Chapter 121: The Ruler of a Bed

"Ahem," Xu Qing coughed lightly twice, and said slowly: "From time to time, there are two stones of the same material, one large and one small, thrown down from the same height, may I ask, which one hits the ground first." ”

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military, this is the third time they have been in an uproar, and they are talking about it again, who wouldn't have such a simple question? Of course, the big rock landed first! But Xu Qing's questions are often unexpected, but this time, everyone hesitated, and some people hesitated: "Could it be that the little stone landed first?" ”

Xu Qing paused for a moment and said with a smile: "This stone fell to the ground at the same time, if you don't believe it, you can go back to the experiment." ”

The Turkic envoy's mouth opened wide, but he didn't dare to refute Xu Qing, so he could only have doubts. This is Li Yuan standing up and pointing to the Turks: "Turkic envoys!" Listen to me! You Turks are just a backward people, relying on the benefits of war horses to poison the people of my northern border! You go back and tell Geely Khan, although my Datang is still weak now, but I, Datang, are united in all the people and talents, and sooner or later I will take the army of tigers and wolves to unload the head of Geely Khan! ! ”

The Turkic envoy Horqin was frightened by Li Yuan's momentum, and fled out of the hall in embarrassment, and the ministers worshiped at this time, my emperor Shengming, long live my emperor, long live the Tang Dynasty!

Then there were people who did things one after another, but the courtiers had already had no intention of discussing things, and said a few inconsequential things, retreated from the court, and went back to the yamen.

Li Yuan left the leaders of the six departments of the three provinces, and several generals came down. The cruel words have been released, so naturally we have to prepare something to defend ourselves. This is Datang's top secret, and only now are these people qualified to know.

After discussion, Tang's weakness to the Turks lies in two points. The first point is the shortage of war horses, and the weakness of war horses. Speaking of which, I would like to thank Xu Qing for offering the method of horseshoe, otherwise I would have to learn from the Han Dynasty to register all the horses. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there was also a shortage of horses, and when Emperor Wu arrived, it was strictly forbidden to buy horses privately. There is a lack of horses, and there are good horses. Li Yuan had a showdown with the people present, and it took a year to get hundreds of steppe horses during the southern invasion of the Turks. In this steppe Mali, there are fewer stallions, and even fewer can be used for breeding.

Another weakness is that the Turks are fighting alone. When the Turks go south, they will inevitably stir up the tribes around the Tang Dynasty, such as Tuyuhun and Xue Yantuo, to make trouble together. *, on the other hand, can only pounce left and right, there are no reinforcements, and the troops are somewhat stretched.

As Xu Qing, who had shined in the court just now, and an official with a very high official order, Xu Qing was naturally called by Li Yuan to this "small court meeting". Li Yuan finished talking about his worries, but he didn't see his usual irritability and anger. When the ministers were surprised, they saw Li Yuan and said: "Xu Qing can also solve these problems." ”

Xu Qing had to sigh and said: "I know the king of the Bohai Kingdom and the Khan of the Dahe clan, if there is a shortage of horses, I can write a letter to let him exchange markets with the Tang Dynasty." It is also possible to let the envoys unite the Liaodong states. ”

Xu Shiji asked quietly: "Xu boy, aren't you joking, how do you recognize the Bohai Kingdom and Dahe?" ”

Xu Qingdao: "This matter is a long story, but I let the Dahe clan and the Bohai Kingdom annex the Xi people, and now both of them owe me great favors." And, as far as I know, I know that the two of them also have a deep fear of the Turks, and can promise them to share the Turkic lands. As long as the Turks are defeated, even if the Dahe clan and the Bohai Kingdom become stronger, it will no longer be able to pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Yuan suddenly laughed triumphantly at this time: "I don't think about it, I don't think about it, Xu Qing has been in Cangzhou for two years, and he has brought so many things to me, he is really a virtuous minister!" ”

The ministers said: "Congratulations to the emperor, the ministers are ashamed!" ”

Xu Qingdao: "How dare you take credit, look at the emperor's might,"

Li Yuan then said: "Counting Xu Qing's merits, he should have been knighted and added to the official again, but Xu Qing is still young, and he is jealous of the villain in his high position." It's really hard for me to do! ”

The official Shangshu said: "There must be Yu Qing in the house of goodness, and there will be Yu De in the shade of his family, and the minister thinks that he can treat the family of Lord Xu well, and then this land." ”

At this time, Xu Qing should have made a statement, but it was obvious that he was going to be rewarded, Xu Qingkai couldn't open his mouth and said I don't want three words, and let a few scholars discuss his reward. In the end, it was concluded that in order to cherish the strength of the people, and at the same time, to commend outstanding employees like Xu Qing, a royal village on the outskirts of the city could be set aside for Xu Qing to live in. In addition, Ci Xun Xue'er is the third grade of Jinshang Junjun, and the rest of the women such as Huang Shimei are added from the fourth rank of Luonan County, Xiaoyue is from the fourth grade Jieyu, and Luo Xiuxiu is the fifth grade of the county Jun. Except for Xu Qi, who did not have a title, the others all had titles.

When Xu Qing heard this, he was also shocked, and it was too obvious that those Shangshu were trying to win over his heart. Take Xun Xue'er's title as an example, Xun Xue'er could only use Xu Qing's title Luonan before, but now she has been given her own title "Jinshang", which is still the third grade, which is higher than Xu Qing's official position. In the future, when Xu Qing and Xun Xue'er hehe, aren't they really bosses? There are also the rest of the female lords, these people have lost even basic common sense in order to win over Xu Qing.

In addition to the royal family, the minister's concubine was made a county lord? This is good, Xu Qing is lying on the bed.

Xu Qing also knew at this time, and he had to refuse, otherwise those imperial histories would have to chase me and not be able to run.

But at this time, Li Yuan calmly agreed, and said to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, that he should quickly discuss the amount of reward objects, and let the two servants of Zhongshu Province write the holy decree on the spot. In the end, he instructed the six ministries of the three provinces to select the candidates for the envoys to Bohai and Dahe.

After a bunch of things, Xu Qing finally understood what the so-called scientific method of the three provinces and six ministries was, that is, the emperor made a request alone, and the others hurriedly figured out a way.

When he left the Taiji Palace again, Xu Qing had already brought three cartloads of things to reward, carrying a holy decree in his arms, a land deed, and a tiger talisman and the official seal of the Xuanwu Gate guard.

When he came out, Xu Qing asked Xu Shiji why he had the seal of General Yunlu and why he deliberately issued a seal of a guard. After listening to this, Xu Shiji said that Xu Qing is a fool and has a foolish fortune, only the seal of General Yunlu, even if he holds the documents of the Ministry and the previous holy decree, then Xu Qing can only eat outside the Xuanwu Gate. And Li Yuan didn't give Guan Yin first, just to test whether Xu Qing was enthusiastic about this guard's position, if Xu Qing was enthusiastic, this guard would only be able to be a few days, and he would be removed immediately.

And Xu Qing actually went shopping the next day, and the bird didn't break the position of the gatekeeper, so he just passed Li Yuan's test.

Xu Qing sighed, the companion is like a tiger, how can he test him with everything. Thanks to Xu Shiji's mention, otherwise Xu Qing would continue to be so confused, then he might hit the thunder next time. Xu Shiji comforted him, Li Yuan did not suspect that he would use people, and now that the seal had been handed over to him, he just had to be an official steadfastly.
