Chapter 53: Jingyuan Yi Shuai?
At this time, in front of the military tent on the left side of the Shence barracks, the crown prince Li Yu and his companions Wang Shuwen and Wang Ling were looking around, pointing and pointing from time to time.
On the side, the soldiers of the Jingyuan Army did not squint, as if they hadn't seen these three people at all, and they looked at Wang Shuwen and Wang Ling with itchy teeth.
Li Yu didn't think it was a pestle, and still looked around with interest, not angry at all because he was treated coldly by these soldiers.
"What do you think, what about the soldiers of Jingyuan?"
After turning back and forth outside the gate of the left chamber camp, Li Yu regained his good mood and suddenly asked Wang Shuwen next to him.
His voice fell, and before Wang Shuwen could say anything, Wang Ling, who was standing on his right side, had already preemptively said: "Jingyuan soldiers, brave and sharp in the frontier, can be used, but ......"
"Just what?"
Hearing the suspicion in Wang Ling's words, Li Yu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"It's just that the arrogant soldiers are fierce generals, and they have repeatedly made trouble, which is really difficult to reassure, and the previous festival made Ma Ling even instructed all the sergeants to write a letter to ask him to be appointed prime minister, isn't this coercing the court?
In my opinion, the Jingyuan army must have a strong general to clamp down in order to be peaceful, otherwise he will have another disaster. ”
Speaking of the second half of the sentence, Wang Ling's face became serious, and his eyes were fixed on Li Yu.
Li Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then pondered for a long time, but finally shook his head and smiled: "Doctor Duan has been fighting horses for 30 years since he joined the army in Anxi, isn't he a strong general?" ”
Hearing this, Wang Ling was silent, and Wang Shuwen on the side said meaningfully: "Doctor Duan can naturally be called a strong general, but I am afraid that Master Jing will change commanders soon." ”
"Oh, that's it?"
When Li Yu heard this, he was surprised, and immediately reacted again, and hurriedly asked Wang Shuwen for verification: "Doctor Duan is a good man, loyal and refined, righteous and colorful, brave and benevolent, since he was appointed as the envoy of Zheng Yingjie in the four towns and Beiting Xingyingjingyuan, he has rarely made mistakes, pacified the army and the people, guarded the western frontier, and made remarkable achievements, how could the imperial court go to his post as an envoy for no reason?" ”
"Alas!"
Mentioning this matter, Wang Shuwen couldn't help but sigh, his face was full of regret: "Your Royal Highness has been in the deep palace for a long time, and it is normal to not know the wind and rain outside, and the two ministers only heard about it from the mouth of the envoy who left the palace this morning, but I think it should not be a rumor." ”
When Li Yu heard this, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Since you already know, why do you have to hide it?" ”
Wang Shuwen coughed lightly twice, and said slowly: "Your Majesty heard that Yang Xiangnian was kind to the late lord Yuan Zai, and intended to implement Yuan Zai's legacy policy - to build a city in Pingliang County, Yuanzhou, send the original army to defend Yuanzhou, move the Fang army to defend Jingzhou, divide troops to guard Shimen and Muxia, gradually open Longyou, and enter Anxi.
It also wants to send two Beijings, Guannei Dingfu Junfengzhou Lingyang Canal, in order to rejuvenate Tuntian.
His Majesty was bewitched by it, so he also gave birth to the idea of building a city and calming the city, and before the peace agreement between the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo was finalized and the boundary was clearly demarcated, the western border line was pushed forward for dozens of miles.
Duan Gong has always been upright, bluntly saying that Fang Chun should not be subject to labor, and said that the frontier defense force is still empty, and he is afraid that the construction of the city will attract heavy troops from Tibet, so he insists on accepting His Majesty's proposal.
And the Jingyuan soldiers were also reluctant to build cities and migrate, and they were disrespectful to the envoys sent by the palace.
His Majesty was displeased when he heard the return, and Yang Yan had always been eager to repay him, but now that he has the power of the government and is dedicated to revenge, how can he give up.
Therefore, the minister decided that within a few days, Master Jing would be handsome. ”
After listening to Wang Shuwen's words, Li Yan's expression became cloudy, and after a long time, he sighed faintly: "If this is the case, then the northwest will be windy again!" ”
"The wind is good, after the west wind, the east wind will rise."
Wang Shuwen showed a little smile on his face when he heard this, and then continued: "The Jingyuan army has been unruly for a long time, if Doctor Duan leaves, they will turn their backs on the court and follow the example of Heshuo to stand on their own, which is exactly in line with Your Majesty's intention to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys."
