The time goes back to yesterday afternoon when Wang Yuan arrived in Chengdu. After Li Mao, the king of life, quarreled with Yan Zhenqing on the street, taking advantage of the gap when Wei Jiansu led Yan Zhenqing to the pavilion to bathe and change clothes, Li Mao hurried to the scattered flower building.

Xuanzong was feeding the fish in the afternoon sun. There are a lot of koi fish in the moon viewing pond, and recently Xuanzong likes to come here to watch the fish and feed the fish, looking at the koi fish that shuttle freely in the pond, Xuanzong sometimes imagines himself as a fish in the water. Since arriving in Chengdu, Xuanzong feels that he is not as comfortable as a fish. The Tang Dynasty was shattered, a year ago it was still full of flowers, and today, a year later, he has fallen to such a point.

When he dreams back at midnight, he often returns to the hundred gardens of Xingqing Palace. Wander among the flowers and linger among the silk bamboos. In the dream, of course, the shadow of the dream of the heavenly fragrance is indispensable. However, the shadow was always swaying in the vague sea of flowers, and she couldn't call it and couldn't catch up.

Xuanzong often thinks of the day on Ma Weipo. Although it was a nightmare, Xuanzong could not avoid that terrifying day. It would be wrong to say that he had no regrets about his choice that day. Although he has always been a person who will make mistakes and never want to admit mistakes. But when he recalls the situation of that day, Xuanzong will still be ashamed of his cowardice. If he hadn't succumbed to the coercion of Chen Xuanli and others that day, and hadn't given the will to the concubine to die, maybe his mood would be much better today. However, he still made a will, and he still gave the concubine two white silk.

Xuanzong admitted that his move was ruthless, but how could he abandon the country for a woman, and how could he anger Chen Xuanli and others for a woman and put himself in a dangerous situation. He is the emperor, and the emperor has the emperor's choice. However, to this day, when he thinks that Yiren has passed away and he can't see her in his dreams, Xuanzong feels that he has nothing to love and feels painful.

Xuanzong spent his life in such a contradictory psychology. Especially after coming to Chengdu, the situation has changed dramatically. Although the ministers are still respectful, there is no difference in appearance. But Xuanzong knew very well in his heart that Datang had reached the point where it was now, and his prestige was not as good as before. In the hearts of the courtiers, he is no longer the wise and martial saint master in their minds. He pampered An Lushan and caused a shocking disaster, and he ordered to kill the concubine in Ma Weipo in order to survive, these behaviors have exhausted all the majesty and reputation he had accumulated before. Now he is just a partial lord under the protection of Wang Yuan.

But Xuanzong was unwilling in his heart, he couldn't bear the current situation, and he couldn't let himself fall to the point where he is today. I once single-handedly created the glory of the world's most powerful country, and I was a monument in everyone's hearts, how can I tolerate myself falling into today's predicament? If you have not been admired by thousands of people, you have never been a wise god. But after decades of glory, suddenly falling from the clouds to the dust, this huge gap is heart-wrenching.

Xuanzong gritted his teeth and told himself that he must regain his prestige and return to the time when hundreds of millions of people in the world looked up. I think that when Emperor Wu was in power, Li Tang and his descendants survived when the dynasty was not in danger, and they regained the throne of the Tang Dynasty. So why can't I go back to my old glory days now? The more times of crisis, the more intense the potential of people can be stimulated. Although decades of comfort have wiped out passion and ambition, at this juncture, the fire of passion has rekindled in Xuanzong's heart, making Xuanzong's dull and chaotic brain turn more flexible.

Xuanzong carefully analyzed the current situation, in fact, to restore the glory of the past, there are no more than two things to do. The first is to quell the rebellion, quickly stabilize the situation in the Tang Dynasty, and then make institutional adjustments. He had realized the great disaster brought about by the excessive power of the Jiedu, and if the situation could be stabilized again, the power of the Jiedu Envoy must be greatly reduced. The premise, of course, is to quell this rebellion. The second thing is to get rid of Wang Yuan's control. Build the power to be absolutely true to yourself and regain your supreme authority.

