Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 893 Marriage between Li and Luo (end of volume)
Luo Su is the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty!
What is a national teacher, a teacher of a country? What is a teacher? It means preaching, receiving knowledge, and solving doubts.

Luosu always bases his work on status, so everyone who has worked with him will never think that his words and deeds are out of line.

Since entering the Tang Dynasty, he has never had an official or a disciple under his sect, he has never been in charge of a party, and he has never discussed the war against the Dong Turks. In other words, he has never expressed any opinions on a certain important military and political matter.

But he once talked about ways to recuperate and recuperate, once talked about breaking the winter Turks, and now he is teaching the emperor and ministers in the palace what the great cause of the empire is and what the imperial system is.

What he said here reached the ears of the king and the prime minister, and the subsequent interest disputes had nothing to do with him. He only preached, and how to use it was a matter for the monarch and the ministers.

Luo Su returned to Lingtian Pavilion.

Like a sage who retired after his success, he sat back on the top of the mountain. No one knew when he would appear next, but everyone knew that it would be another major event that would affect the world.

Li Shimin issued an edict, and the regulations discussed by the prime ministers were quickly promulgated and two institutions were established in Chang'an, one called the Lifan Yuan and the other the Privy Council.

The chief of the Lifanyuan is called Lifanling, with the third rank and six divisions under him.

Take charge of affairs separately——

For the canonization of titles in charge of the vassal, the khans of various countries and the throne must be canonized by the khan of heaven.

As for the territories of various tribes, countries could not war with each other at will, so the border demarcation needed to be determined by the Tang Dynasty.

The amount of money and silk given by the Tang Dynasty every year, as well as the tribute of cattle, sheep and horses from the vassal, were part of the tribute system and rewards, and were a very important matter in the foreign policy of the Tang Dynasty.

The trade protection of the vassal official and the Tang official, the opening of trade at the border, and the Tang caravan going to the Western Regions must cooperate with each other.

Religious matters of the vassal.

General household statistics of the feudal clan.

It is basically set up according to the specifications of the Shangshu Province. Outside the Lifan Yuan, the chief of the Privy Council is called the Privy Envoy, the third rank. He is responsible for statistics of the soldiers of the vassal, as well as recruiting soldiers from various ministries. Khans and nobles from various countries are all in charge. The Privy Council would name them, and when the Tang Dynasty sent out troops, they would appoint generals from the Privy Council and follow them on the expedition.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the power of these two chambers is very great. Although the emperor did not say that these two chambers can participate in political affairs, so the official of the second chamber is not considered the prime minister, but that is because the second chamber is responsible for external affairs.

The prime minister's job is to govern the country.

But as long as it involves external affairs, these two houses are the prime ministers, because in the emperor’s edict, it is clearly stated that the edict issued in the name of Tian Khan is handed over to the Lifan Yuan for execution. What does this mean? Doesn’t it mean that the Lifan Yuan is responsible for external affairs? Shangshu Province!

The Tang Dynasty was really different from the previous dynasties. This is something that everyone can realize.

Those foreigners who came to Chang'an had a profound understanding of the tolerance of the Tang Dynasty.

These people wrote letters to their friends in their hometowns, asking them to come to Chang'an as soon as possible to see the largest metropolis in the world.

The Tang Dynasty is indeed different, because it is a dynasty that was re-established after hundreds of years of national integration!

……

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, something happened that was not big for the court but very important for Li Shimin.

That is, Queen Changsun gave birth to their second daughter. They have been married for so many years and have three sons and two daughters.

The most important thing is that when he learned that Queen Changsun gave birth to a daughter, he was very happy and said to Luo Xuanling: "Qingyu, I can finally do what I promised you back then."

What did you promise Luo Xuanling to do in the first place?

Of course, she wants to marry a daughter to Luo Xuanling's son.

Li Shimin was born in the Guanlong clan, and political marriage was almost engraved in the bones of these people. Most of his daughters married heroes and officials he valued.

Luo Xuanye's son Luo Juncheng married his eldest daughter, and Li Shimin decided to let Luo Xuanling's son Luo Junlie marry his second daughter. It was fair.

He couldn't give birth at first, so there was nothing he could do. Now that he was born, Li Shimin immediately brought up the matter.

Luo Xuanling naturally had no reason not to agree.

In today's Zhuxia, let alone free love, if a political marriage is required, then except for the princess of the Li family, there is no other high-ranking family that can match the Luo family.

