Chapter 137: Self-inflicted
Liu Min and Liu Lan's thoughts, how can Li Shimin not know? He has been paying attention to this matter, he wants to confirm one thing, Ma Zhou's letter seems to have given an answer.
"Your Majesty, Gyeongju has sent Gong Wen again!"
At this moment, Du Ruhui took the official document and walked into the palace: "As soon as Changshi left, the official document arrived." Knowing that His Majesty was in a hurry, he sent it. ”
"Good work!" Li Shimin's heart is like a mirror, it must have been sent by Ma Zhou on his deliberately instructed front and back feet, and he couldn't help but praise Ma Zhou's astute thoughts.
Taking the thick briefcase, Li Shimin flipped through it again.
The official document was written by Luo Tong himself, and no one can compare with that handwriting.
There is really no intention of pleading guilty in the official document, but there is a heart of punishment, but it can be seen from the news revealed in the words that Luo Tong has no intention of repenting, and arrogantly says that he will do it next time. What is it to lose office, it's a big deal to take Changle to open up the wasteland.
Li Shimin shook his head and smiled, and read a sentence in his heart quite complacently: "Fortunately, it was me who met!" ”
In the end of the official document, Luo Tong donated the plundered cattle and sheep to the imperial court to alleviate the economic shortage of the Tang Dynasty. The next 120,000 war horses were also recorded, and when those cattle and sheep war horses were mentioned, the words were full of disgust and disgust, and they couldn't wait to give them away immediately!
Li Shimin looked at this amount, and his expression was also moved. With more than 400,000 sheep, more than 80,000 cattle, 120,000 war horses, and 80,000 mares and crossbows, Datang's tight finances can be greatly improved, completely solving his urgent needs. sighed: "It's really a great blessing for my Datang to have a character like Luo Tong. ”
Closing the official document, Li Shimin threw the two impeachment notes in front of him to Fang Xuanling and said: "Burn it, just treat it as if this incident never happened." Liu Min and Liu Lan have also made great contributions no matter what they say, and Shuo Fang came so easily, they really made a great contribution. He was faithful to me, and transferred them to the south, and made them governors. ”
Li Shimin did not believe in the impeachment of Liu Min and Liu Lan from the beginning, and he knew from the beginning that Luo Tong was arbitrary and arbitrary in Gyeongju.
When Luo Tong was the governor, he found out about the situation of the border army, and specially told Li Shimin about it, and directly pointed out that he was not as good as Li Jing and Li Shiji when it came to military training, and he did not have the ability to turn decay into magic like them. Li Shimin also connived at all the practices of Luo Tong in Gyeongju.
After receiving the impeachment of Luo Tong, Li Shimin had another thought in his heart: he was afraid that Luo Tong would be pampered and arrogant.
Now it seems that everything is too much for him.
Luo Tong is Luo Tong, even if he is in a high position, he still does not forget his original intention, he thinks of the people in his heart, he thinks of Datang, and he is willing to make taboos for the people, for the sake of Datang, he treats money as nothing, and gives all the spoils that should have belonged to him to the imperial court to ease the economy of Datang.
Less than a year after Luo Tong's rise, his war not only did not put pressure on the economy of the Tang Dynasty, but made up for the deficit of the Tang Dynasty......
This achievement is really unconvincing.
Fang Xuanling asked, "Your Majesty, what should Luo Dudu do with this?" ”
Fundamentally speaking, he, like Du Ruhui, doesn't want a young hero like Luo Tong, who has never forgotten his original intention and has good thoughts, to be punished! However, the imperial court has the laws of the imperial court that need to be maintained, if everyone acts recklessly like Luo Tong, won't the world be completely chaotic? As a last resort, I asked for it!
"Since ancient times, merits and demerits cannot be compensated, Luo Tong carelessly overstepped his authority and removed him from the post of governor of Gyeongju to set an example...... Li Shimin's words were cold.
"Huh?" Du Ruhui was dumbfounded, this is too heavy, right?
"Passing is merit and merit, and it can't be mixed up!" Li Shimin secretly laughed and said: "General Yunlu and champion Hou Luotong captured Shuofang and recovered strategic places, thanks to the Tang Dynasty and Sheji!" The governor of Xiazhou was crowned, and the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion governed the three prefectures of Xia, Sui and Yan, and the Governor's Mansion was located in Shuofang City, and the border troops of Gyeongju were transferred to Shuofang to stand by. If the family is willing to follow. A sheep will be rewarded, and all taxes will be reduced for the first year. In the second year, only 50% of the tax is collected, and in the third year, 80% of the tax is collected. In the first year, the imperial court rented ploughing cattle free of charge. ”
Fang Xuanling also let out an "ah", crying and laughing.
