President of Datang [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 138
After Qingkong finished speaking, he carefully looked at Li Tan's face, and found that Li Tan's expression was calm. He just wanted to ask Li Tan if he wanted to see him, but Li Tan broke out.
"I don't want to see these horrible governors again! I won't see anyone today!"
Li Tan exploded without warning, and was taken aback even when it was cleared. He hid aside and shivered, daring not to speak.
But he didn't say anything because Li Tan had a sense of proportion even if he made a fuss. He said that he didn't see you today, not that he didn't see you, so that's okay.
Zhu Xieli had never seen Li Tan blowing his hair like this, so he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Okay, don't be angry, if you don't see him, you won't see him."
While holding Li Tan's hand, he turned his head and asked, "What is the governor of Ningzhou doing here?"
Coincidentally, I don’t know about Qing Kong. As soon as he got the news, he hurried over to report it. It’s really because these governors have challenged the lower limit of human beings one by one recently. Now Qing Kong feels his heart sink when he hears the word “Inspector”, and he forgot to ask Ning The governor of the state came here.
Zhu Xieli quickly signaled to Qingkong to settle down the governor of Ningzhou first, and then asked clearly about his purpose.
Cleared and hurried out, only Zhu Xieli and Li Tan were left in the room for a while.
Zhu Xieli saw that no one was there, so he hugged and hugged Li Tan boldly, and said while stroking his hair: "Ningzhou is adjacent to Chang'an, and the governor of Ningzhou must be a safe person."
Li Tan snorted and said, "Before, I thought the governor of Yuanzhou was a safe person, but what he and his subordinates are doing!"
Naturally, Zhu Xieli couldn't speak for the governor of Yuanzhou, but he still analyzed patiently: "The governor of Yuanzhou took the initiative to come here because you arrested his brother-in-law. Now the governor of Ningzhou should not be?"
Li Tan thought for a while: "Not necessarily, who knows if the person we arrested in Yuanzhou has anything to do with him, what if?"
When the governors refused to make excuses before, although Li Tan felt that these people had a tendency to stand on their own feet, he still felt that the governors might be worried that he would be the next Anlu Mountain, and they were also trying to protect the border and the people.
Now?
These governors are so guarded!The people under their rule are almost ruined by them!
Zhu Xieli really had no way to refute for a while, so he had to go out and order people in a low voice to check whether the officials of the Yuanzhou prefecture had anything to do with the governor of Ningzhou.
As long as there is some relationship, even if it is an indistinguishable relative relationship!
After Zhu Xieli gave the order, the people below all felt that this was going to implicate the whole family.
However, they didn't feel that there was anything wrong. In fact, the governor was really hated.
It was the state government officials that Wang Jian harmed, this one is good, he was directly promoted, and even the people under his rule were not spared!
After Zhu Xieli came back, he said: "I asked them to investigate. If they can find anything, it will save us from being too passive."
Only then did Li Tan feel better, but he still said, "Then I don't want to see him today either!"
Zhu Xieli said with a rather funny smile: "Okay, okay, see you."
Only then did Li Tan reluctantly let his breath go, Zhu Xieli had just coaxed him better, and trotted back after clearing the other side, with a hesitant look on his face.
Seeing him like this, Li Tan felt a little helpless, so he said, "Let's talk."
Only then did Qing Kong say: "The governor of Ningzhou said that there is no other meaning. He just heard that the king lives here, so he came here to pay a visit."
Li Tan hummed and said: "If you don't have anything to show your courtesy, you are either rape or robbery."
Qing Kong was also a little dumbfounded: "It seems...it's not true, I think he is a little scared."
Zhu Xieli was a little curious: "Afraid? What is he afraid of?"
What else can I be afraid of? I am afraid that Li Tan will kill him.
The governor of Ningzhou didn't pay much attention to Li Tan at first, and these local officials hadn't heard much about King Ning's deeds.
Even if I return to Beijing to report on my work, I don't feel deeply when I hear some rumors.
After all, the people who talked about the game with Li before were basically high-level bosses, and the governor of Yizhou was a figure no matter where he was placed. However, he still had to be careful to be a man when he entered Beijing.
So the governor of Ningzhou only had an impression of Li Tan: being favored and not easy to mess with.
But he doesn't know exactly where it's not easy to provoke.
But now he knew, and when he remembered that Li Tan had excused him so nicely before, but he refused him very simply, he fell into a huge panic.
Although Li Tan didn't intentionally spread rumors, the governor of Ningzhou naturally had his own news channel. He already knew that Li Tan chopped off the heads of two governors with a knife.
No, not just the two governors, the officials of the two state capitals have been cleaned up from top to bottom.
In the past, when encountering such a thing, the governor of Ningzhou would probably go directly to the Shu and ask the court to punish Li Tan severely, but the question is where is the court now?
Even if he wrote it, he might not be able to send it over, so let's just come over and worship the mountain.
On the way here, the governor of Ningzhou had already decided—retire and return home!
Don't wait for King Ning to clean him up, he'd better pack up his bag and leave.
If you go by yourself, you can still save one life, but if it is too late, the whole family will lose their lives!
After listening to Qing Kong's narration, Li Tan was rather dumbfounded. What do these people think of him?
Is he the type to kill innocent people indiscriminately?How many of these people he killed were good people?
However, after thinking about it, he felt that in this troubled world, it was better to be feared than not to be taken seriously.
Although he felt that the governor of Ningzhou was very winking, Li Tan still left him alone for two days. After finding out that the original officials of Yuanzhou, even the small officials, had no relationship with him, Li Tan decided to meet Ning. Governor of the state.
The governor of Ningzhou looks a bit older than the governor of Yuanzhou, but his appearance is also better, and his figure is also in good shape. He looks like a handsome and handsome uncle.
Li Tan's first feeling when he saw this person was that he knew how to restrain himself. The governor of Ningzhou was like a young man who could maintain his figure at his age, and he couldn't do it without restraint.
After seeing Li Tan, the governor of Ningzhou calmly saluted, "Your Majesty, I have seen His Royal Highness King Ning."
Li Tan said with a smile: "Jia Cishi doesn't need to be polite, please sit down quickly."
The two people had a good impression of each other when they first met. After all, they are all face controlers. When they saw each other's face, they secretly increased their favorability. After initial contact, they found that each other's conversation was also very satisfactory.
Li Tan had a strange feeling in his heart, as if the governor of Ningzhou didn't look like a bad person.
But soon he warned himself in his heart that he should not judge by his appearance, after all, Wang Jian and the governor of Yuanzhou were not bad in terms of appearance.
The governor of Ningzhou also felt strange that His Royal Highness King Ning looked like a gentle gentleman, not like the legendary tyrant at all.
The governor of Ningzhou said: "I heard that His Highness is going south, but he has not greeted him from afar, and I still look forward to His Highness's blessing."
Li Tan said with a smile: "Jia Cishi is the official of the state's parents, how can he leave him lightly?"
If it was in the past, the governor of Ningzhou might have thought that Li Tan was talking politely, but now he couldn't help but think, is this Li Tan blaming him for abandoning his official duties and running here?
The desire to survive made Jia Shishi open his mouth and said: "I am mainly here to ask His Highness for help."
"Oh?" Li Tan was a little surprised: "Help? What's wrong with Ningzhou?"
Jia Jieshi smiled wryly and said: "The An Lushan army has approached Chang'an, and now there are righteous men in Chang'an organizing resistance, but they are just stragglers. I can ask His Majesty for help."
After hearing this, Li Tan sneered in his heart. This group of people was really dragging their feet and going backwards. Before, he wanted to make excuses, and he found excuses one after another. Now he took the initiative to ask for help.
