Chapter 452 Backfired, Book of Manmin

Chapter 452 Backfired, Book of Manmin
Qinzhou's princess tower and big giveaway continue to attract the attention of people all over the world.

As a result, everyone ignored another thing, the Turks invaded again.

Li Xian was a little angry. When I was my mother, you Turkic people said that my mother was not Li Tang Zhengtong. Now that I am the emperor, Li Tang Zhengtong is right.Why do you have to invade again and again.So Zhang Renyuan was asked to serve as the general manager of Lingwu Dao to deal with the Turks.

Zhang Renyuan was also very angry, and the new cities he built were not vegetarian. After taking over, he immediately made arrangements, and made an exception by appointing Xiao Hao and Zhang Xiaohao who were serving as Sima and Changshi in Gyeongju and Wonju.The two of them were transferred by Lao Wu in the bloody camp, but after Li Xian came to power, they were transferred several times, and finally became the current idle job.In addition to them, Wang Jun, Zhang Shougui, Guo Zhiyun, Kong Heizi, Gongsun Yun, Li Kaigu, Wu Keli and others were also transferred to various places to take up seemingly important but idle positions.

There are still many elites who have not been transferred, including Mo Hegan, Guo Qianguan, Wang Junchuo, Ge Shuhan, and Xue Hao, the son of Xue Na. They are also a group of people who sent troops to Luoyang with Wang Hua. They are now living in the Shannan area. A seemingly miserable life.Another person, Zhang Shougui, was assigned to Sichuan because he took the initiative to lead troops to cooperate with Wang Hua.

Although these two men were born as literati, their bravery was somewhat overlooked, but their military talents far surpassed that of ordinary generals.In particular, Zhang Xiaosong's trip to the extreme north has become a legend in the Tang Dynasty.

After receiving Zhang Renyuan's order, the two looked at the map, and immediately set off from Yuanzhou and went straight to Lingzhou. In the east, Zhang Renyuan went up along the Yellow River.Regardless of the cold weather, they pursued from left to right in the desert west of Toyoshu.

In fact, at this time, the Turks had already led their troops back when they heard that the Tang Dynasty army was going north.But the three of them are all extraordinary, and they have brought the meaning of military speed to the extreme.Still catch up with part of the Turkic army.After fighting for a long time in the desert north of Helan Mountain, the Turks were defeated and retreated.It also took back most of the war horses and people who had been robbed by the Turks.

When the news reached the capital, Li Xian was very happy at first.

However, a question came to mind after a while, that is, strictly speaking, Xiao Song and Zhang Xiaosong were also soldiers of the Scarlet Battalion.Even Zhang Renyuan was recommended by Wang Hua.Although it's hard to say, I'm a little afraid of Wang Hua's potential influence.

Zhang Renyuan is better, mainly because of Xiao Song and Zhang Xiaosong.

So it was decreed that Xiao Song and Zhang Xiaosong were moved to the two prefectures of Xiangli to serve as governors due to their meritorious service.These two prefectures were both upper prefectures in the Tang Dynasty, so it is not considered a mistreatment of two people.But the main reason is that they don't want them to take over the military power.Fortunately, the two of them were born as civil servants, so it doesn't matter.

Zhang Renyuan was also asked to return to Beijing to serve as the third grade under Tongzhong Shumen, that is, reality.

Then they called the prime ministers Wei Juyuan and Yang Zaisi to ask about Wang Hua.It has been more than a year, and he must be allowed to return to Beijing.

There is also a large group of clan disciples and two daughters who have been away from Beijing for several months, and it is time to return.Thinking of this, Li Xian was very puzzled. Could it be that Qinzhou is really a good place, why these dozen or so children didn't want to come back for several months after going out?
Can you want to come back?
Next spring will be about the same. Now Chang'an and Luoyang are icy and snowy, but Qinzhou is neither hot nor cold.

And the people respect them ten times more than the people in Chang'an, maybe there are too few distinguished guests in this place.In fact, it was not. It had little to do with their identities. They mainly heard about the relationship between Wang Hua and Li Gu'er, and thought they were relatives of Wang Hua, so they respected them all the more.

Although the place is a bit small, there are many interesting places. Not to mention fishing and hunting, you can go boating in normal times, or you can enjoy the mountains and rivers with some literati who come to play. Under the princess tower, there is a small banquet, drinking poems and writing Fu , flatter each other.

