Chapter sixty-fifth of the situation (4)

(Fourth update)

As he said that, he turned his head to look at Li Ye: "I wonder if Li Shaoyin likes this green ant wine too?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "Why don't I think this wine is very strong?"

The man blinked strangely: "Is my tongue not working?"

Li Ye said: "I'm afraid you're already drunk. People who are drunk will naturally say that the wine is strong."

The man laughed: "If you are drunk with a strong wine, wouldn't it be embarrassing."

As he said that, he raised the wine pot to Li Ye, "Whether the wine is strong or not, I would like to use this wine to congratulate His Highness An on his position as the Young Mentor of Chang'an Prefecture." As he said that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the wine pot in one gulp.

His drinking action was very heroic, but the wine did not spill a drop, which showed that he was not pretending to be heroic.

Li Ye likes people who love wine because he is also such a person. People always have a good impression of people with similar smells, so he also drinks all the wine in the wine pot in one go.

Chang'an Prefecture, also known as Jingzhao Prefecture, is the chief official and the hostess of the prefecture. However, they are all princes, so they are not in charge of the affairs of the prefecture. They are the prefecture rulers, who are from the third rank. Under the prefecture rulers, there are two young ranks and fourth ranks.

The six ministers of the Ministry of Justice are all fourth-rank, but they are only fourth-rank officials. However, from this we can see that the fourth-rank officials are definitely not idle. Li Ye has the title of prince, and under normal circumstances, the starting point of becoming an official will not be low, but it is still very rare to get a real-powered official position like the Shaoyin of Chang'an Prefecture.

Among them, his outstanding performance during the assessment was certainly one of the reasons, but more importantly, someone helped him.

After drinking, the young man carrying a long sword looked at Li Ye and asked, "Your Highness asked someone out today, isn't it just for the sake of drinking?"

This young man is naturally the number one in Nangong.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Is drinking a big deal? Isn't it worth visiting Nangong Sishou?"

Nangong glared at first: "Of course it's worth it. There is nothing more important than drinking except practice!" As he said that, he smiled, "Anyway, my nobleman is not here to ask me for a gift." Then he sat up straight, "I just don't know who invited this wine?"

Li Ye said: "Of course I'm asking."

Nangong First laughed: "The wine invited by others will taste particularly mellow!" As he said that, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Waiter, put two more pots of green ants!"

Having said that, before the wine was served, Nangong First bared his teeth and touched his forehead, saying, "The matter of Niu Shou Mountain has come to an end in the Imperial Heaven Prison, and the result is four words: It's incomplete. The Imperial Heaven Prison is no longer the same as before. There is no way to use a great gate like Zhongnan Mountain, and the above are unwilling to investigate it. I fought hard that day, which was wasted!"

As he said that, the wine had been brought up. Nangong first picked up one of the pots, pulled out the lid and drank it hard.

From this, Li Ye learned that Chi Qinglian's affairs would not be in trouble for the time being, and he felt at peace.

......

Nangong No. 1 was drunk and was finally carried back by the monks from the Imperial Heavenly Prison. In fact, when it reached Nangong No. 1, it was much more difficult to get drunk than not, but if a person wants to get drunk, he would never stop him.

When Nangong first left, dusk fell, and Song Jiao came out of nowhere. She stood beside Li Ye, with a blurry figure: "Kang Chengxun is going back to Beijing."

Li Ye, who was still carrying a pot of wine, frowned slightly: "He just returned to Beijing to work some time ago, why are he back?"

After Song Jiao arrived at Prince An's Mansion, according to Li Ye's wishes, she had already started to establish an intelligence agency. When she followed Li Xian, she did this, so she was familiar with it. The matter of secretly recruiting monks from the An's Mansion to establish intelligence forces has been going on for almost two months.

Song Jiao sneered: "The story of Li Guanshu has spread all over the world. Although Wei Baoheng made him a name for his death for the country, it was just a matter of overwhelming and backfired. The court asked Kang Chengxun to serve as the governor of Hedong and went to Hedong to check and balance the three towns of Hebei, which had always been arrogant, especially Li Guochang, the governor of Zhenwu, who had expanded his power in recent years."

