Chapter 4480 Power Transfer
In the early winter of the 18th year of Zhenguan, Xiao Yu, Duke of the Song Dynasty, became an official and led his family and servants back to the south of the Yangtze River, announcing the end of an era.
In the 13th year of the great cause, the flames of battle between heroes ignited all over China, and the Great Sui Empire was crumbling. Emperor Gaozu was too far away to see the world. Under the persuasion of his sons, he decided to rebel against the Sui the fifth day of the seventh lunar month, Emperor Gaozu himself led [-] soldiers to swear an oath, under the banner of "Aiming to Respect the Sui Dynasty", marched into Chang'an, so "the hero broke Yingmo, and it was decided from then on."
In the winter of the same year, Li Shimin, king of Qin, led troops westward to attack Xueju. On the way to Hechi, Xiao Yu, who was degraded as the prefect of Hechi at that time, treated each other with a family banquet. Then he took his family and went to Chang'an, where he went to Gaozu Li Yuan.
Emperor Gaozu greeted each other with joy, hosted a banquet, conferred Doctor Guanglu, granted the title of Duke of Song, and paid homage to Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs...
Since then, Xiao Yu has been firmly in the center of the Tang Empire. Even though he was repeatedly reviled and dismissed during the Zhenguan Dynasty, he was able to return to his post soon after, and he has always been in the center of power and never fell down.
It can be said that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Yu represented the power that has continued to this day. After Zhenguan and the first year of the new emperor's accession to the throne, Xiao Yu resigned from office and retired to the countryside, which also means An era that has continued since the founding of the country has come to an end.
New Emperor, New Deal, New Era.
The wheels of the empire roll forward, crushing all obstacles, unstoppable.
*****
With the retirement of Fang Xuanling, the death of Cen Wenwen, and the retirement of Xiao Yu, the end of an era is also the beginning of an era. Liu Ji, Xu Jingzong, Ma Zhou, Cui Dunli and other newcomers came to power, and the handover of the central power of the empire was completed amidst the turmoil At the same time, drastic reforms have also begun to be carried out for the long-standing abuses in previous government affairs.
From top to bottom, with each passing day.
However, during a series of vigorous new policy reforms in the imperial court, Fang Jun, the emperor's confidant and the leader of "Benhe" meritorious service, was very low-key. Except for occasional appearances in the process of forming the left and right Jinwu Guards, he was rarely seen participating in it.
This is also Fang Jun's strategy of grasping military power and delegating government affairs, and at the same time got Li Chengqian's tacit approval.
After all, a king is a king, no matter how weak his character is, he is still a king. When he ascends the throne and dominates the world, the imperial power is the bottom line that cannot be touched. Fang Jun didn't want to usurp the throne for a day, so he had to make a choice between military power and government affairs. Otherwise, if he had to grasp both hands, and both hands were hard, he could only create a gap with Li Chengqian and alienate the monarch and his ministers.
Instead, he hid behind the scenes to advise Li Chengqian, but it could make the monarch and his ministers united and harmonious. Li Chengqian stood in front of the stage and lashed out at Fang Qiu, so the monarch and his ministers would win each other.
……
The convoy leaves Mingdemen, passes through Fengqiyuan along the official road, and heads south along the side of the Jushui River to Mount Zhongnan. The attitude is leisurely, relaxed and happy.
Fang Jun rode his horse and followed the gorgeously decorated carriage, talking to Princess Changle who lifted the curtain to reveal her beautiful side face...
"Your Highness should have gone out of the city to live in Zhongnan Mountain for a while. The palace is currently under construction everywhere. It is trying to restore it to a messy and noisy place. It is not a livable place. It will not be too late to return to the palace during the Chinese New Year. .”
After the Great War, the Taiji Palace was severely damaged, and various palaces were being repaired and constructed. He also held the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry, but palace construction was not his specialty, so he delegated power to the lower levels. The design drawings are usually day and night, and the craftsmen are supervised.
After all, building a palace is not only about political achievements, but also about personal interests. Whether it is contacts or money, every official desires. It is not easy to meet Fang Jun, a senior official who is willing to delegate power. Everyone is grateful .
And Fang Jun is only responsible for managing the account books and calculating expenses. As long as the accounts are not too greedy, he will turn a blind eye and close his eyes. He can actually relax when the court is busy...
"Thank you, Duke Yue, for thinking about it."
The corner of Princess Changle's mouth twitched, her voice was a bit yin and yang.
After all, this guy has long been thinking about letting her go out of the palace and go to Zhongnan Mountain Taoist Temple to live temporarily, not only to let her have leisure, but also to facilitate this guy to steal incense and jade...
Fang Jun held the reins, chuckled, and said brazenly: "Your Highness's phoenix body is important, how dare I not do my best? But didn't His Highness Jinyang clamor to go to Zhongnan Mountain together before, why didn't he accompany him today?"
Princess Changle snorted and scolded this guy for being shameless, but then she frowned again and said worriedly: "Sizi is ready, but when I was about to leave, I was called by the emperor, saying that it is these days Successively, many people entered the palace to talk about matchmaking, telling Sizi not to move around, and if any family's children enter the palace, let Sizi meet."
