Unfolded the report, and sure enough, it was the news about Yongwang Li Lan, but the content made Gao Lishi quite shocked. Li Lan had actually raised troops from Jiangling to the south to reach Guangling, and had already received the help of the vast majority of Jianghuai generals, and gradually became a trend. He was secretly speechless, he couldn't imagine that the thin prince with a defective body back then had such courage and means, and he really underestimated this person before.

Colliers is not a fool, although he pretends to be confused on the surface of many things, but he knows it very well in his heart.

At the beginning, Li Longji escaped from Chang'an, and after arriving in Chengdu, he sent his sons to various places to lead troops, in order to prevent the Li family from being cut off, no matter which son can succeed, this country is still surnamed Li after all. However, when the news of the crown prince Li Heng establishing himself as emperor reached Chengdu, Li Longji still insisted on the previous edict of dividing the princes into vassals, and his intention was intriguing.

According to common sense, whenever the society is in danger of collapse, the Son of Heaven should try his best to support the crown prince as the prince, and should do his best to clear all obstacles for it, which is also the last thing an old emperor who has almost lost the whole world should do. It's a pity that the Emperor Taishang didn't do this, and he didn't even think about paving the way for the prince, of course, there was Ma Weiyi's resentment of the mutiny, and the more fundamental reason was that he never trusted this sister-in-law, and all he had in his heart was vigilance and jealousy. This is especially true after arriving in Chengdu.

Emperor Taishang has been good at balancing the art of phase control all his life, with this method, he can control the court situation steadily, no powerful minister or even the clan dares to rebel, if it is not out of An Lushan, I am afraid that the prince is still the trembling little sheep!

But now, once he becomes the emperor, he will justifiably fight against the Emperor Taishang.

Gao Lishi peeked at the Emperor Taishang, originally his beard was gray and white, but now he wants to find a few black hairs, but it is extremely difficult, and he can't help but feel a burst of pity in his heart.

In the final analysis, the Emperor Taishang sealed Li Ling to Jiangling, he placed high hopes on him, and later awarded him the governor of Guangling, as well as the envoy of the four festivals in Jiangnan, and hoped that he could base himself on the territory and respect himself, and he could raise troops from Jiangnan to quell the chaos, and finally achieve the clamp on Li Heng, who was getting bigger and bigger.

Think about the bleak evening scene of Emperor Ruizong, Gao Lishi has also seen it with his own eyes, he was imprisoned by his own son who seized power and died of depression, Emperor Taishang refused to let go of power easily, he naturally knew the reason.

In other words, the more Li Xuan sat in Jiangnan, the more Li Heng did not dare to make further moves against the Emperor, and even took the initiative to compromise with him in exchange for the Emperor's support.

This kind of checks and balances has been seen too many times by Colliers, and he can see it clearly even with his eyes closed.

"Congratulations to the Emperor, King Yong lives up to expectations!"

A wry smile flashed in Li Longji's eyes. Once upon a time, why did he have to be so jealous of that sheep-like son? Now that he has been robbed of the throne, he has to do everything he can to restrain it, and when the real world changes with time, many facts are difficult to predict.

However, this is one of the many bad news, and the stronger Li Lan grows, the safer he is.

"Since King Yong has gradually become a trend in Jiangnan, why don't you go faster, presumably the emperor is also anxious to share this good news with Emperor Taishang, and then the imperial court can fight An Lushan traitors from Guanzhong and Jiangnan!"

Li Longji smiled, laughing a little naughty, he knew very well that Li Heng must have been on pins and needles after learning the news of Li Ling's success.

However, now is not the time to speed up his return to Chang'an, he has to wait, Li Heng will definitely not let Li Xuan sit big in Jiangnan, and will inevitably send people to kill him, just waiting for Li Heng to hit a wall in Jiangnan, or even defeated, is the best time for him to return to Chang'an.

Colliers thought about it and suggested:

"Your Majesty should always see the emperor's envoys, if they are always received by the old slaves, I'm afraid it will be ......"

He was afraid that Li Heng would not be able to save face, and it would only deepen the conflict between father and son, and this would not be good for the Emperor except to vent his anger.

Li Longji waved his hand and said:

"Knowing what you're worried about, you don't have to be so mother-in-law, just go and tell those messengers, I'm not happy, so I won't summon you!"

Li Longji also relied on Li Longji to treat the envoy sent by Li Heng so slowly, and now even Shuzhong is in the wrong position in the legend, and it happened that Li Ling erected a banner against Li Heng in the south of the Yangtze River, and Li Heng was even more anxious to hope that Li Longji would confirm and recognize his legitimacy.

In fact, Li Longji didn't have to do anything, he just had to return to Chang'an as soon as possible, and sitting in Chang'an would be tantamount to showing the world that he supported Li Heng.

In fact, on the contrary, Li Longji's slow grinding along the way did not want to give Li Heng this kind of support, and at the same time, he secretly helped Li Xuan. As long as Li Xuan fought hard and thwarted the people sent by Li Heng to Jiangnan, all the plans would be half successful. Although it will be difficult for him to regain the throne, it is always possible to regain some power.

From Bazhou to Fuyang, a short distance of 70 miles, the convoy walked for seven days, almost advancing at a speed of 10 miles a day. The three waves of the messengers of the Son of Heaven stranded in the convoy were in a hurry, and at this rate, they were afraid that they would only be able to reach Chang'an after three years of Zhide, and at that time I was afraid that any food would be cold.

