Chapter 46 Li Fuguo goes down to the south of the Yangtze River
Looking at Du Hongji, who was prostrating on the ground, and Li Yu, who was bowing his head slightly, Li Fuguo was secretly a little proud. He said in his heart: Hehe, what's the use of letting you, the civil and military generals, be appreciated by the emperor and have talents? At the critical moment, the emperor really trusts and relies on these close ministers of our family.
For a while, Li Fuguo suddenly became high-spirited and high-spirited.
He cleared his throat lightly, bowed down to the side and said: "Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that Mr. Li and Master Du are reasonable, this world is still Your Majesty's country after all, and it is a matter of course for thieves to rebel, and it is a matter of course for all soldiers and horses to summon King Qin." That Jiangnan Yang Qi, if he dares not to send troops when he is not called, it is a rebellion of the imperial court, but after Guo Fenyang's army recovers Guanluo, he will drive straight into it to exterminate it! ”
Li Fuguo added a sentence viciously and miserably: "Your Majesty may wish to order the envoy of the Qin Mission to go to Jiangnan to transfer troops to announce the summons, the slaves and maids are not talented, and they are willing to share their worries and solve problems for Your Majesty!" ”
Li Fuguo was so eloquent, Li Heng finally made up his mind. He rose to his feet, looked out of the humble hall with blazing eyes, and issued another order in an almost exuberant tone.
Very simply, it was nothing more than appointing Li Fuguo as a special envoy to Jiangnan to summon and transfer Yang Qi's Jiangnan soldiers and horses to cross the river to quell the rebellion. Of course, the edict on Kong Sheng's appointment was also announced by Li Fuguo at that time.
Li Mi and Du Hong gradually exchanged a look, and both cast gloomy gazes on Li Fuguo, who was smiling gloomily. Both of them are such scheming people, how can they not see through Li Fuguo's scheming.
He took the initiative to take over this matter and took the initiative to go to Jiangnan to proclaim the summons, and it was false to share worries and solve problems for the new emperor, and to take the opportunity to leave the bitter cold Lingwu to go to the prosperous place in Jiangnan to enjoy and make some benefits, on the one hand, it was also to emulate Yu Chaoen, the supervisor of the power in Guo Ziyi's army, trying to "experience" gilding in the army, and lay the foundation for more long-term political ambitions in the future.
Li Fuguo bid farewell to the emperor on the same day, and left Lingwu in a car with a few retinues and dozens of escorts to go to Jiangnan to proclaim. This guy is really good at acting, kneeling on the ground in front of the emperor and crying bitterly, repeatedly telling the emperor that he must take care of the dragon body when he is not around, but Li Heng wiped two tears of emotion, and his feelings were stirred for a while, and he also gave him a gold medal monk Fang sword.
In fact, these are the props of formalism on behalf of imperial power. In this delicate situation of a chaotic army and a decline in imperial power, it may not be so easy to use. But for Li Fuguo, who is good at power-grabbing and fox fake tiger power, this means extraordinary.
After leaving Lingwu, Li Fuguo knew that he was in troubled times, and there were chaos along the way, in order to save his life and successfully complete the task, he did not dare to slack off, and carefully walked along the edge of the "enemy-occupied area" to avoid the pass, day and night, preparing to enter Jiangnan from Shannan.
It should be said that he chose this path very wisely. Although it was a detour of hundreds of miles, it was definitely the safest. If he encounters the Anshi rebels, even if it is a sporadic straggler, the propaganda team he leads will not escape the bad luck of annihilation.
On the road, Li Fuguo learned that An Lushan was dispatching troops and sending Shi Siming and Cai Xide to send 100,000 troops to attack Taiyuan, and he couldn't help but secretly break out in a cold sweat. If the thief rebels take Taiyuan, they can seize Lingwu from the northern province and directly eliminate the small court of Li Heng, who has just ascended the throne. If Li Heng is finished, he will have no future as a righteous power prisoner.
