Of course, Jiang Tian was not idle either; he used his unobtrusive appearance to visit various parts of the East Palace such as the Prince's Inner Square, the Inner Academy, the Compilation Bureau, the Chongwen Hall, and the Accounting Office; he secretly observed and monitored the corresponding progress, Provide comprehensive guidance on the problems and troubles that arise.
By the way, a number of people who were slacking off in their work or acting suspiciously were also found out. For the former, he only needed to give a slight admonishment, or give him rewards and punishments as usual as incentives; but for the latter, Jiang Tian's suggestion was to treat them coldly and assign them to the emperor. Go to the village and other gardens to deal with some trivial matters.
It can be regarded as a harmless treatment to a certain extent. After a year and a half, it is basically decoupled from the confidential matters. During this period, if the other party can't help but show traces and clues about his whereabouts, then naturally there is nothing to say, and he will be dismissed and demoted in accordance with the rules.
Even let it disappear quietly. But if the other person can always endure loneliness and still work conscientiously in his new position, it means that he is a determined and dedicated person; instead, you can try to entrust him with a big responsibility. Even if there is still some suspicion, it still has the value of being fought for.
After all, talents are rare, and talents who are willing to lurk and devote themselves to a certain goal for a long time are even more rare; they are worthy of a little show of kindness and favor from those in power. Anyone who has the ability will take a longer-term view, and it is not impossible to change their stance.
Compared with the current legitimate and powerful Queen of Heaven party, as the future successor of the world, and as his physical condition improves, he will become more and more present; at least on the surface, there are no irreconcilable contradictions and differences. Not to mention making it easy for people to take sides.
But there are also some determined speculators, or rats who drive without knowing it. At this time, Jiang Tian does not hesitate to take action secretly to make the other party accidentally caught; and then after internal interrogation, the confession will be sent to Jingzhao Mansion. Naturally, someone will make them pay the corresponding price.
But it is usually difficult to find out more follow-up clues, and they only stay on a certain official with a poor family background, or a low-level official; after all, the flesh-and-blood affection between the Tian family has always set an example for the world, how could it be allowed to be destroyed by these What about unwarranted far-fetched assertions, easy swaying and slander?
Therefore, under this faint undercurrent, a small team that indirectly accepted orders from Jiang Tian was quietly established. The members are all new eunuchs selected by the inner academy. They are poor people who were born in poverty or were lonely and were sold into the palace in order to survive.
Therefore, in addition to normal reading and writing/arithmetic, he also learned the superficial common sense of disguise, tracking, concealment and investigation provided by Jiang Tian in Zhuangzi elsewhere; he was instilled with the simple concept of loyalty to the prince, And regularly obtained Jiang Tian's instructions through the small temple in the palace.
The main purpose is to secretly observe and follow a certain person or area in the palace, or to enter the market outside the palace, try to hide the identity, and lurk for a period of time. Although it has not been of much use so far and has even caused some jokes, it does not mean that we cannot count on it in the future.
At least, compared to Jiang Tian, who is like a real cat patrolling the territory, wandering around and observing secretly all day long, the East Palace has twenty or thirty people who report the situation regularly and are temporarily assigned and run errands; let He has extended execution and influence without having to show his face.
In fact, these little eunuchs have no idea that the superiors who have been giving orders secretly are raccoon slaves who can speak human language or others; as long as they regularly burn incense, they go to the Xiaoxianju Temple in the back garden of the East Palace to obtain Corresponding instructions, or comments and judgments on the latest tasks.
Their most important task at the moment is to secretly observe, monitor, and protect the newly established Tuyu Hall under the name of the Chongwen Hall in the East Palace as the Sasou Executive. This is also one of the most confidential places in the East Palace. ; Stores a large number of albums from another time and space.
The people who are lucky enough to be selected into the map office are all selected after thousands of years; they have relatively clean backgrounds or are loyal and reliable people. On the other hand, they also have some drawing or copying skills; therefore, once selected, they have to accept the results of being closed for several months.
During this period, all food, drink, and daily necessities were completed inside, and all necessities were brought in from outside. Their main job was to divide into many different groups to participate in drawing, transcribing, and enlarging a large-scale map that exceeded the level and level of detail of this era.
At least, rather than serving as a foreshadowing and appetizer, the large toy-like globe presented to Imagami as one of the gifts during the Millennium Festival; this large map ripped and pieced together from many atlases not only marked the The geographical direction of most counties, mountains and rivers in the world.
At the same time, for the first time, in the form of a circular sphere, many continents and continents outside of Middle-earth were delineated for the first time, as well as the territory of hundreds of foreign countries. Among them were the known distribution of forces around Middle-earth, or some of them. Through exchanges with Daqin, Dashi, Tianzhu and other places.
