Youzhou's ambitious fiscal reform is still in full swing, and it will take time to succeed.

For the Changqing Emperor after ascending the throne to implement the policy of selling troops, Youzhou is trying its best to cooperate, and it is also Li Mao's wish to eliminate the old and weak, but the resistance in the army is very great, and it is also a good choice to take advantage of the emperor's east wind to achieve his wishes, because of the special system of Youzhou, the disarmament soldiers have been better resettled, and it has not caused major changes.

The situation in other towns was different, and their backward institutions, mentality, and fragile finances were destined to be unable to appease the retrenched soldiers, who, without exception, left the barracks with no means of livelihood and no future, and in desperation took risks against the system they had defended with their blood and lives.

The policy of selling troops failed to achieve the original intention of eliminating redundant troops and reducing the financial burden, but on the contrary, all towns and towns of selling troops fell into the trouble of military rebellion to varying degrees, especially the two towns of Weibo and Chengde in Hebei. The two towns have been self-reliant for a long time, and the strong people in the management are all in the army, especially the two towns and the tooth army, the father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother dies and the brother dies.

After being a soldier for a long time, there is no other way to make a living except for the skill of killing, and once he is kicked out of the barracks, he cannot eat military salary, and his life suddenly falls into difficulty.

The desperate sergeant could only return to his old business, gathered in the mountains and forests to become bandits, robbed homes and houses, and became a lawless hero in the green forest. The strong people of Hebei are all in the army, and the fragile social system can not withstand such a large-scale bandit attack, and under the blow of the bandits, it suddenly festers like mud. The two towns coincidentally adopted a cohesive strategy: send a large army to suppress it, trying to eliminate the opponents from the **, but the result is not satisfactory, they are all a family who knows the roots, who can get who to die?

After the officials who entered the crackdown and the bandits who occupied the mountains met, they often did not use swords and guns but only fought wine, and the top and bottom were perfunctory.

After suffering a series of failures, the two towns adjusted their strategy, changed their tactics to suppression, recruited rebels, and incorporated the soldiers who had been eliminated into the system to control them, which worked very well. Although he is at ease as the king of the mountain, he often can't fill his stomach, and it is more cost-effective to go back to the barracks to eat food and errands, so the mountain kings scattered all over the country have gone out of the mountains and returned to the barracks.

It's just that there is a trouble here, the imperial court has repeatedly ordered all towns to sell troops, the purpose is to eliminate redundant troops, reduce the financial burden, first cut the soldiers, and then recruit them back in a different way, one out and one in, instead of reducing redundant troops, but expanding the troops, completely deviating from the original intention of the imperial court, where will the imperial court be?

The lord of Weibo is not yet an adult, and the lord of virtue is even weaker, the two towns are a bunch of family affairs, and now they have no capital and willingness to openly confront the imperial court, so they can only be resolved by skill, since the imperial court does not like it, the two families dare not resist hard, so the soldiers who are included in it are excluded again, cancel the banners of the various armies, and change public support to secret funding.

Stepping on two boats, not offending up and down, hoping to be peaceful.

But this method soon became unbearable, after Ziqing was pacified, in order to avoid becoming the next target of the imperial court, the two towns expressed their deference and accepted the imperial court to send a military envoy to the town to supervise.

The supervising military envoy has a huge and effective monitoring system, and the tentacles have penetrated into all aspects of the town, how can such a large-scale funding operation be concealed from the eyes of the supervising military envoy, so the east window incident, the imperial court issued an edict to accountability, and the local government had to throw out a few small shrimps as substitutes for the dead ghosts, hoping to get by.

Is it to turn a blind eye and pretend not to know, or to show an attitude, investigate to the end, and never tolerate it.

The young and vigorous Li Heng chose the latter, and issued an edict to severely reprimand the envoys of the two towns, Tian Huaizhi hurriedly asked for the guilt, and he was sincerely frightened, and said that he would correct it immediately.

Wang Yu of Hengzhou also pleaded guilty, but his attitude was a little sticky, and he made a reasonable and favorable defense for his behavior.

