"Who is Li Chunfeng?"
The person on duty in the palace today is Yang Xu, the regular attendant of Sanqi, while Yan Shigu is giving lessons to the prince Li Yuan.
Of course, there are reasons for everyone's preference here. Li Po likes to use Yan Shigu to draft edicts and ask counselors in front of the palace. It is very easy to use.
After Li Bi took charge of the country, she mostly used Yang Xu as her assistant. It was not that she looked down upon Yan Shigu, who was the prince's teacher she personally selected after all, but that Yang Xu was an old minister of Jinyang and a descendant of the Yang family of Hongnong.
Ever since she learned about Li Po's life experience, she unconsciously had some feelings of closeness and trust towards the people of the Yang family in Hongnong.
Yang Xu's talent was mediocre, but he just took advantage of it.
At first, he still had a place in the palace of the Han Dynasty. After entering Chang'an, Li Po had more talents around him, and he tended to be marginalized in the province.
So he is still hesitating about transferring a governor or something, and it is estimated that even if he transfers to another country, it will be next year at least.
There is no doubt that he is one of the poorer ones among the Dragon ministers. His family background is so prominent and he once took charge of secrets in the Han Dynasty. However, now he is not able to achieve anything, which shows that his character and talents have improved.
All have problems.
Li Bi's use of him after supervising the country would not be of much help to his career, because the queen's time in supervising the country would not be too long.
……………………
However, Consultant Yang Xu's answers were quite satisfactory. The seals on the ground at Taichang Temple will be sorted out in the province.
Upon hearing the Queen's question, Yang Xu immediately replied: "Back to the Queen, Li Chunfeng is from Yong County, Qizhou. He is less than thirty years old. He once worked in the record office of the puppet king Li Shimin, and later went to Chang'an Academy as a professor.
It is said that he has studied arithmetic, calculations, and astrology intensively, and is half a master of He Dafu."
Li Bi said "Oh" without raising her head. She felt dizzy when she saw the memorial presented by Taichang Temple, and lost interest before finishing it.
Li Chunfeng used the name of Taichang Temple to criticize the errors in the calendar. She did not understand this, but she knew the importance of the calendar to the farming season and would not ignore it.
She was familiar with all departments in the DPRK and China, and she had some questions at that time.
The letter was submitted through Taichang Temple. It seems that he took a very complicated route and was able to deliver it to the emperor. This shows that what he said is very reasonable and not without purpose. Otherwise, it would not make sense to Duke Pi.
So she casually asked: "Why not submit it to the Taishi Bureau for review?"
Yang Xu replied: "Maybe it's because Taishi ordered Fu Renjun to fix the Wuyin Yuan Calendar, and he didn't like it when he met him?"
The casual knights around the emperor played this role, serving as advisors and counselors. It was easy to clear up the emperor's doubts and give people eye drops, so few people would be willing to offend them.
Li Bi understood immediately...
"It seems that the Taishi Bureau used to be called Taishi Cao or Taishi Jian? In ancient times, it should have been responsible for compiling history, right?"
"What the empress said is correct. In ancient times, the person in charge of compiling history and collecting books could be called Tai Shigong. Li Er, Sima Qian, etc. can all be called so.
After the end of the Han Dynasty, there were many changes. In the Sui Dynasty, the Taishi Cao was installed, and the Taishi Jian was changed to the Secretary Jian. However, it no longer had the power to compile history, and was responsible for compiling calendars, testing astronomy and other matters."
"I heard that Fu Renjun used to be a Taoist priest?"
Yang Xu laughed and said: "Fu Taishi worked as a Taoist priest when he was young. Later, he was recommended to Li Yuan by the former Taishi Ling Yu Jian and others, and then he joined the Taishi Bureau. He is now majoring in Wuyin Yuanli.
, it took several years to complete, and it was very accurate, eliminating the shortcomings of previous generations, and was highly praised by the courtiers.
Also, Li Chunfeng also joined the Taoist sect when he was young. The yin and yang calendar and even the magic are masters of Taoism. If they were not proficient in the learning of Lao and Zhuang, they would not be able to achieve anything in the calendar."
Li Bi gained some knowledge and nodded: "My subordinates have also read it, do you have any objections to this?"
Yang continued: "Your Majesty asked the wrong person. I don't understand this. I could have handed it over to the secretary for review. However, this matter concerns Mr. He... I think we should give him a face."
Li Bi smiled, habitually thinking about how her husband would deal with this matter, and then smiled and said: "Then leave it to Taichang Temple, the secretaries and supervisors to discuss it together, and ensure that the discussion is fair..."
The change of the calendar is definitely not a trivial matter, but for those who hold the imperial power, this matter does not need to be paid too much attention. Now Li Bi's mind is still focused on the scientific examination.
There were more and more memorials reported from local governments to the Central Government every day. In addition to briefly describing the situation of the scientific examination, there were also constant misunderstandings.
She was really right about what she said before. When the finals come at the end of the year, there will definitely be a lot more than in previous years...
……………………
Donglai County, thousands of miles away, is a different scene.
Prefect Yu Wenshiji was extremely busy.
The army has been gathering at the beach for many days.
The scientific examination was also held in the county town. No one came here to take the examination. On the day of the scientific examination, less than fifty people entered the liberal arts college, which was very desolate.
