Chapter 1501 Strategies
In a blink of an eye, a few months passed, and the end of the year was again. The city of Chang'an was decorated with lights and colors, preparing to welcome the first Spring Festival since His Majesty Emperor Daning ascended the end.
Donghunting Pavilion has now become a veritable Donghunting Pavilion. The temperature in the house seems to be two different worlds from the outside.
Li Chi was strong and the brazier in the room was prosperous. He only wore a single dress and sat cross-legged on the kang to review the memorials.
Yes, there is an extra kang in this East Warehouse.
Li Chi felt that it was really tired to sit on a chair for a long time, so he made someone build a fire kang in this study.
It feels much more comfortable to work on this kang. If you are tired, you can lean against the side for a while and put on two thick quilts.
If you are a little irritable, you can see outside by opening the window.
Tang Piddi sat on the other end of the kang, leaning against it as if he was about to fall asleep, squinting his eyes.
Li Chi tore off a piece of paper, kneaded it into a ball of paper and threw it towards Tang Pidian. It was quite accurate and was hitting Tang Pidian's forehead.
Seeing Tang Pidian open his eyes, Li Chi thrust his mouth towards the brazier.
Tang Piddi smiled, went over and flipped the charcoal in the brazier, and picked out two pieces of baked sweet potatoes from it.
Putting two pieces of sweet potatoes on the kang table, Tang Pidian nodded at Li Chinu.
Li Chi pointed to the smaller piece: "That's mine, the other piece is yours."
Tang Piddi narrowed his eyes again: "A big return minister?"
Li Chi said: "I have been eating less and less recently. I thought this was not good a while ago, so I called Jiu Mei to have a meal with him, but I lost to Jiu Mei."
Tang Piddi's face changed, and then looked at the thick stacks of memorials beside Li Chi.
A moment later, he went over and pulled Li Chi up: "Let's go, I will kidnap Your Majesty today and say I will go out for a walk no matter what."
Li Chi was pulled up by Tang Pideng and looked back at the memorials: "I haven't finished many things yet."
Tang Pidian pulled Li Chi out, and regardless of what Li Chi said, he shouted to Ye Xiaoqian when he arrived at the door: "Go and lead the horses to Your Majesty, take the guards with you, and follow Your Majesty to hunt in the northern suburbs."
Li Chi smiled and said, "If you go, go, are I still afraid of you?"
After changing his clothes and taking a group of great inner guards, Li Chi and Tang Pidian rode out of the city and headed straight for the northern suburbs.
The northern suburbs of Chang'an City are quite deserted. Although most of the fields are planted, there are still many places that have not been cultivated, especially in this severe winter, when it snowed just now. It looked white and made people feel much more open.
Li Chi stopped his horse and looked around. He saw some footprints on the snow, which should be left by a hare.
"Eat whatever you eat today. If you can't catch prey, you will be hungry with me."
Li Chi said with a smile and urged the horse to move forward.
"Whoever gets the first to catch the prey will give me a martened cloak sent from Yanzhou."
As soon as he said this, the guards yelled and changed their screams. Except for the personal guards who stayed beside His Majesty, everyone else urged the horse to rush out.
Tang Pidian looked at Li Chi and said, "Your Majesty, the fire in the room is too strong, it's not good."
Li Chi nodded: "I know it's not good either, but there are too many things."
Tang Pidian asked: "Don't you plan to let Xu Ji come back?"
Li Chi shook his head: "You have to wait a little longer. Let's go through the New Year. I will call him back after the New Year."
Tang Pidian said: "Director Gao and Mr. Yan's academy have been almost done. I heard that Your Majesty has selected several adults from the six departments and asked them to teach in the academy?"
Li Chi smiled and said, "You are very informative. I just talked to Mr. Yan and the others the day before yesterday, and you will know today."
Tang Pidian said, "I know, because Mr. Yan came to find me and said that it was not good to teach people to study in the academy, and it seemed a little monotonous. I have been in Chang'an for a while, and he wanted me to go to the academy to attend classes."
Li Chi raised his lips: "Go."
“By the way.”
Tang Piddi smiled and said, "An Chen, the younger brother of the former minister, said that he had added new people to his family. His wife met when he was in Yongzhou, and the two fell in love at first sight."
Li Chi smiled and said, "I have already received the letter and asked Jiu Mei to go over and see it for me. Jiu Mei said, "That little guy is very beautiful, and he looks like a military person."
Tang Pidian said: "I...I...I want to ask Your Majesty for advice because I know that Your Majesty has sent someone there. An Chen has been in Chang'an City for a while. It just so happened that people also need to be watched by the matters in the arsenal of the four borders. I want to ask Your Majesty if you can..."
"Old Tang."
When Li Chi looked at Tang Pidian, his eyes felt a little sad.
"Don't always do this. Do I have to trust you? I must distribute you all to far away?"
Tang Piddi quickly leaned over and said, "I just think..."
Li Chi shook his head and said, "Don't think about it. I have something bigger to do. You and Anchen are going to go."
Tang Piddi asked quickly: "What is Your Majesty talking about?"
