A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 413 Chang'an
It was almost dusk.

Wu Huaiyu walked out of the imperial city, and at the gate of the imperial city, he saw the left leader Pang Xiaotai, who was on duty in Wei Yi's mansion, wearing a bright light armor over a brocade cloak.

"My little one, please pay respects to Duke Yi."

Pang Xiaotai, who had just been majestic and majestic, was sitting on a small notebook listening to a report from a school captain, when he saw Wu Huaiyu, he immediately got up, showing great respect.

He even nodded and bowed a little obsequiously.

Wu Huaiyu nodded to him, "General Pang is now in command of the left-leading army and guards, the guards and the guards, and the general affairs of the mansion. In the future, you must pay attention to your identity. You are a dignified general."

Pang Xiaotai is still very doggy, "Yi Guogong was also the general of our left leader Wei before. Although he is not in the Weizhong now, he is also our old boss. I am backward in the Weizhong, so naturally I have to respect Yi Guogong."

"Are you still used to this job?"

"It's pretty good. I've been wielding knives and guns since I was a child, and I've been fighting for several years. I'm naturally friendly with the army."

"Yi Guogong, our Emperor Tang Dynasty, the Gyeonggi Guards, are really well equipped, all of them are elite and brave. If we just pull 1000 people over here, we can sweep many streams in Lingnan. Before we stayed in Lingnan, we really watched the sky from the well. Ah, no wonder Feng An is so powerful, but he has always been so respectful to the court."

Pang Xiaotai became the general of Chang'an, and only then did he understand how weak their local barbarians in Lingnan are.

Many Liliaoxi Dongman in Lingnan even hold bronze swords and spears.

At the gate of the imperial city, Wu Huaiyu was unwilling to say anything to the new left leader Wei Zhonglang, after all, there were many people watching every move and every word here.

The left leader Wei Yifu Zhonglang General, although the main commander is Yiwei in his own government, the relatives of the three guards are all chosen by the children of noble officials. It is not only a kind of sex service, but also a way to become an official. Reserve military officer.

Among the twelve guards, only the left and right guards have the three guards of pro-Xunyi, and there are five mansions in total.For the other ten guards, only one Yifu is set up each, and the fourth-rank grandsons, fifth-rank sons, and Shangzhu Guozi are selected to supplement the left and right guards. There are ten guards and four mansions outside Yiwei.

Although the three guards are reserve military officers, their ranks of seven or eight ranks are not related to official positions, but they still enjoy the status of officials, but they don't have salary and can't be directly promoted to other positions. They need to accumulate seniority and then be selected for appointment.

However, in addition to commanding the Yiwei, the children of these noble officials in the mansion, the Zhonglang General of the Yi Mansion also commanded the foreign soldiers who entered the Beijing Fanwei.

The East Palace also has a three-guard system. The left and right ranks each have three guards and three mansions, while the rest of the ranks have no mansions.

It is precisely because the generals and generals in each Yi mansion are only four or five ranks, but they hold the actual military power in Chang'an, so they have always been the focus of supervision by the emperor and the court.

It is actually very taboo for an important minister like Wu Huaiyu to chat with a general in the Yifu like Pang Xiaotai here.

Wu Huaiyu had to remind this kid that he would no longer be the governor of Yinanxuan Tuzhou in the south of the Five Ridges in the future, and he could no longer call himself a running dog of the Wu family, let alone drive Wu Huaiyu's carriage in a purple robe, and run around on the saddle.

Even if I see you here on duty in the future, you shouldn't talk too much.

"Rules are rules, remember, this is Chang'an."

"Chang'an," Pang Xiaotai saw Wu Huaiyu's seriousness, and put away his playful smile. The word Chang'an suddenly became very important in his heart.

But after a while, this guy still patted his chest and said seriously, "Duke Yi, as long as I, Pang Xiaotai, live for a day, I will always be a lackey of Duke Yi, and I will be driven around."

Seeing this Nanman like this, Wu Huaiyu couldn't continue talking, so she could only curse, "Stop talking nonsense, this is Chang'an!"

