A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 141

It is an honor to be a regular counselor.

But also very hard.

Before dawn, you have to get up early and go to court, especially for Wu Huaiyu who lives in Huaiyuanfang, which is about ten miles away from the East Palace.

"Why don't Erlang move with me to live in Xuanyangfang House, the yard is also big, and it's close to the East Palace." Ma Zhou's silk robe and silver fish bag, with a black Xiezhi crown, is enshrined in the imperial censor. Also a lot more majestic.

Ma Zhou invited Huaiyu to live in Xuanyangfang, but he didn't mean to show off.

"Well, save me a room, and I will live there sometimes." Huaiyu is not polite to this future brother-in-law, and the relationship between everyone does not need to be too polite.

Before riding to the East Palace, many people obviously kept their distance from Wu Huaiyu today, but many officials took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Ma Zhou.

They all knew that the crown prince played alone with Ma Zhou for nearly an hour yesterday, and later bought a house of more than 2000 square meters for Ma Zhou in Xuanyangfang.

Based on Ma Zhou's current salary, the annual salary is tens of shi, and the salary is only [-] to [-] guan a year, plus the land and millet of the job field is dozens of shi.

For the rent of more than 2000 yuan, he can't afford it for the rest of his life without eating or drinking.

In contrast, Wu Erlang, who was still a legend yesterday, was punished the morning before, even implicated in the demotion of a senior official, and everyone respected him at a respectful distance.

On the contrary, Yan Sigu and Liu Linfu, the newly-appointed servants of Zhongshu Province, took the initiative to greet this subordinate. These two were also servants who were promoted not long ago during the adjustment, and they were originally from Zhongshushe.

"Can Erlang's poems be given as a gift?" Yan Sigu was very elegant, and suggested that he was editing a book recently and wanted to include Huaiyu's poems.

This Zhongshu servant has a long family background. His grandfather Yan Zhitui and his father Yan Silu are both great Confucian scholars. In the Sui Dynasty, Yan Sigu was awarded the title of county magistrate. Yang Su still doubted his ability. It's just that he was dismissed from Chang'an later, and he didn't get a new job for ten years. He could only make a living by teaching apprentices in Chang'an, but he taught peaches and plums all over the world.

When Li Yuan entered the customs, Yan Sigu accompanied his father to greet him, and Li Yuan directly conferred him a fifth-rank official position. Over the years, he has been in charge of secrets, codes, from Li Shimin's Dunhuang government literature, to the living room, and then to the Zhongshu Sheren. Imperial imperial edicts, all imperial imperial edicts have been written by him in the past few years, and no one can match the volumes he wrote.

This time, he was directly promoted to be the Minister of Zhongshu, and he was newly awarded the male title of Langya County.

As prime ministers, the two Zhongshulings usually attend the prince's meeting and the meetings of the ministers, but the affairs of the province are mainly presided over by the two Zhongshulings.

What happened yesterday, some Tongshi Sheren felt that Wu Huaiyu was a black sheep, but Yan Sigu felt that this young man was very good.

Liu Linfu, the male Zhongshu servant in Leping County, is also an old man of Zhongshu Province. He was a member of Zhongshushe when the founding of the Tang Dynasty was founded.

The two Zhongshu servants came to chat with Huaiyu, which surprised the Zhongshu Sheren and the Tongshi Sheren who were about to draw a firm line with Wu Huaiyu.

"The barons of our two servants were also conferred on the same day as Erlang." Liu Linfu said with a smile.

The three barons of Zhongshu Province stood there, which was really interesting.

When the time is up, the gate of the palace opens, and the officials line up to check the amulets to enter the palace, and go to the palace for early court.

Li Shimin seems to be looking good today.

Pei Ji was still the first to go out and perform.

Yesterday Li Yuan said he would abdicate, Li Shimin resigned for the third time, and today Pei Ji sent a message, Li Yuan refused.

