In the spring of the first year of Dashun (890), on the first day of the first month, the emperor came to the Wude Hall to accept the congratulations of hundreds of officials. The prime minister led hundreds of officials to present the emblem to the emperor: Emperor Shengwen Ruide, Guangwu Hongxiao. At the end of the ceremony, the emperor issued an edict to amnesty the world and changed the name of the year to Dashun.

Well, one year is a year name, that's how you can toss. Lu Renbing has long been used to it! Toss. Fortunately, the court made a windfall last year, and the court was doing well.

Because Lu Renbing's performance was not bad, he also recognized the territory occupied by many festivals and appointed officials. Therefore, most of the feudal towns have also restored some tributes sent to Chang'an to save face, and no longer obstruct the tribute of those small feudal towns in the south of the Yangtze River to the imperial court.

The form of Chang'an has suddenly changed a lot, and the court is very happy.

In the new year, there is nothing major in Chang'an City, the repair of the city wall is still continuing, and the agricultural production of Jingzhao Mansion is also recovering.

Lu Renbing began to extend his tentacles outside the palace, and he began to appoint eunuchs to establish an organization similar to Dongchang, of course, he did not give Dongchang the power to arrest people at will, and selected capable personnel from the guards to form Jinyiwei, both of which were temporarily focused on intelligence gathering. The two organizations are not from each other. Because it was formed in secret, the people of the two organizations didn't even know about each other's existence.

Lu Renbing's main purpose was for these two organizations to monitor the courtiers, feudal towns, and establish an effective intelligence organization. When the time is ripe, it is not impossible to let the two intelligence organizations become the kind of spy organizations of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to buying and training intelligence personnel, the two organizations also established various commercial organizations as covers. Green building, pawnshop, dart shop, two lines, merchant and so on.

It took Lu Renbing a year to establish an intelligence network covering Longyou in Guanzhong, and then it took another five years to expand this network to the whole country, which is all a story for later.

The most important thing in the first year of Dashun was that Zhu Quanzhong wrote to the court to come forward to fight Li Ke.

In order to achieve this goal, Zhu Quanzhong made a bloody investment and sent someone to bribe Zhang Jun with a lot of money, so that he could constantly lobby Lu Renbing. He also wrote, "In the feudal towns of Kanto, please appoint a well-known and virtuous minister of the imperial court to serve as an envoy and an observer." If a vassal sticks to his position and does not accept his replacement, the vassal asks for troops to be sent to destroy him. For example, Wang Hui, Pei Xuan, Kong Hui, Cui Anqian, etc., are all famous gentry families, and their qualifications have always been very high, and they should be appointed as the festival envoys of Xuzhou, Yunzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou and other prefectures."

This is really a bloody investment, and he promised to go out so much territory at once to win over the courtiers. Why? It's really too much pressure on him from Li Keyong.

In March of the first year of Dashun, Li Ke defeated Meng Qian (Meng Fangli's younger brother) and seized the three prefectures of Xing, Wei and Ci, which was close to Zhu Quanzhong's forces. Then Li Keyong sent the general An Jinjun to lead the army to attack Yunzhou, and Helian Duo asked Youzhou for help. Youzhou Li Congwei sent troops to defeat Ahn Jinjun.

So Li Congwei, Helian Duo and Zhu Quanzhong all wrote to take advantage of Li Keyong's defeat to take the opportunity to crusade against him in order to remove the threat. Li Keyong made great contributions in the process of quelling the Huangchao Rebellion, and history has also proved that Li Keyong was loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Lu Renbing didn't want to crusade against him at all.

However, the joint petition of the three feudal towns should still be taken seriously. So Lu Renbing was anxious about the members above the fourth grade and discussed it together. As a result, 70 percent of officials said they could not lead the crusade. Otherwise, the court will fall into injustice. Yang Fugong had a good relationship with Li Keyong, so he also strongly advised Lu Renbing not to go to war with Li Keyong.

Only Zhang Jun accepted the benefits of Zhu Quanzhong and insisted repeatedly, but Lu Renbing was not moved at all. An edict was issued to all parties concerned, hoping that they would exercise restraint and endure each other for the sake of the country, well, negotiation should be the mainstay, and not recklessly use swords.

Zhu Quanzhong, Helian Duo, and Li Congwei, who got the will, were of course very dissatisfied, but Li Keyong was overjoyed. He was not afraid of war, mainly because the emperor did not reprimand him in the will given to him, but praised him greatly, which made him very useful. thinks that the emperor gives him face.

So he was happy and changed the pool salt that he planned to pay tribute in previous years from 3,000 to 5,000. Lu Renbing made a wave. As for Li Congwei, Helian Duo is sorry, it's too far away, and you don't have to hate me. I can't beat it. Zhu Quanzhong now has to deal with Li Keyong's possible attack with all his might, so he can't care about the trouble of the imperial court at all.

In fact, this guy didn't have good intentions in the first place. He is purely playing Chang'an as a stupid boy, provoking the relationship between Chang'an and the Jin Domain, and consuming the already weak troops of the imperial court, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Lu Renbing is not fooled at all, and he doesn't need to consume Li Keyong's strength for Zhu Wen, he wants to fight you yourself, don't pull me.

As a result, Zhang Jun, who received Zhu Wen's benefits, still begged for Zhu Wen's will, and let the feudal towns around the Jin Domain launch an attack together. He also wants to serve as the commander of the Taiyuan four-sided battalion, and a prime minister doesn't know what to think. Want to grasp the military power and kill Yang Fugong?

It doesn't depend on whether you're the one or not. Lu Renbing saw that Zhang Jun was already insisting, and he didn't want to restrain him, so he relegated him to Yanzhou as a assassin. In this way, you can follow Zhu Wen to fight Li Keyong.

and Han Jian, the Huazhou assassin who jumped up and down, happened to take it together. It's not pleasing to look at him for a long time.

Lu Renbing took the opportunity to take back Huazhou and took Tongguan and Lantian under his command.

Taking Han Jian was a long-planned action by Lu Renbing, as early as when the imperial court was still discussing whether to agree to Zhu Quanzhong's suggestion, Lu Renbing had already sent his own guards and selected elite soldiers, and a total of 5,000 people dressed up in disguise and entered the cities of Huazhou. Especially around Han Jian's Jiedu Mansion, a thousand people infiltrated in batches. The weapons of the army, prepared in advance by Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

After everything was ready, Lu Renbing sent a lieutenant envoy with elite escorts to go directly to Han Jian's office to announce the decree, and took the opportunity to lock Han Jian. Then quickly take control of the city and take over the fortress. Lu Renbing personally led a large army to Huazhou and took over all the defenses there. Han Jian was accused of rebellion and was quickly punished. All of the army's cronies were also killed.

Lu Renbing didn't have time to influence them, Han Jian had been operating in Huazhou for ten years and had a lot of savings, Lu Renbing gained a wave of fat, and also harvested 40,000 elite soldiers and a large amount of grain and grass by the way.

In this way, the army directly controlled by Lu Renbing exceeded 70,000, and Lu Renbing also controlled the strategic Tongguan and Lantian. There is no need to worry that Zhu Wen will enter and exit from Tongguan with a large army at any time.

got Huazhou, and at an important juncture, put his henchmen. Lu Renbing rushed back to Chang'an with an army of 40,000.

It's not been more than a month. Lu Renbing's actions this time frightened the court, and even Yang Fugong became suspicious. How did the emperor get rid of a feudal town in a month? Or with a bunch of rookies.

But soon he didn't have to worry about it, because Lu Renbing had already arranged a bureau against him when he left Beijing.
