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

Chapter 1381 Changluo River Road, the most important place in the world

The night was dark, and Prince Peng's Mansion, which had been noisy all night, completely fell silent.

Just when everyone fell into sleep, a figure appeared quietly in the study.

Standing in the room, the man held up his hands and said, "Your Majesty."

"Yeah!" Li Xuan's voice came from deep in the study, sitting faintly behind the desk.

"The East Palace will issue a recruitment order to recruit master craftsmen hidden among the people. The Capital Water Supervisor will renovate the Weihe and Luohe waterways this year and let our people sneak in. In this year, the entire waterway will be under control." Li Xuan Her voice was very soft and slow, as if she had been thinking about each word for a long time.

"Here!" The man held his hand.

"If you have a choice, try to stay in Luoyang." Li Xuan finally added.

"Yes!" The man lowered his head and exited the study.

Li Xuan sat calmly deep in the study, and the darkness around him seemed to be swallowing him up.

He didn't know what the emperor's physical condition was, but based on what happened in Songshan, he could deduce that probably this year, the emperor's body would be unable to support him.

But after that, no one can say, maybe the emperor will be able to survive this year without taking medicine.

Or maybe the emperor took medicine to get through this year.

After all, the medicine was not a good medicine, but after all, there was something really wrong with the emperor's body.

No matter what, Li Xuan needs to prepare for it.

The emperor died and the prince ascended the throne.

Li Xian has gone through all kinds of things over the years, and he is no longer the ignorant fool he was before. He has a clear understanding of the serious relationship between many things.

He would never do such a stupid thing as letting Wei Xuanzhen serve as a servant.

Not to mention, there are people like Lu Yuanfang, Di Renjie, Yang Zhirou and Yao Chong. If they object in unison, it means that Li Xuan is also firmly opposed to this matter. Li Xian should think about it carefully by then.

However, power is the best poison that corrodes people's hearts.

No one knows when Li Xian will become confused again.

Once his mind changed, even if Li Xuan personally opposed it in court, nothing would change.

In the original history, Xue Yuanchao and Yao Lingzhang may not have been with Li Xian, but in the end, Li Xian still said such nonsense, which eventually led to great changes in the world.

"Pei Yan." Li Xuan softly uttered two words.

In this matter, in addition to the mother and son Empress Wu and Li Xian, there was another person, and that was Pei Yan.

Since Pei Yan moved to Menxia Province, the capable style he has shown has even affected the entire three provinces and six departments.

Li Xuan had some guesses that the emperor suddenly asked some old ministers to take up their posts, and there might be some reasons for this.

Young people can survive better than old people after all.

Under this style, compared to the somewhat indifferent Xue Yuanchao, Pei Yan has a great influence among the three provinces.

It was not without reason that he became the prime minister after Li Zhi died of illness.

When Li Xian ascends the throne, Pei Yan's power will even further expand, even to the point where his ambitions will expand to the point of deposing the emperor.

Li Xuan shook his head in his mind. He once thought about having a good talk with Pei Yan to stabilize the situation, but a man's ambition has grown to the point of deposing the emperor. Is it still necessary to talk to him?

Instead of doing this, it is better to use strength to threaten.

Li Xuan is now far away in Fanzhou, and he has finally created the ability to influence the overall situation even though others are thousands of miles away.

People, people who represent Li Xuan's will.

Apart from Lu Yuanfang, Di Renjie, Yang Zhirou and Yao Chong, the only one who could be honest and honest was Li Zhaode, the teacher of his son and daughter.

……

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the sun is warm.

Li Xuan walked on the palace road, followed by He Yiqiu and Li Zhaode.

"Your Majesty, there will be a large number of people and materials between Chang'an and Luoyang. The Taishi Bureau, like me, has concluded that this summer, there will be continuous heavy rains between Chang'an and Luoyang, not to mention delaying shipping, and even Cause floods.