But the prefect Yuwen Shiji did not dare to ignore it. The news coming from Chang'an was how the imperial court attached great importance to the imperial examination. Yuwen Shiji did not hide it from everyone, so the officials in the county became nervous, and they had to report all the big and small things to the county.
I want a taller one to withstand thunder.
This made Yu Wenshiji also very big-headed.
Today was the day of the scientific examination, but he had to lead his people out of the city to meet an important "guest", King Wu Li Fuwei.
He has brought out all the senior officials in the county, and the newly arrived scholar Shihong, Chen Ling and others will also accompany him to welcome them.
Ten miles out of the city, we met on the left side of the road.
Yu Wenshiji looked around and groaned in his heart. Except for Wen Shihong and a few others, the rest were all Du Fuwei's old members, which made him quite suspicious. Du Fuwei had come to Donglai to gather his old members.
What puzzled him even more was that princes like Du Fuwei, who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, could leave the capital at will? Could they also lead troops in front of the formation? Could it be that all the people in the court were asleep?
What do you think, Your Majesty? Aren't you worried about letting the tiger go home?
A series of questions appeared in his mind, but there was no answer. He even had no idea how to receive the King of Wu.
Moreover, it had only been less than a month since everyone had gathered in Dongnai, but the food and grass supplies were already piled up in various warehouses, which shows that the imperial court attached great importance to it.
Five thousand elite troops came from Hebei, all of whom were subordinate to the Zuoyuwei Mansion, that is, the subordinates of Zuoyuwei General Wei Chikai.
When Yu Wenshiji was in Tiance Mansion, he knew that the King of Han established eight guard mansions in Jin, four cavalry guard mansions and four infantry guard mansions.
Most of General Wei Chikai's subordinates were infantry. They conquered cities and fortified villages and made great achievements in battles. However, the battle across the sea required infantry troops.
The remaining 5,000 people belong to the Jiangnan Navy, led by Wen Shihong and Chen Ling. It is estimated that most of the elite of the Tang Dynasty Navy have gathered at the Donglai Seaside.
There are not many sea-going ships in the Tang Dynasty. Wen Shihong's Jiangzuo navy first took a ship to Jiangdu, then met up with Chen Ling, and took a large ship to go to sea to reach the Donglai coast.
There is no need to doubt the fighting ability of these people. They are all people who struggled out of the war in the late Sui Dynasty. They have experienced all kinds of wars, big and small. They all look like eagles and wolves, which makes Yu Wenshiji extremely frightened.
They are not afraid of war, but they are afraid that there will be no war to fight...
Yuwen Shiji also went to the beach to take a look. The large ships floating on the sea were densely packed. Yuwen Shiji had never seen so many ships before.
After the army gathered in Donglai, they rested for a few days and then boarded the ship one after another for drills. Especially those soldiers from Hebei had to jump into the sea to practice swimming first. After boarding the ship, they had to cruise around the offshore to experience it.
The "fun" of sailing.
Within a few days, the faces of these Hebei landlubbers, the arrogant and brave generals who were looked down upon by no one, turned green. Some of them almost vomited bile after getting on the boat. Under the ridicule of some southerners, they could no longer play tricks.
What majesty.
This was a standard expedition. Although the number of people was small, the significance was extraordinary. If the expedition was successful, it would mean that the Tang Dynasty began to extend his sphere of influence outwards.
In addition, when the army arrived, they brought many craftsmen with them, and the speed of building docks accelerated. Now, two docks in Donglai that can dock sea ships have been completed, and two more are under construction.
This made Donglai a little more lively. Unlike the anger caused by Yang Guang's recruitment of civilian men when he conquered Liaodong, the army did not disturb the place and even made a lot of contributions to Donglai.
Both Yuwenshi and the prefect, as well as Miao Haichao, the county magistrate, saw this very clearly.
So many docks have been built, they should be of some use in the future, right? Whether it is an army going on an expedition or people coming from the sea, the chance of docking at Donglai is relatively high. What will it bring to Donglai? Miao Haichao obviously understands better than Yuwenshiji.
…
He planned to wait until this incident was over and discuss with Yuwen Shiji whether he could build a market or something like that on the seaside like in the south, and also do some sea business, which would be a huge profit and a good thing that would make everyone happy.
………………
Horse hooves lined the official road, and a team of hundreds of people gradually approached.
Wang Xiongdan, the captain of Donglai County, could not bear it any longer. He got on his horse and faced him.
When he got closer and took a look around, his face burst into smiles. The man in the lead was in high spirits. Isn't he his adoptive father? His eyes suddenly became moist. After dismounting, he hit his chest hard, and then
He bowed to the ground.
"My dear, welcome the king back."
Du Fuwei laughed loudly, urged his horse forward, turned over and dismounted, and picked up his adopted son, "Okay, okay, we haven't seen each other for more than a year, so you don't have to act like a girl, I won't make anyone laugh."
Wang Xiongdan stood up, wiped his face, and laughed, "When I heard that my foster father was coming, I didn't believe it was true. The emperor dared to let his foster father out..."
Du Fuwei opened his eyes and punched him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your Majesty treats me with great kindness. If you don't show respect in the future, I will kill you."
Wang Xiongdan shook his head indifferently, his strong body not moving at all, "Hey, what does the adoptive father say? The Supreme Lord is so big, we can't be sorry to him. With the adoptive father leading us, we will kill him."
