A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 48
"Wu Erlang is indeed a son of a high-ranking man. He is very good. All the doctors before me could not cure him. Finally, he woke up and realized that the ginseng tea and ginseng soup that my concubine had been giving me all the time, so His Highness sent a famous doctor to prescribe it. The prescriptions are not effective."

Qin Qiong was very happy today, and returned to the crowd, especially the sixteen-character mantra Wu Huaiyu gave him, which made him let go of the burden in his heart.

Everyone was amazed, as an honorable minister, no one was short of such things as ginseng and deer patch, and they might even make up for it frequently, who knew that ginseng would make up for it.

"Fortunately, I met this Wu Erlang, otherwise I would be so confused that I wouldn't know what the problem is." Fang Xuanling said with a smile. He is Qin Qiong and both are from the same city in Licheng, Qizhou. The relationship between the two is still very good. Moreover, Fang Xuanling's wife, Lu Shi, is also a relative of Qin Qiong's concubine, Zheng Shi.Fang Xuanling's wife, Lu family, and Qin Qiong's concubine, Zheng family, both came from five surnames and seven families in Shandong. Even Fang Yanzao, Fang Xuanling's uncle, was Li Mi's counselor in Wagang back then, and had a good relationship with Qin Qiong.

The relationship between the two families has always been very close, even though they are both civil and military.

Cheng Yaojin also said: "Wu Erlang is about the same age as Shu Bao's son who is not in Luoyang, and his name is even Huaiyu. It's not just fate, maybe Qin Huaiyu knows something underground, so he specially borrowed Wu Huaiyu's hand to repay Shubao. OK."

Li Shimin led Qin Qiong directly to the couch and sat down together.

Cheng Yaojin stood up and asked, saying that he was willing to give up the position of the prince's right inner leader, which was supposed to be the position of Shubao, and he was willing to be the deputy leader.

Li Shimin smiled.

"Gu Dui Shubao has other uses," Li Shimin picked up a pre-drawn appointment and handed it to Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong was very surprised when he saw the appointment, "I have used Wu Erlang's elixir myself. Although my health has improved, I am still very weak. Zhuangzi Luyuan is recuperating, and he will return to court to serve His Highness when his body recovers!"

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment.

The new positions he arranged for Qin Qiong were to add the titles of General Zuowuwei, General Drum Banner of the Chang'an Road Drum Banner Army of the Twelve Routes in Guanzhong, General Jin Zhenjun, and the command of more than [-] military mansions west of the capital, and posthumously gifted Qin Qiong's father as an envoy. Jie, Yingzhou Inspector, Shangzhu Kingdom, and Licheng County Duke, Tun was succeeded by his second son Qin Huaidao as the Duke of Licheng County.

This arrangement is not ordinary.

The General of the Zhenjun was established in the seventh year of Wude. There are two generals, Fuguo and Zhenjun, under which there are ten generals such as Champion and Yunhui.Unlike Wen San, which already has a complete and mature set of ninth-rank Zheng from level 29, Wu Sanguan only has twelfth level, and it is specially awarded to generals of fifth rank and above.

Moreover, not all military generals above the fifth rank can get this general title. At this time, military officers are also awarded Wen San rank. This kind of general title with seven years of military virtue, like an honorary officer, has a strong color of honor.

The general of the town army, that is the second class, from the second rank.

As for General Zuo Wuwei, this is the position of the soldiers in one of the four prefectures of the Twelve Guards, the highest general of Zuo Wuwei.General Drum Banner is very special. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, in order to guard the capital and guard against Turks, etc., there were twelve divisions and twelve armies in Guanzhong, and they were divided into government soldiers.

In fact, at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, most of the military mansions were established in the Guanzhong area, and the twelve armies established in the Guanzhong area directly divided and controlled these soldiers.

These are two systems that do not belong to each other. The twelve guards govern the soldiers of the world, and the chariots and hussars in various places all belong to the twelve guards. However, the twelve divisions and twelve armies are equivalent to ten There are twelve legions in the Second Military Region, and their functions are more similar to a standing legion.

The Weifu system in the early Tang Dynasty was not perfect, and it was inherited from the Sui Dynasty, but the military power was not complete at the beginning of the founding of the country. The emperor had his own imperial army, the prince had his own ten commandments in the East Palace, King Qin and King Qi had their own Six Guards, and even Even Princess Chai Shao and his wife of Pingyang used to have their own army.

Compared with the Twelve Guards, the Twelve Armies are relatively complete. Each has a general and a deputy general, each unites the army, and each town has a high command authority over the soldiers and horses in the road.

These twelve military regions, including Chang'an and Wannian, are the core of the capital. , 60 for the medium and 6 for the small, actually about [-] people.

This is very powerful.

It is also the army at the core of the capital. Before that, the general of Guqi was Yang Gongren. Yang Gongren was the prime minister of the Wude Dynasty. Drum Banner General.

