Fu Tang

People all over the world are watching when Datang will attack Xiuguo, but the result is that Khitan sent troops first?

Most of the troops were transferred to Dingzhou in order to guard against the Tang Dynasty's attack, but now they tell him that Khitan sent troops?

Li Congjia: Surprise or not?Accident or not?

Pang Qian could only collapse and continue to deploy troops, but he didn't dare to withdraw the troops in Dingzhou. What should he do if he doesn't have enough troops?Continue to enlist.

All of a sudden, the entire Xiu Country was full of complaints. What surprised Li Congjia was that many people still missed Shi Xueting.

Yang Xin had already returned from Daliang at this time, and was placed in front of Li Congjia after being subjected to various disinfection and isolation observations. When he saw Li Congjia, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, can I follow this expedition?"

Li Congjia didn't even look at him, and while looking down at the booklet, he said, "National teacher, take good care of your apprentice."

Shi Xueting had no choice but to say: "Why are you following along to join in the fun? Are you good at commanding or can you be a striker?"

Yang Xin was keenly aware that the aura of these two big brothers was not harmonious before, so he said very wisely: "It's nothing, I just heard that they have all gone, so I... want to go and see."

"All gone?" Li Congjia raised his head after hearing this and asked, "Who has gone?"

Yang Xin looked at Li Congjia inexplicably, shouldn't he know who has gone?

Shi Xueting also felt that something was wrong: "Have any of those cronies you knew gone?"

Yang Xin was a little displeased, what do you call a friend, but he was timid and didn't dare to argue, so he could only say, "Yes, many people have gone, and I saw them off two days ago."

After Yang Xin finished speaking, he wanted to cover his mouth. Two days ago, he was probably still in isolation, and he couldn’t meet people casually. The main reason was that he was carrying the plague on him. The recovery rate is too low these days, and Chang’an has a large population. The plague is the rhythm of death and death.

It's just that a few days ago Yang Xin felt that he had been quarantined for more than ten days, even if there was an epidemic, he should be sick. Now he is still healthy, so he should be fine, so he slipped away to see his friend off.

When Shi Xueting saw Li Congjia's complexion, he immediately said: "Who allowed you to go out? You are becoming more and more lawless, go back and face the wall and think about your mistakes! If you are not allowed to come out, you are not allowed to come out!"

Yang Xin: ...

Yang Xin walked away with his head drooping, Shi Xueting turned to look at Li Congjia, Li Congjia sneered, "It seems that someone has ignored my words."

Shi Xueting had no choice but to say: "Maybe he just wants to train the next generation."

Li Congjia looked at him sideways and said, "You think I'm stupid?"

Shi Xueting actually dared to nod directly: "Yes, others begged you to ascend the throne, and even reduced the scale of the enthronement ceremony, and never asked for money from the treasury. Are you the emperor like this? Do you think you are stupid?"

Li Congjia laughed directly after hearing it: "It seems to be the same. People are all in the government for thousands of miles just to eat and wear. I am good. I am a stingy man when I become an emperor, but... I think it will not affect anything if I am a little less." , but putting it elsewhere may have a great impact.”

Shi Xueting patted his head and said, "It's okay, it's cute to be silly."

Li Congjia slapped his hand off and said, "Don't change the subject for me. I won't deal with these people. They are about to go to the house to expose the tiles. They have seen that they are of high rank. Gao Huaide and his troops dare not take it lightly." Refusal, right? One or two are inflated, and they don’t even look at what time it is. Datang hasn’t won the world yet, so what if they win the world? They dare to do this now, and they dare to force the palace in the future! "

What Li Congjia didn't say was: he finally knew why Zhao Kuangyin wanted to drink wine to release his military power.

Shi Xueting did not speak, and Li Congjia's last sentence was strictly speaking not alarmist. After these noble children entered the army, they certainly did not become officers immediately. Even if they became officers, they started from the bottom.

As we all know, the current situation in Datang is that the bottom-level officers are the ones who really have military power. Although they are all scattered, each person does not have much military power.

But this can't stand the fact that there are many aristocratic families. Even if it is not an aristocratic family, none of the high-ranking officials in the Tang Dynasty has a lot of relatives in their families, and they don't have a lot of children. These people are scattered in the army and united.

This force is even enough to overthrow the rule of those in power. Of course, they will definitely not be able to overthrow Li Congjia's rule. ten years time.

What's more, he plans to retire early and go wandering around the world with Shi Xueting, who has the patience to be tied up in this position for a lifetime?

Shi Xueting said: "So what if we know? This matter itself cannot be avoided unless there is a better system."

