Chapter 127: The Edict (1)

Li Zhongyan was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he said:

"Everyone, don't scare the old slave. You have a long life, and the old slave still wants to serve you for a hundred years. ”

If it is said that Li Zhongyan is selfish, it is true, but if it is about feelings, Li Zhongyan is really intimate and close to Li Yu. And Li Yu was also accustomed to Li Zhongyan's service, and gradually regarded Li Zhongyan as a part of himself, at this time, seeing Li Zhongyan panicked, Li Yu couldn't bear to scare him, and scolded with a smile:

"Scared like this, do you really think I'm dead? I still want to live a long life. ”

Li Zhongyan came back to his senses at this time, wiped his nose, and said:

"Everyone, what kind of edict are you writing now? Scared the old slave to death. ”

Li Chanted:

"Don't worry about it, hurry up and sharpen the ink."

But with the pen in hand, Li Yu didn't know what to write. If he really wants to arrange his aftermath now, he really doesn't understand what else he has to explain besides his temple number. After thinking about it, in addition to writing down the content about the temple number, Li Yu only wrote down two place names on paper:

Anxi, North Courtyard.

That is the westernmost land of the Tang Dynasty. As for the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms further west, Li Yu didn't have the heart to think about it yet.

Seeing that Li Yu put down the pen, Li Zhongyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked forward to Li Yu to stop and not write. Li Yu stood in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. Li Zhongyan said softly:

"Everyone!"

Li Yu came back to his senses, crossed out "Anxi" and "Beiting", and said:

"Don't bother the two masters, this matter should be left to me to solve."

Li Zhongyan's heart was completely relaxed. Fan Xichao and Du You passed away one after another, which made Li Yu a little depressed. Now seeing that Li Yu has regained some fighting spirit, Li Zhongyan feels that Li Yu has driven away depression. Li Zhongyan also knows that desire makes people young.

Li Yu picked up the paper, crumpled it into a ball, threw it away, and said:

"Go, spread the word to Lu Yuanying and Li Yu, and go to Xingqing Palace tomorrow afternoon to see me."

After Li Zhongyan took the order, Li Yu couldn't help but have a distinctive face in front of him, and muttered:

"Li Xiaozhong, this kid, how is it now?"

At this time, Li Xiaozhong was doing his tea and silk business in Damascus, thousands of miles away. Of course, the capital of this business comes from the Department of Grain and Straw Statistics, and Li Xiaozhong's ostensible identity is that he is a deacon of a merchant who came to Damascus from the East to take care of the business in Damascus and even in the whole of Black Food. Secretly, he is one of the two lieutenants of Xi Cao, the newly established Xi Cao of the Grain Statistics Department, and is in charge of the intelligence network of the entire black-clothed food of the Tang Dynasty. Usually walking on the streets of Damascus, Li Xiaozhong always looks humble and cautious, but no one knows that this seemingly inconspicuous person can gather hundreds of masters in an instant, and a sheepskin full of symbols can kill countless people.

"The main thing to guard against next year is the counterattack of Tubo against the west of the Longyou River, with a Qilian Mountain and Tanggula in the middle, the Tubo people suffered such a big loss at once, lost so many army people, and the pressure on their domestic Zampu and Bo Xianbu is extremely great, I am afraid that the elite of Wuru will be mobilized to take revenge, you can send a message to Hao Xuan, let him concentrate his superior forces, fight a few battles fiercely, let him beat the Tubo people, dare not easily move the sword soldiers, give Longyou three to five years of reconstruction time, and also give Tubo time to prepare for some civil strife."

Reclining on the couch, covered with fur fur, Li Yu said a little lazily. The weather has been cold in the past few days, and Li Yu is a little uncomfortable, but he has not abandoned state affairs because of this, and is still dealing with state affairs while he is sick. Li Chun, Pei Tuzi, Li Jiang, Pei Du, Cheng Yi, Li Yuan, and more than 20 people from the Eight Books and Shilang sat around Li Yu and listened to Li Yu's decision.

Hao Jue and Wei Zhiyi have done a lot of things in Longyou, but their thinking needs to be adjusted again, and they ordered Wang Maoyuan to temporarily act as the envoy of Longyou, Li Zongmin to temporarily act as the civil ambassador of Longyou, and Hao Ling and Wei Zhiyi to return to Beijing to report on their work. On the Hexi side, Cui Chengdu was temporarily appointed as the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, Bai Juyi was temporarily the civil affairs ambassador, and Li Guangyan and Li Jingjian returned to Beijing to report on their work. ”

"Give Shi Jing an edict, let him always be careful about the situation in the northwest court, and prepare to recover Yizhou. The household department should prepare enough money and food. ”

What Li Yu is planning is definitely a big deal. However, because this plan was too big, he also had some doubts about whether he could complete this plan, so he ordered the prince to participate in and lead the plan.

"Let me lay the foundation, and let the prince finish the show."

Li Yu said.

Compared with foreign wars, what worries Li Yu more is internal affairs. The theory about butterflies is too lazy to repeat, but the chain reaction is indeed expanding. In the past ten years, the prosperity of commerce has made more than one step, and Li Yu has left the palace several times in micro-suits, and he feels that the current Chang'an is quite a bit of the description of Bianjing in the Song Dynasty. After people have money in their hands, they will always think about other things, for example, businessmen, with the support of the imperial court, finally found that they were also an important part of the Tang Dynasty, and their enthusiasm for participating in politics suddenly rose. At first, the businessmen thought of washing their families by donating officials and knights, but slowly the businessmen found that the princes had made such a great contribution to the Tang Dynasty, and they should have been white, so should they still need to wash it? So the businessmen began their own efforts, and in the past three years of the economic banquet, it is obvious that the voice of the businessmen is getting stronger and stronger.

And the family, which originally occupied an absolutely strong position, also felt the existence of the crisis, and the merchants who were originally respectful in front of the family, and even had to rely on the family to straighten their waists, which was simply unimaginable for the family for hundreds of years. The original order was as orderly as the sun, moon and stars, but now, at some unknown time, there has been an inexplicable change.

Don't say that the family has such a feeling, that is, Li Yu's court, although two more have been added, it also feels difficult to operate. Li Yu felt that if these problems were not dealt with properly, then the rift that had already appeared would become bigger and bigger, and it would eventually subvert the empire.

Should these problems be solved by ourselves, or should they be put in the edict for future generations to solve?
