Hearing the emperor's disgruntled evaluation of Di Renjie, although the two people present were close confidants, neither of them opened their mouths to respond.

Di Renjie is now very important in the court in terms of status and influence, and the emperor has any thoughts about his people and affairs, but what their respective views are not easy to disclose.

After all, to be honest, even if the emperor may have any dissatisfaction with Di Renjie, he will stop at some private occasions, but in public, he is still respectful to Di Xianggong.

Seeing that neither of them made a sound, the emperor felt bored in his heart, but sighed and laughed at himself: "Di seems to be respectful, but there is no one in his eyes, in the final analysis, I am still out of control." After changing the old years of the Queen Mother, even if she is committed to Shaanxi, she dares to be so arrogant? ”

When it comes to the emperor's inner perception of Di Renjie, it is really difficult to say. Not only Di Renjie, but also the old ministers of the Tang family, including Li Zhaode, the emperor's feelings about them are also very complicated.

In previous years, he lived in the deep palace, but fortunately these old ministers tried their best to maintain it, so that he was not persecuted by the kings of the Wu family, and even finally kept the clouds open and saw the moon, and became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty again. From the bottom of his heart, Li Dan is indeed grateful to these old ministers.

But as he gradually came into contact with the world, especially the friction in power, Li Dan's feelings about these people became complicated. Or that the rift has existed for a long time, but it has become more and more prominent with the development of time.

In the old days, he lived in the deep palace, and the heavy palace was a shackle for Li Dan, but it was also like a kind of protection. He fantasized about freedom, fantasized about being able to live without restraint, and fantasized about enjoying power one day, and fantasized that the monarchs and ministers would work together to eradicate all kinds of demonic atmosphere in the Wu Zhou Dynasty through hard work, so that the Tang Dynasty could become strong again under his leadership.

At that time, the ministers welcomed the saint into the court outside the gate of the inner palace, and Li Dan at that time could be said to be panicked like a frightened bird.

Especially when he heard that Doulu Qinwang, a close relative of the clan family, actually resisted the general trend, and even relied on his authority to implicitly recruit Luling to return to the dynasty to replace himself, which made Li Dan realize that the so-called old ministers' support for him may not be pure loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, they have experienced the turmoil of the Wuzhou Dynasty, and their behavior and even their own temperament and thoughts are extremely complicated.

As the situation evolved, this perception became more and more intense. For Li Zhaode, Li Dan felt most dissatisfied not with his strong style, but under the gaze of that eye, Li Dan always felt that in Li Zhaode's eyes, he seemed to be always the imperial heir who lived in seclusion in the old years and lived like a year.

To be more accurate, in front of these old ministers, Li Dan never seems to be able to feel the supreme glory of being the supreme emperor. These old ministers had given him shelter in the old years, and they were always lacking in confidence in front of them.

So he set up Li Zhaode, and even degraded him to Lingnan, it seems that the downfall of these old ministers can save him some dignity.

It's not that Li Dan doesn't want to treat these old ministers well, no matter whether their minds are pure or not, but at least he has benefited from them for a long time. Even before Li Zhaode left the capital, he made a special trip to meet Li Zhaode once, as long as Li Zhaode was willing to show a trace of weakness and reluctance in front of him, he was willing to let Li Zhaode continue to be honored in Duji.

To put it more thoroughly, you old ministers have witnessed me being decently and prostrate in front of the Queen Mother, I just want to see your weakness and helplessness, and seek a little psychological balance.

But even this small expectation in his heart, Li Zhaode did not meet him, but he was not humble or arrogant and was ordered to say goodbye. Therefore, after Li Zhaode left the capital, Li Dan directly tore up the edict he had personally written, sent the book to the province, and added shade to Li Zhaode's son.

Compared with Li Zhaode's tough style, Di Renjie is undoubtedly more tactful, and he can better take care of the king's inner feelings. Therefore, those honors that were taken back from Li Zhaode, Li Dan once again added them to Di Renjie, in order to create an atmosphere of harmony between the monarch and the minister.

And what he really disappointed with Di Renjie was that in this year's election, Li Dan hinted more than once that Di Renjie could show a little favoritism and give his children more beautiful positions. But Di Renjie seemed to be fair and selfless, and sent his two sons back to his hometown in Bingzhou.

If you look at this matter positively, Di Renjie, as a ruler, can not show favoritism, and even take care of his son.

But for the emperor, if I give you such a powerful position, do I care if you seek a six-rank messenger for your son? As the prime minister, the son-in-law is still not dedicated to the country, but is placed in a state like the state where the emperor's order is beyond reach, which is really scheming!

One or two, these old ministers are unruly. But on the issue of King Yong, they repeatedly tolerated him, and they showed their appreciation for King Yong, both inside and out. This attitude stung Li Dan even more, and also made him even more intolerant of Xingtai.

I didn't intend to be in the big position, it was you old ministers who welcomed me out of the deep palace. If you think that King Yong can support the country, why bother to do it back then! Is it just because I'm a coward?

