Shouwang Mansion, side hall, here is Shouwang Mansion used to entertain guests, at this time in the side hall, three men and three women are resting here, here is He Dong, Sun Mei and his party.

However, these six people are divided into two small groups. Sun Mei and Liu Chenyan were together, but He Dong was with his three subordinates, but because they were injured last night, Liu Chenyan and the woman in red were lying on the bed.

Liu Chenyan's injuries were not serious, only skin injuries, but because of excessive blood loss. After coming to the palace, the doctor of the palace gave him a simple treatment of the wounds on his body, then applied medicine and bandaged it. Thinking of her friend's injuries, Sun Mei's expression was also a little worried.

Although the atmosphere of Datang is open, Liu Chenyan is a woman after all, and her parents will not allow her to join the army or anything, and the injuries on her body will also become a flaw for her.

However, Liu Chenyan didn't think as much as Sun Mei thought, although this injury was a bit bad, but she had been injured since she was a child, so she didn't care very much.

However, He Dong on the side is different, after learning that Li Ye is the prince, he has not slept since last night, and now he has dark circles in both eyes, fortunately, he did not find a panda at this time, and there is no such thing as panda eyes.

"I didn't expect that I, He Dong, would actually offend a prince, what can I do? What can I do? If the old man found out, he wouldn't have beaten me to death. What can I do? ”

He Dong, who looked anxious, walked back and forth in the open space in the side hall, and kept reading some words in his mouth. Liu Chenyan next to her was not calm at this time, and He Dong, who heard the broken thoughts, was a little annoyed, "Cousin, can you stop talking, my ears have been buzzing, and I am noisy!" ”

"What do you know?" He Dong glared at his cousin, "That's the prince, I offended him before, if he investigates it, don't talk about my father, even my uncle can't protect me." I knew it earlier... I knew it earlier... ”

"Who called you so snobbish, then what is Chen Hu, you don't want to offend him, but you offended someone who shouldn't be offended!" Liu Chenyan, who was lying down, snorted.

"How did I know that he was the prince, if I knew, I wouldn't dare to give me a few dares." He Dong was full of regret, if he knew that Li Ye was the prince, he naturally didn't have to consider the pressure on Chen Hu's side, but he thought that Li Ye and his party were people from other places who came to see the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

It's not wrong in other places, Ke Li Ye's group of outsiders don't know how much stronger than Chen Hu.

"Since His Royal Highness King Shou saved us, he will definitely not pursue this matter, Brother He, you can rest assured." Sun Mei on the side immediately opened her mouth to persuade.

Onlookers are clear, Sun Mei is indeed right. If Li Ye really minded the unpleasantness last night, he wouldn't have saved them last night, let alone brought them back to the palace, since the other party did this, it means that he didn't take that matter to heart.

"That's what I said!" Sun Mei's enlightenment didn't play a big role, He Dong thought more, he not only thought about how to keep King Shou from pursuing this matter, but also thought about how to get on this line, King Shou is the younger brother of the emperor today, with a noble status, what is he afraid of in the future?

Thinking about it, He Dong's eyes fell on his cousin on the bed, he remembered that King Shou had turned his back on his cousin last night, and looking at his cousin's expression, he seemed to have a good impression of King Shou. However, thinking of his cousin's character, as long as King Shou inquires, it is estimated that he will be able to know, so it is unlikely that he will send his cousin.

。。。。。。

"Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that we should take this opportunity to rectify the Yellow Head Army, so as not to have the remnants of the rebel army to rebel again."

In the afternoon, after Li Yi woke up, Tian Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan came together, and when Li Yi asked him to discuss the aftermath, Tian Lingzi couldn't wait to get military power.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Jin is right, now is the opportunity to rectify the Yellow Head Army, the opportunity must not be lost, and the time will not come again." Chen Jingxuan hurriedly agreed.

"Did the renegade thief catch it? If he is caught, he will be put to death immediately. Li Yi did not directly answer the suggestion of the two, but thought of the rebel leader who almost put him in prison last night.

"This... Tian Lingzi wanted to change the topic, but he didn't expect Li Yi to still remember this, so he suddenly hesitated for a while and said, "The old slave is not talented, let Guo Qi's thief escape." ”

"What? Did you send someone to chase it? Li Yi immediately stood up and came to Tian Lingzi, looking slightly excited.

Tian Lingzi hurriedly replied, "Back to Your Majesty, I have already sent people to chase him, but some officials in the south have something to do with Guo Qi's thief, I'm afraid that even if you send chasing soldiers, it will be difficult to capture Guo Qi's thief alive." ”

"Do those people dare to shield traitors?" Li Yi was furious.

