Late at night, in the study of the Li Mansion, the candlelight flickered.

Not far from the study, several little maids looked at each other, not knowing whether to go over and disturb, because the bath soup that had just been set up was already cold this time, and they didn't know whether to remake a hot one or what.

Besides, the night was dark, and they were sleepy, but the master had not yet washed, so how could they go to sleep?

Therefore, everyone had to yawn while looking at the bright candle flame in the study over there, and then, everyone heard a loud recitation, the tone was frustrated, the words were not very understood, but when they heard it, they were quite imposing.

“…… Therefore, the border general is the integration of the military and the government, the government to raise the army, the army to protect the government, so that the power of my Tang Dynasty is outside the territory, and the generation of Zhenyi Di is in Sihe, and the people are taking it as the cause of eternity. As everyone knows, this combination of military and political unity is the beginning of chaos. Why? Confucius said: I am afraid that Ji's worries are not in the moment, but within the Xiao wall! ……”

“…… Such a place weight, and the central military is empty, with the teachings of my Tang Dynasty, all the people hope that the Holy Lord is like a parent, and the system is awe-inspiring, although it is not easy to change, but the wolf son of the ambition is endless, it is the right to be tempting. And when Wang Mang was not usurped, he also regarded him as a humble minister, and it was difficult to distinguish his loyalty. However, if one person is allowed to take over the government, take charge of the military and the government, and the Bujiu war training dies in Hanoi, the system cannot be governed, the etiquette cannot be changed, the military prestige cannot be deterred, and the king's orders cannot be heard......

“…… Minister Li Xi bowed his head and respectfully asked His Majesty to accept the government of the border towns and change it to the imperial court. In addition, the generals of the border towns, please have no permanent appointment, no remote leadership, but dispatch, check and balance, so that there will be no private orders, orders are from above, in this way, there will be no private soldiers, the state has loyal ministers. ……”

Li Xi held the manuscript in his hand, reading it with relish and being complacent, while Wu Lan, who was rubbing his wrists on the side, looked at him with such a proud look, but he frowned unconsciously.

This manuscript is what Li Xi thought, of course, Li Xi's writing style is really not very good, although he said what he meant in some places, but his words were a little vulgar, so there are many places in this article that Wu Lan polished and modified for him, so after Li Xi read it himself, although it was a stinky fart, he also knew that this was not his level, so he also looked at Wu Lan with a smile from time to time, and then praised her a few words.

According to Li Xi's meaning, this piece of text naturally wants to put the main force on exaggerating the harm of the feudal town, and although Li Xi doesn't know much about history, after all, he still studied literature and history courses in high school, and he still has some understanding of some of the more famous major events in Chinese history - there is no way if you don't understand it, you have to take the exam at that time, and you have to memorize the past to get a high score in order to be admitted to university.

Therefore, according to some memories, coupled with his own analysis, in his opinion, the biggest harm of the feudal town is the decentralization of political power, which leads to the self-sufficiency of the border town, so that a survival system of reading power has been formed, it can be said that at this time, in fact, the feudal town has all the basis for announcing the rebellion of the reading power at any time, and what is missing is just one or a few special people who have ambitions and dare to rebel.

Moreover, Marx taught the old man that history is created by the people, and as long as there are sufficient social conditions, then there will always be some special historical figures to promote the further development of history. Coincidentally, there is an old saying in ancient China, which is called the times create heroes, so there is no shortage of this special person. Even Li Xi knew that in a few years, a big fat man named An Lushan would begin to appear on the stage of history.

Therefore, in Li Xi's view, if we want to solve the problem of the feudal towns, or at least to curb the tendency of the feudal towns to read more and more, then the first step is to take back the right to collect taxes from the local towns, and the taxes are still collected by the central government, and the supply of the generals in the towns is also re-taken care of by the central government, so that the towns can only be an armed force of the state, and will not become a small force that can be separated and self-reliant at any time.

But obviously, Wu Lan didn't quite understand his idea, or rather, a person like Wu Lan, who lived in the present and was witnessing the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty step by step, and the local towns were also spreading good news, couldn't understand Li Xi's point of view brought from later generations and analyzed by countless people.

As the saying goes, "Don't be afraid of clouds and clouds, just because you are in this mountain", some things, it does not mean that because you are telling insight, people will immediately accept them.

At present, everyone is seeing and has seen the benefits of the imperial court setting up feudal towns in various places, but they have not thought of the harm that this feudal town may bring.

