Chapter 10: The Four Commands
In the ninth year of Wude, the seventh day of the eighth month.
Xu Ziling and the three of them entered Chang'an City in a carriage, and after Yang Ma learned that Xu Ziling was married, he couldn't suppress his excitement, took out a jade bracelet from his arms, and said to Xu Ziling: "Ziling, you have been living a hard life since you were a child, and now you have finally come out, the old woman has nothing to give you, this is a pair of jade bracelets handed down from the ancestors, leave one to you, and one to Huaiyi." ”
"At that time, you give this to your lady, I hope she won't dislike it!" Yang Ma took out a crystal clear jade bracelet from the tightly wrapped cloth.
"This ...... Cannot! Xu Ziling hurriedly shirked it.
"Hehe, Ziling came back this time and had a lot of shares with the old woman, she used to be always a Yang Niang Yang Niang, calling very kindly, but now it's ......" Yang Ma sighed, "The old woman knows that this thing is not good, you can't look down on ......"
Xu Ziling heard Yang Ma's misunderstanding, and hurriedly said: "Yang Niang, I didn't mean that, this is your heirloom, it should all be given to the sticky pig!" ”
"No, I don't!" Sticky Pig said.
"You two have followed me since you were a child, where would the old woman treat you as an outsider?" Yang Ma said, "Since you two brothers have been fighting for everything since they were young, why are you so polite now?" ”
Xu Ziling knew that he couldn't be stubborn with the old man, this was someone's intention, so he no longer shirked, "Hehe, thank you Yang Niang." ”
While speaking, the three of them had already come to the gate of the Xu Mansion, Yang Ma got out of the carriage, and after seeing the Xu Mansion, his face was full of smiles: "Hehe, Ziling is too capable, what a generous house!" ”
"Aweng, you're back." Tao'er and Zhang Lianu had already learned that Xu Ziling and the others had returned home, so they hurriedly came up to support Yang Ma's and said sweetly.
"This ...... These two are my goddaughter-in-law? Yang Ma asked suspiciously.
"It's all of it." Xu Ziling only said that he had a daughter-in-law, and forgot to tell Yang Ma how many there were!
"Ah Lang, lunch is ready!" Zhou Ping'er was still in Xu's Mansion now, and she greeted the group with a smile.
"This?" Yang Ma looked at Zhou Ping'er, who was plump, isn't this the same?
"Oh, it's not." Xu Ziling didn't know how to introduce Zhou Ping'er's identity, saying that he was the maid of the Xu Mansion, which was obviously inappropriate.
"It's a friend of mine, who is in business at home, and has been in Xu's Mansion for a while at night." Tao'er saw that Xu Ziling was not easy to speak, so she hurriedly played a round game.
"Oh." Yang Ma glanced at Zhou Ping'er, and then at the sticky pig, thoughtfully.
After eating lunch, Yang Ma's praised the cooking skills of the chef of Xu's mansion, such a delicious dish, Yang Ma's had never eaten it, and after knowing from Zhou Ping'er's mouth that this dish was created by Xu Ziling, he praised Xu Ziling again, in short, his face was always filled with a happy smile.
The next day, Xu Ziling came to the palace with Sticky Pig early in the morning, although Li Shimin is now the crown prince, he was still busy all day, Xu Ziling came to Li Shimin, who was dealing with government affairs.
"Your Highness, I wonder if you have ever seen the official document of the Gyeongju Thorn History?" Xu Ziling brought a cup of tea to Li Shimin, who was reviewing government affairs.
"Gyeongju Thorn History? What's up? Li Shimin stopped the pen in his hand, picked up the water, took a sip and asked.
Xu Ziling knew that Qiao Qingzhou must understand his hints, so why didn't he send the official document of resignation, there may be only one reason, the forces behind Qiao Qingzhou are strong enough to protect Qiao Qingzhou!
Xu Ziling told Li Shimin what he saw and heard in Gyeongju and what he thought.
Gyeongju is an important border town, and when Li Shimin heard that the people of Gyeongju were in dire straits and that the troops were very weak, his hand holding the water cup suddenly clenched, and his face was very ugly.
Just when Li Shimin was about to get angry, a eunuch came to the East Palace and announced something that made Li Shimin very excited.
"For the matter of Gyeongju, you send a few people over first to stabilize the situation, and you can act cheaply when necessary. After Lone ascends the throne tomorrow, he will clean it up, no matter what forces are behind him! ”
This incident touched Li Shimin's bottom line, people's livelihood and military strength!
On the ninth day of the eighth month of the ninth year of Wude, a great era in Chinese history, will slowly kick off on this day.
Li Shimin wore a crown on his head, wore a dragon suit, and was surrounded by thousands of cow guards, and slowly came to the Hall of Xiande.
Li Shimin granted amnesty to the world and exempted Guannai and the six prefectures of Pu, Fu, Yu, Tai, Shaanxi, and Ding from taxes for two years! The rest of the states for a year!
At the same time, four decrees were issued, the first was to exempt the Reformation. Second, make contributions and be diligent and thrifty. Third, hundreds of officials are sparse, favorable views, and rewards. Fourth, release the maids of the palace.
These four orders were decided by Li Shimin after repeated deliberation for a long time.
Xu Ziling carefully chewed on the four orders issued by Li Shimin, which were undoubtedly buying people's hearts, and Li Shimin's victory was not right, so he desperately hoped for the support of various political groups.
However, Xu Ziling has to admire, these four orders are so beautiful, they are simply a charcoal in the snow, this is Li Shimin's wisdom, Li Shimin accurately grasped a very important contradiction, this contradiction is something that some emperors have not seen through in their lives, people's hearts!
Exempt from the Reformation and guide public opinion, religion may be the fastest and fastest way to spread the great virtues of an emperor!
Open the style of diligence and thrift, this order is the court to take the lead, to create an atmosphere that is beneficial to the people!
This is undoubtedly a powerful factor for Li Shimin to be able to implement correct political views, and it is inevitable that a person will make mistakes, so Li Shimin allowed hundreds of officials to correct mistakes, which reflects Li Shimin's broad-mindedness!
The fourth order, it doesn't seem to be as loud as the first three, but this order is also Li Shimin's most clever place, in ancient times, the fate of the palace maid was very pitiful, once she entered the palace, she was lonely for a hundred years, there was no marriage in their world, no men, and only boundless loneliness! Li Shimin's order sees people's hearts clearly, if the palace maids are released from the palace, this is undoubtedly a very huge beneficial move for Li Shimin's reputation, even if it is not successful, these palace maids will thank Li Shimin in their hearts!
The purpose of these four orders, whether it is "religious reform", "dismissal of contributions", "dismissal of hundreds of officials" or "release of palace maids", is very clear, that is, to give a signal to hundreds of officials and the people, Li Shimin is drawing a clear line with the old martial arts, and establishing a good image of "being honest and honest, people-oriented, and opening up the way of speech"!
