17. Yang Yan for obstruction

Since both military leaders Guo Ziyi and Li Zhongchen said this, Li Shi had no objection, so he said to Cui Ning in the military officer squad: "Cui Pushe can temporarily put down his position as the Shanmao Envoy, quickly return to the capital of Shu to resist the invasion of Xifan."

"I, dare not obey orders!" Cui Ning was full of energy and immediately took over the emperor's appointment.

At this time, the emperor on the imperial throne asked all the civil and military officials who came to attend the ranks of the common people to say that the invasion of the Western Fan was fierce, and they kept sending envoys to talk about peace, whether it was a war or a harmony, how to fight, as long as there were beneficial remarks and ideas, they could be "secretized" without distinguishing the ranks of the ranks, which meant to give opinions in the form of memorials.

Gao Yue frowned. He knew that things would never be that simple, otherwise his original arrangement would be useless.

Sure enough, in Zichen's palace, Yang Yan, the assistant minister of the disciple, suddenly proposed:

"Your Majesty, don't let Cui Ning return to Xichuan!"

As soon as Yang Yan said this, Liu Yan, Cui Youfu, Qiao Lin and others remained silent.

Li Shi was a little surprised and hurriedly asked Yang Yan why he said that.

Yang Yan next talked: "The war in Xichuan can be calmed without Cui Ning."

"Why do you say this? At this time, Xifan, three roads invaded Yunnan, and the prefectures and counties they attacked were successively captured. The governor and the county magistrate abandoned the city and left. The scholars and people fled to the valleys. All the generals left in Shu could not resist. Shu was in danger. As long as Cui Ning returned to the town, the situation would turn around."

"Your Majesty! Cui Ning has been in charge of Shu for fourteen years. Has Xichuan's wealth been half a million in the treasury in the past fourteen years? Now, although Cui Ning has entered the court on the surface, all the soldiers and generals he has raised have remained in various places in Xichuan. If Cui Ning returns, even if he defeats Xifan, he can only continue to let him rule. Then what is the difference between the entire Xichuan in his hands and falling into Xifan? As the saying goes, even if he loses it, he will not be able to win. I hope Your Majesty will carefully observe it."

After hearing this, Li Shi was silent, and then he asked Yang Yan, "With Yang Menlang's opinion, how should we deal with this?"

Yang Yan's long beard shook, "Now the country is full of talents, why should the internal and external military affairs be relied on Cui Ning and Guo Ziyi? This is the root cause of the great failure of generals and commanders. Now, you can choose thousands of imperial guards in the Northern Yamen. You can recruit thousands of Shuofang and Fan Yang's soldiers from Bin Governor Changwu and Fengxiang Prefecture to form the "Shence the Sect Encouragement Camp" to serve as the commander of one or two generals under Your Majesty, and then join the troops of Shannan West Road, Xichuan and Dongchuan. You can come from Xifan and Yunnan. Just defeat one of them, and the others will retreat without fighting. In this way, not only can Shu be protected, but the fertile land of Xichuan will be restored to the country after that. Therefore, Cui Ning cannot be sent back to Xichuan."

Hearing this, Liu Yan's brows moved slightly.

However, Li Shi sincerely agreed with Yang Yan's plan. At this time, Cui Youfu made another suggestion: "Since Your Majesty is determined to build a Shen Ce to recruit camps, he can reward soldiers on the expedition and hold a banquet to entertain the generals of the Shen Ce Dumao Army and Horse Envoy Wang Jiahe and other generals."

Hearing this, Li Shi understood it.

After nightfall, Gao Yue, in the Cui Mansion in Shengpingfang, paid homage to his father-in-law Cui Ning in the east hall of the middle hall. At that time, the entire courtyard was busy preparing, because the mansion was about to return to Sichuan to guard the city soon.

But Gao Yue said to his father-in-law directly: "Father, I'm afraid the emperor will repent tomorrow and the next day."

"What!" Cui Ning was surprised and glared at the sight of the eyes wide open, with his beard and fingered. He never expected that this new emperor would go back on his word than his father.

"Father, the emperor must regain the land and wealth of Xichuan."

