Section 44 Southern Tour
The next day was the Great Dynasty Meeting, and before he entered the palace gate, Changsun Chong stopped Yun Ye and whispered: "You stabbed the hornet's nest, and now everyone is denouncing your cruelty and unkindness, you didn't kill you when you went back last night, right?" ”
"What's the next killer? My wife likes to see those singers being hung up, can't she buy them home and hang them up? Who has so many things to do. Yun Ye asked Changsun Chong with a smile.
"It's good that you don't have a killer, as long as you live, you can bear with it in the court today." Eldest Sun Chong let out a long breath and then began to comfort Yun Ye again.
"Pull it down, it's your dad who has made my reputation stink, and now you still want me to put up with it, can I put up with it?"
Seeing Yun Ye muttering and walking towards the Wanmin Palace, Changsun Chong was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Yun Ye entered the Wanmin Palace and stood in the court class with a gloomy face, ignoring no one, and the people around him were also far away from him, everyone knew that this person had a bad temper recently, and he just hung a few singers at home to dry overnight last night, but he didn't know if he was still alive now.
Shangguan Yi walked up to Yun Ye angrily and didn't have time to open his mouth, when he heard Yun Ye say coldly: "This is the position of a third-grade official, what are you doing here, a fifth-grade official, rude, don't retreat!" ”
Shangguan Yi was choked speechless by one sentence, and was about to argue, when he saw that the eunuch Gong'e had come out, and as soon as the wing screen came out, the emperor had already turned out from behind Pingshan and sat down, and Shangguan Yi had to retreat to his own place.
The eunuch didn't speak, but Li Er spoke first: "It's hard to prevent thieves day and night, there are accidents in Linhuai, Sizhou, and Xuyi. Now that it's okay, the common people have been forced to go up the mountain to be robbers, and go down to the lake to become lake bandits, and treat my official family as a villain. In times of peace and prosperity, there is always rebellion, which makes me embarrassed as an emperor.
Last month, the retired veterans gathered to rebel, and Zhang Jian brought three heads to me, saying that he had quelled the disaster, but he also asked me to give him an explanation, why the money and food due to the veterans under his command were not in place, and why the wife was raped when the veterans went out to fight?
Yes, I also found it difficult to answer, and the money and food for the reward were distributed by the Ministry of Households. Why is there no trace of what I have instructed? Then I sent someone to see what was going on, and it turned out to be a result yesterday, haha, my magistrate is really alive and well, singing every night, singing poems and rewarding him very freely.
If there is no money and food, it will be deducted from the veteran's money and food, and the singer has no charm. I went to find a woman from a good family, and I, the emperor, would not dare to do this. They have already done this, the Criminal Department, should Dali Temple also give me an explanation? ”
The emperor named a name, and the bigwigs of a department went out to worship on the ground, and they all knew the emperor's temper, and the more peaceful he said. The more angry the heart became.
"Today is the Great Dynasty Meeting, the day when our monarchs and ministers meet, I didn't want to say these unpleasant words, but now it seems that it is impossible not to say it, you always said that the generals were arrogant in the past. Only civil officials are good, and now it seems that there are shameless people among you, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Dali Temple should also look at the civil officials, right? Don't always keep your eyes on the generals, if they make a mistake, I will deal with it.
Today, I said a little more, and I picked the matter apart and said that the laws of the Tang Dynasty are not only useful for military generals, but also for civil officials, and it is time to govern and leave the rule of officials. ”
The court set off a storm because of Li Er's words, Li Er was Li Er, and he was seeking immortality, so he immediately calmly turned his gaze to reality and returned to his position as emperor.
Big things can cover up small things, for example, what happened in Yun Ye's house is a small thing, Shangguan Yi's official department has completely become the center of the storm this time, and a big cleanup is inevitable, under such a general trend, Shangguan Yi can only obediently shut up, and try to forget about those singers with tragic fate.
After returning to the military department, there was naturally a lot of jubilation here, and the merit examination department immediately took out all the merits that could be tested or not tested in recent years, and asked the chief officer to approve them.
Therefore, Yun Ye was busy in the lobby of the military department for a whole day, as long as it was not too outrageous, it was enough to use the seal and signature, and the highest official positions were only minor officials such as city captains, and the position was nothing more than eight grades.
The army has just returned from the expedition, and there is a need to place meritorious soldiers everywhere, and those who can be promoted cannot be said to be meritorious officers, and there are still eighty or ninety percent, and the army not only pays attention to military merits, but also pays attention to face.
The entire military department was busy, and this busyness didn't feel like it was getting dark, Yun Zheng planned to finish everything today, so he didn't allow the people from the military department to leave the yamen, had a little dinner in the yamen, and then started to work.
