Chapter XVIII
As soon as Li Longji made up his mind, the resolute side of the Congo was also reflected, and he said: "Lux, grind for me." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Gao Lishi immediately took the blank edict and spread it out in front of the emperor, skillfully studied the ink, and handed the brush stained with ink to Li Longji.
Li Longji wrote straight and wrote in the edict: "Today, the locust plague in Longyou is prevalent, and for the sake of the disaster, I pity the suffering of the people. If a disaster strikes from heaven, I will be the Son of Heaven, and one person will receive it. ”
He pressed his big seal and handed it to Yao Chongdao: "Yao Gong, do you think it's okay?" ”
Yao Chong took Li Longji's edict and watched Li Longji add Pei Min as Longyou's envoy, and couldn't help but feel a burst of envy in his eyes.
Even he, who has been the prime minister above 10,000 people under one person, can't help but envy when he sees this appointment.
What is the position of the Inspector?
According to the inspection envoy, it was established in the early years of the Tang Dynasty to imitate the history system of Han thorns, and was responsible for the inspection of various provinces and the assessment of officials, but in the second year of Jingyun of Tang Ruizong, it was set up as a permanent official.
According to the inspection, it is actually another level of moderation.
Jiedu is in charge of the local military and has the privilege of military exclusivity.
According to the inspector, he is responsible for controlling the local assassin history, and he is actually the superior of the assassin history of each state, and he also has the right to cut first and then play, and he is the "emperor" on the head of the assassin history of each state.
Once this appointment is issued, it means that Pei Min not only has a military specialty, but can control the life and death of military generals. It also has the power to deal with all the civil officials in Longyou, and it is not easy for the defending king of Longyou to hold the military and political power of the entire Longyou.
What a majesty that is, Yao Chong boasted that in the past, one person was above ten thousand people, but he did not do so.
But now is an extraordinary time, and there is no scruple about doing extraordinary things, and there is no objection.
Li Longji did not hesitate to pass the letter of appointment to the prime ministers of the three provinces, in accordance with the rules of the court. The appointment of the emperor must be sealed by the prime minister before it can take effect.
As soon as this edict reached Menxia Province, the Huangmen Shilang and Tongziwei Huangmen Pingzhang Shiyuan Qianyao saw the edict and couldn't help but be surprised.
Frightened, he hurriedly gathered all the prime ministers together to discuss together.
"This, Tairong is too spoiled!" Lu Huaishen's mouth was full of jealousy, Li Longji didn't listen to him, and he was really embarrassed to promote opponents who disobeyed him many times with such fanfare.
Yuan Qianyao also said: "I also think that Pei Guogong is certainly a handsome man in the world, and his martial arts are indeed remarkable. But this festival envoy and the envoy according to the inspection are in the same person, which is rare in ancient times, or even none. It is not easy to transfer to the king, and even more powerful than the king. ”
The disadvantages of the feudal system have long been revealed, so the sons of the emperors, although they have the title of prince, do not actually have the power of a prince.
As soon as this appointment is reached, Pei Min is more powerful than the king at this time.
The prime ministers also looked at each other speechlessly, and they all saw the shock in each other's eyes.
After half a ring, Yuan Qianyao said bitterly: "A certain person is shallow in learning, I really don't know if this seal should be stamped!" I hope that the public will give you advice......"
Ziwei Shilang and Tongping Zhangshi Su Ying frowned and said, "I thought that this precedent could not be opened!" ”
"And the barge?" Yuan Qianyao asked trivia.
The people were no more silent.
It is true that the prime minister has the power to reject the emperor's holy decree, which Wei Zheng often did in the early years.
So angry that Li Shimin blew his beard and stomped his feet many times, but he just didn't change this rule. Li Shimin is well versed in the way of checks and balances, the emperor is above tens of thousands of people, if there is no one to check and balance, if it is a mediocre master, it will cause chaos in the world.
So the prime minister has the power to check and balance the emperor!
However, although the prime minister has the power to reject the emperor's edict, the emperor has the power to abolish the prime minister.
Li Longji is not Li Shimin, they are not Wei Zheng.
If Li Longji is angered and their phase is abolished, it will be a big loss.
"It's printed!" In the end, Prime Minister Song Jing, who had not spoken, spoke: "Now is an extraordinary time, and the disaster in Longyou is serious. In case of disaster, it is unimaginable. ”
Lu Huaishen muttered: "Just that kid, if it is really like the accident of Han Zhao and Liu Cong in the past, wouldn't it be a disaster." ”
Song Jing said: "When it comes to merit, except for Yao Xiang in the Kaiyuan Dynasty, who can compare with Guogong?" He was so sure that he should have his own magic method. We are far away in Chang'an, so we can only wait and see. Moreover, this is already the case, and no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be. ”
Lu Huaishen was also speechless.
Yuan Qianyao finally stamped the phase seal.
The emperor issued an edict and the prime minister signed it.
The appointment came into effect.
**********
Shanzhou!
Although all localities were extremely uncooperative, Pei Min still used the Longyou Army to exterminate the locusts within his ability, and also carefully paid attention to all the movements of the locusts.
Locusts are social insects that involuntarily swarm with each other, gathering more and more until they devour the vegetation and trees in one place, and then they will sweep away together towards the grassy area.
Usually by this time, their numbers will be in the tens of millions.
If the locust legions of several states and counties gather, it will be hundreds of millions, and they will keep eating and giving birth to their young.
The most terrifying thing is that the hotter the weather, the faster the locusts will grow. A larva can grow into an adult in less than seven days in the heat.
In response to this situation, Pei Min divided the Longyou army into two groups, one group to hunt and kill, and the other wave of investigation, exploring all parts of Longyou to find large-scale locust gatherings.
If you find locusts that have gathered in one place on a large scale, immediately notify the killing team to kill them.
With limited manpower, Pei Min can only choose to cull the locusts that gather together, and he can't do carpet extermination.
Rao is like this, Pei Min has a feeling of insufficient manpower.
The locusts are not exhausted, but they give people the illusion that they are killing more and more, and the soldiers gradually feel a little weak in their hearts, and some are worried that they will kill too much and suffer retribution.
Pei Min once again emphasized to Zhang Jiuling: "Tell all the soldiers that locusts are not killed more and more, but they are not killed as fast as they grow, so there are more and more illusions. If they are not killed, the consequences will be far more terrible than they are now, and the soldiers must not be affected by this unhealthy heresy. ”
"Yes!" Zhang Jiuling hadn't slept well for a few days, and stared at the dark circles under his eyes.
Su Qi, the locust catcher, walked into the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion with an indignant face, looked at Pei Min and sighed and said: "The history of the assassination and the long history took the people to sacrifice to the sky, and I don't know what tricks are sacrificed. ”
The locust catcher envoy was appointed from the Yushitai, which was Pei Min's hometown, and after the new locust catcher issued Li Longji's appointment, he immediately came to visit his old boss.
Pei Min thought that Longyou was saved at first, but as a result, they all played the drama of resisting the book.
Pei Min smiled coldly when he heard this, and said, "I don't understand this, show sincerity." Even if Shanzhou is destroyed, the people will see their hard work, and they can also shift the responsibility to me and let me bear the blame. ”
I'm talking!
A shout came from outside the house: "The Holy Decree has arrived!" ”
