Chapter 816 Power VS Morality

Many people say that politicians have the same virtue, and this is a bit inappropriate.

Because every profession has its own characteristics, even the assembly line of the factory is no exception, politics of course also has its own characteristics. However, politics is actually full of personalization. The same thing and the same meaning, but it feels completely different when spoken by different politicians. Some politicians are arrogant, and they will impose their arrogance into politics, and they are somewhat restrained. His political career is also full of restraint. Instead of changing their personality because of politics, it is as the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.

Why ask outsiders more about this family matter of Your Majesty!

This is Li Jishi's answer.

You came to ask me about your family affairs, are you funny?

Very neutral.

There is nothing more neutral than this.

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this. He said he would support me, but why did he become so neutral again? He looked at Li Ji, but Li Ji was still a Gu Jing Bubo, which seemed very boring, as if he really had nothing to do with him.

It was strange! Li Zhi frowned and pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized it.

Li Ji's words are very intriguing. The first meaning is that if you want to establish an empress, it is the emperor's own business. You shouldn't ask me because I am an outsider. But if that is the case, why don't Li Ji say "me" directly and why should he say "outsider". From this we can infer the second meaning, that is, not only me, but others are also outsiders, and you shouldn't ask, you just make your own decisions. Then we can conclude that Chu Suiliang is of course an outsider, and there is no need to obtain his consent.

To sum up, it’s just one thing: you are an emperor, just make the decision.

In fact, there is another meaning, that is, Li Ji did not want to be ashamed of Li Shimin. He did not approve of Wu Zhaoyi as his descendant, but the current situation did not allow him to say that. His words cleverly avoided this point. When he went downstairs to see Li Shimin in the future, he could say that I had no support, it was your son who took care of himself, and it had nothing to do with me. I was just loyal.

This simple sentence can be said to reflect Li Ji's lifelong wisdom.

But no matter what, this is the greatest support for Li Zhi.

What Li Zhi wants is not who is the queen. It doesn’t matter to him. He wants to be in power and he has to make his own decisions.

If you ask Changsun Wuji, Changsun Wuji objected, if you ask me, I agree. Whether you agree or object, it is not your decision. You just changed someone else and changed your opinion.

Whether it is established or invalid, you can make a decision by yourself.

Xu Jingzong and others also suggested that Li Zhi make Wu Meiniang the queen, but because of his different personalities, their suggestions were very arrogant, without Li Ji's restraint. From another perspective, everyone's artistic conception was not on the same level. Why is Li Ji so awesome and Xu Jingzong so depressed? In general, his thoughts and abilities are still much worse, which is insurmountable.

Just one sentence is better than a thousand words.

Li Zhi shouted in his heart that this is the true loyal minister!

Li Ji's words made Li Zhi determined that no matter who objected, he would make Wu Meiniang the queen.

The two of them had the end of their communication, because Li Ji's sentence is over. Don't ask me about this matter. Of course, Li Zhi won't ask anymore. If he doesn't ask, then there is nothing to say.

Xu Mansion.

"Uncle, now that Your Majesty has received the support of the Grand Sikong, why are you still so frowning?"

When Wang Dejian saw Xu Jingzong sitting on the chair, he was very lonely and frowned. He was very puzzled. With Li Ji's participation in the war, their situation was bright.

Xu Jingzong sighed: "After that being said, don't forget who invited Li Ji."

Wang Dejian frowned slightly and said, "Is my uncle worried about Han Yi?"

Xu Jingzong nodded and said, "This person is despicable and cunning. I have a deep grudge with him. If he sits on my head, I may not be able to turn over. Oh, I really don't know how he invited Li Ji out of the mountain."

To judge others by one's own heart is not a villain's act, but human nature. Whether it is a villain or a gentleman, they like to judge others by one's own heart. Xu Jingzong is even more like this. He has repeatedly been unable to get along with Han Yi. Now that Han Yi has made such great contributions, he is also afraid that Han Yi will ride on him by then.

Wang Dejian said: "Uncle, even though Han Yi made such great contributions, he is not afraid of himself. He is just a person, and both Li Zhongshu and Doctor Cui are not very close to him. Uncle would think so. Wouldn't Li Zhongshu and Doctor Cui think so?"

Xu Jingzong nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "But Han Yi can't take away this credit alone, so I have to do something."

After all, Wang Dejian is known as a think tank. After a moment of thought, he said, "Uncle, you are still focusing on what you are good at."

Xu Jingzong said: "How do you say this?"

Wang Dejian said: "Recently, Han Yuan, the minister of the school, and the minister of the Central Secretariat, have been writing articles. Although criticizing Your Majesty and Wu Zhaoyi is not enough to affect the overall situation, it still makes Your Majesty a headache. If you can write articles to refute their remarks, that would be a great achievement. Isn't this writing article just what you are good at in uncle?"

Xu Jingzong couldn't help but blush when he heard this. He was indeed very good at writing articles. The problem was that Han Yuan, Lai Ji was better at it, and the truth was not on his side. If he could have an idea, he would have written it long ago.

