Since ancient times, the harm caused by snow disasters has never been easier than the disasters of water and fire. Traffic congestion, poor information, and insufficient production resources often cause a snow disaster to inflict harm on countless people, especially those farmers living outside the city and herdsmen near the frontier fortress.
was deeply harmed by it.
If such a heavy snow had occurred in the early years of Zhenguan, it would have been a natural disaster that affected the entire Guanzhong. Even though Guanzhong was the heart of the country and gathered the most powerful human and material resources of the Tang Empire, it would still have to suffer from such a snow disaster.
The government was helpless, resulting in countless people dying of cold and starvation and becoming homeless.
If it is outside Gyeonggi, it may even trigger a huge refugee flow, and countless people will become refugees...
However, since the establishment of the "Emergency Yamen", whenever there was a natural disaster, all relevant Yamen in the imperial court would be linked together to distribute materials, organize rescues, coordinate resettlement, and even involve garrisons from all over the country to participate in rescue and rescue operations. The effect was surprisingly good.
Guanzhong has not experienced large-scale casualties or epidemics due to natural disasters for many years.
Therefore, whenever a natural disaster strikes and the government and the army participate in the rescue under the assignment of the yamen officials, the people will burst into tears of gratitude and will increasingly respect Fang Jun, who established such a yamen when he was in charge of Jing Zhaoyin.
As the victory of the Battle of Hexi came, Fang Jun became a hero with "both civil and military skills" and was worshiped by countless people. And those rebellious dandies regarded Fang Jun as a role model that they admired throughout their lives.
, the benchmark to strive for.
Fang Jun's name is unparalleled.
…
After the heavy snowfall, Xingqing Palace was covered in silver, and all the palace buildings were hidden under the frost and snow, making them appear more crystal clear, exquisite and gorgeous.
Li Chengqian was sitting in the flower hall, drinking hot tea and looking at the rockery pavilions carved out of ice and jade outside the glass window. Different from the grandeur and solemnity of Taiji Palace, Xingqing Palace is more gentle and beautiful, just like Jiangnan.
With its beautiful mountains and rivers, no wonder Emperor Gaozu chose this place to live in seclusion after he ascended the throne. It is indeed more suitable for health preservation.
Opposite him, Xiao Yu and Cen Wenwen were reading the battle report that Fang Jun had sent to Chang'an. The more they read, the more frightened they became, and their expressions were extremely ugly.
The Guanlong clan blindly managed the Western Region, constantly placing their own children in the Anxi Protectorate, controlling the power of the Protectorate, and treating the Silk Road as their own territory. While greedily grabbing profits, they also excluded dissidents, which resulted in the imperial court's control over the Western Region.
Surrender again and again, how could they, the big men of the imperial court, not know?
It's just that the Guanlongmen Clan has become so powerful in recent years that they have been overwhelmed by the pressure in the court. How can they still have the energy to organize the Guanlongmen Clan to manage the Western Regions?
Furthermore, various exchanges of interests and political compromises in private made them turn a blind eye.
However, they never expected that in order to continue to monopolize the interests of the Western Region, the Guanlong clan actually colluded with the Turks. The Arabs sent troops deep into the hinterland of the Western Region, informed the whereabouts of the Youtun Guards, and tried their best to cooperate with the intention to annihilate the Youtun Guards...
It’s so heartbreaking!
Political struggles also have a bottom line. No matter how much interest is exchanged, political compromise cannot be unscrupulous. Such acts of collaboration with the enemy and treason are absolutely not allowed to exist.
Cen Wenwen is already old, his beard and hair are all white, and he even suffered from a serious illness in the summer. However, he recovered after winter and is now in good spirits. At this moment, he slapped the table in front of him with his palms, raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "It's simply
Bastards! This gang of traitors who only seek personal gain and have no regard for righteousness will be punished by everyone! Your Highness should immediately summon the Three Law Divisions to open the case for investigation. Once verified, no matter what family the traitors come from, what official position they hold, or what title they hold.
, he should be thrown into jail and severely punished!"
Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "The matter is so big, how can we be so rash? We might as well write to Liaodong first and ask your Majesty to make a decision."
He is well aware of the intricate relationships between various clans. Once the case is investigated with great fanfare and everyone in the world knows it, there will be no room for change. And once the Guanlong clan is involved in this case, they will be severely punished by national law.
Next, who knows which company or valve will be implicated?
If he is involved in a big way, the government and the opposition will be shaken.
