After the Tang Dynasty's court moved from Chang'an to Wuyi, the first major political earthquake broke out suddenly under the circumstances that everyone had never expected, and it suddenly made the whole world dumbfounded.

Xue Ping, the Minister of Works of the Tang Dynasty, was demoted to the distant Western Regions as the Western Regions Observer.

Qin Zhao, the general of the Left Guard of the Tang Dynasty, was arrested by the inner guard, and Jin Shiyuan, the General of the Central Guard, was arrested. Unlike Qin Zhao, who was only under house arrest at Wuyi, Jin Shiyuan was directly thrown into the prison. At the moment when Zuo Xiaogu had just defeated Pinglujie Town and made great contributions, two chief officers of the army were suddenly arrested, which really shocked everyone.

You Yong, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, was appointed as the general of the Left Guard, and took office in fear in the soldiers of the Left Guard. The vacant position of the Left Guard was obtained by Wang Wenshu, who had been idle for several years due to physical reasons. The vacant Minister of War, who was vacant, was taken into account by Guo Fengxiao, the governor of Dezhou.

The troops of the Right Guard Liu Chenglin moved from Mozhou to Laiwu, which put strong pressure on the direction of Tai'an, while You Yong led the turbulent Zuo Guard to Laiyang. Everyone realized that the Zuo Guard would inevitably usher in a huge purge.

This violent personnel change, to outsiders, was also the further control and strengthening of power by the Prime Minister Li Ze of the dynasty, whether in the court or in the army. The royal family suffered an extremely heavy blow again.

By the time everything settled down and Li Ze returned to Wuyi, it was already early November.

For the Tang Dynasty, this was a huge internal shock. But for Zhu Youzhen, who was trembling in Tai'an, ready to welcome the rapid attack of the Tang army at any time, it was a great news.

At least, he didn't have to worry that the Tang army would immediately launch a fierce attack on him. For him who had just gained a foothold in Tai'an, a big pie fell from the sky.

The left guard moved his troops and the right guard took over. Moreover, the right guard was transferred from the distant Mozhou direction. According to the information, the only ones who arrived in Laiwu are Chen Changping's troops and Liu Chenglin's central army. And more troops will take unknown time to transfer all of them.

From paper, it seems that the enemy in front of Tai'an is stronger. The combat power of the Right Guard has always been stronger than that of the Left Guard. The general Liu Chenglin's reputation in the north is far greater than that of the General Qin Zhao, the Zuo Xiaogu. However, such a large-scale military mobilization involves too many aspects.

Even in Mozhou, the troops of Xue Chong, who were transferred to the right guard, were not fully in place in just one moment and three moments.

It involves the major defense change of three guards, and it is impossible to be fully equipped without half a year of effort. In other words, Zhu Youzhen won at least one year of effort to let him manage Tai'an.

On the night he learned the news, Zhu Youzhen held a big banquet. While entertaining Fan Sheng, the leader of Daliang intelligence who had just arrived from Chang'an, he also celebrated this great good news.

I don’t know what methods Jing Xiang used. In short, Zhu Sheng, the original intelligence leader, was cut off by Zhu Wen. Fan Sheng took over all the intelligence work in Daliang and became an important figure in Daliang.

Although the position level does not seem to be high, the real power in his hands is enough to make any Daliang official retreat from him.

"What is the reason?" After drinking for three rounds, Zhu Youzhen looked at Fan Sheng calmly and asked.

Fan Sheng put down his wine glass, and he arrived in Tai'an because of this.

"Your Highness, we are not sure what the reason is. We have always had a very difficult infiltration of the Tang army, because within their army, there is an organization called Yixingshe, which is extremely exclusive. We have finally developed so many of them, and it will be removed from them in no time."

Fan Sheng shook his head and said, "The information analysis obtained from the current outside world should be Li Ze's move to eliminate dissidents and further gather power."

"Why is it at this time?" Zhu Youzhen was a little confused. "The enemy and us are still in a wartime state. If Li Ze had not come here, I was afraid that Zuo Xiaowei would take the opportunity to attack my Tai'an. My arrangement in Tai'an has not been fully in place, and a large number of immigrants have not been properly placed. If we attack at this time, it will make me extremely embarrassed and I am very likely to be unable to defend Tai'an."

Fan Sheng glanced at the people during the meal, and Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "It's okay, these are people I absolutely trust. Guofeng, you are a big mouth, remember Luo, after you go out, don't reveal a word. If a word is leaked, I will hit you fifty military sticks."

Tian Guofeng, who was sitting below holding a cup and drinking wildly, heard this and burped, but the wine poured out from the corner of his mouth, making everyone laugh.

Amid the laughter, Tian Guofeng held a jar of wine, pulled a roast chicken with the other hand, and stood up.

