When he walked to the Li Zheng Hall, Zhang Yang put his daughter down and held her hand.
Standing in front of the palace, the prince saw this family and said with a smile: "The county lord, your highness the princess, the little princess."
"Where is your Majesty?" Zhang Yang bowed and saluted.
"Come in!"
A loud voice came from the hall, and Zhang Yang said awkwardly: "Our Majesty is also very energetic this morning."
"Sister Huang!" Li Lizhi ran over quickly. When she saw Xiao Qingqing, she happily picked her up. "It's getting heavier and heavier, and I won't be able to hold you anymore."
Li Lizhi took care of her at home last year, so she is no stranger to her.
Empress Changsun welcomed her out of the palace with a smile, and a group of children surrounded her daughter.
Zhang Yang walked into the palace and looked at His Majesty who was changing into court clothes, and then said to the prince who was following behind him, "On the carriage outside the city were placed some newly harvested rice from Mount Li, as well as jujubes from the Western Regions and some dried fruits."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Go and have someone take you into the palace."
The prince bowed and saluted again, "Here, let's go and make arrangements."
My emperor's father-in-law is not polite after all, I thought to myself...
After the emperor had changed into court clothes, he was about to have breakfast. "Has your family already eaten?"
Zhang Yang nodded, "I woke up early and had my meal before dawn."
"Well, I know your habits. You will never go out with an empty stomach. Even if you really don't have time to eat, you will always bring dry food with you."
Zhang Yang felt something was wrong when he heard the words, "Your Majesty, first of all, I am a human being, this should be a matter of habit."
The emperor bit into a piece of cake, biting it fiercely, "I sometimes wonder if I should outlaw the system."
Suddenly hearing the emperor say this, Zhang Yang's heart skipped a beat. Why did His Majesty suddenly say a proposition? Is this something he can answer?
Li Shimin put down Kuai Zi worriedly, "I am always worried about Guo Zuo."
The prince whispered: "Your Majesty, the time for morning court has arrived."
"Well, I'll go to court now."
Li Shimin stepped out of the Li Zheng Hall, Zhang Yang followed, "Your Majesty, that Tiankhan Avenue..."
"how do you feel?"
"Chaozhong..."
"Zhao Guogong sold 5,000 stones to Lishan and got 2,500 guans. You, Lishan, will still want them in the future, right?"
Zhang Yang suddenly felt a toothache, and the emperor rushed to answer.
Li Shimin walked towards the other entrance of Tai Chi Hall, and Zhang Yang walked towards the main entrance of Tai Chi Hall with worried thoughts.
"Zhang Yang!" Li Chengqian stepped forward first, "Long time no see."
"His Royal Highness, we have indeed not seen each other for a long time."
Cen Wenwen also came over and said, "Shilang Zhang, you look much better."
Zhang Yang looked sad, "Brother Wenwen's words are really interesting. It seems like I didn't look good before."
"Better than before."
Talking to people is a headache. Since his official position has become higher and higher, Zhang Yang has found that talking to people is very difficult.
Especially those who were officials in the same dynasty.
Zhang Yang put his hands in his sleeves, nodded and said: "Xiaguan's complexion may be back to normal at this moment. I feel like if I say a few more words, I will die of anger."
"This..." Li Chengqian stopped talking.
"I really don't want to talk more, and I also want to live a few more years. There is a limit to what a person can say in his life. After he finishes speaking, he will leave." Zhang Yang said with emotion: "God has the virtue of a good life, so please let it go.
"
Li Chengqian and Cen Wenwen looked at each other speechlessly. They wanted to report to him on the progress of the official school this year.
Because it is a very gratifying thing to gather three thousand masters. If each of these three thousand masters can teach fifty students, then the Tang Dynasty can have tens of thousands more scholars.
If more than a hundred of them can participate in the imperial examination, it will be a great thing for the country and the court.
Of course, it is very important for Zhang Yang to popularize education, and he still needs to master the most basic literacy and reading articles.
This requires accumulation over many years, and it is not something that can be achieved overnight. It requires years of precipitation. Results will be achieved within ten years, and achievements will be achieved thirty to fifty years later.
Once a generation of scholars is born, there will be a new generation of people who can read and write together.
Because if a school-age student gets married within ten years, their children will also learn to read and write, and even such a person will have an impact on his neighbors.
This kind of expansion is multiplied. It does not mean counting one by one, but it will be like a drop of ink falling on the clear water, slowly staining the entire bowl of clear water.
These are also the basic undertakings of teaching. The thickness of the foundation determines the height of achievement.
This is also a step for Lishan to open a large academy in the future. Literacy is very important for people to learn skills, expertise and the ability to make a living.
This does not include those old craftsmen who are illiterate but can still master a living skill through experience.
The skills of these people lie in word-of-mouth, precepts and deeds.
