Being made such a fuss by Yang Guozhong, Li Longji was very angry, and after Ma Lu thanked him, Li Longji waved his hand and motioned for the ministers to get up, and then turned his head to look at Jia Zhi, a member of the Zhongshu House, and said, "Jia Qing is going to make a will." In addition to what I just said, there are a few more. ”

And that's not all? The ministers all looked weird, and Ma Lan was a little unsure what Bai Zi wanted to say.

This has reached the point where there is no reward, and now it is time to worry about the high merit of the master, is there any other reward that cannot be rewarded?

Jia Zhi quickly made preparations, and Li Longji also basically adjusted his mood, and said in a solemn voice: "With Ma Luan, the king of Fufeng County, as the protector of the capital of Anxi, the two towns of Anxi and Beiting, and the affairs west of the quicksand should be under the control of the capital of Anxi." Anxi Road is far away, and most of the Anxi capital guards and wars can act cheaply, and you don't have to ask for orders in advance, and you can report victory afterwards. The original 24,000 Han soldiers in the four towns of Anxi may not be enough, and now Ma Lan is given the right to recruit troops on his own, and there is no need to report to Chang'an within 100,000 people. ”

The ministers were shocked, and Ma Lan was also shocked. This kind of power is almost equivalent to the feudal towns that were divided after the Anshi Rebellion.

It is good to say that he is also the envoy of the two towns of the Northwest Court of Anxi, after all, there are examples like Wang Zhongsi and An Lushan in front of him, on top of the original history, the Beiting Du guarded Cheng Qianli to capture the merits of the chief of Tongluo Absi and entered the worship general, Feng Changqing was the envoy of the two festivals of the Northwest Court of Anxi.

Even the promotion from the deputy capital protector of Anxi to the capital protector is nothing, it turns out that Li Linfu, the minister of power who led the capital of Anxi is dead, and the capital of the Anxi metropolitan protector has been empty for almost a year, and Ma Lan now has the title of prime minister, which is enough to take on this position.

Self-Recruiting...... This matter is not a big deal, the number of the Anxi Han army has actually exceeded 30,000 at the moment, and the 6,000 soldiers stationed in the Quy Nhon army before are not on the roster of the capital protection house. The number of 100,000 Anxi can't bear it at all, and he can't afford to raise it, and 350,000 is the limit. Even if the Son of Heaven asked him to recruit 100,000 soldiers, he would not be able to do it.

What shocked him the most was the fact that peace and war can be autonomous. With this article, it is naturally much more convenient to send troops and horses, and there is no need to be constrained by Chang'an.

On the other hand, Chang'an City has given up control of the city. Coupled with the blank resignation of those generals above the fourth rank, it can almost be said that Moxi has become an independent kingdom.

Fortunately, it is he who is the main side of Anxi, who is only dedicated to expanding the space of the entire Han nation, without the slightest personal ambition, if it is an ambitious guy who gets this kind of power, it will be the beginning of a nightmare for the Tang Empire.

What is the difference between such power and An Lushan in the three towns of Hebei before the rebellion? Even higher than the power that An Lushan had at that time!

"The Son of Heaven is really old and confused!"

This was the first thought that came to Ma Lan's mind.

The servant Shi Li Mi was the first to stand up and said loudly: "Your Majesty! This is absolutely unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable! ”

"Get down!" Li Long was basically annoyed by Yang Guozhong, and immediately became angry, pointing at Li Mi and shouting.

The lieutenant didn't dare to slack off, went up and grabbed Li Mi and dragged him downstairs, Li Mi grabbed the pillar and refused to let go, his head struggled to hit the pillar loudly, and shouted: "Please ask Your Majesty to take back your life, otherwise Datang will be in danger!" ”

After all, there are still loyal ministers, and at that moment, several ministers stood up, knelt down and kowtowed to beg the Son of Heaven to take back his fate, which made Li Longji so angry that his face turned pale.

Ma Lan had no choice but to kneel down as well, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu is not a traitor, can you make such a mistake?

"Ma Lan! You traitor! If you don't ask Your Majesty to take back your fate, it can be seen that it is a wolf's ambition! An old minister turned his head and glared at Ma Lu, his forehead was already blue and red, and his eyes were about to split, and he shouted loudly.

When this hat was buttoned up, Ma Lan immediately became popular. Damn, Lao Tzu has no selfish intentions in sending troops and releasing horses at the border, he has just made a great contribution to the Tang Dynasty, and it is Li Longji who allows Lao Tzu to decide for himself and fight, why should he give Lao Tzu the title of traitor? Is this hat easy to wear?

This is the first time he has faced the saint, and he doesn't know who this old guy is, so he raised his head and said: "What I want is to open up the territory for my Datang, and use the sword of the Tang Dynasty to open up the land for the plough of the Tang Dynasty!" Your Majesty trusts me with a heavy responsibility, and I only know that I will repay Your Majesty with this enthusiasm and blood, and I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust! I think I have a clear conscience, as for what you think, I don't care, it is enough to be worthy of the Son of Heaven and the people! ”

Li Longji nodded again and again after hearing this, and most of his anger disappeared in an instant.

