Chapter 319: Huaishui again
"After enlightening my father and queen mother, my sons want to repair books." Li Xian bowed down and said.
"What do you mean by that?" Li Zhi asked in surprise.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, it was not a trivial matter, and when the Sui and Tang dynasties were replaced, all kinds of wars were splendid, and they were often hundreds of thousands of people. However, less than one of the five ordinary people survived, and many of the various books were destroyed. The largest collection of books is only the royal family and the major families, so many Confucians come from famous families, which is also the reason. If you want to repair a book, you must look at all kinds of original historical materials, one person can't do it, you need the assistance of many people to repair the book, and some important historical books, only important ministers can get in and out.
Therefore, the revision of books, especially history, has become the prerogative of important ministers. There is another example, in the past, Li Tai, the king of Wei, wanted to revise the "Chronicles of the Kuodi", Li Shimin was also careless, very happy, and quasi-ordered, so the author Lang Xiao Deyan, the secretary Lang Gu Yin, the secretary Jiang Yaqing, Gong Cao joined the army Xie Yan and others wrote together, Wei Wei provided the account, Guanglu Si provided food, and many literary and aristocratic children immediately rushed to the house. Li Tai's flame also rose, faintly above Li Chengqian.
Therefore, Li Chengqian has done a lot of ridiculous actions, although he is not angry, but he is also willing to degenerate under extreme anger.
There is another example, in order to consolidate Li Hong's status in the East Palace, not only let the famous ministers concurrently serve as the East Palace, but also let literary people and celebrities repair books in the East Palace. But after the crown prince grew up, his position was stable, and Li Zhi began to think about it again, and he didn't let Donggong repair books anymore.
Either it was Wu Zetian's note, but she was always the queen, and she didn't expect that she would be the empress in the end. Therefore, no matter how you note the book, you will still be the queen mother in the future, a powerful queen mother, and a light queen mother, will not ascend the throne.
So after Li Xian finished speaking, Li Zhi immediately became surprised and vigilant. It's not easy for Xiao Liuzi to come!
"Father, it's like this, Erchen looked through the "Book of the Later Han", and looked at the versions of various annotations, there are many errors and omissions, and many annotations are ridiculous, so Erchen is not self-conscious, and wants to revise the annotations."
"De'er, you're in too much of a hurry!" Wu Zetian said coldly.
Among the children, Wu Zetian, the princess of Taiping, is the favorite, and the reason in the middle is not only the old and young, but also the death of the eldest daughter, Wu Zetian has always been sorry in his heart. The second is Li Hong, when Li Hong was born, Wu Zetian was in front of a nun in the Ganye Temple, with a bare head and melon seeds, while worshipping the Buddha and chanting the scriptures while breastfeeding the child, the taste of this can only be felt by her. In a bad mood and with no one to serve, Li Hong did not take good care of him, and when he grew up, he began to be weak and sickly.
Li Wei didn't know much about all this. This is also due to her strong personality, and she would rather send a dagger than a meal of horse food. These heart-warming words cannot be said to others except to their husbands.
Therefore, he also cares for Li Hong. But the deeper the love, the more the hate. When his son grew up, he didn't remember the difficulties of his mother and son at that time, and he went against himself everywhere, and Wu Zetian made several killings. But then she suddenly changed, and she continued to do what she was angry about, but she could also know that she was asking for warmth. If you can't let go of your rights, you can taste the feeling of being a mother. It turned out that I didn't think it, even my son didn't feel it when he went to the southwest. But since leaving Luoyang, I felt a little dangerous, and I regretted it in my heart, thinking of the benefits several times.
At least except for the youngest daughter, none of the other three sons held her hand affectionately, or even hugged her emotionally. He even regretted that he did not dissuade his husband.
Li Xian's small move, don't talk about her, even Li Zhi can't even think of hiding it. As soon as the eldest brother leaves, the opportunity is rare, and it is impossible to be a prince. Therefore, he adopted a roundabout tactic, repaired the book first, and openly borrowed the name of repairing the book to interact with important ministers and literary talents, or win them over.
"The queen mother, the sons are puzzled." Li Xian said loudly.
