Chapter 18 Military and Political Killing

Once Li Longji made up his mind, his decisive side of Congo was also reflected, saying: "Light, grind it for me."

Gao Lishi immediately took the blank edict and placed it in front of the imperial court. He skillfully grinded the ink and handed Li Longji the brush with the ink dipped ink.

Li Longji wrote straight and wrote in the edict: "Now, the locust plague in Longyou is prevalent, and it is a disaster for one side. I pity the suffering of the people. I specially appointed the Longyou Jiedushi and the chief censor of Liang Guogong Pei Min as the Longyou Censor, and will do his best to eliminate the locust plague. If the disaster is caused by heaven, I will be the emperor and one person will suffer it."

He pressed his seal and handed it over to Yao Chong and said, "Mr. Yao, do you think it's so good?"

Yao Chong took over Li Longji's edict and looked at Li Longji as he added Pei Min as the Longyou Censor, and he couldn't help but feel envious.

Even he was the prime minister who was less than one person and more than ten thousand people, and he couldn't help but be envious of this appointment.

What is the position of the Censor?

The Censor was an official position that was established in the early Tang Dynasty, which was responsible for inspecting various departments and assessing officials. However, in the second year of Jingyun, Emperor Ruizong of Tang Dynasty, it was established as a permanent official.

The Censor is actually a different level of military commander.

The Jiedushi was in charge of local military affairs and had the privilege of killing the military.

The Censor is responsible for controlling local governors, but is actually the superior of the governors of each state. He also has the right to take action first and then report, and is the "Supreme Emperor" on the governors of each state.

Once this appointment is issued, it means that Pei Min not only has military specialty, but also has the power to deal with all civilian officials in Longyou. It is not easy for Longyou to defend the king, and to hold the military and political power of the entire Longyou in his hand.

How majestic it was. Yao Chong claimed that he was inferior to tens of thousands of people in the past, and that was never like this.

However, now is an extraordinary moment. When doing extraordinary things, you can't take care of so many things and have no objections.

Li Longji passed the appointment letter to the prime minister of the three provinces without hesitation. According to the rules of the court, the emperor's appointment must be stamped by the prime minister before it can take effect.

As soon as this edict was passed to the Menxia Province, Huangmen Minister and the Huangmen Pingzhang incident together with Ziwei Huangmen Pingzhang Qian Yao was shocked when he saw the edict.

He was so scared that he quickly summoned the prime ministers to discuss together.

"This is too honorable and too favored!" Lu Huaishen was full of jealousy. It would be fine if Li Longji didn't listen to him. He was so embarrassed by the promotion of his opponents who disobeyed his many times.

Yuan Qianyao also said: "I also think that although Duke Pei is a hero of the times, his civil and military achievements are indeed significant. However, this governor and the Censor were the same, and it has not been common throughout history, and it is not easy to be transferred to the title of king, and it is even more powerful than the king."

The disadvantages of the feudal system have long been revealed, so the sons of the emperor, although they have the title of prince, actually have no power to be a title.

This appointment is just a matter of time, and Pei Min and his civil and military are specialized in killing each other, which is even more powerful than the king at this time.

The prime ministers also looked at each other speechlessly, and they all saw the shock in each other's eyes.

After a while, Yuan Qianyao said bitterly: "I am a little talented and knowledgeable, but I really don't know if this seal should be stamped! I hope everyone will give me some advice..."

Ziwei's minister, the Tong Pingzhang official, frowned and said, "I think this precedent cannot be opened!"

"Will you go back?" Yuan Qianyao asked.

Everyone stopped talking.

Indeed, the prime minister had the power to reject the emperor's imperial edict, which Wei Zheng often did in his early years.

So Li Shimin was so angry that he blew his beard and stamped his feet many times, but he just didn't change this rule. Li Shimin was well aware of checks and balances, and the emperor was above all over the world. If no one checked and balanced, if it was a mediocre master, it would cause chaos in the world.

Therefore, the prime minister has the power to check and balance the emperor!

However, although the prime minister has the power to reject the emperor's edict, the emperor has the power to abolish and choose ministers.

Li Longji is not Li Shimin, they are not Wei Zheng.

If Li Longji is angered and their phase is destroyed, it will be a huge loss.

"It's printed!" Prime Minister Song Jing, who had not spoken in the end, spoke: "It's an extraordinary time now, and the disaster in Longyou is serious. If the disaster strikes Guanzhong, it's unimaginable."

Lu Huaishen muttered, "That kid is OK. What if it is true that the accident happened in the Han Dynasty, Liu Cong, wouldn't it be a disaster?"

Song Jing said: "When it comes to achievements, who can compare with the Duke of the Kaiyuan dynasty except Yao Xiang? He is so sure that he should have his own wonderful methods. We are far away in Chang'an, so we can only wait and see. Besides, the situation is already like this, no matter how bad it is, how bad it can be."

Lu Huaishen was speechless.

Yuan Gan Yao finally stamped the seal on him.

The emperor issued an edict and the prime minister signed the seal.

This appointment officially takes effect.

************

Shanzhou!

Although the various places were extremely uncooperating, Pei Min still used the Longyou Army to destroy locusts within his ability, and also paid close attention to all the movements of the locusts.

Locusts are insects that like groups. They will gather together involuntarily, gathering more and more until they swallow the vegetation and plants in the ground, and they will sweep towards the grassland together.

Usually at this time, their number will be calculated in tens of millions.

If the locust legions from several states and counties gather together, it will be hundreds of millions. They keep eating and giving birth to children.

The most terrifying thing is that the hotter the weather is, the faster the locusts grow. A larva can grow into an adult in less than seven days under the heat.

In response to this situation, Pei Min divided the Longyou Army into two groups, one to hunt and another to investigate, explore various parts of Longyou, and look for large-scale locust gatherings.

If you find a locust that gathers on a large scale, immediately notify the hunting team to slaughter.

With limited manpower, Pei Min can only choose to kill the locusts gathered together, and cannot do a carpet-like elimination.

Even so, Pei Min feels that there is not enough staff.

The locusts cannot be killed, but instead give people the illusion that more and more people are killed. The soldiers gradually feel a little weak in their hearts, and they are worried that they will kill too much and suffer retribution.

Pei Min once again emphasized to Zhang Jiuling: "Tell all soldiers that locusts are not killed more and more, but they cannot grow faster than they grow faster, so they have more and more illusions. If they are not killed, the consequences will be much more terrible than now. The soldiers cannot be affected by this unhealthy trend."

"Yes!" Zhang Jiuling didn't sleep well for several days, and stared at dark circles.

The locust-catching Su Qi walked into the Jiedushi's office with anger on his face, looked at Pei Min and sighed: "Governor, the Chief Secretary brought the people to sacrifice to the sky, and I don't know what kind of tricks to do."

The Locust Catcher was assigned and appointed from the Censorate, which was Pei Min's hometown. After the new Locust Catcher issued Li Longji's appointment, he immediately came to pay his respects to his old boss.

Pei Min initially thought Longyou was saved, but they all started playing the drama of resisting the book.

Pei Min smiled coldly after hearing this, and said, "I don't understand this, but I'm sincere. Even if Shanzhou is destroyed, the people will see their efforts, and they can shift the blame to me and let me take the blame."

Just talking!
