Chapter 770: The Ministry of Rites are all fierce people
Zhang Yang patted the door of his brothers and sisters' rooms, woke them all up, and looked at their listless faces.
"Hurry up and wash up and eat. After noon, there will be physical education class."
When they heard it was a physical education class, the younger brothers and sisters howled loudly. They hated physical education class the most.
Li Zhi said aggrievedly: "Brother-in-law's physical education class is too torturous."
Gao Yang nodded feebly and washed his head with his head down.
Yan Liben had someone send him a skeletal portrait, which was painted by his younger brother Yan Lide.
Zhang Yang was very satisfied with this painting. Many details were painted, even cracks on the bones.
Aunt Yang added: "Yan Liben asked someone to tell him not to let them draw these things again."
Zhang Yang spoke of the painting with satisfaction, "I didn't expect our painters from the Tang Dynasty to have such attainments. Their painting skills are really impressive."
Aunt Yang added: "Yan Lide also wants to paint portraits of the heroes who climbed Lingyan Pavilion. It is said that every painting is like a real person."
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Has Taoist Yuan found a burial place for the bones?"
"Taoist priest Yuan said that Lishan Mountain is a good land. It would be better to find a piece of land at the southern foot facing south. Moreover, no one has claimed this body."
These soldiers who followed Yang Guangdong to conquer Goguryeo, perhaps they themselves had thought that they died fighting for their country in a foreign land, and no one came to collect their bones.
Zhang Yang stood up and looked at the skeleton, "Brother, I will bury you, and we will be neighbors from now on."
Aunt Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly. She could talk to a dead person about being neighbors. Only a county prince could say such a thing.
Zhang Yang put the skeleton on the cart and walked towards the south of Lishan Mountain.
At the southern foot of Lishan Mountain, Zhang Yang found an open place. He swung his hoe and started digging the ground. He also said: "Brother, I don't know your name. I will set up a monument for you. It will be written on the Tomb of the Soldiers of the Eastern Expedition. You
You won’t mind.”
A warm wind blew by, making the pine trees in the mountain forest rustle.
Zhang Yang buried it in the pit, found a good-sized stone, knocked the four corners flat, took out the chisel and started carving.
Finally, engrave: Yours sincerely, Zhang Yang.
"I don't know how long this county prince can last. I won't engrave my name and official position. So you will live in Lishan from now on. I will come to see you every year during the holidays."
Zhang Yang erected the stone monument alone, paid homage to it, poured wine in front of the stone monument, and placed the remaining half bottle of wine beside the monument.
"Brother, I'm going home first."
After that, Zhang Yang walked up the mountain with his head held high. After eating, his younger brothers and sisters gathered by the Huaqing Pool and got ready for physical education class.
"Line up and stand still!"
After hearing the brother-in-law's order, they lined up neatly from tallest to smallest.
Zhang Yang said again: "Report the number!"
"one two three……"
After the younger brothers and sisters reported their numbers and confirmed that there was no difference in the number of people, Zhang Yang took out a small notebook and said, "It has been a month since the last physical fitness test. Today we will still test our physical fitness. First, we will run five laps around Huaqing Pool."
"ah?"
"Brother-in-law! I can't run..."
Listening to their wails, Zhang Yang was indifferent, with a stern smile on his face, "Whoever dares to escape should clean the bear's den."
A group of children had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow their brother-in-law's footsteps and start running around Huaqing Pool.
Taking advantage of the nice weather, Li Yue wanted to take out all the books in the library to dry, "Li Zhi, go and open all the windows in the library."
"Yes." Li Lizhi put down the book in response and walked back to the library.
Today's morning court had not ended at noon. As Zhang Daan expected, Wen Ting's actions in Silla and Baekje were known to the court.
An envoy from Baekje personally came to Tang Dynasty to complain and told Wen Ting's crimes. This man was massacred in Baekje. For a time, blood flowed everywhere and the river was dyed red.
The killings so frightened the people of Baekje that even King Yiji of Baekje was captured by Wen Ting.
Hearing the news, Xu Jingzong also took a breath of cold air. Warrior! A real warrior. He led the troops by himself and captured the King of Baekje.
Although Baekje is not a big place, it is still big.
There were endless quarrels over this matter, and only the Baekje envoy cried.
There is also a military report at the moment, which is that Wang Xuance borrowed troops from Tubo and took 10,000 Tubo people, 3,000 troops from the Western Regions, and 300 Guanzhong disciples to attack Tianzhu.
I don't know how the war is going now. I only found out about it after hearing the battle report from Tibet.
Li Shimin listened to the news with an expressionless face. The Ministry of Rites is really full of talents, and all of them have unique skills. How dare one person attack Baekje?
And is Wang Xuance really invincible? One man with ten thousand soldiers and horses is going to destroy Tianzhu?
Zhang Yang’s tricks... are really unbelievable.
