Chapter 5: You're Pushing Me, Are You?!
Li Yu kept thinking on the way back, what should he do?
The Tang Dynasty is in danger, as long as he follows the emperor back to Chang'an, he will be a bird in a cage, and he will not want to leave Zhu Quanzhong's sight in this life.
He remembered that in history, his father Li Ye was forced by Zhu Quanzhong to move the capital in April of the following year, and all the common people and wealthy business officials in Chang'an moved to Luoyang, the eastern capital.
In order to break everyone's thoughts, Zhu Quanzhong demolished all the palaces and pavilions, threw the wood into the Wei River, and went down the river to build houses in Luoyang.
Since then, the ancient capital of Chang'an has no longer had the vitality of the imperial capital and lost its historical status as the imperial capital.
How could Li Yu dare to follow the emperor's father back to Chang'an?
As for where to go? He had his own idea in his heart, that is, to go to Nanyang.
Nanyang is connected to Chang'an across Wuguan, connected to Luoyang through Luyang Pass, and also has a hole in Xuchang and Bianzhou from the hinterland of the Central Plains.
To the south, it is connected to the Han River and the Yangtze River by a waterway.
Nanyang is located in the basin, with many rivers, connecting the north and south, and the transportation is convenient.
Among the many territories, Nanyang is a treasure of heaven and a treasure of outstanding people, and it is the "imperial hometown" of the Guangwu Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Li Yu has studied historical maps countless times in college, and has always praised the geographical location and natural conditions of Nanyang.
Now, when it came time for him to choose a development base, Li Yu chose to develop in Nanyang without hesitation.
As for whether it can succeed or not, it depends on God's will.
So when he saw his father Li Ye, he put forward the idea of going to Nanyang.
As the nominal helmsman of Li Tang Tianxia, Li Ye's power and influence are getting smaller and smaller, and he can no longer control the situation, so he just occupies the name of righteousness.
Li Ye was worried that there would be opposition.
The first person to oppose was Zhu Quanzhong.
Zhu Quanzhong is ambitious, can he let Li Yu leave Jingshi? I don't think it's easy!
The second possible opposition was to the courtiers, especially Cui Yin, who was degraded and reinstated. This guy took it upon himself to attract Zhu Quanzhong, a big tiger, without even discussing it with him, and he didn't even do what he looked like, which is really unreasonable!
They wanted Li Yu to die at the beginning, but now that Yu'er has left Beijing, can they agree?
The third person who may oppose is Feng Xiang's master, Li Maozhen. Li Maozhen, like Zhu Quanzhong, both wanted to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the weaker the royal family, the better, how could the royal family disperse the world?
When Li Ye pondered, Han Quanzhu interjected in a low voice: "Sage, a few years ago, Zhu Quanzhong occupied Deng, Tang, and Sui, and just returned Zhao Kuangning to Jingxiang Jiedu for only two years, it is better to give Nanyang in Dengzhou to King De, so that His Royal Highness can have no worries about food and clothing!" ”
Han Quanzhu hates nothing more than Cui Yin is Zhu Quanzhong now, and at this juncture, he still wants to make Zhu Quanzhong bad!
Can he not see Zhu Quanzhong's thoughts? I just want to let the royal blood go out and make you have some scruples.
"This ...... Zhao Aiqing won't have an opinion, right? ”
Speaking of which, Zhu Quanzhong's capture of Nanyang was five years ago.
Everyone knows that Zhu Quanzhong of the Xuanwu Army and Li Keyong of Hedong are mortal enemies.
That year, Li Ke used his generals to support his allies, but he was defeated and had to live in Huainan. In order to let these people come back, Li Keyong planned to let them go to Jingxiang's territory and return to Hedong by detour, so he wrote a letter to Zhao Kuangning, the envoy of Jingxiang Jiedu, and the messenger was intercepted by Zhu Quanzhong, which gave him an excuse to attack Jingxiang, and occupied Dengzhou, Tangzhou and Suizhou in one fell swoop.
Zhu Quanzhong's power was too great, and most of the area between the Yellow River and the Huai River was occupied by him alone, although he was very deferential to the royal family now, Li Ye knew in his heart that such a strong feudal court would not be able to control it for a long time.
Like Zhu Quanzhong, Li Keyong, Li Maozhen, and Wang Jian, these are all disobedient heroes, can Li Ye, as the emperor, not know their thoughts?
No matter what the purpose of Han Quanzhi is, his words are still very much in line with Li Ye's thoughts.
Zhu Quanzhong had already written to ask to move the capital to Luoyang, Li Ye found a lot of excuses not to go, Li Maozhen is an example, he still dared to go to Zhu Quanzhong's territory?
In fact, the place he wanted to go to was Jingxiang.
For so many years, Zhao Kuangning of Jingxiang has been serving the imperial court, and there has never been a shortage of rice, grain, taxes and silver, this is a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, and I can rest assured that my son will go there.
Li Ye wanted to move the capital to Nanyang and enter Jingxiang's territory, but looking at the current situation, neither Li Maozhen nor Zhu Quanzhong would let him get his wish.
Since you can't go by yourself, let Yu'er go, what if there is any turnaround?!
Thinking of this, Li Ye announced that King De's fiefdom Nanyang would allow the opening of the government to build a mansion, and let him immediately move the feudal domain to take office.
The first thing that was alarmed by this incident was Li Maozhen.
Of course, he didn't want the prince to have a territory outside, which would add variables to his plans.
But the current situation is that Zhu Quanzhong has completely disrupted his plan, and his plan has to be changed, and the emperor is still the final outcome.
Since his plan is bankrupt, then don't think about it for you, Zhu Quanzhong, I support King De to become a vassal, anyway, the future variables have little to do with me, as long as I can block Zhu Quanzhong.
This edict reached the Xuanwu Army camp outside Fengxiang City, and Zhu Quanzhong immediately smashed his teapot!
Outrageous!
Isn't Datang a prince without a real seal? What's the stubble now? Take my territory as a favor? Do you want to do it yet?!
In Zhu Quanzhong's opinion, Jingxiang's territory is his, why? Just because Zhao Kuangning is his ally.
Li Maozhen also brought a letter, which means that the two sides can negotiate peace, but if King De wants to settle for Nanyang, Lao Zhu, you must not interfere.
Okay, you Li Maozhen, you don't let me feel better, don't think about it!
He was about to send troops to attack the city, but Li Zhen, the deputy envoy of the mastermind beside him, hurriedly stopped him, stepped forward and said: "The lord is angry, please listen to me." ”
"Hmm!"
Zhu Quanzhong suppressed his anger and rubbed his fat face.
"The deputy envoy has something to say, please speak."
Li Zhen said with a smile: "Lord, this is a good thing, you can agree." ”
"Oh? Meddlesome? ”
Zhu Quanzhong's eyes rolled, but he didn't think clearly.
"My lord, what do you think, King De is only fifteen years old, and he is still a person with moral faults, what great things can he do? Now that the crown prince has been passed to Li Zuo, he is no longer insignificant. ”
As he spoke, Li Zhen stroked his beard proudly and said: "Don't say it's just Nanyang County, even Zhao Kuangning's territory is ours, let him guard it for us, the prince's fiefdom, who else dares to grab it?!" ”
"Oh! Yes, yes, yes! ”
Zhu Quanzhong was a little bit relieved by Li Zhen, and his heart was much more comfortable.
"However, I haven't seen this Li Yu yet, it's best to let him come to the camp, let's test it!"
Zhu Quanzhong is still not at ease.
In his heart, this Li Tang world will be his sooner or later, and he can't let a smart and capable prince make any trouble outside.
"Yes, I'll do it."
Li Zhen asked people to bring a letter to Li Ye in Fengxiang City, which roughly meant that King De was in Nanyang, and King Dongping resolutely supported the sage's decision.
Li Maozhen did not object, and used this to blackmail Zhu Quanzhong, which Li Ye could guess, but Zhu Quanzhong actually agreed, which made Li Ye a little surprised.
He's not afraid that Yu'er will do things outside?!
In fact, Zhu Quanzhong didn't care about Li Yu going to the domain at all, he believed that Zhao Kuangning was beaten by him and begged for mercy, what big waves can you make as a prince with a loss of virtue?
Li Maozhen was set up by Zhu Quanzhong now, and in the letter, Zhu Quanzhong also sent a gift list, which was a gift to King De to Nanyang. King Qi, do you want to see it!
Li Maozhen's teeth were crushed, and she said to Li Ye without smiling: "Sage, since King De is a vassal domain, I will send some guards here, Fengxiang City is small, there are no good things to give, so give His Royal Highness King De some money." ”
Fengxiang Mansion has been besieged for more than a year, and the food has long been gone, and the only thing left is copper coins.
Li Maozhen is now in-law with Emperor Li Ye, and Princess Pingyuan is Li Maozhen's daughter-in-law, which is the result of Li Maozhen's coercion and temptation a few months ago.
"Aiqing has this intention, and King De will be grateful."
Li Yu originally had the attitude of trying it out, but he didn't expect that the development of things had exceeded his expectations, Li Maozhen could agree, Li Yu was sure, and whether Zhu Quanzhong could agree or not, he really couldn't say. This time, Zhu Laohu agreed, and let his heart hanging in his throat be relaxed.
Seeing his father say this, Li Yu hid the joy in his heart, and said with gratitude: "King Qi's good intentions, this king remembers it in his heart. ”
"King De is polite, our family doesn't talk to each other."
Li Maozhen's eyes rolled, and said to Emperor Li Ye: "Sage, King De is not young, this time the road is far away, and there are a few people around to take care of it, if you don't dislike it, there are a few clever and sensible girls in my house to send to King De, I don't know how His Royal Highness ......."
Can Li Ye not know what Li Maozhen means, this is to put a few nails on Li Yu's side, but if you know it, you can't help but agree, now the family is holding it in the hands of others, and this is also the reason why she promised Princess Pingyuan to marry.
"Love Qing Meiyi, as long as King De likes it."
Li Yu knew that these feudal towns must have eyeliner inserted, this is to know their every move.
"Hehe, there are still beauties in King Qi's family?"
What Li Yu said was a bit unpleasant, meaning what good goods can you give to the woman?
In front of the emperor, Li Yu was so squeezed, which made Li Maozhen feel ashamed and annoyed.
As the envoy of Fengxiang Festival and the king of Qi, can there be no beauty at home? Originally, he really wanted to fool him, as long as he could report some news at any time by Li Yu's side, but he didn't expect Li Yu to be stupid, and he just used words to squeeze him, which meant that if there was no good goods, don't send them.
"Oh, saint, Your Highness, there are really a few stunning ones in Weichen's family, but there is no chance to show them, and today these beauties will be given to King De."
Li Maozhen didn't care, but in fact, her heart was dripping blood. These four beauties were collected by his subordinates, he has not been in the mood to enjoy them, several godsons have asked him, Li Maozhen is not reluctant, today is to feed the dogs!
Yes, I'll see what you Zhu Quanzhong should do!
The news that Li Maozhen sent four stunning beauties came, which made Zhu Quanzhong enough.
Zhu Quanzhong is lustful, but Mrs. Zhang is sick in bed now, and he has never cheated, just because of his respect for Mrs. Zhang, but this does not mean that he doesn't like other beauties.
Along the way, he didn't rob other people's wives, all because of Mrs. Zhang, so he could only watch but not eat.
Okay, you Li Maozhen, you're on the bar with me!
Zhu Quanzhong looked at Li Zhen, Li Zhen lowered his head and didn't give him any ideas.
In the matter of men and women, Li Zhen didn't dare to persuade this lord, didn't you see the corners of King Dongping's mouth foaming, and he was on fire!
"I'll also send four beauties."
