Tai Chi Palace, Wude Palace.
Swish, swish, Li Po shot three arrows in a row, and the arrows hit the target.
He was in his prime and could draw a two-stone bow quite easily, but in recent years he no longer had the opportunity to use force, so it was no longer comparable to when he led his army to charge into battle.
However, my boxing and kicking skills have not fallen behind, and I can still compete with the tigresses at home. However, due to my busy schedule and lack of exercise, I don't take advantage as much as before.
As for weapons, that has always been his weak point. Ever since he was stabbed by a girl with a wooden sword, he was so frightened that he refused to use a sword anymore.
The Hall of Wude has always been a place where emperors exercised their bodies and demonstrated their martial arts.
Yang Jian and his son once exercised their muscles and bones here, and Li Yuan and his son also experienced intrigues in the palace.
Before, Wude Hall was the territory of King Li Yuanji of Qi. Li Yuanji was not very smart, he was very impulsive and only had a little cleverness, but he was quite brave. He also had more free time, so he practiced martial arts diligently.
Prepare to escape.
Therefore, the traces of Li Yuanji in Wude Hall are relatively heavy. For example, there are some pictures hanging on the walls. There are several maps among them, mostly about the division of territory in the former Sui Dynasty. There are also hunting maps that Li Yuanji likes, all from famous Chang'an masters.
hand.
All these things, I haven’t had time to replace them yet.
Li Po didn't care much about these things. What he cared about was how much the royal assets were. He asked people to check them carefully. Well, in the end, he felt depressed. Li Yuan was still a very honest emperor, or he could be said to be a prodigal son.
Is that true? How long has Li Yuancai been emperor? There are so many enemies in the world waiting to be dealt with? He actually dares to build palaces. This is completely different from Li Po's style? Li Po wanted to demolish Jinyang Palace when he was in Jinyang.
Already.
And when he was in Yunnei, only a large piece of open space remained in the palaces of the Northern Wei Dynasty that were demolished, and he used it as a place to bury the heroes who died in the war? If the nobles of the Northern Wei Dynasty survived, they would definitely have to argue with this guy.
of.
Now that he has entered the Chang'an Palace, his ability to demolish homes has been completely put on hold? If you still dare to come here and work as a demolition team, everyone will have to rebel.
Just as Li Po expected, as soon as he stepped into this palace city, many things were brought up naturally.
The first one is naturally to proclaim himself emperor.
In fact, the procedure is not quite right? He is just the King of Han? Not the emperor, so it is not reasonable to enter the palace.
But that kind of procedure is only suitable for the peaceful inheritance in the Heian season. No one in Chang'an City would think that the King of Han should abide by such rules, and there is no one else here who can make concessions.
When there was only one person left who was qualified to become the master of the palace, there were no other rules. Moreover, the king of Han moved in, which was a move that made everyone feel at ease.
The matter of proclaiming himself emperor became urgent.
Are there too many excited people? On the contrary, Li Po himself is quite calm. It's not that he can't be happy, but he's too busy... The thing that makes people happy when busy doesn't happen to Li Po after all.
After entering the palace for several days, he was almost too tired to stick out his tongue.
Mainly because he is tired? Otherwise, he would not come to Wude Hall for recreation.
This involves the second thing? Meeting with officials of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty? In other words, he finally began to receive representatives of the Kansai aristocracy, hold discussions with them, screen out their virtuous and foolish people, and then appoint them as appropriate, in addition to the initial
Take a first look at their character and political trends.
This can be said to be a very huge project that cannot be completed in a short time. It can only be said that it has made a beginning.
Moreover, these two things were mixed together, and the affairs were overwhelming and overwhelming. If he were not still young and extremely energetic, he would have been exhausted long ago.
Because his workload is obviously not comparable to when Li Yuan took charge of Chang'an.
Fortunately, this is only temporary, because he is only proclaimed emperor once, and it will be over. As long as he gets through this period, he will be able to relax a lot.
But the process of becoming emperor is very cumbersome. When he was in Jinyang City, he was very happy when he heard that one person and another person was proclaimed emperor. He thought these people were quite funny, and he didn't know how long he would live.
day.
But when it was his turn, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Old man He Chou finally caught up with his favorite activity. In addition to the determination of country names and era names, making official uniforms and etiquette were his favorite things.
Perhaps the old man who was raised in Jinyang was getting stronger, and he rushed all the way to Chang'an. After a few days of rest, the old official fans in their 70s and 80s devoted their full enthusiasm to their work, and they didn't even have time to show off to the old people in Kansai. You say
How happy does he have to be?
And He Chou's arrival indeed caused quite a stir among the people of Kansai.
Who is He Chou? His ancestral home is Yizhou, and he later moved to Guanxi.
As for the deeds, just focus on them. He oversaw the construction of the big cities of Chang'an and Luoyang, and had a large number of craftsmen in the Sui Dynasty, alongside Yu Wenkai.
Most of the costumes and some ceremonial utensils of the Sui Dynasty were the first works of He Chou. The funeral affairs of Emperor Wen and Queen Wenwen were all handled by He Chou, and he was also one of the ministers entrusted by Emperor Wen.
