Chapter 584
Zhu Dian only stayed in Luoyang for one night, and left the next day.

There is no need to stay in Luoyang anymore, and Wei Shi's reply also expressed the action of the "love screen" princess, and achieved his goal.

There are many people who want to make friends, and some people are waiting to see. Unlike Lingzhou, this place is under the eyes of the emperor, so he hesitated.Hearing that Zhu Dian left immediately, they were very surprised.

But this added another barrel of oil to the fierce struggle between the court and the court.

There are not many people who can sense that there will be major changes in the country. Except for some sincere cronies, there will not be more than five people who can intuitively feel it.

It's not that the ministers are not wise, it's that since ancient times, the empress who dared to murder the emperor, almost looked through the history books, but couldn't find it.

Emperor Hui of Jin was like this, and Jia Nanfeng only killed the prince, and did not dare to poison his husband.

It was the death of Li Zhi, and there were many rumors from the outside world.But these ministers knew clearly in their hearts that someone deliberately discredited Wu Zetian. In fact, Li Zhi really died of illness.Li has been treating illnesses for more than ten years, and Wu Zetian almost covered the sky with one hand in the court, and her heart was vicious and decisive, even worse than Webster's, she dared not lay hands on her husband.Besides, Webster.

Therefore, seeing the emperor's "awakening", one by one cheered up and began to fight against the Wei party.This is good, but Wei Dang is not necessarily talented, and Qingliu is not necessarily talented.The same goes for good and bad.Some look farther and can see more things.Some just followed behind to join in the fun.

Anyone who the Wei Party approves immediately opposes it.Whatever the Wei Party opposes, it immediately agrees with.

As a result, court affairs cannot be judged even more, and official documents from the three provinces and six ministries have piled up like a mountain, making the situation worse.

On the morning of the third day, Zhang Jiuling and Yan Tingzhi looked at each other when they saw that the ministers were arguing again.

They were thinking about what Zhu Dian said to them the night before: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Yan, you don't believe what I said, and Mr. Wang is your uncle, and you don't believe it either. It doesn't matter. The three Zhuge brothers have their own plans. The three masters are passed down as historical tales. But you have memorized a sentence that Mr. Wang said, great loyalty is like traitor, and great traitor is like loyalty. When you go to the court, open your eyes wide and see that the so-called Qingliu is trying to please the master. Are you seeking to get promoted and get rich, or are you really thinking about the country and doing practical things?"

Seeing the situation in the court like this, the eyes of both of them were a little sad.

But because of Wang Hua, they didn't dare to intervene, and they didn't want to participate this time.

At this moment, Dou Congyi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have this performance."

"Come on," Li Xian said weakly.

"The day before yesterday, Wang Hua sent his staff member Zhu Dian to Luoyang with a grand gift to present to His Majesty, intending to propose to the princess. Now Wang Hua has nearly 23 soldiers in Lingzhou, 100 prefectures, and more than [-] million people. It seems to be broken and connected, and it is a serious disease of the country. In my opinion, it is better to let him marry the princess as he wished, in order to attract the imperial court, and let him and his elite soldiers return to the embrace of the imperial court. This is the top priority .”

It should be seen from the outside that Wang Hua is very sincere this time. 99 exquisite inkstones, implying eternal life.None of these inkstones are of ordinary quality, the lowest one on the market is worth nearly a hundred guan, and the highest one is close to a thousand guan.Even if such a high price is the same as that of a Zhuge pen in Xuanzhou worth ten gold (about eighty taels), there is still no market for it.

The total price of these boxes of inkstones is more than [-] yuan.

There are other perfumes, regardless of the small volume, the price may still be higher than the inkstone.

In the Tang Dynasty, Liangzhou was the first, and Taiyuan was the second.However, after being enlightened by Wang Hua's wonderful hand, now the skill of the 氍毹 is faintly on par with Dashi.Of course, it’s not that there is no market for Dashi pottery. This is an exotic style, just like Dashi pottery, which is obviously not as good as Tang Dynasty porcelain, but there are also Tang Dynasty people who spend money to buy it back for enjoyment.Later, when Wang Hua went to the northwest, Huizhou, Shanzhou, and Lanzhou were not far from Liangzhou. They already had the basis for making 氍毹, so Wang Hua made another suggestion.Lingzhou, which came from behind, is now as famous as Taiyuan Liangzhou, and it is also a key profitable project in 23 states.

This time Wang Hua brought dozens of carts, all of which were high-quality products, and the total price would reach tens of thousands of dollars.

But this time Wang Hua had his intentions, and this move was for advertising.Wool comes from sheep.

