Quickly wear "I am the empress"

After being disliked for a while, Li Xian dragged his exhausted body back to the East Palace.

At this time, he was in a very complicated mood.

He, the prince, is too frustrated to be a prince...

At this time, he actually still envied the deposed prince Li Xian.

Since he became the crown prince, his mother wanted him to be docile and obedient, but his father thought he was weak and uninformed. The court wanted him to suppress his mother and prevent her from intervening in government affairs. The clan wanted him to monopolize power... ..

He, the prince, was caught in the middle by people from all sides and couldn't even breathe...

—

In November of the first year of Yongchun, Cheng Huaimo led people to bloodbath the Guo family in Huayin, and then fled in a hurry without a trace.

When Zhiyu arrived with people from the government, the Guo family had already been bloodbathed. Zhiyu had no choice but to arrange a grand burial for the Guo family, and then open the Guo family granary to provide relief to the local people.

In December of the first year of Yongchun, the Yang family of Hongnong was bloodbathed by Cheng Huaimo's men. The reason was that the Yang family bullied the local people and forcibly expropriated their land, leaving the local people with no land to farm and had no choice but to turn into bandits.

When Zhiyu brought people over again, what he saw was the Yang Mansion that had been destroyed.

After the local officials went in for an inspection, Chao Zhiyu, who looked solemn, shook his head, "Princess, all the treasures in the Yang Mansion have been robbed by bandits."

Zhiyu looked at the desolate Yang Mansion and ordered the female officer following him: "Go and count what is left in the Yang Mansion. Those that were not taken away by the bandits should be exchanged for materials to help the local people. This can be considered as The Yang family is blessed.”

"Yes, princess."

Using the same method, Cheng Huaimo and Zhiyu worked together to eliminate many aristocratic families who had eliminated corrupt officials and exploited the people.

The peasant uprising led by Cheng Huaimo was so powerful that the ministers in the DPRK were naturally panicked.

Most of the ministers in the court came from aristocratic families. Nowadays, many families are in danger. They are also afraid that their own family will be exterminated next, so they all write letters asking the court to send troops to suppress the uprising.

Seeing the books piled up as high as a hill in the study, Prince Li Xian shook his head with a headache.

Faced with the courtiers' proposal to vigorously suppress Cheng Huaimo, his father's attitude was ambiguous, and his mother made it clear that she did not want to deal with this matter, so all the tips to urge the war were sent to him.

Li Xian smiled bitterly, Cheng Huaimo was acting under orders, how could he dare to suppress him.

His father admired Yue'er's dangerous tactics. If he took the lead in suppressing Cheng Huaimo at this time, his father would probably have his legs broken.

But in the face of pressure from the court, Li Xian couldn't always pretend that he couldn't see it. After all, he was the prince. If he was so indifferent to national affairs, the people under him would probably go to his imperial brother. ............

Therefore, after much thought, Li Xian brought up the matter of sending troops to suppress Cheng Huaimo when Li Zhi rarely came out to go to court.

Above the Jinluan Hall, Li Zhi was leaning on a chair with a pale face, his eyes dim and unclear.

After hearing Li Xian's proposal to suppress Cheng Huaimo, he waved his hand weakly and said with a wry smile: "There have been constant natural and man-made disasters in recent years. Now that the national treasury is empty, I am afraid that I will not be able to send anyone to suppress the bandits."

Hearing what Li Zhi said, all the courtiers panicked instantly, "Your Majesty, Cheng Huaimo was so bold that he took people away, burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil."

"If we don't send troops to encircle and suppress him, how can the people of the Tang Dynasty live in peace?"

Li Zhi shook his head weakly, "I also want to send someone to kill Cheng Huaimo, but now, I am really weak but not strong enough..."

"The empty treasury cannot be solved, so I, the Tang Dynasty, sent out troops."

After saying that, Li Zhi suddenly coughed, which frightened everyone. You rushed Li Zhi to the back hall and called the imperial doctor.

At the end of the first year of Yongchun, Zhiyu wrote to Li Zhi asking him to recall Xue Shen and send Su Qingjie, who was familiar with the terrain of Tubo, to the border again.

After receiving Zhiyu's letter, Li Zhi thought about it for a moment and knew Zhiyu's intention.

Pingyang County Duke Xue Rengui's body is getting weaker and weaker, and he is afraid that he will not have much time to live.

Recalling Xue Shengan so that he could see his father was considered a great favor from the emperor...

In March of the second year of Yongchun, the disasters in various places were under control, and Zhiyu's prestige among the people is now much higher than that of Li Zhi.

Maybe when the current emperor is mentioned, everyone's attitude is respectful and distant, but when Princess Taiping is mentioned, everyone's eyes instantly become awed.

To them, Princess Taiping was a Bodhisattva who rescued those in distress. Originally, the court ignored them, and they thought they would not survive.

Just when they gave up hope of living, Princess Taiping appeared. The princess not only gave them porridge and saved them from death, but also asked people to distribute land to them and teach them how to grow food to increase production... ...........

In order to thank Zhiyu, shrines were quietly built for her in various places, praying for her to have a safe and smooth life.

Just after the disaster ended, Zhiyu received an urgent edict from Chang'an, asking her to return to Chang'an quickly.

Before Zhiyu returned to Chang'an, she secretly met with Cheng Huaimo.

At this time, Cheng Huaimo looked full of gangsterism: "Princess, you have returned to Chang'an. How should I distribute the food and jewelry of these aristocratic families?"

Zhiyu shrugged, "You just have to do your part. The imperial court will send people to do the rest."

Cheng Huaimo scratched his head: "Princess, I have prepared some gifts for my family. Please bring them to them."

Zhiyu nodded, "No problem."

"Just find a time to send the things over."

"Except for aristocratic families, if there are corrupt officials, you can also hang them yourself."

"However, we must find out clearly and not wrongly accuse a good person."

Cheng Huaimo nodded, "Princess, I will carefully screen you."

Zhiyu patted Cheng Huaimo on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The road is long and long, please work harder. Try to accept the imperial court's recruitment as soon as possible."

Cheng Huaimo sighed helplessly and said with a bitter look on his face: "Princess, do you think that if I accept the court's recruitment, will the ministers of the DPRK and China unite to deal with me?"

Zhiyu shook his head, "As long as I am here, no one can touch you."

"When you accept the imperial court's offer, I will take you to the frontier to make achievements."

"With military success at your side, why do you need to be afraid of people in the court..."

Hearing this, Cheng Huaimo nodded subconsciously, "Okay, follow the princess's arrangements."

Zhiyu said with a smile: "I have left Xu Qinglian here. She is very good at taking care of common things. She is a rare talent."

"If you are undecided about something, you can discuss it with her."

Hearing what Zhiyu said, Cheng Huaimo was a little surprised, "Princess, Xu Qinglian has been by your side for so many years and has learned all about your conduct. Now you leave her to me. Are you willing to leave her to me?"

Zhiyu shook his head and said with a helpless smile: "There is nothing to be reluctant to part with. She lacks training. Let her stay with you so that she can increase her knowledge and sharpen her temperament."

In May of the second year of Yongchun, Zhiyu returned to Chang'an.

Zhiyu made a great contribution to the disaster relief. Li Zhi was so happy that he personally asked Prince Li Xian to pick up Zhiyu at the city gate.
