President of Datang [Transmigration Book]

Li Tan felt that after so many things, his temper really improved a lot, and he was not angry when he heard such words.

Of course, a good temper does not mean that he will let these people continue to toss. He lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Call Qijin here."

Qing Kong was curious in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. In fact, Li Tan's expression didn't look like he was not angry.

Ever since Li Tan became an idle prince, he spent less and less time studying day by day, and Qi Jin gradually became dispensable as a book boy.

However, Li Tan was more nostalgic, so he still let him stay in the study to serve, and did not drive him back.

But after being with Li Tan for a long time, especially in the study for a long time, Qi Jin was also greatly influenced by Li Tan. At some point, his way of thinking was somewhat similar to Li Tan.

When Jin Jin heard that Li Tan called him, he couldn't help asking: "Why did the king suddenly call me over?"

Qing Kong shook his head and said: "I don't know either, but you should be careful, the king is not in a good mood."

As a die-hard supporter of Li Tan, Li Jin immediately said with a murderous look on his face, "Who made the king angry?"

Empty is also a little unhappy: "It's not those who are full."

After he narrated the matter, Cheng Jin became even more unhappy: "This screwdriver really deserves to be killed."

After Qing Kong talked to him again, he felt much better than before, and said at this time: "Okay, the king is still waiting, let's go."

Teng Jin immediately shut his mouth as if he didn't know anything.

When he walked into the study, Li Tan was immersed in writing something. After saluting carefully, he asked, "I don't know what your majesty's order is?"

Li Tan raised his head and looked at Qi Jin for a long while, and then said after seeing that he was hairy all over, "You are not young anymore, it's not good to stay idle in the mansion all the time."

When Jin Jin heard this, he immediately became excited. Although Li Tan said that he was not young, in fact he was only one year older than Li Tan. He was 17 years old this year, and he was about to be eighteen. Haven't been out yet.

It's just that he has been with Li Tan for a long time, Li Tan is really doing big things now, as Li Tan's book boy, he will naturally demand himself with higher standards.

He naturally wanted to be able to take on greater responsibilities, but before Li Tan surrounded those who were either experienced seniors, or people like Zhu Xieli who were helped by the heavens, no matter how anxious he was, he could only do it. can wait.

Is it finally his turn to show his talents?

When Jin Jin thought of this, he immediately said: "But according to the king's order, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Li Tan suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, why did everyone have to go through fire and water, he waved his hand and said: "It's not that serious, as for me... I want to re-establish a public opinion department. After deliberation, only you are the most suitable person in charge. You know that this department is the best." What are you going to do?"

Qin Jin is not stupid, he vaguely understood something when he heard the word public opinion, he asked cautiously: "But want to check the rumors in Chang'an?"

Li Tan nodded: "That's right, you have to check it carefully, and arrest it after you find it. Listen clearly, it's a careful check. I want definite evidence, not those rumors, understand?"

Of course, Jin Jin understood what Li Tan meant, so he hesitated before asking: "This... should have been given to Dali Siqing, right? Will he..."

Li Tan crossed his hands and propped his chin and said: "Siqing Dali has too many things to do now, so don't bother him with these gossips, but you can go and follow him these two days to see how he handles the case. And... as the person in charge of the Public Opinion Bureau, you must be fair, I don't want to hear that one day this department becomes a tool for you to attack dissidents, understand?"

Suddenly Jin was covered in cold sweat, knelt down and swore: "Qijin will never dare to use public weapons for private use, otherwise the sky will be struck by thunder!"

Li Tan warned: "Not only do you have to be careful, but you also have to restrain your subordinates! The Lord of Bohai County is loyal and righteous, but he has mixed reputations. It's not because the eunuchs he promoted are narrow-minded and have no way to attack dissidents." Don’t be soft-handed, and you should learn from it.”

Teng Jin nodded vigorously with a serious face.

