Chapter 306 The Emperor's Throwing Pot

Zhaozong's expression slowed down and whispered: "After Dong Chang rebelled, the only vassal states that could tribute to the court were Fufeng Hou and Zhongyi Army.

In addition, Wei Xiang was loyal to the court. As an elder, Fufeng Hou was bound by the constraints. Once Fufeng Hou received my imperial edict, Wei Xiang would be disappointed and would be disheartened to me when he learned about it."

Liu Jishu whispered respectfully: "Your Majesty's concerns are understood by me, but Fufeng Hou occupied Jingnan, Qianzhong, Bashu, Changsha Prefecture, Guiguan, Lingnan, Fujian, Longyou, Shuofang, and Liangzhou. It can be said that the general situation has been achieved. If it is not curbed in time, it will inevitably lead to the pass in the future."

Zhaozong's face was gloomy and he was in conflict. His previous decisions with the prime ministers were mainly to accumulate energy and sit still.

If you choose to support the eunuchs, once exposed, the consequences will not only be that you will lose the tribute of Fufeng Hou, but also the reputation of the court will be completely lost.

In addition, an eunuch blatantly demanding the power of the court was obviously an ambitious person.

Even if he seized the power of the vassal states in the future, he would definitely be Yang Fugong and others. Zhaozong would never believe that the eunuch was really loyal to the emperor.

The ambitious eunuchs later supported descendants of the royal family as puppets, but in the end they lost the orthodox tradition of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhaozong closed his eyes and fell into entanglement with a complex mentality.

Liu Jishu peeped at the eyes, with a slightly contemptuous look. The emperor in his eyes was full of ambition, lacked responsibility, and was suspicious. He only knew how to fight in the nest. He shrank when he should take action, and when he should endure it, he was angry and rushed to death, which made him wish he could kill him.

After a long time, Zhaozong opened his eyes and whispered: "Liu Jishu, I don't know about this, please watch it."

Liu Jishu looked surprised and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I dare not forge an edict. If you don't write the imperial edict in person, it will be difficult to win the trust."

Zhaozong's face darkened and he whispered: "I said it, just pretend that I don't know. The imperial edict should have a seal."

Liu Jishu was angry in his heart. The emperor asked him to be a scapegoat. If the matter was defeated, his fate would inevitably be punished and beheaded.

In the past, when Fengxiang's army was at the city, the emperor killed the Lieutenant of the Shence Army and was punished. As a result, Li Maozhen refused to agree and eventually forced the emperor to kill Du Rangneng.

"I don't have it, please rest assured by your majesty." Liu Jishu suppressed his anger and responded respectfully.

Zhaozong nodded with satisfaction, was confused, and felt relaxed, and said calmly: "Select a few smart eunuchs to assist."

"I obey the order." Liu Jishu responded respectfully.

Zhaozong waved his hand, Liu Jishu bent down and took three steps back, turned around and left Yanying Palace.

The emperor set off and left Yanying Hall, went to the Xianju Hall in the harem, and met the queen and the eunuch.

The queen personally served tea and the palace maids gave fruits.

The emperor sat down to taste the tea and said gently: "Wuyi Mountain Tea has made me feel my daughter's filial piety. Is Yutong really good in Fujian?"

The queen waved her hand, and the eunuch said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Princess is in Fujian and has a respectable status. She is responsible for supervising local and taxes. She has the command power of the guardian. Your Highness also misses her relatives. She once said that she would return to Chang'an to visit her relatives when the people of Fujian are safe for a few years."

"The day when Fujian is remote and barbarians and people's livelihood is safe, it may be out of reach." Zhaozong whispered.

Changquan hesitated for a moment and said respectfully: "According to what I have seen and heard, Fufeng Hou has vigorously provided disaster relief to Fuzhou, and has adopted Feng Shui strategies and princess prestige, which has won the recognition of the eight local surnames in Fuzhou. Now Fujian people recognize Langfeng Wei family."

"Well? Feng Shui strategy, please tell me in detail." Zhaozong asked attentively.

