Outside Chang'an City, the Yanmen Army camp.
Li Keyong is entertaining the generals for a banquet.
Now that the battle in Guanzhong is over, the imperial court's rewards have been completed, Li Keyong has also obtained the title of county king, and he was transferred from Yanmen Jiedu envoy to Hedong Jiedu envoy, which can be said to be proud of the spring breeze. It is inevitable to feast on the meritorious generals in the army. However, facing the generals who kept toasting, although Li Keyong was all smiles, the bitter look in his eyes never disappeared.
After the banquet, Li Keyong returned to the main tent of the Chinese army. There was no one here, and even the scribes were dismissed by him. Sitting behind the desk, Li Ke fell into a long silence, looking at the empty tent, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, two generals came to see him hand in hand, one of them was Li Keyong's number one confidant, An Cunxiao, but now the other party's name was not An Cunxiao, but Li Cunxiao.
This time the imperial court rewarded them heavily, and Li Keyong's confidants and generals also received gifts from the Li surname. The other person is restrained, although his face is rough, but no one will think that he is brave and foolhardy. He is also Li Ke's confidant general, called Li Siyuan.
Because of Li Keyong's alliance with Tian Lingzi, although he did not make any outstanding contributions in the process of quelling the Huangchao Rebellion, he also reaped a lot of benefits.
The so-called "Bayier" refers to Li Ke using the most valiant generals under his command to take charge of the most elite trilogy. They performed outstandingly in this battle and were well known by other feudal towns. Li Keyong naturally wanted to show his closeness to such generals, so he adopted them all as adopted sons.
Speaking of which, Li Keyong is not yet thirty years old. Although the "eight righteous children" are all young heroes, they are not much younger than him. For example, Li Cunxiao is two years younger than Li Keyong. However, adopting adopted sons is a popular trend nowadays, which is understandable.
"Master Huiming really fell into Li Ye's hands?" Li Keyong raised his head slowly and asked in a low voice.
It was Li Siyuan who answered him, and he said: "Indeed. This time when Li Ye traveled west to Fengxiang, there was a shocking commotion. Eighteen monks and soldiers of the Shimen, thirty-six Arhats, and eight hundred monks and soldiers were all killed. The power of the Shimen has plummeted, not only in the Tang Gaojie's combat strength has been completely lost, and he has lost the ability to intimidate all heroes in the Western Regions, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover in twenty years."
Li Ke used to be silent, Shimen has always been his arm, and now that Shimen has suffered a major blow, the strength of the monks under his command has dropped a lot. That day he fought Shang Rang at Lingkou, if he hadn't had Shimen's help, he wouldn't have been able to stop Shang Rang's military battle.
"Your Highness, what shall we do next?" Li Cunxiao asked, Li Keyong was canonized as the county king, so he can be called His Highness.
Li Ke stayed silent for a longer time this time.
From time to time, his wife Liu Yun came out of the inner tent, came to sit down beside Li Keyong, stroked his hand, looked at him with concern, and said in a low voice: "King An is so powerful that he is no longer an enemy. Can be bent and stretched, why don't my husband go to see King An, and see if there is any possibility of burying the suspicion?"
Li Keyong's face was ugly, and he sighed for a long time, "I have a deep rift with King An, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet each other with a smile..."
At this point, he couldn't go on. Now Li Ye's power is unmatched, and all the soldiers and horses in the world are under his control. Even though Li Keyong thinks highly of himself, he knows that he can't wrestle with Li Ye right now. He intends to settle down with Li Ye, but there are many things that can't be done just by thinking.
Liu Yun can naturally understand Li Keyong's difficulties. She couldn't bear to see Li Keyong being so difficult to make a choice, so she said, "Since we can't make good friends with King An, the only way left is Tian Lingzi. Tian Lingzi's envoy has already arrived. Do you want your Highness?" See you?"
Li Ke frowned: "What are Tian Lingzi's people doing here at this time?"
Liu Yun stared at Li Keyong, and said word by word: "He has a plan."
In Prince An's mansion, Li Ye was sitting and drinking tea with Yang Fuguang.
The two have been talking for half an hour, and they have been talking about the war against chaos this time. Yang Fuguang's face was flushed, and his brows and eyes were full of joy. He was so happy, naturally not because Li Ye gave him any benefits, but because Li Ye was willing to chat with him for so long. This honor made him feel radiant.
Yang Fuguang thought proudly in his heart: Heroes in the whole dynasty and heroes in the world, how many people want to see King An but can't get it, but our family can see King An and chat for so long. point? It's nothing more than that if one person achieves Taoism and ascends to heaven, right
Li Ye put down the tea bowl and said with a smile, "The privy envoy seems to have encountered a lot of trouble these days?"
