Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Li Yuanji looked at Li Yuan. He really didn't expect that Li Yuan was still dreaming such a beautiful dream.

In Li Yuanji's opinion, Li Yuan had experienced so many things and had been imprisoned by Li Er for so many years. In addition, he was old, so he should have seen through some things.

However, Li Yuanji was overthinking. Not only that, he was unable to understand Li Yuan's thoughts. He really couldn't figure out why Li Yuan had the right to do so?
Li Yuanji didn't think about it anymore. Li Yuan was not worth his time and effort to think about.

Li Yuan stared at Li Yuanji in disbelief.

"Sanhu, I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and your father. You can't do this to me!"

"You didn't take me seriously at the beginning. When I went to Lingnan, I was moved by your sending me people and supplies. But I didn't expect that you would plant a spy among them and help Li Er to deal with me.

Fortunately, I have a backup plan, otherwise Li Er would have broken into my Haikang Palace.

Now that we have met, let it be.”

After Li Yuanji finished speaking, he turned around and left. He had no patience to continue wasting time here with Li Yuan. It was really meaningless.

Only after watching Li Yuanji go away did Uncle Xie let go of Li Yuan and go down together.

Li Yuan refused to give in and wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by two armored soldiers.

"Sanhu, come back here!"

"Li Yuanji, I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! I am!"

Li Yuan watched Li Yuanji disappear from his sight, and he completely collapsed. He kept smashing everything in the palace, as if he was venting his anger.

The soldiers just watched without stopping him at all, but as soon as Li Yuan wanted to go out, they would stop him.

Li Yuanji walked out and immediately went to the Taiji Hall. Looking at everything in the hall, he felt both admiration and a little joy.

He is back in Chang'an, and this palace will be his from now on.

After Li Yuanji entered Chang'an, everyone in the city was terrified and worried about the fate of themselves and their families.

Just when everyone was in a panic, Li Yuanji's purge began. People in the court were constantly dragged out to be beheaded. Those who had mocked, scolded Li Yuanji, or done evil things were all purged.

Even if they were from aristocratic families, including royal families and people from the Five Surnames and Seven Aristocrats, Li Yuanji did not hold back at all. This made everyone even more panicked, especially the people from the Five Surnames and Seven Aristocrats. They really did not expect that Li Yuanji would really dare to attack them.

At the same time, Li Yuanji began to restore order in the city of Chang'an. He took out military rations to appease the people of Chang'an, distributed food, and mobilized young and strong men, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers to begin rebuilding Chang'an and the imperial palace.

All over the country, Li Yuanji issued royal edicts to quell the war in various parts of the country and end the conflict.

Cen Wenben and others who were far away in Haikang also began to migrate to Chang'an, and the people in Li Yuanji's palace once again set out on the journey back to Chang'an.

The Haikang Palace, which served as Li Yuanji's temporary palace, still exists.

In addition, the Research Institute, Firearms Bureau, Iron Bureau, and colleges, including the School of Engineering, all began to move. Except for some local items, all were brought to Chang'an.

When the people of the five prefectures in Lingnan learned that Li Yuanji had returned to Chang'an and would mainly stay in Chang'an in the future, many of them took the initiative to go to Chang'an. They wanted to continue to accompany their king.

All of a sudden, a team of hundreds of thousands of people slowly appeared. When Li Yuanji learned about it, he immediately sent 50,000 troops to coordinate and assist the people in their migration.

Li Yuanji was deeply moved by the people's following. These were the people who were truly willing to follow him. Wherever he was, these people would be there.

On the other side, Su Dingfang and others who were chasing Li Er continued to lead their troops forward and were almost reaching Yuanzhou, but they still did not see Li Er. They only caught up with some of the supplies left behind by Li Er.

Ganzhou, Li Er has arrived here. At this moment, Li Er is full of sadness because the Guanyin maid who has always accompanied him, Empress Changsun, has passed away.

The death of Empress Changsun made Li Er feel like the sky had fallen. Li Er didn't even want to escape and turned around to fight Li Yuanji.

Li Er hugged Empress Changsun tightly, letting his tears flow, without loosening his hands at all.

After a while, when Li Er gradually calmed down, he carefully placed Empress Changsun on the bed and went outside.

Looking at Changsun Wuji and others, as well as Li Chengqian and others in front of him, Li Er didn't say anything.

Li Chengqian and his companions rushed in, crying sadly, while Li Er looked at Changsun Wuji and his companions.

"Find a good place. I want to bury Guanyin maid myself!"

Li Er buried Empress Changsun with his own hands, but he still couldn't come back to his senses. It can be seen that Li Er really loved Empress Changsun in his heart.

