Chapter 125 End and Beginning
The death of Liu Xingshen and Han Wen's appointment declared that the palace changes came to an end. Li Yan successfully entered the palace. He saw Li Yan in the bedroom, who was still unconscious. This enjoyable emperor had a good fortune. The outside was turned upside down, and he could still sleep like no one was fine.
Immediately, Li Yan issued an imperial edict in the name of Li Yan, saying that Liu Xingshen and Han Wen's intention to rebel. Li Yan noticed it in time, so he led everyone to rescue him. Now the thief was executed, and the major matter was settled.
Under the leadership of Tian Lingzi, the Shence Army withdrew from Chang'an City. The entire palace garrison was temporarily under the responsibility of the army of the Prince Pu's Mansion, the army of the Prince An's Mansion, Li Maozhen and Wang Jian's troops.
The masters of the Shence Army in the palace city surrendered one after another, and Li Yan did not do anything to them. The power of the Shence Army was still too great. Even if Li Yan had already controlled the palace city, he could not kill all the masters of the Shence Army. He could only let Tian Lingzi temporarily command the Shence Army.
Fortunately, Tian Lingzi served as the capital of Shence Army. The time has been long and he has not encountered any obstacles.
A palace change killed Liu Xingshen and Han Wen's agreement with their direct relatives. The rest of the Shence Army were not declared guilty. As a huge interest group, the Shence Army itself is unshakable. They will continue to maintain control over Chang'an City. The only difference is that Li Yan will give them a leader who is loyal to him.
This leader is undoubtedly Tian Lingzi.
When Li Yan was busy in the palace city, Li Ye helped Li Xian to Kangfufang.
Li Xian asked Li Ye to send him back, but it was really a matter of nothing to make trouble. After the battle in Xi Neiyuan, Li Xian vomited a lot of blood and was extremely weak. Even when he walked, he was in a state of vain.
At this time, the third update was over, and there was no one on the street. Because of the turmoil in the palace, the Shen Ce army rushed into the city. Every household turned off the window and turned off the lights. It was pitch black and quiet. There was only the sound of the two people's footsteps, which seemed a little abrupt on the empty street.
"No matter which prince succeeds to the throne, I can't appear before the world again." Li Xian said, "If my legs are quite convenient in the future, I will walk around the world. If it is inconvenient, I am afraid I can only live in Taoist temples."
Li Ye of course understood what Li Xian meant.
He was originally a dead person. If he appeared again, he would have to rewrite the history of the Battle of Bagong Mountain. There was nothing to change in the facts. Although Li Xian was wronged, the title given to him by the court was quite decent.
There is nothing to rehabilitate if you die due to the suspicion of the king.
However, with Li Ye here, it was easy for Li Xian to build a Taoist temple and let him live in seclusion.
Only Jinxiu Pavilion is still on the lights in the entire Kangfu House.
To be precise, it is a room in Jinxiu Pavilion, with lights on.
Li Ye looked up at Jinxiu Pavilion.
Li Xian said calmly: "The lights are the place to go."
Li Xian was handed over to Liu Sanniang who was crying but desperately enduring it. Li Ye did not stop for too long. The palace city affairs were not over yet, and he still wanted to go back and take a look.
......
The palace transformation ended, and Li Han did not wake up. In the end, he died before this winter.
Li Yan successfully ascended the throne, and while revising the reign of the emperor, he also rewarded all the meritorious officials.
Those who worked in the Palace Transformation were all rewarded satisfactorily. Tian Lingzi became the lieutenant of the Shence Army, Li Maozhen and Wang Jian were promoted. Nangong first became the head of the Imperial Heaven Supervisor and the Imperial Heaven Supervisor Temple, Li Ye became the prefect of Chang'an. As for Xu Shaomu, he was transferred and left very satisfied. Before leaving, he gave Li Ye a large box of books, saying that it was his private collection.
After defeating Liu Xingshen and Han Wen, Li Ye's name spread all over the world again. This time the sensation was even greater than when he defeated Wei Baoheng, and the people's expectations reached a new high. Not only Chang'an City, but also the entire Central Plains were teleporting Li Ye's reputation, which became the second Li Xian trend. In addition to being promoted, Li Ye finally, with the continuous gathering of luck, was promoted to the seventh level of Qi training.
Later, Li Ye went to Yipinlou, but he never saw Huang Chao again. Even the old man who was blind in the storytelling was gone by the stairs on the lobby on the first floor. Li Ye also sent someone to inquire and found that Huang Chao had not participated in the spring curtain and disappeared directly from Chang'an.
Li Ye built a Taoist temple for Li Xian outside Chang'an City. Liu Sanniang followed him into the Taoist temple and kept taking care of Li Xian's daily life. Song Jiao and Liu Dazheng would go to the Taoist temple from time to time to talk to Li Xian.
After Li Yan ascended the throne, his behavior was no different from Li Yan. He didn't pay much attention to political affairs on weekdays and was a good at having fun. Li Ye tried to persuade him a few times at first, but later he found that the country was easy to change and his nature was difficult to change, so he stopped persuading him.
Less than a year after Li Yan ascended the throne, Lu Yan and Wang Duo started to slap. The reason was that Lu Yan flattered and flattered Li Yan very happily, so he became more and more favored and his power became greater and greater. So he was corrupt and abused the law, just like another Wei Baoheng, and Wang Duo was upright and often spoke out for advice, but gradually he was neglected.
After less than half a year of fighting, Wang Duo was demoted and was released from the state.
After Tian Lingzi replaced Liu Xingshen and Han Wen's agreement, he became the most powerful person in Chang'an City. Except for Li Ye, he took no one seriously, and even Lu Yan had to be polite when he saw him. Tian Lingzi was not a good person, and was only responsible for embezzlement and bribery and making Li Yan happy.
