President of Datang [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 143
Li Tan was very dazed holding the map for a while, and didn't understand what Concubine Yang Gui gave him such a map for.
Zhi Yi on the side came over and walked around the map twice and said, "Is this a treasure map?"
Li Tan was stunned for a moment, looked down at the map carefully, and found that there was actually a place marked on it, and it was written: the mountain of the court.
Zhi Yi sat down and swept his tail away and said: "The mountain of the court? This is not a mountain, it looks like a hill at most.
Li Tan said, "No, it's just a reference."
"Huh?" Zhi Yi looked at him suspiciously.
Li Tan nodded and said: "That's right, it is recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" that there are many ash trees, many white apes, many water jade, and many gold in the mountains."
Zhiyi's eyes lit up: "Gold!"
Li Tan smiled slightly and said: "That's right, gold, maybe you are right, this may really be a treasure map, um, let Chengjin take someone to take a look later."
After talking about it, Li Tan suddenly felt that the Public Opinion Department was really useful, and he could move it wherever he needed it.
Zhi Yi asked: "What kind of treasure do you think this is? How did Concubine Yang know?"
Li Tan shook his head: "How do I know? I'll find out when I dig it out."
Generally, gold and silverware will have the style of the casting period, and it is easy to judge as long as they are dug out.
In the early morning of the second day, Li Tan handed over the matter to Qi Jin. After hearing this, Qi Jin was very excited and felt that this was Li Tan's greatest trust in him. people know."
Li Tan didn't care: "If you have any inconvenience, just take my handbook and go to Tian Shengong, and ask him to send someone to help you."
Jin Jin's subordinates are flexible, but if something unexpected happens, the ability of these ordinary people to resist risks is almost zero.
Teng Jin knew that this was an insurance policy Li Tan gave them, so he accepted the order with a serious expression before bowing and leaving.
As soon as he left, he came in and said, "Your Highness, Yuan Zhe came to say that a group of rangers ran to the gate of the barracks this morning clamoring to join the army. He didn't dare to make decisions on his own, so he came to ask the king."
After hearing this, Li Tan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You Xia wants to join the army? That's strange."
While talking, he got up and went to see Yuan Zhe.
When Yuan Zhe saw Li Tan, he cupped his hands and saluted. Li Tan sat down and asked, "Where did those rangers come from?"
Yuan Zhe said: "It seems to be the ones that conflicted with us before."
It was only after he said this that Li Tan remembered that such an incident happened yesterday, but then Li Bai adjusted it. Could this be the result of the adjustment?
But...he asked: "Why is it like? Could it be that you still don't recognize them?"
Yuan Zhe said embarrassingly: "It's really hard to recognize them. They came here one by one with bruises and swollen faces. I can barely distinguish some of them. It should be no problem."
His nose was blue and his face was swollen... Li Tan suddenly had a bad feeling.
He adjusted his mood and said, "Do you think they really want to join the army?"
Yuan Zhe said: "It seems that they have changed their past, but these rangers are unstable, I'm worried..."
Li Tan smiled slightly: "Coincidentally, I have a charter here. There are three stages in total. Let them sign after reading it if they think they are competent."
Li Tan glanced at Qing Kong while he was talking, and Qing Kong immediately went to the study to bring over the documents that Li Tan had sorted out before.
After Yuan Zhe took it, he glanced at it from beginning to end, but gasped while watching: "Your Highness...this..."
Li Tan said: "It's not just them, the regular army should also follow this, but I have already had people strengthen the training of soldiers before, and the first journey is probably no problem for them."
Yuan Zhe said with a strange expression: "Of course there is no problem. I just dare to ask Your Highness, this...why do you train to walk?"
Li Tan said: "This doesn't seem to be very useful, but it can make them enforce orders and prohibit them. No matter how many times you say this kind of thing, they will not remember it or remember it. You must let them form a conditioned reflex."
Yuan Zhe subconsciously asked, "What... what reflex?"
Li Tan said with a lying face and said nothing: "It's nothing, anyway, just do what I say, and don't do what you can't do."
Yuan Zhe was full of question marks, if you can't do it, don't you?Is this really okay at a time like this?
However, Li Tan is determined to take the route of elite soldiers. After all, if these soldiers are too loose to fight independently on the battlefield, it is to let them die. Li Tan couldn't afford to fill it up.
Now that Li Tan had made up his mind, Yuan Zhe left with this document even if he was full of doubts.
This is also the fact that Li Tan has accumulated power for a long time, and the decisions he made are rarely wrong, otherwise Yuan Zhe would definitely argue with reason.
After Li Tan sent Yuan Zhe away, he turned to Qing Kong and asked, "How did Mr. Taibai solve the problem yesterday?"
Qing Kong said in a low voice: "Mr. Taibai originally went to reason with them, but most of these rangers are jerks. Seeing that Mr. Taibai is a scholar, although he dare not be powerless, he is still messing around. Mr. Taibai's temper... You know, When he got angry, he moved his hands, and then those rangers were all beaten up by Mr. Taibai."
Li Tan couldn't help but asked nervously, "No one died, right?"
Qing Kong quickly said: "This is not true, Mr. Taibai has a sense of measure."
Only then did Li Tan breathe a sigh of relief. He remembered that someone in later generations analyzed that Li Bai had really killed someone. The current Li Bai has not been subjected to so much training, and his temper is no different from when he was young. In society, looking at Xiang Kuo and others is probably like watching shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
In case the two were accidentally killed, Li Tan had to find a way to help with the aftermath.
It's good that no one is killed, but I don't know whether Xiang Kuo and the others really realized their mistake, or they were beaten so hard that they dared not admit their cowardice.
But these are not important, even if these people can't stand such a rigorous training, it doesn't matter, Li Tan can still take the opportunity to promote a wave of publicity and improve the image of soldiers.
Li Tan put this matter aside and began to pay attention to Jin Jin's treasure digging work.
It has to be said that Jin Jin did things quickly and dug things out without asking Yuan Zhe for help.
However, when Li Tan saw those boxes with the fragrance of earth, he was completely dazed—why does this box look so similar to the ones in the original palace?
Not only Li Tan, but even Li Bai who came to watch said, "This box doesn't look like an old thing."
Li Tan said, "Open it first and have a look."
What if the contents inside are valuable antiques?
Li Tan is still looking forward to this treasure. If it's not that there is no chance, Li Tan even wants to go treasure hunting by himself.
Qing Kong gestured to the two guards carrying the box, and then they stepped forward and violently destroyed the lock on the box.
Seeing them doing this, Li Tan had an idea at the time - why did he have to work so hard to open the lock for a long time?Is violent destruction bad?
This thought flashed through his mind, and when the box was opened, he was blinded by the jewels inside, and he looked down at the shiny gold and silver jewels in the box before saying in silence for a while: "This... ...like... new..."
Li Bai turned to look at him and asked, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid someone is entertaining you?"
Seeing that his expression was not good, Li Tan was afraid that he would do it again, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "I misunderstood, this lady left it for me."
Only then did Li Bai feel relieved: "My lady is really a virtuous woman."
Li Tan laughed, feeling that there was no way to comment on his words.
Concubine Yang Guifei may not be a virtuous woman, but the rebirth probably made her grow up a bit after all, but she must have escaped in a hurry and in a very hidden way, and she only brought a maid with her at that time, and the encounter with the Yang family was a later thing .
So how did she bring out these jewels?
