It was already the end of November when Li Siye returned from inspecting several cities in Tingzhou, and the collection of commercial taxes in Tingzhou was proceeding in an orderly manner, and the local people had achieved initial results in cultivating wasteland and cultivating land. If you make up too much, some people will abandon the newly cultivated fields in order to earn subsidy money, and if you make up too little, it will not be enough to make people happy. Therefore, after discussion, Li Siye decided to give the local people a subsidy of 16 yuan per mu of land, and at the same time provide seeds for the first planting.

No one cultivated the land specifically for the sixteen dollars, but they valued the seeds provided by the Metropolitan Protectorate and the rent waived for the first year.

Li Siye entered the main hall of the Jiedu Envoy's mansion, and the secretary Cen Shen hurriedly came to see him. The two men discussed some of the current policy omissions.

Cen Shen looked around, lowered his voice and said, "There is a matter that my subordinates don't know whether to say or not. ”

"But it doesn't hurt for you to say it."

"Some time ago, Pang Yue came back with your order letter to deliver it to me, and he went home halfway for a long time. However, when an official document is delivered, it must not be transferred halfway, so as to avoid suspicion of theft or tampering with the official document. Pang Yue, as an official, would not fail to understand this rule, so his subordinates suspected him......"

Li Siye asked indifferently: "Do you still have that letter?" ”

"Keep it," Cen Shen nodded, took out the paper from his sleeve, Li Siye reached out and took it, only opened it and glanced at it, and he praised it in his heart and copied it quite similarly, he folded the paper in two folds and stuffed it into his cuffs.

"Judge Pang is vulgar and not careful enough, so he has such a mistake, so don't worry about him."

"But ......" Cen Shen smacked in his heart, this was definitely not a mistake, but intentional.

Li Siye raised his hand to stop his words: "You don't have to pay attention to this person, he has a bit of a backstage, and he came to our North Court completely with mixed qualifications, I'm afraid it won't be long before he will be transferred back to Chang'an to enjoy happiness." ”

Cen Shen realized in his heart, so he stopped asking about these things. Li Siye stood up with his knees, waved his hand to Cen Shen and said, "There's nothing to do here, you go back and rest." ”

After Cen Shen retired, Li Siye also returned to the study in the inner courtyard, sat in front of the desk and opened the booklet folded on it.

This is a copy of the newspaper sent by Anxiliu's backyard, which is a summary of the major events in the DPRK and China in the past few months, which will help them understand the situation in the Qing Dynasty and make some decision-making adjustments.

Tianbao's six years is a watershed in the early and late stages of Tianbao, because many things have happened this year, and the personnel changes caused by these things are destined to break out of Tianbao's fourteen-year Anshi Rebellion.

The prince was framed twice, not to mention, but the number of officials who were unjustly killed is not counted, and the names of Jiwen and Luo Xizao are famous all over the world, and the local officials tremble when they hear it, so they call it Ji Net. The crown prince seems to be in a precarious position, but in fact there is nothing wrong.

Because the emperor's heart is very contradictory, the position of the crown prince must be there, otherwise he will leave the west in the future, and the brotherly strife will cause the foreign generals to enter the court for fear of losing the country. But the existence of the prince made him worry in his heart, afraid that this kid would take advantage of his old age to make a dangerous move, after all, Li Heng is not young anymore, and he has white hair on his head last time, who doesn't want to ascend to the throne early.

He was unwilling to replace the prince according to Li Linfu's idea, because the world was as black as a crow, and the son of the Li family was virtuous, and he was not as honest as Li Heng if he changed one. If Li Linfu's wish is fulfilled, the prime minister and the new prince collude, will there still be his emperor's head?

This is really a difficult knot to untie, and anyone who gets entangled in this knot will inevitably die, even Wang Zhonghei.

He turned the page in April, which recorded that An Lushan built a Xiongwu city in Hebei and forged weapons in the city, saying that he wanted to increase his strength to defend the Khitan. He also wrote a letter inviting Wang Zhongsi to send troops to jointly conduct military exercises, and to beat up the Khitan and Xi tribes, in fact, he wanted to keep Wang Zhongsi's soldiers for his own use.

