(Xie: The monthly pass and reward of the three brothers under the sword, such as the floating cloud L, the scorpion flower Xiaomao, and the fire Ming Ai M.) ）

Li Fuguo leaned up and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, if you want to break the current predicament, you must rely on Yang Guozhong's strength. Only by using his Yang Guozhong's strength to deal with Li Linfu can Li Linfu's next plan be difficult to realize. ”

"How? The two of them are in cahoots, and I'm only getting to where I am now, and you don't know it. Li Heng frowned.

"Your Highness, it is true that Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong joined forces to bring down Wang Zhonghei, but the ultimate goal of the two is different. Yang Guozhong was worried that Wang Zhonghei would divide his power, and the purpose was only to overthrow Wang Zhonghe, not the crown prince. Originally, the Yang family and us did not disturb each other, but it was only because Wang Zhonghei entered the political hall that Yang Guozhong was dissatisfied. When His Royal Highness recommended Wang Zhonghei to enter Beijing, the slave maid once advised the prince not to be in a hurry, but unfortunately the prince did not listen to me. In the final analysis, Yang Guozhong is fighting for power and profit, while Li Linfu's purpose is to attack the crown prince, and he wants to pull His Royal Highness down from the crown prince's throne, and he will take the throne of King Shou, which is fundamentally different. ”

Li Heng nodded slightly and said, "That's right, there is really no entanglement between Yang Guozhong and this prince, and we have always been safe." But how can I use Yang Guozhong to deal with Li Linfu for me? With the current situation, Yang Guozhong probably won't come to help me. ”

Li Fuguo said in a low voice: "That's not necessarily, there must be a fight between Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu, now His Royal Highness is being forced into a desperate situation, if Li Linfu really pulls you down from the crown prince and serves King Shou as the crown prince, what good is he Yang Guozhong?" In the future, when the new emperor ascends the throne, he Yang Guozhong has no merit, and he will be coerced by Li Linfu, can Li Linfu still be polite to Yang Guozhong? What is needed now is for someone to remind Yang Guozhong that if Li Linfu continues like this, his Yang family will be finished sooner or later. Once Yang Guozhong understands this, he will definitely protect His Royal Highness and oppose Li Linfu, and will never let Li Linfu pull His Royal Highness down from the position of crown prince, and dominate the dragon in the future. And His Royal Highness gave Yang Guozhong some more promises, promising that after he ascended the throne in the future, his favor to the Yang family would remain unchanged, and Yang Guozhong would do his best to deal with Li Linfu. ”

Li Hengxi said: "What I said is very true, this is exactly the truth. But who can have a showdown with Yang Guozhong? ”

Li Fuguo said: "Yang Guozhong trusts Wang Yuan very much, so Wang Yuan is this suitable person." If we talk about this matter ourselves, it will be explicit, and it is the best way to let Wang Yuan give Yang Guozhong a briefing. ”

Li Heng frowned and said, "Is Wang Yuan willing to do this?" ”

"I can't help but be unwilling, if he refuses, he will break the net and disclose his identity as Luo Yimen. Anyway, there is no way out, just burn the jade, Wang Yuan is a smart person, and he will not fail to understand that the prince has no way out. At this time, he didn't come out, so he taught him to die with us. ”

Li Heng was stunned and said, "This ...... This ......"

Li Fuguo sighed: "Your Highness, no one wants to die, but sometimes it is also a way to put it to death and live later. In such hesitation, the prince can't live if he wants to. Now is the time for the fish to die and break the net, and there can be no more indecision. ”

Li Heng was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "That's it, it's up to you." ”

Li Fuguo nodded and said: "This is the decisive state, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be fearless." The slave maid planned to go to Jiannan in person and have a showdown with Wang Yuan. At this time, if he doesn't come out to share the prince's worries, he will betray the prince, so he doesn't want to stay out of it. ”

Li Heng said: "Very good, he will know our attitude if you go in person." ”

Li Fuguo said: "This is one way, and another way is on our own." Li Linfu is not dead, it is a big trouble for His Royal Highness, this old thief has done a lot of evil, and I Luo Yimen must take action. So I asked the prince for permission for the slaves and maidservants to lay out a plan to slaughter the old thief. As soon as the old thief dies, the world is peaceful. If the old thief does not die, the prince will not be able to sleep. ”

Li Heng exclaimed: "Do you want to assassinate Li Linfu?" ”

Li Fuguo said: "Doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want the old thief to die?" ”

Li Heng gritted his teeth and said: "I also want to eat, I want to sleep, I also think about dreams, and I don't want the old thief to die all the time." But the old thief just doesn't die, so what's the point? Assassinating him is very risky, and once he misses, he will lose everything, and his father will never tolerate it. ”

Li Fuguo said coldly: "It's still the same sentence, put it to death and come back to life." Kill the old thief and the world will be peaceful. Of course, caution is needed and there must be no signs of it. Your Highness can rest assured that the slaves and maids will never be reckless and impulsive, and they will only make people act when they find the right opportunity. In short, His Highness should have never heard of this matter, that is, all slaves and maids did it secretly. ”

