Luoyang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the late summer, the rain is abundant, although Luoyang is located in the north of the Qinling Mountains, the annual precipitation is not the same as that of Huainan, but there is no lack of heavy rain in a row.

This heavy rain lasted for three whole days, and the streets and squares in Luoyang City were all covered in a rain curtain that could not be seen. The eaves of the rain fall like flowers, the rain falls on the stone steps as crisp as a piano, and the umbrella people walking in the rain naturally have a strong spirit of the walkers.

On the third day, the heavy rain did not show its lightness, but in the afternoon it suddenly increased, and it became a torrential rain, the sky was dark, and the streets with few pedestrians were even cleaner.

Dingdingmen Street, which extends south from the imperial palace to the south city gate, is almost empty on the hundred-step-wide street, and the raindrops of beans fall on the royal road in the middle of the street, shattering on the bluestone slabs, and the north-south avenues at both ends are muddy.

A carriage that looks extremely ordinary in terms of size and decoration, is speeding north on Dingdingmen Street, the coachman in the coat and hat raises the horsewhip in his hand, and the sound of the horsewhip waving and slapping is not in the huge rain. The rain fell on the horse's body, and the splash of water connected into a line, and the horse's muscles were delicate at this moment, accompanied by a powerful galloping action, and the horse's hooves left one concave deep mark after another on the street.

Suddenly, the iron horseshoe that appeared early because of Li Congjing trampled on the masonry royal road, and a crisp and rapid sound sounded, and a messenger galloped past the carriage, and the moment the two horses entered head to head, the hat flew away from the messenger, turned around twice in the air, and landed on the muddy street.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the wind and rain poured in instantly, pouring on Su Fengji's slightly pale face, he glanced at the riding messenger, lowered the curtain, lifted the front curtain, and said to the groom in a deep voice: "Stop." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help coughing twice, and the groom glanced back at Su Fengji, who was still sick, and slowly parked the carriage on the side of the road.

"Unzip the car cover." Su Fengji asked the groom to take off his hat and coat, put it on himself, and prepared to go horseback riding.

"Ming Gong, you are seriously ill, how can you be exposed to the rain?" The coachman was in a hurry.

Su Fengji ignored the coachman's obstruction, and when he got out of the car, his body shook, and his steps were a little vain, but his expression was extremely resolute, "I have been sick for a few days, if it is not a major event, Your Majesty will not be urgently summoned at this time." If my eyesight is correct, the rider who just passed is an envoy from the north, and there must be a major military situation this time......"

After saying these words, Su Fengji climbed on the horse's back with the support of the coachman, and then said no more, whipping away in the rain. The coachman looked at Su Fengji, who was swaying from side to side on horseback, and was really worried that he would fall off.

Dingdingmen Street in the rain is more wide and far-reaching, the towering trees on both sides of the street are lush and green, and Su Fengji hidden in the rain curtain is like a drop in the ocean, small and not worth mentioning. The coachman is an old soldier who has retired from the army, he looked at Su Fengji's back that he gradually couldn't see clearly, and the sound of rain in his ears was like the sound of drums.

The coachman is a very ordinary Tang man, and Su Fengji is the same, but this situation, standing on the wide street of the majestic Shendu, looking at the majestic imperial city gate that is vaguely recognizable in the distance, as well as the towering Daming Hall, there is an indescribable feeling, lingering in the coachman's heart, lingering.

This is an era that belongs to the Tang people, even though there are storms, lightning and thunder.

......

After Su Fengji rushed to Chongwen Palace, he was arranged to wait in the side hall, shook the rain in the corridor, took off his clothes and handed them to the waiter, a series of footprints on the ground were wet, took off his shoes and entered the hall, Su Fengji found that Su Yuqi and Zhang Yilou were also there, not only that, but even Jiang Wenwei, Zhang Yi, and Zhu Yuan, who had not met for a long time, also appeared.

Different from the top three Jinshi in the second year of Changxing, they can only be called rising stars, Su Fengji, Su Yuqi, and Zhang Yilou, who are the bull's ears among the scholars in the second year of Tiancheng, are now in charge of the ruling side in the court. Su Fengji, who judged the branch, was the most important finance minister in the court, and he could gather wealth and spend money, and the money he handled every day was incalculable. How to make the treasury more abundant is Su Fengji's greatest responsibility, and it is difficult to say which is more important than the status and the three envoys.

