When the fireworks ended, the tranquility on Lishan Mountain returned, and soon Li Tai, Li Yuan, and Li Xiaogong also came with a group of family members.

Aunt Yang prepared a table of meals.

Li Yuan stroked his beard and said: "Yue'er, you are the eldest daughter of Lishan, and you are the main family of Lishan, so Lao Yu and others naturally want to visit you." ”

Li Yue helped the Emperor Taishang and whispered, "Grandpa Huang, how is your health lately?" ”

Li Yuan snorted and said, "It's still the same." ”

The old man sat on the main seat of the dining table, put his cane aside, and his old face was still a little tired, "People are old, and it is not strange when I will enter the ground." ”

Li Yue said in a low voice: "You have to live a few more years." ”

"Hmm." Li Yuan nodded slowly, "The old man's body was only raised in Lishan, so let's live for two more years." ”

There are so many things happening in the Heavenly Family, and Li Yuan can control the emperor.

Zhang Yang sighed and poured a bowl of tea for his old man, "It's cold, you always drink some hot tea to ward off the cold." ”

Li Yuan looked at the couple sitting on both sides of him, and said in a low voice, "Okay, good." ”

The current Tian Khan is suspicious, especially after experiencing something like Qizhou, not to mention that Li Shimin's ambitions began to swell with the advent of firearms.

Waiting for everyone and the children to sit down, the dinner party on the mountain has begun.

Li Yuan likes children very much, he is holding Xiao Sanqiu, surrounded by Xiao Qingqing and Xinxin'an.

Even in this cold winter, the water of Huaqing Pond is still flowing, and when the hot spring water flows down, there is still a trace of hot air coming out.

The emperor was old, and he fell asleep unconsciously holding the child.

Until Lee Tae and Lee Hyo-gong are ready to leave.

Xiao Sanqiu pulled his beard, which made Li Yuan wake up, he opened his eyes in a daze, looked at Li Xiaogong, Zhang Yang and Li Tai in front of him, and said a little confusedly: "It's not dawn yet?" ”

Li Tai said in a low voice: "Grandpa Huang, it's almost time." ”

"Oh, it's in Lishan, it's in Lishan, and today is Chinese New Year's Eve."

Li Yuan was a little hindsight.

Looking at the emperor's grandfather's trance-like appearance, Li Yue's heart seemed to be stung by something.

Li Tai and Li Xiaogong helped the emperor's grandfather down the mountain.

The couple stood at the top of the hill and let Xiao Qingqing walk in front with a lantern until they walked down the hill until the house of the emperor grandfather was lit with candles.

Li Yue retracted his gaze with confidence, "I hope that Grandpa Huang's body can always be well." ”

Zhang Yang took her hand and said in a low voice, "I really hope he can live a few more years." ”

Li Yuan is already old, seventy-six years old, and now there are signs of forgetting what is in front of him.

Xiao Qingqing came back, she ran into the house trembling, and the two sides approached the stove to keep warm.

In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, the emperor promulgated a decree to soothe the people to be quiet, persuade agriculture and mulberry, lightly punish the meager endowment, and prepare for disaster relief and famine as the basic purpose.

Datang's basic strategy is still to rest with the people.

Zheng Gong was already sixty years old, and Zhang Yang wrote a letter again, hoping that his old man could retire from the court.

The letter was sent, but there was no response for a long time.

In addition to all parts of Guanzhong, there are still braised gangs in Chang'an City, and it is easy to get some news.

Zhang Yang soon learned that Wei Zheng's medication had been used recently.

Looking at the medicinal materials on the prescription, the medicinal materials taken by Zheng Gong were mainly qi nourishing and nourishing yuan.

It seems that they are all good tonics, and in their old age, Zheng Gong's physical strength and mental strength are no longer what they used to be.

There is a trace of expectation for Zheng Gong's retreat in his heart.

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "I hope he can figure it out and retire from the court." ”

Li Yue said again: "Gong Zheng is concerned about state affairs, and he will not agree easily." ”

Zheng Gong's reply came, the letter was full of his worries about His Majesty and Sheji, and he also said the policy he proposed when he was in the East Palace.

At that time, a suggestion box was placed outside the East Palace, but this suggestion box has been abandoned for many years.

Now Zheng Gong has brought up the old matter again.

Zhang Yang wrote out the intention of the suggestion box, as well as the causes and reasons for being abandoned, and sent a letter to Zheng Gong.

The next day, Zheng Gong wrote again.

This year, before the opening of the dynasty, the Hou of Lishan County and Zheng Gong exchanged several letters.

Zhang Yang wrote in the letter that Lishan's repeated resistance to the decree and the emperor's failure to master so many firearms could not prove Lishan's sincerity?

Zheng Gong replied with another letter, there are many things in the court that need someone to watch Your Majesty, the eldest grandson is not right, and Fang Xuanling is not good, only he can.

Zhang Yang looked at himself in the letter and rubbed his brows in distress.