This Yang Gongren is the continuation wife and cousin of Samurai Xun, and Samurai Xun also inspected General Jing Cheng, one of the Twelfth Army, before.

Since the success of the mutiny, Li Shimin has been busy adjusting, and this military power is naturally the top priority.

After Qin Qiong stood up again, Li Shimin immediately thought of handing over the most important post of Guqi General to him, and let him lead the more than sixty prefectures in the west of Beijing. He was able to hold this position better, and he was specially named the general of the town army.

He also specially presented Qin Qiong's father with the title of Duke of Licheng County, and let his son who is only a few years old inherit it.

This is an exceptional honor, an immense trust.

But Qin Qiong actually wanted to refuse and asked for leave to recuperate.

"Shubao, Gu also knows that your body has not fully recovered, but Gu needs your help right now. There is a sudden large-scale invasion, and the court of the capital is still not peaceful. At this time, you must help a group of Gu."

Li Shimin refused Qin Qiong's request for leave. Not only that, but he also asked his eldest brother Sun Wuji to add a sentence to the appointment letter, "Inspect the Forbidden Army at the North Gate of Miyagi,"

He held Qin Qiong's hand and looked at those confidantes in the palace, "We have struggled for many years, and finally we have the current situation. We cannot do without you, and now we cannot do without you."

Li Shentong, the former general of Zuowuwei, was a famous king of the clan, he was named the king of Huai'an, and he was even Li Shimin's clan uncle, but now Li Shimin is not at ease with those clans, even Yang Gongren, who also supported him before , but Yang is the emperor's confidant.

"Yang Gongren was dismissed from his position as the inspector of the Zhongshuling, no longer served as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and no longer served as the General of the Right Guard and the General of the Guqi. He was appointed Doctor Zuo Guanglu and worshiped Yongzhou Mu."

"Prince Zuo Shuzi's eldest grandson Wuji gave the Minister of the Ministry of Officials,
Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, dismissed Zuo Wuwei from his position as a general, and conferred on Kaifu Yitong the third division, and served as the governor of Yangzhou Metropolitan Government. "

"The Divine Talisman of Xiangyi King Li, the Metropolitan Governor of Yangzhou, entered the court as a general supervisor and a regular attendant on Sanqi. Shi Wushi, the governor of the Metropolitan Government of Yangzhou who inspected the school, entered the court and was awarded the title of Minister of the Yellow Gate."

In fact, each transfer order has been discussed with the confidantes in advance.

"Cheng Zhijie awarded General Youwuwei, General Wanniandao Canban, added the title of General Champion, and was still the Prince's right guard, and inspected the Zuotun camp at the north gate."

As a confidant general, Cheng Yaojin was also conferred important positions again, succeeding Yan Wang Li Yi's post of General Youwuwei, and Taichangqing Dou Dan's post of General Shenqi.

Li Yi is the best friend of the abolished prince. He was born as a warlord against the king at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Now he still bears the title of General Tianjie and the governor of Jingzhou, and he is stationed in Jingzhou area with heavy troops.

But in the face of the Turkic onslaught and Li Jing's request for help, Li Yi, who was just behind Xiao Guan, did not move at all, and he was only a few hundred miles away from Chang'an.

How could Li Shimin trust him, even though Li Yi Kaifu Yitong was appointed as the third division in the name of the emperor, but he still had to have a backup.

While adding scattered ranks, some of his titles were cut off.

Dou Dan is Li Shimin's brother-in-law and the son-in-law of Princess Xiangyang. His father, Dou Kang, is also a good friend of Li Yuan. At the same time, the Dou family is also a relative of Li Tang's royal family.

When Li Shimin was young, he played with this eldest brother-in-law, and then he started to play with Chai Shao and Jian Jiancheng when he grew up. When they were young, they all played with Dou Dan. The Dou family members are all handsome and handsome.

However, in the previous political struggles, Dou Dan was partial to Jian Yuanji, which made Li Shimin very dissatisfied, and even felt a bit betrayed.

It is impossible for him to continue to command the dozens of military mansions of the Wanniandao Banqi Army. Li Shimin handed over this important position to Cheng Yaojin.

Dou Dan continues to be Tai Changqing, and also serves as the son of the state to offer wine, so the military power should not be involved.

"I ordered Li Yuan, the governor of Youzhou, the king of Lujiang, to return to the court."

"General Pingdao, the governor of Qizhou, Chai Shao, turned to General Youwei, Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche, Xue Wanshu and the four brothers, transferred to Longyou Chai Shao's command."

"Give Li Junxian the title of Zhonglang General of Zuoweiyi Mansion and Duke of Wulian County; Among the sons, Niu Jinda is the general of Youwuwei Zhonglang, and he was named the founding baron of Weicheng County..."

Although Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Feng Deyi, Chen Shuda, Pei Shiju, Yang Gongren, Yu Wenshi and these people are prime ministers, except for Yu Wenshi who is also the Sima of Tiance Admiral's Mansion and who is present today, the other prime ministers are not qualified to participate in this core meeting. without.