Su Yuqi of the Sentencing Department is the sword man in charge of the rule of law in the Tang Dynasty, and in the court, he repairs the law and improves the code, and inspects the provinces, states and counties to let the local officials walk on thin ice. Su Yujue's ambition is to establish an all-encompassing complete code for the imperial court, so that the way to govern the country becomes the rule of law in the world, and his people are privately called "today's Shang Jun" by some officials - Qin to rule the country, the Han Dynasty created the art of governing the country with external Confucianism and internal law, although there are many twists and turns in the future, but it is always the mainstream, not to mention this dynasty, some people compare Su Yuqi to Wei Ying, which shows the weight of Su Yuju.

Zhang Yilou is needless to say, although in the early days of the "Second Su" fame, he was still unknown, but as Li Congjing's old man when he went out of the town of Youzhou, although he was not as famous as the "Four Great Talents" Mo Li, Wang Pu, Wei Dao, and Du Qianshu, but it will not be sent to the later Sang Weihan and others, in today's "Four Great Talents", Fei Gaozhang, Zhao Zhongming and other old people in Youzhou occupy important positions, and the "Youzhou faction" officials are greatly used by the imperial court. Now he is walking in the two provinces under the Zhongshu Gate, this situation, his person is already the tacit candidate of the court, as for whether he will become the ruling prime minister in the future, or the governor who assumes the responsibility of the deputy minister, it depends on his own creation.

Most of the discerning people in the court know that in the Ming Dynasty, the center was centered on Feng Dao, Ren Yuan, An Chongxue, Li Qi and others, and the four phases of government or even the five dynasties were the norm, not counting those who were crowned with the title of "Tongping Zhangshi", and in fact did not govern the government and the opposition dignitaries, this kind of system of taking many people as prime ministers, actually weakening the authority of the prime minister, and centralizing power in the hands of the emperor was determined by the general trend of the division of the world and the formation of feudal towns during the period of Zhuangzong and Mingzong. It is no longer applicable, not only those who know it, but all the officials who have some insight also know that when Li Qi and others are either ranked as the third duke, or they are crowned servants, the old prime ministers have actually retreated to the second line while reaping the honor, and the real power vacated has been handed over to the officials of the former Qin Wangfu, which is an irreversible trend.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the officials of the Qin palace received authority, which is not only a sign that the emperor holds the power of the empire today, but also because, as his own "old man", the emperor knows the talents and character of these people, and they are easy to use. Under such circumstances, Li Congjing took advantage of the situation to reform the situation of several ministers in power into a system in which one prime minister was in power and the deputy minister was assisted, and the three envoys and privy envoys were divided into powers.

At present, although Feng Dao is still the prime minister, but in fact it is just a transitional period for the transfer of power, and when Mo Li returns from the sea, whether it is qualifications or merits, he is the best candidate for prime minister, although Feng Dao is talented, but the old man does not abdicate, and the newcomer is difficult to come out, for the emperor, who is more talented, who is more suitable for the position of prime minister, after all, the current Tang Dynasty, there is only one prime minister.

After the old ministers of Mingzong retreated to the second line, the power will be transferred to the hands of the officials of the former Qin Palace, and the officials of the Qin Palace, and the officials of the Qin Dynasty will be the mainstay of the team cultivated when Li Congjing went out of Youzhou, so there will be a situation in the court where the officials of the "Youzhou faction" are in charge. In terms of order, after this, it is the time for the outstanding scholars who emerged during the Tiancheng and Changxing years to really take the throne, and the current situation of "two Su and one" holding the authority of one party reflects that in the eyes of the current Tang Emperor, the old officials of the Qin Wangfu cannot fully meet the current demand for talents in the Tang Dynasty.

What is eclectic talent? Not following the order of the transfer of power, let the newcomers come out early, this is.

When everyone saw the ceremony, Jiang Wenwei, Zhu Yuan, Zhang Yi and other young generations were very respectful, after all, they were facing one of the famous "two Sus", although they themselves have made many meritorious achievements, but there is no reason to be proud of it.

