Ten days after the imperial envoy left Liangzhou, a shocking news spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor decreed that Li Rupei should be canonized as the king of Yi and concurrently served as the envoy of Shannan West Province, and his residence was in Liangzhou.

This news is enough to shock the world.

Canonized as the King of Yi, the territory is in Xiliang, has a special significance, Xiliang was once a small dynasty, but also a minority regime, once oppressed by the Han Qiang people, in Qinghai, Gansu established the Xiliang regime, please Han oppression, until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xiliang was occupied by Cao Cao, to the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, Xiliang became independent again, but the time was very short, and then was defeated by the Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong once set up the Anxi Protectorate in Xiliang, to the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty declined, The national strength is not good, and in fact it has given up the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate, and Xiliang is occupied by Tubo, and it has long been separated from the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, the emperor canonized Li Rupei as the king of Yi, and the fief was in Xiliang, and everyone was guessing the meaning, could it be that the imperial court would send Li Rupei to recover the Anxi capital in the future, which seemed to be an impossible task.

In any case, Li Rupei turned into a prince and became a veritable prince, and he had a completely different identity from those princes in the capital, because Li Rupei also served as the envoy of Shannan West Road, holding heavy troops.

Tian Lingzi's face was gloomy, and for several days in a row, he did not leave the Shence Army barracks.

It is said that he does not need to stay in the barracks for a long time, after all, his center of gravity is still in the imperial court, but after Kan Zeyu and Ma Haoxuan came back from Liangzhou, his mood was very bad, and it can be said that he fell to a low point.

Tian Lingzi, who has been calculating others all his life, never imagined that he was also calculated by the emperor, but unfortunately this breath has to be swallowed hard, after all, the emperor has been on the throne for six years, and has been recognized by the minister of Chinese and martial arts, and he Tian Lingzi also relies on the support of the emperor to be able to tilt the power of the government and the opposition.

Li Rupei suddenly rose, was canonized as the King of Yi, and concurrently served as the envoy of Shannan West Dao, which is a huge threat, from this moment on, Li Rupei's identity became bright, and if he wanted to publicly fire the army to encircle and suppress the Iron Army, it was basically impossible, even if he wanted to deal with Li Rupei and the Iron Army, he could only operate secretly.

The emperor suddenly canonized Li Rupei, and Tian Lingzi thought of a lot.

For many years, the government has been controlled by eunuchs, especially after the change of Ganlu Temple, the eunuchs completely controlled the army and the government, and the prime minister among the civil officials is just dependent on the existence of the eunuchs.

Could it be that the emperor has an inner idea about the eunuchs' control of power?

At this time, Tian Lingzi was most concerned about whether the emperor's mind had changed, and as for Li Rupei's matter, he took a step back.

Tian Lingzi did not take the initiative to go to the palace, but also wanted to see what the emperor's attitude was, if the emperor took the initiative to summon him, it means that the problem is not very big, maybe the emperor is starting from the interests of the clan, but also to block the mouths of the world, if the emperor does not summon him for a long time, it means that there is really trouble, then he Tian Lingzi has to find a way to do it.

Fortunately, in just three days, the emperor specially sent a eunuch to invite him to the palace.

After some conversation, Tian Lingzi was finally relieved, he grew up with the emperor and was familiar with the emperor's temperament.

However, after this conversation, Tian Lingzi also understood one thing, that is, thinking about dealing with Li Rupei, it is impossible for the time being, and he can only find opportunities in the future.

The minister sent by the emperor to announce the decree was Ma Haoxuan, the examiner of the Ministry of Rites.

When Ma Haoxuan arrived in Liangzhou, Shannan West Road was boiling, especially Qian Shiqu, Yu Chenghui, Tan Mingxiao, Xie Guoxi, Lu Shengan and others, they cried with joy.

On the day Ma Haoxuan arrived in Liangzhou, Qian Shiqu led many officials to leave Liangzhou City for ten miles to greet him.

The assassins of all the states came to Liangzhou, and once the holy decree was announced, they had to meet Li Rupei and express their obedience to Li Rupei's rule, and such a form was indispensable.

Li Rupei himself seemed very calm.

His joy had long passed, and at this moment, the biggest thought in his heart was how to build Shannan West Road well and make it a veritable base for the Iron Army.

Ma Haoxuan entered Liangzhou City and went straight to the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy.

Li Rupei greeted him outside the gate of the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy.

After Ma Haoxuan dismounted, he immediately saluted Li Rupei, according to reason, Ma Haoxuan came to announce the decree on behalf of the imperial court, at least before the decree, the identity was amazing, and there was no salute to Li Rupei.

