Chapter 252: The country is the foundation

Li Shimin said: "It seems that everyone's opinion is basically the same. By the way, there is also a concept of King Liang for the future war against Tibet. Among them, he talked about the problem that Wei Chigong just mentioned.

Some of you have been to an industrial school with me, and you should still have an impression of the atmospheric pressure problem that King Liang talked about. ”

Li Tai saw that he had made the right bet this time, and hurriedly said: "It is the atmospheric pressure experiment that King Liang did last time, and Erchen still remembers it vividly. ”

Li Shimin said: "The Tang Dynasty's army couldn't breathe when it arrived in Tibet, because the terrain in Tibet was high and the air was thin. Our people in Datang are not adaptable, and the Tubo people have always lived there, so they can adapt to that kind of conditions than our people.

King Liang said that as long as our troops are trained under similar conditions, they can also fight on a plateau like Tubo. ”

Li Jing nodded and said, "I see, I used to think that the Tubo people had divine help. Ha ha. ”

Fang Xuanling said: "His Royal Highness King Liang's knowledge is so profound that he even knows such a thing. Surrendered. ”

Hou Junji giggled there.

Li Shimin said: "The proposal of the auxiliary machine just now is in line with the opinion of King Liang, and he has asked for an order to go to the Western Regions to be responsible for this assistance to Tuhun Valley to resist Tubo. I think that's it. ”

Immediately, Li Shimin issued an edict: Li Su, the king of Liang, served as the Xuanfu envoy of the Western Regions, and the Longyou Dao and Anxi Protectorate obeyed the dispatch of Li Su, the king of Liang. Li Jing's staff headquarters is responsible for coordination and cooperation.

Leaving the Taiji Palace, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly felt a little ashamed in his heart - King Liang did not plan to return to Chang'an at all, but tried to do things for the Tang Dynasty. Thinking about the prince again, alas, I really can't mention it.

The eldest grandson Wuji is a figure who is extremely loyal to Li Shimin, and has made great contributions to the rule of Zhenguan. He is the elder brother of Empress Changsun, and it is incumbent upon him to defend her son. Putting aside this relationship, he still admires Liang Wang Li Su very much.

The crown prince Li Chengqian became more and more depressed, no matter what he did, he could not satisfy Li Shimin. He hates Li Su very much now, hates him for being too outstanding, hates him for not ventilating himself in advance, hates ...... He didn't know what to hate.

He returned to the East Palace, lit a stick of incense in his room, and paid tribute to the satisfaction of the innocent and unjust death. Xindao: "It's still satisfying, so well-behaved and sensible, never making yourself unhappy, but it's a pity ......"

The more Li Chengqian thought about it, the more he missed his heart, and a line of tears flowed down his handsome cheeks.

Li Chengqian is sick again.

On this day, Tang Fei, the Zhengqing of Honglu Temple, received a notice from Zhongshu Province and asked him to go to Longyou Road to observe the embassy and report to Li Su, the king of Liang.

At the same time, the order was also received by the special forces of Du He and Wei Chi Baoqi. Xue Rengui of the General Staff also received an order.

These people gathered together and marched towards Longyou Dao.

Not long ago, Kong Yingda and Huo Qiang also came to Chang'an City from Yunzhou.

Early Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin promulgated a series of appointments. Datang has newly established two independent departments, which are lower in rank than the original six departments, and are called second-level departments. These include the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

The Ministry of Culture includes the Department of Education, the Department of Advocacy and the Department of Cultural Studies. Kong Yingda served as minister.

The Ministry of Industry and Commerce includes the Industry Division, the Commerce Division, the Mining Division, and the Patent Office. Li Dan served as minister.

The biggest highlight of this is that Huo Qiang served as the director of Datang Commerce in the capacity of the director of Yunzhou Commerce. This shows that the role of commerce was fully recognized by the imperial court, and the status of merchants began to improve significantly.

The main officials in the Ministry of Culture are basically Kong Yingda's students, and the three directors are basically controlled by Kong Yingda, except for the director of cultural studies, who is the person of Li Tai, the king of Wei.

The Ministry of Industry and Commerce is naturally Li Dan's world. In this way, Liang Wang Li Su

Two more strong pillars were added to the imperial court.

The functions of the Ministry of Industry were also redivided, and the salt and iron enterprises and arsenals were placed under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Urban Construction and the Ministry of Transportation were also established separately under the Ministry of Industry for urban reconstruction and highway construction. Most of the key officials came from technical schools. On the surface, the Ministry of Works, Shangshu Huang Fu Rui is the prince's person, but in fact, he has long been a diehard loyalist of Li Su.

In this way, the Ministry of Industry was basically controlled by Li Su, the king of Liang.

Since Li Su had the intention of seizing the throne, he set long-term goals, did not rush, and slowly accumulated his strength.

The Chenghui Hall where Concubine Yang lived.

Li Ke has been feeling more and more that there is something wrong with Cen Wenwen recently, especially that day, he should not mention Li Su, the king of Liang, so that his suggestion, which had been recognized by everyone, was overturned again, and it seemed that his knowledge was not as good as Li Su.

He said to Cen Wenwen angrily, "Master, why do you always help King Liang speak? Obviously, my father has agreed with me, why do you want to mention the three evils of King Liang? ”

Concubine Yang said dissatisfiedly: "Ke'er, how did you talk to your master? ”

Cen Wenwen said: "Your Highness, you don't know anything about the affairs of the Western Regions, and you don't know anything about the affairs of Tibet. His Royal Highness King Liang is different, he has the overall situation in his heart, and listening to his opinions is good for Datang. ”

Li Ke was even more dissatisfied, and he said: "You obviously know that he is the one who assists the crown prince, why do you want to help him on that occasion?" ”

Cen Wenwen said solemnly: "You fight with other princes, and the ministers are supportive. However, there is a premise, that is, to defend the Tang Dynasty, if the Tang Dynasty is gone, what are you fighting for? ”

Subsequently, he said categorically: "Whoever damages the Tang Dynasty is the enemy of the minister!" ”

Li Ke was a little anxious, and said, "Lord Cen, since this is the case, you can go and help the three evils." I don't need your help. ”

Concubine Yang was also anxious, she said eagerly: "Ke'er, you are simply unreasonable, what Lord Cen said is right." You hastened to apologize to your master. ”

Li Ke twisted his neck and left without saying a word.

Cen Wenwen looked at his back and silently left tears.

Concubine Yang handed him a handkerchief. Cen Wenwen took it and wiped away his tears and said, "Niangniang, the minister is ashamed that he didn't teach His Royal Highness the King of Shu well." ”

Concubine Yang said: "Ke'er's temper has always been like this, please don't worry about him." I'll talk to him later. ”

Cen Wenwen said firmly: "Niangniang, rest assured, the ministers will always support His Royal Highness the King of Shu." Niangniang's kindness to the minister, even if the minister is broken, he will not hesitate to do so. ”

The ancients took the west as the right, so it was called the west of Longshan as the right of Longshan. The location of Longyou Road is the west of Liupan Mountain in Longshan, Gansu Province, east of Qinghai Lake in Qinghai Province and eastern Xinjiang. The seat of governance was in Shanzhou (now Ledu County, Qinghai).

Li Mengwei, the current Longyou Dao Observer, is 45 years old, medium-sized, with an obese face, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and is one of the 9 generals who followed Li Shimin to participate in the Xuanwumen Change.

On this day, he led the officials of the Yamen to greet the Liang King Li Su and his party.
