When a girl wearing a thin skirt appeared on the street, the news from everywhere gradually became less and less.
There was almost no response from the hometown of Beiliao, and it passed this period of change quietly. The tycoons who had just begun to take shape in various places were warned.
You can make money, no problem, but population is a red line. Anyone who touches this line will be killed without mercy. On this issue, the emperor of Chang'an has an iron will.
Several riots occurred in Northern Xinjiang, but they were not large in scale and were quickly suppressed. Song Zhen quickly reported to the emperor: Northern Xinjiang is as stable as a mountain!
There is nothing to talk about in the east. The Eastern Frontier of the Tang Dynasty was not developed to begin with, and the powerful families and powerful forces were not strong enough. Therefore, they were easily suppressed.
Needless to say, no one was sent to Xijiang this time. The military envoy of Xijiang, Xing Guogong Zhao Song, was a member of Yang Songcheng and others. If the decree was passed on, it would only be used as tissue paper to wipe the butt.
As for the south, this time the resistance was the most intense.
The south is rich, but the rich and powerful families are less powerful than those in Guanzhong. Even after Shi Zhongtang's purge of rebels and the emperor's intentional or unintentional clean-up during the southern expedition, the purpose of cleaning up the population still triggered a large-scale rebellion. Troops stationed in various parts of the south immediately
To suppress the situation, the emperor even dispatched reinforcements from Guanzhong to the south.
Large-scale rebellions in the south were suppressed, but sporadic and small-scale rebellions continued to occur.
The wealthy people in Guanzhong were all gnashing their teeth and talking about the emperor's insidiousness.
"That's luck! No, it's destiny!" Han Ji said to He Lianrong: "Shi Zhongtang's rebellion swept the south and weakened the powerful families in the south, which was convenient for His Majesty to start reforms."
This is an internal view, but to the outside world, the emperor's shit luck is really good.
Northern Xinjiang was the emperor's base, and when the emperor mobilized officials to take charge of Chang'an, the one who stayed was not Liu Qing or Luo Cai, but Song Zhen.
At this moment, it seems that the emperor deliberately kept Song Zhen behind to suppress the rebellion.
It can be seen that the emperor had long planned to take action against slaves, and he even had the idea when he was in northern Xinjiang.
In the world outside Guanzhong, the situation is gradually calming down.
Everyone gradually turned their attention to Guanzhong and Chang'an.
Since the emperor has cleaned up the population everywhere, he will naturally not let Guanzhong go.
The atmosphere in Guanzhong gradually became tense.
But there was no such feeling in the palace, at least not for A Liang.
The emperor has deliberately created a relaxed atmosphere recently, saying that the situation in the world is gradually slowing down and that the most critical move in the reform of the Tang Dynasty has been successfully completed.
He even brought his family to a barbecue in the palace. The unknowing servants thought there was a fire somewhere, so they pulled a water tanker and prepared to spray...
"Aye, I'm leaving the palace."
Today is the day when A Liang goes out of the palace to observe the sentiment of the people. He changes into casual clothes and prepares to go out with two servants. The emperor is reading the memorial and says, "Go!"
Ah Liang resigned and when he walked outside the palace, he heard the emperor muttering something inside.
"When will these miserable days end?"
Ah Liang asked the two chamberlains, "Did you hear that?"
Looking at the straightforward Jiang Hui, he shook his head and said, "I didn't hear that."
Luo Song said, "Your Majesty seems to be talking about suffering..."
Jiang Hui glanced at Luo Song and said with a smile, "You have really good ears."
Ah Liang took the two of them out of the palace, and the guards followed behind and around them without leaving any trace.
Not far away, I saw a man in a brocade robe pointing at street vendors and yelling at them, and even raised a whip as if to beat them.
"No one cares?" A Liang asked.
"Your Highness, that must be the son of a powerful man!" Luo Song said.
"Your Highness must not interfere." Jiang Hui whispered: "If anyone knows about it, the imperial censor will impeach Your Highness. In addition, if His Highness takes action... He will have exceeded his authority and will be easily criticized."
Ah Liang nodded, "That's right, I'm just a little frustrated."
Luo Song said: "Whenever your Majesty appoints His Majesty to be the director, you will naturally have the power."
"That's not appropriate either." Jiang Hui said, "That was how I was filial to the emperor at the beginning, but in the end... ugh!"
