The magistrate of Lantian County always comes to Yun's house to visit the Minister of War after the summer harvest. This is a proper etiquette, and it is the same for every county magistrate. This year, the topic of the conversation with Yun Ye is the governance of unruly people.
The county magistrate was very worried. In the past, if people were asked to go out to do corvee work, all they needed was a piece of paper from the county government. But now it is different. They need to be told clearly which article in the national law stipulates that they must go out to do corvee work at this time of this year. Say no.
Those who understand will be rejected, and even the scribes sent there are in danger of being beaten.
The countryside was full of veterans and literate farmers who had made meritorious service, but no one paid any attention to the county government if they could not be persuaded. The county magistrate wanted to ask senior officials like the Minister of War if they had any better ways to deal with the current situation.
"No, in the final analysis, the laws of the Tang Dynasty cannot keep up with the changes of the people. That's why officials are now speechless when asked by the people. I'm better off. The bankers just plan to invest in the Yun family's caravan, and they have no intention of not doing so.
Grow crops for me. There is a shortage of manpower everywhere now. Summer is a good time to make wine. We can’t find enough manpower. All the servants of the Yun family have taken turns to work. It’s embarrassing to say that.”
He couldn't put on official airs with his parents in his hometown, so a man in green clothes and a small hat came to the door with a letter of snacks to ask for advice. Yun Ye couldn't help but impatiently persuaded him. He came just to show his merit, hoping that his hard work would be satisfied if the superior saw it. As for what to do
To govern the people, no one needs to teach them how to do it.
After being entertained with good wine and good food, I got drunk in the carriage and prepared to go home. Especially after the long conversation between the Yun family and the Minister of War was watched by almost everyone, I left with satisfaction.
Yun Ye knows that he is a prop. Of course, when making props, he must have the consciousness of being a prop. Only when the actors are satisfied can he fulfill his responsibility as a prop.
Not only Yun Ye said this. Li Er also said this recently. He said that he is now a human-shaped stamp. He just needs to put a big seal on the memorial. If he is in a good mood, he will agree. If he is in a bad mood, he will not agree. If he is angry,
No, he just cursed in the memorial. No matter what he did, he found that the result would not be much different from the contents of the memorial sent by the three provinces.
Fang Xuanling could finally retire because Li Chengqian took over the Zhongshu Province. Changsun Wuji still served as the Zuopushe of the Menxia Province with his sword still young. There was no big boss in the Shangshu Province. Chu Suiliang, the Minister of Hubu, served as the Zuopshe, and the Ministry of War
Shangshu Yun Ye served as the right servant, and when they were evenly matched, the two factions had no choice but to move from confrontation to cooperation. Yun Ye could not always ignore Chang Sun Chong, and Chang Sun Wuji could not allow Xu Jingzong to rise to prominence in Menxia Province.
Whether it is Li Chengqian, Changsun Wuji, or Yun Ye, they are actually the people who are most familiar with Li Er. The memorials and documents coming out of the hands of the three of them have become legal, and Li Er's opinions have even become
It was so important. Therefore, Li Er, who held the power of the Sixteenth Guards, never allowed others to touch it.
Two years have passed, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty have become very aware of the current situation. The officials of Changsun's line are used to being made things difficult by Yun Ye, Xu Jingzong and Yun Ye, and the officials of Yun Ye's line are also used to being made things difficult by Changsun Wu.
Ji Ji and Chu Suiliang were questioning each other. As for Li Chengqian, he would help whoever had the right to do so. Matters that really couldn't be decided would be handed over to Li Er's hands and left to his own devices.
The Tang Dynasty was so big that Li Er couldn't handle it all by himself. The secretaries had to burn up to three thousand kilograms of documents every day. The palace demolished the Xuanwu Gate and placed the huge secretaries here.
The open space covering an area of thirty acres, filled with the gloom and blood of the past, has been surrounded by bustling scribes.
Li Er was walking along the white jade railings of the Wanmin Palace in his long clothes. Under his feet was the huge empire he ruled. It was an extremely ordinary morning. There were bustling crowds everywhere under his feet, and an astonishing number of officials helped him rule.
To control the largest country, Li Er now has a very regular schedule. He works at sunrise and rests at sundown just like an old farmer. Li Xiang followed behind him holding the brocade box. Inside was Li Er's favorite
Grape wine, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Li Xiang would quickly hand the wine glass to his grandfather.
