Only then did Li Longji remember that there were more than 100 Jincheng fathers and elders on this river beach. Happy? Wen? xs520. com
Li Longji nodded and said, "Please go to Jincheng Father!" ”
After a while, Zhang Xing came to Li Longji with the elders of Jincheng, these fathers and elders thought that meeting the emperor was a great thing for the glory of the ancestors, where did they think that they first saw a bloody killing, and then they were abducted to this river beach, and then later, they saw that the emperor had kidnapped the prince, and they were all so frightened that they almost collapsed. Now, seeing that the emperor and the crown prince have reconciled, they are all inexplicable, but they are afraid in their hearts, God knows what will happen, and they are all trembling and at a loss.
Li Longji asked slowly: "I am going to Sichuan, what do you think?" ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, after a long time, an old squire said: "The emperor doesn't want us people anymore?" ”
Li Longji said: "I am temporarily avoiding the rebels, and I will come back soon!" ”
The squire burst into tears: "The emperor went to Sichuan, and the people will have nothing to rely on, if the rebels come, I will only wait for death!" If the emperor has mercy on the people, can he leave the prince and lead the army and the people to resist the rebels, in this way, we and the people still have some hope! ”
When the squire had finished speaking, all the fathers and elders responded one after another.
Bu Yunfei sighed secretly in his heart, Li Longji abandoned Chang'an and left, which was to throw the people's hearts to the prince!
Li Longji was relieved, nodded and said: "What Bu Yunfei said is reasonable, and the sky listens to the people!" Since it was invited by the people, I had to do it! Just leave the prince to take care of the aftermath. ”
In this way, leaving the crown prince was the result of the people's plea, rather than him leaving the prince and fleeing for his life alone, Li Longji can be regarded as a step down.
The fathers and elders didn't know about the festival between Li Longji and the prince, but they only regarded it as the emperor who cherished the people and left the prince to resist the rebels.
Li Longji said: "Gao Lishi, all the fathers and villagers came to Ma Weipo to greet them, but they were frightened, but you can reward them with some gold and silver, and I will talk and express my gratitude!" ”
Colliers was stammering. Today's emperor is already empty-handed, everything has been lost, and there is still any gold and silver.
Bu Yunfei saw Gao Lishi's embarrassment, and said: "Your Majesty, Du Qianyun, the captain of the Shence Military Academy, and Xue Jingxian, the commander of Chencang County, worked tirelessly to transport a batch of silver taels from Chencang, which was originally intended to be transported to Tongguan to fund military salaries. Last night, Prince Kezhi led the cavalry to garrison Wulingyuan, and the minister was worried that he had bad intentions, so he took it upon himself to give Kezhi 5,000 taels of gold and 50,000 taels of silver. Now, there are 10,000 taels of gold and 200,000 taels of silver left, and the emperor can take part of them to reward the elders of Jincheng, and the rest will be dealt with by the emperor. ”
Zhang Tongyou heard it in his ears, and then he suddenly realized that Ke Zhi betrayed the alliance and led the army away, but it turned out that he was bought by Bu Yunfei! sneered in his heart, the Hui people have always been greedy, Bu Yunfei claimed to give Ke Zhi 5,000 taels of gold and 50,000 taels of silver, which was obviously discounted! It was further inferred that the gold and silver that Bu Yunfei had in hand now were by no means more than 10,000 taels of gold and 200,000 taels of silver as he claimed. It's just that Zhang Tongyou understands in his heart, but he doesn't dare to say it, he finally picked up a life, and there is no need to make extraneous branches.
The gold and silver that Du Qianyun hid in Chencang were 200,000 taels of gold and 10 million taels of silver. What was given to Kochi was a fraction. Bu Yunfei deliberately concealed that what he gave to Li Longji was less than that given to Ke Zhi, and it was only a fraction of what he gave to Ke Zhi.
That Li Longji has now become a flower child, and giving him this money is enough for him to remember. This is like a person who has been hungry for three days, can only drink gruel, not fat, otherwise, he will be strangled! What's more, Li Longji has always been suspicious, and if he gives too much money, he will be suspicious of Bu Yunfei.
Sure enough, when Li Longji heard that he was rich, he was not too little at all, but he was very excited: "The silver taels sent by General Bu can be described as a charcoal in the snow!" Colliers, you can take the silver two! If I can restore the Tang Dynasty, General Bu is the first merit! ”
Bu Yunfei said: "The first meritorious person is Du Qianyun, the lieutenant general of the Shence Army, and Xue Jingxian, the commander of Chencang County!" These two took precautions and saved these silver taels in the Chen warehouse as early as possible, and now that the emperor is covered with dust, it comes in handy! ”
The gold and silver were hidden by Du Qianyun in Chencang, and although Xue Jingxian had been kept in the dark, he also had the ability to escort them. What is particularly important is that Du Qianyun lost the Tianwei Army and became a fugitive, and Bu Yunfei wanted to take the opportunity to clear his name, lest he be burdened with the reputation of a fugitive and follow Bu Yunfei, which would be inconvenient. Xue Jingxian is a loyal and righteous person, and he is very talented, and Bu Yunfei also wants to take the opportunity to seek a future for him.
