Chapter 1815: The Return of the King
In fact, this section of the road from Guangzhou to Yangzhou is not bad, because there are not many people on this section of the road, they are some barren mountains and mountains, most of them are fleeing to Yangzhou, and will not go down again, so there are many beggars and homeless people in Yangzhou, but out of Yangzhou and then go up, it feels as if falling directly from heaven to hell, this is everywhere on the road of homeless people, beggars, almost all the government is paralyzed, all along the way are the army escorting Han Yi, there is no one in the government at all.
Without government control, there is no order, one can imagine how chaotic the states and counties along the canal are, and what is even worse is that the states and counties along the canal used to be large tax payers, and the losses of the central government can be imagined.
If there is chaos in Guangzhou, the imperial court may not care, but it is the richest generation.
Not only that, but now even the merchants dare not go out, and the goods that are still circulating here at this time are all smugglers transporting, because the smugglers and robbers are also colluding, so the price can be imagined.
It can be said that the whole country, except for the army, is not in chaos, everything is in chaos, Li Zhi also knows very well, if the army is chaotic again, it will be completely over, and he will take out all the food in his inner government to supplement the military salary.
Fortunately, he also has a group of generals who are very loyal to him, Li Ji, Qi Bi He Li, Gao Kan, Xue Rengui They are very supportive of Li Zhi, because they also know that Li Zhi is no wonder about this, it was Wu Meiniang and Li Yifu who made it, and now they are all personally on the battlefield to stabilize the hearts of all parties, Pang Xiaotai went to Jiangnan, Gao Kan and Cheng Mingzhen went to Shandong.
But this will not make up for the deficit of the treasury, and without money, nothing can be done, and the whole country is almost in a state of anarchy, and such a large territory, if it continues for a long time, it will be finished sooner or later.
Just along the way, Han Yi received fifty edicts from Li Zhi, and the content of each one was the same, in short, it was --- one word.
Li Zhi can't wait for Han Yi to fly over now.
Han Yi also kept changing to take fast horses, and rushed back with stars and moons, he didn't want to rush like this, after all, he was so tired, but there was no way, Li Zhi sent his edict outside like waste paper, and in less than a month, Han Yi rushed to Chang'an.
After arriving in Gyeonggi, because of safety concerns, Han Yi was asked to take a carriage into the city.
When Han Yi just entered Chang'an County, looking out of the car window, there were people on both sides of the road, and there was no end in sight, and the Nanya Forbidden Army was also all dispatched to maintain law and order, in fact, it was to protect Han Yi, and Han Yi must not have any mistakes.
"Is that Brother Han's carriage?"
"I don't know."
“.......!”
When Han Ye's carriage appeared, there were whispers in the crowd.
At this moment, a team of cavalry came over, and the first person was Han Yi's father-in-law, Yang Sine.
Yang Sine came to the carriage and asked in a low voice, "It's Han Yi inside." ”
"Yang Gong!"
Han Yi hurriedly lifted the curtain, beckoned and smiled.
"You're still smiling!"
Yang Sine's eyes widened, and he asked angrily, "Where have you been these days?" ”
Han Yi said truthfully: "I took your daughter on a trip." ”
"You must not say that."
Yang Sine's face tightened, and he hurriedly admonished.
Han Yi's heart was like a mirror, but he said: "Why? ”
"You... I really shouldn't have entrusted Blizzard to you in the first place. Yang Sina said angrily.
If you want to say that, Yang Feixue also has to take responsibility!
"Okay, okay, I don't say, I don't say." Han Yi hurriedly said.
Yang Sine glared at this guy, and whispered: "Your Majesty asked you to change the carriage to enter the palace." ”
Han Yi was surprised: "Why? ”
Yang Sine said in a low voice: "I have to let the people know that you are back!" You sit in the carriage who can see. ”
"Huh? It's not that serious. Han Yi said in fear.
"It's much more serious than you imagined, you come out quickly, Your Majesty is still waiting in the palace."
The old man spoke, and Han Yi could only honestly get out of the carriage.
"Brother Han! It's Brother Han! ”
"Brother Han is finally back!"
"Brother Han!"
When the people saw Han Yi coming out of the carriage, they immediately cried bitterly, became extremely crazy, raised their arms, and everyone shouted "Brother Han" together.
