Yan Xiaosi also took the opportunity to get out of the camp section envoy in Hexi to find Li Siye and ask him for a way, Li Siye asked Cen Shen to go outside to control the wind, led everyone into the partition room, crossed his knees in front of the screen and said: "I thought they were going to boil frogs in warm water and slowly strip you of your power in the army, but I didn't expect that there would be such blunt means." This is a good thing to keep you on your toes. ”

He spread his hands and told the simple truth: "Can bend and stretch for the big husband, Yan Xiaosi, and you, life is like the tide when it is high and low, don't give up because of the good luck of the moment, hope that there will be a high tide when there is a low tide, and when we need to be dormant, then calm down, even if it is low and small, even if it is flattery." Even the ancients said in books that when a gentleman is a gentleman, he will be a gentleman, and when he is extended, he will be extended. Don't think that your backbone is hard enough, the knowledge of survival and the knowledge of fighting are the same, and save yourself as much as possible to have a chance to turn the tables in the future. ”

After hearing this, everyone knelt in front of Li Siye in unison, Duan Xiushi sighed and said: "Let us be wronged, there is no problem, but as a captain, you will definitely have to succumb to others when you go to Chang'an, and if you don't have your own people around, you will definitely be excluded by the eunuchs, so how can we rest assured." ”

Li Siye smiled: "I said those words just now, didn't I say them in vain?" As long as you are patient, nothing is a thing. ”

He stepped forward again to help Zang Xiye up and said, "Zang Xiye and I will go to Chang'an together, and there is still a support between us." You should know that if you are removed from your official position, it has nothing to do with any conflict with the Uighurs, and even if there are no Uighurs, they will find other excuses to get rid of you, because the Hexi Army is the strongest of our three towns, and they will not stop until they hold it in their hands. ”

He picked up Yan Xiaosi, held his hand and said: "Xiaosi, as soon as Zang Xiye leaves, the Hexi Army will be handed over to you, you must find ways to keep those generals and captains under the command of the Flying Tiger Cavalry and Artillery Battalion, as long as the middle level of the Hexi Army is not exchanged, it will always be in our hands."

Yan Xiaosi whispered in a hoarse voice: "My lord, please rest assured, although Li Kuo is a festival envoy, he is attached to Li Fuguo and other eunuchs, and from now on, it will definitely be that Yu Chaoen who has the final say in the army, and I will have a good relationship with that Yu Chaoen, and there will definitely be no mistakes." ”

Duan Xiushi and Feng Changqing also crossed their hands with emotion and said, "We will swear allegiance to the captain to the death."

"Okay, okay." Li Siye rubbed his hands, not knowing how to calm down at this moment.

……

In the few days after Li Fuguo arrived in Luoyang, he went non-stop to various armies to reward official positions and greatly promote the generals of various armies. It is worth mentioning that he promoted Li Chongbao, the second son of Li Siye, again in accordance with the holy will, from the battalion officer to the military envoy of the Qiuzi Army.

This is just a means for the emperor to manipulate people's hearts, although it is said that he snubbed Lao Tzu, but promoted his son, so that the generals in Li Siye's army could not find room to complain secretly.

Li Fuguo has also earned enough prestige and authority in the past few days when he came to Luoyang, no matter where he went, he was hugging from front to back, and he couldn't help but flutter up, and Cui Yuan, who was left behind in Xijing, also began to shout and drink.

Yu Chaoen, as his follower, is naturally conscientious and conscientious by his side, and he is also quite popular with Li Fuguo.

Li Fuguo stood in the Ming Hall of the Vientiane Divine Palace with his hands behind him, the cyan floor tiles under his feet spread in all directions, and the huge red palace pillars were neatly arranged. When you get used to this kind of weather, you will naturally have a sense of arrogance.

He turned his head sideways and looked at Yu Chaoen behind him and asked, "I heard that when you were not yet developed, you once received the favor of Li Siye?"