Li Tan waved his hand at him and said, "Okay, you go down first, I'll look for an opportunity to tell Dali Siqing later, you learn from him first, and then handle the case yourself."

Qijin left eagerly. Although this incident put him under a lot of pressure, it proved important when the pressure was high.

After he left, Li Tan was still a little worried about how to tell Dali Siqing. It was foreseeable that Zou Shi would never agree to this matter.

Li Tan still has to try his best to convince him, the most frightening thing is that if Zou Shi can't say it, he might even pull Ji He.

Compared with Zou Shi, Ji He gave Li Tan a better feeling.

He is that kind of standard gentleman, and he is the kind who treats others leniently and disciplines himself strictly. Getting along with others always makes people feel like a spring breeze.

When confronted with such a person, Li Tan will have a rare conscience discovery, and if Ji He insists on opposing, it will give Li Tan a feeling that he is right and he is wrong.

But the problem is that the world will be better if there are more gentlemen, but gentlemen must not be decision makers, they will be tricked by villains.

Although Li Tan was conflicted in his heart, he still invited Dali Temple Minister Zou Shi over.

When Zou Shi came here, he had expected it in his heart, thinking that Li Tan might want to severely punish those who spread rumors, but he never thought that Li Tan would directly set up a department.

Even when he heard about it, he froze there, and said after a while, "This...Your Highness, don't be joking, just leave this matter to Dali Temple, why bother?"

Li Tan shook his head and said, "Dali Temple is busy enough now, as long as things like rumors are investigated a little slower, the city will be full of storms, especially now that people are panicking and it is easy for them to take advantage of it."

Zou Shi knew that what Li Tan said was reasonable, but he still subconsciously didn't want to set up such a department.

Because he can almost foresee what kind of bloody storms will be caused in the future if this department becomes big. At that time, the head of the Public Opinion Department will be the second Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong?

Just when Zou Shi was thinking about how to persuade Li Tan to give up this idea, Jing Zhao Yin Ji He came.

Zou Shi was overjoyed when he heard that he had come, and he could also feel that Li Tan could listen to Ji He's words better.

But Li Tan felt a little headache, he wanted to break down one by one, so he specially called Zou Shi over, but why did he bump into Ji He?

Of course, Ji He came here because of the recent rumors in the city.

As soon as he came in, he started to talk about this question, and then saw Li Tan's expression of lovelessness, and was a little puzzled: "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Zou Shi on the side looked gloating, the eloquent Prince Ning finally met his match.

Li Tan didn't say a word, Zou Shi wouldn't help him hide it, and explained his plan in detail.

After hearing this, Ji He didn't blame Li Tan first, but sighed and said: "It's my negligence to let His Highness be trapped by rumors."

Li Tan was even more desperate in his heart, Ji He was such a person, the first thing that came to his mind was not to throw the blame, but to review his own responsibilities first.

Li Tan has always been soft and not tough, and he beat back those who ignored him and made trouble for three points. When encountering someone like Ji He, he couldn't help but also review whether he was too radical.

What surprised him was that Ji He's next sentence was: "If His Highness has someone useful, it would be good to have a Public Opinion Department. It will also lighten our burden and make me lazy."

When Ji He said this, he was smiling, ignoring the widened eyes of Li Tan and Zou Shi, and added: "However, Dali Temple still has to exercise its power of supervision, and don't let the Ministry of Public Opinion wrong good people. .”

His words put another shackle on the Public Opinion Department.

However, Li Tan didn't think there was any problem. What he was always worried about was that someone would use this department to attack dissidents.

Although he has repeatedly emphasized, the problem is that the current situation can be controlled, but people's hearts will change. When the interest group headed by him is formed, it may not be easy to control.

But the problem is that it doesn’t work if you don’t do it. It might be okay if there is a Dali Temple to look at it.

Of course, it is also necessary to prevent the Public Opinion Department and Dali Temple from becoming rivals.

