Tang Dynasty Never Night

The fact that Di Renjie and Zhang Renyuan were going to leave caught Li Xian a little off guard, and it seemed...not unexpected?To be honest, there are not many people in Shendu who can make Li Xian look good. Zhang Ren is willing to count as one, Di Renjie is counted as one, and there are several others. Li Xian once told Zheng Qi that when the courts on both sides dismantled After the group reorganization, he wanted to give Di Renjie the position of prime minister.

Of course, Lou Shide also knew about this matter. Li Xian was worried that Lou Shide would be unhappy at the time. It was burned, and Li Xian felt bad when he thought of trying to suppress the right to divide the prime ministers in the future.

Especially now that Zheng Qi is also the prime minister, his division of power is equivalent to dividing the power in Zheng Qi's hands, and the reason is just to elect the imperial power, but now the imperial power seems to be in his own hands, that is to say... quite So he wants to compete with Zheng Qi for power?

I made a big move!Li Xian's whole body is not well.

But now he doesn't want to think about this issue, he wants to persuade Di Renjie and Zhang Renyuan more. He actually knows the reason why these two people resigned.

Zhang Renyuan fought against Li Xian, but Li Xian made him miserable, and Li Xian didn't know this person very well, so he found Di Renjie first.

When Di Renjie saw Li Xian, he knelt down and said what the common people said: "See Your Highness."

Li Xian quickly helped Di Renjie up and said: "Dion should understand why I came here, and I won't say much else. Now that the Tang Dynasty is full of waste, it is time for talents like Dion to contribute. Now he has let go, but why do you feel dissatisfied with the court?"

Di Renjie looked at Li Xian calmly, and after hearing this, he said in a gentle voice: "Because all the waste is waiting to be done, people who are immoral such as me should not be allowed to occupy the court. Back then, Emperor Gaozong's kindness to me was as great as a mountain, but I It is almost impossible to protect his children and grandchildren, I am ashamed of Gao Zong, please allow me to repent for Gao Zong's mausoleum."

Li Xian didn't want to argue about who was right and who was wrong, it was an unsolvable proposition!It is true that Wu Zhao's surname is Wu, but in the eyes of the people nowadays, she is a member of the Li family if she married into the Li family. It has been a consensus since ancient times that one would rather let one's own woman be in charge than let the power fall into the hands of outsiders.

Who knew there was a female emperor?Li Xian simply avoided talking about it and said: "I understand Dion's intentions. If it wasn't for Dion's mediation back then, I'm afraid I would not be safe in Chang'an. I can rely on Dion to be here today, not to mention that I always I think those who miss it can understand better what can be done and what can’t be done. I can’t use many people who were against the cycle in the past. After this split, the old people withered, and I don’t have the ability to turn the tide. If Dion wants to Resignation, if he faced the same disaster in Tang Dynasty in the future, wouldn't Dion feel even more guilty?"

"Repeat the same mistakes?" Di Renjie looked at Li Xian firmly.

Li Xian sighed: "Nowadays, people in the world only know that there is a regent but not a saint. It's not a good thing."

A smile appeared on Di Renjie's face: "Since Your Highness understands this truth, he will not let Datang fall into war again."

"But I always have to employ people, and the people around me are not necessarily guaranteed to be as sober as I am, right? What if they do something?"

Di Renjie was thoughtful: "Your Highness means..."

Li Xian said directly: "I need someone to divide my authority, not to mention that there are only two prime ministers in today's world, doesn't Dion think it's too few? But now it's extremely difficult for me to choose a qualified prime minister." , I don’t want to give up, if Dion really feels guilty towards Father, how about helping me? Or does Dion care more about what the world says?”

When Di Renjie heard this, he understood Li Xian's meaning. The regent meant that no one family should be allowed to dominate until the sage was able to govern himself. He couldn't do it, and neither could the prime minister.

Li Xian said that this is the point, it seems that it is not good for Di Renjie to refuse, but Li Xian did not ask him for an answer at that time, he came to visit the thatched cottage very considerately, Di Renjie was right, after all, he was loyal to the Tang Dynasty , and switched to Wu Zhao, and if he is activated now, all kinds of rumors will inevitably spread. Li Xian can't put an end to this kind of thing, but he must try his best to minimize this kind of public opinion.

