Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the spring of the first year of Dingding, Gengchen in February, the imperial civilization palace looked at the court, the guards were like ceremonies, the palace was hung with music, and the ministers were in place.

......

"Imperial Decree: Prime Minister Feng Daojia Sikong, Third Envoy Ren Yuanjia Situ, Imperial Historian Li Qijia Lieutenant."

"Imperial Decree: Take the privy envoy An Zhongzhu as the left servant to shoot, and add the school master."

"Imperial Decree: Take the commander of the army, horses, and infantry in front of the palace, Xia Ruqi as the privy envoy, and add the school master."

"Imperial Decree: Take Mo Li, the guest of the crown prince, as the middle book order, add the school captain, and seal Cai Guogong."

"Imperial Decree: Take the crown prince Zhan Shiweidao as his subordinate servant, and also serve as the secretary of the military department."

"Imperial Decree: Take Wang Pu, the son of Zuo, as the secretary of the book, and the secretary of the ministry."

"Imperial Decree: Command Guo Wei with the guards and pro-army horses and infantry troops, and inspect the guards and pro-army."

"Imperial Decree: King Lu Li Congke Jia Taishi, Tongping Zhangshi, Right Servant Shooting."

In the hundred-step civilization hall, the ministers bowed their heads to receive the edict.

After the emperor's case, there was a man who wore a crown: and his crown was also covered with a golden crown plate, eight inches wide and one foot six inches long, and twelve white pearls hung down; Dressed in a black robe, the dress is reddish, and there are 12 chapters decorated; Its clothes are also decorated with eight chapters such as the sun, the moon, the stars, the dragon, the mountain, the Chinese insect, the fire, and the sect; Its clothes are also, there are four chapters of algae, powder, yellow, and yellow; waist leather belt, jade hook; Feet on black leather six-fold boots, waist wearing Lu Lu jade sword.

- Dazzling, majestic, unable to look directly, like a god and a man.

It is the Tang Emperor Li Congjing!

The emperor, the three emperors of virtue and the five emperors.

The emperor is a man of his word, who acts in the world, and all the people bow down to obey, and do not dare to disobey.

The emperor is the Son of Heaven.

One word can save the common people, one line can destroy the community, one word can make the four seas peaceful, and one line can make the world chaotic.

The emperor, that is, the state.

When the emperor dies at the hands of a foreign enemy, the country is dead.

The emperor, that is, the Tang Dynasty.

The emperor held all the authority of the Tang Dynasty.

After Feng Dao finished reading the edict, he bowed down and saluted Li Congjing.

"Do you have any objections to my edict?" The rising morning sun sprinkled in the hall, and after the imperial case at the end of the sun, Li Congjing's insipid inquiry did not lose his majesty.

"Your Majesty's edict is respectful." The hundreds of officials in two shifts, purple and crimson, all bowed down to salute.

"If there is no objection, it will be promulgated by the world!" Li Congjing waved his sleeves slightly.

With that, he stood up. Li Congjing saw that there are thousands of steps outside the hall, can accommodate 10,000 people, there are several zhang Zhu wall outside the square, people and beasts can not climb over, there are ten zhang attic outside the wall, towering into the clouds, outside the building is the huge Luoyang, outside Luoyang is the world of the Tang Dynasty.

"Retreat!" Li Congjing smiled slightly, left the case with his hands, and the honor guard followed.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Hundreds of officials sent gifts in unison.

Out of the Civilization Palace, there were already eunuchs, palace maids, and court soldiers waiting outside, Li Congjing sat on the royal seat, "Set up the Chongwen Palace, pass the prime minister, and the Chinese book order to discuss matters." ”

"Set up the Chongwen Palace, pass on the prime minister, and the Chinese book order to discuss matters!" Jing Xinmo sang loudly, that is, he led the way in front of the fast step.

.......

"During the state mourning, how is the mourning situation?" Li Congjing sat down behind the imperial case full of chapters, reviewed the chapters for a while, and when Feng Dao and Mo Li arrived, he put down the jade pen and asked the two.

