Chapter 57: Good News from Chang'an (Fourth Watch)
"Your Highness, General Liu may be sincere, or he may be doing it on purpose, no matter what, it will not harm His Highness." Pei Rong paused and said seriously.
"Why?" Li Ye also wanted to hear the opinion of this person who was considered the representative of his first team.
Although Pei Rong is now going to the Tiance Army to serve as the marching Sima, Li Ye did not snub him because of this, but because the other party managed the daily chores of the Tiance Army in an orderly manner, he saw his ability and was more satisfied with it.
"His Royal Highness is nothing more than a friend of the Sun family and the Liu family, and he is afraid that his power will be too great, so he will take the lead. In fact, His Highness was too worried.
In the next words, the lower officials may have a lot of presumptuous words, and I hope that His Royal Highness will not blame. β
"Say it."
"Yes, Your Highness." Seeing Li Ye's obvious attitude, Pei Rong also breathed a sigh of relief, he saw the changes in the other party in the past few months, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, "Your Highness, as far as the minister knows, because of the princess, the relationship between the two families is a little delicate.
Now the daughter of the Liu family is about to become the main concubine of His Royal Highness, and the daughter of the Sun family is only a side concubine, which in itself is an irreconcilable contradiction. Maybe the two families are still harmonious on the surface, but they have mustard in their hearts, and naturally there will be no such situation as His Highness is worried about, so His Highness does not need to worry. Pei Rong said reasonably.
"Hmm." Li Ye nodded approvingly, "Then what do you think of Sun Ye?" β
"Sun Ye, Xia Guan has heard of it. In the middle of the year, Jinshi served as the post of Shaoyin of Chengdu Prefecture under the two Jiedu envoys of Bohai County and Cui Shaoshi, which shows that he still has some ability, otherwise he would not have received the heavy responsibility of the two Jiedu envoys. "For these things, Pei Rong is not suitable to say too carefully, so just describe some objective things.
"Hmm." Li Ye nodded, and made a decision in his heart.
He will definitely find a position for Sun Ye, the future father-in-law, the Sun family where the other party is located has some influence in the land of Xichuan, and he also needs to use the influence of the Sun family to contend with Tian Lingzi. As for the contradiction between the Sun family and the Liu family, it is a matter of the two families, as long as he doesn't do too much, he is happy to watch the battle below, so that he can feel at ease.

"But Liu Qi's daughter, Liu's Chenyan, is a young learner of etiquette, a phoenix table is leisurely, and she is out of the Ding family, and she is well-known in Huaqi. It is advisable to follow the old chapter and be granted an internal position, which is to be appointed as the princess of Shou and enjoy a good product. To Chin Ya! Its glory is life, but it can be careless! β
"But Sun Ye's daughter, Sun Shimei,γγγγγγ It is to be appointed as the widow of the Shouwang Mansion and regard it as the fifth productγγγγγγ β
"But Li Hanyang's daughter Li Xianglan,γγγγγγ It is to be appointed as the widow of the Shouwang Mansion and regard it as the fifth productγγγγγγ β
"But the queen of Wang Xu's clan Wanshuang,γγγγγγ It is to be appointed as the wife of the Shouwang Mansion, and it is regarded as the sixth productγγγγγγ β
The next day, six canonization decrees were issued in the palace at the same time, which stunned the whole Chengdu Mansion, but this can also feel the emperor's attention to this Shouwang. Of course, this edict does not mean that the marriage will be made immediately, because King Shou is not very old, this is just to settle the matter first, and then choose a day to complete the marriage.
At the same time, the holy decree was also issued to include the appointment of Chinese military officials from the Shou Wangfu, Fuwangfu, Zewangfu, and Jiwangfu. Among them is the appointment of Sun Ye as the governor of Shouwangfu, and Zheng Ningji as the Sima of Shouwangfu.
Zheng Ningji is the son of Feng Xiang and Zheng Jin, the envoy of Longyou Jiedu, because the news that Huang Chao sent people to persuade Zheng Ji to surrender was known to Li Yi, Zheng Ji killed the messenger sent by Huang Chao, and entered Shu to meet the emperor with his eldest son Zheng Ningji, in fact, as a hostage, to show his loyalty.
Zheng Ningji had been left out in the cold until a good news came last night, and he was appointed as Sima of Shouwangfu.
At the beginning of February, because Zheng Ji killed the envoy sent by Huang Chao, Huang Chao sent his troops to lead an army led by Wang Fan to attack Zheng Jin, and Zheng Zhen sent Tang Hongfu to set up a battle. Because Wang Fan thought that Zheng Fan was a weak scholar, he was a little contemptuous, but he didn't know that the Wenchen of the Tang Dynasty could go into battle to kill the enemy by taking off his official uniform, Wang Fan's army rushed forward rashly, and he did not notice the ambush set up by Zheng Jin.
