The autumn rain lingers in the south of the Yangtze River, and Guanzhong is already grass and trees, and the cold wind is shining.

His Majesty Li Er, who had been in Kunming for a summer, finally returned to Chang'an after the autumn, and the Taiji Palace, which had been idle for several months, was once again lively.

In the Shenlong Temple, the earth dragon was burning hot, and the cold wind outside the window swept through the treetops that had fallen all the leaves, making a sharp sound of "wooing".

Just completed the winter solstice day sacrifice ceremony, His Majesty Li Er left several ministers behind to discuss important matters.

The hall was as warm as spring, His Majesty Li Er sat on the main seat, and ordered the palace maid to serve fragrant tea to several ministers in front of him.

The "winter solstice" was an extremely important festival in ancient times.

In the Zhou and Qin eras, the winter solstice was the first month of the year, and the winter solstice was the first year of the New Year, and the winter solstice was used as a festival to originate from the Han Dynasty, flourish in the Tang and Song dynasties, and follow up to the present.

In the Han Dynasty, the winter solstice was the "winter festival", and the government held a congratulatory ceremony called "He Dong", and the official routine holiday, and the officialdom was popular to congratulate each other on the "winter worship" custom. There is such a record in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: "Before and after the winter solstice, the gentleman is quiet, the officials are desperate, they do not listen to the government, and they choose auspicious days and then save trouble." Therefore, on this day, the court should have a holiday and rest, the army should be on standby, the border was closed, the business and travel were suspended, relatives and friends gave each other food, visited each other, and happily lived a festival of "peace and quietness". During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the winter solstice was called "Ya Sui", and the people had to pay tribute to their parents and elders; After the Song Dynasty, the winter solstice gradually became a festival to worship ancestors and gods.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, the winter solstice was the day to worship the heavens and ancestors, and the emperor had to go to the suburbs on this day to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens, and the people had to worship their parents on this day......

His Majesty Li Er took a sip of hot tea, moved his hands and feet, and asked, "Is there an emergency military report in the north recently?" ”

Every year when the climate is cold, the barbarians outside the Saiwai will enter and plunder to loot the supplies, grain and grass for the winter.

Some time ago, several tribes close to the border of the Tang Dynasty in Tuyuhun had herdsmen enter the country to burn, kill and loot, which greatly disturbed the people, the army and the people, and the military towns of Hezhou and Minzhou played a report in unison, asking the DPRK and China to send troops to support in order to prevent Tuyuhun from being on the border.

Li Ji said solemnly: "Back to Your Majesty, the current situation is acceptable. However, Tuyuhun and Tubo have a severe drought this year, the grain is not abundant, the water and grass are withering, if there is a harsh winter, I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive, Yiweichen has coordinated Qinzhou, Qizhou, Xingzhou, Lizhou, Mianzhou a total of five states of soldiers and horses, each of them to send a group of elite troops to the border, beware of the barbarians without food and clothing, large-scale raiding and plundering, in order to report that the border is foolproof. ”

His Majesty Li Er bowed his head happily.

Since Li Jing took up the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, the DPRK and China have all been in good order and have been able to take precautions and be prepared for any danger on the borders.

His Majesty Li Er nodded, changed the topic, and asked again: "Can the Huating Town City Bo Si have a report to be submitted?" ”

The operation of the city is the first priority at the moment, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a national concern.

Tang Jian, who had just been relocated to the post of secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, a submission was delivered yesterday. In his submission, Hua Tinghou said that everything went smoothly, and that 219 shops had applied for maritime trade qualifications, of which 208 had been approved by the Municipal Department of Shipping and had been issued business licenses. A total of 3.76 million yuan of security deposits were collected, and the tax revenue for the first month is still being counted, and it is expected that there will be about 200,000 yuan. ”

Tang Jian originally planned to say goodbye to the old man after retiring from the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry, but he was formulated by His Majesty Li Er as the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. At first, Tang Jian was reluctant to do it, everyone knew that the Eastern Crusade was imminent, and the imperial court had to cut back on food and clothing, and as the Ministry of Civil Affairs that controlled the financial power of the empire, it was the most important responsibility.

He has already achieved fame, and his children and grandchildren have all entered the government safely, and he has no political aspirations, let alone further ambitions to take charge of the political affairs hall, so he is very resistant.

However, His Majesty Li Er insisted on doing so, and he did not dare to postpone it......

Who would have expected that there would be good news as soon as he took office, and the operation of the Huating Town City Bureau was like a reopening of a coinage division, and there would be hundreds of thousands of yuan of silver money income per month since it began to operate, which greatly alleviated the emptiness and urgency of the treasury of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

This Ministry of Civil Affairs is naturally delicious, and no one in the various yamen should be flattered?

As he reported the number, he heard the sound of inhalation in his ears......

This Fang Jun is simply a god, and there are endless ways to make money, could it be that he is really the reincarnation of the "God of Wealth"?

Coincidentally, everyone subconsciously looked at Fang Xuanling at the lower left of the emperor.

Fang Xuanling was sitting in a precarious position, his eyelids drooping, and his face did not move.

But I couldn't help but complain: How can this bastard kid be so tormented? It's not up to me......