Ah Liang glanced at him and said, "You know a lot."
Jiang Hui's heart skipped a beat and he smiled and said, "I just heard about it in the palace."
"I heard it's a first-class skill, so do it well!"
"yes!"
Jiang Hui lowered his head, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
Ah Liang wandered around the market all the way.
"It's said that His Majesty is going to be cruel to those noble people in Guanzhong!"
Several canals run through Chang'an City. Next to each canal is a washing place.
Women gathered by the water channel to wash clothes, and while washing, they talked about various news.
"That's right! It's said that people were killed outside Guanzhong, but I don't know why Your Majesty is like this!"
"I said I wanted to be a citizen and not allowed to keep slaves."
"Slaves are not allowed?"
"yes!"
"But...but if I can't survive, what else can I do except become a slave?"
"Why can't I live anymore?" a young woman asked.
"The fields are gone."
"Who took the fields?"
"Those nobles... Hey! What you said is very sharp! Who told you?"
Everyone was curious, and the young woman said: "That man is a little fat guy, what is his name... Dongbao or Dongbao, very sincere."
"That's right! Didn't our fields just get taken away by those noble people?"
The atmosphere at the ditch suddenly changed and turned into a meeting to denounce the nobles.
Ah Liang happily walked down the canal and saw a little fat man talking to a group of women ("Isn't that Bao Dong?"
Bao Dong was frothing at the mouth and said: "Those nobles keep slaves, and the government has less taxes, but the state has so much. If we have no money and no food, who can we ask for? We can only ask for it from the common people. Is there a tax increase?"
Haven't you had enough of waiting? In the end, the nobles got the benefits, but let us take the blame..."
"That's right, noble people don't have to pay taxes."
A Liang listened for a while, but Bao Dong found him and later made an excuse to come over, "Why are you here, Your Highness?" "I'm just hanging around here." A Liang praised, "I heard what you said before, it was really deceptive.
, no wonder Aye trusts you so much. By the way, how many talents like you are there in the Imperial College?"
"Your Highness is one of our own, so I won't lie. In the early days, the Imperial College was a big trap. Those sons of nobles could not find a way to become officials, so they would use their connections to enter the Imperial College. There were not many talents."
"What now?"
"Now I don't know."
After the emperor ascended the throne, Bao Dong, who was a classmate, was also given a high priority. Now he is a doctor in the Ministry of Etiquette. It is said that he will take over the position when an old minister retires.
After entering the Ministry of Rites, everyone knew that he was a classmate of the emperor, so they naturally looked at him differently. The bosses above often arranged work for him to show his importance.
"Is it convenient for me to go and have a look?" A Liang asked.
"Convenient!" Bao Dong said: "Your Highness does not need to worry about safety after entering the Imperial College, you can just move around as you like."
This Ah Liang knew, "When I was in northern Xinjiang, I didn't know how many times I went to the Metaphysics Mountain Gate."
But now that metaphysics has become a place to educate children, he doesn't know if it's convenient.
"Just go!"
Bao Dong said.
"Well, you go about your business."
"yes!"
A Liang watched Bao Dong walk among a group of women, smiled extraordinarily sincerely, and began to lie, no, he started to promote the benefits of becoming a foreigner...
But why is there a woman touching his waist?
Moreover, Bao Dong looked like he wanted to refuse but still wanted to welcome her.
Ah Liang shook his head, feeling that Bao Dong was really miserable.
When we arrived at the Imperial Academy, the gate was the gate of Beijiang Mountain Gate. When we saw A Liang, he was about to salute but was stopped. "Your Highness is just here to look around, don't say anything." The accompanying Qiu Long Guard stepped forward and said.
"yes!
"
When A Liang entered, the disciple said happily: "Your Majesty is from our Xuanxue family, and so is His Royal Highness. If this continues, I will be the leader of Xuanxue."
"I'm not interested in things like leader Fang Wai."
Ning Yayun said to the visiting Yunshan Master Guo Yunhai: "Metaphysics will not be interested in this in the future. This is contrary to the purpose of metaphysics cultivation."
The atmosphere inherited from metaphysics is free and unrestrained, the more free and easy the better. But if you want to be free and unrestrained, you must look down on the desire for fame and fortune.