This is not a small amount, there are at least ten boxes full of gold, silver and jewelry, among other things, even if it is just one of the boxes, the weight is not something Yang Guifei can handle.
While Li Tan asked people to put the gold, silver and jewelry into storage, he went back to write a letter to inquire about Concubine Yang.
He also found it strange that Concubine Yang Guifei didn't explain anything, just gave a treasure map, as if she was trying to guess a riddle, and she didn't know why she did this.
However, before he finished writing this letter, another letter came from Liangzhou. This time Concubine Yang finally wrote a letter. If you are greedy, it will be bad if someone takes it away.
Li Tan felt a little helpless when he saw this. Although you didn't write a letter, but you got such a small box to put the treasure map, and there was a very precious chain lock on it. Any fool knows that the things in this box must not be simple.
However, Concubine Yang Gui is not deeply involved in the world. She has been in the palace for two lifetimes combined, and the life inside the palace is also super simple - there are no conditions for others to fight her, after all, she is favored.
So it was probably the best way she could think of.
As for these jewels, it is also due to Li Tan himself. After all, he was the one who repeatedly reminded Concubine Yang that the Anshi Rebellion might not be avoided.
Although Concubine Yang always felt that it was unlikely that An Lushan would have such an opportunity, she still decided to defend herself, so she secretly chose a place, and then found someone to transport her belongings out and hide them little by little. .
You must know that Concubine Yang Guifei really has a lot of good things in her hands, and these jewels are only accumulated by her in half a year.
In the letter, Concubine Yang Gui felt quite regretful, thinking that if she had followed Li Tan's words, she would have started accumulating early, maybe even more than this.
Li Tan couldn't help but be speechless, is this still too little?
After emptying and storing those jewels in the warehouse, he made statistics and put a thick list on his desk.
According to his rough estimate, if all these jewels are used as military expenses, they can sustain the consumption of his entire army for one and a half to two years in non-wartime.
Pay attention to all these armies, which naturally include the armies in Hexi and Longyou, which are nearly 5 people.
If it is a combat period, it can last at least half a year.
Even though Concubine Yang Guifei doesn't seem to have many things in her possession, the ones that catch her eyes are all high-quality jade biscuits, and even Li Tan only has one or two pieces of that kind of jade biscuits, so she directly saved one or two pieces of jade biscuits. box.
Every time he thinks of the jade bi, Li Tan especially understands those who hate the rich.
At the end of the letter, Concubine Yang proudly told him that she had already disposed of those who buried these treasures for her, and no one would know the existence of this treasure.
Li Tan: ...
It doesn't matter even if he knows, this treasure is in his hands, unless someone can break through the heavy blockade of Prince Ning's Mansion to take these things away.
You must know that after he entered Beijing, he still lived in his palace honestly. Only a small part of the reason was that he didn't want to leave people with tongues, and the other major reason was that the palace was not as safe as his palace.
However, most people don't know the reason, and they are still praising Li Tan for his observance of etiquette, which is one of the reasons why those scholars are willing to stand for him.
Other than that, there was nothing important about this letter. Li Tan put the letter aside and began to pick up the list given by Wang Jijiu.
He took a cursory glance, and he was familiar with the names of several people. After all, he was also a teacher at the beginning. Although he was not an official doctor, he still had an impression of those students.
Similarly, those classmates of his were also missing, and he didn't know where they all went. Thinking of this, Li Tan felt that he should tell Concubine Yang that all the Yang family members were killed, although Concubine Yang might have known about it long ago.
However, the Yang family is not dead. The most correct thing they did was to let Yang Bian follow Li Tan, and Li Tan returned to Chang'an this time because he was afraid that something would happen, so he didn't let Yang Bian follow him at all.
Anyway, it also left a single seedling for the Yang family, but it can be imagined that it may be difficult for Yang Bing to live well in the future.
As for relying on Concubine Yang... Soon, even Li Longji will be abdicated. Concubine Yang will be the concubine of the Supreme Emperor. It may not be easy for Yang Bing to rely on her to start a family.
I'm afraid Li Tan will still have to help him when the time comes. After all, he is not very familiar with the rest of the Yang family, and he is relatively indifferent to their deaths, but Yang Bing still has a good relationship with him.
Moreover, Yang Bing's temperament is not bad, so he is worth helping.
After Li Tan wrote a letter to Concubine Yang, he was going to ask about Ji He's exam questions... Are you ready?
His husband here has already prepared everything. It is best to recruit people early and start classes early, so that Li Tan can also pay these people salaries earlier, so that they will not continue to live in hardship.
Ji He has been very busy recently. As Chang'an regains its vitality, Jing Zhaoyin has more and more things to do. The most important thing is that Chang'an is now mixed with fish and dragons, and many people have lost their household registration. He started to reorganize the household registration system.
Hearing Li Tan mention the exam now, he misses the Ministry of Rites very much. It was the Ministry of Rites who did all these things back then.
Ji He sighed and said, "Your Highness, if you make a mistake in your busy schedule, you can't be in a hurry. Why don't you leave this matter to the Imperial College."
Li Tan hesitated: "I have also thought about it, but if it is handed over to the Imperial College, if it is spread out, it will really become an open subject to obtain a scholar. I am afraid that the imperial court will not let it go."
Ji He said: "I think His Highness acts vigorously and resolutely, but why is he stagnant here? Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. We are all in Chang'an. Can we still watch those people wrong His Highness? What's more, now that the treacherous ministers have been cleared, what can His Highness do?" Worried?"
Li Tan said with a wry smile: "To tell you the truth, if Yang Guozhong is not dead, I would not have any scruples. He is a traitor to you, but he is a great help to me. Now he and his henchmen are all When I was uprooted, it was the people who made things difficult for me before, so how could I not be careful?"
After hearing this, Ji He said: "Why does Your Highness think so? Yang Guozhong speaks for you because he needs something from you, not because he thinks what you are doing is right. Even if what you do is wrong, he will I will speak for you, you were too involved with him before, now that Yang Guozhong is dead and the chaotic party has been cleared up, only the princes in the court can treat you fairly."
After listening to Li Tan, he felt that Ji He's last sentence seemed to be a metaphor. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that what Ji He said was that he was too close to the Yang family before. The family is regarded as one.
In this case, no matter what Li Tan did is right or wrong, the first thing everyone needs to think about is how much weight he will add to the Yang family, so even if what he does is right, as long as it does not affect the fate of the country, Everyone will be more cautious.
Now that Yang Guozhong is dead, many ministers don't know the whereabouts of Concubine Yang, so they think that Concubine Yang may be separated from the main force, or wander or die in the rebellion.
In addition, Li Tan returned to Chang'an in distress, which is enough to attract the favorability of many people, so what he does now, everyone will look at it from a fair and equal perspective.
Thinking about it this way, Li Tan also felt that it was nothing to hand over this matter to the Imperial College.
What's more, the entire Langhuan Academy now is the original staff of the Imperial College, if you want to trouble him, this is enough.
Li Tan frowned and said: "Let's leave it to them. However, we can't publish those flashy papers. Whether we can write poems or not is secondary, and governing the people is the essence."
After hearing this, Ji He had only one thought: King Ning's plan is very big.
After all, if you just want to help, you don’t need to be able to govern the people at all. Generally, those who are capable of governing the people are at least at the county magistrate level, and now there is no shortage of county magistrates near Chang’an—they are the latest to get the news, and it is too late to run away Later, Ji He and Zou Shi came forward.
The two of them, especially Ji He, had many people who believed in him because of his precious character, and they didn't leave when they saw Ji He, so they simply stayed.
