Fu Tang

The official spoke uprightly, standing in the middle with his head held high, waiting for Li Congjia to argue with him. He seemed impulsive when he stood up, but in fact he had already gone through it in his mind, thinking about what Li Congjia might say in advance, The rest is up to you to adapt.

The censor's tongue is generally relatively sharp, and Li Congjia is still young, so he thinks that he will not lose if he debates in court.

So he was waiting, waiting for Li Congjia to speak.

As a result, Li Congjia didn't even raise his eyelids, let alone look at him, and spit out three words: "Drag on."

Censor:? ? ? ? ?

Before he could figure it out, two guards who were obviously dressed differently from the Suzhou army came up and dragged him out like a dead dog.

The whole audience was silent, and many people didn't even react.

At this time, Li Congjia raised his head and looked around arrogantly: "Is there anything else?"

All the ministers including the Dragon King couldn't help shaking their heads. Li Congjia stood up and said to the Dragon King, "In that case, let's go."

The Dragon King said with a wooden face: "Scatter the dynasty."

As soon as these two words came out, the officials in the Southern Tang Dynasty couldn't help but bow their heads. They were afraid that they would laugh out loud. In the Southern Tang Dynasty, eunuchs usually said these two words.

Li Congjia nodded to the Dragon King, maintained a very basic courtesy, and then left the palace with his own people showing off, but the Dragon King didn't feel this kind of politeness at all, he was thinking now, when will he be able to sit in Zen? ?Is it true that you will not be intimidated after the Zen position?

Everyone in the Southern Tang Dynasty returned to Li Congjia's Marquis Mansion, and they started another wave of court meetings. Their own affairs were much more complicated than those in Suzhou.

After sitting down, the eyes of the cabinet ministers fluttered, and finally Zhou Zong was pushed out as a representative, and said after deliberation: "Your Highness just seemed a little..."

Li Congjia laughed before he finished speaking: "Too domineering?"

Zhou Zongxin said, you still know?Originally, we were a bit at odds with each other, but now it's even worse. It's not easy to see a peaceful evolution.

Li Congjia said with disdain, "Why are you arguing with those villagers? Price drop."

Zhou Zong was instantly killed, but he couldn't refute it, because after thinking about it carefully, he actually felt that Li Congjia was right!

What are you arguing with these rural savages from Suzhou?What's the benefit of winning the fight?It also lowered the style and lowered the worth!

Thinking about it this way, no one thinks that what Li Congjia did is wrong. The fact that the quarrel in the court itself is due to the fact that the two sides are evenly matched requires others to judge, and the result of the quarrel needs to be judged. If I quarrel with you, whatever you like to say, just look for an opportunity to deal with you later.

Li Congjia simplifies this step, dragging people out directly in the court, and the fate of dragging out is obviously not very good.

Han Xizai glanced at Zhou Zong and was very helpless, so he had no choice but to say: "Your Highness is too obvious, please be more tactful, be more tactful."

The point is to clean up the other party without arguing with them?No, it's okay to clean up, but it's too simple and rude to have any technical content.

However, in Li Congjia's view, what technical content is required?Dealing with these people requires technical content?Does he dislike his brain cells for not dying enough?

Li Congjia understood Han Xizai's meaning very well, so he said again: "I'm following the Romans, and this is what I have to do when dealing with such barbarians, not to mention the war is coming, we don't have time to talk to them little by little, do we?"

Han Xizai was also defeated, Xiao Yan said directly: "What if they have a backup?"

Li Congjia grinned, and directly asked Chunsheng to take out a small box and said, "They have a backup, so don't I have one?"

Zhou Zong took the box over with a puzzled expression, opened it and saw neatly stacked booklets inside, picked up one and opened it, Zhou Zong couldn't help being speechless for a moment, so he had to pass the things to others.

After everyone had read it, they didn't know what to say. The booklet actually contained the dark history of those officials in Suzhou!And it is a black history that is enough to steal the family and destroy the family.

Li Congjia waited for them to read and said: "During the war, if they didn't do anything, I wouldn't bother to talk to them, but if they insisted on challenging me, we wouldn't be afraid, would we?"

You are so well prepared, what else can the cabinet ministers say?

However, what everyone doesn't understand is where Li Congjia found so much black history. These things may not be able to be collected after several years of collection, but how long has Li Congjia been here?The most important thing is that he has been nesting in Anning City, and has never entered the political center of Suzhou. How did he get these things?

But they are not easy to ask, if they ask, Li Congjia will only give them three words: Wan Lixiang.