Yu Chaoen hurriedly knelt on the ground in a panic, and kowtowed again and again: "Godfather, my son doesn't want to deceive you, it's just that the past is too bitter, and I'm ashamed to mention it to others." Godfather, you know me, I have always been loyal to you and Your Majesty, even if Li Siye was kind to me in the past, it is not as good as your great kindness to me, godfather. ”

Li Fuguo snorted proudly and said with a smile: "Get up, we don't mean to blame you." ”

He was pacing back and forth with ease, reaching out and stroking the gilt on the railing of His Majesty's steps, and said with a smile: "What you say reminds us of the days when we first entered the palace." I am ugly-looking, and I am not treated well after entering the palace, and I have been brushing the toilet for a year just for those palace maids and eunuchs, and I have no complaints about the humiliation, so I can get a slight promotion from Gao Lishi. Later, the emperor wanted to send eunuchs to serve the prince, but the prince's position at that time was unstable and in danger, and no one was willing to go, so we picked up this shit luck. They didn't even expect that the crown prince would one day become emperor. I served carefully in the East Palace, gained his trust, and finally survived to this point. ”

"You've been a hard worker just like us, that's why we think you're reliable."

Yu Chaoen stood up and wiped his tears, and said with his crossed hands: "Thank you godfather for trusting me." ”

Li Fuguo smiled happily: "You can't be ungrateful, otherwise the people around you will look down on you, of course, you have to repay the favor that Li Siye gave you back then." Godfather will find you a chance to pay back everything you owe him, and then you can do things for me in a down-to-earth manner. ”

"Godfather is gracious, and Chao En will repay him with liver and brain." Yu Chaoen fell to his knees with another thud, and his face showed a look of gratitude to Dade.

Li Fuguo raised his head proudly, took a breath of the imperial aura emanating from the palace, lowered his head and raised his triangular eyes and said coldly: "Since you have the power of the Hexi Army in your hands, you can take care of it for me, and those who are disobedient should be replaced, those who should be killed will be killed, and what will happen to your godfather will bear it for you." At the same time, we must also recruit a few reliable people to serve us obediently. ”

"Godfather, don't worry, I'll find an excuse to clean up a few people after I go down, and give them a dismount."

"Okay, good, the strength of the Hexi Army is the elite of the world, especially the Flying Tiger Cavalry and the artillery battalion, like a sword and a shield. Whether it is attacking the city or breaking the formation, there is no invincible opponent in the four seas!"

Yu Chaoen stood up tremblingly, bowed and stood behind Li Fuguo, with a hint of treachery and pride hidden in his eyes.

……

The envoy of the Hexi Jiedu was set up in the palace of the former military department of the Imperial City of Luoyang, and Li Kui, the envoy of the Jiedu, also served as the envoy of the Luoyang Servant and the ambassador of the rent, and was in charge of the grain transportation of the canal and waterway. Previously, Xu Yuan and Zhang Xun scuttled a shipwreck in Suiyang and cut off the navigation of the waterway, but now that Luoyang has been recovered, the rebels have no chance to go south, and it has become the focus of Li Kui's work to reopen the waterway so that the transportation can be unimpeded.

Naturally, he handed over all the authority of the envoy of the Hexi Jiedu to my eunuch Yu Chaoen, which was originally arranged by Li Fuguo, and of course he did not dare not agree.

Yu Chaoen sat in the hall with a pot of tea, and instructed the people around him: "Go and call Yan Xiaosi, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, to me." ”

Follow the command and go.

After a while, Yan Xiaosi entered the hall, although he was wearing armor, he still humbly bowed and crossed his hands and said, "Humble Yan Xiaosi see Father-in-law Yu."

Yu Chaoen glanced at the corner of his eyes and asked with a smile: "Deputy Envoy Yan's salute is a bit heavy, our family, like you, is a subordinate under the command of the Jiedu Envoy, you should be treated with the courtesy of a colleague, as a general in the army, how come you don't even have this backbone." ”

Yan Xiaosi stepped forward and bent his waist even lower: "The lowly position is well-informed, and I already know that although Li Kui is the envoy of the festival, you actually have the final say in the army, and the lowly position naturally has to follow your pace and obey your call." ”

Yu Chao En raised his chin and waved his hand heavily on the desk beside him, shaking the tea bowls: "Since you know that this official is in charge of the Hexi Army, why didn't you come to see me for a long time!" Let me wait for you here!"