Li Ye on the side sighed in his heart, his imperial brother was still too young, and he was driven by Tian Lingzi, an old treacherous and cunning man, who was driven by a few words, it was obvious that Tian Lingzi deliberately said that, using his imperial brother's anger against the rebels to achieve the goal he wanted.

From what Tian Lingzi said at the beginning, Li Yi guessed that Tian Lingzi should want to control the military power, after all, Chen Jingxuan seems to be the envoy of Xichuan Jiedu, but he only controls a few thousand personal soldiers, and does not control the Huangtou Army in the middle of Xichuan, nor does he control the tooth soldiers and Zhizhou soldiers. In addition to last night's incident, I believe that Tian Lingzi will attach more importance to military power.

"Your Majesty has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and I don't know the impact of the Yellow Nest thieves on those who have bad intentions. Although Lord Chen was an envoy of Jiedu, the army under his command was only his own soldiers, and the troops such as the Yellow Head Army and the Tooth Soldiers did not obey the orders at all, which caused the rebels to rage last night.

If Lord Chen could control these troops, His Majesty would not have been forced to such a point by the traitors last night. The old slave thinks that now is the time to reorganize the army, so that His Majesty's dragon body can ensure that there is no worries. Tian Lingzi's expression was serious, and it was easy for people to think that he was a loyal courtier, but Li Ye found that the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, although it was not obvious, but he still noticed it.

Thinking of what happened to him last night, Li Yi's expression was cloudy, which made him wake up from his dream many times before resting, and it became his shadow, but he could think about the impact of last night's incident on him.

However, looking at Tian Lingzi, who looked like a loyal minister, Li Yi was a little disappointed, of course, there was Yang Fugong's credit.

Yang Fugong has always been pressed by Tian Lingzi, although he also has a brother who led the army to quell the rebellion of Huangchao in the Central Plains, but his brother cannot be compared with the current status of Chen Jingxuan, and now the envoys of the East and West Sichuan and Shannan West Dao are all Tian Lingzi's people, and his status next to the emperor is naturally not as good as Tian Lingzi.

However, this does not mean that he is afraid of the other party, and the forbidden army is not exactly Tian Lingzi's people, Tian Lingzi is only controlling the Zuo Shence army, and now that the Shence army is reorganized, it is naturally impossible to follow Tian Lingzi's ideas.

The two already had contradictions, and it was not easy to find an opportunity, and Yang Fugong naturally would not miss this good opportunity to make a small report. He told the emperor the reason why Guo Qi rebelled last night, so now Li Yi is dissatisfied with Tian Lingzi, but Tian Lingzi has not noticed it yet.

"Father, how are you going to reorganize the army?" Li Yi asked nonchalantly.

Tian Lingzi also noticed the change in Li Yi's tone, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he didn't think about it, but said slowly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty benefited from the old slave to rebuild the Shence Army before. The Xichuan area is rich in money and food, and there are hundreds of thousands of adult men, which is enough to rebuild the Shence army.

At the same time, the yellow-headed army and the tooth soldiers were rectified to ensure that the Jiedu envoy controlled the Xichuan army, so that there would be no last night's situation in the future. ”

What Tian Lingzi said actually also shows the status of Sichuan at this time. Of course, the Sichuan region at this time included the whole territory of Xichuan, the whole territory of Dongchuan and part of Shannan West Road, as well as the plateau area occupied by Tubo and the Liangshan area occupied by Nanzhao.

At this time, there was no Sichuan statement, only Sanchuan's statement. However, the total number of households in the Sanchuan area is 1.2 million, with a total population of about 6 million, while the largest population in the Sanchuan area is Xichuan, with 600,000 households and a total population of nearly 3 million.

This number is naturally pitiful in the 21st century, after all, there were more than 10 million people in Chengdu at that time, but you must know that there were only 45 million people in the Tang Dynasty at this time, and there were 6 million in the Sanchuan area, which is almost one-seventh.

In fact, when Xi Zong first ascended the throne, the registered population should have been more than 50 million, but with the beginning of the Huangchao rebellion and the continuous wars, the population has dropped sharply in recent years, not to mention that the Huangchao is still an actual butcher.

Of course, this is only the registered population, because tenant farmers, black households, slaves, monks, and foreigners are not registered, this population figure is not accurate, after all, there is no such clear and clear household registration management system as in the 21st century. In fact, Li Ye was doubting that if those who were not registered were counted, the current population of the Tang Dynasty might be more than 60 million. Of course, this is just speculation.

It is also the reason why there are enough Chengding in the Sanchuan area, especially in the Xichuan area, and Tian Lingzi has great confidence in the rebuilding of the Shence Army and the formation of the Xichuan Army.
