7. Who is loyal and who is not loyal

"Humph!" The Emperor turned his head away, his expression displeased.

Yang Yan knew that when he said this, he must have wanted to sweep the emperor's interest, but he couldn't help but say it.

If you want to hate, you hate this Li Zhou, and before seeing him off, he told him a thousand times, asking him to be cautious and careful, and appease Liang Chongyi in Xiangyang, but this bastard stayed on the road for two months, it was stop-and-go, stop-and-go, and he kept sending halls to urge, but the post stations along the road were like being enchanted, and all the halls were like mud cows entering the sea without a response.

"Your Majesty, Li Xilie of Caizhou was originally Dong Qin (Li Zhongchen's original name) personal soldier, but he colluded with Wu Shaocheng and Shaoyang brothers to chase Dong Qin to stand on his own.

The emperor sneered a few times, and then pointed at Yang Yan: "Qing is good to say, I have been telling Liang Chongyi the result since last autumn, and I have waited for month after month, until this year, whether Liang Chongyi is willing to enter the court or not!" ”

"Your Majesty will not wait for ...... Even if Liang Chongyi refuses to enter the court, he should be stabilized for the time being......"

"Don't hold steady!" Li Shi couldn't stand Yang Yan's unprovoked push any longer, and waved his hand violently.

It's because you passed by Xiangyang when you returned to the dynasty as prime minister, and verbally promised Liang to appease you, so I can't do anything to Liang Chongyi? In the end, in this universe, is it me who is in charge, or are you in charge?

"You don't need to ask about Shannan anymore, I already have a detailed plan." After the emperor finished speaking, he turned his back on his hand and no longer looked at Yang Yan.

Yang Yan's tears fell like rain, and he paused deeply, what he said below was really all heartfelt words: "Your Majesty...... The best strategy now is to let Liang Chongyi and Li Xilie contain each other, and the imperial court will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and it will not be too late to deal with it after Tian Yue and Li Weiyue are pacified. I also heard that His Majesty ordered the gods in the northwest of Beijing to plan a camp and prevent the autumn soldiers to return to Guandong, gather in Bianzhou, and to add the city of Bianzhou, which is also inappropriate, it will inevitably anger Li Zhengji in Ziqing, and will make Li Zhengji think that His Majesty is gathering troops to increase the city, which is to be unfavorable to him, Li Zhengji and Jianghuai Caoyun are close at hand, if he is in trouble, the court money and silk are cut off, what is the spare strength to level Li Weiyue and Tian Yue? At that time, the tiger and wolf will rise together, and the court will inevitably be overstretched, taking care of one and losing the other, the war will be delayed, and the consequences will be deeply worried. It is better to adopt the advice of the minister, stabilize Liang Chongyi and Li Zhengji first, even if it is to stabilize Li Weiyue, and concentrate on destroying the most unruly Tian Yue first, razing Wei Bo, and then coercing such might......"

Before Yang Yan could finish speaking, Li Shi interrupted him: "Qing is a scholar in the middle school, the deliberations are sparse, and it is not in line with the general situation, so there is no need to say any more." ”

This sentence made Yang Yan's mouth grow long, his face was miserable, and his heart was crazy: he didn't hold back his temperament just now, and he gave everything he thought in one go, but he completely angered the emperor.

The emperor's meaning by this is probably to take off his own phase.

"The call is over, I still have other things to discuss in Lu Menlang, so you can step back first."

Yang Yan could only lower his head, close his eyes in pain, and then picked up the wat board, got up and withdrew helplessly.

After Yang Yan left, Li Shi sat back behind the bookcase, took out the three letters and showed them to Lu Qi.

One is from Liu Yan, the envoy of Guiguan, one is from Cao Wanggao, the Hunan observation envoy, and the other is from Liu Changqing, the assassin of Suizhou.

The content is the same, and they all say that Liang Chongyi must be opposed.

Liu Yan and Cao Wanggao were both ready to recruit and replenish their troops and prepare for battle, while Liu Changqing was the most nervous, because he relied on Liang Chongyi's army to be the closest, and Suizhou was only a lower state, with few food and soldiers, and the city was not repaired.

