Since Mo Li returned from overseas, he has never gone out with the fleet, and Ma Huaiyuan took over the opening of Datang's overseas trade routes and the protection of the caravan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn the spring of the fifth year of Dingding, Feng Dao stepped down as prime minister and was replaced by Mo Li, and at the same time, Wang Pu served as deputy minister.

After Mo Li became prime minister, the first major thing he handled was to implement the college grading system across the country and gradually improve the college system. In Luoyang University, the academic encyclopedia has been basically formed, although the division of arts and sciences is still relatively large in the former, but the proportion of the latter is also constantly improving, with the progress of the entire Datang science and technology level, science is bound to flourish.

It is worth mentioning that Li Congke's son Li Chongmei has made a basic model of the steam engine and is trying to build it in kind, and Li Congjing has reason to believe that in the near future, the scientific and technological revolution will break out.

In the fourth year of Dingding, the Western Regions were peaceful, and the war in Yikun Prefecture was also announced, and after that, Li Congjing focused on civil affairs in governing the country. During this period, Li Congjing did not do much, but everything was a big thing.

First of all, he eliminated the responsibility of Dali Temple to handle the case, and promoted the official product of Dali Temple to a product, and Su Yuqi served as the secretary of the temple, specializing in the improvement of the Tang Dynasty's law, among them, the "Tang Law" that has been promulgated is the crystallization of labor, this "Tang Law", which is equivalent to the status of the "Wude Law", all play the role of the Constitution, therefore, the Dali Temple officially became the legislative body, and will continue to improve the Tang Dynasty's law.

Secondly, the expansion of the Goshidai. Originally, the institutions under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Historical Observatory were set up in the state, and Li Congjing promoted them to the county, and the responsibilities remained basically the same, except that the impeachment system was changed to the case filing and investigation system. Before, the impeachment of officials by the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory paid attention to the hearsay, that is, as long as they heard the rumors, they could be impeached, and as for whether it was true or not, it was handed over to other departments for verification, even if it was verified that it was not true, they did not have to be responsible, and the content involved was also in all aspects, from corruption to bad morality, they could be impeached. Nowadays, it is stipulated that institutions at all levels of the Imperial Historical Observatory shall supervise officials in accordance with the rules in the "Tang Law", and when they perceive that officials are illegal, they will first file a case, and then investigate, and the evidence is conclusive, and then investigate. As a result, Goshidai officially became an inspection agency.

Third, rectify the Criminal Department. After the establishment of the branch of the Criminal Department to the province, the case-handling function has been separated from the officials at all levels, and is not subject to the jurisdiction of political envoys, assassins, and county decrees.

These are all civil affairs parts, and Li Congjing also has moves in military and political affairs.

First of all, the Yanwu Academy was expanded and branches of the Yanwu Academy were established in provinces and prefectures.

Second, on this basis, the conscription system was changed to a conscription system, that is, a system that combines professional officers with ordinary non-commissioned officers, and required that, in addition to the army commander, officers above the rank of the team must go through the academy for further study -- non-commissioned officers who have made meritorious contributions on the battlefield should be promoted to officers, and after the war, they must also go to the academy to study. In addition, ordinary soldiers are elected every three years, listen to the tune during wartime, and take turns guarding the Beijing division and border passes in non-wartime.

Third, the Marshal of Soldiers and Horses was changed to the Military Office of the General Staff of the World, that is, the actual General Staff Office, with one chief and deputy chief of staff, 12 staff officers, and 36 reporters.

Affected by this, the original plan of sending troops to the Khitan in the sixth year of Dingding was changed to seven years of Dingding.

......

The seventh year of Dingding was an extraordinary year in the history of the empire.

Spring, Chongwen Palace.

