The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and no one dared to play according to the facts.

Li Longji was already quite experienced in dealing with natural disasters, and he thought that this time was no different from previous years, so he took out 1 million stones of Taicang rice and sold them at low prices in ten places to relieve the victims and balance prices. He was worried about whether this year's crops had not yet been harvested and whether they would be affected, so he received a box of rice ears that were growing well from Yang Guozhong.

"Although there is a lot of rain, it is not enough to affect the farmers, so the saint can rest assured." At this time, in the diligent government affairs building, it was rare that the permanent staff officers were there, and Yang Guozhong picked out the fullest one in the box and handed it to Li Longji, "But because of this, the people say that such a natural disaster is because the prime minister is not virtuous." The minister did not dare to be virtuous, and it was also chosen by the saint himself. It doesn't matter if the ministers are wronged, but they are not convinced by the people's questioning of the sage's vision. ”

Li Longji took the rice ear and glanced at Yang Guozhong with a smile while playing: "What is this, when I was just a few years old as the emperor, I caught up with a strange locust plague, and some people said at that time that the Son of Heaven was not virtuous, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

"After all, the saint is a Ming monarch, and he has always attached importance to the people's hearts, and the ministers don't want the saint to be embarrassed, so it's better to ...... The saint dismissed the ministers, which can be regarded as a consolation to the people of the world. ”

How could Li Longji not hear Yang Guozhong's true intentions? He chuckled and said, "You are not the only prime minister, how do you know that the people are talking about you?" If the court had to say something, it wouldn't be your turn. ”

Everyone in the hall turned their eyes to Chen Xilie, the left minister, at the same time.

Chen Xilie has been idle since he became the left minister, and he can't intervene in government affairs, so he can only sign his name after Li Linfu's resolution. When Li Linfu was at the height of his power, he moved all his official affairs back to his private house to do it, and Chen Xilie sat alone under the door of Zhongshu, and no one cared about him for half a day and half a day. It wasn't until Yang Guozhong became the right minister that he had a chance to speak, but he didn't think that it would take long for the left minister to come to an end.

After Chen Xilie took the initiative to resign from the phase, Yang Guozhong promoted Wei Jiansu, a gentle-tempered minister, to the left minister. Wei Jiansu was originally a squire of the Ministry of Culture, and after the Ministry of Culture was under Yang Guozhong, and after becoming the left minister, he could not pose any threat.

Soon after, the rebel general Absi was captured and sacrificed by the Beiting Metropolitan Guard, and beheaded on Suzaku Street in Chang'an to show the public, which greatly boosted his heart.

Li Longji finally came up with this breath, gave a banquet to the ministers, rewarded countless silk satin and colorful silk, and the monarch and the ministers were extremely happy and stopped the banquet.

After the banquet, Li Longji overlooked Chang'an from the Calyx Xianghui Tower: "I am old now, there will be a prince in the future of the Tang Dynasty, a prime minister in the DPRK and China, and a general in the border war, so why worry about the husband?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan has always stood by Li Longji's side: "Jiannan has been defeated repeatedly, the border generals have too many troops, and everyone has no way to prevent it. ”

Li Longji smiled and sighed: "You, you are always so disappointed. ”

"You can ignore the right minister and deceive the king, but you won't not see this lewd rain, right?"

At the beginning of Li Longji's succession to the throne, he practiced the gift of pro-farming, and took himself as an example to encourage the people of the world to farm. He was not ignorant of Nongsang, so he naturally knew what kind of disaster such a continuous heavy rain could cause. Now that I think about it, the ears of rice that Yang Guozhong offered are likely to be the most likely to survive this year.

If it was Li Longji in the past, he would be furious, and then deal with Yang Guozhong fiercely, but at this time, he just said: "What else do you want to say?" ”

"Since everyone used their power to fake the prime minister, rewards and punishments were disorderly, and yin and yang were out of balance, the minister had nothing to dare to say."

Li Longji was silent for a long time, and said: "You and I are old, I don't know how many days are left, I just want to spend it in peace." And you've worked all your life, it's time to rest. As for those things...... Leave it to the prince for later. ”

Li Longji looked at Chang'an, and Xiao Jiangyuan looked at him.

He is clearly strong and upright, energetic, and his hair is mostly black, and even his beard is not too mottled.

"Ah Yuan...... Do you regret it? Li Longji asked suddenly.

"So far, no one has ever remembered to ask this?"

"I was just a little scared all of a sudden. The kings of the past generations were called lonely and widowed, whether it was a lover or a courtier, there were too few people who could accompany each other for a lifetime...... I don't want that. Li Longji turned his head to look at Xiao Jiangyuan, "As long as I have you, I am not like this." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan did not lower his eyes politely this time, but met Li Longji's burning gaze: "Don't worry, everyone." In any case, the minister will always accompany everyone. ”

For so many years, she has always believed that love is often only temporary, and once it is transferred, it will be gone, but true loyalty can last a lifetime and will never be replaced. She has already injected all her love for Li Longji into her loyalty, and she has bound each other with monarchs and ministers, and it will be her life from now on.

This is her infatuation.

Jiannan finally stabilized, and the heavy rain gradually stopped, but the lack of food among the people was a foregone conclusion, and even many children of the nobles who did not need to pay taxes had people starving to death in their families, such as Du Fu, who was quite famous among the people, and what kind of situation the people at the bottom were like, you can imagine.

