Chapter 211 Dismissal
After Chengtianmen left the palace city, Tang Li did not delay any more and went back to the house. After all, he was somewhat of accustomed to being guilty now, and it seemed that he was a little too sensitive to the Ministry of War at this time.
He did not go to the Ministry of War, nor to the Honglu Temple, which is still noisy now. After Tang Li slowly left the imperial city, he got into Xuanche and ordered him to go back to his house.
Sitting in the slightly shaking carriage, Tang Liyou sighed at his carelessness. An Shilushan was An Lushan. Even if he was preparing to rebel, he was a dormant poisonous snake. It seemed that there was no movement, but once he opened his mouth, it was amazingly toxic.
When the carriage arrived at the mansion, Tang Li did not return to the backyard directly after getting off the car. When he arrived at the third place, he turned to the study room.
As soon as they walked into the small side courtyard where the study was located, Tang Li saw that the stone locks had just been put down in the courtyard and the Liang Wang Li Rui. In this early spring weather, they were only wearing thin white sweat jackets, and their foreheads were covered with sweat beads, which was obviously the result of just after a lot of exercise.
When Tang Jiu, who was coaching these two men, stepped forward to greet him, Tang Li asked with a smile: "How is it? Are they still obedient?"
"As you are obedient, they are all competing! When you practice, you are afraid of falling behind. Li Rui is also very stubborn. It is not easy to be a prince's master to endure this suffering and be fair!" After watching the two of them explain with a smile, Tang Jiufu stuttered again: 'Young master, if you have anything to do, you have to tell me.'
Seeing Tang Jiu like this, Tang Li withdrew his gaze from his two children and said, "Tell me, what's the matter, don't you, mother-in-law."
Tighten the protective skin on his wrist, Tang Jiu said helplessly in his words: "Young Master, when the city was about to break through Jinzhou, Brother Qi asked me to protect Miss Baozhu and Miss Shuijing to leave. After I arrived at the government office, Miss Baozhu refused to say anything and insisted on going to find you. Seeing the situation urgent, I took the initiative to knock Miss Baozhu out. I also did this under the circumstance of my unscrupulous situation. Who knew... "
Seeing that Tang Jiu's tone was a little unhappy, Tang Li immediately followed up and said, "You did a good job in that situation that day, and it was just in line with my opinion. What's wrong with Baozhu?"
"No, nothing! My face has been bad since then since when Miss Baozhu saw me," Tang Jiu touched his head and said, "There are all good things in our mansion. Miss Baozhu... I always feel a little... Master, you have to talk to me when you are good."
Hearing Tang Jiu hesitated, it turned out that it was for this matter. Tang Li was in a bad mood and couldn't help but smile and said, "I understand, I'll just say it for you." After saying this, he patted Tang Jiu on the shoulder and then returned to the secretary with two children who had finished the exercise.
"How is it? How does it feel like practicing fist, foot, arch and horse? After Tang Li sat down in the study, he took the tea handed over by hazelnuts and asked the little ponytianer and the others with You Zihong's face.
"Brother-in-law, I am strong, but Li Rui is better at riding and shooting than me." As he spoke, he looked at his round body, and Xiaopangqiuer said helplessly: "I'm a little fatter, but my body is not as flexible as him."
Seeing Xiaopang's appearance, even Tang Li stood beside him. Hazelnut couldn't help but cover his lips and smiled. On the other hand, Li Rui patted Zheng Peng's shoulder and said, "Master, although I practiced better on riding, Fatball has worked harder than me."
Seeing their natural intimacy, seeing that Zheng Peng was not in conflict with Li Rui's title of "Fat Ball", Tang Li smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, Rui'er said this with the style of an elder brother. As long as Peng'er is willing to work hard, he may not be worse than Rui'er in the future!" While speaking, Tang Li stood up and held a tea cup to carry the water in the tea cup of the two of them and said, "Heaven will give a great responsibility to this person, and he must first work hard! I let you and the two practice boxing, footing, arching and horses with Tang He. It is important to strengthen their body, but more importantly, I hope to use this to temper their minds and natures. You are both from precious families, especially Rui'er was born in a deep palace since childhood and was good at being a woman. His temperament is inevitably weaker. Taking this opportunity to practice hard. Compared with boxing, footing, arching and horses, I hope to see you persist, and only in this way can it play a role in tempering their minds and natures."