After several suspicious formations, Zheng Fan led the army to confuse Wang Fan's army, and when Wang Fan's army arrived at the ambush site, Zheng Zhen directly commanded the troops and Tang Hongfu's ambush troops, defeated Wang Fan in Jiulongpo, killed more than 20,000 enemies, and killed Wang Fan's son, and the prestige shook Guanzhong.
Yesterday this good news reached the Chengdu Mansion, Li Yi was very happy after hearing this, this morning made an exception to open the morning court, and praised Zheng Zheng in the court, and at the same time issued an order, appointed him as the inspector of the school Shangshu Zuo servant, Tongping Zhangshi, as the commander of the Jingxi Zhudao camp, commanding the Guanzhong army.
Zheng Jin's meritorious service, his son Zheng Ningji naturally received Li Yi's attention, and he was appointed as the Sima of Shouwangfu, which can be regarded as showing Zheng Jin's attitude.
Li Ye knew that as Li Yixi fled to Chengdu for a few months, this news was the best news for him, which made him see the possibility of recovering Chang'an, and he was in a good mood. Of course, Li Ye was also very happy about the good news from the front line counterinsurgency, but the problem was still very serious, and Li Yi stayed in Chengdu for four years before returning to Chang'an, which means that a lot of things happened during this period.
However, at this time, the situation in the Tang Dynasty was still not optimistic, the battle situation of the Huangchao army was Chang'an, and the feudal towns in the Central Plains thought that it was difficult for the imperial court to recover, so they sat on the shore and watched the fire, and did not raise troops to quell the rebellion. Only a small number of ministers and generals in Guanzhong, Shannan Dongdao and other places were fighting against the rebels, although Chen Jingsi, the envoy of the northern army, led Shatuo, Tuhun and other armies to Chang'an, but on the way there was a riot in Shatuo, and the action to reinforce Chang'an could only be put on hold. Think about the original prosperous Datang, and then look at the current Datang, how bleak it is.
And Gao Biao, the king of Bohai County, who was pinned on by the imperial court, occupied the eight prefectures of Huainan, but refused to obey the edict. Thinking of this, Li Ye felt a lot of pressure, but his strength was still very weak, and he couldn't help with these things at all.

"Your Highness, He Fu sent someone to send a woman, who is only 13 years old this year, and her appearance is Peugeot. Do you want Your Highness to accept it? β
Just when Li Ye kicked and beat the sandbag in the practice room because of the pressure of the situation, Zhang Wei quietly walked in and said in a low voice.
"Hofu? Which Ho House? Li Ye didn't think about it for a while, took the sweat towel that wiped his face from the hand of the maid next to him, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then threw it aside.
"It's the princess's cousin's family, the He Mansion where His Royal Highness saved the life of the second young master of He Mansion before." Zhang Wei reminded.
"What do you want to do? And when did I say that the palace needs more maids? As he spoke, Li Ye glanced at Zhang Wei on the side coldly, with a somewhat unkind expression, "Tell me honestly, did you accept a bribe from He Fu." β
"Your Highness spares your life!" Zhang Wei was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Your Highness spares your life, the old slave received 100 yuan from the second young master of He Mansion." But the old slave is also thinking about His Royal Highness, Xiaoying and Xiaoyue will be the wives and concubines of His Royal Highness in the future, and the prince also needs some innocent women to serve, so the old slave is confused. If His Highness doesn't like it, the old slave will return the money. β
"Forget it, get up." Li Ye said lightly, "How can I return the things under my hands." What kind of house is rich, and it is 100 yuan at hand? β
"Yes, Your Highness." Seeing that his prince was not angry, Zhang Wei suddenly relaxed a lot, and hurriedly got up, ignoring the sand on his knees, but stood in front of Li Ye flatteringly, "Your Highness, He Mansion is a local wealthy businessman in Chengdu Mansion, with a lot of property, and his business is also all over Chengdu Mansion and the surrounding areas. In order to repay His Highness for saving his life, He Fu took out 50,000 yuan in a short period of time, which shows his financial resources. β
"That's pretty rich." Li Ye smiled faintly and said, but thinking of money, Li Ye also had an idea, so he instructed Zhang Wei, "You go find some craftsmen who can engrave and burn clay, and bring them to the palace, no, take them to the manor outside the city, this king is useful." By the way, a special team was sent from the pro-soldiers and stationed at that manor. β
"Yes, Your Highness." Although he doesn't know what Li Ye is going to do, Zhang Wei, as a minion, also knows that some things are best not to ask, what he wants you to know, will let you know, ask more, it is easy to get into trouble. As soon as Zhang Wei took two steps, he stopped and said tentatively, "What about the woman sent by He Fu?" Let He Fu take it back? β
"Leave it to Xiaoying, first familiarize yourself with the rules of the palace." Li Ye commanded casually.
