Li Ze's old son, Li Anguo, is quite satisfied with being able to take charge of Chengde and be the emperor now, so he hates all actions that try to change the status quo.

Lu Long's Zhang Zhongwu is ambitious, and wants to do what the emperor takes turns to do, and he naturally hates it very much when he comes to my house this year, but he has to deal with it positively, because his territory in Chengde can be said to be close to Lu Long, and he wants to be the first person in the world that day, of course, he needs to step on his Li Anguo's shoulders and climb up.

How can this make him happy?

What kind of person Zhang Zhongwu is Li Anguo knows very well, in comparison, Li Anguo prefers that the current Tang Emperor Li Yan standing on his head is a person who has great ambitions but seriously lacks action. Zhang Zhongwu is different, that is a typical guy who dares to think, dare to do, prosper if he goes along with me, and perishes if he goes against me.

But now the reaction of the imperial court has made Li Anguo indecisive again.

If it was just Gao Biao contacting and commanding everyone to fight against Zhang Zhongwu, Li Anguo felt that there was no problem at all, but the imperial court sent directly subordinate soldiers and horses, and the meaning would be very different.

Carefully calculate the strength, Hedong Jiedu, Zhenwu Jiedu, Henghai Jiedu, plus his Chengde Jiedu, the strength of the four Jiedu envoys together, not to mention crushing him Zhang Zhongwu, but it is not wrong to win steadily in terms of strength, if you add the left and right guards of the imperial court, it is estimated that Zhang Zhongwu will have nothing to sing.

The question is, what about later?

The big guys work together to kill Zhang Zhongwu completely, and then what should they do?

Gao Biao is a foolish and loyal, what the court asks him to do, he will definitely do it, this Li Anguo is also clear, if Zhang Zhongwu is killed in the future, the court will inevitably rise in power, and at that time, the court will take advantage of this shareholder wind to clean up their soil emperors, it will be easy.

You only need to use the same trick you have to deal with Zhang Zhongwu now, give you a promotion, and then call you back to Chang'an, do you want to go?

Not going? You're trying to rebel! That Zhang Zhongwu's fate is your fate.

Go?

Then honestly go to Chang'an to be some kind of bullshit general or some kind of Zijin Guanglu doctor or other loose officials, and take a little poor Yulu nest in Chang'an as a duke? I'm afraid that when the time comes, any official in a small yamen will be able to bully him!

Zhang Zhongwu is going to fight, but he must not be beaten to the ground, this is not good for everyone! It would be enough to teach him a lesson about his ambition.

This is the common idea of several other Jiedu envoys, including Li Anguo.

Therefore, the soldiers and horses directly under the imperial court come in, and they absolutely do not want to see it.

Of course, these reasons are naturally not on the stage and cannot be said publicly, but this does not prevent them from trying all kinds of ways to obstruct them in private.

Naturally, the emperor's determination cannot be hindered by just singing the opposite, so the actual actions must also keep up. The simplest thing is that the local government doesn't provide you with food and grass.

We have done our best to recruit rebels for the emperor, and the people under our rule are already struggling to make a living, and if there is an army of tens of thousands of people, then the people will rebel!

It's not impossible for the imperial army to come, but the grain and grass are heavy, so you have to prepare your own, and you can also ask Your Majesty to come with the army, but you don't dare to harass the place.

In order to express the local concern about supporting tens of thousands of imperial troops, the petition of the Wanmin Book is naturally to be carried out, and a few local riots must be planned.

One operation is as fierce as a tiger!

Then the emperor hesitated, and he was afraid.

The festival envoys opposed it, he didn't want to make a rebellion, and if the people really rebelled again, the consequences would be extremely terrifying, a few years ago, the peasant uprising that swept the entire Tang Dynasty, the scars left on this huge empire, still make the Tang Dynasty faintly painful, and these festival envoys are also the products left by the peasant uprising.

If you really do it again, will the Tang Empire still exist?

After listening to Wang Mingyi's narration, Li Ze smiled bitterly.

That's the status quo. Everyone has their own interests and demands, and it seems that the general direction is the same, but when it comes to each person's requirements, it is very different.

Or those big people in the court did have such thoughts, first swept away Zhang Zhongwu, and then took advantage of the situation to cut off those powerful envoys. Standing on his Li Ze's position, is he willing that his Lao Tzu will lose this monstrous power? Of course not, once he is not a virtuous envoy, he can still be his small rural landlord here leisurely?

Just a petty official can clean up what he doesn't want.

"Or maybe Zhang Zhongwu saw clearly that the Tang Dynasty still seems to be a unified pattern, but in fact it has long been falling apart, so he has the courage to jump out, right?" Li Zedao. "The war hasn't started yet, the big guys have already calculated their own plans, there was originally a chance of winning seven or eight points, but now I'm afraid it's only five or six points, and then everyone is making some small contradictions, or because of the uneven distribution of spoils or something, then you have to reduce a few points, Brother Wang, why do I feel cold in my vest, I think this time there is more than one luck!"

"The little boy is too worried." Wang Mingyi didn't care too much, "Everyone just doesn't want the soldiers and horses directly under the imperial court to come in, it is easy to ask the gods to send the gods, and to deal with Zhang Zhongwu, the troops in the hands of the four major jiedu are enough." ”

"In terms of troops, it is enough, but Zhang Zhongwu is all united in his command, and we have our own little abacus, can it be the same?" Li Ze spread his hands and said.

Wang Mingyi shrugged, "In my opinion, anyway, the big guy didn't want to kill Zhang Zhongwu completely, listening to his uncle's meaning, a few Jiedu envoys just wanted to get Zhang Zhongwu hard and grab some territory from him." ”

"I see!" Raising Kou is self-respecting, Li Ze is very familiar with such a routine.

Wang Mingyi continued: "Therefore, I originally thought that the war would drag on for at least a year, but now because the imperial court intends to send directly subordinate troops over, it has changed, and the big guys are ready to take the lead in attacking, as long as the war goes smoothly and wins a few battles in a row, then the imperial court will no longer have the position of spending huge sums of money to send troops in." ”

Li Ze sat up straight all of a sudden, "In other words, after spring sowing tomorrow, the war will officially start." Does Gao Biao know about this? ”

"Definitely won't tell him. This guy is loyal to the emperor, and if he knows about it, he will definitely stop it, so this is determined by the secret contact between our three families, Chengde, Henghai and Zhenwu. When things started, Gao Yu had no choice but to cooperate with everyone to send troops together. ”

"Does Mr. Gongsun know?"

"Mr. Gongsun knows, opposes, but it is invalid." Wang Mingyi said.

Li Ze sat up straight, and suddenly withered a little, this matter, no matter how you look at it, is a little unreliable.
