Wearing a fur fur that is said to be a bearskin, Zhang Yunwen and his two brothers sat in the side hall drinking tea.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen my two brothers for more than half a year. Since the Xuanwumen Incident, the two elder brothers have been appointed as the Guoyi Lieutenants of a Zhichong Mansion in Chang'an Mansion. This is a central palace with 1,000 soldiers. Lieutenant Guo Yi is an official position at the top of the sixth rank, and the two of them also hold the title of General Guide from the bottom of the fifth rank, so they can also be called generals. However, the general in the back is a loose official, and he is not as good as Captain Guo Yi in front.

When the Xuanwu Gate was the beginning, the two elder brothers defended the city on the Xuanwu Gate, and when Xue Wanche led the troops to attack, the two killed a total of thirteen people. If it is calculated according to merit, it can be regarded as the 800 soldiers who have more strokes.

When Li Shimin knew that the purpose of the Liu brothers in the army was just to become a general, and then to return with a beauty, he took the idea of adult beauty and directly promoted the two to guerrilla generals with a stroke of his pen. also said that when the two got married, they would definitely come for a drink! Immediately embarrassed the two of them and their faces turned red.

"I said the third child, when will you go to find a daughter-in-law and come back! Look at you, you're eighteen this year, and you're still alone! Liu Wu said.

As soon as these words fell, Liu Yong said: "If my second child and I become a family and move out, you don't even have a partner to talk to!" ”

Zhang Yunwen suddenly rolled his eyes: "Now that you have been in the barracks, what's the difference between moving out and moving out!" Although he thought so, he still said: "Who said that, isn't Yang Chang just a speaker!" Besides, I was at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and the four realms were unstable, and there would be battles in the future! ”

Liu Wu ignored him, and said to Liu Yong: "Well, boss, what about the girl who ran to our house every day in those days?" ”

Liu Yong touched his beard: "Very good, good-looking, good-tempered!" But it looks sick, and I don't know if I can have a baby in the future? ”

Zhang Yunwen was suddenly a little puzzled: "Big brother and second brother, what are you talking about?" ”

"Find you a family affair!"

"Well, what do you think of that girl named Li Yu?"

Zhang Yunwen immediately understood who the two of them were referring to when they said "good-looking, good-tempered, sickly" girl, and suddenly said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, two brothers, they are thirteen-year-old girls, don't say that they are going to spread all over the city, and it is not good for people's reputation!" ”

Liu Wu said with a smile: "What a clear reputation, now this matter has been full of wind and rain in the city!" Third child, do you remember, last time you sealed a founding man, those women and nobles all came to you to propose marriage, it was that girl who helped you block back, and since then, there has been some gossip. Now that you're an earl, those people have shaken it out again, and now, it's on the streets, and everyone knows it! ”

Zhang Yunwen suddenly wondered: "Second brother, what you said just now was taught by Fang Xuanling. ”

Liu Wu was defenseless, and said directly: "Third child, how do you know that the old man taught me these words?" ”

As soon as these words fell, Liu Yong unceremoniously slapped Liu Wu: "You are such a fool!" ”

Liu Wu, who reacted, suddenly shrugged his head and said to Zhang Yunwen: "I met that old man a few days ago, and he said that Yunwen is not too young, and he should find someone to take care of it, so as not to squat in the prison all day long and mix with a group of craftsmen!" ”

Zhang Yunwen was suddenly a little annoyed: "When will I have to take care of my affairs with Fang Xuanling!" ”

Liu Yong saw that Zhang Yunwen was a little angry, so he persuaded: "Third child, don't be angry, the old man in that room is also kind!"

Zhang Yunwen nodded reluctantly, indicating that he knew, and then changed the topic and asked, "Two elder brothers, I don't know when you will go to Master's house to propose?" ”

Who knew that Liu Yong smiled and said: "A few days ago, I and the second child had already gone and talked to General Wei Chi!" After taking it, General Wei Chi said that he couldn't be the master, and he wanted us to go to Nanyang! ”

Zhang Yunwen suddenly said: "The Nanyang Han family is also a small family in the local area. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, someone served as a county guard in Nanyang. But now the Han family has declined! You can rest assured, if they dare to make trouble, I will help you solve it, third brother! ”

Due to the new emperor's accession to the throne and the change of the era name, this Spring Festival is very lively. The whole of Chang'an was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

In the streets and alleys, the sound of firecrackers "crackles" reminds me that even the gate of the Lifang market has not been closed in the three days of the thirtieth, first and fifteenth days of the new year, and the flow of people in the east and west markets is surging all night. Even Li Shimin waved his pen and gave the maids of the imperial city a night off, so that they could feel the lively atmosphere of the New Year.

In this way, Shangyuan passed, and the courtiers also resumed the court meeting.

Next, Li Shimin issued a series of decrees at the first court meeting of the first year of Zhenguan. Needless to say, there are major policies such as what kind of farming to support business, but what makes Zhang Yunwen happy is the formalization of several institutions in his hands.

