4. Baochen is sick

When Liu Demuro heard this, he really admired, "Yisong really has a unique vision, and sooner or later he will become a big deal." ”

But what he didn't know was that in the blink of an eye, Gao Yue had ambushed Zhu Zhu of Fengxiang Mansion again, and the price he reported to the military government to buy a horse was 50 guan per horse, and a total of 400 horses were bought, and he asked the military government to allocate an additional 10,000 yuan to pay the balance.

Cai Tingyu, another marching Sima and judge of Fengxiang Mansion, felt that the account reported by Gao Yue was wrong, so he went to consult the envoy of Jiedu, Zhu Zhu opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and he said to Cai Tingyu: "Now that the price of horses is in the hands of the Hui people, it is not easy to buy a horse for fifty yuan, so it is a good thing to spend more money and buy more." If you're not at ease, I'll find an opportunity to inspect it right away. ”

So at Zhu Jun's insistence, Cai Tingyu still allocated Gao Yue a cloth worth 10,000 yuan.

After Gao Yue received it, he immediately called Ming Cunyi and his brothers, and said that you take this cloth and go to Shizhou to buy horses again, and also ask the horse dealers to drive the horses here, and I will pay the remaining half of the money.

There was a bargain again, and Ming Cunyi went happily.

If you miss this village, you won't have this store, Zhang Guangsheng and Ma Sui are not willing to buy it, but I am not afraid of trouble.

In addition, Gao Yue also knew that Zhang Guangsheng had killed so many people in Zhenwu City, although he admired Zhang in his heart that Zhang was a well-known bloody man, but diplomatic disputes and troubles were about to follow.

Alas, my Tang is really bleak, even if Xifan, Nanzhao, and Hui take turns to fight, the inner Fang Zhen will not stop.

At this time, Gao Yue sat down and wrote a letter to his wife and children in the house to report his safety, and said that he had Zhi Hui and Wei Daotian to take care of him, and he lived a peaceful and comfortable life.

Writing and writing, Gao Yue remembered someone again.

"Oh, Cailuan Refiner doesn't know what's going on now? I don't know if the entrustment I gave her would be too heavy for her? ”

In the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace in winter, Li Shi really fell into the whirlpool of trouble again, and the news of Zhenwu Zhang Guangsheng's massacre of the Hui Mission had come, and the ministers were also inconsistent.

But even Yan Zhenqing, who had previously fiercely demanded the expulsion of the Hui Hui and Hu Shang in Beijing, thought that Zhang Guangsheng's move was too much, and if the Gulu Biga Khan couldn't bear it and really started a war against our Tang, it would be troublesome.

"I want to unite with Xifan, and the north refuses to return to Hui, how about it?" Li Shi hopes to change the battle line.

Yang Yan came out at this time, "Xifan is cunning and untrustworthy, stealing Helong on the one hand, and encroaching on my Anxi Court on the other, Your Majesty should not be gullible." ”

"I know that Xifan is like this, but I hope to exercise my power to change my strategy and avoid being attacked on both sides."

In the face of the emperor's problem, Yang Yan offered advice with indignation, "Now you can't turn against the Hui, you can degrade Zhang Guangsheng and return to the dynasty, and let Yuanxiu go to the Huiya tent to canonize the new Khan, in order to show my Tang friendship. After stabilizing the Hui Dynasty, it is necessary to coexist with war and peace with Xifan, and seek peace and war, but also know how to seek peace by war. ”

"What about Shannan Dongdao and Huaixi?" Li Shi asked Yang Yan a little anxiously.

It means that you promised me to appease Liang Chongyi and ask him to hand over Fang Zhen to enter the court, but now this matter is always delayed, and Huaixi Li Xilie's request for a crusade against Xiangyang is one after another, and the cry is wave after wave, how to deal with it!

At this time, Lu Qi, the servant of the door, came out of the ranks, holding the wat board in his hand, and said unprecedentedly: "The minister thinks what Yang Zhonglang said is very true." ”

Before Yang Yan could recover his strength, Lu Qi reminded everyone: "Chengde Festival has made Li Baochen sick. ”

These words made everyone in the court bow.

