The autumn rain for days has stopped. Hezhong is more than 800 miles away from Tokyo and Guanshan. Even though the imperial court has specially perfected the post system on the main road from Tongguan to Tokyo, the news of Li Shouzhen's rebellion also took a whole day. On the same day, it was only passed to Kaifeng.
On the fourteenth day of the seventh lunar month, the first day of Chou, Liu Chengyou was named because of the plump breasts of the imperial concubine Gao. Liu Chengyou liked the plump and strong figure of the imperial concubine Gao the most.
It was a cold autumn night, and he could not squint at the hazy temptation of the young woman's figure. Under Gao's service, he quickly finished dressing. Liu Chengyou left quickly without any nostalgia for the gentle countryside.
Regarding Li Shouzhen's opposition, Liu Chengyou seemed very calm, and his heart could even be described as untroubled.
The ugly time is basically the most difficult time for people. The Chuigong Hall is decorated with palace lanterns, and there are many candlesticks in it. The cold autumn wind blows around, making it especially clear in the quiet environment.
Yang Bin, Guo Wei, Shang Hongqian and other civil and military ministers were basically awakened from their beds and summoned to the palace. When they heard about the rebellion in the river, they all had no complaints and hurriedly responded to the call.
"That fellow Li Shouzhen finally rebelled!" Li Hongxin, the uncle of the state, even sighed sincerely, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.
In the Chui Gong Hall, a vaguely detailed map of the southwestern Han Dynasty was hung in the center. Several servants held candles to illuminate it brightly. Liu Chengyou, with his hands behind his back, stared at a corner of the river in trance.
"It's a pity that such a loyal and upright minister would kill a traitor like this!" Liu Chengyou sighed with emotion. With a flash of his eyes, he asked: "In the system of moving towns, you can just send dead soldiers there. Why do you need to do this? Who will do it?" Sent?”
Fan Zhi was on duty at the center and was the first to arrive. Upon hearing the question, he replied hesitantly: "It was sent by Mr. Yang..."
The powerful civil and military ministers who held important positions in the Han Dynasty arrived one after another. Liu Chengyou didn't say much and just asked the ministers to take their seats. Until Wei Renpu, who had compiled the military information documents for consultation, arrived, Liu Chengyou returned to the case without any nonsense and started the military directly. Discuss.
"Your Majesty, Li Shouzhen is brazenly plotting rebellion. Since he dares to cause rebellion, the court can no longer remain silent. He must send troops to extinguish him! I am willing to lead the troops and capture the thieves for Your Majesty!" As the commander of the guards and the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, Shang Hongqian was the first to do so. Get out, take a stand.
"I am very pleased that Shang Qing has such great ambitions!" Liu Chengyou praised Shang Hongqian first, and then signaled to Wei Renpu: "Wei Qing, please report the situation of the rebels in the river!"
"yes!"
With Wei Renpu's qualifications, together with Fan Zhi, he could only stand on one side and step out of the queue. He bowed his head first and then said steadily: "According to the Tongguan Post Office, at noon the day before yesterday, Li Shouzhen killed the imperial envoy at the Jiedufu Yamen. , led the Pu army to raise the rebel flag and start a rebellion. He called himself the King of Qin and sent out a message to the world, hoping to seduce those who had different intentions. Later, he ordered his son Li Chongxun and Yajiang Wang Jixun to lead a rebel army of 10,000 people to go south to capture Tongguan. After hearing of the rebellion, the Tong'an army envoy Yang Ye has led his army to Fengling Jintou and set up a stronghold to reject it. What will happen to the military situation in the future remains to be reported from the front line..."
"Although Li Shouzhen is a local dog in the river, he still has a little vision. As long as he captures Tongguan, he can cut off the connection between Guanyou and Henan. If he takes advantage of the situation and coerces those who are dissatisfied, it is really possible to strengthen the rebel army!" Guo Wei said in Next to him, he said calmly, also explaining to the ministers, especially Yang Bin and other prime ministers: "It's a pity that your Majesty has a keen eye and has penetrated his heart long ago. He knew the importance of Tongguan and sent the imperial army to garrison it a few months ago!"
After saying this, Yang Bin stood up, his face became more serious, and he was bitter and resentful, even more so than Liu Chengyou before. He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there are only more than 3,000 troops stationed in Tongguan, and the guard Yang Ye is too young to be able to resist. The rebels and the imperial court still need to prepare for the worst to prevent the military situation from deteriorating."
