Chapter 951: The county prince washes his hands in a wooden basin
Li Shimin had a smile on his face but no words.
Zhang Yang said distressedly: "I have formulated many governance policies for the prince, but now he is probably very worried."
Li Shimin added: "If the prince succeeds to the throne and becomes the emperor, what kind of emperor will he be?"
"How do I know?" Zhang Yang shook his head helplessly and whispered: "He may become an extremely strict emperor, and he will be even more strict on laws and ministers."
"Alas...I still don't trust him."
The Queen came over and said, "Everything is packed."
Li Shimin put down the tea bowl in his hand, stood up and walked outside the palace with his hands behind his back. The emperor now looked full of energy, as if he was not a patient.
Zhang Yang suddenly said: "Your Majesty, please abdicate."
"Haha." Li Shimin snorted coldly: "It's not up to you to tell me to abdicate."
"Hahaha." Zhang Yang laughed strangely: "Emperors are indeed bastards."
Li Shimin shouted angrily: "What you said is totally rebellious!"
"I have been rebellious for more than a day or two. If you abdicate, we, Lishan, will give you a pension."
"I don't need it. I am the emperor and I don't need you to pity me."
The emperor and Zhang Yang quarreled again, and the monarchs and ministers sitting in the chariot argued endlessly.
Li Yue and the queen both felt a headache.
The emperor's chariot left Chang'an City and headed for Lishan Mountain.
Lishan's knowledge has never been written into books, but articles are scattered in the market.
Li Shen, the king of Ji, compiled all these articles and made a pamphlet. He read these articles again and read the knowledge again. Suddenly he felt that the clues of various recent new measures regarding court discussions could be seen in these articles.
Li Shen felt that if the DPRK and China could implement these measures, Lishan's academics would shine brightly.
"Stand firmly on the green mountains and never let go; your roots are still in the broken rocks..."
A stone tablet was erected in front of Zongzheng Temple. Yuan Gongyu stood beside the stone tablet and whispered: "The county prince has left the court, who will be the next Minister of Zongzheng Temple?"
Li Yifu asked suspiciously: "Li Daozong, King of Jiangxia County?"
Yuan Gongyu said again: "No, yesterday the court made repeated orders that "one of our own people" would never be used. That is to say, the local state capital cannot use people from its own territory as officials, and the minister of Zongzheng Temple cannot use people from the clan. Li Daozong is not suitable."
Li Yifu sighed: "I thought that when the county prince came, our good days would come, but I didn't expect that he would leave so soon."
Yuan Gongyu asked again: "What should we do now?"
Li Yifu gritted his teeth, "Chu Suiliang wants to take over the Yushitai, and a certain family will fight with him to the end."
"Now both the court and the central government are competing for the Ministry of Justice and the Yushitai. We cannot lag behind others." Li Yifu was very entangled and whispered: "For some reason, Minister Xu is always indifferent."
"Don't worry, Minister Li." Yuan Gongyu sat in front of Zongzheng Temple and said: "Changsun Wuji is a relative, and the county princes have left. He will leave the court sooner or later. However, due to the current situation, His Highness the Crown Prince can only stay.
Once this old fox leaves, Chu Suiliang will definitely not be as powerful as he is now."
Li Yifu shook his head and said: "The county prince left, and some people started to impeach Lishan, saying that Lishan people use paper to go to the toilet. Paper is used for writing, how can it be used for going to the toilet? This is an insult to the sages."
Yuan Gongyu said: "I'm going to try it out as an official. It's very comfortable to use paper to go to the toilet."
Li Yifu quite agreed, "Let's try it at a certain family."
Today, Changsun Wuji submitted his resignation letter to Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian grabbed his hand and said, "Uncle, please stay and help the orphan."
Changsun Wuji said: "Zhang Gongjin made an agreement with me when he returned to Chang'an City. Zhang Yang still doesn't know about this agreement."
"What's the agreement?"
"Zhang Gongjin will not help Zhang Yang deal with me until he dies, so he has not participated in the fight between me and Zhang Yang for so many years. After so many years, others have left. Now it is time for me to fulfill my promise."
"I promised Zhang Gongjin that if Zhang Yang leaves the court one day, I should also step down and not hold power."
Li Chengqian looked at him blankly, "Seriously?"
"Although I don't know if Zhang Gongjin expected this day for Zhang Yang, but now that Zhang Yang has really left the court, then I should also retire. This is an agreement and a bet. He was right about the Xuanwu Sect back then.
Already."
"He made the right bet again in the battle at Yinshan. Now that he has passed away, he still made the right bet. It's time for me to fulfill my promise."
Li Chengqian let go of his hand and swallowed, "Where do you want to go, uncle?"
Changsun Wuji said: "I want to accompany my uncle for the rest of his life."