After cutting off those rebel generals, the court will also have an additional male army directly under the central government. ”
"Having said that, after all, Master Jing has made great achievements for my Tang Dynasty, when the rebellion of the two thieves of Anshi was quelled, the soldiers of the four towns and the Beiting camp contributed a lot, and the people who died for the country were incalculable.
If the imperial court was angry with the soldiers just because they refused to build a city and move, how should it face the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who guarded the border for the country in Anxi and Beiting in the future? ”
Li Yu frowned and groaned, his expression melancholy, obviously not as Wang Shuwen expected.
Instead, he questioned the decision of the imperial court, or the emperor.
To be honest, this really caught Wang Shuwen and Wang Ling by surprise, in his opinion, isn't the prince going to unswervingly support all the emperor's decisions and stabilize the throne.
How can you go against the emperor!
In fact, Li Yu really didn't mean to be high-profile, but he really thought so in his heart, as the eldest son of the emperor, he was deeply influenced by the royal etiquette since he was a child, familiar with the classics of sages, and had the world in mind.
Seeing this, Wang Shuwen couldn't help but secretly sneer, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the head of the imperial family, how can he lack the ruthlessness and decisiveness of the Li Tang royal family, but he is indecisive, looking at the emperors of the Tang Dynasty since the founding of the country, how can there be a benevolent and weak king?
"Your Highness, the minister has a saying, I don't know if I should say it or not?"
After hesitating for a moment, he said thoughtfully.
After Li Yu heard this, he raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Wang Shuwen: "Say it, this palace forgives you for your innocence." ”
"Your Highness, with all due respect, the Hui Dao has not been able to pass for several years, and now Anxi and Beiting are still in and out of the road.
Your Highness must not cause His Majesty to be unhappy because of this, and then arouse suspicion and even resentment! ”
"Hugh is talking nonsense."
Li Yu raised his face and scolded, and then stared at Wang Shuwen with blazing eyes: "This palace has read the documents sent back by Wei Shaoqing from Tubo, and when he said that when he was in Longyou, he personally saw the military movement of Tubo soldiers and horses to the west, which is obviously that there are still soldiers of our dynasty resisting in the northwest. ”
Although he understood that the prince wanted to protect the Jingyuan army, Wang Shuwen was unwilling to sit back and watch the prince and the emperor have a disagreement, so he argued with reason: "Even Anxi and Beiting are still there, thousands of miles apart, and they are beyond the reach of the imperial court.
It must be known that the Hui people have been staring at the fat meat of Anxi and Beiting, holding the mind that our dynasty and Tubo are both defeated and injured, and he is a good fisherman. ”
It's the truth.
Although the Hui people have helped Tang three times.
But it's not a good character, it's a gluttonous one with a big appetite.
Otherwise, how to explain that the envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty to Anxi and Beiting had no news as soon as the Zhenwu army arrived on the grassland, could it be that the sheep on the prairie ate people?
And eat dozens as soon as you eat, and eat up the entire pedestrians of the mission?
When Li Yu heard Wang Shuwen's words, he immediately fell silent.
This is the truth, and he can't refute it.
Seeing this, Wang Shuwen hesitated for a moment and then bowed down and admonished: "Forgive your Majesty's words, Anxi and Beiting are no longer in the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military of our dynasty, and Your Highness really shouldn't worry about it and increase your troubles."
Moreover, Your Highness, as the crown prince and serving the Holy Lord, you should not interfere in the affairs outside the palace without authorization, except for greetings and eating and drinking according to etiquette. ”
Li Yu heard Wang Shuwen's reminder, and then suddenly realized that his identity was embarrassing, and it was not appropriate to point out the country, and saw Wang Shuwen's posture of bitter persuasion, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and finally sighed, and turned his head to look at the red sun on the horizon.
After all, the world revolves around the sun!
Shaoyang, what is it?
"Your Highness will see Guo Lang later, don't say that you have a fierce temperament, if you know that the court is playing such a plan, I don't know how much trouble it will cause."
Seeing that Li Yu was depressed and silent, Wang Shuwen couldn't help but admonish again.
After Li Yu listened, he was silent for a while and bowed slightly, but he agreed.
As Wang Shuwen said, if Guo Ying really knew about this matter, I am afraid that there would be an uproar.
Then the marriage between him and his sister can be regarded as bad.
The so-called would rather demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage, Li Yu didn't dare to be confident that Guo Ying would be a colt, and his sister would not hate her brother.
