Chapter 24 Greeting the Emperor Taishang to reorganize the rivers and mountains

Li Jiancheng was extremely angry, he listened to Chen Ying's words, and got Wei Zheng's assurance, regardless of his previous suspicions, reused Fang Xuanling, and appointed him as Shangshu Youcheng.

Don't look at this as an official position of the four grades, and then, Shangshu Youcheng, in charge of the six officials, corrects the province, and impeaches those who misbehave. Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Households, Ministry of Rites, Zuo Cheng General Yan; The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Industry, and the Right Cheng General. Shang Shu left and right, and is also the deputy prime minister, it can be said that he is the next prime minister, although he is an official position of the fourth grade, but he can participate in political affairs with the governor and enter the ruling hall to assist the government.

Li Jiancheng is a confidant of Li Shimin like Fang Xuanling, and it can be said that he is already confident in doing this, but he didn't expect Fang Xuanling to start gangs with his colleagues and newcomers after becoming an official, Li Jiancheng was not only angry at this time, but also had a feeling of being fooled.

Whenever he thought that Fang Xuanling was such a person, Li Jiancheng was furious.

Li Jiancheng was so angry that he locked himself in the imperial study, did not eat, and did not sleep, which made Zheng Guanyin anxious, Zheng Guanyin hurriedly sent someone to Chenjiabao to invite Chen Ying and Li Xiuning to come over, after all, the only people who can persuade Li Jiancheng now are Chen Ying and Li Xiuning.

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying and frowned, "Is Fang Xuanling such a person?" ”

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be!" ”

Li Xiuning sighed and said: "People will change, when Liu Wenjing was by his father's side, he participated in military affairs, gave advice, was selfless, and forgot to sleep and eat, but after becoming the right servant of Shangshu, he changed!" ”

Chen Ying smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that Liu Wenjing has changed, but the emperor has changed!" ”

Liu Wenjing's death is actually related to his own fault, but I have to admit that Li Yuan is a mean and unkind person, although Li Jiancheng is angry, he still did not directly Fang Xuanling, but sulked himself, sometimes, Li Jiancheng is stupid and cute.

Politics and officialdom are like a dye vat, and there are not many people who can dye it like sludge. Chen Ying knew how important the reform led by Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng was to Datang. In fact, more than 2,000 officials took about 200,000 yuan of money and grain from the court, and these money and grain are not very much.

The point is, this triggers internal political struggles. After all, as long as people are idle, they can have the energy to ponder people's hearts, and to have the energy to plan conspiracies and tricks.

Later, although there were many court officials, there were not many officials.

Chen Ying thought about Fang Xuanling's evaluation in history, shook his head and said, "I hope it's just a misunderstanding!" ”

Li Xiuning didn't speak, she was silent for a long time and said, "Chen Lang, I haven't asked you yet, why did you want to remove the post of generalissimo of the Northern Expedition?" Don't you believe Da Lang, think that he will also be cunning and kill lackeys? ”

Chen Ying shook his head and said: "Sanniang, you are also a person who has led soldiers, so you naturally know that commanding 350,000 people to fight and commanding 450,000 horses is definitely not the same concept!" ”

Li Xiuning nodded noncommittally.

Chen Ying smiled bitterly and said: "This northern expedition, the main force is divided into six routes, the westernmost road is the Anxi Army, respectively from Shule, Qiuzi, Beiting along the Jinshan (now Altai Mountain) all the way across the desert, one route from west to east outflanking, the west second road is by the Liangzhou Army, respectively from Dunhuang, Wuwei, Zhangye and Jincheng (now Lanzhou) along the west road to the north, the middle road is to Lingzhou Army as the vanguard, leading the crossing to the north, along the surrender of the city along the way to search and advance, the East Third Road is to the Hedong Army as the main force, along the Yinshan Mountains all the way north. The fifth road is the Hebei Army, and the sixth road is the Anton Army. ”

Li Xiuning said: "You also missed the twelve guards army in Guanzhong!" ”

