After the emperor made a promise and Liu Yan was able to preserve his political status, the three towns of Huaixi, Huainan and Ziqing were convinced, and said that they would accept the deposed envoy to enter the household register and prepare tax books.

As for the officials who died in the "fire" of Yangzhou Post Station, they eventually died, and Chen Shaoyou continued to sit in Weiyang, as stable as Mount Tai.

However, Liang Chongyi still closed the passage in and out of the town, and after learning that the Confucian official Guo Xi had denounced him, Liang Chongyi was very frightened, although the imperial court soon exiled Guo Xi to Chaozhou, but Liang still maintained a posture of confrontation with the central government.

Emperor Li Shi was ready to launch a final edict to Shannan Dongdao, but before that, the power center of the capital was eager to wait for a new round of reshuffle due to the death of Cui Youfu.

But this time it was Lu Qi in the imperial history who soared, and first Cui Ning sent a recommendation to the emperor, hoping to promote Lu Qi to the imperial history doctor.

Before Yang Yan could react, Li Shi ordered "Ke" and directly promoted Lu Qi to the imperial doctor, while Cui Ning was reappointed as "the governor of Lingzhou, the protector of Shan Yu Zhenda, the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu and the observation envoy of the four prefectures of Danyan in Dunfang", under the jurisdiction of Zhenwu, Shan Yu Erjuncheng, as well as Ling, Yan, Xia, Yin, Sui, Yan, Dai, Sheng, Dan, Dun, Fang, Lin, Qing and other more than ten states, and the power is almost the same as Guo Ziyi.

Yang Yan suddenly felt that the situation was not good-he was a fool, and he also understood that now Cui Ning was outside, and Lu Qi was inside, and a new mountain had been formed, targeting his own mountain.

Not only that, although Liu Yan was moved to the left to be the envoy of Guiguan, his party members are still in the court, silently dormant, once the situation changes, they will definitely attack themselves.

Yang Yan's reaction to this was to suppress Cui Ning first.

He and his henchmen continued to play in pairs, letting the original Lingyan Governor Yu Hou Duxi take the role of Lingyan Jiedu, let the original Daizhou Assassin Shi Zhang Guangsheng serve as the Shan Yu, Zhenwu and Lin, Sheng, Sui, and Yinzhou Jiedu to stay, and let the former Yanzhou Thorn Shi Li Jianhui serve as the queen of Yan, Dan, Dun, and Fang four states.

The setting of these three post-retention is equivalent to completely dividing Cui Ning's position and power, and it is also around Cui Ning, with the power to directly report to the emperor or the prime minister - Cui Ning is under the supervision of these three people, and can only nest in Fangzhou, and is constrained everywhere.

Not only that, but Yang Yan also secretly enveloped the old departments of Shuofang, such as Xiazhou Thorn Shi Lu Xiqian, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Dai Xiuyan and Gyeongzhou Thorn Shi Du to enter politics, let them enter Cui Ning's shogunate, and "accompany" Cui Ning is also equivalent to inserting a nail by Cui Ning's side.

"Father, don't worry......" stayed in the capital for the time being, and Gao Yue, who did not go to Yuanzhou to take up his post, wrote directly to his father-in-law, asking Wei Daotian to send him to Fangzhou as soon as possible.

Cui Ning, who got the advice of his son-in-law, was mainly anti-guest, and soon in the name of "appeasing the party", he coerced Lu Xiqian, Dai Xiuyan, Li Jianhui and others to go out to patrol Xiazhou and Yanzhou, and recruited and pacified the major party tribes everywhere.

After the Western Fan was strong, the Dangxiang tribes were forced to migrate to the west or to the north, before the Anshi Rebellion, most of the Dangxiang tribes were placed in the Longyou Prefectures by the Tang Dynasty in the form of the Confidant Prefecture, after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, most of the Longyou area was also captured by the Western Fans: a considerable part of the Party continued to move inward, and then mainly distributed in Ling, Qing, Xia, Yan, Sui, Sheng and other prefectures, and divided into three large tribal groups, that is, the "Liufu Dangxiang" living in Yan and Sui Prefectures, this group was dominated by the Yeli clan; There are also the "Dongsan Dangxiang" who live in Gyeongju, named because Gyeongju is located east of Yongsan, and the "Pyeongxia Dangxiang", which mainly lives in Haju.

