Chapter 221: Eventful Autumn (Second Update)
Princess Changning's wedding was not held in Princess Changning's mansion, but in the courtyard of Chongrenfang, before Li Ye was in Chengdu Mansion, so he did not follow the old system, but after returning to Chang'an, everything had to follow the rules.
Although it has been repaired, some places in the ceremonial courtyard are still a little dilapidated, and even the Daming Palace has only been simply repaired, not to mention other places.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty couldn't even maintain the superficial majesty, and how did you want the people of the world to respect you?
The Tang Dynasty is no more, and the country will not be the country.
Thinking of this, the princes also felt a little desolate in their hearts.
Although their power was limited, when the dynasty was strong, their princes also rose, but now, even those ministers look down on their princes.
The princess got married, and less than one in ten ministers came to participate. Although Tian Lingzi came, he also left in a hurry, and those ministers who originally came to see Tian Lingzi's face also retired one after another, knowing that the wedding has not officially started.
"Why did this thief run away?"
"Who knows, maybe he's busy grabbing other people's salt pools." King Fu pouted.
During this time, it was no secret that Tian Lingzi took a fancy to the salt pond in the river and wanted to snatch it from Wang Chongrong, although these princes did not care about politics, they did not know anything.
"Wang Chongrong is not a good stubble, he has occupied the river for so many years, his soldiers are strong and strong, it is not easy for Tian Lingzi to seize the salt pond." Xiangyang Li Xuan on the side said.
"The strength of the field thieves is not small, there are tens of thousands of gods, if you persuade Feng Xiang and a few other Jiedu envoys to send troops, it may not be impossible to capture the river.
But let's be honest, if we can take the salt pond in the river, we will at least have a better life. Now that the treasury is empty, the money for us clans is much less, and if it weren't for some ways to make a profit, we would really starve to death. King Fu said with a smile.
While the kings were talking, the wedding had already begun. As Zong Zhengqing, King Xue Li Zhirou was presiding over the wedding, and in front of King Mu Li Yi, there was a man whispering to King Mu.
Compared with the princes of Mu Wangshu, King Fu and King Xiang are both heirs, and there is still a gap in status.

Most of the people present knew each other, but they had never seen this man with an extraordinary temperament beside King Mu.
"Who is the man who spoke to King Mu? Could it be the junior of whose family? Li Xuan said curiously.
"What do you say about him?" Seeing Li Yingxu beside King Mu, King Fu hesitated.
"Could it be that King Fu knows this man?"
"I know but I know, his name is Li Yingxu, and he is from the Jiang Xia House of the Li family in Zhao County. It's not the clan, it's the cronies around King Shou, and King Shou didn't come, so he let him come with a congratulatory gift. In the past two days, I'm looking for someone to repair the Shou Palace. King Fu naturally knew Li Yingxu, so he explained.
"Shouwang? But I haven't seen him for a long time, and I heard that he became the envoy of Shannan West Road, and he can be regarded as free. Peng Wang Li Ti on the side said with a smile.
"That's right, being able to give so many congratulatory gifts, it can be seen that King Shou's life is good. Let this king leave Chang'an, so as not to live comfortably here. King Fu joked.
These princes don't look at the scenery, in fact, they are also restricted, they can't lead troops, they can't engage in politics, and the places where they live are not so casual.
The places where these princes live are sixteen houses, and they are dedicated to these princes. It originated in the Ten Princes' Mansion in the Xuanzong period of the Tang Dynasty, and was later expanded into the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, also known as the Sixteen Mansions.
The reason why this was done was also to restrain the prince, supervise the prince, and prevent the prince from making trouble. Since the period of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the princes and queens of the following dynasties have lived here, and there have been several emperors here.
Of course, just because it's called sixteen houses doesn't mean that there are only sixteen houses. The Sixteen Princes' Mansion is located in the northeast of Chang'an City, roughly located in the south of Daming Palace, west of Taiji Palace, and north of Xingqing Palace.
In the early years, the scale of the sixteen mansions was not large, and now it is about the same as the scale of Daming Palace, after all, for more than a hundred years, the princes and grandchildren do not know how many people. It's just that the Huangchao Rebellion caused heavy losses to the clan, and the Sixteen Mansions were not as lively as before.
Moreover, Li Ye's Shouwang Mansion is in the Sixteenth House. It's just that there is no one to live in for the time being, only some servants are cleaning, and the repair work has just begun.
"King Fu, what you think is quite beautiful. You thought you would leave Chang'an if you wanted to? Born in the emperor's family, there are always so many unsatisfactory, so you should give up that unrealistic idea. King Peng said with a smile.
"It's not just talking." King Fu didn't dare to face King Peng, the seniority gap was too big to provoke.
Just as the wedding was about to end, a member of the clan ran into the hall in a panic and shouted, which undoubtedly affected the progress of the wedding.
"King Chen, what are you doing? I don't know the rules at all, what kind of system is it? King Peng immediately stepped forward and reprimanded loudly.
"Uncle Huang, the big thing is not good, it's going to be a fight!" King Chen's neck shrank, but thinking of the news he had just heard, he blurted out anxiously.
"What's going on? Could it be that the thief of the Yellow Nest could not come back from the dead? King Peng's face was not good.