"Let women also go to the academy?" When Mo Li heard Li Congjing's proposal, he was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought, "I'm afraid I can't." ”

Li Congjing said: "I also know that it is not easy to implement this matter, mainly because it is difficult for the world to accept, but it can start from the family members of officials and gradually move forward." ”

Mo Li muttered: "Even if it starts from the family members of officials, but since they have entered the academy, they must learn to be useful after they have completed their studies, do they want these women to also become officials?" ”

Li Congjing had already thought a lot about this matter, and had some plans in his heart, and said slowly: "Then there is no need to force it." After a woman completes her studies, whether she is a husband or child at home, or a career or a businessman, she can let the times choose for themselves. ”

"Let the times choose their own ......" Mo Li showed a contemplative look.

Li Congjing nodded.

Mo Li pondered and said, "How does Your Majesty plan to start with this matter?" ”

Li Congjing said: "It's not difficult to run a women's college, but the difficult thing is to convene gentlemen, and the gentlemen at the moment are afraid that they are unwilling to teach women." In this case, let the families of those knowledgeable officials shoulder this responsibility. ”

Mo Li's eyes gradually brightened, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

Li Congjing smiled, "After the opening of Luoyang Women's College, let the queen put on a name and let the imperial prince teach ......" Speaking of this, he paused, "For example, Princess Yongning." ”

......

Princess Yongning was very happy after listening to Li Congjing's account of the women's college and her suggestion to invite her to serve as the main sacrificial wine. It is no longer possible to express her attitude to say that she is happy, but it is said that she is excited.

"Since ancient times, we women have not been without sages, and those deeds and legends that have been passed down through the ages do not also show the attitude of the world towards women? It's just that for thousands of years, few women have become officials, and they have found out the roots, or Confucian retro ideas are at work. Li Yongning's eyes lit up and he said to Li Congjing, eager to try.

Li Congjing smiled: "You can't be too anxious, in the final analysis, this matter still has to be gradual, because there is a lot of resistance to implementation...... As for the management of the women's college, I will leave it all to you, and I will let Du Qianshu explain the matter to you in detail. ”

Li Yongning smiled and said: "You can rest assured about this matter, I won't mislead you." ”

Li Congjing nodded.

On this matter, the two talked for a long time, and Li Yongning left unsatisfied, leaving in high spirits, as if he was going to do something big.

After Li Congjing finished his government affairs, he returned to the harem and went to the palace to rest.

"Are you going to use troops against the Khitan this year?" Tao Yaoyao asked while serving Li Congjing to rest.

Li Congjing bowed slightly, "This matter must be done, if you don't destroy the Khitan, you won't be able to send troops to Tibet...... The environment in Tibet is even worse than that of Anxi, and it must be done with all its might. ”

Tao Yaoyao said with a smile: "Speaking of Anxi, since the reconstruction of the Anxi Protectorate, the caravan has become more and more prosperous, and because Mo Li has opened up overseas trade routes, I don't know how many merchants are flocking to Datang from all sides...... I heard that someone has already advised you to rebuild Daming Palace, the temple of the Silk Road? ”

Li Congjing closed his eyes and enjoyed Tao Yaoyao massaging her shoulders, "Let's talk about destroying Tubo...... The major issue at the moment is to send troops to the Khitan and solve the problem of post-war reconstruction of the Khitan. ”

Tao Yaoyao obviously didn't have much interest in military and political affairs, or said that there was nothing to solve, she asked leisurely: "What about Yelumin, how do you solve it?" Since ancient times, it has been the Tang Dynasty and the pro-ethnic groups, don't you always think about opening a precedent for the various ethnic groups and the pro-me Datang? If Yelu Min is accepted, it will be much easier to rule the Khitan. ”

Li Congjing smiled, "This kind of thing is a lot in the West, but it is rare in us...... But it's not impossible, not everything in the world is necessarily absolute. ”

......

West Building, North Courtyard Prime Minister's Mansion.

Yelu Min received an urgent secret guarantee, lost his mind for a long time, thought for a long time, and then called Kang Mo Ji.

