Chapter 1188: Loyalty and Treachery
1188. Loyalty and Treachery
Li Shimin saw that the ministers had no objections, so he also looked around, got up, and happily ordered: "In this case, then compile the "Clan Chronicles"."
"Obey Your Majesty's holy decree", when the ministers saw Li Shimin's appearance, they knew that the matter had been settled, and they echoed it one after another.
"What does it look like? Who can preside over the compilation of the Chronicles of the Clans? Li Shimin glanced at the ministers in the hall, how important the "Clan Chronicles" is, it must be presided over by the important ministers present.
Fang Du Gaowei and others, you look at me, I look at you, and finally looked at Li Shimin, but found that Li Shimin was staring at the prince, and the ministers suddenly woke up, the compilation of the "Clan Chronicles" is only the presiding leader, and there is no need to do it yourself, it is not too difficult, looking at it like this, His Majesty is planning to hand it over to His Royal Highness the Prince, so that the prince can make meritorious deeds.
When the ministers heard this, they knew the meaning of the strings, and Yu Wenshi twisted his beard, shook his head and said: "The Chronicles of the Clan is a very important matter, and people who are not famous and talented cannot do it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so prestigious and well-known that according to the old minister, it is best for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to preside over this matter."
When the ministers heard this, they all nodded in agreement, and Li Shimin also nodded at Li Pojun with a slight smile.
Li Pojun was startled when he heard this, how could he take this job, you must know that the "Chronicles of the Clan" has been repaired for several years, if he takes over this task, it means that Li Pojun will have to accompany an old scholar to compile a book in the future, which is boring, but Li Pojun doesn't want to go.
Immediately waved his hand blankly and shook his head: "No, I am only a shallow learner, how can I take on this important responsibility, and I have other important matters, I really have no time to take care of it."
Li Shimin was curious when he heard this, and he frowned and asked, "What is your important matter?" ”
Li Pojun thought for a while and said straightly: "Aya should have heard that I have built a martyr's shrine on Tianxiu Peak of Cuihua Mountain, and all the fallen soldiers of the Shence Army can enter the shrine to enjoy incense, fire and blood food."
"Well, I have heard of it, this is a very good move, and the fallen soldiers are all loyal martyrs of the country, and they should be respected." Li Shimin also nodded suspiciously.
"Your Highness's move is really righteous, not only to comfort this fallen soldier, but also to boost the morale of the army." Fang Xuanling also nodded when he heard this, and twisted his beard in praise.
Before Li Pojun could speak, Li Shimin reacted, "Do you want the imperial court to also build an ancestral hall to worship the fallen soldiers?" Saying that, Li Shimin's eyes flashed brightly, and he felt that this move was promising.
"Yes, our dynasty fights every year, and there are countless soldiers who die in battle, and most of them do not leave their names, and are soon forgotten by the world, which is really unbearable, they are the martyrs of the country, and they should be immortalized, and they should be praised and admired by the world." Li Pojun also clenched his fists with a heavy face.
Hearing Li Pojun's words, the ministers, including Li Shimin, fell silent, Li Pojun saw this and said: "As Uncle Fang said, building an ancestral hall to enjoy the worship can not only comfort the heroic souls of the soldiers, protect the Tang Dynasty, but also enhance the morale of the soldiers.
Speaking of this, there is no need for Li Pojun to waste his tongue, Li Shimin quickly said that it was a state, "The Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites have a department, and from now on, the site will be selected to build the Martyrs' Shrine, and it must be solemn and solemn, and there is no need to be poor."
Under the hall, the secretary of the household department wore a canteen, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Dou Lu Kuan, and the two of them came out to receive the order.
Without waiting for the ministers to take a breath, Li Pojun said again: "Since there is a martyr's shrine to worship the heroic soul, then those traitors who have been stinking for thousands of years should also have a whereabouts, for thousands of years, there are countless Chinese heroes and righteous people, there are virtuous ministers like Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang, and there are traitors like Zhao Gao and Huang Hao; There are honest people like Zhang Qian and Su Wu, and there are traitors like Bank of China and Wei Lu. Such traitors should be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and scorned by future generations, so that I will see if those who are not right-minded are afraid, and I have to weigh before I want to do things that are sorry for the people, the country, and the nation."
Speaking of this, Li Pojun coughed, looked at the slightly stunned people, and said straightly: "I intend to compile a "Record of Loyalty and Traitor", which is divided into two lists of loyal and virtuous and traitorous people, recording the loyal and virtuous and traitorous since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and practicing with the national history, revising it from generation to generation, so that the loyal and virtuous will last for a hundred generations, and let the traitors be stinky for ten thousand years." Ayah, what about the public opinion? ”
The ministers swallowed their saliva, looking at Li Pojun with horror, and even Fang Du was trembling.
It's too ruthless, Li Pojun's move is too ruthless.
Let's ask the world martial arts, which one doesn't care about the Ming after his death, "but the king of the world, win the name before and after his death", this is the lifelong pursuit of Wenchen military generals, especially Wenchen, which does not cherish feathers.
When I think about the name of the virtuous minister who has been famous for hundreds of generations, I can't help but feel excited when I am surrounded by noble people like Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng. Thinking about the name of the traitor again, I only feel cold all over my body.
Wei Zheng looked at Li Pojun with stiff hands, he swore that he did not value wealth or power, and dared to face the tough emperor without fear of death, and the rest of the family did not love money, but he was only not calm about Li Pojun's "Loyal and Traitorous Record".
Li Shimin was surprised, and then looked at the important ministers who were calm in the past under the hall, all of them were uncertain at the moment, their faces changed, and they also had a plan in their hearts.
"What do you think of the prince's discussion?"
After a moment of silence, Li Shimin glanced at the important minister and asked.
The ministers had no objections.
Li Shimin was in a very good mood, and felt that the martyr's shrine and the record of loyalty and traitor proposed by Li Pojun were really wonderful, and immediately clapped his hand and said: "The martyr's shrine will be handled by the Ministry of Household Rites, and if you have any undecided, you can ask the prince." The record of loyalty and traitor was compiled by the prince, Wei Zheng, the secretary of the ministry, Kong Yingda, the secretary of the country, and Xiao Yu, the young master of the prince, assisted from the side.
Li Pojun happily responded, and only felt that Li Shimin's good use of people was not a lie, you must know that the revision of the "Record of Loyalty and Traitor" is a flawless work, you must know who did not have a bastard on the ancestor, if someone on his ancestor entered the list of traitors, it would be over, and at the same time, he also hoped that someone on his ancestor could enter the list of loyal and virtuous, if someone on the ancestor was a loyal and virtuous person appointed by the imperial court, then it would be more face-saving to say it.
Therefore, this compilation work cannot be carried out with selfish intentions, and the three people sent by Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, and Kong Yingda, are all well-known hard-headed ministers, they may be a little selfish to make a name for themselves, but it is impossible to accept bribes from others.
After the matter of "Loyal and Traitorous" is decided, it is back to the previous topic, the compilation of "Clan Chronicles", and now that "Loyal and Traitorous Records" is out, the light of "Clan Chronicles" is not so conspicuous, after all, "Clan Chronicles" is to deal with the family, and the meaning of "Loyal Traitors" is much larger.
