After the war, Chang'an City, as far as the eye can see, is full of ruins and ruins, full of devastation!

Huang Chao is dead, the pseudo-Qi has been exterminated, although there are still many pseudo-Qi remnants who fled from Chang'an under the leadership of Shang Rang, Lin Yan, Zhang Juyan, Meng Kai and others, but since Huang Chao is dead, the rest are just clowns.

In the three prosperous and glorious areas of Chang'an City, the Taiji Palace and the Daming Palace in the East were destroyed in the war and almost burned into a white ground, especially the Daming Palace in the East City, which was burned several times. Originally, although Huangchao set fire, it was impossible for Miyagi to burn it all at once. In fact, it was the Tang Army himself who caused the most damage to the three major internal forces. After the defeat of the Huangchao army, the troops of the various feudal towns rushed into Chang'an, and they attacked the palace city to clear the remnants of the pseudo-Qi army, but on the other hand, they began to rob wantonly.

Among the three major inner Taiji Palace and the East Inner Daming Palace, were completely destroyed in the war, but the Xingqing Palace in the south was originally outside the imperial city, and avoided the most fierce battle at that time, and because since the Tang Dynasty, the south has been reduced to the residence of the Emperor Taishang after the abdication, so there is no previous prosperity here, and it has not been regarded as the primary robbery target by the rebels for a while. By the time they finished robbing Ouchi and Dongnei, Yang Fugong had already arrived with his army, and he occupied Nannei, which was barely intact, for the first time, and preserved the Xingqing Palace after the last.

In the Xingqing Palace, the Yang Fuguang brothers were looking at Li Jie, the seventh brother of the emperor, who was standing in front of them.

The seventh brother of the emperor, who is a fellow of Li Yi's mother, was just fifteen years old at this time, with long eyebrows and clear eyes. and Li Yi have a bit of imagination. But compared to Li Yi. He's a little more reserved. There is a heroic spirit between the eyebrows, very smart, and not like Li Yi, who was taken bad by Tian Lingzi since he was a child, is a good fighting and playing. On the contrary, this is a prince who loves to read. A few years ago, when Tian Lingzi hurriedly left Beijing with the Son of Heaven, Li Jie was also one of the few clans with him. At that time, on the road. Because of the hurry, Li Jie didn't even have a horse, and halfway through, his legs were blistered, and he wanted to ask for a break, but he was whipped by Tian Lingzi and scolded.

It can be said that the relationship between Shouwang Li Jie and Tian Lingzi is very poor. When Yang Fugong left Chengdu in a hurry last time, Li Jie took the initiative to run to Yang Fugong and asked to leave Chengdu together. This made Yang Fugong have a deep impression of Li Jie. Thinking about comparison, Li Jie is compared to Li Baolai, the sixth brother of the emperor. Xianming's fame is younger and his age is younger, but Yang Fugong likes Li Jie more, in addition to Li Jie being younger, but also because he has a better relationship with Li Jie.

At this time, Li Jie, who was nearly six feet tall, was wearing a dark robe, a black gauze hat on his head, and black leather boots on his feet. With a white and ruddy face, clear and black eyes, and a black beard just rising on his lips, he was a little cramped and uneasy. In fact, even if he had been staying in the barracks, he had already heard a rumor about him these days, and the rumor said that the Yang brothers wanted to abolish his fifth brother and make him the new son of heaven. He didn't know how to react to this news. There was a little trepidation and some anticipation in my heart. For the fifth brother of the same mother, he is indeed very disappointed. In his opinion, today's Li Tang, in this stormy situation, his brother has to bear a lot of responsibility, if it weren't for his Pang Xing's traitor Tian Lingzi, Nei Pang Lu with such a treacherous appearance, how could it be possible to make the good Tang Dynasty to the point where it is today.

He has some faint expectations for the Yang brothers to want him to be the Son of Heaven, not because he wants this right, but because he wants to revive the Tang Dynasty and rejuvenate the Li family. Compared with Tian Lingzi's traitorous eunuch, his impression of the Yang brothers is much better, although Yang Fugong dislikes him in some places, but he trusts Yang Fuguang very much. After all, the ability to exterminate the Yellow Nest is thanks to the merits of the Yang brothers, among which Yang Fuguang is particularly credited.

If he can sit on the throne of the Son of Heaven and get the help of the Yang brothers, if he can win over Li Jing, who his brother has always loved and feared, and Zhongxing Li Tang, it is not impossible to recreate a prosperous world.