"Student remember!" Tang Li accidentally showed off his teacher's appearance while speaking. After Li Rui and the other two finished speaking, they also went to the casualness of their past relationship and respected him with the etiquette of their teachers.
Just as he sighed intently, Tang Li, who was "a man who can teach" was about to speak, he saw a servant running out of the study and handed over a famous sect saying that there was an official from the Honglu Temple outside the mansion. Please see him.
After instructing the servant to invite someone to meet in the study, Tang Li saw Xiaopangqiu and the others going, so he casually said, "It doesn't matter, just stay here and listen."
The Lifan Yuanling who came to visit the door was a middle-aged man in his forties. As a civil servant, he had a typical military body and was full of energy when speaking. Chen Yuanling seemed to be an urgent person. After greeting and watching the seat and serving tea, he spoke directly without taking a long turn: "The Xiaguan visited the door this time for the advice of the Shaoqing."
Unable to figure out the purpose of this person, Tang Li could only respond: "Oh!"
"The officials in the lower level are low and have never attended the meeting of the adults. However, after hearing the adults' opinions, I only felt that some Dharma is a good idea, so I took the liberty to come to my door and wanted to ask Mr. Shaoqing to do so without avoiding everyone's doubts and fears, and to promote it with all my might." Chen Yuanling, who was impatient, became a little excited as he spoke.
Looking at Chen Yuanling sitting with a golden sword in front of him, Tang Li felt that this person was really an anomaly. As a lower official, he came to the door to comment on Shangguan's proposal. Most people really couldn't do such a thing.
He heard that he praised his opinion very much. Tang Li couldn't figure out whether he was flattering Shangguan or really realized that this strategy was good, so he was not in a hurry to speak out, but just looked at Chen Yuanling with a smile.
"Inspection, the 'Ban Envoy,' is really a pleasure. The officials have long been unable to get used to those 'Ban Envoys'. Why should the court raise them for free? Just to bring a letter and a sentence, he dares to take the imperial court's monthly payment and linger in various families every day. If compared with them, wouldn't the officials betray the loss? Therefore, the Lord ordered the 'Ban Envoys' to be investigated, which is really satisfying!" At this point, Chen Yuanling actually laughed a few times. His behavior only made Li Rui and Xiaopang Qiuer, who were standing behind Tang Li, look at each other, and then endured their lips and smiled.
After laughing for a moment, Chen Yuanling directly looked at Tang Li and said, "Sir, what do you think is to send envoys to all the long-term garrisons on a large scale?"
Chen Yuanling was so early that he was very early. A word made Tang Li, who had not interrupted much, lean over and replied: "I have never said such a thing during the meeting. Where did Chen Yuanling say this?"
The conversation lasted for more than an hour before it ended. More time was spent talking about Chen Yuanling, and Tang Li just listened quietly. After the conversation, Tang Li's relatives sent Chen Yuanling to the door of the mansion and watched the donkey cart he hired to leave and then turned back.
Tang Li’s actions only made the servants at the door confused. Seeing that Chen Yuanling was just a seventh-rank official who didn’t even have an official car, why was he worthy of his young master’s attention?
Tang Li naturally didn't know the thoughts of the disciple. At this time, he was walking towards the study with Xiaopangqiu and his two who were accompanying him to see him off. "What do you two think of this person?"
"This is very reckless! There is no reason to speak, one sentence in another," Xiaopang Qiuer said this. He couldn't help laughing again and said, "This Chen Yuanling, as an official, will definitely not attract Shangguan to like it."
Upon hearing this, Tang Li did not comment, but turned his gaze to Li Rui.
Seeing that Tang Li had no joke on his face, Li Rui accepted the smile that rose with Xiaopang'er and pondered for a moment: "Although Chen Yuanling's words are a bit scattered, what he said is very special. Unlike many officials who speak in a false voice, what he is even more rare is that he can spend five years in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to investigate the political affairs of the neighboring countries. According to the students, there are not many scholars in my court who can do this."
"Rui'er said yes!" After nodding and applauding, Tang Lixu asked again: "What do you two think of the opinions in your words?"
Li Rui and the other two were only thirteen or fourteen years old, and they were not talented and experienced enough, so how could they comment on Chen Yuanzheng's idea? After thinking for a while, they heard the little fat man hesitate and said: "A few days ago, I heard my uncle telling history in Wangchuan. In fact, most of my Central Plains dynasties and the foreign countries were suppressed when they were strong, and when they were weak and hot, they mainly defended the border and protected the border. In short, military courage was first. However, Chen Yuanling said that trade and the outbreak of knowledge should be used as a means to slowly plan it. Honglu Temple also sent people to build four schools to teach Taoism and Confucianism in Zhufan. I don't know whether it is good or bad, but I just think what Chen Yuanling said is indeed unprecedented.
