readx; At the beginning of August, half a month has passed since the arrest of Pei Fu, and this matter has gradually been forgotten, and Pei Jiansu, who was arrested, also admitted his crime of collaborating with the enemy, he was dismissed from all positions and imprisoned in Dali Temple, Li Heng achieved his goal, he ordered to downplay the matter, and no one was allowed to mention this matter in any place, and in half a month, this matter seems to have become a very distant past. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the evening of this day, the time of the next dynasty has already passed, Li Heng is still busy in the Zichen Palace, tomorrow will be the August dynasty, he must review the content of tomorrow's court meeting tonight, and send it to officials above the fourth rank overnight, Li Shi is just a puppet after ascending the throne, he does not have any power before he becomes an adult, the actual power of the Tang Dynasty is in the hands of Li Heng and the political affairs hall, long before reaching the framework of this balance of power, Li Heng and Li Qingan conducted a series of negotiations, including the court meeting system, The court meeting is divided into fixed and non-fixed two kinds, non-fixed refers to the temporary convening of major events, the scale of the convening is determined by the political hall, and the fixed court will have three kinds, of which the small meeting once every ten years, called the ten meeting, mainly the ministry officials above the fifth grade to participate, and the middle meeting is a monthly meeting, once a month, all ministry officials must participate, as for the conference is the annual meeting, once a year, all officials in Beijing and above must attend, and not limited to the minister, some of the loose officials regardless of affairs also have to participate, mainly the annual pilgrimage, does not involve the actual government, It also involves personnel changes, and it is more of a ceremonial surname, so the monthly meeting has become the most important meeting.

The topic of the meeting is drawn up by the political affairs hall, submitted to the supervising state for approval, and the supervising state shall not be deleted, but one or two more important affairs can be added randomly, and tomorrow is the first monthly court meeting above Li Shi's accession to the throne, so its significance is extraordinary, Li Heng attaches great importance to it, and from the afternoon, he will review the agenda proposed by the political affairs hall in the morning in the court's room.

There are four major events on the agenda put forward by the Imperial Government Hall, the first is the implementation of the issue of land redistribution, at present, the Imperial Court has a large amount of arable land in its hands, which is basically the land that Li Yu recaptured from the hands of the magnates when he was in office, Li Yu unfortunately died before the land distribution was completed, and the land distribution was suspended, but under the strong appeal of Li Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the Government Hall decided to start the land distribution again, complete Li Yu's last wish, and make the proportion of self-cultivated farmers in the Guanzhong area reach seventy.

This plan has been unanimously approved by the political affairs hall, and everyone understands that the important surname of the yeoman farmers is difficult to reform because it will offend the interests of the powerful in the past, but now that the land has been recovered, things are much simpler, which Li Heng also agrees, so the government affairs hall can be unanimously approved.

The second thing is to emigrate 300,000 Han people to Anxi, to be completed within three years, this is Li Qing'an's plan, the purpose is to strengthen the Tang Dynasty's control over Anxi, in fact, the immigration to Anxi has begun as early as the Li Longji era, this is the overall decision of the Tang Dynasty's high-level, and has nothing to do with the power struggle, at that time it was to migrate 100,000 households to Hedong to settle in Anxi, but no one thought that it was these 100,000 Hedong immigrants that made Li Qing'an's power greatly strengthened, and eventually became the first powerful domain of the Tang Dynasty.

Now it is necessary to immigrate 300,000 households to Anxi, if it is a year earlier, Li Heng will definitely not agree, but now there is no point, Li Qing'an can recruit troops from Guannei, Guanzhong, Longyou, and Hedong, and these 300,000 households immigrating to Anxi is indeed to enrich the strength of the Han people in Anxi, so that the Tang Dynasty can permanently lay a foundation in Anxi.

The third thing is also related to Anxi, the construction of the Tang Straight Road, the same is Li Qing'an's suggestion, from the first batch of immigrants in Anxi to select its strong, plus Longyou, Guannei 100,000 young and strong laborers, from Huizhou, to build a straight road through the Hexi Corridor in one year, and the west from Tocharian and Sindh recruited 150,000 laborers to build, the west has already started, Li Qing'an hopes that the east will also start construction at the same time, the required 2 million silver money is all borne by Anxi, the imperial court needs to assist in the grain recruitment.

According to the information obtained by Li Heng, Tang Zhidao started work in Liangzhou a month ago, and Li Qingan used An Lushan's prisoners of war, but the food supply was a little difficult, so he wanted the imperial court to come forward, so that the food was guaranteed.

The intention of building the Tang Straight Road is obvious, to strengthen the connection between Anxi and the hinterland, it currently takes about more than a month from Yizhou to the Yellow River, once the spacious and flat Tang Straight Road is repaired, plus the guarantee of post stations and horses along the way, the messenger soldiers can reach the Yellow River in half a month, and the time is reduced by half.

