Chapter 14 Plans and Changes

The poisonous wound on Zhang Shoujue's body had not healed, and in the face of Pei Min's "aggressiveness", in a hurry, the old injury recurred, and he fell ill on the couch.

Calling Zhang Kang to him, Zhang Shouqi said weakly: "Kang'er, you have always been wise, what do you think of the current situation?" ”

Zhang Kang said angrily: "My father-in-law is seriously ill, how can he travel far?" The child is willing to go to Chang'an instead of his father-in-law, I don't believe it, our father and son are loyal to the country, and Pei Min can still kill us. ”

He looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

Zhang Kang's play is really good.

Zhang Shouqi didn't doubt him at all, and said with a long sigh: "Pei Min is not easy to bluff, today he dares to show troops in Daizhou, and tomorrow he will dare to cut off our rations." Our Northeast Army has been in battle for a long time, and when it comes to strength, my father believes that it is no less than Pei Min's Helong soldiers, but the land in the north is barren, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the grain and grass are insufficient. Once Pei Min is cut off from the sound of military rations, we will fall into a mortal situation, and we have no chance of winning. This time it is imperative to be a father, and there is no way to leave it. ”

It was precisely because Zhang Kang knew this that he dared to say that he was acting on his behalf, and in the same way, he pretended to say: "That's it, father-in-law, the child will go with you, and there will be a care along the way." ”

"No!" Zhang Shouqi immediately refused, and said in a loud voice: "Pei Min, that bastard, he has 200,000 soldiers in four towns, not to mention, I only have 100,000 on my side, and he actually suspects me of having different intentions?" Once our father and son go to Chang'an, there must be no return, and their lives are in danger. At that time, the Northeast Army will be leaderless, and it will only cheapen that bastard for nothing. My son is in the Northeast, and going to Chang'an for my father also has a layer of protection. ”

Zhang Kang looked worried and said, "But the child is not worried about his father-in-law!" ”

Zhang Shouqi was only full of emotion in his heart, and comforted: "My son can rest assured, Chang'an is not a tiger's den in Longtan, why haven't you seen any wind and waves for my father?" I don't believe it, he Pei Min can cover the sky with one hand! ”

Zhang Kang looked worried, but said in his heart: "Whether Chang'an is a tiger's den in Longtan, Lao Tzu doesn't know, but you old thing, if you go, don't think about coming back." ”

Even a top-notch figure like Li Longji was confused by his acting skills, let alone Zhang Shouqi?

Even after deciding to enter Beijing, Zhang Shouqi also showed the courage of the old man and immediately set off south.

The news of Zhang Shoujue's entry into Beijing reached Chang'an.

Most people in Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief.

No one wants to experience a civil war.

No matter what the situation is, what the situation is, the civil war consumes its own strength.

Especially now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, it is even more necessary to stabilize and stabilize again.

In fact, Pei Min's act of transferring 100,000 troops to Daizhou was not widely approved by many ministers in the DPRK and China.

They felt that such an act was too radical, and that one careless act might cause a military disaster.

This is also the unique mentality of most literati, who do not seek merit, but seek no fault.

At the same time, they can't help Pei Min, now that Pei Min is in power, he can't change any of Pei Min's decisions.

Pei Min knew that the appetite of the feudal town was used to by the weak imperial court.

The more fearful the court became, the greater the taste of the border marshal, the greater his ambition, and the more things he wanted.

If Zhang Shouqi is connived at today, then Li Shouqi and Wang Shouqi will appear tomorrow, and there are ten towns in the Tang Dynasty, a few more, where is the prestige of the imperial court?

When it's time to be tough, you have to be tough.

No one hates civil war more than Pei Min himself, hates his own people and fights his own people, but he must not be afraid because he hates it. When you really want to fight, you have to let go and fight.

Only in this way can the losses be truly minimized.

Pei Min got the news of Zhang Shoujue's entry into Beijing, and he did not show the same joy as most civil and military ministers.

This is just the first step, Zhang Shouqi has been a side coach in the Northeast for more than ten years, and his strength is deep-rooted, and if he wants to get rid of this trouble, he still needs the second and third steps.

For now, it's just a good start.

Not only the Northeast, but the entire Tang Dynasty was a good start.

Song Jing came out of the mountain, and before he began to rectify the rule of officials, the institutions of the Tang Dynasty had already begun to operate rapidly.

Song Jing's methods of governing officials are astonishing, he is not only aimed at those incompetent officials, but also for those who are capable, but are unwilling to work hard, and they are also merciless in their duties.

Those officials who had originally slackened down because of Li Longji's indulgence were all hearted up one by one, and they didn't dare to leave early and arrive late.

As soon as this official was serious, the administration of the entire dynasty became efficient and smooth.

Many things can be easily solved, and many things that have not been dealt with are eliminated little by little.

At the same time, Pei Min did not save face for Li Longji like this, and the flowers and birds deleted the entire organization, leaving nothing at all, and continued to use the previous draft method.

There are also some systems that are not beneficial to the world, and are simply Li Longji's systems for enjoyment.

Pei Min felt that he was like a designer, planning a beautiful blueprint for the future of the Tang Dynasty, deleting all the malpractices and malpractices, and choosing some policies that benefit the country and the people to make up for them.

At the meeting of the prime ministers' political affairs hall, Pei Min made strategic arrangements from three aspects: civil, military, and diplomatic.

"The development of Jiangnan is imperative and the trend of the times! The main agricultural and auxiliary businessmen, this point is handled by Li Xiang with full authority, and the Ministry of Industry cooperates. Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men. Jiangnan is a water town, and there are countless excellent shipbuilders hidden in the people. I propose a reward system for those who are highly skilled. Or financial encouragement, or land, or the convenience of giving their children and grandchildren officials. In short, this matter is related to the generations of my Datang, and it must not be sloppy. ”

Pei Min can imagine how many people will praise his remarks today in more than ten years.

As long as the Maritime Silk Road is opened, Jiangnan will become a fragrant treasure.

"As for diplomacy, the Ministry of Rites should pay more attention. I want to show a little bit now, international influence. What is International Reach? International influence is the proportion of status in the hearts of neighboring vassal states. The more influence we have, the more willing they are to hug us on the thighs and form a strategic alliance. The world is so big that it is beyond our imagination, it is difficult for us to conquer all places and make us the territory of our Tang Dynasty, but we can use our strength and power to win over a group of younger brothers, become the leader of the alliance, and interfere in the affairs of the world. ”

Pei Min said, and many prime ministers and ministers who participated in the meeting looked at Pei Min with a little shock.

Without giving them time to digest, Pei Min said: "As for military affairs, in the short term, I have the idea of reforming the military system, and I don't plan to use troops. His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and he must wait for the world to return to his heart and the temple to be stable, and then he will think about it. ”

Pei Min drew up the development trend of the Tang dynasty for the next five years, but the plan could never catch up with the changes.

In the first year of Zhaoyuan, there was an emergency military situation in the Western Regions.

The Arabians attacked Shiguo, and Shi Yan Gaoqing, the governor of Anxi, and Anxi Jiedu made Feng Changqing and was trapped in a lonely city.