Of course, there are always sober people in any era, and there is no shortage of Datang, not to mention anything else, that is, Li Xi's father Li Fu, who was also sensitive to some of the dangers that the town might bring in the future more than ten years ago, but unfortunately, his thoughts only had time to say to the people closest to him, and he was not able to form a clearer idea, and the person had already gone.

Not only him, in the current Tang Dynasty, although Li Xi doesn't know, he can imagine that although there may not be many people who can see the potential crisis in the town, there must be. It's just that unless someone like Li Xi knows the result for a long time, even the most sober people, although they can see that there is a potential danger in the big thing of the feudal town, even they may not believe that things can be so bad that the feudal town can stand on its own.

There is no way, this is the limited surname of "only because you are in this mountain".

And obviously, as a boudoir woman, although Wu Lan has read a lot, even if she has some understanding of such military affairs, she is only limited to the superficial news that everyone knows, so she doesn't even have that sober thinking, how can she understand Li Xi's "alarmism".

But fortunately, if she doesn't understand, she still followed Li Xi's meaning and successfully completed the discussion on the part of the domain, at least this writing and thinking have made Li Xi very satisfied. As for Wu Lan's confusion and incomprehension, Li Xi didn't bother to explain it at the moment, so it was better to leave it for another day, and it would be better for everyone to lie on the bed and kiss me and explain it later.

After writing this paragraph, there is also the issue of land annexation......

At this time, Li Xi turned his head, just saw a few lanterns outside the study, and then subconsciously looked up at the moonlight, only to find that it was very late, and immediately waved his hand at Wu Lan, "Lan'er, you go to sleep, don't wait for me, then I will write a draft by myself, write about this land annexation issue, this is more difficult to explain than the town, you go to sleep first, after getting up tomorrow morning, you will draw up according to my draft......"

Wu Lan was stunned when she heard this, and then she also saw a few lanterns outside, and then she realized that she had come over unknowingly, but it had been a long time since she came over, and the bath soup must have been cold for a long time, but at the moment she just smiled when she heard the words, got up and came outside to say a few words to the maids, and then walked back to sit in front of the bookcase, and said: "The slave can't help the minister for anything, just help you write a few words, don't you only allow the princess to be angry at the crown, and don't allow the concubine to sleep for you for a while?" ”

Li Xi smiled when he heard this, so he gave up, and paced in the room for a while, and then spoke: "Then you write: land, since it is the stability of the people, the source of peace in the country, the country can not be said to be landless, the people can not be said to be landless, uh, that's what I mean, how to write it, you think about it......"

******************************************************************************************

The next day, when Li Xi woke up, he was already on the third pole.

After crossing into this era, he basically didn't stay up late, if nothing else, there was no TV or computer in this era, and there was not even a mobile phone or a game console or anything, so there was really no necessary reason to stay up late.

Only last night, he and Wu Lan stayed up very excitedly until the full three watches.

After the manuscript was written and copied out, Li Xi suddenly had an indescribable feeling of relief in his heart, with this recital, although the prospect is still unpredictable, but at least Li Xi knows that he has a chance in his hand to fight back, and it is very likely that he will have the opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop, to the worst place, as long as this recital is handed over, whether it is scolded for being alarmist or discordant with the monarch and minister, at least he can make himself familiar with the name in front of the old man Xuanzong, right?

Anyway, as long as it is not killed in seconds without being noticed, it is already a victory.

The incident that happened yesterday, although Li Xi was extremely calm and comfortable in front of anyone, and he was also extremely confident and confident, but to say that there was such a big movement all of a sudden, but his own heart could always be as calm as water, in fact, he was also afraid, even if there was a slight possibility, in fact, he was not willing to offend the prince of the current dynasty - even if the prince could be finished at any time.

But for the sake of Wu Lan, for the sake of his own woman, he must be offended!

Therefore, although his heart was very uncalm yesterday, he still forced himself to concentrate all his energy, pulled Wu Lan together, and concocted a recital that sprinkled thousands of words.

When this recital was written, he slept so soundly that night that he didn't even have a dream.

Hearing the movement in the room, knowing that it was Li Xi who woke up, Wu Lan hurriedly came in and waited for him to wash and dress, and then combed his hair patiently in the mirror, only occasionally when he glanced at the person in the bronze mirror, he found that the other party was actually confident, and now it was like a spring breeze.

