The real estate price increase can only be a fun thing for Li Yu, and it will be forgotten after laughing. As an emperor, he now has more important things to do. In fact, this is also to blame Li Yu for being in one step, directly becoming the emperor, and lacking sensitivity to making money, if he starts from scratch, he will be sure that his eyes will shine and he will devote himself to the big plan of real estate development.

The car finally arrived in Luoyang, although it was extremely low-key when entering the city, but the impact was still huge. After all, the supreme ruler of the empire has not been to the eastern capital of Luoyang for decades. Luoyang, which had experienced the war, welcomed the arrival of the emperor in a grand form, and many people couldn't help but cry when they saw the emperor's car.

"This Datang is really going to be ZTE!"

Although Li Yu repeatedly instructed not to disturb the people and not to mobilize the people to go to the streets, he was still shocked when he arrived at the Dingding Gate of Guocheng Gate outside the south of Luoyang.

From outside the city to inside the city, from Dingding Gate to Tianjin Bridge to the main gate of the Imperial City, more than ten miles along the street are the citizens of Luoyang who spontaneously came to welcome them. If the people of Chang'an can still understand and take it for granted that the people of Chang'an respect him, the welcome of the people of Luoyang makes him feel recognized. At this time, even if the people of Luoyang welcomed him with the intention of seeing the gorilla, he recognized it.

Luoyang elders put down the incense case to take over the car, Li Yu suddenly stopped driving, accompanied by Wu Yuanheng and Zheng Yuqing to meet with the leading elders, took the rice wine offered by the elders, Li Yu drank it all regardless of the worried eyes of the people around him. This can't help but make some people who are mixed in with the people to watch the excitement regret it:

"I knew that the emperor was so close, so I also got an incense case and poisoned it."

Li Yu originally planned to enter Luoyang in an open-top car like later generations, but under the resolute dissuasion of Lu Zhen and Zheng Yuqing, he had to sit obediently in the car and resent the accompanying King of Ju Li Shu and Song King Li Jie to thank Luoyang's father along the street. There is no need to mention the scenes along the way, when he arrived at Luoyang Palace, Li Jifu was already waiting at the palace gate (the plot requires, I decided to continue Li Jifu's life, after all, such an outstanding talent faded out of the historical stage, how can it be a pity.) ）

After a few words of encouragement, Li Yu ordered Li Jifu to ride with him until the Ming Hall of Luoyang Palace. After the Ming Hall is heaven, Wu Zetian specially built a place to worship Buddha statues, thinking that he and Li Jifu were bent on restricting Buddhism, but now they have to deal with national affairs under the gaze of Buddha statues, Li Yu himself felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, thinking that the Buddha was magnanimous, and the inconsistency of the words and deeds of the Buddhist disciples was not the Buddha's original intention, Li Yu's heart was a little calm.

As soon as he arrived at Luoyang Palace, Li Yu went to the palace accompanied by Wu Yuanheng to inspect the work of various ministries, which was also a problem when he was the head teacher, and he always refused to rest assured of his students. Wu Yuanheng does things, can he still make him feel at ease? After Li Yu turned around and breathed in the fresh air, he didn't care about the fatigue of the journey, and he wanted to listen to the latest report.

After complimenting the emperor a few words, Wu Yuanheng began to speak. After the onslaught after the year, Li Yu's department has taken Yizhou, and Li Ting's victory will join the division, and then the army turned north, after a "vicious battle", took Yanzhou City, and captured more than 100 Ziqing civil and military officials under Guo Rihu. Li Yu and the prime ministers were all happy to listen to it, look at our Tang army, not only fight well, but also act first-class!

Wu Yuanheng said with a smile in his eyes:

"The minister thought that Guo Rihu was the first assassin-level Ziqing dignitary captured by the official army, and he should be escorted to the Eastern Capital and wait for His Majesty's fate. Just like that Xiahou Cheng, I don't know what Your Majesty wants? ”

Li Yu naturally said, "Quasi-playing".

Li Jifu said on the side:

"Your Majesty, the Yanhai Yimi Imperial Court in the four southern states of Ziqing has taken the third, and it is just divided, and the minister asks Your Majesty to set Yanhai Yimi as a town."

Li Jifu's words just reminded Li Yu that Ziqing is huge, and even if Ziqing is pacified, it can no longer be allowed to become an independent town, nor can some of these military states be divided into other towns like Xichuan, so it can only be divided. Asked at the moment:

"Who took Yizhou first?"

Pei Tuzi said:

"Back to Your Majesty, it's Li Ting, but"

Li Yu didn't wait for him to finish, and said:

"Does Lee listen to this kid? Haizhou was also won by him, right? He took two of them in Sanzhou, so use him as a Yanzhou assassin! Let him go and get Michigan again. ”

Lu Yi reminded:

"Your Majesty, Wang Zhixing has also made great contributions to Jinxiang, Yanzhou, and Yizhou."

