Li Zhigao sat on the imperial couch, looked thoughtful, and finally said slowly: "Although this incident did not cause great harm, the border crisis was urgent, so the decree was sent to behead Li Jingjia, and the decree was to be beheaded immediately." ”

"Commandment!" The ministers in the palace bowed down at the same time.

Li Zhi continued to speak: "Most of the people he colludes with are unarmed and invincible thieves, and they follow them to survive, how can they have the heart of treason!" Therefore, no one will be held accountable. ”

"Your Majesty is merciful, broadcast Unai." The ministers bowed their hands heavily.

Li Zhi raised his eyes and said: "Spread the decree, exempt Jizhou, Xuanzhou, Yizhou, Xiangzhou, and the four states from the history of the assassins, and the long history of the subordinates, Sima, join the army, the county order, Si Cao and others, the Dali Temple and the Yushitai of the Criminal Department will be inspected in detail, and if they are really guilty, they will listen to the order before sending some Taoist troops." ”

"Your Majesty has no borders." The ministers bowed down at the same time.

"Alright, that's the end for today." When Li Zhi said this, he paused slightly: "Di Qing handles the case seriously, loves the people, advises me to listen, transmits the decree, and gives Di Huaiying the post of Chaosan doctor." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." Di Renjie bowed again.

Doctor Chaosan, from the fifth grade.

From this moment on, Di Renjie officially entered the sequence of middle-level and high-level officials in the DPRK.

In the imperial history, Cheng is on the five products.

Di Renjie is now getting closer and closer to the middle of the imperial history.

Li Xuan's eyebrows were lowered, his eyes were hidden, and in the place where he was missing, it seemed that a piece of a puzzle was gradually put together.

"Alright, let's retreat." Li Zhi waved his hand, then stood up with Empress Wu and walked towards the back.

"Ministers send your majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live." The ministers kowtowed again, and it was not until Li Zhi left that they stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.

From the prime minister, the six Shangshu, the nine temples and the ministers, the ministers of the East Palace, they withdrew from the Hanyuan Hall in order.

……

Di Renjie had just walked out of the palace gate, and at this time, Li Xuan's voice behind him sounded: "Brother Huaiying." ”

Di Renjie stopped and looked at Li Xuan in surprise: "Lord Wang! ”

Li Xuan said gently: "The prince asks Brother Huaiying to talk about it in the East Palace." ”

"Whoa!" Di Renjie gave up his hand, and then followed Li Xuan towards the East Palace.

Walking on the royal road, looking at Li Xuan with a relaxed expression in front of him, Di Renjie couldn't help but ask: "Does the prince think that the matter of Hebei has been concluded now?" ”

Li Xuan's footsteps stopped, and looked at Di Renjie in surprise: "Of course there is no end, now it is just soothing, but it is enough, the Turkic war has started, all kinds of materials have been sent from Hebei to the front line, only Wenxi County is fair to the Turks, Hebei materials are stopped, and then Your Majesty only needs to be lenient and exempt from taxes for two years, which is enough to make Hebei slow down for several years." ”

"And what about later?" Di Renjie couldn't help but ask, and said with a heavy face: "Don't get rid of it at all, there will be chaos sooner or later." ”

"That's for you and me in the future." Li Xuan smiled and said, "Brother Huaiying, if you want to do things, you still need to have the corresponding status, so please be the prime minister earlier." ”

Di Renjie couldn't help but be stunned, then laughed heartily, and arched his hand: "What the prince said is extremely true. ”

Li Xuan turned around: "Please!" ”

"Whoa!" Di Renjie nodded, and then followed Li Xuan into the East Palace.

……

In the Mingde Palace, Li Xian walked back and forth, kept pacing, looked at the door, and looked anxious.

"Your Highness, please be at ease, Di Huaiying will be here soon." Xue Yuanchao glanced up at Li Xian, and Li Xian's footsteps immediately stopped.

Immediately, Li Xian sat back at the table with a wry smile, looked up at Xue Yuanchao, and asked: "Uncle, this matter involves a major matter, and there are many people who know about it, even the East Palace, and there are many people who know about it, but why didn't anyone tell Gu?" ”

Xue Yuanchao looked at Li Xian and said softly: "Because this is a test for His Highness by His Majesty." ”

"Test?" Li Xian was a little stunned, why did this come up with another test.

