MTL - My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty-Chapter 408 Four years!
The Tubo incident happened, and Li Yin suddenly felt that the official atmosphere in Chang'an had changed. He could feel that these ministers were becoming more and more respectful to him, and they no longer liked to find a reason to fight against him as before. When opposing domestic forces, he would always beat some nearby countries to increase his prestige in the country. This time Li Yin personally issued an order to subdue Tubo, and the battle with almost no casualties really shocked many ministers, because this time Basically all the military generals in Chang'an accompanied them to visit, and the change in their attitudes after they came back also indirectly affected the attitudes of these civil officials.
Time flies, and four years have passed in a blink of an eye. During the four years, Li Yin's position in the Tang Empire has been gradually consolidated. From the officials to the common people, everyone knows that Li Yin is now the actual emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The only difference is that the title of emperor is still missing. These four years are not long, but they are also not short. The Yizhou model has gradually been implemented in Chang'an. Chang'an officials are familiar with the new administrative method, and the people have also realized the benefits. The rich life of the people in the state has brought Li Yin's prestige among the people to a new level.
On this day, Li Yin suddenly felt a little depressed. It felt good to hold a lot of power, but he was too tired from the busy government affairs. When he got up in the morning, he simply turned down all the government affairs and wandered around Chang'an City with his guards. , after the engineering team intervened in Chang'an, the changes in Chang'an can be described as changing with each passing day. In four years, various magnificent buildings stood upright, and the former prosperity seemed to return to this ancient capital.
Stepping on the clean asphalt road, Li Yan looked at the cars passing by. Some of these cars were produced in Yizhou factories, and some were sold here from the trade zone. In addition to cars, the shops along the street sold all kinds of goods that can only be bought in modern times. , This is the change that two-way trade has brought to Datang.
Shaking his head and smiling, Li Yin recalled that when he first came to Chang'an, it seemed like a world away. At that time, he was just an unpleasant prince. According to the records in the history books, he should have died of illness in Bashu at this time, but it was really more than ten years ago. In the past, he has become the person who holds the highest power in this country. The world has changed. It can be said that it has been 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.
However, the past four years have not been easy for him. When he really took over the entire government affairs of the Tang Dynasty, he felt the pressure on him. What made him most uncomfortable was watching the changes of those veteran ministers who had been with him for more than ten years after he entered Chang'an. In the past four years, he had watched the struggle among ministers with cold eyes, just as he predicted, Today's imperial court has really become a battlefield where the Yizhou faction headed by Shang Guanyi and the Chang'an faction headed by Changsun Wuji are fighting each other. Although this is the result he wants, but facing these ministers attacking each other every day, he is really It's annoying.
And this is second, what bothers him the most is the subtle change in the relationship between the three women behind him. The cause of this change is that Su Morer and Liu Yanyu each added a boy for Li Yin. Although the three of them are still like sisters on the surface Ordinary, but he felt that they sometimes deliberately flattered them, which was easy for him who has watched countless palace fights in later generations, and at this moment he suddenly understood one thing, he was in control of everything , but can't control people's hearts.
"Your Highness, we have arrived at Qujiang Pond." Rong Da accompanied Li Yin out today, seeing that Li Yin was in a bad mood, he dared not speak. Four years is enough time for Rong Da to become a qualified servant of the Yellow Gate. Rong Da did it.
"Oh, is that so?" Li Min raised his eyes and looked at the renovated Qujiang Pond. As a scene in Chang'an, many scenic spots and buildings were newly built along the Qujiang Pond, and the goldfish wandering in the Qujiang Pond also showed that the four Nian Chang'an has been moving closer to Yizhou.
Rong Da said respectfully: "Your Highness, I have been busy with government affairs these years and have rarely had the opportunity to come out to play. This Qujiang Pond is much more interesting than before. Every night, there are colorful lights everywhere here, and Yizhou's special snacks are everywhere. Here But Chang'an is the busiest place at night."
