Chapter 87: Dualistic Monarchy

The news of the division of the land spread, and the 200,000 Shannan army, the 180,000 rebel army, and the more than 3 million poor people in Guanzhong suddenly thundered with joy, and then poured into Chang'an City in groups, came to the Calyx Xianghui Building of Xingqing Palace, and shouted in unison in front of the Calyx Xianghui Building, and then ran to the main hall of Shangqing Palace on Leyou Yuan to thank Lu Tianshi.

At the same time, the county commanders from the new science and technology scholars were also released to take office.

However, these new county commanders all brought troops, more than one regiment, and few had a team, and the first thing they did after arriving at the place was to completely clear the land and divide the land.

If the local family is willing to cooperate, then everything is okay.

If you refuse to cooperate, then there is nothing to say, and you will be suppressed directly.

With the arrival of nearly 400 county ordinances, land reform was carried out in the Tang Dynasty's Dugi Province, Hedong Province, Henan Province, Huainan Province, and Jiangnan Province.

Longyou, Shannan, Lingnan, Jiannan and Luo Dao did not move for the time being.

Because these five provinces do not have many families, and they are far away from Chang'an Gyeonggi.

Therefore, for the time being, the Tang Dynasty only implemented land reform in five provinces, including Dugi.

Chaos is certain, and for a while, hundreds of counties in these five provinces are boiling over.

But it's not a big problem, because the communication of this era is extremely underdeveloped, not to mention the various provinces, even the family Gaomen of the two adjacent counties is also difficult to achieve the real channeling, so it is easy to be broken by each one, plus the nearly 400 county orders from the new branch Jinshi are basically from the children of the poor family, the will is tenacious, and the chest is still holding a breath, after taking office, they are all riveted and want to do a career, so the situation in Dugi Province, Hedong Province, Henan Province, Huainan Province and Jiangnan Province After the initial chaos, Soon order was restored, and it was more energetic than ever.

Every household has been allocated farmland in the mountains, forests, and farmland, and taxes have been greatly reduced.

Even if the remnants of the family Gaomen in some places are unwilling to fail, it is useless to launch a counterattack, because the local people have burst out with unprecedented powerful combat effectiveness in order to protect their fields, and the number of people is tens of thousands of times or even hundreds of thousands of times that of the remnants of the family Gaomen, what will the remnants of the family Gaomen win?

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty did not even send troops to quell the rebellion.

……

The only thing that was a little troublesome was Hebei Province, because Hebei Province was entrenched by Shi Siming, and the imperial court did not send a county order to Hebei Province from Xinke Jinshi, which gave Hebei the family Gaomen enough time to react.

In just two months, all the family families in Hebei Province have been put under Shi Siming's command.

This sudden "good thing" almost stunned Shi Siming, Shi Chaoqing and his son.

Hearing that An Lushan's hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out by the Tang army outside Huayin County, and even An Lushan was beheaded by Li Siye, Shi Siming was so frightened that he was even thinking about fleeing.

As a result, not long after, the high families of Hebei Province actually raised the city to surrender.

With the surrender of these noble families, most of the prefectures and counties of Hebei Province came under the control of the rebels.

Shi Siming didn't understand the reason, and asked the patriarch of the Lu clan in Fanyang, and the patriarch of the Lu clan told Shi Siming the news that their family had heard from Chang'an.

Shi Siming was instantly pleasantly surprised after hearing this.

"Li Longji is doing such nonsense?" Shi Siming couldn't believe it.

"Li Longji is not so stupid, he should have been fooled." The patriarch of the Fan Yang Lu clan said, "It's Gao Shi and Cen Shen, who served as the deputy chief examiner of Enke before, and these two are the initiators." ”

"Gao Shi? Cen Shen? Shi Siming couldn't help but say, "God help me." ”

There is a reason for Shi Siming's happiness, because Li Longji listened to the greedy words of Gao Shi and Cen Shen, and acted perversely in Guannei Dao, Dugi Dao and Henan Dao, provoking all the high-ranking families of the Tang Dynasty to put themselves in danger.

At that moment, Shi Siming ordered his civil officials to draft an edict and announce it to the world.

……

At this time, it was in the calyx floor of Chang'an Xingqing Palace.