However, they have not come up with a better system now, or the system itself has evolved a little bit through continuous failure. What Li Congjia is using now is very advanced. If it is more advanced, people nowadays may not be able to accept it. .

Originally, Li Congjia was able to establish the current system because he was almost self-made. Later, when these people came, Li Congjia had already found a place where he could live, and Li Congjia had firmly held military power from the very beginning.

Li Congjia leaned on the back of the chair and said inscrutablely, "Actually, it's not impossible."

Shi Xueting looked at him, but Li Congjia smiled and called the Privy Council officials for a meeting without saying a word.

Many officials were a little surprised, because in their view, there was nothing to call for a meeting recently.

On the contrary, Zhao Kuangyin and the others knew it in their hearts. After all, when they attacked the land of Yanyun this time, they all stuffed people in by coincidence. Although each family didn't have many people stuffed in, it would probably be obvious if so many people stuffed in collectively. .

Zhao Kuangyin thought that Li Congjia would probably blow up his hair this time, but in fact, he would blow up his hair too.

But there were always people who didn't understand, so Li Ping came over and asked Zhao Kuangyin: "Mr. Zhao, why do you think His Majesty wants to have a meeting all of a sudden?"

Zhao Kuangyin said with an unfathomable face, "Everyone, be careful."

Some of Li Ping's monks were puzzled. In fact, it wasn't just him, even Li Jingda didn't know what Li Congjia was going to do, but Li Hongji was thoughtful.

After all, these people have been courtiers all their lives, and their way of thinking is different from that of Li Congjia. Zhao Kuangyin and Li Hongji are different. The two of them have been the emperor of a small land and the other a prince, and they both have the mindset of being a king.

As long as they use this way of thinking to think: yes, they have reminded that this war is more important, so they can’t stuff people casually, but they turned around and continued to stuff them disobediently. Is it to rebel?

Li Hongji and Zhao Kuangyin looked at each other, feeling a little apprehensive, after all, the two of them also sent someone in.

In fact, it's not that they have to fight against Li Congjia, the main reason is that they only have such a chance to benefit their children. As long as the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures are defeated, Datang will enter a relatively peaceful period. There will be no more major battles, and it may be difficult to achieve military success by then.

What?You mean Southern Zhou?

The problem is that to fight the Southern Zhou Dynasty more needs a navy. Li Congjia has already started to build a navy. Six states come big.

The Southern Zhou Dynasty is basically in the pocket, but the Yanyun Sixteen States are not. This place must be taken down. If the Tang Dynasty is not taken down, it means that there is no obstacle in the north. The enemy's invasion may be ushered in at any time. How could Li Congjia Let go of such a big flaw?

When Li Congjia arrived at the Privy Council, he saw that the officials of the Privy Council stood straight and straight since Li Jingda, looking at him as if they were facing a big enemy, and couldn't help raising their eyebrows. It seems that these people still know it in their hearts.

Of course he didn't know that there were actually only two people who knew what they knew, and the rest were just infected by these two people.

After Li Congjia sat down, he didn't lose his temper immediately, but just said, "Everyone sit down."

Yes, although he has already ascended the throne, he does not have the habit of sitting and letting ministers stand for meetings.

When Li Congjia saw everyone sitting down, he also sat upright in a tense version. It seemed that a group of bigwigs and elementary school students were almost laughing.

Li Congjia asked: "Today Eleven Lang came to me and told me that he went to see his friend off a few days ago, and then I found out a very interesting thing-my oral order, I don't think it has any binding force."

Li Congjia specifically mentioned Yang Xin, mainly because he wanted to pick Gao Huaide out. Yang Xin just mentioned this matter inadvertently, and these people can't do anything even if they hold grudges. There were too many, but if Van Gogh Huaide had the power to fight back, it was impossible for him to take so many people there, without even daring to say a word!

After Li Congjia finished speaking, he carefully looked at the expressions of the people present, and found that there were only two people who knew it well.

Zhao Kuangyin & Li Hongji: Here we come!

After hearing this, everyone knew what Li Congjia was doing at the meeting, and they all became nervous, but Li Congjia was reasonable, and they had been reminded a long time ago, but they turned out to be sneaky Cypriots themselves, but they didn't expect everyone to think of it. went together.

Everyone looked at each other, stood up and pleaded guilty in a very tacit understanding: "Your Majesty, calm down."

Li Congjia waved his hand and said, "Oh, what is this for? Don't you? Why are you being so polite? Who knows how many days I will be emperor? What if the position is replaced in two days, don't you want Resentment? How miserable will I be then? Sit and sit."

