Chapter 8: Enough Kindness

Li Ye looked at the three people sitting in the hall, and was noncommittal about their words.

Ma Yin is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, Liu Yin is only in his thirties, and Zhao Xingyuan is similar.

Li Ye knew very well what happened in the post house, and it was even more important to deter the Jiedu envoys from all over the country, if it wasn't for the order that had been issued a long time ago, the young secretary would not have blatantly hurt people.

Therefore, Li Ye was not the slightest surprise at the anxious attitude of Ma Yin and others at the moment. However, seeing the other party's appearance as if sitting on pins and needles, Li Ye still wanted to laugh. These people are also overlords of one side, and they were intimidated by the order of the young man, and they became like this, which was unbearable.

Li Ye thought a little boredly: "The so-called combination of heroes is an exaggeration, there are no heroes in Datang anymore." ”

Of course, he knew that when everyone resigned from their official posts now, they were actually retreating to advance, and it would be strange if he really resigned from their official positions and returned to the local area without causing chaos. The dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, and the rabbit bites in a hurry, which is inevitable.

In addition to Ma Yin, Liu Yin, and Zhao Xingyuan, there was also a middle-aged man of the same age as Ma Yin in the hall, with a strong temperament, but his face was elegant. ”

Ma Yin and the others looked at the man strangely, not understanding what the other party meant.

Liu Yin and Zhao Xingyuan didn't know this person, but Ma Yin had seen it and knew that it was Qian Hao, the envoy of the western Zhejiang Festival who was sitting in Jiangzuo. He had a lot of confrontations with Gao Biao before, although he suffered a lot of losses, but the feudal town was not annexed by Gao Biao, which is amazing.

From the moment he entered the palace gate and saw Qian Hao, Ma Yin realized that this person was indeed a smart person. Zhao Xingyuan argued with Gao Ji in the post house, and when he and Liu Yin were watching a good show, Qian Hao had already come over to meet King An.

One move first, step by step, now Qian Hao's expression is very relaxed, much better than them. This is the wise man who saw through the situation early on.

Ma Yin didn't understand the specific meaning of Qian Hao's words, but he also saw from the other party's face that the other party had no malicious intent, so he had to look at Li Ye with doubt.

He didn't believe that Li Ye would really agree to remove them from office, but the gesture of submission had to be put on first so that there could be follow-up. If Li Ye is completely annoyed, Gao Ji's fate will be a lesson from the past.

The question now is how much power they can gain for themselves.

In Ma Yin's eyes, hearing their words, Li Ye seemed to be a little unhappy, but he said lightly: "Do you think that the lonely king is cruel and unkind, and His Majesty is unconscious?"

Ma Yin and the others hurriedly bowed down and pleaded guilty: "We have no intention of doing so, please Your Highness to investigate!"

Li Ye waved his hand, motioned for Ma Yin and the others to get up, and then said unhurriedly: "The Huangchao rebels wantonly plundered the north and south, causing chaos in the world, although this thief was killed early, but the thieves in the world took advantage of the situation to cause trouble. As a town's festival envoy, you have the merit of protecting the territory and the people, and there is no merit and hard work. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ye laughed: "At this point, Gao Ji is not wrong. ”

Ma Yin, Liu Yin and others looked at each other, not knowing why. But they also heard it, and Li Ye didn't seem to mean to blame them.

Li Ye continued: "In the past, the war lasted for several years, and hundreds of people were displaced, but now there is no big war in the Guan, and most of the thieves have been ambushed, it is time for the people to be stable." Fang Caigu has already told Qian Lian that since you were ordered to come to Chang'an to meet Your Majesty, it can be seen that you are still a little loyal to the imperial court, and if you can do things well in the future, the imperial court will inevitably reward and punish strictly, why can't you be rich and noble for life, and have a wife and son?"

Hearing this, Ma Yin and the others were all overjoyed, and it seemed that Li Ye had no intention of attacking them.

The meaning of not doing it means that they will preserve their current official position.

This is an unexpected good thing!

Li Ye's voice stopped, and he looked at everyone and stopped talking.

Ma Yin and the others didn't know that Li Ye was giving them a chance to show their loyalty, and hurriedly said: "I will swear allegiance to the court and go to Tang."

