Chapter 54: Neutralizing the Prosperous Age

After Lin Feng thought for a while, he raised his eyes and looked at Tang Xizong and analyzed: "Brother Huang, in fact, most of the reasons for this can be simply summarized into a few points!" First, in the politics of the imperial court, the partisan struggle is very serious, and it can be said that it has reached the point of life and death! Second, because of the official eunuchs and nobles, the inferior gentry and the powerful and wanton annexation of land, the most grassroots peasants could not live, which caused frequent peasant uprisings! The third point is also the most important point, since the beginning of the Jiedu envoy system, so far there have been many Jiedu to make the power of the feudal town greater than the imperial court, which is also the fundamental reason why the imperial court cannot control the military power! Didn't Emperor Gaozu say back then that only those with hard fists have power! ”

"But, but for my brother, there is still a forbidden army, the Shence Army, the left and right dragon Wuwei and so on! There is a lot of military power in the hands of my brother! Tang Xizong immediately retorted with a dissatisfied face, but when he saw Lin Feng's smiling expression, he immediately reacted in his heart, not to mention tens of thousands of forbidden troops, his guards at the moment were all selected from the army to temporarily serve as guards, and suddenly they were like deflated balls, and his voice became lower and lower.

Seeing this, Lin Feng knew that the critical moment had arrived tonight, and he hurriedly showed his loyalty to Tang Xizong: "Brother Huang doesn't have to worry about this!" Even if Chen Jingxuan's traitor mastered a part of the forbidden army, he wouldn't be able to make much waves! Besides, with Chen Jingxuan's soldiers and horses, he has not yet been able to fight with the Shannan Dao army! All the soldiers and civilians of Shannan Province will always be loyal to the imperial brother! Whoever is against the Tang Dynasty and who is against the imperial brother, there is only one road waiting for him to go, and that is the dead end! ”

After hearing these words, Tang Xizong was so moved that he almost burst into tears, his eyes flashed with hope and stared at Lin Feng for half a minute, and then he suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "With my brother-in-law's words, I am very happy for my brother!" The brother-in-law must defeat Chen Jingxuan's old thief and take out this evil breath for his brother! ”

"Brother Huang, rest assured, within half a month, Chengdu Mansion will definitely be taken!" Lin Feng once again bowed his hand and made a guarantee, then smiled slightly, and said with a slightly contemptuous expression: "As soon as the army arrives, Chen Jingxuan will be unable to fly!" At that time, it will be sent to the imperial brother and left to be disposed of! ”

"Good, good!" Tang Xizong laughed and applauded, then leaned forward and asked, "Brother-in-law, you said that with the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, what should I do as a brother?" How can we save Datang back? As he spoke, Tang Xizong's face gradually appeared with a yearning look: "If you are a brother, you can also be like Emperor Taizong Xuanzong and create a peaceful and prosperous world, even if you lose half of your life, you are willing to be a brother!" Does my brother-in-law have a plan? ”

"Hmm." Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Tang Xizong's transformation to be so fast, he groaned for a while, turned his head and replied: "Brother Huang, you might as well follow the methods of Emperor Taizong Xuanzong and other emperors, as well as the governing strategies of various famous ministers!" ”

"Huh? Let's talk about it in detail! Tang Xizong's eyes rolled and continued to ask.

For example, Emperor Taizong said at that time that for the way of the king, the people must be saved first, and if the people are harmed to serve them, they will be cut off to eat their stomachs, and their stomachs will be full. If the world is safe, it must be corrected first, and there is no one who is upright and shadowed, and the upper rule is chaotic. The meaning of this is that as a king, you must first save the common people. If you sacrifice the interests of the common people to feed yourself, it is like cutting the flesh on your thighs to fill your stomach. When the stomach is full, the man will die. If you want to stabilize the world, you must first straighten yourself up. There is no reason why the body is upright and the figure is crooked, the court is stable and the people are chaotic. Lin Feng casually quoted a sentence said by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and then explained: "In fact, Emperor Taizong's meaning is obvious, the people and peasants at the grassroots level are the foundation of the country, but now the Tang Dynasty has shaken the foundation, so the imperial brother must repair its foundation!" It is necessary to curb the annexation of land, if we learn from the system of equalizing land and the regulation of rent, recover the land and distribute it to the people for cultivation, the people will have food to eat, and there will be surplus grain to pay, and it will only take three years at most, and half of the national strength of the Tang Dynasty can be restored! ”

