Chapter 355: Struggle

Yang Fugong never dreamed that Li Rupei would actually ascend the throne and become the emperor in the capital Chang'an.

The abduction of the emperor Li Yi to Fengxiang should be a successful move, and there are 20,000 Shence army sergeants who retreated together, which not only achieved the goal of coercing the princes of the Son of Heaven, but also maintained the appropriate strength, this is the most satisfactory ending, it should be said that the negligence of other aspects does not matter, so Yang Fugong, who arrived in Fengxiang, is still very happy.

Li Maozhen, who was waiting in Fengxiang, personally went to the outside of the city to greet him, and also arranged a place for the sergeant of the Shence Army to be stationed, when the two first met, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and they were also very happy, maybe they would start to prepare for a series of big things in the shortest possible time, and these big things would allow them to get a lot of benefits and benefits.

But the emperor actually left an edict of abdication.

After the news of the capital Chang'an came, Yang Fugong and Li Maozhen were stupid at the same time.

Li Yu actually left an abdication edict for the queen mother and ceded the throne to Li Rupei, which led to Li Rupei getting the support of the civil and military officials in the capital, directly ascending to the throne and becoming the rightful emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Fugong left the queen mother, the prince and the prince in the capital, the purpose was to make Li Rupei embarrassed, so that Li Rupei had no way to deal with these people, or killed a lot of people in a fit of anger, so that Li Rupei could be in a very disadvantageous situation, and then the northern feudal towns united, which could make Li Rupei in an absolutely unfavorable situation morally, but it was unthinkable that the abdication edict left by the emperor solved all the problems in an instant, and let Yang Fugong and Li Maozhen discuss all the things, It all feels like it's gone down the drain.

At this time, standing up and reprimanding Li Rupei as a usurper obviously makes some sense, the key is that the queen mother and many princes who stayed in the capital all support Li Rupei, and they all agree or acquiesce to Li Rupei's accession to the throne and become the emperor.

This Spring Festival. For Yang Fugong and Li Maozhen, it was a huge torment, Yang Fugong faintly felt that he fell into a trap designed by Li Rupei, maybe holding the emperor hostage and leaving the capital was to create conditions for Li Rupei, otherwise according to Li Rupei's strength, he could quickly surround the capital Chang'an, so that he would not have so much time to do everything, not to mention the sergeants of the Shence Army who came to Fengxiang sporadically. The bravery of the Iron Blood Army has been told, and the 20,000 Divine Strategies Army sergeants who were left to fight against the Iron Blood Army had no power to fight back under the powerful attack.

Fengxiang is not very far away from the capital Chang'an, and the iron-blooded army can take advantage of the victory to pursue, why did Li Rupei not do this, why did Li Rupei write a letter to the emperor and himself after the iron-blooded army occupied Lintong Pass.

The festival makes the yamen, the wing.

Li Maozhen's face turned pale. Walking around the room, Yang Fugong sat on the side, and the peaceful atmosphere when the two first met had long disappeared without a trace. At this time, they all felt the danger and fear, and Li Yi, who had already given up the throne, became a potato. Not only does it not work, but it also makes them not know how to deal with it.

Li Maozhen, who was short-tempered, almost went directly to teach Li Yi a lesson. If it weren't for Yang Fugong's persuasion, maybe Li Yi would have been imprisoned at this time, since Li Yi had written the edict of abdication, it would have no effect, Li Maozhen also thought of Yang Fugong and the 20,000 Shence Army, and the 20,000 Shence Army could flow down, which is equivalent to greatly strengthening his own strength, but Yang Fugong is a huge trouble, since Li Rupei has rightfully become the emperor, then Yang Fugong's identity has undergone subtle changes, what Zuo Shence Army Lieutenant, what Zuo Privy Envoy, None of this is true.

Besides, the news from the capital Chang'an, Li Maozhen is also clear, Li Rupei's Daming Palace and the palace have cast iron tablets, which clearly say that eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, in this case, all the identities of Yang Fugong have disappeared, with an emperor who has abdicated, this is a huge trouble, maybe this move just gave Li Rupei a reason, so that Li Rupei could justifiably attack Fengxiang.

Li Maozhen didn't want to be the first Jiedu envoy to be hit, so he needed to make a decision in the shortest possible time, how to treat Yang Fugong and Li Yi, who had abdicated, of course, making these decisions could not be made by Yang Fugong, which was very easy to do, Fengxiang was his Li Maozhen's territory, and it was easy to control Yang Fugong.

Yang Fugong didn't think so much for the time being, he was still thinking about letting Li Yi come forward and reprimand Li Rupei for usurping the throne, as for the abdication edict in the hands of the queen mother, it was just something forged by the queen mother in order to save her life, this is a step that has no way, first of all, it must be done first, after all, the jade seal is still in his hands, as long as he operates quickly, maybe this trick can muddy the water.

