Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Ke were all in a small room in the medical school.
Three brothers got together to play Landlord.
Considering that patients need to undergo surgery, receive injections, and receive IV drips, the medical school is one of the few places with heating.
The heating equipment was purchased directly from 21st Century.
", Shunzi, do you want Qingque Sanlang?"
Li Tai was a little worried and reached out to pick it up, "...and took away a 7."
"No, I can't afford it." Li Ke shook his head.
"78 plane." Li Chengqian continued to play cards.
"Huh? Brother, why do you still have three 7s?" Li Tai looked at the pair of 7s in his hand.
"I just defeated a company. Isn't the plane just right now?" Li Chengqian smiled.
"What about the two 7s I have here?" Li Tai took out two 7s.
The three brothers had notes stuck on their faces. They were all grown up, so it didn't affect their fun.
"Hey...it's reasonable to have more cards when playing, right? Brother Qingque, don't you think so?" Li Ke silently hid the 7 in his hand.
"That makes sense..." Li Tai agreed.
Li Chengqian's condition is getting better and better after the operation.
Like Li Tai, he can finally enjoy a peaceful life.
"The new year should be starting soon, right?" Li Ke asked.
"Sizi has not been idle before, he has been preparing all the time. Now it should be about time, it is Sizi's time." Li Chengqian picked up the water cup and took a sip.
There were many nuts, snacks, tangerines and various pastries on the table.
But the three brothers ate very little and were only concerned with playing cards.
Li Chengqian, Li Tai and others are here, and their health is getting better and better, so they can actually provide a safety net for the little princess.
If there are any problems in the future that the little princess cannot solve, her brothers can still step in.
Normally, Li Chengqian would not interfere in the affairs of the court. At most, he would inquire about them, but he would not make any decisions.
Now the little princess is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and it would be unreasonable for Li Chengqian to interfere.
I thought that with Li Chengqian's abdication, the previous reforms would be over.
The little princess did not mention this matter after she ascended the throne, which gave many people the illusion that the little princess did not want to reform and wanted to maintain the current status quo.
The first court meeting in the first year of Fengyi was very grand.
All officials above the ninth rank in Chang'an City had to participate.
The little princess was dressed in a crown and sat upright on the dragon throne.
He looked at the civil and military officials and said, "At the beginning of the new year, everything is new. I am very pleased to see that you are all in high spirits."
"Over the past year, the Tang Dynasty has been plagued by numerous internal and external affairs. Fortunately, you have devoted yourselves and diligently governed the country, offering advice and suggestions in the court, fighting on the frontier battlefields, and working hard for the people in the prefectures and counties. Only then have you ensured the stability of my rule and the peace of mind of the people."
"I sincerely wish all my beloved ministers and all my subjects a happy new year, good health for your families, and all the best. May the new year bring good weather, peace and prosperity to the country and the people."
"On this New Year's Day, I would like to express my gratitude to all of you for your hard work."
Di Renjie quickly said, "Your Majesty is wise and wise, and your kind words of advice for the New Year warm the court. Last year, we served only our duty, and it was only through Your Majesty's strategic planning and guidance that the Tang Dynasty thrived. In the new year, I will tirelessly assist Your Majesty in implementing policies that benefit the people and managing the affairs of the court, ensuring the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and living up to Your Majesty's great grace."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the civil officials said in unison: "Long live our emperor, and may the Tang Dynasty prosper!"
Li Ji, the chief military commander, also said, "Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune. We, your servants, are loyal to you and will serve you faithfully! Although the frontiers are snowy, our passion for defending the Tang Dynasty remains undimmed, and we have fulfilled our mission. In the new year, we only wish to continue to follow your majesty, to enhance the military might of the Tang Dynasty, and to ensure the eternal security of our country. We will not hesitate to die!"
"Long live His Majesty! Long live the Tang Dynasty!"
In the past few months since the little princess ascended the throne, there have been no major events. The court has been functioning normally, and all civil and military officials have been quite satisfied.
At least I feel that the little princess is reliable and not messing around.
As the saying goes, we are not afraid of the second generation being distracted by material things, but we are afraid of the second generation being ambitious.
Liu Chan, who loved to play, was definitely much less harmful to the country than Yang Guang.
The little princess felt that this feeling of power was quite good and said with a smile: "In that case, let's start the previous transformation!"
The little princess' words were an understatement, but to the aristocratic families, they were like a bolt from the blue, like a thunderclap.
They actually want to reform the law.
Someone immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, so-called reforms touch the very foundations of the Tang Dynasty. We have been nobles for generations, and our ancestors have maintained the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty by following the laws of our ancestors. From the fields to the court, everything has its own rules. Your Majesty talks lightly about reforms, about standardizing the wheel gauge and the writing system, but now that government orders are flowing smoothly and the people are living in peace, any rash change would cause chaos. Moreover, customs vary from place to place, and forcing uniformity would be like sailing against the current, only to cause more trouble and disrupt the stability of the Tang Dynasty."
Another spoke again: "If the ancient ways cannot be followed, how could we have laid the foundation for a prosperous era in the first place? Don't destroy the prosperity of our Tang homeland for the sake of some illusory new land overseas."
Some even offered gentle counsel, "Your Majesty, you hold the throne of Heaven, and you must understand the principle of balance. Reforms are ambitious, but implementation is difficult and risky. It is better to proceed slowly, safeguarding the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Only by proceeding slowly can peace prevail both internally and externally. Why rush into action and stir up unrest, causing grief to loved ones and joy to enemies?"
The people from the aristocratic families strongly opposed it.
This was the little princess's expected reaction and not surprising at all.
"What you say may seem reasonable, but it's actually short-sighted. Our ancestors enacted laws with the intention of strengthening the country, but the predicament then was different from today's. Now that new territories have been incorporated into the Tang Dynasty, governance remains difficult. If we cling to the old ways, our policies will be difficult to implement, and local systems will vary. How can we expect lasting peace and stability? I'm not unaware of your hard work, but times change, and without change, we will decline. Reform is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty's legacy, not just for a momentary selfishness. I hope you will follow the trend and build a glorious future together."
The little princess raised her voice, "Two generations of our father and brothers have worked tirelessly and diligently to govern the country. Countless Tang soldiers have sacrificed their lives, risked their lives, and endured untold hardships to achieve the unification of the world we have today."
"If we don't change, it will happen sooner or later. When we lose the legacy laid by our fathers and brothers, how will you and I face Emperor Taizong?"
The little princess was also very determined.
"Your Majesty, this will destroy the foundation of the Tang Dynasty! No, absolutely not..."
"Reforms will harm the country and the people, and we must not..."
"Bang!" the little princess slammed the table. "Silence!"
"I want to tell you that the method of reform was planned by Emperor Taizong. It is the work of the predecessors of the Zhenguan period. It is not a method that will mislead the country and the people. This is a method that will strengthen the country and enrich the people. I will follow it!"
"To carry on the aspirations of my father and brothers!"
"There's no room for negotiation on this matter, and no one can stop me! I've made up my mind, and there's no need to argue!"
A group of conservatives simply knelt down in resistance.
Wu Zhao signaled the Imperial Guards to enter the Taiji Hall.
Just drag the old-school people.
"They are all my subjects, how can you drag them away?" The little princess looked at the guards, "Carry them out!"
