Chapter 22 Doubt is not good, no doubt is more headache

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

...

In Wude Hall, Li Longji smiled like a fool, and was dancing with his eyebrows. He tweaked the strings of the pipa from time to time, which was really hard to suppress his mood.

The locust plague was extinguished, and the person who was most happy was not the people of Longyou, but the high-ranking Li Longji.

This ancient man believed that he often regarded natural disasters as punishment from heaven, and the reason for punishment from heaven was caused by the lack of virtue.

The finger point is directed at him, the current emperor.

If Li Longji is a foolish king, he would not take it seriously.

But he claimed to be the heroic lord of Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang, who worked diligently to deal with state affairs. The three words "not cultivating virtue" made him feel wronged and wronged.

Pei Min's battle completely regained his lost reputation.

Although this time the locust was a contribution of Pei Min, if he had not been a person who knew others and had a strong arrangement for Pei Min as a censor, how could Pei Min have the power to mobilize hundreds of thousands of people in Longyou to destroy locusts?

At least half of this credit belongs to him.

Li Longji looked at Gao Lishi and said, "It's thanks to your advice, otherwise I'll be unable to make up my mind at once."

Gao Lishi hurriedly replied with a humble gift and said, "It's all the abilities of Duke Pei and Duke Yao. The clarification between you and Your Majesty is just the icing on the cake."

Li Longji also said, "It's a pity for Mr. Yao! Jingyuan is still capable and capable, so he has all pacified the locust plague. I remember that in the second year of Zhenguan, there was also a locust plague in my Tang Dynasty."

Gao Lishi was cautious and meticulous, and learned a lot. He said casually: "Your Majesty, this is true. It was also a severe drought at the time, but the severe drought at that time was much worse than the severe drought that Your Majesty has experienced today. At that time, it was just a severe drought in the capital. Taizong found locusts in his yard and caught a few saying, "People take grain as their life, and you eat it, which harms the people. The people have made mistakes. If you give me a person, you will have a spirit, but it will damage my heart and harm the people." So he ate the locusts. The locust plague at that time did not have a great impact, and people all regard it as the reason for the benevolence of Emperor Taizong."

Li Longji smiled and said, "It seems that this may not be the case now. I am afraid that the locust plague was not heavy at the beginning and the rain fell in time is the real reason. Thinking about it, I feel happy that there are so many talented people under Emperor Taizong's command. Li Jing, Li Ji, Hou Junji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian, Cen Wenben, so many powerful people, facing this locust plague, they are still not as good as Pei Jingyuan in my hands."

After a pause, Li Longji said again: "I want Jingyuan to record all the process of destroying locusts in detail and put them in the warehouse. People in the world know how to destroy locusts, so as to avoid unnecessary disasters from the people."

Gao Lishi was busy flattering.

After Li Longji was overjoyed, he looked at the memorials on the table and scratched his head with a headache, and dealt with it with a little helplessness.

Sweet rains came from the sky, drought and locust plagues were eliminated, but the aftermath was heavy.

Longyou suffered heavy losses and needed the imperial court to allocate funds to provide disaster relief, re-plan and construction of the land, so that the people can survive the difficult year safely until the harvest next year. Many things need to be decided by him, the emperor.

Li Longji reviewed the memorials one by one. Suddenly, he looked at the advice from the censor in his hand, frowned, threw the memorials away, and said coldly: "It's burned!"

Gao Lishi picked it up in his hand and didn't look at it, just waiting to burn it later.

After reviewing a few more memorials, Li Longji saw another suggestion that was almost the same as before, and said angrily: "Does this one regard me as an ungrateful person?" He threw the memorial to Gao Lishi and said: "Look, what is it written? Let me remove me from the position of Jingyuan's Censorship? Jingyuan made such a great contribution and saved hundreds of thousands of victims in Longyou. Once the locust plague retreated, I asked me to take back my life and kill my donkeys? He also said that handing over the civil and military regime to one person would be very unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty, and it was simply nonsense..."

Li Longji was so angry that he didn't disappear for a while. He said angrily: "I have always been using people without doubt. I don't use them. If I use Jingyuan, I will trust him not to betray me. They said this one by one, as if Jingyuan was going to betray me. Compared to loyalty, they really think they can compare with Jingyuan? It's outrageous!"

Gao Lishi hurriedly persuaded Li Longji to calm down.

Li Longji patiently reviewed it again.

Suddenly, he saw the familiar font, frowned, and asked, "This seems to be the word Jingyuan?" He pulled it back and marked Pei Min's name, and said with a smile: "I have given him the power to go directly to Tianting. If you have any questions, it is not good to hand it over to me. Why should I pass it to the Secretariat and then follow the process to my hands?" He shook his head and said, "It's a waste of time!"

After reading the contents of Pei Min's memorial, Li Longji slapped the table and said: "What is Jingyuan thinking? Do you think of me as Goujian who has hidden all the birds, or can share hardships, and cannot share wealth and honor? He even wrote a memorial to say that he was not talented and virtuous, and he wanted to resign from his post as a Censor and fool me!" He stood up and crossed the crossing trail: "Lishi, you immediately draft an imperial edict, thinking that Pei Min leads the people of Longyou to overcome natural disasters, and specially grants the title of Grand Governor of Shanzhou and leads all things in Shanzhou. He told him openly that if he dares to refuse, I will grant him the title of Longyou Division Envoy, so that he can be responsible for the comfort and relief work in Longyou."

Gao Lishi smiled bitterly and said, "Old slave, receive the order."

When Li Longji's appointment was passed to Shanzhou, Longyou, Pei Min was a little stunned.

If he resigns, why is he prosecuted to be appointed as an official position instead?

Especially when he heard that he refused, he added the Longyou Branch Commander, which was so scared that Pei Min was shocked.

The power of the Longyou Division is far less than that of the Jiedushi and the Censor, but its main power is to pay financial resources and allocate materials.

In other words, once Pei Min was appointed as the commander of Longyou, he would be the real Tu Emperor of Longyou. Not only did he hold the power of life and death in military and political affairs, but he also held the power of Longyou's financial power, combining the three major powers of military, political and financial resources. What is the difference between it and the Tu Emperor?

"I, thank your Majesty for your holy grace!"

Faced with this situation, Pei Min was not easy to refuse, so he had to accept it.

The super-long official position was added with another Grand Governor of Shanzhou...

The civil and military officials under his command naturally celebrated.

Especially Li Linfu, his eyes were burning and he said, "The Duke of the State is really favored by the emperor. Your Majesty has trusted you very much. From ancient times to the present, there are few comparable ones!"

Pei Min smiled bitterly and said to himself: "This is exactly what I worry about."

It is said that it is not good for the emperor to be suspicious, and it is easy to kill people by mistake, creating unreasonable cases. However, an emperor is not suspicious at all, which is also a very headache.

Pei Min was naturally happy that Li Longji gave him power, but if the partner was replaced by Li Linfu, An Lushan and others, and they trusted him so much, then he would be over.

I glanced at Li Linfu, and naturally I couldn't say anything to Li Linfu.
