Xiao Yunhe shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Wen An." You're still young. Many things...... You won't understand. You have to believe me, I really didn't want to hurt my father and the crown prince. Not now, not in the future. ”

"Why...... Why do you want to hurt each other like this when you are a family?" Princess Wen'an lowered her head again, and said bitterly and sadly. "I want to call you Brother Xiaomo like before. But I don't know why, I can't call it. See you like this today. I feel...... You've completely changed. It's not the little Mo brother I know. You don't love me anymore, you haven't taken the initiative to come to see me after you have been back in Beijing for so long. You still have to fight hard with your father and the crown prince, and you will fight to the death...... Are we a family, why should we do this? Can't we live together in peace?"

Xiao Yunhe could only shake his head helplessly and smile bitterly: "I'm sorry, Wen An." I don't want that either. In fact...... Things are more complicated than you think, don't be sad. In the future, it will be fine. ”

"No, it won't. It's never going to get better. Don't treat me like a child. I know. Princess Wen'an was full of sadness, and said lightly, "Brother Crown Prince is going to give up the East Palace and let you live in." Soon after, his father and emperor will also abdicate. You're going to be emperor soon. There cannot be two emperors in the world. So. The father and the crown prince and brother will definitely not have good luck...... Our family. It's about to start killing each other. ”

"No, it won't. Xiao Yunhe looked at Wen An with pity and guilt.

"In a few days...... Wen An's voice became lower and lower, "I will go to the Taoist monk and become a Taoist aunt." I don't want to look at Brother Xiao Mo, killing each other with my father and the prince. ”

"I said, no!" Xiao Yunhe's voice raised a lot.

"Brother Xiao Mo......" Wen An raised his head, his eyes were already full of tears, and said resentfully, "I am here to bid you farewell today." Actually, I shouldn't have come...... How I hope that Brother Xiao Mo will always be the same as before in Wen An's mind. I can throw myself into your arms and let you hold me to catch butterflies in the royal garden. But...... Something like this will never happen again. Wen An has grown up, and Xiao Mo's brother is also going to be the emperor. The emperor can't play with others. The emperor likes to kill...... They will also kill their loved ones. Wen An didn't want to see such a thing happen to Xiao Mo's brother. So...... Wen An wants to go, go far. Since then, I will never return to my country. ”

"Wen'an, don't ...... like this" Xiao Yunhe felt for the first time that he didn't know what to say with his clever tongue. Faced with such a weak little woman, he didn't know how to convince the other party. In fact, the more usually weak a person is, once a decision is made, the more difficult it is to change it.

Wen An had already sobbed softly, and bent down to give Xiao Yunhe a few shakes, and said in a choked voice: "Brother Xiao Mo, you have to take care of yourself...... Don't hurt your father and the crown prince's brother. Actually, they are all pitiful and pitiful...... Also, please Brother Xiaomo, say goodbye to Fang Ci on my behalf. He still owes me seven paper cranes, and I don't want him to pay them back...... I—I'm gone. ”

Wen An stood up and was about to get out of the carriage. Xiao Yunhe stretched out his hand and wanted to hold her, but ...... I really can't think of what kind of reason to use to leave her.

Wen An, the son, left Xiao Yunhe with a running back and disappeared into the night.

Half an hour later. Xiao Yunhe still hasn't come back to his senses.

He sat in the carriage in a daze, and suddenly felt a sense of loss.

Isn't it...... While building imperial power and hegemony, it is inevitable that some people will be hurt and some sincere feelings will be lost. Wen An, wouldn't it be said that she looks like a son-in-law and formed a fatherly love knot deep in her heart, which is her sincere and simple feeling. It's really impressive. She and Fang Ci ...... I was a playmate in the Han Palace. Could it be that the little girl's heart has already opened her love?

Xiao Yunhe felt that he was really cruel and ruthless.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he sighed softly. Muttered to himself: Continue to be ruthless, continue to be cruel...... It doesn't matter how much I lose alone, I'm a person who doesn't even have my life left. I just need to regain my strength, and that's enough!!

Imperial power and hegemony. Never believe in tears!

Dawn, dawn.