After speaking, he left on his own.

The carriage drove for a certain distance, but Yu Wencheng, the young man driving the carriage today, did not hear Huaiyu say where he was going, "Ah Lang, where are you going?"

Huaiyu was going to visit a temporary camp for victims of disasters outside the city, but she suddenly lost her mind. It was Chinese New Year and she had been busy all day outside, but she didn't even have much time to spend with her family.

"go home."

The more the Chinese New Year, the more things happen, especially now that the yamen has reopened for office work, there are more things to do, and I have to take time to meet friends, or to meet friends, and I have to take time out of my busy schedule to paint portraits of those heroes. With Sun Wukong's ability, a clone can be transformed by pulling out the hair of a man.

Originally, Xiaoyao wanted to be a nobleman, but now he has no time to spare. At this time, he really wants to learn from Qin Qiong, resign from the pension, or go to Luoyang.

Qin Qiong really asked the emperor to resign and go to Luoyang to replace Qu Tutong as the governor of Luozhou, but Li Shimin refused.

Qin Qiong and Huaiyu recommended Li Daliang as the governor of Yanzhou, but when the procedure was about to be completed, the emperor changed his mind.

Li Daliang was appointed Governor of Liangzhou, Yuwenshi and Diaoyan Prefecture, Duan Zhixuan was appointed Governor of Gyeongju, Governor Yang Gongren of Lingzhou was appointed Governor of Luozhou, and Xue Wanche was re-appointed Governor of Lingzhou.

The position of Jiaozhou governor was vacant for a long time, and it was not discussed again for a while.

Li Shou, the former governor of Sui'an, was just removed, and then Lu Zushang was appointed to go. As a result, he regretted and lost his head, but it is impossible that there has been no chief officer in such an important place.

The emperor first appointed Li Xizhi to return to Guizhou as the governor. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Xizhi recruited troops and bought horses to rule Guizhou for several years. He was very prestigious in the local area. The confrontation between Han and Yue became more and more serious, so Li Xizhi had to be sent there again.

It is said that the emperor discussed with the prime ministers several times about the position of governor of Jiaozhou. The emperor wanted Li Daoyan to be the governor of Minzhou, but he did not get the support of the prime ministers. Tuyuhun has been repelled, so don't touch him.

The emperor also wanted Li Daoxing, Li Daozong's younger brother, to be the governor of Jiaozhou, but he didn't have the skills and qualifications of his brother. He was too young and had no military achievements. Everyone didn't trust him, thinking that he might be another Li Shou and Li Fengci.

The prime ministers are more inclined to send a meritorious official who has rich experience in commanding troops, and preferably also has some experience in civil affairs.

Xiao Yu recommended grandson Shunde, Liu Hongji, Liu Zhenghui, etc., but these veterans of the Supreme Emperor, although they were all granted titles before, were also dealt with by Li Shimin for reasons, and they were dismissed. Restoring the title and conferring official positions, generally speaking, these are not people Li Shimin trusts.

Wei Zheng recommended Hou Junji, thinking that he can fight, and he is also modest and studious. It would be no problem if he serves as the governor of Jiaozhou.

But the problem is that Hou Junji is unwilling to go, and Li Shimin is also unwilling to let this confidant leave.

In the end, it was Qin Qiong who recommended the son of Tan Guogong Qiuhe, the governor of Jizhou, Qiu Xingze. He had served as the governor of Hebei for several years. Whether it is fighting wars to calm chaos, or dealing with the aftermath, administration, finance and taxation, etc., they are still doing well.

Although his personality is a bit domineering, he is a confidant of Prince Qin's mansion after all, regardless of his qualifications or ability, especially his father Qiu and Jiuzhen Jiaozhi, who are very prestigious in the local area. Speaking of Qiu He's name, the local savages are very afraid and respectful .

This time Li Shimin was also more cautious. He specially called Qiu and Qiu Xingze into the palace and asked them about their attitudes. Qiu Xing was willing to go. The emperor asked again the next day and got a definite answer before officially issuing the edict. Qiu Xing was the governor of Jiaozhou and the rank of General Zuo Wuhou.

