Dragon fights in Tang Dynasty

Being an official in the Tang Dynasty can be said to be a good job, and the benefits are not bad at all compared to later generations. As long as you are an official, you can enjoy one day off every ten days, which is called "Xunjia". Various festive holidays (such as the seven-day Spring Festival holiday), fixed provincial festivals (visiting parents once every three years, a total of 35 days), marriage leave (nine days), funeral leave (depending on the length of time depending on the relationship with the deceased), sick leave (up to a hundred days, and will be dismissed after [-] days).Officials who are in poor health or over [-] years old can retire, which is called Zhishi. The retirement of officials above the fifth rank is approved by the emperor, and the retirement of officials below the sixth rank is approved by the Ministry of Shangshu.Officials of the fifth rank and above enjoy a half salary when they retire, and those who have made meritorious service can receive a full salary because of the special favor of the emperor. Not to mention how moist it is.

Look how cool it is to be an official, isn't it?But Li Zhen doesn't think so. For Li Zhen, being an official is a hard job. If you don't pay attention, it will be a miserable situation. Waiting in ambush is enough to worry about. Even if everything is fine, going to court is still a heavy burden, isn't it?Whenever the morning court comes, you have to get up at the third watch, and at the fifth watch, you have to rush to the court room in the palace. If you accidentally miss the time, well, the fine is still a trivial matter, and I'm afraid the old man will think about it and throw it out when the time comes. It's a big crime, so how can the fun be so small?No, today is the morning day on the eighth day of the first lunar month. In the cold weather, Li Zhen got up early in the morning. Fortunately, she was used to getting up early to practice martial arts in the past. Some white porridge hurriedly got on the big sedan chair and hurried all the way to the court room, only then did he realize that he was the only seedling in the court room, and he was the only one in the court room. , just smiled, a man rushed in at the door, but it was Zhu Suiliang, Minister of the Ministry of officials.

"Your Highness, is there anything wrong with being an official?" As soon as Zhu Suiliang saw the weird smile on Li Zhen's face, he thought he was laughing at himself, and hurriedly lowered his head to look at his court clothes. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the other party, he suddenly felt embarrassed asked with a smile.

Hey, misunderstood?As soon as Li Zhen saw Zhu Suiliang's behavior, she knew that this buddy would be wrong, but she didn't bother to explain, she just smiled and said: "It's okay, this king is just enjoying himself, you don't need to take it to heart."

"Oh, so that's the case. His Royal Highness Yue Wang is a new official. He is a young man, and it's the time of the spring breeze. You can forgive me, haha..." Zhu Suiliang was originally a funny person. Li Zhen is here.

Li Zhen is very aware of Zhu Suiliang's character, and knows that this guy seems to get along with everyone on the surface, but in fact he is a smiling tiger. Of course, his regular script is really good. He is the only calligrapher left in the Tang Dynasty after Yu Shinan, and he won the old man's favor. As far as Li Zhen knows, this old Mr. Zhu will soon join the cabinet and assume the high position of deputy prime minister like Shangshu Sheng Youpushe. Naturally, he doesn't want to have trouble with this person. He just watched him tease him. Li Zhen didn't say anything, and simply acquiesced, and laughed out loud.

"Eighth brother, what's so funny, why don't you tell third brother about it." Just as Li Zhen and Zhu Suiliang were laughing happily, Wu Wang Li Ke came in from the outside and asked with a smile on his face.

"No, it's nothing, it's just some trivial matters." At this critical period, Li Zhen really didn't want to have anything to do with Li Ke, so naturally she didn't want to say anything, so she answered casually and planned to run away.

"What? Can't you tell me to listen to your brother?" Li Ke didn't intend to let Li Zhen go just like that, and asked relentlessly.

***Third son, what are you doing pestering me with nothing to do?Li Zhen was very impatient in her heart, but at this moment the important officials of the court were rushing in, Li Zhen really didn't want to conflict with Li Kesheng in front of others, and was thinking about how to get rid of it, when Wei Wang Li Tai also left in a hurry Coming in, he walked up to Li Zhen with a few strides, and said with a smile: "Eighth brother, I dare you to come so early, yes, my brother is looking for you on something."

Ha, there's a shit!Li Zhen naturally understood that Li Tai didn't want to get close to Li Ke, and deliberately made jokes, but she didn't want to point it out, instead she said seriously: "Fourth brother, if you have something to do, just tell me, little brother, listen."

"Okay, let's go, let's talk." Li Tai pulled Li Zhen and walked into the corner as soon as Li Tai finished speaking. The two brothers chatted casually while walking.

