On the 29th day of the first month of the first year of Yuanhe, Zuo Shence Xingying Jiedu made Gao Chongwen personally lead 5,000 tigers and wolves to send troops to Xiegu, and 2,000 elites led by Li Yuanyi of the Shence Jingxi Battalion were sent by Luogu.

When the three armies were encircled, what was Liu Bi doing? The answer is ridiculous, because he is building a house, specifically, building Wufu Building. Like many people at that time, Liu Pi believed in science very much, but in the eyes of modern people, the science he believed in was not science at all, but feudal superstition. At the beginning, Liu Pi entered Beijing to participate in the imperial examination, "the spring breeze is proud, and he sees all the Chang'an flowers in one day", he still did not forget to find a fortune teller and ask about his official fortune, it is said that the fortune teller he found is called Hulu Sheng, the most famous diviner in Chang'an and even the entire empire. Hulusheng told him that "since then 20 years, Lu is in the southwest, but he will not die well", and then Liu Pi really came to the Xichuan Festival under the tent of Wei Gao, all the way to the scenery, the official to the imperial history of the military Sima, and enjoyed the blessings of 20 years in a down-to-earth manner.

Twenty years later, during the Yongzhen period, Liu Pi came to Chang'an again to seek Sanchuan for Wei Gao, but was scolded by Wang Shuwen and threatened to make him look good. Liu Bi, who was very inward-looking, was scared, and suddenly remembered the hexagram twenty years ago, which was very spiritual, and the spirit was chilling: "Since then, twenty years ago, Lu has been in the southwest" one by one, it is really spiritual! It's a pity that twenty years of Qingfu have been enjoyed, but not enough, and it will be time to "not die well" in the blink of an eye. Thinking of this, Liu Bi couldn't sit still anymore, and ran to Hulusheng in a hurry, begging him to calculate another hexagram. As a result, he shuddered, because the hexagram said: "Disaster is coming!" Although Liu Pi tried his best to comfort himself, he couldn't believe it, but he was still uneasy, so he fled back to Xichuan in a hurry.

After Wei Gao's death, Liu Pi successfully sat on the throne of the envoy of the Xichuan Festival, but that ominous prophecy always lingered in his heart and lingered, so Liu Pi found another Yin and Yang family to pray for him. The Yin and Yang family said to him that the Five Blessings Taiyi has come to Xishu, which will bring you great blessings, and all disasters will be far away from you. Listening to the words of the Yin and Yang family, Liu Pi was overjoyed, and hurriedly sent someone to build a Wufu Tower overnight to commemorate this event. In order to deal with Gao Chongwen's crusading army, Liu Pi's other countermeasure was to build a house: build Lutou Pass, connect eight fences together, and put 10,000 elite soldiers, and the matter will be done. The naïve Liu Pi thought that with the protection of Wufu Taiyi and the dangerous terrain of Xichuan, Gao Chongwen's army would definitely be able to return in vain.

When the war ahead was in full swing, Li Chun summoned Prime Minister Du Huangshang alone in Zichen Hall to discuss the issue of feudal towns with him. Du Huang dressed up in his chest and talked eloquently: "Since Dezong went through the troubles of Zhu Zhu's rebellion, he has always been unprincipled and tolerant of the feudal towns, and refused to remove them from their duties during the lifetime of the Jiedu envoys. Sometimes, when the envoy accepted bribes from the generals without permission and praised him in the court, Dezong immediately removed the person as the envoy of the festival, and there was no example of the appointment of the envoy from the original intention of the imperial court. If Your Majesty is going to restore the law and order, he should gradually weaken and restrain the feudal towns according to the system of laws and regulations, so that the world can be governed. Li Chun nodded frequently, quite interested.

"I heard that before leaving the school, Gao Chongwen made a special trip to visit you?" Li Chun changed the topic with a smile.

"Yes, Gao Chongwen asked me for advice on the strategy of Pingshu", a trace of surprise and uneasiness flowed from the corners of Du Huangshang's eyes.

"I want to hear the details", Li Chun didn't seem to see the subtle emotional changes of Du Huangsheng, but was quite interested in his Pingshu strategy.

"It's just people's hearts", Du Huangshang obviously didn't want to say more.

"I heard that Gao Chongwen's army was on the way. At the guest house, someone broke the host's chopsticks, and Gao Chongwen beheaded the person to show the public. It turns out that it is for the word 'human heart'"!

Du Huangshang is not a person who is greedy for merit, Li Chun knows this very well, and continues to ask with a smile: "I also heard that on the day the army set off, you specially sent someone to catch up with Gao Chongwen, what happened?" ”

"I asked people to say to him, 'If you don't work hard, you should replace him with Liu Shu.'" Du Huangshang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied.

"Oh, why?" Li Chun was interested and asked.

Du Huangshang smiled, "Because Gao Chongwen is most afraid of Liu Shu."

"Wonderful, wonderful", Li Chun laughed.

Cautiously exiting the Zichen Palace, Du Huangshang finally let out a long breath, although Du Huangshang had great expectations for this young emperor, but only at this time, he realized that he still underestimated this young and vigorous emperor. Talented, unashamed to ask, ambitious, relaxed, of course, what is more terrifying is his well-informed ears and eyes. In front of this young emperor, his subordinates have almost no secrets to speak of. It seems that my little secret should not be a secret to the emperor. The Tang Empire has such a heavenly son, and ZTE is hopeful. However, I am afraid that my time in this position is also short. But as long as I stay in this position for one day, I will certainly do my best to assist Your Majesty in his great work.

Looking at Du Huangshang's back gradually disappearing, Li Chun in the Zichen Hall sighed softly and muttered to himself: "It's a pity, it's a pity......"
