Chapter 39 Li Chengqian, who treats the emperor as a petty official
Dragon can be big or small, it can rise or disappear: if it is big, it will stir up clouds and spit out mist; if it is small, it will hide and hide its form; if it rises, it will soar in the universe; if it is hidden, it will lurk in the waves; if it is angry, it will stir up waves thousands of feet high, and it will cause chaos.
Eight hundred miles, millions of lives damaged.
Li Er is a dry dragon. He can never swim, so he caused earthquakes...
Everyone thought so. A winged Kui dragon taking away thousands of lives when it ascended was considered very kind. Not only the common people saw it this way, but also the gentlemen of the academy saw it this way.
Yun Ye didn't see it that way, because before Li Chengqian fainted from crying, he ordered Yun Ye to take full responsibility for dealing with this catastrophe. Therefore, when Yun Ye walked among the ruins, the grief and anger in his heart was really unspeakable.
surface.
Sadness has its limits. If you don't know anything and suddenly receive bad news, it will be a huge blow to a person. If a person lingers on the bedside and takes care of him for two years, you will find that when he really dies
When you are young, you don't seem to have much sadness. Even if the whole world becomes a pure world, you still won't feel sadness.
Landslides occurred, houses collapsed, bridges were broken, and roads were destroyed. This earthquake with a very shallow epicenter caused the most serious damage to the Imperial Mausoleum on Mount Jiuwei. The mausoleum was built with great difficulty, but now I heard that the damage was very serious.
, countless cracks have appeared in the tomb chamber, and there is a danger of collapse at any time. Xu Jingzong is now like a frightened donkey, rushing to repair the tomb day and night, re-excavating the tomb chamber, and repairing the tomb for Li Er, but he must also accept his bad temper.
Jiuwei Mountain has "nine peaks all beautiful", "mountains are undulating and majestic", and is "a famous mountain on Guannai Road". The mountain is quite magical. When viewed from the south, it looks like a cone; when viewed from the southwest, it looks like an overturned bucket.
, when viewed from the east, it looks like a penholder, and the locals call it "Beacon Mountain". Li Shimin's mausoleum was carved into the mountain as a cave. An underground palace was built at the bottom of the mountain peak, including the accompanying tombs, which stretches for dozens of miles and is magnificent.
It is spectacular. He carved a mountain to build a mausoleum and used the mountain as a mausoleum. This is a new river created by Li Er.
Yushan disarmed, and the army marched out of Yushan City one by one. Waiting for the defense change, Yun Ye originally thought that Li Chengqian would impatiently replace the soldiers, but he did not expect that he ignored them and gave the order, and the soldiers were still in their places.
The damage to the buildings was very serious, at least the Yun family's house had cracks. The appearance of the people's homes was even more miserable. Fortunately, the earthquake happened during the day. January is when people are preparing for spring plowing and transporting fertilizers to the farmland. If an earthquake occurs
At night, Yun Ye couldn't imagine what kind of tragic situation it would be.
Li Chengqian generously admitted that this was a sequelae left behind by his father Long Yu Bintian. He ordered the inner government to open the treasury and let Yun Ye draw from it, and compensated the people door to door.
It's just that this time the compensation was a bit high, 300,000 households. Seeing the gold and silver coins flowing out of the warehouse, Yun Ye felt very painful, but Li Chengqian didn't seem to care. He seemed to be willing to pay for his father's recklessness.
Move to pay.
During the day, he rode around on horseback and arranged for officials to organize the rescue of survivors buried in the ruins. At the same time, he generously apologized to the royal family. The late emperor had a fierce temper, walked in a hurry, and accidentally injured the people. The royal family acknowledged all losses.
This is the effect Li Chengqian needs. When an angry dragon ascends to the sky, innocent fish and shrimps will always be affected. He needs the people to admit that they are fish and shrimps. As for the Yun family, they are a big bastard.
At night, we have to keep vigil for the emperor, which is indescribably hard work. Changsun Chong is the ceremony officer, and Dugumou is the guardian officer. One yells at the top of his voice all day long, and the other stands covered all day long. When Yun Ye staggers back, they
The two of them also came out of the mourning hall exhausted.
For dinner, there was only white rice and a bowl of soup. Yun Ye would rather use tea and water to soak the rice than touch the bowl of vegetable soup without any seasoning. It was called vegetable soup, and the cook also put a large piece of pork in it.
Things removed from the confession book need to be shared among the officials. This is the last grace of the Supreme Emperor.
Changsun Chong didn't eat either, and imitated Yun Ye's example of making rice with tea and water, but Dugumou didn't mind. He drank all three bowls of soup by himself and ate all the pork inside. He seemed to enjoy it very much.
"Should we kill those people on the grassland?" Dugumou asked the other two people after eating.
"Are you going to bury them alive or shave them off and put them on the altar as pig heads? If it's the latter, you'll be responsible for the meat tomorrow." Yun Ye took a small sip of tea and said angrily.
"I think it's feasible. Since people like Ashina Simo, Qibi, and Ashina Duer have cut their faces and asked to be buried to protect the late emperor, we might as well grant him permission." Changsun Chong said with a vicious look on his face.
"Aren't you sorry? Qi Bi has been loyal and brave throughout his life. He will always strive for the first place in every battle. His people have almost shed their blood for the Tang Dynasty, so you can act against your conscience? They are just being polite and showing their loyalty. As for Ashina
Du'er, he is also a strong man. You have already forced people to go home to herd the sheep, so don't chop off their heads. However, I still agree to put this guy Ashinasmo on the altar. How dare you put him on the altar?
