The end of the year has come, but Tongguan Guancheng is a cold and murderous atmosphere, the people are listless, and the officials are panicked all day long. Shang Shuhan, the generalissimo of Ma Dajun who also led the counterinsurgency, imprisoned his predecessor Gao Xianzhi as soon as he arrived, and a large number of generals also followed the prison and seized the post.

The clouds in Chang'an City are treacherous, but Tongguan is very clear here. After Ge Shuhan liquidated the dissidents in the army, he quickly promoted a cadre of henchmen, and Wang Sili, the Taishou of Jincheng who marched east with him, was the general of the horse army, Pang Zhong was the general of the infantry army in the western part of the country, and the generals of the Fan Dynasty, such as Huo Turen and Qi Bening, were the generals.

However, Ge Shuhan's mood was not smooth, and the envoy of the Son of Heaven who arrived at Tongguan with him brought with him the promotion edict of Tian Jianye, the general of Hangu Pass. At this time, Tian Jianye had been promoted to the general of the hussars, and in the name of deputy marshal, he and Ge Shuhan issued the command in Tongguan.

Ge Shuhan, who has always been arrogant, could have taken this little-known young boy in his eyes? In particular, Tian Jianye was still a nail planted by Yang Guozhong in the army, and it was even more intolerable.

However, what made Ge Shuhan most intolerable was that Tian Jianye adhered to Yang Guozhong's intentions and competed with him in the allocation of grain and grass, and the grain and grass transported by Chang'an were still firmly held in his hands according to Gao Xianzhi's old practice when he was in Tongguan.

"Does the old man think that the old man is as weak and deceitful as Gao Linu?"

Fan pulled out the fire and rubbed his hands and said: "Xianggong has a word, I will wait to cut off his skull!"

Ge Shuhan was surrounded by several henchmen and generals, all of whom were brought out by Hexi Longyou. This Huoba Guiren is a Turkic man, formerly known as Shi Ashibi, the sister-in-law of the Mosi Khan, who led his troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty in the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and then changed his current name. Since then, he has been under the tent of Ge Shuhan in Hexi Jiedu.

Ma Junjun Wang Sili said: "It's easy to kill people, but you have to have a reason, otherwise you will get into trouble for the prime minister!"

Huo Ba Guiren laughed: "The general is very worried, I have already thought of the crime for him!"

……

At the same time, Tian Jianye was summoning his generals, drinking and eating meat with great ambition, and was promoted to five levels in a row in a few days, and became the deputy marshal of soldiers and horses, and even sat on an equal footing with his old brother Shu Han, which is really a happy life.

Yang Xianggong once wrote a thousand letters to tell him that Ge Shuhan must be stared at to death, especially the soldiers, horses, grain and grass, which must be firmly held in his hands......

After Gao Xianzhi was imprisoned, Tian Jianye took the opportunity to clean up a few old Gao Xianzhi who had a bad relationship with him, and Wang Xuanli, who had embarrassed him at the beginning, was one of them.

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound of footsteps and shouting outside, Tian Jianye was furious, although he was not very strict in governing the army, but he never went to the market to shout at will, and immediately slammed the wine bowl on the case, and said angrily: "Which noisy, will be dragged out by Lao Tzu to beat fifty military sticks!"

The general was about to go out, but the door was kicked open from the outside and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Who dares to move?"

More than a dozen armor soldiers rushed into the room with agile movements, and the bright horizontal knives were in front of him, Tian Jianye could see at a glance that these people were the Hexi Army brought by Ge Shuhan, and their momentum immediately decreased.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all your own family, it's better to come by chance, sit down, eat wine, eat meat!"

The first deep-eyed general sneered: "Let's keep the wine and meat and eat it below!"

Tian Jianye was shocked and already realized the danger.

"You, what are you going to do?"

This general is the subordinate of Ge Shuhan who pulled out the fire and returned to Ren, only to see the horizontal knife in his hand flipped, the cold light flashed in pieces, and a good head rolled to the ground when it landed, and blood splattered out of the cavity without a head, drenching the faces of the gathered people.

The hussar general Tian Jianye was still alive just now, but at this moment, he was already the first to split up and became a ghost under the knife.

"On the orders of the generalissimo, Tian Jianye was greedy for military rations, colluded with rebellion, and beheaded the public, can anyone disobey?"

Huo Bagui Ren roared viciously, and swept over Tian Jianye's henchmen. The people who were swept away by the eyes of the fire were all heartbroken, and they fell to the ground and begged for mercy.

"A bunch of useless waste, all bundled up, take away!"

A battle for power, so light and over.

It was late at night, and Ge Shuhan was about to rest, and the cavalry general Wang Sili mysteriously asked to see him.

"Xianggong, let's kill Yang Guozhong's henchmen today, this thief will definitely retaliate in the future, it's better to strike first!"

Ge Shuhan seemed to be casually kneading his numb right leg, and the horizontal flesh on his face jumped suddenly, noncommittal.

Wang Sili saw that Ge Shuhan seemed unmoved, and eagerly continued to persuade: "Xianggong is still hesitating? Now that the 200,000 soldiers and horses in Tongguan are all in his hands, Tian Jianye's thief has also been awarded the ......."

"First strike?"

"Everyone in the world knows that the thief rebelled against Hu Shi for Yang Guozhong to rebel, and the thief also went south under the banner of killing Yang Guozhong, if the prime minister took this opportunity to return to Chang'an with the elite, kill Yang Guozhong......"

Ge Shuhan remained silent, but there was a rare hesitation in his heart. It is true that he also wants to eradicate Ge Shuhan, but if he really does this, how is it different from An Lushan?