The talents that can be cultivated are also limited.
Only by ensuring basic education can we systematically cultivate more technical talents.
If the Central Plains is to develop and the Tang Dynasty is to be prosperous and strong, it cannot be separated from the development of technology and the great cause of teaching.
This is a century-old plan.
Standing outside the Tai Chi Hall, Zhang Yang sighed, feeling that he had a heavy burden on him. Whether the productivity can be improved in the next ten years depends entirely on whether Datang can break through the technical bottleneck.
Surrounded by a large group of civil and military ministers, Zhang Yang felt helpless. No one could help him, and no one could think what he wanted.
At this moment, I felt a great sadness in my heart. It was so difficult for me.
Not long after, Xu Jingzong, Zhang Xiangxiang, and Zhang Xiangxiang, Li Chongyi, and Li Baiyao from the Ministry of Rites also came.
Five ministers from the Ministry of Etiquette stood neatly in front of him.
This is the current team of the Ministry of Rites and the backbone of the Tang Dynasty's diplomacy.
Zhang Yang wrote: "Happy New Year to everyone."
Zhang Xiangxiang led several people to salute together, "I haven't seen you for two months, and Minister Zhang looks much more stable than before."
"Yes, stability is very important, and our diplomatic career must also be stable." Zhang Yang touched the stubble on his chin.
Xu Jingzong stepped forward and whispered: "The battle report came from the Uighurs. The Yinan Khan was defeated in several battles. General Li Ji couldn't stand it, so he led a team into the Uighur territory and wiped out ten of its borders.
Among the five tribes, the Uighur Khan Tumidu did not dare to send troops to fight back, but planned to sue for peace."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Tumidu of the Uighurs was a young khan. He dared to challenge Xue Yantuo but did not dare to challenge the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty.
Under the majesty of Tian Khan, the Uighurs could only shrink their necks. After all, the disastrous defeat of Jieli caused a great psychological shadow on the grassland of Mobei and Monan.
Zhang Yang whispered: "Okay, then he is allowed to surrender and become a vassal, but first he will pay compensation, and then he will collect taxes and build the Hanhai Protectorate."
"Isn't this too cheap for them?"
He surrendered as soon as the Uighurs said they would. The matter of taking in Xue Yantuo Khan was not over yet. It was obviously inappropriate to expose the matter like this.
Several people in the Rites Department were talking quietly.
Cen Wenwen looked surprised and displeased, "Your Highness, didn't he just say that if he said one more word, he would die of anger?"
Li Chengqian shook his head and said nothing.
"It doesn't make sense, he's obviously been talking."
"Maybe he just doesn't want to get involved in official school matters."
"He also said that he was seriously ill and couldn't say much. Now...why isn't he dead?"
The affairs in the court were very complicated. From the time when my father asked Cen Wenwen to take charge of the affairs, he then asked Confucius Kong Yingda to take charge of the official school.
Everyone in the East Palace has been busy working on this matter for more than a year, and finally we have the right direction and some results.
But it’s a lie that I didn’t feel lonely when I received my father’s decree.
Just cut off the East Palace and then intervene in the careers of students all over the world.
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly.
Today's New Year's meeting was half an hour late in the morning. Zhang Yang looked in the distance where his wife was taking her younger brothers and sisters to place paper kites on the other side of the Tai Chi Hall.
The scene is very warm.
Looking back at the ministers in the dynasty, they all looked very worried.
The door of Taiji Hall opened, and many ministers walked in. Zhang Yang walked lazily, holding a wat board in his hand, intending to continue to make jokes, so he pretended to stand here for a long time, and then returned to Lishan to see the progress of Lishan's construction.
.
Shangguan Yi and King Wei are probably too busy at the moment.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" As the prince shouted loudly, all the ministers bowed and saluted.
When Li Shimin sat down, Wang Gonggong shouted again: "Pingshen."
"I heard that Shuofang suffered from a snow disaster this year. The snow was thick enough to bury people. It has been half a month since the disaster was dealt with. I wonder what the situation is now?"
Fang Xuanling replied: "Your Majesty, I came to report yesterday that the management has been effective and will not affect this year's spring plowing."
"Well, do you have any clues about what happened in Luoyang?"
Changsun Wuji stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, Ma Zhou and Sun Shaoqing have sorted out the files and will report to the palace this afternoon."
Li Shimin nodded slowly.
Several civil servants stood up and said, "Your Majesty, now that the Western Region has been pacified and surrendered, Tubo has become a vassal, and the Central Plains are stable and full of people, I would like to invite your Majesty to go to Mount Tai and report to God, so as to rectify your name and enshrine it!"
Finally someone talked about Taishan Fengchan.
Throughout the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's reputation as Khan of Heaven was indeed good.
