Morning.
Li Shimin read the newspaper while eating breakfast.
The hot-selling Times ran a special section on the sessions of both houses of Parliament.
A lot of space was devoted to the history and functions of the Parliament, as well as interviews with some well-known members of the parliament and reports on the proposals of some of the councillors.
"Qin Shuai, the king of Qijun, put forward an educational proposal" "Cheng Shuai, the king of Lujun, proposed that the Qinghai-Tibetan, Qiang-Di tribes should be conscripted by force" "The noble president Zhao Wang proposed a new law for the group to deliberate on the proposal of the parliamentarians" "Marshal Wei Chi of Wei County proposed to incorporate Xi and Qi into the Tang Dynasty and set them as autonomous territories" There are more than 5,000 noble councilors in the House of Nobles, and then the most popular are naturally those marshals, especially those marshals who are crowned kings.
The words of the handsome kings revealed openness, extroversion and enthusiastic unrestrainedness, and their proposals were all gushing with suppressed enterprising.
In comparison, the prime ministers of the DPRK, especially the literary ministers, are relatively more restrained.
The prime ministers' eyes were more on the Central Plains.
Bunji is the goal of the prime minister and ministers.
And such as Qin Qiongcheng biting Jin, these martial arts commanders still choose martial arts more and choose to open up to the outside world.
This is also due to today's system, the separation of civil and military, and the military commanders cannot play any role in the internal governance of the imperial court, they stand aside.
Only by opening up to the outside world can they show their talents.
The battlefield of the military commanders is on the battlefield.
The ministers were above the court.
The Times also intends to promote this voice of foreign expansion, interviewing all hawkish figures in the military, all of whom are extremely tough, and all of them shout for foreign development.
Whether it is Cheng Yanjin's proposal to conquer Qinghai-Tibet and Qiang, or Cheng Chumo's proposal to formally incorporate Yunnan into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, or Yu Chi Baolin's proposal to increase troops on the Korean Peninsula, and Wei Chi Gong's proposal to make Xi and China autonomous territories.
All of them are bent on enterprising and expanding.
Compared with the generals and ministers, who shouted and shouted at every turn, the prime ministers and ministers also put forward a lot of proposals, but because they looked inward, the Times did not publish them.
But Li Shimin knew about Fang Xuanling's proposal.
Fang Xuanling's motion is about the improvement of the code system, believing that the system is the foundation of the country.
However, the proposal of the eldest grandson Wuji of Zhongshu Ling was about the issue of the official system, and he believed that the problem of official governance was the fundamental way to seek governance, and the fairness and integrity of officials was the key to governing the country.
On the issue of electing officials, it is advocated that they should be appointed according to their merits, and that officials in the ministry should strengthen the examination and evaluation of officials.
Wei Zheng, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, proposed to strengthen the perfection of the law, so that officials and the people could have laws to follow.
There are also prime ministers who have proposed to reduce the number of troops and horses.
In short, the two ways of civil and military are indeed completely different in vision.
After reading a few newspapers, Li Shimin just smiled.
The council was a bit of a surprise to him.
"Li San is really a fucking talent" He originally thought that even if this council was established, it would not really play a role.
He originally opposed the parliament because he was worried that the upper house of the parliament would gather the world's nobles, and the lower house would focus on the world's famous scholars and magnates, and he was afraid of the union of these forces.
I really didn't think there would be anything else to suggest in this council.
But today, it seems that he underestimated Li Chao.
Even if he deliberately muddied the waters and let the upper house have more than 5,000 members, but the result was that the upper house was not chaotic, Li Chao came up with a group deliberation mode, and really screened tens of thousands of proposals from more than 5,000 parliamentarians, layer by layer, and selected some excellent proposals.
Putting down the newspaper, Li Shimin sat there thinking.
Whether it is appropriate to let Li Chao be the president of this upper house I thought that this house would not be of much use, but now it seems that this house is not so simple.
If Li Chao is given time, can he unite the nobles He suddenly realized.
The Guanlong aristocracy, which began in the Western Wei Dynasty and flourished in the Zhou and Sui dynasties, although it had almost died out in the Tang Dynasty, but now in his hands, a more powerful military aristocracy had risen and taken shape.
This new military aristocratic group, represented by Shandong Haojie, was originally just an old subordinate of his Qin Palace.
In the process of winning the heir and stabilizing the world, he made great contributions.
He also used this force to fight in the north and south, and swept away those opponents internally, sweeping away the Guanlong nobles and the Wude group from power, but now, these military upstarts have also grown up little by little.
By now, a huge group has been formed.
The top figures of this group are naturally Li Chao, Qin Qiong and other princes.
A palace man walked in with a few vases of flowers.
It's a peony.
Tang people love flowers, and Li Shimin also loves flowers.
The Tang people loved peonies the most, and peonies were also the queen's favorite flowers.

The queen loved the brilliant colors of the peony, and also liked its magnificence and royal atmosphere.
Seeing this flower, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.
"Who told you to send this flower?"
"Back to Your Majesty, it was sent by the slaves and maids by the martial arts."
"Wu Meiniang" Li Shimin nodded, after the girl was admitted to the palace by him, he deliberately snubbed her.
"Is this flower also inserted by Wu Meiniang?"
"Back to Your Majesty, these peonies were cut and inserted by the martial arts people themselves."
"Let it go."
Peony, the king of flowers.
Just like the current Tang Dynasty, it is rich and powerful, full of the spirit of a king.
Datang's military merit group is indeed very powerful, but there is no need to worry him now.
