Fu Tang

Chapter 173

When Li Congjia saw what Pang Qian brought to him, he wondered for a moment whether he had time-traveled.

But soon he came back to his senses, glanced around, and suppressed his urge to rush over to hug Pang Qian and cry—this guy is so cute, and through his dry description, the toilet Get it out!

Yes, it is the flush toilet of the later generations. Although the current one looks yellow and dirty, it is not as high-end as the later generations, but...it is a flush toilet!

Since passing through, Li Congjia was forced to do as the Romans do. After so many years, he married Bai Fumei and reached the pinnacle of his life, but he is still using a very primitive sanitation system. Who dares to believe it!

Li Congjia originally mentioned it casually, but Pang Qian seemed very interested, so he asked in detail. If Li Congjia knew how to make a toilet, he wouldn't have to endure it for so many years!

After finishing speaking, Li Congjia thought for a while whether he could deduce from this stuff that he was not from this era, and then he just forgot about it.

I never expected that Pang Qian would actually make it. The only shortcoming is that it is still too simple. However, it has already taken shape, so let’s continue to improve it.

Li Congjia now feels that the most correct thing to do in this life is to let Pang Qian go to the Ministry of Industry. Such a talent is really rare in a century.

As a result, at this time, Xiuguo sent a letter of credence saying that he hoped that Datang would repatriate Pang Qian, because Pang Qian was a "sinner".

Of course, is it a matter of a sinner or a word from those in power?Even Li Congjia couldn't easily hand over Pang Qian before, and now...it's even more impossible now. He is going to study more with Pang Qian to see if he can improve his living standard!

Datang didn't pay attention to Xiuguo's credentials at all, and Xiuguo couldn't do anything about it. Li Congshan now felt very overwhelmed.

He has been a prince and has been in contact with national government affairs, but when he was a prince, the situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty has gone from bad to worse, not to mention that Li Jing is still there, and he has not been a prince for a long time. In fact, he is very bad at it.

What is even worse is fighting for power. Everyone below is more powerful than him. It is also a pity that these people are not convinced by anyone, so he is allowed to sit on the throne. Otherwise, as long as one has the upper hand, he will be invincible hand, that day is his death day.

It’s uncomfortable to be worried every day. Li Congshan can’t sleep well every day, and every time he hears about Datang, he feels very uncomfortable. Many times he shouts in his heart: It should be mine. !

In fact, in the depths of his subconscious mind, he also fully understands that Datang has nothing to do with him from the beginning to the end. It was Li Congjia who went to the Western Regions to fight him, but why?

They are all the sons of Li Jing. Li Congjia went to the Western Regions without a trace and was able to establish a territory. Li Hongji can be resurrected after death. , but he is not stable, and may die at any time.

Jealousy has made Li Congshan's heart extremely distorted. What he does every day is to break the news about Li Congjia.

However, he and Li Congjia got along seriously for more than ten years, and those ten years were the most gentle period of Li Congjia, reading and writing, enjoying life, being loved by his parents, loving as a husband and wife, there was nothing else for him to reveal.

Li Congjia didn't refute or ridicule Li Congshan when he saw Li Congshan jumping, as if he didn't hear it. After all, every time Li Congshan went crazy, the state-owned towns fell into the hands of Datang.

Li Congjia looked at the map and said, "According to this rhythm, Gao Huaide will be able to reach Youdu Mansion next year."

Youdu Mansion is the current capital of Xiuguo, but Li Congjia prefers to call it Beijing. Seeing Beijing become someone else's capital, to be honest, he still feels a little awkward.

Shi Xueting shook his head and said: "Khitan will not sit idly by."

Li Congjia made calculations, frowned and said, "Let Pan Mei take some people to patrol the border. It's almost winter again, maybe the Khitans will take the opportunity to attack again."

There are still many nomadic tribes in Khitan, and some of these tribes don't necessarily obey Yeluxian's words very much. However, Li Congjia said that he will not take care of so many. As long as there are surprise attacks by Khitan people on the border, he will directly count it on Yeluxian's head , can just take advantage of this opportunity to drive Khitan out of the customs.

Shi Xueting said: "If you can wait, it's best not to force it now. Datang has just started to improve. If there is a big war again, I am afraid that the government and the opposition will oppose it."

Li Congjia asked back: "I'm not in a hurry to fight Nan Zhou, what else do they want?"

Shi Xueting said helplessly: "Perhaps everyone would prefer you to play Nan Zhou."