Outside the window, it was raining heavily, Su Fengji had just come from the rain, although he was wearing a coat and hat, his body was still inevitably contaminated with rain, especially the cuffs and trouser hems were wet a lot, and the coolness came straight from the soles of his feet to his head, fortunately, hot tea was served in the hall, and Su Fengji sat down with a bowl of hot soup in his stomach, but he didn't feel cold. Su Yuqi is still a widow and a few words, there is no superfluous expression on his facial features, it is rare that he does not look dull and cold, and he is responsible for warming up, especially when the two Su blow their noses and stare at each other, and Zhang Yilou who is thin mud, there are not many words today, originally Su Fengji was the one who talked the most, but since he saw Su Yuqi and Zhang Yilou, he knew that the previous speculation on the street was not wrong, and now the emperor summoned the three people whose functions do not intersect with each other, there must be something big, There's no appetite for lip service at the moment.

Suddenly, the sound of the case came from the main hall, and then the emperor's angry shouts sounded, Su Fengji and the others looked at each other, and they all saw the solemnity in each other's eyes, and after a while, a slightly hurried footsteps sounded, and an official walked through the door with his neck bent.

Looking at the shrunken official, Zhang Yilou sighed lightly: "Today's third." ”

Su Fengji lowered his voice and asked, "It's rare to see Your Majesty angry, what's wrong today?" ”

The eaves outside the door dripped, and over the years, small pits were smashed in the masonry, and Zhang Yilou retracted his gaze, "Whether Your Majesty is angry or not has nothing to do with the heart, but whether there is a need to be angry." Just like right now, if Your Majesty is not angry, some people will not know that Your Majesty hates them to the extreme, and if Your Majesty is not angry, they will not know Your Majesty's determination to send troops. ”

Su Fengji said in a deep voice: "At this juncture, there are still people who advise His Majesty not to send troops?" ”

Seeing Su Fengji's incomprehensible and unbelievable expression, Su Yuqi sneered: "The enemy soldiers are pressing the border, the border troubles are rising, some people are wolf-minded and ambitious, disregard the law of the country, and do rebellious things. ”

Su Fengji looked at Su Yujue, the flickering chill in the other party's eyes made him a little puzzled, as the de facto Minister of Law Enforcement, Su Fengji rarely saw Su Yujue have a special look of joy and anger when others did not break the law.

Su Yuqi didn't let Su Fengji wait long, he continued to say coldly: "The courtiers who advise Your Majesty are all full of reason, and even full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. The so-called great chaos in the world has been going on for a long time, and now it is the favor of the heavens, the thieves are pacified, the four seas are peaceful, and Kyushu is unified. ”

Su Fengji laughed and laughed, "Hexi and the Western Regions have not yet been pacified, how can we talk about the unification of the world?" ”

"In the land of the border, not a single inch of grass grows, and it is useless to ask for it; The army guarding the border will waste money and harm the country; The people outside the fortress drink blood, and they are unbearable to educate. Therefore, the importance of governing the country lies in the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River. What Su Yuqi said was naturally the remarks of some courtiers.

Su Fengji couldn't help but sneer: "Don't want the territory that the ancestors have beaten down?" ”

Su Yuqi said: "What's the difference? Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, when the boundaries of the land should be re-surveyed, why should you follow the example of the ancients? ”

Su Fengji said with a gloomy face: "If a foreign enemy enters the Kou, he will not be a teacher?" ”

"If you go out of school, you will work for the people and lose your money, it is to hurt the country and harm the people, and you can't make the border troubles forever, the way of goodness, the ancestors of the law, and the relatives, and give money."

"When you abandon your territory, you don't follow the example of the ancients, but now when you talk about harmony, you have to follow the example of your ancestors?"

"How can you reason with people who talk nonsense with this generation?"

Su Fengji fell silent, and said with a wry smile after half a sound: "How can there be such people in the world? ”

"There are more of them." Su Yuqi sneered, "Speaking out, giving advice, leaving the reputation of a direct minister who dares to admonish, harming the name of the king and achieving his own name, pretending to be shocking, pretending to be contrary to the facts, is nothing more than grandstanding and attracting people's attention." ”

Zhang Yilou smiled bitterly: "The point is that these people often think that they are very reasonable. ”

Sighing lightly, Zhang Yilou continued: "If you calculate an account and send troops to the outside world, it is indeed 'beyond your means', but if everything is based on the entry and exit of money, how much should the hearts of the Tang people, the pride of the Tang people, and the majesty of the Tang people be worth?" ”

Su Fengji was silent for a moment and asked, "How does Your Majesty treat these people?" ”

"Gone to jail." Su Yuqi said.

