Chapter 676: Northeast Road Daxingtai

(Thank you ermaozhao, prosperous word password monthly pass support, kneel and beg for a monthly pass!) )

Although the Daimyo Newspaper is a newspaper run by Weibo Town, it is also very influential. The headlines on the front page of the new issue of the Daimyo newspaper quickly spread from the Yellow River and the Wei River to Guanzhong. When Li Yi, the son of heaven, saw this newspaper, many people in Chang'an, the capital division, already knew the news.

Subsequently, this news spread rapidly in Chang'an City like the wind, and the few daimyo newspapers that were sent to Chang'an by merchants and post men were quickly precious, and countless people circulated them.

When the emperor sent people to summon the ministers to discuss the forbidden matter, eight or nine out of ten ministers had already known about the sensational news in Beijing.

Every minister who entered the palace was worried, and everyone knew the shocking nature of the news.

If Li Jing really rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and became self-reliant, and got the support of the four towns, then it would really be impossible to protect Hebei, Northeast and even Henan.

"Your Majesty, this is a divisive plan of the Hebei rebels, Li Jing is loyal to the Tang Dynasty and will never betray His Majesty and the Tang Dynasty!" Prime Minister Yu Cong was the first to speak. The Yu family has a close relationship with Li Jing, Yu Xuan is Li Jing's teacher, and Yu Xuan's concubine has lived in Li Jing's mansion for several years, and she follows Li Jing for no reason. No matter how you look at it, in the eyes of others, the Yu and Li families are extremely concerned, and if something happens to Li Jing, the Yu family will definitely be shocked. At that time, the Yu family was implicated because of the battle between the court and the Chinese people, and even if Yu Cong was a concubine and the prime minister, the three brothers in the family were all marshals of a town, but in case the court thought that Li Jing was going to rebel, he was afraid that the higher the Yu family stood, the heavier the fall.

Zhang Tai, the envoy of the Xuanhui North Courtyard and the general of the right prison guard, also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave also thinks that this is a discordant plan of the traitors in Hebei. It was intended to divide the court and the king of Anton. Make the court and the county king suspicious of each other. Your Majesty must not trust traitors. so as not to break the hearts of the loyal officers and soldiers. ”

In fact, at the moment, don't say that Li Jing did not rebel, even if Li Jing rebelled, as long as he did not become emperor, the imperial court had to find a way to appease rather than suppress it. One Huangchao and the four towns of Hebei, the imperial court is already in a hurry, how can it bear the disastrous consequences of Li Jing's rebellion.

"The king of Andong County previously sent troops to Xiapi and forced Huang Chao to withdraw from Linhuai, Sizhou. Subsequently, he sent troops to Youzhou in the north and the Yellow River in the south, forcing the Hebei rebels to divide their troops to take precautions. The minister thought that it was Li Shuai's previous troops to threaten the rebels that made them come up with this divisive plan. To deal with the rebels' divisive plan, the imperial court should reward King Li Junwang heavily, so as to avoid the fear and suspicion of the county king, so that the rebels' divisive plan will not be broken, and the people of the world can rest assured. Hubu Shangshu and Tongping Zhangshi Li Wei also spoke. From the financial aspect of his own responsibility, the prime minister also determined that the imperial court could not afford the consequences of Li Jing's rebellion at this time.

"Reward and appease Li Jingyi!" This is the unanimous agreement of all the courtiers in the Yanying Palace.

Even people such as Lu Xi, Tian Lingzi and others understand. At this time, Li Jing must not be provoked. Although they hate Li Jing, they also know it. At present, no matter which side Li Jing joins, it will bring subversive results to the situation in front of him. For this reason, the imperial court must appease Li Jing at any cost, at the very least, let the imperial court solve the Huangchao and the four anti-kings of Hebei first. At that time, it is not too late to settle accounts with Li Jingqiu again.

"Privy Envoy Yang, does the Privy Council have control over the details of this matter?" Li Yi's gaze was like lightning shooting at Yang Fugong.

Being stared at by the emperor with such a sharp gaze, Yang Fugong also felt a sense of oppression coming, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the secret agent of the Ministry of Justice has just sent back the news that the Four Anti-Kings of Hebei did send Liu Rengong, the assassin of Mozhou, to Liaodong City to see Li Jing. They sent Li Jing the six crowns of the Son of Heaven and wanted to support Li Jing as the emperor. ”

Hearing that the four towns had a support for Li Jing, even Li Yi's ministers couldn't help but turn pale. Previously, everyone thought that this thing was just a discord scheme, but now it seems that this may be more than just a discord scheme.

However, Li Jing rejected the Four Towns proposal and drove Liu Rengong away.

Li Yi's nervous heart was relieved.