The fat man said this. Li Rui on the other side nodded, and Tang Li still did not comment on Zheng Peng's statement. After walking a few steps in silence, he said lightly: "Since the founding of Xia, the Shang and Zhou dynasties have passed since the present, the war between our Central Plains dynasty and the neighboring monks has stopped one day, and it has been fought for so many years but what if I have fought for so many years? I ask you, if my neighboring monks in the Tang Dynasty can really do the job of Chen Yuan, what is the general garment of the Tang people, learn from the Tang people, and what the Tang people say, what is this scene?"
"Participate the clothes of the Tang people, learn the learning of the Tang people, and speak the words of the Tang people!" After murmured this sentence repeatedly, Li Rui said in a slightly hesitant tone: "Master, you also agree with what Chen Yuanling said."
"This may not be necessary!" Tang Li smiled slightly while walking with his hands behind his back and said, "It is natural to be brave enough to deal with neighboring foreigners alone, but the propositions that Chen Yuanling said are naturally not enough. However, these statements today coincide with what I thought. Honglu Temple should not be like this now." At this point, Tang Li lowered his voice and said, "Wear the clothes of the Tang people, learn the learning of the Tang people, and say "Okay, with the prosperity of the Tang people today, assimilation is more effective than conquering by force!"
"Assimilation? What is assimilation?" Li Rui's ears are extremely sensitive.
"Assimilation is what Chen Yuanling said about the learning of Tang people, learning of Tang people, and talking about the words of Tang people." As if they were afraid that the two of them would not understand, Tang Li added: "In short, even Li Rui was shocked by this sentence, and was stunned for a moment and said: "Is this possible?"
"I don't know either!" With a calm smile, Tang Li said as he walked: "Ningju Chang's name is not the king of the country. I only know that all the people in the foreign gang yearn for Chang'an and the Tang Dynasty. I only know that all the princes and nobles of the foreign gang are dressed in Tang clothes and said that they are proud of Tang Dynasty. I only know that more and more envoys of the various foreign gangs are condemning Tang Dynasty. Knowing these, Chen Yuanling's proposal has a foundation for implementation."
"Don't these people envy me for the wealth of the Tang Dynasty!" After saying this with a gloomy face, Li Rui hesitated again: "It's just that if you want to do this, how long will it take!"
"I don't know how long it takes to take the police!"
"I don't know how long it will take, but I know it will definitely be very long." Looking at Xiaopangqiu and the others listening to their words, Tang Li also smiled slightly and said: "If you can't completely defeat the enemy, the best way is to turn them into your own people. Although this method takes a long time, it is the best way to deal with border problems."
"If you can't defeat your enemy, turn him into your own person." After repeating it, Li Rui looked at Tang Li, he heard that the teacher was talking to himself rarely, while he talked to himself. The content was an unprecedented country of verbalism. "Cultural conquest!"
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Xuanzong's edict arrived at the Tang Mansion that afternoon. There were many reproaches in the edict. With the removal of the official position of Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, Tang Li's salary was also suspended for a year.
The issuance of this sudden edict shocked the imperial city, and many speculated on the speculation about what the popular emperor's favorite minister had touched such a heavy point. Among them, there were people who were familiar with Tang Li's temper who were gloating and waiting to see how the top scholar who was so revengeful should fight back. But what was beyond their expectations was that both the court and Tang Li's reaction to this matter were surprisingly calm. He neither saw any arguments on this matter in the court meeting nor did he see any abnormal actions of Tang Zhuangyuan.
There was no movement in the court, and the victim himself was so calm again. After a while of discussion, this matter slowly faded because there was no fresh seasoning. While Tang Li disappeared from the population discussion, as time passed, many people believed in their hearts that the first-time top scholar, who was originally very popular, had completely lost their favor this time. In contrast, the first-class mansion, which was originally a warm family, gradually became deserted.
In this way, the days passed day by day, spring and summer solstice, and it seemed that the season had reached midsummer in a blink of an eye, and at this time the deadline for Fan Yang to dispatch troops to Longxi was getting closer and closer...
