Datang Longya

Chapter 594
Why did Gong Guogong not want to accept his grandson as an apprentice?Does he really value fate?This is too illusory.

Leng Feng smiled wryly and said, "It's not that I think Di Renjie is not smart, it's that he is too smart. As a master, he is also afraid that his apprentice will be too smart and empty out his own knowledge, so embarrassing."

Di Xiaoxu was embarrassed, it turned out that Di Renjie was too smart!

"Duke Xi, you claim to be the most intelligent person in the world, are you still afraid that your knowledge will be emptied?"

Leng Feng poured a cup of tea for Di Xiaoxu, and said while pouring, "I never said that I am the most intelligent person in the world, and I don't know who installed it, it's harmful!"

Di Xiaoxu took the teacup with mixed emotions in his heart.

In his opinion, Gong Guogong is clearly hiding his clumsiness.

Not the smartest person in the world?Why can you write such a magnificent masterpiece as "A Fang Gong Fu" in one go?

Not the smartest person in the world?Why did the emperor honor and favor him so much, even Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others were convinced by him?

Not the smartest person in the world?Why did Tianxialou skyrocket in just a few years and become an industry envied by everyone?
Not the smartest person in the world?The bank, the gunpowder weapon.
Thinking of this, Di Xiaoxu was sure that Leng Feng was hiding his clumsiness, and he couldn't help but said, "Duke Xi, if I send out enough Shuxiu, you..."

Leng Feng looked helplessly at Di Xiaoxu's shabby court clothes. He always wore such clothes when he went out to visit others. It was conceivable that he had no other clothes at all.How many bundles of repairs can he take out like this?
It is estimated that you have to fight your old face to borrow it everywhere!

"Oh! Forget it, everyone says that you want your son to be successful, and you are looking forward to your grandson's success. Forget it, don't need Shu Xiu, I'll accept Di Renjie!"

When Di Xiaoxu heard that Leng Feng agreed, he was overjoyed!
If Di Renjie can be sent to the sect of Gong Guogong, then his future path can be said to be smooth!

"Your Majesty's words are not right. Shuxiu is a rule, and it must be done. You wait for a few days and go down to prepare Shuxiu for Di Renjie. Don't worry, you will be satisfied!"

Leng Feng waved his hands again and again: "I told you that you don't need Shuxiu, even if you want to give it, it doesn't need to be expensive. When Li Ke, the King of Shu, was apprenticed to his teacher, Concubine Yang just sent a blanket, as long as she is willing, that's enough."

How much money can Di Xiaoxu have?Accustomed to seeing the astronomical figures in the year-end account books, Leng Feng no longer felt how much money could make his heart flutter.

Di Xiaoxu nodded: "Since that's the case, then, when will Duke Xi accept Di Renjie?"

Leng Feng thought for a while and said, "Just tomorrow, and Di Renjie doesn't need to attend classes at the Liberal Arts Academy anymore. The things taught in the Literary Academy are already enough for daily needs. Although the knowledge of the Liberal Arts Academy is very advanced at present, it's okay to learn it. If it’s too useful, let him follow me.”

In Leng Feng's view, instead of entering the Academy of Arts to study knowledge, it is better to apply to the Academy of Scientific Research and other places to contribute to the invention and research.There are five carts of learning, how many books can be used in practice?
The next day, Di Renjie paid homage to his teacher.

Afterwards, there was a new follower behind Leng Feng, no matter where he went, there was a child who grabbed his clothes and asked this and that.

However, for Leng Feng, bringing Di Renjie along is also beneficial.This kid can always find some clues in the most subtle places, such as the map passed on from the grassland. From the changes in the Tushi Tuli family's territory, he can see that they want to do something to a certain family.

Ashina!
Tushi Tuli, who had nowhere to stand in Turkic, was seriously injured after several consecutive battles with his old enemy's family.If they want territory, they can only attack the next family thoroughly.And the Ashina family, who are disliked by everyone around them, couldn't be more suitable.
Leng Feng didn't want to participate in the mid-year court meeting, but under Li Shimin's repeated emphasis, he had to sit in the court hall and take a nap.

The Dachaohui usually dealt with the biggest state affairs, and Leng Feng didn't want to intervene in these things at all.

However.
This time at the Great Court Meeting, as Minister of the Ministry of War and the leader of the military, he had to resist the emperor's idea together with Fang Xuanling and others.

Li Shimin didn't know what he was thinking, but he actually thought of assigning the title of governor to the important officials of the court, which was regarded as a part-time job.For example, Changsun Wuji is a part-time governor of Zhaozhou, and Cheng Yaojin is a governor of Luzhou.

It's okay to assign the title of governor, anyway, there is a genuine governor, so it's not bad for everyone to have an extra title on themselves.However, requiring the development of the family to be transferred to the respective state, this is not quite right.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor wanted to imitate the feudal princes of the Zhou Dynasty and let each family defend the Chang'an royal family.However, Chang'an is the most prosperous place in the Tang Dynasty, and those whose family's development focus is not in Chang'an, they all desperately want to pull them over.The emperor did the opposite. Isn't this a check and balance for the development of each family?
Human beings are creatures driven by interests. Li Shimin's idea was resisted by officials who are full of courts and do not distinguish between civil and military!Even Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others who stood by his side in the past disagreed.

Leng Feng's fief is considered to be around the Academy of Arts, so this matter has nothing to do with him. However, at this moment when everyone is united, he can only oppose Li Shimin.

"I'm just thinking about the stability of Datang. When did I go backwards?"

Changsun Wuji came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, what caused the endless wars in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States? Isn't it the enfeoffment system of the Zhou Dynasty? Don't you also want to see the Tang Dynasty become a separatist regime?"

Changsun Wuji had no choice but to oppose Li Shimin. Zhaozhou was actually a poor place. If the Changsun family went there, it would not be long before they would fade out.And if they can't gain a foothold in the court, no matter how big the family is, it can only decline slowly.

Li Shimin was very angry: "The princes split up? When did I divide the princes? Besides, I trust you to make such a decision. Trust you, but what you get in exchange is your opposition?"

Leng Feng sighed, even he could see what Li Shimin meant.Enfeoffing the governor and enfeoffing the feudal lords is obviously the same thing, but the performance is different.

Standing up, Leng Feng said: "Your Majesty, the act of appointing the governor is obviously superfluous. I know that you want to make the Great Tang a long-term peace and order, and it will not be easy forever. However, assigning the governorship will not achieve such an effect at all!"

Li Shimin glanced at Leng Feng: "Why do you say that?"

Leng Feng was momentarily at a loss for words, how can I not say that? The history of more than 1000 years has proved that no matter how sophisticated the imperial system is, there will be a day of disintegration. Only when the power is dispersed from the top to the bottom of the people, forming a whole, can it be truly immortal!

Du Ruhui stood up and said, "Your Majesty, let's talk about the currency reform first, how about we discuss this matter later?"
