The full name of the interviewer is the interviewer. It was first established in the 22nd year of Kaiyuan. It is responsible for supervising local officials and correcting prison sentences. At the beginning, it did not have the power to lead troops. But as time went by, the power of the interviewer became more and more powerful.
, the competition among officials for this position has become increasingly fierce. In many military towns, Jiedu envoys often use various means to concurrently serve as interview envoys. For example, An Lushan, as early as the ninth year of Tianbao, passed
He bribed Li Linfu with a large sum of money and received an interview envoy from Hebei.
After that, other towns in Jiedu sent people to Beijing for activities. Li Linfu didn't want to favor one over the other, so he turned a blind eye and let several major towns also serve as interviewers, causing this position to exist in name only. When Yuyangji arrived,
When the drums started to sound, the imperial court suddenly realized that it was the Central Committee's loss of the right to supervise the officials in the border towns that caused An Lushan and Shi Siming to grow in power. Therefore, the imperial court issued an order to reorganize the post of interviewer from Jiedu.
Let the hands be separated and placed directly under the central government.
After going through all these twists and turns, the position of the interview envoy today is completely different from when it was first established. Not only does it have the power to supervise local officials, bypass the Jiedushi envoy, and deliver memorials directly to the central government, it can also be based on the actual local defense situation.
, recruit young people for training in case of emergencies.
In short, this position is not too high-level, but the power is very real, and it is suitable for a rising star like Wang Xun who is deeply favored by the emperor. The ministers originally thought that the reward was too heavy, but after seeing the imperial case, the picture was full of pathological changes.
With their blushing faces, they endured it and swallowed the words that came to their lips.
Yang Guozhong was secretly proud of himself and secretly winked at his own party members. Immediately, the court was full of flattery. The officials, led by Yushi Zheng Ang, all praised the emperor for his wisdom, martial prowess, and fair handling of affairs.
Li Longji was very pleased. He waved his hand and delegated power very generously, "As for the official positions of the other people, you can wait and draw up a charter. The more difficult this moment is, we must treat those who are willing to contribute to the country favorably. Mo Han
The hearts of the soldiers have been broken!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
"Your Majesty is far-sighted!"
There was another sound of praise everywhere. Especially the officials of Yang Guozhong's line, all of them held their chests high and raised their eyebrows with pride. Comparing the two, the expressions on the faces of Prince Li Heng and several officials who were usually close to him were...
It's a bit embarrassing. Yang Guozhong suddenly brought up the war situation in the Western Regions early in the morning. He must have some evil intentions. Even if everyone can't see through it for a while, they should at least operate with the attitude of "we must block anything our opponents agree with."
, so as not to make the situation more and more passive.
But His Majesty the Emperor was rarely happy for once, and they really should not and did not dare to succumb to the Holy Will. Just when their hearts were scratching their hearts with anxiety, they heard the voice of Song Yulang, a member of the Zhongshushe, saying: "Your Majesty's generous kindness, I and you
Even if my brother is shattered to pieces, it will be difficult to repay him for the chance. Now that the Yuyang bandits are rampant, I am willing to ask for my brother's tassel and be transferred to the battlefield in Henan to fight against all the rebel bandits."
"I am also willing to recommend my younger brother to go to the battlefield in Henan to kill thieves for the country!" Yu Wende followed Song Yu and expressed his loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.
"Well..." Li Longji mused with a smile, with a hint of approval in his eyes. Ever since the news that Changqing was sealed in the north of Lianzhan was sent back to Chang'an, those usually domineering generals pretended to be sick, and complained about their old age.
He was as fearful of the enemy as a tiger. Even Ge Shuhan, who had experienced hundreds of battles, looked haggard when he was ordered to organize the Tongguan defense line, as if he would die of illness at any time. This disappointed the Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty, who felt that he was not only
He had trusted the wrong person, and he no longer even had the vision to identify the wise and the foolish. Only today, facts once again proved that he was still the far-sighted and discerning Li Sanlang back then!
Seeing that Li Longji was relaxed, Yang Guozhong decided to strike while the iron was hot, "Your Majesty, I secretly believe that Henan has been in peace for a long time. It not only lacks soldiers who can resist fighting, but also lacks generals who can fight. That's why the thieves were lucky enough to get the upper hand a few days ago! If we can start from
By transferring some young generals from the Western Regions, we can not only strengthen Gao and make them the generals' generals, but also use their power of victory to boost the morale of our army."
"The right Prime Minister's words are absolutely correct! I second my opinion."
"I also think that what you said is very reasonable!"
Several officials who had always been flirting with Yang Guozhong all spoke up to help him, thinking that Yang Guozhong's analysis was appropriate.
Although officials from other factions did not like Yang Guozhong's personality and style, they also understood in their hearts that the reason why Feng Changqing and others were defeated by An Lushan on the Henan front line was that in addition to the fact that the soldiers were all temporary recruits, one of them was very important.
The reason is that Feng Changqing's right-hand man is staying in Anxi at the moment to prepare for the big cannibal, making it difficult for him to defeat the wolves. Therefore, no one can speak out to object, lower their heads, and quietly wait for His Majesty the Emperor's decision.
