Chapter four hundred and seventy-two: Zhao Zhao destiny
Baifeng Tower.
This is one of the most luxurious restaurants in Chang'an recently. Before the night is over, the house is full of guests and the city is crowded.
At the top of this restaurant, the boss Zhang Yicheng has already begun to write quickly.
Baifenglou is an industry purchased by Zhulou. Almost from the bartender to the shopkeeper, they are all Shangguan Chen's confidants. Their purpose here is to find out the news.
And these days, it has been obviously very lively. Almost all the guests in this restaurant are rich or noble. Now what they are talking about is mostly the controversy in the court about the establishment of 37 towns in the world.
There were more than 300 prefectures and 1,573 counties in the Tang Dynasty, with a vast territory. Originally, the court relied on fifteen Taos to divide the prefectures and counties, but Taos were only responsible for supervision and did not have real power. But now, Wei Hongmin, Wei Anshi and others wrote letters to divide the world into 37 towns, set up a governor, and granted flags. For a moment, the court was in an uproar, some supported and some opposed, and countless remarks were naturally reflected into the wine shop.
Zhang Yicheng's responsibility is to report some news in the restaurant. As for whether it is confirmed, it is not up to him to take charge.
At this time, he had already started writing and splashed ink on the paper: "There are even more rumors that Wang Qin, the Minister of Works, strongly opposed it. Empress Wei was furious. The next day, Wang Zhen, the army of Wannian, sued the rebellion and was imprisoned today. Wang Zhen, the army of Wannian, was the second son of Wang Qin, the Minister of Works, today Wang Qin, had written a letter to sue him. Those who opposed the court suddenly changed their expressions and everyone was silent."
"In my foolish opinion, the construction of the town has come naturally. The residence of Wei King Wei Xuanzhen is now full of cities, and many powerful people in Chang'an are visiting him, as if they are willing to make money by it. Recently, it has been rumored in the building that most of the towns in Hebei are led by the Wei clan and the towns in Jiangnan are the same. There are many people who make profits in the border towns, and many of the five surnames in Guanlong are involved. Even the Cui family in Qinghe seems to have rumors that Cui Feng's son led the Fengxiang Town in Jiannan. From this, it can be seen that there are few oppositions from the surnames, but they are mostly willing to make profits by it."
After writing these, Zhang Yicheng sighed. It was obviously a carnival. The Wei family packaged the wealth of Li at one time and all used the so-called "privatization". This move was even more cruel than Wu Zetian's usurpation of the Tang Dynasty. Although Wu Zetian's usurpation of the Tang Dynasty would benefit a group of cruel officials, their interests were only for a moment, and the Wei family divided the world. In addition to maintaining a certain control ability of the court, retaining some prefectures and counties directly under the imperial court and maintaining a strong enough imperial guard, they also divided the prefectures and counties in the world into pieces. In addition to being self-developed, they were given to the rich families in the world.
Even the Qinghe Cui family, which had been excluded from the power center, had a arrangement. He was placed in Fengxiang Town in Jiannan. Although this Fengxiang Town is remote, it is located near the border town in the southwest. To some extent, the relationship is also important. Obviously, the rejected Cui Shizhong may not have jumped to object when he saw this scene.
In this world, the so-called promotion of officials and titles, and the so-called rewards of money and food have no meaning to the real wealthy families. Their farms are enough, and most of them are already at the top of the emperor. They almost marry the royal family. They want money and food, but the gift of the flag is almost a great attraction for many people.
Just like the Fengxiang Town of Cui's family, although it is a little remote, this time, it is not enough to get the benefits. However, the Cui family has a great business, hundreds of years of family business, and countless talents have accumulated. Even if it is only enfeoffed to Jiannan, it only requires support from the clan. It will not take long for Fengxiang Town to become one of the top princes in Jiannan Road.
It is precisely because of the hope that the Cui family's attitude towards this is ambiguous.
On the other hand, the Kanto clans did not get any benefit at all. This was obviously a carnival between the Wei family and some specific people. Even if there were opponents, they were mantis blocking the chariot.
Zhang Yicheng felt sad that the real master of the world, His Majesty the Emperor, actually fueled the fire in this matter. There were countless clans of Li, who beat their chests and feet. Unfortunately, after Wu Zetian usurped the Tang Dynasty, he had already made the Li clans almost vulnerable. After Li Xian ascended the throne, Wei also respected these "relatives" in public, but secretly alienated and even suppressed them. Now even if they wanted to oppose, they could not hear their voices in the court.
Zhang Yicheng was also a scholar. To some extent, he once supported the Li clan. He used to oppose Wu Zetian and later opposed Wei. In his opinion, the root of all the disasters in front of him came from those women and relatives who were in trouble. However, for the sake of his livelihood, he had no choice but to enter Zhulou and serve Shangguan Chen.
Now, after he wrote down his experiences in Luoyang, his heart was just desolate.
In the past, I always thought that the source of all chaos was a woman, but now it seems that the one who really makes people feel heartbroken is His Majesty.
He carefully stuffed the report into the bamboo tube, hid it in his sleeve, and went downstairs with a smile. There was a elegant seat downstairs. The guests were having a drink and enjoying the dishes, listening to the sings and singing, and were having a lot of fun. Some drunk people shouted: "The Tang Dynasty is over, it is over... The emperor is blinded by the traitor..." The person next to him covered his mouth and said sternly: "Brother Zhou is drunk, don't talk nonsense, be careful of words, be careful of words."
A loud laughter came from another elegant room: "It is very likely that the Duke of Yan State Heichi Changzhi was guarding the capital, General Heichichi and me...haha..."
Another person said: "It is said that Henan Prefecture wants to set up Shence Town, and the Prince Hongnong also wants to be the governor of Shence, and he also wants to give him a flag? Isn't this? Luoyang is no longer the Eastern Capital."
"I'm afraid this is the empress who has a deep meaning. Dongdu... Dongdu... Even if the emperor is not there, it will be the capital. There is still a emperor in the capital. If the 'hu' is gone, the emperor..."
"Qin Shaoyou will definitely refuse."
"So what if you don't want to? Now it's the general trend. It's about to come to an end. What can his Luoyang do?"
Zhang Yicheng couldn't help but stop and frowned. He was particularly disgusted with these things. Suddenly, he suddenly realized that he had always regarded himself as a citizen and a minister of the Tang Dynasty. But in the future, he would be really the people under the rule of Tiance Town. From then on, will he really serve the Qin Governor from the beginning, whether in his actions or in his heart?
