Chapter 193: The Ministry of Rites is different

gave him power, and he didn't use it well, but this kid had no intention of ruling the government, but he was very attentive to the construction of the fiefdom.

"Does he go to the fiefdom every day now?" Li Shimin asked.

"It's not that I go every day, I will go over every two or three days to have a look, but His Royal Highness King Wei will go to work as a coolie every day, and I heard the guards of the Wei Palace's mansion say that this is to lose weight."

Li Tai is indeed very fat, and even Lu Zhaolin of the Imperial Medical Department said that it is not a good thing to be so fat.

"Your Majesty." The eunuch outside the hall walked in small steps, "Xu Guogong is here." ”

Hearing this, Li Junxian bowed down and said, "The last general will retire." ”

Li Shimin's face was embarrassed, "Invite Xu Guogong in." ”

Gao Shilian walked into the hall and saw Li Shimin saluting and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are old, and they often forget things and often fall asleep. ”

Li Shimin hurriedly helped Gao Shilian to sit down, "Every time I think of the time when Taiyuan raised troops, my uncle was able to spare no effort to help, and I still remember it in my heart now, and I dare not forget that year." ”

Gao Shilian lowered his head and arched his hand, "Your Majesty is now in the prime of life, there are many talented people in the court, and the ministers only hope that Your Majesty and the queen will be healthy and the world will be peaceful." ”

Holding Gao Shilian's hand, Li Shimin smiled as if he was a teenager, "I know very well my uncle's efforts for the society and the world. ”

After saying this, Li Shimin said to the eunuch on the side, "Take the wine." ”

Li Shimin personally poured Gao Shilian a glass of wine, "My uncle has been in the Ministry of Officials for several years, but all the officials appointed by my uncle can display their talents and have such a sense of knowledge, so that we can have today's court." I respect my uncle. ”

After speaking, Li Shimin drank all the wine in the wine bottle.

Li Shimin's uncle talked about his feelings very seriously.

Gao Shilian is the uncle of Empress Changsun, and Li Shimin should also call his uncle, put down his shelf as an emperor, and have a long talk with Gao Shilian.

In the Wei Palace, next to the imperial city, Li Tai anxiously waited for news.

After a while, the people in the house returned.

"Any news?" Li Tai asked anxiously.

"Back to His Royal Highness the King of Wei, Your Majesty and Xu Guocheng have a long talk in the Ganlu Palace, I think it won't be too long before there will be news."

"Okay, I'm waiting for news." Li Tai sat down in his mansion.

In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin continued to say to Gao Shilian, "Uncle thinks of Master Yang? ”

Gao Shilian replied, "Yang Shidao has not been at fault so far as to serve as a servant of the Ministry of Officials, he is cautious and diligent, and His Majesty can use it." ”

"I know that my uncle is old, and the affairs of the ministry can also be handed over to Yang Shidao to deal with, and I still need my uncle to sit in charge for some more time."

Looking at Li Shimin's sincere expression, Gao Shilian nodded slightly.

"Uncle has the ability to read people, I don't know what my uncle thinks of Zhang Yang?"

Gao Shilian said slowly, "The old minister also sent Li Baiyao into the Ministry of Rites, but many matters in the Ministry of Rites avoided Li Baiyao, now it seems that this son is young but has such a skill, if it is polished well, it can also be reused by His Majesty, compared with Yang Shidao, Zhang Yang is more courageous in doing things, and he dares to fight." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I think so too." ”

Gao Shilian's expression was a little more gloomy, "The old minister has not had contact with Zhang Yang, if you can talk to him for a long time, watch more time, and have some confidence in your heart, how a person's character depends on his previous experience, but Zhang Yang's previous was too clean, as clean as a bowl of water, and the impurities in it could not be seen at a glance." ”

"But such a person can maneuver between Tuyuhun and the Turks, without teaching, without experience, and without being taught by a famous teacher before, such an ordinary young man has such ability."

Listening to Gao Shilian's narration, Li Shimin smiled and said, "What a strange person? ”

"There are few strange people in the world, but fortunately, this son is young, and His Majesty asked Zhang Gongjin to teach him the way of life with him, also to polish him."

"I do."

"Since he is a concubine, the king of Hejian County treats him like a son and nephew, but the only thing he lacks is his loyalty to His Majesty and his respect for the country."

Li Shimin said with a smile, "After all, he is a mountain boy who lacks teaching." ”

His Majesty talked with Gao Shilian for more than an hour, until Gao Shilian walked out of the Ganlu Hall again, and Li Shimin's will also came out of the Ganlu Palace.

Yang Shidao was named the Duke of Ande County, plus Taichang Siqing.

Li Tai listened to the narration of the people in the mansion and said in surprise: "What? Didn't the father let Xu Guo announce the old resignation? ”

"I didn't mention it, I just sealed Yang Shidao."

Yang Shidao was named the county duke, and he was given an official position of Taichang Siqing.

