Chapter 646: The General Trend of the World

Due to the great achievement of destroying Yan, this time Datang appeared for the first time since its establishment, except for Shi Yiqian. Liao Chuan, Liu Xiaohai, Zhao Ji, Peng Lin and other generals were able to seal the founding county uncle, and even Wang Meng and other six Shangshu were also knighted because of their meritorious service in presiding over political affairs in Chang'an. In this way, only Li Erhei, Hu Tian, Sun Tie and Zhou Tong, who did not participate in the war, remained in their original positions. However, under the circumstances at this time, everyone has no complaints, mainly because there are still so many enemies in the world, and everyone can see hope.

It was also because of the rewards of these titles that a voice began to emerge in the court, that is, to make Li Xin officially emperor. After all, in this way, many things are more justified. Moreover, under the circumstances of Datang at this time, it seems that it is still only maintaining a king title, which seems to be a little inappropriate.

As soon as this proposal came out, it was immediately endorsed by many officials, especially a large number of middle- and lower-level officials. Everyone wrote one after another, hoping that Li Xin would be proclaimed emperor as soon as possible, thus formally separating positions from Jiang Zuo.

After all, once Li Xin became emperor, it meant a formal break with Jiang Zuo, and thus a confrontational situation. The advantage is that no matter who you are, you know who your enemy will be, and everyone can do it well.

As for the disadvantage, it is to put himself on the opposite side of Jiang Zuo too early, especially now that the Yan State has not been completely wiped out.

The decision on this matter naturally returned to Li Xin's hands in the end. Just from the perspective of the timing of the emperor, there is no problem, and the strength is enough. But after discussing with Wang Meng and others, Li Xin finally decided to suspend the matter.

At this point, this matter is over, although the officials below, especially the officials of the Qingzhuang faction, are a little dissatisfied. But this is a decision made by Li Xin, and the young people admire him very much, so everyone still obeys it.

After the news reached Jiankang, Jiang Zuo's group of people couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. At least, Datang didn't show his hostility, otherwise, I'm afraid his side would have to start stepping up preparations for war.

In the first month of the sixth year of Tianding, Huan Wen moved from Jiangling to Guyi, which was later known as Dangtu County, Anhui. This place is located on the bank of the Yangtze River, and it is directly north of the Huai River, and not far from the east is Jiankang.

Huan Wen moved here from Jiangling, which was originally far away from Jiankang, obviously not on a whim~ tide, but with greater considerations. After all, in addition to defending the Yangtze River, the most important thing for this place is that it is close to Jiankang.

This is of great benefit to Huan Wen to control the imperial court and maintain his own power. At least, all the actions of the Jiangzuo court are under his nose, and it may not be so easy for those court ministers to hide something from him.

And his younger brothers Huan Huo and Huan Chong, at this time, were also added to the knighthood, Huan Huo supervised the military of Jingzhou, Yicheng County of Yangzhou, and Jingzhao of Yongzhou, and received the post of Jingzhou Assassin. In addition to the history of Jiangzhou Thorn, Huan Chong also supervised the military affairs of the eight counties of Jing and Henan, and faked festivals.

In this way, Jingzhou in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Jiangzhou in the middle reaches, and Yangzhou Gu in the lower reaches, except for Yizhou, almost the entire Yangtze River is under the control of Huan Wen. And the Yangtze River is exactly the lifeblood of Jiang Zuo's Jin Chamber, if the Yangtze River is lost, Jiang Zuo will basically be half dead.

Under such circumstances, the Jiangzuo Imperial Court naturally had to let Huan Wen take care of it. And Huan Wen, who occupies a favorable position, naturally takes this opportunity to expand his power in a big way.

In February, the Jin Emperor Sima Pi died, because he had no heirs, so as the Empress Dowager Chongde, Zhu Garlic issued an edict to let Sima Yi, the evil king of Lang, take over the throne. The appointment of this new emperor did not cause any waves in other parts of the world, but it caused some turmoil in the Jiangzuo court.

The main reason is that Huan Wen wanted to take the opportunity to expand his power in this matter, so he made some official adjustments, which caused some contradictions within him.

For example, Huan Wen has always been very dissatisfied with Yu Xi, who has been defeated many times before, but because he has been fighting before, he has not found a chance to deal with this matter. Now, I simply took this opportunity to find out all the previous mistakes.

As a result, Yu Xi was not only deposed as a concubine, but also the entire Yu family was implicated.

Except for a few of them who were not greatly affected because of various intricate relationships, the rest of those who were officials in the court were basically swept to the end.

It can be said that after this incident, Jiang Zuo's once-prominent Yu family completely collapsed, and if you want to get up again, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. And this just made Huan Wen's prestige soar, so that no one in the DPRK and China could compete with him for a while.

In April, there was also a big incident on the Yan Kingdom's side, because Taiwei Feng Yi died. Feng Yi is not only an important minister in Yan Kingdom, but also has a very high talent, and he is a very trustworthy person for Murong Ke.

Moreover, he is also the leader of the Bohai Feng clan, and he previously held an important position in the Yan court, which means that the Feng clan fully supports the Yan state.

Now with his death, although there are still many people in the Feng clan who are officials in the court, in the face of the remnants of the Yan State, coupled with the rise of power, many people in the Feng clan have also begun to plan other ways out.

The one who took over the position of Captain Feng Yi was Sikong Yanglu. Then, Huangfu Zhen took over as Sikong and at the same time took the position of the middle secretary. Fortunately, after these few months, the land of Qingzhou has finally settled down, and the Yan Imperial Court, which fled here, has finally managed to get out the appearance of a imperial court with great effort.

Just two months ago, Murong Ke sent people to sail north from the sea, crossed the sea to Pingzhou, and got in touch with the Yan officials and clans there. Because the Shandong Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula are actually not far from the sea, Murong Ke can be regarded as stabilizing Pingzhou.

Counted, the land of these two states is not small in terms of the world. Due to the loss of the Central Plains, the Yan State suffered a lot of losses, so after careful consideration, Murong Ke ordered the Yan army in Pingzhou to attack the Khitan, Fuyu, Beji and other Hu tribes to the east and north.

These ethnic groups all lived in the area of the Great Khing'an Mountains, but they were still in the late stage of slave society, and their population was far less than that of the Yan army in Pingzhou. So, where will it be the opponent of the Yan army!

The Yan army looted a lot of property from them, among which cattle, sheep and horses accounted for the majority, and this thing just solved Murong Ke's current urgency.
