"My father is in a hurry to summon the teacher, what is the matter?"

Princess Changle looked at Manager Yang and asked.

"If you go back to Her Royal Highness the princess, the old slave doesn't know what His Majesty summoned the Hou Ye, but he is in a hurry, so let the old slave come over immediately to spread the word."

"Okay, I got it. Wait for me to bring the rhubarb and ride into the palace together. ”

Tao Ran said with a smile.

"You two can go back to lunch, you don't have to wait for the teacher." Tao Ran turned around and explained to Changle and Wu Lu.

"Our family doesn't dare to ride into the palace with Hou Ye, Hou Ye's rhubarb is the first god horse in the world, and he has the privilege of entering and leaving the palace freely, our family doesn't dare!"

After Mr. Yang finished speaking, he stepped on horseback, and Tao Ran also brought Rhubarb and left Nanshan College with Mr. Yang.

After the two little girls watched the teacher disappear without a trace, they reluctantly walked towards the academy.

Tao Ran rode on the back of Rhubarb's horse and came to the Lizheng Hall directly according to Manager Yang's explanation.

"Bang, boom." Rhubarb arrived at the Lizheng Hall and saw that no one came out to greet him, and hissed in displeasure.

"It must be that Chang'an Hou has arrived, and when you listen to the voice, you will know that it is the neighing of rhubarb, and it is really a divine horse that is too spiritual."

Empress Eldest Sun said with sincere admiration.

"Yes, thanks to it, our Changle was able to get out of Lu Yunfei's control without danger, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

Now that I think about it, His Majesty Li Er still has palpitations.

As he spoke, Tao Ran had already slowly entered the Lizheng Palace.

"Minister, Chang'an Marquis Taoran, see Your Majesty, see Queen Mother." Tao Ran respectfully saluted and opened his mouth to worship.

"Chang'an Hou comes, sit beside me." His Majesty Li Er had already asked the palace maid to set up a stool for Tao Ran to sit on.

"Today, I will talk about the vast steppe land of the two major Turkic tribes, and how to manage it in the future?"

When Tao Ran sat down by the stove, His Majesty Li Er spoke.

Hearing His Majesty Li Er's question, Tao Ran couldn't help laughing, he knew both the plot and the script, it was not too simple, it was just that he personally advanced the plot in the script by a few years.

Tao Ran immediately pretended to be in a state of contemplation, but in fact, he already had a countermeasure and an answer in his heart.

His Majesty Li Er and Empress Eldest Sun did not disturb Tao Ran who was pondering, they knew that this young man had incomparable wisdom and decisiveness, maybe what he said in the next second would be enough to change His Majesty Li Er's current embarrassment.

"Your Majesty's ministers thought that they could set up a capital protectorate in the two major tribes of Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan."

Tao Ran said calmly.

"Oh, Aiqing, please continue." His Majesty Li Er's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly urged.

"Set up the Anxi Protectorate in the area south of the Tianshan Mountains ruled by Jieli Khan, and set up the Beiting Protectorate in the area north of the Tianshan Mountains ruled by Tuli Khan."

Tao Ran smiled and looked at His Majesty Li Er and said.

"Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate. Haha······ Haha······ What Chang'an Hou said is a bit interesting, I don't know what Aiqing's suggestions for this official configuration? ”

His Majesty Li Er's eyebrows fluttered and he asked, he had been moved by Tao Ran's configuration in his heart, and he was ecstatic in his heart.

"As for the issue of the allocation of officials, the ministers dare not say anything, but each metropolitan protector must be equipped with at least one governor, who is responsible for appointing officials at all levels, commanding the border defense army, and implementing His Majesty's decrees. In order to better develop the economy of the two capitals, His Majesty can send troops to build roads, so that the economy and materials of the interior and the two capitals can be exchanged, and together they can promote the development of the entire Tang economy·····"

"·····"

His Majesty Li Er and Empress Eldest Sun gasped at the same time, this suggestion was simply perfect, impeccable.

After a long time, His Majesty Li Er spoke.

"I owe you a reward, I don't know when I will be able to cash it out for you? Thanks to the queen reminding me to summon you, I have solved one of my thoughts. Well, it's understandable that you don't want to reward me, but if you can, I hope to send a young talent by your side to serve in these two capitals, and I believe that your vision cannot be wrong. ”

His Majesty Li Er's words made Tao Ran's heart move, now Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang can be on their own, if they can serve as the governor of Anxi or Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, it will be a step to the sky.

