Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 410
The area around Bianzhou is a great plain, and the borders of prefectures and counties are also great plains. The contrast in farming among the people is the most obvious.

Because of the occupation of Bianzhou area by Li Fei, the people here are not only exempt from tax and corvee, but also distribute grain seeds and farm tools for free, and distribute one cattle to every four households. The rice grain to feed the family, the people's livelihood is truly stable.

However, on this same great plain, Lankao County was under the rule of the Tang court. It was also an area ravaged by wars for several years. To the slightest move of the Tang court to restore people's livelihood, not to mention the tax exemption for many years, the distribution of grain and cattle, and the increase of taxes, it will kill the people!

The common people are also separated by an official road. The people under the rule of King Beiping, such as Bianzhou and Chenliu, have so many benefits. As for the people under the rule, why is there such a big difference? The Tang court is really disappointing.

There is a contrast to show the gap even more.

Not only the places south of the Yellow River that are close to Bianzhou, Chenliu and other areas ruled by Li Fei, but also the people in Hedong who are close to Hebei also saw huge changes in the livelihood of the people in Hebei.

It is also an area ravaged by the anti-military forces. Why can the people's livelihood in Hebei be restored quickly, while the people in Hedong are still suffering unspeakably? deathly.

It is conceivable that people in the two places had the same experience and the same misery, but one side quickly resumed production and life and received a lot of benefits, while the other side was even more miserable than before.

This has to make people aggrieved and angry.

why is that!
Because one side is ruled by Li Fei, the king of Peking, and the other is the incompetent Tang court.

In such a contrast, Li Fei's reputation among the people is increasing day by day, while the reputation of the Tang court is declining day by day, Li Fei is getting more and more popular.

Luoyang City.

Through Jin Yiwei's information, Li Fei learned of the changes in the people, and the hearts of the people became more and more towards him.

"As expected by this king, if things go on like this, it will take less than two years for the hearts of the people to return to this king. At that time, the Tang court will really be powerless, and it will be the time when this king will replace Datang."

"My lord is so talented, he will rule the world!" A Niu complimented.

"You still need to add fire. You send people to spread rumors in Chang'an. Qi Guo Gong Lu Jiong is friendly with this king, and this king has the grace to save his life——"

If Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were unworldly famous generals during the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, then Lu Jiong belongs to the second echelon of the "General" level. Although Guo Ziyi has not yet played for Li Fei, he is still living in Liaoyang City, and Li Guangbi has already Serving Li Fei, the only generals who can still lead the Tang Dynasty are Lu Jiong and others with some talent.

Because of An Lushan's relationship, the Tang court's distrust of the leading generals was inexplicable. Li Fei could make the Tang court abandon Lu Jiong with a little provocation, just like Li Guangbi back then.

"Yes, my lord!"

In just three days, a rumor spread throughout Chang'an City.

The Jiedu Envoy of Shannan Road guarding Tongguan, Lu Jiong, Duke of Qi State, because Li Fei saved his life when he broke the siege of Nanyang, privately made good friends with Li Fei, King of Peking. Open the gate of Tongguan and surrender to Li Fei, the king of Peking.

Regardless of whether other people believe this rumor or not, at least Suzong Li Heng believed it after hearing it.

"Tongguan has always been guarded by Lu Jiong. If Li Fei really rebels, once Lu Jiong opens the door, the Tang Dynasty will be over!" Suzong Li Heng was very flustered, his face turned pale, and he subconsciously suspected Lu Jiong.

"Your Majesty, or another capable general will guard Tongguan to ensure that Tongguan is not lost." Li Fuguo may not necessarily be suspicious of Lu Jiong, but Lu Jiong has never dealt with him, and he also has plans to suppress Lu Jiong.

Immediately, Suzong Li Hengzhen issued an imperial decree to transfer Lu Jiong back to Chang'an City, and Li Fuguo proposed a general named Sun Jingyang to guard Tongguan.

This general named Sun Jingyang is not so talented or how capable of leading troops, but because he is a member of Li Fuguo's party and listens to Li Fuguo's words.

Due to the absolute trust of Emperor Suzong Li Heng, Li Fuguo ruled out dissidents and planted confidants. There were more and more party members. Some state officials and county officials even only needed to bribe some money. place.

Yu Chaoen is second only to Li Fuguo, Suzong Liheng's second trusted eunuch, Li Fuguo has developed so many party members, in order not to be completely suppressed by Li Fuguo, Yu Chaoen is naturally not far behind, relying on Suzong With Li Heng's trust, he continued to place his confidants and develop his own party members.

To become the party members of the two eunuchs Li Fuguo and Yu Chaoen, one does not have to have much talent, one just needs to curry favor with Li Fuguo and Yu Chaoen, and just listen to them. The Tang dynasty is getting darker.

To say that the only one with a little clarity is Lin Siming's party.

Naturally, Lin Siming could not be trusted by Suzong Li Heng. Instead, he was suppressed by Suzong Li Heng, Li Fuguo, and Yu Chaoen. Li Heng, or Li Fuguo, Yu Chaoen did not dare to give Li Fei any excuse to rebel.

So even if they suppress Lin Siming, they can only do so if there is an absolute reason. If there is no reason, Lin Siming will 'struggle with reason'.Even if Lin Siming finds some excuses, he will put pressure on Suzong Li Heng to force Suzong Li Heng to submit.

Some people who were unwilling to take refuge in Li Fuguo and Yu Chaoen, the two eunuchs, had to take refuge in Lin Siming's command in order to protect themselves wisely, relying on Lin Siming's influence to settle down.

There were also many upright ministers who were originally suppressed, but were forcibly saved by Lin Siming. Whether they wanted to or not, in Suzong Li Heng's eyes, they were all branded with Lin Siming's mark and became Lin Siming's party.

Lin Siming's henchmen, Suzong Li Heng, Li Fuguo, and Yu Chaoen, as long as there is no absolute excuse, they dare not move.

Compared with the "activity" of Li Fuguo and Yu Chaoen's two parties, Lin Siming's party is basically quiet.

Lin Siming just watched Li Fuguo and Yu Chaoen's 'quarreling'. Anyway, he knew Li Fei's plan, and knew that Li Fei would succeed if this continued. However, eunuchs also have psychological defects because of their physical defects, and their psychology is dark, which also leads the government to a darker point.
