In the 21st century, Lingnan has also developed very well. In the four first-tier cities in the country, Lingnan occupies two.

However, at this time in the early Tang Dynasty, Lingnan was not a good place. The Tang government set up Lingnan Road south of the Qinling Mountains. Its geographical scope includes Fujian Province in later generations, Guangdong Province, most parts of Guangxi, southeastern Yunnan, and northern Vietnam.

The capital of Lingnan Road is located in Guangzhou, and later it was Guangzhou City. At that time, Guangzhou was a state name. The capital was also known as Guangzhou. Guangzhou is a famous port city. Many foreigners come here by sea.

At this time, the shipping was still relatively backward, so most of these Hu merchants sailed along the coastline. The Tang government allowed these Hu merchants to live in Guangzhou and even set up special fan shops.

However, the place where the imperial court was exiled as a political prisoner was a prosperous place like Guangzhou? It is already relatively good. If it is moved to Hepu, Rinan, and Jiuzhen, there is no place to cry.

The reason why the court exiled these people was, first, to punish criminals, and second, naturally, to make these people shine and heat for the rest of their lives, and to go to places with poor living conditions to develop.

The places in Yazhou, Fengzhou have been famous places of exile since ancient times. Many predecessors have laid a relatively good foundation there, so the living conditions are relatively good.

However, even so, Li Deyu, an official from the late Tang Dynasty who was demoted to Yazhou, wrote such a sad poem: "A thousand miles away, thousands of miles away, thousands of miles away, where is Yazhou, and you will survive the gates of hell."

In this desolate and backward era, human beings are still very small and powerless when standing in front of nature.

At this time, people often had to fill it with countless lives if they wanted to develop a barren land. Including Luo Yong, the Hexi Corridor where they are now, was one of the most important exile sites at that time in the Han Dynasty.

Among these exiled people, many of the prisoners may have committed crimes because of their crimes, but there are definitely Kendo people who are implicated by their relatives like Du Gou, or have other methods of contingency.

In ancient times, the system of continuous seating was very terrible. In the most cruel period, even neighbors would be subjected to continuous seating.

At this time, the government orders were relatively lenient at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, the people should have been allowed to rest.

The emperor Li Shimin also valued his reputation. Because of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he was shackled throughout his life and always wanted to show his kindness and generous side. He put a lot of effort into these things.

The day when the officials and soldiers of the court went to Du Gou's house in Laizhou to get people, the people of Laizhou were excited, and the local righteous men were in a stalemate with these officers and soldiers, but they refused to let them capture Du Gou.

Even the local government had a vague sense of protection, but they just kept appeaseing the officers and soldiers who came to get people, so that they would not be anxious, so as not to cause public anger. At that time, no one would be able to bear it.

During the stalemate between the two sides, Du Gou finally said: "I have never seen any storm in the past few years. What's so scary about Lingnan? Just go there."

He did not want to implicate the local people. If he was in a bad year and during the war, he would not have many worries. But the world is peaceful and the lives of the local people will be better and better. At such a good time, if it was for him and to implicate so many people, it would be really not worth it.

Soon, the officers and soldiers rushed Du Gou to the Lingnan. Behind them, seven or eight heroes followed closely. Yan wanted to follow them to Lingnan, and the family's affairs were arranged. If they could not go back this time, the wife, children, and the elderly at home would be helped by the villagers to take care of them.

The local elders also prepared a lot of money with them. Du Gou had some money, and with the local people, he did not lack money to spend along the way. He ate well and lived well. He also had those righteous men to protect him. The officers and soldiers did not dare to bully him very much. They invited them to drink from time to time. When the relationship eased, their lives would be better.

"You said you guys are leaving a good life, but what are you going to Lingnan for? "On that day, the group was sitting on the boat for a drink, and a soldier said to the young and strong people in Laizhou during the meal.

"We Du Langjun is wronged. Now that the saint asks him to go to Lingnan, my brothers will send him to Lingnan. The saint will be kind to him in the future. We will escort him back to Laizhou." A young and powerful man who is twenty-six or seven years old and has a very smart appearance said.

Du Gou has been in Laizhou for many years and has several capable people under his command, and this person is one of them.

"It's hard." An older officer and soldier shook his head when he heard what he said: "This time, this incident is different from usual. Even the Du family dares to plead for mercy. Who can we expect now?"

"Even the deposed prince was exiled to Lingnan." A younger officer and soldier lowered his voice: "The emperor's own son is still suffering there. At that critical moment, he would be willing to let others come back? Tsk, if it were the case, I would definitely not."

The young and brave Laizhou was silent for a while and said, "Have you heard of Li Shi Luo Sanlang?"

Du Gou used to be unfavorable and did not like socializing and had no close friends in Chang'an City. There were some old friends in Luoyang City. The relationship has been pretty good in recent years. Unfortunately, they are not able to use this matter now.

The Du family chose to remain silent. The only thing Du Gou could expect this time was probably the relationship between him and Luo Yong. But after hearing what Du Langjun said, their friendship did not seem to be very deep.

"What, your husband still has a friendship with Li Shi Luo Sanlang?" Li Shi Luo Sanlang is not simple, someone who can even touch the royal relatives.

"Natural." The young man from Laizhou said with confidence: "Or why do you think my husband knew how to plant dungeon trees so early and also knew how to make canned fish? It was the legend of Sanlang!"

"Oh... If Li Shi Luosanlang comes forward, your husband will not have any room for improvement."

