Tang Dynasty Never Night

The arrival of King Luo Bin startled Li Xian. After seeing King Luo Bin, who was stooped and covered with wind and frost, Li Xian felt that the romantic image of the Four Heroes of the early Tang Dynasty suddenly collapsed in his head. King Luo Bin probably did the same when he was young. He is a handsome young man, of course, he is not considered a handsome man, but his facial features are correct, probably because he has been hiding in recent years and has been unsatisfactory, so he looks much older.

Li Xian never thought that this person could come out in one piece. When Xu Jingye conspired against him, Luo Binwang, as the author of the letter, attracted the attention of the government and the public. Li Xian remembered that Xu Jingye's subordinate, Wang Naxiang, saw that the rebellion failed. He directly chopped off 25 main characters of his own side and surrendered with 25 heads. At that time, it was said that there was the head of King Luo Bin in it.

Now that King Luo Bin appeared suddenly again, Li Xiansheng was afraid that others would pretend to be him, but it was meaningless to pretend to be King Luo Bin, and it would even carry a lot of political burden, so it was not very cost-effective, so Li Xian believed most of it at the time .

After the inspection, Li Xian looked at the document that King Luo Bin used to prove his identity. Although it was many years ago, it was more credible. Anyone who can be a good official, Luo Binwang is probably too righteous, so it is too difficult to mix in the officialdom, such a person is not suitable for a real job, Li Xian began to think about arranging a casual job for him.

After all, King Luo Bin has been supporting Li Tang's royal family, and now he ran from his hiding place to Chang'an at the risk. Li Xian had to take care of this one, and then King Luo Bin sent a letter, which was directly to Li Xian, Li Xian originally thought that he would recommend himself as an official, but he received a letter from the other party requesting to find a teacher for the emperor.

Li Xian realized when he saw Luo Binwang's letter, it's broken, he forgot to arrange a teacher for Li Chongyi!Of course, it’s not his fault. Li Chongyi’s teacher before was either Li Xian or Zheng Qi. If Li Chongyi were to be a prince, Li Xian would still remember to give him a tutor. However, everyone has become an emperor. This teacher What is your identity?And teachers can't be found casually. Li Chongyi is now 11 years old and it is time to reshape the three views. If someone misleads him, wouldn't his and Zheng Qi's education for so many years be in vain?

But King Luo Bin was right, Li Xian thought for a while and turned to Zheng Qi and said, "I'll give you the title of Grand Tutor."

Li Chongyi was the emperor, not the prince. Among the official positions in the Tang Dynasty, there were actually three positions: Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao. However, these three positions were too important to be easily set up. Now is the right time.

Zheng Qi reminded: "Don't forget yourself, Prime Minister Lou also needs to have a position."

This was not a problem, so Li Xian went over to talk to Li Chongyi, and Li Chongyi immediately agreed to have the edict sent out, Lou Shide entered the Grand Master, Zheng Qi entered the Grand Tutor, Li Xian...had the title of Taibao on his head , It's just that he wants to ensure that he can intervene in Li Chongyi's ideological education, and he also needs to find a few people to really give Li Chongyi lectures.

After all, now that Lou Shide is fighting with Dashi outside, Zheng Qi is busy as a prime minister, let alone Li Xian, these three people don't have much time to give lectures to him.

However, even though King Luo Bin is a talented man, Li Xian did not intend to ask him to teach Li Chongyi. It is okay for the emperor to have poor literary talents and not know how to write poems, but he must not become an elm head. King Luo Bin had such a hard time in the court. Let him go to be the emperor's teacher for a day, and he is afraid that he will be taken down within two days.

Li Xian felt a little sympathetic to King Luo Bin, and in the blink of an eye, he hired him a spare job: the court councilor.Because King Luo Bin didn't have any outstanding political achievements, but he wrote good poems, Li Xian gave him such a title, which was not very high, but it was much better than his previous official position.

King Luo Bin was very grateful to Li Xian. He spent most of his life in poverty and didn't know what to do in his later years. Now that Li Xian gave him such a title, it meant to let him retire.

King Luo Bin is already 71 this year. Li Xian looked at him as if he was not in good health. Considering that he rebelled and fled at the age of more than 60, he probably had a hard time on the road. However, Li Xian saw that he came alone and thought it was him. Uneasy, he asked gently: "Where are the old man's relatives and friends now? I'll send someone to bring them to Chang'an to reunite with the old man's family."

After hearing this, King Luo Bin couldn't help but burst into tears: "My family members...are all dead."

