Zhenguan for eight years. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Huaxia is stable, Siyi is in service, and the five grains are abundant.

In the Zhenguan Palace, several ministers came out and said in unison, "The ministers ask Your Majesty to seal the Zen!" ”

Li Shimin smiled, "Why did you mention the matter of sealing Zen?" He looked surprised, but he was delighted.

The eldest grandson Wuji said, "Your Majesty's merits are obvious to all in the world. It's time to seal Zen, time can't be lost, heaven can't be violated, and now it's time to seal Zen. ”

Li Shimin sat on the royal chair, his body twisting slightly, very pleasant.

Feng Chan, this is also a grand event of the emperor.

But before he could speak, Wei Zheng stood up from the side.

"I can't do it!"

This sound was impossible, and even Li Chao, who was sitting in the hall dozing off, couldn't help but look up at him. Now Wei Zheng seems to be going farther and farther on the road of opposition and minority parties in the court.

Li Shimin's originally happy face was a little gloomy.

"Wei Zheng, do you think that I can't seal Zen because my skills are not high enough and my virtue is not thick enough?"

"Your Majesty, the ministers all think that Fengzen is an imperial event, but the ministers don't see it that way. If the world is safe and the home is sufficient, although there is no Zen sealing, is there anything unfulfilling? In the past, Qin Shi Huang sealed Zen, but Emperor Wen of Han did not seal Zen, do later people think that Emperor Wen of Han is inferior to Qin Shi Huang? Moreover, sweeping the floor is sealed, and sacrificing to the sky is Zen, so why climb to the top of Mount Tai to show His Majesty's sincerity? ”

The eldest grandson, Wuji, raised the wat board and immediately refuted Wei Zheng.

"Although Feng Chan is His Majesty personally going to Mount Tai, it shows the merits of the king, and the reason why the king has merits is because of the result of governing the world, isn't it?"

Fang Xuanling also stood up, "Of course, Your Majesty is highly meritorious, and Huaxia is stable, the four are subdued, the five grains are harvested, and Fu Rui has arrived." ”

Li Shimin also looked at Wei Zheng, "Why can't I seal Zen?" ”

Wei Zheng is not the kind of person who compromises easily, he swooped down, "Your Majesty, although there are these things that the prime minister said, but after all, we are suffering from the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Cangqiao is still a little empty, and the people of the world have not yet recovered, and Feng Chan must be a car driving eastward tour, thousands of rides, the supply of the surplus, and the cost of the imperial court are not easy to bear." ”

"Besides, if Your Majesty wants to seal Zen, then it must be that all the countries are concentrated, and the rulers of Yuanyi must follow. Now from Yi and Luo to Daiyue by the sea, the way is far away. And when people come, they must always give a reward, and no matter how much they are rewarded, it may not satisfy them. In doing so, even if you don't collect taxes, you can't compensate for the people's labor. Instead of advocating the false name of sealing Zen and getting the actual harm, why does Your Majesty have to seal Zen? ”

In the main hall, they were not very satisfied with Wei Zheng, the contrarian prime minister.

Li Shimin is also holding back the fire in his heart.

He has been in power for eight years, Datang is in his hands, has been thriving, thanks to the full implementation of the new policy, now the country is rich, the people are healthy, Datang is unprecedentedly strong, but this Wei Zheng is still always in the opposite tune.

"Taishi, tell me, should I seal Mount Tai?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Chao, the Taishi under the imperial stairs.

Since Wude settled down Lingnan and returned to Beijing in the fourth year, Li Chao has not left Beijing for three years, and Li Chao has only hung the title of Taishi in the past three years, and has not held other substantive positions.

Li Shimin even authorized Li Chao not to participate in the Chang Dynasty, but only participated in the monthly Shuowang Dynasty meeting, and occasionally invited Li Chao to attend the meeting in front of the emperor. Most of the time, Li Chao was in King Zhao's mansion.

In the past three years, Li Chao has only done one thing, that is, he has led the establishment of the Beijing Normal University Hall with his donation.

