The weather in Tubo in June is pleasant, sunny and comfortable.
The vigorous implementation of farm distribution to each household has been carried out for more than a month. All farmland in Luoxucheng has been allocated, all slaves have been abolished, and the four types of people are re-separated according to the status of peasants, farmers, industry and commerce. It is not forced, the principle of voluntariness, the people's hearts are stable, and every family is actively opening up wasteland, just because
Qin Huaidao issued an order: whoever opens it will own it.
Who doesn't want to have more land in their hands, even if they only have the right to use it, they will be able to produce food in the future. With the food, they can add more people to the family, and the family can prosper.
On this day, Qin Huaidao finally waited for the imperial edict. The godson of Wang De, the chamberlain who announced the edict, was also an acquaintance of Qin Huaidao. He was escorted by a team of Qianniu Guards and was an old acquaintance. After a process, Qin Huaidao picked him up.
According to the imperial edict, Duan Zan was asked to help bring Haosheng there to entertain him, and he took the imperial edict to the side hall that was often used for office work.
After sitting down, Qin Huaidao's springy expression disappeared and became colder. He had been having a bad temper in front of the chamberlain and the Qianniu Guards just now, so he could no longer hold back at this moment.
"You actually want to make yourself dead." Qin Huaidao murmured coldly, opened the imperial edict and read it carefully, not missing any word on it. He felt bad when he heard that he was granted the title of county king just now.
I didn't listen carefully, but when I read it again, I had some other thoughts in my mind.
The imperial edict clearly states that both the recommender and the substitute are Xiao Yu. How could this bastard recommend him with good intentions if he doesn't deal with him? He must have evil intentions. The question is why did Li Er agree? Is there any reason for this?
After thinking about it, Qin Huaidao had some understanding. Xiao Yu must have raised it openly in the court, listed his merits, and then cited the court's laws as an excuse for Li Er to refute. However, Xiao Yu was obviously not enough. Li Jing and other countries
The Guild objected, but why did it still pass?
However, this is no longer important. What is important is how to deal with it.
It is a rule to accept an order. You must not refuse to accept it. Otherwise, it will be disobedient to the imperial edict, disobey the holy will, and a crime of great disrespect. Even if you have to lose your head, you will have to peel off your skin. But after receiving the order, you can resign, or even find a reason to ask the Holy Spirit to change the reward. Anyway,
The prince cannot bear it, he will be roasted on the fire and become a leader.
Moreover, if you really become the governor of Tubo, you will have to be busy to death, which is not what you want. Moreover, in the bitter and cold land of Tubo, it doesn't matter what you want. It is hard to get some supplies to improve life in Chang'an. Wouldn't it be nice to go back and enjoy it?
It's good to come down here, why should I have to let Li Er govern.
Qin Huaidao decisively refused, but it was definitely not possible to refuse directly. He had to have a reasonable excuse. Pretending to be sick was not enough, as it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and it was also a crime of disrespect. It was not enough to say that he was not talented enough, so he could only ask for a change in the reward.
, asking for money is a good way.
However, Li Er died in poverty and was still digging for little money. Moreover, the reason for asking for money was not strong enough. What if the court gave him a sum of money and he still wanted to continue doing it? It would not make sense to make excuses at that time.
If we can find it right at once, what excuse can we make?
Qin Huaidao, who had never worried about facing thousands of troops, didn't know what to do.
After racking my brains for a while, I started to have a headache. I couldn't help but think of He'er in my house. It would be nice if He'er's son was around and could help massage his head. I don't know what's going on with this caring little girl.
Suddenly, Qin Huaidao thought of a way - to get a woman!
Isn't that how movies and TV dramas are played? Either you are greedy for loot, or you are killing prisoners to ruin your reputation, or you are looking for a woman. If you can't do such worthless things as greedy for loot and killing prisoners, you can ask Li Er for a woman, even though you have Yu Zhang.
, asking for another one will definitely anger Li Er. Wouldn’t Li Er have an excuse to withdraw the reward in anger?
Qin Huaidao is not stupid. Li Er always writes imperial edicts himself, and the worst is Wang De or Fang Xuanling. This time, he actually asked Xiao Yu to write for him. He made it clear that he did not want to reward him like this, but he had to reward him for some reason. Now
His son was waiting for him to resign in Chang'an.
As long as he wants another princess, all the officials will be furious, and the princes can use this as an excuse to accuse themselves of being arrogant, arrogant, and not virtuous enough to be crowned a county king. Li Er can take the opportunity to withdraw the imperial edict. Of course,
He won't really reward himself with a princess. If two princesses marry one, they can't afford to lose that person.