Since coming to Chengdu, Xuanzong has felt tremendous pressure. There are many sources of pressure, but the biggest source is this Wang Yuan. Xuanzong admitted that Wang Yuan had a great contribution to himself, and if it weren't for him, he wouldn't know what his situation was. If it weren't for him, he would have either been usurped by Li Heng by now, or he would have been exiled to nowhere. But Wang Yuan is a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, everything he does is what he should do, and he has given him enough respect, and he should be humble and grateful as a minister. However, Wang Yuan seemed to be forever separated from him, giving Xuanzong the feeling that this Wang Yuan would never become his loyal courtier like everyone else.

Especially after coming to Chengdu, Xuanzong clearly felt that the people here love Wang Yuan far more than themselves, and the officials respect Wang Yuan far more than themselves. This is obviously unacceptable to Xuanzong. The prestige of a courtier will overshadow the emperor, which is a great rebellion. It doesn't matter if the merit is high and the lord is high, and even surpasses the master in fame and reputation, then this is not a good courtier. This is the minister, a minister who makes people feel a great threat.

What's more, Wang Yuan holds all the soldiers and horses of the current Tang Dynasty, which is the Shence Army that he has been operating for several years. Although it was nominally the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong knew that this army could only be mobilized by Wang Yuan, and even he had no possibility of mobilizing them. This is extremely scary. After An Lushan's previous experience, Xuanzong has long been like a frightened bird. If Wang Yuan had the same dissent as An Lushan, it would be even more terrifying than An Lushan, because he didn't even have the possibility of escaping. He is based on Wang Yuan's territory, surrounded by Wang Yuan's soldiers and horses, and he can't escape by himself.

It would be okay if Wang Yuan showed loyalty like a loyal dog, but this Wang Yuan constantly challenged his bottom line and constantly forced himself to do what he didn't want to do, which made Xuanzong feel more and more unhappy and angry in his heart.

Of course, Xuanzong also understands that he can't tear his face with Wang Yuan. On the one hand, Wang Yuan held the threat of heavy troops, and on the other hand, Xuanzong also realized that if he wanted to put down the rebellion and return to Chang'an, he had to rely on Wang Yuan. I have to say that Wang Yuan is the mainstay of the current Tang Dynasty, if it weren't for him, hundreds of thousands of rebels would have already invaded Shu, and he would have long since known where he was going to flee. In the first battle of Tongzhou, 60,000 soldiers and horses defeated 180,000 rebels, what a courage. After that battle, the situation was immediately reversed, and Xuanzong really saw the dawn of the success of the counterinsurgency. Therefore, Xuanzong tried his best to forbear, and tried to show his trust in Wang Yuan, which was not only the need of the situation, but also a strategy.

Xuanzong did not hesitate to kill Fang Xuan to appease Wang Yuan's anger, although in this matter, Xuanzong felt a great humiliation. Xuanzong did not hesitate to add the position of Xiangguo, so as to show his favor and reward for Wang Yuan, in fact, Xuanzong did not want Wang Yuan to become the Xiangguo of the Tang Dynasty at all. Xuanzong used an extremely low-key and forbearant way to confuse Wang Yuan, but secretly he was always looking for a way to break through this shadow shrouded by Wang Yuan.

Fang Xuanzong's idea of rebuilding the forbidden army was what Xuanzong was eager to do, and Xuanzong knew that in order to get rid of this shadow, he must have soldiers and horses loyal to him. But Fang Xuan, a fool, messed things up, how dare he embezzle the army's salary, which made Xuanzong have to kill him. Of course, the reason for killing him was only to embezzle military salaries without permission and sabotage the counterinsurgency plan. That one was enough to kill him. However, since then, Xuanzong has laid the groundwork, and the crime of killing Fang Xuan did not say that he was convicted because he proposed to rebuild the forbidden army, which means that there was no fault in forming the forbidden army, and the fault was in the misappropriation of military salaries.