"It's not a miss!" Chen Ying shook his head and said: "The Guanzhong Twelve Guards Army, the plan is headed by His Majesty, the left and right guards have a lead, the left and right guards are the middle guards, the left and right Xiao guards are the rear guards, and the twelve guards and twelve armies are the general support, supporting places that can be supported at any time!" ”

Chen Ying turned to look at Li Xiuning and said, "Expect the enemy to be lenient...... I know the art of war...... However, from Shule to Liaodong, it is 16,000 miles, and from east to west, 16,000 miles...... Fast horses need to run for two months! ”

Li Xiuning muttered: "That is to say, every time the marshal issues an order, the order is passed to every general who leads the army, and it will take at least two months, and it will take three months to spread it throughout the army?" ”

Chen Ying emphasized: "This is the fastest! If you want to change the direction and order of the attack...... When it takes two months for a leading general to receive a report, it takes another month for an order to spread throughout the army...... It was almost impossible for the Marshal's army to respond in a timely manner, and it could only rely on the separate battles of the generals of each department. An army of 450,000 without unified dispatch and command is 450,000 pigs! To deal with 450,000 pigs, 30,000 cavalry of the attached army were enough. ”

Li Xiuning's face instantly became very ugly.

It is an indisputable fact that the greater the number of people, the easier it is to get confused. Yuan Shao before the Battle of Guandu was definitely not as unbearable as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", after all, Yuan Shao was a concubine, and he couldn't get a few points from Yuan's Yuyin, but he was much stronger than Yuan Shu, but in the Battle of Guandu, he was defeated by Cao Cao. Similarly, Cao Cao's military ability is recognized, but in the Battle of Chibi, he was also defeated.

Also, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Qin Fujian destroyed Qianyan, swallowed Xiliang, defeated Qiuchi, conquered the Dai State (both Tuoba Wei State), surrendered Tiele, Ding Ling, Tiefo, and dozens of countries such as Gaoche, Heishuihu, and Lushuihu, it cannot be said that Fu Jian was incompetent, and as a result, in the Battle of Weishui, his million-strong army was wiped out.

The most recent example is Yang Guang's million-strong army returning from three expeditions to Goguryeo.

Li Xiuning gritted his teeth and said, "Then why don't you stop Your Majesty?" ”

"Why stop it?" Chen Ying said with a smile: "Now it is best to take Li Jing as the marshal, the 100,000 army in the three towns of Anxi, I will control it, and sweep the army of Mobei, I can guarantee that there will be no problems." Similarly, Li Jing has been in charge of the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion for nearly two years, and the Liangzhou Army can definitely command it like an arm, and Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian of the Hedong Army, has cooperated with Li Jing for more than six years, and there has already been a tacit understanding between them, and the Hedong Army can successfully complete the strategic task, as for the Hebei Army and the Anton Army, with Li Shiji, there will be no major problems! ”

That's when it dawned on me.

Li Xiuning said: "Let's go to the Western Regions together?" ”

"No!" Chen Ying said in an undoubted tone: "The prince Chengdao is young now, once Your Majesty marches north, there must be someone in the capital who can sit in the battle, Qu Tutong is already old, it is reasonable, Sanniang should sit in Chang'an to deter Xiaoxiao!" ”

Just when Li Xiuning and Chen Ying came to the imperial study of Taiji Palace, Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling also came to the imperial study with full clothes.

Li Jiancheng saw Li Xiuning and Chen Yinglai coming, and his face was full of smiles. But when he saw Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling coming in talking and laughing, Li Jiancheng was angry and angry.

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng looked at each other blankly.

Li Jiancheng pointed at Fang Xuanling and scolded: "Fang Xuanling, I didn't expect you to be such a despicable villain!" All day long, you look like you are worried about the country and the people, in your bones, you are shameless......"

Wei Zheng stepped forward to defend Fang Xuanling and said, "Your Majesty, in fact...... It's ......"

