Replacing Zheng Qi as the Fujian Observer was Zheng Shuze, the former assassin of Xinzhou.

Because he was concerned about the future of Fujian, before Zheng Qi left, he wrote a total of 12 evil deeds committed by Li Qi, the naval envoy of the neighboring Qianzhen Navy, on the wall of the embassy, and then said to his subordinates, Li Qi's fate is enough to be a warning, what is feasible and what is not feasible, I will write it on the wall of the government office, but whether you can stick to it in your heart, then it depends on your own.

Then Zheng Qi set sail in Fuzhou, first entered the river at the corner of Yangzhou, and then went all the way to Jingkou.

The servant Liu Jing said to Zheng Qi at this moment, Gao Wei lives in Yangzhou, do you want to see him?

"What to see! Since he elected me as a servant, there must be his reason, and my ability, a gentleman's friend, and his words are not selfish. Zheng Qi replied indifferently, and then he asked Liu Jing to go to Jingkou Caoshi to buy some necessary items, and then he went directly to Eyue and Xiangyang, and took Shangluo Road to Beijing.

But at this moment, a group of officials came to the front of the district, saying that they were carrying gifts from the Duke of Weiguo, and they knew that the Zheng Guild was passing by here, so they came to ......

Zheng Qi hurriedly asked the boatman to swing the oar, so much so that Liu Jing didn't even have time to buy things, so he went back to the river, "It's not too late to buy it in Jinling." ”

The stars have changed, and by the time Zheng Qi came to Beijing to perform his duties, it was already the time of the New Year.

At the same time, after the political storm in the capital and the forbidden area, a new trend has emerged.

Du Huangshang, Lu Zhen, Han Wei, plus Zheng Qi either returned, or came to Zhongshu Sect.

However, the emperor's Hanlin Academy is empty, the West Academy on the right Yintai Gate, and the East Academy on the side of the Jinluan Palace, the snow does not melt, and the courtyard is silent.

Wei Zhiyi and Wei Cigong were expelled and were in the process of being destined for Sima, and there would be an appointment of the assassin in the near future.

And Li Jifu also went to Daozhou without hesitation and took up the post of assassin.

The Hanlin Academy, the secretary's body that issued orders from the inner court, was actually "suspended" - even according to Lu Zhen's meaning, the academy should not handle government affairs, and it could not exist if it was not right, although he himself was born as a bachelor, and now Lu Zhen took back the power to draft the edict to the Zhongshu Sheren Academy, which is temporarily known to Liu Deshu and Quan Deyu.

In addition, the ruling team also "applied" to reform the model of Yanying Palace, that is, it was no longer the emperor who chose a day to summon the ministers to discuss political affairs, but on the last day of the thirtieth day of each month, the ministers gathered in the Yanying Palace, and then opened the cabinet to report to the emperor on government affairs, and the monarchs and ministers discussed with each other.

Of course, what shocked Zheng Qi was that Lu Zhen, with the assistance of several Sheren Yuan intellectuals, drafted a "Seven Articles of the Fourteenth Year of Xingyuan (797) Palace Reform Request", submitted it to the emperor, and asked the emperor to agree to the edict of the world.

First, Lu Zhen said that Pei Yanling and Li Qi's chaos this time, in fact, there were early signs, and the ministers of the court and the interior thought that Pei Wu was not academically proficient, and His Majesty thought that he was "clean and loyal" and "the most stable", and insisted on going his own way, so he caused such a bitter fruit.

