Chapter 305 I am afraid that my brother will have a hard time, and I am also afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover.
Another year of winter.

Chang’an is still covered in snow.

But it did not block the bustling scene in Chang’an.

Officials from various provinces were arriving in Chang’an one after another.

Firstly, I must be present at the Holy Emperor’s fiftieth birthday celebration next year.

Secondly, I can also attend the grand court meeting at the end of this year.

It can be said that this achieved two goals at once, as officials from all over the Tang Dynasty once again gathered in Chang’an.

It can be traced back to the time when Emperor Gaozu abdicated and the Holy Emperor ascended the throne.

Li Jue’s guess was correct. They and the King of Wu arrived in Chang’an at the same time.

Both the Zongzheng Temple and the Ministry of Rites treated the return of the kings to the capital with great seriousness.

Especially Li Ke and Li You.

The identities of these two people are not just princes, but also important figures who are in charge of a region.

Especially Li You.

Officials in the court had to treat this matter with caution.

In fact, they couldn’t understand why the dissolute King of Qi became more and more capable.

Govern Tubo and govern the Northeast.

The King of Qi made an indelible contribution to the development of these two places, and all the central ministers in the court saw it.

It’s not certain how capable the King of Qi is.

You can say he has no ability.

He can govern the two places properly and also enhance the reputation of the Tang Dynasty.

Just tell me if it’s strange or not.

Li You and Li Ke dressed formally and went to pay homage to the Holy Emperor together with the emperor’s grandsons Li Jue, Li Xiang and others, and then went to the East Palace to pay homage to the Crown Prince.

“Saburo!”

Li Chengqian took Li Ke’s hand, looked him up and down, showed his love and care, and said, “You have suffered a lot.”

“Brother, everything is for the Tang Dynasty.” Li Ke said, “It’s just some hardships, not bitter.”

He felt warm in his heart.

I receive care from my father and love from my elder brother.

This feeling made him feel more at ease with what he was doing in Tubo.

What his father and brother cared about was not what happened to Tubo, but what happened to him.

“it is good.”

Li Chengqian smiled and said, “As expected of a son of the Li family, you are full of energy.”

Li You said, “Brother, you don’t feel sorry for me. I have suffered a lot in the Northeast.”

“Not worse than the third brother at all.”

Li Chengqian glanced at him and said, “You have indeed made a lot of contributions. I don’t deny it.”

“But I don’t know about the corrupt and depraved things you did in the Northeast?”

This guy Li You can control the Northeast Military Governor’s Office, and it is not a mistake to use him.

After all, Li You was well-known for his arrogance and domineering behavior. He did things that were extremely contrary to common sense and his approach was totally unpredictable.

Not to mention the officials of the Northeast Military Governor’s Office, even the King of Jiangxia couldn’t handle him.

But to say that everything that happened in the Northeast was done by him alone would be an exaggeration.

It was thanks to his capable subordinates, such as Pei Xingjian, Shangguan Yi, Han Yuan, Liu Rengui, Li Daozon and others who assisted him.

Li You supported these capable ministers and provided them with an extremely comfortable governing environment. In return, these capable ministers were able to display their talents and realize their ambitions in return for his efforts.

Otherwise, with Li You’s half-baked ability level, Northeast China would not have achieved its current development.

Li You delegated power, allowing his subordinates to work with confidence, and both sides achieved mutual success.

“Brother, I haven’t done anything to anger anyone.”

Li You said aggrievedly: “I know that my father is going to celebrate his 50th birthday, so I will bring the Queen of Japan with me. I will sing and dance for him then.”

“The Turkic Khan danced for my father himself, and I will follow his example this time.”

“As a son, you should try to make your father happy. This is filial piety.”

“Brother can’t accuse me of not being one.”

“I was wronged.”

Hearing this, Li Chengqian showed a suspicious look, “Is this something you would say?”

“elder brother!”

Li You said angrily, “Am I so unlearned and unskilled in your eyes?”

“Is it not possible for me to make some progress?”

Li Jue chuckled and said, “Uncle King Qi also knows that he didn’t make any progress in the past.”

“You brat!”

Li You glared and said, “Brother, I want to complain. This bastard is not a good man. He is so hateful…”

He enumerated Li Jue’s crimes, filled with indignation.

Seeing this, Li Zhi also quickly added fuel to the fire, accusing Li Jue of outrageous actions.

Li Jue was angry and anxious, and said madly: “Uncle, you are so old, and you still make accusations. Your nephew looks down on you.”

Li You was overjoyed, pointing at Li Jue and shouting, “Brother, look, Erlang has admitted what he did.”

“I’m not slandering you.”

Li Jue gritted his teeth and said, “That’s too much!”

Li Ke asked curiously, “Erlang, are you really doing this to your Uncle Qi and Uncle Jin?”

“Uncle Wu Wang, you must believe me. The two uncles have accused and slandered me without any reason. This has ruined my handsome and majestic image.”

Li Jue did not perform the ceremony of coming of age, but he was dressed very formally, giving off the air of a handsome young nobleman.

It’s just a little dark, which is a bit inconsistent.

“Oh, you also know what handsome and mighty means.” Li You teased.

Li Zhi was also smiling. Silence was more lethal than speaking.

“All right.”

“None of them are decent.”

Li Chengqian scolded with a stern face.

