Chapter 2 1. Who decides when mountains and rivers are broken?

The decadence and dilapidation of the late Tang Dynasty caused infinite melancholy and sadness.The decadent and dilapidated end of Tang Dynasty caused one after another of internal and external troubles.The Great Tang Empire, which once looked down on the world, dominated the east, and was at the peak of prosperity, was disgraced and lost its glory.Ended a lingering dream, fell into another endless nightmare.Since then, the imperial world has fallen into a deep whirlpool of chaos and cannot extricate itself.Who is the master who will save this nightmare? winter. Winter will arrive on time every three hundred and sixty-five days.

Is there anything special about this winter? Have. This winter is earlier and colder. This winter seems to bring a special chill and a special coldness. At least that's what one thinks in one's mind. The man is sitting in a big house. A magnificent and warm house. A big house like no other in the world. A house that is both empty and depressing. A palace with towering steps, majestic columns, carved beams and painted buildings, and gorgeous doors and windows. This house is the palace meeting hall of the Tang Dynasty. The unique and majestic imperial palace in the world. One of the hallmarks of winter is the wind, a strong north wind.

The north wind whistled, crossed the mountains, crossed the grassy river, and rushed into the thousand-year-old city of Chang'an, as if it wanted to uproot and blow away the entire city.The tall city walls of Chang'an City failed to stop the force of the north wind.The huge buildings and buildings in the city are row upon row, rolling up and down. This is the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty, with gorgeous corridors, solemn door plaques, deep courtyards, vast platform foundations, majestic corridors and columns, towering double eaves, and exquisite bricks and tiles. The royal style and majesty of the dynasty also represented the top level of construction engineering in the world at that time, which is a symbol of strength.But that is all in the past, more than a hundred years ago.Now the huge Tang Palace City looks very lonely in the cold winter.The high eaves of the palace hall can only split the head of the wind into strands, and the copper bells on the animal head tiles sway randomly in the wind, making sparse sounds, high and low through the thin The window screen got into the hall.

There is a tall bronze furnace in the center of the hall.The stove is in the shape of a three-story pagoda, the walls are inlaid with gold and hollowed out, and the roof is covered with double glazed eaves.The charcoal flames in the stove were burning vigorously, and the charcoal blocks made a slight cracking sound from time to time.The jumping flames reflected against the four walls of the hall, and there were many shadows, both illusion and reality.This stove seems to be the heart of this hall, beating alone. There is more than one person in the hall, there are about five or six people in total.Sitting on the high dragon chair to the north is a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, with delicate features and a thin figure, barely able to support the dragon robe on his body, so the dragon chair looks a bit empty.This young man is Tang Xizong Li Yan, who has just succeeded to the throne for less than a year, which is 874 AD.In the past year, Li Yan's status has changed from an ordinary vassal king to an emperor worshiped by thousands of people in an instant, and he is the emperor of the Tang Empire, the supreme monarch of the Tang Empire that lasted for nearly three hundred years.The crown prince system at the end of the Tang Dynasty was basically abandoned. Under the current situation of frequent changes and political turmoil, no one knew who the next emperor might be.The old emperor could not control the government when he was alive, and he could not control the situation behind him when he died.Most of the new emperors took up their new positions in a muddleheaded manner, and had no time to familiarize themselves with the situation, let alone preview and training. They had to learn by doing, learn by doing, learn by doing, and learn by doing.Li Yan is a product of this situation, a new emperor who is unprepared.

The gap between the emperor and the vassal king is naturally huge, and their workload, work content, and living system are also completely different.Although the emperor has a high status, the vassal king can be free, eat, drink and have fun. There is not so much responsibility on his head, and there is not so much work waiting to be dealt with, let alone so many annoying things and annoying people. .Although the old emperor Yizong commented on Li Yan in his will before his death, "filial piety and gentleness, generosity and generosity, daily innovation and virtue, natural and heroic appearance, all words are in the rules, and actions must be done according to etiquette", praised him like a flower, These are just smokescreens to create public opinion, and Li Yan knows exactly how much he weighs.Li Yan, who was living freely as a vassal king, suddenly received an imperial edict to make him emperor.Li Yan felt a "buzz" in his head, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.He knew that the emperor's seat was not easy to sit in, because he had seen his father Yizong's hard work.Therefore, Li Yan has no ambition to be an emperor at all, nor is he prepared for thought and skills.Li Yan, who became the emperor, was not overjoyed. On the contrary, he felt that sitting on this chair every day, with pain in his buttocks, was not as good as being a vassal king.In the past seven or eight months, every time after sitting on this chair, Li Yan's mind wandered, thinking about some messy things, so as to pass the hard time.

