Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 698
The Nivalu king Sirenalandhara sent envoys to Chang'an to pay tribute.

Emperor Yonghui awarded Ye Hu, the son of Yuchi Fuchin, the lord of Khotan, to General Youxiaowei. He gave him sixty sections of gold belts, brocade robes, and cloth, as well as an area of ​​​​a house, and sent Wei Chi Fuchin to return to the country.

The king of Lelang County and the king of Silla, Jin Shengman, passed away, and the sacred bones in the country were cut off. Shangdaeteng Anchuan resigned from the throne due to old age, and jointly promoted Jin Chunqiu to succeed him.

The national certificate was sent to the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Yonghui conferred Jin Chunqiu as the King of Silla, and added Kaifu Yitong Sansi and Lelang County Prince.

See, in a small circle, incestuous marriage is a no-no.

Huangmen Shilang, Pingchang County Gongyu Wenjie, entered the Shizhong;

Liu Shi, the minister of Zhongshu, entered Zhongshu Ling.

General Zhao Xiaozu, who led the army from the left, defeated Baishuiman and Dabolu (Dabo Nong, Xiangyun and Midu areas) and captured the chieftain Yang Chengdian.

Lizhou governor and Peng Wang Li Yuanze passed away.

Since taking office, Li Yuanze has worked conscientiously in Lizhou and has become quite famous.

It's a pity that the weather never takes off.

(The dates of "Old Book of Tang: The Benji of Emperor Gaozong" and "Old Book of Tang: The 22nd Son of Emperor Gaozu" are also contradictory. The Benji of Emperor Gaozong was in the third year of Yonghui's death, while the latter was in the second year of Yonghui's death.)
Thinking of Li Yuanze's fighting pigeon, Emperor Yonghui was still a little sentimental. He immediately abandoned the court for three days and presented it to Situ and the governor of Jingzhou. He was buried in the mausoleum with the posthumous title "Si".

As far as the posthumous title is concerned, "Si" is the middle posthumous title, which means regretting past mistakes and thinking about them, which means sympathy.

Li Yuan had no children, so he was succeeded by Li Xuan, the son of Huo Wang Li Yuangui, the fourteenth son of the great ancestor.

In the palace, the battle is fierce.

Concubine Xiao Shu's attitude was still rampant, and she repeatedly challenged the queen's prestige by virtue of having children.

After Wu Zhao helped Wang and Queen several times, he decided to form his own group.

There is no way, I can't help Adou.

If she had been the queen, Xiao Shufei, a foxy woman, would have been beaten to a pulp long ago.

Master of the harem, what kind of benevolence, justice and morality are you talking about to an arrogant concubine? Wouldn't it be over if you beat her to death?
The isolated and helpless Empress Wang, under the advice of her uncle Liu Shi, finally adopted the concubine King Chen Li Zhong as his heir, thus overcoming her own shortcomings.

Zhongshu Ling Liu Shi, Minister of Civil Affairs Chu Suiliang, Huangmen Minister Han Yuan, Taiwei Zhang Sun Wuji, Shangshu Zuopushe Yu Zhining and others jointly submitted a petition to appoint Yongzhou Governor and Chen Wang Li Zhong as the crown prince.

The emperor of Yonghui made the announcement, granted amnesty to the whole world, granted officials of fifth rank and above, and first-time fathers a rank of honor, and held a banquet for three days.

The emperor looked happy, but Fan Zheng didn't know if he was really happy.

After all, it was not his original intention to establish the crown prince. These prime ministers and ministers jointly signed the petition. It is difficult for him not to think wrong.

Immediately, the left servant of Shangshu shot Yu Zhining, who was also the prince's young master, the right servant of Shangshu shot Zhang Xingcheng, who was also the prince's young master, the middle servant Gao Jifu was also the prince Shaobao, and the middle servant Yu Wenjie was also the prince Zhan Shi.

It is unknown when Gao Jifu was transferred to the position of minister. It is unknown when he moved to minister.

Letting the prince's killer Yu Zhining be the prince's young master is really an idea.

Because of the taboo of being a prince, the East Palace belongs to the officials. Prince Zhongyun was renamed Neiyun, Zhongshusheren was changed to Neishisheren, and the general of the lieutenant in the mansion was renamed the general of Lubenlang.

