    Chang'an is far away from Yizhou, the Jiedushi envoy of Jiannan Road, and the transmission of news has always been difficult. Therefore, when Wang Yu, the Jiedushi envoy of Jiannan Road, received the letter written to him by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Zhou Chengye had already arrived  Ten days ago, I knew the contents of the secret discussion in the imperial study room that day.  Wang Yu's reaction did not escape the predictions of the sophisticated guys in the capital. When he saw that the emperor seemed to have just mentioned a slanderous statement about Tibetan spies in the letter, he was stunned.  On the chair, I couldn't relax for a long time.  The messenger who delivered the letter made it very clear when he came that this letter was directly instructed by the emperor and was ghostwritten by Mr. Zhou, the censor Zhongcheng. As a veteran who had been in the officialdom for many years, if Wang Yu didn't understand the emperor's intention at this time, then he really  You can hold a piece of tofu and hit it to death.  Wang Yu was no longer in the mood to find out whether it was the Tubo people or the Mengshe barbarians who were messing with him. He only cared about the safety of his head and his family far away in Chang'an.  Others don¡¯t know His Majesty¡¯s methods, but Wang Yu knows the secret of Li Longji¡¯s bloody battle in the palace to kill Queen Wei and Shangguan Wan¡¯er, and also knows the ruthlessness of Li Longji¡¯s death in order to kill his own aunt, Princess Taiping.  Directly raise an army to rebel against his mother?  This is tantamount to throwing oneself into a trap, like a moth flying into the flame!  The number of troops that can be mobilized in Jiannan Road is only 50,000. Compared with the strong soldiers and horses of Longyou Jiedushi and Hexi Jiedushi, this number of troops is not enough to fill their teeth!  If Wang Yu really dared to rebel, regardless of whether Mengshe Zhao would support him or not, even the other five imperial edicts might not take him in unless he defected to the Tubo Kingdom.     The issue is.  Even if Wang Yu wants to rebel, he dares to rebel, but none of his middle- and high-level generals will seek death with him!  What's more, the current situation is not bad enough to rebel and defect to Tibet.  Since His Majesty the Emperor can remind Wang Yu in a relatively gentle and obscure way like a letter, it means that he has no intention of putting Wang Yu to death. On the contrary, this is tantamount to giving Wang Yu a chance to clean himself up.  Even if it is revealed that Wang Yu accepted bribes, and even if Wang Yu once helped Meng Shezhao to say good things, as long as Meng Shezhao did not betray the Tang Dynasty, then Wang Yu's punishment will be limited to accepting bribes.  After figuring out these joints, Wang Yu quickly submitted a letter to the court.  Claiming to be old.  It was difficult for his body to adapt to the humid and foggy weather in the Jiannan area, so he asked the emperor to allow him to resign and return to Beijing, and send another young and powerful Jiedu envoy to Yizhou to replace him.  In order to ensure his own safety, Wang Yu sent out the memorial at the same time.  He quickly appointed his close servants to rush to Chang'an with a large amount of wealth.  Prepare to give gifts to the newly appointed Zhongshu Ling Li Linfu, the Chief Superintendent Gao Lishi and the Yushi Zhongcheng Zhou Ziliang and others.  Let these ministers of the court say more good things for themselves in front of the emperor, so as not to be settled by the emperor after he returns to Beijing.  The imperial court has even decided on the plan to split up Jiannan Road and the candidates for the military governors of the two rivers. Naturally, they are waiting for Wang Yu's resignation memorial to be sent to Chang'an.  Half a month later.  After Li Longji received Wang Yu's resignation letter, he asked the Ministry of Civil Affairs to draft an official document on appointment and dismissal, removed Wang Yu from the post of Jiedushi of South Jiandao, granted Wang Yu the post of Wu Sanguan of General of the Zhenjun Army, and granted him the post of Kaiguo County.  The title of Duke and the honor of Zhuguo.  It can also be seen from this that although Li Longji was ruthless, he was still very tolerant to his ministers who knew how to advance and retreat.  Although he suspected Wang Yu of accepting bribes, in view of Wang Yu's voluntary resignation, he still left enough face for Wang Yu, not only allowing Wang Yu to die a good death, but also being awarded a title.  However, Wang Yu's ability to achieve this result has a lot to do with Datang's strategic intention to paralyze Meng Shezhao and the other ministries in southern Xinjiang.  The imperial court used gentle means to remove Wang Yu from the post of Jiannan Jiedushi. Piluoge would only feel that giving gifts to Wang Yu was a bit of a loss, but he could not ask Wang Yu to spit out the gifts he had received.  After all, Wang Yu was working hard when he received the money, but he was just disrupted by others.  As long as Piluoge thought that the Tang Dynasty was not aware of his ambition to separate from the Tang Dynasty and establish himself in the southwest after annexing the Liuzhao, then the Tang Dynasty would have enough time to split up Jiannan Road and seize this rare time to deploy troops and generals.  , sending troops who are good at fighting tough battles to southern Xinjiang.  Of course, the process of deploying troops and generals will definitely create some noise, which will also alert Mengshe Zhao and the other five imperial edicts, and may even arouse the vigilance of the Tubo Kingdom, but the newly appointed Jiannan Xichuan Jiedushi Guo Yingyi  You can completely deceive Piluo Pavilion and say that Tang Dynasty has basically agreed to send troops to help Nanzhao conquer the other five imperial edicts.  After the war started, once the military power of the Tang Dynasty overwhelmed Meng Shezhao, it would be a situation where the enemy was the main force.  At that time, Guo Yingyi would not look at Pi Luoge's face, regardless of whether he agreed or not, or whether Gao was happy or not, and would directly station his army on the captured southern barbarian tribe territory!  "If Pi Luoge insists on reasoning with Guo Yingyi,"Yingyi only needed to send Piluo Ge away on the grounds that "the barbarian troops are stationed to prevent Tubo from invading"!  