"It doesn't seem to be legal." Although Cai Tingyu is loyal to the imperial court, he also knows that it is unlikely that the prince and prince of my Tang Dynasty will be able to leave the cabinet, and it is even more difficult to really go to the military town of Jingyuan to be an envoy.

But Zhu Jun had already received the prompts of Gao Yue and Wei Gao, so he said to Cai Tingyu with a straight face: "Alas, what is Sima saying? In the past, Emperor Xuanzong decided that the king of Linzi was in difficulty, so he was jealous of the clan and did not order him to leave the cabinet. During the An Lushan Rebellion, the clan suffered its fish and meat, and more than 100 princesses, princes, princes, princesses, concubines, and concubines from the Princess, the eldest princess of Huo Guo, and the princess clan who did not leave Beijing, were all slaughtered in the Chongrenfang Rite Courtyard. Why? Because it is gathered in one house, how to protect it in case of difficulty!

and that the kings should be scattered among the states, and that each of them may be saved, even if it is not of any benefit to the kingdom. And at the time of the Su Dynasty, the Zhongguan held the forbidden brigade, the flying dragon horse, and the internal eunuch usurped the succession, all by the hands of the eunuchs. ”

Cai Tingyu frowned and said: "Overkill is not necessary to be overcorrected, Your Majesty can also use the side branch clan, such as the heir Cao Wang Gao." King Shu is His Majesty's dearest and beloved person, if there is any mistake in the town, how can it be good. ”

It turned out that Cao Wang Gao, the heir of Cai Sima, that is, Li Gao, the descendant of Cao Wang, the grandson of Taizong, was the assassin of Hengzhou, and was later framed by Xin Jinggao, and after being rehabilitated by Yushitai, he now replaces Xin as the Hunan observer envoy, and has quite a political voice.

Another example is Li Mian, who holds a heavy army and is highly trusted, and is currently the commander of the three cities of Heyang in the Biansong Dynasty (the envoy of the general festival), and is also the great-grandson of Li Yuanyi, the thirteenth son of Tang Gaozu, King Zheng, and can be described as the prime minister of the clan.

Zhu Jun said bitterly: "Now the country is in trouble, one is divided by the strong rebels, and the other is controlled by the palace to the middle officials, who can Your Majesty rely on if you don't rely on the clan at a critical juncture?" According to Zhu's opinion, the Ten Princes' Mansion and the Hundred Grandchildren's Courtyard do not need to be abolished, and the princes and grandsons inside are as good as before, but how can the kings of Fang today have no talents? If you have nothing to do, Your Majesty can choose two or three, entrust state affairs, divide the division, and strengthen the emperor's prestige. If it is so claustrophobic for a long time, it will not only hurt the flesh and blood, but also be discussed by the world, which can be said to be more than worth the loss. ”

Slowly, Cai Tingyu understood Zhu Jun's plan (which was actually made up by Gao and Wei):

Most of the princes and grandchildren still stay in the "Ten Princes' Mansion" and "Hundred Grandchildren's Courtyard" next to Anguo Temple, living the life of high-ranking prisoners;

But His Majesty can choose two or three of them who are more talented, more loyal and reliable, and go to local prefectures, counties, and military governments to exercise and see the world, so that in case the country is in trouble, you can't just rely on loyal ministers like me Zhu Jun, these close relatives and clans that focus on training can come in handy (you see that Cao Wanggao and Li Mian's ability is okay, and that Feng Wang Li Heng will become a mentally handicapped waste when he is raised in the Ten Princes' Mansion);

These two or three princes who are out of the cabinet are not allowed to open the palace privately, recruit hearts, and can choose one or two loyal and reliable ministers to assist in supervision;

After that, in the courtyard of the Ten Princes' Mansion and Hundred Grandchildren, those who are more distant in kinship, or who are over sixty years old, can be released, and the Zhuzhou Shangzuo (that is, Beijia and Sima, who have a good fortune but do not do anything) can be old-aged, and the children born to them can also be discharged from the hospital and allowed to marry, so that the burden on the court's finances will also be greatly reduced-as long as Your Majesty does so, not only will he be able to accumulate good deeds, but the sea will also be happy.

