retaliate

Chapter 1498 Then turn around
When a girl in a thin skirt appeared on the street, the news from everywhere gradually became less and less.

There was almost no response from the old place of the Northern Liao Dynasty, and it passed through this period of change quietly.The tyrants who have just taken shape in various places have been warned.

You can make money, no problem, but the population is a red line, anyone who touches this line will be killed without mercy.

On this issue, the emperor of Chang'an was as determined as iron.

Several riots occurred in northern Xinjiang, but they were not large-scale and were quickly suppressed.Song Zhen's fast horse told the emperor: Northern Xinjiang is as stable as a mountain!
There is nothing to talk about in the east. The eastern border of the Tang Dynasty is not well developed, and the power of those big clans and tyrants is not strong enough.So it was easily suppressed.

Needless to say, Xijiang didn't send anyone there at all this time.Xijiang Jiedushi, Xing Guogong Zhao Song belonged to the party of Yang Songcheng and others, and if the decree was passed on, it would only be used as straw paper to wipe his ass.

As for the south, this time it was the place where the resistance was most intense.

The south is rich and prosperous, and there are fewer powerful families than those in Guanzhong.Even after Shi Zhongtang's purge of the rebels, and the emperor's intentional or unintentional purge during the Southern Expedition, the intention to purge the population still triggered a large-scale rebellion.

The troops stationed in various parts of the south immediately dispatched to suppress it, and 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.

The big clans in Guanzhong are all gnashing their teeth talking about the emperor's insidiousness.

"That's luck! No, it's destiny!" Han Ji said to He Lianrong, "Shi Zhongtang's rebellion swept across the south and weakened the powerful families in the south, which is just convenient for His Majesty to initiate reforms."

This is an internal view, but from the outside view, the emperor's shit luck is really good.

Northern Xinjiang was the emperor's base, and when the emperor transferred officials to Chang'an, what was left behind was not Liu Qing, nor Luo Cai, but Song Zhen.

At this moment, it seems that the emperor deliberately left Song Zhen to suppress the rebellion.

It can be seen that attacking the slaves was a long-standing plan of the emperor, and even had an idea when he was in northern Xinjiang.

In the world outside Guanzhong, the situation gradually calmed 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 the palace didn't feel this way, at least Ah Liang didn't.

The emperor deliberately created a relaxed atmosphere recently, saying that the situation in the world is gradually slowing down, and the most critical move of the Tang Dynasty's reform can be regarded as a successful move.

He even brought his family to a barbecue in the palace again. The servants who didn't know it thought it was a fire, and they pulled the water truck and prepared to spray...

"Aye, I'm leaving the palace."

Today is the day when Ah Liang goes out of the palace to observe the people's sentiments. He changed into casual clothes and prepared to go out with two servants.

The emperor was reading the memorial, "Go!"

Ah Liang resigned, and when he walked outside the hall, he heard the emperor inside seem to be muttering something.

"This hard day, when will it be the head!"

A Liang asked the two servants, "Did you hear that?"

Looking at the straightforward Jiang Hui, he shook his head, "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, "Your ears are pretty good."

Ah Liang led the two of them out of the palace, and the guards followed behind and around without a trace.

Before he had gone far, he saw a man in brocade robe pointing at street vendors and yelling at them, and even raised his whip as if to whip him.

"No one cares?" A Liang asked.

"Your Highness, that is the son of a powerful man!" Luo Song said.

"Your Highness must not interfere." Jiang Hui said in a low voice: "If people find out, Yu Shi will impeach His Highness. In addition, in such matters... If His Highness takes action, he will exceed his authority and will be easily criticized by others."

Ah Liang nodded, "That's right, it's just a little aggrieved."

Luo Song said: "When Your Majesty asks His Highness to be a council member, he will naturally have power."

"That's not appropriate." Jiang Hui said: "It was like this to honor the emperor at the beginning, but in the end... hey!"

A Liang glanced at him, "You know a lot."

