After returning from hunting, Liu Qing found something was wrong with Luo Cai and would be in a daze from time to time.
Occasionally, when he looked at Yang Xuan, his eyes were quite complicated.
He asked Yang Xuan.
"Liu Gong, just wait and see what happens."
After Yang Xuan fooled him for a while, Liu Qing left angrily.
He took the opportunity to ask Luo Cai.
"Mr. Luo, have you been tired recently?"
Luo Cai had something on his mind and had been wanting to find someone to ask. When Liu Qing opened his mouth, he fell into a trap.
"I have been observing for a long time and found that the soldiers, officials and people of Northern Xinjiang respect Zitai like a god."
"Isn't it bad?"
"Mr. Liu is pretending to be confused because he understands." Luo Cai pointed at him, "If things go on like this, Northern Xinjiang will inevitably clamor to become a country on its own."
This is a change that is independent of will.
Liu Qing asked instead, "Master Luo, how is this Tang Dynasty?"
"In decline."
"If everything remains unchanged, how long will the Tang Dynasty have?"
"Perhaps hundreds of years. However, in at most fifty years, the Tang Dynasty will decline, and the following years will be nothing more than lingering on."
The veteran minister from Emperor Wu's era was really sharp-eyed... Liu Qing asked: "Master Luo, who can save the Tang Dynasty?"
This question is somewhat heart-wrenching.
Luo Cai was stunned.
"Is it possible for those people in Chang'an?" Liu Qing really looked down on those people in Chang'an. He used to be envious and jealous, but now he is disdainful, sincerely disdainful.
"No!" Luo Cai said frankly, "Unless the next emperor..."
"Is it possible that King Wei will succeed to the throne?"
"It's harder to reach the sky!"
"Unless the father-in-law is dead." Liu Qing added the answer for him, "So, the only one who can take over is the King of Yue. When the King of Yue takes over, and Yang Songcheng and others become more powerful, what will happen to the Tang Dynasty?"
"Those people will share the food of the Tang Dynasty!" Luo Cai smiled bitterly.
"There is no hope in Chang'an!" Liu Qing shook his head, "Then what does Luo Gong think of Northern Xinjiang?"
"Things are getting better and better. When I was in Northern Xinjiang for a while, I felt that... this place is like the rising sun. Everyone is full of energy and high spirits. But Chang'an is gloomy, like the setting sun."
"Isn't the sunset beautiful? It's beautiful!" Liu Qing said, "But the sunset just swayed like this for a while and then set.
Lao Luo, what will you see in the Tang Dynasty after the sunset? Darkness, endless darkness will once again envelope the Central Plains, covering everyone's heads. The scene after the decline of the Chen Kingdom will repeat itself. Civil strife will continue, and alien races will take advantage of the situation.
Rush in and kill heads..."
"Stop talking!"
Luo Cai's face was ashen.
"Did I make a mistake?"
"You are right, what is wrong is the world!" Luo Cai was confused.
"Is it possible to avoid these disasters by turning a blind eye? Lao Luo, we are no longer here, but our children and grandchildren are still there. Darkness will envelope them. Can you bear it?"
"I can scream even under the ground!" Luo Cai's heart ached just thinking about those scenes. But he also felt helpless. The feeling that he could only sit and watch made him feel on pins and needles. "I wish I could rush to the palace.
I asked the emperor if I could do it, and he wouldn't listen to me."
"What's the use of a corpse's cry? It's better to work hard now!"
"But Zitai said that I will live up to the Tang Dynasty in this life!"
Damn it, the little boy is trapped in a cocoon... Liu Qing smiled, "What he said is the standard we follow! I will never change it in this life!"
"this……"
So, does Northern Xinjiang want to play... Luo Cai was shocked, "Is it King Qin or King Qing?"
Only by using force to change the power structure of the Tang Dynasty can the Tang Dynasty hope to be reborn. Luo Cai had a clear understanding of this.
That is to say, only by suppressing some vested interests can resources be reorganized and the resentment of the world be channeled.
Old Luo is really good, I must win this old thing for Zitai... Liu Qing smiled, "Mr. Luo, just stay in Northern Xinjiang, watch me in Northern Xinjiang revitalize the Tang Dynasty, watch Zitai, live up to the expectations
Datang!"
Luo Cai looked at him.
Don't fool me!
Next to him, Song Zhen, who had been silent all this time, raised his hand and said seriously: "I endorse these words. If Zitai and Beijiang violate this oath, I will die a good death!"
Luo Cai was moved and raised his hand, "In this case, I should lend a helping hand!"
"good!"
After a hunt, Luo Cai was officially included in the Northern Xinjiang system.
Immediately, he handed over a proposal for reforming officialdom.
There is a deck chair under the big tree. Boss Yang is lying on the deck chair. Fugui is lying at his feet and his son is sleeping in his arms. How beautiful!
"To summarize."
He said lazily.
