Qingtang, the military supervisor's mansion.

It is said that the military supervisor's mansion is a bit over, but this place was transformed into a pigeon house by Tong Guan. Hundreds of pigeons were raised.

The flying pigeons are not as reliable as sending letters to the fast horses. The main reason is that the pigeons are too weak and do not have any self-protection ability on the road. But the knights are different, and the robbers will not foolishly rob the fast horses. On the one hand, there is no oil or water; in addition, if there is a major military situation and the military plane is delayed, the robbers will wait for the attack to be executed.

There were many famous bandits in the Song Dynasty. On the one hand, it was the indulgence of the court. On the other hand, it was probably a helpless move.

The people are unable to bear taxes and labor service, so they can only go to the mountains to farm. This is already miserable. If they don’t even allow this, they will probably have to go one way to rebel.

Officials of the Song Dynasty also knew that bandits and bandits could not be banned. Moreover, bandits and bandits in the Song Dynasty did not only do robbery business, they would also farm and even do business. Anyway, it was a very strange social situation. Basically, there were more than 280 states and more than 1,100 counties in the Song Dynasty. I dare not say that there were bandits and bandits in every place, right? But one-third of the places were still in trouble. But this does not mean that the Song Dynasty really had no way to deal with bandits.

If you really anger the court, bandits and bandits will only be dead.

Therefore, bandits and bandits do not do two transactions, and local escort taxes and escort grain and grass to Beijing, and in addition, they do not do business of intercepting fast horses to convey messages.

In contrast, it is much more sinister to fly out.

Half-old children who are less than the height of the waist of an adult are shot with a slingshot, hunters and hunters traps, birds of prey in the sky, anyway, once flying pigeons out of the pigeon loft, they are in danger. Flying pigeons often fail to convey the news because of changes in the road.

But since the Flying Ge has been used to convey military information in the fifth generation, it has been praised. The main reason is fast.

Pigeons can fly at least 1,500 miles a day, which is more than 700 to 800 kilometers. The fast horse cannot keep up with this speed no matter what. The pigeons also walk in a straight line, and the fast horses must run from the road. If it is a border, for example, if there is a military situation, it will probably take three days for a fast horse to arrive in the capital, but the pigeons only need one day.

This is also the reason why the Song Dynasty attached more and more importance to Feige.

When it comes to conveying the news, most of the military are the Office and Imperial City Department of the Privy Council? The latter's heavy responsibilities can only fall on the eunuchs who work in various places.

Is Tong Guan a person who does big things? But what makes him angry is that he has been doing small things that have nothing to do with big things for most of his life? For example, now he is raising pigeons.

Tong Guan was feeding rice? He was cooing at the pigeons, as if he could communicate with them in this way. But he couldn't help but feel sad? When will such an unrewarded day be the end?

Suddenly? The door of the pigeon fence was opened? Li Kui raised his leg and broke in. The shocked Tong Guan shouted repeatedly: "Be careful, these ancestors are so precious."

"Tong Guan, give me two pigeons!"

Tong Guan, like an old hen protecting a cub, opened his arms and said panic: "Pigeons cannot be eaten."

Of course, Li Kui was not here to give a tooth sacrifice? But to convey the message: "I want to do something big."

"Bah? You eat and sleep every day. You are the number one idle person in Qingtang. How dare you say you do big things?" After following Li Kui for half a year, he finally figured out Li Kui's road and joked casually on weekdays. Li Kui would not be angry. Even if he really put in his efforts, no one could come to make things difficult for him.

Li Kui didn't care? He threw the secrets of the newly written explanation of the role and responsibilities of the chieftain to the emperor and said casually: "Forget it? You send it to me."

"What's the matter?" Tong Guan saw the secret letter and said in surprise: "Are you crazy? Scolding Zhang Xiang? You really got so brave that Xiong Xin Bao was so brave? He is a master who listens to advice? He won't have enemies all over the world."

"I said he didn't do serious business, not scold him. Besides, Qingtang's affairs must be over soon. Am I still waiting to go back to the capital for the New Year?"

"You actually want to go back to the capital to celebrate the New Year?"

Tong Guan was jealous and said angrily: "Why? You don't see what you do. We work hard but we can't get the reward from His Majesty."

"Those who work hard to control others, those who work hard to control others, you belong to the latter! By the way, why did you slander me for eating your pigeon?"

"We see pigeon fur on your back door."

"How dare you go through my garbage?"

"I dare not, I don't want to see it. Do you eat or not? There are about ten fewer pigeons in my pigeon loft."

"A bastard, will I eat your pigeons with greed? Also, don't be caught by me when you are trashed. If I see it, you will be more beautiful."

After threatening Tong Guan, Li Kui shook his head and left the pigeon loft. Tong Guan liked to be with this broken place, but Li Kui couldn't stand this smell.

A day later, the pigeon cabin of the Imperial City received the news.

After seeing Li Kui's secret letter, the emperor sat on the dragon throne and became furious. After a long time, he asked Hao Sui: "Hao Sui, do you think the reform is still necessary now?"

Seeing the northwest pacification and the power of the Song Dynasty was booming. After the military expenditure of the Western Army was greatly reduced, the reform seemed to be useless. The reform was essentially making money. The court wanted to increase taxes and change the financial income of the Song Dynasty. However, after not short of money, it seemed that the reform was useless.

Moreover, the reformists and conservatives quarreled in his ears every day, and even if the emperor was well educated, he would be upset.

