Unlike himself in history, Li Xian knows very well that compared to the normal historical progress, he has changed a lot at this stage.
For example, his relationship with the Queen was not so tense, and it was not to the extent of being scolded by her. Although the queen is not qualified to tell the prince, the problem is that the queen is not an ordinary queen.
The coming of the Second Saint is not as simple as just talking. Fortunately, Li Zhi's body can barely hold on now and he has the power. Unlike in film and television works, the queen can participate in the government affairs at will. As a queen, she has always been the object of courtiers' wariness. Perhaps when the emperor is in poor health, she can temporarily replace him, but when the emperor is in good health, she can only let go. Power, dare not show too much desire.
It can be said that Li Hong's death was unexpected by everyone. I am afraid that more than one minister was looking forward to Li Hong taking over the power smoothly and not giving the Queen the opportunity to take advantage of it. However, things are unpredictable. Just when everyone thought Li Hong was ready, Li Hong died...
Li Xian knew very well that the better he performed now, the more he might be feared by the queen. However, if he did nothing, he would not be able to sit on the throne of the prince. It can be said that my current state is like taking out puppies from the mother dog's nest. I need to comfort the mother dog while taking them out.
The dog mother is naturally the queen, and the paparazzi is his own expression.
Shaking his head, Li Xian decided to put these thoughts aside for now.
It’s not that there must be a road to the mountain, but it’s just that these things are really not suitable to be thought about all over the world. Thinking too much may not be beneficial. Right now, I should take a nap first to prepare myself for the afternoon study...
When he woke up, he was covered in sweat. Compared with winter, Li Xian still hated summer. The heat of summer is more difficult for him than the cold of winter.
Just when she was about to change her clothes, she saw Shangguan Wan'er kneeling at the door, and there was a set of light yellow clothes on the ground.
Seeing that His Highness had seen this side, Shangguan Wan'er said: "Your Highness, these are the clothes and seals sent by Zongzheng Temple. The attendant Zhang Wenguan is waiting outside with the edict in hand. I heard that you are sleeping, so I specifically asked Wan'er to wait. I’ll tell you later when you wake up.”
Already slept.
With a wry smile, Li Xian had no choice but to change clothes quickly.
The prince's attire includes a far-traveling crown, three beams, gold and nine cicadas, beads and emeralds, a black turban, a rhinoceros hairpin, a silk gauze robe, a white gauze singlet, a soap collar, a jacket, and a lining. White skirt, square heart-shaped collar, crimson gauze covering the knees, leather belt, sword, pendant, ribbon, etc.
Of course, this is an introduction to clothing. It sounds complicated, but it is actually just the specifications of various places on a set of clothes.
Putting on the prince's clothes, Li Xian felt a smell of trenches pressing into his nose.
It's too bad. This is in the Tang Dynasty. If future generations wear clothes of this style and go out, they will definitely be laughed out of their faces.
After changing his clothes, he hurried out of the bedroom. This was him, and the minister who was delivering the order would not have waited.
The sunshine outside was still a bit bright, especially after he put on a new set of light yellow clothes. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Li Xian felt extremely hot as soon as he went out.
Zhang Wenguan was not waiting at the door of the bedroom, but in the study.
When he saw Li Xian, he stood up, saluted and said with a smile: "Oh my, Zongzheng Temple has finally done something serious. I didn't expect His Highness's clothes to be delivered so soon. Your Highness is already handsome. Now that you put on this prince's robe, it looks even more luxurious."
Li Xian smiled bitterly when he heard the old guy's praise. If someone else said this, it might be a sign of flattery. But if this guy says this, does it mean he is really good-looking?
Although a little secretly happy, Li Xian is still somewhat self-aware of his appearance. Although it is pretty good-looking, it is definitely not amazing, especially compared to Ming Chongyan, who is even more ordinary.
Nodding, Li Xian didn't return the favor this time. When he was still King Yong, returning gifts was considered a form of humility, but now that he has become the prince, he cannot return gifts casually. Even if Zhang Wenguan was a servant, he still couldn't bear it.
"Zhang Shizhong was joking. A person is judged by his clothes. If you think he is lonely and handsome, in the final analysis, it is the clothes that make him look handsome."
Zhang Wenguan smiled without saying a word, stood up, and picked up the bright yellow edict from the table.
Seeing the edict, Li Xian quickly ordered Li Yun to arrange the prepared incense table, and then knelt down to prepare to receive the edict.
