Chapter 6: The First Night of Datang

"Your Highness, let's have something to eat, I just asked someone to buy it at a nearby market."

At night, the south bank of the Wei River was exceptionally quiet, and when the daytime happened, Tian Lingzi, who was resting at night, was more attentive to the defense work, and arranged his close generals and their soldiers in the inner perimeter, while the others were on guard on the periphery.

After a day's journey, all the people were tired, and sat around the fire and rested. Even Li Yi, who had fled before and didn't forget to have fun, lost interest after the day, and the two concubines next to him also had a lot less words, and they were obviously frightened.

After Li Ye went to greet him, he returned to his carriage, and Father-in-law Zhang next to him hurriedly took out food from the carriage.

Seeing that his prince was looking at the big meatloaf in his hand in a daze, Father-in-law Zhang explained in a panic, "Your Highness forgives us, we are fleeing, and we can't buy anything good, so we can only use this for a while." When I get to Chengdu, it will be much better. ”

"It's okay, this is good."

Li Ye shook his head, he was not in a daze because this food was too simple, but for the first time he saw the meatloaf of the Tang Dynasty, he felt a little strange. And it's not that simple, the others eat it even simpler, it's a pancake, and then add some other things to it.

"Father-in-law Zhang, Xiaoyue, Xiaoying, sit down and eat!"

"The slave (slave) doesn't dare!"

"Sit down, you don't have to be so particular outside."

"Yes, Your Highness Xie!"

"Satsuki, divide all these cakes, I... You can't eat so much alone. Li Ye has never been able to change this title, everyone calls it that, and he is a little out of place when he uses an alternative name alone. In order to follow the local customs, he can only try his best to change his habit of addressing the people.

"Your Highness!"

The people around Li Ye are all from his palace, there are two fathers-in-law, two palace maids, and the chief of the palace and a small servant, and there are ten guards left.

The two fathers-in-law are the father-in-law Zhang in front of him and the little eunuch who drove the carriage. Father-in-law Zhang's full name is Zhang Wei, and the name sounds good, but he has lost his utensils as a man, and to put it bluntly, he is a poor person. From the previous inquiry, it was learned that when Gonggong Zhang was about 10 years old, because his family was poor, he entered the palace and was responsible for serving Li Ye after Li Ye opened the mansion. The little eunuch who drove the carriage was surnamed Wang, called Wang Cheng, who was only 6 years older than Li Ye, and was only 20 years old this year, and he had not served Li Ye for long. In fact, Li Ye had a few eunuchs who had followed him for many years before, but they died in the eunuch infighting.

Don't underestimate the eunuchs at this time, most of the emperors in the middle and late Tang Dynasty were canonized by eunuchs, including Li Yi, and Tang Zhaozong in history.

The two palace maids are naturally Xiaoyue and Xiaoying.

The long history of Shouwangfu is surnamed Pei, the full name is Pei Rong, from the Wenxi Pei family, Jinshi during the Qianfu period, 35 years old this year. The little guy's name is Zhao Kai, 17 years old this year.

The remaining ten guards were part of the palace guards that Li Yi had assigned when Li Ye opened the mansion.

The captain of the guard is called Li Hong, of course, he is not a clan, and he was not surnamed Li originally. Li Hong's ancestor used to be the general of the Shence Army, and he was given the emperor's surname because of his great achievements, but in Li Hong's generation, because the Shence Army had been controlled by eunuchs, he was unwilling to go along with it, so he was kicked out of the Shence Army and sent to Shouwangfu to serve as the commander of the palace's personal soldiers.

The previous arrow was shot by the other party, of course, the other party did not make meritorious service because of this arrow, but was slandered by Tian Lingzi regardless of the safety of the saint, with Li Ye's intercession, Li Hong was not punished, which also made Li Ye even more disgusted with Tian Lingzi and other eunuchs.

Li Hong is a family of military generals, although it is now declining, but the martial arts have not fallen, proficient in riding and archery, and good at making a lance. It's just that because of the hurry of this escape, the ancestral horse lance that was placed at home was not brought, and even the armor on his body was just an ordinary mountain chain mail, not the Mingguang armor handed down from his ancestors.