Suddenly, Ge Shuhan suddenly felt a splitting headache, which was also the sequelae of wind disease, as long as his mind was a little heavier, the pain was almost uncontrollable. However, on the side of the general, he must not show the slightest weakness, he can only endure himself, and soon there are beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his temples.

"I just killed Tian Jianye, and the hearts of the people in the army are undecided, so let's discuss this matter later!"

Wang Sili also noticed Ge Shuhan's abnormality, and saw Ge Shuhan's hesitation, so he hurriedly said: "If the old minister doesn't seize the opportunity, he will be harmed by this thief sooner or later in the future!"

……

The news of Tian Jianye's killing was transmitted back to Chang'an on the same day, and Yang Guozhong was furious when he learned the news, and wrote an impeachment note overnight, just waiting for the Yuan Dynasty to look good in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.

The fifteenth year of Tianbao came in a small snowfall, the decoration in the Daming Palace was new, the hundred officials outside the Danfeng Gate were lined up according to the rank, the eunuchs of the ceremony sang and cheered, the music played in unison, and the officials began to slowly enter.

Yang Guozhong, as the head of the prime minister, is naturally listed before the hundred officials, and he was extremely angry last night, and he already had the intention of bringing down Ge Shuhan. However, when waiting for today's court, he felt that it was not enough to just knock him down, Ge Shuhan was not like Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing and other generals who led the army in the border all the year round, this person has been in Longyou, Hexi, as the envoy of the festival, both the government and the opposition have deep connections, so his colleagues are all over the government and the opposition, if he is not beaten, there is no possibility of turning over, but I am afraid of a comeback in the future.

As a result, Yang Guozhong has made up his mind that he will not want the life of this old thief, and he will never give up.

"The Tang Emperor has arrived!"

Huang Zhong Da Lu is steep and high-pitched, and Li Longji, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, slowly appeared in the Hanyuan Hall in the worship of 10,000 people.

The old Son of Heaven is dressed in a crown, deep clothes, and embroidered with twelve chapters such as the sun, moon, stars, mountain dragons, and Chinese insects, and the body is surrounded by gold and jade tails, but when he saw him waving his hand and taking a seat, his voice was like a bell.

As for what he said, Yang Guozhong didn't hear a word clearly because of his heavy heart.

Immediately afterwards, the ceremonial officials appeared and read out the emperor's edict, and Yang Guozhong only hoped that these scenes would be completed quickly, and then Ge Shuhan would be completely left behind. As early as the beginning of the Son of Heaven's worship of Ge Shuhan, he had already felt the threat of this person, and on the surface, he was at peace with him, but in fact, he had been secretly collecting Ge Shuhan's handles and lawlessness.

Over the past few days, there are by no means a few dry goods obtained, and there are also a lot of people who can be linked to the over-the-top scheme. He originally thought that he wouldn't use it soon, but he didn't expect that Ge Shuhan was in a hurry than him, and he actually made the first move. So, today, let's use the killing of Deputy Marshal Tian Jianye as an introduction to push it into the abyss of no return.

Suddenly, Yang Guozhong felt that the atmosphere around him was not right, as if there were a pair of eyes staring at him, he raised his head and looked around, but saw schadenfreude, resentment and hatred, and irrepressible pleasure in his eyes.

Yang Guozhong has long been accustomed to the grudge of hundreds of officials, and he can't sit in the position of the head of the prime minister if he is not ruthless or poisonous, and he is not afraid of offending hundreds of officials, as long as the holy family does not fade for a day, these small fish and shrimp are not like ants under their feet, let them be ravaged!

However, Yang Guozhong suddenly noticed that there was something unusual in the Hanyuan Palace, the official who originally read the edict had stepped down at some point, and it was a eunuch who stood on the hall and preached loudly at this time. And the words that came out of the eunuch's mouth, when I heard one or two sentences, felt as if I had removed the edict.

But if I listen to it again, I can't help but wonder how the Yuan Dynasty has an edict to depose officials? It is too uncourteous......

It wasn't until the words Pingzhangshi under the door of the Zhongshu jumped out one by one that Yang Guozhong already felt that something was wrong, but he was distracted before, and he didn't hear who this edict was reading it for.

"Depose Yang Guozhong...... Waiting for envoys, official positions, ...... "Just the official envoys, the eunuchs read for nearly a quarter of an hour.

When Yang Guozhong's three words came out of the eunuch's mouth, he suddenly had an unreal feeling, thinking that today's court meeting was an absurd dream. However, the truth was cruel, whispers kept pouring into my ears, and hot beads of sweat slipped down my temples and became cold and soaked again.

Yang Guozhong was also surprised by the civil and military officials, as well as the crown prince Li Heng, who was also dressed in gorgeous clothes.

Through the crowd, he could even see Yang Guozhong's body trembling and shaking. Although it is difficult to understand the meaning of his father's actions, it is always a good thing to remove Yang Guozhong.

The crown prince Li Heng took a deep breath of the cold air in the Hanyuan Palace, and suddenly felt a shock to his spirit, a new year and a new atmosphere, I hope that the Tang Dynasty, without the traitorous minister Yang Guozhong, can successfully quell the rebellion and regain its glory and prosperity. I didn't expect that my father would always be able to surprise and turn things around......

Yesterday, Li Mi's analysis was still in his ears, although he was quite evasive, but he still clearly expressed his opinion, the reason why the Son of Heaven had the idea of Zen and speculated with kindness was that he was old and lacking energy, and wanted to make the prince revitalize the dynasty. With malicious speculation, it is nothing more than tossing a mess, and he is not strong enough to find a person who carries the black pot.