Jiang Hui's heart skipped a beat, and he apologized and said with a smile: "The servants are just hearing the rumors in the palace."

"Hearsay is also a first-class skill, work hard!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Hui lowered his head, a look of pride flashed in his eyes.

A Liang walked around in the market all the way.

"It is said that His Majesty is going to deal ruthless blows to those nobles in Guanzhong!"

Several canals run through the city of Chang'an, and beside each canal is a washing place.

The women gathered by the ditch to wash their clothes, talking about various news while washing.

"That's right! It is said that the heads of the people who were killed outside Guanzhong are rolling, and I don't know why Your Majesty is like this!"

"It is said that they want to be naturalized, and they are not allowed to keep slaves."

"You are not allowed to keep slaves?"

"Yes!"

"But...but if you can't survive, what else can you do except be a slave?"

"But why can't you survive?" A young woman asked back.

"The fields are gone."

"Who took the field?"

"Those nobles... Hey! You are very sharp! Who told you?"

Everyone was curious, the young woman said: "That man is a little fat man, what's his name... Dongbao is still Dongbao, very sincere."

"That's right! Our fields were taken away by those nobles?"

The atmosphere by the canal suddenly changed, and turned into a meeting to denounce the nobles.

Ah Liang walked down the canal very happily, and saw a little fat man and a group of women talking about something.

"Isn't that Bao Dong?"

Bao Dong frothed and said: "Those nobles keep slaves, and the government has less taxes, but there are so many national expenses. If there is no money and no food, who can ask for it? We can only ask for it from us people. Is it possible to raise taxes? Haven't you had enough of waiting? In the end, the nobles have benefited, but let us take the blame..."

"That is, the nobles don't have to pay taxes."

A Liang listened for a while, Bao Dong found him, and found an excuse to come over later, "Why did Your Highness come here?"

"I'm here to hang around." A Liang Zan said: "I heard what you said earlier, it was really deceptive, no wonder Aye trusts you so much. By the way, how many people like you are there in the Imperial College?"

"Your Highness is one of our own, so I won't say anything. Earlier, the Guozijian was a big frame. Those nobles' children couldn't find a way to become an official, so they entrusted their connections to join the Guozijian. There are not many talents."

"now what?"

"I don't even know now."

When the emperor came to the throne, Bao Dong, who was a classmate, was also highly valued. Now he is a doctor in the Ministry of Rites. It is said that when an old servant is old, he will take over.

After entering the Ministry of Rites, everyone knew that he was the emperor's classmate, so naturally they looked at him differently.No, the boss above often arranges work for him to show his reuse.

"Is it convenient to go and have a look?" A Liang asked.

"Convenience!" Bao Dong said, "You don't need to worry about your safety when you enter the Imperial College, just turn 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."

It's just that metaphysics has become a place for educating people, and he doesn't know if it's convenient.

"Just go!"

Bao Dong said.

"So, you are busy with your work."

"Yes!"

A Liang watched Bao Dong walk among a group of women, smiled very sincerely, and began to fool around, no, he began to publicize the benefits of being a foreigner...

But why is there a woman touching his waist?
And Bao Dong had a look of refusal and welcome on his face.

A Liang shook his head, feeling that Bao Dong was really miserable.

When he arrived at the Guozijian, the gatekeeper was the gatekeeper of the northern Xinjiang mountain gate, and when he saw A Liang, he was stopped when he wanted to salute.

"Your Highness is just here for a walk, don't make a fuss." The accompanying Qiu Longwei stepped forward and said.

"Yes!"

When Ah Liang entered, Menzi said cheerfully, "Your Majesty is from our metaphysics background, and so is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If things go on like this, I will be the leader of metaphysics."

……

"The old man is not interested in things like leader Fang Wai."

Ning Yayun said to the visiting teacher of Yunshan, Guo Yunhai: "I will not be interested in metaphysics in the future. This is contrary to the purpose of metaphysics."

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 be indifferent to the desire for fame and fortune.