In the "City Shipping Division Planning" submitted by Fang Jun to the Political Affairs Hall, there is no such thing as a "security deposit", which is a trick made up by Fang Jun whimsically, even if it is carried out without the approval of the Political Affairs Hall. It is said that this kind of behavior is absolutely inappropriate, regardless of good and bad things, no one can be unorganized and undisciplined, right?

But this hand is undoubtedly to His Majesty the Emperor, and the most troublesome thing for the Emperor is money......

Fang Xuanling glanced at the color of His Majesty Li Er, thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, this so-called 'security deposit' has not been declared to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, let alone waited for the approval of the Political Affairs Hall. ”

In a word, several ministers who wanted to make a fuss about this matter choked and obediently shut up.

Although the "security deposit" was received by millions of yuan, in the final analysis, this was a decision beyond the scope of Fang Jun's authority after all, which was equivalent to ignoring the laws of the imperial court. Think about it, what would happen if the governors of all the prefectures and counties in the world could set up a false name to collect money without authorization?

Even if this money eventually flows into the state treasury, it will never set such a precedent. This was an excellent opportunity to impeach Fang Jun, even if the emperor was happy, he had to severely punish Fang Jun in accordance with the laws of the imperial court.

But the problem is that Fang Xuanling stood up and personally accused Fang Jun and asked for disposal, so it would be difficult for others to intervene. This is obviously Fang Xuanling's trick to retreat, since he has said that his son should be disposed of, then the emperor's small punishment of pushing the boat down the river, others are definitely not suitable to speak out and increase this punishment.

Unless you want to tear your face with Fang Xuanling, you will be hated by His Majesty the Emperor......

His Majesty Li Er was very happy just now, and he hadn't thought of the trick yet, and he was a little surprised to see Fang Xuanling so "righteous and annihilating relatives", but he understood Fang Xuanling's intention in an instant.

It's just that the emperor disagrees with it in his heart.

figured out the reason why Fang Xuanling was so "self-harming eight hundred", and by extension, why did Fang Jun do this?

Such a brilliant idea, as long as the operation and benefits of it are explained to the court in advance, there is absolutely no reason for the Ministry of Civil Affairs or the Political Affairs Hall or even His Majesty Li Er to stop it.

But why did Fang Jun want to make such a show quietly and privately, and give away such a big handle?

His Majesty Li Er was silent, pondering in his heart.

The ministers were also silent, and the Shenlong Hall seemed a little quiet, except for a slight "sucking" sound when a certain minister picked up a teacup and drank water.

After being silent for a long time, a wry smile appeared on His Majesty Li Er's face, and he understood Fang Jun's intention to do this.

Little bastard, this is emotional......

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." Eldest Sun Wuji opened his mouth and said.

His Majesty Li Er glanced at him and said with a smile: "Auxiliary, you also want to participate in Fang Junyi, so that I can punish him?" ”

With a smile on his face, he was a little tired in his heart.

Anyway, you are also a prince of the country, with countless meritorious achievements, why do you always have trouble with a junior, but whenever you seize an opportunity, you have to fall into the well? At the beginning, the incident of Changsun Chong had nothing to do with Fang Jun, it was Changsun Chong's own unscrupulous mind that led to the final result, just because of this matter, he never forgot to do it right from time to time?

The gas volume is too narrow!

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't seem to understand the meaning of His Majesty Li Er's smile, and said easily: "How could the old minister have such an idea? At this time, strictly speaking, Fang Jun was unstable and messed up the law of the court, and should be punished. But in the end, this is also a good thing, and such a sum of money will definitely fill the treasury, which is also a great achievement. The merits and demerits are offset, and the old minister's meaning is not rewarded or punished, right? However, it can also be seen from this incident that Fang Jun's talent is outstanding, and he is really terrifying, and he is worthy of being the most outstanding talent among the younger generation. Now the chief and deputy directors of Canghai Road have been served, and the city department has also been officially operated, the prospects are gratifying, and the situation in the south of the Yangtze River has achieved unprecedented stability, which is also Fang Jun's indelible credit. The old minister thought that since the situation in Jiangnan had been opened, it was no longer much use for Fang Jun to continue to stay in Jiangnan, and His Majesty had clear rewards and punishments, so why not recall Fang Jun to the capital and entrust him with important tasks to cultivate him in order to reward him for his merits? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was a little surprised.

The grievances between the eldest grandson's family and Fang Jun, who in the entire Guanzhong doesn't know it? The cause of what he said actually has nothing to do with Fang Jun, but the eldest grandson's hatred for Fang Jun has never been hidden.

Why is there a good thing to say about Fang Jun now?

That Fang Jun is now the Marquis of Huating, and his last official position was the head of the Canghai Road March, if he is recalled to Chang'an to "entrust him with a heavy responsibility", what kind of official position does it have to be?

It is estimated that the minimum must be the main position of the six books!

Six books of books that have not yet reached the age of twenty......

Everyone thinks it's weird in their hearts, although there is a twelve-year-old Ganluo in front of the beautiful jade, but Ganluo was only named "Shangqing" by the King of Qin, and his status is equivalent to that of the prime minister, but in fact it is an honorary title and has no real power.

Now Datang is about to usher in a real power of six Shangshu who is less than twenty years old?

Just as he was in doubt, he suddenly heard a person say loudly: "Your Majesty, you must not!" ”
