The eldest son is fierce

To be honest, Tang Yi felt a little uneasy after listening to Wei Yuan's story.

When the enemy was at the gates of the city and it was threatened with destruction and death at any time, it was Wei Yuan who defended the city alone with only a sword. A man who was not a man, carried the backbone of Dayan.

But he was not defeated by the enemy, but by his own people. He blocked the arrows from the front, but could not avoid the conspiracy from behind.

Even in the past few decades, he has been despised and cursed as a traitor.

Why? !

He was clearly a hero, but now under the manipulation of those people, he has become a sinner who has misled the country and the people.

This made Tang Yi very unhappy. It felt like there was a fire burning in his heart, and he felt sorry for Wei Yuan.

Now, he's going to do something serious.

The fate of a country must never be controlled by villains and treacherous ministers, otherwise the next Wei Yuan might be him!

After all, in this era, military generals, to put it bluntly, are the watchdogs of these treacherous ministers and aristocrats. They coax you to go to the battlefield when they need to, but they are also worried about you and will trip you up everywhere.

After they win, they will find fault with you everywhere and divide your credit.

If you lose the fight, you will be punished to death. I will beat you like a bastard and make you afraid to even pee straight.

He, Tang Yi, can't stand this kind of bullshit.

"No rush, take your time. Before we do our own thing, let's stabilize Kyoto first."

Tang Yi took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions in his heart.

Although he was unhappy, he had to take it slow.

It takes time to build a new army and it takes time to forge weapons. The most important thing is that he has to deal with Emperor Yanwen first and coax him into submission.

Without the emperor's support, even if he was a time traveler, he would not be able to survive in Kyoto, a big melting pot.

Unless, he raises an army to rebel according to his own ideas, but he cannot do such a thing. After all, the emperor is still very good to him at the moment.

"Indeed, Kyoto is unstable, and everything we do is hindered."

Ning Chuan looked at Tang Yi and said, "The latest news is that refugees from all over the country have all flocked to Kyoto, and some people have begun secretly purchasing food in Kyoto."

"That means it won't be long before the demand for food in Kyoto exceeds the supply. Food prices will skyrocket, and with the influx of refugees into Kyoto, it will cause a famine in Kyoto."

"Once a famine is caused, Kyoto will be completely out of control."

Ning Chuan's face was solemn as he said, "And now that the Crown Prince and the civil and military officials have suffered such a great loss, they will definitely not give in so easily and will choose revenge."

"The refugees' entry into the capital is a good opportunity for them to take revenge."

After hearing Ning Chuan's words, Tang Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.

He hasn't even taken office yet, and the aristocratic families are already causing trouble?

Now they have begun secretly purchasing grain and preparing to hoard it. If the emperor asks him to go to Jingzhao Prefecture to take up his post, it would be like catching a bomb that could explode at any time.

By then, you will just be led by the aristocratic families, and you will be one step late in everything you do. What's the point of that?

What is this dog emperor thinking?

"You bastard emperor, you wouldn't cheat people like this, would you?"

Tang Yi was so angry that he almost cursed the emperor's ancestors.

No, we must find a way to solve the food crisis, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

After a moment of hesitation, Tang Yi reined in his horse and looked at Ning Chuan and said, "Captain Ning, you are now the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei. Can you command the three divisions?"

The third department of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is responsible for monitoring the territory of Dayan and collecting domestic intelligence. The fourth department of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is responsible for foreign monitoring and foreign intelligence. The sixth department is the Operations Department, responsible for tasks such as hunting down and eliminating traitors.

Ning Chuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll summon the person in charge of the three departments when I get back... Uh, it might be a little difficult."

Before he could finish his words, Ning Chuan's mouth twitched violently. A few days ago, when he burned the second place, he accidentally almost burned the third place as well.

Because of this, Old Man Mi kept shouting that he wanted to take revenge on him. Although the old man's martial arts skills were not very good, his ability to poison was so great that few people in the world could match him.

He didn't dare go to the Northern Pacification Office these days, for fear that he would be poisoned accidentally and killed by Old Man Mi.

You have to know that last time Su Kuang offended him, he was poisoned by his Yin Yang He Huan Powder. If he hadn't been ruthless enough to hit his head and bleed, knocking himself unconscious, not to mention the men in the Second Office, I'm afraid even the mares in the Jinyiwei stables would have been killed...

"Uh, what do you want three places for?"

Ning Chuan's face was a little stiff, but he still tried to stay calm. I am now the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, and I have to save face.

Tang Yi glanced at Ning Chuan and said, "Um, Ningtou, you are very afraid of Old Man Mi... Ahem, actually it's nothing, I just want the Third Department to spread some news for me."

"Please help me spread some false news in towns with convenient water transportation. Say that the price of grain in Kyoto has skyrocketed. Anyone who wants to make a fortune should quickly transport grain to Kyoto."

"Of course, it would be even better if we could find some big clans to cooperate with us."

Hearing this, Ning Chuan and Xiao Di looked at Tang Yi in shock, both with faces full of astonishment.

What do you mean? The price of grain in Kyoto hasn't risen yet, and you're raising the price?

"We need to prepare for a rainy day. Otherwise, when refugees arrive in Kyoto, the price of food there will skyrocket, and Jingzhao Prefecture will be a hell of a place for me!"

Tang Yi was speechless at this point. He stared at Ning Chuan and Xiao Di and said, "What do you think His Majesty means by this? He wants me to be the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture and promoted me to the rank of Jinyiwei. What is he trying to do?"

In modern times, he would be the police chief and mayor at the same time?!

Isn't this nonsense? These are two different systems!

Ning Chuan didn't directly answer Tang Yi's question, but just stared at him calmly: "If you know who the Dongdu Mu who remotely governs Jingzhao Prefecture is, you will understand why His Majesty wants to transfer you to be the Jingzhao Yin."

When Tang Yi heard this, he was stunned.

He had forgotten that Jingzhao Prefecture was the highest administrative body in the capital, and was usually led remotely by a prince. However, the prince did not take the throne, so the prefect was in charge of government affairs.

Damn it! Tang Yi's eyes fell on Xiao Di's face and said, "Don't tell me, it's you, right?"

"Yes, it is this prince."

Xiao Di held his head high and chest puffed out, looking quite proud.

He raised his hand and patted Tang Yi's shoulder, saying earnestly: "In the future, work hard under my command. I will not treat you unfairly. But you cannot skip levels before doing anything. Remember to report to me in advance."

"Hehe, I just like being your boss. I just enjoy this feeling."

Tang Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, he really wanted to hit him, of course he also understood the intention of the Dog Emperor, this was to accumulate strength for Xiao Di!

Damn it, I’m eighteen years old this year, why do I always feel like the emperor has entrusted me with the care of his son?

Does the emperor want him to help train the future emperor?

Tang Yi thought about it and suddenly felt that his idea made sense. Today's Dayan has almost reached the point where it must be destroyed before it can be rebuilt. The prince seems to be very powerful, but he is biased and credulous, lacks courage, and is weak inside.

If he doesn't even have the courage to go against the officials, how can he be tough against foreign enemies?

Ning Chuan, however, had a different opinion. He felt that Xiao Diyao taking charge of Jingzhao Prefecture was just the emperor giving Tang Yi a scapegoat...

"It shouldn't be a big problem. I think His Majesty may have appointed me as the deputy commander to cooperate with you."

Ning Chuan took a deep breath and said, "Since His Majesty trusts you and has arranged the route, then you should go bravely. I will escort you."

"Okay, let's do it!"

Tang Yi rode away at full speed, leaving only his voice in the air:

"Since we are going to do it, let's do it thoroughly."