It was not easy for King Luo Bin to be able to escape back then. Because he was too hasty and messy, his family members were separated on the road. After he ran to the west and settled down, he also inquired about his family's whereabouts. Everyone was arrested, because of his rebellion, his family has nothing else to say, the royal family rebellion can save a life and be demoted to exile as a commoner, he can only be one death and one household registration .

After Li Xian heard this, he felt pity. He chose a good house for King Luo Bin and gave it to him. Several poems praised Li Xian.

Luo Binwang's ability to be an official is not good, but his level of writing poetry and composition is first-class, and it is also certified by scholars, probably because of his good character. He said that Li Xian is good, and some people who don't know the truth are really Thinking that Li Xian was fine, another group of people came from Chang'an to join him.

Li Xian heaved a sigh of relief, should it be said that good things are rewarded with good things?Although he just felt sorry for King Luo Bin at first, he didn't want his half-baked reputation to come back. Li Xian turned his eyes and went to King Luo Bin and asked, "I don't know if the old man would like to teach others what he has learned?"

King Luo Bin waved his hands quickly after hearing this, and laughed at himself: "I've wasted my life for a while, how can I be a teacher?"

Li Xian smiled slightly: "The old man is a model of scholars in the world, and a model for our generation. The students in the academy are eager to see what they see, and they only hope that the old man can give him advice."

Among other things, if you can learn Luo Binwang's ability to write essays and poems, then you don't have to worry about literary talent in liberal arts. As for current affairs, it can only depend on your comprehension ability, which may not be taught by a teacher. alright.

After hearing this, King Luo Bin was very moved. He also knew that he was not suitable to be an official. However, he learned literary and martial arts and bought it from the emperor's family. He is both talented and wants to show his skills in the officialdom. It would be nice if you can teach and educate people.

Li Xian happily introduced King Luo Bin to Plum Blossom Academy, and all of a sudden, Plum Blossom Academy became a bustling city. At first, this place was used by Li Xian to train those orphans with potential. As the tide rose, some children from common people or rich merchants were also sent over, and after King Luo Bin came, many scholars were also willing to come over.

King Luo Bin's life became better, and he recommended three people to Li Xian: Fu Jiamo, Wu Shaowei and Gu Yi.These three people are not as famous as King Luo Bin in later generations, but at present they are literary masters named after King Luo Bin. They are called the Three Masters of Beijing, especially the poems written by Fu Jiamo and Wu Shaowei are collectively called Wu Futi.

However, it is probably because people with gorgeous rhetoric are not very smooth on the political road. The life experiences of these three people are not as rough as King Luo Bin, but they are not very smooth. So strong, after seeing the letter sent by King Luo Bin, he thought about the origin of Plum Blossom Academy, and ran directly to Li Xian with his burden.

Li Xian also took in two people and gave them houses. These two people were lucky enough to bring out their belongings, so there was no need for Li Xian to accommodate them too much.

After the truce, Chang'an City and Luoyang City gradually began to have a different scene. The old families in Chang'an were faintly moving closer, while Luoyang's side was full of new rich people. It probably had something to do with their births. It's been a long time since I didn't like Wu Zhao, but I didn't have a choice before, and now I finally have a choice, come here quickly.

As for Li Xian's aboveboard move to poach people from his own side, Wu Zhao can't do anything about it. Those people are either a bare-handed commander with nothing to worry about, or they have moved from home, and some have not moved from home because they are Family!The so-called aristocratic family means that there are a lot of thieves in the land and a lot of thieves. Although they have been attacked by Wu Zhao for so many years, the centipedes are dead and not stiff, and the whole family cannot be angered because of one person. If this is the case... the Luoyang court will also It's half empty.

"Suppressing the aristocratic family is indeed a long way to go." Wu Zhao sighed and said, "I just don't know what Chang'an's plan is?"

Wu Xuanhui said: "I'm afraid there will be more constraints."

From Taizong to Wu Zhao, he has been on the road of suppressing the aristocratic family, and the results have been achieved, but I don't know if Li Xian can stand it?Many upstarts in Luoyang are waiting to see the jokes about Chang’an. They know those aristocratic families well. There are also some who basically have nothing to sell except their surnames, but they still want a big piece of cake. Can a pragmatic person like Wu Zhao keep them?Get lost, Da Zhou doesn't need you to tell me what to do.

These people could only go to Chang'an indignantly, but in the end...they also got their noses in the ashes when they arrived in Chang'an!First of all, the regent is not something they can meet when they want to, and the emperor is not something they can meet casually. Most of the people they can meet are promoted from Li Xian's Regent's Palace. Most of these people are not particularly well-born, and many of them are plum blossoms. Those who come out of the academy have no background and can only rely on the regent or Zheng Xiang. Is there any need to talk about their position?

