Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 458 Linzhou League (1)

Lintao, the capital of Linzhou, was called Didao in ancient times. It was first built in the 18th year of King Zhou An (1000 BC). Duke Xian of Qin destroyed Di and Huan of the Xirong tribe and established two counties of Didao and Huandao. Didao was the name of the county. In the eighth year of Tang Wude, Emperor Gaozu ordered Didao to be upgraded to Linzhou, which governed the four counties of Di, Heng, Daxia and Didao. The administrative office was still located in Didao, and the county name remained unchanged.In the second year of Emperor Qianfeng's reign, after Emperor Gaozong granted Chan Taishan back to Beijing, he issued an edict to rebuild the ancestral temple and the ancestral house. When drafting the edict, he thought the name of Di Dao's county was barbaric. Changed the name, just muttered a few words, at that time, Li Xian happened to be accompanying the attendant, and said by the way that since Didao is Lintao water, it would be better to just take it as Lintao. So, the name was changed to Lintao [-] and [-] years in advance, which may also be regarded as Li Xian's contribution to time travel.

Lintao is long and narrow from north to south, and the terrain slopes from southeast to northwest. The terrain is complex, and there are many valleys and rivers. It is the strategic hub of guarding Longshu, also known as the southern gate of Lanzhou. All dynasties have stationed heavy troops here to deter the Qiangs. No exception, the CCP has more than [-] troops stationed in Lintao County. The strength of the troops is not small, but because of the complex terrain and the large number of tribes, it can only barely ensure the stability of the city defense. As for the vast area outside the city, it is really impossible to take care of both. As a result, bandits are rampant, and many tribes are independent and do not accept the king. It is one of the most chaotic places on the Silk Road. Here, the largest tribe in Hexi, the Fangdang tribe of the Dangxiang tribe, has also established its foundation in Lintao. Every day, the fighting in the wilderness outside the city has never stopped, either between tribes fighting endlessly, or bandits looting In the past, the caravans were under the control of the garrison, so they could only let it go. As long as these barbarians did not spread the war to the city, the defenders would never take the initiative to pay attention to the chaos outside the city. It can only be described as extremely poor.

Chaos in Linzhou is normal, while tranquility is abnormal. It is extremely rare, at least for Li Xuanning, the governor of Linzhou. There are only a handful of them, but this year, after the Ching Ming Festival, Li Xuanning has miraculously been at leisure. For more than ten days in a row, not a single case has occurred, no matter whether it is inside or outside the city. The days are so comfortable, Li Xuanning's first reaction was naturally to be secretly delighted, but as time went on, he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly sent out many scouts to investigate the details, and then suddenly found out what trouble His son's "Tribal Alliance" was going to be held right under his nose, and in shock, the three souls almost lost two of them—what kind of tribal alliance is nothing more than a synonym for mobilizing people to rebel? Lao Mozi's stuff was created under his own control, no matter how big or small the mistake was, Li Xuanning, as the governor, would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being imprisoned, and it's not impossible to lose his head if something goes wrong Things.

It's a matter of his own wealth and life, and it's natural to be anxious. Since he got the accurate news, Li Xuanning has been so anxious that he hasn't eaten a meal for three days. In addition to sending sentries to continue to follow up on this matter, they could only send reports to Lanzhou several times a day, hoping that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion would give a clear action instruction, but all the messengers sent were sent to Lanzhou. There was no return, no message was sent back, but Li Xuanning was so worried, every day he either sighed or sighed, or made excuses to offend people, no, just ordered tea, but it was too hot, and he was about to serve it The servant of the tea scolded him bloody, and was angrily scolding Fang Qiujian, when he saw a yamen servant rushing in from outside with an extremely anxious expression, which immediately made Li Xuanning angry, and his eyes almost fell out Out of orbit.

"You bastard, what a run, are you in a hurry to reincarnate? My lord, I'll make you right!"

The anger in Li Xuanning's heart was raging, and seeing the flustered look of the yamen servant, the disgust in his heart suddenly rose, and he opened his mouth to reprimand angrily without waiting for the yamen servant to speak out.

"Ah, no, no, my lord, my lord, my lord, my mansion is here, I'm here, just outside."

The rushing yamen servant ran in such a hurry that he hadn't even caught his breath yet, so he was so scolded by Li Xuanning. expressed it.

"What? Why didn't you report it earlier? You idiot, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and invite me here, trash, what use are you for!"

Hearing that someone finally came to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Li Xuanning's heart immediately relaxed, but when he saw the yamen servant standing there stupidly panting heavily, Li Xuanning's anger immediately came to his heart again, hating He stomped his feet in hatred and cursed angrily.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes..."

Li Xuanning was the one who said people ran away in a hurry, and he was also the one who didn't report the news early, which made people die. The hapless yamen servant was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry aloud, but he was facing his own boss Boss, no matter how many grievances there are, there is nothing to justify, other than promises repeatedly, he can only turn around and rush out of the house honestly.

