The next morning, Wang Yuan went to Sanhualou to see the driver, and Xuanzong summoned Wang Yuan in the study. Seeing Wang Yuan, Xuanzong's face was full of smiles, and his complexion had recovered a lot, and his pale complexion had also shown a ruddy color some time ago.

"Seeing that His Majesty's face is ruddy and his complexion is much better, it seems that the minister's worries are superfluous, and the minister is also worried that His Majesty will not accept the water and soil of Shudi." After sitting down, Wang Yuan smiled.

Xuanzong said with a smile: "Shu is a place of outstanding people, and I am used to it here." At present, the operation of the various officials of the imperial court has stabilized, and I have also settled down. You took care of it properly, and I want to thank you. ”

Wang Yuan said: "This is the duty of the minister, Your Majesty always says kind words to make it difficult for the minister to deal with himself." Your Majesty was well, and the minister put down his thoughts. Wei Fang's two ministers are also talented in governing the country, and the yamen are running smoothly, and the personnel affairs are arranged, which really saves a lot of worry. It's much better than the mess when I first came to Chengdu. After a little rest for two days, he was about to lead his army to meet the rebels. According to the information obtained, the rebels are recruiting soldiers and horses in Chang'an, and it seems that they are about to attack Bashu and Longyou in the near future. ”

Xuanzong's smile retracted, and a sad expression appeared on his face, although his heart gradually settled down, but the danger of reality was still there, and when he heard that the rebels were about to attack, Xuanzong still had palpitations in his heart. He doesn't want to be chased away anymore, if Bashu can't stay, then where is he going? Is it possible to run to Nanzhao or Tubo?

"This ...... Wang Yuan, do you have confidence in meeting the rebels' attack? What are the difficulties in personnel, soldiers, money, food and other affairs? Although I know that it is useless to ask, and I can't help you at all, I still want to know what you think in your heart. ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister is still confident. I have ordered the recruitment of the strong men of the refugees to begin the army, and although it will not be of great use for a while, months of training will be enough to make up for the attrition. As for the problem of money and food, it can still be dealt with at present, but after all, the imperial court does not have any financial and tax support now, and it may not be possible to last long. In this matter, I would like to ask Your Majesty to consult with the two ministers and the ministers of the various ministries on how to solve this problem. The two provinces of Shu Di and Longyou are now gathering millions of people, relying on the original little reserves, sooner or later they will sit on the empty mountain. ”

Xuanzong nodded and said: "What you said is very true, I have already considered issuing an edict to order the southern provinces to immediately dispatch grain, grass, money and goods to Shu for emergency relief. It's just that the road is not smooth, and I am afraid that it will have to come from Nanzhaoguo. What I am worried about is whether the Nanzhao Kingdom will turn against itself at this moment, and whether the places where the food and supplies pass through them will be plundered by the barbarians. ”

Wang Yuan said: "Your Majesty can rest assured that the affairs of Nanzhao Kingdom dare to pack tickets, and Ge Luofeng will not be like this." His Majesty was able to think of this in advance, which made the minister's heart very happy. If the money and food from the southern state capital can be delivered, the minister can recruit more soldiers and horses to fight the rebellion. Then money and food are actually not a big problem, and there is only one thing that the minister is most anxious about now. ”

Xuanzong said: "That one? ”

Wang Yuan said: "No matter how many soldiers there are, it is useless, and there are too few handsome talents who can take charge alone." There were more than a dozen generals in the original Jiannan Army, but none of them were handsome. The minister was very worried about this. ”

Xuanzong said: "Isn't it enough for you to lead them as commanders?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "Your Majesty, I am a person who lacks skills, and the battle of counterinsurgency will sooner or later be a multi-front battle, if there is no one who is in charge, the situation will inevitably be difficult." For example, if the rebels are attacking immediately, if the rebels are divided into two routes, one to attack Longyou and one to attack Jiannan, the minister may be able to sit on one road, and who can sit on the other road? I can't think of any of my generals who would give me complete confidence to let them resist all the way. Originally, Li Mi and Song Jiangong could be one of them, but Li Mi was old, Song Jiangong was too indecisive, and the minister thought that they were not the best candidates. ”

Xuanzong frowned and said, "What should I do then?" It's a real challenge. ”

Wang Yuan said: "The minister still thinks about inviting Gao Xianzhi out of the mountain, Gao Xianzhi is an immortal handsome talent, and he doesn't need to be really tyrannical." With him, he and the ministers jointly led the troops to quell the rebellion, and the ministers had no other worries. ”

Xuanzong smacked his lips and said, "I know, but Gao Xianzhi said that he was sick and couldn't lead the troops, and I personally summoned him, but I can't force him to obey." ”

Wang Yuan said: "I think Gao Dashuai is probably still sick, and His Majesty should appease him again." ”

Xuanzong said: "I also know that he is shirking, but he doesn't want to go out of the mountain, I can't kneel and beg him." I know that many people now have opinions about me and don't want to work for me anymore, and I don't ask for them. If the twisted melon is not sweet, there is a talent in heaven, and if you don't want to work for me, I won't ask them. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't talk angry, the so-called heart disease also needs heart medicine." I think Gao Xianzhi's heart disease lies in the fact that Feng Changqing was killed in Tongguan and he was belittled. His Majesty should issue an order to rehabilitate Feng Changqing and posthumously confer an official position. The minister went to his house to persuade him again, and I think Gao Xianzhi would still remember that the emperor's grace came out of the mountain to lead the army to quell the rebellion. Your Majesty, don't take too much care of face, what about being wronged in order to quell the rebellion? Quelling the rebellion and retaking Chang'an and Luoyang is the big thing. According to the minister, Gao Xianzhi is still a person who understands the general situation, and he is not too stubborn. The reason why he is like this is nothing more than to fight for face. ”

