The sky is old, the sea can be turned over, and it is difficult to eliminate this hatred. I often hear the envoys asking for peace, when will the phoenix return?

——"Ruan Lang's Return·Shaoxing Yimao Snow Walking in Poyang Road" Xiang Ziqiu (Song Dynasty)

...

Just as Bai Fuli Hentian was in full swing, changes were also quietly taking place on the battlefield of the Central Plains.

On this day, Bai Fu received a secret report from Yan Zhuang and Tang Kui at the same time: After An Qingxu fled to Yecheng, he became more charming and indulged in love every day, and handed over the military and national affairs to his confidant ministers Gao Shang and Zhang Tongru.

The ministers were noble, and Zhang Tongru fought against each other every day and fought each other, making the fake Yan court chaotic and the court was sluggish. Cai Xide, the general of the Yan army, was strong and straightforward, and could not stand Gao. Zhang and the other two repeatedly advised An Qingxu and offended Zhang Tongru.

Zhang Tongru was vindictive and falsely accused Cai Xide of secretly surrendering to Tang. As an insider, he was about to attack and kill An Qingxu. When An Qingxu heard this, he was furious and defied the opposition of the soldiers of the three armies, he then killed Cai Xide.

As soon as Cai Xide died, his direct subordinates were very disappointed and thousands of people fled. The generals of the Yan army were full of complaints, resentment and anger, and no longer did their best to implement the military order.

An Qingxu then appointed Cui Qianyou as the envoy of the world and to control all the military forces of the Yan army. Cui Qianyou was stubborn and violent, cruel and bloodthirsty, and the soldiers were disobedient. The military morale was gradually disintegrating and the military discipline was corrupt. The soldiers of the three armies were no longer willing to be loyal to An Qingxu.

Bai Fu nodded secretly and said to himself: "Master Zhongsi said nothing badly. Use spies well and will do everything wrong. Now, without any effort, Yan Zhuang and others have used to get rid of the rebel general Cai Xide.

Heroes, my enemies. Once this person dies, there will be no more powerful generals under An Qingxu. Gao Shang, Zhang Tongru, Cui Qianyou and others are not worth worrying about."

...

As soon as Cai Xide died, the Yan army was in turmoil and the world was turbulent. The news that the ruling Yan government and the country was dissatisfied with each other and the dissatisfaction of generals and ministers was soon spread to Chang'an.

At this moment, there are many internal conflicts among the rebels, which is the best fighter to eliminate the remnants of An Lushan.

On September 21, Suzong recruited and dispatched the governor of Shuofang, Guo Ziyi, the governor of Huaixi, Lu Jing, Li Huan, the governor of Xingping, Xu Shuji, the governor of Huapu, Li Siye, the governor of Zhenxi, Hebeiting, Li Siye, the governor of Zheng and Cai, Ji Guangchen, the governor of Henan, Cui Guangyuan, and Dong Qin, the governor of Pinglu. The eight-way army gathered a total of 200,000 infantry and cavalry to attack Anqingxu.

Emperor Suzong also ordered the Hedong Jiedushi Li Guangbi and the Guannei Zelu Jiedushi Wang Sili to lead his troops to assist.

What is puzzling is that Emperor Suzong did not set up a commander for the more than 200,000 troops, but appointed eunuchs in the army, Kaifu Yi and Sansi Yu Chaoen were the commander of the Guanjun Rongxuan and the comforting disposal envoy, and dispatched nine armies.

Bai Fu thought it was inappropriate. This matter was very serious, so Bai Fu rushed back to Chang'an overnight to learn about the details.

When he returned to the Bashu Guild Hall, Bai Fu asked Huang Zhen and Tang Kui to discuss the matter.

Tang Kui said angrily: "Yu Chaoen is an accomplice to An Lushan. It would be fine if Your Majesty doesn't believe it. How can you value this person so much?"

Bai Fu said: "If I tell you that Brother Zhen is an An Lushan secret spy, do you believe it?"

Tang Kui said: "How is that possible? I have known Huang Zhen for a long time."

Bai Fu said: "If you can think so, your Majesty will think so too. What's more, Yu Chaoen is a eunuch and has always served him.

If you are by Your Majesty, in front of you, in front of you, and in observing your words and expressions, you will definitely be trusted by Your Majesty.