"Get off, why are you standing still, waiting to watch a play, huh?"

With the matter of the "Big Tribal Alliance" in his heart, Li Xuanning couldn't calm down, he couldn't sit still, and walked back and forth in the hall in a huff, when he suddenly saw the servant who had been scolded before bowing his head. Standing on the sidelines, feeling suddenly upset again, he glared and scolded angrily, but he didn't notice that a tall young man dressed as a merchant was already accompanied by the previous yamen servant Walked up the hall.

"Is Master Li very angry?"

Seeing Li Xuanning having a fit there, the visitor couldn't help but frowned slightly, and let out a displeased voice.

"you……"

Li Xuanning was in the middle of the fire, when he heard that someone dared to ridicule him face to face, he immediately burst into rage, turned his head back in great annoyance, and opened his mouth to swear, but when he saw the person's face, the swearing stopped abruptly Yes, his eyes widened in surprise and suspicion, and he became stupid dumbly.

"So what?"

The visitor looked at Li Xuanning with a half-smile, and opened his mouth unceremoniously.

"Hall, hall..."

Li Xuanning was startled, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously, and finally confirmed that the person standing in front of him was Li Xian, the governor of Hexi, his immediate superior. words come.

Hey, no wonder Zhang Jianzhi said that this guy is a mediocre person, it really is!Li Xian didn't have much contact with Li Xuanning, that's just a few times they called him. Most of them were business affairs, and they didn't talk about it in detail. Their impressions were only so-so. On the contrary, Zhang Jianzhi has been in contact with Li Xuanning a lot because he presides over the affairs of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and his evaluation is really not high, only "reluctantly". Li Xian originally wanted to replace this person, but he didn't have the time Forget it, seeing how poor his performance was, his determination to change horses became a bit firmer. Of course, if he really wanted to do it, it would only be possible after this matter was settled. As for this time, Li Xian really It was because he was too lazy to have common knowledge with him, so he just pressed his hand to stop Li Xuanning from revealing his identity in public, and then calmly cupped his hands and said: "I was ordered by the governor to send an interrogation, please Sir Li back away from the left and right sides."

"Ah, good, good, good, you all stand down, stand down!"

Hearing Li Xian's words, Li Xuanning finally came to his senses, hurriedly agreed, waved his hands indiscriminately, and drove all the servants and yamen servants who were waiting in the hall out of the hall.

"The lower official sees His Royal Highness, but I don't know His Highness is coming, and the lower official is far away to welcome you, so please ask His Highness Haihan."

Although Li Xuanning is a mediocre talent, he may be a high-ranking governor, so he will not be a stupid person. To make up for the previous loss of manners, he is very courteous and courteous. When people go, it will be a big gift immediately pay homage.

"It doesn't matter, this trip alone is just sneaking in plain clothes. I blame Li Shishi for not being able to do it, so let's get away with it."

Although Li Xian was determined to change horses, he would never reveal the slightest word of mouth at this time. Instead, he comforted Li Xuanning very gently, and then walked slowly a few steps back and sat down.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your tolerance. I found out that the various tribes wanted to gather people to commit misdeeds. I have sent more than a dozen call horses to Lanzhou, but there has been no response. I am so anxious that I lost my mind. Fortunately, Your Highness has arrived. Your Highness Officials have their own hearts and minds, so I ask Your Highness to show you how to do things, and I will follow them without any worries!"

Although Li Xian didn't see anything strange, Li Xuanning didn't dare to rest easy, so when he told the truth, he tried his best to justify his perverse behavior. In his words, there were both flattery and assurance, a full-fledged old man in the officialdom Oily style.

"Well, Mr. Li can only understand the heart of the country. To be honest, Mr. Li, this is why Mr. Li came here. All kinds of matters still need Mr. Li's full cooperation."

Li Xian is a full-fledged acting school. If he doesn't want people to see the clues, then no one can see what he thinks in his heart. Even if Li Xian has actually given up on Li Xuanning at this time, but in words, He didn't hesitate to praise him, as if he really valued Li Xuanning very much.

"Your Highness, don't worry, but there is an order. Even if I die, I dare not resign. I will definitely live up to your highness's trust!"

When Li Xuanning heard that there was an opportunity to curry favor with Li Xian, there was no way he would be unwilling to do so. As soon as Li Xian finished speaking, he couldn't wait to express his opinion.

"Okay, I won't gossip anymore, I want you..."

An official is an official after all, Li Xuanning only cared about patting his chest as a guarantee, but didn't ask whether he was up to the task. As soon as this kind of behavior was done, Li Xian's dissatisfaction immediately became stronger However, the matter is urgent, and there is really no way to change generals before the battle. Even if he is unwilling, Li Xian can only make do with him first, so he will tell what Li Xuanning has done one by one, and he can hear the light in Li Xuanning's eyes Flashing wildly.
