328. See Guo An Again

Luo Yong returned to Chang'an this time, so he naturally had to write an application first, but he left too quickly at the beginning. Before the application was reached Chang'an City, he and Qiao Junlin arrived first.

This time, the Luo family's affairs were a big deal. Some lower-level staff of the Ministry of Personnel asked their superiors about this matter. The superiors asked their superiors again, and then asked Fang Xuanling where he asked. Fang Xuanling waved his hand: "When the document arrives, I will approve it for him."

The emperor also wanted to use Luo Yong, and the officials in the court also realized that the reason why Luo Siniang was named the county lord this time was to appease Luo Yong?

After all, what happened to their family this time is not a trivial matter. If it doesn’t work out properly, the children of the Luo family will be taken down in a nutshell.

As for why the emperor valued Luo's use of this person so much, at the moment, it should be for the part of the Western Regions.

Those people in the court have not dared to attack Luo Yong very much recently, because the emperor is very suspicious of his illness. As long as he has some eyesight, he doesn't want to be a pioneer at this time. Besides, Luo Yong is also holding his breath when he comes back this time. Although he may not be able to do anything to these people, no one wants to rush up to be cannon fodder at this critical moment.

So in this way, Luo Yong, who was full of anger, took his younger brothers and sisters to major temples in Chang'an City all day long, looking like a kind man and a trustworthy woman.

And those forces that wanted to get rid of him quickly have also been quite calm recently, and at first glance they are in peace.

However, the private situation was quite tense. I often heard such news in the past two days. Yan was the emperor and asked someone to go to the palace to ask, saying that the civil and military officials in the court seemed to be very dissatisfied with his reusing Luo Yong, and asked them if they knew who it was.

The person who was questioned was so shocked that he was sweating. This was not to say that anyone was dissatisfied with Luo Yong, but to say that he was dissatisfied with the emperor's behavior of using Luo Yong. Isn't that dissatisfied with the emperor?

Logically speaking, in this dynasty, the court officials were dissatisfied with the emperor, and they spoke more directly, which made the emperor unhappy. At most, it would affect his career and might even gain a reputation as a righteous person.

But what is going on now? The emperor is suspecting that someone has plotted against Luo Yong on his own. At this critical moment, the tiger is waiting to show his power. If anyone is targeted by him, he will not be able to get rid of it.

Recently, many officials have been in panic. Needless to say, those who have ghosts in their hearts are not, and those who have no ghosts in their hearts are afraid that they will be affected by the fish.

Luo Yong also heard about these things through the Bai family. These brothers and sisters of the Luo family temporarily live in the Bai family. When they have time, Luo Yong will also discuss the current political situation with Uncle Bai and others.

Before going to Changle County last time, Luo Yong told the Bai family that they would not rush to take the team, and neither should the crown prince Li Chengqian nor the King of Wei Li Tai. The words were said obscure at that time. This time, Luo Yong came back and said it to them.

"......Since the saint killed the saint, the relationship between his father and son has become increasingly distant." When talking about the incident of Prince Li Chengqian, Bai Weng couldn't help but sigh.

In his opinion, the elders and the young are orderly, and the legitimate and illegitimate are different. This is not only to maintain the orthodox dynasty, but also to maintain the orthodox dynasty, and to ensure that the kings do not fight for the throne. The next king of the Tang Dynasty should be the crown prince Li Chengqian. Although King Li Tai of Wei was favored, he was not the eldest son after all.

However, the prince has become more and more rebellious in recent years, weak and sickly, and has leg problems. He is young and energetic and has a bad mentality, but he is in this vortex of power... It seems that as Luo Yong said, he is in a position as the prince.

Nowadays, many officials in the court have already taken sides, namely Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

If it turns out to be as Luo Yong said, Li Zhi finally ascended the throne, then these families that have already stood in the team will be useless. Regardless of the relationship between father and son, from the perspective of the court dispute alone, Li Shimin is undoubtedly the biggest winner of this political struggle.

Think about it recently because the gap between the prince and the saint has deepened, many people have bet on King Li Tai of Wei. Who would have thought that this was a pitfall?

In this undercurrent power struggle, no one dares to take it lightly, whether it is a gentry like the Bai family or a grassroots like Luo Yong. If one step is wrong, the consequences may be that it will be endless.

"If it weren't for Saburo's previous words, my family's situation wouldn't be better at this time." Bai Dalang sighed.

According to the previous meaning of Bai Weng and Bai Dalang, they both planned to support Prince Li Chengqian. Although there is definitely a risk in this situation, if they are reluctant to take the team, they may not even be able to drink the soup in the end. As the saying goes, if you don’t go to the other party, how can you win back the chips? If you continue to do so, the family will decline.

