Chapter 1 Chang'an Fengyun I

Chang'an, which has been eight years of martial arts, has been turbulent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
A lot has happened in the last four years. But when you think about it, it seems that nothing has happened in the past four years.
In the fourth year of Wude, Jiangnan was pacified.
After the Liang Xiao Mill perished, the Xiao Sui court went away to the South Seas.
Lingnan Feng Ang announced his annexation, and Fang Xuanling surrendered in Hongzhou...... The vigorous war at the end of the Sui Dynasty disappeared in just four years. The death of the princes from all walks of life, the surrender of the descendants, Li Tang Jiangshan overnight, became as stable as Mount Tai.
In the country, the abandoned land has been cultivated again.
After learning from Li Yanqing's rent adjustment law in Xingyang County, Li Yuan finally made up his mind and began to implement it throughout the country.
After two years of adjustment, Li Tang Jiangshan presented a thriving scene.
Abroad, at the end of the fourth year of Mudeok, Silla joined forces with Baekje and decided to destroy Goguryeo, which had been called the twilight of the Western Mountains. Goguryeo, in the battle between Won Taejo and Eulji Bundeok, has long since lost its prosperity. After the three conquests of Goguryeo by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, although the Sui dynasty was turbulent, Goguryeo itself was also greatly damaged. In desperation, Yuan Taizuo asked for help from the Tata.
In any case, although the Goguryeo people were separated, they were always a branch of the Tatar people.
After receiving Yuan Taizuo's request for help, the people immediately prepared their troops and horses and prepared to send troops to help. Unexpectedly, Du Ruhui suddenly attacked at this time, and ordered Luo Shixin and Liu Heimin to divide into two ways and launch an attack on the Yan people. Li Yuan did not have much affection for the three countries on the Korean Peninsula...... Although the defeat of the Three Expeditions to Goguryeo belonged to Yang Guang, it was also unacceptable to Li Yuan, who was born in the Guanlong aristocracy. In the fifth year of Wude, Li Yuan ordered Xu Shiji, the governor of Luzhou, to serve as the governor of Youzhou, under the jurisdiction of six states, and joined forces with Du Ruhui to attack. At the same time, Xin Wenli, the governor of Youzhou, was transferred to Jiangnan and served as the governor of Jingzhou.
This seems to be an ordinary transfer, but it hides endless mysteries.
After Xu Shiji arrived in Youzhou, he immediately began to attack the Tatar people...... At the same time, Li Yuan also worshiped Du Ruhui to comfort Liaodong and practiced the technique of tenderness on Goguryeo. In the sixth year of Wudeok, Du Ruhui reached an agreement with Eulji Wendeok, and Goguryeo ceded the land of the three cities east of Yalu River in order to obtain material assistance from Li Tang to resist the conquest of Silla and Baekje.
Subsequently, Li Yuan ordered Du Ruhui to set up the Anton Governor's Mansion in Liaodong, and Du Ruhui immediately became the first governor.
In March of the same year, the slang people of the wingman department were destroyed, and Ning Xuan, the son of Ning Changzhen, was killed. The soldiers and horses that eliminated the wingmen were not under the rule of Li Tang. This army of soldiers and horses and dragoons is composed of slang people scattered all over Lingnan. However, they were hired by Li Yanqing to send troops to recruit their wingmen. Then, without waiting for Chang'an to react, this dragoon pursued across the border and went straight to Zhenla.
At the end of the sixth year of Wude, the rebels of Zhenla were destroyed, and the lord of Zhenla sent his son north to Chang'an, handed over his credentials, and wished to surrender forever.
The dragoons did not return to Lingnan, but were stationed in the capital of the king of Chenla, Wendan City.
Externally, the lord of the Zhenla Kingdom declared that the Dragoons were hired by him to take over the defense of the entire Zhenla Kingdom; Internally, the Dragoon Army began to expand aggressively, and in just one year, the Dragoon Army had nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses, becoming the largest military force in Zhenla.
But where did this dragoon army come from?
Chang'an, however, was at a loss...... They only knew that the leader of the dragoon army was named Du, but his deputy was Du Fuwei, a bandit who ravaged Jianghuai during the Xiao Sui period.
After Li Yuan and the courtiers deliberated, they finally made a decision.
The Imperial Decree Li Yanqing, the Governor of Annam, reestablished the Governor's Office of Annam, but expanded his rule from the earlier 54 prefectures and counties to 118 prefectures and counties. In addition to the post of Governor of Annan, Li Yanqing was worshiped as the general of Zhennan, the general of Qilin, the governor of Lingnan military affairs, the false festival, the opening of the palace with the three divisions, the three grades below, can be cut first and then played.
This edict is tantamount to recognizing Li Yanqing's status in the Lingnan region and even the entire Yunnan-Guizhou region.
The entire Lingnan Province was under the jurisdiction of Li Yanqing, including the eight states under Feng An's rule, and they were also included in Li Yanqing's hands.
For a time, although Li Yanqing was far away in Lingnan, his name as the king of Lingnan was spread in the streets and alleys of Luoyang, Chang'an.
Although it is not as good as Li Jiancheng's crown prince, it is not as good as Li Shimin's Shangshu Ling, Admiral Tiance.