Xuanzong pondered for a long time and said, "It's not difficult to give Feng Changqing a peace, but what I'm actually worried about is that Gao Xianzhi may not be under you." If that's the case, I thought about it, let him clean up the old department of Anxi Hexi, recruit some soldiers and horses for him to command, and casually seal him the position of a great general, so that he won't be able to compete with you. ”

Wang Yuan was speechless, Xuanzong really didn't want to do something all the time, he said this not only to make himself feel that he was completely favored by himself, but also to cleverly make some contradictions between himself and Gao Xianzhi out of nothing, and doing so was actually a disguised way to let Gao Xianzhi pull up a soldier and horse that did not belong to his commander, so that he could rely on him in the future, which can be described as painstaking.

"Your Majesty is too worried, if Gao Xianzhi wants to be the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, the minister will give it to him, as long as he can quell the rebellion, the minister will definitely not have an opinion."

"No, no, no, I think of the generalissimo only you are competent, and I will not give it to anyone. If it weren't for you saving the driver in Maweipo, I still don't know what it was and what the situation was. Xuanzong said continuously.

"Your Majesty, don't hide it from Your Majesty, I just went to his house yesterday to have a long talk with him, and Gao Xianzhi didn't mean it. The reason why I say that he has a heart disease is to judge from his words. Otherwise, the minister would not have rashly mentioned this matter again. The minister really doesn't want such a handsome person to be idle at home, not to mention that he still has the heart to serve. ”

Xuanzong's face changed color slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Have you talked to him?" What did he say to you? ”

Wang Yuan knew that Xuanzong was worried that Gao Xianzhi would tell him everything he had said to him when he was summoned that day, so he smiled and said, "He didn't say anything, just some complaints." After all, the minister had dealings with him, and in a few words, he knew that he was haunted by Feng Changqing's death. This is the reason why he rejected His Majesty, probably because His Majesty did not issue an edict to give Feng Chang Qingping a correct name. ”

Xuanzong Wu was not at ease, and asked tentatively, "Did he mention what I said when I summoned him?" ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "The minister didn't ask, and he didn't say anything." How dare the minister ask about the words between His Majesty and him, and the minister does not understand the rules of the court. Besides, His Majesty told the minister about the summons that day, so why did the minister ask him. ”

Xuanzong sighed secretly and said with a smile: "Yes, I want to know if he is dissatisfied with me. I really didn't mention Feng Changqing's matter that day, in fact, I had long wanted to rehabilitate Feng Changqing. If he has a heart disease because of this, I will immediately issue a decree to rehabilitate him. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Your Majesty Shengming, it turns out that Your Majesty has already had this plan, so it will be easy to do." With a holy decree, I think Gao Xianzhi will gladly take office. ”

Xuanzong thought for a while and said, "Is he really only willing to be your deputy?" Unwilling to reassemble an army? Why don't you ask again? Don't get me wrong, I mean that Gao Xianzhi is arrogant, and I'm afraid that he will be unwilling to be your deputy and not listen to your orders. Isn't that embarrassing you? ”

Wang Yuan scolded in his heart, but said in his mouth: "In this way, since Your Majesty has this concern, the minister will go to find out with him again." Then he told him that he should either listen to my dispatch, or reorganize an army under his own command, and see how he chooses. ”

Xuanzong smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's better for you to ask clearly, so as not to have a gap in your heart." Hey, Wang Yuan, you said that it is not difficult for me to be the emperor, I worry about this and that all the time, the mood of the courtiers must be taken care of, and a bowl of water must be leveled. and worried about unfairness, it is really like walking on thin ice. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty is indeed very difficult, and the ministers can't share your worries for Your Majesty, and they are very ashamed." ”

Xuanzong smiled, and Wang Yuan also smiled silently. After talking about business, Wang Yuan didn't want to stay for a long time, so he had to retire. Before going out, Xuanzong suddenly stopped Wang Yuan and asked, "Wang Yuan, do you know where Mrs. Qin Guo lives now?" ”

Wang Yuan was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know where Mrs. Qin Guo is located. Liu Jun escorted her to Chengdu that day, and where she settled down, Liu Jun did not tell the minister. ”

Xuanzong smiled: "You and her are not ...... Hehe, aren't you close? Why don't you even know? ”

Wang Yuan said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, don't listen to gossip outside, there is nothing between me and Mrs. Qin Guo." Liu Jun should know about this matter, I asked Liu Jun and he refused to say, presumably Mrs. Qin Guo didn't want others to know, and it would be boring for me to ask again. If Your Majesty wants to know, it is better to ask Xuan Liujun in person. ”

Xuanzong thought for a while and said, "That's it, don't ask." The eighth aunt must have been annoyed with me and didn't want to meet me again. Even if I knew where she lived, I might not be willing to see me when she came to see her. Hey, she must have hated me to death, and I ordered to kill the concubine. It's my fault. ”

At the mention of Yang Guifei, Xuanzong's face was full of shame, and his expression darkened.

Wang Yuan said softly: "Your Majesty, don't think about it, the big things are important, forget about those things." It is okay if Mrs. Qin Guo does not want to come to see her, so as not to arouse His Majesty's sadness when she sees her. Your Majesty should forget about this matter, that incident is the fault of the crown prince and Chen Xuanli, and Your Majesty does not have to blame himself. ”

Xuanzong sighed and was silent. Wang Yuan bowed down and exited the study, and looked back, Xuanzong was sitting in a daze like a clay sculpture and wood carving, obviously caught in the accident of Ma Weipo again.
