readx; Li Heng's office is in the Zichen Pavilion, that is, the imperial study of his former son Li Yu, of course, he is not qualified to work in the Zichen Pavilion, his duty is to approve the review on behalf of the young emperor Li Shi, to some extent, he executed a part of the emperor's power, the reason why it is only a part, is because he can only approve the folds, he can't be like the real emperor, he has the right to appoint and dismiss officials above the third grade, nor can he have the power to issue internal edicts from the university, and his power is not even as good as the political hall, If he opposes a decision of the Political Affairs Hall, he can only return it to the Political Affairs Hall for retrial, and has no right to veto it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Therefore, many times, Li Heng will express his opinions directly through the agents of the political affairs hall, and his agents are Wang Hui, Yang Guozhong and Chen Xilie are actually only two voting rights, and they themselves have no meaning to Li Heng.

At this time, in the court room of the Zichen Palace, Li Hengzheng was nervously discussing Ge Shuhan's countermeasures with Wang Heng and Ling Hufei.

Li Heng was very annoyed by Ge Shuhan's trouble, but what he was even more annoyed about was that Ge Shuhan didn't tell him about it at all, he was like everyone else, he knew from the official's twists and turns, Li Heng walked a few steps in the room with his hands behind his back, he felt that Ge Shuhan was getting farther and farther away from him, the last carriage incident, Ge Shuhan didn't explain anything to himself afterwards, this time the Xianyang incident, he still didn't take himself to heart, is he still his own person now?

"Mr. Linghu, tell me, what should I do with this matter?" Li Heng turned his head and looked at Linghu Fei.

Ling Hufei is now a guest of the crown prince, a subordinate official of the East Palace, just an idle position, but his real position is Li Heng's staff, giving advice to him.

Ling Hufei pondered for a moment and then said: "Returning to His Highness the Prison State, his subordinates think that this matter needs to weigh the pros and cons, and there are disadvantages in supporting the sanction of Ge Shuhan, which means that His Highness will lose his support, but there are also disadvantages in opposing the sanction of Ge Shuhan, which means that His Highness will face the surging public opinion, which will seriously damage His Highness's prestige among the people and middle and low-level officials." ”

"Do you mean to keep me neutral?"

Ling Hufei shook his head and smiled: "For Ge Shuhan, not opposing is support, there is no meaning, in fact, his subordinates know that the sanctions against Ge Shuhan will definitely be passed, because the sanctions plan is proposed by Zhang Yun, coupled with the support of Li Qing'an, Pei Min and Li Yan, the final vote in the political hall will definitely be four to three, and the key now is that if we risk losing our reputation to oppose the plan, will Ge Shuhan accept this favor and be grateful to His Highness." ”

At this time, Wang Heng next to him said: "Actually, Ge Shuhan is a very practical person, the reason why he supports His Royal Highness is that he wants to get greater benefits, he wants to get the Guannei Dao and make an envoy for the Guannei Festival, but His Highness did not give it to him, he is naturally dissatisfied with His Highness, it can be seen from this Xianyang incident that he is unscrupulous at all, and he does not think about His Highness's reputation at all, he actually has no His Royal Highness in his heart." ”

Li Heng was still a little hesitant, he was worried that Ge Shuhan would join his father in anger, which would be a bit more than worth the loss.

Ling Hufei saw Li Heng's worries, and said: "Your Highness, it is inevitable to sanction Ge Shuhan, if Ge Shuhan is not angry at the sanction and takes refuge in the emperor in anger, then there is no way, but for His Royal Highness, he has not only offended the people, but also lost Ge Shuhan, and how to prevent him from defecting to Jiannan is something that Li Qing'an considers." ”

At this time, a eunuch walked quickly outside the door and reported in a low voice: "Your Highness the Prison State, the political affairs hall has come to urge again, please ask Wang Xiangguo to go to the meeting quickly." ”

Li Heng nodded, and said to Wang Heng: "You go to the meeting quickly, and at the same time, you tell Yang Guozhong and Chen Xilie for me that we resolutely support the sanctions against Ge Shuhan." ”

．．．．．． The conference room of the government hall was a large and sealed room, without windows, the door was heavily guarded, hundreds of soldiers stood dozens of steps away from the door, no one was allowed to approach, and there were only two doors in the whole room, one large door, and a small door to the room facing the right side.

