Chapter 1065: Leak out and punish your nine clans
Chapter 1065 leaked out to punish your nine clans
Thousands of miles away, Fang Xie didn't know what Nalan Dingdong had done in Eastern Xinjiang, and how unexpected it was. He just chose the right person to go to the right place and then gave him enough freedom and rights. This laissez-faire use is actually a double-edged sword, and choosing the right person will get twice the result with half the effort. If you choose the wrong person, the consequences will only be more serious.
During these days, Fang Xie has been busy with rectifying the soldiers and horses.
Even if Fang Xie is anxious about the chaos in Eastern Xinjiang, there is no way, if he does not contact the threat of the Mengyuan people, Fang Xie will not have the energy or spare strength to send troops to Eastern Xinjiang now.
In the affairs of the court, Fang Xie was basically handed over to Wu Yiyi and Dugu Wenxiu to discuss and deal with, unless it was a major matter that was difficult to decide, the others did not have to be reported. In fact, this is still a laissez-faire use, and others are afraid that they will not dare to do it. When you first enter Chang'an City, if others are Fang Jie, you must pay close attention to everything and do it yourself.
"Except for food, there is a shortage of everything in Chang'an City now."
Dugu Wenxiu sighed: "There is a granary in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of Chang'an City, although Gao Kaitai has not dared to open the city gate for several years, but the consumption of grain is only a drop in the bucket for these four granaries. Even if you don't mobilize grain and grass from other places, only the stored grain in Chang'an City is enough to support the army. ”
"On the side of the military department, the armor equipment is basically gone."
Dugu Wenxiu said: "The minister asked the officials of the household department, in the heyday of the Great Sui, the armor equipment in the household department was enough to equip the 500,000 army, but now, even five hundred sets of leather armor can't be taken out. There are still some feather arrows, and as for the horizontal sword and lance, not even one of them is intact. At the beginning, Emperor Tianyou went west and took away a large number of weapons and armor. Most of the people gathered in the Second Western Expedition were the people, and when they were armed, they almost emptied the inventory of the military department. ”
Later, when Yang Jian led his troops to the expedition, he took some with him. Later, Chang'an City was trapped, and the already empty military treasury could not be replenished. ”
"That's not all."
Chen Xiaoru interjected next to him: "As far as the minister knows, many officials stole and sold a lot of inventory items because they couldn't get it when they were in distress in the city, but these things of the Great Sui military system are not bought indiscriminately, and even if someone buys them, they dare not wear them out blatantly." Therefore, those officials who steal inventory must have a lot of inventory at home, if the lord orders it, the minister will take someone to check it now, and some can still be found out after all. ”
Dugu Wenxiu's face changed, but he didn't speak. He glanced at Chen Xiaoru, and there was something very unusual in his eyes.
"Let's look it up."
Fang explained: "But it is necessary to treat it differently, if it is really difficult to maintain the family, do not hold it responsible, if you just want to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune, although it is dealt with according to the law." Dugu, if you let people leak out, just say that Lone wants to order a thorough investigation of the treasury, and whoever moves something quietly sends it back, Lone should not see it. ”
Dugu Wenxiu hurriedly lowered his head: "The minister understands." ”
"The weapons and armor made by the workshops of the two battalions of our Black Flag Army are still enough, but it is a long way to transport them, especially the workshops in Yunnan Road, and it will take at least four or five months to transport them, so I can't wait. On this expedition, we also had to recruit the people, so we had to send people back to the Suzaku Mountain camp and bring all the inventory of the workshop. ”
"The recruitment of people is already being done, and there are not many people in Chang'an City who have signed up to join the army these days......
Wu Yi glanced at Fang Jie's face: "Everyone knows that this time they are going to a decisive battle with the Mengyuan people, and the people in the city are privately spreading that the Mengyuan people are all people like blue-faced fanged beasts...... There is a lot of talk about this. Besides, the people in Chang'an City have always had a very strange character, that is, ......"
