Chapter 144 Candidates for the Governor of the Metropolis

Zhang Xuan returned to the East Palace, and it took most of the hour to come and go.

To tell the truth, don't want Yang Guozhong, even the six people of Ge Shuhan are a little impatient. But the crown prince Li Hengzhi was closing his eyes and recuperating, and put on a posture that Deputy Zhang Xuan would not return and the banquet would not start, and they had no choice but to wait patiently.

It can be seen that Zhang Xuan's position and weight in Li Heng's mind.

Zhang Xuan hurriedly walked into the palace, walked to Li Heng, leaned over and whispered a few words in Li Heng's ear, and simplified the incident just now that Princess Yongmu and King Liang Li Xuan took the children of the emperor to make a fuss in front of the door of the imperial study, as for the scene of Princess Wanchun, it was ignored.

Li Heng's face changed, and he was very unhappy, but he didn't express it.

He smiled and waved his hand and said, "Zizhan, and return to your seat, we will have a banquet!" ”

Zhang Xuan nodded his head, and after returning to his seat, Li Heng waved his hand, silk and bamboo music sounded, and a group of dancers appeared on the stage, performing graceful songs and dances.

It's just that everyone's mind is not on singing and dancing, so they are a little excited to see it.

Zhang Xuan knew it, but he smiled silently.

The imperial court implemented the policy of cutting down the feudal domains and merging them, and reorganized and established the eight major metropolitan governors, replacing the previous ten feudal towns. The scale of the power of the Dadu Domain Town has been strengthened, but the town of An Lushan has been cut off by "pinching the head and removing the tail", and An Lushan is the one who can suffer the most.

Obviously, the imperial court basically came to An Lushan this time.

However, most of the people present agreed with it. Excludes Ellssoon.

In fact, Zhang Xuan, a traveler who is familiar with the historical process, knows very well that although An Sishun is An Lushan's brother, his quality is still a little different from An Lushan.

An Sishun did not have the intention of rebellion, and later did not act against him. After An Lushan's rebellion, the Tang Dynasty dismissed An Sishun from his post as a festival envoy and became the secretary of the household department. Soon he was executed by the emperor, and An Sishun's younger brother An Yuanzhen, the servant, was also killed.

Therefore, Ellssoon's mind is the most complicated. He understood what An Lushan was going to do, but he was helpless. On the other hand, for the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult for him to gain real trust here because of his "surname An".

Li Heng waved his hand, the dancer stepped back, and the music stopped abruptly.

Li Heng and Zhang Xuan exchanged glances, and then cast a humble glance at Yang Guozhong when he heard the news, Yang Guozhong smiled with satisfaction, and also nodded.

With Li Heng, the prince of the prison state, respecting him, Yang Guozhong's vanity was greatly satisfied. It's just that as a political hooligan, Yang Guozhong values interests more. If Li Heng does not refrain from continuing to give him the benefits he deserves in the future, it is not impossible for him to turn against him.

People like Yang Guozhong have no integrity at all.

Li Heng smiled slightly, raised his glass and invited everyone to drink, "Ladies and gentlemen, this palace is ordered to supervise the country, and today I have summoned you here to have a feast and have fun, and the second is to announce the latest knighthood placement of the imperial court." ”

"As we all know, the imperial court implemented the policy of cutting and merging the feudal towns, and integrated and merged the ten major feudal towns in the world into the eight major governors of Anxi, Beiting, Hexi, Longshuo, Bohai, Henan, Fanyang, and Jiannan, and took charge of the Tang Dynasty. The imperial court set up the Governor's Mansion of Rongma, the Governor of the World, and commanded the eight Metropolitan Governors of the world. ”

When Li Heng came here, he paused slightly, and everyone's spirits were immediately mobilized, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen carefully, because it was a critical moment related to personal political interests.

"The king of Geshu County served as the governor of the Hexi Metropolitan Mansion and the envoy of the Hexi Rongma, and was the head of the eight major governors."

Li Heng's words came out, Ge Shuhan let out a sigh, got up and bowed to Li Heng and said, "Brother Shuhan, His Royal Highness Xie Jianguo Longen, Xie Imperial Court trusts!" ”

Li Heng smiled, "The king of Geshu County is a great army, and he is bigger than Sheji, a brave champion, and a young man, so he should be at the top of this domain." ”

"His Royal Highness Xie praised, and the ministers didn't dare to be ashamed." Ge Shuhan knew what he was doing, so he wasn't too frightened.

"An Lushan was originally the envoy of Fanyang, Pinglu, and Hedong Towns, and after it was merged into the Fanyang Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, An Lushan still served as the Metropolitan Governor of Fanyang, and the Mansion was opened with the same division."

The appointment of An Lushan is actually expected, unless the imperial court wants to completely take An Lushan at present, in fact, it is not afraid that An Lushan will rebel, then it can only be so. First soothe An Lushan, and then slowly figure it out.

However, An Sishun also breathed a sigh of relief.

To tell the truth, he was not afraid that the imperial court would move An Lushan, but that An Lushan would take risks and rebel. An Sishun was very dismissive of An Lushan's ambitions, in his opinion, although An Lushan had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it was just a fool's dream to win the Tang Dynasty and change the dynasty to become the emperor.

There is no other reason, An's was originally a Hu person, and it is too difficult to sit firmly in this Han-dominated world.

If An Lushan rebelled, An Sishun's family would be killed. Therefore, in the original intention of Tianliang, in fact, An Sishun vetoed An Lushan's rebellion more strongly than anyone else, but he didn't say it. Of course, it is also white. An Lushan's ambitions will not be curtailed by half a point because of this.

