Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 822 Chapter 841: Internal and external troubles
After the punching between the two ended, the fog in the mountains gradually dispersed, Li Hao turned his head to look at Li Zhi, and said happily, "Are you looking good today?"

Li Zhi nodded happily: "I also feel that I am much more energetic than yesterday, and I have the strength to punch."

"Go, go into the hospital, I'll check your pulse."

The two walked into the courtyard while talking, and sat down on the stool in the courtyard. Li Zhi slowly stretched out his hand, and Li Hao helped him diagnose his pulse.Although Li Hao's medical skills are limited, he still knows a thing or two about pulse diagnosis, at least he can diagnose the strength of the pulse. Li Zhi's pulse today is obviously much stronger than yesterday's. It can be seen that yesterday's exchange of blood is indeed true for Li Zhi. very effective.

When Li Hao performed the appendectomy operation on Zhiyuan Zhenren, he gave two bags of blood to Zhiyuan Zhenren. Since then, Zhiyuan Zhenren has reversed growth, his white hair has turned gray, and he has become ten years younger. A few years old, it can be seen that the blood in the blood bag has also undergone magical changes when passing through the space-time tunnel, and has a strange power.

Although Li Zhi's condition is much better now, Li Hao knows that the poison in his body is deeply ingrained and has not been completely eliminated. After all, freezing three feet is not a one-day cold, and he needs to perform multiple blood changes to reduce the toxins in his body. , and then by strengthening one's own body, use the body's own resistance to dissolve all toxins.

Two days later, Pei Miao came and brought Li Hao's Shen Wang, which was sent from Liuqiu by Li Hao's special order, first by boat, then by car, without stopping at all.

Li Hao hurriedly asked Pei Miao to boil Shen Wang Decoction for Li Zhi to drink, and added more than [-] drops of Li Hao's blood in it, but he didn't tell Li Zhi, because he was afraid that Li Zhi would not drink it if he knew about it.

After drinking the ginseng soup, Pei Miao checked Li Zhi's pulse. This time, a smile appeared on his face. Seeing Pei Miao's expression, Li Hao knew that things had turned around. Sure enough, after Pei Miao's pulse diagnosis, he felt happy. Said: "Junior brother, you really have many strange tricks. His body has improved a lot. Although he is not out of danger yet, his lifespan has been extended from half a year to five years."

Li Hao was also very happy when he heard the words: "I knew that this trick would definitely work, and continue to exchange blood tomorrow!"

Pei Miao shook her head and said: "I just took the ginseng soup, and I will change my blood tomorrow, and I will drink this ginseng soup for nothing. Such things as blood changes should not be frequent, once a month is better."

"Okay." Li Hao nodded in agreement, "Then once a month." Anyway, as long as it can save Li Zhi, it doesn't matter if it's slow.

So these three people stayed in Jingyun Temple, and Nantuo Mountain came back to life, and the little monkeys ran all over the mountain. The mutated monkeys are different, not only smart, but also very powerful, holding a stick and fighting wild boars and wolves. Fighting, it moves swiftly and is very powerful. It is no match for wild boars and wolves. At first, it dared to fight with it. Later, it drove it all over the mountain.

Li Zhi had nothing to do every day except boxing, so he went to Zhiyuan Zhenren's library to look for Taoist classics and read them. Perhaps Taoist thoughts were quite compatible with his personality. The more he read it, the more he liked it, and gradually immersed himself in it. If he didn't look at it for a day, he would feel as if something was missing. If there was something he didn't understand, he would ask Pei Miao. Over time, he actually learned all those seal characters.

In Chang'an City, one month after Li Zhi's disappearance, Wu Sansi and Xu Jingzong once again went to the court to ask for the crown prince to be enthroned. This time, some people still objected and asked to continue to search for the emperor's whereabouts. After all, the prince was too young to ascend the throne. It has no effect on the government. Once enthroned, there is no medicine for regret. What if the emperor suddenly returns.

But this time the number of people who objected was significantly smaller, and Wu Meiniang also lost patience. After a month of buffering, she finally calmed down from the panic at the beginning. With the military power in hand, no matter who it is, they can't compete with her, so what are you afraid of.

Hence, Wu Meiniang was ready to play this time, and the new emperor ascended the throne. Since Li Xian was too young, only two years old, and needed someone to walk, so on the day Li Xian ascended the throne, Wu Meiniang hugged Li Xian and sat on the throne.

The moment Wu Meiniang sat on the throne, Wu Meiniang felt her aura expand infinitely. The excitement was really indescribable. It turned out that the feeling of sitting on the throne was so magical. No wonder there were so many people coveting the throne. From this moment on, a crazy idea had been secretly growing in her heart, even she didn't realize it.

