Facts have proven that no one who can mix well among the Tang Dynasty today is stupid!
Even careless people like Liu Hongji, under Luo Shixin's guidance, figured out the purpose of Xiao Han's somewhat inexplicable trip to Lingnan!
Is it really to investigate Feng Ang?
Haha, even Liu Hongji didn’t believe it when he said it!
With the invincible talents of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, who have conquered everything! Is there any need for such a time-consuming and laborious act as "investigation"? As long as His Majesty is suspicious, as long as His Majesty feels that you have a motive! Then there is no need for any evidence at all! I think it was you who did it
Yes, that's what you did! No matter how many excuses you make, it's useless! This is the domineering power of the Tang Empire at the moment.
Deal with the Lingnan family?
Judging from the fact that the Xunfu and other big families were destroyed overnight, the emperor had clearly started to do this! Xiao Han's arrival only opened an opportunity for this matter. It can be said that
, he just did the right thing at the right time, and then His Majesty the Emperor who was hiding behind made a push, and the matter fell into place.
Therefore, since it was not because of them, there is only one reason for Xiao Han's trip to Lingnan: His Majesty deliberately released Xiao Han from Chang'an.
This is also the fundamental reason why Xiao Han was always worried about this in the beginning.
"Hey, I know you are right about this! But who told you to be so close to almost all nobles? Think about it, in the past, no one looked down on anyone, and no one obeyed anyone! They would fight at every turn.
shelf!
But since you have been among them, our military generals have been as good as brothers, and they have always been with you, drinking and singing! Even if you are old-fashioned like Li Jing or withdrawn like Li Ji, you have also been pulled into your small circle.
! If we were of one heart and one mind during the war, there would be nothing to say! But now that the world is at peace, think about it for yourself, as an emperor, can he allow his subordinates to stick together without any problems? "
Seeing Xiao Han's silence, Liu Hongji thought he hadn't thought about it, and continued to console him earnestly: "Not to mention, every time the emperor goes to great lengths to find a new unsociable military commander, otherwise he will be like Xue Wanche, and he will soon be defeated by you.
Run away. Otherwise, like Hou Junji, he will be tricked by you and end up in an extremely miserable end! Your Majesty, isn't he more helpless than you?"
"Hou Junji is not me..." When Xiao Han heard this, he couldn't help opening his mouth to refute, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them helplessly.
As Liu Hongji said before, regarding Hou Junji, it is no longer important whether he was behind it or not.
Outsiders only saw among the generals, a man who did not form cliques, cliques or befriended him finally emerged. As a result, within a few days of taking office, he had a fight with him and ended up in the Western Regions in disgrace.
.
What do you want to do, Xiao Han? Is it possible that you want to make a statement among the generals?
This idea probably appeared in the minds of many people at that time! Even Xiao Lizi himself couldn't help but murmured a few words in his heart, which was ridiculous that he didn't realize it at the time.
Until now, every time he thinks of his uncle Xue Shou's eyes when he looks at him, or of Mr. Yan Zhitui's hesitation in speaking, Xiao Han feels a burning pain on his face!
Now look back and think about it, if I were the emperor, I would sit in that position.
Seeing his ministers forming cliques and criticizing people who are not on good terms with him? He could hold back his thoughts and did not kill him with a knife. He just found a way to drive him away so that he could rearrange the court layout.
The situation is really enough to prove your kindness.
"Let's go back!"
Liu Hongji took a deep look at Xiao Han, then patted his shoulder and said seriously.
"Go back? But this is Guangzhou..." Xiao Han was startled, and wanted to say that he had finished all this, but suddenly saw Liu Hongji's appearance, and finally nodded with a wry smile: "Okay, go back!"
"Hahaha! Okay! If we go back now, we may not be able to catch up with the New Year!" Hearing this, Liu Hongji finally smiled on his face, but Xiao Han's face became even more bitter.
Bastard! Even if you are happy, can you please pat yourself on the shoulder later? Hiss...it hurts!
Xiao Han left Guangzhou.
And he left without warning.
Looking at the room that had become empty overnight, Pu Pu scratched his head for a long time and never thought why he left in such a hurry.
Before the business matters were finished, and before the ship delivered to him had time to be launched, others left so suddenly? What was so urgent about it?
Like Pu Pu, there are many people who can't figure it out, such as Gao Changqing, Miss Chu, and the people in Jiaofu.
However, among these people, some were overjoyed with this result, some were disappointed, and some were gnashing their teeth!
Perhaps, the old county magistrate in the county government understands a little bit about this, but judging from his old godly presence, he probably would never mention it to others.
Xiao Han left, but Guangzhou City will not stop running just because a person leaves. Without Xiao Han, it will still run in an orderly manner along its own inertial track.
After several days of operation, several imperial decrees finally came belatedly.
Among these decrees, the first one was to directly promote the old county magistrate Zhang to the governor of Guangzhou! The governor's office of Guangzhou, which had been vacant for a long time due to Feng Ang's departure, finally welcomed his new master again.
From a seventh-rank county magistrate to a fifth-rank governor?
No matter who listened to it, they would probably be a little confused!
This promotion speed is simply faster than riding a rocket! Even though the old county magistrate Zhang was the prefect of Guizhou before, the gap between the prefect and the governor is not generally large, let alone Guizhou and Guangzhou. There is no comparison.
Just when the people in the city had not yet reacted to this incident, several other decrees once again caught many people off guard!
First, the Supervisor of the Shipping Department who returned to Beijing to report on his duties is about to return, and then the taxation of the Shipping Department has also been revised!
In this change, for the first time, the concept of different products and different taxes was established.
Among them, tobacco leaves, Dongzhu, as well as ivory, spices and other valuables brought by merchants were all taxed heavily!
Sugar, silk, tea and other daily necessities are taxed.
Light taxes are levied on grain, aquatic products, etc.
In addition, the tax exemption policy for officials or scholars in the past will be cancelled! Everyone entering and leaving the docks and ports will be treated equally, and they can only pass after paying all the taxes! If there is anyone who conceals the tax or maliciously evades the tax, then