A few months ago, when Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi returned to Chengdu, Xuanzong was overjoyed. After a deep conversation with the two, Xuanzong felt Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi's dissatisfaction with Wang Yuan. After he intentionally or unintentionally told the two of them all the things he had done since he arrived in Chengdu, Xuanzong saw the irrepressible anger on the faces of the two. Xuanzong knew that he could trust and reuse these two people. So Xuanzong instructed Li Mao to put forward a proposal to let Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi go to Shuofang in Hedong to recruit soldiers and horses to form a northern road to quell the rebels, and soon agreed to them. Grant two official positions and let them do it immediately.

Xuanzong was not unaware that this move would make Wang Yuan dissatisfied, but Xuanzong believed that this time Wang Yuan did not have any public reason to object. Because this time, Xuanzong did not give Wang Yuan any reason. Food, armor and weapons need to be collected by Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi themselves, and Xuanzong will not touch the slightest material of Wang Yuan's Shence Army, just to make Wang Yuan have no reason to object. The only thing that went out of the ordinary was that Xuanzong ordered Gao Xianzhi to attribute the 20,000 Shuo Fang troops to Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi. This may have made Wang Yuan feel humiliated, but Xuanzong thought that it was worth it even if it caused Wang Yuan's dissatisfaction. Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi must be given some soldiers and horses as hole cards, otherwise it is difficult to say whether they can gain a foothold in the Shuofang area of Hedong.

When Xuanzong learned the news that Wang Yuan was going back to Chengdu, Xuanzong's first reaction was that Wang Yuan was going to come back to Xingshi to ask for guilt. But Xuanzong dealt with it carefully, and even made assumptions about the questions that Wang Yuan might ask. After comprehensive consideration, Xuanzong was confident, and even looked forward to Wang Yuan's return. Xuanzong thought that if Wang Yuan made too much trouble this time, it would expose his ambitions and give him extra points. Of course, Xuanzong was also ready to comfort and compromise, he didn't want Wang Yuan to turn his face because of anger, because he still needed Wang Yuan to work for him.

All in all, for Wang Yuan's return to Chengdu, Xuanzong was full of fighting spirit like a hot-blooded teenager. He was even a little anxious to see Wang Yuan and fight him, anxious to see Wang Yuan speechless in front of him, this feeling had not been felt for a long time.

Xuanzong watched the fish by the railing, but his mind was not on the fish at all, he just wanted to show a gesture. He didn't want to sit in the hall of the Sanhualou and wait for Wang Yuan's arrival, although it seemed to be **, but in fact, it gave people a feeling of attaching great importance to Wang Yuan's visit. Xuanzong just wanted a casual and indifferent attitude to make Wang Yuan feel that in fact, he didn't attach so much importance to him, and he didn't have special arrangements because of his arrival, letting him know that he was just a courtier in his heart.

……

The chamberlain hurriedly came and stood under the corridor to report to Xuanzong: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Shou asks to see you." ”

Xuanzong was stunned, frowned and asked, "Is it just Li Mao?" No one else? ”

The chamberlain hurriedly said: "No, His Royal Highness King Shou is alone." ”

Xuanzong thought for a while and waved his hand and said, "Call him." ”

After a while, Shouwang Li Mao came quickly with an angry expression, came to the corridor and knelt down and kowtowed, "Sons see their father." ”

Xuanzong didn't raise his head, grabbed the fish food in his hand and threw it lightly on the water, polished the fish food, took a cloth towel from the hand of the waiter and wiped his hands, then looked back at Li Mao and said, "Get up." Why are you alone? Wang Yuan: Haven't they arrived yet? ”

Li Mao got up and entered the corridor from the steps, and whispered in Xuanzong's ear: "Father, Wang Yuan arrived half an hour ago. The ministers and the officials also received him. But this Wang Yuan was simply too arrogant, and he didn't come to see his father for the first time, but ran back to his house to reunite with his wife and children. ”

Xuanzong frowned and said, "He went back to the house?" Didn't you say you came to see me? ”

