readx; At present, there are two major systems of the army stationed in Chang'an, Chang'an people call it the two armies of the north and the south, and the northern army refers to the Yulin army system, including 20,000 Yulin troops and 10,000 cavalry battalions, all of which are commanded by the general of the Yulin army, Changsun Quanxu, and are generally stationed in the imperial city and the west inner garden, responsible for protecting the security of the imperial city and the palace city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The southern army refers to Jin Wuwei and the newly established Guanzhong Army, Jin Wuwei has 10,000 people, stationed outside the Suzaku Gate, responsible for patrolling the neighborhoods of Chang'an, and the Guanzhong Army has 80,000 people, stationed in the three large camps outside the southern city of Chang'an, so it is called the Southern Army, in addition to the outer defense of Chang'an, the Southern Army is also responsible for the various gates of Chang'an, because the Guanzhong Army is commanded by the current Jin Wuwei general Meng Yun, so Jin Wuwei is also incorporated into the southern army system.

But whether it is the southern army or the northern army, they are all under the direct jurisdiction of Li Yu, the son of heaven, and they are transferred with Li Yu's warrant and gold medal.

Just half a day after Li Yu left Chang'an, the Chang'an Southern Army also had a change, and 50,000 Southern troops left the barracks and rushed towards Weinan County under the leadership of Meng Yun.

In the crisis of the last two months, 80,000 people were transferred to Tongguan to garrison, under the command of Wang Sili, the commander of Tongguan Marshal Wang Sili, while Meng Yun and Luo Zhengyi led 100,000 people to Hanzhong to confront the Jingzhou army, but because Wang Heng used a counter-strategy, forced the Jingzhou army to retreat to Xiangyang, and after leaving 20,000 troops to guard the Meridian Valley and other important passes, Meng Yun and Luo Zhengyi led 80,000 troops back to Chang'an to protect the safety of Chang'an, and they returned to Chang'an for only ten days. The Southern Army moved again.

Although the Southern Army is stationed outside the city, its departure is difficult for ordinary people to detect, but for some sensitive people on the edge of the storm, the sudden departure of the Southern Army still aroused their vigilance, because the situation is unclear, all kinds of speculation quietly arises, one of the most puzzling points is that the Holy Lord is obviously personally guarded by the eldest grandson Quanxu, even if he wants to increase the number of troops to guard, he should also add the Yulin Army, and the transfer of the Southern Army to Weinan seems unreasonable and unusual.

Xingqing Palace, Li Longji is also in a state of tension and uneasiness, since the defeat of the Anxi army Fan Yang Army, Li Longji has been silent, especially the Jiannan Army and suddenly withdrew back to Hanzhong, which caught Li Longji off guard, he was both angry and afraid, he knew that once Li Qing'an entered Beijing, he Li Longji would be trapped in the palace, just like the eldest son Qingwang Li Cong, so far life and death are unknown, almost everyone has forgotten him, he Li Longji will also be forgotten, realizing this, Li Longji began to protect himself, There was only one way for him to protect himself, to flee Chang'an.

At present, there are a total of 2,000 troops besieging Xingqing Palace, respectively from the southern army and the northern army, Li Yu's original intention was to let them go their own ways and supervise each other, but he never imagined that the leaders of the two armies were bought by Li Longji Xu with high-ranking officials, and in the Xingqing Palace, Li Longji was urgently receiving Wang Fu, the general of the southern army.

"The Emperor, General Meng left suddenly, resulting in a shortage of troops in the outer city, the humble post will be transferred to the outside of the city tonight, and then there will be a Yulin army to take over the humble defense, if the emperor wants to leave Chang'an, tonight is the only chance, and the last chance, please decide."

Li Longji's heart was in a mess, he had no intention of thinking about why Meng Yun left suddenly, there were only two choices in his heart, to go or not to go, from his original intention, he didn't want to go, he was one step away from the throne, his heart would be desperate, but he knew very well that if he didn't go, he would only be farther away from the throne, which was a very tangled decision.

"When are you leaving?"

"The lowly will leave in an hour, and if your majesty wants to leave, you can change into a military uniform and go out of the city in the army, and take advantage of the darkness to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"Oh well! Let me think again, you can prepare a few more uniforms. ”

"Yes! Humble and prepared. ”

Zhonglang left Wang Fu, Li Longji was upset, he thought for a long time, but he couldn't make up his mind, so he turned around and asked Gao Lishi, who had been silent: "Gao Weng, do you say I should go or not?" ”

"Emperor, the old slave can only represent personal opinions." Colliers said slowly.

