Emperor Li Longji, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tianbao Shengwen, sat on top of the court. After the ministers shouted, they stood in two classes, civil and military. On the right, Yang Guozhong is headed by a group of civil servants, and on the left is a group of generals led by Guo Ziyi. The crown prince Li Heng stood on the side of His Majesty outside the palace. Looking at the long steps of the Tai Chi Hall, Li Heng's mood at this time was mixed. Since the abolition of the crown prince Li Ying, the emperor has ordered himself, the successor prince, to study scriptures and historical books, and is not allowed to participate in politics and listen to politics, and it has been three years now. For three years, he did not enjoy the status and glory that a prince of a country should have, but he trembled everywhere and walked on thin ice. The emperor's father deliberately connived at Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong to suppress him because of jealousy, so the ministers did not dare to get too close to him. A few days ago, Wang Zhongsi was just reprimanded, because he was too close to him. Li Heng really regretted being this prince, it was really not as comfortable as being his own Taiping Zhongwang. Li Heng thought of too many grievances, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red for a while.

Above the court, Li Longji closed his eyes and meditated, and was silent for a long time. The ministers began to whisper, after all, after Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling, the days of His Majesty the Emperor going to court are numbered, and the last court meeting was also a month ago. The ministers were accustomed to the warm quilt in the early morning, but they were not used to it at first glance.

Li Longji opened his eyes, glanced at the civil and military forces under his feet, and said softly, "Where is the prince?"

As soon as Li Long's mouth opened, although the voice was not loud, the court was instantly quiet. When he heard what the emperor said clearly, the court, which had been quiet for a while, was like a small stone falling on the surface of a lake, and there were ripples in an instant. "The prince is here" "What's wrong today"

"Prince Xuan enters the palace!" When Gao Lishi saw that the emperor was looking for the crown prince, he immediately reacted and shouted loudly.

Li Heng was sad at the moment, and when he heard the call in the hall, he hurriedly wiped his tears with his sleeves and walked up the steps quickly.

Li Longji looked at his son who was prostrate at his feet, and his mood was very complicated. Are you really old? Useless? The king of a country in the Tang Dynasty, the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, is it really time to make the virtuous? I'm really unwilling.

"Why is my son crying?" Li Longji saw Li Heng's red eyes, and his mood was even more complicated.

"Back to my father, my sons saw that my father was working hard to manage the government, and he was haggard and distressed, so he was sad." Li Heng quickly cleaned up his mixed mood and dealt with it carefully.

"As the king of a country, how can he not do his best. You stand aside and listen to the government" Li Longji didn't care about his son.

"Hum..." The court exploded again.

Yang Guozhong had some bad premonitions. Those who can do the post of prime minister have real skills. Although Yang Guozhong climbed up by relying on his sister-in-law's nepotism, it is undeniable that his understanding of the emperor is also incomparable to others. He touched the emperor's pulse and did everything to the emperor's liking, so the emperor liked it. Previously, he had been squeezing out and suppressing the crown prince, and he also figured out the emperor's thoughts. But at this time, Yang Guozhong's mind was a little confused.

"The matter of the thief, the matter of Luoyang, what do the Aiqing think? Let's discuss it," Li Longji didn't care at all about what the ministers were thinking at the moment, and said.

As soon as Li Longji's words came out, the hall fell silent, and no one came out to answer. The corners of Li Longji's mouth rose slightly, "Why, Zhong Aiqing is not talking about the excitement." Why is it quiet when the business comes" "Yang Guozhong, you are the right minister, you will preside." Li Longji saw that there was still no one to answer, so he pointed at Yang Guozhong and said.

Yang Guozhong was born as a ruffian, and although he became the right minister, he was not good at these national affairs. If he is allowed to accumulate wealth and power, it is estimated that no one will be able to catch up with him.

"Your Majesty, although Weichen licks the position of the right minister, he is not doing this business. Weichen felt that the matter of the army should be answered by the person who was in the army. Weichen felt that General Guo had been in battle for a long time and must have unique insights. Yang Guozhong replied with a hard head.

You dog, what are you doing besides accumulating money and power? I really don't know how to give birth to this dog thing. Guo Ziyi saw Yang Guozhong naming and asking him to answer, and he was secretly worried in his heart. But he didn't hesitate at all and stepped out of class.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen felt that the thief's rebellion was very sudden. Our army was caught off guard and rushed into battle, so it was defeated. This is also the loss of Luoyang. Guo Ziyi really deserves the reputation of a famous general, and hit the nail on the head.

"Guo Aiqing thinks that I Datang should act next," Li Longji continued to ask.

"Back to Your Majesty, our Tang Army should stick to Tongguan and prepare for battle. When you are not ready, you should avoid going into the army blindly. Guo Ziyi said again.

"Who can guard Tongguan?" Li Longji's face is like sinking water. He wanted to quickly regain the lost territory and behead the ungrateful An Lushan to vent his personal anger. Guo Ziyi's playing is not what he wants. But he didn't immediately deny Guo Ziyi, but continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, at this time, Gao Xianzhi, the general of Tongguan, and Feng Changqing are the most suitable candidates. First, these two people have been in battle for a long time and have rich experience. Two, these two are the first generals to enter the army after the thief rebellion, and they know the depth of the thief soldiers. Third, changing commanders in battle is easy to shake the morale of the army. Guo Ziyi didn't notice the emperor's face, and said to herself.

