    Chapter 1 Chang'an Storm (1) Chang'an, which has been in Wude for eight years, is turbulent.  A lot has happened in the past four years.  But if I think about it carefully, it seems that nothing happened during these four years.  In the fourth year of Wude, Jiangnan was at peace.  After the death of Xiao Xian of the Later Liang Dynasty, the Xiao Sui court left for Southeast Asia.  Feng An of Lingnan declared his surrender, and Fang Xuanling surrendered in Hongzhou The vigorous war in the late Sui Dynasty disappeared in just four years.  The princes from all walks of life died and surrendered, and Li Tang's country became as stable as Mount Tai overnight.  Domestic, abandoned land has begun to be cultivated again.  After Li Yuan learned from the rent and tax adjustment law implemented by Li Yanqing in Xingyang County, he finally made up his mind to implement it nationwide.  After two years of adjustments, Li Tang Jiangshan is showing a prosperous scene.  Overseas, at the end of the fourth year of Takeoku, Silla joined forces with Baekje, determined to destroy Goguryeo, which was in the sunset.  During the battle between Yuan Taejo and Eulji Mundeok, Goguryeo had long lost its former prosperity.  After the three conquests of Goguryeo by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, although the Sui Dynasty was in turmoil, Goguryeo itself was also severely damaged.  In desperation, Yuan Taizuo asked the Mohe people for help.  No matter what, although the Goguryeo people separated, they are still a branch of the Mohe people.  After receiving Yuan Taizuo's request for help, the Mohe people immediately prepared their troops and prepared to send troops to assist.  Unexpectedly, Du Ruhui suddenly attacked at this time and ordered Luo Shixin and Liu Heitai to divide their troops into two groups and attack the Mohe people.  Li Yuan did not have much favorable impressions of the three countries on the Korean Peninsula Although the failure of the three expeditions to Goguryeo was attributed to Yang Guang, it was also unacceptable to Li Yuan, who was born in the Guanlong noble family.  In the fifth year of Wude, Li Yuan ordered Xu Shiji, the general manager of Luzhou, to serve as the governor of Youzhou, with jurisdiction over six states, and joined forces with Du Ruhui to attack.  At the same time, Xin Wenli, the general manager of Youzhou, was transferred to Jiangnan and served as the governor of Jingzhou.  This seemingly ordinary arrangement has endless mysteries hidden inside it.  After Xu Shiji arrived in Youzhou, he immediately began to attack the Mohe people At the same time, Li Yuan appointed Du Ruhui as the comfort envoy to Liaodong and practiced the art of gentleness towards Goguryeo.  In the sixth year of Takeoku, Du Ruhui and Eulji Munde reached an agreement. Goguryeo ceded the land of three cities east of the Yalu River in order to obtain material assistance from Li Tang and resist the conquests of Silla and Baekje.  Subsequently, Li Yuan ordered Du Ruhui to establish the Andong Governor's Office in Liaodong, and Du Ruhui immediately became the first governor.  In March of the same year, the Li people of Liaozi tribe were destroyed, and Ning Xuan, the son of Ning Changzhen, was killed.  It was not under Li Tang's rule that the troops of Liao Zi were destroyed.  This troop of dragon cavalry is composed entirely of slang people scattered throughout Lingnan.  However, they were hired by Li Yanqing to send troops to conquer the officials.  Then, without waiting for Chang'an to react, the dragoons pursued across the border and went straight to Zhenla Kingdom.  At the end of the sixth year of Wude, the rebels of the Zhenla Kingdom were destroyed. The leader of the Zhenla Kingdom sent his son north to Chang'an to submit his credentials and wish to surrender forever.  The dragoons did not return to Lingnan, but were stationed in Wendan City, the capital of the King of Chenla.  Externally, the leader of the Chenla Kingdom claimed that the Dragoon Army was hired by him to take over the defense of the entire Chenla Kingdom; internally, the Dragoon Army began to expand aggressively. In just one year, the Dragoon Army  With nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command, he became the largest military force in Chenla Kingdom.  But where did this dragoon army come from?  Chang'an was at a loss They only knew that the leader of the Dragon Cavalry Army was named Du Fu, but his deputy was Du Fuwei, a ruthless bandit who wreaked havoc in the Jianghuai River during the Xiao and Sui Dynasties.  After discussion with the court officials, Li Yuan finally made a decision.  He ordered Annan Governor Li Yanqing to reset the Annan Governor's Mansion, but his jurisdiction was expanded from the previous fifty-four prefectures and counties to one hundred and eighteen prefectures and counties.  Yungui and Liaozi areas were all under the jurisdiction of the Annan Governor's Office. In addition to his position as Annan Governor, Li Yanqing was also worshiped as General Zhennan, General Qilin, Governor of Lingnan Military Affairs, Jiajie Yue, and Shangkaifu Yi Tongsan  Si, below the third rank, can be killed first and then played.  This edict is tantamount to recognizing Li Yanqing's status in the Lingnan region, and even the entire Yunnan-Guizhou region.  The entire Lingnan Road was under the jurisdiction of Li Yanqing, including the eight states under Feng Ang's rule.  For a time, although Li Yanqing was far away in Lingnan, his name as the King of Lingnan was spread in the streets and alleys of Luoyang, Chang'an.  Although not as good as Li Jiancheng¡¯s crown prince, he is also not as good as Li Shimin¡¯s Shangshu Ling and Tian Ce.  