It can be said that these children in the palace attracted most of the energy of the courtiers.
Despite all the fuss, the heroine is still in charge, right? This will be a big problem in the future.
So, everyone's eyes were really on the palace.
The women of the clan who were educated in the palace were almost all transparent.
For example, their day starts at Mao hour. At this point, the ministers have to hold the morning court, and the emperor has to watch the court. At this point, the daily routine of the day has already begun in the palace.
They need to walk for a quarter of an hour from the dormitory to the academy next to Nan Ya. This is morning exercise! Don't delay on the way. Each person is only allowed to bring one palace attendant to serve. You can ask the palace attendant to pick up things, but you must finish the walk by yourself.
The whole process. Moreover, there is a time limit! Of course, if you are older, the time limit is shorter. If you are younger, the time limit is longer. But no matter how old you are, if you can’t walk quickly, you will definitely be late. If you are late, stand still.
Let's read it early.
Zesheng and Ansheng Taisheng live far away, and their residences have never been separated from Fourth Master and Tongtong. Therefore, they live more than half of the distance. But because they exercise earlier than others, this is fair.
When the three of them arrived, they had to run out of breath to catch up with the time.
Liu Weizhi stood at the door, looking at the clan members running away in embarrassment one by one, and felt unbearable. But I have to say that your Majesty is right, the body is very important. The late emperor is an example! So, look
It's not enough to feel distressed, you have to work hard to get in good shape first.
In fact, if you really have selfish motives, it would be in your interest to keep each of them weak! But they don't. They want the clan members to at least be healthy and live a long life. So who can say anything to the courtiers?
When we arrived at the academy, the academy was divided into two parts because of the huge age gap.
For example, Zesheng, Li Guangshun from Li Xian's family, Li Chongfu from Li Xian's family, Li Shou, the eldest daughter of Li Dan's family, Li Yixun from Li Shangjin's family, and Li Qiu from Li Sujie's family. These six grades are similar and they can sit aside. The rest are in
the other side.
In fact, they are all in the same school. Things are divided in the main hall, and the main hall is where the gentlemen stay.
After arriving, I didn't bother to talk, I read first.
What should you read? The Analects of Confucius is a compulsory lesson. Learn the way of kindness and forgiveness.
After reading and reciting for half an hour in the morning, it was dawn. We ate in the school hall with my husband. Everyone could see what we ate. The Tang Yamen was already in charge of food, and Lin Yutong did not change it. This matter should be taken slowly, not in a hurry.
.
It's very simple anyway.
Four dishes and one soup are served according to the amount of food. You must finish it when you order it, and no waste is allowed.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Yutong will eat here with her children. She does not rush to eat. "Chewing slowly and slowly will help maintain health."
After breakfast, Lin Yutong went to work.
The first class was with Liu Weizhi, and he had to teach the Analects of Confucius.
After the lecture, we got to calligraphy. Originally, the fourth master could do it, but he didn't use it. He brought Li Dan over. He has a good foundation in calligraphy. Come and teach the children calligraphy.
After finishing calligraphy, it was time to learn arithmetic. The Imperial Academy started arithmetic classes, using textbooks compiled by Li Chunfeng. Tongtong re-edited a set for his own children. Lin Zhou in the previous government learned it with the children, and he could do it
gentlemen.
It can be regarded as giving the old person a different identity.
All these are finished, and a long time passed. After lunch, there are side halls on both sides, one for men and one for women, with a couch for each person. Go and take a nap. When you get up, you can play music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Be proficient, but you have to be a little bit proficient. If you find that you are really not good at it, you don’t have to force it. You can also take electives.
After taking this, there are also practical classes, and each class is worth ten discounts.
After the circulation is completed, Emperor Wu will explain and handle the excerpts.
This was a very novel experience for Emperor Wu. After he came in and sat down, he looked at the rows of children sitting there. Except for the children of Li Shangjin and Li Sujie, they were all of his own blood!
However, Emperor Wu felt that the children were very unfamiliar.
Even with Zesheng, we met once a few years ago, and neither one is right for the other.
There is one in this book today, which is a gift from Emperor Wu of Japan to the Japanese panda.
Emperor Wu leaned half back and listened to the academic officer read the book, then smiled and said: "Do you know where this Japan is?"
The academic officer immediately asked someone to move a huge screen over, and on the screen was a huge territory.
Emperor Wu sat up immediately, then stood over and took a closer look, "Come and take a look, this is the Tang Dynasty!"
The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory that the children have never been exposed to. Now, it is right in front of them.
