On the fifth watch of the second day, Li Mao came to the outside of Yanying Palace, Jia Tan and Yuan Zi were already under the corridor, but they did not see Du Huangsheng, and the two were taken aback when they saw Li Mao, and hurriedly beckoned Li Mao over.

Yuan Zi quipped: "Is this to worship Maohua's appearance?" ”

Li Mao said with a smile: "Li Mao's talent is still difficult to be a Honglu Shaoqing, how dare he discuss the world's major affairs with Zai." ”

Yuan Zi said: "Don't say that, although Maohua is young, he is still stable in his work, otherwise how could he be so edicted?" ”

Yuan Zi's words seem to be bland, but in fact there is a hidden mystery, and the slightest carelessness in answering will fall into the pit he presets, Li Mao knows that if he talks too much, he must be careful, especially when talking to these officialdom oilers, he must be more careful, so he laughed and changed his words to talk about the weather, Yuan Zi saw that Li Mao refused to be fooled, so he smiled and let him go.

The two prime ministers are not here for idle chat, there are many official affairs to discuss, Li Mao is unwilling to embarrass the two, so he moved to the flower garden under the palace to see the flowers, the Daming Palace in summer is a huge garden, the grass and trees are verdant, the flowers are like brocade, after two hundred years of operation, the Daming Palace is full of scenery, a pair of eyes can not see the end.

Two little eunuchs carried small bamboo baskets and shovels, lying under an oak tree and pulling and pulling for something, muttering in a very low voice, which was not really heard.

Li Mao was wondering what the two were looking for, when someone behind him suddenly coughed, which startled Li Mao, but when he looked back, he suddenly vomited. Tutu Chengguang clasped his hands in his sleeves and shrunk his neck, as if he was spending the winter.

Li Mao said: "Is Chang Shi a cat, why is there no sound when he walks." ”

Tutu Chenghuang snorted: "Regardless of whether I am a cat or not, when did Li Gushan become a gourd with a sullen mouth, why did he hesitate to say a word like gold at a critical moment, and refused to say a word for me." ”

Li Mao frowned and said, "What do you mean by this, why don't I understand it." ”

Tu Chengguang pulled out his hands from his sleeves, stretched his neck, put on a smiling face, and bowed to Li Mao to thank him: "Thank you Gu Shanbo for your kind words for me in front of everyone, I will know the secret when I beat my brother today." ”

Knowing the privy is the acting privy envoy, if there is no accident, it will not take long to become a regular.

On the first shift of this day, Li Chun, who was in a happy mood after a fierce battle with the concubine, made an important decision, and Liu Guangqi, the left privy envoy, was transferred to the Xuanhui Academy, and his vacancy was replaced by Tutu Chengxuan.

The appointment and dismissal of internal officials is not as costly as that of court officials, and the words of the Son of Heaven will take effect immediately, and even a piece of paper will be exempted.

Li Mao was overjoyed and congratulated Tutu Chengxuan, who gave in and lowered his voice: "I received news last night that Liu Pi sent troops to attack Zizhou and took Li Kang. ”

Li Mao was surprised and delighted, surprised that Liu Pi moved so fast, he made a move when he said it, and he caught the court off guard, and he was happy that Tu Cheng Huang was willing to share such confidential information with himself, which was undoubtedly a good start.

Zizhou is the location of the Dongchuan Jiedu Envoy, not far from Chengdu, Liu Pi openly broke Zizhou and captured Li Kang, which is equivalent to declaring war on the imperial court.

Li Mao asked urgently: "Is it war or peace?" Tu Cheng Xuan's eyes rolled, gritted his teeth and said: "It's all bullied to the house, what else is there to say, beat." ”

As soon as the word "type" came out, Liu Xiguang trotted all the way over to invite Li Mao into the hall, and Li Chun had already arrived.

Liu Pi openly challenged, if Li Chun should not fight, he would be a shrinking turtle, the shrinking turtle court has not done it before, and he has often done it since his great-grandfather, and he has a rich family history and very experienced experience.

