Fu Tang

The matter of Yelujing's resurrection from the dead, not to mention Datang, even Khitan was confused from top to bottom.

And the first thing Yelvjing did after he appeared was to clean up all the people who he thought were waving their heads and tails. As a result, the involvement was wide-ranging, and many Khitan people from the court to the army were imprisoned.

Yelvjing said: "People are leaving the tea to cool down. As soon as I left, you started to neglect me. What use are you? I have only been away for a few days, and the court is full of smog. You are really the humerus of Daliao. !"

Oh, this negligence refers to giving him a posthumous title and temple name or something.

After Li Congjia knew about it, he didn't know what to say for a while.

The posthumous name and the temple name are not well decided, it is entirely your own making, who made you a fool?Killing people at every turn, do you expect the officials to see him more?

As for the smog, you did it yourself. You didn’t leave a single son behind, and your brother was almost ruined by you. If you say that you are dead, who has the right to force others to succeed?Still want to fight to grab?In this process, the ministers are of course picking and choosing positions.

But Yelvjing didn't think it was his own problem at all. He felt that these ministers were bad and not loyal enough, so he wanted to kill them all and replace them with a group of loyal ones.

After this incident came out, the Great Tang Dynasty Hall was instantly calm, and the censors who had criticized Li Congjia before were all quiet.

There is no way, such a comparison, although their king can toss, but he is the one who toss, at least he didn't toss the courtiers, and he didn't kill people casually!

Even the cabinet felt that even if what Li Congjia did was too unreasonable, it was because of the difference in height between them and Li Congjia. A ruler must have such courage. Of course, it is better not to have this kind of thing happen next time, especially deceiving Such things as courtiers sneaking away by themselves must be resolutely put an end to!

So because of a pig opponent for comparison, Li Congjia survived the infinite persuasion.

Li Congjia didn't know what expression to use to face this, but he quickly realized that he called the members of the Privy Council to hold a meeting to discuss an issue: who to send to fight the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

When Li Hongji, who had just returned from exhaustion, heard the news, his first reaction was to ask, "Do you want to conscript yourself?"

Li Congjia looked bewildered: "What? When did I say I was going to conscript myself?"

He just came back and hasn't rested yet, what's the matter with him?

Li Hongji breathed a sigh of relief immediately: "If you don't go, then you can talk about everything, but...why are you in such a hurry? It's almost the Chinese New Year, and the big guys have to spend the New Year outside when they go to war. I guess no one wants to."

Li Congjia stroked his chin and said, "There is no way. Now that Khitan already knows that we did it, I guess when Yelvjing comes to his senses, he will definitely take Yunnei Prefecture back. Yunnei Prefecture is too close to Northern Zhou. I don't want to I saw that Northern Zhou united with the Khitan people again."

If Li Jixun cooperates with the Khitan people again, Li Congjia will really kill his whole family. If it is now... then just kill him alone.

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly said from the side: "Hengzhou Dingzhou is also very close to Yunnei Prefecture, do you want to fight together?"

Li Congjia nodded happily: "Yes, this is a good idea. Old Zhao is becoming more and more able to diverge his thinking."

Zhao Kuangyin: No, I want to kill the king again.

Li Hongji glanced at Zhao Kuangyin strangely, and he found that since Zhao Kuangyin followed Li Congjia to the north, this guy had let himself go, and he was not as cautious in speaking as before. This is not a good sign.

Li Congjia left the matter to them to discuss, anyway, he signed and sealed at the end, turned around and ran away with Shi Xueting.

Li Hongji took the opportunity and said earnestly to Zhao Kuangyin: "Old Zhao, I know that you have a good relationship with His Highness, but you see, I am His Highness's brother and I didn't talk to him like that, right? I'm afraid something will happen to you if you do this in the future."

Zhao Kuangyin sighed heavily: "That's because you don't know..."

Zhao Kuangyin stopped talking in the middle, and Li Hongji looked at him suspiciously, what did he not know?

However, Zhao Kuangyin didn't intend to say it out, some things can be complained in his heart, if he really said it, Li Congjia might not want to beat him up, anyway, now that he is back, he has plenty of helpers.

Li Hongji looked at Zhao Kuangyin's back, scratching his heart. He really wanted to know what happened between his brother and Zhao Kuangyin. What did Li Congjia do to torture Zhao Kuangyin into such a vicissitudes of life?

But soon he didn't have the time to satisfy his curiosity. Li Congjia appointed Li Hongji as the marching commander, and asked him to lead the troops to attack the Northern Zhou Dynasty. By the way, he also asked Yang Ye to follow him to commit crimes and meritorious deeds. Except for Yang Ye, the remaining officers Let Li Hongji choose by himself.

