Kong Yingda listened to the conversation outside the courtyard wall and murmured: "You young people are doing things too recklessly."
Cen Wenwen said: "Old Master, let us first resolve the situation in front of us and then discuss right and wrong."
Screams and curses were heard outside the courtyard wall, and it was obvious that both the civil and military parties were beginning to take action.
There has always been a civil and military discord between the DPRK and the DPRK. Now in Chang'an City, the civil and military sides were fighting fiercely. The scene was so big that it ranged from the official academy to the Imperial College, and even Pingkangfang was implicated. It was very lively for a while.
In the end, it was Yuchi Gong who led the military guards on his left and right to quell the turmoil.
Seeing that there was no movement outside, Cen Wenwen reopened the door. At this moment, there were only a few officers and soldiers in front of the door, scolding the troublemakers.
Upon seeing this, Kong Yingda said: "It seems that this kind of official education is the most important thing in the country. No matter whether it is military or literati, it is necessary to cultivate one's health."
Chang'an City was in constant trouble because of this incident, so Li Shimin and his entire family arrived at Lishan Mountain early.
Zhang Yang and Li Yue came to the village entrance to greet him.
Li Shimin got off the carriage and said loudly: "There is an urgent report from Chang'an City."
"Urgent report? Could it be that the Prince of the East Palace has rebelled?"
Being stared at by Li Shimin, Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly and said, "The East Palace is weak and weak, so if you think about it, you won't rebel. Even if you rebel, you won't be able to stir up any trouble."
Still being stared at by the emperor and his wife's surprised gaze, Zhang Yang explained again: "I just said it casually to liven up the atmosphere."
Weng and son-in-law didn't have good things to say when they met.
Empress Changsun smiled and smoothed things over, "Your Majesty, don't keep your father waiting in a hurry."
Li Shimin waved his sleeves and said, "Come with me."
Then came a group of younger brothers and sisters.
Zhang Yang followed behind, "Then His Majesty just said that there was an urgent report from Chang'an City. What kind of urgent report was it?"
"Because of your question, the literati and military men of Chang'an City are now fighting in the streets."
"how so?"
Li Shimin walked away with a straight face and said, "The Wei Mansion is having an endless quarrel with many literati."
"I am very confused."
"What's wrong with you?"
"That's right. My topic was given to General Li Daliang. How could I let other guards and many scholars know about it?"
Li Shimin's face became more and more gloomy, and his steps became a little faster.
Zhang Yang looked back at Li Lizhi and a group of younger brothers and sisters in confusion. The group still looked at them to indicate that they didn't know.
Li Yue saw this and realized something, but did not say anything.
Building a strong country and strong army has always been the emperor's goal. Enriching the country and the people, all for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, has been the emperor's lifelong wish.
Of course he hoped that all the talented people in the world would work hard for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
Did you take this question and hand it over to the three provinces and six ministries?
Then after it became known to many people in Chang'an City, both the civil and military parties took action?
The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty were tough, the folk customs were martial, the warriors were heroic, and the literati were not easy to mess with.
Just from the fighting postures in the court, we can see that it is not uncommon for both civil and military parties to fight.
Even the literati and warriors of Tai Chi Hall would fight, let alone in the public.
Zhang Yang let out a long sigh, "It seems that the gap between the literati and military men of the Tang Dynasty will become even greater in the future."
Following the emperor, the queen and a group of younger brothers and sisters came to the residence of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.
Li Yuan is playing chess with Ouyang Xun.
Li Shimin saluted the queen, "Father."
The Supreme Emperor Li Yuan had a straight face at first, but when he saw a group of children surrounding him and calling him Grandpa Huang, the old man finally had a smile on his face.
Zhang Yang saluted Ouyang Xun.
Ouyang Xun returned the greeting and left silently.
Li Shimin asked about the physical condition of the Supreme Emperor. After more than half a year of cultivation, Li Yuan's health had improved a lot.
After quitting drinking, he lived in Lishan, practicing Tai Chi and playing with the children in the village.
I really have nothing to do, read books and farm, and live a leisurely and contented life.
Li Yue had to take care of her younger siblings, while Zhang Yang stood in front of the hospital.
"The questions you asked are very good, and I like them too."
The emperor's words came from behind.
Zhang Yang said with a smile: "When the teacher gave the question, I saw this question and wrote it down."
"Oh? Really? When did it happen?"
"I can't remember it. In short, it's all for the sake of our family, country, and world. We are born in the world and of course we must set an example. Living in this era, we must have our own mission. This mission may be big or small. The small one may be because the parents are short-sighted.
Everywhere you look is your family, your country and your country, what do you think, Your Majesty?"
"If everyone is like this, why worry about my Tang Dynasty not being strong?"
Zhang Yang smiled and nodded, "If your majesty can keep working hard like this, the Tang Dynasty will definitely become powerful."
