Chapter 187: Driving West
At today's banquet, Bu Yunfei always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of a reason. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The emperor summoned Cui Guangyuan separately in the Zichen Hall and appointed him as Jing Zhaoyin and became a cabinet minister, on the surface, this was a reward for Cui Guangyuan to take in Bu Yunfei.
However, what an official position Jing Zhaoyin is, how can it be used as a reward!
The emperor's appointment of Cui Guangyuan must have another mystery, and Gao Lishi must understand the mystery, he will definitely send some kind of signal, through Cui Guangyuan, to Bu Yunfei has a hint.
Therefore, Bu Yunfei has been asking what Gao Lishi said to Cui Guangyuan in the Zichen Palace.
Cui Guangyuan talked about it for most of the day, talking about Yang Guifei for a while, and Yang Guozhong for a while, it sounded like there was some truth, but when you studied it deeply, it was untenable.
Only in this last sentence, mentioning the predecessor Jingzhao Yin Cuiyuan, Bu Yunfei suddenly realized that Gao Lishi's seemingly careless words are the key to the problem!
Cui Shuquan is stronger than his Lao Tzu, and he heard that Gao Lishi was going to use this sentence to convey some kind of information, but he would be wrong!
What Gao Lishi wants to convey to Cui Guangyuan is by no means that the emperor wants to cut Yang Guozhong's military power!
Yang Guozhong is indeed the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, and Xian Yu Zhongtong, the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, is also his hardcore cronies, but the Jiannan Army is far away in Sichuan, and the whip of the political situation in the capital is beyond the reach of the whip, and the emperor wants to take Yang Guozhong in the capital, so he doesn't need to worry about the Jiannan Army at all. Moreover, Cui Yuan went to Chengdu to take up his post, if it was really to slash Yang Guozhong's military power, this would be tantamount to startling the snake, or even taking off his pants and farting!
There is only one explanation, Cui Yuan served as the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, and it has nothing to do with Yang Guozhong.
In the Zichen Palace, Gao Lishi mentioned what Cui Yuan said, revealing at least three pieces of information: first, Cui Yuan was only appointed as the envoy of the Jiannan Festival this morning, if nothing else, Cui Yuan had just stepped out of the Zichen Hall with his front foot, and Cui Guangyuan was brought into the Zichen Hall by Gao Lishi to accept the position of Jing Zhaoyin! Second, Cui Yuan left in an extremely hurry, and after receiving the appointment, he left the capital almost non-stop, and he may not even have time to return to Jingzhao Mansion! Third, the emperor's appointment of Cui Yuan is top secret!
The appointment of Cui Yuan and Cui Guangyuan is connected before and after, and there is an inevitable connection between the two, and it is the result of careful planning!
Then, after appointing Cui Guangyuan as Jing Zhaoyin, Li Longji must make the next move soon!
What is this action? In the eyes of others, it is impossible to guess at all.
However, in Bu Yunfei's eyes, what Li Longji wants to do is clear at a glance!
"Lord Cui, the emperor has thrown the capital to you!" Bu Yunfei said in a deep voice.
"What do you mean?" Cui Guangyuan looked at Bu Yunfei blankly.
"The emperor has already traveled west!" Bu Yunfei gritted his teeth and said.
"What?" Cui Guangyuan and Cui Shuquan exclaimed in unison.
"General Bu, what do you mean by that?" Cui Guangyuan shouted: "The emperor is driving west? Why did he want to go west? ”
"Because, Geshuhan was defeated, and Tongguan was lost!"
"It can't be!" Cui Guangyuan shouted: "It is absolutely impossible, the Tongguan army went east out of Tongguan and won the first battle......"
"The first battle was won, so what about the second battle!"
......Four days ago, Ge Shuhan led the Tongguan army east out of Shaanxi County, and had a battle with the rebel Cui Qianyou's department, and the rebels were defeated and retreated for 30 miles, and after that, no news came.
Bu Yunfei said: "Master Cui, Bu can only make a long story short!" It should have been yesterday, Geshuhan's army went to Lingbao, encountered an ambush by the rebel Cui Qianyou, and the whole army was annihilated. In the battle of Lingbao, the elite of the Tang army was lost, and Chang'an had become an empty city. Perhaps last night, or perhaps this morning, the emperor received the news of the loss of Tongguan, so he decided to drive westward to Sichuan to temporarily avoid the rebels. Cui Yuan was appointed as the envoy of the Jiannan Festival to fight for the emperor, so after he received the appointment, he immediately left Beijing, and there was no time to hand over to the successor! ”
"The emperor is about to run away, why do you want me to be this Jing Zhaoyin?" Cui Guangyuan shouted, but he lacked confidence.
"That's a trick! Leave you to be Jing Zhaoyin, one is to cover Cui Yuan, and the other is to show the people of the capital, their parents are still there, the capital is safe, as long as the people are not chaotic, the emperor can hide from the sky and the sea; Three ......" Bu Yunfei sneered: "The emperor has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility!" ”
Bu Yunfei said "entrusted with a heavy task", with sarcasm. Where is this entrusted with a heavy task, in fact, it is to let Cui Guangyuan be a substitute for the dead ghost!
Chang'an has no troops to defend, and once the rebels advance westward, Chang'an will inevitably fall. However, as the country of the Tang Dynasty, if it surrenders without a fight, and there is not even a single minister who is martyred, the Tang Dynasty will not be able to save face. Therefore, Emperor Tang Ming temporarily promoted Cui Guangyuan to be a minister of Sanpin Pavilion, and let him live and die with Chang'an on behalf of the Tang Dynasty!
Bu Yunfei didn't say what it meant, but this is an obvious thing, Cui Guangyuan has been a Beijing official for so long, how can he not understand!
