Chapter 777: The Imperial Court (4,000 Words)
The snow on the plateau is even heavier.
The wind was blowing.
At this time, even if you want to leave the plateau, you can't leave if you want to.
Several figures sat in the Prague Palace, pondering.
"What do you mean?" Li Zhen looked at Li Zhen and asked.
Although Da Shi is fighting, he can't go at all, besides, Tubo was originally a cold land, even if he sent troops, he could only be in a hurry.
It's too far.
It's too hot.
The people of Tibet can't stand it at all, and it is estimated that it is good not to be captured as slaves by all of them.
"Although we don't have much wealth on the plateau, we have cattle, grain, and agate, which are needed by the merchants of the Persian diet." Li Su had an incomparably bright smile on his face.
In a nutshell, we have money!
Very rich!
Very rich!
At the beginning, Li Su entered Tibet, but he brought a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and now he has the support of his brother, and there is still a lot of money and food.
"Now, the Great Food is in turmoil, there will be countless people displaced, I think the price of slaves will be cheaper, although our Tubo country is on the plateau, but there is still a lot of land."
"So, I think we should buy some slaves from Dashi instead, not only do we need strong young people, but there are also women who don't have many good women, as long as our population increases, then our strength will also fight."
"When the time comes, we don't have to look at Datang's face anymore." Li Su came with a hint of smugness on his face.
Tubo and the Tang Dynasty fought, although they were ruled by Li Su.
People compete for a breath of Buddha to receive a pillar of incense.
Although Li Su has no ability, he inherited the arrogance of Li Shimin and Yang Guang.
On the surface, he still surrenders to Datang and is willing to listen to Datang's orders.
But who wants to sit on their head all day? Especially if it was a woman.
However, the population has withered and has not been able to recover for hundreds of years.
Even if he recovers, he is no match for Datang.
As a descendant of the Tang royal family, Li Su is still very ambitious.
It's just that even if you are ambitious now, don't you have to stay on the plateau obediently?
There is only one way to make the plateau stronger.
That's the population.
When the population increases, the country of the plateau becomes stronger, and only then can he be truly equal to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
When Tianzhu learned that the Great Food Country was in civil strife, Li Su was extremely happy.
Wars, such as the displacement of hundreds of people.
This is a good opportunity to buy slaves in large quantities.
Li Su couldn't help but pay attention to the big food country.
It would be nice if he could turn all the people of the Great Eclipse into his own slaves.
……
Datang.
Chang'an City.
The snow began to fall unconsciously.
The new year is coming again.
In the palace, it seems to be a little lively.
Unfortunately, there are fewer people this year, so it would be nice to be able to identify with the usual buzz.
Of course, there is still excitement.
However, not enough!
Cheng Chubi and Empress Gaoyang and others are waiting in the palace to keep the New Year.
A large group of women are now living in the palace, and even Cheng Cui, who has never wanted to live in the palace, happens to live in the palace.
As for the concubines, princesses, princes and the like in the original palace, they have all been sent to the fiefdom or married.
Li Shimin and Li Yuan's concubines naturally all left the palace.
Even if you don't want to go out, you are a lonely old man, what are you doing living in the palace?
Although Empress Gaoyang is nominally the descendants of those concubines, she basically has no blood relationship with them.
Of course, Princess Gaoyang and Xiao Er'er are not ruthless people, and if they are given enough wealth, they can still live a happy life after leaving the palace.
Even if they secretly got married and had children, Cheng Chubi and Princess Gaoyang did not lack to check them.
"Your Majesty, Happy New Year."
A figure walked to Cheng Shibi's side and said with a smile, it was the old eunuch who remembered the hour.
"I didn't expect that the first day of the new year is coming." Cheng Chubi smiled and said, "Happy New Year, everyone, I'm here to greet you for the New Year." ”
Finally, when a new day came, Cheng Chubi's babies ran out happily one by one.