But today the little emperor didn't get distracted, not only didn't he think about any messy things, his mind was simply empty, he didn't have any thoughts.From time to time, Li Yan fiddled with his left finger with his right finger, or with his right finger with his left finger, staring intently at the flames in the copper furnace.The flames reflected Li Yan's eyes, the black pupils were bright and somewhat erratic.Opposite the emperor, there were five people sitting across the copper stove. These five people all looked dignified and bowed their heads in silence.Time passed by minute by minute, and the dripping sound of the clepsydra was clearly audible.After a long time, still no one spoke.Not only did no one speak, but they all shrank their necks into their collars, and some people shivered uncontrollably, as if there were ice cubes from the North Pole in their thick brocade cotton robes.

Li Yan looked at the people in front of him, and suddenly remembered his father, the old Emperor Yizong's last words before his death: "The days of being an emperor are like walking on thin ice..." Thinking of this, Li Yan felt that this winter was very early and very cold. The cold weather invades the human body.The coldness in the heart is plundering people's souls. The reason for the coldness is the pile of memorials piled up on several cases. Each of these memorials is expedited at eight hundred miles. Each of these memorials is extremely important. Each of these memorials is thrilling.

The first memorial was written ten days ago by Han Jian, deputy envoy of Jiedu in Weibo Fanzhen.The content is that Han Yunzhong, the former Wei Bo Jiedu envoy, died of illness and had no master in the army.Han Jian was supported by the Weibo garrison and was elected to take charge of the affairs of Weibo Fanzhen.After Han Jian stayed as a feudal town, he was waiting for the new Jiedu envoy appointed by the imperial court to take up his post.Although the tone of Han Jian's memorial is not out of courtesy, everyone can feel the forceful atmosphere revealed between the lines of the memorial.Weibo Fanzhen has always had a strong army, father, son and brother have been soldiers for generations, and the relationship between in-laws is complicated and entangled. If it is not handled properly, there will be endless troubles.Han Jian is the son of Han Yunzhong, he is not too stupid, nor does he lack the necessary conditions to be a Jiedushi.The atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze due to the heavy pressure and murderous intent revealed in the memorial.

The second memorial was written by Huang Jingfu, the military envoy of Fanghe Duzhi in Xichuan and the governor of Lizhou, eight days ago.Huang Jingfu reported to the court that Nanzhao had gathered a large army to attack Xichuan.In the battle for the Dadu River, the Tang army fought hard for several battles. Although they resisted for more than a month, they were finally defeated due to the lack of reinforcements from Xichuan and were outnumbered. The Dadu River fell.Nanzhao has now invaded Chengdu, and the fall of Chengdu is imminent, and the army and the people are in a hurry.What does Chengdu emergency mean?It means that Chengdu may not be able to hold on.What does it mean that Chengdu can't hold on?It means the collapse of the southwest barrier of Changan, Gyeonggi Province.

The third memorial was written by Tiande Zhenshou a month ago.It is reported that the Dangxiang and Uyghurs in the Northwest wantonly plundered and plundered. The Tang army was defeated and suffered heavy losses. Tiande Township is in danger of being wiped out.Dangxiang was always unwilling to surrender, and he was always aggressive and unruly. Even if he had a brief respect for the Tang Dynasty, it was just a superficial show, and he always wanted to dominate one side in his heart. The fourth memorial was written five days before the probation guard.Peasant uprisings are raging everywhere, cutting off customs and seizing food, and looting the homes of the rich. The government offices of prefectures and counties are helpless, and they are repeatedly slaughtered. Xuzhou is in danger.The probation army has never had military discipline, and mutiny and chaos are almost commonplace. Now that there are mass riots, I don't know what kind of chaos the situation will turn into.

