Soon, in Zichen's palace, Emperor Li Shi slowly paced back and forth. After receiving secret reports from all parties, he became more thorough in the whole situation and became more confident in his heart.

"Emperor Daizong once said that all three ranks in the court were thieves, all thieves..." Li Shi repeatedly recited what his father had said. When he was the crown prince at first, he was still confused about this sentence, but now he believes it without doubt.

But Li Shi was not ready to make it clear that he wanted to take action and control the entire situation.

Sure enough, three days later, Zhang Yanshang, the assistant minister of the disciple, and Yin Zhizhen, the Privy Councilor of the Jinwu Division, reported directly to the emperor in Xiaoyanying's Hall:

"Princess Yanguang lives widowed in Shengyefang's house, but there is a filthy sound outside."

The emperor was very surprised and asked Zhang Yanshang: "Yanguang is old, how could there be any filthy sound? Don't talk nonsense!"

Zhang Yanshang obviously came prepared and handed over the silk cloth calmly. After the emperor opened it, he saw a long list of people inside, which were naturally reported by Zhang Yanshang and had an affair with Princess Yanguang.

The emperor's hands trembled. The list included the descendants of Fang Zhenjieshang, the descendants of Sima, other royal family members, and the Crown Prince Zhan Shi, and Xiao Ding, the Minister of the Secretariat Xiao Fu.

"Debauchery, shameless!" The emperor could no longer bear it, and roared, wishing to tear the silk to pieces - what should Princess Yanguang do this? What the emperor could not bear was that if Yanguang wanted to fill his desire, he could just find some young and strong people to quell the fire. He would definitely turn a blind eye, but the person who Yanguang handed over really made him feel uneasy and fearful.

When he saw the emperor getting angry, Zhang Yanshang took the opportunity to make a statement that the son of Jinwu Department had discovered that Han Qinxu, the son of the Bining Jiedushi Han Yougui, had joined the residence of the Secretariat Xiao Fu, and conspired with his clan's younger brother, the prince Zhan Shishi Xiao Ding.

In this way, Zhang Yanshang easily brought Prime Minister Xiao Fu in.

Yin Zhizhen, the Privy Councilor of the Jinwu Division, also made a statement that Princess Yanguang took a carriage to Shaoyang Courtyard many times while mourning for Empress Zhaode, and regarded the palace as if nothing had happened.

"You mean that Princess Yanguang's various things have a lot to do with the prince?" The emperor's tone suddenly rose a few degrees.

"I dare not speculate!" Zhang Yanshang and Yin Zhizhen immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"This matter has a great relationship. If there is any difference between it and the truth, no one can bear this responsibility." The emperor asked for clear evidence.

"I am just reporting what I see and gain in time. If Your Majesty is interested, I am willing to inquire carefully and fight to the death to prevent disaster from afloating your majesty's elbows." Zhang Yanshang quickly requested.

The emperor nodded, turned his head and whispered to the two of you, saying that this matter should not be spoken out, and wait for the change.

Then the emperor paused and ordered: "Immediately dismiss the position of Xiong Fuqi Town Xuanwei Ambassador, and Xuan recalled him to the court."

When Zhang Yanshang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and asked the emperor for instructions. If Xiao Fu returned to the court, who would take charge of the military affairs of the seven towns in Bining, Weibei, Lingwu, Xia Suiyin, Zhenwu, Hedong and Hezhong?

"You are recommended to be promoted." The emperor asked him directly.

How smart Zhang Yanshang was? Of course he would not recommend it casually. He knew who the emperor trusted the most, so he suggested that "Shizhong, the governor of Hezhong, Hun Yu, the governor of Hezhong, be promoted to the country, and be added to the 'Xifan, Dangxiang Zhaozhaoxingxingxingying Headquarters', and replace Xiao Fu to continue to fight."

"Okay, I understand." The emperor remained silent.

