"Xiaguan Bazhou Thorn Shi Xiao Rong (Langzhou Thorn Shi Yang Hanzhou) See His Royal Highness King Shou!"

Looking at the two thorn histories in front of him who were forty years old, Li Ye smiled and pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Lord Xiao and Lord Yang, please take a seat!" ”

"Your Highness!"

The two glanced at each other, and they were also a little apprehensive in their hearts, they didn't know why this Shouwang called them over, and on the way here, both of them saw the Tiance Army stationed in Jiachuan and Yiqing counties.

Jizhou, Bazhou and Langzhou are the three states, Langzhou is the strongest both economically and militarily, while Langzhou is the middle state, and Bazhou and Jizhou are both lower states. But even Langzhou didn't dare to confront Li Ye head-on, he had violated Niu Miaoyang before, it was far away, and the other party had nothing to do with him, but Li Ye stationed the Tiance Army on the border of the state. You must know that Langzhou is less than 3,000 soldiers and horses, what can you use to confront the Tiance army?

So after getting Li Ye's order, Yang Hanzhou, the assassin of Langzhou, hurried over, not to mention Xiao Rong, who was the assassin of Bazhou.

"The two adults rushed so far to Lizhou, and it was hard work, this king asked people to prepare good tea for you, this is Mengding tea as a tribute, and there are not many of them here. Thanks to the blessings of the two adults, this king can also have a drink today. ”

Yang Hanzhou hurriedly stood up and saluted, "It's not hard, after getting His Highness's order, the lower officials don't dare to slack off, and come directly to meet His Highness." ”

"Lord Yang, please sit down, drink tea first!"

Just as Li Ye was speaking, the maid next to him had already brewed the tea and put it on the small table in front of the two. Smelling the fragrance of tea, the two couldn't help but revel in it, as two people, Mengding tea naturally drunk, but this tribute tea is the best in Mengding tea, not if you want to drink it. Being able to drink tribute tea, the two of them also felt honored in their hearts.

Just when the two of them began to taste tea, Li Ye said quietly, "Since this king took office as the envoy of this festival, he has been frightened and has not slept well all night. Only then did I find out that it is not easy to be a festival envoy, and it is the same to think that the two adults should be the assassin of this history, you must know that it is so difficult to do, and this king should be an idle prince in the court, isn't it happy? ”

After Yang Hanzhou and the others heard this, they felt that Li Ye had something to say, "I don't know why His Highness is troubled?" ”

"Naturally, it was the rebels occupying Xingyuan Mansion. A few days ago, the rebels also mixed in with the displaced people, intending to capture Lizhou, fortunately they were recognized by this king, otherwise how could this king sit here and drink tea with the two adults so leisurely. Li Ye closed the lid of the cup with his right hand, then put the tea on the table, and couldn't help sighing.

"His Royal Highness Jiren has his own heavenly appearance, this time to quell the rebellion, there is a sense of the help of the righteous army and the Dongchuan army, I want to come to His Highness to quell the rebellion The time is just around the corner. A little rebellion, as long as His Highness is there, it can't make a big wave. Xiao Rong said flatteringly.

"Sycophants!" Zhang Wei, who was on the side, heard Xiao Rong's words, and couldn't help but scold in his heart, he didn't expect that there would be someone better than himself.

"That being said, the king is still a little worried. The loyal rebels were strong and strong, and if they could not gather the forces of Shannan and Xidao, it would not be easy to quell the rebellion. The king was worried that the king was quelling the rebellion in front, and that someone was dragging his feet behind and making a stumbling block. Li Ye pointed out all that.

Yang Hanzhou and the others were shocked, and hurriedly promised, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the lower officials will take His Highness's head as the horse." ”

Li Ye looked at the two of them, took a sip of tea, and said lightly, "If this king is not mistaken, the two adults should have also told the former envoy Niu Miao." It's a pity that when the loyal rebels attacked Xingyuan, the ten states of Shu basically did not send troops to help, since you can disobey Niu Miaoyang, wouldn't it be the same for this king? ”

Hearing this, the two of them couldn't hear that Li Ye was asking for guilt, so Yang Hanzhou hurriedly got up.

"Your Highness's forgiveness! In fact, Niu Miao did mischief in Shannan West Road, set up a large number of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, monitored the states, and Xia Guan and others were really evil for a long time. However, Niu Miao holds great power and has the support of field thieves, so we really dare not oppose it. When the loyal rebels attacked Xingyuan, the ten states of Shu did not move, and it was not disloyal to the imperial court.

