At the second update, the lights in Liangyi Hall were still brightly lit.

Li Zhi leaned leaning against the low couch. The Liangyi Hall is not as good as the Tai Chi Hall. There are a few people sitting here. The left one is Changsun Wuji, the right one is Yu Zhining, and there are also five people, Chu Suiliang, Cheng Yaojin, Lai Ji, Han Yuan, and Changsun Chong.

If a bomb is thrown here, the Tang Dynasty would have to collapse halfway.

But the atmosphere seemed a little quiet, no one spoke, and seemed to be waiting for something.

After a while, the Young Master Zhang walked in and bent slightly, "Your Majesty, I'm here."

Li Zhi sat upright and said, "Let him come in."

"yes."

After a while, Han Yi walked in and saluted: "I'm going to see Your Majesty."

"No gift."

Li Zhi supported his arm on the low table in front of him and said, "Han Yi, I heard from the secretary in front of me that you suggested that he set up a new government office to maintain public security inside and outside Chang'an City. I wonder if this is the case?"

Han Yi said: "I did tell my husband about this matter with my son-in-law."

Li Zhi said: "I want to hear your thoughts with my own ears."

"Affect the order."

Han Yi bowed and said, "From the late Zhenguan period to the present, the national strength of our Tang Dynasty has risen rapidly. In addition to the civil and military achievements of Your Majesty and the efforts of all the ministers, it should also be attributed to the stability of the country. If there is a long period of turmoil in the country, even if Your Majesty has a poor family, it is probably a skilled woman who can cook without rice. From this, it can be seen that the strength of a country does not depend on how big its territory, how large its population is, and how strong the army is, but on whether the country is stable. How powerful Emperor Wu of Han was to wipe out the Huns, but it also led to the rise of public grievances in the country, so that the Han Dynasty has never recovered from then on. Therefore, no matter when, the country should be governed first. Only when the country is stable can we be qualified to talk about other things."

Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining and others, including Li Zhi nodded one after another. Only one shouted: "What do you know about this little kid? You are talking nonsense. What is the first thing to do to govern the country? Of course, you must have strong soldiers first. Don't forget. This country was defeated by Taizu and Taizong on the back of the horse."

It was Cheng Yaojin who spoke.

Han Yi's words really provoked him. Governing the country depends on civil officials, and governing the country is the most important thing. Wouldn't that mean that their military generals are the least important?

Changsun Wuji glared at his eyes and said, "What do you know, old man? Did the military rations you fought fall from the world? If there is no military ration, you can't win even if you give 10 million people. If you don't have food, you won't win and you won't govern the country. Where do you think the country is the first, or the strong army is the first?"

Cheng Yaojin sprayed: "Don't tell me these great principles here. You literati are just talking nonsense and want me to fight with you. That's fine, after the fight, let's go out and fight."

The only person in the court dared to speak like this to Changsun Wuji was Cheng Yaojin, because they were all the first to follow Li Shimin. They had been fighting for decades, and they would probably feel lonely if they were missing each other.

Of course, this does not mean that their relationship is bad, it just reflects that their relationship is very good. If it weren't for an old acquaintance, Cheng Yaojin would not have dared to talk to Changsun Wuji like this.

Changsun Wuji pointed at Cheng Yaojin and said, "You old man, when I followed Emperor Taizong to pacify the northwest, you were just a bandit. You thought you had fought a war, and I fought no less than you."

Cheng Yaojin danced and said, "You said I was a bandit, aren't you just a grain magistrate?"

"How dare you say I am the grain escort officer." Changsun Wuji said in anger. He stood up suddenly, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "You want to fight, right? I will accompany you to the end today."

"That's good. Those who dare to fight with me are dead. You are the eldest grandson left. I won't bully you. I'll let you find a few helpers."

Cheng Yaojin shook his head and stood up, arrogant, it was so arrogant that I was talking about a young man.

The two of them were about to get started.

Chu Suiliang, Han Yuan, Lai Ji, Changsun Chong quickly grabbed Changsun Wuji. Yu Zhining was old and would definitely not be able to hold Cheng Yaojin back, so he just blocked the front with one hand and persuaded him a few words.

Han Yi was already stunned. He really didn't want to provoke and disagree. Even if he was willing, he would say the first thing he said, looking at Changsun Wuji who was so angry that he was sarcastic and Cheng Yaojin, is this really the prime minister and the duke? Why do you look more like a civilian in the city than me!

Little did they know that this was the culture of the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty was very martial and had a very high status in military officers, but now the status of civil servants is increasing day by day. After all, there is no war now, and the domestic policy of cultivation, reproduction and restoration is also implemented. Civil officials must be the main focus. Fighting between civil and military officials is common. Changsun Wuji was originally from a warlord family, but Li Shimin found that he could not fight, and his administration and logistics were powerful, so he turned him into a civil servant, but his family background was still there and he was not afraid of these military officers.

"Enough."

Li Zhi finally spoke out.

As soon as he spoke, Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin immediately calmed down.

Li Zhi glanced at them and his hair was covered in white and his face was covered in frost. There was no way to teach them a lesson. He smiled helplessly: "Don't be impatient, please let Han Yi finish it first, let's discuss it." As he said that, he immediately shouted out of the screen: "Desheng, bring two cups of tea to quench the thirst of the Taiwei and Duke Lu."

