In Shouwang Mansion, Li Ye was watching with a piece of information handed over by Zhang Wei. The information was sent by He Fu, and the content was naturally the rebellion in Qiongzhou, because the rebellion in Qiongzhou had a great impact on the tea business, so He Fu sent a caravan to Yazhou through Jiazhou to buy tea, and brought back the situation of the rebellion in Qiongzhou by the way.

Due to the lack of information in this era, and the slow counterinsurgency of the official army, many of the news were even inferior to these caravans. Thinking of intelligence, Li Ye couldn't help but want to set up an intelligence department, but now the time is not ripe, and there is no suitable person under him who can take on this important task, just think about it.

Zhang Wei didn't understand why His Royal Highness was so concerned about the rebellion, even if it affected the tea business, the suppression of the rebellion was also the business of the Xichuan Jiedu envoy, what did Li Ye, the prince, worry about.

Li Ye didn't see the confusion on Zhang Wei's face, but was seriously looking at this not very detailed information.

Taking advantage of the New Year, the rebellion in Qiongzhou continued to expand, and the day after the He caravan left Mingshan County, the rebels conquered Mingshan County and are now attacking the city of Yazhou. The rebellion in Yazhou and the occupation of Mingshan County meant that in a short period of time, Mengding tea was not expected to be received.

Although Yazhou has a large jurisdictional area, its military strength is weak, and the total number of troops in the entire Yazhou is only a few thousand, and it is still scattered in various states and counties. Therefore, Li Ye is not optimistic about Yazhou holding under the attack of the rebels, or it has been lost now, but the news has not yet come.

The leader of the rebels, Qian Neng, who is familiar with this history, has heard of it, but he is just an ordinary official who was forced to rebel because he offended his superiors. However, in his impression, this rebellion did not last long, nor did it spread to other parts of Xichuan, but only in Qiong and Ya Prefectures, and it should have been quelled by Chen Jingxuan, and Li Ye did not know the details in the middle.

However, he didn't expect that Guo Qi, the envoy of the yellow-headed army who rebelled on the Shangyuan Festival last year, was actually in this rebellion, and he also played a more important role. If it was just Qianneng, he wasn't very worried, after all, Qianneng was just a small official before, but Guo Qi was different.

Being able to become an envoy of the Yellow Head Army shows that he has some abilities, and if he participates in it, then the difficulty factor of quelling the rebellion will increase a lot.

However, Li Ye found that he seemed to be overly worried, even if it was not good to quell the rebellion, it was Chen Jingxuan's business, what did it have to do with him?

"What do you think of this rebellion, Pei Sima?" Putting down the information in his hand, Li Ye asked Pei Rong, who was standing below.

"Chen Jingxuan's side sent Yang Xingqian, who sent 7,000 troops to quell the rebellion. However, I heard from General Liu that this Yang Xingqian was very talented, and with the situation of the rebels, the lower officials thought that this counterinsurgency might be in vain, and even the troops would be lost. Pei Rong knew that His Royal Highness had always wanted to lead the army to the battle, although he didn't know how to fight, but Liu Qi and the others below were military generals, and in the early years of the Nanzhao invasion, Liu Qi was also too superior to the Nanzhao army on the battlefield.

"Your Highness wants to go to quell the rebellion?" After listening to Pei Rong's words, Sun Ye on the side couldn't help but ask.

"That's right." Although Sun Ye is a little old-fashioned in some things, but after being the head of the Shouwang Mansion for almost a year, Li Ye doesn't need to hide everything from the other party, "It's been a year since the Tiance Army was established, but it has never been on the battlefield. This king has always wanted to find an opportunity for the Tiance army to go to the battlefield to hone it, and only in this way can the Tiance army become an army that can fight well, rather than a vase army like the previous Shence army. ”

As an army directly controlled by the imperial court, although the Shence Army was quite numerous, it was about to collapse at the touch of a button when the Huangchao Rebellion. Not surprisingly, the Tiance Army is an important foundation for Li Ye's future start, and he needs a strong army, not an army used to fight soy sauce and fill the façade.

"But the rebellion in Qiongya Erzhou is the matter of the envoy of the Xichuan Festival, is it not appropriate for His Highness to participate in it?" Sun Ye didn't understand why Li Ye wanted to fight so much, could it really be to hone the Tiance army, but the rebels now have tens of thousands of troops, and the Tiance army is only a few thousand, what can it be for?

"What Sun Changshi said makes sense, the rebels are powerful, since Chen Jingxuan is in the way, why does His Highness want to go to this troubled water?" Zheng Ningji also agreed.

"Your Majesty wants to make a prince." Li Ye looked at the three people in front of him, and still said the reason why he wanted to send troops.

"Establish a prince?" The three of them all looked at Li Ye incredulously, this news was simply beyond their expectations.