The fifth memorial was written by Wang Shu, the governor of Shangzhou, twenty days ago.Because the military expenditure allocated by the imperial court has not been in place for a long time, the finances of the army and the yamen are difficult to sustain.Unable to pay military salaries, soldiers and yamen servants often deserted to do small business, and did not attend work normally.In order to increase income and reduce expenditure, Wang Shu halved the price of grain received from farmers.Unexpectedly, this measure aroused public outrage, and the common people rushed into the government office and beat Wang Shu with a stick. In the group fight, two officials were beaten to death. When everyone in the hall was silent, suddenly, there was a sound of "gulu bang" on the roof.Xi Zong frowned and looked at the eunuch on duty standing beside him, the eunuch immediately understood, and ran out of the palace gate to see what happened.After a while, the eunuch on duty came back and lowered his head to report: "Long live, the statue of the beast on the roof was blown down by the wind." Everyone stared at the eunuch for a moment, then fell silent again. up.Xi Zong looked at the memorial, looked at the stove, and looked at several ministers, coughed, and said timidly: "My dear friends, these memorials have been backlogged for a long time, what should you do? ? So many difficult things have piled up, there must be a countermeasure." So who are the important people sitting in the hall? The participants on such occasions are generally figures at the level of the prime minister. According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, the prime minister's power was divided among Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province and Shangshu Province.The highest official of Zhongshu Province is called Zhongshuling, and there are two deputies under it called Zhongshu Shilang, and there are seven or eight Zhongshusheren, who are responsible for drafting opinions on documents and affairs.The highest officer of the province under the door is called Shizhong, and there are two deputies called Shilang, and then there are several people in Shizhong, who are responsible for checking the compliance and rationality of the imperial edict, and belong to the trader.The highest official of Shangshu Province is called Shangshu Ling, and there are six departments under it, and the highest officials of each department are called Shangshu.The organizational system of Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and Shangshu is collectively called the "three provinces and six departments" system.The Zhongshu Province is responsible for making decisions on the proposed decision-making, putting forward opinions on how to handle it, and after submitting to the emperor's approval, an imperial order is formed and sent to the province for review. If there is no objection, the six ministries of the Shangshu Province will be responsible for the formal implementation.Of course, during this period, the emperor had the right to veto, and the province also had the power to disagree. The province of Shangshu had no decision-making power but only execution power.This is the daily responsibility and mode of operation of the three provinces and six ministries.On the basis of the system of three provinces and six ministries, the Tang Dynasty developed the system of meeting halls.The meeting hall is a formal institution for decision-making on military and state affairs, and it belongs to the highest authority.Therefore, the decision-making method of the Tang Dynasty still belongs to the real "discussion", and there are fixed places and procedures for discussing matters.The meeting place is the political affairs hall. The political affairs hall is divided into the main hall and the backyard. The main hall is the place where the prime ministers collectively work and hold meetings, and the backyard is where the secretariat works and drafts documents.After the mid-Tang Dynasty, the council system stabilized. In fact, the chiefs of the three provinces were gathered together to hold joint meetings, which was a working system of brainstorming and teamwork.It should be said that this kind of work system is both democratic and centralized, the discussion atmosphere is relatively relaxed, and the final plans are mostly the result of optimization.An edict issued by the emperor at his own discretion is invalid if it is not discussed in the political affairs hall.It can be seen from this that the decision-making procedure of the Tang Dynasty was scientific and serious to a certain extent, the prime minister had a high status, and the emperor was only a link in the decision-making procedure.When the emperor met with the ministers of civil and military affairs, he also provided seats and tea for the prime minister, allowing them to sit and discuss matters, and the spiritual and material treatment were relatively high.Later, prime ministers not only referred to the chief executives of the three provinces, but also included the six ministers and people with titles such as Shen Zhi Zheng Shi and Tong Ping Zhang Shi.In such an environment, dissenting opinions are generally allowed to be published, which protects the subjective initiative of the discussants to a certain extent.It can be said that the glorious development of the Tang Dynasty in the first half is inseparable from its looser political strategies. Among them, the handling of the relationship between imperial power and relative power was relatively successful, which improved the governance efficiency and decision-making quality of the entire central government.The governance system of this period was probably the most advanced in Chinese history. