Everything that the Ming Yuan does is transactional and courteous, and although it is essential, it is not the most important. Li Mao is now a cloth cloth, not suitable for this position again, he originally wanted to take Lin Ying as the prefect and stand at the front desk as his assistant, but Lin Ying recommended Zhang Henian to him.

Zhang Henian, a fellow acquaintance, has been doing it for many years, and the official position of Changzhou is not low, he is very familiar with people in the capital, and he is very well-known, so it is convenient to do a lot of things, on the other hand, Lin Ying is just a school scholar from Jiupin, with a bad background, and he is a newcomer, so he is easy to be despised.

Li Mao agreed to his request, so he took Zhang Henian, the same knowledge, as the prefect, and at the same time sent a letter to Yunzhou to ask him to be the head of the court, and Lin Ying was the same knowledge, and Zhong Jian and Chen Ru were still divided into left and right judges. Zhang Henian, Zhong Jian, and Chen Ru are more than enough to take care of the Academy, and now with an ambitious and energetic Lin Ying, Li Mao can basically discard the affairs of the Academy, in fact, he can't manage it if he wants to.

But the person who is really at the core of power has since remembered a new name - Li Mao.

Li Shigu's confession to Li Shidao, who was slashed with a dagger, had to bow his head and ask his brother to plead guilty, and asked to be dismissed and return to his hometown to study and introspect, but Li Shigu unexpectedly showed his generosity as a brother, and after he appeased Li Shidao with kind words, he still sent him back to Mizhou for the history of assassination, and worked hard for the fear of brother cases, Li Shigu used Chen Xiangshan as the governor of Mizhou, assisted in government affairs, and sent Huang Fuyuan as a defense envoy for the Mizhou regiment to help him in the military.

He also asked the imperial court to use Li Fang to assassinate Laizhou, and send cronies to share military and political affairs, so that his clan uncle could live in retirement.

Li Shidao escaped again, returned to the old mansion in Mizhou, took a breath, calmed down, but suddenly found that he tossed around and returned to the original point, Mizhou is back, he is still a thorn history, but there is no old calm, he is like a night walker on the edge of a thousand zhang cliff, behind him is a cliff that can not be retreated, in front of the cliff is a thousand zhang cliff, there is no way to enter, there is a road left and right, but only one foot wide, the wind is strong, the night is thick, all he can do now is to cling to the cliff, suffering bitterly.

Li Shidao wanted to cry without tears, this time he may have been used again.

……

The most ruthless thing in this world is time, and the most affectionate thing is time, he can erase all pain, but also bring abundant fruits. For Li Mao, in just a few months, he has tasted the ruthlessness and affection of time.

The capital of the copper tiger head is not easy to do, and the unrestrained power is like a dangerous beast, which is in danger of devouring itself at any time, but controlling this beast well can bring people the supreme pleasure of doing whatever they want.

"It's good to have power."

This is Li Mao's evaluation of the beast under his seat.

The beauty of power lies in the use of power, it is better to have no power than not to have power, and those who have no power are easy to get peace, and those who have power are easy to get trouble.

Li Mao decided to enjoy the wonders of power. He looked around. Among the feudal towns around Ziqing, Li Shigu wanted to annex Yicheng Town the most, and Xuanwu Town was the most feared.

In all fairness, neither of these tasks was easy to accomplish, especially Han Hong, who drove out Xuanwu Town.

Han Hong, a native of Kuangcheng, Huazhou. Shaogu, according to his uncle Liu Xuanzuo. If you don't miss the scriptures, you can learn to ride and shoot from outside. By Zhu Cao tried Dali to evaluate the matter, for the southern city of Songzhou. Liu Quanforgive, the agency knows the soldiers. In the fifteenth year of Zhenyuan, all forgive death, think Xuanzuo in the army, and leave the military with the support of talents and martial arts, and ask the supervising army to watch the dynasties. The edict inspects the school engineering department, and serves as the deputy ambassador of Xuanwu Jiedu, and knows the festival.

Xuanwu Town has maintained a relatively independent status since Liu Xuanzuo, and Han Hong is Liu Xuanzuo's nephew, who has been operating in Xuanwu for many years, with deep roots and high prestige. Xuanwu is also the gateway of the imperial court to curb Hebei and Ziqing, and the grain road from the south of the Yangtze River to the two capitals is very important. Without complete certainty, how could the imperial court destroy itself and fight the idea of Xuanwu?

Li Mao tried the possibility of driving Han Hong away through Chang'an, but the conclusion was whimsical and couldn't be done at all. However, it is a relatively weak knot for Yicheng Town, so that there is some room for maneuver.

In the sixteenth year of Zhenyuan, Lu Qun died of illness, and Yang Zhilian was appointed as a supervisor to perform military and political affairs. The following year, Dou Wenchang, the lieutenant of the Zuo Shence Army, returned to his hometown, and Yang Zhilian was called to Beijing to replace Dou Wenchang as the lieutenant of the Zuo Shence Army.

A year ago, Hu Yuchun, a big family in Zhengzhou, also caused a mutiny because of the loss of his mother, which shows that the ability of this public to control is limited.

Since the Zhengzhou Mutiny, there have been voices in the DPRK and China calling for the removal of Li Yuan, and all parties are willing to train Li Jingluo to be transferred to Yicheng by the defense regiment of the Tiande Army, and Li Jingluo himself has also sent people to move around Beijing.

Li Mao was determined to help Li Element and help him stabilize his position as the envoy of the Yicheng Festival. Li Mao found Su Zuoming, the second son of Mrs. Dingtao, and expressed his hope that Li Yuan would continue to stay in office.

