When the time came, Zhang Yang followed the Manchu ministers into from the Vermilion Bird Gate, walked all the way through the Chengtian Gate, and then walked to the Taiji Palace.

Among the officials at all levels of the six ministries, Zhang Yang, who is only over 20 years old, is also particularly conspicuous.

Whether it is Tang Jian, Yang Shidao, or Yan Liben, everyone is middle-aged, and only Zhang Yang is so young.

And they stood in their places in the court, and they did not speak aloud.

Li Xiaogong is still chatting with Li Daozong, and everyone has their own chat partners.

This was the time of harmony before the emperor came to the court.

Zhang Daxiang and Zhang Dasu consciously stood up.

Looking at Xu Jingzong's expression, Zhang Yang asked, "Old Xu, why are you so energetic every morning." ”

Xu Jingzong looked upright again when he heard this, "The early dynasty naturally wants spirits. ”

"What's the secret?"

Zhang Yang asked again, it is indeed rare to be able to maintain such a spirit for many years.

Xu Jingzong arched his hand and said, "The secret? Only go to bed early and get up early. ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "This is really a secret." ”

"Although Zhang Shangshu is young, he should also pay attention to his body, don't be too tired, he has no energy every morning."

Zhang Yang stood up again, "I wrote a chapter last night, and I wrote a general outline of the Western Regions overnight. ”

Xu Jingzong smiled knowingly and arched his hand: "Zhang Shangshu is hard. ”

Zhang Yang emphasized: "I am really writing a concerto. ”

Seeing that the smile on this guy's face was still there, as if the depiction was getting darker and darker, Zhang Yang stood up again, and didn't want to explain anymore.

Finally, Li Shimin came, and the courtiers stood neatly.

The early dynasty was still the same as always, and each ministry said the affairs of each ministry in its own order.

When it was the turn of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Yang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, yesterday the Foreign Affairs Yuan has taken over the Qiuzi royal family, and now this is waiting for Your Majesty to fall after the autumn." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Yang handed over another piece of music, "This is the follow-up method written by the minister." ”

The eunuch in front of the palace took the recital.

Li Shimin saw that the various ministries had nothing else to report, and said: "I recently discussed with Yan Liben about the construction of the Taiye Pond and the construction of the river embankment, what do you think. ”

The ministers in the palace were all talking.

Wei Zheng first stood up from the court, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, how much does the Taiye Pool occupy?" ”

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "A thousand acres." ”

Wei Zheng said: "To open up a thousand acres of land, the amount of money, grain, and manpower required, it has only been two years for the better, and it is the time to accumulate national strength." ”

Listening to Wei Zheng speak, Li Shimin hadn't spoken yet.

Zhang Yang stood up for the court, "Your Majesty, the ministers are also opposed." ”

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, and he endured the annoyance in his heart and said in a deep voice: "This matter is also related to the Ministry of Rites?" ”

"Of course it is."

I had anticipated this scene for a long time, and I was already mentally prepared to be opposed, and even said hello to the eldest grandson Wuji Fang Xuanling.

I thought that whoever jumped out to oppose it would forget it, I didn't expect Zhang Yang to jump out, this kid opened up more than 1,000 acres of land in Lishan and no one said anything about him.

I wanted to build a pool of liquid, but he jumped out, and this kid built his own construction and came to guide me, and he was very thick-skinned.

Zhang Yang said again: "If Your Majesty overhauls the Taiye Pool, it will definitely require a lot of manpower and grain, and the current situation in the Western Regions is tense, and the entire Western Regions is in chaos in a matter of moments. ”

"That's what you're talking about, and it's about the Ministry of Rites?" Li Shimin's old face became even darker.

"Your Majesty, once there is chaos in the Western Regions, we must keep the troops in need in case of emergency." Zhang Yang's words paused, and he sorted it out again, "Don't panic when you have food at home, don't be in a hurry to be extravagant and wasteful because you have saved some money, if Your Majesty uses up the national strength, what kind of war will we fight." ”

Hearing that there was going to be a war, several sharp eyes from the general's side struck.

These eyes fell on Zhang Yang.

Unaware of the gaze behind him, Zhang Yang said again: "Please also think twice, Your Majesty, every article and thing used in the court is for the sake of the society." ”

"I ......"

Wei Zheng said again: "What Zhang Shangshu said is extremely true, with such foresight, it is terrifying. ”

Originally, I greeted most of the people in the DPRK.

Perhaps Wei Zheng, Wang Qi and others will stand up against this matter.

Now there is another Zhang Yang.

Angry, Li Shimin calmed down and said, "We'll discuss it after building the Taiye Pool." ”

The early dynasty, which was originally quite smooth, broke up unhappily.

Noticing that the emperor glanced at himself before leaving, Zhang Yang's heart was as calm as Mount Tai, and the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

The matter of taking down the Qiuci royal family caused a lot of noise in Chang'an City.

