Li Congjing and Mo Li finalized the matter of sending envoys to Jingnan, and originally as long as they reported to Li Siyuan and asked the imperial court to give Mo Li the status of envoys, Mo Li, Sang Weihan and others would be able to make the trip, but who knew that such a thing that should not have been turbulent had an accident out of thin air.

Following the end of last year's autumn tribute, twenty-three Jinshi entered the court as officials, and after the beginning of spring this year, the imperial court appointed many directly subordinate state assassins, which involved a series of official changes, Luoyang officialdom can be described as quite a lot of movement, coupled with the dismissal of An Chongzhi at the end of last year, in this case, the court pattern has changed a lot.

Li Congjing talked to Li Siyuan about Jingnan in Duanming Palace, and was about to propose to let Mo Li go to Jingnan, but Li Siyuan signaled Li Congjing to put the matter aside first, and then talked about other things meaningfully, "Since the end of last year, An Chongzhu was dismissed because of the Puzhou incident, and he has been at home for more than a month. You may not know that before the New Year, An Chongzhi even intended to leave Luoyang with his family and return to his hometown to retire, but it was the obstruction of the Prime Minister that made An Chongzhu never leave Luoyang. ”

An Chongzhi was dismissed for good reasons, not that anyone deliberately suppressed it, even Li Congjing himself, did not use excessive means against him, and now Li Siyuan mentioned An Chongzhi's situation, Li Congjing didn't know what Li Siyuan wanted, so he could only continue to listen quietly.

Li Siyuan continued: "When I did not ascend to the great treasure, An Chongzhu was the envoy of the middle gate, and he has been fighting with me for many years, and he has made many meritorious deeds, which is my arm, and I can have today's nobles, and An Chongzhu's contribution to the dragon is indispensable. Since I succeeded to the throne, although An Chongzhu has been arrogant and arrogant, but looking at his actions, he can be regarded as having no major faults. ”

At this point, Li Congjing can basically understand what Li Siyuan means. What can be the purpose of reciting the benefits of An's teachings, it is nothing more than having the heart to reuse it. However, why did Li Siyuan re-employ An Chongzhu? This is what Li Congjing is pondering in his heart.

Li Congjing heard Li Siyuan continue: "Now that the government and the opposition are waiting to be revived, and when they are employing people, An Chongzhi has served as the center, is familiar with government affairs, and is also quite talented. After that, he asked Li Congjing: "What do you think?" ”

Since Li Siyuan has said everything about this, what else can Li Congjing do, naturally he can only say good. As a son of man, Li Congjing knows that Li Siyuan is a person who misses the old love very much, and he has always been very tolerant of those who have real feelings for Li Siyuan, as long as he does not break his bottom line, or let him be completely disappointed in others.

In today's Tang Dynasty, Ren Yuan, Feng Dao, Li Qi and others are in awe of Li Congjing, and it can be said that there is no other competing force. The way of balance has always been a heavy weapon in the hands of the king, and Li Siyuan's re-use of An Chongzhu may not have the meaning of balancing the court pattern.

But after thinking about it, Li Congjing thinks that this possibility is very small. Since ancient times, although the art of balance has been regarded as a king's treasure, not every king has practiced the art of balance, and everything in the world is not absolute.

Li Siyuan saw that Li Congjing said yes without hesitation, and said with a smile: "An Chongzhi is quite arrogant, I am deliberately using it this time, and I will not shirk it before I see him, no matter what you mean in your heart, in the eyes of others, you have a previous suspicion with An Chongxue, this time you will use An Chongxue, it is up to you to convince him, how?" ”

Li Congjing really didn't know what to say with these words, and Li Siyuan's move could only be described as "well-intentioned". Li Congjing went to ask An Chongzhu to come out of the mountain, which was to let Li Congjing sell his favor to An Chongzhu and give the two of them a chance to "release their previous suspicions".

Li Siyuan's open-mindedness and brightness are really rare in history, no wonder his reputation among later generations is so good.

Generally speaking, after a person has a high position, he must be arrogant and arrogant, especially the former who starts from the end of the world and is noble, always thinks that the world is rubbish, and he himself is extraordinarily great, so he is powerful and blessed, and no one is in his eyes.

There are too few people like Li Siyuan, who own the world and can keep their original intentions unchanged.

Before Li Congjing could say anything, Li Siyuan added: "Of course, it is a good intention for me to use An Chongzhu, I hope he will be useful in the country, if An Chongzhu does not change his old habits and is still arrogant, I will never tolerate him again!" ”

"The father and the emperor are painstaking, and the sons know very well that it is a blessing for the subjects of the Tang Dynasty to be like this by the king!" Li Congjing said sincerely, but in exchange for Li Siyuan's laughter and scolding: "The stinky boy has to shoot his father's fart!" ”

This matter was agreed, Li Congjing re-mentioned the matter of Jingnan, Li Siyuan obviously had already considered this, he was quite indignant and said: "Gao Jixing is really insatiable, last year he sent troops to occupy Kuizhou, refused the imperial court envoys, I did not send troops to attack, I have saved enough face for him, I hoped that he could know the shame, but I didn't expect this person to be capricious to this, and now he has come to ask for Zhong and Wan Liangzhou!" ”

said to Li Congjing: "According to my intentions, he should be at peace with Wang Shi, and he can't give him another chance to do things in his life!" Jingnan is an important place, whether it is to march into Xichuan or send troops to Yang Wu, it is of great use, and there is no room for loss! ”

Li Congjing didn't expect Li Siyuan to have such determination, and he thought that Gao Jixing's disobedience was enough to anger any emperor, which was unbearable.

