    The Iron-blooded Army completely wiped out the Tubo army and brought Tubo back to the rule of the Tang Dynasty. The Iron-blooded Army completely regained Longyou Road and reset the Anxi Protectorate and the Four Towns of Anxi. When the news reached the capital, it caused an uproar. King Fu Li Rupei suggested  Tubo was renamed Tibet, which means the treasure land to the west of the Tang Dynasty. From this moment on, all the names of Tubo in the capital became Tibet. The name of Tubo was quickly lost in the long river of history.  :3w. Regarding the official establishment of Longyou Road, there was no debate in the court. Even the matter of Xie Yuxin being appointed as the military envoy of Longyou and Xie Guoxi being appointed as the deputy envoy of Longyou were not discussed. However, there was no discussion about the establishment of military governors in Tibet.  Matters involving the yamen and Fuzhou and counties aroused fierce debates in the court.  Many officials believe that Tibet is remote and uninhabited. If the imperial court sets up prefectures and counties in such a place, it will be too difficult and costly to govern. It is not known who got the information and spread it to Tibet.  The total population is less than 200,000, which is less than the population under the jurisdiction of a state government in the north and south. It is a huge waste to set up prefectures and counties in such places.  In fact, the matter of setting up prefectures and counties in Tibet has little to do with the imperial court. In the final analysis, Li Rupei controls Tibet and Longyou Road, not the imperial court. However, the civil and military officials are still arguing desperately. This always seems to be the case.  It's a little weird.  Such a controversial atmosphere made Yang Fugong, Lieutenant of the Zuo Shence Army and Privy Councilor, feel chilled. Many people in the court believed that His Royal Highness Prince Fu Li Rupei would become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty sooner or later. The debate between the ministers in the court  , in fact, it is for the future emperor.  The emperor also vaguely revealed his intentions, preparing to abdicate and pass the throne to Prince Fu Li Rupei. Moreover, the emperor once said such words personally in the harem.  Yang Fugong resolutely refused such things to happen, but he felt that it was the most difficult part.  It's just that Li Rupei's strength is too strong. If Li Rupei really takes action and heads towards the capital, he won't be able to stop him at all.  Yang Fugong once set his sights on many vassal towns in the north.  Wang Mei, the governor of Jingnan, Li Keyong, the governor of Hedong, Wang Chongrong, the governor of Hezhong, and Li Keju, the governor of Youzhou, were all appointed prime ministers. It is said that they are the forces that Yang Fugong can combine, and Fengxiang  The relationship between Jiedushi Li Maozhen and Yang Fugong was unusual, and he should be able to help.  It¡¯s a pity that all these people are unreliable.  Wang Mei, Li Keyong and others.  After learning that the Iron-Blooded Army had wiped out Tubo and regained the Longyou Road, they all started to cower. As for Li Maozhen, she was full of confidence and was working hard to accumulate strength. She even reached out to the Shence Army in the capital.  Inside, ironically, other northern vassal towns saw Li Rupei's unprecedented strength.  They all paid taxes to the court very consciously, but Li Maozhen, the governor of Fengxiang, never paid taxes on the pretext of lack of money.  He also reached out to the court for money and food from time to time.  What Yang Fugong can rely on is the Shence Army.  The number of officials in the imperial court was greatly reduced. Many people resigned and went to Xiangyang. The northern vassal towns began to pay taxes in full.  This allowed Yang Fugong to control a lot more money. Yang Fugong did not spend the money carelessly.  Most of them have been invested in the Shence Army. Over the past few years, the combat effectiveness of the Shence Army has indeed increased.  The places directly controlled by the imperial court were the capital Chang'an and some surrounding prefectures and counties, as well as the eastern capital Luoyang and some nearby prefectures and counties, followed by most places in Henan Prefecture, not to mention the south, and the north.  Henan Road, Guannai Road, Hedong Road, Hebei Road and other places are all occupied by feudal towns. Speaking of the places controlled by the imperial court, they are not much better than those feudal towns. It is just that it sounds better in name.  As Li Rupei's power grew, subtle changes occurred in the understanding of various places in the Tang Dynasty. Many people privately regarded Xiangyang as a small court. In other words, this small court had the final say in matters in the Tang Dynasty, and the one in Chang'an, the capital, had the final say.  The imperial court's words had no effect, especially after Tubo was exterminated, renamed Tibet, placed under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and Longyou Road was recovered, such rumors became even more widespread.  Yang Fugong knew all the situations and was helpless, but he was unwilling to be trapped in such a situation.  The ancestral system of the Tang Dynasty is fixed. At least the left and right lieutenants of the Shence Army and the left and right privy councilors must be eunuchs. This is a fixed requirement, and eunuchs can also gain the trust of the emperor. No matter who is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, at least  To follow the ancestral system, as for the eunuchs who control the government and can decide the appointment of the emperor, it may be difficult in the future.  Yang Fugong could only think of solutions from these aspects.  