Chapter 529: It's hard to defend the country

But how to start, including Yang Chong, is hesitating, there is no need, it can only be a means to be used when the situation is critical, and during the peaceful years, it is better to be gentle. Zhang Guolao didn't mind and said, "You can inquire about the news from Gong Yizhuo and Zhou Qian." ”

Gong Yizhuo had helped Li Yuan plan for several years, and Zhou Qian had worked hard to manage the intelligence network for decades, and the clues that the two of them had were actually like two treasure mountains, but Yang Chong's heart was indeed big enough, they were both in Chang'an, and he never asked the two about the past. It is good to say that it is difficult to abide by integrity, not to force others; If you don't say it well, it's pedantic, Yang Chong, you are a businessman, where did you come from those bad things about scholars.

Yang Chong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm afraid that I will be deceived by the two of them and affect my judgment." ”

Meng Fu smiled considerately and said: "The head of the family doesn't have to come forward, Xu Kang and I ask according to the practice of the government, and if they want to say it, we will listen, and if they don't want to say it, forget it." ”

Meng Fu and Xu Kang went together, but Zhou Qian said that he didn't know; Regardless of the secrets of the Quentian Pavilion and some of Li Tang's privacy, Gong Yizhuo is still willing to say it. defected to Yang Chong, in addition to no longer recognizing Li Yuan, Gong Yizhuo still hoped to continue the fate of Quentian Pavilion, and did not want Yang Chong to feel that he was pretentious; Gong Yizhuo knows Xu Hongke in the rivers and lakes, a native of Suzhou, Wu County, who began to travel the world at the age of fifteen, was in Jiangdu at the age of twenty-four, and settled in Qi County at the age of thirty.

Gong Yizhuo smiled and said: "In Li Yuan's place, I haven't seen Xu Hongke, he was noticed by us, he entered and exited the Four Great Avenues when he was in Jiangdu, and was known as the leader of the next generation in the martial arts. At that time, he went to Qi County, we don't know the reason, but now we look at it, Wang Bo and Meng Rang rebelled, and Yang Chong strangely took in Luo Shixin, which may be the reason. ”

Meng Fu and Xu Kang were stunned, how early it should be, and the two thanked Gong Yi and turned back; Meng Fu asked Xu Kang to find Meng Rang to draw Xu Hongke's avatar, and he hurriedly went to Yang Chong to discuss. Meng Fu had a feeling that Wei Xuan's change in attitude towards Yang Chong was related to Xu Hongke, and Wei Gui returned to Wei Xuan's side when Wei Xuan was left behind in Chang'an. After hearing this, Yang Chong agreed with Meng Tuo's point of view, anyway, now Jiangdu and other regions are under his control, and he ordered Meng Tuo to investigate one item at a time.

Wei Xuan's death still made waves in the court, and many people speculated that Yang Chong must have made some demands before Wei Xuan committed suicide; The debate between the two sides became more and more intense, and Wei Wei Liang Shuo suggested that the nursery rhyme of "Yang Hua Fall and Li Hua Bloom" was stopped by Yang Chong, who said casually: "It is difficult to fight the country, and it is even more difficult to defend the country." This is the people's concern for the imperial court, for us it is an exam, if we succeed, we will finally eliminate Li Tang, and if we fail, it will be a continuous war. ”

As a time-traveler, Yang Chong knew more about the rise and fall of dynasties than anyone in the palace, and did not believe that the so-called nursery rhymes could change the situation; Yang Chong is more worried about the livelihood of the people, and if they don't have food, the people will rebel. Yang Chong asked Yu Xuan to read out and explain the policy towards Hebei, tax exemption, provision of grain from Hekou Cang, and investigation of rebellion in collusion with Li Tang; The first two are to stabilize the people's hearts, the latter one is to make up for the finances, and they can collude with Li Tang, and the other one is not a local wealthy family.

