Chapter 1 Sand Garden

After not having to support the army, the court's finances did not seem to be very abundant.

Now there are more than 10,000 Shen Ce troops in Chang'an, barely controlling the order inside and outside the city. Although there are not as few soldiers as in history as in history, even the masses can't stop them from attacking the prime minister, it is absolutely impossible to achieve strict control of every corner.

Changan is too big!

In Jingzhao Prefecture, more than 10,000 troops were stationed in various places, suppressing the local area, maintaining the only remaining dignity of the imperial court.

There are only 20,000 or 30,000 people in total. Han Quanhui and Liu Jishu don’t even have much thought of getting power, so I really can’t get excited.

The saint took all the officials and the concubines out for two days.

In fact, the national dynasty still likes to go out to Beijing to hunt. Some even hunt from Chang'an to Luoyang. The palaces and hunting gardens along the way are ready-made.

Starting from the capital, in the southeast of Wannian, Lantian County has Dulingyuan, Mingduquanzhiye, Bailuyuan, Xindian, Lishan and other hunting grounds, which are enough for you to play all the way to Tonghua.

Tonghua also has hunting grounds such as Shayuan, Hebin, Huashan Quwu, etc. If you cross the river and take the Hedong route, there are also hunting grounds, such as Fulongyuan in Longmen County, Puzhou, Jiangzhou, and even all the way to Zezhou.

When you take the Tongguan route, there are also a lot of hunting grounds and forbidden gardens, all the way to Yuancheng in the western suburbs of Luoyang.

I am not satisfied when I arrive in Luoyang? Don’t be anxious. There are many royal hunting grounds and forbidden gardens on the way east to Fengshan, Tai.

Awesome, right? That's right.

Of course, we should also see that these are all the situation before the Anshi Rebellion.

In the case of separatist vassal states, will the local vassal commanders maintain many hunting grounds and forbidden gardens for you? How is it possible? Even many so-called forbidden gardens in Guanzhong have people hunting, chopping wood, and even opening up land and farming, which is simply uncontrollable.

The place where the saints hunted was Dulingyuan. There were many people escorting them. As the boats and cars were exhausted, some old ministers could not hold on and talked a lot.

Han Quanhui sneered when he saw this. These officials in the court were not as strong as those in their body and bones, so they were too lazy to care about them.

The saint was not very interested because he didn't hunt anything in two days.

Concubine Shu He and Zhaoyi and Li comforted each other.

"The official family, the late emperor was seriously ill. After liberating the hawks and dogs, the five yards were empty, so that His Majesty went hunting without the help of the flying hawks and dogs. This was all because Xia Shude was lazy." Shanggong Yang Kezheng looked at the saint's heroic face, felt pity and advised.

The saint was silent.

He actually had no idea, he was just unhappy. But the concubines and the palace people kept comforting him, which made his mood worse, especially after hearing the name, he was extremely irritated.

And what they said was the truth. Five floors (with houses, falcons, hawks, eagles, dogs, and later there were more new ways to play chickens, etc.) The envoys now had almost nothing to manage. The Western Regions of horses, cheetahs, and hawks were put out of tribute, and Liangzhou also did not offer falcons, hawks, and leopards.

In the northeast, in the 14th year of the Dali period of Emperor Dezong, "The tribute of eagles and harps in the Bohai Sea will be stopped every year." Later, during the Xianzong period, the tribute was resumed. However, when the Emperor Jingzong Dynasty, the emperor often went out to hunt foxes late at night and was killed by the eunuch Liu Keming, so he stopped tribute again.

Wuzong loved to play and hunted frequently. Wufang flourished again, but before Emperor Yizong died, he left a will, and all his mother was released. During Emperor Xizong, he recovered, but Chang'an was lost. What else do you say?

"The imperial edict ordered Shao Shude to offer tribute to the eagle, falcon, withered harriers, horses, cheetahs, and running dogs." The saint did not want to give face to the concubines and said casually.

"Abide by the order." Yang Kezheng immediately responded.

Concubine Shu He was a little worried. She was a very smart woman and knew that this might be inappropriate, but when she looked at the saint's face, she wisely closed her mouth.

She was in the palace, but she was not ignorant of the outside world. On the contrary, she had been careful in managing it for a long time, bribed two spies to help inquire about external news.

He was deeply worried about the rumor that Shao Shude wanted to abolish the emperor and resign himself, which was rumored by the outside world. Of course, she had feelings for the saints, but she didn't want to die either.

In history, Zhaozong was killed by Shucong, Jiang Xuanhui and others. He, who was the queen at the time, was worried that he would end up like this, so he asked to see Jiang privately and cried and begged. Jiang Xuanhui didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup he had been consumed, but he even saved Empress He. He often met the queen, comforted him, and pleaded with Zhu Quanzhong. What happened? Empress He was eventually hanged and Jiang Xuanhui was also killed.

He thought that it was unwise to provoke King Xia at this stage. It was too late to hide and hide, so why did he still attract his attention?

"Cough cough!" A cough sounded not far away, and the tenth army commander Han Quanhui came over.

When he stopped in front of the saint, he was too lazy to even perform rituals and said, "Does the saint want to give Li Keyong the governor of Youzhou?"

Han Quanhui's face was very bad. If Xiao Lu had not sent someone to tell him, he would not have known that the saint had actually found the officials of the Southern Ya Dynasty and issued an edict to settle the matter. He would soon send angels out of the capital, bringing flags, official seals, and pictures to Jinyang.

"Han Palace Supervisor, respectful, loyal, brave and wise, and has no other ambitions. Now, the traitors who defeated Yan, how can they give their flags and seal the vassals for the country?" The saint calmed down and replied.

