After Li Qi got Hezhong, he immediately ordered more than 30,000 Hezhong troops to move to Yunzhou and Yunnei to guard the area, and replaced the defenders with his own soldiers and horses. He Fujin was also ordered to be the defense envoy of Hezhong Mansion, and Cui Yuan was Yin of Hedong Mansion, until early April, when he returned to Jinyang.

That Li Congke lost the river, knew that he was framed by An Chongzhi, and returned to Luoyang to see Li Siyuan, the reason for the loss from the Chen River. Li Siyuan was suspicious, but he just asked him to wait at home, but did not deal with it.

An reinstructed Zhao Feng and others to impeach Li Congke for the crime of losing the river,

Li Siyuan saw the impeachment and said angrily: "My son was framed, and the reason is not clear, are you going to rush to put him to death?" As he spoke, he angrily announced the dispersal of the dynasty.

Two days later, An Chongzhi raised the matter again, and said that the weapon that Li Congke had built privately when he was in the river was obviously intended to rebel. Li Siyuan was furious when he heard this, pointed at An Chongzhi and said angrily: "I was a junior colonel in the army, and when I was poor, I relied on this child to burn lime and collect horse manure to support my family. Without him, how can there be a lonely today? Could it be that he is alone in this prison country, and he can't even protect his own son? ”

Seeing that Li Siyuan was really angry this time, An Chongzhi was also a little scared, so he had to retreat stupidly.

However, Li Congke lost the river after all, and Li Siyuan finally dismissed Li Congke and made him reflect at home.

After disposing of Li Congke, although An Chongzhi seemed to be powerful, it made Li Siyuan lose trust in him. An Chongzhi has no ability, he has not led troops to fight, and he has no soldiers and horses in his hands, so he can have today, all of which rely on persuading Li Siyuan to rebel at the beginning, and he can also be trusted and reused.

When Li Siyuan lost trust in him, he was not far from death.

……

Yelubei, the king of Dongdan, took advantage of the opportunity of the spring hunt to get rid of the surveillance of the "guards" sent by Yelu Deguang, and boarded a sea ship at the mouth of the Liao River, which was regarded as escaping from the Khitan and defecting to the Central Plains.

On the sea, he wrote, "The small mountain presses the big mountain, and the big mountain is powerless." I was ashamed to see my hometown, and I went to a foreign country from now on. This "Poem on the Sea" can also be regarded as something that will be passed on to future generations.

Yelubei went ashore from Gukou and received a very high courtesy. Li Qi ordered him to greet him with the etiquette of the lord of the country in Honglu Temple, and then gave him a mansion in Jinyang, and led the envoy of the festival in the river.

Yelubei changed his name to Li Muhua, which is equivalent to settling down in Jinyang.

Since there is no owner of the Dongdan Kingdom, Yelu Deguang, the lord of the Khitan Kingdom, wants to stabilize the Dongdan Kingdom first, and he still has no time to come to Li Qi's trouble for the time being.

After Li Qi returned to Jinyang, he made him the governor of Tuntian and inspected the affairs of Tuntian in various places. He recruited and placed a lot of Khitan captives and fugitives in Shanbei and Yunzhou, and Li Muhua, the "human emperor", still had a certain role in appeasing people's hearts.

In order to ensure the purity of the lineage, the history of eunuchs being used as eunuchs by the inner court was already present at the beginning of the formation of slave society. It is an ancient tradition, both in the East and in the West. Before the Warring States period, the eunuchs had a very low status in the court, and although they often served the monarch, they did not have any power, and they were the lowliest palace slaves.

In the Warring States Period, with the formation of the feudal system, the court system became more and more perfect, the scale of the inner court expanded, and the eunuchs began to gradually serve as officials of the inner court, which led to the emergence of eunuchs. Because the eunuchs were enshrined in the inner court and often came into contact with the monarch and the harem, they were trusted by the monarch and the harem and were often entrusted with important tasks. During this period, eunuchs began to become active and appeared on the stage of history. Among them, the Qin State had the earliest famous eunuch in Chinese history.

A courtier named Chang Yu defiled the court and gave birth to two sons with the Empress Dowager Zhao, giving great humiliation to the First Emperor. Since the appearance of this guy, almost all emperors since the First Emperor have been wary of the men who serve the harem, and gradually formed a strict management system.

After the death of Qin Shi Huang, the eunuch Zhao Gao conspired with Li Si to support Hu Hai as the emperor, and finally took control of the court. Most historians of later generations believe that the death of Qin Dynasty II was at the hands of this eunuch.

The Eastern Han Dynasty died in eunuchs and relatives, the Tang Dynasty died in eunuchs and families, and even Li Qi's cheap father in this life, Zhuangzong Li Cunmiao, actually died at the hands of eunuchs and servants. In fact, in the history of China, there are very few eunuchs with integrity like Zhang Chengye, the original Hedong supervisor.

Li Qi does not reject the use of eunuchs, sometimes he feels that he and Zhang Shu, the great eunuch of Jinyang Palace, are the kind of people who want to be isolated from this world, he is ideological, and Zhang Shu is because of physical reasons.

The information obtained by the three parallel intelligence systems he set up with the Chamber of Commerce as the team will eventually be summarized in the hands of this Jinyang palace eunuch, some things Zhang Shu can handle by himself, and some information needs to be summarized and reported to the emperor.

Jinyang Palace is built according to the mountain, the palace of summer summer is actually built on the Erlong Mountain, the Gao family of the Northern Qi Dynasty believes in Buddhism, also excavates a lot of grottoes on the Erlong Mountain, there are all kinds of Buddha statues in the cave, thousands of postures. Standing in the Guanyun Pavilion on the Dragon's Back Peak, you can clearly overlook the whole picture of Jinyang Palace.

This is the highest point of the entire Jinyang Palace, and even the entire Jinyang.

The three-storey pavilion at the top of the hill has been re-roofed, and it looks like it is still a wooden structure on the outside, but in fact the internal structure has been replaced with reinforced concrete. It was the world's first reinforced concrete building with hollow walls and a Western-style fireplace for heating in winter.

Since it is located on the top of the hill, lightning protection devices are also installed on the roof of the pavilion.

Ren Yuan came to Jinyang before Li Qi's wedding, and then succeeded Zhang Xian as the chief prime minister, and Zhang Xian changed to the position of Zhongmen Ling. He was a man of practicality, and after taking over the position of prime minister, he hoped to reduce the number of officials and save money.

This is exactly the opposite of what Li Qi envisioned.

After discussing with Ren Yuan for a morning, Li Qicai finally persuaded Ren Yuan to accept his concept, that is, the larger the contingent of officials, the more it can ensure the stability of the country and the smooth implementation of government decrees. Of course, Ren Yuan finally accepted his opinion, not because he figured it out, but because he found that the Taiyuan Mansion, Yanmen, Yunzhou and Shanbei under Li Qi had enough income to support more than 20,000 officials in addition to raising the army, and they were also wealthy.

Ren Yuan couldn't understand why the land endowment had not increased, but the financial income of various places would have increased so much.

Li Qi suggested that he go deeper into the workshops, shops, and tuntian guards in various places to find out.

As a result, the old guy didn't say a word, arched his hand and left.

As soon as Ren Yuan left, Zhang Shu's figure turned out from behind the screen like a ghost.

"Since spring, the situation in the Northland Prairie has been a little abnormal!" He came to Li Qi's side and spoke.
