Despite the strong opposition of some courtiers, Li Heng forcefully rejected the public opinion and issued the edict of canonization.

In Li Heng's view, he was just a kind of temptation ≡ probe Zhang Xuān's movements.

If Zhang Xuān made any changes, he would immediately change his attitude and make overtures to Zhang Xuān instead. But in that case, it was also tested that Zhang Xuān did have different intentions, and in the future, when An Lushan's rebellion was put down, Li Heng would immediately attack Zhang Xuān without mercy.

At the same time, Li Heng wanted to firmly grasp the 80,000 people of Qingheng in his own hands, with these 80,000 soldiers and horses, plus Ge Shuhan's Hexi soldiers, even if Zhang Xuān rebelled after An Lushan, he also had some capital to resist.

Li Heng's edict was sent to Liangning Prefecture and Qinghai in the shortest possible time, and Li Guangbi of Liangning Prefecture and Yang Lian of Shaliuhe received the canonization edict at the same time, but the reflection was different.

Yang Lian was taken aback and immediately thought of the seriousness of the matter.

He hesitated for a long time in the study before he took the initiative to give a letter to the court, which probably meant that he was too weak to be so sealed by the court, and asked for his resignation from the title of Marquis of Ningbo.

At the same time, Yang Lian immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to travel 800 miles day and night to urgently deliver the secret report of Tongguan to Zhang Xuān.

Actually, there is probably no need for Yang Lian's secret report, this news has already been sent out by Zhang Xun.

In the Qinghai Governor's Mansion in Liangning Prefecture, Li Guangbi received the emperor's canonization edict, and he was calm on the surface, but he was ecstatic in his heart.

Li Guangbi has always been an ambitious person, unwilling to be subservient∨ before Xuān arrived, he was suppressed by Guo Ziyi, and he was very unhappy in his heart. Therefore, he and Guo Ziyi went toe-to-toe, fighting openly and secretly.

After Zhang Xuān took office, he unified the military and government of Longshuo with a strong iron fist, and paid equal attention to Li Guangbi's grace and power, and the unwillingness and ambition in Li Guangbi's heart were gradually suppressed.

However, as his military exploits grew, he led the army to attack Tubo this time, defeated the Tubo army and horses one after another, and finally directly won the Tubo royal court, supported a puppet Tubo king, and felt that the Tang Dynasty court was unmatched.

As a result, his hopes for power and personal ambitions swelled.

As for Zhang Xuān, he has long been forgotten by him, consciously or unconsciously. In his heart, his talent, prestige and even meritorious service were no less than Zhang Xuān who was canonized by the emperor this time as the acting governor of Longshuo, which was reasonable.

Therefore, unlike Yang Lian's reaction, Li Guangbi wrote to the emperor as soon as possible, expressing gratitude and loyalty.

As a result, Li Guangbi was full of ambition in Liangning Prefecture and was ready to lead his army back to Longshuo at any time and control the entire Longshuo domain.

Tongguan.

Zhang Xuān was reading a book in the study, and Zhang Xuān and Yang Lian's secret reports arrived almost at the same time.

Nan Jiyun hurriedly entered, and said in a complicated manner, "Dashuai, Lord Zhang Xun of Lingzhou and General Yang Lian of Shaliuhe sent someone to send a secret report!" Please take a look! ”

Zhang Xuān was stunned and nodded.

After receiving the letter from Yang Lian and Zhang Xun, Zhang Xuān did not hesitate, first opened one of Zhang Xun's letters, and looked at it.

Immediately the face sè a sè.

What Zhang Xun wrote in the letter made Zhang Xuān angry, but he forced himself to suppress his emotions and then opened Yang Lian's letter.

After reading the letter from the two, Zhang Xuān immediately burned the letter, and his movements were clean and neat.

Nan Yiyun stood below, catching a glimpse of the change in Zhang Xuān's face, but did not dare to say anything.