Of course, Jia Cishi's cooperation is considered cooperation. If it is possible, Li Tan doesn't want to go anywhere, where there will be bloody storms.
Does he not want fame?
So Li Tan asked with a serious expression: "How is Chang'an now?"
Jia Jieshi shook his head and sighed: "The wealthy households rushed to flee, and the people who remained were ordinary people, but there were some knight-errants who had a sense of loyalty and wanted to protect Chang'an."
Li Tan sighed, these rangers are not those knights in the game, they are not that powerful, at most they are a little bit better than ordinary people, how can a group of mobs resist An Lushan with their blood? ?
Thinking of this, Li Tan didn't want to waste any more time here, so he said: "So, I just want to send troops to defend Chang'an. If I can defend it, I will defend it. If I can't, I will die in the city."
After hearing this, the governor of Ningzhou was immediately in awe, stood up and saluted Li Tan and said, "Your Highness has great ambitions, and I am willing to follow you."
Regardless of King Ning's character, whether he is a tyrant or not, at this moment, in the mind of the governor of Ningzhou, this His Highness is much taller than the saint who abandoned the city and fled.
Zhi Yi, who was hiding in the corner and eating an apple, curled his lips. There is no such thing as martyrdom. Now Li Tan, as long as he doesn't want to die, no one can let him die!
Of course, it is possible to destroy all the weapons in his hands, but the problem is that Li Tan has always been prepared for danger in times of peace, why did he spend so long in the academy before he came out this time?
It's just for the value of master and apprentice just in case, even if someone can destroy his weapon, he can replace it with a new one every minute.
This meeting can be said to be quite satisfactory for both parties, and Li Tan even asked a few more questions about the current situation in Chang'an.
The conclusion is - chaos.
Today's Chang'an has become chaotic to a certain extent, and the previous rule of law and Qingming no longer exist. The three-pronged approach of Jing Zhaoyin of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple was able to suppress the ghosts and monsters in Chang'an.
But now no one can deter them. The people in Chang'an were already in dire straits before Anlu Mountain came.
Li Tan sighed, he believed that there are many good people in the world, but in troubled times, good people are always no match for bad people.
After the conversation, he asked the governor of Ningzhou to rest first.
After the governor of Ningzhou left, he suddenly realized one thing—didn't the previous clearance mean that the governor of Ningzhou planned to retire and return to his hometown?
Although the governor of Ningzhou didn't look old at all, the problem was that when he met the governor of Ningzhou this time, he never mentioned the matter of returning home.
Of course he wouldn't feel that Qing Kong was lying, there was no need for that.
Therefore, there must be something that made the governor of Ningzhou suddenly change his mind.
Li Tan is a little tangled, he can't let people ask you why you didn't leave your old age and return home.
But if the governor of Ningzhou doesn't take the initiative to leave, how can Li Tan let him go?
After all, even if he has a good impression of the governor of Ningzhou, but just to be on the safe side, he still hopes to clean up the entire Ningzhou government, at least the right to speak is in his own hands.
Ningzhou is the only way to Liangzhou, even if it is a detour, it must pass through Ningzhou.
Of course, he can also repeat the same trick and check to see if the governor of Ningzhou has committed any violations of law and discipline.
However, if Li Tanxuan was asked, he would rather have a headache than the governor of Ningzhou be as mad as the governor of Yuanzhou and Lanzhou.
Just as Li Tan was gnawing his fingers and thinking about how to replace his own people, the governor of Ningzhou was wandering outside.
The person who followed him for a stroll was someone no one could have imagined—Zhu Xieli.
The governor of Ningzhou didn't know Zhu Xieli's identity, but he heard that he was a celebrity beside King Ning.
Originally, he was thinking about how to find out King Ning's preferences and prescribe the right medicine. He happened to run into this celebrity on the street.
The governor of Ningzhou enthusiastically invited Zhu Xieli to dinner. After thinking about it, Zhu Xieli sent someone to talk to Li, and then left with the governor of Ningzhou.
During the dinner, the two exchanged cups and talked a lot, but all of them were just for the occasion, the two had their own secrets, and neither of them had a heart-to-heart talk.
It's just that after having a meal with Zhu Xieli, the governor of Ningzhou didn't dare to underestimate Li Tan—even anyone around him has such a scheming heart, let alone others.
However, the governor of Ningzhou didn't know that Zhu Xieli was not just a random person. In terms of the city, it is estimated that ten Li Tans could not compare with one of him.
Otherwise, if he didn't have this ability, how could he find a place to live for the tribe and rebuild the city when his father died tragically and half of the tribe was wiped out?
It is true that Li Tan has given him a lot of help, but in fact Li Tan's role is only to speed up the process. Even without Li Tan, Zhu Xieli can still support himself.
But don't forget, in the original book, Zhu Xieli's family was also ruined, and in the end he became the emperor.
The governor of Ningzhou was bluffed by Zhu Xieli to let go of his little Jiujiu, and while inviting Zhu Xieli to take a stroll in Yuanzhou, he was thinking about what to say.
Zhu Xieli also wanted to see what he wanted to do, so he followed him, not talking if he could.
The two were silent for a while, and the governor of Ningzhou suddenly said, "The last time I came to Yuanzhou was three years ago."
Zhu Xieli didn't answer, but turned to look at him to signal that he was listening.
The governor of Ningzhou continued: "The Yuanzhou at that time was not what it is now."
Zhu Xieli raised his eyebrows: "What does that look like?"
The governor of Ningzhou thought for a while and said: "There is no life. Although the state capital is considered prosperous, the expressions on the faces of the common people are numb, as if all his strength has been exhausted by being alive."
Zhu Xieli thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It was indeed the case when the king brought us here."
The governor of Ningzhou continued his efforts and said: "At that time, everything in Yuanzhou City was for Fengyue Street, and other things... were not very good. After I walked around here, I was actually proud of it. Compared with Speaking of which, Ningzhou is much better than here, so I also think that it is well managed."
When Zhu Xieli heard this, he knew that he was about to get to the point, so he asked, "What is Ningzhou like?"
The governor of Ningzhou smiled and said: "I won't boast. I'm afraid that in two days, the king will come to Ningzhou in person. At that time, Mr. Xiaolang will go to see it in person. However, even though I think Ningzhou is good, compared with His Highness, Still can't help but feel ashamed, His Highness has only been in Yuanzhou for a few days? Yuanzhou has changed a lot, and the people have smiles on their faces, His Highness... is the one who truly cares about the people and cares about their livelihood."
Zhu Xieli smiled reservedly. Although the governor of Ningzhou praised Li Tan, Zhu Xieli was happier to hear it than to praise him.
Zhu Xieli thought to himself: Of course my Ah Tian is very good, you are not as normal as you are.
The governor of Ningzhou did not get a response from Zhu Xieli, but after seeing Zhu Xieli's expression, he continued: "When I met His Highness today, I said that I would be willing to follow him. Move, now that I have seen Yuanzhou City, I will go through fire and water for His Highness!"
Zhu Xieli asked knowingly, "Oh? Why is this?"
The governor of Ningzhou said with emotion: "Because I haven't seen a local official who is as hands-on as His Highness for a long, long time."
Zhu Xieli felt that he understood the meaning of Ningzhou Inspector, so he said: "Nowadays everything is going to be prosperous, it is because of you and me to work together to help the king create a peaceful and prosperous world."
The governor of Ningzhou said seriously: "Naturally."
Zhu Xieli understood that the governor of Ningzhou might just want to confess to Li Tan through himself, and the governor of Ningzhou also felt that Zhu Xieli understood what he meant.