"I know, just say it!" Li Longji said impatiently.

"Your Majesty, the old slave means to stay in Chang'an."

"Stay? Why? ”

Gao Lishi's idea was far from Li Longji, which made him stunned for a while, Gao Lishi said slowly: "The emperor is already old, it should be to take care of his life, cultivate his surname, and seek the method of longevity, and he should not fight for those empty rights, the emperor stays in Chang'an, as long as he does not ask about political affairs, the old slave believes that with the benevolence of the eldest grandson, he will definitely take care of the emperor with his heart and give the emperor the best support, but when he goes to Bashu, how will Thirteen Lang treat the emperor, the old slave does not know." ”

Gao Lishi's persuasion was serious, he was actually hinting to Li Longji, he went to Bashu to fight for power with Li Ji, he may not be able to gain the upper hand, Bashu is a small place, how can a mountain accommodate two tigers, Gao Lishi is a good intention, but his kindness has strengthened Li Longji's determination from a reverse direction, if he stays, he will be completely at the mercy of Li Yu, Li Longji resolutely made up his mind and left!

"Gao Weng, if I go to Bashu, will you leave?"

Gao Lishi said lightly: "The old slave has no nostalgia in the world, so he will die by the emperor's side!" ”

．．．．．．．． At dusk, Li Yu arrived at the Huangzhuang Pavilion according to the original plan, the Huangzhuang Pavilion is the management organization of the Huangzhuang, it is composed of a group of deep mansions, about 200 houses, among which the scenery of the pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water can also be seen everywhere, to put it more popularly, this is actually the emperor's private villa, the emperor came to live for a day or two by chance, and enjoy the real pastoral farmhouse style, so there are no facilities such as warehouses and wheat farms here, and elsewhere, of course, the designers of the farm took into account the emperor's agricultural needs, It also symbolizes the surname of the building in the Huangzhuang building, built a miniature version of the granary and a wheat field.

Li Yuhao's mighty team has left the wide official road, turned into a field road, his carriage can not drive into this narrow path, Li Yu changed to horseback, under the strict protection of hundreds of forest troops, to the pavilion several miles away, it was dusk, the sunset shone on the endless wheat field, the golden wheat field is like the vast golden ocean, in the sunset and the wind in the ups and downs, people walk in the wheat field, like chopping waves and waves, magnificent, Li Yu has never seen this magnificent scenery, see him admired, At this moment, there was a small commotion in front of him, as if someone was scolding, Li Yu frowned, and asked left and right: "What happened?" ”

A guard rushed forward and came back in a moment to report: "Back to Your Majesty, it is a dozen old peasants crying and begging. ”

"Bring them up!"

The eldest grandson next to him, Quanxu, was about to object, but Li Yu glared and said, "Do you want to stop me from visiting public opinion?" ”

Li Yu covered a big hat, and everyone didn't dare to stop it, so they had to strengthen protection, and soon, more than a dozen old farmers were brought up by the guards, and they knelt down in front of Li Yu and cried: "See Your Majesty the grass people!" ”

Li Yu nodded gently and said, "Don't be afraid, if you have any grievances, just tell me that I will call the shots for you." ”

One of the oldest old farmers said: "Your Majesty, on behalf of nearly 8,000 tenant farmers in more than 30 villages around Huangzhuang, we have asked Your Majesty for your life, begging Your Majesty to allow us to harvest wheat. ”

Guanzhong climate is mild, generally rice and wheat two seasons, in May and June to harvest wheat, and then rush to plant rice, time is very urgent, Li Yu came all the way, saw that the wheat in various places is almost finished, many wheat fields have begun to release water to raise seedlings, but Huangzhuang is still wheat waves golden, there is no sign of harvest, after the farmer reminded him, Li Yu felt a little strange, and asked: "Why don't you collect?" ”

The old farmer kowtowed and said: "We have long wanted to harvest, but the deacon of Huangzhuang did not allow it, saying that His Majesty would come to inspect and not allow us to destroy the scenery of the wheat field, but if we don't harvest again, it will be too late to raise seedlings." ”

Li Yu suddenly sank his face, and said to Li Yan unhappily: "Li Shangshu, this is what you mean!" ”

He came to Huangzhuang to inspect Li Yan's arrangement, although he decided the day before yesterday, but Li Yan had already begun to plan this matter, Li Yan was questioned by the saint, he was frightened, and hurriedly dismounted and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has already ordered it to go down, saying that His Majesty is going to come to inspect, but the minister definitely did not let the people below delay the agricultural time in order to preserve the scenery, and the minister will not make such an arrangement." ”

