It was already the end of November when Li Siye returned from his inspection tour of several cities in Tingzhou. The commercial and tax collection in Tingzhou was proceeding in an orderly manner, and the local people's land reclamation had also achieved preliminary results. The amount of subsidies for land reclamation was worth it.
Research matters. If the compensation is too much, some people will abandon the newly cultivated fields in order to earn subsidy money. If the compensation is too little, it will not be enough to make people excited. So after discussion, Li Siye decided to give the local people
A subsidy of 16 yuan per mu of land will be provided, and seeds for initial planting will be provided.
No one plowed the fields specifically for the sixteen cents. What they valued was the seeds provided by the Protectorate and the rent exemption in the first year.
Li Siye entered the main hall of Jiedushi's residence, and Cen Shen, the secretary in charge, came to see him quickly. The two discussed some omissions in some current policies.
Cen Shen looked around, lowered his voice and said, "There is something that I don't know whether I should say."
"It doesn't matter if you say so."
"Some time ago, Pang Yue came back with your order to deliver it to me. He went home halfway for a long time. When delivering official documents, they must not be transferred halfway to avoid suspicion of theft and tampering with the official documents. As an official, Pang Yue will not fail to do so.
He understands this rule, so his subordinates doubt him..."
Li Siye asked calmly: "Do you still keep that letter?"
"Keep it," Cen Shen nodded and took out the piece of paper from his sleeve. Li Siye stretched out his hand to take it and took a look at it. He was approving that it was a good copy. He folded the paper into two piles and stuffed it.
into his own cuffs.
"Judge Pang is vulgar and not careful enough, which is why he made such omissions, so don't worry about him."
"But..." Cen Shen sighed in his heart, this was definitely not an omission, but intentional.
Li Siye raised his hand to stop him: "You don't need to pay attention to this person. He has quite a background. He came to our Beiting with no qualifications. I'm afraid it won't be long before he will be transferred back to Chang'an to enjoy his blessings."
Cen Shen understood clearly in his heart and stopped asking about these matters. Li Siye stood up with his hands on his knees, waved his hand to Cen Shen and said, "I have nothing to do here. You can go back and rest."
After Cen Shen resigned, Li Siye also returned to the study room in the inner courtyard, sat in front of the desk and opened the folded book on it.
This is the Di Bao copied from An Xiliu's backyard. It is a summary of the major events in the DPRK and Central China in the past few months. It will help them, the Jiedushi Envoys, to understand the situation in the DPRK and China clearly and make some adjustments in decision-making.
The six years of Tianbao can be regarded as a watershed between the early and late years of Tianbao, because many extremely influential things happened this year. The changes in personnel caused by these things destined the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion in the fourteenth year of Tianbao.
I won’t mention the fact that the prince was framed twice, but the number of officials who were unjustly killed is hard to count. Jiwen and Luo Xixi were famous all over the world for being cruel officials, and local officials became trembling with fear when they heard their voices, so they called Jiwen and Luoxi.
The prince's status seems to be unstable, but in fact there will be nothing wrong with him.
Because the emperor was very conflicted in his heart, he must have the position of prince, otherwise he would give up and go west in the future, and the brothers would fight and cause foreign generals to join the court, fearing that the country would be ruined. However, the existence of the prince made him worried, fearing that this kid would take advantage of his old age to take risks.
After all, Li Heng is not young anymore. The last time I saw him, he had white hair on his head. Who doesn't want to become a big treasure as soon as possible?
He was not willing to replace the prince according to Li Linfu's wish, because the world is as dark as crows, and the Li family's sons are as virtuous as Li Heng. If Li Linfu's wish is followed, the prime minister and the new prince collude, and his emperor
Live head?
This is indeed a difficult knot to solve. Anyone entangled in this knot will inevitably die, and even Wang Zhongsi is no exception.
He turned to the page in April, which recorded that An Lushan built Xiongwu City in Hebei and forged weapons in the city, saying that he wanted to increase his strength to defend the Khitans. He also wrote a letter inviting Wang Zhongsi to send troops to jointly conduct military exercises.
He took them along to beat up the Khitan and the Xi tribe, in fact, he wanted to keep Wang Zhongsi's soldiers for his own use.
