Di Renjie felt that his brain was not enough.

During the day, some people told him that there were soldiers in trouble, but a total of 100 cavalry. It was not that the soldiers from other places stationed in the suburbs of Beijing went to Chang'an to see the world while on vacation, and it was not that they were drunk and causing trouble, or that there were no fights between three or five, but that the entire 100 cavalry were fully armed.

"Yuan Fang, what do you think?"

Di Renjie rubbed his temples and felt his forehead swelling.

"Cousin, I think there is something strange about this."

Li Yuanfang felt that this matter was abnormal, and that was a monster. Under normal circumstances, who would dare to move troops around? Although there were tens of thousands of internal and external soldiers stationed inside and outside Chang'an City for many years, how many of these soldiers could do it randomly? Not to mention, a total of 100 cavalry actually appeared in Lanxi 80 miles away from Chang'an.

"There must be a huge secret behind this matter."

He had a intuition that this time things were not simple.

"Yuan Fang, do you believe Li Xiao's words? Isn't it possible that he lied about military affairs and had exaggerated words?"

Li Yuanfang shook his head, "Cousin, although I have never seen Li Xiao, I have heard you tell me something about him. Since my cousin has intended to recommend me to his subordinates, he naturally trusts him very much. Li Xiao definitely does not have the courage to lie about military affairs, let alone such a military affairs."

Di Renjie just told Li Yuanfang today that he had found a good way out for him. The court set up a new corn prison, and Li Xiao was the supervisor. There are more than a dozen officials in the corn prison, and they are still repaid now. Di Renjie asked Yan Liben to help arrange for his cousin Li Yuanfang to go in.

Yan Liben did not refuse. Through his own relationship, he had already taken the position of deputy supervisor under the seventh rank for Li Yuanfang.

"If Li Xiao didn't lie about military information, then who would dare to be so bold that he actually transferred a hundred cavalry to rob corn?"

Di Renjie asked this question again.

"I guess my cousin already has some suspects in his heart." Li Yuanfang said. Although the two cousins ​​are nearly ten years apart, their personalities are also very different. Di Renjie is in his early thirties and is meticulous, while Li Yuanfang is just in his twenties, but he grew up in the west of Hexi. He is agile and has excellent martial arts skills, but both brothers are the same smart people.

"Although I thought of something, I'm not sure." Di Renjie shook his head and sighed.

Although there are only one hundred cavalry, there are not many people who can bypass the center, the Ministry of War, and transfer to hundreds of cavalry.

"What should I do now?" Li Yuanfang asked.

"I have reported this to Changshi Yan, and Changshi Yan has also reported to the Political Affairs Hall and His Majesty. How to deal with it depends on the follow-up."

"Just wait for news like this? What if something happens to Lanxi?" Li Yuanfang asked worriedly. Since someone had the idea of ​​sending troops to grab corn seeds, who would guarantee that they would not come once or twice, or that they would be even more humble.

"You can't wait, but it's not convenient for us to take action easily. We have to wait for the news from above." Di Renjie looked at his cousin and smiled, "But although you haven't received the official lawsuit yet, the matter has been decided. You are also a member of the Corn Supervision Bureau and will be Li Xiao's deputy. Corn seeds are of great importance, so you can go to Lanxi first."

Li Yuanfang had been waiting for his cousin's words for a long time and smiled when he heard this.

"I'll go prepare the horse now."

"Get more people and bring all the servants in the family."

Although Di Renjie's hometown is Bingzhou, Hedong, he also has a prefecture in Chang'an. Moreover, as a Chang'an Dharma Cavalry, he still knows many Chang'an Rangers. Before, Li Yuanfang was in charge of his subordinates, and although he had no job, he was quite familiar with these Chang'an Rangers.

Li Yuanfang was Di Renjie's cousin, and was loyal and skilled in martial arts. Naturally, he quickly became famous among the heroes in Chang'an. With a call, although not saying that thousands of troops would meet, it would be fine to greet thirty or fifty people.

"When I arrived at Lanxi, I would like to say hello to Li Xiao on my behalf, so that he could feel at ease. Since that man did not dare to force himself to enter Lizhuang, I don't expect him to have any follow-ups. You go, get along with Li Xiao well and don't underestimate him. Although he is a small landlord in the countryside, Li Xiao is very chivalrous. He was also sixteen years old and walked in Guandong and Jiangnan and other places for five years."

"Don't worry, cousin, I will get along well with him. He will be my immediate boss in the future."

From the border army in Liangzhou, Hexi to the deputy of Chang'an Fa Cao, now he is about to serve in the Sinong Temple. Li Yuanfang is young, but he has rich experience. No matter where he is, he can quickly make a fortune.

Political Affairs Hall.

Although the Tang Dynasty implemented the central system of the three provinces, six ministries, nine temples, five supervisors, and the twelve guards, the Secretary of the Central Committee made decisions, the branch reviewed, and the Shangshu implemented the six ministries as government orders, and the nine temples and five supervisors as affairs agencies, and the twelve guards commanded the troops.

However, in fact, there is a political affairs hall above the three provinces. It was originally in the Menxia Province and later moved to the Zhongshumen. At the beginning, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty was actually the chief of the Three Provinces. Because the Shangshu Ling was served by Li Shimin, he was no longer appointed, so the Shangshu Province was responsible for the two chiefs of the left and right vassals.

