The Henan Prefecture Government Office is not very far from the imperial palace. You can see the Henan Prefecture Government Office two lanes ahead after crossing the Tianjin Bridge. Compared with the more standardized Jingzhao Prefecture Government Office in Chang'an, the Henan Prefecture Government Office Gate is more formal. Like a... vegetable market
Li Hong's first impression was that there were a lot of people. He didn't know whether there were a lot of people gathered at the door because there was something going on today, or whether it was the same as usual. Anyway, Yang Wu was in front to open the way for Li Hong. The two of them were crowded enough that they could probably go in and out in two sedans. The yamen gate.
The yamen guard at the door saw two people who were about to go in without knowing where they were going, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop them, but when the old man who looked like he was serving someone in the palace flashed the sign in his hand, he immediately followed them. He ran towards the official office like a ghost, and immediately left Li Hong and Yang Wu hanging at the door.
Li Hong watched the yamen guard quickly disappear before his eyes, and looked at Yang Wu in confusion. What brand was this guy holding just now? It was so powerful that it could make the government guards run away in fear.
"Show me what you're holding in your hand. It's so powerful." Li Hong curiously grabbed the sign from Yang Wu's hand.
After taking a look at the golden sign, Li Hong's eyebrows almost flew up! The token of my own Jingzhao Prefecture Yin turned out to be!
No wonder the yamen guard ran away as soon as he saw it. The tokens of the Jingzhao Prefect and the Henan Prefect were both made of gold and jade. When they were hurriedly waved in Yang Wu's hand, the yamen obviously thought they were Lou Shide's tokens. Card.
Lou Shide was followed by several officials and several government guards. He rushed out with a stern look on his face. It wasn't until he looked at the two people who didn't regard him as an outsider and were looking around that he gradually relaxed the stern look on his face. look.
After the yamen guard stammered and hurriedly told the story, he thought it was Henan Prefecture coming again and he thought Lord Fu Yin was here.
Accompanied by Lou Shide, Li Hongda sat awkwardly in his office, flipping through the documents on the desk casually, and said without raising his head: "What about that Sima Lin guy? Why didn't you do it? Officer? Didn’t you recommend it, or was he unwilling?”
Lou Shide was stunned. He didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would stroll over from the palace alone for the sake of a commoner friend that day.
He thought quickly and said, "Your Highness, it's true that Sima Lin cares about the people, but this person is not suitable for being an official. If he were to be an official, I thought he could offend all the officials he served, so He is also self-aware. I wanted to recommend him back then, but he refused. "
"It's interesting. In addition to fear of offending others, I refuse to be an official. I'm afraid there are other reasons. Do you know it or not?" Li Hong took the tea handed over by Lou Shide himself, opened the lid of the cup and took a look. Fortunately, it was not the tea soup he and Sima Lin drank that day.
"This..." Lou Shide was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak.
Li Hong looked at him sideways, put down the teacup in his hand, thought for a moment and said, "Does that mean he is dissatisfied with some of the behavior in the court? Or does he see something from your officialdom in Henan Prefecture that makes him Have you lost interest in being an official?”
"I can't say for sure. In our daily interactions, Sima Lin is quite disgusted with the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System. I think this is related to the decline of his family. The wealthy family controls the right to recommend, making him disdainful of bowing to them. Well. The imperial examination system... It seems that he is also quite resistant, and he is somewhat self-conscious about his status as a noble family. In addition, with his own habit of offending people, it is probably difficult for him to be promoted even in the officialdom. As he said, it is not as good as It’s interesting to be a commoner and watch the storms and clouds rise with a smile.”
"To put it bluntly, it means that you can't do anything high or low. You are well-read in poetry and books, and you are talented, but you have no place to use it. Over time, not only do you become withdrawn, but your personality also begins to become unruly?"
"Does His Highness intend to...?"
"That day when I was returning to Luocang, I saw that he was quite concerned about the people, so I came over to ask. By the way, let me ask you something again. Has your young master Lu Shuang done anything unusual recently?" Li Hong suddenly changed the subject and asked.
"Well... I haven't found anything recently, but that..." Lou Shide replied as he thought about it. Thinking of how close Lu Shuang had been to Xiao Shouye in the past few days, Lou Shide's face began to show a solemn look. After considering the words, he said: "It is true that since the Shangyuan Festival, I have become very close to Xiao Shouye, but... Lu Shuang was appointed by the minister to take charge of Luocang. Xiao Shouye is the governor of Weizhou and is in charge of Li Yangcang. They have become very close. It’s understandable.”
Li Hong nodded thoughtfully, patted the table casually, stood up and said: "In the past few days, the provincial capital of Shangshu has issued a document and immediately abandoned it and returned it to Luocang. All grain, whether it is from the military warehouse or the transfer warehouse, The grain will be transported to Hanjiacang, and then the Yicang of Hanjiacang will begin to distribute grain to the people according to the regulations. Sima Lin will be responsible for this. Find him and ask him to find me in the palace. "
Historical records record that in the third year of Xianheng, there was a famine in Guanzhong. Wang Shi, the supervisory censor, asked him to transfer grain from cangs in Jin and Jiangzhou to help Guanzhong. Emperor Gaozong appointed Wang Shishun as water transport envoy. Since then, boats have flown between the rivers and rivers one after another, and grain and rice transfer lines have been opened. The opening of this line was due to famine and famine. It was actually due to the huge bureaucracy during the Emperor Gaozong, the increase in official salary, frequent wars in the northwest, increasing military expenditures, and political and military changes.
