Chapter 14 Plans and Changes

The poisonous wound on Zhang Shougui's body had not been cured. Faced with Pei Min's "aggressiveness", in a hurry, the old wound relapsed and fell ill on the bed.

He called Zhang Kang in front of him, and Zhang Shougui said weakly: "Kang'er, you have always been very wise. What do you think in the current situation?"

Zhang Kang said angrily: "The adoptive father is seriously ill, how can he travel far? If the child is willing to go to Chang'an instead of his adoptive father, I don't believe it. We father and son are loyal to the country, and Pei Min can still kill us."

He looked righteous.

Zhang Kang's play is so good.

Zhang Shougui did not doubt him at all, and sighed and said, "Pei Min is not easy to fool. Today he dares to place troops in Daizhou, and tomorrow he will dare to cut off our food. Our Northeast Army has been through a long battle formation. When it comes to strength, I believe that it is not inferior to Pei Min's Helong army. However, the land in the north is barren, with a large land and sparse population, and insufficient food and grass. Once Pei Min cuts off the military rations, we will fall into a state of death and have no chance of winning. This time, it is imperative to be a father and cannot be faked."

It was because Zhang Kang knew this that he dared to say that he was acting on behalf of others. He also pretended to say, "Let's do this, adoptive father, I'll go with you, and I'll take care of you along the way."

"No!" Zhang Shougui immediately refused and said loudly: "Pei Min, that bastard, I don't say that 200,000 soldiers in the four towns, but I only have 100,000 people here, but I actually suspect that I have a strange intention? Once our father and son go to Chang'an, they will definitely go but never return, and their lives are still in danger. At that time, the Northeast Army has no leader and will only make the bastard for nothing. My son is in the Northeast, and he has a guarantee for his father to go to Chang'an."

Zhang Kang said with a worried look on his face, "But the child is worried about his adoptive father!"

Zhang Shougui was filled with emotion and comforted him: "Don't worry, Chang'an is not a tiger's den, why haven't you seen the storm and waves of his father? I don't believe it, Pei Min can cover the sky with one hand!"

Zhang Kang looked worried, but said in his heart: "I don't know if Chang'an is a tiger's den, but you old guy, don't think about coming back again after you go."

Even a top character like Li Longji was confused by his acting skills, let alone Zhang Shougui?

As soon as he decided to enter the capital, Zhang Shougui also showed the courage of the masters and immediately set off to go south.

News of Zhang Shougui entering the capital reached Chang'an.

Most people in Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief.

No one wants to experience the civil war.

No matter what the situation is or what situation, the civil war consumes all its own strength.

Especially now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, he needs to be stable and stable.

In fact, many ministers in the court did not agree with Pei Min's act of transferring 100,000 troops to Daizhou.

They feel that such behavior is too radical, and if you are not careful, you may cause a disaster.

This is also the unique mentality of most literati. They do not seek merit, but seek no mistakes.

At the same time, they could not do anything to Pei Min. Now Pei Min is in power and cannot change any of Pei Min's decisions at all.

Pei Min knew that the appetites of the vassal states were accustomed to the weak court.

The more the court was afraid of things, the greater the taste of Bian Shuai, the greater the ambition, and the more things he wanted.

If Zhang Shougui is indulged today, then Li Shougui and Wang Shougui will appear tomorrow. There were ten military governors in the Tang Dynasty, and there were a few more. Where can the imperial court have prestige?

When it is time to be tough, you must be tough.

No one hates civil war more than Pei Min himself, and hates his own people to beat him, but he must not be afraid because of his annoyance. When he really wants to fight, he has to let go and fight.

Only in this way can the losses be truly minimized.

Pei Min received the news that Zhang Shougui had entered the capital, but he did not show that he was as happy as most civil and military officials.

This is just the first step. Zhang Shougui has been a border commander in the Northeast for more than ten years, and his strength is deeply rooted. To eliminate this problem, he still needs the second and third steps.

At present, it's just a good start.

Not only the Northeast, but the entire Tang Dynasty was a good start.

Song Jing came out of the mountain, and before he began to rectify the administration, the institutions of the Tang Dynasty had already begun to operate quickly.

Song Jing had amazing methods of governing officials. He not only targeted those incompetent officials, but also showed no mercy to those capable officials who were unwilling to do it with their hearts and dereliction of duty.

The officials who had originally relaxed because of Li Longji's indulgence were all relieved and did not dare to leave early and arrive late.

Once this official was serious, the administration of the entire dynasty became more efficient and smooth.

Many things can be solved easily, and many things that are delayed and untreated will be eliminated bit by bit.

At the same time, Pei Min did not save face for Li Longji like this. The entire organization was deleted without leaving any of it, and continued to use the previous draft methods.

There are also some that are not beneficial to the world, and Li Longji is simply reorganized for the sake of enjoyment.

Pei Min felt that he was like a designer, planning a beautiful blueprint for the future of the Tang Dynasty, deleting all the disadvantages and choosing some policies that benefit the country and the people to make up for it.

At the Prime Ministers' Political Affairs Hall Meeting, Pei Min made strategic arrangements in terms of literature, martial arts and diplomacy.

"The development of Jiangnan is imperative and the general trend is to be carried out! The main farmers and auxiliary merchants are fully handled by Li Xiang, and the Ministry of Works will cooperate with each other. Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. Jiangnan is a water town and country, and there are countless excellent shipbuilders hidden among the people. I propose to set up a reward system to give those skilled craftsmen, either financial encouragement, land, or convenience for their descendants to serve as officials. In short, this matter is related to the great success of our Tang Dynasty, and we must not be careless."

Pei Min can imagine how many people he would praise today in more than ten years.

As long as the Maritime Silk Road is opened, Jiangnan will become a fragrant treasure land.

"As for diplomacy, the Ministry of Rites should pay more attention. Our dynasty now needs to reflect one thing: international influence. What is international influence? International influence is the proportion of its position in the hearts of surrounding vassal states. The greater our influence, the more they are willing to hold us and form a strategic alliance. The world is so big that it is beyond our imagination. It is difficult for us to conquer all places and make us the territory of our Tang Dynasty, but we can use our power and power to win over a group of younger brothers, become leaders, and interfere in the affairs of the world."

Pei Min said that many prime ministers and ministers who attended the meeting looked at Pei Min with some shock.

Without giving them time to digest, Pei Min said: "As for military affairs, in the short term, I have the idea of ​​reforming the military system, and I don't plan to move troops. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and you must wait until the world returns to your heart and the temple is stable before he thinks."

Pei Min formulated the development trend of the Tang Dynasty in the next five years, but the plan could never keep up with the changes.

In the first year of Zhaoyuan, emergency military information came from the Western Regions.

Arabia attacked the Shi Kingdom, and the chief of the Anxi Protectorate, Yan Gaoqing, and Feng Changqing, the governor of Anxi, were trapped in an isolated city.
