Crown Tang emperor

Chapter 0326

The next day, the palace envoy brought a group of eunuchs and maidservants to the palace of Luxinfang. Seeing this, Li Tong couldn't help feeling that it was refreshing to cooperate with a smart person like his aunt, and there was no need to worry about things. can be arranged properly.

He wants to run his own gang, so there's no need to hide this from his grandma.To make such a request from Junchen related personnel is to express a meaning, I don’t compare myself with others, just like Junchen has so many party members, you have to let me loose some standards, so that I can do things better .

Standing outside to see you squatting now, everyone is strong and strong, you can't just pull me to the front, I'm going to take a step back here, and then tie my hands and feet, I really can't do it, maybe our ancestors Both Sun and Sun had to be put in a pit.

This is by no means alarmist. In the history of the Shenlong coup, Wu Zetian and her little partner Zhang brothers were all kicked into the pit.

Of course, Li Tong didn't expect to be pampered by his grandma to the Zhang brothers, after all, the sense of crisis in the court situation is not so strong right now.Moreover, he is only relatively less harmful, and it is not completely impossible to put his grandma in the pit.

The palace envoys sent ten eunuchs and ten palace maids, all of whom were not very old, and the oldest was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.There is no definite age at this age, and there are no complicated personnel involved. It can be cultivated as a confidant, and it will be more convenient to use in the future.

Li Tong made some inquiries, and found that these young men and women palace slaves had already received basic literacy education in the Inner Literature Museum, and they were able to read and write, and handle some rough copy affairs, so they were more satisfied.

His elder brother Li Guangshun was about to go on an envoy to Sichuan, and Li Tong was still considering who he should send to follow him.On the level of major affairs, he naturally has other arrangements, but some ordinary and trivial matters also require some smart people to listen to them.

The people sent by his grandmother were just in time. Even if Li Tongdang assigned five men and five women to his elder brother, he told his grandmother that he would not be careless about the matter of flying money in Shuzhong. Candidates sent by the Central Committee are assured of appointment.

Here, there was another young man who caught Li Tong's attention, and the palace envoy also gave a more solemn introduction, that is the youngest son of former Prime Minister Le Sihui.

"My servant's name is Lego, and I greet the king!"

The young man stepped forward and saluted meticulously.

After Li Tong heard this name, he was full of memories, and he sighed for a moment, and then he came back to look at the boy in front of him.

After the young man saluted, he stood upright and respectful at the table, facing the young king's scrutiny and observation, he only dealt with it calmly, compared with the other palace servants who seemed a bit timid and rigid, he behaved much more calmly and decently.

Seeing this, Li Tong couldn't help but sigh with emotion that the prime minister's family education is extraordinary, and he can appeal for grievances at such a young age, and the imperial prelude is right.Although there must be help from big shots behind him, it also proves that this kid is far more mature and stable than his peers.

The little guy was only nine years old when he was a child, his quiet face was still childish, and his appearance was also very cute with red lips and white teeth.Li Tong was not surprised by this either. His grandma was also a senior member of the Yan Party. If she was just a brat with a snotty face, she might not have the patience to meet her in person.

He briefly asked this little Lego a few questions, and the young man was able to answer them calmly. Afterwards, Li Tong said curiously: "I have heard about Xiaolang's brilliance. Since the family has changed, why don't you go home and live in peace?" Entered the palace again?"

"After the family suffered a catastrophe, the parents did not survive, and the relatives and disciples went far away. Those in Beijing have no reason to be good. Your Majesty pitied your servant for helplessness, so he was adopted in the palace. Now he is being used by the king to move his servant into a branch like the king. Under the Yinggui Mansion, although the servants are weak and weak, they will definitely do their best to uphold the king's teaching!"