"Not only to His Highness, but also to the ministers of the East Palace." Xue Yuanchao looked at Yao Lingzhang, Su Liangsi and Cheng Wuzhong, as well as Wei Hongmin on the other side, and said: "This matter, the minister knows, Wei Jialing knows, Su Sima should also find out, Cheng She's family is in Hebei, and he is even more informed, although Yao Zhan didn't know about it, but the traces of the king of Nanchang have been revealed too much." ”

Wei Hongmin, Su Liangsi, and Cheng Wuzhong surrendered one after another, looking embarrassed.

Yao Lingzhang arched his hand, looked at Li Xian, sighed lightly and said: "The minister knows that the king of Nanchang is inspecting the affairs of Hebei Province, but the minister does not know much, and the king of Nanchang is mostly guessing. ”

Xue Yuanchao nodded, looked at Li Xian, and said: "His Royal Highness has never asked about this matter, and others dare not say anything, after all, this matter involves a major matter, and if you are not careful, thousands of people will fall to the ground." But in the details, the minister thought that whether it was the minister, Yao Zhanshi, or the king of Nanchang, he should have reminded His Royal Highness. ”

Li Xian nodded slowly, the reason why he was able to deal with today's matter in a timely manner was because Li Xuan had taught him how to deal with Li Jingxuan's matter.

Now just by recalling the response to Li Jingxuan's matter, it is enough for him to win the emperor's appreciation.

Xue Yuan smiled gently, and then said: "Now that Di Huaiying has returned to the court, His Royal Highness might as well ask about the details slowly." ”

……

"The origin of this matter has to start from the end of the Han Dynasty, at the end of the Han Dynasty, the court had the matter of reusing the people of Kanto and even the people of Guanxi, and then there was Dong Zhuo's chaotic government."

Di Renjie paused slightly, looked at the ministers of the East Palace, and said carefully: "Then there is the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Northern Zhou Yuwentai and the Northern Qi Gao Huan are opposed, and the contradiction between Guanzhong and Kanto is even more intensified. ”

Li Xian nodded lightly, he knew a little about these things.

Gao Huan's hometown is Bohai, Hebei, and now the Bohai Gao family is still a famous family in the Tang Dynasty.

"This dynasty, Dou Jiande, and Liu Heimin were all born in Hebei, especially after Liu Heimin's rebellion, they were widely implicated, so at the beginning of this dynasty, there was a deliberate 'hard labor in Hebei' policy, plus the imperial court's northern expedition to the Turks, the eastern expedition to Goryeo, Baekje, Silla, Hebei supported a lot, the people paid serious taxes, the labor was hard, and there were few mutinies, fortunately, ......"

Di Renjie looked at Li Xuan, and then said softly: "The wife of the abolished prince is the daughter of the Fang family who was born in Qinghe, Hebei. ”

Li Xian raised his head suddenly and looked at Di Renjie in disbelief, he didn't expect that Li Xian would marry Concubine Fang as the crown princess, and there would be such considerations.

"Hebei is in a hurry, but there are not many soldiers in Hebei." Di Renjie couldn't help but shake his head and said: "The imperial court uses Hebei people, but it is unwilling to use more Hebei people. ”

"Isn't it much?" Li Xian frowned and looked around, and said, "Why do you remember that there are a lot of soldiers in Hebei?" ”

"Your Highness, there are more than 630 Zhichong Mansions in the world, including more than 250 in Guannei Road, more than 160 in Hedong, 75 in Henan, and only 48 in Hebei."

Li Xuan arched his hand, and then said: "Raise the people in the pass to face the Quartet, this dynasty is the national policy of my dynasty." Hebei is only 48 Zhechong Prefectures, but in the entire Jiangnan Province, there are only 4 Zhechong Prefectures. ”

Li Xuan suppressed bandits in Wuzhou back then, and the reason why it was so difficult was because in the entire Wuyue, there was only one Zhichong Mansion in Huiji Mansion.