In the first year of Qianfu, Li Yan ascended the throne in the early years. After a severe drought, heavy floods and natural disasters caused shortage of food. The imperial court imposed heavy taxes, which led to starvation and death, which eventually led to man-made disasters. Wang Xianzhi of Puyang, Shang Junchang and others took the lead in the process. After capturing the prefectures and counties, they fell into several states in succession, and the momentum rose sharply and the world was shaken.
In the second year of Qianfu, Huang Chao gathered a group to carry out affairs and responded to Wang Xianzhi.
After that, the riots fought in the north and south, siege cities and plundered land, and developed into hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
The imperial court ordered Huainan, Zhongwu, Xuanwu, Yicheng and Tianping to join forces to fight.
Since then, the government army has been defeated more and won less, and the court has changed its commands many times, but the rebellious soldiers have never been able to calm down, but the momentum has become stronger and stronger.
In the fourth year of Qianfu, Huang Chao captured Yunzhou, killed the governor of Tianping, and then captured Yizhou. In order to prevent the rebellious soldiers from controlling Ziqing, the court appointed Li Ye as the governor of Pinglu to curb the rebellious soldiers and plunder.
The Jiedushi of Pinglu was under the jurisdiction of Qi, Zi, Qing, Lai, Deng and other prefectures. It was bordered by the sea in the east and bounded by Mount Tai in the west, adjacent to Yun and Yizhou.
......
Xi Nei Garden has been repaired as before, and the spring sunshine is just right.
Li Yan was feeding 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, but it's a lot of noise. Some civil and military officials in the court are leading soldiers, and some vassal states in the world have sufficient elite soldiers. It's easy to pacify them. Why do you have to go there in person? How tired are you? Wouldn't you be free and comfortable to stay in Chang'an?"
Li Ye sat in the pavilion and looked at him, shook his head and said, "Think about it, the rioters have been on the rise for four years. If they can be easily pacified, they will not delay it until today. The court has changed its command several times, and although they have won some victories, these rioters are not stranded in the place, but are fighting around and running around. It is not easy to encircle and annihilate them."
Speaking of this, Li Yan was a little angry. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's all because of the poor fighting in the vassal states! When they were watching each other before the war, no one was willing to rush forward. Once the rioters came in large numbers, they would scatter their feet, just to preserve their own strength and refuse to be loyal to the court! On the contrary, when they asked for money and food from the court, they were louder than the other. I was so angry that I was so angry!"
What Li Yan said is the truth, but not the whole thing.
The vassal states waited and saw each other, but no one was willing to suffer losses. Although the army did not win quickly, the official army won several great victories, forcing the rebellious soldiers to be defeated. However, due to party disputes, the court wanted to win the war, which led to the sudden change of command several times, giving the rebellious soldiers an opportunity to take advantage of. It is also an unquestionable fact.
When the war is unfavorable, let the good general lead the troops. Once they gain an advantage and feel that they are sure to win, they will replace the good general and let their confidants come on the stage. As a result, they will ruin the fruits obtained by the hard work of the good generals and allow the riots to survive.
This is what Lu Yan does.
In addition, the generals sent by the court did not punish them if they had great mistakes, and were rewarded with great achievements. After the military soldiers of the vassal states achieved military achievements, the court was stingy with rewards. Once the crime of defeat was held, they were pushed to the vassal states. Such rewards and punishments were unknown, resulting in a huge reduction in the prestige of the court. The military soldiers of the vassal states, which were originally working hard, gradually became dissatisfied and became negative.
Various disputes of interests are filled with this dispute over quelling the chaos, but they are not well coordinated. This is the fundamental reason why the war cannot be won.
Li Ye couldn't tell Li Yan in detail this, and he wouldn't listen to it even after he said it, and he might not agree with it even after he heard it.
He had no choice but to say: "The soldiers and horses of the vassal states are watching each other on the battlefield, and no one is willing to do their best. This requires the court to set up a typical example of brave fighting. At the same time, the various vassal states are dissatisfied with each other, and the court also needs to send important officials to subdue the towns and make them obey the court's orders."
Speaking of this, Li Ye smiled: "Although I have no prestige, I am the prince of the dynasty after all, and everyone in the world knows that I am favored by Your Majesty, so I can rely on Your Majesty's prestige. With Your Majesty's power in heaven, who dares not accept it in various vassal states?"
Li Yan smiled bitterly and said, "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, arranged a lot of things and asked them to prepare for each of them.
I don’t know how long it will take to go out to rule the vassal states, so Li Ye took all the eight hundred soldiers of the royal palace. These soldiers have also followed Li Xian to fight, and should be used on the battlefield and guarding the royal palace, but they are just underusing their talents.
A few days later, everything was settled, Li Yan's edict had been issued, and Li Ye had made a statement to inform the world of Li Ye's departure from Pinglu. The governor Jie Yue also came to Li Ye's hands, everything was ready, and he would wait to choose an auspicious day to set off.
Li Xian had no intention of leaving with Li Ye, and his body could no longer withstand the toss and cons.
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 achieved the realm of realm, there was basically no hindrance in the secular world. The only obsession he still had was the country and country of the Tang Dynasty.
Born and die. This is Li Xian.
It was night, and the moon was bright in the sky.
Li Ye sat on the roof, picked up a pot of wine, and drank it alone.
After the wine pot was empty, he stood up and bathed in the night breeze without saying a word.
He worked hard for a long time to leave the vassal state.
When you arrive at the vassal state, you will reach the world and the world.
He took a big step on the road to becoming an immortal.
And what greeted him was more challenges.