That's why the entire Chang'an can barely operate. Without them, Ji He would not be able to manage this Chang'an even if he was exhausted.
These people are all familiar now, and based on Ji He's understanding of Li Tan, he will definitely not easily change people at this time.
Then he must have selected these people with the ability to govern the people for future use. As for where to use them... even Ji He didn't have a clue for a while.
However, he didn't ask any more questions. After discussing the location of the examination room with Li Tan, he got up and left.
However, Li Tan's mind was opened. When he was talking about the questions on the test paper, he originally wanted to say that it would be best for those students to know some military skills.
But think about it, even if these students know the art of war, it's just a matter of talking on paper. If you really need generals, it's better to hold a military election.
Anyway, the literary anthology is open, and it doesn't matter if there is another martial arts election. If people degenerate, it will be very fast.
But Wuxuan had to ask Tian Shengong and Yuan Zhe to come, even Chen Chong.
Li Tan directly approached them, and after he expressed his thoughts, Chen Chong hesitated for a moment, and glanced at Tian Shengong.
Tian Shengong immediately understood what he meant. Although Chen Chong was the head of Li Tan's personal guard, Tian Shengong, the general who was promoted by Li Tan, was probably closer to him in terms of closeness.
So if there are some bad words to say, he will naturally let him come.
Tian Shengong asked: "Your Majesty, martial arts can't guarantee that these people are good generals. The people selected by martial arts are not much better if they have no experience. Sometimes it's better to let those students come. At least they I have read enough books, if I read all the military books, I might be able to draw inferences from one instance."
After hearing this, Li Tan felt that it was only in this era when civil and military families had not yet been completely separated that generals would say such things. After all, the pinnacle of life that the Tang Dynasty paid attention to was to be a general and a prime minister.
He touched his chin and asked, "Do you have any good seedlings under your hands?"
The three of them looked at each other and said, "Yes, there are, but the background is not very good."
Li Tan waved his hand: "Heroes, don't ask where it came from. Now that the world is in chaos, it's time to pay attention to this?"
Yuan Zhe said with a wry smile: "The problem is, there are many people who don't know how to type."
Fortunately, Tian Shengong's subordinates said that they were all troops built up bit by bit after Li talked about Liangzhou.
Chen Chong's subordinates also chose Chang'an Liangjiazi at the beginning, and they were all of good quality.
Only Yuan Zhe, his subordinates were originally selected by Shanzhou to guard the frontier, and Tubo came to harass him from time to time, those who had a little background in their families or who had a little ability in themselves had already left, and those who stayed there were basically alone. There is no way out, or the family is poor, and they have to live on the soldier's salary.
Under such circumstances, it is useless even if there are good seedlings. They don't know the words, and they can't understand the edicts issued by the higher authorities. If they are deceived, there will be big troubles.
Li Tan thought for a while, changed his mind and said, "Go back and sort out all the good seedlings in your hands, report them, and I'll give them a chance."
Tian Shengong and Chen Chong were fine, but Yuan Zhe asked with great concern, "What chance?"
Li Tan smiled: "A chance to study."
"Learning?" The three said in unison.
Li Tan nodded: "Educate those who can't read, and ask someone to read military books for those who can read. At least the person you value is not an idiot, right? If you really can't learn it, it probably won't be of much use."
"Literacy?" Yuan Zhe said with a look of disbelief, "This... the current situation... is it possible?"
Li Tan sneered: "Why not? If it weren't for the current situation, they wouldn't even think about this kind of opportunity. Even if I wanted to, the imperial court wouldn't let me do it."
Before the liberation of the Datu Dynasty, it was fighting and eradicating illiteracy, and after liberation, it was quite successful in producing while eradicating illiteracy.
People, if you don't force it, you always don't know where your limit is.
Yuan Zhe and Tian Shengong had almost blind trust in Li Tan, and they heard Li Tan say it was okay, so they would do it.
The most important thing is that what Li Tan said is very reasonable. If it weren't for the chaos in the world, no matter how talented the people at the bottom are, they wouldn't be able to climb up. They wouldn't have that chance at all.
The three turned their heads and went back to study the list. Li Tan knew without thinking that they must have chosen his confidant. This was a legitimate opportunity to expand his power.
However, Li Tan didn't intend to publicize this matter, otherwise there would definitely be opposition. Anyway, when the time came, he would just promote someone who was suitable for him.
As for the teacher of the refresher class, it is very easy to find, and Chen Chong's subordinates are just right to do this job.
After all, those people brought by Chen Chong were originally asked to rob houses. Cough, wrong, it is more appropriate to attack the powerful, but Li Tan himself is not at ease if they are allowed to go to the battlefield.
But put them away, these people will definitely have opinions, after all, who doesn't want to make contributions?
It’s just right now. Go back and ask those people who is willing to go to the battlefield. Those who are willing will be sent to receive training with those rangers, and those who are not will stay and teach. Of course, even teaching requires some skills. Li Tan would not let him mislead his children.
After all these things have been sorted out, and the people selected by Tian Shengong and others are sent to study, the day of the exam will come.
The exam was specially chosen in the college, in order to let these students experience the place where they will study in the future.
On the day before the exam, Li Tan made a special trip to the academy. This was the first time he went there after the academy was built.
Although it was during the period of war, but because Chang'an City did not receive much damage, and with the support of Ningzhou and other places, the process of building this academy was not tortuous.
And because of the blueprints, the entire academy has basically been restored, except for the Langhuan Book Pavilion in the middle.
Now that the site of Langhuan Book Pavilion is still there, and it is vacant, that is the place that Li Tanwang Academy cannot avoid.
He stood in front of the rammed earth foundation of the Book Pavilion in a daze for a long time, and he couldn't bear to look at Wang Jijiu beside him, so he couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, the deceased is dead, you should be relieved."
Li Tan took a long breath and said: "It's nothing, I just feel like something is missing without the Book Pavilion. After all, it's different from before."
Wang Jijiu shut up and didn't speak, he didn't seem to be able to answer this sentence.
Instead, Ji He persuaded: "Your Highness, please look to the future."
Li Tan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm just feeling emotional. This is also a lesson for me. People's hearts... are the most unpredictable thing. I thought I was not bad for the Yang family back then. But I didn't expect that they could kill so many people for mere money."
Wang Jijiu gritted his teeth and said, "It's hard to find such a wolf-hearted person in the world!"
Li Tan suddenly said: "When the school starts, the first lesson is to bring those students here first, and tell them that nothing is important to anyone. What if... I said what if this kind of thing happens again. They protect themselves first, even if they abandon the academy, it doesn't matter, as long as there are people, the academy will be there."
Wang Jijiu froze for a moment, hesitated: "This... I'm afraid it's not good."
These are not consistent with the thoughts of Professor Guozijian. After all, strictly speaking, this can be regarded as egoism.
Li Tan smiled and said: "I'm talking about times of crisis, but it's not like it's always the case. Anyway, offering wine can be done at will."
Wang Jijiu was a little helpless after hearing this. Li Tan had enough trust in him to entrust everything to him, but the problem is that this hands-off shopkeeper is too neat, right?
Just when Wang Jijiu was about to protest, Jin Jin quickly ran up and said, "Your Majesty, the sage has written an order."
Li Tan was a little surprised, because communication was inconvenient, and Li Longji seldom wrote letters to him unless there was something important, and nothing major happened recently, so why?
When he opened the manuscript, he found that it was Li Longji who asked him to look for Concubine Yang.
