Chapter 309: Chang'an (I)

Luoyang, Imperial Palace, Council Palace

At this time, the sun was setting, and the sun was shining on the fifty-acre square in front of the hall, and there were rows of shì guards along the way, all with cold faces, with a murderous aura, and they stood still.

The emperor lived here, and this is where the country is located, and it is heavily guarded.

In the main hall, the columns that can only be encircled by hugging each other support the high ceiling, and the slippery ground made of yù stone is ground, and there are no gaps between the blocks.

There are also carved huā patterns on it, beautiful, around the column, standing a hundred officials, the ministers expressed their opinions, and spoke one after another, but after a few hours of discussion, it was finally coming to an end.

Nine steps, on the middle of the steps on the throne of the emperor sits a person, wearing a formal crown dress, now all made of gold sè, the top is painted with the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountain, the dragon, the Chinese insect six chapter patterns, the bottom of the embroidered algae, fire, powder rice, Zongyi, 黼, 黻 six chapter patterns, and with twelve crowns.

At this time, Wang Hongyi was in a nine-fold position, with a smile, sitting on his knees with his hands lightly, looking at the officials below and discussing, with a calm expression.

The discussion of the "emperor" is almost over, and in the Luoyang area, Zhang You, who is the first civil official, stepped forward and said: "The Hu people are inward, and they have no time to look outside, and they are the time to unify Qinchuan and Liangzhou." ”

With this voice, the ministers came up one after another.

In particular, some generals all came forward to bow down with jī movements.

It's no wonder that the general couldn't hold his breath, the general knew the news of the Hu people's withdrawal of troops, and learned that the two states of the two states were successfully taken, looking at the whole world, it can be said that there is no strength to compete with the Dacheng Dynasty.

It's just that for the general, there are only three places left in the world: You, Qin, and Liang, and this is the final military achievement.

Wang Hongyi didn't speak first, and looked at the hall, and all the people in the hall were like cháo, each competing for yàn, and more than a dozen of them were green sè's luck.

At that time, Zheng Yujia, Mu Rong, Gao Xun, Huang Jie, and Shi Jiaqian had all been promoted to the position of commander through military exploits, and there were still seven or eight people, who were also generals pouring out of various armies.

Wang Hongyi examined these generals, all of them were burly, showing an iron-clad and fierce aura, and there was a satisfied expression in his eyes, and he said: "All Aiqing, since you have all agreed to take Qin Land first, then the matter is decided. ”

"Order the messenger to go to Qin, order the king of Qin to surrender, remove the king's name, and add it to the prince of Qin, if the king of Qin does not surrender...... The army pressed the border and took Chang'an, and during this time, the armies of all walks of life must be prepared. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the generals of His Royal Highness, these rising stars in the army are the main force, but Ding Huchen is the commander, and only he can effectively lead the armies from all walks of life.

"Your Majesty is wise" Hearing this, in an instant, the ministers all stood up and bowed, and the mountains shouted a tsunami: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

The purple gas in the hall was permeated, so that the people in the hall were infected, as if they were drunk.

Zhang Youzhi bowed, suddenly remembered that back then, he was dressed in white, and at this time Wang Hongyi was just the envoy of the two counties, I remember that one day, in the huā garden, a pot of wine, a few side dishes, the two monarchs and ministers met, poured wine for each other, and talked about future expectations and dreams.

Who would have thought that in just a few years, it has swept the world, and the monarch a few years ago is now in the ninth place, ruling the world?

However, Wang Hongyi was a little surprised at this time, when this strategy decided to choose, suddenly, there was a dark thunder in the hall, and the extremely rich purple qi rolled in.

Wang Hongyi's original white sè emperor air canopy was solidified again, and the slightest silk hung down.

Looking at it, the whole Chinese world is connected by rolling luck, and the tripod floats in the air, majestic and simple, suppressing the world.

Wang Hongyi's heart was full of joy, and he had decreed that the money and grain of the newly occupied prefectures and counties should be exempted and the victims of the disaster area should be relieved, which made the imperial court spend millions of stone of grain and receive one million taels of silver less.

However, the south has been ripe for several years, and by this time the customs system is quite mature, and it is stable at the level of six million taels of silver a year, and this money and grain can still be beaten.

After seizing Guanzhong and Liangzhou, there will only be Youzhou left in the world.

This territory has surpassed the Song Dynasty in history, and he is only twenty-four years old, and the years to come are still long, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to seize Youzhou and repeat the history of the Song Dynasty.

It can also be used both civil and military to create a Taoist system and a prosperous era, and the supreme power and Taoism of tens of millions of Li people can be unified with the sky and truly completely determined.

However, Wang Hongyi still came to his senses and said, "Let's get up, the Ministry of Rites will send a messenger to go." ”

Changan

The old capital of several dynasties, the city wall is majestic, even if the scenery is not there, the simple and majestic atmosphere is still coming.

Luoyang to Chang'an, the road is not far, ten days later, the envoy group came to Chang'an, but after entering the city, they lost their freedom, there are officials in the city responsible for reception, placed in the museum, but ordered them not to enter and exit easily.

At this time, all the outsiders withdrew, only the soldiers of the Qin army stood like nails in front of the mén, and the people of the envoy group were not in a hurry, some of them were of lower official quality, so they sorted out the documents in front of the case, and some of them had some sī banquets.

A small table, with several people on it, all of them were officials in the diplomatic corps.

