Xu Jingzong poured wine into the bowl and sighed: "If he doesn't even have the courage to make this decision, how can he talk about his future?"
Di Zhisun added: "I thought that it would be inevitable to form cliques in the court, so I came to join him as soon as possible. Moreover, he is your disciple Xu Jingzong, which is actually quite good. He is very savvy."
"I arranged for this child to stay at Taifu Temple. I have read his examination papers."
Di Zhisun nodded in understanding, "Oh, you are so scheming."
"Hahaha! It would be a pity to leave such a talent to others."
The Marquis of Lishan County was seriously ill. Upon receiving His Majesty's order, Lu Zhaolin reluctantly came to Lishan.
He hurried to the medical clinic to ask questions. None of the doctors here knew about the county prince's illness.
Suspicious in his heart, he found the King of Wei and after questioning, he saw the county prince south of Lishan Mountain.
Seeing Zhang Yangzheng setting up a big net, Lu Zhaolin asked curiously: "What is the county prince doing?"
"Catch the bird."
"Bird?"
"We have too many sparrows in Lishan, and bird droppings are always falling down." Zhang Yang looked back after hearing this, "Lu Yizheng! Long time no see."
Lu Zhaolin observed his words and expressions for a while, then bowed and said: "The county prince doesn't look like he is sick. Why did he resign because of illness?"
"I'm sick. In fact, I'm seriously ill."
"County Marquis!" Lu Zhaolin stood up straight, with a bit of anger on his face, "After so many years, you still want to tease me."
Zhang Yang sighed: "I have a mental illness, commonly known as heart disease. I am plagued by heart disease."
"You!" Lu Zhaolin was so angry that she was trembling all over and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute." Zhang Yang smiled dryly and held him back, "Lu Yizheng, I have known you for so many years, so don't make yourself unhappy just because of your anger."
Lu Zhaolin frowned, raised his head and looked helpless, and said: "Actually, before I came here, I had thought that the county prince was probably pretending to be ill again this time."
"My original intention was to resign to His Majesty, and I had no intention of disturbing Dr. Lu."
Lu Zhaolin sat down discouraged, "Why bother?"
Zhang Yang sat aside, crossing his legs and looking at his newly weaved net.
Ever since the tea incident was unpleasant, Lu Zhaolin could not say he admired Zhang Yang, nor did he dislike him.
The construction of Lishan Medical Center recruited so many doctors, such as Cui Zhidi, Zhen Quan and others.
However, they are all doctors who treat illnesses and save people, and they do so voluntarily, so there is nothing to worry about.
Times have changed, and so many years have passed.
"Seeing that the county prince looks so good, I will leave first."
"Walk slowly."
Zhang Yang said goodbye with a smile.
Lu Zhaolin sighed as he walked.
The next day, Li Shimin listened to Lu Zhaolin's report and said with a smile: "So he is indeed pretending to be ill."
"Xiaguan concluded at that time that the county lord was pretending to be ill. He admitted it and said it was just a mental illness."
"Did he ask anything else?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I didn't ask anything else."
Li Shimin coughed, his face flushed, and he took a deep breath before calming down, "Thank you for your help."
Lu Zhao had a worried look on his neighbor's face, and he saluted and said, "I take my leave."
Many people have resigned recently, such as Su Dingfang, Yang Shidao, Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, etc.
"Your Majesty, Shangguan Yi is here."
"Let him in."
Shangguan Yi's footsteps were very light and slow as he walked into the palace and handed over a memorial, "Your Majesty, Lishan has been selected as a model worker county among the twelve counties in Chang'an City. This is the specific charter."
Li Shimin walked up to him personally, took the memorial and looked at it.
Shangguan Yi explained: "Lishan's evaluation conditions are based on production and operation and county people's evaluation, which involves the level of management ability and governance level. These county officials recruited many students who failed last year and let them
Help the county do things."
Seeing the emperor nod, Shangguan Yi added: "Local governance is related to the promotion of county magistrates, and Lishan's labor model county evaluation has classified the governance capabilities of each county, and the court can use this to select county magistrates.
"
"Can I use Lishan's evaluation method to determine the promotion of officials?"
Shangguan Yi replied: "Your Majesty, official promotion often depends on rumors and reports, but the ability of county officials in each county is still high and low. If a county official does not have enough ability, he will naturally be weaker than others in governance."
"This not only depends on the conduct of people, but also on ability. Lishan has always chosen people based on ability. I have experienced it deeply in Lishan for many years. A person's ability has nothing to do with his origin or his life experience."
Li Shimin sat down again, took a sip of hot tea, and said in a deep voice: "Can this method be used in all parts of Guanzhong?"
"I thought it would take a few more years to make a final conclusion."