"To prison? If the scholar is not convicted for his words, how can he send the official to prison this time? Su Fengji was a little surprised.

"That was before." Su Yuqi said amazingly.

Su Fengji looked at Su Yuqi in a daze, not knowing why.

"A soldier is not convicted for his words, but a foreign enemy who dares to speak up and be close to him, and would rather give up the territory of his ancestors just to steal peace, is because he cannot distinguish between right and wrong, and is a word that brings disaster to the country and the people. If the crimes of such people are not cured, but they are allowed to wear official robes and swagger through the market, how can the imperial court guide the people of the world to know right from wrong and be ambitious? If the sins of such people are not cured, will not everyone in the world be full of nonsense? Su Yuqi said coldly.

Su Fengji stopped talking and pondered for a while, "I understand, Your Majesty summoned you this time to reinterpret the definition of 'a scholar is not guilty for words' and write it into the law. ”

"It's more than that." Su Yuqi said.

"What else?" Su Fengji asked.

"Brother Su should know that the law does not punish the guilty, and the 'scholar is not guilty for his words', why? Just because speech is just speech, the scholar official is responsible for making speech, but whether his words are carried out or not is not the person who makes the speech. Su Yuqi said.

"Therefore, Your Majesty wants to redefine 'a scholar is not guilty of his words'."

"No, what Your Majesty wants to redefine is the law!"

"What?"

"For thousands of years, the art of Confucianism and internal law outside the court has governed the country and used the law, but it has been covered up in every possible way, and it is unwilling to say the law, and what the government and the opposition are talking about can only be the way of Confucianism.

"So what?"

"What is Outer Confucianism and Inner Law? It is nothing more than eight words: the law governs crimes, and Confucianism governs the heart. ”

"Yes, yes."

"The truth is that Confucianism cannot cure the mind."

"Confucianism has indeed had many drawbacks to this day."

"It's not all."

"What else?"

"Confucianism is the study of hypocrisy, duplicity, insincerity, unclear right and wrong, no distinction between morality and righteousness, using it to govern the country, misleading the country and the people!"

"Brother Su's words are too narrow-minded."

"How to talk about intolerance, that's what it is! The way of governing the country, its prestige, should be more important than the king's words, saying one is not the same, its benefits, should be more than the long sword on the head, if it does not fit, it will fall. The foundation of Confucianism lies in benevolence, righteousness and morality, and if the country is governed by it, then the unfilial should be imprisoned, the unrighteous should be punished, and the unkind should be punished! Why is it that the son does not serve his parents, but is only reprimanded and scolded? People betray their relatives and friends, and they can still live freely? The owner exploits the guys, but no one cares? The way of governing the country should be as bright as the sun and the moon, not allowing dirt to be hidden, and when it should be as strict as a military order, it should be analyzed in detail, and everything has rules to follow! Otherwise, the people will be confused and will not know what to do. Confucianism governs the country, those who conform to this way will not be rewarded, and those who disobey this way will not be punished, where is the dignity of the country? If the king does not do what he says, he has no prestige, and the subjects play it, and the world is in chaos; If the way of governing the country is preached day by day, but if we do not reward the good and punish the evil according to it, will it not increase the laughter in vain? Hundreds of states and nearly 1,000 counties in Datang, thousands of people, how many thousands of things in the world, governing a big country is like cooking small fresh, how can you not be demanding details? Not to mention that everything has rules to follow, if there are no rules to follow, it will cause endless harm. This kind of Confucianism governs the country like this, everything is secretive, everything is ambiguous, like being a thief, for fear that the voice will be loud, and there is no intention of being upright. Governing the country like this is no different from a child's play country! ”

After Su Yuji said this, Su Fengji was dumbfounded, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

The pin drop in the hall was heard for a while, and Jiang Wenwei, Zhang Yi, Zhu Yuan and others also looked at each other in surprise and forgot about their conversations.

Su Fengji choked in his throat, wanting to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

After a long time, he asked Su Yuqi with a wry smile, "Then according to Brother Su's opinion, what should I do?" ”

Su Yuqi said awe-inspiringly: "Since Confucianism can't cure the heart, then let the law come!" ”

"Does the law heal the heart?"

"The law is righteous!"

"What is the righteousness of the law?"

