Li Xuanba's words were loud, and the hall instantly fell silent, and everyone's eyes looked at Li Xuanba's side. Huangfu Wuyi was charged with bullying the king, his face became ugly, he blew his beard and stared, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he couldn't say a word. Who would have thought that the idiot would be so sharp-toothed?

The courtiers who are qualified to sit at the banquet, how can there be foolish people, they understand very well that this is a contest between the king of Yue and Zhongyongwei, and it is also a contest of military power, but Li Xuanba has already moved Yang Guang out, and his wish to come to the king of Yue is about to be disappointed.

As the ministers expected, Yang Tong saw Li Xuanba and Huangfu Wuyi looking at each other angrily, and hurriedly smiled and mediated: "You are all for the sake of the country, why do you want to make such a fuss?" Since my father has an edict, we should naturally obey it. However, General Huangfu has no malicious intentions, and the loyal and brave guards need to be calmer. ”

"Weichen roared at the court, willing to be punished." Li Xuanba stood up, saluted Yang Tong, and said impassionedly: "But Your Majesty trusts Xuanba, even if your father is deceived and does something ashamed of the imperial court, Your Majesty is still assured that Xuanba will lead the Xingyang Army, and now General Huangfu and General Liu want Xuanba's corpse vegetarian meal, what is the reason?" Could it be that he doubts His Majesty's decision? ”

When he left Xingyang, Li Xuanba began to think about how to keep the military power, and Li Jing was in charge of leading the army to fight, and Li Xuanba didn't need to think about it, so he spent most of his time practicing. It was precisely because of many days of hard training that Li Xuanba could speak with such emotion and righteous indignation.

Huangfu Wuyi wiped the saliva on his face angrily, quietly took a step back, and opened the distance between him and Li Xuanba, in his opinion, Li Xuanba's saliva was far more uncomfortable than the blood on the battlefield.

"Zhongyongwei is sincere to the court, how can this king blame you?" King Yue looked moved, walked to Li Xuanba's side, took his hand and said: "Today's banquet is for you to catch the wind and wash the dust, and let's not talk about state affairs for the time being." ”

Li Xuanba accepted it when he saw it, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your compassion Your Royal Highness King Yue." ”

did not take back Li Xuanba's military power, and after Li Xuanba's trouble, the delicacies at the banquet lost their taste, and eating them in their mouths was like chewing wax, and the courtiers knelt on their seats, hoping that this farce would end as soon as possible.

Yang Tong kept smiling from beginning to end, until the end of the feast, Li Xuanba hiccuped and left, his face instantly darkened, and he said angrily: "He keeps saying that he is loyal to his father, why is Luoyang besieged for many days, and he has not seen him lead the army to rescue?" Knowing that he was so cunning, how could this king waste these good food and wine on him? The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and he kicked over the desk in front of him, and the chopsticks fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Huangfu Wuyi, Liu Changgong and others also held back the fire, but who would have thought that Li Xuanba would have today's performance? But they just can't deal with it, which really makes them lose face.

"It is rumored outside that after Li Xuanba did not die, he became extremely kind, and he was not greedy for power, and when I saw it today, I knew that the rumors were really just rumors." Taifu Qing Yuanwen squinted his eyes and sighed: "The old minister thinks that for the sake of the stability of the eastern capital, His Royal Highness should put this matter aside for the time being, after all, most of the soldiers under Li Xuanba were trained by Zhang Xutuo, and they are worthy of a big responsibility." ”

"What about Zhang Xutuo?" Liu Changgong said in an unkind tone: "He is not locked up in a prison yet. ”

"What? General Zhang's intention to cling to the Wagang thieves? Li Xuanba returned to the camp, and before he could enter the main tent, he saw Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong and Niu Jinda kneeling outside the tent. When he learned that Zhang Xutuo was imprisoned in the prison by King Yue, he was shocked and thought that he was living in a dream.

