Han Xi finally talked about this matter, and his meaning was very clear.

I just hope that the court will not get too excited.

Just watch the excitement, don't get too hot-headed and make any mischief.

In the previous expedition to Hedong, Zhu Wen screamed the most fiercely, but he did not put in any effort and concentrated the main force to attack Shi Pu.

And this time Li Keyong's betrayal gave Zhu Wen time to digest Shi Pu's power. In the Central Plains, only brothers Zhu Jin and Zhu Xuan were left in a corner of Shandong. It was a matter of time before they were annexed.

This is an example of how to make a fortune silently.

The surge in power of Zhu and Wen provided prerequisites for the alliance between Tang Ting and Li Keyong.

Judging from Zhu Wen's series of strategies, there should be a very powerful counselor beside him. Li Ye remembered that this person was named Jing Xiang.

At present, Han Xie's strategy is not bad at all.

"The three of us will meet in the Wuying Hall of Daming Palace in the evening." Li Ye pondered for a long time before saying that it is better to discuss such an important matter in person.

After saying this, it was getting bright and it was time for breakfast.

Han Xie resigned.

The palace cooks brought food, big buckets of corn porridge.

Li Ye is not picky and eats with the boys.

After eating, he continued to stand in line. Many people felt that standing like this looked like a fool. Only Li Ye knew that the beginning of an army is to cultivate overall consciousness.

I have to say that the quality of the children in Chang'an City is still relatively high. Today they are much more handsome than yesterday. They are all straight and straight, and their energy is much stronger than yesterday.

Li Ye is an easy-going person, but he is very strict during training.

It's understandable if you don't do well, as long as you work hard, but if you don't obey orders, it's an attitude problem, and he drove away seven more people in the past two days.

After standing in the queue for a day, it was quite tiring, and Li Ye was also very tired. Zhaozong's physical foundation was not very good, which is why Li Ye insisted on training with him.

The body is the foundation of everything. Several accomplished emperors in the late Tang Dynasty died because of poor health.

Sima Yi was in good health and had to endure all the great people to have the last laugh.

Therefore, the body is an important part of Li Ye's great plan.

In the evening, it was pork as usual, but the pork in the Tang Dynasty was not as delicious as that made in later generations. It was basically big meat slices cooked with water shield. Li Ye, who was bombarded by the delicacies of later generations, really couldn't eat it.

There is no way, this is the Tang Dynasty, and Dongpo Pork did not come out until the Song Dynasty.

The young men ate it with gusto. Ordinary people would not eat meat or fish once a year.

In fact, people in the Tang Dynasty were not used to eating pork, and the dignitaries liked to eat mutton. However, by the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were armies of beasts that cannibalized human flesh everywhere, so it was good to have pork.

Li Ye also thought about having the opportunity to cook braised pork or two, but unfortunately there was no soy sauce and sugar was a luxury, so he had to give up.

Everyone was tired today, so Li Ye stopped telling stories and asked them to rest early.

He is also preparing to give them a big "surprise" tomorrow.

During the Taizong Dynasty, Wuying Hall was considered one of the best halls. After the Huangchao Rebellion and the Zhumei Rebellion, it was basically in ruins, but the structure did not fall down. Like the Tang Dynasty today, it is swaying in the wind and rain.

When Li Ye arrived at nightfall, Zhang Chengye and Han Xi were waiting for a long time in black clothes. They saw Li Ye dressed in short clothes, like a farmer who had just finished working in the fields, and they couldn't help but look at him. Immediately,

Zhang Chengye burst into tears, "My slave is incompetent and I have made everyone feel wronged."

Han Xie was also devastated.

The mighty Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was reduced to this.

Li Ye secretly laughed in his heart. As a modern person, what he couldn't stand the most was the emperor's various attires and red tape, so he tried to save trouble by wearing the same clothes as the boys, but he didn't expect to make the two of them feel sad. Li Ye helped Zhang Chengye up: "

There is no need to be sentimental, the Tang Dynasty is in danger right now, it is time for us to rise up and work hard, why should we stick to small details?"

Zhang Chengye is twenty years older than Li Ye. He is very energetic and full of righteousness, but he is too humble in front of Li Ye.

"Everyone has killed the slaves."

What bothers Li Ye the most is that he is treated as if he is a slave owner. "We are not outsiders, so we don't need to be so polite in the future."

Li Ye spoke, and the two of them were grateful.

It's not easy to meet, so I'll save you all the useless nonsense.

After listening to Han Xi's strategy, Zhang Chengye nodded and said: "Zhiguang is a great strategy. It is imperative to form an alliance with Hedong. However, I am afraid that Hedong alone cannot suppress Zhu Quanzhong. We still need to contact Yang Xingmi to contain the north and the south so that Zhu Wen has no time to go west."