Wu Zhao had to think about the balance of the court anyway, some people who had no ability but couldn't be driven away turned a blind eye and closed their eyes, but Li Xian's side was more straightforward than Wu Zhao's side, and he didn't have any real skills. Even though the imperial examination is not required for amnesty for these people, they still have to pass the examination, and the examination is actually not much easier than the imperial examination.

Those who thought that there were few people in Chang'an and they could get one or two official positions here were instantly dumbfounded. Many people expressed angrily that Li Xian was acting against the law, and some even said that he was different from Ni Zhou.

Li Xian said without raising his eyelids: "Get rid of the dross and take the essence, of course there are differences, the bigger difference is... I don't want waste here."

This sentence offended many people, so Li Xian's reputation, which had been blurred before, began to be smeared by the family collectively, Li Xian didn't care at all.

Some people even said in front of Li Xian: "Does the regent regard the court as his own fiefdom? Appoint court officials arbitrarily, but still take saints in his eyes?"

Li Xian said without raising his eyelids: "You can do the same if you have the ability."

The person who came here was choked enough to choke. Is it you who talk like that?It's so gentle!How can such a person be qualified to be the regent?

The number of people attacking Li Xian in Chang'an City gradually increased, but it didn't reach the point where everyone was worried. Li Xian's reputation in Chang'an was undeniable. The name Little Dragon King was first spread in Chang'an City. Yes, it's just that few people know how to call this nickname anymore. After all, Li Xian is not young anymore, and it's not respectful enough.

These people saw that Li Xian was not willing to enter, so after thinking about it, they decided to find someone to talk to Li Xian. There was no other way. It is not an exaggeration to say that Li Xian is extremely powerful in the Tang Dynasty. Although there are three provinces and the prime minister restricting him, But... Li Xian will choose those who hold him back?What a joke.

In the end, these people found King Luo Bin. King Luo Bin knew in his heart that Li Xian's method was right, but he also had something to say about his suppression of the family, so he had to turn around and talk to Li Xian. Li Xian took a sip slowly. Cha said: "It's nothing more than that the capable go up and the mediocre go down. Who can they blame for their own incompetence?"

"Then you can't let the imperial court be controlled by the poor family, young man from the poor family, Your Highness should think twice."

Li Xian asked with a look of surprise: "Who said that the court is controlled by a poor family? When did I become a child of a poor family?"

King Luo Bin looked at him anxiously, Li Xian had no choice but to continue: "Now there are two prime ministers in the court, Prime Minister Lou and Prime Minister Zheng. Although Prime Minister Lou is from a commoner background, he is a veteran of the two dynasties. Does anyone have any objections to his being prime minister? "

Of course I have no objection, everyone knows that Lou Shide is now the Humerus of Datang, how can he fight for territory without him?

Seeing King Luo Bin shaking his head, Li Xian said again: "Mr. Zheng, you come from a noble family, no one thinks that the Zheng family is not from a noble family, right?"

King Luo Bin twitched his forehead, listening to Li Xian still wrestling his fingers and saying: "Zhongshu Ling's servants are all from aristocratic families, why are they generalized as children of a poor family?"

King Luo Bin is a little tired. Your Highness, you are talking about first- and second-rank ministers. Being an official can be said to be an extremely human minister. How many people can reach this level?It's true that these people are from aristocratic families, but... going down, there are too many children from poor families.

But King Luo Bin didn't want to argue with Li Xian about this matter when he was old. He might as well go and find out if there are any suitable children to be his disciples. His children and grandchildren were all killed. Wanting to cultivate a qualified imperial court official can be regarded as repaying Li Xian's kindness, and the other is also wanting to find someone to take care of him.

So in the end King Luo Bin could only sigh and said: "Wu Zhao has a strong temperament and has to give in to the previous family. Don't be too aggressive, Your Highness."

Li Xian raised his eyebrows: "I know that you are here today just because you are annoyed by those people, so I won't say much else, just tell those people, I really don't need to know how to take advantage of others if I don't have any skills at all." , Either lie down honestly or die, I can say it and do it."

Well, Li Xian actually wanted to say that there is a way to go, but there is no way to die.Just thinking about it, the old man Luo Binwang will probably be pissed off, so let's be more tactful.

Sure enough, King Luo Bin was so angry that he said three times in a row: "Your Highness, be careful!"

