The first month of the Zhou calendar was originally the earliest date for the imperial court to discuss the change of Yuan Zhengshuo, but the current situation of internal and external difficulties, coupled with the deliberate delay of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the ceremony could only be postponed.

Li Tong was in Mengjin, and he received the news from Hedong Province for the first time, and he was also relieved to learn that Su Wei and his party had initially stabilized the affairs of the Daibei Dao army.

Of course, this does not mean that the situation is all right, as Zhang Jiazhen said in her heart, the small actions made by Yuan Shuji and others are hidden dangers in the court. And the Turkic Khan died violently, and Mo Si inherited the throne, which was a direct threat of external threat.

As for the history of post-Turkic development, Li Tong does not know very well. But he knew that Mo Si was a more cunning and difficult opponent than his brother Gu Dulu.

Although Li Tong had the idea of competing with his fourth uncle early on, it was not without a bottom line, and there was no shortage of uncles and nephews who were inside the wall and outside to resist their insults. After all, the world belongs to Lao Tzu, I can't even tolerate my uncle, can I tolerate you Turkic remnants taking advantage of the fire to rob?

Therefore, after receiving the news from Hedong Province, Li Tong returned to Shendu as soon as possible to discuss a series of issues such as the placement of the army of Daibei Province and the resistance to the Turks.

In the Guanfeng Hall of Shangyang Palace, with Wang Meichang being swept out of the court, the atmosphere of deliberations became regular for a while, and there was not much change in personnel.

When they saw the letter submitted by Xuanfu envoy Su Wei to the imperial court, and Wu Youyi's willingness to obey the imperial court's imperial decree on behalf of the governors of Daibei Province, the senators and ministers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and their faces also showed smiles.

It has been nearly a month since the imperial court dispatched ten Xuanfu envoys, and each of them has had preliminary feedback, and the news is good and bad. Like Henan, Huainan, Jiangnan and other places, all expressed their obedience to the imperial court decrees.

But there were also some discordant voices, which were generally not expected by the imperial court. For example, in Shannan Province, there are barbarian rebellions, between the Jiang and Han dynasties, and in the Liaoxi generation of Hebei Province, there are also many Tibetan and chaotic people.

But these local riots are basically long-standing problems, and they are not caused by the coup d'état in Shendu. After all, in these areas, the influence of the imperial decree is already weak, and the transmission of news is not too fast, as long as the Xuanfu envoy can cooperate sincerely with local state and county officials, it should be able to control the riot within a certain range, and the probability of further expansion is very small.

Therefore, the army of Daibei Province is the biggest hidden danger facing the imperial court at present. When it was learned that Xue Huaiyi, the governor of Daibei Province, had been beheaded, and that the army was now stationed between Bingzhou and Fenzhou, waiting for the imperial court to appease him, this was undoubtedly a great piece of good news.

Of course, although Su Wei properly handled the problem of the Daibei Provincial Army, the means were to be discussed. He actually recruited the head of the road in the ancestral mausoleum of the Wu family in Wuxing County, which inevitably had a bit of a sense of reversing.

At present, the imperial court is eager to eliminate the influence of the Wu clan in the court, and the abolition of the ancestral tomb of the Wu clan is already under discussion, but the army of the Northern Dao is actually stationed directly in the other realm, which inevitably makes the court's next actions have to be carefully weighed and trade-off.

However, the ministers also knew that Su Wei was a candidate strongly recommended by King Yong and approved by the Holy Emperor, even if he had a slight complaint in his heart, he did not directly discuss this matter on the table.

In fact, Li Tong was also a little unhappy with Su Wei's doing, and he himself had both dependence and limited needs for his grandmother's influence. Although it is not possible to talk about blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, if his grandmother's influence is still too clearly reflected, then the significance of the coup will be greatly reduced.

But he also understood that Su Wei had his own helplessness, and the mission he undertook was the right thing, but Li Tong couldn't provide him with a situation where he was completely unconstrained and could play calmly, in order to avoid delaying the big thing, he could only take a slight trick.

Thinking of this, Li Tong turned his gaze to Di Renjie, if this Shanxi guy was interested in making trouble, Zhang Jiazhen's difficulties encountered on the way would definitely be able to be done in the realm of Bingzhou with his name.

Di Renjie also felt that King Yong's eyes were frequent, but because the book submitted by Su Wei did not elaborate on the disputes in the envoy's team, he was also a little unclear, his eyes were opposite, and his eyes showed an inquiring look.

Di Renjie's expression made Li Tong a little suspicious. It's not that I don't think Di Renjie is completely suspicious, after all, these old foxes of the Li Dynasty control their facial expressions, which are all basic skills.

However, after thinking about it, Li Tong also felt that Di Renjie was not very suspicious as the first mastermind.

After all, Di Renjie's current position, every move is based on the overall situation, although there are as many as ten people in the prime minister's team now, but it is recognized that only Li Zhaode and Di Renjie can preside over the overall situation and exercise the authority of the prime minister.

If Di Renjie had made such a small move, not only Li Tong would be unhappy, but Li Zhaode would also be greatly dissatisfied.

After the army of Daibei Province returns to the dynasty, there is a great chance that it will be supplemented into the Southern Ya Forbidden Army, and the prime ministers naturally have the right to control them, you bypass the political hall to directly contact the generals, who do you want to get?

Just to connect a few generals first, he risked breaking the tripartite balance and maybe even being kicked out, which really outweighed the loss, and Di Renjie really couldn't afford it.

