Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2160
The rain in Guanzhong this year is extremely abundant.

During the spring plowing, it rained continuously, the so-called "spring rain is as expensive as oil", which made the people in the whole Guanzhong happy.At the end of spring and early summer, the rains will rain one after another, and everything will be moistened and the grass will be luxuriant.

In the past, this amount of rainfall was enough to make Guanzhong suffer from floods. However, in recent years, because the imperial court has increased the construction of water conservancy and dredged various waterways in Guanzhong, the flood drainage capacity has been greatly enhanced. Occasionally, one or two places Because of the danger of the river bursting embankment, the "emergency disaster relief office" dispatched the garrison for emergency rescue. Except for the inevitable financial loss, no one died in the flood...

The cohesion in Guanzhong is getting stronger and stronger.

The common people loved the emperor, praised the ministers in the court, and praised the soldiers who did not care about their own lives in emergency rescue and disaster relief.

In particular, the Great Tang army swept across the region, the Western Regions, Mobei, Nanyang, Wa, Silla...all surrendered, only Goguryeo resisted stubbornly, but once the Eastern Expedition was launched, Goguryeo would be reduced to dust and collapse in an instant!
Such unrivaled military exploits brought an unparalleled sense of security to the people of the Tang Dynasty. Merchants from all over the world gathered in Chang'an, and the temporary market by the Kunming Pool in the south of the city was overcrowded and prosperous.

*****
The flower room outside the Dragon Hall.

Since early summer, the temperature in Guanzhong has been rising steadily, and the glass curtain walls around the greenhouse have long been removed, but the top of the head is still covered with a glass ceiling. The light rain is pattering on the top, and crystal water splashes. Looking up from below, one by one ripples bloom like flowers. , disappeared in a flash, and then was covered again.

In the flower house, the rain is dripping all around, the flowers and trees are lush and green, and the breeze is blowing, making it cool and pleasant.

A thick felt blanket was laid on the ground to keep out the moisture.

His Majesty Li Er wore a normal suit, with a jade belt around his waist, and a pair of scorpions on his head. He sat there leisurely and leisurely, like a rich man in the country. The expression on his face was a little haggard, he looked thin, and his complexion was not very good, but the eyes were still radiant.

Fang Jun was kneeling and sitting opposite him. He was dressed in a blue dress with a straight gown, and he was also wearing a Futou. A piece of suet white jade was inlaid on his forehead. He had a dark face with bright sword eyebrows, a smile on his mouth, and his temples were cut like knives. A little rich and graceful, not like the "stick" that the government and the opposition are trying to belittle...

After brewing the tea, pour it into a white jade cup, and gently push it in front of His Majesty Li Er. Fang Jun said softly, "Your Majesty, please drink tea."

"Ah."

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard with one hand, picked up the teacup with the other hand, put it in his mouth and took a sip, a timeless aroma filled his mouth, the hot tea flowed down his throat, and his stomach was ironed. Paste, the teeth and cheeks will remain fragrant.

"That's right, the tea is good, and the way of making tea is also very refined, compared to those masters of tea ceremony, it's not much better."

"I have nothing to do these days, so I can study the tea ceremony in Fuzhong and get some income. It's just that if I want to go to the next level and strive for excellence, it's far from it."

"Ha ha……"

His Majesty Li Er put down his teacup, raised his eyelids to glance at Fang Jun, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, all the soldiers and generals will be rewarded for sweeping Mobei and destroying Xue Yantuo, but you are only awarded the military post of a general of the auxiliary country?" , Not only that, but you were also asked to hand over your job as the left servant of the Ministry of War, so you have hidden resentment in your heart?"

Fang Jun curled his lips: "Thunder, rain and dew are all due to your kindness."

His Majesty Li Er took a look, heh, there is really resentment...

He couldn't help but stare, and scolded: "I don't know what is good or bad! You are already a pillar of the empire at such a young age, and there are only a few people in the court who can stand in front of you. The second-rank general of the Fuguo is not satisfied. Could it be possible for the imperial edict to designate you as a strategist general? You bastard!"

Fang Jun was startled, his head was shaking like a rattle drum, and he said repeatedly: "I don't dare!"

Even if His Majesty Li Er conferred a third prince, Fang Jun dared to accept it with the cheeky face, but this "General Tiance", even if His Majesty Li Er dared to confer the title, he would not dare to accept it.

Not only did he not dare to ask for it, but he had counted countless dignitaries and relatives of the Tang Dynasty, even if anyone had eaten the guts of a leopard, he would not dare to ask for it...