Ji Yanshou ate a grain of huā raw rice with a chopstick, the burnt aroma was crispy, and said: "Master Li, I don't say when we will be arranged to meet here, is it deliberately consuming us?"

Listen, several people at the table are a little embarrassed.

Li Taiqiong is the main envoy, is the fourth product, at this time sat on the chair for a long time without saying a word, glanced at it, there was no one outside, and glanced at the table again, only to see that everyone was watching, there was a general.

This will be the military general of the envoy group, Zheng Wupin, whose name is Yue Shixing, is holding a braised elbow at the moment, feasting, and does not speak.

Li Taiqiong didn't dare to despise it, this will be ordered by the emperor, and he has seen the face of this on the road - he is decisive to kill along the way, and to deal with things clearly.

Li Taiqiong secretly sighed at the emperor's wisdom of knowing people, it seems that the people ordered by the emperor are all outstanding people, took a wine glass and drank, and said, "Come, everyone have a drink"

As he spoke, he poured another cup of self-drinking: "The Dacheng Dynasty has occupied seventy or eighty percent of the world, and Shu is the land of Longxing, and it has already accumulated 100,000 troops and countless grains and grass. ”

"Although Chang'an has Tongguan, but the emperor sits in Luoyang, the tiger is delayed, and the Chang'an army is suppressed and pinned down and cannot move, in this way, as long as we get Hanzhong in Shuzhong, from Yangping Pass, we can attack Chang'an, we can seize Liangzhou, it can be said that the overall situation has been decided. ”

Liu Song heard it and said with a smile: "If you think about it, it's really right, even if the Duke of Qin (King Qin) knows, he is helpless, this is Yangmou." ”

"So it's hard to say that the will of heaven is hard to violate" Ji Yanshou took another sip, and smiled with a smile on his face: "We came this time, just to do our best, and if the Duke of Qin can descend, we will be happy, and it can't be fate." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

"Hey, this battle can be peaceful, and if you get Youzhou again, the world will be decided, and you can enjoy peace in peace. Ji Yanshou sighed and smiled thoughtfully: "I think of the collapse of the world ten years ago, and now it really feels like a dream." ”

After a pause, he asked again: "I heard that the emperor is going to set up an official system in the township? Is there too many officials?"

"Dayan customized, Taizong said, only virtuous and talented officials are not necessary, but only their people, but after three generations of emperors, in less than a hundred years, there has been a great bad discipline, redundant official positions, and corrupt officials. Li Taiqiong smiled: "There were not many officials in the previous dynasty, but the power fell into the hands of the officials, in order to control the officials, the officials recruited the master's staff, so that the statistics are counted, in fact, the number of people is still inflated." ”

"Since ancient times, the officials have been integrated, the county has a county guard, the county has a county, the county has a county order, and the county has a pavilion chief, a husband, and a wanderer. ”

"In the future, the dynasties abolished this system, and only appointed county officials, and reduced officials and weight in the name of beauty, but in fact, the number of officials and staff was more than that in the pavilion, and it was irresponsible. ”

In view of this, the emperor restarted the system in the pavilion, and no longer allowed to have staff and supernumerary officials, the county set up a pavilion, a township pavilion for ten miles, set up a pavilion chief, is nine products, and set up a pavilion to manage the field tax, wandering patrol arrest, after the imperial examination, must first be a year of eunuchs, in order to be familiar with how much civil service, know their suffering, and then can be appointed pavilion chief, gradually upward. ”

"It is reported that if there is an official, there is a seal, and the pavilion chief also has a seal, but the Si Officials and Youbi do not have a seal, and the chief does not have a seal, and it is not an official, and it is launched by the people and approved by the county order. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all silent, originally in the Dayan system, if they won the Jinshi, they would directly become the eighth and seventh grade officials, so the benefits were great, but now, they can only start from small officials.

And when the old system was restored, the control of the imperial court was greatly improved.

Liu Song said: "This system is an ancient method, of course it is very good, but there must be more than a dozen li in each county, and there are also officials and wanderers in the county, but I am afraid that the number of registered officials will increase tenfold, how can this be affordable?"

It is also true that the size of the court officials must be commensurate with the financial resources and the affordability of the people.

Li Taiqiong only smiled and said: "In the past, which county order did not raise a dozen staff? After building a Li Pavilion, if you can get rid of the non-staff officials such as staff, sī officials, and masters, in fact, the number of officials will still be reduced a lot. ”

"And this dynasty is different from before, the customs tariff alone is six million taels per year, you know, the former dynasty field tax is only three million taels, this alone is more than enough to raise soldiers and officials. ”

This entered the discussion of government affairs, and when everyone said this, they all felt that they could not go on, and raised their glasses and drank.

Ji Yanshou said "um" and said: "This is far away, Dacheng opened the country, we can serve this great luck, if we can make some meritorious deeds, we will be crowned with wives and children in the future, we all have it, the emperor is benevolent, the reward is very generous, we all have to work hard." ”

Everyone nodded, the world will be peaceful in the future, even if you have a genius, you must rise all the way from the officials, pavilion chiefs, and county six Caozhong, and it is difficult to be promoted, but now is the last chance.

If you don't take advantage of this opportunity, the future will be relatively difficult in the future, thinking of this, everyone hopes that Guo Wentong can surrender without a fight, so that the envoy will have a great achievement, as for surrendering without a fight, a large number of prepared generals will lose the opportunity, this is not something for them to consider.