Now An Lushan is dead. Even if Yu Chao's head and mouse were both ends, he would now be loyal to His Majesty with all his might.

In his interests, so His Majesty is not worried.

I once asked the Grand Tutor why all emperors loved to be close to villains and wise ministers in all dynasties? Even this emperor

Wang Xiong is talented and wise and powerful."

"What do you think of the Grand Tutor?" Huang and Tang were both interested.

Bai Fu smiled faintly and said, "The Grand Tutor only has one sentence, 'A villain is easy to use'!"

After hearing this, Huang and Tang fell into deep thought and carefully savored the profound meaning of the words of Taifu Xu.

After a moment of silence, Bai Fu asked: "Have your Majesty told the court officials why not choose Marshal Guo or Guang.

General Bi is the commander?"

Tang Kui said: "Your Majesty's reason is that Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi are both fathers of the empire, and it is not good for anyone to rule."

Huang Zhen sneered: "The reason is high-sounding. The emperor's old man had a whim and asked a eunuch who did not understand military to lead the nine major military governors who had been through many battles to mobilize the troops of the world. Wouldn't that be a joke?"

Bai Fu pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, this is not the whim of Your Majesty, but the result of careful consideration."

Tang Kui said: "Brother Fu, what do you say?"

Bai Fu sighed: "What I worry most seems to have happened. Your Majesty is learning from An Lushan's past and dare not hand over the world's troops to one person.

These more than 200,000 soldiers are the main force of the Tang army, and other troops will gather one after another in the future. Once the commander uses the tiger talisman and turns against each other, the consequences are unimaginable.

His Majesty's reassurance is more than putting this terrible force that overthrows the world to the eunuchs who live together day and night than putting it in the hands of the governor who is fighting and fighting."

Huang Zhen said: "Since that's the case, why don't you follow the example of the beginning and let the prince lead the army as the marshal. Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi are the deputy marshals on the left and right respectively? In this way, will the problem be solved?"

Bai Fu said: "I don't know what the prince Li Chu did during this period? It seems that His Majesty has become suspicious of him.

To put it another way, Li Chu, as the crown prince, was originally the legal system of the world. Once Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, the generals in charge of the army, swore allegiance, they could support the crown prince and ascend to the Golden Lunar New Year at any time.

From this point of view, Li Chu has a greater threat than Shi Siming and An Qingxu. Therefore, once His Majesty is worried about the crown prince, he will definitely not hand over the military power to Li Chu."

After saying this, Bai Fu changed the subject and said, "The battle is imminent, and the enemy's spies will definitely sneak into Chang'an. Please contact the gangs in Chang'an and pay close attention.

After discovering, don’t capture it, just keep a secret guard. If necessary, they may still be our chess piece.

In addition, we should not only pay attention to the spies brought from Yecheng and Fan Yangyi, but also pay attention to the spies in Tubo and other places. The war in the Tang Dynasty has been delayed for a long time, and the surrounding barbarians will definitely feel strange, so we must guard against it."

Tang Kui suddenly became alert and hurriedly wrote it down, thinking: "In terms of planning the overall situation, there is a big gap between himself and the real soldiers."

After the discussion, it was nearly three times, and the three of them went back to their house to rest. Bai Fu was very concerned and had just fallen asleep after a long time.

After learning that Bai Fu had returned to Chang'an, Princess Qingluan hurried to the Bashu Guild Hall early in the morning, excitedly like a little bird, telling Bai Fu the interesting stories about Chang'an recently.

Bai Fu asked, "Has the prince offended His Majesty recently?"

Princess Qingluan was stunned and said, "How do you know?"

Bai Fu said: "What's the matter?"

Princess Qingluan sighed: "It's not because of the emperor's grandfather. The emperor's grandfather has always liked my emperor's brother. A few days ago, the emperor's brother went to Xingqing Palace to pay his respects to the emperor's grandfather.

Grandpa Huang said that Lady Guo did not obey his wife's wife back then and had sex with a local gentry in Luoyang. Now that Lady Guo is dead, the land and mansions of Lady Guo in Luoyang are all taken by this gentry for himself.

Gao Lishi wanted to take care of Grandpa Huang, and it was not convenient to go to Luoyang, so he asked the emperor's brother to come forward to deal with the matter. Grandpa Huang promised that after the matter was completed, he would share half of Lady Guo's land with the emperor's brother.

