    The Mid-Autumn Festival in August is here in a blink of an eye. A bright moon shines on the imperial city, and every detail within the city wall is visible, just like daylight.  But in Li Qiu's eyes, the pale moonlight made people feel chilly.  The door was pushed open, and Zhou Xiangren walked in slowly. Li Qiu turned his face sideways, deliberately not looking at Zhou Xiangren, and Zhou Xiangren clicked his tongue twice.  "Today's daytime ceremony was really lively. It was much more lively than that day of King Qing. I don't know how many people from Chang'an City came, and there were also many people from Luoyang City who came from Luoyang by track train a few days ago, specifically for the occasion.  Observe the ceremony. "Tsk, tsk, that scene will never be forgotten for the rest of your life" "Shut up." Li Qiu shouted sharply, his hair and beard spread out, and he stared at Zhou Xiangren, his eyes full of resentment.  Zhou Xiangren smiled. Li Qiu, who had lost his imperial power, could not even compare to a toothless tiger. He could only be regarded as a toothless cat.  After Li Qiu ascended the throne, he deliberately neglected him and supported other eunuchs to replace him. Although he kept a low profile and bided his time, he was forced to retreat.  Now, what else does he have to worry about? If Ye Chang hadn't explained it, he would even be willing to take action himself to solve this "future trouble" in his opinion.  "Does Prince Qing think that this is still the time when you are the emperor? Now the empress has ascended the throne, His Highness Shou'an No, His Majesty has chosen an auspicious time to ascend the throne this morning. Prince Qing is in this deep palace, I'm afraid he doesn't know yet, right?" Li  How could Qiu not know that although he was imprisoned in the palace, it did not mean that he had no idea what was happening outside. What's more, it was such a major event as Shou'an ascended the throne and became emperor. Everyone saw that Shou'an ascended the throne and became emperor.  Later, this was a balanced result, which allowed a certain compromise to be achieved between the old scholar-bureaucrats and the new dignitaries with Ye Chang as the soul figure, and also allowed the imperial power to gradually transition from the Li family to the Ye family. Because during the whole process, there was no  The phenomenon of blood flowing everywhere, and several royal family members committing suicide were their own affairs. No one even mentioned the officers who were beaten to death by the common people.  Therefore, people inside and outside the imperial court strongly advocated that such a peaceful power transfer was rare in ancient times. It can be seen that Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness Prince Wei have brought joy to the world and even the people's hearts.  In short, they advocated it vigorously and asked historians to solemnly record it in the annals of history, calling it the "bloodless Ding Revolution". Some people also called it the "Glorious Ding Revolution."  Although the name of the country is still "Tang" and the surname of the country's leader is still Li, in the eyes of these people, the momentum of the Ding Revolution is complete and is just waiting for a balanced transition.  Naturally, a round of rewards was inevitable, but these had nothing to do with Li Qiu. He was renamed Prince Qing, but was allowed to keep the old palace and live here.  This generous offer once made the ministers very worried, but Shou'an and Ye Chang still insisted on it.  "Are you here to drive me out of here now? Let me tell you, don't even think about it. Ye Chang is not willing to bear the name of regicide. Unless he kills me, otherwise don't think about me moving out of the palace." Li Qiu howled: "Come on  "Come and kill me, come and kill me, I'm not afraid." "If you weren't afraid, you would have killed yourself a long time ago. Why are you still pretending to do it until now?" Zhou Xiangren couldn't help but ridiculed him again, and then said: "But  Don't worry, the empress has decreed that this palace should be changed to Prince Qing's Mansion and belong to you. In addition, 150,000 yuan will be allocated every year to maintain the expenses of Prince Qing's Mansion. " "Whatwhat?" Li Qiu said.  Mouth, stunned again.  "We didn't come here to drive him away, so he was just acting pretentious. No wonder he only attracted ridicule and ridicule."  Ye Chang and Shou'an treated the Li Tang royal family very favorably. According to their bloodline with Li Longji, the Li Tang family had a generous annuity.  Li Qiu's standard is the highest, which is 150,000 yuan. Of course, this money is for the use of Li Qiu's entire family, including their family's food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as the hiring of servants, housekeepers, maids, and palace maintenance. If Li Qiu still wants to support  For a big stall, 150,000 yuan may not be enough.  Calculating this, the entire Li family takes more than two million yuan from Ye Chang every year. Although Ye Chang can make money, it is also very painful.  After learning about this, Li Qiu had mixed feelings in his heart. After a while, he sighed and finally stopped scolding Ye Chang.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????mbps out out of nowhere, but he never thought that Ye Chang would also allocate an annuity to him, a consideration he could not match.  