Li Yan is known for his upright reputation, and he will not do that kind of sycophancy, which Li Yu knows very well, he knows that this must not be what Li Yan meant, it must be the people below who deliberately figure out the holy will, he couldn't help but sigh softly and said: "Those who are good on the top will be very bad on the bottom, I said in the spring, I like to see the harvest of wheat farms, but I didn't expect the people below to deliberately please and harm the farmers, this is my fault!" The word of the word was passed on to me, that the prospective peasants should not stop the wheat harvest. ”

The eldest grandson Quanxu was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, a large number of farmers entering the field will be detrimental to Your Majesty's safety, so it is better to wait for Your Majesty to leave and then grab the harvest." ”

Li Yu shook his head, and said in a firm tone: "Farming time is like gold, there is no room to wait, pass on my message, and farmers can harvest wheat at any time." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Several old farmers were so excited that they kowtowed again and again, and Li Yu smiled slightly: "You go and inform the villagers to harvest wheat first!" I'd like to talk to you tomorrow when I'm free. ”

More than a dozen old farmers were taken down, and Li Yan sighed: "Your Majesty has mercy on the peasants, and he is really a benevolent and virtuous king!" ”

Li Yu also sighed with emotion: "Farmers, the foundation of the country, but what I want is not tenant farmers, let alone slave farmers, I want self-cultivated farmers, so that the military system of the Tang Dynasty will not be corrupted, the court will have taxes, the people will live in peace, they will not take risks to rebel, and the Tang Dynasty will be stable and sustainable. ”

At this time, Li Yu was no longer in the mood to see the magnificent scenery of the wheat field, this magnificence was based on the anxiety and crying of the peasants, so that Li Yu felt guilty, so he accelerated his speed, and went to the Huangzhuang Pavilion, half an hour later, a large number of peasants rushed out of various villages, men, women and children, almost poured out of the village, drilled into the wheat field and began to harvest wheat overnight.

．．．．．．． The five hundred black-clothed men hiding in the woods have been lurking for a day, thinking that there will be farmers to harvest wheat during the day and find them, so the black-clothed people were busy for an hour, digging up the only path leading to the woods, making the woods an island surrounded by small rivers, but the strange thing is that after a whole day, they did not see the shadow of a peasant, Li Chengning's intelligence system was not perfect, and he didn't know that the chief steward of Huangzhuang had issued a strict order ten days ago, and no one was allowed to go down to the field to harvest wheat, so that they were busy in vain. As night fell, a spy rushed in and hurriedly reported: "Lord Wang, they have arrived, and the target has entered the building." ”

"How many army escorts are there?"

"There are three thousand Yulin troops, and the eldest grandson Quanxu actually came in person."

"This old fritter, of course he won't let go of this opportunity to perform."

Li Chengning sneered and asked again, "How many guards are there?" Is there any news from Lin Sheng? ”

Lin Sheng is an undercover agent hidden among the guards, and he will play a very big role in this operation.

The spy replied: "Back to the prince, about a hundred guards, Lin Sheng has no news yet, it is estimated that he will appear when he patrols later." ”

"Keep exploring, don't be careless!"

The spy answered, and went down, and at this time, a sentry came from the big tree and shouted: "Lord! There is a situation. ”

Li Chengning raised his head and asked, "Let's be clear, what's the situation!" ”

"There are a lot of farmers in the wheat fields, and they are harvesting the wheat."

Li Chengning was stunned, jumped on the big tree in three or two steps, and looked at the wheat field intently, sure enough, in the dim night, there were figures shaking everywhere, this was not a patrolling soldier, but a farmer who was harvesting wheat, the farmer actually began to harvest wheat at night, Li Chengning was overjoyed, this is simply God helping him, he couldn't help but laugh, and said to his subordinates below: "Everyone prepare, we are also going to harvest wheat." ”

．．．．．．． Li Yu into the building after cleaning up, it was already late at night, there was silence all around, only to hear a burst of insect chirping and frog noise, Li Yu lived in the courtyard called the peony building in the building, located in the center of the building, surrounded by peonies and named, the peony building has three floors, Li Yu lives on the top floor, and his guards live below, the layout in the bedroom is almost exactly the same as the Daming Palace, Li Yu is very frugal in terms of food and clothing, and rarely goes out of the palace to inspect, afraid of extravagance and waste, but he is very particular about the bedroom, no one is allowed to live within three zhang around, in order to be quiet, Since ascending the throne, his sleep has not been good, especially when the financial crisis is critical, and he has insomnia all night long, so his queen is very harsh on his sleeping environment, no bright colors, soft and wide beds, and does not let Li Yu go to other concubines to spend the night, but sends the concubines to Li Yu's room, and then leaves, in order to ensure Li Yu's quiet sleep.