Zheng Ningji hurriedly said, "The two princes are young, is it too early to make a prince now?" Moreover, the imperial court has not established a prince for several generations, why did His Majesty suddenly remember to establish a prince? ”

Zheng Ningji's words are not wrong, Li Yi and Li Ye's imperial grandfather Xuanzong Li Chen was supported as the emperor by the eunuchs, although the father of the two, Li Yizong, is the eldest son of the emperor, but he is not loved by Li Chen, so Li Chen did not set up a prince, and Li Luo's accession to the throne was also because the eunuchs thought it was easy to control, and the implementation of the edict was pushed to the throne. So recently, several emperors have not had the habit of setting up princes, Li Yi is only 21 years old, and the two princes were born last year, so it is naturally strange to be in such a hurry to establish a prince.

"It was Tian Lingzi who persuaded His Majesty to promote King Li to be the crown prince, but His Majesty hesitated and did not make a decision. However, this king feels that Izuda Lingzi should have said bad things about this king in front of His Majesty, and maybe this Tiance army is the inducement.

In the past, His Majesty had no children, so naturally it was nothing, but now that His Majesty has a prince, he is naturally worried that this royal brother will threaten the throne. Therefore, the Tiance army cannot stay outside Chengdu, which is why this king has been thinking about quelling the rebellion. Only in this way can both His Majesty and the King be reassured. "Li Ye didn't avoid Sun Ye and Zheng Ningji talking about these things this time.

"That's a real problem." Pei Rong also realized the seriousness of the problem, if it involves the throne, any brotherhood, it is all nonsense, especially after Li Shimin opened this head, such a situation often happens.

If Tian Cejun said that it was Li Ye's talisman before, then it may become Li Ye's talisman now.

"Your Majesty isn't so suspicious, is you?" Sun Ye was a little puzzled.

"Sun Changshi, you don't know the cruelty of things, the royal family... Zheng Ningji obviously knows a lot, after all, their family had a close relationship with the eunuchs in the early years, and it has faded a lot in the past ten years, but they still keep in touch, and they still have heard about some things about the royal family.

"In that case, we can only find a way to transfer the Tiance Army out, so that everyone can rest assured." Sun Ye said in a deep voice, and he also began to realize that things were not simple.

"There must be an excuse to transfer out, and now Yang Xingqian has just led the army to quell the rebellion, so he can only wait for the results over there." Pei Rong said in a deep voice.

Sending troops is not something that can be sent out if you want to, and without the consent of Li Yi, the emperor, it is simply impossible.

。。。。。。

"Is this going to war?"

Seeing the Tiance Army entering the tense drill up and down, Li Yingxu, who had just arrived, suddenly had a feeling that the wind and rain were coming. But he was very puzzled, now in addition to the rebellion in the south, it can only be the Yellow Nest rebellion.

The former has Xichuan Jiedu to make Chen Jingxuan in charge, and the latter is not in charge of the Tiance army, which has only a few thousand officers and soldiers. But apart from these two places where troops are needed, there is no need for war in other places.

Rebel? It's simply impossible. Don't look at the Tiance army, there are nearly 7,000 people, but there are 50,000 left and right Shence troops, and there are Xichuan troops, just relying on these 7,000 Tiance troops, it is obviously unrealistic to want to rebel. And Li Ye, the longevity king, is not so stupid.

"Mr. Li said with a smile, but he just took precautions, although he did not fight, he could not relax his military training." Li Ye said with a smile, "I don't know if Mr. Li is still used to the life in the military camp during this time?" ”

To be honest, Li Ye didn't expect this Li Yingxu to really come, and he did a good job.

In this martial arts school, the first batch of 40 people was recruited, most of them were originally from the Tiance Army, and some were recruited from outside. There were more than 130 people who signed up, and after screening and assessment, these 40 people were left.

The martial arts hall is a rare thing, and many people have doubts, but those who can sign up also have some ideas. Smart people will see that this person who comes out of the martial arts hall will have a lot of convenience in future promotions.

However, the requirements are also high, and you must be able to read and write, and this alone has eliminated many people. However, Li Ye is not without giving those ordinary people a chance, there are only these 40 official students in the martial arts hall, but there is also an additional literacy class, with this idea, you can go to the class during the break.

Li Ye's approach really stunned many people, including veterans like Liu Qi, but in the end it was implemented, although the effect was not obvious, but this is still the beginning. After the first batch of 40 people graduates, these will be an example, and then they will attract more people to enter this martial arts academy. And Li Ye just wants to open this martial arts hall into his own Whampoa Military Academy, so he will often come to the martial arts school, in addition to lecturing, he also does not forget to exchange feelings with these students.

The soldier dies for his confidant, Li Ye is so polite and virtuous as a prince, these ordinary students are naturally like being beaten with chicken blood, there is a big Li Ye's words, let them die immediately, they will not hesitate.
