After Cui Keli stepped down, Li Yan continued to deal with the memorial after the royal case. Li Zhen was not given an order and could only lie on his back in the hall. It was never until dusk that Li Yan did not leave his seat, and Li Zhen never moved.

When the last sunset moved from the square in front of the palace to the palace wall, Li Zheng stood up. When passing by Li Zhen, he indifferently ordered the other party to stand up and follow. He came outside the hall, stepped down the jade steps, and went straight all the way to the imperial city tower.

The city walls of the imperial city are very high. Looking south from here, most of the Chang'an city can be seen. At the beginning of the Chinese lantern festival, the streets were full of silhouetted people. There is no curfew in Chang'an City right now, and the bustling city can last until late at night.

The night breeze, Li Li, standing against his hand, curled his hair lightly, and the killing color on his face slowly dissipated, replaced by a bit of remembrance: "I just met the Lord, and when I was in charge of the An's palace, I met you at the wind and rain bridge. . At that time, my uncle had no power in his hands and no one beside him, but he had to face the hostility of the traitors, which was a real adversity.

"Since then, you have been with your uncle, and you have done many good things for him to take care of the palace. Then you unearthed Zhenping Lu, Pingding Quartet, and conquered frontiers. You have always been your uncle's humerus. On credit, You are called second in the civil service, and no one dares to call first. "

After Li Zhen stood side by side, Li Zhen looked down at his feet.

Upon hearing this, he looked up slightly, barely showing a smile, "When Feng Yuqiao encountered His Majesty, it was the minister who had no choice but to sleep on the street. Although he was impoverished at the time, the minister had a **** heart and wanted to serve the country and change The Great Tang slumped for the people ... to become a generation of good ministers, leaving the history of the name. "

Li Xun didn't look back, looking at the gradually bright lights of Chang'an City, his tone was gentle: "I always thought that you and Cui Keli would be your room and Du, and you have always done well. For this reason, I never did The reward to you. But I did not expect that those who had died for the people and shed blood on the state affairs ended up in the wealthy land! "

Li Zhen bowed his head silently.

After half a ring, seeing that Li Zhi didn't mean to continue speaking, Li Zhen bitterly said, "People with lofty ideals in this world are most worried about their home country when they are still in power. Once power is in their hands, facing Jinshan Yinshan How many people can change their minds? This is true of individuals, especially of groups.

"After all, people with lofty ideals in the world are the same, and so are the powerful people in the world. When the identity of aspiring people becomes a state power, the appearance will naturally change. This is a rule that no one can violate.

"The minister has worked hard, and the minister has made a lot of contributions to this country. The minister also likes to use this feat to talk about things ... but the fact is that history does not mean that the minister is now fallen. It is really fallen, and guilt cannot be concealed. "

Having said this, Li Zhen bowed down and worshiped, "Difficulties and hardships, the minister came over, the sword and the mountains, did not let the minister change his mind, and the minister once thought that nothing could change the minister in this world. But the minister now understands that change Human power and wealth are much stronger than hardships and hardships.

"The minister has the trust of His Majesty and is willing to bear the blame, please His Majesty to punish!"

Li Min did not respond to Li Zhen's request for punishment.

He was a man of two lives, and his experience was very comparable. A variety of insights made him have a deeper understanding of the world. He actually understands Li Zhen's experience, and he agrees with Li Zhen's assertion that a group of people changed.

But this does not mean that Li Yan can forgive Li Zhen.

Li Zhen is wrong, Li Yan can forgive

He was wrong, who can forgive him?

"Taizong said that the people are the water king and the boat, and the water can carry the boat, and it can overturn the boat, but I feel that it is more appropriate to replace the 'jun' in this sentence with the 'court'. I cut off the history of Kaifeng and dealt with households. You may think that I have done enough hard work, but I tell you that this can only calm the temporary anger of the people. It is not enough for the country to have peace and stability and no powers to invade the people's wealth.

"Prices have risen sharply, and people can't live on. Even if the Tang Dynasty establishes many merits, it is still in the mirror. When the people's clothing, food, and shelter cannot be guaranteed, who can ask them to feel the glory of Datang?

"If it had been before, land mergers would also be merged. Although the people were grieving and unable to resist the government, the situation was not as serious as the dynasty's collapse for two or three hundred years.

"But nowadays, the Tang Dynasty is different. There are so many monks like bulls. The people have grasped the force in their hands and possessed the power to check and balance the court. If the court did not treat them as people, they would immediately stand up against it! The case of Kaifeng City is proof."

Having said that, Li Zhi's eyes gradually sharpened again. He looked back at Li Zhen. "If the people in this world are scholar cowards and have no power to bind chickens, even if they are dissatisfied, they will not dare to oppose the government. .

"But the Tang people are brave and brave, not such soft-footed shrimp! Practice is the same as a sharp weapon in their minds. With this sharp tool, when they encounter injustice and unfair treatment, they are easily drawn by the inspiration of blood. And now!

