"Speaking of which, Brother Huang, you shouldn't be able to leave the East Palace casually now, what excuse did you use to come to the academy today?"

Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Chengqian didn't know what to say.

"What do you mean by excuses? Now that the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, all families are worshipping their ancestors, and I came to the academy to worship Master Li. ”

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian was angry, when he sent the commander to the East Palace, he drove him away, and now that Li Shi has died, the East Palace has begun to restore its power, and Zuo Chunfang immediately transferred a large number of officials. Compared with these guys who want to show their presence even if they play with their lives, Kong Yingda is already a good person.

After all, Kong Yingda was added as the new prince and prince, and he only occasionally asked him to comment on ancient things. And those commanders, from getting up to sleeping, no matter what they see that is not pleasing to the eye, they must take care of it, so that he will not tire of it.

Seeing the impatient appearance of the imperial brother, Li Tai suddenly felt a relative. He is relatively leisurely now, and in the palace, except for the occasional movement of the head of the guard, he does not dare to care about him.

Li Ke feels the same way, unlike Li Tai, his side is full of officials sent by the emperor, what he does, it is estimated that there are special people to analyze, but if there is anything abnormal, it will be sent to the emperor's desk.

Besides, such a topic is a bit deep, and after the three brothers drank the tea in the cup, they agreed to climb the mountain together tomorrow morning.

The next morning, the weather was a little gloomy, but he had already decided to pay homage to the old man's brothers, and despite the advice of the subordinate officials and guards, he insisted on going up the mountain.

Crystal elbow, braised pork, dumplings with three fresh fillings....

There was a lot of food, and there were some pieces of paper that recorded the events, but there was no paper money.

Before the old gentleman left, he told him that when he went to the grave in the future, he didn't need to burn paper money, even if he sat on the grave and talked, it was much more useful than burning those things.

Li Anren has been living here for a long time, and according to the etiquette system, he has to keep filial piety for three years.

Seeing the three princes, the king of Wei and the king of Wu visiting as scheduled? Li Anren greeted him.

"I've seen three highnesses." 、

Looking at a grave without a single weed? Li Chengqian nodded and said to Li Anren: "Before Master Li died? Didn't you tell you not to guard the grave? Although Mr. College said that one more is not much, but you are going to teach and educate people? The old man is also happy. ”

Li Anren smiled bitterly: "Keeping filial piety for three years is a way for the living to express their remembrance, and the Li family is passed down from generation to generation?" How early did my father die? I'm the only one left, and there's no one to replace me. ”

Three years of filial piety, although it is a long time, but at this time no one regards this as a face-saving job. Although Li Chengqian felt that Zai Yu's attitude was wrong? Doing the right thing? However, Confucius's words can be regarded as completely condemning the rule of "keeping filial piety for three years" to death.

This kind of thing can't be said for a reason, it's all right or wrong determined by subjective consciousness.

"Master Li, during the time you have been there, a lot of big things have happened? It's all written in the letter, if you can receive it? Just remember to send a reply letter from Tuomeng. Still, for so long? Except for the time when you first left, I visited your disciple's dream, and I haven't seen you come at any other time? Could it be that another world is so colorful? ”

"The position of the prince? Isn't the disciple going to give it to someone else? If the Chinese want to take fewer detours, they need to go to the right path many years in advance, and nothing can set things right more than a correct leader, the emperor. ”

....

After chattering for a long time, Li Chengqian left the cemetery with an umbrella.

Some words can be said in front of Li Tai and others, but some words can only be thought about in the heart, and can only be said to Li Gang.

I don't know when the emperor rewarded the officials with the food of the East Palace during the New Year's Festival, which became an extreme expression of honor, and the officials were all proud of being rewarded by the emperor.

It's the same with zongzi.

However, it was difficult for her to let the cook of the East Palace take the share of hundreds of officials alone, so Li Chengqian had to command the cooks in the imperial dining room to make it, and then reward it.

On this day of the Dragon Boat Festival, hundreds of officials gathered in a spacious area of Weishui with slow water flow to race dragon boats.

The banquet was held on a hill with a clear view of the arena.