Of course, Li Heng knew that Li Qing'an repaired Tang Straight Road in order to better control the Central Plains with the help of Anxi, but on the other hand, with Tang Zhidao, it was just as convenient for the Central Plains to control Anxi, which was like a double blade on a sword, which could hurt both others and himself, and it was from this point of consideration that Li Heng decided to agree to the construction of Tang Zhidao.

The above three issues are not big problems, Li Heng agreed, but what puzzled him was the fourth issue, the change of some officials, what official change? It was not explicitly stated, and Wang Heng, Fang Xuan, and Cui Jian all voted against this issue, and because Zhang Yun voted in favor, the bill was passed by 4 to 3.

What kind of motion is this, and why didn't Wang Heng tell himself? ’

Li Heng's brows furrowed, and he immediately said to his henchman eunuch Li Fuguo: "Go to Menxia Province to take a look, if Wang Xiangguo is still there, please come to me immediately." ”

In the past few days, Wang Heng has left Daming Palace quite late, he is likely not to leave yet, Li Heng is pacing in the room with his hands behind his back, he has a sense of ominousness in his heart, this feeling has been there since the arrest of Wei Jiansu half a month ago, at that time, because of the urgency of time, from Wang Heng told him that Wei Jiansu colluded with Li Longji to finally arrest Wei Jiansu, there was only an hour in between, and many details could not be implemented, so that two mistakes were made.

The first mistake was that it was not discussed and decided by the political affairs hall, according to the division of power between him and the political affairs hall, the arrest of officials above the fourth rank must be decided by the political affairs hall, and Wei Jiansu is a squire of the military department, obviously he exceeded his authority. The second is to let the Guanzhong army arrest Wei Jiansu, which is also beyond the authority, according to the partition agreement reached between him and Li Qing'an, the Guanzhong army and the Anxi army are only responsible for things outside the city, and neither army is allowed to enter the city, the affairs in the city are in charge of Jin Wuwei and Qianniuwei, and the Yulin army is responsible for the affairs of the palace and the imperial city, and the Guanzhong army is responsible for arresting Wei Jiansu, which is obviously a violation of the partition agreement.

In fact, Li Heng can't be blamed for this kind of low-level mistake, at that time, Li Heng ordered General Jin Wuwei to be in charge of this matter, and of course Jin Wuwei arrested people, so Li Heng did not give special instructions, but Chen Xuanli actually handed over the task to his henchman Lin Jian for the sake of safety, but Lin Jian was the general of the Guanzhong Army, and all kinds of mistakes led to the second mistake.

If Li Qingan seized these two mistakes to fight back, he could have released Wei Jiansu from prison and even reinstated as an official, but Li Qingan was silent, he didn't react in this matter, it was this unusual calm that made Li Heng feel abnormal, why didn't Li Qingan fight back? His calmness made Li Heng feel a kind of panic with a punch.

At this moment, he saw the fourth topic, and Li Heng's originally somewhat forgotten worries once again poured into his heart, tomorrow, what will Li Qingan do?

"Your Highness, Wang Xiangguo is here." Li Linfu reported at the door.

"Ask him to come in."

After a while, Wang Heng hurriedly walked in, bowed down and saluted, "See His Royal Highness the Prison State." ”

"Wang Xiangguo hasn't gone back yet, it's really hard."

Li Heng greeted him, then handed the topic of tomorrow's court meeting to Wang Heng and said, "Tell me about the fourth article, what are the personnel changes." ”

"It is a newcomer to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works, Wei Jiansu was dismissed, and after Cui Ping resigned, these two seats have been vacant, and there is also the post of Shangshu Youcheng, this morning the political hall was held, Li Qingan proposed three candidates, transferred Shaanzhou Taishou Miao Jinqing as the Ministry of War, transferred Guanzhong Caoyun Yuan Zai as the Ministry of Works, and asked to appoint Wang Wei as Shangshu Youcheng, these three power positions were occupied by them, and Fang Shangshu proposed Taichang Shaoqing Wang Yu was appointed as Jing Zhaoyin, we are not satisfied with the appointment of these four positions, They all voted against, but because Zhang Yun voted in favor, the appointment of the four people was approved, and the situation is roughly the same. ”

The result was that Li Heng was expected, they were in a weak position in the political hall itself, and Zhang Yun wanted to curry favor with Li Qing'an, they would definitely lose, but Li Heng didn't care about this, he cared about why Wang Heng didn't tell him, if he didn't ask, he would know nothing.