Wu Yiyi sorted out the wording, which seemed to be very difficult to describe: "The people in Chang'an City regard themselves as superior. They all felt that they were the most noble people of the Great Sui, and they lived at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so they were naturally closer to the emperor than people in other places. So they all have a special kind of pride, but...... If you want these people who think they are the most loyal to the Great Sui to join the army to fight the enemy, it is also difficult. At that time, Emperor Tianyou recruited troops in Gyeonggi Province, and more than 100,000 people joined the army in Gyeonggi Province, and less than 1,000 people joined the army in Chang'an City......"
Fang Xie shook his head: "The people in Chang'an City have formed a habit, you are not as noble as me, because I am a high-ranking citizen of the country, but I am going to fight, and the high-ranking people can't go up, so naturally I want to send the low-level to death." Even if such a person is recruited as a soldier, it is not easy to use on the battlefield. There are not many people left in Gyeonggi Province, and the number of recruits is limited. It's better to ...... like this."
Fang Xie thought for a while and said: "Slow down the recruitment in advance, urge the Zhuque Mountain battalion to send all the weapons and armor over, and then start the army on the day, you can't delay, recruit troops along the way in Jiangbei Road, especially to recruit troops along the Yangtze River, the fishermen on the bank of the Yangtze River have good water quality, and they are just used." ”
"Whoa"
Wu Yiyi and the others bowed their heads in response.
"Lord, do you take Song Ziregret too seriously?"
Dugu Wenxiu was silent for a while and then said in a very slow voice: "Just come and let him lead an army alone, although he has led soldiers, but those thousands of people are not comparable to tens of thousands of soldiers, in the final analysis, he is only a civilian official." ”
"You're also a civil servant."
Fang Xie smiled and said, "If you are given 20,000 people to conquer the west, can you go?" ”
Dugu Wenxiu was stunned for a moment: "The minister can go, but the minister is really not sure about meritorious service." ”
"Don't talk about Song's self-repentance."
Fang Xie waved his hand: "Looking back, you will draw up a list of vacant officials in various ministries and yamen of the imperial court, and you will give one to Lone, and Lone will give you a standard, three sevens...... Thirty percent are selected from the local government, and the best ones are selected, and seventy percent are selected from the Black Flag Army. ”
"Whoa"
Dugu Wenxiu hurriedly lowered his head.
Fang Xie glanced at Wu Yiyi: "Hou Ye will also select a group of people to come up from the world when he goes back to the world, and now there is a great shortage of people in the court, and some yamen are completely empty." In particular, there are many accounts to be checked in the household department, and some of the people in the world can be called, and they will fill an official position in each ministry when they turn around. ”
"Whoa"
Wu Yiyi also responded, and when he got up, he glanced at Dugu Wenxiu, intentionally or unintentionally. The eyes of the two crossed for a moment, and Dugu quickly avoided it.
……
……
Chen Xiaoru seems to have always had something to say, but he wants to stop talking.
It wasn't until Fang Xie returned to the wind and rain building in Changchun Garden that Chen Xiaoru caught up from behind: "Lord, the minister has something to say, but I am afraid that the lord will think that the minister deliberately embarrassed him, so he endured it until now." ”
"If there's a fart, let it go."
Fang Xie scolded as he walked, and then when he went upstairs, he took two fruits from the plate of the coffee table in the living room, threw them back, and threw one to Chen Xiaoru. Chen Xiaoru stretched out his hand to take it and felt warm in his heart, after so many years, the lord was still like this to him, and he was naturally a little moved in his heart.
Fang Xie nibbled a pear and went up to the third floor, and then left himself in the recliner: "Talking to those courtiers for a while is more tiring than marching three hundred miles." Those individuals are cunning, and on the surface they seem to be loyal and humble, and if anyone believes their superficial articles, they will be swallowed up sooner or later. ”
Chen Xiaoru smiled: "I can't hide anything from the eyes of the lord......"
"What's the matter?"