Li Xian finally ascended the throne, and the public announcement cannot be said that the former emperor was missing, but that he had passed away. The next step was to hold a funeral for Li Zhi and bury Li Zhi's clothes in the Qianling Tomb.

The funeral of the first emperor was naturally a national funeral, but Wu Sansi was extremely happy. Li Xian finally ascended the throne, and his aunt became the queen mother. Can he not be happy? He summoned his party members to the mansion for a banquet to celebrate, and even called for singing and dancing to add to the fun.

It is a serious crime to have a banquet and listen to songs and dances during the national funeral. As the Minister of Dali Temple, Di Renjie is responsible for supervising all officials. After receiving the report, he immediately impeached Wu Sansi and asked Wu Meiniang to punish him severely.

After Wu Meiniang received Di Renjie's memorial, her eyebrows twitched. Di Renjie, a stunned young man, impeached Wu Chengsi before, causing Wu Chengsi to be imprisoned. He has not been released yet. which kind?Want to get rid of all the people in their Wu family?
Wu Meiniang immediately summoned Wu Sansi, threw the memorandum on his face, and then scolded him. After reading the memorandum, Wu Sansi was also stupefied. Now he can almost walk sideways in Chang'an. Why can't Di Renjie see clearly the shit stick? What about the situation?

Although Wu Meiniang reprimanded Wu Sansi, she didn't want to convict him, otherwise would there be anyone around her?So she and Wu Sansi made a plan, and decided to take advantage of this opportunity to bring Di Renjie down, lest he jump up and down in the future and make trouble.

Wu Meiniang intends to favor Wu Sansi, and even partnered with Wu Sansi. No matter how smart Di Renjie is, it will not help, because in the face of absolute power, intelligence is useless.

So Di Renjie was convicted of framing Zhongliang and was imprisoned in Dali Temple. Wu Sansi was not only fine, but also replaced Di Renjie as the Minister of Dali Temple. Wu Chengsi was also released because Di Renjie was placed in prison. If Zhongliang was accused of framing, then the person impeached by him would naturally be "Zhongliang".

There is a smog in the court, and the frontier has undergone drastic changes. After the merger of the Anxi Protectorate, the position of the Anxi Protector is changed every six months. Everyone in the court has a share, and they will never fail. It feels like a joke like.

This time, it was the turn of a general named Wang He to be the Protector of Anxi. To be honest, this Wang He was only a fourth-rank martial artist with average abilities. It was really too much for him to be the Protector of Anxi.At this moment, Abbas sent 15 troops to suddenly attack Anxi Dufu. Wang He hurriedly mobilized a large army to fight. Although the Tang army was brave, it depends on who the commander is. Mentally retarded, that also has no fighting power. Wang He has lost consecutive battles, and the four towns of Anxi have been repeatedly attacked by the Abbasid army, and they have also advanced all the way to the southeast.

Wang He retreated to defend Qinghai, and Tubo also sent troops at this time, together with the Abbasid army, attacked Qinghai. Fortunately, Wang Xiaojie also brought reinforcements to kill, and with the bravery of Qinghai Wei, they defended the city and blocked the enemy. The footsteps of the army, by chance, Datang also suffered heavy losses, losing nearly [-] soldiers, and lost one-third of Datang's territory.

It has been a long time since the Tang Dynasty suffered such a big defeat, and there was a lot of turmoil in the court. Although most of the Confucian officials were pedantic, they were all patriotic in nature. How could they tolerate such a big loss? They all petitioned Wu Meiniang to restore Fan Lihua The post of the Protector of Anxi sent Fan Lihua to repel the enemy.

However, Wu Meiniang's followers resolutely opposed it. Finally, Wu Sansi proposed that he and Wang Xiaojie take turns as the guardian of Anxi, and Wu Meiniang was allowed to play.

Tubo and Abbas attacked Qinghai for three months. Since Qinghai Weicheng was too tall and fierce, and Wang Xiaojie was not an idler, he was more than enough to defend the city. Abbas and Tubo had to withdraw their troops in the end, and then divided up The original Anxi boundary of the Tang Dynasty was broken.

In Nantuo Mountain, Li Hao changed Li Zhi's blood five times. The toxins in Li Zhi's body were finally cleared up. At this time, Zhiyuan Daoist came back.

Daoist Zhi Yuan rode back to the Taoist temple on a black buffalo, and found that Li Hao and Pei Miao were both there, so he was overjoyed.When he learned that Li Zhi was here at this time, he was very surprised. He was traveling abroad and naturally heard the news of the emperor's death. He did not expect that the emperor was not dead at all, but hid in Nantuo Mountain.

After careful questioning, the real Zhiyuan learned the truth about Wu Meiniang's poisoning of Li Zhi, and he couldn't help but sigh. After the sigh, the real Zhiyuan looked at Li Zhi, frowned and shook his head, and said coldly: "A woman made Tang Dynasty a disaster. Look, your guilt cannot be shirked!"

