Datang: I am the prince of salted fish, I impeach Li Er at the beginning

Chapter 11 The Unique Thinking of Elderly Secondary Disease Patients
"Why, haven't you considered it yet?"

Li Shimin waited for a long time, seeing that Li Zhi was still immersed in thinking, and had no intention of speaking at all, so he couldn't help urging him.

Li Zhi frowned and glanced at his father.

"Father, please be safe and don't be impatient. This matter is of great importance. My son should think about it carefully."

How can it be so easy to shame the rich and powerful and not allow them to resist?
If you don't think about it carefully, if you think about it clearly, if something really happens at that time, it will be a mess.

Li Zhi is always cautious and will not speak easily if he cannot think of a permanent solution.

Hearing what he said, Li Shimin also realized that he was too anxious.

indeed.

It's not a good idea to flirt with aristocratic families. If you want them to suffer quietly, you have to think carefully.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin didn't urge him, and took this opportunity to test the knowledge of the prince and King Wei.

"Prince, I asked you to think carefully before, how to solve the problem raised by Xiao Jiu, have you thought it through clearly?"

Li Shimin asked Prince Li Chengqian, after thinking for so long, he should be able to sum up an answer, right?
Li Chengqian bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "I do have some ideas."

After being taught a lesson by Li Zhi, Li Chengqian more or less realized his mistake, and no longer used the cold word "Gu" to address himself, but used the word "Elder Minister" honestly as before.

However, it might be impossible for him to say the word "son".

The elderly patients in the second stage of middle school are not easy to mess with. You must know that this guy is an asshole who dares to show Li Shimin's face!

If Li Zhi hadn't come forward to ease the relationship between the two, Li Chengqian might have imitated his father this year and played a trick of forcing the palace and exiled himself to the border of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with the prince's attitude, nodded and said: "Prince, it's okay to say, all the people present are our own people, so there is no need to shy away from it."

Not always!
Li Chengqian's gaze swept over Li Tai vaguely, apparently he was still brooding over Li Tai's competition for the reserve with him.

"cough……"

He cleared his throat, looked away before being discovered, puffed out his chest and spoke loudly about his views on current affairs.

"The gentry are greedy, this is a drawback that has long been exposed."

"Now that the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment, even if the gentry want to cause disputes, they have no way to start."

"If father really wants to rectify the aristocratic family, why don't you take this opportunity to directly send troops to destroy it?"

"Clean up all the aristocratic families! Cut the weeds and root them out! Avoid endless troubles!"

While speaking, Li Chengqian nodded from time to time, obviously he was very satisfied with the strategy he had concluded.

But look at the reactions of Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji.

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief, they never expected that the crown prince would be so outrageous, and such a bad idea could come up with.

Seeing that the prince had finished delivering his high opinion, Li Shimin opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to reprimand him.

But when he thought about finally easing the tense relationship between father and son, if he really had to reprimand the prince in public, he would probably arouse his rebellious mood.

After hesitating for a while, Li Shimin finally decided to communicate with the prince in a softer way.

"I have to say that what you said, Prince, is indeed somewhat reasonable, but there is one thing I can't understand. If all the rich and powerful families in the world are killed, who will rule the world for the court?"

Li Chengqian's plan is indeed feasible, which is a fact that has to be admitted.

But the problem is that he is equivalent to killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating ten thousand tricks.

The imperial court needs a large number of talents to govern the whole world, and the gentry class has mastered at least [-]% of the talents in the world.

Once all the gentry classes are killed, there will basically be no officials in this world.

Think about how terrible the consequences are?
Even Li Chengqian's strategy can't be called killing the chicken and taking the eggs, it's stabbing his own heart with a knife.

It's a joy to kill, but what about after killing?
Are we done together?

This idea is simply outrageous!

Sure enough, after being reminded by Li Shimin, the prince instantly realized the problem.

For a while, Li Chengqian choked. He straightened his neck and said: "We still have the imperial examination system, which can be used to promote talents."

"So, who will teach those students? How long will it take to fill the vacancies left by the gentry and restore stability to the country?"

Li Shimin looked at the prince calmly, neither blaming him nor laughing at him.

Now, even if Li Chengqian wanted to make trouble unreasonably, he couldn't find an excuse.

His shoulders slumped, and he let out a weak breath.

"It's my son who didn't think carefully, thinking too superficially."

This is a typical example of him not thinking about the consequences, and only caring about how to kill the gentry class.

Clearing up the gentry class is not the goal, it is just a means to consolidate Li Tang's country.

Let the dynasty continue as much as possible, this is the ultimate goal!

It is not advisable to give up the basics and chase the end.

Seeing that Li Chengqian was willing to admit his mistakes, Li Shimin did not blame him too much, but comforted him softly.

"The prince is still very young and still needs to learn. In the future, he will learn more from the Eastern Palace scholars."

"My son, thank you for your father's instruction."

The prince saluted blankly, and he didn't know if he listened or not.

Seeing this, Li Shimin sighed secretly, and turned to look at Wei Wang Li Tai.

"What about you, King Wei? What do you think about this?"

Li Tai obviously didn't expect Li Shimin to ask his opinion, and he seemed flustered for a while.

Didn't he say that the throne has nothing to do with him?
What's the point of asking this now?
Li Tai calmed down his panic, thought for a moment, and soon came up with a good idea.

"If the royal father is willing to let go of his dignity, why not send spies to spread rumors and speak bad things about Cui."

"If things go well, Qinghe Cui's reputation accumulated over the years can be solved."

Spread the word?

Talking bad about people behind their backs?
What about this bad idea?

Li Chengqian was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Such a villain's attitude, wouldn't it make people laugh when you say it? Fourth brother, fourth brother, you claim to be smart, how could you come up with such a crude plan?"

He thought that his words would be recognized by his father, and Li Tai would be ridiculed by everyone.

It's just... After waiting for a long time, he didn't hear Li Shimin's laughter.

what happened?

Li Chengqian hurriedly looked at Li Shimin.

Then, he saw the emperor and the eldest grandson Wuji beside the emperor showed thoughtful expressions.

Could it be that these two really think this bad idea is feasible?
Just when Li Chengqian was in shock and doubt, a childish voice came over.

"The feasibility of this strategy is very high, but it is a shady method after all."

"Once someone exposes it, the blow to our royal family's reputation will be too great and it is not advisable."
