6. Killing Liu Dexin without authorization

Then Gao Yue saw that Han Huan was sending his brother Han Hui.

Ma Sui's agent is his brother Ma Xuan.

Cui Ning sent his youngest son Cui Li.

Li Baozhen sent him aide and general Jia Lin.

Li Mian sent the secretary Yuan Gao.

The governors of other places also sent representatives for discussion, and all the gifts they brought to the emperor's journey - all kinds of gold, silver and treasures, were ordered by Li Shi to pile them in the corridor under the bell tower, and were registered in the book by eunuch Ma Chengqian.

"Chen Shaoyou, the governor of Huainan, has any assistant ministers come here?" The emperor asked the envoys around him to ask this twice.

But no one answered in the hall.

Li Shi smiled coldly.

"Does Liu Yan, the salt and iron transport envoy of the four states of Yang, Li, Shang and Jin have any subordinates here?"

No one answered in the hall.

The emperor was owing his body and was about to spread the title of Xifan envoy Qu Jiazan ascended to the hall, but a famous official came from outside and claimed to be Li Sheng's envoy.

This envoy was Li Sheng's son-in-law Zhang Yu. After paying homage to the emperor, he presented an additional form and claimed to be a death sentence.

Li Sheng first congratulated the emperor, saying that after he arrived in Tongguan, the rebels abandoned the two states of Tonghua and began to retract back to Chang'an. In addition, the four thieves Li Huaiguang, Li Xilie, Li Zhongchen and Zhu Li seemed to have begun to have internal conflicts. Zhu Li occupied the imperial city, palace city and Daming Palace in Chang'an, and set up access controls to prevent Li Huaiguang from entering. Li Huaiguang was furious and stationed troops in Chengyang and strangled Pujin Ferry, as if preparing to return to the river; while Li Xilie returned to the old city of Xianyang, but did not enter Chang'an City, but occupied Xiwei Bridge and rushed south to grab martial arts. Zhouzhi and other counties seemed to be on both ends of the rat. Chen Sheng had already led the gods to camp and arrived at the Dongwei Bridge.

After hearing this, the emperor smiled with relief.

When Li Sheng's subsequent content of this stamp was announced in the lobby, all the ministers, including the emperor, were shocked.

In his letter, Li Sheng accused Liu Dexin, the Shen Ce military commander who was originally in charge of the camps, for his army was undisciplined, so he killed him and brought him the baggage!

"What are Liu Dexin's sins?" The emperor couldn't believe this.

Originally, Shang Kegu, Luo Yuanguang and other god-strate generals, Liu Dexin, the commander of the Duji camp, was recommended by Liu Dexin.

As a result, after Li Sheng led the Shence Heshuo camp, the first thing he did was to kill Liu Dexin.

Why is this?

Zhang Yu announced Liu Dexin’s four major crimes to the emperor and in front of the ministers in the hall:

Most of the children in the Shen Ce camp led by Liu Dexin were in the market, and had no military discipline and often plundered the ruins along the way. This is one of them;

When Liu Dexin led his troops to Shayuan, he stole five hundred national horses from the herdsmen here during the Dali period. This is the second one;

Before, Liu Dexin fought with the rebels and was defeated many times, which is the third one;

Previously, when Liu Dexin came to meet Li Sheng, he was not well polite and arrogant, which was the fourth.

After hearing these four reasons, the ministers looked at each other.

Before going to the war, Li Sheng and Liu Dexin were both envoys of military commanders, and they were all held by the imperial chief of the Censor, so they should be on par. What etiquette should Liu Dexin prepare when he came to see Li Sheng? Furthermore, Liu Dexin took the horses from Shayuan to enhance the combat effectiveness of the team. There was no news of the defeat before, but instead fought from Tongguan to the vicinity of Weishui Bridge. This...

Just as Yan Zhenqing was about to speak, the emperor spoke casually:

"The Master said, why do you have the body? You are just respectful, loyal and trustworthy. If you respect, you will be far away from troubles. If you respect, you will be loved by others. If you are loyal, you will be in line with others. If you believe, you will be believed by others. Liu Dexin violated the commandments of his ancestors and should not be deeply blamed by the prince of Hechuan."

"The Holy Lord is wise!" Zhang Yu hurriedly leaned down and shouted thank you.

