The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 126: end point and start point

Views:

The deaths of Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue announced that the palace change had come to an end. Li Yan successfully entered the palace city. He saw Li Wei who was still in a coma in the palace. Can fall asleep as if nothing happened.

Immediately, Li Yan issued an imperial edict in the name of Li Wei, saying that Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue intended to rebel. Li Yan realized it in time, so he led the people to rescue.

Under the leadership of Tian Lingzi, the Shence Army withdrew from Chang'an City, and the guards of the entire imperial palace were temporarily in charge of the Puwangfu Jiashi, Anwangfu Jiashi, Li Maozhen and Wang Jian's troops.

The masters of the Shence Army in Miyagi surrendered one after another, and Li Yan did not do anything to them. After all, the power of the Shence Army is still too great. Even if Li Yan has already controlled Miyagi, he still cannot kill the masters of the Shence Army. To kill everything, Tian Lingzi can only be temporarily commanded by the Shence Army.

Fortunately, Tian Lingzi has been serving as the Marquis of the Shence Army's capital Yu for a long time, and he has not encountered any obstacles.

A palace coup killed Liu Xingshen, Han Wenyue, and their direct relatives, and the rest of the Shence Army was not declared guilty. As a powerful interest group, the Shence Army itself is unshakable, and they will continue to maintain control of Chang'an City, the only difference is that Li Yan will change their leader who is loyal to him.

The leader is undoubtedly Tian Lingzi.

When Li Yan was busy in Miyagi, Li Ye helped Li Xian to Kangfufang.

Li Xian asked Li Ye to send him back, and it was really not just looking for trouble. After the battle in Xi Neiyuan, Li Xian vomited a lot of blood, his whole body was so weak that he even walked with sloppy feet.

At this time, it has passed the third watch, and there is no one on the street, and because of the turmoil in Miyagi, the Shence Army rushed into the city, and every house closed the windows and turned off the lights. It was dark and quiet, only two The sound of human footsteps seemed a bit abrupt on the empty street.

"No matter which prince succeeds to the throne, I will not be able to appear in front of the world again." Li Xian said, "In the future, if my legs and feet are still convenient, I will walk around the rivers and lakes. If it is not convenient, I am afraid I will have to live in a Taoist temple."

Of course Li Ye understood what Li Xian meant.

He was already dead, if he reappeared, the history of the Battle of Bagong Mountain would have to be rewritten, but there was nothing that needed to be changed. Although Li Xian had been wronged, the title given to him by the court was still decent.

There is nothing to be vindicated if you die of the king's suspicion.

But with Li Ye around, it is very easy to build a Taoist temple for Li Xian and let him live in seclusion in it.

In the entire Kangfufang, only the Jinxiu Pavilion was still lit.

To be precise, it is a room in Jinxiu Pavilion, and the lights are still on.

Li Ye looked up at Jinxiu Pavilion.

Li Xian said calmly: "The place where the light is on is the place to go."

After handing Li Xian over to Liu Sanniang, who had tears in her eyes but desperately endured it, Li Ye didn't stop for a while. The matter in Miyagi was not over yet, and he wanted to go back and have a look.

...

The palace change was over, and Li Wei didn't wake up. In the end, he didn't survive this winter, and died before the New Year's Eve.

Li Yan came to the throne smoothly, and while amnesty changed the Yuan Dynasty, he also rewarded all the meritorious officials.

Those who worked hard in the battle of the palace change all received satisfactory rewards. Tian Lingzi became a lieutenant in the Shence Army, Li Maozhen and Wang Jian were promoted to ranks, and Nangong No. 1 was headed by Qin Tianjian and became Qin Tianjian. Siqing and Li Ye became the Governor of Chang'an. As for Xu Shaomu, he was transferred away and left very satisfied. Before leaving, he gave Li Ye a large box of books, saying that they were his private collection.

After the defeat of Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue, the name of Li Ye spread throughout the world again. This time, the sensation caused was even greater than when Wei Baoheng was defeated, and the popularity reached a new high. Not only Chang'an City, but the entire Central Plains also spread the word Li Ye's good name seemed to be the trend of becoming the second Li Xian again, coupled with his promotion, Li Ye was finally promoted to the seventh level of Qi training after half a year, with the continuous accumulation of luck.

Later, Li Ye went to Yipin Building, but he never saw Huang Chao again. Even the blind old man who told the book was gone beside the stairs in the lobby on the first floor. Chang'an disappeared.

Li Ye built a Taoist temple for Li Xian outside Chang'an City. Liu Sanniang lived in the Taoist temple with him and took care of Li Xian's daily life. Song Jiao and Liu Dazheng would go to the Taoist temple from time to time to catch up with Li Xian.

After Li Yan came to the throne, he behaved no differently from Li Yu. He didn't pay much attention to political affairs on weekdays. No more persuasion.

Not one year after Li Yan ascended the throne, Lu Yan and Wang Duo started a fight. The reason was that Lu Yan flattered and flattered Li Yan, making Li Yan very happy, so he became more and more favored and more powerful, so he corrupted the law. , just like another Wei Baoheng, but Wang Duo is upright, often speaks out and advises, and gradually he is left out in the cold.

After the two fought for less than half a year, Wang Duo was demoted and let go of the state officials.

After Tian Lingzi replaced Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue, he became the most powerful person in Chang'an City. Except Li Ye, he ignored everyone, and even Lu Yan had to be polite when he met him. Tian Lingzi is not a good person, he is only responsible for taking bribes and making Li Yan happy.

