The princess arrives and the prosperous Tang Dynasty begins

Across the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty, a magnificent and vigorous rectification suddenly began like a violent storm. This rectification was like a surging and turbulent wave, which impacted all aspects of society with overwhelming force, triggering a series of profound and complex changes.

Li Yi has set up a grand ambition to seek welfare and prosperity for the Tang Dynasty since he was young. With his quick wit and sharp eyes like an eagle, he can easily see the various ills hidden under the prosperous and splendid appearance of the Tang Dynasty. However, Lin Xiao has emerged like a shining pearl in this era of male superiority and female inferiority with her extraordinary wisdom and fearless courage. She has the light of justice in her heart and her burning desire is like a raging fire, just to seek a fair, just, stable and peaceful living environment for the people.

The two men came together closely because of their common lofty ideals and lofty ambitions, determined to fight side by side and work together to change the current situation of the Tang Dynasty. They knew that this vigorous rectification would inevitably affect the vested interests of some people, and the resistance they faced was like mountains and thorns, but for the long-term stability and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, they had already completely put their personal safety, honor and disgrace aside, and had no intention of retreating.

At the beginning of the rectification, they first cast their sharp eyes on the corrupt officialdom. Those despicable officials who embezzled and accepted bribes and wantonly exploited the people instantly became their primary targets. Li Yi and Lin Xiao worked tirelessly, conducted in-depth investigations, did not miss any clues, carefully collected ironclad evidence, and ruthlessly brought a group of officials who had committed numerous crimes and committed many evil deeds to justice in accordance with the law. This bold and resolute move instantly set off a huge uproar in the officialdom. Those officials who had long been accustomed to abusing their power for personal gain and enriching themselves suddenly felt unprecedented extreme panic and rage.

Some high-ranking and powerful officials began to unite with ulterior motives, trying to use their power and influence to stop the just actions of Li Yi and Lin Xiao. In the solemn court, they were eloquent and slanderous, accusing Li Yi and Lin Xiao of acting too hastily and recklessly, disrupting the seemingly peaceful order of the officialdom. However, Li Yi and Lin Xiao remained unmoved. They refuted these people's malicious slander and shameless slander again and again with ironclad and irrefutable evidence and rock-solid and unshakable firm beliefs.

While ruthlessly cracking down on official corruption, Li Yi and Lin Xiao also took the foresight to reform the tax system full of loopholes. The previous tax system was like a broken net with thousands of holes, making the rich richer and the poor poorer. After in-depth research day and night and extensive consultation with all walks of life, they carefully formulated a fair, reasonable and impeccable tax plan, which greatly reduced the heavy burden on the people, and cleverly increased the country's fiscal revenue, injecting a steady stream of power into the prosperity and development of the Tang Dynasty.

However, this significant reform offended the vital interests of some wealthy businessmen. They had ulterior motives, colluded secretly, and manipulated prices by any means in an attempt to undermine this new tax system. For a time, the market became chaotic, like a pot of boiling porridge, and the daily lives of the people were greatly affected and miserable. Li Yi and Lin Xiao acted decisively and quickly took thunderous measures to strengthen strict supervision of the market, and severely cracked down on the bad behavior of hoarding and price gouging with the momentum of autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves. They even went deep into the crowded market in person to experience the suffering of the people, and comforted the people with warm words, so that the people felt the dawn of hope in their predicament.

In education, an important field related to the future of the country, Li Yi and Lin Xiao also vigorously implemented a series of far-reaching reforms. They were far-sighted and insisted on universal education, so that more people would have the opportunity to read and write, open the door to wisdom, and thus improve the quality of the nation in an all-round way. To this end, they spared no effort and energy, increased investment in education, vigorously established schools, and took the trouble to hire excellent teachers. However, this forward-looking move was strongly opposed by some conservative forces who followed the old ways and clung to the old ways. They ignorantly believed that education was a privilege of the aristocracy and that ordinary people should not receive too much education.

