My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 94: The palm of your hand

??In the first moment of his life, Li Yin realized what it means to live like a year. He tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep. A few months ago, he was a college student who just graduated, but now, he is personally directing a war that concerns his own destiny.

The tension in Li Yin's heart is self-evident. This tension comes from the fear of unknown dangers and the excitement of controlling everything. Today, he chooses to face all these bravely, because only in this way can he truly integrate into this world and integrate into the world. In this place called Datang, choosing to escape is just a cowardly act. He will not hide in the gate of time and space to witness his subordinates fighting **** battles for him, because no qualified general or emperor would do this. Li Shimin has experienced countless wars Survive to the end in the intrigues and tricks, and ascend to the throne of the king.

Li Yin does not seek to be comparable to Li Shimin, but he will move towards this goal, relying on his own wisdom and courage to win a living space for himself in the Tang Dynasty, but if he escapes today, it is like giving up and breaking out of the cocoon. Even if you put wings on it, it is just a caterpillar that can fly, and it loses the beauty and nobility of a butterfly.

The same is true for a person. Li Yin has always believed that only a strong heart means real strength. Money and power can only construct a false self. A coward will not become a truly brave person just because he has money and power. Without this disguise, he was still that poor coward.

Li Yin doesn't want to be such a coward. What he wants is to forge himself into a person who will not be knocked down by any difficulties and setbacks in this world of blood and swords. In this way, he can truly fight against those famous officials in history. Will be high and low.

At noon, Gao Quan and the county magistrates of Yizhou arrived as promised. Li Min waited for them with a banquet in the front hall. Waiting for Li Yin's signal.

?? "Thank you King Shu for your kindness!" Gao Quan cupped his hands, and the county magistrates also raised their hands in thanks.

??Li Yin said cordially: "This king has been in Yizhou for more than a month, and I am really ashamed to take the time to invite you now!"

?? "His Royal Highness the King of Shu is serious. It should be because we didn't entertain well and didn't come to visit!" Gao Quan sat down straight away.

?? Gao Quan's behavior clearly does not take Li Yin seriously. If the host does not speak, the guests will sit down at will.

??The other county magistrates were not as courageous as Gao Quan. Li Yin smiled and said, "Everyone, please sit down!" But his expression remained the same.

?? "Shangguan Zhang Shi said that His Highness invited us here to discuss Yizhou government affairs. I wonder what His Highness wants to discuss?" Gao Quan asked.

After everyone was seated, Li Min said: "I visited some villages privately half a month ago, and many villagers reported that the good land in Yizhou was enriched by Governor Gao, and the tax in Yizhou was 20% higher than that of other counties. I don’t know how Governor Gao explained this matter?”

?? Gao Quan's expression froze instantly, and the other county magistrates immediately quieted down when they heard the words, each of them showed a look of panic, their eyes rolled away, Gao Quan smiled and said, "What is the meaning of this, Your Highness?"

?? "What do you mean? As the governor of Yizhou, I am in charge of Yizhou's military administration. You are so lawless and do evil in Yizhou. How can I tolerate you!" Li Yan said sharply.

?? Gao Quan sneered again and again, and said in his mouth: "Your Highness, everything pays attention to evidence, you can't just convict me based on the nonsense of a few unruly people!"

??Li Yan said coldly: "Then I will convince you, Shangguanyi, bring the account book!"

??As Li Yin's voice fell, the door of the side room suddenly opened. Qin Huaiyu and Shangguanyi each led twenty-five soldiers and rushed out, surrounding a group of Yizhou officials.

?? This scene made Gao Quan and the county magistrate turn pale. He vaguely understood something, "Your Highness is really tall. After holding back for so long, I finally got the soldier talisman secretly."

?? "Hmph, besides the military talisman, there is also this account book that records all your criminal evidence!" Li Yin pointed to the account book in Shangguanyi's hand, "What else can you say!"

Gao Quanneng was a shrewd person all the way to be the governor. Now that he was caught in Li Yin's trap, he still kept calm: "Your Highness, don't forget that the county magistrates sitting here are all from local prominent families. If they have any good or bad, their clansmen will not agree."

?? "Really? I'd like to see how big waves they can make!" Li Yin said forcefully.

Gao Quan's heart sank, Li Min was not even afraid of the rebellion of the famous family, and it seemed that he was really ready to fight with them to the death. He said: "Why do you want to do this, Your Highness? You and I work together, this Yizhou is not just the two of us who have the final say , when the time comes, the glory and wealth will be inexhaustible."

Gao Quan used both soft and hard things, but unfortunately Li Yin didn't take hard and soft things. After he learned of Gao Quan's plan to lure the barbarians to kill him, he had already decided to wipe out these Yizhou officials, eliminating future troubles forever. Their families are also preparing to be eradicated together, because this is an opportunity to attack the power of Yizhou's prominent families and pave the way for him to rule Yizhou.

"Hmph, you really have a good plan, as the prince of a country, how can I join forces with you, you just wait to be escorted to Beijing!" Li Yin turned to Qin Huaiyu and said: "Lock them all up! "

The city of Yizhou has changed. This is the same thought of the people of Yizhou at this time. The soldiers of the Zhechong Mansion took over the city gate. The streets are full of patrolling soldiers. Some soldiers, led by the officers, rushed into the Gaojia Mansion. Box after box of gold, silver and jewels were brought out of the house, and Gao Quan's wives, concubines and children were taken away one by one, and the whole Gao Mansion was full of crying and shouting.

??In Nanshi and Beishi, the notices of the Shu Palace were posted, which listed numerous crimes of enriching private pockets, embezzlement and bribery, and raising taxes during the high-power governor of Yizhou and the local 14 county magistrates.

?? "Dog officer, you actually raised the tax in Yizhou by 20%, you really deserve to die!" shouted a person before the notice.

?? "That's right, all this fertile land has been occupied by these prominent families, and such high taxes are charged. This is forcing us ordinary people to die!"

?? "Retribution, this is all retribution, and now they have this fate!"

?? "This is His Royal Highness the King of Shu who is wise, look at the bottom, it is said that he is planning to redistribute the land for us!"

?? "Oh, really, I have to go back and tell my wife the news!"

?? "..."

??The notice was posted, and the news of Gao Quan's arrest quickly spread throughout Yizhou City.

Shu Palace, Gao Quanyi and others were imprisoned in a wing room in the North Courtyard. Shangguanyi was taking over the Yizhou government office, and Wang Yinlong was also released. Together with him, he began to stabilize the political situation in Yizhou. With Wang Yinlong, an old man, Many small officials in Yizhou City settled down and handled official business as usual.

In the wing room, Gao Quan did not have the same ashen face as the other officials, but fierce eyes flashed from time to time. Among these officials, almost all the main officials from Yizhou were present, except that Cheng Jian was missing. At first I was glad that he didn't come, otherwise, who else would have reported to Wujia.
