Of course, everyone knows that Yang Yan is a natural political animal, and he dares to reinstate Yuan Xiu from a liuren to Jingzhao Shaoyin, of course, there is a purpose in it.

Because Yan Ying, who used to be Jing Zhaoyin (now has been promoted to Imperial Historian Pingzhangshi), is Wang Yi's nephew and son-in-law. Yang Yan just wanted to take advantage of the grudge between Yuan Xiu and the Wang family and place him next to Yan Ying, so as to search for the other party's negligence and wait for the opportunity to bring down Yan Ying again.

But Yuan Xiu, like Gao Yue, quickly parted ways with Yang Yan: Yuan Xiu not only did not harm Yan Ying, but became friends with him.

However, in terms of backers, Yuan Xiu and Gao Yue can't compare, and the relationship between Gao Yue and his wife is quite good. Soon Yang Yan's revenge came - Yuan Xiu was "elected" as an envoy to envoy to Hui Hui, who had just broken out of bloody civil strife.

At this time, everyone in the court knew that the emperor hated Hui the most.

Then Yuan Xiu's envoy to return to Hui is nothing more than two endings:

1. Offended the newly enthroned Khan, was expelled or even killed, unable to complete his mission, and the possibility of the latter increased dramatically after the outbreak of the Zhenwu City Killing Mission;

Second, he barely completed his mission, succeeded in canonizing the new Khan, and let Tang and Hui continue to be "friendly", but after returning, he was disgusted by the emperor, because even if the emperor barely maintained the status quo with Hui Hui, he had to find a punching bag.

If this is not completed, there will be no good fruit to eat!

At this time, Li Zhou, who was standing in Baqiao Station, actually had a premonition that he would run to Shannan Dongdao this time, and the ending would be similar to that of Yuan Xiu.

So Li Zhou hung his head and lamented.

At this time, from the direction of Han Gongyi, two small boats slowly came to the shore.

Cui Qing, the head of Baqiao, first tied the boat, then led the horse and luggage, and greeted Li Zhou to board the ship.

As a result, as soon as Li Zhou got on the boat, he saw a man of extraordinary bearing, about fifty years old, sitting under the canopy of the boat, surrounded by a small furnace filled with wine in front of him, who was not a person from the post station at all.

Li Zhou was taken aback, and hurriedly looked back, "This, is there something wrong?" ”

I saw Cui Qing untie the cable very slowly, and the ship quickly left the shore.

At this moment, the man raised his face with a smile, looked at Li Zhou, and poured him a glass of wine.

"Little Pei! Why, how is it here? Li Zhou exclaimed.

"It was arranged by Brother Cui Eighteen, so I was able to get together with my brother in the boat."

This little Pei bachelor's name is Pei Yanling, and he is currently a member of the catering department of the Ministry of Rites, a member of the Wailang, and a bachelor of Jixian Academy.

But Li Zhou knew that Pei Yanling was Lu Qi's person, and he was now able to enter the Daming Palace as a straight bachelor, which was recommended by Lu Qi, the servant of his door, and Lu Qi came to bid farewell to Baqiao this time, so Yang Yan was relieved, but Pei Yanling was sick in the future - because Xiao Pei's official position was not very high, Yang Yan didn't pay much attention to it.

So now that he appeared on the boat to Han Gongyi, the ghost believed that it was just an accident.

Sure enough, Pei Yanling cut directly to the topic: "You see how Yang Yan treated Brother Cui Eighteen today, is such a person worthy of my brother's entrustment?" Now Han Huan, Zhao Zan, and Du You are in power, Yu Zhun is the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu, Lu Hang is the place where Jingzhao Shaoyin lives in the heart, but the younger brother has to send to the land of tigers and wolves like Shannan Dongdao. ”

Hearing this, Li Zhou was silent for a moment.

Alliances that are matched by simple interests are also the easiest to dismantle and divide with interests.

The boat floated on the water, drifting away......

Just when the emperor was patiently waiting for the news of one south (Xiangyang), one north (Huifu) and one east (Wei Bo and Chengde), the Quanzhi Yuanzhou line in the west was sent to Gaoyue with a seal entitled "Playing Fujing, Long, Qi, and Wei Four Prefectures Ma Fang Shu".

