Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 29 Lingwu
Just when Li Yan was recruiting troops, Jian Xia took a group of life-stream players gearing up to Dashui Gorge, preparing to build an iron factory in Dashui Gorge.

The cold winter wind blew into Shuofang from Longyou Road, and the new emperor Li Heng, who was in Lingwu, walked out of the temporary palace wrapped in fur.

Winter in Lingwu is really too cold!
Looking at the snow all over the ground, Li Heng missed the warm winter in Xijing very much.

"Everyone, it's cold outside." A stern eunuch appeared from nowhere, and put a bright yellow cloak on Li Heng's shoulders.

Li Heng touched the brand-new high-grade silk and satin brocade cloak, and asked suspiciously: "The master craftsmen of Si Baojian have all followed the emperor to Shu, where did this cloak come from?"

The eunuch put on a flattering face and said: "Everyone, this is the embroiderer of the house servant She. She has been embroidering for two consecutive months since His Majesty ascended the throne. At least it caught up with today's heavy snowfall."

"Fang Aiqing has a heart." Although Li Heng's tone was flat, Yu Chaoen, who was familiar with him, knew that Fang Xianggong's flattery was right this time.

Fang Pushe is Fang Guan who is now the Shangshu Zuopushe and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He is also the minister most trusted by Li Heng in the Lingwu court.

And this stern eunuch named Yu Chaoen was during the Mawei Mutiny, and Yu Chaoen was just a low-level eunuch of the Yellow Gate.

But Yu Chaoen stood in line with the prince Li Heng at the time, and Du Jianfang, who stayed behind as Shuofang Jiedu envoy, persuaded Li Heng to go north to Lingwu.

Later, with the support of all the ministers, Li Heng ascended the throne in Lingwu, and Yu Chaoen was also awarded the Sangong Prosecutor, in charge of Li Heng's personal guard.

Nowadays, in the Lingwu court, Yu Chaoen is compared to Gao Lishi from the previous dynasty, and he is the most trusted eunuch by His Majesty's side.

After watching the snow scene for a while, Li Heng couldn't help but said: "I thought that when I came to Shuofang, I could gather rebels and quell the rebellion of security bandits with a single call. But I didn't expect that Bianqiao was defeated and [-] elites were buried in vain!"

Speaking of this, Li Heng couldn't help throwing down the cloak on his body, and then stepped on the cloak with his feet and said, "Apology! What's the use of pleading! I can't wait to kill this old man!"

Yu Chaoen lowered his head, the big defeat at Bianqiao that Li Heng said was the defeat of the [-] Tang troops led by Prime Minister Fang Guan at Bianqiao.

After Li Heng ascended the throne in Lingwu, he did not use Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, who had outstanding military exploits, but let the civil servant Fang Guan lead an army of [-] to counterattack the two capitals.

Instinct went well, and Fang Guan had arrived at the temporary bridge not far from Xijing.

Unexpectedly, Fang Guan didn't know if he was stupid in reading, so he used the fire ox array of the Spring and Autumn Period, tied flammable objects on the ox, and rushed towards the army of Anlu Mountain.

But this Fang Guan didn't read the military books thoroughly. He only knew how to use the fire bull formation, but he didn't adapt to local conditions.

It happened to be against the wind at that time, and An Lushan ordered his soldiers to beat their shields to make a loud noise. The fire bulls were frightened and rushed into the Tang army's camp.

Fang Guan was defeated, Tang Jun killed 4 people, and finally returned to Lingwu with only [-] remnants.

The loss of soldiers and generals this time made Li Heng continue to stay in Lingwu for the new year.

Fang Guan fleshly pleaded guilty, Li Heng finally accepted his plea in order to appease his subordinates.

He was still appointed as Minister Zuo Pushe and Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but basically deprived Fang Guan of his right to participate in political affairs.

Yu Chaoen lowered his head, he was also asked by Fang Guan to accept his gold before helping him present the cloak.