After a long time, Li Er returned and Li Junxian came to Li Er's side.

"Your Majesty, Li Yuanji's army has already breached Yumen Pass and is heading towards Suzhou!"

Li Er was shocked when he heard this.

"How is it possible! Aren't Li Yuanji's troops behind us? How did they get to the front?"

Li Er couldn't believe it. If Li Yuanji's army could really go around behind him, they should have come after him. Why were they attacking from the direction he was going?
Fang Xuanling and the others were filled with heavy emotions. Du Ruhui stood up and said, "Your Majesty, ahem."

"Keming, you must take care of yourself. Let the imperial physician come and treat you immediately."

Li Er looked at Du Ruhui with concern. Empress Changsun had just passed away, and he didn't want to see Du Ruhui get into trouble again.

Du Ruhui's health has been getting worse and worse in recent times. Li Er can see it and has consulted the imperial physician, but to no avail.

Du Ruhui also knew that his time was near, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he smiled.

"Your Majesty, that's not necessary. I know my own body. Everyone will die one day. I just left a little faster.

Your Majesty, the situation is critical now. If we follow the original plan, it will definitely not work. Now that Li Jing has surrendered and the north is occupied by Yu Minghe, Your Majesty must make a decision as soon as possible.

Now, while the north has not yet been completely controlled by Li Yuanji, Your Majesty must change the route, abandon most of the baggage and the army, lead a light-equipped group, and head north immediately.

Go north all the way and don't change until you shake off the pursuit of Li Yuanji's army, then go west.

Li Yuanji has proved that there are many small countries to the west. Your Majesty can go to a distant place, occupy a country, accumulate strength, and then attack the Tang Dynasty one day. "

Li Er was also lost in thought as he listened to Du Ruhui's words. He was hesitating whether to leave or not. However, at this moment, a hundred cavalry officers came running over.

"Report! Your Majesty, enemy cavalry appeared outside Suzhou. There are two cavalry units, one coming from the north and the other chasing us from behind!"

Li Er's mind was shocked, and Changsun Wuji and others immediately advised Li Er to leave as soon as possible.

In the end, Li Er had no choice but to lead the Hundred Cavalry Division and 20,000 troops away.

Under the cover of the rest of the army, Li Er continued to move north. Three days later, Du Ruhui died of illness. Li Er was heartbroken, but he could only give him a simple burial and continue on his way.

Xue Wanche and Yu Minghe, who were pursuing, also led their cavalry in pursuit. After receiving the news, Wei Yunqi also led his cavalry in pursuit of Li Er and sent troops to block Li Er's way.

After months of chasing, the weather was getting colder and Li Er was filled with despair. Xue Wanche and others were chasing them from behind, and their speed was obviously faster than theirs.

In his team, Changsun Wuji's hidden illness relapsed and his health was getting worse. His beloved daughter Li Lizhi was also ill and was obviously in a difficult situation as well.

In the end, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling stayed behind to stop the enemy and continue to create space for Li Er to escape. Li Lizhi was also left behind. Li Er didn't want to see Li Lizhi die of illness again, so he had to stay and let Li Yuanji take care of her.

Li Lizhi is a woman, and Li Er knows very well that if Li Lizhi stays, there will be no threat or life danger.

Li Er fled north again. As he went deeper into the enemy territory, the youngest son, Li Zhi, died of illness. Li Er was heartbroken, but he could do nothing.

He could not keep Li Zhi because he was a male. He knew that even if he kept Li Zhi, he would be killed by Li Yuanji.

However, to make matters worse for Li Er, Li Tai's health was not good. Fortunately, Li Chengqian was taking care of him, so Li Er had to continue on his journey.

He didn't know where he was. He was lost at this moment. There were only about 8,000 people left around him. The rest were dead. The supplies he carried were also getting less and less.

But Li Er had no choice but to keep fleeing northward. As he walked, his route began to shift westward, and the number of people following him also decreased.

However, Xue Wanche and others who were chasing behind had to stop the pursuit temporarily. After meeting up with Su Dingfang and others, they didn't know whether to continue the pursuit for a while.

Because they lost Li Er's whereabouts, they had no idea where Li Er had escaped to.

In the ice and snow, the telegraph machine also lost its function. Finally, Feng Li stood up and led an army of 10,000 people to continue the pursuit. The rest of the people began to return, and only sent a telegram to Li Yuanji after the telegraph machine resumed normal operation.

In Chang'an City, Li Yuanji was arranging matters with Cen Wenben and others who had already arrived.