"Hehehe, the prince himself took the lead, and I don't know what promise the prince gave them to make them work so hard."

"Fang Xiang, your family's team is not bad, it is estimated that it will soon be able to catch up with the pro-rate."

Chatting and eating at the same time, this day can be said to be a rare rest day for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the emperor.

"During the peaceful years, we can't relax, and we practice a lot on weekdays, so that when the war starts, we won't be on the edge of the battle to sharpen our guns. Mowgli, I heard that you cut the budget of the military department by 10% to fill the people's livelihood? It's just nonsense, the Tang Dynasty has fought a hundred battles to build the country, and you should know the importance of the army, three provinces and six departments, but the budget of the military department cannot be cut! ”

Hearing the emperor's words, the eldest grandson Wuji was expressionless, just holding a wine glass to receive the order, but it was Fang Xuanling and the others who were nervous. Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, many official roads in various places have been abandoned, and it takes a lot of money to repair and reopen them. However, no one dared to touch the money and food in the treasury for disaster relief, and they had no choice but to start from the military headquarters.

During the Taiping period, it was a great waste to maintain all the armies to maintain drills, after all, when the Eastern Turks were suppressed, the Tang Dynasty did not dispatch all the troops.

Now the emperor's words made them understand that the emperor did not intend to compromise on the matter of maintaining the exercise. Today's dragon boat racing event is probably also arranged because of this incident.

Seeing the appearance of Fang Xuanling and the others, Li Chengqian took a sip of wine with an expressionless face, but smiled in his heart.

How can the emperor's father have so many thoughts, in fact, he is crazy in the palace and needs some pastime. Qujiangchi is too close, and you have to go back to the palace in less than a day. But Weishui is different, the distance of more than 50 miles is considered to be the emperor's trip, and it takes three days to come and go, and the emperor can have a whole day to play.

But it's a pity that the ministers didn't let him get on the boat in person, and now he can only watch the game here, but his heart is itchy.

Seeing the emperor's father waving to him, Li Chengqian put down his wine glass and walked to the side of the dragon case to make a gesture of listening to the teachings.

"Cheng Qian, I sent you a lot of important folds two days ago, and your approval is very appropriate, you said, if all the twists and turns are handed over to you, can you handle them?"

"Back to my father, my sons are young, and they are not enough to take on this important responsibility."

Although he was puzzled why this guy asked this, Li Chengqian still told the truth.

It's no problem to deal with the twists and turns in the commercial category, after all, the vision is there, but other twists and turns, if it weren't for the first approval of the six Shangshu and Fang Xuanling, it would be very difficult for him to even figure it out.

Self-knowledge must be there, and it is foolish to take it all over.

"Well, I'm thinking about it."

After speaking, Li Shimin waved his hand.

Li Chengqian walked back confused, very confused.

The emperor's father never did something meaningless, and even if he did, he would usually find a reason for himself to do so afterwards.

Q: Can I handle political affairs? Why do you ask this?

With a strong doubt, Li Chengqian took a sip of wine, and then engraved this question deeply in his heart.

"The crown prince himself wins!"

Li Jian, who was in charge of watching the event, shouted the result in a lengthened voice.

Suddenly, the civil and military officials raised their glasses at the same time to congratulate the crown prince of the East Palace on his victory.

Li Chengqian smiled and raised his glass to respond one by one, this time it was the attacking team led by Liu Mang who played the game, and after more than five years of running-in, even if many of his team members were new players who were added later, they still became intimate.

The method of military training has now been extended to all military governments in the Tang Dynasty, and as for whether the local government has the ability to ensure the nutrition of soldiers, it is not something he can know.

In the six years of Zhenguan's Tang Dynasty, although the national strength cannot be said to be thriving, it can still invigorate the surrounding enemy countries.

The feast of the Dragon Boat Festival, although lively, is the same as usual.

Li Chengqian sadly found that he seemed to have begun to lose his freedom, and every morning after the morning exercise, he needed to start watching the recital with the assistance of Kong Yingda, and sometimes, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others would also move the office space to the East Palace for a day or two. On the folds that the court handles every day, almost half of them will be blessed with the seal of the prince.