Xiao Yunhe was groggy in the carriage and did not fall asleep all night. Outside the carriage, the sound of soldiers walking in armor could already be heard. The crowd is already busy. But no one bothered him.

Xiao Yunhe walked out of the carriage, moved his stiff body, and checked the wound, but fortunately there was no major problem.

"Lord Hanwang, did you have a good rest last night?" Ma Sui greeted him with several generals.

"It's ok. Ma Dashuai has worked hard. Xiao Yunhe nodded and smiled at him. It can be seen that Ma Sui has not slept all night, his eyes are red and he looks tired.

Ma Sui smiled slightly wryly: "The most important people today are all here." The last general did not dare to be careless, so he had to personally patrol the post all night. My lord, just now in the palace of the king of Han in the national capital, someone sent a message. said that Xichuan Wu Yuanheng had already led 50,000 horses to the national capital. Stationed in the west of the national capital, ten miles of military tun, waiting for the lord's military orders. ”

Xiao Yunhe's heart moved slightly: Wu Yuanheng is here. I'm finally in the capital. With the addition of the four armies of Li Sheng, Li Huaiguang, Chu Yan and Yan Zhen, who had already arrived in the national capital, and the 100,000 army under Ma Sui, the number of troops in the Guannai has reached 230,000. And this military power will be firmly in their own hands.

"The Decree of the King...... Let Wu Yuanheng's general Song Liangchen lead the Jianchuan Army to fly the dragon cavalry, plus all the regular cavalry of Li Sheng, Li Huaiguang, Chu Yan, and Yan Zhen, to come to Zhongnan Mountain to meet them. Xiao Yunhe said, "Before noon, be sure to set up a large array of thirty miles of horse army to welcome His Majesty back to Beijing." ”

"Yes!" Ma Sui agreed, and took the generals around him to pass the order.

Xiao Yunhe walked towards the tent of the emperor and the crown prince. The old man and some of Li Yu's concubines and children all gathered in a tent not far away, lifted the curtains, and looked at the King of Han from a distance, but no one spoke. Xiao Yunhe glanced over there, and there was a burst of fear in everyone's eyes, and the curtain was immediately lowered.

Xiao Yunhe smiled slightly bitterly, stood outside the tent, and bowed his hand: "Your Majesty, your son Li Mo asks to see you." ”

After a while, I heard the old man's tired and old voice from inside: "Come in." ”

Xiao Yunhe walked in, but was taken aback by the scene in front of him.

Old man, it seems that he has aged twenty years overnight!

In fact, he is not yet fifty years old, and he has always been reasonably well maintained before, looking at most thirty-five or sixteen. But now...... He is even older than Ma Sui. His face was dull, his eyes were dull, his demeanor was demented, and even his hair had turned gray.

The old man moved his eyes, glanced at Xiao Yunhe with a blank expression, and said in a dry voice like muttering to himself: "Wen An is gone." I will never come back in the future Xiao Yunhe's face twitched slightly, silent.

The old man propped his hands on the couch, shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "I am really useless, and I am not worthy of being an emperor at all." Tang An is seriously ill, and I can't even treat her, and Wen An wants to run away, and I can't keep her. I can't even be the father of my two daughters, how can I be a good parent of the world?"

Xiao Yunhe stood there silently, speechless.

The old man at this time, where is he still the previous emperor who disgusted himself. He just...... A father. A father who lost his daughter one after another, and then was betrayed by his son.

"Father...... Let's go back to Beijing. After a long time, Xiao Yunhe opened the conversation box and said quietly, "100,000 iron horsemen have come to Zhongnan Mountain to greet them." ”

"Is it necessary?" said the old man, dumbfounded. "A piece of hemp rope can invite me back to Beijing. Are you showing off your absolute strength to the royal family in the Guan, and showing off your majesty to the people of the world?"

Xiao Yunhe was cold: "If you want to understand it like this, it's okay." You know, now, there is no better way to make the imperial capital of Guannai peaceful than absolute force. Only when there is internal stability can we resist external aggression. ”

The old man smiled bitterly and waved his hand gently: "Okay then." Let's go. You go out, I want to change my clothes. In order to take care of your face and prestige, I also have to take care of my own face. Xiao Yunhe turned around and prepared to walk out.

