Man Tanghong

Chapter 975 Immature Chu Suiliang
And after he finished expressing his opinions and telling others what he would do, he would be criticized mercilessly.

Then people will give him some new suggestions together, and ask him to give them orders to let them go off the field in person and play according to the new strategies and tactics they gave.

If it was just like this, he could still endure the humiliation and endure it silently.

But those old men are so arrogant that they use him as a servant, and they don't give him face at all. After they "point out" him, they will ask him to serve tea if they don't win the war. Water, pounding legs and meat shoulders, providing all kinds of outrageous meals, and if the waiter is not good, he will punch and kick.

For example, a certain Qu Tu family, who did not want to be named, had a whim one day and wanted to eat roast leg of lamb smoked from a kind of grass unique to Liaodong, so he had to let him get it.

The place where he is located is thousands of miles away from Liaodong, where can he get it? !
He wanted to reason with others, and wanted to ask them to change to a different kind of food, but he was hung at the door of the big tent, stripped of his clothes, and severely spanked.

He was almost forty, he was hung at the door of the big tent, his buttocks were spanked in front of many people, and he had no face to live.

"Puff puff puff..."

After reading what happened to An Xiuren, Chu Suiliang, the newly appointed servant of the Sherenyuan and secretary of Yongwang's Mansion, Chu Suiliang kept screaming.

Chu Suiliang is the son of Chu Liang, one of the eighteen scholars.

Previously, he had devoted himself to research at home. Wei Zheng met Chen Shuda on the streets of Chang'an City when he returned to Beijing to report on official duties at the call of Chen Shuda. He saw that he was quite talented and learned, and recommended him to the three provinces.

After Chen Shuda passed the school examination, he was placed in the Sherenyuan.

When Li Yuanji was busy with official duties, Li Yuanji wrote to Chen Shuda to ask for someone, and Chen Shuda sent him over.

Li Yuanji knew clearly whether he was talented or capable, so he didn't even try it out, so he just stayed.

It is worth mentioning that shortly after Wei Zheng recommended him to be an official, his father Chu Liang recommended Wei Zheng's second son Wei Shuyu to join the army as a soldier in Luozhou.

What is going on here, you can guess without needing anything.

However, Li Yuanji didn't care about this matter, and he didn't punish Wei Zheng and Chu Liang for their previous crimes of selfishness, because this was the norm in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the early Tang Dynasty.

The official selection system currently adopted by Datang is a parallel system of imperial examination and recommendation.

There are less than 30 to [-] Jinshi selected each time by the imperial examination, and there are also a large number of related households.

And these 30 people obviously couldn't meet Datang's needs.

After all, there are more than this number of officials in Datang who are dismissed or beheaded for crimes every year.

Therefore, in addition to the imperial examination, it is inevitable to adopt the recommendation system to select scholars.

It has become a norm for officials to recommend the children of official families.

That is to say, directly recommending children from one's own family will be scolded as shameless and despised.

Otherwise, there will definitely be a large number of incidents in the Tang Dynasty that promote talents without avoiding relatives.

"Laugh if you want, what's the matter if you hold it back? Those who know know that you are holding back your laughter, but those who don't know think you are possessed by some kind of monster."

Li Yuanji put down the pen in his hand, glanced at Chu Suiliang, and said something indifferent.

Although Chu Suiliang was a famous minister in history, but now he is just a rookie in the officialdom who has just entered the official career.

Although Chu Suiliang is now in his thirties, almost a round older than Li Yuanji, in terms of political longevity, he is less than one year old, so Li Yuanji doesn't need to treat him as a character, let alone be kind to him.

What about Chu Suiliang?

Li Shimin is lying down now, let alone you, Chu Suiliang?

Famous official?

The most indispensable thing in the Tang Dynasty is famous ministers.

The famous official surnamed Changsun is now dispatched to the southwest to join the savages.

