Chapter 311 Penalty for writing 100 policy theories!
"Your Majesty, would you like to consider this matter again? After all, he is the prince..."
Li Er sat on the royal chair with a dark face and was reviewing the memorial.
Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Duan Lun... and others were standing aside, looking at me and me at you.
In the end, Duan Lun felt that the atmosphere was a little too tense, so he spoke.
Duan Lun said this.
Li Er immediately snorted coldly.
"Should I think about it again?"
"I carried something for women during menstruation on my arm and swaggered through the market for several days. Now all the people in Chang'an know what my son is like."
"That's it, you still ask me to think about it?"
Li Er was already angry, but when Duan Lun said this, he became even more angry.
Even "I" is said as "I", which shows how angry he is.
What else is there to consider?
As a father, if his son disgraces such an adult, he must be dealt with seriously, right?
When Li Er got angry, Du Ruhui and others who wanted to say something suddenly shut up.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. There are some things that are hard to talk about.
But then, Li Er sighed again.
Snapped!
With a crisp sound, the pen was slapped on the desk.
Then he sighed and looked at everyone.
"Then what do you think we should do? If I tolerate this matter, where will the dignity of the imperial court be in the future?"
"The emperor has lost his virtue and people's hearts are wandering. Can anything good happen in the Tang Dynasty?"
When Li Er said this, Du Ruhui opened his mouth.
Wei Zheng seemed to want to say something, but then he shut up.
then……
Li Er sighed again.
It's been a really good day...
At this moment, Duan Lun spoke again.
"Your Majesty, I think the punishment for this matter is a bit too heavy. Although the prince's image is bad, he is still a prince after all. If he is punished to write a hundred policy papers at once, I am afraid this will make the prince resentful..."
Duan Lun finished speaking worriedly and looked at Li Er.
Ordinary "hate" occurs between father and son, and it is over.
But since he said it, this means...
This means that the heavy punishment of these 100 policy papers may not be caused by "ordinary" resentment.
What's more, there is also a clause that changes the deposit if it is not finished, which is tantamount to a big move.
Therefore Duan Lun was very worried.
Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and others also thought so.
After all, the prince is still the prince, the royal father and son are not getting along, and there is the shadow of the Xuanwu Sect in front of them. If the Tang Dynasty is not careful, there may be a real risk of instability.
How does this work?
That’s why I said I definitely need to think about it again.
However, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng did not speak after all.
Duan Lun felt a little strange that these two people didn't speak, but he didn't think much about it. Since they didn't want to say anything, he would just say it himself.
Although he is not in charge of the clan, he is still a minister of the six departments and a close minister of the emperor. It is not good if he does not say anything.
However, when Duan Lun said this, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng looked at each other calmly.
I thought that Brother Duan was too much of a gentleman. The key to this matter was not just the prince...
If it comes to other trivial matters, it will be fooled. No matter how you say that the army is out now, the Tang Dynasty can be stable and there will be no fire in the backyard, which is better than anything else.
But what they didn't expect was...
The idea just occurred.
Li Er shook his head and said, "No, this matter must be severely punished. Even if the prince really wants to rebel, I have to do it!"
After Li Er finished speaking, Duan Lun was stunned.
I'll go, no.
Will he be punished if he forces the prince to rebel?
Isn't this a joke? The weather has already entered autumn. Not to mention the prince, even myself and such ministers will not be able to produce hundreds of policy papers by the end of the year.
That is a policy statement, not a story!
Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and several other ministers looked at Li Er in surprise.
Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng looked at each other, their minds lost.
Damn it, Your Majesty, is he planning to make it clear?
In fact, they all knew what Li Er was planning to do.
This... this is going to be exchanged for savings!
Duan Lun was shocked and immediately kowtowed to remonstrate.
But before he could say anything, Li Er waved his hand to stop him.
"There is no need to persuade me. This matter is not a child's play. You will consider it. As a father, won't I think about it carefully?"
"The position of the prince has been the most sensitive since ancient times. The ancients once said that the person who makes trouble for the country is more at fault than the person who makes the crown prince."
"How wise was King Wuling of Zhao during the Warring States Period? Just because he chose his youngest son as a prince, the Zhao Kingdom continued to have coups and foreign enemies took advantage of it. From then on, the country's power plummeted. How could I not learn a lesson?"
…
Li Er spoke very seriously, and Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng immediately lowered their heads.
but……
Duan Lun and several other ministers who came to discuss the matter fell into doubts.
They all raised their heads and looked at Li Er in surprise.
this……
Li Chengqian seems to be the oldest among Li Er's children.
If Li Chengqian is not allowed to be the crown prince, then why do you say there should be order between elders and younger ones?...
This strange contradiction lingers in everyone's minds.
However, no one could figure out why, and in the end they could only put it aside for the time being.
Only Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
After the discussion that night, the two left the palace together.
On the way...
Halfway through, Du Ruhui suddenly sighed.
"Well, Xuanling has been busy with food and supplies recently, otherwise I can discuss it carefully later..."
"Well……"
Wei Zheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, there is nothing to discuss."
"Your Majesty's meaning is very obvious to me. It is clearly..."
Wei Zheng's words have not yet finished.
Du Ruhui nodded.
"That's it when I think about it. Your Majesty originally had the intention of changing the crown prince to the eldest prince, which is also a good thing for us. After all, the Tang Dynasty was not established for a long time, and it needs a British master."
"From the perspective of selecting talents, there is nothing better than choosing the eldest prince. If you want to establish the elder rather than the younger, it should be the eldest prince."
Wei Zheng thought for a while and then said.
"I think your Majesty has already made up his mind. In fact, we don't need to care too much. Many people have heard what you said today. If your Majesty can give this air, he should be preparing to announce the news on a certain day."
Du Ruhui also nodded.
"I estimate that once the war in Turks becomes clear, the matter will be settled. By then the Turks will be crowned, the noble families will not be able to stir up troubles, and the world will calm down, it will be time for His Highness to enter the East Palace."
"Oh... I never expected that."
While they were talking, the two of them had already walked far away from the palace, under the bright moonlight.
Du Ruhui sighed, and Wei Zheng also laughed.
"The most virtuous young minister of the Tang Dynasty happens to be the future His Majesty. If he knows this, I am afraid that the Turks and Goguryeo will never dare to antagonize the Tang Dynasty again. Hahahahahaha!"
