Chapter 680 Qing Ming
"The envoy of Sichuan and Shanxi Xuanfu?"

In the courtroom, Jiang Chun held his teacup and murmured.

During the Chengping period of the Song Dynasty, Guanlong was called "Shaanxi Road", which was later divided into "Qinfeng Road" and "Yongxing Army Road". Qinfeng Road refers to Qinzhou and Fengxiang, which are all Longxi regions in the territory of the Song Dynasty.

This happened 130 years ago, and the word Shaanxi sounds so far away.

After Zhang Jun and Zhao Ding, no one has served as the envoy of Sichuan and Shanxi Xuanfu in a hundred years.

It is inevitable that people will be a little dazed.

Jiang Chun then asked: "What does Mr. Han mean, Li Jieshuai wants to take back the Yongxing Army Road?"

Han Chengxu didn't intend to tell Jiang Chun that Guanzhong had been recovered. Li Xia needed time to control Guanlong first, otherwise Song Ting would definitely send troops.

He stroked his beard and said, "Now Alang is already trying to persuade Liu Heima to join him. If this can be done, Guanzhong may return to my Da Song rule. However, Alang does not have enough power to convince Liu Heima."

Jiang Chun asked: "Does the court need to send important officials again..."

"No." Han Chengxu said solemnly, "Don't forget that Meng Gong's surrender of Fan Yongji and Wang Shixian's request to Zhao Yanna for attachment, once the court interferes, what should we do if the success falls short?"

"That's true, Li Jieshuai has reason to be scrupulous."

What Jiang Chun said was not sincere, but he also understood the reason behind it.

Twenty or thirty years ago, no one in the whole court thought that it was wrong to reject the attachment of warlords like Fan Yongji and Wang Shixian. If the troubles were like Li Quanzhi's rebellion, everyone would feel tired.

Who would have thought that the Mongols could use these warlord soldiers and horses to invade the land of Song Dynasty, killing them until blood flowed like rivers, and killing thousands of people in the land of Shu without even one out of ten.

Looking back at the decision back then...it was outrageously stupid.

"It means that only Li Jieshuai and Liu Heima will discuss?"

"Liu Heima only trusts A Lang."

Jiang Chundao: "But Li Jieshuai doesn't have enough authority..."

Han Chengxu stroked his beard with a smile and said: "Therefore, it is necessary to seek the post of Xuanfu Disposal Envoy of Sichuan and Shanxi. Alang is definitely not for personal power, but for national affairs."

"Mr. Han also knows that after Jianyan, there was the post of Xuanfu Disposal Envoy of Sichuan and Shanxi. Before Zhang Jun and Zhao Ding took up this post, they both knew about the affairs of the Privy Council and were important ministers... As for Li Jieshuai, he is only 20 years old this year, right? "

"Do you ask about your background in troubled times?" Han Chengxu patted his knees and said, "Of course, this matter is not easy to plan. Therefore, we must ask Jiang Zhifu to help a group in the court."

"This..." Jiang Chun wondered, "I am humble..."

"You might as well tell the magistrate Jiang that Guan De, the official's personal servant, is a member of Alang."

Jiang Chun was surprised, but also overjoyed.

"real?!"

Han Chengxu beckoned, and Jiang Chun rushed forward.

"When you arrive in Lin'an, go to Fenglian Tower for small matters, and find Mama Hu, she will send someone to the palace to send a message to Guan De; if there is a major matter, ask Madam to go to the eldest princess's mansion..."

Jiang Chun nodded repeatedly.

Han Chengxu explained again: "If the official family calls you, you just need to say... Li Jieshuai wants to welcome the official family back to the old capital, and become the king with the most prosperous Wenzhi and martial arts in the Song Dynasty."

"If that's the case, the matter may be sure, and uncle Mou, my wife, has recovered..."

"No." Han Chengxu shook his head and said, "There's no need to talk to Duke Mou."

……

Li Xia's political opponent has never been the figurative Jia Sidao, but anyone who is at the center of power.

The essence of this matter is that the feudal town is decentralizing power from the center.

Whether it's Mou Zicai, Ye Mengding, Yang Dong, Rao Huchen, Cheng Yuanfeng, or Jia Sidao, whoever holds the power of the center is Li Xia's enemy!

It has nothing to do with loyalty, character, and friendship.

Power is water, when it flows to one end of the scale, the person at the other end becomes an enemy in an instant.

