Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

After Shang Bo entered the Ministry of Rites holding the edict of the King of Yue, he had a long talk with the Ministry of Rites for a day.

Whether it is the people in Zhongshushe or the officials from the Ministry of Rites, they all keep silent about the content of the long talk.

However, rumors spread from the Ministry of Rites that the King of Yue intended to change the imperial examination system and the Guozijian system.

Soon the Ministry of Rites began to get busy.

The Sixth Department is the core department of the Tang Dynasty. Originally, the officials in Chang'an were all in the mood of watching the excitement. The King of Yue was in Longyou. Longyou has never said that there are any talents that can be obtained. In the end, this is a major court event. To rely on us to be officials.

Even if the king of Yue wants to build his own team, he will have to wait until after several imperial examinations to accumulate talents who are loyal to him before he can fully control the court.

That's what Li Heng did.

After returning to Chang'an, most of the six officials were still members of the emperor's time, and Li Heng didn't have enough talents to control the six departments.

The only thing that Li Heng can control is Fifth Qi who works in the household department of Duzhi. This is because Fifth Qi reformed the salt law in Jianghuai and has a great reputation in financial matters, and Fifth Qi itself is a financial planner. Li Heng can control the Ministry of Households only if he is a minister.

Chaotang, a dilapidated machine, can only lubricate the stuck gears, and it is lucky that it can barely run.

But no one thought that King Yue had so many talents under his command!

The staff of Zhongshushe of the King of Yue caught the six departments by surprise, and the departments such as the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Punishment were almost wiped out, and the people of Zhongshushe of the King of Yue took over the official duties of these departments. These three departments seemed to have replaced new parts. The engine started running quickly.

The Ministry of War was directly taken over by the Zhongshushe people of the King of Yue, and the staff department of the inner court was directly above the Ministry of War. The Shangshu of the Ministry of War became a special machine responsible for stamping. After Xu Jun took control of the Ministry of War, he immediately followed the military system of Longyou. Adaptation of the Guanzhong Army.

The Ministry of Rites is still in its original state, but people from Zhongshushe of the King of Yue often come and go to the Ministry of Rites, and the entire Ministry of Rites is full of voices of discussion.

Finally, there is the most sensitive official department. The members of Zhongshushe of the King of Yue are immersed in the investigation of the official department every day, and the court has never taken large-scale actions against the official department.

The reason is also very simple, the Ministry of Officials is really too important.

The Ministry of Officials is not only related to the court, but also related to the entire official system of Datang.

King Yue reorganized the Ministry of Household, Ministry of Industry, and Ministry of Punishment, which basically had no impact on the Tang Dynasty.

The main assessment of the Ministry of Households is the rent and mediocrity paid by the localities. In recent years, the world has been in turmoil, and the imperial court has much less control over the taxes paid by the localities than before. What the Ministry of Households can control now is the Guanzhong area and the areas along the water transport.

During the reign of the emperor, the court overhauled the palace, and the Ministry of Industry was responsible for apportioning construction needs to the localities at that time, and the power was also enormous.

But after Li Heng succeeded to the throne, even the dilapidated palaces in Daming Palace and Taiji Palace were reluctant to repair. The only job of the Ministry of Industry was to repair the official office of Nanya, which had no influence on the local area.

This is especially true for departments such as the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War. The local government only deals with them in professional fields, and it is fine to discuss official affairs.

But the Ministry of Officials can't do it. The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the assessment, promotion, and dismissal of all officials in the court, which is closely related to the fate of every official in the local area.

Therefore, the results of the official department's handling have not come down for a long time, and the King of Yue sent a group of Zhongshu Sheren to the official department to sort out the official files.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the envoys from Chang'an arrived at the front line of Xiangzhou and handed over the emperor's edict to Guo Ziyi.

After seeing the edict, Guo Ziyi let out a long sigh of relief. There was no violent conflict in Chang'an, and the emperor and the king of Yue handed over power almost smoothly. This is the best news for the front line!
"Father handsome!" Shi Chaoqing walked into Shi Siming's handsome tent, only saw Shi Siming's bearded and unkempt appearance, and said hypocritically:

"Is the father-in-law still mourning for his brother? The father-in-law is the coach of Hedong, so you should cheer up!"

Shi Siming stood up and said:
"That rebellious son died as soon as he died. I felt sorry for my father and buried Fan Yangjun!"

"Let's not talk about that rebellious son. Giving Fan Yang to him back then was the biggest mistake a father ever made!"

Shi Siming is a person who is ruthless, let alone Shi Chaoyi is his son, even if it is his father, he will give up without hesitation for his personal future and wealth.

Shi Siming stood up, walked up and down in the handsome tent and said:

"Has Li Baochen come back yet?"

Shi Chaoqing lowered his head and said:
"not yet."

Shi Siming was anxious like a trapped animal. He still had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, but anyone who knew a little about military affairs knew that he was already at the end of his battle.

Three towns lost two towns, leaving only one town in Hedong struggling to support.

These hundreds of thousands of troops are about to drag down Hedong.