Su Zuoming has now been promoted to the Inner Government Bureau, and he is a well-known role in the Inner Palace of Yang Qinji's shogunate in his godfather's inner garden, and more importantly, his godfather's godfather Yang Zhiqian has returned to Beijing from the outer town to supervise the army, replacing Dou Wenchang, who returned to his hometown, as the lieutenant of the Zuo Shence Protector Army.

The Shence Army is nominally commanded by the commander and the general, but the real power is in the hands of the lieutenant of the protector.

Needless to say, the power of the Guardian Lieutenant who was in charge of the 100,000 Forbidden Army was self-explanatory, and what made Su Zuoming even more overjoyed was that Yang Zhilian had a very good temper with him, and he was actually familiar at first sight, and he was thinking about asking him to go to the Shence Army and listen to him in front of the Guardian Lieutenant's account.

Su Zuoming saw Li Mao's name on his family letters more than once, and his parents had a very good impression of Li Mao, and said a lot of good things about him, and Su Zuoming's impression of Li Mao was not bad. With this preconceived good impression, not long after Li Mao arrived in Chang'an, Su Zuoming took the initiative to visit, and the two brothers with different surnames who had never met met hit it off at first sight, and they were very temperamental.

Since then, they have been coming and going, and they have long been familiar with each other.

After listening to Li Mao's request, Su Zuoming twisted his brows and asked, "I shouldn't ask what I shouldn't ask, what are your intentions to help him at such a big cost?" This is very unreasonable, haven't you Ziqing always wanted to annex Yicheng? ”

Li Mao said: "The annexation is purely a rumor, the relationship between Ziqing and Yicheng has always been harmonious, thanks to Li Zhongcheng's control, we are not willing to lose such a good neighbor." ”

Su Zuoming shook his head and smiled: "You are not telling the truth, if you want me to help, you have to tell me the truth, otherwise, don't blame me for being helpless." ”

Li Mao hesitated for a moment and said: "It's not a secret, Neizi opened an overseas trade in Dengzhou, selling Liaodong treasures to Ziqing, but the sales were not smooth, and the business was bleak. A year ago, I met a big man in Zhengzhou, and wanted to ask him to sell the goods to Heluo and Liangjing for profit, this big man had a bad relationship with Li Shangshu, and he didn't want Li Shangshu to be replaced, so I had to ask Brother Su for help. ”

Su Zuoming frowned and said, "No, the Zhengzhou tycoon you are talking about is not Hu Yuchun?" Isn't he not dealing with Li Yuanyuan very well, why did he become friends again? Last year's mutiny almost didn't pull Li Shangshu off the horse. ”

Li Mao said: "When there is a dispute between brothers, it is only when there is friction between old friends that it seems intimate, it is precisely because of intimacy that Hu Yuchun has the courage to make trouble in Zhengzhou, change someone, who dares?" Then Hu Yuchun knew that he was indebted to his friends, so he tried to make amends. ”

Su Zuoming nodded and said, "This makes sense, okay, if this kind of local tyrant doesn't slaughter him, we have to knock him hard." Li Mao said: "If this thing is done, how much do you think is appropriate?" Su Zuoming thought about it for a moment and said: "My father doesn't care too much about money, but the family has a big business, and each has its own difficulties, so I don't take a penny, what the children and grandchildren eat, I think it will be at least 100,000 yuan." Li Mao said: "I will pay 30,000 yuan first, and after the matter is completed, I will settle it at one time, how about it?" ”

Su Zuoming said: "Well, that's you, if you are someone else, you won't be able to do it without a son." ”

Through Su Zuoming, the door of the Yang family and his son was passed, and Li Element's knots made the throne dangerous and not falling. Shortly thereafter, Li Jingluo, the training envoy of the defense regiment of the Tiande Army and the assassin of Fengzhou, died of illness, and Li Yuan's crisis passed safely.

Li Mao reported the causes, consequences and intermediate process of this incident to Li Shigu in detail.

Li Shigu gave Li Mao a house, 300 acres of fertile land, three famous horses, and once again played an official position for Li Mao, and then gave up because someone in the Yushitai made a hindrance.

The envoy specially sent three famous horses to Chang'an, Li Mao feasted the envoy and got an unexpected news, this autumn Chengwu County grain harvest and failure, not waiting for the end of the autumn harvest, there will be a rebellion, local suppression is unfavorable, the assassin Li Jing was replaced. Li Shigu wanted to dispatch Ashina to send troops to suppress it.

Ashinabei's cavalry is the main force of Gongwei Yunzhou, how can they move lightly for a few hungry people who are in turmoil?

The envoy's seemingly unconscious gossip is a hidden mystery: Mao Taigong and Zhu Jiu have been training in the Tianzhuang in Chengwu County for a year, and it is impossible not to leak out the news.

Now he is giving Li Mao a wake-up call, or a warning, if the matter of Mao Taigong and Zhu Jiu is not properly handled, the next step is to clean them up as a hungry people.

Li Mao was shocked into a hot sweat, since entering Chang'an, the original Liaodong expansion plan has been postponed again and again, although he has been told repeatedly, in the end what he is most worried about has happened.

Mao Taigong and Zhu Jiu are not fuel-efficient lamps, they have soldiers in their hands, how can they be willing not to toss twice?

Liaodong Sang Rong has already gained a firm foothold in Beisha City, and the old Qing Navy has defected to him one after another, and Sha Lao has judged the situation and officially accepted him as one of the six major families in Beisha City, which is very beautiful for a while.

Clerk Cheng barely gained a foothold on the bank of the Liao River, built forts and farmed, self-fed, clerk Cheng has the talent of a manager, but he does not know much about soldiers, and there are no available generals under him, and he is blackmailed by small tribes in the surrounding forests, and his life is very unsatisfactory.
