People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1188 The Ministers of the East Palace

"Imperial order: Pingyuan County Duke Gao Kan's daughter Gao, who is soft and leisurely, is upright on the inside, and is virtuous in asking questions to the public. She should be the crown prince's concubine. She should be pious about etiquette and rules, only perform ceremonies, be successful and honorable, and maintain the clan forever. I admire this."

"I have received the decree. Your Majesty may live forever."

Li Xian knelt in the Mingde Hall with a solemn expression, and all the ministers behind him knelt down and worshiped.

Webster knelt on one side, lowered his head deeply, and his nails were deeply embedded in his flesh.

She had originally asked Li Xian to ask Yao Lingzhang to write a memorial, asking the emperor to make Li Chongzhao, the grandson of the emperor, the governor of Jizhou.

In this way, the marriage between the Prime Minister's Palace and the Gao family can be offset, so that the Gao family does not have to enter the East Palace.

Unexpectedly, everything turned out to be in vain.

Wang Fulai didn't seem to notice Webster's little move. He took another imperial edict from the side and continued to read: "Edict: Tenghua Xingyuan, with the radiance of the sun, the branches will become more beautiful, and the threads will flourish... Hebei Fangfu The land is connected to the wild goose fortress and the border is sparse.

The emperor's grandson is in the spotlight again, the wind is in full bloom, the utensils are bright and colorful, the art is gentle and courteous, the industry is getting new day by day, the calyx and calyx are fragrant, and the ornaments are beautiful.

You are ordered to be the Grand Commander-in-Chief of Jizhou, envoy Chijie, and the commander-in-chief of the seven states of Ji, Bei, De, Xiang, Di, Cang, and Wei. The military, pastoral, and honorary titles remain as before.

Erqi conquers the Heavenly Jue and Yubao's local righteousness, so that the capital can be transformed into Daxia, and benefits gradually come to the capital. It must be able to strengthen its horses and grow Sui Fu's shoes.

If you just show your destiny, can you be careless? "

"My son, I accept the decree. Thank you very much for your father's grace!" Li Xian was stunned for a moment, then quickly handed over his hands and bowed his head solemnly.

Wei Shi was also stunned. She did not expect that while the emperor stuffed Gao into the East Palace, he also gave Li Chongzhao the position of Governor of Jizhou.

What is this approach?

Of course, Li Chongzhao only led the governor of Jizhou from a distance, and the governor of Jizhou, Shi, was the real chief official of Jizhou.

But no matter what, he was also the Governor of Jizhou.

You must know that not long ago, Prime Minister Li Dan was the governor of Bingzhou, and he was actually appointed as the shepherd of Luozhou for less than two months.

As soon as this imperial edict was issued, Li Chongzhao immediately stood on the same line as his biological uncle, the Prime Minister Li Dan, on the same line as the heir apparent.

Wei Shi immediately felt the emperor's deep affection for Li Chongzhao.

Likewise, she also felt the emperor's dissatisfaction.

Wei Shi originally used the emperor's grandson as the governor of Jizhou to balance the marriage between the Prime Minister's Palace and the Gao family and prevent the Gao family from entering the East Palace.

But the emperor has now expressed his dissatisfaction with these small actions in her two imperial edicts.

It is the prince's duty to spread the branches and leaves.

Now he is still restrained in the East Palace. Once Li Xian becomes the emperor, he will have many girls from other families in his harem.

Could it be that Webster still wants to stop them all?

Wei Shi bowed his head solemnly without raising his head, and the figure of Empress Wu flashed in his mind.

……

Seeing Wei Shi leading his servants into the harem, Wang Fulai looked at Li Xian and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has decreed that all matters in the Governor's Office of Jizhou will be handled by the new Governor of Jizhou and the Governor of Jizhou, Shi Zhang Qian. The Sima of the Governor's Office of Jizhou and the Chief of the Governor's Office of Jizhou will be Shi Du Bixing, the former governor of Wu, and there is no need to interfere with matters in the East Palace."

"I accept the order." Li Xian raised his hands in the direction of the palace, then looked at Wang Fulai and said, "I'm sorry to bother you."

"Your Highness, you're welcome, please leave." Wang Fulai bowed, and Li Xian looked at Xu Zheng, the leader of the chamberlain in the East Palace. Soon, Xu Zheng had left with Wang Fulai.

Li Xian turned to look at Li Xuan: "This appointment is a bit strange!"

Li Xuan nodded lightly, looked at Xue Yuanchao and others, and said: "Zhang Qian is the son of Prime Minister Zhang, who was the governor of Weizhou before. Although Prime Minister Zhang has now retired, he still has a lot of old friends in Dali Temple and the court; although Du Bixing was previously He is the governor of Wu, but he is Liu's son-in-law. He spied on the princess's marriage before and was impeached by the censor. Now... I can't understand it."

