In September of the first year of Zhonghe, Fengxiang Mansion Xingping.

Fengxiang Mansion, originally called Fufeng County, because Tang Suzong raised troops here to recover Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, so he set up Fengxiang Mansion, called 'Xijing'.

The current situation is somewhat similar to the Anshi Rebellion back then, and it is also somewhat different. At the time of the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was still very strong, even if the rebels broke through Chang'an, but Li Heng, as the crown prince, stood up and ordered the world's army to be the king, pacify the rebels, and recover Chang'an.

However, this time the Huangchao rebellion, no clan could stand up, and Li Yi, as the emperor, directly abandoned the ministers and fled to Chengdu Mansion in Xichuan.

Although no clan stood up, but there were ministers who stood up, Zheng Jin, as the envoy of Fengxiang Jiedu, led the army to defeat the Huangchao army in Xingping, annihilating 20,000 enemies, and blocking the offensive of the Huangchao army in Xingping. This allowed Li Yi, the incompetent emperor, to take refuge in Chengdu Mansion.

But at this time, Fengxiang Mansion, which seemed to be calm, was actually treacherous.

The reason is very simple, because of Huang Chao's attraction and the hearts of the people below, but for all this, Zheng Jin, as the envoy of the festival, does not know.

"Big brother, what do the people of Huangchao say?" A burly man in armor with a thick beard came to his eldest brother to inquire about the situation after a man who looked like a wealthy merchant had left.

A man dressed as a red civil official said in a deep voice, "The people of Huangchao said that as long as we are willing to return to Daqi, we will be named the king of the county, and we will be awarded Fengxiang and Longyou Jiedu, and a lot of money will be given to the brother.

However, Brother Wei felt that this matter was not small, so he did not agree on the spot, but made an excuse to consider it. Second brother, what do you think? ”

"Big brother, I think it's feasible, as long as there are enough benefits, what if it is to return to the Yellow Nest?" The burly man said without hesitation.

"Adult, villain thinks this matter should be cautious." A staff member next to him hurriedly persuaded.

"What is Mr. Zhao's opinion?" Seeing the man in a long shirt next to him, Li Changyan was a little curious, the other party had followed him for many years and was also his confidant.

This person wearing a red official uniform is none other than the marching Sima under the command of Fengxiang Jiedu, Li Changyan. Don't look at the fact that he is wearing a civilian official uniform, but he was born as a military general, but he is quite talented, if you just look at the surface, you can't see that he was once a military general.

"Adult, the villain does not recommend that the adult betray Tang and surrender to Qi, if this is the case, the villain would rather hang himself than follow the adult to surrender." The staff surnamed Zhao said righteously.

"I knew you weren't a good thing, big brother, let me kill him so he wouldn't go to Gaomi." Li Changfu, a burly man on the side, wanted to pull out the saber at his waist as he spoke, but was blocked by Li Changyan.

Li Changfu, hearing the name, also knows that the relationship with Li Changyan is not ordinary, he is Li Changyan's brother. However, unlike Li Changyan's seemingly elegant, Li Changfu is five big and three thick, and looking at this temper, he also knows that he is irritable, and he will pull out a knife to kill people at every turn.

"Changfu, step aside." Li Changyan scolded loudly, and then calmed down and looked at the staff in front of him, who was regarded as his confidant, "Mr. Zhao, can you elaborate?" ”

"Your Excellency. My Fengxiang army has just fought with the Huangchao thief army, although the enemy is defeated, but the loss is not small, if the adults accept the appointment of the Huangchao at this time, what will the soldiers below think?

And the surrender of Huangchao, that is, the rebels, Fengxiang is surrounded by Qinzhou, Xiazhou, Yanyan, Jingyuan, Xingyuan towns, if the adults accept the official position of Huangchao, the army of these towns is bound to be the first to attack the adults, and the adults will be defeated at that time. If the adults just want to seek the position of Fengxiang Festival, there is no need to surrender Huangchao at all.

Now that Fengxiang's army is in the hands of adults, coupled with the long-term fighting, the treasury is empty, and the soldiers below have long been dissatisfied. The adult can directly lead the army to evacuate Xingping and return to Fengxiang, and with the strength in the hands of the commander, he is not the opponent of the adult at all. The staff surnamed Zhao said in a deep voice.

Hearing the analysis of his henchmen, Li Changyan realized that he had misunderstood the other party, and hurriedly apologized, "What Mr. said is very true, it was Li who misunderstood." What I mean is that I just want to take Fengxiang Mansion, and then stop the drum and keep Fengxiang Mansion away from the war. ”

Li Changyan was originally an ambitious person, and Zheng Zheng was powerful before, so he naturally didn't dare to mess around. However, last month, the counterinsurgency army counterattacked Chang'an, although it entered Chang'an, but it was quickly recaptured by the Huangchao army, Tang Hongfu and other generals were killed in battle, and the coalition army suffered heavy losses. Fengxiang Mansion was not a wealthy place, coupled with the long-term battle with Huangchao, the treasury was empty, in order to continue, Zheng Zheng ordered to reduce the reward and cut the military salary, which caused the dissatisfaction of the people below.

