After the emperor made a promise and Liu Yan was able to preserve his political identity, the three towns of Huaixi, Huainan and Ziqing were convinced and expressed their acceptance of the promotion and demotion and entry to the envoy to count the household registration and prepare tax books.

As for the officials who were buried in the "fire" at the Yangzhou Post Station, they were finally left alone. Chen Shaoyou continued to take charge of Weiyang, as stable as Mount Tai.

However, Liang Chongyi still closed the passage of his town. After learning that the Confucius Officer Guo Xi reported him, Liang Chongyi was very frightened and uneasy. Although the court quickly exiled Guo Xi to Chaozhou, Liang was still in a confrontation with the central government.

Emperor Li Shi was preparing to initiate a final speech to the East of Shannan Road, but the power center in the capital was eager to wait for a new round of reshuffle due to Cui Youfu's death.

But this time the censor Lu Qi was the chief censor Lu Qi. First, Cui Ning sent a memorial to the emperor, hoping to promote Lu Qi to the Censor.

Before Yang Yan could react, Li Shi gave the order and directly promoted Lu Qi to the Censorate, while Cui Ning was renamed "Grandmaster of Lingzhou, Grandmaster of Shanyu Town, Grandmaster of Shuofang, and Observation Envoy of the Four Prefectures of Fufang Danyan". He was under the jurisdiction of Zhenwu and Shanyu Second Army City, and there were more than ten states including Ling, Yan, Xia, Yin, Sui, Yan, Dai, Sheng, Dan, Fu, Fang, Lin, Qing, and other powers, almost the same as Guo Ziyi before.

Yang Yan suddenly felt that the situation was not good - he was a fool, and he also understood that Cui Ning and Lu Qi had formed a new mountain, targeting his own mountain.

Not only that, although Liu Yan was moved to Guiguan Zhengwei, his party members were still in the court and were dormant. Once the situation changed, they would definitely attack him.

Yang Yan's reaction to this was to suppress Cui Ning first.

He and his followers kept reporting to each other, allowing Du Xi, the former governor of Lingyan, to take charge of Lingyan, to take charge of the queen of Lingyan, Zhang Guangsheng, the former governor of the State, to serve as the queen of Shanyu, Zhenwu, Sheng, Sui and Yin, and to let the former governor of Yanzhou, Li Jianhui, the former governor of Yanzhou, to recharge of Yanyan, Dan, Fu, and Fang.

These three sets of remaining positions are equivalent to completely dividing Cui Ning's position and power, and they are surrounded by Cui Ning, and have the power to directly report to the emperor or prime minister. Cui Ning is under the surveillance of these three, and can only stay in Fangzhou, and is constrained everywhere.

Not only that, Yang Yan also secretly won over the old subordinates of Shuofang, such as the governor of Xiazhou, the governor of Yanzhou, the governor of Yanzhou, and the governor of Qingzhou, Du Conzheng, and letting them enter Cui Ning's shogunate and "accompanying" Cui Ning, which is equivalent to inserting nails beside Cui Ning.

"Don't worry, my father..." Gao Yue, who was still in the capital for the time being, did not go to Yuanzhou to take up his post, wrote a letter to his father-in-law and asked Wei Tuotian to send him to Fangzhou quickly.

Cui Ning, who received the advice of his son-in-law, turned his back on the spot. He quickly used Lu Xiqian, Dai Xiuyan, Li Jianhui and others to visit Xiazhou and Yanzhou, and surrendered and pacified major Dangxiang tribes everywhere in the name of "recruiting Dangxiang".

After the Western Bolivia became powerful, the Dangxiang tribes were forced to migrate westward or northward. Before the Anshi Rebellion, most of the Dangxiang tribes were placed in Longyou prefectures by the Tang Dynasty. After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, most of the Longyou areas were also captured by Xifan: a considerable majority of the Dangxiang continued to move inward, and later they were mainly distributed in Ling, Qing, Xia, Yan, Sui, Sheng and other prefectures, and divided into three large tribal groups, namely the "Six Prefectures Dangxiang" living in Yan and Sui Prefectures. This group was mainly powered by the Yeli clan; there was also the "Dongshan Dangxiang" living in Qingzhou, which was named because Qingzhou was located east of Longshan, and the "Pingxia Dangxiang" living in Xiazhou.

