Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Five hundred and seventeen Mu drum


When Ma Zai heard Li Hong’s questioning, his face was taken aback, and then even after he understood, the Protector House in the Clouds is still led by King Pei Yao. The prince has just taken all of King Pei’s wings during this time. Cut it off, and if you take away the Protector of the Clouds from the remote leader, it will obviously aggravate the contradiction between the Royal Prince and King Pei.

Ouyang Tong also felt stunned when he heard this. Although Ma Zai’s suggestion sounds very moving, especially when it was put forward by a minister of the Ministry of Engineering, it was obviously more appropriate, but if the prince in the cloud took the problem away If it cannot be solved, the construction of the three roads is equivalent to treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.

Ma Zai smiled helplessly, and continued: "The minister has been in Tubo for these years, and occasionally goes to Anxi. At least three or four times a year, although the two places are blocked by mountains, but... …Now close contacts, this is a rare opportunity. Tuyuhun, Dashi and other countries have been eyeing Anxi today. Although Anxi is now unbreakable, the so-called strong Hengqiang wants to maintain our current advantage in Anxi. Obviously, this road must be repaired! Moreover, the minister knows that the widening and strengthening of the road in the cloud and even Changan Tonganxi will bring us great benefits in all aspects. But as for your question just now... the minister thought, That is a matter between you as Shang Shuling and His Royal Highness, and has nothing to do with the minister."

"Okay, Ma Zai, you are right. No matter whether it is in the cloud or building a road, it is not an urgent matter, especially the matter in the cloud. Whether it is resolved or not, it will not affect your road construction, right? First, as for the cloud, let Yuan Shuji and others come in contact with Xue Tai and Li Jun. The Datang Black Water Army placed in the cloud has not been moved for many years. Li Jingxuan is also idle when he is idle. I will communicate with the officials and the Ministry of War to see if I can Let's change it first." Li Hong thought for a while and said with a plan.

"Yes, Your Highness. The minister has one more thing..."

"The two should be arranged according to your wishes. If the queen asks, let's talk about it. Before that, I think it's best to put it somewhere to hone the best." Li Hong said lightly.

The fate of Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi in the next two years was completely ruined by Li Hong's desire to continue to be idle officials in the Ministry of Industry. Will have to face the baptism of sand and dust, heavy storms and high altitude weather.

Ma Zai nodded and signaled that he understood Li Hong’s meaning. Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi were in the Ministry of Engineering, and now they are holding Fang Xianzhong and Wang Pei’s thighs. No one dares to mess with them. As a newly promoted minister of the Ministry of Industry, if you want to do something, the support of His Royal Highness is part of it, and his vigorous and vigorous style is the key to success.

Ouyang Tong took the 30-cents in his hand and thought about the one million taels of silver in the 30 million taels of silver in the court today, and suddenly understood the importance of this note!

Obviously, Jinghui, his last tenure, didn't tell him such an important thing, but now that the prince tells himself, he already understands what it means.

"His Royal Highness, the minister understands, this question is easy to solve. With the things that Chen has learned in Chongwenguan in the past few years, he can smooth these out, and all the accounts can be restored to the original state." Ouyang Tong He glanced at Ma Zai and said solemnly.

"That's fine, just understand." Li Hong touched the stubborn lips, thought for a while and said, "What do you think about taking over Royal Bank?"

Ouyang Tong was stunned. He didn’t expect that the Household Department still had such a task, and he knew very well in his heart that while Jinghui was in charge of the Household Department these years, he was not too worried about the royal bank, but now he Before he really takes office, His Royal Highness intends to give this to himself?

No matter how savvy and capable ministers are, facing Li Hong's straightforwardness, they dare not answer without thinking. Ouyang Tong also didn't dare, and also chose a cautious rhetoric.

Li Hong did not embarrass him, but gave him enough time to consider and understand everything about the Royal Bank. At this moment, his thoughts are once again placed on Li Zhe, who is still suffering from the painful suffering in the Buddhist temple.

Li Hong, who was at the court meeting on the second day, naturally couldn't go anymore, but when people were still in court, he ran into Shang Shusheng, waiting for the courtiers to go down.

Pei Xingjian and Shangguanyi first came to Li Hong’s study. After talking with Li Hong for a while, they walked out with a relaxed expression. But today, I don’t know what’s wrong with your Majesty. The imperial decree appointed Shangguanyi as the decree of Zhongshu Provincial Zhongshu, and the word agency was missing in the imperial decree.

Jing Hui and Lin Shiling hurriedly walked in after Pei Xingjian left with Guan Yi. They did not dare to forget the subject that the crown prince gave them. Regarding the future governance of Tubo and the establishment of the Tubo Protectorate, all this is Above the court is completely a formality, without the consent of other courtiers at all, as long as your majesty nods, Shang Shusheng is enough.