And this handbook only has Li Longji's private seal on it, strictly speaking, this is not even a handbook, it can only be regarded as a letter written by Li Longji to Li Tan.
Li Tan turned around and asked Ji He to cooperate with Wang Jijiu to check the academy thoroughly to prevent any problems in the examination room, and then went back to write a memorial and a letter.
The memorial followed the formal procedure to impeach the Yang family. Of course, there is basically nothing left in the Yang family, so he wrote this memorial just to let everyone know that the Yang family burned his academy and robbed his treasures.
The letter told Li Longji that he had found Concubine Yang, but just to be on the safe side, he did not let Concubine Yang stay in Chang'an, but had someone escort her to Liangzhou.
Here, Li Tan reversed the order in which Concubine Yang Guifei went to Liangzhou and he went to Chang'an, so that no one would turn around and ask Concubine Yang Guifei why she didn't go to see the big troops if she was able to travel so far to Liangzhou. Fighting is also very troublesome.
And in the past, everyone really didn't dare to offend Concubine Yang, even if Concubine Yang, who lived a new life, restrained a lot.
But it's different now. Concubine Yang has no backing, the Yang family has been swept away, and now there is only one Yang Bing left, and Li Longji's prestige is declining day by day. Things are messing with that.
When Li Tan's memorial and letter were delivered, Gao Lishi was trying to support Li Tan.
Just as Li Tan thought, he is now in charge of Chang'an, and Chang'an has not been captured by Anlu Mountain, so some people began to worry that he would replace him or have rebellious intentions.
If Li Tan wanted to establish himself as emperor, it would be too easy, he had soldiers and money, and the most important thing was that he even had the imperial palace ready-made.
What made Gao Lishi most angry was that these people actually wanted to find someone to replace Li Tan.
Is this easily replaceable?Will Li Tan's soldiers listen to others?Turning around, he patted his butt and returned to Liangzhou. I'm afraid whoever goes to Chang'an will die!
Why is there nothing in Chang'an now?It's not because Li Tan is there to hold on.
Although he didn't know what Li Tan had done, it was true that An Lushan's attack on Chang'an was delayed.
As for why he thought it was Li Tan who did it, the main reason was that this matter was too strange. In the face of such a big matter as attacking Chang'an, according to common sense, An Qingzong and An Qingxu would take Chang'an even if they had a great hatred.
However, An Qingzong and An Qingxu seemed to have lost their minds, and actually killed each other on the eve of the war, which is completely unreasonable.
Li Tan has such abilities, even if he is not said to be the only hope to defeat An Lushan, but as long as he guards Chang'an, the sage no longer has to travel all the way to avoid Anlushan.
Just for this Gao Lishi also supports Li Tan.
Of course, he also knew why those people made trouble for Li Tan—they were worried that Li Tan would make trouble for them in the future!
But when he saw Li Tan's memorial, he really breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly sent the memorial to Li Longji.
And when Li Longji saw it, all the ministers and officials basically knew the hatred between Li Tan and the Yang family - he himself killed dozens of people in the Yang family.
These people who had been looking for trouble with Li were suddenly startled, never expecting such a turnaround.
All of a sudden, everyone was a little lost. They didn't know whether to continue to think of ways to replace Li Tan, or to support him.
They haven't discussed anything yet, and Li Tan's second memorial has arrived. This memorial is about the selection of candidates through the examination.
After learning the news, these officials bombed again, and this time basically all the officials at the lower level were bombed.
These officials were originally Chang'an grassroots. They were not qualified to be led away by Li Longji. It was just that after Li Longji ran away, they also chose to escape. It happened that Li Longji was staying in Mawei Station, so they followed.
At that time, Li Longji was suspicious of everyone because of Yang Guozhong's killing, and the support of these people could make him paralyze himself.
So these people stayed.
Naturally, they have to work after they stay, but where is their position in the imperial court today?
As a result, they haven't found a suitable position for themselves, and the original position is about to be lost?
These people immediately became agitated. For these people's agitation, Chen Xilie, one of the only two prime ministers, expressed his headache. He really wanted to kick out these people who had more than failed.
What worries him the most is whether Li Shizhi will follow suit. Before that, he was the loudest voice among the opposition parties.
Just when Chen Xilie was worried, he saw Li Shizhi coming in a hurry. Chen Xilie's head hurt again, and he directly raised his hand and said, "If you are talking about Chang'an, I advise you not to mention it. The saint saw the memorial of His Royal Highness King Ning. You are in a good mood, you should rest."
Li Shizhi said helplessly: "What King Ning did is a good thing, not to mention there are people from the Imperial College to help check it out. What I want to talk about is not this matter!"
Chen Xilie breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's fine if it's not this, what is that?"
Li Shizhi's expression was not so good and he said: "Information from the front line, Xu Yuan, the prefect of Suiyang, is in a hurry. An Lushan uses Yin Ziqi as his general to go to Henan. I'm afraid it's for the saint."
Chen Xilie's expression turned a little ugly, he felt that Anlu Mountain was like a deep well of ice, King Ning was guarding Chang'an alone, why don't you go after the saint?
According to the reason, it should be more strategic to occupy Chang'an, unless... he thinks that King Ning is a hard bone and not easy to chew.
Just when Chen Xilie was thinking this way, Li Shizhi said, "Mr. Chen, what do you think... is there something in the hands of King Ning that makes An Lushan so afraid?"
Chen Xilie smiled wryly: "Hey, how would I know, I'd better report it to the saint, I don't think this Mawei post is a place to stay for a long time."
Li Shizhi said that this was in the heart of the sage. Ever since the Yang family and their in-laws were chopped down in Maweiyi, Li Longji had a psychological shadow on this place.
He has always wanted to continue walking, but if he continues to go down, he can only enter Shu. Now that the Central Plains is still relatively stable, entering Shu is not a good choice, after all, the road is too difficult to walk.
Originally, they more or less hoped that Li Tan would be able to clean up the surrounding areas of Chang'an as soon as possible, and then they would be able to return to Chang'an.
However, An Lushan unexpectedly gave up Chang'an for the time being, and was going to trouble Li Longji first.
Chen Xilie felt that An Lushan might threaten Li Tan if he could catch Li Longji and others, but soon he felt that this idea was not right.
After all, An Lushan didn't need to be so afraid of Li Tan.
When he and Li Shi were looking for Li Longji, Li Heng and Li Chu happened to be there.
Li Longji has been in low spirits lately, when he heard that An Lushan was going to transfer to Henan, he was as frightened as a bird, and quickly said: "Order, enter Shu!"
Li Heng looked at his father in such a panic, the image of Li Longji in his heart like a giant is gradually collapsing.
He opened his mouth and said, "Father, it's not an option to hide like this. Mawei Station must keep people here, otherwise Yin Ziqi will be just as flat as a horse."
Li Longji gave him a cold look and said, "Oh? What's the prince's opinion?"
Li Heng's hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, but his face was still respectful and he said: "Someone must stop Yin Ziqi's team, otherwise the road to Shu will be extremely difficult, and he will easily catch up."
Li Longji asked, "Oh? Then who do you think will stay?"
Li Heng didn't say anything immediately, this was an offending matter, Li Heng knew that Li Longji had begun to fear him, so he began to try every means to weaken his reputation.
Li Chu stood aside and looked at his father and then at his grandfather. For some reason, he suddenly felt very disappointed.
I don't know if it was because of this disappointment that he suddenly said, "I'll stay."