Seeing that the situation continued to develop, Yang Guozhong and his group were about to get what they wanted. Prince Li Heng finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He coughed lightly and walked out of the queue slowly, "My son thinks that the words of the right prime minister are totally wrong. Song Wu and Yu Wenzhi
Although the two generals are brave, they are thousands of miles away after all. Even if they are ordered to return eastward, they may be far away and cannot quench their thirst. Moreover, various places in the Western Region are in urgent need of loyal ministers and good generals. If your Majesty transfers Generals Song Wu and Yuwen,
When we come back, Wang Xun, the governor of Dawan, will be alone. If the cannibal finds an opportunity to take advantage of it, the blood of the soldiers will be in vain."
"Well..., what the emperor said makes sense! What Yang Qing and Song Qing said are also the words of the old city seeking the country." Li Longji, who has passed the age of seventy, is far less decisive than when he was young. He looked at the prince.
Li Heng looked at Yang Guozhong and others again, and for a moment, he actually came to an ambiguous conclusion.
Both sides are reasonable, which means that both sides are unreasonable. The ministers murmured in their hearts, but did not dare to express any disdain with their mouths. Li Longji himself quickly realized the problem, smiled again, and said slowly:
"Isn't there news the day before yesterday that the Dashi Kingdom is in civil strife? Since it is a civil strife, it must be temporarily unable to plot the Western Region. It is not a bad idea to leave a few established generals there and transfer a few young talents back to the Central Plains first.
!”
"Your Majesty is wise. It is with this in mind that I dare to suggest that your Majesty draw troops from the Anxi Army..." Yang Guozhong immediately bowed and praised Li Longji for his foresight.
He was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Li Longji with a smile, "Don't worry, Yang Qing is too impatient. I haven't finished speaking yet!" Over there in the Western Regions, it started to snow in August. By ninety
In March, the roads are basically impassable. It may not be easy to mobilize the elite soldiers of the Dawan Protectorate back!"
This time, no one dared to pick on him anymore, because no one knew what the old emperor was thinking. When Li Longji saw that all the officials were listening, he took a few breaths and considered it again.
Then he said: "But if we send a few more waves of people from Chang'an to Shule to deliver the order, we should still be able to deliver the military order. Please recall Li Siye, Duan Xiushi, Zhou Xiaofeng, Li Yuanqin and others quickly. I can't do this.
The rebel army is getting stronger day by day. When they all come back, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing must have no excuse to continue to stand still!"
"Your Majesty, I obey the order!" Yang Guozhong and others bowed to accept the order and walked back to their positions. It was indeed a good move to recruit the veteran generals of the Anxi Army to deal with the rebel army together with Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing and others.
But blaming Gao and Feng for standing still is a bit too harsh. Defeated from Hulao Pass all the way to Hongnong, the army was already showing signs of collapse. If Feng Changqing had not handled it properly, he had collected most of the remaining defeated soldiers in time.
Returning to the team, the rebel flag has already been planted under Tongguan.
However, no one would take the risk of being punished by the emperor to defend Feng Changqing if his own interests were not involved. Who told him to speak so eloquently in order to comfort His Majesty the Emperor? Why would he say so within a few months?
The heads of Mount Anlu were offered at the foot of the palace. Why is Hulao a golden pond? The rebels will surely return in defeat. I don’t even think about it, how many percent of the garrisons in various parts of the Central Plains are full? How many days have they been trained throughout the year?! What’s the result?
Wasn't his reputation all destroyed on the battlefield in Henan?! Even the official title he had exchanged with his head had become a temporary title and could be deprived of him at any time due to poor performance.
"Before they met their opponents, they all claimed to be brave and good at fighting!" Li Longji still felt angry, and his expression quickly turned from excitement to anger, "They usually falsely report their military exploits and embezzle military pay, so forget it. I know they live a miserable life.
, Don’t care about them. When it’s time to serve for me, they are all afraid of the enemy. They are not as courageous as a few young people who are just starting out. When Wang Mingyun asked for orders to go on patrol, he only had more than 600 people who were put together temporarily.
Are there soldiers and horses? How can you sweep the entire Yaochashui for me? If you have to have strong soldiers and strong horses, and have no worries about weapons and food before you can fight, I can just go by myself. What's the use of you?"
The more he talked, the more disappointed and angry he became, and the more he felt that Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing and others were acting suspiciously. Prince Li Heng never had the courage to speak out and remonstrate with his father, and Yang Guozhong was not a responsible prime minister. As for Gao Lishi, because
Because Bian Lingcheng was expelled from the Anxi Army, his relationship with Feng Changqing was not as good as before, and he was too lazy to stand up for him. For a time, the images of Gao and Feng fell rapidly, from famous generals in hundreds of battles to direct
A coward and a loser who has neither ability nor courage.
"I have given an order to Gao Xianzhi to grant Changqing the title of Changqing. He must make an effective counterattack against the rebels within ten days. Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering the old relationship!" When everyone remained silent, Li Longji, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty,
Finally going to the extreme, "I ordered Ge Shuhan to prepare for war. If anyone is found who dares to communicate with An Lushan, he is allowed to take the initiative. No matter who it is, he will be killed with lightning speed."
Let’s talk! I give him the right to kill first and then report later!”