"Your Highness, you see, this is a recital sent by Feng An, the Duke of Geng Guo, and the bureaucrats rebelled, and he led the troops to pacify it. After the war is over, if it is the mainland, it is necessary to send security officials to appease the people affected by the war and restore local law and order as soon as possible. And the generals who lead the troops to fight also need to disperse the government troops and return to the place where the troops are stationed with standing troops. The division of civil and military rule, this is the rule, generals can only be responsible for combat, civilian officials can only be responsible for government affairs, no matter which side exceeds the authority, it is a felony.

However, Feng Ang is different, the land of Lingnan was originally his final say, and the military and government were all grasped with one hand. Therefore, there is no need to interfere more, and the DPRK and China only need to issue a decree and commend it. ”

While reading the folds, I also had to listen to Fang Xuanling's explanation. I don't get impatient, but when I listen to it a lot, I feel tired. Because what they say, he needs to remember it firmly.

Sent to Chang'an with the fold, there is also a letter from Feng An, just look at the fire paint on it is intact, you know that no one has opened it.

Ignoring Fang Xuanling's curious gaze, Li Chengqian received the letter on the table.

This letter must be about the harbor, and before it takes shape, Li Chengqian does not intend to reveal this matter to the noble group, especially a smart person like Fang Xuanling.

Nowadays, the sea is still wild, and some local families have a little power on the coastline at most, and they don't fart when they go out to sea.

When developing, the most taboo is to rush up, and when there is a lack of interests, you can't add too many eaters.

Fang Xiang, Feng Ang wrote to Gu, probably hoping to obtain the right to sell spirits in Lingnan. When he left, he copied the recipe, but he could only brew it for his own use, not sell it. Lingnan people say too much, little and too much, presumably he also wants to add an industry to the Feng family. ”

"Winemaking, hehe, doesn't Lao Chen often visit Lao Cheng's winery now? I'm used to drinking high-grade wine, although I can't stand that stamina, but drinking three pulp and other wines is like drinking horse urine. Don't talk about such a disgusting thing, I don't know what the food in the East Palace is today? Now that the heat is unbearable, Lao Chen really has no appetite. ”

Li Chengqian glanced at Zhang Yun helplessly, and Zhang Yun went to the kitchen and restaurant to prepare meals.

Now a few people who have come to "train" him, even if they will return to the government office that day, they will have to have a meal before leaving, which makes him want to open a new restaurant in Chang'an.

There are no luxurious dishes, just cold noodles and stuffed skin, but Fang Xuanling was so addicted to eating that he obviously said that he had no appetite, but he still ate three bowls in a row.

After eating and wiping his mouth, he took the music he had already processed back to Zhongshu Province, and it was Wei Zheng who would come to replace him in the afternoon.

Wei Zheng is now a servant, one of the two bigwigs in Menxia Province, because of his existence, many of the emperor's decrees will be blocked by Menxia Province even if they pass through Zhongshu Province. Li Chengqian was very suspicious that the emperor's father brought Wei Zheng to Menxia Province in order to add weight to himself, so as not to jump too much. After all, now the only people in the court who dare to do anything with him are Wei Zheng and a few others.

Compared with Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng brought a lot less twists and turns, because some important twists and turns still need to be approved by the emperor before they will be sent to Menxia Province.

"Your Highness, the duty of the province is to take charge of the emperor's order and etiquette. All the affairs of the state are related to the general counsel of the Zhongshu Order, and the judgment is provincial. All orders issued by His Majesty need to be reviewed by the Zhongshu Province before they can be sent to the Shangshu Province for execution. No matter what His Majesty does, the fact that he can send Wei Chen to the position of the servant shows that he is still very wise. Since ancient times, there have been few emperors who dare to criticize themselves, and His Majesty is one of them. ”

Li Chengqian stuffed the brush into his mouth!

This turned out to be what Wei Zheng said? It's shocking, isn't it?

As if knowing how shocking his speech was, Wei Zheng smiled slightly, didn't say anything more, but sat in his chair and began to deal with government affairs.

The work of Menxia Province is actually very labor-saving, and the twists and turns they have received have already been approved by the sixth, the Chinese book and the emperor, and they only need to read it once to see if there are any omissions.

