readx; At the first watch, thousands of Anxi troops escorted Li Qing'an's family and a group of ministers to Yixian, Li Qingan's wife and children and the families of officials lived in Yixian, and Pei Min and more than a dozen important ministers were invited by the sergeants into the army's big tent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A group of ministers walked into the big tent under the guidance of the soldiers, the big tent was brightly lit, the sergeants had made a simple arrangement, a row of wide tables arranged in the style of the Western Regions, with high-backed chairs on both sides, although the chairs had appeared in the palace, but these important ministers who were used to kneeling were still a little unaccustomed.

However, the discomfort of the chair was no longer important at this time, and the ministers were all excited, they all knew that they would decide the future of Datang tonight.

Pei Min sat down with some complicated feelings, when he was in Wugong County, he had already seen Li Qing'an's thoughts, Li Qing'an specially ordered someone to bring Li Yu's young son Li Xun, the king of Sui, to Wugong County, needless to say, it can be guessed that Li Qing'an is going to make his young son the emperor and do the things of Zhou Gong.

From Pei Min's original intention, he is very much in favor of Li Qing'an's approach, to respect the young emperor Zhaoxue, in order to win the hearts of the people of the world, but Pei Min is more worried about how long Li Qing'an will set up this young son in the future? What kind of impact will this chaotic situation of the throne have on the future of the Tang Dynasty, and when Li Qingan takes power, what kind of attitude will he take to govern the Tang Dynasty?

There is also a great drought in Hedong, Hebei Province this year, and it is likely that there will be a large number of hungry people, how to appease them? Pei Min thought a lot, so much so that when Li Qingan walked into the big tent and everyone stood up one after another, he was still immersed in his thoughts and didn't feel Li Qingan's arrival.

"What is Pei Gong thinking?" Li Qingan walked up to Pei Min and smiled slightly.

Pei Min woke up from his contemplation, hurriedly got up to salute, and said: "Shicai is thinking about the drought in Hedong and Hebei, and he is distracted, don't blame the general!" ”

"We'll discuss this later, let's sit down first!"

Li Qing'an invited everyone to sit down, Pei Min, Zhang Yun, Cui Lian, Wei Tao, Zhang Hao, Lu Huan, Wang Jin is exactly seven people, this Wang Jin is Wang Wei's brother, and he served as a waiter in the criminal department before resigning with everyone, he was also invited by Li Qingan to come, obviously he also wants to enter the political hall as a minister, which is very unexpected by everyone, and there are seven people in the political hall, but Li Qingan is not among them, which shows that he will not enter the political hall.

At this time, Zhang Yun smiled and said: "We just heard that the general has completely defeated Tubo, and the Anxi army occupies Luo, which is a great joy, congratulations!" ”

Cui Jian also said with a smile: "Without Tubo Koubian, the burden of our military spending will be greatly reduced, which will help improve people's livelihood, and I believe that Datang will soon return to its former strength." ”

Everyone was gossiping, and at this time, Pei Min asked, "I don't know what the general is going to do with Tubo?" ”

Li Qing'an thought for a while and said: "My ultimate goal is to include Tubo as a part of the central court, but this will take a certain amount of time, the Tubo tribes are scattered, and they have been reading for a long time, if they are too hasty, they will be forced to rebel again, so I am ready to divide it into two steps, the first step is to implement the management of military towns, and there are 30,000 Tang troops stationed in Tubo, so we will vigorously promote Buddhism, so that the ideas of compassion, cooperation, and non-violence will penetrate into the bone marrow of the Tubo people, and after five or ten years, when the time is ripe, Tubo will officially become a part of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Speaking of this, Li Qingan said to everyone: "Now that Tibet is still under the occupation of the Tang army, there are tens of thousands of freed Han slaves over there, and I am ready to let them live in Tibet for a long time, so that a group of young officials are needed to participate in the governance, and everyone will discuss it in a few days and implement this matter as soon as possible." ”

Since Li Qing'an has said this, it should be a foregone conclusion that the seven of them will form a political affairs hall, and everyone will begin to become active, Pei Min said with a smile: "The general came to us so late, wouldn't it be just to talk about Tibet!" ”

"Of course not!"