Why are you sitting like this all the time?There was no one who dared to stand, so he knelt down on the ground.

Li Congjia sat on it, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared. Zhao Kuangyin was so courageous, he took the opportunity to take a glance, and found that Li Congjia had changed from smiling to expressionless, and he was relieved.

It's fine if you are willing to lose your temper. If you don't lose your temper, come over and say a few words to them, then one person present will count as one, and just wait to be dealt with.

Li Congjia raised his chin slightly and said, "Now we all know that we were wrong? Can we use our brains when doing things? But whenever I have a chance, I will think of you, but you still come to this? It really makes me feel cold."

Li Hongji had no choice but to say: "It's a minister who has no king, please punish him."

Li Congjia said: "This time it is indeed time to teach you a lesson. I will write a handbook later, asking Gao Huaide to send back all the people who were not on the list before, and then...these people will not be hired for life, no matter whether it is six Or the Privy Council."

After hearing this, everyone was stunned, and they regretted it in their hearts. Not being able to hire him for life means that this person is basically useless. The second time was very angry, but he was very restrained and did not roar loudly, but he taught them an unforgettable lesson.

To put it bluntly, all the children who can make these people take the risk of sending people out and earn some military merit are all talented in their families. Now Li Congjia can't be hired for life. A seedling with great potential in the future.

However, no one dared to intercede. After all, Li Congjia didn't beat or scold him. He just didn't want to use disobedient people. Who could say anything?

Zhao Kuangyin and others missed Shi Xueting very much. If Shi Xueting was present, they could ask the national teacher to help him intercede. In fact, sometimes Shi Xueting was easier to talk to than Li Congjia, but today Shi Xueting didn't come at all.

So at this moment, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly realized that everyone has no military power anyway, so what are they doing to exclude Shi Xueting?According to the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, it is basically impossible for Shi Xueting to lead the army. They should keep Shi Xueting. At least at this time, there is someone who can speak and help to intercede!

So until now, these people have never thought of saving the country with curves - go to the chief assistant Zhou Zong, if he can't do it, let his daughter go, his daughter is a serious queen!

In the end, these people only thought about regretting driving Shi Xueting away, they didn't think about it at all!

This meeting is probably the shortest meeting Li Congjia has ever held, and then the group of bigwigs will meet after the meeting, let's go, let's go to the National Teacher's Mansion.

So Shi Xueting entertained the largest number of guests in Chang'an Guoshi Mansion at one time since it was completed, and it was a peak of a single reception.

After he knew the original intention of these people, he suddenly felt helpless: "It's not that you don't know your majesty, other things are easy to talk about, when it comes to the army... I always say the same thing, as long as he said it, basically there is no need to change this matter It’s almost impossible for you to get exonerated.”

Zhao Kuangyin immediately said: "No, no, no, we didn't want to exonerate the crime, but... the punishment of not being able to hire all sentient beings is too heavy, can it be changed to a limited number of years?"

Anyway, it's not that there are late bloomers these days. Even if you can't be an official in front of you, you just need to earn your prestige desperately. When the time comes, or you do something that is more beneficial to the country and the people, Li Congjia will be happy to pardon him?

Although it is possible to do the same thing if you can’t be hired for life, but it’s better to have hope if you have a limited number of years.

Shi Xueting remained silent, and waited for everyone to say good things, and after killing the fat sheep, he said compassionately: "So, let me try it, hey, you really hurt me this time." His Majesty's heart."

Everyone had no choice but to repent again and again, after Shi Xueting sent people away, he turned around and went to the palace leisurely.

Li Congjia was resting with his eyes closed in the Zichen Palace at this time, when he heard Shi Xueting's footsteps, he didn't need Chunsheng and the others to remind him, so he asked, "Did they look for you?"

Shi Xueting walked over and sat beside Li Congjia naturally, helping Li Congjia to massage various acupuncture points.

"Yes."

"Want to get away with it?"

Shi Xueting said with a smile: "They didn't dare to say that, they just asked for a shorter time, and other sentient beings are not allowed to be hired."

Li Congjia snorted coldly: "They still have the face to look for you?"

Shi Xueting said: "It's not like you don't know that these people have thick skins, but this punishment is indeed a bit harsh."

Li Congjia said arrogantly: "They don't know who the emperor is if they don't pay attention. Do they all want to rebel?"

Shi Xueting suppressed a smile: "They don't dare."

"They don't dare, you dare." Li Congjia glared at him and said, "Tell me, how did they bribe you?"