County Marquis, County Marquis, what kind of stall have you left for Xiaguan? Xu Jingzong thought to himself and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The people in the Ministry of Rites are really more fierce than the last, and they are good at fighting and governing, just like Pei Xingjian in Persia...
Liu Ji stood up and said to the squad: "Your Majesty, this Wen Ting was the escort arranged by the Ministry of Rites in Liaodong. This person was ordered to build the Andong Protectorate. He should fulfill his duties, but he secretly led troops to attack Baekje! If we don't add
If punished severely, the Ministry of Rites will only continue to act recklessly."
Hearing this, Xu Jingzong's scalp tightened, and he cursed in his heart, Liu Jie, after all, your surname is Changsun.
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Xu Jingzong, please tell me."
Seeing that His Majesty had given him a chance to defend himself, Xu Jingzong walked out of the courtroom with understanding and a calm expression, and replied: "Your Majesty, the righteous and kind king of Baekje was an unrighteous king. He ruled the people under his rule and made life miserable. He was absurd and corrupt. He favored villains such as Eun Go and others. What's more,
Many old officials of Baekje were exiled, and this person imprisoned the admonishment officials and made several disrespectful remarks to the Tang Dynasty."
Turning his head, Xu Jingzong looked at the Baekje envoy and said loudly: "This envoy, is what I said is correct?"
The messenger was kneeling on the ground, as if lying on his stomach, his clothes were in tatters and shivering. He hesitated and said: "Yes... yes."
Xu Jingzong turned around and said: "Your Majesty, our Ministry of Rites upholds Zhang Shangshu's ambition and works hard for peace in the world and peace in the world."
Liu Jie snorted coldly: "You have killed Baekje and it is bleeding like a river, and you still keep saying it is for peace and peace? What a big joke!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Liu Jie!" Xu Jingzong choked immediately: "Don't try to frame our Ministry of Rites. Wen Ting's crusade against Baekje is what the people want, and crusade against King Yiji is
As an act of justice, I, the Great Tang Dynasty, should destroy such people who bring harm to the country and the people, as a warning to others!"
"As a warning to others? Xu Jingzong, you have such a loud tone. I think you are just making excuses for the massacre. If all the countries think that we, the Tang Dynasty, are like tigers and wolves, how will we come to court in the future?"
"Fart! Our country, the Tang Dynasty, is so powerful that small countries all regard the Tang Dynasty as their superior country. How dare they not come?"
"If you don't come, we will destroy them, right?"
Xu Jingzong pointed at him and said loudly: "Liu Jie! Don't bully others too much."
In the court hall, the two of them were arguing loudly, as if they were swearing, and they were about to start a fight.
"That's enough!" Li Shimin finally shouted.
They both stopped talking at the same time and bowed.
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Then King Yiji of Baekje really did such nonsense?"
Xu Jingzong said quickly: "Your Majesty, since Zhang Shangshu has led the Ministry of Rites to preside over the diplomatic relations between countries, he has never sent troops without reason."
Liu Jie said: "Oh, aren't we sending troops for no reason? I think you are good at collecting charges."
Xu Jingzong jumped to his feet and shouted angrily: "Liu Jie, you are making such nonsense again that a certain family will fight with you."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Fang Xuanling also had black lines all over her head.
Li Shimin shook his head and sighed, the atmosphere in the court has really gotten worse recently.
Li Yifu walked out of the courtroom and said: "Your Majesty, now that Wen Ting has captured King Yici, it is better to take him to Chang'an City for trial. The right and wrong will naturally be clear."
Ma Zhou also stood up from the court and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you must not just listen to what the Ministry of Rites says. The court should send officials to see if what the Ministry of Rites says is true or false."
Gao Jifu, a member of Zhongshushe, immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think there is no need to make such troublesome arrangements. To understand the rights and wrongs involved, we only need to summon the Baekje villagers."
There was a lot of discussion in the court, but the military commander was the only one who was silent.
The morning court has arrived, and everyone is hungry. Seeing a few civil servants chattering incessantly, the generals are very troubled and want to beat them up.
Liu Jie added: "Your Majesty, no matter how immoral King Yiji of Baekje is, it is a fact that Wen Ting killed too many people."
Li Yifu gritted his teeth and couldn't bear it anymore. He yelled, "Thief, do you have any evidence?"
"Who are you calling a thief?" Liu Jie's forehead had veins popping out.
Li Shimin closed his eyes and refused to watch the noisy scene.
Changsun Wuji said solemnly: "Your Majesty, just follow what Gao Jifu said, Ma Zhou can arrange for the censor to send someone to Baekje to inquire."
"Um."
His Majesty nodded, and everyone stopped talking. Li Yifu glanced at the Baekje envoy and walked back to the court.
Li Shimin took out a battle report and said, "Wang Xuance led the Tibetan troops to attack Tianzhu. Liang Jianfang sent another battle report saying that Pei Xingjian was unable to escape due to the war. What do you think?"
