Wentang

Chapter 629 Governor and Final Battle
Yue Shan spent his honeymoon here, and there was a small disturbance in the court because of him.

On the second day after he got married, the censor impeached him for extravagance, violation of wedding etiquette, and causing bad influence.

Li Shimin naturally wanted to protect his son-in-law, he was very satisfied with this wedding, which not only showed Yue Shan's love for Li Lizhi, but also made the royal family feel dignified.

Now someone impeached him is naturally unhappy.

Etiquette?rule?
That is for ordinary people. I am the emperor, above everything else. The marriage of my most beloved daughter cannot be overstated.

You people are just looking for smoke when you have nothing to do.

This is Li Shimin's real thought.

There is a word called self-satisfaction. At this time, he has gradually developed this kind of thinking.

After ascending to the throne for more than ten years, he captured Xieli alive and defeated the Eastern Turks, eliminated all the separatist forces and truly completed the great unification of the Central Plains, and developed Lingnan to create a brand new granary for the Tang Dynasty...

The achievements one after another, coupled with the praises of the ministers, make it difficult for people not to get lost in it.

Despite the assistance of the eldest grandson Wugou and the vigilance of Wei Zheng and other critical officials, this complacency still burst out uncontrollably.

It's just that he is still the most sober, knowing what to do and what not to do, and he can listen to people's advice.So even though Yu Shi was very impatient to impeach Yue Shan, he didn't show it on the spot.

Especially after the strength faction headed by Wei Zheng also stood up and expressed his position, he became even calmer.

Today's matter must be handled with a result that satisfies everyone, otherwise, I'm afraid Yue Shan will be set on fire.

However, Yue Shan is not without teammates. Jing Junhong, Kong Yingda and others have stood up to support him.

That's all, even Xiao Yu stood up to speak for him, which no one expected.

Did Xiao Yu form an alliance with Yue Shan?This is what everyone thinks.

But Xiao Yu didn't pay attention to everyone's thoughts, and bluntly said that people can spend the money they earn by themselves as they like, and it's your turn to object?
Besides, how many great achievements did Qing Shuihou have? Because of his age, he can't get the rewards he deserves. What's the problem with being extravagant when he gets married?
As soon as this remark came out, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the censors were immediately unhappy. Whether it is merit or demerit cannot be generalized.

Yue Shan's supporters are also unwilling, what is reckless behavior, isn't it just a little bit extravagant when they get married, and it's not in the way.

After some debate, Li Shimin finally spoke up, Yue Shan was indeed too wasteful this time, and the influence was not good, so he should be punished.But he had a lot of credits in the past that were not rewarded, and this time the two phases are offset.

That is to say, there is no reward or punishment.

The censors were naturally unwilling and objected one after another, but this time no one supported them, and the matter passed lightly like this.

It looked like Yue Shan had been punished, but in fact everyone knew it was just a cutscene to make everyone look good.

The credits of Yue Shan have been in the past for too long, and it is basically impossible to award them again. It is a thorn in the emperor and the officials to keep them in the credit book like this.

How good it is now, that thorn has been pulled out in a reasonable, lawful and aboveboard manner.

But has Yue Shan's contribution really been wiped out?Impossible, it was just erased from the credit book, but the emperor and his officials knew what was going on.

In the future, when Yue Shan reaches his age, he can easily make up for the credit by making a little credit.

This is a happy result for all, um, except for some censors.

But soon the news of an explosion came out again, completely blocking Yu Shi's mouth.

Princess Changle gave all the fabrics of Shili Hongzhuang to the predestined people. It was silk and satin worth more than 20 guan.

Even the eldest grandson Wugou who had the biggest pockets in the world couldn't believe that his daughter would do this.

It is said that it is given to someone who is destined, but in fact most of them are ordinary people.

Still the same sentence, the vitality of Datang has gradually recovered over the years, but the lives of the people are still difficult.Silk has nothing to do with them. For most people, it is impossible to wear clothes made of silk in their lifetime.

Their clothes are mainly made of linen. Of course, there is more cotton now, and the wedding dress worn by the bride is also made of linen.

Li Lizhi gave them silks and satins decorated with ten miles of red makeup. Even if these silks are not top-notch, they are still a considerable wealth for the common people.

And when she gave it away, she also considered the practical use, each one was enough to make a bride's wedding dress.That is to say, when these recipients marry their daughters, they can also have a wedding dress made of silk.

Even if you are reluctant to wear it yourself, you can sell it to other rich people, and the price is much higher than the actual price.

the reason is simple.

Yue Shan is recognized as a child of a fairy, and the things he uses for marriage are auspicious, which can bless the family with good luck and safety.

What's more, those silks and satins are written with more than 99 wedding wishes created by 1000 scholars, which is even more precious.