Of course, the most important reason is that the Luo family is taking the initiative to integrate into the Tang Dynasty. Although they cannot marry the queen and let the emperor have Luo family's blood, they must at least be able to make the Li and Tang royal family think that they are theirs when they think of the Luo family. degree.

This requires more than one generation and more than one person to marry, just like the stability of the Ji Jiang Alliance, which was achieved by many countries together.

You must know that his sister Luo Xuanjing wanted to marry a princess of the Li family, but Li Shimin had no daughter at the time, so he had to give up, because Luo Xuanjing's son Luo Jungong was born in the second year of Wude, and was only older than Luo Jungong. Just one year younger.

This makes it necessary to mention that the next generation of Luo's legitimate sons will be named "Jun", and the man will be named "Successful, virtuous, Zhuohu (protector) and prosperous (also)".

The legitimate sons born now are Luo Juncheng, the son of Luo Xuanye, who was born in the first year of Wude.

Luo Jungong, the son of Luo Xuanjing, was born in the second year of Wude.

Luo Xuanxing's son Luo Junjun was born in the third year of Wude.

And Luo Xuanling's son Luo Junlie, who was born in the second year of Zhenguan, was born in the same year as Li Shimin's third son Li Zhi.

Among the seven people of the Xuan generation, Luo Xuanzang has not yet married. Luo Xuanye, who is guarding the Winter City, has two daughters but no sons. Luo Xuanchen has one daughter. Luo Xuanyun has not married. Luo Xuanye is here. Find it for him.

Therefore, the next generation currently only has four sons and four daughters. It is only fair that the powerful Luo family will have difficult heirs.

Luo Junlie was born in the second year of Zhenguan, and now it is the fourth year of Zhenguan. He and Li Shimin's legitimate second daughter are also very suitable in age, so there is no reason not to agree to the marriage.

For Li Shimin, it was a happy event to offer marriage to Luo again, but for Luo to accept it again, it was a great shock to the Tang court. Everyone could clearly feel that Luo was true. It’s different.

You must know that during the Han Dynasty, except for the founding of the country, the Luo family did not marry many princesses, but now the Luo family does not refuse anyone who comes. What does this mean?
This means that Luo Shi wants to expand his power in the secular world and change the style of the Han Dynasty. Many people who were belatedly realized it at this time. In fact, Luo Shi's changes have already been revealed.

Because if Luo Xuanye's entry into officialdom can still be explained by Luo Yinghou of the Han Dynasty, then it would be difficult to explain Luo Xuanling and Luo Xuanchen's entry into officialdom, let alone Luo Xuanyun's entry into officialdom.

No matter how much discussion there is, the emperor's trust and attention to Luo Shi is obvious, and his only two legitimate daughters are married to Luo Shi.

Many people even doubted whether the emperor would marry Luo again if he had a legitimate daughter.

……

In the early March of the fourth year of Zhenguan, the palace of Princess Pingyang was crowded with people. Many dignitaries were invited to the palace, probably because today was the arrest Sunday of Luo Junzhuo, the second son of Luo Xuanye and Li Xiuning.

One is the first person in the dynasty.

One is the emperor's biological sister, the first-grade Sikong, the eldest princess of Pingyang, the governor of Bingzhou, and the right Qinglongwei general.

The husband and wife teamed up together, and in the Tang Dynasty, no one except Li Shimin could speak.

Whether it's the imperial court or civil servants, who doesn't want to hug these two thick thighs?
Even Wei Zheng didn't quarrel with these two people, but specifically caught Li Shimin to quarrel with them.

In the back hall of the mansion, the four brothers, Luo Xuanye, Luo Xuanchen, Luo Xuanling, and Luo Xuanyun, are all sitting there. Luo Xuanjing and Luo Jingcheng are also here. All the brothers are busy with official duties and generally have no chance. When we get together, even though there are stigmata, even if we have never met before, we will not feel strange, but it is still a joy to meet.

Luo Xuanye was the most powerful one and often drank tea and wine with Li Shimin. Luo Xuanling stayed in the palace and was Li Shimin's personal bodyguard general. He knew many secrets. Even Luo Xuanchen, the prime minister, was worse than the two of them. a lot of.

After all, Luo Xuanye and Luo Xuanling were close ministers of the emperor, while Luo Xuanchen was a foreign minister. Except for formal state occasions, the emperor and his ministers rarely met each other.

