Chapter 211: Liu Ziheng's Awakening

The first year of Guangming has passed, and the Spring Festival is coming soon.

What made Li Rupei feel strange was that the emperor actually changed the era name to Zhonghe, so that 881 AD became the first year of Zhonghe, which was something he couldn't understand.

The reason why Tang Xizong changed the era name in history was because the capital Chang'an was occupied by Huang Chao, and Huang Chao established the Great Qi regime in Chang'an. Li Rupei's crossing, the eastern capital Luoyang and the capital Chang'an did not encounter anything, why did they change the era name.

Maybe changing the era name after more than a thousand years, it is considered a very common thing, the emperor is in a bad mood, it is possible to change the era name, but Li Rupei who has crossed is clear, changing the era name is not a simple matter, it needs to be discussed several times in the court, this is related to whether the regime is stable, unless it is a last resort, otherwise the emperor will not easily change the era name, and there is a rule for changing the era name, the more chaotic the dynasty, the more frequent the change of the era name, the emperor and the court have no ability to change the status quo, One can only hope that changing the era name will bring good luck.

Moreover, this time the era name was changed, and at the end of the month, the emperor announced to the world that the era name was changed to neutralization.

Zheng Jin's letter, finally explained why the emperor changed the name of the year, it turned out that this was the idea of Tian Lingzi and others, the reason is also a little ridiculous, Tian Lingzi and others believe that there are a lot of things encountered in the first year of Guangming, the court changed the first prime minister twice, Wang Duo was removed from the post of prime minister because of the defeat of Huang Chao, Lu Xian committed suicide because of the wrong decision, which brought irreparable consequences, and at the same time, Cao Quanyang was killed in battle, and Zhang Lu, the first Xiao general of Gao Piao, was also killed, these scenes indicate that the court met something wrong, The era name needs to be changed to get rid of these bad luck.

Zheng Jin's explanation doesn't make sense, these are not big deals. Li Rupei knew very well that Tian Lingzi and others suggested changing the era name, and the emperor also agreed to change the era name, to a greater extent, it was aimed at him Li Rupei, and the iron-blooded army in the first year of Guangming sat too many things, which had made Tian Lingzi restless, and the emperor was also full of suspicions.

What makes Li Rupei feel ridiculous is that changing the era name can make the iron-blooded army decay, and can changing the era name make the weak Li Tang clan strong, which is precisely this kind of practice of changing the era name. Those Li Tang clans in the capital have fallen into the end of the road, and there is no hope left.

Li Rupei didn't care about these things, he also wanted to have a good Spring Festival, through these years, he really didn't have a good Spring Festival, at least he didn't have a family before, and the Spring Festival was similar to usual.

The matter of exterminating the Yellow Nest is already in secret planning. But the spring ploughing season will not act, after all, the spring ploughing of Shannan West Road and Shannan East Road is the biggest issue, especially Shannan East Road, because of Liu Ziheng's exploitation. The people are in poverty, and it is impossible for the government to always provide relief, and their ability to bear it is limited, so they need to rely on this spring ploughing. Let the people farm the land and harvest the grain to feed themselves, which can be regarded as true stability.

Twenty-ninth of the lunar month.

The local government is basically resting. According to the provisions of the revised township rules and civil covenant, the officials in the government will be on vacation from the 28th day of the lunar month to the 16th day of the first month.

This regulation has been warmly welcomed by the officials, during the Spring Festival, the officials' income increases, the vacation time is so long, you can accompany the family well, of course everyone is happy, but there are also officials who must stay in the government, that is, those whose hometowns are in the north or the south, they can't go back, the vacation of more than half a month seems to be a long time, but the time they spend on the road, almost ten days, if something happens, maybe half a month is on the road, maybe the sixteenth day of the first month can not arrive, After all, in the documents issued by the Yamen, the rules and requirements were very strict and could never be violated, so they simply did not go back.

Cui Anqian and Liu Yunzhang came to the palace.

During the Spring Festival, it is impossible for the two to rest well, they are different from ordinary people, and the burden on their shoulders is a lot heavier.

The things that should be said have basically been said, and the arrangements for the coming year have long been deployed, and there is no need to emphasize that Cui Anqian came to report this time to talk about Liu Ziheng.

"Lord Wang, Liu Ziheng has been imprisoned for more than four months, and the court has never had a will, neither asking for beheading, nor asking to be escorted to the capital, it will be the first year of Zhonghe soon, and it will not be a matter if it drags on like this."

Cui Anqian had just finished speaking, and Liu Yunzhang also spoke.

"Lord Wang, the meaning of his subordinates, Liu Ziheng's crime is extremely heinous, and he should be beheaded."

Li Rupei smiled, he used to think about killing Liu Ziheng, but then he changed his mind, the court did not have any will, so he thought of some other things, maybe Tian Lingzi and others, I wish he killed Liu Ziheng.