Li Yan glanced at the peddlers, and then at the treadmills in the lake. If they weren't wearing Tang Dynasty costumes, he would have thought this was modern times?
"It's time to go out for a walk." Li Yin read, and then said to Rongda: "Shangguanyi went to Yizhou and hasn't come back yet?"
"Your Highness, you haven't come back yet? You said you were caught up in something important."
Li Yan let out an "oh", and suddenly walked towards a hotel in Qujiangchi...
In the Weijia Restaurant in Yizhou, Shangguanyi was having dinner with Guan Sixing and other Yizhou officials. Yizhou has not declined because of the rise of Chang'an and other emerging cities in the Tang Dynasty in recent years, but has become more and more prosperous because of its status as an economic pioneer. , attracting businessmen from all over the world.
"Mr. Shangguange, I offer you a toast. If you didn't have your suggestions in the Political Affairs University back then, and then you often spoke well in front of His Highness, I wouldn't be in charge of Sixing today." After several glasses of wine, Guan Sixing sat down. Holding the wine glass, he stood up and said to Shangguan.
After waving his hands, Shangguanyi asked Guan Sixing to sit down and said, "Sixing, this is all your own ability, and it is also our Highness who has the insight to recognize talents, so that those of us who have no ambitions can have today's glory and wealth, you You should be grateful to Your Highness."
Guan Sixing said: "It's natural, I will never forget His Highness's kindness to me."
Shangguanyi glanced at the drunken Guan Sixing, and suddenly sighed heavily, "That's good."
"Shangguan Pavilion old man why suddenly sighed." Guan Sixing asked doubtfully.
"Hey!" Shangguanyi sighed heavily again, and said, "I really envy you. You are carefree in Yizhou. It's not like I have to remind you to live in fear every day in Chang'an."
Guan Sixing became more and more puzzled, "Shangguange's old man is now an extremely human minister, and in the court, he can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand people. Why do you say that?"
"You only see my superficial beauty. I have a hard time in the court. I have to remind myself every day that I am afraid of being read behind my back, especially that eldest grandson Wuji is always against me." Shangguan Yidao.
Although Guan Sixing is in Yizhou, he also knows that the government is now divided into two factions, including Yizhou's accounts. Chang'an sends officials to audit every year. Yizhou also audits the accounts of other prefectures and counties. This is called cross-audit. Last year, because of this incident, three officials in Yizhou were demoted. current affairs, and don't look at who is ruling the world now."
"If you want me to say, these people are just relying on the emperor's pretentiousness. If His Highness ascends the throne, how dare they be so arrogant." An official who followed Shangguanyi to Yizhou said suddenly.
The other officials showed contemplative expressions when they heard the words, and no one dared to speak. The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became a little dignified. Now Li Shimin is also the emperor, so what this official said was outrageous.
"Hahaha... Don't be nervous, Wang Shilang just said angry words and has no other intentions." Shangguanyi broke the silent atmosphere, and everyone showed relaxed expressions, pushing the glass again.
Guan Sixing has been thinking about it since Wang Shilang said his words. He hesitated and said to Shangguanyi: "To tell you the truth, Shangguange said that I am acquainted with Daoist Li Chunfeng of Qingcheng Mountain, and I drank tea with him a few days ago. I also know that besides being in Yizhou, the emperor is practicing in Mount Qingcheng, he told me that day that the emperor had the idea of Zen and devoted himself to studying Taoism, but he still seemed a little hesitant."
Hearing this, Shangguanyi's pupils suddenly dilated, but the expression on his face did not change at all. He calculated that he had been with Li Yin for fourteen years. He was twenty-six that year, and now he is in his early forties. The frustration in the past made him understand more and more that he must seize power today, and at the pinnacle of power, there is another enemy is the Chang'an faction headed by Changsun Wuji. As long as they get rid of them, he is really one person under ten thousand Above, and the fastest way to defeat these people is to make them lose Li Shimin's backer. Now Guan Sixing's words made him suddenly see hope. Since Li Shimin has this idea, he only needs someone to persuade him a little, maybe That's it. r1152