Li Yue said in a low voice: "Gong Zheng has always been like this. ”

Zhang Yang still wrote a reply, writing out his worries about Zheng Gong, health is the first place, if you can't take care of your body, how can you talk about the society.

The letter was sent out again, but this time the letter was sent to the past, but Zheng Gong did not reply.

Zhang Yang was so angry that he walked back and forth at the entrance of the village.

Li Xiaogong ate the fried pumpkin seeds and said in a low voice: "There are always such people in this world who will never let go of what they are doing, and you can't persuade him." ”

Zhang Yang bowed his head and said: "His old man is really unreasonable." ”

Li Xiaogong smacked his lips and said, "If he knew the world, he wouldn't have pointed at His Majesty's nose and scolded." ”

There will always be such people who are stubbornly endearing and hold on to their lifelong beliefs.

On this day, Zhang Yang wrote a line of words, "If there is love in the sky, the sky will be old." ”

This is one of the lines in Lishan's poems, Zhang Yang took out the sky alone if the sky is lovely.

In Chang'an City, in the palace, Li Shimin learned of Zhang Yang's idea of persuading Zheng Gong to retreat several times, and looked at this pair ......of words and said: "If there is love in the sky, the sky will be old."

The emperor stood up and whispered, "Is he saying that I am ruthless, or is he saying that the heavens are ruthless?" What presumptuous! ”

The laughter of the children came from outside the hall, it was the princes and princesses playing.

In the words of the palace, these princes and princesses are used to being in Lishanye, and their behavior in the palace has begun to be presumptuous.

But His Majesty allowed them to be presumptuous, even when they were reviewing the chapters, they were allowed to play in the palace, they studied art in Lishan, and they went for several years, and they stayed in the palace every year when they came back.

Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "Does Lishan have any other actions recently?" ”

The little eunuch said in a low voice: "Back to Your Majesty, I heard that Lishan has sent many doctors to Shanxi recently. ”

"The healers of Lishan go to Shanxi?"

"That's true."

There are many doctors in the medical hall in Lishan, and most of these doctors are from all over the Central Plains, because of Sun Simiao's name as a miracle doctor.

After screening again and again, Lishan already has a good doctor.

These doctors work as a team.

Ordinary doctors don't have this way of doing things.

Li Shimin frowned and said, "How many people did Lishan send?" ”

The eunuch replied: "A total of forty-five doctors, three teams, and many villagers were also brought there, saying that they had found the clues of the epidemic in Shanxi. ”

"How come I've never heard of it?"

The little eunuch bowed and did not dare to squeak.

Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "Spread the text of Cen here." ”

"Whoa."

It was originally a retreat from the middle of the dynasty, and not long after Chinese New Year's Eve, Cen Wen was still dealing with relatives at home.

It was noon when we came to the temple of manna.

Li Shimin's eyes looked at the reports of Shanxi over the years, Shanxi Taiyuan was the place where the Tang Dynasty raised troops back then, and the DPRK and China have always attached great importance to all parts of Taiyuan.

When he saw Cen Wenwen, he asked, "I heard that there is an epidemic in Shanxi, why didn't all the counties in Shanxi report the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, there are indeed rumors of epidemics in the various rumors coming and going to Chang'an, but ......"

Cen Wenwen first saluted, and then said: "The state governments hope to suppress this matter, but to deal with the epidemic with the counties, and if this matter can be eliminated, there is no need to report it." ”

Li Shimin patted the case and said: "They dare to hide it from me like this? ”

Cen Wenwen also said: "Your Majesty, since Zhenguan, there have been epidemics in various places to discuss Your Majesty, and in order to prevent this matter from being known by more people, they will hide it and not report it, for fear that some people will talk about it, and some people will make trouble, involving the career of all officials in the four counties and 26 counties of Shanxi for half their lives, and they naturally dare not easily report this matter to the DPRK and the Central Committee." ”

"And now that the epidemic can be controlled, they naturally hope that they can cover up this matter in the counties and counties, and the ministers have not seen the report, and they have only heard all kinds of rumors about it."

Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "Let Ma Zhou and Chu Suiliang go to Shanxi to inquire, and the Imperial Medical Department will send a doctor to inquire." ”

"Whoa."

After that, Cen Wenwen just turned around and came back.

Li Shimin looked displeased and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Cen Wenwen took out a piece of music, "When Zhang Yang served in the East Palace, he used a suggestion box during his tenure, and now the Hou and Zheng Gong of Lishan County have brought up this matter again. ”

Li Shimin asked people to hand over the music, opened it and looked at the contents.

Cen Wenwen continued: "Your Majesty, civil affairs will be like this, the power of the local state capital is still very large, and now that there is an epidemic in Shanxi, not to mention the slow response, perhaps under the repeated cover of the local government, the court and the central government have never even heard of it, if the epidemic expands, it will be too late." ”

After so many years of this incident, Zhang Yang often talks about the voice of the masses and the importance of the masses.

The construction of Lishan was also built with this as the main purpose.