At the same time, he also sent people to create public opinion and exaggerate Di Renjie's various wise images-Di Renjie's evaluation among the people is not bad, after all, it is still rare to find a fair and honest official, and Di Renjie's reputation is not considered among scholars. Very bad, he himself is very upright, except for the fact that he once served the puppet court, there is no major stain.

Di Renjie naturally understood Li Xian's good intentions, but he himself looked away, and just said to Li Xian: "Your Highness, don't pay attention to these trivial matters. Since Di has made such a choice, can't he think of any consequences? "

Li Xian couldn't help admiring Di Renjie's way of not caring at all. He didn't have much contact with Di Renjie, but it was only today that he deeply realized that Di Renjie's heart is very strong, unlike his gentle appearance.

Since Di Renjie didn't care about it anymore, Li Xian didn't bother, and asked instead: "Does Xiang Di know what Zhang Ren wants for this person?"

Knowing Li Xian's intentions, Di Renjie immediately said, "General Zhang is a real person."

To be honest, Li Xian was thinking about this evaluation, that is to say, Zhang Renyuan is different from Di Renjie, he is the queen's man through and through?Li Xian thought for a while and sent someone to contact Zhang Renyuan. The person he sent was Li Xian. Li Xian felt that Zhang Renyuan probably didn't want to see him or Zheng Qi.

I don't know what Li Xian said to Zhang Renyuan. He really came back obediently, and Li Xian... Li Xian also communicated with Wu Zhao. Although Wu Zhao is now the empress dowager, he doesn't care about anything Even Li Xian couldn't put her under house arrest. It's just that she lost all authority, and she didn't have anyone in the court. All she could do was to point out Li Chongyi once in a while.

Li Xian was happy to let Li Chongyi get in touch with Wu Zhao, among other things, Wu Zhao's wisdom is unconvincing, and she has her own way of looking at problems, Li Chongyi has been with Li Xian and Zheng Qi for a long time, and they both talk and do things. Shadow, but Li Xian wanted him to see the problem more comprehensively.

After all, neither he nor Zheng Qi had led this country from the standpoint of a king. This is why Li Xian never wanted to be an emperor.

The impact of Wu Zhao's abdication as the Empress Dowager is huge. First of all, she made a fool of Lingnan. King Liuzhao originally wanted to take advantage of this time to strengthen his own strength. Otherwise, why did they ask for help before? Li Xian?Don't you want to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters?

As a result, the fish got messed up before touching it, and in the end, they still had to bow their heads to the Tang Dynasty—it would be impossible if they didn’t bow their heads. If the two of them went through a fierce fight and finally someone won, then they would naturally take the opportunity to leave Datang , although it seems that their self-government Datang also gave them a very tolerant policy, there is no big problem, but who is willing to be someone else's subordinate?

Now that the two families have been integrated, although it seems to be a waste of everything, it has correspondingly cut off a lot of "tails" that were not easy to deal with before.

Fortunately, Li Xian also knew what Liuzhao was thinking. On the surface, in order to express his gratitude to them, he gave them a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, which was considered to appease Liuzhao King.

Then there is the Turkic people, the Turkic people... it is really the kind of wild fire that burns endlessly and the spring breeze blows again. Their number is actually no less than that of the Han people, but because there are too many tribes, there are often wars between tribes, and they There is no one who can dominate the world like Zulong, so it is very scattered.

Turkic was ready to make a move before, but Dashi was one step ahead of them, and after Li Xian quickly suppressed Dashi with thunderous means, Turkic continued to wait and see. Li Xianming knew that Turkic had a different heart, but still I have to be patient and make false claims with them, mainly to win over and appease them.

However, when East Turkic Abogan Khan Ashina Huan came to propose marriage, Li Xian was still silent.

Ashina Huan is the younger brother of Ashina Gudulu. After Ashina Gudulu rebelled against Tang and was defeated, although Datang was the winner, he could not directly accept these Turkic people. Another Khan can be established, and this Khan is Ashina Ring.

