After being drunk by His Majesty like this, the ministers quieted down, and each stood up and bowed their heads, looking like they were admitting their mistakes and being honest.

"The ministers are rude in front of the palace, and please punish Your Majesty." The eldest grandson Wuji said in advance.

"The ministers are rude in front of the palace, and please punish Your Majesty!" The ministers said in unison.

The law does not blame the public, and you can't beat a group with a stick, don't look at the honest appearance of this group of civil and military ministers now, these killings should be beaten or will be beaten.

Li Shimin looked at them angrily, and said in a loud voice: "Xuan Ling, you speak first." ”

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, now Pei Xingjian, the protectorate of Anxi, is still rushing to aid Persia, the war between Persia and Dashi is not yet known, and the Anxi Protectorate must not be left unattended, and the minister thinks that he should send a scribe to preside over the affairs of the Western Regions." ”

Cheng Yanjin took a step forward, "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that he will not only send Wenchen, but also send Wucheng to defend one side." ”

After speaking, Wei Chigong straightened his messy hair, and straightened the official hat that was just leaning, "Your Majesty, Zhijie is right. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji stood up from the court, "Your Majesty, if the military generals make reckless moves, are they under the control of the officials of the Protectorate." ”

"Eldest grandson Wuji, what do you mean!" Niu Jinda was not happy on the spot.

In the face of the question, the eldest grandson Wuji stood still, and said: "Your Majesty, the outside of the Guanxi is not as good as the Guanzhong, there are groups of bandits in the Western Regions, and many old clans of small countries are still there. ”

Wei Zheng said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister is reconsidering!" ”

Cheng bit his golden jaw and said: "Our generals should be able to control themselves. ”

As soon as the words fell, Wei Zheng snorted coldly, "I heard that Cheng Zhijie's food often has cows breaking their legs, is it a local feng shui evil sect, or are you trying to satisfy your appetite." ”

Cheng Biting Jin suddenly became angry and bloody, and his old face turned red, "Old horseman, don't deceive people too much." ”

"If you can't control yourself yet, how can you control your subordinates!"

"The old man's cow broke his leg, what does it have to do with you, and what does it have to do with the subordinates of the Wei Mansion!"

Seeing that he was about to quarrel again, Li Shimin simply stood up, "Retreat!" ”

The ministers saluted again, and when His Majesty left, the civil and military sides left.

Li Shimin was sitting in the Ganlu Palace, and Cen Wenwen came to report on the matter of the Lishan Brewery.

It's for the kid in Lishan who is still happily counting the money.

I have been worried about political affairs here, and he has had a very comfortable past two years.

That hateful smiling face appeared in his mind, and Li Shimin wanted to tear that face apart.

Shangguanyi wants to help rebuild the chicken and duck pen in Lantian County, while waiting for the approval given by the court.

Zhang Yang was fishing by the river with a fishing rod, he was in a depressed mood, and the air in the pass was fresher after the snow, so he caught a fish the size of a palm, and then put the hook into the river.

In the blink of an eye, there was a figure beside me.

Looking at this figure again, it looks a little familiar.

"Huh? Your Majesty? Zhang Yang was surprised.

Without waiting for him to get up and salute, Li Shimin sat down and asked, "You are leisurely and elegant, I really envy you." ”

Then there was a table and a stove beside him, and a small kettle was placed on the stove, and the water was already boiling.

What a pleasant life.

"I also want to live like this for a few years, and I don't have to worry about the affairs of the court in the future." Li Shimin picked up the kettle, brewed a bowl of tea by himself, and just put down the tea bowl as soon as he remembered the troubles of the court, and the tea at the moment was a little hot.

Li Shimin said again: "I also thought that when I get old one day, I will also find a quiet place to spend the rest of my life in peace, and this Lishan is not bad." ”

Zhang Yang sighed helplessly, "When Your Majesty is old, maybe I'll be old too." ”

The cold wind blew across the riverside, and the eunuch who followed on the side whispered: "Your Majesty, do you need to send craftsmen to build a palace in Lishan?" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "The house that Qingque gave me to repair is enough, and it is good for me to live with the villagers like my father." ”

talked about the things of his old age, and he also wanted to come to Lishan to retire, Li Shimin looked at Zhang Yang's face was not very good, and said: "Why, don't you welcome me to come to Lishan?" ”

Zhang Yang frowned and said, "When Your Majesty and I are older, it's not bad to drink wine and eat meat together." ”

I all know that the relationship between His Majesty and Zhang Yang is not good, and if he retires in Lishan in the future, he may continue to quarrel.

"I read your recital, do you want me to give Lantian County land convenience?"