“Next, we will fully restore the people’s livelihood in the Tang Dynasty. The grain in my fiefdom will be immediately transported to various parts of the Tang Dynasty for relief. We must ensure that this cold winter is helped as many people as possible.

The cotton from Luzhou Prefecture is used to make cotton clothes to ensure people's livelihood. At the same time, the fields in various places are redistributed. You should all have experience with this.

There are also comprehensive restrictions on the lands of the aristocratic families. If they do not cooperate, we will send troops directly in the name of suppressing the rebellion, and anyone who dares to oppose will be killed!

Even if he is from the Five Surnames and Seven Families, it will be the same. If they dare to oppose him, they will just kill him!"

Li Yuanji's face was full of ruthlessness. He was not Li Er. He had come through so many difficulties in the past, so why was he still afraid of these aristocratic families now?
If these noble families dared to rebel, he would wish to solve all of them at once.

Huang Chao had failed in history, and now he had to start solving the problems. If the aristocratic families were not eliminated, the world would still belong to them.

The family is permanent, the dynasty is transient?
Li Yuanji just didn't believe it. Now he no longer needed these noble families to help him govern the world. He could directly send people from the academy to govern various places.

Moreover, all the officials in his fiefdom can be sent out. The five prefectures in Lingnan are now basically complete. There is no need for so many officials to maintain basic stability because the people are very stable.

Upon hearing this, Cen Wenben and others were both surprised and not so surprised.

Some signs of these can be seen in Lingnan. Are there any aristocratic families in Lingnan?
They were not considered aristocratic families at all, but Li Yuanji gave them corresponding family treatment. Even the Wei and Yang families who wanted to go to Lingnan were restricted.

It is understandable that Li Yuanji would do this as he is targeting the aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty.

What was surprising was the iron-blooded approach displayed by Li Yuanji. He did not give those people any room to talk. He directly sent troops to deal with them, and killed them if they disagreed. This approach was a bit wild.

Several people did not say anything. Now that Li Yuanji had a foundation, the worst that could happen was that all the noble families in the world would oppose him. He would just plow the world again. They had already come from Lingnan, so why were they afraid of these things?

Just then, Yang Jianhe hurried in.

"Your Majesty, Su Dingfang and the others have urgent news."

Li Yuanji took it and looked at it, and finally could only sigh.

Li Yuanji really didn't expect that Li Er, who had become a lonely man, could escape like this. Although it didn't mean that Li Er had escaped, at least he had escaped temporarily.

Li Yuanji didn't care about it. Li Er only had a few thousand people around him now, and there were almost no people available. Moreover, according to the direction Li Er fled, he was only fleeing into the territory of Damuo. Where could he go in the end?
The best option is to develop towards Europe, then what other options does Li Er have?

He will attack those places sooner or later, so it's a good opportunity to let Li Er test the waters first. Apart from this, what other options does Li Yuanji have?

In this cold winter season, is he going to send people to follow him north?

The Tang Dynasty is in a mess now, and he has to deal with them first. The most important thing is that Changsun Wuji was captured alive, and the person he wants to kill the most is this man.

Li Yuanji then ordered Su Dingfang and others to return to the court. As for Feng Li, he had been chased away, so he was too lazy to care about him and just pretended that he didn't exist.

In the following time, Li Yuanji began to prepare for his enthronement, and Cen Wenben and others immediately became busy.

At the same time, as Li Yuanji's decision was implemented, the aristocratic families all over the world were in an uproar. The Five Surnames and Seven Families and other aristocratic families all opposed Li Yuanji, but Li Yuanji still pushed for the national policy to be implemented.

Finally, in the dead of winter, the Five Surnames and Seven Clans saw that their opposition was hopeless and many of their clan members were killed. Finally, several families began to unite and raise troops to protest against the implementation of the policy.

Li Yuanji directly sent Xie Shufang and Feng Ang to lead the army to suppress the rebellion, and all those involved were killed.

The Five Surnames and Seven Aristocrats, as well as other participating noble families from all over the country, suffered heavy losses. Many noble families were directly exterminated. Even the Five Surnames and Seven Aristocrats were no longer what they used to be.

This time, the number of people killed far exceeded the number of rebels, and blood flowed like a river.

It was not until this moment that everyone truly saw Li Yuanji's iron-blooded nature. No one dared to disobey the imperial court's orders.

This time, people all over the world saw the difference of Li Yuanji. Although there were still many people who were unwilling to take up official positions, Li Yuanji directly transferred officials from the five prefectures of Lingnan and sent students from the academy to various places to preside over the restoration of people's livelihood.

The common people thanked Li Yuanji one after another, and everyone felt that there was hope for the future. (End of this chapter)