Li Shimin took a few steps forward, and Zhang Yang followed suit, "Actually, Your Majesty shouldn't be so anxious to present this question to everyone."
Li Shimin snorted coldly: "Do you think I did something wrong?"
Zhang Yang raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, because you have done something wrong, are there not enough comments from officials to draw inferences about other cases?"
"His Majesty used to be the eldest brother, the eldest brother who led his brothers to conquer the world. As the eldest brother, of course he must speak his mind. Many heroes and warriors in the rivers and lakes listened to the orders and took action."
Li Shimin thought back to those days, when it was truly a glorious time.
Zhang Yang added: "But being an emperor is different. Whenever you do something wrong, you will often be cited and draw inferences."
"Don't make any inferences about this matter to me."
"Then when does Your Majesty plan to return this time?"
Li Shimin found a clean stone on the roadside and said, "Stay here for two days and return to the palace before New Year's Eve."
Zhang Yang also sat down and said, "Luoyang has begun to close the net."
As soon as the words were spoken, Li Tai came in a hurry, "Father, our residence has been arranged."
"Well, thank you for your trouble and go meet your mother."
"Here."
When Li Tai walked into the courtyard, Li Shimin said again: "Luoyang has been operating for a long time, how much money can you get from it?"
"It will be transported back and forth several times. If everything goes well, it will be no less than 500,000 yuan."
There was a bitter smile on the emperor's face.
I was a little surprised when I heard this number, but I was more helpless and ironic. The DPRK was very nervous about spending, and even sending out troops had to be calculated carefully.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The court is so poor that it can hardly be opened, and it has to rely on the children's brother-in-law to support it.
Local tycoons have hidden wealth, often worth hundreds of thousands of coins.
What a huge irony.
The Tang Dynasty has been established since then, and has conquered the Turks in the north, held imperial examinations, and defended against enemies in the Western Regions. It has almost emptied the family fortune.
But the wealthy people in those places can live such a wealthy life.
Drinking pool and meat forest all day long.
"Whatever Luoyang gets this time is all yours."
"I will use this money for construction, and then the construction results will be distributed to the court."
"So good."
Li Shimin put his hands on his knees, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction and a bit of hatred, "I want to confiscate their property."
Zhang Yang cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Sun Shaoqing is in Luoyang. Since Your Majesty wants money and wants to deal with the family, I have an idea."
Although there is no harmony between the monarch and his ministers, before the aristocratic family falls, both of them have the same goal, and they both want to overthrow these old clans.
The aristocratic families are entrenched in one party, and once the political situation becomes unstable, they will split their power, or even find a reason to rebel.
If the country is stable, they will reach out to the court and encroach on power step by step, thus becoming their way of absorbing nutrients from the soil of the country to strengthen themselves.
This has been done by aristocratic families for hundreds of years in all dynasties.
And aristocratic families will train their own scholars. Whenever one of them achieves something, they will firmly control this person and become the mouthpiece of the court. They will even pave the way for him to climb up as high as possible.
.
That is to say, after Gao Shilian left the court, many old officials also left the court, including many old officials from the gentry who supported Li Jiancheng.
Lu Chengqing is one of them. He has now been demoted to Hexi to work as a coolie.
Yan Shigu is also one. He was exiled and now he does not know whether he is alive or dead.
Zhang Yang sat aside and shook the cattail leaf fan in his hand, "As long as they do evil, the government will have a reason to confiscate their property. As long as Your Majesty is willing to seize those children of the aristocratic families, they can make a lot of money."
"This is what your Majesty is thinking. When Zhao Guogong proposed to let go of those children from aristocratic families for the time being, His Majesty must be unwilling to do so. He must also think that I have been operating in Luoyang for so long. If I let them go, it will lead to my previous problems.
All the previous efforts in setting up were wasted.”
"Put me on the opposite side of Duke Zhao and let me make enemies in the court. In this way, the situation will be much clearer. If things fail, Your Majesty can demote me or even kill me to set an example and appease the anger of the family."
"So let Zhao Guogong, who previously persuaded Your Majesty to let go of the children of the aristocratic family, go to appease him. After the matter is settled, it will not have any impact on Your Majesty."
"If we say that Changsun Wuji is an old fox, His Majesty is the one who is vicious. He uses the old fox's thoughts to maintain balance in the court."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is really a saint. He has done both good and bad things. He used this to win over me and all the achievements in Lishan. In the end, he got everything he wanted. He made plans here. I admire you."
.”
"If I succeed, your Majesty will be able to confiscate a rich family property, and even wield a knife at the aristocratic family. At this point, the aristocratic family will be defeated, and the name of Tian Khan will be resounded throughout the Central Plains. No matter who wins or loses, your majesty will be the one
Winner."
"You have guessed my thoughts, which makes me speechless." Li Shimin said solemnly: "Then what are your plans now?"