It is also strange to say that after the third wave of envoys, the expected fourth wave of envoys is gone, and Li Longji and his entourage swayed again, slowly swallowing for half a month before arriving in Nanjiang. At this point, the fourth wave of messengers of the Son of Heaven has finally arrived, and the frequency of a wave of messengers has been much lower than that of the previous three or five days.

In accordance with Li Longji's instructions, Gao Lishi received the envoy of the Son of Heaven on his behalf, but this time he was quite surprised, the attitude of the envoy of the Son of Heaven was actually a lot more arrogant, and he even did not mention the matter of urging the Emperor Taishang to return to Beijing. Colliers has been immersed in the center of the power vortex for decades, relying on his extremely sensitive sense of smell in addition to his loyalty to Li Longji.

This so-called sense of smell is not the function of the nose to distinguish smells, but a subtle grasp of the human movements of various people. For example, the unusually unusualness of the messenger of the Son of Heaven is enough to show that something must have happened to make them dare to do this.

An ominous premonition instantly shrouded his heart, but the other party didn't mention it, and it was not easy for him to take the initiative to ask.

In the end, the messenger of the Son of Heaven did not let Gao Lishi worry for too long, but handed over the military report from the river bank and asked him to forward it to the emperor.

"Good news, Gao Jiedu reversed the situation as soon as he arrived in Jiangnan, and the rebellious Ji Guangchen and others have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and I am afraid that the rebellion in Jiangnan will be decided in a few days!"

The envoy's words were indescribably relaxed and casual, as if he was talking about something ordinary. But for Colliers, it was enough to stir up turmoil in his heart.

Gao Lishi knows very well that once King Yong is defeated, the situation will be very unfavorable for the emperor, and it is even necessary to describe it as sinister. He believed that as long as Li Heng defeated King Yong, he would have fewer scruples, and revenge would naturally be inevitable.

Anxiously bidding farewell to the messenger of the Son of Heaven, Gao Lishi informed Li Longji of the news that King Yong was in trouble. Li Longji was silent for a long time before he said:

"Have the people from Jiangnan arrived?"

Gao Lishi shook his head, it was obvious that Li Longji would not believe the news sent by Li Heng unilaterally, he was waiting for the news sent by King Yong, and only after it was confirmed, could he confirm that this was not a fake news made on purpose.

It's just that the process of waiting is extremely tormenting, just like a prisoner awaiting sentence, who doesn't know the future life and death.

Fortunately, after another three days, the people in Jiangnan also found Li Longji's convoy, they lost their way in the mountains of Bazhong, went around for a long time, and inquired all the way before catching up.

But unfortunately, although the people arrived, they brought completely bad news.

"The king of Xiangcheng planned to kidnap the king of Yong to ask the Son of Heaven for guilt, but he was defeated and fled, and Shi Wei Zichun, the governor of the capital, also committed suicide after that, and the king of Yong was even more devastated by this blow, and he was afraid that his demise would be sooner or later!"

Gao Lishi's heart was cold, he originally still held a glimmer of hope, thinking that King Yong could still recover the decline, but now even King Yong, King Xiangcheng, father and son have made internal strife, and their defeat is not just around the corner? Maybe it is not known that he has been defeated at this time, after all, it has been more than half a month since the envoy from Jiangnan arrived in Bashu, and the ghost knows what has changed in Jiangnan.

"The Emperor's ......"

Looking at Li Longji with a sluggish face, Gao Lishi wanted to comfort him and relax his heart, but he didn't know what to say as soon as the words came out.

After being silent for a long time, Li Longji finally sighed.

"Draft edict ......"

Gao Lishi was stunned, what is the use of issuing an edict in the situation now? After hesitating, Li Longji had already slowly dictated.

"Abolish the Yongwang Li Lan as a concubine and move to the ...... Fangling"

As soon as this edict came out, it was equivalent to the Emperor Taishang's confirmation of the defeat of Li Xuan's rebellion, and at the same time confirmed his own defeat, and this secret contest and struggle ended temporarily with the complete victory of Li Heng, the son of heaven.

"The Emperor's ......"

Gao Lishi couldn't bear to write, but Li Longji urged him to write quickly.

"That's all I can do for Li Lan......

There was desolation and helplessness in his words, and Gao Lishi even tasted a little guilt, which is extremely rare. In the impression of the emperor, it seems that anyone around him can be sacrificed at any time, the scene of killing three princes in one day is still vivid, the emperor at that time did not shed a single tear, and now his voice seems to be a little choked.

The first step to depose Li Xuan as a concubine and degrade Fang Ling blocked the possibility of Li Heng executing this rebellious brother, at least the current Li Heng did not dare to openly disobey Li Longji's edict.

After passing Fuyang, the convoy no longer delayed, accelerated the speed of travel, and after ten days, finally arrived at the Meridian Pass, and further forward was the pass where they had been absent for a year.

Li Longji, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, looked at the land of Guanzhong and couldn't help but have mixed feelings, but at this time, the news of King Yong's death came. After Li Lan was defeated and fled south after leaving Jiangning, he was interviewed by Jiangnan West Province and killed Huangfu Yu in Da Yuling between Jiangnan West Road and Guangnan East Road.