Listen to my father's words, this mother, I don't listen, a ruthless woman, the eldest brother is so aggrieved to her, and she has to be pressed everywhere. The daughter-in-law of the third child said that she would kill her, and she also starved to death to kill. If she is lucky enough to inherit the unification in the future, she will first be sent to the cold palace and return the world to peace!
"This palace often hears that you are mean in the palace, and today I know how mean you are. Your eldest brother treated you like that, and now he is going to Qinghai to fight bloodily, and he is still training in Chang'an, raising supplies, and has not left Jingzhao, so you can't wait. How did this palace raise your son! Wu Zetian was also angry, he used to say that the eldest son was disobedient, but even the eldest son used some small means a few years ago, and he didn't dare to talk back to himself so loudly!
"The queen mother, the sons are still puzzled, why is it not good for the eldest brother to repair the book? So what should be the explanation of the Queen Mother's revision? ”
"Presumptuous!" Li Zhi shouted.
"Yes."
"Since you want to repair the book, then go and repair it, I will issue an edict and let Zhang Da'an, Dushui Supervisor Liu Nayan, Luozhou Sihu Ge Xixuan, Bachelor Xu Shuya, Cheng Xuan, Shi Zang, and Zhou Baoning help you."
"Yes," this time Li Xian's voice lowered. These people, including Zhang Da'an, are all people who are good at literature, but not only that, most of them are ministers close to him, according to the current saying, they are the Yongwang Party. It seems that the father is still in control.
Li Xian left, and Wu Zetian complained: "Your Majesty, why do you want to agree? ”
"Hong'er left, and I regretted it. But the edict has been issued, and Hong'er has a stubborn personality, if he learns from Xian'er and they don't go to Qinghai, I won't blame them, otherwise I won't retain Li Jingxuan's position as the general manager. But as soon as the edict was written, he left Luoyang immediately. I can't regret it, so I will issue a new edict to let him come back, so that the front-line soldiers will lose their morale immediately. This is a self-consoling word, but it does have some guilt, and it is indeed not good to call Li Wei to return to Luoyang from Chang'an and not to Qinghai.
"Qinghai is in danger, and I'm worried about what happens...... Be prepared. It's really not good, when Hong'er returned from Qinghai, he also polished it for another year and a half, and his age was about the same, and he was still expected by everyone, and I was in him. ”
Hearing the word Zen position, Wu Zetian immediately stopped talking.
……
"The front is quasi-water," after Sizhou City, the Grand Canal turned around and turned towards the Huai River. Di Renjie stood at the bow of the boat and said.
Li Wei went on an expedition, and some people were full of the emperor, thinking that the emperor deliberately put the prince in danger and had "bad intentions". So Li Zhi made some amends. The three provinces immediately negotiated the salt and iron division, and the prince went to Qinghai, without dispute, and calmed down to negotiate. Previously, it was planned to hang the Salt and Iron Division in the Taifu Temple, and set up a special office, just like the Taifu Temple Chenghuang Department, the Warden Department, the Pastoral Office, and the Chefu Department, but the Salt and Iron Division has a large jurisdiction, not only salt and sugar, but also iron and copper and other metal deposits, as well as tea, and the proportion of taxes accounted for by salt and sugar is also getting heavier and heavier. Therefore, in the end, it was divided into the household department, and it was still called the salt and iron division, but the authority was equal to the household department, the degree branch, the gold department, and the warehouse department, and there were also a number of people in charge of the director, the history of the order, the history of the book and the history of the calculation, and the official position of the salt and iron envoy was also formalized.
However, all the grassroots, there are many places where the rights overlap with other departments, punish the precept of Tianshui, the officials who take office must be honest, but honesty is not enough, the authority is very vague in many places, the first official salt and iron envoy must also be talented, after two or three years of governance, the negotiations are clear, and the foundation for future succession has been laid.
Li Zhi thought about it and let Wei Yuanzhong take the position of salt and iron ambassador.
