Chapter 547
Facing everyone's eyes, Li Shimin coughed dryly, and said with some headaches: "Shubao and Jingde guarding the palace gate are really hard work, it's good for Zhijie and Maogong to change shifts."
Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong were at a loss, why didn't we know where we worked hard.
Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji looked happy, and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin's words confirmed that Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji would be the door gods together with Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong.
When the rest of the people heard Li Ji's name, they also gave up the idea of fighting.
As the saying goes, heroes come out of troubled times.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, a large number of famous officials and generals emerged. Li Jing was honored as the military god of the Tang Dynasty, and no one could surpass him.
In fact, there is one person who can stand alongside Li Jing, and that is Li Ji.
Li Ji was originally named Xu Shiji. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he first joined Wagang Village and then followed Li Mi.
In October of the first year of Wude (618), Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong, and he gathered the rest of the people to submit to the Tang Dynasty.Xu Shiji took over all the territories under Li Mi's original command.
After Li Mi surrendered, the people at the bottom were panic-stricken, and they persuaded Xu Shiji to take the rest of the territory and join the Tang Dynasty, and he would definitely be reused by the Tang Dynasty.
Xu Shiji said: "Wei Gong (Li Wei Guogong) has already belonged to Datang, and now the people's land here belongs to Wei Gong. If I donate them in the above table, I will take advantage of the master's failure. I will claim credit for myself and use it. It is shameful for me to seek wealth and honor. Now we should record the names of states and counties and the household registrations of soldiers and civilians in detail, and report them all to Duke Wei, so that Duke Wei can dedicate them to the court. This is the merit of Duke Wei. "
So he sent an envoy to Li Mi.When the envoy first arrived at the court, Li Yuan was quite surprised to hear that Xu Shiji did not make a statement, but only wrote to Li Mi.When the envoy informed Li Yuan of Xu Shiji's original intention, Li Yuan said happily, "Xu Shiji is grateful for the kindness of his master and refuses to give credit. He is indeed a pure minister." He was appointed the governor of Li Yang, the king of Shangzhu, and the Duke of Lai.He was also granted the title of General Youwuhou, Cao Guogong, and was given the surname Li, "attached to the official clan".
This is not a simple surname change, but entering Li Ji into the family tree of the Li family.
From the perspective of later generations, changing one's surname is a bit humiliating.
But it was normal in ancient times, on the contrary, it would be proud of it.
Many big families would choose to give surnames to their loyal servants in order to win people's hearts.
Although in the ranking of heroes of Lingyan Pavilion made by Li Shimin, Li Ji ranked second to last. (The bottom one is Qin Qiong)
But the root cause is that Li Ji was on the wrong team during the Xuanwumen Incident.
It's not that Li Ji chose to help Li Jiancheng, on the contrary, the relationship between Li Ji and Li Shimin was very good at that time.
At that time, Li Ji was leading the army, but he did not respond to Li Shimin's contact.
The 24 heroes of Lingyun Pavilion are not so much Li Shimin's appreciation of the contributions made by these heroes for the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, but it is better to say that they were made by the ministers who made contributions to the Xuanwu Gate.
Just look at the people in the front row and you will know that those people were all involved in the Xuanwu Gate Change.
Among other things, Yu Chigong was ranked in front of Li Jing, and the truth was evident.
Even so, no one would deny Li Ji's ability.
Among other things, Li Shimin chose Li Ji as one of the Tuogu ministers before he died, and used him to contain Changsun Wuji and prevent Changsun Wuji from monopolizing power.
If Li Ji didn't have that ability and prestige, why would Li Shimin think that Li Ji could hold back Changsun Wuji.
Therefore, seeing that Li Shimin named Li Ji, the rest of them had no reason to argue.
Li Shimin said: "What do you think of Lin Xuan's method?"
Crowd: ...
You have even arranged for the door god, and you still ask us why.
Seeing that no one objected, Li Shimin looked at Duan Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and asked, "Who do you think the Ministry of Industry will be responsible for going to Henan, Shandong and other places to take care of water conservancy?"
Duan Lun got up and said, "Return to Your Majesty, Yan Lide and Yan Liben, the young craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, are very capable and good at water conservancy. They can go to the two places to take charge of this matter."
Yan Lide is Yan Liben's older brother, and like Yan Liben, he is proficient in painting.
Yan Lide was good at architecture, and later he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
And Yan Liben was even more powerful. Not only did he serve as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but he also served as a prime minister in the end.
Although the two brothers inherited architecture, it doesn't mean they don't understand other things.
And the two of them are just going to supervise, and someone else will do the specific things.
Li Shimin had heard about the names of the Yan family brothers. Hearing that Duan Lun recommended them to be responsible for the water conservancy of the two places, he thought for a while, nodded, and agreed.
After pondering for a while, Li Shimin said: "The household department is responsible for allocating money and food. After the spring plowing, organize the people to build water conservancy projects, strengthen the dams, and relocate the people as soon as possible."
Now is the time for spring plowing, and it is not suitable for auspicious people.
Farming is the big deal now, and there is no basis for telling the people that there will be floods. For the people, the most important thing is their own one-acre land.
If the signs are forced, it will not only make people panic, but may even cause chaos.
After everything was discussed, Li Shimin sent everyone away and called Li Mu to give some instructions in a low voice.
……
"Have you heard? Master Wei is the reincarnation of the star king in the sky, and he specially arranged to come down from the mortal world to assist Ming Jun."
"What is this? I also heard that Lord Wei was slaying a dragon in his dream."
"It's nothing. Have you heard that my Tang Dynasty has been plagued by natural disasters for the past few years because of evil dragons?"
……
Because of Lin Xuan's story, the whole Chang'an was full of discussions.
Li Shimin was very happy when he heard Baiqi's secret report about the people.
I haven't heard folks say that he is a rare Mingjun, otherwise, how could the heavens arrange the stars in the sky to assist him.
This time, Lin Xuan opened a new door for Li Shimin.
In the past, he worked diligently to wash away the taint of killing his brother and imprisoning his father. Even so, there are still many unfavorable rumors among the people.
I didn't expect a story to achieve such a good effect.
He wondered if he should find more people to write some stories.
Although this is suspected of fooling the people, for Li Shimin, it is enough to achieve his goal.
"Your Majesty, the envoy from Fusang has arrived. He handed over his letter of credence and asked to see His Majesty." Li Mu's voice interrupted Li Shimin's thoughts.
"Didn't you just arrive today? Are you coming to see me so soon?" Li Shimin said in surprise.
As soon as the Fusang envoy landed, someone rushed to spread the news to Chang'an.
Normally, the envoys of Fusang had to put on a ceremonial guard along the way, and it would take a few days before they arrived in Chang'an, but this time, the envoys of Fusang went ashore uncharacteristically, and came to Chang'an in a hurry.
Of course, when the Fusang envoy arrives in Chang'an, someone will definitely report to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin naturally knew why the Fusang people came here this time.
He originally thought that the Fusang people would at least recuperate and ask to see him the next day.
I didn't expect Fusang to come so soon. It seems that after the Fusang people arrived at Honglu Temple, they handed in their credentials and asked to see them.
"Announce it."
In any case, the previous Fusang envoys died, and Datang felt a little wronged, so Li Shimin decided to summon them to see what they came for.
