Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

If Xue Rengui is afraid of trouble, is there anyone in this world who is not afraid of trouble?There are many legends about Xue Rengui in later generations, leaving behind "a good strategy to stop fighting", "three arrows to fix Tianshan", "bravely conquering Liaodong", "benevolent government of Koryo", "loving the people and Xiangzhou City", "taking off the hat and retreating all enemies" and so on. allusion. "New Tang Book", according to this book, during the period of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, in the first year of Longshuo, at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, Tie Le's army was in a stalemate with the Tang cavalry. Xue Rengui broke the deadlock at a critical moment and shot three arrows in succession, killing the opponent. The three most important generals, so the morale of the enemy army was greatly reduced. Without the leader, they retreated without fighting.

Looking at Xue Rengui's resume, it seems that this guy seems to be cheating. In fact,

Xue Rengui's background was not very good. He was born in Shanxi. Although he was a descendant of the general family, when Xue Rengui arrived, his family was not as good as before. Therefore, Xue Rengui was very poor in his childhood and the conditions were very hard.Although he studied hard and practiced martial arts diligently, he was in troubled times at that time, so he was not discovered by the court at all and served the country. He had to change jobs and become a farmer. He was still an unsuccessful person in his 30s. Thanks to him Xue Rengui's wife persuaded him to seize the opportunity by himself, and Xue Rengui was drafted into the army.Not long after he entered the army, he made a great contribution. During the 19th year of Zhenguan's campaign against Goryeo, the generals of Xue Rengui's army were surrounded by the enemy. The head of the leader was hung on the horse. The Goryeo army was in chaos for a while, and the Tang army successfully won the battle.

But he actually became the commander-in-chief of the army. In fact, he relied on a mountain torrent. After the Battle of Goryeo, Xue Rengui was sent to guard the Xuanwu Gate. In the year, there was a mountain torrent, and the water would soon reach the door. Xue Rengui risked his life to report to the emperor. Emperor Gaozong was grateful for his kindness, and liked Xue Rengui even more.When Xue Rengui led the army alone, he was 44 years old. Like Su Dingfang and the white-robed general Chen Qingzhi, he was a late bloomer.However, they all have one feature in common, that is, their backgrounds are slightly inferior.

Chen Ying frowned tightly, looked at Ma Zhou and said, "What do you think of what Xue Li said?"

Ma Zhou naturally understood that what Chen Ying asked was the assassin. Of course, Ma Zhou also knew that Xue Li's analysis was very accurate.

In fact, even though Chen Ying is far away in Anxi, there have been constant small actions against him, such as the Du Hongye incident and this assassination.

In fact, it was all intentional or unintentional, and the purpose of attracting Li Jiancheng was to create a gap between Li Jiancheng and Chen Ying.

Unknowingly, Chen Ying has now grown into a behemoth.The interest group headed by Chen Ying, its core members include Qizhou Luo family, Qizhou Duan family, Luoyang Zhang family, and Lingzhou Liu family, Shuozhou six tyrants. Of course, they have a good relationship with Chen Ying. Hongnong Yang and Longyou Li.

Although Li Jiancheng is the patriarch of the Li family, in terms of relationship with the royal family, Li Jiancheng is probably not as good as Chen Ying. After all, Chen Ying is the soul of the Datang Royal Business Alliance and the Datang Central Asia Development Corporation.

The royal family of the Li family relies on the Central Asia Development Company, and the income they receive every year is more than ten times their salary.Unless there is a big right and wrong, the Li royal family is definitely willing to maintain a good relationship with Chen Ying.

After all, no one wants to offend their God of Wealth.

Ma Zhou thought about it, looked at Chen Ying and said, "My lord, you should go back to Chang'an. Anxi has basically formed a certain situation. In a short time, Datang must solve internal problems."

Chen Ying nodded and said, "It's time to go back!"

……

Twilight is deep, and the street market is surrounded by a faint layer of twilight.

The shop has hung up the lanterns, and the twilight is getting darker, and the lanterns are getting brighter.

Xue Li was packing his bags in the wine and food shop, preparing to go to the military camp to report.

His wife, Liu Yingchun, helped Xue Rengui tidy up, and said doubtfully, "This Chen Linggong seems to have trusted you, but he can use this relationship to find a suitable assignment."

Xue Rengui said: "Just after saving people, I reached out to ask for an official, and now I'm done."

Although the official position of General Ning Yuan is a bit small, at best he can be regarded as a regiment-level officer of later generations.However, in real history, Xue Rengui didn't get this level of official position until he finished the Battle of Goguryeo.

As the saying goes, there are people in the imperial court who are easy to be officials, because Chen should be concerned about Xue Rengui, so he should skyrocket, at least no one dares to suppress him.

Liu Yingchun suddenly hugged Xue Rengui's waist, and murmured: "You have to be good, our mother and I depend entirely on you!"

Xue Rengui was taken aback for a moment: "Mothers?"

Liu Yingchun let go of Xue Rengui's hand, stroked her belly and said, "It's two!"

Xue Rengui was overjoyed and said, "You have it?"

Liu Yingchun nodded and said, "It's almost two months!"

……

The Zheng family in Xingyang is a relatively unlucky family.As early as the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, they bet on Wang Shichong by mistake.

In fact, this decision can not be wrong.Wang Shichong's original surname is Zhi, and he is a Hu from Xinfeng (now Fengzhou, north of Lintong, Shanxi). He has no strong family to rely on.After sitting in the world, he will definitely hug Xingyang Zheng's thigh tightly.