It is difficult for Han Chengxu to describe this delicate relationship to Jiang Chun, so it is impossible to say who is the enemy and who is the friend in this plan.

If you think that "Jia Sidao is an enemy and Mou Zi is a friend", then it is too naive in the officialdom.

After thinking about it, Han Chengxu said: "Alang is appointed as the Xuanfu envoy of Sichuan and Shanxi. Someone will benefit, and those who benefit will help us. But we must beware of those who oppose this matter in the court."

Jiang Chun opened his mouth, only then did he realize how difficult it was for him to get this done.

No wonder Li Xia didn't send a letter directly to Guan De.

To find this official position, one needs to grasp the warmth and warmth of the people in Lin'an officialdom, and in the court, the gains and losses of interests will change in an instant.

Therefore, a person who is well versed in officialdom is needed to plan.

"The 20-year-old Sichuan-Shaanxi Propaganda Disposal Envoy... has twice the power of Sichuan and Sichuan. If I come to handle this matter, I'm afraid..."

When Jiang Chun opened his mouth, Han Chengxu knew he was aware of the difficulty.

It's only been a few years, and it still needs to fight with Song Ting like this.

Song Ting is not stupid, and soon someone will realize that there are only a few years left to suppress Li Xia.

There was really no one available, so I handed over this matter to Jiang Chun...

Han Chengxu sighed imperceptibly, and said: "Prefect Jiang, don't worry, we will let Jiang Fan go to Lin'an with you. If you need to inquire and contact, he will take care of it for you."

"Ginger rice?"

Han Chengxu nodded, and said again: "This time, not only will the official positions of Sichuan-Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Envoy be taken down, but there will also be important positions such as Yunnan Appeasement System Envoy and Zhoulu Appeasement Envoy. Waiting for Alang to take down Guanzhong, but There are a large number of high-ranking positions waiting for Jiang Zhifu."

Jiang Chun was startled again, and opened his mouth.

Four years ago, he was just a small county magistrate, and he met Li Xia, a county lieutenant... Han Chengxu was still a prisoner from the north.

In a blink of an eye, all the people who opened their mouths were talking about such high-ranking officials as the Disposal Envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi and the Envoy of Yunnan.

What about yourself?If he can get a governor of Chang'an, isn't there still a possibility of worshiping the prime minister?
"Prefect Jiang, no, Jiang Shaoqing, this is the court's approval letter after Alang recommended Jiang Shilang. Alang's capture of Longxi should be done for you, the old man."

Han Chengxu turned around, picked up an official document, and handed it to Jiang Chun.

"Scholar directly from Baozhangge, Taichang Shaoqing, serving the censor in the palace, and also serving in the affairs... the servants are around the official's house, preparing consultants to deal with them, participating in political affairs, and serving in the palace as deacons."

Jiang Chun shuddered, not daring to blame Han Chengxu for taking out this batch of documents at this time.

He only felt that the official career in front of him suddenly became clear.

……

That night, when he stayed at the official post in Hanzhong City, Jiang Chun still hadn't recovered from his senses.

Mou Zhu brought him water to wash his feet, and sat on the side chatting endlessly.

After a while, Jiang Chun asked, "What did you just say?"

"You said that your daughter wanted to stay in Li Jieshuai's shogunate to work. The girl Qiao'er happily agreed, saying that she was going to tell Han Qi'an that Mrs. Li also wanted to keep Di'er... Call Di'er in and give him a beating?"

"A beating?"

"Officer! Are you listening to my concubine?!"

Jiang Chun was taken aback, and murmured: "I'm going back to court soon, so it's okay to let her stay with her adoptive father..."

"Which foster father?"

"Since Qiao'er is my adopted daughter, Di'er and Cang'er should also be Yining's adopted daughters and adopted sons."

"Officer, are you crazy? When we return to the court, we don't take our daughter with us, and let a little daughter go out alone, how decent..."

"You don't understand." Jiang Chun emphasized his tone, and said, "I will go back to the imperial court, at most a year, and after returning to Guanzhong, I want to seek the post of Governor of Chang'an. What is my daughter's family traveling hard with me? Why don't you live in sojourn?" At the adoptive father's house... Let me just say, how can you leave such an important matter to me..."

"What are the officials saying?"

"My wife, you are going to become a great success..."

~~
The next day, Li Zhaocheng was about to leave for Chang'an.

He brought a lot of manpower and supplies this trip, and the team lined up for a whole mile.

But after all, he was too young to do anything, most of these were arranged by Hao Xiuyang.