It turned out that after the army entered the city, Qin Qiong and others went to see Zhang Xutuo, but saw that Zhang Xutuo's mansion was empty. Qin Qiong and the others naturally didn't believe it, so they half-knelt outside the tent and waited for Li Xuanba.

"If General Zhang will defect to the traitor, Shixin is willing to be punished by cannon branding." Luo Shixin said in a deep voice: "The last general has followed him for many years, and he would rather believe that King Yue surrendered than that General Zhang would betray the imperial court." Qin Qiong and others also expressed their positions.

"Do you believe in General Zhang's character, will Xuanba be suspicious?" Li Xuanba knew that it was not appropriate to be impulsive at this time, so he forced himself to calm down, he frowned and said: "General Zhang is the pillar of the imperial court, the king of Yue does not dare to act without permission, he will definitely inform His Majesty first, it will take some time for the envoy to go back and forth to Jiangdu, General Zhang will not be in danger for the time being, you can rest assured, Xuanba will find a way to find out about this matter." ”

As Xingyang Tongshou for so long, Li Xuanba still has some prestige, Qin Qiong and others also know what Li Xuanba is like, and they no longer embarrass him, plead a few words, and leave one after another.

Fang Xuanling had been silent all the time, and when Qin Qiong and the others came out of the big tent, he looked at Li Xuanba, who was deep in thought, hesitated for a moment, and said calmly: "Childe, King Yue framed General Zhang, making him unable to control the military power, this may be Childe's opportunity." ”

As soon as Qin Qiong and the others arrived in Luoyang, they took the time to visit Zhang Xutuo, which was not a good signal for Li Xuanba, although he respected Zhang Xutuo very much, but he was unwilling to return the Xingyang Army to Zhang Xutuo's hands, at least not at this time.

"Not long after my father raised his army, His Majesty's envoy appeared in Xingyang." Li Xuanba didn't answer Fang Xuanling's words, but suddenly mentioned Tang Guogong, he said: "Taiyuan is so far away from Jiangdu, why does the envoy appear so quickly?" Has the sir thought about this question? ”

"It's to be expected." Fang Xuanling didn't have the slightest surprise, nodded and replied: "Tang Guogong has a large army in his hands, how can Your Majesty rest assured?" Tang Guogong waved his army south, but His Majesty no longer worried about the Turks, at this time to send troops to relieve the siege of the eastern capital, the timing was just right, but unfortunately there were some variables. ”

"General Xue borrowed the river, and Dou Jiande mistakenly thought that General Xue wanted to conquer him, so he took the lead in attacking." Li Xuanba smiled bitterly and said, "Who could have predicted such a variable? Now that Xue Shixiong has died, it is meaningless to talk about these things, Li Xuanba shook his head and continued: "What Xuanba is worried about now is whether His Majesty asked me to come to Luoyang, whether there is any intention of house arrest, otherwise, how dare King Yue have the idea of taking away the military power in my hands?" Then he told what had happened in the palace.

"Xuan Ling thinks that King Yue's move was not instructed by His Majesty." Fang Xuanling replied without hesitation: "The last time Liang Xiao returned to Xingyang from the Eastern Capital, he never mentioned General Zhang, so it can be seen that General Zhang was not imprisoned in the prison at that time. His Majesty asked Gongzi to lead the Xingyang army to rescue the eastern capital, and the king of Yue was worried that General Zhang would retake charge of the Xingyang army, so he would do such a mediocre thing. ”

Compared with Zhang Xutuo, King Yue certainly believed that it would be easier to take back military power from Li Xuanba.

"General Zhang is loyal to the imperial court, and if the king of Yue wants him to hand over his military power, he only needs an edict." Li Xuanba understood, and sneered, "But if he wants to take away the Xingyang Army from me, his mouth is not enough." ”

"So Xuan Ling said, this is an opportunity." Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "The opportunity to make Xingyang Army truly belong to the son." ”