But Li Chun was determined to abandon his family education and open up another world, so he decided to fight Liu Bi to the end.

Before today's recital, he summoned Du Huangsheng and the two envoys of Duzhi and the transfer envoy, and calculated his family background in detail, and concluded that this battle could be fought, although it was very risky.

At the beginning of Yan Ying's play, Li Chun drew a circle for everyone, and today he only discussed how to fight, how to transfer troops, how to raise food, when to send troops, and where to go. All discussions must be carried out in the circle, and must not be overstepped in the slightest.

Du Huangshang was obviously the most prepared on this issue, and he gushed his views endlessly, and at the end of his generous statement: "The soldiers are very fast, please Your Majesty immediately issue an edict to deprive Liu Pi of all officials and titles, and send troops to fight for him." ”

Li Chun didn't ask Jia Tan and Yuan Zi, his eyes fell directly on Li Mao, and asked: "The imperial court sends troops, will Tubo and Nanzhao help Liu Pi?" ”

Li Mao said: "Nankang Wang Zhen Xichuan for 20 years, with more than 30 battles of two sizes, more than 100,000 casualties, the hatred is as deep as the sea, it can't be easily ended, and the second time will not send troops to help the thieves." ”

Li Chunhuo Ran got up and said to the few Hanlin scholars standing aside: "My mind has been decided!" Immediately drafted an edict to deprive Liu Pi of all official titles, and set it as a rebellion. The court is very happy to ask the teacher of sin, Xichuan generals who can repent of the people, I forgive him, willing to help the court to beg for thieves, there are rewards, those who are obsessed with not understanding and secretly help Liu Shun, the king will come to the day, and destroy the nine clans. ”

On specific issues such as which generals to select, who is the commander-in-chief, when to send troops, and the financing of food, the three prime ministers Du Huangshang, Jia Tan, and Yuan Zi had another battle of words, but Li Chun had already considered this issue maturely, and finally judged:

Gao Chongwen was the commander of the Chinese army, and the camp was drawn through the valley into the river.

Li Xianyi, the commander of the left army, sent 2,000 troops to the south.

With Yan Li, the envoy of Shannan Dongdao Jiedu, as the commander of the former army, he led the troops of the town out of Lizhou and attacked Jianzhou.

With Li Guangyan, deputy envoy of the Hedong Pioneer Army, as the commander of the Right Army, he led 3,000 people from his department to join Liu Wu, the deputy envoy of the Right Weiyuan Army, the commander of the rear army, and 2,000 people from the army to go south through Xingyuan Mansion and enter Zizhou with Gao Chong's Ministry of Culture and Culture.

According to Du Huangshang's request, each army did not set up a supervising military envoy, and Gao Chongwen was the commander of all armies, and all armies were controlled.

The edict was brought to all parties by the Chinese envoy, and Liu Wu got Li Mao's hint in advance, and he was prepared, and immediately took action after receiving the edict, wanting to win the jackpot. However, the soldiers of the Youweiyuan army were soft, and after receiving the edict, they coaxed for a day and a half before pulling out the camp and leaving the city.

Gao Chongwen of Changwu City received the edict at the time, and the army was already on the way, and he touched a flower before Liu Wu.

On the third day after the armies were drawn, Li Chun took Li Mao, the Honglu Shaoqing, as the envoy of the two Sichuan Xuanfu, and went south to proclaim the soldiers and civilians of the two Sichuan.

None of the armies set up eunuchs to supervise the military envoys according to the convention, which was a major choice made by Li Chun from the overall situation at the invitation of Du Huangsheng. Specific to him personally, he was still a little relieved in his heart, and let Li Mao go south as a Xuanfu envoy, in addition to Xuanfu and the people, and plotting against the generals of Shuzhong, he also had the nature of supervising the army.