Marrying has always been a way to appease foreigners throughout the ages. Li Xian always felt a little bit unbearable to let his own girl leave home to marry a Turkic Khan, and this Khan was not young.The most important thing is that almost all of the Li family's clan is dead. If you want to choose from the Li family, the only one who can marry is a girl from Li Dan's family.

Li Xian was naturally unwilling, and Zheng Qi was very calm after hearing this: "It doesn't matter, the big deal is to choose a daughter of a good man, Princess Feng, to marry."

Li Xian said with a bit of displeasure: "Why didn't his daughter marry here?"

Zheng Qi looked at Li Xian for a while before asking: "Then who do you want to marry?"

Ashina Huan has a daughter of the right age, but the problem is that they don't have a suitable boy here. Li Dan's eldest son, Li Chengqi, is about the same age, but he is the heir to the king, and it is not suitable for a Turkic woman to be his concubine.Let's not talk about Li Chengyi and Li Longji, they are not old enough.

In the end, it was Li Chong who let his son marry the Turkic princess. After tossing about these foreigners, Li Xian was already dizzy.

Thinking that the entire imperial court would face a major change of blood, he couldn't stop his headache. Zheng Qi wanted to help him, but many things had to be approved by the regent. Li Xian directly threw the regent's seal to Zheng Qi: "You go, I want to rest."

Zheng Qi was helpless: "Then you can't just ignore everything, can you still pretend to be dead like before at the Great Court Meeting?"

Hearing what he said, Li Xian remembered how he was pushed to the stage by Wu Zhao when he was ignorant, and he kept pretending to be a sculpture at the court meeting. He couldn't help smiling. How can he save his life? How can he imagine that one day he can become the regent king of this Tang Dynasty?

Zheng Qi conveniently pulled him up and hugged him in his arms, and while he was dealing with business affairs, the corner of Li Xian's mouth twitched, not only him, but the upright Zheng Qi back then probably won't be able to come back.

He looked down and saw that what Zheng Qi was reviewing was the result of the Wu family's treatment, or someone applied for the abolition of the Wu family's seven temples.

Li Xian couldn't bear it, but he also knew that it had to be like this. The existence of the Seven Temples of the Wu Clan was a disgrace to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xian suddenly sighed: "The Empress Dowager was so smart that she still missed a move in the end."

If it was Li Xian, at this point, he would probably directly appoint Princess Taiping as the empress dowager. What's wrong with the queen, she can do it, but Princess Taiping can't?

It's a pity that Wu Zhao was limited by this era. Her daughter became a member of the Xue family when she married. She never thought about Princess Taiping as an heir. However, in Li Xian's opinion, Princess Taiping is much better than those wastes of the Wu family. .

Zheng Qi also thought of this, but like most people nowadays, he finds it a bit unacceptable, so he didn't follow the comments and just asked: "How do you deal with Wu Sansi and others?"

Although Wu Chengsi has been abolished and Wu Youning has also been arrested, but the Wu family is really not just these few people. Li Xian was a little annoyed by the messy things that happened.

"What else can I do? Take his title, abolish him as a commoner, and exile him in Lingnan." Li Xian really wanted to kill the Wu family. Although it seems that the Wu family has lost now, it is still the family of the Empress Dowager. , After ten or eight years, everything will disappear, can they not shake up?

If you don't suppress it now, you won't be able to suppress it later. Over the years, Li Xian has gained a deep understanding of the family's ability to survive. As long as there is a chance, he must not leave any possibility for them!

Zheng Qi didn't care about this treatment at all, and then he asked again: "Princess Taiping... you have to change your title too?"

At Li Chongyi's level, Princess Taiping's generation has been directly upgraded. Originally, if Li Xian was at the level, she should be the eldest princess, but now she is about to become the eldest princess.Princess Taiping is only 26 years old now, but her title has changed many times. Just looking at the records will make people feel extremely embarrassing.

In fact, matters within the clan are always easy to deal with, but the courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are difficult to deal with. Among these people, there are many who resigned like Zhang Renyuan. Li Xian directly approved all of them, while the rest stubbornly refused. Li Xian who left had a headache.