As for the horses, not to mention the price of 20 excellent war horses, even these old and wounded horses in Luoyang cost no less than a dozen coins, and the total price reached more than [-] coins.

But compared with the dozens of carts of gems, corals and high-end glass products, it may be far behind, especially the two carts of gems, all of which are precious rubies, sapphires and emeralds, as well as bright colored treasures ( Opal), and even a few chunks of chalcedony were seen.

This is begging Li Guer, if you are begging other people, whether it is looking around in Guanzhong, or ten families with seven surnames, put these betrothal gifts at the door, and the patriarchs of these families can call out all the unmarried girls in the family, Let them choose.

This time, nearly 80 yuan was spent.

Li Hong once complained to Wang Hua for this, and Wang Hua said: "Wechsler would have been suspicious if he hadn't been so polite."

Although a lot of money was spent, it is still insignificant compared to the court's "pension".Besides, Wang Hua is not short of money now, the finances of the 23 states are gradually balanced, and the benefits brought by Oceania, Wang Hua dare not speak out, for fear of being jealous.

Even if it costs a sum of money, it is not too much compared to affecting the national fortune.

In fact, Li Hong has not yet understood that although Oceania is developing rapidly, the main export target is the Tang Dynasty. It is still a dodder before it can walk independently.

After Dou Cong finished speaking one by one, the court fell silent.

No matter how much they argue, Wang Hua's placement has become a big taboo in Qingliu Zhuoliu's heart.

Even Qingliu didn't dare to come to two Fans like before. After all, the reason why Wang Hua fled to the northwest was mainly caused by Webster's killing of him.But there is another reason, because of Wu Zetian's three-year agreement, she never married Li Bao'er.Otherwise, once he becomes Li Gu'er's real husband, Webster will have some remnants. Zong Chuke and the Wei family also have scruples when they want to frame Wang Hua, so things will not turn into the worst.

It turned out that he opposed it because he considered the face of the court, and the alliance under the city was not counted. If the princess was married off, the country's face would be thrown to Java.

Now that the peace agreement has been concluded, Wang Hua has accepted the order from the imperial court, the racecourse has been handed over, and the officials have successfully entered the 23 prefectures. To subsidize" the cost, Wang Huahui will hand over some of the murder weapons and artillery to the court.It's just because the technology is not mature, and the number of 23 states itself is insufficient, and it will not be until the next year.All in all, this is a positive development.Otherwise, Wang Hua would definitely not agree to give up part of this weapon to the court.

Besides, he also has a reason, the Tibetans have not yet been subdued, the princess has not been brought back, and he himself needs a lot of weapons.

Therefore, at this time, the conditions for marrying a princess are ripe, even if you want to object, you can't object.

Besides, even Qingliu knew that Wang Hua couldn't be offended at this time.With such a powerful force, he is now sitting on the sidelines, but if he falls to that side, that side will immediately add an extremely heavy weight.Even if Wang Hua intends to support Li Chongfu, Li Chongfu will be able to join this competition and become a powerful character.

But all the spirit is still deep in the bones.If it is proposed by their own side, they will naturally strongly support it.As soon as Dou Cong raised it, these people were not happy.For a few people, there is another reason, that is, Li Chiying heard that the Blood Camp intends to make her the mistress in Lingzhou. Once Li Bao'er and Wang Hua get married, this will become a variable that cannot be ignored.

I still support it, why not, and immediately sent an imperial envoy to inquire, if Wang Hua agreed, more than half of the mansion in Luoyang belonged to the princess, and the court would spend money to renovate it and make it a son-in-law mansion, so that Wang Hua could go to Beijing to get married.

Dou Cong thought it was nonsense, don't look at Wang Hua is now the Northwest King, someone has a weapon in his hand, that is the king.When he arrived in Luoyang, he was nothing. He might become a fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others. Can he go back to Luoyang to get married?

But according to the rules it is necessary to do so.Dou Congyi had nothing to say.

He sat down and said nothing, and the matter, as efficiently as before, was declared fruitless.

Later, when Li Dan found out about it, he regretted it too much.

Li Longji found two good helpers, Wang Maozhong and Li Yide, Gong and Princess Taiping's two sons, Xue Chongxun and Xue Chongxuan, and under Gao Lishi's secret matchmaking, they reconnected with a group of low-level generals of the Habayashi Army.

But this time it was done in a very secretive way, meeting each other tacitly, and then drinking and prostitutes together, or competing in skills.

