Smelling the fragrance from the letter, Qin Wenyuan thought of the owner of "Tanchunfang" in his mind. However, he knew that this tigress was not an easy person to get along with, and he would fall into her gentle trap if he was not careful.
.
Thanks to the face of Princess Minmin, the Khitan envoy negotiated with Xu Jun to exchange 50,000 sheep for Xiao Zhan and other soldiers. Qin Wenyuan handed over the matter to Kilisu Gu for full authority, leaving behind only a large number of sheep.
Except for the portion allocated to the new Turkic tribes, the rest was used to reward the entire army.
After all the affairs of "Songmo" City were properly arranged, and when Zhong Hanting came to take office, Qin Wenyuan summoned Wu Ping, Ashisusi and other military generals to give instructions to the Yamen again, hoping that everyone would unite sincerely and "Songmo" City would be restored as soon as possible.
The military and political affairs of the country were clarified, so that people of all ethnic groups could live and work in peace and contentment, and vigorously develop commercial and trade activities.
One day later, Qin Wenyuan led his army to leave "Songmo" City.
After returning to "Lulong" city to rest for a day, Qin Wenyuan convened the officials and generals in the governor's office to discuss matters.
After all the military and political officials arrived, Qin Wenyuan first reported the war in "Songmo" City, and then described the overall development of western Liaoning and emphasized the direction of development, placing the completion of each matter on everyone's head.
All the officials happily accepted the order and brainstormed their suggestions and ideas on military and political matters in the yamen. After two consecutive days of meetings, Qin Wenyuan decided that when he was not in Pingzhou, Sima Yuntian would be in charge of the affairs of Pingzhou and the cities in western Liaoning.
Dealing with the political framework of western Liaoning negotiated by military and political officials such as Li Weidong, Zhong Hanting, Zhao Meng, Wu Ping, Zhao Wenxuan, Kilisu Gu, and You Qiguo.
This move was because Qin Wenyuan received news from Qizhou that Ping'er was close to giving birth. How could Qin Wenyuan, who was particularly concerned about his family, rest assured that while the cities in western Liaoning had been successfully taken over and developed, he
He had no choice but to be lazy and leave everything to Sima and his many confidants, so that he could rush back to Qizhou in his spare time.
On this day, the Dengzhou Navy happened to send officials who had been selected from Licheng to take up posts in Zhucheng in Pingzhou. After handing over these new officials to Sima Yuntian for proper placement, Qin Wenyuan led his guard battalion to board the battle
The ship sailed back to Dengzhou.
There is a new face in Qin Wenyuan's personal guard camp, but it is Shang Fei, the former general under Xiao Yi. When he received a letter from Sima Yuntian in "Songmo" City about this person, Qin Wenyuan also had some concerns in his heart.
Why don't you let this guy gain some experience in the training camp of the Qin family army so that he can return to western Liaoning and serve as a lieutenant general in the future?
When it comes to talents, Qin Wenyuan has always held the attitude that the more the better. The development of the entire Northeast region requires a large number of talents. However, these talents must adhere to the will of the Xu family. In other words, they are the officials of the Qin family. Their path is based on the Tang Dynasty.
The emperor of the dynasty was the monarch, but he actually implemented policies and laws that were different from those of the Tang Dynasty. The ultimate goal was to establish an independent city-state that was richer than the rest of the Tang Dynasty. Although it was ruled by the Tang Dynasty, it had its own opinions. It was very similar.
Qin Wenyuan saw the one country, two governance model in his previous life.
This was Qin Wenyuan's helpless move. His advanced understanding of history made him know that if he wanted to develop a place, he would not rule out the greed and interference of those who have vested interests in the empire. It would not work without a group of people with ideals and like-minded people.
, as long as he has strong power in his hands, he can act according to his ideals, and maybe one day this will change the structure of Datang and make it stronger.
The tall warship was equipped with twelve cannons at the front, rear, left and right. Several sentries and navigators on the ship's deck held telescopes to observe the situation on the sea and kept waving flags to direct the direction of navigation. Hundreds of people on the ship's hull were waving their hands and working hard. Shake the paddle board and raise and lower the high-hanging sail according to the wind direction, creating a busy scene.
Under the sun shining on the sparkling and somewhat dazzling sea, the large warship looked extremely small, like a small leaf on a forest swaying in the wind.
Qin Wenyuan stood on the deck and looked at the sea and sky, which suddenly evoked thousands of reverie...
Just when Qin Wenyuan was floating on the sea and his thoughts had gone nowhere, Li Shimin in the Tai Chi Hall felt very happy after reading the memorial sent by Pingzhou.
"This brat has lived up to my trust in him. He has stabilized the situation in western Liaoning within three months. Not bad, not bad!"
Li Shimin thought this, and said to the eunuch Liu Eunuch next to him with a happy smile on his face.
"Inform the ministers of all ministries to discuss matters in front of the hall!"
After Eunuch Liu received the emperor's order, Peipianpidian hurried out of the palace and ordered the eunuchs to go to various ministries to deliver the emperor's orders.