Ever since, in the anticipation of everyone, Li Shimin recalled the past when his father and father raised troops, even wiped away tears, and finally accepted the ascension to the throne.

All the ministers shouted in unison, and Huaiyu followed suit.

Li Shimin asked the Ministry of Rites to choose an auspicious day.

Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said that the ninth day of August is a good day.

Today is the second day of August, and the ninth day is seven days later. Huaiyu guessed in his heart that Li Yuan and Li Shimin, including those prime ministers and ministers, are ready, and hope that Li Shimin can ascend the throne soon.

Tang Jian is also Li Yuan's confidant and Yuanmou's hero. He said that seven days will be a good day, and everyone agreed, so it was decided.

The eight prime ministers, together with Tang Jian, Minister of Rites, prepared for the enthronement ceremony.

Today's early court did not discuss the Turkic issue.

Big meetings and small things, small discussions about big things.

Before retreating, Li Shimin actually called Wu Huaiyu's name again.

"Wu Huaiyu is enshrined in Tongshi Sheren, and only when he is recommended by the country can he be meritorious. Three hundred pieces of silk will be rewarded."

"Ma Zhou, the censor in the palace, remonstrated with Chen Wanyan. It is a good policy to govern the country by being in touch with current events. It is specially decreed that the Jin Dynasty will scatter the rank of doctor, confer the censor, and Xuanyang Fang will give the first one."

······
As soon as the crown prince issued these two reward orders, there were many surprised voices in the hall. It was rude, but some people couldn't hold back.

Wu Huaiyu was fined a monthly salary yesterday, but today he was given [-] bolts of silk. His monthly salary was only [-] yuan, but the [-] bolts of silk were worth more than [-] yuan.

What is even more surprising is Ma Zhou.

The down-and-out scholar followed Wu Huaiyu to Longyou, he went there as his entourage, and came back with an eighth-rank post, but this rank was only a ninth-rank rank.

It is already very unusual for the crown prince to grant him the post of censor in the palace, but now he is directly awarded the post of censor and the rank of doctor in Chaosan.

Doctor Chaosan is a product of the fifth rank.

Some people were counting how many levels they had raised to this level, and the conclusion was even more astonishing. There was a [-]-level gap between the ninth level and the fifth level.

There were many low-level and high-level officials in the Tang Dynasty, and the positions were changed and transferred at different levels. However, as the rank of officials, they were relatively strict, and the ranks of the servants and ministers were often only four or five ranks.

Ma Zhou reached the sky in one step.

Some people stood up and opposed excitedly, thinking that the reward was too much, it violated the system, and so on.

"If you can follow Chen Zhiguo's strategy and good strategy like Ma Zhou, you will be rewarded without hesitation."

Seeing that many people were not convinced, he said directly: "I will ask my servants to transcribe Ma Zhou's Chen Shizhengshu and Chen Taizishu's two thousand-word strategies for governing the country, and give them to you to read, so you can take a good look at what governing the country is. Good words to save the world..."

Ma Zhou's remonstrance was not empty talk of a scholar, but really touched Li Shimin. When it came to his heart, it was the strategy he was looking for to govern the country, especially suitable for Li Shimin now and the Tang Dynasty.

When Li Shimin was reading it, his thighs were red, and Zhao Mazhou played alone for more than an hour after reading it.

Do you want to keep politics and religion intact, just to keep the past!

The first sentence of Ma Zhou's remonstrance book is very bold, you don't want to die, and the Tang Dynasty will also perish, right?
Ma Zhou is not a headline party, but systematically analyzed the current situation for Li Shimin, and gave many practical and practical suggestions. A piece of advice is not empty, but from a realistic point of view, not pragmatic but pragmatic, both diagnosis and prescription.

Pointing out problems and giving solutions are all feasible and effective solutions based on reality.

How can Li Shimin not use such talents, and he will not be bound by the ordinary promotion system for officials.

Special talent is to be used specially.

If it weren't for the fear of too many voices of opposition, Li Shimin would have even planned to directly seal Ma Zhou, a man from Kaiguo County.