"I have been thinking about this for a while, and I have thought about it carefully. I plan to change the prefecture system of Daning to the prefecture system, and divide the Daning area again, and replace the original state with Tao. The previous big and small states were troublesome to divide, and many things were troublesome to arrange."
"I think about dividing Daning into nineteen roads, and arranging a guard soldiers within each road. I have already agreed on how to divide the Daozhi. The new map will be made soon, but you can only do the matter of the 19 guard soldiers."
Tang Pidian was shocked.
This re-dividing of the Daning Local Dao Palace is definitely not just because the previous Chu State's prefecture system was a bit chaotic.
After re-dividing, officials must be mobilized on a large scale.
Then there is the setting of war soldiers, one by one, and one guard. If the war soldiers do not belong to the place, they will directly obey His Majesty.
There is a general in each road leading his army to guard the government. No matter where or where there is a problem, the soldiers in this road can solve the problem immediately.
Thinking about Xu Ji again, Tang Pidian knew it.
"I obey the order. After I go back, I go to the Ministry of War and discuss this matter carefully with the adults of the Ministry of War."
"Not a negotiation."
Li Chi said: "I have asked someone to draft an order early in the morning. This is the Ministry of War that cooperates with you, not the Ministry of War."
Tang Skin leaned over on the horse's back: "My minister, follow the order!"
Li Chi looked at Tang Pidian: "You are... you always think about how to avoid me. I will find something for you. If you always want to avoid me, I will always find something for you."
Tang Pidian smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty has the final say."
Li Chi urged the horse to move forward: "Let's go, let's go and catch a few wild animals, otherwise it will make people laugh."
At the same time, Shuzhou.
Meicheng is still the same, but it always gives people a feeling of a brand new look here.
Xu Ji, who was patrolling the world for His Majesty, arrived in Shuzhou a few days ago and just arrived in Meicheng yesterday.
In the study, his subordinates came in from outside the door and quickly closed the door. He took out a letter from his arms and handed it over with his hands.
"Sir, the news sent by the capital is urgently received."
Xu Ji took the letter and looked at it, his eyebrows raised up, and when people were happy, they would dance, but his eyebrows were obviously not because of happiness.
"What is your Majesty going to do?"
Xu Ji muttered to himself.
A while ago, Guan Mo had an accident. Xu Ji submitted a memorial to ask His Majesty for advice, saying that he was unreasonable and wanted to return to Chang'an to apologize to His Majesty in person.
But the reply from Your Majesty to him said that Guan Mo is Guan Mo, you are you, even though they come from Jizhou together, what does it have to do with you?
You can patrol the place for me with peace of mind. I have seen Guan Mo’s case personally and it has been settled, but it is just because he is obsessed with greed.
His Majesty's reply made Xu Ji feel a little relieved, but he didn't dare to let Guan Mo still live.
He arranged people to rush back to Chang'an City overnight and tried every means to get rid of Guan Mo, but the talents he sent arrived and received news that Guan Mo was expelled from Chang'an City, he was killed after leaving no more than a hundred miles and his bodies were transported back to Chang'an City.
Xu Ji's people found a way to bribe the autopsy person and confirmed that Guan Mo was the one who died, so they hurried back and reported to Xu Ji.
I heard that Guan Mo was dead, but Xu Ji couldn't relax at all because Guan Mo was not killed by him, so this matter was a bit strange.
Logically speaking, Lu Chonglou had reason to kill him, but Lu Chonglou was not that kind of person, Xu Ji was sure of this.
Guan Mo's affairs have not yet calmed down. He just received news that His Majesty wants to re-dividate the Taoist rule...
In other words, there is no more powerful Jiedushi in the world.
During this trip, he had a close contact with several military governors. He was best at dealing with people, so the relationship was very close.
In the future, military and political separation were separated, and without the powerful person like the governor, many things became heartbreaking.
Xu Ji felt a little uneasy because he arranged for many people to serve in the local area, and many of them were trained to become the next governor.
This is a huge plan, not something that can be completed within one or two years. It can be as fast as ten years, and it can be as slow as fifteen years and twenty years.
Even so, he expected that he could influence the governors. As long as there were five or six governors in the world of Daning, his status as prime minister would be as stable as a rock.
At that time, let alone those great generals, even if His Majesty wants to touch him, he must think carefully.
But now suddenly, His Majesty has thought like this, which seems a bit abnormal.
Although the people trained by Xu Ji could not become military governors in the future and could become masters of the Taoist government, they could still be regarded as officials of the border, but they had no soldiers.
There are war soldiers and generals in each road, and one guard is guarding one road. What can the Lord of the Daofu do?
The power seems to be great and the official position seems to be high, but the soldiers and soldiers of the warriors cannot be mobilized.
"It seems I'm going to change my way, too."
Xu Ji breathed heavily.
But until now, Xu Ji doesn't think that His Majesty did this to target him.
Rather than targeting him, it is better to target the Jiedu system established during the State of Chu.
The Jiedushi was really powerful and had a heavy army in his hands. He could be called the local emperor.
"Military power...it seems to be impossible to touch."
Xu Ji muttered to himself.
"Academy?"
Chapter completed!