"You don't want to think about it, if the price rises and spreads across the country, what should you do once the people get up and work? He is also afraid, very scared! Because of this fear, I fear the people, because I fear the people, so I dare not let them Suffer injustice! "

Li Zhen looked up in shock and looked at Li Yan suddenly, saying neatly: "His Majesty Xiu is unparalleled, and His Majesty has an army of immortals. Why are people afraid of trouble? If there is a riot, the suppression is to kill a batch, and the rest are naturally afraid."

Li Yan sneered: "That kind of Tang Dynasty is still the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It can unify the world and let the four seas submit to it, Changan Wannian?"

Li Zhen's face paled and he opened his mouth several times. "Yes, Your Majesty, practicing meditation exercises so that the people can grasp the use of force is a national policy that His Majesty insists on. Now ... isn't it now ... . "

"Eat its own fruits?"

Li Zhen didn't dare to say yes, but that was what he meant.

Li Zheng looked at Li Zhen with two eyes and shook his head in disappointment. "Li Zhen, you don't understand at all. This is the result that He wants. Only when the people have the ability to restrict the emperor will the emperor fear the people. Only then can the people be harmed. Only when the court respects the people can the state policy and government benefit the people.

"This is a complete social contract.

"In such a dynasty, officials are officials who work for the benefit of the people, not high powers. In such a dynasty, people will naturally support the court. The two go hand in hand, and the dynasty can be truly strong and lasting. Be stronger. This will prevent the endless cycle of the country to change its dynasty every few hundred years.

"What you want is permanent prosperity of Datang. Do you really not understand this?"

Li Zhen stood on his knees dumbfounded, speechless.

Li Xun turned around and continued to face the Changan city well, watching his empire and his people quietly.

After all, his cultivation comes from the loyalty of the people. If the court loses the people's hearts and the people's luck is dissipated, his cultivation will cease to exist. By that time, he will

Nothing, it becomes a mustard.

For this reason, he had to think carefully about how to keep Datang strong, let the nobles regulate their behavior, and not squeeze and invade the wealth of the people, so that the world can get rid of the weirdness of the rich and the poor the poor. Real politics and harmony, prosperity.

Long Qi decided that Li Xun practiced Emperor Tao. Emperor Tao made him have to manage Datang.

The ancients said that governing the country first governs officials. As long as officials are disciplined, the world is naturally peaceful. The root cause is that power needs to be restrained. In Li Zhi's view, the governor cannot rely on the emperor, but on the people. Let the people have the power to restrain officials and the minds of supervisors.

That is to open up the wisdom of the people, and at the same time let the people have force. This is the foundation. With this foundation, subsequent superstructures—measures, laws, and institutions—will naturally take shape.

After standing for a while, Li Yan planned to return to the palace.

When he was about to turn around, he heard Li Zhen's sad cry: "Your Majesty, the incompetent and incompetent minister, poisoned the Tang Dynasty's Jiangshan Society, hindering His Majesty's affairs of the country, and his crime should be killed!"

The words came out loud, and a blast came, followed by a high-pitched, desolate cry: "Your Majesty, and Tang Dynasty!"

Li Min turned around and saw Li Zhen's hand pulled from the **** forehead, and the body fell to the ground softly.

On that day, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhen, committed himself in the imperial city tower. At this time, the head of Kaifeng Jishi still hung from the gate.

Staring at Li Zhen's unclosed corpse for a long time, Li Min squatted down, closed his eyes, and sighed, "Suppressing the power and establishing rules must be similar to the time of the founding of the country. Over time, the power of the power and wealth has grown, and the king If you want to change something, there is nothing you can do. So, you have to fight hard, and you must die. "

Standing up, Li Yan waved his hand to call the officials who recorded the note, and said to him: "Prime Minister Li Zhen, afraid of suicide, missed his many years of merit, so as not to linger."

...

In the autumn of nine years, the army of the Western Expedition triumphed.

Coupled with Tianzhu, who was conquered for seven years, the Tang dynasty has basically unified the world.

On the same day, Li Xun described the martial arts for the soldiers on the west side of the bridge. The crowds of people in Changan City were empty, and countless people went to the city to show their courtesy. Li Xuan captivated Shangguan as the King of Qi, admired the three armies, and when the order was issued, whether it was a general of the Western Expedition or the people of Chang'an, they all chanted for thousands of years and the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years.

"Datang is really going to last for ten thousand years!" Cui Keli, who is at the top of the hundred officials, felt the courage of Datang's military and bullfighting, and he was filled with emotion.

He knew the situation outside the sky, and personally handled the matter of Kaifeng. He knew exactly what it meant for Tang to unite the world under Li Yan.

When Li Xun's review of the Western Expeditionary Army was over, just as he was about to leave, the clear sky suddenly had clouds and thunder and lightning. In the blink of an eye, there are two huge whirlpools that are bottomless, like sky eyes appearing in the sky.

Xu Yan, in the eyes of Datang military and civilians looking up, two behemoths emerged from the vortex, as if jumping out of another space.

Those are two starships.

A ship that looks like a giant snake is engraved with two powerful characters: son-in-law!

Another ship is as towering as a city. There are also two white characters on the hull: Pangu!