Li Heng said with a gloomy face: "In that case, why is it not clearly written in the court proposal?" Just write a simple sentence about other personnel changes, even if you explain it to me? ”

Wang Heng was stunned for a moment, only then did he understand where Li Heng's dissatisfaction was, he hurriedly said: "This is actually Cui Shangshu's meaning, listen to the opinions of other ministers in the court, if it is written, I am afraid it will be difficult to recover, write it vaguely, maybe there is a turnaround, and his subordinates also agree with Cui Shangshu's opinion, Li Qingan and others did not send it right, so it was simply settled." ”

After listening to Wang Heng's explanation, Li Heng's face turned a little pale, and he nodded and said, "Even so, you have to report to me in time, instead of letting me ask you." ”

"The subordinates originally wanted to report to His Highness, but they were busy with affairs for a while, so they forgot about it, please forgive Your Highness!"

"Forget it, since you have no intention, I won't pursue it."

Li Heng took the pen and signed the court meeting and handed it to Li Fuguodao: "Quickly hand it over to the palace eunuchs, let them engrave it immediately, and send it to the main ministers overnight." ”

After Li Fuguo left, Li Heng said to Wang Heng again: "It's not that I'm nitpicking, but we have to be very careful in the first month of the court meeting, Li Qing'an has not reacted to Wei Jiansu's matter last time, which is not in line with his style, I am very worried that he will make trouble at tomorrow's court meeting, so I am so cautious, lest I make a mistake." ”

Li Heng sighed and asked Wang Heng again, "Wang Xiangguo, what do you think?" ”

"The subordinates are also very worried, judging from Li Qing'an's killing of Meng Yun, this person is a person who can't rub sand in his eyes, we caught Wei Jiansu and gave the Pei family a slap in the face, he will definitely not give up, and his subordinates have also considered it, he is nothing more than a handle to catch us, so during this time, I specially told our backbone people to be careful, don't have a handle in his hands, even including the family members must be restrained, in short, the subordinates will not be careless."

Li Heng took a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said: "You agreed to his request in terms of migration and construction of the Tang Straight Road, which is a concession to him to a certain extent, and I also hope that he can understand this, but there is nothing wrong with being strict, especially you, Fang Xuan and Cui Lian, the three of you must not have any problems, otherwise it will be a heavy blow to me." ”

．．．．．．．．． At the same time that Li Henghe was discussing the matter of the next court meeting, Li Qing'an's carriage came to Xuanyifang under the escort of hundreds of personal soldiers.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of Zhang Yun's mansion, and a personal soldier ran up the steps and said to the surprised porter: "Hurry up and report to Zhang Shangshu, just say that General Li has come to visit from Anxi Jiedu." ”

"Wait a minute, I'll report it!" The porter turned around and rushed to the house, and after a while, Zhang Yun's third son Zhang Zhijie hurriedly walked out, Zhang Zhijie was in his early twenties, and was Zhang Yun's most beloved youngest son. He bowed to Li Qingan and said, "General, my father has not returned from fishing, and the general please come into the mansion for a while, I will send someone to find my father back." ”

Li Qingan pulled the curtain and smiled: "I don't know where Zhang Shangshu is fishing?" ”

"It's just under the Xuanyi Bridge in front, only a mile from here, and my father is always there."

"Okay, I'll go straight to him, and if he can't find me, I'll come back."

Zhang Zhijie hesitated for a moment and said, "That junior will take the general." ”

He immediately led a horse, turned over on the horse, and led Li Qingan to the Xuanyi Bridge in front....... At this time, Zhang Yun was fishing under the Xuanyi Bridge, although he had reappeared, he was still fishing in the river from time to time, chatting with a group of fishermen about the people's livelihood in the market, which was also a way for him to understand the people's feelings.

Zhang Yun is a scholar of Hallym University, and is also the leader of the literary world in Chang'an, with high prestige among the literati in Chang'an, although he is extremely knowledgeable, but his other side is a very old politician, many things can be seen clearly, see through, for example, Li Longji ascended the throne in Chengdu, Chang'an magnates flocked to him, Li Longji also wrote several times to invite him to go south, and promised him the position of secretary of the ministry, but he was unmoved, he knew that Li Longji just took a fancy to his prestige, not trusted him, because he was a person who supported Li Ji, the king of Shu, Since Li Jian's mysterious disappearance, Zhang Yun guessed that Li Jian must have been killed by Li Longji, if he went to Chengdu, it would be good to be able to bring a group of followers, if he had no followers, he was not as close as Yang Guozhong, his power was not as good as Cui Yuan, and his qualifications were not as good as Chen Xilie, how could he mix in Chengdu? At that time, Li Longji will settle accounts for his support for Li Ji.

On the contrary, he stayed in Chang'an, between the two major forces of Li Heng and Li Qing'an, his vote in the political hall was so crucial, and people on both sides wanted to curry favor with him, which was his greatest interest, how could he leave this interest and go to Chengdu?

