Chapter 437
The next day, Li Linfei got up early and went to the court.
When Li Linfei arrived at the entrance of the palace, there was already a large crowd of people waiting, and Cao Cao immediately welcomed him when he saw him.
He knew that it was Li Linfei's first time to attend the morning court and he didn't know much about the ministers, so he introduced them to him one by one, but of course at this moment Cao Cao was still only a councilor and not yet the prime minister, so he was not qualified to lead Li Linfei around.
"You are Li Yun Li Lin Fei, right?" A septuagenarian elder walked past and said with a smile.
This man, whom Cao Cao had introduced to Li Linfei before, was the current Tai Lieutenant Qiao Xuan, and Li Linfei immediately saluted.
"Greetings, Lord Tai Lieutenant."
"I am a close friend of your grandfather, no need to be polite." Qiao Xuan waved his hand and said.
"Yes." Despite saying this Li Linfei still gave a junior salute.
Qiao Xuan gave him an approving look, then said something like if there were any difficulties you could go to him, and left.
"The Lord Tai Lieutenant thinks highly of you." Cao Cao said enviously.
"It's all because of the ancestral shade of both families." Li Linfei replied, the other party was already giving face to his elders by being willing to say such things.
"You, you." Cao Cao laughed indifferently, and then introduced Yuan Shao to Li Linfei. Yuan Shao was still a very good seller, much better than his straw brother, although he also had the arrogance of a great family, but he still treated Li Linfei well, politely, and showed some friendship, I am afraid that he also knew about his conversation with Yuan Shu yesterday.
The empress is now his sister, not Li Linfei's cousin, and the difference in status is too great.
Then came... Li Linfei did not expect the Han Lingdian Emperor to get up so early for the court meeting.
The court meeting was very boring, Liu Hong came to attend the morning court just for the sake of it, he wanted everyone to have nothing to do and retired from the court, it was no different from formalism, he soon retired from the court.
Li Linfei stayed in Luoyang for nearly half a year and was bored to death. He got up early every morning to go to the morning court and returned within a few minutes, without even having the chance to talk.
From time to time, he would send some treasures to Zhang Jean for him to say a few words, but as for He Jin, that butcher, he despised himself and did not want to be with him.
Every day he went to court, followed Cao Cao as a doorkeeper and teased Miao Cicada when he was bored.
Finally, one day, Li Linfei's chance came. At the morning court, Liu Hong was just about to say that he had something to say, but he had nothing to say, when Qiao Xuan, the lieutenant, came forward and said, "Your Majesty, there is a mountain rebellion in Huiji, killing Sun Ning, the local governor, who has escaped into the mountains.
Liu Hong was depressed when he heard this, if other Chinese counties were killed he could still be happy, he could sell his official position again, but Huiji County, although it was also a big county, but unfortunately it was too chaotic, no one wanted to be an official there, so he could not sell it.
The rebellion has been going on for a long time, and the court has not been able to quell it, so they flee when the court sends troops over.
When Li Linfei heard that the Sheriff of Huiji had hung up, and that it was the territory he wanted to use as his base camp in Yangzhou, he immediately thought that his chance had come, and immediately came forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have studied in Huiji and have dealt with the Shan Yue people and would like to go and pacify them."
When Li Linfei said this, everyone was dumbfounded. Even if you wanted to go, you should have told us about it and we would have recommended you, how could you stand up for yourself? This is all the work of a martial general!
Liu Hong did not expect Li Linfei to want to go, he naturally knew that the other party was bored in Luoyang, and had planned to let him serve in the local government some time later! As for the money to buy officials, that is not a matter of concern, Li Linfei sent a lot of things to Zhang Jean, were Zhang Jean's filial piety to Liu Hong, even the three males can buy several!
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you want to do.
"Your Majesty, Li Zhanlang is talented enough to handle this matter." Although Qiao Xuan did not know why Li Linfei wanted to go to Huiji, but since you took the initiative to go, then I would help.
During his time in Luoyang, Li Linfei's reputation for talent had become apparent, and it was even said that of the one stone of talent in the Great Han, Li Linfei had eight to his name, and even Qiao Xuan, Yuan Kui and others had praised him. This despondent scholar's son had made a name for himself, and it had become a matter of time before the Song and Li families rose to prominence.
Chapter 438
And the reason why Yuan Kui helped Li Linfei was because what Li Linfei did was undoubtedly very much in his interest. Now that the Yuan family had become the leader of the northern clans, Li Linfei reviving the two families to avoid himself seemed to him to be very much on his way as he did not want to compete with the Yuan family.
As for whether Li Linfei would be clicked off by the Shan Yue people, that was none of his business.