Without waiting for Wei Zheng to finish speaking, Li Jiancheng angrily raised his arm and interrupted Wei Zheng's words: "Don't defend him!" Menxia Province has become Dongshi, and the face of the imperial court is long gone! I don't want to hear this kind of thing, and I don't want to hear it! I don't care if you form a gang, but it's so unscrupulous, I've never heard of it! I'm really blind, why haven't I seen the true face of you hypocrite? One set in front of you, one set behind your back! ”

From beginning to end, Fang Xuanling lowered his head without saying a word, and let Li Jiancheng roar.

Li Jiancheng sneered a few times, sat down behind the case, glared at Fang Xuanling and said, "Say it, I'll see how you explain." ”

Wei Zheng coughed embarrassedly and said, "Your Majesty, Fang Xuanling has already made a list of officials in the province who need to be dismissed, and those who ask Fang Xuanling to take care of them are all in ...... Recall and dismissal. ”

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he looked like he was watching the play without caring about himself, and looked up at Li Jiancheng, only to find that he was already stunned.

Wei Zheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Majesty! ”

Li Jiancheng came back to his senses and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Li Xiuning breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at Chen Ying with some innocence.

Some complained about why Chen Ying didn't explain it to her.

Chen Ying shrugged his shoulders and motioned for Li Xiuning to sit down, no need to say more.

Fang Xuanling coughed, cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty,... Menxia Province, with the waiter, the left scattered cavalry standing attendant, the left counsel doctor, to the matter, the record, the left to fill the que, the city gate lang, Fu Baolang, as well as the book order history, order history and other titles, according to the current government needs of the imperial court, the province needs a total of more than 40 officials, the remaining more than 200 people, are redundant, this is one of them. ”

Li Jiancheng nodded thoughtfully.

Fang Xuanling continued: "Second, the existing officials in Menxia Province, according to the imperial court, the regulations on the promotion and promotion of officials, there are only thirty-two people who enter the province as officials because of merit and ability, and the rest are all mixed in through various favors and recommendations, and even bribery. Third, according to their words and deeds on weekdays, 28 of them have no intention of flattering, flattering, and temperament, which can be of great use. Based on the results of these investigations, the minister thought that the province of Menxia this time. Only forty-three people remained, and the remaining two hundred and eighty-seven should be eliminated. ”

Fang Xuanling said goodbye and handed the list of personnel to Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng silently flipped through the directory.

Wei Zheng sighed and said with a worried face: "If it is according to these rules of Xuan Ling, the officials of the imperial court in Chang'an, in the end, can stay, I am afraid that it will not be one-fifth of the current staff." It's earth-shattering! ”

Li Jiancheng burst out of his teeth and said: "Just lay off according to this list, Xuancheng, let Zhongshu Province draw up the purpose." ”

After Wei Zheng took a look, he turned around and walked out.

Fang Xuanling stood in place, motionless.

Wei Zheng stopped, and together with Li Jiancheng, he looked at Fang Xuanling strangely.

Fang Xuanling looked like an old god, his face was a little unbeaten, and he smiled: "Your Majesty, you still owe the minister an apology." ”

Li Jiancheng suddenly collapsed and said, "You ......"

Wei Zheng looked at Fang Xuanling, and then at Li Jiancheng, looking curious.

Fang Xuanling put his hands in his hands, stood there leisurely, stared at Li Jiancheng without blinking: "Your Majesty, you are wrong to blame the minister, if you are wrong, you are wrong, you must apologize to the minister!" ”

Li Jiancheng exhaled softly, got up suddenly, and strode in front of Fang Xuanling, with a serious expression, respectfully, and said to Fang Xuanling: "I didn't check it for a while just now, I blamed Xuanling, and I ask Xuanling to forgive me." ”

Fang Xuanling did not shy away from it, and the big thorn was bowed by Li Jiancheng, and then waved his hand and said: "Well, a trivial matter, the minister does not care about His Majesty."

The corners of Li Jiancheng's mouth twitched, and he glared at Fang Xuanling fiercely.

Wei Zheng held back a smile and hurried away.