Behind him, the old man's dry and deep voice came: "You are cold and ruthless. It's really outrageous!"

Xiao Yunhe's body shook slightly, paused for a moment, and strode out again.

Ruthless?

This may be the difference between me Xiao Yunhe and you.

Some things, some times, this heart should be hard. You have to be tough. In my eyes, in my heart, there will always be more of the overall situation and the world than you. The reason why I don't kill you and the prince. The more important reason is that the current situation needs, and by the way, I took care of my personal feelings.

If you want to do great things and refuse to sacrifice your feelings, it is impossible.

No one can understand my heart. You don't understand Xiao Yunhe, and you don't understand the current Li Mo. Everyone is saying that the world is the emperor's land. In fact...... The emperor is also the world, and he should not belong only to himself. He is destined to be lost, to make sacrifices that others cannot imagine and understand.

If you want to concentrate on being this emperor...... You must first use the sharp blade of ruthlessness - castrate your feelings!

In the third year of the Great Qi Zhenyuan Dynasty (787 AD), the twenty-seven-year-old prince Li Yu submitted the above table to request to withdraw from the East Palace and go out to beg for recuperation on the grounds that he was suffering from severe wind disease. Please ask the emperor to appoint another prince to extend the fortunes of the country.

When the news broke, the whole country was shocked.

The mutiny of King Han that happened before has made the rivers and mountains of Daqi tremble a few times. Now that the emperor and the crown prince have returned to the imperial capital, it looks like they are about to regain their peace again. However, the prince suddenly broke out such a fierce news, which really surprised the people of the world and the people.

Although it is clear to anyone with a discerning eye, this is an inevitable outcome after the Han Dynasty's mutiny...... But just like hearing thunder after lightning, I couldn't help but be shocked.

In the imperial capital, it was suddenly boiling.

Seeing that the public opinion reacted so strongly, the emperor and Xiao Yunhe did not rush to make a decision. Instead, they gathered all the ministers and discussed the matter slowly in the court every day. The purpose is to give everyone a time to come back to their senses.

At the same time, more than 100,000 troops from Jianchuan, Shannan, Shuofang, Jingyuan, Fengxiang and other places, plus Ma Sui's men and horses, had surrounded the national capital like an iron bucket and firmly grasped the situation. There were a few royal families who were dissatisfied with the King of Han who wanted to break into the court to make trouble, but they were also completely frightened by the earthquake of the more than 200,000 troops. In addition, the Guo family, the Wu family, and some of Yan Shizhang and Li Mian's protégés helped the King of Han to build momentum, and the national capital, which was about to become a mess, slowly quieted down again.

In the face of absolute force of impeachment and very clear facts, whether willingly or unavoidable, the nobles and common people of the national capital accepted this fact by default.

At this point, the emperor also agreed to the prince's request in accordance with the will of the people—to depose the prince Li Yu as the virtuous king. The crown princess is a virtuous princess, and her family migrated to Zizhou under the rule of Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu to recuperate and treat diseases. Hundreds of households and 30 servants were given to the imperial court, and the Chengdu Mansion was appointed by the imperial court to be responsible for the expenditure of the Xianwang family, and was given for life according to the prince's standard.

The old man sat on the dragon chair, listening to the edict pronounced by the eunuch as he read the holy decree he had promulgated, and his face was as dead as ashes.

Above the court. It's also quiet.

The prince complained of illness, and the king of Han stood at the head of the hundred officials. Behind him were Prime Minister Lu Zhen, Pei Yanling, Dou Shen, Wang Pi, Wang Shuwen and other officials of the DPRK and China. Wu Yuanheng is only the chief of the Han Dynasty now, and he is not qualified to go to the court. In the other line of military general trains, there are Ma Sui, Li Huaiguang, Li Sheng, and Chu Yan. It can be seen from this side. The power of the Han King is overwhelmingly dominant. Although on the side of the civil officials, the number of people in the Han Dynasty is not too large, but now, the prince himself is no longer fighting for his own withdrawal, so. He had no competitors. Although those prime ministers did not have a good impression of the Han Dynasty or even had some disgust, they also changed some concepts through the personal persuasion of the crown prince. Meantime. The fact that there are more than 200,000 troops and the fact that they are clearly in front of them also makes these people have no choice.