Jiang He'er said: "What Mr. Luo means is that we must first clean up the old, weak and incompetent people."
"How to place it?"
You can't drive all these officials home to eat old rice. Later, these people will become staunch opponents of the Northern Xinjiang policy.
"Luo Gongjian said that our northern Xinjiang has opened up a lot of wasteland in the past two years, and the grassland before Chenzhou has not been carefully managed. In this case, these officials will be arranged there..."
"Mr. Han is back."
Han Ji is back and wants to see Yang Xuan first.
"Old Han came just in time."
Yang Xuan pointed to his side, "Let's listen to Mr. Luo's warning."
Han Ji sat down, asked some questions first, and said: "In the past, there were not enough officials, so the southern part of the town and those villages were left alone." Luo Gong's words hit the nail on the head, and he was indeed the official of the civil service department that Emperor Wu valued.
"
Jiang He'er said: "Luo Gong said that the reform of official administration cannot be done overnight, let alone drastic measures, otherwise people's hearts will be unstable, and disasters will most easily be planted."
Han Ji Fuxu said, "In recent years, many fields have been reclaimed and the population of many villages has increased, but there has been no effective jurisdiction. The same is true on the grassland. Although the southern part of the town is loyal, people's hearts can change. It is time to bring it under jurisdiction as soon as possible.
.
Take care first, and then manage it carefully. This is the method of walking slowly and moistening things with gentle rain. Luo Gong... what a Luo Gong!"
Boss Yang hugged his son in his arms comfortably, "I said that when one is in charge, officialdom comes first. Li Mi doesn't care about Luo Cai's departure, that's because he is stupid. But I am happy that I got a baby!"
Han Ji looked at him and said, "If it weren't for the Duke's talent, Duke Luo wouldn't have come to Northern Xinjiang, and he wouldn't have tried his best."
“It’s just a matter of changing people’s hearts!”
Yang Xuan never felt that he had any domineering aura. Even if he did, he could only achieve it with his own hands.
Jiang He'er asked: "My lord, what should I do with this advice?"
"What do Liu Gong and Song Gong say?"
"They didn't leave a message."
Han Ji said: "This is to show respect."
If they review and leave comments, they regard Luo Cai as a subordinate.
Lao Liu is really worried about me!
Looking back, how about letting A Liang marry his granddaughter?
It seems like his granddaughter looks ordinary!
When the time comes, will A-Liang hate me as an old man for being a random mandarin duck?
That’s all, let’s put this matter aside for now.
Yang Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Just go ahead and do it!"
Jiang Heer wrote four words and handed the document to Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan signed his name, handed the document to her, and said: "Tell Mr. Luo not to look forward or backward. Even if you want to touch Lao Han, I will help him hold him down."
Jiang He'er covered her mouth and snickered, "The Duke is joking."
She noticed that Han Ji's smile was a little forced, and she couldn't help but be startled.
Is this... is it true?
Immediately she laughed again.
But Han Ji couldn't laugh.
What Yang Guogong said seemed to be a joke, but he felt that it was a slap in the face.
Under the rule of officials, except Yang Xuan, no one is immovable!
This is Yang Xuan's statement.
Someone brought tea, Yang Xuan took it, took a sip, pointed at Han Ji, "Give Lao Han a cup."
Han Ji thanked him and then told him about his trip.
"Shen Changhe is not in Taizhou. After I went there, Lin Jun was very happy and sold the grain immediately. I observed it and found no sign of any big moves in Taizhou."
"Shen Changhe isn't here?"
Yang Xuan frowned.
"Yes, the people from Jinyiwei said that he just arrived from Taoxian County to Taizhou and then set off, but he doesn't know where he went."
Yang Xuan pondered, "Where do you think he went?"
Han Ji thought for a long time on the road, "I think Lin Jun used him too harshly. It must be a big deal. But there is no big deal in Taizhou, so it must be nearby."
Yang Xuan closed his eyes and slowly raised his hand. Han Ji lowered his head to drink tea and stopped talking.
After a long time, Yang Xuan said: "After the loss of Kunzhou, it is inevitable for the three forces of Ningxing to join forces. After they join forces, the army will station on the front line of our northern border. It should be noted here that Lin Jun used shady tactics to capture Taizhou. means."
"The Duke is referring to the death of the original governor of Taizhou?"
"He is a good person. It is said that he can control three women in one night. Why did Lin Jun leave after seeing him? Could it be that he is the envoy of the Lord of Hell? There are many secrets in this. If Lin Jun captured Taizhou by means, then, It shows that he wants to expand his power."
Han Ji squinted, "Taizhou is flanked by Neizhou and Longhua Prefecture. Taking Longhua Prefecture will form a pincer attack on our Neizhou state. Neizhou and Kunzhou will also form a pincer attack on Longhua Prefecture. It’s a matter of glaring at each other to see who can wink first.”
