Li Heng's face also changed after hearing this, but he didn't expect that he would lose his favorite eighth daughter, Princess Yonghe, who was the most beautiful and beautiful Princess Yonghe, and married Li Siye's adopted son! The adopted son, who is not related by blood, no matter how you look at this deal, he has lost a lot of money.

"How is that possible?" Li Heng stretched out his hand to support the case and shook his head repeatedly: "How could he compensate an adopted son for 3,000 Long Xiang Army, and how could he give a few carts of property?"

Li Fuguo smacked his tongue again and again and expressed his incomprehension: "The slave and the maid don't quite understand, this is all the sin of the slave and the maid, when there was a rebellion, Chang'an was about to fall, and the slave and the maid did not send someone to investigate and rashly pull the line, it is really damned!" With that, he slapped himself twice.

"It may be that Li Siye deliberately did this to confuse us, so he is a big crime of bullying the king!"

Li Heng glanced up at him, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction, he held the case and said: "Not really, it may be that he really loves this adopted son, now that the matter has come to this, he can only make a mistake, Li Chongyun then added an official position, and is still in charge of the Long Xiang Army."

"Everyone," Li Fuguo suddenly knelt on the ground and crossed his hands and said: "Li Siye's father and son, one is in charge of the Longxiang Forbidden Army in the palace, and the other is in command of more than 100,000 strong troops in feudal towns outside. In the past, when Emperor Taishang was on the throne, he and An Lushan were already in great difficulty, and they bribed the Manchu dynasty with heavy pepper money. Now that An Lushan has rebelled, and if Li Siye does not contain it, the situation will be uncontrollable. The old dynasty Yuwentai used the Zhou dynasty to replace Wei, and Yang Jian used the Sui dynasty to replace the Zhou as a warning. ”

Li Heng hurriedly got up and helped him up, sighed and said: "Don't I know that Li Siye's authority is too heavy and endangers Sheji, but he has recently recovered Chang'an and made such a feat, and the eastern capitals of Luoyang, Henan, and Hebei are still in the hands of the rebels, I still need to rely on him to quell the rebellion, how can I reduce his military power?"

Li Fuguo knelt down in front of Li Heng again and persuaded him: "When he recovers Luoyang in the future and pacifies Henan and Hebei, his prestige will also reach its peak, can everyone still restrain him?" Besides, as long as everyone has soldiers in their hands, who can they send to recover Luoyang? Whoever is sent to quell the rebellion can't be quelled, so why do you have to have a Li Siye? ”

Li Heng nodded and asked sincerely, "Fuguo, in your opinion, how should I act?" ”

Only then did Li Fuguo get up from the ground, leaned into the emperor's ear and said: "In the name of rewarding, quickly summon Guo Ziyi, Wang Sili and Li Siye back to Chang'an, this is done so as not to make him suspicious, and then crown him as the third duke, and make his three sons and one daughter and all his family members high-ranking officials, so as to show Your Majesty's kindness." removed him from the position of the three towns and camps, and crowned him with the position of deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses. The soldiers and horses under his command were redivided into three camps: Hexi, Beiting, and Anxi, and the candidates for the Jiedu envoys and the Jiedu supervisors were of course decided by you. ”

While Li Heng was still pondering, Li Fuguo stepped up and said: "Regarding the candidates for the Jiedu envoy, there are three people who want to recommend to Your Majesty. ”

Li Heng hesitated and waved his hand and said: "Isn't this too urgent, Li Siye is not like Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, both of them were promoted after the rebellion, and the foundation is not stable." You must know that Li Siye has been the envoy of the Beiting Festival for ten years, the envoy of the Anxi Festival for seven years, and the envoy of the Hexi Festival for four years. If it is too obvious, it will be countered, and now that the situation is so tense, I can't help but look ahead. ”

Li Heng continued: "I believe that Li Siye has no dissenting intentions, but it is still not good for him to have too much military power after all, if those people under him have other ideas, or if the changes in circumstances will make him have other ideas, it will be good for him to weaken his authority as soon as possible." Just ......"

Li Fuguo took two steps forward, raised his palm and said fiercely: "If that's the case, why don't you come more simply?" ”

Li Heng's face turned a little pale in an instant, and he shook his head like a rattle: "Never!" Never! This should not be done unless it is absolutely necessary. It's better to summon them to Chang'an first, and I'll test Li Siye's attitude first, but this matter can't be leaked out in advance. ”

The master and slave discussed in the inner hall for a long time, but in the end they did not reach a clear result, Li Fuguo was anxious, the emperor was too indecisive, if he was replaced, even if he got rid of Li Siye, why not?

After saying goodbye to Li Heng, he swayed his body and walked outside the hall, and met Li Yu, the king of Guangping, who was about to enter the palace to face the saint, bowed his head and crossed his hands and said: "The old slave sees His Royal Highness the King of Guangping." ”

Li Yu hurriedly bowed to Li Fuguo, for the eunuch in front of him, he didn't dare to treat him like an ordinary palace person. His father relied too much on him, not only added the position of the prince of the country, but also made the official Kaifu Yi Tong Sansi, and the limelight has far exceeded that of his grandfather's former eunuch Gaolishi, and the clan respectfully called him "Wulang".

