Chapter 407: The Great Commander of the Jilin Road March
After Jin Renwen arrived in Chang'an, he made a pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven and cried to the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty about the evil act of killing the monarch and killing his siblings.
Li Zhi'an appeased Jin Ren and asked, but he did not express his position directly.
After many days, Jin Renwen brought a large amount of gold and silver goods to visit the prime ministers and important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, hoping that they could help administer justice.
Everyone accepted the money that Jin Ren asked, but few people really planned to help him speak.
For them, a prince of a feudal state, where can he compare with the Jiangshan Sheji of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Daozong even bluntly said that no matter whether Jin Famin really killed the king and killed his brother, as long as he succeeded to the throne and served the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain, continued to be loyal to the king, and jointly attacked Goguryeo for the Tang Dynasty, then everything else would matter.
Such Chiguoguo's words are mostly the voices of other prime ministers.
Who cares if you are a prince of a feudal state, everyone cares about the interests of the Tang Dynasty.
"Li Xiao is doing more and more freely in Baekje!"
"I think it's a bulge."
"Baekje is about to become his personal domain."
Li Daozong knocked on the table, "Li San's achievements in Baekje are still very conspicuous, and someone else may not be able to manage the land of Baekje so well." ”
Zhongshu ordered Li Ji to also speak for Li Xiao, "At the beginning, the imperial court decided to go west and then east, and drew almost all the troops from Liaodong and Baekje, leaving Li Xiao with only 3,000 old and weak and disabled, Li Xiao can be said to be in danger, a young man carried the entire Baekje with a few strengths, I thought that Li Xiao would not be able to carry it for long, but in fact, he not only carried it down, but also did a good job." ”
Li Xiao not only pacified the restoration of the Baekje people, but also restored order and started production. Now Baekje no longer needs a grain of rice from the imperial court, and it is constantly transporting money and silk taxes back to the Central Plains, as far as I know, Li Xiao has already handed over millions of wealth to the imperial court in one year in Baekje, right? This amount of money is higher than the financial income of more than 1,000 counties in more than 300 states and 1,000 counties in the entire world of Datang last year. ”
Datang takes rent as a positive tax, mainly pays in kind, and does not collect many taxes on money and silk, so there are indeed not many money collected every year, and it is only two or three million yuan. Lee Ji was right to say that Baekje had paid more money than the national treasury.
"Li Xiao has picked up the bottom of the Baekje royal family, nobles, and powerful people, and he actually picked up tens of millions of dollars and made a fortune. As a result, this kid only paid a few million to the court, and only paid one-third! ”
Li Ji laughed twice.
Then the prime minister was silent, Li Xiao did only hand over one-third, but one-third of them were several million, which had already exceeded the original court's money and wealth collection for a year in addition to the regular tax, which was already a very remarkable thing.
Even if the prime ministers present here go to Baekje in person, they may not be able to achieve such political achievements. Not to mention, wasn't Cui Dunli also the prime minister before, and he was appointed as the protector of Anxi, but he took office for a year, not only did he not bring half a penny income to the imperial court, but also knew that he wanted money and people to ask for food, and the imperial court invested 200,000 troops into it, and also invested millions of dollars and silk, which can be described as a bottomless pit.
If it weren't for the support of the money handed over by Li Xiao'an's Dongdao, how could such a large-scale war in the Western Regions still last today, and the food logistics would have had to withdraw the troops long ago.
"But you can't let Li Xiao go too far, today's Andong Dao is said to be one of the twelve ways of the imperial court, but over there, Li Xiao has seven envoys, and the deputy capital protector and governor is also the assassin history, basically Andong Dao has the final say, and the military officials and financial power are all in his body, which is not in line with the rules of the court."
Li Ji said, "Extraordinary things are done at extraordinary times, Andong Province is newly established, it is just the old land of Baekje that has just been conquered, to put it mildly, at the beginning, there were many princes in the court who even thought that there was no need to be included as a prefecture and county directly under the court, and it should be set up as a state of Jimi, so that those Baekje princes and nobles could be governors, assassins, and county commanders, are you so forgetful?" ”
Li Ji brought up the old matter, but what he said was the truth, but many people thought that after Baekje was conquered, there was no need to send officials over, and it would be good to directly set it up as a state of detainment. And if this was the case at the beginning, where is the income of millions of dollars a year now?
Now that Li Xiao is in Andong Province, he has not only levied a lot of money and silk, but also has reclaimed tens of thousands of hectares of tuntian cultivated land there, and there are 80,000 soldiers and townsmen, so it can be said that today's old land of Baekje has become the strongest bridgehead and base for the imperial court's next attack on Goguryeo.
Even more important than the Liaodong front.
After all, Liaodong still has to rely on countless money and grain from the imperial court every year to support, and Li Xiao is now able to be self-sufficient.
All of this is the credit of Li Xiao alone, who only had 3,000 old and weak wounded soldiers left to him by the imperial court, plus a few empty envoys.
At this time, it is said that Li Xiaoquan has regained more titles, isn't this nonsense?
"It is said that it will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected." Li Ji said slowly, "Since Li Xiao thinks that this Jin Famin is unreliable, then we, the prime ministers who are far away in the court, have to listen to the advice of this general who is on the front line." If Kim Famin is really unreliable, then this is a hidden danger, it is better to canonize Kim Wenren as king now and eliminate these double-minded Silla people. ”
"But Yinggong, now the people of Silla are not as anti-Tang as Li Xiao said?"
"Do you have to wait for them to turn around?" Li Ji asked rhetorically.
The prime ministers had a controversy, but the result was also fruitless.
The matter was finally brought to the emperor's court and the emperor was asked to adjudicate it.
In the newly completed Daming Palace, Li Zhi held his daughter Princess Taiping and teased, and Empress Wu checked the chapter on behalf of the emperor. If it is not too important, it will be put aside, and the emperor will not read it, and if the important one is put on the other side, she will sometimes read it to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, how should this be approved?" Empress Wu asked.
"This is not simple, since Li Xiao said that Jin Famin is a guy who kills the king and kills his brother and is against the Tang Dynasty, then we naturally can't canonize him as the king of Silla."
"The edict was ordered to deprive Kim Famin of the official title, crown Kim In-wen as the king of Silla, and take Li Xiao as the chief of the Jilin Road march, and send troops to ask for the crime and crusade!"
"Your Majesty believes in Li Xiao like that?" Empress Wu asked.
"I do believe in Li Xiao, but I don't believe in him alone. What Li Xiao played, in fact, the Baiqi Division also had twists and turns, and what he said coincided with Li Xiao's. Jin Chunqiu's death is unknown, and the Silla palace has indeed undergone palace changes, plus this Jin Famin is indeed not a person loyal to the Tang Dynasty, so I think it is in the interests of my Tang Dynasty to canonize Kim In-wen as the king of Silla. ”
"Let Li Xiaofa ask the guilt, will Silla plead guilty? What if Goguryeo took the opportunity to make trouble? ”
"Give Xue Rengui another edict, let him also practice and drill soldiers and horses in Liaodong to deter the Goguryeo people."
