In the Zhenguan Hall, yellow curtains are everywhere, but the breeze blows gently and the faint fragrance floats.
"The Governor of Hongzhou, Yan Boyu, is reporting that the drought in Hongzhou in early summer this year has been resolved. I wish to express my gratitude to the Prince of Nanchang!"
After a short pause, Wang Fu glanced at Li Zhi who was leaning on the soft couch. Seeing a chuckle on his face, he continued to read: "The king of Nanchang worked tirelessly for ten months, traveling to several states, praying sincerely for rain. Finally, God was moved by the rain, and all the states in Hongzhou benefited from it. Governor Yan hopes that His Majesty will issue a decree to commend him."
Wang Fulai's voice stopped completely. At this moment, Li Zhi let out a burst of laughter: "This Yan Boyu is really a slippery man. He is not asking for credit for the King of Nanchang. He is obviously asking for credit for himself. Gong, forget it, record the merit, and one of his sons will be named Yunqiwei."
Yunqi Wei, Wu Sanguan, seventh rank.
"Here!" After Wang Fulai finished reading, he changed another memorial and continued reading: "Deng Jiuguang, the governor of Dengzhou, reported that the King of Silla sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute and apologize. I wonder if your majesty will allow it?"
"It seems that the battle in the Seventh Layer City gave the King of Silla a painful beating, and he is finally willing to bear the thorn and plead guilty!" Li Zhi sneered with great disdain, but then his face became serious.
In February of this year, Liu Rengui, the general manager of Jilin Road, led his army to defeat the Silla army in Qichongcheng. He also sent his army to attack the southern border of Silla and captured a lot of people.
"What's the opinion of the Ministry of Education?" Li Zhi crossed his arms and looked straight ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wang Fulai closed the memorial, took a slight step forward, and reported in a deep voice: "Hu Wenbin, the governor of Dengzhou, has submitted a memorial to Zhongshu Province. Prime Minister Hao's intention is to accept the apology of the King of Silla, because our government's focus is not on Silla now. After King Luo pleads guilty, he can draw troops from Dongdao."
"Draw the troops?" Li Zhi sneered and said unceremoniously: "The people of Silla are afraid of power but not moral. If I withdraw our troops today, they will attack in a big way tomorrow... But this may not be an opportunity. In this way, Zhongshu Sheng was first asked to start preparing for the withdrawal of troops. At the same time, the Andong Governor Li Jinxing was ordered to station troops on alert. There will be a battle soon, and there will be a battle. After the battle, the outcome will be determined. Jin Renwen was ordered to suspend Yangzhou. Let’s first see what Silla’s apology envoy said.”
Jin Inwen was the younger brother of King Wenmu of Silla and was loyal to the Tang Dynasty.
Xue Rengui once wrote a memorial in the past: "The elder brother is the rebel leader, and the younger brother is the loyal minister."
Therefore, Jin Inwen was granted the title of Linhai County Duke in the Tang Dynasty, with a settlement of 2,000 households. After the First Battle in February, Jin Inwen was granted the title of the new king of Silla, with the intention of sending him back to the country to completely replace King Wenwu of Silla. Finally, Silla was completely pacified.
However, at this moment, the prince died of illness, causing turmoil in the world. In addition, King Wenwu of Silla came to plead guilty, and the attitude between the government and the opposition has changed.
"Here!" Wang Fulai bowed slightly, and then changed another memorial: "Shuozhou Governor reports that the transfer of General Xue to Daizhou has been announced. The capital of Ashina Clay Master, the leader of the Turkic tribe in Xiang, suddenly A bad disease, a serious illness.”
"Rong Yi!" Li Zhi sneered disdainfully, waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's talk about Tubo..."
Before Li Zhi finished speaking, a young eunuch hurriedly walked out of the palace.
The little eunuch stopped three steps from the palace door, calmed his breathing, and then held a blue-covered memorial in both hands. The little eunuch reported at the same time: "Your Majesty, Zhang Wenguan, the minister of Dali Temple, has something to report!"...
Li Zhi glanced at Wang Fulai in surprise. Wang Fulai immediately bowed and walked over to pick up the memorial. Then he turned around and walked to Li Zhi's side and handed the memorial to the table. Li Zhi reached out and opened the memorial while reading. , while pressing his hands on his temples, he pulled the corners of his eyes slightly.
"Huh?" Li Zhi suddenly made a sound of surprise, staring at the memorial in his hand and frowning. Wang Fulai on the side quickly waved his hand to ask the young eunuch to leave. As soon as he came back, he heard Li Zhi slap the eunuch with a heavy palm. He stood on the table and shouted in a cold voice: "What's going on with Qiu Shenji recently? Why can't he handle even the smallest things now?"
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Wang Fulai took a pot of warm tea from one side and poured a cup into the white porcelain tea bowl in front of Li Zhi.
The light yellow tea soup is clear and translucent, which seems different from the boiled tea that people often drank at that time.