"The envoys of King Wuyue, King Min, King of Bohai, and Emperor Khitan have already arrived, and in addition, the envoys of Cao Yijin, the envoy of Shazhou Jiedu, have also entered the customs, but because the road is difficult, it has been delayed for many days." Feng Dao said so.

"Oh? Hexi is dangerous, and it has always been extremely difficult for Cao Yijin's envoy to go to Luoyang, how can it be so smooth this time? I have heard that the party members are now active in Hexi, and the situation in Huizhou and Liangzhou is tense now, so it should be more difficult for Cao Yijin's envoy to enter the customs. Li Congjing was a little strange.

Mo Li spoke up at this time: "Taotong went to Hexi last year. ”

Li Congjing suddenly fell silent.

This issue is no longer a matter of discussion. No matter how the party's forces secretly invaded Hexi, since Tao Yao was in Hexi, how could Cao Yijin's envoy enter the customs safely.

"How is Tibet?" Since he talked about Hexi, Li Congjing asked about the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

"After the defeat of the Tibetan people, they fell into civil strife, and for decades they fought with each other, and now they are divided, which is why there are many tribes in Hexi...... Those who are close to Cao Yijin have already followed Cao Yijin's envoy. Feng Daoyan said.

"How is Nanzhao?" Li Congjing asked again.

"The envoys of the Great Righteous Ning Kingdom have not yet arrived." Feng Dao replied.

Nanzhao, that is, Yunnan, in the past, had repeatedly violated the border, and later was the former Shu Emperor Wang Jianzhi very miserable, basically no longer invading, but fell into civil strife, infighting, now called Dayi Ningguo, about three years later, Duan Siping will establish Dali.

"How is Lingnan?" Li Congjing asked again.

"The envoy from Lingnan arrived yesterday and presented his credentials, which are about to be presented to His Majesty." Feng Dao said, handing over the paperwork in his hand.

Li Congjing looked at the national letter handed over by Liu Yan, sneered lightly, and threw the document on the imperial case, "Like Yang Wu in the past, he still calls himself emperor." After that, he gave a four-word comment, "I don't know whether I live or die." ”

Mo Li saw that Feng Dao didn't know how to answer for a while, so he answered: "When does Your Majesty plan to use troops to Lingnan?" ”

"This fall." Li Congjing's gaze drifted from Liu Yan's national letter, and he didn't pay much attention.

"Your Minister, please go." Mo Lizhi said.

Li Congjing shook his head, "Send Wu Yue's soldiers to assist, first solve the Fujian land, if the king of Min knows each other, when you know that you should follow the example of Ma Xisheng, the king of Chu, and take the initiative to settle in Luoyang with your cronies, if the king of Min does not know each other, how can you stop my king's iron armor?" When the matter of Fujian is resolved, the army will go south by the way, and if the military rations can also be transported by sea, they can go to Guangzhou in less than a month, so as to avoid the loss of going up the Xiangjiang River and transshipment through the Mio Canal and Lishui. This matter is not difficult, just let Guo Wei take the guards and pro-army. As for you and Meng Ping, there is another place to go. ”

Mo Li thought for a moment when he heard this, and then his eyes lit up slightly, "Your Majesty means ......"

Li Congjing looked at Feng Dao, his voice did not have the slightest emotion, and it was as hard as a cold stone, "If I expected it to be true, the envoys of the feudal towns and towns have each personally entered Luo, but the envoys of the Xiazhou Festival have never come, right?" ”

"......" Feng Dao was stunned, and immediately bowed his head, "Indeed, as Your Majesty expected, it was Li Yichao, a party member, who came from Xiazhou, not Shi Jingjiao, the envoy. ”

Li Congjing sneered, "As a concubine and an envoy, he dared not enter the court at the national funeral, and his courage is really admired by me." ”

Feng Dao opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time before he said: "Shi Jingjiao said in his book that he was injured by thieves when he suppressed bandits last year, and now he is seriously ill and cannot afford to stay in the short term, so he can't enter Luo......"

