Chapter 113: Clear Streams in Troubled Times (I)
As Datang Qianzhuang gradually stabilized, the reform of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Tiance Mansion also began to embark on a regular track, and various departments began to loosen the tight strings after more than two months of intense and busy work, and Li Xuanqing finally turned his attention away from civil affairs at this time.
With the advancement of various policies, the newly built Guanzhong Province and various regions in Hanzhong also began to gradually accept the rule of Tiance Mansion, which gave Xuan Yingwei a lot of energy, and after handing over the internal affairs to the Patrol Department, Hu Xiaosi began to transfer a large number of people into the surrounding areas to arrange the next plan. Xuan Yingwei's work has basically been laid out before the big strategy is launched, and the intelligence work of more than two years has made Hu Xiaosi develop the habit of being one step ahead of others in everything.
"I said Xiaosi, the General Staff of the Strategic Direction has formulated several plans, but they haven't had time to hand them over to the lord, how can you tell you? Why don't you go to the lord and report these plans to the lord by the way? Xu Tianxiang was busy making plans for the reorganization of the troops, and he was chased and entangled by this guy every day, so he couldn't stand it, so he hurriedly raised his hand to say mercy.
Hu Xiaosi was also amused when he saw Xu Tianxiang's appearance, shook his head and said: "I'm not going, the lord has only been busy with internal affairs recently, and I will probably be scolded to death if I come to disturb me." Why don't you go? You are the chief of the general staff, and you are the biggest in the whole army except for the lord, and this kind of major event must be the most suitable for you to go, so I will go out to accompany you. You said that it doesn't matter if you can't finish this reorganization in a day or two, and these generals won't take this to heart, but I'm talking about a big thing, okay? ”
was disturbed by him, Xu Tianxiang also threw down the plan in his hand, and scolded with a smile: "How did I find out that what you said is reasonable?" Theoretically, shouldn't all those who engage in intelligence be unsmiling and expressionless? Where is it that you have so much nonsense about the intelligence chief? Forget it, I don't have any thoughts about being made so troubled by you, let's go to the lord, and say okay, if the lord scolds, I'll say that you asked me to go. ”
The two of them came to Miyagi from the military camp in the city, only to see that Miyagi had become a large construction site at this time, and a team of craftsmen of all kinds appeared in the south of Miyagi, which had been in ruins, and began to build the three major buildings of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Military Department and the Law Court. The logistics department specially sent cement over.
"It seems that this Tiance Mansion base camp is doing well." Hu Xiaosi pointed at it and said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go quickly, the lord must be at Mr. Cen in Changqing Palace now. We can still eat at noon in the past. Xu Tianxiang couldn't stand it, so he pulled this guy and ran quickly in the direction of Changqing Palace.
And when Xu Tianxiang and the others arrived at the gate of Changqing Palace, Cen Tianshi also took two people towards Changqing Palace, and several people met at the gate of the palace.
"Is the gentleman here to find the lord?" Xu Tianxiang and Hu Xiaosi saluted when they saw Cen Tianshi and said hello and said with a smile: "These two behind Mr. are a little faceless?" ”
"Lord Du, Lord Sun, long time no see." Xu Tianxiang didn't know Hu Xiaosi, who had been in charge of Xuan Yingwei in Chang'an City for so long, knew him, and said with a smile.
"Two, these two generals are the chief of staff of my Tiance Army and the commander of the Xuanying Guard." After Cen Tianshi introduced the two behind him, he smiled and said, "Okay, Tianxiang Xiaosi, let's go in together." Looks like the lord is busy with his homework. ”
Li Xuanqing is indeed doing his homework at the moment, busy formulating an industrial development plan. After the establishment of Datang Qianzhuang, it is possible to promote industrial development. Therefore, after half a month of planning, the industrial plan that was sprinkled with more than a dozen pages on paper covered the industrial planning and development direction of more than a dozen categories including heavy industry, light industry and chemical industry, and Li Xuanqing also designed the distribution map of each industry. The reason why there has been no movement in the past is that many things in this era have not yet sprouted, and what Li Xuanqing has to do now is to personally urge these industries to take root and become a reality. If possible, we must promote the industrial revolution to take the lead in the land of China in our lifetime, and win a millennium advantage for the nation.
Therefore, Li Xuanqing didn't even notice that Cen Tianshi and a few people walked in, and he single-mindedly sketched on the hanging large map, marking the bits and pieces he thought of, and this good habit was brought by later generations.