Li Tan felt that he still had the confidence to control the Public Opinion Department. After hearing Ji He's agreement, he regained his vigor and said happily, "This is an extraordinary period. After this period, the Public Opinion Department may be disbanded." .”

After hearing this, Ji He nodded and said, "This is also a good way."

After the conclusion of this matter was reached, Ji He relaxed and said goodbye to Li Tan directly - he originally came here because he didn't know how to deal with these rumor-mongers, but now that he has a solution, it depends What are you doing here?He is very busy.

Zou Shi walked away with Ji He in a trance, and after walking out of the palace, Zou Shi came back to his senses, quickly pulled Ji He and asked: "Old Ji, Lao Ji, wait a while."

Ji He turned to look at him and asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?"

Zou Shi said in a low voice: "Why do you agree with His Royal Highness King Ning to set up that Public Opinion Department?"

Ji He asked back: "Why can't you agree?"

Zou Shi was very anxious: "Can't you see it? What a hidden danger this is."

Ji He laughed and shook his head: "Do you have unrealistic expectations for King Ning?"

Zou Shi was stunned for a moment, let go of him and asked, "What?"

Ji He said: "Your Highness, this department is obviously for emergency use. It will be disbanded in the future. How can it last for a long time? That is to say, if he is a saint, no, if he is a prince, I don't care if he does this today." would agree, but he doesn't, so you don't have to be so worried."

Zou Shi instantly understood Ji He's thoughts.

Because Li Tan is only managing Chang'an temporarily, when the sage returns or the crown prince returns, the power will return to them. At that time, these two will definitely find a way to disband this department, or hold this department in their hands.

But that's for later.

Zou Shi was silent for a while before asking: "Do you want the saint to come back?"

Ji He paused, and then sighed after a while: "Look at the prince."

Zou Shi understood that even a person like Ji He had no hope for a saint, so he couldn't help but asked again: "If one day... the crown prince and His Highness King Ning, who would you choose?"

Ji He was silent. In the past, he would naturally choose the orthodox, but now...a person who can turn the tide in troubled times...he can't just say that Li Tan is inappropriate.

At least in the hearts of the people in Chang'an, perhaps Li Tan is the most suitable one.

Thinking of this, Ji He froze, and finally sighed and said: "If the war can be settled, I hope King Ning can know how to advance and retreat."

Zou Shi sneered: "He knows what's the use of advancing and retreating? Can he retreat completely? His achievements are overwhelming..."

Ji He suddenly shouted: "Shut up!"

Zou Shi also knew that he had said it, so he immediately shut up.

Ji He sighed and said, "King Ning is willing to retreat, so I will protect him even if I fight this old bone."

Zou Shi muttered, "It's not fair."

As the Minister of Dali Temple, although he knows that fairness is very extravagant, the more he is like this, the more he wants to pursue fairness.

Ji He smiled wryly: "What are you thinking about now? Who will know what will happen then?"

Zou Shi didn't speak anymore, and although Ji He said it was useless to think about it now, he was still worried.

If Li Tan repelled Anlu Mountain, the crown prince's prestige would plummet because of his escape, but King Ning's prestige would be high. Once Li Tan had any ideas, it would have to be followers.

Ji He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, telling himself that now is not the time to think about these things.

If you start to worry about Li Tan's fight for the position now, I'm afraid Chang'an is really hopeless.

Li Tan didn't know that these people were worried that he would compete for the position, and he was still sorting out the framework of the Public Opinion Department.

Of course, he was just giving a framework, and he had to let Chengjin do it himself.

If everything was arranged by him, what else would he do with his subordinates?

Doing everything by yourself is not necessarily a good thing, but it will reduce efficiency by wasting time on unnecessary things.

And after Qi Jin studied with Zou Shi for a few days, Li Tan was surprised to find that he was much calmer, and he didn't know what ideas Zou Shi had instilled in him.

Li Tan didn't ask, and directly handed over the Public Opinion Department to him, and let him recruit people by himself—in any case, Li Tan only had so many people under his command, so let him choose by himself.