Compared with the territory of the Tang Dynasty, how big was Japan?
Li Dan's eldest daughter, Li Shou, was the daughter of the concubine Liu. She was a direct descendant and had grown up loosely in the palace. She was a few years older and not very afraid of people, so she said: "Grandma, Japan is no more than a small country."
Why are you so polite to me!"
Emperor Wu laughed, glanced at his granddaughter, took her hand and placed it on the bullet point, "Did you see it? You can cover it with just a little stretch of your hand. It's such a small place.
It's also useful." As she said that, she took Li Shou's hand and moved it slightly to the side. "This is Goguryeo and Baekje. Although it has been conquered, troubles always arise from time to time. The disease of scabies,
It involves the energy of the court. What should we do? At this time, tie a wolf to them... If they obey, the rope to tie the wolf will be tighter. If they don't obey, then let go. At that time, their enemies
But the wolf will still come back and bark at us. Do you understand?"
Kangnan boldly asked, "Goguryeo is a small country. What's the use of taking it?"
Emperor Wu nodded slowly, "That's a good question! It's just a small country, but this small country is too close to us. Those who claim to be subordinates are it, and those who repeatedly deny it are also it. If there is a comparison, then
That is to say, this country is a dog, which will bark when you let it go, and wag its tail when you press it. The Japanese country is a wolf, and the wolf nature is difficult to tame! Only with a small country as a barrier, and the wolves eating meat, can the border be stable."
Zesheng glanced at Emperor Wu in surprise. No wonder his mother-in-law told him to listen carefully to this lesson. However, this grandmother could be an emperor and could handle the affairs of the government for twenty years without making any major mistakes. Her ability and knowledge were not the same.
Just find a master who can compare.
Lin Yutong listened for a while outside, said hello to Gao Yanfu, not to disturb him, and then left with Zhang Jianzhi and Di Renjie.
As she walked, she explained the arrangement to the two of them: "As soon as this class is over, it will be time to go to the office. But the children's class is not over yet. There is still an hour of horseback riding and archery lessons, and they all go to the martial arts field.
The master of cavalry and archery is the best in the army. In addition, he has also arranged for veteran generals to accompany him. Firstly, he is afraid that he will hurt them if he practices too much. Secondly, it is time to teach them the art of war. The art of war and cavalry archery go hand in hand.
, can't fall behind. After class, the day's tasks are considered completed. Everyone goes back to their respective dormitories, washes up, eats, and then does homework. What should be memorized must be memorized, what should be written must be finished, whether you want to practice painting or playing the piano, and then
Either they are practicing horseback riding or archery. There is a small martial arts field where they live, which is enough for them to move around. After finishing, they will take a rest early and continue tomorrow. Get used to it for a while, and then see the situation before making adjustments. Everyone
If there are any good books that I think they must read, you can recommend one or two, and I will consider them and arrange them for them..."
In this arrangement, to be honest, what’s the point of being picky?
After more than ten years of training, even if you are a mediocre person, you will definitely not be a dim-witted king. Zhang Jianzhi said, "Your Majesty has a big heart, I admire you."
Lin Yutong laughed and said, "We all know that the prince can be under everyone's nose. It is our achievement to be able to let the Tang Dynasty pass on like this." After saying this, he looked at the two people and said, "There are other things.
Something needs to be reported?"
Di Renjie laughed and said, "The Ministry of Rites did not dare to come. I just came to ask how the British Duke should be enthroned?"
Lin Yutong: "..." Isn't this what scratches your head? "I know what the Ministry of Rites is concerned about, isn't it the title of imperial husband? The husband is the wife's guide. If there is a husband, will he listen to me or I to him?
, Is that what you think?”
yes!
Lin Yutong laughed and said, "No more titles! A British duke is a British duke, otherwise? Do we still need to appoint a male queen? If he is the queen, will he no longer be able to participate in politics? But he has a lot of experience in miscellaneous studies, military affairs
The innovation of utensils and agricultural tools are all major events among major events. So, the British Duke can be the British Duke, why must he be canonized? When it is time to go to court, he is a minister. When it is time to go to court, he is a husband. Deal with it
When I am in government, I am a king; when I go home, please give me some private space. I want to go home and be a wife, is that possible?"
After saying that, he waved to the two of them, "It's time to go to the Yamen. If you're not on duty, just go home and rest. I have to go home too. I want to make a bowl of braised pork for my man, so I won't invite you two."
I’m going back to stay with you.”
Then he really left!
I actually went to make braised pork for Fourth Master. I sat down in a big pot and sent a portion to Emperor Wu. I added vegetables to the children and we ate the rest ourselves.