The two of them parted ways, and when Zhu Xieli went back, he saw Li Tan raised his chin and looked at him unkindly, saying, "I'm so busy here, you still have the time to go out and play, you wait, Tomorrow morning, I won’t eat to beat the governor of Ningzhou.”
Zhu Xieli didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this: "The governor of Ningzhou will follow you with all his heart, why did you beat him up?"
Li Tan's eyes widened: "Zhu Xieli, you really have changed, you don't even care why I don't eat!"
Zhu Xieli: ...
The farthest road he has traveled is probably Li Tan's routine.
In the face of Li Tan's nonsense, Zhu Xieli walked over very simply and pushed him forward, pinched Li Tan's slender waist and began to kiss.
Li Tan originally wanted to flirt with Zhu Xieli in his spare time. After pushing him meaningfully at first, he quickly reached out and wrapped his arms around Zhu Xieli's neck to cooperate.
When Zhu Xieli let go of him, Li Tan said out of breath, "I know...gag me, hmph."
Zhu Xieli gnawed at his neck lightly, and said with a chuckle, "Don't you like it?"
Well, I still like it.
Li Tan noticed that Zhu Xieli's hands were getting more and more restless, so he couldn't help but pushed him and said, "It's almost done, it's broad daylight, what did you say when you ran out with the governor of Ningzhou?"
Zhu Xieli withdrew his hand somewhat disconsolately, pulled Li Tan to sit down and said, "But with those words, I think the governor of Ningzhou probably doesn't have the heart to retire and return home. He wants to follow you."
Li Tan was quite surprised: "Follow me? Is he not afraid of death?"
The governor of Ningzhou was still cowardly before, ready to pack up and leave, why is he willing to follow him now?
After Zhu Xieli repeated what he said to the governor of Ningzhou, he said with a smile: "It must be because I see that you are kind to the people and know that you have a kind heart, so naturally I am not afraid."
Li Tan snorted and said, "That's because he didn't see how the governor of Yuanzhou was beheaded."
After saying this, Li Tan sighed and said, "But that's fine, as long as he doesn't overdo it, I'll put up with him. The enemy is now, who has the time to pester them every day."
Zhu Xieli also breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that Li Tan would be confused by Wang Jian and the governor of Yuanzhou who couldn't believe these governors.
Anyway, judging from his conversation with the governor of Ningzhou, the governor of Ningzhou may not be a bad person.
Now that he decided to accept the governor of Ningzhou, Li Tan sorted out the matter of Yuanzhou and handed it over to the people sent by He Zhizhang.
Those students were certainly excited. After all, they learned so much to show off their strengths. However, Li Tan must be worried about handing over the land of a state to these rookies, so he directly dragged Du Fu over.
Du Fu originally thought that Li Tan received a lot of things in Yuanzhou, or asked him to calculate taxes or something.
After all, Yuanzhou and Lanzhou can be regarded as Li Tan's territory now, and the tax... If you want to hand it over to the court, you can't send it to the court, so you can only collect it yourself.
However, he never expected that Li Tan would ask him to be the governor of a state. Du Fu was a little surprised at that time, and quickly said, "How can I be the governor of a state?"
Li Tan said: "My fief is much larger than Yuanzhou, and you have supported it, so how can you not be the governor?"
Du Fu smiled bitterly: "Then how can it be the same?"
Although it is said that Li Tan's fiefdom is not small, in fact Li Tan only collects the taxes there, and the real administration is still under the control of local officials, and those officials are naturally under the control of the imperial court.
So Du Fu's business is actually not much, otherwise, where did he get the time to drink and write poems with Li Bai, He Zhizhang and others every day?
Of course Li Tan also knew about this situation, he waved his hand directly and said: "I have already planned everything here, you understand my habits, as long as you continue to do it according to this."
Seeing that Li Tan insisted, Du Fu could only take over the important task tremblingly.
Zhu Xieli was a little strange: "I thought...you would let Mr. Taibai come over."
He didn't expect Li Tan to ask Du Fu to come over.
Li Tan shook his head and said, "Mr. Taibai...isn't very suitable to run a state."
Li Bai is romantic by nature, and he is passionate and chivalrous. These are all advantages. However, such advantages are not suitable for being a governor of a state. They are too easy to be grasped and taken advantage of.
What makes Du Fu better than Li Bai is that he is more down-to-earth, which may have something to do with his background.
Moreover, Li Tan is a bit selfish, he still remembers Du Fu's "Song of the Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind", although the current Du Fu should not write such a poem again.
But his heart is actually still the same, so Li Tan will give him a chance to "shelter the underprivileged in the world and have a happy face".
Oh, the poor under the heaven is a bit big, it may not work, but it is still possible for a state.
There is no way to tell others about this.
The governor of Ningzhou led the way and took Li to talk about Ningzhou. It has to be said that after entering the boundary of Ningzhou, the whole folk customs seem to be different from Yuanzhou.
Although the people in Ningzhou are still working hard, it can be seen that they are still full of hope for life.
When passing by the fields, you can also hear laughter and laughter.
In Ningzhou, which is so close to Chang'an, the people can be so stable. Among other things, at least in terms of Anmin, the governor of Ningzhou has done a good job.
After arriving at the Ningzhou Mansion, Li Tan took a special look and found that the governor of Ningzhou did not act like that official, and the entire Ningzhou Mansion showed the most primitive style.
It does seem to be much stronger than Yuanzhou, and the governor of Ningzhou probably has the confidence to change his mind.
What surprised Li Tan even more was that after he arrived in Ningzhou to rest for a day, the governor of Ningzhou directly handed over all the government affairs. live.
Sima and Chang Shi had probably been reminded, and each of them looked like a quail when they saw Li Tan, and they didn't dare to say a word.
However, Li Tan didn't come here with the intention of finding fault. After seeing that the government affairs in Ningzhou were similar, he turned a blind eye.
The reason why they turn a blind eye is because Ningzhou is not an upright official from top to bottom, and there will be more or less corruption, but these people are more measured, which Li Tan can tolerate within range.
Moreover, these people did not care about the life and death of the people because of corruption, but the people lived quite well.
The governor of Ningzhou even talked about his plan with Li. It seemed that this man was also ambitious and wanted to build Ningzhou better.
Unfortunately, when the war broke out, everything had to be put on hold, and all the money in the treasury had to be used for conscription.
Li Tan is still very interested in conscription. The methods and regulations of conscription can reflect the vision of a local administrator.
Jia Inspector saw that Li Tan was interested in conscription, so he said cautiously: "The recruitment has already started, and I have formulated the standards in advance. Please look over it, Your Highness. If there is something wrong, I will revise it later."
Behind him, Chang Shi and Sima nodded quickly, and they didn't look like Yizhou Sima and Chang Shi at all.
Li Tan didn't have time to worry about this with them, he was also muttering in his heart - what kind of image is he being passed on?
While muttering, he glanced at the recruitment rules in his hand. To be honest, the governor of Ningzhou did have a conscience.
Recruiting soldiers requires at least fifteen years of age, and each family leaves a young and strong head to establish a household, so that the people will not be wiped out due to the war.
Judging from these two items alone, it already met Li Tan's requirements.
If he's recruiting, that's about it.
Li Tan nodded in satisfaction: "Well, it's very good of you to do so. I can rest assured that Ningzhou will be handed over to you."
When the governor of Ningzhou heard his words, he put his heart into his stomach.
God knows how afraid he was just now when Li Tan looked at him and suddenly got angry and said, "It's not working here, someone, drag him down and chop him up."
Fortunately, this Highness is not so cruel, and he understands the rules of officialdom very well.
The governor of Ningzhou asked cautiously: "Then... other people..."