Zhang Yun had a good harvest today, he caught more than 20 carp and crucian carp in an hour, at this time, it was already dusk, he was about to get up and go home, but he saw a carriage coming this way, and there was a large group of soldiers around the carriage.

Zhang Yun thought about it, and then he knew it in his heart, he smiled faintly, pulled the hat down, and didn't leave.

Li Qing'an stopped by the bridge, and there were several big men squatting on the side of the bridge, who were Zhang Yun's guards, and when they saw Li Qing'an coming, they immediately stood up nervously.

"What about my father?" Zhang Zhijie rushed forward and hurriedly asked.

One of the guards pointed under the bridge, "The lord is fishing down there." ”

At this time, Li Qing'an had already seen Zhang Yun's back, so he waved his hand and asked Zhang Zhijie not to disturb, he went directly off the bridge from the side path, slowly walked to Zhang Yun's side and said with a smile: "Zhang Shangshu is very elegant!" ”

Zhang Yun was startled, and when he looked up and saw that it was Li Qingan, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Why is the general here?" ”

He looked at his son again, and couldn't help but say with a sinking face: "This rebel didn't even inform me." ”

"Zhang Shangshu, don't blame Ling Lang, I don't want him to inform Shangshu."

At this time, several fishermen next to him saw Li Qingan coming, and they all hurriedly stood up and said to Zhang Yun: "Since Zhang Xiangguo has a little friend coming, then we will leave first." ”

Zhang Yun smiled and introduced Li Qing'an to them: "This is not a little friend, this is the general Li you often mention, His Royal Highness King Zhao." ”

Several old fishermen were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths, this young man turned out to be the famous Li Qing'an, they stayed for a long time, bowed down together and saluted: "We should die, don't blame the general." ”

Li Qingan returned the salute and smiled: "I am an uninvited guest, and I disturbed a few old men fishing, and I want to apologize." ”

He smiled at the old man closest to him: "This old man, borrow your stool and fishing rod, and I will send someone to return it to you tomorrow." ”

"General, just take it!"

Li Qingan also put on a hat, sat next to Zhang Yun, and said with a smile: "I also often fish when I break leaves, so let's be Zhang Shangshu's fisherman today!" ”

Zhang Yun smiled slightly and said: "Zhang Yun is fortunate to have a fisherman like the general." ”

The two of them flicked the rod together and threw the line out in a long way.

"I've heard that there are no fish in Atami, right?"

"The hot sea is sparkling and vast, how can there be no fish, it's just that the locals say that there are water monsters in the sea and don't dare to fish, has Zhang Shangshu been to Anxi?"

"I have only been to Hexi as farthest, to Juyanhai, thousands of horses galloping, galloping along Juyanhai, that spectacular scenery I still can't forget."

Zhang Yun recalled the past and sighed in a low voice: "Thirty years have passed, I am also old, I can no longer walk, I will end up in Chang'an!" ”

"Although people are old, but there are children and grandchildren, it is like life is inexhaustible, I just talked to Ling Lang a few words, Ling Lang has unique insight and far-reaching vision, and he is worthy of being the son of Zhang Shangshu."

"What did he say?"

"Ling Lang persuaded me to use more young officials in Anxi, most of the young officials are ambitious, forge ahead, very suitable for expanding the frontier, I told him, the average age of officials in Anxi is only twenty-eight years old, Zhang Zhihe is only twenty years old this year, it is already a county order, leading the people to build a city, open up wasteland and farm, the people are grateful to him, so they named a tea mountain Zhihe Mountain, which can be described as a hundred generations, I asked Ling Lang if he would like to go to Anxi as an official, Ling Lang said to ask for your consent."

Speaking of this, Li Qing'an laughed lightly, and Zhang Yun asked with a silent smile: "If the dog really goes to Anxi, is the general welcome?" ”

"Of course I welcome, go to Anxi to exercise for a few years, the ability is generally much higher than the peers in the Central Plains, after coming back, the future is immeasurable, like Pei Kuan's eldest grandson Pei Yu, go to only a few years, can represent Anxi to read the power to make a big food, Byzantium, only twenty-five years old, has been appointed as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, if Ling Lang goes to Anxi, I will also give him the opportunity to exercise, it just so happens that this batch of 50,000 immigrants are going to Anxi, I plan to build another fifteen counties, Ling Lang can make a county order, lead the people to build a county from scratch, exercise a few years and come back, I think it's more than enough to be too guarded. ”

Zhang Yun glanced back at his son, only to see him standing on the bridge, looking at himself expectantly, it seems that Li Qingan has moved him, and he actually started from his son, which is really amazing!

"Thank you for the kindness of the general, this matter makes me think about it again."
