Chapter 304 Hundred Officials Are Entangled - How Should They Be Rewarded?
The judgment of the officials is very reasonable, after all, everyone has a selfish side, and this matter is the same reaction to anyone, including themselves, I am afraid they are all the same reaction - Li Zhen is not famous, lustful, and not wealthy, so in their minds, Li Zhen's only weakness is that he spares his life, if he can't even save his life, where will he have so much scruples?
But is that really the case?
Of course......
Li Zhen's reaction was definitely similar to what they guessed, if they really wanted to force Li Shimin to kill him, Li Zhen's only choice was to resist and send everyone who wanted to kill him to hell to find Meng Po to drink soup.
Li Zhen is very selfless, and after coming to Datang, he gave all kinds of gifts, but his selflessness is based on a foundation - that is, what he sends out will return to his hands sooner or later.
Therefore, don't look at him to send the fleet, and hand over the control of the forces under his command, and even allow Li Shimin to borrow his own financial resources......
In fact, all this is only temporary, once he ascends the throne, all this will eventually return to his hands, which is almost inevitable.
Let alone.
Why is Li Zhen so generous?
Why not spare no effort to point the tech tree, develop the army, and colonize overseas?
In addition to the above reason, a more important reason is that Li Zhen believes that only under his own guidance can Datang avoid the predetermined fate in the future, and thus embark on another path - a road that represents endless glory.
According to the current situation, Li Zhen's efforts are very successful, and Datang is gradually changing his direction and sailing towards a broader future under the vigorous fluttering of his fluttering moth wings.
If nothing else, the future Datang will become stronger and stronger, but this must be pulled by the old driver himself, otherwise, next to the endless glorious road, it will be an abyss.
Except for himself, a future person who is familiar with history and has received the baptism of the information explosion, no one in the entire Datang can ensure that the Datang train has a fast enough speed while surviving one crisis after another.
In addition to himself, no one else in the entire Datang has this ability, Li Shimin can't, Li Zhi can't, Wu Zetian can't, only he Li Zhen can complete this hand, if he has an accident halfway, although Datang can't say that he can't be saved, but he will definitely slow down his pace, so as to buy time for the future enemy to get closer to Datang's strength.
However, if his efforts have just had a little effect, and they are far from achieving their goal, someone stands up to pick peaches, and even tries to destroy himself, Li Zhen will never agree, he will inevitably resist - but this resistance is not for his own desire for power, but to save the future of Datang......
Of course, all of the above is hypothetical, Li Zhen is the crown prince, and he is also the most important person in the Tang Dynasty after Li Shimin, and even in a way, his status is more important than Li Shimin, because Li Shimin's future has been decided, but Li Zhen's future still has endless possibilities, but there is no doubt that in the eyes of most people, Li Zhen can bring the Tang Dynasty to a better direction - whether it is the people or the government and the opposition, there are countless people who have such ideas.
Among the hundred officials, there are many people who want Li Zhen to die, but the proportion of these people in the Tang Dynasty court is not high, and their status in Shilin may not be high - because people with sufficient status have been eliminated by Li Shimin in advance, such as Tang Jian, such as Wang Gui......
On the contrary, the group of people at the top of the Tang Pyramid clearly understand what Li Zhen's existence means to the Tang Dynasty, they can't want Li Zhen to die, and they can't let others kill Li Zhen, and even if someone is unfavorable to Li Zhen, they are all Li Zhen's strongest umbrella - whether it's for the future of Datang or for their own family, they will never allow Li Zhen to do anything.
But no matter what, for Li Zhen's reward, Baiguan is really entangled this time, Li Zhen's identity is too special, and it is really difficult to give a suitable reward for a while.
Money, power, and status are not good, do you want to reward a lot of beautiful women?
Are you kidding?
Do you believe it or not, as long as you dare to put forward this proposal, His Majesty the Emperor will dare to directly drag you out and behead you a hundred times, a hundred times?
That's the prince, the future prince of the Tang Dynasty, you actually want to give him a beauty?
Not to mention how many beauties you need to send if you want to be worthy of the prince's merits, let's just say that you send women to the prince, what is your intention?
Do you want the prince to indulge in wine and sink forever?
Don't be kidding, Li Zhen is destined to go to the top of the supreme in the future, and you actually instigated the prince to indulge in wine?
What are your intentions?
Could it be that he wants to use Gentle Township to kill the prince's heroism, so as to destroy him?
What a sinister intention......
With this crime, even if Li Shimin cuts you down, no one will plead for you.
In the face of Li Shimin's inquiry, the ministers really couldn't think of any good reward to show up, so they could only be silent.
Li Shimin himself realized this, thought about it for a while, and kicked the ball to Li Zhen very unscrupulously: "Zhen'er, since you Aiqing can't think of what to reward you, then you might as well say it yourself, what you want, as long as your father can agree, it will definitely satisfy you." ” Of course, Li Zhen also understood the reason, and thought about it: "Father, these are actually what sons should do, sons are the princes of the Tang Dynasty, if even sons have to ask for benefits if they have made meritorious contributions, then it is a bit too much." ” Hearing Li Zhen's words, the hundred officials were relieved, and their hearts were in a great hurry, and the reason for the relief was that Li Zhen took the initiative to eliminate the topic caused by Li Shimin and avoided the great urgency to continue to be embarrassed, and the reason for the urgency was said before - Li Zhen made such a great contribution, but he was not rewarded, so if they made meritorious contributions in the future, where would they have the face to ask the court for rewards?
Li Zhen offended everyone this time.
However, despite their eagerness, they are not good at imposing the reward on Li Zhen, after all, it is Li Zhen who takes the initiative to push the reward away, if it is imposed on him, it will inevitably seem too deliberate, not to mention that if Li Zhen really accepts the reward, then the problem will return to the original contradiction again - what should Li Zhen be rewarded?
