Chapter 743 Talking about Wei Zheng
Morning the next day.
"Your Majesty, I will see you." All the ministers bowed and saluted, shouting in unison.
"Your honor is free." Li Shimin waved his sleeves and sat down.
"Do you have something to play?" Li Shimin asked.
Wang Yu, a member of the household department, came out and said, "I report to Your Majesty, I have a performance."
"allow!"
"Your Majesty, my father is old and suffering from long-term illness. I want to resign and go home to serve my father. I ask for your Majesty's permission." Wang Yu said.
Li Shimin said with some regret: "Wang Qing is an official and diligent, he is the pillar of the country, but filial piety is the way, I agree."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Yu thanked him and retreated.
Although Li Shimin approved it, it was not difficult for him to leave before the handover.
"Your Majesty, my minister..."
"His Majesty……"
After Wang Yu, more than a dozen officials from the six ministries came forward to resign.
He gave various reasons, but no matter what the reason, Li Shimin agreed.
Those who can participate in the early court are at least fifth-rank officials, and those who can get to this stage are all human beings, so they can naturally sense that this matter is a bit unusual.
It is not uncommon for officials to resign. Take Fang Xuanling as an example, he has resigned many times.
But more than a dozen people resigned at the same time like this, which has never happened. What is even more abnormal is that Li Shimin also agreed.
Moreover, these officials who resigned are all people with five natures and seven outlooks, which is a bit hard to think about.
Seeing this scene, Changsun Wuji understood that this should be the agreement reached between Li Shimin and the family.
Ever since Li Shimin let those scholars leave, Changsun Wuji guessed that Li Shimin had reached an agreement with the aristocratic family. He couldn't guess the specific inside information, but judging from the final result, it was obvious that Li Shimin had the upper hand.
There was a glimmer of gloom in Changsun Wuji's heart. After this incident, Li Shimin probably valued Lin Xuan more.
What Lin Xuan did was not to say that people like Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji were unexpected, but that doing so would undoubtedly offend the five surnames and seven Wangs to death.
That's why Changsun Wuji and the others didn't think about such a method, maybe they thought of it but they wouldn't say it.
Including Cheng Yaojin and others who are loyal to Li Shimin, they often offend the family because of Li Shimin's suppression of the family.
But seriously, Cheng Yaojin and the others are nothing more than scolding some members of the aristocratic family in the court hall, and usually keep a distance from the aristocratic family.
This is also the reason why the family will not provoke the lord.
But Lin Xuan is different. Ever since Lin Xuan took the lead, many of his actions have been aimed at the aristocratic family.
The result of this is that the relationship between Lin Xuan and the family will never be eased.
But there is also an advantage, Lin Xuan can win the trust of Li Shimin.
Because Lin Xuan did not have Li Shimin's protection, his end would be very miserable, that is to say, Lin Xuan became a real lonely minister.
A lonely minister like Lin Xuan is different from a lonely minister like Wei Zheng.
The outstanding civil servants and military generals in the early Tang Dynasty can be said to be full of talents, and there are countless.And among the many civil servants, there is the most special person, this person is Wei Zheng!Why is it special, it seems to be incompatible with other civil servants and generals!And everyone's first impression of him.It is estimated that he is upright and selfless, not afraid of the monarchy, a loyal minister who is completely upright!
In fact, Wei Zheng became a lone minister because he was an old minister of Li Jiancheng and he deliberately did it.
As an old minister of Li Jiancheng, he was doomed not to fit into the circle of Li Shimin's confidants.
In addition, Wei Zheng also understands the significance of Li Shimin leaving him.
Although Wei Zheng is talented, Li Shimin has a lot of talents under his command, not far behind Wei Zheng.
In fact, when people hear the name Wei Zheng, people's first impression is to remonstrate, and then it's gone.
Even Wei Zheng felt that he had no credit, and even asked Li Shimin to resign.
"Old Tang Book": Zheng Zi thought that he had made no contribution to the country, and was only arguing.
But Li Shimin was unwilling to let him go.
In fact, when Li Shimin stayed with Wei Zheng at the beginning, his intention was to go forward and buy a horse bone.
After all, as a prince, Li Jiancheng had many officials who took refuge in him.
After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, those people naturally worried that Li Shimin would settle accounts after the fall.
In order to stabilize people's hearts, Li Shimin deliberately reused Wei Zheng.
After all, when Wei Zheng was assisting Li Jiancheng, he suggested many times that Li Jiancheng should transfer Li Shimin out of Chang'an.
Li Shimin just wants to tell those officials that I can tolerate people like Wei Zheng who help Li Jiancheng deal with me, so you don't have to worry about it.
The benefits are obvious. Li Shimin's ability to stabilize the situation so quickly has a lot to do with reusing Wei Zheng.
It stands to reason that Wei Zheng has already achieved his role, and he likes to bully Li Shimin every day. He asked to resign himself, and Li Shimin naturally agreed with the situation.
However, Li Shimin discovered another role of Wei Zheng.
That is, the more Wei Zheng hates him, the more magnanimous he is, the higher the public's evaluation of him will be.
In Li Shimin's view, Wei Zheng is completely a tool for him to increase his reputation, so he is naturally reluctant to let him go.
This is also the reason why Wei Zheng has pissed off Li Shimin many times, and Li Shimin can bear it.
Many people think that it was Empress Changsun's persuasion. In fact, although Empress Changsun's persuasion had some reasons, there may not be no reason why Li Shimin borrowed a donkey to go downhill.
The result of this is that Li Shimin has the reputation of loving talents, Wei Zheng has the reputation of being a mirror, and Empress Changsun is called the empress of the ages, and everyone is happy.
These are not nonsense, Wei Zheng gives people the impression that he is upright, but in fact, Wei Zheng is not as honest as everyone imagined.
[-]. When Li Jiancheng was under Li Jiancheng, when he saw Li Erping Dou Jiande, his credit was getting bigger and bigger, so he instigated Li Jiancheng to grab the credit!A smart person like Li Jiancheng didn't expect such a thing, but an upright and selfless person did!
[-]. Bao relatives were reported!Although there was no evidence later, there is no such thing as a storm!And Li Er asked him to pay attention to his behavior, next time he shouldn't be so unclear and get involved in bad things.On the contrary, he said that Li Er paid too much attention to his behavior, which is not a good thing!Look, arrogant no!
[-]. Hou Junji was recommended by him. Later, the prince fell out of favor, so Li Er asked him to be the prince's teacher!To show that the prince is still favored.But he couldn't live or die.He probably knew to some extent that Hou Junji was about to rebel, so he was unwilling to take this trip back!Li Er said, if you are sick, you can lie on the bed and teach the prince.It is estimated that he has been classified as a princeling long ago.Although I don't know if it's true, but he refuses to be the prince's teacher, which shows that he also has a little girl in his heart!
Wei Zheng is not always a straight-faced man who offends his face and remonstrates, he can also flatter him!
Li Er asked Wei Zheng once, saying that every time you tell me something, you have to agree to it in person, and you can't talk about it after you go down!Wei Zheng said flatteringly, because Emperor Shun, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, asked the ministers to do this!So, I don't want to do this!Doesn't that mean that the emperor is different from Yao and Shun!
Then, Li Er was very useful and said happily, others said that you are not gregarious and have low EQ, I think you are very cute!
Wei Zheng flattered him again and said, "Your Majesty asked me to admonish you for this."If you don't let me, how dare I! ...
Based on the appeal, the image of Wei Zheng as a lonely minister is due to his background and the image he can create.
