In the Guanfeng Hall of Shangyang Palace, the emperor's heir Li Dan frowned, looked out of the palace gate frequently, and finally couldn't bear it, raised his hand to summon a general of Nanya stationed outside the palace, and asked in a low voice: "King Yong has not entered the palace yet?" ”

When the general heard this, he shook his head and asked, "Send someone to invite you again?" ”

Li Dan subconsciously nodded in agreement, but after thinking about it, he still shook his head and waved his hand to signal the general to step back for the time being.

Guanzhong is the foundation of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the severity of the turmoil in its place is by no means comparable to that of the Hu people in Hebei and the native barbarians in Shannan. Therefore, after Li Dan got the news, he immediately ordered to summon the important ministers to come to Shangyang Palace to discuss.

Among them, King Yong's attitude towards this matter is naturally the top priority, and it can even be said that to a certain extent, it can be said that it can determine how the imperial court should deal with this incident next.

Therefore, Li Dan also sent someone to inform King Yong to enter the palace as soon as possible, but now that the ministers have arrived one after another, King Yong has not arrived, which inevitably makes Li Dan a little anxious.

But at the same time, he felt that if he sent someone to invite him again, it would undoubtedly appear that he was too dependent on King Yong. So Li Dan could only hold back his emotions and patiently listen to the courtiers in the palace continue to report the details of the turmoil in Guanzhong.

“…… In this turmoil, the thieves have entered Chang'an County, and the number of participants is temporarily unknown, but the two thieves have not dared to intrude for the time being. Wannian County Order, Lu Guogong Quan Huai'en gathered the villagers to temporarily guard the main house, and the people who stayed in Xijing retreated to Jingda, because the thieves were unclear, and they did not dare to attack rashly. The counties of Jingzhou are also guarding their own ......"

The person in charge of reporting the situation was Li Daoguang, the prime minister and the squire of the military department, and while reading the latest information received by the political affairs hall, he continued: "The preliminary guess is that this riot is caused by Xuanfu making Dou Huai unfavorable to Xuanfu and collecting ...... caused by the forced gathering of people in Xijing without authorization."

"Why did Dou Huairang do this?"

The empire was fundamentally harassed by the chaotic people, and Li Dan did not have the calmness of the past, and said in a condensed voice after hearing the words.

It's just that after this question was spoken, it caused a short and embarrassing silence in the hall, and the ministers in the hall looked at each other, but none of them answered immediately.

Dou Huairang's reason for doing this is also very simple, it is nothing more than hoping to repair the two major interiors of Xijing as soon as possible, so that the center of the imperial court can move back to Xijing. But this matter is not allowed by the imperial court, although there have been frequent related issues recently, but they have been stuck in the political affairs hall, and they are not discussed by the court at all.

To put it bluntly, the prime ministers don't want the center of the court to move back to Xijing now, so the relevant issues are held down.

Xuanfu made Dou Huairang should take advantage of his position to make such an action without authorization, first repairing the two major interiors of Xijing, and then appealing to the imperial court to move back to Xijing through other means, but he didn't expect that the situation in Xijing was already different, and Dou Huairang also overestimated his influence in Guanzhong, and directly overturned.

Not allowing the imperial court to return to Guanzhong is the collective tacit understanding of the prime ministers at present, so when the imperial heir asked the reason, the ministers also had a tacit understanding and were collectively silent.

"Dou Huai made a big sin, and he made an unauthorized claim without the permission of the imperial court, and easily disturbed the situation and people in Xijing Township!"

Prime Minister Li Zhaode snorted coldly, his tone was also full of dissatisfaction, first set the tone, and then continued before others had time to speak: "But now is not the time to hold accountable, Dou Huairang is the envoy sent by the imperial court to Fuguan after all, and he is actually held hostage by the chaotic people with personal grudges, the only way to do this is to fix the chaos quickly, and never let the situation in Xijing continue to erode!" ”

Li Zhaode's speech can be regarded as setting a tone, Dou Huai let disturb Xijing, it is true that he deserves to die, but now that he is held responsible, it will undoubtedly further breed the arrogance of those people in Xijing who are causing chaos. Only by killing the people who stole Xijing and made rebellion can we discuss Dou Huairang's culpability.

