The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 477 Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu

Emperor Xuanzong's daily life notes in the history of the Tang Dynasty contain "On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month in the 27th year of Kaiyuan, the emperor heard that Shouwang and his wife had arrived, and they were anxious to find them.I didn't see it, and I returned to the pear garden depressed. '

Li Yunze, who returned to his mansion, didn't know that Li Sanlang couldn't see his daughter-in-law, so he went to watch the Liyuan Baixi all night in depression.

The crosstalk, folk art, magic and acrobatics of later generations are collectively referred to as Liyuan children, and its source is the Liyuan that Li Sanlang spent countless national resources to build.

Li Yunze, who returned to the palace, first asked Yang Yuhuan to arrange a banquet and entertain guests at night.

And he himself entertained the guest in the study.

This guest can be said to be penniless now, but he is a well-known figure in the history books.

This person is the famous Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty and his relative Yang Guozhong.

Of course, his name is not yet Yang Guozhong, but his real name is Yang Zhao.

The reason why he later changed his name to Yang Guozhong, of course, was to show his loyalty to the country, and it was purely a slick face project.

Originally, Yang Zhao was a county lieutenant in Fufeng County, and he was in charge of local security.

After Li Yunze slept on the piano and chorded Yu Nu, he immediately sent his servants to Fufeng County to call Yang Zhao over.

If you want to do things, you need people.

As a prince, wantonly expanding his strength is very taboo.

Although the princes of the Tang Dynasty were not raised as pigs like the princes of the Ming Dynasty, nor were they controlled in every way like the princes of the Song Dynasty.

The prince of the Song Dynasty was closely monitored because Zhao Guangyi himself became the emperor by beheading his brothers. Of course, the descendants were extremely wary of the brothers.

However, the princes of the Tang Dynasty rebelled successively before, Li Er's younger brother rebelled, Li Er's son rebelled, and Li Sanlang's elders rebelled.
Because there are too many rebellious princes, it is impossible to expand their strength on the face of it.

Moreover, with his current status, it is not easy for others to sincerely rely on him. On the contrary, if he uses his relatives, not only no one will say much, but they will also appreciate him for attaching importance to his in-laws.

Yang Yuhuan's background is not low, her father is the Duke of Qi.

It's a pity that only one son died early, and although the remaining four daughters are quite a lot, they are useless.

There is a shortage of males in the entire Yang family, and only Yang Zhao is really available.

"My lord, Fufeng county captain Yang Zhao, pay homage to the king, the king is a thousand years old~~~"

Sitting on the chair, Li Yunze looked at the tall and handsome Yang Zhao in front of him, and nodded slowly, "Get up and talk."

"Thank you my lord~~~"

Yang Zhao stood up with an excited face, folded his hands and stood on one side with his head bowed.

Yang Guozhong's external conditions are very good, he looks handsome and dignified. After all, he is the nephew of the famous handsome man Zhang Yizhi, and he is more likely to be his illegitimate son.

Li Yunze sized him up, not caring about his reputation in history.

What's wrong with the treacherous minister, the treacherous minister is also a minister, as long as it can be used.

"You're welcome." Li Yunze smiled and motioned him to sit down. "You are Yuhuan's elder brother, so you are a family. From now on, you don't need to be polite in front of this king, just sit down."

"Thank you my lord~~~"

Yang Zhao, with a proud face, carefully sat down on a stool with half of his buttocks.

“Is it okay in Fufeng County?”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, my lord."

After some nonsense chatting and nonsense, Li Yunze got into the topic, "I invite you back this time because I want you to do something for me."

Yang Zhao hurriedly stood up and saluted, "I am willing to do my best for the king!"

"Sit first, sit first."

The smiling Li Yunze reached out and pressed down, "Sit down and talk."

When Yang Zhao was seated again, Li Yunze's face became condensed, and he said in a deep voice, "You are Yuhuan's elder brother and one of your own, and I don't need to hide it from you. My ambition is in the East Palace. What you have to do now is to help me enter the palace." Lord East Palace. After the matter is completed, naturally it will not
sorry for you. "

Yang Zhao was overjoyed, wishing he could show his heart and liver to Li Yunze on the spot, so as to express his true feelings, "I am willing to go through fire and water for the king!"

"well."

Li Yunze got up, went to the bookshelf and took down a heavy wooden box.

Then he put the wooden box in Yang Zhao's hands.

Yang Zhao, who took the wooden box, suddenly dropped his arm, it was too heavy.

After Li Yunze's signal to open the wooden box, his eyes straightened.

Inside the wooden box are neatly arranged gold bars, full of them.The dazzling golden light made Yang Zhao's hands tremble.

"There are 800 taels of gold here." Li Yunze, who stood with his hands behind his back, said indifferently, "Go to the Western Regions and select elite soldiers from the frontier army to serve as marriages for the palace. It doesn't need to be many, a hundred people are enough. Remember, Anxi Jiedu Lai Yao had a Lieutenant Zhaowu under his command, named

Li Siye.No matter what, this person must be recruited to the palace. "

"Li Siye." Yang Zhao closed the wooden box with trembling hands, and nodded vigorously, "Please don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely bring him back!"

"Do it well."

Li Yunze, who was full of smiles, raised his hand and patted Yang Zhao's shoulder, "I won't treat you badly. By the way, why don't you change your name."

Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stood up and saluted, "I thank you, the king, for giving me your name~~~"

"As a minister, I should serve the country loyally, how about changing my name to Yang Guozhong?"

"Thank you, my lord! From now on, I will be Yang Guozhong!"

"Let's go, let's go eat first. Yuhuan is very happy to know you are here, and personally cooks and arranges a banquet for you."