The sound is earth-shattering.
Even the soldiers who came here to maintain law and order ignored military discipline and excitedly held their weapons high.
It feels like it hasn't rained in three years, and it suddenly rains.
Looking forward to the stars and the moon, it can be regarded as looking forward to Han Yi.
The whole outskirts were boiling.
The children rejoiced, the old woman bowed down and wept, the girl hid her face and wept, and some even fell to their knees and covered their faces and wept bitterly.
......
Wow! You don't need to exaggerate, do you? Han Yi was a little frightened, he was at a loss for a while, smiled awkwardly at the people, and got into the carriage that Yang Sine prepared for him.
"Han Yi, you can be regarded as here."
All I could hear was a roar.
Han Yi, who was about to enter the carriage, heard it a little familiar, and looked for prestige, but when he saw Cheng Chuliang and Wei Zhiqi, they were all standing on the side of the road, because they had nothing to do now, and they all came here to maintain law and order by the way, Han Yi's face immediately turned black.
Seeing that this kid was standing motionless on the carriage, Yang Sine was anxious, so he pushed him in with one hand, and then told the coachman to hurry into the city.
"The show is finally going on!"
On a small hill, Cui Pingzhong, who was carrying a jar of wine, leaned against a big tree, looking at it from a distance, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
The vulture on the tree said: "If there is such a time in life, it is really in vain." ”
This is actually what many people yearn for, the return of the hero and the return of the king.
Cui Pingzhong nodded with a smile and said, "That makes sense." ”
You must know that when Li Jing and the others returned triumphantly, they were not so sensational, not so exaggerated, not only the people came to greet them, but even the officials came.
Not to mention the officials, even Li Ji, Qi Bi He Li, and Xue Rengui are all here, because the return of Han Yi is the top priority in the whole country.
Then Li Ji really breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Han Yi, "This kid can be regarded as here." ”
It was the most difficult time in their lives, because it was a crisis that had never happened in history, and they didn't even know why it had erupted.
In fact, this crisis is caused by many, many factors, there are internal factors, there are also external factors, to take it apart, in fact, similar examples can still be found in history, but these things all collided together, and in a very short period of time, which is unique, because this is all man-made, not a coincidence.
Although Han Yi has just come back, it can also be said that if there is no Han Yi, it will definitely be much more chaotic than now.
It is precisely because Han Yi has not yet appeared, so everyone still retains the last bit of hope, so everyone will become so crazy when they see Han Yi, this is the last hope, if it doesn't work again, then you can only reshuffle the cards, or fight a battle and erase all the debts in the past.
In just a few moments, the people shouted so loudly that their voices were hoarse, and their tears dried up.
"Hey, hey, hey! Who are you and what are you going to do? ”
Han Yi, who had just been pushed into the car by Yang Sine, didn't even see the surrounding environment clearly, so he felt that a few hands were touching him, and he looked left and right, and saw four handsome girls pulling out his clothes.
This... It's horrible!
Rao is a clever Han Yi, and he can't understand this one!
He hasn't tried the feeling of being strong by others, and it's four people, and it's all at the level of "wheel", and he doesn't know what to do, and he doesn't know how to deal with it, after all, he has no experience in this area.
But soon, he realized that the four palace maids were just helping him change into official clothes, and nothing happened.
This made him a little regretful, if something happened, it might also be a beautiful and exciting memory!
I'm not that loyal to my chastity.
It turns out that in the current situation, Li Zhi is really afraid that Han Yi will not do anything, after all, Han Yi is now an ordinary person, so first wrap the official uniform for Han Yi, if you don't want to wear it, you have to wear it, but as long as you wear this official uniform, then you have the responsibility to carry all this.
Moreover, it is not a red robe, but a purple robe, which is an official uniform that can only be worn by prime ministers.
The carriage ran all the way and drove directly to the gate of the Liangyi Palace, no prime minister in the Tang Dynasty had this treatment, and the carriage could only walk around the imperial city at most, and it was not said who dared to drive to the gate of the Liangyi Palace.
"Oops! Han Shangshu, you can be regarded as here. ”
As soon as Han Yi got off the carriage and was about to tidy up his clothes, Zhang Desheng, who was guarding the door, ran down with his little short legs, and couldn't help but be in tears, dragging Han Yi and running to the Liangyi Palace, and pushed him in, at this time, it doesn't matter if you don't wear it, no one cares anyway.
