Guli Peiluo's posture is not semi-serious, he will never allow Su Hudong to make a mess again this time.

He repeatedly warned Su Hudong that Zhang Xuān was different from Guo Ziyi's son, and if he offended Guo Ziyi, Hui Hui would still be able to hold on, but if he offended Zhang Xuān and made Zhang Xuān, a powerful vassal above 10,000 people under the Tang Dynasty, lose face, the consequences would definitely not be sincere, and it was not something that Hui Hui could afford.

If Zhang Xuān was ordered to lead the Longshuo army and horses to conquer the Hui Hui, presumably the combat effectiveness of the Hui people would definitely not be as good as that of the Tubo people÷ who were all played by Zhang Xuān in the palm of their hands and got a large piece of land, not to mention the Hui Hui whose national strength was too much weaker than that of Tubo.

Although Su Hudong is xìng obvious and xìng is strong, he is not the kind of person who doesn't know the general situation.

When she understood in her heart that her marriage involved the future and destiny of her country, she didn't dare to act rashly.

At the very least, on the way to Chang'an, Su Hudong lived in a simple house, hiding in the carriage and honestly becoming a bride to be married.

When the troops of Zhang Xuān and Jianyu Wang Li Tan arrived in Longzhou, the Hui Khan also led his men into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the strength of the Hui State is weak, and it is a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, Guli Peiluo is the king of a country after all. Li Heng gave Guli Pei Luo a considerable amount of face, ordered the officials of the state capitals along the way to greet him according to the etiquette system, and sent Dong Chang, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, to lead people to greet him.

At this time, the good news of Longshuo had reached Chang'an, shaking the Tang Dynasty and the opposition again, and the city was boiling.

When Li Heng got this report, he could hardly believe his ears. He didn't expect that after a short time, Zhang Xuān brought him another big surprise.

Xingqing Palace, Mingde Palace.

Li Heng got up slowly, stared at the civil and military attachés with an excited expression, and said with a loud smile: "Longshuo has passed on the good news again, and the king of Pingxi once again won the four cities of Tubo and more than ten fortresses for the imperial court, and the land within a radius of five miles has been included in the territory of our dynasty. So far, Zhang Xuān has been a feudal domain in Longshuo, and in less than a year, he has laid down a territory equivalent to the size of the Hexi Domain Town for the imperial court, which can be described in words! ”

The ministers were silent. Some people are excited, some are envious, and some are jealous and depressed∧ with different expressions and complex expressions.

"Yang Xiang, Zhang Xuān's recital is all approved, and the three departments of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War will consult, and we must come up with a plan to reward the three armies in the shortest possible time."

"Meritorious soldiers must be rewarded, and they must be rewarded." Li Heng waved his hand suddenly, "Spread the edict to the world, Longshuo will win another battle against Tubo, and raise the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and the army, and the merit is in Sheji!" ”

"King Jianning wrote to the palace suggesting that a meritorious pavilion be set up for Zhang Xuān and the Longshuo army outside the Anhua Gate, enshrine the portrait of Zhang Xuān and erect a monument to commemorate the world-famous exploits of the soldiers of the three armies for the imperial court to open up territory.

What do you think? ”

Li Henglang said.

The ministers were still speechless.

The establishment of the Pavilion of Meritorious Heroes to enshrine the portrait of Zhang Xuān and set up a monument to commemorate it, of course, this kind of honor is beyond the specifications, but with Zhang Xuān's great merit at the moment, it is also worthy, and there is a precedent in the imperial court.

The so-called reality is overwhelming, in the face of Zhang Xuān's unparalleled military exploits, at this time, even Chen Xuanli, who has always hated Zhang Xuān, and Zhang Jiyong, the head of the household, are speechless, and can no longer speak against Li Heng's gift to Zhang Xuān.

Seeing that none of the ministers spoke, Li Heng glanced at Yang Guozhong and said lightly, "Yang Xiang, what do you think?" ”

Yang Guozhong quietly hesitated, in fact, he was a little opposed to this matter in his heart. Because Zhang Xuān's power and prestige are getting higher and higher, he has faintly overshadowed his posture as the minister of power, if this continues, I am afraid that Yang Guozhong's heart will become more and more committed in the future.

However, as Zhang Xuān's persistent ally, he could not oppose it, at least openly against it. At present, the Yang family already has many people attached to Zhang Xuān, and if Zhang Xuān falls, the Yang family will definitely be hit hard. What's more, if Zhang Xuān falls out of favor, Li Heng will definitely turn to him Yang Guozhong after taking Zhang Xuān.

It's a given.

Therefore, Yang Guozhong said aloud silently, "Your Highness, the minister agrees." King Pingxi is so great and brilliant, if the court does not praise it, it will make the heroes chill. Moreover, there are precedents in the imperial court. ”

Li Heng nodded, turned his head to look at Chen Xian, Chen Xuanli, and Zhang Jiyong, and quietly smiled, "Chen Xiang, Chen Xuanli, Zhang Shangshu, do you have anything to say?" ”

Chen Xian smiled and bowed down, "Your Highness is wise, and the old minister agrees." ”

Chen Xuanli and Zhang Jiyong glanced at each other, gritted their teeth, and lowered their voices: "The ministers also think it's appropriate." ”

Li Heng laughed, Huo Ran got up and said, "Since that's the case, it's decided." Chen Xiang, immediately ordered the Ministry of Industry to supervise the construction of the monument of the meritorious heroes of the pavilion at the same time, and at the same time, the edict was passed on to the world, and Zhang Xuān was renamed the king of Yongning, Shangzhu State, and the general manager of the march of the four towns of Longshuo, Hexi, Anxi, and Beiting, knowing all about the Tang Dynasty's resistance to Tubo and pacifying the state affairs of the Western Regions! ”

As soon as Li Heng said this, including Yang Guozhong and others, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked, gasped, looked at each other, and didn't know what to say?