Braised pork rice bowl and a bowl of sour bamboo shoot soup, why do they taste so good?
Tongtong ate his meal and asked Fourth Master: "The most receipts I have received in the past few days are those asking for a return to Chang'an. The courtiers still prefer to return to Chang'an."
Guessed it!
The fourth master said, "It depends on how you think about it. What Emperor Wu considered was not unreasonable. Luoyang has developed shipping and reaches the south of the Yangtze River. The capital is placed here, next to the big granary. This is for economic reasons. It is also right to go back to Chang'an.
!Why are there so few capitals in the south? As long as Datong, the capitals are all placed in the north, because the south is close to the sea. For now, there are no strong enemies near the sea! But the north is different. It borders the grassland, and all the strong enemies are in the north.
.If the capital is moved south, it will be very dangerous. Luoyang is not to the south, but it is to the east. This will inevitably lead to regional imbalance and lead to the northwest falling. Moreover, Chang'an is firmly located in Weihan and supports Yongzhou.
, surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is a land of four fortresses, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In terms of military fortresses, Luoyang is much inferior to Chang'an."
Tongtong nodded, she understood this. The location of the capital can sometimes play a role in balancing the area, allocating materials, and promoting flow. The consideration of military role is indeed the key point, but: "Objectively speaking, Qinchuan, eight hundred miles away from Guanzhong,
If you want to maintain a large capital city, it will break down in bad times."
Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, he looked at the map, "It's not that I haven't thought about repairing the Wei River and developing shipping on the Wei River. But it doesn't work. First, the course of the Yellow River has begun to swing. Second, the rainfall in the north is small, and the dry season of the river is relatively long. Third, the weather
It’s cold, and the river will freeze in winter, so the time it can be navigable is too short.” Therefore, this is a shortcoming that cannot be made up for.
Why did the Sui Dynasty also move the capital to Luoyang? It was because after the Han Dynasty, Guanzhong was no longer enough to support the capital.
If we have to compete on the Wei River, the amount of migrant workers and engineering work required is unimaginable.
Lin Yutong said, "Nowadays, there are many people who oppose Empress Wu just to oppose Empress Wu! It's as if Empress Wu ascended the throne here and something happened. It's simply inexplicable."
Fourth Master then gave his idea, "Unless there is a big move."
How to move?
The fourth master clicked on the map and said, "Re-divide the provinces, and change the three provinces and six ministries along the way. Abolish the three provinces! Now these three provinces have actually highlighted the status of Zhongshu Province. If this continues, it is not a good thing. It would be better to overthrow the table.
, come back!”
Yes! The provinces must be re-divided.
Nowadays, the divisions are divided into different roads, such as taking the Yellow River as the boundary, Hebei Road, and Henan Road. But this has great disadvantages. The map must be divided into provinces in a criss-cross manner.
Why? Let’s take the An Lushan Rebellion as an example. An Lushan raised his troops in Hebei Province, and then the imperial army was unable to cross the river.
Today's regional divisions are all "following the shape of mountains and rivers", which is wrong! It is necessary to divide each dangerous area into another province. Only in this way can mutual checks and balances between the two provinces be formed.
Just as he was talking, Zesheng finished his homework and came to see Aniang and Aye. He also came over to look at the map and asked what he was going to do. Lin Yutong told his children what they were going to do.
Zesheng understood immediately. He put his hand on Hanzhong County and said, "Hanzhong is the gateway to Sichuan and Shu. If the Central Plains wants to enter Sichuan and Shu, Hanzhong is the only entrance. When my son read the history of the Three Kingdoms, he realized something. Liu Bei had
Only then did Hanzhong threaten the Wei state. Later, Hanzhong was captured by Zhong Hui, and the Shu state soon fell. If Hanzhong is included in Sichuan and Shu, once local separatist regimes are formed and they rely on natural dangers, the court will be helpless!"
That’s the truth!
Therefore, Hanzhong cannot be returned to Sichuan and Shu provinces, which will curb the throats of Sichuan and Shu. Want to become bigger? Try making it bigger!
This should be derived from the experience and lessons learned by later generations after the Anshi Rebellion. Later in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the division of various provinces was adjusted. Why? It was for this reason.
The jagged map contains the experience and lessons of thousands of years of struggle, which are all wisdom!
The fourth master always clicked on the most important place. After the child fell asleep, the fourth master said, "Look, with such a big move, without your current position, which emperor can let you do this? That's it.
Even if the military system is changed, if this geographical division is not changed, it will still not be able to put an end to the separatism of local forces."
