7. Who is loyal and who is unfaithful

"Hmph!" The emperor turned his head, his expression extremely unhappy.

Yang Yan knew that when he said this, he must have tried to defeat the emperor's revelation, but he had to say it.

If you want to hate, you hate Li Zhou. Before seeing him off, he told him to be cautious and careful and comfort Liang Chongyi from Xiangyang. But this bastard stayed halfway for two months, stopping and stopping, and he kept sending mails to urge him. But the post stations along the way seemed to be possessed, and all the mails were like mud cows entering the sea without any response.

"Your Majesty, Li Xilie of Caizhou was originally a personal soldier of Dong Qin (Li Zhongchen's original name), but he colluded with Wu Shaocheng and Shaoyang brothers to expel Dong Qin to establish himself. If such unfaithful and unrighteous people were asked to attack Shannan Dongdao and merge with the land of the seven states, what would Your Majesty control it?"

The emperor sneered a few times, then pointed at Yang Yan: "You are so easy to say, I have had you told Liang Chongyi the result since last autumn. I have waited for a month and a month until this year. Liang Chongyi is willing to enter the court!"

"Your Majesty is here to stay... Even if Liang Chongyi refuses to enter the court, he should be stabilized for the time being..."

"No need to keep it steady!" Li Shi could no longer bear Yang Yan's unreasonable push and waved his hand suddenly.

It is because you passed by Xiangyang when you returned to the court as prime minister and verbally promised Liang to be pacified, so I can't do anything to Liang Chongyi? Is it my leader or you in this world?

"You don't need to ask about Shannan anymore. I already have detailed plans." After saying that, the emperor put his hands on his back and stopped looking at Yang Yan.

Yang Yan's tears fell like rain, and his head was deeply paused. What he said below was really heartfelt words: "Your Majesty... The best strategy now is to let Liang Chongyi and Li Xilie restrain each other, the court sits in the mountains and watches the tiger fight, and after pacifying Tian Yue and Li Weiyue, it is not too late to deal with it. He also heard that Your Majesty ordered the gods in the northwest of the capital to conduct camps to prevent the autumn soldiers from returning to Guandong, gather in Bianzhou, and to add Bianzhou City. This is also inappropriate, and it will inevitably anger Li Zhengji, and make Li Zhengji think that Your Majesty gathers troops to join the city.

, It is to be detrimental to him. Li Zhengji and Jianghuai can transport the waters are close to each other. If he attacks, the court will cut off money and silk, what will he have to do to pacify Li Weiyue and Tian Yue? By then, tigers and wolves will rise together, and the court will inevitably be in a difficult position to look at one thing and lose the other. Once the war is delayed, the management will be in trouble. It is better to adopt the advice of the minister and stabilize Liang Chongyi and Li Zhengji, even if he gives the flag and keep Li Weiyue stable, concentrate his efforts to destroy the most rebellious Tian Yue first, razure Weibo, and then use such power..."

Before Yang Yan finished speaking, Li Shi interrupted him: "You are the Minister of the Secretariat, and you are not in line with the general principles. There is no need to continue talking about it."

This sentence made Yang Yan grow up with a miserable face. He was furious: he didn't suppress his temperament just now, and he let out all his thoughts in one breath, but completely angered the emperor.

The emperor's words meant that he was about to remove his own aspect.

"The summoning ends. I will leave Lumenlang and there is still something to discuss. You can leave first."

Yang Yan could only lower his head, close his eyes in pain, then picked up the tablet, got up and left helplessly.

After Yang Yan left, Li Shi sat back to the desk and took out three memorials and showed them to Lu Qi.

One was written by Liu Yan, the commander of Guiguan, Cao Wanggao, and the other was written by Liu Changqing, the governor of Suizhou.

The contents are consistent, and they all say that Liang Chongyi will rebel.

Liu Yan and Cao Wanggao were both preparing to recruit and replenish the army and prepare for combat, while Liu Changqing was the most nervous because he relied on Liang Chongyi's army nearest, and Suizhou was only a Xiazhou, with few grains and few soldiers and no cities. Liu Changqing asked the emperor to make a decision early and ask Li Xilie of Huaixi to conquer Liang, so that the country's confidant could be secured.

