CHAPTER XXVII
Hit the list, ask for collections, flowers, recommended! )
Half a month ago, just as Liu Bi was about to walk out of the ravine, there were two piles of music on Li Chen's case, one of which was good and the other was bad.
Most of the good ones are related to this year's harvest, the wind and rain are good, the grain output in all parts of Guanzhong is higher than in previous years, and because of the tax exemption, the price of grain has also dropped, and the government treasury is still full - according to the plan, the government has exchanged a large amount of grain in cash and in kind. The news from Henan, Hedong, Hexi and other places that have been sent one after another is also good. Li Yu was very grateful to God, although he kicked him here, he didn't kill him all.
The bad thing is that his plan has gone awry. And the reason for the mistake was not that he and his followers were not thoughtful, but that he had just thanked God.
played with him, and God who sent him to the Tang Dynasty played with him again.
The root of the disease is still in Liu Pi.
Li Yu's plan was to let Liu Pi out of Beijing, paralyze Ju Wenzhen, Yang Zhilian and Shu Wang, and then let Li Yu deploy a chase to delay Liu Pi's return to Sichuan, and at the same time send ministers into Sichuan to meet Wei Gao. The whole plan can be said to be seamless, Ju Wenzhen, Yang Zhilian, and King Shu finally sent Liu Bi out safely after a lot of effort, and a few people settled down a lot in Chang'an, concentrating on waiting for the feudal town to be listed, and at the same time training the army and placing the heart. Li Yu's pursuit of Liu Bi was also very smooth, and as soon as he entered the Qinling Mountains, he chased Liu Bi into the mountains. Li Yu's envoy and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Liu Yuxi, and Liu Zongyuan's teacher, Quan Deyu, also set off from Chang'an for Chengdu as scheduled. Originally, everything was under control, but at this time, God didn't think it was fun.
So it rained heavily. The rain was nothing, but it was raining so much. It was so big that Li Yu's subordinates, who chased all the way to Bashan, lost Liu Pi's traces, and also caused the Qinling flash flood to erupt, blocking Quan Deyu's trip.
So Li Yu waited anxiously and received a recital from Quan Deyu; So while Quan Deyu was waiting for the flash flood to recede, Liu Pi found his way back to Sichuan.
Looking at the movement in front of him, Li Yu secretly thought: Could it be that this sword soldier really can't be stopped?
Li Yu took a long breath and stood up from the dragon chair. He knew that in history, after Wei Gao's death, Liu Pi occupied Liangchuan, and Tang Xianzong sent the general Gao Chongwen to put down the rebellion for nine months. Li Yu knew that if Quan Deyu could not persuade Wei Gao before Liu Bi went to Xichuan, then Liu Bi, who returned to Xichuan, would be enough to influence Wei Gao's judgment, and if the original trajectory of history continued, this war would be inevitable. Li Yu didn't want his new policy to consolidate his foundation and Peiyuan to be delayed by this rebellion.
If this battle is unavoidable, let its damage be minimized! Li Yu, who took a deep breath, made a decision and said in a deep voice:
"Li Zhongyan!"
"Yes."
"The people of the middle school on duty are here to see!"
"Yes."
The next morning, several fast horses rushed out of the Mingde Gate and only went in the direction of Qinling, which was the envoy who went to Xuanquan Deyu to return to Beijing.
Soon after, several more fast horses rushed out of Myeongdeokmon, but this time in the direction of Chungju. The reason for going out was Du Huangsheng's admonition two hours ago.
Du Huangshang said to Li Yu: "The old minister thinks that His Majesty is too worried, even if Liu Pi has different intentions, but Wei Taiwei is loyal to the imperial court. Wei Taiwei has ruled Shu for nearly 20 years, if you want to rebel, why wait for today? His Majesty only needs to order Quan Deyu to wait for the official road to be repaired, and then go to Shuzhong to announce the decree, and Wei Taiwei will definitely tie up Liu Pi, a traitor, to Chang'an. ”
Du Huangshang's words were half a relief to Li Yu, and half of them were true. Although several other prime ministers also thought so, Li Yu was still not happy. He knew that Wei Gao would not rebel, but Liu Bi would, and he would soon, but the difficulty was how to make these prime ministers understand and agree to his troop transfer plan. Although the prime ministers supported the emperor, they also had their own ideas. Even Li Chun and Li Yu thought that the reason why the emperor wanted to kill Liu Pi and then quickly was only because Liu Pi was rebellious, not to mention these prime ministers?
