As Pharmacist Li expected, within a few days, the holy decree had been issued, and the edict ordered him to inspect the history of Jingzhou Thorns, comfort Lingnan, and have to accept the system and pay respects.

He returned to Beijing for less than a month, but now he is in the dust and set off for the south.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the general manager was in charge of military affairs, not every state was established, and a general manager was often in charge of military affairs in multiple states.

The assassin is in charge of government affairs, and every state has it.

As a general rule, a state with a governor shall also take charge of the history of the island of Honshu to hold the real power of the government and the army; Or appoint a relatively weak assassin to exercise bureaucratic duties.

Previously, when he was in Kuizhou, Li Xiaogong was the chief manager and also took the history of assassination.

Pharmacist Li was the governor of the palace and the head of the marching army.

It is only because Li Yuan ordered Li Xiaogong to "entrust the three armies with the long history", so in practice, Li Xiaogong is in charge of government affairs, and Li Yaoshi is in charge of military affairs.

Previously, the emperor had appointed Li Xiaogong as the governor of Jingzhou, but at this time, he no longer took Li Yaoshi as the governor of the palace, but checked the history of Jingzhou.

In the bright and deep eyes of the dust, there were inevitably ten thousand doubts.

Pharmacist Li smiled slightly and asked, "Do you know what 'school inspection' is?" ”

Izuchen smiled lightly: "How can you not know? This is an official title that began to appear during the period of the Two Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it was originally a check and inspection. Nowadays, it means a phased part-time job, and it is not an official position. ”

At that time, the higher positions were used to check the lower positions.

It was not until the eighth year of Wude that he began to check the higher posts with lower posts.

Hearing this, Pharmacist Li only smiled and looked at his beloved wife.

Out of the dust immediately realized: "So, you regard this inspection of the history of the assassination as a false title?" ”

Pharmacist Li smiled: "You can teach!" ”

Izumi smiled: "So this time, you plan to just comfort Lingnan?" ”

Pharmacist Li nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

He stared at his beloved wife: "This trip will pass through the Dongting of Xiangjun and the three Hunan of the emperor's daughter, this season, it is estimated that the river will not rise on the way, does the lady intend to go along?" ”

Pharmacist Li originally knew that this would be a heavy topic, so he tried to speak as easily and gently as possible.

However, Izuchen's light and graceful smile was still solemn, and he just shook his head silently.

At that time, civil and military officials were transferred from place to place, and it was the norm for family members to be unable to accompany them.

It is what he and his wife think about, not the gathering and separation of the two of them, but the two children.

Pharmacist Li could only sigh silently in his heart, and Wen Yan hugged his beloved wife into his arms: "Mrs. stays in Beijing, and when the two children leave the palace, they will have a home to go back to." ”

Out of the dust showed a resolute look on his face: "Pharmacist, you can be relieved." I will make it clear to De Jian and De Xian who they are! ”

At the beginning, the 800 yuan from Changchun Palace with Li Yaoshi out of Shannan was only a few wounded in the battle of Ran Zhaoze, and was slightly damaged in the battle of Pingxiao Liang.

They came from Guanzhong, and after the war, they brought the bodies of their comrades-in-arms back to their hometown from Shannan with Pharmacist Li, and saw with their own eyes how this chief attached importance to the aftermath of his subordinates.

They already admired Pharmacist Li's wisdom and courage, and they loved him even more at this time.

This time, they could have returned to the Guanzhong army, but they all insisted on continuing to follow this rare good commander.

So Pharmacist Li, accompanied by He Bi, led Xue Guwu and more than 700 people from the south.

Out of the dust, with the beads stayed in Chang'an.

This time it was still the Meridian Road, and they crossed the Qinling Mountains, got out of Daba Mountain, and arrived at Kipzhou.

Xu Shao has died, his eldest son died early, and his second son Xu Zhiren succeeded him as the assassin of Kipju, at this time, together with his younger brother Xu Yushi, received Li Yaoshi as a nephew.

