The court affairs were not qualified to interrupt the concubines. However, Xu Qilin was a little special, so His Majesty Li Er would tell Xu Hui.

But Xu Hui understood that this was not asking for her opinion, but respect for her. His Majesty Li Er certainly hoped that he would make a decision and get Xu Hui's support and cooperation, although he said that he had not made a decision yet.

Xu Hui was arrogant because of favor and interfering in politics in the harem. How could Xu Hui make such a mistake? Although she refused to give up her younger brother to the bitter and cold place in Hexi, she knew very well that she was unable to change what His Majesty decided.

Instead of risking the danger of violating His Majesty, it is better to take a step back, not object or agree, and let me make the decision by myself.

Regarding Xu Hui's concern, His Majesty Li Er smiled and hugged his beloved concubine, saying, "How can there be war in Hexi? There are heavy troops stationed at Yumen Pass. I will conquer Gaochang this year, and it is very safe there."

After pausing, he added: "If Hexi is unstable, I will not think about sending Qi Lin to manage it."

"He really has that ability?" Xu Hui expressed doubts. "Although Dayingku is well-managed, it is a businessman's behavior. He has no experience in governing the place, right?"

"If I send him there, I will arrange for the officials, such as case review, tax collection and other matters, and he will not need to do it himself." His Majesty Li Er explained: "Well, wait until I ask Qi Lin to make an announcement and discuss it with the ministers before the decision can be made."

Xu Hui was silent for a moment and nodded helplessly.

…………………

From the Kucheng of the Royal Inner Palace to the officials who governed the local government, Xu Qilin was also confused and seriously considered it.

It will take at least two or three years to make achievements in Hexi. Xu Qilin was not embarrassed after being away from home for such a long time, and was even somewhat grateful to be able to leave Chang'an, a deep pool.

According to the historical trajectory, it was only four years before the rebellion of King Li You of Qi in the 17th year of Zhenguan and Li Chengqian rebelled. Logically speaking, these four years should have been calm and relatively safe.

But Xu Qilin knew that undercurrents were surging in the capital. King Li You of Qi was recuperating in the capital. He was persuaded by his uncle Yin Hongzhi and began to recruit heroes to defend himself.

Li Chengqian did his own thing and continued to commit suicide. Can his behavior escape the eyes of His Majesty Li Er? It's ridiculous and childish.

When Li Sipang finished compiling the "Guodizhi" and was rewarded by His Majesty Li Er, even exceeding the standard of the prince, it would stir up Li Chengqian's fragile nerves.

It is estimated that Li Chengqian also knew that his actions were too ridiculous, and he was criticized by his ministers and had a bad reputation. The father did not say anything, but he meant to be easy to save money.

Therefore, even if Li Tai did not show his desire to compete for the crown prince, he would take risks if he felt hopeless of the throne.

In the past few years, the court officials would have their own subjects and secretly complained about the lame prince Li Chengqian's loss of virtue and favor, and the liking of the kings Li Si's fat rank was super rank.

Xu Qilin took the team to Li Sipang, but did not reveal anything on the surface. He just made plans to increase political capital for Li Sipang.

After leaving Chang'an, Xu Qilin was able to escape and watch the dramas of fighting for power and profit in a cold manner.

Perhaps this is also His Majesty Li Er's thought. He first served in the inner government and then managed the local area, so he did not want Xu Qilin to approach the court too early.

This is a kind of protection, a kind of cultivation and investigation. In terms of age, when Xu Qilin was in his seventies or eighty years old, the elders in the court were probably old and sick. That was the good time to enter the court.

Moreover, Xu Qilin feels that he is more free in the local area. It is also very arrogant to think about it.

As for the Tang Dynasty, don’t you go around the southeast, northwest and north to see the undestroyed environment. It seems like a little waste of time to take a few more air without pollution?

Although Xu Qilin didn't know whether His Majesty Li Er decided, he began to make some arrangements. The main reason was the division of labor and personnel arrangements of Dayingku. He didn't think of remote control and command, but there were people who could do things, and maybe they would be worth it in the future!

As for Helan Chushi, Xu Qilin didn't think that he could be promoted after he left. He couldn't do it from ability to qualifications.

What's more, according to convention, if he wants to leave office, he may be asked by His Majesty Li Er to designate the official to take over. It doesn't matter if the grade is low, and Daying Kukucheng should not have reached the fifth rank.

In such an irresistible state, His Majesty Li Er's decree arrived and asked him to write a detailed report about Hexi.

Xu Qilin didn't expect it to be so soon. It seems that His Majesty Li Er is indeed going to send himself to Hexi.

