"Ma Wei Yanliu is clinging, and he sees Luan Yu fortunate to return.

Quanxia Aman should have a saying, this time Hugh is more wronged by Concubine Yang. ”

Late Tang Dynasty poet Luo Yin's "Emperor Xingshu":

- I'm the dividing line -

Later, at the Lutou Guanzhong Post House, Gao Renhou saw a person who had been waiting here for a long time. Zhang Jun, who was dressed as a soldier, and was a scholar of the military department, immediately asked loudly without avoiding suspicion:

"Dare to ask questions, private kindness can be heavier than the righteousness of the country, and private righteousness can be greater than the law of the country."

And more than two hundred miles away, it is already in the devastated Xishan Garden. Gu Yanlang, the soldier and horse envoy of the Tiande Army who was on duty in the escort army, and the brother Gu Yanhui, the general, were also carefully guarding the surroundings.

Because most of the Qiang soldiers who raged for a few days had been collected by Chen Jingxuan, the commander of the Xichuan Festival who held the edict and proclaimed the appeasement, but there were still a small number of remnants who were greedy for prosperity and refused to return, and they were divided into small units to continue to cause chaos in the township.

Therefore, looking out from here, in the gray wilderness outside Chengdu, there is still no lack of faintly rising pillars of fine smoke; It means that there are still people who continue to suffer.

In fact, many of the families who were spared when the Dongchuan army attacked were completely unable to escape the harm of the Uyghur and Maoqiang soldiers this time. Even if it is the garden under the name of the Son of Heaven and the mansion of the minister, it is an inevitable result.

What is even more disgusting is that these barbaric Qiang soldiers not only plundered everything they could see, but even scraped off the gold paint and carvings on the halls and pavilions, and recklessly left many "souvenirs" that people were afraid of or avoided.

And Li Huan, who was dressed in his usual purple clothes and pale and melancholy, was also on the ruins of the pavilion tower that had been burned down, looking at the skyline in the distant wilderness, as if waiting for some kind of result and response. And his half-brother Shouwang Li Jie stood behind him with a deferential expression.

After all, he is no longer the young son of heaven who was in the Xuanzheng Palace, and when he heard Jingzhao Yin Yang Zhizhi say that "locusts are afraid of power, if they don't enter Gyeonggi, they will all die with thorns", and he will smile in court, and in the past few years, he has gradually gained his own ideas and observation.

Although there are still many things that avoid him in today's line of action, what he has seen and heard and repeatedly changed since he entered Shu is enough to make people realize that the way of the world in the mouths of the courtiers and close servants around him is still far from the real world, and even contrary to the result.

But what made him the most angry and sad and disappointed in all this was that Tian Gong, who had always relied on his father and gave him full trust, was also trying to fool and deceive himself.

To tell the truth, from the moment when many eunuchs were supported by the first emperor in front of the Daxingzi Palace; He only felt extremely lonely, sensitive and fragile, so he was completely unprepared to take on the heavy responsibility of the great family as the son of the Tang Dynasty, and would rather indulge in the fields he loves and is good at, and as a means of escape and hiding.

Therefore, he can tolerate the careful coping methods of others who report good news but not bad news, and he does not mind those trivialized reports and replies; I don't even care how much benefit the other party can use the authority and name he has paid to collect benefits for himself, and how many dissidents he denounces or eliminates the wrong way.

As long as he can continue to have fun without any worries, these are inconsequential subsections. Even if it was the servant Shi Wild Boar he liked, he took the opportunity to admonish in person, mockingly, and said, "If Yao Shun is the main exam, it should fall to Your Majesty." You can also laugh it off and make a little diligent appearance.

Because this is the price he must pay if he wants to play and play as he pleases. And he only needs to use a little bit of thought to maintain the situation in the court in the advice and advice of the courtiers year after year.

But suddenly everything changed. Lingnan, which had long been paying tribute to foreign treasures, fell, Hunan and Jingnan, which were rich in tea and fruits, and silk cloth, were lost one after another, and Jiangdong, which provided a large amount of wealth and grain for the imperial court, was completely chaotic, and the profits of salt and rice from the imperial court were intercepted and did not listen to orders.

After the first battle of Surabaya, the grass thieves drove all the way into the eastern part of the country, and the eastern capital and quite Tongguan, the towns that still had spare strength were all watched from the wall, and they watched the thieves come to Xijing. It's as if all the heavens of the world have become corrupt and out of control.

He also cheered up from his heart, and cooperated with the prime minister Zheng Jin, who saved the time, and tried to make some measures to redeem himself; But he still couldn't resist the persuasion and scurrying of his familiar and trusted father, and at the last moment, he left the soldiers and civilians of Manjing to avoid Xingshu.

Now when he dreams back at midnight, he thinks of most of the concubines, palace servants, clan relatives, civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and millions of people in the capital who have fallen into the hands of thieves; I still can't help but feel guilty and indebted. also began to tremble with a trace of doubt and resentment towards Father Tian, who obeyed everything.

It's just that I endured all the hardships and hardships along the way, and after arriving in Shudi, I haven't been able to live in peace for a few days, and all kinds of chaos have followed. First, Guo Qi, the military envoy of the Huangtou Army, was dissatisfied with the Tian clan and tried to rob the driver, and then there were Qiongzhou (now Qionglai, Sichuan) Qianneng, Shu Luo Hunqing, Juhu Seng, Luo Fuzi, Han Qiu was in chaos one after another, and Fuzhou assassinated Han Shengxiu, subordinated to the line and cut off the Xiajiang River. . .