Li Congjia is trying to compensate Li Hongji in disguise. After all, he and Zhao Kuangyin sneaked away before, and Li Hongji was under a lot of pressure. The most important thing is that Li Hongji never betrayed him before he was exposed. This must be praised.

Li Congjia had no choice but to let Li Hongji go out to get some military merits. Of course, the point is not this, the point is to let him sell favors. Everyone knows that the Northern Zhou Dynasty has been severely damaged after the Khitan toss. It would not take much effort to attack in the past. Basically, everyone It was for gilding, so Li Hongji could take his son with him.

After all, Li Hongji is many years older than Li Congjia. His eldest son is now fourteen, and he is old enough to get seniority. The prince's son is not as good as the prince, and he has to work hard to have a future.

Li Hongji was also very measured, he only brought his eldest son with him, and the remaining positions were distributed to others. For example, Li Jingda's son brought two. Unfortunately, Zhao Kuangyin's eldest son died early, and his second son is only thirteen now. He was still a little frail, so he had no choice but to bring along Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Kuangyi instead.

Li Congjia's perception of Zhao Kuangyi... Influenced by historical records, his impression has not been particularly good. Although Zhao Kuangyin is no longer the emperor, he probably will not be the emperor, so there will be no allusions about candlelight and ax shadows, but in case Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Kuangyin's son What about fighting for property?

Li Congjia didn't want to object clearly, so he could only go directly to the Privy Council for a meeting and said: "I said, you are all about the same. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Li Jixun's brain is more flawed, his ability to fight is still beyond doubt. Yes, bring so many novices there, if something happens, you won’t even have time to cry.”

Li Hongji thought about it for a while, and it seemed to be the same reason. If something really happened, how would he explain it to everyone?

But everything has been arranged, and it's not easy for him to brush people down.

So he thought about it and said, "Why don't you, Da Lang, stop going."

Li Congjia rolled his eyes and said, "You can figure it out yourself, Zhao Kuangyi shouldn't go, let Zhao Tingmei go."

Now that he said so, no one would embarrass him about this trivial matter. The only thing that puzzled Li Hongji was that Zhao Kuangyi was a novice, and Zhao Tingmei was even a novice. This change of person did not have any effect on the entire leadership system. Influence.

It looked like Zhao Kuangyi was simply replaced. Could it be... what did Zhao Kuangyi do to offend Li Congjia?

Li Hongji didn't come to a conclusion after thinking about it, but at this time Li Congjia was eating with Zhao Kuangyin, oh, and of course Shi Xueting.

After going to the enemy's territory for an armed tour, the relationship between Li Congjia and Zhao Kuangyin basically improved by leaps and bounds. Zhao Kuangyin knew more about Li Congjia, and he no longer worried that his performance would cause Li Congjia to be afraid of such things—they Wang, you have a big heart, basically from the beginning to the end, you are my subordinate, the more powerful the better, anyway, you are working for me, anyway, you have no military power, I have the final say.

Li Congjia also gave up the habit of eating and sleeping without talking, and said: "I will replace Zhao Kuangyi, and you will do ideological work for him later. It’s not easy for a person of culture to join the cabinet, but it should be fine to be a minister in the future. It’s true that people who have made military achievements are not restricted by civil officials, but they can’t form a barrier with civil officials, right?”

Zhao Kuangyin was wondering why he did this, but he didn't care. Except for Zhao Kuangyi, no one was dissatisfied with this matter, and Zhao Tingmei was very happy.

For Li Hongji, there is no difference between Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Tingmei, both of them are labeled as Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother, but for Zhao Kuangyin, no matter who goes to gild these two people, he will be his help in the future, the same, for the courtiers Said, then it doesn't matter.

Only Zhao Kuangyi was unhappy, but Li Congjia said it himself, no matter how stupid Zhao Kuangyi is, he would know that if this trend continues, it will be a matter of time before Li Congjia ascends the throne. Can only hold back.

However, Zhao Kuangyi's heart is very anxious. He is not young this year, he is 25 years old, he has already married, and it is time to work hard to start a career, but now he has not found a place where he can give full play to his skills.

Others can rely on their father's shadow to find a family background, but they can't do it here with Zhao Kuangyi - Master Hou is his elder brother, his father is posthumous, and Zhao Kuangyin's son is also the one who wants to have a shadow.

Zhao Kuangyi could only find a way to take advantage of his brother's help to get a position, but he was still unwilling because the position was not high. He thought in his heart that he was the younger brother of Zi Tinghou, how could he be such a low-ranking official?

So high and low, Zhao Kuangyi only studied every day except for studying every day, and he was not very diligent in martial arts.

This time he thought he was lucky, and finally he was able to enter the Privy Council with his military merits, but he was taken down in the end!

