Chapter 659: Marching East (3)
"Your Majesty! Another thing is that if Your Majesty wants to personally conquer Liaodong, you must arrange personnel issues, which not only will weaken the strength of the families around Guanlong, and not let them support the crown prince to ascend the throne in Chang'an, but also that you must strengthen the staff around Your Majesty to ensure the circulation of imperial power and government affairs! After Li Jiancheng heard Wei Zheng's words, he fell into contemplation again - indeed, this is a big problem, at the beginning, Yang Guang went out on tour and placed his three grandsons, Emperor Gong of Sui (acting king) Yang Yu, Huangtai Lord (King of Yue) Yang Tong, and Yan King Yang Qi respectively in Chang'an, Luoyang and staying by his side, which was to weaken the consideration of the Guanlong family, but because it was not well planned, during the chaos in the Central Plains, Chang'an, Luoyang and Jiang all formed three independent courts, which divided the entire Guanlong family into three parts. Chang'an and Luoyang both supported a master, and Yu Wenhua and rebellion in Jiangdu also wanted to set up a new master to find a way out for themselves.
"Xuancheng! You're right! In addition, in order to confuse Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, I decided to send envoys to the Three Kingdoms and the Jeju tribe in the name of mediation to delay the time for Goguryeo to send troops. Of course, Hyun Sung's suggestion is very good, Hyun Sung, you said to strengthen the staff team around me, and tell me what you think. ”
"Your Majesty! What the minister wants to say to His Majesty is that after His Majesty opened the imperial examination, he opened the way for many people to enter the office, but after these people were admitted to the Jinshi, most of the people who stayed in Beijing were from the family, and many members of the ministry were mostly from the Guanlong family, and Your Majesty, it is better to take this opportunity to select some capable ministers from the local area to enrich the major yamen in Chang'an. "Actually, Wei Zheng said that Li Jiancheng has long noticed that although Fang Xuanling is a secretary of the ministry, he is in charge of the assessment and promotion of officials in the world, but the officials in Chang'an, especially the subordinates of the yamen of the major ministries, are mostly registered in Guanzhong and Longxi counties, forming a powerful force, at the beginning, Fang Xuanling once said such a thing, when Fang Xuanling was just in charge of the ministry, he was secretly squeezed out by many subordinates, and even put Fang Xuanling in the air, if it were not for Li Jiancheng's authority, there was also Fang Xuanling's own talent, I'm afraid that Fang Xuanling will be completely elevated. Even so, Fang Xuanling had to compromise, and on the issue of evaluating and promoting officials, many times, Fang Xuanling also turned one eye open and closed one eye. After listening to Wei Zheng's words, Fang Xuanling immediately supported. However, Xu Jingzong sang the opposite:
"Your Majesty, what Lord Wei Zheng said is indeed reasonable, but the minister is afraid that if this method is adopted, on the one hand, a large number of idle officials may be produced, which will affect the efficiency of the capital! The most important thing is that if this matter triggers a backlash from the officials of the Guanlong family, I am afraid that when the time comes, it will backfire. Wei Zheng did not refute Xu Jingzong's words for a while, Leng was there, and Li Jiancheng relieved Wei Zheng of the siege.
"Don't quarrel with the two Aiqing for the time being, Di Renjie!" Di Renjie heard Li Jiancheng calling himself, and hurriedly responded:
"Your Majesty, the minister is here!"
"Passing on the edict to Shangshu Province, ordering Shangshu Province to issue an announcement, saying that there is a dispute in Liaodong, I want to brainstorm, and order all the officials in the world to write a letter to talk about the situation in Liaodong, in addition, all the memoirs, Di Renjie, you will be stationed in Menxia Province, as soon as the memorabilia comes, you will collect it, seal it, and send it to me immediately, and I will personally open it." Di Renjie seemed to have known Li Jiancheng's intentions. Immediately nodded. When Shangshu Province sent Li Jiancheng's edict to all parts of Li Tang, many people who felt that they were depressed saw hope in it. Chang'an, Youwangfu.
"Ahh Text, since Jingzhou is goodbye, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Come on, come on! I'm going to have a few more drinks today! ”
"Thank you, King You! When King Youwang was honored with the position of Great Zongzheng, he did not come to congratulate him, which was a sin of humiliation! ”
"Ugh! What are you talking about? At the beginning, when the Jingzhou Daxingtai Yamen was abolished, the king received a holy decree to raise the capital, and the king once said that he wanted you to raise the capital with the king, and also said that your future was wrapped in the king's body, you tried your best to resign, saying that the mother and brother were young and could not bear the bumps on the road, and then the king heard that you were abolished because of the Jingzhou Xingtai Yamen, and your official position was also dismissed, the king was very heartbroken, by the way, did you receive the silver money and food I sent every year? Also, is Reido's health okay!? ”
"Lord, thank you for your money and food, if it weren't for the silver money and food you send every year, I'm afraid that with the family background below, my mother would have followed my father in the ground. Now it just so happens that the younger brother has grown up, and this time he came to Chang'an to participate in next year's imperial examination, and by the way, he also wanted to take the path of the prince to see if he could enter the government and serve the imperial court. After hearing Cen Wenwen's words, Li Ying nodded.