Regarding the dissatisfaction of the soldiers, Li Changyan naturally knew that he was not thinking about how to appease the soldiers, but thinking about how to use this matter to expand his power. A general who doesn't want to be a festival envoy is not a good general. At this time, the Jiedu envoy was like an independent small kingdom, the father died, and the son said that he would stay behind and take over as the Jiedu envoy.

Moreover, the power of the Jiedu envoy is far from being comparable to that of a marching Sima, and Zheng Zheng is a literati and does not have a strong control over the Fengxiang army, which makes Li Changyan have a different mind. It happened that Huang Chao sent someone to persuade him to surrender, and he strengthened his thoughts.

"Your Excellency is righteous, but I hope your adult can decide as soon as possible. If you wait for the Xichuan army led by Wang Duo to arrive, it will be even more difficult for the adults to succeed at that time. ”

"Big brother, what Mr. Zhao said is right, since this matter has been decided, let's do it quickly. At that time, as long as the eldest brother raises his arms, the generals below will definitely follow the eldest brother, as long as he controls Fengxiang Mansion, he can't do anything, and then the court and Huangchao will win over the eldest brother. At this time, Li Changfu was also a little excited, Li Changyan became the envoy of the festival, and he, the younger brother, would definitely rise to the top, and even he couldn't wait more than Li Changyan.

"But the handsome man can't wait for me。。。。。" Li Changyan was a little hesitant.

。。。。。。

"Your Highness, why did you send Sister Mei a word, and you didn't send it to me."

In the manor outside the city, Li Ye was fishing for fish by the pond in the manor, and Liu Chenyan next to him was stomping his feet and getting angry, maybe the sound was too loud, the fish that should have been easy to hook was scared away, and the hook did not move for a long time.

"Yan'er, fishing needs to be quiet, you scared my fish away." Li Ye put away the fishing rod and found that the bait on the hook was still hanging untouched, so he complained to the beautiful woman next to him.

"You deserve it, whoever asked you not to send me a word, I am your princess, you can't be so partial." Liu Chenyan said dissatisfiedly.

"You don't like it, it's useless to send it to you. Mei'er is also my woman, usually you spend so much time by my side, it's nothing to send her a song, don't be angry. Li Ye didn't expect that she just gave Sun Mei a word, and Liu Chenyan's reaction was so intense.

Of course, he also blames himself, the words he wrote to express love are too obvious, and he says it so bluntly. Although Liu Chenyan doesn't like to read and write, it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand these things, she can naturally understand the meaning of the poem, and then she is jealous.

"I don't care, you gave Sister Mei a poem, you have to write a poem for me, otherwise you won't want to fish today."

"You 。。。。。"

Seeing that Liu Chenyan suddenly became quite unreasonable, Li Ye also had a headache, whether this was considered a work or not, he had to find such a woman to be his princess. Do you want to regret it? Li Ye suddenly had this idea, but it was quickly snuffed out by him.

Xiaoying and Xiaoyue in the distance are there to endure as much as possible without smiling, and the one who can control her Royal Highness at present is the future princess. The two of them, as well as Sun Mei and others, were very restrained in front of Li Ye, let alone being so unscrupulously coquettish.

"Brother Seven Emperors, you see I've caught a fish." Just when Li Ye had a headache here, Li Yi, who was a few steps away, grabbed the fish taken from the hook and said to Li Ye very happily, not paying attention to the change in Li Ye's expression.

"Yan'er, don't mess around, you see that King Mu has caught so many fish, I can't catch one, it's a shame." Li Ye said anxiously.

"I don't care, who told you to be eccentric." Liu Chenyan put the bamboo stool next to Li Ye, her face bulging.

"Hey, I originally said to give you a gift, but you're like this, it makes me so sad, I'll give it to someone else. I think it's good to give it to Hanyan, well-behaved and sensible. Li Ye said disappointedly, which made He Hanyan, who was waiting on the side, a little at a loss.

"What gift? Don't lie to me. Hearing the gift, Liu Chenyan's expression changed suddenly, and she hurriedly asked, of course, she didn't forget to look at He Hanyan next to her.

He Hanyan is strictly her cousin, although she hasn't seen much of it, she still knows this person, but she didn't expect to be sent to Shouwang's Mansion by her uncle.

"Didn't you let me fish? If I can't catch a fish, I'm in a bad mood and I don't want to give gifts. Li Ye said 'dissatisfied', but seeing Liu Chenyan's overwhelmed expression, he was overjoyed, Xiaoxiao, still fighting with me, girl, you are still too tender.

"Isn't it okay if I don't affect your fishing? But you have to tell what the gift is. ”
