Outside Chang'an City, Yanmen Army Camp.

Li Keyong is entertaining the generals for a banquet.

Now that the Guanzhong war has ended, the imperial court's rewards have been completed, Li Keyong has also obtained the title of prince, and he has been transferred from Yanmen Jiedushi to Hedong Jiedushi, which is a pride. It is inevitable that the great generals in the army will be praised. However, facing the constant toasts of the generals, although Li Keyong smiled, the bitterness in his eyes has never dissipated.

After the banquet, Li Keyong returned to the central army tent. There was no one here, and even the clerk was sent away by him. Li Keyong sat behind the commander's case and fell into silence for a long time. Looking at the empty tent, he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a long time, two generals came together to ask for a meeting. One of them was the number one confidant, An Cunxiao, who was Li Keyong's number one confidant, but now the other party is no longer called An Cunxiao, but Li Cunxiao.

This time, the imperial court awarded him a lot, and Li Keyong's confidant generals also received the gift of the Li surname. The other person was introverted and introverted. Although he looked rough, no one would think that he was brave but not resourceful. He was also Li Keyong's confidant general, named Li Siyuan.

Because of Li Keyong's alliance with Tian Lingzi, although he did not have much significance in the process of quelling the Huang Chao Rebellion, he also gained a lot of benefits, and his "Bayier" under his command were given the surname Li.

The so-called "Bayier" is the most brave and good-for-war general under Li Keyong's command and the most elite division. They performed outstandingly in this battle and were well-known by other vassal states. Li Keyong naturally wanted to show closeness to such generals, so he took them all as adopted sons.

Speaking of which, Li Keyong is not thirty years old. Although "Bayier" is both young and brave, she is not much younger than him. For example, Li Cunxiao is two years younger than Li Keyong. However, it is understandable to adopt an adopted son as a popular trend nowadays.

"Master Huiming really fell into Li Ye's hands?" Li Keyong slowly raised his head and asked in a low voice.

The answer was Li Siyuan, and he said, "It's true. This time Li Ye went west to Fengxiang and made a shocking noise. The eighteen Vajras and Thirty-six Arhats and Eight Hundred Monks all died. The power of the Shimen plummeted. Not only did the high-level combat power in the Tang Dynasty lose all its power, but he lost the ability to shock the heroes in the Western Regions. I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover within twenty years."

Li Keyong pondered silently. Shimen had always been his arm help. Now that Shimen suffered a major blow, the power of his monks had dropped a lot. He fought with Shangrang on the same day. If Shimen had not helped, he would not be able to stop Shangrang's military battle formation at all.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?" Li Cunxiao asked. Li Keyong was named the prince and could be called His Highness.

Li Keyong was silent for a longer time this time.

From time to time, his wife Liu Yun walked out of the inner tent, came to Li Kerong to sit down, stroked his hand, looked at him with concern, and whispered: "King An is powerful and can no longer be an enemy. A real man can bend and stretched. Why not meet King An and see if there is any possibility of resolving his past grudges?"

Li Ke looked ugly and sighed for a long time, "I have a deep rift with King An, so I am afraid it will be difficult to meet and smile to eliminate grudges..."

Speaking of this, he could no longer say anything. Now Li Ye’s power is no longer comparable, and the soldiers and horses in the world are under his control. Even though Li Keyong considers himself very high, he knows that he cannot fight Li Ye at the moment. He is determined to let Li Ye down, but many things cannot be done just by wanting to do.

Liu Yun could naturally understand Li Keyong's difficulties. She couldn't bear to see that the other party was so difficult to make a decision, so she said, "Since you can't make friends with King An, then there is only Tian Lingzi's path left. Tian Lingzi's envoy has arrived. Should Your Highness meet?"

Li Keyong frowned: "What are Tian Lingzi's people doing at this time?"

Liu Yun stared at Li Keyong and said word by word: "He has a plan."

In the An Prince's Mansion, Li Ye was sitting opposite Yang Fuguang and drinking tea.

The two had been talking for half an hour and were talking about the battle to quell the turmoil. Yang Fuguang's face was flushed, and his eyebrows were full of joy. He was so happy, of course, 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 bright on his face.

Yang Fuguang thought with satisfaction: The nobles in the court are all heroes, and many people want to meet King An but cannot get it. But our family can chat with King An for so long. If others know in the future, who will not be polite when we see him? One person is so good, right?

Li Ye put down the tea bowl and smiled and said, "The Privy Councilor seems to have encountered a lot of trouble these days?"

