Chapter 566: Diligent Administration Building Complaints
Li Siye felt as if he had been connected to Ren and Du in an instant, and he could not hide his inner surprise. It was too easy. He just presented a piece of music called suona, a soul-stirring and seemingly heart-to-heart tune,
He can get so many official positions. Why does he still maintain the character of a simple and brave general in the past?
He participated in every expedition to Qixi, and every battle was dripping with blood from head to toe. However, the road to promotion was bumpy, and there were always people who were stumbling behind his back.
Now that he suddenly holds ten positions, what can those who are blocking his official career behind the scenes say?
It turns out that the best way to get promoted is to hit the emperor's g-spot, which is several times more effective than killing the enemy and making meritorious service, and much better than the Anxi Jiedu Envoy. The Longyou Qunmu Envoy controls the entire Longyou Road army and horse.
Supply logistics, in charge of dozens of horse farms such as Hetao and Hexi, and responsible for allocating military horses to all border towns on Longyou Road. First of all, this is just a position, not an official. There is no rank seal, only the emperor's talisman.
The same is true for the Longyou Recruitment Envoy and the Longyou Interview Envoy. Moreover, the Recruitment Envoy in these two official positions was created by the emperor. It may be said that they are perfunctory or coping. Since the Interview Envoy is the criminal who monitors all the prefectures and counties in Longyou Road,
Prisons and examinations, and recruitment should be the sign and distribution of the entire army of Longyou Road. Although he is not able to fully take charge of Qixi now, it will be a matter of time for him and Gao Xianzhi.
This point was really difficult for him to understand. Why did the emperor keep Gao Xianzhi as the governor of Anxi? Could it be that he had no confidence in his overall military capabilities and wanted Gao Xianzhi to lead him for a few more years? It would be too much to think like this.
Feeling happy.
He immediately kowtowed and said, "I thank your Majesty for your kindness!"
Li Linfu quickly calmed down his shock. He wanted to object to these appointments, but asking him to say it in person was not in line with his habit of never confronting the emperor. If he spoke out about such things, naturally someone would stand up for him.
.
So Wang Xie, who was playing a black face, stood up, stepped forward and crossed his arms to admonish: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. How can Li Siye be promoted continuously without making any new achievements?"
Before Li Longji made his decision, he already had a response: "Of course, it is precisely because Li Siye has not made any new achievements that I did not promote him to casual or honorary officers. As for the additional official positions, interview envoys, and recruiting soldiers
The envoys and the herdsmen of the Qunmu are just messengers with no official rank, and the concurrent governorship of the three states is also within the jurisdiction of his Beiting. These all represent my trust in him."
Wang Fei also hid a trump card. He was about to say it in front of Li Siye, but was stopped by Li Linfu with his eyes. The old fox turned around with a squinting smile, raised his hand to Li Siye and said with a smile: "Lin Fu congratulates Li Zhongcheng, no, Li Siye
Doctor, if you can gain His Majesty's trust, you and I should get closer to each other in the future."
After he said these words against his will, he crossed his hands and said to the emperor: "Wang Xian secretly investigated in Chang'an recently and found another comrade who intends to elect the crown prince, Wei Jian. Huangfu Weiming has missed the comrades."
When the emperor heard such a sensitive word, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Li Siye who was kneeling on the ground: "Li Siye, please go back first and wait for the talisman I bestow upon you."
"Wei Chen resigns."
Li Siye retreated slowly, retreating behind the pillar at the edge of the emperor's sight. At the same time, he turned back hesitantly, trying to figure out how they were going to stab him next.
He knew Wang Fei. If Li Linfu's moral level was low, he would be three times lower than Li Linfu. Li Linfu's biggest black spot was nothing more than jealousy of talents, excluding dissidents, and retaliation. He worked hard in politics,
He would not exploit the people, so even if he fought in the court and caused bloodshed in the officialdom, the people's evaluation of him was not bad.
But Wang Fei simply harmed the people and enriched himself. In addition to serving as Li Linfu's accomplice in framing the minister, he also served as a household registration officer. During the period, the silk and cloth in the national treasury had piled up, while the "light goods" such as jewelry needed by the palace were
Relatively insufficient. So Wang X instigated the relevant officials to deliberately be picky about the silks handed over from various places, and returned them to various local prefectures and counties under various excuses. They then collected coins at high prices, and then used the money to purchase jewelry locally at low prices.
Waiting for light goods. After repeated tossing, the government made huge profits, but the people were tortured.
Not only the common people were severely exploited by the king, but also the soldiers who were guarding the border outside were not spared. According to the system, soldiers were replaced every six years and did not have to pay rent. However, the generals guarding the border were ashamed of defeat and treated those who died in the battle.
The soldiers did not report to the government, so the soldiers who died in the battle did not cancel their household registration. This gave Wang Zhi an opportunity. He treated all those who had household registration but no one as tax evasion. In this way, some people
He was even taxed for thirty years at a time, and these taxes were evenly distributed on the poor people, and the people had no excuse. He exploited the people and extorted hundreds of millions of money. Some of it was given to the palace and presented to the emperor, and some of it enriched himself. It is unknown.
Tang Xuanzong, who knew the truth, repeatedly promoted him, but little did he know that he had become Wang Xuan's accomplice.
Such excessive expropriation directly led to the flight of a large number of peasants throughout the Tianbao period and a huge social reversal.
Of course, it was Xuanzong himself who benefited most from Wang Xian's crazy amassing of money. At this time, Xuanzong's expenses were becoming increasingly extravagant, and the rewards in the harem were unrestrained. The inventory of the royal family's inner treasury (big surplus treasury) could not keep up with his pace at all, and could not
Take it from the left or right storage as you like.
After Wang Xuan learned about it, he paid an additional 10 billion yuan to the surplus treasury every year for Xuanzong to squander. He also said that this was additional income other than renting mediocre taxes and had nothing to do with state funds. From then on, Xuanzong became even more "dissolute"
"He has extravagant desires." He believed that the king managed money well and could make the country rich, so he loved him even more.
In just over ten years, Xuanzong actually squandered all the wealth and power of the Tang Dynasty that he had built with his own hands, and burned all his efforts in the first thirty years. The feudal towns were separated, the people were displaced, and the society was in turmoil. In it, Wang Xuanzong could
It is said that he served as the best assist.
In this case, when the Wang brothers rebel in the future, he will definitely add fuel to the fire, widen the path for these two brothers to commit suicide, and let them burn to hell quickly.
…
Li Siye was standing in the palace just now, and Wang Xian couldn't say anything yet. Now that he got the opportunity, he naturally had to increase the output power.
"Wang Fei, tell me, who are Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming's accomplices in Chang'an?"
He lowered his head respectfully, and a sharp smile emerged from the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty, this person is none other than Li Siye who just left."
Li Longji frowned, raised his hand and grabbed his beard hard, and asked sternly: "Do you have any evidence for saying that?"
"Of course there is evidence. Your Majesty, in the 25th year of the lunar calendar, the former Anxi Governor Lai Yao visited Prince Zhong's residence. Li Siye followed Lai Yao to Anxi to confer an official position on the recommendation of the former Prince Zhong and today's crown prince. He has long been
The prince's confidants also participated in all the conspiracies between Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming!"
Li Longji's brows suddenly relaxed, with a hint of sarcasm and lightness on his face.
