One month after Mobei soldiers and horses entered the Central Plains, the people of Hebei, who could not bear the turmoil, moved south in an organized manner under the command of the Jinyiwei spies.
At the same time, the Hebei Rebel Army began to attack the Mobei Army's garrison.
After tens of thousands of refugees arrived at the Yellow River ferry, they could see countless huge ships used to carry naval forces to cross the refugees.
Various military flags with the word "Tang" in them can be seen everywhere along the Yellow River, and there are Tang military camps at every ferry, with cavalry galloping back and forth, making it very busy.
All Tang people who crossed the river could receive corresponding food on the other side. After a little tidying up, they would be led by official personnel to settle down in the south.
Li Keyong was so disgusted that he had to pick trouble at the critical moment of spring plowing. Not only did the spring plowing be delayed, but countless families were also broken up.
Fortunately, Li Jing, the largest landowner in the world, has enough land to distribute to the people.
Since the Huangchao Rebellion, countless family members have been killed, and the entire gentry society has been smashed to pieces. Tens of millions of acres of land that were originally annexed by aristocratic families were divided up by various warlords. After Li Jing gained power, these lands were again It all belongs to him.
One of the important reasons why people all over the world support and love Li Jing so much is that Li Jing redistributed land to them.
As for the establishment of the new dynasty, if there are still people who want to fish in troubled waters and create another wealthy family, they will have to try Li Jing's sword.
As a young emperor who has stepped on the heads of thousands of people along the way, he has the courage and time to suppress these corrupt officials.
And as a person who has seen the prosperous times of future generations, Li Jing can only try his best to create a good environment for the people under his rule.
At least while he was emperor.
Because of this, since the beginning of March, many officials in the state capitals have been killed by Li Jing, and their heads are full of blood.
When the Liang Kingdom was conquered in the east and the Jin Kingdom was conquered in the north, many city officials looked forward to surrender. At that time, for the sake of stability, these people did not take off their official hats.
When these people were first calmed down, they were still well-behaved and did not dare to stretch their claws too long. Later, when they thought they had figured out Li Jing's temper, they began to become more and more unrestrained.
In their opinion, although the young emperor Li Jing was excellent in martial arts, he was very immature in civil affairs. They were the most skilled in deceiving superiors and concealing things from subordinates anyway.
Little did they know that the relevant evidence that could kill them had already been delivered to Li Jing by Jin Yiwei. Even the source of every amount of money embezzled by these people is clearly marked.
Li Jing originally planned to wait until these people were fattened before killing them, but now, the army needs money, settling the refugees needs money, and rectifying the officialdom also needs money.
The Ministry of Household Finance is almost unable to hold on, so it can only kill pigs in advance to celebrate the New Year.
With an order, the imperial guards from various states quickly arrested the relevant officials, and then interrogated and ransacked their homes. The rolling copper coins began to flow to Luoyang and quickly played their due role.
In addition, the Nanya Jinyi Guards, which was formed by the original "bad people", also quickly started to operate. The troops that should be sent out also appeared on the battlefield. Whenever the scouts from Jin State and Mobei encountered them, they were often just complete. The end of the army was annihilated.
At the same time, hidden stakes in various places were quickly activated, and a steady stream of various information poured into Luoyang.
Only in the third year after its creation did this tiger, which belonged exclusively to the emperor, finally show its proper fangs.
…………
Luoyang, Gongcheng.
The sun sets over the west mountain, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflects on the palace walls, slowly hiding the red color towards the ground.
Due to the burning of the Chang'an palace, Li Jing directly used the Manna Hall of Chang'an Taiji Palace as the name of his imperial study after establishing his capital in Luoyang.
The Manna Hall is divided into three parts: the main hall, the side hall and the dormitory. When Li Jing usually meets with important ministers, he is in the side hall. Then the books and various maps he often consulted are also stored here.
At this time, a tall and graceful figure was walking quietly along the corridor under the eaves carrying a box of food. The three or two maids following behind him were the girls of Fanyintian and Miaochengtian.
Until outside the side hall, the maids and eunuchs standing outside did not dare to stop him.
Pushing the palace door open, the dim sunset slanted in and dragged all the way under the palace pillars, making the people behind the screen in the palace hoarse with dissatisfaction.
"Didn't I say that dinner will be postponed until later... Come, call Zhong Xiaokui and Zhong Qianshi. I have something important to ask her."
The woman in palace clothes carrying the food stopped slightly, then nodded to the eunuchs outside, and then one of them hurriedly ran out.
Then, she continued inward.
Turning around the screen, I saw Li Jing in an indigo robe, sitting behind a royal eucalyptus. Above the eucalyptus was a tall pile of memorials and various documents.
On a wooden shelf behind him, there are several various maps hanging, mostly of the Hebei area and important towns along the Yellow River, with countless traces outlined on them.
Li Jing just sat in the middle with her head buried in her head, as if she had settled down.
At this time, he raised his head with an angry expression, and immediately a frightening power filled the entire hall, as if there was a chill in the air, and he was stabbed by that glance.
"I... Shuiyun!?"
He was stunned for a moment when he saw the empress wearing a crimson palace dress and holding a box of pastries and tea in her hand. It was placed on a small eucalyptus and was still radiating heat.
She rolled her eyes at Li Jing and said dissatisfiedly: "We have to do something, so we have to eat, right?"
Li Jing's face instantly showed joy. She flicked the pen in her hand, wiped her hands casually on her body, and moved closer to the empress.
"It's okay if you don't say it. Now that you mention it, I seem to be a little hungry..."
The empress didn't care whether Li Jing washed her hands or not, but looked at Li Jing with a smile in her eyes as she ate each pastry with gusto.
"You also said that the people below have told me a long time ago that you just had breakfast today and haven't eaten since. It's okay for you to be a warrior. Don't make the ministers you summoned suffer."
Li Jing bit her pastry and was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "They didn't have lunch either?"
The empress was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Where can we eat! You called people here so early in the morning, and the conversation was already late, and you didn't leave anyone to eat, but you made the people in the imperial kitchen anxious to death."
He coughed slightly to cover up his embarrassment. He was too busy these days, and Li Jing didn't care about it. He was a busy warrior and didn't feel hungry at all. It did make things difficult for the summoned ministers. He didn't dare to say that he was hungry. Maybe it was What’s the reason for so many murders recently?
"What's the matter? I'll just treat them to a banquet some other day... Who made this pastry? It tastes pretty good and suits my taste."
Speaking of embarrassment, Li Jing knew that she was wrong, so she could only change the topic in a hurry.
"Of course it's Wo! During this time, Wo has been diligently practicing his cooking skills and working hard. I can't let Xiao Guo Guo say that my cooking is not delicious!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a big girl in purple came in with a proud look on her face. She almost raised her nostrils to the sky when she looked at Li Jing.
Li Jing smiled, and his mood, which had been a little irritable for the past two days, suddenly relaxed.
The pastries are indeed quite delicious.
