Chapter 758: Shigeru

  Chapter 758 Mao Gong

   Cheng Chumo reminded Qin Lang of his handling, "Will it be too late? These Turkic people were moved inward by His Majesty's order."

"In the territory of the Tang Dynasty, is it possible that these barbarians are superior to the people of the Tang Dynasty?" Qin Lang snorted coldly. He was an opponent of Wen Yang's policy in the court. Excessive treatment of Turkic people. Although he also opposed Fang Xuanling's policy of dispersing Turkic people and relocating them to various places, and turning them from herding to farming, it did not mean that he supported Wen and Yang's excessive preferential treatment policy.

"Wen Yang has long since resigned as Prime Minister, and the situation has changed over time. This policy should also be abolished." Qin Lang said bluntly. At the beginning of the Eastern Turks' destruction, although Xieli was captured and Tuli surrendered, the Northern Expedition continued. The war was not fought much, the Turkic people just had no leader, and the overall strength did not suffer much loss.

  In order to appease these Turkic people as quickly as possible, Li Shimin finally chose the policy of detention, preferential treatment and resettlement of Wen and Yang. To a certain extent, this policy did appease the chaotic and restless Turkic people at that time, and the border quickly stabilized.

   This also provided a good environment for Datang to control Monan later, and even attack Dangxiang and Tuyuhun for expeditions to the Western Regions.

  If it was too tough at the beginning, I am afraid that the Turks in the north will not settle down so quickly, and the border will still be chaotic, and it will be difficult for Datang to use it in other areas.

  But now, Tuyuhun and Dangxiang have all surrendered, and the Tang flag has also been inserted into the Western Regions.

  Datang is now turning his face, and the Turkic people can't afford to turn the waves.

   "It's a bit impolite to do so." Wu Shisheng said.

   "Why are they so insincere? Just like these Turkic people who rebelled, if they kept their own, the court would naturally keep their promises, but they violated the law first, so naturally it is no wonder that Datang is ruthless!"

  Wen Yanbo and Yang Shidao have not been prime ministers in Zhengshitang for a short time. Their greatest political asset is the appeasement policy towards the Turks. Now that Qin Lang wants to abolish this policy, he actually wants to veto the achievements of Wen and Yang when they were prime ministers.

  Once his plan succeeds and Wen Yang's policies are dismissed, it will be almost impossible for Wen Yang to pay a visit to the prime minister again.

  Taiyuan.

Qin Lang was greeted by Li Ji when he came out of the city. The two had no friendship, but after all, the Qin family was also a general of Wagang back then. Li Ji, the big man in the gang, has no identity.

  With this kind of incense, it is quite polite to meet now.

  Looking at the young man in front of him, Li Ji couldn't believe that this was Qin Qiong's concubine. When he was in Wagang, Qin Qiong had several sons, and this was just a very inconspicuous concubine. Who would have expected that the little luotou back then would have such a high position and authority now.

  The school inspector Sikong, the prince Zhanshi, and Tong Zhongshumenxia Pingzhangshi.

   "Qin Lang met Uncle Shi!"

   Facing Bingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Chief Shi and Bingzhou Governor Li Ji, Qin Lang greeted him as a junior. Among the influential figures in the late Sui Dynasty, Li Ji was very famous, but he was still very young.

  At this time, he was only in his thirties.

  This Cao Guogong, who started killing at the age of fourteen, came from killing people in troubled times, and now in his thirties, he is very calm and introverted.

  You can't see the kind of sharpness that must be exposed, and the whole person seems to be a civil servant.

   He laughed so hard that he couldn't tell that this was a troubled hero who used to kill people like hemp.

  The son of the richest man in Caozhou back then, the third head of the Wagang Village, and later the tycoon who controlled a large area of ​​Henan, and then Guitang.

"When I was in Beijing, I often heard sages say that Yang Guang had no morals and could not be appointed as good men. He only knew how to build the Great Wall to guard against the Turks. He was really confused. However, the sage appointed Cao Guogong to guard Bingzhou. The Great Wall also!"

   This flattery made Li Ji laugh out loud.