Faced with numerous difficulties and strong resistance, Li Yi and Lin Xiao did not retreat or hesitate. They firmly believed that only by unswervingly carrying out reforms could the Tang Dynasty get out of its predicament and move towards a bright road of prosperity. They worked day and night, tirelessly running around every corner of the Tang Dynasty, and non-stop solving one difficult problem after another.

In this magnificent reorganization, Li Yi and Lin Xiao inevitably encountered severe challenges from within. Some people who originally supported them unswervingly began to waver in the face of tremendous pressure and irresistible temptation of interests, and some even betrayed them shamelessly and revealed crucial confidential intelligence to the enemy.

But Li Yi and Lin Xiao always kept a clear head and unwavering faith. They understood that the road of reform was never a broad road paved with flowers, but a rugged path full of thorns and bumps. Only after experiencing the baptism and tempering of wind and rain could they finally see the gorgeous beauty of the rainbow.

On a dark night with thunder and lightning, Li Yi and Lin Xiao sat opposite each other in a study room filled with the smell of books and flickering candlelight. The weak candlelight flickered in the raging wind, reflecting their exhausted but resolute faces.

"Lin Xiao, we have come this far and experienced countless hardships and difficulties, but I have never regretted it in the slightest." Li Yi's voice was low and firm, like the sound of a deep drum echoing in the silent night sky.

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, his eyes revealing unwavering determination: "Brother Yi, me too. As long as we can lay a solid foundation for the future of Datang, it will be worth it no matter how much sweat and effort we put in, or how much suffering and grievance we endure."

Li Yi held Lin Xiao's hand tightly, as if to pass on all his strength and faith to her, and said: "We must grit our teeth and persevere, and we must not let the conspiracy and trickery of those people with ulterior motives succeed."

Lin Xiao nodded vigorously, with a determined light in his eyes: "Well, we will succeed. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, we must work hand in hand and move forward courageously."

In the following days, Li Yi and Lin Xiao worked more closely together. On the one hand, they strengthened the overall rectification of the internal affairs, and eliminated those wavering speculators and treacherous traitors with a thunderous force; on the other hand, they actively sought the understanding and support of more people. They worked tirelessly to go deep into the people, listened attentively to the people's voices and demands, and gathered the people's power like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, forming an invincible and powerful force.

After arduous and unyielding efforts, the social atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty gradually changed. The spirit of honesty and integrity prevailed in the officialdom. The tax system that was once full of loopholes was successfully implemented. Education reform also achieved remarkable results. The living standards of the people were rising like sesame seeds blooming - the country was becoming increasingly prosperous and strong, presenting a beautiful scene of prosperity.

However, Li Yi and Lin Xiao did not become complacent or complacent. They knew that reform was a long and continuous arduous process, just like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. There can be no slackness or negligence. They continued to explore new reform directions with all their heart and soul, and carefully painted a more magnificent and beautiful blueprint for the future of Datang.

At a grand celebration with unprecedented grandeur and excitement, the people cheered and leaped for joy, their faces filled with happy smiles, and they felt sincerely proud of the earth-shaking changes in the Tang Dynasty. Li Yi and Lin Xiao stood side by side on the towering city wall, looking at the happy and peaceful crowd at their feet, their hearts filled with relief and emotion.

"Lin Xiao, we did it." Li Yi's voice was filled with a hint of irrepressible excitement and joy.

Lin Xiao smiled and said: "Yes, we did it. But this is just the first step in a long journey. There is still a long way to go in the future, and there are more challenges waiting for us to conquer."

Li Yi nodded and looked into the distance with a firm gaze: "As long as we don't forget our original aspirations and keep our mission in mind, the long-term stability and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty will eventually be realized."

The warm and bright sunshine generously sprinkled on them, reflecting their unwavering figures, as if solemnly declaring to the world that the future of the Tang Dynasty was full of infinite hope and light.
