"Guozhong, do you think Chen Lang is also eating hot pot, drinking wine, and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the lights of thousands of houses at this time?"

Upstairs of Huayan, Li Longji put down the ivory chopsticks in his hand, looked at Yang Guozhong, who was now more serious, and asked with a smile.

"Chen Lang has always enjoyed it very much. Now that he has arrived in Wuwei City, I think he will not treat him badly."

Yang Guozhong, who was sitting under Li Longji's right hand, stopped the cup and replied that he was now very stern, but he no longer had the habit of rogues that were criticized by people at the time. Even the title of Yang Xianggong was well-known.

"It's a pity that it's snowing and cold now, and Thirteenth Lady has just given birth again. I just want to see Chen Lang, and I'm afraid I'll have to wait until next year."

Li Longji said with regret that the novel ways to play in Chang'an City are now created by Chen Lang, but it made him feel very comfortable in the past six months.

"Your Majesty, now that the four towns are crowded with heavy troops in Hexi, the national war is approaching. Even if Chen Lang can come back, your Majesty should let Chen Lang stay under the chief lieutenant to listen to it."

Yang Guozhong believed that he had a life-long friendship with Shen Guang, so he naturally did not want Chen Guang to be summoned by the saint to return to the court at this critical moment. Although the contribution of pacifying Xiao Bolu and killing Zhulongmang Buzhi was quite good, the saint wanted to give Chen Lang a name, but they were all blocked by officials in the court. He wanted to see if Chen Lang made a great contribution in the next national war with Tubo. If Chen Lang made great achievements, would they still be able to stop it?

"Although you have made sense, I am worried that Chen Lang has read Gao Xianzhi's memorial, but this time Shen Lang almost turned it over..."

Thinking of Gao Xianzhi's memorial, Li Longji looked scared. When Wang Zongsi left Chang'an and often led his fangs to break through the formation alone in Qinghai Lake. He was also worried that the adopted fake one would be left on the battlefield one day.

"Your Majesty is too worried. Chen Lang followed Gao's guards to expedition to Xiaobolu. The road is so dangerous that he can only select elite troops and lack soldiers. However, now that Chen Lang has returned to Hexi, the Grand Chief Manager is afraid that he will be more worried about Chen Lang's safety than His Majesty."

Yang Guozhong and Li Longji were chatting and laughing there. During the banquet downstairs of Huae Tower, many officials and nobles were full of resentment and jealousy. Who would have thought that the desolate settlement in Shu would become the prime minister of the current dynasty. Relying on the quick knife of the State Taxation Department, they scrutinized taxes and used this reason to inspect the place and eliminate dissidents, causing officials to live in poverty. Even the minor officials from poor families dared to offend them.

If Yang Guozhong is not dead, no one will live a good life!

There is also Chen Guang. I heard that the State Taxation Department’s accounting check methods were all made by him. If he was to step closer and collude with Yang Guozhong, everyone would still have a way out.

Li Longji didn't know that under the appearance of his thought that the river was clear and the sea was quiet and the treasury was full, more and more officials were dissatisfied with Yang Guozhong. No one wanted to hang the quick knife called the State Taxation Department on his head. "Taxes and death cannot be avoided." It is simply a fallacy.

Although the Tang Dynasty law also stipulated that the additional land population under the name of officials must be paid taxes, over the years, with the collapse of the military system of the government and the renting system in name only, noble officials and local tyrants annexed land and concealed the population, and never paid half of the tax. Now Yang Guozhong has forced them to pay the tax arrears, which is simply not a son of humanity.

Li Linfu, who seemed to be getting older, was silently observing the nobles and officials who looked different from Hua'e's building. He did underestimate Yang Guozhong, a dilapidated village in Shu. Who would have thought that this jester relative who had been flattering at the time had the courage to be a saint and his money bag.

In the past, Wang Hui attacked the common people and levies and taxes forced the people of Guanzhong to flee, but the entire court could hide it from the saints. However, now Yang Guozhong has made real estate companies to take action against the nobles and local officials and powerful people in the court. He checked the taxes and recovered the taxes. However, he immediately made up for the national treasury and made the saint's inner treasury pile up like mountains of copper coins and silk cloth.

In other words, the saint is old now, not as murderous as he was in his prime. He probably had already appointed cruel officials to kill the court and the country, and his heads rolled and blood flowed into a river.

Li Linfu sighed softly. The change in the dynasty in the past six months made him feel a little overwhelmed. Although Yang Guozhong offended most of the officials in the court, many of the young officials from poor families also changed to their families. Not to mention that the people's desolate houses in Shu are now very famous. Those common people have benefited, and even if they want to ruin his reputation, it will not work.

"Li Xiang."

When Li Linfu heard the call of the officials beside him, he came back to his senses. It turned out that the saint stood up to toast. He quickly stood up. Although Li Linfu has grown up very quickly for half a year, his old attitude is now pretending. He knows the saints very well today. Now that the prince has learned his lessons, he doesn't care about everything in the Eastern Palace. There is always someone in the court who has to confront Yang Guozhong.

The saint is not unaware that the officials are dissatisfied with Yang Guozhong, but the saint still thinks that he can control the situation, and he is just a chess piece to check and balance Yang Guozhong. But he doesn't care anymore. He can live a few years, and he will pretend to be an old minister who has been pitiful by the upstart in the past few years. He just hopes that the prince can forget his past grudges.

Li Linfu's ambitions have disappeared. The world is changing too fast. He can no longer see what will happen in the future. Yang Guozhong offended officials, nobles and powerful people, but the court is now full of treasury, and the situation of the people of Guanzhong fleeing has been curbed. If Wang Zhongsizhen could defeat Tubo in the next national war and regain Shibao City, I am afraid that the saints would really recreate the prosperous territory of the Tang Dynasty during the Yonghui rule.

"Tang Dynasty for ten thousand years!"

"Tang Dynasty for ten thousand years!"

Looking at the energetic saint, Li Linfu laughed in a low voice. He suddenly felt reluctant to let go of this era when he was about to end. He wanted to see how far the Tang Dynasty could reach in the hands of the ruins in Shu. Even if he was reluctant, Li Linfu had to admit that Yang Guozhong is now qualified to be the prime minister.

"Li Xiang is really not good."

Not far from Li Linfu, Ji Wen and Luo Xishi lowered their voices and talked. They are still the backbone of the Li Party and support Li Linfu's prestige. However, Yang Guozhong's general situation has been achieved. Now the saint favors him and he is in a close way to the treatment of Li Xiang when he was worshipping him.

The most important thing is that the two felt that Li Linfu was old and probably did not have the energy to fight with Yang Guozhong. In the past six months, Li Xiang had already given up several times. If Yang Guozhong had not done too much offensive, they would probably have failed the so-called Li Party. In addition, Yang Guozhong was aggressive, which made most people not have the choice. Otherwise, who would have been willing to continue to rely on Li Linfu, who was declining to the west.

"I heard that Chen Lang has arrived in Liangzhou. Brother Luo, please look at me. We might as well ask Chen Lang to talk about us. I think Yang Xiang will not care about our past small festivals..."

Ji Wen planned to jump the ship. He knew that Chen Guang and Yang Guozhong's friendship was not a simple friend, but a real political ally. Chen Lang really made great efforts to have such a powerful position.