Yang Guozhong covered the sky with one hand, concealed all related matters to the death, and at the same time excluded dissidents without mercy. He never let Ji Wen go, especially after Ji Wen became a squire of the military department, and concurrently served as the deputy envoy of the idle stable and the herd of Longyou. He quickly caught Ji Wen's mistake and belittled Ji Wen to Li Yang Changshi Li Yang Taishou was once persecuted by Ji Wen.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. Under the extreme wealth and decay, the fourteenth cultivation of Tianbao quietly arrived.

In February of the 14th year of Tianbao, An Lushan invited Li Longji to replace the original Han generals with 32 brave and warlike generals under him.

Before Li Longji could agree, he was opposed by Yang Guozhong and Wei Jiansu.

"You're going to say he wants to rebel again?" Li Longji sighed, "Since he returned to Fanyang, what happened to the people who mentioned this matter, do you remember?" ”

Those people were all tied up by Li Longji and sent directly to An Lushan.

Yang Guozhong and Wei Jiansu both looked at Xiao Jiangyuan, and then saw Xiao Jiangyuan and said: "Don't you think that General An's request to replace the Han general this time is doubtful?" ”

"How can I doubt it?" Li Longji asked rhetorically, "In the past few years, how many times have you talked back and forth about this matter?" Before, you said that he would enter Beijing, and it would be interesting to see if he dared to come, but I announced it, and others also came, what do you want? Do you think it's so easy to trust this thing, especially between kings and ministers? It's easy to disintegrate, and often a discordant meter is enough. An Lushan has stabilized the Northeast for many years, made great achievements, and left his eldest son An Qingzong in Chang'an, what else can he do to make you believe? I've already suspected him once, if it really chills his heart, aren't you afraid, he won't rebel? ”

Li Longji finally agreed to An Lushan's request, and listened to Yang Guozhong: "Since the sage trusts General An, he thinks that he has no objection, and the minister is willing to invite General An to enter the court as the prime minister." ”

Wei Jiansu also said: "General An has lived in the bitter cold land on the border for many years, and led troops to fight, after all, it hurts his body, the saint is really serious, and likes to see him, why don't you let him come to Chang'an to raise him." The three deputy envoys of Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong may not have been promoted for a long time, and our Datang is not the only good general of General An. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan thought for a moment and added: "The corresponding constraints are sometimes not precautions, but a kind of protection. ”

"You can't use the same trick once, and you want to use it a second time?" Li Longji raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Whether he comes or not, you all have something to say, this time I won't act rashly like last time." ”

Li Longji did not stop Yang Guozhong and others from drafting a book to worship An Lushan, but he kept it down, and at the same time sent the eunuch Fu Lin, who had always been responsible for running errands, to Fanyang, and asked him to explore the reality of An Lushan first.

Fu Lin quickly rushed back, and just about to enter the Huaqing Palace, he saw Li Fuguo, who he hadn't seen for a long time, at the gate of the palace.

"The apprentice has seen the master." Fu Lin hurriedly saluted.

Li Fuguo was wearing a scarlet robe at this time, and because he was getting older, he looked much calmer: "The road is far away, and I have worked hard for you." ”

What is the ...... Didn't the saint say to him? Fu Lin muttered in her heart, but she didn't dare to show anything on her face: "Master Xie cares." ”

"The result?"

Fu Lin's brows furrowed when she heard this. After thinking about it, he invited Li Fuguo to the place where he carried the person, and his face was embarrassed: "An Lushan really wants to rebel!" ”

Li Fuguo was not surprised by Xiao Jiangyuan's judgment, except for Li Longji, he never questioned it.

He was surprised by Fu Lin's attitude: "But you don't intend to tell the saint the truth. ”

Fu Lin took out a heavy cloth bag from the cage he was carrying and presented it to Li Fuguo: "This is for the apprentice to honor the master." ”

Li Fuguo opened it and saw that it was full of gold: "You are well-behaved and clever." ”

"It's all taught well by the master." Fu Lin said respectfully, "Please also ask the master to give me some advice, is it okay for an apprentice or not?" ”

"You're dragging me into the water......" Li Fuguo accepted the cloth bag and smiled slightly, "You can do whatever you want, I haven't heard anything, and I won't let the prince know." ”

Hearing Fu Lin say that An Lushan was "loyal to the country and has no two hearts", Li Longji said: "Are you satisfied now?" ”

Wei Jiansu, who has always been gentle, has nothing to say, but Yang Guozhong is unwilling. On the surface, he showed a look of admitting his mistake, suggested that Li Longji send a messenger to preach comfort and appease An Lushan, and personally selected a batch of rich rewards. Li Longji did not refuse this time, but he didn't expect it, but after two months, the result became a sentence of "no revenge courtesy".

Li Longji thought that Yang Guozhong did it on purpose, and he didn't believe it at all.

Yang Guozhong did not stop doing anything, and ordered Jing Zhaoyin to send troops to surround An Lushan's mansion in Chang'an, and sent all An Lushan's disciples to the Yushitai for interrogation. He thought that even if he couldn't find evidence, he would always be able to find out something, but he didn't expect those doormen to really know nothing. Yang Guozhong was so angry that he directly executed those disciples in secret.

Just when everything was at an impasse, Li Fuguo accused Fu Lin of accepting bribes from An Lushan, and there was a bag of gold as proof.