Li Tan waved his hand: "Other people are used to cooperating with you, so you don't need to change too much. By the way, what is the relationship between you and the local people in Zhechong Mansion?"
The governor of Ningzhou immediately said: "The lower officials dare not have too close contacts with the generals."
Li Tan didn't speak but just looked at him with a half-smile, and Ningzhou Inspector had no choice but to apologize and said: "Nothing can be hidden from His Highness's eyes. He was transferred there with soldiers and horses, and there are not many people left in Zhechong Mansion."
Li Tan nodded. The reason why he was sure that the governor of Ningzhou must know the situation of Zhechong Mansion is because in this troubled world, only with soldiers in hand can he guarantee his safety.
All the troops in the state are in Zhechong Mansion. Even if the governor of Ningzhou had no contact with Captain Zhechong before, as long as he is not stupid, it is impossible for him not to keep in touch with Captain Zhechong now.
What surprised Li Tan was that Captain Zhechong had been transferred away.
He thought for a while and said, "The post of Lieutenant Zhechong of Ningzhou cannot be suspended for a long time, so I will reappoint it."
The governor of Ningzhou couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this. Before Li Tan told the governors of Lanzhou and Yuanzhou that he would kill them and then reappoint them, he thought it was out of line.
However, what he didn't expect was that His Royal Highness would dare to rush to the mansion!
After Li Longji came to the throne, the most taboo thing was the close relationship between the royal family or the officials of the frontier and the generals. Li Tan can be said to have directly hit Li Longji's Achilles' heel.
Li Tan saw the shock of the governor of Ningzhou, and directly took out the imperial edict and said: "The imperial court has allowed me to do things cheaply."
The governor of Ningzhou knelt down when he saw the imperial decree, and this time he felt really at ease.
At the same time, I told myself in my heart, don't think about what is there and what is not, just follow King Ning honestly.
After all, King Ning was powerful and recognized by the imperial court. Basically, no one was his opponent in this area, and the governor of Ningzhou would not trip Li Tan because of his going to Chang'an.
You must know that once Chang'an falls, Ningzhou will definitely be unlucky-he has a granary set up by the imperial court here!
Li Tan is also very cautious about Captain Zhechong in Ningzhou. This place is too important. If there is an emergency... He really has never fought Anlu Mountain. If he needs to retreat, he must come to Ningzhou for a temporary retreat .
He thought about it for a while and directly turned Yuan Zhe over. Anyway, Tubo would not come to make trouble now. Even if they did, he still had confidence in the mechanism set up by Meng Zhiya.
At least there is no problem with those institutions defending the city, but it is a pity that Chang'an is not easy to do this. After all, time is too tight, and Chang'an is too big, and many places need to be demolished.
Compared with direct reconstruction, dismantling and rebuilding, one more step will waste a lot of time.
Now An Lushan may not give him this time.
After Li Tan decided to go directly to Chang'an, he began to transfer troops to Ningzhou.
This is the first time that the people of Ningzhou have felt the wind and rain coming, but when they saw Li Tan's men heavily armed, their confidence in Li Tan's army was unprecedentedly high - after all, Li Tan's soldiers were capable of everything. It is the best, and the spirit is different.
The soldiers and horses he transferred lived in Zhechong Mansion temporarily, and the young and strong people who were conscripted before were originally depressed, but now after seeing Li Tan's soldiers and horses, they actually felt a little yearning.
Among other things, those armors are really beautiful.
When Li Tan heard people talking about it, he knew that the special armor that he had spent a long time with others was really useful.
The reason why he bothered so much was that he wanted the armor to be both practical and beautiful.
As long as it is a man, probably no one can resist such a romance of reloading cold weapons.
It was precisely because of this that many soldiers who had been conscripted into Zhechong Mansion in Ningzhou were secretly asking King Ning's army if they would accept them.
However, Li Tan was not happy about this matter, because the day when he and Zhu Xieli parted ways finally came.
When he went south, Zhu Xieli had said that he would leave, but the chaos in Lanzhou and Yuanzhou made him worry, so he stayed and waited until Li Tan smoothed out Ningzhou before preparing to leave .
Li Tan was very reluctant to part with him, wishing to overthrow their plan in minutes.
Li Tan hugged Zhu Xieli's waist and said, "Why don't you go, I don't think An Lushan can beat me."
Zhu Xieli didn't know where Li Tan's confidence came from, so he patted his head helplessly and said, "Letting them fight each other will reduce our casualties. Haven't we already planned it?"
Li Tan didn't say a word, of course he knew that this was the best way, and he also knew that if he changed someone, he might just drink practice wine with the other party.
But it's Zhu Xieli's turn... Even if he knows that Zhu Xieli is God's favorite cub, who is bigger than him, he still worries.
Zhu Xieli hugged him to comfort him all night, and Li Tan had no choice but to send him away the next day with a sigh.
The governor of Ningzhou didn't know what Zhu Xieli was going to do, he thought he was going to explore the way ahead of time, seeing that Li Tan was not happy, he said: "Chang'an is not in such a mess now, Your Highness doesn't need to worry too much. "
Li Tan shook his head: "It's not this, get ready, I'm leaving tomorrow."
Governor of Ningzhou:? ? ? ? ?
He looked at Li Tan's back with a blank face, and realized that he had no idea what His Highness was thinking.
You let that alien beauty go to explore the way, don't you go without waiting for a response?
However, the governor of Ningzhou didn't dare to ask a word, and began to talk to Li about the things he planned to travel.
Unlike before, Li Tan came to Beijing with a lot of fanfare, and put on as much pomp and pomp as he could, in order to calm the hearts of the people in the capital.
Although Li Tan felt that it was probably useless to do so, at the beginning Li Longji issued an edict with great fanfare to personally conscript the emperor.
How is the result?Just ran away quietly!
So Li Tan is ready to clean up the mess left by Li Longji.
The only good thing now is that An Lushan's army hasn't had time to enter Chang'an-the only thing Li Longji did right is probably to send people to stop An Lushan's army.
Although he did it entirely for himself to be able to run farther, those troops were simply for him to use later.
The news that Li Tan was going to Beijing spread from Ningzhou to the capital as if he had grown wings.
When he was in the capital, although many things happened, he was still low-key among the common people, and they didn't have a deep impression of him.
When it comes to his people, the things that the people think about the most are the events of the Great Jerub's visit to Beijing and the offering of prisoners from the Taimiao.
It has to be said that Li Tan's resume can still make the people somewhat at ease, but they still have doubts in their hearts.
They didn't dare to live up to their expectations, what if this one turned around and ran away?
On the day Li Tan entered Beijing, it could be said that the alley was empty.
He deliberately gave up the luxurious carriage, and directly rode on the horse in a soft armor - a general should have the demeanor of a general.
The only fly in the ointment is probably that his face is tender, and he doesn't look so imposing.
But this is also made up for by the neat army behind him.
Li Tan walked on the widest road and mountain in Chang'an, and the more he walked, the more depressed he became. He never thought that Chang'an would become so depressed one day.
All the people came to watch him, but there were not many people. He could see many wealthy households whose courtyards were empty wherever he looked.
Li Tan came all the way to the gate of his palace, looked up at the plaque of the palace, and felt a little emotional: he tried his best to save everyone from Chang'an, but turned around and ran back by himself.
Just when Li Tan was feeling emotional, he suddenly heard someone say: "His Royal Highness King Ning entered Beijing without permission, and the crime is conspiracy."
Li Tan was slightly taken aback when he heard this. At this time, is there still someone struggling with this?What about dying?
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Dali Temple Minister standing not far away and smiling at him.