When the palace servants serving the royal family walked into the village, the small and big dogs in the village barked one after another, wary of the strangers entering the village.
Zhang Yang took a deep breath while watching this scene, "Did His Royal Highness, King Wei, give the secret recipe for sugar to His Majesty?"
"certainly."
"Then your Majesty is going to make sugar?"
"That's of course."
Zhang Yang suddenly laughed, "Your Majesty, Lishan will no longer produce white sugar in the future, and the name of white sugar has spread throughout Luoyang and even Henan and Hebei. If Your Majesty takes out the white sugar, then all the aristocratic families will know that the sugar comes from His Majesty's hand. What is the hatred here?"
It can be easily resolved."
Li Shimin's originally confident expression froze.
"The government is short of money, and sugar does have huge benefits. As long as your majesty makes sugar and sells it, you can get huge profits. But if you can't eradicate the influence of the family, then the family will always regard your majesty as their enemy. This will
They will remember the grudge for a long time."
"Unless your Majesty holds the secret recipe for white sugar, it will never be produced. You can only watch it but not use it for yourself."
Li Shimin suddenly stood up, breathing heavily and staring at the son-in-law, "You are plotting against me!"
"Your Majesty plotted against me first!"
"Who do you think you are? You learned a few things from Zhang Gongjin, and now you want to plot against me and throw dirty water on me!"
"His Majesty accepted the secret recipe himself. Who forced it? I was so happy that I couldn't sleep the night I got the secret recipe."
Zhang Yang slowly stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I apologize."
Li Shimin stared, listening to his heavy breathing. The surroundings were quiet, except for the laughter and laughter coming from the yard, where the children were playing with the Emperor.
"You bastard! You said those words yourself. I have never thought of dealing with you like this."
"You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others."
"You are my son-in-law, and Yue'er is your wife. You treat those children as your own, but you are always on guard against me!"
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and lowered his voice.
Not long after, Li Lizhi and Li Zhi came out together, and Dongyang also obediently pushed the cart. The cart was filled with food sent by Grandpa Huang.
The smiling faces of the children are in front of you
Zhang Yang added: "I have never dealt with His Majesty like this before. I just gave the secret recipe to Your Majesty and never thought about it."
The child was facing the wall, and Li Shimin suddenly smiled again, "You and I have always been of the same mind. We treat you as our own family. From now on, these children will also be your younger brothers and sisters."
"Your Majesty said that I will definitely take good care of them in the future."
Li Lizhi listened to the conversation between her father and her brother-in-law with a happy smile. A harmonious family is better than anything else.
How wonderful it is that the emperor and his ministers all have smiles on their faces!
With so many children coming out laughing and laughing, only Li Tai noticed the cold murderous intent hidden under his father's smile, and his brother-in-law's expression with a hint of vigilance.
Weng's son-in-law smiled like a knife. This smile was like a knife.
Li Tai felt a chill on the back of his spine, it was terrible.
Zhang Yang saw off Li Shimin's family and then said goodbye to the Emperor.
Walking back to her residence with her daughter-in-law, she turned to look at Lishan, "I really want to live in my new home now. In the future, when my brothers and sisters come to Lishan, I will build more houses for them."
"We can live in it once I repair the drainage ditch. No matter how windy or rainy it is, our new home will stand firm."
Li Yue asked curiously: "What did your husband and father say just now outside the hospital?"
"It's nothing. It just means that our family needs to get along well and I need to take good care of my younger brothers and sisters."
"really?"
Zhang Yang smiled gently, "Look at my sincere eyes."
"Not sincere at all."
Holding his wife's hand, Zhang Yang whispered: "Did you know? Only when you have enough strength can you sit down and negotiate terms with others. Otherwise, you can only accept the slaughter of others."
"So my husband has never given up on firearms research?"
Li Shimin came to the residence arranged by Li Tai. It was still the same place. It could be seen that someone had been cleaning up the place.
Li Lizhi helped her mother pack her clothes, "What did my father and brother-in-law say just now outside the hospital?"
Looking at his daughter, Li Shimin smiled and said: "Your brother-in-law said that when you grow up, you can also live in Lishan, and we will be a family without being unfamiliar with each other."
"Really? My brother-in-law doesn't seem like someone who would say such a thing."
Li Shimin turned his back and the smile froze on his face again, waiting for the queen to leave with the children in the afternoon.
The anger that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out in the emperor's heart, "Shuzi! How dare you threaten me."
Li Shimin was so angry that he went crazy and smashed things in front of him, "Do you think I will be afraid of you? Sooner or later you will be hanged in front of Chengtian Gate, you bastard, you despicable person..."
The prince stood aside and was speechless for a while looking at His Majesty's anger.
"I am the Khan of Heaven! I am respected by thousands of people, you monster with three faces and two hearts!"
