The Tang Palace is located in the center of the building complex. It was expanded on the basis of the original Zhao Palace. This was the original capital of the Zhao Kingdom, and Handan was moved there later. There are more than ten palaces in the Tang Palace.
The division of labor is clear and everything is available. According to the words of Lao Qin Mo, who is in charge of this project: What is available in Chang'an is available here, and what is not available in Chang'an is also available here.
Liu Chang then walked around the palace. This palace was not as luxurious as the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an, nor was it as flashy as the Liang Palace. The most important thing was that it was very practical. There was even a special martial arts hall where Liu Chang could practice swordsmanship.
You can also find people to fight, ride horses, practice riding and shooting, there are places dedicated to raising hounds, there are places to raise horses, there are people responsible for manufacturing... Anyway, everything is built according to Liu Chang's interests.
Liu Chang was very satisfied. Cao Shu came a few days earlier than Liu Chang, but at the moment she was busy with matters in the palace.
Originally, Liu Chang was not here, so this place was empty. As the owner of the palace, Cao Shu was responsible for arranging the attendants, maids, etc. Fortunately, there was Zhang Qing to assist her. Zhang Qing had participated in the placement of Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace.
He was very experienced in this matter, and soon the previously silent palace came to life, exuding a different kind of vitality just like its young owner.
Liu Chang was sitting on the bed disheveled, with a wine bottle and a large plate of meat beside him.
"Hahaha, this is really great!"
"I can do whatever I want, no one can control me anymore!"
"I want to sit on the couch eating meat and drinking wine! I just don't put on my clothes! Hahaha, who can control it?"
There is no Empress Lu waving her stick here. Our King of Tang has obviously let himself go completely. "Tomorrow I will start riding in the city and ride all the way to the outside of the city. Let's see who dares to stop! I will also bring everyone with me."
Riding the car, I will cook whoever doesn’t ride the car! By the way, I will also go to the wine shop. When I see a beautiful woman, I will come up to talk to me and see who dares..."
"Ahem."
Liu Chang thought of Cao Shu beside him and stopped quickly.
Cao Shu looked at the "promising" king in front of her with some helplessness. She deliberately kept a straight face and asked seriously: "The king had promised great ambitions at the beginning. Do you want to start enjoying it when you return to your own kingdom today?"
?Has the king forgotten his original ambition?"
"Shu, when I was in Chang'an, I was humiliated and couldn't do anything. There were restrictions everywhere. Now that I have returned to the Tang Dynasty, can't I still do whatever I want?"
Liu Chang said sadly: "You don't know...how many beatings I have received in these years!"
"I think my mother was beaten lightly..."
"Um??"
"My King, you are now the master of a country. You can no longer do whatever you want. What if An Lai learns from you?"
"I am his father, who can I learn from if he doesn't learn from him?"
"Your Majesty! Get dressed! Go eat in front of the eucalyptus!"
Liu Chang walked out of the inner hall proudly in his imperial robes. Along the way, the maids in the palace all bowed to him. Liu Chang walked all the way to the entrance of the palace. Someone immediately prepared a car. Liu Chang smiled and asked Zhang Buyi to come.
He drove out of the palace and started driving around Jinyang. Along the way, people came to pay their respects, and Liu Chang smiled and waved.
Liu Chang stood on the carriage and took a deep breath of fresh and free air. It felt good when no one was in charge of him! From now on, whatever I want to do, I can do it! No one can control me anymore.
I am completely free!!
Liu Chang smiled. Just when he was about to hold a racing competition outside the city, Ji Bu hurriedly found him.
"Your Majesty! Prime Minister Zhang is looking for you!"
"Oh, I'll go there later."
"Your Majesty, this is an important matter!"
Liu Chang had no choice but to return to the palace in a hurry. As soon as he returned to the palace, Liu Chang jumped up.
"What is all this?!"
Liu Chang pointed to the mountain of bamboo slips and cloth papers on the eucalyptus slips in front of him.
Zhang Cang said seriously: "Your Majesty, these are memorials sent from various places. These articles are about mulberry farming. The autumn harvest is about to happen. There are many things to prepare. These articles are exercises after the autumn harvest. All places have to start.
Train the people, and this is about the Xiongnu, this is sent by King Yuezhi, this is about city repairs...this is..."
Liu Chang stroked his chin, looked at the mountain of memorials in front of him, and asked, "How do you deal with these things when I'm not here?"
"I am here to read and approve the reply."
"Then why doesn't Master continue?"
"Now that the king has returned, how can I dare to make my own decisions?"
"Uh, no problem! These things will still be handled by Master from now on!"
Liu Chang waved his hand and completely delegated his authority.
