Film and TV: Starting from the marriage with Zhao Linger

Why did the people revolt?

It's just a bite to eat. Before, the imperial court was incompetent and the aristocratic families exploited them.

After the rise of the Young Marshal's army, the surrounding people finally got a chance to breathe. Now as the imperial army came to suppress them, the people were once again plunged into despair, and the subsequent backlash can be imagined.

This is the brilliance of Shen Luoyan’s calculations—human hearts!

On the contrary, Zhu Wen was still complacent, thinking that he had suppressed Shen Luoyan and would defeat the enemy within a month.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest battle report!"

The main hall of Prince Yan's Palace.

Cao Shaoqing handed the latest intelligence to Li Shouxi. After reading it, Li Bei on the side hurriedly fiddled with the sand table according to the information in the intelligence.

Zhu Wen besieged the city, and defeating the enemy was just around the corner.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the young commander's army will not be able to escape this time!"

As the only two people outside the Prince of Yan's Mansion who could practice the secret of immortality, Li Bi was still very concerned about them.

"There's no escape? Who said that?

Shen Luoyan's methods are no less capable than Huang Chao's, and Zhu Wen is in trouble now.

According to the speed of the pigeon, Zhu Wen's backyard must have been on fire by now. What a pity! How many families are about to be torn apart!"

Li Shouxi saw through Shen Luoyan's plan at a glance, but he didn't say anything.

He needed the fall of the Tang Dynasty to completely destroy the foundation of his family.

As for the royal family?

The imperial family is the most ruthless. If he cannot reach the top, his position will definitely be the most threatening to the new emperor.

Therefore, between the destruction of his family and the demise of his country, Li Shouxi did not hesitate at all.

He had no third option.

Who made him not the eldest son? The higher his status and the stronger his power now, the greater the threat he will pose to the new emperor's position in the future.

A hundred dead pole heads, a higher level.

"Which femme fatale's military advisor is so highly regarded by the prince?"

"Of those who can leave such a name in the martial arts world, how many are good people? They are definitely not good people!"

After saying that, Li Shouxi looked at the territory of the Tang Dynasty and could not help but sigh. Apart from a few places under the control of their Prince Yan's Mansion, there were basically few peaceful places.

“A time of chaos is coming, and if man-made disasters are combined with natural disasters, there will inevitably be greater casualties.

Without natural disasters, man-made disasters would be difficult to arise.

The winter is about to end. Tell them to give up hunting down Tuoba Yuer."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Shaoqing hurried to pass on the order.

As for Li Bei, he stared at Li Shouxi in disbelief.

Yes, the disasters that Tuoba Yuer experienced at this time were all guided and compiled by Li Shouxi.

One is to cultivate the relationship between the two, and the other is to delay the end of winter!

If there were no severe winter, the end of the world would not come and the Tang Dynasty would not be in chaos.

Therefore, Li Shouxi reached a deal with Caoyuan, but he himself made several arrangements in it. At this time, the war around the Tang Dynasty was surging 470, and there was no need for natural disasters.

What's more, natural disasters will not disappear in a short time.

Even if there is a human face pendant, it will take at least several months for them to come and pick it up and then reach Langxu Mountain.

"Your Highness, can winter really fade away?"

"I am not sure either. I can only give you a 50% chance of success. This is the lowest!"

A minimum of 50% certainty?

That means the probability is more than half, and combined with Li Shouxi's unparalleled planning, it is basically 100% certain.

Even Li Bei found it hard to believe.

At the same time, he also heard another piece of news, that Li Shouxi was the one who set up this banner.

In the chaos, we can gain benefits.

As the chief secretary assisting Li Shouxi, he was not surprised at all.

Although Li Shouxi was very powerful at this time, he was not the legitimate first-in-line heir, nor even the second or third.

What is primogeniture?

First the legitimate son, then the eldest son.

Unless the legitimate son dies, the eldest son of a concubine has no right of inheritance.

Therefore, it was not surprising that Li Shouxi uprooted the Tang Dynasty. He also knew that Li Shouxi had to choose between the destruction of his family and the demise of his country.

What's more, he knew that Li Shouxi could definitely create a new Tang Dynasty that would be more prosperous than the Great Tang Dynasty.

Because why not.

Chapter 243: The Building is About to Collapse

"General, it's bad, the untouchables behind us are rebelling again!"

The word "again" made Zhu Wen furious.

Failure to appease the suppressed rebels and continuing the policy of exploitation is like an infected wound on the body, which is bound to relapse.

But it would be easier at other times, but at this time he had already penetrated deep into the hinterland and was being dragged down by the guerrilla warfare of the Young Marshal's army.

At this moment, a fire suddenly broke out behind him, and Zhu Wen naturally knew the situation he was in.

Not to mention defeating the cunning Shen Luoyan, it was even a luxury for him to escape unscathed.

Thinking of this, Zhu Wen couldn't help but think of Prince Yan's Palace!

But unfortunately, after the Prince of Yan's Mansion took control of the Lianghuai area, the imperial court no longer dared to use the Prince of Yan's Mansion to suppress the rebels.

That was giving land to Prince Yan's Mansion.

