The two of them honestly bowed their heads and followed behind His Majesty like two little brothers.

Li Shimin looked at the wheat in the field and was in a good mood, and said: "I think that everything must be thorough, some people say that I am diligent, and some people say that I help the four seas and conquer the four provinces." ”

As he spoke, the emperor sighed again, he frowned and looked ahead, his hands were straightened on his back, "There are pharmacists in the Tang Dynasty, there are Zheng Gong, and there are Xuanling, but I am conscious...... The martial arts are not as good as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the rule of the treatise is not as good as the rule of Wenjing in the Han Dynasty. ”

Wei Zheng said loudly: "Your Majesty pays attention to politics and appoints ministers, which is more than the ancients, and is being sent by ministers and other ministers, and cannot be sent by His Majesty." ”

The secretary on the side wrote down this sentence on a dossier.

"If you talk about the four Yi guest clothes, there is nothing in the world, there is no one like the present in ancient times, as for the Wenjing, it is not enough to be virtuous."

Wei Zheng looked serious, saluted Li Shimin, and said: "If the monarch and the ministers are always unremitting, there will be a reason for the world to be uneasy." ”

Zhang Yang listened to Wei Zheng's words and sighed in his heart.

Li Shimin hurriedly supported Wei Zheng, and said with a touched face: "I don't want to, Zheng Gong's words, I remember them, and I should not slack off." ”

Wei Zheng bowed his head and said: "The ministers will not slack off. ”

After saying that, Zhang Yang felt that something was wrong and looked at Li Tai on the side.

The fat man took the first step and said: "Father, the son and the ministers must not slack off." ”

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing the emperor's gaze, Zhang Yang had no choice but to say: "Zheng Gong rest assured, if you dare to slack off, you should go to the Taiji Hall to scold Your Majesty." ”

The smile stiffened on his face, and Li Shimin was silent for a long time.

The secretary on the side also wrote down Zhang Yang's sentence, and one day turning over history, if someone sees this sentence, most of them will sneer......

Li Tai hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law's words are inappropriate, my father is not slacking off, and we should not be slacking off." ”

Zhang Yang nodded hurriedly, "What His Royal Highness King Wei said is that in fact, he has never slacked off in Xia, look at how good this Lishan is." ”

Junchen continued to walk, and Zhang Yang still followed.

Wei Zheng stroked his beard and said: "The old man has heard that the powerful people will take their wealth to their families when they are rewarded with food, and the Marquis of Lishan County is eager to distribute his money to everyone. ”

Li Shimin snorted coldly: "It is rumored that this kid wants to put gold on all parts of Lishan. ”

Wei Zheng said: "There are places that are barren and the powerful are rich, but I see that Lishan is so rich, and the families of the powerful are also so rich. ”

Zhang Yang sighed: "Gong Zheng, in fact, Lishan is very good, and Guanzhong is also a very beautiful place, I just hope it can be more beautiful." ”

"Well, good ambitions."

"I can make Lishan rich, I also want Guanzhong to be rich, and I want Datang to be rich."

Li Shimin chuckled and said: "There are always people who speak loudly, and you only have the land of Lishan at the moment, and you still talk about enriching the entire Guanzhong?" ”

"I want land, will Your Majesty give it?"

Hearing his brother-in-law's words, Li Tai was anxious, but he didn't have a needle and thread in his hand, if he had, he really wanted to sew his brother-in-law's mouth shut, how many years did he dare to talk to his father like this.

Li Shimin was not angry or annoyed, but his mood was indifferent, and his words were relaxed, "If you can add more snacks to the society, I can let you enter the Lingyan Pavilion and give you more land." ”

Zhang Yang said again: "Your Majesty, I have been working hard for Sheji." ”

Li Shimin's face was a little more displeased, and his eyes swept over his face, didn't he understand what I meant? Let you put more effort into the community, this kid is still so tactful.

