Chapter 719 The emperor sent someone to explore the bottom
"If you have nothing important to do today, just leave."
Li Longji leaned against the palace fan with his eyelids drooping. Although his skin was well-maintained, his spirit was already old.
Right Prime Minister Yang Guozhong put his hands in his sleeves and lowered his eyes to the ground, making it difficult to see what he was thinking.
Wei Jiansu turned his head and glanced at Yang Guozhong, held in his chest for half a breath, stepped forward and crossed his hands to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I have a plan to eliminate the rebellion caused by the catastrophic situation in Anlu Mountain. Anlu Mountain should be appointed as Ping An
Zhang Shi, summoned him to the court, and appointed Jia Xun as the military governor of Fanyang, Lu Zhijie as the military governor of Pinglu, and Yang Guangxiang as the military governor of Hedong. These three were in a mutually beneficial relationship, and the power of Anlu Mountain was naturally reduced.
."
Li Longji was silent for a moment, frowned and said: "If An Lushan's power is dissolved into three groups, then Li Siye will be in charge of the three towns of Longyou. Wouldn't it be a monopoly? How can he control it?"
"His Majesty also summoned him to the court, and also appointed him as Shangshu's right servant, Shejian Pingzhangshi, so that Feng Changqing could be appointed as the military governor of Anxi, Cheng Qianli could be the military governor of Beiting, and Li Guangbi could be promoted to the military governor of Hexi."
Li Longji asked sarcastically: "If the two of them enter the court and become prime ministers, how should the two prime ministers deal with themselves?"
Wei Jiansu was magnanimous and raised his head high and said loudly: "If the two of them have the talent to govern the country and are qualified to serve as prime ministers, a certain servant can step aside and make way for others."
After saying this, he turned his attention to Yang Guozhong, hoping that he could also make a statement. Unexpectedly, Yang Guozhong lowered his head and his eyes flickered. After a while, he raised half of his face to face the emperor, and his words were already broken: "An Lushan entered the court... also
That's all, if Li Siye also joins the court...the two of them have always been at odds with each other, which can easily lead to party disputes, and the border generals are all former subordinates of the two. If the military prime minister takes power in the court, it will not be easy for us to fight against each other..."
As soon as the emperor heard these words, he gave up the idea. He waved his hands to everyone indifferently and said, "Since you don't trust them two, can I send someone close to me to reward you with precious preserved fruits? Take the opportunity to observe the situation. If
Are they really in a serious situation and difficult to control? Just follow your plan to summon them to the court. If it's just groundless? You can just keep your mouth shut."
Wei Jiansu had strong objections to the emperor's words, but could not find any reason to object? He had always looked down on eunuchs? He believed that after they took power, they were more corrupt and perverted than others. But if he said it in front of the palace, it would be tantamount to offending.
Gao Lishi and Yuan Siyi stood on both sides of the imperial steps.
"Retreat!"
After coming out of the palace, Yang Guozhong was walking on the Dragon's Tail Road. Wei Jiansu caught up from behind and asked in a low voice: "Why didn't the right prime minister dare to express his position just now? Is the power of the right prime minister more important than the safety of the country?"
Yang Guozhong felt quite unhappy when he saw Wei Jiansu's attitude. He actually dared to talk to me like this. If I hadn't recommended you in front of the emperor, would you have been able to become this servant?
Knowing that he was speaking too harshly, he changed the topic: "Mu Yi, the commander of the West City Department, was dismissed from his post and imprisoned for accepting high bribes. Now Xiao Hua has been dismissed from office? He has always been honest and upright, and I would like to recommend him to be the commander of the West City Department.
."
When Yang Guozhong heard the name Xiao Hua, he became even more angry: "This person is straightforward and doesn't know how to adapt? How can he be accepted? Speaking of this Mu Yi? Is this person also involved in the Jiwen bribery case? Jiwen Ren
Wufangzhi actually bribed others with 7,000 horses? The crime cannot be pardoned, and he should be demoted to Duanzhou Gaoyao County Lieutenant first, and he will be questioned later."
The relationship between Ji Wen and An Lushan was unusually close. Yang Guozhong clung to Ji Wen at exactly this time, which could easily be considered as targeting An Lushan.
Wei Jiansu sighed unconsciously. Since ancient times, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period had great policies. The best way to fear a powerful official is to stabilize him, just like Zheng Zhuanggong, and continue to tolerate and delegate power, and then give him a thunderous blow when he gets carried away. Just like Yang Guozhong did this.
Being aggressive about trivial matters made An Lushan restrained and forbearing, putting the cart before the horse and who was the fisherman.
He almost forgot that the man in front of him had never read any books and had no other skills except calculating gambling odds.
