Chapter 103 The new emperor ascends the throne and changes the Yuan to Yonghe
Since Li Feng and his party in Beijing last time, the mother and son have communicated more with each other. The Empress Dowager often sends people to send snacks from Beijing to express their concern for Li Feng.
Li Feng thought this was the usual concern, but after opening the envelope and reading the contents inside, Li Feng's happy face immediately became cold.
"Eunuch Wei."
Wei Dongting came out of the shadow, and Li Feng silently handed him the letter.
After Wei Dongting finished reading it, his face was filled with shock: "Is there something wrong with Your Majesty's death?"
"You are more familiar with the affairs of the palace than me. What kind of person is this eunuch in charge?"
In just one sentence, Wei Dongting understood what Li Feng meant, and there were two possibilities for this matter.
First, there must be something strange about Your Majesty’s death. He was discovered by the eunuch general manager and then informed the empress dowager. The empress dowager told Li Feng again, hoping that Li Feng would come up with a solution.
Second, Your Majesty died of serious illness and nothing was wrong. However, Li Yuan wanted to kill Li Feng, so he bribed the eunuch general manager and asked him to send false messages to Li Feng through the hands of the empress dowager, giving Li Feng a reason to rebel.
In this way, not only Li Feng, but also the Empress Dowager and Li Tong will be instigated to the cold palace, and Li Feng's branch will completely lose power.
Is it a real reminder or a malicious deception?
Wei Dongting said: "The eunuch always follows His Majesty, loyal and will not desecrate His Majesty."
"I want a 100% answer."
Wei Dongting nodded, Li Feng sighed. There was something strange about His Majesty's death. Isn't this just saying that it was Li Yuan's fault?
The son killed his father, which has always been a tragedy on earth. I didn’t expect that Li Rui would be able to meet such a good person.
"What should you do with Your Highness?"
"My mother means to let me raise an army and destroy the animal that killed my father. But at this time, what can I do if I raise an army?"
Wei Dongting was also familiar with the situation in Youzhou, and the total amount was only 10,000. Moreover, Youzhou was located in a remote area, and the food and grass were not enough to support the consumption of the 10,000 army.
More importantly, Li Feng was named Wuming, and everyone in the world knew his character. During the national mourning period, if he had entered the capital to serve the king, even the local gentry in Youzhou would not believe it.
"Your Highness can keep your energy and not rush for a moment."
Li Feng looked towards the direction of the capital. He did not want to participate in these struggles for power and profit, but now it seems that he can't do it if he doesn't participate.
"Eunuch Wei, for the sake of security, I hope you can go back to Beijing to see it and ask the eunuchs personally. If this is true, please endure it and my mother for a while and not reveal any flaws.
If you find something wrong, find a way to pick up my mother and Li Tong so that Li Yuan won’t attack them.”
Wei Dongting nodded and disappeared. Li Feng picked up the booklet and checked the financial situation of Youzhou, and was planning whether there was hope for a state to fight against the entire Daqian.
The answer to this question is obvious and there is no hope at all.
Daqian divides the world by way of Taoism. Youzhou is just one of the cities in Hebei Road, and it has several small counties under it. Not to mention fighting the entire Daqian, as long as the troops from Anxi Jun Town come over, Li Feng will be doomed.
Resurrection is a battle that will surely be defeated.
But if he didn't raise an army, Li Feng felt uncomfortable because Li Rui was really kind to him, and the only masters around him were sent to protect him, otherwise Li Yuan would not have killed him at all.
When Li Feng was having a headache about how to deal with Li Yuan, Li Yuan was also having a headache about how to deal with Li Feng.
The violence Li Feng showed and his strong government and military capabilities made Li Yuan extremely anxious. Coupled with the strong psychological pressure brought by the father-killing, he failed to sleep well for several days in a row.
During the day, he was the emperor above ten thousand people, but at night, Li Yuan could see his father who was killed by him as soon as he closed his eyes.
This is what Li Yuan gave Li Rui a lot of posthumous titles and no beautiful posthumous titles could be eliminated. Before Li Rui died, his eyes were staring at him, making him unable to calm down for a long time.
All the process was finally over. Li Yuan successfully ascended the throne and changed his reign to Yonghe. This year also changed to the first year of Yonghe, and the world was amnesty.
The first decree issued after Li Yuan's registration was that all city vassal guards must strictly follow the ancestral system and must not exceed the prescribed number.
This decree came strangely, because the new emperor ascended the throne, either with gentleness or strictness. No matter what, he would stabilize his position and promote his backbone.
It is particularly rare to issue a government order that has nothing to do with one's own status.
But Zhao Yan and others understood that this was a decree against King You, because the defenders of the Chengfan did not have much significance to the Chengfan, but rather a financial drag.
There must be one thousand people in name, but in fact, basically all the urban vassals are not enough, and there is even none of them in some urban vassals.
Only Li Feng's Youzhou has not only sufficient number of defenders, but also a population of 5,000. This news was provided to Li Yuan by Zhao Kang, and Li Yuan targeted Li Feng's 5,000 defenders.
After the government orders reached Youzhou, Li Feng was so angry that he threw his cup.
"This is clearly aimed at me."
Zhang Shoulin was worried: "Prince, what should we do if we remove five thousand people at once?"
Liu Ji said: "Prince, now that the new emperor ascended the throne, the court has decided that Emperor Yonghe needs to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. If we do not abide by his decrees at this time, we may be listed as a typical example. The subordinates suggest that the remaining 4,000 people be disbanded and let them farm."
Li Feng walked around the hall with his hands behind his back: "These people cannot be dismissed, but I don't want Li Yuan to find me wrong. What can you do?"
Zhang Shoulin and Xiang Ran lowered their heads, and Liu Ji showed pain on his face, but could not come up with a good idea.
Li Fengxin said that he needed to expand his team, and only these people really didn't work.
Xie Zhixin doesn’t know if it’s OK?
"How about Xie Zhixin?"
"When he returned to the prince, he arrived in Yangle County, and did a good job according to your plan. The arable land in Yangle County has expanded a lot."
"Send this problem to Xie Zhixin. If he has a good solution, he will be promoted to the yamen."
After Liu Jiying came, he continued: "Prince, the court will definitely have one after another, and we need to find a way to deal with it."
"Zhao Kang has been in Youzhou for so long and must be familiar with the situation in Youzhou. My five thousand defenders must be his idea. Xiang Ran, go and convene a meeting of the gentry and tell them, follow me, eat meat and drink soup."
"But if I get ventilated with Zhao Kang and the others, if I get taken down by then, they won't even drink the soup."
Xiang Ran took the order and Li Feng looked at the remaining Zhang Shoulin.
Zhang Shoulin was also waiting for Li Feng's mission, but Li Feng did not send him a mission, but waved his hand and asked him to go back and continue training the five hundred special forces.
"Prince, what can I do?"
"Training those five hundred people well is your biggest task now."