Unlike Guozijian, which has more than 8,000 students, the Jingshi University Hall is more miscellaneous. There is a medical school in the hall of Beijing Normal University, as well as a school of architecture, a school of minerals, a school of transportation, a school of water conservancy, a school of accounting, and even a school of textiles, a college of iron and steel, a college of agriculture and animal husbandry, etc., with dozens of colleges, which is a professional college that trains all kinds of professionals.

In three years, this Jingshi University now has more than 10,000 students, which is more than the 8,000 students in Guozijian.

Every year, the entrance examination of Beijing Normal University Hall is no less lively than the imperial examination, and a large number of students apply for the examination, and the acceptance rate is very low. There is no restriction on studying in Beijing Normal University, as long as you can pass the written test and interview, and reading is not only free, but also has allowances, and there are scholarships for good reading.

What students like the most is that they are assigned by package, three years of study and one internship, and after four years of graduation, they can be assigned a job according to their major.

Those who study medicine can be assigned to work in the Affiliated Medical College of Beijing Normal University Hall under the name of Daxuetang, which has set up branches in more than 300 prefectures in more than a dozen provinces across the country in the past three years, and is also an important industry of Beijing University.

Those who study minerals, metallurgy, architecture, transportation, and water conservancy have places to go, so to speak, and now the Tang Dynasty is thriving, and this Beijing Normal University is specially set up for this situation.

The students who came out of Beijing Normal University were basically robbed every year after graduation.

However, basically, the various affiliated industries of Beijing University are not enough, so where can it be cheaper for others. As a result, in the past two years, more and more people have been recruited year by year, and even many large businesses have begun to sign agreements with Beijing Normal University to engage in commission trainees, and they buy places at Beijing Normal University, and then send students to study at a high price, and return directly to their business after graduation.

But even so, the commission trainees they sent had to participate in the unified entrance examination of Beijing Normal University, and if the results were not enough, they would not be accepted.

When Li Chao took the lead in establishing Beijing Normal University, many people felt that Li Chao had nothing to do. Especially for so many majors in the school, there is even a major in agriculture, do you still have to teach farming? The people who come to read are all readers, and the readers read so many books and go back to farming?

But in the past three years, Beijing Normal University has become more and more prosperous, and its reputation has become bigger and bigger.

The students who came out of Beijing Normal University are also more popular than those of Guozijian. The students of Guozijian basically went to work as officials in various ministries, and many of them went to work as officials in various offices in Beijing Normal University, and more went to work as technicians in various firms. The treatment is very good!

Of course, there is also a normal college in Beijing Normal University, where teachers are specially trained, junior high schools, junior high schools, junior high schools, high schools, and high schools, and a large number of normal students graduate from here every year and are then distributed to all parts of the country.

The imperial court also gave normal students a special treatment, they did not need money to study, and as soon as they were admitted, they began to get the teacher's salary, although it was a basic salary, but it was not very different from the subsidy received by other students. In addition, as soon as they graduate and are assigned to the school, even if they are officials, they have the opportunity to be promoted to become officials in the yamen after five years of teaching.

In recent years, Beijing Normal University has even set up ancillary industries such as the Affiliated Hospital of Beijing Normal University, the Beijing Normal University Construction Company, etc., and the business is booming.

Nowadays, Beijing Normal University is already a very young and generous big industry, the Li family is the largest school director, and many other wealthy families are also members of the school board, and even one thousand and eighty families on the family list in the clan history have invested money in Beijing Normal University, and there is a share.

This Beijing Normal University and Guozijian are different from official schools, this is an out-and-out private school, and it is also a university hall that is becoming more and more influential every year, and more and more profitable.

Li Chao, a person who has been idle in Beijing for three years, has also amazed the world, no matter where he is, this is by no means simple.

However, in the past three years, Li Chao has indeed only focused on the construction of Beijing Normal University and the national layout of the school's affiliated industries, and has never interfered in the affairs of the imperial court.