Li Qingan also laughed, "I originally wanted to invite you to dinner, but you have only arrived now, so I have to change to breakfast, okay!" I'll be honest with you! ”

The smile on Li Qingan's face disappeared, and he said solemnly to everyone: "The country cannot be said to be without a king, nor can it be said to be without a court, since the puppet emperor has fled south, then it should be the time for us to rebuild the Tang Dynasty, you are all high-powered ministers, since you should take on this important responsibility, I will put forward some suggestions on the division of labor, basically according to everyone's existing positions." ”

Li Qingan took a booklet, handed it to Pei Min and said, "Xiangguo, it's up to you to announce it!" ”

Pei Min nodded, opened the booklet, one is him, the middle book order right minister and the secretary of the ministry, he didn't mention himself, so he said slowly: "Zhang Yun, the subordinate servant is the left minister and the head of the household." ”

Zhang Yun stood up and bowed slightly to Li Qing'an, he secretly sighed in his heart that this time he didn't go the wrong way, if he followed Li Heng, where would there be his place at this time.

"Cui Jian is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Wei Tao is the secretary of the Criminal Department, Zhang Hao is the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Wang Jin is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Lu Huan is the secretary of the Zhongshu Chamberlain.

Li Qing'an's appointment was very concise, without any complicated words, and there was no need for any ceremony, and everyone stood up one after another and bowed to Li Qing'an to thank him.

"What kind of duties does the general have?" Zhang Hao, who has always been quick to talk, asked.

The big tent suddenly quieted down, this is the core problem, Li Qingan appointed seven cabinet members, but he himself has no share, which is really surprising, if he has the intention of ascending the throne, it is a different matter, but the problem is that everyone understands that this time he will not compete for the big treasure, so what position will he hold?

Li Qing'an saw that everyone was looking at him, so he smiled slightly: "I am the one who led the troops to fight, An Lushan has not been destroyed, Yangzhou and Jingzhou have not been leveled, and Chengdu has not been reunified, so I have to clean up them one by one, so I don't want to ask about political affairs, but if you don't object, I can add another title of Tiance General, and the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses." ”

Speaking of this, Li Qingan said slowly to everyone: "The monarchs can recall their colleagues, quickly form a new court, and maintain the normal operation of the court's government affairs, as for the new monarch, although Li Xun, the son of Jingzong, the king of Sui, is young, but he was born with a good omen, and he will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future. ”

．．．．．．． Chengdu in June is the rainy season of the year, the rain shrouds the whole city, although it is dog days, but with a hint of coolness, at night, the streets are deserted, the shops are closed, the pedestrians and travelers return to their accommodation early, the neighborhoods, every household has closed early, Chengdu has been raining for three days in a row.

Fuxingfang is located in the east of Chengdu a large square, inside the powerful gathered, mansions such as clouds, is one of the three most famous squares in Chengdu, it is already dark, several servants guarding the door of the fang are bored sitting in the small room bragging and chatting, at this time, a sound of wheels came from a distance, a moment, a wide and gorgeous carriage rushed out of the rain and fog, drove into the gate of Fuxingfang, followed by nearly a hundred guards around the carriage, the horse's hooves were dense, splashing a splash, without waiting for a few guards to react, the carriage quickly drove into the door, Disappear into the night.

Several servants looked at each other, "It seems to be Yang Guozhong!" ”

"That's right, it's him!"

Yang Guozhong's carriage was running fast in Fuxingfang, and in the dimly lit carriage, Yang Guozhong's expression was complicated, he felt that his cooperation with Li Qingan was like getting on a thief ship, but it was not so easy for him to get off the boat at this time.

He just received a quick letter from his two sons from Guanzhong today, and the two sons gave him an almost impossible task, of course he knew that this was Li Qing'an's instructions, but what could he do, don't do it? The heads of the two sons can be pinched in Li Qingan's hands, but if he does it, he feels unwilling, and he is called by Li Qingan like a dog, but even if it is a dog, he will reward him if he sells his strength, what has Li Qingan given him so far?

Nothing, only an extremely distant promise: 'Make meritorious atonement for sins, and do not blame the past.' ’

This is simply an insult to him Yang Guozhong, where is his crime? He is a dignified Tang Dynasty right minister, and he is one of Li Longji's most trusted courtiers, even if there is no concubine, Li Longji still uses him, is it a sin to be with Li Longji?

Yang Guozhong was really dissatisfied with Li Qing'an in his heart, but he had no choice, his son was in the hands of others, and with Li Qing'an's current strength, he really had to rely on him in the future, Yang Guozhong couldn't help but sigh long, and the endless night rain made him even more depressed.

