Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 7 Reopening the Tiance Mansion

Seeing the bewildered expressions of his confidantes whom he has always relied on, Li Shimin was very angry.

Is it because you are used to living a comfortable life and you are slacking off?
This time, thanks to being able to hear Li Fu's slander, I knew about the snow disaster in the North and the severe drought in Qinzhou.

Otherwise, not only would he make a big joke, but the disaster in Qinzhou would become even more serious.

At the same time, I will also misjudge the situation in Tubo and make peace with him.

Thinking of Li Fu's slander against him, Li Shimin hated him so much.

And Fang Xuanling, as the head of all the officials, should be blamed for the fact that the people below actually cheated his superiors and concealed it!

Noticing Li Shimin's unfriendly eyes, Fang Xuanling hurried forward and cupped his hands:

"Your Majesty, your majesty is not strict, and I am ashamed to be the prime minister on the left. If you fail to relieve your majesty's worries, please be punished by your majesty!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly, and thought to himself, if it wasn't for Li Fu, who was all over the court this time, even himself would lose the hearts of the people.

But now is not the time to settle accounts after autumn.

"Fang Qing immediately started to deal with the disaster situation. Together with the six ministers, we must properly resettle the victims!"

"As for the Tubo marriage, let's leave it at that."

There was a severe drought in Qinzhou, as well as in Chang'an. Obviously, this year's drought was far worse than we knew, and it must be dealt with properly.

It is obvious that Tubo's marriage proposal has bad intentions, so it is natural to refuse it.

"I obey the order!" Fang Xuanling hastily clapped his hands and agreed.

"Zhao Guogong, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, you should personally investigate the matter of Qinzhou this time. All those who corrupt the law will be killed without pardon!"

"Minister, take the decree!" Changsun Wuji's heart shuddered, knowing that Li Shimin was really angry, he quickly agreed.

The matter in the west and north came to an end, and Li Shimin finally sat back on the dragon chair.

But Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji finally remembered the main purpose of their visit today.

Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and stepped forward, "Your Majesty, minister Shenzuo, Zhao Wang Li Fu, it is a crime to deceive the king!"

My brother-in-law actually wants to join his nephew!Li Shimin narrowed his eyes.

If it wasn't for Li Fu this time, the people of Tang Dynasty would definitely be in dire straits.

Such a virtuous son of himself, his vassal, and a close relative, actually wants to play him!
Li Shimin's anger welled up, but he didn't attack, and put on a posture of listening.

Seeing that Li Shimin didn't speak, Changsun Wuji thought that Enzhun himself was admonishing him, so he immediately continued:

"Your Majesty, since King Li Fu of Zhao took charge of the Ministry of War, he has not gone to the Ministry of War to handle official business for ten days."

"Old ministers have found out that King Zhao Li Fu has been living happily in his mansion these days. He is so naughty and naughty. How can your majesty entrust him with the important weapons of the country?"

As soon as Changsun Wuji said this, Fang Xuanling immediately expressed his position, "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Ministry of War, if you don't go to the Ministry of War in the morning for ten days, you will not go to the Ministry of War for ten days. This is dereliction of duty!"

"I think that Zhao Wang Li Fu's actions are absurd and cannot match the position of the Ministry of War. I beg Your Majesty to remove him from his position!"

Li Shimin looked at his two ministers indifferently, accusing Li Fu.

If he hadn't heard Li Fu's slander, this incident would never have happened.

But Li Shimin not only heard it, but also knew that his son who "acted absurdly" was definitely not as mediocre as he showed now.

Based on the snowstorm in the north and the severe drought in Qinzhou, if it weren't for Li Fu.

Li Shimin is about to be sold to fame by An, and Datang will use the blood and sweat of the people to feed the jackal of Qi Libi.

The entire Tang Dynasty will be deceived by the officials below, led by the nose by Tubo, and even shamefully restart the kinship policy.

But besides focusing on the trivial matters in front of them, can my subordinates do something practical?

It has been a long time since the concerted efforts at the beginning of Zhenguan, and my ministers are really slack.

Have they all slacked off?

Li Shimin stood up abruptly, looked at the officials under the steps, and shouted decisively: "I want to reopen the Tiance Mansion!"

There was a real thunderclap, which made all the officials under the jade steps feel anxious and tender, and they all looked at Li Shimin in disbelief.

Tiance Mansion was the official residence built by Li Shimin when he was still the King of Qin, and he was awarded the title of General Tiance because of his outstanding military exploits. It was also one of the landmark events that Li Shimin later became emperor.

Tiance Mansion ranked first among military officials at that time, above the Fourteen Guards, second only to the Third Division, able to recruit talents on their own to serve as officials in the Tiance Mansion, with great effort.

After Li Shimin proclaimed himself emperor, the Tiance Mansion had already been abolished, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin would bring up the old story again at this time.

The officials couldn't think of Li Shimin's purpose of restarting Tiance Mansion, and they all quietly waited for Li Shimin's next words.

"I want to bestow Li Fu, King of Zhao, as the general of Tiance, to live in the Tiance Mansion, and to exercise the right to open the mansion!"

boom--

It was really a bolt from the blue, Li Shimin's will this time, completely blinded all the officials present.

Even though they were still impeaching Li Fu just now, the next moment Li Shimin actually wanted to canonize Li Fu as Tiance Admiral and move into Tiance Mansion, what this means is self-evident.

Where is Tiance Mansion, and what is Li Fu's identity?
He is now in charge of the Ministry of War, and if he wants to be in charge of Tiance Mansion, then the prince...

Changsun Wuji took three steps at a time and knelt down directly in front of Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, I will give you my advice..."

"The King of Zhao, Li Fu, has little talent and learning. Since he was canonized as king, he has never seen any achievements. His Majesty's move is really puzzling!"

"Your Majesty, as an official, you must give full play to your talents, but Zhao Wang Li Fu, literature cannot rejuvenate the country, and martial arts cannot expand the territory."

"Even the six arts of a gentleman have no achievements. They only know how to drink and have fun all day long, wasting their time."

"Military Department, Tiance Mansion, what an important place, how can His Majesty entrust it to this person?"

"Your Majesty, are you really..."

"How about me? Are you old and confused?" Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji who was hesitating to speak with a half-smile.

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty's move is really ridiculous. Once this decree is promulgated, it will definitely chill the hearts of all the ministers!"

When the ministers heard the words, there was an uproar, Changsun Wuji was really admonishing him!

Can say such things, dare to call Li Shimin stupid, is this the appearance of a courtier?
But Li Shimin suddenly burst out laughing and thought in his heart:

You call me absurd and stupid, but I want to laugh at you for losing the aggressiveness you used to have, and all of you only care about the immediate interests, regardless of the community and the people!
In the end, you are still too narrow-minded, that is to say, I moved the heavens, and let the heavens make me hear Li Fu's heartfelt voice.

Otherwise, how can we solve the immediate crisis?
Li Shimin is now certain that hearing Li Fu's heartfelt voice is a blessing from heaven, and it is also a warning from heaven.

As for Li Fu, Li Shimin naturally valued him very much, even if his slander was too much and outrageous.

But precisely because of this, he had to put more burdens on him and give him more power.

It's just that it is absolutely impossible for Li Shimin to tell anyone that he can hear Li Fu's inner voice.

As for the attitude of the ministers in front of him...
