On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the imperial court has another day off.On the sixteenth day of the first month, the Taiji Hall resumed the court meeting.Strictly speaking, from the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the various yamen of Datang officially handled official business.Even the Shangyuan Festival is over, and it's time for officials to take care of themselves.Today's court meeting is about the Mid-Spring Agricultural Ceremony.Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, every year on the day of the mid-spring moon, the emperor would lead hundreds of civil and military officials to carry out the activities of sacrificing the ancestors to pray for a good harvest.The agricultural ceremony is also the most important activity in all dynasties.Mid-spring is the second lunar month, at this time, the land has thawed, and the people's spring ploughing is about to begin.The imperial court held a ceremony to sacrifice agriculture to show the importance it attached to agricultural production.The choice of the day is to take the connotation of the harvest.Because the zodiac corresponding to "Hai" is the pig, and the pig has always been regarded as a well-fed domestic animal, it is chosen to hold a sacrifice ceremony on the "Hai" day of the second lunar month.In addition to sacrificing the ancestors, there is also an important activity in the agricultural sacrifice ceremony, that is, the emperor ploughs the land himself.This is also the meaning of persuading farmers.In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the agricultural ceremony was set as a fixed date, that is, the second day of the second month of February.Because on the second day of the second month of February, the eastern "Canglong Seven Nakshatras" among the 28 constellations are the first time that they appear above the horizon at night after the New Year.And because the "horn" star in the "Canglong Seven Nights" is the first to show up, there is a saying among the people that "the second dragon raises its head in February".In the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were many myths and legends about "the dragon raising its head".One of the most widespread legends is that the dragon god in charge of the rain in the sky woke up on the second day of the second month.At the same time, February 2 is the birthday of the father-in-law of the land, so the agricultural ceremony in the Ming and Qing dynasties was also set as "February 2".In the Tang Dynasty, the date of the agricultural ceremony still continued to use the ancient method, that is, the day of February.The February day of the first year of Zhenguan is February 12, so this year's agricultural ceremony was chosen on February 12.It's less than a month to prepare.At today's court meeting, it took more than half a morning to agree on all kinds of preparations for the agricultural ceremony.When the dynasty was dispersed, Li Shimin left Wen Yanbo behind.At the court meeting on the sixth day of the first lunar month, Wen Yanbo had been promoted by Li Shimin to be the Zhongshu Shilang on the fourth grade, that is, the deputy governor of Zhongshu Province, and made Fang Xuanling, the Zhongshu Ling, his deputy.Today's Wen Yanbo is also the deputy prime minister."
Wen Aiqing, yesterday Zhao Pengyu reported to me that Li Yi, the king of Yanjun, had a change."
Li Shimin said to Wen Yanbo."
I don't know what happened to King Yanjun," Wen Yanbo asked.Li Shimin smiled and said, "Li Yi transferred all the Tianjie troops to the outskirts of Anding County, saying that it was to strengthen the security vigilance of the Shangyuan Festival.This is not a big deal, but Zhao Pengyu suspects that Li Yi has a disobedient heart.This Zhao Pengyu is really making a fuss. ”Wen Yanbo was shocked when he heard Li Shimin's words.Don't look at what Li Shimin said he didn't care about, but if he really didn't care about this matter, he wouldn't leave him Wen Yanbo and tell Wen Yanbo about it."
Privately mobilizing troops and horses is really a taboo for generals.Based on this, Zhao Pengyu deduced that it was normal for King Yanjun to have other thoughts. ”Wen Yanbo said.Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "The Emperor Taishang once promised Li Yi the right to control all the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, and Li Yi only mobilized soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, which is beyond reproach.However, since Zhao Pengyu thinks that Li Yi's move is quite inappropriate, it is difficult to guarantee that other officials and ordinary people also have complaints about Li Yi.Therefore, I decided to send Aiqing to Jingzhou to appease Li Yi. ”As soon as Wen Yanbo heard Li Shimin's words, he understood that the emperor wanted him to go to Jingzhou to explore Li Yi's details.Or, play the role of startling the snake, ring the alarm bell for Li Yi, and let him settle down."
