Chapter Fifty-Five: Deciding the Eternal Ministers

Only a few days later, the two wooden signs of Jinyi Wei and Factory Guard were hung in front of the main pipe, but the officials who came and went did not care, they just thought that they were two guards. 。 qb⑀.cOm/

It is natural that the lord has a number of guards, for example, Emperor Sui has sixteen guards, and now there are three guards, but no one has any opinions.

Li Bo knew that it was powerful, but he could only watch from the sidelines, continue to control political affairs, and rectify all things in the county.

Xu Xingzhi and Li Chunfeng are both first-class talents in this world, and when they took over the authority and took charge of personnel, they acted vigorously and resolutely, doing things quickly and urgently, and without much time, the shelves of Jinyiwei and factory guards were set up.

On this day, it was the end of April, after the office was finished, I could see the window, the red sun was slanting in the west, and someone was serving tea, Zhang Xuanning put down a document, took a long sip of the teacup, and sighed: "Sir, I can't imagine that these political affairs are so cumbersome and so costly." ”

Li Bo also sighed and said: " Now the in-service soldiers are 13,841 people, and the monthly salary is 31,000 taels of silver, and the cost of grain is 1,200,000 catties, and I took over, the total silver taels in the warehouse of the government hall and the household division are 348,400 taels, and the lord gave me 8,000 taels of gold, which is equivalent to 74,000 taels, plus the manufacture of weapons, the manufacture of ships, and the cost of resettlement, and other fragments, although there are commercial taxes, but by this time, there are only 33,000 taels of silver in the treasury. ”

Zhang Xuanning was silent, it was less than three months of training, and the warehouse in the county was close to exhaustion, and he knew why the peasant rebel army could not succeed, these detailed rules had to be presided over, but no one made overall arrangements, I was afraid that even if I grabbed the rich warehouse and rich city, it would be eaten up in half a year and a year. When they eat it up, the hearts of the people will be scattered, and of course it will not be useful.

"However, in terms of personnel, it seems that there is still some improvement?"

"Yu Yu came, Ren De Juncheng, Xin Dade came, Ren Zhu County order, now in general. The system of four counties and one county is already complete, and a little run-in is enough. Speaking of this, Li Bo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "There are still manpower, it's okay, just slowly enrich it." ”

"Fortunately, Mr. is here, otherwise I don't think I would have been able to do it in a year. Zhang Xuanning said sincerely, what he said was sincere, just in this county. Originally, most of the officials refused to take office, and the big families refused to be really convinced, but fortunately, the Sui Dynasty unified the world, and the powerful families of the Han people in the south were not convinced, and they rebelled one after another, and they were purged by Emperor Wen of Sui. It's even harder.

"Do big families make trouble and refuse to accept it?"

"There was a bit of commotion, but for now, it seems that it is still holding on. ”

"Sir, those wealthy county leaders don't want to come to my house to be officials, and I don't force it. I don't care about anything else, but if there is a private accumulation of armor, or someone who intends to make trouble, I still ask Mr. to be more spicy. Zhang Xuanning suddenly remembered an irrelevant matter, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, no matter what, it was still peaceful, there was a Tibetan named Sha Luoben, the grandson of the Tibetan leader of Jinchuan County, Jialeba, who led the Tibetan soldiers and people in one county. Bravely counterattacked, resisted with danger, the Qing army did not advance for a long time, and only rebelled, and it took five years to mobilize the troops of several provinces, and it cost 10 million taels of silver before and after, and it was barely solved - 10 million taels, enough to dredge the canal ten times. It is enough to rebuild the Yellow River embankment twice, and enough to reorganize 300,000 elite troops.

I thought of Emperor Yang of Sui's second expedition to Goryeo. The victory was already in his hands, but Yang Xuangan rebelled, all the previous efforts were wasted, and countless money and rice were spent, but there was no merit, but it led to the disaster of destruction, he said gloomily: " At the beginning of next month, I will lead the army to attack Yongjia County, sir, you know, we are now this little family, even if we make up a little more, it can only make me send 5,000 troops to fight for a month, I don't want me to go out on the expedition, my home is on fire, and I can only go back in vain, and then the county is empty, morale and prestige have plummeted, and it is difficult to have the strength to flourish again, I think that someone wants to make trouble, it is nothing more than that time, this is a big disaster, and it must not be tolerated, no matter how the family, no matter how virtuous, should they be allowed to have no fear, can only rebel at home, and do not allow me to destroy him ManchuοΌŸβ€

Zhang Xuanning does not hate the family, the premise is that these families must at least keep to themselves, do not cause trouble for themselves, and do not sabotage and resist their own policies, otherwise, even if it is the so-called sage Kong family, if it is killed, it will lose the hope of the world's scholars, and they will all be killed.

