People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 975: To appease Songzhou, there is a river of killing

"Dong dong dong!" The sound of gongs rang on the streets of Zoige County, and immediately the soldiers shouted.

"According to the order of Songzhou's pacifying envoy and the king of Nanchang County, from now on, Ruoergai will return to the Tang Dynasty and establish a new state. All Tibetan systems will be abolished. There will be no distinction between superiors, subordinates and slaves. From now on, for three years, All exorbitant taxes and levies will be abolished. Dong-dong-dong..."

The soldiers banged the gong vigorously: "Immediately one person from each household went to the gate of the west city to watch the execution. All men of the Tuoba clan who were above the wheel were executed...

All Tibetan systems have been abolished. From today on, no one is a slave, no one is a subordinate, and everyone is equal. "

The sound of gongs kept ringing throughout Zoige, and the voices of soldiers rang again and again, but even so, there were still very few people willing to go out.

……

"Forcibly expel them from the city." Li Xiaoyi turned around and ordered, and a soldier who joined the army was already walking down quickly.

On top of the city, Li Xuan looked at this scene with a slight smile.

The entire Ruoergai is now full of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Even outside the city, there are five thousand soldiers stationed.

In just one night, Li Xiaoyi's soldiers from Jiannan Road had captured the entire Ruoergai County.

The original city guards here and the Tibetan soldiers stationed there were all killed.

Li Xuan also followed into the city.

Li Xiaoyi turned around and happened to see the smile on Li Xuan's face. He frowned and asked, "Mr. 27, why are you smiling?"

"Uncle, don't you think the Tibetan people's rule in Ruoergai is a bit cruel? The Tubo people have been killed, but the people here are still afraid of them." Li Xuan turned to look at Li Xiaoyi, the smile in his eyes could not be concealed at all. live.

"Is this a good thing?" Li Xiaoyi looked puzzled.

"The harder the pressure, the harder the rebound."

Li Xuan turned his head and looked at a famous city citizen who was escorted out of his house by a sergeant of the Tang Dynasty and then walked out of the city gate at his feet.

Although they were forced to come to the Xicheng school grounds, looking at the Tuoba clan being tied up and pinned to the ground, the eyes of these common people were full of excitement.

"The Tuoba clan has ruled this place for many years. Now, you have killed all the Tuoba clan's males, and you have completely wiped them out." Li Xiaoyi couldn't help but shake his head.

Killing people to establish authority is what Li Xuan means.

He looked calmly at the left side of the execution ground below.

A bunch of plainly dressed Ruoergai upstarts stood there shivering, but still could not hide their hatred for the Tuoba clan.

These people were originally close followers of the Tuoba clan in the early years when this place surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and they were relatively close to the Tang Dynasty.

But then the Tubo people came, and these people immediately lost power. Although they were still far away from falling to the upper class, their power was also far away from them.

Li Xuan spoke softly: "If the Tuoba clan is not killed, how will the wealth they have accumulated over the years be sent to Chang'an?"

Li Xuan's words made Li Xiaoyi not know what to say.

"Uncle, although the situation in Youbian Shandong is better this year, the drought is still obvious. Coupled with last year's severe drought, people don't have much food left at home. They can only rely on the imperial court for relief, but there is also a food shortage in the imperial court."

Li Xuan looked at Li Xiaoyi and sighed: "The prince is actively preparing food from the south of the Yangtze River. We and the clan must always put in some effort."

Li Xiaoyi shook his head in a funny way and said, "No wonder Brother Han Wang said that you are cunning and cunning. You can say such things so calmly to please His Majesty and the Queen."

"Although Your Majesty is Xuan's cousin, he is also the father of the king. It is the duty of a minister to serve the king and father. What's more, His Majesty has taken care of him for many years. Xuan has no other way to repay him. He can only use the enemy's money to show his filial piety. "Li Xuan turned sideways and looked in the direction of Chang'an, slightly arching her hands.

Although Li Xiaoyi felt a little funny for a moment, the smile on his face had completely subsided.

A casually dropped Songzhou pacifier has proved Li Xuan's theory correct.

But he is still the governor of Changzhou.

"Okay, let's not mention this anymore." Li Xiaoyi waved his hand and said, "I have already informed Your Majesty that this place will be Panzhou and that he will be appointed as the governor. Before that, Chongjing will be responsible for the history of the principal."