The day before the court meeting, Li Shimin found Zhang Yunwen to the Xiande Palace, no, it is now called the Linde Palace. Finally, Li Shimin erased the last trace of the brand of the former East Palace.

In the Lin De Palace, Li Shimin asked Zhang Yunwen how to deal with the three institutions in his hands now.

Zhang Yunwen immediately moved out the long-thinking plan.

The first is the reconnaissance battalion. This is Zhang Yunwen's standing assets. He suggested that the current reconnaissance battalion should be expanded to 1,000 men. Just three of the number of people in the middle house. These 3,000 people do not belong to the government soldiers, but belong to the recruits of the Tang Dynasty, and they are professional soldiers. These reconnaissance battalion soldiers are usually under the jurisdiction of the military department, and if they are transferred, they need the emperor's order, the military department's documents, and the general's tiger talisman, all three of which are indispensable. Training in peacetime, and in wartime, it specializes in tasks such as opening roads, assassination, and sabotage. There is one general, five lieutenant generals, and a number of lieutenants at all levels.

Then there's the intelligence network. This made Zhang Yunwen hesitate. He hesitated whether to incorporate the Investigative Yuan into the system of three provinces and six ministries, or into the military system, or whether it would be set up separately and under the direct control of the emperor like the reconnaissance battalion. So Zhang Yunwen threw this choice to Li Shimin. Li Shimin pondered for a long time before he said quietly: "Alas, it's still up to me to take charge of it!" If it is placed in the six departments of the three provinces or the army, the grade is too high and it is easy for people to discuss, and the grade is too low and it is difficult to carry out the work! I personally manage it, and then let his grade be lower, so that it is easy to manage and easy to do! ”

Although Zhang Yunwen thought that there were still great drawbacks, he hesitated for a moment but did not say the words in his mind.

Finally, his new ruler will be the prisoner. The general prison was originally subordinate to the Ministry of Industry, but during the period when Zhang Yunwen was in the prison, no one from the Ministry of Industry came to point fingers, presumably because he got a hint from Li Shimin. Moreover, during the period when he was about to be a prisoner, he made some achievements, such as the manufacture of grenades has entered the assembly line stage, and the daily production of grenades can reach 200. The weapons made of molten iron smelted by the new iron smelting method are harder and sharper than the original weapons. These two things alone made Li Shimin firm in his idea that he would be of great use as a prisoner.

As a result, Zhang Yunwen took the opportunity to propose that the supervisor be separated from the Ministry of Work and form a new department, the Equipment Temple, together with several other weapons research and manufacturing institutions, which would be under the same rank as the Nine Temples and under the jurisdiction of the emperor.

After Li Shimin listened to this suggestion, he was silent for a moment.

Seeing Li Shimin's frowning appearance, Zhang Yunwen had no choice but to put aside the proposal to establish a staff officer system and military academies, and wait for a while before putting it forward!

At the first court meeting of the first year of Zhenguan, the chamberlain read out a copy of the holy decree.

The first is the Unified Weights and Measures. The provincial officials passed smoothly without any objection.

The second is a decree on the reconnaissance battalion. Li Shimin fully adopted Zhang Yunwen's suggestion, and the holy decree came in detail. However, this consecrated mission has encountered some obstacles here in the province of Menxia. Some officials couldn't help but ask where this reconnaissance battalion was sacred, and it needed to be set up separately!

However, Feng Deyi, Yu Wenshi, Fang Xuanling and others, who knew about the reconnaissance battalion, all offered support. Among the three of them, Feng Deyi and Fang Xuanling were the servants of Shangshu, Yu Wenshi and Zhongshu Ling, and the three prime ministers supported it, and the province had no choice but to pass this holy decree.

As for the third decree of the Court of Inquiry, it was opposed. However, officials from all over the country were interested in this intelligence system, and some even suggested that it should be divided into two, with the household department and the twelve guards under their separate jurisdiction. Li Shimin suddenly blushed and suppressed this holy decree.

The fourth is to promote the superintendent to the equipment institute. Li Shimin did not raise his rank to a temple, but to a temple. However, their treatment has improved.

Seeing that the ministry was about to reject this will again, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but think that several familiar civil officials and bigwigs of the imperial court, such as Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Tang Jian and others secretly gave their eyes, and finally, after several people came forward to argue, the will was passed.

The last decree was a renegotiated decree to be issued. Among them, the relaxation of hanging fifty articles is to cut off the toes, Tang Taizong still thinks that this kind of corporal punishment is too cruel, Shu King Fa Cao joined the army Pei Hongxian please change to the additional service stream, migrate 3,000 miles, and live for three years. Li Shimin adopted this suggestion.

However, the issue of the Court of Inquiry is still debated.

As a result, the first month of the first year of Zhenguan passed in such a controversy.
