"Everyone, the people sent to Tibet have returned. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info "While Yang Guifei was dancing, Gao Lishi played close to Li Longji and whispered.

"Oh?" Li Longji turned his head to look at Gao Lishi and asked with some eagerness, "General Gao, how is the investigation?" ”

"Back to everyone, that Subi Zhuoma has been leading the troops for the past few months, and participated in the Battle of the Camel Bridge a while ago, and it is difficult for the people sent by the old slave to approach her, but one thing is for sure, the suspicion of the Subi Department is getting heavier and heavier, and in the Battle of the Camel Bridge, Subi Zhuoma also seems to have a tacit understanding with Leon."

"What's the tacit agreement?"

"Back to everyone, the two armies are about to fight, and before Leon has completed the deployment of troops, Nasubi Zhuoma vigorously opposes Dazarugon's troops; As soon as Li Ang completed the deployment of troops, Na Subi Zhuoma found another reason to support the dispatch of troops;

After the battle, Subi Zhuoma was ordered to lead the headquarters to besiege Shudun City, but also besieged but not attacked, after the defeat of Dazarugong, all the armies of Tubo were defeated, only Subi Zhuoma's troops retreated safely, and Li Ang did not send troops to pursue her. ”

Li Longji said happily, "In this way, at least Li Ang has already made contact with the Subi Ministry. ”

"There shouldn't be anything wrong with this matter, as long as it is about Leon's life experience, it has to be verified by Subi Zhuoma in person to be confirmed."

Wooing the Subi Department and dividing Tibet, Li Ang has already mentioned this matter to him Longji, and has also been recognized by Li Longji, Tubo is blessed with unique geographical advantages, if it is not divided from the inside, it is difficult to pacify Tibet, seeing that Li Ang is doing well, Li Longji is naturally very pleased in his heart. He then asked, "What is the truth about the dispute between Leon and Goshuhan?" ”

The person sent by Gao Lishi has just returned from Longyou, and naturally should have a first-hand situation, which Gao Lishi will not ignore and answer, he bowed down and replied: "Everyone, the situation in Longyou is indeed a little bad, Ge Shuhan in order to prevent Li Ang from dipping the Tibetan envoy in the pig cage, Li Ang pulled out a knife to Li Ang, Li Ang was not to be outdone, the two sides in the process of fighting, Ge Shuhan was forced into the dung pit, on the seventh night of the beginning of November, Li Ang and Ge Shuhan clashed again, hundreds of people on both sides fought together, and then Li Ang took two or three hundred people to break out of Shanzhou overnight, and went to Kuozhou. In Longyou, Li Ang's prestige is much higher than that of Ge Shuhan, and there are rumors that Li Ang is the grandson of the emperor, and it is the Longyou generals who stand on Li Ang's side. ”

"Nonsense! It's nonsense! When Li Longji heard this, he couldn't help but be very annoyed, "Li Ang is young and frivolous, and he is reckless, I thought that Ge Shuhan would be more stable, and he was ordered to be right, but I never thought that Ge Shuhan was so ignorant, it was too disappointing for me!" ”

"Your Majesty, now that the two tigers in Longyou are fighting, the good situation may be repeated, Yu Chaoen is too young, and has not been involved in side affairs, after arriving in Longyou, he may not be able to quickly and properly settle the dispute!"

"Well, General Gao has a point." Before, Li Jilong thought that between Li Ang and Ge Shu, there was just some quarrel, and it was enough to send someone to find out the situation and mediate.

He didn't have the heart to watch the song and dance anymore, and without discussing it with the ministers, he ordered Yang Shenjin, the middle of the imperial history, to go to Longyou to deal with the dispute between Li Ang and Ge Shuhan.

Yushitai, also known as Lantai, is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, and theoretically can not only impeach the prime minister, but also advise the monarch on gains and losses. The chief official of the Imperial Historical Observatory is the Imperial Historian, but it is not permanent, and the Imperial Historical Zhongcheng often becomes the highest official of the Imperial Historical Observatory.

There is a problem with the idle state and county officials, and sending an inspector to the imperial history is enough to make the magistrate nod his head and accompany the smiling face. This time, the emperor personally sent Yushi Zhongcheng to Longyou, which is enough to show how much he attaches importance to this matter.

As soon as Li Linfu heard the news, he was very vigilant in his heart, and he said well at the court meeting, just send a eunuch, but the next day the emperor changed his hexagram and sent the imperial historian Zhongcheng to Longyou, such a big matter, he didn't discuss it with him, the prime minister.

At the beginning, in order to deal with Li Shizhi, Huangfu Weiming, Wei Jian and others, Li Linfu tried his best to win over Yang Shenjin, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to put Yang Shenjin in the high position of the imperial history, and also let him take on the post of land and water transfer envoy, in fact, the power is no less than the prime minister.

But in fact, Yang Shenjin has never been Li Linfu's person, after successfully ascending the throne, coupled with the emperor's increasing favor and trust, Yang Shenjin is even more like leaving Li Linfu, Li Linfu is very dissatisfied with this, but for a while he found a bad reason to get Yang Shenjin down.

Now that the emperor did not consult with him, he sent Yang Shenjin to Longyou, which made Li Linfu feel a stronger threat.

Gongsun Jin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also felt bad, and hurried to the Right Minister's Mansion to ask for a meeting.