Li Longji and Li Heng looked at him together, and
Zhi Yi on the side came over and walked around the map twice and said, "Is this a treasure map?"
Li Tan was stunned for a moment, looked down at the map carefully, and found that there was actually a place marked on it, and it was written: the mountain of the court.
Zhi Yi sat down and swept his tail away and said: "The mountain of the court? This is not a mountain, it looks like a hill at most.
Li Tan said, "No, it's just a reference."
"Huh?" Zhi Yi looked at him suspiciously.
Li Tan nodded and said: "That's right, it is recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" that there are many ash trees, many white apes, many water jade, and many gold in the mountains."
Zhiyi's eyes lit up: "Gold!"
Li Tan smiled slightly and said: "That's right, gold, maybe you are right, this may really be a treasure map, um, let Chengjin take someone to take a look later."
After talking about it, Li Tan suddenly felt that the Public Opinion Department was really useful, and he could move it wherever he needed it.
Zhi Yi asked: "What kind of treasure do you think this is? How did Concubine Yang know?"
Li Tan shook his head: "How do I know? I'll find out when I dig it out."
Generally, gold and silverware will have the style of the casting period, and it is easy to judge as long as they are dug out.
In the early morning of the second day, Li Tan handed over the matter to Qi Jin. After hearing this, Qi Jin was very excited and felt that this was Li Tan's greatest trust in him. people know."
Li Tan didn't care: "If you have any inconvenience, just take my handbook and go to Tian Shengong, and ask him to send someone to help you."
Jin Jin's subordinates are flexible, but if something unexpected happens, the ability of these ordinary people to resist risks is almost zero.
Teng Jin knew that this was an insurance policy Li Tan gave them, so he accepted the order with a serious expression before bowing and leaving.
As soon as he left, he came in and said, "Your Highness, Yuan Zhe came to say that a group of rangers ran to the gate of the barracks this morning clamoring to join the army. He didn't dare to make decisions on his own, so he came to ask the king."
After hearing this, Li Tan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You Xia wants to join the army? That's strange."
While talking, he got up and went to see Yuan Zhe.
When Yuan Zhe saw Li Tan, he cupped his hands and saluted. Li Tan sat down and asked, "Where did those rangers come from?"
Yuan Zhe said: "It seems to be the ones that conflicted with us before."
It was only after he said this that Li Tan remembered that such an incident happened yesterday, but then Li Bai adjusted it. Could this be the result of the adjustment?
But...he asked: "Why is it like? Could it be that you still don't recognize them?"
Yuan Zhe said embarrassingly: "It's really hard to recognize them. They came here one by one with bruises and swollen faces. I can barely distinguish some of them. It should be no problem."
His nose was blue and his face was swollen... Li Tan suddenly had a bad feeling.
He adjusted his mood and said, "Do you think they really want to join the army?"
Yuan Zhe said: "It seems that they have changed their past, but these rangers are unstable, I'm worried..."
Li Tan smiled slightly: "Coincidentally, I have a charter here. There are three stages in total. Let them sign after reading it if they think they are competent."
Li Tan glanced at Qing Kong while he was talking, and Qing Kong immediately went to the study to bring over the documents that Li Tan had sorted out before.
After Yuan Zhe took it, he glanced at it from beginning to end, but gasped while watching: "Your Highness...this..."
Li Tan said: "It's not just them, the regular army should also follow this, but I have already had people strengthen the training of soldiers before, and the first journey is probably no problem for them."
Yuan Zhe said with a strange expression: "Of course there is no problem. I just dare to ask Your Highness, this...why do you train to walk?"
Li Tan said: "This doesn't seem to be very useful, but it can make them enforce orders and prohibit them. No matter how many times you say this kind of thing, they will not remember it or remember it. You must let them form a conditioned reflex."
Yuan Zhe subconsciously asked, "What... what reflex?"
Li Tan said with a lying face and said nothing: "It's nothing, anyway, just do what I say, and don't do what you can't do."
Yuan Zhe was full of question marks, if you can't do it, don't you?Is this really okay at a time like this?
However, Li Tan is determined to take the route of elite soldiers. After all, if these soldiers are too loose to fight independently on the battlefield, it is to let them die. Li Tan couldn't afford to fill it up.
Now that Li Tan had made up his mind, Yuan Zhe left with this document even if he was full of doubts.
This is also the fact that Li Tan has accumulated power for a long time, and the decisions he made are rarely wrong, otherwise Yuan Zhe would definitely argue with reason.
After Li Tan sent Yuan Zhe away, he turned to Qing Kong and asked, "How did Mr. Taibai solve the problem yesterday?"
Qing Kong said in a low voice: "Mr. Taibai originally went to reason with them, but most of these rangers are jerks. Seeing that Mr. Taibai is a scholar, although he dare not be powerless, he is still messing around. Mr. Taibai's temper... You know, When he got angry, he moved his hands, and then those rangers were all beaten up by Mr. Taibai."
Li Tan couldn't help but asked nervously, "No one died, right?"
Qing Kong quickly said: "This is not true, Mr. Taibai has a sense of measure."
Only then did Li Tan breathe a sigh of relief. He remembered that someone in later generations analyzed that Li Bai had really killed someone. The current Li Bai has not been subjected to so much training, and his temper is no different from when he was young. In society, looking at Xiang Kuo and others is probably like watching shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
In case the two were accidentally killed, Li Tan had to find a way to help with the aftermath.
It's good that no one is killed, but I don't know whether Xiang Kuo and the others really realized their mistake, or they were beaten so hard that they dared not admit their cowardice.
But these are not important, even if these people can't stand such a rigorous training, it doesn't matter, Li Tan can still take the opportunity to promote a wave of publicity and improve the image of soldiers.
Li Tan put this matter aside and began to pay attention to Jin Jin's treasure digging work.
It has to be said that Jin Jin did things quickly and dug things out without asking Yuan Zhe for help.
However, when Li Tan saw those boxes with the fragrance of earth, he was completely dazed—why does this box look so similar to the ones in the original palace?
Not only Li Tan, but even Li Bai who came to watch said, "This box doesn't look like an old thing."
Li Tan said, "Open it first and have a look."
What if the contents inside are valuable antiques?
Li Tan is still looking forward to this treasure. If it's not that there is no chance, Li Tan even wants to go treasure hunting by himself.
Qing Kong gestured to the two guards carrying the box, and then they stepped forward and violently destroyed the lock on the box.
Seeing them doing this, Li Tan had an idea at the time - why did he have to work so hard to open the lock for a long time?Is violent destruction bad?
This thought flashed through his mind, and when the box was opened, he was blinded by the jewels inside, and he looked down at the shiny gold and silver jewels in the box before saying in silence for a while: "This... ...like... new..."
Li Bai turned to look at him and asked, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid someone is entertaining you?"
Seeing that his expression was not good, Li Tan was afraid that he would do it again, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "I misunderstood, this lady left it for me."
Only then did Li Bai feel relieved: "My lady is really a virtuous woman."
Li Tan laughed, feeling that there was no way to comment on his words.
Concubine Yang Guifei may not be a virtuous woman, but the rebirth probably made her grow up a bit after all, but she must have escaped in a hurry and in a very hidden way, and she only brought a maid with her at that time, and the encounter with the Yang family was a later thing .
So how did she bring out these jewels?
This is not a small amount, there are at least ten boxes full of gold, silver and jewelry, among other things, even if it is just one of the boxes, the weight is not something Yang Guifei can handle.
