Chapter 483
(Thanks to me for my support of the evaluation ticket for the shortage of books! Please give me a monthly ticket!)
Today, in Yanying Hall, there are many heroes gathering together.
When Li Jing entered the hall, the emperor had not arrived yet, and the generals and generals in the hall stood together to greet each other.
Zheng Congxi, the governor of Hedong, Li Zhuo, the governor of Heyang, Du Shencun, the governor of Zhaoyi, Yu Guan, the governor of Zhenwu, Helianduo, the governor of Tiande Army, Tuoba Sigong, the governor of Xiasui, Li Zong, the governor of Yicheng, Cui Anqian, the governor of Zhongwu, and others formed a small circle from the seven generals who had just passed by the triumphant north of Daibei, and talked to each other.
Li Jing talked to Xin Xi, deputy ambassador and governor of Datong Army, outside, under the medicine tree outside, when he came in, the Hu Shuai, Helianduo and Tuoba Sigong, were following Zheng Congyi and Yu Feng. Since the defeat of the Shatuo people, the status of these Hu clans who were attached has also declined a lot. Although they have become the commanders of the town, their status in Yanying Hall is a bit awkward, and even the eunuchs in the hall ignore them very much.
As soon as they saw Li Jing coming in, the two of them immediately stepped forward and greeted him intimately. Helianduo first saw Li Jing coming in, "Li Zhenguo is here!" His eyes lit up and he walked over. After entering Beijing, Helianduo tidied up all over his body. Not only did he tie up the messy hair, but his yellow beard on his face was also trimmed to look decent, reminding Li Jing of his BMW that had just been cut with his horse's hair.
Tuoba Sigong also greeted him with a smile on his face: "I went to the Duke of Qi's mansion several times these days, but the door said that the general was recuperating behind closed doors. It was great to see the general today. I haven't seen each other for many days. I miss it."
Li Jing nodded, first greeted Zheng Congxian, Cui Anqian and others. Then he bowed to Yu Qin: "Teacher!"
Yu Yan didn't come over, but just nodded to Li Jing. He looked at Li Jing meaningfully. He had no time to say anything when he had a brief meeting outside just now, but he was very satisfied with Li Jing's behavior of staying in the door and not being guests these days. He did not get lost because of his temporary high position. What he was most satisfied with Li Jing was that his mind was firm. In his opinion, this was more important than Li Jing's good at making money and even being able to command troops.
Du Shencun came over with a smile. He grabbed Li Jing's hand very familiarly, "Come on, I introduce some friends to Duke Qi. Everyone admires the young Sanzhen Jieshang."
They came to a circle on the other side and could see that Du Shenquan was still very prestigious here. Seeing him coming, everyone came to see the old prime minister one after another.
"Everyone. This is the famous Zhenguo Army, Lu Long Army, and Datong Army, the three Zhenjie Commander Li Jing and Li Jiyu."
Everyone came up to greet him. These people were all Li Jing's long-known seniors, and they all served as the position of Jieshen. The first one was the first. Before Du Shencun introduced him, Xin Xi, beside Li Jing, immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, this is Du Qing, the righteous brother of Yicheng Army. The former governor of Yicheng Army, the current defense envoy of the Eastern Capital, the prefect of Henan, the left-behind Dongdu, the Tong Zhang official, the Duke of Runan County."
Xin Xi went to Sizhou regardless of peace, for the sake of this righteous brother, Xin Xi and Du Qing. Now it has long been well known to the people of the Tang Dynasty. Especially at that time, Xin Xi initially persuaded Du Qing to evacuate Sizhou. The words Du Qing said made countless people feel loyal and righteous. At that time, Du Qing said, "How can you enjoy the position of the court in peace, but abandon the city and escape in danger? I don't be such a person! Besides, every citizen has his own home, who doesn't care about it? I survive alone, and how can I convince the public in the future? I am determined to lead the soldiers to survive and die with Sizhou City!"
After hundreds of hard and bloody battles in Sizhou and the final victory, a saying has been circulating around the world: Xin Xi, the heroes in the world, were loyal to Du Qing. Since the Battle of Sizhou, Du Qing has prosecuted the Secretary of the Ministry of Works, the Governor of Huazhou, Zheng Hua Observation and other envoys, and the Jiedu of Yicheng Army.
