Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Fang Yuan approached Du Miaoyan, and put his arms around her waist.

"I, my father may leave soon, and the Du family will plummet, which will hardly help your career."

Du Miaoyan's face turned redder, but there was worry in her eyes.

Men put their career first, would Fang Yuan refuse to marry him because he didn't have any help?

"Are you worried about this?"

"Although I, Fang Yuan, have been helped by many nobles here, but my ability is not bad, right?"

Fang Yuan couldn't help being laughed angrily.

It is a good thing to have noble people to help, Fang Yuan is grateful.

But along the way, even if there is no noble person, Fang Yuan can go smoothly.

The 26-year-old Zhengwupin, as long as he doesn't make major mistakes, can survive to be an extremely human minister.

"Yeah, I think you are the best!"

Du Miaoyan immediately felt relieved.

The worries of many days can finally be let go.

Fang Yuan loves himself, not his background.

Thinking of this, Du Miaoyan felt very happy, she did not misunderstand the person.

"is it?"

"Then why don't we stamp it while there's no one around?"

Fang Yuan laughed.

His arms around Du Miaoyan were tighter, the distance between the two was closer, Fang Yuan's breath could hit her face.

At first, Du Miaoyan didn't understand what Fang Yuan said about stamping, but she understood when she looked at Fang Yuan's eyes, her heart beat faster, and there was vague expectation.

Seeing that Du Miaoyan did not resist, Fang Yuan smiled knowingly, and was preparing for the next move.

But at this moment, the sound of hurried sprinting came from the official road not far away, accompanied by the scolding of the driver.

The two looked over subconsciously, and saw a messenger cavalry rushing towards Chang'an City.

The imperial court is now at war with the East Turks, and it should be an emergency battle report from the East Turks.

The cavalry disappeared quickly, but it had already broken the atmosphere between Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan.

"There may be an emergency battle report."

"Should we go back to Chang'an City to hear what's going on?"

Du Miaoyan blushed and lowered her head, secretly cursing that the cavalryman appeared at the wrong time.

There was regret in his heart, but the next moment, Fang Yuan said:

"Don't be in a hurry, we'll go back after finishing the chapter."

Chapter 201

When Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan returned to Chang'an City, there was no news of the battle report.

But when the two just returned to the county government office, the palace passed the good news to the government office.

Good news: The East Turkic War was victorious, and the army captured Jieli Khan alive.

"Win!"

Du Miaoyan shouted excitedly.

The battle between Tang and East Turks finally came to fruition.

For more than half a year, the senior leaders of Datang were worried about the war situation in the north.

It has a great influence, is related to the future of Datang, and is closely related to the interests of everyone in Datang.

"Fang Ling, His Majesty asked you to promote the victory of the war."

The eunuch in the palace confessed.

The war is won, and the imperial court will make a big publicity.

In addition to the emperor's imperial decree will be spread to all parts of the Tang Dynasty, county magistrates in various places will also focus on publicity.

Fang Yuan is the order of Chang'an, the official of the parents of the people in Chang'an County, he needs to publicize it with the imperial court, the bigger the scale of the publicity, the better.

So Fang Yuan ordered Zheng Mingzhu and others to write the news of Datang's victory on the billboards of each workshop, so that all the people can know.

Under the propaganda of the imperial court and Chang'an County, the people in Chang'an City soon knew the situation, and the whole city was boiling with excitement, singing and dancing.

"Win!"

"Our Datang has won!"

"Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live Your Majesty!"

The Great Tang won, and the people's sense of belonging to the Great Tang was stronger, and they loved the current emperor Li Shimin even more, and Li Shimin's prestige was even higher.

In the afternoon, Fang Yuan received an invitation from the palace to have a palace dinner tonight.

In the evening, Fang Yuan entered the palace with an invitation letter, and after entering Chengtian Gate, he was led by soldiers to the Imperial Study Room.

There is only Li Shimin in the imperial study room, he is standing with armrests, his back is facing Fang Yuan, and there is a big map in front of him.

It is more than two or three times bigger than the map that Fang Yuan showed Ju Zi and Zhou Shi in the county government office.

"Chen Fang Yuan, pay homage to His Majesty."

Fang Yuan glanced at the magnificent map, and saluted respectfully.

This map not only covers all the places in the Tang Dynasty, but also includes the Eastern and Western Turks, Xue Yantuo, Tuyuhun and other countries.

"Fang Yuan, you are here!"

"Come on, take a look at the territory of our Great Tang!"

