Chapter 182: Scheming

After the Tianba and the others walked away, Tianxiong finally said in a worried voice: "Presumably, even if this king doesn't say it clearly, I'm afraid you, Mr. Pang, will be able to guess what I want to say." ”

Pang Shiyuan said: "If your subordinates didn't guess wrong, Lord Wang, you should be worried about His Highness's affairs now, right?" ”

Tianxiong said: "Yes, those who know me, it is really Mr. Pang!" Ba'er really disappointed me too much, I really worry about whether he will be able to shoulder the burden he deserves in the future? ”

Pang Shiyuan said: "Please forgive my subordinates for saying that this idea of the prince at this moment is too dangerous, and please dispel this idea as soon as possible." ”

Tianxiong said: "What do you mean, is it possible that Mr. Pang is really optimistic about Ba'er, or do you have any other ideas, please let Mr. Pang make it clear." ”

Pang Shiyuan said: "It's not a secret, His Highness does have many shortcomings, and even frankly speaking, he is indeed far from His Highness Tianjing. ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then continued: "But, no matter what, at this time like this, Lord Wang, you should definitely not suddenly have this terrible idea of 'abolishing the long and standing young'. ”

Tianxiong said: "To be honest, I really haven't thought about it now, but I really want to swap the roles of their brothers now." ”

Pang Shiyuan said: "My subordinates understand, doesn't the prince just want His Highness to be the king of Qin next, but let His Royal Highness Tianjing enter the Zhongdu Jingshi and take charge of the Praetorian Guard Legion." ”

Tianxiong said: "Yes, that's right. And in this way, Ba'er's bravery and Jing'er's resourcefulness may be even more able to be released. ”

Pang Shiyuan said: "Having said that, the prince must not forget the lessons of the previous dynasty of the East China Sea Dynasty, if it weren't for the founding emperor of their East China Sea who abolished the elder and the younger, there would not have been a later war between the north and the south." Even though it was finally reunited again, it was a great loss of national strength since then, and it was replaced by our Celestial Empire in less than a hundred years. ”

After a slight pause, seeing that Tianxiong didn't have much reaction, Pang Shiyun continued: "Besides, even if we take another step back now, after all, we are still only the so-called 'beginning of Longxing', and we are still quite far from truly becoming the unification." ”

Tianxiong said: "This is also the truth. ”

Pang Shiyuan said: "Therefore, even if the prince really has a lot of complaints about His Royal Highness now, it will definitely not be obvious in the slightest." Otherwise, once their brothers are born, the civil and military forces below will naturally be more turbulent, and I am afraid that it will really be harmless at that time. ”

Tianxiong said: "Hmm. ”

Pang Shiyuan said: "What's more, Lord Wang, you are now in the prime of your life, so it is really a bit early to say that this is really a bit early to consider." ”

Tianxiong said: "Okay, Mr. Pang, if you say it so heartily, I will have the bottom of my heart, hehehe." ”

Pang Shiyuan said: "By the way, Lord Wang, there is still something that his subordinates don't vomit and are unhappy, and I ask Lord Wang Ye to allow his subordinates to speak rashly." ”

Tianxiong said: "Mr. Pang, you are here."

What are you talking about, our brothers have always been inseparable from each other, if you have anything to say, you can say it clearly, this king will definitely listen to you. ”

Pang Shiyuan said: "That's the case, why didn't you give the order for a long time, and you were cruel to the big eunuch Li Gu next to the little emperor?" You must know that this person is not only absolutely loyal to the little emperor, but also can be regarded as the former emperor of Tianwei. In particular, in the earlier incident of Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, he Li Gu had already clearly shown his disobedience to the prince. ”

Tianxiong said: "This is also the truth. ”

Pang Shiyuan said: "The most important thing is that on the surface, he had to hand over most of the power of the Praetorian Guard, but he still tightly controlled the most elite imperial guard battalion. ”

Tianxiong said: "This, this Li Gu is the person designated by the former emperor's brother to entrust Gu after all, not to mention that he is not at fault at present, so we really don't have any suitable reason to impose any harsh punishment on him." ”

Pang Shiyuan said: "Having said that, I'm afraid that this person's vigilance is too high, maybe one day it will really ruin our big things." You know, don't look at him as just a eunuch, but he has a considerable relationship with the civil and military ministers inside and outside the court. In particular, he and the four princes of other towns are not trivial, which must not be taken lightly. ”

Tianxiong said: "I think so, let's not move him easily for the time being, so as not to cause too much chain reaction." In this way, in the next step, I plan to continue to expand the Praetorian Guard, and directly expand the two battalions of the Praetorian Guard under Ba'er into the ninth battalion of the Praetorian Guard. The Imperial Guard Battalion under the command of Li Gu not only streamlined its establishment, but also further reduced the scope of their control. ”

