In order not to affect the normal affairs of the court, the general early court only lasts about an hour, and the officials will return to the court room after dawn.

Li Qing'an and the other generals had to go to the military department to go through the formalities for their posts, and as soon as he walked out of the main hall, he was stopped by Li Linfu, "Qilang, wait a minute!" ”

Li Qingan hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "My subordinates see Xiangguo!" ”

After returning from Longyou, Li Qingan has not seen Li Linfu, and it is not that he has no time, but he does not want to see this Tang Prime Minister with a sweet belly.

After going around in such a big circle, Li Linfu has only one purpose, to let himself join the tide file, provoke the fight between the prince and the Yang family, he came to reap the profits, to put it bluntly, is to snipe Yang Zhao's threat to his phase.

Although he didn't want to be Li Linfu's pawn, but after the early dynasty was rewarded, he found that he still couldn't get rid of Li Linfu's involvement, he was named the governor of Tingzhou and the deputy envoy of the Beiting Festival, and the Beiting Festival envoy was still Li Linfu's concurrent, he simply doubted that he was appointed to the Beiting, or Li Linfu's recommendation, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence.

Li Linfu stepped forward with a smile and said, "I didn't expect that we would become colleagues again, do you have time?" Let's talk about the affairs of the North Court. ”

Li Qingan couldn't refuse, so he had to agree: "The prime minister has an order, and his subordinates should obey it." ”

"Okay, follow me to Zhongshu Province, I'll send someone else to handle the affairs of your military department for you."

Zhongshu Province was next to Hanyuan Palace, and the two of them walked slowly all the way, "Qilang, I didn't expect that I would be sealed to the North Garden!" ”

"My subordinates really didn't expect that my subordinates had been in the Anxi Army for three years, and they were really reluctant to leave Anxi."

"It's human nature to miss the old! However, there is not much room for you to play in Anxi, at most it is the position of the heir, and Beiting is different, you are almost on a par with Gao Xianzhi, in charge of the military and political affairs of the first government, Qilang, you are not yet thirty years old, and you have obtained such a high position, which is only the qualification of the Tang Dynasty! ”

Li Linfu has a gentle mouth and a kind smile, as if an elder is earnestly teaching his juniors, which is also his consistent style, and he is amiable to middle and lower-level officials.

But for Li Qing'an, it was a different feeling, he felt that Li Linfu had changed his strategy, no longer regarded him as the Xiangguo Party, but talked to him with a slightly equal attitude, to be honest, he preferred this way, as long as the two sides are beneficial, cooperation is not impossible.

After walking for a while, the two came to the front of the Zhongshu Provincial Palace, where more than a dozen local officials were already waiting, ready to report to Li Linfu on local government affairs.

Li Linfu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone, wait a while, please go inside to drink tea and rest." ”

"Thank you Xiangguo, it's okay for us to wait."

The officials thanked each other and followed a Zhongshu Provincial official into the gate, at this time, Li Qingan suddenly saw a familiar face among the officials, it turned out to be Dugu Hao, Dugu Mingzhu's father, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "When did Uncle Dugu enter Beijing?" ”

"I came back on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month last year, and I will go back after the fifteenth, Qing'an, congratulations."

Dugu Hao smiled and introduced the two colleagues next to Li Qingan and said: "Let me introduce you, this is Wei Lian, the Taishou of Yizhou, and this is Cui Pingdu, the Taishou of Suzhou." ”

Both of them are high-ranking eunuchs from a family, Wei Lian has a square face and a tall and fat body, Cui Pingdu is polite and fair-skinned, and the two of them stepped forward and bowed and said: "We have heard of General Li's prestige for a long time, and we are fortunate to meet it!" Fortunately! ”

"Qing'an's work is not enough, which makes the two envoys laugh."

