Chapter 588: The Ruler of the Palace

Ye Mengqiu has also been with Li Hao for a while, and he has some understanding of some of Li Hao's habits, seeing Li Hao smiling so much, he can't help but raise his eyebrows, estimating that the group of ministers must have been remembered by Li Hao, and he can't tell how Li Hao is going to pit them.

Li Hao held the teacup of "serving the people", opened the lid and took a sip of tea, opened his mouth and took a big breath of white gas, and said with a smile: "This ghost weather, it's going to snow again, by the way, what day is today?" ”

Ye Mengqiu stood beside him and replied lightly: "Lord Wang, what about today's winter solstice, how could you not know?" ”

Li Hao turned his head and glanced at him with a smile, and said, "Of course I know, but I just want to ask, so that I can look pretended, the big names in TV and movies are like this, and they will ask their subordinates about big things." ”

Ye Mengqiu was speechless for a while, he knew that Li Hao's "madness" had been committed again.

In Ye Mengqiu's strange expression, Li Hao said again: "Di Renjie has been going to Hangzhou for a while, and it is time to come back, if my guess is correct, he must bring back a lot of official governance problems, Meng Qiu, please help me send a letter to General Xue." ”

"Yes!" Ye Mengqiu respectfully stretched out his hands in front of Li Hao, ready to answer the letter.

Li Hao turned around: "You wait a while, I haven't written it yet." ”

Ye Mengqiu: ......

Li Hao has a characteristic, he can't be idle, as long as he is idle, his words and deeds will become very weird, just like just now, in ancient times, this is called eccentric, in the future world, this is called comics.

Li Hao's speculation is still very accurate, it snowed that night, the next morning, Di Renjie took a group of Dali Temple officials and asked questions to ride horses into Chang'an City, to say that Dali Temple is still very awesome, you can ride a horse in the city, because Dali Temple is generally to deal with urgent cases, so they have the privilege of riding horses in the city.

Di Renjie returned to Dali Temple with a group of people, and immediately went to see Sun Fujia, the secretary of Dali Temple, to report on the situation in Hangzhou.

Li Shimin summoned Sun Fujia in the Ganlu Palace, after watching the recital, Li Shimin's eyebrows gradually twisted, and Di Renjie entered the hall to ask, Li Shimin asked, Di Renjie answered, no one knew, because only the three of them were present at the time, but after Di Renjie and Sun Fujia left, Li Shimin called Xu Lian to serve, Xu Lian found that Li Shimin's expression was very bad, his eyebrows were locked, and he looked worried.

Early the next morning, the court meeting, the ministers gathered in the Taiji Hall to discuss state affairs, today Li Hao actually came, which made the ministers frown, Li Hao went to the court, there must be a big event.

Sure enough, after the court meeting began, Li Shimin held a book in his hand, and said with an angry face: "All the secretaries are the pillars of my Tang Dynasty, supporting the world of my Tang Dynasty, I am the king, the secretary and others are the ministers, work together to govern the world, but today, I want to ask the Zhuqing, who is an official, why?" ”

The ministers all looked at each other when they heard this, Li Shimin asked them why they were officials, this question is very deep, the answer is very subjective, you have to answer well, look at Li Shimin's unhappy appearance today, I'm afraid you can't mess with it, you must not answer wrong, you have to pick up beautiful words.

For this kind of thorny question, no one is willing to take the initiative to answer, because they haven't figured out the direction of the wind yet, and they can't take risks, so it's very important to figure out the holy will, but it's also very dangerous.

Li Shimin saw that no one answered, so he began to roll call, which is a bit like a junior high school classroom, the teacher asks a difficult question, if no one raises their hand, then the teacher will randomly call people to answer, it turns out that this is a tradition.

The first thing Li Shimin pointed to was Di Renjie, he pointed to Di Renjie and asked, "Di Renjie, tell me, why are you an official?" ”

Di Renjie strode out of the ranks, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Wechen has heard a master say a thing, this speech is enough for Wechen to be used for a lifetime, even if Wechen dies in the future, he will order future generations to engrave this word on the inscription." ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin was curious when he heard this, and asked, "What are you talking about, say it and ask me and Zhuqing to listen." ”

"Yes." Di Renjie said slowly, "The man said, 'A manly man, born between heaven and earth, should establish his heart for heaven and earth, and establish his life for the people. For the sake of the saints, for the eternal peace! It's worth it. ’”

Li Hao on the side smacked his lips when he heard this, this kid is really ...... actually took the words he had used to educate Ye Mengqiu, and used them so brilliantly, pretending to be forced in the Taiji Palace, and he was originally going to use it to pretend to be forced, but now it seems that he is going to find a sentence again to deal with Li Shimin's question, as a celebrity next to Li Shimin, Li Hao can think of it with his feet, Li Shimin will definitely let himself answer his strange question.

Li Hao smacked his lips to express his disdain, but Li Shimin was shocked, and the ministers were also moved and discussed, feeling that this sentence was simply awesome, pretending to be too strong, and being so bold that they couldn't do it, they had already begun to discuss, what kind of master could say such bold words.