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the country's politics were abolished, the system collapsed, the emperor was incompetent, and his ministers were fighting among parties.The decision-making procedures for military and state affairs were often disrupted. The emperor only discussed matters with more trusted and close officials, and the political affairs hall system was in name only.Since a small number of people make decisions in an abnormal order, it is easy for treacherous people to take advantage of the loopholes and speculate to control the power of the court.After the late Tang Dynasty, there were still two major characteristics of court politics. One was party struggle among bureaucrats.Regardless of indiscriminate, political ideas and propositions must belong to a certain party, otherwise it will be impossible to gain a foothold in the court, which is commonly known as "standing in line".The factions and groups are fighting endlessly, regardless of right and wrong. Only by standing in the right team can there be a future.The second is the struggle between the prime minister group and the eunuch group.Eunuchs can not only issue orders under the guise of the emperor, but also control the Shence Imperial Army for decades.When eunuchs are outside, they are stationed in various armies as supervisors and have the right to report impeachment directly, which is often greater than the command power of generals.It has become an important force to divide the imperial regime and one of the biggest enemies of the bureaucracy. Sitting opposite the emperor across the copper furnace were five ministers, namely Cui Yanzhao, Minister of Zhongshu, Zheng Tian, ​​Minister of Military Affairs, Cheng Zhi, Minister of the Imperial Academy, Lu Xie, Minister of Household Department, She Wang Duo, the servant on the left, and Tian Lingzi, Lieutenant of Shence Army, on the right. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the highest officials of the three provinces, including Zhongshuling, Shizhong, and Shangshuling, bestowed Jiedushi on powerful feudal towns, which became a kind of honorary treatment.Therefore, although Cui Yanzhao is a servant, he is actually the prime minister of the dynasty and the head of all officials.Cui Yanzhao came from a family of officials and eunuchs. He was good at economics and finance, and he was quite strategic in the adjustment of income and expenditure.Under his management, the treasury has more surplus food.Cui Yanzhao has worked in the local government and has experience in grassroots governance.He also attached great importance to giving and benefiting the government, that is to say, he has carried out many projects for people's livelihood, so he has won the hearts of the people.Cui Yanzhao's attainments in Confucianism are particularly profound. He is a learned and cultivated official. He is upright and ethical, and his administration is impartial and law-abiding.Cui Yanzhao was still a filial son, very filial to his old mother, even though he was a high official, he still served him attentively, and he never stopped asking early or late.In the late Tang Dynasty, there were very few senior officials like Cui Yanzhao who had a large-scale integrity and self-cultivation in multiple dimensions.After Emperor Xizong ascended the throne, Cui Yanzhao was promoted to the position of Minister of Zhongshu, who was also in charge of finance. Zheng Tian was also born in a family of officials and officials. He was intelligent, handsome, and handsome.This person belongs to the kind of person who is brilliant but has no personality. He was squeezed out by his father's political opponents because of the party struggle of his father's generation. He has been sent to other places to work as a small bureaucrat.However, Zheng Tian is quite confident, far-sighted, impatient and straightforward, daring to fight, and not forbearing.Despite all the setbacks, Zheng Tian still insisted on writing a confession many times, arguing that he has a clean and capable talent, and his original intention is to serve the country.Alas, there is no way, most people with character do not go well in their official careers.After Emperor Xizong succeeded to the throne, Zheng Tiancai became the Minister of the Ministry of War.Zheng Tiansu was at odds with Tian Lingzi and other eunuchs. Although Lu Xiezu's ancestors were not high-ranking officials, they can be regarded as family members.Although Lu Xie also came from a formal career, but his intentions are not right, he likes to play with power, he is especially good at identifying the distribution of power in the court, adapting to the wind, flexibly adjusting his position in factional struggles, keen to cling to the powerful, making friends with eunuchs and powerful towns. He looks very happy in officialdom.Lu Xie has always spared no effort in the fight for power and profit, so that for a period of time later he called the wind and rain in the court and controlled the government for many years.Lu Xie and Zheng Tian were political enemies and belonged to different factions. Wang Duo came from the family of prime ministers and belonged to a large family of officials and officials.He is good at identifying people, and has selected