Although Li Ye didn't get to the bottom of it at that time, but at the Yuanri court meeting the next day, some sharp-eyed people found that the interest of the saint was a little bad.

But these people were also interested and did not ask much, so as not to spoil the festive atmosphere.

However, on the day of the court meeting, in addition to the routine matters, the most important thing is to let a few princes and princesses study.

The huge lineup of teachers, as well as those students, all moved these courtiers.

Zheng Zheng died and was posthumously presented to the Taifu, but Wang Hui was the Taifu Zhishi.

Tai, refers to the crown prince; Fu is the teacher.

To put it bluntly, he is the future emperor.

Although His Majesty has not made a crown prince today, the three eldest princes are all studying together, which means that they are all students of Wang Hui and others.

No one cares about the third prince, after all, his mother is only Zhaoyi, and Zhang Zhaoyi's own family is not strong, I heard that it is just a Shangjia family, and it can't help Zhang Zhaoyi and the third prince much.

In fact, everyone only values the eldest prince and the second prince.

Both are strong contenders for the crown prince, one mother is the queen and the other is the concubine.

But no matter which prince becomes the future king, Wang Hui and others are emperors, which many people can't envy.

Some smart people also found a problem, the teachers of these princes and princesses have little to do with the queen and Concubine Li's two relatives.

Attracted by the fact that the princes and princesses and the children of the clan began to study after the Yuan Festival, not many people cared about the affairs of Hexi.

However, Li Ye attaches great importance to this matter.

He called Pei Rong, Zheng Congyan, Li Sizhou, Li and Li Jian over to talk about the Hexi Guiyi Army.

"Li Jian, you said before that Zhang Huaiding died in an assassination? Who sent the Assassins? Li Ye asked with a serious expression.

"Back to Your Majesty!" Li Jian arched his hand, "After the investigation of Hexi Jinyiwei, I have some eyebrows."

The most suspicious were the Uighurs, as the Assassins were Uighurs, according to information from the Jinyiwei. Danchen believed that although the Uighurs were suspected, the masterminds were not necessarily Uighurs.

In addition to the Uighurs, the minister believed that Zhang Huaishen's old ministry was also very suspicious.

However, the Guiyi army did not have much clue, and the Guiyi army believed that the Uighurs had done it, and now there was a surge of enthusiasm to use troops against the Uighurs. ”

"At this time, did the Guiyi still have the strength to use troops against the Uighurs? In the third year of Qianning, the Guiyi army was defeated at the hands of the Uighurs in Ganzhou, at this time Zhang Huaiding was assassinated, and the Guiyi army was leaderless, and there was still kung fu to use troops against the Uighurs? Li Si Zhou's face was contemptuous,

In last year's battle, the Guiyi Army suffered a great loss of vitality. Zhang Huaiding, who was originally expected to return, was also questioned by all parties, especially after Li Mingzhen's death, his wife and several sons were very dissatisfied.

Now that Zhang Huaiding has been assassinated again, there is no doubt that the internal contradictions of the Guiyi Army will become more acute.

Li Ye raised his hand and asked, "Who is in charge of the Guiyi Army now?" For the Guiyi Army's festival envoy, can Zhang Huaiding have an explanation before he dies? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Zhang Huaiding left a message before his death, entrusting Gu Suoxun and wanting him to assist his son Zhang Fengcheng as the new Guiyi Army Festival Envoy.

The envoy who wanted to come to the Yiyi Army would soon come to Chang'an to report the matter to His Majesty, and wanted to welcome Zhang Flattery back to Shazhou. However, according to the reports of the people below, Suo Xun does not seem to want to welcome Zhang Fengcheng back, and it is very likely that he will kill Zhang Fengcheng halfway, and then set himself up as the envoy of the Guiyi Army. Li Jian replied.

"Your Majesty, why did the minister let Zhang Fengcheng or Suo Xun serve as the envoy of this festival? The imperial court took advantage of this opportunity to appoint a new jiedu envoy and completely control the Guiyi army in the hands of the imperial court. Li Sizhou suggested.

Li Sizhou is the secretary of the military department, and he is thinking about the imperial court, so he naturally dares to say this.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible." Zheng Congyan immediately stood up and objected.

Although Zheng Congyan still serves as a waiter and is a scholar, he rarely cares about the affairs of the court and the central government, and is the most low-key of the seven members of the cabinet.

But its weight is very large, and even Pei Rong is very polite to it.

"Why did Zheng Shizhong say that? Could it be that such a good opportunity is going to be missed by the imperial court? Li Sizhou was a little dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, Li Shangshu." Zheng Congyan arched his hand, and then said, "The Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and the Liangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion have been established for a short time, and their jurisdictions dare not say that they are safe and sound. Now that the imperial court has just established itself in Hexi, it is unable to look westward, and at this time, if the imperial court directly appoints people other than those who are not part of the Guiyi Army, it will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of the entire Guiyi Army.

Therefore, the minister thought that Zhang Feng could be used as the new jiedu envoy, so that he could win over those Guiyi army generals who were loyal to the Zhang family.

Zhang Fengcheng was too young to deter the fierce generals of the Guiyi Army, so the imperial court could appoint officials loyal to the imperial court to the Guiyi Army, and then transfer some of the old troops of the Guiyi Army that threatened the imperial court's control of Hexi from Hexi.

In this way, within a few years, the imperial court could control the entire Guiyi army without spending a single soldier. ”

After Li Ye listened, he kept nodding his head, Zheng Congyan deserved to be an old minister, and he had to be thoughtful about things.

"Your Majesty, what Zheng Shizhong said is reasonable, but the minister is a little anxious." Li Sizhou hurriedly admitted his mistake.

Li Ye smiled, "King Qin doesn't have to worry too much, Zheng Shizhong is a veteran of the Five Dynasties, so he naturally has to be more sophisticated when thinking about things." King Qin, you can learn more, if you are too impulsive, you can't help me manage the military department. ”

"Your Majesty is taught!" Li Sizhou saluted.

"Your Majesty, just now Commander Li said in his speech that Suo Xun may usurp power, and the minister thinks that he can use this matter to make some trouble. If Suo Xun, the only remaining veteran of the Guiyi Army, can be eliminated, it will be of great help to the imperial court to control the Guiyi Army, and it can also take the opportunity to rein in the small number of Guiyi soldiers and reduce the resistance of the imperial court to enter the Guiyi Army. Pei Rong naturally did not let go of this opportunity to make contributions, and quickly thought of a good way.

Li Ye nodded, "That's a good idea." ”

The speed of Jinyiwei's intelligence is naturally much faster than that of the envoy of the Guiyi Army, you must know that it is 4,000 miles from Shazhou to Chang'an, and even if it is 800 miles to expedit, it will take about ten days.

The eight-hundred-mile rush is just a description, and it really can't run so far in a day, it is generally in between, and it still has to be in the case of a very perfect post station.

The post station from Liangzhou to Chang'an cannot ensure the standard of one station in 20 miles, let alone from Shazhou to Liangzhou.

What's more, Zhang Huaiding's death is not enough to report it with an eight-hundred-mile expedited report, and the speed is naturally not fast.

Therefore, when the envoy of the Guiyi army crawled to report to the imperial court did not arrive in Chang'an until after the Shangyuan Festival, when Zhang Fengcheng learned that his father had been assassinated, his father had already been dead for almost a month.
