Chapter 491: Shooting Chrysanthemums

readx;?Autumn is cool, can you take a bath? No one said no, just soak if you want. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Tian Lai Novel.2 On the ninth day of the first month, the ability to ascend to the sky, but in the city of Hengzhou, a newly opened bathhouse, but it is a half-price big reward, two people go together, one person is free, and a pot of ice wine is given, which attracts a lot of guests.

'It's comfortable... In the big bathhouse, Li Shuo was so comfortable that he opened his hands and feet, although it was only September, but the north was cold fast, and it was very suitable to take a bath now, "This winter, there is a good place to go, on a snowy day, soak in this hot bath, it is really a fairy and not change." ''Isn't it?'' Li Shuo responded, and then the two of them were so comfortable that they didn't want to move.

'Doctor, Doctor, give me a scrape. Li Shuo felt itchy all over his body, and summoned the doctor who was in charge of scraping his back, lying on the hot ground and letting the doctor do something on his back, while chatting with his companions, "You say, this makes a handsome and decent person, how can you say that you are sick?" ’

How do I know that there are so many medical workers, don't they all see it badly? The other person replied lazily, "I'm worried, if this is not good, then how can we live this day, the young marshal is..." ''Isn't it?'' I thought he had changed sex, look at me, I was almost opened by him a few days ago. ’

'Hmph, but that's not all, you know, he actually dared to lock up his aunt, and that day it was a big mess in the house. ''Young marshal, he's so bold, this aunt is... said that she was a handsome sister, but she was almost treated as a daughter, if she recovered, he wouldn't suffer? Hearing the surprise of his companions, Li Shuo said, "Then we must also make Shuai recover..." Hearing this, his companion's head shrank, and he was immersed in the water, and he stopped talking...

'Not only that, I see our young marshal... Did you know? He lowered his voice and said, "I saw a eunuch in the house, a father-in-law...," "Shut up, you dare to say anything.'" The companion had no choice but to stop him, this man is usually fine, but when he comes to private, he dares to say anything, sooner or later, he will get into trouble, he stopped him, and at the same time thought, he must stay away from this guy in the future, so as not to be dragged down by this person.

However, that was later, and at the moment, he immediately decided to change the topic, and talked about other idle things, and finally diverted the topic. didn't notice that every word of their conversation was heard by Dr. Scratched. It's just that, even if you pay attention, you won't care, no one will take these doctors seriously, they are like the background of the activity...

When you take office, you should appease and love the people, and you should not exploit or harass them. Shall a great husband be greedy for money, so as to harm his life, and make every one of his children and grandchildren ashamed? When the benefit of the people, the name between heaven and earth for thousands of years immortal, forever as a virtuous title. It must be known that the people are fat and the people are anointed, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive. ’

'The lower officials respect the teachings of the saints. In the Zichen Palace, an official dressed as a thorn in history, after Li Chen's admonition, he would retreat respectfully.

I guess it's the last one. It's really exhausting. Li Chen leaned on the dragon chair and complained in a low voice, "This kind of thing, someone should check it, it shouldn't be me, the emperor, who did it himself, it's really..." ’

Just left that, it was a new assassin, and it was a new state that had just been regained to take office. For this reason, Li Chen specially summoned him and encouraged him personally. will do this, it's not that he has anything special, it's just that he simply pays attention to the governance of local officials, and every official above his assassination history will personally meet with him.

On the one hand, it is to personally hear the order, and on the other hand, it is to observe this person and check some relevant official information collected in the past with himself. This job is very troublesome, but he has to do it, a state assassin history, a hundred miles under the jurisdiction of the territory, tens of thousands of people, their every move, are involved in many people, especially these newly recovered Texas, it is even more important, he does not want the new officials to exploit the local people, so that those people are disappointed in the court, the Tang Dynasty, and deviate from morality. So he had to pay attention to these new officials as much as possible.

It's no wonder that he complains, logically speaking, this kind of official affairs should be put in charge of the imperial envoy or the ministry, not that he should do everything on his behalf, but he has little confidence in the rule of officials in the Tang Dynasty. Before he really clarified the rule of officials, he could only work harder.

Just like the incident before, that tragedy is just the tip of the iceberg, similar things may be staged in many places in Datang, that tragedy is not unprecedented enough, but it is by no means the last, if you don't clarify the rule of officials one day, this kind of thing will happen one day.

It's just that he originally wanted to set off an anti-corruption campaign. took the opportunity to rectify the atmosphere of Datang officialdom, but the timing was not right, if he rectified it now, there would be a lot of movement.

