Chapter 79
Bizhou
Back and forth, half a month passed.
The case is closed, the evidence has been presented to the court, and the rest is beyond Fan Zheng’s control!
Li Yifu quietly moved to Fan Zheng's side, his eyes full of envy: "With this contribution, you have established a firm foothold in the Procuratorate, and no one has mentioned the matter. Tsk tsk, they have begun to accept you, and I am the only one.
People are ostracized!"
Brother, if you put away that iconic fake smile, you'll blend in quickly.
"Bachelor of Hongwen Hall, Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, Yongxing County Duke Yu Shinan passed away."
Fan Zheng looked at Li Yifu inexplicably, not understanding his intention.
Yu Shinan was one of the four great calligraphers in the early Tang Dynasty. What did he have to do with Fan?
"What a pity that my calligraphy skills are. If I could give 10% to my dear brother, I wouldn't be dangling a goose feather." Li Yifu chuckled.
In the public house, you can't be too disrespectful, otherwise you will be punished, otherwise Li Yifu will laugh wildly.
This is unkind!
Li Yifu laughed dryly: "I am good at writing, calligraphy, and polishing. I will not be inferior to others. My good brother is good at practical work and is good at sorting out, but I suffer some losses in articles."
"This time, my dear brother, I have made a great contribution in Liaozhou. If I polish my pen for my brother, I will be one of the twenty-seven best. How about combining the two into one?"
You can't help but listen to what Li Yifu said, but you can't listen to everything.
It must be admitted that Li Yifu is very talented. If he is the master of the sword, his seven points of credit will be equal to ten points.
The disadvantage of Li Yifu is that the supervisors assigned to him by Liu Fan are the two most useless in the entire Procuratorate. Compared with Liu Shu and Hua Ming, they are incomparable.
Think about it, there is a person who plays with pens, and there are two pen-writers who are only good at writing and calligraphy. Who will do the actual work?
Li Yifu has not produced results in the past six months, so of course he is a little panicked.
Jingguan, we have to take the exam before September 30th, so we don’t have much time!
Fan Zheng's achievements were successful, but he didn't!
Li Yifu's character is not very strong. Before his spine was bent, he had never done anything out of the ordinary. He just wanted to recognize the Li family of Zhao County as his clan.
Ahem, up and down, the quasi-royal family recognizes me as their ancestor, but Li Yifu is not allowed to recognize me as a good ancestor?
Besides, this is Li Yifu’s father’s last wish!
Li Yifu's father's name is recorded in the "Old Book of Tang Dynasty", but it is too close to the old man's pseudonym and cannot be exported.
In Fan Zheng's view, Li Yifu's biggest mistake in his life was to follow a ruthless and unjust emperor.
"Brother Li, please forgive me for making shallow remarks and describing other people's genealogy. It will be harmful rather than beneficial to my brother. As for cooperation, of course it is possible, but the credit must be mine."
Fan Zheng nodded slightly, it was Li Yifu's business whether he listened or not.
Li Yifu sighed deeply.
A last wish!
Li Yifu smiled awkwardly: "The credit is naturally due to my virtuous brother. Does your virtuous brother know about Bizhou?"
Fan Zheng smiled.
Although I am not familiar with the place, I know that you were almost demoted to Bizhou as a Sima by Changsun Wuji.
After Li Yifu explained it, Fan Zheng realized that Bizhou is located in Shannan Road, Prefecture governs Nuoshui County, Lingnuoshui, Baishi and Guangna counties, and is 1,822 miles away from Chang'an.
A rough inference is that it should be the area around Tongjiang County, Sichuan in later generations.
At this time, there were a considerable number of mountain goats in Bizhou—of course they were not monsters in myths and legends, but an ethnic group.
Roughly speaking, the Tibetan ethnic group in the Tang Dynasty is roughly equivalent to some scattered small ethnic groups in the Yaojia in later generations.
Slang is roughly equal to strong.
Barbarian generally refers to ethnic groups.
In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the rule of the southwest was not as good as the history textbooks said.