This matter was originally discussed by him with the newly promoted prime minister Lu Jian and Wang Tuan who replaced Zheng Yanchang. Cui Yin did not argue with him, and Xiao Lu opposed it, but the sage insisted and basically decided.

Procedurally, there is no problem, and Han Quanhui is not qualified to participate in these matters. Although there are many people in history who have bribed eunuchs to serve as governors, in terms of system, it does have nothing to do with him.

"If the royal family does not commit crimes, the evil will be in chaos. What's the use of waiting for the day and night?" Han Quanhui smiled coldly and said, "Sage, please look, see, this edict may be out of the capital."

After saying that, he swayed his sleeves and left directly.

The saint was so angry that his face turned red. Li grabbed his hand tightly and comforted him softly.

He sighed secretly. Xia, Liang battles, and the eastern capital Jiru changed hands, and has been the hottest topic in the court for months.

After the official's court came to court, whenever he heard this kind of news, his face turned gloomy and unhappy.

The He family knew that the officials wanted Zhu Quanzhong to win, even if Zhu Quanzhong did not seem to be a loyal minister. Unfortunately, the prime ministers said that Zhu Quanzhong's defeat was decided, and Xuanwu and other states would gradually fall into the hands of Shao Shude. The only one who could stop King Xia was Li Keyong of Jinyang. He quelled the rebellion of Youzhou and actually controlled the four towns of Hedong, Zhaoyi, Datong, and Youzhou. King Gao of Yiding was also his ally. If he joined forces with Zhu Quanzhong, he might be able to stop Shao Shude.

When the official family returned to the harem to rest, they often muttered Li Keyong and Yang Xingmi, and it seemed that they were thinking of them as hope to bring down Shao Shude.

Alas, the court needs good news very much.

Liu Chongwang was unfavorable in the war in Shu, and he lost two consecutive games in Chengdu. So far, he has only won the Mian and Han prefectures. The Shen Ce army was not rewarded enough and robbed everywhere. Li Maozhen took the opportunity to lure him, and many people actually took over the past, which was a big disappointment.

Many people in the court said that Liu Chongwang would eventually return with no effort and failure, just like Wei Zhaodu back then.

The official family can't stand the stimulation anymore!

"Why should you be so impatient in the affairs of Youzhou?" Seeing that the surroundings were all palace officials, female historians, and middle-level officials stood far away, He said: "The King of Jin trained soldiers with armor and was brave and resourceful. He had 100,000 elite soldiers. He would attack and defeat them. The huge Youzhou was pacified. What's the matter if there was a false reputation? Your Majesty is at ease, so you can watch the changes."

The saint was stimulated when he heard the word "false name", but he did not refute it.

"It is better to send a trusted and reliable person to Jinyang secretly to tell you about the benefits and disadvantages." Shanggong Yang Kezheng whispered: "Your Majesty can indulge in hunting and numb Shude's eyeliner in the court."

"If Shude knows... it's not appropriate." The saint hesitated a little.

He remembered the words that Shao Shude sent to Liu Jishu: "There are many princes in the Li family. If there is a world, how can one be the king?"

This sentence almost always bit his heart, making him frightened, painful, angry and even crazy.

He was angry and humiliated, and fearful and worried.

He was obviously afraid of Shao Shude and didn't want to see him. He just wanted to stay away from him. For this reason, even the wife of Wei State Chen sent him out. Chen was very beautiful, calm, wise and wise. Now he is in Shao Zhe, I don't know...

But he really wanted to see Shao Shude defeated, even if the world was taken away by someone else in the end, it didn't matter. Anyway, he wanted to see Shao thief die, so he had the urge to secretly stumbling and provoke him.

But when things come to an end, I still don’t dare!

"Official family..." Yang Kezheng was a little disappointed. She was loyal to the saints, and at the same time she had a very bad impression of Shao Shude. She felt that this person was ambitious and lustful, and that he would destroy the Li Tang Dynasty in the future. If he did not suppress his speed of conquering cities and land, within a few years, the official family would probably be unavailable.

"No need to say more." The saint waved his hand tiredly, suddenly not wanting to continue hunting.

I, I, I, the dog-legged one! What is the cage of the emperor in the eyes of these powerful ministers and vassals? Now, unless someone is sent out in private, what is the use of the government orders not leaving the capital?

But when the female official Pei Zhen was sent out of the palace, she was captured by Ximen Chong and died in a bad life. I wonder if Pei had been humiliated during his lifetime, and the saint always shed tears whenever he thought of it.

Shao Pie, why do you always win battles? The saint almost sighed to the sky.

If only one defeat could be defeated, it would be better for the army to die. At that time, someone would send Shao Zhe's family to the capital. The saint suddenly remembered that after Li Shidao in Ziqing, Xianzong took his wife Wei into the harem as a maid, and suddenly became excited.

After the hunting ends, the saint returns to the palace.

On the way, I received a letter from Yang Xingmi, the governor of Huainan, to plead for Dong Chang, Yuezhou.

The saint already knew that Dong Chang was the emperor. To be honest, there was anger, but after the moment of anger, there was no turmoil in his heart, because he knew that Dong Chang was a clown after all and could not succeed.

This was the second time that Yang Xingmi had pleaded for Dong Chang, and Zhu Quanzhong also submitted a letter to request a pardon for Dong Chang's crimes. Dong Chang himself came to his senses and executed all the demon monks and alchemists in the mansion. He left his false name and submitted a letter to apologize. At the same time, he sent hundreds of trucks of treasures to Chang'an, thinking that he was offering sacrifices.

Dong Chang's offerings have always been very sufficient, and the sages have known them for a long time.

For the sake of money, he was willing to forgive Dong Chang. Besides, Shao Shude and Qian Liu wanted Dong Chang to die, so he could not let Dong Chang die.