many people with real talents and real learning. He is an excellent personnel cadre.Old Wang Duo was wise and thoughtful, scheming, established rules and regulations for the country, and was diligent in worrying about state affairs.But this old man has another characteristic, he pays attention to self-support, lives a luxurious life, and is good at spending. Tian Lingzi was originally Xiaomafang envoy when Emperor Xizong Li Yan was the vassal king. He was a low-ranking eunuch who mainly helped Li Yan play games and played games.After Li Yan became the emperor, he promoted Tian Lingzi to the rank of lieutenant of the Shence Army, and basically handed over all matters to Tian Lingzi. The emperor also called Tian Lingzi "Father". "Father" is equivalent to a father, and his seniority is the same as that of the late old emperor, how honorable and important he is!Although the "little boss" below Tian Lingzi is gone, the big boss above is well-developed, well-read, scheming, likes to seize power and accept bribes, and will never show mercy to those who disobey him. All officials down to the prime minister respect him. . After a few more seconds of silence, someone finally broke the silence. Cui Yanzhao, Minister of Zhongshu, said solemnly: "Your Majesty, since the Anshi Rebellion, not only the three towns of Lulong, Weibo, and Chengde in Heshuo have not been abolished, but other feudal towns have supported themselves and continued to expand. It has become a chronic disease of the court. Khitan, Dangxiang , Nanzhao, and Tubo’s rebellious hearts intensified, and foreign aggression became more and more serious. The imperial court fought in vain and spent a lot of money. The leader of the bandits, King Xianzhi of Puzhou, bewitched the people and looted the state capital, causing great harm to the people. It can be described as an eventful autumn! It is urgent, but it should not be dealt with hastily, and it needs to be considered in the long run." Cui Yanzhao made a point, and others also expressed their opinions one after another. "Kanto has been plagued by successive years of disasters, and the grain has not been harvested. The people are struggling to survive by eating tree bark and wall root soil. However, the government of the state government is urgent to collect taxes. Ordinary homes have been demolished and displaced. In recent years, the imperial court The finances are not enough to make ends meet. Although the taxation management cards have been added, tax items have been increased, and tax rates have been increased, instead of relieving the financial pressure, they have killed chickens and taken eggs, and all industries have withered. Your Majesty's new treasure should be to appease the hearts of the people. Now Xuzhou, Shangzhou civil uprising , It’s just to grab food and feed our hunger, please Your Majesty bestow an official position on the leader of the bandit and appease him, so that the disturbance can be appeased,” Zheng Tian, ​​the minister of the Ministry of War, said with piercing eyes. Chengzhi, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and Lu Xie, the servant of the household department, raised his eyelids and glanced at the emperor, saying: "Your Majesty, the people's thieves are making progress, and the relief can hardly fill their stomachs. Besides, the granaries in various parts of the imperial court have been unrealized for many years, and the turnover in the army is still not good. There is no food left. The local governors should be ordered to suppress the troublemakers, and they should be killed to serve as an example to others, so as not to cause others to follow suit." Zuo Servant Wang Duo took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the finances of the Holy Dynasty are now empty, and the troops are scattered in the feudal towns. The governors each focus on the Fangzhen, and do not contribute to the country. The court's orders do not reach the capital, and the Holy Grace is hard to cover All over the world. Therefore, there were Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, Uighur, and Khitan rebellions in the north, and Baiyue, Nanzhao, and Tubo invasions in the south. For the current plan, we should send capable ministers to lead the army to aid Xichuan at the expense of wealth, or we can stop The sharp edge of Nanzhao's invasion of the north." The emperor's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Who should be sent to Sichuan?" Lu Xie raised his shoulders and replied: "Your Majesty, the governor of Tianping, Gao Pian, has a strategy of culture and martial arts, and can take on the important task of the Southern Expedition." Tian Lingzi, the lieutenant of the Right Shence Army and the eunuch Tian Lingzi, echoed unhurriedly: "Master Lu's words are very true. Gao Pian is quite wise and worthy of a great responsibility. However, we should not take the feudal towns lightly, and we should select capable internal officials to enrich them. The post of supervising the army, supervising the imperial edicts." "Your Majesty, the vassals and towns are domineering and domineering. Setting the court's order is like a child's play. What's more, the father dies and the son succeeds himself. Although it is abhorrent, it is already the norm. If you suddenly correct it and fear a mutiny, it is better to appease and take power at the same time. On the river Shuoqiang town needs to be especially cautious, and should focus on appeasement. For Bianbi town, the imperial court