Li Yan hasn't been so relaxed and comfortable for a long time. If you want to use one word to accurately describe his current feelings, it is freedom. Unrestrained freedom.

Since Huang Chao attacked Chang'an, Li Yan had to run west to Chengdu. A few days later - Huang Chao pacified, Li Yan finally returned to Chang'an. When Li Ye attacked Hedong, he was held hostage by Li Maozhen again.

Although Li Maozhen did not hurt him, it is easy to imagine how frustrating Li Yan's life was when he was powerful officials controlled the court.

Even if he travels all day long, he will lose his taste. Although Li Yan doesn't know the word depression, he also understands that if he continues like this, he will have to collapse.

Whenever he was in trouble, Li Yan would always sigh to the two eunuchs around him, saying, "When will Brother Ye come to save me, and when will he destroy those traitors?"

As an emperor, Li Yan knew from the bottom of his heart that he was not a good emperor. Since ancient times, an emperor who ignored political affairs and only cared about pleasure would naturally not be a good emperor.

But whether you are a good emperor or not, you are controlled by powerful ministers, restricted by power, and you are worried all day long whether your life will end. That is a great humiliation and cannot be tolerated.

Whenever his personal dignity is humiliated by war, Li Yan swears that when he gets out of trouble, he must work hard to become a good emperor in the future and never be greedy for pleasure and repeat the same mistakes.

God favored him, and Li Ye saved him several times in distress. When the opportunity was held in his hand, Li Yan was often excited for three days. But three days later, when he saw those memorials piled up like a mountain, he felt as big as a fight. Facing the old ministers in the court who had become a savage, he could not do anything and could only get angry.

After not having enough time to persist, Li Yan did not want to see those hateful faces again, nor did he want to review those memorials that often require revisions twice and three times because he was not right in handling his opinions. As a result, the faces of his ministers became more and more abominable, and the memorials on the desk became more and more.

At the beginning, Li Yan would ask Li Ye to teach him and help him handle government affairs.

Later, I simply waved my hand and sent the memorial directly to Prince An's Mansion.

"Anyway, Brother Ye is here." Li Yan often thinks, "The emperor does not have the principle of doing everything himself. Just find a capable minister and help him deal with chores, otherwise what will the prime minister do? The emperor only needs to make an idea on major matters."

So Li Ye became the ruling prime minister. He was the ruling prime minister who was in charge of the central government and was not the so-called ruling affairs.

When Li Xian was at its most powerful position, he did not reach this position.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the royal family has not become prime ministers, let alone the ruling prime minister.

This matter was strongly recommended by some old ministers. Unfortunately, there were too few people and the voice was small, and Li Yan ignored it at all.

When Li Yan saw Li Ye enter the door and drinking and watching singing and dancing in the warm hall, he stood up staggeringly with his wine glass and said happily: "Brother Ye, you are finally here. Hurry up, have a few drinks with me! Haha, it's still interesting to drink with you. Those guys have too bad alcohol tolerance, too bad!"

Li Ye frowned slightly when he saw the scene of the palace full of spring breeze.

Those women who were singing and dancing were celebrating Li Ye’s entry, and they caught the other party’s frown, their movements were stiff, their smiles were a little unnatural, and their fear could not be concealed. Who wouldn’t know that King An was conquering the world and was powerful all over the world. If they angered him, they would definitely suffer a lot if they didn’t say they lost their lives.

Moreover, every time Li Ye enters the palace, he will persuade Li Yan to be diligent in political affairs and not to be immersed in his voice and emotions, and he will not have any good looks to them, such as the singers and palace maids.

Although Li Maozhen often pretends to say similar things, he knows that it is different from his psychology and different effects when he says it to Li Ye.

"Brother Ye, don't scold them today. They didn't bewitch me from enjoying the pleasure. I really couldn't stand those ministers who were indifferent and ineffective in doing things. I didn't have to work so hard with you outside. Oh, you don't know how uncomfortable I felt when Li Maozhen was in Chang'an. Now I can finally relax for a few days. You have to understand me!"

Seeing that Li Ye's expression was unwilling, Li Yan came over to climb over his shoulder, pulled him to the case and sat down, and had someone serve wine and complained.

Li Ye sighed secretly and had to have a few drinks with Li Yan first.

Both of them were young and often hang out together, and no one of them had any beautiful women. At that time, because Li Ye could not practice and Li Xian was too upright in his work, he offended many people. None of the powerful children in Chang'an were willing to get along with him. If it weren't for Li Yan, he would have to suffer from depression at a young age.

——It’s fine if you get depression, at most it will harm yourself, and there is a possibility of rescue. If your psychology is dark and distorted, it will harm others and cause resentment from heaven, then it will be completely over.

Li Ye couldn't bear to blame him for his brother who had even passed the throne to him in his previous life.

He hopes that the other party can be a good emperor so that he can feel at ease to fight outside. When the Tang Dynasty returns to its prosperity, they will accept worship from all over the world together, which is also a beautiful story. By then, he becomes a fairy and Li Yan governs the national affairs, which will be a perfect merit.

But everyone has their own ambitions, he also knows that it is unrealistic to force Li Yan to be an emperor.

With Li Ye drinking with him, Li Yan was indeed in great interest and laughter sounded from time to time.

After discovering that Li Ye had no intention of scolding them today, the singers and dancers quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and their movements slowly returned to normal.