Li Mi, who was still holding on the pillar, shouted loudly: "Blinding the saint like this, you still say that you are not a traitor!" What is the sword of the Tang Dynasty to open up land for the plough of the Tang Dynasty, such as the future of all countries in Chengping, the Yanwu Xiuwen will raise the people's strength, how can the war start again! You are only bent on seeking credit for yourself, ignoring the life and death of the Han family's sons, you are already the king of the county, and you worship the prime minister, what do you want credit for? What other position do you want to move up? You said! You said! ”

When it was really a thief who bit into the bone, Ma Luan was also angry, looked at Li Mi and said coldly: "Who is Your Excellency?" What enmity do I have against your Excellency, that you should accuse me in such a way, and that you must put me to death? ”

Li Mi sneered: "I am the servant of the imperial history, Li Mi is also!" I have no grudge against you, what I said is just for the sake of the Tang Dynasty! If you refuse to ask Your Majesty to take back your life, you are clearly ill-intentioned and a traitor! ”

Ma Lan nodded.

It turned out that this was Yang Guozhong's henchman, the guy who was sent by Yang Guozhong to Jiannan to conquer Nanzhao next year, and then was defeated and voted for Erhai.

In this way, he made such a trouble, and he came out for his master, rather than really thinking about the Tang Dynasty.

"Yanwu Xiuwen, say it lightly!" Knowing that this guy was Yang Guozhong's party, Ma Lan was not ready to give him face, looked at Li Mi and smiled coldly, "I don't know what you said about Yanwu Xiuwen, can you let Tubo Zampu send the head to Chang'an by himself." I don't know if what you said about Yanwu Xiuwen can make Ge Luofeng kneel down and beg for mercy! Son of Heaven Shengming, why is there a villain like you to hinder you! I am the general of the country, that is, I want to use the sword of the Tang Dynasty to open up land for the plough of the Tang Dynasty, which is the duty of the general. Today I was framed by you for no reason, and the Son of Heaven will give me justice! ”

"Traitors don't want to take advantage of their tongues!"

Li Mi sneered and was about to speak, but Li Longji suddenly slapped the back of the chair: "Enough!" Li Mi, I know that you are close to Yang Zhao and want to stand up for Yang Zhao, but Ma Qing has just made great contributions to the country, how can I allow you to slander you! It was I who made him act cheaply in the west, why should I let him suffer on his behalf! ”

In this way, there is no room for any margin, Li Mi's face turned pale in an instant, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty Mingjian!" Weichen is for the country, and has nothing to do with Yang Gongke. ”

"Forget it!" Li Longji snorted coldly and waved his hand, "I'm old, but I'm not confused, and I can still see the truth of loyalty and treachery." Yang Zhao is the prime minister, it's okay for you to be close to him, but don't do things too much, otherwise I won't be able to tolerate you. ”

Having said that this is the extreme, Li Mi let go of the pillar with a miserable laugh, and was dragged down the Qinzheng Building by the two lieutenants. The rest of the ministers who knelt down and begged the Son of Heaven to take back their orders also kowtowed again and again, begging the Son of Heaven to forgive their sins.

When Ma Lan saw these guys like this, he immediately understood that this was Yang Guozhong's henchmen. Dare to love these guys not for the sake of Datang Sheji, but purely for Yang Guozhong. Just now, I was praising in my heart that these are all ministers of the society, but now Ma Ling is extremely disdainful of these guys.

Li Longji let out a sigh of relief, waved his hand and motioned for a few people to get up, and continued: "The sword of the Tang Dynasty opens up land for the plough of the Tang Dynasty, Jia Qing, you can also write down this sentence." Ma Qing's father and ancestors are all important ministers of the imperial court, and after being loyal and good, An Lushan and Geshu Hanzhen can be boldly appointed, how can they doubt Ma Qing! This matter is settled, and whoever wants to talk more, I will drive him downstairs! ”

Ma Lan kowtowed and thanked him, and when he saw that no one from the ministers upstairs objected, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Just now these guys came out because Yang Guozhong lost face today, and now no one really opposes this matter for the sake of Datang Sheji.

Jia Zhi, a scholar from Zhongshushe, quickly drafted the edict and respectfully arrived in front of Li Longji, Li Longji read it, nodded with a smile, ordered Jia Zhi to take it to Ma Luan's side, and said with a smile: "Ma Qing, what do you think?" If there is no problem, this will be announced to the world. ”

Ma Lan hurriedly looked at it, nodded and said; "Thank you, Your Majesty! Weichen is entrusted by His Majesty, and he will do his best to live up to his mission! ”

Li Longji laughed loudly: "Okay! Very good! I'm waiting in this Chang'an city to see how much land you can use the sword of the Tang Dynasty to open up for the plough of the Tang Dynasty! ”

Ma Lan looked at the Son of Heaven, and what he saw from the old man's face was complete trust, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.

What is written in the edict can be described as a chaotic fate. The old Tang Dynasty Emperor seems to have forgotten the Emperor's Mental Technique, which is not at all the normal posture of a high-ranking person.

But the trust is real.

Obviously, this great achievement he has made is extremely important to him, which is why he made this unusual decision.

He really has no ambitions, he just wants the Han people to completely occupy the land in the river and block the expansion of Hu Da's forces into the river. Sooner or later, the rest of the world is within China's borders, and is not within its own target.

But since the Son of Heaven trusts himself so much, maybe he should do more for him.

According to the original historical extrapolation, the Son of Heaven had at least nine years left to live. Nine years is enough time to establish a lot of meritorious deeds.

……

Li Longji smiled, looking at Ma Lan as if he were looking at a nephew. Ma Lan's heart moved, knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to ask for!" ”

"Say it!" Li Longji smiled gently.

"The prince of the country is the prime minister, I was given marriage by His Majesty, and I am the son-in-law of the prince. Weng and his son-in-law are together in the same phase, which is incompatible, and it is because Weichen has the courage to ask His Majesty for permission to let me and Yang dissolve the marriage contract. ”

"No!" Li Longji shook his head and smiled, "This matter must not be done!" (To be continued.) )
