Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 258
The supplies in Luoyang still need a few days, so Jingxiang went overland to Bianliang first, and went directly to the Jiedushi's mansion to see His Majesty the Emperor.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Jing Xiang worked hard all the way, hard work!"

"Your Majesty, I have something to report, and the concubine Xian has also come to Bianliang, and she will arrive in about half a day!"

Youtong is coming too!
"What did the imperial doctor say? Her body can't bear it!"

Jing Xiang looked at His Majesty the Emperor, he couldn't say anything, this virtuous concubine is in Luoyang, but no one can control her, she didn't know where to find a lot of armor and weapons, and found more than a hundred women, practicing every day.

He also gallops his horse every day, which is a hindrance to the view, a hindrance to the view!

Take this time as an example, without the emperor's call, he came by himself, but this is also the emperor's family business, and he is not the censor, so he can't control it, and he can't control it.

This time I came to Bianliang in a hurry, and when the emperor came to call, it was the emperor's five capitals.

"Your Majesty, I think that five capitals cannot be set up to rule the world. This is not a strategy for long-term stability!"

Li Ye looked solemn. To be honest, this method was only discussed with his close ministers. In fact, there was no unified dynasty in Chinese history, so the risk was quite high.

"Jing Xiang, tell me, I'm all ears!"

"Your Majesty, the five capitals are divided to rule the world. Its benefits can be controlled, but its disadvantage lies in the separation of powers. If there is too much power, it will lose checks and balances. If it is small, it will not be enough to deter. Your Majesty, please think about the original intention of the establishment of Jiedushi. The answer is not yet Is it obvious?"

The original intention of the establishment of Jiedushi?

"During the Kaiyuan period, the government soldiers collapsed, and the imperial court had no financial resources to recruit soldiers. At that time, border troubles became more and more serious. Xuanzong designated border towns as Jiedu. Civil and military restraints, granting the discretionary power of Jiedushi, and granting civil affairs, this has created a trend that cannot be lost, and even led to the Anshi Rebellion!"

"Your Majesty, even if the five capitals are restrained, after a long time, the minister can't predict the consequences. If it is a rebellion, the consequences will be unimaginable in one region!"

Li Ye remained silent after listening, thinking about it.

"The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, with tens of thousands of miles from north to south, east to west, beyond its power, and the loss of transferring money and food is huge. If five things are not enough, then what else can we do?"

Jingxiang said: "The Great Tang set up roads to monitor the localities. The officials thought that they could redefine the roads and endow them with the power of governance. They were under the direct control of the imperial court. Those with military power were not allowed to govern. , Set up a division of local soldiers and floating soldiers to check and balance each other, this is the method of the minister."

It's not that he hasn't thought about Jingxiang's method. In fact, it is an addition to the existing way, giving governance power, and the changes are the least.

"Aiqing, let's draw up a charter! It won't work if you set up five. If I want to set up a new capital in Bianliang, it's fine. There are trade-offs between gains and losses!"

"No!" Jing Xiang said again: "Your Majesty, I have one more matter. Luoyang's money and food will arrive soon. If it is transported to Bianliang, it will have to be transferred to Bianliang, and the loss will be quite large. The town soldiers go to the ferry of the Yellow River, and go with them, and the remaining imperial military supplies will be transferred to Bianliang!"

Li Ye nodded and said, "Just as Ai Qing said!"

His Majesty the Emperor ordered: Wuning Army, Tianping Army, Taining Army, Wei Bo Army, and Hedong Army moved to the Yellow River Ferry, and sent people to set up their respective camps.

He also sent someone to inform Li Keyong of the news of Youtong's coming to Bian, but before he went out, he sent a message to the King of Longxi County to see him.

"pass!"

After a while, Li Keyong entered.

Li Keyong came here this time for the purpose of withdrawing troops. With the emperor's promise, Li Keyong hurried back to Hedong to prepare.

Li Ye couldn't persuade Li Keyong to compete with Helian Duo on this matter, and it wouldn't do any harm to the court.

Moreover, He Lianduo is not alone and helpless. Li Kuangwei, the envoy of Lulong Jiedu, should be able to save him, but Li Keyong may not necessarily benefit from it.

"When Li Junwang wants to send troops, tell me that the imperial court will issue a rebellion edict to set the record straight!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Li Siyuan, my false son, has been in Luoyang for a long time. The officers and men under his command miss their homeland. I want to transfer Li Siyuan's troops back to Hedong..."

Li Ye was taken aback, it was a coincidence that the ones escorting Youtong were Li Siyuan and his followers.

"I also have a matter. I haven't told the county king yet. Youtong has come to Bianliang..."

"This……"

Isn't Youtong pregnant?How come here, Li Keyong is a little confused.

What Li Ye thought was that it was inconvenient for him to keep Li Siyuan, but Li Youtong could!

"I have ordered the pro-army cavalry to meet them, and they will probably be here soon!"

…………

In the hinterland of the Central Plains of Henan, there is a map of Pingchuan.

Li Youtong had spent enough time in Luoyang, what he saw every day was either palace walls or city walls.

At this time, riding a horse gallops, how can there be so many scruples.

"My lady, my lady, slow down, be careful!"

Li Youtong didn't care about it, but the female officer who followed her was very anxious.

After a while, Li Youtong was sweating all over, slowly stopped the horse, turned over and dismounted.

"How far is it from Bianliang!"

"Ahead is Bajiaodu, and after Bajiaodu is Bianliang."

Li Youtong fixed his eyes and gazed, he could already see the outline, he was very happy in his heart.

She was originally a girl, newly married, and she hadn't seen him for three or four months, so she naturally missed her very much, but when she smelled the sweat on her body, Li Youtong frowned slightly.

"Camp in place!"

Li Siyuan shook his head, this is almost at the gate of Bianliang, what kind of camp is set up, what kind of moths are the aunts and grandmothers making?

But before he got close, he was driven back by the palace maid.

The empress wants to take a bath and change clothes, why are you a stinky man following up to join in the fun.

The tent was set up, the palace servants boiled water and added firewood, and put flower petals in the barrel. When the heat rose, the beauty entered the water lightly.

call!
This time, the sun was setting, and then the dress was worn, the mirror was yellow, and she was dressed in palace attire.

I stopped riding a horse and replaced it with a sedan chair.

"Get off!"

……

Bianliang, the official residence of Jiedushi
Mrs. Liu was also picked up, and there was no more etiquette in the side room.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly pulled Li Youtong, looked to the left and looked again, and saw that there was no abnormal color, so she felt relieved and said: "You have been bumpy all the way, so don't worry about it, you have eaten well recently, do you feel any discomfort?"

"Mom, everything is fine!"

"That's good!" Liu said: "Go to see His Majesty, you, you have been waiting for such a long time, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, but this dress is getting more and more attractive!"

"mother!"

Seeing and seeing each other, Li Keyong walked up to the mother and daughter, and said, "I'm going back to the camp first, and when my wife is well, let's go back soon too!"

"Father, daughter and mother haven't seen each other for a long time, so we can't stay longer!"

Liu said with a smile: "Tomorrow is plenty of time, let's forget about today!"

Li Keyong walked out of the door, and Liu Shi said quietly: "Mother told you, it's good to remember, when your Majesty is in the midst of a dragon and a tiger, you can't be greedy for a while, and hurt the baby in your belly!"

"If you hurt the baby, how could you hurt the baby in your belly?"

This silly baby!
Liu's words were close to her ears, and Li Youtong's eyes were red with what she said.

"Is it clear?"

Li Youtong said coyly: "Understood."
