Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 292

As the leader of the Tang Dynasty, Second Master Li has been very busy recently. He didn't want to hold a meeting or give a report. It seems that no one is qualified to listen to his report these days.However, as an emperor, in order to reflect the responsibilities assigned to him by the heavens, Second Master Li still has to report to the heavens at the end of each year, and this is what he has been busy with for a while.The descendants of Li Erye continued this habit very well. They chose a sunny day at the end of the year to walk out of the south gate of Chang'an to worship the heaven and the earth together.Later, Mr. Du Fu even wrote "Three Rituals" to praise Li Longji's heels. He felt very happy to be praised. Li Longji met Mr. Du along the way, and rewarded Cao Junjun as a soldier.Bing Cao joined the army in the eighth rank, one of the six Caos, and was in charge of military defense, post, and support. According to the words of later generations, Mr. Du became the head of the post office, and he took charge of the guard of honor along the way.Mr. Du, who originally wanted to do something practical, got caught up in the next one. Mr. Li Longji only wanted to enjoy himself, and suffered successive defeats. His daughter-in-law and wife's godson rebelled...so there was an extra song "Family Letter Arrives" The verse of Wanjin" has been passed down through the ages...

Li Erye didn't know that he had such a great-grandson who ruined the Tang Dynasty's thousands of miles of land. If he could predict in hindsight, wouldn't he know that he would strangle Wu Meiniang to death?Or suffocate Li Zhi to death?This corner is too tricky, and the title of "Dirty Tang" is not groundless...

The ignorant are the happiest. At this time, Second Master Li was sitting on the dragon chair and listening to the reports from his eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Zheng. A big piece of fat."

"At the end of the day, Jin returned to Tang with the help of His Majesty. Without His Majesty's timely reward, things would not have gone so smoothly." Changsun Wuji reported what he saw to Li Erye, and also passed on Jin Yu's goodwill Come over: "Jin Gui Tang originally intended to take [-] catties of jade and potato seeds. After receiving the reward, he told the old minister that he would dedicate the [-] catties of jade and potato seeds to the court, and the court would distribute them. Participate."

"This kid is quite interesting." Second Master Li continued to nod in satisfaction, and said to Wei Zheng who was stern-faced: "Wei Aiqing, it's hard for Wei Aiqing to be dragged by Guitang to be a witness."

"I don't dare." Wei Zheng replied: "This kind of witness is very happy, I don't care about my own reputation, I only hope that my Tang Dynasty will have a few more talents like Jin Guitang."

"Oh? He's a man of talent, not to mention that he's insulting to the businessman?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the production of yams and potatoes is well known. No matter who buys them, the common people will eventually plant them. The rent collection ratio is fixed. After a year of hard work, the common people will always have more surplus food in their hands to support them. A few people. If everyone has the talent to return from the Jin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, our Tang Dynasty will surely make the country rich and the people safe, the four barbarians will come to be king, and the world will return to its heart." Wei Zheng explained solemnly.Although Jinyu cooks well, he really doesn't approve of Jinyu's business practices, but he watched the whole process of Jinyu's auction, and he also has a copy of the signed contract. He went home and studied it carefully, and found that There are a lot of articles here, which can not only drive employment, but also increase the income of the people. If you want to say that it suffers, the only one who suffers is Goguryeo after its food source is cut off.

"Aiqing makes sense." Second Master Li nodded thoughtfully. Since ancient times, he has emphasized agriculture and suppressed businessmen, but it still cannot be avoided that high-status farmers work for low-status merchants.Last time, Gao Ming excitedly handed over the plan to himself, which is actually very good and can promote the development of agriculture, but there is no environment to implement it. How can we find a suitable method to solve this problem?Li Erye had a headache, and Jin Guitang thought of a second way to cheat Goguryeo, so can he solve this problem?

Li Erye has always been very curious about what kind of teacher can teach students like Jin Guitang. Li Daozong was ordered to make an unannounced visit along the route of Jinyu to Tang to find his so-called clan. A few days ago, a memorial finally came, and he talked eloquently. How difficult the process is, the final result is only three words - not found!

The people sent by Li Daozong found Loulan and Korla all the way, and some people even went to Aksu and Kashgar. They found countless businessmen and local herdsmen, and asked if they knew that there was such an oasis in the desert, and whether they had seen anyone returning from the desert. very strange people.All the people who were questioned looked crazy and told him very clearly: there is nothing in the desert, and people have gone in it before, and they basically died of thirst on the road, and they have never seen anyone come out.

After Li Daozong waited for the people from all walks of life to return, he combined the same answers given by all walks of life, and felt more and more that Jin Yu was surrounded by a cloud of fog. .Li Daozong told himself that although he didn't find it, he tried his best, so he sent an express express to his cousin to report the result.

Li Erye is a man who has seen big winds and waves. He has attacked countless cities and seen blood under his hands. Naturally, he is not worried about how much waves Jin Yu, who has a wife and a servant, can turn over.Everyone has selfish intentions, and Li Erye is no exception. He wants to find Jin Yu's teacher for his own use, and by the way, teach his own children, so that they can become as excellent as Jin Yu...

