(Thanks to everyone for their monthly tickets for the sunny day, the fire phoenix, the gentleman cypress, the dawn of the dark night, the king of skeletons, the bright clouds, and the quiet people. Thank you for your support!)
Li Jing is now determined to leave Chang'an early and return to Dengzhou. Although Chang'an is extremely prosperous, he is here, and he is trapped in Pingyang and ransand. Although there are 20,000 troops in the hands of the state, so there is no need to worry about the previous assassination risk again, but staying here in such a mediocre situation makes him unbearable. The situation in Liaodong is facing drastic changes, and he must go back early to prepare.
As for asking for orders to wipe out the thieves, Li Jing did not have such an idea. He proposed to lead troops to suppress the bandits, but only to advance and retreat. He knew deeply that Tian Lingzi had long been incompatible with him, and no matter what he said, the traitor would definitely oppose it. Previously, the army of Zhenguo entered the Peking Union to pacify the rebellion, and Li Jing gained both fame and fortune, and suddenly became a high position, and was deeply loved by the emperor. Tian Lingzi would never give Li Jing a chance to pacify the bandits, especially in Tian Lingzi's view, the bandits were just a group of salt dealers gathering and could never be compared with the Shatuo people. If Li Jing wanted to suppress the bandits, it would definitely make a contribution in one blow.
Sure enough, after Li Jing proposed to lead troops to eliminate the thieves, before Li Yan could react, Tian Lingzi immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, it's getting late. It's better to leave it to Yanying Palace to discuss it tomorrow. It's cold outside. Your Majesty just sweated a little, so he was careful to catch a cold."
Li Yan smiled and nodded, "Prepare for the meal, I will have a meal with the Duke of Qi today."
Afterwards, they had dinner with the emperor, whether it was Tian Lingzi, Li Jing and Li Yan. The three of them no longer mentioned the matter of suppressing the thieves. After using the meal, Li Jing played three games with the emperor. One and two games were won. Although they were defeated, it was not easy for the emperor to win, which made the young emperor very happy.
That night he stayed in Qinghua Palace. After breakfast the next day, Li Jing returned to Chang'an with Li Yan's imperial guards.
After returning to Chang'an, Li Jing returned to Qinrenfang.
Li Zhen came up and said, "How?"
"With Tian Lingzi here, I'm not worried about being transferred to the charge of extermination of the thieves. However, Tian Lingzi is also likely to be transferred to us to send troops together. But this is not a bad thing. We can take this opportunity to return to Dengzhou." As long as we are not the commander of the bandit suppression, Li Jing will not be too worried. As long as Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao are a little self-aware, then when they see the arrival of the imperial army, they should take the initiative to escape. At that time, Li Jing can go back to Dengzhou directly.
He picked up the hot tea and took a sip. Li Jing held the teacup and asked, "How is the matter going to the Zuzuyuan?"
Jinduyuan was originally called Shangduliu Backyard. Later, it was renamed Shangdu Jinduyuan.
Jinzouyuan is the residence where officials from various prefectures and towns go to the capital to meet the emperor or handle other affairs. It is also the contact place for officials from the town to enter the capital. Jinzouyuan has a Jinzouyuan who reports the situation of the town to the court, submits the statement of the town, and promptly reports the situation of the court and other towns to the town, conveys imperial edicts and documents. Handle the matters of tax payments from the town to the court, and asks the court for instructions and decrees for major matters that cannot be decided by the town without authorization.
In general, Jinzuyuan is a Beijing office in Beijing. But in fact, as the late Tang vassal states became increasingly independent, the court and the vassal states sometimes could not directly talk, so this Jinzuyuan became an intermediate channel of contact. The court directly passed the words to the Jinzuyuan, and then sent them back to the vassal states. Moreover, Jinzuyuan was also the eyes and ears of the vassal states set up in the capital, and they spyed on the court through Jinzuyuan and threatened the court.
Now, the entire Chang'an has more than 50 Jinzuyuans. The status of Jinzuan officials is extremely high, and even has the right to be no less than that of the deputy prime minister. Jinzuan officials are equivalent to the full representative of the local vassal states and the commander of the vassal states in Chang'an.
In addition to these important functions, Jinzouyuan also has a great function, which is to undertake the exchange function. Since the Tang Dynasty has always been short of money, especially at the moment, the shortage of money is even more serious. In order to cope with this situation, the court and local governments generally stipulate that local copper coins are not allowed to leave the boundary.
Since the reign of Emperor Xianzong of Tang, merchants in various places in the capital delivered the proceeds from the sale to the Jinzouyuan in various provinces and towns stationed in Beijing. The Jinzouyuan issued a "document" or "public documents", and handed one couple to the merchants, and sent one couple to the original road. Whether the merchants traveled from the place to the capital or returned from the capital, they did not have to carry a large amount of coins on their bodies. They could rush on their way and cashed them when they arrived, similar to today's checks.
The Zhenguo Army has now been promoted to one of the more than 50 towns in the Tang Dynasty, especially a newly opened vassal state, so naturally a Jinzouyuan had to be established in Chang'an.
