Luoyang, Feng Dao's mansion. To read the latest chapters, please lock the biquge.info of Aishang Novels
The prime minister of the Later Tang Dynasty has enjoyed peace in the past year. In the military affairs of the north, Li Congke did not let him interfere, but only let him deal with civil affairs, as for the south, as Li Congke's position became more and more stable, the southeast, southwest and southwest countries did not dare to provoke Luoyang, and Jing Chu even sent envoys to make superficial claims to be ministers. Li Congke was fighting hard to deal with the north, so he had no intention of going to war to the south, which made the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River line peaceful, and the products of the south were also transported north in this situation, which promoted the economic recovery of the Central Plains on the one hand, and promoted the prosperity of the entire Silk Road from a larger perspective. Although the whole world is still in the midst of war and separation, there is an unprecedented prosperity along the Silk Road.
As for the northwest, the Tiance Tang army maintained a consistent foreign policy, and continued to maintain the positioning of the "brotherly state", originally at the border border, even if there was no war, it would inevitably be economically depressed, but between Qin and Long, due to the restraint of the Later Tang Dynasty and the efforts of the Tiance army, the northwest frontier prospered day by day, if it were not for the fact that the two sides were not under the same regime, so that people of insight had hidden worries about the future, this was simply the beginning of a prosperous era.
As a believer in Confucianism, his heart is oriented towards the people, "the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light" - it doesn't matter which king's prime minister, even if he wants to compromise with foreign people, he can be patient, and the most important thing is to alleviate the suffering of the people and increase the well-being of the people. As long as anyone can do this, Feng Dao will not hesitate to support him.
From the letters of Fan Zhen, the envoy of the Later Tang Dynasty to Liangzhou, Feng Dao sensed that Ganlong's government was in the midst of a rapid recovery after taking the right pathβa recovery that was in the Sui and Tang dynasties. Many of the infrastructure facilities left over from the Sui and Tang dynasties have been repaired in the hands of the Tiance Army, and there are many new facilities under construction. This situation is much more clever than the surrounding Later Shu, Tubo, and Khitan regimes. Even the Later Tang Dynasty, which Feng Dao was in charge of (the civil affairs department), was also stunned.
In recent years, there have even been some subtle changes: after the Tiance regime promulgated a certain policy for the benefit of the people, Luoyang and Chengdu would follow up, and although some changes would be made, they were all echoes of the political reform in Liangzhou.
The soldiers and the common people did not feel anything about this change, but Feng Dao was keenly aware that this was a harbinger of great changes in heaven and earth -- Liangzhou actually led the first trend of system change in the world, and this was a fundamental event in the national political struggle
"Every step of the Tiance Army is in front of the court."
Feng Dao tapped the letter sent by Fan Zhen and sighed.
After putting Fan Zhen's letters into the secret bag, he took out a few more lettersβthis is the situation in northern Qin.
In recent years, Buddhism in the Central Plains has undergone some subtle changes, and almost every state has added some high-ranking monks who are deeply related to Buddhism in the northwest, either directly from the northwest or who agree with the Buddhist spirit advocated by Zhang Mai under the Ganlong regime. They actively entered the WTO as people from outside the world, helped the poor and the weak, and cared for the orphans and the elderly, but they also abided by the local laws and tried their best to cooperate with the government rather than compete with the government for power. And these temples are connected by sound and air, from Shule to Liangzhou, from Liangzhou to Chang'an, from Chang'an to Luoyang, and then to Taiyuan, Youzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, forming an invisible network. Much of the information of the Tiance regime was transmitted through guΓ².
However, it was not only Zhang Mai and Lu Jialing who knew how to take advantage of this, the Central Plains taxi class was also fighting for this, intellectuals often had contacts with Buddhist monks, lived in residence while studying, and stayed in residence when traveling-this was a tradition formed since the Tang Dynasty, and they also used this network to build their own information network, and sometimes shared information with Buddhism--As the leader of the intellectual circles, Feng Dao was able to receive all kinds of rumors, and there were some things that Li Congke was concealed, but Feng Dao knew everything about them.