After a long and detailed narration, Zhaozong frowned and said nothing.

The queen said gently: "Your Majesty

Next, Fujian is remote and Yu Tong's vassal state will not hinder the rule of the Tang Dynasty."

Zhaozong Zhan Yan nodded, looked at Changquan, and asked, "Tell me about the situation in Jingxiang."

Changquan responded respectfully and answered the emperor's inquiries one by one.

......

Jiangling Prefecture is a prosperous scene in the city, with people coming and going on the streets and shops flourishing.

At the south gate, hundreds of troops guarded the city, checking in and out.

The soldiers at the city gate were rigorous in appearance and did not charge any fees. They occasionally stopped the incoming city and checked the vehicles. Although they spoke harshly, they did not curse or beat them at will.

More than a dozen people with round necklaces and robes accompanied a truck and Lifu to the outside of the southern city gate. The leader was a middle-aged man in blue official uniform, walked to the city gate to retrieve the official documents.

"Zhang Cong, the secretary of the Chengdu Prefecture, was responsible for commercial taxation and was ordered to guide merchants from various prefectures in Xichuan to Jiangling Prefecture." The middle-aged official introduced himself gently.

The goalkeeper took the official document and asked: "Why did the merchants from Shu come to Jiangling Mansion from a long distance?"

"It is said that it was the order of the Jiedushi, which ordered the prominent families of Xichuan provinces to go to Jiangling Prefecture. This time, it was a guide for the officials. In the future, whether the prominent families will go to the business will not be forced." Zhang Cong replied.

"Journalist is in Xichuan?" asked the goalkeeper.

"Well, the Jiedushi inspected Xichuan and stopped in Chengdu to sort out the military and political affairs." Zhang Cong replied.

"Is Xichuan safe? Has there ever been a war?" asked the goalkeeper.

"There was no war, but the Jiedushi actively prepared for the war, stationed heavily in Rongzhou and Chengdu, and used the method of repaying debt to raise 10,000 new troops. Chengdu is as solid as a god." Zhang Cong replied.

"What is the method of raising troops to repay debts?" asked the goalkeeper.

Zhang Cong explained, the goalkeeper smiled and nodded after hearing this, and began to check the vehicles of the people and vehicles entering the city.

The first businessman respectfully handed over the certificate. The goalkeeper looked at it and asked: "Are you from Meizhou?"

"Sir, the youngest comes from the Wang family in Meizhou." The merchant replied respectfully.

The goalkeeper nodded and continued to ask and check one by one. The merchants from Xichuan successfully passed the test, entered Jiangling Prefecture City, and conducted transactions with local merchants.

Thanks to the guidance of officials, the transactions of this group of merchants went smoothly, and a Sichuan Chamber of Commerce base was established to communicate with each other.

......

Two days after the merchants in Xichuan arrived, four men came outside the East City Gate, claiming to be members of the tribe of the Jiangling Prefecture. They came from afar and sent people to the government office.

Jiangling Prefecture and Jingzhou Prefecture are located in the same yard. Two large gate towers with flying eaves and ridges are arranged side by side with north and south facing each other.

Jiangling Prefecture was once upgraded to the southern capital of the Tang Dynasty. After many abolishment, it was established as the Jingnan Jiedushi.

In fact, the yamen of the Jingnan Jiedushi is a combination of the government office and the prefecture office. The Jiangling Prefecture Principal has always been appointed by the Jingnan Jiedushi.

The governor of Jingzhou has always been able to serve alone and be in charge of the civil affairs and justice in Jingzhou.

After Wei Fufeng seized Jingzhou, the official position of the Jingnan Jiedushi was dismissed and the General's Office was in charge of military affairs.

The governor of Jingzhou and the prime minister of Jiangling prefect each performed their duties and became two civil affairs offices that were not subordinate to each other.

Two soldiers led four dusty men to Jiangling Prefecture.

Outside the government office building, eight sword guards and four soap-coat yamen runners holding water and fire sticks are strictly guarded and demonstrate the authority of the government office.