Unlike ordinary imperial edicts, imperial edicts are regarded as the emperor's will. At certain times, even if they don't kneel down to accept them, it is acceptable. But edicts, especially edicts announcing to the world, are different. The edict represents the will of the emperor, and when it is involved with "Heaven", the level will naturally increase countless times, so kneeling at the incense table and worshiping it are indispensable.
Seeing that the ceremony was ready, Zhang Wenguan read: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has issued an edict: Since ancient times, emperors have succeeded to the throne and established the emperor to govern the Huan region. They must establish Yuan Chu and Mao Long as the capital of the country, so that the Mian Zongshe can rest without borders. I am here to read. Hongxu and Suye are cautious and cautious. I look up to my ancestor Mollie Zhaochui. The entrustment is the most important. I will carry it forward and celebrate it, and it will be in Yuanliang.
Today's legitimate son is virtuous, has a handsome appearance, and is naturally endowed with beautiful talents. He can be crown prince. On April 23rd of the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, he conferred the title of treasure on his legitimate son Xian. Established as Crown Prince. It is located in the East Palace, with a ten thousand-year-old system, and the heart of the four seas.
In accordance with the formal etiquette, I confer the title of Princess Fang of Xiyong Princess as the Crown Princess of the East Palace. The ceremony will be carried out. Submit to public opinion. I sincerely inform heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the country. "
After speaking, Zhang Wenguan solemnly handed the edict into Li Xian's hands. This is just the main text. Naturally, the rest of the edict cannot be used as a formal edict. It can only be converted into official documents and then sent to various places in the Tang Dynasty.
After receiving the edict, Li Xiancai got up and ordered Li Yun to get a luxurious box to seal the edict. After all, this is a kind of commemoration. Even if it is thrown away, it will be something later.
In addition, according to tradition, since Zhang Wenguan came here to deliver the message, the gift must not be less.
Seemingly seeing what Li Xian was thinking, Zhang Wenguan said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't use common etiquette on old ministers. The old minister came with the imperial edict and did not come here specifically to ask for gifts."
Li Xian smiled and said: "Zhang Shizhong, don't refuse. This is the custom. You don't have to refuse. Now that the edict has been read out, how about you start teaching me now?"
Zhang Wenguan smiled awkwardly, but could only agree.
Although he had accepted the emperor's order and had taught Prince Li Hong, what he should tell Prince Xian today really made him worried, and he still hasn't made up his mind until now.
In any case, the prince must be taught as soon as possible. If they want to cultivate a qualified heir in a short time, let alone the emperor, they will also have troubles.
There are three provinces, six ministries, twenty-four departments, one platform, nine temples and five prisons. The divisions involved cannot be summarized in a few words. Let alone, if you want to be a good emperor, you need to know more than just what these departments do. enough.
After seeing Zhang Wenguan agreeing, he fell into deep thought, and Li Xian did not disturb him. Now Zhang Wenguan is like a teacher candidate who has passed the trial teaching and returned to the classroom again. How to teach and where to start all need to be considered.
Let him think about it slowly. Anyway, there are only two of them left in the study, and then there is Li Yun who is waiting for dispatch. Even Shangguan Wan'er cannot appear in such an occasion, let alone Li Xian. So now, Li Xian and Yao Yuanchong are both receiving instruction from Xiao Jue in Chongwen Hall.
He reached out and touched the teapot. Without Li Xian opening his mouth, Li Yun came over, picked up the teapot, and tiptoed to prepare the tea. Li Xian, on the other hand, was sitting in his office chair, waiting for Zhang Wenguan to speak.
After a long time, Zhang Wenguan came to his senses and saw that His Highness the Crown Prince had already sat down. He couldn't help but smile awkwardly, walked behind his case, sat down, and said, "His Royal Highness, today we will first learn the structure of the court. "
"To put it simply, the court consists of three provinces, six ministries, twenty-four departments, one temple, nine temples and five prisons."
"You should be aware of the three provinces, which are the Zhongshu Province and the Shangshu Province. The Zhongshu Province drafts and issues the emperor's edicts. The Menxia Province reviews and approves the decrees. The Shangshu Province is the department that specifically implements the decrees."
"The six ministries are the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Punishment under the jurisdiction of the Shangshu Province. They respectively control the mobilization of soldiers, sacrificial rituals, official performance evaluation and promotion, national treasury and household registration, construction..."
....
Although he knew all this, when Zhang Wenguan talked about it, Li Xian still listened carefully and compared it with what he remembered.
After talking about the structure of the court, Li Yun also brought tea. Zhang Wenguan stopped, took a sip of tea, and then asked: "Your Highness, is there anything else you don't understand?"