But above Li Tang Dynasty, Li Yanqing is faintly on par with Li Xuanba, the governor of Lingzhou, and even above the royal families......ββββββββββββββββββββββββ everything seems to be so beautiful!
If it weren't for the incident that happened in the seventh year of Wude, people might have forgotten what is called the truth that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.
In May of the seventh year of Wude, Li Yuan went to Yuhua Mountain to recuperate, and Chang'an stayed with the prince to supervise the country.
In fact, Li Yuan was very satisfied with the crown prince.
Li Jiancheng's surname is gentle and mellow, has the style of an elder, and handles things in a clear manner, and the court appreciates Li Jiancheng a lot.
However, at this time, a shocking news spread from Chang'an to Yuhua Mountain in the north of Tongchuan County.
This Yuhua Mountain, the terrain is steep, and it is a key place connecting the north and south of Guanzhong.
And the palace of the Tang Emperor to cool off - Renzhi Palace, is located in this Yuhua Mountain.
The palace is built on the mountainside, and its layout and decoration are not gorgeous. The palace walls are made of heavy stones, and they are densely covered with various arrow towers and battlements. It is said that the construction time of this Renzhi Palace is only a month, but the food in the warehouse in the palace is enough for tens of thousands of people to eat for half a year. Therefore, it is more appropriate to say that Ninchi Palace is not so much a palace as a fortress.
Seven years have passed, and Li Yuan has shown a bit of old age.
Originally, because of his health, he came to this Renzhi Palace to recuperate, but he didn't want such a thing to happen while he was recuperating.
"Yang Wengan, do you want to do the opposite?"
Li Yuan gasped, and his face showed a solemn expression.
Inji Palace is located in Tongcheon County, which in turn is located in Gyeongju...... is good to die, this Yang Wengan is the head of the soldiers and horses in Gyeongju, and he also serves as the leader of the history of Gyeongju. In other words, if Yang Wengan rebelled, Renzhi Palace would bear the brunt.
The Gyeongju Governor's Office is located in the festival of Qingyang, which is only 60 miles away from Tongchuan County.
What is the concept of sixty miles?
From the gate of the governor's palace, you can ride a horse and hurry, and you can reach the gate of Renzhi Palace in three and a half hours at the earliest.
And Yang Wengan, who holds the soldiers and horses of Gyeongju, is the most important thing to lack is horses. Renzhi Palace only garrisoned soldiers and horses in the three mansions, with a total of 3,600 people, and it was indeed a little dangerous to resist Yang Wengan. However, Li Yuan was also the emperor immediately after all, so he was not worried about this.
What he was really worried about was, was it true or not?
If it is true, then what role does the crown prince Li Jiancheng play in it?
Because, this Yang Wengan is Li Jiancheng's person...... What made Li Yuan feel most uneasy was that the person who reported this matter turned out to be the one written by the East Palace. Among the six rates of the East Palace, there are two lower-level military attachΓ©s, one named Qiao Gongshan and the other named Er Wenhuan. The two of them were originally ordered by Wei Ting, the left guard of the East Palace, to transport a batch of armor weapons for Yang Wengan. But they didn't expect these two people to change their route halfway, and they actually ran to Renzhi Palace to play a report.
After Li Yuan learned the news, he couldn't believe that this was the truth...... On the fifth day of the sixth month, Li Yuan sent Pegasus back to Chang'an. Three days later, Li Jiancheng appeared in Renzhi Palace with a pale face.
What happened in those three days?
No one knows...... In short, there is no need for intrigue and deceit.
On the ninth day of the first month, Li Yuan ordered Yu Wenying, the Qing of Sinong Temple, to go to Qingyang to recruit Yang Wengan, but the result was that this Yu Wenying never returned, as if the world had evaporated.
By June 24, rumors were increasing.
What surprised Li Yuan even more was that Yang Wengan finally rebelled in Qingyang...... What's more, Yang Wengan also attacked Ningzhou, which is adjacent to Gyeongju, claiming that there is no way in the present, and the prince Mingde, and put forward the slogan of 'punishing the king of Qin, the side of the Qing monarch'...... It is said that in the history of Jingzhou's assassination, Li Yi, the general of Zuo Yiwei, has publicly responded...... It is said that the bunch of assassins in the Shandong region appointed by the prince the year before last are all ready to move.
It is said that even the Governor of Annan, the General of Zhennan, the General of Qilin, and Li Yanqing, the King of Henan, are also a little uneasy...... But as soon as this news came out, Li Yuan was not afraid!
He is indeed a little jealous of Li Yanqing, but if Li Yanqing will rebel? He would never believe it.
Li Yanqing is a smart man, and he is far away in Lingnan...... If he really wanted to rebel, then the old departments in Youzhou, Liaodong, and Jingxiang would have already raised troops. Once Li Yanqing's old ministry takes action, how can the world be so peaceful?
Li Yanqing did not rebel, which shows that things are not as complicated as imagined.
As a top priority, Li Yuan must calm the turmoil in Guanzhong.
You must know that although the order of Renzhi Palace is barely there, people's hearts have become more and more uneasy.
With Yang Wengan's troops sent out to Baijiabao, less than twenty miles away from Yuhua Mountain, Li Yuan finally made a final decision.
"Summoning the King of Qin to meet you!"