Well, Xu Qilin did not delay, wrote down everything he thought of and clearly pointed out that Ganzhou he was optimistic about, calling it "the fate of Hexi depends on Ganzhou."

Ganzhou is Zhangye. It seems like a flaw that there are many places and few people, but it is a good foundation and will develop quickly. Of course, Xu Qilin has to find such a place to see the results as soon as possible.

As for people, His Majesty Li Er will find a way. Whether it is sending troops to camp, exile prisoners, or recruiting immigrants, what the emperor wants to do, it is not easy.

…………………

The imperial court issued an order, and Taoism was established as the national religion.

This is normal. The old Li family brought Li Er out as their ancestor and could not move Taoism to the top, which is too unreasonable.

In fact, Taoism is regarded as the state religion and does not have much effect or influence on Buddhism. It’s just that Taoism has a higher status than Buddhism in name.

But Buddhism and Taoism have been fighting each other for hundreds of years, and they have been overwhelmed by Taoism at once. Even in name, it is difficult for monks to accept.

If you don’t want to accept it, you have to endure it. Who makes this the emperor who has more power and majesty than the Taoist ancestor and the Buddha?

But some people don’t believe in evil and even challenge the emperor. To be precise, they want to change their ancestors to the emperor and thus break the foundation for the enfeoffment of Taoism as the national religion.

This person who does not believe in evil is a monk, whose Dharma name is Falin. He once confronted Fu Yi, an anti-Buddhist fighter, and wrote the "Discussion on the Righteousness".

Falin's idea is also very strange, and she really wants to start from the fundamental point. Didn't the old Li family regard Li Er as their ancestor? Everyone knows that this is not very reliable, but he is the emperor. You are suspicious in your heart, but you can't doubt it in your mouth.

But the old monk Falin dared to speak out. He said that after research, the ancestors of your Li family were not Li Er, or even Han people, but foreigners, noble people in Yinshan, and were called the Daya clan.

The noble seed of Yinshan? Ono Da clan? Xu Qilin laughed at such a strange name.

This old monk is tired of living, so he actually found His Majesty Li Er's ancestor of the Hun Turkic species. His Majesty Li Er's bloodline is not pure, but who dares to say it? You are awesome, you are so awesome.

"Falin is going to suffer, and may be involved in the monk." Xu Qiqiu will set off tomorrow and rushed to Xiangzhou with his wife. He made an assertion during his night talk with his brother.

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "This old monk really can't see the situation clearly. Since the Northern Wei Dynasty, no emperor has said that he is a Hu man and tried his best to lean on the Han man. He is better, he dares to slander the royal family like this."

Buddhism was introduced to China from the Han Dynasty and its development was not smooth. It was not until the Five Barbarians Dynasty that it turned over. Because Buddhism is the Hu religion, the Hu people believe in Hu religion without psychological resistance.

Therefore, it was only allowed to believe in Buddhism since the Five Barbarians' Dynasty. In the past, Buddhism only allowed the Hu people who came to China to believe, and Han people were not allowed to become monks. The one who set this precedent was Shi Hu, the tyrant of the Later Zhao, who was famous for massacring the cruel Han people. He clearly positioned himself as the Hu people.

When Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, this monarch with great talent and strategy had the ambition to unify the world.

But if he wanted to rule the entire emperor of China, which was dominated by Han nationality, he had to show that he was not "Hu" and advocate Confucianism and Taoism tout himself.

Therefore, Emperor Taiwu of Wei shouted "I am not the Five Barbarians" and launched the first movement to destroy Buddhism in history.

Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou Dynasty was similar to Emperor Taiwu of the Buddha's destruction. Emperor Wu of Zhou also said that he was not among the Five Barbarians, so he had no intention of respecting the Buddha.

After these two campaigns of Buddhist elimination and destruction, it seemed that the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism had cast a political problem. Belief in Buddhism means abandoning the orthodox Chinese cultural orthodox, while choosing Taoism means the sinicization of alien monarchs.

Of course, this is not absolute. For example, the destruction of Buddha occurred in the Northern Dynasties ruled by foreign races, and the extreme Buddhist singular Buddhism happened to be the Xiao family of the Southern Dynasties of orthodox Han civilization.

Regardless of whether the political color of the dispute over Buddhism and Taoism was weak in the Tang Dynasty, it is absolutely unforgivable to call His Majesty Li Er's ancestors a Hu person.

Xu Qiqi shook his head and said, "When he saw Taoism become a national religion, Falin should be furious and fainted."

Xu Qilin still smiled maliciously. Hexi development is about to be developed, and His Majesty Li Er does not take this opportunity to attack, that is not the emperor's supposed thinking.

Of course, as an excellent politician, His Majesty Li Er will inevitably adopt very flexible means without being too harsh.