Notification?
Is there still a need to report now?
Han Yi had just entered the hall, and when he looked up, he saw Li Zhi standing in front of him haggardly, not even wearing shoes, obviously just jumped off the couch, he couldn't help but be frightened, and hurriedly saluted, "Weichen----! ”
Li Zhi still cared if he was saluting or not, and said with a gloomy face: "Why are you only here now?" ”
It's like I'm going to die.
Han Yi was stunned, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has gone on a trip." ”
"Travel?"
"Yes."
"You...!"
Li Zhi was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, I was living a miserable life here, you went on a trip, and you didn't even take me with you, it really didn't make sense, pointing at Han Yi, and roared: "Do you know that if you don't come again, my Tang Dynasty will be over." ”
Han Yi said with a shocked face: "Your Majesty, how did it become like this?" ”
"It's all because of those ---!"
Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't want to mention them anymore now, and now I can only rely on you to save all this." ”
Han Yi blinked and said, "But the minister doesn't even know what the situation is now, and besides, the minister has walked all the way, as if he has gone from hell, and the minister --- minister may not be able to do anything." ”
"You can't say that."
Li Zhi puffed out his eyes, and was afraid that people would listen to him, and looked left and right, this emperor should be on him, and there is really no one, and he said in a low voice: "Now everyone's hopes are pinned on you, if your words are spread, the people's hearts will be scattered, and then everything will be over." Now the only thing the people believe in is you, you have to do it if you can't do it, I will officially crown you as Shangshu Ling now, and you will be fully responsible for all affairs. ”
Han Yi thought to himself, no wonder he hadn't seen this official uniform, it turned out to be Shang Shuling's official uniform!
Since Li Shimin's accession to the throne, this Shangshu order has basically been abolished, because Li Shimin became the emperor from Shangshu Ling, only set up Shangshu left and right servants, and ruled the six departments.
But now the situation is different, the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty have never encountered such a big crisis, in this case, power must be concentrated, Zhongshu, Menxia, is the drafting and review department, the current situation, there is no need, all by Han Yi has the final say, and Shangshu Province is the executive department, which is equivalent to merging the three provinces into one province, it can be seen that Li Zhi has reached the point of exhaustion.
Of course, this military power is still in the hands of Li Zhi, but all the administrative power is handed over to Han Yi.
Han Yi looked embarrassed and was silent.
Of course, Li Zhi understood in his heart that at this time, no one dared to carry all this easily, and if he didn't make it, he would be a sinner through the ages, so he stretched out his hand, grabbed his arm tightly, and said, "Han Yi, I know that this is quite difficult for you, but now except for you, no one can help my Datang get through this difficulty." ”
Speaking of the back, tears glistened in his eyes.
He also knew that Han Yi was at the most glamorous time, resigned and went home to keep filial piety, and after Han Yi kept his filial piety, he was not in a hurry to recruit Han Yi back, because at that time he was sad about the matter of Hongchen, and he had already thrown Han Yi out of the clouds, however, when the country was in the most crisis, he thought of Han Yi, which is really a bit unkind.
However, this is actually not his original intention, he never intended to let Han Yi stay at home, and he has always adhered to Han Yi's policy and has not completely abolished it, but it is precisely because of this that it is now that the two ends are not docked, if he used the form of a decree at that time to make everything official, it may not become like this, because relying on the policy to rob, this cost is the lowest, and Li Yifu does not need to invest so much.
When Han Yi heard this, his face couldn't help but show a look of emotion, and after a while, he arched his hand and said: "If there was no promotion from His Majesty, how could Wechen be today, Wechen is willing to go to the soup for His Majesty, and he will not hesitate." ”
See the truth at this critical moment!
Li Zhiqiang held back tears and said, "Okay, good!" With your words, I am relieved, and I am confident that you will be able to save all this. ”
Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, although the minister is not clear about the situation for the time being, but Your Majesty should not worry too much, there will always be a solution to this matter, and the minister will definitely do his best." ”
Although Han Yi never gave a guarantee, it was enough, and Li Zhidu was already choked up and speechless, just nodded.