"Zhang Qian should be His Majesty's method." Xue Yuanchao pondered for a moment, and then said: "As for Du Bixing, this is probably the Queen's method."

"How could the Queen of Heaven use the son-in-law of the Liu family?" Li Xuan looked puzzled. The others, Yao Lingzhang, Su Liangsi, and Cheng Wuzhong, all lowered their heads slightly and did not dare to intervene.

The Liu family is Empress Wang's uncle's family. Even the reason why Wang could become the queen was because of the Liu family's great efforts.

After Queen Wang was deposed, the Liu family suffered even more damage than the Wang family.

"Maybe it's a plan to kill two birds with one stone." Xue Yuanchao said lightly.

Li Xuan immediately understood that this was to mix sand in the Jizhou Governor's Mansion and use Du Bixing to fight within the East Palace.

Wait until both parties are beyond control, and then deal with both parties together.

Empress Wu's random moves of the chess pieces already made Li Xuan feel uncomfortable.

"In this way, the East Palace cannot intervene in any affairs in Jizhou." Li Xuan sighed lightly. This was the real warning.

Li Xian understood it completely, and he forced a smile and said: "It doesn't matter, it was originally Yaoling."

Xue Yuanchao came back to his senses in an instant, looked at Li Xian, cupped his hands and said, "I haven't congratulated Your Highness yet on your beautiful wife!"

"Yes, yes." Li Xian smiled a little reluctantly and returned the favor slightly.

The moment he bowed slightly, Li Xian showed a scratch mark on the back of his neck, but everyone in the East Palace pretended not to see it.

"Your Highness needs to prepare for the wedding now. The Pingyuan County Duke is still in Hebei, and the Zhengdan Dynasty doesn't know if he can come back." Li Xuan pondered slightly.

"Within three months, we can choose an auspicious day, but if we meet quickly, I will let Uncle Wang drink this wedding wine." Li Xian looked up at Li Xuan with a serious smile.

Li Xuan shook his head and said, "It's not easy for me to do this. What's important is next year. You should also discuss next year's matters."

The ministers suddenly became solemn.

……

Sitting behind the lower table, Yao Lingzhang looked at Li Xian, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, the compilation of "Qie Yun" can be completed in half a month, and it will be presented just before the Zhengdan Dynasty. Next year, the palace will The people will spread out in all directions."

"The promotion of "Qie Yun" is a major event, and this matter must be done carefully." Li Xian became serious.

Through the preaching of "Qie Yun", the influence of the East Palace can quickly penetrate downwards, which will lay the foundation for Li Xian's next step in handling government affairs. "Also, the spinning wheel matter mentioned by the King of Nanchang earlier can also be dealt with next year." Xue Yuanchao spoke, nodded to Li Xuan, then looked at Li Xian and said: "Next year, the war in Hebei will probably not happen for a while. It won’t stop, and the Silk Road will be affected. A large number of wealthy people will gather in the Jiangnan area and then transfer southward.”

Opening up the Nanyang waterway is a commercial matter for a wealthy family, and it is an inevitable choice in the context of the Hebei War.

Li Xian nodded in agreement. Donggong also needs money to do many things. If he can take charge of this matter, it will not only bring huge reputation, but also bring huge wealth.

"This is something that will happen after the imperial examination next year. After the imperial examination results are released next year, the East Palace can send some of the ministers and the defeated scholars back to the south of the Yangtze River to prepare in advance. By April or May, important ministers will be needed."

Li Xuan turned to look at Yao Lingzhang, Su Liangsi, Cheng Wuzhong, Wei Hongmin and others, and asked, "Who is going?"

Everyone was slightly silent, and Wei Hongmin cautiously said, "How about I go?"

"You can't do it. The traces of the Wei family on your body are too heavy, which will affect the priority." Xue Yuanchao bluntly pointed out the problem with Wei Hongmin.

Wei Hongmin bowed his head a bit. It was inevitable that he would seek benefits for the Wei family when he went to Jiangnan.

"How about the Tianshe people? We are going to wash the horses and go to the south of the Yangtze River." Li Xuan raised her head and looked at everyone with bright eyes.

Everyone's eyes immediately lit up, Tian Youyan was indeed a very suitable candidate.

When Fan Lubing was not in the East Palace, Tian Youyan performed the horse washing on his behalf.

He happened to be Pan Shizheng's apprentice. When he went to Jiangnan, he could even go directly to Maoshan in the name of offering incense for the prince.