"Even Liu Yan has been on the table at Guiguan, Yang Yan previously recommended Yu Zhun, the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu who is closest to Liang Chongyi, has not reported any news to Yu Zhen so far, he is blind and deaf, it is really unreasonable!" After the emperor finished speaking, he became angry and slapped the bookcase several times.

"Then Your Majesty can grant Li Xilie as the envoy of Hannan and Hanbei to deal with it, once Liang Chongyi rejects Li Zhou, he can justifiably go into the discussion." Lu Qi took the opportunity to say.

The emperor nodded, but he was still a little worried in his heart, so he asked Lu Qi: "What if Li Xilie asked for the seven states of Shannan Dongdao in the name of repaying Liang Chongyi?" ”

Lu Qi obviously had a plan, and he planned for the emperor:

Once Li Xilie attacks Xiangyang, His Majesty can let Shannan Xidao Jiedu envoy Jia Tan enter Tungu City, Hunan Observation envoy Cao Wanggao into Yueyang, and then send a general to unify the gods and plan the battalion to enter Yu and Shaanxi, called reinforcements, but in fact to monitor Li Xilie. If Li Xilie succeeds, His Majesty will immediately grant one person to be the envoy of Shannan Dongdao and occupy Xiangyang, so as to put an end to Li Xilie's thoughts, and then reward him with money and silk, so that Li Xilie can not only be used to destroy Liang Chongyi, but also let Shannan Dongdao be endowed with wealth into the imperial court in the future, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

"In that case, will the Huaining Army (after Li Shi succeeded to the throne, change Huaixi Town to Huaining) collude with Li Zhengji and also embark on the road of rebellion?"

Lu Qi laughed and persuaded the emperor that Huaixi was surrounded by the towns of the imperial court, and there might have been rebellion capital when there was Bianzhou, but now that Bianzhou has returned to the imperial court, with the number of states in Huaixi, Li Xilie is still not happy to accept His Majesty, how can he have the courage to rebel?

In this way, the emperor was relieved, saying that he would immediately let the Hanlin scholars prepare and give Li Xilie the title of king of Nanping County, so that he could prepare for war as soon as possible.

Later, he talked about King Shu's exit from the cabinet and the matter of Zhenjingyuan.

Lu Qi actually knew it for a long time, but he still pretended to be a deputy concern, and suggested that King Shu could be a director in Baili New Town, "Shu Wang Fu Menghao, Lingtai Ling Gao Yue, and Yao Lingyan after Jingyuan Xingying are all loyal and good people, and with them to assist King Shu, Your Majesty is worry-free." King Shu has been out of town for a year or two, and the people of Jing will be grateful, and after that, they will be dead set on the court, and Liu Wenxi's matter will never appear again. ”

The emperor nodded, and then said to Lu Qi: "Please ask King Shu to come out of the cabinet, it is Zhu Jun's initiative." ”

"The king of Suining County is a first-class loyal minister!" Lu Qi hurriedly praised loudly.

Unexpectedly, the emperor sighed, got up and hesitated for a while, and said to Lu Qi: "Zhu Zhu has been in the court for many years, and he naturally knows his loyalty, and he also promised me that he is willing to write a letter to persuade Zhu Tao of Youzhou to send troops and cooperate with the official army to attack Li Weiyue." ”

"Wonderful!" Lu Qi rolled his triangular eyes and struggled to seduce.

"Zhu Tao's seal has secretly arrived here, and he is willing to send troops, but he also puts forward a condition."

"On what terms?"

"Zhu Tao heard from people on the left and right that Sima Cai Tingyu of Lulong Town (although Zhu Zhu and Cai Tingyu are in Fengxiang, they are still nominally the Jiedu envoy and marching Sima of Lulong Youzhou) tried in vain to support Youzhou, so Zhu Tao hated Cai Tingyu deeply and wanted to kill him, so Youzhou was willing to send troops to attack Li Weiyue."

"Then Your Majesty can give Cai Tingyu death." Lu Qi suggested without hesitation.

These words were so cold-blooded that even Li Shi was stunned, "Cai Tingyu is loyal to the imperial court......"