Lego answered meticulously, but at the end of the talk, he couldn't help showing some temperament that a young man should have on his face. He looked at Li Tong with reverence and said: "So evil comes to Junchen, and it runs rampant in the city, and no one can stop it." However, he humiliated himself to the king! Before he went to the palace, the servants and others saw his miserable situation, and they were all happy in private. The king’s nature is like a calamus, which can dispel evil poisons in the world!"

After Li Tong heard this, he also laughed, raised his hand and said, "You can come in and out with me from now on."

The little guy is really very clever, able to read emotions, not the ignorance and stubbornness that are common at this age.Before any accidents happened in the family, it was probably also the love thing in the arms of parents.After chatting with him for a while, Li Tong had a good impression of him, and decided to stay by his side and listen to him.

Although the Le family is not a Guanlong surname, Le Sihui is also a father and son for two generations, and is a quite prominent official family in the world.

This Lego not only has a cute personality, but also involves all kinds of scriptures in his knowledge. When Li Tong casually asked him a question to test him, Li Shouli also came over to make fun of him, but was compared to him. He blushed and retreated, surrounded by a few new maidservants Spin around.

Although this kind of knowledge is not profound, it is more than enough for a child prodigy.However, being born in the family of a prime minister, probably his parents thought that they would not worry about their future. They didn't want their children to enter the world and show off before they were determined, and they wanted to continue to cultivate their talents for a long time.

However, Li Tong is still a little puzzled, that is, when this kid talks about His Majesty the Holy Emperor, he is full of gratitude in both words and expressions. This kind of emotional expression is not fake. degree of camouflage.

Li Tong knows that he still has a gap with the thinking of the ancients after all. Perhaps in the eyes of the little guy, the change of his family's life is just a rape in the court, and His Majesty the Holy Emperor is the one who cleared his family's sins. Mingjun.

But even if you don't consider the catastrophe of the family, even though the old woman adopts you in the palace, it won't hurt you to stab you?Or do you think it's as simple as pulling a knife?

Li Tong could only sigh with emotion. Although the little guy was clever, he was young after all, so he didn't know what he had lost!

With these palace slaves entering the mansion, the king's mansion became even more lively.Younger sister Li Youniang saw many boys and girls of similar age entering the mansion, and she was so excited to choose the one who was close to her eyes as her playmate.

Li Tong has always been the main family affairs, and he ordered half of it to be distributed to his elder brother Li Guangshun.

Li Shouli complained a few words, but he didn't dare to argue, but he was very interested in the pair of twin maidservants. Unfortunately, he was chosen by Li Youniang, and he wanted to get it back.

Seeing this, Li Tong raised his leg and gave him a kick.This guy was hooked up by a bad friend in Xijing, and his blood power gradually awakened, and he has gradually become a beast.

With the support of her three brothers, Li Youniang was naturally not afraid of Li Shouli, she stepped forward and put her arms around Li Tong, sticking out her tongue at Li Shouli to make a face.As for the remaining ones, Li Tong decided to assign them to his aunt Fang and Li Shouli's biological mother Zhang Liangyuan. He himself just took the little Lego.

After the distribution of these boys and girls was over, Li Tong couldn't help thinking deeply about the meaning of his grandma's arrangement, and sent some young and inexperienced palace slaves to be trained and trained by him, which probably drained his excessive energy.

However, the handsome young king who was born in the clan was reduced to a subject, and he was raised by playing at home. This script seems familiar.Of course, compared with Guangyuan's little Teddy, his private life is much more discreet.

Putting aside these miscellaneous thoughts, Li Tong called Wei Suizhong again, and ordered: "You go out of the mansion today, gather up some relevant personnel, and don't have to stay in the mansion for a long time, come to ask questions day and night, and wait for the decree."

Wei Suizhong nodded quickly after hearing the words, and then asked for instructions with some uncertainty: "Then, is the humble post going to use some trick to send these disciples, or is it just to report the king's decree?"

As soon as Li Tong heard this, he knew that this guy still had a heart, and he didn't dare to offend Lai Junchen completely.