It has been less than two years since the Shendu Revolution took place, but Li Dan's experience during this period of time has been several times that of more than 30 years before. He even somewhat understood why his mother wanted to exterminate humanity and challenge humanity to attack the supreme position. If people are not self-reliant, they will always be in prison, and the kindness and protection of the past are nothing more than strange goods!

Because of this, the feelings in his heart for these old ministers of the Tang family gradually changed from initial gratitude to resentment, and even to hostility now.

But no matter what he felt in his heart, Li Dan knew that he was still far from being able to control the government at the moment, especially in the existence of such a cancer as Shaanxi Daodaxingtai, and he could not completely sweep this so-called old minister out of the court with a momentary will. Keeping Di Renjie in the court is also an example.

"Shaanxi Province is military because of border affairs. However, there are many old ministers in the DPRK who are stubborn and obstructive, only taking recuperation as their business, and frequently obstructing the repair and preparation of military affairs. Looking at the past and present, how can there be a strong country that does not thrive? In the long run, the stronger I am and the weaker I become. ”

Although Li Dan has been in the deep palace for a long time, he also understands where the power comes from, and the strength of the platform is so strong, and it is not only the ability of King Yong's ingenuity.

It's a pity that Wang Xiaojie, who he chose before, is really embarrassed, and it is far more difficult to rectify the military affairs of Nanya than he imagined. Moreover, the Southern Ya is closely related to foreign dynasties, and even if there is some success, it is difficult for it to be the private property of the king.

"The goods donated by the cautious boy this time are not only in the palace treasury, but they must not be extravagant. In the past, several proposals to repair the Beiya could not be implemented due to material difficulties. Now that I have such a foreign fortune, I am investing it in this! ”

Li Dan was born in the world, and he naturally has a personal experience of the difference between the South and the North Ya, and in the previous Shendu Revolution, King Yong suddenly exceeded the capital and controlled the North Ya. Further along, his mother was able to abolish the throne, his father was able to chase the eldest grandson, and even his grandfather was able to ascend to the throne, all of which were uncertain in the Northern Ya.

The reason why the adjustment of military affairs between the DPRK and China was to focus on the southern ya, and there was little mention of the northern ya, was not because Li Dan did not know the stakes in this, but because he was forced by lack of money.

The sixteen guards of the Nanya led the soldiers of the world, although the soldiers of the government have almost collapsed at present, but after all, they are still the public weapons of the country in the system, so the rectification of the military affairs of the Nanya is also a major event of the imperial court, even if the treasury is empty and the finances are difficult, this thing must be done.

However, the Northern Ya has a bit of the flavor of the Son of Heaven's private army, and the military structure should be more independent, and it is a tool used by the emperor to balance the Southern Ya and even the entire foreign dynasty. Therefore, if you want to carry out large-scale expansion and rectification of the Beiya through the treasury financial expenditure, the support enthusiasm of the courtiers will naturally not be too high.

Li Dan accepted such a situation, regardless of how the outer court was for the time being, and the inner palace was simply a mess.

His mother's ability to lose the family was originally one of the few emperors in the past dynasties, and there was also a family thief, Li Shenzhi, the king of Yongyong, who took advantage of the convenience of controlling Ouchi earlier, to clean the palace treasury, and the rats had to starve to death if they entered, not to mention leaving Li Dan with any starting funds to rectify the Beiya.

Without money, it is difficult to move an inch, even for the emperor. When Li Dan's family first returned to Da Nei, every application in the palace had to be raised from the food of the princes and the lords, and where did they get the money to form the so-called Son of Heaven army in Beiya?

Therefore, this huge amount of more than 670,000 yuan, Li Dan really sees it in his eyes, and now that the money has not yet entered the capital, he has decided to invest it in Beiya, so as to form a forbidden army force that is truly loyal to his emperor.

Hearing the emperor say this, Dou Xiaochen was more or less disappointed. He previously focused on mentioning that half of King Yong's family wealth was to rob their Dou family property, and it was not completely selfless, and it was inevitable that he would be a little regretful to hear that the emperor had a plan to use this money and that their family was safe.

However, Dou Xiaochen can also be regarded as a person who has walked through the ghost door closed, money and foreign things, and he is naturally happy when he gets it, and it is not enough to think about it endlessly. So he quickly suppressed a little loss in his heart, and then spoke: "Beiya has this infusion of resources, and it will be able to rejuvenate and be of great use, and the soldiers who are not cronies are not enough to give it." ”

Li Dan nodded after hearing this: "This matter needs to be carefully considered, but it's a pity that King Yu and others are too few, and there are not many people in the Zong family who can lead the secret choice." ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Dou Xiaochen, who was faintly expecting, and said: "The rectification of military affairs in Beiya is still just a small plan for palace defense, and whether the frontier is safe or not is the real plan for the family and country." Shaanxi Province is so boastful, nothing more than a few achievements. The imperial court was trapped in the theory of recuperation before, and there was no long-term plan for this. But now, side schemes have become the focus of public opinion and cannot be ignored.

I plan to make my father-in-law the governor of Youzhou, supervise the military affairs of Hebei, and lead the Dongyi capital to protect and control the Northeast Zhuyi Prefecture, select generals to practice martial arts, and wait until the time is to fight the thief Hu of the Monan rebellion! ”
