"Li Yuan?" Yang Guang frowned.

"Your Majesty, Li Yuan's daughter-in-law, Li Sanniang, is Luo Cheng's concubine. Moreover, the minister heard that Li Sanniang is now leading more than 20,000 troops to defend Linyi, and he has made it clear that he wants to confront the court to the end. Yuan Chong and Li Yuan have no personal grudges, these words are just from his position as prime minister.

The Emperor frowned.

Yes, who else can really believe in these days.

Although Li Yuan is also a relative of the emperor like Dugu Yu, he is obviously far worse than Dugu Yu.

Luo Siye is still his son-in-law, but it turned out to be the opposite.

Luo Cheng is his most trusted general, and he is also against him.

"Your Majesty, the biggest enemy of the court today is actually not from those Emperor Liang, Emperor Wu and Emperor Chu, but from Luo Cheng. Luo Cheng is the real confidant, although Luo Cheng has not moved until now, but his momentum has been achieved. Although he was as immobile as a mountain in Liaodong, he made contact with each other. If it weren't for the loyalty of General Dugu before, I was afraid that he would be able to take down Beiping Fanyang without spending a single soldier, and then there would be no one to stop him from entering the customs, and the army would enter the customs and go down the way. ”

Those Liang Shidu, Xue Ju, Li Liang, Shen Faxing, Lin Shihong, etc., are just divided into one place, such as Xiao Miao, who are directly supported by a group of rebel generals, and they are still a mess inside, although such anti-thieves have great momentum, they are actually not terrible.

Prosperity is also in a hurry, and death is also in a hurry, just like many anti-kings who have been exterminated by the imperial court, once defeated, it will be completely over.

But Luo Cheng is different.

Yuan Chong studied Luo Cheng a lot, and found that Luo Cheng had been in Liaodong in the past few years, and he had stubbornly turned a newly beaten barren frontier into an iron plate.

That's the real henchman.

Especially this guy didn't rush to call the king the emperor like other anti-kings, but pulled the king of Qi out to be the emperor, and respected the emperor as the emperor, so that he also played the orthodoxy of the court, and it can be said that it was by this hand that he minimized the internal instability.

"If Li Yuan also votes for Luo Cheng, like Zhang Xutuo, Xue Shixiong, Du Fuwei, Liu Wuzhou, Luo Siye and others, then Jiang is in danger, and Your Majesty is in danger!"

"What am I going to do?"

"For the sake of safety, the first strike is the best."

The emperor was still a little hesitant, he really didn't worry about Li Yuan all the time, but now there were not many people he could use.

"Let's go to Zhao'an Li Mi first, as for Li Zitong, Shen Faxing, etc., if they are willing to accept Zhao'an, I can grant them the position of the Duke of the Kingdom, and let them command the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and the land they occupy will also be under their jurisdiction, as long as they are willing to send troops to encircle and suppress the rebellions of Du Fuwei, Zhang Xutuo, Luo Gui, and Luo Yi."

There are enemies everywhere, and with the current strength of the Jiangdu Imperial Court, it is no longer possible to fight on all sides. Now the emperor can only accept Yuan Chong's suggestion to hit the belly of the heart first, and the trouble of this heart is Luo Cheng and his party.

"Draft an edict to depose Yang Hui, the king of Qi, as a concubine, and list Luo Cheng, Luo Siye, Luo Gui, Luo Yi, etc. as rebels. Those who killed Luo Siye, Luo Gui, Luo Yi and others were all made marquis and rewarded with a thousand taels of gold. ”

Later.

The emperor summoned Li Yuan into the palace again.

The emperor cared about Li Yuan's affairs and asked Li Yuan to handle this matter well.

When Li Yuan left the palace, his back was wet, and the emperor's eyes were full of murderous intent just now.

Back in the mansion, Li Yuan sighed for a long time.

He and the emperor's cousin are actually not a few years apart, but the lives of the two are not on the same trajectory at all, and even their relationship has never been better.

The emperor had always been suspicious of him before, and now he finally used him as his appearance, but he was still suspicious of him.

"Father, what are you sighing about?"

Li Yuan then told his son Shimin about the current situation.

"Your third sister doesn't know why, she is bent on following Luo Cheng to rebel."

Yuan Ji and Jiancheng came in, and after hearing about it, they said, "Father, I think Luo Cheng is very strong now, maybe he can really succeed." ”

"What is the success? Although Luo Cheng is strong and strong, he has no foundation, and without the support of the bureaucrats of the noble clan, how can he succeed? Li Yuan still held his attitude. He thought that Luo Cheng was very powerful now, but Luo Cheng hadn't really sent troops yet, and if he wanted to send troops, his weaknesses would inevitably be exposed.

"Father, the companion is like a tiger, and now the emperor is more like a violent mad tiger, I thought we couldn't stay here any longer, it was better to find a way to leave." Li Shimin suggested.

"Leave, where are you going? I'm the prime minister now, where can I go? ”

"Father, Xiao Yu and Lai Hu'er are also prime ministers, didn't they all leave Jiangdu and go to the place of moderation? Laihu'er went to Pengcheng, Xiao Yu went to Taiyuan, I thought my father could seek to return to Guanzhong. ”

"Guanzhong?"

"Exactly, at present, there is chaos in various places, but Guanzhong is still stable, although there are rebellions in Longyou, Hexi and Shuofang, but none of them have endangered Guanzhong. So my father might as well find an opportunity to leave Jiangdu and go to Guanzhong in the name of going to Guanzhong to transfer troops to King Qin's rebellion. ”

"Guanzhong."

Li Yuan hesitated.

The current Jiangdu is too dangerous, there are rebels on all sides, and Jiangdu has no danger to defend.

"Today, the emperor came to me and talked to me, saying that he wanted me to lead my troops to Jiangnan to Ping Du Fuwei, and also said that after defeating Du Fuwei and recovering Danyang, he wanted to move the holy car to Jiangning in Danyang. I think Your Majesty sees that the situation in Jiangbei is too chaotic now, so he wants to retreat to Jiangnan, intending to be in a corner of peace, thinking that if the north is not guaranteed by then, he also wants to keep the southeast half of the country. ”

"Hmph, if the north can't keep it, how can Jiangnan keep it?" Li Shimin sneered.

"I also think so, so I persuaded Your Majesty to lead the Xiaoguo Army back to Xijing, but Your Majesty said that the road back to Beijing is blocked now, and it is difficult to return to Beijing."

There is Li Mi under Luoyang City, Luo Gui and Zhang Xutuo in Shandong, and Dou Jiande in Hebei.

And to Xijing, the road when I came last time is not open this time.

Because of this past, there were Zuo Caixiang, Meng Rang, Du Fuwei, Lin Shihong, and Xiao Mo who intercepted them.

The emperor is already trapped in Jiangdu, and there may only be a chance to go south.

"There is only the Xiaoguo Army left in Jiangdu now, but most of the Xiaoguo Army is recruited from Luoyang and Guanzhong, how can they be willing to stay in Jiangnan for a long time?"

"I also told Your Majesty about this, Your Majesty said that he planned to give the land of Jianghuai, the young widows who lost their husbands because of the turmoil, to the Xiaoguo Army as wives, and also said that he would give the borderless land of Jianghuai to the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army as Yongye Tian, so that the Xiaoguo Army would settle down in Jiangnan from now on."

"Ridiculous, this is death!" Li Shimin snorted coldly and pointed out the stupidity of the emperor's plan.

Li Yuan let out a long sigh.