This time back and forth, Luo Tong has not changed anything except that the name has changed from the governor of Gyeongju to the governor of Xiazhou, and the jurisdiction has changed from Gyeongju, Suizhou, and Yanzhou to Xiazhou, Suizhou, and Yanzhou. Because Xiazhou contains Shuofang and Shuobei grassland, the territory under its jurisdiction is much larger.
"Luo Tong is a scourge, it is very eye-catching, and it is thrown in Shuofang, so as to save trouble." Li Shimin looked disgusted!
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were disdainful in their hearts: What are you pretending? Before this, I don't know who has been asking for the news of "stinky boy", "my virtuous son-in-law" and "my champion marquis".
"Your Majesty, should you appoint a Xiazhou assassin? After all, the wedding date between Luo Dudu and the princess is imminent, and Xiazhou can't be without a person in charge. Fang Xuanling said,
"Don't worry, that stinky boy is amazing, he cheated a few powerful people, and he can't be tired."
Li Shimin looked sour, this baby daughter who had been raised for more than ten years had become another family, which was really not a taste in my heart.
"Qinglian and Yiai, these two boys are not bad, they are far away from Jingshi, and they have become great talents. It seems that Luo Tong is right when he says that the army can temper people the most! Li Shimin's eyes were shining, and he didn't know what he had in mind.
When Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui heard this, the whole person was not good, and they were extremely ashamed, compared with Luo Tong, Du He and Fang Yiai were the real scourge. However, watching their son grow up, the two are also very happy.
**********
Luo Tong, who was honest about sin, looked at the two holy decrees one after another, and was also a little dumbfounded!
The previous sentence was harsh, not only did he get the governor of Gyeongju, but Li Shimin wrote a private letter as if he was not enough, in which he scolded him bloodily, and told him to act cautiously in the future, court politics is not as simple as he thought, and he also mentioned the matter of that letter, so that he could thank Ma Zhou well.
The second is to appoint him as the governor of Xiazhou, accompanied by a warm letter, let him get started as soon as possible, and then go back to Chang'an to marry Changle, and the day is the day of Double Eleven.
"Thanks to Mr. this time!" After reading the two holy decrees and two private letters, Luo Tong took a deep look at Ma Zhou.
Ma Zhou returned the salute and said: "With a show of hands, where can I compare to the Governor's kindness to my Ma Zhou." Although the adults do not behave properly, they are sincere. It's a shame to say that he boasted of being rich and rich, and he was too high, thinking that he should be like a famous minister in history, and he disdained to be a small official and was willing to degenerate, so he achieved nothing. Acting under the command of an adult. Time is short, but I am deeply touched. Adults are in high positions but not arrogant, and they hold power but not greed. Ma Zhou is ashamed of himself, and he is even more ashamed. It's a great privilege to be able to work for adults. ”
Luo Tong couldn't help but praise the most, especially a wise man like Ma Zhou, and couldn't help but smile flutteringly: "Mr. has won the award, I just did what I should do." But I'm curious about what you wrote to your majesty, and he took it very seriously to you. ”
Ma Zhou smiled faintly: "It's nothing, it's just two people, one is Han Xin, and the other is Huo Quai." It's just that Du Du's personality is similar to Huo Quzhi, not Han Xin. ”
Luo Tong was confused when he heard it, but seeing that Ma Zhou was unwilling to explain in detail, he didn't ask much, so he simply gave the order to move.
As soon as this order was given, the entire Governor's Mansion jumped and jumped.
……
"Be careful, this is a sorted document, don't break it up...... Hey, hey, hey, this is the official document to be dealt with today, don't look for it to move to the carriage so much. This thing is moved at the end, so you can take it casually when you use it. What I'm going to see in the carriage...... Hey, hey, hey, this is the four treasures of the study, it's broken, and your salary will be deducted! ”
Shangguan Yi was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and commanded the soldiers, and carried the archives and miscellaneous things in the Gyeongju Governor's Mansion to the carriage outside the Governor's Mansion, which was a bit inextricable.
Because the above classified Suizhou and Yanzhou under the rule of the Xiazhou Governor, all kinds of materials of Suizhou and Yanzhou in the Gyeongju Governor's Mansion had to be brought to Xiazhou Shuofang.
There are also weapons, armor, and military horses that Luo Tong has in Gyeongju to take away.
Time is a little short, and it is a little rushed.
Weapons, armor, and military horses are the things that Luo Tong cares about the most, so Wang Xuance, Liu Renliang, and Du He are arranged to be in charge.
Kumon can only trouble Ma Zhou and Shangguanyi, two masters of government affairs.
