The most important achievement in the sixth year of Emperor Yuanzhen of the Tang Dynasty is certainly not the above. Needless to say, it must be the victory over Goguryeo. No one can deny this.
The battle to conquer Goguryeo was no less than the battle to found the Tang Dynasty, it could even be said to be even greater.
Because since the Han Dynasty, successive dynasties have repeatedly conquered the Goguryeo regime, which was mainly established by the Fuyu tribes, and made countless gains, but they still could not cut off its roots. Once the army retreated, it would revive again.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, due to civil strife in the Central Plains, Goguryeo had no time to take care of itself. Goguryeo took advantage of the trend and grew stronger. Finally, in the Sui Dynasty, with the support of the Turks, its power expanded greatly and became the most important source of border troubles for the Central Plains dynasty besides the Turks.
When Yang Guang first conquered Goguryeo, the reason was actually not caused by Yang Guang's willful actions. Goguryeo did pose a real threat to the former Sui Dynasty to a certain extent.
But no matter how fast things change, the Tang Dynasty has completed a great achievement that the Sui Dynasty and even other dynasties have never completed. It is a great achievement that deserves a special mention and can leave a strong mark on the history of Qing Dynasty.
But what the people want to hear most is that the former soldiers of the army relieved everyone's bad mood and avenged the bloody vengeance of the people and soldiers who died in the expedition to Liaodong.
There is nothing better than this, with the whole country rejoicing together.
So at this good time, this year's upcoming Shangyuan Festival is completely different from the previous two years. Even if we can't build a ten-mile-long platform and celebrate it grandly like Yang Guang did in those years, there must be a new atmosphere.
become.
These all need to be managed by the provincial government...
There is also the follow-up matters after the First World War in Goguryeo. The government and the central government also need to come up with regulations as soon as possible. Forget it in the winter, but when spring comes next year and the armies start to turn around, government orders need to keep up.
For example, the issue of rewards for meritorious servicemen, unfinished tasks such as annihilating the remaining enemies in Goguryeo, and administrative divisions must also be addressed.
Wait, wait, etc., so although the war is basically over, for everyone in the Tang Dynasty, it is far from the time when everything will be fine.
Whether it is a prosperous empire or a declining dynasty, there are always things that cannot be done, but everyone has a completely different mentality when doing things.
…………
After entering the provincial office, I entered my office. Because I came early, the two colleagues who were on duty today hadn't arrived yet.
Chu Suiliang was not busy with official duties. He first asked someone to boil two pots of tea soup. He sat down and drank two sips of the tea soup to drive away the coldness in his body and calm down his energy before starting to work.
Although Niangen is a little more leisurely, there are many chapters sent from other provinces. The ones at the top are for major events. The first thing to do is to conduct the first review, give opinions, sign and then send them to the general office.
If you always wait at the desk, you have completed your job.
The other thing is to review the returned chapter again. If it is correct, it can be sent to other provinces.
The positions given to them are just like this, with little power and responsibility, and little opportunity to speak. Some people from other provinces sometimes call them Cheng Qi Lang or Review Lang, which is quite contemptuous, and that's why.
Having high officials but little power is a true reflection of the position given to people nowadays.
But if you really think that a civil servant can do the job, you are completely wrong, because you will have the opportunity to accompany the king in the work. When you accompany the emperor, you will have the opportunity to make suggestions. This is the middle-level position in other provinces.
A huge advantage that officials cannot have.
And the other thing is that secrets are often involved in the affairs. The chapters sent from all over the world have to pass through here before they can go to the Tai Chi Hall for the emperor to see.
After staying in this position for a few years, you will gain insights that are unmatched by officials in other ordinary positions.
Therefore, Chu Suiliang knew that if he wanted to make a difference in the future, he would have to give him a good starting point. Compared with when he was under Li Yuan's rule, there was no definite situation where he would be inside today and outside tomorrow. Now,
This is called a true official term.
He cherishes this opportunity very much, so he works conscientiously and does not dare to slack off in the slightest, lest he make any mistakes.
…………
The chapter he is holding now was sent by the Ministry of Finance and was submitted by the Ministry of Revenue.
Most people in the Household Department like to play with numbers, and their contributions are indeed included in each number. But if you have never been in contact with the Household Department, or have no experience in the local area, you will often be dizzy by this chapter of the Household Department.
, do not distinguish between true and false.
Chu Suiliang has been here for more than a year. Everyone knows that he has served in the local government and has rich official qualifications, so most of the chapters from the Ministry of Revenue will be sent to him.
At this time, Chu Suiliang was reading attentively. This chapter talked about this year's household registration statistics and the autumn harvest. The crooked figures in the article made Chu Suiliang's conscience twitch, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Weird figures flowed out from the palace, and no one dared to make irresponsible remarks.
Chu Suiliang also studied it for a while, but it wasn't that he didn't recognize it, it was just that he was used to it and always felt a little uncomfortable.
However, what is said in this chapter is very exciting. The household registration this year has increased a lot, and the grain output should have increased by 30% compared with last year. According to what is said in this chapter, it will be easy to make up for the losses caused by this year's war.
