Chapter 053 The father is kind and the son is filial
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Xiaohuangmen departed from Lingwu and arrived in Guazhou after a dusty journey.
Being canonized by the emperor's father gave him the power to "act according to circumstances", which also surprised Li Yan.
[Get the emperor's canonization, get the opportunity to act, mobilize the power of the armies in Longyou Road, and get 100 luck points every month!]
This system is also a bit stingy, only adding 100 luck points every month.
But it makes sense to think about it. As the emperor, I always say nice things. How could the troops of Longyou Dao obey me just because of an imperial edict?
Because the main elite of the Moli Army had been destroyed, only Xue Cheng, an inexperienced brigade commander, was left, and Zhang Xian, the governor of Guazhou, had a cowardly character, so Li Yan took control of the Moli Army by pulling the skin of a tiger.
But even so, Li Yan continued to reward Mo Li's army, which stabilized the morale of the army.
There are only 500 troops left in the Moli Army, but there are still 5,000 elite soldiers in the Doulu Army in Shazhou. How could they obey Li Yan just because of an imperial edict in his hand?
The symbolic significance of this imperial edict is greater than its practical significance. If Li Yan is powerful, then the troops in Longyou will naturally obey his orders.
But if Li Yan is weak, then this imperial edict will be like a piece of waste paper.
Li Yan also retained some memories of the original owner of the body. When his father fled to Lingwu a few months ago, many generals in Shuofang Town looked down upon the fled emperor. During military discussions, one general often
With his back to his father, he often drew his sword in the military tent and said some domineering words.
At that time, his father could only take out the jewelry he had with him and reward these unruly generals. He waited until Guo Ziyi took control of Shuofang before suppressing these generals.
This imperial edict at most represents Li Yan's claim to possess Long You Dao. Whether he can win it or not depends on his ability.
And Li Yan also knew that the Li royal family were all political animals, and this reward was not a reflection of how much his father loved him, but just to balance the growing power of the prince.
Li Yan, the prince with the qualifications to inherit, can also balance the prince's power and make the prince restrain himself.
However, these methods are all leftover from the tricks of the imperial grandfather Li Longji.
Li Yan looked at the little yellow door and said, "What's your name?"
"Reporting to the prince, this slave has a humble name but a precious name."
This eunuch was young and had a good-looking face. He then kowtowed and said, "The saint ordered his servants to serve His Highness."
Li Yan didn't like these disabled eunuchs very much, but Ju Wenzhen was probably the person sent by his father to monitor him, so Li Yan nodded and accepted them.
"You can work in Bafu from now on, but I am used to doing things myself and don't like to be waited on."
Ju Wenzhen didn't force it, she just stood aside with a low eyebrow.
Li Yangao took a closer look at Ju Wenzhen and found that this little eunuch was quite a sensible guy.
"Is your father in good health? Is there anything major happening in Lingwu recently?"
Ju Wenzhen lowered his head and smiled. As expected, His Highness asked about the situation in Lingwu.
Ju Wenzhen is an ambitious little yellow man. He is not willing to be a low-level little yellow man for the rest of his life. His ambition is to become a powerful eunuch like Li Fuguo!
Just when other young eunuchs were avoiding the hard work of entering Longyou, Ju Wenzhen decisively volunteered to take over the hard work.
Before leaving Lingwu, he spent all his savings over the years and inquired about the latest developments in the Lingwu court.
Ju Wenzhen said in an organized manner: "This slave is Lingwu who left in November. At that time, the most shocking thing for the court was the defeat of Prime Minister Fang Guan."
Li Yan nodded, the news of Fang Guan's defeat had already reached Longyou, and that defeat cost tens of thousands of Tang Dynasty's elites.
"When the servant left Lingwu, although the prime minister still held the position of Ping Zhangshi under Tong Zhongshu, everyone knew that he had lost the favor of the saint, and it was only a matter of time before he was dismissed."
Li Yan nodded. As prime minister, Fang Guan's only contribution was to persuade Emperor Li Longji to abdicate.
Originally, this merit was enough for him to stay in the phase for a long time, but this guy insisted on imitating Zhao Kuo's ability to talk about war on paper and to personally manage the war.
The result was that the elite of the Tang Dynasty were ruined in vain, and the recovery of the two capitals was once again delayed.
Although the prime minister in the Tang Dynasty held a position above one person and more than ten thousand people, whether he could be a prime minister or not depended on his relationship with the emperor.
Without the Holy Family, it was only a matter of time before Fang Guan, a prime minister with no foundation, would be dismissed.
Li Yan nodded. He and Fang Guan had little interaction. When Li Yan left Lingwu, Fang Guan had just arrived in Lingwu.
Li Yan only felt that he deserved to be dismissed from Fang Guan. If it hadn't been for this guy's random micro-management, he wouldn't have ruined tens of thousands of elites in the Tang Dynasty.
"Is there anything else important?"
Ju Wenzhen continued: "Another thing is that before the emperor abdicated, he successively appointed King Wu and King Guo as the governor of Henan, and also appointed King Yong as the governor of Yangzhou."
"After the saint heard the emperor's appointment, he was worried that the kings had no experience in battle and underestimated the enemy and rushed in to bury the elites in vain. He was planning with the ministers how to protect these clans."
Li Yan showed a sarcastic smile. This old Li's balancing hand skill was indeed a family talent.
Here, the father, Li Heng, is playing a balancing act between himself and the crown prince, while his imperial grandfather, Li Longji, was still playing a balancing act between his father and his uncles before he abdicated.
Henan Road included a large area of land from Shandong to Henan in later generations, which was the prosperous area of Qilu.
To the north of Henan Road is Hebei Road, the home of Anlu Mountain.
It can be said that Henan Road is the front line of counterinsurgency and a key place that affects the situation of the war.
The military governor of Henan was Helan Jinming. This guy did not follow Anlushan's rebellion, but insisted on resisting the rebels in Henan.
Before the emperor abdicated, he issued an order to replace Helan Jinming with his son, Li Yan's uncle.
And Yangzhou is a land of great wealth. Nowadays, the materials needed for counterinsurgency are basically transported in Yangzhou.
The emperor's uncle, Yongwang Li Lin, is his father's old enemy. He has always been the emperor's pawn to balance his father, which is similar to Li Yan's current status.
When Li Lin was allowed to enter Yangzhou, the emperor was also afraid that the world would not be chaotic enough.
This is a really heart-warming family with a loving father and a filial son, and brothers, friends and brothers respectful to each other.
Li Yan sighed, but the chaos in the Central Plains had nothing to do with him for the time being.
With the little power he has in his hands, he cannot influence the war situation in the Central Plains.
And according to the information compiled by the players, the Anlushan Rebellion was not so easy to put down, and he still had time to farm.
After arranging for Ju Wenzhen to go down, Li Yan finally got down to business.
Shake people!
This time he wants to recruit 150 players. At the same time, in order to increase the popularity of the game, Li Yan "spent huge sums of money" to purchase a video function so that players can record in the future!
