Chapter 343 Everyone is surprised
Li Shimin closed his eyes and said, "I want a new name? Well, I should really think of a new name. This matter must be done as a big thing, and it will continue for a long time!"
After thinking for a while, Li Shimin opened his eyes and said to Wang Ping'an: "No illness, a few days ago, you taught Ma Zhou a set of peerless magical skills to relieve eye fatigue. Ma Zhou Xiang offered treasures, and also taught me that I felt it very good to use it. However, why did you insist on adding that sentence before the eye exercises started? Are you flattering me?"
Li Zhi looked at Wang Ping'an and said, "Wujian, do you have any other peerless magical skills? Why haven't you told Gu?"
Wang Ping'an said: "When you say to Your Highness, I occasionally remember that Your Highness is full of youth and does not have any symptoms of eye fatigue, so I didn't say it. In fact, I don't do it often!"
He quickly explained to Li Zhi so that the prince would not be jealous and thought he didn't care about his eyes. Li Zhi said oh, and then gave up. It turned out that Wang Ping'an didn't do anything himself, so that it wouldn't matter!
Wang Ping'an said to Li Shimin again: "Your Majesty, what you are asking is to serve the emperor, protect his eyes and relieve fatigue. Eye exercises are now started, close your eyes, right? I just want to flatter the emperor, but I said in person that I was a little thin-skinned and embarrassed, so I had to say it through someone else's mouth!"
Li Shimin was stunned, and Li Zhi was also stunned. They all looked at Wang Ping'an. They didn't expect Wang Ping'an to answer like this, and admitted it directly, saying that they were flattering the emperor and beating the emperor's fart!
Li Shimin shouted, shook his head and smiled, "You are so honest, you can say whatever you want. In this way, I can't fix you!"
The sweat on Wang Ping'an almost fell off. Fortunately, he didn't pretend to be a gentleman, otherwise it would be inevitable that he would have a repair!
Li Shimin said: "If you want to add a sentence at the Aoyun Conference, such as serving the imperial court, being loyal to the emperor and patriotism, strengthening your physical fitness, and starting the race meeting now, prepare... What do you think?"
Wang Ping'an grinned and thought to himself: "You really know how to learn from others. Well, this idea is good. Although shouting slogans is quite formalistic, sometimes it can play a role in unity. As long as you don't just slogans and forget to do other things, you'll do it!"
He said: "I think that because the conference also requires foreign nationals to participate, it is better to replace serving the imperial court with serving the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and replace loyalty to the Emperor's patriotism with loyalty to the Tang Dynasty's court. This will be slightly better, and it will also allow the emperor's grace to be harmed by foreign national barbarians!"
There are some things that the emperor is embarrassed to say, "There is no reason to slap your own farts, so as a minister, you have to share the worries of the emperor at this time. If you are embarrassed, then let us slap your butts for you!
Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi and asked, "What does Zhier mean?"
Li Zhi was inspired and said, "Wujian said it well. You can add the previous sentence to the people when the conference is held. And the name of the conference that the father just said, according to the idea of Erchen, it is better to call it "The Tang Dynasty and the people of foreign countries loyal to the Tiankhan Chang'an Shining the World of the World"!"
Wang Ping'an almost vomited. Hell, Li Zhi, you are extremely slow in learning other things, but when you start to learn how to shoot dragon farts, you are actually a super genius. You are much more powerful than me!
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Okay, the official name can be this, but it's the abbreviation... This method of increasing the income of the imperial court has never been heard before. It's very mysterious. Why not just call it the Olympics!"
Wang Ping'an immediately bowed and shouted: "The emperor is wise, this conference is in the name of the Olympics, so it is a great deal. Long live our Lord!"
Seeing that he had called out the sage first, Li Zhi quickly said, "My son also thinks this is called the Great Sang, the father and the emperor are sage, and the son and the minister are far from the same as the father and the emperor!"
Li Shimin laughed. The name of the Olympics is much better than that of the Aoyun... Hey, it wasn't that they deliberately gave such a strange name and asked me to change it, so that they flattered and shouted for the wise?
At this moment, the ministers had already come outside the hall, and the Secretariat and Menxia were in the palace. After the ministers received the letter, they came in immediately, so they arrived first.
Ma Zhou, the leader, took the memorial to the emperor and read it. After reading it, the ministers all cheered loudly. The most important thing in the national affairs is tax collection, but tax collection has not been easy since ancient times. No one likes to pay taxes. Who is willing to give food to others? No one wants to!
