Chapter 105: Legends

Many years later, the people of Jincheng would often mention to their juniors with great interest the vision of heaven and earth that happened in the autumn of the third year of the Heavenly Grant, and with great awe, they excitedly described the extraordinary heroic appearance of His Majesty the Emperor when he descended on this dark land.

In their tireless narration, the great emperor who brought great blessings to this land, made the common people have enough food and clothing, and allowed the countryside to stay closed at night, has a majestic body as high as a hundred feet, and exudes a divine light that people can't help but worship.

In particular, a pair of breathtaking eyes, bigger than the city gate hole, brighter than the sun.

The sword of the Son of Heaven in His Majesty's hand shines like a galaxy, and with a wave at will, the sword qi is three thousand miles long. All the rebels and thieves in this land will be wiped out in this sword, and the loyal people who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty will not be affected in any way, and will only feel like a spring breeze.

The guards surrounding His Majesty's seat are all like gods, and they are invincible.

In order to prove their own concepts, the old people will also swear that the strongest group of great monks in Jincheng, those powerful people in the fish and meat township, exploiting the people, robbing people's wives and hurting people's lives at every turn, just flew off the ground, and were cut into a blood mist by His Majesty's guards.

As for the so-called King of Silla, who had impure blood, stole high positions, and exercised brutal rule over the people, he just yelled at our Supreme Majesty, and before he could draw his sword and make a move, he was seen by His Majesty's gaze and fell down on the spot, and his soul was destroyed!

The stories of His Majesty the Emperor are always told by the old people who bask in the sun under the eaves, and the juniors who eat round and chubby always can't get enough of it.

As for some sloppy madmen who haunt the dark and damp streets and alleys all the year round, have no clothes to cover their bodies, do not have enough food, and their faces are withered like ghosts, they will jump out and scold the old people for forgetting their ancestors, and cry bitterly to tell the children not to be confused by that devil, and to remember that when they recreate the glory of the Silla Dynasty, they will only get the eyes of the old people and children.

If they are in a good mood, the old people will send two steamed buns to disperse these beggars who don't know what to say, and if they are in a bad mood, the old people will open their throats and shout, call Fang Ding and Wu Hou, and send these strange people who slander the beautiful society to prison.

The children always have a lot of questions, and it is not that no one doubts the old people's telling, and every now and then, the angry old people will pull the ears of those children, take them to the Taoist temple or temple in the workshop, and point to the murals on the whole wall, so that they can see it clearly and clearly.

Those huge murals record the scene of Jincheng ushering in a new day: the rolling green clouds, His Majesty Shenwu carrying the bright light, the emperor's seat guards with swords, the wicked monks who were killed on the spot, their faces twisted and frightened, and the king of Silla who fell straight to the ground, and the people who knelt down all over the city.

At this time, seeing the children's mouths wide open, surprised, reverent, and worshipful, the old people will nod with satisfaction and relief.

Then, they always ended their day's education work with a similar sentence: "On that day, Your Majesty sent the corrupt and sinful Silla Dynasty to the dark apocalyptic world, but brought us light and new life! Children, you must study and practice well, and only when you grow up and become talented in the future can you serve the glorious Tang Dynasty and be loyal to our great emperor, Your Majesty!"

......

With the slaughter of Jin Yao, Zhen Xuan, and the capital of the Later Baekje king, Wansanju, and the capital of the Silla king, the civil and military generals and great monks who disobeyed the Tang Dynasty were slaughtered, and the two countries could no longer occupy each of them in the Tang army

When the city is built, organize an effective resistance.

Although sporadic troublemakers are still inevitable, in the face of the general trend, they are destined to be just a small wave in the sea, and they will be extinguished by the Tang Army's ironclad sea.

After the Tang army occupied the main city, it immediately disarmed the original army in the city with the cooperation of the monks of the Tsing Yi Yamen, and concentrated the soldiers in custody. Later, the civil officials in charge of local government affairs arrived, inspected the household registers, inspected the localities, re-measured the land, and then assigned fields to the soldiers according to the specific situation, so that most of them could be discharged and returned to the fields.

After all kinds of affairs, it is not possible to straighten out in three or five months, and most of the civil affairs errands are cumbersome and meticulous, which requires a lot of energy from the officials.

Fortunately, with 100,000 troops stationed on the peninsula and presiding over the overall situation, there will be no chaos, and then a part of the original local army will be selected to help the Tang army maintain local order, and the prefectures and counties will gradually return to stability.

Li Ye no longer has to do these things himself, and the civilian officials brought by the army do not need to be assigned by him one by one if they want to go to the localities, what he really needs to do is to rebuild the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate and select the main officials and generals of the Metropolitan Protectorate.

The candidate for the protector of the capital is naturally Zhao Poyu, and Silla was initially decided, and he still needs to be stationed here with a large army for a period of time, but he doesn't care about civil affairs, and the leading civil official is Zhang Wence.

In the first two years, Zhang Wence served as the envoy of the Southern Zhao Propaganda Mission, and he was very familiar with the errands of the people after the war. Silla was "unkingly" and needed an officer with outstanding and experienced skills to preside over the overall situation and solve various problems.

Zhang Wence has done a good job of errands over the years, and his personal growth is very fast, as a scholar, he was originally suspected of being too "moral", and after Nanzhao was taught a lesson by Wang Jian, he is now a well-known iron-blooded civil official.

He is very experienced in the management and education of people outside the territory, especially when he should be gracious. Before the Battle of Silla, Li Ye summoned him and asked him about how to quickly educate the people of Silla, and only after receiving a satisfactory answer did he decide to let him take charge of the political affairs of Silla.

