Chastity Layman

Cheng Chumo reminded Qin Lang of his handling, "Will it be too late if you do this? 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 has not been fought much, the Turks are just a group of dragons without a leader, and the overall strength has not lost much.

In order to appease these Turkic people as quickly as possible, Li Shimin finally chose Wen and Yang's policy of detention, preferential treatment and resettlement. 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, and even attack Dangxiang and Tuyuhun, and expedition to the Western Regions.

If it had been too tough at the beginning, I am afraid that the northern Turkic people would not settle down so quickly, and the border has always been in chaos, and it would be difficult for Datang to pull out his hand to use it in other areas.

But now, Tuyuhun and Dangxiang have surrendered, and the Tang flag has been planted in the Western Regions.

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

"It's a little unethical to do so." Wu Shisheng said.

"Why are they so unreasonable? Just like these Turkic people who rebelled, if they kept their own, the imperial court would naturally keep their promises. But they broke the law first, so naturally it is no wonder that Tang Dynasty turned his face and was ruthless!"

Wen Yanbo and Yang Shidao had not been prime ministers in Zhengshitang for a short time, and their greatest political asset was the appeasement policy towards the Turkic people. Now that Qin Lang wanted to abolish this policy, he actually wanted to veto the achievements of Wen and Yang when they were prime ministers.

Once his plan is successful and Wen Yang's policy is 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.

Li Ji looked at the young man in front of him, and 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 inspector Sikong, the prince Zhan Shi, and Tong Zhongshu's disciples made peace with each other.

"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.

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.

He couldn't see the kind of sharpness that must be shown on his body, and he seemed 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 Wagangzhai, and later the hero 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!"

Li Ji couldn't help laughing out loud at this flattery.

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.

Of course, the rank of third rank is 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, not to mention that 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's 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 Qiongcheng bit the golden bull Jinda, Huang Junhan, Guo Xiaoke and others had smooth official 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 has encountered a lot of Turkic horse thieves during his journey. 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 the counties and counties along the coast of Guanhai are not in the coastal area of ​​​​Hedong, so they are not within the scope of his observation province.

"It is true that there are quite a few Turkic people in the Fen-Jin area who made rebellions, gathered in the jungle, or took over the mountains as robbers, but after entering Bingzhou, the situation is very different. No Turkic people made rebellions here, which shows the merits of my uncle."

Bingzhou is the Governor's Mansion, and the prince is remote. In fact, Li Ji, the long history, is acting as the agent to preside over the affairs of the Governor's Mansion, and concurrently serves as the governor 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 come and see 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 made an engagement for his son to the Taiyuan Wang family.

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 give up martial arts, but he also bought a marriage with the Wang family, and he put down his body and begged Qin Lang to bring Li Gan.

"Da Lang 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 hopes that his son can become an official soon, so that he can pave the way for his son while he is young.

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

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 Shunwen Shunsi, 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, but it is very hard."

"Please Wei Gong 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 Li Shunwen changed his name to Wu Shunwen.

Qin Lang directly brought a pen and paper at the banquet, and wrote a conscription document to Li Gan in front of Li Ji, and directly recruited Li Gan to enlist in the military of the yashoku government for him, 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 the fact that although Shangzhu Kingdom regards the second rank, if it really wants to confer a position, it can only confer a sixth rank official, and it must be at least five years before it is eligible.

Li Ji was very happy with Qin Lang who gave face, and insisted on getting married with the Qin family, saying that his 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 initiative to show his love for marriage, Qin Lang didn't directly refuse, but he didn't agree directly, but only said that he had to go to Xinjiannan to ask the old man about it first.

"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.