"Retreat first, and don't let yourself be attacked from the front or back."

"Yes, General!"

Three days later, the news of Zhu Wen's defeat spread throughout the country.

Of the 200,000 soldiers, only less than 30,000 managed to escape the encirclement and killing of the Young Marshal's army.

It’s the same strategy, although the process is different, but they all convey one message: the Tang Dynasty has lost the support of the people.

Although Qin Shubao, the Duke of Protecting the Country, and Yuchi Gong, the Duke of Defending the Country, could maintain the stalemate, it was just a stalemate.

They were facing some disaster victims holding hoes and had no intention of killing them.

Otherwise, he would have suffered the same fate as Zhu Wen.

This is not an unorganized or unsupported uprising.

The trouble was originally caused by the aristocratic families, and now there are other aristocratic families stabbing in the back, the result can be imagined.

However, Zhu Wen was also a treacherous person. He also learned from Li Keyong's methods and took out most of his property in exchange for a position stationed in Xiliang.

This is the Tang Dynasty!

Even if the Emperor of Tang wanted to change the situation, he was powerless.

With Zhu Wen's defeat, the rebels' morale was greatly boosted, and the towering tree of the Tang Dynasty was slowly falling.

This is Li Shouxi’s purpose.

Although he might become the target of public criticism later because of his status as a royal child.

But Li Shouxi, who had already stabilized the rear, was not afraid even of the millions of cavalrymen on the grassland back then, let alone this group of rabble today.

"Your Highness, Tuoba Yu'er has been brought here!"

Tuoba Yuer came to Prince Yan's Mansion again with complicated eyes.

Before, she even dared to say that the hatred for her father's murder was irreconcilable.

But at this time winter was approaching, and after traveling around the Central Plains, she realized that if she had really killed Li Shouxi that year, this paradise would have turned into the hell on earth that she had seen along the way.

Chen Jingchou looked around curiously, from entering Youzhou, Liaodong, Fengtian

Every place he passed gave him a different shock.

Compared to the purgatory scene outside where there is no crowing of roosters for thousands of miles and corpses frozen to death on the road, the land of Youzhou is relatively harmonious. At least there is no war and disaster victims everywhere.

Although there were disasters, they were all handled properly.

Those who do not work, eat bran and rice porridge;

Those who received work-for-relief food not only received thick porridge, but also had salted fish as a snack!

Liaodong is another scene. The roads are blocked by heavy snow. Under the silvery white, smoke rises from every household, and families gather for dinner and laugh.

As for Fengtian City?

There are orchestral music, bright lights and wine, which is in no way inferior to the Qinhuai River in the south of the Yangtze River. It is like traveling into another world.

Such a grand scene also made Chen Jingchou immediately understand Li Shouxi's reputation as a wise king.

Even before the arrival of the harsh winter, it was a peaceful and prosperous time where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

"Both of you, please!"

Just as Tuoba Yu'er and Chen Jingchou were sighing, a young attendant dressed in luxurious brocade and with feminine features slowly walked over.

Tuoba Yu'er was even more panicked, as if facing a powerful enemy.

Demon Sword Immortal!

Although Cao Shaoqing has seldom taken action, Cao Shaoqing was the Demon Sword Immortal five years ago. How strong is he now?

He should be getting closer and closer to the dual-realm grandmaster.

After all, Cao Shaoqing was less than 30 years old and had reached the Great Finger Profound Realm. Coupled with the resources and numerous masters in Prince Yan's Mansion, it was impossible for Cao Shaoqing's qualifications to not improve.

"Greetings, Senior Demon Sword Immortal!"

"Devil Sword Immortal?"

Chen Jingchou was still suspicious of Cao Shaoqing's identity at first, but when he heard Tuoba Yuer's words, his body trembled suddenly.

He seemed to yearn for the life of a young man dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse, traveling the world with a sword, and the Sword Immortal of the World, the Demon Sword Immortal, was one of the most famous top sword immortals.

I didn't expect that the Demon Sword Immortal was such a feminine young man, about the same age as them, and dressed like a servant.

Even though he was wearing brocade, Cao Shaoqing's attire was still that of a servant.

This is one of the few unique ones in Prince Yan's Mansion.

Such as the four swords of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum and the three daughters of Fu Jun'er.

"The prince is in the main hall, don't keep him waiting for too long!"

Cao Shaoqing did not have a good face for Tuoba Yuer, and turned around to lead the way.

This also made Chen Jingchou look at Tuoba Yuer with suspicion.

Is this the legendary cold, lonely, and murderous Demon Sword Immortal? No matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary eunuch.

Tuoba Yuer rolled her eyes and did not explain.

When the two people arrived at the hall, the first thing they saw was Li Shouxi, who was observing the sand table and simulating the battle situation.

Tuoba Yuer bowed and Chen Jingchou couldn't believe it.

The King of Yan, the ruler of Liaodong, who was said to be as virtuous as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, turned out to be a young man who looked younger than him. No, he should be a boy who had just turned 18.

"Tuoba Yu'er greets His Highness!"

"You arrived later than I expected. It seems that you have a lot of people on guard on the road, or you don't believe in the power of the human face pendant!"
