Chapter 1104 of Changning Imperial Army, you can't help but Xu Shaoyan looked at everyone around him: "When Daning was founded, you and my ancestors had indelible achievements. The tablets of Fengyingtang are still there. What a glory it is. Look at your current situation. To be honest, I went to the ancestral hall to face the ancestors. I don't know what you think. I just feel ashamed of my surname."

The one sitting next to him was called Gao Mingtang. His ancestors were also one of the founding Dukes of Daning. Gao Mingyang was next to Gao Mingtang. The two were brothers. Speaking of the glory of their ancestors, the status of the Gao family was more prominent than that of the Tang family. At that time, Daning had just established a country. Tang Pidian, the sworn brother of Emperor Taizu, knelt in front of His Majesty, and refused to accept his majesty's title of king. Emperor Taizu had no choice but to change his title of Duke and ranked first among the ministers. However, Tang Pidian was too smart and knew what he should do. After being named Duke, he asked for an order to resign from all military positions and went to the northwest to guard the border.

Therefore, the Gao family seemed to be more brilliant than the Tang family, but at that time the Gao family was not high-profile, and they acted calmly and never showed off.

In addition to the Gao family of the Tang family, the most glorious one is the Xu family. Xu Ji, the ancestor of the Xu family, was the most important counselor around Emperor Taizu. Although he was a literati, he could also be on the horse with a sword. The eight major battles under Emperor Taizu were not included in it, so he would be the first to be the counselor Xu Ji.

However, his fate was different for his fellow men. Xu Ji was given the surname Li by Emperor Taizu because of his great contributions. He became the first prime minister of Daning and the only prime minister.

Xu Ji was the prime minister to govern the country, and he had to say that his talent was enough to maintain peace. However, in his later years, he felt that Taizu did not reward him enough, and he felt that he was different from others. He was the prime minister for sixteen years, and in the first ten years, he could be said to have worked diligently in the first ten years, but in the next few years he became a different person. Not only did he become greedy for a large sum of money, but he also openly sold official positions, formed cliques for personal gain, and his disciples spread all over the world, and he even placed his close friends in various departments to seize the real power. It was not an exaggeration to say that the power was in power in the courts and the people.

Emperor Taizu repeatedly reminded him at first, but he seemed stupid and did not take Taizu's words seriously at all. As a result, Taizu was furious, took his imperial surname and demoted it to the commoner, and handed it over to the Tingwei Mansion for investigation. However, Emperor Taizu finally thought of his old love and only dealt with Xu Ji without the whole family of the former family. He even gave the title of Duke Xu Ji to his eldest son for inheritance. It is logical that Xu Ji was a serious crime, and it was already a blessing from the family that was not implicated. His descendants could still inherit the position of Duke, which shows how Emperor Taizu felt for him.

After Xu Ji's affairs came into being, Emperor Taizu went to the prime minister system and changed it to the cabinet system.

The Gao family is under the Xu family. In fact, it is said that the Gao family is not as powerful as the Xu family because they are smart enough. Gao Zhen, the ancestor of the Gao family, was one of the eight major war generals under Emperor Taizu. He is humble and cautious and has a good relationship with Tang Pideng in private. After listening to Tang Pideng's persuasion, he strictly restrains his family, so the glory of the Gao family was able to last for a hundred years.

After that, the Gao family had a series of accidents, which was a loss of family power.

But a few hundred years later, the Gao family has become very low-key, but this low-key is not the deliberate low-key they were from when they were ancestors, but the fact that there is no one in the family who can support their presence.

In addition to the Xu family and Gao family, there are also the Cheng family, Zhao family, Sheng family, Yun family and Geng family. These old noble families have been suppressed in the current reign of His Majesty over the years. His Majesty likes to use people from poor families the most, such as the six people who are scattered and scattered in the sky, which makes these people who want to revive their families very powerless.

"Test?"

Cheng Fanghe looked at Xu Shaoyan: "Even if it is a test, it is like walking on thin ice for us. Your Majesty's attitude towards Chen Leng is not so obvious. You and I know that Your Majesty is going to pave the way for the second prince now. If it is really as Xu Gong said, it is understandable that Your Majesty is slightly ill. Your Majesty can't wait, but what if it is not? Let's go and test, what should we use to test?"

"Of course we don't need people."

Xu Shaoyan said: "Take it in two steps."

He stood up and paced around the house and said, "First, each company has taken out some of the silver. This amount of money is nothing to each company. Let's pay it first according to the share of 5,000 taels per company. The account must be clear. Part of the money is used for. It is a money tree. Even if the Liuyun Club is gone, no one dares to make trouble in their business. Let's try to take over as much as possible. The road is easy to walk and the money is easy to make money. In addition, the money is used to make friends with important officials of the court. Putting aside Lai Cheng, there are many people in the cabinet that can get close to. Don't just send the silver to the low-level and annoying. Think of a way. We have more people and more people, and we have to give it more beautifully."

"Second, we need to know what Your Majesty is. If you are worried that Chen Leng and others are too powerful and threaten the second prince, then Your Majesty will not stop and will continue to suppress Chen Leng Meng Chang'an and others. At this time, Your Majesty needs to hire people. Let's try to win over a few young talents. For fairness, each family will choose one person."

