In the spring of the third year of Jianzhong, Li Weiyue's head, together with Liang Chongyi's, was sent to the capital.

After the autumn rain stopped last year, Liang Chongyi's true form was revealed and he failed to survive for three months under Li Xilie's Huaining Army and Cao Wanggao's army: Xiangyang City was broken, Liang Chongyi and his wife and children all jumped into the water to commit suicide, and their bodies were fished out and beheaded.

"Hurry, send Li Cheng to serve as the governor of Shandong East Road and ask Li Xilie to give up Xiangyang City." At the meeting of prime ministers in Zichen Palace, Emperor Li Shi added his forehead with his hands and loudly praised the ancestors of the clans to protect him, while busy arranging a new candidate for the commander of Shandong East Road and the generals.

Li Cheng is now the Honourable Emperor of Hezhong and has served as the commissioner of Huaixi. After returning to the court, he reminded the emperor that Li Xilie is extremely ambitious and His Majesty must be wary of it.

In fact, Yang Yan had said such words earlier, but the emperor's treatment was: he killed Yang Yan, but asked Li Cheng to curb Li Xilie.

But now the emperor is hesitating about this question:

If he wanted Li Xilie to withdraw from Xiangyang City, it would be equivalent to violating the "response" policy of Daizong's tacitly acquiesced by the State Council. Li Xilie would be angry, and this also made the court look a bit thief. So in case, the emperor wanted an imperial guard to escort Li Cheng to take office.

I had thought of any imperial guards, "Let Liu Dexin, the general stationed in Guozhou, go, there are three thousand soldiers and horses in his camp."

"Your Majesty is wise." Guan Bo, the Minister of the Secretariat, and Lu Qi, the Minister of the Secretariat, flattered the emperor in unison.

Li Xilie had a secret relationship with Lu Qi, so Lu Qi suggested that he should prepare for both ways and let the imperial guards bring 300,000 jin of money to reward the Huaining Army. In this way, Li Xilie received the reward and did not dare to rebel against the court again, so that he could return to the town as soon as possible.

At this time, the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor Yan Zhenqing walked out and advised: "Your Majesty, if Li Xilie is willing to hand over Xiangyang City, then Li Cheng can go alone; if Li Xilie doesn't want to, what can Liu Dexin do to do? I think that Li Cheng can first ask Li Cheng to recruit orders. If Li Xilie dares to disobey orders, Your Majesty can work with the imperial guards of Hua, Guozhou and Shaanxi Province, and work with Liu Dexin to oppress Li Xilie and let him submit."

"Li Xilie is a loyal minister. The Grand Tutor is so distrusted. Wouldn't he force the Huaining Army to rebel?" Lu Qi firmly disagreed.

Yan Zhenqing snorted coldly and did not answer Lu Qi's question, which made Lu Qi so angry that he secretly became ruthless.

Yan Lu Gong's words made the emperor worried again, so he really had to think about a complete solution.

At this moment, the Minister of the Secretariat Zhang Yi and the Censor Yan Ying proposed: "Your Majesty, Li Xilie's Huaixi Town Zhongkui is the three prefectures of Shen, Guang and Cai (now Xinyang, Henan, Huangchuan, and Runan), which is very close to the Eastern Capital and Bian and Song dynasties. It is necessary to guard against it. The important part of the gateway between the middle is Ruzhou. Your Majesty must send capable people to the governor of Ruzhou, repair the city defense, and recruit soldiers from Qizhou to prepare for Li Xilie's attack."

The emperor nodded, thinking that the principle of having both hands is correct, so he asked who is competent for Ruzhou Governor?

After thinking about it, Lu Qi suggested to the emperor that he would like to promote his wise man: Gao Yue can be the master of Ruzhou.

The emperor quickly rejected: "Gao Yue is now in Fengtianying City, so he is seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence, so he doesn't have to worry about it (it's right away or not, I have to find him to settle the score). Moreover, Gao Yue is still the only one who is in charge of Yuanzhou and cannot go to Ruzhou."

At this time, before Zhang Yi and Yan Ying spoke, the Minister of the Secretariat Guan Bo couldn't wait to stand up and said, "I have a friend who likes to read military books and has tens of millions of soldiers in my heart, which is worthy of the governor of Ruzhou."

The emperor asked who it was.

Guan Bo said that this person was a child of my Tang Dynasty family, named Li Yuanping, and was originally the judge of Hunan Observation Envoy.

