Li Jie, who pretended to be very successful, returned to the city triumphantly, Qin Fang and the others followed silently with a giant bow, no one spoke, Li Jie was right, his family knew his own affairs.

The Shence Army was the main force of the Central Northern Ya Forbidden Army in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. Originally the border army in the northwest, it later entered the Beijing division and became the most important forbidden army force of the Tang Dynasty, responsible for defending the Beijing division and the palace and major combat tasks, and was the main armed force directly controlled by the Tang Dynasty and the most important military pillar for the Tang Dynasty to maintain its rule.

It has been 149 years since the establishment of Geshuhan in the Mohuan River in the thirteenth year of Tianbao (754) to the official abolition in the third year of Tianfu (903).

The leadership of the Shence Army was in the hands of the eunuchs, so that the Shence Army had an extremely close connection with the eunuch group.

Since Tang Muzong, most of the sons of heaven who rely on the Shence Army have been subject to eunuchs. There were nine emperors after Muzong, among them, except for Jingzong and Emperor Wai, the rest were established by eunuchs.

The fundamental reason why the eunuch group was able to control the life, death, and abolition of the emperor was that they controlled the military power of the Shence Army and used the Shence Army as a tool to control the imperial power.

After Tang Muzong, the Shence army gradually became corrupt and its combat effectiveness declined. Moreover, under certain conditions, it became a pretext for certain feudal towns to launch rebellions.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the forces of the feudal towns repeatedly invaded the capital division, often with the slogan of cutting off the eunuchs, and at this time, most of the generals of the Shence army were involved in the eunuch group.

Since Mu Zong, the Shence army rarely went out to fight, and military discipline became increasingly corrupt. Its ordinary sergeants were not the border soldiers who were good at fighting back then, and most of them were the children of wealthy businessmen, and they were unbearable for a war.

During the Tang Dynasty, the Huangchao rebel army entered the pass, and the emperor fled south into Shu, and the Shence army was defeated or contained in the feudal town.

Later, the eunuch Tian Lingzi recruited 54 new troops, each with a thousand people, and the generals were divided. In the second year of Jingfu of Tang Zhaozong (893), Fengxiang Jiedu made Li Maozhen raise troops to attack Chang'an, Zhaozong

"Xifa 54th Army Tun Xingping, the army has collapsed, Maozhen forced the Beijing Division, Zhaozong for the beheading of Shence Lieutenant Ximen Chongsui and Li Zhou, is to lead away." In the second year of Tianfu (902), Xuanwu Jiedu made Zhu Quanzhong enter Guanzhong, defeated Li Maozhen in the following year, forced Zhaozong to kill more than 20 people including the great eunuch Han Quanxue, and merged the soldiers of the left and right armies of Shence into the six armies of Yulin, Longwu, and Shenwu.

"And the left and right armies of the gods were abolished", and the gods and the army were disbanded. After Qin Fang and the others were martial artists, although many of them also entered the civil official system later, they were still not allowed to be civil officials of the family and scientific examinations, and even the current military generals, plus the emperor was set aside by eunuchs, so their status as martial arts was an embarrassing existence in the imperial court.

This is also the reason why the Empress Li Mingli gave up after just a trial, but the martial artists kept testing him.

Back in the mansion, Qin Fang went straight to the study, told Qin Chong what happened today, and looked at the giant bow that Qin Fang put on the desk, Qin Chong pondered for a long time, looked up at Qin Fang and said

"Your Highness is right, we think we have hole cards. But the authorities are fascinated, in fact, we have nothing, and the little power in the army is at least not looked down on by His Highness. If it's not that His Highness has nothing to do, it's big, and I'm more inclined to the latter. His Highness knows what people don't know, and can do what people can't, and such a person can't be content with the status quo and be controlled by others. At least I'm sure we're not mistaken about anyone. We don't know what His Highness thinks, but it seems that His Highness has no intention of staying in Chang'an

“。 Qin Fang asked

"How did my father know?

Qin Chong thought for a moment and said

"From the time His Royal Highness left the palace, he refused to be courted by the family and left you immediately. In just a few days, it can be seen that His Highness seems to be not here.

Qin Fang arched his hand again

"What should the father, the child do?

Qin Chong shouted outside the door

"Someone

The housekeeper of the Qin Mansion ran in and bent down to salute

"Sir, what do you command?

“。 Qin Zhong said

"Take my prayer post and invite a few lords to come to the house at night

“。 The butler said yes and went out. Li Jie didn't care so much, and accompanied the two girls back to the house with big bags, and the nurse looked at Li Jie, who had a courteous face, helping Xing'er get out of the car, and said with a smile

"Alas! I don't know which of you two is the master and who is the slave

Xing'er was so ashamed that she lowered her head and didn't speak, and Li Jie just smirked when she stood next to her. Manniang naughtily stuck out her tongue at Li Jie and dragged Xing'er, who was blushing, and the two girls ran back to their house. Li Jie reacted at this time, he was furious, he meowed, this girl kidnapped Xing'er again, and no one spoke at night, the night was long! At this time, the nurse said to Li Jie

"Your Highness, come in for a moment, the nurse has something to say to you

“。 Li Jie reluctantly entered the house, looking at the nurse with a serious face, Li Jie asked

"I don't know what the nurse said

", said the nurse

"Since your mother gave birth to you and passed away, Your Highness has been personally taken care of by the concubine, and Your Highness has grown up now and has his own opinions on doing things, I have no opinion on you taking in Xue Liang's brothers and sisters, but what the concubine wants to ask is how you plan to treat the two of them."