Li Longji nodded: "Du Qianyun lost the Tianwei Army in Ba, and now he will be punished, and he can be restored to the position of Zhonglang General!" Xue Jingxian has a meritorious escort, General Bu thinks, how should I reward him? ”
Bu Yunfei said: "Fufeng is an important town in Guanzhong, connecting the Western Regions in the west, controlling Chang'an in the east, Jiannan in the south, and Shuofang in the north. Now that my Datang has lost Chang'an, if I can stick to Fufeng, I will plant a sharp blade in Guanzhong, and the emperor can use Fufeng as a base to restore Chang'an at any time in the future. Now, Fufeng is a county, in the opinion of the minister, Fufeng should be promoted to a county, Xue Jingxian is resourceful and loyal, and can be promoted to Fufeng Taishou, and ordered him to guard Fufeng! First, it reflects the emperor's grace, and second, it can also help Xue Jingxian's talent to help the emperor block the rebels. ”
"Quasi-play!"
The strategic position of Fufeng is not only the throat of Sichuan, but also the throat of Jiangnan wealth to the northwest in the future. According to Tang history, it was Xue Jingxian's insistence on supporting the wind that kept this lifeline, so that the Tang Dynasty could finally support it in this war. It's just that what is ironic is that Xue Jingxian held this position and was sponsored by Bu Yunfei.
Du Qianyun and Xue Jingxian stepped forward and knelt down to thank him. Then, together they went to the reeds, and brought out five carts of gold and silver, a total of 10,000 taels of gold and 200,000 taels of silver, and handed them over to Colliers. That Xue Jingxian knew that the gold and silver that Bu Yunfei hid in the forage cart were far more than that, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb. First, he mistakenly blamed Bu Yunfei for feeling guilty just now, and second, these gold and silver were originally Bu Yunfei's, Bu Yunfei did not take credit, and counted the credit on his head, and by the way, he was promoted to an official, Xue Jingxian was grateful.
However, the current Fufeng is only a small remote county, with a sparse population and a lack of products, and it is almost difficult for the Tang army to gain a foothold in the face of the powerful Yan army. That Xue Jingxian tried his courage in lying on his salary, summoned the displaced people, appeased the people, recruited troops and horses, and worked hard for several years before he gained a firm foothold in Fufeng. Later, Xue Jingxian sat in Fufeng and built Fufeng into the most powerful military town near Chang'an, echoing Buyunfei from afar, and affecting the political situation of the Tang Dynasty, which is a later story.
Gao Lishi took out some silver and rewarded each Jincheng father with 50 taels of silver, and the Jincheng father cheered, kowtowed to the emperor and thanked him, left the river beach, and went home.
Li Mi said to Li Longji: "The emperor has experienced the difficulties of Ma Weipo, although it is the emperor's great fortune, and the ministers have made meritorious contributions!" The emperor just rewarded Xue Jingxian, Du Qianyun, Baye Gu and other meritorious ministers, why not reward everyone with him, Fang Xian's grace is mighty. Moreover, the emperor just promised to reward An Qingzong, and it is time to cash it out! ”
Li Mi's words seem ordinary, but they are extremely critical, he wants Li Longji to quickly win people's hearts!
At this time, rewarding everyone is to leave the emperor's grace. Whether it is the people under the crown prince or Bu Yunfei, they are all promoted by the emperor, and they must be grateful to the emperor, even if they have different intentions, they must put a question mark in their hearts. If the reward is not awarded at this time, once Li Longji goes to Sichuan, he will be beyond the reach of the Central Plains, and it will be even more difficult to control those who stay in the northwest.
Moreover, more importantly, Li Longji is here to reward everyone, but also to prevent the prince. If the crown prince dies at the hands of the Yan army, it will be fine, in case the prince gains a firm foothold in the northwest and becomes a climate, his subordinates have all received the grace of Li Longji's reward, and it is inconvenient for him to openly turn against the emperor who is far away in Sichuan.
Li Mi is indeed a genius in the world, and this seemingly casual suggestion just grasps the key point of the problem.
Li Longji also understood, and said: "An Qingzong listens to the seal! ”
The first An Qingzong, which is the most important for Datang Sheji, is to set up a strong enemy for An Qingxu! It also set an example for the soldiers of the Yan Army to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!
An Qingzong hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"You were originally an official servant, An Lushan rebelled, you have joint crimes, a few days ago, I wanted to kill you, do you have any complaints?" Li Longji said slowly.
An Qingzong trembled: "The minister's father conspired against him, it is a heinous crime, the emperor gave the minister a death, it is the law of the country, how dare the minister complain!" Now the minister is lucky to survive, and he can be blessed with the grace of the saint not to kill, which is already the emperor's grace, and the minister does not dare to think about it, but is willing to be a slave for life to repay the emperor's great kindness! ”
Li Longji nodded: "Since you can be convicted, you can change your past mistakes, the position of the imperial servant, there is already another person, I will give you the title of squire in the Ministry of Rites, and serve in the army, are you willing?" ”
An Qingzong wept bitterly: "Thank you to the emperor for your grace!" The ministers are the emperor's liver and brain, and they don't hesitate! ”
In the Tang official system, the squire is sometimes a real position, but many times, it is only an official title, not a real position. In most cases, many civil and military generals were sent to various places to serve as magistrates or leading generals. Therefore, the real right to be embodied is that it is his last official position. For example, "the squire of the Ministry of Rites, the history of defense of a certain state", the squire of the Ministry of Rites is the title, and the history of defense is the actual job. Li Longji only gave An Qingzong the title of squire of the Ministry of Rites, but did not confer a substantive position, only said "pre-military service", in fact, he only gave him an empty name, and did not even say what specific army he was sent to. Moreover, the grade of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is from the fourth grade, which is two levels lower than the third grade of the servant. An Qingzong was actually demoted.
But this was enough to make An Qingzong cry bitterly!
"An Qingzong, I want you to go to Sichuan with me." Li Longji said.
An Qingzong's heart chuckled, and he secretly screamed that it was not good!