"Okay." Li Shimin closed the memorial, "From today on, you will be appointed as the prefect of Jingzhao, and will be in charge of the twelve counties of Chang'an and the twenty-four counties of Zuofu. I will give you one year to see the results."
"Here." Shangguan Yi bowed and said, "I take my leave."
"That's right." Li Shimin suddenly said: "Zhang Yang claims to be ill and wants to resign. You go and see him on my behalf. You are also an old member of Lishan."
"I'll go right away."
Shangguan Yi bowed and exited the Manlu Hall.
As Xu Jingzong and the King of Jin said, the location of Jingzhao Mansion was not suitable for Pei Xingjian.
Pei Xingjian will be moved to another position sooner or later, and will also have a place in the army, and will not always be the governor of Jingzhao.
It's a pity that such a talent stays in Jingzhao Mansion.
Just as they said, His Majesty deliberately placed me in the position of Jingzhao Mansion.
When Shangguan Yi walked out of the imperial city, he met an eunuch. He bowed and said, "Shang Guan Fu Yin, Your Majesty forgot your order. I have a decree to go to Lishan Mountain to read out."
"Well, you go there with me."
In Lishan, just after seeing off Lu Zhaolin, Shangguan Yi came again.
Zhang Yang was taking the birds off the net one by one by the Weishui River, putting them into bamboo baskets, and then releasing the birds further away.
When he caught sight of Shangguan Yi, he asked, "How are you doing lately?"
"I heard that the county lord is ill?"
"Those are all excuses to resign. Shangguan Yi doesn't need to make fun of me. His Majesty didn't agree."
"Your Majesty just asked Xiaguan to come and visit. Xiaguan is now the governor of Jingzhao."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The eunuch on the side took out the yellow silk and read: "The Marquis of Lishan County must be personally involved in everything when he is the minister of Taifu Temple. Today, Guanzhong has abundant crops and sufficient warehouses, pumpkins, grapes
, the cultivation of courgettes and other crops has been successful. The contribution of these crops should be given to a thousand acres of land, and the title of official should be granted. He can go to the palace to directly report, without any need to report."
After reading this eunuch, he left.
Zhang Yang received the decree and was given the title of official official. As for the thousand acres of land he was given, he didn't know where it came from.
We still have to wait for the documents from the DPRK to come down.
"Brother Shangguan is laughing at me. If I can't resign, I will have another official title."
"Marquis of the county, Your Majesty's move is to hope that the marquis of the county will not resign easily. This is the time when the government is employing people."
"People say that Lishan is very close to Tianjia. People like this will not end well."
Shangguan Yi consoled him: "The county prince is just following what others say."
"Now that you are the governor of Jingzhao and hold the official position of Chang'an Order, what will Pei Xingjian do?"
"Your Majesty will make further arrangements when they return from the Northern Expedition."
Zhang Yang handed the bird in the bamboo basket to a nearby villager and asked as he walked: "How are you doing?"
"It's all very good. I feel comfortable in the official office of Jingzhao Mansion, and I don't have to worry about other people's opinions."
Shangguan Yi said again: "Dizhixun is back. This time he is back to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. His Majesty has made arrangements. After the beginning of the court this year, he will be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He will be the Minister of the Ministry of Finance of the Three Provinces and Six Ministries in the Central Government. The County Marquis will be Zuocheng, one of the six ministers.
Among them are the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Hubu, both of whom belong to the Lishan line."
"There are also Xu Jingzong from Zhongshu Province, Li Yifu from Honglu Temple and others, as well as Pei Xingjian in the army, and even lower officials. People in the court said that although the county marquis is not in the court, the power of the Lishan line is more
Big."
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "The more powerful I am, the less some people want me to resign."
"The county prince is in his prime. He has just turned thirty. He is at his peak age. How can he retire at this time?"
"I'm not talking about Your Majesty, I'm talking about another powerful relative in the court."
"Is it Duke Zhao?"
Zhang Yang nodded silently.
Shangguan Yi considered it and said: "The situation in the DPRK is becoming more and more complicated. Changsun Wuji is a relative, and Lishan is even more of a relative. The two sides can still be balanced. The courtiers are well aware that the Lishan family and the Zhao Guogong family have never been in harmony. It seems that they are serving from the county marquis.
The Minister of Rites began."
"Yes, after so many years, Xu Jingzong, Chu Suiliang, and Tang Shanzhi are still incompatible with each other."
Shangguan Yi put his hands on his back and kept nodding as he followed the footsteps, "The court needs balance. The county marquis came from the Ministry of Rites, and step by step until now, Lishan's foundation is not as deep as Zhao Guogong, but there are more young talents in the Lishan line."
"One thing is going one way and the other is going up. In less than ten years, Lishan will be in power. Most of Zhao Guogong's subordinates are supported by the old people of the Qin Palace. The talents in Lishan's hands are younger and have cleaner backgrounds."