Gao Shilian is sixty-eight years old, a rare old man.
Li Chengqian sat down again, took out a memorial and put it on the table, "This is a memorial for the Prime Minister. His health is getting worse day by day. My uncle is leaving, and so is the Prime Minister."
Changsun Wuji felt very tired, and it was very tiring for Fang Xuanling and others who were old members of the Qin Palace.
It has been eighteen years since the Zhenguan Dynasty, and many people have been following His Majesty for nearly thirty years.
There are several more thirty years in life, and most of the life has been devoted, and everyone has reached their twilight years by chance.
"That's all, Gudu agreed."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
With Zhang Yang gone, whether it was Xu Jingzong, Di Zhisun, or Shangguan Yi, they always felt empty in their hearts.
In the summer of the 18th year of Zhenguan, this was the last few days of summer. Under the auspices of Li Chengqian, the power in the court was once again shuffled.
The prince began to strengthen the manpower of the three supervisory departments in the court, among which Ma Zhou and Xu Xiaode served as admonishment officials.
Liu Dewei continued to serve as Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and could also exercise supervisory powers, and presided over the government offices for mass supervision, and opened supervisory offices in various state capitals.
Everyone in the court felt that it was very close to Li Chengqian's accession to the throne. His Majesty went to Lishan to recuperate, and all the power was handed over to the prince.
Li Chengqian took the power of supervision into his own hands and implemented a more stringent system. He was a prince who had no mercy.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He looked at Jiangshan Sheji, and wanted to carry out a further centralized rule than under the rule of Tian Khan.
At this moment in Lishan, Li Shimin's recuperation life began, focusing on treating illnesses.
Having a grandfather living in the village made Zhang Qingqing a little uncomfortable.
When her father and the emperor played chess, she watched from the sidelines.
Li Shimin frowned and said: "Now there are many vacancies in the DPRK. What do you think should be done?"
Zhang Yang ate one of the emperor's rooks, and while playing with the chess pieces he had just eaten, he said melancholy: "I have already retired, so it is not easy to discuss these things... It was allowed by the prince and approved by the court."
Zhang Xin'an came with a wooden basin and placed it on the table.
Standing around were Li Tai, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, Li Jing and Sun Simiao.
Li Shimin was undecided. After thinking for a long time, he finally pushed his pawn forward.
Zhang Yang moved the cannon behind the elephant and said loudly: "General."
"Huh?" Li Shimin was just about to move his checkmate, but unexpectedly his horse was next to him. It was checked.
"Your Majesty, you lost again."
"I'm not in a hurry, I'll be able to win you one day."
Zhang Yang put away the chessboard and said: "My teacher said so too."
Li Shimin added: "It's a pity that Zhang Gongjin died so young... Later, did he beat you in the chess game?"
"No, never won."
Li Shimin slapped his thigh and lamented: "What a pity."
Zhang Yang washed his hands in a wooden basin, then took the cloth from his son and wiped them, "From now on, I have completely left the court."
Li Shimin stroked his beard and smiled, there was really no reason for the royal family to restrain him anymore.
"daughter in law."
Li Yue heard the sound from outside the house and came over, "Everything is ready."
Zhang Yang grinned and said: "Serve the food, my retirement banquet can begin."
Li Xiaogong said loudly: "Okay."
In the autumn of the 18th year of Zhenguan, a very powerful woman appeared in Tubo. This woman was the first female general of Tubo. She led her troops deep into the hinterland of Tianzhu and returned with a great victory, and personally brought the battle report to meet the prince of the country.
After inquiring, I found out that this woman was the woman who was taken back to Chang'an City by Su Dingfang, and she had a daughter with Su Dingfang.
This happened many years ago. Ever since Songtsen Gampo gave up the position of Zangpu of Tubo, Tubo only had the prime minister and no Zampu anymore.
Her daughter has been raised by Su Dingfang and has lived in Chang'an City for a long time.
This Tubo woman often comes to Chang'an City.
Today Su Dingfang brought their family to Lishan.
Zhang Yang also took his wife and children fishing on the Weishui River.
Su Dingfang explained: "Her name is Zhuoma."
This woman was very tall. Zhang Qingqing asked playfully: "Are you the Tibetan female general galloping on the battlefield?"
Zhuoma nodded and said: "Exactly."
Her Guanzhong dialect is pretty good, but her accent is rather heavy.
Zhang Qingqing was talking to her, hoping to learn about the war between Tubo and Tianzhu. Wang Xuance was presiding over this war, with the intention of unifying the tribes of Tianzhu and becoming the granary of the Tang Dynasty in the west.
From her story, Zhang Qingqing pointed out many inappropriate points and some problems in the art of war.
