Courtesy had always been one of the principles of Li Er's administration. This fellow wanted to be a wise ruler all day long.
A wise ruler is loved by the people and supported by the ministers. His name will be recorded in history books for thousands of years.
This was Li Er's dream of becoming an emperor. After all, he had an indelible black spot on his body. He could not tolerate other black spots appearing on his body.
According to historical records, the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty was the era when the harmony between the monarch and his subjects reached an unprecedented peak.
Throughout the five thousand years, no dynasty could do better than Li Er.
This fellow's tolerance towards his subjects and his ability to accept remonstrance had left his name in history. Later on, countless powerful officials had used this fellow as an example to advise the emperor.
However, there was no one like Li Er who could become the emperor and be flexible.
When Qin Feng saw that Li Er had actually bowed down to The Saint to grind ink for him, he was also quite surprised in his heart. This fellow was indeed strange.
Fang Xuanling was even more stunned. His heart was in turmoil as he looked at Qin Feng with even more shock.
He had never enjoyed such an honor before.
He had received a lot of divine grace!
Fang Xuanling sighed heavily in his heart. He had to befriend Qin Feng. It was too rare for Li Er to skip his official position and be conferred a title!
Even though people like the Duke or the royal family had the chance to be conferred a title of nobility.
However, these people had inherited their ancestors 'influence. They either inherited the title of nobility or had a noble background.
Qin Feng was just a commoner, and just this alone made him the number one figure in the history of the Great Tang.
After a while, Qin Feng wrote a huge piece of paper. There was the method of digging locusts, the method of frying, and so on, as well as the understanding of the Universe Token that he had mentioned before.
The theme was very simple. The people were the most important, and the officials were the least important. This was the same as Li Er's idea of putting the people first, the country second, and the monarch second.
If it was another dynasty, perhaps Qin Feng wouldn't dare to say such words. Asking the people to control the officials and supervise them was a great crime.
However, Li Er could do it. He was always clamoring about putting the people first.
"Phew…Good insight, good idea, great!!”
Li Er took a rough look and praised him. He immediately said,
"There are some carriages that I brought along at the entrance. Young Master Qin placed the sweet potatoes in them, so I'll go back first.”
"Right, Old Master Li still owes me three conditions. I will remember this and think about it in the future.”
Qin Feng suddenly thought of something. He quickly grabbed a pen and wrote on another piece of paper, asking him to sign it so that he wouldn't regret it later.
Although the king was not joking, who knew?
This idiot didn't play by the rules. He had to leave some evidence.
"You!"
Li Er didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought for a while and wrote down the name of the richest man in Chang 'an, Old Master Li. Qin Feng didn't point it out and secretly scolded this guy for being shameless.
Immediately, Li Er returned to Chang 'an City with his two lackeys.
Of course, before he left, he didn't forget to ask Qin Feng for a few pieces of soap. He was prepared to go back and coax Empress Zhangsun.
……
Chang 'an City, Xuanzhen Hall. Li Er and Fang Xuanling discussed the plan written by Qin Feng for a long time.
"Your Majesty, this matter is probably not easy to pass. Since ancient times, there has never been a matter of using the people to carry out the supervisory function.”
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but say. Qin Feng's plan was indeed brilliant, but it was also somewhat unrealistic.
After all, in this era, the officials of the aristocratic families had a high status and were monitored by the people?
The officials would definitely object!
Once personal interests were harmed, who would give up easily? This was also what Li Er was worried about.
That bunch of civil officials and teachers were very good at talking. When the time came, they would definitely scold him in the imperial court.
If there was no convincing reason, it would probably not be easy to carry it out. This was the trouble of those in power.
It seemed like the Nine Five Supreme and supreme, but in reality, it was still dependent on the expressions of the officials.
Otherwise, those civil officials would point their fingers at him and berate him, especially those upright historians. They would definitely record their names in the history books.
One day in the tenth year of Zhenguan, Li Er changed the law without authorization at the court meeting. The ministers tried their best to remonstrate, and only then did they realize something.
