Liu Yan, who was in charge of the world's powers, accepted Yang Yan's approach without the slightest resistance, not only giving up the salt and iron, green seedlings, rent, and transshipment envoys who had served for 20 years, but also willingly abolishing the Jianghuai, Southeast, and Eyue Patrol Courts that had been in operation for many years.

Not to mention this reaction, the "bystanders" in the palace, Cui Youfu, Yan Zhenqing and others failed to turn the corner for a while, and even Yang Yan and Li Shi, who were prepared, were surprised.

Not only that, Liu Yan also added: "Since the two taxes have been levied, then the rent can be completely abolished in the future." ”

"That's it..... Just do what Liu Qing said. The Emperor paused, and then said.

And Yang Yan, who retreated to the side of the pillar of Zichen Hall at this moment, the flame in his heart has not been extinguished: if Liu Yan refuses to hand over the right to profit, he will die faster; But even if you hand over the rights like now, you don't have to think about retreating bravely, I have laid a net of heaven and earth, and I will kill you!

"Your Majesty, what about Yuanzhou?" After Liu Yan quickly handed over the rights, he asked about this plan again.

And over there, Yang Yan anxiously refuted: "Your Majesty, you can directly send An Xixing camp to Yuanzhou to build a city." ”

At this time, the emperor also hesitated, and on the issue of restoring Yuanzhou, he personally felt that what Liu Yan and Yang Yan mentioned seemed to have some truth.

At this time, Yan Zhenqing spoke: "The camp in Anxi has been fighting for many years, and it is not easy to set up a military government in Jingzhou and gain a firm foothold. According to the minister's opinion, it is most appropriate to set up the original state to open the army first, and then discuss the restoration of the original and the meeting after the food and soldiers are sufficient. ”

Yan Zhenqing is also an old minister of the Four Dynasties, and after the An Lushan rebellion, he and his cousin Yan Gaoqing organized a righteous army in the plains and Changshan to fight against the rebels, so they can be regarded as having considerable military experience.

Suddenly, Yang Yan, who was dissatisfied with Yan's remarks, couldn't hold back his temper and waved his sleeves to start a temper, "The construction of Yuanzhou has been planned since the time of Emperor Ruiwen Shengwu, and now is the time when the melons are ripe. Now Hehuang has fallen into the hands of Xifan, Liufu, Dongshan, Pingxia three party items and animal husbandry in Hezhong, Hedong, often colluding with the outside and inside, destroying the northwest, Gyeonggi, now as long as the city is built in Yuanzhou, scattered elite soldiers to guard the three passes of Shimen, Muxia and Longshan, Xibo will not dare to invade again, and then suppress and expel the party items in Hezhong and Saibei. Once the construction of the city in Yuanzhou is completed, it can be placed in Mingsha, Pingliang two counties and Feng'an army, and from then on it can connect Lingwu in the north and the big river in the west, take advantage of the situation to enter Longyou and Anxi, and cut off the feet of Xifan. ”

"The construction of the city in Yuanzhou is the policy of Yuan Zai in the past, and the general Tian Shengong ridiculed it, thinking that it was just a 'book and words'......"

As a result, before Yan Zhenqing finished speaking, Yang Yan was furious, "Although Yan Lugong's teeth have increased, the less courage he has, why is he too cowardly?" If the soldiers of Jingyuan do not want to Tuntian, then they will recruit the people from the Gyeonggi Pass Auxiliary Land to open the Tuntian! ”

"Back then, Anshi traitors were rampant, the old man was alone in the plains to revolt against the enemy, and he was lonely and loyal to the seventeen counties of Hebei, if he was timid, would he have to wait until today?" Yan Zhenqing also immediately became angry, he was originally fat and big, with a square face, once he started a fire, it was really like thunder, and Yang Yan was immediately shocked.

Only then did Yang Yan realize Fang Cai's gaffe, after all, the other side was the elder of the elders, and his qualifications and prestige were not something he could easily shake, so he hurriedly controlled himself and bowed to Yan Zhenqing to apologize.

