Chapter 7 Contribution to auspiciousness

When Song Bo heard Cheng Chuan's silently telling the truth that the emperor would definitely not see him. The Tang Dynasty Palace, Tai Chi Hall, and Emperor Tang Li Shimin was meeting the ministers. If Song Bo was there, he would be very surprised, because there were at least thousands of people here. They were kneeling in both civil and military squads. The same was true for the emperor. In fact, people were kneeling at that time. This is more formal. Look at the Little Japanese version. Many of their conservatives still knelt. It is said that this was learned from the Han people in the Tang Dynasty. If the author was afraid of entering this Tai Chi Hall, I would definitely think that I had entered the US Congress.

"Well, the Fang Qing family will do this. Ah, by the way, Fang Qing family, I think you only have a monogamous family and no one takes care of you. How about giving you two palace maids?" It seems that Li Er is also unreliable. After talking about the main business, he thinks to give away women to his subordinates (whatever can win over).

"Ah, this priest, I have a headache recently. My youngest son in the family is naughty and has been running away from home for half a year. He has no intention of taking care of other private matters. I'm afraid I'm sorry for your kindness." Although I don't want it (mainly because my wife doesn't want it), I can't refuse directly. I can only use the excuse Fang Er to run away from home.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report to you." Li Shimin saw that the good guy was this old guy. It was so annoying. Who are you? The person who said that it was Wei Zheng. Because he suppressed the Shandong family in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, most Shandong families were civilians or minor officials. From this point of view, Lu Song, as a member of the Lu family in Fanyang, was definitely not a simple person at the age of thirty. The only representative of these Shandong people and the most famous representative was Wei Zheng. Therefore, when Wei Zheng advised Li Shimin, he had to consider the benefits of his hometown people.

Although he was unhappy, Li Er still smiled and said, "What's the matter? My dear, just report it."

"Report to my Lord Long Live (learned in storytelling) Three months ago, someone paid tribute to Xiangrui in Fengzhou, southern Fujian, and was a descendant of Phoenix. He had arrived in the capital yesterday. I don't know that Long Live (I didn't call it that during the Tang Dynasty. It is said that it was only used by the emperor after the Yuan and Ming dynasties) to summon him?" Wei Zheng is worthy of being from Hebei, taking care of the Hebei fellow villager Lu Song. The emperor planned to make jokes and ignore this matter, so he directly pulled the emperor back. Then Li Er knew that the contribution of Xiangrui was coming, but he just broke the news and refused to mention the summoning.

However, it was not Li Er who "don't like" this auspiciousness alone. When Wei Zheng finished speaking, someone objected. "Long live the report, I have to report it. The matter reported by the Fengzhou County Magistrate did not get approved. He went to Beijing privately. He should punish him for deceiving the emperor." The speaker was Cheng Yaojin, a serious Shandong native.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan to report..."

"The Lord..."

...

For a moment, the hall was full of opposition. Changsun Wuji, who was originally a representative of the Longyou family, had no taste in his heart when he saw it. There was no fool who could be in the court, and anyone could see it. Cheng Yaojin was just a messing stick. He disturbed this matter. Originally, everyone (the Longyou family) planned to ignore this matter, but it really couldn't be done. He raised it high and let it go gently, but who knew that before he and others said anything, they were snatched by Cheng Yaojin first.

I knew that the court or the Li family spared no effort to attack the Shandong family in the early years of the Tang Dynasty. This time, the Lu family in Hebei was going to show off, of course, it would be a blow. But Cheng Yaojin spoke out against everyone, and the objection was to enter Beijing without authorization. This was not easy to deal with. This crime was auspicious and auspicious. But it was necessary to jump over directly, but it was not possible. Because the people in the entire hall began to discuss whether this should be punished. After taking a deep breath, Changsun Wuji stood up.

"Master, I have a foundation to report." As soon as I made a sound, the entire hall became quiet.

"Oh? Auxiliary machine," the emperor was waiting for someone to rescue the situation. "Speak quickly."

"Long live, now it is the twelfth lunar month. It is the time for officials who have expired to report their duties in Beijing. As far as I know, Lu Song is right to have his term of office expired. It is time to report his duties in Beijing. As for the auspiciousness mentioned, I remember that in the Shanhai Jing, there is a bird, whose shape is like a crane...it is called a phoenix...it is a bird, which drinks and eats, sings and dances, and the world will be peaceful.' And "Er Ya·Shi Bird": 'Phoenix, its female emperor.' Guo Pu's note: 'Phoenix, auspicious bird. The head of the chicken, the neck of the snake, the jaw, the back of the turtle, the five colors, and it is about six feet high.' In this regard, the emu tributed by Lu Song this time is undoubtedly a phoenix. Although the people of the Jin people said this to be an ostrich, it was just a new name." When Changsun Wuji said that the people from the Longyou family who originally opposed it also catered to it. It seemed that the people who had opposed the tribute were others.

There is a slang in the United States that "if you can't beat it, join it." Changsun Wuji obviously understood this truth deeply. If he really couldn't object, he would just help them. Instead, he could make a wise man. The key is that those fools (when Cheng Yaojin reported the matter, a considerable number of Longyou families supported him) also opposed it together when Cheng Yaojin opposed it.

"Well. It's reasonable and well-founded. Let Lu Song come in and present the phoenix." When he finished speaking, Emperor Taizong seemed to remember something: "I found that the phoenix seemed to be a businessman who returned from overseas, right? Let the businessman meet with him."

"Sage, I have something to say." The person who spoke was Cheng Yaojin, who was the son-in-law of the Pei family, a famous family member of the Shandong gentry who changed his name to Cheng Zhijie.

"Tell me quickly." Li Er retreated anxiously.

"Then the merchants don't have to meet, right? Merchants compete with the people for profit and raise prices. The right to meet with him will give him a sense of valuing business. So I think you shouldn't meet the merchant surnamed Song. If the merchant values ​​profit, just give some money." Cheng Yaojin used his name to express his thoughts directly. However, Wei Zheng was even more direct.

"The Lord, the merchant should not meet him. Now is the time for large-scale agriculture, and merchants must first suppress him. Seeing him will indeed have a certain impact on agriculture. So no matter where he looks, he should not meet him. Cheng Jun is right. Merchants value profits and reward more money."

"Yes, the lord, the merchant values ​​profit..."

The Tang Dynasty also flattered many officials? Actually, it is not. However, the Tang Dynasty ruled the world with aristocratic families. Ninety-nine percent of these officials were from aristocratic families. As long as the issue was agreed, it would be a response.

"Well, just get him a few hundred stale money and invite Lu Song to meet him."
