I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Luo Shixing said that he wanted to give credit to Xiao Shanshi, but in order not to arouse the dislike of the bigwigs in the court, he still reported the data directly in accordance with his past habits.

Anyway, Xiao Shanshi's credit doesn't need him to beautify anything, just relying on these data is enough.

So when the good news came to Beijing, everyone was relieved at first, and they all felt that it was the best decision to send Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei there.

However, they realized that they were happy too early—it was a woman who made such a great contribution!

This made them very uncomfortable. There had never been a precedent for Chaoshang to reward women for their military exploits!

On the contrary, Princess Taiping was very happy. She ran into the palace with her pregnant belly and said to her mother, "Mother, Lynx's vision is really good. This Xiao Shanshi can be regarded as a strange woman, so she must be rewarded well."

The current female officials are all promoted. It is really hard to say what merits they have. They are all doing ordinary things. If they are men, it is nothing.

But it’s different for women. Women want to be treated the same as men. No, it’s basically impossible to be treated the same as men. .

Now that these female officials can be replaced at any time, no matter how anxious everyone is, there is nothing they can do about it. Xiao Shanshi finally came out, but she has to be protected, and maybe they will rely on her to make a fortune in the future.

Princess Taiping has her own ambitions, her mother can be the emperor, why can't she be the crown prince?But only ambition is not enough, she also needs help.

Wu Zhao understood a little bit about her daughter's thoughts, but she didn't give an answer, but said, "Let's see what the court has to say."

Princess Taiping frowned, what else can I say?These people definitely don't want to.

Of course she didn't want to, so someone suggested on the spot: "It's better to reward her husband."

Sorry, my little lady is not married yet.

The court didn't know much about Xiao Shanshi, the last time it was just a chat after dinner, a small county magistrate in a remote place didn't deserve their attention, this was the first time Xiao Shanshi broke into the public eye.

After hearing that Xiao Shanshi was not married, many people were moved. If her husband was really rewarded... what a good candidate for a daughter-in-law. As long as their son married Xiao Shanshi, he would immediately have a ready-made military reward to inherit.

So when the court was arguing whether to reward Xiao Shanshi, Xiao Shanshi's materials were sent to many people.

In the beginning, it was just low-level officials who wanted to find a way out for their sons. When everyone knew that Xiao Shanshi was from the Xiao family in Lanling, the high-ranking officials were also tempted.

Not to mention the question of military exploits, isn't it just right for such a powerful woman from aristocratic family to marry her unpromising son?I don't have to worry about my son's future, anyway, I have my daughter-in-law to help.

So many people who felt that their families were worthy of marriage with the Lanling Xiao family began to test the Xiao family.

But the problem is that Xiao Shanshi is not stupid. It is true that she has a relatively distant relationship with her family, but they are also relatives.

Xiao Shanshi sent a letter directly to her family, bluntly saying that she would not get married, and even if she got married, she would recruit a spouse. She wrote a sentence at the end of the letter: She is married, and the military achievements belong to other people. House's.

In fact, Xiao Shanshi is not afraid of anything else, but she is afraid that her family will sell her, and the only ones who can help her at that time are their envoys, nothing else.

But even Luo Shixing is a bit dangerous to the family of the upper family, so Xiao Shanshi decided to try to solve it by herself first. If it still doesn't work, she has to find other ways, for example, to act first and get married directly. She is the county magistrate, and her parents No, the marriage can be decided by herself, but such a hasty marriage is not what she wants.

Fortunately, she didn't intend to focus on her married life at first, and life is not perfect.

After the Xiao family received her letter, they didn't immediately understand it. They were all waiting to see what the princes in court would do.

And at this time, Chaoshang really thought of a way to get the best of both worlds—doesn't Xiao Shanshi have a younger brother?Wouldn't it be enough to just give the lord to her brother?Anyway, her brother also made meritorious service this time.

Princess Taiping was really eye-opening, and she was so angry that she wanted to ask for an explanation, but she is pregnant now, and even Wu Zhao told her not to waste her mind on these things.

Xue Shao even said: "The more trouble you make, the more confident they will be."

Now there are several groups of forces in the court, one group supports the emperor's heir like Di Renjie, one group supports Wu Chengsi, another group supports Wu Sansi, and another group supports Princess Taiping.

Among them, Princess Taiping is the most powerful, but she is also the most taboo of the ministers in the court, but they will stop everything that Princess Taiping wants to do.

Princess Taiping has been under a lot of pressure recently, she thought for a while and said, "I'll write a letter to Luo Wujiu!"