The so-called deliberations in the court are actually nothing to discuss. The old man of the emperor issued the last holy decree on the earth, that is, to change the king of Han as the crown prince and prince, and immediately enter the East Palace.

It seems that it is all a natural thing.

In the Daming Palace, a grand crown ceremony was held. Xiao Yunhe took off the purple deer dragon robe on his body and changed into a yellow crown robe. A series of activities to worship the heavens and ancestors emerge one after another. It took a few days.

Historically, such a thing as re-establishing a prince is the most taboo thing in a dynasty. The prince is the foundation of the country, and replacing it is tantamount to a drastic change in the whole country. For there may be a qiē accident. Xiao Yunhe is mentally prepared and ready to block at any time. The water comes to cover the earth. It's just that for now, at least the area around Guannai is still stable under the impeachment of the 20th National Army.

One monarch stands, one monarch abolishes, since ancient times. Li Yu took his family and prepared to leave the national capital. In order not to expand his influence and cause riots, he specially chose a time to leave the capital city in the middle of the night. Ma Sui, who was guarding the nine gates of the national capital, naturally made an exception to open the city gate for him in the middle of the night.

Outside the gate of the national capital city, by the pavilion of ten miles.

Ma Sui personally escorted the prince and sent him here. Lu Zhen, Wang Pi, Wang Shuwen and some other old officials of the East Palace also sent ten miles, reluctant to give up, tears stained their clothes. Li Yu said goodbye to them, and he was also a little sad.

"Ma Dashuai, Mr. Lu, you all go back. Send you a thousand miles, and there will be a farewell. Li Yu smiled and said to these people, "Xiao Wang feels that your kindness should be remembered for a lifetime." ”

Lu Zhen's thick eyebrows tightened, and his black beard was raised lightly, and he bowed solemnly: "Prince...... Take care all the way!"

"I'm no longer a prince, I'm a virtuous king. Li Yu was still smiling and said, "Mr. Lu, from today onwards, you will do your best to assist my crown prince and brother." He is a hero and a wise man who appoints people to be virtuous. I believe that under his command, you can make more meritorious deeds and live in vain in this life. Ma Dashuai, two Mr. Wang, you must also be loyal to the crown prince and brother, and fulfill your duties for Daqi. ”

Ma Sui and others arched their hands one after another and said goodbye to the prince.

At this moment, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind everyone. Looking back, a black-clad iron rider galloped over. The leader was a young man in a bright white beard - it was actually the new crown prince!

"Imperial brother......" Li Yu was stunned.

Xiao Yunhe didn't wear a yellow robe, firstly, because he was afraid of swaggering, and secondly, he didn't want to show off and stimulate Li Yu. He got off his horse and walked in front of Li Yu, glanced at everyone, and said, "Doesn't King Xian treat me as a brother anymore?" ”

Li Yu arched his hand and said, "The imperial brother is injured, and he has just entered the main East Palace, so he is busy with affairs...... Brother, don't dare to disturb. Leaving the city in the middle of the night is also for fear of causing unnecessary disturbances. Please also ask the royal brother to forgive his sins. ”

"Hmm......" Xiao Yunhe nodded lightly and glanced at the people next to him. Ma Sui and the others consciously took many steps back.

"Li Yu ......" This is the first time Xiao Yunhe has called him by his name.

Li Yu was slightly stunned, and hurriedly arched his hand: "What is the admonition of the imperial brother?"

"This is going to Xichuan, the road is difficult and dangerous, and you must take care of your body. When I arrived in Xichuan, I wrote a letter to report my safety. I brought a hundred Wyvern-ridge. They are all people who are used to galloping on the dangerous land of Shu Road. I'll let them escort your family into Shu, and I will have a guide and escort. Xiao Yunhe said, took off the brocade robe cloak he wore on his shoulders, and said, "Shu is very humid, and we northerners are easy to get wet." This collar brocade robe. When I was in Chengdu, Princess Han used the craftsmanship of Dongnuguo to tailor it for me, and it was very comfortable to wear and very applicable. Today, to you. ”

"This ...... Never. This is something that the imperial sister-in-law gave to the imperial brother!" Li Yu waved his hand again and again to refuse.

