Almost overnight, Datang was already full of smoke and was in a hurry, as if it was about to fall into embattlement.

Since his accession to the throne, the life of Li Yi, the son of heaven, has been good.

The affairs of the DPRK and China were handed over to Tian Lingzi, Lu Xian and other important ministers, and he rode horses and archery, played chess and played ball all day long, and his life was not easy. Especially at the end of the fourth year and the beginning of the fifth year of the Qianfu, the good news came one after another.

The Nanzhao King Chieftain died, and the new Nanzhao King finally ended the eighteen-year reign of the two countries. Cui Anqian led the army to defeat the grass thieves in the southeast, and defeated the leader of the grass bandits, Wang Xianzhi, and the leaders of the renegades. Li Jing even led the army to attack, recovering Liaodong and Liaoxi in one fell swoop, defeating Bohai, Goguryeo, and Khitan, and even more deterring and subduing Tatar and Xi.

The complacent Li Yi even rose a wave of ambition in his heart, and began to have a strong interest in the political affairs of the court, and discussed the situation and arranged the strategy all day long, just after Gao Yu completely swept the grass thieves in the southeast, he wanted to personally conquer Liaodong, sweep away the Khitan, Bohai, and Goguryeo in one fell swoop, and recover the old land of the Han Dynasty, and then take advantage of this great victory to collect Li Jing's military power, cut the feudal towns in Hebei, and remove the troubles of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years. Completely change the hundred years of depression since the Anshi Rebellion of Emperor Tang Zong, create the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and continue the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

In this way, they will be raised for several years, accumulate national financial resources, train their soldiers diligently, repair their war readiness, and only after recuperation, they will completely abolish the power in the hands of the local feudal towns. Restore power to the royal court. Restore the majesty of the Tang Dynasty.

Just wait for the world to be peaceful. The country is rich and the people are strong, and when the time comes, the Tang Dynasty will transfer the army again, restore the Western Regions, and even have another battle of Hengros with the Great Food Army to recover the humiliation of the year.

Li Yi has almost seen his future evaluation in history, which can be compared with Tang Taizong, and even not inferior to Emperor Qin and Han Wu.

Every time I think of these. Li Yi couldn't help but be enthusiastic and excited.

However, by the end of the fifth year of Qianfu, the situation in the world had taken a sharp turn for the worse.

The three towns of Hebei rebelled, and in the blink of an eye, there were four more anti-kings in Hebei.

After the news of the rebellion in the four towns of Hebei came, it was even more troublesome, and Gao Yu, who was originally victorious in the southeast, was suddenly frightened by the battle of Huangchao.

Huangchao's 100,000-strong army had crossed the Yangtze River, passed through Gao Yu's defense area, and fought all the way to the south bank of Huaishui.

It was relied on by the imperial court as the pillar stone of the city. But with 50,000 soldiers and horses, he retreated into the city of Chang'an. Wait and see.

Li Yi knew very well that Gao Yu was not discouraged because of Zhang Lan's defeat, Zhang Lu was learning from Li Jing.

Li Jing was sitting on 200,000 troops, and when the news of the Hebei rebellion came out, the Son of Heaven sent someone to edict Li Jing's army to enter the customs. As a result, Li Jing refused to obey the order on the grounds that it was more important to destroy Goguryeo, and on the absurd reason that the general was outside and the king's order was not affected.

Holding back the anger in his heart, Li Yu gave Li Jing the important position of Marshal of Northeast Province, Marshal of Hebei Province, and Commander of Hebei Four-sided Battalion, and returned the military power that had just been relieved to Li Jing, and Li Jing was finally willing to send troops. Of course, on the surface, Li Jing accepted the emperor's edict to send troops because he had already destroyed Goguryeo.

But Li Yi was not happy for a long time, after Li Jing regained the military power, although he had already agreed to send troops. But now, nearly a month has passed, and Li Jing's army is still scattered all over Liaodong. The envoy he sent to urge again said that Li Jing was still mobilizing and gathering troops and horses.