"I plan to open a farm, but due to the drawbacks of the aquaculture industry, I will not expand the breeding at the moment, at most it will only be implemented in Lantian County, and the aquaculture industry needs to be controlled."

"You also said that in order to increase the diversity of crops in Guanzhong, you need the DPRK and China to give relevant files and cooperate with the counties?"

Zhang Yang nodded.

Li Shimin said again: "You also gave me a kind of military ration called steamed buns?" ”

There is a record of steamed bread in the classic cake fu, but the steamed bread at that time was called mantou, and the origin is now unclear.

Rice and noodles-related food, Guanzhong is mostly called steamed cakes, and the steamed buns that Li Yue unintentionally made are failures in making cakes.

It's also good to have one more kind of food, and it's easier to eat when it's full.

The army was on the march, and sometimes they relied on a naan cake for three or five days.

Once the bread has been stored for a long time, it is so hard that it can't be bitten at all, and it even has to be held in the mouth for a long time and melted with its own saliva.

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "A kind of food that I accidentally discovered." ”

"You're really still very suitable for a position in Taifu Temple." Li Shimin was very glad with this decision, and became more and more satisfied with his wise decision, and he said: "Now the court and the central government are quarreling over the power of the Metropolitan Protectorate, which was rebuilt by your Ministry of Rites, and you are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, I hope you can also mention a sentence or two." ”

Zhang Yang held his chin in his hand, staring at the calm water, the knots could not appear in this era, and he wanted to strangle the knots in the early stage of the bud.

Li Shimin has always carried out the policy of strengthening the centralization of power in weak localities.

This approach was correct, at least in the feudal period, and it allowed power to be stable and local people not to be in trouble.

It is said that it is a bit of a punishment, and in the eyes of the emperor, any local official with soldiers and horses may become a thief.

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "The minister has been neglecting political affairs for a long time, and it is not the same as it was back then, so why should Your Majesty be embarrassed." ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "You can speak freely, just talk about it, don't care about other people's opinions, even if it is a sentence from an ordinary villager, if it is reasonable, I will agree." ”

"Well, so the minister said, first of all, the saints are all killed by heaven."

The atmosphere was quiet for a long time, and Li Shimin was also silent for a long time, thinking about whether this sentence had a deep meaning, and then thinking about it, it seemed that this kid said it casually.

"I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing." Zhang Yang smiled embarrassedly and said: "First of all, the Metropolitan Protectorate was indeed rebuilt by the Ministry of Rites, but the Metropolitan Protectorate rebuilt by the Ministry of Rites has also been trying to assimilate many small countries outside the Guan, so Wenchen is necessary. ”

Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "You also think that the capital protection mansion should be dominated by Wenchen." ”

Outside the Guanzhong is not as good as Guanzhong, in Guanzhong, the local soldiers and horses can not be subject to the jurisdiction of the local government, and the military power and the rule of officials are irrelevant to each other, this practice is very good, if the literati have the military power, then there is a big risk.

Under Li Shimin's policy, the literati govern and the military guards the town, which is a simple and cost-saving structure, which is very suitable for the current situation.

Of course, all this is under the current feudal dynasty conditions, which is a better choice, and the security must be maintained, but the economic development is slow.

However, under the condition that 35,000 people in a state capital can overthrow a county government if they take up a stick and rebel, it is more reliable to have a local government office.

This is determined by the conditions of public order, after all, one person with a knife cannot resist the siege of hundreds of people.

The conditions determine the status quo, and the status quo determines the choice of the emperor, and it is also necessary for the Wei Mansion to be transformed into the Zhechong Mansion.

Li Shimin is a great general, and he understands the danger of using soldiers.

The literati in charge of the army will not seem safer, but more dangerous, who makes the emperor of the world who has ambition and some ability would rather be the seed of the world.

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "I think, literati and military generals can go to the Duhu Mansion, we have a lot of food in the Anxi Duhu Mansion, and we are still hoarding it, and one Duhu Mansion can't eat four or five meals per person every day." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I heard that there is a monk named Xuanzang who has gained weight after eating in the Anxi Duhu Mansion. ”

The words were still not on point, Li Shimin was very dissatisfied with Zhang Yang's attitude, so he sighed, "Qingque asked people to bring a message to the court again, saying that his refined copper is not enough." ”

"Is Your Majesty really trying to blackmail me?" Zhang Yang gritted his teeth.

"I understand that the construction and technology of Lishan are all for people's livelihood, and your ambition is also to become rich and strong."

The Emperor Khan does not achieve the goal, but also makes the means, to put it lightly, the intentions are sinister, the resources of Lishan can not be stuck in the hands of the emperor, and the development in the future needs to have its own resource channels.

