Li Siye felt as if he had been opened up in an instant, and he couldn't hide the surprise in his heart, which was too easy. Just by offering a piece of music called suona, and offering a song that seems to be heart-to-heart, you can get so many official positions. Why does he still maintain the character of a simple and brave general in the past.

He participated in every expedition to the west of the city, and every expedition was bloodied from head to toe, but the road to promotion in exchange was rugged and bumpy, and there were always people who stumbled behind their backs.

Now that he is suddenly holding ten positions, what else can these people who are blocking his official career behind his back.

It turns out that the best way to be promoted is to poke the emperor's G-spot, which is several times stronger than the effect of killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, and it is also much better than the Anxi Jiedu envoy. The herdsmen of Longyou Province control the supply and logistics of military horses in the entire Longyou Province, and are in charge of dozens of horse farms such as Hetao and Hexi, and are responsible for distributing military horses to all border towns in Longyou Province. First of all, this is just a position and not an official, there is no grade seal, only the emperor's symbol.

The same is true of the Longyou recruiting envoy and the Longyou interview envoy, and the recruiting envoys in these two official positions were created by the emperor, so it is perfunctory or perfunctory. Since the interview envoy is to supervise the prisons and examinations in all the prefectures and counties of the entire Longyou Dao, the conscription envoy should be a sign and distribution of the entire Longyou Dao soldiers. Although he is not able to take full charge of the west now, it is a matter of time before he and Gao Xianzhi are in charge.

This is really incomprehensible to him, why did the emperor still leave Gao Xianzhi in the position of the envoy of the Anxi Festival, is it because he has no confidence in his overall military ability, and wants Gao Xianzhi to receive it for a few more years, it is too self-congratulatory to think like this.

He immediately bowed his head and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Li Linfu quickly restrained his shock, he wanted to oppose these appointments, but asking him to say it in person was not in line with his habit of never scolding the emperor. Speaking bluntly about this kind of thing, naturally someone will stand up for him and say it.

So Wang Jie, who played the black face, stood up, stepped forward and exhorted: "Your Majesty, by all means, Li Siye has not made new contributions, how can he be continuously promoted." ”

Before Li Longji made a decision, he already had a word of response: "Of course, it is precisely because Li Siye has not made new contributions that I have not promoted his scattered officials and honored officers, as for the additional official positions, interview envoys, recruiting envoys, and herd envoys, these are just messengers, and there is no rank official position, and the concurrently held history of the Sanzhou Assassin is also within the jurisdiction of his Beiting." These are all symbols of the trust I have in him. ”

Wang Ji still had a killer idea, and he was about to say it in front of Li Siye, but was stopped by Li Linfu with a look. The old fox squinted and turned around, facing Li Siye and said with a smile: "Lin Fu congratulates Li Zhongcheng, no, Dr. Li, if you can gain Your Majesty's trust, you and I should be closer in the future." ”

After he finished saying this sentence against his will, he crossed his hand and said to the emperor: "Wang Ji recently secretly visited Chang'an, and found a fellow party who intended to promote the crown prince, Wei Jian, and Huangfu Weiming Zhu Fang. ”

When the emperor heard such a sensitive word, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Li Siye, who was kneeling on the ground: "Li Siye, you go back first, and wait for the talisman I will give you." ”

"Wechen retired."

Li Siye slowly retreated behind a pillar at the edge of the Emperor's line of sight, while hesitantly turning his head to figure out how they were going to stab the knife next.

He knows that if Li Linfu's moral level is inferior, this person will be three lower than Li Linfu's lower limit. Li Linfu's biggest black spot is nothing more than jealousy, exclusion of dissidents, and retaliation. He does his best in politics, and he will not exploit the people, so even if he intrigues in the court and fights in the officialdom, the people's evaluation of him is not unbearable.

In addition to serving as Li Linfu's accomplice to frame the minister, and concurrently serving as a household envoy, the silk cloth in the state treasury has been piled up, and the "light goods" such as jewelry needed by the court are relatively insufficient. Therefore, Wang Ji instructed the relevant officials to deliberately be very picky about the silk handed over by various localities, and returned them to the local prefectures and counties under various pretexts, and then used the money to collect coins at high prices, and then used the money to requisition jewelry and other light goods at low prices in the localities. After such repeated tossing, the government has made huge profits, but it has not been able to toss the people.

Not only were the people severely exploited by Wang Jie, but even the soldiers on the border did not let go. According to the system, those who become soldiers are changed every six years, and they do not have to pay rent. However, the generals on the border were ashamed of the defeat and did not report to the government the soldiers who died in the battle, so the soldiers who died in the battle did not cancel their household registration. This gave Wang Ji a chance, and he treated these people who had household registration but no one as tax evasion. As a result, some people are even taxed for 30 years at a time, and these taxes are evenly distributed among the poor people, and the people have nowhere to reason. He exploited the people and extorted hundreds of millions of dollars, some of which were charged to the court and presented to the emperor, and some of them fattened themselves. Tang Xuanzong, who didn't know the truth, repeatedly promoted him, but he didn't know that he had invisibly become Wang Jie's accomplice.

Such expropriation and extortion directly led to the flight of a large number of peasants throughout the Tianbao period. There has been a huge reversal in society.

Of course, it was Xuanzong himself who benefited the most from Wang Jie's crazy accumulation of wealth. At this time, Xuanzong's consumption was becoming more and more extravagant, and the harem rewards were not controlled, and the inventory of the imperial treasury (Da Ying Treasury) could not keep up with his rhythm at all, and he could not go to the left and right treasury to get it as he wanted.

After Wang Ji found out, he paid an additional 10 billion yuan to the big surplus treasury every year for Xuanzong to squander, and said that this was an additional income other than the rent adjustment and had nothing to do with state funds. Since then, Xuanzong has been even more "extravagant", thinking that Wang Ji has a good way of managing his finances, can enrich the country, and is even more pampered.

In just over ten years, Xuanzong squandered the richest and most powerful Tang Empire he had built with his own hands, and burned his efforts in the first thirty years. The feudal towns were divided, the people were displaced, and the society was in turmoil. Wang Ji can be said to be the best assist in it.

In this case, when the Wang Ji brothers rebelled in the future, he would definitely fill a fire and widen the road where these two brothers would die, so that they would be burned to hell quickly

……

Li Siye was standing in the hall just now, and Wang Ji couldn't say some things, but now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to increase the output power.

"Wang Jie, you say, who is Wei Jian, Huangfu Weiming's comrade in Chang'an."

He bowed his head respectfully, and a scathing smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty, this person is none other than Li Siye, who has just left. ”

Li Longji's brows furrowed, he raised his hand and grabbed his beard vigorously, and asked with a stern expression: "You say that, do you have any evidence?" ”

"Of course there are credentials. Your Majesty, in the twenty-fifth year of the old calendar, the former Anxi capital Hu Lai Yao once visited the residence of King Zhong, and Li Siye was recommended by the former King Zhong and the prince today, and followed Lai Yao to Anxi to confer officials. He has long been the prince's henchman, and he has also participated in all the conspiracies between Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming! ”

Li Longji's brows suddenly stretched, with a little sarcasm and lightness on his face.
