3. Make a guest as a guest

Immediately after Huaixi Town, it was Li Shigu, the envoy of the Pinglu Army, whose backyard in Luoyang was also "full of firepower", and the wingmen of Yan, Qing, and Yunzhou were in an endless stream on the post road to Chang'an, raining down on the imperial court, impeaching Gao Yue, and saying that the imperial court had already had an agreement with the Kanto: not to renovate a city, nor to send a section of envoys.

But now I heard that the emperor was going to send Gao Yue out of the town of Huainan, and it was clear that he would stop us, and I had never been disobedient to him over the years, but Gao Yue had repeatedly slandered and praised the painting to kill the loyal and good, and I couldn't wait for it, so I asked Your Majesty to cut off the traitors, remove Gao Yuezhong's scholar, withdraw the appointment of the Huainan Jiedu envoy, and flow it to Yuanzhou, so as to resolve the estrangement between us and the imperial court.

The emperor of Daming Palace was furious when he saw Li Shigu's recital, "How dare you do this!" ”

In May, Wang Wujun, the envoy of the Chengde Army, claimed that I was ordered by the imperial court: the boundaries of the two prefectures of De and Di should be clearly under the command of my Chengde, while Li Shigu, the envoy of the Pinglu Army, built Sanchai City in Dezhou, occupied the Clam Duo Salt Pond in Dizhou, and obstructed my administration in these two states.

Immediately, Wang Wujun asked his sons Wang Shizhen and Wang Shiqing to lead 30,000 Chengde troops south to Germany and Di and began to attack Sanchao City.

As a result, as soon as Wang Wujun made a move, Tian Xu of Weibo Town suddenly claimed that Sima Yuanyi, the former assassin of Zhaozhou and the march of the Zhaoyi Army, was framed and killed by the powerful minister Gao Yue and Xiahou Zhongxuan. So Wei Bo's general Nie Feng led 10,000 troops out of Qingzhang and approached Yongnian County, Lisuo, Zhou; Another general, Xing Caojun, led 15,000 soldiers out of Beizhou and approached Xingzhou on the imperial side.

Xiahou Zhongxuan and the general of Shence Longxiang, who was stationed here, gathered his strength, gave up Yongnian and Feixiang, retreated to Linhao City to defend it with all his might, and asked for reinforcements from the imperial court.

Within a month, the entire Heshuo and Kanto were full of wolf smoke.

"Quickly let Hun Xuan, Wang Qianxiu lead Fenghua, and Fengcheng Army to rescue Linhao and stop Tian Xu." The Emperor pointed out.

Then the emperor said: "Li Shigu is not afraid, there are Chengde Wang Wujun, Xu Haosi, Zhang Jianfeng to contain him, and the court will focus on pacifying Huaixi Wu Shaocheng." So the emperor found Wei Zhiyi, Li Jifu, and Wei Cigong, and drafted an edict to all provinces in the Eastern Academy, requiring Shannan Dongdao, Eyue, Biansong, Heyang, Jingnan, Huainan, Chen Xu, Shaanxi, Dongdu, and Jinshang to have a total of 11 soldiers and horses, and each of them urgently sent out their divisions to ask Wu Shaocheng and deprive Wu Shaocheng, Wu Shaoyang, and Li Yuanping.

Bianzhou Supervision Military Academy, Xuanwu Army Festival Envoy Li Wanrong, and Soldiers and Horses Envoy Han Hong, Marching Sima Li Nai, all sat in front of the Prison Army Envoy Ju Wenzhen, with a fierce voice, sobbing and flowing, "Wu Shaocheng actually dared to commit a crime, rebelled against the ground, and when the imperial court used troops, Wanrong was willing to be the forerunner, supervise 30,000 Xuanwu elites, enter Huaixi, and hate for the Holy Lord!" ”

Ju Wenzhen was very moved, so he stamped the seal of the superintendent on the recital submitted to the imperial court, recommended Xuanwu Li Wanrong as the commander of the East Road, and advocated that Dong Jin be the commander of the West Road with the Shannan East Road Jiedu to besiege Huaixi Town.

At this moment, in Chang'an City, the emperor once again asked Gao Yue to write the Jinluan Palace and preside over the military opportunity against Huaixi.