This universe is the universe of the jungle, kill the sages, you can still live, you don't dare to move the sword, there is only a dead end, what do you want to say about the overall situation, such as this, any other considerations are all bullshit, and the survival in front of you is the real truth.

This murderous aura suddenly shocked Li Bo's heart, he thought about it, considered the words, and said: "Presumably it won't be like this, but if someone really takes advantage of the lord's attack to make trouble, I will deal with it strictly." ”

"What about Chen Changlin, is there any news?"

"The lord is really calculated, and Shen Faxing does have the meaning of solicitation and suppression, although the surname Chen is a giant clan in Nanhai County, it is difficult to fight against the Shen family, so we are very enthusiastic when we go to contact, but now they want to take refuge, it is too early, but Chen Changlin did come, and his budget is to meet the lord at the end of this month, and bring three ships and about three hundred local clansmen. ”

"Well, it is impossible to take refuge in the clan until the last resort, and now bring some people, it is the meaning of temptation, of course, it is also because our power is too weak, and when I get the land of the three counties, I probably have the capital to recruit such a big clan. Zhang Xuanning was very clear about this and said.

"It's a pity, Miao Haichao is unwilling to take refuge with me, otherwise, our army will be able to spend less money and get Yongjia County, if you get Yongjia County, in the end, it will be the second county, no matter what, the expenses will be naturally balanced. Zhang Xuanning said with a wry smile, paused, and then said: "That's fine, Mr. is tired, just go and rest early." ”

Li Bo groaned slightly, got up and said, "That's what happened, the ministers and others retired." ”

After speaking, he went out, and saw his son Li Chunfeng outside, but he didn't say hello, and in not much time, he heard the sound of carriages and horses, apparently going back.

"My lord, the minister Li Chunfeng greets. "Although it is father and son. But the children of the family naturally know the importance of being an official, as a close counselor, they still have to be cautious, and when their father left, Li Chunfeng stepped forward to meet him.

"It's just the right time, has the situation in Yongjia County been figured out?"

"I've figured it out, Yongjia Junzhong. Miao Haichao has been in turmoil for a long time, the county army and Miao Haichao are relatively tired, our army has 3,000 water troops, 5,000 infantry, and 200 cavalry, which can also be used, and there are several people and dozens of people in each county to observe the geography, and if necessary, they can lead the way to lead the army, but I don't know how the lord intends to fight?"

"The county seat of Yongjia County. In Yongjia County, near the sea, our army can directly go ashore to attack this city, if the city falls, the whole county will not be a problem, but unfortunately, this year's war is endless, even if Yongjia County is taken, there may not be much inventory. Zhang Xuanning sighed and said, "Okay." This is a good thing, but now I have some things to tell you, and this is a great matter, and you must not neglect it. ”

"Yes. Lord, please command!" Sensing his serious atmosphere, Li Chunfeng whispered.

"First, you go to contact Li Mi, you are good at writing, help me draft it, be respectful, and call Uncle Shi, he was originally the mastermind of his father's land. It is also the title of the Duke of Pushan County, and it is not an exaggeration to call him Uncle Shi. Although Zhang Xuanning didn't care whether Yang Xuangan was the father of this body at all, since the most important courtiers around him had approved it, it was okay to weigh it: "You have to show courtesy, but you don't have to force it, I guess he may not come to me." ”

"My goal is not to have him come to me, but it is still necessary to get in touch, especially since Li Mi is not surrounded by many people now. It's just more than two dozen people, all of whom are keeping an eye on me. If you can buy it, you should try to buy it, start with favors, it's relatively easy, eat my soft hands, and it will have an effect if necessary. ”

"Also, you arrange people to join the Wagang Army, and the current strength of the Wagang Army is not good, so it is just the plan, if Li Mi enters the Wagang Army, he will naturally recruit descendants in the army, and our people will try to get closer to him, so as to seek the first batch of generals to follow, in order to take control of it, in order to get in the meantime. ”

Hearing this, Li Chunfeng couldn't help but ooze cold sweat, he answered, and said: "Guild Li went to join the Wagang rebellion? Father Kuan, brave and good at fighting, skimming people, from Zhou and Sui, several generals, to Zhuguo, Pushan County Gong, I have a lot of calculations, both civil and military, ambitious, often take the help of things as their own responsibility, how can they take refuge in the thieves?"

The Wagang Army is Zhai Rang to gather people, in fact, it is a rebellion of the people, how can a former heir of the Eight Pillars family take refuge in such a pariah?

"Whether it is or not, you just have to do it, well, and give me two hundred taels of gold as a gift from me. In the ninth year of the great cause, Yang Xuangan raised troops against the Sui in Liyang and called Li Mi as the mastermind. Xuan was defeated, Li Mi fled, and until now, according to history, it is almost time to take refuge in the Wagang Army.