Qiao Xuan Yuan Kui, the two bigwigs, had come out to help, and the other well-connected ones had also stepped forward to help.
The only person who didn't get along with Li Linfei, He Jin and the others, couldn't wait to see Li Linfei without seeing him.
"Well, do you have confidence in Li Linfei? " Liu Hong hesitated for a moment, the ministers had proposed, he was still worried about Li Linfei's safety.
"I will bow and die." Li Linfei said when he saw that the fire was almost ready.
Liu Hong heard such words for the first time, and was moved by the fact that he was a relative of Laozi's. He hastily issued an imperial decree to make Li Linfei the general of Hengye, the governor of Huiji, and departed on the same day.
The dust had finally settled and Li Linfei had finally completed his first task.
After the end of the court, Meng De hastily pulled Li Lin Fei over to him and said with a concerned face, "I'm afraid this trip will not go smoothly!"
Li Linfei nodded and said, "It is true that the Shan Yue people are difficult to exterminate, as soon as they send troops to surround them, they hide in the mountains, and when the officials leave, they come out again to rebel."
In fact, this way of fighting the war was wielded to its limits by Grandpa Mao, and the advantages could not be better understood by Li Linfei.
"Do you need my brother to help you find some men?" Cao Cao, who was quite good at fighting himself and had even more at home who could fight, could see that Li Linfei had no one on hand, and looking at Li Linfei's appearance his martial arts skills would not be too great.
"No need." Li Linfei shook his head and said, "I'm actually quite capable of fighting.
Cao Cao looked at Li Linfei, he knew that Li Linfei was not that reckless and must have a backhand.
Li Linfei was just about to leave with Cao Cao when he was called by a eunuch, saying that Liu Hong was invited. Some ministers who were about to say something to Li Linfei gave way, jokingly, who dared to stop him when His Majesty was invited?
Li Linfei was not at all surprised that Liu Hong had left him behind, he was afraid he had something else in mind.
Li Linfei was led by the eunuch to Liu Hong's study, and at the moment he was very serious, even looking at a map.
"I am seeing Your Majesty." Li Linfei bowed to him. ,
"Flatten yourself, you have been to Shan Yue before?" Liu Hong didn't look back at him just merely gazed at the map, on the location of Shan Yue.
God had been there before, but he said, "Yes," and Li Linfei nodded, having confirmed that Liu Hong had no memory of the time he had "disappeared".
"How many troops do you think it would take to attack the lower mountain?" Liu Hong asked.
"Does Your Majesty want a temporary solution or a complete solution?" Li Linfei asked.
"What solution?" Liu Hong asked.
"A temporary solution would be to beat them back, beat them to the point where their vitality is greatly injured, and then settle down for a few decades is not a problem." Li Linfei said.
"And what if we want a complete solution?" Liu Hong asked.
"If we want to completely solve the Shan Yue problem I am afraid it will take more than 100,000 troops to spend several years, the consumption of which I am afraid ....."
Li Linfei did not say further, Liu Hong also understood, although he was a faint ruler, but not a fool, he immediately wilted, although he was a faint ruler, and rarely cared about matters in the court, but he also knew that the consumption of leading an army to war was great, the consumption of more than 100,000 troops for several years, I am afraid that he sold all the official positions in the whole world is not enough.
Seeing Liu Hong's depressed look, Li Linfei said, "It is indeed difficult to defeat Shan Yue, but it is not impossible to keep him from rebellion, when the time comes, if there is anything you need, just exchange with them directly."
Liu Hong's eyes lit up at his words, exchange, that is, mutual market, although also cost money, but certainly less than the consumption of attacking the mountain Yue, as for the idea of once and for all.
Sorry, he didn't have one, but the way to go is to have fun in time, so he was immediately pleased: "Is the tax from Huiji enough?"
"There should be enough! " Li Linfei was delighted at his words, this was too good to be true, wasn't it? The mutual market is still not under his control again, and then he himself is recruiting troops, and if he buys horses, what horses are not in the system.
"Well, this matter will be left in your charge." Liu Hong said.
"I will live up to your Majesty's trust." Li Linfei said hastily, jokingly, no matter what, it is earned by himself.
"Well, that's good." Liu Hong nodded in satisfaction, for Li Linfei he was still very relieved, this is the one he saw growing up, rest assured!
"How about allocating a cadre of feathered forest troops with you this time?" Liu Hong thought about the fact that Li Linfei was a commander with no soldiers and no generals, and that it would be bad if he was in danger.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Linfei immediately showed his gratitude, although most of these 1,000 men were loyal to Liu Hong, as long as he used them well, it would not be a problem.
