The Qing emperors all implemented a servile policy, whether they were courtiers or slaves, they would humiliate them to show their superiority.

The courtiers have to kneel in the court, and they still have to kneel in the court, and kneeling in the face of the saint has become a necessary procedure. And there are many rules, and accidentally breaking the ban is a big crime of bullying the king.

Eunuchs are more lowly like ants, and cane killings are commonplace. And the emperor or the concubines need eunuchs on duty at night, at this time, if the master finds you asleep, you will be beaten violently if you are caught, and you will be killed.

This person has a biological clock, no matter how much you sleep during the day, you will be sleepy at night. So the eunuchs of the Qing court came up with a way to put a few prickly cangs on the soles of their shoes during the night shift, so as to prevent them from falling asleep while on duty.

After the Song Dynasty, the court rules gradually increased, and the Ming and Qing dynasties were still very strong.

Datang is different, except for formal occasions, or Li Ji overthrowing Zhu Wen, or when the courtiers spontaneously take the initiative to kneel down the mountain and shout long live, the courtiers do not need to kneel.

Even if you kneel, most of the time it is a spontaneous act of the ministers.

For the eunuchs in the palace, it is also very lenient, even laissez-faire. In particular, the eunuchs in the middle and late Tang Dynasty had huge power and directly influenced the abolition of the emperor.

And since Zhu Wen killed the eunuchs, this palace has been even more relaxed. In addition to wandering around Li Ji, Youwei didn't care about the behavior of the eunuchs at all.

And Fuquan's brain capacity is destined to be unable to control these eunuchs, not to mention Li Ji, he is a big and unruly person, and it is enough to have two dog legs around Youwei and Fuquan.

It's not that Li Ji doesn't want to talk about pomp, and he doesn't have a harem, so there are only dozens of eunuchs in the entire palace, and they are all honest and wooddoers. Li Ji didn't want to enslave these little eunuchs, and tried to give them some dignity as human beings.

Honest Muqu does not mean that he will not be lazy, so the eunuchs often sleep lazily when they are on night duty.

The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, and both of them are often lazy when they are both good and happy beside Li Ji, not to mention others. These dozens of eunuchs are probably the most comfortable people in the entire history of China, and this emperor is easy to serve.

The second palace gate outside the Ming'an Hall is guarded by the guards, and the guards protect the safety of the Son of Heaven, they dare not slack off, and the punishment is extremely severe once found.

Zhang Mao, the chief of the guard on duty, opened the palace gate and walked in with the guards along with Fan Yao and Linghu Yunlong.

Then Fan Yao and Linghu Yunlong saw such a picture, in the corridor outside the Ming'an Palace, four little eunuchs were sitting at the door and falling asleep, and one of them was snoring melodiously.

Fan Yao was angry, and went up to give a few people a kick: "You are so bold!" The Son of Heaven is sleeping, you are not good at serving, you dare to sleep, do you feel that you are impatient to live! ”

A few little eunuchs got up in a daze, and when they saw that it was a bad handsome, they were so frightened that they hurriedly begged for mercy: "The slave should die, the slave should die."

"Go and tell Your Majesty, there are 100,000 urgent matters."

The bad handsome is a diehard loyalist of the emperor, even if he is a diehard loyalist, when he enters the palace late at night and enters the gate of the Ming'an Palace, he has to be accompanied by guards Zhang Mao and others in case of accidents.

And outside the hall, Fan Yao must not trespass. can only wait for the eunuch to go in to make a report, and Li Ji agrees to summon him, so that Fan Yao can go in.

The eunuch on duty nodded in a panic and agreed, pushed away the Ming'an Palace, and broke in, while Fan Yao, Zhang Mao and others waited outside.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The eunuch on duty screamed anxiously, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart. The Son of Heaven slept soundly in the middle of the night, and if he woke him up, he was afraid that he would be angry and angry with himself, but he didn't dare not scream.

Li Jizheng dreamed that he was peeing on Zhu Wen's head, and suddenly woke up: "What happened?"

