Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Shu An's flat voice sounded, but the meaning of the words was already obvious, that is to build Lingyan Pavilion.

You must know that Shu An at this time is uneasy and kind. If there is anything in the Tang Dynasty that is most famous, then Lingyan Pavilion is none other than Lingyan Pavilion.

The 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion are well known to the world in later generations, but the origin of Lingyan Pavilion did not originate from the Tang Dynasty, but from the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The future Lingyan Pavilion was only established in the 17th year of Zhenguan. At that time, the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion were already 70 or [-] years old, and some of them had already passed away.

At this time, most of them lost their spirits, so naturally they wouldn't care too much about Lingyan Pavilion's ranking, but now it's different.

After the words fell, the eyes of the civil servants and military generals present could not help but light up slightly, and they also looked straight at His Majesty sitting on the high hall.

However, Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, and after seeing the half-smiling face of this cheap father-in-law, he suddenly came to his senses.

Now civil servants and military generals are not convinced by anyone. The construction of Lingyan Pavilion is likely to become a fuse. It is a problem who is at the front and who is behind.

But can Li Shimin say not to build it, presumably he can't, he didn't see the eyes of civil servants and generals below.

Even his elder brother, who was always scheming, showed a hint of urgency, which made Li Shimin have a headache all of a sudden.

Where in the world can escape a name, especially that sentence for future generations to admire, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Certainly, according to Yafu's words."

"Ministry of Rites, leave this matter to your preparations!"

Li Shimin's words sounded, but there seemed to be a trace of unwillingness in the words.

Some civil servants present naturally saw the confrontation between the Weng and his son-in-law, but they were silent.

Could it be that the civil servants and generals present couldn't see that An Xuangong wanted them to compete? This is naturally impossible. Both Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling are highly resourceful people.

But no matter what the final ranking is, they are the ones who get the reputation, so if you look at the pros and cons, all civil servants and generals who go to Lingyan Pavilion owe a favor to An Xuangong.

As for the competition between civil servants and military generals, Changsun Wuji and others didn't care that much. On the one hand, the two did not deal with each other.

Anyway, in the end, it will be handed over to His Majesty for adjudication, so Changsun Wuji and others naturally don't care about it. As for the generals, they didn't pay attention to the calculations at all.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Kuan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said respectfully, but with a wry smile on his face, he could achieve the position of six ministers.

He naturally had some brains, so he naturally saw the intention of Duke Anxuan's move, and he didn't expect to ask the Ministry of Rites to do it in the end.

No.16 Chapter Chang'an Discussion, Qu Yuanli!

"teacher!"

"teacher!"

.....

When the court meeting was over, Shu An was surrounded by many people. There were the prime ministers of the court, as well as the patriarchs of many aristocratic families, all gathered around Shu An.

"Teacher, how are you doing recently?"

"Due to the teacher's health, I didn't visit the teacher last time. It's really a sin."

......

A series of words rang out, with concern and greetings, but everyone in Shu An replied.

"Being an official with diligence and being an upright person, being a teacher can not teach you much, the rest depends on your own understanding."

In the end, Shu An made a summary and left. Sometimes there are too many students, it is also a problem. Even Shu An's head hurts a little.

Imperial study room

"Old man, how dare you bully me!"

At the same time, Li Shimin, who returned to the imperial study, said with a hint of reluctance on his face.

He had already imagined the next battle between civil servants and military generals, and the person who made the final decision still wanted him to come. Although it was not yet that time, he already felt a faint headache.

However, Li Shimin didn't expect the result of his calculation of Shu An first, of course, the emperor was a heartless person.

The same is true in fact, just the end of the court meeting, the content of Lingyan Pavilion about the court meeting spread throughout Chang'an City in just a moment.

"Lingyan Pavilion should be headed by Prime Minister Fang. After all, we have worked hard and worked hard all the way."