The author has something to say: Thank you for the little angel who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution~
Thanks to the little angel who cast [Mine]: Kong is 1;
Thanks to the little angel who irrigated [nutrient solution]:
Empty is 30 bottles; 10 bottles of Yueliuhui and Tuermeow; 2 bottles of Weiwan and Kunomaji; 1 bottle of Huangtao Xiaolongbao;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
"I don't want to see these horrible governors again! I won't see anyone today!"
Li Tan exploded without warning, and was taken aback even when it was cleared. He hid aside and shivered, daring not to speak.
But he didn't say anything because Li Tan had a sense of proportion even if he made a fuss. He said that he didn't see you today, not that he didn't see you, so that's okay.
Zhu Xieli had never seen Li Tan blowing his hair like this, so he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Okay, don't be angry, if you don't see him, you won't see him."
While holding Li Tan's hand, he turned his head and asked, "What is the governor of Ningzhou doing here?"
Coincidentally, I don’t know about Qing Kong. As soon as he got the news, he hurried over to report it. It’s really because these governors have challenged the lower limit of human beings one by one recently. Now Qing Kong feels his heart sink when he hears the word “Inspector”, and he forgot to ask Ning The governor of the state came here.
Zhu Xieli quickly signaled to Qingkong to settle down the governor of Ningzhou first, and then asked clearly about his purpose.
Cleared and hurried out, only Zhu Xieli and Li Tan were left in the room for a while.
Zhu Xieli saw that no one was there, so he hugged and hugged Li Tan boldly, and said while stroking his hair: "Ningzhou is adjacent to Chang'an, and the governor of Ningzhou must be a safe person."
Li Tan snorted and said, "Before, I thought the governor of Yuanzhou was a safe person, but what he and his subordinates are doing!"
Naturally, Zhu Xieli couldn't speak for the governor of Yuanzhou, but he still analyzed patiently: "The governor of Yuanzhou took the initiative to come here because you arrested his brother-in-law. Now the governor of Ningzhou should not be?"
Li Tan thought for a while: "Not necessarily, who knows if the person we arrested in Yuanzhou has anything to do with him, what if?"
When the governors refused to make excuses before, although Li Tan felt that these people had a tendency to stand on their own feet, he still felt that the governors might be worried that he would be the next Anlu Mountain, and they were also trying to protect the border and the people.
Now?
These governors are so guarded!The people under their rule are almost ruined by them!
Zhu Xieli really had no way to refute for a while, so he had to go out and order people in a low voice to check whether the officials of the Yuanzhou prefecture had anything to do with the governor of Ningzhou.
As long as there is some relationship, even if it is an indistinguishable relative relationship!
After Zhu Xieli gave the order, the people below all felt that this was going to implicate the whole family.
However, they didn't feel that there was anything wrong. In fact, the governor was really hated.
It was the state government officials that Wang Jian harmed, this one is good, he was directly promoted, and even the people under his rule were not spared!
After Zhu Xieli came back, he said: "I asked them to investigate. If they can find anything, it will save us from being too passive."
Only then did Li Tan feel better, but he still said, "Then I don't want to see him today either!"
Zhu Xieli said with a rather funny smile: "Okay, okay, see you."
Only then did Li Tan reluctantly let his breath go, Zhu Xieli had just coaxed him better, and trotted back after clearing the other side, with a hesitant look on his face.
Seeing him like this, Li Tan felt a little helpless, so he said, "Let's talk."
Only then did Qing Kong say: "The governor of Ningzhou said that there is no other meaning. He just heard that the king lives here, so he came here to pay a visit."
Li Tan hummed and said: "If you don't have anything to show your courtesy, you are either rape or robbery."
Qing Kong was also a little dumbfounded: "It seems...it's not true, I think he is a little scared."
Zhu Xieli was a little curious: "Afraid? What is he afraid of?"
What else can I be afraid of? I am afraid that Li Tan will kill him.
The governor of Ningzhou didn't pay much attention to Li Tan at first, and these local officials hadn't heard much about King Ning's deeds.
Even if I return to Beijing to report on my work, I don't feel deeply when I hear some rumors.
After all, the people who talked about the game with Li before were basically high-level bosses, and the governor of Yizhou was a figure no matter where he was placed. However, he still had to be careful to be a man when he entered Beijing.
So the governor of Ningzhou only had an impression of Li Tan: being favored and not easy to mess with.
But he doesn't know exactly where it's not easy to provoke.
But now he knew, and when he remembered that Li Tan had excused him so nicely before, but he refused him very simply, he fell into a huge panic.
Although Li Tan didn't intentionally spread rumors, the governor of Ningzhou naturally had his own news channel. He already knew that Li Tan chopped off the heads of two governors with a knife.
No, not just the two governors, the officials of the two state capitals have been cleaned up from top to bottom.
In the past, when encountering such a thing, the governor of Ningzhou would probably go directly to the Shu and ask the court to punish Li Tan severely, but the question is where is the court now?
Even if he wrote it, he might not be able to send it over, so let's just come over and worship the mountain.
On the way here, the governor of Ningzhou had already decided—retire and return home!
Don't wait for King Ning to clean him up, he'd better pack up his bag and leave.
If you go by yourself, you can still save one life, but if it is too late, the whole family will lose their lives!
After listening to Qing Kong's narration, Li Tan was rather dumbfounded. What do these people think of him?
Is he the type to kill innocent people indiscriminately?How many of these people he killed were good people?
However, after thinking about it, he felt that in this troubled world, it was better to be feared than not to be taken seriously.
Although he felt that the governor of Ningzhou was very winking, Li Tan still left him alone for two days. After finding out that the original officials of Yuanzhou, even the small officials, had no relationship with him, Li Tan decided to meet Ning. Governor of the state.
The governor of Ningzhou looks a bit older than the governor of Yuanzhou, but his appearance is also better, and his figure is also in good shape. He looks like a handsome and handsome uncle.
Li Tan's first feeling when he saw this person was that he knew how to restrain himself. The governor of Ningzhou was like a young man who could maintain his figure at his age, and he couldn't do it without restraint.
After seeing Li Tan, the governor of Ningzhou calmly saluted, "Your Majesty, I have seen His Royal Highness King Ning."
Li Tan said with a smile: "Jia Cishi doesn't need to be polite, please sit down quickly."
The two people had a good impression of each other when they first met. After all, they are all face controlers. When they saw each other's face, they secretly increased their favorability. After initial contact, they found that each other's conversation was also very satisfactory.
Li Tan had a strange feeling in his heart, as if the governor of Ningzhou didn't look like a bad person.
But soon he warned himself in his heart that he should not judge by his appearance, after all, Wang Jian and the governor of Yuanzhou were not bad in terms of appearance.
The governor of Ningzhou also felt strange that His Royal Highness King Ning looked like a gentle gentleman, not like the legendary tyrant at all.
The governor of Ningzhou said: "I heard that His Highness is going south, but he has not greeted him from afar, and I still look forward to His Highness's blessing."
Li Tan said with a smile: "Jia Cishi is the official of the state's parents, how can he leave him lightly?"
If it was in the past, the governor of Ningzhou might have thought that Li Tan was talking politely, but now he couldn't help but think, is this Li Tan blaming him for abandoning his official duties and running here?
The desire to survive made Jia Shishi open his mouth and said: "I am mainly here to ask His Highness for help."
"Oh?" Li Tan was a little surprised: "Help? What's wrong with Ningzhou?"
Jia Jieshi smiled wryly and said: "The An Lushan army has approached Chang'an, and now there are righteous men in Chang'an organizing resistance, but they are just stragglers. I can ask His Majesty for help."
After hearing this, Li Tan sneered in his heart. This group of people was really dragging their feet and going backwards. Before, he wanted to make excuses, and he found excuses one after another. Now he took the initiative to ask for help.
