Yang Zhao was kicked out of the Qinzhengwu Building, and his informants in the palace were also cleared out, which made him feel uneasy. His previous attack on Li Linfu was too smooth, which made him feel a little dizzy, thinking that the old Li Linfu was nothing more than that. But today, Li Linfu scolded him out of the government affairs building in public, but he did not dare to resist at all. Only then did he realize that after having been in power for twenty years, Li Linfu's majesty was still not something he could compete with head-on. This made him feel a little regretful. Maybe he was exposed too early and should have waited for another two years But he also knew that he could not wait. Fighting in the ring with Li Linfu was not his own intention. It was clearly promoted by Li Longji. If he does not stand up, Li Longji will arrange for someone else to take his place. In the officialdom, if you don¡¯t advance, you will retreat. It is absolutely impossible to maintain a long-term balanced situation. If anyone cannot see through this, they will be driven to the construction site to suffer like Ye Chang. Yang Zhao has never understood Ye Chang. He was a good official in the capital but insisted on building roads. It is said that he even dug mud and picked rocks by himself, mixing with the sweaty and smelly laborers. Back then, he walked to Pingkangfang and flirted with countless people in red sleeves, but now he is dressed in dark clothes and has a rough face, and he is getting scolded everywhere I don¡¯t know how Ye Chang could be so stupid. He actually knows a little bit, Ye Chang and he are considered friends. A good friend was engaged to Li Linfu's daughter. He was caught between the two of them and could not balance their relationship, so he had no choice but to hide in Chang'an. ¡°If this guy knew that he and Li Linfu might have to have a decisive battle, I don¡¯t know what he would think. Yang Zhao was just thinking about it when he saw a young eunuch leading an old man over. The man was walking in a hurry, as if he was on fire. Yang Zhao frowned, then widened his eyes: "Why are you back?" What appeared in his sight was Ye Chang, whom he was thinking about just now. Ye Chang was tanned, and when he heard him ask, he smiled brightly and showed Mouth full of white teeth: "Brother Yang has done such a big thing in Beijing, how can I not come back?" Yang Zhao was shocked and immediately understood that Li Linfu sent someone to recall Ye Chang seven days ago. He was completely sure of Li Longji. With his thoughts in mind, he began to launch an attack to cut off Li Linfu's gang members, and Ye Chang arrived at this time. This proves that when he launched the attack, Li Linfu sent an envoy from Chenliu (Bianzhou) in such a short period of time. ) hurried back, no wonder Fengchen Bubu "Was the journey smooth? "Yang Zhao asked with some embarrassment. He was able to get Li Longji's support mostly because Ye Chang could make money, but he relied on Li Longji's support to deal with Ye Chang's nominal father-in-law Li Linfu. "Fortunately, The roads in Guanzhong should indeed be repaired. How bad they are now. No wonder people complain that it is easy to get food to Chenliu, but difficult to get to Luoyang, and even more difficult to get to Chang'an. The clerks below were all complaining about the transportation of grain, and they complained that they were dragging their feet. On that road, ten kilograms of grain could be lost to you. No matter what, we have to start repairing it, and it must be completed within two years." Ye Chang's complaints about the road were all based on his feelings. Yang Zhao just laughed when he heard it: This guy is really addicted to road repair. Ah. ¡°If you want to be rich, build roads first, raise more children and plant trees. "Thinking of the jingle compiled by Ye Chang and now spread all over the world, Yang Zhao suddenly felt more relaxed. At this moment, a little eunuch inside hurriedly ran out: "Shilang Yang, the saint has sent you to see him." Yang Zhao's heart The relaxation suddenly disappeared, replaced by the tension of going to the execution ground, and at the same time, the fighting spirit was ignited. No matter what method Li Linfu used, he would take it and fight back. As for feeling sorry for Ye Chang After he ascends to the high position above one person and above ten thousand people, he will satisfy his wish and let him work all day to build roads. With this thought, Yang Zhao handed over to Ye Chang , and then walked towards the Qin Government Affairs Building. Ye Chang looked at his back as he walked forward quickly, his expression still bright, but his eyes suddenly became sharp. "What's going on here?" he asked a eunuch beside him. The eunuch looked around and then whispered: "Shilang Yang was talking to the saint. Li Xianggong went in and kicked him out. Now the saint summoned him in again." A simple sentence, but it is full of the meaning of the political world of the Tang Dynasty. The situation is strange. Ye Chang nodded and glanced at the eunuch. The eunuch cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Slave Li Cheng, everyone in the palace calls me big eyes." "Hmm." Ye Chang nodded, and the eunuch rushed up to reveal The news is nothing more than taking a fancy to