On the newly opened school grounds, tens of thousands of new recruits are training.
There were generals in one row and civil servants in the other, which was quite a scene.
Li Mi's forehead looked more protruding than before, and his eyes were quite sharp, but the bags under his eyes were getting bigger.
"We must practice rigorously. In the coming year, I will personally lead the army out of Shu and defeat the rebels!"
"yes!"
At this time, the drill below was over. I don’t know who did it. Tens of thousands of soldiers knelt down and shouted:
"Long live your Majesty!"
The sound waves rolled in, and the momentum was powerful.
Li Mi stroked his beard and said, "Reward!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Han Shitou came over and said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Sanfu is here."
Zhao Sanfu walked up to the stage and walked very quickly, looking solemn.
"What's the matter?"
Li Mi asked.
"Your Majesty, the Northern Xinjiang Army conquered Bianjing, Nian Xu surrendered, and the Southern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed."
The smile at the corner of Li Mi's eyes gradually turned into crow's feet, the crow's feet gradually turned up, and his old eyes gradually turned into triangles.
"That bastard!"
Li Mi's face turned red, then he took a deep breath and slowly looked at the ministers.
Some of the ministers' faces were ashen, while others were dull...
"My lords, please don't forget Chang'an!"
Li Mi stamped his feet and immediately returned to the palace.
The so-called palace is still the big house. As for the palace, it is still under construction.
In order to build a palace, Shu levied 15% more taxes last year. The people below complained a lot, but the officials reported the good news but not the bad news. They said that the people were overjoyed when they learned that the palace was built for His Majesty.
Li Bi was very proud of this, saying that justice lies in the heart of the people, and sooner or later that scoundrel will betray his relatives and leave his family.
Li Bi got off the stage, followed closely by Han Shitou, followed by Zhao Sanfu.
"explain!"
Li Mi mounted his horse.
Zhao Sanfu followed him on horseback and said: "The Northern Xinjiang army attacked smoothly all the way, and finally had a decisive battle with the Hanbi army in front of Yingshui..."
Recently, Li Bi has been listening to the generals analyze the battle situation a lot, so he is very familiar with Ying Shui and Han Bi.
"In this battle, Hanbi was defeated and committed suicide. Then the Northern Xinjiang Army avoided the Yingshui defenders, crossed the river downstream, defeated the defenders, and went straight to Bianjing..."
"Han Bi is incompetent!" Li Bi sneered.
"Yes. Then the Northern Xinjiang army came to the city, and the city was in panic. Peng Jing and others actually kidnapped Nian Xu and his family and gave them to the King of Qin."
How could it still be like this... Han Shitou's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Shameless!" Li Mi scolded.
"Then the Northern Xinjiang Army attacked, and the defenders killed each other and opened the gates to dedicate the city."
These words are simple, but in the eyes of knowledgeable people, they are worth pondering and can be used as teachings for military generals.
Li Mi hurried back to the station, and Han Shitou heard a commotion in the house. Later, when Li Mi came out, Han Shitou took a look inside.
The place is in mess.
"Your Majesty, let's have a meal!" Han Shitou advised, "Your health is important."
"Go to the Supreme Being!"
…
The Supreme Emperor Li Yuan was drinking, and the palace people were dancing to entertain him. The two maids beside him were serving food and wine. They were very happy. When they saw the emperor coming, they looked at him sideways and said, "You haven't come to see me for a long time. It's because you are in trouble."
What happened?"
"You are happy!" Li Mi sat down and said, "Here comes the wine!"
A waiter brought wine, and Li Mi drank several glasses of wine, his face flushed.
Li Yuan put down Kuaizi and sighed: "What can make you like this must be power. Yang Songcheng and others are like phoenixes in Shu, and he is not as good as a chicken. So, what about the news outside Shu, that scoundrel?"
Li Mi picked up the jug and took a sip. He probably choked, threw the jug away, and coughed violently.
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!" Han Shitou patted his back, and the anxious look fell in Li Yuan's eyes, making him sigh: "If there were loyal people like Han Shitou around me back then, you would
It would be difficult for this rebellious son to think of a palace change."
Li Mi gasped and took another sip of wine to help him feel better.
"That bastard destroyed Southern Zhou Dynasty!"
Li Yuan's hand loosened and the wine glass fell on the plate with a bang.
"He...he destroyed Southern Zhou?"
Li Mi nodded.
"The Northern Liao Dynasty was destroyed by him, and everyone in the world said it was destiny. Now the Southern Zhou Dynasty has also been destroyed... He has destroyed the enemies of the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years. What will happen to the people in the world? Let's wait and see!"
Li Yuan slapped the eucalyptus table and cried loudly, "What a tragedy! What a tragedy! I should die without a burial place!"
"Instead of worrying about this, you might as well think of a solution for me!" Li Bi's eyes were cold.
"What can be done?" Li Yuan wiped away his tears, "The world is ignorant. That evil bastard ended the troubled times and also destroyed the enemies of the Tang Dynasty. Even an old farmer in the countryside can see that the world will be peaceful. Brother
, is this your protection?"
Li Yuan raised his head and looked at the beam, "You must hate me as your brother, so you protect that scoundrel every step of the way... If you want to take my life, just come! Come!"
"Are you crazy?"
Li Yuanzhuang was crazy, but Li Mi was extremely calm, "He destroyed the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and then he will return to Chang'an. He will return to Chang'an and ascend the throne, and then attack Shu in the name of righteousness..."
"Let those people go back!" Li Yuan lowered his head, and the madness in his eyes gradually dissipated.
"who?"
