In the political hall, the four heads of the Dayu Dynasty were sitting there and reading a recital.

This letter was presented to Li Xu by Wang Yongzhen, the superintendent of the imperial history, at the court meeting, which probably described the imperial court's strategy to recover Victoria, and based on this, he denounced Li Jifu and his son for taking power and harming the country.

Li Xu watched Han Gang, Cheng Qili and Pei Du finish reading the chapters in turn, and he sensed the slightest change in the fluctuations of these people.

The three of them read the recital without any waves, and there were no fluctuations at all.

"What should happen now?" Although his heart was full of anger, Li Xu still forced himself to pretend to be frightened.

"The military affairs were leaked out like this. Pei Du was wearing a purple official robe, with a jade belt around his waist, a soft foot on his head, and his gestures were full of the calm demeanor of the son of the family, even if things were urgent, he was still calm.

"First find out where the news of this Wang Yongzhen came from, and then touch it all the way and punish it severely. ”

The emperor nodded, in Li Xu's opinion, Wang Yongzhen stood up at this time, undoubtedly someone deliberately blocked himself and poked a big hole in his first specific plan.

The news leaked, and it is one thing that the Tibetan side is prepared. What's really bad is that this matter is bound to cause an uproar in Dayu's court. In fact, today's Dayu can not be compared with the bearing of the year, compared with the year "Xiao Guan is waiting to ride, all protected in Yanran." Today's Dayu policy tends to be inward.

In fact, since the time of the Ming Emperor, there have been constant advising the emperor not to attach importance to military merits, and even to seriously deal with those border generals who take risks to pursue military merits.

What's more, once there is a formal conflict with Tibet, the entire Guanzhong region may become a battlefield for war with Tibet, which has actually put the vast majority of officials in the DPRK and China in danger of war. Even if you think about it with your ass, you know that those bastards will desperately oppose their plan to regain Victoria.

At that point, he will be surrounded by a hostile group of officials, and the authority that he has gradually built up since the sweep of the party will also be lost.

What Li Xu really can't tolerate is that the leakers did not hesitate to sabotage the big strategy of recovering Victoria and weakening Tibet in order to snipe at himself and seize real power.

Didn't the leaker think about how hard it was for the people of Sichuan and Shu to live under the threat of Tibet?

"Even if you find out how it leaked out, the strategy behind it will have to be changed, I'm afraid that if the Tibetan side knows, Victoria's Xitan plot is afraid that it will be dangerous, and the most important thing is how to end it later, we must notify Li Jifu as soon as possible, so that he can prepare early. ”

Pei Du immediately made arrangements: "Now that the situation is already on the line, Weichen asked to go to Mianzhou in person to supervise Jiannan Dongchuan Jiedu as a follow-up." Please send troops to Hanzhong as a backup. ”

The Sichuan-Shu Basin is naturally geographically isolated from the Central Plains, and the so-called "Shu Road is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky." "The guards or bandits are turned into wolves and jackals." ”

In order to prevent the occurrence of secession, the Yu Dynasty deliberately divided Sichuan into two jiedu envoys, the Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu envoy stationed in Chengdu and the Jiannan Dongchuan Jiedu envoy stationed in Zizhou. Traditionally, the road into Shu is to pass through the Qinling Mountains to enter Hanzhong, and then take the line of Jiange and Mianyang to Chengdu. And the Sword Pavilion and Mianyang are under the jurisdiction of the Jiannan Dongchuan Jiedu Envoy.

This setting of the size system also avoids the formation of the division of the middle of the river.

After the establishment of the Jiannan Dongchuan Jiedu Envoy, the land of Sichuan and Shu has two Jiedu envoys who are not subordinate to each other at the same level, although the Dongchuan is weak, but it is just stuck in the throat of Shu Dao. If Xichuan intended to rebel, the imperial court would be able to send reinforcements to Sichuan through Shu Dao. If Dongchuan rebelled, the imperial army and the Xichuan army would attack before and after, and Dongchuan would be difficult to separate.