Seeing those little guys running out, Cheng Chubi shook his head slightly and said, "These little guys are very similar to when they were young." ”
As soon as the words ended, the sound of "bang bang bang" sounded, and I saw a stream of fireworks, rushing into the sky, and brilliant fireworks were opened in the sky.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
"Husband, you are the first genius in the world, how can you not write a poem with such a beautiful day?" Empress Gaoyang looked at Cheng Chubi with a smile and said.
"Yes, husband, since the Tang Dynasty was pacified, I rarely saw your poems."
"Husband, I'm getting lazier and lazier."
"Such a beautiful scenery, if you don't give a poem, wouldn't it be a waste."
"Husband, I believe that you must not be Cheng Lang's talent."
“……”
The women surrounded Cheng Chubi and said, Yingying Yanyan Yingying Yanyan, it's so lively.
"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll do a song." Cheng Chubi smiled slightly and said: "In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu, and thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old charms." ”
"Good! The husband is really the best talent in the world. ”
"Sure enough, the husband is still the husband who was the one who had a good chapter."
"Husband, you're so amazing."
"Husband, the first in the world!"
“……”
Everyone said, obviously very happy.
A female official, the living man of the Tang Dynasty, hurriedly wrote in the book: "At the beginning of the tenth year of Gaoyang, Qin Wang Cheng wrote a poem in the Taiji Palace, saying: 'In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu, and thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old charms. ’。 ”
"Your Highness, sure enough, the style is still the same." After writing, she looked at Cheng Chubi, her face full of admiration.
Women like rich and powerful men.
If this man is not only rich, powerful and powerful, but also full of wealth and exports, it will attract women even more.
One by one, this night, the entire Chang'an City was in a kind of fireworks splendor.
The sky has brightened up a lot.
On this night, Chang'an City was quite lively.
Especially children, looking at the fireworks, the whole person is very happy.
Children like fireworks the most, and there are women and poets, when they see fireworks, the brilliant beauty suddenly makes them poetic, and they can't wait to chant a poem.
The next day, there is no need to go to court.
Cheng Chubi is indeed a very lazy prince, he sits in the Tang Dynasty, but he never likes the court.
Therefore, in the court, it is basically Empress Gaoyang who has the final say.
Today, after sending Yang Cheng away, Cheng Chubi returned to the palace.
This is the first early dynasty this year, and Cheng Chubi rarely went to participate.
Most of the officials in the DPRK and China are young officials.
For example, Wei Zheng, Du Rumei and others have already retired.
There is no way, Wei Zheng can still walk around, Du Rumei and Fang Xuanling are already lying on the bed, relying on drugs for a living.
When people are old, even if medicine is advancing, it is impossible for them to regain their youth.
Kong Yingda has even begun Alzheimer's disease.
The years are unforgiving.
Who would have thought that the original lupine scarves and the characters who pointed out the country were gradually receding.
A new generation replaces the old.
There are more fresh faces in the dynasty.
Cheng Chubi sat in his place, slowly enjoying the feeling of going to court, but he found that he was not able to enjoy any feeling at all.
It's plain, it's not the same as usual.
Perhaps, this is life.
Cheng Chubi thought again.
"Returning to Your Majesty."
A figure stepped forward, and it was a woman.
This person is none other than Fang Xuanling's daughter, Fang Mingzhu.
Over the years, there have been a lot more women in the court.
Because the emperor was a woman, women gradually became more and more valued, and among the people, women began to be educated.
Datang has not yet made Cheng Zhu Lixue's set, so the status of women is still quite high.
In fact, since ancient times, the status of women has not been low.
In ancient times, there were good women and Lu pheasants.
Later, the Song Dynasty produced a Zhu Xi, who made a Zhu Xi who destroyed human nature by preserving heavenly principles, and then secretly made his daughter-in-law have a big belly.
Since then, women have become people who do not go out of the door and do not step out, and have little feet wrapped.
In fact, women in ancient times were very powerful.
With a faint smile on his face, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but glance at Fang Mingzhu more.