Yang Gongren's Zhongshuling, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, General Youwei, General Qigu, and the head of Liangzhou, were dismissed from many important positions by Li Shimin's direct absence and asked him to be the shepherd of Yongzhou, but Li Shimin He also arranged for Gao Shilian to take a part-time job in Yongzhou Biejia, which actually made Yang Gongren retire.

"Stop Shaanxi Daoxingtai and Yizhou Daoxingtai, change Shandong Daoxingtai to Luozhou Governor's Mansion, change Yizhou Daoxingtai to Yizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and Dou Gui to Yizhou Metropolitan Governor Jia Zuowei General .Qu Tongtu is the governor of Luozhou and doctor Zuo Guanglu."

As a result, the five offices above the Governor's Mansion that had been set up successively were all abolished. Dou Gui and Qu Tutong were Li Shimin's confidantes, and Li Shimin had always been the minister of these two offices.

In the plan of Fang Xuanling's grandson Wuji and others, the Xingtai was removed first, and then the Guanzhong Twelfth Army was removed, and then the governors of the major governors and the generals of the guards were replaced with their own people one after another. , When everything is in place, Li Shimin is enthroned by Zen, and then all those Wude prime ministers will be replaced.

"Your Highness, I have something to report." Prince Zuowei led Hou Junji to come forward and said, "I have to report that there was an astonishing attack and assassination in Guangdefang yesterday. The mansion in the workshop given by His Highness Xinde was set on fire, and Xue Wanche was subsequently assassinated on the street. More than ten assassins attacked with bows, arrows and swords, and Xue Wanche was wounded in more than ten places... Fortunately, Xue Wanche was brave enough to kill the assassins. Fortunately, Wu Huaiyi and his younger brother Wu Huaiyu were also in the camp at that time, and Wu Huaiyu treated Xue Wanche in time..."

Li Shimin frowned and looked at Gao Shilian. He was originally the governor of Yongzhou. On the day of the incident, he opened the prison cell of Yongzhou and released the death row prisoners to distribute weapons and lead them to attack the palace soldiers. The Yamen of Yongzhou is in Guangdefang.

"Your Highness, I am preparing to report this matter. After the incident, the Yamen of Yongzhou, Chang'an County, You Xiaowei, You Wuhou, etc. investigated and arrested them together. They obtained seven assassin corpses. None of them survived, and those who were seriously injured could not escape. Suicide by taking poison, it was initially found that those assassins were desperadoes, someone hired them with a lot of money to assassinate, but so far the person behind the scenes has not been found out, and we are stepping up the pursuit of the escapees..." Gao Shilian reported.

Li Shimin snorted dissatisfiedly, "Is Xue Wanche okay?"

"That Wu Erlang's elixir and medical skills are very good. I went to Xue's house to see it this morning. Although Xue Wanche was wounded in more than ten places, Wu Erlang used white mulberry bark for serious injuries. The stitches were sutured, the wound was clean, and there was no sign of redness, swelling and festering, Xue Wanche also invited a doctor later, and they all said that the treatment was very good, there is no serious problem, just a little rest and recuperation." Hou Junji said.

Li Shimin listened to Wu Erlang several times today, and couldn't help being a little curious, is it really so amazing?

At this time, Li Keshi, the right inner deputy leader who had not yet left for the expedition, also stood up and praised Wu Huaiyu, saying that Wu Huaiyu had prepared a lot of medicines for healing, detoxification, and blood enrichment for the Li family before, and praised this young man for being very good.

"Wu Huaiyu is currently catching money in Sanyuan County. I think he is too talented. Only with his excellent medical skills and his precious and magical pills, he can be admitted to the palace as an imperial physician."

The imperial physician is the imperial physician of the Shangyao Bureau of Dianzhong Province, from the sixth rank.Shangyao Bureau has two royal servants, who specialize in treating the emperor, who are at the fifth rank, and two Zhichang are assistants, who are at the seventh rank, and four serve as imperial physicians.In addition, there are doctors of the eighth and ninth grades such as Siyi and Yizuo, as well as imperial doctors of massage, cursing, and acupuncture.

Those who can enter Shangyao Bureau are definitely excellent doctors. They are only responsible for treating the emperor and making medicines, especially those two Feng Yu, real imperial doctors. The old imperial doctors of the court are all over a hundred years old.

Even if it is a sixth-rank imperial physician, a seventh-rank straight chief, or even an eighth- or ninth-rank doctor or medical assistant, there are thousands of choices, and which one does not have a long beard.

Even the drug boys and drug workers in Shangyao Bureau are not ordinary people.

It's too whimsical for a teenage Taoist priest to go down the mountain to serve as an imperial physician in Shangyao Bureau.

But Li Shimin didn't say anything.

"Shubao, Jingde, stay here for a while, I have something important to discuss with you."
