The first rays of morning light sprinkled on the ancient Taiyuan City, and the coolness left over from the long night has not yet dissipated, but the rows of neighborhoods have awakened. People open the doors and enter the courtyard, and the sporadic breakfast stalls in the streets and alleys are steaming, gradually gathering groups of diners.

Li Ye, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes on the low couch and saw the golden sunlight leaping over the windowsill and spreading out on the carpet, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It has been some time since the pacification of Hedong, and the Pinglu Army has already been stationed in the four prefectures of Dai, Shuo, Yun, and Wei, and a series of follow-up matters are steadily advancing. With the complete control of Hedong, Li Ye already has absolute military and political power over these eleven states.

What followed was the luck of the people who gathered from all directions.

Although Li Ye had just pacified Hedong not long ago, fortunately, the Pinglu army was strictly disciplined, and after taking the city, there were few acts of intruding on the people, and the Zhaoyi, Henghai, and Tianping armies did not dare to make a mistake, but only dared to share the money and grain of the treasury.

The prestige of King An has already spread all over the world, and everyone in the world knows that King An is benevolent, although the Confucian, Buddhist, Taoist soldiers and princes of all parties do not think that Li Ye can revive the Tang Dynasty, so they have no good impression of him. But the people don't care about that, they care about it very simply: who can make them live and work in peace.

When the Pinglu army entered Hedong, although there was no big scene of the people eating pot pulp to welcome the king's division, but after the war, the people of Hedong were willing to be under the control of King An.

Although the people's hearts are submissive, although it is still only a part, it is far from half of the number of people in Hedong, but fortunately, Hedong is vast and densely populated, and Li Ye's harvest is still not small.

Today, Li Ye has reached the late stage of the Yang God True Person, and he is only one step away from being able to impact the Immortal Realm.

Li Ye estimated that when Li Zhen's initial civil affairs policy was fully implemented, Hedong restored peace and order, and reassured those people who were still waiting and hesitating, he would have enough luck.

This time does not take long, it can be as short as half a month or as long as three or two months.

At that time, it will depend on whether the impact on the fairy realm can be successful with the help of Skyrim.

In the morning, Kang Chengqian, the envoy of the Zhaoyi Army, Xue Wei, the envoy of the Tianping Army, and Liu Jingsi, the envoy of the Henghai Navy, jointly asked for a meeting, and Li Ye entertained them in the hall.

Among the three, the Zhaoyi Army has the strongest combat power, and Kang Chengqianxiu is the highest, but the first one to speak up is Liu Jingsi, because he is the oldest - Heng Haijun befriended him as early as the early days of Li Ye's departure from Zhenpinglu.

Liu Jingsi hugged his fists and said: "This time the battle is all due to His Royal Highness's good scheduling, and there is a big victory now, and we all admire His Highness very much." Now that the army has been on the expedition for several months, and the east of the river has been decided, we have come to inquire about the return date. ”

After the war, the reward for meritorious deeds has already been done, the spoils of the Hedong treasury have been divided, Liu Jingsi and others have gained a lot, and the excerpt of the imperial court has also been handed over.

However, now Chang'an is surrounded by the Fengxiang army.

The day before yesterday, it was reported that the Fengxiang army had begun to attack the city, and the number of generals was extremely large, and Chang'an City was about to be breached.

Once Chang'an is broken, the Son of Heaven moves west to Fengxiang and falls into the hands of Li Maozhen, then there is no hope for everyone to add officials to the knighthood, because it depends on Li Maozhen's face.

Unless they are friendly with Li Maozhen, Li Maozhen will give them face.

Therefore, Liu Jingsi and others want to go back quickly and make plans.

After all, staying in Hedong, as long as Li Ye had a thought, there were no immortal realm monks in the army, Liu Jingsi and others, they had to move obediently, the army fell into Li Ye's hands, and the feudal town became Li Ye's spoils.

Of course, Li Ye knew their thoughts.

The world is in turmoil, the situation is changing rapidly, Chang'an is attacked, the orthodoxy of the imperial court is unsustainable, and Pinglu is also being attacked by the Xuanwu army, Li Ye's status, power and majesty are being challenged.

When the righteous name is already fragile, the name of King An is actually useless, and it is difficult for people to follow him.

It's all about the time when you can speak only from strength.