Now Princess Jinyang's marriage has become a serious problem for the royal family. A few years ago when the father was still alive, he was concerned about his weak body and bones, and couldn't bear to marry her off. Getting bigger day by day, but the powerful family members suffered heavy losses one after another, it is hard to find a child from a well-matched family.
But we can't continue to shelve it, can we?
Almost an old girl...
Fang Junqi said: "Didn't His Highness Jinyang still have to observe filial piety for three years?"
The carriage happened to pass by a pit, and the carriage jolted a little. Princess Changle in the carriage gave a soft cry, held the window with her hand, and then said: "It is natural to observe filial piety, but Brother Huang means to settle the marriage first." , wait until the filial piety period expires before getting married, otherwise it will be even more difficult to find a good match after three years when the son is old."
Having said that, I couldn't help but glance at Fang Jun outside the car, with a slight complaint in his eyes.
If it weren't for the rumors about this guy and Sizi being spread outside the world, making all the children of the aristocratic family avoid Sizi like a tiger, how could Sizi's marriage be delayed until now?
I don't know if this guy has a little idea in his heart, after all, this guy's reputation as a "good princess" is well known all over the world. It is said that Chai Lingwu and his brother raised troops to help the king of Jin in his rebellion. The person who is in charge of the Chai family is all due to Princess Baling coming to the door and begging this person...
Do you really want to catch Princess Datang all at once?
Hmph, shameless...
Fang Jun didn't take it seriously: "Marriage is determined by nature, why is there such a rush? The emperor's daughter is still worried about getting married? On the contrary, she got married in a hurry to get married, and failed to carefully select others. behind."
He can almost be regarded as watching Princess Jinyang grow up. The little girl is bright and clever, but she is also full of personality. Jump.
Emperor Taizong regarded Princess Jinyang as the apple of his eye when he was alive, and his elder brothers and sisters were also like treasures, and now he is more spoiled than before. If she plays a temper, there is almost no one in the world who can control her.
All in all, if Jin Yang wants to marry, the candidate must be decided by herself, she can't see it, even the emperor can't make a decision...
Princess Changle couldn't help but coquettishly said: "If you hadn't spoiled her so much, how could you have cultivated her current arrogant character? Now, every time you encounter something unwilling, you will be carried out. You are the dignified Duke of Yue, Prince Shaofu Backing her up, even the emperor brother will give some face, it's almost lawless!"
Fang Jun rode and rode, Youzai Youzai, smiled and said: "Your Highness, what you said is unreasonable. His Highness Jinyang is my sister-in-law. What's wrong with my brother-in-law doting on my sister-in-law and supporting her? This person is the most important person." Family love, not only doting on my sister-in-law, but also on my sister-in-law, you have always greeted His Highness, when you are too tired and don't want to move..."
"Shut up!"
Princess Changle in the carriage had a pretty white face as red as a fire, like a boiled crab. Hearing that this dog couldn't spit out ivory, it was getting more and more shameless. hide.
How can this man say anything?Shame to death...
"Ha ha!"
Fang Jun let out a hearty laugh, jumped on his horse and raised his whip, and drove south with the convoy, bypassing Taiyi Palace in the evening, and arrived at a Taoist temple not far away.
At this time, the early winter is cold, foggy and swampy, the mountains and forests are cold, and the world is quiet.
The Taoist temple is hidden in the mountains and forests, like a fairyland outside the world. When the convoy arrived at the gate, the soldiers in charge of guarding had already stepped forward to greet them. into the temple.
To this day, Princess Changle often comes to this Taoist temple in Zhongnan Mountain every time she leaves the palace. It is not so much for health and Taoism, as it is for private rendezvous and the blending of yin and yang...
At night, the mountain wind is majestic, the birds are screaming, and the valley is quiet.
One morning, after Fang Jun washed up and had breakfast, he bid farewell to Princess Changle and rode down the mountain surrounded by his own sound of horseshoes stepping on the frosty hooves rumbled, and the birds that had disturbed the night in the mountains and forests were awakened again just after falling asleep, flapping their wings and flying around, and the birds were singing and complaining...
Seeing white gas from the mouths and noses of the war horses, a group of dozens of riders galloped northward along the Jushui River, passed Duqu and arrived at Wolongli on the north side. Suddenly Fang Jun reined in his horses and stood still. The movement, the rattling of vehicles and horses blocked the road tightly.
Wei Ying rode to Fang Jun's side, and said: "The last general will go to expel, Erlang will wait a moment!"
First wave your hand to alert the accompanying soldiers, and then wait for the horse to move forward.
Today is different from the past. Today's Fang Jun is not only high in position and authority, but also has enemies everywhere. Just among the Guanlong Clan, there are countless people who want to cut off Fang Jun's head, so everyone must act cautiously and dare not have half points careless.
Fang Jun raised his hand to stop him, looked forward for a moment, and said, "It looks like people from Jingzhao Mansion? Go up and check, what are these people doing here?"
"Here!"
Wei Ying rode forward, turned around after a while, and brought back an official in a purple official robe...
