The Taiye Pond behind the Xuanwu Gate finally began to start, this time it was only the first phase of the Taiye Pond project, mainly to repair the river embankment and dredge the sand, Yan Liben took people to start construction, and it will take some years to complete the overall completion.

The emperor was in a good mood, at least this time the Taiye Pool finally got his wish.

Seeing that it was approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, envoys from various countries also arrived in Chang'an City, not only the great commander of the Uighur royal court, but also the envoy of Tianzhu, the Tubo envoy Zhuo Ga and his line still did not come, and even Lu Dongzan did not send a messenger.

However, Songtsen Gampo is already in Chang'an City, and he can also act as a messenger.

This year's Great Dynasty Meeting must be an unprecedented year, and this year is the year when the most envoys come to the Tang Dynasty.

This made Tian Khan more and more dissatisfied with Goguryeo, and only Goguryeo people were missing every year, which made Tian Khan's original good mood a little more unhappy.

"It is said that the war in Persia has begun, and Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui have led the Anxi army to fight against the Great Cannibals."

Listening to the eldest grandson Wuji talk about this matter, Li Shimin did not express his position, and continued to practice writing.

The eldest grandson Wuji said again: "As for the situation of the war, the military report sent from the West will not be known until the next year. ”

There is no way, tens of thousands of miles from Persia to Chang'an, how can it be delivered so quickly.

Li Shimin was still practicing his words, and the eldest grandson Wuji lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the power of the Diplomatic Yuan should be handed over to Zhongshu Province, and the dispatch of the Metropolitan Protector should not be controlled by the Foreign Academy, but now it is like this, and it can't be like this in the future." ”

In front of the emperor, the eldest grandson Wuji is a loyal courtier, he is for the stability of the imperial power, but also for the sake of the society, this is his heartfelt words, for this he would rather take out his own right to speak, to Zhang Yang founded the diplomatic academy to seize power, the struggle for power between the DPRK and China has always been cruel.

This is true for the emperor, and it is also true for the courtiers, Zhang Yang can no longer be so laissez-faire.

The eldest grandson Wuji continued: "Your Majesty, the DPRK and China have always been separate from each other in civil and military affairs, and the military power is not with the six ministries, only the Foreign Affairs Yuan is a civil minister and still holds the military power, so this arrangement is unreasonable, and it will not convince everyone." ”

This sentence also talks about the interests of the current court.

Military power and civil ministers are indeed separated, and there is a clear boundary between military generals and civil ministers, and those who are in charge of military power and civil affairs are in their own affairs.

Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "The auxiliary machine is reasonable, and it is indeed unreasonable for the Foreign Affairs Yuan to act like this. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said again: "Your Majesty, the minister is thinking about the situation in the court, Pei Xingjian and his people have the soldiers and horses, and they must not continue to stay in the Foreign Academy, and Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance and other generals should pacify the Tianshan Mountains and should be given military posts." ”

Earlier, I talked about military power and civilian service.

The Foreign Yuan is in charge of the power of the Foreign Yuan, but not the military power, since they now have the Anxi Army and the Gaochang soldiers and horses in their hands, the eldest grandson Wuji will take the military power from them, even if the entire power is not among the six departments, it should be handed over to His Majesty.

Now going further, the eldest grandson Wuji is not only satisfied with depriving the Anxi Army that was pulled up by the Foreign Affairs Academy, but now he wants to take people and remove Pei Xingjian's entire young hero from the Foreign Affairs Academy.

Hearing this, Li Shimin didn't nod immediately, but hesitated.

The eldest grandson Wuji, the Chinese book order, is so jealous of the Foreign Affairs Yuan, and Li Shimin is also wary of the eldest grandson Wuji.

Some things can be heard, and some things can't be left alone.

As for Pei Xingjian's belonging, it will have to be discussed well in the future, this person is not in Zhang Yang's hands, let alone in the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji.

In addition to those founding veterans, there are only a few young and usable generals in the DPRK.

For a talent like Pei Xingjian, there is no way to be taken by the Foreign Affairs Yuan before the DPRK and China have not yet made a career, and Zhang Yang can only be blamed for seeing people accurately.

If he wants to transfer people away again and where to transfer them, Li Shimin feels that this issue needs to be discussed.

"Whether this person can be retained, I will discuss it after the Great Imperial Council, and then send someone to renegotiate the power of the capital protectorate according to what you said, and I will also consider the war in Persia before making a conclusion."

In this way, this topic is over, the eldest grandson Wuji is thinking in his heart, now the whole dynasty is in rest, Pei Xingjian is beyond the reach of the Persian court, and it will take three or two months to discuss in the court, and the news will be sent to Persia when there is a conclusion, and it will be more than half a year.