It's just that in the end, there is no end to it, he sent the servant Yushi to inspect the place, review the case, and give justice to the people. The county order was directly promoted. Haoqiang was also heavily responsible, and the state-level was responsible for trying the case, and he was also reprimanded. That's it for now.

Why? Quite simply, because of internal instability, a war could break out at any time. Since Zhang Zhongwu's death, Zhang Zhifang has been very unstable since he became self-reliant, and there was news that Youzhou began to hoard grain, grass, weapons, etc....

Li Chen didn't know if this was Zhang Zhifang's simple self-protection or to make trouble. Not only prepared grain, grass and weapons, but also began to gather soldiers and horses, which made Li Chen vigilant, at the beginning, he judged that this guy could not serve for a long time, so he left it alone for the time being, so now if he really wants to rebel, Li Chen will never tolerate it.

If he doesn't tolerate it, it means that he is going to fight, and if he wants to fight, he is not sure that he can fight a war while rectifying the rule of officials. Therefore, he can only do this action, which is very heavy in the eyes of the courtiers, and in his opinion, it is necessary to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

Then, facts have proved that his choice was right, not only in Youzhou, but also in Youzhou, there was news that the commander of the Chengde Army, Wang Yuankui, was suddenly seriously ill and could not be a director. At present, it is all controlled by his eldest son, Wang Shaoding, and the internal instability of the Cheng German army may be chaotic one day.

Speaking of which, Wang Shaoding and Li Chen are also related to each other. Wang Yuankui is also a horse of the Tang Dynasty. His father, Wang Tingcuo, had a very poor relationship with the court when he was in power.

Wang Tingcuo, a Uighur, was able to ascend the throne because he killed Tian Hongzheng, the former envoy of the German army, usurped the throne himself, and obtained the post of envoy of the German army. The imperial court originally had a crusade, but even the crusading army was in chaos. In the end, the crusade was over.

According to records, this person is vicious and chaotic, unkind, fierce, and wanton and chaotic. Tian Hongzheng was full of more than 300 mouths, and he was all killed. In terms of personality, Shen Ou speaks little and likes to read "Guiguzi". He picked a good time, taking advantage of the winter, the Zhulu crusading army was unable to advance, delayed the time, and dragged it until the first month of the following year, and the imperial court led an army of 30,000 to the Wei Bojie envoy with Tian Hongzheng's son, Tian Dunli.

As a result, the imperial court overestimated the Tian family's control over Wei Bode, and Wei Bo's army was in turmoil, which led to the achievements of Yuan and Zhongxing being wasted overnight.

Wang Ting's behavior is naturally difficult to reconcile with Tang Ting. After his second son Wang Yuankui succeeded him, he was the opposite of his father, and he was quite respectful to the court, and won the honor of Princess Shang. In the second year of Wenzong's opening (837), Yuan Kui entered the court to serve and issued an edict to marry Princess Shou'an, the daughter of Li Wu, the king of Jiang.

At that time, Li Shangyin was still very unhappy and wrote a satirical poem. However, no matter what, the Chengde army was quite stable, and Huichang also participated in the Battle of Zelu in the fourth year and made military achievements. However, with his serious illness at present, the Cheng German army is also out of control.

Li Chen could only wait and see what the two feudal towns planned to do. Like Youzhou, the new envoy of the Chengde Army was not very popular. Li Chen watched coldly. The most important thing at the moment is to train the new army. It is now approaching autumn, and it is not the time to move troops.

Also, there seem to be signs of abnormal movement among the alien races outside the Cypriots. Although the news is not yet clear, it is said that the alien race outside the Cypriots is ready to move. This made Li Chen very vigilant, he seemed to smell a conspiracy, he still didn't know who was colluding, those Hu people did not have a high degree of secrecy, but at present, Datang's arrangement of secret spies on the grassland was not complete enough, and he couldn't find out any useful news.

For the time being, press the idea of rectifying the rule of officials, there is still a chance, Li Chen thought so. Since this kind of thing is not unprecedented, it will definitely happen in the future, as long as the feudal town is pacified at that time, it will be time for those corrupt officials to fall into the frieze.

At that time, he had made a plan, and he would first publicize it in the newspapers, and publicize the tragic events to everyone, so that the people would be dissatisfied, and the pressure of officials would be aroused, and then the reform would be carried out naturally. In one fell swoop, those corrupt officials and corrupt officials were eliminated.

It's just that it is not allowed now, and it can only be endured for the time being. Besides, this is not in vain patience, he has already let people start collecting all kinds of illegal evidence, and when the time comes, they will understand that it is not that they will not report it, but that the time has not yet come.

