Looking at the map of Lishan Palace again, Zhang Yang whispered: "And this Lishan Palace has not been renovated for a long time. It will leak when it rains."
The eunuch forced a smile and said, "It was just repaired during the Wude period."
Zhang Yang shook his head, "Did it be repaired during the Wude years? How many years has it been? No! This Lishan Palace must be renamed. It must be changed to Princess Lishan Palace."
The eunuch nodded and wrote down, "I will report this to Your Majesty."
"What do you need to report?" Zhang Yang stepped on his feet and waited, "Do you think I am powerless and easy to bully?"
"No, no, I don't think it means that." The old eunuch said and backed away.
"Have you seen His Majesty King Wei? If you dare to bully our family because we are powerless, I will ask King Wei to go to His Majesty every day and say bad things about you."
"..."
Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and said, "Let's talk about Lishan's decoration. The wood and stone required for Lishan's decoration must be prepared for me. As for the decoration, I can do it myself."
"Old slave, I took note of it."
Zhang Yang cleared his throat, "And..."
"Any more?"
The old eunuch's voice was trembling.
"And I have to move the fields."
"Old slave, I took note of it."
"That's all for now. When I think of something, I'll ask someone to send a message to the palace."
After finally saying these harsh conditions, the old eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I will resign first."
Zhang Yang handed over the land deed and map to his wife.
Li Yue brought it back to the house with a satisfied smile.
Li Tai is also in a good mood. With the support of the DPRK and China, Lishan's business can take advantage of the wind and become bigger and stronger.
Li Xiaogong looked left and right, then frowned and sat down.
"Why is Prince Hejian looking at me like this?" Zhang Yang was packing up the case files. He had been busy with these things for the past two days. The couple was very concerned about the construction of their new home. Aunt Wang had already gone to the Lishan Palace to clean up. It will take some time to move in, and this house must be preserved and people will come back to live there from time to time.
My daughter-in-law has special thoughts about this house.
Li Xiaogong scratched the hubby on his chin, "I can't figure it out no matter how hard I think about it."
"Is there something I can't figure out?"
Li Xiaogong asked suspiciously: "What did your kid grow up eating?"
Zhang Yang smiled, "Of course I eat whole grains."
Li Xiaogong asked again: "You can accomplish such a big thing at such a young age. What changed you?"
It was a difficult question to answer. Zhang Yang was tidying up his home and did not answer it.
Li Yue personally cooked a sumptuous dinner. Except that there was too much salt on the fish, the beef in sauce was cut into too large pieces, and there were some burnt spots on the surface of the ribs, the rest was fine, at least it could be swallowed. Go down.
It no longer matters whether the meal is delicious or not. Li Tai is looking forward to the days of getting rich in the future, while Li Xiaogong is still doubting life.
After dinner, Zhang Yang gave Li Tai and Li Xiaogong a large piece of soy beef each and sent them away.
Xiao Wu quietly cleaned up the dishes and poured some leftover food into the bear's bowl. It ate happily.
Li Yue was packing an official uniform. She would admire it every time she cut off the threads of the official uniform. "My husband will look even more handsome in this official uniform."
The red round-neck official robe looks very festive.
As for the official hat, Li Yue has wiped it several times.
The next day was the day when the new official took office. Li Yue got up before dawn and made breakfast. She prepared the official uniform and official hat. In addition to her career efforts, she also had the ambition to become a good wife.
A huge drawing is hung on the wall. This drawing has not yet been completed. The couple's idea is to build a large yard. The house must be large and elegant.
The Lishan Palace is so big that the couple can make extensive renovations.
"Xiao Wu is still asleep. My husband will have breakfast first."
Zhang Yang drank the porridge from the bowl. The porridge was still as thick as ever. The porridge was filled with the spareribs that were still in the pot last night. It tasted good after sprinkling some salt.
I haven't been to court for a long time, and I have almost forgotten the rules of going to court.
After breakfast, Li Yue diligently helped put on the official uniform, "Husband, don't forget this silverbait bag."
Zhang Yang nodded sleepily, wondering if he could still doze off during the morning.
Li Yue packed another food box and a baggage. The food box contained homemade soy sauce beef, and the package contained cotton cloth newly made in the factory.
Xiao Wu also got up. She hurriedly washed up, drank a bowl of porridge, and walked out the door together.
Before leaving, Li Yue told her aunt: "Prepare some things and plan to visit grandma when you come back."
Aunt Yang responded: "Let's go take care of it now."