Whenever Wei Zheng finished reading one, he would submit it to Li Chengqian and ask him to see what the emperor's approval was like.

After reading the letters and turns, Li Chengqian was still a little shocked. Li Shimin is undoubtedly one of the sons of the family, but he is very familiar with many things, including farming. The disputes at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the multi-party conquests after the founding of the People's Republic of China certainly made him tired, but at the same time they also broadened his horizons, so that the decisions he made many times were very in line with the people's livelihood and public opinion.

Unconsciously, he watched a lot of twists and turns, but when Li Chengqian finished reading the last twist and turn, he saw that Wei Zheng did not send a new one, so he looked at the opposite side.

Opposite the desk, Wei Zheng held a piece of music and frowned, and he didn't know how long he had been looking at it.

"Doctor Wei, what is it that makes you need such research?"

Li Chengqian's voice woke up Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng sighed, handed over the fold in his hand and said, "Your Majesty is no longer worried about the palace, Chang'an, and even the surroundings of Chang'an. Before the holiday, the minister also wondered why His Majesty would rather contribute to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the matter of traveling in Weishui, but also seek the near and far, and now it seems that this is clearly a temptation. ”

Li Chengqian, who took over this chapter, read the recital.

This letter is from the history of Qizhou Thorn, indicating that the palace of Qizhou has been renovated and is suitable for living.

It's not a big deal, there are royal palaces everywhere, and Qizhou is also regarded as Tongzhou Dayi between Chang'an and Longyou Road, so how about building a palace? What's more, many of the palaces in the Tang Dynasty were still built by Emperor Yang of Sui, and Li Tang did not rebuild, but took over the inheritance of his predecessors, but only renovated, which was already very frugal.

"Doctor Wei, isn't it just the renovation of a palace? Isn't Jiucheng Palace also being renovated and built recently? I didn't see you stop it. If it is very hot this summer, the father and emperor will still go to the Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer, and the Chinese martial arts members of the dynasty will also follow. ”

Wei Zheng shook his head: "That's not what I said, Your Highness, at the beginning, Your Majesty changed the Dragon Boat Festival banquet to Qujiangchi, which is not a big deal, and this year it is not a big deal to change it to the Weishui River, but next year he will go to Qizhou, as long as it is successful, believe it or not, in another year he will go to Jinzhou in Shannan Province, and in another year, he will go to Jiangnan Province." ”

After listening to Wei Zheng's words, Li Chengqian unconsciously formed a picture in his mind, that is, an egret stretching its legs by the water.

What Lao Wei Tou said seems to be really reasonable. The emperor repeatedly increased his travel distance, perhaps just to go further. If no one stopped him, maybe he would even go to the battlefield.

No, not perhaps, yes, definitely! After all, he really drove the expedition to Goryeo!

"Although Your Majesty can be regarded as the king of the Holy Ming, but sometimes he can't bear the utilitarianism in his heart, and the minister feels that he is likely to want to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen!"

Speaking of Mount Tai Feng Chan, Li Chengqian remembered that this was introduced by Li Gang.

Sima Qian clearly listed twelve ancient emperors in the "Historical Records and Feng Zen Book": Wuhuai, Fuxi, Shennong, Yandi, Huangdi, Zhuan, Emperor, Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, and Zhou Chengwang, but since the Shang Dynasty, it can be clearly verified that there are only three emperors who have really held a ceremony in Mount Tai: Zhao Zheng, the first emperor of Qin, Liu Che, the filial piety emperor of Han Shizong, and Liu Xiu, the Guangwu emperor of Han Shizu.

Mount Tai's sealing of Zen is the most unbearable temptation for an emperor, after all, it is a great glory comparable to the ancient sages. With Li Shimin's proud character, in the face of such a temptation, he will drool when he hides in the bed!

"Isn't it just a trip to Mount Tai, and it's good to treat it as a publicly-funded tour. Dr. Wei, why are you so jealous? ”

At this time, Li Chengqian hoped that his father could get his wish. After all, this is a rare opportunity to go out of Chang'an, at least, he doesn't want the Eastern Turkic War to become the most profound "travel" memory of his life.
