Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.inforeadx;? Shangguan Xiu walked to the bed, looked at Tang Ling who was lying on the bed, coughing non-stop, reached out to sit her up, gently patted her back, and at the same time took a cup of chrysanthemum tea from the palace maid's hand and handed it to Tang Ling's mouth.

Tang Ling drank half a cup of tea, Fang suppressed the cough, she looked at Shangguan Xiu who was sitting beside her, raised her hand in a daze, gently stroked his cheek, and said in a weak voice: "Ah Xiu, you are finally back,"

She thought he wouldn't come to see her again,

"Well," Shangguan Xiu replied softly, and said softly, "I'm here," Xiang'er doesn't have to worry about anything,

"You...... Did you see her," a dark flash flashed in Tang Ling's eyes, she asked Tang Wanyun, now, Tang Wanyun has become a thorn in her heart, thinking about it, Shangguan Xiu already knows everything, she is not sure if he will forgive herself,

Shangguan Xiu misunderstood Tang Ling's words, thinking that she was asking Gu Qingling, he said: "Yuzhen has become a lonely city, unable to resist the main force of the rebels, after the rebels break the city, they will never let Qingling go, so I brought her back to Zhenjun this time,"

Tang Ling sighed, didn't understand why Shangguan Xiu didn't mention Tang Wanyun, and mentioned Gu Qingling for no reason, she followed his words and said softly: "Miss Gu is helpless, and it is only natural for Ah Xiu to take her back to Zhenjun for refuge,"

Shangguan Xiu smiled and said softly, "Thank you," what he thanked was that Tang Ling was willing to help Gu Qingling when he was in danger, if Tang Ling hadn't lent a helping hand at that time, Qingling would have turned into a wisp of grievance with the hundreds of people in the Gu family.

Tang Ling thought that Shangguan Xiu thanked her, it was because she did not prevent Gu Qingling from coming to Zhenjun, she smiled bitterly and shook her head, in the matter of Tang Wanyun, she felt that she really owed Shangguan Xiu, and in terms of Gu Qingling, she chose to back down,

She said: "After Ah Xiu, you can take more care of Miss Gu,"

Being able to hear from Tang Ling's mouth that he asked him to take care of another woman made Shangguan Xiu quite surprised, I don't know why he suddenly changed so much, he looked at her puzzled,

Tang Ling was about to speak, but couldn't help coughing again, Shangguan Xiu patted her jade back a few more times, and when she stopped coughing, he changed his words and asked, "Xiang'er is worried about Tang Yu's claim to be emperor,"

Tang Ling, who was coughing and his face turned red, nodded slowly, and Shangguan Xiu said disapprenously: "It's not a matter of worry,"

Tang Ling frowned and said, "What I'm most worried about now is the millions of soldiers on the front line,"

"The families of high-ranking generals of the Central Army have all been settled in Xijing,"

"What I'm worried about is not the morale of the army, but the supply of our army," Feng County, Mo County, An County, Sichuan County, the four richest eastern counties of the Feng Country have all fallen into the hands of the rebels, and now only rely on Zhen County, Huan County, Yu County, and Ning County, where can they support the operation of more than one million central troops, just grain and grass is a big problem that is difficult to solve,

Zhen County and Huan County, most of the territory is barren land, can not produce food, the real can produce grain, that is, Yu County and Ning County, and Ning County has been baptized by war and floods, all kinds of waste to be rebuilt, not only can not help, but it is still a big burden, only relying on the land of Yu County, to supply nearly two million central army of food, that is too unrealistic,

The food supply of the central army is insufficient, and the next situation will inevitably be a rout on the whole front, when there will be a foreign enemy in Ningnan in the west, a civil strife rebel army in the east, and a scheming Besa in the north, he will be attacked on three sides, and he is in danger, Tang Ling, as the emperor, can not understand his own difficult situation anymore, how can she not worry?