For the two of them, the future development path is tantamount to being more like a fish in water.

"Your Majesty, the minister has two disciples who are really capable of taking on the responsibilities of these two protectors, so I don't know if Your Majesty will reuse them?"

Tao Ran replied slowly.

"There must be one Ma Zhou you said, this is true, who is the other one? Could it be the brightness of the Zhijie family? ”

His Majesty Li Er asked.

"Your Majesty Shengming, Ma Zhou is indeed the best candidate in Weichen's heart, and the other is Liu Renliang, Your Majesty can test his knowledge and opinions after seeing it, if it is not in line with the holy will, Weichen will never say it again."

Tao Ran said solemnly.

"Yes, I promise you. The person recommended by Aiqing, if I don't believe it anymore, then there is probably no one I can trust in the entire court. ”

His Majesty Li Er said with emotion.

Tao Ran also felt hot in his heart when he heard this, it seems that His Majesty still trusts him very much, which makes him more determined that his future goals and the direction of his efforts are right.

"Aiqing, it's lunch time now, let's dine with me and the queen in this Lizheng Hall today, I should also invite you once, although the food here is not as delicious as the food in your Nanshan Academy."

"Minister, it's a great honor. Thank you for your majesty's love and the queen's mother. ”

Tao Ran accepted it calmly.

"Chief Manager Yang sent someone to inform the prime minister, Shangshu, Imperial Doctor and others all went to the imperial study after lunch to wait for me, and I have urgent matters to discuss."

His Majesty Li Er turned to Yang Hao and explained to Chief Yang Yang.

"Your Majesty, the old slave will go and convey Your Majesty's message."

Mr. Yang respectfully stepped back and went to arrange for his subordinates to pass on the decree, and he went to the imperial dining room to explain that the imperial dining room would cook a few more good dishes, and His Majesty and the queen would entertain the guests.

Tao Ran also ate the lunch at noon, Tao Ran is not a picky person, the hard days of his childhood in the previous life have come, so he knows the meaning of cherishing the two words even more.

"Chang'anhou is still used to eating this meal? I see what you eat is delicious. ”

After His Majesty Li Er was full, he wiped his mouth and spoke.

"Your Majesty, even if you eat dry biscuits for your ministers, your ministers also feel fragrant, and Your Majesty's gifts are good."

Tao Ran's words made the eldest grandson and queen couldn't help but hide her face and smile.

"It's almost time, you can also go to the imperial study with me, I still can't explain clearly, it's better for you to explain it simply and clearly."

His Majesty Li Er looked at Tao Ran and said with a smile.

"The ministers obey the holy commandment." Tao Ran replied respectfully.

So when His Majesty Li Er entered the imperial study, the ministers bowed down to pay respects, and when they raised their heads, they found that there was a young talent behind His Majesty Li Er.

"I, I'm in a hurry to gather you here now, Zhong Aiqing must be very strange, right? What's even more strange is why the Marquis of Chang'an came to the imperial study with me, right? ”

His Majesty Li Er looked around at the ministers and smiled before speaking.

"Come, Marquis Chang'an. I will tell the ministers in detail about the establishment of the Protectorate in the south and north of the Tianshan Mountains. ”

So Tao Ran redescribed the suggestions he had made with His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun before lunch.

When Tao Ran finished speaking, the entire imperial study was silent.

Prime Minister Fang Xuanling, the monk Du Ruhui, and the imperial historian Wei Zheng and others have always maintained their own talents, and it was not until they heard Tao Ran's suggestion that they found that compared with this young man, their old foxes were indeed a little old······

His Majesty Li Er looked around at the shocked and incomparably shocked ministers, and his heart was settled, it seemed that the proposal to set up the capital protectorate was very satisfactory and reasonable, otherwise these important ministers should have opposed it loudly at this time.

"Zhong Aiqing, what do Aiqing think?"

His Majesty Li Er finally broke the silence of the imperial study and asked.

The ministers were awakened from shock by His Majesty Li Er's voice.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the proposal of the Marquis of Chang'an is not only feasible, but also very feasible, it is really a perfect suggestion, and the minister has no objection."

Prime Minister Fang Xuanling was the first to open his mouth and praised.

"Minister, there is no objection, this kind of suggestion is honest, even if the minister thinks hard for a lifetime, he may not be able to come up with it."

Imperial Doctor Wei Zheng immediately echoed.