"Your Majesty, now you and I have seen it clearly, dealing with Xifan, Nanzhaoyi, and dealing with the difficulties of Guandongfang Town......" In the east hall of the Jinluan Palace, Gao Yue sat on the Yin seat and said to the emperor with a sigh.

The Emperor also nodded, saying that I had learned this dilemma many years ago.

"It's Chen Yue who thought about the situation too optimistically before, and always thought that to deal with Wu Shaocheng and Tian Xu, only Chen Yue needs to go out of Huainan, which is as simple as dealing with Xifan, and the soldiers can fight and win victories and recover their hometowns. But these Fang Zhen's interests are entangled, once there is a wind and grass, they will huddle like thorns, if they want to go to Wu Shaocheng, then Li Shigu will be difficult, and if they want to go to Li Shigu, then Tian Xu will rise up, and there are some two-faced people inside and outside the court mixed in, and they will delay and corrupt the big things......" Speaking of this, Gao Yue paused and whispered to the emperor, "Then, according to the prior discussion, the ministers will leave Your Majesty for a while......

Three days later, the entire Daming Palace, and even the entire capital, were shaken.

The emperor issued a document approving Gao Yue's previous resignation and dismissing Gao Yue's Zhongshu Lang Pingzhangshi, but did not let him go out of Huainan, but granted him the official position of the prince's guest, which was "the fourth elder of the square, with the appointment of Liebinyou; Sum up the three graves, and be in the house of books".

"Ji Gong is in full bloom in the Spring and Autumn Period, who would have thought that he would be a guest of the prince!" For a while, officials, chamberlains, and even the palace maids in the wild fox were all discussing this huge personnel change.

But soon someone let go: "Ji Gong is the prime minister, and he is determined to cut the square town for the imperial court." But this town has been rampant for more than 30 years, where is it so easy to cut, how fast it was to draw the fairness of Yuanyi, but it is just a small role, and it really wants to move to the heads of big towns like Wu Shaocheng and Li Shigu, but they are eaten by it. ”

"Fortunately, the Holy Lord couldn't bear it and withstood the pressure, what Wu Shaocheng and Li Shigu asked at first was to demote Ji Gong to Yuanzhou, either to die of miasma, or to be killed by the Fang Zhen assassins, and now to give the prince's guests such a gentle and tranquil three-product disposal regardless of trivial matters, it is really edification."

"When this Ji Gong conquered Western Tibet, he was really imposing, and it can be seen that the Zhufang Towns in the eastern part of the Kanto are much more difficult to deal with than Western Tibet."

"But no, the Holy Lord also wanted to cut Fang Town, cut Fang Town, how about cutting it to the end? Banqian Fengtian City went to ......"

"Silence ......"

When there were many discussions, Lu Zhen was eager to open the coffin, and said to the emperor in the Yanying Palace:

"How can Your Majesty eliminate the rebellion in Fangzhen by deposing Gao Yue, this will only make Wu Shaocheng and others think that the imperial court is weak and can be bullied, and it will become even worse!"

"Lu Jiu, if I leave Gao Yue in the court as a servant of the Chinese book, then there will be no one to sit in Huainan for me, and all the armies will fight for thieves; But if I asked Gao Yue to go to Huainan, the reaction of Li Shigu and Tian Xu was too intense, and now I am no longer the one who only cared about going out of the army and wanting to cut the square town once and for all. ”

"Then ......"

At this time, the emperor suddenly said to Lu Zhen: "Let Gao Yue be the prince's guest and have a quiet time, wouldn't he think about some strategies more proficiently?" ”

Lu Zhen seemed to understand something, the emperor looked at him and nodded, "Before Gao Yue dismissed the prime minister, he asked me to entrust the government to you and Du Huangshang during this period of time, and do my best!" ”

"I understand." Lu Yi picked up the elephant wat at this time and said.

Not long after, the emperor summoned Zhao Jing alone in the Zichen Palace, and said to him very earnestly: "Since Gao Yue has left the political affairs hall, how can the Zhongshu squire be absent for a long time?" I have never forgotten the great merit of escorting Deyang back to China and determining the civil strife in the Uygurs, so I hope that Bai Ma will announce it and grant the Qing to replace Gao Yue, to serve the Zhongshu Lang Pingzhang and calm down the incidents in Huaixi and Ziqing, and the Qing must not shirk. ”
