"There is also a news today. Yesterday afternoon, Li Yuan officially promulgated the military merits and land system, and made it clear that the land rewards would be obtained by making military merits. The specific details are still unknown, but Lu Ping's evaluation is completely copying us, that is to say, the military merits and land system implemented by Li Yuan is exactly the same as ours."

Zhang Xuan snorted coldly and said to the point: "They should have implemented it long ago. It's too late to implement it today. I don't believe that they can still regain Bashu? Reclaim Bingzhou? Reclaim Hexi? Without these three places, they are like a chicken with wings and feet cut off. At most, they can flap a few times and then let us slaughter it."

"Your Majesty, the Tang army wants to counterattack. Li Shimin has led a 50,000 army to Shangjun. It is likely to launch a battle against Yan'an County."

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "I won't give him this opportunity. The Chief Secretary might as well visit Feng Deyi and tell him that I am willing to sign a one-year armistice agreement with the Tang Dynasty. As sincerity, I can release my son-in-law Chai Shao. If Li Yuan is willing to negotiate, please ask him to stop all military operations immediately."

"Why does Your Majesty still give the Tang Dynasty a year of breathing?"

Zhang Xuan smiled and shook his head, "This is a double-edged sword. They have one year to train troops, and we have one year to hollow out the Tang Dynasty. They may make some progress in military affairs, but I want to completely defeat the Tang Dynasty in politics and let everyone in the world understand that the Tang Dynasty is already a dead tree."

"Your Majesty is so proud that I will go to Feng Deyi now. Before I go to Feng Deyi, I will have another thing to report to Your Majesty."

"What's up?"

Fang Xuanling took out a report and presented it to Zhang Xuan, "This is a report sent by Luo Yumin. Regarding some of Li Yuanji's recent activities, Weichen feels that there is a hidden opportunity here, so please ask Your Majesty to read the report first, and Weichen will discuss this matter with Your Majesty in detail."

Zhang Xuan took the report and nodded, "The military advisor will go to Feng Deyi first! I will discuss this report with the military advisor after I have finished reading it."

"Goodbye to me!"

Fang Xuanling gave a bow and hurried away. Zhang Xuan looked through this Luo Yumin's report. In fact, he has been paying attention to Li Yuanji. Li Yuanji is a huge cancer of the Tang Dynasty. He is actually a manifestation of Li Yuan's evil side. Once this cancer has ambition, he will swallow everything, including the last glimmer of hope of the Li Dynasty. Zhang Xuan hopes to make full use of this cancer.

Since Wei Yunqi went to Chang'an last year to send envoys to Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty appointed Feng Deyi, the Minister of Rites, to station in Zhongdu, and the Zhou Dynasty also appointed Wen Yanbo, the Minister of Rites, to station in Chang'an. However, the two permanent envoys eventually became decorations and did not play any role. Despite this, neither side withdrew the envoys and continued to maintain this superficial communication method.

Feng Deyi lives in a VIP hotel in Zhongdu. The treatment is pretty good, with a spacious yard, excellent food, and dedicated people to serve him. He also brought two concubines by his side, and the life of this year was quite comfortable.

However, Feng Deyi also had a big heart disease, that is his future. Seeing the Tang Dynasty becoming weaker day by day, and the Great Zhou Dynasty became stronger day by day, especially the vitality of Zhongdu and the prosperous business formed a sharp contrast with the withering and deserted Chang'an. Feng Deyi certainly understood that his future should be in Zhongdu, not Chang'an.

But for more than a year, Feng Deyi has been searching for a hole in the drill bit and looking for opportunities, but he has never found an opportunity to enter the Great Zhou Dynasty. He even took the imperial examination under the pseudonym, but he has long forgotten the scriptures he read when he was young, so the imperial examination was naturally defeated.

Feng Deyi was originally Yang Guang's Zhongshu Sheren and Yu Shiji's confidant. Although he was very talented, he was not good at character. He played a very disgraceful role in the Jiangdu Incident. However, Feng Deyi and Li Yuan had a good relationship. After joining the Tang Dynasty, he quickly received Li Yuan's respect and appointed him as the Minister of Rites.

However, Feng Deyi didn't know that although he wanted to change his life to the Zhou Dynasty, it was difficult for him to get another chance this time. Zhang Xuan had made a clear statement that given his disgraceful performance in Jiangdu, he would no longer accept him as Zhou Chen.

In the afternoon, Feng Deyi was sitting in the hall drinking tea. At this time, the head of the museum came to report: "Shishou, the Chief Secretary of the House is here!"

Feng Deyi was shocked and happy, and quickly got up to greet him. When he walked to the door, he happened to meet Fang Xuanling. Feng Deyi quickly bowed and smiled, "Which fragrant wind blows Fang Changshi?"

