Datang: You Can't Imagine the Happiness of the Prince

The fourth is also quite diligent now, the fifth and sixth are not doing anything wrong, and each of your majesty’s sons is a dragon and a phoenix.”

After listening to Li Shimin, he snorted coldly: "Okay, those little brats are even carrying tofu on hemp ropes, and they can't even lift it up."

"The third child is knowledgeable and reasonable, but sometimes he has too many concerns.

The fourth is very diligent now, but he is almost as stunned as Kuan'er, and he knows how to mess around with things all day long."

"The old five and the six are not doing anything wrong, but this ghost is not lacking at all.

Anyway... I can see that, following the big brother Kuan'er, these little brats will not be very obedient in the future."

Empress Zhangsun curled her lips: "Your Majesty, don't patronize and say, eat quickly, the dishes are cold."

The Empress Changsun also didn't expose Li Shimin's lies. Although Li Shimin scolded his son, he couldn't hide the smile in the corner of his eyes.

Li Shimin was not happy on the surface, but in fact he was happy in his heart.

Now the palace is calm, and although there are occasional frictions between the princes, the brotherhood is getting deeper and deeper, which is what Li Shimin wants to see.

Although Li Shimin was not convinced, he was trying to keep his face.

Li Shimin now sleeps with a smile on his face, and can wake up laughing when he dreams at night. You say he is not happy that Li Shimin drank the beer in the glass in one breath, then picked up the chopsticks and pulled the rice, and began to eat.

This pheasant chicken is really good. It has been stewed for so long, and it is still chewy. The mushrooms inside are also fragrant and tender.

The fish head is the best, Li Shimin put it on his rice with chopsticks.

The fried dried shrimp with chives was full of flavor, and Li Shimin finished eating a bowl of rice and added another bowl.

The steamed wild vegetables were full of garlic fragrance and tasted quite refreshing. Li Shimin felt that he should have another glass of beer.

After eating and drinking, Li Shimin scooped up a bowl of soup. The umami taste from the depths of the sea made Li Shimin very intoxicated.

After eating and drinking, Li Shimin went downstairs for a two-step walk, and then came back for a lunch break. The day was quite pleasant.

After Li Shimin arrived at the Qinling Mountains, he did not have to worry about the political affairs of the court every day.

The imperial court has Fang Xuanling and the other ministers to help watch, and it can already operate on its own.

After Li Shimin arrived at the Qinling Mountains, he only issued an imperial decree that Qin Qiong from the north should send troops to Liaodong.

Now the Northwest and Northeast of the Tang Dynasty are using soldiers, it is the same as the two fists that the Tang Dynasty stretched out.

The giant Datang finally stopped remaining silent, and stretched out his fists, it seemed that someone was going to be unlucky.

After Hou Junji in the northwest captured three, they only rested for two days, and then began to use troops.

Further west, Khotan, Yuezhi, and the nine surnames of Zhaowu will soon become the ghosts of Hou Junji's sword.

In fact, the fate of the small country in the Western Regions was already settled as early as the moment Hou Junji dispatched troops.

But what makes Fang Xuanling feel uneasy now is that Qin Qiong from the northeast side is also constantly using troops.

Originally, Fang Xuanling thought that the purpose of using troops in Liaodong was to deal with Goguryeo, but when Li Shimin's will came out, he knew that this time Qin Qiong was not going to deal with Goguryeo at all, but those farther north...... Savage tribe.

This really makes Fang Xuanling puzzled, and you can be forgiven for saying that you are fighting against Goguryeo.

After all, Koguryo, a small country, has invaded and occupied a lot of land in the Central Plains dynasty. Although the ministers in the court did not want the Tang Dynasty to use troops all the time, everyone's attitude towards Goguryeo was surprisingly consistent.

Since ancient times, when the emperor is naturally thinking about the infallibility of Ca Mau.

This Kyushu Dading is missing a corner.

Every aspiring emperor could not bear this.

What's more, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty fought against Goguryeo three times in the previous dynasty, and so many compatriots in the Central Plains died. Whether it was to regain the land he deserved or to avenge his compatriots, this Goguryeo must be taken.

And now that the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and morale is high, it is not abrupt to send troops to deal with Goguryeo.

But why Qin Qiong suddenly launched an offensive against the... savages in the north of Goguryeo, this is really unexpected.

That Fang Xuanling was about to study the palindrome of the Hebei Marching Road, when his deputy ran in with a panic-stricken face, saying that Wei Zheng, the censor doctor, was here again.

As soon as Fang Xuanling heard it, like a rat who saw a cat, he squeaked and ran through the back door.

This Wei Zheng is here again, needless to say, he must be complaining to himself.

That Fang Xuanling was also very annoying, he didn't want to hear Wei Zheng's grievances here every day.

And that Wei Zheng went outside Fang Xuanling's office aggressively, but a clerk stood at the door with a smile and greeted Wei Zheng.

"Master Wei, are you looking for our Zhongshuling?"

"Isn't this younger generation knowingly asking this, old man, who else can I find if I don't find Zhongshuling? Hurry up and report to me."

"It's really unfortunate, Lord Wei, our Lord Fang is not in this official room."

After Wei Zheng heard this, his eyebrows wrinkled, a little unhappy.

"Where can Mr. Fang go when he is not in the official room, Mr. Fang is the most diligent in administration, and he will not leave at all if he does not sit down to the hour every day."

"It's a coincidence that our Master Fang went to Shangshu Province to find the eldest grandson to shoot."

Hearing this, Wei Zheng frowned even more deeply.