Of course, Jia Cishi's cooperation is considered cooperation. If it is possible, Li Tan doesn't want to go anywhere, where there will be bloody storms.
Does he not want fame?
So Li Tan asked with a serious expression: "How is Chang'an now?"
Jia Jieshi shook his head and sighed: "The wealthy households rushed to flee, and the people who remained were ordinary people, but there were some knight-errants who had a sense of loyalty and wanted to protect Chang'an."
Li Tan sighed, these rangers are not those knights in the game, they are not that powerful, at most they are a little bit better than ordinary people, how can a group of mobs resist An Lushan with their blood? ?
Thinking of this, Li Tan didn't want to waste any more time here, so he said: "So, I just want to send troops to defend Chang'an. If I can defend it, I will defend it. If I can't, I will die in the city."
After hearing this, the governor of Ningzhou was immediately in awe, stood up and saluted Li Tan and said, "Your Highness has great ambitions, and I am willing to follow you."
Regardless of King Ning's character, whether he is a tyrant or not, at this moment, in the mind of the governor of Ningzhou, this His Highness is much taller than the saint who abandoned the city and fled.
Zhi Yi, who was hiding in the corner and eating an apple, curled his lips. There is no such thing as martyrdom. Now Li Tan, as long as he doesn't want to die, no one can let him die!
Of course, it is possible to destroy all the weapons in his hands, but the problem is that Li Tan has always been prepared for danger in times of peace, why did he spend so long in the academy before he came out this time?
It's just for the value of master and apprentice just in case, even if someone can destroy his weapon, he can replace it with a new one every minute.
This meeting can be said to be quite satisfactory for both parties, and Li Tan even asked a few more questions about the current situation in Chang'an.
The conclusion is - chaos.
Today's Chang'an has become chaotic to a certain extent, and the previous rule of law and Qingming no longer exist. The three-pronged approach of Jing Zhaoyin of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple was able to suppress the ghosts and monsters in Chang'an.
But now no one can deter them. The people in Chang'an were already in dire straits before Anlu Mountain came.
Li Tan sighed, he believed that there are many good people in the world, but in troubled times, good people are always no match for bad people.
After the conversation, he asked the governor of Ningzhou to rest first.
After the governor of Ningzhou left, he suddenly realized one thing—didn't the previous clearance mean that the governor of Ningzhou planned to retire and return to his hometown?
Although the governor of Ningzhou didn't look old at all, the problem was that when he met the governor of Ningzhou this time, he never mentioned the matter of returning home.
Of course he wouldn't feel that Qing Kong was lying, there was no need for that.
Therefore, there must be something that made the governor of Ningzhou suddenly change his mind.
Li Tan is a little tangled, he can't let people ask you why you didn't leave your old age and return home.
But if the governor of Ningzhou doesn't take the initiative to leave, how can Li Tan let him go?
After all, even if he has a good impression of the governor of Ningzhou, but just to be on the safe side, he still hopes to clean up the entire Ningzhou government, at least the right to speak is in his own hands.
Ningzhou is the only way to Liangzhou, even if it is a detour, it must pass through Ningzhou.
Of course, he can also repeat the same trick and check to see if the governor of Ningzhou has committed any violations of law and discipline.
However, if Li Tanxuan was asked, he would rather have a headache than the governor of Ningzhou be as mad as the governor of Yuanzhou and Lanzhou.
Just as Li Tan was gnawing his fingers and thinking about how to replace his own people, the governor of Ningzhou was wandering outside.
The person who followed him for a stroll was someone no one could have imagined—Zhu Xieli.
The governor of Ningzhou didn't know Zhu Xieli's identity, but he heard that he was a celebrity beside King Ning.
Originally, he was thinking about how to find out King Ning's preferences and prescribe the right medicine. He happened to run into this celebrity on the street.
The governor of Ningzhou enthusiastically invited Zhu Xieli to dinner. After thinking about it, Zhu Xieli sent someone to talk to Li, and then left with the governor of Ningzhou.
During the dinner, the two exchanged cups and talked a lot, but all of them were just for the occasion, the two had their own secrets, and neither of them had a heart-to-heart talk.
It's just that after having a meal with Zhu Xieli, the governor of Ningzhou didn't dare to underestimate Li Tan—even anyone around him has such a scheming heart, let alone others.
However, the governor of Ningzhou didn't know that Zhu Xieli was not just a random person. In terms of the city, it is estimated that ten Li Tans could not compare with one of him.
Otherwise, if he didn't have this ability, how could he find a place to live for the tribe and rebuild the city when his father died tragically and half of the tribe was wiped out?
It is true that Li Tan has given him a lot of help, but in fact Li Tan's role is only to speed up the process. Even without Li Tan, Zhu Xieli can still support himself.
But don't forget, in the original book, Zhu Xieli's family was also ruined, and in the end he became the emperor.
The governor of Ningzhou was bluffed by Zhu Xieli to let go of his little Jiujiu, and while inviting Zhu Xieli to take a stroll in Yuanzhou, he was thinking about what to say.
Zhu Xieli also wanted to see what he wanted to do, so he followed him, not talking if he could.
The two were silent for a while, and the governor of Ningzhou suddenly said, "The last time I came to Yuanzhou was three years ago."
Zhu Xieli didn't answer, but turned to look at him to signal that he was listening.
The governor of Ningzhou continued: "The Yuanzhou at that time was not what it is now."
Zhu Xieli raised his eyebrows: "What does that look like?"
The governor of Ningzhou thought for a while and said: "There is no life. Although the state capital is considered prosperous, the expressions on the faces of the common people are numb, as if all his strength has been exhausted by being alive."
Zhu Xieli thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It was indeed the case when the king brought us here."
The governor of Ningzhou continued his efforts and said: "At that time, everything in Yuanzhou City was for Fengyue Street, and other things... were not very good. After I walked around here, I was actually proud of it. Compared with Speaking of which, Ningzhou is much better than here, so I also think that it is well managed."
When Zhu Xieli heard this, he knew that he was about to get to the point, so he asked, "What is Ningzhou like?"
The governor of Ningzhou smiled and said: "I won't boast. I'm afraid that in two days, the king will come to Ningzhou in person. At that time, Mr. Xiaolang will go to see it in person. However, even though I think Ningzhou is good, compared with His Highness, Still can't help but feel ashamed, His Highness has only been in Yuanzhou for a few days? Yuanzhou has changed a lot, and the people have smiles on their faces, His Highness... is the one who truly cares about the people and cares about their livelihood."
Zhu Xieli smiled reservedly. Although the governor of Ningzhou praised Li Tan, Zhu Xieli was happier to hear it than to praise him.
Zhu Xieli thought to himself: Of course my Ah Tian is very good, you are not as normal as you are.
The governor of Ningzhou did not get a response from Zhu Xieli, but after seeing Zhu Xieli's expression, he continued: "When I met His Highness today, I said that I would be willing to follow him. Move, now that I have seen Yuanzhou City, I will go through fire and water for His Highness!"
Zhu Xieli asked knowingly, "Oh? Why is this?"
The governor of Ningzhou said with emotion: "Because I haven't seen a local official who is as hands-on as His Highness for a long, long time."
Zhu Xieli felt that he understood the meaning of Ningzhou Inspector, so he said: "Nowadays everything is going to be prosperous, it is because of you and me to work together to help the king create a peaceful and prosperous world."
The governor of Ningzhou said seriously: "Naturally."
Zhu Xieli understood that the governor of Ningzhou might just want to confess to Li Tan through himself, and the governor of Ningzhou also felt that Zhu Xieli understood what he meant.
