The affairs of the court are left to the ministers.
With such a huge salary, you can't just shout long live all day long.
Under Li Yunze's hands, even if he wanted to fish, he would not be able to do it.
Specific tasks are directly assigned to specific people, and goals and time limits are given. If they fail to do so, they will be punished.
Work vigorously and resolutely, if it works, do it, and if it doesn't, get out.
The imperial examinations were held continuously, and there were many people waiting to take the vacant positions.
While national affairs were advancing, Li Yunze was not idle in the Daming Palace.
In this world, what Li Yunze is really happy about is that he has avoided Yang Yuhuan's tragedy.
In history, although Yang Yuhuan became a concubine with an unfair reputation, she was not overly excited because she was stripped of her ashes by Li Longji, who was older than her father.
More often than not, it is just helplessness in the face of power.
How could it be like this now? Lang Jun was tall, mighty, heroic, and possessed of great weapons, and his life was extremely comfortable.
"His Majesty."
Yang Yuhuan, whose fair forehead was covered with fragrant sweat, held Li Yunze's arm and said with a smile, "I have several sisters coming to Chang'an City."
"Um?"
Li Yunze, who looked like a sage, raised his eyebrows and responded, "Since they are here, then you just come out to arrange food, clothing, housing and transportation for them. They are all relatives and need to be taken good care of."
Yang Yuhuan, who was still in the lingering mood, felt that something was wrong.
Her original intention was to ask Li Yunze to take good care of her sisters and brothers-in-law. What they needed was real care, such as a title or official title, rather than simple food, drink, housing and transportation.
But in a daze, the grapes were ripe, and he soon fell asleep and forgot about this matter.
Looking sideways at the sleeping Yang Yuhuan, Li Yunze let go of the grape.
As the saying goes, if a person achieves enlightenment, a chicken or a dog can ascend to heaven. After Yang Yuhuan came to power, her family naturally wanted to follow her.
This is the tradition of the maternal relatives, this is the tradition of the maternal relatives, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many people vying to be the maternal relatives.
Naturally, there are some outstanding relatives, such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, whom Wei Zifu brought to Liu Che.
But most of the relatives are, to be honest, in deep trouble.
In history, several of Yang Yuhuan's sisters committed many crimes, and even accelerated the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion.
Unless Li Yunze was poisoned by eating grapes, which caused a brain disease and turned him into a fool, nothing he could say would give Yang Yuhuan's relatives the opportunity to dig holes.
Just give me some money and take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and that'll be fine.
What kind of bike do you want?
For Li Yunze, having a child is more important now.
Now that you have come to this world, it is important to leave your own traces.
There is no better inheritance and imprint than children.
Thinking of this, Li Yunze sighed, turned over and started picking grapes, and continued to be a professional plumber in order to leave his mark.
Li Yunze's life is very regular.
Handle official duties during the day, summon ministers to arrange work or inquire about work progress.
At night, I stayed with Yang Yuhuan on both sides. You advanced and I retreated, and you swayed while I worked hard to live.
There are no longer all-night banquets in the Daming Palace, no more wonderful performances by the children of the Liyuan Garden, and even the population in the palace has been greatly reduced to a minimum.
Along with this reduction, there are also shocking and terrifying expenses.
The improvement of the Tang Dynasty's financial expenditure, the division of land among the people, the gradual and fair judicial power, etc., also gradually reduced public resentment.
Next, Li Yunze only needs to go to Hebei to regain the military morale of the northern feudal town, and then he can start to dismantle the feudal town.
But before that, he still has to work hard to cultivate and irrigate and plant the seeds of hope.
I kept working hard like this for more than half a year, and finally the seeds took root and sprouted.
When Li Yunze said that he wanted to go on a personal expedition again, the courtiers did not object as hard as they did last time.
The reason is simple: Yang Yuhuan is happy.
As long as the emperor can have descendants, the ministers will feel inexplicably at ease.
Li Yunze's reputation when he went out was to lead a military expedition, not to travel for fun.
After all, Yang Guang's travels in the former Sui Dynasty directly destroyed the entire Sui Dynasty, which can be said to be a real lesson learned from the past.
Since it was the imperial commander's personal expedition, of course he was going to fight.
The target this time is the Khitan, Xi and other tribes on the northern grasslands.
This has been the case on the grassland for many years. This family is destroyed and that family is destroyed, and the cycle continues over and over again.
However, their actions after their rise were astonishing: they went south to attack the Central Plains Dynasty.
Because the grasslands are barren and the climate conditions are cold and freezing, the warm and wealthy south has always been the dream place of all tribes.
The Khitan and the Xi people would later establish the Liao Kingdom, receive a godson named Shi Jingtang, and receive the Sixteenth State of Yanyun as a gift. From then on, the Sixteenth State of Yanyun left the Central Plains for five hundred years!
This kind of hidden danger must naturally be eliminated in advance.
As for how to completely eliminate the threat from the grassland, just adopt the strategy of reducing the number of people.
Don't think it's cruel to reduce the number of people. If you don't wipe them out directly, then you already have the heart of the Great Merciful and Compassionate Bodhisattva.
When the nomadic tribes went south, who was more merciful?
Following this time was the Yulin Army, one of the three armies of the Forbidden Army.
