But what Guo Xi said, including what Li Xilie said, actually has no evidence in the eyes of the imperial court.

Speaking of this "rebellion", Liang Chongyi, the envoy of Shannan Dongdao, has something to do with an unjust case in Tang.

The protagonist of the unjust case is called to Yao, after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the rebels swept through Hebei and Henan, and approached the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty Jianghuai, Laijiao was still mourning for his father, and immediately rode to Yingchuan to defend the city after being appointed by the imperial court.

Later, Yao went to the east to fight in the west, and together with other Tang generals, he made great contributions, and was promoted to the Shannan Dongdao Jiedu envoy, and the town of Jingjie was in Xiangyang City. However, after the Anshi Rebellion gradually subsided, the Tang Dynasty began to be suspicious of the heavy military in various places, and Lai Yao was naturally no exception. But Lai Yao resisted, let the soldiers under his command collectively go to the court, and "retain" himself to continue to town Xiangyang - this made Tang Suzong very angry, and soon after Suzong died, Daizong succeeded to the throne and wanted to come to Yao to move the town of Huaixi, but Lai Yao found a reason to delay and refuse.

In the end, Daizong secretly instigated Laiyao to march Sima Pei Yi to attack him, but Pei Yi was defeated by Laiyao, and the captured Pei Yi was escorted to the capital by Laiyao, Daizong was ashamed and angry, and wanted to appease Xiayao, so he gave Pei Yi to death (well, exile first and then death, the place is Lantian Yi, the familiar recipe is familiar taste).

After Pei Yi's death, Lai Yao also had some uneasy conscience, and in the end, he left Fangzhen out of the ethics of a Tang courtier, entered Beijing to apologize to the emperor, and was appointed as the secretary of the military department, Tongping Zhangshi, and served as the mountain envoy together with the left servant Pei Mian.

As a result, the following year, Lai Yao was framed and killed by the eunuch Cheng Yuanzhen, and the history books said that Daizong was "blinded".

When the news reached Nanyang, the garrison troops originally arranged here were scattered, and only Liang Chongyi, the general under his command, took the opportunity to kill back to Xiangyang, and the other two generals Li Zhao and Xue Nanyang were elected as the new Jiedu envoys, and Daizong had to admit it. After that, Liang Chongyi gathered 20,000 elite soldiers, seized Xiang, Han and other seven states in Shannan, set up an ancestral hall for Laiyao, and colluded with Wei Botian Chenghei, Ziqing Li Zhengji, Chengde Li Baochen, etc., to resist the order of the dynasty - Daizong's move not only could not take back Shannan Dongdao, but created a new secession town.

On the other hand, Huaixi Town, which is adjacent to Shannan East Road, has been playing the imperial court since Li Xilie expelled Li Zhongchen and replaced him, and he has been constantly playing the imperial court to crusade against Liang Chongyi, and the two towns are almost the same.

Now Guo Xi openly exposed Liang Chongyi's "rebellious conspiracy" to the emperor's car on the large furnishings of Hanyuan Palace, which is known all over the court.

Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang, who came from Huaixi, once again asked the imperial court for help, willing to be the vanguard of counterinsurgency.

The war between the central and Shannan provinces seems to be imminent.

Just when Li Shi asked for advice, Prime Minister Yang Yan strode out, saying, "When the minister returned to Beijing from Daozhou, he passed by Xiangzhou and talked with Liang Chongyi. ”

"Oh?" Li Shi on the rope bed did not say anything, he asked Yang Yan to continue.

"Liang Chongyi told his ministers that he was not willing to divide the territory, just because he came to the court in the past, and was killed the following year, and he had been disobedient for many years, how could he dare to abandon Fang Zhen and return to Beijing?"

"What does Yang Qing think?"

Yang Yan's long hair fluttered, he picked up the wat board, and immediately asked the emperor to say, "The minister has promised Liang Chongyi at that time that he will definitely face the holy lord after returning to the court, please forgive him and the soldiers of Xiangzhou, and promote his return to the court as soon as possible." ”

"That'...... It's also very good......" When Li Shi said this sentence, there was actually a certain gap between what he thought in his heart.