If His Royal Highness quells the rebellion of Zhongwu, the lower officials and others will naturally not do their best to assist His Highness in quelling the rebellion as before, and they will obey His Highness's orders in terms of money, food, and soldiers, and everything will be based on His Highness's horse. ”

"Your Highness, the lower officials also have the same meaning as Lord Yang, and I hope that Your Highness will be clear." Xiao Rong on the side also hurriedly agreed.

Li Ye didn't speak, just looked at the two of them. And the two who bent down and saluted didn't know what the young Highness in front of them was thinking, and their hearts were weak, and they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on their heads.

"Really?" Li Ye asked rhetorically, "But after all, the two adults have had criminal records before, so how can this king believe that the two adults will not continue to do this in the future?" ”

"The loyalty of the lower officials and others to His Royal Highness and the imperial court can be seen by the sun and the moon, if His Highness is not satisfied, everything will be at the disposal of His Highness." Yang Hanzhou gritted his teeth and said.

At this time in the Tang Dynasty, the most important first-level administrative body was the state, and the history of a governor and some of the official positions below were all appointed by the imperial court. However, as the power of the feudal town became stronger, the Jiedu envoy also had the right to appoint the assassin history of the jurisdiction, and only needed to report it to the ministry at that time.

Therefore, Yang Hanzhou and the two are also very weak-hearted, and now that the two are in Lizhou, if Li Ye really wants to remove the two from the position of assassination, the two of them will not have any room for refutation.

"There is no need to let this king dispose of it, the two adults are both Jinshi in the early years, and they have meritorious service in governing the jurisdiction, and it is impossible for this king to dispose of the two adults casually.

But... Hearing the words 'but', Yang Hanzhou's hearts tightened, and they pricked up their ears to listen to Li Ye's words, "But later, this king needs all states to send troops to join the quelling of the Zhongwu rebellion, so the two adults will hand over the post of regimental training envoy."

In life, don't be too greedy, it's convenient for the two adults to govern well, and the affairs of the army are still under the unified management of this king. I wonder what the two adults think? ”

Hearing this, Yang Hanzhou, who lowered his head, couldn't help but glance at each other, both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and asked what the other party meant. Li Ye's meaning is obvious, that is, to deprive them of military power. The reason why the assassin can say nothing in a state is because the assassin has the military and political power, and without the military power, their power will be greatly reduced, and the two naturally hesitate to hand over the military power.

I saw Xiao Rong shaking his head with a calm face, obviously not agreeing to hand over military power. Yang Hanzhou had a bottom in his heart, but he was still a little hesitant, what if King Shou directly detained them?

Just when Yang Hanzhou looked back and thought about it, he saw a figure flashing next to him, only to see Xiao Rong take a step forward and say loudly, "Your Majesty obeys Your Highness's orders." Xia Guan is a literati, and he is not familiar with the matter of warfare, and now His Royal Highness needs the troops of various states to participate in the counterinsurgency, and Xia Guan naturally cannot hold back. If His Highness needs it, the lower officials can also be regarded as wearing armor and going into battle! ”

"Lord Xiao laughed, how can you let Lord Xiao go into battle to kill the enemy, if there is a mistake, wouldn't it be a loss for this king." Li Ye said with a smile, and he was in a very good mood.

"Shameless! Despicable villain! Seeing Xiao Rong's duplicity, Yang Hanzhou was very angry, he didn't expect the other party to come to such a stubble, so he also stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the lower officials have no objections." ”

"Good! The two lords understood things so well, and the king was very pleased. Zhang Wei, I ordered to go down and entertain the two adults in the mansion today. Li Ye laughed and said, showing that he was in a good mood, and then said to the two in front of him, "The two adults can stay in Lizhou for a few days, and the king still has some things to ask the two adults, and after a few days, the king will let the Tiance army escort the two back." ”

Originally, he was going to go back and deliberately dragged the two who did not cooperate, but when he heard Li Ye say this, he knew that this matter was not something they could change. I didn't expect that this Shouwang was young and so sophisticated, if he sent the Tiance Army to accompany him, the uncooperative thoughts in their hearts could only be temporarily accepted.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Seeing that the wood has been completed, the two of them can only give up and see what happens later. The ten states of Shudi, in addition to Lizhou and their two states, there are also seven states, let's see how the other seven states deal with it!

After speaking, Li Ye asked the two who looked bad to take them down to rest, and then he put away his smile and instructed Zhang Wei on the side with a flat expression, "Go and call Zhao Xiong and Chen Zhi'an!" ”