It is not uncommon to change the title of king, anyway, the prince is just a title, and the imperial court often changes the title of the vassal king: the general manager of the march of the four towns of Longshuo, Anxi, Beiting, and Hexi, but it is amazing, which is equivalent to giving Zhang Xuān the power to control the soldiers and horses of the three feudal towns of Ge Shuhan, Yang Qi, and Cheng Qianli, and handed over the entire Tang Dynasty to Tubo and many border military affairs in the Western Regions to Zhang Xuān.

Controlling such a vast geographical area, half of the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xuān will shake half of the sky of the Tang Dynasty if he stomps his feet.

In this way, under the imperial power, only Zhang Xuān is alone∨ xuān is powerful, and no one can compare.

Chen Xuanli and Zhang Jiyong immediately knelt on the ground, and were about to express strong opposition and ask Li Heng to take back his fate, but at this time, Li Heng had already brushed his sleeves away, leaving only the ** eunuch to shout slowly: "Retreat!" ”

Li Heng walked happily and walked out of the Mingde Palace.

His son Li Tanjijing successively occupied the book, which illustrated Zhang Xiao's loyalty to Li Hengwei's Donggong lineage. From the moment he received Li Tan's recital, Li Heng decided to push Zhang Xuān to an unparalleled peak of power.

The reason why he took the opportunity to strengthen Zhang Xuān's military power was, on the one hand, of course, a reward for Zhang Xuān's meritorious service, and on the other hand, it also represented his "true" mentality at the moment. Although he had some slight suspicion of Zhang Xuān in his heart, Zhang Xuān still unremittingly supported his important minister Dongliang who ascended the throne, and with Zhang Xuān's military exploits and prestige at the moment, he was given greater and more military power.

Li Heng had already made up his mind to ascend the throne and become emperor around the Shangyuan Festival, the Spring Festival of the thirteenth year of Tianbao, and Zhang Xuān's support for him was crucial.

In reality, since then, Zhang Xuān has proved his ability and strategy to Li Heng, to the Tang Dynasty, and to the people of the world with iron-like reality.

Yang Guzhong walked out of the Mingde Hall with a heavy heart and went home. He felt very uncomfortable in his heart, Zhang Xuān at this moment was too powerful, and it was not something that he Yang Guozhong could control at all.

On the main hall just now, Li Heng strengthened Zhang Xuān's military power and did not leave time for the ministers to oppose it, which had already shown his firm attitude≥ but it was difficult for Li Heng to push Zhang Xuān to a higher place.

Yang Guozhong suddenly woke up, I don't know that once upon a time, this young magnate who could be used, borrowed, and cooperated in his opinion had slowly surpassed him and became the object that even he had to look up to!

From now on, in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xuān can be said to cover the sky with one hand! Yang Guozhong sighed and entered his own mansion.

Chen Xuanli and Zhang Jiyong did not leave the palace, and were ready to admonish with death and ask Li Heng to take back his fate.

You must know that both of them are Zhang Xuān's political opponents, and every rise in Zhang Xuān's power is enough to form a fatal threat to the two.

However, the two of them were not fools, and they also saw that Li Heng's attitude was very firm, so they did not go to see Li Heng indirectly.

Instead, they connected some of the civil and military ministers of their own factions, and more than a dozen people knelt outside the door of Li Heng's dormitory crying and shouting, making a big move.

Li Henggang was about to be fortunate to be a beautiful palace maid that he had only recently fallen in love with, but he was suddenly disturbed by Chen Xuanli and others, and he was very irritable.

Of course, he knew why Chen Xuanli and these people came.

Li Heng sat there, his face slowly sank for a long time, and then he slowly waved his hand, signaling the eunuch to bring Chen Xuanli and the others into Lou Chen Xuanli and the others into the dormitory, and each knelt down in front of Li Heng with a puff, shouting, "Zhang Xuān is already in power, if he restricts the military and political power of the four towns, he will become the second An Lushan one day... At that time, the court will raise tigers, how can it be embarrassing? For the sake of the safety of the society, the ministers begged His Highness to take back his life! ”

"Your Highness, don't raise tigers for trouble......"

"Your Highness, the lessons ahead are not far away, so you must be on guard......"

Chen Xuanli and others wept bitterly and knocked repeatedly.

Li Heng glanced at them with some disgust, but said indifferently, "Zhang Xuān is talented and martial, and no one can compare." The palace asked him to control the soldiers and horses of the four towns, and he also used the strength of the people, in order to stabilize the defense of my Tang Dynasty, resist Tubo and pacify the countries of the Western Regions. Why make such a fuss? ”

Zhang Jiyong was about to raise his head to argue a few words, but he heard Li Heng angrily reprimand, "Zhang Xuān is in Sheji, and as a courtier, what is the intention of the jealous hero?!" Zhang Xuān will not become the second An Lushan, the palace is not suspicious, and the employment is not suspicious. This palace has its own opinions, so you don't need to say more. ”

"Zhang Xuān has repeatedly opened up territory for the imperial court, such a minister, if the imperial court does not increase the use, it can only mean that the prince of the palace is too mediocre. Okay, you will all get up to the palace, and this matter will be stopped, and you must no longer make noise in the palace, and you will all leave the palace! ”

After Li Heng finished speaking, he waved his hand coldly and said, "Stand down!" ”@。