As a result, when he had a headache, Zheng Qi went directly to Di Renjie, and then Di Renjie quickly killed all these people and turned them into ordinary people.After Li Xian knew about it, he was dumbfounded for a long while before realizing: Da Zhou is not a solid piece of iron.

After all these things were done, Li Xian looked at the bustling Chang'an City and sighed slightly. Although Chang'an City looks prosperous now, there are too many war-torn places in the world, and I am afraid it will take many years to recuperate.

But that's good too, it just frees up his hands for Li Xian to flex his muscles. What he couldn't do because of his limited power back then, he can do now.

The first thing to do is to build roads. Road construction costs a lot, but there are many benefits. At least it connects all parts of the country, and the transportation is convenient.

It's just that the money for road construction is indeed too much. Needless to say, the treasury before the Great Zhou Dynasty was already empty. Chang'an has only a meager family foundation after years of fighting. That kind of method—designing the route is the job of the imperial court, and the right to build roads can be released, and then those who spend money to build roads can collect tolls. Of course, not all roads can collect tolls, only those approved by the imperial court. Accept, if you find out that you charge casually, you will die.

Then there is the formation of the naval army. In fact, the naval army of the Tang Dynasty is not as good as the army. It is not as good as the army in terms of numbers and armaments. It is also because the current fighting locations are all on the Asian continent, but Li Xian knows that he may sooner or later have to fight with the army. It is not too late for Japan or other countries to go to war, and it is not too late to form a navy, and even if they are not used for war, it is good to let them go to sea.

The fleet that Li Xian sent out before has now returned, bringing back a lot of spices and jewels. These things were immediately robbed when they arrived in Chang'an. It was also quite surprised for a while.

The merchants seemed to have found a business opportunity, but it was a pity that they didn't dare to go to sea casually. After all, it was too dangerous. Li Xian simply asked the imperial court to set up a fleet to take the merchants to sea for purchases. Of course, the money could not be less, Moreover, this is only the money paid by the merchants on the boat. The various luxury goods they bring back from outside have to pay customs duties, which is a lot of money.

Li Xian entrusted this matter to Li Xian. At first, Li Xian was worried that no one would come, but he didn't expect the merchants to sign up so enthusiastically. It's a pity that there is only one fleet, and the merchants can only line up. Come, this fleet went out and came back again, the merchants made a lot of money, and even the treasury of the imperial court began to fill up.

All of a sudden, Lu Mingshang, Minister of the Ministry of Accounting, didn't care about crying with Li Xian and began to smile happily, watching the money of the Ministry of Accounting increasing day by day.

Li Xian even created a tourism industry. Nowadays, the household registration system is very strict, and few people can go far. However, Li Xian used the resources of the imperial court to create a travel agency that can directly check everyone's household registration, and then through the travel agency Signing up, how to get there and how to be brought back by the travel agency, not to mention making money, but there is no big problem in management.

It's just that there is a very serious problem...whether the curfew should be lifted.

Li Xian is actually quite unimpressed by the curfew. Although the curfew is only prohibited on the main road, and there is no such statement in the workshop, there are restrictions after all. As the capital city of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an became the most visited after the tourism industry gradually developed. The place.These days, the rich no longer continue to follow the law of life when the sun rises and the sun sets. A great nightlife is waiting for them.

If nightlife develops, Chang'an's various taxes are estimated to be able to double many times!In the end, with the support of the prime ministers, Li Xian finally abolished the curfew. As for the security issue... Let the Jinwu Guard strengthen management, work day and night, and of course the salary will be higher.

Since the reintegration of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xian has paid more attention to economic development. Everything he does is related to money. Nong Lu Mingshang respects him very much, and he can't wait to learn art from a teacher.

Ten years passed in a hurry, and Li Xian spent ten years building Datang into the most advanced and powerful country in the world. He is confident that even in 50 or 100 years, Datang will still be able to lead the world, and even more so. What's more, many policies that he knows but are not suitable for the present have been written down by him. As long as people can follow this path later, it will not be broken.

