Bai Yujing. With-Dream- . lā

In the capital of Dayu, a city inhabited by millions of people, victory has now evolved into a tangible reality.

The whole city is immersed in a joyful atmosphere, the lights in the squares, everywhere is covered with red and green, although everyone says that it is close to the Spring Festival, but everyone knows that this celebration is thanks to the warm sponsorship of a head by Tubo Zampu.

The area around Gao Street is now very lively, and there is an endless stream of residents who come to see the head of Langdarma, although the officials of the prison envoy department have set up a human wall to not give everyone a chance to get closer, and the residents of Bai Yujing have developed a new game, using the copper coins in their hands to smash the head of Langdarma hanging high, saying that if they hit, they will have good luck.

At the beginning, there were officials who mentioned the prison envoy who said that this was not very good, firstly, it was a loss of dignity of the Heavenly Empire, and Langdama was also a Tibetan Zampu who had been canonized by the emperor, not an old Taoist priest who lacked money to spend in the gym, and he should not be smashed like this anyway.

In response to such remarks, Li Shen went directly to the Ministry of Officials to ask for an order, and sent this unscrupulous official to a certain county in Chaozhou to become a county lieutenant, and went to the land filled with miasma and plague to find out what the dignity of the imperial court was.

The copper coins thrown by the people of Bai Yujing, Li Shen asked the official school responsible for guarding the head below to carefully collect them, and sealed them in the treasury of the yamen as wine and meat money for overtime.

When you come out to be an official, the most important thing is to be clear and look at people's feelings. What kind of person is Your Majesty today? He is a man who is most disrespectful of decency. At this time, he was talking about the Heavenly Empire, which annoyed His Majesty.

Li Yuanjun has also gone through a lot of ups and downs before and after to earn his current status.

The emperor's preferences can be said to have been figured out for a long time. Immediately added a few things to the daily report to the emperor about the people throwing money and smashing their heads, and sure enough, it scratched His Majesty's itch. There was news in the palace that the emperor praised Li Shen as a good official with achievements.

Not long after, the palace issued rewards and invitations, saying that His Majesty was preparing a banquet for meritorious ministers, and Li Shen was one of them.

In addition to high-ranking officials and celebrities such as Hangang Han Rui and Pei Du who are qualified to attend the banquet, there are also imperial officials such as King Guang and King Shu, and then Li Deyu, himself and Yuan Zhen.

Li Shen seems that this is an unmistakable signal, and the overall situation of the government in the future may be helmed by himself.

That's right, to be in charge of the court with the person in front of you.

Hanlin Bachelor Yuan Zhen was sitting opposite Li Shen, holding a cup of incense and taking a sip.

In the past, the criticism of the government and the opposition did not have any impact on Yuan Zhen, and the appointment of Yuan Zhi and Li Deyu as Hanlin Bachelors immediately after the emperor's great victory and return to the dynasty pointed out the direction of the wind.

Yuan Zhen is now a little proud, and today he went to the Prison Envoy Office, and specially asked Li Shen to chat.

"Gong Chui, Pei Du is on the resignation table again. Yuan Zhen revealed a bombshell news.

Pei Du was in charge of the central government during the invasion of Tibet, and organized King Qin's soldiers and horses to respond to the emperor, and was regarded by the people of the world as the head of the force to break the Tubo, Taigongwang, Zhuge Kongming-like figures.

It is said that the news of the defeat of Tubo and the death of Langdarma reached Beijing, and Han Gang also dressed up and said to the henchmen around him: "Pei Zhongli has become this world-famous miracle, and the old man should avoid the road and let him go." ”

Now Han Xiang, who is going to "release a head", did not resign, but Pei Du resigned twice in a row, but was rejected by the emperor.

"What kind of resignation, stay up for a few more days, and the decree of canonizing the king of the county will come down, and it will be too late to retreat at that time. "Li Shen is also a descendant of the clan, and after being the prime minister, he has a coveting of the title of county king that ordinary people can't understand.