Therefore, not only the Wei River and Luo River, but also other tributaries must be repaired in one piece, which requires a large number of craftsmen, especially excellent craftsmen. "

When Li Xuan said this, she turned sideways and looked at He Yiqiu.

He Yiqiu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this subordinate will come up with a strategy as soon as possible."

"Be quick." Li Xuan sighed softly and said, "Time waits for no one, so before summer comes, please brother He to work harder."

With that said, Li Xuan turned to look at Li Zhaode and said: "It is better to work hard now than to do it again when it is raining heavily and making it difficult to move in the future."

"What the prince said is absolutely true." Li Zhaode nodded seriously.

"Brother He and the East Palace may not be able to communicate easily. When the time comes, I will ask Chang Shi to have more contact with the East Palace. Later, I will ask Su Sima. He is the commander of the East Palace and the Sima of Yongzhou. With him here , it will be much easier to communicate." Li Xuan looked up at the east palace gate in front.

"Yes!" Li Zhaode and He Yiqiu nodded at the same time.

"As for Luoyang, just go directly to Luozhou Yuan Changshi. He has always been active in this kind of thing."

Having said this, Li Xuan couldn't help but smile, waved her hands and said: "Let's go, let's go see the prince."

"Yes!"

……

"That's what happened. Please ask Brother Su for more help." Li Xuan looked at the Mingde Hall in front of him and slightly arched his hand towards Su Liangsi.

"Everything is for the sake of the court, and the good heir should do his best." Su Liangsi returned the gift, nodded towards He Yiqiu and Li Zhaode, and then looked at Li Xuan and said: "I also want to thank the prince for recommending the good heir to the prince. "Secretary Supervisor."

"It didn't work out after all." Li Xuan waved her hand and said, "Even if you take that position and practice for a year, it's better than leaving it alone."

After all, the Secretary Supervisor is a third-grade official. Even if he is temporarily transferred to inspect the school for a year, and then gives up his position when Wu Sansi needs to be transferred next year, it is better than leaving it empty.

Although the fourth-rank officials were already important ministers in the court, the third-rank officials were the core of the Tang Dynasty. Even if Su Liangsi only inspects the school for one year, it will be much easier to be promoted from the fourth grade to the third grade in the future.

But unfortunately it didn't work out.

"Although I have no hope, I heard that Your Majesty seems to have other ideas." Su Liangsi said suddenly, then pointed to the Mingde Hall and said: "Your Majesty, please."

Li Xuan was slightly stunned. What happened in the meantime?
But now is not the time to talk about this, Li Xuan immediately stepped into the Mingde Hall.

But at this moment, his pace completely slowed down.

……

In the Mingde Hall, Li Xiangao sat in the center.

On the left are the two prime ministers Liu Rengui and Xue Yuanchao, as well as Yao Lingzhang, Su Liangsi, Wei Ji, Cheng Wuzhong, Yang Jiong, Song Zhiwen, Lu Zhaolin and other East Palace officials.

On the right are Huang Rensu, Ouyang Tong, Cen Wenwen, Wei Xuantong, Doulu Qinwang, Lu Yuanfang and others.

All the officials in the East Palace were there, but Liu Rengui also came.

Two ministers from the court came, three ministers came, and Lu Yuanfang came.

Several doctors from the Six Divisions and Shaoqing from the Nine Temples also came.

Li Xuan's eyes glanced behind him, and Wu Sansi nodded slightly at him.

Next to Wu Sansi, Yuan Wanqing, Yang Zhirou, and Di Renjie were also sitting.

Li Xuan was a little confused. Wasn't what happened today because he taught Li Xian and then the officials in the East Palace picked on him? Why did so many people come all of a sudden...

Li Xian stood up and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, please take a seat. I am here today to listen to Uncle Wang's masterpiece. Today, my father has a decree and asked all relevant ministries to send people to listen."

"Okay!" Li Xuan cupped her hands and said, "I have met His Highness, and I have met all of you."

"I've met Prince Peng." Everyone on both sides stood up and bowed their hands.