Both Wang Maozhong and Li Yide are enemies of a hundred people. According to Wang Hua, they are masters of martial arts, and their skills are not inferior to those of the demon monk Hui Fan who was killed by Wang Hua.The ability of the two people immediately aroused the admiration of these generals.But these two people are very good at being human. For example, when they met for archery, they intentionally shot to a tie with these people. Everyone carried the bridal sedan chair. It was Ma Chao, but no one had the vision to recognize him, so he was buried.

It made the girls who were drinking at the side feel blush.

Then generously pay for them.

Because the faces of these two people are very strange, although they are on guard against Princess Taiping, they are not as serious as against Li Dan and his son.They all thought that Wang and Li were followers of Princess Taiping's sect, plus they were like a bunch of playboys, although someone noticed them, they immediately let them go.

In this way, some generals at the grassroots level were gradually gathered in their hands.

This allowed Li Dan and Princess Taiping to see a glimmer of light, but their original strength was weakened, and their strength in the Habayashi Army was still very weak.Moreover, these people may not be reliable, and they are willing to accompany them when they drink flowers and wine, but they may not be willing to work hard to make them willing to achieve great things with him.

Of course, as soon as Wang Hua intervened and gained confidence in his heart, the generals of the Habayashi Army would immediately change their attitudes.

So Li Dan needs time.

He could tell at a glance what drama Webster was singing, and he just took advantage of the contradictions in the court to make the princess's marriage unsuccessful, and showed Wang Hua's gesture.

If I knew this earlier, I might as well instruct everyone to agree together to see what this sister-in-law will do and whether she will marry Li Baoer to Lingzhou.

Webster got this effect and got his wish.

She immediately sent someone to Lingzhou, told Wang Hua about the matter, and promised again that at the end of this year, she would overcome the opposition of the ministers and marry Bao'er to him.Then he said more bluntly: "Not only will you marry, but after a hundred years of being alone with your majesty, you will hand over the country to Bao'er to govern. With your great talent, you will be the right arm of Bao'er. After these things, the king is right. Bao'er is still in his mind, which makes Gu very regretful and moved, and the happiest thing is that Jun's feelings for Bao'er, seeing this, Gu is also relieved."

Wang Hua still said the same thing, don't be too polite, you said you want to discuss marriage, I sent so many things there, and now it's your turn, I believe you will marry Bao'er.

After receiving Wang Hua's reply, Webster did not get angry because of Wang Hua's toughness, but found Li Xian instead.The two sat down to talk about Li Gu'er.Li Xian also agreed in his heart that Li Bao'er married Wang Hua. Since Wang Hua valued his daughter so much, through his daughter, he could tie up Wang Hua's fierce horse a little bit, and not let him run too far.

But when his wife opened her mouth, Li Xian became suspicious, not knowing what his wife was planning, so he didn't say anything.

So Webster sent another person to Lingzhou to tell Wang Hua that he had talked with His Majesty alone and persuaded him, but His Majesty would not speak.Or do you have any good way?

These two times, Webster's calculations were very accurate, and his understanding of people's hearts reached the extreme. In this way, if Wang Hua wanted to blame him, he could just blame Li Dan and others' subordinates, or Li Xian.This also laid the foundation for the next plan.

But her fate was not good, and Wang Hua knew how Li Xian died in history, and also knew that she sold the blood camp in disregard of the country, and heard from her own words that she sent someone to teach the sword and arrow on the Tianjin Bridge. make.

So no matter what Wang Hua arranges, she is a person who must die.All of her little cleverness played the piano to the cow.

Wang Hua continued to pretend to be crazy, and said, what is the best way for the minister, maybe let the minister go to Luoyang.Don't tell me that I will be safe and sound when I arrive in Luoyang.

After finishing speaking, he took out the two death-avoiding gold medals and placed them in front of the eunuch.

The eunuch had no choice but to leave again. Although Webster sent people to come these two times and did not hear Wang Hua's exact reply, it was different from the first time. These two times were very high-profile, and almost everyone knew about it.

Similarly, Webster also achieved his goal, but Wang Hua did not support it. Because of the two exchanges, others would think that Wang Hua and Webster made some kind of deal.At least this potential influence is in her hands.

At the end of winter, when the second group of people returned to Luoyang, another person also arrived in the capital.

Song Jing just arrived in Qinzhou, and many people were very suspicious.

Of course, Da Song’s ability to collect money is definitely not as good as Wang Hua. Wang Hua not only collects money, but mainly raises money. When the two are combined, the money will roll into a snowball. With money in hand, it will be easy to do things.

But Da Song has the specialty of Da Song, clean government and loving the people, he will not collect money, but he can protect Wang Hua's several financial resources well.That is, after Wang Hua appeared in Lingzhou, the court came down to check the assets, and joined forces with the Taiyuan Wang family and other families to send the court people away.