If he can't handle the nobles, can it be said that Luo Shixing can't handle it?

For some reason, both the princess and the son-in-law were full of confidence in Luo Shixing, thinking that even if he was thousands of miles away, he could influence the court situation.

It just so happened that the victory report came to Luoyang together with Luo Shixing's memorial. Everyone can put Xiao Shanshi's matter aside for a moment. When discussing meritorious deeds and rewards, we must start with great achievements.

Wu Zhao was also very satisfied with the speed of the two children's work. When they were appointed as adjutants, it was not that no one objected, but Wu Zhao finally pushed them down.

Now it seems that these two children are indeed capable. Although Cheng Jingwei has made outstanding military achievements, the logistics of the battle are also very important, and Luo Shixing is also an expert in this regard.

But for Cheng Jingwei and Luo Shixing's meritorious deeds, Wu Zhao was not in a hurry, but said: "Now the rebel army has not been completely wiped out, and the reward will be given after the rebellion is completely suppressed."

Now the reward for meritorious deeds is just to increase the lords of Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei a little bit, but if we wait until the end to discuss meritorious deeds, these two children may really be able to be knighted.

This title is different from those lords. The lord is just a good name, but the real title has fiefs, taxes, and even the possibility of becoming a vassal.

Wu Zhao didn't want to have back-and-forth discussions, and just waited for the two children to settle things, and then they would have another big one.

Minister of the DPRK and China: ...

Of course they know that it is too early to discuss meritorious deeds and deeds, but this is not to ignore Xiao Shanshi's matter first, procrastinate for a while, or even wait, maybe Xiao Shanshi's younger brother has higher military achievements than hers, At that time, it will be justifiable to give the meritorious service to her brother.

It's a pity that the queen didn't cooperate. If that's the case, then change the direction. It just so happened that Luo Shixing also provided them with a topic-the Lingnan ink corruption case.

More than half of the granary is empty, and the number of people who are empty pay has become the crime of the Tang Dynasty. Every item of the above data is appalling.

This even directly exposed another thing, that is, if the governor of a state is greedy for ink, it will affect one state, but if the governor of Lingnan Wuguan is greedy for ink, it will directly suck the blood of the five states.

Originally, this time the rebel army occupied so many places so powerfully that it made the whole court feel ashamed and very angry, but now they finally found a breakthrough-it turned out that this result was caused by the economic strategy.

If there is enough food and grass and Zhechong Mansion has enough troops, it is impossible for those places in Lingnan to fall so quickly!

This incident made everyone angry. Although there are no real honest officials these days, everyone actually has a tacit understanding. Even corruption is within a certain range, so it will not affect anything if it is not easy to be convicted.

Jinglue made this appearance very ugly, plus he connived at his eldest son for delaying the military plane, and directly punished him for several crimes. slave.

This sentence seems a bit heavy, but it is not very heavy just by looking at the impact. After all, he indirectly caused the slaughter of Yongzhou City.

Even if he didn't mention the common people, he couldn't afford to pay for the lives of Yongzhou Governor's family.

This matter has not been discussed for such a long time, and what really gets everyone to discuss is actually another matter-whether the Lingnan Economic Strategy is necessary or not.

The person in this position must have a clear mind in order to make Lingnan stable enough. As for prosperity... don't think about it, it's already very good if you can rebel every day.

Therefore, it is very dependent on the ability of the officials themselves. Basically, if you meet a good official, Lingnan will be stable, and if you encounter a waste, Lingnan will be like this now.

Everyone felt that this strategic envoy could actually be dispensed with, and that it was unacceptable for such a large scope of influence to be an economic strategic envoy.

Especially in the beginning, the establishment of a strategic envoy is actually equivalent to a permanent position of a marching chief, in order to suppress Lingnan and prevent troubles and problems. Now, who can stand the direct reverse effect?

Some people think that there should be no further establishment of economic envoys, but some people think that an economic envoy is needed, but a person with strong ability must be selected, and locals cannot be selected, otherwise it will not be safe for locals to connect in series.

So here comes the problem, there is xenophobia over there, everyone knows what will happen if you don't choose local people and send officials to the court.

Wu Zhao looked at Chaoshang, who was arguing so lively with you and me, and knew that this was not a big deal at all, and it was just because they wanted to skip Xiao Shanshi's award topic.

So she directly cut the mess with a sharp knife: "Let the governor of Jiaozhou temporarily act as the economic envoy, and clarify the affairs of the five states in the south of the Lingnan before resigning."

Luo Shixing, who was already going back from Guangzhou:? ? ? ? ?