Thinking so, Li Tong's eyes turned to Cui Xuanwei again, and Cui Xuanwei nodded at him with a smile, also with a clear conscience, Li Tong also smiled at him, and at the same time couldn't help but feel quite depressed.

The Five Kings of the Divine Dragon, what a glorious and majestic image in history, how did they get to themselves, except for the undeveloped Huan Yanfan who was pulled over first, how could the rest of them all not deal with themselves, and they had to stumble?

Not to mention these reveries in Li Tong's heart, the next topic turned to the placement of the Daibei army.

Although the hidden danger of Daihoku Province was solved without paying the sword soldiers this time, it also exposed a great problem, that is, the serious emptiness of the power in Kinai. This problem has been around for a long time, but it has been especially exposed this year, especially around the time of the coup.

Even the Holy Emperor Wu Zetian, who has been in charge of state affairs for many years, directly overturned because of this, not to mention Li Dan, the imperial heir who had just left the palace to supervise the country. Therefore, the strengthening of the military forces in Kinai has reached the point of imminence.

Regarding this issue, although Li Tong has a lot of right to speak, it is inconvenient to say too much. Now that most of the troops in Kinai are under his control, if he rashly refuses to allow foreign troops to join the garrison, then he will be a yellow mud with a crotch, and it is very likely that he will be politically isolated and besieged.

For example, the humiliation of the Qinghe Zhang family before, although outsiders looked very cool, but while gloating, they couldn't help but worry about how they would be treated if they had any conflicts with King Yong.

Therefore, the introduction of foreign troops and the balance of King Yong are also strategies that have to be implemented in the current situation, not to oppose King Yong, but to avoid a monopoly and everyone from endangering themselves.

The imperial heir Li Dan also enthusiastically discussed with the ministers the issue of summoning the army of the Northern Province to fill the guards, and asked Li Tong's opinion from time to time, but Li Tong just waved his hand and said nothing.

Seeing that King Yong was so silent, the ministers who were discussing couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, after all, such a big person was in the hall, and it was impossible to pretend not to see it.

Therefore, after the ministers basically discussed a plan, Shangshu Zuo Cheng Wei Juyuan smiled dryly: "If you have any decisions, you can ask the wise." Since the innovation, His Royal Highness King Yong has borne the brunt of the crisis, and now he is in danger of the safety of Dugi Province, and the addition of the first public must be a unique idea. Although the ministers are clumsy, they still need to respectfully ask His Royal Highness King Yong to correct his axe. ”

Although King Yong didn't open his mouth to discuss, no matter how happy they discussed, as long as King Yong didn't nod, it would be difficult for a pawn of the Daibei army to enter Beijing, unless he tore his face and did a fight.

After Li Tong heard this, he went out of class to worship, and then said: "The ministers are scheming, the Turkic thief chieftain will not die violently, and his younger brother Mo Si will seize the unification and stand on his own, and the situation of the thief department may be chaotic and uncertain, but the silent sip of his own wolf nature, or he will use Kou to plunder and establish authority, disturb my border, and this has to be guarded against!" ”

Hearing Li Tong say this, the ministers couldn't help but have different expressions. When they discussed it just now, they did not ignore this issue, but there was no lack of optimism about it, believing that Mo Si was busy controlling the situation in the country, and might not be able to force foreign affairs in a short period of time, so the imperial court could calmly adjust the internal and external affairs.

However, Li Tong disagreed with this, and it was not just that he did not want foreign troops to enter Beijing to check and balance him, after all, he himself did not plan to stay in Shendu for a long time.

"Turks, the country of jackals! If you don't gather the remnants and gather on the desert, is it a virtue? Sipping silently to seize the throne seems to be unruly, but if you can plunder the goods and feed the wolves, everyone should be attached to them. What the public is saying is to use my Chinese etiquette to figure out the wolf's heart, which may not be decent. ”

Li Tong continued: "The army of Daibei Province has been out for a long time, and it is true that the soldiers are tired, but the old situation of my Datang Dynasty is renewed, and I will never tolerate the remnants of jackals abusing the people on the border!" Since the worries of Daibei Province have been solved, but the border danger must not be ignored, the minister asked the court to select good generals and elite troops, patrol the border but thieves. ”

Li Tong's words, although they are not resounding, are indeed thought-provoking.

Since the Holy Emperor Wu Zetian took charge of the country, one of the most criticized things is the failure in side affairs, and more than half of the achievements of the two dynasties of Taizong and Gaozong have been lost. Now that the Shendu Revolution and the imperial heir are in charge of the country, if the Turks take advantage of the fire to rob and plunder, it will indeed be able to shake the stability of the rule.

"This matter really needs to be carefully considered, if you have any good plans, you may wish to speak freely for the masses to refer to!"

After pondering for a moment, the imperial heir Li Dan also spoke.

But this is the case, although there is no shortage of wise men in the courtiers present, none of them can come up with any plan to get the best of both worlds. After all, the power that the imperial court can requisition at the moment is numerous, and it is indeed inappropriate to rashly requisition it from the states of Zhudao.

It's not that no one proposed to replace the soldiers and horses of Dugi Province with the army of Daibei Province inside and outside, and patrol the border for defense, but before Li Tong could speak, he was rejected by the emperor's heir Li Dan.

Letting the Daibei Dao army enter the garrison guard can indeed play a counterbalance effect, but if all the Shendu defenses are handed over to the Daibei Dao army, he will be even more restless.