"Even Liu Yan has made a note in Guiguan. Yu Zhun, the governor of Jingnan, who was recommended by Yang Yan, had no news to me so far. He was blind and deaf. It's really outrageous!" After the emperor said that, he was angry and slapped the desk hard.

"Then Your Majesty can grant Li Xilie the recruitment of the Han, Southern and Northern Han, and once Liang Chongyi rejects Li Zhou, he can make a legitimate move forward." Lu Qi took the opportunity to say.

The emperor nodded, but he was still worried, so he asked Lu Qi: "What if Li Xilie attacked Liang Chongyi and asked for Qizhou, the seven provinces of Shandong East Road in the name of re-electing the official position?"

Lu Qi was obviously confident, so he planned it for the emperor:

Once Li Xilie attacks Xiangyang, Your Majesty can let Jia Dan, the governor of Shannan West Road, enter Tungucheng, and Hunan Observer Cao Wanggao enter Yueyang. He then sends a general to command Shen Ce to Guo and Shaanxi, which is called reinforcement, but in fact he monitors Li Xilie. If Li Xilie succeeds, Your Majesty will immediately grant a man the governor of Shannan East Road and occupy Xiangyang. This will eliminate Li Xilie's thoughts and reward him with money and silk. This will not only use Li Xilie to destroy Liang Chongyi, but also allow Shannan East Road to gain wealth and taxes to the court in the future, which can be said to be a killing of two birds with one stone.

"Will the Huaining Army (after Li Shi succeeded to the throne and changed Huaining Xifang Town to Huaining) collude with Li Zhengji and embark on the road of rebellion?"

Lu Qi smiled and advised the emperor that Huaixi was surrounded by various towns in the imperial court. Originally, there might have been rebellion capital when Bianzhou was present, but now Bianzhou has returned to the court. With only a few states in Huaixi, Li Xilie was still too busy to accept His Majesty, how could he have the courage to rebel?

In this way, the emperor felt at ease and said that he would prepare the Hanlin Bachelor soon and grant Li Xilie the title of Prince Nanping, so that he could prepare for war as soon as possible.

Then he talked about the fact that King Shu was married and actually ruled Jingyuan.

Lu Qi had actually known it for a long time, but he still pretended to be concerned and suggested that King Shu be the director of Baili New City. "King Shu Fu Mengyu, Lingtai Order Gao Yue, and Yao Lingyan, the queen of Jingyuan camp, are all loyal and kind people. With them assisting King Shu, Your Majesty will be worry-free. After King Shu was out of town for one or two years, the people of Jing must be grateful. From then on, they will be devoted to the court, and Liu Wenxi's affairs will never happen again."

The emperor nodded and then said to Lu Qi: "Please ask King Shu to leave the house, which was advocated by Zhu Li."

"The Prince of Suining is a first-class loyal minister!" Lu Qi hurriedly praised him loudly.

Unexpectedly, the emperor sighed, stood up and hesitated for a while, and said to Lu Qi: "Zhu Li has been in the court for many years, and I am loyal to me naturally knows what I am. He also promised me that he would write a letter to persuade Zhu Tao of Youzhou to send troops and cooperate with the official army to attack Li Weiyue."

"It's amazing!" Lu Qi rolled his triangle eyes and flattered hard.

"Zhu Tao's letter has arrived here secretly. He is willing to send troops, but he also puts forward a condition."

“What conditions?”

"Zhu Tao heard from people around him that Cai Tingyu, the Sima of Lulong Town (although Zhu Li and Cai Tingyu were in Fengxiang, they were nominally the governor and Sima of Lulong Youzhou) attempted to resolve Youzhou, so Zhu Tao hated Cai Tingyu deeply and asked me to kill him. Only in this way, Youzhou was willing to send troops to attack Li Weiyue."

"Then Your Majesty can kill Cai Tingyu." Lu Qi suggested without hesitation.