"If the situation in Ningxing remains unchanged, Lin Jun will most likely take Longhua Prefecture. But after the three forces in Ningxing join forces, he takes Longhua Prefecture and faces the pressure from our northern Xinjiang. And those three forces are expected to be behind. Just watching the excitement. Lin Jun is not stupid, how can he take chestnuts from the fire for them?"
Yang Xuan sneered, "Lin Jun is just Lin Ya's nephew, but Lin Ya gave him most of her resources. I won't figure out what's going on here, but can Lin Ya's own son watch it?"
"Don't talk about nephews, even if there is such favoritism between biological sons, it can turn a person's brain into a dog's brain!" Han Ji said with a smile.
"Therefore, I judge that Lin Jun's situation with Lin Ya is not good, at least he has many enemies." Yang Xuan rubbed his chin, "Since he is not favored by Lin Ya, the only way is to look for opportunities to strengthen himself. That is tonic!”
"Long Huazhou can't, then..."
Han Ji looked at Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan stretched out his finger and pointed at the northern void.
"I'm thinking about Chenzhou!"
…
Chenzhou.
Don't forget that Wang Bo likes to buy some sheep's noodles and drink them home after leaving the office.
Some people say don’t leave Tangtang. Even if you don’t like the sheep’s face made at home, there is no need to go there in person!
Can't you just ask your servant to buy it?
But Wang Bo said that only the ones he personally selects are delicious.
This is fine for Taotie.
Thus, Wang Biejia became known as Taotie.
After leaving the Yamen, Wang Bo walked out of Zhoushe with a smile on his face.
“Don’t drive if you’ve seen it before!”
The officials saluted and Wang Bo nodded.
Get on your horse and go all the way to the market. The horse is familiar with the way and arrives outside a shop specializing in sheep faces.
"Wang, don't drive!"
The shopkeeper was cutting meat. When he heard the sound of horse hooves, he didn't look up and said, "Please come in and have a seat. The jar of lamb faces will be ready soon. You can take your pick."
"good!"
When Wang Bo went in, the waiter was guarding a big jar.
There is a thick layer of batter on the outside of the big jar. It is said that it was passed down from the shopkeeper's grandfather. Even if there is no seasoning inside, just add water and lamb cheeks, and just cook it dry, you can still cook a pot of extremely delicious lamb cheek meat.
Wang Bo walked over and smelled it, "It smells good."
The guy lowered his head, "Yeah!"
"I'll go to the toilet first!"
"The toilet is at the back. I'll take Wang Bie there!"
The shopkeeper put down the kitchen knife and took Wang Bo to the backyard.
When they arrived at the backyard, Wang Bo yawned and said, "This month's money has been converted into silver. I'll come get it later!"
"How much silver?"
someone behind asked.
Wang Bo said dissatisfied: "You don't have a number?"
"What number?"
There was a smile in that voice.
Wang Bo froze, "Who?"
The man behind him said: "I heard that Wang Biejia was good at this one, so I came to taste it. It tasted good, but since you have such craftsmanship, why do you still need to be corrupt?"
This is Wang Bo's stronghold. All bribes and corruption money from all parties are collected here, converted into gold and silver and taken away.
Wang Bo turned around slowly, "Shen Changhe!?"
Shen Changhe smiled and said, "We said goodbye last time, but I didn't expect that we would see each other again under such circumstances. Farewell Wang, how about we say goodbye?"
Wang Bo gritted his teeth and said, "What are you going to do? No, what are Lin Jun going to do?"
Shen Changhe waved his hand and someone took the shopkeeper down. He walked behind Wang Bo with his hands behind his back and said, "Want to live or die?"
"Tell me what you're saying!" Wang Bo's eyes were fierce.
"Jin Heng!" Shen Changhe said.
"You want me to take action against the envoy?" Wang Bo suddenly trembled, "It must be so. When the governor of Taizhou died inexplicably, I was confused for a long time. Now that I think about it, you must have been the one to kill me! Then Lin Jun
He took control of Taizhou."
"clever!"
There are many smart people, and smart people who know how to shut up will live longer.
"You want Chenzhou?"
Shen Changhe nodded, "You can refuse."
At some point, two men appeared behind Wang Bo.
Wang Bo narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty treats me well. Knowing that I am corrupt, you only scolded me to make me restrain myself! If not, I would have been killed long ago. In this way, they are my reborn parents!"
"Help me kill Jin Heng, and you can keep the corrupt money." Shen Changhe made the conditions.
"Swear, no, I want paperwork!"
Shen Changhe took out a document and handed it over.
Wang Bo took a look and saw that it was about letting him go, and finally Lin Jun's signature. Keep this document and leave it to his confidants. If Lin Jun is ruthless, he can use it to sue and destroy Lin Jun.
reputation.
Wang Bo is greedy, but loyal to Jin Heng.
Therefore, Shen Changhe also prepared many means.
"How?" Shen Changhe asked.
"When will he die?"
Shen Changhe was startled, "Didn't you say that he is your reborn parent?"
