Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 53
This "Your Majesty" shouted softly, filled with emotions!It seems that he wants to express all the grievances of the past few years.

It's not that Jingxiang doesn't want to serve the country, there is really no way out!
Jingxiang studied hard since he was a child. A few years ago, also in Chang'an, Jingxiang took part in the imperial examination with great enthusiasm, but the result disappointed him, and he lost his name.

Since that year, the sky has changed.

That year, Huang Chao's army attacked Chang'an, and the emperor fled westward.

Jingxiang fled everywhere with his family and mouth, ate wild vegetables, gnawed bark, and ate Guanyin soil, his stomach was bloated for half a month, and he almost died.

The only son didn't make it through, closed his eyes in his arms, and said to him before he died: "Father, I'm hungry!"

Jiefa's wife was caught by the rebels, unwilling to be humiliated, and angrily committed suicide.

The whole family becomes him alone.

He hated it before, for this great Tang world, for this world.

But he is a scholar, and he has no strength to restrain a chicken.

I can only live in Zhu Wen and find a place to stay in this troubled world.

Zhu Wen valued him very much and obeyed him.

Jingxiang often thinks: "Zhu Quanzhong is also an official of Datang. He plans for Zhu Quanzhong, and he is also serving Datang."

After a long time, Jingxiang no longer lied to himself.

Where does Zhu Wen still have Datang in his heart, Datang is just a banner erected by Zhu Wen to facilitate him to fight for more territory.

But he couldn't turn back.

In Jingxiang's eyes, the imperial court was like a withered old man who died at some point.

He was unwilling to be buried with a dying dynasty.

Facts are just as Jing Xiang expected, the imperial court is getting weaker and weaker, and the feudal towns are more arrogant.

He was desperate.

He assisted Zhu Quanzhong wholeheartedly.

Even if Zhu Quanzhong gave him the bitch he played with himself.

Even if that bitch is always insulting him.

He hasn't changed at all.

But now, Jing Xiang wavered.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty carried out eight generations of his ancestors, what can he do?

Aren't you afraid that your ancestral grave will be stolen by His Majesty the Emperor?

…………

Li Ye gave Jing Xiang a high standard of courtesy, personally removed Jing Xiang's shackles, and helped him up.

As for Yang Shihou, whose eyeballs were about to pop out, Li Ye threw him into the small black room for confinement without hesitation.

A fierce horse will not ride unless it is tamed, and an eagle must be tamed before it can be released to soar into the sky.

The remaining soldiers and servants were mixed with half of the sand, organized into a school, and arranged to stand in a military posture in the Xiyuan school grounds.

Datang's food is not rich, how can it support these idlers.

At this time, Li Ye took Jingxiang into the Chong'en Hall. Next to the spirit tablet of Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty, there was the spirit tablet of Jingxiang's ancestor Jinghui.

This was the sixth year of Kaiyuan, Tang Xuanzong personally arranged to place the Jinghui Lingpai on the side of Zhongzong, and it was shared with the Taimiao.

What a stroke of genius.

Jing Xiang couldn't kneel down and wept bitterly.

Li Ye stood aside, and waited until Jing Xiang's mood calmed down, and then said: "Every time I read the events of Jing Long's year and see the events of your ancestors, I am filled with emotion. Zhong Ye (Jing Hui's character) is loyal to the king." He made great contributions to the court, but was killed by an adulterer, and received this capital punishment (Jinghui was framed by Wu Sansi, falsely preached the imperial decree, and died Ling Chi.), really admirable and lamentable."

Jing Xiang said: "The ancestors died for the country of the Tang Dynasty, and the place where they died is the honor of respecting the family, and where Xiang went."

Li Ye nodded slightly, Jing Xiang had already expressed his attitude, so there was no need for him to hang around.

"I confer on you a Hanlin Bachelor, and hope that you will inherit the glory of your father and ancestors and make new achievements for the Tang Dynasty."

Li Ye had thought about this official position for a long time. There was no rank for a Hanlin bachelor, so he didn't need to go through the procedures of the Ministry of Officials.

In the Tang system, according to the direction of public opinion, there must be scholars of literature and classics, who actually followed the emperor and answered the emperor's questions at any time, and thought that "the emperor was private."

Just like that, it is an official position that many people envy, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, how many ranks in front of the emperor?
At the beginning, Li Bai, the poet fairy, also did it.

Hanlin bachelors, public Hanlin Academy, and the Hanlin Academy, where they wait for the imperial edict, the four sides of the hall express their criticisms, responses and articles.

If a Hanlin scholar adds the title of "Zhizhigao", he can draft a document, and the emperor stamps the seal, that is the imperial decree.

Of course, there's no need for Li Ye to add "Zhizhigao" to Jingxiang all at once.

Jingxiang should be able to understand the reason behind this.

"I'm in Anyifang, and I prepared a yard for you. Bo Han Rang will take you to have a look later. If you need anything, you can tell Han Rang, or you can tell me."

Jing Xiang didn't say a word, and bowed again, three times.

Li Ye walked out of the Chong En Hall.

…………

In the southwest of Shangshu Province, the congenital gossip is Kun, a dirty and despicable place, there are connected houses here, and it is called the prison platform.

The terrain of the prison platform is low and quite humid. After entering, there is a dark corridor with compartments on both sides, and the place is very cramped.

What was even more unbearable was the musty smell, the smell of feces and urine, blood, and the mixed gas in the air, even if you just smelled it, you would feel like vomiting.

Yang Shihou was in the overhead compartment, with hay spread sparsely on the ground. He lay on it, staring blankly at the beams of the roof.

This is a prisoner whom His Majesty personally called and took care of. Naturally, the head of the prison did not dare to neglect, and delivered the meal himself, and would come over to have a look at it every half an hour.

When he came to this place, many of his brains were out of order. If he committed suicide, he would be punished. The cell boss didn't want to touch this brow.

The food was left at the door of the cell, and the cell leader did not speak. The emperor ordered that no one should talk to this person. The cell leader was so frightened that he quickly moved the prisoners from the next room to another place.

But the meal is really good, and there is meat, but he hasn't smelled meat for a few days.

The cell boss curled his lips and left, and Yang Shihou got up.

He has survived even the toughest days, and it's okay to go to jail.

Eat and drink.

If one day the old emperor is unhappy and chops him up with a knife, he will be worth it.

In this life, he has been beautiful, he has also been to the place where the emperor lives, and it is not uncommon for him to meet those pink and tender official ladies.

Earn one day at a time.

Master Yang took the food and began to eat it...

……

Yushan's personal guards reported Yang Shihou's situation to the emperor every day.

Li Ye shook his head, Master Yang, he didn't dare to use it even if he wanted to.

These former thieves have lost their hearts a long time ago, and they dare not expect them to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

How to deal with it? Li Ye couldn't make up his mind, so it was a pity to cut him off with a knife, so he could only endure it first.

Walking into Yanying Hall, Li Ye frowned slightly as he looked at the memorials piled up on his desk. It was not so easy to be a responsible emperor. After all, not every emperor was as dedicated as Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

After opening the top memorial, Li Ye immediately stood up, staring blankly at the words on the memorial.

"Chen Zhaoyi Jiedu envoy Meng Fangyi cried blood to report to the emperor. In December of the first year of Wende at Guiwei, Hedong Jiedu envoy Li Keyong raised troops to Zhaoyi. Luzhou fell, and bandits surrounded Xingzhou. Minister... "

If Li Ke didn't need to fight Bianliang, why did he use troops against Zhaoyi?Li Ye suddenly felt powerless...