Fortunately, what Li Ye lacks most is strength.

Whether it is the strength of the monks, or the strength of the army.

So he smiled and said to everyone: "Not to mention the two towns of Pinglu and Tianping, after this battle is settled in the east of the river, north of the Yellow River, east of Luliang Mountain, the most important northern important place in the Tang Dynasty, most of them are now under the control of Guwang and Er." Only the three towns of Chengde, Dingzhou, Yiwu, and Lulong, Youzhou. In other words, the Lone King only needs to include these three towns in his pocket, and the northern convenience is in the hands of the Lone King!"

When Liu Jingsi, Kang Chengqian, Xue Wei and others heard this, they all changed color, and they all felt like they were on pins and needles.

The so-called Luliang Mountain is on the east side of the bend of the Yellow River, that is to say, as long as Li Ye leveled the three towns of Chengde, Yiwu and Lulong, the places east of the bend of the Yellow River and north of the Central Plains have all become his sphere of influence.

This does not include the two towns of Tianping and Pinglu.

And listening to Li Ye's meaning, he is preparing to do this!

That's what everyone is most worried about.

When Li Ye leveled the east of the river, he set out from Pinglu, crossed the Yellow River, and went all the way to the west, conquering Weibo and conquering Zhaoyi along the way.

Since Li Ye has won Hedong, he will naturally not give it to others, but the territory of the Zhaoyi Army is between Hedong and Wei Bo. In the case that Li Ye has already obtained Wei Bo, if he wants to sit in Hedong, Zhaoyi's position will be extremely awkward.

You can't sit back and watch Zhaoyi get stuck in your throat, right?

For Li Ye, on the side of this couch, how can others be allowed to snore?

Kang Chengqian couldn't eat well in the past few days, and he couldn't sleep, so he was afraid that when Li Ye returned to Pinglu, he would also take away his Zhaoyi army by the way.

Before attacking Hedong, Kang Chengqian was very worried about this situation, and for this reason, there was a lot of quarrel within the Zhaoyi Army.

It's just that in the end, between Li Keyong and Li Ye, Kang Chengqian chose the latter. After all, Li Ye is a Tang Chen, as long as the Zhaoyi Army is not grabbed by the braids, it is not good for him to attack the Zhaoyi Army for no reason, right?

Who would have thought that now that Chang'an was attacked and the imperial court was in danger, Li Ye certainly lost the strong reinforcement of the righteous name, but on the other hand, there were no shackles.

The Son of Heaven has been robbed, the world is in chaos, I, Li Ye, as a Tang minister, and a member of the Li Tang clan, are princes, of course, I want to pacify the Quartet, return the Tang Dynasty to a bright future, and then continue the Tang Dynasty Guozuo - this is okay, right?

In the past two days, Kang Chengqian has gone up and down, greeting Li Maozhen's eighteenth generation ancestors more than 100 times. If he could meet Li Maozhen now, he would definitely grab the other party's collar and ask angrily: Why did the erector hurt me?!

Li Ye saw that everyone was nervous, and Kang Chengqian was sweating like rain, and he felt interesting in his heart.

He continued: "Li Maozhen attacked Chang'an, the imperial court was in danger, and King Lone, as the Li Tang clan, had to consider the society. Once the Son of Heaven falls into the hands of the enemy and Sheji falls, the Lone King also has to plan for the Tang Dynasty in the long run, and he can't sit back and watch the Tang Dynasty collapse. ”

Everyone shuddered.

The meaning of this statement is very clear.

Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has fallen into the hands of the enemy, which means that the dynasty does not exist, and if the ministers want to preserve the society and continue the national ancestry, they must support the crown prince and clan relatives to ascend the throne - set up another Son of Heaven and rebuild the imperial court.

Obviously, Li Ye is going to do this.

And he doesn't need the support of others, he himself is Li Tang's bloodline, the prince, and when the Son of Heaven really falls into the hands of the enemy, he sets up his own banner, and no one can say that he is not.

If it is said that Li Ye acted before and the court was at the head, even if Li Yan trusted him, even if he had the power to control the military and government of Shandong and act cheaply, but in the final analysis, he was just a minister. He still has to go to the court for everything, go through a procedure, and there are many constraints.

Now, then, everything is different.

With Li Maozhen's attack on Chang'an, the Son of Heaven is in danger of falling into the hands of the enemy and the imperial court exists in name only.

