Chapter 283: Jin Yiwei in Action (6) (2nd Update)
In the third year of Guangqi, since the beginning of the Chinese New Year, three major events have occurred.
First, King Shou united with Jingyuan Zhang Jun and Yan Dongfang Kui to defeat the invincible Li Keyong and Wang Chongrong coalition forces in Guanzhong and seize the power of the imperial court.
Second, the imperial court sent troops to quell the rebellion of Chen Jingxuan and Tian Lingzi, killed hundreds of Chen clans and their henchmen, and completely controlled Xichuan.
The third thing, in fact, many people feel a little surprised, and many people even regard it as an after-dinner conversation.
At the concubine banquet, Wang Chongrong was killed by his subordinates Chang Xingru and several people, and his body was hung on the city tower and exposed to the sun.
However, things did not go as everyone expected, and Chang Xingru took over as the envoy of Jiedu, because Wang Chongrong's brother Wang Chongying and Wang Chongrong's adopted son Wang Ke led an army to Hezhong Province, defeated Chang Xingru, and recaptured Hezhong.
Chang Xingru did not die in the river, but took Yang Fugong hostage, crossed the Yellow River from the river under the cover of thousands of soldiers, fled to Shaanzhou in the southeast, and destroyed the pontoon bridge on the Yellow River.
No one expected this to be the result.
If it is just a festival that causes death, it is unlikely to attract the attention of many people. After all, in this troubled world, what is it to die a festival, Zhuge Shuang died last year, and he didn't cause much of a sensation.
However, Wang Chongrong's death is somewhat special.
First of all, he had just attacked Chang'an with Li Keyong, and was killed by his subordinates less than a month after the defeat; secondly, Chang Xingru was based in Shaanzhou, and dedicated the heads of Yang Fugong and Yang Shouli to King Shou; Third, Wang Chongrong did not leave a will for anyone to take over as the envoy of this festival.
The combination of these factors complicates the situation in the river, which has attracted the attention of many people at once.
"Your Highness, Chang Xingru sent someone to send the heads of Yang Fugong, Yang Shouli and others."
Just as Li Ye was teasing a little guy who was blinking, the little guy smiled from time to time, and then the corners of his mouth protruded bubbles.
Xiaoying on the bed next to her had a motherly glow, and took out a silk scarf to wipe the bubbles on the corners of the little guy's mouth, but after wiping it, the little guy began to vomit again, as if the bubbles couldn't be spit out.
This little guy is the first child of Li Ye and Xiaoying, and the third son of Li Ye.
So far, Li Ye has a total of three sons and two daughters. The three sons are Li You, the eldest son born to Liu Chenyan, the second son Li Yu (Yu) born to Sun Mei, and the third son Li Yu born to Xiaoying in front of him; The two daughters were born to Sun Mei and Li Xianglan respectively.
And Wang Wanshuang and He Hanyan are also pregnant, which makes Li Ye suddenly have a feeling of being a stallion, no wonder there are so many heirs of those emperors, and he does not have as many women as the emperor, so there is that trend.
Li Ye, who was originally happy, heard Zhang Wei's somewhat unfortunate words, his face sank, but fortunately, the other party's voice was very small.
"Xiaoying, you take the child first, and I'll go back when I go." Li Ye smiled and patted Xiaoying's hand.
"Your Highness's affairs are important, please forgive the concubines for inconvenience in getting up and saluting." Xiaoying wanted to stand up as she spoke, but she had just given birth to a child, her body was still recovering, she was a little weak, and she didn't sit up for a long time.
Li Ye supported the other party and said gently, "You rest first." β
"Hmm!"
Xiaoying nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and then watched Li Ye turn around and leave. looked at the son next to her, the smile on Xiaoying's face was even sweeter, with this son, her status was stable.

Coming to the front yard of the palace, Li Zhen was already waiting there, in the open space of the courtyard, there were several carriages, there were several large wooden boxes on the carriages, and there were more than a dozen healthy soldiers next to them.
Seeing Li Ye, who had an extraordinary bearing, come out, Li Zhen hurriedly bowed and saluted, "See Your Highness." β
Li Zhen saluted, and the soldiers next to him realized that the young man in front of him was the person they wanted to see, but they didn't expect to be so young.
"Inside these boxes are the heads of Yang Fugong and others? Didn't this king say that he wanted to live? Li Ye said in a deep voice.
"Back. Return to Your Highness. A man led by those soldiers stood up with a somewhat flustered expression, "This Yang Fugong wanted to escape halfway, but the villain general sent someone to chase after him, and accidentally killed the other party by mistake, so... β
"Open it and take a look." Li Ye nodded, and didn't blame too much, if you live to see people, if you die, you want to see corpses, and if you die, you will die.
The man hurriedly asked people to open one of the large boxes, there were several small wooden boxes inside, and he asked people to take out the delicate wooden box on the top, and then take it to Li Ye.
Link on the side asked the Jinyi guard next to him to open the box and look at it, there was no problem, and then it was presented to Li Ye.
In the box is a processed human head, which has long been bloodless, but it is indeed Yang Fugong, which Li Ye can still be sure of, after all, after dealing with each other for so long, he can still recognize the other party.
Li Ye covered his nose, waved his hand, and motioned to put it away, it seems that he has to eat light lunch, otherwise he will lose his appetite.
Seeing Yang Fugong, who had been against him, become like this, Li Ye also sighed a little, but unfortunately the other party was too ambitious and did not go far to assist him, otherwise how could he die. Of course, even if the other party assists him, he will clean up the other party in the back, but at most, let him live for a long time, so as not to kill the other party.
