Li Mao was ordered to send an envoy to the outside of the Saiwai, Yang Qi knew that when Li Mao went out of the Saiwai through Fengzhou, he also led the people to be responsible for the vigilance of the mission along the way, but because it was a peripheral guard, he did not meet Li Mao.

Yan Gui carefully looked at the tax bill and asked Yang Qi: "Since we have paid taxes on Zhenwujun's side, is it still necessary for us to pay them?" Yang Qi replied: "It's all Datang's tariffs, just pay one, and the system should not be paid again." ”

Qin Mo said with a smile: "It should be handed over, it should be handed over, the imperial court ordered each province to prepare its own grain, and the brother also said that the Zhenwu Army is the Zhenwu Army, and the Tiande Army is the Tiande Army, so there is no confusion." ”

Yan Gui's face flushed with shame when he heard this, this group of people actually took the Lu cloth from forty years ago to exploit the past business travel, this is simply a big joke in the world!

Yan Gui was furious, and shouted: "Arrest all these scum who suck the people's fat and ointment, and bring them back to the military government to be dealt with." ”

Yang Qi still repeated the strict words and instructed his subordinates: "Surround them and bring them all back." ”

Several tax collectors shouted that they were wronged, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, strictly followed the tax head with a horse whip, and shouted: "You still dare to shout injustice, it is your such nonsense that the notoriety of my Tang Dynasty has spread far and wide, those ghost town homeless people, afraid of the government is better than the horse bandits, have you ever thought about the reason?" You, you scum, ruined the reputation of my Tang Dynasty, making you both descendants of Yan and Huang, but you hate me like an enemy, helping foreigners and poisoning the same clan. It is also you who have set our government and the people against each other, the hearts of the people are scattered, the country does not know that there is a people, the people do not know that there is a country, and the country cannot be restored after more than 40 years of erosion, and you are all guilty of unforgivable. ”

The young man scolded in one breath, his face turned red, obviously it was not often to scold people in public.

Yang Qi lazily said to a few tax collectors who were begging for mercy: "If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for being blind, whose money is not easy to take, you have to take Li Shaoqing's money, the dignified Honglu Shaoqing, can you extort it?" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and when they heard that it was Li Mao in front of them, they hurriedly dismounted and paid homage, calling them juniors.

Li Mao picked it up and said with a smile: "The young man is jealous and hateful, and he has such a big vision, and the people are fortunate." ”

How dare he be strict and strict, his expression is very respectful, and he refuses to say more.

glanced at Yang Qi nearby, Qin Mo was right, Yang Dutou was indeed suffering from eye disease, and the harm was not light.

Tiande army regimental training defense envoy, Fengzhou assassin Yan Li heard that Li Mao arrived outside the city, and hurriedly went out of the city to greet him, he was older than Li Mao, and his status was also comparable, but Li Mao was a big celebrity in front of today, and Yan Li didn't dare to hold it up at all. The close ministers of the Son of Heaven can make people happy with one word, and they can defeat people with one word, but they can never afford to offend.

Although the etiquette was not prepared in a hurry, Li Mao still felt Yan Li's enthusiasm and sincerity.

Being able to go into the city hand in hand with the director of a town, talk and laugh along the way, and accept the attention of thousands of envious eyes, this was something Li Mao couldn't have imagined a few years ago, but now it has become a fact.

Looking at Yan Li's flattering old face, Li Mao sighed with emotion.

Yan Li didn't know about soldiers, which he himself admitted, this is a bit of a problem, Fengzhou, like Zhenwu Army and Shuofang Town, is an important strategic support point for the defense of the nomadic forces in the grassland in the northwest of Tang Jing, and its military status is very important.

Let a person who doesn't know soldiers guard here, what is the reason for the imperial court, this question has always troubled Yan Li, Yan Li can't figure it out, and it is very painful.

Li Mao is the minister of the Son of Heaven, and the relationship with the ruling prime minister Du Huangshang is also extraordinary, Yan Li is eager to solve this mystery from Li Mao.

