Chapter 1148: Imperial Seal


This year's winter seems to be exceptionally cold.

Li Shimin stood in front of the hall, looking at the gloomy sky, as if it was about to snow again.

He gathered the robes on his body, whether it snowed, Ruixue was a good year.

If it doesn't snow in winter, that's a good thing.

If it doesn't snow in any winter, then everyone from the emperor to the people won't be at ease for even a year.

This means that there will definitely be disasters next year, and there will often be droughts and even locusts without snow.

A bitter wind swirled down the corridor.

I heard that on Yazhou Island in Lingnan, there is no snow all year round.

The winter in Hanjing is full of snow, but Yazhou Island is as hot as summer.

And in the more distant state of Vietnam, there is not even winter, there are two seasons a year, spring and summer.

Jiaozhou has two seasons: rainy season and dry season.

My country is really vast.

If you have the opportunity, you will go to Jiangnan next time, but go to Lingnan, or even go to the end of the world to have a look.

Shivering, Li Shimin shook his head with a smile and walked towards the hall.

It was cold and windy outside, but it was warm as spring inside.

But sitting in front of the imperial case, looking at those movements, his brows suddenly furrowed.

It's annoying.

In front of him is a pile of twists and turns, and these are all impeachment of Li Chao.

From all sides, some from Lingnan, some from the imperial court, and even many officials who were not from the imperial history also played to impeach Li Chao.

The content of impeachment is varied.

It is said that Li Chao acted arrogantly in Lingnan, forced Feng Xian to rebel, and went on a killing spree.

Some people also say that Li Chao took advantage of the Lingnan and was greedy.

There are also people who say that Li Chao deliberately provoked trouble, saying that he crossed the imperial court and directly negotiated with Zhenla and Funan, and even signed an agreement with Zhenla without the consent of the imperial court, promising Zhenla to send troops to deal with Linyi and Funan Alliance, saying that Li Chao took the opportunity to blackmail Zhenla for hundreds of miles of northern territory in the name of the imperial court and incorporated it into his own fiefdom.

Some people impeached Li Chao's plan to destroy Linyi, saying that he would take the initiative to send troops to invade Linyi regardless of the fact that Linyi was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

There are many other things, anyway, now that Li Chao is in the court, half of the people praise Li Chao very much, and the other half of the people impeach Li Chao every day.

After reading another book, Li Shimin threw it directly into the box next to him, which was already half a box, and not far away, there were several large boxes covered with several mouthfuls, which also contained the fold of impeachment of Li Chao.

All the excerpts to impeach Li Chao were finally packed into a large box and stacked in the corner, and there would be no approval at all.

Li Shimin sighed, what is this.

None of them were impeached to the point.

What Li Chao did in Lingnan, he didn't have time to praise it, it was a great achievement.

What Feng Xian Ning Chen, does Li Shimin care what they think refuses to hand over power, and still wants to secede and dream.

It should be Li Chao's tough means and not give them a chance.

Li Chao's treatment of the Zhenla countries did go beyond the imperial court.

However, through the investigation of the six doors, there is also Li Chao's recital.

He also has a relatively clear understanding of the situation in Nanban, Zhenla, Linyi, and Funan formed two camps to fight each other, Li Chao did not mediate, nor did he support Linyi and Funan, but stood on the side of the stronger Zhenla, which is not to maintain the situation in Nanban.

Li Chao wants to break the game.

Li Chao wants the Tang Dynasty to destroy Linyi and seize the land of Linyi.

This is what Li Chao said bluntly in the recital, Linyi is already a land in China, and now that there is a chance to recover, of course it must be recovered.

As for crossing the imperial court, Li Chao's explanation is that Guangnan is too far away from Beijing, the matter is urgent, and if you wait for the imperial court to reply, you are afraid of missing the opportunity.

Moreover, he, as the disposal ambassador, also has the right to dispose of it cheaply.

It cannot be said that Li Chao is completely overstepping his authority.

Among all the impeachment of Li Chao, it is not completely empty.

If you really want to pick a bone in an egg, you can always pick it out.

Li Chao's status, many people impeached him, but they just wanted to use Li Chao to make a name for themselves. is even speculating about the king's will, thinking that Li Chao's status is too high now, and the emperor will want to take Li Chao.

Li Shimin shook his head, does he need to take down Li Chao No, and for no reason.

After the Hanjing Rebellion, Li Shimin needed more and more Li Chao, a long-tested and loyal minister.

This trip to Lingnan has proved more and more the importance of Li Chao to the imperial court.

It has been five or six years since Lingnan was attached to the Tang Dynasty, and it has always been the fact that the local tycoons have been divided, and as soon as Li Chao went, the matter was settled.

Pick up the fold of the six doors.

After a few glances, his brow furrowed.

It is written that Li Chao once mentioned to the prince that he wanted to train knights in the fief.

Seven-year-old children are selected from the soldiers of the fiefdom, trained by their side when they are young, and fourteen years of squire knight training are eliminated once a year.

Those who can complete the fourteen years of training and assessment will eventually be awarded the rank of knight and rewarded with a manor.

These knights will become the lord's bodyguard, and even the officers of the government soldiers.

This knight, Li Shimin shook his head.

From the perspective of the laws and systems of the imperial court, Li Chao's knight did not quietly break the law.

After all, there are rules in the imperial court that the fiefdom lord can have a guard, two places in one mile.

Li Chao trained knights in a small way, which can only be said to be a way to select guards, as long as the number is not excessive, there is nothing wrong.

Even if Li Chao bestows titles on those knights who have passed training, as long as this manor is Li Chao's own private land, who he wants to give it to, the court has no reason to object.