Li Shimin put his hands on his knees and muttered: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, and a life for the people." For the sake of the saints, for the eternal peace! What a spirit, what a spirit! Di Qing, you tell me which master said this, and I must go and see it in person. ”

Di Renjie said: "Back to Your Majesty, this master is in the palace." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar, and Li Shimin's eyes also widened, and he said with surprise on his face: "It turns out that this person has been taken into my pocket, haha, wonderful, say it quickly, who said it?" ”

Di Renjie arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the person who said this sentence is none other than Li Hao, the king of Qiongnan, Li Shimad. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were about to explode, and they all looked at Li Hao, some were jealous, some were depressed, some were resentful, some were hateful, all kinds of eyes were intertwined, Li Hao could only turn around and clench his fists frequently at everyone, his face was ...... Smug smile, smug smile, no, it should be a smug smile, the word "proud" is too euphemistic, and it is completely impossible to describe Li Hao's state at this moment.

Li Shimin sighed, although he knew that Li Hao had great talent and great ambitions, this sentence came from Li Hao's mouth, he was not surprised, but at this moment Li Hao's painting style is so LO, how can he have half a master's appearance, and Li Shimin's expectations, the difference is a bit big.

"Ahem...... cough ......" Li Shimin suddenly put his hand in front of his mouth and coughed, not knowing whether it was a real cough or a clear cough, and then said slowly, "Poetry madness, it's okay, it's okay." ”

He wanted Li Hao to stop pretending to be forced, because he couldn't stand it anymore, after all, this was the Taiji Palace, and it was not appropriate to pretend to be forced here.

"Yes." Li Hao turned around, bowed his hand, and asked, "Your Majesty wants to ask why the minister is an official?" ”

"Well, you don't have to ask." Li Shimin waved his hand and said slowly, "Poet madman, your words can be cited as the memory of a hundred officials, but how many people can really do it, Zhuqing, have you done it?" ”

The ministers were silent for a while when they heard this, even Wei Zheng didn't dare to answer, although Wei Zheng was upright, honest and honest, but he asked himself if he had not yet achieved the goal of continuing to learn from the saints, so he didn't dare to answer, looking at the current Tang Dynasty, it seems that only Li Hao has done it.

Li Shimin waited for a while, and when he saw that the ministers were silent, his face became ugly, he shook the music in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know why I want to ask you this question today, as an official, he carries the power and duty granted by the imperial court, how to use this power and responsibility, whether it is for the benefit of the people, or for the benefit of the people, it is different from person to person, for the benefit of the people, then one party is rich, singing and dancing is peaceful, and the disaster is for the people, then there are many complaints, and the sorrow is all over the wilderness. Just like driving a ship, I am just at the helm and controlling the direction, how the ship should go, how fast it goes, whether it is stable or not, and I still have to rely on all the officials of Datang, but the officials of Hangzhou are too disappointing to me! ”

Li Shimin said in the end, almost roaring, and threw the song to the ground, the whole hall was suddenly quiet, only Li Shimin's voice was heard echoing in the hall, and no one dared to squeak.

"Di Renjie, you go forward and pick it up, and read it to Zhuqing."

"Yes." Di Renjie stepped forward to pick up the music on the ground, and then read it aloud.

This is a note written by Sun Fujia, which records in detail the results of Di Renjie's handling of the problems left over from Hangzhou in Hangzhou, after Di Renjie's strict review, among the officials of Hangzhou and large and small, there are 35 people who collude with the former Hangzhou assassin Liang Wenyou and the former commander Han Jin, a nest of snakes and rats, and made a series of chaotic political and moral things, among the case files in Hangzhou, there are countless unjust, false and wrongful cases, as many as 736 cases, some of which are naturally Liang Wenyou's deliberate misjudgment for personal gain, and some are Liang Wenyou's limited ability, There is really no way to solve the case, so he can only make a result randomly, and some of the cases are hastily closed, and some of them are misjudged, after all, Liang Wenyou is just a literati who recites poems and reads articles all day long, and his profession is not right for the trial of cases.

Hearing these huge data read by Di Renjie, the ministers were shocked, and when Di Renjie finished reading, Li Shimin spoke: "In a small Hangzhou, thirty-five officials lead the court, but they are harming my people!" It's bearable! It's unbearable! ”

Li Shimin slapped heavily on the dragon chair, his eyes widened, he hadn't been so angry for a long time, only to hear him continue to grit his teeth and say: "This is just a corner of Datang, how many states and counties are there in Datang!" Among the ten states and counties, if there is a state and county like Hangzhou, how can the people of the Tang Dynasty live! ”

Like a group of students who were reprimanded by the teacher, the ministers all lowered their heads and did not say a word, only a few people raised their heads, because they had no shame in their hearts, Li Hao was the one with the highest head.

After a while, Li Shimin said: "This kind of unhealthy trend should be stopped immediately, otherwise the Tang Dynasty, why Chang'an, I will meet today, not to reprimand Zhu Qing, but to give Zhu Qing a good medicine for governing the country, how to clean up the officials and govern the official style." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers began to quietly exchange glances, and they were caught off guard by this sudden question, and it was not a trivial matter, it was a question about the rule of officials, and it was one of the national policies.

After waiting for a long time, no one spoke, Li Shimin was not very happy, and just wanted to speak, but suddenly, he saw a tall figure coming out of the front row of the military attachΓ© ranks, saluting and saying loudly: "Your Majesty, Minister Xue Rengui has something to say." ”
