    After the Tubo incident, Li Min suddenly felt that the official atmosphere in Chang'an had changed. He could feel that these ministers were becoming more and more respectful to him. They no longer liked to find reasons to confront him when nothing happened before. He thought that this might be why some emperors faced  When opposing domestic forces, he would always attack some nearby countries to increase his domestic prestige. This time Li Min personally issued an order to conquer Tubo, and the battle with basically no casualties really shocked many ministers, because this time  Basically all the military generals from Chang'an accompanied the tour, and their changes in attitude after returning also indirectly affected the attitudes of these civil servants.  Time flies, four years have passed in the blink of an eye. During these four years, Li Min's position in the Tang Dynasty has been gradually consolidated. From officials to common people, everyone understands that Li Min is now the de facto emperor of the Tang Dynasty.  The only difference is that he still lacks the title of emperor. These four years are not long, but they are also not short. The Yizhou model is gradually being implemented in Chang'an. Chang'an officials are familiar with the new administrative method, and the people have also experienced the benefits of Yizhou.  The rich life of the people in the state has brought Li Min's prestige among the people to a new level.  On this day, Li Min suddenly felt a little depressed. It felt good to hold great power, but the busy government affairs also made him very tired. When he got up in the morning, he simply turned down all government affairs and wandered around Chang'an City with his guards.  , after the engineering team intervened in Chang'an, Chang'an has changed rapidly. In four years, various magnificent buildings have been erected, and the prosperity of the past seems to have returned to this ancient capital.  Stepping on the clean asphalt road, Li stared at the cars passing by. Some of these cars were produced in Yizhou factories, and some were sold here from the trade zone. In addition to cars, the shops along the street sold various products that could only be purchased in modern times.  , this is the change that two-way trade brought to Datang.  Shaking his head and smiling, Li Min recalled the time when he first came to Chang'an, as if it was a lifetime ago. At that time, he was just an unpleasant prince. According to historical records, he should have died of illness in Bashu at this time. It was only more than ten years ago.  In the past, he has become the person with the highest power in this country. The world has changed. It can be said that it has been Hedong for thirty years and Hexi for thirty years.  However, his life has not been easy in the past four years. Only when he actually took over the entire government affairs of the Tang Dynasty did he feel the pressure on him. The tedious government affairs made him understand the saying that it is easier to conquer a country than to defend it. And among these four years,  What made him most uncomfortable was watching the changes in the old ministers who had been with him for more than ten years after he took charge of Chang'an. In the past four years, he had watched the fight between the ministers with cold eyes, just as he predicted,  Today's imperial court has truly become a battleground between the Yizhou faction headed by Shangguan Yi and the Chang'an faction headed by Changsun Wuji. Although this is the result he wants, facing these ministers attacking each other every day, he is really  Too annoying.  Secondly, what bothered him the most was the subtle change in the relationship between the three women behind him. This change was caused by Su Moer and Liu Yanyu each having a boy for Li Min. Although the three of them still looked like sisters on the surface.  Normally, but he felt that they sometimes deliberately flattered him. For him who had watched countless palace battles in later generations, he could easily feel it. At this time, he suddenly understood one thing, he was in control of everything.  , but cannot control people's hearts.  "Your Highness, we have arrived at Qujiang Pool." Rongda accompanied Li Min out today. Seeing that Li Min was in a bad mood, he did not dare to speak. Four years has been enough for Rongda to become a qualified Huangmen Minister, and  Rongda did it.  "Oh, really?" Li Min raised his eyes and looked at the renovated Qujiang Pond. As a scenic spot in Chang'an, many new attractions and buildings have been built along the Qujiang Pond, and the goldfish wandering in the Qujiang Pond also show that these four  Chang'an has been moving closer to Yizhou.  Rongda said respectfully: "Your Highness, I have been busy with government affairs in recent years and have rarely had the opportunity to go out and play. This Qujiang Pool is much more interesting than before. Every night, there are colorful lanterns everywhere, and Yizhou's specialty snacks are all over the streets. Here  But it¡¯s the busiest place in Chang¡¯an at night.