When Li Mi entered the Wagang Army, there were only 20 people around him, and half a year later, he rose within the Wagang Army, forming a core force with Li Mi, Fang Yanzao, Chang He, Shi Derong, Li Xuanying, Zu Junyan, etc., and at the beginning of next year, Li Mi was allowed to establish the "Pushan Public Camp", and his power expanded rapidly, and he could kill Zhai Rang at the end of next year and seize the power of the Wagang Army, which is really a real hero in the world.

But because of this, there are too few descendants to distinguish one by one, and people's hearts are not neat, so if you send someone to take refuge in him in advance, you can immediately become a relative high-level of Li Mi, so it is only a matter of course to grasp the military situation of the Wagang army.

"Yes, lord!" Since the lord didn't want to answer, Li Chunfeng didn't ask, he answered, and then he pondered and wrote on the spot, and there was not much time, and a reasonable and moving letter was written.

Zhang Xuanning looked at it and felt that it was very good, so he wrote it right away, when it came to writing, he seemed to have inherited the handwriting of his original body, and in the past few years, he did not forget to practice, although the writing was not outstanding, but it was also considered to be mellow.

After the envelope was ready, Zhang Xuanning said again: "Second, you send people to Taiyuan, or the counties near Taiyuan, divided into two types of people, the first type of people is to open a shop and do things, and they don't need to spy on anything, just record the purchase of rice and grain in the city." ”

If the army wants to move, the grain and grass go first, this is the truth, so in fact, if you know the movement of the army, as long as you pay attention to the whereabouts of the grain in the location, you will almost know the approximation, which is not difficult, Li Chunfeng also responded.

"Also, at this time, Li Yuan has not yet started an incident, so although there are family soldiers, there is no formal establishment in the end, and the number of people cannot be very large, you can send people. As for the various families of the Li family, although they have generations of servants, they will definitely expand in the future, and they can also take precautions in advance, place them on the periphery, and wait for the opportunity to cause trouble in the Li family in the future. The scale is expanded, and our manpower can also be promoted, I still say this, less peace and no impatience, human affection is the mainstay, it will take a few years or more than ten years, but you say to them, I will take care of my family. Undercover for a year, increase the rank of official, and shade the wife, pay attention, send to the land, must have a family in my hands, and there are up and down, each does not know, and supervises each other. ”

"Yes, my lord. In this way, even if they get the opportunity to get a high position elsewhere, they will have some control. ”

"Well, in the final analysis, it still depends on the future. If our army declines, and he soars elsewhere, I am afraid that no amount of means will help, but it is better to be prepared than not to be prepared, and to those who climb to the high ground in the inner room, do not move easily, and do not give orders at will. ”

"Yes, my lord. ”

"Li Shimin's wife's brother, the eldest grandson Wuji also handled the same, well. You can secretly spread the rumor, saying that he has the royal spirit of the ancestors (he is a complete Hu person, the Xianbei Tuoba clan, the Northern Wei royal family, and later changed to the eldest grandson), can be the king, he assists the local people, he will be the emperor, you go to promulgate this ballad is. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji is Li Shimin's core personnel. Wen Taowu is extraordinary, and he participated in Li Shimin's previous battles. In particular, it played a mastermind role in the Xuanwumen Change. Trusted by Li Shimin for life, Li Shimin's evaluation is: I have a day

It's the power of this person

- Why doesn't this person plan first? Don't divide first? Anyway, the prophecy doesn't cost money, it's a good thing. Hehe, think about it, I don't know Li Shimin's brother, and even Li Yuan heard that "this person has the appearance of a king, and the auxiliary person must be the emperor", then he must be unwilling to give Li Shimin as a vassal, or take it for his own use, or eliminate it, anyway, it is to destroy the original number.

If he has an emperor, it will be too conspicuous, an unlikely thing (at this time, the eldest grandson's family has weakened, unlikely), but to say that there is a king's appearance, that is to say that some people's minds are in their minds.

"Also, if you find Li Yuan's cousin Li Xiaogong, you can also predict that this person has the appearance of Han Xin. ”

Historically, this talent is a real general, he is responsible for passing through Bashu, destroying Xiao Milling, Fu Gongyi, and the south of the Yangtze River are under his command, and his military exploits can almost compete with Li Shimin. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he withdrew from the center of power and entertained himself with singing and dancing beauties. In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, he died of a violent illness, and legend has it that Li Shimin started it.

Han Xinzhixiang, hehe, these four words are really ruthless, I don't know what the Li family will think, especially when he establishes immortal miracles.

"You find another person, Du Ruhui, Zi Keming, Jingzhao Duling. His grandfather Du Guoguan went to the Ministry of Industry of the Sui Dynasty, and his father Du Zha, the governor of Changzhou of the Sui Dynasty. Well, you should abandon the official and go home, you should find a way to invite him, if you don't come, you also have to put someone around him, at this time I only have one county, maybe I think I am small, and it is natural not to come, but if I get three counties and five counties, and still don't come, then organize people, and kill him. ”

Du Ruhui is Li Shimin's key staff, the mastermind of the Xuanwumen Change, this person often engages in conquests, participates in confidential and militaristic affairs, and dissects such a person, if he can't get it, he can only kill it in advance.

