"What do you mean by that?"

Yongwang Li Lan looked at Gao Shang with burning eyes, although he tried his best to pretend to be casual, but the surprise and doubt on his face could not be suppressed, and he still betrayed his inner thoughts.

"Slaves were not eunuchs of their own volition, but were forcibly castrated by the Son of Heaven. The slave assisted King Yong, just to avenge the revenge of the son and grandson, please Your Highness do not doubt the slave's sincerity and determination. ”

Gao Shang gave Li Lan a five-body gift.

Well, it seems to be excusable, too.

Yongwang Li Lan nodded slightly, noncommittal. Noble words cannot be said to be unreasonable, but it is not ruled out that it was Brother Ji who arranged the bitter meat trick "fishing". Of course, it's always right to listen to their words and watch their deeds.

"Your Highness knows that in fact, the Son of Heaven has no intention of making King Shou the crown prince. Forcibly making him the crown prince is obviously just a stopgap measure. ”

Gao Shang said to Li Lan quietly.

He thought that the other party would be surprised, but he didn't expect Li Lan to mock with disdain: "Of course, who doesn't know this." On the day of Li Heng's mutiny, our good saint was humiliated like that by King Shou, and now he has the heart to kill Li Xuan, how can he sincerely make him the prince! ”

Li Lan, who has no city in his chest, actually said what he couldn't mention to outsiders no matter what!

"The inside story, can Your Highness tell you a thing or two, and the slave can consult His Highness."

When Gao Shang heard that there was an inside story, his whole person trembled with excitement.

"Uh, actually......"

Li Lan suddenly realized that he had leaked his words, but he also felt that Gao Gao was not like a dog leg who was dedicated to doing things for Brother Ji, so he sighed helplessly and said: "This matter can start from Yang Yuhuan, the first princess of Shou that year. Now the hatred between the crown prince and the Son of Heaven is not something that ordinary people can imagine. ”

So Li Luan explained how Brother Ji forcibly seized Yang Yuhuan, how he humiliated the second Princess Shou and caused the other party to jump off the building and commit suicide, and how King Shou accidentally made trouble. After listening to these secrets, Gao Shang was speechless in surprise for a while.

Unexpectedly, the tattered things in the Li clan's room were far beyond his expectations.

Shouwang Li Xuan is really a ruthless person, and he has to punish his heart when he kills, no wonder the Son of Heaven drove many princes out of Chang'an and placed them in the suburbs of Gyeonggi County, just to prevent these princes and princes from rebelling in Chang'an City!

After Li Xuan's trouble, the Son of Heaven now completely distrusts any adult prince!

Establishing Li Heng as the crown prince is just turning him into a target to attract other princes to attack.

has completed all the "puzzles", and Gao Shang finally knows why Brother Ji asked him to come to Yongwangfu as an "undercover agent".

"Your Highness, it is better to plan it now.

The Son of Heaven asked the slave to persuade His Highness to attack the crown prince, and took the opportunity to support His Royal Highness to fight with the prince in the ring.

In this case, His Royal Highness did not pretend to attack the crown prince to gain a certain authority, and secretly united with the prince to grow together.

When the time comes, as long as there is a chance to bring down the Son of Heaven...... Isn't the opportunity for His Highness to become a great treasure coming? ”

Gao Shang took the opportunity to persuade Li Landao.

pretended to be a plan, but in fact, while secretly strengthening himself, he helped Li Xuan ascend the throne and found another opportunity to get rid of Li Xuan.

Li Lan secretly thought about the noble plan, and I have to say that this is indeed a clever plan!

Although there are still some details to be worked out in the operation, it sounds a little feasible.

At least it's much better than being trapped in the suburbs around Chang'an!

"Well, yes, you do have some intelligence."

Yongwang Li Lan nodded slightly and said approvingly.

"Your Highness has praised it falsely, the slave will definitely do his best to give advice to His Highness, please cheer up Your Highness, don't give up on yourself."