"Come on. Put on. Xiao Yunhe insisted on draping it on his shoulders for him with his own hands, and tied the ribbon. After a few glances, he smiled: "It fits perfectly." We are two brothers, and our body is really similar. ”

Li Yu said with a little excitement: "Foolish brother...... How can you take away what the royal brother loves?"

"It doesn't matter. Your sister-in-law knows that I gave you something, and she won't say anything. It's a big deal to cut another collar for me. Xiao Yunhe said with a smile.

Li Yu was slightly stunned in his heart. Secretly thought to himself: He clearly knows that I am ...... to the women of the Dugu clan With special feelings, he also gave me this collared robe. I have to say. You are indeed an extraordinary man of great power and a heart...... Alas, in this respect I am far inferior to you. The more generous you are, the more embarrassed I am to think about that woman anymore.

"Thank you, Brother Huang. Li Yu solemnly arched his hand and said, "Please greet the imperial sister-in-law and the prince on behalf of the foolish brother, and wish them a safe life." The royal brother stayed, and the foolish brother asked to leave. ”

Ma Sui and the others saw Li Yu turn around and walk towards the car. They also stepped forward one after another and bowed goodbye: "King Xian has a safe journey!"

"Thank you, please go back!" Li Yu stood by the side of the carriage and shouted to them, "There will be a date later!"

"There will be a date later!"

One hundred Wyvern-dragoon warriors. The car escorting Li Yu's family slowly disappeared into the night.

Ma Sui et al. Somewhat awkwardly standing there. Xiao Yunhe smiled at them and said, "Let's all go back too." Don't look at me like that, do you think I'm going to blame you? On the contrary, you have come to see you off for ten miles without forgetting your kindness, and I admire your loyalty and honesty. Don't worry about King Xian anymore. When he arrives in Shudi, he will definitely live well. ”

Ma Sui and the others breathed a sigh of relief and bowed down: "Thank you, Lord Prince!"

Lord Prince?Xiao Yunhe smiled softly in his heart: It sounds like I'm really not used to it.

The people got up and returned to the capital. Xiao Yunhe and Dugu Fan rode in front, and Ma Sui and others followed.

Dugu Fan is now the prince's personal guard. In order to take care of his habits, Xiao Yunhe asked the craftsman who was the supervisor to tailor a pair of armor for him. One of the most special is the helmet. Originally, the Mingguang armor helmet did not show much skin on his face, and his face was covered with a layer of dark golden thin armor on the front door, covering his face. Although it still looks like an indifferent metal expression, it is far less cold and eerie than the bronze mask it used to be. Whenever he accompanied the prince out, Dugu Fan would put on this pair of armor to protect him. So much so that the people in the entire capital city now regard this iron-masked general as a marker for the new crown prince.

When he was a little farther away from everyone, Dugu Fan said in a loud voice: "Why don't you tell Li Yu that the Dugu clan he fell in love with before, that is, the sister of Princess Han, is actually a man?"

"Is it necessary?" Xiao Yunhe smiled, "just let him think about it in his heart, although it is only meaningless." If I did, he would be embarrassed. Sometimes, a good lie is not a bad thing. At least it's more useful than suing him for cruel things. ”

"You're so bored. Dugu Fan said angrily. He didn't change his attitude because of the change in the identity of the person in front of him. It's still the same lukewarm and hard-standing look.

Xiao Yunhe laughed and slapped his horse and ran forward. Dugu Fan's sword did not hurt the vital point. Coupled with his physique that is different from ordinary people, these days, his body has been basically fine. Now that I'm riding a horse, I don't feel any pain.

Straight into the national capital, until the imperial city. Several gates were opened for him in turn. In front of the Chongming Gate of the East Palace, Song Liangchen, the new governor of the Sixth Rank of the East Palace, stood by the gate like a black god, and roared loudly: "Welcome the prince back to the palace!" Behind him, hundreds of flying dragon riders who were guarding here roared together.