The most important thing is that there is no nagging from the elders, and there is no one to control it.Wang Hua's request is very simple, as long as it doesn't disturb the people, you can play as you like, not only do you want to play, but I will give you money to let you play.Therefore, this group of fart kids, especially the teenagers, are like wild horses that have lost their stiffness, playing like crazy.

I was also a little homesick, at least bought some gifts and sent them back.

But how much they thought about it was very doubtful, and they even had an idea that there would be no such shop after passing this village.Think about it, return to the capital immediately, Wang Hua also returns to the capital, will there be this opportunity to go out in the future?

So the adults are thinking about it at home, worrying that their children will be harmed in a foreign land.He kept asking the returning eunuch how the child was doing there.But these sons rarely ask how their parents are doing now.

After hearing Li Xian's words, Yang Zaisi said: "Wang Hua is coming back, and the matter of Yizhou can't be delayed for too long. Wang Hua needs to come back to discuss. But there is a question, what position should Wang Hua give when he comes back? "

When Wang Hua left Beijing, he was the servant of the household department. He was not demoted to exile, but opened Zhe Lingnan to solve the resettlement of refugees.The task was successfully achieved, and more than 40 refugees from the imperial court were resettled at once, which means that there were more than 40 people in the household department.Not only that, but the influence of several Shangzhou and Zhongzhou created out of thin air will benefit the imperial court in the next few years.There is also stable grain, and find out the achievements of several major copper mines.

If it is an ordinary person, relying on any one of them, the official position will be swished and taken up.

But how did Wang Hua get promoted?
Originally, the servant of the household department already belonged to the top official position, and if he went up, there were only a few prime ministers and six ministers.Of course, there is the position of governor of the major governors, but that is a local official position, no matter how high it is, it cannot be counted.Don't dare to grant it, it is to control the military and civil affairs of several states. If Wang Hua is allowed to control the military, who will dare to take responsibility if something happens?
Could it be that Wang Hua was appointed as the six ministers and prime minister?
Li Xian frowned and said, "Yes, it's a little too small."

He was only 21 years old, and even Wang Hua himself said that now that he is a Duke, what should he do if he has meritorious service in the future?Could it be that when he was less than 30 years old, he was assigned to be the second rank and then the first rank, forcing him to leave the court?

But if there is no reward, it's not the heart drawn by King Han, maybe he really doesn't care, it's the heart of hard-working officials in Han Tianxia, ​​and the heart of Han Tianxia's people.

It is very tangled, although Wang Hua has a great effect on the court, so sometimes Webster is angry, but at the same time he has to think to himself that it is good to use Wang Hua as a first-aid kit.At least for now, it seems that there is really nothing to trouble him.

But every time it also gave the court a headache.

Li Xian said to himself: "It seems that there is nothing perfect in this world."

This sentence popped up out of nowhere, but several people understood Li Xian's thoughts.Because they also have headaches.In the end, Wei Juyuan said: "Your Majesty, let Wang Hua solve this problem by himself."

Let Wang Hua ask for an official, ask for a minister to give him a minister, and ask for a minister to give him a minister.It seems that Wang Hua is still very self-conscious about his official position.Wang Hua's own proposal can also block the mouths of the people all over the world.

This is the only way. Li Xianzi's caring eunuch, the right prison gate general Liu Anzi, went to Qinzhou to issue an order.It's better to ask than to make an order.

After crossing the Nanling Mountains, I came to Qinzhou.It would be better if you come by water, but if you come by land, the whole journey is shocking. I heard that the situation has improved because of the repair of the road, otherwise the situation has been worse.But within the radiation range of Qinzhou, the eunuch gradually felt like entering a paradise.This feeling reached its peak when it arrived in Qinzhou.

But things can't be delayed any longer, Li Xian still wants Li Bao'er and Princess Changning to go back and have a reunion year.And this year Chang'an has also purchased a large number of fireworks and firecrackers, and it is ready for a national celebration at that time.

Immediately come to Painter Wang and talk about your future intentions.He didn't beat around the bush, Wang Hua was a smart person, so he pointed it out directly.

Wang Hua laughed when he heard this, and he asked, "General Liu, the court is only embarrassing my official position, but General Liu, have you ever thought about whether a high official position is a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Of course it's a good thing," Liu An replied without thinking.Who doesn't want to be a general and pay homage to the prime minister, like Li Jing did.

"Wrong, the bigger the official position, the less good it is. Because the bigger the official position, the heavier the burden. If it is not for His Majesty's wrong love, let the minister be a Yuanwailang, the minister will be the happiest."