Li Jiancheng stared at Fang Xuanling fiercely, his teeth rubbing against each other.

Fang Xuanling was unmoved, and still looked at Li Jiancheng without showing weakness.

It seems that Fang Xuanling feels that Li Jiancheng is fun like this.

Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng on the verge of exploding, looked at Fang Xuanling's face and said: "Fang Xuanling, you are enough, this time with great merit to the country, I suggest that Your Majesty reward the two concubines to add incense to you!" ”

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he quickly turned around and said, "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do, and the minister will retire first!" ”

Li Jiancheng is a little inexplicable, how can Chen Ying say that Fang Xuanling is like a mouse seeing a cat?

Chen Ying naturally didn't tell Li Jiancheng that Fang Xuanling's good story in history was jealousy.

Historically, in order to win people's hearts, Li Er wanted to take a concubine for Fang Xuanling, the prime minister of the dynasty, but Fang Xuanling's wife interfered out of jealousy, but she didn't let it. Li Er had no choice but to let Fang Xuanling's wife Lu choose between drinking poisonous wine and accepting concubines. Unexpectedly, the Lu family was indeed a little strong, and would rather die than bow his head in front of Li Er. So he picked up the cup of "poisonous wine" and drank it all. When Lu finished drinking it with tears, he found that the cup was not poisoned wine, but strong vinegar with a sweet and sour aroma.

Since then, "jealousy" and "jealousy" have been fused, and "jealousy" has become a metaphor for jealousy.

Li Jiancheng's stomach screamed uncontrollably, and Li Jiancheng said: "Sanniang, Chen Ying, you came just in time, I'm hungry now, let's eat together!" ”

……

In the mansion of Pei Lone, the Grand Sikong of Chang'an City, Li Xiaochang, the king of Yi'an County and the governor of Lizhou, took an inconspicuous two-wheeled carriage and slowly entered Pei Lone's mansion.

Li Xiaochang looked at Pei Lian, who was thin, and said: "The lonely king has a doubt, and I ask Pei Sikong to give him advice!" ”

Pei Lin said lightly: "I don't dare to teach you, King Yi'an says it's okay!" ”

Li Xiaochang said with a gloomy face: "The clan was demoted, Li Jiancheng was not worried, and he was attacked by the Li family?" ”

Pei Lin shook his head and said: "The clan will not all be demoted, there are at least three people, and Your Majesty will not move." ”

Li Xiaochang said curiously: "Which three?" ”

Pei Lin said with a smile: "One is Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, who rose from the prince of Zhao County to the king of Hejian, and he did not fall but rose. the other is Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an County; There is another one, that is, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, these three people have made great contributions to the imperial court.

Li Xiaochang nodded.

Pei Lin smiled: "Li Daozong has always been low-key and will not come out, Li Xiaogong is His Majesty's sworn friend, and he will not come out...... Li Shen, the king of Huai'an County, is powered.

Li Xiaochang glanced at Pei Lin meaningfully.

Pei Lin seemed to be fine, lowered his eyes and just drank tea.

Li Xiaochang looked at Pei Xiao hesitantly and said, "Pei Sikong, the emperor...... Will he come forward to clean up the mess? ”

"The Emperor?" Pei Lin said coldly: "It's not the time yet, one Li Shentong is not enough to succeed!" ”

"What if you add this king?" Li Xiaochang looked at Pei Xiao and said meaningfully.

Pei Lin glanced at Li Xiaochang lightly and said, "What does King Nghe An want to do?" ”

Li Xiaochang didn't answer immediately, he walked slowly with his hands behind his back, slowly turned around from the window, and said in a low voice: "There is no other ear to pick up people's teeth!" ”

Pei Lin didn't speak, and slowly picked up the tea bowl.

Covering the lid with his left hand, he gently played with the tea bowl.

One of them is exquisite, that is, serving tea to guests.

Li Xiaochang didn't seem to see Pei Lian's meaning, and said lightly: "I will join the kings of the clan to welcome the emperor to come out and clean up the mess and reorganize the rivers and mountains!" ”