Li Congjia shook his head. Even if the Southern Zhou Dynasty is left there and does not fight, it will not have a great impact on Datang, but if the Sixteen States of Yanyun do not take advantage of Khitan's lack of strength to take them back, Datang will be worried in the future. I am worried that Khitan will go south one day, and the people who are close to Khitan will live in dire straits.

Li Congjia was a little strange: "Why did you say this suddenly?"

Shi Xueting was also very supportive of him before, but this time he came over suddenly and told him these things. Could it be that someone went to him to play the side drums, and he came to persuade himself?

Shi Xueting said: "It's the King of Shu who is worried that you won't be able to withstand the pressure from the courtiers."

Military generals often have this kind of worry. For example, they planned to fight wherever they planned, and the emperor also expressed their support, but the civil servants stood by and dragged their legs... It's over.

Although it is said that the military and the government are separated now, the food and grass are under the control of others!

After Li Congjia knew their worries, he stroked his chin and said, "I was really negligent about this matter. It's time to build granaries in some important military areas. These grains are specially used by the military system."

Shi Xueting said hastily: "Don't mess around, how do you divide it? How much is divided for the army every year? What if there is too much? What if there is too little? And there is a righteous warehouse?"

Li Congjia thought about it too, this is indeed not a good score.

After thinking about it, the only thing he can do is probably to carry it to the end.

In fact, Li Hongji and the others wanted Li Congjia to make a statement. As long as Li Congjia decided to support it, there would be no suspense about this matter.

I have to say that Li Hongji really thought very long-term. The next day, there was a book in the imperial history saying that Li Congjia asked Pan Mei to lead troops to patrol the border, which was a waste of money. After all, Li Congjia had already spent a lot of effort to build the border defense. In everyone's opinion, the border defense is strong enough. , Wouldn’t it be superfluous to send someone to inspect it?

In this regard, Li Congjia asked directly: "Did you spend your money?"

The translation is, I have money, I am willing to spend it, and the Ministry of Households has not stood up to speak, what are you talking nonsense?

Censor:? ? ? ?

This is not a normal routine. At this time, even the emperor should explain it?What kind of rhythm is this when you come up and hate Yushi?

Everyone was a little confused by Li Congjia's unreasonable way of playing cards, habitually glanced to the side, and found that Shi Xueting was not there.

Everyone suddenly realized that their emperor would start to let go of himself if the national teacher was not there.

Li Congjia saw that no one was talking, and then said: "I would rather spend more money than hear that the Khitan people went south and we lost so many people."

For a moment, no one in the hall spoke, what else could they say?Do you want to say that we shouldn't care about the lives of those people, we just don't send troops?

Forget it, everyone knows that in terms of military affairs, as long as Li Congjia decides, then no one can intervene or try to persuade him.

Even what Yushi Zhezi said before was that you can't spend so much money, instead of directly saying that you can't send people there, but I didn't expect Li Congjia's counterattack to be so...unusual.

Li Congjia did not continue to struggle with this issue after spraying Yushi. Anyway, the position of Yushi is all kinds of thorns. I won't fight you to the death.

The matter of patrolling the border defense was settled like this. Zhou Zong and others didn't say much from the beginning to the end. Anyway, they were very calm. As long as Li Congjia didn't say that he was going, nothing would happen.

If Li Congjia said he wanted to go in person, then stop talking and roll up your sleeves to persuade him.

Although Li Congjia also wanted to go, it is estimated that not to mention the courtiers, even Shi Xueting might not let him go again.

As a result, as soon as Li Congjia sent Pan Mei out, when he returned to the Privy Council, Zhao Kuangyin came over with a serious face and said, "Suzhou and Ganzhou are reversed."

Li Congjia paused, and said with a normal expression: "Oh, who is the leader?"

"Long Wu, the younger brother of the former Dragon King." Zhao Kuangyin originally wanted to say the younger brother of the former Dragon King, but after thinking about it, the eldest of his family seemed to have been a Dragon King, but it seemed inappropriate to say the former, so he blurted it out. Anyway, everyone Just understand it.

Li Congjia chuckled: "This person... is hiding very deeply, how is the situation over there now?"

Zhao Kuangyin explained it in detail, this matter is not small, after all, it is also considered as the land of Longxing, it should be a place of great importance, but because it is outside the customs, it is too far away from Chang'an, so I want to control it all It's a bit difficult, just stare at it from time to time.

As a result, Zhao Kuangyin and the others were already very careful. They knew that there were fewer people and more people there, and they were very strict with the army there. The officials sent by the imperial court were also relatively peaceful and did not make trouble. They did not expect that Datang had just stabilized. After a while, it will be reversed!

Everyone looked at Li Congjia's expression carefully, trying to judge what to do about this matter based on Li Congjia's anger.