Fang Xuanling smiled, "There is something important to convey to Mr. Feng, and I hope it will not disturb Mr. Feng."

Feng Deyi said solemnly: "Since it is a business, please come in, Chief Secretary of the House!"

The two walked into the lobby and took a seat with the guest and the host. A maid served them tea. Fang Xuanling took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Does Feng Shishang have a way to contact Chang'an?"

"Yes! I can use Gexin to contact Chang'an."

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "My emperor hopes to truce the war with the Gui Dynasty for one year. If the Gui Dynasty agrees, as sincerity, we can send Prince Chai back to Chang'an."

Feng Deyi hurriedly said, "Then I will write a pigeon letter now!"

Fang Xuanling waved his hand, "There is a saying that I want to say in front. If His Highness of Qin wants to attack Yan'an County, then there will be no room for negotiation."

"I understand. Should we come to Zhongdu or you go to Chang'an in the specific negotiation?"

"If the emperor of the Youchao agrees to the negotiations, we will send a delegation to Chang'an."

The two of them said a few more words, and Fang Xuanling stood up and said goodbye. Feng Deyi sent him out. Seeing Fang Xuanling getting on the carriage and leaving, Feng Deyi finally couldn't help but hesitate: "Sir Fang, I don't know if I should mention something?"

"What does Mr. Feng want to say?" Fang Xuanling asked with a smile.

"That's right, I'm very willing to be loyal to the Zhou Dynasty. Can the Chief Secretary of the House tell the emperor for me?"

"So that's it. It's a good thing for the Minister of the Configure of the Secretariat to have this intention. However, my emperor even admires those who work hard for their own court. Those who are loyal to their court will also be loyal to the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Minister of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Configure of the Con

Feng Deyi touched a soft nail, his face was quite embarrassed, and he could only bow and smile bitterly: "Thank you, Chief Secretary, for your good advice, Feng knew it."

"The Minister of the Congshi should put official duties first and send a letter to Chang'an as soon as possible. If you have any reply, please send someone to tell me immediately and say goodbye first."

The carriage slowly started and left the VIP hotel. Feng Deyi looked at the carriage and walked away, sighed, and went back to do things listlessly.

The desolate and depressed scene in Chang'an City has improved a little these days. There are more people on the streets. Many old customers have come back from various restaurants one after another. The reason is that a large number of Xuanwu Jingwei have been sent to various places in Guanlong to clean the Guanlong noble manor. Without Xuanwu Jingwei surveillance in the city, Chang'an gradually became active.

The Guanlong nobles in the city were purged by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice, which was much gentler than Xuanwu Jingwei, but it still had serious consequences. Dou Wei and Dugu Qian committed suicide one after another, and the Dou family and Doulu family were dismissed from prefecture, which caused an uproar in Chang'an.

This is called the fight between gods and immortals in the sky, the people on the earth are happy, whose family was confiscated by Guanlong nobles? Which official was dismissed? How much money did the emperor get, etc. These interesting topics were talked about by drinkers in various restaurants in Chang'an. On the contrary, the news that Taiyuan was lost, Qu Tutong died heroically and the entire Tang army was destroyed, but not many people were concerned about the news.

In the Antai Tavern near Dongcheng City, dozens of drinkers were drinking while talking about the latest news.

"Do you know? The mansion of the Hou Mochen family in Daorenfang was raided today."

An old drinker brought shocking news, and the drinkers gathered around and said in a lingering manner: "What's going on, tell me!"

"This morning, the officials of Dali Temple led hundreds of imperial guards to break into Hou Mo Chenduo's mansion. I heard that Hou Mo Chenduo was angry to death. Dali Temple transported hundreds of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry from the back house warehouse, and 50,000 pieces of silk were used alone. Hou Mo Chenduo's sons and nephews injured people with knives, but were captured on the spot. It was even worse than yesterday's Yu family. At least the Yu family still left a lot of things, and the Hou Mo Chen family's warehouse was emptied."

"How could it be so miserable? I heard that Hou Mo Chenduo surrendered in advance. Why was the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty suddenly turned against him? The Emperor was cruel!"

"I don't think I can blame the emperor for this matter. After all, these Guanlong nobles are different from our flat-headed villains. If they have a strange intention, the Tang Dynasty will quickly destroy the country. If the Zhou army comes, they will definitely be the first to surrender. Instead of giving the Zhou army a favor, it is better to share their wealth with the soldiers, and maybe there is still a chance to turn the tables."

"It's a big deal. Bingzhou and Bashu are both lost, and they are still turning the tables! I think Chang'an will be broken sooner or later."

"Don't talk nonsense, beware of the misfortune coming from the mouth, Xuanwu Jingwei has not been exposed."

Everyone suddenly realized that Xuanwu Jingwei had not all left Chang'an, and they were so scared that they returned to their seats and did not dare to talk nonsense.