He paused: "If you want to know Your Majesty's thoughts, start with small things, the Xu family will first take out 5,000 taels of silver. Not included in the previous amount, the 5,000 taels will be used to buy people."

Buy someone?”

Gao Mingtang was stunned: "Who should I buy?"

"A person who doesn't want to live."

Xu Shaoyan smiled: "If you want to test Your Majesty's bottom line, there must be someone who is desperate."

He clasped his fists: "You must work together to restore the glory of your ancestors."

Everyone stood up: "Together!"

The next day, Simaozhai.

The emperor leaned against the window and stared blankly. Recently, the emperor seemed to be increasingly unable to do so. He would occasionally get distracted when reviewing memorials. Dai Fangzhou saw it in his eyes and was anxious. He risked beheading and secretly asked the imperial physician what was wrong. But the imperial physician said it was sure that the emperor had nothing to do, but he was depressed, so he was a little bit mentally.

"His Majesty."

Dai Fangzhou held the medicine bowl and put it on the table in front of the emperor: "It's time to take medicine."

The emperor slowly retracted his eyes from outside the window and glanced at the bowl of medicine: "Please let it go, I will drink it when I have a cold, let the boat go, you go and send the order to let Han Huazhi come in."

The emperor was stunned when he said the words.

"Let Fang Bailu come in."

"Sister obeys the order."

Dai Fangzhou sighed in his heart, thinking that His Majesty didn't know what was wrong, so he sent Lord Han and Lord Ye to the frontier, but His Majesty himself was not used to it. How many times has this been? Dai Fangzhou thought, at least four or five times. After His Majesty was stunned, he would either ask him to call Lord Han in or ask him to call Lord Ye in.

Half an hour later, Fang Bailu hurried in. He was not used to being the role of the Tingwei Mansion as the Tingwei Mansion, nor was he used to coming in to meet His Majesty frequently. At that time, Lord Han was the one who had to do the things in the Tingwei Mansion, and they just had to follow Lord Han's instructions, but now everything was carried on his shoulders and everything had changed.

Fang Bailu came in carefully and lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded and pointed to the file on the table in front of him: "This is the investigation of the Tianji ticket number from the Tingwei Mansion you sent to. I have read it. You will arrange for someone to seize all Tianji ticket numbers in Chang'an City tomorrow. If you arrange for someone to be optimistic, no one except the Tingwei Mansion is allowed to be involved in this case."

"tomorrow?"

Fang Bailu asked tentatively.

"tomorrow."

The emperor nodded: "Go and do it."

Fang Bailu agreed, leaned over and bowed again and went out, walked out of the door, and let out a long breath, but the accumulated breath in his heart could not be released at all. He stood outside the door and pondered for a while, carefully recalling what His Majesty said. There were not many words in total. He carefully considered each word, and only felt a little relieved when he thought about the two words tomorrow.

All the business on the list given to His Majesty was clean, and he filtered down any matters involving secret passages. He raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky. It was only in the morning that His Majesty said he would do it tomorrow, and His Majesty also left enough time.

After leaving the door, he asked his subordinates to go back first. He walked alone towards the general number of the Tianji ticket number. When he walked, he paid attention to it and deliberately took some detours before returning to the right path. He had to be careful and he had to go to the Tianji ticket number himself. Most of the people who should have been withdrawn in the ticket number had already left Chang'an, but Gao Xiaoyang was still there.

Halfway through the way, he found a place to buy a new set of clothes, which would probably fit. Then he found a place to change the clothes and put a hat on the brim of the hat. He knew that the people in the Tingwei Mansion were trustworthy, but he did not want to involve people.

As he walked, he heard some noise in front of him. He raised his hat brim and looked forward. He found that there were many people gathering on the street in front of him. He wanted to avoid it, but suddenly he remembered something and then accelerated his pace toward him.

A group of people stood in front of a shop and pointed at each other. There were about a dozen people. The leader was a man with a big and thick look with a beard and a native of Chang'an accent.

“Not selling?”

The leader's beard sneered: "I just like this shop. Tell me, how much is it to transfer it to me? As long as you offer the price."

The two little girls stood on the steps and stopped the people, their faces turned pale.

"I said I won't sell it!"

"It's not OK to sell."

Beard sneered: "If you don't sell this shop today, you have to sell it."

He pointed to the seal on the shop: "This is a shop sealed by the government. I have already inquired about it. Although the shop has not been confiscated, the government ordered you to close the door. The shop is idle and idle. If you sell it to me, you can still get a lot of money to support your family. Seeing that you little girls have no other skills, you can't sell it."

"You're looking for death."

One of the girls had a cold face and stepped forward and slapped the beard. She was Gao Xiaoyang, and when did she suffer such grievances?

With a bang, the little girl's wrist was caught by her beard: "Oh, the tender skin is quite strong, and she dared to hurt people in public. Neighbors, let's take a look. Whose shop is this? No wonder it was sealed. It turned out that it was because it was too domineering and domineering."