Li Zhi glanced at the tea soup, took a long breath, drank the warm tea in one gulp, and then
Cai Lengran said: "He is just a remnant of the religious bandits. Qiu Shenji and Ming Chongyan have made a mess now. I should not have entrusted this matter to him in the first place."
Li Zhi lowered his head and his eyes fell on the memorial. What was written on it was the memorial sent by Xu Yu, the young minister of Dali Temple, from Chang'an. Dali Temple and Chang'an County discovered Zhuang Zhuang in the culvert of Pingkangfang, Chang'an. The body of Shi Yangtai, the palace chief.
Shi Yangtai, the head of Prince Zhuang's palace, died in Chang'an ten days ago.
So who is the person who has been accompanying King Zhuang all these days? It is naturally the Thousand-Faced Buddha of Tianyin Sect.
Li Zhi knew this very well, but before they did not interfere at all and allowed them to do what they did. But now that he saw this memorial, Li Zhi couldn't help but get angry.
I don't know how much time has passed since Yang Tai's body was discovered in Chang'an until the official submission from Dali Temple, but Qiu Shenji has not been able to handle the matter properly.
Now that the official documents from Dali Temple arrive, everything will be made public immediately. I don’t know how many smart people can think of the existence of the Thousand-Faced Buddha.
Li Zhi never thought that he would be troubled by such a small person and such a trivial matter.
"Left Qianniu Guard General Li Jingxing... No, order Dali Temple Minister Zhang Wenguan to deal with this matter as soon as possible and find the murderer." Li Zhi suddenly changed his original order. He looked at the memorial in front of him and suppressed his anger. , said with a sinking face: "Instruct the Qianniu Guards and the Jinwu Guards to tighten the palace restrictions. I don't want to be touched by someone without knowing it."
The most powerful force in the entire Tang Dynasty gathered in the palace. As long as Li Zhi waved his hand, countless people immediately took action to pull out the Thousand-Faced Buddha. However, the matter would become a big deal and the movement would be too great. The subsequent impact is also immeasurable.
Li Zhi's face showed contemplation, and his eyes subconsciously turned to the other side, falling on a memorial, with a smug smile on his lips.
"According to my decree, Li Xuan, the prince of Nanchang County, is loyal to the state affairs, observes strictly, is upright, and has a pure character. I will promote him to the general council officer and the inspection officer Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang General." At this point, Li Zhi paused for a moment and said coldly. He said, "Let him and Qiu Shenji cooperate with Dali Temple in investigating counter-cases. If any are discovered, they can be killed first and reported later."
"Here!" Wang Fulai stood respectfully on one side. Behind him, among the yellow curtains, there was already a Hanlin editor writing quickly. ….
"It is my decree that Lang Zhaogong has made great contributions in offering good medicine, and he should be promoted to Chaosan doctor!" Li Zhi then issued a new decree, and at the same time said: "Tell Zhang Qing that the absence of the young minister of Dali Temple has made him Recommend capable candidates quickly to avoid delaying state affairs!"
In the Tang Dynasty, Dali Temple had one Qing, from the third rank, and two Shaoqing, from the fourth rank.
The death of Dai Xing, the young minister of Dali Temple, left a vacancy for the young minister of Dali Temple. There is a complete set of procedures for the officials to choose the prime minister of the DPRK.
Of course, the emperor can also appoint directly. Now Li Zhi has given this right to Zhang Wenguan, which is full of meaning.
"Here!" Wang Fulai solemnly promised again, and the sound of edicts being written continued behind him.
"Instruct the Crown Princess...and King Yong to fully cooperate with the inspection of Dali Temple." Li Zhi then issued another order.
"Here!" Wang Fulai finally showed a look of surprise on his face, and his expression became more solemn.
Li Zhi waved to Wang Fulai and said: "Go on, Tubo has been shrinking its border troops in the past few days. It seems that Lun Qinling is about to shrink his fists. I want to see how he fights!"
Today in February, Tubo Prime Minister Lun Qinling sent his minister Lun Tuhunmi to ask for peace and to restore good relations with Tuyuhun. Li Zhi refused.
"Dafeichuan!" Li Zhi pushed the memorial in front of him, and a map appeared underneath.
A detailed map, a detailed map of Dafeichuan.
It's not that Li Zhi hasn't experienced military defeats in recent years, it's just that like Dafeichuan, even he felt a burst of physical pain.
How could Li Zhi forget such a deep hatred? It would be strange not to go back with all his strength for revenge.
Suddenly, there were bursts of stinging pain on his forehead, and Li Zhi immediately grinned in pain. Wang Fulai quickly stepped forward and poured out a pill from nowhere, and served Li Zhi to take it. Li Zhi's expression changed.
Relieved a little, he said softly: "Is Yang Taisu still studying his set of things?"
"Yes." Wang Fulai lowered his voice deliberately: "Yang Weng has benefited from that, not to mention, the letter from Longhu Mountain Pass brought by the King of Nanchang also said so..."