can choose civilians to serve as Jiedu envoys to gradually weaken its separatist power. As for the practice of internal officials serving as supervisors, it can be followed in feudal towns, and it is not suitable for war It will be carried out in the frontier army, and the power of special conquest should be given to the general." Cui Yanzhao straightened his clothes and said solemnly. Tian Lingzi squinted at Cui Yanzhao, hummed, and said, "Your Majesty, in Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yunzhou, Henan, and Hebei, people are changing frequently, and thieves are everywhere. We should attach great importance to it, and we should not be negligent to cause a prairie fire. Please Instruct the two towns of Yanzhou and Yunzhou to send troops to assist the probation army to eliminate the bandits." Cui Yanzhao looked at Tian Lingzi, opened his mouth, but stopped talking. Emperor Xizong might be a little tired, rubbed his eyes with his right hand, pinched his nose again, twisted his neck a few times, it seems that his cervical spine is uncomfortable.After doing these exercises, Li Yan planned to lean his back on the back of the dragon chair, but he failed to lean on it twice, so he had to move his buttocks, and then leaned on the back of the dragon chair. Xi Zong picked up a Ruyi handle beside him and glanced at it, then stretched out his arms and flipped through the memorial in front of him with Ruyi's head, thinking, "There are so many annoying things, what's the point of you people arguing about it? How do you know whose method works? Whoever comes up with the idea will do it."Thinking of this, Xi Zong lightly knocked on the table, yawned and said: "Okay, just do as the love ministers said, and Lu Xie drafted an order." Lu Xie looked at Xi Zong's expression, as if he had read the little emperor's thoughts, he picked up the pen without thinking, and started to write in regular script, finishing the drafting of the edict in one go.Lu Xie was very proud of his ability to write articles, spread out his hands and read aloud: "Appoint Han Jian as Weibo Jiedu Envoy, be sure to govern diligently, protect the environment and the people. Add the Virtue Jiedu Envoy Wang Jingchong and attendant, add Lulong Festival Dushi Zhang Gongsu Ping Zhangshi. Add Tianping Jiedu envoy Gao Pian Tong Ping Zhang Shi, also Chengdu Yin, deputy ambassador of Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu, Zhi Jiedushi, led the army into Sichuan to conquer Nanzhao, and must defeat the enemy. Zhao Yanzhou Soldiers and horses from the two towns of Yunzhou and Yunzhou assisted the probation army to wipe out the thieves. In order to show the prestige of the country, the Uighur party items were canonized, and Tang Hongfu was given the jade book and the national letter to grant spiritual salt Jiedu envoy Tang Hongfu to take charge of it. Emperor Xizong glanced at the officials again.Seeing that no one expressed any objection, Xi Zong picked up the jade seal on the table with his fair and slender hands with visible veins, and stamped heavily on the imperial edict. Xi Zong stretched his waist and said: "Everyone who loves you and is loyal to the country, you have to work hard on state affairs and take good care of your body, let's go and rest." All the ministers got up, chanted "thank you", and turned to leave the hall. Before the figures of the ministers disappeared, Xi Zong couldn't wait to jump off the dragon chair, turned around the screen, exited the side door of the main hall, walked through the winding and winding corridor, and ran towards the harem like smoke.While running, Xi Zong told the panting eunuch behind him: "Go quickly, gather everyone, we will have two cuju competitions." The eunuch in charge quickened his pace and rushed to find someone in front of Xi Zong.After a while, more than a dozen young eunuchs had assembled in the open space in the back garden.At this time, Xi Zong had already changed into short skirts and stood in front of the venue.Following an order, the emperor and the crowd rushed into the arena, and the football match began in full swing.Xi Zong is a fan, and he is also a technical school.Football in China has been popular for a long time. During the Tang Dynasty, it has become a group activity of officials and folks.Although football at that time was called Cuju, it was not a real ball, and the rules of the game were different from today’s, but they were all played with feet, dribbling and kicking.Emperor Li Yan loved the football of his motherland since he was a child, and played an exemplary role in the prosperity of Datang football.Li Yan's enthusiasm for studying football technology is far greater than his interest in governing the country. He is a student who is good at sports but partial to politics.When the old emperor was alive, he did not carry out quality education for the prince's education, let alone pay attention to the comprehensive development of Li Yan's morality, intelligence, physique and beauty.All the energy and interests of the little prince are how to entertain and pursue hobbies.Most of the princes have never taken the initiative to care about national affairs, let alone received preparatory class training or intensive training, because they believe that the affairs of the celestial dynasty are managed by others, and they don't need to worry about them.The abolition of the successor system is also an important part of the decline of the empire. Li Yan himself didn't think so.