"Good work, Song Liangchen. Xiao Yunhe smiled, "Are you still used to this errand?"

Song Liangchen gritted his teeth and smiled: "If you can be with the prince, you can get used to any kind of errand." The East Palace is a great place wow, big and beautiful, haha!"

Xiao Yunhe also laughed a few times, and prepared to ride inside. Suddenly remembered something, beckoned Song Liangchen to the side, and said, "Where is your little goblin?"

"Uh......" Song Liangchen was suddenly embarrassed, laughed a few times, and said, "The prince also knows about us?"

"Stop talking nonsense, talk about it quickly?" Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but laugh.

"It's been brought to the national capital!" Song Liangchen laughed in a low voice, "It's in my military camp." I'm ready to marry her. ”

"Okay. Later, I asked Wu Yuanheng to pick a date for you and get things done. Xiao Yunhe smiled, "I'll give you another house." Anyway, he's also a general!"

"Haha, thank you prince, thank you prince!" Song Liangchen was overjoyed, and kowtowed when he fell to the ground.

"Alright, get up. We don't need to talk about this kind of politeness between us. Xiao Yunhe said, "Go ahead and get busy with your business." ”

"Yes, I'm going!" Song Liangchen got up, ran to the city gate happily, and shouted to those big-headed soldiers, "Cheer me up! My lord has returned to the palace, be careful!"

"Yes!" the sergeants were in high spirits, and their roars almost shook off the tiles. Song Liangchen laughed happily.

Li Yu abdicated to make way for Xian, and the real power of the court fell into the hands of Xiao Yunhe without any suspense.

Despite this, Xiao Yunhe also felt a little difficult and tricky. The reason is simple, because he has never been officially in charge of court affairs. After leaving Beijing for a few years, the personnel above the court have changed greatly. Few were people he was familiar with.

This is a fatal problem.

In order to govern the country and the people, the first thing to bear the brunt of is to have a good relationship with the people. Tong guò Shi came to help. Now, Xiao Yunhe has almost gathered the best and most powerful generals in the world today. However, there are very few literati. An important reason for such a situation is that over the years, he has spent more time in battles. When he was in Xichuan, he recruited some scholars, but only Wei Gao and Xue Cuncheng were particularly outstanding. Wei Gao stayed in Xichuan, and Xue Cuncheng and Wu Yuanheng entered Beijing together. With them, there were only Du Huangshang and Li Jingluo.

For this situation, Xiao Yunhe felt a little headache. The old man can abdicate at any time and let the crown prince take charge of the country, but the premise is that Xiao Yunhe can pick up this burden himself. As it stands, there are still problems. Back then, the eighteen bachelors in the Qin Palace, elite pillars such as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were all among them, forming the most outstanding think tank of the King of Qin. Nowadays, the people are indeed a little thin.

Xiao Yunhe set his sights on the Prince Chongwen Pavilion left by the former prince Li Yu.

The scholars in the Hanlin Academy were the emperor's think tank and staff, and the Chongwen Hall was the prince's special talent staff reserve center.

It seems that Li Yu also paid special attention to this aspect. There are not a few people in the Chongwen Pavilion.

Xiao Yunhe made an appointment with the highly respected Li Mian, and Wu Yuanheng, Xue Cuncheng, Du Huangshang, Li Jingluo and others to compare and inspect the people in the Chongwen Hall one by one.

Li Mian is already 80 years old, and his physical condition is much worse than in previous years. But he has been in the court for many years, and he is also the prince of the Li family. In later generations, Zhiyan Shizhang became the unyielding champion of the DPRK and China, and everyone looked up to him. Xiao Yunhe was very fortunate that there was finally such a teacher to help him. Coupled with Du Huangshang and Li Jingluo, who had been officials in the imperial capital, it was not difficult for Xiao Yunhe to learn more about these people in Chongwen Pavilion.

There are more than 60 bachelors in the Chongwen Pavilion. Mixed. After a few days of comparison and investigation, Xiao Yunhe, together with Li Mian and others, selected some of the most outstanding people.