Because of his meritorious service, Yang Fuguang has already served as a privy envoy. The so-called four noble eunuchs are the left and right lieutenants of the Shence Army, and the chief and deputy privy envoys of the Privy Council. Although Yang Fuguang's status is not as good as Tian Lingzi's now, he should not be underestimated.
"Thanks to His Highness King An. If it weren't for the secret help from the Tsingyi Yamen, our family would have died several times." Speaking of this, Yang Fuguang's expression changed, and he sighed, "I don't know who it is. This worthless head of our family."
Li Ye asked with a smile: "The privy envoy really doesn't know?"
Yang Fuguang was slightly stunned, and smiled wryly: "Your Highness is a discerning person, so he naturally knows the twists and turns. It's just that our family has no intention of competing with him. After all, he is in a high position now, so there is nothing our family can do about it. "
Li Ye said slowly: "I have a way."
Yang Fuguang's eyes lit up: "Does King An want it?"
He didn't speak very clearly, because there was no need to speak thoroughly, Li Ye's killing of Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue was known all over the world.
Li Ye was noncommittal, with deep eyes, which made it difficult to understand his true thoughts: "There is no reason, it is not easy to do it, it needs an opportunity. Privy envoys don't need to worry, just wait for the time to come."
He took a sip of tea and said inexplicably, "There are always people who are more anxious than us."
After Yang Fuguang left, Li Ye planned to rest. At this time, Su Emei and Song Jiao came together to discuss important matters with Li Ye. These two people usually don't see eye to eye, but they can't expect to appear together this time.
"What's the matter?" Li Ye sat down casually at the round table, and motioned for Su Emei and Song Jiao to also sit down.
"There is trouble in Pinglu." The two said in unison, and after they finished speaking, they glanced at each other. Song Jiao raised her eyebrows, while Su Emei smiled calmly, "Let's talk to Commander Song."
Song Jiao did her part, she looked at Li Ye, her eyes were full of murderous intent, and she said word by word: "Pinglu has appeared... a demon!"
This time it was Li Ye's turn to be startled: "Demon?"
Song Jiao said in a deep voice: "The information from the Tsingyi Yamen is not wrong. A large group of monsters appeared out of nowhere in Pinglu. They caused disasters in the county and destroyed many villages. Everyone said that you are their demon king. Now you have done it." Master of Pinglu, they will devour all of Pinglu's creatures to enhance their cultivation."
Li Ye sneered: "It's rare to see someone so insane."
Su Emei saw that Li Ye didn't take it seriously, so she took the initiative to speak: "The so-called demon is a casual cultivator in the mountains. In ancient times, immortals and ordinary people lived together, and there were many cultivation systems. Everyone can become immortal. Squeeze out all parties, and finally dominate the fairy court. The wild cultivators in the mountains, including monsters, spirits, and monsters, will have no future."
"Immortal Court is the best blessed place, and it gathers the energy of heaven and earth. The best cultivation resources in the world are all in Immortal Court. Cultivators live here, and they can see and live for a long time. Gao will also be wiped out. Therefore, the mountain and wild cultivators have always hated the Taoist fairy court very much, and they are at odds with each other, but this time, for some reason, they are willing to be the minion of the fairy court."
Li Ye was silent, he had never heard of this, because there are no goblins and ghosts on the earth, and they are not allowed to become spirits after the founding of the country, "What is the origin of the goblin that is causing trouble in Pinglu this time?"
Su Emei pondered for a moment, "I don't know for now. But since the other party has appeared, we'd better rush back as soon as possible. If they really let them go, I'm afraid Pinglu will be in chaos."
Li Ye pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "Since that's the case, let's order the army division. There are not many things to do in Chang'an, and I have already arranged everything that should be arranged."
Song Jiao and Su Emei nodded. They naturally knew about some of Li Ye's plans.
On that day, Li Yan, the commander of the Pinglu Army, led all the civil and military officials, and went out of Chang'an City to see him off.
Prior to this, the feudal town troops near Chang'an had all returned to the town one after another. Speaking of which, the Pinglu Army was the last to leave. The Huangchao Rebellion has passed, and Chang'an, the capital city, will naturally return to the previous order.
The Shangrang tribe who attacked Chenzhou, after Zhu Wenchi arrived in place, joined forces with Gao Pian, and they were defeated.