With Li Jing as bad, Gao Biao, another 'famous general' in the imperial court, also began to learn from him. When dealing with Huang Chao's critical health, he retreated to Yangzhou City and gave way to the grass thieves to go north to the Central Plains.

Gao Yu said on the surface that Huang Chao was powerful, and the thief army was 600,000. But in fact, the main reason was that he was afraid that when he fought with Huangchao, Li Jing's 30,000 Zhenguo troops stationed at the mouth of the Yangtze River would take the opportunity to his disadvantage. On the other hand, Gao Biao also learned from Li Jing, and wanted to preserve his strength and wait and see.

However, since the news that Gao Biao retreated from Yangzhou and refused to send troops, the disaster was not alone, and more bad news came.

In the face of the northward march of the Huangchao soldiers and horses, the Son of Heaven accepted the suggestion put forward by Prime Minister Lu and gathered the Central Plains soldiers and horses to defend against the river in Sizhou, an important town on the north bank of the Huai River. This plan does seem to be more reasonable than allowing Huang Chao to break into Henan, or sealing Huang Chao with the Guangzhou Festival.

After Lu Xian got up early in the morning, his eyelids kept jumping. As soon as he walked into the courtyard of the Forbidden Middle School Political Affairs Hall early, Prime Minister Dou Lu Yao anxiously greeted him, "Zisheng, it's not good." ”

Lu Xian is fifty-four years old this year, and he was a jinshi in the middle of his thirty-second year, and he has always had good official luck. He has also served as the commander of Chang'an County, and now he is serving as a bachelor of Hanlin, and he is also a soldier of the Ministry of War, a scholar of Hongwenguan University, and a member of the Pingzhang of the same book.

The first thing he did after taking office was to change the commanders of the prefectures east of Tongguan, Ru, Shaanxi, Xu, Deng, Bian, Hua, Qing, and Gon appointed by the former prime minister Zheng Zheng and Wang Duo.

There are no two strong oppositionists in the DPRK, Zheng Jin and Wang Duo, and basically no one can challenge his position. Although now because of the high biao recommended by him to avoid the war, the Son of Heaven is a little angry, but his status is not damaged.

"Dou Lu Gong, what happened?"

"Five days ago, the Yanzhou army was in turmoil, and Wang Chengyan was assassinated!"

"Three days ago, the army in Shaanzhou was in turmoil, and Cui Jie, the envoy was observed!"

"It's three days ago again, the army in the river is in turmoil, and Liu Yu is handsome section by section!"

After the news of the three mutinies, Lu Xian's face immediately turned pale, and he glanced at Dou Lu Yao with a gloomy face. Dou Lu Yao was already at a loss, and the other three ministers in the political hall, as well as the officials, cardinals, soldiers, households, and officials of the five rooms of the torture ceremony, were all unusually silent.

The military rebellion is nothing, since the Anshi Rebellion, how many times does the imperial court not come to the military rebellion in a year?

For example, the Youzhou army has mutinied dozens of times in the past hundred years, and Zhaoyi Town has also mutinied more than 20 times, and even the towns in Guanzhong often have military rebellions, and even the Shence army has military rebellions.

But the problem now is that now the imperial court is at this time. I can't afford a mutiny anymore.

The four towns of Hebei are just rebellious. The rebels are in full swing. At this time, Huangchao went all the way north, and no one could stop him.

The two generals that the imperial court relied on the most, Li Jing and Gao Biao, now all have heavy troops in their hands and support the troops to watch.

Under such circumstances, within five days, there were three consecutive military rebellions, and the prime ministers and officials in the political hall were also shocked.

What's more, the three places of this military rebellion. But they are all close to Gyeonggi.

Yanzhou, under the Shuofang Jiedu, is in Longyou, and is located on the Lingyan Road leading to Lingwu in Guanzhong. And Shaanzhou, just east of Tongguan, is the frontier guarding the eastern gate of Tongguan, located between the east and west of Beijing, and is the seat of Shaanxi Jiedu.