Just when the palace gate was just opened in the morning, the family walked out towards the palace gate. Zhang Yang noticed that her eyes would look at the silverbait bag from time to time. This silverbait bag is the symbol of officials above the fifth rank. Goldfish bag.
It is a bit difficult to get the goldfish bag. This can only be achieved by someone like Fang Xuanling and Sun Wuji.
After entering the palace gate, we first went to the Li Zheng Hall.
The queen got up very early, and Li Shimin was in the Li Zheng Hall.
The family walked into the palace and first saluted the Queen and Her Majesty. Li Lizhi and a group of young princesses and princes were still asleep in the palace.
Li Shimin put on his clothes for going to court, stood up and said, "That's it."
Li Lizhi also woke up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and held Li Yue's arm with one hand, "Sister Huang hasn't come to see me for some days."
Li Yue stroked her messy bun and said, "Sister Huang has been busy with other things these past two days."
Seeing Li Shimin walking out of the Zhengdian Hall, Zhang Yang followed suit.
"I heard that you also want to renovate the Lishan Palace?"
"I think the Lishan Palace has been in disrepair for a long time, and the regulations need to be changed."
"Can you build such a big palace by yourself? Do you need me to assign people to you?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Zhang Yang followed, "I can take my time by myself. There is no rush. It is still in the design stage."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "I have discussed the matter of the Western Regions with Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling. The Ministry of Rites is still responsible for the management of the Western Regions. I will also send someone to ask Ashinadur to withdraw."
Zhang Yang replied: "Let them set off all the way. They should be halfway through the journey now. It is not appropriate for them to turn back."
Li Shimin said in a low voice: "What are your thoughts?"
"Let them march into the Western Region and help us capture the four towns of Anxi. Since Ashinadur can obey His Majesty's orders, we might as well take advantage of it."
"In the future, the Ministry of Rites will draft regulations for these matters and hand them over to the Ministry of Education."
"Understood, Your Majesty, rest assured that I will try my best to assist the government and make our Tang Dynasty more prosperous, bigger and stronger."
Walking through the alleys in the palace, the sky was not completely bright at the moment, and the palace seemed dim. There were two teams of eunuchs holding lanterns to protect them.
Li Shimin whispered: "You are doing it for your family business."
Zhang Yang put his hands in his hands, "It's not just for my family business, these are all complementary to each other."
Arriving in front of the Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin stopped and said, "I still need to prepare some things. You go to the Tai Chi Hall first."
"Here."
Zhang Yang watched Li Shimin walk into the Ganlu Hall, and walked all the way towards the Tai Chi Hall with his hands in his hands. He was thinking that because of the incident in Gaochang, Li Shimin had taken out the trump card of Ashinadur. What tricks did this conceited and suspicious emperor still have left? , it is said that there are still many soldiers and horses hidden around Chang'an City.
Walking all the way to Tai Chi Hall, there are many officials standing in the hall at this moment.
Xu Jingzong, Zhang Xiangxiang, Zhang Dashu and Li Baiyao were all waiting outside the palace.
This is the current team of the Ministry of Rites.
Xu Jingzong led others to salute, "Zhang Shangshu."
Zhang Yang also returned the greeting, "Shilang Xu, can we not deal with these nonsense? We still have a lot of things to be busy with."
Xu Jingzong glanced at Li Baiyao, "Baiyao, how many times have I told you to clean up your official uniform before meeting Zhang Shangshu. Look at how dirty your official uniform is."
Li Baiyao looked at his official uniform and said, "It has been washed and faded."
The welfare of the Ministry of Rites is not good. Logically speaking, in terms of official welfare, except for giving some things to the court during the New Year and holidays, it seems to be meager in terms of humanistic care and salary.
"It doesn't matter, our etiquette department still has a lot of things to do this time."
He walked into the Taiji Hall with the team of the Ministry of Rites. There were four ministers and one minister, which was relatively small among the six departments.
Among them, the Shu Province is the largest, with Zhong Shu Ling, the Attendant, and a dozen other people occupying the positions of nearly 20 people in the court.
In addition to the military generals in the court, there were also secretaries, supervisors, many officials, and people from the Yushitai.
When everyone stood in their positions, Zhang Yang led his etiquette team to the last row of the six departments.
The Ministry of Rites is still at the bottom.
Following the eunuch's loud shout, Li Shimin also walked into the Tai Chi Hall.
When the emperor sat down, all the officials bowed and saluted.
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "I have always advocated diligence and frugality. Recently, I heard that some people in the clan are extravagant and extravagant. How do you explain it?"
Very good, the emperor went to court and spoke straight to the point, without so many situations.
