4. Li Sheng lost his military power
"Yi Song and Chengwu said this, Benshan people were also worried. After the death of Han Jingong, the good situation in Tang Dynasty suddenly became bad. Why should Benshan people care about their reputation?" Li Mi was humble and did not fight for Han Qian when Han Qian was alive, and after Han Qian died, Li Mi decided to take responsibility for the rise and fall of the world.
Gao Yue immediately analyzed to Li Mi:
Now the emperor does not trust Li Sheng and Ma Sui, and he will inevitably seize the two military powers one after another. For this reason, Zhang Yanshang needs to be the prime minister.
There is another urgent matter, and the emperor has to compromise for the time being.
"Is what Yi Song said about the dispute between Huainan and Xu Si?" Li Mi sipped the tea gently.
Gao Yue said it was the truth. It turned out that after Han Huan died, a few days later, the news reached Xuanwu Army and Huainan. The Huainan Jiedu governor Du Ya immediately turned against him. Originally, Han Huanian suggested that Zhang Jian feudal Xuzhou and govern Xu Haosi and Si prefectures, and then returned Luzhou and Shouzhou to Huainan Jiedu. But now Du Ya not only got Lu, Shou, but also suddenly sent troops to seize Hao and Si territory, which made Zhang Jianfeng only an isolated Xuzhou.
Du Ya targeted Zhang Jianfeng like this only because Zhang Xiri stood in the Han Dynasty camp.
This is also a signal released by Zhang Yanshang. He wants to take this opportunity to seize the power of the central and local governments!
Speaking of this, Li Mi frowned his slender eyebrows, and his expression was a bit of a rare anger. He stood under the pine tree and shook his feather fan: "There were soldiers in Huainan town. As the commander of Jie, Du Ya did not think about Jing'an, but only wanted to fight for power and profit. Moreover, now Ziqing is also clamoring to take back Xuzhou. Zhang Jianfeng is in a dangerous situation, and Huaixi is located at the throat of the north-south transportation of the canal. If Guanghong is handled improperly, it will also threaten the lifeline of our Tang Dynasty."
At this time, Wei Gao made a statement: "According to what Gao saw, now we should be pacified to Huainan, Huainian, and Ziqing, and let them be the thieves who defended the family for a few years. The court should focus on guarding the northwest of Yingtian, and to suppress Dangxiang and rebelled against Fans, and the third step is to conquer Huainxi."
"Strike to Huaixi..." Li Mi pondered.
Therefore, things are extraordinary. The power of this town in Huaixi is actually not strong, and the three towns in Heshuo and the Lu army in Ziqingping looked down on it and rejected it. But once the court used troops to Huaixi, these rebellious towns would communicate with each other and fight together. Once the imperial court's grain transportation was cut off by them, it would be dangerous.
At this time, Gao Yue stood up and said that Huaixi must be conquered. Now it seems that Wu Shaocheng has colluded with Li Yuanping, and must have imprisoned or even killed the governor Chen Xianqi, who was originally loyal to the court. Now we can be appeased for the time being, but the Cai thief under Wu Shaocheng has always been rebellious and will rebel if he does not fight today and will rebel tomorrow. Appeasement is definitely not a long-term solution.
In addition, Gao Yue also sacrificed Du You's new canal plan: after pacifying Huaixi, a new canal canal canal canal canal from Juchao Lake to Yangzi River, and then set up a new town to guard it. In this way, the canal transportation will no longer be threatened by rebellious towns such as Wei Bo, Ziqing, etc., which is a one-time and for all.
After hearing this plan, Li Mi and Duan Xiushi both agreed.
So in Tongguan, looking at Fenglingdu, the vast river in the north, and the steep mountains in the south, these loyal ministers and righteous men who were willing to be brave for the Tang Dynasty once again formed an offensive and defensive alliance, and also expressed their willingness to follow the plan proposed by Wei Gao to "resist Xifan, then suppress Dangxiang, and pacify Huaixi three times. After these three steps are completed, you can drive to Hehuang for a long time."
But before this, the loyal ministers reached an agreement to help the Holy Lord, "firstly entrusting Zhang Yanshang and Ma Sui, and then making him lose his foot" and grasped the military power of the entire northwest, Shannan and Jiannan.