Restaurants are the best places to inquire about news. Ordinary restaurants only hear gossip. High-end restaurants like Wan Lixiang can hear more advanced news, but the most important thing is that Yang Xin made friends with him. It is easier to know the dignitaries who have contacts with them.

Do you really think that Li Congjia put Yang Xin in Jiuquan just to make him a cook?

The people stopped persuading Li Congjia after they saw that he was confident, and the most important thing was that they found that they couldn't persuade him either. Li Congjia is now in full swing, and his momentum is strong. Although they have experience and brains, if they appreciate it now, Except for Zhou Zong, they probably didn't have any outstanding achievements. Under such circumstances, they didn't have any position to comfort them on some dispensable issues.

Zhou Zong had a position, but felt that it was not worth opening his mouth once. Shi Xueting was also qualified to persuade him, but he...it was too late for him to stand aside and appreciate Li Congjia's rare domineering, so how could he persuade him?

Li Congjia didn't struggle with this issue, but said, "Let's discuss where to start fighting the rebels."

The meaning of where to fight is to see which city is more worthy of priority. However, these small cities in the Western Regions are similar. Originally, the small cities on the Silk Road were good. However, with the war in the Central Plains, the Silk Road is not as prosperous as it used to be.

Discussing one's own territory is always exciting, and when everyone's discussion was almost over, Li Congjia raised another explosive topic: "I plan to form a firearms army."

"what?"

Everyone looked at Li Congjia in surprise, Li Congjia said calmly: "There is a specialization in the art industry, and the application of firearms will become more frequent in the future, at least for us, and this kind of thing... is not difficult to do. Or I have the advantage of being invincible, but this does not mean that it will continue to be like this in the future, so we must take advantage of the advantage now to understand the usage of this thing."

Li Hongji asked strangely: "We are only using it in the Western Regions now, and it should not be easy to get news from the Central Plains. When they get the news, it will only be that we have already gone back. What is there to worry about?"

Li Congjia said: "The Uyghurs in Ganzhou are right next to us. It is impossible for them to have an eyeliner in Suzhou. Do you think they will know? If Zhou Guo has contacts with the Uyghurs in Ganzhou, it may be easy to know."

But what Li Congjia didn't say was that from the very beginning, what he was guarding against was not the Central Plains people, but the Kara Khanate, which as far as he knew was used to using natural oil as a siege weapon.

Of course, this cannot be said. The premise of making the Kara Khanate hostile is that he also took Khotan, and then he will confront the Kara Khanate. Of course, Li Congjia did not intend to fight Khotan, he just wanted to Let Khotan become a protective umbrella of the Tang Dynasty to prevent the Kara Khanate or Islam from invading the Central Plains.

But if Li Hongji and the others knew, they would definitely not think so. They must have thought that Li Congjia still wanted to take Khotan, and they must be crazy with him. After all, everyone’s goal from the beginning was to gradually expand to the Central Plains, and the reason for fighting Guiyi was because of Guiyi. Taking the initiative to provoke, they don't want to leave such a threat behind them. They fight the Ganzhou Uighurs because the Ganzhou Uyghurs are on their only way back to the Central Plains.

Li Congjia's proposal to build the Firearms Army has aroused heated discussions, but after discussions and discussions, no one objected. Everyone was just thinking about who would lead the Firearms Army. Through the current war, everyone can see that the Firearms Army will be the future The future is boundless, that is a sharp weapon in Datang's hands, who should give such a sharp weapon to?

Of course, Li Congjia can take it personally, but his personal leadership also occupies the top position, and the daily work is still the deputy at the bottom.

However, military power has always been under the control of Li Congjia, so everyone can only wait for Li Congjia to distribute it. It is not easy to use the ministers of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Minister of the Cabinet, and the cabinet ministers, because they still do not have the energy to compete with Li Congjia. Was the firearm researched by Li Congjia?

Everyone looked at Li Congjia eagerly, and at the same time wondered if they could get a share of the action.

Li Congjia knew what they were thinking, but he didn't point it out, just divide it up, anyway, he was working for him, and those who didn't do well had to get out!

Li Congjia turned to look at Shi Xueting and said, "Leave it to the master."

After finishing speaking, he pouted with some regrets, if it wasn't for the sudden arrival of the Guiyi Army, he should be able to call Shi Xueting the national teacher now, those cheating bastards, don't let it go!

Shi Xueting put his hands together and bowed: "Amitabha."

Li Congjia knew that this was his agreement, but the other ministers present all looked at Li Congjia in bewilderment, and then looked at Shi Xueting. There were many lists in their minds just now, but none of them included Shi Xueting. name.