When Cui Ning heard his son-in-law say this, he was also a little worried. He knew that he was ineffective, so he urgently discussed with his son-in-law under the candlelight: "What do you think, Gaolang?"

"My father doesn't have to argue with the emperor repeatedly. This matter can only be discussed in the long run - he can find Xiao Yi as soon as possible, but it will cost a lot of money."

In Xiao Yi's business, most of the silk, silk, brocade and cloth came from Xichuan. He and Cui Ning had a good relationship, and Cui Ning had a good relationship, that is, he was more willing to lose money than anyone else at the critical moment. He immediately patted his hands. Gao Yue's mother-in-law Liu immediately stood up from behind the screen and took out three boxes in the large cabinet against the wall. After opening it, each filled with yellow, heavy horse hoof gold.

"Gaolang, financial resources are not a problem. After all, your father has been in Xichuan for fourteen years, so it's up to you." Cui Ning patted his chest.

Three days later, the torch was dazzling in front of the Cui Mansion in Shengpingfang, and the veil was filled with people. When Cui Ning was preparing to "return to Sichuan after his order", the envoy in the palace suddenly came, saying that the emperor temporarily changed the edict and formed a Shence-Zhuo camp to resist Xifan. It would not bother Cui Pushe to travel a long distance, and Cui Pushe could stay in Beijing to manage the emperor's mountain and mausoleum.

"It's true that it's exactly the same as what my son-in-law predicted! The person in the courtyard has to ask for inquiries. Who was the one who was striking me behind the scenes?" Cui Ning smiled on the surface, saying that he was thinking about the Holy Lord, but in fact he was very resentful in his heart.

Today, in the east-west forbidden gardens of the Daming Palace, all the soldiers of the Shence Army were out of the camp and lined up in front of Xuanwu Gate. Cai Fonu, who was the chief of the Shence Army, also held a group of soldiers and stood in the square formation. Several officials appeared on the Xuanwu Gate city wall. The middle envoy dressed in an imperial edict, saying that the Shence Army would go out to the capital to attack foreign invaders, and the emperor had money and cloth rewards.

"Long live, long live, long live!" Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Shence Army shouted loudly, bowing down one after another, praising the holy grace.

"As for the geometry of the grant, Bai Xiugui, the new Shen Ce Army envoy!" The two middle envoys stood on Xuanwu Gate and looked down from a high place.

Then Bai Xiugui walked out and began to read out loudly the gift.

When Cai Fonu heard this, his mind suddenly moved, "Why, the Shen Ce Army envoy is replaced now? But today Wang Jiahe went to the imperial banquet as the Shen Ce Dushi Military Envoy!"

At the banquet in the palace, when Cui Youfu claimed that Wang Jiahe was "he is old and your majesty can't bear to work hard anymore. The Shen Ce Army envoy was then appointed by Bai Xiugui, and Bai had already entered the camp at this time." Wang Jiahe was so shocked that he was sweating profusely. He fell into the hall and kowtowed to the emperor on the main seat, saying that he had wanted to hand over the military power of the Northern Yai imperial guards. Now the Holy Lord is really wise to make such arrangements.

Li Shi nodded with a secret smile, and said to Wang Jiahe, "Qing Dian has been in charge of the imperial guards for more than ten years and has worked hard and made great contributions. He can drink this cup of wine and then take over as the Neiyuan plantation envoy."

The inner garden planting envoy was to plant peach trees, plum trees, and cherry trees in the forbidden garden (greening ambassador). Wang Jiahe was amused and laughed and cried inside, as if he was a dream, but he could only take over the glass of "bitter wine" given by the emperor.

Afterwards, Li Shi ordered Li Sheng to go out, "Bai Xiugui and Cui Youfu also recommended you to take the envoy of the God-Step, and the Jinwu General Qu Huanke led Fan Yang and Shuofang's soldiers to join the camp together."

Li Sheng hurriedly clasped his fists, saying that he would be loyal to his duties and would never slacken!

But at the same time, Li Sheng also took the opportunity to advise the emperor: "I still lack the food and material envoys of the famous military army to coordinate the supply of the military."