In this annex house, many eunuchs arrived in advance, that is, to arrange Li Yu's bedroom.

At this time, Li Yu sat in front of the window to review the folds, ascended the throne for more than a year, he had to review the folds every day until late at night before sleeping, and did not dare to slack off for a day, this is a diligent emperor, should have been able to create a prosperous era, how could he ascend the throne and encountered the crisis accumulated in the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, he exhausted his efforts, trying to balance the interests of various factions, so that everyone supported his reforms, but the cruel reality woke him up, ascended the throne for more than a year, he not only did not solve the crisis, the crisis also developed to a deeper level, Instead of balancing the interests of the various factions, the various interest groups took advantage of his weakness and pressed him step by step, almost driving him to death, and in desperation, he resorted to the most extreme means to forcibly eliminate the root cause of the crisis: land annexation.

Li Yu is not stupid, he knows that he is actually a traitor, except for a very small number of ministers such as Li Yan and Pei Min to support him, the general boycott of officials and the military threats one after another are enough to prove this, but he has no regrets, he has made up his mind to completely eradicate the interest group's possession of the land, return the land to the people, so that the cultivator has his land, this is his ideal, even if he pays the price of his life, he will also hand over a reborn Tang to his successor, so that the Tang Dynasty can be re-prospered in the hands of the successor, Whether this successor is his son or his enemy, as long as he is still surnamed Li and is still a member of the Tang dynasty, that is enough.

Li Yu was full of thoughts, he slowly put it down, looked back at a piece of writing on the wall, 'The cultivator has his field', five big characters, tomorrow, he will personally distribute the land of Huangzhuang to every farmer who cultivates, this will be his announcement to the people of the world, the reform of the acres of land, he Li Yu is no exception.

At this time, his eyes fell on a thin eunuch under the banner, there were three eunuchs standing in the room, and the little eunuch under the banner was called Yao Shilang, who had followed him since the Guangcheng Palace, and the top of his head was exactly aimed at the banner. Yao Shilang saw Li Yu staring at him, he hurriedly smiled flatteringly, Li Yu also laughed, and smiled self-deprecatingly, how could he have such a ridiculous idea, linking the world's fields with a humble little eunuch, he turned around again, and continued to immerse himself in the great events of the world, but he didn't know that the little eunuch behind him had a vicious smile on his face, this vicious, this hideous smile, made him on the top of his head. The word 'Tian' also seems to have become distorted.

．．．．．．． The Huangzhuang Pavilion is surrounded by endless wheat fields, in the night, tens of thousands of farmers are struggling to harvest in the wheat fields, everywhere are groups of peasants bending down to cut wheat, figures are shaking in the wheat fields, pieces of wheat ears have been cut, the peasants are grateful to the emperor's benevolence, most of them cut wheat at the edge of the wheat field, away from the Huangzhuang Pavilion, so as not to disturb the rest of the saints.

But in a wheat field about 300 steps away from Huangzhuang, there is also a group of people cutting wheat, the movements are neat, just like performing the sacrificial dance of cutting wheat, while cutting wheat, while approaching Huangzhuang step by step, they are Li Chengning led by five hundred warriors, the peasants cut wheat at night to help them a lot, so that they can easily approach the Huangzhuang building, without arousing the suspicion of the defenders, only two hundred steps away from the tall Huangzhuang wall, can already clearly see the figure on the sentry tower shaking, Li Chengning did not dare to move forward, then prostrate in place, let Mai Lang cover their figures, and at this time, a spy came running and reported in a low voice: "Lord Wang, I have obtained the defense map drawn by Lin Sheng." ”

Li Chengning was overjoyed, took a roll of drawings, with the faint moonlight, he could vaguely see the content on the drawings, the Yulin Army was mainly distributed in the four corners, but this is not important, once the fight starts, they will all change positions, the key is where is Li Yu? Soon he found where Li Yu was, located in the middle of the building, it was an octagonal three-story building, surrounded by flowers, written with the word 'peony', seeing this Li Chengning understood, he knew the structure of the Huangzhuang building well, Li Yu was on the peony floor.

The time was ripe, and he resolutely ordered: "One last time, everyone will check their weapons." ”

．．．．．．．