Mom sells batches, Lao Tzu has not yet cured Gao Xianzhi, and Feng Changqing lost Luoyang's crime. Why do you still let the two of them continue to garrison Tongguan, this is to make Lao Tzu no longer pursue it. Li Longji's face was about to drip water, and he scolded his mother in his heart.

Guo Ziyi didn't notice the emperor's face, but Yang Guozhong did. He was even more sure of the emperor's mind, and the emperor's mind was exactly what he wanted. In other words, Ling Chengna's concubine over there is really a lovely person, and she has been serving herself comfortably and comfortably these days, and she will be happy. Yang Guozhong thought of this on his face, and the lewd smile on his face flashed.

"Your Majesty, the minister has objections." Yang Guozhong quickly cleaned up his mood and went out to play the right way.

"Oh?" Li Longji saw Yang Guozhong come forward to refute, and his face improved a little.

"Your Majesty, this is Feng Changqing's Luoyang Army's Supervisor Bian Lingcheng, who handed it over yesterday afternoon. Your Majesty, please take a look," Yang Guozhong took out Bian Lingcheng's recital from his arms and said. After Bian Lingcheng looked for him, Yang Guozhong did not plan to come forward himself, after all, if the false accusation was revealed, he would also have to be punished, and the key was to affect the emperor's opinion of himself. When he saw the emperor's reaction to Guo Ziyi's performance, he decided to come on his own. This is an excellent time to curry favor with the Emperor. So he quietly took the song back into his hands.

Gao Lishi walked down the steps quickly, took the music in Yang Guozhong's hand with one hand, turned around and handed it to Li Longji with both hands.

Li Longji took the song and looked at it for a while, his face became even more gloomy. Throwing Song Shu down the steps, he said loudly, "Guo Ziyi, you read it to me, this is the person you recommended to me?" ”

Guo Ziyi saw that the emperor was on fire, and his legs trembled a little. He leaned over calmly, picked up the recital on the ground and looked at it a few times, his face became even more gray, "Please Your Majesty, I don't know about these things" Guo Ziyi prostrated on the ground and kowtowed.

Li Longji was really angry, and he panted heavily, "The defeat of Luoyang was an accident, but it turned out to be a man-made disaster. This is an unforgivable sin. ”

At this time, the court, the ministers bowed to the ground, and the birds were silent. Li Longji's hand grasped the handle of the dragon chair and trembled spontaneously.

"Father, don't be angry, it's my Tang Dynasty's worry to be angry." The crown prince Li Heng spoke. The ministers were a little surprised, how could the prince dare to touch his head when the emperor was angry.

"Why aren't you angry, my Luoyang, my army of 60,000. was all folded in by this "After all, it is father and son, Li Longji saw that his son came to persuade him, and he did not reprimand.

"Father, there is a sentence that is not worth talking about" Li Heng saw that his father did not reprimand him, so he had the courage to continue.

"Do you want to intercede for that Changqing?" Li Longji was slightly surprised, when did his son have such courage to dare to play against himself in anger.

Li Heng was also afraid to death in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that the current situation in the court was exactly the same as Li Mi's analysis, if it weren't for Li Mi patting his chest and assuring him hundreds of times, His Majesty the Emperor wouldn't do anything to him. He didn't have the courage to speak out when his father was angry.

"The father is wrong to blame the son, if the letter is as Chang Qing is as said in the song, it must be good to behead him. However, when Erchen was studying scriptures and history, he saw a sentence that said that if he listens to it, it will be clear, and if he believes partially, it will be dark. Erchen believes that the book in the song is only a one-sided statement, and it should be investigated. After Li Heng finished speaking, he bowed to the ground, and he didn't dare to take a breath. He was waiting for his father's wrath.

"How to check?" Li Longji asked.

"Erchen thinks that he should find a few people who knew about Luoyang in the Feng Changqing army and inquire about it." Li Heng was surprised that his father was not angry at him.

"Your Highness doesn't know, the sergeant of Feng Changqing's army must be going back to protect Feng Changqing" Yang Guozhong saw that things were not good, so he hurriedly came out to stop them.

"Xiangguo is too worried, although the sergeant of the Feng Changqing Army is under the jurisdiction of Feng Changqing. But they took the imperial court and were loyal to the Tang Emperor. If Feng Chang Qingguo is as he said in the song, he will definitely lose the heart of the soldiers if he withholds the military salary and beats and scolds the soldiers, and how can the soldiers have anyone to protect him. Li Mi replied unhurriedly.

Li Longji was even more surprised. Yang Guozhong was said to be stunned. The ministers lay on the ground and opened their mouths wide one by one.

"Let's talk about it in detail," Li Longji came back to his senses and looked at his son with relief.

"Erchen asked his father to send a guard to escort Changqing and a group of insiders into the capital for interrogation. Make a decision again. Li Heng was speechless when he saw Yang Guozhong, and a bad breath came out of his chest.

"Your Majesty, how can such a trivial matter bother the palace guards. Weichen can send someone from the criminal department to go. Yang Guozhong was a little anxious when he saw that this matter had developed to such an extent, and he wanted to make amends. In this Manchu Dynasty, there are his people everywhere, and the Criminal Department, which is a judicial institution, is even more so. If the palace guards go, I'm afraid that this matter will be smashed. If you let your criminal department go, you will have the final say on how to do it.

"Father, the affairs of the court should be supervised by the foreign court. But this matter also involves a Bian Lingcheng, this person is a person in the palace, and it may be inconvenient for the foreign court to participate. "Li Mi became more and more courageous the more he fought.

"Let Simo send someone" "You are very good" After Li Longji made a final decision, he looked at Li Heng with satisfaction and said.