Fang explained: "If you don't say anything, get out." ”
Chen Xiaoru hurriedly said: "The minister has only recently found out some things about Lord Dugu, but most of them are talking about chasing wind and shadows, and they have no practical value, so the minister has not been able to make up his mind whether to report to you." said, because there is no conclusive evidence, it really shouldn't be played like this, and it seems that the minister is targeting Lord Dugu. If you don't say it, I'm afraid it's true, and it's not good for the lord. ”
"You are not guilty."
Fang Xie waved his hand.
Chen Xiaoru lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Lord Gong...... The minister heard that Lord Dugu was in charge of court affairs, especially the vacant official positions in various ministries and offices are now so many, and many people are staring at it. Since a few days ago, Lord Dugu's family has often seen guests at night, and most of the people he sees are from families in Chang'an City. ”
He glanced up at Fang Jie's face and saw that Fang Xie was not displeased, so he continued: "There is a list of people who enter and leave Lord Dugu's mansion. ”
He took out a folded piece of paper from his cuff and held it in both hands and handed it to Fang Jie: "The minister also found out that not long after entering Chang'an City, Lord Dugu sent someone back to the camp of Zhuque Mountain and picked up her mother, but she did not live together, but placed in the post station, and lived in the mansion and the old mother lived in the post station, which seems to be a little inappropriate." ”
Fang Xie sat up from the recliner and patted his head: "I forgot, the original university scholar Qin Anli's house where Dugu lives now, because all the things have to be done, and the court room outside the Taiji Palace is too small, Qin Anli's house is the closest to the Taiji Palace, so he lives there, this matter has been reported, but I forgot...... Kizo! ”
Fang Xie shouted, and the little eunuch Mu San hurriedly trotted over from not far away.
"Go and tell Dugu Wenxiu, the house will be given to him, and quickly pick up the old lady from the post station."
"Yo, that's a great blessing."
Mu San smiled: "Can the slave ask Lord Dugu for a reward." ”
"Yes."
Fang Xie smiled and said, "He dares to give it to you, what don't you dare to take." ”
Mu San shook his head repeatedly: "Forget it...... The slave didn't have that guts. ”
Chen Xiaoru's face was a little unsightly, although he didn't make up these things to frame Dugu Wenxiu, but he did look down on Dugu Wenxiu a little, one is that Dugu Wenxiu is too powerful now, and he has said bad things about Xiao Riding School in front of Fang Xie more than once, and even tried to persuade Fang Xie to reduce the functions of Xiao Riding School. The second is because he really thinks that a person like Dugu, who is reused by Fang Jie, should not be selfish.
"Chen Xiaoru, do you know why Dugu let his mother live in the post station?"
Fang asked.
Chen Xiaoru shook his head: "I don't know ......"
Fang explained: "Qin Anli's house is not his, he lives there temporarily, and he exercises the duties of the imperial court, if he takes the old lady to live, it is to give people a handle." It was a yamen, not his private residence. Have you ever thought about it, is Dugu looking forward to someone participating in his book of unfilial piety? ”
Chen Xiaoru's face changed suddenly.
Oh, yes...... Dugu Wenxiu should be happy for someone to participate in his unfilial piety, and the matter of placing the old lady in the post station can be said to be Dugu Wenxiu's unfilial piety on the one hand, and on the other hand, doesn't it mean that he Dugu Wenxiu has a clear distinction between public and private?
"Let's go"
Fang Xie waved his hand: "Although your mind is meticulous, when it comes to doing things thoroughly, Dugu is still a little better than you." With so many people coming in and out of his dwelling, isn't he afraid that others will find out? Others have seen that there may be cats, so you think there must be cats, and then go to check, check and find that there is nothing greasy...... How do you end up? ”
Fang Jie's tone suddenly coldened: "Within three years, I don't want to see someone participate in Dugu Wenxiu's excerpts and participate in his words." I didn't let you run the school because you were stupid, and I didn't give you so much power because you were stupid, so don't let me think you're stupid anymore. ”
Chen Xiaoru didn't know why Fang Xie changed his face, but he knew that Fang Xie was really angry this time.
"You remember it for me, if today's conversation spreads, I will punish you nine clans."
Fang Xie said coldly, and then kicked Chen Xiaoru's buttocks: "Get out and do something." ”