"Cheng Qianli served as the Grand Protector of the Beiting Metropolitan Protector and the Metropolitan Governor of the Beiting Metropolitan Mansion." Li Heng immediately announced that the update of the fastest distribution was reached.

Cheng Qianli got up and thanked Li Heng, "Thank you for the grace of His Royal Highness the Prison State." The ministers guarded the north court, and the cicadas were exhausted to relieve the worries of the court. ”

"Cheng Shuai is a veteran general in the army, with high hard work, and he is also an important minister relied on by his father. The safety of the door of the North Court of the Tang Dynasty is in danger, so it is fully entrusted to Cheng Shuai, and the palace is here, thanking Cheng Shuai for the tens of millions of people of the Tang Dynasty. Li Heng got up and returned the salute.

No matter what Li Heng does, he is also the prince of the country, and now he is the supervisor of the country, like the emperor, so polite and virtuous, Cheng Qianli was greatly moved, silent, and bowed down, "The minister dare not be." ”

"Yang Mi, the commander of the horse, and Yang Mi, the puppet of the horse, the puppet of the puppet, the puppet of the puppet>, the puppet of the puppet, the puppet of the horse, the commander of the horse, the commander of the army, the commander of the puppet duck, the worm of the sword, the sword of the worm, the sword of the duck, the sword of the sword

Li Heng looked at Yang Di with a smile? br>

Yang Tangsheng made up for the pelican and the banana like a banana, thanked His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prison State, and the ministers should have done their best for the imperial court. ”

Li Heng smiled, "Governor Yang invites you." The palace didn't dare to live in this, and Yang Dadu wanted to thank him, so he thanked Zizhan and Yang Xiang. ”

Yang Xian and Yang Guozhong gave a deep salute, "I have thanked the general and Yang Xiang for recommending the grace." ”

Zhang Jie smiled and got up to salute back, "Yang Shuai doesn't need to be like this, Yang Shuai is a talented person in the court, and it is natural for him to contribute to the court." ”

Yang Guozhong laughed, "Brother, my Yang family is famous and handsome, and Guozhong is honored." ”

Today, the people who were summoned by the prince to join the banquet in the main hall of the East Palace were all among the best figures in the army. Like Ge Shuhan, Cheng Qianli, An Sishun and others, they were all famous commanders in the army. Compared with Ge Shuhan and others, Feng Chong and Yan Zhenqing are currently just two characters. Whether it is official position, performance, or prestige, there is a big difference.

At this time, the two of them slowly came back to their senses, and Li Heng was probably announcing the candidates for the governors of the eight major governors in the world...... In that case, what is the purpose of summoning the two of them together? Saddened......

Feng Chong and Yan Zhenqing secretly exchanged suspicious looks, and a thought appeared in their hearts, but they couldn't believe it.

Li Heng didn't look at the two of them, and continued to say indifferently, "Knighted Yang Guozhong is the king of Bohai County, and the governor of Bohai County." An Qingzong, the marquis of Bohai and the deputy governor of Bohai, was knighted Honglu Shaoqing. ”

Yang Guozhong was crowned the king of the county...... Compared with the Bohai Metropolitan Governor who he was different from, the title of the county king was more affordable. Ge Shuhan and Cheng Qianli looked at each other, and sighed secretly in their hearts, knowing that this was the result of a political compromise between Yang Guozhong and Li Heng, or this was the political price of Li Heng to win Yang Guozhong's support.

However, the title of An Lushan's eldest son, An Qingzong, as the Marquis of Bohai and the Deputy Governor of Bohai was really unexpected by everyone.

Isn't it contradictory that the policy of cutting down the feudal merger was aimed at weakening An Lushan's power, but the imperial court was weakening An Lushan's military power while giving An Lushan's son military power? Although he is the deputy governor, he is the actual main head of the Bohai Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the real master of military power.

Everyone looked at each other, only the treacherous and cunning Cheng Qianli was silent and thoughtful.

An Qingzong, the eldest son of An Lushan, was appointed as the marquis and appointed as the deputy governor of Bohai, which was actually the result of Zhang Xuan's proposal and discussion with Yang Guozhong, Li Heng, and Gao Lishi.

The Bohai Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is located in the land of barbarians, which is actually the most inconsequential among the eight major prefectures, and the military strength is weak, and it is easy to be restrained by the local barbarian natives. An Qingzong wants to make a storm in the Bohai region, but the possibility is actually not very highβ˜†At least, it will not be possible within two years.

But such a knighthood can confuse An Lushan. An Lushan will think that this is a kind of compensation from the Tang Dynasty court, and it is also a kind of fear of him.

An Sishun was also taken aback. He never expected that Li Heng, Zhang Xuan, Yang Guozhong and others would make such a move.

Bohai is not too far away from An Lushan's scale of influence, aren't they afraid that An Lushan's father and son will join forces to form a piece of land with Bohan and run it into a country within a country? An Sishun's suspicious gaze fell on Li Heng, then swept towards Yang Guozhong, and finally fell on Zhang Xuan.

Anxi, Beiting, Hexi, Bohai, Fanyang, the eight metropolitan governors have gone to it. How are they going to set up the old man? Is it a loss of the position of a feudal town? An Sishun felt slightly uneasy.

An Sishun slowly raised his head and looked at Li Heng, but then saw Zhang Xuan smiling indifferently and casting a calm glance at him.

An Sishun was moved.

Although the candidates for the governors of the eight metropolitan governors were announced by Li Heng, the prince of the prison state, and the knighthood was announced by the imperial court, in fact, An Sishun knew that this was not a result that Li Heng could decide personally. Behind this, there must be the β–‘shadow of Zhang Xuan and Yang Guozhong intervening in the operation, and it was directly prepared by these two powerful ministers, but it was just announced through Li Heng's mouth and the edict of the imperial court.