The ministers were worried about this matter, but everyone had no choice. From ancient times to the present, all dynasties have come like this. The taxes are small, which is called hiding wealth and the people. But when the country encounters problems, it is a sign of destruction. If the people get back on rebellion, it is no time to have a balance!
But what Wang Ping'an came up with... the idea that the crown prince came up with was so good. It was so good that no one's interests could harm, and he could still have a large income. If this is not good, then what could he still applaud?
The ministers took turns to read the memorial, touching their beards and nodding, and repeatedly claiming to be good.
After a while, other ministers also arrived. Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Chu Suiliang entered the hall one by one, and a group of officials from the Ministry of Revenue arrived carefully. None of the other departments passed on, but there were so many officials from their departments. How could they not tremble? They thought something was wrong and the emperor wanted to punish them!
But after the ministers read the memorial, Li Zhi personally explained it. Everyone was happy and said it was great charity, especially the officials of the Ministry of Revenue, who were even more happy. As soon as this matter was handled, the Ministry of Revenue immediately increased its power. Every official who participated would add a note to his resume, and his career would be smooth. Can they be unhappy? There was a little gratitude in his eyes when he looked at Wang Ping'an!
Although everyone calls the prince wise and the prince wise, everyone knows who wise and who wise is, but they just don’t say it!
Changsun Wuji said: "Emperor, this matter must be done as a major matter. As long as it is done well, the court will have a large income every year, and it can also improve the status of our Tang Dynasty among the various countries, so that they can know the prosperity and strength of our Tang Dynasty, the health of the people, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the four barbarians are shocked!"
Wang Ping'an nodded in his heart. Changsun Wuji was still very fussy and saw the international influence of the Olympics at once.
Fang Xuanling came out and said, "The old minister thought that if you want to do this big thing well, you need to start with Wang Ping'an and Long Aotian competing for medical skills. It is not appropriate to do it after three days. What should the emperor think?"
Li Shimin said: "It really takes time. Not only the people of Chang'an should know, but also the people of the prefectures and counties in the capital. The more people come, the better, and the more business names come, the better. Then it will be set in ten days. Chu Aiqing will draw an order... Well, don't write it in a straightforward way, so that the people can understand it more!"
Chu Suiliang likes to play with gorgeous words so he needs to remind him to finish it. Don’t write it into something that no one can understand. Then who can still come!
Chu Suiliang agreed and went to the palace. Shi Zhongchen asked the little eunuch to prepare the four treasures of the study for him. He began to draft an order. Soon, an imperial edict was drafted and used for the emperor to show it.
After seeing this, Li Shimin frowned and said, "It's still not straightforward enough. Well, you can write it out by loyal ministers!"
Shi Zhongchen agreed, glanced at the embarrassing Chu Suiliang, and thought to himself: "You will write something that others can't understand. You are not as good as me in writing notices."
He went to the side of the hall and called a eunuch Bingbi. He said that the eunuch Bingbi records were recorded, and soon he wrote an imperial edict. Writing a notice to the people is actually very simple. It can be written in a normal tone and there is no need for any modification.
After writing, Shi Zhongchen presented the imperial edict to Li Shimin. After reading it, Li Shimin shook his head and said, "It is straightforward, but it makes people feel fake. After all, this is to let the people in foreign countries pay, and they have to let the people in the foreign countries pay. It is written in plain language, which looks a bit like a deceptive look!"
Ministers, look at me, look at you. This imperial edict is really difficult to write. It must not only make the people understand it, but also make everyone feel that it is true!
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Wang Ping'an, you come and write."
The ministers turned their heads together and looked at Wang Ping'an at the end of the queue, wanting to see how the upstart in the court would write this imperial edict.
Wang Ping'an agreed, walked to the edge of the hall, stood in front of the desk, and lowered his head to ponder. The eunuch holding the pen picked up his pen and waited for Wang Ping'an to speak. He thought that Wang Ping'an also needed someone to write for him!
After thinking for a while, Wang Ping'an took the pen from the eunuch Bingbi and wrote five words on the paper: "If there is a good thing, come quickly!"
This paper is said to be paper, but it is actually yellow silk, with dragon patterns on the back and the contents are written on the front, and the head and signature are written. If this imperial edict is read together, it is: According to the will of heaven, the emperor issued an edict saying, if there is a good thing, come quickly and reward this! The emperor will be completed as soon as he uses the jade seal!