But he never expected that Wang Zhongsi would come with troops in person. Now An Lushan gave up and naturally stopped mentioning the exercise. Wang Zhongsi ran away empty-handed. The more he thought about it when he went back, the more something was wrong. He felt that this was nonsense.
Er wanted to intercept his own soldiers for his own use, so he wrote a memorandum of impeachment and sent it to Chang'an, stating that An Lushan had ulterior motives and intended to rebel.
This was the second person after Zhang Jiuling to predict that An Lushan would be rebellious. At this time, An Lushan was in great power, so the emperor naturally did not believe it and thought that Wang Zhongsi was overreacting due to his rich association skills.
In fact, Li Linfu also knew that An Lushan had ulterior motives, so he often beat him. He believed that he could suppress this barbarian. Moreover, An Lushan was focused on operating in the frontier and did not intend to develop in the DPRK. This was what satisfied him most.
of.
Wang Zhongsi, who was also the military governor of the four towns, felt that he could not take care of it, so he asked Li Longji to resign as the military governor of Hedong Shuofang and concentrate on running Longyou in Hexi.
In early October, Li Longji suddenly had a whim and asked Wang Zhongsi to take over the stone castle that had been lost for many years. The terrain of this place is extremely dangerous, surrounded by mountains, and there are only two canyons accessible.
Mo Kai, if you want to win here, you have to sacrifice the lives of countless soldiers. Wang Zhongsi immediately submitted a report to the Ming Emperor, detailing the disadvantages of conquering Shibao City, indicating that it should be done slowly and not in a hurry for quick success.
This made Li Longji feel very unhappy. How did he defeat Li Wei, the king of Xin'an all those years ago? How much worse is your Wang Zhongsi than Li Wei?
If Wang Zhongsi was unwilling to obey the order, the generals in Hexi also did not dare to obey the order. However, at this time, Dong Yanguang, the general in the court, presented his advice to the emperor, saying that he had a way to capture Shibao City. So the emperor ordered Dong to be sent to
Hexi also asked Wang Zhongsi to assist.
How could Wang Zhongsi use the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers to accumulate other people's military exploits? He only gave Dong the power to mobilize troops, but did not give him the command of life, death and rewards. Dong Yanguang commanded the soldiers to attack the city, and they
They were not willing to die in vain, so their morale was low and the stone castle was not captured for a long time.
Dong Yanguang patted his chest in front of the emperor, but now that he had lost the battle, he was worried that it would be difficult to communicate, so he blamed Wang Zhongsi and told the emperor that Wang Zhongsi had deliberately delayed.
Emperor Xuanzong was furious and ordered Wang Zhongsi to be summoned to Chang'an for questioning.
Li Linfu's frame-up against Wang Zhongsi had just begun. He then gave the emperor a strong dose and ordered Jiyang to leave Weilin to complain to the emperor, saying that he had heard Wang Zhongsi say something when he was the governor of Shuozhou.
, lived in the palace with the loyal king Li Heng in his early years, loved his brothers, and was willing to be loyal to the prince.
This time, the emperor's taboo was encountered again. If you want to frame anyone, you only need to implicate him and the prince, which has always worked. Li Longji immediately ordered the three divisions to convene for a rigorous trial. Li Linfu sent Ji Wen and Luo Xishi to take turns to fight. The dignified General Yunhui
, the Jiedushi of the Four Towns was almost tortured to death by two cruel officials in this way.
At this time, Ge Shuhan was already the deputy envoy of Longyou Jiedu and was highly valued by the emperor. He went to Beijing to rescue Wang Zhongsi. Li Longji was about to give him the envoy of Longyou Jiedu, but Ge Shuhan quickly knelt down and cried and begged the king to forgive him.
Zhongsi, and was willing to use his current official position and meritorious service to pay for Wang Zhongsi's sins.
He was demoted to the position of governor of Hanyang.
The emperor had always been ruthless in this regard. He didn't even blink when he killed his three sons. It was quite difficult for Wang Zhongsi to survive as his adopted son.
Li Siye closed the newspaper in his residence and secretly lamented that the court was getting harder and harder to get along with. Perhaps Anlu Mountain, thousands of miles away, would also lament like this, but the thoughts hidden in their hearts were completely different.
