Chapter 1009: A new generation replaces the old

It was another winter, and the emperor went to Huaqing Palace in Mount Li. Among the ministers who were able to accompany him, there were a few more fresh faces who were just lucky. The doctor of the Ministry of Revenue was appreciated by the emperor because of his financial plan, so he was appointed as the chief censor of the censor and the interview envoy of the capital. Yang Shenjin, who had previously been a cashier of the Taifu, was also the chief censor of the censor and the coin minting envoy. Both of them started with the financial plan and followed Li Linfu, so they were in the limelight. However, neither they nor Li Linfu were comparable to the Yang family who suddenly rose up.

After Wen Jun's new widow, Yang Yuyao, who replaced her sister as the female crowned by Taizhen Temple, was awarded the title of Shuyi, the second-rank rank in the middle of this year. According to Yang Yuyao's ambition, she naturally wanted to be granted the title of concubine, but she was once a widow. In the early years of Li Longji ascended the throne, the four concubines Guishu Dexian were changed to Concubine Hui, Concubine Li and Concubine Hua, and successively conferred Concubine Wu Hui, Concubine Zhao Li and Concubine Liu Hua. However, she did not want to use the same title as others, so she endured it.

Compared to Yu Nu's proficiency in music, she was smart, charming, charming, and attractive, and quickly captured the heart of the emperor. Under her pillow wind, the Yang family members naturally ascended to heaven, and the two sisters were ladies one by one, and the men were all appointed as beautiful officials. Even Yang Zhao, who was previously appointed as the governor of Zhang Qiu and Qiong Men, ordered the powerful to go to Beijing to hand over the powerful, was able to become familiar with the emperor because of his proficiency in Shu.

There are people in the harem who are good at being an official. It is precisely because Zhang Qiu Jianqiong is a supporter that Xian Yu Zhongtong has repeatedly given me generous gifts. Although Yang Zhao had a long relationship with Yang Yuyao, he still relied on the gold, silver and wealth to consolidate his relationship with the Yang family. After accompanying Chu Pu in the Hot Spring Palace that day, he successfully achieved the emperor's promise to save the doctor and was immediately overjoyed.

He had done all kinds of work in Shu, and many government officials had been together, but he was still unable to make a comeback. After the Yang family had a Princess of Shou, he had also made up his mind to go to Beijing to join him, but in a blink of an eye, he saw those dazzling changes. Even the Princess of Shou became a female Taoist priest, and then died young, so he did not dare to act rashly. If it weren't for Xian Yu Zhongtong's recommendation to Zhang Qiu Jianqiong, he would have been unable to make up his mind to come to Chang'an. It was this trip that he finally seized a long-lost opportunity.

After a moment of being stunned in front of the Hot Spring Palace, Yang Zhao suddenly saw a group of carriages coming towards him. Seeing that he was escorting the North Gate Imperial Guard, he quickly made way beside him. When he was over, he saw that the curtains of the car saw red fragrance and green jade, which were clearly women, and he couldn't help but be surprised. After thinking about it, he called the last soldier and asked, but the answer he got made his heart slightly sank.

"That's Meiren Zhang, Meiren Xie, and several talented people. They are ordered by His Majesty to accompany the Hot Spring Palace."

Yang Zhao has heard of these so-called concubines in the harem countless times from Yang Yuyao, and knows that these are the servants around Yu Nu, with a humble and low status. After many years, he has no idea that the girl who looked like a powder dumpling back then has disappeared. What's more, now that people are no longer there, the remaining servants still share Yang Yuyao's favor. However, according to Yang Yuyao's words, it would be easy to deal with if they were just alone, and these servants were vaguely united, and no differentiation and win-win strategy could be used, and she could do nothing. However, she did not expect that this time, there was no part of them when we came to the Hot Spring Palace, but who could know that the emperor actually ordered someone to summon them.

After staring at the back of the group for a long time, Yang Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief and left such a thing behind his head. It is said that these women were all bought slaves, who served Yu Slave for many years and had no family. It can be said that they couldn't start from outside the palace. They didn't have much contact with Princess Yuzhen and others in recent years. It only takes Yang Yuyao to be able to control the situation in the palace. Now the most important thing is to finalize his official position, and the emperor's words alone do not make up for this. He has to go to see the right prime minister Li Linfu first.

As the right prime minister, Li Linfu was given a separate soup spring in the hot spring palace, which was a unique treatment. Even the left prime minister Li Shizhi only shared a soup spring with several other high-ranking officials. Over the years, his accumulated power was even more powerful than before. However, no matter how high or low the people he had to deal with, he was almost invincible. Therefore, although he was already sixty-five years old, the pressure did not decline but increased. For Yang Zhao, who was struggling to survive not long ago, he could only stand in front of Li Linfu and feel that a sense of awe that was stronger than in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty is a wise and innocent person. If you want to be the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, no one dares to take it seriously." Li Linfu's tone was gentle, but his eyes were sharp. "But, although Wang is not the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he is the real person in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. Let's do this, I'll say hello to him and ask him to be the judge. In this way, others can't argue."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you." Yang Zhao didn't expect Li Linfu to be so easy to speak, and immediately claimed thanks, but the three words "just" that followed made him suddenly feel heart hang up.