He decided to contact Fu Wang Li Rupei privately to test the other party's bottom line. If the situation was not good for him,??, then he would not hesitate to support King Fu as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If the situation was not good for him, then he would think of other ways. In the end, it would be a dead end. Li Rupei must not dare to mess around.  After making such a decision, Yang Fugong thought for a long time.  He was almost certain that when Li Rupei became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he would never tolerate the existence of the northern vassal towns. Think of the Iron-blooded Army annihilating Tubo and bringing Tubo under the rule of the Tang Dynasty. Thinking of the Iron-blooded Army regaining Longyou Road, you can know that Li Rupei is  What kind of person, how can such a strong person allow the existence of a feudal town.  Moreover, there have been major changes in the official system in the south. The biggest point is that Jiedushi is not allowed to have an army and cannot interfere with the affairs of the army. The power of Jiedushi is only in terms of people's livelihood. The army is completely controlled by Daxingtai government of Southern Dao.  That is to say, Li Rupei is directly in control, which is what the northern feudal towns are most afraid of and worried about.  Of course, the situation of the vassal towns in the north is too complicated. There are many vassal towns, large and small, with different strengths. The most powerful ones are Wang Mei, Li Keyong, Li Keju and Li Maozhen. In addition, Pinglu Jiedu envoys Wang Jingwu and Taining Junjie  The military governor Qi Kerang, the military governor Wang Chongying of Shaanxi and Guo, Wang Rong the military governor of Chengde, Han Jian the military governor of Wei Bo, and Wang Chucun the military governor of Yiwu are also quite powerful. If these military governors unite,  That is a huge force that may not be able to compete with Li Rupei.  Of course, if we don¡¯t encounter a fatal threat and want the northern vassal towns to unite, we will go to the sky.  Taking advantage of the wedding of King Fu Li Rupei, Yang Fugong sent an envoy to Xiangyang to celebrate.  In order to show his sincerity, Yang Fugong asked the emperor to give Li Rupei five concubines for the first time. In other words, Fan Ruonan and Wang Miaotong, who were newly married by Li Rupei, became the prince's concubines after the emperor's special decree.  This is almost impossible in the Tang Dynasty. The prince can only have two concubines. This is the rule set by the ancestors.  Yang Fugong's move was to please Li Rupei and test the bottom line. He did not seriously think about it. Since Li Rupei dared to make such a move, he was breaking the ancestral custom. Then the ancestral system of letting eunuchs control the imperial army was more likely to be  Abolition.  When the envoy returned to the capital Chang'an from Xiangyang, Yang Fugong was impatient and quickly asked how the situation was.  The envoy hesitated and couldn't explain the reason, which made Yang Fugong's heart sink. After stern questioning, Yang Fugong found out that it turned out that the envoy had no chance to talk to the King of Fu Li Rupei alone. Besides, the envoy was responsible for a very secret.  His mission is to meet Li Rupei alone. Now His Royal Highness Prince Fu is at the peak of his power. There are countless people who want to see him every day. It is impossible for him to be the messenger.  A furious Yang Fugong asked the envoy if he had revealed his identity.  This time the messenger did not speak, but just lowered his head.  Yang Fugong was completely disappointed. He knew that his previous thoughts were too naive. Li Rupei's attitude was very clear. It was impossible to agree to Yang Fugong's request. He knew that he was Yang Fugong's envoy, but he did not arrange an opportunity to meet alone.  Time, this is tantamount to rejection.  The frustrated Yang Fugong locked himself in the mansion without seeing anyone.  Yang Fugong did not give up. If the envoy did not see Li Rupei, there would still be a chance. He must know Li Rupei's accurate attitude and need Li Rupei to say it himself. This is a matter of life and death, and there is no room for random speculation.  Soon, a eunuch entered the wing.  "Ma Fu, our family has given you an important task. Go to Xiangyang to meet His Highness Prince Fu. This is a letter from our family to His Highness Prince Fu. You must remember that you must do everything possible to meet His Highness Prince Fu. Our family believes in you.  If you have a way, you will be able to complete the task. If you can complete the task well, we will give you a big reward." Yang Fugong's face remained gloomy as he watched Ma Fu leave.  Ma Fu was already Yang Fugong's confidant, but this Ma Fu's identity was a bit special. He had been Yan Fu's secret agent in the past, reporting the intelligence in the palace to Yan Fu, so that Li Rupei of Xiangyang could grasp the situation in the palace. Later, this Ma Fu  Fu was regarded as a confidant by Yang Fugong because of his cautiousness and outstanding performance. Over time, Yang Fugong knew this huge secret. After knowing that there was a hidden thread in Xiangyang in the palace, Yang Fugong did not act rashly, but secretly adjusted many eunuchs.  , arrange your confidants to all important positions.  Although this move did not offend Li Rupei publicly, it did offend him secretly. Now Yang Fugong thought of this and arranged for Ma Fu to go to Xiangyang to meet Li Rupei. As for what Ma Fu wanted to do, he didn't need Yang Fugong to remind him, trouble.  Naturally, Yan Fu can be found to find a solution. Yan Fu, as the governor of Dongchuan,He is Li Rupei's confidant. I believe that through this relationship, Ma Fu will be able to meet Li Rupei.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