Li Tai slapped the table in annoyance, "This king's five thousand!" Five thousand! ”

Five thousand guan is a lot of money, and the business of soap and cakes adds up to a year's income, if the Wei Wangfu takes out these five thousand guan, the entire mansion will drink the northwest wind again.

Why did King Wei make a bet with Zhang Yang?

Alas......

The people in the house could only sigh helplessly.

Fortunately, Zhang Yang is not in a hurry, and the five thousand guan can only be kept and handed over to others in the future.

Li Tai sat on the ground and looked at the blue sky outside, "This king shouldn't bet with him, right?" ”

How dare a group of subordinates count the King of Wei.

"There is also news that Your Majesty plans to go to Qizhou for a summer vacation, and the DPRK and China are already preparing."

"The king knows."

Li Tai said weakly.

Soon the palace brought another invitation, and the person who came was the queen's palace maid, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the queen intends to let Princess Runan and Zhang Shilang go to Qizhou for summer vacation, and also ask King Wei to hand it over to Zhang Shilang and Princess Runan, and His Royal Highness the King of Wei will go to the summer vacation together." ”

Li Tai took the invitation, "Who else went to Qizhou for summer vacation this time." ”

"The queen didn't say much."

It's the palace maid in the mother's harem, and Li Tai doesn't want to ask too much.

Standing in place for a long time, Li Taiyi stomped his feet and howled pathetically, "Five thousand! ”

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Li Tai walked out of his mansion quickly.

Let the guards drive the horses all the way to Lishan.

Seeing that Zhang Yang and Zhang Gongjin were sitting at the entrance of the village, Li Tai stepped forward, "The invitation given to you by the queen mother." ”

After receiving the invitation, Zhang Yang opened it and looked at it puzzled, "What does Your Majesty have to do with me going to escape the summer?" ”

Li Tai found a clean stone and sat down, "The people who can go to escape the summer together are all people that my father values very much, and they are also some big people." ”

"What does His Royal Highness King Wei mean that your father values me very much?"

Li Tai turned his head and looked unhappy, "You do have some ability." ”

Zhang Yang put away the invitation, "Qizhou is in the Weibei area." ”

Li Tai nodded, "It's a good place to escape the heat, and it is surrounded by Bicheng Mountain in the north and Tongshan Mountain in the east, so it's cool and pleasant to go there next month, in fact, Chang'an City is very stuffy in the summer palace." ”

With a sigh, Li Tai looked at Zhang Gongjin on the side, "This king knows that there is such a master by his side, so he won't bet with him." ”

Zhang Yang looked at the scenery in the village, "Gao Shilian still didn't succeed in resigning after all. ”

Li Tai looked sad, "You said that Xu Guogong is already so old, why didn't his father let him resign?" Besides, the imperial examination is also ready to be implemented, and Xu Guogong is also a person who opposes the current imperial examination. ”

Zhang Gongjin looked at the medical hall that had opened, and there were many doctors who heard the news, and in the end, there were only three or five left, and he didn't plan to look for more in the future.

It's just that today's medical clinics can't accommodate so many people.

A notice was posted at the door of the medical hall, and the six doctors collected this time were only on probation for one month, and if the trial did not meet the standards of Dr. Sun Shen after one month, they would eventually be dismissed, and then re-recruited.

It's an interesting recruiting strategy.

It also seems fair.

Zhang Gongjin looked at the medical hall and said with a smile, "There are more people who come to inquire than to see a doctor, the business of your medical center is not good, and it seems that you will lose a lot of money in the future." ”

"I think the teacher sees it closely, the reputation of seeing a doctor is very important, and the price of treatment is cheaper and better, there is a natural reputation for Dr. Sun Shen, if people know that our hospital is cheap, there will be more people who come to see the doctor, and the more important thing is that we are a medical center that specializes in surgery."

"You send money to the hospital regardless of losses, just for the long-term plan in the future."

Zhang Yang smiled, "After the village is built, some people will naturally see our commercial street, and when someone comes to our commercial street, they will naturally see our medical center. ”

"Long-term thinking, good at management, the old man sees another strength in you." Zhang Gongjin stroked his beard and said.

"Or because the village is so poor, I need a place where I can have enough wealth to support my old age."

Li Tai's attention quickly attracted the bear's cute appearance.

At this moment, the two geese are locked in the duck pen and cannot get out.

And the bear was also outside eager to get in.

The bear and the goose are on the same page, and now there is a fence, and the two sides who often fight have a different kind of relationship at this moment.

I don't know how the two geese will feel when the bear grows up and eats them in one bite.

Obviously the bear cub is higher in the food chain.

Bad fate.

Li Tai didn't dare to tease the bear easily, he knew that this cute bear would not even be an opponent in the future.

"Teacher, I intend to impose heavy taxes on the Turks."

