    On the fifth day of February in the first year of Taixing, it was the spring plowing season. Li Xuan, Yang Fugong and others were escorted to Chang'an, the capital. The envoy also brought a personal letter from Li Maozhen, the military governor of Fengxiang.  Li Zhang, who abdicated the throne, returned to the capital, and Yang Fugong, who had kidnapped Li Zhang, was escorted to the capital. This caused a huge sensation in the court. The civil and military ministers of the dynasty had their own thoughts and had completely different views on the matter.  The officials of the former Daxingtai Mansion of Nanfang Road who followed Li Rupei to the capital were very happy. Li Xuan returned to the capital, Yang Fugong and his associates were all escorted to the capital, and the jade seal also returned to the capital. This heralded Li Rupei's rise as emperor.  Their position is more stable and no one can shake it. As for how to deal with Li Zhang, Yang Fugong and others, their attitude is also very clear, that is, resolutely kill Yang Fugong and his confidants and accomplices. As for Li Zhang, the same can be done  Go to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to live out the rest of his life. Of course, some people suggested that Li Zhan should not be let go. After all, he was the former emperor and he must still have some appeal. Letting him go so easily would be very detrimental to the consolidation of Li Rupei's throne.  As for the civil and military officials in the capital, their opinions this time are very unified. They believe that Yang Fugong and his close associates should be killed and must not be let go. Regarding how to deal with Li Xuan, most officials believe that it is better to let them go.  Li Xuan went to live in Luoyang, the eastern capital. Because Li Xuan took the initiative to abdicate the throne to Li Rupei, he could be named the Supreme Emperor.  The opinions of Minister of Civil and Military Affairs Ling Ling were all brought together to Li Rupei, including the suggestions discussed by the Political Affairs Hall.  He honored Li Xuan as the Supreme Emperor and killed Yang Fugong and his accomplices.  Li Rupei did not hesitate and quickly approved this suggestion. He knew it very well.  When Yang Fugong controlled power in the capital, most of the civil and military officials were attached to him. Now that Yang Fugong has been escorted to the capital, many officials are on tenterhooks.  They were afraid that Li Rupei would settle an old score, so they eagerly hoped that Yang Fugong and his associates would be killed directly.  As for Li Xuan, there is no problem in being revered as the Supreme Emperor. Li Rupei has never believed it.  If Li Zhen could rebel, his biggest wish would be to live a quiet life in Luoyang, the eastern capital.  Li Rupei had no intention of meeting Yang Fugong, and he also knew that the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China were watching.  If he went to see Yang Fugong, I don't know how many people would be worried, so in order to stabilize many civil and military ministers, he would not go to see Yang Fugong.  Li Rupei originally planned to seduce Li Xuan. After all, Li Xuan was his uncle, but his idea was dissuaded by Cui Anqian. Cui Anqian thought.  Such a meeting is difficult to control, and both parties will be embarrassed. It is better not to meet.  It¡¯s February 15th.  Yang Fugong and his associates were all killed, and Li Zhang was also sent to Luoyang, the eastern capital.  ??According to the unchanged history, Li Zhen could only live for one year, and then Tang Zhaozong succeeded to the throne. However, since history has changed, many things may not be certain.  Report from the palace maid responsible for serving Li Xuan.  Li Xuan was in poor health and mentally, and was afraid of seeing people.  My diet was also very bad and I lost a lot of weight.  The whole person looked in a daze. Although his daily life was very good, Li Zhan ate very little and spent most of his time in a daze, not knowing what to think.  The imperial doctor also took a special look at Li Xuan¡¯s condition and believed that Li Xuan¡¯s depression was affecting his heart, which was a heart disease and needed to be treated slowly.  Li Rupei knew very well that Li Xuan's end was coming. When a person has suffered so many insults and frights, and cannot recognize and treat himself correctly, his body will definitely undergo huge changes. Li Xuan obviously does not have such abilities.  , as the former emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he became depressed after being humiliated, and his body would collapse quickly. Unless he ascended the throne of the emperor again, he might be able to persist for a while, but unfortunately there is no such possibility now.  On the day when Yang Fugong and his accomplices were executed, Li Rupei issued an order to move the emperor to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to spend his old age. At the same time, all officials of the third rank and above of the Ming Dynasty sent Li Xuan away from the capital.  After Li Xuan left the capital and went to Luoyang, the eastern capital, Cui Anqian reported that after Li Xuan met many civil and military ministers, there was no reaction or expression. He was very dull, as if he didn't recognize everyone.  Li Rupei secretly lamented that Li Xuan, who was originally a coward in history, was still a miserable figure. He left nothing behind, but he was insulted by the eunuchs Tian Lingzi and Yang Fugong. If such things were spread, Li Xuan would be afraid of the world.  The laughing stock.  March 15th.  The Political Affairs Hall officially began to discuss matters regarding Hebei Road, Henan Road, Hedong Road and Guannai Road.  After Li Rupei ascended the throne, the northern vassal towns showed almost no support or opposition. However, after Li Xuan was honored as the Supreme Emperor and Yang Fugong and his associates were executed, the northern vassal towns began to submit memorials one after another.  , expressing support for the emperor?, willing to pay taxes on time, obey the imperial edicts, and obey the emperor's imperial edicts.  