Chapter 6 Chang'an County Lieutenant
happy New Year!
"Your Highness, you are the King of Qin, Shang Shuling and Zhongshu Ling, Yongzhou Mu, General Tiance, General of the Twelve Guards, Taiwei and Situ!"
Li Shimin smiled wryly, "So what, now I am completely emptied out. There is Pei Ji in the Shangshu Province, Yang Gongren in the Zhongshu Province, and Yuanji in the subordinate province. They are all the people of His Majesty and the Crown Prince. It's just empty words, the generals of the Twelve Guards are in charge of the army, and they don't have any real power."
"No, it works. Now, these titles are useless, but if, I mean if there is a special situation, would these titles be useful?"
"Can Shang Shuling order Shangshu to shoot from left and right, can Zhongshu Ling order to review Zhongshu Ling? Can General Tiance mobilize troops, can the generals of the Twelve Guards command the troops?"
"Can Yongzhou Mu take over the capital?"
Qin Lang asked questions one after another.
Li Shimin was in a daze when asked.
"Special case?"
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince intends to launch the Kunming Pond Change in three days. After killing you, you will be killed suddenly, so everything is possible!" Qin Lang crazily hinted to Li Shimin vaguely.
I dare not say this kind of thing too clearly, I have to prevent being blamed, but for the future of the Qin family and myself, I have to hint.
Similar words, the group of confidantes in the Qin Palace have basically told Li Shimin many times.
Li Shimin was silent.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui all proposed to kill the Crown Prince and the King of Qi, and Hou Junji and other confidants even more radically proposed to go directly to the East Palace. Even Hou Qun, Zhang Liang and Changsun Wuji directly told him to launch a palace change to seize the throne!
He has also started to make some preparations. For example, he has already bought Chang He, the general of the Xuanwu Gate, and Jing Junhong, the general of the Tunying of the North Gate, etc., but he hesitates every time he makes up his mind.
Brother Zhu,
patricide,
Even if it succeeds, it will bear the infamy of one life or even thousands of generations.
Chang'an Palace Change!
This is a dangerous move for soldiers, and it is the most dangerous move.
Li Shimin began to think, is he the only choice left?
Li Shimin had always hoped to change the emperor's mind, and the emperor would abolish the crown prince and replace him as a reserve. After this road failed, his plan was also to manage the Luoyang base camp, hoping that he would fight for the throne with the emperor after the emperor made a big trip. .
Gong Bian, this is the most dangerous move that the confidantes of Prince Qin's mansion have long thought of, and even secretly deduced countless times with King Qin. It is also the move he is least sure of, and it is also a move he has never wanted to use.
It's too risky, and even if it succeeds, the infamy of killing brothers and fathers will affect his life, and may even make it difficult for him to control the world and win people's hearts.
But now Qin Lang reminded him that time is running out, and he, Li Shimin, cannot leave Chang'an City at all.
Shall I sit in the world with the infamy, or sit and wait for death?
But there are only 800 people in the district, can things really be done?
Li Shimin frowned, caught in a dilemma.
"Your Highness, my father is now the deputy commander of the Northern Expedition to the Turks. The tens of thousands of troops assembled in the Weishui camp in Chang'an are controlled by Qi Wang Yuanji, my father and Li Yi, but Li Yi is now in Bin (bin) state. Therefore, as long as Yuanji is not in the camp, my father will be the supreme commander of this army, this is a powerful army, although it is stationed by the Wei River, it can come at any time!" Qin Lang had to give Li Shimin another Increased chips and confidence.
"Sanlang, do you know how long the prince has been running Chang'an? And how long has your Majesty been running Guanzhong?" Li Shimin said bitterly. When he was fighting for the Tang Dynasty, the prince stayed in Chang'an to assist the government, and the emperor even After entering Guanzhong, he never left Chang'an again.
"Your Highness, there are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, and there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. How long can Your Highness last?"
"His Royal Highness wants to retreat to Luoyang, but the crown prince will never give you this opportunity, and His Majesty will not agree."
He leaned closer to Li Shimin, and directly said something more serious, "Hasn't Your Highness ever thought about why the prince dared to plan the change of Kunming Lake? Isn't he afraid of the consequences?"
Li Shimin's eyes showed shock.
In the past few years, the dispute between the crown prince and the King of Qin has become more and more fierce, and the emperor has gradually changed his attitude of mediating and impartiality to supporting the crown prince. Even the fact that he was ostracized recently was entirely at the emperor's will, and only the emperor has this power.
"Impossible, I was born and died for Datang, conquering everything... I have made great contributions to Datang, and I am still His Majesty's son..."
"Your Highness, there are only three days left before the Kunming Lake plan. This is our last chance to fight back. If we miss it, we don't know what kind of insidious move they will make next time. If Your Highness hesitates again, if they are plotted against, then Just think about Cheng Qian and the others, think about Princess Changsun and the others, and think about the countless old brothers who fought and fought with His Highness!"
Li Shimin was a little moved by Qin Lang's words. Having seen countless big scenes, he really couldn't imagine such a tragic situation.
"The prince also murdered me before, poisoned my wine, and accused me of treason, but they have all come here. Even if His Majesty refuses to be my prince, will he harm me? After all, we are father and son."