Qi Jin seemed to have thought about this problem a long time ago, and directly selected ten people to start working.

Li Tan was a little surprised. He originally assigned 50 people to Cheng Jin.

Fifty people are actually not enough to grasp the direction of public opinion in the entire city of Chang'an.

However, Qijin actually only needs ten people.

Li Tan watched coldly, and two days later, Qi Jin actually found the person who spread the rumors, and he wiped out a gang in one go!

Although it is said to be a gang, it is actually just five or six people.

Teng Jin questioned these people about their backgrounds and the reasons for the rumors, and then placed the documents on Li Tan's case.

Li Tan picked up the document and read it again, and then he was a little dumbfounded—it was written on the document that these people who incited the people were the ministers of the Ministry of Rites of the Daqian Kingdom.

And that big money country is actually Lizheng of a village near Chang'an. After finding out that the imperial court had left and Chang'an was in chaos, this man was having a meeting with the whole village to plan his future life and see if An Lushan was running away or hiding when he called. At that time, after discussing and discussing, they established the country with enthusiasm.

After most people fled Chang'an, this big money country still wanted to occupy Chang'an.

But occupying Chang'an requires weapons, so these people began to rack their brains to get weapons.

Because Datang had very strict controls on copper and iron ware before, their village was a little richer, and the iron ware in their hands were nothing more than farm tools.

They tried every means to modify farm tools, and even went to cut wood to get some "bows and arrows" for the young and strong to practice.

As a result, their "bow and arrow" had just been popularized in Lizheng and those housekeepers' homes, and it hadn't reached the point where all the people had weapons. Then Li Tan came!

Big Qianguo was very unhappy from top to bottom, but after watching the scene of Li Tan's entry into Beijing, they wisely realized that they would definitely not be able to beat them, so let's use another method.

So they thought of one of the best methods: bad reputation.

Under their "careful" planning, coupled with the fact that the private school teachers in the village are more or less proficient in writing, various versions of rumors can be easily grasped.

Such a result was never expected by Li Tan. He guessed many possibilities. He thought that some officials who had been brought down by him before took the opportunity to make trouble, or it might be that the people left here by An Lushan wanted to welcome An Lu. Mountain and make trouble.

As a result, I never expected that when they were beating their lives and beating their lives to death, someone would quietly "build a country"!

Li Tan reluctantly put down the paperwork and said, "Send people to that village to arrest them all, and lock them up for a while, and you'll be honest!"

Originally, Li Tan thought that if he was a leading party or a secret agent, he would be severely punished, but this result... It is really hard for him to severely punish him.

It's just a group of whimsical ordinary people, and from the beginning to the end, these ordinary people didn't even do anything harmful except toss in their own village.

No matter how insane Li Tan was, it was impossible to really kill all these people, oh, not really, that Mr. Private School had to be killed.

It’s okay for the other villagers to be fools if they don’t know a few big characters. You have read the book for two days anyway. You are not required to have the heart of martyrdom in the face of national calamity, but you can’t do such unfaithful things, right?

So the one who was punished the most in the whole matter was the private school teacher, and Ji He and Zou Shi were somewhat relieved after seeing his handling.

It's just that once the rumors arise, it is not particularly easy to contain them.

Although Li Tan didn't ask people to kill those villagers, he still asked people to spread the word, saying that those who spread the rumors were all killed.

At this time, he didn't care about his reputation, so he had to be ruthless!

And what he did was really effective in curbing the wave. Even if everyone talked about it in private, they didn't dare to publicize it.

Li Tan could only turn a blind eye to this situation, and turned around to improve farm tools.

If he wants to improve farm tools, he can do everything in one step except that they cannot be directly automated.

At the beginning, he thought about following the technological development of this era, but at this time, seeing that the common people were going to starve, anyway, he didn't do one or two things that were too much, so he just put them in place.