In fact, the best way now is to appease the bandits first. If appeasement is not enough, then suppress the bandits.

Li Congjia's face was normal. He did have feelings for the Western Regions, but he also knew that the situation there was complicated, so he said, "How should we deal with it? Did the governor of Suzhou participate in the rebellion?"

The governor of Suzhou is actually the previous thirteenth prince. Li Congjia basically fulfilled his promise and made the thirteenth prince the king of Suzhou. The rights are not small.

Zhao Kuangyin quickly said: "The governor of Suzhou did not follow the rebellion, but during the Longwu rebellion, he first attacked the governor's mansion, and the governor's wife died in the city. The governor fled with his eldest son, and his whereabouts are unknown now."

Li Congjia turned his head to look at Zhao Kuangyin and said, "Send someone to look for it, and put down the rebellion within five days. If I can't do it, I will conscript myself."

Zhao Kuangyin:? ? ? ? ? ? ?

five days?The army hasn't arrived there yet, so if you want to go there, just say so!

After Li Congjia finished speaking, he turned around coldly, and began to think about what he would bring with him. In fact, after he ascended the throne, he should go on a tour outside the Great Wall.

As a result, his reputation was not very good, and this group of people probably refused to let him go out no matter what, so he had to find a way to find another opportunity.

However, he would rather wait for a while, and he did not want such news to come out. No matter which emperor he was, he would not be happy to hear that someone opposed him. Even if Li Congjia understood it intellectually, he couldn't understand it emotionally.

So after he returned to Zichen Palace, his face was not the indifferent expression just now, he became angry and went to complain to Shi Xueting.

As a result, after he saw Shi Xueting, before he could speak, he heard Shi Xueting say: "I heard that you went to court today to make trouble again?"

He still learned the three words "doing things" from Li Congjia's mouth, and felt that it was very suitable for Li Congjia.

Li Congjia asked with a question mark on his face: "What did I do?"

Shi Xueting sighed and said: "You didn't do anything, the censor would sue me if he could? Take care of your subordinates, don't just sue me if you have nothing to do, what do you want me for?"

He can do nothing but fuck their emperor.

Li Congjia waved his hand: "Don't bother with them. If you have nothing to do, you are not allowed to spray it back? Why do you have to endure their persuasion if you are an emperor? I don't, I can write as I like, anyway, I don't expect myself to be famous forever. Jun."

Shi Xueting keenly sensed that something was wrong with Li Congjia's aura, and asked, "What happened?"

Li Congjia recounted the matter: "No one can stop me this time. That Long Wu thinks that I'm not in the Western Regions, so he can do whatever he wants? How dare he chase down the assassin I sent over? I'm afraid I don't have a clue."

Shi Xueting immediately said: "I'll go."

Li Congjia just wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he said, "Then let's go together."

After suppressing the rebellion, you can take a leisurely honeymoon trip. Anyway, since the two of them got together, they really don’t have much time to play outside. Now that everyone is so busy, Li Congjia is too embarrassed to leave the matter to the cabinet, and then said that he I want to play, now I finally have a chance, let's go.

Shi Xueting found out almost immediately that Li Congjia didn't pay much attention to suppressing the rebellion. After all, according to the news from there, the Longwu incident only brought a few thousand people.

Li Congjia complained while asking people to go to Tiance Mansion and Firearms Camp to select candidates: "The governor of Suzhou is also a good-for-nothing. Fortunately, I trusted him so much back then and entrusted him to take care of all of Suzhou. In the end, he was overthrown. Even if he becomes the Dragon King, he won't be able to secure the throne!"

Seeing him getting ready, Shi Xueting asked, "Does the cabinet know?"

Li Congjia stopped, turned to look at Shi Xueting and asked: "Can I lead the soldiers first and then tell them? After all, saving people is like putting out a fire, over there..."

Shi Xueting couldn't help but pat him and said: "Don't make trouble, you really don't want to go out next time if you do this."

Li Congjia... What else can Li Congjia do?We had to honestly ask Chunsheng to notify the cabinet.

The cabinet's first reaction was: what?The emperor wants to run away again?No, no, you have to keep him.

The reasons of the cabinet ministers are also very good: there are many generals in the Tang Dynasty now, you can just choose one to go there, why bother to take the risk by yourself?

Li Congjiali said bluntly: "I'm going to calm people's hearts. I haven't been back since I returned to the Central Plains. I have to go back and have a look. I want to see Anning City, can't I?"

So, in the end this is your goal, right?

Everyone in the cabinet thought about it and felt that Li Congjia should indeed go back to appease people's hearts. It would be better if he could make Longwu surrender without a fight.