Zhang Cang quit, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, how can this be done? Even if you want to give an order, your Majesty must read it first..."
"I believe in Master's talent!"
"No, your Majesty is a wise king! You cannot ignore it!"
The two declined each other. Zhang Cang held Liu Chang's hand tightly, fearing that the king would run away. The two gave way for a long time, but neither could convince the other. Liu Chang gritted his teeth and said helplessly: "Master, if
Please let me go and let me play, and I will find you three good-looking widows for you to take care of! Okay?"
Zhang Cang's expression was a little hesitant. After struggling for a long time, he still shook his head firmly.
"Your Majesty! Please review the memorial!"
Liu Chang stretched, yawned, moved his head and shoulders, and then looked at Zhang Cang, "Master... why not come here first today?"
"Your Majesty, you have just read three memorials, and there are still three hundred and sixty-one."
"ah!!!"
Liu Chang shouted sadly, then looked at Zhang Cang fiercely, with a very solemn expression on his face, and said: "Master, I feel that the current official positions in the Tang Dynasty are still a bit immature!"
"Oh? What does your Majesty mean?"
"How about changing the current system and dividing the country into three parts. One is responsible for checking the memorial, one is responsible for making decisions, and one is responsible for executing. Master, what do you think?"
"If that's the case... wouldn't the Prime Minister who is responsible for the execution be exhausted?"
"Then assign more subordinate officers, and assign one subordinate officer to take charge of each different field!"
Zhang Cang glanced at Liu Chang and said, "Your Majesty, you can actually review these memorials in two hours a day."
"Ahem, are you afraid of being tired?"
"I know you're not afraid of being tired, but of being in trouble."
"I am thinking about state affairs! It's okay now. When we start a war with the Xiongnu and expand our territory in the future, can I still do two things? Only by establishing a more complete official system can we better govern the Tang Dynasty!"
Liu Dayi said calmly, Zhang Cang nodded, "That's right."
"Then it's up to Master to take care of this matter. I still have to patrol various places, so I'll leave first!!"
Liu Chang left the inner hall as if fleeing. As soon as he reached the entrance of the palace, he saw Wang Ling coming here with great momentum.
"Father Zhong!"
Liu Chang smiled and met Wang Ling. Wang Ling bowed seriously and then asked, "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"
"Um...I want to go and see some places."
"This matter is not urgent. Your Majesty, I have important matters to discuss with your Majesty!"
"What's going on?"
"It's about the appointment and removal of officials. Among the officials appointed and removed last year, seven were incompetent and three people should have been promoted but were not..."
"What's going on...can we wait until the widow comes back to discuss it?"
"Government is the foundation of the country, how can we delay it?!"
Wang Ling stopped Liu Chang forcefully, and Liu Chang followed him back helplessly. Liu Chang supported his chin with his hand and listened to Wang Ling chattering about his opinions.
"You're right."
"That's how it should be."
"Um."
"good."
Seeing Liu Chang's appearance, Wang Ling was furious. He cursed: "We make decisions, but it is the officials who actually implement them. How can you be so perfunctory? Does your Majesty want to be a fatuous and incompetent king?"
"Hmm...ah..." Liu Chang nodded subconsciously, woke up in a hurry, and said with a smile: "I'm just a little tired after traveling for many days. Please don't mind. Just keep talking. I won't look down on you anymore."
Already."
Wang Ling spoke seriously again, and Chang Liu nodded with a smile on his face.
In today's Tang State, Zhang Cang and Wang Ling serve as left and right ministers respectively, and Wang Ling is obviously responsible for official affairs. Wang Ling said seriously: "Tomorrow, the king can hold a court meeting and meet all the ministers in the country.
The ministers will ask local officials to come to visit them in turn... and everyone in the Tang Dynasty, including Confucianists, Legalists, Mohists, and farmers, all need to be visited by the king, and a banquet can be held to entertain them...
.”
"The king also wants to meet with the generals of the army."
"Going to the school grounds..."
"After the establishment of Chinese studies in the Tang Dynasty, many people studied here. Your Majesty can visit them."
.......
Being the king was not as happy as Liu Chang thought. Everything was complicated. The ministers came one by one and kept coming to report to Liu Chang the situation in the country.
Even the itinerary for the next ten days or so has been arranged. Liu Chang felt a headache just thinking about it.
That evening, Liu Chang's family members and the wise men who followed him came to visit him.
They sat on both sides and looked at Liu Chang who looked depressed. Chao Cuo hurriedly asked: "Why does the king look a little depressed?"
Lu Lu glared at him, and then said: "If your Majesty has anything to worry about, you might as well tell the wise men!"
Liu Chang looked at them and said helplessly: "I want to go back to Chang'an."