"Chen, Xie Wangfei~~~"

Yang Yuhuan was indeed very happy, because her family was small and lacked men, so she was naturally very kind to this cousin.

At the banquet, they exchanged glasses and learned that Yang Zhao changed his name to Yang Guozhong, and even told him to work hard for King Shou.

Yang Yuhuan has a gentle personality, but no matter how gentle she is, she is still a woman.

As long as it is a woman, there is no one who does not want her husband to be famous.

At the level of the prince, there is only one goal to get ahead, and that is to enter the East Palace.

Li Yunze's purpose of entering the East Palace was not just to be the crown prince, his main goal was that the East Palace was the only place where he could legally possess military power.

After the Tang Dynasty, the prince's six rate has completely become a decoration, but here in Datang, it is really possible to raise soldiers.

At that time, Li Jiancheng's Prince Liu led him to almost force Li Er to jump over the wall when he was at Xuanwu Gate.

Li Chengqian's Prince Six Rate was the main force in his rebellion.

Although there are many restrictions now, being able to own it is the greatest victory.

The most important thing about this army is not how many or how strong it is.The really important significance is that it can exist in the capital reasonably and legally.

Millions of soldiers are all in the border areas, and it is not as good as thousands of elites in the capital.

Yang Guozhong, who had a banquet and saw the opportunity to make a fortune, got the Guan Fang of the Deacon of the Marriage Mansion. With this, he could act everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, especially when he left the Yumen Pass, it was absolutely impossible without the Guan Fang.

After drinking a cup of tea and chatting for a while, the impatient Yang Guozhong left and hurried to Anxi.

Li Longji fought non-stop for years and months. Although he emptied the national treasury, he also fought a vast and vast country.

And Datang's frontier army has also become the most powerful army in the world through years of continuous training in wars.

The strength of the Tang Army's frontier army is so strong that it is no exaggeration to say that it can beat the world.

Such a powerful frontier army was finally consumed in the Anshi Rebellion 20 years later, and there was no other emotion to speak of except regret.

At this time, Datang's internal conflicts were already very acute.

Although Wu Zetian successfully suppressed the powerful families, these families that have been passed down for hundreds of years have a profound heritage and are still in the process of tenaciously recovering their vitality.

And the new forces formed by a group of eunuchs and treacherous officials reused by Li Sanlang are rampant all over the country, and they are also tearing the entire Tang Dynasty apart.

Li Yunze must speed up his pace to prevent Datang from going on the road of no return.

After Yang Guozhong left, Li Yunze sent a servant to send a greeting card to Li Linfu.

Li Linfu belonged to the imperial family of the Tang Dynasty, and his ancestor was Li Yuan's cousin, Li Shuliang who was named the king of Changping County.

Last year, Li Linfu was awarded the third-rank chancellor under Tong Zhongshu's sect with the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

Li Linfu is a minister of power, and he is also a treacherous and cunning minister of power.

Li Yunze's visit to him was not supposed to be, after all, the prince and the prime minister messing around would cause criticism.

It's just that Li Yunze didn't care about this, he agreed on a date, and he would simply pay a visit after a few days.

The only reason why he came to visit Li Linfu was that this person was helped by Concubine Wu Hui, and belonged to Concubine Wu Hui's faction.

The teacher of Prince Li Ying was Zhang Jiuling, the current prime minister. For Li Linfu who wanted to continue to climb up and take over the power, Zhang Jiuling was the biggest stumbling block in front of him.

Zhang Jiuling and Crown Prince Li Ying supported each other, and it was impossible to deal with either one alone, they could only attack together.

In this way, Li Linfu and Concubine Wu Hui's faction, who were eager to promote Li Wei to the throne, naturally came together to work hand in hand.

"Chen, Li Linfu, pay homage to the king, the king is a thousand years old~~~"

"You don't need to be too polite." Li Yunze stepped forward quickly, and supported Li Linfu who was making a gesture.

In the Tang Dynasty, the prime minister was very powerful, and all officials had to salute when they saw the prime minister, but the prime minister did not have to return the salute.

Even at the prince level, it is the same.

Although the current prime minister is actually Zhang Jiuling, Li Linfu accepted Li Yunze's statement calmly.

Li Linfu prepared a banquet and called some of his sons who were at home to sit with him.

Saying some homely things at the banquet, and exchanging some unnutritious words with each other, can be regarded as a good time for the host and guest.

The real highlight was the interview in the study after the banquet.

When he came to the study room and had a sip of tea, Li Yunze, who had been doing homework before, put down the tea bowl in his hand and straightened his expression immediately.

"Li Gong, this king wants to take over the East Palace, and I hope Li Gong will help me."

"Oh."

Li Linfu lowered his head and sipped tea unhurriedly, "This is the emperor's family business, how can I wait for outsiders to talk too much."

"It's a family matter, but also a state matter."

Li Yunze frowned slightly dissatisfied, "Zhang Jiuling is domineering and pretends to be the prime minister. Li Gong, who is loyal to the country, is the most suitable prime minister."

Li Linfu smiled, "The prince is benevolent, how can he be exchanged lightly."

"Zhang Jiuling takes power, and he has to make his own decisions about everything. Where will the emperor be placed?"

"The crown prince is respected by others, and all officials respect and look up to the world."

"Zhang Jiuling"

"Prince."

"."

After some seemingly futile probing, Li Yunze simply stood up and handed his hands together, "Li Gong, I'm leaving."

The smiling Li Linfu said with a smile, "Go slowly, my lord, and I will see you off soon."

After Li Yunze left, Li Linfu slowly restrained his smile this time, "It's okay."

After leaving Li Linfu's mansion, Li Yunze took a deep breath and got on his horse, raised his hand and touched his nose.

"It's done."