Changsun Wuji looked embarrassed and asked his nephew to joke. He glared at Cheng Yaojin fiercely before sitting back. But there was no way. He was the only one in it. Yu Zhining and Cheng Yaojin had a similar qualifications and seniority. Even Chu Suiliang was a little bit of a point. Yu Zhining's personality must have been taken as if he hadn't heard it. If he didn't come out to suppress Cheng Yaojin, then this old man would have to say that they were worthless.

Cheng Yaojin was thick-skinned and didn't care about these things, but he didn't dare to make trouble. After all, the Liangyi Palace is not his family.

Zhang Desheng brought two little eunuchs to serve them a cup of tea.

Lee Ji said to Han Yi again: "Han Yi, continue talking."

"ah?"

The Korean artists were all confused and were already out of the show. They were stunned and said, "Where did Weichen talk about it?"

Yu Zhining smiled and said, "Governing the country first."

"Oh, yes, governing the country first, governing the country first. Thank you for your reminder."

Han Yi wiped his sweat and cursed in his heart. This old man is really harmful to people. If you interrupt this level of political discussion, what if I scare you? I coughed lightly and continued: "The people are the first priority to governing the country, the people are the best, and then the country is the best. Therefore, the focus of governing the country is the lives of the people. But in our Tang Dynasty, we have not given any official mission, and it is the responsibility to protect the people."

Yu Zhining said: "This is inappropriate. Although no official office has the mission of the people, everything we ministers do is not for the Tang Dynasty and for the people of the world."

"What Zuo Pushe said," Han Yi nodded slightly and said, "But we all know that the foundation of a country lies in the people, so there should be an official office that specializes in protecting the people. If you protect the people well, then why worry about my Tang Dynasty for thousands of years."

Yu Zhining nodded and said, "You are right, but it is too general to take protecting the people as your duty. What are they doing specifically?"

Although Changsun Chong told them about the matter before, Changsun Chong was also confused. He dared not say too much, because if this matter is not very clear, it would be too much wrong. Therefore, Yu Zhining and the others did not deliberately make things difficult for Han Yi.

Han Yi said: "Protecting the people's lives means maintaining public order."

Cheng Yaojin said: "I think you are a waste of time. Can't you see the soldiers patrolling the streets every day?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Of course I saw it, but it is very inappropriate to use soldiers to maintain public order. When the Xiaguan was still in Yangzhou, the governor of Yangzhou once sent a small team of soldiers to find me in Meicun. In fact, they were just here to find me, but the people in my village were very scared when they saw them. Why did this phenomenon occur? Because they had murderous aura on them, the weapons in their hands were used to kill people, so it made people feel scared. To maintain public order, you must face the people, but the weapons of the soldiers are used to deal with the enemy. Even if someone breaks the law, he is just a criminal person. He is still a commoner in my Tang Dynasty, not the enemy of my Tang Dynasty. When our soldiers face their own people with weapons used to kill the enemy, this is a mistake.

Moreover, the soldiers' duty is to fight. Whether it is to defend the country or expand territory, they need to be resolved through war. This is the responsibility of the soldiers. Yes, what they do is to protect the people, but they regard all the people as a whole. If a commoner dies innocently in the war, the soldiers will not have much feelings. They care more about the winning or losing of the war. Of course, this is not the soldiers' fault, they have to take the overall situation into consideration. The soldiers' duty is to win the war, and their duties have no subtle relationship with the people's daily lives."

Li Zhi nodded frequently when he heard this and said, "This is really reasonable."

Lai Ji said: "You said it well, but aren't there any county government office?"

Han Yi said: "The main responsibility of the county government is to manage the land, rivers, water conservancy, irrigation, and issue orders from the court. The county government does something to make the people live better on this land. Among them, one accepts crimes to perform its duties to protect the people, rather than protecting the people in the true sense. I suggest establishing a new official government government, with the purpose of performing its duties and governing the country more meticulously. At the same time, it also emphasizes Your Majesty's love for the people as a son, and promotes Your Majesty's benevolence in politics, so as to make every citizen live in a stable environment."

This one can be available.

It just happened to be Li Zhilai's thoughts. He was not aware of the love of the people of the world shortly after he ascended the throne. Simply put, he gave too little favors to the people, far less than Li Shimin. Although the emperor is the greatest, if the people of the world do not recognize you as an emperor, then you are not the emperor and benefit the people. This is what every emperor has to do. Even if you shout a few slogans, you have to shout. The emperor who has not done this will be overthrown by the people. It can also be said that he is a people who are beaten up by the people and a flowing emperor.

Based on this alone, Li Zhi had a reason to support him, nodded and said, "But you said so much, but it did not explain what the specific authority of this new yamen is?"

Han Yi said: "Protecting the people is to maintain public security. What is public security, that is, order. The order of our Tang Dynasty is the Tang law. There is a way, and there is no order without rules. The new government office is naturally used to maintain the law, defend the law, crack down on all acts that destroy the law, and use the law to protect the people, that is, protect the people according to the law."

"Okay! What a protector of the people according to law! That's right!"

Changsun Wuji suddenly shouted.