So Li Shen couldn't understand why Pei Du's resignation was so resolute.

"The king of the county used to be good, but now it's not good. In these years, those who can be crowned the king of the county are all the Hebei foreign vassals who are arrogant. ”

After being the same royal family, Yuan Zhen, a descendant of the Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was very open to this: "Pei Xiang has fought with the feudal towns all his life, and he doesn't want to be the king of the county with those bastards, right?"

Yuan Zhen and Li Shen both knew very well that the emperor was preparing to crown Pei Du as the king of the county, which was the highest honor that the courtiers of Dayu could achieve during their lifetimes, and now those who can live to obtain this honor are those Hebei feudal towns that are not subservient.

"I resign now, it's not good for Your Majesty. Li Shen nodded, he knew that Yuan Zhen must also understand this section.

At present, the government and the opposition regard Pei Du as the person who has made the greatest contribution to this war, and at this time agreeing to Pei Du's resignation, he will inevitably have a reputation of "rabbit dead dog cooking".

"Today, I still pay too much attention to face and wind criticism. Yuan Zhen commented.

Li Xu's characteristic, Yuan Zhen saw it very clearly. As an emperor, Li Xu really pays too much attention to the evaluation of others. It's like saying that the Empress Dowager Wen is still raised on the top of the Mingtang Palace, and I heard that a bowl of lard bibimbap is fed every day, and it is fed out of shape, and she has been fed from a big living person to a ball of oil.

I heard that the emperor also asked people to put a bronze mirror there, and let the Empress Dowager Wen go to see it all day long, which made the Empress Dowager pretend to be crazy and become really crazy.

This trick was also spread out of the palace, and those jealous eldest women learned to rectify the favored concubines in the family, which can be regarded as losing the dignity of the court.

In fact, according to Yuan Zhen's meaning, if it is really for the sake of fame, a few months after the power, a glass of poisoned wine will be sent directly to the account, where is it so troublesome.

"Wen Rao has already gone to talk to Pei Xiangshi, and His Majesty doesn't want Pei Xiangzhi to be a scholar. Li Shen picked up the tea and took a sip: "Pei Xiang wants to go to Luoyang, His Majesty has approved it, and arranged a title for him to go to Luoyang, it seems that he is called the Eastern Capital Guanzheng Senate, in short, he is not allowed to go to Luoyang no matter what." ”

The emperor mentioned to Li Shen the so-called "political senator", and Li Shen's understanding of this title was that he had no other authority except for his loud voice.

"The Eastern Capital Governor and Senate is unheard of, but maybe it has been done for His Majesty. ”

Dayu won the final victory in the war just ended, the invading Tubo people were defeated and lost, not only Zampu was killed, but also a large number of nobles and troops were lost in the north of Weishui, Dayu not only struck a blow to the Tubo people but also pulled back the Dangxiang tribe that had fallen to the Tubo people for a long time.

Li Sizhong and Tuoba Hongye were both prisoners of the Yu army, and were now living with the Uighur envoys in Warning, where they were placed under house arrest by the prison envoys.

Now that some officials have written to the hope of setting up a feudal governor's mansion in the place where the party members are stationed in the pasture, the Yu people still can't forget the prosperous scene created by the two dynasties of Taizu and Taizong.

The biggest beneficiary of this victory was the people of Guanzhong, because of this great victory, it is estimated that the Tubo people will not be able to enter the Guanzhong area again for five or six years. The people can live a comfortable life, which is why the people in Baiyujing are so jubilant.

The second beneficiary was the Emperor, whose great victory made all doubters shut their mouths, and the court became more and more like the Emperor's words on the surface. Any motions and appointments and dismissals of Li Xu can be recognized and supported by officials from all levels of the imperial court.

Yuan Zhen, Li Shen and others assessed that the emperor's current status was probably equivalent to the merger of Empress Dowager Wen and Yufuguo.

Therefore, if the emperor really wants to engage in the so-called title of "Eastern Capital Observation and Political Council", then with the emperor's current momentum, he can really get it.