Of course, these memorials did not mention the military matters at all, let alone the appointment of northern military governors. They all knew that the emperor had redivided the north, leaving only Hebei Road, Henan Road, Hedong Road and  Guannai Road, and named the place occupied by the Turks Xinjiang Road, which indicates that Jiedushi will need to be laid off in large numbers, which will kill the northern vassal towns, and they will not mention such sensitive matters.  The main purpose of this political meeting was to discuss how to deal with the northern vassal towns.  Leaders led by Gao Chibang believe that the imperial court must seize control of many places in the north, completely annihilate the feudal towns, and then not allow the feudal towns to control the army on their own. If the imperial court does not take any action in a short period of time, this will make the feudal towns have a fluke mentality and accelerate the expansion of their strength.  The pace is not good for the court.  Those headed by Zheng Congchen believed that under the current circumstances, there was no need to conquer the vassal towns for the time being. There were many vassal towns in the north. Even if the vassal towns were to be completely annihilated, it would not be a matter of time. The emperor had not been on the throne for a long time, and the capital Chang'an and Dongdu  Luoyang and Henan Prefecture and other places still need to expend energy to rectify. If it can be stabilized for about a year and the capital Chang'an and other places can be completely stabilized, then the time will be completely mature to conquer the northern vassal towns.  Zheng Congchan also believed that even if he was to conquer the vassal towns, he would have to adopt two sets of methods to make some weak vassal towns surrender. Those powerful vassal towns in his hometown should also adopt the method of distant communication and close attack. They must not attack in an all-out way and let all the vassal towns unite.  , then the difficulty of eradication will increase.  Cui Anqian was inclined to Zheng Congchan's opinion. The important place in the capital was unusual. Besides, the emperor had not been on the throne for a long time. The first priority at present was stability. Once the capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang were completely stabilized, then all conditions would be mature.  Whether it is conquering vassal towns or Turks, there is no problem.  The controversy in the political hall was not very long. Gao Chibang also believed that Zheng Congchen's opinions were carefully considered and were in line with the actual situation. After all, the emperor had not been on the throne for a long time and the people had not yet completely stabilized. On such a basis, the sudden start  Raising troops to conquer feudal towns may cause unrest and commotion in Baixin.  After discussing the affairs between the vassal town and the Turks, Cui Anqian unexpectedly raised another matter, that is, the issue of the emperor's harem. Normally, the political affairs hall cannot discuss such matters, but the situation is somewhat special. The queen empress asked her several times  It was suggested that the emperor should consider the affairs of the harem, but the emperor ignored it and was vague. With no other solution, the queen asked the political affairs hall to discuss the matter specifically and make suggestions directly to the emperor.  After Cui Anqian brought up this matter, everyone was stunned. This harem was the emperor's family affair. Cui Anqian was involved in it. He could explain that after all, his status was different, but others discussed whether it was inappropriate. If the emperor lost his temper, everyone would  There is nothing to say.  You must know that the emperor attaches great importance to the political affairs hall. Many major matters must be discussed through the political affairs hall. Moreover, the emperor also specifically emphasized that when discussing matters in the political affairs hall, everyone must proceed from the perspective of publicity and must not be selfish.  This led to unnecessary disputes when discussing matters. Sometimes, the emperor even personally participated in the discussions in the political hall.  It has never happened before that the political affairs hall discussed the affairs of the harem, but the emperor's situation is also very special.  Just as Cui Anqian finished speaking, Zheng Congchan spoke up and said bluntly that it was inappropriate to discuss this matter in the political hall. This is a family matter of the emperor. The emperor and the empress should make the decision. It doesn't matter if the ministers of the court discuss such matters.  It's inappropriate no matter what.  Cui Anqian was also a little helpless. In fact, he didn't want to bring it up. However, there were only the queen and five ladies in the emperor's harem. This couldn't be justified. The world and the ministers in the court would not discuss the emperor, but they would discuss it secretly.  The Queen will also discuss the Cui family, which Cui Anqian cannot bear and does not want to see.  In fact, after becoming the first prime minister, Cui Anqian worked conscientiously, fearing that he would make the wrong decision. The more the emperor trusted him, the more cautious he became. He also often reminded the members and children of the Cui family that they must be loyal to the emperor with all their heart.  Is there anything unreasonable? This is very important to the Cui family. After all, the Cui family in Qinghe has become the most famous family in the Tang Dynasty. They must be cautious in everything.  Zheng Congchen believed that the political affairs hall should not discuss harem matters, and Cui Anqian had no choice. In fact, he also knew that discussing harem matters was definitely inappropriate.  After the discussion in the political affairs hall, Cui Anqian, Zheng Congdan, Liu Yunzhang, Gao Chibang, Qian Shiqu, Yu Chenghui, Cui Shenyou and others got up and went to the Zichen Hall, while the rest of the ministers and censors came.Go and get busy.  Along the way, Cui Anqian was thinking about the harem, and it seemed that he was going to raise it directly.  (To be continued)