Zhang Gongjin asked, "How to pay taxes." ”

Zhang Yang shook his fan, "If the Turks just sell livestock to the Tang Dynasty, the gold and silver of the Tang Dynasty will continue to flow out, and the gold and silver flowing into the Guanzhong of the Turks is really good, which is not a good phenomenon, so I plan to add a tax to the circulation of goods between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty." ”

"If you want to do this, you will probably cause discontent among the Turks."

"I don't plan to discuss with the Turks, this is a condition for business with the Tang Dynasty."

"Is this the next strategy of the Ministry of Rites against the Turks?"

"Use higher taxes to control the Turks, to restrain the development of the Turks, so that the Turks cannot accumulate strength, and if the Turks do not have enough money to pay this tax, they can replace it with war horses and cattle."

Zhang Gongjin said with a smile, "Tu Poor Dagger, I can hide for so long, I deserve to be the disciple of the old man." ”

In June, Chang'an was getting hotter and hotter, and thunderstorms began again in the afternoon.

Xu Jingzong hurriedly returned to the Ministry of Rites.

It has been a month since Li Baiyao came to the Ministry of Rites, and the days for Xu Shilang to come to the Ministry of Rites are numbered.

Seeing him hurriedly write down a recital, and seeing him hurriedly leave the Ministry of Rites, he didn't say a word.

Li Baiyao stood in place stunned, "He didn't seem to see me." ”

Zhongshu Province, Fang Xuanling listened to Xu Jingzong's words, "Tuyuhun is about to die?" ”

Xu Jingzong handed over a note, "The latest news, the Tuyuhun royal family has gone to the Hexi Corridor for refuge, according to the previous agreement, the Tang Dynasty can receive the Tuyuhun royal family, and also ask Zhongshu Province to draw up a charter, so that the Ministry of War will send someone to send the news to the Hexi Corridor, at that time, please General Niu Jinda, who is stationed in the Hexi Corridor, send someone to escort the royal family of Tuyuhun into Chang'an, and we must not lose, and our Ministry of Rites will also let Zhang Dasu go to greet together, the matter is set by the Ministry of Rites, and our Ministry of Rites will naturally have to send people." ”

Fang Xuanling was puzzled, "Where did you get the news?" ”

Xu Jingzong replied, "The news brought by the people from the Ministry of Rites. ”

These words made Fang Xuanling's brows tighten, and he almost forgot that the Ministry of Rites didn't have to go through the six departments to inquire about things now, and he didn't know what happened to the Ministry of Rites now.

Before the DPRK received the news from the Hexi Corridor, the Ministry of Rites had already received it first.

I don't know if the news is true.

"Where did the news from your Ministry of Rites come from? The old man just asked, to mobilize the troops of the Ministry of War and the Hexi Corridor, Zhongshu Province can cooperate with the Ministry of Rites, which is also an agreement between His Majesty and the Ministry of Rites, but Zhongshu Province must confirm whether the news is true. ”

Xu Jingzong bowed slightly, "What the minister said is that it is better to wait for two days for the time being, and the news of the Hexi Corridor is on the way." ”

Fang Xuanling put down the music in his hand, "If this is the case, the Zhongshu Provincial Government will do it in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Rites." ”

Xu Jingzong arched his hand and said, "We're not in a hurry. ”

When I came to Zhongshu Province, the thunder rumbled, the torrential rain poured down, and Xu Jingzong, who was standing under the eaves, was not in a good mood when he looked at the heavy rain.

Zhongshu Province still can't trust the Ministry of Etiquette, and it should be thought about carefully.

The DPRK and China are somewhat prejudiced against the current Ministry of Rites.

Two days later, the news finally reached the court, and the Tuyuhun royal family fled all the way east.

Fang Xuanling confirmed the news, and then sent someone to the military department.

The Ministry of War immediately sent people to the Hexi Corridor, and Zhang Dasu accompanied him all the way, and he wanted to meet the royal family of Tuyuhun on behalf of the Ministry of Rites.

Xu Jingzong and Zhang Yang held their hands to bid farewell to the team of the military department.

Zhang Daxiang watched his younger brother leave with the team, "This is the first time Dasu has gone to the border pass. ”

Zhang Yang asked Xu Jingzong in a low voice, "What was the name of the messenger of Tuyuhun before?" ”

"Let the lower officer think about it." After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't remember it a little, Xu Jingzong took out a file he was carrying with him and opened it and looked at it, "It's called Adalan." ”

"Is this guy still alive?"

"It's still alive, it's all up to this guy to persuade the Tuyuhun royal family, and now he is on the way to Chang'an with his whole family and the entire Tuyuhun royal family."

Zhang Yang sighed, "I'm going to go on a long trip recently, and the affairs of the Ministry of Rites will be handed over to you, Dur and the people of the little Turkic Khan have arrived in Chang'an, you will receive them first, and we will talk about them when I come back." ”

Xu Jingzong arched his hand and said, "Zhang Shilang rest assured, the lower officials will do it well." ”

Zhang Yang patted him on the shoulder, "Do things well, and you will have a good future in the future." ”
