When the emperor saw Cen Wenwen, he showed his face and said, "What do you want, sir?"
As expected of my close minister, he knows when to come out and have sex...
"I heard that it is difficult to create a cause to rectify chaos; it is not easy to maintain the foundation that has been established. The former home is in peace, so we are prepared for danger, so we set our world, there is a beginning and an end, so we build up its foundation. Today, although hundreds of millions of people are safe, there is peace in all directions
, not only after the chaos of the canopy, but also withered, the household registration has been reduced a lot, and the farmland has been cultivated and avoided. The grace of covering is remarkable, but the scars have not been recovered; the trend of moral education is widespread, but the assets are repeatedly empty..."
As soon as Cen Wenwen said these elegant words, all the ministers were a little dizzy.
We are talking about the fact that the King of Wei appointed the Crown Prince to patrol Guanzhong. What are you talking about?
Only the emperor was secretly happy. Cen Wenwen chatted for a while. It was time for the court meeting, right?
Cen Wenwen didn't care about them, but said to himself: "Your Majesty looks at the events of the past and present, and looks for opportunities for safety and danger. The highest priority is the country, and the next is the billions of trillions. He chooses wisely, is careful about rewards and punishments, recruits talented people, and does not retreat.
Change immediately after hearing it, follow advice like a stream, do good by not doubting, and believe in orders when they are issued. You should cultivate your spirit and cultivate your nature, save on hunting and playing, go away from luxury and frugality, and reduce the cost of work and labor...The king of Wei built a mansion in Yongxingfang.
, the decorations are gorgeous, the expenses are extravagant, and there are many things that exceed the regulations. I sincerely request your Majesty to issue an order to punish..."
The courtiers were all happy, thinking that this person was helping His Majesty and Xini, but it turned out that he was just trying to drain the fire from under the cauldron!
What is over-the-top? It means using things that are beyond the limits of one's status. The King of Wei over-stepped the rules. Even if he was killed, he would not dare to use things that could only be used by the emperor. So only using the prince's rules would be considered over-the-top.
Throughout the dynasties, people have attached great importance to exceeding the rules. Even if the king of Wei violated the rules on a daily basis, the emperor tacitly approved it, but after all, it was just an unspoken rule under the water. If you don't say anything, I don't say anything, just pretend you don't know.
But if you put it on the table, it’s absolutely not okay!
Rules are rules, otherwise what's the use?
Neither can the emperor.
Will the King of Wei patrol Guanzhong on behalf of the Emperor?
Don't talk nonsense. The King of Wei is the King of Wei. No matter how great he is, he can't be greater than the prince. Using the prince's regulations is considered exceeding the regulations. So what does it mean to patrol Guanzhong on behalf of the prince?
This is the biggest overreach!
After Cen Wenwen finished speaking, he lowered his head and returned to the train like a normal person, closing his eyes slightly and saying nothing.
But this sentence is enough!
Who dares to ask the King of Wei to patrol Guanzhong on behalf of the crown prince? Whoever dares to mention it means that he does not take the laws of the Tang Dynasty seriously, he does not take the majesty of the Tian family in his eyes, he has no rules and regulations, and he is treasonous!
His Majesty Li Er was so angry that his face turned black!
Well, I thought you were a close person who could help me solve my problems, but who knew that you, a bastard, could push me up against the wall in the blink of an eye and prevent me from getting down!
disagree?
Who here can't see that His Majesty Li Er intends to let the King of Wei take the crown prince to patrol Guanzhong? If he disagrees, it is obviously self-defeating and lowering his prestige.
You insist on having your own way, but you still agree?
That's even worse! If you don't care about the rules when you are the emperor, how can you care about others? Today the King of Wei is overstepping the rules, tomorrow he will be the King of Qi, and the queen will be the King of Jin. Anyway, there are many monkeys in your old Li family.
, then it’s not a mess?
His Majesty Li Er's handsome face first turned purple, then turned purple, and he was filled with shame, anger, and rage!
But it just doesn’t happen...
Seeing that His Majesty's eyes seemed to be bursting with fire, he was staring at Cen Wenwen with such a posture that he wanted to bite Cen Wenwen to death...
Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Zhao Guogong, hurriedly left the office and said: "Your majesty, please calm down. What Cen Wenwen said is right. The king of Wei has exceeded the rules and must be reprimanded. Otherwise, the law will not be followed. How can we pursue the country? It is not a matter of patrolling Guanzhong on behalf of the prince."
Because the prince's status of thousands of times cannot be established under a dangerous wall, there are disaster victims everywhere outside the city, and there must be those with resentments among them. If he takes advantage of the prince's governorship and takes risks, it may lead to unbearable disasters. That's why King Wei has
Instead, this move does not exceed the regulations."
