A few birds sat on the eaves and kept chirping. When Zhang Xin'an got bored, she would hit the eaves with a pole, and the birds flew up again and scattered in all directions.
After a while, the birds came back again.
Zhang Xin'an picked up the pole and slapped the eaves again to drive away the birds. He could fight these annoying birds for a long time.
Zhang Qingqing finished eating and left with Aunt Xiaohui.
Beside the Huaqing Pond, Zhang Yang continued to read the memorial. In addition to production in various workshops, various counties were also returning farmland to forests.
Each county submitted the trees they planted since last year, among which Jing County planted the most, "Xiaowu."
"Um."
Xiao Wu came over and said, "Master, what are your instructions?"
Zhang Yang compiled the memorials from the twelve counties and handed them to her, "Trees have been planted in each county. You can compile the statistics and make a chart."
She picked up a pile of memorials and walked into the library.
Zhang Yang wrote an approval to each county. In addition to returning farmland to forest, the rivers must be dredged. When there is less rain in Guanzhong in the summer, the rivers need to be dredged, and the rivers must be dredged before the autumn rains come.
Seeing that there were still a lot of memorials to be approved, I sighed in frustration, took a sip of tea and looked at it. This memorial was sent by Zongzheng Temple. After Han Wang Li Yuanchang learned that Li Yuan had passed away, he was filled with grief in his fiefdom and fell ill for a while.
Now that he has recovered slightly from his illness, he wants to come to Chang'an City to worship and fulfill his filial duty as a son.
This is the emperor's family matter. Logically speaking, this kind of news should be sent directly to the emperor.
Zhang Yang wrote a negative reply and put the memorial aside.
It was already afternoon after he finished approving these memorials. Zhang Yang took the chart compiled by Xiao Wu and found that the total number of trees planted in all counties in Guanzhong was only over 8,000.
This kind of progress is not satisfactory. Under the leadership of Di Zhisun alone, tens of thousands of trees were planted in the Hexi Corridor. That's what they did.
Xiao Wu whispered: "Disciple, look at the reports from each county. What these county magistrates say is that there is not enough land. Each county does not have much land for its own use. Most of the land is not enough for farming, let alone planting trees.
.”
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "I understand, please clean up first."
"Here."
After a busy day's work, Zhang Yang relaxed his arms and asked his aunt to deliver these memorials to the entrance of the village, where someone would receive them.
"father!"
His son's shout came from the door of his house. Zhang Yang looked back and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Xin'an grabbed a quacking duck. The duck was flapping and quacking, "Dad, hurry up and make some rice. My kid caught a duck."
Listening to the duck quacking and his son's awkward appearance, Zhang Yang suddenly felt a headache and wanted to slap him!
When did this kid subdue a duck?
"Dad! Stew it quickly!"
Zhang Xin'an grabbed the duck's neck and shouted loudly, fearing that it would escape.
This is the age when you are the most naughty and difficult to control.
Zhang Yang stepped forward and took the duck from his hand, "Hurry up and ask aunt to change your clothes. If your mother sees it, she will punish you again."
Zhang Xin'an then left quickly.
When children reach this age, they are inexplicably curious about everything, and they also inexplicably like to toss and care.
The memorial approved by Lishan was sent to Chang'an City and also entered the Zhongshu Province.
Cen Wenwen had been discussing the revision of national history with everyone in Zhongshu Province these days. When he saw that General Lishan had approved the memorial, he had people bring food over.
He could take advantage of the time when everyone went back to eat and rest to find time to check Lishan's approval memorial.
For a long time, after all the people from Zhongshu Province had dispersed, Cen Wenwen ate his food, chewing it in his mouth and inspecting it carefully.
Ma Zhou came in a hurry and asked, "Are you worried about the memorial approved by Lishan?"
Cen Wenwen said: "It's not that Zhang Yang's character is bad, it's just that he has too many opinions..."
Before he finished speaking, Ma Zhou said: "You still doubt Zhang Yang's character, otherwise you wouldn't have checked."
Cen Wenwen stopped talking, frowned and ate his food without retorting.
In the evening, people distributed these memorials to all the ministries in the central court and all counties in Guanzhong.
Di Renjie and Xu Jingzong were sitting at the door of their house playing chess. A clerk hurriedly came to report, "Master Di, Liu Shangshu asked you to go over there early tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, Di Renjie looked at the chessboard solemnly, "Which Liu Shangshu?"
The other party replied: "Liu Dewei, Minister of Punishment."
Di Renjie put down the chess piece in his hand and said, "I already told you that I don't want to work in his criminal department."
The clerk added: "It's the request of Zhongshu Sheng. Liu Shangshu said that if Mr. Di doesn't go, he will be disobeying his order."
"If you disobey, you will disobey."
Di Renjie said with an indifferent expression.
"But this was approved by the Marquis of Lishan County."
