Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 175 The general trend of the world
After Timur hastily trained the players, he immediately chose to go north to find Ge Luolu's tribe.

At this time, the battle situation in the Central Plains changed again.

After An Qingxu killed An Lushan and proclaimed himself emperor, the rebels in the four counties of Hedong who stayed in the two capitals began to miss their hometown.

An Qingxu was far from An Lushan's reputation, and when An Qingxu killed his father, he was afraid that his father's close comrade-in-arms, Shi Siming, would avenge An Lushan, so he transferred Shi Siming back to his old lair, Fan Yang.

Lack of repression by the prestige generals, the rebels in the two capitals have fluctuating morale, and they are worried that the Tang army will cut off the return route back to Hedong, and the atmosphere in Xijing is even more tense.

An Qingxu also drank and had fun every day, without any enterprising spirit at all.

At this time, anyone who has a little understanding of the overall situation of the world knows that the rebels will not last long.

However, the original goal of the West Route Army was to cut off the retreat of the rebels. It would be best to capture Yecheng or Taiyuan, so as to completely block the way for the rebels to return to their lair.

However, orders from Fengxiang Mansion continued, and Li Chu, the Crown Prince who also served as the Grand Marshal of the World Army, also arrived at the West Route Army.

After reading the emperor's imperial edict, Guo Ziyi sighed, and could only go south with the crown prince, and began planning to recover the two capitals.

The Tang Dynasty implemented the system of two capitals. The Xijing Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang were both the capitals of the Tang Dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Li Longji, he also lived in Luoyang, the eastern capital, for nine years.

Counting forward, during the Wu Zhou Dynasty, Wu Zetian even made Luoyang his capital.

Chang'an and Luoyang are the bright pearls of the Tang Dynasty and the largest cities in the world.

But relatively speaking, the foundation of Li and Tang's royal family is still in the pass, and Chang'an, as an important town in the pass, is more important than the eastern capital Luoyang.

At that time, Emperor Gaozong built the Dongdu mainly to control the Hedong area, and Wu Zetian was able to replace the Tang Dynasty with the Zhou Dynasty, and also relied on the support of the Hedong family and the Dongdu Shu clan.

The Hedong family is several large families inherited from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

These big families not only have family heirs of poetry and books, but also have family heirlooms of Confucian classics, and the families also have armed forces. Thousands of clan members live together, and they also had huge influence in the Tang Dynasty.

The common people in the eastern capital are the bourgeoisie created by the prosperous economy in Luoyang, the eastern capital.

These officials, businessmen, and children from poor families in the eastern capital passed several imperial examinations by the Wu Zhou court and successfully ascended to the center of national power. When Wu Zetian established Luoyang as the capital, the admission rate of candidates in the Luoyang area was three times that of Chang'an, the western capital. .

Wu Zetian won over the literary scholars in Luoyang, and a group of common people in the eastern capital who was close to the Wu Zhou Dynasty also came into being.

At the end of the Wu and Zhou Dynasties, the prime ministers launched the Shenlong coup and Li Tang was restored to power. This was the restoration completed by the Guanlong Xungui Group with the assistance of the Li Tang royal family.

The Hedong aristocratic family can also return home to farm, or invest in various towns in Hedong as officials.

However, the common people in Dongdu had no way out. They were originally from poor families and low-level official families, but after they were gradually squeezed out of the imperial court center, they declined rapidly.

Even Luoyang's status has gradually declined.

Therefore, during the Anlushan rebellion this time, the attitude of the Hedong family was very ambiguous, and the Dongdu commoners even expressed their support for the Anlushan rebellion.

It is clear that a political reckoning is coming for this soon-to-be-pacified world.

It is said that the emperor had drawn up a list of people who needed to be liquidated in Fengxiang Mansion, and Prince Li Chu took over the West Route Army for the same purpose of leading this political liquidation.

Guo Ziyi sighed. Although he is a general, he has a clear understanding of the imperial court's urgency.

The only thing that is gratifying is that the crown prince still respects Guo Ziyi's military advice. As long as Guo Ziyi obediently goes to fight the two capitals, the crown prince will fully support it.

Then there was no choice but to attack the two capitals. Datang's mighty 150,000 army began to gather for the two capitals.

At the same time, Datang Jiannan Road, Erhai area.

Ge Luofeng, the lord of Nanzhao, is ordering craftsmen to carve a stele called Dehua Stele.