"There is no objection from the ministers." The other ministers looked at each other and then agreed.

"Haha...... Ha ha...... I know that this is the situation, because I also feel that this suggestion is very perfect at present, maybe there will be such and such problems in the future, we can improve in the actual implementation, the purpose of today's I urgently summoned everyone to come, the most important thing is this Chang'an Hou's suggestion, and the other is that Chang'an Hou recommended two of his students to go to the Western Regions, one is Ma Zhou, everyone knows, and the other is Liu Renliang, I have no objection to Chang'anhou's recommendation, and the young talents above the court are in short supply. If Zhong Aiqing has no objections, the matter will be decided, and after the punishment of Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan tomorrow, they will arrange for them to take some reserve officials to the Western Regions to establish the Metropolitan Protectorate. ”

His Majesty Li Er said solemnly.

"Your Majesty is sage, everything is up to Your Majesty, and the ministers have no objections."

All the ministers are like mirrors in their hearts, and Your Majesty Li Er said without hesitation, there is no objection to these two candidates, we might as well be a favor, isn't it clear that raising objections at this time is against the Marquis of Chang'an?

Everyone is not stupid, although Chang'an Hou is young, but whether it is character or talent, he has recently been praised by hundreds of officials.

The self-run academy alone is not comparable to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Now that he is the dean of Nanshan Academy, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess respect him as a teacher, and it is not good to offend him at this time.

So the problem that troubled His Majesty Li Er and the ministers for a few days was easily solved by Tao Ran.

Tomorrow, after the beheading of the Khan of Jieli and the Khan of Tuli, as well as the Khatun of the two of them, it will be officially put on the agenda.

In the future, what we will discuss is nothing more than appointing those who will go to hone in their later lives, and we can't let Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang, one person and one bare-pole commander, go to take office!

"Well, since everyone has no objections, this matter is settled. Chang'an Hou returned to the academy and explained the matter to your two students clearly, it is best to explain to them carefully how to be a metropolitan governor of the Metropolitan Protectorate, I believe you will be able to do it. ”

His Majesty Li Er solemnly admonished.

"Minister, I will live up to Your Majesty's trust, and I will do what Your Majesty asks when I go back."

Tao Ran respectfully retreated, stepped on the back of the rhubarb's horse, and stepped away in the envious eyes of the ministers.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, only rhubarb can enter and leave the palace freely, which is really not too cool.

Tao Ran knew that he had been stained with a lot of rhubarb recently, so the grain and grass prepared for rhubarb had also been raised to a higher level, making the hair that rhubarb had eaten more and more beautiful recently.

When he returned to Nanshan College, the academy had already started classes, and Wu Cong was the only one practicing skiing in the snow.

Seeing Tao Ran coming back, he came on skis from afar.

"Teacher, you're back. Hua Gu is about to kill you. ”

Wu Cong pouted and spoke.

Tao Ran laughed dumbly when she heard this, and this little girl's mouth became sweeter than honey.

"Aunt Hua, the teacher will not be there for a while, you will run down by yourself and be lazy, did you not write a word today?"

Tao Ran asked with a serious face.

As soon as Wu Cong saw that Tao Ran was really coming, his face immediately turned ugly.

"Teacher, Hua Gu is going to write after playing for a while, but I never thought that I would just be caught by the teacher, and Hua Gu will not dare in the future."

"This is your own promise, the teacher is not not giving you time to play, it is not good to play too much, next time the teacher will be really angry."

"Well, Hua Gu doesn't dare anymore."

Wu Cong nodded vigorously and replied.

Tao Ran turned over and dismounted, and after taking Rhubarb back to the stable, he returned to Nanshan Academy with Wu Cong.

Back in the teacher's room, Wu Cong immediately began to study obediently.

Tao Ran was also thinking about how the child could communicate with Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang, they would definitely be able to accept it when they went to the Western Regions, but they were still a little immature without a little experience in officialdom.

It seems that I still have a long way to go as a teacher!

With a bald mouth, he recommended the best two students, and now that he thinks about it, Tao Ran doesn't know whether to be happy or sad......

When Miss Wen'er brought dinner, Tao Ran told her to convey Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang to come to Tao Ran's room after dinner.

Miss Wen'er happily agreed, and after placing the food on the table for Tao Ran, she quietly left Tao Ran's room.

"Brother Ma, Brother Liu, Master Hou asked the two of you to go to the room to find him after dinner."

Miss Wen'er came to Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang's room and spoke at the door.