I don't give up on the fire, and I definitely don't dare to have a bad heart!"

Seeing this, Qian Hao couldn't sit well, so he also bowed down, indicating that he was also loyal.

Li Ye hummed with satisfaction and continued: "The wars in various places have been in place for many years, and the people's livelihood has withered, which is the misfortune of the dynasty. In order to let the people of the states and counties live and work in peace and contentment more quickly, although Lone is dull, he does not dare to do his best. Fortunately, there are still some cadres who can handle local military and political affairs, so let them assist you, how about it?"

Ma Yin and the others, who were overjoyed just now, were stunned when they suddenly heard Li Ye's words.

Li Ye's meaning is very clear, they can still be envoys of moderation, or even a small prince, but this is all in name, and the actual power must be held by the officials sent by Li Ye. There is no need to think about it, the state and county chiefs will definitely be replaced, and there will be many generals and colonels in the army.

The power of this seizure of power was a bit great, and Ma Yin and the others were a little difficult to resist for a while.

But Fang Cai's own loyalty to the court and his absolute heart have already been said, how can he regret it now?

With a turn of their minds, Ma Yin, Liu Yin and others instantly understood that Li Ye's refusal to take their position was just a trick of power and conspiracy, in order to calm the hearts of their subordinates, so as not to cause chaos after they left the place.

Although Li Ye may not be afraid of this stubble, as Li Ye said just now, now that the border is full of troubles, what he needs is to quickly stabilize the place, rather than being busy going to various places to quell the chaos.

Without waiting for Ma Yin to speak, Liu Yin first said righteously: "Xia Guanxi is the envoy of the Lingnan Festival, and he has always been worried that he is not virtuous and talented, and he cannot let the people live and work in peace and contentment. Now that King An has sent good talents to help, it is exactly what the people of Lingnan are looking forward to!"

The corners of Ma Yin's mouth twitched, the remote place in Lingnan, and the border troubles of Nanzhao, just need to rely on the power of the imperial court, and the two have always been mortal enemies, as long as Liu Yin has the support of the imperial court, he can stabilize him.

Seeing Li Ye showing an appreciative gaze to Liu Yin, looking at the humerus of Sheji, Ma Yin knew that he had no choice, and immediately followed suit: "Xiaguan also thinks the same as Liu Lian, as long as it can benefit the people and benefit the court, Xiaguan is definitely not willing to be left behind!"

It wasn't until Qian Hao and Zhao Xingyuan also expressed their stance that Li Ye said with great emotion: "The imperial dynasty has such good ministers who understand the righteousness of the great righteousness, why can't you reappear in the prosperous era?

Ma Yin's body trembled again, Li Ye said this, did he want them to send their heirs to Chang'an as hostages?

This was originally the usual method used by the imperial court to control the feudal officials, and it was really normal.

However, seeing Li Ye's ardent anticipation and upright appearance, Ma Yin knew that he had missed something.

Li Ye didn't want them to send their sons as hostages, but to give them an opportunity to expand the influence of the court. The people they recommend will naturally be their cronies, and once they serve in the center of the imperial court, their power will be able to echo with the imperial court and the locality, and that footing will be stable.

This was an exchange, as an exchange for Li Ye to send officials to the local decentralization. In the end, it's to stabilize their hearts.

At this time, you don't have to be polite, the benefits are not available at any time, you have to catch them quickly, Ma Yin hurriedly said: "Although Hunan is barren, the eight hundred miles of Dongting can also be called a land with beautiful mountains and rivers and outstanding people, and there are a few virtuous people, so I recommend two to His Royal Highness." ”

Unexpectedly, Li Ye shook his head and said, "Two of you are not enough." Although there are not many official positions in the center of the imperial court, but recently His Majesty has plans to rebuild the Shence Army, in order to conquer the border areas and recover the Western Regions, all the guards and horses will also be reconvened. ”

Ma Yin and Liu Yin couldn't help but glance at each other.

Didn't the imperial court reconvene the sixteen guards and horses to reduce the power of the feudal town?

