Chapter 5: Preparing to Go

"And when are you coming back?" Li Tai asked.

Changsun Tang did not answer, in this era, few people can control their own destiny, maybe they will never come back after saying this.

"It may take a long time!" The eldest grandson muttered uncertainly.

The eldest grandson has been waiting, and the matter of the secretary province has long been handed over.

Before leaving, we invited everyone to Wangjiang Tower for dinner again, and this time even Wei Zheng and Yu Shinan were present.

Wei Zheng was full of praise for the dishes on the table, and Yu Shinan's mouth that was about to lose his teeth attacked the tender tofu again and again.

I thought that the two bigwigs would come out of the secretary and supervision committee for this fee, but when these two went out, they didn't even say a word, which made Changsun Tang grit his teeth a little.

"Tomorrow you go and carve a sign that reads, 'The secretary and supervisor Lord Wei and the secretary and young eunuch Yu both think it is a good restaurant'." The eldest grandson ordered the men to arrive.

"That's not big, right, those people don't walk around when they see this sign." The shopkeeper said weakly.

"It's been so long, have you seen a few high-ranking officials come to our restaurant?" The eldest grandson asked rhetorically.

"Oh, I see." The shopkeeper had some urge to slap himself in the face.

After waiting for a long time, waiting has become a habit.

When all the snow in Chang'an City melted, the earth was covered with a green carpet, and the willow leaves were dense enough to block the light, Changsun Tang finally waited for the long-awaited holy decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said......" This set of systems started by Qin Shi Huang has been very perfect in the Tang Dynasty, what kind of will with what kind of opening statement.

The general meaning of the holy decree is that due to the meritorious work of the eldest grandson in compiling the book, the title was deliberately promoted from the founding county prince to the founding county uncle, and the post of Tuntian Langzhong of the Ministry of Labor, responsible for the affairs of Tuntian in the northwest.

A decent decree, but it is full of weirdness.

This can be said to be an appointment document, the appointed official position is the head of a department under a certain department of the central court of the imperial court, the problem is that it is said that it is a Beijing official, but the office location is not mentioned, and the original position of Tuntian Langzhong has not been handed over, that is to say, there are two Tuntian Langzhong.

It is this ambiguity of duty that the eldest grandson needs.

Ambiguity means opportunity.

In the eyes of many people, although the title of the eldest grandson was promoted, this is obviously a matter of rising and falling, although the secretary has no rights, but the rights of the Ministry of Industry are even smaller.

As the last department in the six departments, the status of the Ministry of Industry is really a little unacceptable, and there are some craftsmen gathered in it, which is very interesting.

Besides, this is not the first time that Changsun Tang's Beijing official has been dispatched, but such a low probability of being met by Changsun Tang is also very revealing.

Before the eldest grandson offended the prince, it was only a secret of the high-level circle, but with the promulgation of this will, it spread all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an City in a short time.

Speaking of the Ministry of Industry, I have to say that one of the four jokes of Chang'an City is "the official of the Ministry of Industry". If it weren't for the fact that the eldest grandson had risen too fast, this joke about Duan Lun would still be talked about.

This section of Lun can be regarded as a strange officialdom, as the Sui Dynasty's personal guard saw the wind and made the rudder descend to the Tang Dynasty very early, and was appointed as the supreme governor of the southwest region, that is, the governor of Yizhou, because he offended people and was impeached for rebellion, and was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry after being transferred back to the capital.

You say that no one in this official has impeached you, which means that either you are a mediocre and inactive corpse vegetarian, or you are a scheming Wang Mang and his ilk, impeachment will be impeached. But after this Lun was impeached, his temperament changed greatly, even after he became the secretary of the Ministry of Works, he was not much of a director, and almost everything was handed over to the waiter.

The other ministries are in charge because Shangshu is in charge of the government, but this Ministry of Industry is a small man.

In such a department that doesn't care about anything, there is an unreliable leader, who is still an unpopular person, and has been appointed an official who looks like he has been assigned.

In the eyes of others, this eldest grandson can be regarded as retribution.

But the eldest grandson Tang happily went to perform his duties, as usual, he couldn't see Duan Lun himself, and he actually ate a closed door when he visited his house, which made the eldest grandson very depressed.

However, the number of gifts that should be there is still no less, and I left the prayer note and the prepared gifts.

According to the rules, this eldest grandson has a month's vacation, and this month is the time for airspace pay, but the eldest grandson can't stay anymore, because of the approach of an event, he has to leave early.

In Chang'an City, there was a lot of news about His Majesty the Emperor wanting to seal Mount Tai.

This is a record of a meeting about the canonization of Zen.

Time: After the meeting.

Participants: His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Secretary and Supervisor Wei Zheng.

"Does Xuan Cheng have something important?" Li Shimin knew that this Wei Zheng was going to admonish the matter of sealing Mount Tai.

"Your Majesty, don't seal Zen at this time." Wei Zheng said it directly.

"Why? This matter agreed upon by the hundred officials at the court, do you want to stop it independently? ”

"The ministers are just pandering to the will." This is a scoundrel.

"Then give me a reason." Li Er was a little angry.

Wei Zheng did not answer.

"Isn't my credit high enough?" This is a prelude to anger.

"Your Majesty is leveling the Quartet, and the credit for the world is enough." This is also starting to be a sycophant.

"Isn't virtue thick?"

"It's thick!"

"Is Datang unstable?"

"Settle down!"

"Haven't the Sifang Yi tribes been submitted?"

"Submitted".

"Isn't there a good harvest in the year?"

"It's a good harvest!"

"Didn't Fu Rui arrive?"

"It's here!"

"Then why can't you do the canonization ceremony?"

"Although Your Majesty has the above six reasons, but after the Sui Dynasty Rebellion, the household registration has not been restored, the granary of the state treasury is still very empty, and His Majesty's chariot drove east to Mount Tai, a large number of cavalry chariots, and its fatigue and consumption must be difficult to bear. And His Majesty enshrined Mount Tai, then the monarchs of various countries Xianji, the leaders of the Yi tribe in the distance followed, now from Yishui, Luoshui East to the sea, Mount Tai, sparsely populated, full of grass and trees, this is to lead Rong Di into the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and show our weakness. Moreover, the innumerable supply of rewards cannot satisfy the desires of these distant people; A few years of exemption from forced labor will not compensate the common people for their hard work. How can Your Majesty adopt such a policy that advocates false names but is actually harmful to the people? ”

"We'll talk about it now." Li Er rubbed his somewhat swollen head and found that it was a little futile. waved his hand to let Wei Zheng go down.

"Please take care of your majesty's body, and Weichen will retire." Wei Zheng was a little confused about what the emperor meant, but he had no choice but to do so.