Li Xian shook his head and said, "You spoke very carefully. I heard you clearly. Please continue."
After taking another sip of tea, Zhang Wenguan frowned, then took out a memorial from his arms, unfolded it, and asked Li Yun to deliver it.
Li Xian received the memorial, opened it and read it again.
The memorial is from the governor of Dingzhou. It tells that Dingzhou suffered a drought last year. Originally, the local government opened its warehouses and could barely sustain it for a year. However, this year's situation is still not good. It should be the season of continuous spring rains. Who knows? I know that not a drop of rain has fallen. Therefore, this year's famine is foreseeable. I hope that the imperial court will order Hengzhou to temporarily mobilize Hengzhou's government grain to relieve the urgent needs of Dingzhou.
Putting down the memorial, Li Xian looked at Zhang Wenguan doubtfully, wondering why he took out the memorial to show him.
Zhang Wenguan cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, this is the memorial from Dingzhou. Please look at the annotation below from Hao Chujun."
Li Xian nodded, opened the memorial, and read Hao Chujun's annotation above. Normally, such a "strong" governor should agree to the requests made by him.
However, to his surprise, Hao Chujun did not agree, but only allowed Hengzhou to reduce part of the relief grain, while the actual grain for disaster relief was mobilized from Hedong Road.
Putting down the memorial, Li Xian asked doubtfully: "Zhang Shizhong, the fastest way is to adjust grain in Hengzhou. Why did Hao Xiang reject the request of the governor of Dingzhou and instead transfer grain from Hedong Road? Although it is possible to travel by water, among them The cost..."
At this point, Li Xian shut his mouth and began to think about the reason why Hao Chujun reviewed like this.
There was no reason why Hao Chujun didn't know such a simple and easy-to-understand truth, and the fact that he did not approve the memorial meant that there must be other reasons.
What is the reason?
Seeing the prince closing his mouth as he spoke and beginning to meditate, Zhang Wenguan couldn't help but smile. Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to teach the prince two principles, but now it seems that one of the princes has understood it himself.
Don’t think of others too simply! This is true for Hao Chujun, and it should be true for the Queen of Heaven. Even Your Majesty... you have to be careful. After all, becoming the prince does not mean that everything will be fine, you just need to wait for the succession. Over the past thousands of years, more than a million people have died for that position?
Although it's not a big deal, it doesn't hurt to think more about things when you encounter them and don't think too stupidly of others.
On the other side, Li Xian thought for a while, then opened the drawer and took out a map.
This is a map of the territory of the Tang Dynasty. To be honest, the accuracy of this map is really unflattering. Just looking at the coastline, you will know that the person who drew the map did not actually conduct on-site inspection. How can there be an arc of coastline?
The Age of Navigation has not yet begun in the Tang Dynasty. If it did, the coastline would be a crucial point. Where it is suitable to park and where it is suitable to enter the interior requires careful inspection.
However, for now, this map that can distinguish the geographical location and the various roads in the Tang Dynasty is enough.
After fantasizing about the rooster and combining it with the map in front of him, Li Xian remembered where Dingzhou was.
A place in Shandong Province, not too far from the provincial capital Shijiazhuang.
The distance between Dingzhou and Hengzhou can be said to be very close. One is to the south and the other is to the north, but there is no huge mountain range in the middle.
Although he didn't do much research on geography, he still knew that mountains would affect the climate.
Why does the United States have such extreme weather conditions, while China is relatively safe? The reason is that one is a vertical mountain range and the other is a transverse mountain range.
Since there are no huge mountains between the two states that can affect the climate, Hengzhou will definitely not be able to escape what happens in Dingzhou. It is estimated that, like Dingzhou, Hengzhou is not that good, but not to the extent that it needs to be reported for help. If the climate in the two places is similar, then it won't take long for Hengzhou to ask for help.
Although he had thought it through clearly, Li Xian still handed over to Zhang Wenguan and said: "I really don't know, please clarify my doubts."
Zhang Wenguan smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness, you don't know something. In our Tang Dynasty, when disasters occur, usually the state capitals arranged in the east and west are affected together. Although Hengzhou and Dingzhou are arranged in the north and south, there is a gap between them. There are no mountains, so the situation in Hengzhou is not much better.”
"The veteran chose this memorial to tell His Highness, don't just read the superficial articles, but also need to consider the deeper level. Especially for memorials in such places, if you want to strategize, you must be familiar with the details of the place. That’s all.”