Fortunately, there is now a famous general Li Guangbi in Taiyuan. Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi are Li Heng's two main generals who relied on after ascending the throne and becoming emperor, and awarded Li Guangbi as the head of the household department and the same Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, and specially ordered him to stay in the northern capital Taiyuan, two months ago, Li Guangbi led an army of 5,000 to leave Lingwu and rush to Taiyuan, carrying the major mission of Li Heng's new court.
But no matter how capable Li Guangbi is, he can't stand the rebels. can't hold Taiyuan, even if Guo Ziyi does anything on the front line of Guanluo in Hedong, he will be opened up by An Lushan "rear channel", and the surging rebels will go north from Taiyuan, almost reversing the entire overall situation.
It is not easy for a eunuch Li Fuguo to have such insight. It's just that he can't control the general trend of the battle at all, so he can only speed up the speed of going down Jiangnan with a worried heart.
Saying that everything else is false, and saving a small life is true. Li Fuguo decided that after going down the south of the Yangtze River, he would not be in a hurry to return to his life for the time being, but should wait and see the current situation before making a decision. If Li Guangbi holds Taiyuan, everything is easy to say, if Taiyuan falls, then he doesn't have to go back to Lingwu to accompany the king, and just stay in Jiangnan to save his life.
Lingwu City.
Autumn on the Cisse border comes exceptionally early. In the afternoon, when the bleak autumn wind swept through the entire Lingwu City, the main gate of the Lingwu Governor's Mansion where the new emperor was temporarily stationed opened, and two jujube red horses rode two women out slowly, followed by dozens of palace guards with solemn expressions and long swords.
The older woman looked like she was about twenty-five or sixteen, with the hair of a noble young woman in a bun, a dark fur cape, and a faint sadness between her eyebrows. The younger woman, about in her early twenties, has a delicate face, a strong suit, a horsewhip in her hand, and a heroic temperament that does not allow women to shave their eyebrows.
The two daughters are Li Heng's two daughters, the older is the second daughter Princess Ningguo, and the younger is the fifth daughter Princess Jiguo.
"Second sister, I heard that my father canonized a young scholar named Kong Sheng, and it has been a few days since Li Fuguo rushed to Jiangnan to announce the summons." Princess Kikoku, who was holding a horsewhip, said with a smile.
Princess Ningguo smiled reservedly, "Fifth sister, in the past two days, the poems written by Kong Sheng have been sung everywhere in Lingwu City, my favorite is the song of long hatred, which is majestic and mournful, this young man is really talented and amazing." ”
"Second sister, that young man is actually really bold and presumptuous, and he dares to comment on the palace of the emperor's grandfather?! I don't like that kind of gorgeous and languishing poem, but the one that is full of Jianghong is quite good, revealing some ambition and backbone, but at most it is just a rhetorical person - if I have the opportunity to meet this person in the future, I will ask him face to face, what ability does he dare to claim to 'stay from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky'? Princess Ji Guo's words were full of sarcasm, and she waved her hand and shook the horsewhip, making a soft snapping sound.
Princess Ning Guo chuckled: "Fifth sister, don't be unconvinced, heroes are born in troubled times, there are many good men in this world, how do you know that people are not real young heroes?" ”
"Don't be so proud all the time, no one looks down on you...... You're not too old, and it's not a matter if you haven't left the cabinet yet. Princess Ning Guo said again.
Princess Ji Guo sneered: "Second sister, if I can't choose a satisfactory Langjun, I'd rather not marry, this is allowed by my father." It's you, the second sister, that Zheng Xun died early, you can't be so widowed all the time, it's time to let your father help you choose a horse again. ”
Princess Ning Guo lowered her head when she heard this, and said nothing more.
Princess Ji Guo also seemed to know that she had said the wrong thing, and she stabbed her sister's sore spot, and was a little embarrassed, so she blushed and whispered to Princess Ning Guo on the horse to laugh and admit her mistake, and after a while, she coaxed Ning Guo to smile again, and the two girls walked forward together and went out of the city to hunt.