his huge interests and just write down his name. What really surprised him was that Li Linfu summoned him back to Chang'an, clearly intending to use his power to balance Yang Zhao. However, before he arrived, Li Linfu dismissed Yang Zhao in front of the emperor without giving him any face. What is the reason behind. He didn't think about it for long before another eunuch came out and called him in. This was Li Longji asking him to intervene in the dispute between Li Linfu and Yang Zhao. Ye Chang was also mentally prepared for this. He straightened his clothes and took it easy.Walking in slowly. As soon as he approached the main building of Qin Government Affairs, Ye Chang felt an extremely tense atmosphere. He glanced at it and saw that Li Linfu had a serious face, while Yang Zhao looked furious, both of them staring straight at him. Li Longji, who was above, just looked tired. After Ye Chang stepped forward and saluted, he began to complain again: "Sage, please forgive me. I have come all the way, covered with dust. It's not because I mean to be lazy, but I am really anxious to see the saint. I heard that the saint intends to go there at the end of this year." Hot Spring Palace? In my opinion, the track from Chang'an to Hot Spring Palace should be built first, and then we can go there by train, which will save time, effort, cost, and the hardship of the road." He was the first to talk about the road construction. The thing is actually to express his position to Li Longji that he is not interested in these disputes between the DPRK and China, and do not come to him for anything. It's just that Li Longji couldn't let him go. If he let him go, wouldn't all these troubles become Li Longji's own? If you want to ask, you are doing many things. If you don't ask, you are neglecting your duty. Be careful, I will punish you." At this point, Li Longji had a faint smile on his face, but then he stopped laughing and said with a serious expression. "You came just in time today. I have something to ask you Nanzhao rebelled. Do you think he was a suppressor or a pacifier?" "What, Nanzhao rebelled?" Ye Chang was also stunned by this news. In the history of another life, Nanzhao did rebel, but he vaguely remembered that it was a few years later, but he never thought that this time, Geluofeng's throne was not stable, so he couldn't wait to rebel. "Why did Nanzhao rebel?" This question made Li Longji a little embarrassed, and Yang Zhao lowered his head and remained silent. But Li Linfu couldn't save face for Yang Zhao, so he said: "Shilang Yang recommended Xianyu Zhongtong to be the governor of Jiannan. Zhang Qiantuo, the general on the border, raped Geluofeng's wife. Geluofeng complained to Xianyu Zhongtong, and Xianyu Zhongtong rebelled against him. General Ge Luofeng scolded him, so he rebelled against Ge Luofeng. "Of course the real reason is not that simple, this is just a superficial reason. Ge Luofeng had been a hostage in Chang'an for a long time. He had a good understanding of the reality of the Tang Dynasty. He knew that the Tang Dynasty was now at war on all sides and that its national power had reached the limit of what it could support. The intervention of Dashi made the situation in the Western Regions more complicated, making it difficult for Datang to mobilize its army to attack Nanzhao. Supporting the Nanzhao throne has been Li Longji's consistent strategy. Now the pawn in this strategy has backfired. It is impossible for Li Longji to admit that it was his original strategic mistake. Naturally, he needs to find a scapegoat. Within a few years, he became the natural choice for the scapegoat. Only Xian Yu Zhongtong is not enough. Someone in the central committee must bear this responsibility. However, Xian Yu Zhongtong was recommended by Yang Zhao. This matter cannot be blamed on Li Linfu, and Li Linfu seized this opportunity first to criticize Yang Zhao. This is what makes Yang Zhao so embarrassed now. "Tell me quickly, should Nanzhao be pacified or suppressed?" Li Longji asked again. There are not many court officials who know border affairs, but not many can be trusted by Li Longji nowadays. Ye Chang may be one of the only few. He asked Ye Chang very urgently. After calming down, Ye Chang smiled bitterly: "I know almost nothing about the situation in Nanzhao. The sage asked me about this, and I really don't know how to answer." "You can just answer it directly. It doesn't matter to me." "If so. According to the wishes of my ministers, in the whole world, is it the country, the shore of the land, or the people of the country? The saint is the emperor of the country, and he should rule the world. How can there be such a Yunnan country and Nanzhao country? In this world, there should only be Yunnan Dao and Nanzhao. The imperial edict is the way to go." Speaking of this, Ye Chang said solemnly: "At this time, our Tang Dynasty's national power is prosperous. If we don't use it to help the country, is it possible to allow it to become powerful and cause trouble to future generations?" He spoke impassionedly, but Those present were not the easily excited young students, but all the old men. Li Longji said impatiently: "You only talk about suppressing or pacifying" "A saint, whether it is suppressing or pacifying, he must first denounce the