"Brother Ye, if you leave like this, I will be the only one left in Chang'an from now on. If there is any trouble, no one will come to share my worries, why don't you want to stay in Chang'an?" Li Yan pulled Li Ye and sighed. Li Ye said with relief: "Your Majesty has all the princes to help you share your worries. Even if the minister is not here, it will not be too sad. If your majesty has an order, the minister will come back at any time."
Li Yan was still unhappy, but after hearing Li Ye's last words, he finally felt better. With Li Ye's current level of cultivation, he can indeed return to Chang'an at any time, and it only takes half a day to go back and forth, "I heard that something happened in Pinglu, and I won't force you to stay. Brother Ye, take care."
Li Ye cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, take care."
Tian Lingzi, who was standing beside Li Yan, laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed as Li Ye rode his horse to catch up with the troops of the Pinglu Army Brigade. Of course, this is a silent laugh, and no one will notice.
Back in the palace, Tian Lingzi immediately called Yang Fugong, and the two were in a secret room, discussing important matters: "King An has left, now, our plan will be implemented immediately!"
Yang Fugong bowed to accept the order.
Tian Lingzi's plan is very simple. The Shence Army controls the city defense of Chang'an, which will not change at any time. As a lieutenant of the Shence Army, he naturally has the qualification to coerce the emperor to command the princes! It's just that in the past, Tian Lingzi didn't want to break his face.
After a few days.
Li Yan was resting in the bedroom. Tian Lingzi broke in without announcing him. Li Yan, who was leaning on the plinth, saw Tian Lingzi enter, and said in surprise, "Why are you here? I didn't announce you."
Tian Lingzi strode forward, came to Li Yan, and looked down at him coldly: "From today onwards, our family doesn't need your majesty to announce, when we meet your majesty, we can see you."
Li Yan was stunned, and suddenly realized something, his face changed drastically, he jumped up, and roared angrily: "Tian Lingzi! How dare you change the palace?! How dare you hold me hostage?!"
Tian Lingzi's face was not flushed, his heart was not beating, his expression was calm, but his eyes were extremely cold: "What is your majesty saying? I just want your majesty to understand that in Chang'an City, there is nothing that Shence Army can't do, without me Tian Lingzi What can't be done!"
After saying that, Tian Lingzi waved his hand, and a group of eunuchs rushed in immediately. He ordered lightly: "From today on, you must take good care of His Majesty's daily life. If anything goes wrong, you will know what will happen."
The eunuchs immediately bowed down and agreed.
Li Yan was trembling with anger, Tian Lingzi's meaning was very clear, from now on, he would put Li Yan under house arrest, "Tian Lingzi! You dog slave, how dare you?! Are you not afraid that King An will take your head?! "
"King An? He has already left. Besides, don't worry, your Majesty, our family is careful, and people outside the palace will not notice. Anyway, before the Huangchao Rebellion, His Majesty ignored political affairs, and those ministers could not see His Majesty." , and no one will say anything now."
Tian Lingzi sneered: "Our family was soft-hearted before. From now on, our family will no longer be so polite to His Majesty."
"Where is the master left behind by King An?"
"Expert? Our family broke in, but they didn't move. Why, could it be that His Majesty didn't think of it?"
Tian Lingzi squinted, "Speaking of which, although the masters left behind by King An are not low in cultivation, they are almost as good as the masters in the house. After all, as a subject of King An, the people left by His Majesty cannot surpass the masters in cultivation. His Majesty's own people. And this just gave our family a chance."
"You... Even so, there are quite a few masters, how could your people kill them silently?!"
"Our family has noble people to help, so your majesty doesn't need to ask more questions."
After saying this, Tian Lingzi didn't stay any longer and walked directly outside the hall.
When he arrived at the door, he stopped and didn't turn around, but turned his head slightly: "Your Majesty, look at what you have ruined the country. Isn't the lesson of the Huang Chao Rebellion painful enough? Since you don't like to talk about I don’t have the ability to manage politics, so I’ll leave these things to our family. Wouldn’t it be good for you to continue to be your emperor, to play and have fun?”
The sunlight came in from the gate of the palace and fell on Tian Lingzi. The half of his face turned back was in the shadows, looking particularly deep and terrifying.

After saying these words, Tian Lingzi strode out, only the lingering voice came: "Come here, tell Zhongshu Sheng, tell Prime Minister Chen Jingxuan, from today onwards, all the memorials will be sent to our house!"
"yes!"
"Let Privy Envoy Yang Fuguang come to see our family!"
"yes!"
Li Yan looked at the empty hall in a daze, only feeling that the strength of his body was emptied all of a sudden, he could no longer stand, and fell to the ground.