I think the alien race who wants to transfer his fiefdom to Beihai has already revealed his rebellious intentions, so it would be nice to steam it and let Dugu Mou eat it."
Dugu Mou grinned with his mouth full of white teeth: "I'm never picky about what I eat. As long as it can fill my stomach, I don't mind it. Whether it's human flesh or pork, it's all meat in my mouth."
Not long after the topic of heavy food was discussed, Li Chengqian walked out and said he was the emperor. At this time, there was no preferential treatment at all. The dinner was also a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup. While eating, he listened to Yun Ye's talk about the disaster relief situation.
, when he heard that there were four counties affected by the disaster, he sighed, put down his job and said: "Chang'an itself has Chang'an and Wannian counties, plus Lantian, Sanyuan, and Liquanhu counties, there is a whole
Six counties were affected by the disaster, Chang'an, Wannian, Lantian, and Sanyuan, which were the four most populous counties in the Tang Dynasty. Three hundred thousand households were affected and more than two thousand people died. This is simply lucky."
Yun Ye put down the teapot and said: "Let's not talk about luck. There are countless collapsed houses, especially in Sanyuan. There are almost no habitable houses. Look at the sky above. This is a sign that it is going to snow. It is still January.
These homeless people must first be placed in a house. At the very least, they must have a tent to protect them from the cold wind. Otherwise, if they are not crushed to death by the house, they will also be frozen to death by the cold wind.
I have almost emptied the tents in the army, but it is still not enough. There are millions of people. If you come up with a charter as soon as possible, I can save people. If it is a few days later, there will be no need to save people."
Li Chengqian looked up at the leaden gray clouds and said to Yun Ye: "Open the royal palaces. Many palaces have not been inhabited for many years. Don't waste it. The houses in the palaces are all very solidly built and there is no problem. Zhaoyang on the Dry Plateau
The palace is also open this time. After the people's houses are built, the palaces should also be repaired."
This is the first time Yun Ye has spoken to Li Chengqian in the past three years. After the official business was finished, everyone fell silent. After a long time, Li Chengqian asked Yun Ye in a hoarse voice: "Are you really planning to go to Yuezhou?"
Yun Ye nodded and said: "It's impossible to leave. I can't stand it anymore. One person dies today and another tomorrow. If this continues, it will be my turn to pass away. When all the elders pass away, I can return to Yushan to teach."
It’s better not to see each other again. It’s futile to feel sad once we see each other. You also know that I am most afraid of this kind of farewell.”
Li Chengqian nodded sadly and whispered: "You can still escape, but I can't escape. I work all night long for this country, but in exchange for the reputation of a tyrant, Li Chengqian believes that he loves the people like his own son and has never done anything harmful to the people."
Why do I have to bear such a bad reputation? After my father passed away, the whole world was deserted. Whether it was the South China Sea or the North Sea, there were cries everywhere. I was worried that after my death, some people would celebrate me. My father's posthumous title was "Combined Civil and Military Affairs"
Zhi, what can I have? Zhou? Or Jie or Shang?"
When Yun Ye saw Changsun Chong and Dugu Mou leaving, he couldn't help but whisper: "Are you full? You must take back power? Is there any similarity between the current Tang Dynasty and that dynasty in history? The Great Tang
The taxation in one year of the Tang Dynasty was as much as the total taxation of the previous Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. The territory was vast and unparalleled in ancient times, and the population had exceeded 10 million.
Do you still use the previous centralized system of kings to rule this country? The late emperor tried it before, but later found that it didn't work, so he made the Tang Dynasty what it was before you ascended the throne.
Things on the farmland are the affairs of the chief minister of agriculture. Etiquette and diplomacy should be the affairs of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple. The Ministry of Husbandry should take charge of the households in the world. You should let the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Punishment take charge of the punishments in the world.
When we go to Dali Temple for trial, who asked you to supervise one or two death row inmates? Even if one or two were unjustly killed, so what? After your personal review, there will be no unjust cases.
What should you be in charge of? You should be in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, the Water Supervision, and the Imperial City Department and Staff Department that you don’t want people to know about. The strategy of Yushan Academy is what you should study carefully.
Why do you care about the bad things of the petty officials in the states and counties? Survival of the fittest is common sense.
Be optimistic about the military power in your hands, be optimistic about the supervisory power in your hands, keep an eye on where rebellion will occur, and then find a suitable general to judge.
Do you know that if you do more, you will make more mistakes, if you do less, you will make fewer mistakes, and if you don’t do anything, it’s good. This is a famous saying in the officialdom. If the Ministry of Civil Affairs does something wrong, you punish the Ministry of Civil Affairs. If the Ministry of Industry is wrong, you make trouble for the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Punishment is wrong.
You just need to organize the Ministry of Justice. Chengqian, you are the emperor now, and your duty is to monitor the world. You are not asked to be a petty official.
You don't do practical things, so there is nothing wrong. The ministers are all wrong. This is the essence of why a king cannot make mistakes. Once you make a mistake, who do you blame? There is no one behind you..."
Li Tai originally came out to take a breath, but when he saw Yun Ye talking to his elder brother with foaming at the mouth, his heart warmed up, he rubbed his belly, and continued to walk into the mourning hall to keep vigil. As long as he started talking, the estrangement that had existed for many years would be lifted.
Friendship doesn't mean you don't want it just because you don't want it...