Another point is that under his rule, officials are more honest and government agencies are more effective.

The two people governed in different ways, just like Bao Zheng governed Kaifeng with rigor and Ouyang Xiu governed Kaifeng with tranquility, both achieved good results.

It didn't take three years, only three months, and the people of Qinzhou finally felt what it means to have feet.

In the past few years, Qinzhou has been under great rule, and the tax paid last year reached more than 200 million yuan, almost double that of Guangzhou.It's not that Qinzhou has more money than Guangzhou, it's because of corruption.

But Da Song was also very sad in his heart, too many things happened in the court.The first was the death of the five kings, and even Old Wei would have been forced to death if Wang Hua hadn't advised him.When Wang Hua returned to the capital, he hardly said a word.But that's it, forced to leave the palace.

Wang Hua has the ability to break out of the palace, can he do it by himself?It is estimated that a soldier grabbed his small arms and legs when he came up (Song Jing is very thin).

But he did not doubt Wang Hua, but he knew that Wang Hua's attitude towards the court did not have the respect shown by a courtier.Even when Wang Hua sent troops to Chang'an, he still had no doubts.I wrote a letter later, mainly because Qi Wanghua blackmailed the court too much.

No matter what, now that he is in Qinzhou, he can't think of Shu very much, the people love him, and he is far away from the imperial court, so he realizes what a wonderful path Wang Hua arranged for himself.

But all of this was broken by an imperial decree from the imperial court.

He didn't dare to disobey the imperial decree, so he had to dawdle and start to leave.

The people of Qinzhou were not happy when they heard this.

It used to be that Qinzhou was very backward, but now there is a port, and businessmen from all over the world live here, and the news is very well-informed.Only then did they know that there were not many good officials like Wang Hua and Da Song in the entire Tang Dynasty, almost very few.Not only two in a row, but encountering one is a rare thing in hundreds of years.

Finally, the first good official came, and he was called back to Beijing in a short time.Call back to Beijing to use it, but send a thousand troops to kill.Now the second good official has been called away.This time, Beijing still doesn't know what happened.

Because the area under his jurisdiction is more than ten times larger than that of Wang Hua, and there are more people. They once again covered the sky and covered the sun and fell on both sides of the road. It was even more spectacular than the scene of sending Wang Hua back then. They knelt on the ground together to prevent Da Song from leaving.

This time Da Song finally felt Wang Hua's mood that day.Originally, I was very envious, but when it actually happened to me, I also felt very uncomfortable.

After persuading them one by one, they walked for more than half a day from the city to the port before boarding the boat.

The sails were pulled up, and the cries on both sides of the bank were like mourning.

Not only Qinzhou, but all the prefectures that were assigned to Qinzhou, and the people in every prefecture and county spontaneously set up a shrine for the Great Song Dynasty.There are dozens of ancestral halls in one county, and the newly appointed governor of Qinzhou was very frightened when he saw this scene. He wanted to extend his hand, but he forcibly held back.

The farewell this time was also a major event that caused a sensation in the government and the public.Wang Hua won the hearts and minds of the people, but also with a strong nature of money, although he does not deny his ability to govern.But for the traditional scholar-bureaucrats, they somewhat looked down on this kind of governance.

But the Great Song Dynasty is the people's heart that has been governed in a down-to-earth manner.

Reminiscent of Wang Hua's list, there is another person, Lao Yao who stayed in Bozhou, and also managed the people in a smooth manner.

This is the style of the real name.

Before the Song Dynasty arrived in the capital, the people all over the world were eagerly waiting.

When the boat arrived in Yangzhou, it was transferred to a small river boat.But he didn't expect to be discovered by people, and many people gathered around to watch.

There are dozens of people in Wang Hua's list, but ordinary people can't remember it, they only know that Wang Hua said that Song Jing and Yao Chongzhi should be the top of the world when it comes to the talents of prime ministers.They all want to see what the first Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty looks like.There's actually nothing to look at, an ordinary skinny scribe.Talent is placed in the stomach, it is invisible and intangible.

But the common people don't think so. Seeing that Da Song is about to go to Beijing to be the prime minister, but he is dressed in coarse cloth, which is more plain than his own.Everyone was very pleasing to the eye, even the wrinkles at the corners of Da Song's eyes seemed to be shining with a loving light.

There were more and more people watching, Da Song had no choice but to surrender, and quickly ordered the owner to drive the boat away.

But the arrival of the Song Dynasty finally brought the temperature to a critical point, causing the gunpowder to finally explode.