"It's just that the land in Hexi is too far away. I wonder if he has heard of this now."

“…”

The young men in Laizhou saw the officers and soldiers in front of him talking, and seemed to believe what he had said just now, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If he is also a smart and talented person, why did he have to follow Du Gou to Lingnan? In the final analysis, it is this era that forces him to do this.

Earlier, when they were sailing on the canal, they could give them some face as long as they claimed Du Gou's name, black and white, because of the power of these people under Du Gou, and because of Du Gou's gentry.

At this time, Du Gou was exiled to Lingnan, and the forces of all sizes and big on the canal had already received news. If the people of Laizhou transported their own goods in the future, the attitudes of those people will inevitably be different from the original ones. I don’t know what will happen to the future canned fish.

This is the case in this era. As long as you are born as a gentry, you will be looked up to by others.

If these people of low-born backgrounds want to make a name for themselves one day, they can only follow the gentry and men.

Du Gou was generous and talented. Although he was not close to his family, Jingzhao Du, he was quite close to the Li Shi Luo family. Li Shi Luo Sanlang was an extraordinary person.

The reason why smart people like him follow Du Gou to the death is, on the one hand, because of kindness and morality, and on the other hand, they naturally hope to make a future for themselves.

These people sat outside the cabin to eat and talk, and Du Gou lie in the cabin for a nap, but he didn't fall asleep. The conversation between the people outside the cabin didn't fall into his ears.

Since he left Xipo Village, he hasn't seen Luo Yong for many years and hasn't contacted him much. How dare he ask him to rescue him now? After all, this is a case of treason...

Du Gou turned over and sighed slowly.

His younger brother Du He intends to rebel this time, and his uncle Du Chuke has also been very involved in this. The uncle and nephew have even stood in two camps. In the end, none of them succeeded. One was beheaded and the other was demoted to a commoner. He was exiled to Lingnan because of this.

I wonder what his father felt when he saw the scene in the sky.

...

Let’s talk about Chang’an City, since the last rebellion case, both the princelings and the Wei Wang Party have lost power.

Regarding the new crown prince Li Zhi, Li Shimin neither wanted him to be too powerful, and formed a small court under his nose, nor did he want him to be too weak, and he would be ridden by those old and powerful ministers after ascending the throne in the future.

So naturally, those neutral and conservative officials were trusted by the emperor after this reshuffle, including the father and son of the Bai family.

On this day, the emperor found several ministers to discuss matters, and Mr. Bai was also among them. After talking about the main work, everyone talked about the sweet potatoes in the field. They all said that the sweet potato vines were very vigorous and that there would definitely be a good harvest in autumn.

Bai Weng said to the emperor at this time: "Apu was sold to the Central Plains by humans and saved by Na Luoyong. Later, he took Luoyong as his teacher. They were masters and disciples. Can the saints know?"

"I know." The emperor glanced at Bai Weng, not knowing what he was going to say later.

"Earlier, Aputu always had a Le County, Luo Yong asked him to bring a letter to me. In the letter, in addition to asking about his younger siblings, he also mentioned Duke Cai's eldest son Duke Duke, saying that he had some friendship with Du Gou..." Bai Weng said.

"So what?" The emperor interrupted without waiting for him to finish his words.

Bai Weng said: "Du Gou injured his leg when he fought against the Japanese in his early years. In recent years, he has taught local people to make canned fish in Laizhou to benefit the people of Laizhou. It can be regarded as devoting his efforts to the country and the people..."

Bai Weng's words were reasonable, but the emperor did not like to listen to them, and he didn't care what Bai Weng had to say later, so he immediately threw his sleeves and left.

His own son still doesn't know where to suffer, and he doesn't know how many days he can live in the smoky land of Lingnan. Now these ministers ask him to forgive others' sins and save him from the suffering of exile!

The emperor left, and the ministers were left looking at each other. After waiting for a while, they saw that the emperor had no intention of coming back, so they all dispersed.

On the morning court the next day, someone mentioned this matter. At the beginning, some people were angrily criticizing Luo for not distinguishing between public and private affairs, but actually ignored the rules because of his personal friendship.

However, what is unexpected is that there are quite a few people standing on Luo Yong's side this time. Some people say that the coffin board was born in a humble origin and had not read a book for a few days. He said a word and was full of loopholes. He was trampled on by you people in the pain and just talking about the matter. Then Du Gou was exiled this time, which was indeed quite unfair.

So the two sides started arguing. Earlier, because the new grain planting had just been enjoying it for two days, they started to pinch it again.

This time, some people who stood on Luo Yong's side had a friendship with Du Ruhui in the past. This time they wanted to protect Du Gou, and some people who had a good impression of Luo Yong. They always stood on Luo Yong's side. Some people also had some people. Why did they stand on Luo Yong's side this time? Even the old emperor on the dragon bed was a little confused at this time.

The civil and military officials in the court were clamoring. These people probably saw that the storm of the rebellion was almost over and there was a new crop. The emperor should not kill anyone at this time, so they all became bolder.

Indeed, Li Shimin had no intention of expanding the influence of the treason six months ago at this time. However, he didn't want to pardon Du Gou's crime. For Du Ruhui's sake, he had already pardoned Du Chuke, and this time he wanted to pardon Du Gou. This time, he had committed a crime. If the attack was not cruel enough, then the little kids in the families of these powerful and important officials would not be able to rebel against the sky in the future.

Regarding Du Gou's affairs, the court has been fighting for the past few days but has no result, and the emperor refused to express his opinion.