"Why is Yang Xiangguo sighing?" Someone behind him smiled slightly.

It turned out that there was a person sitting in the back seat, if you don't look closely, it is difficult to find his existence, this person is about forty years old, is a middle-aged scribe, he is Li Qing'an's staff Wei Qingping, he has been ordered to come to Chengdu for ten days, he will be Li Qing'an's liaison in Chengdu, today he received news that Yang Guozhong has received a letter from his son during the day, and he came to visit.

He saw Yang Guozhong worried all the way, and knew that he was a little unwilling in his heart, so he smiled again: "Actually, Yang Xiangguo is helping himself, if Li Heng comes to Shu, he will not spare Yang Xiangguo first, and he will kill you Liwei, I think Yang Xiangguo should know better than me." ”

Yang Guozhong sighed secretly in his heart, Wei Qingping was right, Li Heng's arrival would be a tragedy for many people, and he Yang Guozhong was the first.

He said slowly: "Yes, I know it very well in my heart, but what you want me to do is too difficult for me to do alone, so I will take you to find someone who can do it tonight." ”

Wei Qingping smiled, and then stopped talking, Yang Guozhong glanced back at him, remembered something again, and instructed him: "Mr. Wei, wait a while to see him, you try not to keep quiet, this person is very suspicious, I am afraid that he will see your flaws." ”

"Don't worry! I know it. ”

The carriage galloped all the way in the rain and mist, and in a moment, it stopped in front of a huge royal mansion, and Yang Guozhong's guards ran up the steps and said to the porter: "Please report to the prince, just say that Yang Xiangguo is visiting!" ”

The porter rushed to report, and through the hazy rain and mist, Wei Qingping saw that under the reflection of the two dead air lanterns, the plaque on the door of the mansion read the words 'Rongwang Mansion'.

He nodded secretly, Yang Guozhong was right, this person was Li Heng's real natural enemy.

King Rong is Li Wan, from three years ago, he was named by Li Longji as the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, suffered repeated setbacks, and was finally imprisoned by Li Heng in the Eagle Dog Fang, he bribed the guards with a lot of money to escape, after escaping to Chengdu, he gradually got Li Longji's reuse, took away most of Gao Xianzhi's military power, in his opinion, the inheritance of the throne of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he is the only one, but at this moment, he also heard a shocking news, his father actually passed the throne to the third Li Heng.

This news angered Li Wan, who was bound to win the throne, and he would never give up what belonged to him to Li Heng.

At this time, Li Wan was reading a book in the study, and suddenly his family came to report, "Yang Guozhong is here, and he has something urgent to see his master." ”

Li Wan was stunned, why did Yang Guozhong come? He had a relationship with Yang Guozhong back then, before the emperor fainted in Guannei, Yang Guozhong once expressed to him that he would support him as the emperor, although later because of the intervention of Li Qingan and Guo Ziyi to shatter his dream of being the emperor, but Yang Guozhong is not bad, worthy of a friendship, and he has been taken care of everywhere after coming to Chengdu, although Li Wan understands that Yang Guozhong is deliberately wooing him, but with this kind of powerful allies, he is also very willing.

"Please! Please! ”

Li Wan hurriedly got up and greeted him in person..... In front of the mansion gate, Yang Guozhong waited for a while, Wei Qingping stood behind him with his hands behind his back, and at this time, there was a rush of footsteps from inside the mansion gate, and Li Wan greeted him with a big smile.

"Yang Xiangguo is coming to my house, but he didn't send someone to announce in advance, if I happen to be absent, won't Yang Xiangguo blame me for being rude?"

Yang Guozhong hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "The matter is urgent, it is too late to inform His Highness, please forgive Your Highness!" ”

"Oh! I see. ”

Li Wan hurriedly said: "Then hurry up, please!" ”

At this time, he suddenly saw Wei Qingping, and he wondered, "Who is this?" ”

"This is my confidant Mr. Wei, who has just come from Hanzhong."

Hearing the word 'Hanzhong', Li Wan's eyelids jumped violently, this place name is too sensitive now, "Mr. Wei should come along!" ”

Wei Qingping smiled slightly: "Then disturb Your Highness." ”

The two were invited into Li Wan's outer study, and the two beautiful concubines served tea to the two of them, Yang Guozhong, who has always been a little distracted when he sees beautiful women, has no heart to appreciate the two beauties in front of him today, and everyone can see that he is preoccupied.

