    Li Rupei did not see Ma Fu sent by Yang Fugong, but the letter Ma Fu brought came into his hands.  ```` When he read the letter, a sneer appeared on Li Rupei's face. He was completely eunuch. It is not suitable and impossible at the moment. There are tens of thousands of eunuchs. They also have families and they also need it.  To survive, eunuchs must serve in the palace. This is also a rule. Li Rupei can ensure that there are not many women around him, but he cannot guarantee his descendants. Even if they can educate Li Chengbo, or even Li Chengbo's son, he is not that long.  Life span, what to do after three generations, so if you say you can¡¯t do something, don¡¯t do it.  However, as long as Li Rupei enters the capital, the power of the eunuchs will suffer a devastating blow. It is impossible for eunuchs to get involved in such positions as lieutenant of the Shence Army, Central Guards Army, and Privy Council. It is even more wishful thinking to control military and political power. Eunuchs are absolutely  Those who cannot interfere in politics will be killed without mercy. Eunuchs rely on the authority of the emperor to kill the common people without mercy.  After reading Yang Fugong¡¯s letter, Li Rupei took up his pen and wrote four words at the end of the letter: Take care of yourself.  He was unwilling to say more words, believing that Yang Fugong should understand everything after seeing these four words.  As for the many situations in Chang'an, the capital, and Luoyang, the eastern capital, Li Rupei didn't want to know too much. According to their current strength, it would be easy to win the capital and the eastern capital, but he didn't want to do it so quickly. After all, they had just won them.  Tibet and Longyou Road still need time to sort out these places.  After Yang Fugong saw the four words written by Li Rupei, his face turned pale and his body trembled.  However, not long after, Yang Fugong showed a ferocious expression. Now that Li Rupei's attitude was clear, his attitude was equally clear.  Nothing amazing.  Daxingtaifu, Nanfang Road.  Li Rupei stood in the middle of the room, with Cui Anqian and Zheng Congchen facing him.  "Your Majesty, my subordinates believe that the time has come to advance northward. Your Majesty has already replied to Yang Fugong. I think Yang Fugong must be living like a year at this moment. My subordinates believe that Yang Fugong will not sit still and wait for death. If Yang Fugong makes any crazy move, it will be too late to regret it.  Exactly. I think the prince can no longer hesitate." After Zheng Congchan finished speaking, Cui Anqian spoke.  "I agree with Deputy Commissioner Zheng's suggestion. Your Majesty can no longer hesitate. The trade taxes in the south have increased significantly. Not counting Longyou Road and Tibet Road, the trade taxes in other places account for more than 70% of the total taxes. The imperial court  In the past, agricultural taxes were the mainstay, supplemented by salt and iron taxes. In other words, the tax revenue of Daxingtai Prefecture on the Southern Road was more than four times that of before, and the amount of taxes was still increasing, especially in Longyou.  After the passage, the overseas trade on land has shown a prosperous situation. In a short time, the taxes on overseas trade will increase significantly. "The total number of officials in the Iron Blood Army is 200,000.  The total number of people does not exceed 20,000. These more than 200,000 people do not consume much tax. As for the money invested in road and ditch repairs, it can be maintained. More importantly, the people are generally richer than before. Lingnan  Dao and Qianzhong Road basically do not need money and food from the Daxingtai government this year. " "After several years of training, the Iron-Blooded Army will definitely be able to achieve a complete victory when it attacks the north. General Gao Da and General Zhu have returned with the Iron-Blooded Army soldiers, and they have already demonstrated the Iron-Blooded Army.  The invincible spirit in the world should be attacking the north at this moment. "The two of them were very eager. They also fully agreed with Li Rupei's step-by-step approach, but it also depends on what situation the trapped beast is still fighting.  Yang Fugong is very likely to cause extraordinary troubles in the capital. When that happens, the world of Datang will be damaged.  No matter how prosperous Xiangyang is, Cui Anqian and Zheng Congdan still identify with the capital Chang'an in their hearts. I am afraid that all the officials in Daxingtai Prefecture of Nanfang Road, including many Jiedu envoys, governors and county magistrates, identify with the capital Chang'an. There is no way  The facts have changed. Only when Li Rupei entered the capital could he truly be recognized by officials and people all over the world.  Li Rupei did not speak for the time being. In fact, he had already thought of this problem.  The meaning of Yang Fugong's letter is very clear, that is, he hopes to maintain his status as an eunuch, that is, to ensure the ancestral system and not make any changes. Then Yang Fugong can support His Royal Highness Prince Fu on the throne. Li Rupei will never agree to this.  Once he temporarily agrees to Yang Fugong's request, Yang Fugong will definitely publicize it for his own rights and interests. This will be extremely detrimental to his rectification of the eunuchs. After becoming the emperor, he must pay more attention to his own words and deeds.  , Only in this way can the civil and military ministers truly surrender.  Yang Fugong¡¯s hopes were dashed, and there would definitely be unusual or even crazy measures.    