Tens of thousands of troops marched across the state and across counties, refusing to enter any city they encountered. They treated it directly as a training ground for a long-distance march.
Li Yunze's complete military style had a very good response among the Tang army.
The emperor is a warrior, so of course the warriors will be happy.
Li Yunze's marching route was very interesting. He basically visited all the military formations in Hebei.
Everywhere they went, soldiers and horses were selected at the school grounds, and the best among them were selected to accompany the army in the name of Zengtao Grassland.
At this time, the feudal town had not yet developed the situation that it was like in the late Tianbao period.
Li Yunze came again with great power to annihilate Tubo. Although the vassals were very dissatisfied, they did not dare to express it directly.
Of course, there will be no shortage of little secret moves.
Like inciting the soldiers to mutiny or something.
Li Yunze would not accept these little thoughts for any reason.
Whoever causes trouble will be killed!
Along the way, two Jiedushi were killed and one was exiled to Hainan Island for fishing.
The emperor raised the sword in his hand without any hesitation, and the feudal lords trembled, no one dared to attack him again.
The issue of vassal towns in Hebei must be resolved. Otherwise, Li Yunze's belief becomes extremely firm when he thinks of the tragedy caused by the Anshi Rebellion, which resulted in almost ten houses and nine empty houses in the north.
The final destination of this trip is Youzhou Town.
Youzhou was the territory of the Yan State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and then became the territory of the Han State after the Qin and Han Dynasties.
Until the Khitan people were defeated by Shi Jingtang
Li Yunze came here this time with the determination to completely defeat the Khitan and other tribes.
Zhang Shougui, the governor of Youzhou Town, led the generals of Youzhou Town to go out thirty miles from the city to welcome the emperor's arrival.
Ever since Li Er conquered Liaodong, no Chinese emperor has set foot here for a hundred years.
According to the original history, Zhu Di, the emperor of China, would not arrive in Youzhou again until hundreds of years later.
Uh, Song Huizong and his son were captured and passed by, so they don't count.
The God of Cars in the Gaolianghe River was very close, but still hadn't arrived.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Shougui."
In the Tang Dynasty where generals gathered, Zhang Shougui, who could be regarded as a famous general, led the generals of Youzhou Town to salute Li Yunze and "meet your majesty~~~"
"Um."
Li Yunze on horseback nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, please get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty~~~"
After the fixed routine was completed, the generals from Youzhou Town led the way into Youzhou City.
Youzhou is essentially a military city with tall and solid walls and complete defense facilities.
If Shi Jingtang hadn't taken the initiative to send him off, it would have been difficult for the Khitans to defeat him.
Arriving at the Jiedu Envoy's residence, Li Yunze sat at the top, and the accompanying generals and Youzhou town generals lined up on both sides.
"Zhang Qing's family."
With a smile on his face, Li Yunze looked at Zhang Shougui and said, "How about you introduce me to the powerful generals of Youzhou Town?"
"only."
Zhang Shougui bowed respectfully, and then introduced the generals behind him to Li Yunze one by one, "This is the Commander of the Army and Horses of Youzhou, and this is An Lushan, the Commander of the Pinglu Army and Horses. He is smart, intelligent, brave and good at fighting."
Looking at the fat man not far away with a respectful look on his face, Li Yunze raised his eyelids.
A man who was born as a slave of the Hu people was able to stir up troubles in the world and almost ruined the Tang Dynasty.
What is a heroic figure? This is it.
"This is Siming, who knew Pinglu's military history. He was brave and courageous. He once tricked King Xi with his tricks."
Looking at Shi Siming, who had an unattractive appearance but bright eyes, Li Yunze nodded.
This is also a hero, but he is overshadowed by the light of An Lushan.
You must know that the Anshi Rebellion lasted for eight years. An Lushan was killed in the second year, and Shi Siming was basically responsible for the next six years.
Guo Ziyi, who represented the entire Tang Dynasty for six years, was certainly a heroic figure.
When Zhang Shougui finished introducing the generals one by one, Li Yunze said with a smile, "All the ministers are the pillars of the Tang Dynasty. I will not accept my ministers in this expedition to the grassland. I hope that all the ministers will work hard."
Zhang Shougui took the lead, and all the Youzhou town army generals saluted and shouted, "I am willing to die for your majesty~~~"
Li Yunze will not punish someone without teaching him.
In so many worlds, he has encountered too many traitors and traitors in history books.
Even if Qin Hui is in person, he will not kill him directly, but will give him a way out and make arrangements before killing him.
An Lushan and Shi Siming are naturally no exception.
In fact, in Li Yunze's view, these two people are not as important as imagined.
If they hadn't reached that position, if the people of the Tang Dynasty hadn't already been simmering in flames, if the hostility between Hebei and Guanzhong hadn't been unresolved, they would have been nothing more than ordinary Hu generals at best.
Li Yunze will not give them a chance to rise to the top.
There won't be any.
When the grasslands are cleared, he will start to dismantle the vassals, and then arrange for the two of them to serve on the front lines of the four towns of Anxi.
When the Battle of Henglus is fought, they will be arranged to die heroically for the Tang Dynasty depending on the situation.
As a loser, if he couldn't even arrange this, he should have died in the first world.
"Give wine and a banquet."
Li Yunze stood up and looked around at the many generals in the hall, "I will not return home without getting drunk today!"