"Brother Ye, what are you going to do with that guy Li Maozhen?" Li Yan, who was slightly drunk, burped, looked serious when he asked this, gritted his teeth, and showed a strong hatred for Li Maozhen. "When this guy was in Chang'an, I suffered a lot!"

In order to recruit soldiers, Li Maozhen even deducted the cost of Li Yan's palace. He often pretended to be a loyal minister and disgusted him by persuading Li Yan to care about the country's affairs, but he hated him.

If there was a chance, Li Yan would like to tie Li Maozhen to the pillar and let the other party be beaten by wind and rain for ten years.

"Li Maozhen is going back to Chang'an." Li Ye said, "She has pacified the entire Huainan area."

This is also the reason why Li Ye came to see Li Yan today. Before Li Maozhen returns to the court, he must calm Li Yan's emotions. Otherwise, Li Yan would be shouting at Li Maozhen and killing him, and there would be a good show.

From the bottom of his heart, Li Ye was not opposed to watching such a good show. He also wanted to see Li Maozhen, a demon-like woman, lying on the ground and being scolded to grit her teeth, but she could not do anything - she must have blushed and her fingers were shattered on the floor. That was a really good scene.

This is a bad taste, and Li Ye is not lacking in bad taste, especially when he pretends to be a man and deceives all over the world and Li Maozhen, who has been disguised as a man, has also deceived him for so long.

"What?! This is actually something like this?!" Li Yan heard the truth that Li Ye whispered to him, and was surprised that his chin was about to fall into the wine glass, and he forgot his resentment towards Li Maozhen.

Li Ye raised his eyebrows proudly, "So far, only three people in the world know about this matter, one of them is still dead - that is Gao Pian. Your Majesty must keep it confidential."

Such a powerful secret made Li Yan rub his hands excitedly, "No wonder, no wonder... I always think this guy is too yin, so it turns out to be like this! Haha, when you say this, it really looks like it... This is really a layer of window paper. When you pierce it, you will suddenly be enlightened and full of spring light!"

Judging from his excited look, he probably forgot his hatred for Li Maozhen and just thought about how to tease him.

Li Ye did not disturb Li Yan's fantasy, and took a few sips of grape wine. He was just waiting to enjoy the singing and dancing in the hall, but suddenly he heard Li Yan's words and couldn't help but spit out a sip of wine.

Li Yan looked at Li Ye seriously and curiously and said: "Brother Ye, you have already put this woman asleep, right? No wonder you didn't start a war with her, but agreed to accept the surrender!"

Ignoring Li Ye's angrily gaze, Li Yan sighed: "With the beauty in my arms, I forgot the suffering my brother has suffered. I originally expected you to avenge me, but now it seems that there is no hope!"

Li Ye resisted the urge to rush over and pinch the guy's neck and said angrily: "Sleep! I'm a gentleman. I'm a gentleman. I'm a surrender of Li Maozhen for the sake of national power. I'm not as dirty as you said!"

Li Yan sneered: "Stop pretending, be happy, right?"

After saying that, he came over and asked enthusiastically: "Tell me quickly, how does that guy Li Maozhen taste like? No matter what, she is also King Qi. If you can sleep with a king, you won't lose money. Haha, I have approved this marriage!"

Li Ye's face was as dark as a piece of charcoal.

Since then, Li Yan never mentioned the crime of punishing Li Maozhen.

......

It was the second day that I left the village in the valley.

The five people who had a good rest for a night and had enough food and drink were more energetic than the other.

For the last time, Wei Xiaozhuang waved his hand to say goodbye to the villagers who saw him off. Wei Xiaozhuang quickly followed Su Emei and others, and quickly pulled out long rows of footprints in the snow.

He glanced at the mud-like mud tied up by Li Wenwen with a big knife. Shang Xire, who was carrying it behind him, looked at him. Wei Xiaozhuang asked with a chuckle: "This kid has few breaths, can he still survive to Minzhou City?"

After being questioned last night, they already knew that Shangxire was the eldest son of the city lord of Minzhou, and Dabu Zhuoga, the city lord of Minzhou, was a famous noble general among the Tubo people in Hexi. It is said that his cultivation is extraordinary and there are many masters around him.

A few days ago, the Tubo people gathered 300,000 troops to invade Guanlong, and Dabuzhuoga was the deputy commander of the army.

Since being found by Song Jiao in Chenyun Mountain, Chu Nanhuai and Su Emei received an order and brought Wei Xiaozhuang, Liu Xiaohei and Li Wenwen to Hexi. With the help of the local Qingyi Yamen, they hunted Tubo noble monks and used the fire in the backyard to delay the Tubo army's invasion from the east.

For several months, Chu Nanhuai and others have also figured out the chaotic situation in Hexi while killing.

During the Anshi Rebellion, Tubo occupied Hexi.

Decades ago, in the civil strife in Tubo, Zhang Yichao expelled the Tubo people in Hexi, and took the opportunity to recover the eleven prefectures in Hexi. After Zhang Yichao's death, the Guiyi army quickly declined due to internal power struggles. Tubo people from all over Hexi took the opportunity to rise up and occupied more than ten prefectures and counties that reached the west to Suzhou and the east to Qinzhou.

This includes Liangzhou.

Liangzhou is the central ruling area of ​​Hexi Tubo, and the Tubo people occupying this place are called Wenmo.

In addition to Wendu in the north, the Tubo people in the south were called Liugu tribes.

Whether it is Wenmo or Liugu, all ethnic groups live in the territory: Tubo people, Qiang people, Han people, Tuyuhun and even Uighur people.