Although everyone at the time said that the sin was in the Tian clan and began to be chaotic with Lu (carrying). But he also knew very well in his heart, did all this have nothing to do with him, the son of the Tang Dynasty, who was resting together. Even after liquidating the Tian family, where can there be a more effective and obedient substitute, so that he can continue to worry about the future.

Do you want to sit in the cabinet most of the time, and you have to personally handle every internal and external government affairs? Not to mention that there is also Chen Jingxuan in Xichuan Festival Town, who holds heavy troops and is cited as the inside and out. Once he makes a rash move, he will be in the soup again when he is finally in peace and has recovered from the amusement.

Therefore, he can only secretly pacify the left and right, and the other side intensifies to meet and encircle those military generals on the near side. Even if the Tian clan secretly cut down the extent of Xingzai, whether it was privately promoting the reconstruction of the new army of Shence, or seeking Dongchuan Yi Shuai, it was up to him to go, as long as he could maintain the current situation.

But, apparently, even what he asked for had become a luxury. The repeated Xichuan rebellion was calmed down under Gao Renhou's hands, but it ushered in the Taiping thieves far away in Hunan to take advantage of the situation and enter the Xiajiang states, cutting off the source of salt profits and salt goods in Shu.

Later, Dongchuan Yang Shili raised troops to rebel again, defeated all the escorts and drove Wang Shi and coerced him. At this moment, he really felt a certain precarious panic and an unavoidable panic in his heart in front of the armor under the city.

He may not care about the Tian brothers' deeds in the face of the enemy's pressing army, and they left the battle to borrow troops from Yazhou without telling them. But what is even more disappointing is that the Tian brothers rushed ahead of the line and welcomed several other kings into their annex.

This is the biggest betrayal and blow to Tang Xizong, who has not been valued by others since he was a child, and has not received any teaching to control and govern the world, but since he succeeded to the throne at the age of 12, he has to face the treachery and scheming of the people. After all, people will always grow, and there will be opportunities to see the cruel side of the world.

And several of his concubines, as well as the young two sons (King Jianwang and King Yi) and two daughters (Tang Xing and Yongping), were all lost in Chang'an City, but I am afraid that it has already been unexpected. There is only one Xiao Mengcai left around who has not yet come out, which also means that he has the possibility of being an heir.

He didn't even have much confidence and conviction that if he was no longer the son of the Tang Dynasty, he would have no successor; The Tian Gong, who has always been kind and reliable, can still serve and do everything as respectfully and diligently as he did when he was still the king of Pu.

He considers himself a man who values love and righteousness and cares about the old. Song Wei, the envoy of the Pinglu Festival of that year, first falsely reported the military situation and lied that he had killed the thief leader Wang Xianzhi and offered the victory to the court; So that the court was the laughing stock of the world for a while. Later, he secretly intercepted and killed Shang Junchang, a cronie sent by the king thief to the eastern capital to ask for surrender and seek officials, and reported the beheading.

As a result, the great cause of suppressing thieves in the Central Plains has made waves and repetitions again, and Huang Reverse has come to the fore. But he didn't say anything about the other party from time to time, but just ordered to take over the post and reflect at home.

But once the trust that has been maintained for many years deteriorates, it will only turn into increased suspicion and speculation. For example, once something happens to you this time, has the other party started to look for potential alternatives?

Could it be the imperial brother Li Bao, who is full of poetry and books, or Li Yi, the youngest and most ignorant of things? All kinds of suspicious thoughts, like poisonous juice that was constantly stirred and brewed, churned between his bosom and made people suffer.

Therefore, he can only use the practice of traveling to temporarily avoid the Tian brothers, who have now regained their power by defeating Yang Shili, and may be all over the city, the eyeliner and henchmen who are all over the city, and he will have room for a moment of purity and secret action.

- I'm the dividing line -

In Gangneung City, with the first rays of light in the sky of the new year and the new year, gradually passing through the still burning fire towers and lampposts, and gradually ending the night of the New Year's vigil; The huge performance stage outside the inner door finally ushered in the moment of cooling.

But this is only a temporary break and recuperation. As the sun rises and the venue is re-packed, there will be more new performances on it; And the supply and marketing cooperatives affiliated to the Taiping Shengku brought abundant new goods, and set up various New Year stalls around them, and opened up the city to the public to watch and visit.

Moreover, this kind of Spring Festival market and performance activities with the characteristics of the Taiping Army will last for a full five days before it ends. Of course, most of the out-of-town groups that are called to perform can also give up the rest time and voluntarily join in exchange for the same generous remuneration.

The one-day remuneration they came to perform this time is worth more than ten days on weekdays; Those who go back can also carry local goods for the Chinese New Year market on the same ship. Therefore, I am willing to take advantage of this excuse to work tirelessly to earn more.

And some of these outstanding groups are said to be able to be used as a reference by the Grand Governor, and even to be appraised or not; It is even rumored that if the governor is in a good mood, he may even give a special poem, which means that the corresponding group and team have changed and become famous.

And in the inner house of the Governor's Mansion, when Hong Yao'er carried two yawning but reluctant little white hairs, each carrying the disgusting money (New Year's money) in the bag, and the other hand dragged the four-legged bear wolf dog and the struggling crisp noodles, after separating and leaving.

The atmosphere present suddenly became particularly ambiguous and charming. So it was the turn of the adults to play, and I don't know who took the lead to raise the fighting spirit first, and then the others were not to be outdone. Immediately, it makes people feel the taste of "a handful of heat in winter".

It's a pity that today's Zhou Huai'an is not what it used to be, so even if he takes advantage of the excitement of the New Year, let my aunt and Cui Wanting go on a wheel battle together, they will inevitably lose their armor or kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.
