2. Liu Xuanzuo breeds pigeons
"Dou Zhonglang wants to elect his clan father Dou Yu as the chief minister of the Yangzhou Governor's Office and deputy envoy of the Jiedu. How dare you ask Situ if this matter?" Gu Xiu was straight to the point in the military palace and asked Liu Xuanzuo.
This straight Ju made Liu Xuanzuo feel a little sad.
In fact, Gu Xiu was right. Dou Yu was the son-in-law of the former prime minister Han Huan, and the father of Dou Shen, and the nephew of Empress Zhaocheng of Emperor Ruizong of Tang. He was successively in Fangzhou and Tongzhou. Dou Shen was a great helper when he was young. Now, he was to repay his kindness, to strengthen the strength of the Dou family, and to win over the factions left by Han Huan, and to recommend him to the emperor, and to let Dou Yu enter Huainan, named Du Ya's deputy envoy, in fact, to replace him.
Dou Shen's philosophy of struggle is also very concise: after all, when I formed an alliance with Du Ya, I promised to promote Du Ya as prime minister, but now I am the prime minister. Du Ya, who has a very old experience, will definitely not accept it, so let's take the initiative first and transfer Du Ya from the vital and prosperous Huainan Town back to the court and give him a free job.
So how did Duya know?
Because Gao Yue found out, the three cousins of Jie Shanji, a magistrate of Baocheng County, were all officials in the yamen of various provinces of the Imperial City. They used manual books to eavesdrop on corners and often betrayed the information to Xingyuan Jinzouyuan. They were Gao Yue's central nuclear force in Chang'an Intelligence Network.
After Gao Yue found out, he generously told Du Ya through Gu Xiu's mouth.
Du Ya comes to ask Liu Xuanzuo again.
In fact, Liu Xuanzuo, who is also aligned with Dou Shen, has long heard of this idea, but now he can only pretend to be deaf and mute. He really doesn't know that there is any other thing about Gu Xiu.
But Gu Xiu sneered and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if Situ knows or not, but there is something you have to tell Situ."
Liu Xuanzuo was very nervous and asked what was going on and wanted to hear it.
"The Holy Lord also had a precaution against Dou Zhonglang. The Central Plains and all prescription towns in Jianghuai are all important places in life. How can Dou Zhonglang's family be the only one? The Holy Lord's mind is that if Dou Wei enters Huainan, he will transfer Fujian Observation Envoy Wu Coo to Shaanxi Guo Observation Envoy."
When Liu Xuanzuo heard this, he didn't care and thought that although Shaanxi Guo was important, what did it have to do with me?
But Gu Xiu's next sentence was that, relying on the Shence Jingdong Camp, Shaanxi and Guo Observation Commander Wu Cou would soon become the governor of Xuanwu Army.
"All nonsense!" At this moment, not only Liu Xuanzuo, but also his son Liu Shining, generals Liu Chang, Li Wanrong, Han Hong and others were furious, wishing they could draw their swords and cut Gu Xiu, who was swaying his lips and tongue.
But Gu Xiu was unmoved at all and continued to talk:
"Dou Zhonglang has reached an agreement with the Holy Lord. This time, the Xuanwu army was transferred to the pass and pacified Qiang. After the end, Situ will be recalled to the capital to retire and retire, just like the story of Li Sheng and Ma Sui. The Holy Lord's uncle Wu Coo immediately entered Bianzhou and became the governor of the Xuanwu Army."
"Dou Shen is not at all with Wu Coo!" Liu Xuanzuo couldn't help but say it.
"It is precisely because Dou is involved in the disagreement between Wu Cou, so Dou Yu and Wu Cou must be balanced. One town of Huainan and one town of Bianhua are safe in the heart of the Holy Lord."
"Does the Holy Lord want to cut off the vassal again?" Liu Xuanzuo was furious and said this nakedly, meaning that the court should not forget the shame he suffered when he cut off Heshuo in the past.
"Situ, the tiger never leaves the mountain. The current situation is extremely treacherous, even Dou Zhonglang doesn't trust it." Gu Xiu said no more and said goodbye and left.
The next day, in the pavilion on the Fantai, Liu Xuanzuo pointed at his forehead and hated to his descendants. The subordinates said: "Our Xuanwu Army protects the canal transportation and helps the Holy Lord work diligently to reduce the vassal states. In the end, I am afraid it is not going to be cut on my head..."
