Chapter 128 The Root of Civil Disturbance
Li Ye saw that his grandfather didn't take An Lushan's rebellion seriously, so he couldn't contain the anger in his heart and said: "Now the Tang Dynasty has internal and external troubles, the land has been annexed, the military system of the government has been corrupted, and the people everywhere are struggling to survive. , how could he have no ambition?"

Li Linfu shook his head, "The frontier army is too powerful. It's not just the problem of Anlu Mountain. Sishun can also separate Hexi, if they have the heart, they can stand on their own, can it be that only you can see this problem, and no one else can see it?"

Li Ye calmed down and asked, "Then how does the court deal with this risk?"

"The imperial court has a system to restrain them, one is hostages, An Lushan, Ge Shuhan, Gao Xianzhi, An Sishun, etc., their eldest sons are all hostages in Chang'an, and at the same time the emperor sent a supervising army.

And on my side, every three months I have to send people to investigate them. They dare not act rashly. As long as there is a strict system, it is not so easy for him to rebel. "

Li Ye was really helpless. When Li Linfu was the prime minister, the system was indeed sound, and all the generals were honest, including An Lushan, who did not dare to make any small moves.

But after Yang Guozhong took over as Xiangguo, various systems were abandoned or abolished, which eventually led to An Lushan's rebellion.

"Grandfather, these systems treat the symptoms but not the root cause! The best way is to eliminate the risk."

Li Linfu took another two steps with his hands behind his back, and said to Li Ye: "You said that the people's lives are difficult, the court's financial constraints, and land annexation are serious. These grandfathers understand. In fact, these are not the root of the chaos in the world, and foreign troubles are not as serious as you said. Seriously, although Tubo is spying on Longyou and Hexi, we can deal with it.

The ambitious Western Turks were wiped out in the early years of Tianbao. Although Huihe gradually became stronger, the grasslands are lush and fertile, and the nomads have no motivation to go south. Although you worry about the country and the people, you don’t know the root of the crisis in the Tang Dynasty . "

Li Ye calmed down slowly, "Can I ask my grandfather to tell me!"

Li Linfu sat down and said slowly: "The matter has to start with the mutiny of the six towns 300 years ago. After living for decades, apart from appearance and language, they are still Han Chinese, their customs and personalities have been changed.

Later, after the rebellion of the defenders of the six towns was suppressed, the Northern Wei court moved hundreds of thousands of sergeants from the six towns and their families to Hebei, Shandong and Guanlong for resettlement.

These army town soldiers are all brave and tough, not afraid of the government, everyone can act alone, and they are also very united. They oppress the good, rob the land, join forces against the government, and kill people without restraint, so that the governments everywhere have to compromise. They quickly It has become a local tycoon in every county and even every township.

Several 10 people were sent to Hebei, Shandong, and Guanlong, and two major power groups quickly formed, which have been fighting against each other since the Northern Wei Dynasty until today. "

Li Ye blurted out, "Hebei Group and Guanlong Group."

"That's right!"

Li Linfu continued: "Under the control of these two major forces, the Northern Wei Dynasty split into the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty, and the two major power groups simply established their own countries and established the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty.

The Northern Zhou Dynasty was composed of the Guanlong faction. First, the Yuwen family won the throne, and then the Yang family overthrew the Yuwen family to establish the Sui Dynasty. Then our Li family replaced the Yang family and established the Tang Dynasty.

Ye'er, you understand now!It was not only our Li family that ruled the Tang Dynasty, but the entire Guanlong Group. The wealth and power of the Tang Dynasty were basically divided by the Guanlong Group. Wu Zetian, like Yang Guang, wanted to get rid of the control of the Guanlong Group before moving the capital. Arriving in Luoyang, all failed in the end, and the capital was moved back to Chang'an again. "

"What about the Hebei Group?" Li Ye asked again.

"The Hebei Group is precisely called the Hebei-Shandong Group. After the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty did not kill them all, but continued to reuse them and use them to contain the Guanlong Group.

After the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Dou Jiande and Wagang forces were defeated, and they turned to support Emperor Taizong. The Wagang forces behind Taizong were actually Hebei and Shandong forces, and the forces supporting Prince Li Jiancheng were mainly Guanlong forces. .