Pei Du proposed to go to Dongchuan in person to arrange, which was nothing more than to supervise the envoys of Jiannan Dongchuan Jiedu, and gather the strength of the entire Sichuan and Shu to prevent the Tubo people from causing too much damage.

"Fengxiang, Jingyuan, Shuofang, these feudal towns must be prepared. ”

The west side of Dayu is connected with Tibet, and each other's territories are intertwined, and the entire border spreads for thousands of miles, which can be said to affect the whole body. The reconquest of Victoria was not only carried out by Li Jifu alone, but also by the entire western feudal towns.

"The Divine Army can't move. Cheng Qili suddenly said: "Your Majesty, this year's autumn tax has not yet been accounted for, and the household department has not yet transferred the food and salary, and it was already very difficult to ask the sons and daughters to suppress the Manichaean mob at that time. ”

After the military system of the Yu Dynasty was changed from "government soldiers" to "Long March athletes", the central government was similar to a large feudal town, and its behavior and actions depended on the eyes of the Qiu Ba under his hands. Especially if you want to go out to fight, then you must have enough money and food, otherwise there will be a big mess.

It's like saying that the God Emperor cleaned up the feudal towns in the eastern part of the country, and he sent soldiers and horses from the northwest to fight in the northwest. But because Caoyun was blocked by the feudal town, the money and grain were a little worse, and as a result, the old men of Qiu Ba were angry and embraced the Jiedu envoy as the emperor and surrounded Bai Yujing.

The God Emperor had no choice but to issue an edict to scold himself, and only then did he expose the matter.

Therefore, if you want to let the masters of the Shence Army dispatch, you must first give a sum of money and food, and now that the money and food are not enough, it is obvious that Cheng Qili wants to dismantle his own platform.

"When will the autumn tax come out?" asked Li Xu.

"It is estimated that it is not enough to bring it out, after all, it must be supplied to the fish father-in-law in the north first. Han Gang said. "Does the Inner Mansion still have some savings?"

"It's not enough, Han Xiang, it's not enough. ”

Li Xu was speechless, just trying to clench his fists. The government affairs, especially the finance and taxation, were held by Han Gang, and the emperor's inner treasury was managed by Cheng Qili, who refused to report even an approximate figure of the money and grain needed, and Han Gang didn't even ask and said that it was not enough, which shows that these two people are sincere and perfunctory.

Or that they never supported the plan to reclaim Victoria.

At this time, it is useless to say anything, without the support of these two people, it is difficult to mobilize a soldier, a grain of rice, and a penny. The three parties, who were originally still affectionate, have now torn off their disguises, and there is no need to ask, it is estimated that these two people are behind the strategy that the supervising imperial history can get the imperial court.

Pei Du could only be silent, he looked at the emperor, and signaled the emperor with his eyes to forbear, now is not the time to break out.

"In this way, I had to give up. Li Xu looked disapprehensive. "It's a shame that such a great opportunity. ”

"Your Majesty, there is a priority, and I see that the Uighur mission is about to enter Beijing. The rice should be eaten one bite at a time, and now is really not the time to fall out with Tibet. What's more, that Xi Tanmou is just a barbarian, a barbarian with a beast heart, who knows what he thinks, and if he dies, he will die. Cheng Qili persuaded: "When Father-in-law Yu returns to the dynasty victoriously, we will cultivate for a few years and the treasury will be abundant, and then it will be too late to clean them up." ”

"Since the implementation of the two tax laws, the income of the imperial court has actually deteriorated, and it has been worse every year. Han Gang mentioned: "The imperial court uses money, or living within its means." No, you can ask the envoys from all over the country to come in, but if you make a big move, you are really powerless. ”

"It's okay, forget it, it's a pity that it's such a good opportunity. Li Xu shook his head, setting the tone.

Cheng Qili immediately praised the saint: "Your Majesty, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and we and Tubo's account don't care about this year or two." ”

"Your Majesty has seen everything. ”

"My Emperor Shengming. ”

Han Gang and Pei Du also sent cheap praises as consolation.

Li Xu sneered in his heart, Lao Tzu would never let the opportunity slip away like this.

Thank you for teaching me a lesson.

We'll see.