According to Li Jing's meaning, there are four main functions of this Jinzouyuan. First, it is naturally the contact place for officials from the town to Beijing, and it is also the residence for officials from the state to work in Beijing. Second, the Jinzouyuan will be the secret stronghold of the Xiaoqisi in Beijing, using the identity of the Jinzouyuan to cover up their identity as a secret spy, and be responsible for inquiring about movements and spying on the confidential information of the court. Third, the Jinzouyuan will be an important exchange network of the Zhenguo Army in Chang'an, and undertake the exchange of flying money for merchants between the Zhenguo Army and Chang'an. At the same time, it is also an important stronghold for Sihai Money Village to develop into the capital. Fourth, the Jinzouyuan will also be responsible for winning over the nobles and princes in Chang'an, recruiting some talented people to send them to Dengzhou.
"The address has been selected. It is right between the Imperial City Taimiao and Xingqing Palace. The southeast corner is Dongcheng City. The two fangs of Pingkang and Xuanyang are Qinrenfang, not far from Tonghua Gate and Chunming Gate. This house is very large, and it is probably not a problem to live in two or three thousand people." Zhang Hong said with a smile. Now the names of Zhenguojun and Li Jing are indeed very famous in Chang'an. Zhenguo Festival is about to build Jinzhaoyuan, and many princes and nobles have come to provide convenience. There is almost no trouble, and the address has been selected. The houses and furniture are ready-made and can be checked in and office at any time.
What Li Jing has to consider now is who to be the contributor to be the contributor. This candidate must be loyal, reliable, outstanding and social. The best candidate in Li Jing's heart should be Li Zhen. He had lived in Beijing for many years and had a better understanding of the Chang'an officialdom. What is more outstanding is his own strategic communication. However, Li Jing soon rejected it because he still cannot live without this military advisor around him.
Then he thought of Li Wei and Gongsun Lan, but in the end they both rejected it. Li Wei was the chief officer of the Knights and was still in charge of the commander in the army, which was also very important. Gongsun Lan was a woman, and what was more important was that Li Jing was always a little worried about her loyalty.
Finally, after thinking about it, Li Jing saw Zhang Hong.
With a chuckle, Li Jing said to Zhang Hong: "Since Zhang Lushi has done things so quickly, so just Zhang Lushi will be the official in charge. Zhang Lushi is getting older and just in the capital to cultivate himself."
Hearing this appointment and removal, Zhang Hong showed surprise and was flattered. This referee is much more glorious than his current military officer. As a representative of the Zhenguo Army staying in Chang'an, you can imagine that the future will be very comfortable.
After a few delays, Zhang Hong finally agreed. The referee was an official who could attend the court meeting. In an instant, he felt like he had entered the sky.
After appointing Zhang Hong to stay in Chang'an, he picked up 200 soldiers from the Zhenguo Army, which were naturally mixed with some secret spies from the Knights. Even Zhang Hong didn't know the identities of these spies.
As it was about to be sunset and dusk, the palace suddenly sent eunuchs to send an order to Li Jing into the palace to see him.
Li Jing's heart moved, probably because the incident of the bandit suppression had already been followed. He immediately took a shower and changed his clothes, changed his official robe and went to the palace.
When Li Jing arrived at His Highness Yanying for the last body search, he had already seen several acquaintances arrive. Zheng Cong-sei, Cui Anqian, Yu Jin and others all arrived, and Li Jing stepped forward to chat with them.
In addition to the people he met, there were a few people Li Jing had never met. One of the old men went up and bowed and smiled and said, "The hero is a young man. Li Zhenguo has just won the championship and has already controlled the three towns. It really makes me ashamed."
Yu Jin quickly introduced Li Jing softly and told him that this person was Du Shenquan. When he heard that this person was Du Shenquan, the newly appointed Zhaoyi Jiedushi, Li Jing couldn't help but greet him with a smile.
Du Shenquan also lived in Duozhen one after another, and he also had another identity, that is, he was the uncle of the two prime ministers in the current political affairs hall, the mother of Prime Minister Lu Xie and Prime Minister Zheng Ting, and Du Shenquan's wife Li, who are sisters.
Du Shenquan, a wealthy family, was born in the Du family of Jingzhao, served as the judge of the observation department of Jiangxi, the right pick, the left Buque, the Sixun Yuanwailang, the Langzhong Zhizai, the Zhizhizhizhizhi, the Zhongshushushen, Quan Zhizhizhizhiju, the Ministry of Rites, the Minister of Rites, the Chief Secretary of the Grand Governor of Shaanxi Province, the Shaanxi Guodu Tuanlian Observation Envoy, the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Hezhong Yin, the Minister of Jin Jiang, the Minister of Personnel, the Minister of Personnel, the Minister of Pingzhang, and the Minister of the Junior Minister, the Right Pushe, the Procurator of Sikong, the Chief of Runzhou, the Minister of Zhenhai Army, the Minister of Suhangchang and other prefectures, the Secretary of Shangshu Zuo Pushe, the Shangzhu Kingdom, the founding Duke of Xiangyang County, the fief of 2,000 households, the Emperor of Hezhong, the Minister of Jin Jiang, the Minister of Hezhong Jin Jiang, and other envoys.
Just hearing his dazzling series of experiences in office, it is amazing. Moreover, he was also a veteran of three dynasties and once entered the Political Affairs Hall as prime minister. He was a veteran with high qualifications, prestige and age.
Du Shencun, the Duke of Xiangyang County who was newly promoted to the governor of Zhaoyi, is nearly 70 years old, but he is as strong as a middle-aged man in forty years old. He has a tall body, long legs, broad shoulders, flat belly, and thin arms but strong muscles. However, his hair has become a little sparse, and the tied bun looks a little small, but there is no trace of white hair. His beard is full of five long strands of whiskers, which makes him look particularly elegant.