The eunuch Bingbi said, looking at Wang Ping'an, thinking, "What's the matter? If there is a good thing, come quickly? I have seen more imperial edicts, and this one has the least number of words and is the most vague... However, it is the most puzzled, what's the good thing?"
Wang Ping'an picked up the imperial edict, walked to the front of the hall, and handed it to Shi Zhongchen. Shi Zhongchen glanced at him, and looked puzzled on his face. He glanced at Wang Ping'an, and then he submitted it to the emperor.
The imperial edict went to a shop on the table, and Li Shimin recited: "If there is something good, come quickly!"
The ministers below looked at the emperor together. They didn't expect that these five words were imperial edicts written by Wang Ping'an, and they were all puzzled. What's the good thing?
Li Shimin looked down at Wang Ping'an who was retreating, and said again: "If there is something good, come quickly!"
Seeing that Wang Ping'an was not stopping, but was still retreating. He thought he had not heard it, so he said to Wang Ping'an: "Not sick, the emperor said there is a good thing, let you go!" He thought that this imperial edict was well written, so the emperor wanted to reward Wang Ping'an, so he hereby reminded him.
Li Zhi also said: "No illness, my father said there is something good, come forward quickly!"
The ministers looked at Wang Ping'an together and thought to themselves: "The emperor said there is a good thing, why are you not curious? Hurry up and ask what the good thing is!"
Wang Ping'an retreated to the end of the court class, stood in his position, still with a down-eyed look, with a good baby expression!
The ministers could not see anything from Wang Ping'an's face, so they had to turn around and look at Emperor Li Shimin, wanting to see what the emperor's expression was. When Li Shimin was also puzzled, he gently tapped the Dragon Book Case with his fingers, and said again: "If there is a good thing, come quickly!" This is the third time he has said this.
The ministers could no longer bear it, and Changsun Wuji asked, "Emperor, what's the good thing?"
Li Shimin looked down and suddenly his face became cheerful and said with a smile: "Wuji, do you feel very strange? I'm wondering if there is something good?"
Changsun Wuji nodded, turned to look at the other ministers, and the ministers nodded together, Yes, what good things are there!
Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Emperor, if there is any good thing, just tell me it so that everyone can be happy!"
Li Shimin suddenly laughed, and the more he laughed, he became louder and louder. He looked very happy. He picked up the imperial edict on the table and said, "The imperial edict that is not a disease is just these five words. If there is a good thing, come quickly!"
The ministers were slightly stunned at the same time, and suddenly they understood the taste together! They are all human spirits, so it would take a long time to understand. If there is a good thing, come quickly! These five words suddenly swell up people's appetite. Everyone wants to know what good things are!
Li Shimin waved his hand again and said, "No sick, come forward and explain!"
Wang Ping'an went out again and said, "Yes. Your Majesty, if the imperial edict you are talking about is too difficult to write, then the people do not understand it, and the people in foreign countries may not understand it much. They often ignore it and do not take it seriously. If the imperial edict is written too straightforward, they are afraid that the people will think it is fake. The emperor has not... It was an imperial edict issued by someone else in the name of the emperor, which is deceiving them. This fake edict will sooner or later be taken back!"
Li Shimin nodded and said, "No one thinks this is a false imperial edict, but he is skeptical, that is true. This is what I am afraid of."
The ministers also nodded one after another. It is true that the Olympic Games have never been held in previous dynasties before, so it is really hard to make the people believe immediately. There must be some concerns in this regard!
Wang Ping'an waited for them to nod, and then said, "The people will feel very strange. Will such strange things happen? They often make random guesses. But since the people must be guessing nonsense, why not let us guide them to guess!"
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Let the people guess what a good thing! Well, in this way, not only will the people in Chang'an start guessing within one day, but this news will probably spread throughout the capital like wings!"
Wang Ping'an said: "That's right. As soon as the people guess, all kinds of strange ideas will appear. Ideas that are even more strange than the Olympics will appear. In contrast, running around the city wall is no big deal and it won't make people feel unacceptable. Then let's guide it and it will be done!"
The ministers were thinking and looked at him together. Fang Xuanling suddenly asked, "How to guide? It is not easy to let millions of people think about things with you, right?"
Chapter completed!
