At the end of the seventh year of Xingzhi, Li recited the edict, changed the Yuan Yonghui, amnesty the world, and next year was the first year of Yonghui. This change undoubtedly reflects Li Yu's expectations for the future of Datang. According to Han Yu's "Shunzong Record", Li Yu once admonished the crown prince Li Chun in the first month of the first year of Yonghui, saying:

"The present world is a world of great changes. I never imagined that the situation would change so much. Now the businessmen are working hard, the family is panicking, but the businessmen have to rely on the family, and the family must not be separated from the businessman. However, no matter what, we must understand that the family and the merchant are no longer superior, but will become the two legs of the Tang Dynasty. Are you willing to be one foot high and one foot low? The family is deeply rooted in governance, and we cannot govern the country without relying on them, but we must also guard against them misleading the country for their own interests. Businessmen are good at enterprising, circulating the world, without businessmen, the country will not have wealth, without wealth, how to talk about Zhongxing, how to talk about prosperity? The status of businessmen is already irrepressible, but it is also necessary to prevent them from being insatiable and forgetting their righteousness. You are the prince, when this world has changed greatly, you should understand that the answer to this problem is not in the sage book, the sage has not encountered this situation, so you can't believe those who say things under the banner of the sage, and those who say things under the banner of the sage often say their own truth, but it is unreliable, whether it is reasonable or not, no one knows, only look at the actual effect. You can now read and observe things in the East Palace, and ponder the truth. ”

Three months later, after the feast, Li Yu admonished the prince again:

"The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, Taishi Gong is honest and does not deceive me. You come and go at this feast, it's not lively, but where are the joints? It's just a good word. Businessmen say profits, why don't the family say profits? But one in the light and one in the dark. The family is moral, but the businessman is not moral? It's just that the two sources of 'profit' are different, and the morality is slightly different. You stand on a high place, you have to see clearly, and the key to solving the problem may also be in the word 'profit'. ”

The crown prince Li Chun is already in his thirties, and he is always admonished by Li Yu like this, and even Li Yu feels that it is not a solution, so Li Yu plans to let Li Chun start with practical affairs. After the feast in the first year of Yonghui, Li Yu ordered that the crown prince Li Chun be in charge of the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Agriculture. As for the Jingshi University Hall, which the prince has always wanted to manage, Li Yu still let the fourth child take care of it.

Li Yu said to Pei Du:

"In terms of academic matters, it's okay to pay more attention to politics, but it's better to take care of less."

There were indeed a lot of major events in the first year of Yonghui, and if he really wanted Li Chun to take care of his studies, he really didn't have time to take care of them. First of all, in the war, in June, 30,000 Tibetan elites came out of the stone fort city, Hao Jue avoided its edge, lured the enemy deep, broke the Tubo army on the edge of the Huangshui, and beheaded more than 5,000 levels. The Tibetan army crossed the river in a hurry, and countless people drowned. After this battle, Hao Jue took advantage of the victory and went to Stone Fort City again, but still returned in vain. However, this battle was indeed as Li Yu expected, after the first battle, there were not more than 30,000 troops, and the Tubo people did not dare to start the war lightly, and Hao Yu also won the same prestige as Ge Shuhan in Longyou.

In Hexi, Shi Jingfeng trained an elite cavalry of 5,000 people, and in August of the first year of Yonghui, under the organization of the Department of Grain and Straw Statistics, the Han people in Yizhou launched an uprising. In October, * the entire territory of the state of Krish. Li Yu ordered the establishment of the Yizhou Metropolitan Governor's Office, appointed the famous general Li Yuyao to lead the Yizhou Metropolitan Governor, and Bai Zuwang was the Governor of the Yizhou Assassin History. He also ordered the relocation of 500 tents to Yizhou and allocated to grassland. Since then, these 500 tents have also undertaken the task of harassing the Hui and provoking conflicts with the Hui.

It is also not stable civilly. Although the name of this year is Yonghui, God really doesn't give face to Datang, the flood in the south, the drought in the north, Li Chun, who is in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, sees that a large amount of money has been allocated from the piece he is in charge of for disaster relief, and he is in a really good mood. However, the old school is getting more and more tired of the prince.

In November of the first year of Yonghui, the governor of Youzhou, the envoy of Lu Longjie, Tongping Zhangshi, and Lu Zhen, the Duke of Wuguo, died of illness. Li Yu wept again, and ordered Lu Zhen to be posthumously presented to Sikong and boycotted for three days. Li Jiang was transferred out of the dynasty to serve as the governor of Youzhou and the envoy of Lu Longjie. In June of the second year of Yonghui, because Li Jiang was not familiar with border affairs, Liu Yuxi, the observer of eastern Zhejiang, was appointed as the envoy of Lulongjie.

In the first month of the second year of Yonghui, Li Yu, the general of the guards and the duke of Liangguo, left Beijing to serve as the governor of Yizhou and the head of the march of the Green Ridge Road. Tang officially began the operation of the battle to recover the Anbei Courtyard.

In May of the second year of Yonghui, the severe drought continued in the north, and there was a shortage of grain in Hui, and civil strife broke out. Li Yu, the governor of Tang Yizhou, Li Guangyan, and Tian Hongzheng, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, and Tian Hongzheng, made a three-way army attack and broke back to Hui. Tian Hongzheng recovered Dingxiang, Li Guangyan recovered Liangzhou, and Li Yu recovered the four towns of Anxi. One part of the Hui Dynasty was attached to the Tang Dynasty, and the other part was forced to move west, and the disaster was gone.

When he received the battle report of Mobei's victory, Li Yu jumped up from the bed barefoot. By the time the ministers arrived, Li Yu had already calmed down. Li Yu said to the ministers:

"It's a pity that the opportunity came suddenly, and I was not prepared enough, otherwise I would definitely be able to finish the battle. What we need to watch out for now is the confluence of the three families of Tubo, Black-clothed Dashi, and Huifu to deal with the Tang Dynasty together. ”

In order to cope with the great drought, in the name of the great victory, Li Yu once again issued an edict to amnesty the world, exempt from taxes, and at the same time ordered the prince to inspect Henan, Hedong and Hebei.

Li Jing, the king of Tan, and Li Wei, who was changed from the king of Jun to the king of secrets, because they did not know how to be frugal and sympathetic to the people's feelings during the great drought, but were wanton and happy, and were belittled and demoted to the king of the county by Li Yu, and ordered them to study and think about it behind closed doors. The children of several families who were close to the two kings were reprimanded by Li Yu.

On the seventh day of the twelfth month of the second winter of Yonghui, Li Yu, Li Guangyan, and Tian Hongzheng returned to the court, and Li Yu held a banquet in the Yanying Hall to reward the meritorious generals of the Northern Expedition. During the banquet, some ministers praised Li Yu with the world's great determination and the Quartet had nothing to do, and Li Yu was happy for a while and drank a few more cups. That night, Li Chen's old illness relapsed and died in Daming Palace.

At this time, the crown prince was still inspecting Hebei, and in Chang'an, it was Li Jing, the king of Tan, and Li Wei, the king of secrets. Li Zhongyan took out Li Chen's edict······