Li Guochang, one of the heroes in the late Tang Dynasty, and the father of Li Keyong. After Zhu Quanzhong usurped the Tang Dynasty, he established Daliang in the Central Plains and was the first dynasty of the Five Dynasties. Li Keyong was the King of Jin at that time, so he owned the land of the Three Jins and fought with Zhu Quanzhong for years.

Song Jiao continued: "But after the incident of Li Guanshu, Li Guochang looked down on the court more and more. He had long regarded Kang Chengxun as a thorn in his side. He recently sent experts to sneak into Hedong secretly and caused many chaos, but Kang Chengxun could not calm down. Kang Chengxun was crazy and tried his best to plunder money after he arrived in Hedong. After he arrived in Hedong, he tried his best to plunder money and did not care about his soldiers. He was dissatisfied with the whole country. Now that this incident happened, the Hedong army was in anger. Seeing that it could not control the situation, Kang Chengxun had to ask Wei Baoheng for help and return to the capital to take refuge."

"In short, although Kang Chengxun was not expelled by the Hedong Army, it was almost the same. If he hadn't run fast, he would have been afraid that the outcome would not be good."

Li Ye sneered: "So, he left Hedong and returned to Beijing in a hurry. Was he leaving his post without permission?"

In recent years, it is common for soldiers to expel Jiedu. Although there are reasons for the arrogant generals, the expelled Jiedu will never escape one crime: not caring about the soldiers and causing dissatisfaction with the soldiers.

Originally, there were more than 50 vassal states in the world, only the three towns in Hebei were always arrogant, but as the government became increasingly dim and the country's power declined, the arrogant soldiers and generals were no longer unique to the three towns in Hebei.

Song Jiao replied: "The court had no orders before. Kang Chengxun left the town rashly, so he naturally left his post without permission. This crime will not be small. But as the prime minister, Wei Baoheng, who is in charge of the center, should help him resolve this matter. At least, he will not be allowed to bear the crime unilaterally."

Li Ye sneered: "In order to protect Kang Chengxun and reduce his crimes, Wei Baoheng of course had to denounce the Hedong Army, saying that they were unruly and forced Kang Chengxun to leave the town. Kang Chengxun had been out of town for some time, plundering the people's wealth and ointment, which was a harm to the people. The Hedong Army was also angry. Now the court still had to denounce them, which would of course increase their dissatisfaction with the court."

"Wei Baoheng's actions will only harm the prestige of the court, which will make the court separate from the vassal states and the people. Once there is chaos in the world, how can the soldiers and generals of the vassal states and the people in the world be willing to do their best to help the court deal with the chaotic army? Wei Baoheng's country insects should be cut into pieces!"

He remembered his previous life. Huang Chao was in trouble in the world. At first, it was just a group of bandits. The court's soldiers fought against him, and they had many victories, forcing the other party to flee everywhere. However, the power struggle in the court was too strong. It only looked at the party and not the meritorious ones. Those who made meritorious ones were not rewarded, and those who made mistakes were not punished. Whenever the war was about to win, they would replace good generals and appoint incompetent personal confidants, which led to the inability to completely wipe out Huang Chao.

Finally, when Huang Chao raised his troops to attack Guanzhong, the vassal states along the way actually ignored the imperial orders and let them pass through, which led to the fall of Chang'an.

The vassal states on all sides of Guanzhong were originally set up to protect Guanzhong and serve as a barrier to Chang'an. These vassal state soldiers were not unable to defeat Huang Chao, but were unwilling to work hard in the end.

Song Jiao was silent for a moment. After the Battle of Bagong Mountain, she had already given up on the court. She didn't care about this at the moment. She said to Li Ye: "When the Pang Xun Rebellion was pacified that day, Kang Chengxun and Li Guanshu were both on the front line and were the executioners of the Battle of Bagong Mountain. Now Kang Chengxun fled back from Hedong, he would inevitably be in a panic. He would not be able to arrive in Chang'an for some time. This is our opportunity."

Li Ye looked at the nightfall and felt like he was choking. He drank the wine in his hand in one sip, and his eyes became sharp: "Kill!"