They knew that the Tiance Army was temporarily under Shi Xueting's management, and the cabinet ministers were a little unhappy at first, but after knowing the real origin of the Tiance Army and Shi Xueting's true identity, they no longer had voices of opposition , but the Firearms Army handed it over to him... how can this work?

After everyone was stunned, they couldn't wait to turn around in a hurry, and began to think about what kind of ecstasy soup this monk had poured into the prince!

After all, Li Congjia still wanted to give everyone an explanation, so he said: "Master is quite familiar with firearms, he is the most familiar person in Anning City except me."

Shi Xueting stood aside and watched Li Congjia's nonsense without blinking an eye. Of course he didn't study firearms, but he had been with Li Congjia for a long time. Li Congjia said he knew it, and everyone dared not ask questions even if they were puzzled.

"Let's talk about the formation of the Firearms Army after the master returns from victory." Li Congjia glanced at Chunsheng, who immediately stood up and said, "If there is something to do, let's play, and if there is nothing to do, we will retreat."

Although it is the Hou's Mansion, they forcefully made them feel like Xuanzheng Palace.

The ministers all left, but Shi Xueting stayed. Li Congjia took him to his study, took out a small box and said, "These are the characteristics and principles of current firearms. You can take them with you when you have time." Just take a look, if you don’t have time, come back and ask me if you don’t understand.”

Li Congjia just uttered all the lies, so naturally Shi Xueting is going to help him lie, but he doesn't know if Shi Xueting is willing or not.

Li Congjia looked at Shi Xueting with some anxiety. He hadn't discussed with Shi Xueting about the Firearms Army. He just remembered that Shi Xueting had nothing to do before, and he was worried that Shi Xueting didn't want to lead the Firearms Army.

Fortunately, Shi Xueting did not disappoint him, reached out to take the box and replied: "I will try my best."

Li Congjia let out a long breath and said, "We will be able to discuss the matter of going out at the Dachao meeting the day after tomorrow. Have you got everything ready?"

Shi Xueting nodded: "Everything is ready, and the Tiance Army is also ready, ready to go out at any time."

Li Congjia looked outside and said angrily, "It's so cold, the Guiyi Army is going to die again!"

Winter in the Western Regions always comes earlier. When it was still autumn in the Central Plains, it had already started to snow here.

Fighting in the ice and snow is always not easy, coupled with the strong wind and sand here, and the harsh climate environment, it is a great test for the generals and soldiers, but on the other hand, the Guiyi Army is probably in a hurry to jump the wall, thinking that if this opportunity is missed, it will be gone .

Shi Xueting is actually not willing to go to war, and when he has that time, he hopes to spend more time with Li Congjia, but now fighting is probably an important way for him to gain his sense of presence, and he can't do otherwise.

Once again at the court meeting, after the Suzhou officials took their seats, they found a relatively short table next to Li Congjia's seat, where a young man was sitting with a brush in his hand, as if waiting to record something.

Could it be the historian?But Suzhou has its own historian, what does the extra one do?

Everyone was very curious, but they didn't dare to say much. In fact, last time Li Congjia dragged people down neatly and calmed everyone down.

The big issue discussed today was whether to fight or not, because the Guiyi Army had already conquered several cities, the court had to bring this matter up again, and in the end it was to discuss whether to negotiate a peace.

However, it was useless for those ministers to discuss it lively. Li Congjia sat there and said two words: "No."

All the things they discussed were called back at once, and the Dragon King sat on it and continued to remain silent.

The prime minister of Suzhou couldn't help but stand up and said: "The Marquis of Anning disagrees with the negotiation, so did the Marquis of Anning send someone to fight?"

Li Congjia raised the corner of his mouth: "Yes."

There was peace in the court, and everyone looked at Li Congjia in disbelief. They didn't seem to believe that Li Congjia would be so generous all of a sudden.

Of course, Li Congjia would not be so generous. He said, "The city I conquered is my fief. Do you have any objection?"

The officials in Suzhou immediately got a clever idea, and what they took down was his fiefdom, so according to the combat effectiveness of the Marquis of Anning...if they kill the entire Guiyi army and occupy Guazhou and Shazhou, wouldn't it be better than Suzhou's territory? Still big?When the time comes... the minister is strong and the master is weak?

Although the minister is strong and the master is weak now, it is still different after all!

Seeing that everyone was going to get angry, the Dragon King said quickly: "I agree, the city that the Marquis of Anning conquered is his fiefdom."

