Luoyang.

In the cold winter, the new year is approaching.

The Dongdu Zhuya has already begun to arrange the sealing of the Guanya for the New Year holiday. The three provinces, six departments, and major yamen are busy distributing New Year's goods and benefits. The Zhujinzouyuan, which is in Beijing, is also the busiest time. Not only do they have to pay tribute to the courts of the local local products, but they also have to deliver them to the various yamen.

At this time, the capital was peaceful everywhere.

The officials in Beijing are no more noble than local officials. Although they are noble, many yamen are actually called Qingshui yamen. They rely entirely on these benefits during the New Year holidays to offer them. Especially at the end of the year, the court also accused them of sending various New Year goods to the yamen in Jinzhaoyuan, various Daozhou, Beijing.

As long as it is not too much, giving some chicken, duck, fish, meat, fruit, dried goods, and charcoal is nothing.

The imperial court has good finances in recent years, so it will withdraw a generous annual fee every year, and each department has a share. At the end of the year, each department will take money from its own yamen's government's Qianxiao Treasury to buy New Year's goods, and even directly pay a sum of money.

Although the ban on lending money in the government has long been lifted, which yamen now does not have a small treasury?

Luoyang is very lively at the end of the year.

Vendors from all over the world have shipped a large number of goods to Luoyang, and they all know that Luoyang is now the center of the world, with countless nobles, nobles, and military generals gathered. Luoyang, a million-dollar family, has the highest consumption level in the world. As long as the goods are good, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it.

Just live animals, Luoyang now slaughters more than 10,000 live sheep and pigs every day. This number is even greater than that of Chang'an, and there are countless chickens and ducks.

Every morning, more than a dozen designated slaughterhouses on the outskirts of Luoyang City began to slaughter pigs, cattle and sheep. When it was light dawn, countless newly slaughtered pigs, beef and mutton were transported into Luoyang City through the water gate, supplying several major markets and the butcher shops and vegetable stalls in various workshops.

The nobles value mutton, while the people eat pork.

A large number of beef cattle such as yaks, buffaloes transported from outside the border or in the south were also slaughtered into the meat stall after a series of procedures, and then entered thousands of households.

Luoyang is located in the heart of the Central Plains. Although it has moved its capital for a short time, its population is now better than Chang'an. The real No. 100-year-old family, Luoyang Prefecture, and a total of 23 counties around it, have exceeded one million households. In Luoyang City alone, there are nearly one million military and civilian populations.

This wealth center in the world consumes countless materials every day, including livestock, poultry, fish, shrimp, eggs, milk, vegetables, fruits, and dried fruits, which are continuously sold through the Grand Canal and official roads. Because of the move to Luoyang, countless vegetable fields, breeding farms and other fields have emerged around Luoyang.

The Chinese New Year is coming, and the people have been busy for a year. At this time, they have started shopping in the market to buy New Year's goods, pulling some floral cloth for their wives and daughters to buy some headbands. If they have enough money, they can add one or two pieces of jewelry.

The people were lively and enjoying the peaceful and prosperous era of Zhenguan.

Under the Secretary of the Central Committee.

Today the prime ministers gathered together, not only that, but also the princes from Chang'an Xingtai came.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Yang Shidao, Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou, Cen Wenben from the Hanlin Academy, Wei Ting from the Censorate of the Censorate, etc.

This winter, Wen Yanbo, the right servant, died of illness, and Dai Zhou, the political affairs officer of Tongpingzhang, died of illness.

The old husbands in Chang'an Xingtai were basically here, including Gao Shilian, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Yu Wenshiji, Yang Gongren, Li Jing, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, and Chai Shao. They are known as the Nine Olds in Chang'an.

Basically, they are all famous officials.

So many important officials gathered together to participate in the meeting of the Secretariat, of course, they did not all become prime ministers, but today the emperor would summon all the officials under the Secretariat to participate in the discussion.

The meeting was a meeting of the prime ministers, the Hanlin Academy and the Censorate of Chang'an, and other officials were actually listening.

A group of ministers gathered in the lower hall of the Secretariat, but they were clearly divided.

The dukes in Luoyang are undoubtedly legitimate, but the dukes in Chang'an have all retreated to the second line, and even those in Luoyang are divided into outer courts and inner courts. For example, the ones under the Central Secretariat are called external ministers by Luoyang people. Because the Hanlin Academy is a close servant of the emperor, it is called internal ministers. The Censor is not controlled by the prime minister because he is very powerful, but he is not close to both sides.

And the various ministers under the Secretary of the Central Committee undoubtedly have their own circles.

It is said that after Wen Yanbo's death, the emperor intended to choose one from Yang Shidao and Changsun Wuji as the right pushe, but there are also rumors that the emperor wanted to worship Fang Xuanling as the Central Secretariat, and let Changsun Wuji as the left pushe and Yang Shidao as the right pushe.

All kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky.

But the Luoyang government and the people of the country knew that Zhao Duke Changsun Wuji and Liang Duke Fang Xuanling were now in disagreement. It is said that because Liang Duke secretly supported Wei Wangtai, while Changsun Wuji was a hard-core princeling. He was once the emperor's right-hand man, but now he was fighting openly and secretly in the court.

The emperor has not arrived yet.

The husbands were drinking tea and greeting each other in groups of three or three.

"Is Your Highness the Crown Prince still in Qinghai? The New Year is approaching, and the Crown Prince still doesn't plan to return to Chang'an?"