Everyone sat together and talked about important family affairs and state affairs. Luo Xuanye remembered something and said to Luo Xuanyun: "Ayun, next year at the latest, you may be sent to the Western Regions or Mobei. "

Upon hearing this, Luo Xuanling suddenly remembered and answered: "It is most likely to be the Western Region. Mobei is not impossible, but the possibility is very low."

Going to the Western Regions?
Luo Xuanchen recalled that there was no news about this. He knew that this must have been said during a casual chat.

This kind of real gossip is not available in Zhengshitang. Luo Xuanyun was stunned and quickly asked: "Fifth brother, sixth brother, what's going on, tell me quickly."

After defeating the Dong Turks, Luo Xuanyun ascended to the sky in one step because of his personal contribution to capturing Jie Li. He was awarded the title of Duke of Wuwei, Zhu Guo, and Jin Ziguanglu, and his official rank was a general of the fourth rank.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Luo Xuanyun is going straight to Qingyun.

Luo Xuanchen came to his senses and asked belatedly: "Is it the Protectorate of Anxi or the Protectorate of Anbei?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

After the Winter Turks were pacified, the Western Turks were frightened and many countries in the Western Regions turned to the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty set up the Privy Council and the Lifan Yuan at the central level, and naturally also set up government agencies to manage the vassals at the local level, just like the central government had three provinces and six ministries, and the local governments had the Dudu's Office, the Dudu's Office, and the Governor's Office.

The local administrative body of the vassal vassal, that is, the yamen where the vassal council and the privy envoys are connected is the Duhufu.

The Western Region Protectorate and Liaodong Protectorate of the Han Dynasty played a great role in stabilizing the Han Dynasty's border areas.

Currently, there are only two Great Protectorates, Anxi and Anbei. Anxi is at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. This is where the Western Turks are relatively weak. The purpose is to overwhelm the Western Turks.

The Anbei Protectorate was established on the Selenge River in the northern desert, where Kharakorum is located. It was one of the most important grasslands for the grassland people in the northern desert.

The Great Protector's Mansion and the Protector's Mansion are different, just as the Great Governor's Mansion and the Dudu's Mansion are different.

The Great Protectorate is the superior tribe of the Protectorate. The rank of the Great Protector is very high. Like the Great Governor, they are all senior officials of the second rank. In terms of rank, they are equivalent to the ministers and servants, and are higher than the vassal order and the privy envoy. Half level higher.

Of course, since ancient times, it has been said that Beijing officials will be promoted by half a level, or even by one level, so generally the status of both parties is equal.

Luo Xuanye said: "It's most likely Anxi. Ayun is now a fourth-rank general. He went to Anxi to upgrade to half a rank. He happened to be from the third rank and served as the deputy governor of the Anxi Grand Protectorate."

Luo Xuanye said this, so the matter was basically settled.

Go to the Western Regions.

Everyone in the hall pondered the pros and cons, which was a good thing. Apart from being more dangerous, there were no other disadvantages.

Put in danger, definitely dangerous.

The Western Region is now in chaos. The Western Turks are in civil strife. On the surface, they surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but in fact they are definitely dissatisfied.

There are many countries in the Western Regions that will not really obey the Tang Dynasty in everything. There are pro-Tang factions and anti-Tang factions, and there are smart people and arrogant people.

In political life, if you imagine everyone as a rational person from God's perspective, you will be foolish. Most people kill people with passion and do things impulsively.

Especially small countries are very good at sitting in a well and looking at the sky. Sometimes they can't understand their brain circuits at all. They just want to jump, and then be beaten to death. After recovering, they jump again. The reincarnation continues and they seek death endlessly.

Luo Xuanyun himself was quite excited and said: "Unlike other brothers, I am not close to the emperor. If I stay in Chang'an, I have to go through the qualifications step by step. Only when I go to the Western Regions can I have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

Moreover, the second brother is also in the Western Region. When he arrives in the Western Region, he can cooperate with the second brother's actions. This is a good thing. I just don't know who the Anxi Protector is. I hope I can find someone who will cooperate with me tacitly, otherwise it will be bad. "

Luo Xuanjing heard this and said, "Finding a match for A-yun should be put on the agenda. It would be best to find one from among the royal relatives."

Luo Xuanye shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty's children are still young, so we can only look for the children of the Supreme Emperor, but now all the princesses of the right age have been married, and the remaining ones are too young and inappropriate.