Because of the importance of the matter, Li Chun summoned Li Mao alone and expressed this meaning to him unmistakably. Li Mao asked Li Chun to give him the right to dispose of it cheaply, and when he encountered a rebellion before the generals, the local officials were perfunctory, and they had the right to deal with them on the spot, no matter who they were, they had the right to cut first and then play.

In order to ensure that Li Mao could carry out his mission smoothly, Li Chun agreed to this request, and assigned Li Mao eight lieutenants to Suiluan, and another fifty forbidden soldiers to accompany him for protection.

Li Mao asked Han Yi and Hu Chuan to accompany him, and Li Chun allowed it, and added Qin Mo and Zhang Qi to take the post and go with Li Mao.

Li Mao resigned and drove out of the palace and "met" Du Huangsheng's protégé Zhang Wu outside the palace gate. Zhang Wu asked Li Mao to go to Pingkangli to talk about it, and Li Mao readily agreed.

Zhang Wu came to invite Li Mao on behalf of Du Huangshang, and it was taboo for the ruling prime minister to meet privately with the minister, so Du Huangshang had to make this decision.

The place of the meeting was a private courtyard of a prostitute's family, Zhang Wu had already wrapped it up, and after Qin Mo and Zhang Qi entered the door, they searched carefully and carefully to ensure the absolute safety of the meeting.

The meeting took place in a private suite, with Zhang Wu, Qin Mo, and Zhang Qi remaining in the outer room, and only Li Mao and Du Huangshang in the inner room.

Li Mao's mission on this trip, Du Huangshang is clear, in a sense, Li Mao's ability to make the trip is still Du Huangshang's recommendation.

He poured wine for Li Mao with his own hands, and Li Mao grabbed the wine jug and poured wine for Du Huangsheng. Du Huangshang sighed: "Maohua don't blame me, I also have a last resort." ”

Li Mao said: "Xianggong should not offend villains, there is a way to rather offend ten gentlemen than provoke villains." ”

Du Huangshang said: "Mingzhe protects himself, the old man is not disdainful, but he is in his position, and he doesn't dare to do it." Du Huangshang drank a glass of wine and sighed: "Since Zhen Yuan, the imperial court has used troops against the feudal towns many times, and has been defeated repeatedly, although the reasons are very different, but there is one thing that is the same, that is, the lieutenant official made a mistake. You can't say that he is worse than others, but it is really not good to fight, with them in the way, this battle cannot be fought, and it will definitely be lost. ”

The eunuch is the eunuch of the supervising army, supervising the punishment and reward of the army on behalf of the emperor, and forming a check on the generals of the unified army, which can effectively prevent the generals from acting arbitrarily and arbitrarily, and curb the rebellion of the army.

Especially in the Zhenyuan period, the eunuchs became more and more powerful, completely depriving the front-line generals of the command, resulting in repeated defeats of the officers and troops, occasional small victories, the credit was stolen by the prison army, and the sergeants could not get the benefit of bleeding and resentment. In the event of failure, the envoy placed the blame on the general.

The imperial court severely punished the generals and lost the morale of the army, and the imperial court despised the generals and lost discipline. If the generals do not want to be unjustly killed, and take the risk to launch a defeat, it will cause greater losses, but let the court mistakenly believe that the army is unstable, and it is necessary to further regain power, so the power of the military envoy is getting bigger and bigger, and the autonomy of the former enemy generals is getting smaller and smaller, and they can't make a decision at the opportunity, and the eunuchs who can't understand the military are at the mercy of the eunuchs, or wait for the order of the court thousands of miles away, resulting in the missed opportunity and a big defeat.

In the long run, a vicious circle is created, forming a seemingly unsolvable dead knot.

Du Huangshang saw through the drawbacks, and came up with a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, breaking this dead knot in one fell swoop, but in this way, he also put himself on the opposite side of the entire eunuch profit group, and even shook the emperor's trust in him.

Du Huangshang sighed and said to Li Mao: "Don't talk about this, I asked you to come because I have something to inform you." ”