Li Shi's heart was already full of dissatisfaction, this dissatisfaction was against Yang Yan, "It turns out that Liang Chongyi is rebellious or not, I am a town or a fu, it all depends on your little Yangshan people's personal promise in the past?" ”

But Yang Yan didn't notice Li Shi's drastic changes in his heart at all, he started from his own opinion, thinking that Liang Chongyi was roughly regarded as a faction of "evil order", and his strength was also the weakest among the four towns (Weibo, Chengde, Ziqing, and Shannan), but he just wanted to protect himself, and unlike the Heshuo rebel town, he could still fight for pacification. As long as the problem of Liang Chongyi can be solved without bloodshed, after that, the imperial court will send troops to Guandong and suppress the other three square towns, and there will be no worries.

And the Guo Xi and Wu brothers shouted, "Your Majesty, Liang Chongyi has already complemented each other, if you don't make up your mind to calm down, you will definitely suffer endless harm!" ”

"Shut up!" Yang Yan was furious, and he wanted to punish Guo Xi, of course, for falsely accusing Fang Zhenjieshuai.

But Emperor Li Shi stopped him, as long as he said that he would hand over Guo Xi to Yushitai, and it would not be too late to deal with it until the matter was clear, and said that Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang would return to Huaixi for the time being.

Before the Wu brothers could argue, Yang Yan sneered and said to them: "Don't think that I don't know the thoughts of Caizhou, but it's a pity that now the Holy Lord has found out that your plan will not succeed." ”

So Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang could only retreat with hatred.

Soon, at the Imperial City Xiantai Office, the Imperial History of the Three Academies stood under the Mandu Hall, the Imperial History Doctor Cui Ning and the Imperial History Zhongcheng Lu Qi were sitting on the couch, discussing the trial and punishment of Guo Xi, and the other judges: Dali Temple Cheng Tian Jin, and Li Zhou in the door also entered the Imperial History Terrace, and there was another "three envoys to interrogate".

At this time, Shi Gaoyue, the palace attendant, was in the queue, and he glanced at Yuezhang and Lu Qi, which meant "Li Zhou is Yang Yan's henchman, and he is the monitoring eyeliner sent by Yang Yan." ”

Cui Ning and Lu Qi also understood, and after inviting Tian and Li to sit down, they discussed the handling of Guo Xi.

Lu Zhen, the superintendent of the imperial history, suggested: "Guo can be temporarily placed in the Daming Palace guest province, and it will not be too late to deal with it after the envoy sent to Xiangzhou clarifies the situation." ”

But Gao Yue immediately turned out and said in the court, "Guo Xi framed the marshal for no reason, hoping to provoke a military disaster, even if he is not punished, he must go to Lingnan for a long time, otherwise Liang Chongyi is already suspicious, even if he sends an envoy to go, he will only talk and not speculate." ”

Cui Ning, Lu Qi, and Li Zhou immediately nodded together, and Dali Temple Chengtian Jin saw that the three of them all nodded, and he was also busy nodding.

In this way, Guo Xi's ending was decided, and he was sentenced to exile for 5,000 miles, and went to a county under Chaozhou to become a county lieutenant, and he was imprisoned in Yushitai Prison that night.

In the small courtyard outside the prison, Gao Yue, who was straight tonight, looked at the fire shining at the gate of the prison opposite, his mind was not yet calm, he walked around, and he was still planning step by step.

The exile of Guo Xi was just a step in his plan.

Although Guo Xi's accusation of Liang Chongyi's rebellion was an "accident", the Wu brothers represented Li Xilie, the envoy of the Huaixi Festival, and they would definitely go to Beijing to discuss Liang Chongyi this time.

Very simply, when the Wu brothers entered Beijing, the personnel in the Huaixi Jinju Academy secretly contacted Lu Qi, and Lu Qi secretly told the Cui Mansion of Shengpingfang.

Therefore, Yang Yan could guess the true thoughts of Huaixi Town, and Gao Yue was even more aware of the fire in advance.