Although Nan Jiyun didn't see the content of Yang Lian and Zhang Xun's letter, he also learned some news from the person who sent the letter, and probably guessed that what was written in the letter between the two was the same.

Li Heng's "action" this time was too amazing, almost an unscrupulous provocation.

He actually crossed Zhang Xuān and attributed the great victory of the Tangbo Battle to Li Guangbi and Yang Lian, who directly named Li Guangbi as the king of the county, and temporarily replaced the governor of Longshuo, which was equivalent to removing Zhang Xuān from his military post in Longshuo in disguise.

Li Guangbi was canonized as the prince of the county, and concurrently served as the governor of Longshuo, and his status and power rank were almost equal to Zhang Xuān. And strictly speaking, Zhang Xuān's generalissimo of the world's counterinsurgency is a temporary position, once An Lushan's rebellion is quelled, the position will be automatically relieved, and he has lost the military position of Longshuo, which is equivalent to only one prince left.

Nan Jiyun stood on his side in fear, but he didn't "wait" to imagine Zhang Xuān's thunderous anger and violent reaction.

"Nanba, reward Yang Lian and Zhang Xun's messengers for ten yuan each, send them away quickly, don't be in Tongguan." Zhang Xuān waved his hand, and his voice was very gentle.

Nan Jiyun quickly raised his head and glanced at Zhang Xuān, as if he didn't expect Zhang Xuān's performance to be so calm, and he was stunned for a while.

Zhang Xuān said indifferently, "Nanba, didn't you hear Ben Shuai's words?" ”

Nan Jiyun was startled, and hurriedly blushed and bowed down to receive the order, "The last general will obey the order." After Nan Jiyun left, Zhang Xuān's face immediately sank. He slammed the table, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Li Heng's move directly angered Zhang Xuān, and at the same time made him non-factory.

He knew very well in his heart that Li Heng was beating and testing himself through this practice to see his inheritance

When the bottom line is ‖, it is also done for the world's feudal towns and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, in this invisible way

to suppress Zhang Xuān's prestige and power.

If Zhang Xuān behaved as fierce and An Lushan's rebels were current, Li Heng might immediately change his attitude.

Before the mill was finished, did you start to kill the donkey impatiently? Zhang Xuān smiled coldly, end

Got up the tea cup on the table and drank it all, then Huo Ran got up and went out of the study and went back to his bedroom.

But what made Zhang Xuān most angry was not Li Heng's approach, but Li Guangbi's performance. Li Guang

Bi actually An Zhiruo was rightfully named the king of the county and acted as the governor of Longshuo. For Zhang

To put it bluntly, this is tantamount to a betrayal.

This means that Zhang Xuān may not have used the wrong person, but he did see the wrong person. He will defend against Tibet

The defense of the entire Qinghai of Yuhe was handed over to Li Guangbi, and the grace of promoting and recommending it was incomparable. can

In this case, Yang Lian knew that he had shown his attitude to Zhang Xuān to be humble, but Li Guangbi accepted it

Correct.

All this, how can it not make Zhang Xuān angry!

The so-called human heart is unpredictable. After all, he is a man, not a god, and the most difficult thing in this world is to control

The hearts of the people.

On the same day, the news of Zhang Xuān's illness came out.

The generals came to visit, including Li Yu, the king of Chu, and Huo Changqing, the superintendent of the army, as well as the recent arrival

Reward Li Tan, the king of Jianning, who arrived in Tongguan in the name of the three armies.

At this time, Li Heng crossed Zhang Xuān and directly canonized Li Guangbi as the king of Pingfan County and the temporary representative of Longshuo

The governor of the capital, Yang Lian was the Marquis of Ningbo, and Li Guangbi calmly accepted the news that Yang Lian wrote to resign from the marquis

It has been transmitted to Tongguan, causing a shock in the army.