Of course, these Dangxiang Fanhu were not purely good people. They were sometimes loyal to the Tang Dynasty, either providing military rations to the Tang army, or becoming the source of the Tang army. However, many times they colluded with Xifan and plundered the northwestern prefectures of the Tang Dynasty, becoming a confidant. Of course, when Xifan invaded, they would also plunder Dangxiang's people and livestock, causing fierce resistance from Dangxiang. Therefore, there was something similar to what we call the "love triangle" relationship between the Tang Dynasty, Xifan and the inward-moving Dangxiang tribe.

Therefore, these policies to relocate to the Dangxiang in the middle and late periods of the Tang Dynasty, but everyone knows the final outcome: in the late Tang Dynasty, Xifan and Tang, two mainland hegemony that had been confronting for many years, exploded one after another, spread in Ling, Qing, Xia, Yan and Sui, Dangxiang had been upgraded to the independent Jiedushi "Dingnan Army", becoming a local force with mixed nationality and administrative nature. After Huang Chao invaded Chang'an, the Dingnan Army continued to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty and was given the surname "Li". Later, our Song Dynasty failed to pacify this "Dingnan Army", making it evolve into the later Western Xia (emmmm, which seemed to be Vietnam, which was later in conflict with the Song Dynasty. The predecessor was also the Jinghai Army set up by Gao Pian in the late Tang Dynasty after he took back Jiaozhou from Nanzhao. Of course, this should be the pot of the Tang Dynasty. How could it leave so many invincible separatist forces for the Song Dynasty from east, west, south and north?).

Back to the topic, Cui Ning's recruitment and pacification of Dangxiang was successful. Several Dangxiang leaders were willing to join the court to accept titles from the Tang Dynasty. Thousands of Dangxiang people in the tent promised to be honest and provide food and war horses to the Tang army.

However, Cui Ning did not take the credit for himself, but quickly submitted a report to the court, praising and commending Lu Xiqian, Dai Xiuyan and others, saying that it was because of their close cooperation with me that they achieved some insignificant results.

The emperor also issued an edict to praise you, but this stimulated Yang Yan's nerves. As Gao Yue expected, he began to suspect that Lu, Dai, Du and others had secretly defected to Cui Ning, so he hurriedly summoned Lu Xiqian back to the court and became the General Zuo Longwu.

As for Du Conzheng, Yang Yan thought about it over and over again that it was impossible to stay with Cui Ning. If he had been with Cui Chaoxi, it would sooner or later be corrupted. Sooner or later, he thought about letting Du Conzheng be the governor of Yuanzhou.

Before this move came true, it aroused fierce opposition from the new Jingyuan Jieduan Zhu Li. He sent a memorial to the emperor, calling me the Jingyuan Jieduan and the governor of Jingzhou (the entire Jingyuan is under my jurisdiction). Since Gao Yue was appointed as the commander of Yingcheng, the county magistrate, and the judge of Yingtian who was subordinate to the Jingyuan Military Prefecture, it was equivalent to let Gao Yuequan be the governor of Yuanzhou, so why should he lead the governor Du Congzheng to come and build a house and spend money and food?

The emperor did not ask the court officials to discuss Zhu Li's memorials, but directly handed them to internal discussions by Lu Zhi, Wu Tongwei, Jiang Gongfu and other Hanlin scholars. As a result, Lu Zhi's view was also: "Gao Yisong is doing things here. If he sends him to the governor, it will only have a bad effect on the Jingzhou camp."

So the emperor recognized Zhu Li and Lu Zhi's views and informed Yang Yan: It was unnecessary for Du to go to Yuanzhou to be the governor.

Yang Yan couldn't help but be discouraged, but what made him even more heartbreaking was still behind.

Lu Qi, who was promoted to the position of censor as he wished, soon visited Guo Ziyi, who was idle at home.