Well, Li Chao's knight is legal and reasonable.

But from another point of view, Li Chao's knight is not so reassuring.

I started training at the age of seven, and after fourteen assessments and eliminations, I finally trained a knight, how good this is can be literate and martial, and it can even be said that it is not weaker than the training of the students of the martial arts hall.

After fourteen years of training, these knights were able to become the elite of the elite, and even excellent mid-level officers.

What does Li Chao want to do?

It's just a simple training of an elite guard, or there is a long-term plan This Li Chao is always unreassuring, and he always has to do something from time to time.

If you meet an ordinary emperor, this one is enough to take Li Chao down.

But in the end, Li Shimin still sighed, and then threw the secret music into the big box.

"Your Majesty, Ma Xiang, Gao Xiang and other five ministers asked to see each other, saying that there is an important matter about the clan chronicles."

Li Shimin looked up.

"Let them in."

Speaking of the clan chronicles, Li Shimin was very unhappy in his eyes, what was the draft of the clan chronicles sent last time. actually listed Cui Gan as the first class.

Ma Wu people entered the temple and saluted.

"A few Aiqing are exempt from courtesy and sit down."

"Your Majesty, after the last draft was returned, the ministers discussed it for a long time after they went back, and they had a new editing idea, and they wanted to report it for instructions first."

"Oh, let's talk about it, how do you plan to fix it this time."

Ma Zhou presented a brief outline he had just written to one of his chamberlains, who forwarded it to the emperor.

Li Shimin took it and only glanced at it, and a smile appeared on his face.

He thought that what Cui Zheng was sent this time, but he didn't expect that what was written on it was so in line with his intentions.

First class royal and second class.

The order is determined by the official titles of the dynasty, regardless of the past.

Moreover, many officials and ministers who were not from the landlord class of the Shu clan in the past can also be included and even ranked first.

In the past, the gate lord clan could only be ranked back according to their official positions this time.

Their official titles are far inferior to those of the nouveau riche.

Ma Zhou and the others secretly looked at the emperor, and found that the smile on the emperor's face was getting bigger and bigger, and they were also relieved, it seemed that they had indeed guessed the emperor's mind correctly this time.

Gao Shilian went to look at Ma Zhou, but he didn't expect Ma Zhou's vision to be so accurate this time.

Maybe this is not what Ma Zhou meant, but what Li Chao meant, Gao Shilian thought to himself.

"Very good" Li Shimin finished reading, "Very good, the clan chronicles should be compiled in this direction" Li Shimin felt that he was in a good mood, and the clan chronicles would be the ranking list of the Tang Xinshi clan.

He knew very well that the Tang Dynasty was established by three forces of scholars, one was the Guanlong Group, one was the Shandong Group, and the other was the Jiangnan Group.

The Guanlong Group is a military group composed of Xianbei nobles in the Northern Wei Dynasty, which also includes the Han people of Huhua and the Hu people of the Western Regions, the royal Li family is from the Guanlong Group, the Li family was still one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the Li family is an important member of the Guanlong Group.

The Shandong Group includes Shandong Shizu and Shandong Haojie.

Shandong Shi people have a long history, strong economic strength, and a strong clan township foundation, they have a strong political energy, can control the government, retreat control the township, but also master academics.

Shandong Haojie is a group of landlords in the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and they are the local heroes who rose rapidly at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Today, the new upstarts in the military of the DPRK and China are mainly Shandong heroes.

This is also the strongest support force when Li Shimin was still in the Qin Palace.

The Jiangnan scholars were also an important force, and in the early Tang Dynasty, they participated in the formulation of the Tang Dynasty system and regulations, and on the other hand, they continued to exert influence in the Jiangnan region.

These three forces have played a great role in the establishment of Datang and the recovery and growth of national strength in the early stage.

But Li Shimin will never allow these forces to override the imperial court, Guan Long and Jiangnan Shi are weakening, but the Shandong Shi clan still has a strong influence through the marriage with the noble nouveau riche in Shandong.

The Li family ranks first, the nobles rank second, and at the same time, Li Shimin has long married the top nobles in the DPRK through marriage and formed marriages, so the nobles are all royal relatives, and they occupy the second, which undoubtedly consolidates the status of the royal family.

The third is to sort according to the rank of officials, only the current dynasty, regardless of the past.

Whether it is five surnames or seven families, whether it is the nobles of Guanlong, or even the Jiangnan scholars, etc., no matter how Xuanhe was in the past, only the present.

Ma Zhou is not a nobleman, nor is he a royal relative, so although he is from an ordinary background, because he is now the prime minister, he is also ranked third.

Those old scholars, if they didn't have high-ranking officials, they could only rank fourth.

"What is the number of Li families in the bag," Li Shimin asked with a smile.

Ma Zhou and Gao Shilian glanced at each other, and then said truthfully, "The ministers plan to put the Li family in the second place, and the third in the world." ” Li Shimin shook his head.

Ma Zhou said, "Please make it clear to Your Majesty." ” "Which family is the second in line?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Luoyang's eldest grandson's house."

Li Shimin spoke, "The Li family is a branch of the royal family, so there is no need to list it separately.

The ranking of the world's sergeant clans, the royal first, this second, should be the Li family, and the Luoyang eldest grandson family is ranked third."

The emperor decreed, Ma Zhou, of course, they had no opinion.

Luoyang's eldest grandson's family and Bashang's Li family are both in-laws and nobles, and it's really hard to say who is before and who is behind the two families.

Now that the emperor has opened Chrysostom and said that the Li family is the second, then the Li family will naturally be the second. t1706231537:
