"Your Majesty, just now the Yangtze River Sailor sent someone to send a report."

Luoyang, Ziwei Palace.

The new privy envoy Wei Zhaodu came to Li Ye and stood respectfully.

A few years ago, taking advantage of the opportunity to destroy the Uighurs in Xizhou, Li Ye made a big change of blood for the court.

Pei Rong, who had been a privy envoy for more than ten years, was transferred to the post of senior official servant, and the new privy envoy was succeeded by Wei Zhaodu.

The reason why Liu Qi, Liu Kui or other military generals with outstanding achievements were not allowed to hold this position was also to prevent those generals from taking the opportunity to plant their subordinates, cultivate party henchmen, and threaten the imperial power.

However, Li Ye will not do anything about controlling martial arts with literature, which is not conducive to the expansion of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to Wei Zhao and Pei Rong, Li Sizhou was transferred out of Chang'an and served as the political envoy of Guannei Daobu, and the successor to the military department was Xu Shiren, the former deputy protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

Li Ti, the king of Peng, took over the post of Zong Zhengqing, Li Yi was transferred back to the center as the secretary of Dali Temple, and Li Jiepi, the king of Yan, was transferred back to the center as a subordinate servant.

In addition, some of the following six squires or the nine temple chiefs were also transferred to local posts.

Moreover, Li Ye took the opportunity to make an iron decree that officials who served as important ministers of the imperial court must have ten years of experience in local states and provinces.

More than a dozen important ministers of the imperial court can participate in the decision-making of major affairs of the imperial court, as an official, who does not want to be one of the important ministers?

None of these people who have joined the government do not want to become important ministers and show their strength.

So after the promulgation of this iron decree, some young magnates who had ideas began to find ways to release them.

According to Li Ye's thoughts, he didn't want the important ministers who could decide the direction of the entire empire to be ignorant of the affairs of the lower levels.

Of course, the royal family does not require ten years of local service experience, and the reason is very simple, because now the royal family has no fiefdom, and it is not allowed to leave Chang'an, except for Li Ye's order to go out to serve.

Although Li Ye moved the imperial court to Luoyang, the eastern capital, this time, he also arranged some officials to stay in Chang'an.

Pei Rong was the main servant, and the four important ministers of the foreign university bachelor and Honglu Temple Qing Gui Ren Shao, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Zhong Chuan, and the Dali Temple Qing Li Yi stayed in Chang'an.

In addition, the ministries also left some officials in Chang'an to deal with daily affairs.

Some people may think that Li Ye has snubbed Pei Rong, but the latter has served as a privy envoy for more than ten years, although his power in the army is not strong, but continuing to serve is not conducive to Li Ye's control of the privy council.

Nominally, it is to alienate Pei Rong, but in fact, it can be regarded as protection.

If Li Ye becomes suspicious, it will not be a change of official position, but a river of blood.

"What's going on over there with the Yangtze River Sailor?" Li Ye was a little puzzled.

"It's a matter from the side of the Wa Kingdom, saying that the Wa Kingdom sent an army to encircle and suppress the Silla pirates who occupied Iwami Province, and in order to keep the mining area, the soldiers of the Meishu Navy Division participated in the battle." As for the affairs of the Wa State, Wei Zhaodu also learned about it when he took over as a privy envoy, and he was also very surprised at that time.

"If you participate, you will participate, what is the result?" Li Ye didn't think anything, anyway, sooner or later he would have to be exposed.

"Your Majesty, it's just that the minister thinks that the Wa Kingdom may find out that my Datang Navy Master is supporting pirates behind his back, and this will be spread and damage the reputation of Datang and His Majesty." Wei Zhaodu worried.

If it was before, Wei Zhaodu would definitely oppose something, but after being cleaned up by Li Ye, he was much more honest.

Those who are not honest are all rushed to local posts by Li Ye to find an opportunity, and they are all remote.

For example, Xiao Yu is still on Annan's side. In the name of beauty, to maintain the stability of the Tang Frontier, since you are talented, go over there to educate the indigenous barbarians.

"Can reputation be eaten? Don't worry, the two mining areas in the Wa Kingdom are expected to provide me with 50,000 catties or even more silver ingots this year, which is worth millions of copper coins.

Does Aiqing still think those so-called reputations are useful? If there is a discussion among the ministers of the DPRK and China, they will be sent directly to the Western Regions or to Pingnan, Annam and other places. Li Ye said coldly.

"Obey the order!" Wei Zhaodu arched his hand.

"Did Huainan reply from there?" Li Ye asked.

"There's no news yet."

"Then wait a little longer, if he doesn't move, give Shi Ling an order and let him lead the sailor to Yangzhou for a turn." Li Ye said coldly.

Arriving in Luoyang this time, solving the remaining problems in Huainan is what Li Ye intends to complete first.

Huainan is rich, and it is stuck in the main road of the Grand Canal, if it has been occupied by Yang Xingmi, it will affect the control of the imperial court over the south of the Yangtze River, so the Huainan problem must be solved.

After arriving in Luoyang, Li Ye ordered Xuan Yang Xingmi and his generals Li Shenfu, Zhou Ben, An Renyi, Zhu Yanshou, and his eldest son Yang Wu to go to the eastern capital Luoyang to face the saint.

After issuing this holy decree to Huainan, Li Ye made the seven soldiers and horses of Jianghuai, Henan, Hubei, Jiangnan, Jiangxi, Qilu, and Zhejiang ready, and also transferred four forbidden armies into Jianghuai and other provinces adjacent to Huainan.

The meaning is obvious, if Yang Xingmi refuses to obey the edict, Li Ye will order the forbidden army to be dispatched.

So in front of Yang Xingmi, there are two paths.

or be edicted to enter the eastern capital, but the result may be to be deprived of military power; Either they refused to obey the edict, and then they were regarded as rebels by the imperial court.

This is about the future, how could Yang Xingmi make a decision so quickly.

。。。。。。

"Jieshuai, you can't go here, the little emperor is setting up a Hongmen banquet, if Jieshuai goes, he won't be able to come back."

Knowing that the imperial court ordered Yang Xingmi and important generals from Huainan to go to Luoyang, his subordinates disagreed, and the one with the loudest opposition was the general Zhou Ben.

"It's easy to say, if I don't go, what will the court do to me Huainan?" Zhu Yanshou on the side said coldly.

"The surname is Zhu, are you trying to kill the handsome? Or that you have taken refuge in the imperial court, so you will agree to go to Luoyang. Zhou Ben angrily pointed at Zhu Yanshou and scolded.

Yang Xingmi also looked at Zhu Yanshou, and a hint of imperceptible discoloration flashed in his eyes.

If it weren't for the persecution of the imperial court, maybe he would have already done something to Zhu Yanshou and others.

"Nonsense." Zhu Yanshou was shocked, what he did was quite hidden, so that he would not be discovered, "I'm here for the sake of the festival commander and everyone." You don't look at how many forbidden armies the imperial court has arranged around Huainan, only around Huainan, there are six or seven forbidden armies.

Xuzhou has the right Tiance army, Qizhou has the left Xiaowei, the right Xiaowei is in Bianzhou, the left Shenwu army is in Xiangzhou, and the Yangtze River Naval Division is not far from our Shengzhou.

This is almost 100,000 forbidden troops, not to mention that the little emperor also brought the Right Shence Army, the Left and Right Shenji Battalions, the Left Prison Guards and the Right Jinwu Guards from Chang'an. With the addition of local garrisons in various provinces, the imperial court can gather more than 200,000 troops to attack Huainan from three directions at once, what resistance do we have?

And have you ever thought about what would happen to us if we really met each other? ”
