―― "Xi'er, I really didn't expect that our army would capture Luoyang so quickly, this king ...... I'm so happy," Li Jue looked at Yang Xi with a smile on her face, "I really didn't expect that Xi'er, you are so young and perform so well, I really don't know how happy I am to be a father. With people like you helping me, why can't I worry about my father? If he finally takes charge of the world, the people of the world will be very happy. ”

Li Jue, who has fully appreciated Yang Xi's ability, no longer hides his purpose, and shows more and more affection for Yang Xi, he hopes that his initiative to show favor can finally be exchanged for Yang Xi's wholehearted support!

However, Yang Xi was unmoved, and after listening to Li Jue's demagogic words, he replied in a light tone: "Your Highness, now that the war has not completely subsided, and the power of the rebels has not been completely wiped out, the most important thing now is to control the situation, appease the people, and eliminate the last forces of the rebels." For the rest, please don't think about it for the time being, the wall has ears, and many things don't talk about casually. ”

Yang Xi was not angry when he said these words, he felt that Li Jue was too direct, and it was a complete exchange of interests with him, although he was already a little tempted, but he still didn't dare to take these things seriously.

It's too big, and it's almost as difficult as ascending to the sky, so I can't think about it now, and I don't want to talk about anything. Luoyang has just been captured, and the most important thing is to restore order in Luoyang, and don't cause chaos, otherwise the credit will be greatly reduced.

Hearing Yang Xi say this, Li Jue was slightly disappointed, but after he thought about it, he was immediately relieved, and continued to say very lovingly: "Xi'er, then what do you think you should do next for your father?" What must be done now? My father has no experience in this area, but I can't shirk it, so I can only take charge of things, and I hope you can give more ideas for your father. ”

Yang Xi looked at Li Jue, saw the sincerity on the other party's face, and also smiled, and replied: "Your Highness, your credit is already great enough, after the war is over, you can return to the court in triumph, and the court will definitely let others deal with the rest of the matter, we just need to wait for His Majesty's edict!" The most important thing now is to prevent chaos in Luoyang City, repair the fortifications in the city that were destroyed by the war, as well as the facilities in the imperial city, and continue to send people and horses to suppress the chaos and completely quell the remnants of the rebels, which is what His Highness arranged just now. His Highness has done a good job, and the last general doesn't have much experience in this area, so he can't provide more advice. ”

Hearing that Yang Xi really gave him advice and affirmed his arrangement just now, Li Jue was even more happy, and couldn't help but reach out and pat Yang Xi's shoulder, and then said: "Xi'er, you can help your father, and I'm very happy for my father." After returning to the dynasty this time, I will also make a strong request in front of my father, to let my father promote you to the throne, you have made such great achievements, without you, the rebellion would not have been quelled so quickly, there should be a higher position, and the king should also be crowned, I will strongly ask my father to make you king, at least you should be crowned a prince or something, otherwise it will make the soldiers feel cold. ”

"Your Highness laughed, the last general is not yet the age of the weak crown, and he doesn't dare to be greedy for so much, and please don't say these unrealistic things, everything must focus on the overall situation! Prince Heng definitely doesn't want to see His Royal Highness make such a great contribution, maybe after His Royal Highness returns to Beijing, the Prince will take the opportunity to come out and do something, if His Royal Highness returns to Beijing, he still has to ask for these unrealistic things for the last general in front of His Majesty, then maybe it will make His Majesty annoyed!" To be honest, Yang Xi was a little moved by Li Jue's closeness like this, but he also knew that the more Li Jue was like this, the stronger the utilitarian purpose, he couldn't be confused by a mirage-like phantom, and he had to keep a clear head at all times, so as not to steal chickens and rice.

He didn't want Li Jue to be so urgent, and he repeatedly said this between the lines, then he would be afraid.

He doesn't mind that Li Jue is incapable, if he really wants to be the emperor, then he hopes that Li Jue is incapable and has no means, so that his goal will be easy to achieve, just like Ruizong Li Dan, he can't bear the pressure, and he also feels that he is not the material to be the emperor, and finally handed over the emperor to his son Li Longji. But he didn't want to see Li Jue act in a hurry and make things worse.

Hearing Yang Xi say this, Li Jue was shocked, and he also came to his senses a little, and after thinking about it, he immediately nodded: "Xi'er, what you said is right, the most important thing now is to let his father abolish Li Heng's crown prince, and let his father take over his crown prince." Only when I become the crown prince can the things I just said come true. You can rest assured, my father will keep a low profile, and when he returns to Luoyang, he will devote himself to promoting this. I just hope that you can help me a biological father, as long as my father finally becomes the emperor, the country of the Tang Dynasty will be yours in the end. ”

Li Jue said, slapped Yang Xi the shoulder, and then smiled.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, many things have been done in this ear and out of that ear, and I have not heard it at all!" Yang Xi said, not waiting for the stunned Li Jue to react, and immediately made a salute: "Your Highness has worked hard all the way, let's take a rest again, the last general will go around the city, the war has just stopped, and many things will have to be dealt with by the general, and it will not delay His Highness's rest." If there is anything undecided, the last will come to report to His Highness. ”

Without waiting for Li Jue to respond, he walked out of the room quickly, leaving Li Jue alone there stunned-

Because of the curfew, the situation in Luoyang was quickly brought under control.

Early the next morning, order was restored in Luoyang City, and the three major cities were opened one after another, but there were no merchants and pedestrians, and it was very deserted. But everyone knows that in the next day, Luoyang City will return to its pre-war appearance, and the south, north and west markets will be lively again.

Before Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi led their troops to leave the vicinity of Fanyang and attack Luoyang in the south, Yan Zhenqing, Li Siye, Helan Jinming, Cheng Qianli, Zhang Xun and other troops went south first, but because of the resistance of the rebels along the way, coupled with the lack of horses, their marching speed was much slower than that of Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, who were all cavalry, and the battle of Luoyang was over, and they had not yet resisted Luoyang.

On the third day after Luoyang was captured, order in Luoyang City was completely restored, and after the corpses were cleared, 15,000 people from Yan Zhenqing's department took the lead in arriving in Luoyang. Hearing the sergeant's report, saying that it was after Yan Zhenqing led the army to Luoyang, Yang Xi was overjoyed, and immediately threw down the matter in his hand, and beckoned Pang Zhong and Wang Sili, Gao Shi and other generals around him to greet him together.

The current Yan Zhenqing's achievements in the counterinsurgency campaign are not small, but this is not the main reason why Yang Xi respects him very much. It is worth asking him to greet in person, because this is a master who occupies an important place in the history of Chinese calligraphy, and in later generations he studied Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, and his father also learned it, and he respected it very much.