The room is large enough to accommodate a meeting of 100 people, and generally speaking, the meeting of the government hall is not only held by the ministers of the government hall, but also by the principal officials of the relevant departments when discussing related matters.

If the meeting involves more affairs, there will be more officials to attend the meeting, in addition to the seven foreign ministers, there are also Li Xin, the imperial historian, and Jingzhao Yin Cui Guangyuan, in addition, there is also a humble little person, this person is the only witness and survivor of the Xianyang incident, a servant who takes care of the horses for the county order, named Song Wulang.

The meeting in the political hall has not yet begun, everyone is still waiting for Wang Heng, Li Qingan is slowly drinking tea, but he is thinking about the causes and consequences of the Xianyang incident in his heart, Ge Shuhan killed people at the gate of the barracks, and killed the Xianyang County Decree with his own hands, doesn't he know the consequences of doing this?

Li Qingan knows very well that as long as a person sits in a certain position, his thoughts and thoughts will be different from ordinary people, Ge Shuhan, as the envoy of Longyou Jie and the king of Xiping County, will he really be so impulsive?

If Ge Shuhan was really a reckless man, then when Tianbao replaced Wang Zhongji in the sixth year, it would be impossible for him to perform the good show of interceding for Wang Zhongji to buy the hearts of the army.

The answer is obvious, with Ge Shuhan's old cunning, he will not do such a stupid thing to destroy his reputation, if he wants to kill, he will also send people to change his appearance halfway to intercept and kill, and will never openly kill people at the gate of the barracks.

To be sure, Geshuhan did it on purpose, so what was his purpose in doing so? At this time, Li Qingan had already vaguely guessed that this was probably because Ge Shuhan was going to find an excuse to join Li Longji, so he picked quarrels and provoked trouble, and let the court punish him, especially Li Heng, so that he could take refuge in Li Longji in a grand manner and avoid the notoriety of betrayal.

It should be like this, lax military discipline and betrayal of the lord, which of the two is more serious, Ge Shuhan is clear!

Li Qingan took a sip of tea slowly, and he began to think about the consequences of Ge Shuhan's defection to Li Longji.

At this time, Wang Heng hurriedly walked in, hugged his fists to everyone and said, "I'm sorry, I'm discussing government affairs with His Royal Highness the Prison State, and I'm late." ”

He sat down in his seat and said apologetically, "Then let's get started!" ”

Li Qingan nodded and said to Cui Guangyuan: "You can start." ”

Cui Guangyuan whispered a few words to the official Song Wulang, telling him not to be nervous, just explain the truth of the matter.

Song Wulang stood in front of the supreme power of the Tang Dynasty, his legs trembling. tremblingly told the truth of the matter.

"In the middle of the night five days ago, Li Zheng and the old people in the three villages in the western suburbs of Xianyang found Wei Xian Ling overnight, saying that a cavalry team of the Longyou Army had captured sixty-four young women under the pretext of searching for enemy spies...."

"Wait!"

Chen Xilie interrupted Song Wulang's narration, and Li Qingan glanced at it dissatisfied, and said, "Does Chen Shangshu have any questions?" ”

"I have a little doubt about the details, the city gate is usually closed in the middle of the night, how can people from these villages enter the city to find the county order?"