"The world uses soldiers, either donate money or use life, for decades in Guanzhong, Hedong, Henan, Longyou I don't know how many sons have died in the war, not just one thing and one place." Li Xuan arched his hand, and then turned his eyes to look at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie shook his head and said: "What the prince said is biased, those who donate money get nothing, and those who use their lives can be added to the rank of knight, and they will be prominent for generations, ranking above others. ”

Li Xian finally understood that the root of what happened today in Hebei Province was actually caused by the national policy.

The Tang Dynasty used Guanzhong to face the Quartet, but Hebei fought many battles, but did not use Hebei's soldiers, and wantonly exploited in the name of "military needs", so the people of Hebei had already been angry in their hearts.

finally made Li Xian the crown prince, but they abolished Li Xian again.

Now Li Xian finally understands why even if Li Xian rebels, he doesn't need the soldiers in the hands of his father-in-law Fang Xianzhong.

It is because once the Hebei troops are used, they can't control it, and they will even push all the ministers of the DPRK and China to the other side.

……

"Your Highness, this matter needs to be balanced after all." Su Liangsi suddenly opened his mouth and bowed his hand to Li Xian, but the person looked at Li Xuan and said, "The king of Nanchang is a smart man. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Li Xian leaned forward and looked at Su Liangsi and Li Xuan with some curiosity.

"Hebei officials, what they do in Hebei, although they have different feelings, but after all, they violate the law, so it is inevitable to be demoted and exiled, but exile is different from exile in Changzhou, if the king of Nanchang can take Tubo, then the people of his generation can shine in Tubo." Su Liangsi saw Li Xuan's intentions in this matter at a glance.

Once Datang takes Tubo, it will immediately face governance problems.

Not to mention anything else, Li Xuan's manpower is absolutely insufficient, but it is not easy to transfer people from other places, but once these people in Hebei go to Tubo, the means will be of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty's rule in Tubo.

"Sima's words are wrong." Di Renjie raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Su Liangsi and said, "Sima said this, could it be that Hebei is an enemy territory?" ”

Su Liangsi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately threw his hand towards Li Xian, and explained with some trepidation: "The minister lost his words. ”

"It doesn't matter." Li Xian waved his hand, then looked at Li Xuan, and asked, "Now that we have entered Layue, Uncle Wang will leave Beijing in another month, what are the arrangements for everything before the army?" ”

"Everything is fine for the time being." Li Xuan arched his hand and said: "Tanggula Mountain is cold, and now there is only one mountain road that can be passed, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo are each blocked, just wait for April next year, and then go to war. ”

"It's a pity, if you give Uncle Wang more time, I can't say that I can win a few more levels this year." Li Xian couldn't help but sigh a little.

"The minister actually wants to do the same, but the winter of Tanggula Mountain comes very early, the weather is already cold in early September, and in October, the bow can no longer be opened, so the minister returns more than half a month early, and it has no impact, but after the minister leaves Beijing next year, this logistics matter, please ask His Royal Highness to help watch." Li Xuan's expression was solemn.

"The prince is worried that the Turkic War and the Tubo War will clash with each other?" Xue Yuanchao looked sideways at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded slightly and said: "In the battle of the grassland next year, a big victory is inevitable, but a big victory may not be able to gain much." ”

Xue Yuanchao was silent.

……

In the swaying carriage, Di Renjie said with a melancholy look: "When Zhang Xingcheng, the prince of Beiping County, served as the imperial servant in the palace, he once played the first emperor, and the Son of Heaven took the four seas as his home, and there should be no difference between things and things; I am afraid of showing people to be narrow. However, although the first emperor was kind to his words and generously gifted, he did not change after all.

Lord, will the prince change? ”

Former minister, Shangshu's right servant shot Zhang Xingcheng, a native of Yifeng, Dingzhou, Hebei.

Li Xuan leaned back in the carriage, leaned back, and then said softly: "The prince is not stubborn, choose those who are good and follow them, and change those who are not good, maybe it should be feasible." ”

Di Renjie nodded slightly, the carriage stopped outside, and Di Renjie bowed his hand to Li Xuan: "Lord Wang, see you in a few days." ”

"Be careful." Li Xuan watched Di Renjie get out of the car, and just as he was about to leave, he heard Di Renjie's voice outside: "Zuo Xiang!" ”

Li Xuan was stunned.