"But, since you, the judge of Jiannandao Jiedu, first joined the army for the Jinwu Army, and then suddenly moved to the Duzhi Doctor. You have been promoted a little too fast. Although you are Shuyi's family, if you have not made any contributions, your future rise will be limited, don't you?"

Li Linfu was as kind as an old man next door, but Yang Zhao became more and more awe-inspiring to Dabin: "The Prime Minister said it very well. If there is anything I can do, I will die."

Li Linfu was not surprised by Yang Zhao's trembling attitude. In fact, there were more people in front of him. Therefore, he just smiled and said, "In order to seize the Shibao City, Huangfu Weiming, the governor of Longyou, had just fought with Tubo again, but he was defeated and even the deputy general was dead. For this reason, he went to Chang'an to offer victory this time, and in fact he wanted to excuse the defeat. Longyou military expenditure is one of the best among these towns. Since you are about to become a doctor, you should also pay attention."

Although what Li Linfu said was only military expenses, Yang Zhao would not really think so. After he agreed repeatedly and lingered for a moment, he already knew in his heart that the person Li Linfu was going to deal with was Huangfu Weiming. However, even though Huangfu Weiming had risen and was quite favored over the years, he was just a foreign minister, not a direct seal like Du Shiyi. Is Li Linfu still worried that he would come back to compete for the position of prime minister? Or did Li Linfu have other meanings?

Yang Zhao was originally a person with a keen heart. He couldn't figure it out for a moment but was not discouraged. When he got back to his residence, he was still trying hard to figure out the joints, so that he almost ran into the person head-on. When he staggered back a few steps and finally stabilized his body, he heard a whispering sound in front of him, he found that an ugly middle-aged eunuch in front of him, and then he was stunned and remembered who this was. If it were other eunuchs working in the palace, he would definitely treat him well, but the other party was a person from the Eastern Palace. He could not give any good voice from Yang Yuyao or Li Linfu's standpoint.

Therefore, Yang Zhao immediately shouted angrily: "Be careful when walking in the future, fortunately, it hit me. It would be bad if I hit someone who is noble."

A mere Jinwu army officer Cao dared to be so arrogant in front of the middle-aged official. The middle-aged eunuch was angry. However, he just apologized for his reverence. After Yang Zhao left, he showed a hatred expression and then sighed dejectedly.

Li Jingzhong is now in his forties, but he still accomplished nothing. He was transferred to Li Heng, who was still the King of Zhong, by the order of Concubine Wu Hui. However, he did not expect that Concubine Wu Hui died soon. It was not King Shou Li Mao who entered the East Palace, but Li Heng, who had also been fortunate that he had followed the right master by mistake. Li Heng was not good to him. The Crown Princess's family, Wei, was also a little bit of Wei Jian and He. But since Wei Jian became the Minister of Justice, he vaguely felt that Wei seemed to be on a downward path, and even the people in and outside the palace had a little wrong attitude towards the East Palace.

Li Heng also came to Huaqing Palace this time. As the prince, he naturally got a soup spring, but his position was not as good as the court officials favored by the emperor, but was a bit remote. He had always been low-key and only brought Concubine Wei, a few palace maids and eunuchs. Therefore, after Li Jingzhong came back, he hurried over to ask where Prince Ming was. After the ceremony, he lowered his voice and said, "Mr., Your Majesty summoned Zhang Meiren and the others to Huaqing Palace, and I heard that he had given a soup spring near the lotus soup. I met Yang Zhao on the way, and he was very rude."

Li Jingzhong said in his early years that he was here to serve him at the order of Concubine Wu Hui, and Li Heng still trusted him. At this moment, when he heard this news, he was soaked in the soup spring, and then said, "The Yang family is now proud, don't mess with them. As for those beauties that the grandfather favors, don't bet casually. I can't get involved in these things in the harem."

Seeing Li Jingzhong agreeing, he asked: "Who are there any military governors in various towns who will enter Beijing this first month?"

"The Longyou Jiedushi Huangfu Weiming is determined to come, including Du Shiyi, the governor of Shuofang and the capital of Anbei, and Wang Zhongsi, the governor of Hedong. It should be these three. As for the governor of Fanyang and the governor of Pinglu Jiedushi, it is said that he would send his brother Ashina to come earlier." Speaking of this, Li Jingzhong paused, observed Li Heng's face, and then said softly, "The Anbeiya tent has been completed, and Du Shiyi should be reporting this to Your Majesty."

Li Heng had no good feelings for An Lushan, who was a big belly, and Huangfu Weiming had served as the king's friend, who was his official in the palace. The two had old friends. But his relationship with Du Shiyi was even more complicated. He kept silent over the years, but some things were very clear. Li Ying could not escape the fate of being deposed, but he temporarily delayed the process because of Du Shiyi's words. Such a governor who could turn the overall situation righteously at a critical moment and hold great power, had been trying his best to fight for it, but he couldn't succeed every time. As for Wang Zhongsi, what he regretted the most now was that when Wang Zhongsi was raised in the palace, he did not interact with others, but at that time he didn't know that he would become the crown prince, and he didn't know that Wang Zhongsi would become a very prominent general among the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking of this, he took a breath and said word by word: "You go to see Wei Jian and ask him to arrange it. I want to meet him alone outside the palace. Then, whether it is Huangfu Weiming, Du Shiyi, or Wang Zhongsi, he will try to arrange it himself to see if he can meet and understand the benefits and interests."
