Tang Jian faced the crowd as if he were a returning king, and then he cupped his hands towards Changsun Wuji: "I would like to ask Master Sikong, gentlemen, why is it that the achievements of the King of Shu are not worthy of being crowned King of Qin?"

"The King of Shu invented the divine weapon to control the country, which gave me the confidence of the Tang Dynasty. I am not afraid of any country or force at all."

"The King of Shu established the post office, which solved the problem of feeding countless refugees, made national government orders smooth, and facilitated the transportation of materials. This food crisis fully reflects the advantages of this post office..."

"The King of Shu improved the papermaking technology, making paper as cheap as leaves. The King of Shu invented movable type printing, which increased the printing speed by a hundred and a thousand times. The King of Shu invented the newspaper, allowing everyone in the world to quickly learn about the government's decrees."

"Letting people all over the world read is a great contribution to the benefit of mankind. It can be praised for thousands of years. We scholars should be grateful to him, and future generations should not forget him..."

"Isn't this a credit?"

"The King of Shu is not afraid of the arrogance and rudeness of the powerful families. He asks them to hand over local power obediently, return power to the court, return the land to the people, put down the Xingyang rebellion, and make the Li family of Longxi loyal to his majesty and the court..."

"Aren't these considered achievements and of no use to the court?"

"Huh, let's not talk about this anymore. He is the prince, and these are what he should do."

"But the King of Shu is a kind man, respects the old and loves the young..."

Everyone's lips twitched immediately, Mr. Tang Jian, doesn't your conscience hurt when you say this?

But Tang Jian's conscience would not hurt at all, and continued: "The most important thing is to have filial piety. While others are far away on the front line, I still don't forget to ask the princess to visit the Emperor frequently, pay greetings to the Queen and His Majesty, and always miss the Emperor and His Majesty the Queen."

"I also heard that the King of Shu prepared dozens of sets of clothes for his newly-born sister, and customized them from small to large. He said that he would cover all the future expenses of his sister..."

"With such virtue, why is he not worthy of being crowned King of Qin?"

"As for this western expedition to Tuyuhun, you must know that the King of Shu is only sixteen years old. What are you still doing at the age of sixteen?"

"Please ask yourself, I remember that when I was sixteen years old, I was still studying poetry..."

"However, our King of Shu commanded an army of 160,000 and destroyed Tuyuhun without using a grain of grain from the court. If you don't believe it, you can ask the Minister of Household Affairs, did the King of Shu use a grain of grain from the court?"

"It's sitting in Longxi, the capital, and will be shipped to Guanzhong soon."

Everyone looked at each other. They didn't even know this. Your Majesty... Your Majesty is such a charlatan.

Even Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling looked at each other, and they didn't know about it.

Tang Jian said proudly: "It is said that this time the King of Shu personally charged into the battle, led 350 cavalry, went deep into the hinterland of Tuyuhun, attacked the city, and captured alive the queen of Tuyuhun Khan and dozens of civil servants and nobles."

"Then, the King of Shu himself committed suicide and entered the palace of Tuyuhun - Fuqi City."

"A total of countless cattle and sheep were seized this time. It is estimated that there are about 500,000 cattle."

"Especially the war horses. They are the finest green-maned horses on the plateau. They can travel thousands of miles a day."

"Now it belongs to the Tang Dynasty. This will solve the Tang Dynasty's weakness of lacking plateau war horses in the future, and we will not be afraid of Tibet..."

"When the materials captured by the King of Shu arrive in the Tang Dynasty, they will once again stimulate commercial prosperity. Those people still want to go against the imperial court and collect food privately. This is a joke, a big joke..."

Tang Jian kept talking, and his words were spitting, as if he was once again standing in the enemy's camp, negotiating with the enemy leader.

"Everyone, is this what you call unworthy?"

"Then I would like to ask, who is worthy?"

Changsun Wuji's eyes widened, and he kept shouting "fuck" in his heart.

This Tang Jian really didn't realize that today this bastard is determined to take the weight and wants to go with the King of Shu!

Wang Gui, the Minister of Rites, after careful consideration, also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I also feel that the King of Shu is worthy of the title of King of Qin."

"I think the title of King of Qin is noble, but it is not as scary as you said. The stability of the court, the stability of the country, and the internal fighting among the princes are all conjectures..."

"Your Majesty did not give the King of Shu military power, nor did he give the King of Shu the central authority. It was just a title."

"Your Majesty, I think you are too worried."

Everyone: "..."