In addition to the Asian continent labeled as Dongsheng/Chixian Shenzhou, there are also the never-heard-of Southern Shanzhou (Africa), Beiju Luzhou (South and North America), Nanhai Zhongzhou (Australia and New Zealand), and Xiniu Hezhou. (Europe), Wanli Ice Sea (Arctic Ocean), Jixu (Antarctica)
There are also labels on the routes and currents between these continents and countries along the coast; but more importantly, it also includes the enemies of the plateau that have recently emerged; no one has yet explored the territory of Tubo, and there are 5, 18, and 61 east coasts. The distribution of cities and settlements in Dai, and the geographical direction of mountains and rivers.
As well as the general distribution of forces including the post-Turkic, Uighur, and Khitan ethnic groups on the vast grassland outside the Great Wall/Mongolian Plateau; and the corresponding basic directions of rivers, lakes, and swamps. At least hundreds of years apart in time and space, these places have not changed much compared to the erratic migration of pastoral communities.
Of course, this is undoubtedly a very complex and complicated process. But once there are results, it will be an immeasurable and priceless treasure for the Tang Dynasty, which has not been founded for a long time and still maintains considerable vitality and expansion, both in terms of politics and military, as well as economy and culture.
In other words, the main achievements of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty in the second half of his life, as well as most of the foreign wars during the Wu and Zhou Dynasties, wasted a large amount of national resources in the tug-of-war with the Tubo Dynasty, a small power on the plateau that could not be defeated or destroyed; so much so that he relaxed against military pressure from the north and east.
And it failed to completely suppress the post-Turkic regime where the remaining forces gathered in the city after the collapse of the Western Turks; it also failed to fully domesticate the Khitan, Xi and other ethnic groups in the Northeast to consolidate and digest the results of the destruction of Goguryeo. Instead, it caused the Yingzhou Rebellion. , was eroded step by step by Silla, and Heishui Mohe rose.
It was not until the Tianbao period of Kaiyuan that this strategic disadvantage was completely reversed with the change of hands of Shibao City, the fortress on the Chiling/Riyue Mountain line; by supporting the old tribes of Xiqiang, Dangxiang Qiang and Tuguhun, the battlefield was advanced. The West Sea/Qinghai Lake basin contained Tibetan expansion.
During this period, through the war against Tubo, a large number of Kaiyuan Tianbao generals emerged: not only Wang Zhongsi, the unique Jiedushi of the Four Towns, but also the powerful Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing in Congling and Hezhong, and more "Ge Shuhan carries a knife at night...and dare not cross Lin Tiao" Ge Shuhan.
Then, the well-known historical event - the Anshi Rebellion broke out; the internal pressure that originally broke out due to the setback of expansion and led to the violent deaths of several Zanpu found a new outlet; he took the opportunity to send troops to occupy the empty Hexi Longyou, and for a time the army Coming to Chang'an.
Then, there were decades of tug-of-war in the northwest, until the climate gradually turned colder and plateau disasters occurred frequently; the dividends from external expansion were lost, and the internal multi-ethnic conflicts were unable to be bridged. The hope of unifying differences with the help of Buddhism led to fierce civil war. The Tubo regime collapsed.
But it was already more than a hundred years later. During this period, although the Tang Dynasty used its incomplete body to fight against the separatist rule of vassal towns in the Central Plains outside and the dictatorship of eunuchs to cause chaos inside, it managed to survive the old enemies on the plateau; it also suffered the loss of Hexi Longyou and the complete fall of Beiting in Anxi. The tragic price.
In other words, in this time and space line, there are still a lot of redeemable opportunities; for example, the second Battle of Feichuan was just three years later. In addition to the "Three Plateau Pests" countermeasures that can be prepared in advance, having these map guides will get twice the result with half the effort.
Of course, the launch of this series of maps also requires a suitable reason and a gradual process. For example, if a "loyal person" from outside the country has destroyed his family to retaliate, it is not an exaggeration to take the matter seriously and strictly guard against leaks.
After arranging the scheduled schedule of these young officials, they can also get more leisure at night to visit and explore the differences between Chang'an City in this era and another time and space. For example, the scope of activities was expanded from the homes of princes and princes near the palace to the area between the two cities.
During the day, taste the local delicacies/street snacks from all over the world gathered in the East Market; go to the many orchid wine houses in the West Market to experience the customs of women of all ethnic groups from all over the world and far away countries, and have a good time in broad daylight. The lively buzz of having fun and drinking around the grill.
And in the evening, I shuttled through the Sanqufang Alley in Pingkangli; I watched with a cold eye the various forms of living beings who were feasting and singing every night, and the joys and sorrows of children's love; at the same time, I collected some stray cats I met by chance, and made them a cat. The diversity of varieties in the workshop adds to the...
But as a result, a new urban legend was born in the city, about a magical flying cat that only innocent children or pure little girls could be lucky enough to witness; after encountering it, lucky things would happen; or they would be taken away from them. Rescue from the ongoing disaster.
The temperature dropped sharply, and it was rainy again. My hands and feet were so cold that I lost consciousness. I didn’t even want to write anymore. I didn’t recover until this afternoon.
