16. Great loyal minister of the Tang family

First, after King Yong occupied Jiangling, he recruited tens of thousands of troops to go down the Yangtze River and seized territory everywhere in the name of "Eastern Tour".

Of course, Emperor Suzong could not bear it. He asked Di Wuqi to be a entourage envoy and a salt and iron envoy to compete with King Yong for the wealth of the southeast in the southeast. This was the lifeblood of his life. It was more terrifying to fall into the hands of his younger brother than to fall into the hands of the Anshi rebels. In addition, in military terms, Suzong specially established three square towns in Huaixi, Huainan and Jiangdong. Since Jin, Gao Shi and Wei Zhi have appointed him to encircle and block King Yong. At that time, King Yong was advancing towards the most abundant Guangling in the world, Yangzhou (Yangzhou is a good place, with a kingly aura!), but eventually he was defeated due to the deviation of his subordinates.

Although King Feng Li Gong was also appointed as the governor of the town by his father, he did not actually leave the house like King Yong. However, during the Guangde period, Xifan captured Chang'an, Emperor Daizong fled Shanzhou, and the general Wang Huaizhong in Chang'an City robbed the kings of the ten kings' houses and ran westward. King Feng was also among them. Why? Go to join Xifan. On the way, Wang Huaizhong wanted to support King Feng Li Gong. As a result, he met Guo Ziyi who was preparing to rescue the horse. Wang Huaizhong intercepted him and shouted to Guo: "The emperor is moving east now, and he doesn't know how to live or die. The country cannot be without a king for a day. It is better to be a marshal, you should worship King Feng as the new lord."

The King Feng was probably raised in the house of the Ten Kings and forgot that he was just a puppet in Wang Huaizhong's hands. Before Guo Ziyi could answer, he shouted to him: "What do you think, Guo Linggong, what are you thinking? Why don't you say?" He looked like he was hurrying to ascend the throne.

Guo Ziyi's idea was very simple: he asked his subordinates to "protect" King Feng and sent it to the residence of Daizong in Shaanxi.

Later, Emperor Daizong immediately gave his "Uncle Gong Twenty-sixth" to death.

So Zhu Li reminded Gao Yue not to forget the lessons of King Yong and King Feng. The father and son of the Li family are just like my brothers. How can there be filial piety, love, respect and kindness? If you ask King Shu to really leave Jingyuan, will you step on the emperor's taboo minefield?

"How come I don't know? My grandfather Bohai Duke (Gao Shi) was the first Huainan Jiedushi. He could be in charge of such a royal place in Yangzhou. Isn't it the result of the rebellion of King Yong!" Gao Yue thought so, but he was confident and told Zhu Li that he was right. "For example, today, Liang Chongyi, Li Zhengji, Li Baochen, Tian Yue, etc., all have their own troops and are not convinced by the court. How can we build a country like the Zhenxia Duke? Whether your Majesty is visiting Empress Dowager Shen or adopting King Shu (King Shu was originally the son of Li Shi's dead brother), they all want to revitalize the prestige of the Li Tang royal family. This is a good thing! The reason why the emperor appointed King Shu as the governor of Jingyuan was that he had such a mind. How could we be a minister not observe the holy heart?"

However, I, Gao Yue, had never said that it was impossible for memorial to be submitted by myself. Therefore, Zhu Suining, you have to draft this memorial by yourself.

Because the current Jiedushi has the power to elect the next post.

Zhu Li hesitated, although he was a little moved, but he was not very brave.

Wei Gao next to him made a suggestion: "Since the marching Sima Cai Tingyu is loyal to the court, you might as well let him write this memorial."

If King Shu really came to Jingyuan, Gao Yue volunteered, "I will assist and entertain His Highness Shu, with fresh clothes and angry horses, flying eagles and dogs, hunting and entertainment, and ensure that King Shu will not miss the capital. In this way, there is a senior high school in Fengxiang Mansion, and Wei San is there, just like the eyes and wrists of the festival, it is not the same as having Jingyuan at the same time?"

