8. The East Road Ambassador of Shannan
But what Guo Xi said, including what Li Xilie said, actually did not have any evidence in the court.
Speaking of this "rebellion" Shandong Dongdao Jiedushi Liang Chongyi, it is related to a unjust case in Tang.
The protagonist of the unjust case called Lai Wang. After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, the rebels swept across Hebei and Henan, heading to Jianghuai, the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty. Lai Wang was still mourning for his father at that time. After being appointed by the court, he immediately rode alone to Yingchuan to defend the city. After Lai Wang entered the city, he mobilized soldiers to prepare the city wall, and the rebel formation rushed like clouds. Lai Wang stood at the top of the city and held a strong bow to guard the city. The rebels all came to respond to the strings and defeated the rebels. Later, Huang got a nickname from the enemy, called "Lai Jie Iron", describing his strength and good combat.
Later, Wang fought east and west, and together with other Tang generals, he made great contributions and became the governor of Shandong Dongdao, and Jingjie was stationed in Xiangyang City. However, when the Anshi Rebellion gradually subsided, the Tang court began to be afraid of the governors who held heavy troops in various places. Lai Wang was no exception. Emperor Suzong of Tang appointed Lai Wang as the governor of Huaixi and the fifteen prefectures of Henan. On the surface, he showed his importance to him, but in fact he was a plan to "transfer tigers from the mountain" and hoped to transfer him from Xiangyang and then abolish his power. However, Lai Wang resisted and asked his soldiers to collectively submit to the court to "retain" himself to continue to seize Xiangyang. This made Emperor Suzong very angry. Soon after Emperor Suzong passed away, and after Daizong ascended the throne, he wanted to move to Huaixi again, but Lai Wang found a reason to delay and refused.
Finally, Daizong secretly instigated Sima Pei Li to attack him, but Pei Li was defeated by Lai Yan. The captured Pei Li was escorted to the capital by Lai Yan. Daizong was ashamed and angry, and wanted to comfort Wang, so he sentenced Pei Li to death (well, exile first and then death, and the land was Lantianyi, which was familiar with the recipe and the familiar taste).
After Pei Li's death, Lai Wang was also a little uneasy. In the end, he left Fangzhen out of the ethics of a Tang Dynasty minister and went to the capital to apologize to the emperor. He was appointed as the Minister of War, and served as the Shanmaster Envoy with the Left Pushe Pei Mian.
As a result, the following year, Lai Wang was framed and died by the official Cheng Yuanzhen. Historical books said that Daizong was "blinded".
When the news reached Nanyang, the garrison troops that Lai Wang originally arranged here were dispersed, and only his subordinate general Liang Chongyi took the opportunity to fight back to Xiangyang. Two other generals, Li Zhao and Xue Nanyang, were elected as the new governor, and Daizong had to admit it. After that, Liang Chongyi gathered 20,000 elite troops to seizure the seven states of Shannan, including Xiang and Han, to establish a ancestral hall for Lai Wang, and colluded with Wei Botian Chengsi, Ziqing Li Zhengji, Chengde Li Baochen and others to resist the orders of the court. This move by Daizong not only failed to retake the east road of Shannan, but instead created a new separatist town.
In addition, Huaixi Town, which is adjacent to Shandong East Road, has been constantly reported to the court to attack Liang Chongyi since Li Xilie expelled Li Zhongchen and replaced him. The two towns were almost in the same way.
Now Guo Xi openly exposed Liang Chongyi's "rebellious plot" on the Hanyuan Palace decoration, which made everyone know about the court.
Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang from Huaixi once again volunteered to the court as the vanguard of rebellion.
The war between the central government and the Shandong East Road seemed to be about to break out.
Just when Li Shi asked about the proposal, Prime Minister Yang Yan strode out and said, "When I returned to the capital from Daozhou, I passed by Xiangzhou and talked to Liang Chongyi."
"Oh?" Li Shi on the rope bed did not express his opinion, and he asked Yang Yan to continue.
"Liang Chongyi told me that he was not willing to be separatist, but because he was killed the following year after coming to the court. He had been disobedient for many years, how could he dare to abandon Fang Zhen and return to the capital?"
"Where is Yang Qing's opinion?"