Cui Guangyuan trembled: "This, this." How is this possible, how can the emperor deceive his subordinates! ”
"Daddy!" Cui Shuquan shouted: "In the eyes of the emperor Lao'er, where are you a subordinate, you are just a gambler!" ”
"Lord Cui, in order not to cause panic among the people, but also to prevent the rebels from hearing the wind and going to pursue, the emperor went west and kept it strictly secret. To the outside world, you still have to make a peaceful appearance. Therefore, Cui Yuan's appointment as the envoy of the Jiannan Festival is the top secret of the imperial court, and Gao Lishi revealed this matter to Lord Cui in the Zichen Palace, which is to tell Lord Cui that the emperor is about to leave Beijing! ”
Today, Cui Guangyuan had great ups and downs, he thought that he was ascending to the sky in one step and becoming an important minister beside the emperor, where did he think that Bu Yunfei would say a word, and a scoop of cold water would drench him to the bone--the emperor wanted him to be a substitute for the dead ghost!
"Unbelievable, unbelievable!" Cui Guangyuan was almost hysterical: "Cui doesn't believe it, absolutely doesn't believe it!" Geshu Han Lingbao was defeated, I Cui didn't know, how do you know! ”
Bu Yunfei sighed in his heart, the battle of Lingbao, Ge Shuhan was defeated, and the 200,000 elite army was wiped out, this is on the book!
However, it is recorded in the history books that this battle took place in May of the first year of Zhide. Because of this, Bu Yunfei once believed that the history he had experienced had changed, and the battle of Lingbao might not happen. Therefore, when he learned that Ge Shuhan led his troops out of Tongguan, he did not expect that Ge Shuhan would be defeated so quickly.
However, the fact is that his coming to Datang did disturb the course of this history, but it did not change the direction of history.
The battle of Lingbao is still destined to happen!
The appointment of Cui Yuan and Cui Guangyuan by Emperor Li Longji of Tang Ming just proves that this great war has already happened, and the result is completely consistent with the records in the historical books.
Li Longji has already run away! Daming Palace is already an empty city.
He didn't keep his promise! In the past three days, he only cared about his own life and death, and even, he had already forgotten Yan Quanying, who was imprisoned in Dali Temple, to the Nine Heavens Cloud!
With such an emperor, it is no wonder that the country does not die!
Bu Yunfei glanced at Cui Guangyuan, who was lost and depressed, and said lightly: "Lord Cui, the emperor handed over the capital to you, Lord Cui is so self-conscious, Bu Mou said goodbye!" ”
Bu Yunfei knew exactly what was going on, but he didn't bother to explain it to Cui Guangyuan at all, and he didn't have time to explain.
"Where are you going?" Cui Shuquan hurriedly asked.
"The emperor has run away, but what he wants to do hasn't been done yet!" Bu Yunfei said as he walked.
"What's the matter?"
Baye Gu followed behind Bu Yunfei and shouted, "What's the matter, Miss Yan!" ”
Yan Quanying is still in prison in Dali Temple. These days, because the emperor promised to rehabilitate Yan Gaoqing, Bu Yunfei also relaxed his vigilance and didn't care too much about Dali Temple Prison, anyway, Yan Quanying was released from prison only sooner or later. Now, Tongguan is lost, Chang'an is in danger, the emperor is running, he didn't think of Yan Quanying at all, and Buyun Feifei suddenly felt that the situation was not good.
Now, the emperor's escape has not yet been made public, but such a big matter cannot be hidden for long. In half a day at most, the officials and the people will find that Daming Palace has become an empty city, and there will be chaos in Chang'an City.
Cui Shuquan came to his senses and said hurriedly: "Big brother, little brother will go to Dali Temple Prison with you!" ”
Bu Yunfei shook his head: "Cui Shuquan, let's be brothers, Bu knows that you are righteous, but brotherly righteousness is not worthy of the love of father and son!" Your father was betrayed by the emperor, and now he is in an extremely dangerous situation, as Jing Zhaoyin, he can't leave his post without permission, but once An Lushan's rebels enter the city, they will definitely not be able to let him go! Originally, Bu was taken in by Lord Cui, and he should have stayed to help Lord Cui. But Yan Gaoqing's family was martyred, and only Yan Quanying was left with a daughter, and Bu couldn't sit idly by! Cui Shuquan, one, your father is in trouble, you shouldn't stay away; The second is also to repay Master Cui for his affection. Therefore, you should stay by Tsui-sama's side and help Tsui-sama clean up the mess and get out of danger! ”
"Big brother is right! Little brother obeys! Cui Shuquan nodded.
Bu Yun took two quick steps, stopped again, looked at Cui Guangyuan, who was leaning against the wine table and lost his soul, and said: "Cui Shuquan, Lord Cui's situation is extremely dangerous, once the news of the emperor's departure spreads, the capital will inevitably be in chaos, and the powerful officers and soldiers will take advantage of the fire to rob, if Lord Cui can't be suppressed, it will be difficult to get out, how do you plan to help Ling Zun?" ”
"Big brother, don't worry, my father will lead General Yulin, and the twelve guards and horses in the capital can be adjusted to maintain the situation."
Bu Yunfei shook his head: "The twelve guards and horses in the capital must never be used!" The government soldiers have long been corrupted, and even their usual training is deserted, and their equipment is even more dilapidated. Once faced with chaos, it will inevitably collapse. If they are scattered, it will be fine. The most worrying thing is that the rebels will come to the city soon, and these government soldiers will defect if they don't get it, and they will tie up Lord Cui to ask the rebels for merit and reward! If Lord Cui wants to use twelve guards, I'm afraid that he will be burned! ”
