Faced with the questioning of this old man, all the officials on the city tower dared not stand up and said that they should not be inquire about state affairs.

But Li Shimin had already said what he said just now, and all the ministers remained silent, waiting for Li Shimin to admit his mistake.

Li Shimin also knew that he should admit his mistake, but he had not admitted his mistake in public for many years, and Li Shimin still believes that the following soldiers were just inspired by villains and could not explain any big reason.

In recent years, the ministers have mentioned to him what improper government policies in the court or what faults he has made.

Li Shimin had to question the other party repeatedly in public, which made fewer and fewer ministers dare to tell the truth in front of him in recent years. Now a group of big-headed soldiers suddenly appeared not only to advise him, but also to force him to admit his mistakes in public.

How is this possible?

Seeing that Li Shimin could not let go, Li Shimin stepped forward and bowed solemnly to Li Shimin, "Father, you must listen to your advice to you!"

Li Shimin turned his head to look at Li Chengqian and asked angrily: "They are just being provoked by villains. What kind of clever insights can they have?"

Li Chengqian was stunned when he heard this and seemed to have overestimated Li Shimin's mind. He could only smile bitterly and explain patiently: "The Book of Rites. Doctrine of the Mean" says, "Shun is also a great knowledge. Shun is interested in asking questions and observing the near words, concealing evil and promoting good, holding on to both ends, and using it for the people, he thinks that Shun's "

My father thought that with the wise wisdom of Emperor Shun, he should listen more to the people's words, hide bad content, and leave good things to use on the people, so he can achieve the cause of the saint king.

When Zhao Gong advised Li Mi to slander, he also said, "The blind offerings, the historical offerings, the masters, the blind offerings, the hazy recitations, the advice of all craftsmen, and the slogans of common people...'

Any blind, deaf, witch doctor and all craftsmen can give advice, let alone the emperor who was tens of thousands of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty in person, how could the emperor not listen?

The emperor cannot just listen to the words of the scholars and officials. Some scholars are not diligent in their four bodies and are not divided into grains. After reading two sentences, they think that the world is not as good as him. They play around all day long, so they should listen less to such people.

No matter how many tens of thousands of soldiers look like blinded ignorant people, they take a step back and say that if someone can trick them to this point, the father should listen to what they are going to say so that they can know the other party’s purpose.”

In ancient China, tribal leaders were all practical people. Before making decisions, they had to listen to the experiences and lessons of many people, so the rules they made were proven to be correct by practice at that time.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, a Zhou Gong was released. With his super abilities, he summarized the experiences of previous sages and his own experiences, so he formulated the "Li of Zhou".

The most important thing in "The Book of Zhou" is to listen to the voices of the people. The Zhou Dynasty's poets were set up to allow rulers to listen to the voices of the people.

Later, when the Western Zhou Dynasty perished and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was weak and unable to maintain this mechanism, dogmatists like Confucius emerged. He took it as his mission to learn and maintain the established "Book of Zhou".

He gave up and continued to absorb wisdom from the people to form new rituals, so he was a dogmatician. Later, Mencius was not as good as Confucius. Mencius only knew how to do benevolent government, but he knew nothing about how to do benevolent government. So after reading "Mencius", he knew that every time he went to a country, he would speak a lot of things, but he could not say any specific methods of governance, mainly because he had not carefully examined the local situation.

After hearing this, the king could only tell him that what you said was very good, but I couldn't implement it.

Mencius was just a troll, but at that time there was no internet to go all over the country to swear people.

However, in ancient times, trolls were not respected by others and they were called "Sousu". Later, people shamelessly explained that "Sousu" was a respectful title.

Later generations all talked about the ways of Confucius and Mencius, but in fact, there were differences between Confucius and Mencius. I think Confucius could really see Mencius's words and would definitely recite them and not say a word to him.

Later, the Legalists had to conduct detailed investigations and research, but they were conducting investigations and analysis from the perspective of rulers, so the Legalists' things were easily issued in the form of government orders.

Before the pre-Qin period, those Legalists went to lobby for a country, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they could hit the point of the country and come up with feasible terms.

This is also the reason why the Qin Dynasty was established by the Legalists.

However, it is inevitable that the Legalists will have harsh policies just from the top, and at this time people like Mencius need to correct their mistakes.

From the late Western Zhou Dynasty, China's political elites no longer learned good experiences from the people. Although there were occasionally some people from the bottom, they also read Confucian classics.

Moreover, these people only have their own experience and cannot draw on more underlying experience to form new ideas and theories.

This situation continued until the Republic of China. Although the political elites of the Republic of China no longer regarded Confucius and Mencius as dogmas, they regarded foreigners as dogmas.

It was not until *** personally went to the grassroots to conduct investigations (written the "Hunan Farmers Investigation Report") that the theory of "coming from the masses and going to the masses" was formed, and the trend of the past two thousand years was changed and the method of saints such as Shun and Zhou Gong obtaining basic reference information for political theory and policy formulation was further inherited.

Li Chengqian wanted to change the way Li Shimin obtained information by casually doing it, just like he was a mantis armed mantis.

Li Shimin was selective in accepting advice. He was afraid that the ministers above would deceive him, so he had to listen to what the officials at the bottom said.

So even though Li Chengqian changed his normal behavior and persuaded Li Shimin, Li Shimin still disliked him. He only looked at the soldiers under the city wall and barely showed a gentle smile and said: "It is rare that you are loyal to the country, and I should really listen to what you say.

Since you said you shouldn't release the surrendered soldiers from the Mobei tribes back to Mobei, then you can tell me what to do if you keep them. Could you let me kill them all?"

"Your Majesty, I think they are also raised by my parents until they are in their teens and twenties, and it's a pity to kill the monsters like this. I heard that His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince intends to send them to dig gold mountains for our Tang Dynasty, so let them dig gold mountains."

As soon as this was said, Fang Xuanling could no longer hold it back, and immediately stood at the battlement and shouted loudly to the bottom: "When the Turks were strong, every time they went south to rob, they would take our Tang people back to the grassland to be slaves and maids. Your Majesty has always been very disgusted with this. He had asked the Turks to return our Tang people many times. Later, the army captured Jie Li Khan and rescued all the Tang people back.

As the saying goes, do not do to others if you do not want others to do to you. My Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, how can you do such a barbarian thing?"

Fang Xuanling didn't want to jump out, but he had already seen this and came to him. If he didn't fight back, the matter would definitely be more difficult.

"Duke Liang, stop talking nonsense about the country and the people." Li Chengqian scolded Fang Xuanling without hesitation.

Since Li Chengqian no longer expressed his hope for Li Shimin, he could only stand up by himself.

Li Shimin and the ministers on the city tower looked at Li Chengqian in shock.

I thought to myself, isn’t this something that has nothing to do with you?