When Chu Suiliang heard this, he quickly held back his smile, stood up and said, "Your Majesty is impolite, please punish me..."

The current Chu Suiliang is still immature, and he is still respectful and cautious in front of Li... ahem, big brother.

Li Yuanji glanced at Chu Suiliang and said lightly: "You are being rude, but there is nothing wrong with it. After all, when I read An Xiuren's documents, I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't.

A man of Taoism can be killed but not humiliated.

Qu Tugong is a bit too much, and my father is too indulgent to Qu Tugong. "

Anyway, An Xiuren is also in his 40s, what's the matter with taking off his pants, hanging him at the door of the big tent, and beating his ass in front of many people?

You, Qu Tutong, are older, more senior, and more senior.

But people are over 40 years old, and they are qualified to call them old.

How can you humiliate people like this.

The same is true for Li Yuan, if not for Li Yuan's connivance and even bewitchment, Qu Tutong would not be able to do such absurd things, let alone do such things openly in front of his elder brother.

When Chu Suiliang heard this, he quickly lowered his head.

He could still listen to Qu Tutong's talk from time to time, and he could also say a few words.

But what Li Yuan said was wrong, it was not that he could hear it, let alone talk about it, and he couldn't even disclose half a word.

Li Yuanji criticized Li Yuan, saying that Li Yuan was not, and even pointed to Li Yuan's nose and said that Li Yuan was wrong, and Li Yuan could not do anything to Li Yuanji.

But he, let alone criticizing Li Yuan, even if he revealed a few words about Li Yuanji's criticism of Li Yuan, which would give Li Yuanji a disrespectful reputation, both Li Yuan and Li Yuanji might trouble him.

"You draw up a document and reprimand Qu Tutong for me, and your words should be sharper."

Li Yuanji gave Chu Suiliang instructions.

An Xiuren's complaints have been filed here, and it will be impossible if there is no statement.

If An Xiuren committed suicide in grief and anger because he had nowhere to redress his grievances, then Qu Tutong would have to be buried with him.

Anshi and Qutushi will also form a deadly feud.

This may be nothing to An Shi, but it will definitely be a disaster to Qu Tu Shi.

Because the Qutu family has no successors, and the An family can still be brilliant for many years.

As for Li Yuan, who secretly prodded and instigated people behind his back, nothing will happen.

Who made someone the emperor?

Sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons, and even more generations are emperors.

A courtier can't afford to offend, let alone harbor any resentment towards him.

Otherwise, if he doesn't punish you, his descendants will also punish you.

"Is this... appropriate?"

Chu Suiliang was a little cautious and asked hesitantly.

He is not a fool, how can he not see that Qu Tutong did this kind of thing under Li Yuan's behest.

Otherwise, how could Qu Tutong become acquainted with the overlord family in Liangzhou in his twilight years? Was he kicked in the head by a donkey?
In this case, there is no difference between Shen Yu Qu Tutong and Shen Yu Li Yuan.

If Li Yuan gets annoyed, that small matter will become a big one.

Li Yuanji said lightly: "There is nothing suitable or not, just do as I say."

Chu Suiliang hesitated for a while, as if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said, "I think that there is no need for His Highness to reprimand Qu Tu Gong. His Highness can reward and appease General An to calm the matter."

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, then stared at Chu Suiliang with great interest and said, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Chu Suiliang hurriedly bent down, and said sincerely and fearfully: "I dare not, I just don't want His Highness to hurt the friendship with the saint."

This is the common thought of most of the courtiers standing between the emperor and the prince.

That is to try not to let the emperor and the prince hurt their peace, cause discord between father and son, or other bad scandals.

Li Yuanji laughed and said, "Harmony? Do you think my father still needs to be kind?"

Chu Suiliang lowered his waist for an instant, and didn't dare to answer.

This is not something he can discuss.

Li Yuanji put away his smile and continued: "He has already started to let Qu Tutong humiliate people openly, if the trouble continues, who knows what he will do.