It's just that he never thought that the Privy Council is relative to the cabinet. Civil servants are proud to be in the cabinet, military generals are proud to be in the Privy Council, and the cabinet is as difficult to enter as the Privy Council. Even if Zhao Kuangyi goes out and is plated with gold , Don't even think about entering the Privy Council when you come back.

Li Congjia was afraid that Zhao Kuangyi's unbalanced heart would turn back to retaliate against the society, so he turned around and gave him the position of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. This official position is not low, but it is not easy to make a splash.

After all, Datang's diplomacy today...is all stick diplomacy. Basically, except for the good relationship with Khotan, other countries bordering Datang are their enemies.

As for Khotan and Datang, they lived in peace with each other, and they didn't have much contact with each other. Honglu Temple was able to spend free time every day.

Zhao Kuangyi always felt that he could not use his abilities to the fullest, and felt a little depressed.

Shi Xueting knew what Li Congjia was thinking, although he didn't understand why Li Congjia didn't wait to see Zhao Kuangyi, but it has been proved by practice that Li Congjia's vision is not so good, anyone who he has planned to get under his command is not incompetent, and whoever he doesn't wait Those who see or even reject are generally less moral.

Shi Xueting trusts Chongguang in his family more, so he specially found Han Yu and asked him to find a way to mess with Zhao Kuangyi. How did I do it.

After Han Yu heard this, he immediately knew what to do, and ran over to talk to Zhao Kuangyi.

Zhao Kuangyi has met his opponent, who is Han Yu?Heirs of the strategist family have fooled more monarchs than Zhao Kuangyin has ever seen before. As soon as he went out to fool Zhao Kuangyi, within two days Zhao Kuangyi was completely devoted to him, and he deeply believed that Li Congjia sent him to Honglu Temple to train him.

And combined with what Li Congjiace once said to Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyi deeply felt that Li Congjia was probably training him in order to let him enter the cabinet.

Li Congjia didn't know that Han Yu had fooled Zhao Kuangyi. He was thinking about whether to transfer Zhao Pu back. When he was asked to be the governor, the most important thing was to let him be gilded.

It is said that a person who has never been a magistrate is not good at being a prime minister. In fact, Zhao Pu can be regarded as a magistrate before. After all, before they surrendered, Zhao Kuangyin's territory was only those few states. Zhao Pu was Zhao Kuangyin's subordinate The number one think tank of the country, the management of these states can be regarded as dedicated.

So even though Zhao Pu has not been there for a long time now, Li Congjia decided to transfer him back, anyway, to go through the motions to get his qualifications, so he doesn't have to be so strict.

It happened that Minister of the Ministry of Rites was suffering from illness these days. Seeing that it was going to be bad, Li Congjia directly gave him a super-long vacation and asked him to heal his injury first, and then come back after healed. In order to appease the other party, he even went there in person The other party's home.

Then he turned around and gave Zhao Pu the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, kicked out a minister of the Ministry of Industry he was more optimistic about to take over Zhao Pu's position as the governor, and then transferred Zhao Kuangyi to be the Minister of Industry.

Zhao Kuangyi hadn't been the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple for long, and he jumped directly from the fifth rank to the fourth rank as the minister of the Ministry of Industry. His whole face was radiant and he walked with wind.

However, Zhao Kuangyin could see that Zhao Kuangyi's promotion speed did not seem to be able to enter the cabinet. As a comparison, look at Zhao Pu. This is now the Jiuqing and the Six Departments. The governor, when he comes back, he will be a minister. It is estimated that he will be able to join the cabinet soon after he has completed the six ministers.

And Zhao Kuangyi went directly from the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, which seemed to have skipped many links in the middle, but in the future evaluation, these are all shortcomings, and it is basically impossible to be a prime minister.

Zhao Kuangyin saw it clearly but didn't say it. Firstly, he didn't want to hurt his brother's self-confidence. Secondly, he also knew in his heart that strictly speaking, his family was a relative. To be a relative, one must understand that some rights can be touched, and some rights cannot be touched. He is more optimistic about Zhao Tingmei when he fights the world with civil servants. After all, the Zhao family started with military exploits.

Li Congjia successfully transferred Zhao Pu back and eliminated the factors of instability. The whole person was very happy. Of course, the most important thing was that he and Shi Xueting had been getting bored recently.

It is said that a little farewell is better than a newlywed, this time he and Shi Xueting are not a small matter at all, but an almost farewell. After Shi Xueting was angry, he became more considerate and cautious in every way, for fear of what Li Congjia had eaten before. Too much suffering will lead to the root cause of the disease, so I tried to find a way to nourish Li Congjia.

Li Congjia enjoyed this kind of care very much, it would be even better if Shi Xueting didn't want to find a way to feed him medicinal food.

