Li Ye has not left Chang'an City for a long time. This time he went east to Pinglu, mainly to accompany the eldest son to return to Penglai Master Sect, and to see how vast the sea is and how vast the waves are, and to relax.

In recent years, in order to fully improve the real power of the Tang Dynasty's cultivation, Li Ye has been sleeping all night long. Now everything has been on the right track, and Li Ye doesn't want to stay in Chang'an City all day long. As a monk, he should travel more everywhere.

If you are bored in a place for a long time, it is not conducive to improving your realm.

Although Li Ye's cultivation has reached the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, and according to the Feihong Holy Buddha, there is no way to rise, Li Ye does not think that the road will end. The distance that no one else has ever been to may not exist. Taking a step back, even if the cultivation level cannot be improved, there is always room for a better state of mind.

The Penglai Dao Sect did not cause too much trouble for Li Ye because they were suppressed by Li Ye early. In addition, with the life of the eldest son, although the past is gone, the mountain gate has not been damaged, which is a great blessing in misfortune.

This time, the eldest son returned to visit the commander and returned home in glory.

Liu Beixing, the current governor of Pinglu, was an old man from Prince An's mansion. He took all the civil and military officials out of Qingzhou City 30 miles away to greet him. He arranged the scene in a huge way, and there were thousands of entourages. Except for all the civil and military officers, the guardians, the well-known gentry and monks in Qingzhou, they were also here.

The spring sunshine is gentle, and Liu Beixing's cultivation is not low, but he is sweating at this time, making him seem restless in the focal distance.

He kept wiping the sweat on his forehead, staring at the entrance ahead without blinking, like a toad that stretched its neck.

"Uncle, the Jiedushi seems to be very nervous. I see his legs trembling. Logically speaking, he is his old subordinate, so why is he scared now?" A young man from the Cui family with a handsome face in the crowd asked Cui Kejun curiously.

Cui Kejie snorted from his nostrils. He was the elder of the Cui family, so he naturally knew many things that young people didn't know. He said contemptuously: "In recent years, the court has been working hard to reduce the vassal states. More than 50 vassal states in the world, and now they still hold certain military power, so there are less than one hand.

"The most difficult thing in the world is the three towns in Hebei, but they were also subdued by His Majesty early. During the war with the Khitan, the three towns in Hebei were close to the battlefield and made a lot of efforts, and were recognized by His Majesty. Therefore, the influential generals were rewarded and promoted after the war. After leaving the vassal states, the three towns naturally collapsed after these people left.

"Even the Lulong Army in Youzhou has been banned now. After all, the grassland has been peaceful and the garrison has penetrated into the grassland prefectures and counties. Naturally, there is no longer a large military governor on the border.

"Now, the title of Jiedushi has become a ruined street. There are no two hundred or one hundred. They are all empty titles given to the meritorious generals in the army by the court, which show honor and honor. If you receive a salary, you will not serve."

The young Cui family's junior named Cui Qinglin, he said strangely: "But our Pinglu is the place where His Majesty once stayed, and it should be different from other vassal states, right?"

Cui Ke Rang glanced at him, "Liu Beixing went astray because he was thinking the same as you.

"In the past two years, he relied on his old mansion to control all parties for the court and stabilize Shandong, and took over the power. But he didn't know that the current dynasty did not need a vassal state to control the place? This time, His Majesty suddenly returned to Pinglu, and his intentions were unpredictable. Do you think Liu Beixing could not be trembling?"

Cui Qinglin suddenly realized, "So that's it. It seems that Liu Beixing is suffering."

Cui Kejie said lightly: "He is asking for trouble. We are different. After all, he is intimate with His Majesty. This time, when you come to Pinglu, you may come to the Cui family to meet the outstanding children of the clan. If you can seize the opportunity and act like His Majesty recognizes you, you will not have any worries about your future in the future. Do you understand?"

Cui Qinglin quickly bowed to the teachings.

Of course he knew how much benefit he would be to his life by being appreciated by the emperor.

Although the Cui family was related to the emperor, scholars knew that the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty was apt to be based on his talent because of his lofty ambitions. Although the Cui family was not allowed to be taken care of, the specific children of the clan in the clan, if they wanted to become officials, they had to have real talents and knowledge.

As a handsome man in the clan, Cui Qinglin is proud of his outstanding talent and knowledge, which is beyond the reach of ordinary talented men, so he made up his mind that whenever he sees the emperor, as long as the other party asks, he will seize the opportunity to show what he has learned in a fair manner.

He is very confident in himself. He often criticizes current affairs with his friends and talks about the situation in the government and the country, and he is not short of beauty.

When Li Ye saw the vast scene outside Qingzhou City in the clouds, he laughed silently and said to the Grand Secretary beside him: "Liu Beixing seems to be worried and needs so many people to give him courage? It's a pity that no matter how respect he acted, I didn't plan to leave him face."

As he said that, Li Ye flew down and slowly fell.

Liu Beixing only felt that there was a mountain above his head, so he knew that Li Ye had arrived. Not to mention that he was guilty, but just this pressure of cultivation made him kneel down to the ground.

However, he was agile, and he was provoked to the ground with all his might and shouted tremblingly: "I am the governor of Pinglu, Liu Beixing, welcome your Majesty!"