However, then the merchants of the Northeast made a deal with Li Quanzhong, who occupied the Yiwu Army. Li Quanzhong sold nearly 50,000 of the former Yiwu army and his family members in Yiding Erzhou to the merchants in the northeast, and then exchanged for a large number of ordnance materials including iron armor, leather armor, spears, and horizontal knives. ”

A burst of inhalation sounded, and this news made the faces of nearly half of the ministers in the hall change again.

Regardless of who and who did the business on the surface, everyone understood that in essence, it was Li Jing trading with the rebels, and it was also a trade between population and ordnance. The implications of this are complicated. The rebels just wanted to respect Li Jing as the emperor, and Li Jing drove the rebel envoys away, but then started this ordnance and population business with the rebels. This is in wartime, this kind of business, that is, collaborating with the enemy, is equivalent to rebellion!

But now, although everyone understands that Li Jing's actions are tantamount to rebellion, as long as Li Jing does not rebel, the imperial court does not dare to reveal the matter.

Li Jing is already powerful, and the last time the imperial court first named Marshal Li Jing, Li Jing refused to express his stance and send troops. Later, it was added until the envoys of the twelve towns and festivals were mobilized. But up to now, Li Jing has not really attacked the rebels, this kind of behavior, ambiguous attitude, is very dangerous.

Of course, the imperial court hoped that Li Jing could send troops to Hebei, but Li Jing made it clear that he did not want to send troops to fight the rebels, which made the imperial court very helpless.

At present, Li Jing, except for Ziqing Town and Denglai Town, the five states are in the east of Henan, and the rest of the sixteen states are all in the northeast of Hebei.

"The minister proposed to build the Northeast Road Xingtai, awarded Li Jing as the Northeast Road Xingtai Order, and then gave Li Jing the king of Qi, so that he could send troops to Hebei." Dou Lu Yao gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

Hearing Dou Lu Yao's proposal, everyone in the hall was shocked.

Xingtai belongs to the official position above the state level, as early as the Northern Wei Dynasty, has been generally set up Xingtai Province, and then the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Qi Dynasty are all used, and in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was also set up for a time. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Xingtai Province was also established, but it was abolished after the world was pacified.

From the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Xingtai system existed for hundreds of years, and its nature was also different. But there are roughly four types.

That is, as the platform of the provisional central government. As a branch of Shangshu Province. In the transitional form, there is also the platform of the highest level of local administration.

By the time of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty, Xingtai had become the highest level of local administration.

In the early period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Xingtai was the temporary central government Xingtai established by the emperor when he personally conquered the country.

During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, a platform was established in the local area, which was already a branch of Shangshu Province.

And before the uprising of the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The imperial court often sent some officials to form a platform to inspect or deal with military and political affairs everywhere, which was called the envoy line, the marriage line, or the unified army supervision platform. Because of the wars in the later period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Shangshu Province could not afford to travel to Taiwan, and most of the officials in Xingtai were officials from other ministries of the central government. Due to the protracted war, these stations gradually became long-term institutions to restrain the local military, and even after the war stopped, due to local instability, the stations would not be abolished immediately. Rather, it became a permanent local body, in some military towns. The Xingtai District has already begun to take shape.

By the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, seven fixed Xingtai districts had been formed, and the Xingtai officials had been transferred from the central government to the local officials to appoint Xingtai, and from the central dispatched agencies to the highest local administrative bodies. Officials who are promoted in the office are also promoted within the station without having to be transferred to other stations.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the country was divided into six provinces and six Xingtai provinces were established, the largest of which was Daxingtai Province of Eastern Shaanxi Province, and Li Shimin served as the secretary of Daxingtai. However, the Xingtai in the early Tang Dynasty only lasted for ten years, and it was completely revoked after the last time.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Liudao Xingtai was a local agency sent by the Central Shangshu Province, in charge of the military and civil affairs, and held a high position.

Xiangzhou Daoxingtai once led 257 prefectures such as Jiao, Guangzhou, An, and Huang.

The six towns are on the platform, with Li Shimin and other princes as the Shangshu Order, but the Xianzhou Road and the Southeast Road are the Huai'an tyrant Yang Shilin and the Hezhou thief Du Fuwei as the Shangshu Order.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the rank of the officials in the Taiwan was comparable to that of the officials of the Central Shangshu Province, and the grade was the same or even only one rank lower.

For example, the Central Shangshu Provincial Shangshu Order is the second product, the Daxingtai Shangshu Order is also the second product, and the Xingtai Shangshu Order is from the second product.

Others, such as the left and right servants, the left and right servants, the capital, the principal, the six Shangshu, and the six servants, are also set up.

Due to the heavy authority of the Xingtai, it only lasted for ten years, and after the central government of the Tang Dynasty basically grasped the situation, it abolished the six Xingtai one by one.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, only Li Shimin has held the official Shangshu Order, but there are still several people who have held this position. Li Shimin, Li Yuanji, Du Fuwei, and Yang Shilin all successively served as the secretary of the Taishang order.