"Alright." Li Congjing waved his hand, signaling that Feng Dao didn't need to say much, and looked at Mo Li, "Tell me what you think about entering Hexi." ”

"Hexi and the Western Regions are intricately intertwined, and the Tibetans, Uighurs, and Dangxiang tribes live together, all of whom are brave and light to death, and it is not easy for the king to fight. In addition, the land here is barren, it is impossible to obtain grain on the spot, and all the grain and materials are transported by Gyeonggi, and the roads are rugged, and the road is very bad, and the cost of 10,000 soldiers on the front line must be supported by 100,000 young and strong...... If Your Majesty wants to restore the land of the Western Regions, it will not be a one-time achievement to set up the Anxi Protectorate or the Western Regions Province. Mo Li briefly expressed his opinion.

Li Congjing touched his chin, and his smile did not see the depth, "If I want to determine the Western Regions, I must completely pacify the Western Regions, and even if there are thieves and foreign enemies in the future, I must be as stable as Mount Tai." Instead of the army pulling over to fight a few battles, it was not easy to win, and the place fell into chaos after the army was divided. ”

Speaking of this, Li Congjing said to Mo Li seriously: "You go and get a charter for this matter, you have to consider everything in every detail, and then discuss it with me, I am not afraid to wait for a few years, but I will never allow the soldiers to shed blood in vain and the people to send food in vain!" ”

"The minister respectfully obeys the edict." Don't leave and bow down.

Li Congjing was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Send a message to Tao Yaoyao, let her come back." ”

Mo Li was a little surprised, because Li Congjing said that he was passing the message, not the order, "Yes." ”

Until he left Chongwen Palace, Feng Dao still didn't figure out why Li Congjing mentioned the matter of Xiazhou, and then discussed with Mo Li the entire Hexi and Western Regions, but he was also a lively person, and soon thought of the possibility, so he caught up with Mo Li in the corridor, "Mo Zhongshu, does Your Majesty think that Shi Jingjiao will rebel?" ”

Only when the two things of using troops to Xiazhou and using troops to Hexi are combined into one, Li Congjing will put these two things together.

Mo Li smiled, "I definitely don't dare to raise the banner of rebellion, but I can't use troops to Hexi." ”

Feng Dao was stunned.

Mo Li didn't quite understand why Li Congjing was sure that Shi Jingjiao would use troops to Hexi, although the party members had begun to infiltrate Hexi, but this was far from enough. If Li Congjing can consider using troops against Hexi when Fujian and Lingnan have not yet been pacified, it can only show that he is very sure that this matter will happen soon.

Feng Dao didn't understand even more, if Xiazhou used troops to Hexi, if it joined forces with the Shazhou Guiyi Army and made the Hexi tribes submit, wouldn't it mean that the Tang Dynasty regained Hexi?

Only Li Congjing himself knows that after the party members take possession of Hexi, they will establish their own kingdom of Western Xia, instead of giving him to the imperial court - Song Taizong's "hostility" to the party members is Li Congjing's "hostility" to Shi Jingjing at the moment, to a certain extent, Shi Jingjiao, who has united the party members at present, has assumed the leadership of the party members in the future, and Li Jiqian, the leader of the party people who are enemies and conquests against Zhao and Song, so history will definitely develop like that, and it will be advanced.

The use of troops to Xiazhou, Hexi, and the Western Regions is a secret and requires sufficient preparations, and Li Congjing is not very anxious. After Mo Li and Wei Dao left, Li Congjing summoned Zhu Changzhi, the political envoy of Huaidong Province, who was about to go to Yangzhou to take up his post.

Zhu Changzhi is also a bold and heroic person, but since he entered the Chongwen Palace, he doesn't know if it was because the palace was too large, he looked too small in it, or the emperor who was sitting behind the imperial case and no one standing on the left and right was too majestic, and he felt like a hundred pounds of weight.