"Brother Su can know that Qin Law is written, officials arrest and steal in the city, and those who do not help the officials when the people see it are regarded as guilty, and those who help the officials are rewarded; If a person commits a disease in the way and does not send him to the hospital when he sees it, he is regarded as guilty, and those who send him to the hospital will be rewarded. People say that the law is strict, and if the country is governed by the law, there is no mercy, how can it be bored! What is the Law? The lawgiver also rules! The text of the law sets the rules for the words and deeds of all the people of the world, so that the people know what they can do and what they cannot do, and above that, they know what is right and what is wrong, and then go up from there, and know who is rewarded and who is punished. Therefore it is said, "The lawgiver also rewards and punishes!" Reward without punishment is not law, and punishment without reward is not law! The law is one of them. What is the law that can only punish sin, but not the good law? The foundation of the law is not to punish sin, but to put an end to sin, and to guide people to goodness! If there is a punishment, there will be no evil, and if there is a reward, there will be good deeds, both of which are indispensable. The people know the rewards and punishments, then they know the advance and retreat, the world is less evil and more good, is no one care? It's a human touch. Brotherhood and brotherhood, good neighborliness and kindness, and the mutual benefit of kings and ministers, whether it depends on benevolence, righteousness and morality, or by the system of rewards and punishments, is it not clear? ”

After Su Yuqi finished speaking, he paused, and concluded: "The way to govern the country is to govern the people first, and to govern the country by the law, if the law cannot govern the people, how can it be the law?" The method of governing people, when divided into black and white, knows right and wrong, knows right and wrong, these three can speak the right people's hearts. If the people's hearts are right, then the country's hearts are right, at that time, the government and the opposition, who will pay tribute when foreign enemies enter the country? Above the court this time, people have this opinion, which is a disgrace to the country and a disgrace to the law! ”

This remark was loud and sound, like night rain, which made people stunned, and everyone in the hall, except for Zhang Yilou, who had heard it earlier, all lowered their heads and fell into contemplation.

After a long time, Su Fengji sighed, "Everything in the world is a matter of law, and I only know what I mean by this today." He smiled bitterly twice and said to Su Yuqi: "People say that Brother Su is the businessman of the world, and now I hear Brother Su's statement, and I know that this is true." ”

Zhang Yilou said with a smile: "So Brother Su now knows that the Qin Dynasty's 'taking officials as teachers' is actually not useless. ”

"Yes!"

Su Yuqi heard this, but shook his head and said: "After filial piety, thanks to the law of Shang Jun, none of the kings of the Qin Dynasty have fainted, are they all talented?" In my opinion, it's just a matter of following the rules and doing things according to the rules. The world slandered Qin Fa and said that Qin died due to legal violence, but I think that the crime of Qin Fa is not in Qin Fa. What's wrong with the Qin Law? If Qin's law is really unbearable, how can Qin dominate the world? Han Cheng Qin system, why can it have the appearance of great prosperity? Thinking about it, I realized that it was wrong, and it was also in the first emperor. The first emperor swept Liuhe, personal authority was too heavy, temperament was inflated, and he was proud of his achievements. The "law" of the Shang monarch can last for a long time and will not change from person to person, while the law of "potential" and "technique" gathers the power of the world in the king alone. Thinking about the past of the Qin Dynasty, after Han Fei entered the Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor abandoned the "law" of the Shang monarch, and took the method of "potential" and "technique" that Han Fei inherited from himself, and led to the fall of the Qin Dynasty. ”

Speaking of this, Su Yuqi sighed, "The past cannot be traced, the law of Shangjun is already a yellow flower of tomorrow, and the law that Datang wants is a new law!" ”

Su Fengji and Zhang Yilou were thinking about the old affairs of the Qin Dynasty with Su Yuqi's words, and when they heard his last sentence, they couldn't help asking: "What kind of law is the law that the Tang Dynasty wants?" ”

Su Yuqi said eloquently, "Although I disdain Confucianism as the way to govern the country, but that's all, Confucianism still has a lot of merit, the law of the Tang Dynasty wants to govern the world, and it is necessary to uphold the hearts of the people and the country, how can you abandon the essence of a hundred schools?" Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the doctrines of the hundred schools of thought have not died out, but they have just learned from each other's strengths and integrated with each other, otherwise how could Dong Zhongshu have the theory of 'heaven and man induction' and 'divine authority of the monarch'? It's just that at that time, the hundred schools of thought were integrated with Confucianism as the center, and now, the law is the foundation. For example, Confucianism is benevolent and righteous, and Mohist is both loving, which is good, and the law must be taken, and if the son does not honor his parents, he must punish sin, isn't this Confucianism? When you see patients on the road, whether you know each other or not, they are all sent to the hospital, isn't this the Mo family? ”