Today's situation in the country can really be described as stormy.

In the three towns of Heshuo, which was regarded as rebellious by the imperial court, Lulong Town, which occupies the northernmost Youzhou, has made Zhu Zhu have been in the court for many years, and his younger brother Zhu Tao has been the queen, although it is still a separation, but he finally surrendered to the Tang Dynasty in name; And the southernmost protruding into the imperial court territory to Wei Bo Town, called the Tianxiong Army, since the first generation of Tian Chenghei, occupied Wei, Bo, Xiang, Wei, Wei, Bei, Lan seven states, the fourteenth year of the calendar Tian Chengsi died, because he thought his son was weak, he passed the festival to his nephew Tian Yue; The town of Ji, known as the German army, was sandwiched between Lulong and Wei Bo, occupying the seven states of Heng, Yi, Zhao, Ding, Shen, Hebei and Cang, and the first generation of Jiedu envoy was Li Baochen.

Li Baochen, who was originally just a Xi man, was adopted as an adopted son by Fan Yangjun Zhang Suogao because he was good at riding and archery, and was named Zhang Zhongzhi, so he could be regarded as having a Han surname, and later became a shooting officer under An Lushan. During the Anshi Rebellion, the Jiujiedu envoy besieged Xiangzhou, Zhang Zhongzhi felt frightened, and felt that there was no future for following the rebels, so he surrendered to the imperial court, but when Shi Siming crossed the Yellow River again, Zhang Zhongzhi immediately betrayed the imperial court and turned to Shi Siming.

It was not until after Shi Siming's death that Zhang Zhongzhi and his deputy general Wang Wujun swayed again, defected to the imperial court, and was given the name "Li Baochen", and his army was awarded the title of "Chengde", and was given the title of Duke of Zhao, and was given an iron coupon (exempted from capital crimes), so he occupied the land of Wuzhou and called the king hegemonic.

At first, the imperial court took advantage of the internal contradictions between Zhu Tao, Tian Chengsi, Li Baochen and Ziqing Li Zhengji, hoping to destroy them one by one, but these towns were not fools, and soon joined together to fight against the imperial court, just as Li Baochen's deputy general Wang Wujun said to him:

"If we help the imperial court eliminate the others (Tian Chenghei), then the Son of Heaven can summon you to the capital with a piece of paper, and you will be reduced to a puppet."

In the end, Emperor Daizong, who was not caught, could only give Li Baochen the title of King of Longxi County and admit the fact of his secession.

Now that Li Baochen is old and seriously ill, it is impossible for him not to think about the future of the entire Chengde army.

Since Tian Chenghei can pass on the position of the envoy to his nephew, why can't I pass on the festival to his son Li Weiyue?

Soon Li Baochen's idea was known to passers-by.

The imperial court naturally knows it, but the current emperor Li Shi can't bear it, he knows that Tian Chenghei will pass on the festival to Tian Yue, which can be said to have opened a precedent for such bad behavior as "Heshuo Fangzhen Jiedu hereditary", this pot can be carried by his father, and now if Li Baochen succeeds in passing the power to his son Li Weiyue, no one else will take this pot, so he can only carry it himself.

Since then, Shenzhou has really been torn apart.

Therefore, Li Shi resolutely would not agree.

Lu Qi said: "You can send an envoy to Shannan Dongdao to tell Liang Chongyi and give Liang Tie coupons, as long as Liang is willing to hand over power and return to the court, Your Majesty will give him preferential treatment, and Li Baochen will have no reason to give and receive the festival privately - if Li Baochen risks the disapproval of the world, His Majesty can raise the whole country to discuss it, if Li Baochen does not dare, then Wei Bo Tianyue, Ziqing Li Zhengji and his son will also be restrained." ”

Lu Qi's words made the emperor nod frequently, and then asked Yang Yan how he was.

Yang Yan had nothing to refuse, so he could only promise the minister to select an envoy to Xiangyang as soon as possible.