Article 2, the degree branch, the household department, the salt and iron three divisions fight with each other, from the center, consume the national body, after the Zhongshu Shilang and judge the three divisions, as a rule, and the Huainan Jiedu envoy and Jianghuai two taxes salt and iron transport envoy;

Article 3, Pei Yanling's various treacherous acts are all due to the unclear functions and powers of the treasury and the inner treasury, and since then the Daying Qionglin has been abolished, but in order to ensure the prohibition of internal use, a southern treasury can be set up outside the degree of support, with an annual income of 500,000 guan and 1 million pieces of silk, and in addition, the properties under the jurisdiction of the envoys (eunuchs appointed by the emperor to manage private property) are counted and recorded, namely the dyeing workshop, the Qionglin Fang, the Zhuang house, the inner garden, the superintendent, the cattle and sheep, the camp curtain, the wine workshop, the five squares, the mining, and the ten kings, in order to live within their means;

Fourth, please save the two taxes in the world, draw the land and county property of each state, verify the local customer population, pay taxes on households, six points of rice and silk, and four cents of cash, and make it an anvil base national accounting book, and send it to the household department, the amount of yuan is certain, and the amount of income is out, and there is no change;

Fifth, in recent years, Guanzhong has been abundant, and the granaries of Taiyuan and Heyin are very large, and it is feasible to hire people to carry them into Beijing, so please stop the Jianghuai three-year decree to transfer rice, and stop all the feudal roads in the world to proclaim and worship;

Sixth, among the officials of the Inner Enshrinement and the Imperial Historical Tower, thirty people are selected to stand in the courtyard to be systematic, and discuss with the emperor at any time the gains and losses of the world's governance;

Article 7: Northwest and Guanzhong camps and water transportation, regardless of the border army or the Shence army, are all managed by the Du Zhi Division.

The Emperor was on the verge of fainting when these seven points were presented to him, and he now finally understood that when I could not decide the outcome of this war, then a crushing defeat would follow.

The physical destruction of Pei Yanling and Li Qiyun was just a step down from the whole body.

In the end, they still have to get what they want, abolish my inner treasury, abolish my power to proclaim, and let me only receive a fixed amount of money every year from the so-called Duzhi Nanku, so what can I use to support the divine strategy and the divine power forbidden army? Once the source of food and clothing of these two armies changed, the nature of these two armies also changed...... No, the current lieutenant of the forbidden army is still the lieutenant officer, and I can still exert influence...... But for today's plan, it can only be dormant.

In the midst of 100,000 points of anger and humiliation, the emperor still pinched his nose and approved the seven articles of the invitation, and finally formed the "Edict of January 24, 14th Year of Xingyuan", announcing the specific content of "Xingyuan Innovation" to the world.

Then the emperor's position was smashed in half, and his authoritarian influence was instantly eclipsed, and he retreated to the Daming Palace in Chang'an City.

During this time, the emperor could only pick up the books on raising cattle, horses, and sheep again, and meditate on his knowledge, preparing to rely on the forbidden industry to accumulate the power to turn over.

In Shugangzi City, Yangzhou, Han Yu led the horse, just finished his morning office in Jiangdu County, and was ready to go to the military office of the Duke of Wei Guo to inspect things as a shogunate pusher, but when he arrived at the corner of the bustling street, he saw a "wallman" who was painting the wall, so he stopped, and his eyes couldn't move.

When the man turned around and saw Han Yu, he laughed and said, Han Mingfu, why did you come to see me again? This is the fifth time.

Han Yu also laughed, as if he was talking to a friend, he simply held the horsewhip, sat down, and said to the man who had already been in the armor that year: "Uncle Wang, you said before that you are from Jingzhao, right?" ”

The Fencer nodded, then continued to turn his back and brush the wall with the rest of his companions.

"As the saying goes, it is better to be Chang'an grass than to be a border flower, why have you been staying in Yangzhou for so many years?"

"It was still the year of Tianbao, the swallow thieves were in turmoil, we were recruited into the army, and the traitors fought several times, and I didn't pay attention to the thirteen years passed, and I also got a three-rank order, but where is it useful? Later, he simply left the army and begged for food with the steamed bun in his hand, but he didn't have to worry about it, and it has been more than 30 years. ”

Han Yu couldn't help it, and asked the man named Wang Chengfu, "For so many years, you have never thought of returning to your hometown?" ”
