Chapter 359 Taizong Zhenzong
As soon as Li Ang said, it immediately aroused the fear of Zhenzong!
But that's right. After all, he is an emperor. Even if his behavior is inappropriate, he cannot be considered a wise ruler. But after all, Zhenzong is still the magnificent emperor, and he has a natural vigilance for power.
Therefore, after hearing Li Ang's heart-killing words, it no longer matters what Zhenzong thought. In order to maintain the majesty of the emperor, he must suppress the ministers and let them know what the monarch is.
But at this moment, the right prime minister Xiao Zheyue did not change his color at all, and still spoke in justice and fairness, saying that Zhenzong's actions were absurd and incompatible with etiquette.
Of course, Xiao Zheyue's move was not to be invincible, but to have his own persistence!
In Xiao Zheyue's philosophy, his actions were not out of selfishness, and wanted to take revenge on his own, but rather that he purely hoped to use this to establish a bottom line for the kings of future generations - the emperor cannot act rashly!
After all, the two monarchs before Zhenzong, one was the founding Taizu and the other was the Shengming Taizong. Both were talented and wise, and their civil and military achievements were extremely outstanding. The ministers and officials were not restricted at all.
However, Zhenzong is not capable and has a very indecisive temperament, but it is just a benchmark for rules. Therefore, the right prime minister Xiao Zheyue was so aware of it, trying to establish rules with the general trend and establish rules in order to determine the principles of the future kings.
Unfortunately, Xiao Zheyue guessed the nature of Zhenzong, but ignored Li Ang's existence.
Although Zhenzong was unpredictable because of the right prime minister's attitude, the words of the left prime minister Li Ang could make him firm in his mind.
The nature of Zhenzong is a bit vague. He cannot say that he has a wise ruler, but he cannot directly describe him as a tyrant or a fool. Of course, some of his actions are indeed difficult to describe.
In fact, in the early years, Zhenzong was of some standard. Although he was not as talented as his father and ancestors, he could still be called a wise man. Otherwise, he would not have been recognized by Taizong and could inherit the Grand Principality.
However, perhaps because he lived too much in front of Taizong, after Zhenzong ascended the throne, he quickly rebounded, directly exposing his most evil side - his desire for enjoyment and ignoring the sufferings of the people in the world!
However, because of the accumulation of Taizong's dynasty, if Zhenzong did not do anything, there would be no major changes in his dynasty. It is very likely that he would pass through it smoothly and then pass it to Renzong's hands.
After all, among the descendants of Zhenzong, Renzong was the leader in terms of status and ability. If he could not succeed to the throne, it would be obviously impossible.
When Taizong was alive, he could see through the nature of Zhenzong and knew that he was not a wise lord. However, among the princes under Taizong's knees, Zhenzong was the most suitable one.
After all, the intelligent prince was not only not old enough, but also had insufficient status, and could not suppress his brothers or even court officials. More importantly, Zhenzong occupied the great righteousness and was the legitimate son of Taizong, who was born by the empress of the current dynasty.
Therefore, when Emperor Taizong was dying, he deliberately left three auxiliary ministers in the court for the command of Emperor Zhenzong, namely the right prime minister Xiao Zheyue, the old British duke Zhang Ji, and the Zong Zheng Hong Yue.
These three auxiliary ministers not only wanted to assist Zhenzong in the dynasty, but also wanted to ensure that Zhenzong did not make mistakes. In Taizong's expectation, Xiao Zheyue was responsible for handling people's livelihood and government affairs, while Zhang Ji was responsible for military preparations. Among the three, the important task of strictly watching Zhenzong was to fall into the hands of Zong Zheng Hong Yue, who was originally a member of the royal family.
However, because Lao Zongzheng was an old man during the Taizu period, although he failed to catch up with the wars at the beginning of the founding of the country, he made great achievements during the Taizong dynasty and did many great things that benefit the country and the people. It is precisely because of this that Lao Zongzheng was able to win the trust of Taizong and entrusted Zhenzong to him on the occasion of his death.
After all, among these three auxiliary ministers, the one who can truly discipline Zhenzong is Lao Zongzheng.
Because the Laozong was originally an elder of Zhenzong and was also an auxiliary minister appointed by Taizong, he was legitimate in his opinion and in terms of etiquette and law.
Unfortunately, Taizong did not expect that the old Zongzheng, who had always been energetic and strong, would have been infected with the cold in the six months after he left, and then fell into the nine springs with him.
Even not only the old zongzheng, but also the old British duke Zhang Ji continued to get sick in the next three years, and sometimes he could not take care of the court. Therefore, Zhenzong finally let himself go and became an increasingly muddy emperor.
Back to the topic, with the support of the Left Prime Minister, Zhenzong naturally strengthened his ideas again and insisted on invading Beiliang in person, so that he could make unparalleled achievements in the future so that he could hold his head up to meet his father and grandfather.
Therefore, under Li Ang's plan, Zhenzong was furious at that court meeting and directly made a tough decision to personally enlist the imperial army in the court. In the end, Zhenzong was not satisfied and directly ordered Xiao Zheyue to escape without losing his life. He fined him his salary for one year to serve as a warning to others!
Although the salary was no longer considered a big deal when he reached the right prime minister, the impact of this action was far-reaching.
Because the emergence of this result proves Li Anna's victory.
Originally, although the left and right prime ministers had the advantage in the court, the gap between the two was not big. After all, Zhenzong was not a fool, and his imperial skills were also taught by Taizong. Although he was content with enjoyment and ignored the government affairs, he would not completely delegate power to the left prime minister. There must be an existence in the court that would compete with the left prime minister, and the right prime minister Xiao Zheyue was the pawn he chose.
It has to be said that in terms of changing people's hearts, Li Ang's attainments are much higher than Xiao Zheyue's!
However, it is not certain that, after all, both are the few smart people in the world. Xiao Zheyue was just unwilling to bend down and lost his persistence. However, Li Ang didn't care about these things, and even he was willing to bow down and do some embarrassing things.
As long as he can achieve his goal!
This is why Lord Shen likes Sheng Changquan so much - "This kid's personality is simply a copy of Li Ang."
Lord Shen investigated Sheng Changquan, so he naturally knew that most of the things he had experienced since he was a child. Even the tricks that Sheng Changquan kept making himself famous after taking the scientific examination were seen by him.
Originally, these were nothing but some talent and little wits. However, what made Lord Shen look most highly at the top was that when he was in his six-year glory, he actually chose to study abroad for six years.
What shocked Master Shen the most was that there were many gaps in Sheng Changquan’s six years, and even Lord Shen failed to investigate these gaps clearly!
This really shocked him!