Lu Zhen and Pei Tuzi's meaning Li Yu understands very clearly, Li Ting's two brothers, Li Yuan, the Duke of Qiguo, and Li Yu, the Duke of Liangguo, are both important envoys of the town, if Li Ting makes the envoy of the Jiedu again, the Li family will inevitably be a little too prosperous, not to mention the Wuning Army of Yanhai and Yimi Prefectures close to Li Yu? However, Li Yu also knew that what they meant was not so much to restrict the Li family, but to protect the Li family. There is a saying that "prosperity must decline".

However, Li Yu had his own thoughts, and said:

"Then Wang Zhixing will be promoted to the deputy ambassador of the Imperial History Zhongcheng and the Wuning Army. Changed the king of Jun, Li Wei, to the king of Lu, led the ambassador of Yanhai Yimijiedu, and Li Tingjia Yushi Dafu as the deputy ambassador. If there is no doubt about the righteousness, let the edict be drafted. ”

Then he glanced at everyone and said:

"If nothing else, please go and settle down. I am tired and want to go back to the palace to rest. ”

Since the emperor said so, everyone naturally understood that this was the final decision, and they all got up and retired. Only Lu Zhen said:

"The minister is presumptuous, there is a secret matter to enlighten Your Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty."

This couldn't help but make Li Yu stunned. Wu Yuanheng and Pei Tuzi both understood that Lu Xianggong was going to defend. Since he was exiled once, Lu Xianggong has rarely made the emperor ugly in public, but he still has an old temper that knows everything and says everything. Li Yu was helpless, so he had no choice but to say:

Lu Xianggong stayed to speak.

No one else knew what the two monarchs and ministers were talking about in the secret room, anyway, when they knew the draft edict of Wei Guanzhi, the appointment was still the original appointment, but the appointment of Cui Qun as the envoy of Ziqing Xuanfu was added. There was also an order to escort Xiahou Cheng and 47 other former Ziqing Army generals who were imprisoned in Chang'an Prison to Luoyang. Wei Guanzhi didn't know what the two were talking about, so he drafted the edict and asked Li Yu and Lu Zhen to use it, and then sent it to the door to save it.

As far as the eye can see, the fields are green, and the trees are sparsely green. However, if you look closely, there are many weeds and few crops in the fields. What should have been a land of life is barren and desolate, which makes the soldiers walking on both sides of the road feel distressed.

"Look, what a land! The crops are planted like this, if this is in our hometown, we must not be scolded to death by my father. ”

"Isn't it? Where do we have such fertile land, but it's a pity, the seedlings that grow as long as they can. ”

"When I set off, I also said that I should not trample on the farmland, and Fa Cao also said that if there is a violation of military law, I will do it, look, is there farmland here? It's appropriate to herd sheep. ”

"It's all war!"

"No noise!"

Seeing that the buzzing in the army was a bit loud, the team couldn't help but get angry. Reprimanded:

"Say less than a few words, save some effort to fight in Caozhou! Whoever speaks again, shut his mouth and deduct his salary! ”

The naked threat had an immediate effect, and the soldiers immediately closed their mouths and hurried nervously. Looking at the lieutenant who came from afar, the team was very satisfied with the appearance of their team.

"Brothers, what a pity it is to behold such a vast expanse of land, which is barren! This is all the sin created by Master Li. But when Li Shidao is destroyed, the land here will be cultivated! ”

The indoctrination army stood at the intersection and kept agitating to the passing troops. The soldiers felt that although this indoctrination joined the army was a little more gentle, it still made sense, and they were still willing to listen to it when they had nothing to do.

"Tell the people not to complain. At present, the reason why more people are levied and more grain is because they have to fight with the imperial court. When the soldiers of the court were repulsed, they would be able to cultivate their own land. If there is a lot of grain in this section, King Qi will also consider giving them a little more leniency. But don't learn from those people in Yanggu County, Su Qi's gang has been made so big by Liu Bingma that he won't have too many days. King Qi doesn't like Yanggu County very much, and has already said that even if he repels the soldiers of the imperial court in the future, Yanggu County's money and grain will not be missing at all, and now he will have to add money and grain. These anti-bones! ”

Sitting in the wide bearded chair of the government hall of the former Ziqing Jiedu Embassy Mansion, which had been converted into the Qi Palace, Lin Ying said lazily to the officials under him. Lin Ying's life is not good at the moment, since Yizhou and Yanzhou were attacked one after another, and the news of Guo Rihu's capture reached Yunzhou, Li Shidao fell ill again, and he was extremely sick, and the specific manifestation was that he couldn't listen to the news of the defeat, so now everyone in Caozhou and Taiqian County is hiding the situation from Li Shidao.

