Chapter 417 The Roots of the Rise
On November 18, the third year of Xianheng, Lanzhou's emergency report spread to Luoyang. The death of Qiu Shenxun, the deputy governor of Hexi, shocked the government and the government. Gao Zong was furious and made an edict to discuss the use of troops in Tibet. The ministers persuaded each other with the cold weather and did not fit the opportunity to use the army. Gao Zong accepted it. However, his anger still did not subside. He gave an edict to discuss this matter. Unresolved, Ming Chongyan came to the book on the 21st. He said that the case was full of mysteries, and he was afraid that there was something else. He asked for a thorough investigation of the whole case. Prince Li Xian was deeply convinced and called the ministers to discuss the root of the case. Fan Jubing, a bachelor from the North Gate, proposed that the case should be presided over by Pei Shoude, a member of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. All the ministers had no objection. The matter was settled and reported to Gaozong; 23 On the same day, Emperor Gaozong issued an edict to give Pei Shoude the power to use the camera. In addition, he issued an edict to remove Liu Yi from the position of Lanzhou governor and was demoted to the magistrate to Guangwu County. The candidate for the assassin was drawn up by the Ministry of officials and agreed to Li Xian's request. In this way, he made the deputy governor of Hexi, and allocated some money and grain for the reconstruction of Hexi.
Although the imperial edict is still on the way, Li Xian has already known everything in Luoyang City. Seeing that things can be solved so smoothly, Li Xian's mood is in a good mood. As for the follow-up, Li Xian doesn't care at all. Although he wastes the handle of the king of Yue, it is compared with the peace of Hexi. Ning, this price is also worth it. As long as the Empress Dowager Wu no longer sends people to make trouble in Hexi, of course, even if Queen Wu doesn't give up, she still has to send people to mess around. Li Xian doesn't care. At worst, as much as he can kill as he wants. Killing one left and right is also killing, and killing ten is also killing. It depends on whether Queen Wu has the courage to go to the river. Obviously, Empress Wu did not dare to intervene so openly in this bottomless hole. As for the private black hand, Li Xian didn't pay attention to it at all. Isn't it just more fierce? Who is afraid?
The war is over, and there is no need to worry about external troubles for the time being. In addition to internal worries, the situation in Hexi can be said to be a good situation for Li Xian, and it is time to comprehensively revitalize the Hexi economy. However, Li Xian is not in a hurry to issue a decree, or even did not convene the history of the state. On the contrary, it is easy to lead Zhang Cambodia. A limited number of people quietly came out of Lanzhou City, and rushed to the backing town where Li He's troops were stationed.
Back to the mountain town, as the name implies, is a small town with a small population, and there are only more than 200 families. Basically, they are all Han people. They are not very famous mountains and rivers, or even have no name. Speaking of which, it is just an unknown town. It is not far from Lanzhou City, but it is less than 30 miles. The distance is convenient. Except for the continuous mountains in the east of the town, all directions are Pingchuan. Now Li He, who is now General Zuo Wei, is stationed here with 3,000 troops. When Li Xian arrives, Li He has been waiting outside the town for a long time.
"See Your Highness, the last general!"
As soon as he saw Li Xian and Zhang Jianzhi coming down from the carriage, Li He immediately led A Gutai, Wang Yu and Zhang Chen to meet them and bowed to greet each other.
"Well, get up."
The cavalry in Li He's hand is Li Xian's private soldier. In the past, there was no way but to rely on the name of the Protectorate of Anxi University. Now that Hexi is under Li Xian's control, it is naturally impossible to protect others. Since the First World War in Hezhou, Li Xian has managed to go through the formalities from the military department and transferred Li He's department to Lanzhou. Therefore, it is Li Xian's intention to place this elite in the backer's town, which is not very noticeable. At this time, the four tiger generals who salute themselves are all Xuanang people. They are quite gratified, but they don't say much. They just raise their hands with a smile and order very gently.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Although Li Xian was exempt from gifts, Li He and others did not dare to be casual. They thanked each other according to the rules. Then they stood up straight and looked at Li Xian one by one, waiting for Li Xian's instructions.
"It's all casual. If you come here alone, you don't want to stir up the masses, and let the children all disperse. Well, pass on the order of loneliness. Today, I will reward the three armies. Each group of wine and two jars of wine, half a catty of meat per person!"
Li Xian did not come here to inspect the troops, but had other arrangements. Under the tight time, there was not much delay, so he ordered with a smile.
"No!"
Li He was ordered to be stationed in the mountain town. Naturally, he knew the secrets hidden in the town. Hearing Li Xian's words, he immediately understood Li Xian's intention and did not dare to neglect it. He quickly turned around and ran back to the team and announced Li Xian's appreciation in a loud voice, which immediately caused cheers from the whole army.
"Your Highness, please!"
Li He was afraid of delaying Li Xian's big event. He did not dare to let a group of officers and soldiers toss around. He scolded him a few times and dismissed the departments. Then he rushed back to Li Xian and waved his hand respectfully to sign Li Xian to go first.
"Hmm." Li Xian nodded with a smile, but he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he turned his body and gave up Zhang Jianzhi, who followed him silently. He introduced to Li He and others, "This is the lonely stock of Zhang Jianzhi and Mr. Zhang. It's like seeing an orphan."