Speaking of this matter, it was Xu Jingzong who stepped forward again. As the Minister of Rites, he was too busy. He had been away from home for several days recently. His wife at home even suspected that he had an extra wife.
He felt aggrieved and didn't know where to start. He had to answer His Majesty's questions. He added with a grimace: "Your Majesty, General Liang Jianfang's worry is that the cannibals will come back in the autumn. People from Tianzhu rushed to help the cannibals first.
With this crusade, this is a battle to establish the power of the Tang Dynasty and should not be underestimated."
Li Shimin frowned and said: "So Liang Jianfang is worried that the cannibals will mobilize their troops in the autumn, and Wang Xuance and Pei Xingjian will be unable to cope with it alone?"
Xu Jingzong bowed and said: "That's exactly it."
Speaking of increasing troops to the west, it is His Majesty's intention. Whether Liang Jianfang needs reinforcements or not, His Majesty's wishes must be followed.
Li Yifu admired Xu Jingzong even more from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing Li Shimin's gaze turned towards the military general again, Li Daliang stood up and said to the squad: "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead troops to assist Liang Jianfang and Wang Xuancheng's various ministries."
Niu Jinda also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the general is willing to go."
Seeing more and more military generals standing up to the court, Li Shimin put away his gaze and asked again: "auxiliary aircraft, what do you think?"
Changsun Wuji said again: "Your Majesty, I think this matter needs to be discussed separately."
"It's still open for discussion!" Cheng Yaojin shouted: "The Great Cannibal will mobilize troops in the fall, and Liang Jianfang only brings these troops, and he doesn't care about their lives."
Changsun Wuji said with a dark face: "It is precisely because the Western Expedition is so closely related that we need to discuss it."
"Persia will fall if we continue to discuss it."
"The old man doesn't know how much food, money and wages are. He wants to send troops when he opens his mouth. He doesn't know what to say."
"Old Changsun!" Cheng Yaojin pushed aside Qin Qiong's blocking hand and rushed forward to fight with Changsun Wuji.
Li Shimin held his forehead in distress, and there was a huge quarrel in the court.
This court meeting can no longer be held.
As expected, after His Majesty left.
Under the influence of the old and new grudges between the Ministry of Rites and the Zhongshu Province, as well as military generals and civil servants, fighting broke out again in the Tai Chi Hall.
What will happen to the Tang Dynasty?
In Lishan, Zhang Yang received a contract from the Zhongshu Province and paid the fee of 500,000 guan in iron materials and coal.
The emperor could not afford 500,000 yuan, but Li Shimin, who had great power, had plenty of resources.
When the whistle of the steam engine sounded, Lishan was finally able to produce at full capacity.
Li Yue put this contract into a box and placed it on the top of his bookshelf. This was an important contract that allowed Lishan production to be worry-free.
Little Qingqing is riding her little bicycle to her father's workshop.
Zhang Yang was doing the final steps on a primer device. When he saw his daughter coming, he frowned and said, "Are you hungry?"
She screeched on her little bicycle and asked, "Dad, the Tang Dynasty is about to march westward."
Zhang Yang took off his gloves, took off his apron and picked her up, "Well, if the Tang Dynasty wants to be strong, it needs to conquer the West."
"Will the Western Expedition make us stronger?"
"Well, this world is very big, and there are many treasures in this world. The more treasures we get, the greater the Tang's national power will become. Today's Turkic people in the Western Regions are proud to be Tang people."
"Dad, I also want to go to war!"
"Okay, where do you want to attack?"
"Chang'an!"
She answered without thinking.
Zhang Yang's smile froze on his face. If you want to blame him, it's his mother who went around looking for a teacher for this child.
Now Li Yuan teaches her rebellion, Hongfu Nu teaches her martial arts, and General Li Jing occasionally teaches her the art of war.
Her teacher Zhang Gongjin taught her strategy, and she also learned culture from Mr. Ouyang Xun.
She has too many teachers, and this child only wants to bomb the city of Chang'an.
Zhang Yang added: "The emperor is in Chang'an City. He is your grandfather and your mother's father. How can you fight your own family?"
Xiao Qingqing leaned on her father's arm and whispered: "They bully Lishan."
"One day, daddy will help you bully you back."
"Really?"
The child was hesitant, with doubt in his eyes, which soon turned into disbelief.
Zhang Yang walked out of the workshop with his daughter in his arms and said patiently: "You are still young and cannot lead troops to fight."
"I will grow up, hum!" She turned around and struggled, breaking away from her father's arms, and went to take care of her younger brother again.
My son, Xiao An, is learning to walk and can barely run a few steps now.
Lishan could not be bullied. It seemed that a merchant had sued Lishan carelessly, but Cheng Chumo secretly sent someone to investigate.
The power of the masses is powerful. People keep coming to report the news, and the people behind it are dug out step by step.
The biggest advantage of the Braised Pork Gang is its mass base, because the members of the gang are all heroic people who punish rape and eliminate evil.