"Although Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu and others act arrogantly, His Majesty appreciates them even more. Once the county princes leave the court, Zhao Guogong and his family will become more unscrupulous, and the balance will be broken..."
Zhang Yang walked aimlessly, waiting for his son to come back from class in Chang'an City.
Not far away, Li Yue was also chatting with several women in the village. She gave some old clothes from home to the village women, which were clothes that the children could not wear. This was done before, and it is done now.
.
If someone's children are younger than Qingqing and Xin'an, they will give clothes to their families. They are all fine silks and satins and cannot be wasted like this.
After hearing what he said, Zhang Yang stood still at the entrance of the village, looked in the direction of Chang'an City and whispered: "You said so much, do you want to warn me that resigning easily will put Lishan in a more disadvantageous position?
Will it make His Majesty suspicious?"
"The county prince should think twice before acting."
"Didn't Duke Zhao often resign?"
Shangguan Yi was about to speak but stopped, so he could only say: "This is different."
Zhang Yang scratched the stubble on his chin and said, "One day, Zhao Guo and I will agree to resign together. This will always put His Majesty at ease."
Finally, he saw a carriage heading towards the village. When it got close, Zhang Xin'an jumped out of the carriage lively, "Dad! The prime minister talked a lot with the child today."
While Zhang Yang was talking to Shangguan Yi, he said indifferently: "You report to your mother."
"Hey!" He ran happily again, "Mom!"
Li Yue frowned and looked at him, her eyes falling on the loess on his clothes, her eyes filled with displeasure.
Zhang Yang looked back, "Huh? Brother Shangguan? What did you just say?"
Shangguan Yi smiled with emotion, "It is enviable for a county prince to have such a family."
Zhang Yang stood up and said, "It's getting late, so you should go back early. I'll be very busy and won't see any guests."
Shangguan Yi smiled and saluted, "Don't worry, Marquis of the County, Jingzhao Mansion will fully support Lishan's construction of Guanzhong."
As he was talking, he saw the county marquis hugging his son and holding his daughter with one hand. The family's warmth was really not willing to be broken.
Shangguan Yi smiled heartily and strode back to Chang'an City.
In February of the 18th year of Zhenguan, this year's imperial meeting was very lively. Tubo, Turks, and other lands in the Western Regions were all incorporated into the Tang Dynasty and were governed by state capitals. Three hundred religious masters went to various places to teach and educate the people in various places.
The Tang Dynasty's education support business has once again increased its efforts. This time, it is not just all over the Central Plains, but the education support business has begun to be out of control.
Four years have passed since the last time the royal city of Goguryeo was conquered. The King of Goguryeo abdicated. From then on, Goguryeo officially became a state and county of the Tang Dynasty. The four counties of Liaodong in the Han Dynasty were restored and Goguryeo County was established.
There are fewer old faces in the court, and there are more young and new faces.
Envoys from various countries came to see him, including those from Persia and those from Gauls.
The Uighur tribes asked Tian Khan to add their territories to the Tang Dynasty.
Good news came repeatedly from Mobei. After the recitation of a decree was completed, Xue Yantuo officially died and disappeared from the map surrounding the Tang Dynasty.
The territory of the Tang Dynasty was reformed again. This time the map was larger and more vast.
Zhang Yang was looking at the memorials sent from the DPRK one after another, confirming the news one after another.
The Institute of Technology sent another practical report on the second experimental water blasting, and this time there was an additional person named Pei Yan on the list.
"What is the emperor thinking about now?"
Li Yue mended his clothes and said, "It's probably Lishan's idea."
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "The emperor is evil-minded."
"Our steam engine was stumbling during transportation. It is said that it almost sank into the Yangtze River. At least it was sent to Jiangnan East Road. I'm counting the days when the steam engine sent to Liaodong should also arrive." Li Yue looked at his mended clothes and said.
: "My husband has occupied the country of Nanzhao. The court has repeatedly mentioned that my father has always wanted our family to hand over Nanzhao."
Zhang Yang looked at the tea in front of him, "Now what he is thinking about is how to exchange for Nanzhao with the minimum cost. The same is true for Lishan. Everyone is thinking about using the minimum cost to obtain the maximum benefit."
Xiao Wu hurriedly took three volumes of letters and put them on the table, "Master, Lantian County, Huayin County, and Xinfeng County are all willing to listen to Lishan. As long as we Lishan say a word, they are willing to stop work, on the condition that the goods will be shipped out in the future.
When the time comes, give them more shares."
Zhang Yang smiled with satisfaction, "You see, no matter how confident Tian Khan is in his personal charm, there are still people who are willing to betray him."
Xiaohui also came in a hurry, "Master, teacher, the parts made in the factory have arrived."