"The Duke of Wei, Li Yaoshi, is also not bad. He is good at using soldiers and strategies. It can be said that he has made outstanding achievements."

"I think that Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, should be the leader to suppress Fugong Er, destroy Guangling and Danyang, calm down the south of the Yangtze River, keep the clan in time, and make great achievements in the world."

........

In the restaurants and inns throughout Chang'an, there are many literati children discussing, and the same honorable children are also disobedient to each other.

For a while, the law and order in the whole of Chang'an deteriorated a lot, especially the number of fights among Xungui's children increased sharply.

And these honorable children saw their father's reputation being humiliated, so it would be strange if they didn't do anything.

The most troublesome thing at this time is Lu Kuan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, because who is the first to enter the list of Lingyan Pavilion, and how to rank needs to be considered.

There are also many princes who have hinted that they want to rank themselves higher, but this ranking is destined to be ranked at the front and behind.

"Make a list first, and leave the rest to His Majesty for judgment!"

Lu Kuan finally gritted his teeth and said, anyway, if he ranked himself, he would surely offend some ministers, which would be worse than offending His Majesty.

Offending His Majesty is at best because he thinks he is not pleasing to the eye for a period of time, but if this ranking is determined by himself, then I am afraid that he will have a lifetime of enmity.

.........

The storm in Chang'an did not affect Shu An's mood. At this time, Shu An was in a farm on the outskirts of Chang'an.

"Master, this is the academy built according to your request."

A middle-aged man trotted up to Shu An and said, with a hint of excitement in his words.

"Xiao Chengzi, it seems that you have a lot of talent in this area."

Shu An said with a smile. In the distance is a house made of wood and mud, which is much more delicate than imagined.

"It all depends on the master's cultivation!"

This middle-aged man's name is Zhang Cheng, and he has been with him since he was young. At the beginning, he learned carpentry, although Shu An is not a carpenter.

However, he who came from later generations is well-informed. For example, many furniture is made by Zhang Cheng. Of course, he has to provide design drawings.

Over the past few decades, Zhang Cheng has slowly grown into a great carpenter, although carpenters have no status in this era.

But among Shu'an's farms, they are quite prestigious, because every furniture and house construction is related to him.

Unlike other farms, the houses in Shu'an's farm were not built by the tenants themselves, but by Shu'an himself.

So the whole village looks very neat and refreshing, and the money for the construction of the houses is paid by Shu An, but the tenants can rent or buy.

If you rent it, you will charge less rent every month. If you buy it, Shuan will use the method of buying a house with a loan in the future, and let these tenants divide it into ten years.

In this way, as long as you work hard, there is no problem in wanting to buy a house, especially when there is no one else, even a poor family will bite the bullet and buy a house.

Next to the academy is a fief village. Shu An walked all the way on the road of the village, listening to Zhang Cheng's report. Zhang Cheng, a carpenter, has become the chief manager of the farm.

"Master, this year's harvest is good, especially the new plow you brought back from the south of the Yangtze River is very good, reducing the cost of farming cattle a lot."

Zhang Cheng said with a trace of excitement, obviously happy to have a good day.

Although every year the master just collected some things from the farm as a symbol, now every household has a lot of surplus grain, which is simply unimaginable for many farmers.

Especially in the previous wars, many people cherished the present life, and they knew that it was all given by the master in front of them.

Shu An was slightly taken aback, he did not expect that the Quyuan plow he brought back from Suzhou would play a role. You must know that the previous plows needed two oxen to pull them, but the Quyuan plow only needed one, or even manpower.

In fact, he only knew that Quyuanli existed, and that it was developed during the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't know how to manufacture it.

This is high-mindedness but low-handedness, but Shu An was not angry because he remembered that Quyuanli originated from Suzhou.

After all, it may take a long time from transformation to development, and hard work pays off. When he was traveling in Suzhou, he saw that someone had already transformed it. At that time, he was very happy.

Under such circumstances, he sent someone back to Chang'an to see if it could be further optimized.