What kind of leader is Fang Wai, and how can Ru Ge and the others drink a little wine in metaphysics and argue happily about some illusory issues?
Guo Yunhai smiled and said: "But your Majesty said last time that the Tang Dynasty must have religious control."
"Suppressing the place?" Ning Yayun's eyelids twitched. At this time, a disciple came in and said, "Headmaster, Your Highness has entered the Imperial College."
"Civil clothes or..." An Ziyu asked.
"I'm wearing casual clothes, and I have a guard behind me."
"Then don't worry." An Ziyu smiled reservedly at Guo Yunhai, "When we were in Northern Xinjiang, His Highness came to Xuanxue whenever he had nothing to do. The number of times has increased, and we have become slacker. We shouldn't!"
hehe!
If you are able, you can ask the prince to go to the gate of Yunshan Mountain, and I promise to welcome you.
An Ziyu's talk about Versailles made Guo Yunhai feel a little sad and left immediately.
After he left, An Ziyu asked, "What did your Majesty mean by holding the town?"
"I don't know, just put it down!"
Lao Shuaiguo never bothers with these things, he just lies down and feels at ease.
A Liang met an interesting person in the Imperial College.
"I see that you speak well and behave with dignity. Why are you wearing such shabby clothes?"
Maxi scratched his head, "You young man is so rude..." He said with some embarrassment: "In order to come to Chang'an, Aye and I had a falling out, and I was too embarrassed to ask for money."
"Oh!" Ah Liang said with a smile, "Where is your home?"
"Xianyang."
"It's a good place." Aliang praised: "That place is full of outstanding people. It is said that there are many rich and powerful people there?"
"Yes! Quite a few. This time they said they were going to clean up Guanzhong, but they haven't done anything yet. I don't know what will happen next." Ma Xi said with a sad face.
"Is your family powerful?" A Liang asked.
"That's right!"
Ah Liang looked at this person carefully and asked casually, "In that case, why didn't you ask your teacher to teach you at home, but came to the Imperial College instead?"
"Those gentlemen look like they are the sons of powerful men. They are all teaching knowledge about how to make the family business bigger." "Isn't that good?"
"What a fart!" Ma Xi tugged at his clothes, "The one I admire the most is Your Majesty. Your Majesty said that if a small family needs to be taken care of, everyone should take care of it. But Aye only cares about the small family. I had a quarrel with him.
One day, he came to Chang'an to study in anger. "Tsk!
This person can be considered...what is Aye talking about?
By the way, they are called aspiring young people.
Ah Liang inevitably felt some sympathy, "Many people died in various places this time."
"What do you mean?" Maxi asked.
"Those wealthy and powerful people refused to hand over their people, and many of them were beheaded in the street. Those who resisted were suppressed." A Liang said: "You don't think Guanzhong can be safe, do you?"
Ma Xi has been struggling with this matter recently. Hearing this, he asked: "How do you know?"
"I, Aye, am in the court." A Liang said proudly, "I heard what Aye said."
Ma Xi became more and more anxious, "My Aye is stubborn, if he refuses to bow his head..."
"Then turn around." A Liang said, seeing Ma Xi stunned, "This is your Majesty's word. I, Aye, will serve as an official by your Majesty's side."
"Still the son of His Majesty's attendant? No wonder he was admitted to the Imperial Academy at such a young age." Ma Xi was anxious, "No, I have to go home to persuade Aye."
"I'm not a student here, but for Aye's sake, they allowed me to come in and hang out. By the way, hurry up. It's too late, but it's really gone."
Ma Xi handed over his hand and said, "Thank you very much. If you want to avoid
After a while, I’ll treat you to a drink later.”
Do you think I can drink?
Ah Liang smiled and held his hands.
Luo Song next to him asked: "Why did your highness help him?"
"Aye said that it is not good to just suppress with force. You have to use soft and hard tactics. In this way, if someone takes the initiative to bow his head, it is an example. With an example, others will hesitate..."
"Your Highness is extremely intelligent!" Luo Song praised.
Jiang Hui came back from a convenience trip and saw Luo Song with admiration on his face, so he asked: "But what did His Highness say?"
"Nothing!" Luo Song sneered in his heart, thinking that you and I are both competing for His Highness's trust. Do you think I will tell you?
Ah Liang looked at the undercurrent surging between the two chamberlains, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
This situation seems to be getting more and more interesting!