Therefore, asking for a princess is the best excuse. It can arouse the anger of the white officials. The princes will have an excuse to speak, and Li Er will have an excuse to withdraw the imperial edict.
Some silver was given as a reward, all parties were satisfied, and the matter was settled perfectly.
Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao admired his quick wit, and quickly wrote two letters. One of them explained the latest situation in Tubo, and each one was written in detail to avoid Li Erqi's suspicion. The other one asked for his resignation, not only his resignation.
, even the governor-general refused, he just wanted to marry more wives and have children, and pass on the family legacy. Anyway, he had refused with the same words at the beginning, and everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knew that he wanted to marry more wives and have children.
There is no shame in having more wives!
As soon as the letter was written, Duan Zan hurried over and said sincerely: "My lord, I would like to congratulate you. From now on, I must call you the county king..."
"Stop it. If you don't want me to die, don't yell." Qin Huaidao quickly stopped him. He must not open his head and printed the envelope.
Duan Zan was a little confused. Wasn't the imperial edict issued?
It was complicated. Qin Huaidao didn't want to explain it to Duan Zan, but warned: "Remember, don't shout or dress indiscriminately, otherwise I will not let you go easily. Take me to see where the person is."
Duan Zan was a little surprised, but seeing that Qin Huaidao didn't seem to be joking, he quickly agreed and led Qin Huaidao to an inn and found the waiter who was resting.
After Qin Huaidao asked Duan Zan to leave, he handed two letters to his chamberlain, told them to pass them on, and then asked: "I must be tired after coming from a long distance, but I have been away from Chang'an for a long time and have no news. I would like to know something about the current situation. Please tell me something.
"
"You're welcome, Your Excellency." The waiter said politely and explained in detail the recent events in Chang'an.
Qin Huaidao didn't expect that someone would jump out after leaving for a while, destroy his own barbecue bar, and assassinate He'er. He became more determined to go back. He couldn't do anything if he stayed in Tubo. It wouldn't take long. His hard work some time ago came to nothing.
Liquor and other achievements will become someone else's. How can we tolerate this?
And that Gao Shilian, who has no grievances and no enmity, why did he jump out to attack himself? Could it be that he is part of the hidden prince group?
After asking for many details in detail, Qin Huaidao left with a straight face. He returned to the side hall and did not allow anyone to disturb him. He sat alone for a long time.
After dinner, Xue Rengui brought a large vat of stew with wild vegetables in it. Since the 300,000 Dongfang army went south, the Tang army no longer had the need to garrison the city. Xue Rengui and Zhang Yu led the army back, and even those who had taken refuge
The Tubo army was also dragged by Qin Huaidao to open up wasteland, imitating the practices of the agricultural reclamation army and making them self-sufficient.
Xue Rengui is a trustworthy person, so Qin Huaidao told the news one by one, and finally added: "You are not a regular Tang army, there is no need to stay behind, bring the hot air balloon and the village guard team back first, I am not worried about the safety of my house."
"Okay, let's leave right away, okay?" Xue Rengui did not refuse.
"After eating, we drove all night. The sooner we get there, the better. I tell everyone not to tell anyone about Tubo. It's best not to mention that I've been to Tubo. Let Uncle Jia continue to decorate the barbecue bar. The family can't lose the income. That old bastard Xiao Yu
You have done something wrong to me, but there is no proof, so it is not easy to retaliate directly. I will wait until I get back, but it is not a loss. The Holy Spirit ransacked my house and gave me even the property and house as compensation. The eunuch sent a message that more than thirty pounds of silver were found.
"
"What does he want at his age?" Xue Rengui couldn't figure it out.
Qin Huaidao couldn't understand either. He just made a rough guess and said nonchalantly: "I will decide this matter after I go back to check the details. You can go back and ignore it. In addition, the money seized has been sent to the house. The house is given to you. It's just right."
My sister-in-law and I need a place to live, but we haven’t bought one yet.”
"No, it's too big and ostentatious."
"Listen to me, just take it. I didn't ask for money anyway. You are my eldest brother and the hero of the Tubo War. You will definitely be rewarded heavily when you go back. Promotion and title are indispensable. Who dares to gossip? Let Uncle Jia pay the reward when you go back. You
I won’t give it to you. Each person participating in the war will receive one thousand guan. I will write a letter for you to take back later.”
Xue Rengui couldn't refuse anymore and nodded gratefully, feeling infinite emotions inexplicably in his heart. He didn't want to stay and be killed by the Taiyuan Wang family, so he ran out with no other choice. He had no confidence in his heart and didn't see much hope. He didn't expect that it would be short-lived.
In less than a year, I had a big house in Chang'an, a lot of money, and maybe even a title or official title. It was like a dream.
He became more and more determined to follow Qin Huaidao in his life.