¡± Li Min glanced at the vendors, and then at the waterwheels in the lake. If they hadn¡¯t been wearing Tang Dynasty clothes, would he have thought this was a modern place?  "It's time to go out for a walk." Li Min thought, and then said to Rongda: "Shangguanyi went to Yizhou and hasn't come back yet?" "Your Highness, you haven't come back yet? You say you are caught up in something important."  Li said "Oh" and suddenly walked towards a hotel in Qujiangchi In the Weijia Restaurant in Yizhou, Shangguan Yi was having dinner with Guan Sixing and other Yizhou officials. Yizhou has not been affected by Chang'an in recent years.  It declined after the rise of emerging cities in the Tang Dynasty. Instead, it became more prosperous because of its status as an economic pioneer, attracting businessmen from all over the world.  "Mr. Shangguange, I'd like to toast you. If I hadn't had your advice at Government Affairs University back then and your kind words in front of His Highness, I wouldn't be in charge of thinking today." After a few glasses of wine.? Guan Sixing stood up with a wine glass and said to Shangguan Yi.  Waving his hand, Shangguan Yi asked Guan Sixing to sit down and said: "Sixing, this is all your own ability. It is also our Highness's discernment of talents that allows us, those who have no ambition, to have the glory and wealth we have today. You  I should be grateful to His Highness." Guan Sixing said: "This is natural. I will never forget His Highness's kindness to me." Shangguan Yi glanced at Guan Sixing, who looked drunk, and suddenly sighed heavily.  "That's good." "Why did Mr. Shangguan Ge sigh suddenly?" Guan Sixing said doubtfully.  "Hey!" Shangguan Yi sighed heavily again and said, "I really envy you. You are carefree in Yizhou, unlike me in Chang'an who have to worry about you every day."  Si Xing became more and more puzzled, "Shangguan Ge Lao is now a very popular minister. He can be said to be inferior to one person and above ten thousand people in the court. Why do you say this?" "You only see my superficial appearance. In the court,  My life is not easy, I have to worry about being read behind my back every day, especially since Changsun Wuji is always against me," Shangguan Yi said.  Although Guan Sixing was in Yizhou, he also knew that the government was divided into two factions, including officials from Chang'an who came to review Yizhou's accounts every year. If there was any mistake, they would blame Li Min. Of course, the north  Yizhou also audits the accounts of other prefectures and counties. This is called cross-examination. Last year, three officials in Yizhou were demoted because of this matter. Guan Sixing said angrily: "Old officials like Changsun Wuji really don't understand.  Current affairs, don't even look at who is ruling the world now. " "Let me tell you, these people are just relying on the emperor's power. If His Highness ascends the throne, they will dare to be so arrogant." An official who followed Shangguan Yi to Yizhou suddenly came.  Said out loud.  Hearing this, the other officials showed contemplative expressions, and no one dared to speak. The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became a little solemn. Now that Li Shimin was also the emperor, what this official said was treasonous.  "Hahaha Don't be nervous, Mr. Wang just made angry remarks and had no other intentions." Shangguan Yi broke the silent atmosphere, everyone showed relaxed expressions, and drank glasses again.  Guan Sixing had been deep in thought after Wang Shilang spoke. He hesitated and said to Shangguan Yi: "To be honest, Mr. Shangguan Ge said that I am familiar with Li Chunfeng Taoist from Qingcheng Mountain. I had tea with him a few days ago to discuss Taoism. You guys  I also know that the emperor is practicing in Qingcheng Mountain in addition to Yizhou. He told me that day that the emperor had the idea of ??Zen and was devoted to studying Taoism, but he still seemed a little hesitant. " Hearing this, Shangguan Yi's pupils suddenly dilated.  But the expression on his face did not change at all. He calculated that it had been fourteen years since he had followed Li Min. He was twenty-six that year, and now he is in his early forties. The depression in the past made him understand more and more today.  To seize power, and to reach the pinnacle of power, there is another enemy: the Chang'an faction headed by Changsun Wuji. As long as they are removed, he will really be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. To defeat these people, the most important thing is to defeat them.  The quickest way is to make them lose Li Shimin as their backer. Now Guan Sixing's words suddenly gave him hope. Now that Li Shimin has this idea, he only needs a little persuasion from someone, and maybe it will be done.  r1152 varwosoadconfig={cid:"23130",aid:"1036"};