Anyway, everyone knew what he was going to do this time, and since the national teacher was still following him, it was not impossible to discuss how he could restrain him a bit.

So... the three chapters of the agreement, Li Congjia agreed and rolled his eyes in his heart. He finally discovered that being an emperor is the most unfree. Being an ordinary rich man, why should he discuss with so many people where he wants to go? .

When Li Congjia saw the ceremonial guards prepared for him by those people, he felt bad all over.

"I said... After preparing these things, I feel that those local people either succeeded in saving themselves or surrendered to Longwu. What is the significance of our going?"

When this guard of honor walks over, those who don't follow Long Wu's body will probably be cold!

Zhou Zong looked at him and said, "Your Majesty is only responsible for appeasing people's hearts."

Li Congjia: "You mean I don't have to do anything, just show my face in the past?"

Zhou Zong's face was full of question marks:? ? ?Otherwise what do you think?Don't you really expect to lead the army to fight?Don't be kidding, no one has counted on you.

Li Congjia felt Zhou Zong's contempt, so he could only prepare according to their intentions. After all, Zhou Zong said that these guards of honor actually acted as a deterrent, letting them know the majesty of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Congjia: Prestige?If I were really dignified, this guard of honor would never be used.

However, he can only think about it, anyway, let's treat it as a belated honeymoon with Shi Xueting.

Before Li Congjia set off, he specially called Li Zhongyu over and said earnestly: "You are not young now. I will leave this time and let Zhou Zong and others assist you in supervising the country. You can learn more from the ministers. Do you know if you ask me directly and humbly?"

Li Zhongyu: I also want to go out and play QAQ

However, all he got was his father's ruthless and unrestrained back, leaving him as a minor at home with a group of old men supervising the country.

When Li Congjia walked halfway, Zhu Yuan, who came with him, finally noticed the suffering, but he couldn't leave early, after all, his main task was to protect Li Congjia.

Fortunately, Li Congjia was more considerate, so he directly asked him to take people to Suzhou and Ganzhou first. As for the protection... Shi Xueting and Tiance Mansion were there, so Zhu Yuan and his soldiers were actually not needed horse.

Although Zhu Yuan really wanted to leave quickly, he still said: "I dare not leave my post without permission."

Li Congjia simply said: "That's fine, don't go, let the national teacher go."

Zhu Yuan: ...he shouldn't be mean. What's the point of being humble with someone like Li Congjia?

Li Congjia looked at his expression and couldn't help chuckling and said, "Stop talking nonsense, get out!"

So Zhu Yuan quickly rolled away. As soon as Li Congjia turned his head, he saw Shi Xueting's meaningful gaze, and suddenly felt that he... made a very wrong choice. Now the highest rank in the entire team is Shi Xueting. Xue Ting, the rest of them are still their confidantes, this... something is not good.

Just when Shi Xueting stepped onto the dragon chariot openly, Li Congjia said hastily: "Shall we camp in the wild tonight, or rush to the next town?"

Shi Xueting said strangely: "Of course it's going to the town."

Before Li Congjia went out, the route was basically planned. If there were no major accidents, the towns along the way had already been arranged. Why did he ask this?

After Li Congjia got the answer, he got off the dragon chariot in a hurry, and asked someone to bring his jade flower ponytail over and said, "The time is running out, we'd better hurry there and stay first, it's too slow to be a dragon chariot. "

Shi Xueting frowned: "No, don't be willful."

It doesn't matter if you are in the wild, but there must be a ceremony when you enter the city.

The emperor's failure to sit on the dragon chariot is not only a loss of status, but also a dissatisfaction and negligence towards his subjects in another sense. This is his first tour since he ascended the throne. How could he mess around?

Just when Li Congjia was about to discuss with Shi Xueting, he suddenly heard the sound of a fast horse galloping from behind, and turned around to find that it was a messenger who was in a hurry for eight hundred miles. I couldn't help but my heart jumped: "What happened again?"

He is now fully prepared to leave Chang'an for less than two hundred miles, what needs eight hundred miles of urgent messengers to come?

In fact, this matter is really worth a messenger's trip, everyone is waiting for Li Congjia's idea.

Li Congjia saw the contents of the letter after receiving the letter, and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "How did Li Congshan become so shameless?"

The author has something to say: Shi Xueting: This dragon chariot is made according to your requirements, and it is said that the sound insulation is also good.

Li Congjia: Sound insulation?Why is there such a thing as sound insulation?

Shi Xueting: What do you think?

Li Congjia: It’s a big audience, isn’t it good?

Shi Xueting: Isn't it exciting?

Li Congjia: ...
