First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 365
...

The Tianshui Jiang family's Jiang Mo lineage had many high-ranking officials during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but the population has not flourished in the past hundred years. Although they are still powerful in Tianshui, there are very few people above the fifth rank.

As the head of the family, Jiang Mo was most disturbed, but he might not have imagined that in the hundreds of years after him, the Jiang family in Tianshui would shine brilliantly and be extremely prominent.

On the original trajectory, Jiang Baoyi was killed in battle, the eldest son Jiang Ke made great military exploits when he became an adult, was promoted to the left prime minister, and became a famous martial arts prime minister, and the second son Jiang Xieguan worshiped Yanran as the guardian.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xingben also died on the battlefield. Emperor Taizong presented it to Duke Yi. Jiang Jiao and Li Longji were friends of the common people, they were named the Duke of Chu, Jiang Hui was the governor of Haizhou, and Jiang Xi was the servant of the Ministry of Rites...

For more than [-] years in the Tang Dynasty, the Jiang family in Tianshui started from Jiang Mo, and the Jiang family in Tianshui has always been active in the center of power. There are dozens of people ranked above the fifth rank, and they are extremely prosperous.

It wasn't until late at night that Jiang Mo showed fatigue, and Gao Chong left. Jiang Baoyi sent him out, and Gao Chong waved his hand, "Let me know as soon as the wedding date is fixed", and then rode his horse and left.

The next day, when Gao Chong was about to go to the Qin Palace, Mending came to report: Duke Qian is visiting.

At this time, Gao Junya was in the Imperial City Government Affairs Hall, not at the mansion, so Gao Chong opened the middle door to welcome her. After all, this was Li Yuan's appointed model of loyalty to the emperor and love for the people.

"Grand Duke Qian is here, and it is a sin to welcome you far away." Gao Chong went forward to greet him and said.

Tian Zongxian has been enjoying a lot of scenery these past few days, his face was flushed, he waved his hands and smiled, "Don't let this old man see you."

After entering the room and taking their seats, Tian Zongxian said directly: "You are going to Jingzhou to take up the post?"

"Exactly", Gao Chong looked at Tian Yangming at the side, and vaguely guessed.

Sure enough, Tian Zongxian said without hesitation: "Then how about you please take Yangming with you? Yangming is about to become an official, but he has practiced martial arts since he was a child and loves military affairs. I want him to be an official from the local area first. It's good to temper and temper."

Tian Yangming is both wise and brave. He lived in Qianzhou for a long time and thought he was very good. But after leaving Qianzhou, he saw heroes from all sides along the way.

After Tian Zongxian finished speaking, Tian Yangming stepped forward to salute and said: "Gao Shijun, although you and I are the same age, I am convinced of you. If it is useful to go to Jingzhou, I will be sent by me."

Tian Zongxian continued: "The old man has been living in Guizhou all his life, and he has no old relationship in the imperial court. He only knows you well. How about giving this thin face to the old man?"

"The Duke of Qian's words are serious," Gao Chong said with a loud smile, "Yangming wants to go together, but you are overjoyed, and worry that no one can use it. In this case, I will ask the saints to enlist Yangming as Jiangling County." How about Wei?"

Tian Zongxian was overjoyed, and immediately cupped his hands to thank: "Youzhi's kindness, Tian's family has recorded it, Yangming, why don't you hurry up and thank you."

Tian Yangming was about to thank him, Gao Chong held him by the arm, and with a smile in his eyes, he said pointingly: "You and I are the same age, so there is no need to be polite. If we go to Jingzhou, we will surely make great achievements."

Hearing these words, Tian Zongxian's eyes lit up. Sure enough, Jingzhou has a lot to gain.

Tian Yangming even packed the salutes, Tian Zongxian left directly with his guards, very relieved.

Undoubtedly, Tian Zongxian probably guessed that Jingzhou was bound to change and would be a place to make contributions. As Tian Zongxian's grandson, if Tian Yangming wanted to become an official, it would only be a matter of Tian Zongxian's memorial. Even in Chang'an, Li Yuan would arrange one. The official positions of the sixth and seventh ranks allowed Tian Yangming to become an official.

But obviously the grandparents of the Tian family thought more. Now that the father and son of the Gao family are very powerful, if they can follow Gao Chong to Jingzhou to make meritorious service and become an official, it will be more important than entering an official under the shadow of a family.

After all, Datang was the first to focus on military merits, which is why Gao Chong was young and high-ranking but no one talked about it.

"I'll call your nickname Donghui." Gao Chong looked at the excited Tian Yangming and said, "Donghui will accompany me to the Qin Palace now."

Tian Yangming responded and asked curiously: "I heard that the envoy is very close to the King of Qin?"

Gao Chong paused, nodded and said, "What's wrong?"

"No", Tian Yangming grinned, "Ask out of curiosity".

When they came to Prince Qin's mansion, there was a flutter of chickens and dogs jumping around. Li Shimin was dressed as a scribe in a long robe, followed by Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others, coming out aggressively.

Tian Yangming was stunned for a moment, with a very astonished expression.

"Well, you Gao Youzhi, it's really a big air to come to me on the last day before leaving," Li Shimin said with a cold snort, with a very unhappy expression on his face.

Tian Yangming's heart skipped a beat, the rumors are wrong?

The next scene made Tian Yangming dumbfounded. He saw Gao Chong actually stepped forward to give Li Shimin a big hug, and exaggeratedly shouted: "Your Majesty, you want to kill me too."

Li Shimin was agitated, hurriedly pushed Gao Chong away, and looked at Tian Yangming, "Who is this?"

"Tian Yangming, the grandson of Lord Guizhou, whose name is Donghui", Gao Chong was stunned, and he turned around and introduced, "I will go to Jingzhou with me."

A gleam of joy flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.

"Tian Yangming has met His Highness King Qin", Tian Yangming didn't dare to be rude, he was busy paying respects.

"Dong Hui doesn't need to be too polite," Li Shimin laughed loudly.

It's all about seeing each other, walking in the Hongwen Hall, Gao Chong looked around, "I didn't expect that the king really built the Hongwen Hall in the palace."

Li Shimin paced around with his hands behind his back, "It's also convenient for me to come and talk about the scriptures."

"However, I still suggest that it is best to set up the Hongwen Museum in the imperial city." Gao Chong said hesitantly: "It is best to be near the gate, merged into the Xiuwen Museum, still in charge of correcting books, teaching students, and becoming an official official. After all The wise men of the world should be used by the country."

Fang Du and the others looked at each other, seeming to realize something.

Li Shimin paused when he heard the words, waved his hand to dismiss his attendants, and came to the pavilion by the lake, there were only five stone benches in the pavilion, Tian Yangming followed the attendants tactfully and walked away after seeing this.

"Sit down," Li Shimin sat down first, and then Gao Chong, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui sat down one by one.

"Did you notice something?" Li Shimin asked directly, "There is no outsider here."

Gao Chong saw that several people were "our own people", so he shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is worrying too much, it's not because I noticed something, it's just that the Hongwen Museum is full of talents, if they are not taken back to the country, I'm afraid it will make people suspicious." .

On the original trajectory, Li Shimin deeply felt that he lacked knowledge, and he was eager to learn and recruit talents, so he set up a literature museum in the Qin Palace. This literature museum is only a private property. Introduce and discuss knowledge from time to time.

It was not until Li Shimin succeeded to the throne that the Literature Museum was merged into the Hongwen Museum. Now there is a Xiuwen Museum in Menxia Province, which was later renamed Hongwen Museum.

Gao Chong went there once, but it was actually the "National Library of the Tang Dynasty".