Di Renjie stood up and asked, "Lishan?"
"Yes, it was approved by Minister Zuo Cheng." The little official looked squirming, "But Liu Shangshu also said that if Mr. Di doesn't go, he will personally bring his officers and soldiers to arrest him."
Di Renjie sighed: "Shilang Xu, are you really going to die without saving me this time?"
"Hahaha..." Xu Jingzong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Go if you are told. How can you hesitate? Since it is the wish of the county prince, you should go. If Liu Dewei dares to bully you, I will tear him down."
Temple gate!”
The next day, Xu Jingzong went to the morning court and took Di Renjie with him. He told him along the way, "You and Pei Xingjian have been walking around recently."
"Why?"
"Pei Xingjian and Su Dingfang are very close. It is said that His Majesty intends to let Su Dingfang go to Mobei."
"Mobei?" Di Renjie asked curiously, "Is it about Xue Yantuo?"
"Well, Yinan Khan is about to pass away. There are signs of civil strife in Xue Yantuo, and we are preparing to send troops to suppress it. Xue Yantuo has always had old grudges with the Turks. Although Ashinadur is said to be useful, he still needs a Tang general to suppress it."
Xu Jingzong stopped in front of Zhuque's door, "Maybe Xue Yantuo is going to die, probably in the past two years."
Di Renjie looked shocked, "Is this really true?"
"Since a stubborn disease cannot be cured, it can only be cured. This is the intention of His Majesty and Yuchi Gong."
In order to govern Xue Yantuo, the court paid a lot of costs. These barbarians refused to obey discipline, and they were not like the Turks.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As long as the Ashina clan of the Turks surrenders to the Khan, the Turks will be stable.
Moreover, Ashinadur and Ashnafunian also obeyed the orders of Tian Khan.
Before the sky was completely bright, blue appeared on the eastern horizon. Di Renjie followed the ministers into the Zhuque Gate and stopped in front of the Chengtian Gate.
Di Renjie felt that His Majesty wanted to take action against Xue Yantuo, not because Xue Yantuo refused to obey discipline, but because he wanted to eliminate foreign enemies and hidden dangers.
Tian Khan has been in power for sixteen years, and the old people in the court have left one by one.
This country will be handed over to the next emperor. Tian Khan has many things to worry about, whether it is domestic or foreign affairs. Now Tian Khan is eager to eliminate these hidden dangers.
The morning court had begun, and Di Renjie was walking in the imperial city doing nothing. Whenever he saw a person wearing official uniform, he would salute.
I walked to the entrance of the Ministry of Justice's Yamen and sat on the steps in front of the door, waiting.
Watching the sun gradually getting higher, Di Renjie leaned against the threshold and wanted to sleep some more.
I don't know how long it took, but Di Renjie felt that his feet had left the ground. He woke up from his drowsiness and was startled when he opened his eyes. In front of him was a big face with a big beard.
Liu Dewei also looked at this delicate and fat face and said with a smile: "You bastard."
Di Renjie broke away from his hand and said, "Liu Shangshu."
Although Liu Shangshu was a civil servant, he was actually a warrior with great strength. He just managed to break free and was picked up by him again.
"The boy has legs and can walk on his own."
Liu Dewei then let go, "I heard that your kid is very close to Zhang Jianzhi?"
"are friends."
"You are a talent that can be created. Don't get too close to mediocrity like this."
"That's what Liu Shangshu said."
Liu Dewei sat down and sorted out the documents in front of him.
"Why? Don't want to?"
"Ah?" Di Renjie replied in surprise as he was distracted.
"Pack up these documents and send them to Dali Temple. You can work for me with peace of mind. It's useless if you don't want to."
"Here."
Di Renjie quickly agreed to these things, his fat face full of pessimism about life and death, and he accepted his fate.
Picking out the documents to be sent to Dali Temple, Di Renjie carried them all the way to Dali Temple.
After the next dynasty, the imperial city became busy again. Officials were in a hurry, some in small groups.
When Di Renjie walked into Dali Temple, Sun Fujia smiled and said, "Why are you here?"
"Help Liu Shangshu submit the documents."
Sun Fujia asked again: "Do you want to come to my Dali Temple to work?"
Di Renjie replied: "I am currently helping Liu Shangshu."
Sun Fujia nodded and said: "That's fine. Before you take the imperial examination and become an official, you should spend two years in the Ministry of Punishment. It will be more convenient for you to come to Dali Temple to work after you become an official."
"Sun Shaoqing is so proud of you."
Di Renjie said this, but he was unwilling in every possible way. If it weren't for his family background and father, he was unwilling to become an official. Even if he became an official, he would stay away from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment.
The Ministry of Etiquette is good. I will go to the Ministry of Etiquette in the future. I have some concerns in my mind.
As soon as Liu Dewei came back, he knew that his free days were gone.
There really isn't a good person in this court.
