Chapter 44: One Emperor and One Courtier

Royal Palace.

"A wise man loses his tongue, the sun. What does it mean to lose? The arrow, the sun, is the yang. He understands the origin of yin and yang of all things, and knows the changes of yin and yang in all things. The speech is like an arrow, knowing the sky, the earth, and all things. The cloud is from the rain.

Clouds.

I was so happy that you were born that year, so I gave you this name. Queen Taimu said that this is a great name, so I was afraid that you would have difficulty bearing it. Therefore, I also named you Zhiquan, hoping that you can understand the truth from an early age.

Later, you gradually grew up, and you lived up to my expectations."

"Then why did you let the child be named after Zhiyun later?" Li Zhiyun asked with a smile.

Lao Li could only lie on the couch, and Li Zhiyun was free to chat with him.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Because I still think Zhiyun is good, so I gave you a nickname to pray for your health. I hope you will be healthy and live a long life."

"So that's it."

Li Yuan rarely interfered with government affairs. Every time Li Zhiyun accompanied him to talk, Lao Li was reminiscing about the past.

Today, Lao Li talked about the original intention of naming him.

Li Zhiyun didn't feel much about this. A name can't mean anything. Maybe Li Zhiyun in history really died young because he couldn't afford this name?

It doesn't matter anymore.

Considering the major he studied in his previous life, this name is indeed worthy of him.

He knows everything about heaven, earth, and everything. He does know a thing or two.

After a while, Li Yuan fell asleep again.

For Li Yuan now, living is actually a kind of torture. Drowsiness is secondary, mainly because the wind attacks are becoming more and more frequent, and sometimes the pain can wake him up from his dreams.

Walking out of the palace, Li Zhiyun looked at the majestic imperial city.

The luan angle rises and turns, and the road and eaves are restored.

The imperial palace in the early Tang Dynasty was more solemn and awe-inspiring than the Forbidden City in later generations, but less majestic and prosperous.

Soon after, Li Zhiyun came to Zhengshitang.

"Your Highness, Hongzhou is at peace." Yang Gongren delivered the good news.

Li Zhiyun took it and looked through it.

After calming down Zhang Shanan, what was expected was that Li Zhiyun seemed very calm.

According to the victory report, Zhang Zhenzhou, the general manager of Shuzhou, defeated Zhang Shanan in Pengze, and Li Daliang entered the camp alone to capture Zhang's thief. These two things aroused some interest in Li Zhiyun.

Seeing what Li Daliang did, Li Zhiyun lamented that the inertia of history still exists.

"Zhang Shan'an and his family will be put to death. The officers and soldiers who have contributed to the suppression of the rebellion will be handed over to the Ministry of War to discuss their merits and reward them as appropriate. In addition, Li Daliang and Zhang Zhenzhou will be summoned back to the capital. I want to see them."

"Yes." Yang Gongren handed over his hand.

After handling matters in the Political Hall, Li Zhiyun got up and went to Fengyi Hall to have a meal with Queen Wan.

Today, there is still one person here, and that is uncle Wan Xuandao.

Not long ago, as his mother was named queen, Li Zhiyun also asked Wan Xuandao to inherit the dukedom of Jiangdu County.

The title of Duke of Jiangdu was a title posthumously gifted by Li Yuan to Li Zhiyun's grandfather Wan Wugang, and now Wan Xuandao can inherit it.

During the dinner, Queen Wan said: "Zhiyun, my mother wants your uncle to have some experience at a certain place. What do you think?"

Wan Xuandao is younger than Li Zhiyun, he is seventeen years old this year.

In front of Li Zhiyun, Wan Xuandao was not like an uncle, but like a cousin. He blushed and said: "Your Highness, I don't dislike my current position, but I also want to go out and experience it. Many people have been looking for me recently. I

Don’t know what to do.”

With Li Zhiyun assuming power, he, who used to be a transparent Jiangdu County Duke in Chang'an, has now become very popular. There is an endless stream of people seeking marriage. Needless to say, many people want to make friends with him in order to catch up with the King of Chu.

Wan Xuandao was raised in the Duke's Mansion of the Tang Dynasty since he was a child. He was shy by nature and was not good at meeting people. Now, he was at a loss as to what he was going through.

He was worried that he would cause trouble to his sister and nephew, so he wanted to leave Chang'an and seek peace.

Li Zhiyun asked: "Where does your mother think it would be better for your uncle to go to experience?"