Gao Shang said with a respectful face.

Seeing that Li Lan's face was still a little hesitant, he asked softly, "Your Highness, do you still have any doubts?" ”

"Noble, this king asks you, the party around the Son of Heaven is loyal and loyal, can fight well and has a heavy army, and is also responsible for training the new army.

If you want to start an incident, it is difficult to move an inch without the power of the army. Where will this king get his military power? ”

Li Lan's face was full of confusion, and he asked a little unwillingly.

"The Chang'an Forbidden Army, the possibility of being touched by His Highness is almost none, you might as well look farther.

If there is an elite border army to serve His Highness, it will not be difficult to achieve great things. ”

Gao Shang said slowly, looking like he was in his chest.

"Which border army?"

Li Lan asked in a deep voice. He also knew that the answer was the border army, and the question was only this: which army!

"Longyou, Hexi Erjiedu, Fang Youde's son Fang Chongyong, and his father-in-law Wang Zhonghei, have deep connections here, and these two towns cannot be used by His Royal Highness.

Jiannan Tiangao Emperor is far away, the mountain road is difficult to travel, and a mountain pass can hinder an army of 100,000, and they cannot be counted on. Even if the Jiannan Army is effective, it is better than nothing.

Shuofang and Hedong Erjiedu, power has always been scattered, and there are many mountains during it. Even if one unit obeys His Highness's call, others will not easily follow blindly, and it is difficult to form a joint force.

Only the two towns of Youzhou and Pinglu can provide aid to His Highness, but His Highness needs to wait for the opportunity.

Once the mountains and rivers change, His Highness will have the army of Youzhou to surrender. You can summon Youzhou soldiers and horses to enter Chang'an Qinwang, and you can retreat to a corner of Hebei and wait and see what happens.

Isn't it beautiful to have more than one strategy for both advances and retreats? ”

"Does Pinglu Jiedu make An Lushan?"

Yongwang Li Xuan muttered to himself. I have to say that Gao Shang did move him.

Today's Youzhou Festival makes Huangfu Weiming, obviously not the object that Li Lan can woo.

Huangfu Weiming has a cousin in the family who is the imperial concubine of Brother Ji, and he has also been promoted. But because of this, this person's movements are closely related to how the family sides in line.

Once Li Lan wooed Huangfu Weiming, Brother Ji would definitely notice his movements. At that time, it must be that the chicken did not steal it, but it will eat the rice.

"An Lushan came from a humble background, and the Hu people can't worship the prime minister, the Son of Heaven can't give him a lot of things, but King Yong can give it."

Gao whispered.

Li Lan nodded, although he always felt that there were still many variables in the plan that Gao Gao said, he didn't seem to be able to think of a better way.

Having an answer, even if it's imperfect, or even wrong, is better than doing nothing. At least, I struggled hard.

"Okay, then...... If you tell the Son of Heaven as soon as possible, you will say that the king has completely trusted you and has obeyed your words. ”

Li Lan tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart and said.

"That's natural, by the way, the slave still has to ask for an official position for His Highness. If you don't have an official position, you can't do things. ”

Gao Shang saluted to Yongwang Li Lan, and his face was very respectful.

"Okay, good, you are really the king's humerus, write a letter, write quickly, write now."

Li Lan said excitedly, having forgotten the humility of the upper and lower levels.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the slave will write first, and then show it to His Highness after writing. His Royal Highness thought it was okay, so he sent someone to Chang'an. ”

Gao Shang said with a smile.

……

"Judge Cen, did Fang Guozhong say anything else?"

In the hall on the first floor of the diligent government building, Gao Lishi held a thick letter in his hand, and asked without raising his head while reading it.

"Back to the Gao Inner Servant, Fang Jieshuai didn't have any other instructions, just said that this letter must be handed over to the Gao Inner Servant."

Cen Shen saluted respectfully and said.

"Understood, then go and talk to the saint."