Everyone was impressed, including Jiang Wenwei and others, all saluted together: "Su Gong is high!" ”

Su Yuqi hurriedly returned the salute and said with emotion: "How can Su be such a far-sighted layman? This is all His Majesty's idea, and I am just doing what His Majesty tells me to do. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they all knew that such a truth was unexpected, Jiang Wenwei bowed to the main hall: "Your Majesty is really eloquent!" ”

"It's not just eloquent, if this method is successful, it will be an emperor through the ages!"

"Such a lofty position can only be done by my Majesty of the Tang Dynasty!"

Everyone was amazed.

Su Yuqi listened to everyone's praise, was silent for a moment, and suddenly spoke again: "Actually, the princes have not really understood what Your Majesty means. ”

Everyone was puzzled and wondered: "What does Su Gong mean by this?" ”

Su Yuqi did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Dare to ask the princes, who has ever read "Zhenguan Political Leaders"? ”

Not surprisingly, everyone here has read it, Su Fengji said: "The rule of Zhenguan, the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, why did it appear?" The law of governing the country is all in "Zhenguan Political Leaders". On the day the book was written, it was the treasure of the monarch and the minister, and it was highly respected for a hundred years. ”

Su Yuqi nodded, and suddenly said: "Everyone knows "Zhenguan Political Leaders", but the rule of Zhenguan has never reappeared, why is this?" ”

This question made everyone stunned.

Su Yuqi didn't wait too long, and when he saw that everyone didn't speak, he asked again: "Your Majesty today, the great talent is strategic, rare in ancient times, the four seas are peaceful because of it, and the world is unified because of it. The reason why the first emperor is the first emperor of the ages is because it is rare for thousands of years? However, the continuation of the Tang Dynasty, the future Datang will be long-term and stable, and it will be strong and strong, what will it rely on? ”

The crowd was silent, speechless, and all fell into deep thought.

Su Yuqi smiled lightly, "Actually, the answer is already in my heart, but the princes don't want to speak." ”

Zhang Yilou sighed: "It's not that I don't want to speak, but Your Majesty is too wise now, and no one wants to think about what happened after that." ”

Su Yuqi said seriously: "The princes don't want to think about it or say it, but Your Majesty himself has thought of it. Not only did it come to mind, but His Majesty was trying to solve this problem. ”

Zhang Yilou bowed his head and said: "It is true that the rule of man is not as good as the rule of law. The rule of man depends on people, but people are not all virtuous, people have likes and dislikes, as well as seven emotions and six desires, which often affect national politics; The rule of law depends on the law, but the law is unchanging, at least the foundation is not changeable. ”

Su Fengji's eyes flashed with essence, "After filial piety, the Qin Dynasty is strong, after the First Emperor, the Qin Dynasty dies quickly, Your Majesty will chase the latter, but he will follow the former." ”

Su Yuqi nodded with a straight face, "Although "Zhenguan Political Leaders" has been famous for a long time, in fact, it is different from the past, many things are not the same, and "Zhenguan Political Leaders" is a history book after all, although it is a political history book, but the history book can never become a template for governing the country, in other words, "Zhenguan Political Leaders" is not enough to follow. The law of the Tang Dynasty that His Majesty wants is an all-encompassing law that allows latecomers to rely on it to govern the world, and it is a code that is more complete than the law of the Shang monarch! ”

Zhang Yilou said: "With this kind of code, you can protect Tang Hengqiang." ”

Su Fengji asked Su Yujue, "When will this code be drafted?" ”

Su Yuqi replied: "Such a law is not a one-time effort, but right now, it is being formulated. ”

Su Fengji asked again: "Your Majesty has given a name?" ”

Su Yuqi smiled proudly, "Of course it's "Tang Law"! ”

Different from "Zhenguan Political Dignitaries", the "Tang Law", which is still in gestation, will not include the words and deeds of Li Congjing and the ministers, but there is no doubt that at present, every word and deed of Li Congjing and the ministers, every national policy of the empire, and everything that is happening in the empire may become the basis and material for the provisions of the "Tang Law".