"Why brother fell? Our plan is one thing. The reason why he offended the world's talents with his own reforms. Those people followed us to Shu, put them back!"
Li Yuan's eyes were bright, "Other than you and my son who died in the past, don't those people have any guilt? They will worry about the revenge of that scoundrel. Once they return to Chang'an, what do you think they will do?"
"I'm afraid that scoundrel is also looking forward to those people returning!"
"Isn't that right?"
Li Yuan looked at Li Mi gloomily, "It was still useful for you to keep those people earlier. At least you are still upright in the eyes of the world. Now that scoundrel has become more powerful, what is the use of keeping these people? They will only compete with you.
He has such pitiful power. If it doesn’t work, someone will want to take his place.”
"Those people have been complaining more and more recently." Li Mi sneered and said, "Jingtai reported that after learning about the evil bastard's attack on the Southern Zhou Dynasty, many people want to return to Chang'an."
"This is a betrayal of relatives." Li Yuan said with some annoyance: "I heard that those people often ask you for money and food?"
Those people fled in panic and didn't bring much money with them. A lot of things happened on the way and some were lost. After arriving in Shu, they bought houses and properties, spent their money like water, and soon became poor.
When he ran out of money, he naturally went to Li Mi, but Li Mi kept the money to support the army and counterattack, so it was particularly unpleasant to give it to him.
"Who said that?" Li Mi glanced at the palace officials, and everyone trembled.
"Don't care who said it, this is a dangerous sign." Li Yuan said coldly: "This is courtesy first and then attack. Once you, the emperor, cannot provide money and food, who can blame them if they fall out?"
"I have an army in my hands, so why should I be afraid of them leaping into disgrace?" Li Mi was very confident, "However, keeping them at this moment is a burden. It only brings disadvantages but no advantages."
"Huang Chunhui can't let go!" Li Yuan said.
"I know." Li Bi said calmly: "Huang Chunhui is kind to that scoundrel. When he is in my hands, that scoundrel will always feel uncomfortable. Now, the more uncomfortable he is, the happier I am."
"Hurry up!"
"I don't need you to remind me."
Li Mi threw away the wine glass, stood up and said: "The people around the Supreme Emperor are lazy, replace them all!"
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"
…
"The Southern Zhou Dynasty is gone?" A servant of the Wei Zhong family sent the news.
"No more."
Huang Chunhui was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath, sat down, and drooped his eyelids.
"good!"
…
"The world is settled."
Wang Douluo sighed in the check-in room: "There is no hope for that one!"
…
Yang Songcheng, Zheng Qi and others were drinking.
When the attendant told the news, Zheng Qi's reddish face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.
"That bastard actually destroyed the Southern Zhou?" Zheng Qi sneered: "The Southern Zhou was weak. If I had replaced it, I would have been able to destroy it."
Zhang Huan's voice came from next door, "In the last southern expedition, if we had not withdrawn early, the entire army would have been wiped out. The Southern Zhou Dynasty is not easy to fight!"
Does the black-headed snake actually dare to speak for that scoundrel?
The courage Zheng Qi had just mustered up suddenly disappeared.
"He is going back to Chang'an!"
Chunyushan's eyes turned red and he looked at Yang Songcheng, "Zhang Zhang, he will definitely attack Shu in the next step. The road to Shu is difficult, but he will definitely be able to defend it."
These words are like self-questioning, self-answering, and self-encouragement.
Yang Songcheng was thinner than when he was in Chang'an. Looking at his cheeks that were slightly sunken, he said indifferently: "It is one thing to conquer the world, but it is another thing to dominate the world. That scoundrel has no famous teachers and professors, and there are no great talents around him.
.If you look at his past, he has always relied on brute force to act. Anyone who disobeys will be suppressed. If he refuses to listen again, he will be killed. This method works in a corner. It can be used in the world..."
"Guanzhong!" Chunyushan's eyes became more serious. "How many families in Guanzhong were enemies of Xiaojing back then. Xiaojing went away, and now his son is back. What will those people think?"
"Xiao Jing was empty-handed back then. If the emperor didn't support him, he couldn't do anything. But that scoundrel has the master of tiger and wolf in his hand. If he holds the butcher knife high..."
Zheng Qi sneered, "His troubles are about to begin."
Yang Songcheng took a sip of wine and ate a piece of mushroom. "That scoundrel is suppressing the local powerful people, but who can rule the place? If the powerful people don't care or do evil things, the place will be in chaos. He said that it is forbidden to annex the land and prohibit loan sharking."
...But these are the livelihoods that many families rely on to support their families in Hukou. If he wants to cut off the roots of those families, those families will naturally kill him."
Yang Songcheng pointed to everyone, "The leaders of those families are all in Shu."
A follower knocked on the door and came in, "Your Majesty has convened people for a meeting."
Later, Li Mi convened the ministers to discuss matters.
"Those people who followed me to Sichuan are very loyal, but their relatives are scattered in the pass, so that their flesh and blood are separated. Every time I think about this, I feel a little uneasy."
Li Mi looked at the ministers gently, "Go back!"
Everyone was stunned.
Yang Songcheng's eyes changed, and he looked at his son-in-law with appreciation.
"Anyone who is willing to go back should go back!" Li Mi said in a firm tone.
Then the news spread.
Yang Songcheng and Chun Yushan stood outside the emperor's residence, watching those people congratulating each other with their foreheads and hands.
"You and I can't go back," Chun Yushan said.
"That scoundrel hates you and me to the core. If we go back, we will die!" Yang Songcheng pointed at those people, "Their ecstasy at the moment will soon turn into anger. Guanzhong and Chang'an will be burned to ashes by this anger."