Du Qing and Du Shenquan were both the Du family of Jingzhao, but they were not the same clan. Although the two families had the same ancestor, they were two different branches. Du Qing's family background was higher than Du Shencun. His grandfather was the famous prime minister Du You, who had gone through the five dynasties of Su, Dai, De, Shun, Xian, and Five Dynasties. Du Qing's cousin Du Qing was the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall of the Emperor Yizong Dynasty, and a cousin Du Mu was a famous poet in the late Tang Dynasty.
The two of them admired each other after seeing each other.
Then Du Cheng and Du Shenquan introduced several people to Li Jing, namely the largest and richest vassal states in the Tang Dynasty, the governor of Huainan, the governor of Pingzhang, and the governor of Xuanwu, Mu Renyu.
Later, Li Jing also met Chen Jingxuan, who lost the last polo match but got the position of Deputy Ambassador of Lu Longjun.
After chatting with everyone, the eunuchs in Li Jing's palace were ranked and they just sat down. A strange eunuch in a purple robe came over, but when he saw someone behind him, Li Jing's face immediately darkened.
The eunuch said to Li Jing with a smile: "Yang Fuguang, the commander of the Shatuo Army, met Li Zhenguo!"
Li Jing had guessed the identity of this person just now. Although he was dissatisfied with him and Li Guochang, he did not hit the smiley person. Moreover, Yang Fuguang was also a loyal official who was extremely loyal to the Tang Dynasty in history. When the Tang Dynasty was about to collapse, he ran around and was considered a loyal and righteous person.
"Have the Shatuo Army not gone to Xichuan yet?" Li Jing said lightly.
Li Guochang's face was a little pale, and the painful experience this time was not so easy to pass. He took two steps forward and lowered his head to Li Jing and said, "Li Guochang had met Duke Qi. He was confused for a moment and offended him for many times. Please forgive me."
"It's all for the court, and it's not a question of whether to forgive or not." Li Jing said calmly.
Li Guochang looked at the guy who was so close to him, and wanted to pounce on him and tear him apart. If Li Jing hadn't sent troops to the North, the result of the matter would definitely not be the situation in front of him, but he knew that he could not offend Li Jing. "Duke of Qi, I have a ruthless request, and I hope Li Zhenguo can agree."
Li Jing snorted in his nostrils, which was considered an answer.
"Guochang was merciful to His Majesty, and he allowed me to make meritorious service and sent troops to Xichuan. The dog son is still wandering in the north of the desert. I hope the general can make a fuss. Let the dog son return to the Central Plains and make meritorious service for the court together."
Li Jing smiled. "If you look for me for this matter, you will find the wrong person." After saying that, he ignored Li Guochang and Yang Fuguang. Li Jing had no good attitude towards Li Keyong. The hatred between them was greater than that of Tian Lingzi. Li Jing now sent an elite killer team to Daibei to find Li Keyong, hoping to get rid of the roots, so he would not easily let him come back. Even if he couldn't kill him, he would have to suffer more in Mobei.
"The emperor is here!" a eunuch shouted loudly in front of the hall.
The generals and generals in the hall immediately took their place. Although Yanying Hall is not as good as the Xuanzheng Hall, there are no officials in the rituals, today the hall is mostly local vassal states, so the atmosphere is still relatively grand.
The first ones to enter were the ministers of the Zhengshi Hall and the left and right lieutenants of the Shence Army, the left and right privy envoys of the Privy Council, and the envoys of the North and South Xuanhui Yuan, who were also eunuchs. These people almost controlled the entire government affairs, and it was only then that it was obvious that they had already discussed together and achieved what the result was.
After these people arrived, it took a moment before the emperor entered Yanying Hall under the guards on both sides.
"The old rules in Yanying Hall are not polite. Everyone just sit down to discuss matters and speak freely." As soon as the emperor came in, he waved his hand to stop the ministers from ceremonies.
Out of Li Jing's surprise, the first person to speak out was not Lu Zhi, the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall, but Zheng Ting. He spoke loudly, "Recently, private salt vendors in the Tianping Army gathered to plunder prefectures and counties and flew everywhere. They also had joined forces with the rebel general Wang Jingwu of Ziqingzhou, and successively defeated the Tianping Army Jiedushi Xue Chong and the Taining Army Jiedushi Li Shi. Now they have even fled into Songzhou and felt the canal trough. This incident is shocking. Xue Chong, Li Shi, and Song Wei are both guilty of dereliction of duty. I suggest that the three of them be removed from their posts."