The voice of dissatisfaction with Wang Yu in the court suddenly became louder, and the heroes of Yuan and Zhongxing were indignant one by one, shouting and shouting to kill, and the matter was too unseemly, Li Heng could only temporarily leave the wrestling arena and come to Yanying Hall to listen to the opinions of the four prime ministers on the handling of Hengzhou.

Prime Minister Xiao Li advocated being tough on Hengzhou, and first sent an angel to Hengzhou, and severely reprimanded Wang Yu in person, so that he understood the attitude of the imperial court and immediately corrected himself. If he did not change, the imperial court immediately ordered Hedong, Youzhou, Weibo, Yiwu, Henghai and other towns to send troops to fight, and he would never be allowed to interrupt the new policy of the Changqing Dynasty.

Duan Wenchang is more steady, advocating that the political hall issue a post urging Hengzhou to draw up specific rectification opinions, and then make a decision according to the situation, Changqing Dynasty Vientiane update, although the outside world can not interfere, but there is no contradiction between the will and the flexibility of the strategy, and the old difficulty of Hengzhou, you still need to be a little patient.

Li Heng patiently listened to the opinions of the two prime ministers, and said to Xiao Li: "Immediately send a messenger to Hengzhou to ask Wang Yu whether this world is Li Tang's world or his Wang Yu's world." ”

Everyone might as well that he would say such a thing, and he was stunned for a while, and what made everyone even more unstable was that Li Heng ran out like a wind after saying this.

The emperor didn't care about decency, he didn't say hello, he left the prime minister and ran away, what kind of system is this.

The four prime ministers each sulked for a while, and suddenly felt that they were in a hurry, so they all dispersed.

Xiao Li was afraid that Li Heng would regret it, and he didn't do anything after returning to Zhongshu Province, and drafted the edict behind closed doors.

The edict soon appeared in the hands of the privy envoy Wang Shoucheng, Wang Shoucheng glanced at it and snorted: "Xiao Li, this straw bag, is it because the world is not chaotic enough?" That, who, go and call Li Fengji over, we have something to say to him. ”

Li Fengji, the word Xuzhou, was born in Jinshi, and is now a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, Wang Shoucheng has always wanted to recommend him to worship the prime minister, but he has no chance. He intuitively thinks that Xiao Li's recital is an opportunity, but how to operate, he doesn't have a score in his heart, looking for Li Fengji to let him give an idea, this Li Shilang is full of ghost ideas, he is undoubtedly a talent, and what makes him even happier is that Li Fengji has sharp teeth and a thick face, and everything is just his head, he is a person who is easy to control and can be trusted.

Li Fengji heard Wang Shoucheng's summoning, and hurried to arrive, Wang Shoucheng showed him Xiao Li's recital, and said with a smile: "Everyone has every opportunity and is diligent in state affairs, how dare we, who are courtiers, not do our best to help on the side?" But after all, the background is not right, the family is poor and out of school, there is no ink in the chest, many things are vaguely understood in my heart, but it is always difficult to get to the point, such as this recital, I always feel that there is something inappropriate, but I can't say it, please Li Shilang come over to the staff and staff, and I hope to give advice. ”

Li Fengji said with a smile: "The general has tormented Li Fengji, the general has been a confidant of two generations of emperors, and a pair of wise eyes look through the demon mist to hit the truth, he is an unborn master." ”

Wang Shoucheng pouted: "Li Shilang has an overreputation, I am a close minister who does not read much, only because of diligence and loyalty, I am trusted by everyone, how can I have any real ability, you praise me like this, where can I put my face?" He added: "You say that this piece is a demon mist, the dignified prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, will raise a demon mist to confuse the eyes of the Holy Lord?" This is earth-shattering, Li Shilang, you can think about it later. Li Fengji said: "How dare I say in front of the general, this piece is a demon fog, confusing the Son of Heaven and messing with the place, and his heart can be punished." ”

Wang Shoucheng glanced at the piece again, and snorted: "Is it alarmist, or insightful, or wait and see, you, go back first." ”