After reading the letter at a glance and ten lines, Gao Lishi nodded slightly and said, noncommittal.

"Resignation."

Cen Shen bowed and thanked him, neatly.

After he left, Gao Lishi hurried to a certain room in the Calyx Xianghui Building, and saw Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, playing the piano inside. Several musicians from Liyuan are playing with it, and the sound of mountains and flowing water is like blowing in the face, which is refreshing.

In all fairness, the profession of emperor is not suitable for Kego. His talent is in the wrong place, in fact, being a musician is more suitable.

Seeing that Gao Lishi was holding a letter in his hand, Ji Ge waved his hand slightly. The Liyuan musician not far away quietly withdrew from the room, leaving the space to Gao Lishi.

"What's in Lux in his hand?"

Brother Ji slowly tied up his hair that had been scattered and asked slowly.

"Back to the saint, the letter sent by Fang Guozhong. He suggested that the grassroots soldiers in the border towns should start changing their guards one by one this year to prevent the border army generals from holding their troops to self-respect.

First of all, the army of Hexi is the first, and the letter is here. ”

Colliers handed the thick stack of letter paper in his hand to Brother Kei, and then stepped aside.

In general, the trivial matters are decided by Gaolishi himself, and he will not trouble Brother Ji at all. But when it comes to the dispatch of soldiers and horses in border towns, Gao Lishi does not dare to make his own decisions.

"Fang's father and son are both loyal ministers, what do you think?"

Brother Ji casually read the letter, then put it aside and asked.

"Back to the saint, Fang Guozhong's words are a long-term policy of peace and stability, and the slave thinks it can be implemented."

Colliers saluted, and by the way, he stepped forward to help pinch Brother Ji's slightly stiff shoulder.

"A little thing, you can decide for yourself later."

Brother Ji said with a slight wave of his hand.

In fact, Fang Chongyong's suggestion is not groundless, nor is it the first one. Datang has already implemented it many years ago, but in the past ten years, Brother Ji has been lazy and doesn't want to toss.

For example, Li Guangbi, who existed like Wang Zhong's heir and righteous son, his original lineage was from the Liucheng Li clan who came from the Khitan people in Youzhou. Then Li's troops did not serve under the command of the Youzhou Jiedu envoy, but were transferred to the east side of the river as a whole and became part of the border army east of the river.

Now, it is the separation of the ministry and the main general, Li Guangbi's descendant is in Hedong, and he himself is here in Longyou!

Similarly, there is also Liangzhou Lun.

It's just that at that time, such things had not been institutionalized, and more of them were aimed at the attached Hu tribe.

Now Fang Chongyong's proposal of "exchanging stations at the grassroots level of the border army" is actually institutionalizing this situation, not a "whim" of random tossing, but taking into account the practice of the border army of the Tang Dynasty all along, and slightly changing on this basis.

The border armies exchanged soldiers and horses, and separated from their familiar generals. I have to say that this is a clever trick to prevent the generals of the border army from sitting on the throne. It's definitely better to do than not to do!

Of course, such a big movement of the army must require additional costs, depending on whether the imperial court is willing to pay this money.

On the one hand, it is to spend money to buy peace of mind, on the other hand, it is to work hard and lose money, in short, no matter how Brother Ji chooses, there are advantages to him and disadvantages to him. There is no perfect solution, it all depends on Brother Kei's own choice.

"If the money is gone, you can let the brother slave find a way, if the frontier is in chaos, it will still cost money to calm it down, far more than this resettlement fee.

Fang Guozhong's words are always serious, so let's do it. ”

After thinking about it and thinking about it, Brother Ji sighed and said lightly.

He likes to accumulate money, but he is even more afraid that the border army generals will support their own troops! As for spending more money, wouldn't it come back if you charge a little more tax?

That's right, make money!

Brother Ji suddenly remembered that incident, and his face sank suddenly.

"Go, bring Zheng Shuqing to me, and Liu Yan also find them, and let them face the saint quickly!"