The Hezhong Army is just north of Shaanxi, across the Yellow River. It not only controls the transportation of the Yellow River between the east and west of Beijing. And it is also the passage between Guanzhong and Chang'an, Xijing and Beidu. In particular, there are two large salt ponds in the river. Not only is it the salt supply source in the southern part of the Central Plains Guanzhong, but it also provides almost 2 million yuan of salt tax to the imperial court every year.

For today's imperial court, two million yuan is very important. What's more, there are not only salt benefits in the river, but also geographical advantages, which are important feudal towns between Chang'an and Luoyang, and even the northern capital Taiyuan, and protect the three capitals of the Tang Dynasty.

But at such a critical time, there were military rebellions in Shaanxi and Hezhong, and Cui Jie and Liu Yu, two ministers appointed by the imperial court, were driven away by the local military leaders.

It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight!

Wang Chengyan, the assassin of Yanzhou, and Cui Jie, the observer of Shaanzhou, were both known for their political reputations, but they were eventually expelled by the military leaders of the two places because of their seriousness.

Since the Anshi Rebellion, the imperial court and the local feudal towns have been playing games, barely maintaining a balance. The imperial court was unable to cut the feudal domain, and it had always relied on the promotion of the subordinate states, and used the imperial court's dispatch of jiedu envoys and local subordinate states to clamp down on the feudal towns.

Although it has not been possible to completely eliminate the feudal towns, it is precisely because of these measures under the two-tax and three-point system that they will finally maintain the foundation for more than 100 years after the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty. Under these strategies of the imperial court, except for the three towns of Hebei, the commanders of each town are generally appointed by the imperial court, and the imperial court firmly controls the position of the commander, and will never let those local military leaders easily grasp this position.

At the same time, not only did it increase the power of the subordinate state, but now the subordinate state has the financial power to stay in the state in two taxes and three points, and at the same time, in the local army of the feudal town, it has the county and town soldiers, the branch state soldiers, and even the unity soldiers. However, the generals and other military leaders of the feudal towns often only control the Yacheng and the Ya soldiers, and some also control the soldiers of other towns.

In most feudal towns, in fact, the feudal towns are not unified internally, and there are marshals sent by the imperial court, although they do not have much real power, but they hold the balance and coordinate the relationship between the military leaders of the feudal towns and the thorn history. Even in some of the better feudal towns controlled by the imperial court, even the position of assassin was occupied by officials sent by the imperial court.

This balance is delicate and often breaks through. Sometimes, if the officials sent by the imperial court were too fair and strict, they might infringe on the interests of the local military leaders, and if the contradictions were fierce, military rebellions would often break out. This kind of thing is very common, it comes several times a year, and the court generally always calms down. In most cases, it was the imperial court that had the upper hand, and in the past, the imperial court was even willing to take advantage of these military rebellions to strike at the strength of the local military leaders and strengthen the imperial court's control over the localities.

But now, at such a juncture, if it is not handled well, it may be out of control like Hebei.

In particular, the two feudal towns of Hezhong and Shaanxi are not far from Hebei, and they are only separated by one or two towns. Once they expelled the officials sent by the imperial court from the military rebellion and rose to direct rebellion, it would be troublesome.

Lu Xian circled around in his mind, and soon had already made a plan for disposal. This time, Guan Jian is soothing rather than suppressing, so although Cui Jie, Wang Chengyan, and Liu Yu have good official reputations, at this time, it is not the time to find right and wrong.

"Degraded Wang Chengyan as the head of Xiangzhou, and Zhao Niu went from Gui to Yanzhou to offer condolences." Although this matter was clearly the fault of the head of the Yanzhou army, in order to appease these soldiers, Lu Xian had no choice but to deal with Wang Chengyan and then appease the Yanzhou army. ”

"Degrade Cui Jie, Huaizhou Sima, and give Yang Yan as the Shaanxi Observation Envoy!"

"Take Dou Jing as the envoy of the river festival, and the envoy of the river Xuanfu system!"

After issuing several orders in a row, Lu Xian sighed in his heart, hoping that his disposition would calm down the military rebellion in the three places. (To be continued......)