Of course, Gao Yue's implicit conditions are:

In exchange, Zhu Li, please don’t talk too much about the slaughter of the pheasant Qiang in Qingzhou, and you should submit a memorial to cover up the situation.

Then the three of them were inexplicably moved, "Senior High School, Wei San, this kind of friendship, no matter where you are in the end of the world in the future, you must not forget it, nor must you bear it!" Zhu Li's eyes were filled with tears, and he picked up the wine cup - a cup to Wei Chengwu, and a cup to Gao Yisong.

"Don't do this by Zhu Lang. From now on, we will be the commander of the Jie and the assistants, and we will be brothers in private." Gao Yue and Wei Gao also immediately expressed their opinion.

Zhu Li felt at ease:

Wei Gao was desperate before, and I asked him to work in Fengxiang Military Mansion to develop.

Gao Yue, I have a friendship with him, Taishan Cui Ning, and I am not bad now.

They will be prosperous in the future and will not forget my kindness.

As for that boy Zhu Tao, he can't be considered my brother at all, so he has to settle the score with him sooner or later.

However, soon, in Baitongfang and Wei Gao's houses on the outskirts of Fengxiang Prefecture, Gao Yue and Wei Gao discussed the definition of "loyal minister" at night.

"Heshuo is going to be in chaos!" Wei Gao noticed keenly.

Everyone knows the condition of Li Baochen, the governor of Chengde Army, and Gao Yue also understands that the soldiers who are guarding autumn this year are moving back one after another, as if they are preparing to deal with the possible crisis in Kanto at any time.

"It's not just Heshuo, Ziqing, Huaixi, and Shannan East Road, which are all involved. Liang Chongyi from Shannan may be the first attacker, and then all Fangzhen towns will be involved."

"Then Zhu Li?" Wei Gao asked.

"When Li Baochen died, how could Zhu Tao, the governor of Youzhou, not get involved, and how could Zhu Li be spared?" Gao Yue frowned and held his chin with his hands. "I have written a story about this group of Fangzhen. On weekdays, it is a mess, but once the court cuts its vassals, it will definitely be connected in series. Your Majesty is too hasty..."

But as soon as he said "too hurry", Gao Yue realized that the historical process is linked.

He saved Liu Yan under Yang Yan's mouth, but the price was that Lu Qi would rise to the throne more quickly, and Lu Qi would definitely fall into Yang Yan's position.

Once Yang Yan overturned, Li Xilie, who colluded with Lu Qi, would immediately receive an edict to attack Liang Chongyi from the east of Shannan Road.

It is difficult for him to change this kind of process now, so he can only follow the trend.

"Is Zhu Li a loyal minister?"

Faced with Gao Yue's questions, Wei Gao shook his head and denied it.

"Then are we loyal ministers to the Tang family?"

Wei Gao nodded, meaning that we are of course the most loyal ministers.

"However, loyal ministers have no power, and they are just bells and chimes in the palace, which are just empty sounds. Therefore, as the most loyal loyal minister, you cannot say verbally. That is no different from the phoenix in Tong. Only by relying on treacherous ministers and rebellious ministers and growing into a loyal minister with power and soldiers is the real kingdom! Things in the world are really weird."

But although Gao Yue's words were difficult to speak, Wei Gao could fully understand them. "Yi Song said, as a loyal minister, if the sage lord does not know his loyalty, he will be as decayed as the plants and trees, wouldn't it hurt?"

So Gao Yue began to doubt in his heart that those who can be with him seem to be treacherous or powerful officials.

Then the two planned to help Zhu Li consolidate his power first, take the opportunity to exclude Cai Tingyu and Zhu Tiwei, and occupy more and more capital. Then, they took the opportunity to act and decided to become the "number one loyal minister" of the Tang Dynasty.
Chapter completed!