However, his grandma already knew about this matter, and she had already made acquiescence. Li Tong was not afraid of Wei Suizhong's repeated actions. If this guy was really ignorant, he could just get rid of him when he got on the track.

If it's done well, I'll plant someone else's hand and let his grandma take a look. I was knocked off just after I received the dog legs here. The thieves made my heart die!

"It's up to you to decide on your own, and ask questions about everything, what's the use of you?"

He waved his hand and drove Wei Suizhong away.With this guy walking around on the stage, Li Tong didn't have to rely on Tian Dasheng and the others for everything, increasing the risk of exposure before the team was polished and mature, which was also a cover for Tian Dasheng and the others.

However, after Wei Suizhong left for a short day, he hurried back to the Wang residence with a mournful face, and when he saw Li Tong, he shouted: "Your Majesty, the situation is not good..."

It turned out that when he visited Lai Junchen's eyes and ears, he found that quite a few of them had been pulled out, and his movements were quick and quick without leaving any traces. It was obvious that he was targeted by some powerful existence.

Li Tong also had foreseen this, and was not surprised after hearing the words.It is true that the personnel network laid out by Lai Junchen covers a wide range of areas, from the upper part to the court hall, and the lower part to the residence, and even the Wei Wang Wu Chengsi's family has slaves and maidservants who have secret information.

Li Tong did not hide these sensitive personnel matters.After all, he is not a simple torture official like Lai Junchen. The existence of these eyes and ears does not mean much to him. Once exposed by the inspection, it will bring about a political crisis.

Even if he wants to fight with the Wu family, he doesn't need the gossip he heard from the corners, and he can show his frankness by explaining it, and put eye drops on his grandma by the way. It is up to me to help them point out the eyes and ears of surveillance.I'm different, there are 10,000+ Tibetans, you don't even know it!

Regarding this, he didn't explain too much to Wei Suizhong, but just asked this guy to collect how many personnel and personnel were left, and use as much as he could.

The time soon came to the end of September, and Li Tong's appointment as Luantai's imperial edict was officially issued, and he needed to devote himself to new work content.

Chapter 0327

As the sun rose in late September, Li Tong got up early and rushed to Duanmen of the imperial city.

Like all people who have been on vacation for a long time and have a disordered work and rest, I really don't think of it so early, riding slowly all the way, I kept yawning and my body was shaking.

It was the first time for this little guy, Lego, to travel with the king. Seeing this scene, he walked along with his short legs and followed the horse with his hands clasped, lest the king would fall off.

When Li Tong noticed, the little guy was already panting from exhaustion, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted on following.

"Can you ride a horse?"

Li Tong really couldn't bear to abuse the child laborers. After asking a question, seeing the little guy shaking his head, he pointed to Yang Sixu who was behind him and said, "Take him."

Yang Sixu stepped forward, lifted the Lego and placed it in front of his saddle. He didn't feel any sense of crisis as a king's confidant. He rubbed the little guy's head and said with a smile: "I thought Xianzong was an orphan, and I didn't expect this kid Although the muscles and bones are immature, they are resilient."

Lego is also a young man who is so strong. After hearing the words, he hummed and said, "I used to be in Sinong, and I was not idle. It is definitely not empty words to say that I want to respect the king's teaching!"

Hearing this, Li Tong and all the followers laughed, this little guy is really lovable.

A group of people traveled through most of the city, and when they arrived at Tianjin Bridge, the group of ministers was entering the Duanmen in an orderly manner.Li Tong didn't have to go to court today, he went to Luantai to receive the edict after he retired from the court, and then went to the palace to thank him before officially performing his duties, so he was not in a hurry to enter.

After crossing the bridge, he dismounted and waited. He was also thinking about moving.Previously, the Wang residence was located in Luxinfang, so there was no room for choice, and it was also convenient for doing things.