After the two of them left, Li Fuguo suddenly turned around and called Li Yu: "Your Highness? ”

Li Yu turned around and asked, "I don't know what happened to Goro?" ”

Li Fuguo slowly walked to Li Yu and asked, "The old slave once heard that Li Siye secretly sent troops from Fengxiang to attack and seize Tongguan without passing you. Moreover, he drew up an all-out strategy such as closing the gate and fighting dogs and annihilating the enemy in Guanzhong, and he did not inform His Highness in advance, let alone report to His Majesty, isn't that so? ”

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's true, but my father gave us an order to recover Chang'an, and specially stated that all decisions do not need to be reported, which is also reasonable." ”

"Your Majesty, he is saying that your decision does not need to be reported, but Li Siye ...... If he doesn't report it to His Majesty, it doesn't matter, how can you even hide it from Your Highness, this person controls the military power and sets you up, his heart must be wrong, Your Highness should be more careful in the future! ”

After Li Fuguo finished speaking, he walked outside the hall, took a few steps and turned around and admonished: "Be more careful!" ”

King Guangping stood in place and frowned in contemplation, before he lowered his head and paced to see Li Heng.

……

Li Siye led his troops to retreat from Wuguan to Shangluo County, and refused Wang Sili's invitation to return to Chang'an with him, under the pretext that he wanted to rectify the soldiers and horses stationed in Bashang first.

After sending Wang Sili away, Li Siye was still in a state of doubt, but for Dai Wang's calculations, he already believed in it. Li Heng was weak and suspicious, which was the root of the illness he brought from the crown prince's position, and this disease worsened after he ascended the throne as emperor.

He thinks that Li Heng has not completely broken with him, or that he simply does not have such guts, but there is no shortage of ruthless people around the emperor, and there are many people who are willing to do extraordinary things on behalf of the Son of Heaven, which makes him have to be wary.

He tied up his line in the mansions of big families in Shangluo County, and only called the four most trusted people around him, namely Dai Wang, Tian Zhen, Yan Xiaosi and Duan Xiushi.

"A certain pair of emperors and sons can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, he fled to Lingwu, only the remnants of the prince's six rates around him, and there is no money to support the operation of the imperial court, I sent him the Long Xiang army and several large carts of property, he was able to quickly gain a firm foothold in Lingwu. This time to recover Chang'an, I only sent Ma Phosphorus and his son King Guangping into the city together, so that he alone won the hearts of the people of Chang'an and won great honors. ”

Dai Wang stood below, the sandalwood mask had no joy or sorrow, and his voice could not hear the ups and downs of emotion: "In the eyes of the emperor, the courtiers should do whatever they want, and there is no question of benevolence or indifference." My lord, you always unconsciously see yourself as an equal with the emperor, which is not right. ”

Li Siye touched his nose and nodded, turned around and asked the four of them: "In your opinion, how should X respond." ”

Dai Wang stepped forward again and said, "I have three strategies for the lord to choose. ”

"Oh, but what are the three strategies? Come on. ”

"The soldiers and horses controlled by the imperial court have been defeated by Fang Xuan in the battle of Chen Taoxian in early September, and only 10,000 people led by Wang Sili are left, and now they have lost a lot in holding the military pass, and only seven or eight thousand people remain. Guo Ziyi brought 20,000 people from Shuofang to Guanzhong this time, but intercepted An Shouzhong's towing river at the Pujin Ferry, and lost nearly 30 percent, and their total was only 20,000 people. The rest of the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, such as Qarlu and Bahanna, were not to be worried. ”

On the other hand, there were 23,000 flying tiger cavalry in the hands of the lord, 13,000 cavalry of the Han Navy, and more than 45,000 infantry corps and artillery battalions in the rest of the army, plus 15,000 rebels who surrendered, which was close to 100,000. Now Ma Phosphorus is leading the army in Chang'an City, and the emperor's personal guard, Long Xiang's army, is also in the hands of your eldest son, Li Chongyun. Now the entire Guanzhong, as well as Chang'an City, is completely undefended for you. As long as you raise a large army and go straight to Chang'an, control the court, enter the Tang Dynasty and ascend the throne as the emperor, and retreat to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. That's what I'm talking about. ”

"Absolutely not," Duan Xiushi's face changed in shock, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Although the rebels are in chaos now, the hearts of the people are still in the Tang Dynasty, and the doctor must not take this dangerous move." We entered the pass from Hexi to quell the rebellion not only for the royal family, but also to save the people from hanging upside down. Now there are An Lushan rebels in Hebei, Guo Ziyi in Shuofang, Li Guangbi in Hedong, and the old emperor in Shu. Once the doctor does this, it will make the world reproduce the chaos of the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, and the feudal towns will attack in all directions, and the Central Plains will be weak since then, causing the Hu people to go south again, and the doctor will also become the sinner of the world. ”

Li Siye glanced at him seriously and said, "I also know this truth, so if you say it, I won't use this strategy." ”
