Chapter 114: Clear Streams in Troubled Times (Part II)

Cen Tianshi waved his hand and asked the guards at the gate of the palace to take Sun Yu out, turned to Li Xuanqing and bowed to Li Xuanqing and said, "If something happens in Tianshi, the lord will be humiliated, please punish the lord." ”

Li Xuanqing shook his head, helped Cen Tianshi up, and said with a smile: "Sir, that's right, in fact, Sun Kui's temperament is not bad, but his head lacks flexibility, or he has mistaken the object of allegiance." Although I am also a member of the royal family, the general trend of history has never taken into account the honor of one person and one surname. What we have to do is not to assist the royal family in reviving the Tang Dynasty, and the current emperor has no way to support it. ”

"The angel understands that what we have to do is to restore the majesty of the Han and Tang Dynasties." Cen Tianshi nodded and stood beside Li Xuanqing and said with a smile: "Tianshi still remembers what the lord said when he first met the lord two years ago, the north refuses to return to the Uighurs in the desert grassland, and the south is divided into the hinterland of the Central Plains. Tianxiang and I will follow the lord all the way to today because of the lord's words. ”

Cen Tianshi's words made Xu Tianxiang and Hu Xiaosi nod for a while, but that ordinary night gave these people in front of them an extraordinary life.

"General, is this the general's ambition?" Du Rangneng, who had been sitting upright on the cold side, suddenly stood up and asked.

"Brother Qunyi, this is not only the ambition of my lord, but also the goal of my Tiance Mansion." Cen Tianshi looked at Du Rangneng's expression and smiled: "Two years ago, my father-in-law was in the suburbs of Chang'an at that time, and he said his ambition to make Tianshi's blood boil. ”

"So Brother Qunyi should be able to understand a little bit of anger at Lord Sun insulting my lord and the two generals just now, right? God bless Datang, and only then will talents like the lord descend, so that the people of Datang have hope. So don't say it's just Changqing Palace, which is the throne of the Tang Emperor, as long as the people think it's okay, we will take it down and send it to the lord. Cen Tianshi simply threw out this sentence directly, and said: "Tianshi is the same as Brother Qunyi, they are both after the famous ministers of the Tang Dynasty, but so what? The troubled times need to end, and the people look forward to the Lord, which is the responsibility and obligation that we should fulfill when we are born in the troubled times. ”

Cen Tianshi's words made Du Rangneng stunned for a moment, and Cen Tianshi's ability to say this sentence directly means that he is deeply following Li Xuanqing, even if he really plots to usurp the dynasty, he will always follow.

"I wonder if the general can see it? Although Jean Neng is not as talented as Brother Tianshi, he is also willing to contribute a little effort to the great cause of the general. Li Xuanqing was also surprised when he saw Cen Tian when he said this, although he came from later generations, he did not attach such importance to the emperor's position as this era, and even wanted to directly transplant the idea of separation of powers in later generations for a while, but at this moment, when he saw Cen Tianshi, he was also very moved by his words to directly express his deep position. However, before he could speak, Du Rangneng on the side suddenly bowed to Li Xuanqing after hearing Cen Tianshi's words.

His words shocked Li Xuanqing and the others, and at the same time were full of surprises. This descendant of a Zhenguan celebrity can actually bow down to himself?

"Lord Du, hurry up, adults can look at Tiance Mansion, look up to me Li Xuanqing, I thank you on behalf of the people of the world." Li Xuanqing hurriedly helped Du Rangneng up and said with a smile.

Du Rang could see Li Xuanqing's smiling face and laughed, and said, "Actually, I had my own feelings about Tiance Mansion and Tiance Army Rang Neng before. On the day of the destruction of Chang'an City, the defeat of the Shence army caused chaos in the capital, and after the Tiance army entered the city, in order to protect the people, they did not hesitate to give up the pursuit of Yang Fugong and also stopped to encircle and suppress the stragglers, and the survival of the Neng family was also thanks to General Li Tianyi's timely appearance. Jean Neng still remembers what General Li said that day, and can still think of the people in the midst of the chaotic battle, I have never seen such an army in my life for so long. ”