Li Shimin turned his head and waved to Fang Yuan excitedly.

The Tang Dynasty won a great victory, and the Eastern Turks were destroyed. From then on, the territory of the Eastern Turks belonged to the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at the huge map, Li Shimin was very excited, and secretly sighed that he was a great Tang Mingjun who opened up the territory.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for opening up the territory and becoming the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty to open up the territory for the country, and to set an example for future generations."

Fang Yuan was not stingy about flattering.

The battle of Tang destroying the Eastern Turks established the power of Tang Dynasty.

Datang has since become the overlord of Asia, and Li Shimin is also honored as Tian Khan.

"Set up an example for future generations?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Fang Yuan, you are right!"

Li Shimin murmured, and then said even more excitedly.

Because of his unfair position, Li Shimin always thinks about improving his reputation.

Now, the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks, and he himself became the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty to open up territories, setting an example for future generations.

Then when future generations discuss their merits, they will not only focus on the problem of their own injustice, but also make great contributions, and even cover up the injustice of their superiors.

Fang Yuan smiled modestly, he didn't continue to flatter Li Shimin, so as not to go too far.

"In your opinion, how do I plan this large territory?"

"Is it the same as the current division of provinces, states and counties, or is it directly designated as the Governor's Mansion?"

Li Shimin was still very excited.

He walked to the side and pulled out his Son of Heaven sword, pointing to the territory of East Turkic and said.

"The Protectorate."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

Although the territory of East Turkic was taken, the people of Eastern Turkic were not completely taken.

In terms of the toughness of the nomads, the imperial court needed to set up a Protectorate to suppress those places with a strong force.

"I thought so too."

Li Shimin slowly returned to normal, nodding his head heavily.

But in fact, he also has a worry in his heart, that is, the power of the Duhufu is too great, and it has military and political power in one body.

He was not worried in the Tang Dynasty, but the Eastern Turkic territory was too far away from the central government, so he had to worry about being out of reach when setting up the Protectorate there.

"But I also have a worry, and that is the excessive power of the Protectorate."

"If His Majesty is alive and the court is strong, then no matter how much the power of the Protectorate is too great, it will not be a problem."

"But after a hundred years from His Majesty, after several generations of descendants of the Tang Dynasty, the excessive power of the Duhufu may cause the separation of the princes."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

It was very wise to set up the Duhufu in the early Tang Dynasty, which facilitated governance.

But with the appearance of Jiedushi in the later period, the Duhufu almost became a prince, and he didn't even listen to the central government's orders.

"You think so too?"

"Is there a solution?"

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, and then asked slightly.

It's rare, Fang Yuan is actually in the same direction as he thought.

"Power distribution!"

"The Protectorate's Mansion is divided into three, with military power, administration, and judiciary separated."

Fang Yuan thought for a while, and made an opinion according to his own ideas.

"Power distribution!"

Li Shimin nodded.

Understand what Fang Yuan said, and feel it is necessary.

If power is too concentrated, it will easily lead to monopoly and eventually become corrupt.

Li Shimin still wanted to have an in-depth discussion with Fang Yuan, but at this time the eunuch Wang De came in to report.

"Your Majesty, the banquet is ready, it's just you and Fang Ling."

Wang Degong said.

He also nodded to Fang Yuan.

At the banquet, the royal relatives and ministers all arrived.

It's understandable that the emperor hasn't been there yet, but Fang Yuan wasn't there either, and he was with the emperor again, which shows how much the emperor attaches importance to Fang Yuan.

As the eunuch next to the emperor, Wang De naturally understood the situation.

"Well...then let's go drink first, and then talk about this topic when we find time."

Li Shimin nodded slowly, inviting Fang Yuan to go with him.

Fang Yuan followed, not long after, followed Li Shimin to the banquet place.

After arriving at the palace, Fang Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

It's not how luxurious the court banquet is, but that the people who come are all heavyweights.

The emperor, empress, prince, prince, princess, prince, heads of three provinces and six ministries, etc.

Taking a quick look, Fang Yuan found that among the crowd, his rank was the lowest, which undoubtedly surprised him.

Not only was he surprised, but the eyes of everyone looking at Fang Yuan were also very surprised, and some of them showed jealousy.

It would be a strange thing not to be jealous that a small official fifth-rank Chang'an order came with His Majesty and made them wait for a long time.

Among them, Du Ruhui did not come in person because of his physical impairment, and the eldest son Du He attended the banquet instead.