Settle the chaos first and then compensate, which is also the unanimous opinion of the ministers. Fortunately, the mission of Xuanfu in Hedong Province has been completed well, and the situation of the Daibei Provincial Army has been stabilized, but the imperial court is not in a situation where there are no soldiers available.

After Li Zhaode made his statement, the ministers also spoke separately, and they were generally within Li Zhaode's framework. In short, we must not tolerate the continued expansion of the chaos in Xijing, and we must bring the situation in Xijing under control as soon as possible with lightning speed.

Just as the ministers were still discussing how to control the chaos, suddenly another general outside the hall hurriedly ascended the hall and announced: "His Royal Highness King Yongwang has gone to Beiya, and sent people to take over the defense of Zetianmen!" ”

After hearing the news, the palace suddenly fell silent, and the needles could be heard, and the face of the imperial heir Li Dan became quite ugly.

In a small way, the imperial heir is still eagerly waiting for King Yong, but the governor of King Yong went to Beiya to defend the Holy Emperor as soon as possible, and in his mind, which is more important is undoubtedly revealed.

In general, there was such a big thing as turmoil in Xijing, and the ministers were anxiously discussing the chaos in the palace, but King Yong not only did not enter the court to discuss, but went directly to Beiya, which was really a bit ill-intentioned!

"King Yong doesn't know the general situation! Being in a high position, not participating in trouble, only doing personal tricks, is really a big loss! ”

After a moment of silence, Yang Jiaben, the Duke of Guanguo, took the lead in speaking, his tone was extremely dissatisfied, Guanzhong is the common nest of these Guanlong portals, and this kind of chaos happened, of course, he hoped to be able to unite the government and the opposition and settle the chaos as soon as possible, but he didn't expect King Yong to have no other arms, so he didn't care about them at all.

However, as soon as Yang Jiaben's words fell, Prime Minister Ouyang Tong couldn't help but take the case, and said angrily: "What Guan Guogong said is contrary! When encountering trouble, how can he be a wise man! Before sending Dou Huairang, didn't King Yong give advice? At that time, King Yong said that the Dou family had been persecuted by their hometown in the past years and formed a personal grudge against each other.

Now that the imperial court has been renovated, only with a square choice and a broad righteousness can it calmly soothe the feelings of the people in the Guan. If Dou Huai is forced to concede, he will be centrifuged up and down, and personal grievances will stir up trouble, what did the princes hold at that time? Now that the incident has happened, why do you complain about King Yong? ”

Hearing Ouyang Tong say this, everyone in the hall also showed a little unnaturalness on their faces, especially Yang Jiaben, Wei Juyuan and several others who were born in Guanlong.

Previously, various provincial envoys were dispatched, and there was indeed a debate in the court about the candidates for the Guannai Dao. Although King Yong did not participate in the discussion at that time, he did express his opinion through others, thinking that Dou Huairang was not a good choice.

But in the end, it was Guan Long who was born in these people to support Dou Huairang, and the other prime ministers also agreed to this decision out of the idea of balancing the situation.

In their opinion, Guanzhong is, after all, the foundation of the Tang family, and now it is the time of innovation to abandon Zhou and return to Tang, and the masses in Guanzhong must also be cheering, and there will be no chaos.

What's more, the reasons stated by King Yong are also somewhat inaccurate. The Dou family did experience some turmoil in Guanzhong in the old years, but it was mainly from the persecution of the Shendu Dynasty, plus the Dou family did some bad things to King Yong, but it was not a nostalgia and personal grudge.

Besides, the main turmoil at that time was the Dou Shan lineage of the three ancestors of the Dou family, and Dou Huairang was the descendant of Dou Yue, and the kinship between them even dates back to more than a hundred years ago.

It is really unreasonable for King Yong to prevent Dou Huai from conceding to Guan Nei Dao because of a personal grudge with another Dou family. But I didn't think that King Yong's mouth was like opening the light, and the worst situation really happened.