What kind of leader, Fang Wai, and the brothers are drinking a little wine in metaphysics, arguing frankly on some illusory questions?

Guo Yunhai said with a smile: "But last time His Majesty said that the Tang Dynasty must have a religious town or something."

"Suppressing the place?" Ning Yayun's eyelids twitched, when a disciple came in and said, "Master, Your Highness has entered the Imperial College."

"Casual clothes or..." An Ziyu asked.

"It's casual clothes, and there are guards behind it."

"Then don't worry about it." An Ziyu smiled reservedly at Guo Yunhai, "When I was in Beijiang, His Highness came to Xuanxue whenever he had nothing to do. If there were too many times, I would slack off waiting, it shouldn't be!"

Ha ha!

If you have the ability, you let the prince go to the gate of Yunshan Mountain, and the old man promises to welcome you backwards.

An Ziyu went to Versailles, which made Guo Yunhai feel a little sour, so he left immediately.

After he left, An Ziyu asked, "What does His Majesty mean by suppressing the place?"

"The old man doesn't know, let's put it down!"

The old handsome Guo never struggled with these things, and lay down with peace of mind.

A Liang met an interesting person in the Imperial College.

"I see that you have a good conversation, and you have some grace in your gestures, why are you dressed in such shabby clothes?"

Ma Xi scratched his head, "You young man is so rude..." He said with some embarrassment: "In order to come to Chang'an, I fell out with Aye, and I have no face to ask for money."

"Oh!" Ah Liang said with a smile, "Where is your home?"

"Xianyang."

"A good place." A Liang Zan said: "That place has outstanding people, so it's said that there are a lot of rich and powerful people?"

"That's right! Quite a few, this time they said they were going to clean up Guanzhong, but they haven't done anything yet, and they don't know what will happen next." Ma Xi said with a sad face.

"Is your family powerful?" A Liang asked.

"That's it!"

A Liang looked at this person carefully, and pretended to be casual and asked: "In that case, why didn't you invite your master to teach at home, but came to the Imperial College instead?"

"Those gentlemen seem to be the sons of powerful people, and what they teach is how to make a bigger family business."

"Is that bad?"

"What a fart!" Ma Xi tugged at his clothes, "I admire His Majesty the most. Your Majesty said that everyone should take care of my family. But Aye only cared about my family. I quarreled with him." After one incident, I came to Chang'an to study in anger."

Gee!
This person can be regarded as... what is Aye talking about?
By the way, it is called aspiring youth.

A Liang inevitably felt some sympathy, "Many people died in various places this time."

"What do you mean?" Ma Xi asked.

"Those big and powerful families refused to hand over their population, and many of them were beheaded in the street. Those who resisted were all suppressed." A Liang said: "You don't think Guanzhong can be safe, do you?"

Ma Xi has been struggling with this matter recently, and asked after hearing the words: "How do you know?"

"I, Aye, am in court." Aliang 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 His Majesty's words. I, Aye, will be an official by His Majesty's side."

"A disciple of His Majesty's attendant? No wonder he was able to enter the Imperial College at such a young age." Ma Xi was anxious, "No, I have to go home and 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 late, but it's really gone."

Ma Xi cupped his hands, "Thank you very much, if you avoid disaster, I will treat you to a drink later."

Do you think I can drink?

A Liang smiled and cupped his hands.

Luo Song beside him asked, "Why did Your Highness help him?"

"Aye said that it's not good to just forcefully suppress, you have to use both soft and hard methods. In this way, if someone bows his head on his own initiative, he is an example. With an example, others will hesitate..."

"Your Highness is brilliant!" Luo Song praised.

Jiang Hui, who was convenient to go, came back, and seeing Luo Song's expression of admiration, he asked, "But what did Your Highness say?"

"It's nothing!" Luo Song sneered in his heart, thinking that you and I are competing for His Highness's trust, do you think I will tell you?

Ah Liang looked at the undercurrent between the two servants, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

This situation seems to be getting more and more interesting!