Li Rupei had a smile on his face, he immediately thought that Ma Haoxuan had made a suggestion before leaving Liangzhou, it seems that Ma Haoxuan accepted his suggestion, and this time he came to Liangzhou to announce the decree, and he may stay directly.

After entering the yamen of the Jiedu envoy, the incense table has been placed in the lobby.

It is necessary to kneel and bow to receive the order, which is also the rule, although there are 10,000 reluctances, but Li Rupei still kneels, he has no family, that is, he kneels under the lobby alone.

Ma Haoxuan's announcement was very fast, as if he was taking care of Li Rupei, and he didn't want Li Rupei to kneel for a long time.

After receiving the order, Ma Haoxuan took out the edict of the ministry from his arms.

Li Rupei took the edict.

Ma Haoxuan was canonized as the Prince's Mansion Army, which is the rank of the fifth grade, that is to say, Ma Haoxuan's rank has risen by two levels, and he has changed from the fifth rank to the fifth grade, but he has no real power.

The military of the Prince's Palace, especially those in the capital, do not have the slightest power, in the final analysis, they are to monitor the prince's every move on behalf of the imperial court, and there is no comparison with the position of the official department.

"The subordinates will visit the prince and obey the prince's dispatch in the future."

"Hehe, the edict of the imperial court is very fast, a certain has just become the king of Yi, and the dian army has been sent, or not, the dian army has nothing to do, and there is no palace, so you stay in the festival to make the yamen do things."

Ma Haoxuan's face showed a heartfelt smile, what he was looking forward to was Li Rupei's words, in fact, his pawn army, what he said was not good, he came to Liangzhou to take refuge, so as not to be calculated by Tian Lingzi, Li Rupei was canonized as the king of Yi, and the court did not plan to allocate money to build any prince's palace, nor did it plan to send other officials.

As long as the yamen is made to do things in the festival, it is to grasp the actual power, as for what to do, it is not a matter of Li Rupei's words.

Next, the assassins of the states began to visit Li Rupei in the wing, this time it was a real kneeling visit, Li Rupei was already a prince, and he also served as the envoy of the festival, such an identity was very noble, and many officials must kneel down for the first time.

Li Rupei didn't put up any shelf, and every official who knelt down, that is, he got up quickly.

After a full hour, the ceremony of the visit was over, and in this process, Ma Haoxuan naturally became the head of maintaining order.

After the meeting ceremony, Qian Shiqu, Yu Chenghui, Tan Mingxiao, Xie Guoxi and others stayed in the wing.

Li Rupei's expression became serious.

"I know that you are very happy, the identity of a certain has been recognized by the imperial court, was canonized as the king of Yi, and concurrently served as the envoy of Shannan West Road, this is indeed a happy thing, but a certain feeling is that the responsibility is more significant, now it is the autumn harvest season, there are still some bad situations in various places, especially those gentry and rich households, exploiting the people a little too much, so that the people can not live, such a situation, must be stopped, if someone thinks that the rules specified by the Yamen are just staying on paper, Then let him taste it. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have said a long time ago that Shannan West Road is a homeland, and I will work with you to maintain this homeland, the homeland is getting better and better, you and a certain can sit back and relax, the army of Huangchao is in chaos, the situation in the world is still unclear, in such a situation, your main task is to build Shannan West Road well, so that this place will become the richest place in Datang."

"Your position, a certain has been prepared to play a fold, today will send a messenger to the imperial court, so that your identity is clear, in the future to do things more justifiably, you are a certain henchman, but also a certain object to rely on, I hope you can work hard, spare no effort to build a good Shannan West Road." ……

Everyone listened very carefully, it should be said that the situation in Bazhou and Pengzhou is the best, the people have basically settled down, and in the rest of the places, the iron and blood army has only been in command for about two months, and there are still many things that need to be improved.

After Qian Shiqu and the others left, Ma Haoxuan and Zhao Laibao entered the wing.

"Ma Dianjun, Zhao Laibao, tomorrow you will leave Liangzhou, to inspect everywhere, the task of inspection, in the letter, Ma Dianjun has just arrived in Liangzhou, should rest and adjust for a period of time, but there are many things in Shannan West Road, you have no time to rest and adjust, as for the many requirements of the Yamen, Zhao Laibao is responsible for telling Ma Dianjun in detail, now is the autumn harvest season, you must go down to carefully supervise, find the fish and meat people's actions, merciless, resolutely crack down on ......"

After everyone left the wing, Li Rupei looked at the map on the wall and thought about the matter of the Iron Army.

In the dark, he had a feeling that Huang Chao would definitely not give up, and within a short period of time, he would take action against Shannan West Road, maybe Huang Chao would not do this before, but now he has a good reason.

The Predators must be prepared for everything, and if Huang Chao dares to attack, they must deal a devastating blow.