"Your Highness, then I'd better not listen. You know that I'm a big mouth. If I say it out, I can't stand this military stick." After saying that, my butt really turned and left.

Everyone laughed again.

"What a savage!" Zhu Youzhen shook his head and sighed, looking at Tian Guofeng's back, the love in his eyes could not be concealed.

Fan Sheng was also looking at Tian Guofeng, and until this person disappeared, he said: "Is this person the leader of the Taishan bandits? He is really straightforward and cute. It is surprising that such a person can become the leader of the Taishan bandits who are terrifying the side."

"This man's martial arts is amazing. Cao Bin has competed with him and never carried a stick of incense." Zhu Youzhen said: "But a hero has three gangs, and there are two others under this man. One of them is Xu Xiang, the current governor of Tai'an Prefecture. This man is a scholar, and Tian Guofeng is most convinced of this man. However, this man does have real skills. I regard him as the governor of Tai'an. In just a few months, he has been curbing Tai'an, which was originally smoky and smoky, in order. During this period, a large number of refugees have poured in, and this man has arranged it very well. Look, there was a place for him to have a banquet today, but he said there was too much matter and he didn't have time to drink and he pushed him."

Fan Sheng smiled and said, "This is the blessing of Your Highness. There are no shortage of military generals in this world, but it is difficult to find capable people-friendly officials. I wonder who there is another person?"

"There is another person named Chen Fu, who is a little gloomy. I don't like it very much. Now he is Tian Guofeng's deputy general, but his archery technique is really amazing." Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "Okay, you will see these people in the future. Now the big mouth has left. Tell me the reason here! Otherwise, I will always feel a little nervous."

Fan Sheng nodded: "The news was found out from Lingnan. Xue Ping, Han Qi, Qin Tang and other people are all royalists. When Li Ze's power is getting stronger, they plan to find powerful foreign aid for the emperor, so they chose Xiang Xun Lingnan. They planned to marry each other and use Xiang Xun's granddaughter as the queen. When we found this news, Xiang Zhen was about to arrive in Wuyi."

"In other words, Li Ze didn't know about this before this."

"Yes, so Li Ze was extremely angry." Fan Sheng said: "Jingxiang speculates that Li Ze made a big fight this time because of this."

"Li Ze can agree!" Zhu Youzhen said disapprovingly.

Fan Sheng shook his head: "Jing Xiang and the officials discussed for a long time. They all believed that if Li Ze was silent and had no reaction, it proved that Li Ze would definitely refuse the matter. However, Li Ze reacted fiercely and started a massacre, expelled Xue Ping, and captured Qin Zhao, which proved that Li Ze would definitely agree to the marriage between Xiang Lingnan and Xiang Xun."

"He is still balancing!" Zhu Youzhen suddenly realized, "The power of external opposition has been strengthened, and he will clear out some people inside, so as not to collude with the inside and the outside, so that he will lose his rules."

"It's this reason." Fan Sheng nodded and said, "Jing Xiang asked me to come here in name to investigate the impact of this change in the Tang army's left guard on my Daliang. In fact, I want to talk about this matter to Your Highness."

Zhu Youzhen nodded slowly.

"If the Xiang clan in Lingnan becomes a descendant, its power will inevitably rise sharply. The Xiang clan was originally in the southeast and its strength was the best for everyone. With this title, it can integrate the entire southeast area and form another powerful force. Once the integration is completed, the troops will inevitably go north, which is in conflict with the plan that Your Highness has brought."

"So we must speed up our pace to compete with Xiang for the southern territory." Zhu Youzhen said a little annoyed.

"It's this reason." Fan Sheng nodded: "We have lost a point in the Great Yi compared to Xiang's family. The towns in the south are nominally dominated by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Once Xiang's family goes north, under the dual threat of Dayi and the military front, they are likely to gather under the Xiang's family, but we find it difficult to defeat the enemy without fighting. Therefore, your highness, you must speed up your pace. Jingxiong will also use this reason to speak to the emperor, so that you can send you to the south quickly."

"Where are the eldest brother and the second brother?" Zhu Youzhen said.

Fan Sheng smiled slightly: "After taking down Shannan West Road, you will encounter a hard bone, that is, Yizhou, Shu Road is difficult, it is more difficult than going up to the sky. It is easy for opponents to attack him, but it is even more difficult for him to take down Yizhou, so it is good to form a stalemate. As for Your Highness, after taking down Shannan East Road, his mind is no longer enough, and he has turned his attention to Chang'an."

Zhu Youzhen was slightly shocked.

"I gave him a wrong message." Fan Sheng drank a glass of wine without changing his face. "A tampered medical case made His Highness think that His Majesty the Emperor is sick and is not ill. Under such circumstances, where would His Highness be willing to fight in front?"