Even if the national laws are used, monks have many disadvantages and are not guilty of being charged.

For example, if you investigate the number of monks, nuns, slaves, and property to which the temples and their affiliated monks, nuns, slaves, and property are established, you must receive precepts in the state-recognized precepts, and those who have no covenant certificates must return to secular life, etc.

In this way, the impact on society will be minimal. Eliminate Buddha and destroy Buddha can be called a gentle rectification method.

Rectification is a good way. Whether it is Taoism, Buddhism, government agencies, or ruling order, if there is any problem, it must be rectified and the waste must be removed and the essence must be retained.

"I don't know when I will return to Xiangzhou for my brother. I will ask you to worry more about family affairs and my younger sister." Xu Qiqiu left the monk's topic and began to remind me.

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry."

He said this, but Xu Qilin muttered in his heart: Maybe he would go far away, he would go even further than you!

In fact, Xu Qilin also thought about it. Apart from her younger sister, there was nothing worth worrying about at home.

What kind of shops or workshops do as usual? Whoever dares to take over will be robbed is that he has no backing or friends who can be entrusted with help.

Xu Qilin was also thinking about inviting Chen Laocai to take charge. He was already a relative and could trust him.

"My friend gave me a farewell party yesterday and also talked about Dayingku." Xu Qiqiu said in a deep thought: "If you have the opportunity to transfer to another position, Qi Lin can think more."

Xu Qilin smiled and knew that some scholars despise business and make money. You look down on me, but I look down on you!

You can pretend to be noble, and you don’t have to take the imperial examination to get fame and fortune. I am much better than you, a fifth-rank official and a county vixen. I’m talking about it behind my back, just envy and jealousy and red-eye disease.

Of course, Xu Qilin didn't argue with his brother about this, and he casually said a few words. I guess he also had this idea, thinking that studying for the imperial examination is the right way.

"Brother came to Xiangzhou and bought a house to settle down. There is no need to make a calculation about buying a house. You can take care of yourself." Xu Qilin said: "I'm taking my sister-in-law with me, don't settle it."

If you have money, you have money. They were all replaced by Jin Ying and Yin Bianzi, and a few reliable servants from the family were sent to serve. It would be great if you had silver notes. For this reason, Xu Qilin even complained.

Xu Qiqi nodded, smiled with some self-deprecating smile, and said, "Qi Lin is good at dancing. Although he doesn't know the details of his brother, he also knows that his family is now well-off and can easily take out 18,000 guan."

What’s the point of being eight thousand guan? I guess we have to have a net worth…

Xu Qilin scratched his head, but he really didn't know the exact number. He deserved it and had to ask Scarlett if he took the time. Xiao Zhao probably knew it more in detail than he did.

"Your sister-in-law's house should take care of you." Xu Qiqiu thought for a while and said, "I heard that what cotton you will grow this year, the government has to agree that you should not cause any trouble."

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "I will do it right away, just because I am trying it in Guanzhong. There is no problem with Your Majesty. As a local official, it is even more relaxed."

"Your Majesty has to go through to grow cotton?" Xu Qiqi asked in a little confused and said, "Is it necessary to mobilize such a large number of troops?"

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Brother doesn't know. This cotton is not only planted by Chen's family, but also in our house. How many acres of planted and how much should be paid for rent and transferred, we can use money to pay. But when the cotton harvests, we can earn more than twice the profit."

Xu Qiqiu didn't understand very well, but my brother's methods seemed to have not failed. He said he could make money, so he would definitely be inseparable. His own family, along with his father-in-law's family, would have increased income, which would naturally be a good thing.

As for Shangda Tianting, Xu Qiqiu believed it. I entered the palace every few days, which shows that His Majesty’s favor was not because of his sister’s favor.

It took me less than a year from my white body to the fifth rank, and the title of county magistrate. Xu Qiqiu didn't know much about his achievements.

It seems that only the reform of the Cao government is eye-catching, and the rest are all objects with strange and erotic skills, such as mirrors.

Could it be that the advice was deeply loved by His Majesty but was not known to the outside world? Xu Qiqi looked at his younger brother and made some random guesses.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Qilin stood up and said, "Brother, I'll have to go on a journey tomorrow!"

Xu Qiqi put away his chaotic thoughts and stood up to send me out.

One night before leaving, Xu Qilin and Xiao Zhao stayed in the old house and were preparing to see off for their brother tomorrow morning.

Several of the Chen family also came, and they were also preparing to see off their relatives. This old house was already Xu Qiqiu, and after Xu Qiqiu left, he was also handed over to the Chen family to take care of.

Xu Qilin had already looked for a house in the city, but he was going out again, so hesitated whether to buy it immediately.
