If Yan Keqiu was not there, could Xu Wen and Zhang Hao, the two powerful ministers in the Southern Wu, successfully launch a mutiny and attack Yang Wo, the son of Yang Xingmi, who was the suspicious and tyrannical person, start to invade his old subordinates?

If there is no Yan Keqiu, can Xu Wen have the last laugh in the confrontation with Zhang Hao?

Without Yan Kexue, is it possible that the Southern Wu regime could not be able to eliminate the forces of various parties and form a stable centralization after Yang Xingmi died, and it quickly declined due to the confrontation between various factions in the country?

Li Tianqu was kind to Yan Keqiu and Luo Zhixiang, but these questions arose in his heart. Without Yan Keqiu's strong help, Xu Wen might not be able to kill his rivals one by one. Although he was powerful and could still maintain his own power to the outside world, he would be able to work together. Then Jiangnan would also be likely to have a situation where the vassal states remained in the small court... Li Tianqu thought that if this was the case, for our forces, it would of course be happy to see it.

But that should be a matter of twelve or three years later. At the moment, Luo Zhixiang was arranged by Li Tianqu to work in the new office of the Ministry of Finance and Valley, which was not as good as tribute and tax. Although he is young and has little experience, Li Tianqu knew that he was good at wealth and profit, he also intended to ask him to hone his skills and cultivate his position as the second and third leaders of his own power to manage finances;

As for Yan Keqiu, he has the ability to be a capable minister in governing the world and fighting for the world. He is also an excellent military strategist and strategist. However, because of his younger age, Li Tianqu temporarily ordered him to be the in-house inspector, but in fact he has always kept him by his side and provided advice at any time. After these days, Li Tianqu had contacted Yan Keqiu during the day and Liu Jingu at night and was most frequently and eager to communicate with Liu Jingu at night...

Until Yang Xingmi joined forces with the thief leader Sun Ru to kill the thief, and the news came that the court had to be highly rewarded. Yang Xingmi made great contributions to the fight against the bandits and was named the Jiedushi of Ningguo Army, also known as the Jiedushi of Xuanshe, led the three prefectures of Xuanshe, and was also appointed as the Taifu of the Procuratorate.

However, compared with his original gain, Yang Xingmi did not inherit Gao Pian's territory and took over as the governor of the Huainan Army. Originally, he would have given the important position of Ningguo Army's commander Tian Feng, the most valued general under his command, to do it. However, now that the territory has shrunk, the commander of this vassal state must be the commander of Yang Xingmi himself... Including Luzhou, which is governed by the governor of the state, the territory he currently controls will certainly not be limited to a corner of the Ningguo Army. He is even more jealous and eager to expand territory in Jiangdong to make up for the regret of not being able to occupy the prefectures under the jurisdiction of the Huainan Army's vassal states;

Qian Liu was also awarded the title of the Suhang Observer and the Commander of Zhenhai Army in several states such as Run, Hang, Chang, Su, Hu, and Mu for his contributions. As a result, Qian Liu was even more angry when he saw Yang Xingmi. The news of the court's reward for merits and rewards was just here, but Suzhou had been attacked by Yang Xingmi, and under the rule of the Zhenhai Army's vassal state, Changzhou was still under the control of the other party... How could Qian Liu give up? Needless to say, both sides had to fight to the death;

As for Li Tianqu, his identity is not as good as Yang Xingmi and Qian Liu, who have just been recognized by the court to open a government and establish a government and control the military and political power of several states. He has long been granted the title of military governor of the vassal states, and has also annexed the overlords of several vassal states...

He also led the Huainan army's vassal states, and Zhang Guiba, the Yicheng army, and Ge Congzhou's Jiedushi, the identity of the governor of the Tianping army, was also recognized by the court. Li Tianqu was also appointed as the Prince of Langya, with a fief of 3,000 households, and was in charge of the Sikong official rank, and was in the same position as the Minister of the Central Secretariat. This was like Zhu Wen, the rank of the prince, and was only one step away from the throne.

Although the Sikong he received was a first-rank official position, he added the word "prosecutor" before, which is equivalent to the honor and title of agent. Just like Zhu Wen is the Grand Marshal of the Prosecutor, Li Keyong was also appointed as the Prosecutor's Sikong... Li Tianqu did not value this position very much, but he was more careful and could explain in his memorials to Chang'an that he had to ask for another authority...

In addition to the official positions he received, although Li Tianqu was not worshipped by emperors and received books from overseas countries, he could perform the jade books. Now, because the Chang'an edict was difficult to convey to overseas, he exercised the power of the court to receive envoys from Japan, Silla, Bohai and other countries.