After Zhang Yanshang and Yin Zhizhen retreated, the emperor held his hands behind his back and still stood in front of the plain screen in the palace. Soon, a middle-aged official quietly turned out, holding several secret letters in his hand, and said to the emperor:

"The letter has been sent by Gregor General Shi."

The emperor silently took the secret letter from Ji Governor Shi Luqi, then read the episode carefully, and sighed happily. What should he do now is as clear as the fire.

Soon, Huo Zhongtang, the commander of the Inner Cutle, led a group of Daying, the inner court officials of the Inner Cutle, the inner court orders, the palace orders and the chief ministers, etc., to stand in front of the emperor.

"Immediately from the second inner warehouse of Daying Qionglin, I paid 150,000 stag, 100,000 pieces of silk, plus 3,000 taels of gold and silver, and allocated 100,000 stones of reserved grain from the capital and the staked warehouse, and escorted it to Pingliang by Huo Zhongtang to use the cost of building a city in Pingliang. In addition, the excess was ordered to build a city in the old city of Baicaoyu in Xiaoguan and repair the sand castle. Once these three places were restored, they would never be discarded. After the war ended, the Shence Jingxi Grand Camp will each send 3,000 Shence troops to garrison Baicao, destroy sand castle, and send another five,000 Shence troops to garrison Pingliang."

Huo Zhongtang immediately received the order. When he was about to resign, the emperor called him and told him softly: "Zhang Yanshang recommended the Hezhong Jiedushi Hun Yu to replace Xiao Fu, and I have the same intention. However, Ma Sui is the most arrogant among the seven towns. I am afraid that Ma Sui will not accept my arrangements, so I want to arrange people to inform me."

"Ju Wenzhen can bear this position." Huo Zhongtang suggested.

The emperor nodded and said that I asked the servants of the school, Kong Chaofu, to go with him.

At this time, Zhang Yanshang's house was also in full swing. He called his son Zhang Hongjing and said, "I am in front of His Majesty today. I recommend Hun Yu as the Xifan for justice. Dangxiang Zhao will challenge the commander of the Xingying camp, and the general commander of the seven towns of troops and military affairs. Ma Sui is also among them. I am afraid that Ma Sui will not be convinced, so I hope you will help me to compile another letter and tell Ma Sui that he will not harm the overall situation with small profits."

Zhang Hongjing immediately learned that when the imperial army suppressed the Heshuo rebellion, Ma Sui and Li Baozhen, Li Sheng and Li Huaiguang had conflicts, and they broke up each other, making a mess of the good situation. Although this man was brave and good at fighting, his ability was really limited.

"Since my father has formed an alliance with Ma Sui, he should try every means to make contributions to Ma Sui. Otherwise, if he angers Ma Sui, the situation may not be curbed."

Zhang Yanshang didn't understand his son's advice, but after thinking about it, he said to Hongjing that the one who gave the hunchback was His Majesty and not me. If Ma Sui wanted to hate him, he would hate His Majesty. This would be fine. We pretended to be deaf and dumb, and we should not write a letter to Ma Sui, so we simply did not explain.

Anyway, just take down Xiao Fu and Princess Yanguang.

While the capital was undercurrents, the "Xiaoguan-Mingsha" sweeping war planned by Gao Yue had reached a bloody climax in early spring.

After seizing Xiaoguan, destroying sand castles and half of Yuanzhou territory, Duan Xiushi, Liu Haibin and Xing Junya did not take back the cavalry that had been given to Gao Yue in advance, but instead strengthened the infantry of the Baicao Army and the crossbowmen of the earthen regiment to Gao Yue.

So Gao Yue, who was in charge of Xiaoguan barrier, summoned many military generals under his command, including Wang Qi, Zhao Guangxian, Cai Fengyuan and Guo Zaizhen, to plan this plan.

The core of this plan is very simple: continue to use cavalry as the main force, and attack all the "Nanshan Dangxiang" from Xiaoguan to Mingsha.