What is the intention of the imperial court to arrange this, Li Mao can see it clearly, but he must not leak anything to Yan Li. Because the time has not yet come.

A month ago, Yan Li succeeded Li Xihao to Fengzhou a few days earlier, is this a coincidence? No coincidence.

As early as before Li Mao left Beijing, Du Huangshang had told him that Han Quanyi would enter the DPRK after the year, and Han Quanyi had failed to advance in the battle against Li Xilie, which caused the war situation to collapse, and the imperial court lost troops and soldiers, and countless grains and salaries, but it failed to quell the Huaixi Rebellion, and the impact was extremely bad.

At that time, because of the turbulent situation, the imperial court did not investigate Han Quanyi's mistakes out of consideration of stabilizing the overall situation, but expelled several fiercely spoken officials from Chang'an, including a close friend of Du Huangsheng.

Time has passed, Li Xilie has become an ancient, Du Huangshang has become the ruling prime minister, and it is time to settle old accounts.

Han Quanyi must have also sensed the danger, he had to enter the court as a last resort, Xia Sui is located in the west of Beijing, economically self-sufficient, military food and official salaries are all dependent on the support, and there is no capital to confront the imperial court.

But if he is allowed to be arrested, how can Han Quanyi be willing?

From this, Du Huangshang deduced that after Han Quanyi entered the court, he would leave his nephew Yang Huilin to take charge of Xiazhou as the queen, as a bargaining capital with the imperial court.

The uncle and nephew conspired not to divide themselves, but to rely on each other to preserve the glory and wealth of the family

But Du Huangshang didn't want to give him this convenience, according to Du Huangshang's statement, it is not impossible to give the glory and wealth of the court, but the premise is that those who are courtiers must be loyal and righteous, and in the battle of Huaixi, Han Quanyi is really not enough troops and not enough ability to eat a defeat, which is understandable, after all, Li Xilie is a generation of heroes, and people have the capital to dominate the world.

Han Quanyi was at both ends of the mouse, and his own little abacus was in a hurry, but it affected the entire battle situation, this is an unforgivable crime! Time has passed, and sure enough, Han Quanyi is now happily handing over Xia Sui's military and political power, and honestly going to Beijing to eat and wait for death.

He Du Huangshang is not a person with a small belly, as long as the Son of Heaven can tolerate it, he can shut up and not speak.

But Han Quanyi played a small trick of supporting the army and respecting himself, Du Huangshang has made up his mind, and this time he will settle the old accounts and new accounts with Han Quanyi, and he will never compromise.

A few years ago, Du Huangshang asked Li Mao to prepare in advance, once Han Quanyi was as he expected, unhappy and playing tricks, he suggested that the imperial court solve Xiazhou by force, and showed the attitude of the imperial court to other feudal towns in western Beijing: Jingxi is not Heshuo, and if you want to divide yourself, the imperial court will never tolerate it.

In this context, the transfer of Li Xihao, who is tough in the army, and the transfer of Yan Li, who is from a civilian official background, elegant and talented, but does not understand military strategy, seems to have been successfully completed. Du Huangshang didn't want to give people the impression that he couldn't tolerate others, he gave Han Quanyi a chance, if he didn't know how to cherish it, then it was no wonder that he was hard-hearted.

Li Mao judged that if Yang Huilin really took the step of raising troops to rebel, Fengzhou didn't have to do anything, and the food rations of Xiazhou were controlled by the imperial court, as long as the grain route was cut off, the army would naturally mutiny, and Yang Huilin would be captured.

Li Mao couldn't make it clear to Yan Li about this calculation, after all, Han Quanyi had just entered the DPRK, and it remains to be seen whether he will be confrontational or obedient. And although Yang Huilin temporarily took charge of the military and politics of Xiazhou as a queen, it is also reasonable - he was originally the deputy envoy of Jiedu, and in the absence of the envoy of Jiedu, he is qualified to temporarily replace him.