Liu An took this sentence as a deaf ear, why don't you, Yuanwai Lang, even if you really want to, the emperor may not dare to grant it.If the emperor granted it, wouldn't the people in the world scold the emperor to death?

"It's better to be the Minister of the Six Departments. Because many of the ministers of the Ministry of Rituals have violated the rules, especially in the past year, they have been in a hurry and have done more things than the rules. This minister is ashamed. The ministers of the Ministry of Punishment have already violated the imperial system. , nor can it be granted. The official department is concerned with the selection and selection of talents, and the ministers are too young, so it is also not allowed to grant it. The military department has many subordinates because of the bloody battalion soldiers, so it must be avoided."

Liu An was very moved when he heard this. This is the understanding of long live.

"So I'm still in the middle of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households. Let Your Majesty take a position and let the minister take it. And even if the minister has merit, he has done a lot of things that exceeded the system this time, just to forgive the crime. Once it is offset and canceled, the minister will Thank you so much for His Majesty's favor."

Liu An almost held Wang Hua's hand because of Wang Hua's understanding.

Now that he decided to leave, Wang Hua summoned officials from all counties in Qinzhou to discuss matters. When he heard that Wang Hua was leaving, Pu Mojiao almost burst into tears. He said anxiously, "Master, you can't leave now. The building has not yet been completed, and the relief materials have not been distributed, all of which must be planned by the envoy. There is also a rare plant breeding arranged by the envoy, which has promoted a large number of mulberry and hemp fields, but there is no profit. If another envoy comes, even if You have the character of an envoy, but you don't have the talent of an envoy. Qinzhou will fall short."

Officials from several other counties joined forces to dissuade them.

Don't look at them busy around, but Wang Hua has made all the arrangements, and they Xiao Guicao can do whatever they want.If the governor is changed, not only the future of Qinzhou, but also his own affairs will become a mess.

"Don't worry, I will ask the imperial court for a good governor this time." Although Song Dynasty may not be as good as himself economically, he will not be weaker than himself in terms of officials.Of course, if the imperial court sent bad officials, even if Zong Chuke came in person, Wang Hua would not agree.

Wang Hua discussed Qinzhou's future plans and development.But few officials listened, and Pu Mojiao left the state office with blank eyes.I have been worried about this day for a long time. For more than a year, it was like living in a dream, and this dream finally woke up.

In fact, this barbarian talent is not very good, but he is loyal and diligent. When the Ning family was in control, even the people of the Ning family valued him very much, so Wang Hua snatched him from Zhou Rengui's jaws.This is a personal favor, a public favor, that is a change in Qinzhou.I really don't want Wang Hua to leave, at least it would be good to stay for another year or two.

Thinking of this, he ignored an idea, called the people over, and said loudly: "Fellow folks. One and a half years ago, the envoy came to our Qinzhou. At that time, the imperial court was suppressing the Ning family's anti-party. The whole Qinzhou was in chaos. Then the envoy You set aside this piece of land and said to build a city in this place. When I saw the area, everyone, guess what I thought?"

"I think Shijun is just talking nonsense. Such a big place needs [-] people to fill it. Even if all the population of the surrounding counties and counties are moved here, it will be just an empty city. At that time, Shijun told me that every one of us Everyone has a dream. We can fly as far as our dreams go. Then the envoy asked me to be the county magistrate. In fact, I was a county magistrate who was muddled and muddled. The number of people has increased, and the population of the city has gradually become full. Even the population of the surrounding states and counties is increasing. We used to eat only two meals a day, and we dare not eat enough. Now we have three meals a day, and there are also vegetables in the dishes. They also add some fish, shrimp and meat from time to time to make meat. Originally, in summer, some people didn’t even have to wear clothes, only some cloth strips around their waists, but now basically every household is wearing new clothes. More than half of the people live in temporary new houses, and they are no longer afraid that the storm will blow down the house and everyone will be displaced. Even our children can go to school without money, and can read and write."

"All of this is like a dream. Everyone, tell me, who should we thank?" Lao Pu is a real person. When he said this, he even shed tears.

"Envoy! Envoy!"

"But I want to tell everyone a piece of bad news. The imperial court is going to call the envoy back to the capital. The sky in Qinzhou is about to collapse."