However, the Hebei Power Group was not reused because of Taizong's victory. On the contrary, they were gradually marginalized, especially today, relying on the support of the Guanlong nobles to seize the throne, the Hebei Power Group was completely suppressed, and the Guanlong Group was almost monopolized. All the wealth of the Tang Dynasty was taken away, and the emperor could not touch their interests, which made the Hebei power group extremely dissatisfied.

Seeing that the hearts of the people in Hebei and Shandong are not attached, the Hebei faction is gradually showing signs of rebellion, and the Guanlong power is growing more and more. A native of Hexi and loyal to the imperial court, he can suppress the imminent moves of the Hebei power group. "

Only then did Li Ye understand the intention of the imperial court and introduce Hu people to balance the Hebei Group and the Guanlong Group, but this is a double-edged sword!
Although it was useful in the early stage, isn't the Anshi Rebellion and the separatist rule of the feudal towns the result of the alliance of interests between the Hu people and the Hebei forces?
Li Ye was helpless, and said again: "Grandfather, let's continue talking about Tong Luo!"

Li Linfu said: "I can persuade the emperor not to let An Lushan participate in the Absi rebellion. I think your plan is to let me lead the army to sit in Shuofang, use Shuofang soldiers and horses to make Guo Ziyi the main general, and use Beiting Jiedu to envoy Cheng Qianli." Cut off Albus' retreat route and completely encircle and suppress Albus's troops."

Li Ye leaned forward and said, "Grandfather doesn't have to go to Shuofang in person, but he must become the commander. He can sit in Yuanzhou and gather all kinds of troops to go north. If this battle is handled well, grandfather will gain great prestige, at least three to five years. The Son of Heaven will not touch the grandfather."

Li Linfu nodded, and Sun Tzu suggested that he should be the coach, and it touched his heart, but the emperor might not agree!
He smiled wryly and said: "In this case, the prince is usually appointed as the commander-in-chief, and military power will not be easily given to outsiders!"

Li Ye thought for a while and said, "Grandfather can give it a try. Grandson thinks that since the emperor is very wary of the prince, he may not give military power to the prince. In addition, grandson has another suggestion."

"Tell me, do you have any other suggestions?"

"The imperial court can send [-] troops, but this is only a superficial army. The purpose is to make Albus feel lucky that he can defeat the imperial army and occupy Shuofang, so that he will not escape.

Sun Er's intention is to combine light and dark. On the surface, there are [-] imperial troops, but in secret, Zhang Qiqiu's [-] Shuofang army in Hehuang should be sent back to assist Shuofang. Only an army of [-] can defeat [-] Tongluo cavalry, otherwise the number of troops is too small, and once the defeat is disastrous, grandfather will be responsible. "

Li Linfu nodded, "You are right. This is a double-edged sword. It can either strengthen my aspect or overturn it. I will try my best to convince the emperor according to your plan!"

Having said all that should be said, Li Ye said goodbye, and when he walked to the door, he turned around and said, "If one day An Lushan forms an alliance with the Hebei Group, what should we do?"

Li Linfu nodded slowly, "I will take your reminder to heart!"

In the end, Li Min could not escape the severe punishment of his father Li Linfu. He was suspected of buying a murderer to injure others. He was dismissed from office by the Ministry of Officials first.

His wife and several sons were also sent to live in Hanzhong Manor, and they were no longer allowed to live in Xiangguo Mansion.

At this moment, the top five competition also kicked off. This time the top five competition included Xiaoqiwei Polo Team, Fan Yang Army Polo Team, Longyou Army Polo Team, Anxi Army Polo Team and Tianpeng Polo Team .

Among the five teams, the Xiaoqiwei Polo Team and Fan Yangjun Polo Team are the strongest, while the Tianpeng Polo Team is the weakest. They were very lucky in the last round. top five.

There was no such good luck in the top five matches. The Tianpeng polo team drew the Fan Yangjun polo team in the first match.

 Many history books say that the Anlushan rebellion was caused by Li Linfu's improper employment, but I think it should be analyzed from the historical latitude and longitude. The Sui and Tang Dynasties are actually the continuation of the Northern Wei and Northern Zhou.

  The struggle between the two major power groups in the north did not end until the Song Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, the entire economy had transferred to the south of the Yangtze River, and the north declined.

  Just like we analyze the Ming and Qing Dynasties, we cannot ignore the influence of the Jiangnan chaebols for more than 1000 years.