The weight is heavy enough, which is really suitable.

"Then let's decide on him." Xue Yuanchao looked at Li Xian, who nodded in agreement.

Xue Yuanchao looked at Li Xuan again and said, "Your Majesty, please find a time to explain everything to the people in the field. No one knows this matter better than Your Majesty."

"Okay." Li Xuan nodded, and then said: "Next year's scientific examination, regardless of whether He Jizhen succeeds or not, he will go home to visit his relatives. Then I will ask He Jizhen to accompany him."

"Good!" Li Xian, Xue Yuanchao, Yao Lingzhang and others all nodded in agreement.

……

Everyone talked a lot, and finally Xue Yuanchao looked at Li Xian seriously and said: "Finally, it's about editing the book. After finishing "Qie Yun", we always need to prepare for the next one. Scholars in the world. Your Majesty is watching, so we can’t always delay it because His Highness is not knowledgeable enough.”

Li Xian fell silent immediately. What Xue Yuanchao actually asked was, when was he going to revise the "Book of Han"?

Although Li Xian compiled and annotated the "Book of the Former Han Dynasty", although there were hidden dangers, it was ultimately beneficial to the world in ancient and modern times.

Li Xian was in front, but there were too many people behind, looking at Li Xian.

Li Xian raised his head, looked at everyone, and said, "Please tell me, gentlemen."

Su Liangsi glanced at Li Xuan, then stood up, looked at Li Xian and cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, we have compiled the history of the dynasty, and now there are eight volumes in total, "Book of Jin", "Book of Liang", "Book of Chen", "Book of Chen" "Book of Northern Qi", "Book of Zhou", "Book of Sui", "History of the South", "History of the North".

Li Xian nodded slightly.

Su Liangsi continued: "The "Book of Jin" was revised and used the most by twenty prime ministers including Fang Xiang, Chu Xiang, Xu Xiang, Lai Xiang, Lu Xiang, and Cui Xiang, including Xiang Xiang.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Xue Yuanchao. When he was the Minister of Huangmen, he also studied national history.

"Book of Liang and Book of Chen were compiled by Yao Zhanshi's father, Bachelor Yao, Old Bachelor Yao, and Prime Minister Wei." Everyone looked at Yao Lingzhang again.

Yao Lingzhang nodded slightly. His father Yao Silian was one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Dynasty. The compilation of "Liang Shu" and "Chen Shu" started with his grandfather Yao Cha.

Wei Zheng is just a name here.

"Other "Books of the Northern Qi" and "Books of the Zhou" were edited by many bachelors, and the "Book of the Sui" was edited by Prime Minister Wei." After a slight pause, Su Liangsi continued: "The "Southern History" and "Northern History" are the censorship. The director’s book was edited by Li Yanshou’s father and son.”

After saying that, Su Liangsi raised his head: "Jin, Liang, Chen, Qi, Zhou, Sui, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties all have their own history, so naturally the Han Dynasty will come next. It makes sense to start with the Han Dynasty after deposing the prince, but if we don't want to If we repeat the same mistakes, it will be difficult to avoid starting from the past.”

Li Xian's compilation and annotation of the history of the Han Dynasty itself was a continuation of the work of his predecessors, but he was opportunistic and did not start from the previous Han Dynasty, but from the later Han Dynasty. However, the latter Han Dynasty was still full of hidden dangers.

Now that it is in the hands of Li Xian, it is still a Han, and it must be an ex-Han that Li Xian is not willing to take advantage of. These troubles are big.

Everyone in the hall became solemn. They all knew that there would be a serious discussion today.

……

Li Xian raised his head and looked at Xue Yuanchao.

Xue Yuanchao handed over his hand: "Your Highness, the "Book of Han" cannot be bypassed, but the affairs of Empress Lu can be deleted using the Spring and Autumn Period brushwork to delete some unimportant ones."

When revising history, it is normal to delete some things.

Some characters completely disappeared from history.

Li Xian turned around and looked at Yao Lingzhang.

Yao Lingzhang raised his hand and said: "Your Highness, the compilation and annotation project of "Hanshu" and "Houhanshu" is huge and far from being completed in a moment. I would like to start from the ancestors of the Han Dynasty, at least three generations."

Slippery, everyone cursed in their hearts, why don’t you start with Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

But everyone understands that this is indeed a way.

drag.

Delay it until after Li Xian ascends the throne, and then start again. By then, the problem of Empress Wu will be solved.

After all, there are many people supporting Li Xian.

Li Xian turned his head and looked at Li Xuan: "What do you think, Uncle Wang?"

Everyone looked at Li Xuan for an instant.

Li Xuan......
