The cloudy day at this time is also very sultry, and it is inevitable that people will be upset and irritable in the afternoon, but for the Tang Emperor Li Yan, the real reason for his restlessness is not the weather, but his current situation.

Not long ago, the Fengxiang army besieged Chang'an, and Yang Fuguang, the lieutenant of the Shence army, was defeated in battle, and was captured by the Fengxiang army after being seriously injured. Prime Minister Wang Duo scolded Li Maozhen for being a thief in the city tower, and was shot and wounded by Feng Xiangjun and fell in front of the city, and then Li Maozhen personally captured Li Yan in the palace.

After capturing Chang'an City, Li Maozhen forced Li Yan to issue an edict, saying that the reason why he raised troops in Chang'an was because he was secretly ordered by Li Yan to come to Chang'an to kill traitors. So Li Maozhen turned into a "meritorious hero" of the "Qing Jun side", crowned King Qi, and worshiped Tongping Zhangshi, ranking higher than Li Ye.

Since it is the side of the Qing monarch, it is natural to need a group of important ministers, Li Maozhen pointed the spearhead at the eunuchs and magnates, in the name of punishing traitors, to eradicate political enemies, and the famous and powerful ministers in the court were either killed or arrested.

Yang Fuguang and Wang Duo bore the brunt of the crime, and the so-called crime of wanting to add to it was unexcused, Yang Fuguang became a villain who served the dictatorship and bewitched the county king, and was arrested and imprisoned; Wang Duo became a perverse and traitorous thief, and was exiled to Lingnan.

If it weren't for Li Maozhen's scruples about the moral reputation of these two people, and she acted with reservations, it would not be good to go too far, but I was afraid that their heads would have landed.

All of a sudden, Chang'an City was overcast, gloomy and bleak, and blood flowed like a river.

Under Li Maozhen's iron-blooded wrist, there were no more ministers in the court, and a group of flattering villains, seeing the wind and rudder, threw themselves under Li Maozhen's command one after another, singing praises to him. It didn't take long for Li Maozhen to grasp the military and political power of Chang'an and look at the world.

Subsequently, in order to appease the princes of all walks of life, Li Maozhen borrowed the hand of Li Yan to reward the heroes, and those who had a little fame and strength in each feudal town were all added to the official ranks, and those who ranked as the three dukes and the same prime minister abounded. Especially Wang Jian of Shuzhong, Gao Biao of Huainan, is the king of each county, which can be described as extremely favored.

However, for Zhu Wen in the Central Plains, Li Maozhen did his best to exclude him, saying that he was good at using swords, annexing Linzhen, and disrespecting the orders of the imperial court, which was really a wolf's ambition, and what he did was tantamount to rebellion, and called on the princes of the world to crusade.

The towns of the world, the north belongs to Li Ye, the Central Plains is Zhu Wen's most of it, Guanzhong and Hezhong are Li Maozhen's sphere of influence, and the rest are Huainan, Hunan, Shuzhong, Lingnan and the northwest region.

Among them, the most powerful Huainan Gao Biao and Shuzhong Wang Jian even issued notices at the same time, condemning Zhu Wen for causing trouble in the Central Plains, perverse acts, and should be requisitioned.

Of course, the so-called requisition is just talk, and it is impossible to really implement it. But this also shows the attitude of the towns towards Zhu Wen, which can be regarded as a kind of public opinion offensive.

Zhu Wen, who has the support of the Daomen, has become the target of public criticism for a while.

And Li Maozhen's prestige has also increased greatly, and her power has risen sharply, like the sky.

In this case, Li Yan, who has become a puppet emperor, is naturally uneasy. Although Li Maozhen still let him live in the palace in order to block the mouth of the world, he also sat on the throne at the court meeting, and he was the one who gave orders on the surface. But the children in the market also know that Li Yan is just a pen held by Li Maozhen.

In the afternoon, Li Yan sat in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, leaning on the back of the chair as if he was sleeping. The palace maids on the left and right fanned them to ward off the heat and mosquitoes for him. Because of the gloomy and sultry weather, the palace maids soon sweated and their light shirts were soaked.

"Your Majesty......" In a daze, Li Yan heard someone calling him, and the voice was still very familiar. He opened his eyes and saw the person standing next to him, his eyes widened in surprise, and he almost jumped up from the bamboo chair, "Lieutenant?!"

However, he soon realized that the eunuch in front of him was not Yang Fuguang, a lieutenant of the Shence Army, but Yang Fugong, a fellow countryman of the other party. Although the two have some similarities, they are only two or three points similar.

Li Yan's eyes were full of disappointment and sighed, but he didn't lie back down, but barely lifted his spirits: "The person who contacted King An has come back?"

Although he was "imprisoned" in the palace by Li Maozhen, Li Yan still managed to send his henchmen to Pinglu to contact Li Ye. Now there is only Li Ye in the world who has the strength and heart to rescue his Jiedu envoy, and he only believes in Li Ye.

Yang Fugong replied respectfully: "Not so fast, Your Majesty." Counting the journey back and forth, it will be at least half a decade before they come back. ”

Li Yan actually knew that the people sent out didn't come back so quickly, he just wanted to see through it, and his mind was unbearable. With a sigh, Li Yan lay back on the bamboo chair, picked up the wine jug on the small table next to him, and sent it to his mouth.

It didn't take long for Li Yan to get himself drunk, and the clothes on his chest were also wet. When he tilted his head and fell asleep in a daze, he unconsciously murmured: "Brother Ye, Brother Ye...... Why didn't you come to save me?"

Seeing that Li Yan was asleep, Yang Fugong bowed and retreated. He didn't stop, he went directly to the imperial city of Zhongshu Province, and reported to Li Maozhen, who was sitting here, about Li Yan's situation today. Including the conversation between the two, it was also said word for word.