On the Lingnan Road, thanks to Feng An's family, they have always followed Mrs. Xian's strategy towards the Central Plains Dynasty. Although they took advantage of one side, they still obeyed the Tang Dynasty. Most of the Lingnan officials lived in peace.
In Jiannan Road, there are always sporadic rebels.
In fact, more than half of the Lower Dudu Prefecture in Qianzhou is Jidi Prefecture, and even Juzhou has been retreated from Jingzhi Prefecture to Jidi Prefecture.
Qianzhou governs Pengshui County, and later it was affiliated with Chongqing. For those who are ignorant, please don’t shout "Qian donkey has poor skills". He is talking about Guizhou, and he is ignorant of popular science. Liu Zongyuan is from the Tang Dynasty, and he can only write stories based on the geography of the Tang Dynasty.
However, some teachers do not do their homework before teaching this class, which makes people speechless.
Juzhou is the Guiyang of later generations.
That's too far.
Generally speaking, these ethnic groups living halfway up the mountain are not willing to accept rule. If the local government mishandles the situation even slightly, they will immediately rebel.
If you can beat it, take the place;
If you can't defeat them, you will retreat to the mountains and forests.
Anyway, Bizhou is a partially cut landscape in the middle and low mountainous areas. On those gravel surfaces, ordinary people's feet would feel numb if they wear shoes, but mountain goats can walk barefoot and as fast as flying.
You can look at the "Old Book of Tang" to see how many rebellion records there were among the Hu people during the Zhenguan Dynasty.
In Li Shimin's hands, there were four records of Li Ren rebellions. This was the emperor who was the most capable of fighting.
Fan Zheng pondered for a while: "Brother Li, are you referring to the rebellion of the mountain goats in Bizhou?"
During the Bizhou Rebellion, the imperial court had sent General Youhou Wei (recorded as General Youwuhou in the "Old Book of Tang") Shangguan Huairen to quell the rebellion.
Unexpected?
Even the right guard who maintains Chang'an patrol police has considerable combat effectiveness.
Li Yifu chuckled: "Even if they are ruthless people, they won't rebel with swords without a certain reason, right? Even if they are easy to be impulsive, what's the reason? The court must know that salt is salty."
Fan Zheng nodded: "Indeed, otherwise, no matter how many troops the Tang Dynasty has, it will not be able to withstand the continuous consumption."
The idea was excellent, but Liu Fan poured cold water directly: "It will take at least a month to go back and forth, and Bizhou is still at war. Shangguan Huairen has no intention of protecting you. If you fail, you will die in Bizhou."
Fan Zheng and Li Yifu firmly requested to patrol Bizhou.
"That's all. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Let you have a try, so as not to say that I am envious of talents in the future." Liu Fan said. "However, you have to write books and serve as censors for instructions."
Wei Tai, the censor who served as the official secretary, saw the document from the Procuratorate, and for a moment he didn't know what to write.
It's a good thing if your subordinates are brave enough to do their job, but isn't this too brave?
When the war is raging, going to Bizhou for patrol is very risky!
With a flying kick, Wei Tai skillfully handed over the problem to the imperial censor Li Qianyu.
Li Qianyou raised his eyes and looked around. Alas, the three provinces are parallel to the Yushitai. He can't take care of this matter, so he can only hand over the document to the emperor.
"Didn't Fan Zheng just come back from Yanzhou not long ago? Li Yifu, I remember that this person was recommended by Ma Zhou, right?" Li Shimin smacked his lips.
Ma Zhou, a member of Zhongshushe, responded: "I recommended him when I was serving as the censor. This man is talented in literature and dares to speak up, so I recommended him to be the censor."
How many passionate young people are not brave enough to speak out?
Li Shimin thought for a while: "Okay, let's help them. Lu Guogong, draw a team of Yi guards from Zuo Tun Guards (also known as Zuo Lingjun Guards) to protect them."
Cheng Yaojin said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the sons of Zuotunwei must not be embarrassed!"
Thank you begekanpu for the reward, cross your hands, I wish you a prosperous career, all your love, financial resources, and a body as strong as an ox.