The Qiu family didn't resist this appointment at all, and were even very happy.

Qiu He had been operating in Jiaozhi for many years. Although he came back, there were still many old disciples there, and many properties were left behind.

Moreover, although the governors of Jiaozhou and Jizhou are both central governors, Jiaozhou is not as rich as Hebei, but under the current circumstances, whoever goes to Jiaozhou will get points from the emperor.

Lu Zushang was afraid that he would not come back after going to Jiaozhou, but Qiu Xing was not afraid. When Qiu He Shangbiao returned to Tang, Li Yuan sent Qiu Xingze as the emperor's envoy to Jiaozhou to welcome Qiu He into the court. There was no adverse reaction at all. I really like Jiaozhou. The Red River Delta Plain in Jiaozhou is bigger and richer than the Pearl River Delta in Guangzhou.

Perhaps it was because the Qiu family and his father agreed very happily, which made Li Shimin very satisfied, so he later appointed Qiu Xinggong as the governor of Xiangzhou, replacing Yu Chigong, who was now expelled from the civil service to reflect at home, to guard Xiangyang.

Qiu Xinggong fell into the sky, and General Zuo Wei became the governor of Xiangzhou.

The family members of the Qiu family are prosperous, and they reconciled with the Qiu family in time, otherwise it would be really troublesome to become rivals.

When the carriage arrived home, An Lushan greeted him at the door.

"Ah Lang, Second Young Master Li is here."

Only after seeing Li De awarding Huaiyu did he realize that he had promised Li Shuang that he would go to see Li Sanniang later in the morning, so he forgot about it when he got busy.

He also thought that the Li De Award came because of Li Sanniang's illness.

"I found Zhang Bi."

"Oh, where?"

Li Dezheng smiled, "Actually, Zhang Bi has been in Chang'an all along, and now he is the commander of the left school office, a small sesame official from the eighth rank."

"Is that the Zhang Bi that Li Daliang is looking for? How could he be an eighth-rank official in the general supervisor?"

"That's right, I've already found out that Zhang Bi is Li Mi's confidant. After the Wagang Wei army was defeated by Wang Shichong, Li Mi rushed west to Chang'an with some cronies to join the Tang Dynasty. Zhang Bi followed him to Beijing at that time, and also granted He became a fourth-rank Zhonglang general. But after staying for a long time, Li Mi felt frustrated, so he rebelled against Tang Dong with Wang Bodang and fled. At that time, his subordinates Jia Runfu and Zhang Bi persuaded him not to leave, but Li Mi refused to listen, Bi Ye had no choice but to follow, but they fled halfway and were intercepted and killed. Li Mi Wang Bodang died, Jia Runfu Zhang Bi and several others were injured and captured.

Later it was found out that Jia Runfu, Zhang Bi and others had tried to persuade Li Mi not to betray the Tang Dynasty, but they only followed because they were loyal to the old master, so the saint did not kill them.

Zhang Bi was relegated to be the governor of the left school office, and he was lowered from the ninth rank.

After working for several years, he was only promoted to the left school office order from the eighth rank. "

Wu Huaiyu was quite surprised, "Li Daliang has been looking for this person, he should know, even if he didn't know that Li Daliang was looking for him, but he had saved Li Daliang back then, and he was still Li Daliang's sworn brother, and he also knew that Li Daliang was a high official, so directly If you ask Li Daliang for help, you won't be a Cong Bapin, right?"

"It's strange to say that this Zhang Bi really knew that Li Daliang had a good career in the imperial court, but he never told others about his relationship with Li Daliang, and he never even mentioned those who were in Wagang. Many officials who will serve as supervisors thought that he was just an ordinary veteran who got such a small official position because of his meritorious service."

Huaiyu smiled, "Zhang Bi and Li Daliang are really similar in character, they are very paranoid in some places, before Li Daliang went to Liangzhou to take up the post of governor, I hurriedly told him about it, so that their brothers will meet again. "
