The earliest military division is not a Taoist, his original name is Wang Fei, is the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty Jin Shi under the molestation, has been seeking officials without a door, wandering around, relying on people to help live, the first year of Tianbao, after the rise of the wind of the imperial court, some Taoist priests who have a way have ascended to the court of the powerful, and even stepped on the Hanyuan Palace, which is respected as Hanlin.

Many discerning people have also discovered this shortcut, so they plunged into the deep mountains and the road to get married, famous people such as the poet Li Bai, also took this road.

Wang Fei in Tianbao three years in the end of the South Mountain monk for the Tao, although jumping out of the red dust, but his fame is difficult to eliminate, always pay attention to the trend of the court, looking for opportunities to advance, the opportunity finally came in the sixth year of Tianbao, the Tang Dynasty right minister Li Linfu came to the end of the south but Li Linfu did not immediately use him, but left a behind, the following year, the depressed Qing King Li Cong came to the end of Nanshan to invite Sanqing, in the vision of Li Linfu's henchmen's ingenious arrangement, his foresight and insight into the court immediately made Li Cong like a treasure, immediately hired him as his son Xixi, In fact, he is his chief staff.

After entering King Qing's Mansion, Wang Fei personally planned strategies such as respecting Yang, which really made a lot of contributions to King Qing's turnover, but he was like a kite flying high in the sky, no matter how he appreciated the scenery from above, his line was still held by Li Linfu, if he was leaving, but he never let go.

In this East Palace Incident, Wang Daoren has been secretly manipulated by Li Linfu, leading Li Cong step by step to step on the trap arranged by Li Linfu in advance, burning down the Suzhou cabinet shop, forcing Li Qing to come to Suzhou to handle the case, and then assassinate the fate of the king of the household department of the dynasty Needless to say, the Zhang Qiu Party will suffer a heavy setback, and even Yang Guozhong, who supports King Qing, will become a big loser, and the biggest gainer will be King Yong, but Li Linfu is snickering behind the scenes.

Wang Daoren walked into the back door, and someone led him into a secret room, where Luo Saburo was already waiting.

"It's a token!"

Luo Sanlang pushed the ring given to him by Li Linfu to the Wang Daoist who was sitting opposite, his task was to assist Wang Daoren, once the assassination was successful, he would immediately let the murderer be exposed, so that King Qing's conspiracy would be exposed to the world, of course, he didn't know his task now, he was just the executor of the order.

Daoist Wang picked up the ring, took out another ring from his arms and compared it before nodding and saying, "Are you the one sent by Xiangguo to respond?" ”

Luo Sanlang said in a deep voice: "My surname is Luo Mingsanlang, and he is a person sent by Xiangguo, but I don't know why I came. ”

Daoist Wang smiled slightly, "There are some things that are inconvenient to say earlier, Luo Zhuang and live here with peace of mind, and live in a simple place, I will come to you when the time comes." ”

Just a meeting, a few simple words to do, Wang Taoist can not stay for a long time, immediately said goodbye and left, when he left is still a waterway, a row of willows spitting out new sprouts are shaded, a small boat in the river shrouded in the drizzle gently floating, a few wicker seems to be blown off by the wind, very coincidentally landed on the stern, Wang Taoist quickly got on the boat, into the canopy, the boat then squeaked and swayed, gradually disappeared into the night, but just when the boat just turned a corner, a figure appeared on the shore, light footsteps, striding forward, At the same time, another boat appeared in the waterway, and their target was the boat with willow branches.

A serendipitous discovery during the day allowed Li Qing to find a clue, the boat that followed Wang Daoshi had returned, and the target went ashore at Xingchun Bridge in the south of the city, and disappeared into a manor by Shihu.

The slightest clue, yes, a little is enough, like a traveler who trudges through the darkness, and if he sees a little light, he will walk in that direction without hesitation.

At this time, the rain outside the window gradually became heavier, the drizzle knocked on the leaves, making a rustling sound, the lights in the room were bright, the brazier was burning very vigorously, baking the room to be extremely warm, and the bleak wind and cold rain outside the window formed a sharp contrast, the door knocked lightly, interrupting Li Qing's train of thought.

"Come in!"

The door opened, Zhang Ji in light blue clothes appeared at the door, since Li Qing invited him to do things for himself, the poet of the Tang Dynasty after a night of ideological struggle, the next day before dawn came to the pavilion, waited for an hour, before officially taking office, as Li Qing's staff, Li Qing did not because he was new to him to guard against him, on the contrary, he trusted him very much, and even gave Li Longji a twist and turn to him to draft, which made Zhang Ji very surprised, but also very moved, and tried his best to do the things in hand.

"Envoy, I have prepared a recital according to your wishes, you can see if it is appropriate."

He respectfully handed over a thick fold, Li Qing took it, only to see that there were four words written on the cover, 'Suzhou slightly', the handwriting is vigorous and powerful, Li Qing nodded secretly, look at the word as if looking at people, this word is rugged, and his righteousness dares to speak out with a withdrawal, and then flipped through the contents, which is not only the beginning and end of the investigation of the arson case of the cabinet workshop, but also the gains and losses of the Suzhou cabinet workshop established for three years one by one, written in great detail, without a single comment, but one by one facts have been the failure of the cabinet workshop very thoroughly, congenital insufficiency, water and soil adaptation, Plus the inaction of the magistrates.