"His Royal Highness King Shou, although Huangchao has been defeated and died, and Chang'an and Luoyang have recovered, the situation of the Son of Heaven is still grim, and the towns have experienced all these years of chaotic wars, and they have been like scattered sand. The prestige of the central court has long been swept away. Now, we urgently need to restore the prestige of the imperial court. At this time, the need for the Son of Heaven is more and more necessary. Yang Fugong sighed: "It's not that the old ministers are rude, but since he took the throne, he has actually disappointed the ministers." Speaking of which, the turmoil in the world has a lot to do with the improper handling of His Majesty. Especially now, the Son of Heaven is completely held hostage and controlled by the field thieves. For the sake of the country, the old minister had to dare to make a request, today's saint is no longer suitable to continue to reign, today's world, need a more intelligent, wise and virtuous monarch, to pull out the chaos and oppose the government, lead the monarch and ministers to prosper the Tang Dynasty, and create a prosperous world. The old minister had the courage to invite His Royal Highness King Shou, that is, the emperor's younger brother, to take charge of the power of the country, and then truly inherit the position of the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty. ”

When Li Jie heard that Yang Fugong finally said this, his heart was both happy and full of nervousness.

"Such a big event, will all the towns in the world agree? How will His Majesty react? ”

"Your Highness, please rest assured, to serve His Highness as the new emperor, this is the unanimous will of all towns in the world, at present, more than 20 towns such as Zhongzhong, Shannan, Henan, Hedong, Jingnan and so on are willing to support His Highness to ascend the throne, I believe that other towns are also more willing to see a more virtuous Son of Heaven ascended the throne." Yang Fuguang chuckled.

"What about Your Majesty, what will happen to him?"

"After His Royal Highness succeeds to the throne, we will respect His Majesty as the Emperor!"

After Li Jie was silent for a long time, he nodded his head at the end.

The Yang Fugong brothers looked at each other and smiled, and they were very satisfied with this result.

Yang Fuguang looked at Li Jie, whose face was turning red, and his eyes were flashing with excitement that couldn't hide his excitement, and asked.

"If His Royal Highness ascends the throne, how do you think we should revive the Tang Dynasty and revitalize the Li family?"

Li Jie thought for a while, "Pro-virtuous minister, far villain!" ”

"Well, in the list of teachers of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, it was written that the pro-virtuous ministers are far from villains, and this Han is so prosperous. Pro-villain, Yuanxian Chen, the reason why the Han Dynasty fell after that. It seems that His Highness has indeed read a lot of books and has his own ideas about governing the world. But. Excuse me, Your Highness. Now in the court. Who is a virtuous minister and who is a villain? ”

"Tian Lingzi bullied the monarch and messed up the government, villain." Li Jie said without hesitation, and then he said: "Ercui Erzheng Eryu can be described as a virtuous minister." ”

Li Jie said that the two Cui and Zheng and Zheng Eryu refer to Cui Yunqing and Cui Anqian, Zheng Zheng and Zheng Congyan, and Yu Cong and Yu Xuan. Zheng Congyan and Zheng Zheng both served as prime ministers of the DPRK and China. Born in a wealthy family, he is very prestigious and wise. Especially in the battle to exterminate the Yellow Nest, the two of them have made indelible contributions. Although the two of them are civil ministers, they can both enter and exit the phase, and they are full of weapons, real virtuous ministers, even if Li Jie is in the palace, he often hears the names of these two Zheng. In addition, although Cui Yunqing and Yu Xuan have not served as officials in the DPRK. But they have been local leaders since the time of the first emperor, and they are also very prestigious in the local area. And it is also from a family. In particular, these two people have now been Li Jing's right-hand men, helping Li Jing govern the Qin Domain, and the Qin Domain has been so strong over the years, which is enough to show the merits of these two. As for Cui Anqian and Yu Cong, one is also a capable man and a martial artist, who has served as the commander of the thief and killed Wang Xianzhi, and Yu Cong is his uncle. And both of them have also served in the court, Cui Anqian has served as the secretary of the ministry, Yu Cong has served as the prime minister for many years, and the right servant of the book shoots, these are all familiar to him. During this time, after hearing the news that the Yang family was going to make him the Son of Heaven, he had been thinking about who he would use if he ascended the throne. These two Cui Er Zheng Eryu are the most suitable Tongping Zhangshi he has ever thought of, they are all characters who can be civil and martial, and they are the most suitable for the Xiangguo of the new dynasty.

After Yang Fugong heard these names, his face changed slightly. Li Jie hates Tian Lingzi, which is a good thing. But he regarded Ercui Er, Zheng Eryu and these people as virtuous ministers, which was not a good sign. If you talk about the ability of these six people, then naturally there is nothing to say. Even Yang Fugong is appreciative. But the Tao is not the same, and today, these two Cui Er, Zheng Eryu, have actually already joined Li Jing's camp, and they are already Li Jing's people. Even if Er Zheng has not completely reversed for the time being, they are obviously not on the same path as their Yang brothers. If the new Son of Heaven ascends the throne and leans on them as his right-hand man, it will not be good.

"His Royal Highness's vision is very good, Ercui Er, Zheng Eryu, are all examples of today's Wenchen. It's just that His Royal Highness should know the Dao, the six of them are now high, and His Royal Highness should know the Dao, they are from famous families, and they often boast of being celebrities, so they are a little arrogant and self-appreciative. But now the situation is different, in today's troubled times, to govern the world, you can't just rely on a group of scholars to govern the world. It takes some younger, more courageous people to rule the world. ”

Li Jie was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the few candidates he had considered for a long time were actually just a group of lonely scholars in Yang Fugong's eyes.