Next to the imperial history of the Cheng Li said: "I will explain this, generally speaking, the city gate is to be closed, but if there is a major event, the county order can go out of the city overnight, I have confirmed, these villagers did not enter the city, but the Wei county order took the officials out of the city." ”

Song Wulang hurriedly said: "That's right, it was the Wei County Order that took us out of the city." ”

Li Qingan nodded and said, "You go on, during this person's narration, I hope no one will interrupt his words again, and we will discuss it together after he finishes speaking." ”

Song Wulang continued: "Wei Xianling was very cautious, he did not go directly to the barracks, but went to the village to understand the situation, and only after having the exact evidence did he go to the barracks, because Wei Xianling heard that the rules of the Geshuhan military camp were not allowed to ride a horse close to the camp gate, so he asked me to wait under a tree three hundred steps away, I saw with my own eyes that the group of women were released and cried into tears, and three corpses were carried out, and then the villagers were very angry, they seemed to recognize an officer, so they fought, and then Geshuhan came out, and he rode on a horseWith a large iron spear in hand, I heard the soldiers shouting, 'Marshal Geshuhan has arrived!' ’．．．．．”

Song Wulang couldn't help crying in the end, "Wei Xianling had a quarrel with Ge Shuhan, and was stabbed to death by Ge Shuhan from behind with an iron gun. ”

There was silence in the political hall, and needless to say, everyone guessed the situation behind, Ge Shuhan killed everyone in order to kill people, but he missed this official who watched the horse.

Cui Guangyuan took Song Wulang down, and Li Xian, the middle of the imperial history, also reported the preliminary investigation results to the political affairs hall, "In front of the Geshuhan military camp, a large area of blood and several ornaments and shoes left on the ground were found, and there were blood stains on them, which were confirmed by the families of the missing people, and the evidence was conclusive, I counted a total of 435 missing people, including the county order and the 64 women who were snatched, all of them should have been killed by Geshuhan, I tried to enter the barracks for inspection, but Geshuhan refused, and no soldiers were allowed to contact us, the situation should be true. ”

A scholar brought a plate containing bloodstained shoes and a few silver ornaments, a list of missing persons and confessions from family members.

At this time, Zhang Yun sighed and said: "The human and material evidence is complete, Ge Shuhan took the women in the first place, and then killed the people and killed the mouth, and also killed the Xianyang County Commander in a frenzy, I thought that as the Tang Army, this move is unforgivable, as the king of Xiping County, it is necessary to bear the primary responsibility, therefore, I propose to cancel the food and salary assistance to the Longyou army, and remove Ge Shuhan's Xiping County King and Longyou Jiedu as the envoy, and the Longyou Jiedu envoy is temporarily concurrently served by Li Youxiang, and the empty army of Longyou can be temporarily defended by the Anxi Army, and recruit new troops in Longyou as soon as possible. This is my plan, I don't know what you think? ”

There was silence in the room, no one objected to the sanctions plan proposed by Zhang Yun, and in fact could not oppose it, in the face of strong public opinion and the bottom line of fairness and justice, no one would push themselves to the common front of Ge Shuhan.

Li Qingan put down the fold and said slowly: "What I need to remind everyone is that we cannot deprive Ge Shuhan of his actual military power, and our sanctions are likely to push him to Jiannan, I hope everyone must have a clear enough understanding of this consequence." ”

Li Qing'an's gaze swept around everyone, and finally fell on Wang Heng's body, Ge Shuhan is Li Heng's person, and it should be Li Heng's statement in the end, Wang Heng should have discussed this matter with Li Heng just now.

Wang Heng said unhurriedly: "Although it is possible for Ge Shuhan to defect to Jiannan, we can't let him go because of this, otherwise, how can we explain to Guanzhong Li Min, these are two things, I firmly support the sanctions against Ge Shuhan and the Longyou Army, but Li Xiangguo is also the envoy of the Longyou Festival, I think it still needs to be discussed." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Heng smiled at Li Qing'an and said: "I'm not saying that Li Xiangguo doesn't have this ability, but I think Li Xiangguo is too tired, as the two major military positions in Anxi and Hexi, and as the right minister, and at the same time he is also the pacification envoy of Guannei Dao, people's energy is limited, I don't want Li Xiangguo to be tired and sick in the future, Li Xiangguo, I mean well, please don't blame Xiangguo." ”

