Chapter 862
The morning court ended in a hurry.
Li Chao walked out of the hall calmly with countless gazes of exploration. As soon as he left the hall, the eunuch Wang was there to patrol him, "Suce Li, Your Majesty summoned him in the imperial study."
Li Chao responded, and ignored the eyes of others, followed Eunuch Wang and went there.
The emperor only met Li Chao alone.
This morning, Li Shimin did not talk to any prime minister about this edict. He only knew about the decision when the Secretariat, who was on duty yesterday, drafted the edict, but the emperor also told him that no word should be disclosed.
Eunuch Wang led Li Chao outside the door of the imperial study room and smiled at him, but he did not go in.
As soon as Li Chao came in, Li Shimin stood up after the imperial case. He had just held a memorial, but he was actually not interested in watching it. He walked around to the table, Li Shimin took Li Chao's hand and walked to the sofa on the side to sit down.
"Sanlang, what happened to you going out was a bit sudden."
The emperor called Li Chao by Sanlang, which was an extremely intimate name. Li Chao heard it and nodded with a smile.
"Does Your Majesty plan to stop the new policy?" Li Chao asked.
Outsiders called his reforms a reform, but Li Chao himself prefers to call it the New Deal. At this time, the emperor suddenly transferred him out of Beijing, which was not easy.
The Turks and the Goguryeo people joined forces to invade, but only 100,000 people. Yuchi Gong, Hebei and Li Ji, Hedong, could stand alone, and he did not need him, the Shangshu Ling, to go north personally. It can only be said that the emperor's drunkenness intention was not wine.
Li Shimin shook his head.
"I am determined to reform and make progress, and fully support the reform of reform. How could I retreat in the middle?" He clapped Li Chao's hand, "But recently, I have found that all parties have a high voice in opposition to the new policy. I am not afraid, I just don't want to fight a war in this unfavorable situation."
Li Chao didn't speak, just looked at the emperor.
Li Shimin said, "You don't have to worry or doubt that my idea of reform will not change. However, sometimes it also requires strategies and adaptability. Nowadays, various public opinion is not good for our reform. So let's wait first, find out the problem, and find out the people who are fanning the flames behind us."
Li Chao felt that the emperor's words were sincere, and he was not the kind of person who was cowardly when encountering difficulties.
"Your Majesty, I am really too anxious, which has led to the current public opinion being boiling, and I am scolded by the people of the world."
Li Shimin shook his head.
"The only mediocre people in the world are without blame or reputation. If you hate them, you can be called an extraordinary treacherous hero. If you praise them all over the world, you can be called an extraordinary hero. Although the world's people are a thousand people, but the extraordinary people cannot find one. If you judge an extraordinary person from ordinary people, you can't see it? Therefore, if you praise the world, you may not be willing to be a local wish, and slander the world, you may not be a great man. It is said that a decision is determined by placing a coffin, but many people still have a discussion for decades and hundreds of years after the coffin is built."
Before Li Chao became the Minister of State, he praised the whole world.
But now, he is the Minister of State and presided over the new policy, but he is slandered by everyone in the world.
However, the emperor did not see it like the world. When everyone in the world praised Li Chaoshi, he did not panic and suspicion. When everyone in the world slandered Li Chaoshi, he did not misconception.
He has his own opinion and believes in his own opinion.
"Now, public opinion is actually a secret inciting people, and many people don't know the truth and follow the trend."
Faced with the current situation, Li Shimin is not Yang Guang and will not be forced. Sometimes when he encounters difficulties in war, the enemy is powerful or the morale is strong, he cannot be forced to do so at this time, and he has to avoid the edge.
Avoiding the edge for the time being is not a fear of the enemy, but a strategy.
The current new policy also requires a strategy.
"I am a minister and want to do my best for the court, but if the court has the opinion of the court, I will not cooperate with me, and I will hinder my elbows, what can I do?"
"The new coup reform is the first to the king. If you have my support, why can't you do it?"
Li Shimin still said that his determination to reform remains unchanged, but the current public opinion still shows that they are not prepared enough. Li Shimin does not want to confront head-on, but instead takes the slowdown first, avoid the edge, and observe carefully.
"You go to Hebei first. Although the court originally wanted to quit for a few years, since Ye Hu was invading and invited Goguryeo, we have to fight. You go to Hebei in person and fight them back."
Li Chao just nodded.
"I have given you the title of Jiedushi so that you can fully control the war situation in the north and manage local civil affairs, finance and taxation, etc. Do you know the intention of my move?" Li Shimin asked.
The Jiedushi was awarded once before, and was also awarded to Li Chao. At that time, he was awarded the Jiedushi of Li Chao. However, at that time, Shuofang was still in the hands of Liang Shidu. The Jiedushi's horse was still in charge of the army and the people, and it was actually just a convenience for combat.
But this time it was different. The jurisdictions assigned by the Emperor of Yanyun Jiedushi included the entire Hedong and Hebei roads.
Go on horses to control the army, get off horses to control the people, give special rewards to rewards, and be dedicated to killing in festivals.
This is equivalent to the authority of the big Taiwan in the past. The court abolished the Taiwan, abolished the General Administration, and the Governor's Office, and the Xuanfu Envoy was also withdrawn immediately after the matter was done, but now Li Chao is granted a more powerful Jiedushi.