While Li Tan asked people to put the gold, silver and jewelry into storage, he went back to write a letter to inquire about Concubine Yang.
He also found it strange that Concubine Yang Guifei didn't explain anything, just gave a treasure map, as if she was trying to guess a riddle, and she didn't know why she did this.
However, before he finished writing this letter, another letter came from Liangzhou. This time Concubine Yang finally wrote a letter. If you are greedy, it will be bad if someone takes it away.
Li Tan felt a little helpless when he saw this. Although you didn't write a letter, but you got such a small box to put the treasure map, and there was a very precious chain lock on it. Any fool knows that the things in this box must not be simple.
However, Concubine Yang Gui is not deeply involved in the world. She has been in the palace for two lifetimes combined, and the life inside the palace is also super simple - there are no conditions for others to fight her, after all, she is favored.
So it was probably the best way she could think of.
As for these jewels, it is also due to Li Tan himself. After all, he was the one who repeatedly reminded Concubine Yang that the Anshi Rebellion might not be avoided.
Although Concubine Yang always felt that it was unlikely that An Lushan would have such an opportunity, she still decided to defend herself, so she secretly chose a place, and then found someone to transport her belongings out and hide them little by little. .
You must know that Concubine Yang Guifei really has a lot of good things in her hands, and these jewels are only accumulated by her in half a year.
In the letter, Concubine Yang Gui felt quite regretful, thinking that if she had followed Li Tan's words, she would have started accumulating early, maybe even more than this.
Li Tan couldn't help but be speechless, is this still too little?
After emptying and storing those jewels in the warehouse, he made statistics and put a thick list on his desk.
According to his rough estimate, if all these jewels are used as military expenses, they can sustain the consumption of his entire army for one and a half to two years in non-wartime.
Pay attention to all these armies, which naturally include the armies in Hexi and Longyou, which are nearly 5 people.
If it is a combat period, it can last at least half a year.
Even though Concubine Yang Guifei doesn't seem to have many things in her possession, the ones that catch her eyes are all high-quality jade biscuits, and even Li Tan only has one or two pieces of that kind of jade biscuits, so she directly saved one or two pieces of jade biscuits. box.
Every time he thinks of the jade bi, Li Tan especially understands those who hate the rich.
At the end of the letter, Concubine Yang proudly told him that she had already disposed of those who buried these treasures for her, and no one would know the existence of this treasure.
Li Tan: ...
It doesn't matter even if he knows, this treasure is in his hands, unless someone can break through the heavy blockade of Prince Ning's Mansion to take these things away.
You must know that after he entered Beijing, he still lived in his palace honestly. Only a small part of the reason was that he didn't want to leave people with tongues, and the other major reason was that the palace was not as safe as his palace.
However, most people don't know the reason, and they are still praising Li Tan for his observance of etiquette, which is one of the reasons why those scholars are willing to stand for him.
Other than that, there was nothing important about this letter. Li Tan put the letter aside and began to pick up the list given by Wang Jijiu.
He took a cursory glance, and he was familiar with the names of several people. After all, he was also a teacher at the beginning. Although he was not an official doctor, he still had an impression of those students.
Similarly, those classmates of his were also missing, and he didn't know where they all went. Thinking of this, Li Tan felt that he should tell Concubine Yang that all the Yang family members were killed, although Concubine Yang might have known about it long ago.
However, the Yang family is not dead. The most correct thing they did was to let Yang Bian follow Li Tan, and Li Tan returned to Chang'an this time because he was afraid that something would happen, so he didn't let Yang Bian follow him at all.
Anyway, it also left a single seedling for the Yang family, but it can be imagined that it may be difficult for Yang Bing to live well in the future.
As for relying on Concubine Yang... Soon, even Li Longji will be abdicated. Concubine Yang will be the concubine of the Supreme Emperor. It may not be easy for Yang Bing to rely on her to start a family.
I'm afraid Li Tan will still have to help him when the time comes. After all, he is not very familiar with the rest of the Yang family, and he is relatively indifferent to their deaths, but Yang Bing still has a good relationship with him.
Moreover, Yang Bing's temperament is not bad, so he is worth helping.
After Li Tan wrote a letter to Concubine Yang, he was going to ask about Ji He's exam questions... Are you ready?
His husband here has already prepared everything. It is best to recruit people early and start classes early, so that Li Tan can also pay these people salaries earlier, so that they will not continue to live in hardship.
Ji He has been very busy recently. As Chang'an regains its vitality, Jing Zhaoyin has more and more things to do. The most important thing is that Chang'an is now mixed with fish and dragons, and many people have lost their household registration. He started to reorganize the household registration system.
Hearing Li Tan mention the exam now, he misses the Ministry of Rites very much. It was the Ministry of Rites who did all these things back then.
Ji He sighed and said, "Your Highness, if you make a mistake in your busy schedule, you can't be in a hurry. Why don't you leave this matter to the Imperial College."
Li Tan hesitated: "I have also thought about it, but if it is handed over to the Imperial College, if it is spread out, it will really become an open subject to obtain a scholar. I am afraid that the imperial court will not let it go."
Ji He said: "I think His Highness acts vigorously and resolutely, but why is he stagnant here? Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. We are all in Chang'an. Can we still watch those people wrong His Highness? What's more, now that the treacherous ministers have been cleared, what can His Highness do?" Worried?"
Li Tan said with a wry smile: "To tell you the truth, if Yang Guozhong is not dead, I would not have any scruples. He is a traitor to you, but he is a great help to me. Now he and his henchmen are all When I was uprooted, it was the people who made things difficult for me before, so how could I not be careful?"
After hearing this, Ji He said: "Why does Your Highness think so? Yang Guozhong speaks for you because he needs something from you, not because he thinks what you are doing is right. Even if what you do is wrong, he will I will speak for you, you were too involved with him before, now that Yang Guozhong is dead and the chaotic party has been cleared up, only the princes in the court can treat you fairly."
After listening to Li Tan, he felt that Ji He's last sentence seemed to be a metaphor. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that what Ji He said was that he was too close to the Yang family before. The family is regarded as one.
In this case, no matter what Li Tan did is right or wrong, the first thing everyone needs to think about is how much weight he will add to the Yang family, so even if what he does is right, as long as it does not affect the fate of the country, Everyone will be more cautious.
Now that Yang Guozhong is dead, many ministers don't know the whereabouts of Concubine Yang, so they think that Concubine Yang may be separated from the main force, or wander or die in the rebellion.
In addition, Li Tan returned to Chang'an in distress, which is enough to attract the favorability of many people, so what he does now, everyone will look at it from a fair and equal perspective.
Thinking about it this way, Li Tan also felt that it was nothing to hand over this matter to the Imperial College.
What's more, the entire Langhuan Academy now is the original staff of the Imperial College, if you want to trouble him, this is enough.
Li Tan frowned and said: "Let's leave it to them. However, we can't publish those flashy papers. Whether we can write poems or not is secondary, and governing the people is the essence."
After hearing this, Ji He had only one thought: King Ning's plan is very big.
After all, if you just want to help, you don’t need to be able to govern the people at all. Generally, those who are capable of governing the people are at least at the county magistrate level, and now there is no shortage of county magistrates near Chang’an—they are the latest to get the news, and it is too late to run away Later, Ji He and Zou Shi came forward.
The two of them, especially Ji He, had many people who believed in him because of his precious character, and they didn't leave when they saw Ji He, so they simply stayed.
