Hong Fan's article talks about the method of governing the people between hardness and softness. It is an article in Shangshu, and some people also call it Luoshu.
It is one of the classics that the children of the royal family need to understand and understand.
At Li Lizhi's current age, it is difficult to understand the concepts of law, Tao and rules and regulations, and it is difficult for her to read.
Finally, when she saw her mother coming, she breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to beg to leave.
Seeing that his daughter was not up to par, Li Shimin sighed helplessly and took out a volume of memorials, "This is what Yue'er approved."
Empress Changsun took the memorial out of curiosity and said, "Yueer's writing and handwriting are better than before."
Li Shimin said solemnly: "It involves government affairs, and if the princess is involved, it will not sound good if word spreads."
"I think this memorial written by Yue'er is very good. Rather than saying it was written by Yue'er, it is better to say that it was taught to her by Zhang Yang."
"If this is the case... it can block a lot of criticism." Li Shimin drank tea leisurely, "I heard that Ke'er's recent military training has had miraculous results, and I plan to go and ask about it."
Queen Changsun nodded and said, "I haven't seen Ke'er for a long time."
After cleaning up, Li Shimin sent people to summon Li Ke. When they arrived at the palace, they looked carefully. They saw that this boy had grown a lot taller after half a year. "Tomorrow is the prince's wedding, so I summoned you here. You will go to the banquet at noon tomorrow."
Li Ke bowed and said: "My child takes orders."
Li Shimin was used to his blunt attitude, "I heard that your recent military training has been quite effective?"
"It was my brother-in-law who gave me instructions, and I trained according to the rules."
"Don't believe everything Zhang Yang says." Li Shimin warned while drinking tea.
"My child, please remember your father's teachings."
Li Shimin was worried and helpless about this child. No matter what he was told, he could always agree without any intention of refuting or questioning.
As a father, I feel more alienated from my children.
The couple Zhang Yang and Yue'er are becoming more and more important in the hearts of these children.
Without this couple, Empress Changsun would not dare to think about what this family...and so many children would be like in the future.
Besides Your Majesty, it is not a bad thing that the children will have someone they can rely on in the future, and Zhang Yang has a good character and is very good to the children.
He and Your Majesty are both king, subject and son-in-law, and their conflicting interests are a mess.
As a queen, Empress Changsun wanted her family to live in harmony.
Your Majesty often loses his temper because of Zhang Yang's affairs.
If Zhang Yang could give in and be more obedient to His Majesty, the situation would not be as tense as it is now.
The two of them should also find a chance to talk calmly.
In the palace, both His Majesty and the Queen had their own plans and worries.
After the busy days of spring plowing, more people came to Chang'an City, and the news of the prince's marriage also spread throughout Chang'an City.
People are talking more about the fact that the Crown Princess is a woman with a very simple background.
The Crown Princess does not come from a wealthy family.
Also because of the prince's wedding, it was rare for the court to take a break.
The family walked to the palace. Li Yue specially styled the two little girls' hair in the same bun and wore the same clothes.
When we arrived at the palace, we first had to meet Empress Changsun. In addition to the etiquette department, we were busy with necessary etiquette.
The queen is still arranging more things.
In the Li Zheng Palace, a group of palace ladies were busy coming and going.
The two little girls were also sorting the cloth and silk together with Li Lizhi.
When it comes to marriages, girls are always the most interested. The Li Zheng Hall was so busy that Zhang Yang simply sat in front of the hall.
After a while, the sun shone, and I picked up the book on the side and read it.
Zhang Yang looked through the volumes, and found that these volumes were all topographies of various places.
Li Shimin came over and sat down beside him, "I thought you would arrive later."
Zhang Yang asked curiously: "Today is the prince's wedding, isn't your majesty going to prepare it?"
"The Xue Yantuo matter has not been decided yet. I just went to listen to the argument between Fang Xuanling and Qin Qiong. I have also read the memorial you approved."
Zhang Yang's eyes were still on the scroll.
"You hope to promote civil strife in Xue Yantuo and create a good opportunity for Tang Dynasty to send troops?"
"Your Majesty, in all foreign wars, the Diplomatic Academy will definitely take the lead. There will be negotiations first and then war. In all foreign wars, we must have a good reputation, right?"
Li Shimin sighed: "You can always find some things that ordinary people neglect, but how can you be sure that Yinan Khan is really not dead?"
Zhang Yang said in a calm tone: "He is indeed not dead. He is controlled by my people in Liaodong. Your Majesty does not need to have these worries. Just leave it to the Foreign Affairs Council."
This made Li Shimin almost spit out the tea he just drank, "In your hand?"
Zhang Yang turned over a page of books and said, "I remember this volume is a topography compiled by our Foreign Affairs Academy."
"When did this happen!"
