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

Chapter 115 Salted Fish, Continue to Salted Fish

Except for the battle with the gentry.

There is another focus of Chang Chao's debate this time, and that is the topic of Lingyan Pavilion.

An attic was built at the northeast corner of Daxing Hall.

The purpose of Li Shimin's construction of this building is to record the portraits of the founding heroes in the cabinet, and to remember the heroes who fought together in the past.

Now, the building is almost done.

Li Shimin is now thinking about how many people to draw and which heroes to put in Lingyan Pavilion.

Li Zhi didn't have much interest in this matter, so he became his own salted fish as always.

As for the civil and military officials in the court, there are still some disputes about this.

It's just that compared to the sharp class conflicts, it seems less intense.

After talking for about half an hour, maybe Li Shimin also felt tired, so he called everyone to dismiss the court meeting.

Li Zhi had grown impatient for a long time, and was about to leave as soon as he heard it was over.

But before he turned around, Li Shimin's voice came over.

"Censor Zhongcheng stays here, I have something to tell you."

Li Zhi:? ? ?
I'm just a little transparent, are you really following me?
Li Zhi stopped and waited helplessly.

The other ministers glanced at the emperor unexpectedly, and turned to leave one after another.

When Yang Shidao, Changsun Wuji and others passed by Li Zhi, they smiled at him to show their friendship.

Li Zhi had no choice but to smile, and appreciated the kindness of these people.

Perhaps in their view, they should stand on the same ground as them.

If this is the case, I am afraid that this matter is a big misunderstanding.

While bored, he inadvertently noticed the stinky faces of Du Chuke, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Yan Xiangshi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Li Zhi suddenly had the idea of ​​wanting to smile bitterly.

Ma Dan, I really joined the team inadvertently, this is really... quite unlucky.

Du Chuke is Du Ruhui's younger brother.

In other words, he is a member of the Jingzhao Du family.

And Yan Xiangshi is from Langya's aristocratic family, and both of them are from noble families with upright Miaohong roots.

Obviously, they have regarded themselves as enemies on the spot.

It's really a disaster.

Before they knew it, everyone left the court.

Li Zhi was still thinking wildly, when he heard Li Shimin's voice.

"Come on, Xiao Jiu, stand closer, don't be dazed there."

Hearing this, Li Zhi woke up from his contemplation, and walked to the front of the dragon chair.

As soon as he came over, he heard Li Shimin say with a half-smile: "Now, it's as you wished?"

Li Zhi cried and laughed, and said helplessly: "Father, my son really didn't mean that, you should have seen it, my son never thought of joining the court struggle, how can you say that I did what I wanted? Isn't it unfair?"

What Li Shimin was talking about was fighting against the gentry.

This matter is true, the idea is that he made the right mistake.

But he really had no intention of manipulating the Tang dynasty.

Li Shimin more or less understood what Li Zhi was worried about, and said with relief: "I know what you think, you want to avoid suspicion, and you are afraid that you will be separated from me."

"I was too sensitive a few days ago. I never thought that what I said would have such a big impact on you."

"It's my fault, Xiao Jiu, you don't have to do this, you should have more confidence in me."

"I've figured it out, I misunderstood you."

"I don't want this to affect your plan, I hope you can be more active."

Li Zhi was afraid of causing misunderstanding, so he didn't want to interfere in the government affairs of the court, and tried his best to avoid getting involved with the government.

These are all things that are on the bright side, and everyone can see it.

Li Shimin knew where his knot was.

He has done bad things and has ghosts in his heart, so he is suspicious.

After discovering his own problem, Li Shimin wanted to have a frank and honest talk with Li Zhi.

Li Zhi is willing to back down, which is definitely a good thing.

In contrast, he, the royal father, was a little too cautious, and had undue suspicion.

He wanted to ask Li Zhi to resolve this misunderstanding, so as not to hurt the father-son relationship between the two.

In this regard, Li Zhi was both moved and helpless.

"Father, what you said is one aspect."

"But in fact, if Erchen really wants to do it freely, he will still face many obstacles."

"So for the son-in-law, it is the best choice not to express opinions easily in the government."

"I think you should be able to understand the situation of the son."

"Father, you don't need to persuade me about this matter."

"You can understand and are willing to put down your dignity and talk to me. I will be satisfied."

"As for the others, Erchen is not in a hurry, and you don't need to feel guilty about it."

One has one's own thoughts.

Wanting father and son to be of one mind is not as easy as imagined.

What Li Zhi really wants, in Li Shimin's view, must be the result of a big treason.

It's better to continue to lie dormant, and start to do it after you take the position.

At that time, there will be no resistance from above, which is still very important to Li Zhi.

After all, when Li Shimin was in power, it was his father who had the final say.

When the two sides clashed, Li Zhi really didn't have the confidence to overwhelm Li Shimin.

Of course, he didn't have that need to confront Li Shimin, it's fine now.

When Li Zhi spoke, Li Shimin listened patiently.

After listening, the emperor fell into silence.

Listening to Li Zhi's words, it is obvious that there is a conflict with his philosophy of governing the country.

This is even more difficult to reconcile than a conflict of positions, and it is an incompatible relationship.

It's hard for Li Shimin to imagine what Li Zhi really thinks, what exactly is it?
Ultimately, he asked a very broad question.

"If you were to be the emperor, which goal would you work towards?"

Li Zhi was not surprised by this, and he replied very frankly: "The purpose of my son is only one, and that is Li Tang, Jiangshan, and longevity."

"Oh..." Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully.

After a moment of silence, he looked at Li Zhi and waved his hand: "Okay, since you don't want to stand out, then it's up to you, and I won't force you, just do it according to your own ideas."

"Then Chang Chao...?" Li Zhi asked tentatively, with hope shining in his eyes.

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing out loud, and scolded: "It must be done! There is no negotiation!"

"Okay!"

Li Zhi's shoulders drooped, and he sighed weakly.

Originally, he wanted to be lazy, but his intention was discovered by someone.

It's okay, isn't it just to participate in more court meetings.

Just a few days early in a month, no big deal.

He saluted Li Shimin very perfunctorily, and Li Zhi walked slowly towards the entrance of Daxing Hall.

Li Shimin looked at his back and couldn't help but cursed with a smile: "Stinky boy!"