The surrender of all barbarians and the coming of all nations to the dynasty fully demonstrated the status of the Tang Dynasty as a world power at that time.
But Li Shimin, the first Khan of the Tang Dynasty, never went to Mount Tai in his entire life.
It is said that the time, place and people are favorable.
Just at this time, the drought in the early years of Zhenguan made Guanzhong's originally small population even worse.
Although he survived the natural disaster and talked about harmony, Li Shimin's succession to the throne was unfair, and he was scolded at that time.
After years of hard work, I have finally restored a lot of reputation.
It's just that with this beginning, there is no difference between human beings and superiors.
Li Shimin closed his eyes and said slowly: "I will think about it carefully, and you don't need to mention this matter anymore."
Several civil servants saw this and had to retreat.
The enshrinement of Mount Tai was a very grand event. It was the glory that Emperor Qin and Han Wu once had, and it was also the most glorious moment in the emperor's life.
Even Wu Zhao did not dare to enshrine Zen on Mount Tai.
But later, after the matter of consecrating Mount Tai was ruined by a certain emperor of the Song Dynasty, no emperor ever went to Mount Tai to consecrate it.
The situation is the situation, and the merit is the merit.
Li Shimin did not directly agree or refuse, but Zheng Gong stood aside and said nothing.
Zhang Yang stood as if in trance. He had gone to court for a long time and developed an occupational disease of sleeping early in the morning.
Looking at the general, someone is swaying and sleeping while standing up.
Everyone has just finished their leisurely life, and returning to work all of a sudden still requires the biological clock to adapt.
Zhang Yang simply closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
The sounds in his ears started to be loud, and when the surrounding sounds started to become noisy, Zhang Yang slowly opened his eyes.
Zheng Gong and Fang Xiangzheng looked at themselves, and then glanced at the officials in the palace who were leaving in twos and threes.
Zhang Yang rubbed his eyes, "Have you already gone to court?"
Wei Zheng struggled and said: "On the first day of the court, you fell asleep like this. You really don't know whether to live or die."
"Mr. Zheng misunderstood."
"Misunderstood?"
"Well, it's the same when I think about life."
Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "Then you can tell me what you have learned about your life?"
Zhang Yang bowed and replied: "My bear knows how to plow the land, but the cows in the village have gone crazy recently."
"..."
Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng were silent for a long time, thinking that he would say something about his life insights, even if he just found a way to talk about it.
He even mentioned a bear and a cow.
Does this have anything to do with his life?
Li Chengqian came in a hurry, "Father has made arrangements outside the Xingqing Hall, and also invited Zheng Gong, the Prime Minister and Zhao Guogong to discuss matters outside the hall."
Wei Zheng nodded and said, "Some things really should be discussed carefully."
Zhang Yang saluted and said, "Then I will take my leave first."
"Wait a minute." Li Chengqian said again: "Father, the emperor has said that the matter with Luoyang's son is serious, and Zhang Shilang will also go to discuss it."
Zhang Yang stopped and looked back in confusion, "What does the matter in Luoyang have to do with me, Du Zhilang?"
"Go if you are told. There are many young officials in the court who want this opportunity, so why don't you ask me to break your legs and drag you away?"
After walking out of the Tai Chi Hall, Zhang Yang walked behind Zheng Gong. Following the prince were Zhao Guogong, Fang Xiang, Chu Suiliang, Cen Wenwen, Liu Zi, Zhang Xingcheng and other important officials in the court.
At this moment in Xingqing Hall, Li Yue and the Queen are in the hall.
The daughter-in-law was teaching the children. Zhang Yang glanced at it and then looked away, "Mr. Zheng, our village made a lot of bacon last year and we couldn't finish it all at once. I'll send you some."
As soon as he finished speaking, the prime minister coughed.
Zhang Yang added: "Send some to the prime minister as well."
Tables were placed in front of him. After everyone took their seats, Zhang Yang found that there were not many seats, so he had to stand with Cen Wenwen.
The Central Government has been paying close attention to the affairs in Luoyang and has not relaxed since last year.
It concerns the court's attitude towards the aristocratic family, and must be handled with caution.
It was said that Ma Zhou and Sun Fujia had not yet formally reported the matter, but the emperor already knew the ins and outs of the matter.
Maybe Changsun Wuji knew the situation more carefully than the emperor. After all, he was the closest to various clans and clans, and he was also one of Li Shimin's biggest arms in handling personal connections.
Faced with such a major problem, Zhang Yang listened carefully and realized that it would be best to be a good person and remain motionless.
Don't interrupt at this time, stay calm.
Li Shimin whispered: "Sun Shaoqing said that the money defrauded in Luoyang has disappeared directly."
Hearing this, Zhang Yang suddenly woke up, and his withered body mechanically turned to look at the emperor.