"Oh, at this time, there is a person in Julu, Wei Zheng, who may be a Taoist priest now, or a secretary of the Chengyuan Treasure in Wuyang County, Sui, you can send someone to go, just say, come to me, the order of a county, let him choose, and receive this person, it must be a matter of course. ”

Speaking of reality, Wei Zheng may be a pure minister in history, daring to stab the monarch directly, in fact, he is a soft bone, the treasure of the county Chengyuan asked him to be a secretary who is not in the stream, and he went to the fart, after the treasure was surrendered to Li Mi, he immediately surrendered to Li Mi, after Li Mi surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he was caught by Dou Jiande, and became Dou Jiande's official, after Dou Jiande perished, he returned to the Tang Dynasty, and the prince was built, and after the change of Xuanwumen, he returned to Li Shimin- This person can be called a slave of five families, but he knew that he was in the twilight of the dynasty, and he saw that Li Shimin wanted to gain a good reputation, so he became an iron-clad minister.

At this time, it will come with a trick.

"Also, you go to find the Fang family of Qizhou Lin, there is a son Fang Xuanling, who should be a petty official of the city captain now, you also go to contact it, and treat it the same as Du Ruhui. ”

"The eldest grandson Wuji's maternal uncle Gao Shilian raised him. Now that he has been sent to Lingnan by the Holy Lord, you go to find him, kill him, and don't let him get Li Valve. ”

"There is a general, Wei Chi Jingde, who is now in the army in Gaoyang, you go to persuade him to surrender, if you don't obey, you can also get married. ”

"Li Jing, you pay attention, this person has a relationship with my ancestors, you send someone to go, is it possible to recruit this person, if not, wait for later, when I have the land of the three counties, if I still don't follow it, I will kill him, but this person's martial arts are very high, don't be careless, you have to kill him with one blow." ”

"The subordinates of the Wagang Army, there are Li Shiji, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao, Li Shiji's subordinates, and Zhang Liang, all of whom are tiger generals, so make friends with your heart first. ”

At this time, Wang Shichong's subordinate Zhang Gongjin can also make friends. ”

"Yu Xuan and Yu Shiji have a good relationship, and they can communicate secretly, and their brother Yu Shinan cannot be ignored. ”

"These people, don't be careless about any of them, all of them will be done for me, as long as these things are done, my brother Xu Xian will have a reward from the prince in the future!"

This series of orders was issued, and the above people were killed, invited, or supervised, fast and urgent, cutting gold and iron, and Li Chunfeng couldn't speak, Li Chunfeng became more and more shocked, there was not much time, and his body was full of cold sweat, these people, etc., or in the north and south, or in the government and the opposition, why is the lord so grand?

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, just recorded it and said, "My subordinates will do it." ”

Twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion

Zhao Gongchang Sun Wuji is the first. Zhaojun Wang Li Xiaogong second. Lai Gong Du Ruhui third. Zheng Gong Wei Zheng fourth. Liang Gongfang Xuanling is fifth. Li Shengong Gao Shilian was sixth. Chi Jingde, the seventh lieutenant of the Duke of E. Wei Gong Li Jing eighth. Song Gong Xiao Yu ninth. Bao Gong Duan Zhixuan tenth. Kui Gong Liu Hongji eleventh. Jiang Gongqu Tutong twelfth. Xun Gong Yin Qiao thirteenth. Gong Chai Shao 14th. Gongchang Sun Shunde fifteenth. Gong Zhang Liang 16th. The seventeenth collection of the Duke of Luguo. Tan Gong Zhang Gong is the eighteenth. Lu Gongcheng Zhijie 19. Yongxing Gongyu Shinan twentieth. Yu Gong Liu Zhenghui 21st. Gong Tang Jian twenty-two. Yinggong Li Shiji twenty-three. Hu Gong Qin Shubao twenty-fourth.

Not all of what was disposed of just now, but the landed people are now in a high position, or they are already Li Yuan's old family, and they can't move, so it's just that, they can do it, of course, they have to be recruited, disposed of, and killed in advance.

Waiting for Li Chunfeng to go out, Zhang Xuanning breathed a sigh of relief, what is the famous minister and famous general through the ages, if he doesn't use it for himself, no matter how much he kills, it is a matter of course, in fact, as long as he kills one-third of them and collects one-third of them, it is enough, and he is called at the moment: "Call the void to come up." ”

Of course, he wants him to supervise Li Chunfeng's execution, if he has different intentions, then Li Chunfeng's family can only be punished.