That's why the entire Chang'an can barely operate. Without them, Ji He would not be able to manage this Chang'an even if he was exhausted.
These people are all familiar now, and based on Ji He's understanding of Li Tan, he will definitely not easily change people at this time.
Then he must have selected these people with the ability to govern the people for future use. As for where to use them... even Ji He didn't have a clue for a while.
However, he didn't ask any more questions. After discussing the location of the examination room with Li Tan, he got up and left.
However, Li Tan's mind was opened. When he was talking about the questions on the test paper, he originally wanted to say that it would be best for those students to know some military skills.
But think about it, even if these students know the art of war, it's just a matter of talking on paper. If you really need generals, it's better to hold a military election.
Anyway, the literary anthology is open, and it doesn't matter if there is another martial arts election. If people degenerate, it will be very fast.
But Wuxuan had to ask Tian Shengong and Yuan Zhe to come, even Chen Chong.
Li Tan directly approached them, and after he expressed his thoughts, Chen Chong hesitated for a moment, and glanced at Tian Shengong.
Tian Shengong immediately understood what he meant. Although Chen Chong was the head of Li Tan's personal guard, Tian Shengong, the general who was promoted by Li Tan, was probably closer to him in terms of closeness.
So if there are some bad words to say, he will naturally let him come.
Tian Shengong asked: "Your Majesty, martial arts can't guarantee that these people are good generals. The people selected by martial arts are not much better if they have no experience. Sometimes it's better to let those students come. At least they I have read enough books, if I read all the military books, I might be able to draw inferences from one instance."
After hearing this, Li Tan felt that it was only in this era when civil and military families had not yet been completely separated that generals would say such things. After all, the pinnacle of life that the Tang Dynasty paid attention to was to be a general and a prime minister.
He touched his chin and asked, "Do you have any good seedlings under your hands?"
The three of them looked at each other and said, "Yes, there are, but the background is not very good."
Li Tan waved his hand: "Heroes, don't ask where it came from. Now that the world is in chaos, it's time to pay attention to this?"
Yuan Zhe said with a wry smile: "The problem is, there are many people who don't know how to type."
Fortunately, Tian Shengong's subordinates said that they were all troops built up bit by bit after Li talked about Liangzhou.
Chen Chong's subordinates also chose Chang'an Liangjiazi at the beginning, and they were all of good quality.
Only Yuan Zhe, his subordinates were originally selected by Shanzhou to guard the frontier, and Tubo came to harass him from time to time, those who had a little background in their families or who had a little ability in themselves had already left, and those who stayed there were basically alone. There is no way out, or the family is poor, and they have to live on the soldier's salary.
Under such circumstances, it is useless even if there are good seedlings. They don't know the words, and they can't understand the edicts issued by the higher authorities. If they are deceived, there will be big troubles.
Li Tan thought for a while, changed his mind and said, "Go back and sort out all the good seedlings in your hands, report them, and I'll give them a chance."
Tian Shengong and Chen Chong were fine, but Yuan Zhe asked with great concern, "What chance?"
Li Tan smiled: "A chance to study."
"Learning?" The three said in unison.
Li Tan nodded: "Educate those who can't read, and ask someone to read military books for those who can read. At least the person you value is not an idiot, right? If you really can't learn it, it probably won't be of much use."
"Literacy?" Yuan Zhe said with a look of disbelief, "This... the current situation... is it possible?"
Li Tan sneered: "Why not? If it weren't for the current situation, they wouldn't even think about this kind of opportunity. Even if I wanted to, the imperial court wouldn't let me do it."
Before the liberation of the Datu Dynasty, it was fighting and eradicating illiteracy, and after liberation, it was quite successful in producing while eradicating illiteracy.
People, if you don't force it, you always don't know where your limit is.
Yuan Zhe and Tian Shengong had almost blind trust in Li Tan, and they heard Li Tan say it was okay, so they would do it.
The most important thing is that what Li Tan said is very reasonable. If it weren't for the chaos in the world, no matter how talented the people at the bottom are, they wouldn't be able to climb up. They wouldn't have that chance at all.
The three turned their heads and went back to study the list. Li Tan knew without thinking that they must have chosen his confidant. This was a legitimate opportunity to expand his power.
However, Li Tan didn't intend to publicize this matter, otherwise there would definitely be opposition. Anyway, when the time came, he would just promote someone who was suitable for him.
As for the teacher of the refresher class, it is very easy to find, and Chen Chong's subordinates are just right to do this job.
After all, those people brought by Chen Chong were originally asked to rob houses. Cough, wrong, it is more appropriate to attack the powerful, but Li Tan himself is not at ease if they are allowed to go to the battlefield.
But put them away, these people will definitely have opinions, after all, who doesn't want to make contributions?
It’s just right now. Go back and ask those people who is willing to go to the battlefield. Those who are willing will be sent to receive training with those rangers, and those who are not will stay and teach. Of course, even teaching requires some skills. Li Tan would not let him mislead his children.
After all these things have been sorted out, and the people selected by Tian Shengong and others are sent to study, the day of the exam will come.
The exam was specially chosen in the college, in order to let these students experience the place where they will study in the future.
On the day before the exam, Li Tan made a special trip to the academy. This was the first time he went there after the academy was built.
Although it was during the period of war, but because Chang'an City did not receive much damage, and with the support of Ningzhou and other places, the process of building this academy was not tortuous.
And because of the blueprints, the entire academy has basically been restored, except for the Langhuan Book Pavilion in the middle.
Now that the site of Langhuan Book Pavilion is still there, and it is vacant, that is the place that Li Tanwang Academy cannot avoid.
He stood in front of the rammed earth foundation of the Book Pavilion in a daze for a long time, and he couldn't bear to look at Wang Jijiu beside him, so he couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, the deceased is dead, you should be relieved."
Li Tan took a long breath and said: "It's nothing, I just feel like something is missing without the Book Pavilion. After all, it's different from before."
Wang Jijiu shut up and didn't speak, he didn't seem to be able to answer this sentence.
Instead, Ji He persuaded: "Your Highness, please look to the future."
Li Tan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm just feeling emotional. This is also a lesson for me. People's hearts... are the most unpredictable thing. I thought I was not bad for the Yang family back then. But I didn't expect that they could kill so many people for mere money."
Wang Jijiu gritted his teeth and said, "It's hard to find such a wolf-hearted person in the world!"
Li Tan suddenly said: "When the school starts, the first lesson is to bring those students here first, and tell them that nothing is important to anyone. What if... I said what if this kind of thing happens again. They protect themselves first, even if they abandon the academy, it doesn't matter, as long as there are people, the academy will be there."
Wang Jijiu froze for a moment, hesitated: "This... I'm afraid it's not good."
These are not consistent with the thoughts of Professor Guozijian. After all, strictly speaking, this can be regarded as egoism.
Li Tan smiled and said: "I'm talking about times of crisis, but it's not like it's always the case. Anyway, offering wine can be done at will."
Wang Jijiu was a little helpless after hearing this. Li Tan had enough trust in him to entrust everything to him, but the problem is that this hands-off shopkeeper is too neat, right?
Just when Wang Jijiu was about to protest, Jin Jin quickly ran up and said, "Your Majesty, the sage has written an order."
Li Tan was a little surprised, because communication was inconvenient, and Li Longji seldom wrote letters to him unless there was something important, and nothing major happened recently, so why?
When he opened the manuscript, he found that it was Li Longji who asked him to look for Concubine Yang.