Of course, these party Xiang Fan Hu are not pure people, they are sometimes loyal to the Tang Dynasty, or provide military rations to the Tang army, or become the source of soldiers for the Tang army, but many times they also collude with the Western Tibet, together with the Tang Northwest states, become a problem for the henchmen, of course, when the Western Fan invades, they will also plunder the party's people and animals, causing the party's fierce resistance. Therefore, the relationship between Tang, Xifan and the internal migration of the Dangxiang tribe is somewhat similar to what we now call a "love triangle".

Therefore, the policy of relocating these internal party items also ran through the middle and late Tang Dynasty, but the final outcome is also clear to everyone: in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, the two continental hegemons of Xifan and Tang Dynasty, which had been confronted for many years, exploded successively, and the party items scattered in Ling, Qing, Xia, Yan, and Sui have been upgraded to independent Jiedu to make the "Dingyan Army" and become a local force with mixed ethnic and administrative characteristics. It evolved into the later Western Xia (emmmm, it seems that Vietnam was later inseparable from the Great Song Dynasty, and its predecessor was also the Jing Navy set up by Gao Biao at the end of the Tang Dynasty after recovering Jiaozhou from Nanzhao, of course, this should be the pot of the Tang Dynasty, how can it leave so many invincible separatist forces in the Great Song Dynasty in the east, west, north and south? ）。

To get back to the point, Cui Ning's appeasement of the party was a great success, several party leaders were willing to enter the court to accept the title of the Tang Dynasty, and thousands of party leaders promised to be honest and provide food and war horses to the Tang army.

Cui Ning did not take the credit for himself, but quickly went to the imperial court, praised and commended Lu Xiqian, Dai Xiuyan and others, saying that it was precisely because of their close cooperation with me that they achieved some insignificant results.

The emperor also issued an edict to praise you, but this stimulated Yang Yan's nerves, and he really began to suspect that Lü, Dai, Du and others had secretly taken refuge in Cui Ning, so he hurriedly recalled Lü Xiqian to the imperial court as the general of Zuo Longwu.

As for Du in politics, Yang Yan thought about it again and again, it was impossible to continue to stay by Cui Ning's side, and if he got along with Cui Chaoxi, he would be corrupted sooner or later, so he thought about making Du in politics a thorn in Yuanzhou.

Before this move came true, it aroused the fierce opposition of the new Jingyuan Jiedu envoy Zhu Zhu, who sent the song to the emperor, saying that I am the Jingyuan Jiedu envoy and the Jingzhou Thorn History (the entire Jingyuan is under my control), since Gao Yue is the camp city envoy and the county commander, and he is also the Yingtian judge subordinate to the Jingyuan Military Government, it is equivalent to letting Gao Yue Quan know that the original state is in line, why bother to introduce another Thorn Shi Du to politics, stack the bed and frame the house, and waste money and food.

The emperor did not let the courtiers discuss Zhu Jun's recital, but directly handed it over to Lu Zhen, Wu Tongwei, Jiang Gongfu and other Hanlin scholars for internal discussion, and Lu Zhen's opinion was also: "Gao Yisong is doing things here, if he sends another assassin to the history, it will only play a bad role in Jingzhou Yingtian." ”

So the emperor recognized the views of Zhu Zhu and Lu Zhen, and informed Yang Yan that it was unnecessary for Du to go to Yuanzhou to assassinate history.

Yang Yan couldn't help but be discouraged, but what made him feel even more heartbroken was still behind.

Lu Qi, who got his wish and was promoted to the imperial doctor, soon visited Guo Ziyi, who was idle at home.

Originally, although Guo Ziyi was old, she was also accompanied by a group of beautiful concubines, but as soon as she heard that Lu Qi was visiting, Guo Ziyi immediately dismissed all the women like Cui Ning before discussing with Lu Qi.