Li Xian shut up silently. Anyway, the meaning has already been brought, but it is estimated that King Luo Bin will say it much more euphemistically than this. Without freeing up his hands, he was really underestimated for not talking about it for so many years.

So Li Xian turned around and arranged for people to spread those old family clans around because he couldn't get along in the reverse cycle. Seeing our regent's soft-heartedness and ran over to surrender, he didn't expect that he still wanted to occupy the court. All the officials in the world are given to them.

Then began to spread all kinds of rumors, such as: These people can't get along in Nizhou because they are corrupt and violate the law, and they want to fish in troubled waters now in Datang.

Chang'an City can be said to be the news center of Datang. The information here spreads quickly. Within two days, all kinds of rumors about these old clans have been rampant. Otherwise, everyone will choose to believe it.

In the end, even without Li Xian's push, some people naturally began to squeeze out these unprogressive families. There was no way that these noble families came to make some scholars feel a great sense of threat. Their backgrounds were not that good, and they all studied hard all the way. It came up, it was not easy for Datang to recruit more children from poor families and they had a chance, and as a result, a group of aristocratic families came.

Nima, if we work hard for a long time, we may not be able to get an official position. Once you come here, you want to be an official based on your surname, regardless of your ability?Can't bear it!

Li Xian was very happy to read the various news sent to him by Xin Ge every day, just like watching the excitement.

Xinge is dedicated to mobile phone messages. Originally, Li Xian wanted to name this department Information Department, but Zheng Qi thought the painting style was too inconsistent, so he changed it to Xinge.

Li Xian has nothing to do. After tossing Xin Ge, he met this group of people who came here for nothing. After these people were scolded by the people in Chang'an, Li Xian turned around and ran away—— Go to training!

The tears that are shed now are all the water in his head at the beginning, he should have discussed with Zheng Qi, and then let Zheng Qi go!Even if he is the regent, such things as military training can't be too much, at least he has to put on a show, God knows he hasn't suffered at the grassroots level from the beginning!

To train soldiers, one must have soldiers to train. Li Xian did not choose from the existing army. He directly recruited soldiers around Chang'an, and the conditions were very good. Compared with the current ordinary army soldiers, the salary is doubled. However, he also explained in advance that in this army, his main job is to be a soldier, and there will be no such thing as returning to do farm work when the farming season is busy, which is not the same as the existing military system.

By the way, if you come to this army, you have to prepare hard, and you don't just sign up to come, you have to accept the assessment.

Li Xian added everything he could think of. As for the assessment, it was mainly about physical fitness, and those who didn't meet the physical fitness standards should be ignored.

Li Xian's initial plan was to select [-] people for this army to train, and then expand it if the results are good, but there should not be too many people, and the location of the army should be kept secret. Since it is a secret weapon, it should be kept secret to the end.

He and Zheng Qi chose a ravine nearby for training. After Zheng Qi saw Li Xian's training plan, he thought about a letter and called Zheng Jin, who was studying with Lou Shide, back.

Li Xian looked at him a little strangely: "Why did you call him back? General Lou is still full of praise for him, and he really wants to accept him as a disciple."

"I think your training plan is good, let him try it."

Fuck... Li Xian was startled at the time, his training plan looks very inhuman in this era to be honest, ahem, the militarized management of later generations, but Li Xian never expected it, Zheng Qi actually I want to send my brother there.

This is my brother?

Li Xian couldn't help but said: "Stop making trouble, this training is not just for fun, it's not good for him because his bones haven't grown yet, not to mention...why would Ah Jin go this way?"

Zheng Jin has a good background, and he can follow the path of liberal arts if he is not a general, so why do he have to work hard?

Zheng Qi said, "It's not like asking him to follow him all the way. He can follow as much as he can. You have to go through hardships to understand that starting a business is not easy."

Li Xian rolled his eyes: "I really miss how much you have suffered."

"En?" Zheng Qi glanced at him with a half-smile.

Li Xian looked at Zheng Qi and suddenly understood what Zheng Qi was thinking. Weapons with huge lethality like special forces must be in his own hands. Li Xian needs an heir, but this heir must be loyal to the emperor. Zheng Jin is a very Good candidate.

Of course, there may be Zheng Qi's selfishness in it. He wants to give his younger brother a little protection. He can't be a lifetime just relying on his childhood friendship, and he can't protect Zheng Jin for a lifetime. A good road will do.

Li Xian sighed, Zheng Qi basically raised his younger brother as his son.As a result, before Zheng Qi's letter was sent out, Lou Shide wrote over there: Dear, we won the battle, Dashi decided to admit defeat, and quickly send someone to sign a new treaty!
