Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 443 The Uncle Wants to Go Outside
Royal Palace.

"A wise man, the sun at the mouth of the arrow. What is the arrow? The arrow is also the sun, and the sun is also. It understands the root of yin and yang in all things, and knows the changes of yin and yang in all things. Words are like arrows, knowing the heavens and the earth, and knowing all things. Clouds, from rain to Cloud also.

I was so happy that you were born, so I took this name.Empress Taimu said, this name is too great, I am afraid you will not be able to live up to this name.Therefore, I named you Zhiquan again, hoping that you can understand the truth from an early age.

Later, you gradually grew up, and you lived up to my expectations. "

"Yeah, why did you name the baby Zhiyun?" Li Zhiyun asked with a smile.

Old Li could only lie on the couch, and Li Zhiyun was free to chat with him.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Because I still think Zhiyun is good, so I named you Qijian, and hope you live a long and healthy life."

"So it is."

Li Yuan seldom intervened in government affairs, and every time Li Zhiyun talked with him, Lao Li was always recalling the past.

Today, Lao Li talked about the original intention of naming him.

Li Zhiyun didn't feel much about this, a name doesn't mean much.Maybe Li Zhiyun in history really died because he couldn't bear the name?

never mind.

In terms of the major he studied in his previous life, this name is indeed worthy of him.

Knowing heaven, earth and everything, he really knows a thing or two.

After a while, Li Yuan fell asleep again.

For Li Yuan now, living is actually a kind of torture.Drowsiness is second, the main reason is that wind attacks are becoming more and more frequent, and sometimes it can wake him up painfully from his dream.

Walking out of the palace, Li Zhiyun looked at the majestic imperial city.

The corner of the luan rises and turns, and the eaves fly back and forth.

Compared with the Forbidden City in later generations, the imperial palace in the early Tang Dynasty was more solemn and Weilun, and less prosperous.

Soon after, Li Zhiyun came to the Political Affairs Hall.

"Your Highness, Hongzhou has been leveled." Yang Gongren sent the victory report.

Li Zhiyun took it and flipped through it.

Calming down Zhang Shan'an, as expected, Li Zhiyun seemed very calm.

According to the good report, Zhang Zhenzhou, the general manager of Shuzhou, defeated Zhang Shan'an in Pengze, and Li Daliang entered the camp alone to capture Zhang thief. These two things aroused some interest in Li Zhiyun.

Seeing what Li Daliang did, Li Zhiyun felt that the inertia of history still exists.

"Zhang Shan'an and his family members are to be executed. The soldiers who have made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion will be handed over to the Ministry of War to discuss their meritorious service and reward them as appropriate. In addition, I will call Li Daliang and Zhang Zhenzhou back to Beijing. This king wants to see them."

"Yes." Yang Gongren cupped his hands.

After dealing with the matter in the Political Affairs Hall, Li Zhiyun got up and went to Fengyi Hall to have dinner with Empress Wan.

Today, there is still one person, and that is Uncle Wan Xuandao.

Not long ago, with his mother being canonized as queen, Li Zhiyun also let Wan Xuandao inherit the title of Duke of Jiangdu County.

The Duke of Jiangdu was the title that Li Yuan posthumously bestowed on Li Zhiyun's grandfather, Wan Wugang, and now Wan Xuandao just happened to inherit it.

During the dinner, Empress Wan said: "Zhiyun, my mother wants your uncle to practice in the local area, what do you think?"

Wan Xuandao is younger than Li Zhiyun, seventeen years old this year.

In front of Li Zhiyun, Wan Xuandao didn't look like an uncle, but a cousin.He blushed and said, "Your Highness, it's not that I dislike my current position, it's just that I also want to go out and practice for a while. A lot of people have been looking for me recently, and I don't know what to do."

With Li Zhiyun gaining power, he used to be the transparent Duke of Jiangdu in Chang'an, and now he has become very popular. Needless to say, there is an endless stream of people seeking marriage. Many people want to make friends with him, so as to catch up with the King of Chu.

Wan Xuandao was raised in Tang Guogong's mansion since he was a child. He was shy by nature and was not good at meeting people. Now he was at a loss for what to do.

He was worried that he would cause trouble for his sister and nephew, so he wanted to leave Chang'an and seek a clean life.

Li Zhiyun asked: "My mother thinks, where is it better for my uncle to practice?"