This Fang Xuanling went to find Changsun Wuji for what to do. The two of them didn't deal with them, and they were not the same people. If there was nothing special, Fang Xuanling would never go to Changsun Wuji.

After thinking about it, Wei Zheng asked, "What are you doing, Master Fang, going to Shangshu Province to find Master Zhangsun?"

"I don't know about this subordinate, but it should be that the Hebei Dao Qin General is attacking Liaodong now, and our Master Fang is going to discuss with Master Changsun about the supply of food and grass."

Chapter 728

At this time, Wei Zheng was closed, and his dark face was getting darker and darker, almost turning into a dark cloud cover.

"Alas! It's not a crime to keep fighting, and it's fighting again, and the people are not living well, isn't it?"

After saying this, Wei Zheng stomped his feet and turned away. Since Fang Xuanling was not here, he wouldn't waste time here.

That Fang Xuanling left the back door and really went to Shang Shusheng to find Changsun Wuji. His little deputy was not lying, he really wanted to ask Changsun Wuji to deal with a pair of grain and grass in Liaodong.

In this court, everything is done according to the law, not everyone must follow what the emperor says.

After all, this imperial court has been running smoothly for thousands of years. The three-province and six-minister system was actually started only in the previous dynasty, but the prototype of the three-province and six-minister system was the county system that had already begun in the Qin and Han dynasties.

The central government has a high degree of centralization of local power, and there is a highly efficient central department to control the people's livelihood and livelihood of the whole world.

This is the case from small to food, clothing, housing and transportation,,,, to large to marching and fighting. It does not mean that some things are very simple, and the court will not care.

For everything, the court has the rules of the court, even if it is just to buy a toilet, the court has to follow the rules.

In fact, procedural justice first came from here.

From ancient times to the present, every dynasty has never pursued an absolute result.

It's not that you did it, the way you did it was...correct.

Just like Qin Qiong sent troops to sweep Liaodong this time, he did not submit a request for food allocation to Zhongshu Province, which is a very rare thing.

You must know that no matter how small a battle is, even if it is just to capture a city or exterminate a bandit on a hill, everything must be done according to the rules.

Before the troops and horses are moved, the food and grass will go first. The imperial court wants to know your marching route and distribute the food and grass to you in advance.

From the nearest Changping warehouse, the grain and grass are allocated, and then the grain transport officer escorts the grain and grass to the military camp for delivery, which is in line with the rules.

And every day when the army marches and fights, how much food and grass are eaten, the secretary in the army must record it.

This is not just to ensure that no one is greedy.

And it is also to accumulate data and prepare for future marches and wars.

But this time Qin Qiong had already dispatched troops, and he heard that he had already penetrated into the hinterland of the savages, but his request to the imperial court to allocate food was never sent to Zhongshu Province, which was very abnormal.

Although Fang Xuanling had already guessed it, he had to discuss this matter with Changsun Wuji.

There is a lot of grain and grass in Hebei, there is no doubt about this, after all, many of the grains in Changping warehouses in Guanzhong and Central Plains are shipped from Hebei.

But even if you have more food and grass, you can't control it at will. Although Your Majesty has ordered you to send troops to crusade the savages, the proper procedures still have to be followed.

You must submit a request to the Zhongshu Province for the allocation of grain and grass, and the Shushu Province agrees to allocate grain to you from the nearest granary.

This would have been the normal process.

But now there is a problem, that Fang Xuanling must ask Zhangsun Wuji to ask clearly, because Zhangsun Wuji is in charge of the Ministry of Household in charge of the world's grain, grass and money, and he knows this matter best.

If the eldest grandson Wuji is not clear, it is... he is a dereliction of duty as the Minister of the Household.

That Fang Xuanling walked outside Changsun Wuji's official room, just as Changsun Wuji was about to go out, he was blocked by Fang Xuanling.

Zhangsun Wuji was a little surprised when he saw Fang Xuanling standing at the door.

"Master Fang, you are a rare visitor."

"Lord Zhangsun, I won't say polite words. Fang has come to find adults this time, but he has something important to discuss."

The eldest grandson Wuji stretched out his hand and invited Fang Xuanling to enter. Everyone else in the household knew the current affairs and immediately knew to stay away.

Two prime ministers talk about official business, which is not something ordinary people can listen to.

The two sat down, and the eldest grandson Wuji looked at the document in Fang Xuanling's hand, and immediately understood Fang Xuanling's intention.

"Brother Fang, you didn't come to Liaodong for General Qin, right?"

"Lord Changsun, why should you ask this question clearly? There is something very strange about this matter."

"If that's the case, then Master Fang will ask."

Zhangsun Wuji smiled and seemed to be magnanimous.

"Lord Changsun, Qin Qiong, the deputy general manager of the Hebei Marching Road, led people to exterminate Shiwei Yeren and captured the land north of Liaodong.

This military order has been issued, and Qin Qiong has already begun to march, but why did he not submit a request for the allocation of food and grass to the Zhongshu Province? Is it because the Ministry of Household did not pass through the Zhongshu Province, and the food and grass could not be transferred?"

The eldest grandson Wuji heard it immediately.

He slapped the table and stood up: "Master Fang, do you know what is the crime of secretly allocating food and grass to the army without the transfer order of Zhongshuling?

"Moreover, our households are all people with a heart like a mirror, and we will never do such unruly things.

We don't do things that don't follow the rules, and Master Fang can rest assured."

Fang Xuanling nodded after hearing this, which was exactly as he had guessed.

This eldest grandson Wuji is also a defender of ministers' rights, and he is also a civil minister, and he is not born to deal with military generals.
