Dezong and Shunzong have finally been involved in the vortex of history and no longer exist. In the first year of Yuanhe, Li Chun began to implement some measures to stabilize the country and realize his own political ambitions.

Li Chun ordered Prime Minister Li Jifu to preside over the compilation of the "Yuanhe County Atlas" by the Hanlin Yuan, so as to systematically understand the administrative division, historical evolution, geography, and folk customs under his rule, and to benefit future generations.

Si Tianguan Xu Angjin presented a new calendar, called "Guantian Calendar", which is more accurate than the old calendar, and Li Chun ordered the historian to revise it. This calendar was later introduced to the whole country in the second year of Yuanhe.

Li Chun also summoned a number of highly respected monks to Beijing to hold a grand Dharma ceremony to pray for the peace of the country and the people and the consolidation of the emperor's plan.

His Majesty the Emperor has worked hard, and there have been no new people in the harem. In order to save time for walking and sitting, Li Chun rarely went to the deep palace, and usually walked around on both sides of the Zichen Hall and the Penglai Palace, which saved a lot of trouble.

Those young concubines have never been promoted, and they haven't seen the emperor for a month, so they are busy dealing with their own food and clothing and the palace maids and eunuchs of the Liushang Bureau, and they haven't been able to make any major decisions.

In a blink of an eye, it was October of the first year of Yuanhe.

The concubine had breakfast, went to the main hall and sat down, and felt that there seemed to be one more person today.

Take a closer look, isn't it, a fresh face sits opposite Liu Qingqing, under Ji Dingxiang.

The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, very thin, with a pointed chin, and a light green brocade cloak tied. The weather in October was not very cold, and she was already wearing a cotton jacket, and she looked very cold.

Her face was sickly pale, her eyebrows were in the shape of a distant mountain, and the tips of her eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if she was always staring at a melancholy cloud like smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River. Such a girl, like a paper beauty, looks like a paper beauty, and the appearance that she is about to fall down when the wind blows, makes people can't help but feel pity.

Seeing that the concubine was staring at her, the paper beauty stood up, and Ying Ying leaned over and blessed her, "Concubine Chengxiang Hall Baolin Li Moyang has seen the concubine Niangniang." ”

Just made a small salute like this, and the palace maid behind her was still afraid that she would fall, so she hurriedly helped her beside her.

The concubine suddenly remembered that this was the Li Baolin who had been sick.

In the past few days in the palace, she has been sick, neither has she slept in bed, nor has she heard of having too much contact with anyone, together with Ji Lilac, who lives under the same roof, she is rarely mentioned, and it seems that she is just a nodding friend.

Although she came to say hello today, her illness didn't seem to be getting better, and she just held on.

Nianyun hurriedly asked her to sit down, and said gently: "Mo Yang, since you are not in good health, you don't have to come to say hello every day, the weather is also cold, and the wind by the lake is strong, don't blow it." ”

Li Moyang hurriedly stood up and replied: "Xie Niangniang takes care of it, it's already much better." ”

After the routine greetings, everyone dispersed, and Nian Yun called the pothos in: "Pothos, go and inquire, have the people of the Liushang Bureau deducted the harem again?" ”

Green pothos said: "This has always been a close watch for slaves and maids, and the usual rewards are not short of them, so it should not happen like this." ”

Nian Yun was a little puzzled, "Then Li Moyang has always been safe and guarded to herself, and it was also the edict of the palace himself that told her to recuperate well, and she didn't have to come to say hello." It seems that she is not well from this disease, if it weren't for the fact that she showed her face a few more times in front of the palace, so that she could have more presence in the palace, why did she hold on? ”

Green Pothos thought for a while and said, "This slave doesn't know either." However, Li Baolin is a responsible person, maybe someone is instigating something behind her, she is afraid of things, so she won't do that special? ”

Nianyun drank a cup of tea, and then seemed to think of something, and said: "Luluo, you go and ask Liufu, is there anything going on in the previous dynasty this time, or is there any movement of the Li family over there in Zhenhai?" ”

Luluo agreed to go, and came back after a while, and said: "I really asked Niangniang to guess it, the Li family is not much for the time being, but there is something wrong with Liu Bi in Xichuan Jiedu." ”

As early as the previous year, that is, in August of the first year of Yongzhen, when Li Chun had just ascended the throne, Wei Gao, the envoy of Xichuan Jiedu, died of illness, and his subordinate Liu Pi established himself as the "queen of stay".

The so-called "stay behind" is a kind of acting position set up when the Tang Dynasty's festival envoy or observation envoy is absent, and when the festival degree envoy goes out or enters the court to report on his work, he often sets up a "stay behind" to deal with the daily affairs of the festival envoy.

At that time, Li Chun first ascended to the throne, and he couldn't take care of the affairs of the court and the central government, and he needed to encircle the local forces not to cause them chaos, so he did not oppose it. At the end of the year, he simply issued an official edict to appoint Liu Pi as the deputy envoy of the festival and the envoy of the festival.

From the time of Emperor Xuanzong Tianbao, the local forces entrenched in the festival began to show a trend of tail failure, and until the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, although the generals Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi recovered Chang'an and Luoyang, but in fact, the problem of the division of feudal towns has not been completely solved.

In the early days of Emperor Dezong's accession, the power of the feudal towns became more and more difficult to deal with, so Emperor Dezong was determined to cut down the feudal domain at that time, and defeated the rebels of Weibo, Ziqing, Shannan, and Chengde who jointly rebelled, and achieved initial results.