The sergeant communicated with the guards and left.

The head of the guards did not dare to neglect them, and entered the house to report, and turned back to lead four men into the government office and bypassed the screen wall.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

, enter the majestic lobby, go to the signing and enclosure location through the left and right ceremonies, and arrive at the second hall.

"Sir, bring me here." The guards in the second hall reported respectfully.

"Well, no one is allowed outside, go." Changshun, wearing a robe and jade belt, sat alone in the second hall and responded calmly.

The guard of the mansion retreated, letting four dusty men enter the second hall, and then hurried back to the mansion.

The Lord of the Ministry was strict with his subordinates. Many people were punished. At the least, they were given a slaughter and at the worst, they were imprisoned. The government office obeyed and did not dare to act rashly.

The four men walked into the second hall, and the person at the front stood still, raised his greeting and bent down and whispered: "Mr. Changshun, we have been ordered by Lord Liu Jishu."

Changshun immediately looked surprised and stood up and said, "You are from Chang'an."

"That is, Lord Liu Jishu attaches great importance to Lord Changshun and reports to Your Majesty that he convinces Your Majesty to accept Lord Changshun's actions. Your Majesty considers Lord Changshun's alone and orders us to come and listen to it." The man replied whispered, with a respectful tone.

"Okay, have you brought the imperial edict?" Changshun approached and asked in a low voice.

The man nodded, untied his robe, took out a long cloth bag on the inside of his thigh, handed it to Changshun, and Changshun took it and opened it, revealing a bright yellow imperial edict, opened it, looked at it for a while, and nodded with a smile.

The other three men also unbuttoned their robes, took out a cloth bag, and respectfully served them before leaving, Changshun turned around and looked at them.

The man who took out the imperial edict whispered: "Sir, this is the official seal of the Privy Councilor, the official seal of the Jingnan Jiedu, and the official seal of the Nandu. Master Liu Jishu said that the imperial edict of Jiangling Prefecture to reset the Nandu will be issued by the court. Please take action when you see the opportunity in the future."

Changshun nodded, put away the imperial edict and official seal, put it into the sleeve of the robe, and whispered: "Thank you for your hard work, please wait, I will ask the servants to prepare meals."

"Thank you, sir." The leading man thanked him respectfully.

Changshun nodded and walked away from the second hall. The four men straightened their waists and glanced at them with a relaxed expression.

A man smiled and said, "It's so prosperous here, it's much better than Chang'an."

"Chang'an has been in chaos for several years, and the court has not made enough money to make ends meet, so it is naturally not as prosperous as here." Another man whispered.

"You should be cautious when speaking and not mention Chang'an anymore." The leading man scolded in a low voice, and the other men hurriedly responded respectfully, and the hall was quiet.

Suddenly, countless yamen run into the door, fighting for the first place, waving the water and fire sticks with evil spirits.

Four men were caught off guard and were smashed by the head of the head, bang bang bang bang bang bang bang! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The four men hugged their heads and screamed and ran around, but there were too many people fighting in groups. They attacked fiercely. In just a moment, their heads and faces were deformed and they fell to the ground, dying.

Two yamen runners dragged one, four men were dragged away and threw them into prison. Someone quickly cleaned the second hall.

The next day, Changshun sat upright in the two halls and tasted tea like nothing happened.

The prison chief Duda stood respectfully.

Changshun took a sip of tea and whispered: "All dead?"

"Don't worry, I lost half my life when I entered the prison. I went away with a sandbag." Duda replied respectfully.

"Well, okay, there is something that will make you work hard. You go to see the governor of Jingzhou to report." Changshun whispered calmly.

Duda was so scared that he knelt on the ground, kowtowed and frightened, saying, "Sir, the young man has never reported the news. The villain cannot betrayed the adult, so he can understand it."

"I am telling you to do things, don't you understand?" Changshun said coldly.

Du Da was stunned and hesitated: "I don't understand, please make clear."