Li Qingan smiled slightly: "Wang Xiangguo may not know yet, I have officially resigned from the post of pacification envoy of Guannei Dao this morning, and it is recommended to set up the Guannei Jiedu envoy, and merge the Guannei Jiedu and Shuofang Jiedu, collectively referred to as the Guannei Jiedu, I recommend General Guo Ziyi to serve as the Guannei Jiedu envoy, so that I have the energy to concurrently serve as the Longyou Jiedu envoy, what does Wang Xiangguo think?" ”

Wang Heng was speechless for a long time, Li Qing'an exchanged Guannei Road for Longyou, and gave Guannei Road to Guo Ziyi, so that Li Qing'an owned all the land west of the Yellow River.

Li Qingan no longer paid attention to him, and said to everyone: "Okay, now we will start a simple vote on Zhang Shangshu's sanction plan, and those who agree can raise their hands." ”

After speaking, he raised his hand, and Zhang Yun also raised his hand.

．．．．．．． The resolution formed by the meeting will be sorted out by the Zhongshu Sheren and reported to Li Heng, the superintendent, and will be officially promulgated after his approval.

Hundreds of cavalry escorted Li Qing'an's carriage slowly on Suzaku Street, and Pei Min was also in the carriage, sitting opposite Li Qing'an, talking about the content of today's meeting.

Pei Min was a little puzzled and said: "Qing'an, I haven't been able to figure it out, why Zhang Yun is so enthusiastic about this matter, it stands to reason that he has nothing to do with Ge Shuhan, and he is not in charge of the military department, with my understanding of Zhang Yun, he is a person who is not profitable and cannot afford to be early, I can't see where his benefits are?" Could it be that Qing'an has some private deal with him? ”

Li Qingan smiled slightly: "Uncle, don't think about Zhang Yun, as long as you want Li Longji to benefit, everything will be solved." ”

Pei Min slapped his head, and then suddenly realized, yes, Zhang Yun is forcing Ge Shuhan to Li Longji, and making a great contribution to Li Longji first, so that it can be explained why Zhang Yun suggested taking away Ge Shuhan's position as the envoy of Longyoujiedu, this is actually cutting off Ge Shuhan's back road, Zhang Yun is silent, and his means are really high!

Li Qing'an saw that Pei Min had understood, so he explained to him again: "Li Longji got Ge Shuhan's 50,000 strong army, and Gao Xianzhi's 100,000 army, he has 150,000 troops in his hands, he is likely to counterattack Chang'an, this 150,000 army is probably not an opponent with my Anxi army alone, I must unite with Guo Ziyi's Shuofang army, maybe there is a chance to win, this is the reason why I gave up the Guannei Road to Guo Ziyi, so that he and I have common interests, so that he will send troops to help me wholeheartedly." ”

Pei Min heard that Li Qing'an was so far-sighted, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Qing'an, compared to you, I feel that I am really too angry, and I also feel old." ”

Li Qingan gently patted the back of his hand on the table, as if to comfort him, and he said softly: "Uncle, you are a pragmatic person and a doer, you should go to my court room to review and review the folds, deal with government affairs, and fight with others, just let me do it, uncle, do you understand what I mean?" ”

In the past ten days, Li Qing'an has had enough of the heavy labor under the bright halo of Youxiangguo, he feels that he wants to become a slave, this is not what he wants, his wife's uncle, Pei Min, the secretary of the ministry, is undoubtedly the best substitute.

He saw that Pei Min didn't quite understand his words, so he decided to have a good talk with him tonight.

．．．．．．． On the night of the sanction decision made by the political affairs hall, Ge Shuhan, who got the news, led the army to leave Xianyang and drove towards Hanzhong.

In June of the first year of Sadaji, Geshuhan officially took refuge with the former emperor Li Longji.