Di Renjie was hurriedly holding the documents from Dali Temple that he wanted to reply to the Ministry of Punishment. As he walked, he heard wild laughter.
The source of this laughter was Liang Jianfang. He remembered that this general returned from the Western Expedition with a great victory. His Majesty made a county prince, and he was the most energetic.
Jin Wang Li Zhi was talking to him, but Di Renjie pretended not to notice and quickened his pace a lot.
"Renjie!"
When he heard King Jin calling him, Di Renjie stopped in compromise and said, "His Royal Highness King Jin, General Liang."
Liang Jianfang stroked his beard and said, "You are the Di Renjie who hangs out with the King of Jin."
"The boy is a good friend of His Highness Prince Jin, but he has never hung out with him."
"Haha." Liang Jianfang sneered: "I went to Pingkangfang and said we didn't hang out."
Di Renjie hurriedly saluted, "I have something to do in the Criminal Department, so I can't stay long, so I'll take my leave now."
After that, he left without looking back. When he heard Liang Jianfang and King Jin talking about Lishan, he paid attention for a moment.
In Jingzhao Mansion, Li Yifu helped Pei Xingjian do a lot of things.
Pei Xingjian was also free.
Li Zhi came with Liang Jianfang.
"General, His Royal Highness the King of Jin."
"Haha! We were separated in Persia, and now we are the governor of Jingzhao. He is young and has a bright future."
Pei Xingjian bowed and said: "The generals are all county princes, so don't make fun of your subordinates."
"Hmm? Where are Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance?"
"They all serve in the army, and my subordinates made an agreement with them to meet in Qujiang at noon."
"Okay! We generals on the Western Expedition should also have a good drink, but it's a pity that Zhang Shigui has to stay there."
Several people came to Qujiang, which was recently built, and saw Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance.
Liang Jianfang told them about the process of this western expedition and the arrangements for Tianzhu.
Xue Rengui listened very attentively, but Wang Xuance looked indifferent. He was unwilling to go to Persia or Tianzhu again. Not only was the journey long, but the environment was also very bad.
Xue Rengui asked: "So, if General Xi Junmai goes to Persia this time, he will go north to attack Gaul?"
Liang Jianfang nodded and said: "Zhang Shigui stayed in that poor place to build the Protectorate. He needs a general to go north to attack the Gauls. He also needs a Tang army and Tang army generals in Persia."
Expansion is very harmful to national strength and requires high costs.
In the Ganlu Hall, Li Chengqian came with a volume of letters, "Father, a letter from the uncle of the King of Han."
Li Shimin drank tea and said: "King of Han?"
"The King of Han was very sad when he learned that Grandpa Huang had passed away and wanted to return to Chang'an City to pay his respects."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Zhang Yang rejected the request of the King of Han, do you know?"
Li Chengqian frowned and whispered: "My son didn't know that the King of Han also submitted a memorial to the court, and thought it was just a letter."
Li Shimin put down his tea bowl, "Do you think the King of Han should be allowed to come back?"
"It all depends on my father's decision."
Li Shimin's eyes looked a little more disappointed and he remained silent without speaking.
The father and son in the hall were quiet for a long time, and they didn't know what decision His Majesty had made at this moment. Li Chengqian walked out of the Manna Hall with a solemn expression.
To the east of Chang'an City, within the territory of Tongguan to the east of Lishan Mountain.
At that time, His Majesty had a strict order not to return to Chang'an City without an order. When Li Yuanchang learned about Li Yuan's death, he entered the country privately.
Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, is now twenty-four years old and is hiding in Tongguan, hiding the news.
When he heard that it was Zhang Yang who rejected his memorial to go to Chang'an City to pay homage to his father, he was furious, "It's him again!"
A group of attendants lowered their heads, and one said: "We have sent someone to deliver a message to His Royal Highness."
Li Yuanchang said angrily: "If I hadn't sent someone to investigate, I wouldn't have thought that it was Zhang Yang who was behind this. Last time, I fell into the hands of this kid, and now it's him again."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will show me some kindness. As long as the Crown Prince speaks to His Majesty, I will definitely be able to return to Chang'an City to worship."
"The King of Han must not underestimate Zhang Yang."
The attendant added: "The rebellion of King Qi was put down by Zhang Yang's disciple, His Highness Prince Jin. When His Majesty granted Princess Runan the fiefdom, he had a conflict with King Qi's mother and concubine, and now it has fallen into the hands of Zhang Yang's disciples.
"
"This person has a heavy mind and far-reaching plans. He will be able to settle old scores a few years later. It's not easy to offend such a person."
"I'm afraid of him? He's just a little lucky prince-in-law!"
Seeing that Li Yuanchang still looked bored, the attendant asked again: "Furthermore, there are rumors in the court that Changsun Wuji and Lishan are also in contact now. It is not known how good the relationship is."