This code, which took a long time to come out of Taiwan and is still being continuously improved after it came out, has become a great gift from Li Congjing to history. Of course, that's an afterthought. Li Congjing's dream of Tang Hengqiang can't be accomplished with just one code, but he is not just doing such a thing.

......

When Su Yuqi, Su Fengji, and Zhang Yilou stepped into the main hall, the Tang Emperor sitting at the back of the imperial case was still wearing the black and gold dragon robe, no one stood next to the young emperor as usual, and there was no one else in the wide hall, the rainstorm was inclined like a waterfall outside the palace gate, and the sound of the dripping rain was crisp and loud, and the three of them entered the palace gate, and it seemed that they had been isolated from the world, and the sound of wind and rain was scattered outside the clouds, and only the majestic voice of the emperor could be heard in the ears.

As Su Yuji said before, Li Congjing's purpose in summoning him was to change the regulations of "not being guilty for words", of course, things are not so simple, Su Fengji's previous estimate was not wrong, the messenger he met on Dingdingmen Street was indeed from the north, Li Congjing summoned Su Yujing at this time, to ask him to add a part of the "wartime regulations" to the "Tang Law", so as to make it clear to the subjects of the world, when the foreign thieves and the border country are at war, what kind of words and deeds they should have.

Li Congjing used this way to tell the government and the opposition that not only he would fight the big war in front of him, but also that whenever the Tang Dynasty encountered provocations and violations in the future, he would not hesitate to start a war, and he showed with the words and deeds of the emperor that he would unreservedly practice the oath of "those who offend my China, although they are far away, will be punished".

"The armies of the Khitan and Tatars have been assembled, the momentum is huge, the southern invasion is imminent, I am not worried about these two making waves, Lu Long's Yikun Prefecture defense line, Datong's Yunzhou defense line, are very strong, even if the imperial court does not issue a forbidden army, they want to break through the pass, it is not so simple. Over the years, the Khitan has been weakened by its killing force, and hundreds of thousands of them have been slaughtered before and after, but it is not an itch. If he dares to fight hard, I will write an edict, not to mention that the Bohai Kingdom is waiting day and night to recover the lost territory, and Yelu Min alone is enough for him to catch fire in his backyard. ”

"This time the forbidden army goes out, the center of gravity is still in Hexi, when the rain is clear, the army will be ready to pull, judge the internal affairs of the branch, from now on we must immediately start to do it, now the summer will pass, autumn is coming, I have no intention of hiding with anyone."

"Today, the reason why the three of you were called in together is because of the "Tang Law" in Su Qing's hand. The three of you are not shallow in learning, and "Tang Law" is very important, Su Qing alone is not enough, you need the three of you to work together, Jiang Wenwei, Zhang Yi, Zhu Yuan, etc., are also rising stars in my eyes, and I will run errands for you this time. In addition, this matter is nominally led by Feng Xiang, and Wang Pu is the leader inside, so you don't want to live up to my expectations. ”

Although Li Congjing's tone of voice was smooth and did not deliberately suppress the frustration, as long as the words came out of his mouth, there was no doubt about the majesty of the words.

Su Yuqi, Su Fengji, Zhang Yilou and others, bowed down to listen to Li Congjing's words, and bowed to the emperor's case together, "The ministers must obey the edict!" ”

"Stand down."

"The ministers are leaving."

The three of them retreated to the palace gate facing the imperial case, and then turned around and went out, Li Congjing stood up from behind the imperial case, came to the palace gate with his hands, and stood quietly in the face of the torrential rain outside the palace.

From Luoyang to Shuofang's official road, post station has already been repaired, after the forbidden army from Luoyang, the itinerary and camping along the way are also generally arranged, the young and strong people recruited by the imperial court, the grain and grass equipment mobilized, have been dispatched before this, and now, the time for the forbidden army to go out to Hexi has come.

In this case, the expedition is a fighter plane, and the expedition of 100,000 troops is impossible to go to the battlefield and go to the battlefield to hold on to others. Under the right circumstances, the victory and defeat were determined in one fell swoop with the momentum of thunder, and the thousands of armies swept away, this is what Li Congjing should have.

At this time, Li Congjing, who was standing at the door of Chongwen Palace, had another picture in his mind.

The Tang people in fine armor held the "Tang Law", Yang Wei was in the four seas, preaching in the world.