After a while, all the ministers came to the Taiji Hall. Li Shimin ordered the Hanlin scholar to read the memorial sent by Qin Wenyuan in Pingzhou. After listening, all the ministers knew the purpose of the emperor's summons.
After the Hanlin University scholar finished reading, all the ministers bowed and spoke.
"Congratulations to the Emperor for having such a talented person, so that there will be no more troubles in the land of the Tang Dynasty and western Liaoning. The Tang Dynasty is very lucky... very lucky...!"
After all the ministers congratulated each other, Li Shimin laughed and said.
"This boy has lived up to my expectations. It is difficult for him to straighten out the military affairs in western Liaoning in just three months. In order to ensure the smooth development of western Liaoning and influence the situation in eastern Liaoning, I want to reward this boy and his meritorious officials. Ministers think that how?"
"Your Majesty! Although Qin Wenyuan has made great contributions to the country, he killed too much. First he killed Xiao Yi, and then he killed the Khitan cavalry. The leader of the Khitan Dahe tribe came to the court to impeach the Xu army for colluding with the Turkic tribes to severely inflict heavy damage on the Khitan army and extort money. Tens of thousands of fat sheep have caused the Khitan to suffer heavy losses. If we reward Xu Tian and his men at this time, will it chill the hearts of the Khitan Great He clan alliance? Please think twice, Your Majesty."
Xiao Chaoxi, the minister of Zhongshu, came out and said.
"Well! I already know about this. This Dahe Alliance tribe is really hard to describe. All my dear friends, please discuss it!"
After saying this, Li Shimin leaned on the dragon couch and waited for the results of the ministers' deliberations...
The ministers in the Tai Chi Hall were whispering to each other and communicating in a low voice. The civil and military camps seemed to have somewhat different opinions. Some ministers smiled and nodded in agreement, and some ministers looked at each other angrily. If they had not been in front of the Emperor of Tai Chi Hall, they would have disagreed long ago. Blushing and quarreling.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Shimin squinted and looked at the ministers with interest, and he discovered an interesting phenomenon. All the ministers who had a rift with Qin Wenyuan all had the same opinion, remained silent, and smiled in harmony with each other. The ones who were optimistic about this kid were naturally on the side, while those who had some disputes were just followers of the wind and had absolutely no opinions of their own.
After a brief discussion among the ministers, Fang Xuanling first addressed the emperor.
"Your Majesty! The ministers thought that Qin Wenyuan was outstanding in ability, and he calmed down the chaos in western Liaoning with lightning speed. His contribution was very great. Although he killed Xiao Yi and the Khitan cavalry of the heroic army, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of History sent personnel to secretly investigate and report back.
From the memorial, it seems that he did it out of necessity. The imperial court had already received the report about Prince Tao of Songmo City colluding with the Khitan to bring disaster to the people, but it was just considering the overall situation in western Liaoning and never interfered. This killing should be
As expected, as for the Dahe Alliance, its tribal cavalry made a big mistake by sending troops privately. The leaders of the Mohui just wanted some face, and the court could just issue an order to comfort them. In view of the development in western Liaoning, Wei
I would like to ask your Majesty to reward that boy with his true rights."
After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Du Ruhui continued.
"Your Majesty! The two states of Ping and Ying in Liaoxi have always been the barriers to the northeastern part of the Tang Dynasty. Songmo City is the frontier against the intrusion of the Tang Dynasty by the Khitan, Mohe, Shiwei, Xi and other ethnic groups. No one is as smart as a demon or as brave as iron.
It is really inappropriate for a great civil and military genius to be able to do things without leaving any traces. Isn’t that guy just such a talent? The minister agrees with Lord Fang’s suggestion and asks the Emperor to make a final decision.”
Hearing what the two prime ministers said, those ministers who had no opinions of their own and did not get involved in other people's grievances nodded their heads one after another, and voices of support spread throughout the palace.
Seeing Li Shimin's expression of joy, Xiao Yu relied on his family's power in the court and bowed with a gloomy expression.
"Your Majesty! I have my own secret mission."
Li Shimin frowned and spoke softly with some dissatisfaction.
"Come and listen!"
"Your Majesty! It's not because Wei Chen is dissatisfied with Qin Wenyuan's execution of his own children and is speaking out here. In fact, it is for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. Considering Xu Tian's evil deeds in the past, Wei Chen thinks that the emperor must not give him more power.
, thinking that the Qin family has already occupied several cities in Qizhou, Henan, and Hebei. If they control Liaoxi again, they may form an invincible trend. What should the emperor do at that time? The minister thinks that the imperial court should not do the meritorious service.
The officers were rewarded, but Qin Wenyuan was severely scolded so that he would not dare to act rashly. At the same time, the court should send ministers in charge of military affairs in western Liaoning to control Qin Wenyuan."
"Then tell me who can take on this important responsibility?"
After listening to what Xiao Yu said, Li Shimin said immediately.
"Wei Chen thinks that King Ren Cheng and Li Daozong, the Minister of Punishment, can take on this important task. The important town in western Liaoning should be controlled by the clan and royal family. This is a big plan!"