…
It's not that Li Longji didn't take this matter to heart. It was whether he was comfortable in his little life, so he naturally had to treat it with caution. He knew that the conflicts between Yang Guozhong, An Lushan and Li Siye had been going on for a long time, so he was worried about Yang Guozhong's faction.
He left, for fear that he would take the opportunity to seek revenge.
He thought that the suitable candidates were two eunuchs, one was Yu Chaoen, the internal minister, and the other was Zhuan Lin, the assistant envoy. Yu Chaoen was responsible for going to Liangzhou, where the Hexi Jiedu envoy was based, and Qiulin was responsible for going to Fanyang Jiedu.
In Youzhou, where the envoys were traveling, they all said that His Majesty had given them preserved fruits and sent them to taste.
After Qiu Lin arrived in Youzhou, she was warmly received by An Lushan. She lived on a high-rise cloud platform and was served by several beautiful maids every day. Although she lost her roots as a man as a eunuch, she looked into her eyes and touched her.
They are all pleasing to the eye, just like buying several exquisite hand-made dolls that you can’t put down.
He did not go to inspect the military camp at all, and even turned a deaf ear to the rumors from the people of Youzhou, just because An Lushan had blocked his mouth with thirty kilograms of gold.
Yu Chaoen received similar treatment, because the last time he came here, he lived in a separate courtyard of the Jiedushi Mansion, and he still lives there this time. There is a lotus pond in the courtyard with fish swimming in it, so he simply
I just stayed in the garden and fished with a few maids.
Li Siye did not regard himself as Yu Chaoen's benefactor, and received all the treatment he deserved after taking over the preserved fruit. He also knew what Yu Chaoen did in Hexi, so in order to avoid the apparent limelight, he ordered the master of Qingliang Temple to stop casting iron.
Cannon, and also stopped buying Turkic horses on the mutual market.
Yu Chaoen was about to bid farewell and return to Chang'an soon. Li Siye held a farewell banquet for him at his residence. He invited Kang Ju's daughter to dance the Hu Xuan dance in front of the hall, and ordered the musicians to play the most authentic "Ganzhou Daqu" and "Ganzhou Daqu".
"Three Layers of Yangguan". The faint sound of silk and bamboo could be heard, Li Siye was holding a cup and wanted to get drunk, and the senior officials of the Liangzhou government in Hexi Province sat beside him and laughed happily.
Eunuch Yu gained great psychological satisfaction. In the final analysis, he was just a eunuch. There were many people in the court who looked down on eunuchs. The former leader of the Longwu Army and the general of the auxiliary state, Wang Maozhong, was killed because he looked down on Gao Lishi.
He lost his life and his family. Now that Li Siye treated him so politely, even if he acted slightly beyond the rules, it would not be a problem at all.
Li Siye sent him outside the gate of Wuwei City, specially took a small copper box from someone else, and handed it to Yu Chaoen, holding it heavily in both hands: "These things are a little gift from me, so that Father Yu can go back to take care of the household and reward the servants."
."
Yu Chaoen hurriedly resisted and said: "My dear benefactor, you must not do it. I dare not forget the great favor I received from you in the past. How can I dare to accept your money now?"
Li Siye pushed the copper box into his arms again and said: "The kindness in the past was kindness, and the rules were rules. You can never forget your kindness, but I can't help but abide by my rules. Don't hold this thing while you are holding it.
You have to belittle yourself."
Mr. Yu thanked Li Siye and led his entourage on the road. He thought that he was lucky to be sent to Li Siye. If he went to Yingzhou, he was not sure what kind of treatment he would get. It doesn't seem right. According to rumors, An Lushan is better than Li Siye.
You know how to be a good person, otherwise you wouldn’t have been favored for thirteen years.
After twenty days of marching, he and his entourage finally crossed the Wei River and approached Chang'an City. Before entering the city, he felt his eyelids twitching wildly. When he arrived in front of the Jinguangmen Gate Tower, he saw crows on the brackets under the eaves of Xieshan Mountain.
Building a nest. These two ominous omens made him wary. He took the copper box from the hand of the attendant and asked in a low voice: "Are there any mass graves near here?"
"Mass grave?" The entourage didn't understand why he asked such a question, and replied casually: "It's just past the Wei River on the hillside. If the servant wants to go, I can do the humble job for you."
"No need." He led his entourage back, came to the edge of the mass grave, dismounted, held the box under his left arm, held the sword in his right hand, and said to the people behind him: "You just wait outside."
He came to Qiulong, found an open space and started digging. After digging a long pit, he buried the box in it. He also found a wooden pile at random, split it in half with a barrier knife, and carved on it with the blade: "Excuse me.
Examine the tomb of Huang Yugong, the ancestor of the 13th generation."
After carving these words, he felt completely relieved, walked out of the mass grave, and led everyone to ride back to Chang'an City.