In the first year of Qianfu, that is, the first year of Li Yan's accession to the throne, there was a severe drought followed by floods, and natural disasters led to food shortages. After capturing prefectures and counties, they fell into several prefectures in a row, and the momentum rose sharply, shaking the whole world.

In the second year of Qianfu, Huang Chao gathered a crowd to raise an incident in response to Wang Xianzhi.

After that, the rebels fought north and south, attacked cities and land, and developed into hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

The imperial court ordered the four towns of Huainan, Zhongwu, Xuanwu, Yicheng and Tianping to join forces to attack.

Since then, the officers and troops have lost more than they have won, and the court has repeatedly changed commanders, but the rebellious soldiers have not been quelled, but their momentum has grown stronger.

In the fourth year of Qianfu, Huang Chao captured Yunzhou, killed Tianping Jiedushi, and fell into Yizhou. In order to prevent the rebellious soldiers from controlling Ziqing, the imperial court appointed Li Ye as the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu to curb the plundering of the rebellious soldiers.

The Pinglu Jiedushi governed Qi, Zi, Qing, Lai, Deng and other prefectures. It was bordered by the sea in the east, bounded by Mount Tai in the west, and adjacent to Yun and Yizhou.

...

The West Inner Garden has long since been repaired as before, and the spring sun is just right.

Li Yan was feeding the fish by the lake. He sprinkled a handful of fish food, clapped his hands, turned around and shook his head, and sighed: "It's just a few bandits, and it's noisy. There are many civil and military leaders in the Manchu Dynasty, and there are enough elite soldiers in the world. It's easy to calm them down, why do you need to go there yourself, how tired you are, wouldn't it be relaxing to stay in Chang'an?"

Li Ye sat in the pavilion and looked at him. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "It has been four years since the rebellion started. If it can be easily suppressed, it will not be delayed until today. Victory, but these thieves did not stay in one place, but fought on the move, scurrying around, it is not easy to encircle and wipe out."

Speaking of this, Li Yan became a little angry. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's all because of the ineffectiveness of those feudal towns! We wait and see each other before the battle, and no one is willing to go to the front. Once the rebellious soldiers come to kill in large numbers, they will be coaxed away with oil on the soles of their feet. San, it is entirely for the sake of preserving one's own strength, and refuses to be loyal to the court! On the contrary, when asking the court for money and food, one shouted louder than the other, and I was really annoyed to the extreme!"

What Li Yan said was true, but not all.

The vassals and towns waited and watched each other, and no one was willing to suffer a loss. Of course, the army did not win quickly, but several times the officers and soldiers achieved great victories, forcing the rebellious soldiers to be defeated. However, because of factional disputes, the imperial court wanted each other to win the war. It is also an undeniable fact that it led to several sudden changes in command, which gave the rebels an opportunity to take advantage of.

When the war is unfavorable, let the good generals lead the army. Once they gain an advantage and feel that they are sure of victory, they replace the good generals and let their cronies enter the field. .

This is what Lu Yan did.

In addition, the generals sent by the imperial court will not be punished for major faults, and will be rewarded for every inch of merit. After the soldiers and horses of the feudal towns have achieved victories, the imperial court is stingy with rewards. The unknown caused the prestige of the imperial court to be greatly reduced. The soldiers and horses in the feudal town who had been fighting hard at first gradually became dissatisfied and became negative.

All kinds of conflicts of interest are filled in this battle to suppress chaos, but they are not well coordinated. This is the fundamental reason why the war can never be won.

Li Ye couldn't tell Li Yan about this in detail, and he wouldn't listen to it, and he wouldn't necessarily agree with it.

He could only say: "The soldiers and horses of the feudal towns are watching each other on the battlefield, and no one is willing to do their best. This requires the imperial court to set up a model of heroic fighting. At the same time, the feudal towns from all walks of life are dissatisfied with each other, and the imperial court also needs to send important officials to subdue the towns. Let them obey the court order."

Speaking of this, Li Ye smiled: "Although I don't have much prestige, I am the prince of the dynasty after all, and everyone in the world knows that I have His Majesty's favor, so I can borrow His Majesty's prestige. With His Majesty's Tianwei, all the towns , who dares not accept it?"

Li Yan smiled wryly, "I can't tell you."

...

When Li Ye returned to Prince An's Mansion, he called Shangguan Qingcheng, Song Jiao, Li Zhen and others over, and arranged many things for them to prepare separately.

I don't know how long it will take to go out to suppress the vassal, so Li Ye will take all the eight hundred soldiers of the palace with him. These soldiers had also fought with Li Xian, and they should be used on the battlefield to guard the palace, but they are overqualified.

A few days later, everything was settled, and Li Yan's edict had been promulgated, announcing Li Ye's departure from Zhenpinglu to the world, and the envoy's ax was also in Li Ye's hands.

Li Xian didn't intend to go with Li Ye, his body couldn't bear the torment anymore.

In fact, Li Ye knew very well that the reason why Li Xian returned to Chang'an was not to help him. After Li Xian became a real person, the secular ties were basically gone. The only obsession he still had was the land of Tang Dynasty.

Live the country, die the country. This is Li Xian.

It is night, and the bright moon is in the sky.

Li Ye sat on the roof, picked up a jug of wine, and drank alone.

After the jug was empty, he stood up, bathed in the night wind and said nothing.

It was something he had worked hard for a long time to get out of town.

When you arrive at the feudal town, you will also arrive at the rivers and lakes and the world.

On the road of cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal, he has taken a big step.

And what greeted him was more challenges.