The meaning of Yang Ye's words to disparage Yang Ye was obvious. Liu Chengyou was really curious whether he deliberately ignored Yang Ye's previous performance. With a calm expression on his face, Liu Chengyou said directly: "Yang Ye is my favorite general. I know his ability very well. If the thieves go south, they will be blocked at Tongguan. Even whether they can cross Fenglingjin is a question!"
His words were full of trust in Yang Ye. Immediately afterwards, Liu Chengyou said: "Li Shouzhen worked hard to plot rebellion, but I have also plotted it long ago."
This time it was Fan Zhi who stood up and announced solemnly: "Li Ni's intention to rebel has been revealed early. As a preparation for the imperial throne, His Majesty has already made contingency preparations. Baigong of Jingzhao, Song Consort of Yaozhou, Wang Yan of Jinzhou, and Zhao Hui of Shaanzhou , we have received a secret order from His Majesty. As long as there is rebellion in the river, we will immediately lead the troops to encircle and suppress the rebels in order to suppress the rebels!"
Hearing Fan Zhi's words, Yang Fan couldn't help but be surprised. Of course he knew that Liu Chengyou was prepared. After all, in the past few days, Tokyo had been busy selecting troops, selecting generals, and preparing food and equipment. The news was not small at all.
Regarding this point, Yang Yan was very angry, because he had been excluded before. But now he learned that Liu Chengyou had already arranged four routes to suppress the rebel army, and Bai Wenke and Song Yanwo were left alone. After all, Yuan Cong , even Wang Yan and Zhao Hui had secret orders, but as the prime minister of a country, he was completely unaware of the matter.
Even Fan Zhi is clear!
Anger, shame, disappointment, unwillingness...all kinds of negative emotions surged through Yang Bin's heart. Under the sleeves of his robe, his fists were clenched tightly. Looking sideways at Liu Chengyou, who was always calm, Yang Bin felt chilled. .
"Guanyou is barren and the towns have insufficient troops. Li Shouzhen holds the sacred land in the river. A few officers and soldiers may be able to suppress his power, but if he wants to destroy it, he is not in danger. What's more, if the situation is the same, the two states of Hua are acting as the accomplices of the tiger. The situation is We may be in danger. Therefore, if we want to quell this rebellion, we still need the imperial imperial army to attack!" Liu Chengyou said calmly.
"How are you preparing for the expedition against the Forbidden Army?"
This time, it was Guo Wei who reported: "The Privy Council has reached an agreement with the Guards Department to send out commanders and soldiers to Xiaodi, Longqi, and Xingjie in the capital, to disperse the capital and protect the left wing of the Holy Palace, with a total of 50,000 horse and infantry soldiers. Generals and soldiers The horses and guards have all been mobilized, the armor has been distributed, and we can break camp and head west at any time!"
Liu Chengyou had always believed in and was satisfied with the Privy Council's ability to handle affairs. He nodded slightly and looked at Wang Zhang.
Understanding, Wang Zhang stood up and reported: "With the help of ministers, Tokyo can provide 50,000 shi of food in the early stage to prepare for the rebellion, of which 20,000 shi has been transported westward with a batch of ordnance. In addition, Xijing has also Tens of thousands of stones of summer grain have been collected for military use. Follow-up grain and equipment still need to be mobilized to increase the number of civilians and transport them!"
"Wang Qing is such a good minister!" Liu Chengyou expressed that he was very satisfied with Wang Zhang's work.
"Your Majesty, when the Forbidden Army goes out for an expedition, who do you want to be the commander?" At this time, Yang Bin suddenly interjected with a cold voice.
Liu Chengyou was about to mention this matter when he suddenly heard what he said and couldn't help but look at him. Yang Bin, might he have any other thoughts about this?
Thoughts flashed across his mind, Liu Chengyou's eyes were bright and deep, and he said slowly: "The situation of the Han Dynasty is not optimistic. Once the suppression of the rebellion is delayed, the enemies from all over the world will take action. To eliminate Li Shouzhen, we need to fight quickly, so , I propose that the emperor personally lead the army and march westward into the river!"
After saying this, the entire palace fell into silence, including Fan Zhi and Wei Renpu, who couldn't help but look at the young emperor with a determined look on his face. Before this, there was no news about the proposal of personal conquest.
Regarding this discussion, the officials had different expressions. After a moment of silence, Yang Bin was the first to be unable to sit still. No matter what, he had a public heart for the country and would never let the little emperor do whatever he wanted. He stood up and said directly: "Your Majesty, not allowed!"
Even though he had expected it, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but feel angry when he saw Yang Xing really stand up in front of the court and raise objections.