That's right! That's the truth.
Lin Yutong invited Emperor Wu and several prime ministers in the court the next day to show them the revised map and the original map.
For example, Tong'an County belongs to Huainan Road, which is divided according to the Huaihe River.
Tong'an County became Anqing later. It was originally the gateway to Jiangxi, but it belonged to Anhui.
Emperor Wu looked at the map for a long time and then he understood the meaning. Ordinarily, is this consideration correct? It must be correct! Putting each important road under the jurisdiction of another government, and constraining each other, whoever wants to do most of it is fine.
Difficult. But such a change is equivalent to reshuffling the officialdom. Even the names of official positions have to be changed, the regions have changed, and it is abnormal for officials to change. It is too normal.
This change of officials wiped out Emperor Wu's power. Di Renjie said to himself that before, he was worried that the Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty, would have disputes between these two generations of kings on some matters, such as the appointment and promotion of officials. Now
Okay, His Majesty just overturned the table. How to rebuild it? She grabbed it.
There was no conspiracy, no overt and covert fighting, His Majesty just put the matter before everyone in an upright and upright manner. This is a major event that will benefit the Tang Dynasty for generations to come. Can you say no to it?
No way!
Then you have to agree! After agreeing, each and every one of them becomes a chess piece in His Majesty's hands. She can use them only when she wants and how she wants to use them.
Not counting this, someone else brought up another point, "That is to completely reform the three provinces. How should we do this? One is for government, one is for military, and one is for law. These are the three pavilions. The three pavilions stand side by side, each performing their own duties.
.”
It seems that there are still three provinces, but there is a problem, that is the will of the saint. If something goes wrong, who will refute it?
This one!
Lin Yutong said, "The members of the three pavilions are all odd numbers, and each person votes with one vote. I have two votes, but I can say no! If the members of the three pavilions all reject a resolution, the emperor will take it back and reconsider it."
This means who cares about whom! The government does not care about the military, the military does not care about the government, and the law is the supervision. This is another restriction on the power of the prime minister.
No one said anything. This matter needs to be considered more carefully.
Then let's think about it and take our time.
But can it really be done slowly? Lin Yutong communicated with each other one by one, and first approached Zhang Jianzhi.
Autumn is here, and the autumn chrysanthemums are blooming. When Zhang Jian came to the office, Tongtong was playing with the chrysanthemums. As soon as she saw him, she waved, "No courtesy, come and sit down."
Zhang Jianzhi came over and sat down.
Lin Yutong put the picked chrysanthemums in place, and then used the dried chrysanthemums to make chrysanthemum tea, "Try this taste to get rid of the heat."
The fragrance of chrysanthemum is tangy, "Good tea!"
"I think it's good. I'll bring you some when I go back." He said and asked, "Have all the family members arrived? What kind of errands are the sons at home doing? How many grandchildren do they have? Is Madam okay? I'll take Madam with me another day.
Come together..."
Zhang Jianzhi replied loudly, thinking in his mind what his Majesty meant by looking for him.
Lin Yutong sighed, "You and Prime Minister Lou are both elders, and I want to entrust you with government affairs. As for Di Gong, he also admires you very much and thinks you have the ability to be a prime minister. If the Tang Dynasty wants to be stable, what is the most important thing?
The most important thing is to make the people prosperous and strong! I want to leave this most important thing to you...any other things that hinder you, I will deal with it for you."
Zhang Jianzhi drank the tea brewed by His Majesty himself and said so many words of praise and sincerity that for some reason, he immediately agreed.
When he went back, he was still wondering: Why did he just agree?
Little did he know that Lou Shide and Di Renjie were also invited to the palace separately later, and both drank His Majesty's chrysanthemum tea alone.
Their Majesty said to Lou Shide, "What is the most important thing in military affairs? Food, grass and weapons. Prime Minister Lou, I have entrusted the safety of the Tang Dynasty to you. I can only entrust you with the most important things."
!”
The old man was so moved that he couldn't even express his gratitude.
When they arrived at Duke Dee, their majesty said to them, "I never fool around with Duke Dee. You have a delicate and clear heart, comparable to Bigan! The perfection and execution of laws are so great in the whole dynasty.
Minister, no one can do this except you..."
Shangguan Wan'er listened and laughed in her heart. The Supreme Emperor is very straightforward and would not be so shameless! People who talk sweetly but are brave are not as cute as upright people! Anyway, the errands given to everyone are important. They
It’s so special in your heart. Then he talks softly and puts someone in a sack!