Relatively speaking, Zhang Yang did not put the status of Lishan itself very high.

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "Should I implement this strategy?" ”

Cen Wenwen said: "Maybe at the beginning, there would be many obstacles to the implementation of this strategy, but now that this kind of thing has happened in Shanxi, the minister thinks that the time has come." ”

"Well, I will discuss this matter with the courtiers at the great court meeting."

Cen Wenwen bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this matter may not need to be discussed by the court, and the will will should be issued, because since the construction of Lishan, the opinions of the masses in various counties will be collected, and it has been quite effective, as long as it is implemented." ”

Thinking of Zhang Yang, Li Shimin drank tea, and there was a faint unwillingness in his heart.

There seems to be his voice echoing in my head, I told you a long time ago, you just don't listen, you don't not listen, you don't do it.

Now that you've repented, you've wanted to do it.

Li Shimin closed his eyes and took a deep breath, let the voice in his mind recede, and slowly spoke: "In the past, the time had not come, but now is the time. ”

"The minister and the minister also discussed this matter, and the minister also agreed."

"Well, I'll think about it."

"The minister retired."

Cen Wenwen went to prepare for the treatment of epidemics in various places, and he had to go through the Tai Medical Department to send people, the Ministry of Officials to arrange officials, the Ministry of War to arrange manpower, and the Ministry of Men to approve it.

If the DPRK and China want to do something, they need to pass various checkpoints.

This is not the first time, Cen Wenwen feels that it is very cumbersome in the court.

Just from Menxia Province, he gave all the instructions, ran to the various official residences as fast as he could, and pulled these officials out of Xiumu, which also took two days.

Seeing the officers and soldiers set off, Cen Wenwen walked back to the imperial city.

Li Zhi stood in the distance and looked at this Zhongcheng, other officials or groups of three or five, even Zhao Guogong's reputation in the court was not good, and there were three or five people around him.

But now Cen Wenwen is ranked in the middle of the court, and he is always alone in the court.

He stopped, and also noticed His Royal Highness King Jin who was staring at him.

"I've seen Zhongcheng."

"Your Highness."

Li Zhi stepped forward quickly, "Cen Zhongcheng doesn't seem to have any friends in the court. ”

Cen Wenwen smiled: "Yes." ”

"I don't know which one?"

"Shangshu Zuocheng is the Marquis of Lishan County, Zhang Yang."

Li Zhi said discouragedly: "My brother-in-law has not set foot in the court in Lishan for a long time. ”

Cen Wenwen explained: "I am friends with the county marquis, but we don't need to get together from time to time, and we can hear some news from each other to know our hearts. ”

"I just saw that Cen Zhongcheng's face is not good, do you have something on your mind?"

Cen Wenwen smiled awkwardly, "Xia Guan just thinks that the decree of the DPRK and China is very slow to be issued. ”

Li Zhi saluted and said, "I would like to hear about it." ”

"Starting from Your Majesty, I ordered to inquire about the epidemic in Shanxi, and it took two days to send people out, but it only took half a day for Lishan to send people out from getting the news."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "I heard about this matter, and I thought it was all a rumor. ”

Cen Wenwen continued: "In other words, it is Lishan, and at this moment in Shanxi, it has begun to take over the handling of the epidemic. ”

"It is a simple structure in Lishan, and the personnel are not huge and complex, and it is inevitable that the six departments of the three provinces of the DPRK and China will perform their own duties."

Cen Wenwen stroked his beard and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has quelled the rebellion in Qizhou, can there be a reward?" ”

"Originally, there was a reward, but I resigned."

Cen Wenwen nodded heavily and walked away quickly.

Gongsun Xiaoniang, who followed behind Li Zhi, said: "This Zhongcheng is always alone, and he seems to have something to do. ”

"There are a lot of things that can't be done in this court."

Li Zhi walked out of the imperial city as he spoke.

This time the rebellion in Qizhou was quelled, and Li Zhi got a person named Du Xingmin, so he asked Pei Xingjian to move him to Jingzhao Mansion, and since then he has become a person in Jingzhao Mansion.

Many things will not be known until after the opening of the court, and Li You, the king of Qi, was given death after all.

found Di Renjie in Hongwen Pavilion, and he had just come out, "King Qi is dead, I heard Xu Shilang say that this matter has made the clan talk a lot." ”

"What are they talking about?"

"Discuss Your Majesty's disposition of King Qi."

"What's there to talk about?"

Di Renjie said with emotion: "In the future, the people in the clan will tremble with His Majesty. ”

"If they don't have two hearts, why should they tremble in the face of their father." Li Zhi looked around, "What about Zhang Khan's people?" ”

Di Renjie said helplessly: "Zhang Cambodia has finally made meritorious contributions, and he is now talking to some people all day long about how brave he is in Qizhou." ”

When the two of them walked to a wine shop, they listened to Zhang Khan's words: "At the beginning, a certain family faced more than ten rebels alone, and there was no retreat. ”
