Chapter 1,690 Interview

In June, all four roads in Hebei Province were transferred to Su You, one good thing and one bad thing.

The good thing is that the 500-mile widening project of Jingxing Road, another road in Dingxiang, Taiyuan, has been completed. The newly widened road can accommodate two vans running in parallel. The communication between Hedong Road and Hebei No. 3 Road has become closer. From then on, the rich mineral deposits in the hinterland of Taihang,

It can be transported out continuously to make up for the needs of the four routes.

The bad thing is that Li Xian, the Supervisor and Supervisor of the Four Routes of Hebei Province, died.

In real history, Li Xian was awarded the title of Emperor Shenzong because he was the only one who captured Lanzhou due to the defeat of all the other forces in attacking Xia.

However, he and Shen Kuo failed in the rescue of Yongle City, which led to the defeat of Yongle City, and he was violently impeached by the ministers.

Later, although he had meritorious service in guarding Lanzhou, he was severely criticized again because of his cruel nature and greed for merit, and finally ended up being dismissed and demoted.

To be fair, Li Xian at least achieved a rare victory among the Song army at that time. The attack on him by the courtiers was not only due to Li Xian's own shortcomings, but also the natural hostility of civil servants to the eunuchs who led troops.

At that time, some court officials even shouted such nonsensical slogans as "The Western Qiang will cause little harm, but appointing Li Xian will cause great harm; Li Xian's ineffectiveness will cause small harm, and Li Xian's meritorious service will cause great harm."

But in this time and space, the civil servants had a much better attitude towards Li Xian, because the Song Dynasty now had civil servants who could crush Li Xian.

Suyou.

Apart from occasionally playing pranks on the lieutenants, Su You actually had no prejudice against them.

As long as you can do your job well, you are a good comrade.

The lieutenants also had direct experience and knew that Su You really treated them as human beings without any discrimination, so they interpreted his prank as Situ trying to show off in front of the civil servants.

In fact, he is one of our own, we just don't dare to get too close.

It's a joke, but Situ will never discount the honor and credit that should be given just because he is a middle-ranking official, let alone hide it in a greedy manner. He will always give it directly to Heaven.

The Zhongguan can leave a reputation with the emperor, which is more important than anything else.

Sure enough, Su You once again adhered to his usual style, recounted Li Xian's achievements, and asked the court to recognize his merits and give him preferential treatment.

He also took the initiative to sort out his memorials and found that there were as many as seventy volumes, mainly containing his views on the northwest military.

What's even more bizarre is that thirty volumes of "Economy and Financial Use" were also found in Li Xian's home!

This was the time when Li Xian continued to guard Lanzhou after Su You left Ningxia. Zhao Xu changed Xihe Road to Xihe Lanhui Road and ordered Li Xian to promote the Department of Defense and Finance on Xihe Lanhui Road. Li Xian developed according to Su You

The strategy of Hexi, combined with the special local economic conditions of the Hexi Corridor and the prosperous commerce of Lanzhou, is a great work on the raising, allocation and use of strategic funds for northwest border defense.

I don’t know why, after Li Xian organized the shogunate to complete this work, he didn’t report it to the court or tell anyone!

After Su You studied it, he found that the value of this book was even far greater than the seventy volumes of "Memorial".

If Su You introduced Li Xianyi as an intermediary official and responded with prejudice, this document on the economic organization of the Northwest during the war may have disappeared in the long river of history!

A "Grandma Li" with a reckless personality, arrogant and brutal fighting methods, and a "flattery" allusion with the flattering disciple Peng Sun, full of the nonsensical style of the illiterate warlords of the Republic of China, actually did such a big thing quietly.

!

It is estimated that Li Xian also felt inferior to his identity and reputation, and believed that even if he was sent to the court, he would not be taken seriously, and would even attract attacks from court officials, saying that he was greedy and ruthless.

This masterpiece is kept secret at home.

Su You personally wrote the preface to this work. As the commander-in-chief of the Pingxia Campaign and the founder of the subsequent construction of Ningxia, he gave this work a very high evaluation and believed that it not only has historical value, but also academic value and

strategic value.

At the end of the preface, he also expressed his speculation about the reason why Li Xianjiang kept this secret to others, and pointed out the popular prejudice among scholar-bureaucrats, which was not in line with the principles of nature and human relations, and was a manifestation of lack of self-confidence and arrogance.

Gao Taotao didn't have any opinion about Li Xian, but after Su You revealed the dark side in the hearts of the scholar-bureaucrats, everyone began to look at the life of this lieutenant with new eyes again.

In this time and space, Li Xian's achievements are actually similar to those in the real time and space, but Su You was so powerful that he destroyed Jiaozhi and the Xia Kingdom, so that Granny Li's achievements were not wiped out in the list of defeats.

The imperial court finally posthumously awarded Li Xianyou the title of General Wuwei, Military Commander of Wutai Army, and his posthumous title Minke.

The imperial edict summarizes Li Xian's achievements:

"With the people in the middle serving as curtain guards and being prepared to listen to Mo's instructions, they can control the outsiders immediately, so that they can restore the territory and reduce their canal rate.

He set up a formation and marched with his troops, and there was a famous general named Feng Lie.

As for the decisive victory against the enemy, even if he is defeated, he will still have a chance.