At this time, Ouyang Tong brought up the old matter again, and suddenly made everyone have a hot feeling on their faces. Of course, with the cultivation they have cultivated over a long period of time, they will not be ashamed of this, but the key depends on who is the person who slapped the face.

King Yong reminded in front, but they didn't listen, and it turned out to be true, if you complain that King Yong's cooperation is not enough, then what you will usher in is not necessarily a verbal stab.

"After all, Xijing is the fundamental place of the dynasty, where the ancestral industry of the imperial tomb is located, and this kind of evil thing suddenly happened, which makes people worried. I was also in a panic before I lost my words, and I ask for forgiveness from the public, and focus on the chaos in front of me, and I will definitely come to the door to ask His Royal Highness King Yong for the crime of gaffe. ”

Yang Jiaben was squeezed by Ouyang Tong, although he couldn't get off the stage, he still quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake and no longer insisted.

When the imperial heir Li Dan saw this, he also spoke: "The sudden riot in Xijing will inevitably make the gods unstable. King Yong's entry into the Gong is a line of pure filial piety. The princes also asked to draw up a statute to settle the chaos as soon as possible, and then ask King Yong afterwards. ”

Hearing what the imperial heir said, everyone also cleaned up their hearts and continued to discuss how to settle the chaos.

In fact, there is nothing to discuss about how to control the chaos, nothing more than to send a general and lead the army to Guanzhong, and directly suppress those rebellious people. But the crux of the matter is, who should be sent to quell the chaos, and which way should the men and horses be deployed?

This is also related to the issue of the balance of the situation in the DPRK, and whether the qualifications and abilities of the generals dispatched are sufficient, which is also a key issue. Speaking of this, everyone also faintly realized that the reason why King Yong did not come to the council was most likely because he did not want to be selected to go to Guanzhong to settle the chaos.

This is also a clear thing, now King Yong is the first person in the military in the court, and as the governor of Dugi Province, no one dares to underestimate him.

If you rush to Guanzhong, you will definitely not be able to retain your original influence in the court, and the scale and intensity of the current Xijing turmoil, many details are not clear, and the relationship between King Yong and the Guanlong family is not harmonious, and you have to consider a problem that will be constrained.

On the one hand, it is noble and powerful in the court, and on the other hand, the future of going to the quagmire of Guanzhong is uncertain, and I can also know what kind of choice King Yong will have.

Prime Minister Li Zhaode, in line with the principle of who pollutes and who governs, took the lead in proposing that Yang Jiaben, the Duke of Guanguo, be the head of the army, and lead the army of Daibei Province, which had just been pacified, to Guanzhong to put down chaos.

But Yang Jiaben was reluctant to take this hot potato, and the reason why King Yong prevented Dou Huai from sending envoys became an excuse for him to evade responsibility, only saying that Dou Huai let inspire the people to revolt, if the imperial court sent another person from a famous clan in Guanzhong to come forward to settle the chaos, it may even stimulate the stubborn resistance of the chaotic people, which is not conducive to suppression.

However, some people proposed to use Li Chengqi, the king of Yu, to lead the Yongzhou pastor, and at the same time select good generals to quell the rebellion. But as soon as this proposal came out, it was rejected by the imperial heir Li Dan, and now the complicated situation of the court even makes him feel powerless, and he is even more reluctant to let his son rashly intervene in this chaos.

Therefore, in the end, the preliminary opinion formed by the imperial court was to let Li Shenzhi, the king of Yong, lead the army to Guanzhong. After all, the turmoil in Guanzhong is secondary, and its political significance is the fundamental reason for the shock of the court, and there must be a person with a noble enough status to show the importance that the court attaches to Guanzhong.

"Let's send someone to inform King Yong first...... I would like to ask for the opinion of His Majesty the Holy Emperor. ”

Li Dan thought about it and then said, he was more inclined to let King Yong go, but he also felt that this idea was a bit unauthentic, and he was quite suspicious of pulling ladders over the wall, worried that King Yong might refuse.
