Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Under the compulsory order of the chief military doctor of the Anxi Army, Li Qingan was forced to rest at home for a month, but this month also gave him a taste of the warmth of family and the joy of a father.

As soon as the morning dawned, Li Qingan got up and quietly went to visit his two children, a five-month-old daughter and a three-month-old son, both of whom slept very sweetly.

Li Qing'an then came to the study, Rushi had already opened the window to pass through the wind, and a bouquet of plum blossoms blooming was placed in the vase on the table, which looked particularly fresh under the spring sun.

He sat down at the table and flipped through the Anthy miscellaneous newspapers that had been delivered in the middle of the night, which were his daily habit, and which were always printed in the middle of the night and delivered at once, so that he could see them every day.

The Anxi Miscellaneous Newspaper was opened under the instruction of Li Qing'an, modeled after the Kaiyuan Miscellaneous Newspaper of the imperial court, and was a government-run newspaper, mainly publishing some major military and political events, as well as a lot of news from the Central Plains, which were all information from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Although a lot of the news is not a major military event, Li Qingan still likes to watch these trivial news, as long as it happens in the Central Plains, he has a strong interest.

However, today made Li Qingan a little surprised, last night's miscellaneous newspaper was not delivered, and the miscellaneous newspaper placed on the table was still the day before yesterday, he flipped through the coffee table next to him, except for a few reports, there was no miscellaneous newspaper that should have been sent last night.

"Big brother, what are you looking for?"

Rushi walked in quickly with a bowl of bird's nest and asked, "Are you looking for miscellaneous newspapers?" ”

"Yes! How not? ”

Rushi put the bird's nest in front of Li Qing'an, shook her head with a smile and said, "I didn't send it last night." ”

"What's going on?" Li Qingan was a little confused, even if he wasn't in Broken Leaves, miscellaneous newspapers would be sent every day, and they had never been broken, how could there be no more today.

"I've asked Begonia to ask, there should be news soon."

After she finished speaking, a maid's voice sounded at the door, "Third lady!" ”

It was Rushi's maid Begonia who came back, Rushi hurriedly opened the door, only to see a maid standing at the door, holding a newspaper that had just been printed, Li Qingan recognized it at a glance, it should be last night's newspaper.

"Third lady, sir, the newspaper was just delivered, and the messenger said that all the newspapers printed last night were invalid, and this was only printed at the fourth watch today, so it was late."

"Did he say why he wanted to be invalidated?"

The maid shook her head, "I asked, he doesn't know." ”

Li Qingan took the newspaper, sure enough, it had just been printed, and there was a faint fragrance of ink, he thought about it, then wrote a note, asked Rushi to hand it to the maid, and said: "You give this to Captain Zhang, let him ask the reason." ”

The maid went, Rushi poured another cup of tea, and did not disturb him, so he left quietly, Li Qingan changed to a comfortable sitting position, while drinking tea, while reading today's newspaper, the warm sun shone on his back, making his left shoulder feel extraordinarily comfortable.

After reading the first page of Anxi government affairs, Li Qingan habitually turned to the third page, where there were some news from Chang'an and Datang.

The first piece of news attracted his attention, the prince Zuo Chunfang recorded Zhang Yi took advantage of the night to carry bags for Hu Shang in the West Market to make money, unseemly, was dismissed from his official position, there is another article below, an official's wife sold spring was recognized by her husband's colleagues, committed suicide in shame, and the name and position of the official are unknown.

Seeing these two pieces of news, Li Qing'an felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly, his brows were furrowed, he also heard that the court officials had not received the money for three years, but how could it be to this extent, to the point that his wife went to sell provenance, presumably this official did not know, but the constraints of family life forced the housewife to have no way out.

Li Qingan couldn't sit still, he walked out of the courtyard of the study, and at this time, his pro-soldier captain Zhang Jie stepped forward to report: "General, I have already found out, it was Mr. Yan who prevented the printing of miscellaneous newspapers last night, and he said that he would come to explain to the general." ”

"I don't need him to explain, I'm going to find him."

Li Qingan immediately ordered: "Prepare a carriage for me, I will go to the political affairs hall." ”

Soon the carriage arrived, Li Qingan got into the carriage, and the carriage drove towards the political hall under the strict escort of hundreds of personal soldiers.