"Hmmm! This is a good idea! Tang Xizong nodded heavily, then shook his head slightly and frowned and sighed: "But three years seems to be a bit too long!" Now that Datang is suffering from internal and external troubles, how can there be three years of stable time to rectify the country! ”

"Brother Huang, don't bother about this matter!" Lin Feng swore an oath and slapped his chest, and said with a confident smile: "Chen Jingxuan's traitor is already dying!" As for the pseudo-Qi Yellow Thief, if the war goes well, they can all be wiped out within two years! And the most important thing is the Western Regions, Liaodong and Dongying, which have been watched for a long time, what we have to do now is to stabilize them for the time being, and if necessary, we can also give them some sweetness to taste! Datang only needs to recuperate for a few years, and then there is no need to send troops, and those barbarian states will meet the wind and rudder, and obediently continue to submit to Datang! ”

After hearing this, Tang Xizong began to bow his head and ponder, and did not raise his head to answer for a long time. Seeing this, Lin Feng had to continue to add in detail: "Brother Huang, I already have the eyebrows to deal with the pseudo-Qi yellow thieves, and as soon as the matter of Chengdu Mansion is over, I will lead the army straight to the front line, and strive to drive the pseudo-Qi yellow thieves out of the imperial capital Chang'an in a short period of time to welcome the holy car!" ”

"Really?" Tang Xizong's eyes widened suddenly, and his eyes stared straight at Lin Feng and asked.

"Hmmm! Brother Huang rest assured! Lin Feng smiled faintly, picked up the wine glass in front of him and gestured slightly to Tang Xizong, and then raised his neck and drank it all.

"However, even so, can it be that my brother can create the Tang Dynasty again?" Although Tang Xizong didn't know how to create a prosperous world, he also understood that it was not as simple as Lin Feng said, so he frowned and asked again: "What about the others?" Don't you have to do anything for your brother? ”

"Of course Brother Huang is going to do it! The royal brother is the king of a country! Doing is of course the most important thing! Lin Feng was quite helpless about Tang Xizong's questioning, but he had no choice but to continue to analyze and propose patiently: "Yao Chong, the famous minister of Emperor Xuanzong's time, has done ten things to say, and there are a few points that the imperial brother must learn from!" Enforce the law fairly, whether it is the emperor's relatives or ordinary people. Relatives of eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics. Streamlining tax items and abolishing excesses and miscellaneous taxes. The emperor should be a corporal and humbly admonish. ”

"Well, I've seen Yao Xiang's ten things to say for my brother!" Tang Xizong nodded thoughtfully: "These are not difficult, I can definitely do it for my brother!" ”

"Among them, the abolition of excesses and miscellaneous taxes is the top priority, which can stabilize the country's capital! Since the arrival of Emperor Xuanzong in the Tang Dynasty, the rights of eunuchs have become greater and greater, and this item must be paid attention to, and the rights of eunuchs must be restricted! When Lin Feng spoke, he glanced at Yang Lianting on Tang Xizong's side, intentionally or unintentionally, and Yang Lianting, who was frightened at this glance, shuddered at this glance, and secretly wondered if Lin Feng's words were aimed at himself.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, my brother will definitely listen to your opinion! After his brother returns to Chang'an, he must work hard to emulate Emperor Taizong Xuanzong! Create a prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty again! Let the four seas surrender to my Tang Tianwei! Tang Xizong suddenly seemed to see light in the dark, swept away the decadence just now, stood up with a glass of wine, and laughed at Lin Feng and Mao Hao: "Come on, do it!" ”

"For the sake of the royal brother's future neutrality and prosperity! Dry! Lin Feng and Mao Hao also got up and toasted.