If you really don't get in the oil and salt, it will be difficult to become a big thing.

As long as Zhang Yang swore allegiance to the Tang Dynasty in the Taiji Hall in the future, and was willing to dedicate everything to the Tang Dynasty, he would not still be just a county marquis, and it would be okay to enter the Lingyan Pavilion and be crowned the Duke of the Kingdom.

Does he really want to be a county marquis for the rest of his life?

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "Recently, Chang'an City has rebuilt the Sifang Pavilion, and in the future, the Tubo people, the people of the Western Regions, and the Turks can all settle in the Sifang Pavilion. ”

Li Tai said again: "My father's plan to unite and command the four Yi by fighting with Da Shi is a good strategy at the moment. ”

"Hmm." Li Shimin enjoyed Qingque's words, and said: "This was originally for Chu Suiliang to preside over the Sifang Pavilion. ”

"Originally?" Zhang Yang asked suspiciously.

"Later, Chu Suiliang was beaten by Li Yifu, and then Chu Suiliang's men were driven out of the Sifang Pavilion, and Li Yifu took the people from the Ministry of Rites down."

Zhang Yang and Li Tai were silent for a long time.

If you want to say that the people of the Tang Dynasty are strong, they are indeed strong.

The courtiers in this court are also fierce, and the Ministry of Rites and the Zhongshu Province are fierce, and everyone knows it.

Li Yifu has not stopped since returning to Chang'an City from Goguryeo.

Now he drove Chu Suiliang out of the Sifang Pavilion, beat people up, and forcibly occupied the Sifang Pavilion.

Li Shimin said again: "You have lived in Lishan for a long time, I don't know the changes in the court, after the incident, Xu Jingzong also came to ask me for guilt, and also said that the envoys of various countries have always been received by the Ministry of Rites, and Chu Suiliang was influenced by Zhao Guogong and wanted to intervene in the affairs of the Sifang Pavilion." ”

"Xu Jingzong talked to me about his grievances, and at the same time scolded Chu Suiliang, Tang Shanzhi and others, I appreciate the strongman, and I also appreciate Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu They are not accommodating and dare to speak out."

"The matter of the Sifang Pavilion was that I didn't think about it properly before, and I didn't think about it when I made these things, thinking that the people of the Ministry of Rites couldn't suffer this grievance in vain, so I handed over the Sifang Pavilion to the Ministry of Rites to take care of, and according to Xu Jingzong's intentions, let Li Yifu support it."

If the Ministry of Rites swallowed this grievance like this, it would make His Majesty and the courtiers despise the Ministry of Rites.

To gain a foothold in the current court, you must first have courage, and secondly, you must be able to fight, and you must fight on the basis of reason.

Fights in the Taiji Hall are common, and it is inevitable to scold the mother in the last early dynasty.

In this court atmosphere, the arrogant environment creates the law of the jungle.

Now the court and the central government say that Xu Jingzong and his people will be repaid, and he is a person who cannot be bullied in vain.

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said, "Presumably, the King of Hejian County will also be relieved to hear this news." ”

Li Shimin sighed: "Don't you want to ask Chu Suiliang how he was beaten?" ”

"How's it going?"

"I asked Lu Zhaolin to see it, and said that he couldn't go down to the ground for ten days and a half months, and you brought it out from the Ministry of Rites, so why do the people in the Ministry of Rites do not know the importance of one by one."

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "They are all vicious and hateful temperaments, and it is inevitable that they can't control the severity of their actions." ”

On the side, Wei Zheng was still looking at the fields, which seemed to be a very sparse and ordinary thing to Zheng Gong.

Lishan wants to develop industry, but also to ensure the retention of fields, and the acres of land that should be there are still there.

Walking to the entrance of the village again, Li Shimin took Wei Zheng and planned to go to Weinan to take a look.

In the Zhenguan Dynasty, the relationship between Li Shimin and Wei Zheng was the most complicated among the monarchs and ministers.