Li Jie was a little baffled

"What do you mean, nurse

The nurse glared at Li Jie, and then said

"The concubine asked Manniang a few days ago, before her brother Xue Liang brought her to the capital, he occupied a cottage between Shanxi and Hebei, with thousands of people. Have you planned how you are going to use these people? Li Jie said, a few days ago, Xue Liangyi said that he just subconsciously gave Xue Liang a sum of silver, and didn't think too much.

Then the nurse said again

"Although the concubine doesn't know what His Highness is going to do, since we have someone outside, why don't we use it? But how can those people use it or not, have you considered it, Your Highness?

Li Jie was stunned and said

"I just took in his brother and sister at the time, and when it comes to those thousands of people, I just subconsciously went through a sum of money, but I haven't thought about these things, and the nurse taught me."

The nurse glared at him again and said

"The concubine knows that His Royal Highness likes Xing'er, but Manniang must also be His Highness's woman, only in this way will those people agree with His Highness's obedience to His Highness from the bottom of their hearts, in fact, His Highness has already planned to use these people, otherwise he would not give so much silver, but His Highness has not realized it yet, and if Manniang also becomes His Highness's woman, then these thousands of people are His Highness's people. Please consider it wisely, Your Highness

“。 Li Jie was silent. He knew he had to make a choice, he liked Xing'er very much, but he also knew that the nurse was right. Wait, what's wrong here, Li Jie asked the nurse

"Nanny, why do you say that Manniang must also be my woman

The nurse slapped him on the head

"Stupid, both of them can only be concubines for His Royal Highness." Li Jie laughed and smirked again, he meowed, I forgot that I am now in a feudal society, and a man can have three wives and four concubines!

I love feudal society to death! Wait, there's still something wrong

"Nurse, but I'm only thirteen years old this year, and I'm still underage!" Another slap on the head

"I'll do it for you next year!

Li Jie smirked and went back to sleep. Entered the house, there was still something wrong, and finally Li Jie was angry, he meowed, he will do all of them next year, the night is long, and he can't sleep alone! The night was getting deeper, and several middle-aged people in the study of the Qin Mansion came one after another and sat together. On the desk was the giant bow that Qin Fang brought back, and everyone looked at the giant bow and didn't speak, because what the princes said today was too shocking for them. After a while, Qin Zhong got up and said

"Today, all of you will go back and say it. Several princes and His Royal Highness have interacted several times, each time His Highness has a refreshing place, although the bow made by His Highness is crude but powerful, the cost is very small, and the requirements for soldiers are even lower, and His Royal Highness has excellent martial arts, and has unique opinions on everything" Several people nodded, and Qin Chong said again

"I wonder what a few people think?

A middle-aged man stood up, and Li Tang's father, Li Yi, spoke

"As His Royal Highness said, we do not have any hole cards, not only we don't have it, but even the whole family doesn't, His Royal Highness can do what people can't, everything has his own opinions, and His Royal Highness seems to be trying his best to avoid the family, but he doesn't seem to be too exclusive to us, so what I want to say is that since His Royal Highness doesn't look down on our hole cards, then we don't want hole cards. In the past, we were in the game, so we overestimated ourselves, but as His Highness said, the situation of our family and us in the court is actually very pitiful. We are already disliked by all parties, so I plan to do my best to convince the family, do my best to help His Highness achieve great things, and seek a bright future for my children and grandchildren. At this time, a black-faced man said

"Can Your Highness agree in our capacity? Will the one standing say yes? And you said that His Royal Highness is not here, and it seems that he wants to leave, but can the emperor agree? Will the one standing say yes? How will Your Highness leave, and how will we gain His Highness's trust

“。 Everyone was silent, and after a while, Qin Zhong got up and said

"Let all the children in the family withdraw from the army, quitting the army is exactly what the one who is standing is what he wants, so that he can arrange his own people, and then find a hidden place outside the city, gather all the children and elites in the hands of our family to hide and standby, and take three months to complete! Can't let that person be suspicious, when His Highness is ready to leave Beijing, I will do our best to help His Highness leave Beijing, all the children and elites will obey His Highness unconditionally, if the family can't follow, all retreat to the north for a while, if you take it, you must give it first, okay, you go and convince your respective families! And they all left, for the sake of their children and grandchildren, for the sake of the future of their families.

A lot of things changed that night, changed people, changed things, and changed the fate of many more people.

Many years later, the descendants of these families still revere their ancestors.