At this time, he felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart, wishing that he had listened to the villain's slander and had to be suspicious of Ye Chang until today.  "It's all Yuan Zai's fault. He failed to achieve anything but failed more than he did." Yuan Zai, who was cursing in his heart, was at a place he was very familiar with at this moment. Even though it was late at night, he still couldn't sleep.  ¡°It feels familiar because the place he is currently in is the prison door of Jingzhao Mansion, and the moonlight shines through the gap in the prison in front of his feet.  He once served as a chief official here, locking up many heads of chambers of commerce and Imperial College students here, but at that time he was so proud that he never thought that he would live here soon.  If I had thought about it at the time, I would have asked people to change the environment here. At least, it would not be filled with a rotten smell like it is now.  There was a sudden creak from the cell door, which was someone opening it. Yuan Zai immediately stepped forward, hugged the fence and shouted: "Let go."Let me go out, let me out, I am unjust" A lantern was raised, and then Yuan Zai heard a familiar cough. He was stunned, and the cry suddenly stopped. Wang Zhongsi's old and haggard face  , His wife's sad and sad face, and Liu Yan's calm face, successively appeared in his sight under the light. Yuan Zai felt happy and worried at the same time, hoping that this was to let him go, but also afraid that this was to let him go.  He saw his relatives for the last time. He knew that the relationship between Wang Zhongsi and Ye Chang was a bit complicated, but at least in the past ten years, the relationship between the two was quite good, so Wang Yanger became a brave general with great achievements by Ye Chang's side.  If Zhongsi came forward to seek help from Ye Chang, he might really betray his favor. But he also knew that he had offended Ye Chang severely. There were quite a few reasons why the relationship between Li Qiu and Ye Chang was so tense.  Because he sensed Li Qiu's suspicion of Ye Chang and added fuel to the fire: "Prince, I will go outside for a while. If you have anything to do, you can tell him.  "Liu Yan bowed his hands to Wang Zhongsi, then looked at Yuan Zai with some disgust, and left. The jailer moved a chair, Wang helped Wang Zhongsi sit down, and Wang Zhongsi sighed slowly. "My father-in-law.  " Yuan Zai murmured. "When the late Emperor dismissed me from my post and sent me to central Guizhou because Ni Heng and I had grown up together since childhood, I was disheartened and had no regard for the imperial court.  I really don¡¯t want to get involved anymore I have said repeatedly that we just have to do our part and don¡¯t be greedy for advancement, lest we cause trouble, but you just can¡¯t listen.  "Wang Zhongsi waved his hand to signal him to be quiet: "You brought this disaster on yourself, you can't blame others." "Yes, yes.  "Yuan Zai responded in a low voice. "I didn't want to pay attention to you originally, but your wife came to me for asking. She suffered a lot of grievances when she married you, and now you are still causing trouble for him. If not  King Wei is so generous that no harm will come to his wife. Even she will accompany you to jail." Yuan Zai looked at his wife. She had lost a lot of weight and was far from her original glory. He felt a bit ashamed in his heart. He was just a poor man back then.  A scholar with nothing to do, he was lucky to marry the daughter of the Wang family. Moreover, because he was despised by members of the Wang family, his wife left home with him and wandered around, suffering a lot of hardships. Later, he became depressed and frustrated.  , he was even humiliated by Ye Chang, who was a commoner, and his wife came home in shame to ask for an official for him. Now, he is facing jail, and his wife has invited his father to help him.  Is it wrong?  "Wang Zhongsi asked. "My son-in-law has already realized his mistake and should not go against Mr. Ye.  "Yuan Zai calmed down and said guiltily. "Wrong, wrong, you still don't know where you are wrong. You are not against Ye Gong, you are against the whole world." Wang Zhongsi snorted and said: "  You are in prison and don't know what happened during these days. In your imagination, this revolution will always cause instability in all directions, right?  " Yuan Zai didn't answer, which was regarded as acquiescence. Although Ye Chang promoted Shou'an as the empress, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it was actually him who was seeking to usurp the throne. The Li family has been in power for so many years, and Li Longji became the fifty-year-old emperor.  The emperor of the year was convinced all over the world, and all the people were united. How come no one came out to speak out, reprimanded Ye Chang, or even raised troops to raise righteousness? "I tell you, the generals from all over the border towns have gathered in Chang'an these days, you know?  what does that mean?  " The Jiedushi and other generals from various towns gathered in Chang'an, which means that they have unreserved trust in Ye Chang and their full support for this revolution. Hearing the news, Yuan Zai couldn't help but feel lost, and then  Smiling bitterly: "Hehe actually has such prestige." "Even if the late emperor was reborn, his prestige would not be as good as Ye Chang's. Do you think that the late emperor's failure to take any action for the next five years means that he really has no suspicion of Ye Chang?"  