"Father! I think what Mr. Xiao said is reasonable. I am afraid that only the emperor's uncle can control the land in western Liaoning."
Prince Li Chengqian bowed and echoed Xiao Yu's words.
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and then looked at the military commander who had been silent until then and started talking.
"Li Jing, what do you think of Qin Shiji?"
Li Jing and Qin Shiji were stunned. They did not want to participate in such a sensitive court discussion. The reason was that Li Jing knew the details very well. One mistake might destroy the situation that Qin Wenyuan had finally opened, while Qin Shiji
Because of his relationship with Qin Wenyuan's uncle and nephew, it was difficult to ask the emperor to promote his nephew to a higher rank.
When the two of them didn't answer, Cheng Yaojin came out with a big "hehe" smile and said.
"Your Majesty! I think what Xiao Yu and the prince said is inappropriate. There is a rift between that boy and Prince Li Daozong. If the prince is sent to western Liaoning to control him at this time, I am afraid that good things will not end well. That boy's temper is not good, Your Majesty.
He should know very well that it is better to let that kid do his own thing in western Liaoning. The development of western Liaoning will surely get on the right track soon and not die in the middle. I would like to ask the emperor to think twice before making a decision."
"Your Majesty! The minister thinks that the complicated situation in western Liaoning is not suitable for governing with many people. If the prince goes to western Liaoning to control Xu Tian, what if the two people have different political opinions? Moreover, Qin Wenyuan has a large army, and the Qin family army only obeys his orders. The emperor knows that
This kid has no ambitions. He only acts based on his ideals. This kid has a big plan. From what he has done recently, the emperor should know that the land in western Liaoning is just the place where this kid wants to pacify Liaodong and the entire Northeast region.
Preliminary preparations, if the imperial court puts the bridle on this good horse at this time, I dare to say that this boy will definitely abandon the affairs of Liaoxi, and may go to sea to find another place to realize what he wants in his heart. As I said, please
Your Majesty, think twice."
After hearing what Cheng Yaojin and Li Jing said, Li Shimin asked again.
"What do you think Shiji thinks?"
"Your Majesty! Weichen doesn't need to say anything. In fact, the Emperor must know that boy better than Weichen. I think the Emperor has already made a conclusion in his heart, and Weichen can agree with it no matter what."
"Aren't you afraid that I will blame you for being so naughty?"
Li Shimin's face turned serious after joking to Qin Shiji. He agreed with Li Jing's words in his heart, and his understanding of Qin Wenyuan might really be as Li Jing said.
I would be so angry that this kid would be half-dead. Fortunately, this kid has no second thoughts about the Tang Dynasty. He only does what he thinks can be done in his heart. He is really a freak. But this kid has extraordinary abilities. He doesn't dare to do things that others can't think of.
He did what he wanted, and the results were gratifying...
After pondering for a while, Li Shimin finally came to a conclusion as Qin Shiji said. In fact, this was also his original thought.
"Declaration! In view of the special nature of Western Liaoning, the imperial court does not need to have too many details in military and political affairs there. Qin Wenyuan is conferred the title of General Zuo Xiaowei of the third rank, Doctor Yin Qingguang?, envoy to Ping Liao and controls military and political affairs in Western Liaoning.
Several city officials were allowed to appoint themselves and were rewarded with 300 pieces of silk. This time, all the meritorious officers and soldiers were promoted to one level and rewarded with 100 pieces of silk. Western Liaoning should prepare for defense and development of people's livelihood, and at the same time be prepared to pacify Liaodong.
When the time comes, we will take complete control of the Northeast."
The emperor's oral instructions were accompanied by academicians who drafted the decrees. When the emperor finished speaking, the academicians immediately stopped writing and presented the drafted decrees.
After Li Shimin read the imperial edict, he took the jade seal, covered it, and handed it over to Zhongshu Ling Xiao, who ordered all ministers to send eunuchs to Pingzhou to deliver the edict.
Seeing that Qin Wenyuan had received this honor, Xiao Yu felt extremely resentful. After he retired from the court, he took a carriage to the "Zhao Guogong" mansion to find his eldest grandson Wuji who was reflecting at home.
When the two met, Xiao Yu said sarcastically to Changsun Wuji with a gloomy face.
"Have you forgotten that your son was disabled? I heard that the attacks on the eldest son of your family and the eldest princess of Tong'an were also caused by that bastard Qin Wenyuan. Don't you want to do something to vent your anger?"
…
Changsun Wuji saw Xiao Yu coming to the mansion for some unknown reason. After hearing what Xiao Yu said, he knew it well. He secretly thought that this guy must have heard something in the court again and he was unable to deal with it. He came here just for lust.
Just use your own strength to attack Qin Wenyuan.
They are all old foxes. Who the hell doesn’t know what the other person is thinking!
"Master Xiao must be unwilling to do so but has no choice but to stop Qin Wenyuan. If you have any ideas, you might as well come to me and listen to me!"
