Li Rupei didn't see Ma Fu sent by Yang Fugong, but the letter brought by Ma Fu arrived in his hands.

When looking at the letter, a sneer appeared on Li Rupei's face, completely very eunuch, it is not suitable at present, and it cannot be done, tens of thousands of eunuchs, they also have families, they also need to live, the palace must be served by eunuchs, this is also the rule, Li Rupei can guarantee that there are not many women around him, but he can not guarantee the affairs of his children and grandchildren, even if they can educate Li Chengbo, or even Li Chengbo's son, but he does not have such a long lifespan, what to do after three generations, So if you can't do it, don't do it.

However, as long as Li Rupei enters the capital, the power of the eunuch will suffer a devastating blow, what is the lieutenant of the Shence Army, the middle guard, the privy envoy and other positions, the eunuch is impossible to touch, want to control the military and political power, it is even more delusional, the eunuch is absolutely not able to interfere in politics, otherwise there will be no forgiveness for killing, the eunuch relies on the authority of the emperor, and the people are killed.

After reading Yang Fugong's letter, Li Rupei picked up the pen and wrote four words at the end of the letter: Do it yourself.

He was reluctant to say more, believing that Yang Fugong should understand everything after seeing these four words.

As for the many situations in the capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang, Li Rupei doesn't want to know too much, according to their current strength, if they want to take the capital and the eastern capital, it can be regarded as a gesture, but he doesn't want to be so fast, after all, he has just taken Tibet and Longyou Dao, and it still takes time to sort out these places.

After Yang Fugong saw the four words written by Li Rupei, his face turned pale and his body trembled.

However, it didn't take long for Yang Fugong to show a hideous expression, since Li Rupei's attitude was clear, his attitude was just as clear, it was a big deal to break the net. Nothing remarkable.

Nanfang Road Daxingtaifu.

Li Rupei stood in the middle of the room, Cui Anqian and Zheng Congyan facing him.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates think that the time to go north is ripe, and the prince has already sent a letter to Yang Fugong, presumably at this moment Yang Fugong must be living like a year, and his subordinates think that Yang Fugong will not sit still, if Yang Fugong makes any crazy moves, it will be too late to regret it. The subordinates thought that the prince could not hesitate. ”

After Zheng Congyan finished speaking, Cui Anqian followed and spoke.

"A certain agreed with Deputy Envoy Zheng's suggestion, the prince can not hesitate, the trade tax in the south has increased significantly, not counting Longyou Road and Tibet Road, the trade tax in the rest of the places accounts for more than seventy percent of the total tax, and the imperial court used to pay taxes mainly on agriculture. Supplemented by the salt and iron tax, that is, the tax revenue of the Southern Provincial Government is more than four times that of the previous one. Moreover, the amount of taxes is still increasing, especially after occupying Longyou Road, overseas trade by land has shown a prosperous situation. It will not be long before the tax on overseas trade will increase significantly. ”

"The total number of officers and men of the Iron and Blood Army is 200,000. The total number of officials at all levels of government does not exceed 20,000, and these more than 200,000 people do not consume much in taxes; as for the money invested in the maintenance of roads and ditches, it is completely possible to maintain it, and what is more crucial is that the people are generally richer than before, and Lingnan Province and Qianzhong Province basically do not need to allocate money and grain from the Daxing Taiwan Government this year. ”

"After several years of training, the iron-blooded army will definitely be able to achieve a complete victory in attacking the north, and the return of the iron-blooded army soldiers led by General Gao and General Zhu has shown the invincible spirit of the iron-blooded army in the world, and it should be necessary to attack the north at this moment."

The two of them were very eager, and they completely agreed with Li Rupei's step-by-step approach, but it also depends on what the situation is, Yang Fugong, who is still a trapped beast, is likely to create an extraordinary incident in the capital, and when it really comes to that time, it is still the world of Datang that will be damaged.

No matter how prosperous Xiangyang is, Cui Anqian and Zheng Congyan still agree with the capital Chang'an in their hearts, I am afraid that all the officials of the Southern Dao Daxingtai Prefecture, including many festival envoys, assassin histories and county orders, agree with the capital Chang'an, this is a fact that there is no way to change, Li Rupei can only truly be recognized by the officials and people of the world only when he enters the capital.

Li Rupei didn't speak for the time being, in fact, he had already thought of this question.

The meaning of Yang Fugong's letter is very clear, that is, he hopes to maintain the status of eunuchs, that is, to ensure the ancestral system, do not make any modifications, then he Yang Fugong can support His Royal Highness King Fu to ascend to the throne, Li Rupei will never agree to such a request, once he temporarily agrees to Yang Fugong's request, then Yang Fugong will definitely publicize it for his own rights and interests, which is extremely unfavorable for him to rectify the eunuchs, and after becoming the emperor, he must pay attention to his words and deeds. In this way, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs can truly surrender.

Yang Fugong's hopes are dashed, and there will definitely be unusual moves, even crazy ones.