Everyone said a few words of greeting, and they all went in, and Dugu Hao whispered to Li Qing'an again: "Come to the house for a meal these days!" The old man talked about you last night. ”

"Good! I'll be there. ”

Dugu Hao smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and also went in, Li Linfu next to him kept laughing and silent, and when everyone left, he smiled and said: "Qilang's popularity is good!" ”

"Dugu Envoy Jun is what I met in Yangzhou, and Xiangguo knows."

"Haha! Not bad! I'm very clear, let's go, let's go in and talk. ”

The two walked into the gate of Zhongshu Province and came to Li Linfu's courtroom, where there was a person standing at the door, about thirty years old, with a short beard and bright eyes.

When this person saw Li Linfu coming, he immediately bowed down and saluted: "You Nei led the soldiers of the government Cao to join the army Cen Shen came to see Xiangguo." ”

'Cen Shen? Li Qingan was stunned for a moment, is this the famous Biansai poet Cen Shen?

Li Linfu nodded, and said with a smile to Li Qing'an: "Cen joins the army's poems are extremely well written, and the imperial court has officially appointed him as the judge of the Beiting Jiedu Mansion, and he is about to go out of the fortress to take up his post, today I will let you know you first." ”

He said to Cen Shen again: "This is Li Qing'an, who will be in charge of Beiting affairs in the future." ”

Cen Shen glanced at the prestigious Li Qing'an, and when he saw that he was a talent, he couldn't help but feel good, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Humble Cen Shen, see Li Yuanjun." ”

"Brother Cen doesn't have to be polite, please take care of me in the future."

After a few words of greeting, Li Linfu said to Cen Shen: "General Li still has some formalities to complete in the military department, and now he doesn't have time, so you can go and complete the formalities on his behalf!" ”

"Obey the command, and go now."

Cen Shen glanced at Li Qingan again, the two looked at each other, Li Qingan smiled slightly, nodded, Cen Shen bowed his hand to him, and walked quickly.

"Shichiro, let's go into the house and talk!"

Li Qing'an followed Li Linfu into the court room, the room was cleaned up very concisely and elegantly, but the most impressive thing was that there were thick three stacks of folds on the bookcase, each stack of folds was three feet high, and there were more than 200 folds stacked next to the table, these were all documents from all over the country, after the first trial of the six departments, they were finally concentrated in Li Linfu's place, and the Tang Dynasty divided power, except for more important things and some important personnel changes to report to Li Longji, the rest of the trivial affairs ended when Li Linfu came here, Therefore, Li Linfu has to deal with a lot of official business every day and is very busy.

"Shichiro, sit down!"

Li Linfu asked Li Qing'an to sit down, and ordered the scholar to pour him hot tea, Li Linfu also sat down and said with a wry smile: "I will have a three-day holiday starting tomorrow, but I have a lot of things to solve here, and I can't rest!" ”

Li Qingan took a sip of tea and asked with a smile: "Why didn't Xiangguo take the song back to the house to deal with it?" ”

Li Linfu's face sank and said, "Absolutely not!" How can you bring official business back to your home, doesn't that become a private part of official business? ”

Perhaps feeling that his tone was hardened, he softened his tone and said: "Qilang, you haven't realized that as a high-ranking person, you need to be more cautious and cautious than ordinary officials, especially my Xiangguo, if you don't do things according to the rules and regulations, then everyone can follow suit and take things home, and then the relevant stakeholders come to the door at night, won't the court of the Tang Dynasty become a miasma?" ”

Li Qingan hurriedly got up and said: "Xiangguo's teachings, keep the humble duty in mind. ”

"Sit down!"

Li Linfu waved his hand and said: "You have to remember, because from now on, you are not only a general, but also a parent official of the political side, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the three states of Beiting will depend on you to live, although I am the envoy of Beiting, but in fact, I don't ask about Beiting affairs, all military and political affairs are handled by you, Qilang, you have a great responsibility!" ”

Li Qing'an nodded silently, he served as Beiting, not only in charge of the 20,000 troops of Beiting, but also the governor of Beiting Jiedu, that is, the local government affairs are also under his management, most of the Beiting capital protection is led by Li Wanyao, the king of Rong, and Li Linfu is the envoy of Jiedu, these two are nominal positions, and the military and political power of Beiting is actually controlled by him.