The situation on Jiannan Road is temporarily calm, but there is a wave of disturbance on the Longyou side.  Everything is due to Guo Yingyi's sudden promotion.  Governor Guo seems to have been particularly prosperous in his official career since he met Tuesday in the past two years. He was first promoted from the Governor of Zhongzhou to the Governor of Shangzhou, and then in less than two years, he was promoted from the Governor of Shangzhou to the Xichuan Festival of Jiannan Road.  Above the high position of the ambassador.  Although the number of soldiers and horses under the command of Xichuan Jiedushi is actually not as many as those of Shanzhou Dudufu, they can't stand up to their high rank!  As long as Lao Guo wins a few beautiful battles in Xichuan and successfully disintegrates the various barbarian groups in southern Xinjiang according to the emperor's wishes, then within a few years he will have the opportunity to succeed Zhang Zhongliang as the military governor of Longyou, and he may even be the governor of Longyou.  Anxi Jiedushi or Hexi Jiedushi are in more important positions.  Guo Yingyi has the military merit of last year's victory over Tibet as a support. Although his promotion speed this time is a bit too fast, it is still within the acceptable psychological expectations of officials in the DPRK and China.  The key question is who will take over the very important position of Governor of Shanzhou after Lao Guo leaves?  The current governor of Shanzhou can be said to be the most popular and sought-after among the many governors of Shangzhou in the Tang Dynasty.  There is no other reason. Who allowed the total number of soldiers and horses in Shanzhou to exceed 100,000, and there are still two rising victorious generals guarding the gate?  Wang Zhongsi, the commander of the White Water Army, and Zhou Chengye, the commander of the Shenwei Army, have become rising stars and stars among the million-strong army of the Tang Dynasty. Their deeds are now being rumored to be so miraculous that they are like a martial arts star descending to earth and Zhao Zilong reincarnated!  Everyone knows that if he takes over Guo Yingyi's job, even if he lies in Huangshui City and sleeps every day, his military achievements will rise rapidly by then, and in less than three years, he will be waiting for the imperial court to award him the title of Jiedu Envoy.  new command.  The position of governor of Shanzhou was so popular that people from all walks of life were vying for it, making it difficult for even the emperor to make a decision.  Li Longji also thought about promoting Wang Zhongsi, but when he thought that the contribution he made last time on Tuesday was greater than Wang Zhongsi, and now the two beloved generals are brothers in Longyou again, and their relationship is extremely good, he felt a little embarrassed.  pain.  Even if Tuesday is too young and is not suitable for promotion yet, if Wang Zhongsi is promoted, will Tuesday be convinced?  Furthermore, now that the Shenwei Army and the White Water Army are advancing hand in hand, in time they will definitely be the two most powerful troops in the Tang Dynasty. If Wang Zhongsi is transferred away at this time, although he is promoted to a higher position, Wang Zhongsi may not be happy in his heart.  Woolen cloth.  The governor of Shanzhou has a high position, but he has no troops under his direct jurisdiction. However, the Shenwei Army and the Baishui Army have an astonishing number of 20,000. As long as they are used well, any army may not be more effective than the governor of Shanzhou.  The rest of the army in the government combined are much less.  This is just like the military commander of a province in later generations. Although he sounds awesome, he may not have a higher status than the commander of a group army.  We cannot mention Wang Zhongsi, let alone Zhou Chengye. After Guo Yingyi left, he had to send a general to Shanzhou who could convince these two generals. This worried the emperor and the Minister of Civil Affairs.  Later, Li Linfu had an idea and suggested to the emperor why not send Du Xiang, the current minister of the Ministry of War, to return to Shanzhou to serve as the governor?  Although Li Linfu¡¯s proposal is mixed with his own selfishness, it seems very suitable on the surface.  He now has a vague feeling that Du Hope is not of the same mind as him, but is closer to those old guys Zhang Jiuling and Li Yi.  Although the Minister is older than the Minister, Du Hope is the second-in-command of the Ministry of War, and is highly appreciated by the emperor. Many times, although Du Hope cannot make decisions in the Ministry of War, he will know the inside story of some of Li Linfu's behind-the-scenes operations.  ¡°Obviously, Du¡¯s wish to remain in the Ministry of War will be a huge constraint for Li Linfu.  The emperor was very satisfied with Li Linfu's proposal. He felt that Li Linfu was indeed a good prime minister who selected talents and appointed them. He knew that transferring Du Hope from the Ministry of War would increase his burden, but in order to stabilize the border of the Tang Dynasty, he still transferred Du Hope to the throne.  Such a capable subordinate recommended me.  After Du Xiang learned about this, he neither showed great yearning nor was reluctant to leave. He just calmly told the Minister of Staff that he would obey whatever arrangements the Holy Emperor and the Ministry of Staff asked him to do.  Just do whatever!  In fact, Du Hope had gained a lot of experience after staying at the center of the imperial court for more than a year. Although he felt that it was a good thing to leave Li Linfu, a somewhat elusive Shangguan, it would also be a good idea to go to Shanzhou to run a business that he had not yet competed for.  It made him very happy, but he didn't express it in words, which made people feel that he couldn't wait to leave the Ministry of War to avoid being used by people with ulterior motives to make a big fuss.    Regarding these personnel transfers at the top, Tuesday is not yet qualified to participate in them, but when he learned that Guo Yingyi was going to Xichuan and Du Xiang was going to return to Shanzhou, the expression on his face was both happy and worried at the same time.  side.  In other words, Tuesday may be smiling, but the smile is a bit bitter.  PS: Thanks to jerryw1975 book friend for the tip.