After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "Xianggong, are you going to hand over that piece of music?" ”

"Well, hand it out, I'm not the kind of person who is used to sitting and waiting for someone to call."

After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Are you going to sign your name, or do you want Lord Zhou or Lord Liu to ......?"

When she asked this, Li Xi couldn't help frowning, and said, "Why do you ask this, I wrote it, of course I have to sign my own name!" Then he couldn't help but think to himself, if he signed someone else's name, how would Xuanzong and his old man know that there was a person named Li Xi in the world? What's the point of those who write this piece themselves!

Wu Lan hesitated for a moment, and then stopped.

Li Xi thought about it carefully, but he roughly guessed her thoughts.

When he first crossed over, he naturally didn't know the current rules, but if he wanted to be an official, he naturally had to be familiar with many laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, so he only needed to follow Wu Lan's train of thought and naturally understand what her words meant.

Tang Chengsui system, clearly stipulated that officials of the fourth rank and below were not listed in the court, and those below the sixth rank had no right to speak. Although later in the Wu Zetian Dynasty, there was a long period of time when the method of rumors was adopted, and whoever wanted to talk to the emperor about anything and make a small report could write casually, but since the current emperor ascended the throne, the old system was quickly restored.

Under this system, it is said that Li Xi is just a small Jiupin master book, which is an ordinary county order of Zhongxian, the official master of the seventh grade, and the county Cheng like Jin Yuan, from the eighth grade, etc., if you want to give the imperial court to the emperor what chapter to deliberate, it has to be through the history of the assassination to observe the envoy, or the ambassador of the festival, etc., layer by layer, and then you can be handed to Chang'an, when you arrive in Chang'an, you can't see the emperor, you have to go to the political hall first, and then, if you really have something to say, This can be qualified to be presented to the emperor and let the emperor take a look.

Under this system, it can be said that most of the local petty officials' twists and turns may not even be able to enter the political affairs hall, and they have been directly rejected by the original folds, and there is no chance for the emperor to see it in person.

In contrast, once the grade reaches the sixth grade and above, then their recitals can go directly to the political hall without review, so the chance of being seen by the emperor himself is naturally much greater.

If it was just an ordinary recital, of course Li Xi could go to the teacher Zhou Qiong or Old Man Liu Boliu to grind it and ask them to sign it and hand it over, but at the moment, this recital is obviously not suitable for this.

First, the prospect is unpredictable, and there is even a high probability that it will anger the current emperor all of a sudden, and secondly, the reason why Li Xi wrote this recital is to let Emperor Xuanzong know his name.

And Wu Lan has obviously thought of this, so she is full of sadness.

She didn't know that from the time Li Xi began to plan the draft of this concerto, he had already decided that he would not take the normal way and hand it over, so Wu Lan's worries were naturally unnecessary.

At that moment, he raised his hand and patted Wu Lan's little hand, and said, "Don't worry, I have a way, so I won't let Lord Zhou and Old Man Liu take the risk for me!" ”

Wu Lan was stunned when she heard this, she was puzzled at first, and then she seemed to think of something, she nodded slightly, "That's it...... It's good. ”

******************************************************************************************

The carriage stopped, Li Xi lifted the curtain and got out of the car, but at a glance he saw a pretty little nun about fifteen or sixteen years old at the gate of Yuezhao Temple looking around with an anxious face.

"Mizuha!" waited until she walked to her side, Li Xi suddenly called her, seeing that she was startled, she couldn't help but laugh happily, and asked her: "This time, it won't be your grandfather who guessed that I was coming again, so he asked you to come and wait for me, right?" ”

"Ah, Uncle Shi!"

When he saw that it was Li Xi, Shui Ye suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't avoid suspicion at the moment, he grabbed Li Xi's hand, and suddenly his eyes were foggy, and in the blink of an eye, tears slipped down one by one.

Li Xi was suddenly startled at this moment, he quickly lowered his head and coaxed, and asked, "What's the matter?" Who bullied you? Say it, Uncle Shi will call the shots for you! ”

"Grandpa...... Grandpa, he doesn't want water leaves! ”

Finally saw a person she knew and could trust, the little nun cried so much that she was a little out of breath, and after a while, her cheeks were like peach blossoms, which made Li Xi feel distressed.