Unexpectedly, it has been used, and the effect is not bad. If it is popularized, it must be able to save material and manpower.

We must know that the homes of ordinary people are equipped with two cattle in one village, which means that during the rotation process, it is very likely that the best time for sowing the cultivated land will be missed, resulting in a decline in the harvest.

Not to mention the severe drought in Guanzhong this year, and if he remembered correctly, there will be natural disasters of varying degrees in the next few consecutive years.

"Perhaps the promotion of Quyuanli can make more people harvest more."

Shu An thought silently, but Li Shimin still needs to take care of this matter. As for his words, although he needs some influence, there is no need to fight for everything.

After thinking of this, Shu An began to plan this matter, after all, it would be of great help to his reputation.

Chapter No.17 brooding and preaching

"Is this the list made by the Ministry of Rites?"

Li Shimin's eyes showed a stern look at the Minister of Rites in front of him and said.

At this time, Lu Kuan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't help sweating coldly under this gaze. This emperor is not easy to bully.

The change of Xuanwumen not long ago is vivid in his mind, and he will never forget the cold side of this emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites examines his merits, and that is indeed the case."

Lu Kuan bit the bullet and said, he naturally knew why this majesty was like this, because according to the above records, the military generals took the lead.

"Forget it, you step back!"

Li Shimin spoke up after being silent for a long time. In fact, the Ministry of Rites cannot be blamed for this, because there are still many things that people don't know.

For example, only he was aware of Wen Chen's many plans in Tiance Mansion before, and they were not recorded. After all, he was only the King of Qin at that time.

However, even if he added it, how to rank it, Li Shimin couldn't help but have a headache for a while.

After thinking for a long time, Li Shimin finally didn't start writing to give the specific ranking of these people.

"Let's go to the Imperial Garden first."

In the end, Li Shimin decided to take a breath before talking, even if it was about rankings, he still couldn't say it.

After all, there will always be people who will be dissatisfied, but when he came to the Royal Garden and saw the Guanyin maidservant, Li Shimin couldn't help being puzzled.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

After Empress Changsun saw Li Shimin, she couldn't help standing up, with a hint of affection between her eyebrows and her eyes.

"Guanyin maidservant, where is the beauty?"

Li Shimin shook his head slightly and said, although he had already said that there is no need to salute, but Empress Changsun still did.

"Going to the farm on the outskirts of Yafu."

"They were going to go yesterday, but Yafu is not in the city."

Empress Changsun seemed to think of the children and couldn't help but show a little kindness and said, but at this time Li Shimin felt that his whole body was not good.

"This old man knows to run away after throwing a trouble."

Li Shimin said a little annoyed, obviously he was worried about this matter.

"Your Majesty, Yafu is old, but he is much smarter than when he was young."

Empress Changsun slightly covered her mouth and said with a light smile, between her Yafu and her husband, she chose to stand on reason.

She knows a little bit more about the affairs above the court. Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, it doesn't mean that she doesn't even know about it.

And the mutual calculation of the Weng and his son-in-law in the court made her a little dumbfounded, as if the two had disliked each other from the very beginning.

"Your Majesty, why don't my concubines ask Yafu how?"

Empress Changsun's eyes flickered and she said, one must know that as a queen, it is very difficult to leave the palace without special circumstances.

Of course, even if Empress Changsun had such thoughts, as the master of the harem, she would set an example by setting an example.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, but he seemed to think of something again, and his pupils dimmed a little.

"Let's go together, I haven't been there yet."

Li Shimin's faint voice sounded, in fact, when he was the king of Qin, he often went to the minister's house in order to buy people's hearts.

After ascension to the throne, the number of times I went there was once or twice, but not as many as when I was king of Qin, but no matter whether it was before or after ascension to the throne.

Speaking of which, he has never been to the mansion of this cheap father-in-law, but Empress Changsun often went back to stay for a few days when she was the princess.