Also, since the establishment of the feudal town, it has divided a lot of power in the imperial court, and the rebellion has never stopped. In the past, the festival of the three towns in Hebei made it impossible for the imperial court to ask about the candidates, how could Li Ye tolerate this?

it

The previous king couldn't change the situation, but now it's different, King An is powerful in the world, his masters are like clouds, strategists are like rain, and there are countless good generals and warriors, how can he not get rid of the evils of the times?

In the name of rebuilding the Sixteen Guards, strengthening the central forbidden army, to achieve the goal of strengthening the strong cadres and weak branches, and then weakening the feudal towns step by step, it is the most appropriate means.

Ma Yin and Liu Yin, the two sworn enemies who have been fighting for several years, have a clear understanding at this time, and they instantly understand the joint and the importance of expanding their influence in the Central Plains.

Before there was a rumor of this matter in the imperial court, Li Ye told them that they would be able to take the lead among the envoys of the world's festivals. If the situation really develops in this way in the future, and they do not want to do nothing in the local area, and they intend to take up posts in the DPRK, then the foundation laid now will provide them with great convenience.

Thinking of this, the two of them felt a little grateful to Li Ye in their hearts, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "I will definitely recommend a lot of good talents!"

Li Ye smiled and said with great satisfaction: "You are really the pillars of the dynasty, with you Kuang Fu Sheji, why can't the Tang Dynasty be prosperous?

With a thump in their hearts, Ma Yin, Liu Yin, Zhao Xingyuan and others immediately stiffened their limbs, like falling into an ice cave.

Although they plan to take up a post in the central government in the future when the situation is not good, that will be a matter for the future! If they are not allowed to return to the feudal towns at this time, the devil believes that they can get real power in the court!

In the final analysis, Li Ye still wants to "peel and cramp" them!

Ma Yin and others even had the heart to cry.

Just when they were on their backs, Li Ye sighed to himself and said solemnly: "Right now, the Quartet is stable, and the imperial court will use your prestige to suppress Xiaoxiao. Although Lone really wants to work with you to assist His Majesty, but the personal feelings are small, and the affairs of the country and the society are big, you still have to return to the domain, and Lone can only continue to fight alone. ”

Li Ye's words were quite melancholy, and they fell on the ears of Ma Yin, Liu Yin and others, but they were tantamount to nature.

They all wanted to nod their heads immediately and praise Li Ye for his wisdom, but when they felt the sadness in Li Ye's words, they had to put on a helpless sad appearance, lamenting that loyalty and righteousness are difficult to fulfill.

Li Ye said again: "It is said that the tiger father has no dogs, you are so virtuous, presumably the children and nephews in the family must be virtuous, and you can't work hard day and night, if you have your children and nephews to help, it will be a lot easier." ”

King An said so, what else can they say, they can only say that although they need to sit in the place, but they must not let King An fight for the country alone, although the children in the family are not virtuous, but if they can serve King An for them, it is also a blessing.

So, the matter of proton was still finalized.

It's not a hostage, but all the boys in the family have been appointed by Chang'an!

Because Li Ye said that he planned to start His Majesty and seal everyone as Tongping Zhangshi. With this title, it means that he is the prime minister, and it is of little use in the locality, but if you want to gain a foothold in Chang'an in the future, it is very important.

- What revealed the secrets of the weakened feudal town in advance, it turned out to be a foreshadowing for this matter!

Ma Yin, Liu Yin, Zhao Xingyuan and others didn't know how to end the deliberations and walked out of King An's Mansion.

It wasn't until they saw the bright sunlight outside that everyone realized that they had walked out of the door.

Thinking back to the result of today's visit to King An, it seems that there is nothing left except for this old life that has not been handed over.

However, they are all voluntary, reasonable, and no one can accuse King An of bullying others.

"Eloquence!" Liu Yin looked up to the sky and sighed, slowly walking towards his horse, his back sluggish.

Ma Yin shook his head, dispelled the clouds on his head, smiled bitterly, and followed down the stone steps.

Zhao Xingyuan was ignorant, as if he hadn't fully woken up.

Only when Qian Hao walked out of the palace, he was a little more normal. He stopped in front of the door for a while, and when he saw the staggering footsteps of Ma Yin and others, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said in his heart: "The general trend of the world has been decided, King An...... Enough kindness. ”