In the carriage, Li Qing'an leaned against the wall of the carriage to read a report, which was sent by the political affairs hall the day before yesterday, and the imperial court wanted to ask Anxi to borrow a million silver dollars, that is, one million yuan, and the court's document said that the borrowed money was mainly used to pay for the officials owed, but Li Qing'an was worried that Li Yu would use the money for military spending, so he did not immediately agree, and needed to be considered.

In fact, Li Qing'an has obtained the details of the imperial court's financial revenue and expenditure from the intelligence of the internal affairs office, and the financial situation of the imperial court has come to this predicament, which is also expected by him, unable to open source and not throttle, I heard that the expenditure of the palace alone will cost five or six hundred thousand yuan a year, and the administrative expenses of maintaining the imperial court are not enough at all, Li Yu even has to raise an army of 100,000, if it were not maintained by the money in Li Longji's inner mansion last year, his 100,000 army would have escaped long ago, and now the money of the inner government is gone. Then all the crises were exposed at once.

Now Li Yu can only make up his mind with the emperor's relatives, otherwise he won't survive April.

The carriage turned a corner, and entered Li Qing'an's court room from the side door of political affairs, in a sense, Li Qing'an rested at home for a month, and also wanted to see with his own eyes, the operation of Anxi's government affairs when he was not there, the results made him very satisfied, Anxi's government affairs were running very smoothly, in fact, Anxi's government affairs were also set up in accordance with the system of three provinces and six ministries, mutual checks and balances, and collective decision-making, especially after Sima Pei Mian of the Hexi march, Du Hongjian and Shi Cuiyi, the servant Shi Cuiyi, and other more than 20 important officials from Hexi and Longyou came to Anxi, Historically, Pei Mian, Du Hongchuan, Liu Yan and others were the pillars of the imperial court in the middle and late stages of the Anshi Rebellion, enjoying a clear reputation, they may not be able to fight wars, but he has rich experience in dealing with government affairs.

Li Qing'an walked into his court room, although he was not there, he was still clean and spotless, and as soon as he sat down, Yan Zhuang walked in with a miscellaneous newspaper.

"Does the general want this newspaper? Half of it was printed last night, and I stopped it. ”

"Show me!"

Li Qingan took the newspaper and asked, "Why stop it?" ”

"Because there is a message related to the general, I think it is inappropriate to print it, so I stopped it, on the third page."

The third page is the news from the mainland of Datang, Li Qingan opened the third page, and Yan Zhuang pointed to the headline news and said: "This is it!" ”

I saw the headline read, 'Thirty landlords and hundreds of tenants in Weinan County sued Princess Huo's domestic slaves for forcibly occupying 300 hectares of fertile land at a price 60% lower than the market price. ’

'Weinan County? ’

Li Qingan suddenly remembered that his manor was also in Weinan County, and it was related to him, did he mean his manor? He continued to look down, and in the middle of the news, he saw his name, 'The 300 hectares of land that was forcibly occupied included 40 hectares of Yongye land under the envoy of Anxi Jiedu and His Royal Highness King Zhao. ’

"What? This old princess of Huo Guo dares to forcibly occupy my land! Li Qingan said angrily, this old princess of Huo Guo didn't even take him seriously.

"General, I guess this princess of Huo Guo doesn't know that there is your land in it, otherwise she wouldn't dare to give her a hundred guts, I'm not talking about this problem."

"What's the problem then?"

Li Qingan felt very strange, this news was nothing, it was nothing more than a target for Li Yu, what does this have to do with him?

"General, the miscellaneous newspaper said that the forty acres of land is the general's Yongye field, but the general's 100 acres of Yongye field are all in Anxi, which is publicly hung in the political hall, if the miscellaneous report comes out, everyone will think that the general occupies more than 40 acres of Yongye field in Anxi, which will affect the general's reputation."

"This ....." Li Qing'an really didn't take into account this, in fact, the four thousand acres of land were rewarded by Li Longji, and he didn't explicitly say that it was Yongye Field, and he didn't take those lands to heart, although he was angry just now because Princess Huo Guo forcibly occupied his own land, it was just a matter of face, and it had nothing to do with the land, but thanks to his strict and careful care, otherwise it would seriously damage his reputation, and he resolutely restricted land annexation in Anxi.