"Your Majesty, now that my Tang Dynasty has undergone reform and is thriving, this is the way for Your Majesty to govern the country." Fang Mingzhu smiled slightly and said, "However, among these people, there are still some people who are illiterate, and they don't understand the country's policies. ”
"After thinking about it, we think that some people should be formed by the imperial court, go down to the countryside, and teach them words, so that the people of Datang can at least recognize words, know how to write their own names, and understand the announcements on the bulletin board."
"In this way, we can prevent the people from following the clouds, and we can prevent people from taking advantage of the people and disturbing the safety of Datang." Fang Mingzhu said.
Cheng Chubi listened to it next to him, and couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, isn't this the Tang Dynasty's version of literacy?
Literacy!
This is good, this is really good!
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but nodded.
You know, even in later generations, many people were illiterate, and 80 percent of the people did not know how to write their names, but it was later that the great leaders gave the task of eradicating illiteracy, and literacy classes were set up in various places, so that the literacy rate obviously increased a lot.
Although Datang is now also implementing simplified characters, the effect is indeed not good.
The literacy rate has indeed increased, but it is not enough, it is far from enough.
"Okay, doable." Empress Gaoyang nodded, then spoke, "Wait a minute, you guys will write the content in more detail." ”
"Only when the people understand the truth can the country be stable and the society can develop." Empress Gaoyang said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play."
“……”
The new year is full of hope.
……
When Datang was already in ice and snow, the weather in Dashi Country was still so hot.
As soon as the wind blew, the yellow sand flew everywhere.
The flames of war are constantly spreading.
Starting from Muscat City, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were like bamboos, and in less than a month, they had already broken through several cities in the Great Food Country.
And in the East.
The soldiers of the Great Western Kingdom, under the guidance of Cheng Yuhuan, also quickly broke through one city after another, dividing up the population and wealth in those cities.
In the southeast area of Zi, the soldiers of Tianzhu Sui are also sending troops to eat and come across the sea.
After all, separated by high mountains, Tianzhu could only cross the sea, but with the technology of the Tang Dynasty, the Tianzhu people quickly entered the territory of the Great Food Country, which originally belonged to Persia.
In a month's time, the originally powerful Great Food Country, was full of gunsmoke.
Some people may think that the Great Food Country is just a small country, but in fact, the Great Food Country is a country that spans three continents, so it can be said that it is an international country.
In the original history of Cheng Chubi, who had no demons, the Great Food Kingdom existed for more than 600 years, mainly during the Four Caliphate periods (632-661) and the Umayyad Dynasty (661-750) and the Abbasid Dynasty (750-1258).
At its peak, it stretched from the Indus River in the east and the western border of China, to the Atlantic coast in the west, to the Caspian Sea and southern France in the north, and to the Arabian Sea in the south.
It's a pity that such a powerful country has just become strong and has been hit by such a huge blow.
At this time, if it can't be settled, I'm afraid that there will be no huge kingdom spanning three continents in the future.
At this time, in Damascus, among the national capitals of the Great Food Kingdom.
Caliph Umar I looked extremely angry, looking at the messages delivered by the people below, the whole person was extremely angry.
He looked at his friend and asked, "Osman, is the situation in our country really so critical?" ”
"O O Heir of Allah, the situation in our country is even more serious than what we have seen." Osman sighed, a serious hint of helplessness.
The future caliph is still a good friend of Umar, albeit even older.
"In our country, there are Tang people attacking, Persians are resisting, and Daxi people are pouring in, and the Tianzhu people are also coming, and it will not be long before the vast Great Zhou will not let us go." Osman said: "We, like the fat meat of the desert, will naturally attract some greedy vultures and wild wolves. ”
"If it had been any other time, perhaps we would have been able to resist, we are the followers of the great prophet, we are the bravest soldiers under the moon."
"However, there are too many vultures and wild wolves this time, even if the great prophet is alive, there is no way to resist it."