As for why he understands this...well, he just came up with it unintentionally. Anyway, everyone in Chang'an knows that he reads a lot.

The more you read, the more you will be inspired, no problem!

The palace has recruited a bunch of carpenters. Although no one knows what King Ning is going to do, these carpenters will not ask what the master is going to do as long as they have a job to make ends meet these years.

Anyway, they are in the state of employment with the palace, and they have not signed a contract of sale, so they are very free.

It's just that even though these carpenters had already thought about it so much, when they found out that King Ning recruited them to make farm tools, everyone was blinded.

Now the atmosphere of war is very strong. It is said that An Lushan's army is gradually occupying the towns around Chang'an. At this time, you don't want to find a way to see how to defend Chang'an, but come to make farm tools?

The carpenters were full of question marks on their heads, and then they found that the question mark had never gone down since it reached the top of their heads.

Because they found that the agricultural tools that His Highness King Ning was going to make were all for farm work, but how and why they did it, no one could understand.

But Li Tan didn't give them time to figure it out, so he directly gave them the blueprints and gave them a deadly order to make them in a very short time.

Among other things, the craftsmanship of these carpenters is still good. It is said that these people used to be domestic slaves of rich families.

It’s just that the owner left them behind when he fled—not to mention that it’s too late to bring any slaves, even if it’s useful to bring slaves, carpenters probably don’t have much use, basically they don’t will take away.

Li Tan was a little fortunate in his heart, if these carpenters were taken away, it would be too difficult for him to produce new farming tools so quickly.

On the day when the new farm tools were produced, Li Tan went directly to Ji He. Ji He is an official close to the people of Jing Zhaoyin, and it is said that he often goes to the field to farm—Jing Zhaoyin’s salary is not low, but Ji He’s background cannot be supported It's not very good, a lot of his salary is used to help relatives.

Therefore, the dignified Jing Zhaoyin occasionally has to go to the ground to grow food and vegetables to maintain his basic life.

Even the place where the house given to him by the imperial court was originally used to grow flowers has been changed to grow vegetables and food.

Therefore, Li Tan didn't want to be surrounded by people, but also wanted to try new farm tools. The first thing he thought of was to go to Ji He.

When Ji He saw the pile of things Li Tan brought, he froze there: "This...what is this?"

Li Tan said: "This is a new farm tool I made. It should be very useful. Try it."

After hearing this, Ji He was also full of question marks. Apart from arresting some people who spread rumors, Li Tan kept a low profile the rest of the time. Forget about him.

At first everyone thought that Li Tan was making a battle plan or trying to figure out how to resist Anlu Mountain.

Regarding the fact that Li Tan didn't ask them to join him as a staff officer, everyone was in a stable mood - they were all civilian officials, and none of them had been on the battlefield. Even if they had read military books, they hadn't actually studied it too deeply.

Bringing them over to discuss it may only add to the chaos.

But what is going on now?Co-author You haven't done anything these days, so you just study this?

Even with Ji He's good temper, he couldn't help being a little angry. When did he still care about these things?

But after all, he was trying to save face for Li Tan, and Li Tan asked him to try it, so he really got a servant to try it.

As a result, after this trial, he saw a little way, and before waiting for the feedback from his servants, he went into battle and tried it himself.

After trying it, Ji He turned to look at Li Tan in shock: "This... this..."

Li Tan asked with a smile, "Is it easy to use?"

Ji He nodded vigorously: "Do twice the result with half the effort!"

Li Tan said: "Hey, I thought about this before. There is no way. The army went ahead without moving food and grass. However, seeing that many crops around Chang'an are ruined, I found out that it was because people were all taken away. No one I can't change people for a while, so I can only try to improve the farm tools. If I can improve these farm tools and let one person do the work of two people, then not only the army food will be guaranteed, but the survival of the common people will also be guaranteed. .”

Ji He's mood was smooth this time, and he felt a little emotional. He had never seen a general who cared so much about people's livelihood.