But now, with the intervention of Li Hong's uncertain historical factors, the increase in official salaries, the increase in military pay, and the political and military reforms are all consistent with the records in the history books. However, only the northwest in the history books has been frequently changed by Li Hong after more than four years. The governance of time is now as stable as Mount Tai.
Li Zhi's current thoughts are on how to inherit the legacy of the late emperor and how to conquer Liaodong personally. He is indifferent to Li Hong's tormenting of Hanjiacang in Luoyang and Wang Shishun's appointment of commoner Sima Lin as the water transport envoy.
As the weather became warmer and the willow trees on the edge of Luoshui River in Luoyang City began to sprout new buds, Li Zhi did not pay attention to the rebellion in the southwest. Instead, he was in Luoyang and did not do what the emperor should do. , led Liu Rengui and others to study the Liaodong war in his study every day.
As for the southwest rebellion, it was natural for Li Hong to handle it. Ren Yaxiang, Minister of the Ministry of War, advised Li Hong that now that the reform of the recruitment system of the Ministry of War has been quite effective, it is better to send someone to lead the new army after the reform to Yaozhou to suppress it.
However, this advice was rejected by Li Hong. Although the new army's restructuring was quite effective, its training has always been based on the terrain of plains and Yunzhong. If it enters the mountainous terrain of Yaozhou, it may not be able to catch anything by then. On the contrary, it will bring resistance to the Ministry of War's continued in-depth reform of the army and recruitment of soldiers.
In the meeting hall of the Shangshu Province, Li Hong frowned slightly. The Yaozhou rebellion seemed simple, but was it related to the case of Di Renjie's investigation of Li Yangcang's deficit during this period
Hua Meng and Cheetah had mentioned the secret letters to themselves. Now Lu Lisu intends to contact officials from other states, provinces, and governments, planning to take advantage of the court's decision to open up the public opinion, to jointly impeach Li Shangjin, and to drive Li Shangjin out of Yizhou.
Liangzhou and Yizhou are not very far from Yaozhou. Although they are both mountainous areas in the southwest, it cannot be ruled out that these people will incite barbarians in Yaozhou to riot in order to divert the attention of the court and force Di Renjie to continue to control Liyangcang. Investigate the case.
"Since you want to play, let's play big. Father Long is determined to conquer Liaodong personally, so he can't let Father Long be distracted by other things!" Looking at the simple terrain map on the table, Li Hong muttered something. , but no one could hear clearly what he was saying.
"The Ministry of War issued a document, ordering Prince Zuowei Lawless to lead Tiefutu to Yaozhou to suppress the rebellion. In addition, all soldiers from Yizhou, Liangzhou, Yinzhou and other prefectures were summoned, and..." Li Hong looked at the officials of the Ministry of War in the meeting hall. At this time, he discovered that it was not easy to choose a general who was good at fighting and go to Yizhou and other places to gather government troops.
He glanced back and forth at the people in the meeting hall and thought quickly in his mind. Although the Yaozhou rebellion was recorded in history books, how could he know who the generals were at that time? And these memories are also very vague, just an impression.
"Left Minister Linghu Zhizhou, it's up to you. I'll appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the Yaozhou Road March. Prince Zuo Wei Lawless will also be led by you. He will immediately go to Yizhou and other places to gather government troops and suppress the rebellion. By the way... If you have a chance, go Find out the details of Liuzhao and see if they are still honest after Tubo is settled." Li Hong pointed to Linghu Zhizhou, the left minister of the Ministry of War, and said.
In the Tang Dynasty, the Linghu family was not as high-profile as the Five Surnames and Seven Families. It was more like an invisible wealthy family. Its close relationship with the royal family made people full of respect for the Linghu family.
Moreover, the Linghu family has always kept a low profile and has never taken the initiative to make friends with other wealthy families. They have always adhered to the principle of leading by the will of the royal family when it comes to the families who actively seek friendship with them. Therefore, the Linghu family has great influence in the world. Tang Dynasty is definitely a mysterious and wealthy family that does not show off its appearance.
"Yes, sir, I'm ready to leave now." Linghu Zhizhou was in his late teens. This minister of the Ministry of War was always thought to be due to his family's close relationship with the royal family.
Moreover, Linghu Zhizhou even approached Li Hong to resign from his position as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War after Li Hong was appointed Shangshu Ling, but Li Hong refused on the spot.
Linghu Zhizhou is as low-key and unnoticed as his family, but his battlefield talents are still the reason why Li Hong likes him. In addition, he has always supported the reform of recruiting soldiers. At this time, it was even more impossible for Li Hong to let him resign.
Ordering his general today also means to let him clear his name. In addition, Lawless has been training in Anxi for several years, and now controls the Iron Buddha with a population of 5,000. It is more than enough to suppress a riot, and it is overqualified. .
Even Ren Yaxiang, the Minister of War, felt that the Minister was a little too fond of those rebellions? They are all hastily formed armies and do not have much fighting power at all. Isn’t it too cautious for Lord Shangshu to mobilize troops like this
But no one dared to question him, and they didn't know if Lord Shangshu Ling had other plans? In addition to exploring the reality of the six imperial edicts, is there any other purpose