However, returning to Shendu this time is indeed too inconvenient. I get up early every day to go to work in the imperial city from outside the sixth ring road, and there is no subway. Who can bear this torment.Moreover, after taking office in Luantai, all he came into contact with were the central and important personnel of the affairs department, so it was not convenient for others to find him for business.

Although Junchen's house in Daodefang was taken over, that place was reserved for Li Shouli to live in after his wedding, so he didn't have to go there to join in the fun.Li Tong planned to find another mansion on both sides of Paradise Street, but the expensive square here is full of carrots and pits, so it's better to see who will be unlucky after getting involved, and then make a long-term plan.

He was still thinking about it here, and there were already people waving to greet him at the side of the Duanmen. Li Tong followed the reputation and saw the tall Zhang Yue running in small steps. into the province."

Zhang said that now that the official is Zuo Buque, he is a subordinate of Luantai, and it is appropriate to come to be in charge of guidance.

"It's not that I don't know where the Luantai is, so why don't you make another trip?"

Li Tongxing stepped forward and nodded to Zhang, and said: "Nowadays, personnel are being refurbished, and old customs must be changed one by one, so as not to fall into the trap."

The punishment for depriving him of the kingship was to be issued one step earlier than the imperial edict of being an official. Zhang said that he hesitated when he heard this, and said after a while: "I am hereby ordered to guide you. labor."

Li Tong entered the imperial city, and the rest of the body was waiting outside the palace, while Yang Sixu and Le Gao, two eunuchs, accompanied them inside.

This is naturally against the rules. In the past, he had the status of Zongwang, so few people cared about him, but now he is just a courtier, which is still a bit eye-catching.However, these two eunuchs had their own talisman orders to walk in the imperial city and led the miscellaneous envoys of Si Gongtai, and they happened to walk with Li Tong along the way, so it was not impossible to be flexible.

It was still early morning, and the imperial city was a little deserted, and there were many low-ranking bureaucrats walking around, but they all walked in a hurry and rarely stopped to talk.

Compared with the introspection structure, Luantai Outer Province is located under the Zetian Gate in the imperial city, the first horizontal street in the east of the city, and is next to the Dongchao Hall.

At the turn of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Wang Shichong occupied Luoyang, and there was a rule of accepting remonstrance in the hall of the east court and resolving injustice in the hall of the west court.Although there are no such express regulations in the imperial court, the east and west halls of the imperial city are often just small regular meetings of the imperial court, places for subordinates to discuss, and usually one or several prime ministers are appointed to preside over them.

As for the court meetings hosted by Wu Zetian, even if they were not in the Ming Hall, they were often held between several halls in Miyagi.Li Tong suspected that his grandma might be worried about going in and out of the imperial city frequently, and might be locked up in the southern province someday.

This is completely feasible in theory. The power of the prime minister in the Tang Dynasty was not as crippled as in later generations, and all the officials and soldiers were in charge.If they really kept the emperor in the southern province, they would definitely have the power to control the court.

Not only Wu Zetian, but other emperors were also wary of the southern province. It was precisely because of this kind of precaution at the front door that fires often broke out in the backyard.

The Shenlong coup, and subsequent coups by Tang Long, Xiantian including Prince Zhongzong Li Chongjun, etc., all started from the Xuanwu Gate without exception. Whether they can control the Xuanwu Gate became the key to the success of the coup.

Of course, it doesn't mean that such precautions are unreasonable. Li Cunxu, Zhuangzong of the later Tang Dynasty, was killed in Xingjiaomen in Southern Province, which is now Mingdemen.

As one of the three central provinces, Luantai is naturally extremely large in scale, even surpassing the Dongchaotang.Coincidentally, the Xichaotang and Fengge Zhongshusheng across the street also have the same layout.

As for Wenchang Shangshu Province, it is not symmetrical where it is placed, so it is not in the imperial city at all, but placed in the east city outside the imperial city.