That would be embarrassing. He, Li Er, cared so much about his face. How could he be slandered like this?
This kind of thing happened quite often. Previously, when Li Er wanted to spend money to build a manor for a vacation, he was ridiculed by Wei Zheng for being extravagant.
In the end, he could only endure his anger and put this matter aside. The most hateful thing was that the historian even recorded this matter and praised Wei Zheng for his courage to remonstrate.
Li Er was so angry that he couldn't eat for a few days. Those civil officials and teachers were all hotheaded and risked their lives for invitations.
"Got it. The yamen couldn't find any traces of the stolen cattle, but if the commoners acted, it would probably be much faster.”
Fang Xuanling's eyes suddenly lit up. Li Er asked,"
"What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, the theft of the cattle must have alarmed the people. I guess some of the people might know the clues.”
"It's just that I'm panicking and causing trouble for myself, so I don't dare to say it. If I promise it with benefits, I'll definitely have clues!”
Fang Xuanling smiled and said,"
"If we can use this to show the use of the people's supervision, Your Majesty will have a reason to implement this policy to shut up the mouths of the officials!”
"Wonderful!"
Li Er clapped his hands excitedly when he heard that and immediately said,
"This plan is wonderful. Xuanling, quickly do it. You must let the people come out and point out the thief!”
"Your Majesty, leave this to me. I will go to the villages and ask.”
Cheng Yaojin, who was standing at the side, said loudly. This guy still didn't know that it was his son's doing and wanted to make a contribution.
He wondered how Cheng Yaojin would feel when he found out the truth.
Li Er nodded in satisfaction.
"Good, I will send a hundred imperial guards with you to travel in plain clothes. Remember not to scare the people and deal with them properly!”
"Since that's the case, Xuanling, help me draft this order. I will discuss it in the court tomorrow!”
"Yes!"
The two of them accepted the order and left. Li Er was in a good mood at the moment. After thinking for a while, he took the soap and rushed to the side hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Ever since Princess Changle left home, Empress Zhangsun had been locked up here and refused to come out. Li Er came over with soap and handed it to the palace maid to send into the palace.
After a long while, this fellow entered quietly. When he saw Empress Zhangsun embroidering a handkerchief, he couldn't help but cough dryly.
Empress Zhangsun came back to her senses and bowed slightly."
"Your Majesty has always been busy with state affairs. Why did you ignore them and come here?”
Li Er's face twitched, and he said,"
"Zhen's official business today has been completed and I have nothing to do. It just so happens that Zhen hasn't had dinner yet.”
This fellow was trying to curry favor with Empress Zhangsun by eating.
"ChenQie has been fasting recently. I'm afraid Your Majesty has come to the wrong place.”
Empress Zhangsun spoke indifferently. Li Er frowned and said,"
"Nonsense, Guanyin's body has never been good, how can she stop eating? I order you to eat immediately. Men, send some sweet potatoes and corn over!”
Empress Zhangsun ignored him and said indifferently,"
"Did Lizhi return to the palace?"
Li Er was embarrassed." I have ordered a thousand soldiers to search for it. Goddess of Mercy, don't worry. We will find it soon!"”
"Your beauty has not returned. ChenQie has sinned greatly. How can I eat? Your Majesty, please go back!”
After saying that, Empress Zhangsun stormed into the inner room and slammed the door, leaving Li Er with a dumbfounded expression.
"Sigh…"
Li Er returned to the Dew Palace in distress. Since Princess Changle did not return, Empress Zhangsun would ignore him.
What should he do?
"Where is the auxiliary unit? Why haven't I seen him deliver the memorial today?”
Li Er thought of the considerate little cotton-padded jacket. Perhaps it would be a good idea to let his brother-in-law persuade his eldest grandson. Chamberlain Chen quickly said.
"Your Majesty, Duke Zhao is seriously ill and will not be able to attend court tomorrow.”
"Huh?"
Li Er was dumbfounded. Zhangsun Wuji was seriously ill? Wasn't he still alive and kicking yesterday?