"Isn't the prince going to come to Luoyang to congratulate the emperor and attend the grand ceremony of the dynasty?"

The first question was Yang Shidao. Recently, it was rumored that he was about to serve as the Right Pushe. He held a teacup in his hand and asked the Chang'an Xingtai Shangshu Ling and the Crown Secretary Gao Shilian who came from Chang'an.

But the question was Wei Zheng.

Gao Shilian had no expression on his face.

Yang Shidao is Yang Gongren's brother. Yang Gongren also works at Chang'an Xingtai and is now sitting in the hall of the Secretariat. How could Yang Shidao not know the current situation of the prince?

I deliberately asked this question in this occasion, and the voice was still so loud, and it was obviously a problem.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is following the order to comfort Helong."

Mr. Yang laughed twice, "The decree was issued by the Secretary of the Central Committee, and it was also signed on it. If I remember correctly, the decree of the court is just to promote government orders and appease the people, right? Didn't you say that the prince would control the troops of Helong and command the battle?"

"Your Highness comforts Helong, and it is also necessary to comfort the soldiers on the front line. As for the prince's restraint of Helong's troops and commands the battle? Who did Xiao Yang say about this? Why don't you know?" Gao Shilian retorted.

"Who doesn't know about this? The prince left Chang'an and ran to Longyou. He was rebellious. For the sake of the prince's face, the saint issued a decree to ask him to go to Xuanwei Helong. But when the prince arrived at Longyou, he took Hou Junji's command power. He made trouble all day long, and marched slowly with 100,000 people, hunting while marching, and even searching for flowers and willows everywhere. Who doesn't know about this?" Yang Shidao sneered and continued to force him.

Gao Shilian looked dark and said, "Everyone knows it? Why don't you know? You have to have evidence of these words, otherwise you should not blame me for impeaching you. The crown prince is the crown prince of the country and the foundation of a country. How can you slander and slander at will? Yang Shidao, as the prime minister of the court, you are now attacking the crown prince unscrupulously. What is your intention?"

"As the prime minister of the court, he naturally has to do his best to serve the saints and the court. The prince is unethical, so he should stand up. How could he be like Gao Gong, as the Minister of the Chang'an Xingtai Shangtai and the Prince Zhanshi, but he let the prince make such a fool of himself. Even a living person of such a big age cannot be watched and cannot persuade him well. Wouldn't he be dereliction of duty?"

The two of them met in tit-for-tat, and the noise became louder and louder, which attracted everyone to look over.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were attracted, Yang Shidao was very satisfied with the goal.

Gao Shilian was so angry that his beard shook.

"You deliberately exaggerate..."

Changsun Wuji's eyes swept across the people in the hall, looking at the expressions on these people's faces, some were scattered, some were unrelated, some were eager to try...

It seems that the prince’s performance in the past two years has indeed been unpopular.

Among the most important officials in the Tang Dynasty, there are already so many people who do not support it.

Fang Xuanling was holding a teacup in his hand, without any interference, and was drinking tea leisurely there, while Wei Zheng looked like he was about to get out of trouble at any time. Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian, seemed to be dozing off during the quarrel...

"The prince's behavior was too ridiculous. Tuyuhun rebelled and had hundreds of thousands of troops. The court gathered tens of thousands of troops in Longyou and Hexi and other fields. What a military and national affairs, the prince's behavior was arbitrarily seized military power and acted so ridiculously. How could he be tolerated?"

Xiao Yu and Xiao Dapao spoke.

"Hou Junji's crime cannot be exonerated. The prince went to Longyou. It must be because of him that he secretly encouraged him. If the prince refused, how could the prince take charge of the military power of Helong? Hou Junji should be killed!"

Yang Shidao struck while the iron was hot, "You can't just rely on the prince to continue making trouble. How can tens of thousands of Tang soldiers in Helong play? The battle of Tuyuhun is a major military and national event, so it is not allowed to be messed with. You should immediately ask the saint to issue an order to seize the military power of Hou Jun and order him to return to the capital to trial. His Highness the Crown Prince must immediately send someone to take it back. The battle situation in Helong should be selected to take over. Originally, Qin Taibao in Jiannan was very suitable, but he heard that Taibao was seriously ill and difficult to lead the troops. I suggest that the Lanzhou Governor Xue Wanche go to Longyou to take over the battle situation!"

Xue Wanche is the son-in-law of Princess Danyang. It is said that he is quite close to the Yang family and seems to have become the King of Wu. It is natural that Yang Shidao recommended him to take over the Longyou army.

Yu Wen Jie, the right chief of the Shangshu, stood up and recommended Chai Shao, because Chai Shao had fought in Helong for a long time and defeated Tuyuhun people many times. He had experience, and Tuyuhun people were also afraid of Chai Shao.

Changsun Wuji glanced at Yuwen Jie and looked at Yuwen Jie. Yuwen Jie and Yuwen Jie were of the same clan. Yuwen Jie's grandfather Yuwen Yi was the Minister of Rites and was named the Duke of Pingchang County during the Sui Dynasty. Yuwen Shu also had a close relationship. Yuwen Jie has been the Right Prime Minister for several years and has also been praised by the emperor.

This person recommended Chai Shao, who was obviously from the King of Wei, who belonged to the King of Wei. In this way, Yu Wenshiji also turned to the King of Wei. He looked at Yu Wenshiji and found that the old guy was there to take a nap, and he ignored his nephew's words.

Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth secretly.

I never expected that in just a few years, there will be so many people in the court opposing the prince.

"The saint is here!"