Ten years is enough for Li Chongyi to grow from a small bun to a promising young man. Li Chongyi married the queen four years ago, who is the granddaughter of Lou Shide. Since then, Li Xian has gradually transferred the power to Li Chongyi. Li Chongyi felt that he was delegating power, but he did not reject it.

But now, he was a little flustered.After his 19-year-old birthday banquet, Li Xian, who was supposed to have left, came back. He looked at the handsome and tall Li Chongyi with a smile and said, "Sage, it's time for me to change my title."

The title of Prince Regent is not a serious title after all. It has been an expedient measure since ancient times, and Li Xian wanted to get rid of it a long time ago.

After hearing this, Li Chongyi's drunken mind immediately sobered up, and he looked at Li Xian with some surprise: "Uncle... what does uncle mean by this?"

Li Xian looked at him gently: "I've done everything I can do, and it's up to the sage. I'm always here, and the sage can never be alone."

Li Chongyi immediately panicked: "Did uncle hear something? I...I have never suspected you...you..."

Li Xian waved his hand and said, "That's not the case. In fact, I always wanted to be a king of idleness and live a happy life, but I didn't expect that I would end up working half my life. Now that the sage has grown up, he has the appearance of a wise king. I feel so sad." Consolation, it’s time to realize the wish of my youth. The sage will give me some time to see the world of Tang Dynasty with my own eyes.”

Li Chongyi saw that Li Xian's temples were showing a hint of wind and frost, and his nose was sour: "Then...where's Prime Minister Zheng?"

Li Xian smiled mischievously: "Of course he is leaving with me, alright, saint, don't be sad, we old guys are leaving just to let you young people show their strengths, saint let go, if there is anything wrong with us Can help a thing or two."

Li Chongyi looked at Li Xian in a daze for a long while before forcing a smile and said, "Then...uncle, don't forget to visit Da Lang from time to time."

When Li Xian heard the word Da Lang, Li Chongyi who looked like a steamed bun appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but feel warm. He reached out and touched Li Chongyi's head, then got up and left Daming Palace.

Li Xian has a special case in the palace, he can take a car, but today he walked out of the Daming Palace step by step. At this time, the aftermath of the saint's birthday banquet was still there, and the palace was brightly lit. Li Xian saw it when he walked out of the palace gate. Zheng Qi standing outside the door leading a horse.

Zheng Qi turned his head to look at Li Xian, his eyes became brighter against the light, he greeted him and asked, "Are you finished?"

Li Xian nodded, and Zheng Qi smiled slightly: "Finally, I can rest."

Li Xian couldn't help making fun of him: "I thought you had to work until you had to retire."

Zheng Qi asked Li Xian to get on the horse first, and then sat behind Li Xian and embraced him with both hands: "Most of my wishes have been fulfilled now, why should I be persistent? Come, I will take you to a good place."

Before Li Xian had time to ask Zheng Qi, he grabbed the horse's belly and rushed out. Li Xian gasped suddenly, feeling a little helpless in his heart, and Zheng Qi had the guts to gallop the horse in the street.

It's just that he didn't expect that Zheng Qi said he would take him to a good place, but took him directly to a mountain outside the city. He was quite surprised when he saw the four-story courtyard—he I don't even know when Zheng Qi made this thing.

Zheng Qi didn't say a word, just led Li Xian along the way. Every plant and tree in this courtyard was carefully designed by Zheng Qi. He led Li Xian to the highest level step by step. Li Xian found that this There is actually a place like a balcony on the first floor, and I can’t help but feel a little dazed. He seems to have recounted the house style of the era before he passed through to Zheng Qi, but he didn’t expect Zheng Qi to be combined with the buildings of the Tang Dynasty now. Together.

Zheng Qi dragged Li Xian to the "balcony", Zheng Qi pointed to the north and said, "Look, you can overlook the entire Chang'an City from here."

Li Xian looked over from a distance, and indeed saw Chang'an City not far away. Today's Chang'an City is several times larger than it was then, and the outer city, which he jokingly called the first ring, is already the center of the city.

Li Xian looked at Chang'an, which was full of bright lights, and a poem appeared in his mind unexpectedly: Fire trees, silver flowers, and night sky.