Su Dingfang whispered: "She wants to become the female prime minister of Tubo."
Zhang Yang held up the fishing rod and asked: "Isn't the current Prime Minister of Tibet still Lu Dongzan?"
"Lu Dongzan is old and ready to retire."
"Does she have any competition?"
"Yes, he is Lu Dongzan's son, Gar." Su Dingfang added: "This time she came to Chang'an City with her military exploits in the hope that Tian Khan can grant her the position of Tibetan Prime Minister."
Zhang Qingqing was surprised and said: "You want to be the Prime Minister of Tubo."
Zhuoma nodded and said, "Yes."
"Daddy, help her quickly."
"I've washed my hands of your father and stopped caring about government affairs."
Zhang Qingqing was a little stubborn, and she added: "She is Su Dingfang's wife, then..."
Su Dingfang interrupted and added: "It's the concubine's room."
Zhang Qingqing put his hands on his hips and said unconvinced: "So what if it's a concubine? Gar is a young general with a strong army and horses. Sooner or later, such a person will be a hidden danger in the Central Plains. He cannot become the Prime Minister of Tubo."
As Xiao Qingqing said, Gar cannot become the prime minister of Tubo, and strong troops and horses are a threat.
Zhang Yang said to her: "Your troops are not as good as the Gar, but in the future, the strategy of the DPRK will be based on the mass base. If you can win over more people in Tibet and gain the support of many herdsmen in Tibet, you can win a battle."
Fight for the position of Prime Minister."
Zhuoma said: "I am the wife of a Tang man, and many Tibetan herdsmen will not obey me."
Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Your identity is not important. What is important is what the Tubo people need now. If you can give them what they need, they will help you. Su Dingfang is your husband, which is also your advantage. You can become the leader of the Tang Dynasty."
The bridge of communication with Tubo. Now there are too many Tubo people who want to come to Datang and maintain long-term contacts with Datang."
"You have an opportunity in front of you. We, Lishan, can give you more share of salt and iron exports. At the same time, Lishan also wants something from you."
"Please speak, Marquis of the County."
"In the future, the Tang Dynasty will establish a class of ideological thinking. You need to bring this class of thinking to Tubo so that more Tubo people can take classes."
"Can."
Zhang Yang smiled and nodded, "Okay, you go back, I will arrange the rest."
Zhuoma saluted with Tubo etiquette and preached in Guanzhong dialect, "Thank you so much, Marquis of the County."
Li Yue put the fish he caught into the bamboo basket, and the family returned to the mountain.
At the foot of Lishan Mountain, Li Shimin and the queen lived in this small palace. The emperor had more white hair.
A figure flashed past the door.
"Come in."
When the little figure heard this and walked into the house, she said with a smile: "Grandpa."
Li Shimin adjusted his glasses and said with a smile: "Qingqing, you still don't want to see me."
Zhang Qingqing put the basket on the table, "This is the celery that dad asked me to bring. Grandpa wants to eat more of it."
After letting people boil it with water, Li Shimin picked up a celery stick and ate it like a snack. Seeing that Qingqing was still here, he asked: "Are you worried?"
Zhang Qingqing said: "It's not that I have something on my mind, it's that my father has something on his mind."
"Haha, he washed his hands in a wooden basin and stopped working. He also joined Lingyan Pavilion. What else could he have on his mind?"
Zhang Qingqing said: "My granddaughter wants to blow up Chang'an City."
Li Shimin shook his head, "No."
"Dad wants grandpa to abdicate."
Li Shimin still shook his head.
"Humph!" Zhang Qingqing turned around and walked out of the palace.
The queen just came back and asked, "Qingqing, don't you stay for dinner?"
Zhang Qingqing said: "Grandpa refuses to abdicate."
In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, the autumn rain fell in Guanzhong, and it was soon the Mid-Autumn Festival. A letter was sent from Jin King Li Zhi. He went to Jiangnan East Road and could not return to Chang'an City this year, so he wrote a letter to his father to express his feelings.
Concern for my father.
Sun Simiao and a group of doctors would come to see His Majesty every other month for follow-up consultations.
Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi's letter and allowed a group of doctors to diagnose his pulse.
Sun Simiao said: "Your Majesty's condition is considered stable. You can drink a little in the future, but you can't have a hangover."
"I have even forgotten what wine tastes like."
"There is a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the village today. Your Majesty can join us for the banquet. It has been half a month since I stopped taking the medicine, and now I can resume my normal diet."
"I understand."
"Here."
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. There are many guests in Lishan. It is rare for Xu Xiaode and Xu Jingzong to come to Lishan.
At dusk, there was a lively banquet in the village. Li Tai came out of the workshop cursing, "What kind of generator is this? The voltage is impossible to be stable. I will quit working! I will retire too!"