Li Er sat in the deep palace forbiddenness for a long time, then got up and walked around, he actually didn't like to stay in the glorious hall, standing in front of the Wanmin Palace and looking down on the entire Chang'an, at this time the Chang'an curfew time has not arrived, Xinghuafang, Pingkangfang that area is brightly lit, tourists are weaving, he seems to be able to hear the sound of silk and bamboo, and the aroma of fat powder.
Look at your feet again, the six yamen are pitch black, it is not accurate to say this, at least the yamen of the military department is still full of lights, and there are constantly officials holding documents hurriedly going back and forth to each room.
Li Er really wanted to see what Yun Ye was doing, so he quietly walked out of the palace gate accompanied by Duan Hong, no need to go out of the imperial city, only need to walk a pillar of incense to the yamen of the military department.
Walking on the bluestone paved road, Li Er's mood seemed to have become better, and the guards behind him followed more and more, and in the end, the number of guards exceeded 100.
Raising his hand to stop those guards, Li Er and Duan Hong quietly entered the yamen of the military department, and the guards were all ordered to shut up, and after a while, the emperor had already turned the military department in a big circle.
The officials were busy, and Li Er was as comfortable as an old farmer seeing his old cattle plowing, and when he finally came to the lobby of the military headquarters, he heard Yun Ye's voice coming from inside.
"Hexi is a strategic place, the first thing the generals here need is bravery, what they want to guard against is the Tubo people, and they also need to suppress the Qiang people anytime and anywhere, so the courage still needs to be put in the first place, select talents from these soldiers, the first thing to do is to look at the military merits, under the same conditions, the military merits are the first, the same military merits, the brave are the first, and they will be selected according to this strategy.
The local government soldiers, appropriately increase the standing army strength, even when the farming is busy, to ensure that half of the troops are in the barracks, is nothing more than to lose more money and food, to ensure that there are no mistakes in the local area is the first priority, and this matter should also be issued as a regulation. ”
Li Er nodded again and again when he heard this, he agreed with Yun Ye's way of handling things, and was about to leave, but the door of the lobby opened, and the scribe went out with the paperwork.
Li Er smiled, patted the scribe's shoulder, and didn't wait for the book to wake up from the huge dizziness, he raised his legs and entered the lobby.
"You're beaten less, aren't you?"
Yun Ye heard Li Er's voice and immediately put his feet down and got up and saluted: "Your Majesty, why are you here when the night is cold and dewy?" ”
"I'm older, and I don't feel groggy all day long, so I go out for a walk, alas, you are also a dignified military secretary, so you can't have some rules? It's not good to be like this all day long. ”
Li Er raised his hand and wanted to punch = slap him, but when he saw Yun Ye greeting him, he couldn't pull it off no matter what, and his tone became softened.
"I don't know if your old man killed the demon monk, didn't he say that he could bring the dead back to life?"
"Hehe, he was killed with a knife, and he dissected his body and found that it was no different from an ordinary person, and searched his luggage, and found a lot of colored pills from it, and found that they were all poisonous things after being tested by livestock. This time I am humiliating myself, the royal rules have been ruined by me, and Cheng Qian has taken risks for this, and the hearts of the people can't try it.
Remember, if you encounter the same situation as me in the future, you must not set up a temptation, now that I think about it, I am still cold all over my body, if you and Qingque did not do that, but chose another way, how can I and the queen deal with themselves? Rather than this, it is better not to know anything, if you can have the ability to hide from me and the queen for a lifetime, it may not be our blessing.
True and false, false and true will always change with each other, some people his loyalty yesterday may not be from the sincerity, but today he can immediately betray you, recently I always think of Hou Junji, yesterday I went to Qin Mansion to visit Shubao, there are not a few days of good life, the older generation of people began to wither, sooner or later one day I will also grow old. As long as there is no battle between the mortuaries and the armor, it will be the greatest reward from heaven for me. ”
Moving the chair over and inviting Li Er to sit down, Yun Ye suddenly said: "Your Majesty, since you are tired of staying in the Jingshi, why don't you accompany you to go fishing in the South China Sea?" The Great Emperor is still floating in the South China Sea, you have only taken a ride in the lake, and there is nothing wrong with seeing the sea, anyway, this is how things in the capital are. Are you working there or not?
You have laid such a glorious country, it's a pity not to look around, now I Datang is not short of the money and food you go out to patrol, Guangzhou has been open for nearly a thousand years, its glory is now no less than Chang'an, now the Silk Road has been completely replaced by shipping, the outside countries can import less and less things, the minister thinks, the decline of Chang'an has been inevitable, this is not your Majesty's edict, or the migration of some large households to Chang'an can be avoided.
