When Li Shi returned to the dormitory, it happened that the lieutenant Tan Zhizhong came to report that the corridor of the main office of the Xuanzheng Palace had collapsed due to the wind and rain a few days ago.

"Then let them find someone to fix it."

"But everyone, October is the month of Kuigang, and according to the Yin and Yang Official, it is not suitable to start construction." Tan Zhizhong was a little embarrassed.

"I've never believed that." Li Shi's attitude was more resolute, and he immediately called someone to repair it, regardless of whether it was feng shui or not, and whether it was auspicious or not.

"Do you have a sentence that you don't know whether to say or not?" Tan Zhi stood with his hands hunched back, his face full of humble smiles.

"Say it."

"In fact, the reason why the old slave is so worried is because a few days ago, there was a female refiner named Wu Cailuan who was cultivating in Zhongnan Mountain in Jingfang Street (the emperor frowned, this name seems to be a little familiar), and the female officials, dyers, and musicians in the court have all liked to listen to her sermons recently, and it is said that the divination is the most effective - and that day, after the corridor of the Xuanzheng Hall was broken, I heard that this Wu Cailuan sang 'Zheng Ya Li, in danger; Kuigang made, Wei Yue rebelled', the old slave was frightened when he heard it, and he didn't dare to hide it from everyone. ”

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help muttering, "Standing upright, in danger; Kuigang made, Wei Yue reversed".

Linwei is the name of a county, that is, Handan.

In the eighth year of the Great Calendar, it also belonged to the Anshi rebel party system, occupying the festival degree of Xiang, Ci, Xing, and Xue Gang so that Xue Song (a descendant of Xue Rengui and Xue Gang) died, and the imperial court tried to recover these four states, but Tian Chengsi took the opportunity to rob them, and finally Xiangzhou and Zhaozhou were taken away by Tian Chenghe, and the imperial court only got Xing, Ci Erzhou and Linwei County.

But even so, Tian Chengsi still felt very uncomfortable, because Xingzhou, Cizhou and Linwei happened to occupy the "flank position" west of Weibo Town, and connected with Li Baozhen's Zelu Zhaoyi Army (that is, the ancient battleground, Shangdang) of the imperial court, and they were horns of each other - once there was any wind and grass in Weibo Town, Li Baozhen could directly pass through the towering Taihang, appear in the boundary of Xing and Ci, and drive straight into it, approaching the hinterland of Weibo Town through the plains.

Therefore, for Wei Botian's clan, only by capturing Xing, Ci Erzhou and Linwei County can he advance his sphere of influence to Taihang Mountain, which is called "the absolute mountain as a block" in military geography, so that his sphere of influence will be safe.

At this time, Li Shi thought about the ballad sung by Wu Cailuan for a while, could it be that this refiner did not mean to cultivate the Xuanzheng Palace, but to warn me: Once this winter passes, Wei Bozhen (Tianxiong Army) and Jizhen (Chengde Army) will rebel? Kuigang made, Wei Yue anti-- Wei is Weizhou, Yue is Li Weiyue of Chengde? That is to say, Wei Botian Yue wants to take Linhuan, and Li Weiyue wants to stay in the festival?

"Where is this alchemist now?"

"I don't know, the old slave also sent someone to investigate, and it seems that he disappeared into Zhongnan Mountain again, and Yunshen is nowhere to be found." Tan Zhizhong said it mysteriously.

Li Shi said that there is no need to worry about this, the Xuanzheng Hall is the place of the court, and it is related to the prestige of the court, how can it not be repaired? But the emperor then also sent an edict demanding that Li Baozhen's Zhaoyi army and Li Mian's Yongping army (stationed in Biansong) prepare for battle, just in case.

"When necessary, the departments of Li Sheng and Zhu Zhongliang of the Shence Army left and right in the capital, including the Shence Fangqiu Military Towns in Purun, Linyou, Fengtian and other places in Jingxi, are also ready to rush to the Kanto.

At the same time, he sent an envoy to Weibo, Hebei, to ask Tian Yue to sell his troops and hand over the household registration and the first battle document book to the imperial court. ”

"What about Liu Yan?" Tan Zhizhong deliberately asked this Guiguan envoy this time.