Li Qing flipped through a few casually

laughed and said: "Yisun is really a talent, with a sharp pen, can see problems, and analyze the defeat of the cabinet very thoroughly, this matter is a big defeat since I became an official, which makes me angry and unwilling!" ”

Zhang Ji hesitated for a moment and said, "Envoy, I don't know whether to say a sentence or not." ”

Li Qing glanced at him, a little dissatisfied: "Since you are my staff, you should give me advice, point out the gains and losses, and what else should not be said." ”

"What the envoy said is that Zhang Ji is too worried."

Zhang Ji gave an apologetic salute, and Fang said slowly: "Have you ever thought about the real reason for the failure of the cabinet?" ”

Li Qing's eyes were raised, and his sharp gaze pierced Zhang Ji's face, "Yisun might as well say it clearly!" ”

"It's the emperor, the problem is on him, I don't think he supports the envoy's cabinet plan at all."

Zhang Ji saw that Li Qing was silent, and continued: "The original intention of the envoy is to use the cabinet to return the local financial power to the imperial court, so as to weaken the local power, this purpose is clear to the discerning person, not to mention the large and small local officials in it, since ancient times, it is difficult to balance the interests of the local and the imperial court, the late Han Dynasty was weak and the local was strong, which led to the establishment of the Three Kingdoms and the destruction of the Han Dynasty in Wei; And the same is true of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty promoted the advantages and eliminated the disadvantages, abolished the hereditary and imperial examinations, changed the three provinces and six departments, and took power in the imperial court, which directly violated the interests of the local and the family, so that after his death, Emperor Yang could no longer suppress the backlash of local forces, and Sui II died.

Speaking of this, Zhang Jichang sighed, shook his head and said: "So much, how can I not understand today, in fact, the method of making the king is excellent, and the means are also ingenious, as long as it is slowly implemented, ten years later, the results should be seen, but it is a pity that there is no ambition today, and he is obsessed with singing and dancing all day long. ”

Li Qing never said a word, while using the carbon clip to add carbon to the brazier, while silently listening to Zhang Ji's testimonials, until he finished speaking, Li Qing put down the carbon clip gently, and said with a faint smile: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, I wanted to make a big dish with beautiful color and fragrance, but because the heat was not mastered well, it made the dish difficult to swallow, as Yi Sun said, if I do it step by step, first set up a cabinet workshop, let it first penetrate into the hearts of the people, take root in the place, and then slowly launch the tax reform system, may not be successful, but unfortunately I can't wait!" ”

Li Qing got up and walked to the window with his hands in his hands, today Zhang Ji's words hit the nail on the head, it was Li Longji's ambiguity and inaction that made the cabinet shop finally fail, at this moment his mouth was bitter and astringent, he didn't know the truth that he couldn't stew the soup in a hurry, but the chaos of Anshi was like a heavy weight, and it always made his reform balance unbalanced.

Dense raindrops rustling the leaves, in the cold night rain of spring, he only felt very lonely in his heart, the longing for home was born spontaneously, after a while, he slowly calmed down, and his tenacious character allowed him to temporarily push the loneliness in his heart aside, he glanced back at Zhang Ji, saw his thick lips moved, wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't help laughing: "You are here again, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't swallow and spit out, be like your words, dare to accept and dare to let go." ”

Zhang Ji's heart fell, he turned around and closed the door first, and then lowered his voice and said: "After I persuade you to do this, it is best to find a way to return to the frontier, and only by holding the military power can you be safe, otherwise one day, you will die and have no place to be buried." ”

Zhang Ji's words were very abrupt, especially the last sentence, which was even more sharp and mean, but it brought out Li Qing's thoughts, which made his heart tremble suddenly, slowly turned around and returned to his seat, picked up the carbon clip, and said in a flat tone as much as possible: "What do you say this?" ”

"Why did the envoy come to Suzhou, the envoy told me last night that this is the emperor's plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, and the emperor must first transfer the envoy away if he wants to abolish the East Palace, which shows that the emperor is very jealous of you, which is not a good thing!

And the salt tax, how much money did the imperial court get from the salt? And whose interests are the money in the first place? Will they let the envoy go? How many of the people who have presided over the reform since ancient times have come to a good end? In the end, they all succeeded and became a victim of the emperor's anger to calm the anger.

The emperor is jealous of you, and the powerful clan hates you like bones, so once the king loses the use value, the emperor will inevitably take you, and now the salt and iron divisions around the country have gradually stepped into the right track, this day is not far away, envoy, I am by no means alarmist, you must plan early! ”

'Bang', the carbon clip made of bamboo was broken on Li Qing's hand, and Zhang Ji's words finally made Li Qing make up his mind, even if the feudal town is divided, he must have his own power and territory.

At this moment, a storm of horses' hooves sounded, straight to his own gallop, Li Qing seemed to think of something, he stepped forward to open the door, rushed into the rain, just ran to the gate, an eight-hundred-mile urgent messenger knight rolled down from the horse, he rolled and rushed to Li Qing and reported loudly: "Urgent report to Lord Shilang, the East Palace has been abolished!" ”