Li Hong is not good-looking, he belongs to the kind of person who can't be found in the crowd when he takes off his armor. However, his height is quite tall, six feet tall, burly, according to Li Ye's imagination, this kind of person should be suitable for fighting on the battlefield, rather than serving as a captain of the royal army.

"Li Hong, are you worried about your family?"

Seeing Li Hong eating silently there, with a trace of sorrow between his eyebrows, thinking that the other party had already married a family, Li Ye asked this question.

"Please forgive your sins!" Hearing Li Ye's 'questioning', Li Hong hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty, for fear that Li Ye would use the question to play.

"Get up, what's wrong with missing your family? But now Chang'an City should have been occupied by the rebels, even if you go back, it's useless, I believe that Huangchao is already thinking about becoming the emperor, right? Li Ye laughed at himself.

"He dares, this is the world of the Tang Dynasty, if he is a smuggler who dares to be the emperor, the generals of all the feudal towns will not allow him." Hearing that Huang Chao was going to be the emperor, Pei Rong was immediately indignant, and he had the urge to go back and fight with Huang Chao immediately, even if he was just a literati.

Li Hong next to him also looked excited, forgetting his family's situation for the time being, obviously not believing that Huang Chao had such courage.

"Domain? If there is still a court in the heart of the feudal town, how can Huangchao hit Chang'an? If the feudal town is not removed, Datang will no longer be Datang. Li Ye said sarcastically, but his voice was very low, and he didn't want to be heard by the people who were unexpected in the palace.

There is a reason why most of the peasant uprisings failed in history, and the estimation of success is that Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bang are actually not peasants. Whether it is Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Huangchao Rebellion at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zicheng and others at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Because of the pattern, they can easily make mistakes. Just like Huang Chao, if you are not in a hurry to claim the emperor, but send troops to chase and kill the fleeing Xizong and others, and then use Chang'an and other places in Guanzhong to support the puppet royal family, it may not be impossible to win the world. It's a pity that after he invaded Chang'an in history, he was attracted by the prosperity of Chang'an, and he didn't plan to chase the fleeing Emperor at all, but was busy claiming the emperor and looting treasures. It can be said that Huang Chao still treats his troops as a rogue army, and so looting Chang'an and other places, it is even more impossible for the people in Guanzhong to support Huang Chao, and when the Tang Dynasty exile court relaxes its breath, there are a lot of people who are willing to come to King Qin.

The reason why the various sections did not move at the beginning was because they thought that the emperor was dead or captured. After learning that Xizong was safe and sound, they all wanted to gain greater power and higher status through King Qin, although the imperial court's control of the Kanto region was no longer enough, but after all, the Tang Dynasty had not died, and the imperial court was still the nominal highest power center.

When Zhu Wen, the pig slaughterer, got up, the Tang Dynasty was really not far from extinction, but at this time Zhu Wen should still be serving in the Huangchao Army.

"But the feudal town can't be eliminated if you want to, Your Majesty 。。。。。 now" Speaking of this, Pei Rong didn't dare to continue, but Li Ye's performance surprised him a little, and Li Ye was not this kind of performance before. Maybe it was this accident that made Li Ye, the prince of the imperial family, mature a lot, if the other party was the emperor, would it be much better than the one not far away?

Pei Rong was also frightened by his own thoughts, looked up at Li Ye with a young face, and sighed in his heart. If you want to change the current decline of the imperial court, you must not only solve the feudal town, but also rectify the power of the eunuchs, but neither of these things is easy, otherwise how could the court allow the development of the feudal towns and the power of the eunuchs?

Li Ye slept with a lot of questions this night, and before going to bed, he thought a lot, how to change the situation, how to change his own situation, and not be displaced. According to history, rely on the succession of the eunuchs, or other paths?

In the end, after thinking about it, Li Ye found a problem, he was too young, and he had no power or power, so it was in vain to think so much. So in his thoughts, Li Ye spent his first night in this time and space in the wilderness on the south bank of the Wei River.
