Chapter 338: Wanting to be crowned king

In this way, after Yang Xingmi defeated Sun Ru, he led the generals back to Yangzhou, and he asked the court to ask Tian Hao to guard Xuanzhou, Anren and Yi, and keep Runzhou until August, and the imperial court took Yang Xingmi as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, and Tongping Zhangshi took Tian Hao to know Xuanzhou, and An Renyi was the assassin of Runzhou

Yang Xingmi's control system in Yangzhou was finally determined, and this time Yang Xingmi counted all the people in the court, including Duan Mingyu, who was also saying good things to him, seeking moderation, so that the layout of the post was not small, Yangzhou was far away from Chang'an, and it was not a problem to extend the military situation for a year

Yang Xingmi has two generals in his hands, Zhang Hao and Xu Wen, at this time, both of them are talented people, in Duan Mingyu, which era, after Yang Xingmi's death, his son was young, these two people single-handedly controlled the lifeblood of Jianghuai, and finally this Zhang Hao Xu Wen and the two started a competition, Xu Wen defeated Zhang Hao, took Yang Xingmi's young son and replaced him, and changed xìng to Li, established the famous Southern Tang regime in history, and Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, is the descendant of Xu Wen

But Yang Xingmi didn't die, these two people didn't dare to mess around, and the three of them were sitting in front of the fire, Yang Xingmi said: "Two brothers, now Jianghuai has taken my hands, and you think how to act next?"

Zhang Hao said: "Jieshuai, now you have reached the pinnacle of officials, but you are still a courtier, you can't expand your strength with great fanfare, and now Jieshuai's top priority is to get the throne, and the name is right, and at that time, I Jianghuai will be a big increase in strength, and the cohesion of my subordinates must be higher."

Xu Wen pondered for a moment and said: "Yes, Brother Zhang is reasonable, and Weichen thinks this is the best policy."

Yang Xingmi glanced at Zhang Hao and Xu Wen and said: "The two of you have a good plan, this handsome man can do a lot of things with great fanfare once he gets the throne, but it is not trivial to be called the king, but he should send a minister to Beijing to ask for sealing, and use a lot of money to open the door, so that the big thing can be done."

Zhang Hao and Xu Wen looked at each other, and finally arched their hands in unison and said, "Weichen is willing to go"

"Okay, okay, it's a great fortune that Ben Shuai can get the two, this matter will be handed over to Zhang Hao, you will do it, choose to enter Beijing Wang'er, live up to expectations," Yang Xingmi stood up, waved his hand, and the two slowly retreated

Chang'an has just had a heavy snowfall, and the white copper basin on the white hall is burning with charcoal, and the heat is overflowing, like chūn, the seventh prince and a group of close ministers sit around the brazier, eating hot pot and talking about state affairs

At this moment, he is talking eloquently about the Seventh Prince, since Duan Mingyu entered Beijing, he has been promoted to the rank of Zhongshu Shiping Zhangshi and ranked as the deputy prime minister, he knows how to figure out the thoughts of the Seventh Prince, and every word can scratch Li Jie's itch, and now he has officially replaced his predecessor and has become the most intimate spokesperson of the Seventh Prince

The Seven Princes said that they forgot to sweat on their foreheads, so they took off their outer robes, and the inner servant immediately stepped forward to take them, and the Seven Princes thanked him with a smile, looked back and continued: "Now that Jianghuai Sun Ruxing is in turmoil, it is expected that Yang Xingmi wants to suppress the chaos and quell the rebellion, it is really not a matter of a while and a half, Jianghuai has just been integrated, and he wants to clean up the people's hearts and calm the place there, so that he can sincerely return to my Chang'an, and it will take a while. It would be more appropriate to train and strengthen the army, wait for everything to be ready, and then calmly control Jianghuai, but if you wait until this day, it will take three or four years at the earliest, but ......"

"However, I never thought that Yang Xingmi would put us in a position so easily, and even lied about the military situation and deceived him to make the throne, and now he sent the general Zhang Hao to the Beijing Division, and he was ashamed to ask Yang Xingmi to be the king of Huainan and exempt Jianghuai from paying taxes for three years, and his wolf ambition is really known to passers-by," Duan Mingyu frowned, and really underestimated the ancients

The Seventh Prince took over the conversation, shook a kraft letter in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "This king has just received the news, Jianghuai envoy Zhang Hao has spent a lot of money to open up Tian Lingzi's door, Tian Lingzi has already learned of His Majesty's attitude, and he actually reluctantly turned Zhang Hao away, it seems that Chang'an and Jianghuai will have a battle."

Duan Mingyu said: "Yes, but the prince must know that the Jianghuai army of tens of thousands is better at water warfare than our army, if there are fewer soldiers and horses used, it will be difficult for our Tang army to win, especially once the war is prolonged, I am afraid that there will be many changes, and it will also drag the people's livelihood of my Tang Dynasty to the point of erosion, so repeatedly, it is inevitable to repeat the mistakes of Emperor Yang of Sui and Emperor Yang of Goryeo."

After counting the rì, Li Yusan in the Jinluan Palace had never gone to court, but he straightened his waist and said in a deep voice: "I weigh the pros and cons of late attack and early attack, and I think it is more appropriate to take Jianghuai as soon as possible, and I have decided to send troops to Jianghuai in March next year, what do you suggestions Aiqing have?"

The Seventh Prince, who took over from Jing Zhaoyin, said: " Your Majesty, when the Tang Dynasty invaded the puppet Qi State, the Khitan had sent troops to obstruct it, because the Khitan whip was beyond the reach of the long whip and had no contact with Huang Chao, and there were disputes in its country, so it never went south, and now Jianghuai has become an obstacle to my Tang Dynasty's domination of the world, if the internal disputes of the Khitan will not intensify, or Yelu Abao can timely control the military power in his hands, then it is very possible to send troops to attack my rear and disturb my Pingjianghuai battle, so the minister thinks that it is still necessary to prevent the Khitan, and it is necessary to send Youzhou Liu Rengong to hold the northern battle, and when the war affairs of Yang Xingmi are quickly decided, cut off the delusional hearts of others."

Li Yi was confused when he heard this, but he knew that the problem must be very serious, so he hurriedly straightened his body and said with a smile: "Brother Huang's words are in line with the United States, although the northern country is in civil strife, it can't be okay."

Another Hanlin scholar stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, so far, my Tang Dynasty has not yet transmitted important information such as the Jiangnan water map and the deployment of troops, if you want to cut down Yang Xingmi, you can't do without the Yangtze River water map and the intelligence of the deployment of troops in various parts of the Yangtze River, otherwise you may need to make ten times the effort, should you let the spies step up the collection of information in this regard?"

Li Yi smiled proudly, his eyes flashed, and he saw Duan Mingyu, the protector of the country, lightly locking his eyebrows, lowering his head in contemplation, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "What is Duan Aiqing thinking?"

Duan Mingyu's eyes flickered, thinking about it, Li Yu didn't even call twice, he didn't hear it, and the Seventh Prince on the side also looked at him with some confusion when he saw this, and gently turned him, Duan Mingyu woke up, Huo Di raised his head

Li Yi smiled again: "What is Duan Aiqing thinking, it is so fascinating, but I have called you three times."