Thankfully, this time no one jumped out to impeach themselves.

Just as he was thinking about following the crowd out of the Taiji Palace, Zhang Yang saw a eunuch blocking his way.

Dodge to the left, and the other person also moves to the left.

If you go to the right again, the other party still stops.

Looking from the bottom up, Zhang Yang saw the old eunuch, "Your Majesty is going to hand over the other land?" Our family has been waiting for a long time. ”

The old eunuch had a smile on his face, "Zhang Shangshu said with a smile, Your Majesty invited Zhang Shangshu to enter the palace to discuss the Western Regions." ”

Zhang Yang sighed: "Lead the way." ”

followed him out of the Taiji Palace, and instead of following the crowd out of the Chengtian Gate, he turned to the other side of the Chengtian Gate.

Xu Jingzong looked at this scene and said: "Being able to meet privately after the early dynasty shows that His Majesty Zhang Shangshu is extremely important. ”

Zhang Daxiang shook his head and left.

Xu Jingzong is the person who follows Zhang Yang the most, he is quite effective, and he has been getting along for a long time, and his usual behavior is uncomfortable.

and Zhang Yang too, who didn't come to ask about matters for ten days and a half months.

Zhang Daxiang sped up his pace, after all, this Ministry of Rites still has to take responsibility for itself, Zhang Shangshu and Xu Shilang can't count on it.

From the Taiji Hall all the way to the Xingqing Hall.

Zhang Yang looked at the emperor who was eating porridge, and he still held the piece he presented in his hand.

"According to what you said, I've started to eat breakfast now, and you usually eat three meals a day like this?"

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty can understand the hard work of the minister, it is really a great blessing, and I am gratifying." ”

"A great blessing?"

"If you don't eat breakfast for a long time, it's easy to get stomach problems, and this disease is not easy to treat."

"When you say that, I think of it, and there are many people in the army who have left this stubborn disease in the past."

Zhang Yang continued: "Your Majesty is the Heavenly Khan, so naturally you should also pay attention to your body. ”

After drinking a bowl of soup, Li Shimin's eyes were still on this chapter, and he was full of words, "We must support a puppet who can control the Western Regions, and be able to let the Tang Dynasty do it." ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "Your Majesty, the ultimate goal of the Ministry of Rites is to bring the entire Western Regions into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"You're still too young after all, this piece looks very far-sighted, but there are also a lot of omissions, even if you raise a puppet who can control the Western Regions, it's just to give power to others, not in your own hands."

"With the change of time, everything will change, and the power will eventually fall into the hands of others, as you said, and then support a Great Khan of the Western Regions to oppose the current Ye Hu, the puppet Khan you support has no soldiers and horses in his hands, let alone power, how to compete with Ye Hu Khan."

Zhang Yang replied: "Your Majesty, power has always been the desire of the people, the masses are the greatest force, and the ordinary herdsmen of the Western Turks are what our Ministry of Rites wants to fight for. ”

Looking at Li Shimin's expression, Zhang Yang said again: "Please don't be so decadent, the Tang Dynasty should open up its territory, this world is very big, not only Liaodong and the Western Regions, but also a broader world, waiting for the Heavenly Khan to conquer, and the minister also knows that there are many treasures waiting for us to discover in the far west." ”

Li Shimin must be constantly instilled with ambition, and the emperor will become lazy without ambition, which is a terrible thing.

"If Your Majesty does not want to expand the territory and establish meritorious deeds, the existence of the Ministry of Rites and the Foreign Affairs Yuan will lose its meaning."

Li Shimin sighed: "Why don't I want to build a thousand years of merit, otherwise I wouldn't use Lishan to exchange Gaochang, if you want to take the Western Regions, how long will it take?" ”

The palace maids on the side took away the bowl in front of His Majesty, they consciously cleaned up the table, and then left silently with the bowl used by the emperor.

Zhang Yang thought about it for a long time.

Li Shimin put away this recital, "If you can't give time, I can't force it." ”

"It can be as short as three years, as long as 10 years."

Hearing this reply, Li Shimin smiled, "Really? ”

Zhang Yang said wistfully: "That's what the minister thinks, start with culture, occupy the Western Turks with culture, and three years later, the Tang Dynasty also has the national strength to conquer the Western Regions." ”

Li Shimin smiled.

Zhang Yang saluted again, "The minister needs time." ”

"I give you time, Xu Xiaode submitted a note to impeach you before, and some people have a lot of words about your Lishan."

"Lishan is rich, naturally there will be a lot of criticism, I have always been a person who can accept criticism, the interests of Lishan and the court are together, I can accept criticism and people's discussions, and I hope that Your Majesty will take a firm position, for our goal, strengthen the country and enrich the people, expand the territory, and conquer the world."