Li Xuan suddenly turned around, looked at Li Xiaoyi in disbelief, and said, "Brother Thirteen is also going to be transferred to another position?"

Li Chongjing joined the army as the governor of Yizhou. From an official position below the fifth rank, it was not excessive to inspect the history of local governors, especially the newly established border governors.

But the land of Panzhou is very important to Li Xuan and cannot fall into the hands of others easily.

However, Li Xuan, the pacifier of Songzhou, could not decide on the local governor's history, but Li Xiaoyi could.

"You are already the governor, and it doesn't matter if he serves as the governor." Li Xiaoyi waved his hand, and then asked solemnly: "Do you think this place can really be transformed?"

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Although there are many lakes in Panzhou, if the lakes are filled in to create land, then there will be thousands of hectares of fertile land here immediately...Uncle, I am afraid there will be a lot of refugees in Yizhou this year, right?"

Li Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, it is true. It is not just Youbian that is affected by the drought. Northern Shaanxi is also not easy. Some people went to Chang'an, and some went to Yizhou."

"The Kingdom of Heavenly Abundance in Sichuan, let alone two or three months, can survive until next year." Li Xuan looked at Li Xiaoyi and said softly: "If at this time, the news of the new Kaizhou County here and the granting of fertile land can be spread, If we go out, the pressure in Chang'an will be reduced a lot."

"It seems that you have really thought about it seriously." Li Xiaoyi glanced at Li Xuan in disbelief, and then said: "So, if you open the road from Changzhou to Sichuan, I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? "

Li Xuan smiled, his uncle had served as the governor of Yizhou for many years, and he also inspected the governor of Yizhou.

When Prince Li Hong died of illness, he was directly transferred back by the emperor to serve as General You Qianniu Guard, suppressing the two capitals, and his ability was absolutely outstanding.

His equal, Shi Dou Xuande, the governor-general of Yangzhou, had already been transferred back to Chang'an. He was first the Minister of Hubu and now the Minister of Officials.

It's a pity that Li Xiaoyi is from the clan.

"The first thing is to transport food. Before the autumn harvest, the world is short of food, especially in front of the army. There are also Tibetan harassments. Wang Xiaojie is afraid that it will be difficult to gain a foothold, so transporting food is particularly important."

After a slight pause, Li Xuan continued: "The second is trade. Jade from Tuyuhun can enter Shu, and silk and satin from Shu can also enter Tuyuhun. They can even follow Tuyuhun to the Western Regions, and the goods from the Western Regions can also come in."

Li Xiaoyi is the governor-general of Yizhou. The things Li Xuan does must first go through him.

"I heard that a caravan has also set off from Prince City." Li Xiaoyi looked sideways at Li Xuan.Pengwang Prince City.

During the Zhenguan period, the late emperor built a residence for King Peng.

When Li Xuan was in Pengzhou, he lived in Prince City.

To be precise, Pengzhou Prince City is Li Xuan's home.

"My nephew's family also needs to make some money." Li Xuan smiled and said, "Besides, if my nephew takes the lead, there will be more talents following him. With more businessmen, Changzhou will be more prosperous."

Li Xiaoyi shook his head, sighed softly, and said: "Uncle knows what you want to do. It is nothing more than making money for yourself and adding political achievements to yourself. But you have to be careful not to follow the path of your Uncle Teng Wang."

Li Yuanying, the king of Teng, built the Tengwang Pavilion three times and changed its location three times. In the end, all the Tengwang Pavilions became cheaper.

Li Xuan immediately understood that Li Xiaoyi thought he wanted to build a small kingdom to enjoy himself in Changzhou.

Sighing softly in his heart, Li Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you uncle for reminding me, Xuan will definitely treat it with caution."

Doing it, but not with any fanfare.

Li Xiaoyi nodded and said, "As long as you understand. By the way, I heard that the Queen has given you a concubine."

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded and said helplessly: "It came very suddenly."

"Zuo Xiang's family is descended from Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and Tianshan Gong's family is from the royal family of Gaochang. Mr. 27, your family can handle it." Li Xiaoyi smiled, then looked at the water in the west and said: "After opening up the road in front of us, we can reverse the situation." Going up the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, the entire mountains in western Sichuan will be completely included in the territory of Datang."

"Yes, with the foundation in Panzhou, it will not be so easy for the remaining members of the party to rebel if they want to rebel again."