"See Mr. Zhang!"
Although Zhang Jianzhi also participated in the Hezhou war, he was all dispatching grain in the old camp in the rear, and he had never been to the front line. Although Li He and others had been famous for a long time, it was the first time they met. Previously, when they saw Zhang Jianzhi and Li Xian got off the carriage together, they all doubted Zhang Jianzhi's identity. Hearing Li Xian's words, They were all shocked and dared not neglect themselves. They hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"You generals are polite. Zhang doesn't dare to do it."
Although Zhang Jianzhi and Li Xian walked in the same car, in fact, the purpose of coming to the mountain town was still in the clouds, but he was calm. Seeing that Li Xian did not say anything, he was not in a hurry to ask questions, but silently observed. At this time, when he saw the four generals saluted himself, Zhang Jianzhi did not have a special expression, but He replied politely and said nothing more.
"Don't be surprised. Mr. Zhang doesn't like to talk too much, but once he has something to say, he can only listen. After getting along with Mr. Zhang for a long time, you will know that Mr. Zhang has a cold and warm-hearted nature. That's all, let's go, go and enter the town!"
Li He and others are all Li Xian's direct line. They have heard of Zhang Jianzhi's status in the British royal palace. They wanted to be close to Zhang Jianzhi's trap, but they didn't expect Zhang Jianzhi to be so indifferent. They couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. Seeing this, Li Xian quickly interrupted from the side, which was regarded as solving such an embarrassing situation. As soon as he waved his hand, he went to the town first. As soon as Li He and others saw it, they did not dare to neglect it. They hurriedly followed each other and walked into the town talking and laughing all the way. Crossing the street and under the peak behind the town, they could see a new huge house built along the mountain, with more than 200 warriors. Guarding the main point, he guarded the big house extremely rigorously. At the gate of the courtyard, there were several middle-aged scribes standing. As soon as they saw Li Xian and others coming, they hurriedly came forward.
"See Your Highness, my subordinate Zhuang Yong!"
The middle-aged scribe led byis Zhuang Yong, the helm of Mingdi. The reason why he appeared here is to escort the core secrets of Mingdi to this point, in order to wait for the arrival of Li Xian.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhuang."
Li Xian has always appreciated Zhuang Yong, a loyal subordinate. Without waiting for him to finish his salute, Li Xian walked over quickly and reached out to help him up.
"I dare not. Your Highness's request has been completed. Please come inside!"
Li Xian didn't say much, but there was a lot of sincerity inside. The corners of Zhuang Yong's eyes couldn't help but be slightly moist, but he didn't dare to delay the business. He hurriedly turned sideways and respectfully invited Li Xian into the hospital.
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Lin, Mr. Wang, are you still used to living here?"
Li Xian was not in a hurry to enter the hospital, but smiled and greeted the three middle-aged scribes behind Zhuang Yong.
"Thank you for your love, everything is fine."
The three people behind Zhuang Yong are Liu Zhi, Lin Yuan and Wang Bin. Among them, Liu Zhi is the actual person in charge of this core secret. As for Lin Yuan and Wang Bin, they are their deputy. Each of them has their own expertise. They are all elders, but there are not many meetings with Li Xian. At this time, Li Xian can still remember himself. Three People couldn't help getting a little excited and hurried to return the politeness.
"That's good. If you need it, just open your mouth, but if you are alone, you will not lack your gentlemen."
Li Xian's words were loud, and there was no trace of falsehood - Liu Zhi and others were responsible for Li Xian's core research institute. Here, the talented people and strangers that Li Xian could gather were gathered. The clay pot bombs and fire oil bombs that repeatedly made great achievements in the previous war came from this mysterious core research institute, and Li Xian's reason Dare to let go of the construction of Hexi, the biggest card is also from this core research institute. For the needs of the research institute, Li Xian has never asked about the price. Since the establishment of the research institute seven years ago, Li Xian has invested as many million yuan in this research institute. Although most of the results achieved are still on the shelf, their significance is significant. It is also far-reaching. No matter how much investment is, in Li Xian's opinion, it should be. At this point, Li Xian will never hesitate at all.
"Thank you, Your Highness, there are 30 blacksmiths, 20 carpenters, and iron ore here..."
Lin Yuan is responsible for the military industry and has a straightforward nature. As soon as he heard Li Xian's statement, he couldn't help but raise the request.
"Cough, Deputy Lin, let's talk about this later. Your Highness, please!"
Liu Zhi is the president of the research institute after all. When he saw Lin Yuan's request, he was not over. He was suddenly anxious. He was afraid that Li Xian would see something strange and hurriedly coughed a few times and changed the topic.
"Ah, I'm rude, Your Highness, please!"
Being reminded by Liu Zhi, Lin Yuan suddenly woke up, rubbed his hands uneasily, and retreated to the side with a red face.
"It doesn't matter, Dean Liu, and report the list of what each hospital needs to Gu Zhi, and let someone do it all when you go back, please!"
Li Xian has lived for three generations. How could he not know the habits of these scholars who engage in research? He would not care about Lin Yuan's rudeness. After making a promise with a smile, he waved his hand and led everyone to slowly walk into the door of the research institute...