Zhang Buyu shuddered and asked tremblingly: "Your Majesty, is it true?!"
"The King misses the Queen Mother!"
Zhao Ping hurriedly interrupted Zhang Buyi and said seriously.
Liu Chang shook his head and complained: "The state affairs are so busy... My father used to eat, drink and have fun all day long. Why do I have to sit in this hall for a whole day? I have been sitting here all day.
Listening to them talk about policies and local conditions, my ears are still ringing..."
Ji Bu said: "The king is naturally like this when he first arrives in the country. Once he has met the ministers and has been busy for more than ten days, he will not be so tired."
"well..."
Liu Chang sighed, but Fan Kang said displeasedly: "Your Majesty, what's so difficult about this? Can't we just leave it all to Prime Minister Zhang?"
Liu Chang glanced at him and said, "That person must be happy too!"
"I will visit him tomorrow with my sword in hand to see if he is willing!"
Fan Kang shouted.
Jia Yi looked at him with disdain and said, "Even your father wouldn't dare to be rude to my teacher, so who do you think you are?"
At this moment, Chao Cuo stood up in a hurry and said: "Your Majesty, we are busy with affairs because the ministers are not virtuous enough. I would like to write a letter and invite the sages from all over the country to come to the Tang Dynasty to assist King Zuo. In this way, he will no longer be
It makes the king feel troubled!"
"Oh, you just want to invite a group of Legalist hawks and dogs to turn Tang into the second violent Qin!"
Jia Yi cursed.
Liu Chang had no intention of intervening in the fight between the two at the moment. He shook his head and said, "Let's stay here for a few days. If it continues like this in the future, then I will go to the front line to fight the Huns."
"Okay, let's get down to business!"
Liu Chang looked at everyone seriously and said: "Now that we have returned to the Tang Dynasty, it is time for you to take up official positions."
"Luan Bu!"
"King!"
"I want to appoint you as a guard, command the guards, and entrust you with the task of guarding the palace. Can you do it?"
Luan Bu was shocked, and immediately stood up and said: "I obey your order! I will never let down the high expectations of the king!"
Although this guard holds the position of Jiuqing, he is always by the king's side. He cannot be held by anyone but a close confidant.
Liu Chang looked at Zhao Ping again and said: "Mr. Zhao, I want to ask you to be the governor of millet. You will be responsible for taxation, equalization, water transportation, allocating materials and all financial expenditures. Can you do it?"
Zhao Ping stood up hurriedly, "I obey your order!"
"Zhang Buyi, I want to appoint you as a court captain, to compile the number of prisons across the country, and to be in charge of matters related to prison edicts and revision of laws and regulations!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"
Zhang Buyi hurriedly stood up and thanked him, but Zhao Gong's face turned ugly. Asking Zhang Buyi to serve as a court captain? Let a rebel come to supervise, wouldn't he become a rebel by doing so?
"Ji Bu, I want to worship you as my doctor!"
"only!"
Jia Yi and Chao Cuo looked at Liu Chang with eager eyes, both looking forward to what official position the king would give them. Now they were the officials of Jiuqing. They finally had the opportunity to display their talents.
"Jia Yi... In this case, you can go to Gaodu and become a county magistrate."
"How...huh??"
Jia Yi was stunned, they were all Jiuqing, why did I become the county magistrate when we arrived?
Chao Cuo laughed loudly, and Liu Chang immediately said: "Chao Cuo went to the left prime minister to fight against Cao's officials."
"Um???"
The smile on Chao Cuo's face suddenly solidified.
This Jue Cao is a very small official. Although he is an official of the Prime Minister, his status is not as good as that of a county magistrate!
Liu Chang said: "It's not that I don't want to reuse you, it's just that you are good at strategy but neglect practice, so Jia Sheng asked you to serve as the county magistrate. When you can rule a county, I have other plans. As for Chao Cuo,
If you lack a long-term vision, spend more time with Prime Minister Zhang, and when you can get Prime Minister Zhang's attention, I will have other plans!"
"only!"
The two of them accepted the order, but their faces were still a little unconvinced. They both felt that they were overqualified and underused.
"Your Majesty? Where am I? Where am I?"
Lu Lu couldn't help shouting.
Liu Chang glanced at them and said: "Chen Mai is going to be the county magistrate, Xiao Yan is going to serve as a subordinate to the king, and the rest should go to the army."
"Okay! Great! I want to be a general!"
Fan Kang shouted.
"Be a soldier."
"ah??"
.......
The so-called housekeepers are actually prepared for the prince. The prince is asked to select the housekeepers according to the candidates of the ministers in the court. Once the time is right, a brand new temple can be built immediately. Of course, Liu Chang did the same thing.