Because of his great achievements, Yang Fuguang has already served as the Privy Councilor. The so-called four eunuchs refer to the left and right lieutenants of the Shence Army and the chief and deputy Privy Councilor of the Privy Council. Although Yang Fuguang's status is not as good as Tian Lingzi, it should not be underestimated.

"I have to thank His Highness An. If it weren't for the secret help from the Qingyi yamen, our family would have been dead several times." Speaking of this, Yang Fuguang's face changed, and he immediately sighed, "I don't know who it is, I want this worthless head of our family."

Li Ye asked with a smile: "The Privy Councilor really doesn't know?"

Yang Fuguang was slightly stunned and smiled bitterly: "Your Highness is a discerning person, so he naturally knows the twists and turns here. But our family has no intention of competing with him for anything. After all, he is in a high position now, so there is no way for our family to do this."

Li Ye said slowly: "I have a solution."

Yang Fuguang's eyes lit up: "Does King An want?"

He didn't say it thoroughly because there was no need to say it thoroughly. When Li Ye killed Liu Xingshen and Han Wen made an appointment, it was well known to everyone in the world.

Li Ye was unquestionable, his eyes were deep, making people unable to understand his true thoughts: "It is natural to be difficult to do it for no reason, and this requires an opportunity. The Privy Councilor does not need to be anxious, he just needs to wait for the opportunity to come."

He drank a sip of tea, meaning inexplicably: "There are always some people who are more anxious than us."

After Yang Fuguang left, Li Ye planned to go to rest. At this time, Su Emei and Song Jiao came together and discussed with Li Ye with important matters. The two of them were usually quite disliked, but they didn't expect that they would appear together this time.

"What's the matter?" Li Ye sat down casually at the round table, signaling Su Emei and Song Jiao to sit down too.

"There is a trouble in Pinglu." The two of them said in unison, and after they said that, they looked at each other. Song Jiao raised her eyebrows, and Su Emei looked calm and smiled slightly: "It's better for Commander Song to say it."

Song Jiao was indifferent. She looked at Li Ye with murderous intent and said word by word: "Pinglu has appeared... a demon!"

This time it was Li Ye's turn to be stunned: "Demon?"

Song Jiao said in a deep voice: "The information in the Qingyi Yamen is not wrong. A large group of monsters appeared out of thin air. They harmed many villages for disasters. They told everyone that you are their demon king. Now that you are the master of Pinglu, they will swallow all the creatures of Pinglu and increase their cultivation."

Li Ye sneered: "It's rare to be so crazy."

Seeing that Li Ye was not concerned, Su Emei took the initiative to speak out: "The so-called demon is a mountain cultivator. In ancient times, immortals lived in a mixed world, and there were many cultivation systems, and everyone could become an immortal. After the Taoist sect grew up, in order to dominate the whole family, he excluded all parties and eventually dominated the fairy court. The mountain cultivator, including monsters, spirits, and monsters, had no chance to make a comeback."

"The Immortal Court is the best blessed land of the cave, and it gathers the energy of heaven and earth. The best cultivation resources in the heaven and earth are all in the Immortal Court. Cultivators live here and can live for a long time. If the mortal monks cannot go to the Immortal Court, no matter how high their cultivation is, they will be destroyed. Therefore, the scattered cultivators in the mountains have always hated the Taoist Immortal Court and are incompatible. This time, for some reason, they are willing to be the minions of the Immortal Court."

Li Ye was silent. He had never heard of this, because there were no monsters on earth, and he was not allowed to become a spirit after the founding of the country. "What is the origin of the monster that has ruined Lu this time?"

Su Emei pondered for a moment, "I don't know yet. But since the other party has appeared, we should rush back as soon as possible. If they really let go of their hands and feet, I'm afraid Pinglu will be in chaos."

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Since that's the case, I'll order the army to train. There are not many things in Chang'an, and I have arranged everything that should be arranged."

Song Jiao and Su Emei nodded. They naturally knew about Li Ye’s plans.

On that day, the army of Pinglu was in charge, and Li Yan personally led all civil and military officials to see him off in Chang'an City.

Before this, all the vassal troops near Chang'an had returned to the town one after another. Speaking of which, the Pinglu Army was the last one to leave. The Huang Chao Rebellion had passed, and Chang'an, the capital of the capital, naturally returned to its previous order.

The Shang Rang troops, who attacked Chenzhou, were defeated after Zhu Wen rushed to the position of assistance.