But this one didn't really take this word to heart. If he really thought that he was better than the Great Wall, then when Li Jing returned to the Tang Dynasty, he would be treated with such courtesy. Why did the official position become smaller and smaller after ten years in the Tang Dynasty? ?

When he first joined Li Mi, he held half of Li Mi's old soldiers and horses. Li Yuan wanted to make him king, and later he became the head of Daxingtai. Doctor Lu, this is only the third rank, and he was added just after the Zhengdan Dynasty this year. Originally, he was only the third rank doctor Yinqing Guanglu.

  The rank of the third rank is certainly not low, after all, the position of prime minister is only third rank.

   But the problem is that there were hundreds of his subordinates in Wagang back then, Duke Hou Bo of Guogong County, and there were also a lot of third-rank ones at this level, let alone Qin Qiong became a captain and worshiped the prime minister. Cheng Yao, Jinniu Jinda, etc. are all governors, even Li Daliang is the governor of the capital, Wu Guang, Li Junxian, etc. are even generals, and even the second generation of Wagang, like Qin Lang, are the third divisions of Kaifu Yitong , The inspector Sikong is gone.

   It is impossible to say that Li Ji didn't have any thoughts in his heart.

   But what can I say?

  It was the status of the leading elder brother that restricted Li Ji's development in the Tang Dynasty. Qin Qiong Cheng bit the golden bull to advance to Huang Junhan Guo Xiaoke and others had smooth careers one after another, but he had a difficult road.

  But thinking about it the other way around, those people with the same status as him back then, Du Fuwei, Luo Yigao, Liu Jizhen, etc., were all given surnames and crowned kings like him, and he was the only one who was still alive. He was able to survive, perhaps not because of his great merit, but because he refused to be crowned king and only accepted the duke of the state. This is the key to his life.

But both father and son are the dukes of the state, Li Ji and his son have to be given the country's surname, Qin Qiong and his father are not given the country's surname, they just become the emperor's relatives, but Qin Lang and his father are the emperor's confidantes, and he, Li Ji, has always been held in use.

   "I heard that Sanlang came across a lot of Turkic horse thieves who made trouble along the way. It's all because of my ineffective governance and dereliction of duty."

   "Did I meddle in my own business all this way?" Qin Lang asked with a smile.

  Qin Lang is an envoy to observe customs, but Guanhai is a coastal counties, and Hedong is not coastal, so it is not within the scope of his observation province.

   "There were indeed quite a few Turkic rebellions in the Fen-Jin area. They gathered in the jungle, or occupied the mountains as robbers. However, after entering Bingzhou, the situation was very different. There were no Turkic rebellions here, which shows the merits of my uncle."

  Bingzhou is the Governor's Mansion of the Metropolitan Government, and the prince remotely leads it. In fact, Li Ji, the long history, acts as the agent to preside over the affairs of the Governor's Mansion, and concurrently serves as the Inspector of Bingzhou.

  However, although it is the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, it does not manage the entire Hedong.

Although the military ranks of Bingzhou's Dudufu, Lan, Yi, and Shizhou's four prefectures are Dadufu, they do not have direct jurisdiction over Daizhou Dudufu and Yunzhong Dudufu. , the emperor will authorize the coordination power of the Metropolitan Government, which is usually a parallel relationship.

  After entering the city, Li Ji specially hosted a family banquet for Qin Lang.

  During the banquet, Li Ji asked his sons Li Zhen, Li Siwen, and Li Sishun to visit him.

"This is the boss, Li Zhen. He will be sixteen soon after fifteen, and he's still playing around all day long. At Sanlang's age, he has already made a fortune in peace and prosperity." Li Ji pointed at his eldest son and belittled him, and then hoped Qin Lang took Li Zhen along with him.

Qin Lang knew very well that this Li Zhen was actually tall and quite capable. It is said that according to Li Ji's intention, he abandoned martial arts and prose. , so he also avoided letting his son take the road of martial arts.

  In order to make his son's future smoother, he has even married the Taiyuan Wang family and betrothed the Taiyuan Wang family for his son.

In order to make this marriage for his son, Li Ji paid a lot of money. He not only gave the Wang family a lot of family money, but also took care of all aspects of the Wang family. In the end, he also remarried one of his widowed sisters to the Wang family in Taiyuan. Continuing, after that man got married, Li Ji left a lot of relationships and helped him become the county magistrate of Langya.