Compared with the time of Zhou Sui, the Guanlong Group occupied the court and places in an all-round way at that time, and it can be said that they were everywhere.
And now, the military nobles of the Tang Dynasty have been divided into places, and most of them are military positions, although many people also hold military positions, but the Tang Dynasty is separated from the civil and military, and they can't interfere in the court, and they can't interfere in the local area.
There is an increasingly strong civil and official group, especially now through the imperial examination, a large number of non-aristocratic and scholarly Jinshiju people have entered the officialdom, which has strengthened the centralization of the imperial court over the central and local governments.
The nobles were divided into frontiers, and there were edicts of tui, and the court had administrative, tax, and judicial powers, but there was no need to worry too much.
Li Chao is right, the Tang Dynasty should not be in a hurry to stop the pace of expansion, with these military nobles playing for the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court should continue to fight in the east and the west, and continue to lay a big territory for the Tang Dynasty.
In the streets and alleys of Hanjing, teahouses and restaurants, everyone is also hotly discussed.
"The imperial court is going to open up again."
"Who do you say the imperial court will destroy next, Silla, Baekje and Tibet?"
"Maybe it's real wax."
"I heard that Funan is going to be beaten."
"Goguryeo, which was pacified the year before last, is still a large area empty over there, and there is no one to immigrate.
I heard that many people in Silla and Baekje are now crossing the border without permission and running to occupy the land that we have conquered.
If you want me to say, our court should take advantage of the situation to destroy these two countries next year. ” "I heard that there is a country in the Western Regions that is going to send troops to fight us, as if it wants to rob our Tianzhu."
"Nonsense, the country of the Ring of the Sun is obviously in the south of Tibet, where is it in the Western Regions."
"Isn't the country of the Ring of Japan in the Western Regions, why did you go to the south of Tibet?"
"Hey, haven't you seen the map drawn in the Times, in Chang'an used to be Longyou, and the south of Longyou was Qinghai.
To the south of Qinghai is Subi, and to the south of Subi is Tibet.
To the south of Tibet, there are continuous snow-capped mountains.
The big snow-capped mountain is 3,000 zhang high, and the high snow-capped mountains, with continuous glaciers, make it difficult for people to cross, and only a few mountain passes may lead to the south of the mountain.
In the south of the mountain, there is Nibor, and to the south of Nipor is this kingdom of the ring.
And Tianzhu, called the country of poison in the Han Dynasty, is now the trust leader of our Tang Dynasty, in the west of the country of the Ring of Japan. ” "That is, usually read the newspapers, there are several countries in the south of this precept country, and further south, it is the Xindu Sea, to the east, it is the South China Sea of our Datang, and to the west is the Persian Sea.
The southern part of the country is not close to the sea, but it is said that there are seaports on the east and west sides, and our ocean-going ships often replenish their ports. ” With the development of the Datang Voyage, over the years, the people of Datang have heard a lot about the situation outside the Central Plains, especially the spread of newspapers, so that they know a lot about the outside world.
Now many people also know that the southwest of the Tang Dynasty is a continuous jungle, the south is hot and rainy, there are Linyi, Zhenla, Funan, Biguo, Langyaxiu, Karma and other countries, these countries and to the west there is a large mountain range, the west of this mountain range is the country close to Tianzhu, such as the Ring of the Sun and the Lion Country, and the ancient Tianzhu is now the letter of the Tang Dynasty, the west is the Great Snow Mountain, in the past it was Tocharo, and the southwest of Tocharian is Persia.
As for the north of the Tang Dynasty, of course, it is Mobei.
The extreme north of the Monan prairie is said to be a perennial snow-covered snow forest, which is colder than the northeast of the country, such as the Muro and the Murwei.
In the northeast, it is said that there are some barbarian countries such as the Ghost Country.
In the far north, in the snowy north, it is said that there is a large ice ocean, a sea covered with ice all year round.
Some people also say that to the east of the Wandering Ghost Country in the extreme northeast, there is a small strait, and to the east of the strait, there is an ice and snow continent like the northern ice field.
Every year, many adventurers form expedition teams, and they set off to the four directions of the Tang Dynasty to explore deeply, to find mineral deposits, to find those places that have not yet been discovered, to discover trade routes.
It is said that these expeditions were financed, and the trade routes and mineral deposits they found were rewarded with great rewards.
"It is said that last year an expedition fleet returned from the South Seas, and this fleet left the port of Guangzhou five years ago.
After five years of no news, they thought they were buried in the sea.
Who knows, last year they came back. ” "Oh, I've heard about the fleet you're talking about, and it's said that they sailed all the way east, and after a lot of hardships, they actually found a magical continent in the east of the ocean."
"At the end of the eastern ocean, at least tens of thousands of miles away."

"I heard that they brought back a lot of things from the East Continent, including the local natives, as well as some birds and plants from the East Continent."
"Those people have all made a fortune, and the things they brought back were all purchased by the Bashang Li family.
It is said that several of these items were named corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, sunflowers, pumpkins, peppers, tomatoes, etc. by the Li family.
I heard that corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are all crops that can be used as food, and the yield is extremely high.
The Li family has already dedicated these to the imperial court."
"Corn is the same as jade, rice, potatoes grow in the soil, soybeans and sweet potatoes, and melons in the ground are named, these crops are so strange."
"No, it was brought back from the Eastern Continent, tens of thousands of miles away.
If you want to talk about it, maybe only those Hu dishes brought back by Zhang Qian from the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty can be compared. ” "Donglu, tens of thousands of miles across the ocean, oh my God, how big is this world?"