At this time, the letters he read were some things that even the Privy Council Liu Yanlang had ignored - that is, the changes in northern Qin
"Monk Lu did a good thing," Feng Dao muttered, "But he thinks that no one can see through what he did?" Is it true that there is no one in the Central Plains?" he closed the letter and pondered: "But they can save hundreds of thousands of people in such a cost, but it is also a great merit. The saint is now bent on dealing with the horses and Khitan first, and he has no interest in the disease of Qinbei Mustard, but this sign seems to be small, but it needs to be put to an end, but if I rashly pierce this matter, in the end, it will not only be useless to the country, but with the style of Liu Yanlang and others, most of them will hurt these hundreds of thousands of people, I should think of a way, so that the people will not only benefit from it, but also pull Zhe and Yang back. β
His ability is rarely matched by anyone in the world, even Zheng Wei, Zhang Yi and others, who have been trained for a long time under the Tiance regime, are three points weaker than him in terms of heat. However, Zheng Wei, Lu Jialing and others are of one heart with Zhang Mai, and they can use all the power that the Tiance regime can use when they act, but Feng Dao and Li Congke are two hearts, Li Congke's purpose is to dominate, and to let his monarchy cover the four seas, and Feng Dao only uses him to help his herdsmen collect taxes, and the reason why Feng Dao cooperates with Li Congke is how to best protect the people and the world. Because of this, although he is in the position of Zaifu, the power he can use is very limited, Han Zhaoyin, Liu Yanlang and others often hinder him, and even such things as obtaining information, Feng Dao has to use his personal influence to complete it.
Even so, he quickly came up with a way to resolve Lu Jialing's infiltration within the existing post-Tang system.
Just as he was about to summon someone to act, suddenly two disciples outside broke in, and said in a hurried voice: "Something big has happened to the teacher."
"What? What is the big deal, Ling Er and the others are so flustered. β
"News from the Northeast that the stone horse has entered Youzhou"
"What" Feng Dao was so cultivated, and he was so shocked that he shook his hand and brushed a few paperweights to the ground
"What did you say," he asked repeatedly
At first, Liu Yanhao did not take this matter to heart, and he did not report to the east for the first time, and when the matter was big, it was passed on to the east before and after, Feng Dao's door man briefly recounted the matter, and said: "The stone horse suddenly came to the city of Youzhou, and the hearts of the soldiers in the city changed greatly, Liu Yanhao was horrified, and ordered the four gates to be closed, and did not go to war, and abandoned the soldiers and horses who were still lost outside the city. He secretly gathered elite soldiers and horses that night, and planned to flee if he couldn't hold it, not wanting the soldiers in the city to hate him like this, and mutinied before dawn on the second day. I heard that the leader is Zhang Lingzhao, who is quite famous in the army. β
Feng Dao changed color and said: "There is a big enemy outside the city if you mutiny, and if you mutiny inside the city, you can pay it back."
"That's what the master said."
Feng Dao asked again: "Then how will Liu Yanhao deal with it?" β
"When he heard that something had changed, he fled from the south gate with his cronies."
Feng Dao was so cultivated, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at this time-but it was just a raise, and then he calmed down, and his expression was still like an ancient well: "Hmph, he is indeed such a person." Then he sighed again: "It's just that in this way, Youzhou can't hold it." β
"Yes, I heard that after Liu Yanhao escaped from Youzhou, Shi Juma followed and stationed."
Feng Daodao: "Even the news of the stationing of the stone horses has arrived, so why is the news of the siege of Youzhou coming now?"
"The division is compatible," the doorman said: "The siege of Youzhou came suddenly, and the loss of Youzhou was also sudden, and I heard that after Liu Yanhao fled south, he ordered not to send the news back to the eastern capital along the way, we know these news, it is because the stone horse entered Youzhou and spread Hebei, and the defenders of Hebei who were not subordinate to Liu Yanhao hurriedly sent the police to the eastern capital, so we only knew these things. β
Feng Dao was furious, but as soon as his face calmed down, there would be no more fluctuations, and he just said: "Wrong country, wrong country, if he can hold on for a few days and wait for reinforcements, why is he so wolf?" Or if the news comes earlier, the court can also take precautions. If it is not to destroy the grain and grass baggage - the stone horse should have been in the northwest of the clouds, and suddenly appeared in the northeast, it must not bring much grain and grass baggage, as long as the baggage is burned, he will not be able to stay for a long time, listen to what you just said, now the valley in Youzhou is afraid that it will fall into the hands of the stone horse. β
"I'm afraid so. I really don't understand why he still has to cover up when he loses the battle, and he has to make mistakes again and again. β
Feng Dao said: "This makes sense. However, he refused to say what this reasoning was, for fear of teaching the students badly, and asked, "Where are the strikers of the horses now?" Does Majesty know about this? β
"The latest news that the students heard is that the defenders of Dingzhou are in a hurry, and now they don't know where they are. As for whether His Majesty knows it or not, I don't know. β
Feng Dao tidied up his clothes and said, "Wait for me to enter the palace."