"As Wei Zheng said, the future is terrifying." Li Shimin looked at the chapter again, "When do you need my will to canonize a Western Turkic Great Khan against Ye Hu, who is this person?" ”

"The minister is still thinking about it, and His Majesty only needs to cooperate when the time comes."

"If nothing else, you can step down."

The words fell, and seeing that Zhang Yang was still standing in place, as a heavenly khan, he naturally couldn't deal with this kind of young man, Li Shimin said again: "Do you have anything else?" ”

"Your Majesty, when will the two thousand acres of land be given to me, it has been delayed for two months, and it will be delayed again and again, and it will be summer if it is delayed again."

Finally, he was in a better mood, and Li Shimin's moment disappeared, "Come on, fork this kid out." ”

"Your Majesty! You are the Khan of the Heavens, and the Khan of the Heavens can't be repaid. ”

A few guards dragged themselves and were about to leave the Xingqing Palace, Zhang Yang said loudly: "The heavenly khan is all in debt, there is no reason for this!" There is no royal law left. ”

The voice became farther and farther away, until the voice completely disappeared, Li Shimin picked up this Western Regions sketch again and continued to look at it, "Let everyone in the Western Regions learn the Central Plains script and write the Central Plains script?" Cultural unity? Get rid of all backward customs and ignorance in the Western Regions. ”

After looking at it for a long time, Li Shimin couldn't help nodding, "Well, it's really an ambitious kid." ”

The more he looked at this sketch, the more he liked it, and used culture to influence the Western Turks for a long time, how did he come up with this method, and the writing and customs of the Western Turks would disappear after a hundred years, which was really heartbreaking.

The eunuchs and palace maids on the side stood with their heads bowed and did not speak.

I just think that His Majesty is in a very good mood, and I have been watching this piece for a long time, and I am still watching it.

It is indeed unreasonable for the emperor to repay his debts, and it is a very stupid thing to talk to the emperor about the royal law.

Zhang Yang quickened his pace and walked all the way, passing by the Taiji Palace, and happened to meet Xu Xiaode.

"Zhang Shangshu, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"It turned out to be Chief Xu." Zhang Yang waved his hands and said, "What has Chief Xu been doing lately?" ”

Xu Xiaode had a smile on his face, "Accompany the prince to study Hanshu." ”

"Good work."

"It's not hard."

Keep walking.

"I heard that Chief Xu impeached me again?"

"Huh? How did Zhang Shangshu know. Xu Xiaode asked again, "Did you listen to whom?" The lower officials impeached the villagers of Lishan for their barbaric lack of discipline, but they didn't expect that His Majesty had not approved it, and Zhang Shangshu knew it first. ”

Zhang Yang had a smile on his face, "Is it that the errand in the East Palace is too idle, you said that you have nothing to do, what are you doing to impeach me three times and twice?" ”

"Ben is also idle, and when he encounters injustice, he will naturally be impeached."

"Really? I thought you were targeting me. ”

"Xiaguan and Zhang Shangshu have never had a holiday."

"I see." Zhang Yang sighed with emotion, "Actually, Your Majesty saw your recital, so he talked to me." ”

"Really?" Chief Xu was even more energetic, "What did Your Majesty say?" ”

"Your Majesty said that you should teach the prince well, don't get involved in such idle things at ordinary times, Lishan is the princess's fiefdom, and I will beat you next time."

"Tian Khan is widely accepted, and impeachment is naturally the duty of the lower officials."

Not only is the mouth broken, but also the brain.

After a few words and stopping, Zhang Yang said again: "Actually, I have seen some things recently, I don't know if Xu Changyi is interested." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Something happened to the family, and I heard that someone eloped again recently."

"Elopement? Why? ”

"Because of love, but what the family does...... They will beat to death those who eloped with their own children and sink into the river. ”

After hearing these words, Xu Xiaode gasped, "Such a loss of conscience." ”

Zhang Yang said: "There are a lot of ugly things in this world, and then think about what is wrong with love, what I want to say is this, I know that Xu Changyi is a hot-blooded and upright person, how can I allow them to do nonsense." ”

Leaving Xu Xiaode alone to think in place, Zhang Yang sped up his pace and left.

When leaving the imperial city, Zhang Yang walked to the door of the Foreign Affairs Academy, beckoned Xu Jingzong, who was doing business, and the two whispered a few words, and then separated.

Some people stared at the outside of the Foreign Affairs Academy, and also watched the movement of the Foreign Affairs Academy.

I don't know what Zhang Yang and Xu Jingzong said.

In the next few days, Xu Jingzong often ran to the dungeon of the Criminal Department.

His Majesty's fate of the Qiuzi royal family will not be known until after the autumn, but Xu Jingzong ran very diligently to the dungeon.