As soon as he remembered that many treasures had been sold at the last "charity auction", Ji Ge felt a little bored.

That's right, those so-called "treasures", except for the one that was bought by Zheng Shuqing for 10,000 yuan, the others are indeed very poor, and it is normal to be looked down upon by the Chang'an magnates who are used to seeing good things.

But those dogs × really don't understand, what does it mean for him, the son of the Tang Dynasty, to play such a play?

Don't give him any decency for an old man over sixty years old!

Many powerful families in Chang'an City didn't want him to be a Tang saint at all!

Since these people don't want to be decent, then I'll give them a "decent"!

Brother Ji thought with hatred in his heart.

For people who are shameless, Brother Ji has always cared about using the most ruthless heart and the most poisonous hands.

Feeling Brother Ji's anger, Gao Lishi hurriedly crossed his hands and saluted and said, "Don't worry, sage, go and call someone." ”

Gao Lishi hurriedly walked out of the Calyx Xianghui Building, and instructed the palace attendants to quickly go to the office of the Imperial City Shangshu Province to call people. The yamen where Zheng Shuqing and Liu Yan are located are not far from here.

After a while, Zheng Shuqing and Liu Yan, who came in a carriage, were taken by Gao Lishi to the study of the diligent government affairs building. At this time, Brother Ji's mood was still cloudy, and even the blind man had to see the unhappiness in his heart.

After bowing and saluting, Zheng Shuqing asked softly, "I don't know what the saint has to summon Weichen?" ”

"Can't I tell you to gossip if I'm fine?"

Brother Ji scolded with a displeased face.

"Ask the saint for forgiveness."

Zheng Shuqing hurriedly knelt down and saluted, without any discipline.

"That's it, I don't want to see you kowtow! Get up! ”

Brother Ji waved his hand impatiently.

"Liu Yan, the last auction was the price you set. A lot of things have been spilled, what should you be guilty of? ”

Ji Ge looked at Liu Yan with a tiger face and asked, this is purely a pretext.

"Back to the saint, Bao Liu's photo, Wechen is willing to admit the guilt. But in price accounting, Wechen is not wrong. ”

Liu Yan crossed his hands and saluted.

"You're right, but it's not going to be easy."

Brother Ji sighed, turned his head to Zheng Shuqing and said:

"I originally wanted Liu Yan to raise money through the auction of treasures, thinking that it would be the military expenses of the Northwest. Now the income from selling treasure is far from the demand.

Now, I want to issue bonds, which will be repaid by the state treasury without interest in ten years, and raise funds to finance the military expenses of the border army. What do you think? ”

No, it's almost like grabbing money!

Liu Yan complained in his heart, but he still saluted with his hands crossed: "The words of the saint are true, and we have no objections." ”

"Well, it's up to you to issue bonds. At that time, there will be a bottom line for fundraising, and if you can't raise so much money, you don't have to be an official, go home and farm.

In short, the more money you can make to sell bonds, the better, and there is no cap. You can go back to the yamen to do business, and I will send someone to give you an errand to issue debts, go ahead. ”

Brother Ji waved his hand, Liu Yan wanted to say something, but after looking at the Tang Dynasty with a solemn face, he finally swallowed what he wanted to say. Then he took the order and left.

After he left, Brother Ji said to Zheng Shuqing: "Aiqing, did you write down the list I asked you to record last time?" Especially those who don't pull a dime a die at the auction. ”

"Back to the saints, I wrote it down."

Zheng Shuqing said cautiously.

"Well, you ...... do that?"

Brother Ji beckoned to Uncle Zheng, and after the other party came over, he muttered for a long time, and finally emphasized: "In short, if the bonds can't be sold, I will ask you." ”

"Please rest assured, the saint will definitely have a way."

Zheng Shuqing was so frightened that he hurriedly saluted the crime, and Brother Ji nodded with satisfaction and let him leave the diligent government building.

The cold is much better, keep the monthly pass first, and support the event at the end of the month.