Huang Chao died last year, and these princes at his head also saw it with their own eyes, so King Peng naturally mocked King Chen for not knowing how to measure. This is the wedding scene, King Chen is shouting so much, what kind of system is it?
"Uncle Huang, it's not Huang Chao, it's Wang Chongrong and King Shou." Chen Wang hurriedly said.
"What?"
The surrounding clans were obviously a little surprised, not on Wang Chongrong's side, but on King Shou's side. Of course, they wouldn't think that Wang Chongrong and King Shou were fighting, so far away, hitting the air?
As for Wang Chongrong's side, they had some speculation in their hearts, maybe Tian Lingzi was going to make a move on Wang Chongrong. But what's going on with King Shou? He was in Shannan West Road when he was doing a good job, how could he fight.
However, after listening to King Chen's explanation, the kings wanted to kill King Chen directly on the spot, making a fuss.
What do they think is going on over there with King Shou? It was Dongchuan Jiedu who made Gao Renhou play the impeachment of King Shou for interfering in Dongchuan's internal affairs with the intention of rebellion.
It turned out that Gao Renhou's impeachment was sent to Chang'an. For this letter, Gao Renhou also tried his best, no way, who asked Li Ye to strictly investigate the business travel, Gao Renhou's fold finally went around to Lychee Road before finding a way to send it to Chang'an.
The content is roughly that Gao Renhou put down the rebellion in Dongchuan, and King Shou supported the rebels, and then Gao Renhou said that King Shou intended to rebel.
The prince present was not a fool, and he could guess that Gao Renhou should be clearing the remnants of the former Jiedu envoy Yang Shili, and then King Shou didn't know what to think, so he helped Yang Shili to resist Gao Renhou.
As for the rebellion? Who rebelled and put Chang'an and didn't fight, and went to fight Dongchuan, and the scale was still so small?
But thinking of this, everyone is also speculating in their hearts whether King Shou will rebel. King Shou sits on a government and twelve states in Shannan West Road, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and is so close to Chang'an, if he rebels, he may really be able to hit Chang'an City.
However, at present, King Shou has not shown any intention of rebelling, and neither Li Yi nor Tian Lingzi wants to touch this time bomb. Sooner or later, they will have to defuse the bomb, but not now.
What really interested the kings was another piece of news.
Just now, Wang Chongrong wrote a letter to impeach Tian Lingzi for dividing the relationship between the feudal towns, listing Tian Lingzi's ten major crimes. Annoyed and angry, Tian Lingzi ordered Zhu Mei to be made by Suining Jiedu, Li Changfu by Fengxiang Jiedu, and Li Sigong by Xiazhou Jiedu to lead troops to crusade against Wang Chongrong and stationed in Shayuan with the Shence army.
Several towns of soldiers and horses, plus the Shence army, that is almost a hundred thousand troops, it seems that Tian Lingzi is determined to solve Wang Chongrong by force.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at the groom at the wedding scene, Liu Kui, the other party, as the commander of the Shence Army, thought that he would soon lead the troops to go out.
And the small fights of thousands of people on King Shou's side, the kings didn't pay attention to it, and they were all attracted by Tian Lingzi's crusade against Wang Chongrong.
After a false alarm, the wedding went on as normal. As for Wang Chongrong's matter, the kings sighed at most about the eventful autumn, and they left it behind, they didn't think they would lose, on the contrary, they also supported Tian Lingzi in this matter.
After destroying Wang Chongrong and seizing the salt pond, their lives can be much better. As for fighting again, then fight, anyway, the world is chaotic enough, and it is nothing more chaotic.
That night, Li Yingxu learned about the situation in Chang'an at this time with the help of the person in charge of Jinyi Wei Chang'an. The next day, he sent people to several important palaces to deliver prayers.

"Jie Shuai, what now? The thieves are determined to fight us. The army of Zhuzhen plus the Shence army may be difficult to resist with the strength of our river. β
The river and Guanzhong are also separated by a Yellow River, so the news of Chang'an quickly spread to the river. This made the river panic up and down, although they were strong and strong in the river, but their fists were invincible with four hands, they were facing the rabble of the Huangchao army, but the army of Zhuzhen and the army of Shence.
Although they can not take the Shence Army in their eyes, the soldiers and horses in Fengxiang, Suining, Yanyan, Xiazhou and other towns are not good at stubble. Competing with the army of all towns with a town, no one has the confidence, and the Hedong Jiedu makes Li Keyong still eyeing him from the sidelines.
"Li Changfu and Zhu Mei, were they kicked in the head by a donkey? Tian Lingzi can deal with my Wang Chongrong today, and he can also deal with them tomorrow, don't they understand the truth of cold lips and teeth? Wang Chongrong was a little angry.
But being angry can't solve the problem, if you don't want to find a way, you may not wait for the imperial army to come, and you will have a problem on your side.
"Jieshuai, Feng Xiang, Wei Ning and others have already sent troops, obviously they are determined to crusade against us with Tian Lingzi, and if they want to change the current predicament, they can only make a fuss about Li Keyong." Wang Chongying on the side said.
"Li Keyong? The Shatuo people are capricious, and cooperating with him is not seeking the skin of the tiger? For Li Keyong's strong neighbor, Wang Chongrong is not very relieved.
And Li Ke is capricious with this person, who knows if he will be stabbed by the other party if he cooperates with him?