  For the sake of his son, Li Ji also worked hard with good intentions. Not only did he let his son abandon martial arts, but he also changed marriages to buy a marriage with the Wang family, and he put down his body and begged Qin Lang to bring Li Gan.

   "Dalang is still young, why don't you send him to the Imperial College?"

   "It's not too young." Li Ji said, Li Gan had been in the Imperial Academy, but Li Ji still hoped that Qin Lang could conscript his son into his shogunate.

Although Guan Customs Envoy is only an envoy, the standard is very high, and the staff and staff come from key departments such as the three provinces and six ministries of the imperial court. This experience is also very valuable. The important thing is that this is not a good opportunity to become an official.

There are many ways for officials of the Tang Dynasty to become officials, such as door shade, imperial examination, recommendation, recruiting, etc. The imperial examination is a new way to become an official in recent years. And among the various subjects of the imperial examination, Jinshi is now more valued.

As for getting into an official position, although it is the right way for a disciple like Li Gan, the rules are stricter. It takes eight years for seniority to be regarded as the official release of Shi Brown.

  Li Ji hoped that his son would become an official as soon as possible, so that he could pave the way for his son while he was young.

  If Qin Lang enlisted Li Gan to enter the court, he would also be an official on the right path. With Qin Lang taking care of him, he would have a good opportunity to practice and avoid at least five years of waiting for the status of a reserve official with seniority.

  Although Li Gan was only a few years younger than Qin Lang, but at this time he stood aside with a respectful attitude of a latecomer, compared to his two concubine younger brothers, Shun Wen Shun Si, who was indeed very stable.

   "Is Dalang willing to come to my shogunate to work? I have to travel all over the states along the coast for this errand, but it is very hard."

   "Mr. Wei, please give me a chance." Li Gan said seriously.

Qin Lang nodded. This is the superiority of noble children. Wanting to be an official is actually a matter of one sentence. There are many ways for Li Gan to become an official. You don't have to find him. They just want to find someone who can do things. A place, not a place to dawdle.

He has no impression of Li Gan, but he knows that Li Gan has a son who is still very powerful. Wu Zetian rebelled against Wu Zetian and changed his surname back to Xu, and his surname was Jingye. Although he was defeated in the end, Li Ji's coffin was not even held , was dug up and opened the coffin.

  As for Li Shunwen standing next to him looking around, this kid later betrayed his nephew Xu Jingye, so Wu Zetian gave him the surname Wu, and changed his name from Li Shunwen to Wu Shunwen.

  Qin Lang brought a pen and paper directly at the banquet, and wrote a conquest document to Li Gan in front of Li Ji, and directly conscripted Li Gan to envoy him to the yashoku government to join the military, and was dismissed from the ninth rank.

Although it is the lowest official position in the Liu, it is also a real official position. Generally, the sons and daughters of honored relatives serve as servants in the three guards. In name, they are of the seventh or eighth rank, but in fact they are officially appointed as official officials after five to eight years in Fanshang Suwei. At that time, it is often only awarded to a subordinate of the ninth rank.

  This is like Shangzhu Kingdom, although it regards the second rank, but if it really wants to confer a position, it can only be awarded the sixth rank official, and it must be qualified after at least five years.

  Li Ji was very happy for Qin Lang, who gave face, and insisted on getting married with the Qin family, saying that the second son Li Siwen hadn't married yet, and wanted to ask the Qin family to marry Qin Lang's younger sister, so as to marry Qin and Jin.

  Faced with Li Ji's proactive marriage request, Qin Lang didn't directly refuse, but he didn't agree directly, but only said that he had to go to Xin Jiannan to ask the old man about it.

   "Shubao and I have been brothers for many years, he will definitely agree to this matter." Li Ji laughed, and it seemed that this matter was done.

  Li Ji's family was originally married to the Taiyuan Wang family, and the Qin family was also married to the Boling Cui family. Now the Qin and Li families are married again. Although Li Ji lives in Taiyuan, it is obvious that he is not willing to be lonely.