Now it is directly upgraded to the fifth rank of this rank, which also shows the emperor's attitude of accepting advice and recruiting talents.

Fifth grade, you can directly wear the scarlet robe and silver fish bag, no need to borrow it.

Seeing that many officials were dissatisfied, Li Shimin glanced over at the ministers, and took a few extra glances at Pei Ji and other Emperor Wude's confidantes. There was obvious disdain on their faces.

"Give the horse Zhou Zijin!" Li Shimin added impromptu.

As soon as these words came out, there was another sound of surprise.

Ascending from the ninth rank to the fifth rank, being able to wear scarlet silver directly is already a great gift, and it is also a great exception, but now you want to give purple gold?
Giving Zijin means giving a purple robe and a goldfish bag that can only be worn by rank three or above!

This is truly an infinite honor.

Countless envious eyes gathered on Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou was dumbfounded.

Wake up, leave class and refuse.

Li Shimin forbade.

"Thunder, rain and dew are all due to your grace." After speaking, Li Shimin shook his sleeves and left.

After a while, Zhang Anan came over with a purple robe and a goldfish bag, "Ma Yushi, the prince has called you to accompany me."

Ma Zhou took the purple-robed goldfish bag and followed Zhang Ananda.

The surprise of the officials in the hall was beyond words.

Those who can come to participate regularly, except for the low-level enshrined officials of the two provinces and Yushitai, the rest are ministers of the fifth rank and above. It is not easy for anyone to be promoted to the fifth rank. , but also to boil the qualifications.

But everyone can only envy Ma Zhou's fortune.

Huaiyu followed to get his three hundred pieces of silk, and was very happy for Ma Zhou. He is still an official of the seventh rank, and he is an official of the sixth rank, and he is also a foreign official.

I thought that his speed as an official was already on a rocket, but I didn't expect that Ma Zhou was the real person who defied the sky.

Sure enough, gold shines everywhere, especially when it meets Bole.

However, it is estimated that Ma Zhou will also be squeezed out now, and more officials will consider him a lucky minister.

In fact, Wu Huaiyu is probably the same in the eyes of others.

"His Royal Highness, let the soldiers attend every five and ten dynasties in the future, and don't have to work hard at the morning for the rest of the time. At the north gate, they will also be on duty after the [-]th dynasties. The rest of the time, they will concentrate on presiding at Qujiang Shenji Workshop.
His Highness specially granted [-] mu of land next to Qujiang Shenji Square, so that the staff can build houses to live in. "

It seems that Li Shimin is still a little impatient to use the weapons of Shenjifang as soon as possible, which is urging.

Huaiyu thank you.

Three hundred pieces of silk will be delivered to his home soon, and the title deed of [-] acres of land next to Yanbo Island in Qujiang will be accepted, and he will hurry to work in Qujiang.

Li Shimin paid so much in advance, I'm sorry for not producing the finished product sooner.

At the very least, you have to dry out some samples first.

After leaving the East Palace, I quickly went to the North Gate, called Xu Ergan and a few, ordered 100 troops from the right camp of Shenji Camp, and headed for Qujiang.

When I first arrived in Qujiang, I found that Fatty Wu was already there.

"What brought you here? We haven't started work yet, and the right guard has come to us for equipment?"

Fatty Wu Junya smiled and said, "If you really want weapons and equipment, then according to the rules, you should go to Weiwei Temple. How can you go directly to the military supervisor? It's not a mess." He took out a piece of paper, "From now on, I transferred to Shenji Battalion to be a soldier."

Shenji Battalion is subordinate to Tunwei Flying Cavalry, which has thousands of people, and is also known as Qianqi Battalion.

In terms of level, it is based on the commanding military mansion.

Cao Canjun, a soldier of the Shenji Battalion, is under the eighth rank.

The fat man has been promoted, and the original right guard Kaicao has only been promoted from the eighth rank to three consecutive ranks.