Thinking of this, Li Qingan smiled gratefully at Yan Zhuang and said: "Thanks to you, I didn't expect it, but that field is not my Yongye field, the official department ascended the throne is a job field, in fact, it is not even a job field, it is Li Longji's property that rewards me, my earliest Yongye field is in Bahuan City, a hundred acres, and I don't know what is happening now." ”

Seeing that Li Qing'an had cleared up the matter, Yan Zhuang was relieved, and said, "What does the general think of Princess Huo Guo being told?" ”

"Do you need to ask? Li Yu was already driven crazy by money, just when the matter of Princess Huo Guo came out, Li Yu would inevitably make a fuss about this matter, take this old princess under the knife, and peel a little money and food from her, but the matter is not as simple as he thought, he thought that Princess Huo Guo was powerless and powerless, and she could follow him to fix it, but in fact, there will be many people to protect her, including Li Longji, and even those local vassal kings, they will put pressure on Li Yu. ”

"What if Li Yu uses the name of protecting the general's property? With the crime of violating the prince, this will transfer everyone's anger to the general, making everyone think that Anxi Jiedu made Li Qingan put pressure on the back. ”

Li Qingan nodded and said with a smile: "He may do this, using me as a shield, but others are not fools, it depends on how far he wants to do this case, if it is just a matter of facts, return the three hundred hectares of land, and then kill the so-called house slaves, so maybe others will think that I am pressuring, and no one will investigate deeply, but if he wants to take the food of Princess Huo Guo and steal Princess Huo Guo's family property, you just look at it!" I'm afraid that even Li Yu himself can't think of the consequences. ”

At this time, the guards came to report, "General, the Changfu order is here." ”

"Let him in!"

After a while, Chang Jin hurriedly walked in, bowed to Li Qing'an, and said, "See the general." ”

Chang Jin still served as the commander of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in charge of Anxi's intelligence system, directly responsible to Li Qing'an, the Ministry of Internal Affairs not only has a large number of people, but also has established a complete intelligence transmission network, relying on flying pigeons, even information far away in Guangzhou can be transmitted to broken leaves through flying pigeons.

"I want to know, how much progress has been made in the eyeliner in the palace?"

Chang Jin hurriedly replied: "Back to the general, we spent 20,000 silver dollars to buy off sixty palace maids and eunuchs with a certain status in Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace, and we have already obtained information. ”

Saying that, Chang Jin took out a roll of pigeon letters and handed it to Li Qing'an, saying: "This was sent this morning, the saint visited Li Longji and had a conflict, mainly because of the princess of Huo Guo, in addition, Li Longji asked the saint to use An Qingzong to exchange with An Lushan for the king of Xiliang, but the saint did not seem to react, and An Qingzong was still under house arrest in An Lushan's mansion. ”

After reading the pigeon letter, Li Qingan smiled at Yan Zhuang and said, "It seems that Li Longji is not willing to be lonely. ”

Yan Zhuang nodded and said: "This is actually understandable, he has been an emperor for more than forty years, and he has been accustomed to the life of a supreme emperor, and now he has suddenly lost everything, and Li Yu still ascended the throne without authorization, how can he be willing, how can he be willing to be lonely, if I guess correctly, Li Longji must have a plan for restoration." ”

"It seems that Chang'an is going to be lively again, I really want to go and see it."

Speaking of this, Li Qingan said to Chang Jin: "To strengthen the monitoring of Chang'an, I will give you a list, and the people on the list must monitor their every move." ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Chang Zheng was just about to leave, but Li Qingan stopped him and said with a smile: "When did Chang Fu Ling become so anxious, I haven't said anything about the business I came to you today!" ”

"Shame on your subordinates!"

Chang Jin scratched his head embarrassedly and walked back, "Please give the general orders." ”

Li Qing'an pondered for a moment, and then said: "There are three things, the first is to increase the manpower of Chang'an, and concentrate the forces of all parts of Guanzhong and Luoyang to Chang'an; The second is to strengthen the security protection of the Huaqing Palace, I estimate that Li Yu will reduce the expenses of the Huaqing Palace, but we must ensure the regular expenses of the concubine, in addition, the Dugu family must also send special personnel to protect it; The third thing is to order the Anxi cabinet to help the officials from poor families, think about it as carefully as possible, don't care about any faction, even Yang Guozhong's subordinates have to help them, and tell them that I, Li Qingan, have been caring about them. ”

Speaking of this, Li Qingan said to Yan Zhuang again: "You go and tell Wang Changshi and ask him to send a document to the imperial court, if the imperial court wants to borrow a million silver dollars, you can, exchange the heads of Meng Yun and Luo Zhengyi." ”

Yan Zhuang was about to leave, but as soon as Li Qingan changed his mind, he said: "You invite Wang Changshi here, or I will tell him in person." ”
