I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

With his sharp eyes, he observed every subtle reaction of the civil and military officials in the court.

When Li Chengqian saw Yuchi Jingde, he frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he stopped.

"General Yuchi, what do you think of my new policy?"

Li Chengqian asked with a smile. When Yuchi Jingde heard the emperor ask him, his heart skipped a beat. He didn't understand the content of the new policy at all, he was just in a daze.

But he reacted very quickly, holding the flyer and bowing, saying: "Your Majesty's new policy is the best policy I have ever seen. If my Tang Dynasty adopts such a policy, the national strength will surely flourish!"

These words were actually what he had heard Li Shimin say before, and it was just right to copy them and use them now.

After hearing Yuchi Jingde's answer, Li Chengqian nodded, took a step forward with a friendly smile, and patted Yuchi Jingde's shoulder affectionately.

"General, you are right. It seems that you also have your own profound thoughts on my new policies."

Li Chengqian praised.

Yuchi Jingde chuckled and said with a simple and honest face, "Your Majesty, I am praising you. I was just expressing my own opinions."

Li Chengqian nodded again, then looked at Cheng Yaojin beside him.

"What does General Cheng think?"

Li Chengqian asked.

Cheng Yaojin was dozing off that day and didn't hear anything about Li Shimin's comments at the time.

At this moment, he looked confused and could only nod his head and stammered, "Your Majesty, what General Yuchi said is the same as what I think."

After hearing what Cheng Yaojin said, Li Chengqian raised his lips slightly. He lowered his voice and said, "Generals, you are holding the paper upside down. Please pay attention."

After saying that, he pretended to know nothing, raised his voice, and praised the two of them loudly.

"The two generals are truly worthy of being the heroes of the Tang Dynasty! They truly have their own unique ideas."

Li Chengqian's voice echoed in the Taiji Hall.

When Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin heard the praise, their faces turned red, out of embarrassment, as well as feeling ashamed of the emperor's praise and grateful for his tolerance for not exposing them on the spot.

Li Chengqian praised Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde.

The ministers also had a general idea of ​​the new policies in their hands.

They were slightly stunned, and then raised their heads one by one.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise, confusion and expectation.

The so-called new policy proposed by His Majesty has already caused great uproar in their hearts.

They have been in officialdom for many years and have witnessed countless changes in government policies in history, but this time, it really opened the eyes of these old officials.

It's something I've never seen or heard of before.

If the new policy were really implemented, they couldn't imagine how their dynasty would be recorded in history books.

In their minds, if this new policy is successful, Your Majesty's achievements will probably be more glorious than those of Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang.

They all knew that the only people whose interests would be harmed by this new policy were local officials, aristocratic families, gentry, and landlords.

Among them, the biggest resistance to implementation is undoubtedly the complicated aristocratic families.

Now, His Majesty has completely broken off relations with the aristocratic families, and both sides have reached a life-and-death struggle.

Everyone in the court knew that although the current aristocratic families did not openly rebel, they were making countless small moves in secret.

They were waiting for the moment when the court's knife would be swung towards them.

By then, they can rise up in rebellion with justification, stand at the commanding heights of public opinion, and win the hearts and minds of the people.

However, the imperial court had to bear the infamy of the world and fell into an irretrievable situation.

……

Li Chengqian looked left and right in the court, his eyes full of anticipation.

He waited for a long time, but no one stood up to oppose him. He couldn't help but let out a sigh, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