At present, Chang'an is already in a state of unrest, and various forces are secretly wrestling with each other. If such a major case breaks out, the slightest carelessness will lead to the collapse of the situation, and even worse consequences may occur...
Cen Wenwen was furious and yelled: "Absurd! I also know that this case is very involved and can easily lead to the collapse of the government. However, the national law is at the forefront. How can we care about some difficulties before the big right and wrong are done? If this case is not severely punished today,
In the future, others will follow suit, how will you treat me?"
He turned to look at Li Chengqian, his face flushed, and his tone was sonorous: "Your Highness, this matter is difficult and the consequences are unpredictable, but the majesty of the national law must be demonstrated clearly, and no blasphemy is allowed! If you take a step back today, you will be punished tomorrow.
Take two steps back, back and forth, where will the law of the country be?"
Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "Old man, please be patient and don't get angry. It would be terrible if you get hurt."
He had a headache.
Although he has a softer temper, he is definitely not stupid. Xiao Yu advocates long-term planning and writes to his father to ask him to decide the matter. This is definitely not what he said, fearing that it would be deeply implicated and affect the political stability of the government.
The Longmen clan is very close, who knows if their family will be involved? Cen Wenwen is full of anger and looks righteous, but he may not really be serious about showing the majesty of the national law and severely punishing lawbreakers. These people in the court are a carrot and a trap.
, maybe I don’t have some thoughts about replacing it...
In fact, among the officials at the top and bottom of the imperial court, how many of them sincerely consider the interests of the empire, and act from the perspective of the interests of the empire in everything they do?
Overt and covert fighting has become the norm. Whether this case is handled in a big way or not, some people will suffer from it, and some will benefit from it.
Even if he is the supreme emperor, how can he ever distinguish between right and wrong?
Sometimes you know you are wrong, but you have to do it reluctantly. The truth is just four words - consider the overall situation.
But he wasn't going to compromise on this matter.
He can tolerate ministers fighting for power, he can tolerate intrigues, and he can tolerate frame-ups, but he cannot tolerate collaborating with the enemy and treason, colluding with the enemy in an attempt to kill his own lord!
That's all for the Turks. The Great Food Country is at war with the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions and has occupied most of the Western Region Protectorate. There are actually people who dare to risk the disapproval of the world and secretly collude with the Great Food People to lead them all the way into the hinterland of the Western Regions, and
How can you bear to hand over Baishui Town, which guards the traffic chokepoint of Tianshan Mountains, to others?
If they endure it, will those people tomorrow give Yumen Pass and Dashan Pass to the Hu people, and then lead the Hu people to invade Chang'an, and then give away the country of Tang Dynasty?
Of course, he can't just insist on cracking down with strong emotions, he still has to pay attention to some strategies.
After all, although he is now more stable as the crown prince than before, he has not yet completely secured his position, and his position is still unstable. If he severely warns the Long clan to shut down the clan and resolutely cracks down on him, and punishes him seriously, those guys will inevitably start to attack his throne again.
.
A blow must be struck, but having a strong head in front to attract firepower is not a bad thing...
He hesitated for a while, put down the tea cup, and said to Cen Wenwen with a look of helplessness: "The old man is a veteran of two dynasties. He has always been loyal and strong. My father and I respect him very much. This time, I feel the same way about correcting the law of the country. But now.
The court is in turmoil, and my father is far away in Liaodong. If the case is too harsh, it may seem like it is upholding the fairness of national law, but in fact it will easily cause some people to become frightened and resentful, and they may do something terrible.
Something happened... Gu was appointed to supervise the country, but he lacked prestige and lacked moral character. He was always trembling and walking on thin ice, fearing that he would make mistakes and lead to the collapse of the government and the instability of the country. He had failed to fulfill the trust of his father. Therefore, this case
Although it is serious, how to deal with it requires long-term consideration..."
Xiao Yu blinked his eyes, thinking who said that the prince was kind, innocent, and ignorant of strategy? Listening to what he said, he was thinking about the overall situation, and advised Cen Wenwen to be forbearing, but in fact everyone
The words are all in flames, all I have to say is, "As a prince alone, I cannot charge into battle, Cen Aiqing, you go first"...
This is not at all a question of whether Cen Wenwen was fooled or not, but a matter of telling Cen Wenwen, "You take the lead in the charge, and I will watch the enemy's formation and give you full support."
Cen Wenwen himself has his own interests, which are contrary to those of Guanlong Clan. Moreover, now that Guanlong Clan has handed the handle of the knife to Cen Wenwen, he can legitimately suppress Guanlong Clan. With the support of the prince, what else can he do?