Yang Yan's long beard moved, held up the tablet, and immediately asked the emperor to say, "I have agreed to Liang Chongyi at that time. After returning to the court, I will definitely report to the Holy Lord, asking him to pardon his crimes and the soldiers of Xiangzhou, and to prompt him to surrender to the court as soon as possible."
"That...is also very good..." When Li Shi said this, there was actually a certain gap between what he thought in his heart.
Li Shi was already dissatisfied with his dissatisfaction. This dissatisfaction was against Yang Yan. "It turns out that Liang Chongyi is rebelling whether he rebelled or not. I am a polite person. It depends on your former personal promise from the people of Yangshan?"
But Yang Yan did not notice Li Shi's violent changes at all. He took full advantage of his own opinion and believed that Liang Chongyi was roughly a "evil and orderly" faction, and his power was the weakest among the four towns (Wei Bo, Chengde, Ziqing, and Shannan). He only wanted to protect himself. Unlike Heshuo's rebellious town, he could still strive for comfort. As long as he could solve the Liang Chongyi problem without bloodshed, the court would then go out to Guandong and suppress the other three towns, and would have no worries.
And the Guo Xi and the Wu brothers shouted, "Your Majesty, Liang Chongyi has been revealed. If you don't make up your mind to calm down, you will definitely cause endless harm!"
"Stop!" Yang Yan was furious and wanted to punish Guo Xi, of course, for falsely accusing Fang Zhenjieshuai.
But Emperor Li Shi stopped him, saying that he would hand Guo Xi over to the Censorate, and it would not be too late to deal with the matter until it was cleared. He also said that Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang would go back to Huaixi for the time being.
The Wu brothers are still waiting to argue, and Yang Yan sneered and said to them: "Don't think I don't know the Caizhou idea. Unfortunately, the Holy Lord Chaming now, your plan will not succeed."
So Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang could only retreat with hatred.
Soon, the Imperial City Constitutional Platform Office and the Censor of the Third Court Station were under the Mandu Hall. The Censor Cui Ning and the Censor General Lu Qi, the chief chief of the Censor General, were all sitting on the couch, discussing the trial and judgment of Guo Xi. The other judges: Tian Jin, the chief minister of Dali Temple, and Li Zhou, the clerk of the clerk, also entered the Censor General, and wanted to have another "Three Offices' Envoys to Trial".
At this moment, Gao Yue, the censor in the hall, gave a wink at his father-in-law and Lu Qi in the queue, meaning "Li Zhou is Yang Yan's gangster, and he is the supervisory spy sent by Yang Yan."
Cui Ning and Lu Qi also understood it. After invited Tian and Li to sit down, they discussed their handling of Guo Xi.
The Censor Lu Zhi suggested: "You can temporarily place Guo in the Daming Palace and wait until the Xiaoyu envoy sent to Xiangzhou will clarify the situation and then deal with it."
But Gao Yue immediately turned away and said in court, "Guo Xi had no reason to frame Jie Zheng, hoping to provoke a disaster. Even if he did not impose a major punishment, he would have to flow in Lingnan for a long time. Otherwise, Liang Chongyi's suspicion would have arisen, and even if he sent a slogan to go, he would only talk without speculation."
Cui Ning, Lu Qi, and Li Zhou immediately nodded together, and when the Dali Temple Chief Tian Jin saw that all three of them nodded, he also nodded quickly.
In this way, Guo Xi's ending was decided and he was sentenced to exile for 5,000 miles and went to a county below Chaozhou to be a county lieutenant. The man was detained in the Censorate that night.
In the courtyard outside the prison, Gao Yue, who was standing straight tonight, looked at the sparkling fire at the door of the prison opposite. His mind was not calm yet, and he was walking around, trying his best to plan step by step.
Exile to Guo Xi was just a step in his plan.
Although Guo Xi sued Liang Chongyi for rebellion as an "accident", the Wu brothers represented Li Xilie, the governor of Huaixi, and this time they entered Beijing, they would definitely be on the testimony to attack Liang Chongyi.
It was very simple. When the Wu brothers entered Beijing, the staff in the Huaixi Jinzouyuan secretly contacted Lu Qi, and Lu Qi secretly told the Cui Mansion on Shengpingfang.