, we have time to calmly clean up Guanzhong."

"What General Zhang said is true." Han Xie said with admiration.

Li Ye also admired Zhang Chengye's meticulous thinking, "Who can be sent as an envoy to Hedong, Huainan, and Sichuan?"

Zhang Chengye said: "Slave... I have met the King of Jin in the past and know his temper. It is better for me to act as an observer in Hebei."

Han Xidao said: "I traveled to the south of the Yangtze River in the past, and I also had some popularity in the Jianghuai River. I went to contact Yang Xingmi, and then moved to Shuzhong to form an alliance with Wang Jian."

Li Ye is 80% sure that the alliance will be successful.

After all, if you can become a big boss, your vision is absolutely no problem. Forming an alliance with the imperial court to deal with Zhu Wen is not only upholdable in the interests of justice, but also in line with the interests of Li Keyong and Yang Xingmi.

It is also in Wang Jian's interest to deal with Li Maozhen and fight for Xingyuan, the gateway to Shu.

Interest is the most stable foundation.

However, both of his confidants had left the capital, and Li Ye felt a little flustered. Moreover, he didn't know when he would be able to come back. If Li Maozhen got nervous and came to invade the country again, without Zhang Chengye in charge, Li Ye had no confidence that Shence's army would be able to do so.

Guard Chang'an like last time, not to mention the undercover Han Quanjie. "If you are not here, if something happens in the court..."

Zhang Chengye said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I am promoting loyal people to positions in the Shence Army. Even if Sun Dezhao and others seek refuge with Li Maozhen, they cannot take them away!"

Han Xie said: "I recommend one person, Zhao Chongning, who is currently a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He is loyal, upright and elegant. He can draw a line between China and foreign countries, and everything in the court is under his nose and nose."

Li Ye felt relieved now.

Zhang Chengye added: "Hebei is in turmoil, and heroes must come out in response to orders. When I go, I will recruit talents for Your Majesty!"

Li Ye's biggest problem now is the lack of people.

Throughout the entire Tang Dynasty, talents are like crucian carp crossing the river. However, starting from the Niu Li party government in the Xianzong Dynasty, the talent selection mechanism of the Tang Dynasty was severely damaged. The imperial court was unfair in recruiting scholars, the imperial examinations were in vain, and important positions in the court were basically controlled by aristocratic families.

.

Fanyang Lu family, Longxi Li family, Zhaojun Li family, Qinghe Cui family, Boling Cui family, Taiyuan Wang family, Xingyang Zheng family, Jingzhao Wei family, Hedong Pei family, Lanling Xiao family. A large number of low-level talents have no way to serve the country.

, they can only defect to the feudal towns in various places to make the feudal towns stronger and stronger.

Even in the current imperial court, one can catch a glimpse of Cui Zhaowei, Cui Yin, Qinghe Cui family, Wei Zhaodu, Jingzhao Wei family, Pei Che, Pei Zhi, Pei Shu, and Hedong Pei family.

Huang Chao failed in the imperial examinations several times and gave up before starting his great rebellion.

The great chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty was actually a conflict between the imperial court, which represented the interests of the aristocratic families, and the vassal towns, which represented the underlying forces.

The result is obvious, and the fate of Datang in history explains everything.

If Li Ye wants to succeed, he must move his butt and stand up again.

Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty would have to sink along with these aristocratic families.

He, Li Ye, would also have to be drowned in the tide of history.

Zhang Chengye didn't know what Li Ye was thinking, so he coughed and asked, "What other worries does your Majesty have?"

Li Ye really remembered that he wanted to form an alliance with Li Keyong, Yang Xingmi, and Wang Jian, and the court would finally show some sincerity.

But at present, there is only an empty shell left in the Tang court. Apart from the name, there is basically nothing to do with it. After thinking about it, he said: "How about making Yang Xingmi the King of Wu and Wang Jian the King of Shu?"

Zhang Chengye and Han Xi were silent at the same time.

Li Ye knew the historical context. Sooner or later, these two people would be crowned kings. Their flesh had already been swallowed up in their stomachs. So what would it matter if they admitted it or not? It would be better to be more generous.

Should they be asked to learn from Li Maozhen and lead troops to Chang'an to get it?

He could see clearly, but the two of them couldn't.

This is tantamount to poaching the Tang court.

Han Xi said: "Your Majesty..."

Li Ye stopped his advice and said, "There is no need to persuade. The situation in the court is like this. We can only be pragmatic and abandon all unnecessary pretexts."

Righteousness is a double-edged sword. When you are strong enough, you are invincible. But when you are not strong enough, you will hurt yourself.