The ranks of job names are gradually falling down, and it feels like "Meng De" has become "Dade Zi".

Fan Zheng was fortunate that the mess in the East Palace was finally not involving him.
-
Part of Dunhuafang's property was mixed with some of Fan Zheng's private property. A total of ten carriages were pulled to the palace city, and then changed by You Fugui and others.

Setting up an additional army would cost a lot of money, and internal funds may not be able to support it.

Fan Zheng silently demonstrated to everyone what it means to "pay money if you have money."

The reason for the change of clothes is that the carriages and horses outside the palace are not allowed in, not even the backup vehicles of the various departments.

Speaking of the backup truck, Fan Zheng's heart was hurt again - the dignified Honglu Temple didn't even have a backup truck.The dew cloth outside Chengtian Gate shows the donation list of Dunhuafang.

The money is really not too much, and it is only a drop in the bucket for the Ascension Army's extravagant expenses. However, this is the first donation from the Yonghui Dynasty.

What's more important is that after Dunhuafang made the donation, there wasn't even a request.

fall!
Young people, doing things like this will make people feel very embarrassed!

Your family only has a few members, while ours has dozens or hundreds of members!
Isn’t it nice to keep the money and keep the concubine No. 20 with seven rooms?
The second and third donations that followed made the courtiers groan, and they could only quickly sort out the amounts of donations at each level.

Helpless, Honglu Shaoqing's eldest son Sun Huan donated [-] guan and asked Chao Zhu to donate [-] guan, breaking everyone's last line of defense.

No reason!

As an official, you can't take money from the court, but you have to donate money!

Even if you sell your official position and get a title, it's better than paying for nothing!

Each person is assigned a title, and all his descendants will have titles. How wonderful!

However, when you see a wise man and think alike... Bah, Fan Zheng has set a precedent. No matter how reluctant you are, you have to follow.

What's more, donations are forced on the staff of each department, and each level is designated to donate the amount to show the loyalty of each department.

Not handy?

It doesn't matter, the hall thoughtfully paid for it in advance from the company's money. From now on, it will be deducted from the salary every month until it is deducted or the staff dies.

This evil trend spread from the imperial city outwards, and the officials were so painful that they could not cry.

But who cares?
Perhaps what the court officials care about is just a light compliment from Emperor Yonghui.

As for officials tightening their belts for several years or even half of their lives, that has nothing to do with the officials!
Rank is full, just slap your butt and leave!
Fan Zheng witnessed this strange scene unfolding in the Tang Dynasty and could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

The existence of bad habits is rooted in soil.

Honglu Chengtian Dazhen looked at Fan Zheng hesitantly, and reluctantly handed over a piece of paper, writing how much each of the more than two hundred officials should donate, and the minimum was five hundred.

Fan Zheng threw the paper into the stove with a calm expression: "It's good to work hard, don't think about these things. How much money do you make, how much money do I make?"

You are blind to compare yourself to your superiors!
You, Tian Da, really don’t want to live your life anymore, while others still have to live their lives!
A smile appeared on Mugu's lips.

I have told Tian Dazhen a long time ago not to have such evil thoughts, but I just don’t listen!

Your eldest grandson, Shaoqing, comes from a well-known family. If Shaoqing also has his own family, who can compare with them?
Your life is very tight, and you still have to pick out those few copper coins to donate. Are you filled with dregs of beans in your head?

After being scolded for a few times, Tian Dazhen's wrinkled old face finally relaxed.

in!
Following such a superior officer, there is no need to wrong yourself, blackmail your subordinates, or bend your will.

I really think it feels so good to tighten my belt!

Many people just have no choice but to do so, and some people just do it for the sake of their own good looks, regardless of the life and death of the people below them.

What's even more ridiculous is that by squeezing the people below him like this, no one even looks at him.

The news spread like wildfire in Honglu Temple, and even the non-staff translator felt comfortable hearing it.

Next door, Lao Wang was working as a foreign official in the yamen. It was said that even his salary for the next three years was donated. It is said that Lao Wang squatted in the yamen every day to wipe his tears.

Officials want to be famous, but they can't drag the junior officials into messing around. They want to survive.