Do you want me to tell you that I have traveled from the 21st century, so I know that Wei Gao will not survive more than August, and then Liu Pi will definitely rebel?
Li Yu, who had a headache, looked at the several prime ministers who were waiting for him to reply, cleared his throat and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I naturally know that Wei Taiwei will not rebel, but Wei Taiwei is sixty years old this year, and he must have a hidden illness in his body all year round, and I am afraid that if Wei Taiwei makes a mistake, Jiannan Xichuan will be taken advantage of by villains."
As soon as Li Yu said this, the faces of several prime ministers couldn't hold back. Among the four prime ministers, the youngest Du Huangshang is already sixty-five, and Du You is over seventy. When the emperor said this, is he thinking that we are old?
Fortunately, Li Yu immediately realized his gaffe and added:
"Captain Wei has been in the army for decades, and has fought hundreds of battles, although he is younger than your father-in-law, he must have hidden diseases in his body. I read the records of Taizong these days, and remembered that Qin Shubao, the Duke of Hu Guo, was ninety years old, but he could not go on the horse to fight early, and his blood was not strong for ten thousand years, and he reported that it was caused by excessive blood loss in the battle when he was young. I thought of Wei Taiwei from this, and I don't know if Wei Taiwei will be the same as Hu Guogong. ”
Li Yu is reading the records of the emperors of the previous dynasties these days, but the matter of Qin Shubao is not recorded in the records of Taizong, but by Li Yu reading Tang Dynasty notes and novels in college, and reading in Zhang Wencheng's "Chaoye Zai". These prime ministers are all well-educated people, how can they not know, but this is not the time to accuse the emperor of reading wild history. Fortunately, Du You was old and knew that it was just the emperor's unintentional words, so he relieved the siege and said:
"Your Majesty's thinking is really thoughtful, Wei Chengwu (Wei Gaozi) is really not as healthy as the old minister. Lao Chen heard that Wei Chengwu has to go to Mount Emei every year to recuperate for a period of time. ”
The verbal admission is only for everyone to step down, and it does not mean that the prime ministers agree with the emperor's judgment. After the embarrassing scene passed, Du Huangshang still said:
"In the first year, Captain Wei sent an envoy to the court, and the old minister also inquired, saying that Captain Wei is now in excellent health, riding a fierce horse, and driving a hard bow."
Although it is not explicitly stated, the meaning of the words is very clear. Listening to Li Yu was extremely depressed, too ignorant, too ignorant, and there were many people who suddenly had myocardial infarction and stroke, why didn't you see it? It's a pity that Li Chan is not a real Li Chan, if it is a real Li Chan, he can say confidently: "Can't I ride a fierce horse and drive a hard bow before I have a stroke?" "There are a lot of historical materials in the Tang Dynasty in Li Chen's time, and he doesn't know what Li Yu is. (Got dizzy, huh?) Hehe) So, Li Yu had to find another way and said:
"What if Taiwei Wei is deceived by Liu Pi and refuses to bind Liu Pi to Beijing?"
That's a problem. Du Huangshang pondered for a while, and said: "Yes, Wei Taiwei Su and Lu Xianggong (Lu Zhen) are friendly, although His Majesty has summoned Lu Xianggong back, but Lu Xianggong is still in Zhongzhou, and the envoy will go to Zhongzhou not long ago, it is better to send an envoy to Zhongzhou now, or he can intercept it on the road, and order Lu Xianggong to repair a letter to persuade Wei Taiwei, this matter will be harmonious." ”
The power of Lu Zhen's article is famous all over the world, and several other prime ministers have also praised it again and again, Li Yu also felt that this was a feasible plan, so he immediately ordered Li Jifu to draw up an edict. But Li Yu still insisted on recalling Quan Deyu, he didn't want such a generation of Wenzong, who had three tributes and protégés all over the world, to fall into Shuzhong.