Bizi Lintao led his troops to defeat the Chou captives and restore his home territory. He marched among the Qiang with drums and repeatedly won victories."

But Li Xian's death also caused problems. There were 80,000 new troops in the Hebei Fourth Route and there were no supervisory troops.

However, there is no shortage of eunuchs. There is a Song Yongchen who can get a stone for every stone.

However, Song Yongchen was an engineer and knew nothing about military management. When Shi Deyi was young, he only served as a guard with military equipment. Later, he only led the telegraph team in the palace and worked in the Imperial City Department. He also had no military experience and was highly qualified.

Taotao hates him very much.

Finally, Gao Taotao appointed another eunuch from the capital, Liu Weijian.

Liu Weijian served as the envoy of the Zhao Dynasty, the governor of Kangzhou, and the military commander of Gaoyangguan Road.

When the Yingzong was first established, Liu Weijian came to the court from Hebei. He asked the palace officials to question him at the door of his dormitory, but they only led him to see the Empress Dowager Cao.

Liu Weijian left His Royal Highness Funing without leaving. The rain had soaked his clothes. Yingzong stood up and looked at the curtain. He called out and asked: "How many people are like you on the road? Why are you here alone?"

Liu Weijian said to him: "Your Majesty has newly ascended the throne, and his ministers came from the frontier fortress. They did not dare to return without looking at the sky. I don't know anything else."

Yingzong sighed and said: "I know what I am doing." So he wrote his name on the screen.

When Zhao Xu came to the throne, he looked at the screen inscribed by Yingzong and discovered Liu Weijian's name, so he promoted him to Yanfu Palace and became a confidant from then on.

When Jiaozhi conspired to rebel, Zhao Xu sent Liu Weijian to investigate first. Liu Weijian came back and told Zhao Xu: "The handsome minister Liu Yi is greedy for merit and causes trouble, and he should be punished for his crime. A virtuous boy with a weak neck has no ties."

As a result, the Jiaozhi rebellion became so powerful that the Song Dynasty was in a hurry.

During the battle of Jiaozhi, Liu Weijian was working under Guo Kui. After the Song Dynasty found that Jiaozhi was very difficult to defeat, he urgently appointed Su You to put out the fire.

Although he ultimately won, Liu Weijian was deprived of an official position due to previous intelligence errors.

During the Five-Road Expedition to Xia, Liu Weijian was at home guarding the border and had no interaction with Su You.

Later, he reviewed the case of Baojia, Hebei Province, helped with the flood disaster in the west of Beijing, and participated in the recommendation of various tombs. He was considered to have some merits. However, because of the eunuch's old habit of being greedy for ink, he was impeached and removed from office by the official.

As a result, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. After Liu Weijian was deprived of his job, Shenzong thought that he was an old man, loyal and had meritorious service, so he ordered him to take care of Zhao Xu. As a result, he became Zhao Xu's old friend again.

From that time on, Su You and Liu Weijian had some interactions.

Su You didn't know whose will it was to send Liu Weijian to supervise the army, but this candidate was quite good for the country, the army, and himself.

…

Geng Yin ordered all the roads to be appeased, and Qian was in charge of the division. Together with Xijing and Nanjing, each was given the authority to govern and supervise one department.

The Liao State sent envoy Xiao Di, deputy envoy of Chongyi Army, deputy envoy Zhongdafu, and guardian Taichang Shaoqing. They were appointed as Qianwen Pavilion and were waiting for the king to come to congratulate Kun on the festival.

In addition, the Liao delegation also brought a team of 120 people studying science and engineering, and Su You received them in Daming Mansion.

Some of these people are in their forties or fifties, but the leader is Shi Chun's son Shi Gong.

The Liao people's attire, the upper body is more like work clothes, which is what a nomadic people on horseback should look like.

However, Shi Gong's upper body clothes were made of blue canvas. Su You could tell at a glance that they were the ones Li Yong wore when he was on his mission to the Liao Kingdom. He couldn't help but smile and said: "The minister is not out of his nature of science and engineering, but is similar to one of my ministers."

.”

Shi Gong bowed and said: "Three generations of the Li family have made great contributions to the water conservancy of the Liao Dynasty. To this day, many families in the south of the country have set up memorial tablets. As the saying goes, 'If a peach or plum does not say anything, it will create a trail of its own.'

I have always admired him for his bright sect and profound knowledge. How lucky I am to see him today."

Su You quickly helped him up: "Brother, you're too polite. I am the person I admire when I make you the official minister. The Liao Kingdom is different from the Song Dynasty. In terms of academic atmosphere, book collection, and folk craftsmanship, they are not the same as the Song Dynasty."

language."

"A person who is not strong-minded and outstanding will never be able to achieve your achievements. Last winter, in the winter of last year, I asked a merchant from Liao to bring him a silk quilt. Did he receive it?"

Shi Gong said gratefully: "My master is old and afraid of the cold, can't withstand the smoke and fire, and his fur is too heavy. With the silk quilt given by Situ, last winter will be much better. This time Shi Gong envoy Song, the master of the family specially asked me to

I need to thank Situ in person. By the way..."

After saying that, he took a mat from the attendant and said, "This is a sable fur mat from the far north. It's disrespectful for me to come and not go back. Please accept it, Situ."