Seeing Li Erye distracted, Changsun Wuji is like an old monk in meditation, pretending to know everything, and wandering into space, Wei Zheng is not so easy to talk.Wei Zheng has always been a wonderful flower in the Tang Dynasty. He has an upright personality and dares to speak out. He has given "hundreds of thousands of words" to Li Erye in his whole life. It is written in classical Chinese. There are about a few double words when translated into vernacular. With an appearance of 300 million, it is estimated that apart from eating, sleeping and going to court, he is just figuring out how to catch Li Erye's sore feet.Now Second Master Li was distracted in front of Wei Zheng, and Wei Zheng insisted on admonishing him: "Your Majesty..."

"Oh, Wei Aiqing, let me ask you something." Second Master Li was pulled out of his contemplation by Wei Zheng. Wanting to understand Wei Zheng's nature, Second Master Li immediately interrupted Wei Zheng and asked, "How does Ai Qing think we should select talents?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that one must first understand his talent, and it is not advisable to be mediocre, otherwise he will mislead others and himself, and only those with real talent can be selected as officials." Wei Zheng thought for a while, and then replied: " Furthermore, it is necessary to assess his moral character, and it is not advisable to have a moral character that cannot convince the public, but also to examine his hobbies, if he has a liking at the top, he must follow it at the bottom, and it is not advisable to have bad habits."

"What Aiqing said is very comforting to my heart!" Second Master Li was overjoyed, and ordered Zhang Gonggong to say: "Pass down the decree: give Wei Aiqing a hundred pieces of silk." Then, without waiting for Wei Zheng to make any more admonitions, he opened his mouth to drive people away: "I am tired Alright, if you two lovers have nothing to do, go down."

Wei Zheng, who has just received a reward, is not easy to get angry again, and accepting it when he sees it is the way to survive.

Li Erye's way of doing this was learned by Li Chengqian [-]%, according to historical records, when Li Chengqian was caught playing for fun and was caught by his teacher, he would admit his mistake before the teacher opened his mouth to criticize, and the teacher would not reprimand him.It seems that there are role models in front, and it is close to the phrase "the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked" as the common people say.

Li Erye didn't know that he had set a bad example, and dismissed Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng, and his thinking began to diverge again.As the king of a country, Li Erye certainly knows where his shortcomings are now. His superior name is not right. Now the ministers in the court are not only left by his father, but also the old and young from the previous dynasty. It will let others say that they are intolerant and inferior to their father, so they can only make do with it, use it, and add a lot of embarrassment to themselves.The past few years have not been smooth, and I have worked hard and accepted advice humbly. At least I have saved some of my reputation, but I am very tired from doing this. Who wants to be contradicted by his subordinates every day?There are not many kings of a country who are so aggrieved, right?

What Wei Zheng said just now, Li Erye can see the shadow of the former nine-rank Zhongzheng system, to put it bluntly, it is the influence of the aristocratic family.Second Master Li didn't want to see the aristocratic family continue to grow, but there was no good way.If it is true that everyone who is a powerful family is kicked out of the court, who can do things for him?Apart from the fact that his Qin Dynasty can really do something for him, which of the other ministers has no shadow of a family behind him?A while ago, Mr. Li already regretted the matter of Zhang Yungu. For so many years, there are not many who can take pictures of themselves so comfortably. Lord who is willing to work hard to learn, this is very good, but now people are being killed, what can we do to change this state in the future?

Second Master Li was very distressed. In the final analysis, there was still a lack of handy talents. It was better to go to the dear eldest grandson empress to amuse the children first, and Quan should relax.

Empress Changsun was revered as the empress of all ages, a model for future empresses, and her reputation was still higher than that of Li Erye, not only because she was virtuous, but also because she knew how to behave!

Empress Changsun is a very good listener. After Li Erye finished talking about his thoughts, he immediately gave Li Erye an idea-write an imperial edict.So the last edict in the fifth year of Zhenguan, which was also a very important edict in the Zhenguan period, was published to call the world.The general meaning of the edict is that the court in Chang'an will list the list of death sentences. Although I, Li Er, said that I have to decline repeatedly before I can approve it, but three times in one day, I don't have time to read it. What's the use of such repeated decline?Even if I regret it, it will be too late. In the future, when the court plays the death penalty list, it is best to play it five times within two days. In other provinces, it will be counted as three times because of the long distance.After the death penalty was approved, I, Li Er, was also in a bad mood. I felt sorry for these people. On the day of the Meridian Gate beheading, the canteen stopped serving meat, vegetables and wine.

As soon as this edict was issued, it won a lot of praise for Li Erye, and it has been praised by people for more than 500 years.Li Erye looked at it and was amused. It seems that the Guanyin maidservant is right. These ministers are also worried that they will be killed by him in a fit of anger. Two days and five replays can buy some time, right?It can not only act as a deterrent, but also attract talents!

In a good mood, Second Master Li waved his hand: Take a bath and go hunting!

　Today, I heard that the three idiots are seriously ill, and my heart is heavy. May the auspicious people have their own heavens, and wish a speedy recovery!Book lovers should also pay attention to exercise at ordinary times, and have a physical examination once a year to ensure good health. The body is capital, so be stingy and not spend it lavishly.