The court fell into dead silence.

Fang Xuanling quickly stood up again, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is too early to canonize the King of Shu at this moment. It is better to wait for him to come back. According to military merit, it is not too late to canonize him again. Now we should think of ways to deal with tomorrow's food." Crisis issues.”

"Your Majesty, this is the most important thing right now."

Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian County, also bowed and said: "Your Majesty, what Fang Pushe said is absolutely true. The food crisis problem should be solved now."

When the others saw that Fang Xuanling had found steps for both parties, they immediately borrowed the donkey from the slope and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, you should put state affairs first."

This is what Li Shimin wants.

In fact, from the beginning, he never thought of successfully canonizing the King of Qin at once.

As Wei Zheng said, he gave his sons a good start, but he was afraid that they would imitate him and follow his old path.

But it was impossible not to canonize Li Ke. Forced by the situation, he had to take the risk.

If the Tang Dynasty wanted to prosper far beyond the Qin and Han Dynasties, to be the common ruler of the world, it was necessary to have a successor with both ability and political integrity.

The prince is too cowardly now. Even his two younger brothers cannot surrender. Why should others surrender to him?

He has been paving the way for the prince for a long time, arranging famous generals to serve in the East Palace, letting him train his own team, arranging civil servants and military generals, letting him get close to him, and letting him learn...

But what has he done? ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz

He listens to villains, hires sycophants, gets closer to Confucianism, and wears the same pants as Shandong's wealthy nobles. Doesn't he know that what I hate the most is Shandong's wealthy families?

If he canonizes Li Ke as King of Qin, it will stimulate the prince and Qingque, so that they can grow up quickly under oppression and be able to share his worries in the future.

Although the world's surname is Li, he has also eliminated the major troubles in the north, but this is not the Tang Dynasty in his heart, and internal and external troubles still exist.

There are rampant aristocratic families, and things that don't take Li Shimin seriously often happen, and the people's lives are still very difficult...

There are powerful enemies outside. Tubo is getting stronger and stronger and has annexed the entire plateau.

The entire Western Region in the northwest is still in a state of chaos. They control the Silk Road and prevent the Tang Dynasty from carrying out commercial trade. This seriously curbs the exchanges and development between the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

The Western Turks are still a serious concern of the Tang Dynasty. If the Western Turks are not eliminated, Li Shimin will feel uneasy.

Although ants are small, they may kill you when you are weaker.

As for the boys wanting to rebel, hahaha...

If Li Shimin's sons really had that strength, he would hope that they would rebel against me.

I am afraid that the mud will not hold up the wall, I am not able to push myself, and I will be encouraged by others to do stupid things.

In that case, he would rather make his most powerful son the emperor.

Having the eldest son as the first heir is of great benefit to the court and the stability of the country.

But is the eldest son a piece of shit? Do you want him to be the king of a country, causing harm to the people, and being used as a puppet by powerful ministers?

This is the danger of establishing the elders rather than the young, and passing on the descendants instead of concubines!

The main reason is that he, Li Shimin, is not the eldest son, but he wants to make his eldest son the crown prince. Isn't this a joke?

He, Li Shimin, did not want to give up the empire he had built to others.

His uncle-in-law has great ambitions. He is now rich and powerful, which is fine, but what if he leaves Sun Wuji first?

Who can say for sure?

"In this case, in accordance with the wishes of the ministers, as for the King of Shu's canonization of the King of Qin, it will not be too late to canonize him when his achievements are greater."

"What do you think, sir?"

Your Majesty has said this, your Majesty has given in and compromised. If they continue to press forward step by step, it will not be remonstrance.

Rather, there is a suspicion of forcing the uterus, and the black hat is not guaranteed, and the head is moved, so it is no wonder that His Majesty.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Shimin left angrily, muttering as he walked: "I'm so wise, if I were really wise, you wouldn't force me into the palace..."

Although the voice was small, all the ministers heard it.

Everyone: "..."

Then, Li Shimin turned back and said: "The food will enter Chang'an City tomorrow. Each minister will perform his duties. I don't want anything to go wrong. Whoever makes a mistake or resigns on his own initiative, I will allow you to provide for your retirement..."

"By the way, asking Wei Zheng to supervise in person is a meritorious service. I don't want to bear the reputation of a foolish king."

Wei Zheng, who was still struggling outside, immediately stopped struggling after hearing these words, and seemed very calm.

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that I was not feeling well.

Damn it, is this being used by His Majesty as a big grievance?