Shi Xueting calmly took out the ledger that Yang Xin had made, which contained all kinds of rare treasures sent by those officials.

After Li Congjia took a glance, he curled his lips and said, "Everyone is richer than me."

Shi Xueting said in a low voice: "Aren't these all yours now?"

Li Congjia couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Hey, I feel like I have found a way to get rich. Whenever I get angry in the future, they will go to you to intercede, and then give the money to Zhenbao, and we will save it for future use. It's not bad. "

After Shi Xueting heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry. The emperor and the national teacher joined forces to rip off the ministers. Isn't this too cheap?

However, it is undeniable that this feeling is really cool, after all, you don't have to do anything to get money.

After all, Li Congjia still had some integrity and just said: "Well, forget it, let's put this matter aside for now. When they ask you, you just say that you have worked hard. How can they pardon you immediately after they give you the money? Always let them know pain."

Shi Xueting asked: "How many days?"

After thinking about it carefully, Li Congjia said, "Well, I'll hold another meeting in two days, let's talk about it then."

As soon as Shi Xueting heard it, he knew that Li Congjia must have some ideas, so he didn't ask any more questions, but just said: "You just know what you have in mind."

What happened in the Privy Council did not become a secret. The six ministries of the cabinet spread it all over the same day, and the civil servants were instantly alarmed-this kind of thing is not only done by generals, but there are not many opportunities for generals, so they are more concentrated , and was caught by Li Congjia.

They are continuing to do this kind of thing. Li Congjia didn't say now that he probably has been forbearance. Now it seems that he doesn't intend to endure it. He will directly use the generals first, and then the civil servants?

In fact, after the founding of the country in all dynasties, there will be such a process. The emperor will reduce the power and influence of heroes as much as possible. Compared with the previous emperors, Li Congjia's approach is already very gentle, and he is famous for his lessons.

The civil servants began to carefully clean up their grievances. They didn't want their children to be denied employment for life.

The most important thing is that civil servants these days are not as noble as later generations. They don't despise generals, and they even hope that among their children, there are people in the Six Departments of the Cabinet, and there are people in the Privy Council.

So many people from Wenchen's side gave their children to Gao Huaide, and in the end...they were packaged and sent back together. How high-spirited these people were when they left, and how dejected they were when they came back.

They are also people with ideals. No matter whether they are capable or not, they have a heart that wants to fight the enemy. They are not all gilded in the past. It is a pity that there are too many beginners. No matter how good Gao Huaide is, he can't afford this Team.

Gao Huaide didn't dare to say it at first, and he had already prepared a tentative big battle. If it didn't work, he would rather lose a small defeat and plead guilty than take everyone to death.

Now that Li Congjia found out, the happiest person is Gao Huaide, but he still deliberately wrote a note to apologize, and listed a few people in the note, these are the people he is more optimistic about.

And among these people, none of Zhao Kuangyin's family members, nor Li Hongji's son.

Li Congjia looked at the list and said with emotion: "The saying that a tiger father has no dogs does not seem to be applicable all the time."

Shi Xueting said: "This is all false, these people are almost scared by you, don't go too far."

Li Congjia thought about it, too. I guess these people have suffered a lot these days, and the people who sent them out must be in a bad mood when they return home. The most obvious thing is that everyone in the court is now a lot more taciturn.

Li Congjia wanted to give them a warning, but he didn't think about directly gagging people's mouths, so he said, "Okay, let's go and call the Privy Council and the Cabinet for a meeting."

Shi Xueting was a little surprised: "The cabinet?"

Li Congjia glanced at him: "Do you think it's just the officials of the Privy Council? Didn't you see the list? Many people from the Sixth Ministry of the Cabinet were not pulled down. Last time I only hit the Privy Council. These people really thought they could hide After a catastrophe?"

Shi Xueting kept his mouth shut, anyway, Li Congjia would just curse at people at most, and those who should be pardoned would still be pardoned, so he didn't need to say much.

When the Privy Council got the news of going to the Xuanzheng Hall, everyone was full of hope, hoping that the national teacher had persuaded the emperor.

And the cabinet is a little nervous: Are they going to be scolded too?

In fact, Li Congjia just said a few words, and then announced a decision, which directly stunned everyone.

The author has something to say: Li Congjia: If a tiger doesn’t show off its power, why would you treat me like a hellokitty?

Shi Xueting: Tiger?Do you like tiger skin?Well, it's not impossible to do this.

Li Congjia: Please be more serious, please?

Shi Xueting: Ball?Two days ago, I asked someone to get some jade balls with scratches and uneven surfaces, you might like them.

Li Congjia: ...