During this period, three or four years have passed since the coming and going, and when Pei Xingjian comes back, he may not know what years it will take, the eldest grandson Wuji sighed, and could only retire and leave.

His Majesty's conversation with Zhao Guogong also came out of the mouths of those good eunuchs in the palace.

The first to get the news was Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the East Palace.

"Lone said at the beginning that Zhang Yang was a lonely minister, and once a courtier like him was isolated, he would have to face the seizure of power by others." Li Chengqian sat by the fire, wore a loose robe, and grew a beard, and his speech was more mature than before.

He stood up with the scroll and looked up at the sky outside the hall, "It's a rare sunny day, I don't know what Zhang Yang is doing at this time, prepare a car for Lone, and Lone wants to go to Lishan for a walk." ”

"Your Highness, someone from the clan will come to visit in the near future." The subordinate officer on the side reminded.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Don't wait for them, I'll come to receive them after Gu comes back from Lishan." ”

"Whoa."

Lishan, Pei Xuanji's madman's diary was written quickly, but it was sent overnight, Zhang Yang sat on the edge of the ridge and looked at it, sprinkled with more than 100 words.

When Li Tai saw his brother-in-law's demeanor, he knew that this Pei Xuanji's article was definitely not satisfactory.

Zhang Yang handed the article to the Wei King guards on the side, "This article is not well written, he only wrote about the experiences of the characters in the madman's diary, and did not write about the current changes, where is the spiritual core?" Now that he knows the reasons for his bad resistance to oppression, he must write clearly the direction of the future, without these three things, no matter how good the rhetoric he uses, it is useless. ”

"Humble position, this will bring the words of the county marquis to Pei Xuanji."

Zhang Yang nodded slightly, and continued to swing the hoe, turning over the frozen soil in the field.

Li Tai ate dried persimmons, "So, brother-in-law is planning to cultivate Pei Xuanji?" ”

"People who take the lead need to be cultivated, not only need to cultivate people, but also cultivate seeds, the murder case in Luoyang has been settled, but it can't just end like this, we need a person who takes the lead in overturning the table."

Li Tai squatted on the edge of the ridge, "The imperial examination will prosper, and the family will decline." ”

There are also many villagers in the fields who are also busy, and the frozen soil must be turned over in order to cultivate the next year.

While busy, Li Tai's guards hurriedly came to report, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down and wants to see the county marquis." ”

Li Tai, who had been idle recently, heard the news and asked, "The prince came to see his brother-in-law?" ”

The guard whispered, "There are only three or two guards around." ”

Li Tai pretended to kick his guard, "What do you do, is it possible that the king wants to kill the prince at this time and go to the East Palace?" ”

The guards were kicked back again and again.

Zhang Yang said wistfully: "It is said that our Lishan shelf is big, and we can't not see the prince, otherwise it will be too unusual." ”

Li Tai straightened his clothes, "It's okay, this king went to see the prince with his brother-in-law." ”

Handing the hoe in his hand to the guard, Zhang Yang instructed: "Help me turn over the frozen soil of this land, it is rare that the sunny weather must turn over all these acres of land today." ”

Looking at the few acres of fields in front of him, the amount of labor was embarrassing, and the guard gritted his teeth and responded.

And Zhang Yanghe left and came to the Weishui River to see Li Chengqian.

I haven't seen this prince for a long time, he has a mustache and a beard on his chin.

And Zhang Yang is still the same, with a scumbag on his face.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I haven't seen you for a long time." Zhang Yang bowed.

Li Tai also saluted and said, "I've seen the imperial brother." ”

"Well, I haven't been to Lishan for a long time." Li Chengqian looked at the Weishui River, "It's still winter, this Lishan is as industrious as ever, and it has begun to turn over the soil and thaw before the beginning of spring." ”

The prince put his hands behind his back, looked up into the distance and said, "Gu heard a piece of news today. ”

Zhang Yang paused slightly, "This kid must have something to do with Lishan." ”

"That's right, it's really about Lishan, especially you." Li Chengqian breathed in the cold air here, "Zhao Guogong said to his father that he wanted to take away the right to appoint the protector of Lishan, and also to transfer Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui, and Wang Xuance, and in the future, you will only have the right to diplomacy, but you will no longer have the right to appoint the protector." ”

"Traditionally, the DPRK Chinese the armed forces have their own authority, let alone interfere with their respective powers, and the military power and the government are separated, and the Foreign Affairs Yuan cannot leave, besides, ......."

After a pause, Li Chengqian pondered for a moment, and then spoke, "Pei Xingjian controls the entire Anxi Army with one protector, although there are not many people, but it is not suitable, Zhao Guogong means that he hopes that the capital protector of the Anxi capital needs a person who can be trusted by both the Chinese and the military." ”

Listening to Li Chengqian's words, Zhang Yang was silent and did not reply.