"I'm just a woman in the deep palace. I don't know that local affairs are up to you. Your uncle has a quiet temper since he was a child, so you just follow the arrangements."

"How about the Luoyang order?"

Wan Shi shook his head, "That's not right. How could he ever be released as a fifth-rank official, and the preacher is only seventeen years old. This is not in line with the system, and it may arouse criticism from the government and the public."

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, in Jingzhao, Henan, Taiyuan and other places, the county magistrates were on the sixth rank.In Chang'an, Wannian, Henan, Luoyang, Jinyang and other places, the county magistrates are at the top of the fifth rank.

Different counties have different grades of local county magistrates.

Wan Xuandao also refused: "Your Highness, don't do this, I don't know anything, and if I were asked to be the Luoyang order, it would be a joke."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Well, how about you join the army first, become a master bookkeeper, and learn while practicing, how about it?"

Hearing this, Wan Xuandao nodded, "Very good."

"Where are you going to let Xuandao join the army?" Queen Wan asked.

Li Zhiyun smiled and said: "Hebei Province arrests the ambassador, under Duan Zhixuan's command, what does the empress think?"

"Yes." Wan Shi nodded contentedly.

Duan Zhixuan is a powerful general under her son's command, so it is appropriate for her brother to go there.

Wan Xuandao got up and saluted, "My minister, thank you Your Highness."

"Uncle doesn't have to be like this, we are all family." Li Zhiyun waved his hand.

My mother has only such a younger brother, so Li Zhiyun has to take care of him no matter what.He let Wan Xuandao go to Duan Zhixuan's command to give him a chance. As for whether he can seize the opportunity to become a talent in the future, that is Wan Xuandao's own business.

After eating in the palace, Li Zhiyun went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry without stopping.

The current Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is still a samurai, but he has learned his lesson, not only because he failed to become a prime minister, but also because Li Yuan was critically ill, and a large number of saints and former ministers were purged.

Under such circumstances, the samurai Xun almost walked on eggshells in the Ministry of Industry.

Now the major affairs of the Ministry of Industry are decided by the two ministers, namely Yang Shigui, and Yuwen Rutong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Yang Shigui is old and can't work for a few years. He also knows who the son-in-law really wants to cultivate, so he gets along very friendly with Yuwen Rutong, and he knows almost everything that Yuwen Rutong asks.

In Yang Shigui's opinion, there is really no need for him to tangle with a junior.His granddaughter is now the princess of Chu, and will be the crown prince in the future, and will become the queen after the king of Chu ascends the throne.

At that time, even if he becomes an official, no one would dare to offend him here in Chang'an.

Sometimes, he himself did not expect that when the sage randomly assigned the king of Chu to marry his granddaughter, it would bring such a huge opportunity to the Yang family.

God pity Yang!

Work workshop.

"Your Highness, this is a farm tool built according to the blueprint you gave, do you see if it is this?"

Yuwen Rutong pointed to the newly made agricultural tools and said.

Li Zhiyun looked at it for a moment, compared it with Qu Yuanli in his memory, and shook his head.

"wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Look, the shaft is still long, so it needs to be shorter. Besides, the trunk needs to be curved, but yours is still too straight, so it won't work."

"Yes, I will modify it now."

After finishing speaking, Yuwen Rutong led people down to modify it.

He has followed the King of Chu for so many years, so he will not talk nonsense.

The king of Chu said no, so he said no.

Facts have proved that as long as it is the blueprint given by the king of Chu, if it is not built according to the king of Chu's instructions, it must be a waste product.

Yang Shigui looked at the busy Yuwen Rutong and praised with a smile: "Your Highness is well-mannered."

"Yue Zu was joking."

Yang Shigui chuckled, and asked, "Your Highness, is this Qu Yuanli really convenient for farming?"

"Yes." Li Zhiyun said concisely.

Historically, Quyuanli appeared in the Jiangdong area at the end of the Tang Dynasty, marking the complete maturity of intensive farming tools.

The curved shaft plow is convenient for turning around and turning, flexible in operation, and can save manpower and animal power.

It is the plow used in the technological society, which is also the experience borrowed from Qu Yuanli.In the future, when the conditions are ripe, Li Zhiyun will transform the Quyuan plow again, install the plow disk into an iron plow, and add a few movable rolling balls underneath.