But I didn't expect everyone to have such an attitude. It seems that Fang Guan has lost weight in everyone's hearts.

"Let's keep a distance from Fang Guan in the future." Yu Chaoen made a secret decision in his heart.

A close servant like Yu Chaoen relies on the emperor for honor and favor, so Yu Chaoen quickly made a decision to stay away from Fang Guan.

The prime minister was finished, but the saint didn't want to deal with him immediately, lest he leave a bad reputation of being mean and ungrateful.

It seemed that he had been prime minister for a while, and Yu Chaoen immediately decided to change his partner.

Li Heng stepped on the cloak for a long time, until he was sweating profusely before he said: "Don't talk about the thief, I don't know how the weather in Central Sichuan is now, whether it has snowed or not."

Yu Chaoen immediately understood Li Heng's meaning, and he said: "Everyone, I heard the message from over there that the emperor is reciting poems with his ministers every day to mourn Yang Taizhen."

Hearing this, Li Heng's anger finally dissipated. Yang Taizhen was Yang Yuhuan. When he was in Maweipo, Emperor Li Longji had to execute Yang Yuhuan under the pressure of mutiny soldiers.

Until now, Li Heng still remembers Yang Yuhuan's crying.

"Humph", Li Heng snorted coldly, not even Yu Chaoen beside him heard it.

If it was true, how could Maweipo execute Yang Yuhuan that day?At that time, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army shook their swords and struck their shields, and Li Heng could clearly see the appearance of Emperor Li Longji agreeing to all the conditions of the Forbidden Army without hesitation.

What's more, when Li Heng was the crown prince, he was watched by the emperor every day, and he walked on eggshells every day.

How much true love the Tian family has, Li Heng knows best.

However, filial piety is still the foundation of the country. Although Li Heng was dissatisfied with the emperor, he still said: "The land of Shu is prosperous, and it is not as prosperous as Xijing. It is a pity that I can't recover the two capitals yet, and take the emperor back to Beijing for the New Year!"

Yu Chaoen immediately understood what Li Heng meant.

In July, when Li Heng ascended the throne in Lingwu, Fang Guan invited Ying to go to Shu, where the emperor abdicated. After that, Fang Guan was able to overwhelm all the meritorious officials who persuaded him, and even overwhelmed Guo Ziyi to become prime minister.

What Li Heng was most afraid of was not the Anlu Mountain where the rebels were in the two capitals, but the Emperor who was in the middle of Shu!

Although the emperor abdicated!But after all, the emperor has been the emperor for decades!
Tian's family is selfless, let alone the current one who is always targeted by the emperor before he ascends the throne, so don't live too aggrieved.

What Li Heng is most worried about is that the two capitals will not be able to attack for a long time, and if someone is tempted to support the emperor and restore him.

That's why Li Heng rejected the strategy of Zhibing Guo Ziyi's step-by-step strategy of going to Hedong first, and used Fangguan's strategy of driving straight in and directly attacking the two capitals.

Now that Fangguan was defeated, Guo Ziyi's northward faction gradually overwhelmed the southward faction. Guo Ziyi is leading troops into Hedong, trying to cut off the connection between Anlu Mountain and Laochao in the two capitals.

Li Heng's hatred for Fang Guan was not because he killed [-] Tang troops, but because his failure allowed Guo Ziyi's faction to gain the upper hand again, and the time to recover the two capitals would be delayed.

But if the two capitals cannot be regained, there is no way to welcome the emperor back, so the emperor will always have a sharp sword hanging above his head.

After thinking about this, Yu Chaoen now understood that Fang Guan was completely finished.

This guy tried to bribe himself to intercede with him, and no matter how many treasures he offered, he couldn't get everyone to forgive him.

At this time, the servant Tong preached: "Your Majesty, Li Bi, the Secretary and Superintendent, asks to see you."