There was silence in the hall for a while, Yang Chong's attitude towards the family was known to the world, and those families who stood on the wrong side would definitely suffer the bloody rain; But no one came out to speak, Li Shimin was still in Beiping, and no one dared to guarantee that these people would not continue to do things that made Yang Chong unhappy. Wei Xuan's matter is a clear example, if he wasn't afraid, Wei Xuan's people would be seventy or eighty, why would he commit suicide.

Si Nongqing Murong Zhengze came out to ease the atmosphere and reported a happy event, that is, the promotion of Zhancheng rice, 80 percent of the Zhancheng rice popularized between the Jianghuai and Huaihe has been planted for two seasons, and the output is more than twice that of the original year. Zhang Bojian's grain ship brought back 20,000 stone a little late, on both sides of the Yangtze River, especially in Kunshan and other places to try planting, although the weather is cold, but sixty percent of the fields still harvest an extra season; Next year, Sinong Temple will be promoted in Jiangnan and large-scale planting of Champong rice.

Murong Zhengze's eyebrows were filled with joy, and if he could promote Zhancheng rice in his own hands, he would definitely be able to leave a name in history, even if it was a stroke by the way, it was enough. More people in the hall are regretful, if this kind of grain can grow in Guanzhong, Guanzhong will definitely be able to restore the glory of the country of abundance in history, but unfortunately, the main area is on the territory of the Jianghuai army.

Emperor Fu Wuyi of the Imperial History came out and asked, "What are Cheng's plans for Jiangnan?" ”

Huangfu Wuyi no longer had any doubts about Yang Chong's sweeping of the world, so he did not hesitate to offend people and asked, even if Hebei and Shandong were all in pieces, the big deal was reconstruction; But in Jiangnan, Du Fuwei controlled an army of more than 100,000, and almost all the officials were from the Jianghuai Army or were demoted. Once the food increases greatly and attracts the people to live, who can guarantee that the conditions will be made in Li Tang, or that Du Fuwei will wake up one day and not change his mind and re-divide the territory.

Yang Chong smiled gently and motioned for Du Yan to explain. Yang Chong is still thinking about giving full play to the role of the granary of Taihu Lake, and the other is to start solving the Nanban problem. Yang Chong had the impulse to go to Jiangnan on a whim, but he also knew that there were too many things that needed to be done in Hebei and Shandong, so he forced his temperament to talk about it later.

To the surprise of most people, the political hall appointed Li Jing as the marshal of the southeast road, Fu Gongyou as the general of Zuo Wuwei, Wang Xiong as the county guard of Huiji, Kan Ling as the county guard of Danyang, Chen Ling as the county guard of Wu County, Qu Tutong, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, as the commander of Jiangdu, Yu Qintao as the county commander of Jiangdu, and Li Baiyao as the Zhongshu Sheren. The Jianghuai transfer envoy that everyone cared about, the last one to be finalized was Kou Jiuhui, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was replaced by Yu Shinan.

In this Hebei War, how many people openly and secretly praised Yang Chong for making good use of Luo Shixin, Liu Heimin, and Song Jingang, but also regretted Yang Chong's softness and did not send anyone to assassinate Li Shimin. Yang Chong's arrangement, presumably has his unique considerations, Yu Qintao and Kou Jiuheng are all people trusted by Yang Chong, especially Yu Qintao, who has a good relationship with Yang Chong, after the Hexi Army entered Chang'an, he hung up the false name of a foreigner in the household department, running around all day long, and never thought that he would be suddenly enabled by Yang Chong this time.

In fact, Zuo Xiaowei's chief Shi Cui Deben and Zuo Xiaowei's general Fei Yao are both more experienced than Yu Qintao, but Yang Chong knows Qu Tutong's feelings for Yang Guang's family, and he doesn't want to give Yang Ciyou and others a chance to start; Yu Qintao will definitely not listen to Qu Tutong. In order to intensify his efforts, Yang Chong released Pei Qiantong, Niu Fangyu, Xue Shiliang, Tang Fengyi, and Gao Yuanli, who had been in prison, and let them make meritorious contributions.