One of the three dignified provinces actually became a partial house, but there is no need to feel wronged. After Li Zhaode paid his respects to the Prime Minister, he proposed to overhaul Wenchang Provincial Government Office.When Li Tong walked through the east city when he entered and exited the palace city, he saw that the construction was already in full swing.

Although Li Tong is now an old fritter who returned to the dynasty, most of his trips to Luantai were for introspection, and he hadn't been to other provinces much.After all, his previous career only lasted half a year, strictly speaking, only a few months, and his main work was still devoted to compiling books and checking auspiciousness, and he didn't have much to do in other provinces.

This time, under the leadership of Zhang Shuo, he came down to the other provinces of Luantai, and saw that the building was magnificent. Compared with other government offices around him, it stood out from the crowd.

For Li Tong's arrival, the Luantai officials also attached great importance to it. Although the chief official Shangzuo was still attending the court, the subordinate Yamen officials had already lined up in front of the official office.

Seeing this scene, Li Tong was also very happy in his heart, this is the posture that a strong soldier should have.Like the Lintai where he worked before, not to mention two or three kittens, not long after he entered the station, he encountered evil neighbors from Xiantai who came to slap him in the face, and he had to rely on him as a newcomer to stand out.

Luantai is an important hub in the southern province, and those who can do it can naturally be said to be the best in the world, and there is an unconcealed arrogance in their speech.

Although he went out to greet Li Tong, he was not too humble because of Li Tong's special status. It seemed that most of them were curious.After the courtesy meeting, they all dispersed, only Zhang Yue, who was in charge of receiving and guiding, accompanied him in the side hall, waiting for the prime minister to retreat and surrender.

The chief of Luantai is Nayan, who was originally Jianchang Wang Wu Youning, but Wu Youning was dismissed from political affairs not long ago and transferred to the Ministry of Industry Winter Official Shangshu, and has been short of staff.

Right now, there are two Luantai servants in charge of the affairs, namely Cui Yuanzong and Yang Zaisi. Among them, Cui Yuanzong is in the Zhizhengshitang and belongs to the sequence of prime ministers, while Yang Zaisi only manages the affairs of the province and has not yet added any political affairs.

"Cui Xianggong is honest and strong, but Yang Shilang can join the crowd."

Hearing Zhang said such an introduction, Li Tong couldn't help being amused.Although he is not familiar with Cui Yuanzong, he has also heard that he was replaced by Qiu Guan of the Ministry of Punishment as Luantai's servant. On the surface, he looks kind and honest, but he is actually a ruthless guy.

But Li Tong found it funny or something else, that is, Cui Yuanzong, like his grandma, is an old cow eating tender grass, and a pear tree pressing crabapple.This guy is nearly sixty years old, but he is the cousin-in-law of Wei Anshi, an old member of his family. His father-in-law still lives in Luxinfang, where King Li Tong's residence is located, so he is considered a neighbor.

Zhang said that when he saw the young king laughing, he couldn't help being happy, and said: "It's a pity to talk about it with Wei Yun. It's a pity that it's a pity to marry the old man. It's a mistake. Regrets are hard to make up for." , I didn’t dare to come out to meet your lord before, and it’s really hard to see the truth.”

Hearing what Zhang said, Li Tong was a little straight-eyed.He was also thinking about whether he should write Yishu Lihua to Cui Yuanzong and praise him for being strong and healthy after getting acquainted, but he didn't expect that such a favor would involve him.

I just hope that Wei Anshi won't talk about this all over the place, otherwise he will become a rival in love with his immediate boss, and it will be really uncomfortable for him to wear a pair of small shoes.After all, he also has a bottom line in life, you can't give me small shoes, and I will give you small hats.

As for Yang Zaisi, needless to say, even though Li Tong had given him a hard time when he was in Lintai earlier, this guy should be very knowledgeable and won't forget about it.