'Set up a bureau and set up a bureau. Shoot chrysanthemum and shoot chrysanthemum. Li Chen stood up and stretched his waist, today is Chongyang, there are activities in the palace, he is really working hard, at this time, he has to summon those assassins, and then there will be activities in the afternoon.

Ascending in the morning, he didn't go out, and Long Yuan was tall enough. He was busy receiving the assassins who were going to Ren De, and there was an archery competition in the afternoon. He's going to be there.

In fact, the game started in the morning, and his eldest son, Li Yin, attended the opening ceremony on his behalf. Li and a group of ministers played the first game first, and after shooting a few arrows, the opening ceremony ended. This was followed by the Datang Archery Competition, the rematch, and the beginning. In the afternoon, it will be the final of the national competition, and he will attend.

This competition, which started a few days ago, was preliminary, divided into the public and sergeant groups. The general public is more than 10 states in Chang'an to participate, and the top few are decided in each place, and then the government will send them to Chang'an to participate in the semi-finals.

And each section of the envoys, each district will send ten good shooters. First go to Chang'an for the preliminary round, and then participate in today's semi-finals. Originally, I wanted to promote it to the whole Tang Dynasty, not only Chang'an, but also a little bit of Chang'an.

However, this decision was made in a hurry, so I can only participate in the current surroundings. As for why it was in a hurry, it was because Li Chen had only heard about it not long ago.

In fact, this activity has been almost stopped for a hundred years. Since the beginning of the century, it has not been done in the name of waste and extravagance. Not only because of the Anshi Rebellion, although after Anshi, the imperial court had no money, but during the Tianbao period, the imperial court was still rich, so it was suspended.

As for the reason, it's simple. At this time, the Tang Dynasty had already shown signs of emphasizing literature over martial arts, and it was no longer like the early Tang Dynasty, even if it was a Wenchen, he had the ability to ride a horse and lead a bow. More and more courtiers are not good at this kind of rude sports.

Two ministers were still laughing at fifty paces and a hundred paces, and one courtier laughed at the other minister surnamed Lude, saying that Lu's arrow was still thirty steps away from his arrow, and the one who made a mockery was not hit himself, and his arrow was still thirty steps away from the target.

Li Chen heard Yang Er say that Datang once had such a salute, and he decided to revive it immediately. So he ordered the event to be held in mid-August. At the moment, the etiquette department is busy. Because it has not been done for too long, the Ministry of Rites finally found the process from the dusty archives.

In the afternoon, at the Datang National Stadium, Li Chen entered the stadium in Yale. Dressed in bright yellow clothes, wearing a red dabu, carrying a warrior and holding a carved bow, he entered the arena amid the salute of officials, sergeants and the common people.

As soon as he entered the stadium, he immediately led to a tsunami, and everyone was excited, especially those people, the stadium was sold to the outside world, and it was even more difficult to find a ticket knowing that Li Chen was going to attend. Originally, the seats were limited, and Li Chen also sent a lot of charity tickets, some village elders, virtuous people, and royal nursing homes, some students who were outstanding in the city, or who had good conduct.

With the addition of hundreds of officials and some eliminated sergeants, the stadium, which can accommodate thousands of people, has only more than 1,000 seats left, which has led to a rush to buy even more. In order to avoid scalping tickets, these tickets are sold by auction.

Don't underestimate the wisdom of the Tang people, after the stadium, soon there will be idlers who will line up when they have nothing to do, buy the kind of popular team to get tickets and sell them.

More than 1,000 tickets were sold, with an average of more than 20,000 tickets per ticket. Of course, the front one will be a little more expensive, and the back one will be cheaper. Li Chen's move made several prime ministers kneel.

In fact, not only Li Chen, but also the eldest son of the emperor attended the scene in the morning, and he also sold thousands of yuan. Basically, the ticket revenue from these two games alone is worth the cost of this event, including the prize money, and the cost of those players entering Beijing. Not to mention the industries that were born later, such as gambling, which can make a lot of money.

In Yale, after Li Chen entered the venue, a group of prime ministers also followed Yuguan into the arena, and everyone looked a little nervous, not because there were many people, the quality of these prime ministers was not so bad, mainly because they also had to shoot arrows.

Not everyone is good at shooting, and in order not to be embarrassed, when Li Chen ordered the prime minister to also participate, everyone stepped up their hard training, which was really embarrassing for them, everyone was old, and they still had to cover the vine like this. The so-called companion is like a tiger, and the ancients did not deceive me. (To be continued.) )