Liu Chang thought about it and said, "During the festival, you should not believe everything about Huainan."
"But you must believe it in the slightest." Liu Shining retorted.
"How about asking the school to ask for information?" Li Wanrong suggested cautiously.
Liu Xuanzuo nodded and said that he would do it.
Ten days later, the atmosphere in the capital was still very tense. People in the government and opposition heard that the court was about to conquer Dangxiang in Weibei, but the candidate for the head coach has not yet been decided.
At this time, Dou Shen did report to the emperor, saying that Du Ya, the governor of Huainan, was too extravagant when he was guarding Yangzhou.
The emperor asked, what is the luxury method?
Dou Shen said that Du Ya engages in dragon boat races in Yangzhou every year. In order to make the boat faster, he puts oil on the bottom of the boat. In order to prevent the boat from being wet with splashes, he also puts oil on the boat brocade clothes. The oil alone costs tens of thousands of yuan every year. In addition, the salt administration is in chaos and the people complain.
The emperor has always been frugal, but he really hates this kind of extravagant behavior. But he also told Dou Shen that Du Yaban had a high reputation and how should he be placed if he did not guard Huainan?
Dou Shen said that he could be the capital of the East.
Anyway, this position is also idle.
Then Dou Shen strongly recommended Dou Yu as the governor of Huainan, but he was very smart. He did not talk about his kinship with Dou Yu, but talked about his relationship with Han Huan, saying that this would make Southeast peace as usual.
In principle, the emperor agreed to Dou Shen's request.
Then the emperor talked about the war on the spot and asked Dou Shen, whether Liu Xuanzuo, the Xuanwu Army, agreed to the request of the general (if not, I would use Gao Yue)?
Of course, Dou Shen hurriedly said, agreeing.
The emperor asked casually that most Xuanwu army was from Henan and Jianghuai. If he left the town and came to the northwest, would he feel unhappy and cause a change?
Dou Shen said that the imperial court had already arranged the arrangements, so as to ensure that the soldiers' equipment fees were not short of.
As a result, the next day, the officials of Xuanwu Army entered the Zuoru Academy received the news:
"The emperor asked about the tax situation of Liu Xuanzuo, the governor of Xuanwu Army, in the town. He was in power for many words. Liu Xuanzuo replenished the tuition and exploited the people to support the soldiers. The emperor was unhappy and wanted to use others to replace him."
The Xuanwu Army, who had no fixed report, entered the Zuyuan. When he was passing the message to Bianzhou, the content became more and more outrageous. As a result, when he arrived in Kaifeng County, he became the emperor and immediately sent a slogan to investigate the matter while the Xuanwu Army was pacifying the Qiang.
At the same time, as Gu Xiu said, the emperor also issued an edict to ask Fujian Observer Wu Coo to be the Shaanxi-Guo Observer (this was a very normal personnel transfer).
Several information was summarized here at Liu Xuanzuo, and a strong "chemical reaction" occurred.
Liu Xuanzuo immediately sprinkled grains on the Liaodi in northeastern Kaifeng and fed the flocks of pigeons living in the local swamp.
"With Xuanwu Army, you, my father and son are nothing. What Dou Zhonglang? You want to betray me, it's bullshit." He clapped his hands, looked at the flying wild pigeon, and said this to his son Liu Shining.
Three days later, while hunting in the field, Liu Xuanzuo fell off his horse and was "injured" and bones. He quickly submitted a letter to the emperor, saying that he could not lead the army to conquer Weibei.
Dou Shen was shocked, but he didn't know what Liu Xuanzuo was thinking.
The emperor was very regretful on the surface, and said a little angrily to Dou Shen that Liu Xuanzuo's real name was Liu Qiao, and I gave him the name Xuanzuo, hoping that he could help the royal family diligently. However, after Han Huan died, he refused to fight against Xifan. Now he has conquered Dangqiang, and he refuses again. It seems that the quality of this "Xuanzuo" is worrying.
"At the critical moment, Gao Yue is still reliable." The emperor said this openly.
But just when I was in the Emperor's Xuanshi, an explosive message came.
The Dangxiang of Pingxia suddenly crossed Baiyu Mountain and entered Yanzhou in Weibei. It seemed that there were signs of a continuation of troops from the Dangxiang of the six prefectures.