In order to coordinate the decision-making and deliberation departments between the three provinces, especially the Secretary of the Central Secretariat and the Secretary of the Sect, to be more efficient, the emperor asked the prime ministers of the Three Provinces to hold office meetings under the Secretary of the Sect. At first, there were only three high-ranking officials, and later the second-ranking officials of the Three Provinces also joined.

Later, the emperor would also allow important officials who were not the three high-ranking officials, such as the Minister of Personnel, the Minister of War, etc. to participate in the meeting, and specially participated in political affairs, and they were the third rank of the Central Secretariat and the Central Secretariat and the Central Secretariat and the Central Secretariat and other titles.

Finally, all those who could participate in the Political Affairs Hall meeting became the actual prime ministers, and the prime minister's team expanded to form a system of mass prime ministers.

At the beginning, although the Political Affairs Hall was a group of members to discuss and work, no one was the chief or the like. Instead, they took turns to preside over the meeting, which was called the Prime Minister holding the pen or holding the pen.

The chief executive of the prime minister mainly includes three items: one is when the prime minister discusses politics, presides over the meeting. The second is to summarize the records after the meeting. The third is to work in the political affairs hall on the day of duty.

At least in Zhenguan, the prime ministers of the Zhengshi Hall, whether they were Pushe, the Zhongshu Ling, the Shizhong, or other officials such as Shangshu to add Pingzhang, actually had the same status in the Zhengshi Hall, and no one was higher or lower. Although each had his own officials, the official was only responsible for his own duties outside the Zhengshi Hall. In the Zhengshi Hall, everyone still had the same status, each person, one vote.

The Prime Minister's Office Meeting in the Political Affairs Hall is to put it bluntly similar to the Standing Committee, but there is no secretary. At least there was no one at the beginning. Even the one who was the turn to hold the writing was just to preside over the meeting, record, and on duty.

But when Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, Changsun Wuji was a minister of his life and the uncle who protected the emperor, so he naturally received special trust. The emperor specially added him the title of presided over the government affairs. This was unique among the prime ministers. Therefore, over the past few years, Changsun Wuji actually became the secretary in the Political Affairs Hall and the chief prime minister.

However, now, Li Ji has also won the title of presidency of the government affairs. In this way, there are two secretaries in the Political Affairs Hall. Although the Political Affairs Hall still uses the arrangement of taking turns to hold the pen, there are two general directors under the presidency.

The Zhengshi Hall is located in the Secretariat. In the incarnation of the Central Secretariat, the Zhengshi Hall is divided into two parts: the main hall and the backyard. The Zhengshi Hall is the office and the conference hall of the prime ministers, and the backyard is the secretariat of the Zhengshi Hall, which is divided into five-bedroom offices, including the official room, the cardinal room, the military room, the household room and the punishment ceremony room.

Such a political affairs hall is no longer just a meeting of prime ministers, but a real official and most powerful organization in the Tang Dynasty.

Yan Liben's report was delivered layer by layer and was soon delivered to the military room.

When the officers in the military room received the report, they were also very amazed.

"What's wrong?" asked an official next to him.

"This is a big deal in Lantian County. Another urgent report has been reported. The Chief of Yongzhou Yan Liben said that the Lantian County Magistrate reported that Li Xiaozhai, the newly appointed corn prisoner in Lanxi Township, was besieged by more than a hundred cavalry."

"Hundreds of cavalry besieged Li Xiao, a home in Lantian County, Corn Supervisor? It's really strange. I just received a report here, saying that some villagers reported that the new Corn Supervisor Li Xiao summoned the villagers, which looked like a riot."

Another official also said, "I have an urgent report, saying that Lantian County Magistrate Liu Qing suddenly forced the recruitment of powerful men in the county, which was suspected of being a riot."

"Also, there are urgent reports that Zuowei Lanxi Zhechong Mansion summoned soldiers in the mansion to distribute equipment and leave the camp with full arms."

Several military officials from the capital were paired up there and felt that they were too big.

There are many things that disappear. Sometimes it is said that Lanxi was besieged by an unknown cavalry, sometimes it is said that Li Xiaoxiao gathered in the villagers, sometimes it is said that Lantian County Magistrate was forcibly recruiting the people and strong men, and sometimes it is said that Lanxi's left guard Zhechong Mansion was in conflict with no orders. They were not sure what was going on.

"Lantian is the southwest gateway of Guanzhong, only 80 miles away from Chang'an. It's very chaotic. Hurry up and report to my husband to write."

"Which husband was the one who held the writing today?"

"Captain Chu."

Today, it was Chu Suiliang's turn to take the writing. Apart from him, there were no other prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall at this time. In addition to discussing affairs, the prime ministers also had to work in their own offices at other times. After all, they also had their own duties. For example, Chu Suiliang's job was the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, Yu Zhining was the Minister of the Ministry of War, Cui Dunli was the Minister of War, and Li Yifu was the Minister of Personnel.

After the court meeting every day, the prime ministers would first meet at the Zhengshu's Political Affairs Hall, and after the meeting, they would go back to their offices to work, while the husband who was writing stayed behind to stay in the Zhengshu Hall.

Sitting in his public room, Chu Suiliang was a little absent-minded. He was unwilling to handle official documents and memorials. He took out a piece of jute paper and prepared to write a pair of words to calm down.

But after dipping it ink, I picked up the pen, but I was distracted. When I came to my senses, I found that several drops of ink had been dripped from the best white hemp paper.

"Chao Xiang."

An official called him softly, "There is an emergency official document, something big happened in Lantian County."