The escort team drifted away, and Li Tai held on to a tree and his chest.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, is this uncomfortable?"

"Every time I listen to my brother-in-law talking to my father, my king feels that his heart is beating hard, and he asks his brother-in-law to pay attention to some proportions when he speaks in the future."

"His Royal Highness King Wei, I have already paid attention to proportion."

Li Tai stroked his chest and said, "But did Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu offend Zhongshu Province too much." ”

"Well, maybe."

Zhang Yang nodded.

Li Tai was still very worried, "If it is like this in the future, wouldn't the situation of the Ministry of Rites be even worse." ”

"The affairs of the Ministry of Rites have nothing to do with Lishan anymore." Zhang Yang used a pu fan to block the dazzling sunlight and walked back to Lishan.

In the afternoon, thunder rumbled in the sky and a heavy rain fell.

On Lishan Mountain, the family sat under the eaves, and Xiao Qingqing sat on the back of the bear, watching the rain fall from the eaves.

Zhang Yang helped his daughter-in-law correct the homework of her younger brothers and sisters.

"Father is here today?"

"Well, let's take a look at the autumn harvest preparations in Lishan, saying that I am going to Weinan again, and most of them are trapped in the rain at the moment."

Li Yue bowed his head and said: "This rain is really not at the right time. ”

"Well, after the rain, the wheat field will have to dry for a while, as long as it doesn't affect the harvest."

The rain keeps falling in Huaqing Pond, and the water in the pool is still clear, which is very pleasant to look at.

"Gao Yang's arithmetic skills still haven't improved." Zhang Yang sorted out the corrected homework and put it on the table.

"Let Lizhi teach her well."

The two aunts were washing their clothes, and Li Yue always felt that the aunt's gaze was strange recently.

It was a rainy day, and a fast horse came to Chang'an City in the rain, and someone said loudly: "Jiannan Road is urgent!" ”

Li Daoyan, the general guarding the city, confirmed the identity of the person who came, and let them enter the city.

But if there is an urgent report, he can ride a horse into the city, this person rode a horse to the Chengtian Gate, turned over and dismounted, and then sent a report into the imperial city in a hurry.

The urgent report to the imperial city caused a lot of discussions.

was sent directly to Zhongshu Province, and Fang Xuanling was still checking the summer harvest newspapers in various places.

Cen Wenwen hurriedly ran into Zhongshu Province in the rain with an urgent report, and he didn't care about being wet and sent the urgent report first, "Fang Xiang, the urgent report of Jiannan Road." ”

Since Zhenguan, the Central Plains has been divided into ten provinces, Jiannan Road is next to Tubo, and it is in Shu, and the south is Jiaozhou and Nanzhao.

Fang Xuanling opened the emergency report and looked at it.

Cen Wenwen had time to take off his coat, wiped his wet official hat and shivered again.

The little official on the side brought a stove, and Cen Wenwen sat down to warm up and dry his clothes.

Seeing that Fang Xiang was silent for a long time, Cen Wenwen asked with concern: "At first, Nanzhao asked for help several times, but I thought that this matter started two years ago. ”

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and nodded, "Is Your Majesty back?" ”

The little official replied: "Your Majesty is still checking the preparations for the autumn harvest in various places, and he will return to the palace in the evening." ”

The province of Zhongshu is very quiet, and only three or two small officials are quietly filing here.

The rest of the scribes had gone out to quarrel with the people of the Ministry of Rites, who had not yet returned.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, listening to the sound of raindrops falling on the roof, Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "King Nanzhao asked for help this time, does the Ministry of Rites know?" ”

Cen Wenwen replied: "Most of them don't know, King Nanzhao sent a letter asking for help to Panzhou in Jiannan Province, so he sent it to someone, and he didn't inform the Ministry of Rites during the period. ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "I think about it, the Ministry of Rites doesn't care about Nanzhao, and passes through the Ministry of Rites through the local state capital, so it is sent by the army urgently." ”

A group of bandits entered the Nanzhao territory and conquered the city in the Nanzhao territory, and their style was not like ordinary bandits.