Of course, according to the rules of the world, if you don't have military exploits, you are just a scumbag. Why Chou led the troops to defeat the barbarians, and followed the general Shi Wansui to attack Tuyuhun.
During the campaign in Liaodong, he built pontoon bridges and square cities, and commanded the right-hand garrison of generals with tens of thousands of troops.
The most important point is that he has lived long enough, which means he is old enough, and he is also a figure recognized by the Kansai clan.
When Shi Shiran appeared in Chang'an City, many people were shocked.
Although there are some vague news about He Chou, but seeing a living person, the effect cannot be expressed in simple words.
It can be said that this is a serious living legend. Knowing that he was back, many former Sui officials came out from all corners to pay homage to He Shaofu (who once served as the Shaofu Supervisor and was praised by people at the time)
.
He Chou was very busy and had no time to reminisce with others. He even did not spend much time with his family members and relatives whom he had not seen for many years in Chang'an. After resting for a few days, he took a group of disciples and asked Li Po to introduce Taichang Qing.
I took the job and started working in my old profession.
This caused quite a stir among the Kansai people. If there were so many ordinary people under Li Po's command, the Kansai people might just accept them without any effort.
Although the two Yang Gongren brothers are also among the best in Kansai, they are hard to compare with He Chou in terms of effectiveness, and the Yang family is really not very popular in Kansai...
Anyway, becoming emperor is a troublesome thing, and it is also one of the glorious achievements that a prince can achieve. Well, in other words, it is painful and happy at the same time.
Li Po was already a little breathless under the pressure of the first two things, but there were still military matters waiting for him to do.
Li Gang and others went to Tongguan, and all the causes and consequences were laid out for Li Po to solve the case. Xu Shiji's counter-intentional scheme was so sophisticated that even Li Po had to admire it.
This good news also sent the King of Han to the Chang'an Palace. Military victories would greatly inspire the enthusiasm of the subjects, and also cover up some sharp conflicts.
Some noises still circulating in Chang'an City, such as discussions about the origin of Han King Li Ding'an and whether he would become a puppet of the Turkic Khanate, disappeared after Li Jiancheng died and the news of Tongguan's change of ownership spread.
The military operations did not stop. After Xijing, the Guanxi counties almost surrendered, but further away, Li Tang's flag was still flying. For example, in the direction of Lingzhou, there was Li Tang.
Li Daozong, the general manager of Lingzhou in the Tang Dynasty and Li Yuan's nephew, was confronting Master Liang.
Qu Tutong led more than 100,000 troops to station in Qinzhou. So far, there has been no news. He is probably still waiting and watching.
The direction of Shuzhong is under the control of Li Xiaogong, and it is very likely that he will become king after Li Yuan's death, which is very troublesome.
In other words, when the Li Tang Building has collapsed, there are still many remnants scattered in all directions, and there is still the worry of resurgence. What Li Po means is that the military must keep up with it and continue to exert pressure, and must not give these remaining forces any
A little chance.
Therefore, the military affairs are heavy, and all the guards are making great progress.
For example, Bu Qun, Xue Wanche, Xu Shiji, Yu Chikai and others recaptured Tongguan, and their next target will be Henan or Xiaoxian in the south.
Zhang Lun, Zhang Shigui, Yu Chigong, Chen Yuan and others led their troops westward until they reached Qinzhou to confront Qu Tutong.
Yuwen Huo wanted to lead his army out of Jinzhou and put pressure on Li Xiaogong in Shuzhong.
Yuchixin stayed in Chang'an and temporarily became the defense commander of Chang'an. Apparently his performance when crossing the river dissatisfied Li Po, so he returned to his old job.
In addition to strategic arrangements, the three armies must also be rewarded. This is something that happens after proclaiming the emperor, but it cannot be delayed too much. Many people are thinking about what rewards they will receive for their contributions.
In addition, Li Tang's surrendered troops have already numbered more than 100,000 people. If they cannot be relocated as soon as possible, they will soon become a new factor of instability.
Of course, unlike the surrendered troops in Henan, they were relatively "moderate". After all, they did not have as much experience and lessons as the Henan people, so they were quite honest after surrendering.
This matter is not too troublesome. The Jin army, which has been fighting for many years, already has a complete set of mature procedures and is very experienced.
To eliminate the weak and retain the strong, most of them will be repatriated to their hometowns. Those who do not have land will be given land, and those who are willing to become soldiers will be registered. All this is also mixed with the matter of rearranging household registrations, and the workload is not small.
There are so many things going on between the government and the army, and there is also a big event like proclaiming emperor. Who do you think can bear it? That is to say, Li Po has been in power for some years, and he is young, so he can still withstand it. Otherwise, this is all.
Government and military affairs could kill him.
The busier you are, the less impatient you are. This is the experience Li Po has accumulated over the years, so he took the time to come to Wude Hall to loosen some muscles and clear his mind.
Even so, there were still people chasing him, testing his endurance.