In the past, the most common thing that the generals who were sent out to fight in the past probably did was ask for rations, and they never considered logistics at all.

Anyway, those problems are solved by the court, they are only responsible for fighting the war.

As a result, it never occurred to him that Li Tan was not only responsible for fighting the war, but also worried about it, which was really not easy.

Unexpectedly, Ji He remembered Zou Shi's unfair words, and he suddenly felt a little unfair for Li Tan.

But the orthodoxy and the current thinking saw each other, and for a while he didn't know what to do.

Li Tan didn't notice Ji He's entanglement, so he waved his hand and said, "Since it's easy to use, let's promote it."

Ji He was much calmer than him, and asked after hearing this: "Your Highness, it is not difficult to promote these agricultural tools, is it difficult enough?"

In the past, the imperial court would often distribute some agricultural tools, but at that time, the Ministry of Industry would make some in advance and distribute them when needed.

Now Li Tan obviously just came up with it, and if he wants to promote it directly, where can he get so many farm tools?

Li Tan had already thought about this problem, and waved his hand most directly and said, "I'll hire someone to do it!"

Ji He smiled wryly: "Before, almost all the carpenters in Chang'an were recruited by you. How many people can there be? How many things can they make?"

After he said this, he felt that it was not good to keep pouring cold water on King Ning, so he said, "You can make as much as you can. It's also good to have more production if you have one more set."

According to the current situation, it seems that this is the only way to go, but Li Tan said with a mysterious smile: "Don't worry, I don't have to use carpenters, those people in Chang'an who are willing to work hard will have food to eat."

Ji He looked at him blankly, wondering why a carpenter was not needed to make agricultural tools, not only a carpenter but also a blacksmith was needed.

Of course blacksmiths are needed, but this is easier than carpentry.

Li Tan wanted to directly set up an assembly line for production, a group of people would make such a part, set a good standard, if it didn’t meet the standard, and pay wages on a piece basis, he didn’t believe that the efficiency could be low!

And if you do it separately, you don't have to worry about someone plagiarizing the drawings.

Of course, Li Tan doesn't care too much about the blueprints being figured out, and he doesn't want to rely on this to sell money to eat, but to pay for it instead. If someone can make a set according to the blueprints, and he doesn't need him to send it, wouldn't it be better?

It's just that what he was worried about was that if An Lushan got this blueprint, wouldn't he become an enemy?

It was the only way he could keep it secret.

Ji He and others didn't expect Li Tan to be able to do this at first, but when Li Tan's "factory" was fully started, they realized the benefits of doing so.

Zou Shi commented and said: "The things made in this way are more crafty."

After hearing this, Li Tan laughed and said, "I'm not asking them to make works of art, as long as they can be used."

Zou Shi didn't say anything. From a practical point of view, there is really no way to refute this.

However, their moods are very complicated. Your Highness, the army of An Lushan is coming. You are still here to study and cultivate the land. Are you really good?

Fortunately, after Li Tan ordered the promotion of farm tools, he really stopped caring about it and started collecting information on Anlu Mountain.

This time, Ji He and Zou Shi were really helpful. After all, they both knew that they would face An Lushan's army sooner or later.

So the two of them attached great importance to intelligence. Li Tan glanced at the documents they sent over, estimated the marching route of Anlu Mountain, and finally found that if he really wanted to attack Chang'an, it would be either An Qingxu leading the troops or An Qing Zong.

And An Qingxu's possibility is actually higher than that of An Qingzong.

Li Tan was puzzled: Why didn't An Lushan come by himself?

After all, this is a very important matter. You must know that the symbolic meaning of capturing Chang'an and occupying Chang'an is different.

The name of Anlu Mountain, which was proclaimed emperor in Luoyang, is not right. When it comes to Chang'an... Although everyone still doesn't recognize it, the Great Yan Kingdom will probably feel more at ease from top to bottom.