Shangguan Xiu smiled lightly and said, " Xiang'er although rest assured, since I said that the rebels are not to worry, naturally there is full certainty, on the occasion of the national war, the rebels rebel rebellion, and unpopular, if the central army in the front line to achieve a few more victories, Xiang'er will become the people's desire, and also, our country is not peaceful, Ningnan's country is not like this, the puppet emperor's eldest grandson Huaide has long passed away, but the throne has not been inherited for a long time, the battle between Huang Ziyuan and Huang Zihao has reached a fever pitch, as for the country of Besa, it is even more internal and external troubles, and the Besa court is only struggling to support it with the support of the Holy See, ”

As the so-called words are happy locks, after listening to Shangguan Xiu's analysis, Tang Ling's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that the mountain that had been pressing on his heart for several days suddenly lightened a lot.

But if you think about it carefully, what Shangguan Xiu said is actually empty words, and he did not mention effective ways to solve the problem.

Without waiting for Tang Ling to answer, he said again: "There have been too many things to worry about recently, Xijing is not far from Shahe, recently, I plan to take Xiang'er to Shah to have a visit,"

Tang Ling wondered if his ears had heard it wrong, at this time, the rebels had occupied the city, Tang Yu was proclaimed emperor in Shangjing, and Ah Xiu even wanted to take himself to Shah to play.

She was angry and funny, and said dissatisfiedly: "Ah Xiu, I'm not in the mood to listen to you laugh now......

"It's not a joke, I'm really planning to take Xiang'er to Shah for a visit, now in late autumn, it is the driest and hottest time in Xijing, Xiang'er has just arrived, where can the body stand it, and Shah is different, fresh and cool, it is a good place to escape the heat, and the scenery is beautiful, the scenery is pleasant, if you don't take this opportunity to go to Shah to have a good time, Xiang'er will definitely regret it in the future," Shangguan Xiu said with a smile,

Tang Ling sighed helplessly, his mind turned, and he suddenly grabbed Shangguan Xiu's hand and asked nervously: "Ah Xiu, do you think that we can't even hold the four western counties, so we can only retreat to the Shah region with many mountains and forests?"

Shangguan Xiu was stunned, then burst out laughing, gently patted Tang Ling's little hand, and said: "Xiang'er thinks too much, I don't dare to promise Xiang'er anything else, but Zhenjun is solid, and if the rebels don't come, it's just that, as long as the rebels dare to step into Zhenjun, I will let him have no return,"

Hearing Shangguan Xiu's assurance, Tang Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile: "Ah Xiu is so confident,"

Shangguan Xiu nodded with a smile, not to mention that he was only dealing with the rebels who occupied the land of the four counties, even if Zhenjun was competing with the entire Wind Country, Shangguan Xiu was confident, he had also made plans in Zhenjun back then, of course, he couldn't say this to Tang Ling,

I don't know if it is the confidence that Shangguan Xiu's return has brought to Tang Ling, her sick body has suddenly improved a lot, she said bitterly: "During this time, I have not been to the court, presumably the situation in the court is also very chaotic,"

Shangguan Xiu reminded: "The ministers who can follow Xiang'er to Xijing are all loyal ministers who are loyal to Xiang'er," since this is the case, there is no need to be afraid to face them, and there is no need to worry about their defection,

Tang Ling understood what Shangguan Xiu meant, nodded slowly, and said, "Song Sheng is dead, for the position of Minister of Internal History, I haven't thought of a suitable candidate yet,"

The predecessor of the Minister of Internal History was the Imperial History Doctor, who helped the emperor supervise the civil and military officials, to put it bluntly, the Minister of Internal History is the head of the officials, and the person who is suitable for the Minister of Internal History must first be upright, and secondly, he must dare to speak out.

Shangguan Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "I thought that Lord Han was a good candidate,"

"Han Ye,"

Shangguan Xiu nodded, Han Ye is a person, not very gregarious, and he is not very close to any faction in the court, and he is precisely Tang Ling's confidant, many words dare to say to Tang Ling, Han Ye will be the minister of internal history, Shangguan Xiu feels that it is very suitable, and he recommends Han Ye for another purpose,

"It turns out that Ah Xiu likes him......" Tang Ling muttered, his face changing,

Not understanding why Tang Ling showed such a reaction, Shangguan Xiu asked curiously, "Xiang'er has sent Lord Han to carry out the mission,"

"Why did Ah Xiu ask like that?"