Li Hao and Pei Miao were stunned by this sentence, although Li Zhi was no longer the emperor, but Zhiyuan Zhenren was too awesome to blame Li Zhi like this.

After Li Zhi finished listening, he lowered his head guiltily, and said slowly: "Yes, the real person taught me the right lesson. All of this is my fault."

Why Wu Meiniang has such great power today is all given by Li Zhi. From the moment he fell in love with Wu Meiniang, such an ending has been doomed, and he is indeed the culprit.

Zhiyuan Zhenren was walking outside, so he naturally knew the news of the defeat of the Tang Dynasty. When he told the story, Li Zhi and Li Hao were shocked. The Anxi Governor's Mansion has a vast area, and Li Hao and Fan Lihua took it down with great difficulty. Yes, it fell so easily?

Even if Li Haodang went down the mountain in a hurry and returned to Chang'an, although he would not be able to regain the territory of Anxi, he had to take precautions. The Tang Dynasty could be in chaos, but it could not be invaded by these barbarians.

Leaving Nantuo Mountain and going to Chang'an, the official road was smooth. Li Hao rode his horse galloping, wearing the stars and wearing the moon to drive the road. Four days later, he arrived at Fenghua Valley, which was not far from Chang'an. Stop at Wuyanggang in Huagu, and come to the stall in Wuyanggang to drink tea and eat bowls of noodles.

He has been to Wuyanggang more than once. It is the beginning of winter, and the red maple leaves around him have not yet fallen. Looking around, it looks like a raging fire all over the mountains and plains. It is so beautiful that it is a bit unreal.

Li Hao sat down at the small table in the tea shop, ordered a bowl of hot tea and a bowl of noodles, and then looked around, only to see that there were a lot fewer vendors around, and the business was sluggish, and noon was the rush hour. And here, including him, there are only five guests.

Li Hao couldn't help feeling: "Business is much worse than before."

"That's right." The owner of the tea shop answered him while cooking noodles, "In the past, this Wuyanggang was very lively, but since the emperor fell ill, our business in Wuyanggang has not been easy."

"Oh? Why?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Why else? Isn't it because..." The boss of the tea shop hesitated to speak, and finally said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, these things are beyond our ability to talk about. If the officials heard about it, it would probably be another A hell of a prison."

Although he didn't say anything, Li Hao could tell that it must be related to some measures of the court. Even if the court didn't change any system, if the government officials become corrupt, the people's life will be difficult, and it will also affect the people's spending power. And these small self-employed households have a great impact, and even affect the national economy.

Li Hao secretly decided that after returning to Chang'an, he would ask Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, and the others what changes had taken place in the government and the system over the years, and why the people's economy had actually regressed.

Soon, Li Hao's noodles were ready, and Li Hao picked up the chopsticks and ate with a hula-hula. Soon, most of the bowl of noodles was eaten, and he was eating deliciously, when he suddenly heard the owner of the teahouse scream: "Crazy! Run!"

Li Hao raised his head in astonishment when he heard the words, and saw that the owner of the tea shop didn't even want the stall, and he ran wildly, and several other vendors also ran away one after another.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen fast horses came galloping, and the riders on the horses were dressed in strange clothes. When Li Hao saw this, the first reaction in Li Hao's mind was bandits.

That's right, it's bandits. The group of bandits arrived on horseback, and the group of guests reacted. However, it was too late now. Bandits surrounded the five guests one after another. The bandit headed by him was actually a one-eyed dragon , very classic bandit shape.

Li Hao looked at these bandits with a frown, and was very surprised. Datang's economy has been very good in recent years, and there are very few bandits. What's more, it is close to Chang'an, so how can there be bandits? He doesn't know. What's more, after Wu Meiniang came to power, a series of taxes were added, including agricultural and commercial taxes, and the national treasury was full, but the people's life was not as easy as before. Some people went bankrupt because they couldn't pay the taxes, and then went bankrupt. The pot was broken and the grass was turned into a bandit, and some bandits were the ghosts of the big families. They just wanted to mess up the Tang Dynasty, so as to show that Wu Meiniang was not worthy of ruling at all, so that the people complained about Wu Meiniang and forced Wu Meiniang Step down, because after Wu Meiniang came to power, the harm she did to their elites was not lower than that of Li Hao back then. The current business tax is really heavy. Li's group used to only pay more than 40 yuan in business tax every year. Pay more than 140 million business taxes, which has more than tripled.

Cyclops got off his horse and stepped forward, took a look at the five guests, grinned and showed his black teeth, and said happily, "Today is lucky, there are donkeys, horses, women, and one in silk."

The other four traveling guests present were two young couples, and the one wearing silk and satin was naturally Li Hao. In Datang, those who wore silk and satin must be rich people.
