"You go back and leave the affairs of the Imperial Ancestral Temple to His Highness King Qin. Unless you destroy things, otherwise, don't worry about it. By the way, are there people from the History Museum following you?" Li Shimin asked.
"have."
"Then don't worry about it." Li Shimin fiercely signaled to the captain that he could go back.
After the captain left, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask: "Chang Lin, do you think this bastard has completely lost his temper? He just messed around in other places, but he actually went to the Ancestral Temple to mess around. What happened? He passed. Are you going to dance at Xianling Tomb sometime soon?"
Chang Lin bent over and lowered his head, not daring to speak.
How do you ask him to answer the call?
"I'm so angry." Li Shimin was so angry that he also knew that Chang Lin couldn't accept his words, and it was only he who could complain here in the Tang Dynasty.
"When I die in the future, will he also have to go to Zhaoling to dance for me? I won't let you worry about the New Year. Tell me, in the past, during the first year of the new year, am I the only one who can offer sacrifices the most? Just bow to heaven and earth and that’s it.”
"What now? Today is already the fifth day of the first lunar month, and I just came back with some free time after finishing my work. My time is no longer my own. It was all caused by him. Why do I express my condolences to this and that?"
"He turned out to be fine, so you can just worry a little bit."
Li Shimin was chattering there, and Chang Lin listened silently. Otherwise, what would he do? After so many years, he has heard too many similar things.
Your Majesty can vent his anger for a while.
After muttering a few words, Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and then said directly: "Chang Lin"
"His Majesty."
"Go to the Ancestral Temple, and if he has made any promises to those clans, tell him, just say I have said it, and allow him to promise all these promises on my behalf and worship the ancestors."
Li Shimin sneered.
Li Ke naturally knew that someone had gone to notify Li Shimin, but he did not come to the Ancestral Temple to cause trouble today, so he was not afraid.
Li Ke was not afraid, but the other clan members who came were not in a good mood. Good guy, come to the Ancestral Temple? Except during sacrifices, who comes here during normal times?
"Uncles and brothers." Li Ke waited until everyone had greeted each other, then jumped onto a flower bed next to him without saying a word and said loudly.
Everyone fell silent, of course they all knew that it was Li Ke who called them over.
At this moment, everyone was muttering in their hearts what Li Ke wanted to say.
"Is Brother Li Chongyi here?" Li Ke said simply.
"Ah, I am here. I have met His Highness King Qin." Li Chongyi hurriedly walked out and saluted Li Ke.
Li Chongyi is not too young. He is Li Xiaogong's eldest son, but he is not Li Xiaogong's oldest son. But even so, Li Chongyi is already twenty-eight years old this year.
Li Xiaogong gave birth to him when he was 21 years old.
"Brother, please excuse me. At Yuanzheng's banquet, Prince Hejian and I were drinking together at the table. We were talking about our titles in the Tang Dynasty. Then Prince Hejian complained to me, saying, Brother Chongyi, you have complained. ."
"After you went out, most people knew you because you were the son of Prince Hejian, not because Li Chongyi knew you. Am I right?" Li Ke asked directly.
Li Chongyi was stunned for a moment. Did he complain? He did think so in his heart, but it was impossible for him to complain about this to his father, right?
But since my father said it, he obviously knew about it from somewhere. In any case, since he knew it, there was no big deal in telling His Highness the King of Qin.
There is nothing Li Chongyi dares to admit, and it is not something that is difficult to talk about.
"Yes, I did have this idea." Li Chongyi said simply.
"Then all uncles and brothers must have had similar thoughts?" Li Ke looked at them and said.
Second generations like Li Chongyi have this idea, but different second generations like Li Yuanchang have another idea. They think that they can only keep a low profile about Li Shimin's problem, even though many of them are princes.
Princes who are higher than the county princes are far less well-known than other county princes. There are many officials who don't know them.
"I wonder what Sanlang wants to say?" Li Yuanchang hesitated and said. He is considered a bit more mature. It is not appropriate to call Li Ke Qin King in this situation. After all, he is an elder, and calling anyone else would be too pretentious. , so he was called Saburo.
"It's very simple. Do you want to do something big?" Li Ke looked at them and asked with a faint smile.
event? What kind of thing is called a big event? Except for a few of these people, such as Li Yuanchang, who have certain positions, most of them actually have no positions and only have a virtual title.
More importantly, Li Shimin succeeded many people when they were very young, while Li Yuan stayed in the palace for a long time and ignored them. In a sense, to use the words of later generations, Li Shimin He is their guardian.
The special circumstances of Li Shimin's succession made it even more impossible to give them important responsibilities.
The current situation is that the older ones like Li Yuanchang are okay, and they have some low-level positions. Most of the others are living with a monthly salary and waiting to die.
The Tang Dynasty clan trust reform proposed by Li Ke was actually a good thing for all their clans. At least these clans did not lose anything, but gained more.
The monthly payments from the trust are much greater than before.
"Why don't you say it directly, Sanlang?" Li Yuanchang said.
"Before this, let me ask you a question. Standing in this Ancestral Temple, tell yourself, do you have any thoughts of rebellion?!" Li Ke pointed at the Ancestral Temple behind him and said loudly.
As soon as Li Ke's words came out, everyone was instantly shocked. The oldest among them was Li Chongyi. Li Ke's idea of rebellion scared everyone to death.
Damn it, did you ask that? Even some of the younger ones were surprised. The historians following Li Ke were all dumbfounded. How do you want me to remember this?
"Of course not! Sanlang, what are you talking about!" Li Yuanchang said loudly and decisively.
"Of course not! Our ancestors are above all, we are all members of the clan, how can we rebel!" Li Chongyi also hurriedly spoke loudly.
"Very good! Since we are not prepared to rebel, then as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, why don't we give you positions and high positions? Are you so afraid of your great achievements?!" Li Ke He spoke loudly again.
Everyone: "..."
Your Highness, what are you here to do today? If you want us to die, why don't you just say so? Why bother?
"Don't look at me like that. I'm telling the truth. Many of you must be thinking so. I'm not trying to trick you. Why was Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, good at dancing with beauties and raising hundreds of beauties in his back house? Yes? Because Prince Hejian really has no ambition?"
"No, of course it's because Prince Hejian is afraid that my father will think that he has great achievements and is just protecting his own safety. Everyone can see that. Today, I, Li Ke, will tell the truth in front of my ancestors."
"Because we are all a family! There is nothing that a family cannot communicate with! Whether it is between father and son, husband and wife, brothers, monarchs, ministers, or friends, the biggest source of conflicts is too little communication!"
"Today, in front of our ancestors, let us have a candid exchange!"
"You must have thought about this problem. Your knowledge is no worse than those of the ministers. You are also from a clan. To be honest, you also have a share in the country of the Tang Dynasty. Why can't you make contributions to the eternal stability of the country of the Tang Dynasty? My own contribution?”
"Today, I will tell you why!"