So he doesn't need to be kind now, he just needs to be calm. "

Chu Suiliang quickly raised his head, and wanted to say something.

Li Yuanji continued: "Also, don't try to teach me how to do things in the future. If you want to teach me how to do things, at least you have to be at the fifth rank."

To be precise, only officials of the third rank and above are eligible for this qualification.

Chu Suiliang was speechless for a moment, and lowered his head again, this time he lowered his head even lower.

Obviously, he has realized that he is a sacrifice, joined the army, and just did something he is not qualified to do.

Seeing that Chu Suiliang had realized his mistake, Li Yuanji waved his hands and said, "Okay, sit down, and draft the document as soon as I said."

Chu Suiliang didn't dare to say much now, and after directly bowing in agreement, he sat down carefully again and began to draft the documents.

After Chu Suiliang started to write vigorously, Li Yuanji picked up the pen again, and then began to review the documents.

Although the battle at Tuyuhun was messed up by Li Yuan and others, the situation was dominated by Datang.

At present, Datang has helped Murong Shun re-stabilize the foundation in Tuyuhun, and is slowly advancing towards the western Tuyuhun occupied by Dayan Mangjiebo.

Dayan Mangjiebo, while defending against the Tang Dynasty and Murongshun's attack, frequently asked for help from Tubo and Western Turks, but has not received any response from either side so far.

If this continues, by November, Datang should be able to take down the entire territory of Tuyuhun.

After all, Tuyuhun was only that big, and compared to the huge Turkic monster, it looked like a small quail, so it didn't take much time for Datang to clean it up.

As for the war on the side of Liang State, it is almost coming to an end. After Ashnabil, who lost Suni's army, made it clear that he could surrender to Datang, and after Datang also expressed his intention to accept the surrender, the entire Liang State Lost the hope of resisting Datang with the power of Suni's missing department.

Except for Liang Shidu who was still dying, the other Liang officials were all on the lookout.

Among them, some fell to Datang before Datang officially launched an attack on Liang Guo, and some defected on the battlefield.

Su Dingfang has already placed them all in the place they were in charge of before. The officials of the three provinces and six ministries have already started to negotiate how to arrange them in the future. After Liang Guo is completely destroyed, I believe they will have a suitable place for them.

Now the only remaining city in Liang State, Shuofang City, the capital of Liang State, is still in the hands of Liang State, and the rest have all been captured by the Tang Dynasty.

This includes the two acropolises of Shuofang City.

It was already a blink of an eye for Datang to win Liang Guo.

Specifically how to take Shuofang City, Su Dingfang has not yet made a decision, and wrote to ask for instructions.

The reason why this kind of thing happened was that after the two guard cities of Shuofang City were breached, Liang Luoren offered to help Datang take down Shuofang City without bloodshed.

Su Dingfang didn't know whether he should go all out and give Liang Guo a final blow, or follow Liang Luoren's thoughts and take down Shuofang City without bloodshed.

Although it would be more beneficial to take down Shuofang City without bloodshed, it won't go far.

But the battle has reached this point, and the morale of the soldiers has surged to the peak. They all want to establish the merit of destroying the country and capture the capital of Liang Shidu, and they also want to make a good fortune after breaking through Shuofang City. Windfall.

If Shuofang City took the initiative to vote under the leadership of Liang Luoren at this time, the morale of the soldiers would be frustrated.

If the Tang Dynasty went on an expedition here, and only Liang Guo was conquered, then the morale of the soldiers would also be frustrated. Anyway, there will be no fighting in the future, so it is enough to appease them.

But Datang's expedition this time was to launch a full-scale war against the entire north, and Datang would also enter Suni's lost troops later. If the morale of the soldiers was frustrated, their strength would be greatly reduced.

In the process of conquering Suni's lost tribe, if you suffer a few defeats, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Su Dingfang just couldn't make up his mind, so he specially wrote to ask.