It was just when the emperor used the money that he ordered Luoyang Yin to assist in investigating the matter.

Unexpectedly, this Luoyang gentry was very powerful in the local area. Not only did he refuse to hand over the land, but he also passed the censor and participated in the book of the emperor's brother.

The father summoned the emperor's brother into the palace and asked the emperor why he wanted so much money?

The emperor replied that when winter was approaching, many soldiers of the Shuofang Army, Anxi Army and other king-supporting troops were still wearing summer clothes and had no winter clothes, so they wanted to raise some silver and donate them to the Tang army soldiers to calm the morale of the army.

I don’t know what the emperor’s brother answered wrongly, but his father was furious and ordered his brother to confine himself to the East Palace and think about his mistakes in the closed door..."

It turned out that the Tang Sect pretended to be "Li Man" sold land in Luoyang in accordance with Bai Fu's order. Since the land deed was signed by Lady Guo, the news spread quickly.

Princess Yanguang, the daughter of Emperor Suzong, once married Pei Hui, the son of Lady Guoguo, and gave birth to a son Pei Ye. When she fled with Xuanzong, Pei Hui died in the Maweipo Incident.

Speaking of which, Pei Ye was the only heir to Lady Guo State. After Lady Guo State's death, the property under her name should be inherited by him.

After Princess Yanguang learned the news, she coveted the wealth and rushed to Luoyang, competing with the prince for the land of Lady Guo.

Of course, the Yin of Luoyang did not dare to offend the prince, so he became a little biased when dealing with it. Princess Yanguang was furious and sued Yu Zong.

Of course, Suzong knew that Li Man was the pseudonym of Xuanzong, and he also knew about the past of Lady Guo’s promiscuous palace.

In order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, Suzong knew that the Tang Sect's "Li Man" might be an impostor, but insisted on issuing an edict to issue a decree, and handed over half of the land to "Li Man" and the other half to Pei Ye.

...

Since Xuanzong explained it in advance, Li Chu did not inform Suzong of this matter.

After the incident was exposed, Emperor Suzong was very dissatisfied with Li Chu's series of measures to deliberately cater to the Supreme Emperor and win over Guo Ziyi and other Tang army generals.

In addition, Empress Zhang was fanning the flames and Suzong was so angry that he banned the prince, which was very much like deposing the prince.

Li Chu felt panic and trembling, and never dared to act rashly again. He lived in the East Palace every day.

On the other hand, Xuanzong was quite embarrassed when he exposed his scandals with Lady Guo in the world. However, Suzong knew his identity as "Li Man", but he ruthlessly deprived this batch of land.

Xuanzong was embarrassed and was in a fit of anger and was bedridden. After several months of treatment, he slowly recovered and was able to walk down the ground.

From then on, Xuanzong and his son no longer had the kindness and filial sons when they were restored to Chang'an. The two of them gradually became rifty and gradually became farther and farther away.

...

The whole thing was planned by Bai Fu behind the scenes and carried out step by step according to the pre-designed steps.

Seeing that his plan was successful, although Xuanzong was the Supreme Emperor, he could not escape this disaster. Bai Fu vented his anger and felt very happy.

When Xuanzong drove Bai Fu into the Heavenly Prison, did he think that this insignificant little person like an ant could also trip the "giant elephant" with his "ant legs"?!

Even so, seeing Princess Qingluan frowning for Xuanzong and Li Chu, sobbing in a low voice, her clear eyes were hazy, and Bai Fu still couldn't bear it.

Bai Fu sighed in his heart: "The poor children are the poor children. Compared with those noble royal children, his heart is still too soft and it is difficult to achieve great things.

Queen Zhang finally waited for the opportunity to make a mistake, so how could she let it go easily? She would definitely take the opportunity to provoke it.

Li Chu is very likely to lose the position of crown prince because of this. Li Chu is Princess Qingluan's brother. Once he loses his title as a crown prince, it will also affect Princess Qingluan.

Suzong was still in power. Once he died, his favor would be gone, and Princess Qingluan’s fate would be unpredictable and the good or bad luck would be uncertain."

Thinking of this, Bai Fu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, temporarily put down his grudges, and said to Princess Qingluan: "Your Highness has no worries, I have three strategies to keep the prince safe..." (To be continued)
