Li Shimin silently praised Cheng Zhidian in his heart and said affectionately: "Assistant machine, I can understand your mood. Gao Gong suddenly left, and I am also inexplicably sad. I am not a disciple, a monarch, but also an old relative. The public morality is profound and the wind is noble. Far away, there is a high corridor temple, where people look up to the virtuous people. When he is in Quanheng, Mu Jiuliu is well-known; when he is in Duanyou, he always has a lot of praise and is famous..."
"Your Majesty, please express your condolences. State affairs are the most important thing." When Fang Xuanling heard that Li Shimin had begun to recite the edict for Gao Shilian to be buried with him, he hurriedly bowed and warned him. You can't let Your Majesty carry it as a gift to Situ Envoy Chijie, the governor of Bing, Fen, Ji, and Lan, the military commanders of the four prefectures, and the prefects of Bingzhou, forty Ban Jian, and Yu Bao for advocacy, two thousand pieces of silk cloth, and two thousand stones of rice and millet. . He was buried with Zhaoling, and was given the secret weapon of Dongyuan, and ordered to be under the guardianship of Qing Honglu.
"Your Majesty, please express your condolences. State affairs are the most important thing." Yang Shidao and others also came to their senses and echoed, Cheng Zhijie's voice was particularly loud.
Li Shimin raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of his eyes, and said in a more affectionate tone: "You don't know, I have known Auxiliary Machinery since we were young, and we were classmates together. Duke Gao had a unique eye and thought that I was very human. He knew that I was engaged to the Queen. , and insisted on sticking to the marriage contract against all opinions, so that I can conclude a century-old contract with the queen."
At that time, Aye's situation was not good. When his cousin was conquering Liaodong, there was a warlock from the Western Regions, Angatuo, who made a prophecy and said to the emperor: "There should be someone named Li who should be the emperor." He advised everyone in the country to have the surname of Li punished. By. If Yuwen Shushen hadn't assisted and sent Wu Benlang to report Pei Renji to Li Hun for treason, Aye first claimed to be ill and then indulged in alcohol and took bribes to hide his tracks. It's hard to say what the outcome would have been.
Not long after Ansheng was born, a nursery rhyme was sung from somewhere: peaches and plums, swans circling Yangshan, wandering in the flower forest. Mo Langyu, who said yes? As the prophecy that Li Hun was executed by his clan fell into silence, it was picked up again. As the Duke of Tang, Aye was once again put on the fire.
In the twelfth year of Daye, Li Mi, who participated in Yang Xuangan's rebellion, suddenly went to Wagang to break Jindi Pass after disappearing for two years, and set up an ambush at Dahai Temple in Xingyang to kill Zhang Xutuo. The following year, Xingluocang was captured, and the situation gradually became stronger, which made the cousin look away from Aye again.
Aye was subsequently appointed as the consolation ambassador to Hedong, Shanxi, the governor of Taiyuan, and the palace eunuch of Jinyang, laying the foundation for the Tang Dynasty... for hundreds of... thousands of generations.
In the days when people were slaves and fish, no matter what Gao Shilian's thoughts were at that time, if he was willing to let Guanyin marry him, he would be an immortal hero. Although my younger brother often makes mistakes, there is a saying that still makes sense: No one in the world is perfect when it comes to his deeds but not his heart.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wuliu's poem goes like this: After a millennium, there will be no more dynasties, and the virtuous will have nothing to do. What's the point of death? I will support my body in the same mountain." Cen Wenwen glanced at the silent bosses with the corner of his eyes, and crossed his hands in helpless salute. , persuaded. "The noble Duke never forgets the king's affairs even when he is seriously ill. Before his death, he revised his watch to urge your majesty to put state affairs first. I must not want to see you worrying and feeling unforgettable."
Although Gao Shilian has left, Changsun Wuji is still alive, and his sons have each received rewards. There is really no need to add insult to injury at this moment. Queen Wende is the best talisman of the Gao family and the eldest grandson family. Even if she adds insult to injury, the young men of the Gao family can be demoted... This possibility is not very high.
It won't be long before Changsun Wuji complains, and His Majesty will still reward him again. Besides, no matter whose head the vacant positions fall on, they will not have anything to do with the Cen family.
"Jingren, Mr. Wuliu is broad-minded. I also really want to spend a few days picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the Nanshan Mountain." Li Shimin pointed to the pile of memorials on the desk and sighed. "The documents are too laborious, the documents are laborious!"
Yang Shidao glanced at Changsun Diandian, who was still maintaining his defeated posture, and slightly shrank his neck: Actually, it would be good for Yuzhi to go to Suiye City.
"Your Majesty, the project of dredging Taihu Lake really can't be delayed any longer." Li Daozong forced himself not to look at the trembling Changsun Wuji. He wanted to use filial piety to force His Majesty. He was kicked in the head by Sun Simiao, and it was the day he was hidden by Wei Guizang. Bitten by a black dog? Or maybe he was stopped by Princess Jinyang's snow... business was important, and he could continue to kneel if he wanted to. "You are worried about Gao Gong's condition, sad for his passing, and even more worried about her tragic appearance after her death. In addition, you have agreed on the posthumous title and posthumous title. This has been going on for more than a month..."
Seeing Li Shimin's face getting darker and darker, Li Daozong subconsciously took half a step back.
"I'm not saying that these things shouldn't be done, let alone that it's not the right time for Mr. Gao to leave. But the dredging of Taihu Lake really can't be postponed any longer! It will be the autumn harvest in more than a month, and nothing can delay the autumn harvest! But! When frost comes after the autumn harvest, digging canals will cost even twice as much labor and money!”
Seeing Li Shimin's face gradually turning ferocious, Li Daozong closed his eyes and turned aside, and said loudly: "Even if the labor and money can be afforded by the national treasury, if the dredging project cannot be completed before February next year, it will delay two crops of rice. Promotion and planting! Your Majesty, please show condolences and put state affairs first, otherwise what difference will there be between you and the previous Emperor Yangdi?!"
"Li Chengfan, you are rude!" Li Shimin clapped his hands on the desk, half propped himself up, and roared with a red face. "I lost my grand master. I feel like my arm was cut off, and my heart is broken. Your Ministry of Works cannot be the master of the dredging of Taihu Lake, nor can the Government Hall be the master of it?"
I haven’t acted for a long time, and I feel a bit rusty. In recent years, government affairs have been busy, and the entire state machine is running at a high speed. The implementation of government orders has been too smooth, and it has become a little drifting. I should warn you to be careful.
"Your Majesty, the Taihu Lake dredging project involves five states. It requires simultaneous construction in the five states of Su, Hu, Hang, Chang, and Run around Taihu Lake. Runzhou is across the river from Yangzhou. I dare not specialize in it." Fang Xuanling was calm. He took a step forward, crossed his arms in salute, and spoke in a calmer voice. "Xiao Sima once said that if this dredging is successful, Taihu Lake will be famous all over the world."
Of course, the entire project cannot be completed in a month or two. The main river channels need to be cleared first, and then spread out like branches. But the premise is that if the main river channel is not cleared, branches will not spread. No matter how accurate the survey is, there is no guarantee that there will be no unexpected situations. The large boxes of classics in his home are the best evidence.
It was impossible for Tang Fox to take out all the classics. He only took out a few representative books, the kind of books that people would know the source of at a glance. Most of those classics are bamboo slips, and anyone who has read them will understand the difference between the weight of bamboo slips and the weight of cloth and paper.
"Taihu Lake is familiar enough with the world?" Li Shimin's anger melted instantly like ice and snow meeting boiling water.
Cheng Zhijie's eyes lit up...