"Brother Ye, you left like this. In the future, I am the only one left in Chang'an. If you have any troubles, 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 comforted: "Your Majesty has the help of all the officials to share the worries. Even if I am not here, I will not be too sad. If Your Majesty has an edict, I will come back at any time."

Li Yan was still unhappy, but after hearing Li Ye’s last words, he finally felt a little better. With Li Ye’s current cultivation level, he could indeed return to Chang’an at any time, and it took only half a day to travel back and forth. “I heard that there was a trouble in Pinglu, so I wouldn’t force myself to stay. Brother Ye took care of him.”

Li Ye clasped his fists and said, "Take care of your majesty."

Seeing Li Ye riding his horse to catch up with the Pinglu Army's troops, Tian Lingzi, who was standing beside Li Yan, smiled so hard that his eyes were narrowed. Of course, this was a silent laugh, and no one would notice it.

When they returned to the palace, Tian Lingzi immediately called Yang Fugong. The two of them lived in secret rooms and discussed important matters: "King An has left. Now, our plan is implemented immediately!"

Yang Fugong bowed to accept the order.

Tian Lingzi's plan was very simple. Shen Ce Army controlled the city defense of Chang'an, which would never change at any time. As a lieutenant of Shen Ce Army, he naturally had the qualifications to hold the emperor to command the princes! However, in the past, Tian Lingzi was not willing to break up.

A few days later.

Li Yan was resting in the bedroom. Tian Lingzi did not report it and broke in. Li Yan, who was leaning against the low-slum, saw Tian Lingzi enter the door and said in surprise: "Why are you here? I didn't announce you."

Tian Lingzi strode to Li Yan and looked down at him coldly: "From today, our family doesn't need His Majesty to announce it. When will our family meet His Majesty, we will meet you."

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized something, his face changed drastically, he jumped up, and roared in anger: "Tian Lingzi! Do you dare to change the palace?! Do you dare to hold me hostage?"

Tian Lingzi's face was not blushing, his heart was not beating, and he was calm and composed, but his eyes were particularly cold: "What does Your Majesty say? I just want Your Majesty to understand that in Chang'an City, there is nothing that Shen Ce Army can't do, and nothing that I, Tian Lingzi, cannot do!"

After saying that, Tian Lingzi waved his hand and a group of eunuchs rushed in. He ordered lightly: "From today, you must take good care of your Majesty's diet and daily life. If something goes wrong, you will know what will happen."

The eunuchs immediately bent down to meet the promise.

Li Yan was so angry that he trembled all over. Tian Lingzi's meaning was very clear. From now on, he would be placed under house arrest and surveillance Li Yan. "Tian Lingzi! You dog slave, do you dare?! Are you not afraid that King An will take the head on your neck?!"

"King An? He has left. Besides, your Majesty is relieved. Our family is well-behaved, and the people outside the palace will not notice it. Anyway, before the Huang Chao Rebellion, Your Majesty ignored political affairs, and those ministers could not see Your Majesty, and no one would say anything now."

Tian Lingzi sneered: "Our family was soft-hearted before. From now on, our family will not be so polite to Your Majesty."

"Where is the master left by King An?"

"Master? Our family has broken in, and they have not moved. Why is this? Could it be that Your Majesty still not? "

Tian Lingzi looked down on his eyes, "To be honest, although the masters left by King An are not low in cultivation, they are almost the same as those of the greater internal masters. After all, as a minister, King An, who is left to His Majesty, his cultivation level cannot be better than His Majesty's own people. This just gives us a chance."

"You...even if that's the case, you're a lot of experts. How could your people kill them quietly?!"

"Our family has its own nobles to help you, so your Majesty doesn't need to ask more."

After saying this, Tian Lingzi did not stop and walked directly outside the hall.

When he arrived at the door, he stopped, did not turn around, but turned 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 manage politics and have no ability to manage politics, then these things will be left to our family. Wouldn't it be just right for you to continue to be your emperor and have fun?"

The sunlight shone in from the hall gate and fell on Tian Lingzi. His half of his face turned around was particularly deep and terrifying in the shadows.

After saying these words, Tian Lingzi strode out, only the lingering voice came: "Come here, tell the Secretariat, tell Prime Minister Chen Jingxuan that from today on, all the memorials will be delivered to our house!"

"yes!"

"Let Privy Councilor Yang Fuguang come to see our house!"

"yes!"
Chapter completed!