While Li Congjia was taking care of Shi Xueting, Yelvjing finally settled the country, killed all the people he thought were unfaithful, and promoted some young people who he thought were energetic and loyal.

Then, just after Li Congjia was ready to go to war with Khitan, Yelvjing announced that he would... attack Dangxiang?

When Li Congjia got the news, he was pinching his nose and drinking porridge. Because ginseng and other tonics were added to the porridge, the taste was a little stronger than drinking traditional Chinese medicine. After hearing the news, he spit out all the porridge.

Shi Xueting hurriedly wiped it with a silk cloth, Li Congjia let Shi Xueting help him wipe his mouth and said blankly: "What is Yelvjing doing? What did he say?"

"If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have told you. Why is it that the older you get, the less stable you become? Is this a return to life?" Shi Xueting reluctantly read Li Congjia's words, and found that the other party's eyes were wide-eyed and innocent, so he had to explain: "Yelvjing said that Dangxiang was helping the tyrant to do evil, and Khitan would never tolerate it, so he decided to attack Dangxiang."

"Aiding the tyrant? Is he trying to say that I am the tyrant?" Li Congjia pointed to his nose and said, "No, shouldn't we first target the tyrant before we get rid of those who help the tyrant?"

Shi Xueting chuckled: "He didn't choose to hit Datang directly, which means he hasn't gone too crazy."

After hearing this, Li Congjia thought for a long time and said, "That's it, then... let's take the initiative to beat them."

Shi Xueting frowned: "This is not a good choice."

Li Congjia rubbed his hands and said, "I'm the one who got involved with the party this time. Well... if they come to ask for help, we can't just ignore it, right? Rather than wait for them to come to ask for help before we take action, it's better to fight earlier."

Hitting early can also brush up the favorability of the party item, anyway, you have to fight.

Shi Xueting was silent for a long while and asked: "Why can't we choose to wait until the Khitan has crippled the Dangxiang before we make a move, and then we will get the Dangxiang in the pocket at that time."

Damn, brother, your method is a bit dark.

Li Congjia swallowed, but after thinking about it, although it may be a bit unkind to do so, it is a very appropriate way. Dangxiang is also a nomad, and it is still a nomad that has grown. When Li Congjia unites the Central Plains, take back After leaving Yanyun Sixteen States, maybe the next step will be a conflict with the party.

Khotan doesn't intend to move. In order to resist the Kara Khanate, they don't need a party to resist anything, so it is impossible to let such a country be under the eyes of Datang. The most important thing is that the larger the territory of Datang, The greater the threat to Dangxiang, the more subtle confrontation between Dangxiang and Datang will naturally become.

It's better to take advantage of this opportunity to make the Dang Xiang internal, and then through national integration, intermarriage and various policies, the Dang Xiang will be completely turned into a member of Datang.

Although this is a good approach from the overall situation, it is a bit unkind to do so.

After thinking about it, Li Congjia felt that anyway, he did not lose his morals once or twice. This time was not too much, and this time was not too much.

Naturally, the party members would not be able to see him when they came. If they could not see him, they would not be able to ask for troops to be dispatched—no one in the entire Tang Dynasty could make the decision to send troops except Li Congjia!

Li Guangrui came here in person. After seeing Li Congjia, he turned around and went to see his sister. He also suspected that Li Congjia had other ideas, so he deliberately avoided seeing him. After meeting his sister, he learned that Li Congjia was really Recently, his health is not very good, and he doesn't go to court very much, so he believes that Li Congjia is really sick.

I have to say, it was just a coincidence. After Li Congjia came back, the whole person was very lazy. In addition, there were no major events in the country. Production was being developed in various places, and they were working hard to restore the work after the war. Everything was handed over to the cabinet, and Li Congjia had to come forward to make decisions only on important matters, so he hid himself and prepared to recuperate for a while.

In the end, Li Guangrui had no other choice. The Khitan army could not be resisted by the party. After receiving Li Yiyin's instructions, Li Guangrui wrote to Datang to apply for enclosing it.

After Li Congjia got the news, he really wanted to see Li Guangrui, but he couldn't. Otherwise, the lie before would appear to be too insincere, so he could only endure the urgency, remote control the cabinet to complete the entire attached process, and make Li Yiyin the Duke of Lingguo. Send Gao Huaide to lead the army to help the party.

After Li Guangrui and Gao Huaide left, a letter from the cabinet came: Your Highness, it's time to ascend the throne.

Li Congjia: Huh?

The author has something to say: Yelvjing: It's getting cold, let the party go bankrupt.

Li Congjia: If the party can't stand it anymore, come to us for asset restructuring.

Party item: QAQ