In the deadlock, Cui Youfu finally proposed a compromise plan: "Your Majesty can go through the two tax laws first, and the matter of building a city in Yuanzhou or the implementation of Yuanzhou can be postponed a little, and the envoy can be sent to ask Duan Xiushi, the envoy of Jingyuan Jiedu, to see what his opinion is." ”

Li Shi agreed with the words of Cui Youfu, the squire of the Chinese book.

In the afternoon, Cui Youfu, with a sallow face, sat in a sedan chair and slowly returned to the mansion. Soon Huo Zhongtang, a lieutenant sent by the emperor, came to visit, inquired about Cui Youfu's physical condition, and asked him about his views on political affairs through the "emperor's mouth".

In the winding alley outside Cui Youfu's house, Huo Zhongtang, who walked out, was in a corner, and talked quietly with Gao Yue who came here for a while before leaving in a hurry.

At this time, Gao Yue has fully grasped the situation of Zichen Palace.

He understood that soon the emperor would issue a document appointing his father-in-law, Cui Ning, as the new imperial historian.

When Gao Yue then walked in the direction of Shengpingfang, Zhi Hui, who was wearing a light green jacket and a goose yellow Luo skirt, greeted him, and immediately whispered to him: "Third brother, Zhi Hui, I have returned from the refiner's red peony pavilion. ”

It turned out that Gao Yue had asked Zhi Hui to return to Xue Yaoying in the past two days, because she was still Xue's maid on the surface, but Zhi Hui returned to the Red Peony Pavilion this time and sent Xue Yaoying a large amount of gold and silver treasures, and said that Cui Ning was grateful that the refiner had used the small pavilion as a ceremonial courtyard for his daughter and Gao Sanlang, which was a small reward.

Xue Yaoying couldn't help but smile.

However, she didn't expect that Zhi Hui was inserting an eyeliner here for herself, who was close to Yang Yan's party.

Now sitting next to him, serving this and that, a very docile and clever servant, has long become Gao Yue's double agent.

Sure enough, Zhihui sent a message: "The refiner asked me to invite the third brother to a banquet tomorrow, and it is said that there is a big man in the court who wants to see you." ”

"Oh?" Gao Yue replied lightly, and he had already guessed in his heart.

In the Zichen Palace, Zhang She, a Hanlin scholar who was straight at night, knew that the emperor was asking the Hanlin Academy to draft a document for Cui Ning's imperial history, so he remembered his offensive and defensive alliance with Yang Yan, and couldn't help but take the initiative to come and persuade the emperor.

"Sir." Li Shi is still very polite to Zhang She.

Zhang Shi began to play the role of the former waiter in the East Palace, and tried to make Cui Ning the imperial historian, and the emperor was there smiling and listening, silently.

At the same time, in Shengpingfang, Gao Yue found his father-in-law and said, "Yang Yan may come to me tomorrow, but he actually wants to win over you, Father." ”

"Humph!" Cui Ning stroked his beard, and then laughed, "Then Gao Lang will go to the banquet." ”

The next day, in the middle hall of the Red Peony Pavilion, the owner Xue Yaoying sat on the bed with a smile, surrounded by the silver hill screen behind her, like a fairy in the Lingshan Mountain, Gao Yue was invited to make a noodle rope bed in the back of the north, and a special couch was set up on the opposite side, which was still empty, and there was a few cases in the middle, which was covered with a map of the river, Longshan and Hehuang.

Xue Yaoying glanced at Gao Yue who was sitting upright, as if looking at the painting she was most satisfied with, just the reward gift that Cui Ning sent to the small pavilion before, it would be no less than a thousand yuan, and in the future, if Gao Yue flew Huang Tengda, served Zhu Zi, and wore goldfish, he still needed to worry about it in the second half of his life?

"Your Excellency has arrived." Zhihui, who was standing, shouted softly, and then knelt down.

Gao Yue saw a slender figure, swept behind the hill screen on the side of the refiner's bed, and then walked out, his eyebrows were sparse, and his long hair was fluttering, wasn't it Yang Yan, the servant of the door?