Zhang Yang took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl heavily, thought about it for a while, and didn't bother to lift the fishing rod when he saw that the fish had bitten the hook, and his original good mood was now gone.

"I hope that the Tang Dynasty will be rich and strong more than you, and only when the society is rich and strong, can I spend my old age with peace of mind."

Li Shimin's words paused, and then said: "Do you remember the Japanese monk at the beginning? He was already crazy, completely crazy, Chu Suiliang also served as the Chang'an Order, he asked him to send him to the Wa Kingdom, but one night, he fell into the field, he had already drunk, buried his face in the field and suffocated himself to death. ”

The words were not loud, but there were warnings and threats everywhere in the words.

Zhang Yang's expression perked up, and he whispered: "I have no experience in this area, but since both the civil and military sides are not trusted, you can find a trustworthy and more neutral authority in the court. ”

Li Shimin frowned and thought for a moment, "Your idea is very good, I can let the people in the court discuss it." ”

Looking at this kid's absent-minded appearance again, it seems that this is a very light thing for him, and it involves the affairs of the family and the country, how can he have such an attitude.

How much of his stomach is still up to the table?

Zhang Yang looked at the river intently, thinking to himself why didn't this emperor leave, and didn't let him fish well?

The two of them were silent by the river for a long time.

After a long time, seeing Li Shimin's hand fall on his shoulder, Zhang Yang said again: "A little foolishness, let Your Majesty smile." ”

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "I have thought that you should write more concerts, four chapters a month is still too little, if you have a strategy for governing the country, you should put forward more in the future, whether it is right or wrong, if it is beneficial to the community, I will make a decision." ”

"I asked His Majesty and the courtiers to get closer to the masses and build a bridge between the masses and the court, but it seems that the DPRK and China have not made effective measures."

"This matter ......"

Li Shimin's words paused, "I'm still thinking about it." ”

Not to mention that the power of the ministers is given by the king, and it is the duty of the courtiers to use the power for the people, on the side of the masses, they feel that the royal family and the court are too far away from them.

If all the countrymen were talking about the government, would the emperor be happy?

In the end, it depends on how big an emperor's mind is, weigh the pros and cons of this matter, if the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, the emperor will not make any moves on this matter.

Knowing that the progress of this matter may be very slow, even if it is true, there is only a suggestion box in the East Palace, and it has been more than two years...... I haven't been to Chang'an City, and I don't know if the suggestion box is still there.

Zhang Yang once again exhorted: "Your Majesty, the masses are the foundation of society, we must not be too far away from the masses, but we must go to the masses personally......

The purpose of coming to Lishan was also achieved, and Li Shimin didn't want to listen to his chatter anymore, so he left.

Zhang Yang was still sitting in place, and there were some things that the emperor should say or say, and he would persuade as much as he could.

It is good for Tian Khan to speak widely, but he cannot ignore the voices of the masses.

The milk emperor is a very hard thing, and chasing his milk is a thankless thing, who makes himself believe in the light and pursue the light.

The position cannot be changed, firm in one's own heart, and the spirit of Haoran will last forever.

The Tang Dynasty was rich and powerful, and the powerful dynasty collapsed.

Datang has to be good.

Lifting the rod and re-attaching the bait to the hook, Zhang Yang continued fishing.

Li Shimin, who returned to the palace, took out the words spoken by Zhang Yang in Lishan and talked to the ministers in the Ganlu Palace.

So much so that there was another quarrel in the Taiji Hall.

Afterwards, Gao Shilian learned the news that the civil and military sides of the court and China reached a consensus after a group fight in the Ganlu Palace, and it was difficult to calculate how many times they fought in private.

The court and the central government were still reluctant to let the Imperial Observatory supervise the Imperial Palace, because from the perspective of the Imperial Historical Observatory, those imperial histories were of course unanimous to the outside world, but they also had their own backgrounds in their respective positions.

Li Shimin also vetoed the resolution to let the Yushitai supervise.

Today, the eldest grandson Wuji still came to visit Gao Shilian, his uncle has left the court, and the grace of nurturing and teaching, the reward should still be repaid.

Handing over a precious medicinal herb and handing it to the servants here, the eldest grandson Wuji sat down and said, "Uncle, Your Majesty did not let the Imperial Observatory supervise the Imperial Protectorate. ”

Gao Shilian was a little surprised, "I thought this resolution was pretty good." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said: "At first, my nephew also thought it was good, but now I thought that there were a few people in the Yushitai who were recommended by Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, so the generals couldn't believe it." ”