Poor people may not pay attention to these, those rich people definitely pay attention to it.

In fact, this is indeed the case. As soon as Li Lizhi sent out these silks and satins, a big business of "princess cloth" was born there.

Princess cloth, also known as auspicious cloth, specifically refers to those silks and satins used to decorate the red makeup when Yue Shan and Li Lizhi got married.

Those rich people began to try their best to acquire these fabrics from the common people, either for their own use or for collection.

Normally, they don't mind robbing, but this matter involves the eldest princess and Yue Shan. Even the emperor and empress know about it.

Erdao traffickers quickly discovered the business opportunity and got involved.

As for the ordinary people... everyone is very realistic, what silk wedding dress, what auspiciousness, there is no such thing as jingling coins, except for a very small number of people, most of them have changed hands and sold the cloth in their hands.

There are buyers, sellers and second-hand dealers, and a business is born naturally.

This business has even existed for decades, fed a large number of people, and created a large number of rich people. It did not gradually disappear until the consumption of this batch of cloth was almost exhausted.

Some people have to ask, why no fakes?
There are fakes, but not many.There is no way, there are poems written by famous masters on these cloths, and the authenticity can be seen by checking the handwriting.

Of course, it is precisely because of these poems that the market for 'princess cloth' can be hyped up.

Closer to home.

The people who got the benefits were naturally grateful to Yue Shan and Li Lizhi, and naturally they would not spread their gossip casually, and would even stand up and refute when they heard someone making rumors.

Because the negative impact of the extravagance of the ten-mile red makeup was quickly eliminated, and even Yueshan's reputation benefited from it.

It can only be said that money can turn ghosts around.

Once the negative impact disappears, Yu Shi naturally has no reason to impeach, even if impeachment is forced, no one will pay attention to it.

Besides, there are so many major events happening in the court every day, and the censor is also very busy, so he doesn't have time to stare at Yue Shan all day long.

So soon no one was paying attention to Yue Shan, and he led his new wife to live a happy life without shame and shame every day.

Anyone who has experienced it knows that some things, like women's clothing, only have zero or countless times. It's okay to say that you haven't touched it.

Before crossing Yueshan, I had a few girlfriends, so I knew many things.

After time travel, I was too young and weak at the beginning, and later I devoted myself to studying knowledge, xinxing, cultivation, self-control and self-control, so I didn't think much about it.

There is a saying that the harder the spring is pressed, the stronger the rebound will be when it is released.

This is the case with him.

It has been restrained for more than ten years, but this release is indeed a bit out of control.

In addition to taking care of the bride's body a few days ago, Li Lizhi completely let go when she got used to it.

Well, what he said was that he played with Li Lizhi every day, and when he didn't see him for a moment, he felt something was missing in his heart, very much like the feeling of his first love in the previous life.

Don't overthink it.

In order to facilitate the world of the two, the two also moved to the princess mansion next door.

At the beginning, Li Lizhi disagreed. She followed the example of her eldest sister, Princess Xiangcheng, and also wanted to live in Yuefu so that she could be filial to her parents-in-law.

But Yue Shan has a different idea. As a time traveler, he still likes the way of his previous life.Parents are still young, so they live separately if possible, which is convenient and saves a lot of talking.

When the parents are old and need someone to take care of them, they will live together to support them until the end of their lives.

Now Yue and Lao Si are only in their thirties, and they are so strong that they can kill a cow with one punch. It is indeed inconvenient for a large family to squeeze together... At least Yue Shan thinks so.

Besides, Princess Changle's mansion is very close to Yue's mansion, less than two miles away, so it is convenient to travel and there is no need to live together now.

But his statement is completely inconsistent with the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not accepted by everyone, and Li Lizhi also disagrees.

In the end, he forcibly persuaded her to go away on the grounds that he thought about the world of two people.

Instead of being angry, Yue Laosi and his wife breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that they don't like Li Lizhi's daughter-in-law, but that they don't like it.

That's the eldest princess, the pressure of living together is quite high.Li Lizhi greeted them every day, which was really uncomfortable for them.

Moreover, Li Lizhi did not marry here alone, and a large number of servants who were dowry also lived here.The originally large Yue Mansion seemed a little crowded, and the most important thing was that the original order was completely disrupted...

Anyway, it was all kinds of discomforts. After recovering from the joy of their son's finally getting married, the fourth Yue and his wife began to miss the affluent and simple life before.

Now Yue Shan is going to take Li Lizhi to live in the Princess Mansion for a while. Instead of being angry, they think that their son has noticed their awkwardness and is considerate of them.

So everyone is happy.

When they arrived at the princess mansion, there were no parents to take care of them. The couple, especially Yue Shan, let go of themselves completely, and there was only a big meeting in the wine pool and meat forest.