After a long time, Li Xuanqing turned around to look for something only to suddenly find Cen Tianshi, Xu Tianxiang and others standing in front of him waiting quietly, and suddenly smiled a little embarrassedly: "Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't see you here this time, sit down, these two are?" ”
"This is Lord Zhongshu Ling Du Rang Nengdu, and this is Lord Sun Kuo, a member of the Zhongshu House." Cen Tianshi introduced the two to Li Xuanqing, and said with a smile: "The two adults are not afraid of Yang Fugong's obscenity, and they are worthy of admiration for the country and the people." ”
Li Xuanqing nodded and said with a smile: "Xuanqing has thanked the two adults on behalf of the Tiance Mansion, and I have heard the reputation of the two adults as early as when I was in Fengzhou. ”
"General Tiance, good majesty, this is the palace, Changqing Palace is the palace where the emperor summons the ministers, and the general sits on the emperor's throne in such a grand manner. Originally, Li Xuanqing's words made Du Rangneng and Sun Kuo bow their heads for a while, but Sun Kuo raised his head and suddenly found that the position where Li Xuanqing was sitting was the emperor's throne, and he was immediately angry, stood up and reprimanded.
As soon as he said this, the people present were shocked, and Hu Xiaosi was even more serious, and he was about to speak out, only to hear Cen Tianshi say: "Lord Sun, is this too harsh?" My father-in-law is the queen of the royal family, and although he has crossed the line of etiquette in the first seat of Changqing Palace, there is no big problem, right? Lord Sun spoke so viciously, could it be that he was deceiving me and that there was no one in the Tiance Army? "It's no wonder that Cen Tianshi is so angry, and he is kind enough to introduce his lord to you, but if you come up, you will scold Li Xuanqing for plotting to usurp the dynasty.
However, Li Xuanqing glanced at Sun Kuo and Du Rangneng with an embarrassed face with a little curiosity, this guy is really as famous as the historical record, but this Du Rangneng is really Du Ruhui's descendant? Thinking of this, Li Xuanqing stopped Cen Tianshi, who was blowing straight with his beard, and asked, "Lord Du, I heard that you are the descendant of Du Ruhui, the famous minister of the Taizong period, Duke Du. ”
"General Li, the ancestor of the family is Du Ruhuigong, just let Neng be unfilial, insult the reputation of the ancestors, and make the general laugh." Du Rangneng hugged his fist at Li Xuanqing and said: "Lord Sun is also maintaining the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty, please forgive the general for his rude crime." ”
Li Xuanqing shook his head and said, "I can understand Lord Sun's desire to maintain the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty, but I can't favor one over the other. Although I, Li Xuanqing, am the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, I am not loyal to one person and one surname, but I am determined to fight for the people of the world. The reason why the royal family is high is not determined by heaven, but recognized by the people. Today, there is chaos, eunuchs are in power, the princes are divided, and the people are miserable. I wonder whose fault Master Sun thinks this is? In the past, my Tang Dynasty was closed for thousands of miles, and all countries came to the dynasty, what is it like now? Lord Sun wouldn't think it was the fault of the people, right? ”
"Then General Li thinks this is the emperor's fault?" Sun Kuo sneered: "I think it's all the disaster of your feudal towns, since Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the edicts of the feudal towns in various places for Chang'an are yang and yin, listen to the propaganda and do not listen to the tune, the emperor's edict does not go out of Chang'an, and even more, openly create chaos, before Qin Zongquan claimed to be the emperor without authorization, and then there was Zhu Mei and Li Xi vainly trying to stand on their own feet and harm the world, but the worst is you - Li Xuanqing, Emperor Zhaozong ascended the throne in Chang'an, as a member of the clan, you don't want to assist Your Majesty Kuang Fu Chaogang, but you raised troops and made a rebellion, so that Your Majesty was exiled in the Eastern Capital, But he occupied the palace, violated the etiquette system, and openly sat on the throne, what do you want to do? You are a blatant rebellion, what is the difference between you and Qin Zongquan and Li Xi? What's more, you are still chattering in this Changqing Palace, if I were you, you should die on top of the dragon pillar, so that future generations of history books can leave you some reputation. ”