"O text! You're right! A manly man should take the world as his own responsibility, and of course, he must also strive for his own fame in history. As he spoke, Li Ying took out the official document sent from Menxia Province:
"O text! This is the Emperor's holy decree! Because the situation in Liaodong is endangered, the emperor issued an order to ask the officials of the world to brainstorm and order all the officials in the world to write a letter to talk about the situation in Liaodong, and you can also talk about your thoughts! ”
"Ahh Thank you for the mention! After reading Li Jiancheng's edict, Cen Wenwen put pen to paper:
The ministers have heard that it is difficult to create the cause of chaos; It is not easy to keep the foundation that has been established. The former residence is prepared for danger, so it is determined that the world has a beginning and an end, so it is long. Today, although the hundreds of millions of people are safe and sound, and the Quartet is peaceful, after the chaos of the canopy, and after the withering, there are still many losses in the household registration, and there is still little land reclamation. The grace of covering is wonderful, but the sore has not yet recovered; The trend of morality and religion is widespread, and assets are repeatedly empty. Take the ancients planting trees as an analogy, and when the age is old, the branches and leaves are luxuriant; If the day of planting is shallow, and it is not fixed at all, although it is cultivated with thick soil, and it is warm in spring, and one person shakes it, it will surely wither. Today's people are quite similar to this. If you keep it often, it will multiply day by day; The sudden conscription of conscription will be followed by economic depletion. If the withering is too bad, then people will not be able to make a living; If people are bored, they will be full of resentment; If the resentment is full, the heart of rebellion will arise. Therefore, Emperor Shun said: "Cute is not a king, but terrible is not human." Kong Anguo explained: "People take the king as their life, so they are cute; If the king loses his way, people rebel against him, so it is terrible. Confucius said: "The king is like a boat, the person is like water, and the water can carry the boat or overturn the boat." It is the principle of the wise kings of ancient times, although they do not rest, they are cautious every day. Your Majesty looks at the past and present, examines the opportunity of safety and danger, and puts the community as the priority, and the bottom thinks of billions of trillions. Bright election, prudent rewards and punishments, into the talent, not to retire. Smell the change, from the advice like a stream, for the good lies in not doubting, the order must be believed. Cultivating the spirit, saving the entertainment of hunting and playing; Go to extravagance and frugality, and reduce the cost of labor and service. Xiujing in the garden, without seeking to open up the soil; Keep your bows and arrows away, but don't forget your weapons. We must not forget that there is only hatred among foreign races. His Majesty should be prepared for danger in times of peace, and take advantage of this Goguryeo Rebellion to pacify Goguryeo in one fell swoop, and may even take Silla and Baekje into his pocket. to restore my homeland in the Central Plains. Chen, the former Jingzhou Xingtai subordinate official Cen text kneeling.
When Cen Wenwen's recital was sent to Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng saw Cen Wenwen's recital, and greatly appreciated Cen Wenwen's calligraphy, and issued an order to make Cen Wenwen the secretary. In charge of the writing of edicts. Named the son of Gangneung County.
Chang'an Pei Lone's Guogong Mansion. Pei Lin was drinking tea in the house. Thinking back to the days when he was the prime minister, how prosperous the whole mansion was at the beginning, and now, with the continuous decentralization of the Emperor Li Yuan, his responsibility is only to accompany Li Yuan to talk and watch the play. However, he can't leave Chang'an, because Li Yuan is still alive, and older people always like old friends next to them. In addition, the death of Wu Shiyan also hit Li Yuan very hard, so he often sent people to greet him in his mansion and ask about his physical condition. Just as Pei Lin was recalling his interaction with Li Yuan, at this time, he only heard a noisy voice, which made Pei Lin upset.
"Someone's coming!"
"Xiangye!"
"What the hell is going on, why is it so noisy!"
"Enlightened Xiangye! The concierge at the door reported that there was a disturbance at the door. ”
"Trouble! Someone in my dignified prime minister's mansion dared to make trouble at my door! Walk! Take me to see it! When Pei Lin came to the door, he saw a strong man standing, and more than a dozen family members were lying on the ground at the door, and there was one under the feet of the strong man. And there are several family members with steel knives standing at the door, one by one.
"Hahaha! You dog slaves who look down on people, when I Pei Xingjian is a vegetarian, hum! Behold me as a lesson for you! What a bunch of dog minions who don't know whether to live or die! Pei Lin saw the strong man, and then saw the family member who fell to the ground and struggled.
"Stop! Stop it! When the strong man saw Pei Lone, he immediately let go of the family under his feet, and quickly came to Pei Lone and knelt down:
"Ahh You must be Uncle Pei! In the next Pei Xing thrifty! His father was Pei Renji, a former Sui general. It was my mother who asked me to come to you. begged Uncle Pei to take in the little nephew for the sake of the descendants of the Pei family in Hedong, and recommended the little nephew to serve the imperial court. Pei Lin looked at the strong man, and saw that the strong man was tall, and the clothes on his body were very simple, but they were very clean. The porter at the door also wanted to complain to Pei Lian:
"Xiangye! This person trespassed into the Prime Minister's Mansion! And beat people! ”
"Bastard, you must be waiting for the battle to bully others, don't hurry up and retreat!" After listening to Pei Lian's words, the porter immediately shut up.
"Young man, you said that your father is Bae In-ki, what evidence do you have?" The strong man took out a letter and jade pendant from his bosom:
"Xiangye, this is the letter and jade pendant that my father left for my mother, you will know it when you read it!" Pei Lin pinched the jade pendant in his hand and saw that the jade pendant was engraved with the word Pei. Also, read the letter again.
"Ahh Pei Xian's nephew! Come in! ”