As the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, Li Xiaogong stood in court and said, "Return to Your Majesty, I will leave the clan investigation to Your Majesty's disposal."
Li Shimin nodded, "It's busy farming now, how is the reclamation of the fields going?"
The Minister of Household Affairs stepped forward to report the situation.
This kind of morning court between the emperor and his ministers is a hypnotic process. It has been a long time since he slept standing up. Zhang Yang supported his groggy head. This kind of morning court can make people feel sleepy the most.
In addition, the minister's position is at the forefront of court affairs, so it is quite difficult to be lazy and sleep.
After all, his willpower failed to overcome his sleepiness. Zhang Yang felt that the sounds in his ears were getting blurry, and he lowered his head and closed his eyes, feeling drowsy.
Feeling a push on his back, Zhang Yang cheered up, stood upright again, and saw Li Shimin looking at him.
"I wonder what Zhang Shangshu thinks is best for dealing with Gaochang?"
Hearing Li Shimin's question, Zhang Yang cheered and stood up, "I believe that Gaochang affairs should be left to their own devices as much as possible."
"Does Zhang Shangshu mean to ignore it?"
Discordant sounds soon came from the court. Zhang Yang looked back and didn't know who said this.
Looking at Li Shimin's expression again, he looked back and continued to preach: "It's not that we ignore it. Gaochang is located in a remote area and is a borderland in the northwest. Whether it is customs or rules, there are local ways of doing it. The Ministry of Rites will send officials to guide and change them. For the sake of the overall plan, the court should not just think about controlling Gaochang, I think he should give full play to his value in the Western Regions."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Does the Ministry of Rites have specific regulations now?"
"We can't say it yet, nor can we make a decision too early. The Ministry of Rites will make it clear after it drafts the regulations."
Seeing Li Shimin nodded, Zhang Yang returned to his seat.
In the morning, there was another discussion about land ownership and official promotions this year, especially the opening of official schools. The Zhongshu Ministry kept asking about the progress of the official department, and Yang Shidao kept explaining.
There has been considerable resistance to this matter.
Zhang Yang fell into a drowsy state again, until he heard Xu Jingzong's soft call, and then he came to his senses that it was time to retreat from the court.
Military generals and officials were leaving the court together in twos and threes.
Zhang Yang saw Qin Qiong and walked forward with a smile: "The general is in good health recently."
Qin Qiong said as he walked: "It's good. I can sleep comfortably every day now because of your treatment method. I have benefited a lot from quitting drinking."
Zhang Yang whispered, "General Lao was responsible for transporting cotton before. From now on, we will have our own transport team."
Qin Qiong nodded, "It's okay. You have to be cautious when you have just been promoted to Minister of Rites. I left the position of Minister of Rites because of the Turkic incident. Don't make this mistake again now."
"Don't worry, General, I will be careful."
What a joke, the emperor is with me now. The more I earn, the more taxes the emperor will pay. Li Shimin is short of money now, and he will do his best to support Lishan's business to fill his treasury.
Saying goodbye to Qin Qiong, Zhang Yang walked into the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.
Xu Jingzong was directing the clerks here to clean the government office, "Clean them all for me! Zhang Shangshu is a person who loves to be clean!"
"Cough cough cough..."
Zhang Yang stood behind him and cleared his throat.
Xu Jingzong quickly turned around and saluted, "Zhang Shangshu, would you like some tea? The tea has been boiled and some pastries have been prepared."
Just as he was about to say something, Zhang Yang saw Li Xiaogong sitting in the upper seat. Shouldn't that be his position?
"The Prince of Hejian County still has to deal with clan affairs, so why did he come to the Ministry of Rites?"
"Things in the clan are difficult. Do you think His Majesty wants to punish him? When has His Majesty not dealt with it lightly?" Li Xiaogong said nonchalantly.
Zhang Yang glanced at the people in the Ministry of Rites and said to Zhang Elephant: "Let all the cleaning officials go out, close the door and let's have a meeting."
"Here."
Zhang Daxiang arranged for people to go outside, and Xu Jingzong whispered: "It is what people want for Zhang Shangshu to return to the Ministry of Rites. It is true that a hero comes from a young age..."
"Shut up, if you talk like that again! I will let you go to the Western Regions to conquer the world for me."
Xu Jingzong immediately stopped talking.
After Zhang Xiangxiang closed the door and everyone sat down, Zhang Yang was about to speak when he looked at Li Xiaogong, who was sitting and picking his nose.
Li Xiaogong said displeasedly: "I was also the Minister of Rites back then."
Everyone: "..."
"Why, you still treat me as an outsider?"