He didn’t say much. It seemed that both sides were unwilling to give in and kept on talking nonsense, but in fact, how the younger generation got along with their uncles was their business.

There is no need for me to intervene. If I take it seriously and try to educate them, that would be a waste of time and would only create resentment between the two sides.

If Li You and Li Zhi didn’t like Erlang, they would definitely not continue fighting with them.

Children have no sense of propriety. Don’t adults know how to avoid this?

It may seem like disgust, but in fact it is a way of getting close to others.

Li Jue made a face at Li You, and Li You glared back at him fiercely.

“Huaiying!” Li Chengqian called out, “Go and inform Changle, Gaoyang and the others to come to the East Palace for dinner.”

“Oh, right, there are also Silang, Uncle Han Wang and the others…”

He read out a list of names and said to Li Ke and the others, “Tonight, we will hold a banquet in the East Palace to welcome you.”

“Thank you, brother!”

“In a few days, you will come with me to Tiangongyuan to broaden your horizons.”

“Yes!”

night.

The East Palace is very lively.

The prince, princess and others gathered together, toasting each other and talking about everything under the sun.

Only the Taiji Palace is a bit deserted.

Li Shimin paced in the hall with his hands behind his back, looking very sad and resentful.

“unacceptable.”

“You simply don’t take me seriously.”

“I’m your father. You guys are so busy eating and drinking that you forgot about me, right?”

Zhang Ananda didn’t even dare to breathe.

He knew that His Majesty was very angry at the moment.

I knew that the Eastern Palace was holding a banquet and invited so many princes and princesses.

Your Majesty has no time to deal with government affairs.

From time to time, he would ask if anyone had come to the East Palace.

There is no need to speculate too much about what he is thinking.

Isn’t he just hoping that the East Palace will send someone to call him?

“Go and call Wu Cairen.”

“Yes!”

If you are angry, take it out on Wu Cairen.

……

After the kings and provincial governors arrived in Chang’an, it was the eighth day of the twelfth month in the twenty-second year of Zhenguan.

An article titled “Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial” appeared in the Tang Empire News.

This directly put an end to the endless debate in Chang’an about Gu Yuan’s actions that had lasted for several months.

Di Renjie wrote the story himself, after many revisions and adjustments.

Gu Yuan’s behavior is fully endorsed from the perspective of “loyalty and filial piety”.

The most authoritative thing is not the content of the article itself. After all, there is no best article. If you bring up the dilemma between loyalty and filial piety, people will still have angles to refute it.

This made them completely silent and they dared not argue anymore.

It is the name after the contributor.

Proofreading: Secretariat.

Review: Taiji Palace, East Palace.

In the correction column alone, the three words “Shangshu Sheng” represent the opinions of the central core.

Not to mention that the two palaces are on the review office.

The two refer to the Holy Emperor and the Crown Prince. Although they are not clearly signed, everyone knows the meaning.

The signal this sends is not to be too simplistic.

The fact that the Ministry of Chancellery proofread the article personally shows that the content of the article had been polished by them, and some parts were corrected by them personally.

It cannot be seen as written by Di Renjie alone, but rather a concentrated reflection of the court’s thoughts.

The two palaces reviewed it and understood that the Holy Emperor and the Crown Prince had personally come forward to express their stance on the investigation of the population and land.

This also clearly tells the world that the imperial court supports the tax commissioner’s investigation.

Gu Yuan became a typical figure of the Commissioner of Taxation.

It can be said that the significance and influence of this article are extremely far-reaching.

It is not as simple as unilaterally characterizing Gu Yuan’s behavior, but also to tell the world’s noble families that the court’s determination and will to investigate will not be shaken in any way.

It will be implemented thoroughly.

“Brother, this is pushing the aristocratic families into a corner.”

When Li Ke saw this article, he knew the deep meaning behind it and couldn’t help but sigh.

“Be careful that they may become desperate.”

Li Zhi also said, “Gu Yuan’s carriage was hit, which means they will do whatever it takes.”

Li Chengqian led them to walk in Tiangongyuan and asked, “What do you think of the Commissioner of Taxation?”

“I have no idea.”

Li You was very simple, “I unconditionally support whatever my father and brother want to do.”

Li Ke and Li Zhi also hurriedly agreed.

Actually, it’s nothing to them.

After all, Li Ke knew that he would be enfeoffed in Tianzhu.

What does the domestic land and population census have to do with him?

He was also aware of the dangers posed by the aristocratic families.

He was not dissatisfied with the court’s decision to do so.

He hoped that the more people he could find out, the more people he would have available in India.

“hateful.”

Li Jue made a discordant sound at this time, and everyone looked over in surprise, full of confusion.

Even Li Chengqian is the same.

He cared a little about Li Jue’s thoughts.

“Di Renjie, you have become famous this time.”

“You are a proofreader of the Ministry of Chancellery and a reviewer of the two palaces. What a great reputation you have…”

Li Jue shouted at Di Renjie angrily.

Forehead!
After all this time, Erlang is talking about this.

Come to think of it, Di Renjie really wanted to become famous throughout the world.

Who made the specifications of this article so high?

He also benefited from it.

After hearing this, Di Renjie blushed.

Li Chengqian almost laughed out loud. Would the future Di Pangpang actually blush because of this?
