Chapter 894: Wind and Cloud
"Your Majesty, Songzhou sent the letter of Tubo, this time to the Tang Dynasty is headed by Xiangguo Lu Dongzan, there are about 100 officials, 100 guards, and other monks, merchants, servants, etc., adding up to 300 people, and the tribute includes furs, horses, spices, saffron, cordyceps and other valuable items." Above the main hall, Du Ruyan reported the situation of Ludong Zandong.
"It seems that Tubo has made a huge noise this time, and has come to see me?" Li Xin glanced at everyone with a smile and said, "Isn't he afraid, all the things that come from the tribute are left in the Central Plains?" ”
"I heard that Songtsen Gampo likes the culture of the Tang Dynasty very much, if it weren't for the busy state affairs, I'm afraid I would have come to see Your Majesty in person." Du Ruhui also said with a smile.
"With so many people coming, although our future diplomatic relations will be dominated by war, we can't be rude in this regard, so we can take care of it." Li Xin thought about it, decided to be more generous, and asked again: "Where has the Turkic envoy arrived?" Tsk, there are a lot of people brought this time! ”
"The power of obsessiveness has reached the point of determination. After estimating, he should arrive in Chang'an with the Tibetan envoy. Du Ruhui also smiled: "If these two families don't communicate well, the ministers will feel strange." ”
"Your Majesty, is there any conspiracy for these two families to come together? Or is it to join forces to force me Datang? Chu Suiliang said with some worry. The faces of the people in the main hall also changed.
"Even if it is? Am I still afraid of two states in Datang? We and the Turks have small wars on the frontier every day, and either you kill me, or I kill you. The Turks will not attack our Tang Dynasty in a short period of time, and as for the Tubo people, we can't kill the territory of Tubo, but the Tubo people still can't attack the Tang Dynasty. Songtsen Gampo is the lord of the belt, but he has just unified the grassland not long ago, and he wants to attack the Tang Dynasty. Aren't you afraid that his backyard will catch fire? Li Xin said indifferently.
"Your Majesty is very true, even if the enemy is besieged on both sides? My own strength is really strong, I Datang has a strong army, and I am afraid that the two clowns will not succeed. Li Jing said loudly: "The Tang Dynasty is vast, under the governance of His Majesty, the country is rich and the people are strong, the grain and grass are sufficient, and the Turks will definitely not be able to jump for a few days." ”
"Okay, good, it's good that the general has such confidence." Li Xin laughed. Looking around and saying: "When the envoys of the two countries come, they should also say that they can ask for the things they sent, and they can send some things casually when they go back." If you send too much, people won't appreciate it, and if you send too little, the other party will be helpless. ”
"Yes." Everyone listened to Li Xin's scoundrel's words, and there was a secret laugh in their hearts, but they could only nod their heads and say yes.
"Your Majesty. Shandong Urgent. As everyone was talking, they saw Ji Gang striding in, his face solemn, and the hearts of everyone in the hall sank. I am afraid it is not good news to make the deputy commander of Jinyiwei so nervous.
"What's the matter?" Li Xin asked very calmly. What can happen in Shandong, and will anyone dare to rebel? There are a lot of soldiers and horses around, killing several families. You can also get a lot of benefits!
"Lord Wei Zheng killed 138 illegal heroes in Shandong, some of whom were children of the Cui family and other big families, and were imprisoned and exiled from the big families, and as many as 300 local heroes and strongmen." Ji Gang hurriedly said.
"So much." Li Xin's face was stunned when he heard this. Standing up suddenly, Song He hurriedly took the piece in Ji Gang's hand and handed it to Li Xin. In his heart, he was shocked, Wei Zheng did it too quickly this time, and it affected a wide range.
"Hey!" Li Xin opened the chapter, sighed, and said: "Hey, although there are many people in the family who are considered to be the pillars of the Tang Dynasty, some of them are big rats, corrupt and pervert the law, some people disregard people's lives, some people who bully men and women, and some people who exploit the people. Wei Zheng did not make a mistake in this move. Send a message to Wei Zheng to come back! ”
Everyone didn't speak, Wei Zheng made such a big thing in Shandong, and in the end it was just a recall, which shows Li Xin's trust in Wei Zheng. It's just that the current situation in Shandong is shocking, and what to do next, it is also necessary to sort it out.
"Your Majesty, it is better to send an old and serious person to Shandong for the matter." Ma Zhou thought for a while and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the current big families in Shandong have already made trouble, although Lord Wei insists on ruling the country by law, but Shandong is a special place, and the minister thinks that he will send Qin to send it again." Wei Yuancheng also spoke.