Going around the west side of the main hall, a huge statue is being erected on Zhuque Street. This is something that Li Er has long wanted to see, and it is also the product of Yun Ye's flattery. A huge statue carved from granite will be erected soon.
.
"Xiang'er, what kind of place do you think Far Island is? Can he really stop the imperial fleet's conquest?" Li Er took a sip of wine and asked Li Xiang behind him.
"Your Majesty, Far Island is an island in the distance. Other than that, there is nothing surprising. Last year, the secret agent of Du Water Supervisor came back from Far Island and said this. From what he recorded for nearly ten years,
It can be seen from Yu Wanyan's travel notes that it is indeed the case, Far Island is an island in the distance."
Li Er nodded in agreement. The government had finally settled down. There were less treacherous things, but more unknowns. The empire's current focus began to move towards remote states and counties. Li Er knew very well that only by strengthening exchanges would the empire not be able to survive.
It can make an empire fall apart in an instant.
Changsun Wuji was walking up the stairs with his robe lifted up. His gray hair looked so dazzling in the sunlight. Nowadays, there are very few white-haired veterans in the court. Changsun Wuji finally managed to become a highly respected person.
.
Li Er smiled brightly, put away his wine glass and took Li Xiang back to the Wanmin Palace. If his guess was correct, Changsun Wuji would come today to discuss the ownership of the East China Sea Fleet.
The South China Sea Fleet was not allowed to be touched, so the powerful East China Sea Fleet became Changsun Wuji's only appeal. However, Zhang Liang was very uncooperative in this matter and ignored the requests of Changsun's family. He insisted that only
Only the will of His Majesty the Emperor can decide everything. As for the documents from the three provinces, he did not agree and put himself in the position of a royal servant, waiting for Li Er's decision.
The eldest grandson took Li Zhi, who was constantly drooling and coquettish, for a walk by the Taiye Pond. She looked much younger now than a few years ago. Perhaps it was because her son had turned into a child, and her mood also returned to when Li Zhi was six years old.
that year.
The Bird of Paradise flew out of the huge bird cage, stopped on his finger and called twice. Li Zhi picked up a stone and threw it at the Bird of Paradise. The bird screamed and flew up, circling continuously on the Taiye Pond.
"Songtsen Gampo is dead? If I remember correctly, he was only thirty-two years old this year. Why did he die of illness at such a young age? Who is the Zanpu of Tubo now? How does Ludongtsen deal with himself?"
After reading the document, Li Er smiled and asked Sun Wuji.
"Your Majesty is right. Songtsen Gampo is indeed only thirty-two years old now. It is said that he suffered from a headache and died of pain. Songtsen Gampo's son Gongsong Gongtsen died young, so the throne of Tubo was passed to his grandson because of his young age.
, the political power was continued by the Prime Minister Lu Dongzan, who was in charge of the military and political affairs of Tubo."
“Then it’s Lu Dongzan who really has the word in Tubo?”
"Indeed, Your Majesty."
After Li Er walked around the main hall, he smiled and said to Changsun Wuji: "Preach my wishes and send envoys to express my condolences. At the same time, Lu Dongzan was named King of Ci, and his son Lin Qinzhu was named Luhou, and 30,000 households were granted the title.
"
Changsun Wuji said expressionlessly: "Lu Dongzan is also a great man of his generation. His Majesty did this. It is very likely that he led the army in order to divert domestic conflicts. The first place of attack was the Hexi land of our Tang Dynasty, and Khotan."
Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang from Hexi are no match for this person. Wei Chen believes that it is time for Marquis Yun to go on an expedition."
Li Er waved his hands and said: "No, Wuji said that you are all-rounder in government affairs, but when it comes to military affairs, you'd better talk less and make jokes whenever you speak. Lu Dongzan needs to show off his military exploits at this time.
There is a 90% chance that the place that can be attacked is Tianzhu. He wants to attack Hexi or send troops out of the Black Stone Valley. In the final analysis, it is a delusion. He will not make such a choice. Once the war with our country fails, what awaits him is likely to be
The body will die and the clan will be destroyed!"
Changsun Wuji carried the emperor's will and left the Wanmin Palace. He was extremely melancholy. When he needed allies the most, Songtsen Gampo died, and Lu Dongtsen had to send troops in a hurry. The emperor was right, Lu Dongtsen