Besides, Li Zhaocheng is newly married, and he doesn't know many things that happened in Hanzhong City recently, so he took Shi's family to the carriage and arrived outside the city.

For example, there are many Miao soldiers among them, and it is unknown when they entered the city.

He settled his wife and family, and walked to Hao Xiuyang's carriage. When he lifted the curtain, he saw Hao Xiuyang talking to a woman in black. Li Zhaocheng was startled, and quickly put down the curtain again.

"What are you panicking about?" Hao Xiuyang said, "How old are the old Taoists?"

Only then did Li Zhaocheng lift the curtain again, and when he saw that Asha, he was a little afraid of her, and hurriedly bowed again, saying, "I don't know when Tong Si came?"

Asha ignored him.

Hao Xiuyang stroked his beard and said, "I have been in Hanzhong for more than ten days, what do you know... By the way, you know how to do this trip?"

"Mr. Han explained to me." Li Zhaocheng replied.

He already wanted to understand what Han Chengxu said, and what he had to do next was still "repair internally and fight externally", but the fight outside was changed to competing for profit with Song Ting.

And what he has to do is to help Li Xia fight for power in Guanlong.Marriage is to win over the forces of Guanlong, this one; after going to Longxi with his father, it is to stabilize Longxi, this second; the rest is to bring some words to Li Xia.

Seeing that Li Zhaocheng understood, Hao Xiuyang nodded and said, "Let's go."

The carriage started slowly.

They were going to take Chencang Road, which was the farthest but the flattest road.

"I'm old, I'm old, I really want to live forever."

Hao Xiuyang leaned in the carriage, and asked Asha, "Do you know why the old man made this trip?"

Asha shook her head, expressing that she didn't want to know.

"Old Taoist, I want to take a trip to Mount Zhongnan, convince the Quanzhen Sect, and find a few more disciples by my side."

It's not that he doesn't have disciples, during this period of time, he has accepted many disciples, but none of them are satisfied with their talents.

Asha was not interested in these things, and only listened to the old Taoist chanting.

"Also, Chen Cang Road is far away from Chang'an. The old Taoist has to make more gunpowder for the commander to repair Tangluo Road and Ziwu Road. There are thousands of strands..."

Hao Xiuyang talked for a long time, and realized that the people on the same ride were not listening at all, so he talked about things related to her.

"You, you said that the commander is the King of Pluto. How do you say this? The people in the southern border believe this, and the old way knows those mountain people. But I'm afraid you don't understand the ability of the commander."

Asha finally turned around.

Hao Xiuyang said: "Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, his father was called Tai Gong, and his mother was named Liu Nai. Liu Nai once rested on the embankment of Daze, and dreamed of meeting with gods. At that time, the thunder and lightning were dark, and Tai Gong looked over, and saw a dragon lying on top of Liu Nai. And conceived, and then gave birth to Gaozu."

Asha felt more and more at a loss.

"Don't worry, listen to the old Taoist in detail." Hao Xiuyang said again: "Emperor Liu Song Gaozu Wu, born at night, has the difference of divine light. It was the evening, and the nectar fell on the tomb tree; Emperor Gaozu Wen of the Sui Dynasty, was born purple The courtyard is full of air, with a long dragon's jaw, five pillars on the forehead, and the eyes shoot out. There is a pattern on the hand as the word "king". Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, when he was born, there were two dragons playing outside the gate of the pavilion, and he left in three days. ... All of this is a vision once seen in hundreds of years.

The same is true for the handsome man who attracts the soul.It's ridiculous that you, a Miao woman in southern Xinjiang, don't know the appearance of dragons and phoenixes, the appearance of the sun and the moon.The so-called Pluto is not the underworld of "Hades", but the underworld of "Qingming", "according to Qingming, the rainbow is drawn, and then suddenly touches the sky", do you understand?He is the son of heaven. "

Asha finally spoke and asked, "What does the old priest want to say?"

Hao Xiuyang closed his eyes and did not answer. He tapped on the wall of the room with his fingers, meditating.

He has been in the Southwest for a long time, and he understands the set of Nanman beliefs, psychics, worshiping mountain ghosts, which were useful when conquering southern Xinjiang, but they are not very useful now.

Getting old, he wants to use Li Xia's power and ambition to construct a magnificent mythology system before he dies, which will include Taoism in the North and South, Buddhism in the Western Regions, gods and ghosts in the southern border, and the Longevity Heaven believed by the Mongols. go in.