"Then who does Yang Gong think is such a candidate?"

Yang Fugong smiled, "To govern the world, you must use the right people, the old minister has a few suitable candidates, Du Rangneng, the seventh grandson of Du Ruhui, the famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, his father Du Xianquan, successively served in Beijing as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, the left servant of the Shangshu, Tongping Zhangshi, and also served as the envoy of the Hezhong Festival, the envoy of the Zhenhai Festival, the envoy of the Zhongwu Festival, etc., and gave the Taishi, Xiangyang County Gong. Let Neng Xiantong fourteen years into the Shi Dengdi, the history of the imperial history, the living room, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Soldiers, and the official judgment of the case, Huang Chao committed the Beijing Division, and once drove to the line, the Ministry of Worship Langzhong, the history museum to revise. Looking for the official knowledge system, and worshipping the scholars. The face is given a golden and purple suit, and he is a bachelor of Hanlin. Let the words be sensitive, the pen is not dotted, and the opportunity is moving. Tired of moving the household department, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the secretary of the military department, the bachelor of the will, the advanced silver Qingguanglu doctor, the founder of the feudal Ping County, 500 households, and capable ministers. ”

Yang Fugong figured out that this young prince, his favorite is those famous families, so the first prime minister he selected was Du Rangneng, the grandson of Du Ruhui, the famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, and Du Rangneng's father was also an important minister of Yizong and the current two dynasties, after the real famous family. He is also very talented, has held many official positions, has a background, has qualifications, is very suitable. Moreover, Du Rangneng had already voted under him, and he had already thought that as soon as Li Jie took the throne, he would use Du Rangneng as the prime minister to control the political affairs hall for him.

Sure enough, this candidate, Li Jie nodded after a little hesitation. Subsequently, Yang Fugong proposed that Kong Wei was a virtuous minister, and he should be more close. Kong Wei is the forty-generation grandson of Sage Kong, and he is already the prime minister, and Li Jie also agreed to the virtuous minister proposed by Yang Fugong, hinting at the future prime minister.

After that, Yang Fugong put forward some of the virtuous ministers he thought were candidates.

"Your Highness, those that the old minister proposed just now are all virtuous ministers that His Highness can get close to. However, today, it is okay to use them as a prime minister to govern the central government, but the local feudal towns also need to reuse credible military generals and commanders. In His Royal Highness's heart, is there a marshal who can trust and reuse? ”

Li Jie thought about it, and wanted to say Zheng Congyan, Zheng Jin, Cui Anqian, Kang Chengyu, Xin Yan and others, but after thinking about it, these seemed to be military generals who were close to Li Jing, and they pressed the words down at the moment. Thinking about it, there is no one who can feel trusted among the commanders of the feudal towns under the Yang brothers. Hedong Jiedu made Li Keyong, the capricious Shatuo Huyi, reversed the Tang Dynasty twice, and provoked several wars in Hedong, such a person, to use the comments he had read on Li Keyong in the newspaper of the Qin Domain, that is, a white-eyed wolf who could not be raised, such a person could not be trusted at all. Zhu Quanzhong, the deserter of the Qin Domain, and the remnant of Huangchao, how can such a person believe it? Besides, he was originally just a guy who fed pigs in the landlord's family, and if it weren't for the war, this kind of person would not have been able to become a festival envoy in eight lifetimes.

As for the other marshals, Wang Chongrong, the marshal of Hezhong, Zhuge Shuang, the marshal of Heyang, Qin Zongquan of Huaixi, and Zhou Qi, who is loyal to the martial arts, are all grass on the wall, not only have they all descended to the Yellow Nest, but they have all won the position of marshal by mutiny, how can such rebellious generals be trusted?

And Li Quanzhong? is just a lost dog driven out of Hebei by Li Jing, a Hebei military leader.

The rest such as Li Changyan of Fengxiang, Li Sigong of Difficulty, and Dongfang Kui of Baoda, these are all the same military leaders, who started by military mutiny, and they are all Hu Dirong clans. After experiencing the Anshi Rebellion, the Li Tang royal family had long been distrustful of the Hu family. Especially with the repeated presence of the Shatuo clan like Li Keyong's father and son, he no longer believes in those Hu clans.

"Doesn't Your Highness have a single important marshal in your heart?" Yang Fugong felt a little strange.

Li Jie opened his mouth and said, "Gu feels that if he can let Li Jing, the king of Qin, serve the imperial court, the prosperity of the world will definitely be just around the corner!" ”

Yang Fugong's face turned dark, he couldn't bear to say anything, he turned his head and looked at his brother Yang Fuguang, and there was disappointment in his eyes. (To be continued......)