Many generals in the hall were very surprised to hear this news for the first time. However, many people already knew about it and had no expression on their faces.
After Zheng Ting proposed, Lu Xie immediately left the list, "Your Majesty, Xue, Li and Song, although they have neglected their duties, this is not the time to hold them accountable. The most urgent task is to quell the thief first. Otherwise, the grain transportation will not be completed and Chang'an will be in turmoil."
Li Jing sat down and listened to the words of the two prime ministers. Although he was not ashamed of Lu Xie and Tian Lingzi's relationship, as far as matters are concerned, Zheng Ting's opinions were not a good way for the Chinese people. At this time, the withdrawal of the commander at the last minute undoubtedly made the entire Balance, Taining and Ziqing towns even more chaotic. Lu Xie's proposal hit the nail on the head.
"The government affairs hall just received an urgent report from Song Wei, Ziqing Town, 800 miles away. Song Wei knew that he had failed to do his duties. Now he heard that the thieves' army threatened the grain transportation and had proposed to the court, asking the court to lead the troops to attack, and asked the court to allocate another 5,000 infantry and cavalry, and set up a special envoy to govern the suppression matters. I believe that Song Wei has both qualifications and prestige. Six years ago, he followed Kang Chengxun to eliminate Pang Xun's rebellion, and defeated the Nanzhao army in southern border a few years ago, which was enough to take on this important task. I propose to appoint Song Wei, the governor of Pinglu of Ziqing, as the envoy of the various camps to recruit thieves!"
Lu Xie introduced Song Wei as a recruitment envoy, which was discussed by Tian Lingzi for a long time. Yesterday, after Li Jing proposed to lead troops to fight against the thieves, Tian Lingzi was already looking for a suitable general to replace Li Jing to prevent Li Jing from making great contributions. After thinking about it, he did not come up with a result. At this moment, Song Wei's memorial arrived. Song Wei was a capable general, and the key thing was that Song Wei was a member of Lu Xie's disciple. For Tian Lingzi, they were all their own people. Moreover, Song Wei was also Li Jing's adoptive father, and could curb Li Jing. Because Li Jing and Song Wei did not have a good relationship at the beginning, and Dengzhou was divided, so there was no need to worry about uniting between them.
In the end, Tian Lingzi finally chose Song Wei as the recruitment envoy.
"In order to quickly eliminate the thief and Wang Jingwu's rebels, I requested to deport 3,000 infantry and 500 cavalry to Song Wei to strengthen his military strength. In addition, I requested to ask Du Shencun to lead Zhao Yi army, Li Zhuo led Heyang army, Du Qing led the Eastern Du army, Li Zong led Yicheng army, Cui Anqian led the Zhongwu army, Mu Renyu led the Xuanwu army, Liu Ye led the Huainan army, Li Jing led the Zhenguo army, Xue Neng led the Invasion army to encircle and suppress the army. Xue Chong led the Tianping army, and Li led the Taining army to make meritorious contributions on behalf of the crime. The twelve towns and horses jointly surrounded and suppressed the bandit army, and all the troops were led by Song Wei."
Hearing this plan of encirclement and suppression, Li Jing couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning. He mobilized twelve troops at one time. It can be said that the troops east of Luoyang, north of the Huaihe River, and south of the Yellow River were all mobilized, and even Hedong had two towns of troops to participate in the war. They were completely surrounded by all sides, but Li Jing couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Soldiers are more important than elites, and it seems that the scene is huge, but the more they are, I'm afraid the final result will be more disappointing.
Tian Lingzi also made a report at this time: "I would like to submit the right Privy Councilor Ximen Sigong to be the military commander of the Taoist camp, and the right Shence Army Lieutenant Yang Fugong to be the military commander of the Taoist camp!"
Hearing this request, Ximen Sigong and Yang Fugong, who were originally standing under the jade steps, changed their color at the same time, opened their eyes suddenly, and glared at Tian Lingzi. This request was too unexpected to them. In the previous discussion, there was no discussion on these two items. In the end, Tian Lingzi mobilized the generals of the capital and even cleaned them up, and they had already made a step back. But they never expected that Tian Lingzi would take this opportunity to drive them out of the capital. I am afraid that when they left the capital this time and came back, the entire Chang'an would be completely controlled by Tian Lingzi.
