Early the next morning, Xue Chongxun first went to the Xuanzheng Hall to meet with the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall and the ministers who held real power, and listened to a little bit of business mixed with long nonsense. Due to the mention of the Khitan during this period, the three scholars of the cabinet also talked about it when he returned to the Inner Dynasty. Xue Chongxun authorized the cabinet to check the chapters in various places, so they analyzed the affairs of Youzhou on the basis of the information reported above, Xue Chongxun nodded from time to time and listened with a serious attitude, but rarely expressed his opinion, of course, when they were arguing about some irrelevant issues, Xue Chongxun inevitably occasionally wandered.

Perhaps Xue Chongxun was not born to deal with all kinds of tedious government affairs, and he felt very bored in the palace every morning, but he still worked tirelessly "diligently" every day. He always has some of his own perceptions and thoughts about many things, such as thinking that when objective conditions such as qualifications and talents cannot be changed, the way to do one thing well is to soak time in it. Just doing this doesn't necessarily make things perfect, at least not too bad. Just like the faint monarchs who lost their country in the history books he read, many of them are playthings and are too unrestrained, and they don't know what happened in the government and the world at all, and it's no wonder that others fool him.

Therefore, Xue Chongxun often meets with ministers, although he usually only listens to the advice of others most of the time, but it is not a bad thing to feel that he can roughly understand the situation.

Zhang Jiuling was talking eloquently: "In the end, there are only so many local Dingkou in the Khitan, and they have been defeated by the Turks, which cannot be compared with the previous Tubo and Turkic. After the Turkic War, the Khitan repaired relations with the imperial court, the border horse market was opened, and because the imperial court won over the benefits such as pastures in the old Turkic land, weren't they satisfied with the alliance in Heisha City? It's only been a few months, why are you going to rebel? There must be something strange in it. ”

Su Jin said: "The Northeast has repeatedly rebelled many times, they are insatiable, not to promise a little benefit can be fine for a long time, since the governor of Youzhou and Changshi have written at the same time that there are signs of rebellion, we can't be too careless to sit idly by, beware of the recurrence of the Wu Zhou Dynasty's several defeats against the Khitan, which will damage the prestige of our dynasty's martial arts, and let those young people with bad intentions think that there is an opportunity." ”

A few years ago, Zhang Shuo and Xue Chongxun joined forces to carry out the reform of the military system, with the official health as the core, and the governor regained the military power, and the military and political system continued after the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, and the pattern of the late Tang Dynasty did not change much. The governor actually controlled the official soldiers stationed in the local area recruited in the name of the imperial court, which was equivalent to a small military region, and the official army belonged to the professional recruitment directly under the central government, and the governor was also a Beijing official, and his family members were all in Chang'an. At this time, Changshi was a magistrate, and evolved into the actual ruler of the local state and county, and it was called the bureaucrat who assisted the assassin history, but because many of the later assassins were nobles and nobles, and they had no talent to govern the local area and only knew pleasure, so Changshi took on the task of running the local bureaucratic system.

Wang Changling also spoke: "Maybe it is the misadministration of the local officials that has aroused the dissatisfaction of other clans, and so on, the governor does not dare to report the truth, we can't just listen to their recitals, since the Khitan has not yet raised troops to attack the interior, we are not in a hurry to fight, it is best to send a royal historian to the northeast to inspect, and then make a decision after listening to the facts." ”

Xue Chongxun felt that Shaobo's words were a more reliable way to deal with it, so he finally spoke: "You recommend a person who can do practical things, let's take a look." ”

At this time, Su Jin said: "I think Li Mi is suitable for this errand." His Majesty had also seen this person, who used to walk around the Jin Palace, and had also run a book editorial to discuss Huayi's distinction. ”

"I remember." Xue Chongxun said suddenly, "It seems to be a young man, the same age as a young uncle." It is a good thing that young people are talented, ambitious, and willing to do practical things. I think it's okay, I'll send a message to the political hall in a while, let Li Mi do the imperial history, rush to Youzhou to inspect and then return to Beijing to report the truth, and let's discuss the Khitan matter again. ”

…… Li Mi's surname is Li, but he has nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty clan, he naturally has other relationships, otherwise how could he get Su Jin's recommendation? There is an elder in this human race named Li Ghost Hand, this is enough, it is not strange to be able to walk around the pro-kingdom and get Su Jin's recommendation. That Li Ghost Hand is a hermit who has withdrawn from officialdom, although it is not seen in poetry books, but he has a good reputation in the officialdom and has a wide range of friends, even if he sneers at his reputation in private, he doesn't want to offend him, just imagine that people who eat grains may one day get an incurable disease, and Li Ghost Hand is a ghost hand that can bring people back to life in rumors.

When Li Guishou was young, he worked as a bureaucrat in the Taichang Temple of the Tang Dynasty for a while, and later resigned and ran away, saying that he didn't like officialdom. Later, Xue Chongxun also tried to win over this person several times and asked him to go out of the mountain, but he was unsuccessful. He may be a person who really doesn't like worldly fame and fortune, but the junior Li Mi is a young man with a career in office, and he also agrees with Xue Chongxun's policies, and there is no problem with his position. So with Su Jin's recommendation, Xue Chongxun immediately agreed with some impressions.