"Asha, you have to help the old Taoist leader, and you are also the Pluto who will help you... No, not the Pluto, but the son of Qing Mingtian..."

~~
"Qing Mingtian?"

More than twenty days later, Chang'an government office.

Li Xia asked back, obviously not very interested.

He knows that superstition is very useful to people in this era, but it has always been difficult to substitute.

In other words, no matter how much he imagined, how much influence superstition had on the people of the world, he underestimated it.

Today, shamans in Mongolia, Tongsi in southern Xinjiang, and monks in Tubo are existences that are more sacred than imperial power.

Under such emotions, Li Xia didn't take it seriously, but he couldn't say anything against it.In my lifetime, can Mongolia and Tubo no longer be superstitious?

"Understood, you can figure it out."

He answered the first sentence, and added another sentence at the end.

"Daoist Hao, don't delay the work of craftsmanship."

Hao Xiuyang was a little disappointed, and said: "The Commander already has tens of thousands of Mongolian captives, right? Let the old Taoist make them truly believe in the Commander, how about it? The Taoist has been studying the rise of Temujin a lot lately, and it is related to the shaman leader Tebten Geli', that is, 'Tongtian Wu' has a major relationship, and the name of Genghis Khan was also proposed by Shamanism..."

Li Xia smiled, raised her hand, and interrupted Hao Xiuyang.

"Understood, Daoist Hao is going to do it. I just want the result, and I want a Mongolian cavalry soldier who will trust me among the captives. How long will it take to get the result?"

Hao Xiuyang stroked his beard and said, "To accomplish this, the old Taoist must go to Zhongnan Mountain."

"Okay." Li Xia said bluntly, "I will send Liu Jinsuo to lead the troops to follow the Taoist leader."

Hao Xiuyang couldn't help smiling. Although he was a little disappointed by Li Xia's indifferent attitude, he got what he wanted.

For him, this matter has a lot to do.

"Thank you, Marshal, this is also to recruit more disciples and promote the craftsmanship that Marshal wants."

"The Taoist priest can just grasp the propriety, you know what I want more."

Li Xia had already put on some majestic posture, and said again: "It is very good that you are able to make gunpowder, study medical skills, develop crafts, and stabilize the world, but don't learn Quanzhen teaching, too much is not enough."

He was rarely so strict with Hao Xiuyang...

Looking at the past, the Central Plains and Jiangnan are actually better, and the world is more enlightened.But it is different outside the Great Wall. Even Genghis Khan had to use Shamanism and Quanzhenism successively, while Meng Ge and Kublai Khan used the Sakya Sect to bring Tubo into the Mongolian territory.

Li Xia had to do the same, and he didn't want to lose these places in the future.But theocracy is the shackles he wants to break, and it needs hundreds of years of education... In short, he has an attitude of using and suppressing from the beginning, and the ugly words must be said first.

Hao Xiuyang's heart trembled, and he replied: "The old man understands."

"The Taoist is tired all the way, please go and rest first."

Li Xia watched Hao Xiuyang off, closed his eyes and thought about it.

Although he is not interested in this matter, it has a lot to do with it. It involves the mentality of almost all the Mongolian captives after they surrendered, it also involves the public opinion in the land under his rule, and it even involves the future.

But it's just handed over to Hao Xiuyang and Asha, and he doesn't need to do it himself.

Hao Xiuyang really wanted to help him, but he also had the ambition to revitalize the Taoist sect. On the contrary, Asha was more pure...

After thinking about it, Li Xia opened his eyes and continued to bury his head in the paperwork to make his strategy for the next stage.

Pick up a pen and write down the sentence "digesting the Mongolian captives" after the line-by-line plan.

His strategy, internal cultivation is always those.

As for the foreign disturbance, if it is said that it was "taken" from Kublai Khan when he was surrounded by enemies.The next thing to do is to guard, to guard the present achievement from the hands of the central hub, so that we can cultivate with peace of mind until Kublai Khan turns around...

~~
At the same time, Ximu is so stupid.

On the vast grassland, 15 cavalry troops have lined up and confronted [-] troops, forming a magnificent scene.

In front of the formation of the two sides, each of them held up high the nine-folded white banner that symbolized the Mongolian Khan.The shamans are already offering sacrifices to the heavens, proclaiming that their respective sweats are ordered by the heaven of longevity.

This will be the real decisive battle between Kublai Khan and Brother Ali...