Guo Rihu fought to the end, and the defeat and capture still made Li Shidao very sad for a while. At least he felt that Guo Rihu was loyal to him now. Now every day, Li Shidao sighs for a long time, completely losing the sharpness when he just pulled the flag. Puyang was besieged, Kaocheng was lost, Yutai was lost, Jinxiang was lost, Shuyang was lost, Haizhou was lost, Qufu was lost, Yizhou was lost, Yanzhou was lost, and more than one-third of the twelve states had been lost in half a year. Wang Xing was defeated and killed, Xiahou Cheng was defeated and captured, and the soldiers had lost thirty or forty thousand. Since the beginning of the war, except for the defeat of the 52nd Army at Pingyin, there has been almost no good news. It's been half a year, and the more this battle is fought, the less confidence I have. Li Shidao began to regret that he didn't listen to the opinions of Gao Mu, Li Gongdu, and Guo Rihu.

Not only did Li Shidao regret it, but there were also many complaints in the army. Don't drive the report that there are often people in the army who say:

"Gao Mu, Li Gongdu, and Guo Rihu are loyal ministers, and they do their best to consider the king of Qi; Li Wenhui, Lin Ying, and Wang Zaisheng are traitorous ministers, just for their own promotion and wealth, putting the king of Qi in disloyalty and injustice, and putting us to death. ”

Li Shidao even began to believe that the soldiers' words made sense, and planned to transfer Guo Rihu back, but unfortunately as soon as he moved this thought, Guo Rihu was captured, Li Shidao really believed that Guo Rihu was a loyal minister, if it wasn't a loyal minister, would he be guilty? Therefore, Li Shidao shed a few tears, and gave Guo Ri's family more money than Wang Xing and Xiahou Cheng's family combined, and ordered Li Gongdu to be transferred back. Li Wenhui said behind his back that if it wasn't for the appointment with Tian Ji'an to become the king, Li Shidao would have planned to surrender.

Lin Ying believed that if Li Shidao knew the real situation, Li Shidao would definitely surrender, and Li Gongdu's return also exerted great pressure on him, Li Wenhui and Wang Zaisheng.

To be honest, it can't be rushed. Three of the four southern states have fallen, and there is also a Mizhou that is surviving for a long time, and the five states of Ziqing and Qi Denglai in the hinterland have also been rebelled by this Su and made a lot of trouble, if the official army sends another division out of Mount Tai to the north, these five states can not be counted on. And there is Cheng Quan behind him. The remaining three prefectures of Yunzhou, Caozhou, and Puzhou had to resist the siege of tens of thousands of troops from Li Guangyan, Wang Pei, and Li Yu, and the morale of the soldiers was low, Puyang was besieged, and Caozhou was besieged. Summoning Liu Wu back from the soldiers and horses in the Duzhi Ya, Liu Wu spread his hands together, asking for food for his husband, can he do it if he is not satisfied? The official army has already captured the city of Caozhou yesterday!

"Kill!"

The battle at the head of the city was gradually coming to an end, and the officers and soldiers close to the city wall were forced back by the dense rain of arrows, hot oil, and rolling stones and skulls at the head of the city.

"I know the soldiers and horses!"

Wang Pei sighed in his heart, so he had to grit his teeth and say:

"Mingjin!"

The generals breathed a sigh of relief. With the sound of gongs, small bed crossbows were pushed outside the city of Caozhou Weng, and thick arrows were shot at the Ziqing soldiers gathered at the head of the city with a dull sound of breaking through the air, often one arrow could shoot down several people. After the officers and soldiers on the city wall unwillingly slaughtered a Ziqing officer, he finally slid down the ladder.

Under the city, there were raging fires everywhere, and the corpses of officials and soldiers, as well as the corpses of a few Ziqing soldiers who fell from under the city wall. The Ziqing army cheered again in the city, which made the soldiers of the Xuanwu army extremely ashamed. Wang Pei also felt very aggrieved.

If this was the Zhongwu Army, it would have been fought a long time ago, but the Xuanwu Army had to weigh the command, and he couldn't suffer too many casualties. After all, he is a foreign commander.

"I told you that the soldiers and horses were all informed, and the Hou soldiers and horses sent someone to ask if you want their 52nd Army to take over our siege?"

Although the words of the officer who came to report were gentle, they had already ignited Wang Pei's anger. The generals and soldiers of the Xuanwu Army also showed indignation.

Finally, he glanced at Caozhou City, watched the defenders of Caozhou hook the ladder to the city, and looked at the open flames everywhere under the city, Wang Pei shouted angrily:

"Go and tell the Hou soldiers and horses, no! Back to camp! ”