Of course, when Li Yan is still there, of course there is no need for him to say that I set myself up as the emperor and build another court in Shandong, making me like a chaotic minister and thief, giving truth to the princes, and losing integrity in the general righteousness. But he can do his own thing under the banner of Qingyu for the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking like this, Kang Chengqian greeted Li Maozhen's eighteenth generation ancestor again: When you attack Chang'an and hold the Son of Heaven hostage, do you harm King An or help King An?

Of course, Kang Chengqian knew that Li Maozhen's attack on Chang'an was to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes. This "prince", of course, also includes King An.

But the key is that Li Ye can not admit it, he can say that Li Maozhen committed the following crimes, and he was a big rebel, named Tang Chen, but he was actually a Tang thief, and then he came to crusade under the banner of King Qin.

Although he can't really come for the time being, he can pull up the banner as soon as possible, gather forces, and draw a clear line with Li Maozhen, so as to prevent Li Maozhen from borrowing the edict of the Son of Heaven and letting him do that.

Others may not be able to do this, but Li Ye has no problem, because he is a child of the clan and the world-famous King An.

Moreover, after the end of the Han Dynasty, everyone was already familiar with the routine of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and few people would be stupid and at the mercy of it.

It's not that Li Maozhen is useless if he holds the Son of Heaven hostage, and the effect is not as good as before.

Li Ye saw that everyone's eyes changed, racking his brains, trying to figure out the deep meaning of Li Ye's words, trying to figure out Li Ye's intentions, and occasionally suddenly realized, he wanted to laugh.

He really didn't have to bother Kang Chengqian and others to figure out what he thought.

He is not ambitious, but he has to take care of his head and tail, and repeatedly duplicity to say that I am a loyal minister, he is the king of Tang An, and he really doesn't need to be coy in the troubled times.

It is this matter that may cause pain to Kang Chengqian and others.

He said bluntly: "You all know in your hearts who the lonely king is. What King Gu wants to do is nothing more than to maintain the authority of the Tang Dynasty and ensure the smooth implementation of government decrees. You are all loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and the battle in Hedong has proved it. Presumably, all of you have the same thoughts as the Lone King now. This is very easy to do, you continue to be your festival envoy, even if the court does not give a reward in this battle, the lone king has the power to control the military and government of Shandong, and what should be given can be given to you. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed: "King Gu knows that you are loyal to the Tang Dynasty and will not disobey King Gu's decree, but who knows what Chengde, Yiwu, and Lu Long think? Of course, in this process, if something unpleasant happens and you need to use a knife and a gun, then presumably the three of you will continue to help the Lone King, right?"

Li Ye's meaning is very clear: You all have to listen to me in the future. You have to do whatever I tell you to do, just like you do with the decrees of the imperial court, and with the orders of the lonely king.

This is the meaning of Li Ye being the master and everyone being subordinate, which can also be understood as Li Ye being the king and everyone being the minister.

If Kang Chengqian and others agree, then in the future, they will be no different from the roles played by Li Zhen, Liu Dazheng and others.

Kang Chengqian, Liu Jingsi, and Xue Wei looked at each other and were speechless for a while.

Of course they are speechless, otherwise what can they say?

Said King An, you have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and you actually want to take us in? Say that King An, you are not righteous, we helped you pacify Hedong, but you want to annex us in turn?

That's not looking for death. Is King An's cultivation really an ornament?

Following Li Ye, they are still temperate envoys, their status will not decline, and they will get a lot of rewards, and as long as Li Ye develops well, they also have a great future.

The only downside is that you are controlled by others from now on.

But being controlled by others is better than dying.

The three of them didn't have to think about it to know that if Li Ye wanted to kill them, it would be as simple as crushing an ant to death. And there is no need to think about collecting the body after being crushed.

Those in their respective feudal towns who want to tie up with King An and take advantage of the situation to ascend to the throne will come over to deal with the aftermath of the matter.

In troubled times, people's hearts are unpredictable, everyone has an army of 100,000 under their command, so can there be some wolf ambitions?

Kang Chengqian and the others, you look at me, I look at you, and finally had to get up and leave his seat, facing Li Ye who was sitting on the main seat: "I wait for His Highness to be the head of the horse, but it is sent by His Highness!"