Of course, in the end, Zhu Jun said the real goal:

Li Mo, the king of Shu, is the oldest among the kings and the most virtuous in quality, and I heard that His Majesty wants to grant him the ambassador of Jingyuan, Anxi, and Beiting Xingying, so you might as well let King Shu come to Jiezhen in person, and Fu Menghao, the king of Shu, will follow as the deputy envoy of Jiedu.

Cai Tingyu was also moved by these words, and finally agreed to Zhu Zhu to draft a seal and submit it to the imperial court.

In addition, Zhu Jun asked Cai Tingyu with concern, what kind of seal does my younger brother Zhu Tao have with the imperial court in Youzhou recently?

Cai Tingyu truthfully replied that now that Li Baochen is on the sickbed, his life is hanging by a thread, and as soon as he dies, the fire will be lifted.

Zhu Tao also expected that there would inevitably be a contest between the imperial court and Li Baochen's father and son and Tian Yue of Weibo Town. Therefore, Zhu Tao also secretly went to the table and asked Ying to crusade against Ji Town and Weibo Town, but the conditions were still similar to Li Xilie: I hope that I can give back the official and divide the spoils and territory.

"Hmph, what is the difference between Zhu Tao's behavior and Li Baochen, Li Zhengji, and Li Xilie's generation?" Zhu Zhu sighed to Cai Tingyu, saying that the land of Heshuo has the largest number of soldiers and the strongest strength in Youzhou Lulongfang, and it is long overdue to completely submit to the imperial court! Don't do anything else that harms your offspring.

Zhu Jun also specifically mentioned, "Zhu Sui, the son of my brother Zhu Tao, has long been a jinshi in the imperial court rite test, and he should have repaid the tribute to the Holy Lord a long time ago." ”

Cai Tingyu, who was close to the imperial court, was very moved by this, but he didn't dare to believe Zhu Jun's statement in front of him, so he tentatively said that since the king of Suining County had such an idea, he should write to your brother in person.

"What's so difficult about not saying one letter, even ten letters and a hundred?" Zhu Zhu was impassioned and did not push, he asked Cai Tingyu again, "You also know that Zhu Tao's personality is not as good as mine, he is the most rebellious and fierce, so if you want Lulong Eleven Prefectures to return to the imperial court, you must not be rash, and it is best to win step by step." Sima has any plans, you can tell me frankly. ”

Cai Tingyu was completely moved by Zhu Jun at this time, so he happily spread out the paper on the bookcase, and wrote out the plan for the "return of Youzhou" that he had been planning for a long time.

He didn't notice that Zhu Jun looked at him with his eyes, and under the warm current of kindness, there was a cold ice ballast.

At the time of the winter solstice, several copies of the sparse sheet went to the Daming Palace in Chang'an City.

In fact, the first to arrive was the case of Zhai Wenxiu, the envoy of the Suining Supervision Army, secretly impeaching Gao Yue.

It is said that Gao Yue is good at revitalizing the army, killing and killing the pheasants and Qiang, shaking the Qing, Ling, Ning, and Jing prefectures.

This is Zhai Wenxiu's specialty, he is quite skilled in fabricating crimes, and it was he who advised Li Huaiguang to kill Wen Ruya and other Shuo veterans in one fell swoop.

Not to mention anything else, just raising up the military and making provocations in vain is a serious crime.

Before Zhang Guangsheng killed the Hui Mission, it made the emperor upset, and now Gao Yue has made a fuss about killing pheasants, "This high three drums are more ruthless than Zhang Guangsheng." Zhang killed 900 people, Gao Sangu looked polite, he was still a Jinshi, and the hand that wrote Gu Mo killed more than 2,000 people at once! Emperor Li Shi was really angry, so he asked the people around him: "It seems that there is still a lack of a county lieutenant in Chaozhou now?" ”

If Gao Yue goes again, the team in Chaozhou will be neat and tidy.

But after the impulse, Li Shi felt hesitant again, after all, he cherished the talent of the third year of high school, and now he always cares about the Tuntian where Yuanzhou is located, it seems that it is booming, Gao Yue should have a reason to kill pheasants, right?

So he summoned Yang Yan, Yan Ying, and Lu Qi to inquire about the matter.

Lu Qi and Yan Ying were silent.

Because the matter of the third year of high school is a bit big, Lu Qi Mingzhe protects his life, and he will not accompany the third year of high school in this regard.

But it was Yang Yan who took the initiative to justify Gao Yue's behavior.