"Haha, Brother Qunyi, you are telling the truth, this is the result of the military and civilian family that the lord has tried his best to build. It is necessary to let the people know that the Tiance Army is the people's own team and the people's own soldiers. Cen Tianshi knew his feelings, and said with a smile: "Let Brother Neng, you see that these soldiers are walking on the streets of Chang'an City now, what do the people say?" Those who have won the hearts of the people since ancient times have won the world. ”

His words made Li Xuanqing on the side a little embarrassed, waved his hand and smiled: "Sir, you and Tianxiang, the head of the two major military and political institutions, came to me, and you don't plan to come to eat, right?" Tell you, Qiaoxi and Feixue's girl went to visit the children in the orphanage today, but I didn't prepare anything today. ”

Li Xuanqing's words made everyone laugh, and finally waited for everyone to stop, Cen Tianshi said: "Lord, this is already March, and the Guanzhong region can already prepare and prepare for spring ploughing." Tianshi is here to ask if this year's spring ploughing lord has any other plans? ”

Li Xuanqing said in a deep voice: "This year's spring ploughing will continue to carry out the reform plan, agriculture is related to the life and death of our people, so we can't be sloppy, I have made a plan, and we will implement it one by one when the time comes." Glancing at Du Rangneng beside him, he smiled and said, "Mr. brought Master Du over today, there must be something else, right?" ”

Cen Tianshi touched his nose and said with a smile: "The lord is really looking at it, but Tianshi came today to discuss something with the lord, but he just met Tianxiang and the two of them at the door." As a result, I didn't expect the rest of the story. ”

Li Xuanqing waved his hand and said, "Sun Yu knows his character, so there is no need to talk about this matter anymore, he will let him go." I guess Mr. is here today for the group of officials who entered the Civil Affairs College some time ago, right? ”

Cen Tianshi and Du Rangneng glanced at each other and said with a smile: "What the lord said is true." Although there are traitorous ministers in the Tang Dynasty in the Guanzhong region, after all, there are still some talents like Brother Qunyi, who have not been cared for in the past, but after all, there are still some young students who adhere to their ideals and beliefs. Now that these people from the School of Administration are about to graduate, I want to ask the lord to take a look, we have too big a shortage of officials now, and selecting some of them to enter the post can also free up sufficient reserve manpower for the next step of the lord's plan in the future. ”

"What Mr. Cen said is, I think if possible, it is possible to transfer some students with military talents to study in the command department or staff department of the Jiangwutang to supplement the command system at all levels and assist the military commanders?" After listening to Cen Tianshi's words, Xu Tianxiang said: "This can quickly improve the knowledge level of the army and better handle the war situation." ”

"How many people are currently housed in the School of Administration?" Li Xuanqing groaned slightly: "The first thing to enter the civil affairs system is to agree with our current political model, our system is still very different from the previous system of three provinces and six ministries. Moreover, the officials of our Tiance Mansion are treated very well, but it is impossible to make a fortune, this must be clear. As for entering the military and political system, in fact, it is okay, Tianxiang is right, the knowledge level of the army must be improved, so that when planning a major campaign, it can have enough knowledge to deal with it, but it is the same as civil affairs. But as for the manual selection, you can choose it yourself. I don't bother to ask for these details. ”

"As for Lord Du, I have heard for a long time that Lord Du is good at law research, and it just so happens that the Law Court still lacks a court lord, I wonder if Lord Du is willing to give in?" Li Xuanqing scratched his head and suddenly smiled.

Cen Tianshi was overjoyed and pushed Du Rangneng, who also came to his senses, bowed down and bowed: "Chen Du Rangneng received the order, and he is willing to do his best for the great cause of Tiance Mansion, and he will die." After finishing speaking, he immediately said: "Today, I will definitely work hard to help the lord complete the great cause as soon as possible." ”

"Brother Qunyi, our Tiance Mansion implements the principle of independent law. The legal court, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and their military departments are three-legged, and together constitute the pattern of the supreme distribution of power in the Tiance Mansion. Therefore, Brother Qunyi has a long way to go, and hopes to let the law court play its due role as soon as possible. Du Rangneng was also sincerely happy to be able to recognize the lord Cen Tianshi, and couldn't help but smile when he saw him being helped up by Li Xuanqing.