He was appointed to supervise the imperial history, and he did not see the emperor, and he got the holy decree and the official seal and other things to go out of Beijing to do business, and before leaving, he ran to the Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace and bowed to the city tower a few times, and said something that did not disgrace the mission.

Li Mi took a few entourages and went all the way to Youzhou by post road. He was not delayed on the road, Rao was like this, and he only arrived in Youzhou in early February, and the local officials had already received a message from the imperial history of the capital to inspect, and it was not a problem to send people to greet him. Li Mi is not familiar with the life of Youzhou, but fortunately, the identity of the imperial history is there, and the magistrate naturally has to flatter and treat him with courtesy. When he entered Youzhou City, the first thing he went to was not the state government or the governor's mansion, but he was taken to a luxurious mansion, but when he saw the red paint on the door, it must be the eunuch's house, and there was a plaque on it: Fan Yang Lu's family. There are also some words below: famous works in the sea, learning for Confucianism, models of scholars, and Zhengan of the country.

In the end, Li Mi is still young, and he does look up a little when he sees those two lines, although his background is not bad, but where can he compare with such a family? Li Mi subconsciously thought that there was no one in the ancestors who could be compared, only his uncle Li Ghost was a little biased to be famous, and he was a little ashamed of himself for a while. And this Lu family does not say that since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, there have been many people, and no matter how lonely Li Mi is, he can't fail to hear of Lu Zhaolin.

However, he was also a little puzzled after a while, before coming to Youzhou, he had learned that the governor was called Zhao Qu and Changshi was called Wang Xianzhi, and they were not surnamed Lu, so why was he brought to the Lu family as soon as he came? Since he was brought here by the officials of Youzhou, Li Mi said in his heart that the imperial history of Laozi's court was not worthy of him, so he raised his head and flicked his official robe and stepped into the threshold with his entourage.

The trees in the house are tall, the houses are elegant, the rocks, the streams and bridges are scattered, and as soon as Li Mi came in, he heard the faint sound of reading, and a Confucian spirit suddenly came to his face. Occasionally, I would meet a few people in robes, all of whom humbly gave way, and the etiquette was very good, and their faces were full of friendly smiles, but in this humility there was a sense of pride.

But after a while, I finally saw a few people in red and green official uniforms coming, one with a righteous square face and another red face and a wide and fat official came almost side by side, standing opposite Li Mi, and then arching each other. The red-faced smile and said unhurriedly: "The imperial court imperial history came to the state to be disrespectful, and it was rude. I am the governor of Youzhou, this is the governor of Zhao, and Lu Gong is also there. Lu Gong is hospitable, I heard that Li Yushi came from afar, and I would like to do the friendship of the landlord to invite Yushi to the house to pick up the wind and wash the dust, please. ”

Li Mi glanced at the elegant middle-aged man behind the two bureaucrats, and said with a fist in his fist: "Look up for a long time." ”

Na Lu Gong was dressed in a cloth robe, not like the current official, but he could sit and laugh on an equal footing with Shi Ping, the governor and governor of the prefecture who held the military power of a place, and did not have the slightest appearance of inferiority. Li Mi knew very well that although Wu Zhoushi's killing and suppression of the world's great scholars could be said to have hurt the vitality of the gate valve, some big families still had untouched foundations, and their reputations were good, even the local governors had to be very polite in front of them, and even had to listen to the opinions of the scholars, otherwise they would not be able to govern locally.

As the group walked, I heard Lu Gong say his opinion to Zhao Dudu with a square face: "Those Khitan people and Xi people in Youzhou are vulgar, don't have too much contact with them, last time I brought the Khitan people to my house, it was really a sweep!" ”

Somehow, Li Mi suddenly felt a little disgusted with this person's face, which was the opposite of the good impression and admiration when he first entered the door. Li Mi was also a person of the Yiyi faction, and in his political opinions, he was not accustomed to the ethnic policy of the Tang Dynasty, but agreed with Xue Chongxun's dry method. It stands to reason that listening to Lu Gong's words is also the same person, but Li Mi is a little disgusted by this for some reason.

Zhao Qu, who had a righteous face, was very kind at this time: "The people who came back are also Khitan nobles, because they led the tribe to vote, we naturally have to treat them with courtesy." ”

Lu Gong said unhappily: "Khitan nobles? What kind of nobles does the Khitan have, but a group of barbarians who don't know etiquette and don't read, look at the person who came back, it's just that he is untidy and sloppy, and the ornaments on his body are even more vulgar, as if he is afraid that others will not know that he has a little wealth, what is the difference between him and the peddler pawn who got rich overnight? Is this also considered aristocracy? ”

The red-faced Wang Xianzhi smiled and said, "How can the Khitan barbarians be compared to our scholars? However, the Dahe clan is not simple, the above are the candidates for the successive Khitan leaders, and their clansmen come to vote, so we naturally can't slack off. Besides, some Khitan people are honestly obedient, and when they arrive in Youzhou, they also learn from the scholars in everything, and it is also our duty not to cause trouble and educate them...... What does Li Yushi think? The court also thinks the same way, right? ”G