Wang Pi and Wang Shuwen naturally don't need to talk about it. Although the outside world has different evaluations of these two, they are both the most loyal staff of the former prince Li Yu, and their abilities and talents are not bad. Public and private. Xiao Yunhe didn't abandon these two people. In addition, Wang Shuwen's chess skills are outstanding, and Wang Pi writes well, which is quite an appetite for Xiao Yunhe. These two people were the first to join the new Prince Land Staff Group. Then the two unanimously recommended Wei Zhiyi and joined together. Xiao Yunhe is naturally the more the merrier, and the more comes, the better will not refuse. Not to mention. Wei Zhiyi is also a very assertive and capable person.

Among all the scholars of Chongwen Pavilion, the most famous is undoubtedly Kong Chao's father, one of the six Yis of Zhuxi. This person is a descendant of Confucius. Erudite and talented, he is the best at debating, elegant and loyal, and he is also quite favored by Xiao Yunhe. Originally, the old man surnamed Kong had no good impression of the new prince who squeezed out Li Yu, and he didn't even get sick, but Xiao Yunhe treated him politely and personally came to the door to ask for advice, and finally used some sincerity and the Tao strategy in his womb to influence Kong Chao's father, so that he agreed to go back to office. Kong Chao's father has a special status, and his appearance makes people in the world comment on the prince's land. Suddenly it was much better. The officials and nobles in the capital city were also impressed by him.

In others, the level of ability is somewhat uneven. However, the two people who are particularly strong in geography have particularly attracted Xiao Yunhe's attention and interest. One of them is Jia Tan. He is in his 50s. This person has a lot of research on geography and likes to delve into the geographical works of his predecessors. Since four years ago. I was about to draw the most detailed map of the present day, the "Map of Hainai Huayi". The map includes not only the Daozhou counties of Daqi, but also as far away as Japan, the Uighurs, the Western Regions, and Nanzhao. In addition, he is also editing the "Ancient and Modern Counties and County Roads Four Descriptions" that are matched with the map. It would be a feat to accomplish these two things. Not to mention that they will have an understanding of the customs and customs of the world, and they will also greatly benefit from marching soldiers in the future. After all, the right time and place are indispensable. And what Li Jifu did was similar to Jia Tan, and the two were also friends. Li Jifu likes to study water conservancy, climate and geography, and has made many investigations and comparisons with various states and counties in Daqi. Including the customs, water conservancy, weather, and even the deployment of troops and horses, they have been investigated and recorded in detail.

Such people are a huge wealth for a country. Xiao Yunhe praised and encouraged Jia Tan and Li Jifu, and recruited these two special talents to his side. At the same time, there are not a few characters in the Chongwen Pavilion. From the calendar to medicine, from the military to agriculture, it is all involved. While the level of competence of these people may still need to be improved, at least they are now well established.

Therefore, for the Chongwen Pavilion bachelor left by Li Yu, Xiao Yunhe's approach is: accept all the orders. Never let them have the feeling of going to tea and cold trees falling apart. At the same time, Zhang Bang is recruiting talents, but anyone who has a skill or outstanding knowledge, regardless of his background, can come to the East Palace to recommend himself. At the same time, Xiao Yunhe also encouraged the people around him to recommend more virtuous people for himself, and the more the better. If you make a good recommendation, you will be rewarded, and even if you don't make a good recommendation, there will be no punishment.

The Chongwen Hall of the East Palace is like a gradually brightening star, spreading the light of the prince to the land of China. Starting from the national capital, the world's scholars, students and aspiring people are like carp crossing the river to move closer to the prince.

In fact, Li Yu also tried his best to recruit famous and talented people back then. But he, the crown prince, does not have Xiao Yunhe's domineering and courage at all. Although Li Yu was the eldest son of the old man, he didn't dare to make it too obvious in front of his father, and he didn't dare to make any big moves. Even if he recruited staff, he was cautious for fear of upsetting his suspicious father. Now Xiao Yunhe is different, he doesn't have to care about anyone's feelings at all - just the lion's big mouth and extremely greedy recruitment. The more recruits you have, the better the evaluation of the prince by the people of the world, the more stable your position will be, and the stronger your strength will be. After his accession to the throne. The stronger the foundation.

