Chapter 38 The obscene Tang Dynasty Emperor
In the middle of the night, the Taiji Hall under the stars and moon is still brightly lit.
Li Yi was in the center, squatting on a low couch with his hands on his head.
Under the steps, the ministers and nobles fought together, chickens and dogs jumped.
Although Li Jie was the first to put forward the term "military management", there are not a few examples of using the power of the whole city to centralize the control of materials in the city, but some people have already implemented it in history.
The most recent is the Anshi Rebellion, when Shi Siming led a large army to attack Taiyuan, the whole city was united, and it really forced Shi Siming to retreat in a hurry after half a month of attack.
But if you take a closer look, you will see that it is different from the current situation in Chang'an.
Taiyuan has always existed as the northern capital in the Tang Dynasty, and it is the land of the Li family's Longxing, and at the end of its heyday, those festival envoys generally did not dare to fight its idea.
Moreover, the nobles in the city all have an extremely deep relationship with the Li family, and even the base camp of the Li family in Longxi itself is in the city, which allows these clans to naturally tie their interests together and give rise to the same hatred and hatred.
But when Li Yi became the emperor, it would not work.
One is the waning mountains, and outside the city is an army of 600,000 invincible, but anyone who is a little selfish and understands the changes in the situation knows that Chang'an is afraid that it will not be able to hold it.
If you respond to this "military management" policy, with Huang Chao's attitude of hating the powerful and powerful, they are the first to be beheaded when they enter the city!
There is no room for exchange of benefits at all.
Now that King Shou has issued a strict order, the princes and nobles are not allowed to go out of the city, and they can't run away, so they can only resist with their necks in their hands, and strive for the last glimmer of hope for their own interests and fate.
As a result, Pei Che Wang Hui and several Zaicheng, plus the documents hurriedly researched and formulated by the left and right servants were read out to the Taiji Palace, and these people couldn't stand it.
First, the rhetoric was fierce, constantly telling what they had done for the Tang Dynasty, and then they pretended to be poor, there was very little rice, grain, and iron money in the house, and it was not easy for the whole family.
Qin Ruoshui, a bad handsome man in Gyeonggi Province, didn't give them face at all, and took out a large stack of account books to point out the wealth of various prefectures, and almost even squirted out the value of the fabric of their crotch pants.
In the face of the ridicule of many high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China, these people couldn't hold their faces, and they started martial arts in anger and shame.
"Bang",
It was still the patriotic prince Li Dingguo, who knocked the person to the ground with another punch.
The difference is that it was not Pei Che who fell this time, but another prime minister, Dou Lu Ying (Dou Lu, compound surname).
This old man is over sixty years old, and although he is a civil official, his anger is no worse than that of Li Dingguo, who was born as a military general.
Throwing off the nosebleed, he jumped up and pounced on it.
"The old man killed you, the white-eyed wolf of the Tang Dynasty!"
Cui Xin has a very good relationship with Dou Lu Yao, and when he saw that the old man was at a loss, he also rolled up his sleeves and rushed into the battle group.
For a while, the curses in the hall continued, and the shoes and hats flew one after another, so it was not lively.
Pei Che was so anxious that he spun around,
"Junqian lost his manners, Doulu Xianggong, Cui Xianggong, don't repeat Zheng Xianggong's actions back then!"
This Zheng Xianggong refers to Zheng Zheng, an important minister who also left a strong mark in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
A year ago, because he was not used to the perfunctory attitude of the former prime minister Lu Xian towards the rebel army, coupled with the disagreement with the request of Princess Nanzhaoshang, he smashed Lu Xian with an inkstone at the court meeting.
As a result, Pei Che's voice fell, but Li Yi waved his hand at him,
"The Taiji Hall is becoming more and more popular, let them fight, and I will watch."
When dozens of people on both sides fought to the white heat, when Li Pu, the waiter of the Criminal Department, could not withstand the beating of the nobles and fainted on the ground, Li Yi casually picked up a three-colored camel on the case, and smashed it on the blue brick in front of the case with a "snap"!
"Where is Jin Wuwei? Heavy ministers fight Taiji Palace, how can they become an example for the four seas? All of them were arrested and sent to Dali Temple for trial and fined for three years! ”
Zhang Zhifang, who had already been stunned outside, immediately ran in, glanced around, and waved his hand,
"Take it all!"