evil and incompetent people in order to calm the soldiers at the border." Li Linfu still thought about it when he saw Li Longji. Wanting to defend Yang Zhao, he felt very angry and rudely interrupted: "We are all in Chang'an for the suppression strategy. We don't know the details of the surrounding area, so how can we draw conclusions easily? Ye Chang didn't want to speak out, not because he meant to be disrespectful to the saint. But he is cautious, not that frivolous and frivolous person." Yang Zhao was dejected, but did not dare to say anything. Li Linfu did not name him, but everyone knew who this frivolous and frivolous person was referring to. "Then what do you think?" Li Longji couldn't hold himself back and said angrily. "Since we don't know the reality of the situation in the capital, why don't we send an important minister who is familiar with the situation in Jiannan to replace Xianyu Zhongtong as the governor of Jiannan. Your Majesty will give him the power to suppress and pacify arbitrary things. In this way, Nanzhao will be at peace. Li Linfu glanced at Yang Zhao and said, "Xianyu Zhongtong was recommended by Yang Zhao. He is guilty, and Yang Shilang also has a job. But because he still has merit in managing finances for the imperial court, he asked the saint to use Yang Zhao as his sword." Nan Jiedushi envoy, allowed him to perform meritorious service." Everyone present.?, when I heard him say that he would send important ministers to replace Xian Yu Zhongtong, I already understood his intentions. When he named Yang Zhao's name, this was the final showdown. If Li Longji wants to keep Yang Zhao, he must let him go out and serve as a military envoy in Jiannan, and wait two or three years before returning to Chang'an. If Li Longji does not even agree to this condition, then Li Linfu will use all his abilities to punish Yang Zhao. Li Longji is the emperor. It is no problem to promote one or two high-ranking officials occasionally. It is no problem to spend all the money in the treasury. It is no problem to chop off the heads of ten or eight ministers. But politics has its own political rules, and there are rules that even the powerful emperor Li Longji cannot easily touch. What Li Linfu came up with at this time was this rule. "Every merit must be rewarded, and every demerit must be punished" If the news about Nanzhao fell into the hands of Yang Zhao first, then Yang Zhao would definitely find a way to put the blame on Li Linfu, and Li Linfu would have to be punished honestly. But the news happened to fall into the hands of Li Linfu first. Li Linfu had already laid the blame on Yang Zhao. If Li Longji ignored it, he would completely lose his position as an emperor. Therefore, although Li Longji was angry, he had to admit that it was the only suitable choice to let Yang Zhao serve as the Jiedushi of Jiannan to avoid the limelight first. "Yang Qing" "Saint, it is my duty to share the saint's worries, but now that I am by the saint's side, there are still people criticizing me and making slanderous remarks in the palace every day. If I leave Chang'an, I am afraid that my bones will be destroyed and everyone's mouth will be destroyed." Shuojin If this is the case, how can I be content with the outside world?" When Yang Zhao heard Li Longji's words, he knew something was wrong, so he cried bitterly and knelt down, begging bitterly. Li Linfu twirled his beard and sneered, turning a blind eye to the troubled look Li Longji cast. At this time, there was no room for mercy, and driving Yang Zhao out of the court was a head-on blow to him, which was enough to make Yang Zhao honest for a while. "I love you and go, I trust you, and I will never be slandered by a villain and ruin the friendship between you and me as king and minister." Li Longji had no choice but to appease Yang Zhao. Such comfort was of no use. Yang Zhao could not control the fear in his heart when he thought of going to Jiannan to face those ferocious southern barbarians. He knew that the only person who could change this situation was Li Linfu, but Li Linfu would never say a word for him. The only person he could turn to was one person. "Eleventh Lang, you are so wise and wise, come up with a way quickly." He turned to Ye Chang and said: "How to suppress Nanzhao You know the side affairs" Ye Chang was a little helpless, Yang Zhao had never commanded an army. Based on experience, Xian Yu Zhongtong is an incompetent person, how can Yang Zhao be better than him? Li Linfu wanted to send Yang Zhao to Jiannan, because he clearly did not care about the fate of the country. Li Longji also knew about Li Linfu's arrangements and the consequences of Yang Zhao going to the frontier, but he only took chances because he was unwilling to really punish Yang Zhao. Yang Zhao himself was also unwilling to blame himself and only thought about his own life. Rank, official position These people, the Gonggun princes in the center of the Tang Dynasty, have they ever kept the country of the Tang Dynasty and the 80 million people in their hearts? In the real history, the reason why the Tang Dynasty happened The Huangchao Uprising was also closely related to Nanzhao. But until this time, neither Li Longji nor Li Linfu realized that Nanzhao's betrayal was not as simple as having another enemy.