At this point, Li Xuan paused for a moment and said, "But the premise is that the leader of the party must be killed first."

Li Xiaoyi nodded lightly.

The two have reached a consensus.

A bloody sky was clearly visible.

……

As the sky dawned, countless Jiannan Dao troops, led by local guides, marched toward Tangke Town on wide bamboo rafts.

Tangke is the first bay of the nine bends of the Yellow River.

Countless soldiers in black guard the city gate, and a steady stream of food and grass is transported from Shu and then sent north.

Li Xuan stood on the city gate, looked at everything in front of him, and said softly: "By opening up Changzhou and Shuzhong, our true foundation can be considered as a tripartite."

"Your Majesty!" A cold voice sounded from behind Li Xuan.

Wearing a green Taoist robe, Nü Guan, who is close to her thirties but looks to be only twenty-nine years old, steps out of the shadows.

With a solemn face, a high nose, cold eyes, a tall and straight figure, and a slender waist, he is clearly Zhang Wanyu, the master of Taiyin Palace in Xiaohan Mountain.

The original master of Yuhang Hall of Tianyin Sect is now the master of Xiaohanshan Taiyin Palace who respects Mother Lishan, Emperor Taiyin and Master Cihang as their founders.

Taking Lishan Laomu Palace as its Taoist tradition, it was preached in Raozhou and throughout Jiangyou.

"How is the legal system of Tianyin Palace now?" Li Xuan asked sideways.

"The emperor is merciful and bestows blessings and good fortune."

Zhang Wanyu nodded slightly and said: "Now, the disciple is already a registered disciple of Lishan Mountain. With this, Xiaohan Mountain has been connected with the Tianshi Tao of Longhu Mountain, the Lingbao Sect of Zaoge Mountain, and the Qing Palace on Maoshan Mountain. The Taoism has been spread throughout the world. In the land south of the Yangtze River, nearly half of the original Tianyin Sect members have become Xiaohanshan followers."

Li Xuan nodded slightly. Xiaohan Mountain was established by him in the name of Qian Niuwei through communication between Zongzheng Temple and Lishan Mother Palace.

All Taoist sects with official backgrounds believe that Xiaohanshan Taiyin Palace is a religion created by the imperial court in order to transform the beliefs of Tianyin Sect.

Therefore, all aspects were relatively coordinated, so their missionary work went smoothly.

Li Xuan turned around and asked directly: "Do many of the church members back then know your identity?"

"Not many, just a few former confidants." Zhang Wanyu lowered her head and said, "They were first recruited as followers of the Taiyin Emperor, and then they went through many tests before they saw me."

"That's good. Even if someone finds you, you can say that you have completely surrendered to the court." Li Xuan shook her head and asked, "Have you heard any news about the Demon Sect recently?"

Zhang Wanyu was stunned, shook her head and said, "They tried to contact us, but we ignored them, and then they disappeared on their own."

"Well done!" Li Xuan nodded and said: "Last year in Chang'an, the Demon Sect was severely damaged, and all the Wanxiang Pavilion's nests were destroyed. After that, three thousand elite Tibetans destroyed Taozhou, and Qinling was blamed on the Demon Sect. The two parties broke off contact, and the Demon Cult disappeared until recently..."

"recently?"

"Well, they went to the Turks in Mobei." Li Xuan turned to look north and said solemnly: "Two years of drought have caused the Turks to suffer equally serious disasters."

"They want to encourage the Turks to rebel against the Tang Dynasty?" Zhang Wanyu was suddenly shocked.

"The Turks are short of food, and the Tang Dynasty can't help them. It's easy to see what the outcome will be." Li Xuan waved her hands and said, "Those are things for the future. Now I've asked you to come, and you want to lead the manpower and mix in the caravan. , went to Changzhou to preach."

"Xiaohanshan Taiyin Palace?" Zhang Wanyu asked carefully.

"Of course." Li Xuan turned around with a half-smile and said, "Otherwise, would it still be the Tianyin Sect?"

"What if someone discovers this subordinate?"

"Those who know you are all the backbones of the Demon Cult. You can tell them that you are here to seek revenge from me." Li Xuan looked cold and said with murderous eyes: "Any disciple of the Demon Cult who appears in Changzhou , all must die.”

This is a trap.

Just plotting further.