"Please rest assured, I will do my best."

"It's not enough to just do your best, you first have to know why the imperial court sent you to the North Court."

Li Linfu stood up, walked to the wall and brushed the ground and opened the curtain, on the wall was a map of Anxi Xiting, he picked up a wooden stick, pointed to the surroundings of the north courtyard and said: "The north court was originally subordinate to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, Ruizong Jingyun was promoted to the Dadu Protectorate in the second year, and Anxi divided the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, the North Courtyard was originally set up to defend the Turks and Jiankun II, and now the Turks are declining, and Jiankun is conquered by the Hui, so the main defense objects of the North Court have become the Qarlu and Hui people west of Jinshan, and maintain the actual control of the Tang Dynasty over the North Court, In addition, there are far more Han people in Beiting than in Anxi, and there are many merchants who travel between Anxi and the Central Plains, and it is also your responsibility to protect the safety of the Han people in Beiting and the smooth flow of silk. ”

"Xiangguo's words, my subordinates have remembered them."

"What I just said is actually just a general responsibility, and now I want to talk to you about the imperial court's strategic plan for the Lingxi region and how to resist the eastward expansion of the Great Eclipse."

．．．．．．．．

Li Linfu talked with Li Qing'an for an hour, and because Li Linfu still had to meet with local officials, Li Qing'an took his leave, and Li Linfu had already arranged for someone to handle the formalities for him, and Li Qing'an rode back to his residence on horseback when he had nothing to do in the court.

Today's Li Linfu and his conversation did not involve the prince and Yang Zhao at all, they were all talking about the North Court, and Li Linfu's words today made Li Qingan change a biased view of Li Linfu, most of the comments on Li Linfu in history are that he is proficient in power and skill, and he gives people the feeling that Li Linfu spends all day in the whole day and fighting for power, in fact, Li Linfu's diligence in political affairs is no less than that of any famous minister, and he is also thinking about the control of the Western Regions by the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Li Qingan's mind was still echoing with Li Linfu's strategic deployment of Beiting.

'In order to resist the eastward expansion of the Great Eclipse, the imperial court decided to restore the Broken Leaf Military Town when the conditions were ripe, and in the long run, the imperial court intends to merge the North Court and Anxi into one, and establish the new Anxi Jiedu, Shichiro, work hard, you are very hopeful to become the first envoy of the new Anxi Jiedu. ’

．．．．．．．．

'The Turgish people have been decayed and the internal strife is not stopped, so the imperial court intends to temporarily support the Qarlu people to replace the Turgish people before the restoration of the Broken Leaf Military Town, in order to resist the eastward expansion of the Great Eclipse, but in view of the lessons of the Turgish people, the Qarlu people cannot be blindly indulged, and they must be treated with grace and power, so that they can serve the Tang Dynasty with all their hearts. ’

'Yang Zhao is the envoy of the Jiannan Jiedu, in charge of the affairs of the Southern Zhao, but I am not optimistic about him, Qilang, I hope that your Beiting can do something in controlling the rest of the Qarlu and the Turgish, and it is wise to let the Holy Lord understand that it is wise to choose you in the end. ’

Li Qing'an exhaled a white breath at the gray sky, and at this moment he couldn't wait to spread his wings and fly to the north court to display his ambitions.

．．．．．．．．

In the distance, he had already seen the mansion of Gao Lishi, and at this moment, several horseback riders galloped in front of him, the leader was a eunuch, and he shouted from afar: "General Li, Niangniang has a decree and orders you to go to Xingqing Palace immediately to meet you." ”

．．．．．．．。