With the full implementation of land reform, with the uprooting of more than 20 top families in Guannei Province and Dugi Province, their Longxi Li family has inevitably been completely liquidated, not only all the land and property under the name of the Li family have been confiscated and owned by the state, but even he, a saint, has become an ornament.

For example, Gao Shi and Cen Shen served as the Pingzhang of the Tongzhong Shumen, which was not from his original intention.

There are also a series of decrees issued by Gao Shi and Cen Shen, which are not from his will.

And then there is the army, and now the 380,000 "Xinfu soldiers" in Guannei Province only listen to Li Siye, and they don't listen to him, a Tang sage, at all, if Li Siye wants to usurp the throne, it is really a matter of military orders.

Because the sixteen guards of Chang'an are not the opponents of the "Xinfu soldiers" at all.

Of course, Li Siye may not want to usurp the throne, and Lu Tianshi will not allow it.

Li Longji is still confident in this, Lu Tianshi will not easily let the Tang Dynasty's Guozuo be interrupted, otherwise he would not have spent so much energy to quell An Lushan's rebellion, and then painstakingly implement a new style of imperial examination, a new style of government and military system, and then implement land reform.

Lu Tianshi did all this in order to prolong the Tang Dynasty as much as possible.

It's just that the price of prolonging the Tang Dynasty Guozuo makes Li Longji a little unacceptable, he Li Longji doesn't want to be a puppet, and he doesn't want to see his children and grandchildren act as puppets for generations.

So, Li Longji thought about having an in-depth long conversation with Lu Tianshi.

Li Longji still didn't dare to do such things as escaping from Chang'an, going back to Chang'an, or borrowing troops from a vassal state to kill Chang'an, or secretly summoning Shuofang, Hedong, or Shannan Town to envoy King Qin.

There are gods three feet above the head, what can be hidden from the immortals?

Therefore, Li Longji could only try to talk openly and honestly with Master Lu Tian once.

"Well, Lu Tianshi is invited." Li Longji crossed his hands and sang, "I have something to say. ”

"Hmph, you don't want to be a puppet?" Lu Tianshi's voice sounded from the main hall.

Li Longji did not deny it, and said: "In the words of the Heavenly Master, if the Tang Dynasty saints have become puppets, then the Tang Dynasty will no longer be the Tang Dynasty, does the Heavenly Master think so?" ”

"No, Datang is just a country name." Lu Tianshi said abruptly, "Whether it is the prince and grandson who grew up in the forbidden garden and is surrounded by women and eunuchs to govern, or the Hanmen who started in the state and county is quite in power, the Tang Dynasty is still the Tang Dynasty, of course, if you don't want to be a puppet in Longxi Li, this seat can also be replaced by another family as this puppet." ”

Now, Lu Tianshi can say this to Li Longji.

Li Longji was speechless when he heard this, because he knew that Lu Tianshi didn't scare him, as long as he wanted, he could really change to another family to sit on the dragon chair, and he Longxi Li didn't have the slightest ability to resist.

The Li clan of Longxi is simply not worth mentioning in front of Lu Tianshi, an immortal.

After a long time, Li Longji said, "Is there no other way to compromise?" ”

After a pause, he said: "Lu Tianshi, it is impossible for your old man to stay in the mortal world all the time, and after waiting for the mortal fate, one day he will return to the heavenly realm, what will happen to Datang at that time?" ”

"I'm already old, and the prince's age is not young, so I must be powerless."

"But my grandson, and my grandson's grandson, who can guarantee that they will not seek to regain power from the prime minister? At that time, won't Datang have another big mess? ”

"Even if the Heavenly Master changes to another family to become the emperor, the situation will be the same."

"The descendants of that family will definitely not be at the mercy of the prime minister of the cold family."

"So can you find a compromise? It is good to give the saint imperial power, and give the prime minister enough power to let the imperial power and the prime minister achieve mutual checks and balances? ”

This is actually Lu Tianshi's true intention, and what Lu Tianshi really wants is this.

Because what Li Longji is talking about is the dual power structure of the monarchy and the prime minister, similar to the German Empire before the First World War, Japan before the Second World War, and Thailand until now, this power structure can be said to be the best transitional system between the monarchy and the republic.

The Ming Dynasty has actually implemented a dual monarchy since the Xuanzong Dynasty.