Then he let Di Renjie serve as the assassin of Suzhou, which was originally a wealthy state in the Tang Dynasty, and supervised the sea market with the city ship. At the beginning, it was still Guangzhou in the lead, and it had nothing to do with the people of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, Guangzhou has the convenience of depressed water, which can radiate the entire Lingnan area.
But in the gradual transfer, there is no big river in Quanzhou, but the whole Fujian region is more mountainous and less land, and there are many people, since ancient times, this place is forced by the environment, heavy industry and commerce, not like industry and commerce, forced, do not let go of the sea, and there are many people who go to sea privately. It is also a shipbuilding base, not only Quanzhou, but also many areas of the Tang Dynasty have docks, but they are all inland river ships. For civil ships, there are still the most shipyards in Quanzhou, and the quality of the ships built is also the best. Therefore, it quickly became active.
But it is still inferior to Suzhou, mainly the Yangtze River Canal, which can radiate Yangzhou, Chuzhou, Bianzhou, and even Liangjing. The Yangtze River can radiate Jiangzhou, Ezhou, Jingzhou, and go as far as Bashu. Since this year, it has begun to overtake the other two cities. Therefore, the history of Suzhou thorns, the heavier the authority.
The two are competent in office, but because they are the core members of the prince, they are jealous of Li Zhi, and they have been suppressed until now and have not been promoted. This can be regarded as a compensation for the crown prince.
"Di Envoy, I still don't want you to move." Wei Yuanzhong looked at the wide Huai River and said.
"What's the explanation?"
"You see, as soon as you left Dali Temple in front, Dr. Wu Shuzhi of Taichang wrote to Ming Chongyan to transfer him back to the capital to heal His Majesty."
"The Taichang Medical Department was originally under the jurisdiction of Taichang Temple, and as an official of Taichang Temple, he is naturally responsible for His Majesty's body." Di Renjie said lightly.
"Do you really think so?"
"Wei Yuanjun, you don't know about me. The emperor's health has been good and bad in recent years, but the prince has been in the East Palace, and he is afraid that the prince will cause some trouble again, so he has not summoned Ming Chongyan back to Beijing. Now the crown prince has just left the Eastern Capital, and the people are still in Xijing and have not left, and they still won't be summoned. But not long after, without anyone's advice, it is very likely that Ming Chongyan will be recalled again. In fact, what Ming Chongyan did was too eager...... I also know another thing about him, in order to return to the capital, in addition to the money dedicated to King Yong, he spent 60,000 or 70,000 yuan, and the local government bought the officials of the people, said good things for him, and praised him up and down. and opened the door in the capital. If there is no accident, another 20,000 or 30,000 yuan is on the way to the capital. ”
"This man is a hero."
Such a large cost is not a small amount, and it is possible that the profits from Yangzhou's salt drying are almost empty for him. If you change it to an ordinary person, you will never be willing to do it.
"It's not a hero, how can you have such great ambitions! It's just that evil does not suppress good, this is the principle of heaven and earth, he has embarked on the evil road, and he never wants to turn over and be a man in this life! ”
Wei Yuanzhong was silent, and looked to the west of the Huai River, where Shenzhou was in the upper reaches of the Huai River.
"Wei Envoy Jun, it's not just him, the prince hasn't really left yet, once he sets off from Jingzhao and rushes to Qinghai, all kinds of people will jump out one after another, and then it will be the real group of demons dancing. But this is also good, the prince jumped out of the Three Realms, avoided this limelight, and let the conscientious ministers and the people see it, so that they can know who they should support. In fact, why does it need to evolve like this, Your Majesty will eventually grow old...... As for Ming Chongyan and Wei Envoy, I want him to arrive in the capital instead. If you don't go to the capital, the minister's arrangement will have no effect. Only when he arrives in the capital can the minister's arrangements be interlocked. When the prince returned from Qinghai safely, he could also find the best opportunity to settle the situation in one fell swoop and put an end to this chaotic scene in the whole country. ”
But when he said this, his tone softened.
The crown prince will succeed to the throne as soon as possible, which is beneficial to the country, but he can sit back and watch this guy Ming Chongyan, arrive in the capital with those aphrodisiacs, and then take the opportunity to give it to the queen...... It's also a big rebellion.
