Datang Longya

Chapter 156 Badminton Titan Li Yuan

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard Leng Feng's words, Wei Zheng is such a bad old man, as long as the emperor wants to use the power of the people and the treasury, Wei Zheng will explode like a cat whose tail has been stepped on.

Wei Zheng has always regarded his job as more important than his life. As an admonisher, "advising with words" is his first creed.Emperor Sui Yang's violent expropriation would arouse the resentment of the people all over the world, making the land of China calm, and the flames of war were rekindled soon.

Therefore, Wei Zheng always believed that the emperor could only reduce taxes and not increase taxes when dealing with the people, especially taking the power of the people for himself was a taboo.

Before Li Shimin said that "the people are water, and the king is a boat", Wei Zheng laughed and laughed wildly after hearing it. Only an emperor with such thoughts can bring a good life to the people of Li.

This time Li Shimin proposed the plan of autumn hunting. Seeing the emperor stepped into the minefield, Wei Zheng stood up without thinking...

Fang Xuanling is the prime minister, and one of the prime responsibilities of the prime minister is to reconcile the relationship between the emperor and the officials.Wei Zheng and the emperor had quarreled too fiercely before, even he didn't dare to hit the muzzle of these two.

It's all right now, Qiu Lie doesn't need to mobilize people's power, doesn't need to use the treasury money and food, and all the expenses are paid by the rich man Leng Feng, isn't that pretty good!
Fang Xuanling came out with a smile and said to Li Shimin: "Since the expenses for the autumn hunting are all paid by the Duke of the Kingdom of Jin, there is no reason for Weichen and others to obstruct your majesty. In this beautiful autumn, your majesty and all the officials should also pay for it." Putting aside the copybook, take it easy.

When hunting, the military generals hunt and cook, and the civil servants enjoy the scenery and chant poems, wouldn't it be beautiful! "

Du Ruhui also stood up and said: "Since this is the case, the lung disease of Weichen is only slightly relieved, and he still needs a leather jacket for this winter.

Hearing that His Majesty has lived in the palace for a long time and has not let go of his riding and shooting skills, I have the audacity to ask Your Majesty to shoot a black bear for me, and strip the skin to make clothes. "

Li Shimin naturally agreed with a smile.

After spitting out the saliva about Qiu Lie, Changsun Wuji reported on the new land acquisition.

Since adopting the policy of "be kind to the weak and be strong", the herdsmen of the Eastern Turks have completely returned to their hearts, and some even took the initiative to ask the frontier army to apply for the household registration of the Tang Dynasty.

This is a great contribution, so Changsun Wuji's Shiyi added another five hundred households.

Now that the herdsmen have been governed to their heart's content, the grassland naturally needs to be under the jurisdiction of a state capital. This is a big vacancy in official positions, and the courtiers are gearing up to get a few more positions for their families.

Recommendations, the recommendation system in the early Tang Dynasty was a platform for aristocratic families to increase their influence. Before that, there were many people with the five surnames, but when it came to Li Shimin, the five surnames repeatedly hit the wall, and many vacancies were divided up by the new nobles. Xuanling, Du Ruhui...

The vassal system in the Zhou Dynasty was the primary cause of the chaos in the Warring States Period. In the Tang Dynasty, although the vassals were no longer divided, how could the power of each family, high-ranking officials and dignitaries be another kind of vassals?

Above the court, under the selfless faces of the princes, there is actually a desire to strengthen their own power.

It was as if a boulder had been thrown into a calm pool of water, and the court, which had been peaceful just now because of Leng Feng's appearance in contracting Qiu Lie's money, exploded in an instant...

Leng Feng looked helplessly at the scene where the civil servant was drooling, and regretted that he came to court, it was too noisy!

Looking at Li Shimin sitting on the throne, Leng Feng admired his broad mind very much.

If most of the Eastern Turkic land newly acquired by the Tang Dynasty wanted to resettle the state capital, the result would not be resolved in a short while. Seeing that it was noon, Leng Feng yawned and finally welcomed Li Shimin, "Let's discuss later, retreat" sound.

After retiring from the imperial court, all the officials left the hall one after another, only Leng Feng who was waiting to chat with Li Shimin, and Fang Xuanling, who was customarily staying with the emperor to have a "small talk" stayed.

Li Shimin looked at the officials who had left the palace in a hurry and said, "Look, this is what the court looks like. Will you come back again?"

Fang Xuanling knew very clearly that the emperor was not talking to him, so he closed his eyes and took a rest.

Leng Feng stretched again before saying: "I used to think...forget it, I'm going to send Feng An back, and take Shuwen to Lingnan for a while, and bring her to the palace today."

Li Shimin looked at the south and said, "It's okay, Shuwen hasn't been out since she entered Chang'an when she was a child, and the Dragon Tooth Army is by her side, so there will be no problem."

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin said to Fang Xuanling: "There is nothing to talk about today, you go back and distribute the officials of the Xinzhou government to you people as much as possible, and the lesser half of the amount will be given to the five surnames."

Fang Xuanling cupped his hands and left.

Li Shimin's approach to dealing with the distribution of officials in the Xinzhou government is very simple, support the new and suppress the old, and boil the frog in warm water.People like Fang Xuanling are the new forces he cultivated to compete against the forces of the five surnames.

The results of the previous experiment were not good, because even Fang Xuanling and others could not resist the "temptation" of the five-surnamed woman and became the five-surnamed son-in-law, which made Li Shimin extremely discouraged.

However, after several attempts to suppress the five surnames, Li Shimin discovered that the aristocratic families are not invulnerable, and the root cause lies in their reputation.

The strongest point is also the weakest point. The reputation of the five surnames and Qiwang is said to be the best in the world, but when they really do bad things, a big hole will be broken in the thousand-year-old reputation in an instant!
Li Shimin looked at the funny Leng Feng with a smile and said: "The reason you paid for Zhen Qiuhun is not just for 'apology' for not going to court, tell me, what do you want to do."

Leng Feng looked at Li Shimin innocently and said, "Why does the emperor distrust people so much?"

Li Shimin was expressionless.

"Well, actually, I want to announce the existence of the Thunder Arrow to all officials. Zhang Zhongqing told me something, and I found that we can't keep it hidden. The Thunder Arrow is the least powerful gunpowder weapon. It can be released, so that when we need to use gunpowder weapons, we have to teach soldiers how to use them."

Li Shimin nodded. He can rest assured that Jingleijian is announced. Even if the soldiers know the existence of this thing, they can't touch it in daily life.

The formula of gunpowder is firmly controlled in Jingleisi, even if it is announced, it is no big deal.

There was still some time before lunch in the palace, so Li Shimin simply took Leng Feng for a walk in the Imperial Garden, and chatted about the engagement of his fingertips by the way.

Li Shimin was very enthusiastic about marrying Leng Feng.

The Royal Garden is very lively today, today is Li Chengqian's holiday, the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan also appeared in the Royal Garden, playing badminton with Li Ke and the others.

Although Li Yuan's heroism was worn away by years of drinking and sex, he still defeated Li Chengqian and the three of them.

One against three, even though there were three children on the opposite side, Li Yuan still didn't let go of the water, which seemed like a "badminton champion".

　Thank you Zaizai for the monthly ticket. It’s already the middle of the month, and there are still monthly tickets to vote for me.