Li Heng thought for a while and said, "That's it, the fish is dead and the net is broken, you go and do it, this prince is looking forward to the surprise." ”

Li Fuguo said: "Thank you, Your Highness." Your Royal Highness should not stay in the Shaoyang Courtyard every day to feel sorry for yourself, the more you should walk around and talk and laugh at this time, in order to show that you are open-minded and have nothing to do with things. The more stuffy he was in the Shaoyang Courtyard, the more His Majesty thought that His Highness had an idea in his heart, and that he should go to see His Majesty from time to time, just like on weekdays, whether it was to say hello, or to beat his legs and rub his shoulders for His Majesty, in short, as if nothing happened, so as not to arouse His Majesty's suspicions. ”

Li Heng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say." Fuguo, when I talk to you like this, my heart can be regarded as open. I don't know how I'm going to live without you. If I ascend the throne, I will make an exception for you to command the hundred officials and lead the government. Only a faithful man like you can do things for me, and I can rest in peace. ”

Li Fuguo bowed down and shouted: "Thank you Prince Longen, the prince rest assured, the slave and maid will definitely assist you in becoming the emperor, and the slave and maid will do their best to plan for the prince and never give up." ”

……

Throughout the New Year, Wang Yuan was paying close attention to the news from the imperial court and Bison City. In terms of the imperial court, Wang Yuan's fate had already foreseen, and his downfall was inevitable, because he was targeted by Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong at the same time, these two people are unscrupulous people to achieve their goals, so Wang Zhongsi can't escape.

Hearing the news that Jiyang named Wei Lin was secretly playing Wang Zhonghe's remarks, Wang Yuan laughed loudly. These methods can be regarded as the most indiscriminate, and grasping sensitive topics to slander and spread rumors is Li Linfu's usual method, and this time it is a repeat of the old trick.

The only thing that made Wang Yuan feel relieved was that after Wang Zhonghei was unlucky, the three major jiedu envoys under his jurisdiction did not fall into the hands of An Lushan. If An Lushan grabs another place, An Lushan is afraid that it will immediately turn back. This is the only thing that makes Wang Yuan happy.

Bison City actually touched Wang Yuan's heart even more, and in the months after capturing Bison City, there was no sign of a counterattack by the Tubo people around Bison City. But in this first month, the Beacon Outposts scattered around Bison City have found no less than seven or eight Tibetan horses. Liu Dehai had already ordered people to return to Chengdu several times to report to Wang Yuan, fearing that the Tubo army would launch an attack on Bison City.

Wang Yuan was so anxious that he should have rushed to Bison City after a month and a half to take a look, but a letter from Yang Guozhong from the capital dragged him in Chengdu. Yang Guozhong wrote a secret letter before Shangyuan, informing Wang Yuan that the imperial court was unwilling to defeat Shibao City, and was afraid of organizing a new round of crusade against the Tubo people, which might involve the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Dao, and said hello to Wang Yuan in advance, asking Wang Yuan to be psychologically prepared.

Wang Yuan was speechless about the actions of the imperial court, why did he have to compete with the Tubo people, and refused to give up after suffering such a big loss, Xuanzong didn't know what to think. Is face really that important?

However, under the current situation, if the Jiannan Army was really ordered to participate in a new round of the war against Tibet, it would be extremely beneficial to Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan can openly ask the court for supplies, weapons, armor, and war horses, and make a fortune from the war. It can also take the opportunity to ask for an increase in the number of troops. In short, if it is really inevitable to attack Tibet, Wang Yuan will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to salvage a fortune. And Wang Yuan will never let the Jiannan Army be cannon fodder, and he will never let the Jiannan Army gnaw hard bones unless it is absolutely necessary. Because if a new round of crusade against Tibet is carried out, the scale will inevitably be larger than the last one, and no matter from which point of view, the Jiannan Army is not the main force.

Therefore, Wang Yuan patiently waited for the news of the imperial court, but fortunately, the matter at hand was busy enough, and the scale of the workshop that made thunderbolt cannons expanded. Large warehouses for storing grain in various parts of Chengdu will also begin to expand. Liu Xunzhi had already purchased a large amount of grain from the grain-producing places in the south and sent it back, and Wang Yuan planned to build hundreds of large granaries in Chengdu to store these grains. Therefore, things such as site selection, construction, guarding, and so on need to be personally inquired about by Wang Yuan. Many people don't think so, food is cheap like grass mustard in Datang, Jiannan can't eat up the self-produced grain every year, I don't know why Wang Jiedu still sells grain. But Wang Yuan went his own way and strongly promoted this matter.

The annual bumper harvest has made Datang's grain prices low to a trough. Originally, each bucket hovered around fifteen wen, and the grain price in the grain-producing land was as low as thirteen wen per bucket. One stone of grain can be obtained for only one hundred and thirty wen. This is already the lowest grain price since the Tang Dynasty, and it is the best time to eat. Wang Yuan allocated a large amount of money to eat a large amount of grain, and he hoped to fill hundreds of large granaries in Chengdu City, which one day would be more expensive than gold grains.