His sedan chair had just left the mansion, and someone from the Privy Council came to stop him and asked him to go to the meeting, Feng Dao's shock just now was only a moment, so he had already calculated the process and trend of the matter, and he was not surprised, so he came to see Han Zhaoyin and Liu Yanlang, only to see that he was both trembling, Feng Dao said: "The second prince is like this, is it for the affairs of Youzhou?" β
Liu Yanlang said with a sad face: "Xianggong is really well-informed, and he already knows it." β
Feng Daodao: "Hearing Liu Gong say this, could it be that His Majesty has not yet known?" β
Liu Yanlang sighed: "How dare we say this? Who would dare to say? We have already spoken to Empress Liu, but Empress Liu does not dare to say it. β
The protΓ©gΓ© who followed Feng Dao was filled with righteous indignation when he heard it, thinking that the country would be in great trouble, and you still "dare not say it" Feng Dao was not surprised at all, as soon as he heard that Liu Yanhao was still covering up the news on the way to escape, he knew that he was in order to let his people enter the Eastern Capital first, and then show the emperor in a way that Li Congke could accept after the arrangements were made, otherwise, if he let others take the first step to talk about this matter, even if he Liu Yanhao is the uncle of the country, I am afraid that before he escapes to Luoyang, Li Congke's holy decree will arrive
However, it is precisely because of this that the good opportunity to prepare for war has been delayed a lot
Although Feng Dao was annoyed in his heart, but he had seen through the rise and fall of emperors over the years, and he had experienced more absurd things than this, so he was not angry, he meant to hurry up to Li Congke, but he was not in a hurry, knowing that since Han Zhaoyin and Liu Yanlang stopped him, he didn't want to say it himself, and he didn't plan to be a person - whether it was Han and Liu, or Liu Yanhao, or Queen Liu.
At this time, he just said softly: "Such a big event, after all, it is difficult to hide it for a long time, report it a day earlier, although Your Majesty is very angry, but go to the person in charge of the army, if it is delayed, I am afraid that those who will bear the anger of Your Majesty will be on the front line, and even those of us who are in charge of military and political affairs will suffer from the pond fish." β
With just a slight click, Han Zhaoyin and Liu Yanlang's faces changed greatly.
Feng Dao thumped his waist and said, "The old man will go back to prepare the chapter, and when he arrives tomorrow morning, he will play it to His Majesty." He replied.
On the way, his protΓ©gΓ© couldn't help but say: "The master is in a hurry, and you can enter the palace to face the saint, why do you have to wait until tomorrow?" β
Feng Dao neither answered nor responded.
How did his disciples know that as soon as Feng Dao left, Han Zhaoyin and Liu Yanlang immediately turned around and entered the palace - Feng Dao's words have been picked out clearly: this matter cannot be concealed after all, although Liu Yanhao has Empress Liu as a backer, but Li Congke is not an emperor who does not love the country and loves beauty, and the price of helping him hide it may be to follow the funeral
And Feng Dao is in charge, he has nothing to do with it, Han and Liu are in charge of the Privy Council, and they are the first to be held accountable in the event of an accident, so although they are afraid of Li Congke's anger, the two of them still quickly turned around and entered the palace
After Feng Dao returned to the mansion, he didn't change into civilian clothes, just sat in the hall and waited, and it didn't take long for the eunuchs in the palace to run all the way in a hurry, urgently summoning him to the palace to discuss matters, and asked Feng Dao to do whatever he was doing, and the latecomer beheaded Feng Dao and asked: "Father-in-law, why is Your Majesty so anxious?" β
"How do we know," the eunuch said with weak legs, "But since His Majesty ascended the throne, I have never seen Long Yan so angry with Xiangye, you should have also heard that on weekdays, His Majesty loves the pair of Tang Sancai that Wu Yue Jin offered, and he often wipes himself with his own eyes, but when I went in today, I saw that Tang Sancai had been shattered into dozens of pieces on the ground, and His Majesty's thunderous anger can be imagined...... Xiangye, don't say it, let's leave quickly, if you go late, I'm afraid that the slave's cheap life will not be saved. β
Feng Dao nodded in agreement, got into the sedan chair again, and suddenly glanced at the northwest before getting on the sedan chair, and muttered in a voice that others couldn't hear clearly: "Although the Central Plains army is gradually recovering, the manpower is rich, and the talents are numerous, but the atmosphere is like this, how can the light of the slanting sun compete with the sun of Zhongtian" shook his head and sat in the sedan chair.