Later, Wang Shichong fell from power and began to hug Li Jiancheng's thigh again.Ordinarily, Li Jiancheng became the emperor, and he should not be able to lose the Xingyang Zheng family.However, when Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng streamlined the officials, they relied on the relationship of Queen Zheng Guanyin and became the vanguard of the house collapse.

This made Li Jiancheng disgusting, and Zheng Guanyin is also a woman who knows the general situation and considers the overall situation, and did not take too much care of the Zheng family in Xingyang because of her natal family relationship.

Zheng Rentai, the former general of Zuowuwei, was at home with free writing.

The point is that Zheng Rentai is too young. As a political official, he is only 45 years old, so he can be regarded as young and promising. How can he feel at ease now that his age is being idle?

At this time, Zheng Rentai took advantage of his 45th birthday to entertain Taiyuan Wang, Qinghe Cui, Wenxi Pei, Hedong Liu, Boling Cui, Fanyang Lu, Zhaojun Li and Taiyuan Wen. Waiting for the representative of the aristocratic family.

After drinking for three rounds, Zheng Rentai waved his hand, causing more than a dozen singers in the hall to retreat, raised the wine glass and said: "You are all busy people with daily affairs, Zheng is honored to invite you to have a drink together today. It is really lucky for three lives, please!"

Taiyuan Wen's representative, Wen Daya, toasted and said with a smile: "Duke Zheng is too polite. In this land of Henan, we need to rely on Gong Gong a lot, please!"

After everyone drank it down, Zheng Rentai put down his wine glass, sighed and said, "Things have come to this point, it is already a situation where the arrow is on the wall and has to be done."

If you are careful, you will definitely find that this gathering is actually a gathering of the remnants of Prince Qin's residence.

Whether it's Zheng Rentai, whether it's Wen Daya, or Xue Yuanjing, they are all Li Shimin's people.

Of course, there are many people who are not Li Shimin, but it is not important anymore. The important thing is that the enemy of an enemy is a friend.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Zheng Rentai was very helpless, and they had already thought of the way they could think of, uniting officials who could unite and forcing the palace collectively, this was their greatest confidence in the literary struggle.

However, Zheng Rentai and the others overlooked one thing, and that was human nature.

Human nature has always been selfish.Originally, if the script was really as Wang Renbiao and the others rehearsed, more than 3000 officials and petty officials who were favored by the family, civil and military officials, and generals at all levels, more than 1 officials collectively resigned.

Then, Li Jiancheng has nothing to do.

However, forcing the palace turned out to be a joke in the end.It was agreed to force the palace together, but in the end, more than 600% of the people did not move. If not, the aristocratic family would definitely succeed.He still has a solution for more than 1 officials, but for more than [-] officials, Li Jiancheng can only compromise.

At this moment, Lawyer Pei said coldly: "As the saying goes, death is the most important thing, and the family members are so innocent? How can the love be so unbearable!"

Hearing this, everyone felt sympathy in their hearts.Li Jiancheng was originally a generous person, but when he ascended the throne, he changed his appearance.The first is to streamline the officials and abolish two-thirds of the Chang'an capital officials.Then the army was abolished, and the clan was demoted.

Not only is the clan descended to nobility, but the key is that at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, local tyrants and aristocratic clans surrendered to Li Tang with prefectures and counties. Which one would not be awarded the title of Duke of the State or Duke of the County?Just like Guo Zihe, he took the five counties of Lingzhou to surrender to Li Tang, and was named Duke of Jinhe County.Just five counties in one duke, this reward cannot be said to be insignificant.However, after being deposed, the Duke of Jinhe County was demoted to Marquis of Linhe County.

Of course, Guo Zihe is not a prominent family, nor is he aristocratic.The key is that after the first year of Wude, under the leadership of Taiyuan Wang, Qinghe Cui and other Shandong aristocratic clans, the Tang Dynasty quickly annexed more than 100 states from Guanzhong, relying not on Hengdao and Ma Qiang, but on the aristocratic clans. Influence.

At the beginning, the noble titles obtained by the aristocratic families, except for the children of the direct line.Most of them were demoted, so let's just demote them. In fact, the aristocratic families really don't need the little salary from the imperial court to live.The key point is that Li Jiancheng's investigation of the shady households is digging the foundation of the aristocratic family.

The foundation of the aristocratic families is divided into three aspects.The first is land, the second is population, the third is interest, and the fourth is commerce.

However, Li Jiancheng made a big effort to organize households for the people, turning all the shadow households of the aristocratic clans into ordinary people, especially because the tax rate collected by the imperial court was extremely low, and the common people were naturally unwilling to rent the land of the aristocratic clans.Moreover, the interest rate of Datang Tongli Bank is extremely low, less than one-third of the interest rate of the aristocratic family.

Whether it is business, money loans or land, the losses of the aristocratic family members are extremely heavy.

As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.Now the aristocratic family has been driven to a desperate situation.

Especially forcing the palace, this is a double-edged sword.The aristocratic families united to force Li Jiancheng into the palace, and more than 600 officials resigned. Although they were happy, the influence of the aristocratic clans on the court was also extremely weak.

After Zheng Rentai pondered for a while, he continued: "If it is possible, no one wants to go to this step."

For those shady households without household registration, they are actually slaves of the aristocratic family. They all depend on the aristocratic family to survive, and each family controls tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.In particular, the Wang family in Taiyuan controlled more than 13 shade households with a population of more than 60.