"It's better to keep Liu Ziheng than to kill him, I have long thought about killing Liu Ziheng, Liu Ziheng and X have a hatred that they don't share, according to reason, X should not hesitate, but for the future, X must leave Liu Ziheng, some people in the court, I wish I killed Liu Ziheng, so they don't have to worry."

Cui Anqian and Liu Yunzhang's faces showed a look of admiration, they couldn't imagine that Li Rupei would be able to save the life of his father's enemy for the sake of Li Tang's world and future development.

However, it is impossible for them to know about Li Rupei's crossing.

After saying these words, Li Rupei stood up and spoke again.

"Father-in-law, let's go to the prison to see Liu Ziheng."

Although he didn't receive any abuse, he was terrified every day, and he didn't know when he was dragged out and killed, Liu Ziheng's mood couldn't get better, the taste in the prison was uncomfortable, he didn't know anything, he couldn't know anything, and after a few months, Liu Ziheng's hair was all white.

Li Rupei and the others saw Liu Ziheng with a blank expression, and the expressions on their faces were different.

After Liu Ziheng saw Li Rupei, his body trembled slightly, and a trace of blush appeared on his face.

"Liu Ziheng, it's the Spring Festival soon, Cui Gelao, Liu Gonghe and a certain will come to see you."

Liu Ziheng opened his mouth, but he didn't speak, and he couldn't say anything.

"For so long, I've been scared, this kind of taste is not comfortable, maybe you think that so-and-so will not let you go, will definitely kill you, let you stay in the prison, but let you suffer more torture, you think well, there is such a reason, after all, you and a certain have a hatred of the sky."

Liu Ziheng's eyes blinked, his face became even paler, and he couldn't see a trace of blood.

"You must be very strange, why is there no holy decree in the imperial court, it is said that you are Tian Lingzi's henchman, in this case, Tian Lingzi has to find a way to rescue you no matter what, it's a pity, four months have passed, there is no holy decree in the imperial court, you have been forgotten by Tian Lingzi, and it can even be said that you have been abandoned."

"I don't want to say much about this reason, maybe you know too many secrets, as for how Tian Lingzi wants to deal with you, I don't want to say more, you stay in the prison, there are always some thoughts in your heart, and there is still a trace of expectation."

After Li Rupei said these words, Liu Ziheng's body began to tremble, sitting on the bed, he couldn't support it anymore, his body softened, and his legs knelt on the ground.

"The prince killed so-and-so, so-and-so doesn't want to suffer in prison......"

"So-and-so said, I won't kill you in a short time, you don't have any illusions, many people in the capital are looking forward to killing you, but so-and-so won't do it."

Liu Ziheng was already lying on the ground, and all his saliva and snot were flowing out.

After a long while, Liu Ziheng slowly regained his composure, and his expression instantly became dull.

"A certain life of hard work, in the end actually encountered such a fate, ridiculous, ridiculous, at this time, a certain does not want to hide anything, I implore the prince to provide paper, pen and inkstone, something to write out......"

Li Rupei's face showed a smile, what he hoped to get was this ending, once Liu Ziheng wrote out many secrets, he could grasp Tian Lingzi's handle, and at the most critical moment, put Tian Lingzi to death.

After leaving the prison, Liu Yunzhang couldn't help but speak.

"Didn't the prince expect Liu Ziheng to behave like this."

"Liu Gong, a certain is not so magical, Liu Ziheng has been imprisoned for more than four months, living like a year, his mind is far from being able to compare with before, this down-and-out person, what he likes most is self-paralysis, always thinking about what hope there is, even if it is a slim hope, a certain purpose is to size Liu Ziheng's thoughts, it seems that Liu Ziheng understands everything, as the saying goes, mourning is greater than heart death, Liu Ziheng's life is not long, maybe after writing these things, he will break himself."

Cui Anqian nodded.

"What the prince said is that Liu Ziheng obviously retains hope, the prince's words made Liu Ziheng understand the thoughts of Tian Lingzi and others, and now Tian Lingzi is afraid that he wants Liu Ziheng's life even more, in this case, what hope can Liu Ziheng have, at this time, Liu Ziheng hates Tian Lingzi the most, what Liu Ziheng knows, at this time, he will tell it all, even if he dies, he will not let Tian Lingzi go."

"What my father-in-law said is, but Liu Ziheng can't write anything useful, at least it won't be of much use to someone, maybe these things fall into the hands of Yang Fuguang and others, and they will have a major effect."

Cui Anqian, Liu Yunzhang and others all laughed, Yang Fuguang and Tian Lingzi are mortal enemies, both of them are eunuchs, they both want to control power, Yang Fuguang is no match for Tian Lingzi, and he is suppressed everywhere, if it is not for the protection of the emperor, it is difficult to say whether he can save his life, Yang Fuguang is gritting his teeth against Tian Lingzi, once he gets these useful materials, I am afraid that he will try his best to fight back.