Li Congjia was satisfied. Anyway, this Dragon King's IQ is online. In this case, he would not be stingy with a compliment: "Dragon King is wise."

The Dragon King smiled wryly in his heart, he didn't want to be so wise.

The Dragon King's words instantly became a ticking time bomb, and the minister of the Ministry of War immediately stood up and said, "I object!"

Li Congjia said lazily: "It's useless for you to object."

Hubu Shangshu also stood up to express his objection, and Li Congjia touched his chin and said, "Anyone else object?"

His behavior makes people confused, but how can it be possible that there are not many people who can be a minister to help wave the flag?

When it was almost time for people to stand up, Li Congjia glanced at it and found that it was okay and there were not many people, so he couldn't help saying: "Is there anyone who knows how to be afraid?"

After he finished speaking, he turned to Xu Liang who was beside him and said, "Stand up and write it down."

Everyone: Shocked.jpg

What the hell are you keeping a black account on the spot?

Although everyone in the officialdom has a black account in his heart or in his box, it is usually recorded secretly, and no one will read it except his cronies. However, Li Congjia keeps a black account so openly that everyone has no regrets. Know how to react.

Hubu Shangshu, Bingbu Shangshu and their disciples stared at the pen in Xu Liang’s hand, their eyes were protruding. They really wanted to go over and tear up the paper, but when they looked at Shi Xueting beside Li Congjia, they didn’t dare, This monk's force value is too high, and someone has experienced it before.

Under great pressure, Xu Liang wrote down the names of all the people. After writing, he inexplicably felt that he had become a traitor. He could not help touching his heart. The fate of life is really amazing. Believe it or not, I can still be a villain!

After Li Congjia saw that Xu Liang had finished his memorization, he stood up and said, "I'm not feeling well, so I'll leave first, everyone, see you later."

Before Li Congjia left, he smiled at the two ministers, and the backs of those two were covered in cold sweat, and the one who was also sweating was the Dragon King sitting on the seat.

He also knew Li Congjia well, how could he let him go when he had written down the name?But he couldn't think of how Li Congjia would deal with these people, but it didn't stop him from looking at them with dead eyes.

In the next few days, Li Congjia sent Shi Xueting and Li Hongji away, and dropped the Ziting Army by the way.

Then he started gearing up to deal with people, submitting memorials and black histories one by one, which shocked a lot of people's eyes. Everyone never expected that he would go through the formal procedure.

But this formal procedure... is a bit weak, all the evidence is true, but Li Congjia didn't rush to clean it up, but broke it one by one, starting with Hubu Shangshu, and then spreading to his family.

Just kidding, do you really think that Li Congjia's retaliation will only target one person?His goal is basically those big families entrenched in Suzhou. If these families are not uprooted, he will never really want to control Suzhou.

Of course, Suzhou's execution ability is not very good, so Li Congjia doesn't mind letting his men go down to help search the house and arrest people.

From the Minister of the Ministry of Households to the Minister of the Ministry of War, their own family connected with their in-laws died out in a short period of time, and the whole Suzhou was panicked for a while.

The Dragon King really couldn't bear it any longer, so he had to ask Li Congjia aggrievedly: "Marquis An Ning, can you leave some people for me? If this continues, who will work for me?"

Li Congjia's ruthless attack this time made the hall half empty.

Li Congjia said with a cold face: "What? They broke the law, and I arrested them wrong?"

Of course the Dragon King didn't dare to say that, he just said: "But there are always people who have to work."

"My people can't work?" Li Congjia looked contemptuous: "With your efficiency, I can't stand it!"

The Dragon King thought about the abilities of his own people, and compared with Li Congjia's men, he still...really lacks confidence.

Li Congjia said again: "You don't have to worry. Four of the thirteen families in Suzhou are missing, and there are still nine left. Are you still worried that no one will use them?"

The Dragon King looked at Li Congjia desperately. Of course he was not worried that no one would use him. What he was worried about was that the entire officialdom would be shaken and Suzhou would become unstable!What if there is a war outside and a fight inside?

However, what was he afraid of? When the Dragon King was trying to persuade Li Congjia, he received the news: the Imperial Forest Army is gathering to advance into the palace, and the banner is the side of the Qing emperor!

After the Dragon King found out, his eyes went dark. He was willing to be Li Congjia's puppet because Li Congjia promised him benefits, but if someone else killed Li Congjia, he would still be a puppet, but he might not be so comfortable.

The Dragon King looked anxiously at Li Congjia and asked, "What should I do?"