At that moment, he hurriedly raised his hand to wipe Shui Ye's tears, coaxed gently, and asked, "What's the matter, why does your grandfather suddenly not want you?" ”

Shui Ye sobbed, as if he was aggrieved, and said intermittently: "When I got up this morning, my grandfather asked me to pack my luggage, and then said, saying that this is the case, he is going back to Chang'an, and asked Shui Ye to continue to stay here and wait for the fate." Shui Ye didn't want to, so he cried, but Grandpa ignored Shui Ye...... Shui Ye wanted to go to Mrs. Zhou and Uncle He, but Shui Ye didn't know how to go......"

She said and cried one by one, and Li Xi frowned when she heard it, and it was easy to understand what she meant, but her doubts rose again in her heart, thinking: It won't be so coincidental, right? I just wrote the recital last night and wanted to come over to him for help, and he got up early in the morning to pack his bags and leave?

At that moment, he gently patted Shui Ye's back a few times, helping her smooth out the breath, and then took her hand and said, "Let's go, Uncle Shi will take you to your grandfather, it's unreasonable, we Shui Ye is so obedient and well-behaved, why don't you say you don't want us!" We'll have to get an explanation! ”

Saying that, Li Xi took her hand and walked to the Yuezhao Temple, and the two of them came to the backyard where they saw the old monk last time.

The old monk Mo Yan was meditating on the couch, and when he heard the movement, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Li Xi smiled and clasped his hands together to greet him: "Li Xi has seen Master Mo Yan. ”

Old Monk Mo Yan smiled, raised his hand and said, "Master Li doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat." ”

Li Xi smiled, and knelt on the futon in front of the couch, then Mo Yan also got up and got off the couch, came to the front and knelt opposite him, and didn't serve tea at the moment, just asked with a smile: "Shui Ye sued you, right?" Lao Gao's fate is in Chang'an, so she wants to go back, but her fate is still here, so naturally she can't go with Lao Ge. It's just that after the old man left, Shui Ye stayed here and no one took care of him, so he was not at ease after all, so the old man took the liberty and wanted to ask Lord Li to take care of it on his behalf, I don't know what the adults wanted? ”

"Uh......"

Li Xi was a little stunned when he heard this, and before he could think of how to answer, the old monk Mo Yan had already glanced at Li Xi with a smile again, with an omniscient look, and asked, "Lao Wei is going to Chang'an, is there anything that my lord needs to help bring with him?" If so, please say that it will live up to the trust of adults. ”

Li Xi looked at him fixedly when he heard this, and subconsciously asked, "You, can't you really be an old immortal, right?" ”

Mo Yan smiled and didn't say anything, just looked at him.

Li Xi stared at him for a while, he really couldn't guess how this old monk calculated the time so accurately, if it was said that what happened last time, it was possible that the old guy was right, but this time, before he came, only he knew it, and besides, even if he wrote the chapter, only he and Wu Lan knew, but this old monk seemed to be able to pinch and calculate, not only knew that he had written the chapter, but also calculated that he would come to him to help hand it over......

This one is a bit of a god!

According to what Shui Ye said, he had already packed his luggage when he got up this morning, and just now he solemnly entrusted the little nun of Shui Ye to himself, and looked at himself with that kind of look, asking himself if he had something to ask him to bring to Chang'an, everything shows that this old monk is simply omniscient......

After only a slight hesitation, Li Xi simply took out the piece in his arms and handed it over, wanting to explain a few words, but the old monk directly took it and didn't look at it, so he said: "This matter is wrapped up in the old man, whether it disappoints the adults or not." ”

"Uh......"

Li Xi was once again choked by his omniscience.

I was stunned for a long time, and I actually felt that I had nothing to say.

What you want to say, people have already guessed it, so it's a fart!

Although the old monk agreed to help so easily, and he looked like he was nine out of ten, Li Xi couldn't help but feel a little surprised, before he came, he didn't expect the old monk to agree to help so happily, and thought it would take a lot of money, who knew that people were not only willing to help, but also very active, and even Li Xi thought, will this old monk suddenly want to go back to Chang'an because he wants to hand himself a fold? After all, he had been staying well before, but he suddenly had to leave when he got up this morning.

After thinking about it, he still didn't know what to say, so Li Xi simply got up and said goodbye.

Old monk Mo Yan stood up with a smile, his eyes seemed to be able to see through the window paper where Shui Ye was outside, and then, he said meaningfully: "Shui Ye is destined not to be a person in my release door, everything will be entrusted to the adult!" ”

Li Xi was stunned when he heard this.