The six stages of the early Tang Dynasty were much greater than the ten festivals of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. And the Ten Towns Festival Envoy at the time of Tang Xuanzong was much more powerful than today's Festival Envoy.

The last time the imperial court sealed Li Jing's Jiedu envoy, commanded a Jiedu District, and governed twelve towns, in exchange for Li Jing finally mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Now, the situation is even more dangerous, the four towns of Hebei all respect Li Jing as the emperor, at this time, Dou Lu Yao wants to come, and only by giving Li Jing more rights can he be tempted to send troops. The power of Xingtai is huge, but if it is compared to the Emperor of Great Qi, it is obviously still worse.

At this time, the imperial court could not afford the consequences of Li Jing's rebellion, and after thinking about it, the only way to do it was to promote Li Jing and give him the official position of Xingtai Shangshuling and King of Qi. Although such an approach will only make Li Jing more difficult to control in the future, the tail will not be lost.

But it will be drinking to quench thirst, and it is definitely better than dying of thirst immediately. Stabilize Li Jing first, solve the Hebei rebellion, and then come to Xu Xu to map Li Jing.

When Tian Lingzi heard Dou Lu Yao's proposal, his eyes rolled, and he was almost ready to jump out and scold him angrily. But after thinking about it, he is still more low-key for now, because besides, he can't think of a better plan. It's really Li Jing who is reversed, if Datang is gone, can he, a eunuch, still be able to take refuge in Li Jing.

Many officials, like Tian Lingzi, felt that this reward was too high, even if it was to appease Li Jing, but it was too high.

Lu Xian objected, and Dou Lu Yao argued with reason, he had already added Li Jing to the festival before, except for Xingtai, King Qi, would Li Jing still care about other official positions? Compared with the situation in front of them, although the official titles of Xingtai and King Qi are very high, they have no choice. Besides, at present, the territory of the twenty-one states controlled by Li Jing is not given by the imperial court, but in fact, Li Jing is not completely controlled like Xingtai?

Dou Luyao pointed out that the current situation in Hebei is already very dangerous, and if Li Jing is really moved by the anti-thief, it will be too harmful to the imperial court. The imperial court should take advantage of Li Jing's still waiting and waiting to come up with conditions that can reassure Li Jing.

Li Yi listened to the discussion of the ministers of the palace, his heart was churning, and he couldn't wait to throw off his sleeves and leave. But he also knew that although these words made him angry, he had no other better way. Dou Lu was right, the imperial court could not afford the consequences of Li Jing's immediate rebellion.

At the very least, the imperial court has to be more prepared.

At the very least, the imperial court has to drag on until the four towns of Hebei are resolved, or the four towns of Hebei are severely damaged.

The festival envoys, marshals, and festival degrees have all been promoted to Li Jing all the way, and by now, the festival degree envoys can no longer satisfy Li Jing. gave the platform today, and from then on, Li Jing will really be in charge of the army and the people, and the 21 prefectures in the Northeast Province will be completely controlled by Li Jing. But does he have any other choice? Even if he wants to start a war with Li Jing, at least not now.

After thinking for a long time, Li Yu's gaze swept over the hall again.

The ministers were waiting for the emperor's decision, and since the emperor was dedicated to the government, the ministers gradually became accustomed to the emperor's participation in these military and political affairs.

"Spread my will, add the king of Andong County, Hebei, the marshal of the Northeast Road, Ziqing and other twelve towns and festivals to make Li Jing the Northeast Road to the Taishang Book Order!" Li Yi said coldly.

The ministers waited for a while, but they didn't hear the expected will of the king of Qi, and they all raised their heads and looked at the emperor a little strangely. It's all at this time, do you still want to be stingy with a prince?

Li Yi really refused to crown this prince, although Li Tang gave the title of king to the hero with a different surname, but there were very few people who were crowned the king. One word king, but the prince of Bi, this time to add Prince Li Jing, so what will you use to seal Li Jing next time?

Since the emperor no longer liked Li Jing in his heart, he thought more in his heart.

The ministers didn't expect the emperor to have such a plan at this time, and they all knelt there in a daze.

Looking at the reaction of the ministers, a burst of anger flashed in Li Yi's heart, his chest rose and fell several times, and he finally held back his anger and added: "Give Li Jing the title of Daxingtai in Northeast Dao, and the officials of Daxingtai will be appointed and dismissed by Li Jing himself." After Li Jing received the order, he immediately sent troops to attack Youzhou! ”

In the end, Li Yi would rather give Li Jing a big stage than give Li Jing a title of king.

When the ministers in the palace saw this, they thought about it, and they accepted it silently, and no one spoke out again! (To be continued......)
