After a few days, Emperor Li Shi's mood became more and more depressed, because the people's anger was too great, he had to release Yan Ying and let him reinstate Jing Zhaoyin's original post, and the people of Chang'an who surrounded the Daming Palace and Jianfu Gate dispersed one after another.

The plan to mobilize the people of Gyeonggi to go to Pyongyang "Mintun" also collapsed.

Under the city of Jingzhou, the soldiers of Anxi and Beiting camps showed great antagonism, they openly detained Li Zhou, the messenger who entered the city to give advice, and also beheaded Li Zhou's entourage, and threw their heads outside the trench of the city gate - Zhu Jun's bitter persuasion under the city had no effect, so he could only join Li Huaiguang to build many camps around Jingzhou City and set up a long siege, and the two sides launched a long confrontation - this year the whole Jingzhou is afraid that there will be no harvest, although Li Shi deeply doubts the rationality of the Jingyuan counterinsurgency war, he must not retreat.

Once you retreat, what will you face in the world?

The money of the treasury is like ice and snow under the sun, melting and invisible.

The mood of the courtiers became more and more intense, not only that, but Heshuo and Ziqing Fangzhen also repeatedly asked the Jinjuyuan to send documents, complaining about why the emperor and the prime minister deposed Duan Xiushi for no reason, and crusaded against Jingzhou City, and they felt a kind of crisis, and they were no longer appeased by the imperial court.

Just now, Zhang She, a scholar from Hanlin University, and others suggested to him, "Please ask Your Majesty to reduce the expenses of cars, clothing, meals and other expenses to show your determination to quell the rebellion." ”

It means that Li Shi can mobilize the entire palace and reduce food and clothing, which can not only save money for the army, but also set an example for his subjects.

At the same time, Wei Lun, who returned from the envoy to Xifan, and Shen Jiji, a bachelor of Jixian Academy, also came to play, singing praises for Yang Yan's "Yuanzhou City Building Plan", Shen Jiji is a lotus flower, and symmetrically in the song, "Xifan occupies 500,000 Helong, all of them think about my Tang day and night, hear Wei Shaoqing, or cry blood, or worship and dance to the east, and look forward to the king's master, such as looking forward to the year (harvest)!" ”

It seems that as soon as the Tang army arrived in Yuan and Huierzhou, hundreds of thousands of people from Hehuang and Longxi rushed to meet the king.

Therefore, Yang Menlang's plan is far-sighted and impeccable.

As for the rebellion in Jingzhou, Shen Jiji thought that it was only a temporary difficulty, as long as the summer and autumn taxes and Hudou rice were collected, the traitors were not afraid, and the construction of the city in Yuanzhou would definitely be carried out.

Wei Lun and Shen Jiji's words made Li Shi pluck up some confidence, so he listened to Zhang She's suggestion and began to announce that the entire imperial court, up to himself, down to ordinary palace maids and eunuch temples, would reduce food and clothing from now on, and asked the state treasury to come up with the last money to give spring clothes to the army that was quelling the rebellion in Jingzhou.

In addition, the implementation of the two tax laws is unobstructed.

When the emperor himself turned in from behind the screen, he found that the crown prince Xuanwang Li Yi, the adopted Shu King Li Yi (that is, Li Shi's brother, the son of the Zhaojing prince who went to Xu, formerly known as Li Mo), the eldest daughter Princess Tang'an, as well as his wife Wang and several concubines, all sat at the table, without bright colors, and the food table was full of simple meals.

When Li Shi saw this situation, he felt relieved and guilty.

Then, Li Shi deliberately went to Tang An's living room and found that his daughter had given away a lot of clothes and jewelry, pawned them to support the army, and the whole room was bleak, with only screens, beds and a few columns of flowers and books.