Li Fengji said goodbye, with a smile on his face, and the attendant asked, "The Son of Heaven worships the master of the family as the prime minister." ”

Li Fengji said with a smile: "If there is no accident, it will be a month or two." ”

Suddenly, Cheng Huang saw Li Fengji's back walk away, and then looked at this seal, thinking to himself: "It's real gold and not afraid of fire, just use it as a touchstone to see if you Li Fengji is real gold or stubborn iron." ”

After Li Heng left the Yanying Palace, he went to play a game first, and felt that it was not very interesting in the middle of the game, so he went to the West Forbidden Garden to shoot and hunt, and when he was tired of tossing, he went to the newly built bathhouse hall in the West Forbidden Garden to take a bath, and suddenly came to the interest, and passed the edict to let Master Jingyi come to give a speech on Buddhism.

Jingyi's surname is Guo, and his single name is a "tough" character. Emperor Xianzong died violently because of taking the pill of the demon Dao Liu, and the Taoist priests in the palace were poured blood mold, and they were all driven out regardless of whether they were high or low, and Master Jingyi was a disciple of Buddhism, so she was naturally not implicated, but because of the fall of favor from Taoism, she was even more proficient.

Wang Shoucheng understood Li Heng's true intention of summoning Mrs. Jingyi, this demon nun, Buddhism is not visible at all, but the flesh on his body can be smelled in the wind for eighteen miles, it is he, a rootless person, sometimes he is also flustered and blushing by her, no wonder the father and son are fascinated by her.

Wang Shoucheng stood in front of the bathhouse hall, looking at the railing, and for a while saw that Master Jingyi's law drove to the palace platform, his brows furrowed, but he thought: Come quickly, Sha Mo stayed in the palace last night and didn't leave?

He stopped the little eunuch who reported the news and said, "Mrs. Shi is not an outsider, just invite in." ”

Sent the little eunuch to go, Wang Shoucheng walked into the bathhouse hall, Li Heng had already come up from the water, and was sitting on the dragon bed with his knees crossed, pinched and knocked on the back by several little eunuchs. Wang Shoucheng smiled with a wrinkle on his face, hurriedly snatched it, and said with a smile: "Let's try Lao Chen's methods, Lao Chen's methods were learned from a worldly master in Xuzhou, and that is not an ordinary master." ”

Wang Shoucheng said as he squeezed away a few little eunuchs, stood behind Li Heng, and because he suspected that his hand was in the way, he put it on the dragon bed, which was within Li Heng's reach.

Wang Shoucheng's massage methods are not bad, but they are not as good as he boasts. Li Heng snorted, picked up the edict drafted by Xiao Li that Wang Shoucheng put on the dragon bed, and frowned unconsciously, he was the laziest in his life to look at these things, eight out of ten sentences were clichés and nonsense, and what could be said in one sentence had to go around for a long time.

Wang Shoucheng saw that Li Heng had picked up the edict drafted by Xiao Li and that Mrs. Jingyi had not yet arrived, so he deliberately asked, "What do you think of Lao Chen's methods?" Li Heng replied lazily: "Bullshit extraordinary, even if you really have you and don't have the heart to learn, you prison envoys are powerful and blessed in the place, happy like immortals, only others have served you, how can you serve others." ”

After speaking, he opened the concerto, just glanced at it, suddenly heard a cough, looked up, but it was a charming nun standing in front of him, smiling at him, Li Heng's bones suddenly crisped, and shouted: "You all get up, I want to listen to the master's speech on Buddhism." ”

Wang Shoucheng drove the palace people out, and said in embarrassment: "Xiao Xianggong's ...... this piece"

Li Heng stuffed the chapter into his hand: "Go, go, can't you, as a privy envoy, worry about me, you can do this thing at your discretion." ”

Wang Shoucheng was waiting for this sentence, bowed down to take the chapter, and hurriedly retreated with everyone.

Before he left the temple, he heard a burst of laughter behind him, and when he squinted, Li Heng had already thrown Jingyi Shitai down on the dragon bed, took off his monk's robe for her, and participated in the Dharma together.