It turned out that the Hunan Observer Xin Jinggao was harsh in power and forced his army general Wang Guoliang to rebel. The king incited the Xiyuan barbarian riot at the junction of Hunan and Guizhou. The court sent Guan Bo to slaughter, and Wang Guoliang surrendered. During this process, Guan Bo met Li Yuanping and fell in love with him. At first sight, he hurriedly recommended him to the emperor.

The emperor said that since Guanzhonglang recommended this lord, this lord must have outstanding features, so he can be the governor of Ruzhou.

In addition, when talking about the handling of Chengde Army, the emperor praised Zhang Xiaozhong for any reason, calling him the most important contribution to the determination and wanted to grant the honor to Zhang Xiaozhong.

"Your Majesty is wise." Lu Qi and Guan Bo praised in unison.

Who would have thought that Yan Zhenqing, Zhang Yi and Yan Ying did not agree, "Your Majesty, Wang Wujun is now in Hengji Military Palace. Your Majesty can first pass the flag to Wang Wujun, Zhang Xiaozhong is the commander of Yi and Ding Erzhou, Kang Rizhi is the commander of Zhao and Shentuan. In this way, Chengde's old army will be able to calm down. As for Zhu Tao, the subordinate of Lulong, he can give him the official position of Qicang and Jing Erzhou."

"Li Weiyue died and his title was destroyed. Wang Wujun dared to ask for good fortune? If my decree cannot be carried out in Hengji, what is the significance of this battle?" The emperor was very displeased.

Yan Zhenqing said that Wang Wujun was a Khitan tribe (Zhang Xiaozhong was the Xi tribe, Kang Rizhi was a native of Kang, and now from Samarkand). He was impermanent by nature and liked to repeat it the most. Your Majesty could stabilize him first, and then slowly reduce the virtues of the world.

But the emperor was very persistent in his ideas. He believed that if he didn't give the governor to Zhang Xiaozhong, it would be a shame to the hearts of the chief heroes anyway, and he showed that I could not clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments.

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true!" Lu Qi and Guan Bo agreed.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Tao sent envoys to the court before, hoping to capture Shenzhou (now Hengshui area in Hebei)." Yan Ying reminded at this time.

"No, I have already promised Kang to know a lot, and I can change the two states of Cangjing."

Yan Ying said that Shenzhou produces a lot of silk cloth, and Zhu Tao is bound to win, hoping to use this state to expand Youzhou's wealth. He also asked His Majesty to be a little reluctant to meet Zhu Tao's request. As long as Zhu Tao and Wang Wujun are settled, they can concentrate their efforts to destroy Wei Bo's rebellion first, so that the world will be settled.

The emperor turned his attention to Lu Qi at this moment, meaning you can see how to do it.

Lu Qi understood it, so he scolded Yan Ying and said, "With Zhang Xiaozhong and Kang Rizhi, Zhu Tao and Wang Wujun can make any waves, and they are all tolerant as you do. Then, the government has spent millions of dollars on money since the war started, which is equivalent to throwing into the water?"

The emperor nodded and said that Lumenlang's words were justified.

Yan Zhenqing, Zhang Yi, Yan Ying and others sighed and retreated with regret.

Lu Qi followed behind, staring at the three of them with damp eyes, thinking that he had not yet reached the point of being arbitrary.

Now that Yang Yan has been eliminated, Liu Yan is the governor of Guiguan again, you three have lost their original meaning of use in the court.

Guan Bo felt very happy heartlessly (the emperor agreed to my recommendation). After returning to the Political Affairs Hall, he asked someone to fly to the hall to ask the judge of Hunan Observation Li Yuanping to go north immediately and go to Ruzhou as the governor.

The speed of the hall was flying on the post road was amazing. A few days later, in the mansion of the Tanzhou Observer, Li Yuanping danced happily after receiving the document. He was less than five feet tall and hurried to the government office to meet Cui Kuan, the new observation envoy who was sitting in the yamen, and made a request:

"Weizhou Guanwuyuan (Bo) is now a minister in the court and a friend of mine in the past. Now my days of success have come. The governor of Ruzhou is only the first rank. From then on, the three dukes and nine ministers are not rare. Please observe the gift of Mingzhu to Xiaoke as his wife."

When Cui Kuan heard this, he was shocked.