The Ministry of Science and Technology does not need to draft, and the Ministry of Education does not need to approve. His Majesty does not need imperial approval, just nodding.

Unless it’s the Tubo’s protection of the government, it can be taken on top of the court. It is formulated by the Ministry of Education, approved by the Ministry of Education, and then approved by your Majesty in the announcement world.

This will not only ensure that the royal prestige is not damaged, but also demonstrate the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, so these things will not be discussed as real national events before they really start.

Li Hong had to look at Lin Shiling with admiration. This guy is indeed a talent, a rare fierce and loyal minister. Compared with Jinghui's upright and upright behavior, it is like the two sides of the moon.

Similarly, because the two have completely different styles and behaviors, they have become the most complementary pair of partners, even compared to Pei Xingjian and Ma Zai, who have the name "Pei Ma". of.

All the details are well done. Only in dealing with Wencheng, Lin Shiling's fierceness is demonstrated. Although it is more effective than Jinghui's method, it is too damaging.

Li Hong had to shook his head and sighed: "As for Princess Wencheng, Lin Shiling, you still need to deal with it as appropriate. The Tubo people are not like our Datang people. They are a group that easily collapses their faith. They have a firm heart for faith. , Clean, not tolerant of profanity, I have tolerated Princess Wencheng for the past two years, do you think I am willing? No matter what, Princess Wencheng can’t have an accident! Princess Yiyang and the horse will also go to Tubo together, they can only replace and stand up without overthrowing! This is impossible."

Lin Shiling was stunned. He still disagrees with the prince’s cautious remarks. In Datang, he hadn’t met the monks, Taoism and Confucianism, nor had he ever dealt with them. The beliefs of these people were entirely based on Ignorance and fear of the future.

Their devout prayers and respectful worship of the Buddha are completely based on the lack of reality and material, which is absolutely different from the state of thought and spiritual washing!

A person’s faith collapses, and the faith of a group collapses. In Lin Shiling’s view, it is completely a product of destroying his beliefs and setting up another spirit. When their faith collapses, the people will only seek helpless repentance. With reflection, how could it be possible, as the prince said, that they would cause riots, become furious because of the blasphemy of their beliefs, and attack them in groups in order to maintain their beliefs?

This is impossible. The prosperity and decline of every dynasty before the Tang Dynasty, from the various schools of thought to today’s battle between Buddhism and Taoism, each faith originally had many supporters, but they can be entitled The ban is going to die out, and there is no group of people who are angry and rescued because of the collapse of their faith.

Therefore, he does not believe that the collapse of a Princess Wencheng can cause riots and salvation among the Tubo people, and he does not believe that Princess Wencheng can affect the minds of the Tubo people like a god, and influence the right and wrong of the Tubo people. .

Li Hong has no way to explain what true faith is. If he knew that more than a thousand years later, more people would go to Tubo and regard these as a baptism of life and a baptism of life. For the washing of the soul, their pious worship, and the faith that they guard with the most respect, there is the figure of Princess Wencheng~ IndoMTL.com~ He would not be so dismissive!

Shaking his head helplessly, Li Hong smiled lazily and said: "Don't make any conclusions earlier. Only stupid people can make random conclusions based on their past experience when they have not been exposed to the facts. I I don’t want you to be such an idiot, so I’ve never done this one! As for after Yuanri, after you set off to Tubo, you can watch and listen first, and then make plans. This is my only advice to you, so do it for yourself!"

Lin Shiling was shocked. Since following the prince until now, His Royal Highness has never warned herself so severely. It seems that she really has to be careful about it?

Although he was timid about the prestige of the prince Li Hong, it also aroused his unconquerable character. Those who can sleep in the city of Chang'an for several months after entering the severe cold are obviously not because of the prince’s fate. A word of warning will easily dispel his planned strategy.

Confident people will always be like this. They can withstand failure and the glory of success, but above the glory, they can still accept the suggestions of others and then improve their own strategies. Lin Shiling is undoubtedly like this A kind of person.

He has absolute self-confidence in himself, and at the same time he has absolute conviction in the words of the people he admires, so Lin Shiling was inspired by Li Hong's enthusiasm, so Lin Shiling wished to leave and fly to Tubo, to see what it means Faith, what is God!

After talking with these two people, the sun again planned to end work early and began to sink towards the horizon. The city of Chang'an became dim again, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the walls, covering the large and small buildings in the city.

Half of the buildings in the Daming Palace are also covered with a layer of sacred gold, dragging a long, slightly desolate and exhausted shadow under the twilight, together with the sound of the twilight drum, reminding people of a busy day For the people, work at sunrise and rest at sunset are the laws of nature.