Chu Suiliang understood what all this meant. The achievements of several years were all due to this. The Tang Dynasty's national strength was rapidly recovering. This year's two wars in the east and west were very costly. In addition to bridge repairs and road repairs, the national treasury was very large.
emptiness.
But this year's autumn grains have been put into storage one after another, so these are no longer a problem. So in two years, what's the point of just being a Turk?
Chu Suiliang looked at it carefully twice more, and sighed to himself with unfinished thoughts. He came back a little late. How many decisions had he missed? What a pity...
…………
This kind of chapter asking for credit is relatively easy. There is no need to give any opinions. He just found a typo, circled it and corrected it. He signed his name and put it aside.
Just as he was about to continue, there was a sound of footsteps and a person rushed in with a cold air. Chu Suiliang looked up and saw that it was his colleague Xu Zhi.
When he stood up and wanted to say hello, he saw Xu Zhi's expression was solemn, but he changed his words and said, "Brother Xu, what's going on? Is there something wrong?"
Xu Zhi stamped his feet, shivered twice, and without taking off his outer cloak, he said hastily: "Brother Chu is sitting peacefully, it seems he didn't hear... Shizhong Feng was seriously ill last night, and His Majesty left the palace late at night.
Visiting, it seems that Feng Gong is seriously ill."
Chu Suiliang was shocked, "How could this be? It was fine yesterday..."
Xu Zhi shook his head, "Who says it's not...but no matter what, it seems that we all have to discuss today to see if we should go to the Duke Feng's Mansion to visit."
"That's natural..."
Chu Suiliang agreed, but he calmed down in his heart and began to think hard. Feng Deyi was not someone else. He was a close relative of Li Yuan. He didn't know how he manipulated him. He was trusted by the emperor not long after he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
He was entrusted with great power, and later he was promoted to Shizhong, in charge of all affairs of the family.
This is not something that ordinary people can do. The people sitting in Lingyan Pavilion are either old people from Jinyang or relatives of the emperor like Li Jing and Pharmacist Li.
Feng Deyi is one of the rare exceptions, and the one who can compare with him is King Wu Li Fuwei.
Chu Suiliang counted Feng Lun's achievements in detail in his heart. One was that he had served as the general leader for several years. He was clean and honest inside and outside, and he was honest and honest. This person had a bad reputation before, but since returning to the Tang Dynasty, he has become a famous minister...
The counselor is at your Majesty's side and has made several good suggestions. Whether it is to pacify the world or the current situation, this person has made indispensable contributions. In terms of talent, he is enough to compete with Wen Yanbo, Xiao Shiwen and others.
Once he dies... and the coffin is sealed, judging from His Majesty's tolerance towards his ministers, the evaluation given by the imperial court will definitely not be low.
Well, Chu Suiliang and Feng Deyi have no grievances, and they don’t mean to curse each other. It’s just that Feng Deyi is old and has not been in good health in the past two years. Now looking at Xu Zhiyan’s confident appearance, it’s very strange
The condition may be severe.
As a result, the outcome for Menxia Province is hard to say.
Moreover, Xu Zhi is from Henan and is a guest of the eldest grandson. Even though he has a heavy face, as if he is mourning his heir, he is probably already happy in his heart. Otherwise, how could he be so excited if he is such a stable person?
Chu Suiliang's thoughts suddenly turned and he immediately showed off his acting skills and agreed with Xu Zhi in a panic, but deep down in his heart, he didn't want his eldest son, Shunde, to be in charge.
…………
The news that Feng Deyi was seriously ill spread like the wind among the people and outside the court. This was not surprising. Feng Deyi was one of the three prime ministers who founded the Tang Dynasty. Once he became seriously ill, it affected the hearts of both the government and the public.
Early in the morning, in the Tai Chi Hall, Li Po was sitting there with a tired look on his face. He hadn't slept for half the night. He had just had a hasty breakfast and was obviously not full of energy.
Feng Deyi's health has been deteriorating day by day in the past two years. Li Po has noticed it and made some preparations in advance. However, Feng Deyi's illness was too sudden, which made people feel unprepared.
Thinking of this, Li Po couldn't help but sigh to himself, he was still soft-hearted. Last year or even the year before, Feng Deyi should have been allowed to step down. It would have been better than falling ill in office like this.
That was the case when Emperor Puwuyi died of illness while serving as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs...
…………
Feng Deyi was seriously ill this time. When Li Po left in the middle of the night, Feng Deyi was already unconscious. After diagnosis and treatment, several imperial doctors looked at each other, and no one dared to speak first in front of him.
The seriousness of the condition is evident.
Li Po felt very uncomfortable, but as a king, he still had to think about the future, which made him feel very irritable.
Especially when Feng Deyi's wife Yang told him in tears that night that Feng Deyi had had a few drinks when he returned to his mansion recently, saying that he could live to hear the news about the destruction of Goguryeo, which made him feel so happy...
This reminded Li Po of all the interactions between the emperor and his ministers over the years, and he couldn't help but feel a little more depressed.