Li Rupei is a time traveler, and of course he knows the methods of Yang Fugong and his like. Perhaps in desperation, Yang Fugong will kidnap the emperor and enter the north, use the emperor as a bargaining chip to get the support of the northern vassal towns, and use the emperor to benefit the princes. All  All the vassal towns knew that in order to gain greater power, those northern vassal towns that were eyeing him would not refuse Yang Fugong's request.  If this really happens, then Li Rupei who enters the capital will face the burden of usurping the throne. Don't underestimate this burden, it may leave a very disgraceful mark in history.  As a time traveler, Li Rupei has strict requirements for himself. He must do his best or not do it.  Cui Anqian and Zheng Congchen looked at Li Rupei with anxious expressions.  A quarter of an hour passed. It was a long quarter of an hour. No one continued to speak. Cui Anqian and Zheng Congchan's meanings were very clear and no further explanation was needed. What they were waiting for was Li Rupei's decision.  Li Rupei finally spoke.  "I understand what you mean. Tomorrow at midnight, we will summon General Gao Chibang, General Huang Biao, Song Hu, Zhao Laibao, Zhu Wen, Qian Miu, Yang Xingmi, Cui Yanchong, Lu Sheng'an, Shannan East Road Governor Ma Haoxuan, and others.  Liu Yunzhang, the governor of Shannan West Road, Cui Shenyou, the governor of Lingnan Province, who had not yet left Xiangyang, as well as Zheng Yunmo, minister of household affairs of Daxingtai Prefecture, Lu Guangqi, minister of military affairs, Zheng Yanchang, doctor of household affairs, and Wang Shenzhi, minister of military affairs, were all in Daxingtai.  Gather in Xingtai Mansion." After saying these words, Li Rupei turned around and left Daxingtai Mansion, leaving Cui Anqian and Zheng Congchen behind.  Watching Li Rupei leave, Cui Anqian shed tears in his eyes.  Cui Anqian is not young anymore, and many years of hard work often make him feel tired, but he still grits his teeth and persists in order to see Li Rupei enter the capital with his own eyes. If he cannot see this ending, Cui Anqian will not rest in peace. Now this goal is finally coming  When it was reached, Li Rupei summoned so many people and gathered them in Daxingtai Mansion, focusing on officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War, as well as the generals of the Iron-Blooded Army. There was no need to further explain what was going on.  Zheng Congchen looked at Cui Anqian without saying anything, and he felt even more emotion in his heart.  A few days ago, Li Rupei talked specifically about eunuchs, and he revealed a strong sense of worry between the lines. On the surface, he was talking about eunuchs, but in fact, he was accusing some emperors of being stupid, not wanting to make progress, or being indulged in pleasure, or being proud and complacent.  , leading to the decline of the Tang Dynasty. If you think about it carefully, what Li Rupei said is completely correct. The decline of any dynasty is directly related to the emperor. The emperor has a clear mind, can be self-disciplined, can listen to the opinions and suggestions below, and can understand the sufferings of the people.  , if you can follow the advice, this dynasty must be extremely powerful, on the contrary, this dynasty will definitely decline.  It is not easy for Li Rupei to recognize the shortcomings of his ancestors and boldly point them out. Zheng Congchen did not need to think too much to know that once Li Rupei ascended the throne, he would create a prosperous age that had never appeared in history. This prosperous age would surpass that of the Han Dynasty.  , the Tang Dynasty that surpassed the Zhenguan era.  It is the dream of every civil and military official to be able to work hard for such a prosperous era and be famous throughout the ages.  Zheng Congchen is glad that he has met such an era.  What he regrets a little is that King Fu Li Rupei seems too modest and respects the civil and military officials under his command. This seems to be inconsistent with the ancient precepts of the emperor's authority, but this is not a big deal, even though there are many famous names in history books.  The emperor recorded it, but it was invisible after all.  When Cui Anqian wiped away his tears, Zheng Congchan spoke quickly.  "Special Envoy Cui, the prince's arrangements must be made immediately. Special Envoy Cui is aware of the prince's behavior. Someone suggested that we start preparing for food and fodder matters in advance. This can save time. Xiangyang is not far from the capital Chang'an.  , is closer to Luoyang, the eastern capital. If the Iron Blood Army is dispatched and the food and grass have not caught up, it will delay the prince's important affairs. " Cui Anqian smiled at Zheng Congfan.  "I was very excited just now and lost my temper. Please don't be offended, Deputy Envoy Zheng." "No, I would like to sincerely congratulate Special Envoy Cui. Your Majesty has great ambitions and is a rare saint. I am lucky to be able to serve under His Majesty.  Officer, Special Envoy Cui and I are all people who have experienced ups and downs. They know the shortcomings of the imperial court. Many of the words the prince said are inspiring. If it were not for the rise of the prince, I am afraid that the world of the Tang Dynasty would have fallen apart. " Cui Anqian nodded.  "What Vice Envoy Zheng said is that I will start preparations now. I will be in charge of the general of the Iron-Blooded Army for this notification, and I will ask Vice Envoy Zheng to inform the rest on my behalf. This matter needs to be kept strictly confidential. Nothing can be done until the matter is spread.  There is no leakage at all." That night, the lights were on.The fire was bright, and the lights in the study room of the palace not far away were never extinguished.  That night, Li Rupei was not the only one who couldn't sleep.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
