Chapter Thirty-Three Early Morning Anecdotes
Pei Min slept in Sun's Mansion all night and was in peace!
Li Longji also ushered in the morning court this day.
The court meeting was undoubtedly discussed around the major event of Fengshan.
Regarding the process of Fengshan, there are many, many details that need to be discussed one by one.
The overhead is of course the most important.
To be luxurious or frugal, you must first decide this.
Only by setting this down can you start everything that follows.
Early this morning, the civil and military officials in the court were ready.
Before Li Longji arrived, all civil and military officials were preparing for the war.
This kind of debate in court is the time when you can best understand the talents of officials and the best time to add points in front of the king.
All civil and military officials have put in full force. Some are prepared to persuade them to be frugal, while others are prepared to persuade them to be extravagant and grand.
Like Wang Maozhong, a famous hero of the Yuan Dynasty in Tang Dynasty.
Wang Maozhong's treatment was excellent. He was not like Gao Lishi, and he often accompanied Li Longji, nor was he as good as Pei Min's military achievements, and was unparalleled. However, he was a general, Kaifu Yi and the three corpses, and his status was equivalent to that of the Grand Tutor, Taifu, and Taibao.
As a general, Wang Maozhong's main task was to raise horses and grow vegetables in the vast land where no one was in the palace. The secondary task was to be responsible for the safety of the palace.
The book also records that Wang Maozhong "has often harvested grasslands in the camp in the garden, and the rate was abundant."
As the general of the Left Wu Guard, Duke Huo and the three departments of Kaifu Yitong, he was famous for not judging his strength by his military merits, but for growing vegetables, horses and grass. Throughout history, only Wang Maozhong was the only one.
It can also be seen that Li Longji's employability skills.
This nepotism is a problem that Li Longji can never get rid of in his life. It is highly valued by all those close to him, but his characteristics of using people are undoubtedly demonstrated.
He knew that Wang Maozhong's talent was not good at fighting or administration. He gave him a high position, but arranged for him to grow vegetables and grass in the palace.
Wang Maozhong was not ashamed, but was proud.
Recently, everything has been wrong. He first sought the position of governor of Longyou, and he made Pei Min bad twice.
Secondly, he looked down on eunuchs the most and beat and scolded eunuchs in the palace.
Even Li Longji's close servant, Wang Maozhong did not let him go.
Eunuchs of Gao Lishi and Yang Sixu were scolded by him, so that when they saw Wang Maozhong, they had to give in and try not to face him.
Wang Maozhong was also complacent about this.
But now he saw that Gao Lishi had unknowingly had his reputation above him, and a priest who he looked down upon actually crawled on his head.
Wang Maozhong was really unwilling to accept that Pei Min, who was so successful in military achievements, could not compare to a eunuch?
Wang Maozhong made up his mind this time and wanted to rush up. He fell in love with the position of Minister of War and intended to squeeze out the current Minister of War Han Yu.
He had a comprehensive plan for this, first to meet his preferences, help Li Longji to make this Fengshan bigger and please him, and then asked Li Longji for the Minister of War.
As expected, as the civil and military officials thought, the court meeting opened.
The topic immediately revolved around Fengshan...
Wang Maozhong couldn't wait to stand up, talk big, introduce the scriptures and theories, and recite the article he had paid a lot of money to ask the great scholar to memorize all night, and read it word for word.
A great truth was shocked by the civil and military officials in the court.
Wang Maozhong actually spoke this great truth in an eloquent manner, just as strange as the sun came out of the West.
The officials looked at Li Longji's reaction and couldn't help but feel nervous.
Observing words and expressions is a necessary skill in the officialdom. It is not difficult to see how Li Longji's performance a few days ago was that the king's original intention was to do it once with great fanfare, but there were too many people persuading him and he was not settled for a while.
But now his attitude is confused, and there is no expression on his face. He hesitated for a while: "There is no need to mention this matter. I thought about it all night last night and suddenly thought of a famous saying by Emperor Taizong of our dynasty, "Water can carry a boat, but can also overturn the boat." I deeply feel the hardships of the people in the world, but now the nine provinces are settled, and the people have just lived a rich life. I can't bear to hurt the people's benefits because of the Fengshan incident... There is no need to be extravagant in this Fengshan. The fearless pomp can be simple. I repay the achievements of heaven with sincerity, and I pray for blessings for the people of the world, rather than showing off my wealth in the world. There is no need to discuss it again!"
The words of righteousness made the court feel ashamed of the civil and military officials, and they all bowed: "Your Majesty cares about the people, and the virtuous and wise, my Tang Dynasty will surely be prosperous and prosperous..."
Wang Mao Zhong stood stupidly, looking confused, and was in tears.
When Li Longji saw that all the officials reacted fiercely, he knew that what Pei Min said was true. If this matter spreads, who would not miss him, Li Longji's goodness?
Only Song Jing and Zhang said that people like this understand the real reason.
They knew their emperor too well, and this was not something he did in character, and someone must have convinced him.
Who is this person? With their talent, there is no need to guess at all.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "Pei Gong is wise, brave, kind and kind, and there is no right in the world."
Duke Pei is a symbol of his status and official position, but Duke Pei sincerely recognizes a person.
Fengshan's podium has been decided, but there are still many trivial matters to discuss next.
For example, if Yaxian is selected and the matter of the prince being reigned after Li Longji left, these details need to be discussed carefully.
Especially Yaxian, Yaxian is a crucial existence in Fengshan.
The three offerings are the most solemn ceremony for the Fengshan sacrifice to heaven and ancestors, which is the first offering, the second offering, and the final offering.
The first Xian was naturally responsible for the emperor Li Longji, which was necessary and inevitable. Yaxian was responsible for the important officials in the court since ancient times, and was generally the task of the highest officials. It was monopolized by senior officials. In the end, Xian was also responsible for the ministers, but it was far less important than Yaxian.
Originally, it was enough to use the ancient system, but when Emperor Gaozong was in Fengshan, Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi listened to Wu Zetian's opinion and performed Jiang Zen as the queen, and the concubine Yan of Yue Kingdom was the final offering.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, Li Xian, was an incompetent wife Guan Yan, and Empress Wei took charge of Yaxian to swear his status.
Now, should the important officials in the court perform the great gift of Yasheng according to the ancient system, or should the queen take charge of Yasheng according to the new system?
Yaxian, a position that Wu Zetian must strive for, shows how important it is.
Historians have always regarded Wu Zetian's struggle for the grand ceremony of his ambition as the first manifestation of his ambition.
With choice, there will naturally be debate.
In the end, Zhang Shuo took Wu Zetian and Empress Wei as an example, and revolved around the theme of "respecting heaven and respecting gods, and reinforcing justice", and decided on the matter and opposed the queen's ceremony of performing the ceremony of the fair and sacrificed it to the ancient system.
Next comes the matter of the prince’s reign and the country’s reign, which is a discussion about the prince’s reign and the country.
Because Queen Wang had no queen, Li Longji succeeded the prince as the prince with his concubine Li Siqian.
Li Siqian, a young man, has never had any experience in governing the country to handle government affairs.
Li Longji just asked Li Siqian to learn, and he never had any contact with government affairs. Suddenly, he was responsible for major issues such as state supervision, so he naturally needed to discuss it carefully.