These words made everyone present change their complexion, Hu Xiaosi couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and reprimanded: "Sun Kui, what kind of thing are you, dare to roar the palace here?" I think you are the one who should be killed by a headfirst crash, don't you claim to be a loyal servant? When Yang Fugong was in charge of the government, I didn't see any amazing moves from you? Why, you didn't dare to scold Yang Fugong when Yang Fugong was in the court, and now that my lord is here, you feel proud, do you think that my Tiance Mansion can't kill you or what? It's a shame that I thought you were a loyal minister, and you didn't even dare to scold a eunuch? Don't dare to say, let him control the government, manipulate the emperor to abolish the establishment, and mislead the country and the people, you go and see for yourself, how many people in Chang'an City hate this eunuch so much, I will go to post a notice later, just say that you, Sun Kui, on behalf of Yang Fugong, came to ridicule and insult my Tiance Mansion Commander, and threatened to make my lord commit suicide to apologize, I will see if the people of Chang'an will break your body into thousands of pieces, and break your bones and ashes. Later generations will not leave you a word saying that you are a loyal minister and a filial son, so that you will completely become Yang Fugong's lackey and eunuch's canine teeth. ”
Hu Xiaosi's words were extremely hurried, and after he finished speaking, he was still angry, and roared angrily: "Since the beginning of the army, my Tiance Army has put the people first in everything, carrying the wishes of all the people in the world. ”
As soon as his words were finished, they were even more powerful than what Sun Kuan had just said, and even Sun Kuan himself was dumbfounded, and then his face flushed even more, and he pointed at Hu Xiaosi in a daze: "You-you——。 ”
"What are you? You can't speak, right? I despise people like you the most in my life, and I don't dare to do anything to those violent traitors and rebels, but I can do everything I can to slander those who have made great contributions to the country, lest others not know what kind of character you are. Now that someone has been exposed to the trick, what's wrong? Speechless? Hu Xiaosi sneered when he saw Sun Kuo's appearance: "Old thief, if I were you, you would just pack up and hide in the deep mountains and old forests, don't come out and be embarrassed." ”
Xu Tianxiang beside him couldn't listen to these words, so he grabbed Hu Xiaosi, who was getting more and more excited, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Sun, although General Hu's words just now are a bit extreme, what he said is not a lie. Why was Yang Fugong silent about his various evil deeds when he was in the court? Why did my father-in-law speak out as soon as he arrived in Chang'an? This double standard is too obvious, right? Why did my Tiance Mansion turn a blind eye to the actions of the country and the people? And blindly nitpicking on these false etiquette? The lord of my family is the general of Tiance, which is the name of Emperor Taizong back then, and he is responsible for sweeping away the rebellion and rebuilding the Tang Dynasty. If you insult my father-in-law, you are an enemy of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of our Tiance Army, and you are also an enemy of the thousands of people in the world who yearn for peace. ”
Li Xuanqing waved his hand, interrupting Xu Tianxiang and Hu Xiaosi to continue to make trouble, and turned his head to Sun Kui, who was shaking his beard, and said: "Lord Sun, in fact, the way to behave and be an official should not be foolish and loyal, and it is actually not wrong for adults to be loyal to the Tang Emperor, the key is to see if the emperor can represent the people of the world." Today's world is not the world of my Li surname, but the world of all the people in the world. Therefore, whether it is an official or a person, it is loyal to the people of the world, and being able to think about and serve the people is the hero needed in this era. I'm not saying that I can represent the people, I'm talking about Li Xuanqing and Tiance Mansion will try to use every bit of strength to stabilize the people. The people think that Tiance Mansion is good, then it is really good. Whether I, Li Xuanqing, have plotted to usurp the dynasty, I don't count if I say it, and it doesn't count if you Sun Kuo says it, then it has to be said by the people of the world. Because the people are the force that promotes the development of the general trend of the world step by step, and only the people are the driving force behind the endless creation of the general trend of history. ”
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. This is Xuanqing's ambition, and it is also the goal that Tiance Mansion has struggled to achieve today from scratch. I can tolerate insulting remarks from adults, but the expectations of our group of hundreds of thousands of people cannot allow adults to insult. Besides, the principle of Tiance Mansion is that we will treat it with courtesy if we can follow our banner, and if we can't agree with the belief of Tiance Mansion, we will not use it no matter how talented we are. My lord, please go back, go back and see with your own eyes and your own heart, what do the people need now? Is it your foolishness? ”
Li Xuanqing's words made the surrounding Cen Tianshi, Xu Tianxiang and Hu Xiaosi stand up, and the three of them unanimously made a gesture to Sun Yu to send off the guests, but they didn't notice that the other person in the Changqing Palace heard Li Xuanqing's words just now.