Emperor Dezong was a feudal town against the feudal town, which caused the dissatisfaction of Wei Bo, Ziqing, Chengde and Lulong four places of Jiedu envoys, and at the same time Huaixi Jiedu envoy ** Lie also established himself as the king, Emperor Dezong hastily mobilized Jingyuan soldiers and horses to reinforce, but the soldiers mutinied when passing through Chang'an, so that Emperor Dezong fled in a hurry.

After the "Jingshi Rebellion" was finally put down, Emperor Dezong was hit by this huge blow, and the vigor of the reform of the feudal domain was exhausted, and he issued a "guilty edict", assumed the responsibility for causing the chaos in the world, and pardoned the rebellious feudal towns and pacified them instead.

After Emperor Dezong's cutting of the feudal domain was so hastily withdrawn, the power of the feudal town became more and more rampant.

For example, this Liu Pi is a very arrogant person.

Of course, Liu Pi didn't think that Li Chun, the new emperor who was less than thirty years old, could be more capable than Emperor Dezong, and after the imperial court recognized his status as the deputy envoy of the festival, he became more and more dissatisfied with a small Xichuan, so he once again had to make an inch, and made a break to the emperor, asking to get the land of Sanchuan and be the envoy of Sanchuan Jiedu.

Sure enough, after Li Chun received the excerpt, he was furious.

He was just a Liu Pi, who had been admitted to a Jinshi and the first, but he was just a small staff member under Wei Gao, and it was not enough to get Xichuan, so he dared to bargain openly with the imperial court!

Do you really dare to hand it over with such an excerpt?

Li Chun angrily threw the fold into the main hall of the Zichen Palace.

On that side, Liu Bi, who did not get a reply from the imperial court, was also very annoyed.

In the first month of the first year of Yuanhe, Liu Pi led the army to attack Dongchuan and besieged Dongchuan Jiedu in Zizhou.

Li Chun had long known that the division of the feudal town was too big to fall, and he originally had the intention of cutting the domain, but now that Liu Pi had reversed, he happened to be the first to cut him.

So he summoned the ministers to discuss and ask for Liu Pi.

Prime Minister Du Huangshang recommended Zuo Shence Army Festival to envoy Gao Chongwen, and the emperor worshiped Gao Chongwen as the secretary of the school inspection department, and also the imperial historian, and led the army of 5,000 troops.

The battle was fierce.

Although Gao Chongwen was very strict, when he entered the city, he did not commit the autumn cold, the market was not alarmed, and the frontal response almost every time Liu Bi was defeated and retreated, but Liu Pi was cunning and took ** as a hostage, and it was not easy to fight.

In February, Gao Chongwen regained Jianzhou.

In March, Zizhou was recovered.

At the beginning of June, Liu Pi's army successively built castles and fences at Lutouguan (now Beihuangxu Town, Deyang City, Sichuan) and Wanshengdui (now northeast of Deyang City, Sichuan), and stationed heavy troops to defend them, but they were defeated in eight battles under Gao Chongwen's fierce attack, Wanshengdui was captured, and Lutouguan was surrounded by government troops.

In September, Liu Pi's supply lines were completely cut off, and his subordinates led their troops to surrender. Gao Chongwen pursued him relentlessly and arrested Liu Pi, who fled to Tibet.

In this month, Liu Bi was escorted to Beijing, and he was about to arrive in Chang'an in the next few days, and together with his family and henchmen, it is estimated that he will be collectively beheaded for public display.

As soon as this Liu Pi was arrested, Li Ji, who was in a similar situation to him, was naturally sad that the rabbit died and the fox died. Li Moyang had probably heard the news that Liu Bi was escorted to Beijing, and knew that her life as a weak woman in the palace would be even more difficult, so she didn't care about her illness, and she had to show her face in front of the concubine Niangniang to show respect.

Nian Yun and Luluo were talking in the main hall, but they saw Qixi coming in from outside. He is now a small leader in the Shence Army, and he has more than a thousand people under his command, and with a little prestige, he doesn't look as gloomy as before.

However, he has to take care of the affairs in the army, and he has to take care of the affairs outside for Nianyun, and he has the position of deputy chief in the Daming Palace, and he is busy all day long, and he seems to be thinner than before.

Nian Yun greeted with a smile: "Our commander is back?" ”

Luluo dragged a crescent stool to him, and Qixi didn't refuse, so he sat down on the stool and said, "Don't make fun of the slave, no matter how big an official is outside, isn't it all the master's reward?" ”

Over the years that he has followed Nianyun, although he is a eunuch, others have to give him some face wherever he goes, all because his master looks up to him.

The pothos brought him tea: "Come on, look at your sweet mouth!" ”

Qixi took the tea and took a sip, and said, "Sister Luthos's ability to make tea is good again!" ”

Nianyun just laughed. Whether it is the former Yiqiu Palace or the current Penglai Palace, her rules are for outsiders to see. There are so many people around her when she closes the door, and she doesn't ask for them. These four palace maids and Qixi often laughed and laughed around her, and she felt that Penglai Hall was popular when she looked at it.

Qixi drank tea and took a breath, then remembered the matter and looked at Nianyun, "Niangniang, although this Liu Bi rebellion is over, depending on Your Majesty's meaning, I am afraid this is just the beginning." The forces in this place have been entrenched for decades, and according to the slaves, in the past two years, I am afraid that there will be a few tough battles to be fought! ”