"This Gao Yue, what are you talking about the Northwest Horse Fang of Fujing now? Okay, I'll see what he has to say. Li Shi was full of curiosity about Gao Yue's note.

Gao Yue's recital began with a review of my Tang Dynasty's former horse politics: "The country since Zhenguan, in the river, Longdi placed a prison and pastoral, a total of eight envoys and forty-eight prisons, forty years of the rest of the national horse to more than 700,000, there are still 270,000 horses in the Kaiyuan period, when the Ming Emperor reigned in the world, and the big city of Huma, to the Kaiyuan seven years inside and outside the war stable with tens of thousands of horses, and raise elephants, camels, stables and horses, Fei grass is more, Jingzhao Zhuzhou County can not bear the burden of the poor department, the Ming Emperor thinks of the meaning of the lover, then the edict is matched with the border army, stay in animal husbandry, and in the Pi, Ning, Qi, Eight horse workshops in the four states of Jing are set up to feed ......"

So what does Gao Yue mean by this?

Based on his understanding of Tang history before he crossed over, he also confused the "pastoral supervision system" and the "idle stable horse workshop system" of the Tang Dynasty horse administration, just like the original intention. However, when he later became a leader in Jixian Yuan, after reading the knowledge system of the Tang Dynasty's border and military administration, he realized that the "pastoral supervision system" and the "idle stable and horse workshop system" were fundamentally different things.

Even in the "New Tang Book" revised by Song Confucian, the description of Ma Zheng of the Tang Dynasty also made the mistake of confusion: "At the beginning, the servant Shaoqing Zhang Wansui led the herdsmen. In the 40 years from Zhenguan to Linde, 706,000 horses were placed, and eight Fangqi (i.e., Fengxiang Mansion), Feng (i.e., Pi), Jing, and Ningjian were placed, and the land was wide for thousands of miles: one was called Baole, the second was called manna, the third was said to be Nanpu, the fourth was said to be North Puyan, the fifth was called Qiyang, the sixth was Taiping, the seventh was Yilu, and the eighth was stable. Eight squares of land, 1,230 hectares, recruit people to cultivate it, in order to give straw. The horses of the eight squares are forty-eight prisons, and the horses are too narrow to accommodate, and the eight prisons are analyzed in the fertile wilderness of the Lebu River. Where 5,000 horses are the upper prisoners, 3,000 are the middle prisoners, and the rest are lower prisoners. The prison has left and right, and it is named after the place. At that time, the world is easy to change. Long live the palm of the horse for a long time, and the letter is in Longyou. ”

Obviously, in the "New Tang Dynasty Book", the 48 supervisors of Helong, who "led the herdsmen" of Zhang Wansui, are completely equated with Bafang.

Now Gao Yue finally has a clear score, so he has the right medicine, and he has this note.

The Tang Dynasty was a dynasty that attached great importance to horse herding (nonsense), so from the beginning of its establishment, it began to prepare for the "horse administration", and the specific management department was the Taifu Temple, which was in charge of the decree of the world's horse herding, and developed into the 48 supervisors of Helong, Hequ (the Yellow River is located in the area of the top of the 'several' shape) eight eunuchs, a total of 56 eunuchs of the huge horse herding system, at its peak it was claimed that there were 700,000 horses.

However, it is worth noting that the horses raised by the pastoral supervision system are called "national horses".

So what is the role of the national horse? There are mainly three uses, one is to be allocated to the army as a military horse (and given to the courtiers), the second is to be allocated to the post station as a post horse, and the third is to give the imperial palace as a "standing horse" for the twelve guards of the Southern Ya. The third type of horse is the example given by Li Linfu when he blocked the way of speech: "The master is above, and the ministers will be flawless, what do you say?" Don't you see the battle alone? silent all day long, and the three products of beans; If you make a sound, you will be dethroned. Although you don't want to make a sound, you have to do it?" If you act as a palace horse, you can't scream, because it is not a system to scream in the halo book team, so you can eat well if you learn to be silent - Li Linfu means, you who are courtiers should be good horses, don't talk nonsense if you have nothing to do, don't talk nonsense if you have something, just eat a vegetarian meal in the corpse position, and lose your official position if you talk nonsense, don't blame me for not reminding you.

Okay, back to the topic of the national horse.
