Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 120 Li Linfu's Resentment
Li Linfu's old face twitched for a moment. How can someone like Yang Guozhong run the country?Can it still make Datang rich and powerful?
"Your Majesty, the national treasury is abundant, which is rare in ancient and modern times. Your Majesty is one of the emperors who surpassed Emperor Taizong." Yang Guozhong hurriedly patted the horse and said.

"Nonsense, how can I compare with Taizong Zhenguan." Although he was reprimanded like this, everyone could hear the joy in Tang Xuanzong's words.Yes, the Zhenguan prosperous age during Taizong's period was as rich and powerful as his Kaiyuan Tianbao prosperous age?Although as a descendant of the next generation, I dare not say that he surpassed Taizong, but at least he can be equal to Taizong.

Tang Xuanzong was extremely satisfied with being so contented in his heart, and he was even more satisfied with Yang Guozhong.

It is said that Tang Xuanzong trusted Li Linfu, which made Li Linfu the longest serving prime minister in the history of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, there are crucial reasons.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was self-weary in politics and focused on luxury and pleasure.As an emperor, there are piles of memorials and various government affairs every day, so how can there be so much time for enjoyment.Li Linfu was able to help Tang Xuanzong deal with the government affairs of the memorial, so that Tang Xuanzong could be freed from the daily heavy government affairs and have a lot of time to enjoy himself. This is the most important reason why Li Linfu has always been trusted and always sat on the position of prime minister.

And if you want to enjoy luxury and enjoyment, in addition to being free from the daily heavy government affairs, you also need the household department to have enough money to spend lavishly, so you need someone who can amass money to be in charge of the household department. Among the six departments, the original official department was the first. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of War were equal, but because Tang Xuanzong needed money from the Ministry of Accounts for his enjoyment, the importance of the Ministry of Accounts gradually overshadowed the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War.

The reason why Wang Yu and Yang Guozhong were trusted and had great power was because they were in charge of the household department. Tang Xuanzong valued talents who could increase the income of the household department.

Therefore, Yang Guozhong's move brought hundreds of warehouses of cloth and copper coins. Why is Tang Xuanzong not excited and not paying more attention to Yang Guozhong? With so much money, it means that Tang Xuanzong will be able to enjoy it even more lavishly in the future.

"Gao Lishi, pass on my will. Today's entourage will be rewarded according to their grades." Tang Xuanzong laughed out of joy, and with a big wave of his hand, a bunch of rewards went down, as if he saw a share.

"Your Majesty is a sage, Yang Guozhong is the pillar of the country." The first people who jumped out were those who followed Yang Guozhong, that is to please Tang Xuanzong, and the second half of the sentence took the opportunity to raise Yang Guozhong's status.

No one who can be an official in the court is a fool. Yang Guozhong is getting more and more powerful. Some people who were on the sidelines all expressed their favor to Yang Guozhong, and even some people who followed Li Linfu but were not reused were a little wavering.

Tang Xuanzong was very happy. He valued Yang Guozhong more and more, and he didn't care about others raising Yang Guozhong in front of him. Originally, Yang Guozhong was so able to amass money that he was the pillar of the country in his heart.

Yang Guozhong was so happy that his whole body was a little swayed, as if he had already surpassed Li Linfu.

Most of the people present were very happy with the reward assigned by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, enjoying themselves happily.

Li Fei looked on coldly. Although he also received a lot of rewards, everyone smiled on the surface, but in fact he was not smiling, and he was not at all happy in his heart. Instead, he felt very sad. The sorrow of the Tang Dynasty and the people .

A king who has lived in the illusion of the past and has enjoyed himself for more than ten years is not subject to persuasion. There have been many people who have been persuaded before, demoted and demoted, so Li Fei never thought of exhorting Tang Xuanzong.

Tang Xuanzong used to spend a lot of money before, but now that Yang Guozhong came here, good guy, he got hundreds of warehouses of "money" at once, giving Tang Xuanzong the impression that the Tang Dynasty was too rich to spend. Undoubtedly, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty must be more extravagant in the future, treating money like dung. Just now, Li Fei made a rough calculation, and at least rewarded everyone with half a year's salary at once, and hundreds of thousands and nearly a million were gone.

Three days later, Li Fei came out from the palace and brought back a reward worth at least one hundred thousand guan.

The reason why he got so many rewards is that Li Fei dedicated the piano that he just got out recently.

The piano is not difficult. During this period, Persia, Europe and other places already had the predecessor of the piano. Even because of the opening of the Tang Dynasty, a few were passed down to the Tang Dynasty, but it did not form a complete piano, and the sound quality was better than that of China. Guzheng is still far away. After hundreds of years of evolution, the piano in the true sense will appear and begin its glory in the music world.

Li Fei just used his own knowledge of the piano's structure and theory to improve the piano's predecessor and make the piano ahead of time.However, Li Fei also spent thousands of dollars for such an improvement.

Concubine Yang Guifei, the godmother, likes music and dancing, and naturally shows an extraordinary love for the piano, the overlord of musical instruments, and never leaves her hand when she gets it.Tang Xuanzong also liked the piano very much.Li Guinian is worthy of being a genius in the music circle of the Tang Dynasty, and soon played a real piano piece with the piano, and even wrote the piano score, which Tang Xuanzong would also play according to the piano score.

To be loved by Concubine Yang and Tang Xuanzong at the same time, coupled with Li Guinian's admiration, Tang Xuanzong just got the "money" to defeat the warehouse.

Holding such a generous reward, Li Fei felt hot, because he felt that what he was holding was the blood and bone marrow accumulated in the prosperous age. One day, the blood and bone marrow in this prosperous age would be drained, and the prosperous age would be as thin as a body. .

Hey--

Another few days passed.

In the prime minister's mansion, Li Linfu's face became more and more gloomy.He already knew that Tang Xuanzong had suspicions about him, and now he trusted and valued Yang Guozhong more and more. Even if he caught Yang Guozhong's handle, Tang Xuanzong would still favor Yang Guozhong.If it goes on like this, Yang Guozhong will definitely replace him as prime minister in a short time.

Li Linfu just felt very sad at this time. He has been the prime minister for nearly 20 years. Since the 26th year of Kaiyuan, he has helped Tang Xuanzong handle many government affairs. After the 29th year of Kaiyuan, he has directly helped Tang Xuanzong handle almost all government affairs. He read and reviewed the mountainous memorials, and supervised the implementation of each measure. Without his hard work, it would be impossible for Tang Xuanzong to be freed from such heavy government affairs to enjoy.

He has worked hard without credit, but now he is jealous. Yang Guozhong was born as a gangster, so why is he qualified to take over the position of prime minister? He has helped Tang Xuanzong handle government affairs for so many years, and the position of prime minister is what he should be Sitting, no one should threaten him, Tang Xuanzong should also face him, how can he face Yang Guozhong.

Besides, without his support back then, Yang Guozhong would not be where he is today.