"Since it is a violation of the law, it must be punished, and you can't just open the net because the other party is a family, I Datang has no character who is above the law. If they have grievances, will they dare to rebel? Li Xin said disdainfully: "Shandong's affairs, how should it be, that's how it is, after this imperial examination, the people who were elected to be proficient in government affairs went to Shandong to take up their posts, and when people were transferred from Guanzhong and Bashu to Shandong, they couldn't let the clans of Shandong control Shandong again, I don't believe that that place can't even splash water into it, and it has become the private land of the Shandong family?" Li Xin's voice was very loud, and there were bursts of echoes from the big hall, which showed the anger in Li Xin's confidence, and the ministers did not dare to speak after hearing it.
Li Xin left the hall angrily, but everyone in the hall had complicated faces, and Chu Suiliang said in a low voice: "I'm afraid those guys in Shandong are going to make trouble again." ”
"What are you afraid of, it's a big deal to eradicate them all." Wei Yuancheng said disdainfully: "Those guys are all sanctimonious hypocrites, one set on the surface, and another set in private, I have long been unaccustomed to it." This time, Lord Wei did a big thing. ”
"A family that has lost its private soldiers is equivalent to a toothless tiger, a family that has lost its land is equal to duckweed on the water, a family that has no foundation and has lost money is equal to a person with blood, and the Shandong family has lost all three things, and the Li family of that year tossed the Shandong family again." Du Ruhui let out a long sigh.
"If that's all it takes, forget it, but if Wei Zheng catches the handle, they deserve their bad luck." Wei Yuancheng's face froze, and soon returned to normal, in fact, the Wei family and other Kwantung families only had money left, but simply that he was the prince of the country, and after destroying Goguryeo and the Turks, he still had a piece of land outside the country, which was also a great luck in misfortune, and it was much better than the Shandong family.
Thinking of this, Wei Yuancheng was a little glad that he supported Li Xin back then, otherwise, he was played to death by Li Yuan before, and then he was played to death by Li Xin. But the left and right are dead, Wei Yuancheng suddenly thought of something, and his face changed.
"Master Du, if this person has nothing, what do you say about them?" Wei Yuancheng looked at Du Ruhui, and he was greeted with a pair of frightened faces, the Shandong family was severely weakened by Wei Zheng this time, and he didn't know how many places where Haoqiang followed behind him was unlucky. You must know that the Shandong family is a whole, with the five surnames as the head, the local county wang, and the next level is the local wealthy and powerful households, which are intertwined with each other in order to form a Shandong family. Now Wei Zheng is directly targeting these local heroes, which is equivalent to cutting off the foundation of the family. Whether these big families will take risks or not, no one knows.
"Hurry up and send someone to escort Lord Wei into Beijing. If something goes wrong with Wei Zheng, I'm afraid Shandong will bleed for thousands of miles. Du Ruhui was also shocked, it was inevitable that these big families would take this step.
If this is the case, according to Li Xin's urine, I'm afraid something will really happen. Once the blow to Shandong is strengthened, how much of Shandong's family can be left or second, at this stage, Datang can not completely split with these families, it can only be weakened.
"Probably not that exaggerated!" Chu Suiliang whispered on the side.
"It's better to be careful, anything can happen." Cen Wenwen smiled bitterly: "No matter when this person is or what happens, if it touches his bottom line, he will do anything." ”
"I heard that Lord Cen's nearest carriage has been injured a lot." Wei Yuancheng seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile.
Cen Wenwen presided over the affairs of Jingcha, although it was more fair, but since it was Jingcha, there must be someone up and someone down. The people on the top are happy, but the people on the bottom must be dissatisfied in their hearts, which makes Cen Wenwen unlucky, and from time to time someone smashes Cen Wenwen's carriage with a slingshot, although it is harmless, but it can also be seen that Jingcha has touched the interests of some officials.
"I heard that Pei Lin still came to the door?" Du Ruhui obviously knew about this, and suddenly said with some dissatisfaction: "The emperor has already made him a Hanlin bachelor, according to reason, his ability can not be said to be a Hanlin bachelor, even a book office is better than him, he is not satisfied?" Want to be a county magistrate? Can he be the patriarch of the Pei family? ”
"It's impossible for the county duke, in fact, he just wants to be knighted." Wei Yuancheng said indifferently. According to Li Xin's favor to the Pei family, it is impossible for this county prince to reach his head. Pei Lin is so noisy, he just wants a knighthood.
"In two days, the military department will count the number of prisoners in Hanzhong and let him go. You can't just take the money and not work, the court will not support idlers, if you want a title, then make a meritorious service. Du Ruhan said coldly.
"This is an idea, let him go far, the Turks and Tubo people are coming, if Pei Lin makes some trouble at that time, the face of the court will not look good." Wei Yuancheng also agreed.
"Thank you, Lord Du." Cen Wenwen let out a long sigh and said: "It's really hard to move him when he makes trouble, whoever makes him a widow of the Li clan moves him, and the other Li officials are a little frightened." The rabbit died and the fox was so sad, so it would be much easier to drive him away. (To be continued.) )
