10. Fishy Lantian Station
Gao Yue also understood in his heart at this moment: Cui Youfu is a cicada, Chang Gun is a mantis, and Guo Ziyi is an oriole.
Li Shi on the imperial throne finally aimed at the Yellow Bird with a slingshot in his hand. He was the best in this food chain.
As for myself, it was just a small projectile shot out from the slingshot.
Some of the doubts in his mind before have come to the truth:
The newly ascended emperor may have reached a tacit understanding with Guozhou Governor Lu Qi, using the Honglu Shuiguanzhuang corruption case as the entry point to completely defeat the core of the Han King's system, the ten kings envoy Huo Zhongyi, the ten kings envoy Si Wang Gongsu, the Neizhuang envoy Wang Weirong, the Han King Fu Wu Zhongru, and the Ministry of War (formerly Jingzhao Yin) Li Gan;
Guo Ziyi was afraid that his son-in-law Wu Zhongru would be involved in the Fenyang County Prince's Mansion in Renfang. He cleverly used his eyes and ears lurking in the Southern Yabei District to direct the good show of playing hard to get. The old man was very smart and probably had discovered that the emperor was dissatisfied with the Prime Minister Chang Gun. He wanted to recover Cui Youfu, so he secretly shook hands with Cui's family in Shengpingfang to make peace. He hoped that Cui's son-in-law Gao Yue would play Chang Gun as the supervisor of the censor. At the critical moment, he used "memorials to sign" and helped him, so that he could please the emperor and Cui Youfu and thus protect Wu Zhongru. After all, Wu was the son-in-law of King Fenyang.
But the scheming Guo Ziyi was suppressed by Li Shi, who had just ascended to the throne in his thirties. Not only did he seize his military power, but he also demolished the Shuofang Army Town. Just as the old man once said, "The Shuofang Army, which is so powerful that the world is about to disperse!"
For Li Tang, the lessons of the Anshi Rebellion were too terrible. They would not hope that the second An Lushan would rise in the northwest region. Shi Siming came: In the past, the Beiting camp was demolished by them, and now it is Shuofang Army.
What role do I play in this whirlpool? As Dou Shen said just now, the Censorate is an institution that combines all kinds of power, and is involuntarily involved in things and impeached people. Although they have been sent to various officials in recent years, they still have the remaining power. Therefore, major families hope to stuff their young people into it.
I, Gao Yue, may be a new star that has attracted attention from all parties, a new star rising in Taichung, the Censor.
Alas, it seems that in order to realize greater ambitions in the future, the censor's step seems to be able to step on it.
In addition, Gao Yue finally understood Li Huaiguang's secret: the emperor split the Shuofang army, and the Duyu Marquis Li Huaiguang gained the greatest benefits. It can be said that the border defense in the northwest of the capital now depends on him. Now it seems that the reason can only be - as Du Huangshang said, Li Huaiguang had long colluded with the Shuofang army supervisor Zhai Wenxiu (a dead eunuch), and Zhai Wenxiu was very likely to be Li Shi's person. Therefore, Li Huaiguang, like himself, was the periphery of the prince's party. The reason why he wanted to kill Wen Ruya and others was not to pursue the guilt of the defeat of Huang Boyuan, but to annex the troops of this group of generals, mix sand in the Shuofang army, and ensure that this famous brigade can be loyal to Li Shi in the future, and also gain more capital and make himself prosperous. Even if the prince loses his position, as long as he has troops in his hands, he will be stable to fall to any side.
"Damn x, everyone is a screenwriter!" Thinking of this, Gao Yue said harshly in his heart.
At this time, he secretly glanced at Guo Ziyi.
The veteran had no surprise expression on his face. After a moment of stunned silence, he accepted the title of "Shangfu" calmly and thanked the emperor.
"Alas, King Fenyang is still King Fenyang after all."
A few days later, several Taofen members who gathered here, including Xuanyuxia, Gao Yue, Liu Deshi, Wei Duke, Li Jie, etc., were drinking while looking down.
On the street, thousands of evil young men in the yard gathered from all directions, "This group of people hate Jingzhao Yin the most. Their backs have been beaten with sticks many times, and Li Gan has been Jingzhao Yin the most, and the law enforcement is the most stringent. I didn't expect that today is really a retribution!" The Duke of the Soldiers picked up the wine cup and explained to everyone.
Sure enough, when Li Gan, who was expelled from the list of long-term Li Gan and Huo Zhongyi were escorted by the arrested thief officials, anger and curse suddenly sounded, and the evil teenagers threw tiles and stones at these two, especially Li Gan, like raindrops, mixed with various intimidation and insults.
Li Gan's hair was disheveled and his body was covered in bruises and did not dare to say anything; while Huo Zhongyi wailed and asked all the evil boys to show their strength.
Gao Yue didn't want to continue watching, so he turned his face.
The Honglu Shui Guanzhuang case involved Wang Gongsu and Wang Weirong, and the two brothers emerged with Huo Zhongyi. Huo Zhongyi naturally led Li Gan. The charge was that Li Gan secretly visited Huo Zhongyi's house late at night, tragically told Qiaotu, cursed the prince (of course he is now the emperor), and attempted to shake the crown prince and destroy the foundation of our Tang Dynasty.
This crime is unforgivable.
Wang Gongsu and Wang Weirong were killed in the palace by sticks together. No one knows where they were buried.
However, it was not mentioned that King Han, nor did it mention King Han, Fu Wu Zhongru. It seemed that Li Shi knew the principle of "stop at the right time".
At the same time, Shao Guangchao, the imperial envoy who returned from Li Xilie, was intercepted by the people from the Censorate when he arrived in Lantian Post. Many blackmailed goods were seized on the spot. The bribes given by Li Xilie alone used 500 pieces of silk, dozens of gold and silver utensils, and 200 kilograms of high-quality yellow tea.
Shao Guangchao was immediately beaten tortured at the post station, fifty-eight times, and finally stopped screaming and completely cut off his anger. When other eunuchs traveling were told that Shao Guangchao had ended, they were so scared that they threw the bribes extorted from all over the mountains and wilderness, and never dared to bring them back.
For a time, it was rumored that the new emperor ascended the throne and was truly "a saint came out, and the mountains and rivers were in peace". My Tang Dynasty had hope of revival!
"The King of Fenyang..." Liu Deshi asked.
"As Shangfu, except for the seven-day tribute meeting in January, the rest of the days can only be spent in the royal palace, and the wind and clouds will fade away." Gao Yue sighed leisurely, and then thought to himself: "But, this is just the beginning."
In the Zichen Palace in the Ming Palace, the Censor Central Chief Dou Shen and the Chief Yuanong Bai Xiugui both entered the same party, and beside the emperor, the young eunuch Huo Jingliang was serving him. No, now this person has just been promoted to the new eunuch and has just returned from Lantian Post.
Huo Jingliang's mission to go to Lantian Post was to bring a few envoys to chase him and kill Li Gan and Huo Zhongyi in the post station.
It was Huo Zhongyi who brought him from Daozhou, and he was still his adoptive father.
This was not uncommon in the Tang Dynasty. The emperor wanted to eliminate these two people physically, but it was difficult to trample on the law directly, so he first announced a crime and flowed through Lingnan for a long time, and then sent someone to attack the post station, either with sticks or poisoned wine.
In just a few days in Lantian Post, a prime minister was exiled and three ministers were killed by sticks. It can be said that he was crying and howling with wolves and storms.
In order to draw a clear line between Huo Jingliang and the dead Huo Zhongyi, Li Shi gave the name "Zhongtang", and since then he was called Huo Zhongtang.