"Jingzhou is a dangerous place, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the Wang Division cannot be pacified, once Gao Jixing raises the city to surrender to Wu and attracts the support of the Wu army, the situation is not good. Therefore, according to the will of the sons, if the soldiers can take Jiangling without blood, it should be the best policy. Li Congjing felt that the chances of winning the army were not very good now, and the strongest towns closest to Jingnan were Xiangzhou and Dongchuan, and Liu Xun in Xiangzhou didn't seem to be very powerful, and as for Dongchuan, he couldn't count on it at the moment. And if the imperial court sends troops from Kyoto, it will take a long time, which is equivalent to giving Gao Jixing time to surrender to Wu.

At that moment, Li Congjing told Li Siyuan about the causes and consequences of Mo Li's mission to Jingnan, and let Li Siyuan take the idea.

Li Siyuan agreed with Li Congjing's arrangement of Jing Nan, but when it came to employing people, he said in a deep voice: "Mo Li's talent, I don't doubt it, but Jing Nan is arrogant, and the situation is complicated, Mo Li's official position is not obvious after all, if he is allowed to go, I am afraid that Jing Nan will despise him, but it is not conducive to acting." Furthermore, if the situation in Jingnan is good, it is naturally safe, if Gao Jixing is really unreasonable, Wang Shi should fight, at that time, in order to avoid giving Jingnan a chance to turn, he should order the surrounding town army to attack, so he sent people to be able to command the surrounding town army and command the battle. It is supplemented by Mo Li, and it is still insufficient. ”

Li Congjing thought about it carefully, and had to admit that Li Siyuan still saw the Jingnan issue more thoroughly and in the long run, and his previous deployment seemed to be ill-considered and quite flawed, not to mention the changes that would occur after the situation deteriorated and how to deal with such changes.

"In that case, please ask for your life." From Li Siyuan's point of view, Li Congjing felt that there was no more suitable candidate than himself.

Li Siyuan said with a smile: "With you going in person, I am naturally relieved to be my father." ”

This matter was settled, and the next step was to make preparations, before leaving for Jingnan, Li Congjing had to go to meet for a while and ask him to come out and re-appoint his post.

Different from the previous Menting Ruoshi, these days, Anfu has always been a door, especially since An Chongzhi was dismissed, no matter how big or small the Manchu officials, even if they were caught on the streets, they all took a detour and did not pass in front of Anfu. Even if they met people from Anfu on the street, those who had flattered and flattered them before avoided them far away, lest they have anything to do with them.

From suddenly becoming noble, feared and stuttered by the world, to suddenly falling down, everyone avoids it like dung, and the people in Anfu have tasted the warmth and coldness of the world and read all the states of life in just a few months.

It's spring, and the weather is gradually getting warmer, but the men of Anfu are still immersed in the cold winter, curling in the gatehouse and cursing the damn God. The so-called Prime Minister Menzi Seven Officials, in the past, this door has always been flying and domineering, and it is ushered in and sent every day, and it is rare to take people seriously, and the waist bag has always been very heavy, but now it is not good, not only is there no income, but the welfare of the house has also dropped a lot, and there is no hot tea and pastries that are always available in the gatehouse.

"Damn my God, it's spring, why is it still so cold, it's really a hell of a life. Straight lady thief, how can this broken chair be so hard, how long have you been sitting there, and there is no warmth at all. Are all the people who sent the charcoal dead? The cold sky brazier didn't send one over," the door kept complaining about the sky, and it was long gone, and it was said that the Qin Wangfu did not have the luxury of Anfu that day.

There was a noise outside the door of the house, the noise was very loud, the door heard this sound, like smelling the sound of heaven, he has been a door for a long time, how could he not know that there is a frame parked outside the door of the house.

"Someone is finally here, waiting for the master to be so hard" Menzi almost rushed out of the door, just like before, standing at the door of the house and shouting at the people outside, so as to find a little taste of being a man.

Menzi couldn't shout even half a word to the people outside the house, and after seeing the support of the person who came, his waist couldn't stand up, his wide pupils were full of fear, and the person was frozen outside the door as if he had lost his soul, completely at a loss.

After the other party sent someone to negotiate, Menzi screamed, and quickly knelt down and bowed three times, then turned around and rushed into the mansion, and ran to the courtyard where the east study was located in despair, and said anxiously in the courtyard: "Fufujun, His Royal Highness King Qin Qin has come down!" ”

An Chongzhi is reading in the study, different from the previous pretense, this time he is really reading, and he is very devoted, and there is a booklet in his hand and the notes he wrote. Because he was too engrossed, after hearing Menzi's report, he was stunned: "Who is here?" ”

"Fujun, it's His Royal Highness the King of Qin, His Royal Highness the Prince is here!" In the courtyard, there was another frightened voice from Menzi.

An Chongzhu heard it clearly this time, and it was precisely because he heard it clearly that he chuckled in his heart and secretly screamed, "What is King Qin doing here?" ”

He stood up, paced back and forth in the study, and muttered: "Okay, what should come is always coming, the old man is still strange, King Qin has been back to Beijing for many days, why has he never come to retaliate and mock the old man, he has been brewing for so long, and today is finally here"

"Anyway, what should come will always come, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, so helpless! Since the King of Qin is here, he can't hide from him, the old man is now white, and the value is nothing more than an old life, he wants to give it to him, hey" An Chongzhi straightened his clothes and opened the door, and went to greet the sudden arrival of the King of Qin with a momentum that regarded death as home.