To fight the world, we must rely on military horses and generals, and to govern the world and stabilize the foundation, it is the literati and gentlemen who have to come. This is a true truth through the ages. Xiao Yunhe is not only the emperor who immediately wins the world, but also is familiar with governing the country and the world. He clearly knew that it was time to have a good relationship with the reader.

Having said that, no matter how many people in the Chongwen Pavilion and the prince's side become, Wu Yuanheng and Xue Cuncheng. will always be his most hardcore confidant. For many heavy incidents, Xiao Yunhe first discussed with these two people.

Ten days after entering the East Palace, Xiao Yunhe drew up a list of the above and took it out to ask the respected Li Mian to cut it.

Although Li Mian is old and inconvenient to move, his brain is still very good. The eyes can't see clearly. Xiao Yunhe read it to him personally.

"What, you let the old man be the prince and teacher?" Li Yi heard a place, interrupted Xiao Yunhe, waved his hand again and again, and said, "No." The old man is definitely not up to the task. After Mrs. Yan. No one in the DPRK and China will dare to take on this post. ”

Xiao Yunhe thought that Li Mian was being modest, and said with a smile: "Xuan Qinggong, you were originally my mentor...... You can't do this position as a prince and a teacher. There was no one else who could do it that day. ”

"Yes. To Xiao Yunhe's surprise, Li Mian actually said with great certainty.

"Who?" Xiao Yunhe was naturally a little puzzled.

"Have you ever heard of the white-clothed prime minister Li Mi?" Li Mian looked at Xiao Yunhe, but his dim eyes were shining.

"Yes!" Xiao Yunhe said, "I have heard of this person many times. But after the Battle of Mukden, he couldn't hide. This person can be called the first strange person in this dynasty. Since the Anshi Rebellion, he has helped each other several times, and has made great contributions to the thieves with great wisdom. Several emperors and the current saints. are all favored by him, regarded as a mentor and friend, extremely intimate, and is a veritable teacher of the emperor. If he wants the high-ranking officials that ordinary people dream of, it is simply at his fingertips. But he was in the court. The heart is in the mountains and rivers, and the world is a little stable. He retreated and retreated. It is said that after the battle to defend the fortress was stopped for a while, Li Mi, who had been hidden for a long time, appeared in front of the emperor and told him something. But then, I didn't see anyone else. Some people say that he has attained the Tao and ascended to immortality, or he lives in seclusion in the famous mountains and rivers and does not ask about the world. ”

Li Mian laughed hehehe: "This old god stick, who is younger than me, how can it be so easy to fly immortals and gain the Tao? The smartest thing about Li Mi is that he is not greedy for power, and he always retreats in torrents. This is also an important reason why any emperor has been very kind to him in the past few decades. More importantly, this person is definitely a genius that is rarely seen in a century! To put it simply, it is also the most familiar to adults -- this person's military talent is extraordinary. When the Anshi Rebellion broke out that year, he released the bold words of the south wind sweeping away the dust, and really put forward the strategy and tactics to the imperial court to exterminate the Anshi rebels. Guo Ziyi and others also listened to his plan, and won many battles before they finally succeeded. As for why he didn't appear again after the Battle of Mukden...... There is also a secret anecdote, not too many people know about it. At that time, the saint was worried that there was no one around him to compete with the adults, and Li Mi was not allowed to resign again no matter what. So, he ordered Li Mi, who was in the Daomen, to eat meat and marry a wife. It didn't take long for Li Mi to escape by death. ”

Xiao Yunhe was surprised: "How did the teacher know about these things?" Li Mian laughed heartily: "Of course, that dead Taoist friend sued me himself!"

"Huh?" Xiao Yunhe looked at in surprise, "So, the teacher knows where Li Mi is now?"

Li Mian was on crutches, stroking his long beard and laughing: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you." ”

When Xiao Yunhe heard this, he was overjoyed. I thought about it, could it be that Li Mi is in Li Mian's house? !

I was about to search in the side hall next to me, when I suddenly heard a hearty and energetic laugh in the elegant room in the side hall of the study: "Duke Xuanqing, Duke Xuanqing, I can't imagine that you are Qingshan I, and you will betray my friend when you die!"