When the common people heard about it, they bombed the camp.Many people are from other places. They have also seen the "powerfulness" of officials. After arriving in Qinzhou, it is like going to heaven.But once the governor is changed, God knows what the new governor will look like.Even if he is a good governor, he is not as capable as Wang Hua.

Pu Mojiao asked everyone to stop the confusion, and said: "Therefore, I wrote a letter to the people, asking the imperial court to keep more envoys, and stay in Qinzhou for a year or two, and let our 20 Qinzhou people continue to live. Then a good year and two years."

The petitions were taken out, most of them were illiterate.So let the people put their palms together and press their fingerprints.But a piece of paper can be as big as it is densely packed, and it can't hold a thousand fingerprints.So the second and third sheets of paper were taken out.

When the other four counties heard about this, they also began to sign up for Wanmin's letter. Some of them were afraid that the number would not be enough, so they pressed it once and then pressed it a second time.As a result, there were less than 21 people in Qinzhou, and 25 fingerprints were pressed.

This time the incident became a big deal.Not only Qinzhou, officials and people in other states and counties were also dumbfounded when they heard this.Although it turned out to be a great joy to fight for population mobility.That's a fight, fight for more benefits for your own state and county.But the changes brought about by Wang Hua are real. Especially in the prefectures and counties adjacent to Qinzhou, the number of people has increased, their income has also increased, and they can even receive considerable taxes. My life is not as tight as it used to be. .Especially those refugees, they are all driven to a dead end, otherwise who would come to Lingnan?
Now Wang Hua has given them a way out.But what happened to Wang Hua after he left?Following the officials of other prefectures and counties asking Wang Hua to stay, the people spontaneously pressed their fingerprints and wrote tens of thousands of people's letters, begging the court to give Qinzhou and Lingnan another chance.

Some people in Qinzhou City spontaneously organized themselves to keep an eye on Wang Hua, and even the eunuch Liu An, and couldn't let them go.

Poor Liu An, as soon as he went out, people surrounded him densely like the waves of the sea. Although it was a good deed, this scene was a bit scary.In the end, he stayed in Wang Huafu and dared not go anywhere.So he wrote to the imperial court, and when it came to this matter, the imperial court had to come up with an idea, otherwise the slaves would not even be able to go to the Princess Tower.

Ganqing now regrets not going to the Princess Tower to take a look in advance.Now he can only stay in the city, looking at the figure of Tamanmiao outside the city, it is extremely tempting, and makes him associate with Painter Wang.

In the end, 60% of the prefectures and counties in the South of the Five Ridges submitted petitions, and countless petitions were submitted, with more than [-] fingerprints signed, and the number is still increasing.Some people actually cut their skin and pressed bloody fingerprints because of their strong emotions.Even some prefectures and counties in Jiannan Road and Qianzhong Road, which benefited from road construction, also wrote letters to retain people.

It is the dream of all officials for an official to do this.

When Old Wei heard this at home, he sighed inwardly, Wang Hua was born in Li Xian's time, if he was born in Taizong's time, then he would have brought his talent to the extreme.

In fact, it is not necessarily true. If Li Shimin was alive, it would be impossible for Wang Hua to have so many little tricks.The reason why Li Xian was confused was to give Wang Hua the opportunity to rise.

But after this Wanmin book, it is not a good thing, but counterproductive.

It was touching, but even Li Xian was amazed.But even more afraid.Wang Hua has only been there for a little over a year and a half. If it has been operating in Lingnan for three or four years, will Lingnan be dominated by the imperial court or Wang Hua?At that time, Wang Hua wanted to be the second Zhao Tuo, and the court would have no choice but to appease him in a strange way, but did not dare to destroy him.

Wang Hua really doesn't have this idea, but if Wang Hua is allowed to operate for three to five years, the life of the people in Lingnan may not be able to catch up with the Central Plains, but it will be ten or eight times better than the current life.At that time, Wang Hua's influence in the hearts of the people may also exceed that of the imperial court.

So the mood to recall Wang Hua became more urgent.In addition, an incident happened at this time, which also found an excuse for the court.The Tubo envoy came to the Tang Dynasty to ask for marriage. He heard that Princess Jincheng was gentle and virtuous, and asked the Tang Dynasty to marry the Tubo Zanpu ruler with pearls.

After hearing this, Wang Hua almost died laughing.

So gentle and virtuous, I was still fighting a mud fight with a group of little kids yesterday.

But the current marriage system is beyond the imagination of future generations, so there is no reason to speak of it.As long as you are happy, even a three-year-old child can still pray to heaven and earth to get married.