Wrong, wrong, that's because the late emperor understood that there is no point in being suspicious or not. Ye Chang has become the winner." When Wang Zhongsi said this, he coughed twice and sighed again: "You don't know, King Wei Wei's firearms  After the firearms army was trained, in Tianbao's 19th year, that is, last year, Ye Chang invited the trusted generals from the Jiedu factions in each town to gather in Liaodong, saying that they were going to conduct a drill.  At that time, Wang Zhongsi, a veteran in the army, also went as an envoy sent by the imperial court to preside over the drill. It was the first time that Wang Zhongsi saw a firearms drill.  As one of the most famous generals in the Tang Dynasty - probably the first general besides Ye Chang today, Wang Zhongsi has enough vision. From the artillery, guns and the phalanx of the drill, he can see that such a well-formed army  What kind of combat effectiveness will the troops have?  As long as the ammunition is endless, no troops can approach them. All enemies will be slaughtered at hand-to-hand distance.  This exercise had a huge impact on Wang Zhongsi and the border generals in various towns. Whether he was a general like Gao Shi, who was originally from Ye Chang's line, seeing this new type of arms and new tacticsWeapons, they are all convinced by Ye Chang, and at the same time, they also imagine that their own army will also become such an army that transcends this era.  But it¡¯s obvious that this is Ye Chang¡¯s top secret and the foundation of his life.  They obtained a small number of firearms through various channels, and even asked the Taoist priests who made alchemy to imitate gunpowder. However, both in terms of power and safety performance, they were far from what Ye Chang had, let alone equipped like Ye Chang.  force.  Therefore, during this Ding Revolution, the generals in the towns who held military power, no matter whether they agreed in their hearts or not, at least did not do anything stupid like raising troops to oppose.  "Even some individuals who did not understand the general trend and wanted to raise troops were captured by their subordinates and presented to Ye Gong These subordinates were not afraid of Ye Gong's firearms, but were defeated by Ye Gong's money. In the past few years, the border troops in various towns have  Which one of them has not made a fortune from the border affairs? If you and King Qing follow the patent policy, which one of them will not suffer losses? The border generals and the new nobles in the court are all active participants in starting industries and mines?  , Not to mention anything else, just the textile factory providing military uniforms to their subordinates has added a lot of private income to them. In addition, they now rely heavily on the two major chambers of commerce, Anton and Anxi, for weapons and equipment.  They also collected a lot of fees for opening up the trade routes to the Yi and Di territories for the three major chambers of commerce. Therefore, they were also firm supporters of Ye Chang. On the contrary, among the courtiers, Yan Gaoqing and others were very dissatisfied with Ding Ge.  They also knew that it was not Ye Chang's active choice to make Shou'an the empress that reached this point, but Ye Chang made a huge concession. Under such circumstances, they had nothing to do except resign and not eat Zhou Su.  Hearing what Wang Zhongsi said about the outside world, Yuan Zai felt very unhappy. He didn't like hearing these things. Wang Zhongsi looked into his eyes and found out what he was thinking. He was furious, but he saw that his daughter was pitiful.  Wang Zhongsi couldn't help but sigh again. "Damn it," he pointed at Yuan Zai and said, "You are here to reflect. I don't expect you to change your mind. I just hope you will think more about my daughter." After he finished speaking,  , waved his sleeves and stood up, about to leave. When Yuan Zai saw him behind him, he couldn't help but panic: "My father-in-law, my father-in-law." Wang Zhongsi was too lazy to pay attention to him, and said to his daughter: "I'll wait for you outside. Don't delay too long. Let Liu  "It's hard to do business." Wang originally wanted to help him leave, but he threw his arm away and had no choice but to stay. Wang Zhongsi just went out, and Yuan Zai asked his wife in a trembling voice: "When can I go out?"  Wang wiped her tears and said, "Wait three more days. After three days, the emperor will grant me a general amnesty, and you can go out, butit's just that from now on, you are no longer allowed to be an official."  " "It's good if you can go out, it's good if you can go out Officer?  "I don't want to be Ye Chang's official," Yuan Zai said. "Alsoeven though it's an amnesty, only capital crimes are pardoned, but there are still punishments" Wang looked at Yuan Zai and hesitated. "What punishment?"  Besides not being allowed to serve as an official, what other punishments are there?  Yuan Zai suddenly became nervous and said, "Among the clan members, there are some who are dissatisfied with the imperial reform and should be exiled to Yizhou together with them."  " "Yizhou Liuqiu Island?  Yuan Zai was horrified: "This this might as well kill us."