"Your Majesty is going to send the army north again?" When Kang Moji arrived, he was surprised and delighted when he heard the news from Yelumin's mouth.

Ye Lu Min nodded, and said sadly: "The matter of Khitan will have to be resolved sooner or later. ”

Kang Moji can understand Yelumin's mood, so he restrained the color of surprise, although it is Yelumin's lifelong pursuit to turn the Khitan into China and make the Khitan people have enough food and clothing, but the Tang army went north, which means that the Khitan "national annihilation", Yelumin can't have no sorrow in his heart.

"It's just such a military matter, how could Your Majesty notify me in advance?" Commerji pondered.

Yelu Min also restrained her poignant look, after all, the big event is coming, there is no room for fiddling with personal emotions, what is needed is to move forward without scruples, for Ye Lu Min, turning the Khitan into China is also the way out for the Khitan she believes, "The Tang Army is coming north this time, and we need to make corresponding preparations, and everything after the war and the war needs to be carefully planned." ”

Comer nodded and then asked, "So...... Your Majesty is not afraid to leak the news in advance, so that Yelu Deguang is prepared? ”

Yelu Min smiled, his expression complicated, "Sir, do you still think that Li Congjing is afraid that Yelu Deguang is prepared?" ”

Commo opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Indeed, after the battle of Yikun Prefecture in the first two years, Yelu Deguang in the Khitan country sent thousands of horses, and the pro-Tang faction was infinitely beautiful, and now the Tang army is about to arrive north, Li Congjing is not worried about the Khitan soldiers and horses at all, maybe some people do not understand, in fact, Li Congjing is even worried that Yelu Deguang is not well prepared, what he needs is that in the case of Yelu Deguang gathering all the resistance forces of the Khitan, he will march in a dignified manner, destroy the country in a fair and righteous manner, and justify the sinicization, so that no one in the Khitan will be dissatisfied.

This is Li Congjing's will, and it is also Datang's confidence.

......

A few years ago, the whole steppe was quite a three-legged trend, the Eastern Khitan, the Middle Tatar, the Northwest Uighurs, and the Tunjas. Over the years, the northern part of the steppe has generally fallen into the hands of the Huangjiasi, bordering Murwei and Khitan in the east, and the Tatar department in the south of the steppe has been in a slump since the first battle of Yunzhou and the destruction of 60,000 soldiers and horses, and the sphere of influence has gradually been compressed, and some small tribes in the west have taken advantage of the situation.

Tatar king's tent.

The sound of dogs and horses in the tent, singing and dancing, is very lively.

Barassi was drinking endlessly, hugging left and right, and indulging in pleasure.

"Khan, urgent military report!" Suddenly, a man hurried into the tent and bowed down before Barashi to report it.

"Military newspapers?" Barasi was startled, pushed the left and right beauties away, and was sitting anxiously asking, "Isn't the Tang Army coming?!" ”

"No, the Tang army of Feng, Sheng, and Yun has not moved, it is the military situation in the west...... Another small tribe declared that it had broken away from the king's tent and sent an envoy to Luoyang to pay tribute! "Someone came to present the military newspaper.

"There is no change in the Tang Army...... That's good. Barasi breathed a sigh of relief, didn't read the military newspaper, waved his hand to let the visitor retreat, and hugged the beauty into his arms, "A little small tribe, you can't make much waves, don't pay attention to it." ”

"Khan ......"

"What else?" Barassi frowned impatiently.

Not more ambitious than the early years, since the Dingding three years of attack on Yunzhou was frustrated, he was also captured alive, was escorted to Luoyang, along the way to see the Tang Dynasty's strength, Balaxi completely lost the mind of committing the Tang Dynasty again, although he was released after the war, but what came back was just an indulgent body, the soul with thousands of aspirations, has long been missing.

"Recently, Princess Ahri has sent a message back, so that the Khan can work political affairs and have less wine and pleasure......"

"Get out!"