"Yangzhou is the prosperous land of Huaidong, the merchants are prosperous, the commercial market can be described as an inch of land, the rent is two more than Luoyang, and it costs fifty yuan a day to hire a coolie, but the pattern of shops in the east market is not very good, the division of various commercial goods is not very reasonable, and the wine shop is too far away from the grain store...... In recent years, Yangzhou has been prosperous in businessmen, and there are too many sericulture plantings, encroaching on a lot of fertile land for growing grain...... All these are the problems you need to solve when you go to Yangzhou, and you should do your best. ”

Grains of sweat broke out on Zhu Changzhi's forehead, Li Congjing just said a lot of Huaidong's affairs, all-encompassing, even if he had been in Jianghuai for a long time, he didn't know as well as Li Congjing, which made him feel great pressure, "The minister also has a plan for this, and the minister plans to ......"

After listening to Zhu Changzhi's performance, Li Congjing pointed out a few times, and suddenly smiled, "After talking about political affairs for almost half an hour, you and I are tired, and we gossip for a while." I heard that Ling Lang entered the Yanwu Academy a year ago, I don't know how his studies are? ”

"Don't dare to ask Your Majesty, go back to Your Majesty, the dog's studies are acceptable, and he won a high evaluation in the last big exam." Zhu Changzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his forehead was sweaty, a little uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to move if he wanted to wipe it.

"The evaluation of Jiazhong is very rare, and there may not be three or two out of a hundred people, it seems that Ling Lang is also extraordinary." Li Congjing smiled, and then chatted with Zhu Changzhi, asked some things about Lu, and also introduced him to some Luoyang scenery, and the content was also huge and omniscient.

After about a moment, Li Congjing restrained his smile and said with a straight face: "Qing Xing Yangzhou is the political envoy of Huaidong, and Huaidong is the source of rice and grain for the imperial court. I am often afraid that my ancestors will be lost, and I will never see each other again in the future. ”

Zhu Changzhi hurriedly bowed, "The minister must do his best, and dare not disappoint the holy hope!" ”

After a lot of time, Zhu Changzhi came out of Chongwen Palace.

When he went out of the palace, he met Feng Dao, he and Feng Dao had worked together in Jianghuai, they knew each other well, and they couldn't help but say a few words when they met.

Zhu Changzhi sighed with indignation: "Your Majesty's handling of the affairs of this province is exhaustive, big and small, and everything you say is to the point, which really shocks someone. ”

Feng Dao said with a smile: "Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, and we are naturally beyond our reach." ”

Zhu Changzhi sighed: "It's only been an hour in Chongwen Palace, but it's more tiring than a day's journey, and Your Majesty's majesty is really impossible to look at." ”

Feng Dao put away his smile when he heard this, revealing a look of empathy, "I have known Your Majesty for a long time, and I have been conspiring with state affairs for many years. ”

Zhu Changzhi was speechless.

At this time, Li Congjing was looking through a book entitled "The Language of Disposition", which was a book that he secretly ordered the Military Intelligence Department to collect the customs and interests of the provinces and even the prefectures, and then asked the officials of the secretary province to comment on it.

Of course, it takes a lot of time and energy for him to read and ponder this book every day.

Putting down "Disposition Language", Li Congjing picked up another book and opened it, but it was titled "Chu Cai Lu". There are many names written on it, and there are few cross-cross comments after the names, and Zhu Changzhi mentioned that his son was in the first grade in the martial arts academy, which made him pay attention, but he didn't immediately add the other party's name.

The gaze stayed on a person's name, Li Gu.

This is a well-known figure among this year's graduates of the Academy.

From time to time, Li Gu was taken to the Chongwen Hall and stood in front of Li Congjing.

Two moments later, Li Gu was taken out of the Chongwen Palace, and Li Congjing had already ticked the name of Li Gu in "Chu Cai Lu".

Subsequently, he summoned two more Junyan who also left their names in "Chu Cai Lu".

Unfortunately, Li Congjing crossed out their names after meeting these two people.