History tells Qin Lang that Li Shimin will be a wise and great emperor, and Datang will go further and better under his leadership.
"Your Highness, look at the sky, look at the Taibaijin star!"
"Taibai Jingtian, in Qin Fen, King Qin should rule the world. This is a sign of the sky. If the sky accepts it, he will be blamed instead!" Helplessly, Qin Lang had to move out even the sky.
At this moment, Qin Lang finally understood why in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, the most favorite thing for those soldiers and generals under Jiedushi was to persuade their superiors to rebel.
"Unexpectedly, Shu Bao, who has always been prudent, would persuade me like this. It seems that the time of last resort may have come." Li Shimin sighed.
"Are you Zuo Wei Xunwei now?" Li Shimin asked suddenly.
Qin Lang nodded. The honored guards belonged to the three guards, and they were also the soldiers of the inner palace. They were all selected by the children of meritorious nobles and high-ranking officials. Participate in the Ministry of Officials Examination, and after passing the examination, you can be officially appointed as an official. This is also a privilege given by the emperor to those noble officials, so that their children have a channel to become an official.
Thus, although the three guards have official ranks of seven or eight ranks, they are actually only a preparatory trainee official, not a real official, and they don't even have a salary.
"For the convenience of communication, I asked Gao Shilian to transfer you to Yongzhou Mansion. If you have anything to do, you can pass it to me directly through him." Li Shimin thought for a while.
Gao Shilian is the uncle of the eldest grandson of Princess Qin. He is currently in charge of the government of Yongzhou Prefecture. In fact, he presides over the government office of Yongzhou Prefecture.
"I've just been a guard in Zuowei for two years, and I'm not yet qualified for Shi Brown to be an official."
"It's okay, this is easy to solve." For Li Shimin, no matter how long he was in the shallows, it was still very easy for him to arrange for Qin Lang to take up a position in Yongzhou Mansion.
In this way, it will indeed be much more convenient. After all, Qin Qiong is still a 'hidden stake in the East Palace'. Qin Lang can't always go to Li Shimin to report the news.
Li Shimin has not yet returned to the Qin Palace, but they have quickly made arrangements for Qin Lang.
Qin Lang had just returned home when he received an appointment letter.
"Chang'an county lieutenant?"
I don't know how Li Shimin did it. In a short period of time, a Chang'an county lieutenant transfer letter sealed by the Ministry of Officials was sent to Yi Guogong's mansion.
He was officially appointed as the post of Chang'an County Captain under the eighth rank.
"Didn't my original Zuo Xunwei start from the seventh rank? Why did this Chang'an county lieutenant come down from the eighth rank and even drop to the fourth rank?" Qin Lang was a little puzzled.
"Sanlang, you are only a county magistrate in Jing County who can only be lowered from the eighth rank. Generally, the county captains in the middle and lower counties are the lowest from the ninth rank, which is four ranks lower than you. However, although your original Zuo Xunwei It's from the seventh rank, but that's just the third guard officer, and it can't be taken seriously. The third guard officer, Shi Brown, basically started from the middle and lower county magistrates, Guan Cheng, etc. from the ninth rank. You It was only two years since he was appointed as an honorary guard, and he was directly awarded the county captain of Jing County, which is an exception." Qin Yong had already returned home, and when he saw his doubts when he came back, he immediately explained it to him.
Although Zuo Xunwei came from the seventh rank, he was a reserve official with no salary, not a real rank official, while Jing County was a county lieutenant from the eighth rank, but he was a real official. Especially as a magistrate of Jing County, he actually has some real power.
Qin Lang smiled, thinking that although the King of Qin claimed to be ostracized, he was actually able to see the sky. It was just for the convenience of contact, and he was able to get such an important position for him immediately, which greatly boosted his confidence.
"Chang'an County Lieutenant, so I am not the chief of Chang'an County?"
"Sanlang, you think too much. Chang'an County has a county magistrate, a county magistrate, and a magistrate. Chang'an County has a county magistrate, two county magistrates, two magistrates, six county lieutenants, six military officers, and two county officials Recording affairs." As a capital county, the Chang'an county government is equipped with the best configuration, there are six county lieutenants, and one county lieutenant judges one Cao.
"There are six county lieutenants? So who is my county lieutenant in charge of?"
"Just now I asked Sanlang for you. You are in charge of judging Facao, in charge of prison Lifa, and supervising thieves. You know that the thieves have not entered."
Qin Lang understands this, he is the deputy county magistrate in charge of public security and justice, and Fa Cao is probably equivalent to a police station.
The county magistrate is the secretary, the county magistrate is the county magistrate and executive, and the master book is probably the deputy secretary. There are a lot of officials, but as a county in Beijing, it is understandable.
The west of Zhuque Street in Chang'an City is under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County, but there is also a Yongzhou Mansion in Chang'an City, so Chang'an belongs to the county attached to Guo, and the management of the county government and the state government overlaps. Hou Wei, Jianmenwei, Xingbu, Dali Temple, Yushitai and other central government agencies can also manage the affairs of the capital. Although the officials in Chang'an County are much higher in rank than ordinary counties, it is estimated that life will not be too easy.
After all, there are too many mothers-in-law above.
"Is there any requirement on when to take office?"
"I request you to immediately take office in the Chang'an County Government of Changshoufang, and there must be no mistakes."