Li Rupei is a traverser, of course he knows the means of Yang Fugong and his ilk, maybe in a helpless situation, Yang Fugong will hijack the emperor to enter the north, use the emperor as a bargaining chip, get the support of the northern feudal towns, and coerce the Son of Heaven to make the benefits of the princes, all the feudal towns are clear, in order to gain greater power, those northern feudal towns that are eyeing each other will not refuse Yang Fugong's request.

If such a situation really occurs, then Li Rupei, who entered the capital, will face the burden of usurpation, but don't underestimate this burden, maybe leave a very disgraceful mark in history.

As a traverser, Li Rupei is strict with himself, do his best, or don't do it.

Cui Anqian and Zheng Congyan looked at Li Rupei, their anxious expressions overflowing.

A quarter of an hour has passed, this is a long quarter of an hour, no one continued to speak, Cui Anqian and Zheng Congyan's meaning is already very clear, there is no need to continue to explain, what they are waiting for is Li Rupei's decision.

Li Rupei finally spoke.

"What do you mean, I understand, tomorrow, summon the iron-blooded army general Gao Chibang, generals Huang Biao, Song Hu, Zhao Laibao, Zhu Wen, Qian Mu, Yang Xingmi, Cui Yanchong, Lu Shengan, Ma Haoxuan, the envoy of Shannan Dongdao Jiedu, and Liu Yunzhang, the envoy of Shannan Xidao Jiedu who has not yet left Xiangyang, Cui Shenyou, the envoy of Lingnan Jiedu, and Zheng Yunmo, the head of the household department of Daxingtai Prefecture, Lu Guangqi, the head of the military department, Zheng Yanchang of the household department, and Wang Zhenzhi of the military department, all of whom are gathered in Daxingtai Mansion."

After saying these words, Li Rupei turned around and left Daxingtai Mansion, leaving Cui Anqian and Zheng Congyan behind.

Watching Li Rupei leave, tears flowed from Cui Anqian's eyes.

Cui Anqian's age is not young, years of hard work, often makes him feel tired, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted, in order to see Li Rupei enter the capital with his own eyes, if he can't see this ending, Cui Anqian will not be blind, and now this goal is finally about to be achieved, Li Rupei gathered so many people to gather in Daxingtai Mansion, and the focus is on the officials of the household department and the military department, as well as the generals of the iron-blooded army, there is no need to further explain what is going on.

Zheng Congyan looked at Cui Anqian and didn't speak, and he felt more emotion in his heart.

A few days ago, Li Rupei specifically talked about the eunuchs, revealing a strong sense of distress between the lines, on the surface it is talking about eunuchs, but in fact, it is to accuse some emperors of stupidity, not enterprising, or indulged in pleasure, or proud and complacent, resulting in the weakening of the Tang Dynasty, think about it carefully, Li Rupei said is completely correct, the decline of any dynasty has a direct relationship with the emperor, the emperor is clear-headed, can be self-disciplined, can listen to the opinions and suggestions below, can know the suffering of the people, can follow the advice, This dynasty must be extremely powerful, on the contrary, this dynasty will definitely decline.

Li Rupei can realize the shortcomings of his ancestors and boldly point it out, this is not simple, Zheng Congyan doesn't have to think too much, he can know that once Li Rupei ascends the throne, he will create a prosperous era that has never appeared in history, and this prosperous era will surpass the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty in the Zhenguan era.

To be able to work hard for such a prosperous era and to be famous for eternity is the dream of every civil and military official.

Zheng Congyan was glad that he had met such an era.

It's just that he regrets a little that King Fu Li Rupei is too modest, and he has a lot of respect for the civil and military officials under his command, which doesn't seem to be in line with the ancient precepts of the emperor's authority, but this is nothing remarkable, although there are many records of emperors in the history books, but after all, it is invisible.

When Cui Anqian wiped away his tears, Zheng Congyan hurriedly spoke.

"Special Envoy Cui, the matter arranged by the prince must be arranged immediately, the style of the prince's acting, Special Envoy Cui is aware, a suggestion, start preparing for grain and grass matters in advance, so as to save time, Xiangyang is not far from the capital Chang'an, and it is closer to Luoyang, the eastern capital, if the army of iron and blood is dispatched, and the grain and grass have not yet kept up, it will delay the prince's major event."

Cui Anqian smiled at Zheng Congyan.

"Just now, I was very excited and lost my temper, and I asked Deputy Envoy Zheng not to be surprised."

"Where, a certain is to sincerely congratulate Envoy Cui, the prince's ambition is a rare saint, a certain is fortunate to be an official under the command of the prince, Envoy Cui and a certain are people who have encountered ups and downs, know the shortcomings of the court, many words spoken by the prince, deafening, if it is not for the rise of the prince, I am afraid that the world of the Tang Dynasty has fallen apart."

Cui Anqian nodded.

"What Deputy Envoy Zheng said is that a certain person will start preparations here, and this notice will be notified by a certain person who is in charge of the Iron Blood Army General, and the rest will be notified by Deputy Envoy Zheng on his behalf, and this matter must be kept strictly confidential, and there must not be the slightest leakage before the matter is passed out."

This night, the lights of Daxingtai Mansion were bright, and the lights in the study of the palace not far away were never extinguished.

On this night, Li Rupei was not the only one who couldn't sleep. (To be continued......)