An old fox is an old fox. In Changsun Wuji's words, not only did he describe King Wei's fault of overstepping the rules as a "reprimand", but just now Cen Wenwen said that he wanted to "decree the crime", secretly changed the concept, and even asked King Wei to find the prince on his behalf.
There is a legal basis.
What is law?
It's nothing more than the rules of human relations that are often established by convention.
According to what Changsun Wuji said, the King of Wei took the place of the Crown Prince to patrol Guanzhong. Not only did he not violate the rules, but it was the King of Wei who could not bear to put the Crown Prince in danger for the sake of brotherhood. It was an act of "going to danger for his brother", which can be said to be noble and honorable.
Unparalleled...
At this time, Yu Zhining, the concubine of the Crown Prince Zuo, said loudly: "Why does Zhao Guogong have to whitewash it with clever words? The Crown Prince is the Crown Prince, how can there be any substitution? Today, the governor of Guanzhong wants the King of Wei to replace him, which will surely spread rumors and make the country uneasy.
Absolutely not!"
He is the prince's teacher and the pillar of the East Palace. How can he see the responsibilities that should be borne by the prince being transferred to others?
This is a matter of principle, and you cannot take a step back! Otherwise, take one step back today, one step back tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow you will have to step aside to make way for someone better.
Even if he thinks in his heart that the prince is unworthy, no matter how unworthy he is, he is still a prince. He should be trained well and must not be easily stored up and shake the foundation of the country!
As soon as Yu Zhining finished speaking, someone else stood up to refute him, saying that he was unreasonable and was just acting as governor. What's the big problem?
There was a commotion in the court hall.
His Majesty Li Er only felt his head hurt and his heart was angry, but he never thought that the current civil and military disputes in the entire dynasty were due to his ambiguous attitude towards Wei King Li Tai.
If he hadn't given everyone an "unwarranted" signal, who would have dared to openly debate the reserve position in the court?
That is a big taboo for officials!
"boom!"
His Majesty Li Er was furious, slammed the table, glared at Cen Wenwen who was nothing, and shouted: "Cen Aiqing, do you still have this memorial?"
You're the one who caused all the trouble, and you pretend to be innocent after all?
Beautiful thought!
No matter how hard I try, I will drag you into the water. I just have to find a good way to end this meeting today. If I just add fuel to the fire and don’t put out the fire, I’ll be happy with you!
Cen Wen had no expression on his face, but the corners of his eyes twitched slightly. It seemed that he had made the emperor anxious today and was in great danger...
But who told us that we already have our hearts set on something, and whether it is the Crown Prince or the King of Wei, we will never let go if we can suppress it?
He walked out of the train, bowed and saluted, and raised the "Don't Pai" high in his hand again: "I have my own notes!"
His Majesty Li Er said with a sullen face: "Come quickly!"
Cen Wenwen said loudly: "If King Wei is the governor on behalf of the crown prince, rumors will spread everywhere, which will inevitably damage King Wei's reputation, and I can't bear to see it. For the sake of King Wei's reputation, I have the courage to ask your Majesty to divide the counties in Guanzhong into several counties.
In each area, order all adult princes to take charge of their respective responsibilities, and assign an area to appease the people, inspect the disaster situation, and calm the people's minds. You can even observe their performance to determine the merits."
As soon as this statement came out, what else didn’t everyone understand?
This is Hong Guoguo’s benefit for Shu King Li Ke!
Fang Xuanling shook his head and sighed: "It's high, it's really high!"
Cen Wenwen did not directly mention Li Ke, the king of Shu, because although Li Ke had a virtuous reputation, he was not favored by His Majesty. Regardless of whether it was easy to save or not, Li Ke would not be a part of him.
He was so superior that he made King Li Tai of Wei a target and became the target of public criticism. There were some who agreed with him and some who opposed him. There was a stalemate, and His Majesty did not want to be arbitrary in the world.
At this time, if Li Ke, the king of Shu, was brought out, no matter which side, there would be something to avoid.
If you agree with the King of Wei to patrol Guanzhong on behalf of the crown prince, you must also agree with the King of Shu. If you don't agree with the King of Shu to patrol Guanzhong, then don't agree with the King of Wei, otherwise it will be unfair and put the King of Wei at the forefront.
It worked, and Li Ke, the king of Shu, who had no hope of gaining popularity, got an opportunity out of thin air that he didn't have at all.
No, there was nothing wrong with Li Ke, the king of Shu, so naturally there was no loss at all.
The courtiers suddenly discovered that Cen Wenwen was selling this medicine in his gourd.
He is really cunning and cunning, he has gone around in a big circle, but the key is that it is really effective!
Agree or disagree, the King of Shu and the King of Wei have been tied together.
Either go together, or go back to the house to have the baby...
insidious!
At this point, the decision-making power rests only with the emperor.
But seeing His Majesty Li Er sitting on the throne, his face was cloudy and uncertain for a while. After a long while, he let out a long breath.