This group of people is more like the style of the Zhongwei Mansion of the Tang Army.

Moreover, after the capture of a place, they will also treat the prisoners of war well, and let the locals continue to farm, providing them with military rations and baggage.

He also implemented Tuntian in Nanzhao, which was also the style of the generals of the Wei Palace.

From the beginning, the team of only a few dozen people has grown to thousands of people, and it is also to blame that Nanzhao is too weak.

was caught off guard by this team, and he also knows the art of war.

Now King Nanzhao is trapped in Yamato Castle.

Fang Xuanling said in a low voice: "Go and call Xu Jingzong." ”

Cen Wenwen said again: "Tang Shanzhi said that he wanted to seek justice for Chu Suiliang, and now he is leading people to quarrel with Xu Jingzong." ”

Fang Xuanling put down the emergency report and said, "Call them all." ”

"Whoa."

Cen Wenwen put on an undried coat and hurried away.

Not long after, there were discussions and shouts of scolding outside the province.

As soon as Xu Jingzong entered Zhongshu Province, he swore to the sky, "The conscience of heaven and earth, the war of Nanzhao has nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites." ”

Before the matter was said, Xu Jingzong swore first.

Fang Xuanling sighed: "King Nanzhao asked for help from Jiannan Dao, and wanted the soldiers and horses of the state capital of Shu to gallop to help. ”

This Nanzhao was developed by a tribe living near Yongchang County, the former hometown of the Han Dynasty.

After learning from the Han Dynasty, a small tribe slowly formed a kingdom and ruling structure.

However, Nanzhao is a small place, with many tribes, and civil strife has not stopped for many years.

The king of Nanzhao did not unify Nanzhao.

Xu Jingzong secretly thought in his heart that this matter could not be hidden after all.

According to the idea of the county marquis, Xu Jingzong also thought about the reason for this matter, Nanzhao needs to be unified, and there needs to be a person who can unify Nanzhao.

Relying on the territory and manpower of King Nanzhao alone, I don't know when I want him to dominate Nanzhao.

Tang Shanzhi was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face at this moment, and his official uniform was torn a few times, and he gritted his teeth in the face of Xu Jingzong, "Xu Jingzong!" At the beginning, the envoys of Nanzhao asked for help several times, why did your Ministry of Rites keep blocking it. ”

"Tang Shanzhi! This is a matter for the Ministry of Rites, and what does it have to do with you! Li Yifu stood up and said loudly.

"A certain family just missed." Tang Shanzhi was so anxious that he scolded angrily: "Come on! Don't think someone is scared of you! ”

The people from the Ministry of Rites and the people from Zhongshu Province quarreled again, both sides shouted and scolded, and seeing that they were about to do it again, Fang Xuanling patted the table.

Only then did everyone stop, Xu Jingzong replied: "At the beginning, the Ministry of Rites didn't know what the situation of Nanzhao was, and when the envoy of Nanzhao came to report, the Ministry of Rites also arranged for someone to inquire, and later learned that it was a group of bandits with dozens of people who made trouble, so they let Nanzhao arrange it himself. ”

Li Yifu also explained: "There is a year of back and forth news, and no one knows what will happen this year, so the Ministry of Rites did not act rashly." ”

"The one who attacked Nanzhao was none other than the Weifu people sent by the Ministry of Rites."

Xu Jingzong said in a deep voice: "The envoy of Nanzhao asked for help, the Ministry of Rites has reported to His Majesty, and the Zhongshu Province can inquire about it, our Ministry of Rites has nothing to do with the Wei Mansion, and I hope you don't suspect us." ”

Fang Xuan saw that everyone was deadlocked, and said discouragedly: "The old man will explain to His Majesty, and Xu Shangshu will also stay." (End of chapter)
