56. Taiyuan Wang Family
Another court meeting.
Li Shimin summoned Xuanzang in an extraordinary manner, but on the grounds of banning the border, he refused Xuanzang's request to travel west to seek the Dharma.
Xuanzang left in disappointment.
Li Shimin knew that he would not be willing to stay in Chang'an. The purpose of this move was to force him to see Luo Taisui and see what connection there was between the two.
Of course, his "little spy" has already been in place... Li Lizhi now goes to Luo Mansion to "report" almost every day on the grounds of listening to stories.
Her marriage with Changsun Chong is considered a waste. Isn’t it too high that birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish leaps?
Li Shimin sometimes wondered whether the reason for refusing marriage would be the idea that Luo Taisui had come up with.
The good boy thought he was planning to be the five surnames and seven sects, but he, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, got into the trap together.
Li Shimin was both angry and funny.
never mind!
Let’s put Xiao Changle’s marriage aside for the time being.
Let's talk about it for two years.
Next is a series of good news.
Hu Yan, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, made a memorial, saying that with the joint efforts of the Ministry of Justice, all criminals have been detained in prison.
Of course, it also includes the small number of children from aristocratic families who cannot refuse the case.
The Sinong Temple Minister followed closely, and first announced that the price of COFCO had fallen below 50 cents of rice.
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been such a low grain price.
The people of Guanzhong were excited and rushed to tell each other, and they praised the imperial court for its series of disaster relief measures.
Then, the Sinong Temple Minister reported that a batch of 200,000 stones of grain was put into the warehouse, and the donor was...
Taiyuan Wang Family!
Everyone was shocked when they heard this news.
The Wang family in Taiyuan is also one of the five surnames and seven sects, so it is not difficult to understand that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty will have this reaction.
They all speculated that the five surnames and seven sects, which once hugged closely and dared to compete with the court, were finally not the same as one?
Fang Xuanling, who is more familiar with the five surnames and seven sects, revealed the reason.
It turns out that the five surnames and seven sects are mainly composed of the four surnames in Shandong, namely Cui, Lu, Li, and Zheng.
Cui family is divided into Qinghe Cui family and Boling Cui family.
The Li family here only refers to the Li family in Zhaojun.
However, when the four surnames were arranged, the Li family in Longxi joined the Wang family in Taiyuan, which led to the later theory of the five surnames and seven sects.
But by the early Tang Dynasty, the Wang family in Taiyuan gradually declined.
The Cui family in Qinghe married the Li family in Longxi and Lu family in Fanyang, while the Li family in Zhaojun married the Cui family in Boling for generations, and the Wang family in Taiyuan was marginalized.
In order to regain the glory of the past, the Wang family in Taiyuan donated grain.
On the one hand, it earns popularity among the people, and on the other hand, it is also showing goodwill to the Tang royal family in order to obtain better resources.
"Okay!" Li Shimin applauded on the spot.
As the child of Luo Taisui said, once someone among the five surnames and seven sects can't calm down and actively participates in "charity", the competition will begin.
The differentiation between the five surnames and seven sects began here.
So Li Shimin wrote on the spot "The Wang family in Taiyuan donated 200,000 stones of grain" and ordered people to post it on the red list.
Next, it depends on the reactions of other aristocratic races.
As the court meeting continued, Li Shimin handed over the "Hundred Family Surnames" to Gao Shilian and ordered him to deal with it together.
Woodblock printing is placed for implementation by the Ministry of Works.
Of course, there are also a series of personnel transfers.
Including Dai Zhou, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Procuratorate, also served as the Chief of the Procuratorate.
Li Jing, the Minister of Justice and the Secretary of the Procuratorate, temporarily led the Minister of War.
Liu Linfu, the Minister of Personnel, temporarily handled affairs of the Ministry of Personnel on behalf of Du Ruhui.
However, Du Ruhui was still in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and was exempted from his responsibility to be in charge of the Political Affairs Hall.
...
"If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next breakdown!"
After saying this, Luo Taisui pinched his voice that was about to smoke and looked for water to drink everywhere.
What kind of sin do this is done!
Since telling the simplified version of "Journey to the West" that day, the girl from the Li family has been clamoring to listen to stories every day.
Luo Taisui refused to follow, so she threatened Luo Taisui on the grounds that Luo Taisui did not rank Li in the first place by reciting "Hundred Family Surnames" that day!
If you want to inflict a crime, why not worry? Luo Taisui swears that he really wants to tell her about "Jin Ping Mei"...
But think about the woodblock printing templates of "Hundred Family Surnames" that have been handed over to the court by Pei Xingjian.
I hope those officials will only pay attention to the woodblock printing itself, rather than the "Hundred Family Names".
So now we must stabilize the Li girl and never make any noise, so as not to summon a disaster and implicate Pei Xingjian.
In fact, he is not familiar with "Journey to the West".
Fortunately, people in this era have never heard of it, so he can play freely.
"Tell me quickly! The monkey was expelled from the Seiyue Sanxing Cave. What happened later?" Li Lizhi urged.
Just as I was so impressed that Luo Datou was actually out of context. Is it tolerant? Who can't bear it?
"My aunt, a person is iron, and a meal is steel. I'm so hungry that I don't eat for a meal." Luo Taisui was so miserable, "If you don't eat enough, how can you tell you a story!"
"What iron or steel?" Li Lizhi had never heard anyone say that.
Luo Taisui was worried about how to explain to her, and the gate of Luo Mansion was knocked on at this time.
A cold figure appeared there.
"You're here."
Luo Taisui grinned.
Chapter completed!