In the fourth year of Wude, Qin Wang Li Shimin "three thousand broke one hundred thousand" in the battle of Hulao, defeated Xia Wang Dou Jiande, and then conquered Luoyang and defeated Zheng Wang Wang Shichong.Suppressing these two separatist forces, and capturing them to the capital Chang'an, not only unified the north for the Tang Empire, but also laid the foundation for aspiring to the Central Plains in one fell swoop.

At this time, Li Shimin was already in the rank of King of Qin, Taiwei and Shangshuling, and there was no reward or seal. At the same time, it is still the Minister of the Book, and there are also the officials of the Daxingtai Minister of the Shaanxi Province, the Mu of Yongzhou, the General of the Twelve Guards, and the King of Qin. Yu Emperor Li Yuan and Crown Prince Li Jiancheng became the powerful third figures in the Tang Empire, controlling all officials and exerting power to the government and the public.

After the change of Xuanwu Gate, His Majesty Li Er was conferred the crown prince by Emperor Gaozu, and the Tiance Mansion was abolished, and the official position of General Tiance was naturally abolished. There was no Tang Dynasty, and it was never established again.

Similar to it is Shang Shuling, the highest official of the Shangshu Province, because His Majesty Li Er used to hold this position before, and no one dared to take this position after he ascended the throne, so Fang Xuanling was able to shoot Shangshu Ling with Shangshu Zuopu The highest official position in Xiashangshu Province has become the de facto chief assistant.

Not to mention his Fang Jun, even if he is the current crown prince, if His Majesty Li Er orders a "General Tiance", he will be scared out of his wits and will die...

It is naturally impossible for His Majesty Li Er to grant this position to Fang Jun seriously. Looking at Fang Jun's appearance, he said earnestly: "You are a smart person. You know how to advance and retreat. You should know my intention to suppress you. You are only 20 years old. If you have made such great military achievements, if you continue to make such a high profile, there will be a day when there will be no rewards and no seals. Even if you are loyal and loyal to the king, with the promotion of status and power, there will always be some people who have no choice. What happens to you pushes you step by step...that's not a good thing."

Of course Fang Jun understood this truth.

When he was in Mobei, he thought clearly. After returning to Beijing, Fang Xuanling had a long talk with him, explaining in a gentle way, he must let him understand his own situation, don't rely on military merits, and don't know how to advance or retreat. Once the edge is too strong, That is, except for the rafters of the head, there is nothing to end with...

And His Majesty Li Er was able to specially summon him into the palace, hear the words of relief, and give an explanation, which shows how much he is attached to him.

Fang Jun thought to himself: At this time, shouldn't I express my emotion with a whimper...

His Majesty Li Er did not have such a unique skill as "mind reading", otherwise, if he could see through Fang Jun's mind, he would have to put a knife on this guy's neck and force him to "sigh"...

"What do you think about Mobei?"

Fang Jun collected his mind, and said tentatively: "Your Majesty is the most respected person in the world. He holds the sun and the moon in his hands and makes decisions arbitrarily. How can a humble minister dare to speak?"

It's not that he likes to flatter, it's because after returning to the capital a few days ago, he wrote a letter to His Majesty, expounding in detail his advice to Mobei, oppressing with a powerful army, wooing with merchants, corrupting with historical books... Three All things considered, in less than three generations, all Tiele tribes will speak Sinicization, write Chinese characters, read Chinese books, settle in cities, farm and mulberry, and sell goods and animals. They are no different from Han people. The exchanges between Han and Hu are frequent and extensive. You There is me in me and you in me, what is the difference between each other?

At that time, even if Mobei breaks away from Datang's control again, the tribes of Tie Le will no longer be hostile to Datang, but will be naturally close.

It doesn't matter whether it is included in the territory of Datang for a long time...

However, His Majesty Li Er mentioned this matter now, which shows that he did not agree with his point of view, or he did not accept all his advice.

He couldn't figure out what His Majesty Li Er meant, so he could only speak vaguely, and flattered him...

In the past, such obviously inferior flattery would inevitably arouse the anger of His Majesty Li Er, and it would be light to scold or kick.

However, recently, His Majesty Li Er did not get angry. He just frowned, sighed, and said after a long time: "The martial arts hall should be put on the schedule as soon as possible, and the classes should start as soon as possible. All the Zhe Chongfu, the frontier army, and the sixteen guards in the country Military officers above the school lieutenant level are all recruited into the school, trained, and then assigned to the Monan and Mobei frontier armies as the main force."

Fang Jun was startled!
Did you notice something and want to plan ahead to guard against these two armies guarding the northern gate of Guanzhong?

This is a heart-to-heart for us...