"It's been a few years and I can't remember. Last month, Liaodong sent news about Yinan Khan's current condition. He is in good health and has no worries."
Li Shimin asked again: "What else are you doing behind my back?"
Zhang Yang took the tea from the palace maid and said, "I have recently been studying the products of the Central Plains, such as silk, minerals, pens, inks, paper and inkstones. These urgently needed products are all in the hands of the rich."
"What do you do with this?"
Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and said, "We in Lishan have accumulated a lot of copper coins, and I plan to take this opportunity to short them."
“What does shorting mean?”
Li Shimin held his forehead.
"With His Majesty's intelligence, it's hard for me to explain."
Li Shimin also picked up a book and read it, "You said you would share the spoils with me, so you must be honest with us."
Zhang Yang thought about it, "I have said everything I can say to His Majesty."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Is there anything you can't say?"
"Your Majesty, please understand that I am also doing this for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."
The monarchs and ministers were sitting outside the palace talking, while Queen Changsun was in the palace, arranging silk and satin, "Remember to roll these silks and satins for the girls from all the families who come to the East Palace."
"Here."
Seeing the maids leaving with their silks and satins, Queen Changsun looked outside the palace and said, "I don't know if Your Majesty and Zhang Yang will have another quarrel."
Li Lizhi carefully put small pieces of brown sugar into wooden boxes, "Father has not lost his temper these days."
Li Yue also said: "My husband is always angry these days, and my children always have a bad rest when they make noise at night."
This is how all mothers have experienced it. This is how Empress Changsun, especially Li Yue, feels now.
The Li Zheng Hall was extremely busy. Even Li Zhi, Gao Yang, and a group of children helped sort out various gifts.
Outside the palace, the leisurely looks of His Majesty and Zhang Yang were in sharp contrast to the situation inside the palace.
After drinking a bowl of tea, Zhang Yang asked puzzledly: "This is the topography compiled by our Foreign Affairs Academy. What does your majesty do with this?"
"I also want to see the customs and customs outside the customs."
"Really?" Zhang Yang put down the scroll and frowned at the eaves of a palace not far away. "I thought that His Majesty, like me, would look for business opportunities from these geographical records."
"Business opportunity? Did you also discover your cotton from these classics?"
Zhang Yang nodded slightly, "Your Majesty asked me to read more books, read more, be a good person and at the same time increase my knowledge through books. The discovery of cotton was an accident. Being able to weave cotton into useful cotton cloth is a necessity of technology."
"Cheng Qian always said in the East Palace that talking to you is very tiring. You can always say some uncommon words that are difficult for others to understand. Now I have realized it."
Zhang Yang said with a sigh: "I want to spread the news to the outside world that Lishan needs to cooperate with more merchants to expand business."
"Does it have anything to do with me?"
Zhang Yang nodded, "I don't have such a wide network of contacts. If His Majesty's people can help, that would be great. If not, I can ask the King of Hejian County for help, so the benefits of short selling..."
"Wait a minute." Li Shimin interrupted: "What do you mean by short selling?"
"It's very simple. In the circulation process of goods, the exchange of silver coins and goods is indispensable, but the exchange amounts of copper coins and silver cakes are different. I can first absorb more silver cakes for the purpose of expanding my business, and then use Lishan's existing
They needed a huge amount of copper coins to move their goods, and if they didn’t have enough goods, they would need to exchange them with silver cakes.”
"This is the time for me to go short. Now there are too many copper coins in Lishan. I used to exchange them with the palace. I have saved them in the past two years and filled three warehouses. I can go short while ensuring that I have enough.
of silver cakes to maintain future production." Zhang Yang finished speaking in one breath and saw Li Shimin frowning, "Does your Majesty understand?"
Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, "What time is it?"
The eunuch replied: "Your Majesty, it's just past noon and everyone has arrived."
Finally the emperor stood up and the Li Zheng Palace was ready.
Hundreds of palace maids were divided into two teams, one in front and one in back.
The emperor and the empress walked side by side to the East Palace.
Zhang Yang and Li Yue followed behind, followed by a group of princesses and princes.
The East Palace is very lively at this moment, and the guests in front of the East Palace are full.
Zhang Yang glanced around and saw that the people outside the hall were all unfamiliar faces. There were many female students behind him, and on the other side were the children of powerful people.
Zhang Yang met Li Daoyan and Li Chongyi.
His Majesty and the Queen arrived, and all the guests bowed and saluted.
Li Shimin stood in front of the palace, and Li Baiyao stood and read loudly a message of congratulations on the marriage. The general meaning was that the prince was humble and kind, and the princess was gentle and virtuous. They also read some words of blessing and encouragement for the wedding.
It's over.
When His Majesty and the Queen entered the East Palace, the people outside the salute relaxed. The first thing many unmarried women looked at was the young man standing behind His Majesty.
The Red Mansion and Butterfly Lovers were written by this man.