Li Mao shook his head and said, "I didn't say it, I said that he was tired and needed to go back to his house to rest." Father, what are these words? What did he take himself? Does he still have a father in his eyes? His father waited here for him to see him, but he went back to his house by himself. Father, this man has completely ignored my royal authority. Erchen said a few words, and Yan Zhenqing, who came to Chengdu with him, actually quarreled with Erchen. Father, these people have been bought by Wang Yuan, and there is only Wang Yuan in his eyes and no father in his eyes. ”

Xuanzong glared at Li Mao coldly and said, "You and Yan Zhenqing quarreled about this matter?" ”

Li Mao was frightened, and hurriedly said, "Erchen...... The retainers couldn't see that they were so contemptuous of the emperor's authority, so they complained a few words. That Yan Zhenqing grabbed her son and chattered, and what she said was simply hard to hear. ”

Xuanzong said coldly: "What about Yan Zhenqing? Won't you come to see me? ”

Li Mao said: "That's not it, Wei Jiansu took him to the pavilion to change clothes and bathe, and he will come to see him in a while." ”

Xuanzong nodded slightly, slowly sat down on the chair behind him, and asked in a deep voice, "What did Yan Zhenqing say?" ”

Li Mao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The ministers asked them, if Wang Yuan didn't meet his father as soon as possible, did he want his father to go to see Wang Yuan in person?" There's nothing wrong with that, right? ”

Xuanzong frowned and said, "How did he answer?" ”

Li Mao said: "Yan Zhenqing is full of crooked reasoning, what did he say about Zhou Gong spitting out the world, and what did Wang Yuan say about my hard work and high achievements in the Tang Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration for Your Majesty to visit him in person." It is not a shame to say that Your Majesty will go in person, but it will show Your Majesty's grace or something. In short, it was that set of high-sounding rhetoric, but there was no mention of Wang Yuan's faux pas. ”

Xuanzong stretched out his hand and patted the armrest, and shouted coldly: "Sure enough, they are all wearing a pair of pants, and they are talking about such a big truth." How can I go to see Wang Yuan? Could it be that the world is his Wang Yuan's, and Wang Yuan is the lord of the Tang Dynasty? Outrageous. ”

"That's it, these people don't take their father and emperor in their hearts now, and dozens of courtiers watched Wang Yuan go away without any stopping. Seeing Yan Zhenqing arguing with me but not refuting any of them, these people are rotten and rotten into scum. None of them are loyal to my Datang, they only know that they tend to be inflammatory. Father, you must know in your heart what kind of people these are. Li Mao added oil and vinegar to the side, fanning the flames.

Xuanzong scolded: "Stop, you mean that none of the courtiers are loyal to me, right?" You said that in public? ”

Li Mao was stunned and said, "Erchen...... The sons did reprimand them. ”

Xuanzong scolded angrily: "Idiot, if you say something like that in public, aren't you pushing them out?" Although the ministers tend to be inflammatory, what I have to do is to win them over, not push them out. Are you going to make me a loner? ”

"This ...... Erchen ...... Erchen ......," Li Mao scratched his head and said.

"You are acting too unsteadily, for example, in today's events, and you should not say those things in public. You can put it in your heart and look at it, and you can go back and report it. If you speak like that, won't Wang Yuan soon know. Have you considered his reaction when he found out? Xuanzong frowned and said again.

Li Mao pondered for a moment and said, "Father, the more we don't say it, the more arrogant Wang Yuan will become. The meaning of the retainer is to let him know, so that he will be beaten on him. Father, you are too indulgent to him, this man is about to ride on our heads to make a threat, how can you tolerate him? ”

Xuanzong scolded angrily: "What do you know? If you have to have a strategy, how can you be brutal? Even if you are dissatisfied, you can't tear your face on the surface, aren't you tearing your face like this? If I really force him to jump off the wall, what good will it do me? What's in it for the bigger picture? ”

Li Mao bowed and said: "What my father taught me is that the emperor has taught me, but my son really can't bear it." Now, the sons need to explain something to their father, and the sons and daughters didn't dare to say it in their hearts, but now the sons have to confess this matter to their father, because this matter can show Wang Yuan's wolf ambitions. ”

Xuanzong frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Mao whispered
