Chapter 158 The Tang Dynasty is yours

"Xi'er, I really didn't expect that our army would capture Luoyang so quickly. I... I'm so happy," Li Yu looked at Yang Xi with a smile. "I really didn't expect that Xi'er, you are so young and perform so well. I really don't know how happy you are for your father. With someone like you, you still have to worry about what will happen if you are not going to do it for your father? If you are finally in charge of the world, the people of the world will definitely be very happy."

Li Yan, who has fully appreciated Yang Xi's ability, no longer hides his purpose and becomes more intimate with Yang Xi. He hopes that his active show of kindness will eventually bring Yang Xi's full support!

However, Yang Xi was not moved. After hearing such bewitching words from Li Yu, he replied in a faint tone: "Your Highness, the war has not yet been completely calmed down, and the rebel forces have not been completely eliminated. The most important thing now is to control the situation, appease the people, and eliminate the last forces of the rebels. Please do not consider the rest for the time being, there are ears in the walls, and don't say a lot of things casually."

Yang Xi was not angry when he said these words. He felt that Li Yu was too direct and that he had a complete exchange of interests with him. Although he was already a little moved, he still did not dare to take these things seriously.

This matter is too serious and the difficulty is almost the same as climbing the sky. You can't think too much now, and don't discuss anything more. Luoyang has just been conquered, and the most important thing is to restore order in Luoyang and not cause trouble, otherwise the credit will be greatly reduced.

Li Yan was a little disappointed when he heard Yang Xi say this, but after thinking about it, he immediately felt relieved and continued to say lovingly: "Xi'er, what do you think should be done next for your father? What things must be done now? You have no experience in this area, but you can't refuse, so you can only bite the bullet and take charge of the matter. I hope you can give more ideas for your father."

Yang Xi looked at Li Yu, and saw the other party's sincerity, and smiled, and replied: "Your Highness, your contribution is great enough. After the war is over, you can return to the court triumphantly. The court will definitely let others deal with the rest of the matter. We just need to wait for Your Majesty's edict! The most important thing now is to prevent chaos in Luoyang City and repair the fortifications in the city that were destroyed by the war. There are facilities in the imperial city, and continue to send people to suppress the rebellion and completely quell the remnants of the rebels. This is what Your Highness has arranged just now. Your Highness has done a good job, and the last general does not have much experience in this area, so he cannot provide more suggestions."

After hearing Yang Xi really gave him advice and affirming his arrangement just now, Li Yan was even more happy and couldn't help but reach out and pat Yang Xi on the shoulder. He said again: "Xi'er, you can help you, and you are very happy to be a father. After returning to the court this time, I will also make a strong request in front of my father. If you want your father to be promoted to your title, you have made such great achievements. Without you, the rebellion would not have been quelled so quickly. There should be a higher position, and it is also necessary to be named a king. I will forcefully ask my father to be appointed as a king. At least you must be a duke or something, otherwise it will make the soldiers feel disappointed."

"Your Highness is joking. The general of the United States is not yet in his prime, so he dare not seek so much. Please don't say these unrealistic things. Everything should be put first! Prince Heng certainly does not want to see His Highness make such great contributions. Maybe after His Highness returns to the capital, the prince will take the opportunity to do something. If His Highness returns to the capital, he still asks for these unrealistic things in front of His Highness, it may make His Majesty disgusted!" To be honest, Yang Xi was a little moved by Li Yu's closeness, but he also knew that the more Li Yu did, the stronger the purpose of utilitarianism would be. He should not be confused by the mirage-like phantoms. He should always keep his mind clear so as not to steal chickens and not lose rice.

He didn't want Li Yan to be so urgent. He would be afraid of this when he said this.

He didn't mind Li Yan was incapable. If he really wanted to be the emperor, he would hope that Li Yan would be incapable and had no means, so that his purpose would be easily achieved. Just like Li Dan, Ruizong, could not bear the pressure and felt that he was not the source of being the emperor. In the end, he handed the throne to his son Li Longji. But he didn't want to see Li Yan in a hurry to act and mess up the matter.

After hearing Yang Xi say this, Li Yu was shocked and woke up a little. After thinking about it, he nodded immediately: "Xi'er, you're right. The most important thing now is to let the father depose Li Heng's crown prince and let him take over his crown prince. Only when I become the crown prince can the things I just said can be realized. Don't worry, you will act in a low-key manner for your father. After returning to Luoyang, you will devote yourself to this matter. I just hope that you can help me, a biological father, as long as you finally become the emperor, the Tang Dynasty will be yours in the end."

Li Yan said, clapping hard on Yang Xi's shoulder, then smiled.

"Your Highness Yan, I will put this ear in and that ear out of it, but I didn't hear it at all!" Yang Xi said, and without waiting for Li Yu, who was stunned, he immediately bowed: "Your Highness has worked hard all the way, so let's have a good rest. I will go to the city. The battle has just stopped, and many things will be dealt with, and it will not delay your highness' rest. If you have any indecisive things, I will report to your Highness."

As he said that, without waiting for Li Yan to respond, he quickly walked out of the room, leaving only Li Yan there in shock.

Because of the curfew, the situation in Luoyang was quickly controlled.

The next morning, the order in Luoyang City was restored, and the three major cities opened one after another, but there were no merchants or pedestrians, and it was very deserted. But everyone knew that in the next day, Luoyang City would return to its pre-war appearance, and the South City, North City and West City would be lively again.

Before Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi led their troops to leave Fanyang and headed south to attack Luoyang, Yan Zhenqing, Li Siye, Helan Jinming, Cheng Qianli, Zhang Xun and other troops headed south first, but because they were blocked by rebels along the way and the lack of horses, their speed of traveling was much slower than that of Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's troops, who were all cavalry-organized, were over. The battle in Luoyang was over and they had not resisted Luoyang.

On the third day after Luoyang was captured, the order in Luoyang City was completely restored, and the bodies and other corpses were removed, and 15,000 Yan Zhenqing's troops arrived in Luoyang first. Hearing the report from the soldiers, saying that Yan Zhenqing led his army to Luoyang, Yang Xi was overjoyed and immediately threw down his work, greeting Pang Zhong, Wang Sili, Gao Shi and other generals beside him, and went to greet him together.

Yan Zhenqing has made great achievements in the fight against the rebellion, but this is not the main reason why Yang Xi respects him very much. It is worth letting him personally welcome him because he is a master who has occupied an important place in the history of Chinese calligraphy. In later generations, he learned Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, and his father also learned it, and he highly praised it.