"What urgent news did Yang Xiangguo bring me?"

"Alas! Let my staff, Mr. Wei, say it! ”

Li Wan's eyes looked at Wei Qingping again, and Wei Qingping arched his hand and said: "I have a very good personal relationship with Li Heng's henchman Ling Hufei, and this time I went to Hanzhong to meet him." ”

Li Wan's spirits perked up, he knew that Ling Hufei was originally Yang Guozhong's staff, and he was now Li Heng's henchman, and he could indeed get valuable information from him.

"Sir, tell me quickly, what did Linghu Fei tell you?"

Wei Qingping hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yang Guozhong, Yang Guozhong sighed and said: "The Holy Lord has given Li Heng a secret decree to abdicate the throne, and when Li Heng arrives in Chengdu, he will be enthroned as the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty." ”

"Bang!" The ground slammed into the table with a heavy fist, Li Wan gritted his teeth and said, "Dream!" As long as I am here, he will not want to ascend the throne. ”

Yang Guozhong couldn't help but hate: "I think so too, then Li Heng ascended the throne, the first one to kill is His Highness, and the second one to kill is me, I came here today to discuss the plan with His Highness, and this lord will never be allowed to ascend the throne in Chengdu, otherwise you and I will die without a place to be buried." ”

"Hmm!"

Li Wan nodded, he glanced at Wei Qingping again, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wei might as well sit down for a while, Yang Xiangguo and I want to say a few words in private." ”

He ordered the two concubines again: "You have to serve Mr. Wei well, do you hear?" ”

He gave Yang Guozhong a look, the two got up and went out, Wei Qingping took a sip of the teacup slowly, and smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, he had an intuition that Li Wan would definitely enter the urn.

Li Wan took Yang Guozhong to his inner study, closed the door tightly, and the two met in the inner room again, and no third person would hear it here.

Li Wan lowered his voice and said to Yang Guozhong: "There are only two of us here, you just say, what should we do?" ”

Yang Guozhong smiled coldly and said, "Actually, there is a way, didn't he publicly issue an edict?" We don't do it, we don't stop it! ”

"Click!" With a bang, Li Wan broke a jade ruler in his hand.

．．．．．．．．． The rain and fog were misty, and the night was like water, but the Nanming Palace in Chengdu was shrouded in terror up and down, and in the quiet night, Li Longji's weak and hysterical roar was heard from afar.

"You bastards, all of you want to hurt me! Is it comfortable for you to kill me? Let me tell you, there is no such thing, I will let you die first! ”

In the Nanming Palace, hundreds of eunuchs and palace women were frightened, just because there was a little foreign object floating in the porridge bowl at night, so the saint was furious, smashed the bowl, and killed the four imperial chefs who cooked and the three palace maids who served him to eat, and the two eunuchs who fainted in fright on the spot were also implicated and dragged out and beaten to death.

How can this not make the palace maids and eunuchs afraid, during this time, Li Longji is becoming more and more terrifying, he kills people if he is not satisfied, and he doesn't even have a cane, all the palace people who take turns to serve him, in the end, no one can survive, he is simply the king of Yama, he killed five palace maids and eunuchs today, I don't know who will be picked to supplement?

In the inner hall, Li Longji was lying on his side on the rattan bed, the pain in his back made him more and more annoyed, his eyes were as fierce as an eagle, staring at the people around him one by one, he had only one thought in his heart, someone must be trying to harm him, this person was hidden among these eunuchs and palace maids, he must find this person.

At this time, several palace maids hurried over with Concubine Wu Hui, Concubine Wu Hui was Wu Xianyi, and only she could persuade Li Longji to be angry.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is angry! ”

Concubine Wu Hui knelt in front of Li Longji and begged: "No one dares to harm Your Majesty, Your Majesty must take care of the dragon's body, the imperial doctor said, if Your Majesty is angry, it will hurt Your Majesty's heart, Your Majesty forgot?" ”

"Someone is trying to harm me!"

"Nope! Absolutely no one wants to harm you, these are my people. ”

"Your people?"

Li Longji's blood-red eyes suddenly widened, and Concubine Wu Hui trembled, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" ”

Li Longji grabbed her hair and punched her in the face, "Slut! You're trying to hurt me! ”