Seeing that Xu Jingzong was very unconfident, Wang Dejian immediately understood and pondered for a moment, and then said, "Uncle, this article has a great elegance and vulgarity. How many eternal quatrains come from dirty places like brothels, why don't you try it out if you don't change your way?"

Xu Jingzong was stunned when he heard this, as if he had thought of something, but he soon fell into deep thought.

The next day!

Han Yuan, Lai Ji came to Hongwenguan again to discuss the matter of establishing and abolishing the queen with a group of ministers. Now the matter has started, and they don’t need to hide it. Han Yuan, Lai Ji did this just to use the theories of various schools to mobilize the other ministers to support them.

"Ha ha!"

Just as everyone was discussing fiercely, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded outside the door, and Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu walked in from outside.

Han Yuan and Lai Ji looked at Xu Jingzong and Li Yi Mansion with extremely hostility.

Xu Jingzong bowed and said with a smile: "Han Shizhong and Zhongshu Ling, Xu just heard a few wonderful opinions from two people outside, but Xu had some objections to their words."

Han Yuan said coldly and unrestrainedly: "I wish to hear and see."

Xu Jingzong smiled and said, "If the man in the suburbs harvested ten hu of wheat, he would want to change his wife. What's more, the emperor wants to establish a future, and this has nothing to do with others. Why do you need to talk nonsense?"

Li Yifu looked at Xu Jingzong with a little surprise.

The other civil officials even sneered at this.

You are too vulgar. It is really unreasonable to compare the emperor with the sergeant and to use immorality as reasoning.

This is Hongwenguan, which represents the highest culture of the Tang Dynasty. It seems that Xu Jingzong has exhausted his ink and even said such shameless words.

But Han Yuan and Lai Ji frowned and looked worried when they heard this.

There is a saying that is good, but the words are rough but not rough!

No matter how much Xu Jingzong said, he was from a famous family and wrote very well, otherwise he would not have been able to enter the Hongwenguan. Why did such a famous Grand Secretary use fielders to describe the emperor?

It is definitely not aimless and self-deserving reputation. In fact, on the other hand, this metaphor has an appropriate side, that is, as the king of a country, the emperor was even less powerful than the fielder. This is the real core demand. The focus of Xu Jingzong's publicity is that the emperor has no power now, so don't talk about moral principles with me. We are talking about politics.

This sentence abandoned Han Yuan and Lai Ji's theories.

You like to reason, but I won’t reason with you. We will talk about power and imperial power. Is it the imperial power or the great reason? Let’s work together and see.

Who is the emperor who blames for doing this? Isn’t it just that you powerful ministers always point fingers at the emperor. If the king is not a king, the minister is not a minister. All of this is caused by you. You are still embarrassed to talk about it here, you are shameless.

Li Yifu suddenly understood and shouted in his heart, this is so wonderful!

Many ministers around him also reacted. They wanted to reason here, that is, undermining the imperial power. This must be considered clearly. Don’t just talk about the reason but lose your life.

Many ministers moved quietly and came to Ji to get a distance with Han Yuan.

The clever Li Yifu was unwilling to fall behind. He immediately borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and told Wu Meiniang about this. Why did he tell Wu Meiniang instead of telling Li Zhi directly? It was because this was too vulgar and he was embarrassed to say it to the emperor.

After hearing this, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but be overjoyed. This was really a happy ending. She immediately mobilized her own forces to promote these words in the court.

This directly causes a dispute between imperial power and morality.

Although both are very important, once you face the situation of choosing one of two, as a minister, you will certainly choose to stand on the side of imperial power. As the saying goes, under the world, is the king's land, and the king's ministers.

Is it moral to kill Li Shimin when he killed his brother and forced his father to abdicate?

Of course not.

However, Li Shimin is also supported by everyone and has become a wise king. It can be seen that morality is not worth mentioning in the face of imperial power.

Li Jie, who had been silent for many years, finally spoke. After all, the political capital is here. As soon as he speaks, it is amazing. His former subordinates got rid of the neutral cloak and submitted a memorial to support the deposed Wang Liwu.

Just between the past or two days, the situation in North Korea and China began to undergo a huge reversal.

Changsun Wuji, who was originally respected and powerful, has now become a side with a small number of people. Their remarks are no longer valued by everyone, and no one listens to them anymore, which is equivalent to being entertaining themselves.

The essence of this incident is fully highlighted at this moment.

Literally speaking, the deposed Wang Liwu is just a change of a wife by the emperor, which is actually normal. But the essence of the meaning is not as simple as changing a wife, but the emperor wants to be in power, but the emperor wants to be in power, and the harm of Changsun Wuji is definitely the interests of Changsun Wuji.

Now the court is unreasonable, and it is about the weak imperial power. What can be proved by changing to a wife?

It is so simple to change a wife from a farmer. Why is it so difficult for an emperor to change a wife?

This is a fatal blow to Changsun Wuji.