Li Shi walked to the book again, and found that it was full of books written by Gao Yue, it seemed that this was the only spiritual comfort for his daughter now, and he couldn't help but tears were about to fall, and he remembered the marriage between Tang An and Gao Yue, and choked up, "I'm sorry for my daughter, but I let Cui Ning's family get a good son-in-law." ”

But his words were very low, so low that Tang An didn't even hear them.

"Xuan Shu, before Yan Lugong had advised me to select twenty or thirty loyal young Qingyi officials to take turns to be upright in the east of the Zichen Palace, so as to be consulted. In your opinion, can Gao Yue? ”

Of course, Tang An wanted to be close to Gao Yue in his heart, and now that her father asked her, he was actually hinting to her that if she wanted Gao Yue to write something she liked to read, she could send the new Shaoyang Academy envoy Huo Zhongtang to ask for it.

As for whether her daughter will have an affair with Gao Yue, Li Shi doesn't care, her daughter is just young, so she will do what she wants, as long as she doesn't get involved in politics. In addition, it is also a good thing that my daughter can take a fancy to other young heroes.

So under such a tacit understanding, Tang An nodded......

"Let me be a straight east waiting yard?" In the Imperial City Imperial History Terrace Courtyard, Gao Yue was a little surprised, but he was also a little expected, and said to Lu Qi, who came to report the news.

Then Lu Qi gave him Yuzhi's book, and when Gao Yue saw it, he shouted, "What do you mean by asking me to be straight every other day?" ”

That's not how people are employed, right, ten days of work to add five days of work......

"Who is Yi Song, who is now in the most idle palace in the three courtyards? Besides, the waiting courtyard can be closer to the Holy Lord. Lu Qi also joked.

Then the two of them did not speak, but glanced at each other, and they both knew each other.

Gao Yue actually admired Lu Qi very much, although he knew that he was a big traitor, but engaging in something with him was very worry-free and effort-saving.

At the same time, the secretary province opposite the Yushi Terrace, this time Zheng Qi took the initiative to go to Dou Shen and Li Feng, who were chattering about nightlife, and saluted with his sleeves, hoping to enter the circle.

He also said that he had received the guidance of Chang Gon, the Fujian observation envoy, and hoped to get acquainted with Yang Hongye, the son of Xiaoyangshan, in order to get help in the examination held in June.

It happened that during this time, Dou Magpie and Yang Hongye had a hot fight, and when he saw that the talented Zheng Qi was also willing to join, of course he was very happy, so he told him the location and situation of Yang Hongye's recent banquets.

After the news that the emperor's royal family took the lead in reducing food, clothing, and horses came out, it still shook the entire capital a lot, and the officials and the people were considerate of the Son of Heaven (the emperor is still like this, how can we not work hard and not restrain it), so Ding Kou, who was drawn to transport grain, was also embarrassed to ask for more commissions, and the officials also began to respond to the call and also cut back on food and clothing.

Yang Yan was very proud, thinking that the construction of the city in Yuanzhou would eventually have results, so he focused all his energy on the goal of knocking down Liu Yan during this time.

Now it's time for the final blow.

Early in the morning, Liu Yan walked down the street where he had been walking for more than 30 years, walking and walking until the walls of the Daming Palace appeared in his eyes after the clouds and mist dissipated.

Under the wall of Pingkang Fangfang, Liu Yan stood in front of An Lao Hu'er's steaming stall, and Lao Hu'er's furnace car was gone.

"Where's the furnace car?" Liu Yan asked.

Lao Hu'er with a kind of calm sadness, said that the county government of Wannian County wanted to take him to Dingkou to Jingzhou City as a cart, but he didn't want to go, so he could only pawn the furnace car as a servitude.

Liu Yan didn't say much, in the past, he asked for four steamed beards a day for decades, but today due to difficult state affairs, he only needs two, steaming in his sleeves, and eating while riding a horse.

In front of the Xianche Workshop of Taifu Temple, the emperor's envoy appeared in front of him, saying that before the court meeting, he was impeached by the household department, the gold department, the warehouse department, and the imperial Shi Zhang.
