It's not surprising that Li Tai "ran away". Even if he didn't have to "injure himself", he would have to find other excuses sooner or later. Needless to say, Li Chengqian probably already had the emperor mentally prepared.

.

Because the policy of moving from narrow rural areas to wide rural areas is beneficial to the court and the people, it has no interest at all in the king of Wei. There is no need for him to offend the noble gentry for the sake of the general trend, and there is no need to add glory to the East Palace. This is Li Tai, a refined self-interested person.

The way of doing things that a Christian follows.

Chang'an is located in the center of Guanzhong. It is very convenient for the government to implement any policy here. Whether it is good or bad, it can be controlled immediately and adjusted in time to prevent people with ulterior motives from profiting and harming the people. Therefore, Xiaoxiang

After the policy of relocating to Kuan Township was agreed upon, various officials in the Guanzhong area acted in accordance with the law after receiving the government order.

As for local officials from other provinces, the imperial court had to summon them to Beijing to report on their duties and discuss how to implement the policy of narrowing rural areas and moving them to wider areas based on the actual local conditions. After all, local differences and situations are different. What you want to do is to

It is simply impossible to achieve complete agreement.

Of course, they were not the only ones who came to Beijing to report on their work, there were also officials who had performed well in the various states that had already moved. Changsun Wuji and Tang Jian were responsible for receiving them, and first comforted them, adding three levels to the record.

, which can be regarded as a reward for their loyalty to the king; secondly, they talk about the problems encountered during the implementation process, sum up the experience and lessons in a timely manner, and check for deficiencies.

Among these local officials who came to Beijing, there was only one who was very special. No, it should be said to be a miracle. Zhao Shida, the governor of Zezhou, completed the relocation of the state within one month; and there was not a trace of public resentment, and the people were all

He happily embarked on the road to return to his home, and even went to the Wanmin Biao to ask the imperial court to order a memorial to this good official who did practical things and loved the people.

What was even more surprising was that this little governor actually invited Li Jing, Duke of Wei, to lead him to the East Palace for an audience. This surprised Li Chengqian. Li Jing was not someone who was easy to talk to.

Jiubu Qingyi wanted him to come forward, but that was simply impossible, so guided by curiosity, Li Chengqianen agreed to the request for an audience.

In the Mingde Hall, after Li Jing and Zhao Shida saluted, Li Chengqian smiled and touched them softly to get them up. He also asked Henglian to bring some tea and snacks, and then walked down the imperial steps and sat down with Li Jing.

"General, you are a noble man. You can't even invite me here at ordinary times. It seems that Governor Zhao's reputation is indeed greater than that of Prince Gu!" Li Chengqian looked at Zhao Shida with a smile. This official in shabby robes

Interesting.

As we all know, the relationship between Li Chengqian and Li Jing is very subtle. It has nothing to do with the monarch and his ministers or the nominal teachers and students. Li Chengqian suddenly emerged in the army, coupled with the emperor's deliberate cultivation, he may not have the intention to replace Li Jing.

In addition, Zhang Baoxiang, Su Dingfang and other old subordinates were taken back by the emperor, which invisibly reduced Li Jing's soft power. This was quite the intention for the Cao family and his son to be wary of Sima Yi.

Therefore, this pair of teachers and students in name are both opponents of checks and balances, and partners who work together to maintain the emperor's authority. It is estimated that the two people involved can hardly distinguish the intersection between them.

"Your Highness is scolding the old minister, but you can't blame me. There are so many people coming and going to the East Palace every day. Your Highness is already working hard. If the old minister comes to bother you again, it will be contrary to your kindness."

, Li Jing pointed at Zhao Shida again: "But for Shida, I have to sacrifice my old face to beg His Highness once."

In the early years of Wude, Li Jing marched eastward from the King of Qin, defeated Wang Shichong who was entrenched in Luoyang, and opened the government with military merit. At that time, Zhao Shida served under him.

Later, after he defeated Xiao, he fought against Ran Zhao, a barbarian from Kaizhou, and went down to Lingnan to attack local forces such as Feng Ang, Li Guangdu, and Ning Changzhen. He won the position of Zhonglang General with his military merits, and once rescued Li Jingyi in the battle. Life.

Finally, he was seriously injured in the battle of Zhanfu Gongyou and was not suitable to continue serving in the army. He was transferred to Puzhou to join the army. Because he was from a military background, he did not have as many aloof and stinky habits as the scribes, so he was discharged in a short period of time. He has accomplished some political achievements.

In the first year of Zhenguan, Li Jing wrote a letter recommending him to be appointed governor of Zezhou because of his meritorious service, and he worked diligently for fifteen years. This time the imperial court moved from narrow rural areas to wide rural areas, and Zhao Shida played an extraordinary role. It must be said that a clean and tidy finish added three points of dignity to the face of the old officer Li Jing.

While he was happy to defend his old subordinates, Li Jing also complained about him. This governor had worked hard for fifteen years, but the court ignored him. Isn't it too unfair? Moreover, Zhao Shida also showed that he was in Beijing. He wanted to become an official, which led to his coming to the East Palace today.

Yes, this official has been working for too long. According to what Li Jing said, Zhao Shida was really wronged, but this is nothing new in the officialdom; as for Dou Kuan, he has been working in the same place for twenty years. , if he had not met Li Chengqian, he would probably be just a governor like him now.

When being an official, in addition to being honest, loyal to the master and family background, luck is sometimes also very important. The reason why Zhao Shida couldn't climb even though he was the governor of Xiazhou was because he didn't meet anyone who appreciated him. , this is true for nine out of ten officials, and it will not change just because he was once Li Jing's old subordinate.

"Oh, according to what the general said, Governor Zhao really has few officials, and he has been wronged in such a small place like Zezhou these years! Governor Zhao, this time you took the lead in moving the narrow township to the wide township. , and became a model among all the governors, so it would be unjustifiable if he was not rewarded."

"The monks' faces of the common people and the Buddha's faces of the generals are all visible to me. In this way, after finishing the final work of moving from narrow township to wide township, and after the imperial court selects a successor, Governor Zhao can go to Beijing to report on his duties. A good beginning and a good end!

I believe that Governor Zhao has been in Zezhou for many years and has feelings for the people, mountains and rivers there, right?"

After Zhao Shida kowtowed and thanked him, Li Chengqian turned to Li Jingyan and said, "General, do you think this is appropriate?"

Haha..., "I don't dare to take it seriously, I don't dare to take it seriously. It's the blessing of the old minister and Shida that I can earn such a favor from His Highness. The old minister has given you a gift."