Even Liu Rengui and Ouyang Tong were no exception. Li Xuan had a wry smile in his heart, but his whole face was already extremely solemn.

Li Xuan walked behind Li Xian's table and said, "I originally prepared an article today, but with so many people here today, it seems inappropriate."

"Oh, what article has Uncle Wang prepared? Let me take a look first." Li Xian was curious for a moment.

Li Xuan calmly handed the article out of his sleeve and placed it on Li Xian's desk.

After Li Xian took it, he sat down, looked around and said, "All the ministers, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness." As everyone sat down, they couldn't help but look at the memorial in Li Xian's hand, wanting to know what article Li Xuan had prepared.

Li Xian had already lowered his head, his eyes fell on the paper, and he saw Li Xuan writing: "The title of Di Huaiying is in Guangdong. There is a Zi who has paid for his family, and he is willing to let his servants live there. His job is to find, guide, and Rules, rules, ropes, and ink are not the tools used in every home..."

Di Renjie's house was in Guangdefang. One day, a carpenter knocked on his door, hoping to rent an empty house to live in and serve the owner in lieu of rent.

The land in Chang'an is expensive, so asking for rent is common.

The craftsman is in charge of tools for measuring lengths, planning squares and circles, and correcting straightness.

However, he did not stock sharpening and cutting tools at home.

Di Renjie asked him what his abilities were, and the carpenter said: "I am good at calculations, measuring wood, and seeing whether the style of the house is suitable. I direct and drive, and the craftsmen do it. Without me, a house cannot be built."

Therefore, when I was supported by the government, I received three times more salary than others; when I worked in a private household, I received more than half of the total remuneration. "

The matter was settled like this. Then one day, Di Renjie entered his house. His bed was missing a leg but he did not repair it.

Di Renjie asked the reason and he said: "We will ask other craftsmen to repair it."

For a moment, people doubted whether he really had the ability he said.

Later, Yongzhou Prefecture wanted to repair the government buildings.

Di Renjie happened to pass by there, and then he saw the craftsman who rented his house, holding a long ruler in his left hand and a wooden stick in his right hand, standing among the officials and family members, measuring the condition of the house and inspecting the performance of the wood.

Finally, he directed the craftsmen with axes and saws to start repairing the house.

Everyone obeyed his orders, and no one acted on his own initiative.

Finally, the man drew a detailed picture of the official office on the wall, without any errors.

It wasn't until after it was completed that he wrote his name on it.

"After hearing about it, I know that his skills are great.

Then he sighed and said: He will give up his craft and focus on his mind, and he will be able to understand the essentials of the body!

I heard that those who work hard serve others, and those who work hard serve others.

Thank you for your hard work! Those who are able use it and those who are wise plan it, and those who are wise will love it!

This is enough to serve the emperor and follow the laws of the world.

Nothing comes close to this...

I said that Ziren's Tao is similar to Xiang, so he wrote it down and hid it.

Ziren, who was the first to judge curves and shapes in ancient times, is now called a "du material craftsman".

There are specialties in the art industry, that's all. "

After Li Xian read Li Xuan's article, he sighed softly and said: "Those who work hard serve others, and those who work hard serve others. After that, they will specialize in skills and be taught alone."

Li Xuan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty will be enthroned this year. Songshan, Luoyang, Luohe, Weihe, and Chang'an each have many things to do, so things cannot be forced. There are specialties in the arts, that's all... Your Highness needs to follow suit." This is the way to govern people. If there is order from top to bottom, the world will be governed."

"That makes sense." Li Xian nodded in satisfaction and said, "In the early years, some people said that Uncle Wang was not good at poetry and prose, but there was "On the Han Dynasty" before and "On the Qin Shihuang Emperor" later. Today's "Biography of the Carpenter" is also a timeless article. However, what Uncle Wang said just now may not be appropriate. I wonder if there are other good works?"

For a moment, all the eyes of the officials in the palace fell on Li Xuan.

Li Xuan handed over...