Youwei also woke up, but Fuquan was still asleep.

"The bad marshal asked to see him outside the palace, saying that there were 100,000 urgent matters." The little eunuch said softly.

"Let him in!" Although Li Ji is not a good emperor, he really does not dare to slack off on government affairs. This extraordinary period of the Tang Dynasty is not the time to enjoy happiness.

Fan Yao's late-night visit must be a major state event.

The eunuch left in response, and after a while, Zhang Mao walked in with someone to accompany Fan Yao and Linghu Yunlong.

Li Ji waved his hand, and Zhang Mao withdrew with his subordinates.

Li Ji asked urgently: "Fan Yao, what's wrong?"

Fan Yao's face was heavy, and he arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Jiangling Zhu Youwen wants to send troops to war."

"What!" Li Ji was startled: "Promising, palm lamp!"

Youwei kicked Fuquan awake, went over to light the fuel lamp, and put away the poker on the table.

"Map!"

Fuquan also woke up, and he hurriedly took the map from the bookshelf next to him and unfolded it on the table.

"When you received the news, tell me in detail." Li Ji stared at the map on the table, it seemed that he had been prepared for such a day.

Next to Linghu Yunlong's heart is a little calm, although this son of heaven is young. can seem to be resolute, although he is not flustered when encountering major events, he has the temperament of a wise man.

Fan Yao couldn't get up at ease: "The minister just received a letter from Jiangling, and Zhu Youwen wants to unite Zhu Youzi, the Xuanwu Army of Dengzhou, Xiangzhou, and Zhu Youyong, the loyal army of Tangzhou, to enter Luoyang together."

Li Ji looked at the signs on the map, it was not surprising that these two people were willing to join forces with Zhu Youwen. After all, they were on the same line of attack, and he was worried about something else: "What is the movement of the rest of Zhu Wen's sons?"

"For the time being, we have not received joint actions from other armies, and Zhu Youqi and others have made it clear that they will not participate, and they should be sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight."

Hearing Fan Yao say this, Li Ji breathed a long sigh of relief: "Is the news reliable?"

Fan Yao nodded: "Reliable."

Since Fan Yao said that it was reliable, it must be a real hammer. Li Ji was most worried about the joint counterattack of the surrounding Zhu Wen forces, and now it seems that it is similar to what was expected, and Zhu Wen's waste sons are not willing to participate: "Since there are only these three roads, it is necessary to quickly transfer the military headquarters of Gejia in Bianzhou to help the direction of Yique County."

Fan Yao shook his head again: "I'm afraid not, Your Majesty, Wei Bojiedu has promised Zhu Youwen to launch an attack on Bianzhou." Once Wei Bo's army attacked Bianzhou, he was afraid that the Ge family army would have no time to look west. ”

Li Ji gasped: "Okay, you Zhu Youwen, I originally wanted to play with me." When do they get their hands dirty? ”

The army did not move, and the grain and grass went first. Zhu Youwen wanted to mobilize so many soldiers and horses, it was impossible for him to be so fast all at once, he needed time.

"The eighth day of next month." Fan Yao said.

Throughout the ages, in any dynasty, including modern times, intelligence has always been the most critical factor in the outcome of a war.

There have been countless wars in history that have been defeated by intelligence leaks, and the bad guys have really helped Li Ji a lot.

Since Tang Xizong disbanded the bad guys, although the bad guys are dormant, they have been secretly probing for information from all sides.

Li Shimin is worthy of being the first emperor of the ages, and his far-sighted gaze makes Li Ji admire the five bodies to the ground. Li Shimin knew that there was no immortal dynasty, so the initial purpose of his establishment of bad people was to lurk in various armies to spy on intelligence.

From Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty to Zhu Youzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, they all slaughtered the generals after sitting on the throne.

On the other hand, in the Tang Dynasty, the founding heroes often have to die well. It is Li Shimin who has placed detailed works in the leading forces of each general, and once the other party has different intentions, he can know it.