"Congratulations to Du Yuanzheng." Xu Tianxiang and Hu Xiaosi also came over to say hello, and the latter said with emotion: "Master Du, Xiaosi was a little rude just now, you can't take it to heart, I was targeted by the new court of the law court, and I feel that my life is about to be gray." ”

Hu Xiaosi's witty words made everyone laugh, and then a few people followed Li Xuanqing to have lunch by himself, chatting about the follow-up military and political events while eating. And Du Rangneng secretly remembered Li Xuanqing's practice of treating etiquette as nothing and being informal, and at the same time, he also felt that the young lord's mind was all on military and political affairs.

"Brother Qunyi, go back and clean up, the Law Court is currently temporarily arranged in Qingfu Palace, because the suitable court has not been selected for a long time, the work of the Law Court is currently progressing slowly, and many things are handled by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. You go back and clean up, and I'll do a handover with you tomorrow, and then you'll officially take office. After Cen Tianshi walked out of Changqing Palace with Du Rangneng, he explained to the latter: "The lord has formulated a lot of new legal codes, you need to familiarize yourself with them first, as well as the terms of reference of the legal court. Anyway, when you get to the law court, I can save my worries. ”

"Don't worry, the lord is young and promising, and his mind is mellow, I will definitely work hard." Du Rangneng was also very satisfied with Li Xuanqing, so he immediately smiled when he heard Cen Tianshi's babbling words.

After the two separated, Cen Tianshi had to turn back to the New Year's Hall and Xu Tianxiang rushed to distribute the trainees, and the Department of Agriculture deployed spring ploughing, according to the practice of previous years, but also to contact the General Staff to coordinate the garrisons to complete the spring ploughing task together, although this society was developed in advance by Li Xuanqing, but agriculture is still indisputably ranked first in the various plans of Tiance Mansion, so when it comes to spring ploughing, almost all the staff move together. And Li Xuanqing handed over these things to Cen Tianshi and Xu Tianxiang to carry out his industrial adjustment and development plan.

And Du Rangneng quickly returned to his mansion after leaving the palace, busy asking his wife to clean up his salutes, with Cen Tianshi's brief description, he planned to live directly in Qingfu Palace for a period of time, and then talk about it after putting things in order, and also had to find previous books, so he was busy.

But at this time, the doorman at the door came to report that Sun Kui and Lord Sun were here. This made Du Rangneng frown, but still ordered the doorman to bring him in.

"Husband, what's wrong with you? Is something wrong with the frowning? Du Rangneng's wife saw that her husband heard that Sun Kuo was coming, her face was different, and she put down the work in her hand and walked over and asked.

Du Rangneng briefly told him what happened in Changqing Palace today, and said with a wry smile: "Now that I am the head of the Tiance Mansion Law Court, I am afraid that Sun Kuo will make something happen again." After all, the lord can tolerate it once, but he may not tolerate it a second time, and it's not easy to tell if it's a matter of fact. ”

"This matter is actually not difficult according to the concubine's idea, since the lord can tolerate Lord Sun for the first time, it means that he is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, and Mr. Cen can take the two of you to see the lord at the same time shows that he knows it in his heart. When the husband and Lord Sun meet, they only talk about personal relations and do not talk about official business. If there is anything in the future, it is enough to enforce the law impartially and with a clear conscience. Madame's words made Du Rangneng's eyes light up, but his expression did not change much, and he waved his hand to welcome Sun Kuo, who had already arrived at the door, in.

"Have you already accepted Cen Tianshi's invitation to become an official at Li Xuanqing?" Sun Kuo went straight to the point.

Du Rangneng had long been accustomed to Sun Kuo's way of speaking, so he nodded when he heard the words and said, "I have accepted the appointment of the lord and will be the head of the Tiance Mansion Law Court tomorrow." ”

"Okay, Lord Du Yuanzheng, shouldn't I congratulate you?" Sun Kuo was also stunned, and then sneered angrily: "I didn't expect you Du Rang to be willing to be the rebel's rebel party, are you worthy of your ancestor's legacy?" Are you worthy of the emperor? ”

"If you're right, you'll have to see later." Du Rangneng's words made Sun Kuo stunned, but the latter did not give Sun Kuo room to speak, "If Master Sun has nothing else to do, please go back, Rangneng will go to work tomorrow, and there is no time to entertain you." ”

Seeing Sun Kuo brushing his sleeves away, Du Rangneng sighed secretly, and continued to pack his things, and the lady next to him was also slightly stunned, her husband seemed to have become different in the past At this moment.