"This time, letting you go to Youzhou and be responsible for repelling the Turkic Goguryeo is just one of them. More importantly, let you go to the local area and start the trial of the new policy."
Li Chao laughed.
Li Shimin is cunning enough and the central government has great resistance, so he asked Li Chao to go to the local area to conduct a pilot project first.
After all, when I arrived at the local area, no one would care about Li Chao, the governor.
"You let go, I will take care of you by the court."
"But also pay attention to some methods and implement the new policy in the name of military defense against foreign enemies, and the resistance should be smaller."
After coming out of the palace, Li Chao looked at the cloudy sky and sighed secretly.
He originally thought that the emperor would be forced to remove him from the position of Shangshu Ling and let him step down, even if it was temporary.
When he returned to his mansion, Li Chao called Ke Qing.
"Call everyone outside back, no need to fan the flames."
Ke Qing said, "I have heard about the morning court. Your Majesty asked you to leave Hebei and give you the title of the governor of Yanyun. Isn't this result very good? At least you can leave Xiangyang."
Li Chao shook his head.
When Li Chao was appointed as the Minister of the Shangshu Ling, he was not very willing.
But as soon as he was in charge of the Secretariat, Li Shimin chased Li Chao and gave him many tasks, which was extremely stressed. Didn’t Li Chao know that Li Shimin was too anxious, but he finally agreed and even came up with many reform methods at once.
Originally, these new policies should be introduced slowly, with one point at a time and the word "stable" is the best.
But Li Chao was doing so fiercely. In fact, he wanted to use this to cause trouble. The new policy touched the interests of many people, and there would definitely be a strong rebound in the end. At that time, he took the opportunity to resign and retire to his fiefdom. What a great thing.
Anyway, in the Tang Dynasty, there were a group of famous officials such as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. With them, Zhenguan would still become the Zhenguan ruler.
Li Chao kept coming up with new policies and implemented them non-stop. On the other hand, he secretly asked Ke Qing to lead people to spread rumors everywhere, causing rumors in the capital to spread, and the public opinion was pointed at Li Chao.
But who would have expected that the Turks and Goguryeo would come at this time? What was even more unexpected was that Li Shimin did not give up due to public opinion.
His reaction was very clever. He asked Li Chao to go to Hebei to preside over the battle in name, but actually asked Li Chao to go to the local area to implement the new policy first, so that the resistance would be smaller.
This result was something Li Chao did not expect.
The governor of Yanyun, Li Chao recited it a few times and smiled bitterly.
"When will the Prime Minister set out?"
"tomorrow."
Not long ago, the court sent Cheng Yaojin Hou Junji to fight against Tubo. Now the Turks and Goguryeo have joined forces to fight over, which is really a troublesome.
Mansion.
Everyone in the mansion is busy.
Cui Yingying and the others were all sitting in the hall. It was not long after the New Year, and my husband had not stayed at home for a month. He had just returned home before the New Year, and now he is going out again.
"The damn Goguryeo people actually came to Hebei." A manager sighed. Like his father, this manager once participated in the battle of Liao. "I remember that in the previous dynasty, he fought against Goguryeo several times and even mobilized a million troops, but he failed to conquer Goguryeo. That was a damn place."
Goguryeo was originally located in a corner of Liaodong.
But after several Eastern Expeditions during the Sui Dynasty, no one in the world did not know the name of Goguryeo.
Many people are even afraid of Goguryeo.
In many folk legends, the Goguryeo people are half-human and half-beasts who eat humans. They eat raw meat and drink blood, which is extremely cruel. Liaodong is even more a wild land, with poor mountains and bad waters everywhere, and ferocious beasts are rampant.
Li Chao came out of the study, Cui Yingying and others stood up.
"Can't you go? You are the Minister of State. If you want to preside over the Secretariat or the Prime Minister, you have to assist Your Majesty in Beijing. There are wars in the north, but there are those generals in the north. Why do you, the Prime Minister, take action personally?"
"It's okay, I'll be back soon." Li Chao said, holding his wife's hand.
Du Shiniang also came over, "I heard that Goguryeo people are very savage and fierce, please be careful."
Li Shimin asked Li Chao to set off early, but Li Chao decided to leave early tomorrow morning.
I'm going to set out, and there are a lot of things that my family has to explain.
He doesn't worry about other things, just to give more advice on the territory.
The Li family has a total of 600 miles of fiefdom. Except for one that is 300 miles north of Langshan, the rest are 100 miles or even dozens of miles, with eight.
There are nine fiefdoms, Li Chao, his father, and seven sons, each one. The nine fiefdoms are not together, southeast, west, and even far away on the island on the Ximan Sea.
This brings a lot of trouble to the construction of the territory, but the territory has been obtained. Unless you are willing to give up on your own initiative, you should manage it, otherwise there is a possibility of losing the territory.
Li Chao's sons are still young and cannot go to the territory to preside over the presidency. Maybe twenty years later, these little guys can guard their castles, but they are not yet able to do so.
Li Chao couldn't let his women go there either, and the fiefdoms were still nothing. He could only let the officials in the mansion go to the presidency instead of him and his sons.
All the selected managers were very excited.