And this handbook only has Li Longji's private seal on it, strictly speaking, this is not even a handbook, it can only be regarded as a letter written by Li Longji to Li Tan.
Li Tan turned around and asked Ji He to cooperate with Wang Jijiu to check the academy thoroughly to prevent any problems in the examination room, and then went back to write a memorial and a letter.
The memorial followed the formal procedure to impeach the Yang family. Of course, there is basically nothing left in the Yang family, so he wrote this memorial just to let everyone know that the Yang family burned his academy and robbed his treasures.
The letter told Li Longji that he had found Concubine Yang, but just to be on the safe side, he did not let Concubine Yang stay in Chang'an, but had someone escort her to Liangzhou.
Here, Li Tan reversed the order in which Concubine Yang Guifei went to Liangzhou and he went to Chang'an, so that no one would turn around and ask Concubine Yang Guifei why she didn't go to see the big troops if she was able to travel so far to Liangzhou. Fighting is also very troublesome.
And in the past, everyone really didn't dare to offend Concubine Yang, even if Concubine Yang, who lived a new life, restrained a lot.
But it's different now. Concubine Yang has no backing, the Yang family has been swept away, and now there is only one Yang Bing left, and Li Longji's prestige is declining day by day. Things are messing with that.
When Li Tan's memorial and letter were delivered, Gao Lishi was trying to support Li Tan.
Just as Li Tan thought, he is now in charge of Chang'an, and Chang'an has not been captured by Anlu Mountain, so some people began to worry that he would replace him or have rebellious intentions.
If Li Tan wanted to establish himself as emperor, it would be too easy, he had soldiers and money, and the most important thing was that he even had the imperial palace ready-made.
What made Gao Lishi most angry was that these people actually wanted to find someone to replace Li Tan.
Is this easily replaceable?Will Li Tan's soldiers listen to others?Turning around, he patted his butt and returned to Liangzhou. I'm afraid whoever goes to Chang'an will die!
Why is there nothing in Chang'an now?It's not because Li Tan is there to hold on.
Although he didn't know what Li Tan had done, it was true that An Lushan's attack on Chang'an was delayed.
As for why he thought it was Li Tan who did it, the main reason was that this matter was too strange. In the face of such a big matter as attacking Chang'an, according to common sense, An Qingzong and An Qingxu would take Chang'an even if they had a great hatred.
However, An Qingzong and An Qingxu seemed to have lost their minds, and actually killed each other on the eve of the war, which is completely unreasonable.
Li Tan has such abilities, even if he is not said to be the only hope to defeat An Lushan, but as long as he guards Chang'an, the sage no longer has to travel all the way to avoid Anlushan.
Just for this Gao Lishi also supports Li Tan.
Of course, he also knew why those people made trouble for Li Tan—they were worried that Li Tan would make trouble for them in the future!
But when he saw Li Tan's memorial, he really breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly sent the memorial to Li Longji.
And when Li Longji saw it, all the ministers and officials basically knew the hatred between Li Tan and the Yang family - he himself killed dozens of people in the Yang family.
These people who had been looking for trouble with Li were suddenly startled, never expecting such a turnaround.
All of a sudden, everyone was a little lost. They didn't know whether to continue to think of ways to replace Li Tan, or to support him.
They haven't discussed anything yet, and Li Tan's second memorial has arrived. This memorial is about the selection of candidates through the examination.
After learning the news, these officials bombed again, and this time basically all the officials at the lower level were bombed.
These officials were originally Chang'an grassroots. They were not qualified to be led away by Li Longji. It was just that after Li Longji ran away, they also chose to escape. It happened that Li Longji was staying in Mawei Station, so they followed.
At that time, Li Longji was suspicious of everyone because of Yang Guozhong's killing, and the support of these people could make him paralyze himself.
So these people stayed.
Naturally, they have to work after they stay, but where is their position in the imperial court today?
As a result, they haven't found a suitable position for themselves, and the original position is about to be lost?
These people immediately became agitated. For these people's agitation, Chen Xilie, one of the only two prime ministers, expressed his headache. He really wanted to kick out these people who had more than failed.
What worries him the most is whether Li Shizhi will follow suit. Before that, he was the loudest voice among the opposition parties.
Just when Chen Xilie was worried, he saw Li Shizhi coming in a hurry. Chen Xilie's head hurt again, and he directly raised his hand and said, "If you are talking about Chang'an, I advise you not to mention it. The saint saw the memorial of His Royal Highness King Ning. You are in a good mood, you should rest."
Li Shizhi said helplessly: "What King Ning did is a good thing, not to mention there are people from the Imperial College to help check it out. What I want to talk about is not this matter!"
Chen Xilie breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's fine if it's not this, what is that?"
Li Shizhi's expression was not so good and he said: "Information from the front line, Xu Yuan, the prefect of Suiyang, is in a hurry. An Lushan uses Yin Ziqi as his general to go to Henan. I'm afraid it's for the saint."
Chen Xilie's expression turned a little ugly, he felt that Anlu Mountain was like a deep well of ice, King Ning was guarding Chang'an alone, why don't you go after the saint?
According to the reason, it should be more strategic to occupy Chang'an, unless... he thinks that King Ning is a hard bone and not easy to chew.
Just when Chen Xilie was thinking this way, Li Shizhi said, "Mr. Chen, what do you think... is there something in the hands of King Ning that makes An Lushan so afraid?"
Chen Xilie smiled wryly: "Hey, how would I know, I'd better report it to the saint, I don't think this Mawei post is a place to stay for a long time."
Li Shizhi said that this was in the heart of the sage. Ever since the Yang family and their in-laws were chopped down in Maweiyi, Li Longji had a psychological shadow on this place.
He has always wanted to continue walking, but if he continues to go down, he can only enter Shu. Now that the Central Plains is still relatively stable, entering Shu is not a good choice, after all, the road is too difficult to walk.
Originally, they more or less hoped that Li Tan would be able to clean up the surrounding areas of Chang'an as soon as possible, and then they would be able to return to Chang'an.
However, An Lushan unexpectedly gave up Chang'an for the time being, and was going to trouble Li Longji first.
Chen Xilie felt that An Lushan might threaten Li Tan if he could catch Li Longji and others, but soon he felt that this idea was not right.
After all, An Lushan didn't need to be so afraid of Li Tan.
When he and Li Shi were looking for Li Longji, Li Heng and Li Chu happened to be there.
Li Longji has been in low spirits lately, when he heard that An Lushan was going to transfer to Henan, he was as frightened as a bird, and quickly said: "Order, enter Shu!"
Li Heng looked at his father in such a panic, the image of Li Longji in his heart like a giant is gradually collapsing.
He opened his mouth and said, "Father, it's not an option to hide like this. Mawei Station must keep people here, otherwise Yin Ziqi will be just as flat as a horse."
Li Longji gave him a cold look and said, "Oh? What's the prince's opinion?"
Li Heng's hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, but his face was still respectful and he said: "Someone must stop Yin Ziqi's team, otherwise the road to Shu will be extremely difficult, and he will easily catch up."
Li Longji asked, "Oh? Then who do you think will stay?"
Li Heng didn't say anything immediately, this was an offending matter, Li Heng knew that Li Longji had begun to fear him, so he began to try every means to weaken his reputation.
Li Chu stood aside and looked at his father and then at his grandfather. For some reason, he suddenly felt very disappointed.
I don't know if it was because of this disappointment that he suddenly said, "I'll stay."
Li Longji and Li Heng looked at him together, and
