Chapter 718: Inspecting the Eastern Capital

Regarding the attack on the sailor, the imperial court's reaction was to order Tian Hao to go to Chang'an with the relevant culprits to plead guilty.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if Tian Hao goes to Chang'an, it will undoubtedly be more than lucky.

So Tian Hao himself naturally didn't go, but just sent someone to escort a few scapegoats into Beijing.

For this result, the imperial court naturally would not agree.

So he officially announced the crusade against Tian Bao, with Shi Ling as the commander of the camp on all sides of Xuanzhou, and led the Yangtze River Water Division and the soldiers and horses of Jiangxi Province, Zhendong Army, and Shengzhou to conquer Tian Bao.

At this time, Tian Hao was afraid, and hurriedly asked Yang Xingmi and Qian Biao for help, hoping that the two could support him.

Tian Hao has different intentions, and Yang Xingmi naturally knows.

But at this time, Yang Xingmi also wanted to see Tian Hao exterminated by the imperial court, but he did not dare to rebel.

The same is true of Qian Bi.

Although they were unable to attack the imperial army, they invariably used troops against several other armies.

Yang Xingmi ordered Runzhou Assassin Shi An Renyi to lead an army of 20,000 to attack Shengzhou, while Qian Biao sent troops to hoard in Yuezhou and Muzhou, blocking the possibility of the Zhendong Army going north to She.

The imperial court has four armies, and the two of them contain two roads, which is also the best they can do. Directly sent troops against the imperial army, but they still didn't dare.

Li Ye didn't care too much about the battle here, but he asked the Right Dragon Martial Army to move to Hongzhou.

And Li Ye ordered to inspect the eastern capital Luoyang.

Although the Ziwei Palace in the Eastern Capital has not been repaired, it is still no problem to live for a short time.

During this inspection of the Eastern Capital, Li Ye took away all the concubines in the harem, and there were as many as 1,000 eunuchs and palace maids.

Cabinet scholars, Li Ye took Pei Rong, Li Sizhou, and Li Ling, and the rest stayed in Chang'an, and Li Mi, a scholar and secretary of the household department, stayed in Chang'an.

As for the escort army, in addition to the army of 10,000 left prison guards, there was also the Shenji Battalion accompanying them.

This scale is a bit big, but Li Ye also spares his life and will not risk his own life. With the Shenji Battalion accompanying him, he is not afraid of unscrupulous people.

"You'er, it's windy outside, you better get on the carriage and sit, don't catch a cold."

Lifting the curtain and looking at her son riding a horse outside the carriage, Liu Chenyan couldn't help but admonish.

"Queen Mother, it's not cold outside!"

Li You rode on a horse and said with a smile.

"Yan'er, let them play, it's hard to come out once. Are you okay physically? Li Ye said with concern.

A few months ago, Queen Liu Chenyan gave birth to his third child, a dragon and phoenix, a son and a daughter.

Don't look at Liu Chenyan has always insisted on practicing martial arts, but this third child has not had a small impact on her, her body has been a little weak during this time, and if she wants to cultivate well, I am afraid it will take a few months.

Liu Chenyan is 30 years old this year, and Li Ye has decided that he will try to avoid letting the other party get pregnant again in the future.

If a woman has too many children, it will have a great impact on her body. Fortunately, Liu Chenyan has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her physical fitness is better than that of ordinary people, plus she is still young, and she can recover without damaging her body too much.

"The concubine is fine!" Liu Chenyan shook her head, her pale face proving that her body was not as good as she imagined.

"You'er, you play by yourself, don't disturb your queen mother." Li Ye instructed Li You outside the window.

"Sons obey orders!"

Li You, who was standing on a horse, bowed his hand and saluted.

"Go ahead!"

After getting his father's permission, Li You rode away on horseback. When facing Li Ye, the other party was very restrained, but as soon as he left, he became active.

This year's Li You is 12 years old, don't look at his age, but he has the temperament of an adult.

Li You, who is about five feet tall, still looks like he has some breath as a future prince. After years of teaching, the childishness of the other party has been worn away a lot, and the whole person is obviously vigorous and heroic.

Although there are still some deficiencies in character, it is much better than before, and it is not in vain for the teachings of those teachers.

And the group of men and women around Li You, as well as the second prince Li Zhen, the third prince Li Yu, the second princess Li Shu and the fourth princess Li Yi, the rest are all children of the clan.

Among the princes, the fourth prince and the fifth prince died one after another, but these three princes were relatively old, and the others were too young to ride horses like them; Among the princesses, because they are daughters, they don't like to show their heads and ride in the same carriage with their respective concubines.

The children of the ministers' families wanted to be with the children of the royal family, but this time there were no families of several ministers who followed.

This inspection of the Eastern Capital is nominally an inspection, but in fact, Li Ye took a group of concubines and children out to play and relax. Of course, Li Ye also wanted to come out to relax, and he had been nesting in Chang'an, and he had to hold back his illness, just to see Luoyang, the eastern capital.

However, among the men and women of the clan, they were also divided into several small groups, led by the three princes.

There is no doubt that the eldest son of the emperor, Li You, is naturally the focus of the crowd, followed by the second prince Li Zhen, and finally the third prince Li Yu.

Now the crown prince has not been established, and the most competitive for the crown prince is nothing more than the eldest son and the second prince.

Although Li Ye's love for the queen has not diminished, and he also values the eldest son of the emperor, the grandfathers of the two princes are relatively powerful. Before the crown prince was established, no one dared to say who would be the final winner.

"In the blink of an eye, You'er is 12 years old, and it feels like time flies so fast!"

Looking out the window, Li Ye sighed a little.

"Yes, You'er is so old, and the concubines are old." Liu Chenyan replied.

"Yan'er, are you kidding? My Yan'er is still so young and beautiful, how can she be old? Li Ye said with a smile.

said that Li Ye's hand was not honest, but fortunately, the curtain was pulled down, and no one could see it.

"Your Majesty, your hand?" Liu Chenyan said angrily.

"What happened to my hand?" Li Ye pretended not to know.

"Your Majesty... There's someone out there. Liu Chenyan's voice was a little small, and her ears were a little red.

"I didn't do anything? Even if the eunuchs and palace maids outside heard it, they didn't dare to talk nonsense, otherwise I would make them look good. Li Ye smiled, and then inadvertently put his mouth to the other party's ear, "Yan'er, how about you say that I will wait for this trip to the Eastern Capital to be over, and then return to Chang'an to make You'er the crown prince?" ”

"Ahh

Hearing Li Ye's words, Liu Chenyan was stunned, and she didn't have time to care about the big hand that was making trouble on herself, and said in a trembling tone, "This is a major matter of the country, the concubines dare not discuss it, Your Majesty is in charge." ”

"Why are you so nervous? I'm just asking. You'er is still too young, although among the older princes, his talent is not as good as the second and third, but his personality is more suitable for being a king.

It is this character that has to be changed, as a king, not only must he have a broad mind and enough ability, but he must also be decisive in his character.

He is not as good as the second child in this regard, but the second child doesn't know what's going on now, and he is getting deeper and deeper, and he is like this at a young age, like an old man. ”。

Thinking of the second prince Li Zhen, who was quite deep in the city at a young age, Li Ye couldn't help but shake his head.

Of course he knew what the reason was, but this character also made him dislike.