After autumn began, when Li Mi, Jia Dan, Gao Yue, Duan Xiushi, Wei Gao and others returned to the capital, the turmoil in the entire Daming Palace continued and was intensified.
The first person to suffer was Li Sheng. He was originally going to Fengxiang Mansion to take office as Marshal Longyou, but as soon as he arrived at Lingao Post, he heard the news of Guanghong's rebellion, and was shocked that he ran back quickly, but was turned away by the emperor.
Li Sheng was immediately worried and returned to the Ali Li in Yongchongfang, and was in panic all day long. Then he heard that the emperor asked the Jinwu Office to start recruiting people according to the list set up by Guanghong. He couldn't help but fall to the ground and cry, saying that Li Sheng's family had a population of 1,000, who could guarantee that no one was involved in it? The disaster of extermination came in an instant!
Sure enough, the emperor quickly sent a senior official to condemn Li Sheng for his poor discipline - your eldest son Li Yuan is on the list of the monster monks!
Li Sheng immediately tied up his son and wanted to send him to the Daming Palace.
Soon there were rumors in the market that Li Sheng, Yongchongfang's first-class Da'an Garden, was planted with bamboo, and Li Sheng was ambushing his troops inside, preparing to wait for an opportunity to rebel.
Of course Li Sheng knew that this was the momentum created by Zhang Yanshang. He was so scared that he cut off all the bamboos in Da'an Garden the next day to express his feelings.
But rumors spread again, saying that Li Sheng cut off all the bamboos, was he going to build bamboo guns, fly ladders, train children in the clan, or was he trying to attack the Daming Palace.
Now Li Sheng has no choice but to write a secret letter to Gao Yue for help.
After Gao Yue replied, Li Sheng submitted a letter to the emperor, saying that he was seriously ill and could not bear to be the Marshal of Longyou, and asked the court to replace him with Ma Sui.
This trick was indeed effective. The Ming Palace quickly replied: Li Sheng’s loyalty can be seen in the sun and the moon, and his son Li Yuan was not well-informed, so he was used by a traitor monk. He could add Li Sheng as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, and he would not ask about Li Yuan’s affairs.
Of course, the marriage between Li Sheng's daughter and Zhang Yanshang's son naturally fell out: Zhang Yanshang doesn't have to look at him directly now.
In Taiyuan Prefecture, Ma Sui was appointed as the Marshal of Longyou. He was so happy that he handed over the task of staying behind to General Li Ziliang. He immediately crossed Pujin and came to the capital.
In this way, Li Sheng was removed from his military power and could only stay in Yongchongfang Jiadi, looking at the window to retire.
But the unlucky one is not Li Sheng.
Just when Gao Yue arrived at Baqiao, the emperor's envoy knocked on the rich door of Cui Ning's house in Shengpingfang.
Cui Ning, Liu, and all his family stood in the courtyard.
The envoy directly pointed out the purpose: Cui Ning's son Cui Shu, Cui Xia, Cui Kuan's son, and Li Sheng's eldest son Li Yuan entered the Ministry of Personnel. During the period, the name also appeared in the signing of the demon monk!
"How is that possible?" Cui Ning was shocked and said that my house was attacked by the madmen while the monster monk was in chaos.
The envoy said that the attacked officials' houses were marked with charcoal ash, but there was no Cui's house in Shengpingfang. I guess those thieves were actually here to meet with Pushe?
After hearing this accusation, Cui Ning almost vomited blood, and the whole courtyard cried loudly, and everyone shouted that it was wronged!
The envoy said that regardless of the matter on that day, Cui Shu and Cui Xia, as a child of the Cui family in Shengpingfang, had an indisputable fact.
Cui Ning was so sad that he thought that these two kids had cheated on him in the end!
In fact, it was Cui Shu. Cui Xia was playing in Pingkangfang and came into contact with the Saburo Taishan. At that time, the prostitute suggested that they welcome them back to the house for worship, which would ensure a clear official career. The two young men were eager to show off before they had sex. Not only did they take over the statue of the gods, but they also boasted about their own stories. So in order to strengthen their momentum, the party members of Guanghong wrote the two in the signing statement - among which Cui Shu was the "Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel" and Cui Xia was the "Censor General of the Censor".