But who made him choose the wrong path, no wonder others.
If he is on the losing side, the history books will also say that he is guilty of rebellion, and no one will sympathize.
After Chang Xingru's people went down, Li Ye looked at the heads of Yang Fugong and his henchmen in the courtyard, and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Send the heads of Yang Fugong and Yang Shouli to Daming Palace, and let the royal brother of this king take a look. The rest, let people deal with it, bad luck. β
"Your Highness, according to the report of the Jinyi Guard in the river, this Chang Xing Confucian is not a person who has achieved great things, and he has no courage, how does His Highness plan to arrange the other party?" Li Zhen asked.
Li Ye thought for a while, "Let him serve as the defense envoy of Shaanzhou." At this time, the imperial army stationed in Shaanzhou is still a little sensitive, and it will be said after the situation in Guanzhong stabilizes, so as not to make Zhu Wen unable to sleep. β
Because Li Ye personally went to the army to appease the officers and men of the Jingyuan Army and the Baoda Army, some generals who tried to make trouble were dealt with, and they were both benevolent and powerful, so the reorganization of the two armies was also carried out in an orderly manner.
Compared with the Jingyuan Army and the Bao Army, the reorganization of the Xichuan Army was very easy and did not let Li Ye worry too much.
In addition to these, the revocation of Dongchuan has also spread rumors in the DPRK.
There are not many people who oppose this decision, after all, it is too far away, and no one in Shu dares to jump out to oppose it.
As for the merged East and West Erchuan, it was changed to Sichuan Province. If it is called Liangchuan Dao or something, these ministers can still understand what is going on with this Sichuan Dao.
However, this is what Li Ye requested, and these ministers did not object much, just a name, as long as King Shou is happy.
The Guannei Province was not established, but the Suining Jiedu was revoked, and most of it was incorporated into Jingyuan, and part of it was incorporated into Yanyan. In fact, many people can see some clues from the revocation of Dongchuan, and it is a matter of time before the three towns of Fengxiang, Jingyuan and Yanyan are abolished, and it is very likely that Guannei Dao will be formed.
"Your Highness, what about the middle of the river? Wang Chongrong died, and now Wang Chongying's strength is the strongest, and many generals in the river have plans to support Wang Chongying as his poster. Li Zhen said.
"Hmph." Li Ye's face was gloomy, "Do you really think that the imperial court is still the same as before?" They say that whoever is set will be appointed? Those generals want to establish a king, but this king is not as good as they want. Send someone to contact Wang Ke, as long as he hands over the salt ponds of Anyi and Xie County to the imperial court, the imperial court canonizes him as the new envoy of the river festival. β
Li Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and with his mind, he naturally wouldn't think that this was Li Ye's impulsive move. Let Wang Ke serve as the envoy of the festival, there is no doubt that it is a good move.
At present, Wang Chongying is the strongest, and if he is allowed to serve as the envoy of the Hezhong Festival, he will inevitably control the river, which is not in the interests of the imperial court. And let Wang Ke come out to compete with Wang Chongying, Hezhong will fall into civil strife if he wants to be a period of time, and Wang Ke is weak, if he wants to sit firmly in the court, he will inevitably get closer to the court.
As for whether Wang Ke will be tricked, the court doesn't have to worry about it at all.
Unless Wang Ke really has no idea about this knot, but is this possible?
That's a festival envoy!
Hezhong has been Li Keyong's ally since the time of Wang Chongrong, and weakening Hezhong's strength is weakening Li Keyong's strength.
As for the chaos in the river, it has nothing to do with Li Ye. Anyway, the world is chaotic enough, and it's not impossible to mess up any more, as long as Guanzhong and Shu are not chaotic.
Hezhong fell into chaos, and it has a lot to do with Jinyiwei, if it weren't for Jinyiwei's relationship between Chang Xingru and Wang Chongrong during the period, Chang Xingru would not have been able to make up his mind.
In addition to the river, Hedong, Heyang, Zhaoyi, Jingnan, Xuanwujun and Shannan Dongdao all have Jinyiwei's spies active, and they are constantly expanding to the east.
At present, Jinyiwei's main focus is on these few places.

Don't talk about Hedong, that is the old nest of Li Keyong, the enemy of the imperial court, and at present, Jinyiwei can only start from Li Cunxiao, these righteous sons;
In the river, it's because of the chaos here;
Heyang is somewhat similar to Hezhong at this time, Zhuge Shuang died of illness last year, and his son succeeded him as the envoy of Jiedu, but there are also internal problems and is currently in chaos. Li Hanzhi and Liu Jing fought because of mutual suspicion, and when the two were fighting, Qin Zongquan's subordinate Sun Ru came out halfway, captured Heyang, and drove away Zhuge Shuang's son Zhuge Zhongfang.
For Heyang, Li Ye is also very greedy, after all, he not only controls Heyang, but also Luoyang. This place is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and if it is captured, it will inevitably arouse Zhu Wen's vigilance, and it is also easy to get involved in the chaos of the Central Plains. Therefore, greed is greedy, but Li Ye does not want the court to intervene in the melee in the Central Plains.
Therefore, Li Ye's next step was to put it in Shannan Dongdao and Jingnan, which was also the third strategy of the five strategies for leveling the domain proposed by Li Zhen at the beginning.
The first policy has been completed, and the second policy has been basically realized.
Of course, the five strategies of the flat domain do not have to be in order, they can be started at the same time, and when attacking the south, they can also use their strength to weaken the strength of the northern feudal towns, but there are different emphases at different times.
At present, the focus of the imperial court is on the attack on the south.