Because Li Tianqu still remembers that in history, although Qian Liu, a Qian of Wu and Yue, paid tribute to the Central Plains dynasty and sent envoys to pay tribute, he asked to obtain jade books as a condition and received jade books and gold seals. After that, all countries also had the power to accept their canonization and respect Qian Liu as the leader of the king.

Although from a legal perspective, Li Tianqu still does not have the power to build a country on his own, as the princes and other princes, who are now living in Chang'an, have no ability to accept tributes and trade with the court agents of the various countries, this move is certainly beyond the rules, but since Qian Liu, who is in peace, can bargain with the empires that he regards as the legitimate Later Liang and Later Tang, who have established their relatively powerful regime, can finally achieve their goal.

The current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty exercised the power of negotiating with overseas countries just a decoration and was of no use at all. It would be better to use it to appease Li Tianqu, hoping that the overlord who now owns several vassal states would not have any rebellious intentions, at least he was still willing to be the chief of the court in name...

After all, Li Tianqu is no longer the state prefecture that the court granted the title to him, and he had to go to the post obediently. For the request that would not threaten the center of the court, Li Ye, now the emperor who has become a laughing stock of the vassals in the world, has no room for bargaining. Even the warlords in the northwest can bully their homes, so the court does not care about the countries outside Shanghai? Li Ye has to win over other powerful vassals with ambiguous attitude towards the Tang court, and satisfying the conditions that are optional for him is naturally reasonable.

In this way, it is almost equivalent to having direct diplomatic relations with overseas countries. I am also a lot faster than the Qianli, who should have come up with such a wonderful method of national policy...

Li Tianqu thought about it and felt confident. However, the imperial court rewarded Li Tianqu, Yang Xingmi, and Qian Liu, the three heroes, according to their achievements in destroying Sun Ru, which actually led to the other side of Jiangdong betraying the Tang court and even directly proclaiming himself emperor...

"The master Dong Chang, the governor of Yisheng Army, has revealed his true form. He has only taken several states to claim to be Emperor Pingluo of Yueguo, and he still calls himself a saint? Haha... He doesn't have the ability, but he insists on being a self-reliant, just for the false reputation of an emperor. It seems that he, a slander, will eventually perish himself..."

During the dentistry, Li Tianqu learned that something big happened in Jiangdong. Qian Liu's old superior Dong Chang was the emperor, which meant that he was openly opposed to the Tang court, and the neighboring vassal states also had the excuse to launch an army to attack him.

Qian Liu now started in western Zhejiang. Although he joined Dong Chang as an official in the army and was now appointed as the governor of Zhenhai Army, he had actually formed his own power. When he learned that his former benefactor was so confused and stupid, Qian Liu sent someone to persuade Dong Chang to say, "It is better to open the gate to become the governor than to be the emperor behind closed doors." As a result, Dong Chang was so good. He turned around and appointed Qian Liu as the commander of Zhejiang, both the country and the country. People who didn't know the truth might think that Qian Liu was really willing to follow him and make the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty...

It is reported that Dong Chang's ambition was also because Qian Liu had made contributions to the expedition of Sun Ru before. It is said that since his old subordinates were appointed as the governor of Zhenhai Army, his benefactor Shangguan should have benefited from it and won some rewards. He even directly submitted a memorial to the court, asking him to be named King Yue. Such a title was like a self-esteem of a country, and the Tang court would certainly not meet his request. Dong Chang was very dissatisfied and claimed that the court had betrayed him. Since you didn't give it, I would take it myself. Some subordinates incited and instigated and advised Dong Chang to directly proclaim himself emperor... As a result, this guy really did this.

Li Tianqu knew that Dong Chang was the emperor and became independent, but he was just laughed at his stupidity and arrogance. Qian Li's words of advice were very pertinent, and he was also full of benevolence and righteousness. The vassals in the world would do whatever they wanted. But whoever dared to usurp the throne and became emperor immediately would become the target of public criticism. Any military governor who was nominally dominated by the Tang court would have a verbal verbal attack.

Originally, after Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty, the Jiedushi of the various fields was called lonely and widowed. Before the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, who would have been the only one who directly proclaimed the king and the emperor, but who would not end up miserably? Just to spend those days with the emperor? Then Dong Chang really didn't know that this was self-destruction?

In the festival, some staff officers looked at Li Tianqu, and thought to themselves that the turmoil in Jiangnan has resurfaced, so should our army take advantage of the situation and make progress?