Xu Yushi once visited the prime minister during the Tang Gaozong period, and his granddaughter was Li Bai's first wife.

Leaving Kipzhou and going southeast, you will arrive in Jingzhou.

The first major event after Pharmacist Li arrived was to go to the governor's mansion and pay homage to Li Xiaogong.

Since ancient times, imperial power techniques often use "checks and balances" to balance the two forces under their control.

One is to compete with each other for meritorious service, so that those in the upper position can easily achieve results; Second, the two sides compete with each other, and it is difficult for them to shake the authority of those in high positions.

For example, the emperor in front of him not only checked and balanced between the crown prince and the king of Qin, but also checked and balanced between the two armies on the north and south roads, and in the battle of Xiaomi, Li Ying was the marshal, but Li Xiaogong was a surprise soldier, and even more between the two cousins.

Now the emperor takes Li Xiaogong as the governor of Jingzhou, and uses Li Yaoshi to inspect the history of Jingzhou.

If we add the imperial decree that "the Qing has not changed the brigade, and the responsibility of the three armies can be entrusted to the long history", then the powers and responsibilities of the governor of Jingzhou and the inspector of the assassination history at this time can be said to be completely overlapping.

What would Lee Hyo-kung think? Pharmacist Li had no intention of speculating.

It's just that he and Li Yuan have been suspicious for a long time, and he can't ask for this King Zhao Jun, who gets along quite well, to form a buffer between himself and the emperor.

So Pharmacist Li came to the governor's mansion and paid homage to Li Xiaogong according to the most solemn etiquette.

Li Xiaogong also returned the salute according to the most solemn etiquette, and then extended Pharmacist Li into the study.

This was once the capital of Xiaoliang, and the momentum of the palace is higher than that of the Kuizhou Governor's Mansion, and I don't know how much higher than the mortal.

The two of them sat opposite each other in this slightly unfamiliar environment, but the atmosphere quickly returned to the past.

After a brief greeting, Li Xiaogong cut to the topic: "The sea eagle troops and warships have been transferred to Jingzhou, and you can comfort Lingnan with Mr. In addition, I wonder how many people Mr. still needs? ”

Pharmacist Li knew Jing Chu Yingxiang's armaments well, and knew that Li Xiaogong was in charge of the overall situation in the southern half of Shannan, and the men and horses in his hands were not abundant, so he said: "At the beginning, Xiao Mo tried to save the defeat, and more than 100,000 reinforcements were transferred from Jiangbiao, and now some of them are still in Jingzhou. If I can transfer 5,000 cavalry, 5,000 sailors, and 5,000 seagulls from them, and hand them over to me to take to Lingnan, it will be enough. ”

Li Xiaogong asked: "Lingnan is vast, and Mr. only needs 15,000 people?" ”

Pharmacist Li thanked him: "His Royal Highness is paying attention. Although Lingnan is said to be vast, the various tribes of the indigenous chieftains not only cannot join forces with each other, but even resist each other. It is because of this southern tour, Huairou can be effective, and there is no need to bring more people. But..."

He paused, stood up, and bowed deeply to Li Xiaogong: "But there is still one thing, I beg Your Highness to allow it." ”

Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "Sir's words are inevitable. ”

Pharmacist Li still sighed: "I implore Your Highness to demote Li Daliang as the deputy of the Southern Tour." ”

Although Pharmacist Li's "invitation" surprised Li Xiaogong, he also "invited" Li Xiaogong's heart.

When he was in Jinzhou, Li Daliang was Li Ming's Sima, and he is still in Xiangzhou with Li Ming.

Now Li Xiaogong and Li Ying have the intention of competing with each other, if Li Daliang can be transferred from Li Ming's left and right, it will actually be in Li Xiaogong's arms.

Li Xiaogong took a deep look at Pharmacist Li, this "gentleman" actually said that what was in his arms, as if he was pleading, and said at the moment: "Mr. wants to take Li Daliang as his deputy, and he really has it." But if you want to call the generals of Xiangzhou, you still need a holy edict, and I will be on the table. ”

Pharmacist Li bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