Fan Yang is the granary of the three towns in Hedong. The loss of Fan Yang has dealt a great blow to Shi Siming's army. Now the army's food supply is insufficient.

When Li Fuguo left the front line, there was also some confusion in Tang Jun's front line.Shi Siming also seized some opportunities and entered the Tang army camp.

But Shi Siming was worried about the lack of food and grass, so he couldn't go deep into the enemy camp. Guo Ziyi reacted and immediately sent reinforcements to drive Shi Siming's army out.

For this sake, it is no longer better to fight than anyone else, but to compare who makes fewer mistakes, and whoever makes mistakes can quickly correct them.

Combat with a large army is a process of getting worse. As long as the opponent is worse than yourself, the battle is basically won.

At this time, another personal guard entered the commander's tent and delivered the latest military information sent by the spies ahead.

Shi Siming's eyesight has been getting worse these years, and these important information were read to him by Shi Chaoqing.

When Shi Chaoqing opened the information, he was startled at the beginning of the information, "King Yue entered the Xuanwu Gate..."

When Shi Chaoqing finished reading, Shi Siming sat on the ground dejectedly.

"Father?"

Shi Siming said blankly: "I'm afraid we will die without a place to bury us!"

Shi Chaoqing quickly said:
"Father commander still has 40 troops in his hands, how can we talk about defeat!"

Shi Siming said dejectedly:

"If there is internal fighting in Chang'an, our army still has a chance. Now that the King of Yue has successfully taken over Chang'an, the front line of the Tang army is stable, and our army has no chance!"

After Shi Siming finished speaking, he heard the sound of the warning horn, and Guo Ziyi's army on the opposite side moved!
As the news of the excessive stability of the court spread to the front line, another envoy of the King of Yue announced his attitude of letting go of the past against Li Fuguo's party.

The imperial court’s grain, grass and supplies were delivered, and the morale of the front line was boosted. Guo Ziyi took advantage of the situation and launched a surprise attack, which caught Shi Siming by surprise. The Tang army’s front line pushed northward again, almost compressing Shi Siming’s troops to the edge of Xiangzhou.

Just when Shi Siming's army on the front line was in panic all day long, a small caravan entered Shi Siming's lair, Taiyuan City.

Although it was in wartime, the defenders of Taiyuan City did not check this caravan too much. The main reason was that the person in charge of this caravan was a branch of the Taiyuan Wang family.

Taiyuan is also called Jinyang, and the king of Jinyang is a well-known family in the world. Although the current Taiyuan Wang family is unwilling to become an official of Shi Siming, Shi Siming did not force them, and still respects them.

The Wang family of Taiyuan also let the side branches and in-laws serve as Shi Siming, and now less than half of the officials in Hedong are related to the Wang family of Taiyuan.

Historically, after the Anshi Rebellion was put down, the Taiyuan Wang family was still not liquidated and was still active on the political stage in Hedong.

Wang Jun is a branch that moved to Wuwei, but he still keeps in touch with his family.

Originally, after Wang Jun's team moved out, they didn't do much business with Taiyuan.

However, since the implementation of the Great Detour strategy, the Wuwei Wang family has started to trade with Taiyuan again. Wang Jun has been traveling back and forth between Taiyuan and Wuwei in the past year, and even the guards of the city gate have become acquainted with him.

This time Wang Jun sent Longyou specialties such as gemstones and spices. The guards at the gate just checked it routinely and let his convoy enter the city.

Qin Chuan rode on a horse, looked at Taiyuan City, and couldn't help admiring:

"As expected of the place where Gaozu raised his troops! It really is a mighty city in the world!"

"Be careful!"

Wang Jun hurriedly interrupted Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan's civil engineering occupational disease broke out along the way, and he kept criticizing the fortress passes along the way.

Although Wang Jun has the signboard of the Taiyuan Wang family, this is also Shi Siming's lair, and Wang Jun doesn't want to be caught in prison.

Now that the front line of Xiangzhou in Taiyuan City has lost, Fan Yang's Yu Chixin has been publishing proclamations to put pressure on Hedong.

Under the double-teaming of all parties, the atmosphere in Taiyuan City was quite tense.

Wang Jun led the caravan to the ancestral house of the Taiyuan Wang family in Jinyang City. After the goods were settled, Wang Jun led Qin Chuan into the old house.

"Old Wang, I didn't expect your family to be a local tyrant!"

Wang Jun covered his head, the Taiyuan Wang family is a famous family in the world, and Qin Chuan actually said that his family is a local tyrant.

However, Wang Jun did not dare to offend this Longyou general, not to mention that Qin Chuan came to Taiyuan this time to shoulder an important mission.

However, the Wang family's family rules are strict. Although Wang Jun is the direct son of the branch, he has to wait honestly when he asks to see the head of the Wang family.

Fortunately, Qin Chuan didn't feel bored. He turned on the game camera and kept shooting. As a civil engineering expert, this old house is too valuable for research.

Finally, when the Wang family met Wang Jun, Wang Jun hurriedly dragged Qin Chuan to the reception hall.

After seeing the Patriarch of the Wang family, Qin Chuan immediately said:

"The Taiyuan Wang family is about to face disaster!"