Although it is a book, it is only circulated among the Hongwen Hall of the Imperial College. As long as each family does not promote the concepts in the book in a high-profile manner, no one will say anything if they read it in a low-key manner.
There were not many books that rebelled against etiquette, especially among the elders of the gentry who scorned such books.
Which girl is not at the age when love begins, and everyone yearns for a true relationship.
Especially the person who wrote this book.
Seeing that Zhang Yang was a clean-looking young man, and walked behind His Majesty with a neither humble nor overbearing appearance, these girls' evaluations were even higher.
He has a clean face and a scholarly temperament. The only shortcoming is that the green stubble on his chin is too conspicuous.
He also noticed that the princess next to Zhang Yang had a dignified walking posture and the aura between her eyebrows and smile made these girls lower their heads involuntarily.
Li Yue and Zhang Yang were talking quietly.
There are also women who are bold enough to flirt with her, even if he can take a look here. She is young and talented, and even ranks among the six ministers.
Such men are also the subject of discussion in the volume on powerful women.
There are indeed many young talents in Chang'an City, but there is only one young man who is as topical as Zhang Yang and has such achievements.
A woman with a distinguished family background has been asking about this young man for a long time.
Princess Zhang Yang and Runan rarely appeared in front of people. They were only known to visit the queen in the palace from time to time and built Lishan Mountain.
I never go to the usual banquets or the bustling markets in Chang'an City.
Seeing the princess and princes walking into the palace, discussions began again around them.
Zhang Yang is very familiar with the East Palace. He has served in the East Palace for more than half a year. For the prince's wedding, the East Palace was carefully decorated.
The bookshelves that were previously placed here are gone and replaced with tables for entertaining guests.
Different from the people outside the palace, those outside the palace are all young people or descendants of the clan.
The status of everyone in the palace was obviously much higher, including Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian, Yang Shidao and other national relatives.
There were also clan generals headed by Li Daozong.
There were also military generals and civil servants in the DPRK headed by Fang Xuanling and Qin Qiong.
The wife took Xiao Wu and Xu Hui to sit in the back, and Zhang Yang also sat down in his seat.
Zhang Yang picked up a plate of pastries and handed it to his wife who was sitting behind him, "Let's eat something to deal with our stomach first. We have to sit here for a long time, so don't starve."
Li Yue took the cake with one hand and distributed it to the two girls.
"Zhang Yang, long time no see."
When Zhang Yang heard the sound, he looked and saw that it was Gao Shilian. He could escape on the first day of the lunar month but not on the 15th day of the lunar month. They were really enemies.
Come to think of it, how could Gao Shilian not come to the prince's wedding?
Seeing that his beard and hair were all white, Zhang Yang cupped his hands and said, "I thought Xu Guogong had returned to his hometown to retire."
"I invited you to be a guest at home before, why did you refuse?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "There are many affairs in the DPRK and the lower officials have no time to distract themselves."
Gao Shilian smiled at the many guests and said, "Do you have any prejudice against me?"
Zhang Yang sighed: "Xu Guogong misunderstood. He was really busy at the time, so he could only refuse first. He also thought about a few days to make amends, but you also saw that your subordinates still have to help Duke Zheng handle government affairs."
After some explanation, it was considered as prevarication.
Watching the palace maid serve the drinks, the banquet is about to officially begin.
Li Xiaogong, Li Tai, and the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, their grandsons, uncles and nephews are all in Lishan, and the prince has no intention of coming to Chang'an City for his wedding.
Li Tai felt a conflict with Chang'an City in his heart. The little fat man said that he felt like vomiting as soon as he arrived at Chang'an City.
Needless to say, Li Xiaogong acted as guarantee to Li Shimin for Lishan to ensure that the development of Lishan would not be leaked, in order to reassure His Majesty and put aside his grudges.
As for Li Yuan, it was because of his health that he finally succeeded in quitting drinking in Lishan. It would be a pity that he would go to the East Palace for a banquet and the results of his two years of quitting alcohol would be wasted.
"How is your teacher's health?"
Gao Shilian asked again.
I don't know where the old man should sit originally. It's probably not next to him. He should sit next to Changsun Wuji.
It's too late for anyone here to cling to Gao Shilian. Who dares to speak if the old man is sitting there?
Zhang Yang said to the palace maid who was pouring the wine: "Can you change it to tea for me? I don't drink because I feel angry recently."
The palace maid nodded, "I'll change it now."
Gao Shilian added: "Zhang Gongjin is also a person I admire. He was also a brave and resourceful person in the past, but he is a hero in his later years."
"Everyone is subject to birth, aging, illness and death. The teacher has prepared a graveyard for burial, so you don't have to worry."
Hearing this, Gao Shilian smiled in surprise, "How can you, a disciple, talk about your teacher like this?"
