Chapter six hundred and thirty-ninth catch the prisoner
"Don't alert the enemy first, find out the person behind Lu Wanqing."
Zhao Huan affirmed that Lu Wanqing and Li Wenzheng must have something to do.
Maybe we can find the mysterious Li Wenzheng through Lu Wanqing.
"What should I do with the Liao King?"
"I'm free to arrange it."
"yes!"
Sima Jun really couldn't figure out what the emperor thought.
Even though he knew that Lu Wanqing had a big problem, he would not arrest him now. Should he wait until Li Chongguang was completely indicted before arresting him?
It would be too late!
Li Chongguang's current condition is very dangerous. He has 100,000 Iron Lin Army in his hands. Once he is really instigated, it is likely to cause huge turmoil in Liaodong.
Your Majesty, you are expeditioning the west again, and the Imperial Guards in the capital have only left 30,000.
Can't figure it out!
Sima Junru is definitely a top-notch smart person, but he really can't figure out what Zhao Huan thought.
After Sima Junru received the mission, she secretly returned to Liaodong.
The area where the mouth is unstable now is Liaodong.
Tubo and Longyou were basically settled.
After Sima Junru left, Zhao Huan wrote a letter to Jie Qian, the strategic envoy of Yanyun War Zone.
This letter was written normally, which was to let him train many soldiers in daily life and not to slacke in defense.
After writing the letter to Jie Qian, he wrote a letter to Privy Councilor Zhang Xiaochun, asking him to care more about the situation in the Yanyun War Zone, and the increase in military expenditures should not be reduced.
After staying in Chang'an for a few days, Zhao Huan was not in a hurry to leave.
The war on the Western Front has not yet started, and a large number of baggage troops are still in preparation, so the military situation is not that urgent.
I remember the last time I came to Chang'an, it was more than ten years ago. That time, the Western Army of Shaanxi Road had a traitor, and he came to quell the rebellion in person.
Chang'an City was not like this at that time.
After the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an had already declined, and the main reason was the decline of resources and waterway systems.
In ancient times, when transportation was underdeveloped, the dependence on waterway systems was very high. The canal transportation was affected, and the prices in the capital would be greatly affected.
Under such circumstances, Zhao Kuangyin was forced to settle his capital in a place like Kaifeng that was free of dangers.
But because Zhao Huan has never stopped building roads for more than ten years.
Now Chang'an does not rely on the pitiful waterways at all.
The road leading to the surrounding areas of Chang'an can be said to be well-connected.
It is much more convenient for business travel in Hanzhong to get around than before.
Just say that the highway from Chang'an to Xingqingfu connects Shaanxi Road and He routines, which undoubtedly opens up the northwest veins and allows fresh blood to flow freely.
Moreover, the railway from Tokyo to Chang'an will be repaired in two years.
On this day, Zhao Huan took Han Shizhong and some imperial guards and walked on the streets of Chang'an in plain clothes.
After finally coming here, Zhao Huan still wanted to visit privately in a private place to check the people's feelings in Chang'an. After all, after being in the deep palace for a long time, he was easily disconnected from the people.
The road planning of Chang'an is still along the Chang'an city of the former Tang Dynasty, with square shape and well-connected.
It is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the peach blossoms on the roadside are blooming brilliantly.
However, the people in Chang'an seem to prefer cherry blossoms.
In order to attract customers, some businesses planted a lot of cherry blossoms in front of the store, embracing each other in clusters of pink, which was very beautiful.
Some girls laughed loudly on the streets, but no one thought they were disrespectful. Some even chatted with boys they liked.
This scene made Zhao Huan feel like he had returned to his later generations.
Such a custom is healthy.
Zhao Huan became more and more convinced that the path he was taking was the right one.
What is the difference between Li Wenzheng's mental and verbal communication and freedom and equality and keyboard warriors?
The guys who don’t do practical things can’t understand how much pain and loneliness you have to endure to achieve today’s situation.
Zhao Huan is already forty-two years old, and there are occasionally wrinkles on the corners of his eyes.
But his figure is still as tall as a pine tree, giving people a feeling of power.
Walking with him, others will also be infected and become very energetic.
Han Shizhong noticed a smile on the emperor's face, which was a very satisfying smile.
Han Shizhong said to himself: Seeing the stable life of the people in Chang'an City, Your Majesty seemed very satisfied. Although he was the magistrate of the Nine Five, he could have been glorious and wealthy for a lifetime, but he was worried about the country and the people. He was really a rare good emperor.
Han Shizhong said: "Young Master, I heard that there is an ancient temple called Guanyin Zen Temple in Chang'an City. There is a ginkgo tree in front of the ancient temple, which was planted by Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty."
"Oh?" Zhao Huan suddenly remembered that the ginkgo tree in front of Guanyin Zen Temple could be an internet celebrity tree in later generations.
Many girls go there every year to check in.
Li Shimin never expected that the trees he planted became a beautiful scenery that girls sought after in later generations.
Zhao Huan became interested and said, "Let's go and have a look."
The group arrived at Guanyin Zen Temple. There was indeed a big tree in front of me, almost five hundred years old. In this season, greenness began.
In front is Guanyin Zen Temple, the sound of the ancient temple is quiet and peaceful.
Zhao Huan looked at the tree carefully and imagined the scene of Li Shimin planting trees here back then.
When I look back and go back to Tokyo, I also have to plant one. After a thousand years, I will let them also observe the charm of the trees I planted.
Just as Zhao Huan was thinking shamelessly, some officers and soldiers came to the path of the ancient temple.
As can be seen from their uniforms, it seems to be a constable.
Unlike the officials and the films and TV series in later generations, the real constable in the Song Dynasty had a very low status.
It is not even considered a formal establishment, it is equivalent to a temporary worker in the government.
And the entry threshold is extremely low.
The government needs to do some trivial things all year round. When there is a shortage of manpower, it can only be found from the people quickly.
Therefore, a small official like a constable is indispensable.
But the constables have very low income, so they can only rely on this job to seek personal gain and earn extra money.
During the Shenzong era, reforms were made and salaries were paid to the constables, which slightly alleviated the chaos of the constables, but many people took the back door to serve as constables and maliciously took empty wages.
In the era of Zhao Huan, the imperial court controlled the local governments and carried out detailed assessments to the target responsibility system.
That is, the central government issues tasks every year, and local governments create taxes on their own, and the central government no longer allocates funds at will unless it is a special case.
Local governments are self-sufficient and naturally have control over personnel.
After more than ten years of restructuring, the constable has been assigned to the full-time position, and the chaos has also been greatly reduced.
Those constables were very fast, and they seemed to be here to arrest people.
There was a young monk in front of the ancient temple. The young monk clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, the pure land of Buddhism, what is the donor doing?"
The headmaster said: "We are here to arrest people, and a fugitive escaped here!"
"Donor, if there is a fugitive here, the presidency must have tied him to the government."
"We say that if there are fugitives here, there are fugitives! There is a search warrant issued by the magistrate here!"
After saying that, the captain pushed the little monk away fiercely, and then forcibly broke in.
This aroused Zhao Huan's interest.
This was the first time Zhao Huan saw the constables of the Song Dynasty taking people.
After a while, Zhao Huan heard a fight coming from inside.
Zhao Huan glanced at Han Shizhong and said, "Go in and take a look."