In addition to the fact that this victory was not mentioned by the envoys of the festival degrees in various places, even the Goguryeo, Khitan, Kumoxi, and even the Wa Kingdom and Nanzhao in the east sent envoys to Baiyujing to pay tribute and celebrate the victory achieved by Dayu.

"Tian Hongzheng is about to enter the court again. Yuan Zhen smiled meaningfully at Li Shen: "Gong Chui knows, right?"

Li Shen nodded silently, he not only knew that Tian Hongzheng was about to enter the court, but also knew that Tian Hongzheng sent someone to Yuanzhi Mansion a few days ago to send a lot of goods.

In fact, not only Yuan Zhen, Tian Hongzheng was generous, and sent gifts to many ministers, and did not mention the prison envoy Li here.

Li Shen had already handed over to the emperor the list of all the ministers who had been bribed by Tian Hongzheng, and of course there were no missing of his two friends, Yuan Zhi and Li Deyu, as well as himself.

Wei Bo Jiedu envoy Tian Hongzheng once again formally put forward a request to enter the court, this Wei Bo Jiedu envoy's proposal to enter the court has lasted for a long time, and it has been negotiated, but there is such a thing as the emperor's fire and Cheng Qili halfway, Tian Hongzheng, who was originally deeply connected with Yufuguo, has already finalized the itinerary, but because of Cheng Qili's death, he retreated.

This time, in the name of the emperor's defeat of Tubo, Tian Hongzheng once again applied to join the court.

"Tian Hongzheng will look at the wind. As soon as Cheng Qili had an accident, he said that he could not move when he had a wind attack and could not enter the court. Yuan Zhi then smiled incomprehensibly: "Seeing that the imperial court defeated Tubo, and faintly revealed the Zhongxing atmosphere, I immediately posted it, and the wind and disease were all cured." Hehe, this wind makes the rudder's kung fu really powerful. ”

"It's amazing, it's powerful" Li Shen sneered: "It's just that this rudder is turning too fast, which inevitably makes other powerful clans flash their waists." ”

obviously said that you would rebel together until you grew old, but you became the emperor's little padded jacket. Tian Hongzheng's move will definitely attract the dissatisfaction of the other Bahu feudal towns.

"Several families have dispatched assassins, trying to kill Tian Hongzheng to blame the court and stop others from attaching themselves. Yuan Zhen sighed, he was not optimistic about Tian Hongzheng's move. "I'm curious about what Your Majesty has recently decreed to make you scout and everyone is scared. ”

"There is nothing, Your Majesty wants to train the army. Li Shen drank the somewhat cold tea in one gulp: "Looking for the descendants of the loyal martyrs who died in the royal affairs over the years, enter the palace to enrich the armament, and Your Majesty is ready to reorganize a team of people." ”

"Li Congxian's current mess is not enough for the East and West Army, and the back is not enough?" Yuan Zhi opened his eyes: "What is this going on?"

While the two sides were talking, a captain ran in from outside to salute Li Shen.

"The father-in-law has come to the palace, please make Jun and Lord Yuan enter the palace. ”

Hearing this, Li Shen asked, "Which father-in-law is it?" ”

"Your Majesty's father-in-law walks every day. ”

"Got it. Li Shen stood up and tidied up his official uniform and said to Yuan Zhen beside him: "Don't be stunned, enter the palace." ”

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from the emperor. Yuan Zhen let out a long sigh and patted his ass and stood up.

Hearing his friend's slightly rebellious words, Li Shen's face sank: "Be cautious in your words and deeds, Master Yuan." ”

"Diligent and thrifty, Li Zhijun. Yuan Zhen ignored him, just smiled and replied.

Li Shen's face sank when he heard this, he is very powerful now, the emperor was also very good for him last time, and his daily life was also extravagant, and he used a few chickens as chicken tongue soup a few days ago, and he was caught and impeached. Bought a few Persian orchids, and was even caught and impeached.

The words "diligence and frugality" now sound a bit harsh.