Although Li Lizhi knew that this was not good, but the newlywed Yan Er was also indulging in concubine love, so she couldn't bear to persuade her.

The couple are here to let themselves go, but the court will not stop because of their absence. On the contrary, it has been making big moves recently.

First, there is the division of Lingnan's east and west roads and the appointment of officials at all levels. This time, there is a change in the appointment of officials that is enough to attract everyone's attention.

The Dao Yamen of the East and West Roads in Lingnan was officially established.

It has been said before that it is only a supervisory agency, not an administrative agency.Although Yueshan's reform included a plan to establish a provincial-level administrative agency, Li Shimin did not directly implement it out of careful consideration.

Instead, several agencies have been set up at the Dao level, such as supervisory agencies, such as the Criminal Division Yamen, such as the Academic Affairs Division, and so on.

Only Lingnan Road set up a governor's office because of the need for unified management due to the new attachment, but in name it was only a temporary institution.

Although everyone knows that sooner or later the first level of Taoism will open a mansion and build a government office, but no one knows when.This time everyone knows that a new reform is about to begin.

Because Li Shimin decreed to officially add Lingnan East Road and Lingnan West Road Governor's Yamen to take charge of the two civil affairs.

The governor officially became a permanent official in charge of a civil affairs and appeared on the stage of history.

Lingnan Road has been added, will other roads be far behind?
It is impossible to add only one governor's office, as well as supporting regulatory agencies, the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and so on.Adding a new administrative level is not as simple as adding one more yamen.

The supporting Metropolitan Governor's Office, supervisory agencies and other agencies must be set up.

Calculated, only the number of official court officials increased by dozens, and there were hundreds of officials.

Moreover, the governor is in charge of a department of civil affairs, and the grades range from fourth to third grade. He is a proper feudal official. I don't know how many people are waiting to compete for the position.

There are more radishes needed...there will be more officials, and there will be more opportunities for everyone. Naturally, no one opposes this reform.On the contrary, most officials are eager to implement it nationwide immediately.

It's just that Li Shimin knows that reform must be prudent, and a bad one will cause national turmoil.So there is no rush, let's experiment with remote roads in the south, and it will take at least next year to promote it nationwide.

Moreover, the imperial court can also take this opportunity to observe and reserve more suitable officials, so as to avoid troubles caused by inappropriate officials appointed at the time.

In addition to the addition of the governor's office, there is another major event, the destruction of the Eastern Turks.

Yes, the Eastern Turks, which should have been exterminated a few years ago in history, still exist.

This is again influenced by Yue Shan.

In the original history, Datang seized the opportunity to solve the Eastern Turks within two or three years with a single beating. It was indeed vigorous and resolute, but it also laid a lot of hidden dangers.

Datang also suffered heavy losses in this battle, and was unable to take action against Xue Yantuo and other tribes, so he could only take comforting Huairou methods and let them recuperate.

After a few years, these prairie tribes regained their vigor and became disobedient, and started a new round of war with Datang.

Although Datang at this time is no longer afraid of these grassland tribes, it is also in a strategic offensive position.But wars are always a waste of time and money, and these tribes have also delayed Datang's continued westward pace...

The result is that Li Shimin has been entangled with grassland tribes for the first half of his life, and fell into the quagmire of Goguryeo in the next few years, and has no energy to open up further worlds.

After Yue Shan crossed over, he adopted another method, nibbling and driving away tigers and wolves.

After capturing Xieli alive and defeating the main force of the Eastern Turks, he began to sow discord, causing forces such as Tuli, Suni Shi, and Yu Sheshe to fall into internal fighting.

Whoever is weak in Datang will help them in private, so that they will never be able to complete the reunification.

In order to strengthen their own strength, Tuli and others started to attack other tribes. Tribes of all sizes on the grassland were murdered one after another. In the past few years, hundreds of tribes have been wiped out by them.

Even tribes such as Xue Yantuo and Khitan were affected and their power was greatly weakened.

Datang followed behind to pick up bargains, and gathered hundreds of thousands of grassland people to migrate and resettle to the south.The development of Lingnan is progressing so smoothly, and the population from the grasslands has played a big role.

It can be said that the current population of the grassland has dropped by half. Except for the large tribes who barely survive, the small tribes have almost been wiped out.

Moreover, Datang has been constantly mobilizing various troops to take turns to exercise on the northern grasslands over the years, training and dispatching more than 20 elite troops.

The latest news is that the grassland has suffered heavy snowfall this winter, and the tribes in the grassland, which already lack resources, have suffered heavy casualties and their strength has been further weakened. It is time for harvest.

The Privy Council believes that the time has come to implement the final extermination plan.