"In Sanlang's opinion, how should we do now?" After this incident, Bai Weng looked up to Luo Yong much more. As an old official, he even asked Luo Yong's opinion at this time.

"I really don't understand the matter in the court." Luo Yong also knew himself. When it comes to power and strategy, he was still far from it: "It's just that since the King of Jin won because of inaction, you and I shouldn't be involved in the struggle at this time."

"Sanlang's words are reasonable." Bai Weng agreed: "Because of your words, I often paid attention to the King of Jin. Looking closely, I felt that Sanlang's words were reasonable."

The more Bai Weng and the others looked at Li Zhi, the more they felt that he was the same piece of material as emperor.

In fact, Li Zhi is indeed very reliable. When he was in power, it was the period when the Tang Dynasty was the largest. The Western Turks were dropped in his hands, including Baekje and Goguryeo.

Not to mention the Turkic Empire, the old enemy of the Central Plains dynasty, just talk about Goguryeo, how difficult it is to fight that place, Yang Guang knew, and Li Shimin knew it.

At that time, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was very happy and did not spare the people's efforts. In the end, it was because of the three conquests of Goguryeo that he lost the throne of a good emperor.

Li Shimin also fought Goguryeo, but failed to fight. He went there with confidence, and then came back in shame.

Although Li Zhi's achievements were indeed achieved based on the establishment of his predecessors, it has to be said that he was still a very capable emperor.

Just because behind him was a female emperor Wu Zetian, Li Zhi was not highly praised in the later patriarchal society.

Luo Yong discusses the government affairs with the Bai family, and often both sides can benefit.

The Bai family has been in the court for many years and knows many details. They are basically familiar with the routines in the court. Luo Yong knows a little history, and his thinking is very open, which is a bit different from the people of this era. He can often give the Bai family some inspiration.

On the morning of that day, Luo Yong took Si Niang and the others to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, and taught people to make tofu. Unexpectedly, he met Guo An.

Luo Yong hasn't seen Guo An for a long time. When he was making tofu and selling fermented bean curd in Xipo Village, Guo An used his own beans to exchange for fermented bean curd several times. Later, he went to them with a few young men from Chang'an City to buy Yan'erfei. Later, he had very little contact. After Luo Yong became an official in Chang'an City, he met Guo An several times, but he just said hello and said a few words, and did not have much contact.

This time when I met Guo An, Luo Yong was quite enthusiastic. He asked him about the situation of this family, the situation of the Guo family, and said he wanted to invite him to a meal. Guo An also readily agreed.

Then, naturally, Luo Yong introduced Guo An to the Bai family. What Guo An wanted was probably the same as this. Luo Yong didn't believe that this encounter was accidental.

But it’s not accidental that it’s nothing important. Guo An wants to develop his own family, and Luo Yong wants to develop his own power. The two hit it off.

After all, they are all from Hedong. People in this era have a strong sense of regionality, and most people from Hedong are more protective of Luo Yong.

Although the Guo family in the Taiyuan City is not a prominent family in the eyes of the geniuses of Chang'an City, the image and reputation seem to be quite good, and Bai Weng and others are more acceptable to Guo An.

Luo Yong sat with Guo An and the Bai family. As the few of them talked, they talked about the needle shop in Changle County. Guo An praised the excellent quality of the needles produced in Changle County.

Luo Yong said, "Although the needle is good, the local area of ​​Changle County cannot produce iron. I have to buy iron from other places from thousands of miles away. Merchants in the Central Plains want to buy needles, and then they have to travel thousands of miles to the border area of ​​Changle County."

Guo An said, "Since Changle County has such inconveniences, why don't Sanlang ask your disciples to open a needle shop elsewhere?"

"So how dare?" Luo Yong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "These children in my family are well placed in Chang'an City, and people are attacking in the middle of the night. My disciples are all rough people, neither strategy nor martial arts, and no family support, so how dare they open a needle shop in unfamiliar places."

"If Sanlang doesn't dislike it, he will ask them to go back to Hedong and open a needle shop in our Taiyuan Prefecture. In the Taiyuan realm, our Guo family can still speak." Guo An said so.

The Bai family are all human beings. Both of them said that they were of this level, and there was nothing they didn’t understand, so they all said that this idea was very good:

"Hedong can produce iron the most. If the needle shop is located in Hedong, there is Fen River southward and cement road, it will be very convenient for merchants to travel. If the people in Chang'an want to buy needles in the future, it will be much more convenient."

"So, when I go back to Changle County later, I will arrange a few disciples to go to Taiyuan Prefecture." Luo Yong bowed to Guo An with a smile.
