Chapter 301 Prince Chengqian is different
Li Chengqian stood up, which was something that no one in the Political Consultative Hall had thought. It was the duty of a country's crown prince to maintain the Eastern Palace. I have never heard of the matter of exile and governing the area.
It is said that a country cannot be without a king for a day. The prince has his own tasks. If the emperor fails to make mistakes, the prince must take power to govern the country at any time. This is the default rule for everyone. However, I didn’t expect that the prince, who has always been afraid of making mistakes, would suddenly come forward today?
"Your Majesty, no, I object." Wang Si, the Minister of Rites, stood up and said.
Then Wei Zheng and others also objected, but among the ministers, the only uncle Changsun Wuji, did not speak, and did not comment on the prince's actions.
Emperor Li Er pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Forget it, Ke'er should go. He was named King of Shu. He is now in Shu and is close to Tubo. Chengqian should stay in Chang'an and help with government affairs.
The beloved ministers are right. As the prince, you can’t just look at one place, but you must look at the entire Tang Dynasty.”
Li Chengqian said loudly: "Please beg your father!
The young ministers are young and have no knowledge and are shallow in their knowledge. They live in Chang'an and cannot see the sufferings of the people from various memorials. Du Madam Du said one thing, "It's so shallow when you know it on paper!"
It is precisely because Erchen is the crown prince that he needs to personally understand the lives of the people. Erchen does not want to be a Zhao Kuo who only knows how to talk about war on paper."
As he said that, he looked at Du Shaoqing, as if he recalled his March study in Luoxia Town.
Other court officials also looked at Du Shaoqing. Many people praised this sentence in a low voice. Being able to say this sentence was just in line with Du Fuma Du's character, and he was pragmatic and not indifferent.
Fang Xuanling persuaded: "The prince thought three times. Throughout history, many monarchs have been studying and growing up in the palace since childhood, and still governing a country. As the crown prince, it is not safe to train in the place, and everything in the world can understand the truth."
Fang Xuanling's words were mentioned to Li Chengqian, but he might not understand, or he understood but was not afraid, so he insisted: "But how many wise kings are like this? His father joined the army at the age of 17 to conquer the world. It was because he had experienced hardships and saw everything that he could become a saint who is praised today.
Li Chengqian dared not say that he had great ambitions, but was willing to imitate his father, so why not be afraid of danger!”
Li Er felt relieved that his son could say this. The eldest son finally got enlightened and did not disappoint his expectations. However, Li Er was also a little reluctant to leave whether he could go to Tubo. He was not worried about how good or bad the Tubo governed, but about his son's safety. After all, he was unfamiliar with the place.
Thinking of this, Li Er raised his eyes and looked at his elder brother-in-law Changsun Wuji, and found that the other party had slightly closed his eyes and frowned, as if he was struggling and contemplating, but he had no intention of speaking. Li Er looked at Du Shaoqing again. Among them, he was the only one who had been to the southwest.
Du Shaoqing also saw the other party's inquiring gaze, smiled slightly, saluted respectfully at Li Er and said: "Father-in-law, if there is nothing else, the son-in-law will ask for a leave."
Hum? What are you doing? Many ministers thought that this is a court meeting, and it is all official business. How can you reminisce about the past with Your Majesty?
But Du Shaoqing continued, "Before coming, my daughter Xuanxuan pestered her to go to Changle Home construction site to dig for treasures. At that time, you were notified by the meeting, so the son-in-law asked the child to ride a tiger alone. However, just such a treasure daughter was always worried, so she wanted to sue her crime and go back and take a look."
"Mr. Du, it's too slutty. Isn't the court discussing matters when you deal with private matters?" The old minister stood up and said dissatisfied.
Who knew that at this time Li Er laughed and scolded: "Go, you know that you are lazy and you will be able to cause trouble here.
Go back and see my granddaughter quickly. If you get rid of some skin, I won’t be able to spare you.”
I... the old minister seemed to have eaten a dead fly. He saw His Majesty actually waved Du Shaoqing back. The latter walked out of the Political Affairs Hall with great swagger. No one said he could have stopped him, and no one said he was rude. Could this Tang Dynasty be opened by his Du family?
Some people who didn't speak understood it, some people were unwilling to offend Du Shaoqing, while Emperor Li Erxin said that this kid seemed to have a smooth side, and this sentence avoided the important things, which actually implied that since the child wanted to do things, even if it was dirty and tiring, the parents could not bear it, they should watch it on the side because the child liked it.
If Du Shaoqing expressed his support or objection in court, he would definitely offend people. And if something happens in the future, he will not be able to escape being impeached, but he would be very smart if he hints like this.
After a moment of silence, Li Erxin said that Du Shaoqing had made it clear. He asked him to go and provide enough security guards. Even if he was worried, he would go to the inspection and care in the future. There was no need to stop him.
"Okay, then let Chengqian go." Li Er looked at his son Li Chengqian with a smile.
"Your Majesty..." Someone wants to say something more.
Li Er said strongly: "What? Do you think I can't take charge in Chang'an? Or who is worried that I can't live for three or five years?"
Okay, no one spoke now, Li Er turned to Li Chengqian and smiled and said, "Did you see it? Everyone is worried about you going, so I have a few requirements.
Give you up to five years to achieve results, at least to ensure that the local people are self-sufficient and loyal to the Tang Dynasty. After five years, no matter how effective you are, you will come back.
In addition, you must first bring good guards and soldiers to go there, and secondly, select capable subordinates. I will give you the privileges and allow you to select people by yourself. There are five quotas for civil and military personnel, and you can choose from the fourth rank or below."
Unexpectedly, his father, who had always been domineering at home, could agree and support him so strongly. Li Chengqian was so moved that he knew that if his third brother Li Ke had gone, he would not have the qualifications to choose people at will.
The emperor agreed, and even the officials such as Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji did not stop him, so all the officials could only do so.
After talking about who would govern Tubo, it was about Hou Junji's reward. In the end, Li Er decided to change the Duke of Lu of Hou Junji to Duke Chen, and continued to serve as the Minister of War, and added the title of Guanglu Dafu (the official of Wensan was the second rank). When the army returned, it was announced. The title of civil and military rank was extremely generous.
After resigning from the court, Li Chengqian did not return to his Eastern Palace, but went to the Queen's Lizheng Hall to say goodbye to her mother. Unexpectedly, Li Er followed her with her. It seemed that both the father and son liked to express their feelings to Queen Changsun.
Li Er pointed to his son and said, "If you don't know much about people or things inside and outside the court, you can ask your uncle first, and tell Du Shaoqing, the kid, and let him take Changle and Xuanxuan into the palace. I miss my granddaughter."
