back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 697 Dali Comes to Play
It's no wonder that Xu Jingchun was suspicious, after all, the supervisory department was not his only voice, and Le Quan also had power.But if he is not loyal to the emperor, Xu Jingchun can report to Lu Chengqi.Once the evidence is conclusive, what awaits Le Quan will be a more brutal punishment.In the Supervision Department, there are too many secrets of Dashun. It can be said that almost all the secrets of Dashun are in the Supervision Department.Even the secrets of Liao, Korea, Annan and other countries are in the Supervision Department.

Once something happens to the Supervision Department, it is a big deal, no small matter.Why is it said that the Supervision Department is a double-edged sword?It is from here.The treatment of supervisors is comparable to that of eighth-rank officials, just to win over people's hearts.

However, Xu Jingchun was just skeptical and had no real evidence.Maybe it was the governor of Dongping Prefecture who calmed down the people himself, so the Supervision Department of Shandong East Road did not receive the news.It's just that this statement is too far-fetched, even Xu Jingchun himself doesn't believe it. "what is going on?"

With a thought, Xu Jingchun wrote a warrant and sent his confidants to Dongping Mansion with carrier pigeons.

On the Chui Gong Hall, Gao Hao walked in, Lu Chengqi didn't lift his head, and said, "Does Xu Jingchun know?"

Gao Hao said respectfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the oral order has been informed to Director Xu."

"Okay, I understand, you go down."

"According to the order!"

After Gao Gao left, an intriguing smile appeared on Lu Chengqi's face, and he murmured, "Someone can hide it from the Supervision Department? It seems that the Supervision Department has begun to hide evil and evil people! Maybe it's my wife. How merciful, have they healed their scars and forgotten the pain after not wielding a butcher knife for so long?"

There is no evidence that someone bribed the supervisory department, but Lu Chengqi's intuition is like this.His oral order was to let Xu Jingchun thoroughly investigate the Supervision Department to find out the inner ghost.There is no reason, because he believes that an eye that serves him is blinded by others, which is something that no emperor can bear.It can be said that someone stepped on his bottom line this time, otherwise, he wouldn't be so angry.

"a?"

Just when Lu Chengqi was thinking about it, Gao Hao hurried in again: "His Majesty, the cabinet minister Wei Xu is surprised to see you."

During this period of time, Xu Chongguang ignored the affairs of the cabinet, and all of them fell on the remaining eleven cabinet ministers.And the minister who is responsible for submitting papers and preparing memorials every day is Wei Xujing.Lu Chengqi was taken aback: "Today's memorial has already been delivered, why are there more?"

Gao Hao shook his head blankly: "I don't know, but judging by Wei Gechen's appearance, I'm afraid there is something urgent."

Lu Chengqi weighed things up and said, "Accept him an audience!"

After Gao Gao went out, Wei Xu hurried over after a while, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Duan Silian, King of Dali, together with Lu Chenhuan, the commander of the forbidden army, are here to play!"

"Oh?" Lu Chengqi was a little surprised, he was wondering, after entering the Dali Mansion, Fatty Lu seemed to have evaporated, and there was no news of him.Now the memorial finally came, and he didn't worry about it, so he said, "Let's present it."

Wei Xujing was not tall, so he needed to step on his feet to pass the memorial to Lu Chengqi.Lu Chengqi unfolded the memorial and took a look at it, and then slowly put it down. "Wei Qing has seen it all?"

Wei Xu was shocked and didn't dare to hide it: "Report to Your Majesty, the ministers and others have seen it."

"Then why not draft it?"

Facing the little emperor's faint "accusation", Wei Xujing argued with reason: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, and the cabinet cannot influence His Majesty's decision."

Lu Chengqi laughed loudly and said, "It's just to appease Wu Man and Bai Man, so why is this matter so important?"

Wei Xu was startled and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the subject is from the Dali Mansion."

This sentence is enough to make Lu Chengqi take it seriously.Dashun is so big, and the customs and customs of different places are different, even the dialects are different.Fortunately, in Chang'an, it is not the ancient Chang'an tone, but the Qin opera that is close to the later generations, so it is easier to learn.And this "Qin opera" is also the official dialect nowadays.From this point of view, it makes sense for Wei Xu to be cautious.

Lu Chengqi recalled Wei Xujing's resume and knew that he was indeed from Dali Mansion or Shanchan Mansion.This Shanchan Mansion should be the Kunming of later generations, the real four seasons are like spring.Since Wei Xujing attaches so much importance to it, he will not be aimless, there must be his reasons. "Miss Wei, please speak clearly."

Wei Xu said in a startled voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister is from Wuman. Fortunately, the imperial court did not have a family opinion, so he was able to enter the high school. The grievances between Wuman and Baiman have a long history. It is nothing more than a dispute over territory and interests. Prince Duan It’s not easy to bridge the two families? General Lu took advantage of the situation, although it’s a trick, it’s not the solution.”

Lu Chengqi pondered for a while, then said: "I heard that the bandits in the Yunnan region were Wuman and Baiman private soldiers fighting with each other, with serious casualties. If you want to fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside. I intend to conquer the desert in the north, so I have nothing to worry about. Wuman The fighting between the barbarian and the white man is not a blessing of Dashun, nor is it a blessing of Dali. Why didn't Wei Qing report it as soon as possible, and I don't have to wait until then to deal with it?"

Wei Xu smiled wryly in surprise: "Among the Wuman, hating Baiman is like killing a father and an enemy. How can such resentment be resolved?"

Lu Chengqi didn't believe it: "Wei Qing said just now that it is nothing more than a dispute over territory and interests. If the territory is equal and the interests are equally divided, how can it not be settled?"

Wei Xujing immediately told the history of Wuman and Baiman, and then talked about the most famous business road in the area, the tea-horse road, which leads directly to the Tupan tribes.Although the tribes of Tupan also surrendered to Dashun, they have always governed themselves. The cultural spread of the Central Plains is very weak, and most of them believe in Buddhism.Because Turpan is an alpine region with an altitude of more than 4000 meters, tsampa, milk, ghee, beef and mutton are the staple foods of the people in Turpan.In the alpine region, you need to eat fat with high calorie content, but there are no vegetables, and tsampa is hot and dry. Excessive fat is not easy to decompose in the human body, but tea can not only decompose fat, but also prevent dryness and heat. In daily life, he created the plateau living habit of drinking butter tea, but Turpan does not produce tea.In the hinterland, a large number of mules and horses were needed for civilian services and military campaigns, but the supply was in short supply, while Tupan, Sichuan, and the border areas of Yunnan produced fine horses.As a result, the complementary tea and horse trade, namely the "tea-horse market" came into being.In this way, mules, horses, furs, medicinal materials, etc. produced in Tupan, Sichuan, and Yunnan, as well as tea, cloth, salt, and daily utensils, etc. produced in Sichuan, Yunnan, and the interior, traveled from south to north in the high mountains and deep valleys of the Hengduan Mountains. The flow is endless.Without this tea-horse trail, I'm afraid Tupan would have gone out of Dashun long ago.

It can be said that Tupan surrendered to Dashun because of his interests; Wuman and Baiman in Dali's mansion also fought because of the interests of the tea-horse trail.All the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit, and the prosperity of the world is for profit. How easy is it to reconcile it?