"Duke Li, our family thinks that if Li Rupei can forge the edict of abdication, then the emperor will be able to come forward to reprimand, as long as the emperor comes forward to reprimand Li Rupei for usurping the throne, everything still has a chance."

Li Maozhen obviously didn't have much interest in Yang Fugong's words, he had already thought about it a long time ago, not to mention whether this move was successful or not, according to Li Rupei's strength, he couldn't compete with this Fengxiang Festival at all, not to mention that Li Rupei occupied the entire south, and now he has occupied the capital Chang'an, the eastern capital Luoyang and Henan Mansion, as long as these places are stabilized a little, he can start to launch a large-scale supply to the north.

At this time, let Yang Fugong toss blindly, and let Li Yi come forward to reprimand Li Rupei for usurping the throne, wouldn't that completely offend Li Rupei, that would be tantamount to sealing his own retreat, maybe Li Yi came forward to reprimand Li Rupei for usurping the throne, that is, when the iron-blooded army began to attack Feng Xiang in a big way.

Li Maozhen has not been stupid to that point, Li Yi and Yang Fugong have no use value, at this time he will not completely put his net worth and life into it, there are so many powerful feudal towns in the north, who knows what Li Rupei's attitude will be, although Li Rupei will turn the Tang Dynasty into thirteen provinces, but in the north of Guanzhong Province, Hebei Province, Henan Province, Hedong Province and other places, there is no appointment of jiedu envoys, which shows that Li Rupei's approach may change.

"What General Yang said is reasonable, but since Li Rupei has ascended the throne, to do these things, we must take into account the many festival envoys in the north, whether they will support it, and look at General Yang or contact the many festival envoys in the north to see what their opinions are, if they do not support this matter, it is useless to do so."

Yang Fugong's face turned slightly pale, and he glanced at Li Maozhen.

Li Maozhen's proposal caught him off guard, it was at this time, how could he leave Fengxiang and contact many feudal towns in the north, wouldn't that be an act of looking for death, any feudal town could arrest him, send him to the capital, and hand it over to Li Rupei, that would be a great achievement, now in Fengxiang, there are still 20,000 Shence troops firmly in his hands, this is his own life-saving straw, although Li Maozhen also has 30,000 troops under his command, but the two of them are not able to do it in Fengxiang for the time being.

Besides, the defeated and fleeing soldiers of the Shence Army are still coming to Fengxiang in a steady stream, if the Shence Army can all come to Fengxiang, the army under his Yang Fugong's control can surpass Li Maozhen in numbers.

Yang Fugong would never let go of these two thousand Shence Army sergeants.

An official of the Yamen entered the wing room and handed Li Maozhen a note.

After Li Maozhen hastily watched the folds, he hugged his fists at Yang Fugong, saying that there were some things that needed to be dealt with a little, and turned around and left the wing room.

After Li Maozhen entered the barracks, with an excited look on his face, he still had some worries about the 20,000 Shence Army sergeants brought by Yang Fugong, thinking that it would be too difficult to swallow these 20,000 people in one go, and it was very likely to disturb Feng Xiang's stable situation if he was not careful.

Li Maozhen spoke to a man in black in the barroom.

"The information you got is accurate, has there been a commotion in the Shence Army stationed outside the city?"

After the news of Li Rupei's ascension to the throne in Chang'an, the capital came, and some defeated Shence Army sergeants entered the barracks, bringing a lot of news, which made the Shence Army unstable, and the people who were placed in the army by his subordinates reported that there were already many officers and sergeants who were ready to leave the barracks and scattered."

Li Maozhen's expression became serious, he still didn't want all the more than 20,000 Shence Army sergeants to scatter, but under the current situation, if the Shence Army sergeants stabilized the army's heart, it would undoubtedly help Yang Fugong, which was something he didn't want to do, and Li Maozhen still had some precautions and fears for Yang Fugong, after all, Yang Fugong had contacted the most powerful feudal town in the north to enter the Jingqin King, if there was any direct connection between Yang Fugong and these feudal towns, then he would not be able to deal with it.

The man in black was still waiting for the arrangement, and Li Maozhen thought about it for a while.

"Continue to pay close attention to the movements of the Shence Army, and report it quickly if there is a rout, and in addition, be careful to help cover up the news as much as possible and not let it leak out."

The man in black clasped his fists and saluted.

Li Maozhen fell into deep thought, a bold plan appeared in his mind, the overall situation of the capital Chang'an has been decided, in this case, there is little point in vain struggle, the most critical issue is self-preservation, of course, it is also necessary to contact other feudal towns in the north, after all, in the edict issued by Li Rupei, the order Jiedu is not to control military and political affairs, which is the most fatal matter for the northern feudal towns.

In the final analysis, everything Li Maozhen does is for the sake of interests, and the choices he needs to make are also for his own interests, and he will not hesitate to pursue the aspect of maximizing interests. (To be continued......)