Hao Sui didn't dare to deal with this. He lowered his head and said respectfully: "The official family, the old slave doesn't know much about the affairs in the court, so he dare not say it."

"Yes, I dare not say it!"

The emperor's eyes were bright, as if he had a clarity. After An Tao returned to the capital, he was almost beaten by Zhang Dun, which led to An Tao simply thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors and leaving nothing to care about the big things.

And what about Zhang Dun?

In order to attack An Tao, all the requirements of officials such as An Tao and Li Kui were completely denied. However, the chieftain was given the official position. Is it still a chieftain who cannot be hereditary?

"You go and hand over this secret to Zhang Xiang and let him do it."

The emperor seemed to trust Zhang Dun and handed over Li Kui's secret to Zhang Dun. However, Hao Sui, who had been following the emperor for more than ten years, understood that the emperor was beginning to be dissatisfied with Zhang Dun.

You can be domineering, but you can't abandon the government and ignore anything.

Zhang Dun happened to hold a banquet at home. After reading the secret written by Li Kui to the emperor, his face looked very bad. The banquet could not continue, leaving only a few real power factions of the reformists.

Yang Wei, the Hanlin Academy’s order, was one of them.

After reading the content of the secret letter, Zhang Dun felt a clear mind. An Tao made a move. On the surface, An Tao gave in, but in fact he retreated to advance.

Then Li Kui came forward to complain to the emperor, and he, as the prime minister, became a problem. At least it was a mistake of being inattentive.

"Zi'an, didn't you see that?"

Yang Wei is a smart person, and Zhang Dun has a deep understanding of this. Especially Yang Wei, who plans and then acts and only does the right thing, rarely makes mistakes in his career. This is what makes people feel extraordinary.

Yang Weiwei said: "Prince, I thought you saw it!"

Zhang Dun was silent. When he was quarreled, he was happy and went up, just to pursue the victory, and then his IQ decreased. Dushitang could still suppress the other side after the Privy Council recovered the Hehuang land. Zhang Dun didn't think about this temple victory at all. He really thought that Li Kui and An Tao were selfish in order to win over the natives of Qingtang and wanted to split the land and be named a marquis.

But looking at the secret letter Li Kui gave to the emperor, this is not the case at all.

This is obviously because he has no plans.

Moreover, the emperor sent Hao Suijiang's secret letter, obviously trying to ask Zhang Dun, is your dignified imperial prime minister focusing on government affairs or private fights?

The great situation failed, which made Zhang Dun feel angry.

Finally, he held back and did not get angry. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Before the court will discuss matters tomorrow, we will first formulate a charter in the Dushi Hall, so that Li Qingchen will have the opportunity to fight back."

"Prince, we will take our leave."

After Zhang Dun nodded, the appointment of the chieftain finally took formal procedures. The Shaofu created the chieftain waist card and chieftain seals, which used high-quality silver as materials. The Song Dynasty had regulations on the use of seals and other tokens for officials. Although silver was not the highest level, it was not low. Anyway, fifth-rank officials would definitely not be able to use it. The chieftain did not need to pay salaries, but simply gave the third-rank military officer the official body.

Herald identity was also confirmed.

In addition, the golden book of the monks in the temple was also completed.

A few days later, these metal tokens made in a hurry were sent to Qingtang with a quick horse.

Although things were full of twists and turns, everyone was still happy.

After the token was delivered to Qingtang, the chieftains not only received recognition from the Song Dynasty court, but also had the guarantee of hereditary status. They were also promoted from a fifth-rank official to a third-rank official.

The Song Dynasty was rich and powerful, and the chieftains did not need to pay their salary, so they gave them more purple official robes of the third rank.

For a time, the powerful and powerful Qingtang regarded purple as the most important thing.

This is also the day when Li Kui is leaving.

When he left the city, Li Kui avoided everyone and left the city as usual. However, after leaving Qingtang for more than ten miles, he found that after climbing over a hill, there was a camp of thousands of people.

"See Mr. Li."

It is already weird enough for a third-rank official to give a gift to a fourth-rank official. Especially Sharonhei wanted to kneel on the ground and kiss Li Kui's shoes, but was kicked over by Li Kui and scolded him angrily: "Are you going to harm me? How can you kneel down to a fourth-rank official?"

"We can't bear to part with the Lord!"

As Sharonhei spoke, tears were almost falling. He recovered from the ache of heartbreak and heard the news that Li Kui was leaving Qingtang. Half a year ago, he was just a slave to herd cattle for Sharon's family. In just a few months, he became one of the most powerful people in Qingtang City. Among the top ten chieftains, he was a middle-class person.

If Sharonhei had to thank all this, it was Li Kui. If Li Kui had not accepted his adopted son, he would have wished to be his son for Li Kui. For former slaves, self-esteem had never been...

It can be said that Li Kui changed his life and his descendants.

It is not an exaggeration to recreate kindness.

Feast, bonfire, singing and dancing.

The enthusiasm of the grassland people was completely released at this moment. Li Kui drank it toasted and refused everyone, and unknowingly, he drank high.

The next day, I wanted to leave, but I was stopped by enthusiastic hymns and barley wine, but I didn't leave.

For three days, even Suo Feng looked at Li Kui with jealousy. As an official, it would be worth it for Li Kui to be loved by the people like this.

What's even more terrible is that Li Kui brought his army to conquer this grassland, not a good man!

Saying farewell for thousands of miles will eventually leave.

Li Kui finally set foot on the official road to the capital. Here, carp turned into dragons, and the world knew...
Chapter completed!