"Xianggong, I don't know why the Holy Lord wants to send Yang Shenjin to Longyou again?" As soon as he sat down, Gongsun Jin went straight to the point and asked.

Gongsun Jin was originally one of Li Linfu's henchmen, but because of Li Ang, Li Linfu became more and more wary of him, because once Li Ang was successfully put on the throne and replaced the crown prince Li Heng, Gongsun Jin was likely to become the biggest beneficiary, and Li Linfu certainly did not want to see such a thing happen;

It's just that in addition to helping Li Ang to replace Li Heng, he really has no other good way to get rid of Li Heng's mortal threat now, and if he wants to help Li Ang, he can't move Gongsun Jin for the time being, at least so far, his and Gongsun Jin's interests are the same.

"The will is unpredictable!" Li Linfu sighed.

Gongsun said solemnly: "Xianggong, Yang Shenjin is unreliable, once he arrives in Longyou, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not spoil our big things." ”

"However, the holy decree has been issued, is there a way for Gongsun Shangshu to make the saint take back his fate?"

"This ......." Gongsun Jin found that Li Linfu's reaction was a little wrong, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

Li Linfu stopped and did not continue to beat Gongsun Jin, he stroked his long beard and said: "Now that the holy decree has been issued, if Yang Shenjin is forcibly prevented from going to Longyou, I am afraid that it will make the saint have doubts." At the moment, we need to do three things, one of them, the great victory of the Camel Bridge, the development of Dafeichuan can not be rewarded, you immediately go to the book, on this ground, please crown Li Ang as the king of the county. Second, establish the identity of Li Ang's grandson as soon as possible. Third, as you said, Yang Shenjin is unreliable, and he can no longer stay in the position of Zhongcheng in the imperial history for a long time, and he must be demoted from the court as soon as possible, preferably before he returns to Beijing from Longyou. ”

I have to say that Li Linfu has been able to sit firmly in the position of prime minister for so many years, and it is by no means fortunate. His three moves are all bottom-of-the-pot tactics for the current situation.

As long as the imperial court affirms Li Ang's merits first, this is tantamount to setting the tone for the dispute between Li Ang and Ge Shuhan, so that no matter who goes to Longyou, it will not be easy to slap the court in the face.

Determining the identity of Li Ang's grandson as soon as possible is a big move, which is not only to add a talisman to Li Ang, but also to arch Li Ang up like this, firstly, to remove Li Ang's threat to Li Linfu, and secondly, to quickly make Li Ang become a threat to Li Heng, laying the foundation for finally replacing Li Heng.

This third move, taking advantage of Yang Shenjin's trip to Longyou, gave him a big hat, so that Yang Shenjin didn't even have a chance to defend himself, which not only eliminated the impact of his going to Longyou, but also solved this disobedient potential threat by the way.

Gongsun was cautious, and hurriedly replied: "The prime minister is clever, and the lower officials will hurry up and do it." ”

As a result, before Yang Shenjin and Yu Chaoen made the trip, there were officials in the court who asked the imperial court to reward the great victory of the camel bridge and the development of Dafeichuan. The good news was more than half a month earlier than the impeachment of Li Ang and them, and meritorious service was rewarded, and it was justified that the ministers asked for meritorious service, which is beyond reproach.

Among them, Li Ang is the biggest hero, and many officials believe that not being crowned the king of the county is not enough to reward him, and even the common people in the market think that this is what Li Ang deserves.

On this day, Li Linfu once again convened senior officials from the three provinces and six ministries to discuss the matter of rewards, and it only took more than an hour to pass the draft of the reward with high efficiency.

Li Linfu rushed to lunch and handed over the draft plan to Li Longji in person, and the others were secondary, Li Longji took the draft, and at first glance he saw Li Ang's name, and the rewards drafted by the ministers to Li Ang were a series of rewards such as the king of Dingcheng County, the opening of the palace and the three divisions, and the actual sealing of 500 households, which can be described as extremely rich.

Li Longji has always been very generous in rewarding Bian Gong, and in terms of Li Ang's series of great achievements, it is indeed not an exaggeration to be crowned a county king.

But this time, Li Longji seemed to have another plan, his face turned pale, he looked at Li Linfu and said: "Regarding Li Ang's reward, it can be decided later." ”

Where is Li Linfu willing, he immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, meritorious service must be rewarded, in order to inspire the border generals to be brave and enterprising, to serve the Tang Dynasty, the great victory of the camel bridge, to expand the territory for thousands of miles, and to promote the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Linfu's words made Li Longji unable to refute it, Wang Zhonghei was because he suppressed Li Ang's reward, which caused Li Ang to complain, and the soldiers guarding the border, the people of the world, were also mostly upset with Li Ang, and the lessons from the past were not far away.

Li Longji was a little embarrassed, so he had to take a step back and said: "Li Ang is still young, and he has not been in the office for a long time, so the reward should not be too heavy, otherwise the young man will inevitably be arrogant, and at the same time, he will lose his enterprising spirit. In this way, Li Ang will be named the Marquis of Yunyang, and he will be awarded 100 households, and he will be crowned with the title of Imperial History. ”

Li Linfu was disappointed in his heart, but the emperor had already taken a step back, and he couldn't force it too much, otherwise he was afraid that it would backfire. So I had to bow again: "Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers obey the order!" ”