"Zhang Yang." Li Chengqian patted him on the shoulder, "I heard that Yue'er is pregnant again?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "It's been five months." ”

Li Chengqian smiled, "The queen mother often talks about this matter, and she also intends to arrange that she will not need Lishan to go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings this year, and the queen mother will come to Lishan in person." ”

"That's fine."

No matter what the prince said, this Lishan County Marquis nodded in response.

This made the subordinate officials of the East Palace standing aside feel uncomfortable.

Li Chengqian frowned, "There has always been a struggle for authority since Lonely, and Zhao Guogong wants to seize power, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhang Yang stood with his hands folded, "It is a good thing that Zhao Guogong is dedicated to the community. ”

"A good thing? Lone Ke heard that the historical power struggles are very dangerous. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince laughed, how can it be so scary, Zhao Guogong is the secretary of the court, my highest official position is just a small Zhongshu squire, Zhao Guogong's words are the words of Zhongshu Province, our Foreign Affairs Yuan will definitely do it."

Li Chengqian's expression was stunned, how could these words be different from what he thought before.

Zhang Yang said again: "The position of the protector has been an important position in the DPRK since the Han Dynasty, and now that my Datang has reused it, such a big power should not only let the Foreign Affairs Yuan have the final say." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may wish to think about it, the Foreign Affairs Yuan was first established, and the construction of the Metropolitan Protectorate was the first time to be competent, and it was inevitable that there would be inappropriateness, and the official position of the Metropolitan Protectorate was also handled by our Foreign Affairs Academy, and it was inevitable that there would be inappropriateness.

Zhang Yang saluted to Chang'an City, "Xie Zhao Guogong thinks about my Ministry of Rites, and the officials thank you." ”

"You ......" Li Chengqian wanted to speak and stopped, "why aren't you in a hurry?" ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "What's there to worry about, Pei Xingjian is now far away in Persia, even if it is appointed by the court, plus the news of the appointment is transmitted, it will take at least a year, back and forth for three or four years, these two years are enough for Pei Xingjian to do a lot of things." ”

"Besides, even if the DPRK and China want to change people, Pei Xingjian is now rushing to help Persia, and it is not appropriate to replace people for a while, Pei Xingjian has been slightly effective in presiding over the affairs of the Western Regions, and he is not in a hurry to arrange for others to replace him."

"Zhao Guogong is far-sighted, and this matter must be discussed again."

If you want to say that this prince is honest, what others say is what? I heard some wind and hurried to Lishan.

It was the prince's kindness, and Zhang Yang didn't want to hit him.

Speak as tactfully as possible, although the eldest grandson Wuji said that it was the Zhongshu Order, he was not the sole one in the entire Zhongshu Province.

It involves the Anxi Protectorate and Persia, how can it be so easy to change people because of the eldest grandson Wuji's words, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, is it just a decoration?

If you want to talk about military power, you can't avoid the military department and many generals in the DPRK and China.

Other words...... To conclude this matter, the Taiji Hall said that it would take three or five group fights.

"Huh? Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince eaten? Zhang Yang asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Li Chengqian didn't come back to his senses for a while, suddenly pulled his thoughts back, and said, "I've eaten alone." ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is at his own convenience, and the minister still has to go to turn over the fields." ”

"I don't know where the bear has gone, whether it is still asleep at home."

Zhang Yang babbled in his mouth and walked towards the field.

Li Tai also left with a smile to hold.

The prince, as always, was still an honest man, and he thought that he had heard a major matter related to the Foreign Affairs Yuan, so he hurriedly came to Lishan to inform him.

Good intentions are good intentions, but how can this matter be decided so quickly.

There are many variables in the future, it involves the overall situation outside the border, and the eldest grandson Wuji only blew a gust of wind in a word, as for how this gust of wind will blow in the future, it depends on the meaning of Tian Khan.

Zhang Yang and Li Tai both went to the fields to get busy.

Li Chengqian stood in place and felt that he was redundant, so he had to return to Chang'an City with his subordinates.

Now in a house in Chang'an City, Pei Xuanji sits in the room of the post house, and every year it is the most lively time of the post house, and the guests who come and go are also the most.

It's not a good place to write an article in a noisy environment, let alone a quiet place to write a madman's diary.

Chang'an City has a lot of land, and there is not much money on hand, so it is good to have a room at a reasonable price.

He wrote down all the words sent by King Wei's guards, looked at the words he had just written, and fell into deep thought......

What does this spiritual core mean?

Fighting oppression?

Looking for a new direction?

He scratched his head and gasped, what is this? It's so profound!