Li Ke looked at Li Zhen and Li Tai's intimacy, his handsome face suddenly turned a little crooked, but he had nothing to do with these two brothers, so he laughed at himself, walked to his confidant's side, and He didn't speak, just glanced at the two brothers in the corner from time to time, his face full of suspicion, just when he was going to go to Li Zhen's side to find out what happened, the morning drum in the palace rang At that moment, the sound of the eunuchs shouting to go to court spread far into the court room, and all the courtiers in the room rushed out of the court room.Seeing Li Zhen and his brothers approaching, Li Ke gave a self-conscious smile and didn't say anything more. He hurriedly stood in front of Li Tai, and all the courtiers rushed straight to the magnificent Tai Chi Hall.

Excited, Li Zhen is really a little excited, without him, although he has been to the Tai Chi Hall for many years, but it is the first time to come here as a courtier, Li Zhen, who is in the queue of generals, took advantage of Li Shimin's arrival. When he arrived, relying on his own height, he looked around for a long time, but, speaking of it, he himself didn't know what he was looking at, so he just took this opportunity to relieve the tension in his heart.

"The emperor is here!" Following the high-pitched voice of the internal servant Gao Yao, Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was dressed in the Ming emperor's costume, strode out from the harem, and walked straight to the dragon chair with a solemn expression. He took off his robe and sat down, followed by the prince Li Chengqian, who was also lame, walked to the seat of the prince in front of him and sat down.Seeing this, all the courtiers immediately fell to their knees, shouting long live three times.

"Everyone loves you forever." Li Shimin raised his hand in vain, indicating that all the civil and military personnel in the hall should return to their original positions, and said with a smile: "Today is the new year, and there should be a new look in the new year. What do you love about this chapter? Let’s play, do it yourself.”

Ha, let's wait for you to say that!As soon as Li Zhen heard the old man call the big guy to go to the book, he immediately flashed out from the ranks of generals, knelt down in front of the hall, raised the memorial in his hand above his head, and said loudly: "Report to the emperor, my son has this chapter to play: The sage of soldiers has said: Soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of life and death must not be ignored. Therefore, five things are used in the scriptures, and they are used to calculate and ask for their feelings: one is Tao, the other is heaven, and the third is heaven. The ground is called the land, the general is called the fourth, and the law is called the fifth. My ministers have observed it since they led the army to go out. Although our Tang soldiers are strong and our generals are brave, our successors are weak. My son thinks that there must be a good strategy for selecting talented people in order to preserve our future foundation in the Tang Dynasty, and the fourth brother also thinks so. Therefore, my son and others implore my father to conduct a military examination and select generals for my great Tang. The minister's superficial hearing, I hope the father and emperor will clearly observe."

As soon as Li Zhen's words fell, Wei Wang Li Tai immediately stood up and echoed loudly: "Father Huang Mingjian, I think that what the eighth younger brother said is the way to seek the country, I implore Father Huang to be considerate of this matter, so as to serve the world Talented people have a way of birth."

Li Shimin didn't expect that Li Zhen would be the one who went to the book, nor did he think that Li Zhen would pull Li Tai to go to the book. He didn't realize it for a while, fell silent for a while, and then waved his hand and said: "Hand it up." Gao Yao, who was waiting by Li Shimin's side, hurriedly trotted all the way down the front door, took the memorial in Li Zhen's hand, turned around and ran back without touching his feet, and handed the notebook to Li Shimin.

Li Zhen's memorial was written in a very orderly manner. It not only listed the necessity of martial arts, but also stated the relevant selection methods one by one. The official also made it clear, not to mention the outstanding literary talent, even the regular script is pleasing to the eye, and Li Shimin is very happy to see it. However, this matter is so important that Li Shimin dare not make a decision lightly. Looking at the two sons who were kneeling on the ground, he said calmly: "What are your opinions on the matter of martial arts, please tell them. I want to hear your opinions."

The imperial examinations at this time are not as magical as those of later generations. Even if you are a Jinshi, you may not have a bright future in the court. Not to mention, there have been more than forty Jinshi in the past 16 years, and they are really qualified. None of them went to the palace to discuss matters. All the important officials of the Manchu Dynasty were the gang of people who conquered the world in the Tang Dynasty. To lay hands down, or to become an official in a local area. Therefore, if the imperial examination is not an imperial examination, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty actually don't care at all. Moreover, this proposal was proposed by two popular princes, unless they really intend to say goodbye to these two princes. Be careful, otherwise, who would dare to say "no", but it is impossible for the big guys to come forward and say yes, without him, the holy will is unclear at the moment, and no one knows whether Li Shimin will agree to this Fuck, if flattering hits the horse's feet, wouldn't it be wronged? The hall fell silent for a while, and everyone kept silent.

Li Ke glanced at Li Zhen and Li Tai who were kneeling in front of him. His heart moved, and he guessed that the two brothers must have colluded long ago. I don't know much about military affairs, so how can I find out the flaw in this fold in a short time, just when I was in a hurry, I suddenly saw the crown prince winking at Hou Junji, who was standing in the front of the generals, and my uneasy heart immediately settled down. Smiling at the prince, he nodded by the way.

The crown prince glanced at Li Ke, and nodded noncommittally. Only the two of them could understand the meaning of it...