After Li Tan asked his question, Ji Hecai said: "The news I heard here seems to be that An Lushan suffers from eye disease, and it has become more and more serious, almost to the point where he can't see."

After hearing this, Li Tan remembered that, indeed, An Lushan had many diseases in history, so he had to rely on his servants to help him with everything.

It was really because of this that An Qingxu was able to bribe the servant to directly assassinate An Lushan.

But in history, An Lushan was sick ten years later. Now An Lushan should be in good health, why is he terminally ill?

Do you want to feel the inertia of history?

Li Tan put the matter aside and said, "We should still have time."

Ji He and Zou Shi looked at each other, not understanding why Li Tan said that.

Obviously, An Lushan must have occupied Chang'an before he became seriously ill.

Before Li Tan could speak, he hurried over there and said, "Your Majesty, An Qingzong sent a letter."

Li Tan was a little surprised: "His letter can still be sent in? Does he still have people in Chang'an?"

Crowd: ...

Majesty, is your focus not correct?

Li Tan's focus was indeed wrong, but he soon discovered this matter, and just said: "We still need to clean up Chang'an."

Then someone brought the letter up, and when the letter was delivered to the palace, it was cleared and someone checked it out, and then said: "The letter is not poisonous."

Everyone glanced at Qingkong appreciatively. When facing the rebels, they really couldn't be too careful.

Li Tan directly asked Qing Kong to express his belief.

An Qingzong's letter is quite polite, but the content is not particularly polite. His central idea is only one: You surrender quickly, and I can save your life, and even make you a state guest. If you just resist, don't blame him. We don't miss old love.

After hearing this, Li Tan sneered and said: "Old love? If they really miss the old love, they won't turn back! Burn it, surrender is impossible. If Chang'an can't hold it, I will die in the city."

Ji He and Zou Shi suddenly changed their faces, and said at the same time: "Your Highness, don't be arrogant!"

Ji He even said: "If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. Why is Your Highness so hard on you?"

Li Tan smiled and said: "I say that because I am sure. Okay, let's not talk about this, An Qingzong... probably won't be able to win in a short time."

Both Ji He and Zou Shi were a little puzzled, and they even wondered if Li Tan had done something wrong.

However, if Li Tan didn't talk about it, they naturally didn't ask.

But no matter how determined Li Tan said, he still started to dispatch troops and generals, and little by little, he arranged the whole Chang'an like an iron bucket.

To be honest, this is the first time that Li Tan has completely passively defended the city. In the past, even if he was defending the city, he had to do something and lead the team out to make a surprise attack.

He probably wouldn't do that this time, and this strange feeling made him a little uneasy.

Li Tan studied with his subordinates again and again for a long time, and after confirming that there was no problem, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that I don't dare to let go of this tone. The battlefield is changing rapidly, no matter how perfect the arrangements are, something may happen at that time.

At that time, this can only be adjusted accordingly, but at this time the people of Chang'an miraculously quieted down.

Li Tan originally thought that there must be some people leaving at this time, but unexpectedly, no one left.

Ji He said: "If they could leave, they would have left long ago. Why wait until now? At this point, they can only choose to trust His Highness."

Li Tan smiled: "Yes, you can only choose to trust me."

Zou Shi seemed a little worried: "Your Highness, in about four days, An Lushan's army is about to arrive. Who do you think will come?"

Li Tan thought for a while and said, "I said none of them will come within four days."

Ji He frowned, Zou Shi also frowned, but Li Tan refused to give them an answer, but said, "Okay, just wait and see. When did I lie to you?"

Ji He and Zou Shi really wanted to see if it was true as Li Tan said.

As a result, on the third day, the scouts sent out received news: An Qingzong's and An Qingxu's armies stopped at the same time.

Just when Zou Shi and Ji He were very surprised, another piece of news came: An Qingzong died suddenly, and An Qingxu was captured and returned to Luoyang by the people sent by An Lushan.