"I'm just a woman in the palace, so I don't know that you have to make the decision on local affairs. Your uncle has been quiet since he was young, so you just make arrangements."

"How about the Luoyang order?"

Mr. Wan shook his head, "It's inappropriate. How can one be allowed to take over the duties of the fifth rank? Moreover, the preacher is only seventeen years old. This is inconsistent with the system and may lead to criticism from the government and the public."

In the early Tang Dynasty, in Jingzhao, Henan, Taiyuan and other places, the county magistrates were in the sixth rank. In Chang'an, Wannian, Henan, Luoyang, Jinyang and other places, the county magistrates were in the fifth rank.

Different counties have different levels of local magistrates.

Wan Xuandao also refused and said: "Your Highness, please don't do this. I don't know anything. If you ask me to serve as the Luoyang Order, it will make a joke."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun smiled with satisfaction and said, "Well, how about you join the army first, be a bookkeeper, and learn and experience at the same time?"

Hearing this, Wan Xuandao nodded, "Very good."

"Where do you plan for Xuan Dao to join the army?" Queen Wan asked.

Li Zhiyun smiled and said: "Hebei Province's arresting ambassador, under the command of Duan Zhixuan, how does the queen feel?"

"Yes." Wan Shi nodded with satisfaction.

Duan Zhixuan is her son's most capable general, so it is only appropriate for her brother to go there.

Wan Xuandao stood up and saluted, "I am a humble minister, thank you so much, Your Highness."

"Uncle, you don't have to be like this, we are all one family." Li Zhiyun waved his hand.

His mother has such a younger brother, so Li Zhiyun has to take care of him no matter what. By letting Wan Xuandao go to Duan Zhixuan's command, he is giving him a chance. As for whether he can seize the opportunity to become a talent in the future, that is Wan Xuandao's own business.

After having a meal at the palace, Li Zhiyun went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry without stopping.

The current minister of the Ministry of Industry is still the warrior Xun, but he has learned well, not only because he failed to become a prime minister, but also because Li Yuan was critically ill and a large number of old ministers of saints were purged.

Under such circumstances, Samurai Yun was almost walking on thin ice in the Ministry of Industry.

Nowadays, all major affairs of the Ministry of Industry are decided by two ministers, namely Yang Shigui and Yuwen Rutong, who inspects the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Yang Shigui is old and can't work for a few more years. He also understands who his grandson-in-law really wants to train, so he gets along very well with Yuwen Rutong, and he knows almost all the questions raised by Yuwen Rutong.

In Yang Shigui's view, there is really no need for him to get entangled with a junior. His granddaughter is now the Princess of Chu, will be the Crown Princess in the future, and will become the Queen after the King of Chu ascends the throne.

By then, even if he becomes an official, no one in Chang'an would dare to offend him.

Sometimes, he himself did not expect that when the sage randomly assigned the King of Chu to marry his granddaughter, it would bring such a huge opportunity to the Yang family.

God has mercy on Mrs. Yang!

Work department workshop.

"Your Highness, this is a farm tool made according to the drawings you gave me. Do you think it's this?"

Yuwen Rutong pointed at the newly made farm tools and said.

Li Zhiyun looked at it for a moment, compared it with Qu Yuanli in his memory, and shook his head.

"wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Look, the shaft wood is still too long and needs to be shorter. In addition, the trunk needs to be curved, and yours is still too straight, so it won't work."

"Yes, I will revise it now."

After saying that, Yuwen Rutong took people down to revise.

He has followed King Chu for so many years, so he won't talk nonsense.

If the King of Chu says no, it means no.

Facts have proved that as long as the drawings given by the King of Chu are not built according to the instructions of the King of Chu, the products produced will definitely be scraps.

Yang Shigui looked at the busy Yuwen scholar and praised with a smile: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is well-mannered."

"Yuezu is joking."

Yang Shigui laughed and asked: "Your Highness, can this curved shaft plow really be made to facilitate farming?"

"Yes." Li Zhiyun said concisely and to the point.

Historically, the Quyuan plow appeared in the Jiangdong area at the end of the Tang Dynasty, marking the complete maturity of agricultural tools for intensive farming.

The curved shaft plow is easy to turn around, flexible in operation, and can save manpower and animal power.

It is the plow used in the technological society, and it is also the experience learned from the Quyuan plow. In the future, when conditions are mature, Li Zhiyun will modify the Quyuan plow again, install the plow plate into an iron plow, and add a few movable rolling balls below.