That is, last year, Nanzhao had just defeated the [-] infantry led by Li Mi after staying in Jiannan.

The Tang army went on an expedition and entered Taihe City, the capital of Nanzhao, where they were ambushed and wiped out.

After that, Datang completely lost control of Nanzhao.

The stele erected by Ge Luofeng, the ruler of Nanzhao, contains the discourse of the ruler of Nanzhao on the war between the Tang Dynasty, Nanzhao and Tubo, which shows that the establishment of the Nanzhao state was only a "forced self-defense counterattack".

At the same time, Ge Luofeng hypocritically stated on the stele that she wanted to reconcile with Datang.

The inscription was written by Zheng Hui, Qingping official of Nanzhao. Zheng Hui was originally a Jinshi of the Tang Dynasty. Qingping official.

Qingping official, equivalent to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, is the No.1 under the ruler of Nanzhao.

After the stele was built, Geluofeng pulled Qingping official Zheng Hui back and said, "Tubo sent an envoy the day before yesterday to canonize me as Zanpu Zhong. This is what Zanpu's younger brother means. Master Zheng, how should we respond?"

In private, Ge Luofeng always referred to Zheng Hui as Master Zheng, and the Nanzhao system was also established by Zheng Hui after the Great Tang system.

Zheng Hui sighed and said, "My lord, now that both the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty have not recovered, it is good that Jiannan Road can resist the attack of the Tubo people. This is a great opportunity for my Nanxun to develop."

"I didn't expect that Tubo Zanpu would have such a means just after he succeeded to the throne. If Tubo's canonization is rejected again, the Tubo army will come to Xingshi to question him."

Ge Luofeng also sighed heavily. He looked at the Dehua Monument that was about to be completed. Although the Tang Expeditionary Army was annihilated last year, Nanzhao also suffered heavy losses.

Today's Nanzhao really has no way to resist Tubo's advance.

In fact, according to Zheng Hui's design, it is best for a small country like Nanzhao to be able to repeatedly jump between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and benefit from both sides.

However, after the Jiannan Jiedu envoy of the Tang Dynasty stayed, Li Mi was eager to make contributions, and sent troops to attack Nanzhao many times. Finally, even without appealing to the court, he used the best of the Jiannan army to make contributions by beheading Nanzhao first and then destroying Nanzhao.

In the end, Li Mi was wiped out because he underestimated the enemy, and there was no room for maneuver between Datang and Nanzhao.

If they completely fell to Tubo, then Nanzhao and Datang would become enemies of life and death.

And Tubo will definitely use Nanzhao to contain Datang, which Ge Luofeng doesn't want to see.

Zheng Hui also sighed and said: "I hope that by setting up this monument of virtue, there will be a chance to reunite with Datang in the future."

The Tubo Zanpu they were talking about was sitting high in the Zanpu Palace. The young Zanpu was expressionless, watching the strange dance of the Bon religion wizard convulsing under the smog.

Finally, when the sacrifice was over, and the Bon religion wizard wearing a strange mask stepped back, the young Zanpu looked at the respectful ministers on both sides, and announced an important decree.

Zanpu decided to increase the quota of "Shang Lun".

Originally, there were five Daluns in Tubo.

Zanpu Palace has an assistant, Zanpu, who is also the prime minister of Tubo.

Also set up a big theory in the four directions, which is the big theory in the four directions, which is equivalent to having the title of prime minister and sub-dividing Jiedu envoys in various places.

However, the big talk in the Zanpu Palace often becomes the power over Zanpu, and even when Zanpu is still the heir today, he is almost abolished by the big talk of the old Zanpu.

Therefore, the young Zanpu decided to expand the number of Daluns from five to nine. In addition to keeping the Sifang Daluns unchanged, four more Daluns were set up in Zanpu Palace.

In this way, the Dalun of Zanpu Palace has changed from one person to five people, which is equivalent to changing from the single-phase system to the group-phase system.

For such a decree, the nobles of Tubo naturally welcome it, and increasing the position of Dalun means that everyone has a new opportunity.

Although the authority of the big theory has been dispersed, it is also a big theory!
In order to compete for the four extra positions, the major families of Tubo fought again.

The young Zanpu looked at the bait he threw with a smile on his face, and sat firmly on Zanpu's throne.

The chaotic two years of Zhide finally came to the end of April.

Fang Guan, who was busy all the way, finally led a huge staff team to Wuwei City, and officially took the post of Hexi Jiedushi.