Then without saying a word, the emperor appointed Li Shengjian and the Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works and the governor of the Shence Xingying in the capital of Kanto. After that, the wealth and taxes of Jianghuai in the southeast were divided into 40% along the canal to Dongwei Bridge, which was fully handled by Li Sheng.

After such a satisfactory treatment, Zhang Yu got up and joined the ranks and sat side by side with the envoys of the other military governors.

"Warriors are domineering, how can they be loyal and rebellious?" Among the people, only Zheng Zi whispered in a low voice.

Gao Yue and Wei Gao were always calm.

At this time, the emperor signaled that the middle envoy on the stairs summoned:

The Xifan minister Qu Jiazan, who had been waiting in Fengtiancheng Inn, wore a narrow-sleeved dress and entered the hall with Cui Hanheng and Weilun, and then worshiped and danced to the Emperor of the Tang family.

Gao Yue saw that on Qu Jiazan's arm was a silver ornament of gold. This kind of thing was similar to the Tang Dynasty's confession, representing the rank of this rank located in the Xifan Empire. With Se Se, gold is the second, and silver ornament of gold is the second.

Qu Jizan's Chinese is quite fluent. He announced Zamp's conditions in front of you:

I hope to establish an alliance with the Tang family and engrave monuments to divide the boundaries;

After the alliance was established, the great remarks made a praise for the 20,000 elite troops who were willing to leave Helongdi to help the Tang family quell the rebellion;

Since then, the Tang and Tibet never started a war and formed an alliance.

"You are the one who can talk about this." The emperor asked the ministers to discuss.

As Li Shi expected, there was indeed a fierce dispute in the lobby.

Hanlin scholar Jiang Gongfu, and Lu Zhi was in charge of borrowing troops. Lu Zhi said that the Uighurs and Heshuo are now ambiguous and should not be led into the capital, while Western Fan is different. Not only can the Western Fan soldiers recover Chang'an, but they can also help Xiapinghezhong, Wuguandao and other places.

In addition, Lu Zhi asked the emperor to issue an edict to appease Heshuo and Ziqing and other towns, pardon them, and let them be peaceful again.

Wu Tongxuan and Wu Tongwei, who are also Hanlin scholars, strongly opposed borrowing troops, saying that the words of Xifan were not acceptable. Your Majesty could gather all directions to support the royal army and financial resources in Fengtian City and recover the capital by himself.

Among them, Duke of the Bruce is the silent clan.

It was soon argued from the Hanlin Bachelor's School and extended to the ministers who followed him.

Fan Ze and Liu Congyi agreed to borrow troops.

Xiao Fu and Yan Zhenqing strongly opposed borrowing troops.

Xiao Xin is a silent school among them.

So the emperor, who was difficult to maintain a balance, asked the envoys of the governor to "vote" (they all brought the attitudes of towns and camps):

Li Sheng said he could borrow troops;

Zhang Yanshang said that he could borrow troops;

Ma Sui said he could borrow troops;

Wu Mian, the governor of Dongchuan, said yes, and Jia Dan, the governor of Shannan West Road, also said yes.

Cui Ning of Lingwu, Li Mian of Central Plains, and Li Baozhen of Zelu, had a neutral attitude and expressed that everything was followed by the court.

Only Han Huan submitted a fierce stamp, saying that he would never borrow troops from Xifan;

From this point of view, Han Huan is a minority.

In fact, the previous discussions were all nonsense and procedures, and the key was the idea of ​​local powerful factions. Since most of the Jiedu governors agreed to borrow troops from Xifan, Li Shi could not find any reason to object. He himself wanted to quell the rebellion earlier in order to return to the capital, so he spoke up to make a conclusion.

Who would have thought that Xiao Xin would speak again at this time: "Your Majesty can wait a moment, Jingyuan, Fengxiang Duan Chenggong, the four states' transshipment envoy Liu Shi'an, Suzhou Governor Du Junqing, and Hangzhou Governor Li Shaoyuan have not made any statement yet."

"Do you have to wait?" The emperor was a little unhappy. I had already interpreted all kinds of things with Jiang Gongfu, and Lu Zhi day and night. It would be great to make a decision earlier, so why bother delaying it!

At this time, Gao Yue suddenly stood up, then held the tablet in his hand, and after becoming a regular officer, he said to the emperor: "The chief minister of the Southern Provincial Department of Personnel, has a discussion!"