It seems to be speculating on the attitude of the emperor.

The emperor thought about it and said that there is no need to embarrass him anymore, how difficult the country is now, Liu Yan has a good relationship with several Fang towns, but he is by no means in the same stream as them, once there is a change, he can regain power, or mediate from it, this chess piece is useful.

At the same time, at night, in Yang Yan's house, the prime minister called Li Zhou again and asked him to go to Xiangyang again.

Li Zhou cried with a sad face, obviously not wanting to accept this order.

He listened to Yang Yan's words before, entered Jingzhou City to tell the rebels, his entourage was killed, and he almost died, all his positions were taken away by Gao Yue, and he thought he was unlucky to go home.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yan gave him the same mission this time, and went south to tell Liang Chongyi.

Yang Yanhong talked about it and asked Li Zhou to go this time, he must speak well on behalf of the imperial court, protect the titles of Liang Chongyi, his family members, and generals, and successfully solve the matter of Shannan Dongdao, "As long as Liang Chongyi is willing to return to the imperial court, then there is no excuse for Li Xilie of Caizhou to encroach on Xiangyang again, which is the blessing of the imperial court." Then Yang Yan said again, this is also your blessing - I promise you, as long as you complete your mission, the position of the Zhongshushe person will be yours after you come back, no, you will go to Xiangyang as a Zhongshushe person immediately.

Li Zhou didn't dare to offend this ruler, so he could only accept it.

"Very good, I'll see you off in person at Baqiao Station in three days."

In fact, Li Zhou understands that the so-called "farewell" means that Yang Yan is not at ease with himself.

On the day of farewell, Yang Yan and a large group of courtiers came to Baqiao Station majestically, set up a banquet and wine, folded willows and poems, and gave Li Zhou enough face. Yang Yan also hopes to use this to release the biggest signal of goodwill to Liang Chongyi of Shannan Dongdao, "As long as you submit to the imperial court, it will never do anything to you, and Ben Zhonglang's posture is the representative." ”

At the post station banquet, Yang Yan, who was sitting on the table, saw Cui Qing again, and said enthusiastically, "Brother Cui Eighteen, don't come to harm?" ”

Cui Qing was also very moved, and bowed to Yang Yan for a long time, Yang Yan hurriedly said that you and I don't have to be like this, and Yang Yan felt embarrassed after a few glasses of wine.

After all, he never fulfilled his promise to give Cui Qing a half-official position, seeing Cui Qing's scorching and loyal eyes, Yang Yan was a little embarrassed, but he didn't want to promise him anything in front of everyone, in that case, others would ridicule him for giving him an official position - since his henchmen Zhang Zhu and Shen Jiji were beaten by the emperor, he has now become cautious.

Therefore, until the end of the feast, Yang Yan still did not speak.

On the side of the water river in front of the Baqiao Post Tower, Li Zhou held an envoy in his hand, and while waiting for the boat, he was secretly uneasy.

Although Yang Yan left, the burden in his heart was especially heavier than before.

He couldn't help but think of the source of the envoy who returned to Hui.

Yuan Xiu was originally a person from the Imperial History Tower, and he was also a member of the Imperial History, but later abandoned his wife because of a small contradiction, according to the normal concept, the divorce of a man in the Tang Dynasty is nothing. But Yuanxiu's wife is not an ordinary person, but the daughter of Wang Yi, the former servant of the Ministry of Officials, "Taiyuan Wang's", Wang Yi also has a younger brother named Wang Hong, who is also a cattle man, who recruited troops alone in the fifth year of the Great Calendar, quelled the rebellion in Lingnan, and is now the history of Fenzhou Thorn. Therefore, if the source divorces his wife, how can the wife family give up? The complaint was sent to the Imperial History Observatory, and Genxiu was also bold and reckless, and he actually did not report it, and as a result, he was directly impeached and removed from the list (loss of political identity).

But soon after Yang Yan took power, he promoted Yuan Xiu from the ranks of the rogues overnight, and made him Jingzhao Shaoyin.