The minister has an old friendship with the king of Yanjun, and when the king of Yanjun returned to the Tang Dynasty, he also listened to the persuasion of the minister.The minister's visit to Jingzhou this time will definitely be able to appease the king of Yanjun and let him know His Majesty's love for him. ”Wen Yanbo also said to Li Shimin with a sharp edge.As soon as Li Shimin heard that Wen Yanbo understood what he meant, he nodded and said, "Then Aiqing will go home and prepare, and set off in the afternoon."
I asked Weiwei Temple to send troops to escort you to Jingzhou. ”On the evening of the day of the dividing line of "Ministers obeying the Order", not long after Wen Yanbo left Chang'an City, Zhao Yunze received the information of the Jingzhou rudder conveyed by the chief helm of the Dragon Guardian Society, and Li Yiqin led the Tianjie army south from Anding County, using the reason that he had transferred troops to Chang'an at the emperor's secret edict.As soon as Zhao Yunze received the news, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately entered the palace to report to Li Shimin.Li Shimin was also surprised when he heard that Li Yi really led his troops south.He didn't expect that Li Yi would really rebel.He sent Wen Yanbo to Jingzhou, which does not mean that he thinks Li Yi will really rebel.His intention, as Wen Yanbo guessed, was to test Li Yi.At the same time, I also want to tell Li Yi, you should give Lao Tzu an point, and some people in Chang'an City say that you want to rebel.If you don't obey well, I'm going to beat your ass."
Hehe, Li Yi is so bold that only 5,000 people dare to covet Chang'an" Li Shimin was laughed at by Li Yi.Zhao Yunze also said: "This Li Yi was fooled and stupid by Li Wujie's sorceress.I really think he has the nobility of the Son of Heaven" "Hehe, I am not even afraid of the 200,000 Turkic army, I am afraid of him Li Yi" Li Shimin smiled coldly, and then said to Huang Dehai, the personal servant: "Huang Dehai, order someone to go to the palace to announce the general of the Sixteenth Wei and the three provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia, Shangshu, officials, soldiers, workers, and households, as well as the chief officer of Weiwei Temple. ”Huang Dehai responded, and hurriedly sent the little eunuchs to scatter out."
Your Majesty, this is to transfer troops to quell the rebellion," Zhao Yunze asked Li Shimin.Li Shimin glanced at Zhao Yunze and said, "If you don't transfer troops to quell the rebellion, do I still have to send someone to reward Li Yibu" Uh, what are you trying to do against me, and it's not me Zhao Yunze" The minister means that the minister can accompany the army to quell the rebellion" Zhao Yunze asked cautiously."
You" Li Shimin looked at Zhao Yunze and frowned, "Your body is just right, what are you doing to make a fuss" Zhao Yunze hurriedly clenched his fist with one hand, slammed his chest three times, and said: "Your Majesty, look, the minister's body is completely recovered" "Then I can't let you go to war" Li Shimin shook his head and said, "You just got married a few years ago, and it hasn't been a month yet, I will let you go on an expedition, Mo'er is going to scold me to death" "This" Zhao Yunze scratched his head, and he didn't know how to fight for himself The opportunity to beat Li Yi.The reason why he came up was because he knew that Li Yicheng would not be able to achieve the climate and would soon be destroyed.Who doesn't want to fight a battle that is sure to be won."
Peng Yu, you are not a single person now, and if you encounter something in the future, you can't mess with your temperament.You don't even have an heir, so I'll send you to the battlefield, no eyes for swords and guns, in case you hehe, so don't join in the fun this time.If you want to make meritorious contributions, there will be many opportunities in the future.The Turks in the north alone are enough for you to make meritorious contributions. ”Li Shimin said again."
Your Majesty, then let's talk about it, when we conquer the Turks, you must order my generals" Zhao Yunze hurriedly said."
Hehe, then you should hurry up and work hard to have a son this year.After that, I can also send you to the battlefield with peace of mind, hahahaha "Uh, the matter of giving birth to a son, this can have:
