In China, no matter what era, no matter what dynasty, what can really determine the political situation is nothing more than several forces, imperial power, nobles, wealthy families, families, generals, warlords, and of course, in a few cases, some ZJ can also be counted. Diaphragm

In some periods, these forces coincided, and in some periods, they were relatively independent, but over and over again, what really controlled the land of China never really went beyond the scope of these forces.

All the other people, things, and things may also have some influence, but in essence they are only vassals of these forces.

As far as Chang'an City is concerned, as Li Yu was forced to abdicate by the eunuchs and the feudal towns, the power of the Li Tang royal family has weakened to a dangerous level, and even reached the verge of being completely hollowed out.

Because of the unexpected factor of Guo Rong, the Emperor Li Yu has an extra big guy in his hand who is easy to use and can be called a divine weapon.

With the help of Guo Rong's weapon, the Emperor Taishang brought his personal talents into full play:

From the twenty-first year of Zhenyuan to the fourth year of Kaiyuan, in these five years, he used the deterrence of Guo Rong's weapon to win over one party, suppress one side, weaken one side, and at the same time frantically strengthen his core strength.

Inadvertently, in this way, the power and power of the Li Tang clan and the Chang'an court were unprecedentedly enhanced. Diaphragm

Especially in the Chang'an, Guanzhong, and Guanlong areas!

Guan Longxungui, who was once the pillar of Datang, was corrupted and deteriorated, and his tail could not be dropped, Guan Longxungui, who had become a maggot parasitic on Datang's body, was no longer what it used to be after round of combing, cleaning, and rectification.

In the Guanzhong region, the remaining nobles were either new nobles supported by Li Yu through the forbidden army, or they had completely become vassals of the Li Tang royal family.

As for the remaining forces, they have at least maintained their submission in terms of expression, but this part of the people has been greatly weakened in terms of economic strength, political strength, and human strength.

In fact, in the past five years, it is not only Guan Longxun who has been greatly weakened!

First, he suppressed the eunuch rebellion in Chang'an and regained control of Chang'an;

Immediately afterwards, he defeated the invasion of Jiannan by Tubo, recovered Longxi and Longnan, forced Tubo to sign a peace agreement, and weakened Jiannan by the way; Diaphragm

reforming the power structure of the imperial court and setting the direction of reform in the Tang Dynasty;

The good breed was introduced, and the living people were innumerable;

The large-scale development of Fugu coal has provided countless people with livelihood opportunities;

Supporting technology accumulation and innovation, giving full play to the motivation of Datang's skilled craftsmen, making the technology and technology that were on the verge of peak more than a thousand years ago make leaps and bounds again;

The use of a world map accidentally obtained from Guo Rong has leveraged the enthusiasm of the entire Datang, making the overall style of Datang change from a simple involution to a simultaneous involution and external expansion;

By taking advantage of the massive wealth looted from the hands of Guan Long Xungui and Shandong tycoons, the first industrial base prototype was established in Guanzhong and the first shipbuilding base prototype was established in Jiaodong;

On the surface, he quelled the rebellion of Li Shidao in Pinglu Town, recovered the twelve prefectures of Pinglu, forced Huaixi, and weakened and deterred Jiannan, Weibo, Chengde, and Lulong, several of the most ambitious feudal towns; Diaphragm

He secretly killed Ren Dijian of Fengzhou, who seemed to be loyal and good, but actually had bad intentions, regained control of the Hetao Plain, defeated the strength of the old Uighur aristocracy, and changed the situation of the Uighurs on the steppe again;

The oath of "the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies in the community", countless children of the clan who have spilled blood on the border have greatly improved the bad image and reputation of the clan among the people since Princess Gaoyang;

……

Through this series of actions, within the entire Tang Dynasty's sphere of influence, Guan Longxun, Shandong nobles, local feudal towns, Tibetan Uighurs, and Liaodong ethnic groups have all been weakened to varying degrees.

Even the Buddhism and Taoism that don't seem to have much to do with the world have been impacted.

After all, although the Emperor Taishang did not explicitly say that he would help the Tao and destroy the Buddha, it was the genuine Taoist disciples who renewed the life of the Emperor, and the Emperor's hard work was long

There are too many Daomen disciples in the forbidden army with the Ying army as the core.

With the keen insight of the civil officials of the Tang Dynasty, it is not difficult to make what they think is the correct judgment, under the will of Chang'an and the local officials, what Buddhism has endured is not just the degree of cutting flesh, but being knocked out of the bone and sucking the marrow. Diaphragm

Daomen seems to be supported, however, Daomen is more advocating Taoism and naturalness, following the trend, rather than collecting money, although there are crooked melons and cracked dates in Daomen, but compared to the bald asses of the first landlord of the Tang Dynasty, it is still much better, of course, more importantly, the real elite in Daomen has been basically absorbed into the forbidden army, so the influence of Daomen in the people has not expanded.

As for the eunuch group, which was so prosperous that it could even force Li Tang's emperor to abdicate, it had completely withdrawn from the political stage of the Tang Dynasty.

The reason why the eunuchs were able to flourish for a while was because by chance they controlled the strongest field corps in the hands of the imperial court, the Shence Army.

With the disappearance of the Shence Army, the power of the eunuchs still came from the emperor himself, and with Li Yu's dislike of the eunuchs, it was logical that the eunuch group was eradicated.

It's just that the eunuch group can be eradicated, but the other forces are not so easy.

As the saying goes, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, compared with the eunuchs whose power comes entirely from the emperor, other sources of power are fundamentally different from the eunuchs.

Guan Long Xungui is already closely related to Li Tang, who established the country by force, it can be said that if Xun Gui is strong, Li Tang is strong, if Xun Gui is weak, Li Tang is weak, and Xun Gui has degenerated into a parasite, so Li Tang is not far from complete collapse. Diaphragm

The Shandong family, the gate valve, and the wealthy family have been inherited for thousands of years, and more importantly, they control the interpretation of Confucianism, and Buddhism and Taoism are derived from ZJ.

Of course, these things don't mean much in the face of absolute strength, but Li Yu's performance after abdicating as the emperor is too amazing.

The number of shots is not much, but every time it hits the point, the shot is steady, accurate, and ruthless, so that in the back, as long as the Emperor Taishang is still in Chang'an, no one dares to be a demon at all, let alone a demon, and no one dares to oppose even the words of the Emperor Li Chen.

Li Yu took Guo Rongdong out of Chang'an, in addition to rescuing the eldest princess on the grassland, he may not have the idea of luring the unscrupulous elements in Chang'an City to make trouble.

It's just that Li Yu didn't expect that he took Guo Rong around the Tang Dynasty for a whole circle, which not only did not cause unscrupulous elements to cause chaos, but made his deterrence improve again.

When Li Yu returned to Chang'an, the forbidden army of the four armies and twelve guards led by Guo Rong had formed a framework, and Li Yu could do it without scruples, whether it was Guan Longxungui or the wealthy families in Shandong, they were very honest.

Under the circumstance that they surrendered on the surface and did not directly rebel, with Tubo Liaodong on the outside and Hebei Domain on the inside, Li Yu really couldn't find a chance to eradicate them. Diaphragm

The inability to eradicate the hidden dangers of the Tang Dynasty in his lifetime has also become Li Chen's last regret before his death.

It's just that some things are really fateful.

Emperor Taishang Li Yu led the army into Chencang originally just hoping to exert residual heat as the existence of a safety valve, but he didn't expect that this safety valve really played a role.

For Li Yu, while the Tubo people are bringing a crisis, it may not be an opportunity, an opportunity to uproot and completely eradicate the hidden dangers of Chang'an.

It's just that although Li Yu has an idea, whether this idea can be implemented, or whether he dares to implement it, still depends on Li Chun's decision.

And there is only one thing Li Yu can do, in Chen Cang......

Fortunately, Li Chun may not have the same experience as Li Chan that is difficult to replicate, but Li Chun is not a mediocre talent, but also an emperor with a heart for the world and ambitions. Diaphragm

From the very beginning, when he learned the news that the Tubo people had entered the Kou Pass from Dasanguan, Li Chun made almost the same decision as Li Xuan, but Li Chun did not have enough confidence in himself at that time.

It was Li Xuan's last letter that brought vital information to Li Xuan and strengthened Li Chun's determination.

It's just that not everyone can think of Li Yu, Li Chun's father and son's thoughts, even if they do

No one may dare to believe it.

In fact, just as Li Yu and Li Chun's father and son right guard messengers arrived in Chang'an and brought the news of Tubo's entry into Chang'an to Chang'an, the cow ghosts, snake gods, and ghosts in Chang'an City almost entered a state of madness.

Assassins, meticulous soldiers, and dead soldiers who were raised outside Chang'an City, killers and rangers who were hired with heavy money, and all kinds of speculators and careerists with ill intentions began to flock to Chang'an.

The suppression of Jin Wuwei and the pulling out of the camp of the Chang'an Forbidden Army made Chang'an City almost an undefended city on the surface, and all the ill-intentioned and ambitious people quietly took out their hidden heavy armor, strong bows, crossbows, and Mo knives, and prepared to start the final carnival.

When the news of Tubo's entry into the Kou came from Dasanguan, the ghosts and spirits prepared, brewed, and planned, and it took three whole days in series. Diaphragm

The main force of the forbidden army has left, but the emptiness of Chang'an will definitely not last long, and the ghosts have determined from various ways that in order to make up for the emptiness of Chang'an City, Jing Zhaoyin has been ordered to recruit people from the citizens of Chang'an to supplement the city defense of Chang'an City.

Therefore, these guys who are dizzy have chosen what they think is the only window period, the first day of the ninth month, to look at the sun.

As everyone knows, this is exactly in the hands of Li Yu and Li Chun's father and son.

In order to close the net today, Emperor Li Chun, the main battle faction's Zaifu, important ministers, generals of the forbidden army, Jing Zhaoyin, and the Dunhuang Eldest Princess's Mansion almost did their best.

Compared with the mixed opposition party, the counterinsurgency force is undoubtedly neat and capable.

63,000, after training and assessment, they were then used as a supplement for battle damage;

12,000, Jin Wuwei, who has formed a complete combat effectiveness; Diaphragm

25,000, temporarily conscripted by Jing Zhaoyin, as retired soldiers, failed to recruit the forbidden army but trained Zhuang people;

And this whole 100,000 soldiers, armed to the teeth, will become the main force of action in Chang'an City.

They will carry out a round of large-scale cleansing of Chang'an under the guidance of all the officials, fast arresters, and bad people in Jingzhaoyin, Chang'an County, and Wannian County, as well as the officials of various cities and squares, and the swordsmen of the Dunhuang Princess's Mansion.

In addition, the 20,000 Shenwei troops who stayed in Chang'an had already entered the palace through the Xuanzhong Gate of Daming Palace before dawn, liquidated the anti-party participation in the court, and guarded the Daming Palace and Taiji Palace.

With the bell tower and drum tower in Chang'an City ringing at the same time, the entire Chang'an City seems to have woken up in an instant.

In the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace, Li Chun began to purge the courtiers, Beijing officials, and nobles, and in Chang'an City, the time to collect the net has also come.

In Chang'an City, outside the Taiji Palace, with the sound of the drums of the Bell and Drum Tower, the recruits of the forbidden army, as the main force of the counterinsurgency, entered the city from the twelve gates of Chang'an City, east, west, north and south at the fastest speed. Diaphragm

At the same time, all the gates of the city squares in Chang'an City, all the palace gates of Daming Palace, Taiji Palace, and Xingqing Palace were all closed, forming a closed unit to isolate the connection between all the market squares.

After all the recruits of the forbidden army, who were the main force of the counterinsurgency, entered the city, all the gates of Chang'an City were closed, and all the unscrupulous elements who entered the city were completely blocked in Chang'an City.

And the 100,000 soldiers and horses quickly began to divide labor according to the predetermined plan.

Jing Zhaoyin, a Minzhuang recruited from the citizens of Chang'an, was responsible for guarding the gate and the city gate according to the area to which he belonged after the gate was closed, and patrolling and patrolling the gate.

The left and right Jin Wuwei, with a total of 12,000 men, were responsible for guarding all the main transportation arteries in Chang'an City, as well as all important government offices and market squares, in order to minimize losses in the process of counterinsurgency.

At the same time, as a formed forbidden army outside the palace, they will also become the main mobile force that Chang'an has become, ready to provide support in other directions at any time.

The 63,000 recruits of the forbidden army were formed into twelve provisional combat regiments and six independent engineer battalions according to the establishment of the Changying Army. Diaphragm

The basic framework is composed of veterans of the Changying Army who remain in the Forbidden Garden, and the instructors of the Recruit Training Center are experienced, loyal and reliable, serving as military academies at all levels of each of the twelve provisional regiments and six independent engineer battalions.

Twelve of these provisional regiments served as the main force of today's operation.

Six independent engineer battalions, also composed of recruits from the boot training camp, carried the existing equipment and began to assemble the eight-ox crossbow and small catapult directly on the spot after entering Chang'an City, on the open space in front of the city gate.

There is only one task for these six independent engineer battalions, and in today's clearing process, when the twelve temporary regiments encountered a blockade, the artillery mounted, bombarded the damn!

In order to open up Hexi and rescue Qiuzi, Guo Rong set up a set of intelligence systems covered by caravans, and the main force in this intelligence system was the swordsmen trained by He Shuang, the heir of the Sword Master, and Gu Lina, the princess of the grassland, who were good at hiding, tracking, and assassinating.

If another person controls such an amazing power, there is a high probability that the family will be directly raided and exterminated, but with Li Yu and Li Chun's trust in Guo Rong, the two tacitly chose to acquiesce.

These swordsmen nominally belonged to the Eldest Princess of Dunhuang's Mansion, and with Li Chun's request for help, Yan Qing lent this power to Li Chun without any hesitation. Diaphragm

In the previous three days, these swordsmen had already locked on all the key targets through various means.

And the target they have in their hands will become the primary target of the twelve provisional regiments as the main force.
