Chapter 38: The Traitor

The rule of Zhenguan is the first Taiping rule in the annals of history after the unification of the Tang Dynasty.

A generation of male lord Li Shimin, the last choice of the successor, is known for benevolence and filial piety of the fourth son Li Ye, at first fortunately, in a group of old ministers and their own conscientious governance, the country is also thriving, known as the "rule of Yonghui".

But as a result, the power fell into the hands of a harem woman, and even Guozuo could not be kept, which almost made the Tang Dynasty follow in the footsteps of Sui and die in the third generation.

Fortunately, not long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the people's hearts are still there, and the emperor was finally restored, and the next two emperors are all a virtuous, benevolent and filial piety, and there is no talent for governing the country, his father Li Dan is a rare person in the Li Tang royal family, and he is not concerned about power, not only directly appointed him as the prince, but also abdicated in the second year to make way for Xian, to be a real emperor, which has more than 40 years of prosperity.

Li Linfu is right, the Tang Dynasty is a strong regime, supporting a king without a wrist, will pay an unimaginable price, among his descendants, there are very few who have experienced the power struggle, the current prince is under the attack of the other party, and he has no power to fight back, if it is not for his own protection, the end will be no different than the previous prince.

"The old minister knows that he is not a virtuous minister, the art of governing the country is not as good as Yao and Song, and the talent of the auxiliary is not as good as the two zhang, the sage sets things right, and purgizes the dynasty, such as the old minister, such as the old minister, can only be for His Majesty's minions, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, the power of the ministers is made by His Majesty, the tiger dies and the claws fall, and the people die and the government rests, Your Majesty wants to do whatever he wants, you can choose someone to use it, but the old minister is only afraid that he has learned the form of the minister, and has not seen his heart."

This is the words of the heart, Li Longji knew that the two were not in harmony, but he didn't expect that when they were dying, they still didn't forget and gave each other eye medicine.

"The world says that the ministers are traitors, only know that every time they welcome the king, appoint private individuals, but these private ministers of the ministers, in exchange for border tranquility, after this great victory, the people will no longer have the pain of displacement, the people are happy, the country will prosper, this is the reason that is not easy through the ages, the court has nothing to do, the place has nothing to do, it is the country and the people."

"Your Majesty just asked, how is the crown prince? Lao Chen can only say that there are hundreds of people in the heavenly family, and there is no one in ten thousand who is as talented and intelligent as His Majesty, and there is no one in ten thousand, which is not the fault of the royal family, but the peace has been peaceful for a long time, and he has lost the heart of victory. ”

The old guy's ability to meet the horse is the best choice, Li Longji has to admire, such a sharp and sensitive question, only he can answer it thoroughly, and praise himself by the way.

Li Linfu's meaning is obvious, the prince really has no ability, but the rest of them are only afraid that they are not as good as the prince, this mind is exactly the same as what he thinks, no wonder the other party can stand for twenty years without falling, just this figurative kung fu has been superb.

More importantly, when he was young, he thought about it, and when he was old, he didn't want to toss anymore, Li Linfu understood this kind of thought, so he would tell him bluntly.

"Yang Guozhong is not available?"

"Lady clan, you must be loyal to Your Majesty, who else can you use without him?"

Li Linfu replied bluntly, Li Longji expected that he would have a follow-up, and couldn't help but look him in the eyes, wanting to hear what kind of turn it was.

"He suddenly ascended to the stage, he must want to do something, Chen Xilie is the only one who can't be controlled, looking at the government and the opposition, there is one old minister who can recommend to His Majesty."

"Who?"

"King of Dongping County."

Li Longji stroked his chin and cleared his beard, and when he opened his mouth, he guessed probably, when Li Linfu said it, he had to secretly praise in his heart, when it comes to playing with power, it is true that no one can beat it, Yang Guozhong has a lot of blood, but his wrist is too far behind.

I have to put a head on him, so as not to clean it up when I get it, and I can't please the lady, but it backfires.

Although history has deviated from the trajectory, Li Linfu still died in November of the eleventh year of Tianbao, but the arrival of the Son of Heaven in person, the sacrifice of the prince, the death of a hundred officials, the posthumous gift of the county king, Yin and his descendants, and the three days of leaving the dynasty can be described as extremely glorious.

The only regret may be that he couldn't wait for the soldiers and horses to return to Beijing, and Yang Guozhong, who is considered by everyone to be the successor, just saw this scene.

He rushed back from Shuzhong, and unlike the history books, because the victory came too thoroughly, he failed to receive the edict to return halfway, but stayed in Jiannan Jiedu Mansion for a month, and was waiting for the soldiers to march into Nanzhao, but suddenly received the news that the other party had surrendered the whole country.

The key is that Nanzhao did not send a letter of surrender to him, the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, who was close at hand, but ran all the way to the hinterland of Tubo and went to take refuge in Ge Shuhan, who was far away in Helong!

After a lot of hard work, all for others to make a wedding dress, this breath, choked Yang Guozhong can not go up or down, extremely uncomfortable, and so on to receive the news, non-stop from Shuzhong, over the Qinling Mountains all the way back to the capital, the first thing to see, is the huge return of soldiers and horses.

Ge Shuhan, Feng Changqing, and Cheng Qianli, the three Jiedu envoys who arrived and lived together, each with about 1,000 tooth soldiers, escorted hundreds of descendants, hurried all the way, took two months, and finally arrived at Chang'an City in the last month of the year.

The purpose of doing this is naturally to be happy, the New Year is coming, and there is a big victory, this gift is enough to make the whole Chang'an City sensational, when the soldiers and horses enter the city, the city is empty of thousands of people, and the people are crowded aside early, competing to witness this rare victory.

That's the Zampu of the Tubo people, a Xiaoqiang who can make the Tang Dynasty respond from time to time, has added a lot of blockages to the Son of Heaven, how many Guanzhong people, relatives are buried on that plateau, and now, finally waiting for the moment of raising eyebrows, how can you miss it.

Although it is a prisoner gift, in fact, there is no shackle on the car, the reason is, of course, that the other party can be regarded as a loss of sincerity, and it is not that the country is captured.

When a long line of people wearing foreign costumes walked through Suzaku Street, especially the two golden-crowned men who walked in the forefront, the enthusiasm of the people was immediately ignited, and the sound of praise resounded in the sky above Chang'an City, and even the post house outside the city could be heard clearly.

"Brother Shu Lao'er, how can this be!"

Listening to these sounds, Yang Guozhong in the post house was irritable, and even if he closed the doors and windows, he couldn't cover it, so he couldn't pretend that he couldn't hear it.

"Perhaps it is no wonder that Dr. Geshu is in this matter, as far as a certain know, there are other people who have attacked the city all the way." Rarely to the direction but not to do so.

"Who else but Ge Shuhan has such ability?"

No wonder he didn't believe it, Helong had the most prosperous soldiers and horses, there were as many as 150,000, and what they couldn't do, how could other towns succeed.

"Anxi Town, Feng Changqing."

"Who?"

"It's a cripple who was secluded by Gao Xianzhi as a subordinate."

Xian Yuxiang, who had been staying in the capital to inquire about the news, handed a copy of the newspaper to him, and said with a solemn face.

"It turned out to be him."

After reading it, Yang Guozhong defended the piece of paper into a ball and said hatefully.