Li Maozhen, who was dressed in a royal robe, was a little more majestic and domineering than before, although his face was still so white and looked more tender than Mei Jiaoniang, but it finally didn't make people pay too much attention to it.

After listening to Yang Fugong's report, Li Maozhen waved his hand and motioned for the other party to step back and continue to take care of Li Yan. Yang Fugong didn't say anything, and bowed down.

As for the manpower sent to Pinglu, naturally there is no such thing. In this palace, even the most ordinary palace maid around Li Yan will not have the word "imperial order" in her mind now, let alone any foreign ministers who can enter the palace and plot with Li Yan.

Li Maozhen didn't stay long in Zhongshu Province before leaving the imperial city and returning to the Qiwang Mansion.

When he walked out of the gate of the imperial city, there were many honor guards in front of him, eight hundred armor guards behind him, and dozens of masters on his side to protect him. And when he walked out into the streets, in the streets and alleys on both sides, there were too many monks and sharps to secretly take care of, and I couldn't count them.

In the imperial city, Li Maozhen dealt with ordinary court affairs, and in the palace, he planned his own great business secrets.

Li Maozhen just entered the conference hall, and before he could sit down, his henchman Liu Zhijun followed.

When he sat down, Liu Zhijun immediately reported with a happy face: "Gao Piao, the king of Huainan County, and Wang Jian, the king of Xichuan County, have sent envoys to discuss with His Royal Highness the major matter of sending troops to the Central Plains and attacking Zhu Wen together. Their envoys were respectful, and they would say that only His Highness would look forward. It can be seen that to this day, His Royal Highness's prestige has made the heroes bow down and the world submit!"

Li Maozhen took the document and looked at it twice, threw it on the bookcase casually, and said with a smile: "What is the only king of this horse, but I just want to get this king to raise a large army as the main force, and compete with Zhu Wen and the snipe mussels, so that they can sit and reap the profits." ”

Liu Zhijun did not change his flattery: "His Royal Highness is strong and strong, with millions of armor, and has the help of soldiers, and it is His Highness who sweeps the world." They also know this, so they will be so happy to surrender and let His Highness be the leader!"

Li Maozhen glanced at Liu Zhijun, and a sneer flashed in his eyes: "There is no need to flatter, this king has a few catties and a few taels, and he knows it in his heart." Gao Biao and Wang Jian are not stupid, why did they go along with this king's order to crusade against Zhu Wen? Not because this king is strong enough, but because Zhu Wen is too powerful. ”

"With the Immortal Court Dao soldiers in hand, Zhu Wen has almost no opponents in the mortal world, and neither the soldiers nor the Confucians can compete with him head-on. It can be said that with Zhu Wen here, there will be nothing else in the world - oh, except for King An. ”

"Before, everyone thought that King An was powerful, so they wanted to find King An's unhappiness, but now that the Immortal Court Dao soldiers are in the lower realm, everyone will find that when they compare them, oh, now Zhu Wen has become the strongest one, so naturally they can't get along with Zhu Wen together. Only by solving Zhu Wen first, can other princes have room to chase the Central Plains. ”

However, in the final analysis, Zhu Wen expanded his power in the Central Plains and stabilized his foundation, and Gao Biao and Wang Jian were doing the same. Their own acres and three-thirds of land have not been straightened out, so how can they have the extra strength to fight Zhu Wen head-on?"

Liu Zhijun pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Even the soldiers' battle formations are not the opponents of the Taoist soldiers?"

Li Maozhen said lightly: "Unless it is a famous general leading the formation, and the sergeants and soldiers in the formation are all monks with a high level of qi training, there is no chance of winning at all." But how many of the world's famous generals are there? Not one now. Maybe in a year and a half, there will be many famous generals, but at that time, there was something to do with them, and there were more than a few hundred Taoist soldiers, and they had already swept the world. ”

Liu Zhijun opened his mouth and was speechless for a while.

Li Maozhen sneered: "What, scared?"

Liu Zhijun said embarrassedly: "With His Royal Highness here, Zhu Wen will not be allowed to succeed, why should the lower officials be afraid?"

Li Maozhen's fingers tapped on the tabletop, but her eyes looked past Liu Zhijun and looked out of the door. The other party is his absolute confidant, so he can say a lot of things that he can't say to outsiders.

He said: "The world is in a big fight, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have their own strengths, and the original position of everyone is not high or low, and the Central Plains relies on their own abilities, and everyone recognizes winning or losing." But as soon as the immortals intervened, the situation was out of balance. Hmph, immortals, Dao soldiers, these guys are really disgusting! Back then, the human emperor was absolutely connected to heaven and earth, why did he leave the Kunlun Passage? If the immortals are not completely isolated, what is the meaning of this world dispute?"

Liu Zhijun listened and thought about it, and when Li Maozhen finished speaking, he still couldn't understand what the other party meant. Seeing that the other party was deep in thought, he didn't want to disturb, and continued to secretly figure out the deep meaning of the other party's words.

After a long time, Li Maozhen sighed, and her eyes became deep: "In the world in front of me, there is only King An, and there is a possibility of competing with Zhu Wen." But it's only possible, the Immortal Court has the orthodoxy of heaven and earth, as long as the immortals can still go to the lower realm, the lessons of the Great Qin Dynasty are there. ”

Liu Zhijun suddenly thought of something: "Your Highness......"

Li Maozhen didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued: "The heroes of the world, the two Confucian soldiers, and His Royal Highness King An, can't they first work together to truly eliminate the heaven and earth? Immortals are immortal, how can there be a real world of great disputes? ”