Even after the prince hung the name of the Tang Waterway Transfer Envoy, he wanted Li Chao to take the title of director of the West Canal and assist in repairing the canal, but Li Chao refused.

"The canal is an opportunity you earn, so you should do it yourself." Li Chao said this to Cheng Qian.

In three years, Li Chao built a Beijing Normal University from scratch, and also built a huge industrial group of Beijing Normal University. And the crown prince also spent three full years to build the Grand Canal in western Beijing. This canal, which contains a number of canals, reservoirs and locks, is fully connected and has been fully navigable.

Danjiang Reservoir, Hanjiang Dam, Xianghan Cao Canal, Jingxiang Canal, and the confluence of the Baihe River and the Cai River. Plus the dredging of the Xiangtan Canal.

Today, this West Canal connects the Yellow River to the north, the East Canal to Bianshui, and even the Huai River and the Yangtze River.

The West Canal is in the south of Fangshan Pass, the White River is connected with the Danjiang River, the Tang River and the Han River, and also directly connects to the Yangtze River and the Xiangjiang River. Coupled with the opening of the Jingxiang Canal, it can be said that from Hedong, Hebei, to Huaibei and Henan, it can directly cross the Fangshan Pass to Hanjing, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. It can also connect Jingxiang and Xiangtan, and is much closer to Bashu and Jianghuai.

The whole line of the West Canal has been completed, so that the entire west of Datang has become more prosperous and business travel is prosperous.

And for such a canal, the imperial court did not pay much money, let alone disturb the people. Even the West Canal, which took three years, also drove the local infrastructure construction, and the two banks of the river belt have revitalized many places along the West Canal.

In recent years, there have been no major disasters, and the flooding in some places has always been able to rescue quickly and timely.

Datang is indeed getting stronger day by day, and the courtiers are not on a whim at this time. Li Chao knows the inside story very well, and the ministers can't wait.

Can't wait for what?

The five years that were promised back then have passed in Pingliao, and next year will be the fifth year. At this time, it is proposed to seal Zen next year, which is actually to prepare for next year's expedition to Liao.

The emperor will go to Fengzen next year, and then he will not come back, but will go directly to Dengzhou to be a town, and the conquest of Liao will also start in full swing.

After waiting for four years, the ministers couldn't hold it anymore, because their fiefdom in Liaodong had never been obtained.

People have been holding the Li family's Liaonan fiefdom for four years, and Lushun, Dalian, and Jinshan already have a population of two or three hundred thousand, and they don't know how much money they have earned.

Li Shimin had talked to Li Chao about sealing Chan and conquering Liao before, and next year he would seal Chan and summon Gao Jianwu, the king of Goguryeo, a vassal country, to come to the court, if Gao Jianwu did not come, then this would be a reason to send troops. And Li Shimin is sure that Gao Jianwu will definitely not dare to come, in the past few years, Goguryeo has been tortured by the Tang Dynasty and gone crazy.

The Tang Dynasty shouted that it was going to send troops to Goguryeo, and the sailors and privateers of the Tang Dynasty came and left as they wanted, and Goguryeo had to issue an order to ban the sea and move the sea, move all the people in the coastal area to the inland, and then burn the coastal areas.

For this long-term defense line, Goguryeo delayed agriculture and livestock, and the food shortage was serious in the past two years, and many people have starved to death.

How dare Gao Jianwu come to the court at this time?

Li Chao got up.

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has been established for six years, Zhenguan has been eight years, fourteen years, the Tang Dynasty is thriving, destroying the Turks, leveling the southern barbarians, the world is stable and rich, and the people are too safe to live. Such a prosperous world is, of course, the work of His Majesty's governance and the assistance of his courtiers. ”

"The minister begs His Majesty to enshrine Mount Tai!"

There was a moment of silence in the main hall.

Then Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, eldest grandson Wuji, Ma Zhou and other Zaifu took the lead, and the ministers shouted together.

"Your Majesty, please enshrine Mount Tai!"

Li Shimin stroked his long beard with his hand, laughing, Zhenguan Shengshi, what a Zhenguan Shengshi!
