Chapter 336: Transfer of Power (1st Update)
Huan Ji felt that there were some things that had to be studied by all the people of the earth, so she wanted to create a large diplomatic department for Tang officials to live in the powerful imperial dynasties of the world. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In this way, they can learn about the cultures of different countries, as well as the human civilizations created by different countries.
Huan Ji rarely attends cabinet meetings these days, and this time she appeared, and many people were speculating about what she was going to do.
At a cabinet meeting, Huan Ji said: "I have always advocated the opening of the coast, not the isolation of the country. Every country has its own merits, including those that are not as rich as us. ”
Huan Ji looked at someone with a disapproving expression, and continued: "We can't be complacent, we always feel that we are the best in the world, I have gone to other countries over the years, I went to the Arab Empire, to the Holy Roman Empire, and to the American and British Empire. Each of these empires has something to learn from and learn from, so I want to form a diplomatic department, and they will be stationed in various countries, and when we are our eyes, we will monitor the activities of their sergeants, and study and study their lives and cultures. What do you think? ”
A number of cabinet and parliamentary officials have listened stupidly.
Some people think that this idea is too good, it is even better than attacking their country, which is the so-called attacking the heart.
Some people think that this is a redundant move and a waste of manpower and material resources, not to mention that they have something to learn from Datang, which is now a country.
Some people think that the reason why Princess Huanji has so many strange ideas is probably related to the fact that the ancestor and her traveled around. It is undeniable that today's Datang is very good, although the emperor's power is small, but he is not so tired, and he can be a permanent emperor, no matter what the direction of Datang is in the future, the royal position of the Li family will not be shaken.
In the end, it was unanimously passed, and the main thing is that this is not a big deal, anyway, now that the treasury has money, such a small trouble is not tossed with the royal princess. Thinking that one of Li Dan's princesses built a princess mansion back then and could use up the treasury, the courtiers just dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, but now they have more rights than then, what else is there to worry about.
And so it was.
Because of the participation of the little emperor, Huan Ji doesn't have to worry about someone having nothing to do in the future. It is estimated that there are people who want to find trouble, and they don't dare to do it this year.
Huan Ji and his wife take the little emperor with them wherever they go now, although many of the little emperors don't understand. For example, let them go to various countries to see if there are any people who are inventing, whether it is industry, agriculture or commerce, Huan Ji has them all involved.
After the batch of outstanding talents summoned by this department went abroad, Huan Ji took the little emperor and several ministers of the cabinet to visit various places.
After a few years, they went to the Tang Army and inspected the ranks;
They went to the Yellow River, and the little emperor personally added a handful of loess to the Yellow River embankment.
Huan Ji told him that when he grew up, he should also want to come here often, to see if the embankment is stable, and to see if the people are living a prosperous life.
Huan Ji also took the little emperor to the impoverished mountainous area, and she told the little emperor that when he could, he should open up the road from here to the outside world, so that they could become rich; They also went to Shanhaiguan and the Grand Canyon, and Huan Ji told him the story of the war back then, telling him that only when the army is strong, other countries dare not provoke the Tang Dynasty, if because of the strength of the Tang Dynasty, the importance of literature and light military force, then the wealth of the Tang Dynasty is nothing more than a piece of fat pork in the eyes of others.
The little emperor laughed when he heard it, no minister had ever dared to compare the Tang Dynasty to fatty pork, and then he saw Huan Ji's serious gaze, stopped laughing, and nodded solemnly. "My grandson remembers my aunt's teachings."
Huan Ji touched the emperor's head and said: "Isn't Grandmother too strict, you are still so young, you have to manage so many things, if you can in the future, you will delegate more power, a good superior person as long as he thinks correctly and can appoint sages." ”
The emperor listened carefully, although he didn't understand very well, but he knew that what his aunt and grandmother said were very important.
In the end, Huan Ji also took the little emperor to attend the wedding of the common people, and they went secretly, which was a small village not far from Jingshi.
Although the village is not very wealthy, the people here have been very satisfied over the years, and the people are grateful to the emperor and the court in their hearts.
The little emperor pretended to be an ordinary person and listened to their heartfelt gratitude to the court, and his gratitude to him was beautiful in his heart.
When the emperor went back, he said to the Empress Dowager Xian: "Queen Mother, do you know that the people outside like me very much, and they got married in addition to worshipping heaven and earth, but also worshipping the Tang Dynasty." ”
Every time the emperor comes back from a trip, he will tell the Empress Dowager about what they have seen and heard, and at first the Empress Dowager Xian was still a little worried about the emperor's safety, in their position, everyone is afraid. When the emperor came back happily for the first time and told her about the journey, the Empress Dowager's heart relaxed.
The more time passed, the more the Empress Dowager Xian realized the wisdom of the emperor, and if she had been someone else, she would have established herself as the emperor a long time ago.
There are always endless things to be done in the court, and there are endless reports to deal with, and Huan Ji slowly handed over the power to the emperor.
When things were settled, Huan Ji and the emperor had a long talk.
Huan Ji said, "My aunt and grandmother are old and want to go home. ”
The emperor said: "You are the princess of the first Taizu, isn't this your home?" ”
Huan Ji smiled and took the emperor's hand and said, "How old are you this year?" ”
The emperor said: The grandson is thirteen years old this year, and it has been ten years since he ascended the throne. ”
Huan Ji sighed: "It's been ten years in a blink of an eye, you may not know when you're young, your aunt and grandmother are not your grandfather's own princess, when we met, my aunt didn't know their identities, and as a result, she became a princess in a daze." ”
The emperor's mouth opened wide in shock, as if he had heard something incredible.
Huan Ji smiled, "Is it difficult to understand? How do you think your father would hand over the Tang Dynasty and you to a person with a foreign surname? ”
The emperor nodded embarrassedly.
Huan Ji said: "It's nothing, many people think so." Your queen mother knows about this, and you can ask her when you have time. When you ascended the throne, you were young, and your aunt and grandmother guarded the country for you, and now that you are older, you will become an adult in two years, and your aunt and grandmother will give you a coming-of-age ceremony in advance. As she spoke, she took a box from the table and gave it to the emperor, "Open it and take a look." ”
The emperor opened it and exclaimed: "It's the jade seal and the talisman." ”
Huan Ji nodded and said, "Today I will return the intact Tang Dynasty to you, hoping that you can treat the people well and be a good emperor." ”
The emperor was shocked to the outside, he and his mother had already discussed this issue, and they had been preparing to let the eldest princess of Huanji reign until she was eighty years old. (To be continued.) )
