Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 254

The 21st year of Zhenguan, June 28th.

"I have met His Royal Highness the Prince!" Li Chengqian, who was walking in Cuiwei Palace, met an official, who saluted Li Chengqian.

"Are you from Shangshu Province?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Yes! I came to Cuiwei Palace to report to His Majesty on the orders of Zuo Servant," the official said.

"Oh! Did Mr. Fang know that the emperor appointed Li Wei as the Minister of the Household Department?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Zuo Pushe has already known about this matter, and I just told His Majesty about it." The official said.

"What did Fang Gong say?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Zuo Pushe said that Li Wei is a bearded man." The official said.

"Beautiful beard? What do you mean?" Li Chengqian asked.

The official shook his head and said, "This minister doesn't know either!"

"Did your Majesty say anything after hearing this?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Majesty said he understands!" the official said.

"Okay!" Li Chengqian waved him to leave on his own, and the officials saluted and left.

Not long after, Li Er issued an edict and appointed Li Wei as the governor of Luozhou.

In the next two months, first came Niu Jinda from Liaodong, and Li Haijun came from Liaodong to win. There were hundreds of battles, big and small, without defeat and invincible.

Li Er felt that Cuiwei Palace's terrain was too dangerous to accommodate so many civil and military officials, so he asked people to rebuild Yuhua Palace in Phoenix Valley in Yichun.

He returned to Chang'an soon after.

"Father! The preparations for Fengchan are almost ready!" In August, Li Chengqian came to report to Li Er about the preparations for Fengchan.

But Li Eryi's face was full of sorrow.

"I don't know why the father is worried! My son is willing to share the worries for the father!" Li Chengqian said.

"Since Xue Yantuo surrendered to my Tang Dynasty, he has repeatedly built large-scale construction projects. Now that Hebei is flooded, I don't have the mood to enshrine Zen. This is God's warning to me." Li Er sighed.

Since ancient times, emperors have been willing to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen. This is to emphasize the means of the divine right of the king. Generally, in times of peace and prosperity or when the sky is auspicious, emperors will go to Mount Tai to conduct the ceremony of enshrining Zen.

In addition to emphasizing the divine right of the king, it also shows his great achievements. After all, there are several emperors who have been able to enshrine Zen in Mount Tai since ancient times.

The ancients all paid attention to the connection between heaven and man, but Li Chengqian didn't know how to make the connection. Anyway, these are the things of the gods.

The current flood in Hebei is a warning from the heavens to the emperors on earth. After all, whoever makes you king is bestowed by gods.

If God thinks that you are not doing well enough, or that there is something wrong with your virtue, it will send a flood, an earthquake or something, and give you a warning.

Let you keep your own place, don't mess around, and do all kinds of useless things.

"My son thought that there was a flood in Hebei, and now we should send people to Hebei immediately to control the flood and relieve the victims. Only in this way can the wrath of heaven be alleviated."

"If the management is not proper, or if the flood is not dealt with in time, and the victims are not relieved, the heavens may be even more angry. At that time, it will not be as simple as the flood." Li Chengqian said.

Sometimes, natural disasters are accompanied by man-made disasters. In ancient times, these were all attributed to the detriment of the emperor's virtue from the heavens, and it was a warning from the heavens to the emperors.

In any case, it is the local people who suffer.

Naturally, Li Chengqian didn't believe in these ghosts and gods. Floods, earthquakes, etc. were all natural disasters, and had nothing to do with the warning from the sky.

However, Li Chengqian couldn't say it out, otherwise he would be treated as a different kind.

The most urgent task right now is to send people to Hebei to deal with the floods, rescue the victims, and fight floods. This is the top priority.

"I have already sent people to Hebei to deal with this matter, and issued an order to open warehouses to help the victims. You don't have to worry about this matter!" Li Er said.

After listening to Li Er's words, Li Chengqian finally breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, Li Er is quite reasonable in this regard.

"The matter of the Zen Conferring Ceremony?" Li Chengqian asked.

After the flood in Hebei, Li Er would definitely not go to Taishan to enshrine Zen. Now even the heavens are angry, why Li Er still has the face to go to Taishan to enshrine Zen, but Li Chengqian still needs to ask one more question.

"Let's forget about the ceremony of enshrining the Chan, and I will issue an edict to stop the ceremony of conferring the Chan next year." Li Er said.

"My son, leave!" Li Chengqian saluted and withdrew, and the matter of enshrining Zen in Mount Tai was terminated, so there was no need for him to continue supervising the matter of enshrining Zen.

On the same day, Li Er issued an edict to stop all activities related to the ceremony of enshrining Zen in Mount Tai. Moreover, Li Er would also conduct sacrifices, pray for forgiveness from heaven, and pray for the people of Li.

"Father! Why are you so happy?" Li Chengqian looked at the smiling Li Er and asked.

Could it be that the floods in Hebei were managed properly and have achieved results? It shouldn't be!Based on the distance, the people sent by Chang'an should still be on the way.

So in history, what happened this month?

Li Chengqian thought for a while, except that the Guligan clan of the Tie Le tribe sent envoys to pay tribute this month, and Li Ercan granted Guligan Tujin the title of governor, and his location was Xuanque Prefecture.

Could it be that the envoys of the Guligan clan have come?It shouldn't be!He is the farthest tribe of the Tiele tribe, even if he sent an envoy to Beijing, it would not be so fast.

The Guligan tribe is located in the north of the Uighurs, north of the vast sea, and has [-] excellent soldiers. Compared with the Uighurs, it is a small tribe. The Guligan tribe produces good horses.

"Just received the border military report that the Guligan tribe sent envoys to pay tribute to Chang'an, and they are on their way now." Li Er's words pulled Li Chengqian back from his contemplation.

"This is really a great joy! Congratulations to the emperor, the four seas return to their hearts, and all nations come to court!" Li Chengqian saluted.

"Well! However, it will take some time for Gu Ligan to come to Chang'an, and he will not arrive in Chang'an until the [-]th of this month."

"This time, Gu Ligan paid tribute to hundreds of good horses. I plan to appoint Gu Ligan's Qi Jin as the governor, and his tribe is Xuanque Prefecture. What do you think!" Li Er said.

"Father and Emperor Qiangang can decide this matter arbitrarily, and my son has no objection!" Li Chengqian said.

"By the way! A native of Qizhou, Duan Zhichong, wrote a letter to discuss the matter, asking me to hand over all government affairs to you; what's your opinion on this matter?" Li Er asked.

After Li Chengqian heard this, his face was full of worry, and his back was sweating profusely. If this matter is not said well, then it is a serious matter.

Li Chengqian hurriedly fell to his knees with a thud, and wept loudly: "Father, my son absolutely has no such intentions. I ask my father to issue an order to kill such rebellious people, so as to avoid future troubles."

"Your uncle and others asked me to execute Duan Zhichong, don't you want to take power in the court?" Li Er said.

Li Chengqian knew that if he didn't answer well, he might be in danger today. It's really not empty talk to accompany a king like a tiger.

"I want to, but I can't do that!" Li Chengqian said firmly.

Li Er didn't expect Li Chengqian to say that, so he asked, "Why?"

"My son would rather cut himself off than do something disobedient and unfilial." Li Chengqian said.

No matter what Li Chengqian said was true or not, Li Er was very satisfied after hearing it, and felt warm in his heart.