After speaking, he smiled mysteriously at Li Yi.
And Qin Ruoshui, who was next to Li Yi, also lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth flashed a trace of curvature.
Even when Dou Lu Ying, who was being escorted away, turned his head to look at Li Yi, he looked like he had succeeded in his treacherous plan, and happily went to the prison of Dali Temple.
When only Pei Che, Wang Hui, Qin Ruoshui and the left servant shot Yu Cong, and the right servant shot Liu Cheng and Zhang Zhifang in the hall, Li Yi sat up straight and cursed regardless of the majesty of the emperor,
"Ge Laozi, I finally caught them in temporarily, a group of pickled people, villains at both ends of the first rat!"
Zhang Zhifang bowed,
"Your Majesty rest assured, the two sides were detained in the second prison of the east and west of Dali Temple, the beds of Doulu Xianggong, Cui Xianggong and others have already been made, Li Shilang's injury was an accident, but it has been sent to the Taiyi Bureau, but there is no major problem."
Li Yi nodded, "It's that they have suffered the sin of flesh for me, and they are a little sorry." ”
Then he turned to the others,
"Although the resistance has been eliminated, I still have to ask, what if King Shou's military management strategy is implemented among the people, if the people don't support it?"
Pei Che didn't speak, but stood there in a trance for a while.
He is an honest man, and only then did he understand that this was a play performed by Dou Lu Yao and others in cooperation with today's son, striving to clear the opposition in the government and the opposition.
And until tonight, the number of these nobles in the city has shrunk sharply, first burned and plundered by the Boye rebels, and the heads of one hundred and ten families fell to the ground.
Now the rest, those who are qualified to stand in the Taiji Hall have all been arrested in the prison of Dali Temple, and there are only a few cats and dogs left, which can no longer threaten the implementation of a strategy in the future.
He watched Li Yi and Wang Hui constantly analyze the pros and cons of military management and possible problems, his face was calm and calm, as if a real imperial spirit was rising, and he suddenly felt a feeling of tears.
"The first emperors of the past dynasties, when today's son has faded away from stubbornness and is beginning to emerge, please bless the Tang Dynasty for eternity!"
Thinking of this, he smiled happily and got involved.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that a few days ago, King Shou wantonly posted notices in the city to expose the evil deeds of Huang Chao, which is really meritorious, if the students of Tai enrich the content, it may be of great benefit to the military management strategy..."
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this military management policy cannot be combined with the people's forced labor and taxation, and it should become a normal government, and it should be discussed by the council hall and the three divisions to form an emergency law, which can only be implemented in response to various crises, and cannot be used easily!"
The right servant shoots Liu Cheng is the aforementioned waiter of the Ministry of Rites who was locked up by Tian Lingzi, and now because Lu Xiang committed suicide, there is no one in the position of the right servant, so he is raised.
Everyone nodded yes when they heard this, and it was another one.
Yu Cong frowned tightly at this time,
"Your Majesty, since military management is not parallel to conscription, but is its own policy, it is safer for the court to pay money and silk than with it, but since Huangchao Wang Xianzhi ravaged the southeast and cut off the main roads for taxes and grain in various state roads, the current treasury is empty, and there are less than 500,000 left, and we don't mention it, but this soldier and the peasant workers can't be detained!"
The meaning is obvious, the treasury is out of money!
Those of us who are officials can not be paid for the time being, but if we do not pay the soldiers and peasants who defend the city, once they are dissatisfied, Chang'an will be in danger.
Yu Cong's identity is special, not only is Shangshu Zuo's servant, but also the captain of the horse, Li Yu's aunt and grandfather, married to his grandfather Tang Xuanzong's fourth daughter, Princess Guangde.
As soon as these words came out, the originally heated discussion suddenly fell silent.
No matter how good the policy is, no one can play without money!
But I don't want Li Jie's eyes to roll and smile, how can he look at this emperor more obscene in the eyes of these ministers?
"Don't worry, we don't have any money, but one person has made a big windfall!"
Yes?
The ministers looked at each other.
Zhang Zhifang listened to the corners of his eyes,
He felt that the eight treasure cars that he had hidden with King Shou and several other generals might not be able to be saved...