After taking office, he used his own people to occupy important positions.
At the court meeting the next day, Liu Chang announced his decision.
But the officials didn't think it was inappropriate, after all, that's how Sheren was originally used.
Liu Chang sat proudly in the upper position and looked at the ministers under his command.
Left Prime Minister Zhang Cang, right Prime Minister Wang Ling, Taiwei Li Zuoche, Yushi Zhu Jian, Feng Chang Gaigong, Tingwei Zhang Buyi, Lang Zhongling Ji Bu, Wei Wei Luan Bu, Zhi Su Nei Shi Zhaoping, Tai Pu Hao
Brothers, Dianke Feng Jing, Zongzheng Liu Guang...they are really full of talents!
All the ministers arrived, and Liu Chang looked at them majestically. They paid homage to the king.
The good brother smiled at Liu Chang, as if he had a lot to say, but Liu Chang was a little embarrassed. This good brother had already worked too hard, and he didn't even know his name. What should he do!!
Among the three ministers and nine ministers, the only ones who are not familiar with Liu Chang are Feng Jing and Zongzheng Liu Guang, who are serving as guest officials. Liu Guang knows Liu Chang, and Liu Guang is several years older than Liu Chang.
His cousin was the younger brother of King Yan Liu Bi, but Feng Jing and Liu Chang did not know each other very well.
After the officials paid their respects, Liu Chang gave some instructions, probably asking them to work together to govern the Tang Dynasty.
This was Liu Chang's first court meeting, but Liu Chang did not feel the situation. Instead, he was very skillful. He sat proudly on the upper position and his voice was loud, quite like Emperor Gao. The ministers pretended to talk about the Tang Dynasty.
Liu Chang just listened casually to the developments. After everyone finished speaking, Liu Chang walked down directly, strode to his good brother, patted him on the shoulder, hugged him, and shouted
: "Good brother!"
The good brothers were all startled and hurriedly said in very fluent and elegant language: "The king is really killing his ministers!"
Liu Chang didn't care, and just said: "I didn't expect you to become a servant! That's great!"
The ministers looked at Liu Chang who looked like this, and couldn't help but look at Feng Chang, who was in charge of etiquette.
Gai Gong looked at Liu Chang at this moment, squinting his eyes and completely ignoring it. Only rotten scholars care about court etiquette!
Liu Chang chatted with his good brother for a while, and then looked at Liu Guang aside.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect my brother to be in the Tang Dynasty!"
"King!"
Liu Guang hurriedly bowed and saluted. Although he was also a member of the clan, his status was far inferior to that of Liu Chang. His brothers were the kings of Yan, and they all respected Liu Chang very much. They often told the people around him that they wished they could be the governor of Yan County in the Tang Dynasty, so how could he dare?
It's rude to Mr. Liu.
Liu Chang chatted with him for a long time, and then looked at Feng Jing who was standing aside.
This man was tall, with a very solemn face, and his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing when facing Liu Chang.
Liu Chang asked proudly: "Who are you?"
"My name is Feng Jing. Because of the Empress Dowager's respect, I serve as a guest of the Tang Dynasty."
Feng Jing said, but Liu Chang didn't like it very much, because the Queen Mother valued it?? This is the Tang Dynasty!
Liu Chang looked at Ji Bu not far away and shouted: "Mr. Ji, this is your colleague!"
Ji Bu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this man is the great-great-grandson of Feng Ting, the Korean general during the Warring States Period. Feng Jie and Feng Quji's kinsmen, the son of Qin general Feng Wuze!"
"He is a man of great ability, able to educate barbarians and understand the customs of barbarians from all directions... He was the one who persuaded the barbarians in the Xianbei Mountains to attack the Xiongnu."
Hearing these words, Liu Chang's eyes lit up, he hurriedly stretched out his hand, grabbed Feng Jing's hand enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "I have heard of your reputation for a long time, and it is really a blessing to meet you today.
ah!!"
"However, I don't understand how the Queen Mother found out about you?"
"I once followed the King of Wei in a rebellion, but was defeated by the Marquis of Huaiyin, and then surrendered. Later, I followed the Marquis of Huaiyin, and was captured by Your Majesty..."
Liu Chang looked at him and then at the people around him.
Is there anyone in this temple who is not a rebel?
ps: Let me tell you two good news. The first good news is that the Sogou input method has an exclusive skin for Lao Lang. You can search for the history wolf. The second thing is that at 14 o'clock tomorrow, the cover news will have an interview with Lao Lang.
Live broadcast, hahaha, interested brothers can make an appointment, but Lao Lang is not good at eloquence and may make a fool of himself.
What does it mean to be an influential online writer? (akimbo and leaning back)