Except for Liu Beixing, they did not feel any strong oppression. After all, Li Ye had no objection to them. However, when they saw Li Ye's figure coming, they were still shocked by the emperor's aura on the other party. As their heartbeat accelerated, they quickly lowered their heads and knelt down with Liu Beixing to greet him.

Li Ye asked everyone to calm down and Liu Beixing said lightly: "Liu Beixing, I am very dissatisfied with what you have done in Pinglu for the past two years. Now you take off your official robe and go back and wait for the disposal."

After saying that, he didn't give Liu Beixing a chance to defend himself and walked over to him.

Liu Beixing didn't expect Li Ye to be so straightforward. He didn't even have the chance to show loyalty or repent. Except for the first sentence of meeting, he was a luxury to say anything.

As soon as the emperor's order was issued, there was no room for change at will. Liu Beixing felt as if he had taken the wrong step before, and he would have been completely ruined in his life.

After Li Ye dealt with Liu Beixing, it seemed as if this person no longer existed in the world. He completely forgot him. He smiled and had a casual conversation with other officials and the gentry. He came to Cui Ke Rang and bowed to him: "How is the third uncle in good health?"

Cui Kejie quickly returned the gift: "I dare not worry about Your Majesty, I am still in good health..."

The two talked a few times. Seeing Li Ye smiling and a friendly attitude, Cui Ke Rang was not in a bad mood because he had just dealt with a military governor, so he boldly recommended Cui Qinglin, who was beside him, to Li Ye, saying that he was the best young man in the family in the past two years.

Li Ye looked at Cui Qinglin with a smile, wanting to see what he said and how to show himself, which can be regarded as giving him a chance.

However, the family's son in Cui Ke's mouth, for some reason, had blushed and trembling. After holding it in for a long time, he couldn't put a complete sentence. He was extremely cramped. In the end, he only said "Long live Your Majesty", which made Li Ye not know what to say.

Cui Kejie couldn't help but look embarrassed. Fortunately, Li Ye didn't care and continued to chat with others, and then "set up" Qingzhou City.

Seeing Li Ye moving away from his sight, Cui Qinglin breathed a long sigh and finally came to his senses.

Before facing Li Ye, he wanted to talk freely, but when Li Ye stood in front of him, he was so scared that he couldn't say anything. After Li Ye walked past them, his mind was still in chaos.

Now he knows what the power of an emperor is.

Seeing that Cui Ke Rang looked at him, Cui Qinglin had no choice but to smile bitterly and apologized: "Qinglin is not so good, I disappoint my uncle..."

However, Trekjen waved his hand and had no intention of blaming the other party. He sighed and said with emotion: "Actually, it's no wonder you. Your Majesty has just dealt with the governor and is majestic. This is the first time you see Your Majesty, and your mind is unstable.

"To be honest, although my Majesty is still able to speak, I am also slow to think and can only barely deal with it..."

The uncle and nephew looked at each other, which was quite a bit like a pity.

After a while, Cui Ke Rang said: "Ten years ago, there were fifty-three vassal states in the Tang Dynasty, and millions of vassal states. In addition to Hebei and border military towns, Longyou and Central Plains vassal states should have become barriers to Guanzhong, but in the end, like the three towns in Hebei, it became a threat to the court.

"Although the Chang'an Shence Army had hundreds of thousands, its combat power was too poor and it was difficult to control various towns, so the imperial court was gradually losing its majesty. Especially during the Huang Chao Rebellion, the emperor ran west and was in trouble in Shu, which was so majesty that it was wiped out. At that time, even a commander of the Fengxiang Army dared to hijack the emperor's carriage.

"At present, the vassal states with strong soldiers and generals are the best tomorrow. Except for a very small number of places such as Hexi, there are no vassal state troops everywhere. The vagrants and soldiers have now picked up hoes. Although there are troops in prefectures and counties, they are rare in number and can only suppress bandits, stabilize local order, and have no power to cause chaos.

"There are as many as one million imperial guards in Chang'an, and they are all carefully selected elite soldiers in a hundred battles! In addition, the number of monks has increased greatly, even the weakest one is stronger than the former army of Hebei three towns. Some of them take turns to station on the grasslands and borders, and the elites among the elites are training day and night, as if they are preparing for a big battle..."

Speaking of this, Trekjen suddenly stopped talking.

He turned around and looked at Cui Qinglin who was intoxicated by hearing this, and asked, "Do you understand what I mean by saying these words?"

Although Cui Qinglin acted very unbearable in front of Li Ye, he was indeed a talented man with a beautiful heart in essence. He immediately responded: "Uncle said that when the court is incompetent and the dynasty is weak, even if the emperor wants to be awesome, no matter how much he wants to be awesome, he will only be deceived by others.

"When the court is strong and the dynasty is at its peak, even if your Majesty does not deliberately show his pressure, it will make people feel awe and dare not slackewer at all."

Cui Kejie nodded, "That's the reason. The power of the emperor is inseparable from the national destiny, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is integrated into one. Today you are at a loss in front of Your Majesty. After all, it is not that you are unbearable, but that the dynasty is prosperous and Your Majesty is as powerful as the sun.

"So you don't have to worry about this and lose confidence. You are the light of fireflies, you don't have to compete with the sun and the moon, as long as you can exert your own light."