"I haven't seen Lord Han since I arrived in Xijing,"

Just now, among the ministers who greeted him outside the city, he didn't see Han Ye, and even Cai Xiao, who was incompatible with him, had to be patient and come out to show his face, Han Ye was not present, and he couldn't say anything,

"Han Ye, I put him in prison, and I will ask him to be beheaded one day," Tang Ling said slowly,

"Ah," Shangguan Xiu raised her eyebrows, Xiang'er wanted to kill Han Ye, this was too surprising,

Han Ye can be regarded as the henchman of Tang Ling's side, as early as when Tang Ling was the eldest princess, Han Ye was her closest staff, killing Han Ye is not equivalent to cutting off her arm,

"Why is that?"

"After I broke through, I saw that Ah Xiu was still trapped in the city, so I wanted to lead the army to rescue him, but Han Ye rebelled and actually knocked me unconscious on the spot, so bold, shouldn't he be killed," Thinking of this, Tang Ling's face immediately became gloomy,

After Shangguan Xiu heard this, instead of being annoyed, he also laughed, Han Ye's loyalty to Xiang'er really reached the point of ignoring himself, he would rather commit a capital crime than make sure that Xiang'er did not make a mistake,

He didn't comment much on Han Ye's approach, and only said lightly: "If I were Han Ye, in that situation at that time, I would have made exactly the same choice as him,"

Tang Ling asked, "Ah Xiu is not angry with him,"

Shangguan Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's a wise move to lose the pawn and protect the car,"

Tang Ling pursed his lips and muttered, "It seems that Ah Xiu has made up his mind to recommend Han Ye as the Minister of Internal History,"

"Yes,"

"However, the Minister of Internal History is a good person, and Han Ye's title is not enough to make him a first-class member, could it be that this time he knocked me out, not only will I not punish him, but I will also give him an official rank and a knighthood,"

This is the reason why Shangguan Xiu promoted Han Ye, according to the current law of the Wind Country, the official rank is linked to the title, how high the title you have, how big the official is, if the grade of this official position is greater than your title, even if you are capable and competent, then, you will have no chance with this official position.

Recommending Han Ye as the Minister of Internal History is tantamount to breaking the current laws of the Wind Country, which is also the first step in Shangguan Xiu's internal affairs reform.

Shangguan Xiu said: "Tang Yu and Tang Cheng rebelled, even if they were unpopular with the people, they were still supported by so many ordinary people, why, it was because the new law implemented by Tang Yu abolished the aristocratic system and implemented the principle of meritocracy, Tang Yu can get strong support from the common people through the new law, why can't we, if Xiang'er wants to compete with Tang Yu and completely eliminate the rebels, we should learn from each other's strengths,"

Tang Ling understood it at a glance, and finally understood why Shangguan Xiu strongly recommended Han Ye, speaking of which, he also pursued the principles of Shura Hall, wanting to eliminate the aristocratic class, Tang Ling's eyes darkened, and said: "If the aristocracy is still abolished, then what about the emperor and the imperial family," is it still far from being abolished?

Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "Xiang'er, don't forget, the Holy Ancestor Emperor once mentioned in his testament that the smaller the monarch's power, the more stable the position will be, I think the Holy Ancestor Emperor's testament is reasonable,"

Not only reasonable, but also the general trend, as long as the people's wisdom is opened, the monarch's power is gradually weakened that is inevitable, if the monarch clings to the monarchy and does not let go, it will only cause a riot from the bottom up, and the monarch will eventually be pushed to the guillotine,

Only if the monarch himself takes the initiative to delegate power, will he get the support of the people, as long as there is the support of the people, the monarch will never be abolished, Shangguan Xiu, who has seen the evolution of the times in the illusion, is very clear about this,

The current rebellion of the rebels is a good opportunity for him to carry out drastic reforms of the current system of the Wind Country.