The two of them parted ways, and when Zhu Xieli went back, he saw Li Tan raised his chin and looked at him unkindly, saying, "I'm so busy here, you still have the time to go out and play, you wait, Tomorrow morning, I won’t eat to beat the governor of Ningzhou.”
Zhu Xieli didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this: "The governor of Ningzhou will follow you with all his heart, why did you beat him up?"
Li Tan's eyes widened: "Zhu Xieli, you really have changed, you don't even care why I don't eat!"
Zhu Xieli: ...
The farthest road he has traveled is probably Li Tan's routine.
In the face of Li Tan's nonsense, Zhu Xieli walked over very simply and pushed him forward, pinched Li Tan's slender waist and began to kiss.
Li Tan originally wanted to flirt with Zhu Xieli in his spare time. After pushing him meaningfully at first, he quickly reached out and wrapped his arms around Zhu Xieli's neck to cooperate.
When Zhu Xieli let go of him, Li Tan said out of breath, "I know...gag me, hmph."
Zhu Xieli gnawed at his neck lightly, and said with a chuckle, "Don't you like it?"
Well, I still like it.
Li Tan noticed that Zhu Xieli's hands were getting more and more restless, so he couldn't help but pushed him and said, "It's almost done, it's broad daylight, what did you say when you ran out with the governor of Ningzhou?"
Zhu Xieli withdrew his hand somewhat disconsolately, pulled Li Tan to sit down and said, "But with those words, I think the governor of Ningzhou probably doesn't have the heart to retire and return home. He wants to follow you."
Li Tan was quite surprised: "Follow me? Is he not afraid of death?"
The governor of Ningzhou was still cowardly before, ready to pack up and leave, why is he willing to follow him now?
After Zhu Xieli repeated what he said to the governor of Ningzhou, he said with a smile: "It must be because I see that you are kind to the people and know that you have a kind heart, so naturally I am not afraid."
Li Tan snorted and said, "That's because he didn't see how the governor of Yuanzhou was beheaded."
After saying this, Li Tan sighed and said, "But that's fine, as long as he doesn't overdo it, I'll put up with him. The enemy is now, who has the time to pester them every day."
Zhu Xieli also breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that Li Tan would be confused by Wang Jian and the governor of Yuanzhou who couldn't believe these governors.
Anyway, judging from his conversation with the governor of Ningzhou, the governor of Ningzhou may not be a bad person.
Now that he decided to accept the governor of Ningzhou, Li Tan sorted out the matter of Yuanzhou and handed it over to the people sent by He Zhizhang.
Those students were certainly excited. After all, they learned so much to show off their strengths. However, Li Tan must be worried about handing over the land of a state to these rookies, so he directly dragged Du Fu over.
Du Fu originally thought that Li Tan received a lot of things in Yuanzhou, or asked him to calculate taxes or something.
After all, Yuanzhou and Lanzhou can be regarded as Li Tan's territory now, and the tax... If you want to hand it over to the court, you can't send it to the court, so you can only collect it yourself.
However, he never expected that Li Tan would ask him to be the governor of a state. Du Fu was a little surprised at that time, and quickly said, "How can I be the governor of a state?"
Li Tan said: "My fief is much larger than Yuanzhou, and you have supported it, so how can you not be the governor?"
Du Fu smiled bitterly: "Then how can it be the same?"
Although it is said that Li Tan's fiefdom is not small, in fact Li Tan only collects the taxes there, and the real administration is still under the control of local officials, and those officials are naturally under the control of the imperial court.
So Du Fu's business is actually not much, otherwise, where did he get the time to drink and write poems with Li Bai, He Zhizhang and others every day?
Of course Li Tan also knew about this situation, he waved his hand directly and said: "I have already planned everything here, you understand my habits, as long as you continue to do it according to this."
Seeing that Li Tan insisted, Du Fu could only take over the important task tremblingly.
Zhu Xieli was a little strange: "I thought...you would let Mr. Taibai come over."
He didn't expect Li Tan to ask Du Fu to come over.
Li Tan shook his head and said, "Mr. Taibai...isn't very suitable to run a state."
Li Bai is romantic by nature, and he is passionate and chivalrous. These are all advantages. However, such advantages are not suitable for being a governor of a state. They are too easy to be grasped and taken advantage of.
What makes Du Fu better than Li Bai is that he is more down-to-earth, which may have something to do with his background.
Moreover, Li Tan is a bit selfish, he still remembers Du Fu's "Song of the Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind", although the current Du Fu should not write such a poem again.
But his heart is actually still the same, so Li Tan will give him a chance to "shelter the underprivileged in the world and have a happy face".
Oh, the poor under the heaven is a bit big, it may not work, but it is still possible for a state.
There is no way to tell others about this.
The governor of Ningzhou led the way and took Li to talk about Ningzhou. It has to be said that after entering the boundary of Ningzhou, the whole folk customs seem to be different from Yuanzhou.
Although the people in Ningzhou are still working hard, it can be seen that they are still full of hope for life.
When passing by the fields, you can also hear laughter and laughter.
In Ningzhou, which is so close to Chang'an, the people can be so stable. Among other things, at least in terms of Anmin, the governor of Ningzhou has done a good job.
After arriving at the Ningzhou Mansion, Li Tan took a special look and found that the governor of Ningzhou did not act like that official, and the entire Ningzhou Mansion showed the most primitive style.
It does seem to be much stronger than Yuanzhou, and the governor of Ningzhou probably has the confidence to change his mind.
What surprised Li Tan even more was that after he arrived in Ningzhou to rest for a day, the governor of Ningzhou directly handed over all the government affairs. live.
Sima and Chang Shi had probably been reminded, and each of them looked like a quail when they saw Li Tan, and they didn't dare to say a word.
However, Li Tan didn't come here with the intention of finding fault. After seeing that the government affairs in Ningzhou were similar, he turned a blind eye.
The reason why they turn a blind eye is because Ningzhou is not an upright official from top to bottom, and there will be more or less corruption, but these people are more measured, which Li Tan can tolerate within range.
Moreover, these people did not care about the life and death of the people because of corruption, but the people lived quite well.
The governor of Ningzhou even talked about his plan with Li. It seemed that this man was also ambitious and wanted to build Ningzhou better.
Unfortunately, when the war broke out, everything had to be put on hold, and all the money in the treasury had to be used for conscription.
Li Tan is still very interested in conscription. The methods and regulations of conscription can reflect the vision of a local administrator.
Jia Inspector saw that Li Tan was interested in conscription, so he said cautiously: "The recruitment has already started, and I have formulated the standards in advance. Please look over it, Your Highness. If there is something wrong, I will revise it later."
Behind him, Chang Shi and Sima nodded quickly, and they didn't look like Yizhou Sima and Chang Shi at all.
Li Tan didn't have time to worry about this with them, he was also muttering in his heart - what kind of image is he being passed on?
While muttering, he glanced at the recruitment rules in his hand. To be honest, the governor of Ningzhou did have a conscience.
Recruiting soldiers requires at least fifteen years of age, and each family leaves a young and strong head to establish a household, so that the people will not be wiped out due to the war.
Judging from these two items alone, it already met Li Tan's requirements.
If he's recruiting, that's about it.
Li Tan nodded in satisfaction: "Well, it's very good of you to do so. I can rest assured that Ningzhou will be handed over to you."
When the governor of Ningzhou heard his words, he put his heart into his stomach.
God knows how afraid he was just now when Li Tan looked at him and suddenly got angry and said, "It's not working here, someone, drag him down and chop him up."
Fortunately, this Highness is not so cruel, and he understands the rules of officialdom very well.