Pang Shiyuan said: "In the end, it is the prince who is clever, in this way, he Li Gushi is weak, so naturally he is not afraid of what he is secretly doing." And in this way, it can also be used to strengthen the safety of the little emperor, so as to block those leisurely mouths inside and outside the government and the opposition. ”

Tianxiong said: "Not only that, but we also have to continue to put pressure on Li Gu, doesn't he want to find out about Zhao Jin's death, doesn't he want to find out who is behind the scenes to manipulate all this." Okay, let's let him continue to investigate deeply, after all, this can be regarded as a place for his exuberant energy to be useful. ”

Pang Shiyuan said: "Yes, and we can continue to put pressure on him, such as asking him to solve the case within a time limit, if he can't solve the case within the specified time, how can it be done directly." Anyway, this person has always prided himself on being a hero and a gallant man, so let's really see how he should end up in the end, hehehe. ”

Tianxiong said: "Having said that, let's not be self-defeating, and let him really find out something, then it will be a real joke." ”

Pang Shiyuan said: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, all this was personally planned and supervised by General Zhou An." Others can't believe this, can't you believe it if you can't believe it as General Zhou An. What's more, the specific participants at the beginning have been completely sealed by General Zhou, and I can never do this under my subordinates

The right guarantee. ”

Tianxiong said: "That's good, that's good, to be honest, for now, in addition to Ba'er and Jing'er, the only people who trust the lonely family the most are Mr. Pang and Zhou Qing's family." ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly continued: "Of course, our General Huyan, that is naturally the same as the two of you, hehehe." ”

Pang Shiyuan said: "This is natural, looking at our heavenly empire, who doesn't know that General Huyan is the pillar general of my lord, and the most relied on confidant general." What's more, since the death of Zhao Jin, the old horseman, as far as today's situation is concerned, our General Huyan is a real No. 1 fierce general! ”

Tianxiong said: "Okay, let's not praise each other as our own family." But, no matter what, I can have all of you to help me in my lonely family, which can be regarded as the luck of a lonely family. ”

In this way, the two of them continued to discuss some so-called military affairs, and even talked until midnight.

Sure enough, three days later, under the careful arrangement of Tianxiong's father and son and the fierce invitation of Zhou An, Huyan Shouping and others, Emperor Tianzong really issued a strict decree on the spot, ordering Song Jie, the king of Qin, to immediately raise troops and go to Chu to quell the rebellion.

Originally, the great eunuch Li Gu and a very small number of loyal courtiers still wanted to secretly remind Emperor Tianzong not to issue a hasty decree for the time being, but to first summon Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, Xiahou Zhengjin, the king of Yan, and Song Jie, the king of Qin, to discuss the government together before making a decision.

However, at this time, the power of Tianxiong's father and son in the court was too strong, and most of the courtiers did not dare to speak casually. In particular, Zhao Xing and the others did take the lead in the "rebellion against the decree" this time, and they had already caught the father and son of the Tianxiong family.

In this way, this strict decree was naturally passed smoothly, and there was no pre-imperial council held in accordance with the practice left by the Emperor Tianwei in the early days, and the holy decree was directly issued by Emperor Tianzong.

Not only that, Tianxiong's father and son also had to make another inch, and then coerced Emperor Tianzong to order the expansion of the Praetorian Guard, and further reduced the scope of authority of the chief eunuch Li Gu.

Of course, the reason for the father and son of Tianxiong is also very simple, that is, Li Gu is ineffective, and Zhao Xing of Chu and Zhao Xing rebelled, and the Zhongdu Jingshi needs to strengthen internal and external defense.

In addition, the most important reason is that since Zhao Xing has played the banner of "correct reputation". Then Li Gu, who is specifically responsible for Zhao Jin's case, should bear the brunt of the problem, and must go all out to get Zhao Jin's case to light as soon as possible.

As for later, after Emperor Tianzong's holy decree was really issued, Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, and Xiahou Zhengjin, the king of Yan, naturally had to acquiesce. After all, it is impossible to question the authority of Emperor Tianzong casually, otherwise it will be a blatant disrespect.

In particular, now that the condition of Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, is getting worse day by day, and even has reached a situation where it is difficult to protect himself, the remaining Qin King Xiahou Zhengjin is alone and unable to speak, so naturally he can't rush into Beijing to debate.

What's more, the recent king Khan in the north has an iron and golden wind

Although there is really no major war, small-scale conflicts have occurred, and the northern Xinjiang region is indeed not peaceful.

Besides, after all, this Zhao Xing is the "King of Chu" who "rejuvenated the rebellion" and expelled the Qin order, and he originally had no advantage on the bright side.

In this way, Xiahou Zhengjin, the king of Yan, naturally fell into a dilemma, so he had to follow the example of Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, and simply come to a boring head and wait and see.

Anyway, let's take care of our own mess first, and the rest can only be adapted according to the development of the situation.