But what Li Heng didn't expect was that he originally tried to suppress Zhang Xuān's prestige, but he didn't expect to do so

directly stabbed the rebound of the Longshuo army, and the soldiers were chilled. More and more soldiers hugged Zhang Xuān

uneven, the voices of dissatisfaction with the imperial court in Tongguan rose and fell.

Zhang Xuān's prestige, influence, and control in the Longshuo army.

Zhang Xuān's prestige in the Longshuo army did not come from the high pressure of power, but through the flames of war

The baptism of the baptism and the growing cohesion of personality charm. Whether it was the invention of firearms, or the war against Tibet

The strategizing, or the style of loving soldiers like a son and the high style of the Grand Duke without si, Zhang Xuān is in Long

The status in the hearts of the Shuo generals is far beyond the reach of a vassal like Ge Shuhan.

The cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks, this is already universal logic. When the emperor used his own practical deeds

moved, and the phantom who was ready to attack the heroes gradually appeared, which still made the Longshuo soldiers disheartened.

Li Heng, who was far away in Lingzhou, did not know the true military heart of Tongguan, but Li Yu, the king of Chu, who was in Tongguan

Huo Changqing, the superintendent of the army, was anxious to walk on thin ice, for fear that the emperor's move would "force" against Zhang Xuān, guide

to mutiny.

With Zhang Xuān's prestige in the army, if he is betrayed by this, he will definitely be yellow robed when he ascends to the heights

With the addition of body, Datang Sheji will be in danger.

Time passed day by day, Zhang Xuān couldn't afford to lie down, closed his door, and handed over all military affairs

Feng Chong and Guo Ziyi. On the surface, the Tongguan army was very calm, but in Li Yu and Huo Chang

In Qing's heart, this is more like a brief calm before the storm.

The news also reached the rebels. An Lushan of Luoyang learned that he was very excited. He stands

That is, he sent an envoy to Tongguan and submitted a letter to Zhang Xuān, saying that the emperor had no way and wanted to form an alliance with Zhang Xuān

Take the world together.

For a time, the morale of the army was boiling, and all kinds of gossip were flying all over the sky. There are quite a few middle and low in the army

The generals and soldiers even secretly clamored to support Zhang Qi as the emperor, set up another imperial court, and An Lushan Fan

The horses of the Yang army divided the world.

Li Yu, Huo Changqing, and even Li Tan were even more panicked in their hearts, and they all had the idea of going.

At the end of November of the first year of Germany.

Zhang Xuān gathered the generals to discuss the matter, and Li Yu, Huo Changqing, and Li Tan naturally attended.

Above the handsome hall, the generals were divided into two sides, and Zhang Xuān walked slowly in with his cloak.

After Zhang Xuān walked to the handsome case, all the generals bowed down and bowed loudly, "The last general will wait to see you."

Handsome! ”

Li Yu and Li Tan hesitated, and then bowed down with the generals.

Zhang Xuān's cold and indifferent gaze swept over everyone, and he smiled indifferently, "Everyone, please be polite, please."

Sit. His Royal Highness the King of Chu and His Royal Highness the King of Jianning, please take a seat. ”

Li Yu looked at Zhang Xuān with a complicated gaze, but did not find decadence and strangeness on Zhang Xuān's face

expressions. Li Tan sighed in his heart and secretly complained that Li Heng was mediocre.

Even if you want to unload the mill and kill the donkey, you have to wait for An Lushan's rebellion to subside, right? In this nowadays

At the juncture, wouldn't it be "forced" to give birth to Zhang Xuān's bad intentions by slapping Zhang Xuān in the face in such a public?

Zhang Xuān sat there, silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled slowly, "Everyone, you are deliberating."

Before, Ben Shuai had a few words in his heart like a pit in his throat, and he spit it out quickly. ”

"Commander, please speak, the last general will listen to you." Feng Chong and Guo Ziyi took the lead in holding fists,

Immediately, the generals got up to cater to it...