The governor of Ningzhou asked cautiously: "Then... other people..."
Li Tan waved his hand: "Other people are used to cooperating with you, so you don't need to change too much. By the way, what is the relationship between you and the local people in Zhechong Mansion?"
The governor of Ningzhou immediately said: "The lower officials dare not have too close contacts with the generals."
Li Tan didn't speak but just looked at him with a half-smile, and Ningzhou Inspector had no choice but to apologize and said: "Nothing can be hidden from His Highness's eyes. He was transferred there with soldiers and horses, and there are not many people left in Zhechong Mansion."
Li Tan nodded. The reason why he was sure that the governor of Ningzhou must know the situation of Zhechong Mansion is because in this troubled world, only with soldiers in hand can he guarantee his safety.
All the troops in the state are in Zhechong Mansion. Even if the governor of Ningzhou had no contact with Captain Zhechong before, as long as he is not stupid, it is impossible for him not to keep in touch with Captain Zhechong now.
What surprised Li Tan was that Captain Zhechong had been transferred away.
He thought for a while and said, "The post of Lieutenant Zhechong of Ningzhou cannot be suspended for a long time, so I will reappoint it."
The governor of Ningzhou couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this. Before Li Tan told the governors of Lanzhou and Yuanzhou that he would kill them and then reappoint them, he thought it was out of line.
However, what he didn't expect was that His Royal Highness would dare to rush to the mansion!
After Li Longji came to the throne, the most taboo thing was the close relationship between the royal family or the officials of the frontier and the generals. Li Tan can be said to have directly hit Li Longji's Achilles' heel.
Li Tan saw the shock of the governor of Ningzhou, and directly took out the imperial edict and said: "The imperial court has allowed me to do things cheaply."
The governor of Ningzhou knelt down when he saw the imperial decree, and this time he felt really at ease.
At the same time, I told myself in my heart, don't think about what is there and what is not, just follow King Ning honestly.
After all, King Ning was powerful and recognized by the imperial court. Basically, no one was his opponent in this area, and the governor of Ningzhou would not trip Li Tan because of his going to Chang'an.
You must know that once Chang'an falls, Ningzhou will definitely be unlucky-he has a granary set up by the imperial court here!
Li Tan is also very cautious about Captain Zhechong in Ningzhou. This place is too important. If there is an emergency... He really has never fought Anlu Mountain. If he needs to retreat, he must come to Ningzhou for a temporary retreat .
He thought about it for a while and directly turned Yuan Zhe over. Anyway, Tubo would not come to make trouble now. Even if they did, he still had confidence in the mechanism set up by Meng Zhiya.
At least there is no problem with those institutions defending the city, but it is a pity that Chang'an is not easy to do this. After all, time is too tight, and Chang'an is too big, and many places need to be demolished.
Compared with direct reconstruction, dismantling and rebuilding, one more step will waste a lot of time.
Now An Lushan may not give him this time.
After Li Tan decided to go directly to Chang'an, he began to transfer troops to Ningzhou.
This is the first time that the people of Ningzhou have felt the wind and rain coming, but when they saw Li Tan's men heavily armed, their confidence in Li Tan's army was unprecedentedly high - after all, Li Tan's soldiers were capable of everything. It is the best, and the spirit is different.
The soldiers and horses he transferred lived in Zhechong Mansion temporarily, and the young and strong people who were conscripted before were originally depressed, but now after seeing Li Tan's soldiers and horses, they actually felt a little yearning.
Among other things, those armors are really beautiful.
When Li Tan heard people talking about it, he knew that the special armor that he had spent a long time with others was really useful.
The reason why he bothered so much was that he wanted the armor to be both practical and beautiful.
As long as it is a man, probably no one can resist such a romance of reloading cold weapons.
It was precisely because of this that many soldiers who had been conscripted into Zhechong Mansion in Ningzhou were secretly asking King Ning's army if they would accept them.
However, Li Tan was not happy about this matter, because the day when he and Zhu Xieli parted ways finally came.
When he went south, Zhu Xieli had said that he would leave, but the chaos in Lanzhou and Yuanzhou made him worry, so he stayed and waited until Li Tan smoothed out Ningzhou before preparing to leave .
Li Tan was very reluctant to part with him, wishing to overthrow their plan in minutes.
Li Tan hugged Zhu Xieli's waist and said, "Why don't you go, I don't think An Lushan can beat me."
Zhu Xieli didn't know where Li Tan's confidence came from, so he patted his head helplessly and said, "Letting them fight each other will reduce our casualties. Haven't we already planned it?"
Li Tan didn't say a word, of course he knew that this was the best way, and he also knew that if he changed someone, he might just drink practice wine with the other party.
But it's Zhu Xieli's turn... Even if he knows that Zhu Xieli is God's favorite cub, who is bigger than him, he still worries.
Zhu Xieli hugged him to comfort him all night, and Li Tan had no choice but to send him away the next day with a sigh.
The governor of Ningzhou didn't know what Zhu Xieli was going to do, he thought he was going to explore the way ahead of time, seeing that Li Tan was not happy, he said: "Chang'an is not in such a mess now, Your Highness doesn't need to worry too much. "
Li Tan shook his head: "It's not this, get ready, I'm leaving tomorrow."
Governor of Ningzhou:? ? ? ? ?
He looked at Li Tan's back with a blank face, and realized that he had no idea what His Highness was thinking.
You let that alien beauty go to explore the way, don't you go without waiting for a response?
However, the governor of Ningzhou didn't dare to ask a word, and began to talk to Li about the things he planned to travel.
Unlike before, Li Tan came to Beijing with a lot of fanfare, and put on as much pomp and pomp as he could, in order to calm the hearts of the people in the capital.
Although Li Tan felt that it was probably useless to do so, at the beginning Li Longji issued an edict with great fanfare to personally conscript the emperor.
How is the result?Just ran away quietly!
So Li Tan is ready to clean up the mess left by Li Longji.
The only good thing now is that An Lushan's army hasn't had time to enter Chang'an-the only thing Li Longji did right is probably to send people to stop An Lushan's army.
Although he did it entirely for himself to be able to run farther, those troops were simply for him to use later.
The news that Li Tan was going to Beijing spread from Ningzhou to the capital as if he had grown wings.
When he was in the capital, although many things happened, he was still low-key among the common people, and they didn't have a deep impression of him.
When it comes to his people, the things that the people think about the most are the events of the Great Jerub's visit to Beijing and the offering of prisoners from the Taimiao.
It has to be said that Li Tan's resume can still make the people somewhat at ease, but they still have doubts in their hearts.
They didn't dare to live up to their expectations, what if this one turned around and ran away?
On the day Li Tan entered Beijing, it could be said that the alley was empty.
He deliberately gave up the luxurious carriage, and directly rode on the horse in a soft armor - a general should have the demeanor of a general.
The only fly in the ointment is probably that his face is tender, and he doesn't look so imposing.
But this is also made up for by the neat army behind him.
Li Tan walked on the widest road and mountain in Chang'an, and the more he walked, the more depressed he became. He never thought that Chang'an would become so depressed one day.
All the people came to watch him, but there were not many people. He could see many wealthy households whose courtyards were empty wherever he looked.
Li Tan came all the way to the gate of his palace, looked up at the plaque of the palace, and felt a little emotional: he tried his best to save everyone from Chang'an, but turned around and ran back by himself.
Just when Li Tan was feeling emotional, he suddenly heard someone say: "His Royal Highness King Ning entered Beijing without permission, and the crime is conspiracy."
Li Tan was slightly taken aback when he heard this. At this time, is there still someone struggling with this?What about dying?
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Dali Temple Minister standing not far away and smiling at him.