In addition, the structure of the official staff of Luantai is given to Shizhong, and below that there are officials such as recording affairs, chief affairs, order history, and book order history.This is the main personnel structure of Luantai. As for other casual riders, admonishing doctors, mending the palace, picking up relics, etc., these are all added members.Chengmenlang, Fu Baolang, the scholars of Hongwenguan, and Xiaoshulang are subordinate members.

After listening to this, Li Tong felt elated. I was finally an official cadre, no longer a co-officer or Mrs. Ru!

However, what Zhang said next made him unhappy again: "At present, in Luantai, there are ten people who have added staff to the matter, and six of them are divided into six departments and one hundred divisions. Save trouble. The position of Mr. Lang is still to be determined by the official."

"so much?"

Li Tong was a little dumbfounded when he heard the words. He remembered that "Tong Dian" was given to the four members of the event in Luantai, and he cared about Mei in his heart, but he forgot that this was his grandma's Wu Zhou.And from this point of view, it turned out that there were as many as ten members in the matter, and he was still added.

Depressed in my heart, needless to say, Li Tong has already gritted his teeth secretly, no matter what, Lao Tzu traded Wang Jue for one to Shi Zhong, who is a regular member, and he must pass the sentence and care about everything!If you can't, just be the servant of Luantai!

While speaking, there was another commotion outside the door. This is the retreat of all the officials and the return of the prime minister.

Chapter 0328

The prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty were quite majestic. For example, when they entered and exited the government office, they were greeted with drums.It can be seen that it is not ordinary people who can have BGM. This principle has existed since ancient times.

When Li Tong and Zhang Shuo walked out of the side hall, they saw that all the officials had lined up neatly, welcoming the prime minister respectfully one by one.Coupled with the slightly solemn sound of the tom drum, this scene is also very majestic.

However, considering the political atmosphere of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, Li Tong felt a sense of tragedy for whom the bell tolled when he heard the drumbeat.

He was still wandering his mind here, and Yang Zaisi's inquiry sounded from the gate of the official office in front of the crowd: "Has the respondent entered the province?"

Every day in Luantai, many people come here to receive orders, but today there is naturally only one person who can make Yang Zaisi, the chief, so caring and ask questions before he even has time to enter the yamen.Therefore, after hearing this question, everyone involuntarily turned their heads to look at where Li Tong was standing.

Li Tong met everyone's eyes and walked forward quickly, waiting to raise his hand in salute. Yang Zaisi had already stepped forward to hold his arm, and said with a friendly smile: "There are many government houses in the imperial city. When I entered the court before, I was worried that the king could not Straight into the province. It’s really a joy to see beautiful materials here when I return.”

While speaking, he also nodded to Zhang Shuo, with a hint of approval in his expression, as if Zhang said that he had done something great to bring the young king here.

Yang Zaisi's demeanor was so coquettish that many officials around Luantai turned their heads to one side, not wanting to see such an ugly gesture.Even Li Tong felt that this guy was too deliberate, but he had to say that this familiar smell warmed his heart, and he felt that Yang Zaisi was a pretty good person.

During the Wu Zhou Dynasty, the Zhengshitang could be said to be the Shura field, and it was rare for people who could start well and end well, and Yang Zaisi was one of them.Although he didn't have any temper, he was free from disasters and dangers. He was not only a prince, but was also buried in Qianling in the end.

It is recorded in "New Book of Tang" that someone once asked him that his status was already so noble, why bother to humiliate himself like this?He replied that the world is difficult, and those who are upright will suffer first. If you don't do this, how can you protect yourself.

It can be seen that this person is not stupid, flattery and flattery are just a means to protect himself.Although the sense of morality is not strong, but looking at his life, he has not harmed anyone. The so-called mediocre ministers are just like this.

"I entered the province as an assistant in a lowly position, and I dare not be a servant of Yang Shilang. I have met Cui Xianggong, and I have met Yang Shilang."

After all, Li Tong came to Luantai to do things, so he didn't show any genealogy of the three generations of emperors, and he was still dignified.