If there really is a suitable one, how come I haven't found a fiancée for Ayun until now?
It seems that it is difficult for Ayun to marry Mr. Li. Let Ayun go to the Western Regions first and let the marriage be put aside for the time being. "

This is indeed the truth. Luo Xuanyun thinks so too. Why should a real man worry about not having a wife? Besides, there is no possibility of not having a wife. Luo Xuanyun can definitely find a wife in the Luo clan.

The reason why he wanted to find someone in the Li family was to bring him closer to Li Tang, which would be good for his future and the foundation of the family.

……

There are people everywhere in the courtyard and courtyard. Anyone caught here is extraordinary.

There was a lot of people drinking wine in the courtyard, familiar officials chatting with each other, passing on some gossip, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.

Especially the generals, each of them had a loud voice, but after one person arrived, all the voices stopped.

Since then, the greetings came one after another, "See you, your majesty. May your majesty be safe. See you, the queen. May the queen be blessed."

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun actually came to Princess Pingyang's mansion to attend a child's birthday party. This made many courtiers dumbfounded and raised the status of Princess Luo Xuanye and Princess Pingyang even higher.

Luo Xuanye and Li Xiuning hurried out to meet Li Shimin and Queen Changsun, "Your Majesty, Queen, how can I bother you with such a trivial matter for a child?"

Li Shimin waved his hand casually and said with a smile: "My nephew naturally wants to come to see you. Today I am not the emperor, I am a relative coming to visit."

Mrs. Changsun was talking and laughing next to her, still as gentle as water. She seemed to have always been like this. She truly understood what it meant to have water benefit all things without competing for it.

"Aunt, uncle, I don't think about Changle."

Princess Changle ran out from behind the Changsun family, first saluted the two of them, and then ran straight to Li Xiuning. Li Xiuning's waist and legs were long and powerful, and her waist was also very thin. Li Lizhi, who was already a little tall, hugged Li Xiuning and spread her arms. Be coquettish.

Li Xiuning fondly touched Li Lizhi's little head and smiled: "Of course I miss Changle."

Hearing this, Li Lizhi happily nuzzled Li Xiuning again, while Luo Xuanye greeted, "Your Majesty, Queen, please move to take a seat in the hall."

As soon as Li Lizhi raised her eyes, she saw Luo Juncheng looking at her with a smile. She quickly ran over and said playfully: "Cousin."

Luo Juncheng already looked quite gentle and elegant. He looked at Li Lizhi and chuckled: "Chang Le, I will take you to see Jun Zhuo."

Li Lizhi waved what she had in her hand, raised her wrinkled eyebrows quite proudly and said, "Okay, I brought a gift to my cousin. Look, the snacks brought out from the imperial kitchen are made of milk!"

A few years ago, Li Lizhi would have jumped into Luo Juncheng's arms, but now Luo Juncheng is thirteen years old and Li Lizhi is eleven years old. They were born into a noble family and matured early. Although they are still close, they are still close to each other. There are some rules, or maybe it's just shyness.

After all, there are still so many people in the courtyard now.

In private, Li Lizhi is still very attached to Luo Juncheng, just like she was when she was a child.

After the two left, Li Shimin and Changsun also walked into the inner hall. The courtyard was slightly restored to life, but it was no longer as lively as before.

After all, the Emperor is here, and it would be terrible if he said something to make the Emperor unhappy.

After a process of blessing and thanks.

Luo Xuanye placed Luo Junzhuo on the ground, and there were countless objects placed around Luo Junzhuo.

The little Luo Junzhuo lay on the ground, looked around, and then without hesitation climbed to the book first, and then climbed to the dagger studded with gems, then stood up from the ground with the book in his left hand and the sword in his right hand, holding it high rise.

This scene caused everyone around to cheer.

Li Shimin laughed loudly and said: "Qingyang, my nephew looks like he will be a talented man in both civil and military fields in the future.

Eh? "

After Luo Junzhuo looked around for a week, he staggered to Li Shimin's side, then handed out the sword and books in his hand, and said in a sweet voice: "Uncle...uncle, here, here."

There was silence in the hall, and then there was a commotion. Li Shimin picked up Luo Junzhuo and said, "What a boy!"

Then he smiled at Changsun and said, "Queen, let's have another daughter and marry this boy. He is destined for me!"