But for Princess Jincheng, he specially sent someone to investigate.

According to the legend, it was Jiang Chalawen, a handsome prince of Tubo, who begged for his marriage.But when meeting Princess Jincheng, the prince fell off his horse and died.It's really strange, even if Wang Hua fell asleep while riding a horse, it's impossible for him to fall to his death.What's more, slowly follow the marriage team.Little Jincheng had no choice but to marry the prince’s father, Zanpu Chide Zuzan (a boy who is more than ten years old actually understands the righteousness of the nation, a genius!), and later gave birth to a son for Zanpu .But he was snatched by the concubine Na Nang, and it took a lot of trouble to get the child back.

As for the matter of the child, since it didn't happen, Jin Cheng, who was nine years old, would not expect to give birth to a child.Wang Hua didn't know, but this handsome prince must have made it up.Moreover, the Tibetan names of Chidai Zhudan are Chide Zuzan and Chide Zudan, which are clearly the incarnation of the legendary Chide Zuzan.But he is also a kid, the same age as Jin Cheng.

Still a disobedient little kid.

Getting a large amount of dowry is not good for Jincheng, so it is very likely that the child will be taken away by other princesses.In order to improve Jincheng's status, Li Dan was also merciful to her, so he ceded the land of nine bends in the west of the Yellow River to Tubo.It's okay not to cede it, but once it is ceded, "Tubo has acquired Jiuqu, its land is fertile and good, it can be used for soldiers and livestock, and it is close to the Tang Dynasty, so it will rebel and start to lead troops into the bandits." Jincheng is really not ugly, and the plundering of the Tang Dynasty is more rampant than before.

This was the beginning of shameful in-laws in the Tang Dynasty. Unlike Princess Wencheng, who was born in an unknown clan woman, Jincheng Zhengzong was born in a famous family. Li Xian's adopted daughter, her father Li Shouli was the son of the former prince Li Xian.But what kind of treatment did Wencheng enjoy?A Potala Palace was built for her.

Wang Hua even wondered if Princess Wencheng hadn't married Tubo and brought advanced cultural knowledge, would Tubo have become stronger.If this argument holds true, this marriage is a serious mistake.Because Tubo later became a nightmare of the Tang Dynasty, and almost attacked Chang'an at one point.In the late Tang Dynasty, all the land of Longyou was swallowed up as his own.Therefore, the Silk Road was almost interrupted, and a place for horses was lost. From then on, they had to obey the separatist rule of various feudal towns.

However, in terms of personal fate, Xiao Jincheng was better. Later, in order to reduce the disaster of war, Li Longji sent Princess Yongle, Princess Yanjun, Princess Donghua, Princess Yifang, Princess Gu'an, Princess Jingle, Princess Dongguang, etc. It was given to the barbarians Khitan and Xi, but in the end the Khitan and Xi ungratefully slaughtered several married princesses.This move undoubtedly lost Tang Chao's face.

And what Wang Hua couldn't figure out was, how could these princesses, these idiots, be willing to kill them.The Li family has good pedigree. I haven't seen the princesses Wang Hua later, and they haven't even been born yet. But how many princesses in the Tang Dynasty were not beautiful?

Just like Little Jincheng, or Li Guer's sister, Princess Changning.The only ugly thing is Princess Yicheng, but according to Wang Hua's eyesight, she looks pretty good.Is the aesthetic point of view so different?

The imperial envoy of the imperial court and the successor governor did not arrive in Qinzhou, but this residence report did arrive in Qinzhou City.It is necessary to guard Jincheng well and not let her have any accidents, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to Tubo.

Wang Hua almost died of anger. If the court gave him the right, he would not even want the court to provide food and grass. Within three years, he would surely beat Tubo to his heart's content.It happened that the livestock in Tubo were plagued by plague, so the opportunity was rare.

But Xiao Jincheng was dumbfounded, and opened his mouth to cry.It seems that it is impossible to expect her to understand the righteousness of the nation.

Li Bao'er felt a little fond of the youngest, so she grabbed Wang Hua's hand and said, "Erlang, think of a way."

As soon as Jin Cheng heard this, she regained her spirits, Wang Hua was in her heart, that is the living god, almost omnipotent, even the food price was settled easily, if she is not allowed to marry Tubo, it is not easy, it is pitiful to see Wang Hua.

Wang Hua was very depressed. This was related to the national policy of the imperial court. What could he do?