In today's Tang Dynasty, Prime Minister Cui Keli and Tongzhongshu Pingzhangshi Li Zhen are undoubtedly the leaders of civil officials. However, as the pillar of the society, they need to sit in the center, and they will not leave Chang'an easily.

Represented by Zhang Wence, a group of talented young officials are now the backbone of the imperial civil and official groups. Most of them have experienced the Pinglu period, and in the process of Li Ye's southern expedition to the north and the pacification of the country, they have gained many opportunities for training.

The power of this stratum is very huge, and wherever the elite divisions of the Tang Dynasty plant the battle flag, they can follow the past to govern it in time, completely turn it into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and completely turn the people there into the people under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Further down, there are students from Chang'an Cultivation Academy, and Zhang Changan is one of the representatives. Compared with Zhang Wence's predecessors, their talents are more comprehensive and comprehensive, and their minds are more open-minded, and they don't have so much Confucian breath on their bodies, and they are even more unscrupulous in doing things.

There are certainly pros and cons to this. Courage and diligence and relative independence of thought are their biggest characteristics, but without Confucian beliefs and Confucian atmosphere, the moral standards in their hearts are low, and it is easier to become traitorous ministers and corrupt officials than the scholars of Confucianism in Qingzhou.

However, whether an official becomes a traitor or a corrupt official, although the moral realm, belief and belief are the foundation, but they are only part of the factors, and the most important thing is the restriction of the country's laws and the guidance of officialdom. For the latter, Li Ye has sufficient control ability.

From Li Zhen, Cui Keli, to Zhang Wence, Zhang Zhongsheng, and then to Zhang Changan,

This is the three levels of today's Tang Dynasty civil officials, with a complete system, profound heritage, and successors, which ensures that the Tang Dynasty can be stable and prosperous for a long time.

As for the direction of Silla's governance, in Li Ye's plan, the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate was also temporary. The land of Silla will sooner or later become an ordinary state and county under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

For him personally, expanding the territory and opening up the territory and making more people turn their hearts to the Tang Dynasty is also related to the improvement of the realm of cultivation.

After clearly feeling that Da Luo Jinxian was not the ceiling of the monk realm, Li Ye had the idea of going to see the scenery of the saint realm, so he needed the power of more people's luck. For this reason, the conquest of Silla and the Wa Kingdom was not the end, but only the beginning.

Li Ye's real appearance in Silla was just to determine the overall situation, and of course he would not stay for too long. With his current strength, it doesn't take much time to travel from place to place, and even if there is something on the front line that requires him to come forward, he can quickly get to where he is needed.

The Tang Dynasty went to conquer Silla and the Wa Kingdom, but even Shangguan Chengcheng was not used, and naturally it was not the turn of King Qi to come forward. During this time, the Qiwang Mansion next door to the Lao'an Wangfu was not idle for a moment, and the chickens and dogs were jumping all day long.

The reason is that King Qi, who is idle, recently didn't know that nerve was wrong, and he actually found Qinglou Qingqi'er, who was the best at singing and dancing in Chang'an City, to teach her music and singing.

Li Ye came out of the palace to the Qiwang Mansion very often, and naturally he didn't need any car to drive the honor guard, and when he walked into the moon gate in a white dragon fish suit, he saw a hot scene in the courtyard.

The warbler Yanyan, who was dressed up in flowers, was commanded by King Qi, who was standing on the platform with one hand on his waist, and his feet did not touch the ground, either holding a fan or dragging his water sleeves in his hands, and the two charming-looking Qingqier on the side were whispering all kinds of suggestions to King Qi, who was not very satisfied with his own singer.

Noticing that Li Ye entered the door, King Qi waved his hand, signaling that the two well-known Qing Qi'er in Chang'an would continue to practice with the big guys, and he beckoned Li Ye to sit behind the food table on the side.

Qing Qi'er naturally saw Li Ye, but she didn't care much, the people who could talk to King Qi's peers, they were not qualified to take the initiative to come to the ceremony, and as for the singers newly bought by Li Maozhen, they also didn't know Li Ye's identity.

"Why are you suddenly interested in music and dance?" Li Ye threw a grape into his mouth, and seeing that King Qi was busy and his face was flushed, it was obvious that he was very concerned about these things, so he asked curiously.

In addition to the court meeting and handling government affairs, Li Ye rarely stayed in the palace, after all, he didn't have anything to do with himself, either he went to the six departments of the three provinces to drink tea with Cui Keli and Li Zhen, and went out of the city to play around with the order of the eldest young secretary, or went to the Qiwang Mansion to find Li Maozhen.

Compared with the first two, Li Ye prefers to come to the Qi Palace, and the King of Qi, who is very arrogant when he leaves the battlefield, is always full of vitality, even if Li Ye becomes the emperor, he is lightly spoken by Li Ye, and he is not ambiguous when he should give Li Ye a roll of his eyes, and he will still push Li Ye to the kitchen when he is greedy, and he will never give in when he fights wine.

Messing around with such a King of Qi, Li Ye has always been relaxed and happy, and when he is tired of dealing with national affairs, he will come to King Qi's Mansion to adjust his mood.

King Qi stopped feeding grapes to his mouth, and said slowly, "Do you think I have a problem learning music and dance?"

Li Ye tasted the fresh grapes that had just been put on the market this autumn, and said without thinking about it: "That's something that only ordinary women like, you are a famous general of the battlefield and the vassal king of the dynasty, I'm afraid it is not easy to control these meticulous work, right?"

As soon as Li Ye said this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and sure enough, King Qi listened to his words, and immediately raised his eyebrows, glared at him viciously, and bit his cheek and said, "You don't think I'm like a woman?"