But above the Li Tang court, Li Yanqing was already on par with Li Xuanba, the governor of Lingzhou, and even higher than the other royal families Everything seemed so beautiful!  If it hadn¡¯t been for what happened in the seventh year of Wude, people might haveI forgot, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.  In May of the seventh year of Wude, Li Yuan went to Yuhua Mountain to rest, while Chang'an left the prince to supervise the country.  In fact, Li Yuan was very satisfied with the prince.  Li Jiancheng has a gentle and mellow temperament, has the demeanor of an elder, and handles things in a clear and logical manner. Li Jiancheng is highly praised by everyone in the court.  However, at this moment, a shocking news spread from Chang'an to Yuhua Mountain in the north of Tongchuan County.  This Yuhua Mountain has a steep terrain and is an important place connecting the north and south of Guanzhong.  ??The Renzhi Palace, the palace where the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty spent his summer vacation, is located in Yuhua Mountain.  Renzhi Palace is built on the mountainside, and its layout and decoration are not gorgeous.  The palace walls are made of thick and large stones, and are densely covered with various arrow towers and crenels.  It is said that the construction of Renzhi Palace only took a month, but the food in the palace's warehouses was enough to feed tens of thousands of people for half a year.  Therefore, rather than saying that Renzhi Palace is a palace, it is more appropriate to say that it is a fortress.  "Seven years have passed, and Li Yuan has become somewhat old.  He came to Renzhi Palace to rest because of his health, but he didn't want something like this to happen while he was resting.  "Yang Wenqian, do you want to rebel?" Li Yuan took a breath, with a solemn look on his face.  ??Renzhi Palace is located in Tongchuan County, and Tongchuan County is located in Qingzhou He is so immortal that Yang Wenqian is the military commander of Qingzhou, and he also serves as the governor of Qingzhou.  In other words, if Yang Wenqian rebels, Renzhi Palace will bear the brunt.  The Qingzhou Governor¡¯s Office is located in Qingyang, which is only sixty miles away from Tongchuan County.  What is the concept of sixty miles?  From the gate of the General Manager's Mansion, you can ride on horseback and arrive at the gate of Renzhi Palace in three and a half hours at the fastest.  And Yang Wenqian, who holds the troops and horses of Qingzhou, is indispensable for horses.  Renzhi Palace only has soldiers and horses from the three palaces stationed, with a total of 3,600 people. It is indeed dangerous to resist Yang Wenqian.  However, Li Yuan is also the emperor after all, so he is not worried about this.  What he is really worried about is, is this thing true or false?  If it is true, then what role does Prince Li Jiancheng play in it?  "Because this Yang Wenqian is Li Jiancheng's man" What makes Li Yuan most uneasy is that the person who reported this matter turned out to be Dong Gong.  Among the six leaders of the East Palace, there are two junior military attach¨¦s, one named Qiao Gongshan and the other named Erwen Huan.  The two of them were originally ordered by Wei Ting, the leader of the left guard of the East Palace, to transport a batch of armored weapons to Yang Wenqian.  Unexpectedly, the two men changed their route midway and actually went to Renzhi Palace to report.  After Li Yuan learned the news, he couldn't believe it was true On the fifth day of June, Li Yuan ordered Pegasus to gallop back to Chang'an.  Three days later, Li Jiancheng appeared in Renzhi Palace wearing plain clothes and a pale face.  What happened in the past three days?  No one knows anymore In short, there will be some intrigues and intrigues.  On the ninth day of the lunar month, Li Yuan ordered Yu Wenying, the minister of Sinong Temple, to go to Qingyang to recruit Yang Wenqian to surrender. However, it turned out that Yu Wenying never returned, as if he had evaporated from the world.  By June 24, the rumors were increasing.  What surprised Li Yuan even more was that Yang Wenqian finally launched a rebellion in Qingyang What's more, Yang Wenqian also harassed Ningzhou, which was adjacent to Qingzhou. He claimed that there was no morality in the world and that the prince was virtuous. He also proposed "kill the King of Qin and sideline the King of Qing".  'Slogan It is said that the governor of Jingzhou, General Zuo Yiwei Li Yi, has publicly responded It is said that the bunch of governors and governors in Shandong who were appointed by the prince the year before last are all ready to make a move.  It is said that even the Governor of Annan, the General of Zhennan, General Qilin, and the King of Henan Li Yanqing were a little uneasy But as soon as the news came out, Li Yuan was no longer afraid!  He was indeed a little afraid of Li Yanqing, but what if Li Yanqing would rebel?  He would never believe it.  "Li Yanqing is a smart man, and he is far away in Lingnan If he really wanted to rebel, then the old troops in Youzhou, Liaodong, Jingxiang and other places would have already launched an army.  Once these old subordinates of Li Yanqing take action, how can the world be so peaceful?  Li Yanqing did not rebel, which shows that things are not as complicated as imagined.  The top priority is that Li Yuan must calm down the turmoil in Guanzhong.  You know, although the order of Renzhi Palace is still barely there, people's hearts are becoming more and more uneasy.  As Yang Wengqian sent his troops to Baijiabao, less than twenty miles away from Yuhua Mountain, Li Yuan finally made the final decision.  "Summon the King of Qin for an audience!"