But he never expected that Wang Zhongsi would personally lead the troops to come, and now An Lushan was instigated, so naturally he no longer mentioned the exercise. Wang Zhongsi ran away empty-handed, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, feeling that this Hu'er wanted to intercept his own soldiers for his use, so he wrote an impeachment note and sent it to Chang'an, stating that An Lushan had malicious intentions and intended to rebel.

This is the second person after Zhang Jiuling to predict that An Lushan will be opposed. An Lushan was in full swing at the moment, and the emperor naturally wouldn't believe it, thinking that Wang Zhonghe's association ability was rich and overreacted.

In fact, Li Linfu also knew that An Lushan had bad intentions, so he often beat him, and he believed that he could suppress this Hu man. Moreover, An Lushan was bent on operating in the frontier and did not plan to develop in the DPRK, which was what satisfied him the most.

Wang Zhonghe, who was also the envoy of the four towns, felt that he couldn't take care of it, so he made a statement to Li Longji, resigned from the Shuofang festival envoy in Hedong, and concentrated on running Longyou, Hexi.

At the beginning of October, Li Longji suddenly had a whim and asked Wang Zhongji to take the stone castle city that had been lost for many years. This place is extremely dangerous, surrounded by mountains, there are only two canyons to pass, but it is really a master, ten thousand people can't open, if you want to take here, you have to use the lives of countless soldiers to pile up. Wang Zhonghei immediately played the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and counted the disadvantages of conquering Shibao City, indicating that he should plan it slowly, and not rush for quick success.

This made Li Longji very unhappy in his heart, how did Li Wei, the king of Xin'an, fight for quite a few years? How much worse are you Wang Zhongsi than Li Wei?

If Wang Zhonghei was unwilling to obey the order, the generals of Hexi did not dare to obey the order, but at this time, Dong Yanguang, the general of the court, offered advice to the emperor, saying that he had a way to take Shibao City. So the emperor ordered Dong to be sent to Hexi, and asked Wang Zhongsi to assist.

How could Wang Zhongsi use the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers to accumulate other people's military exploits, he only handed over the right to transfer troops to Dong, but did not give him the discipline of life and death and rewards. Dong Yanguang commanded the soldiers to attack the city, but they were unwilling to send them to death in vain, so their morale was low, and the stone castle was not captured for a long time.

Dong Yanguang patted his chest in front of the emperor, but now he has lost the battle, and he is worried that it will be difficult to make a difference, so he blames Wang Zhongsi for the fault and tells the emperor that Wang Zhongsi deliberately delayed.

Emperor Xuanzong was furious and ordered Wang Zhonghei to be summoned to Chang'an for interrogation.

Li Linfu's framing of Wang Zhongsi had just begun, and he immediately gave the emperor a fierce medicine, ordering Jiyang not to drive Wei Lin to complain to the emperor, saying that when he was the assassin of Shuozhou, he had heard Wang Zhongsi say that in his early years, he lived with Li Heng, the loyal king, in the palace, like brothers, and was willing to serve the prince.

Now he encountered the taboo of the emperor again, and if he wanted to frame anyone, as long as he was implicated with the crown prince, it was simply tried and tested. Li Longji immediately ordered the three divisions to be interrogated strictly, Li Linfu sent Ji Wen and Luo Xizao to take turns to fight, the dignified general Yunlu, and the envoy of the four towns were almost persecuted to death by the two cool officials.

At this time, Ge Shuhan was already the deputy envoy of Longyou Jiedu, and he was also deeply valued by the emperor, so he specially went to Beijing to rescue Wang Zhonghe. Li Longji was ready to give him the Longyou Jiedu, Ge Shuhan hurriedly knelt on the ground and cried to ask for forgiveness of Wang Zhonghe, and was willing to use his current official merits to offset Wang Zhonghe's sins, Xuanzong should not, Ge Shuhan cried and kowtowed to declare Wang Zhonghe's innocence, maybe Ge Shuhan's sincerity changed the emperor's attitude, and finally did not kill Wang Zhonghe, and demoted him to Hanyang Taishou.

The emperor has always been iron-faced and ruthless in this regard, and he didn't blink an eye when he killed his three sons, and it was not easy for Wang Zhonghei to live as a righteous son.

Li Siye closed the mansion and secretly sighed that the imperial court was getting more and more difficult to mix, maybe An Lushan, who was thousands of miles away, would also have such an exclamation, but the thoughts hidden in their hearts were completely different.
