Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After learning about Li Rupei's attitude, Yang Fugong gave up all illusions and was ready to take action.  [ Yang Fugong was born in a family of eunuchs. He entered the palace at an early age and served in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He was literate in writing. His adoptive father Yang Xuanji was the Privy Envoy of the Tang Dynasty. His cousin Yang Fuguang was the lieutenant of the Youshen Ce Army and the Privy Envoy of the imperial court. This made Yang Fugong well aware of the importance of power, even if he  When Tian Lingzi was in power, Yang Fugong also wanted to stay in the capital. If it weren't for Yang Fuguang's persuasion before his death, Yang Fugong would not have left.  Yang Fugong believed that it was all his own credit for completely defeating Tian Lingzi and Ma Tengyun. If he hadn't strategized, contacted Li Maozhen, and lobbied the northern vassal town to join the imperial court, the emperor would have continued to suffer the humiliation of Tian Lingzi. Of course, why was he able to do so in such a short period of time?  Yang Fugong would not have thought so much about defeating Tian Lingzi, Ma Tengyun and others. Many things cannot be traced back to their roots, otherwise it would be difficult to say what the credit was.  Yang Fugong, like Tian Lingzi, regarded Li Rupei as the biggest threat. Relatively speaking, the powerful northern vassal towns only took into account their own interests and did not pose much threat to the capital and the court for the time being. Besides, Li Rupei's strength was also invisibly shocked.  The feudal towns in the north made them afraid to act rashly.  Yang Fugong must keep his power. This is his lifeblood and cannot be lost unless he loses his life. Power is like fine wine, which makes people addicted and cannot stop. Unfortunately, power is also poison, which makes people indulge in it and never end well.  After weighing for a long time, Yang Fugong could not think of any other way. It was unrealistic to unite the northern feudal towns to resist Li Rupei. The iron-blooded army's recapture of Longyou Road and the annihilation of Tubo had already made many northern feudal towns feel chilled and scared. They would not take the initiative to confront Li Rupei.  Relying on the Shence Army to resist Li Rupei is even more of a joke. The Shence Army is by no means a match for the Iron Blood Army.  As for asking the emperor to declare Li Rupei a rebel, this is even more unfeasible.  Li Ru was too smart, and his measures such as annihilating Huang Chao and regaining Longyou Road had gained maximum support. At this time, calling Li Rupei a rebel was a move that was asking for trouble and self-destruction. I am afraid there will be opposition from Chang'an, the capital, and Luoyang, the eastern capital.  It¡¯s just too much to bear.  No matter how you look at it, there is no force that can prevent Li Rupei from entering the capital.  When that time comes, the emperor gives way to Li Rupei, and Yang Fugong will lose everything.  It¡¯s time to take action.  Yang Fugong would not hesitate, otherwise he would not be able to defeat Tian Lingzi.  When Fengxiang Jiedushi Li Maozhen came to Beijing, Yang Fugong specially sent his confidants to greet him at the city gate. This was a secret negotiation and could not be known to the outside world. What they wanted to discuss could not be leaked in the slightest.  Li Maozhen came directly to Yang Fugong's residence. He would not enter the imperial city, and the Jiedushi envoy entered Chang'an, the capital.  It was necessary to follow the imperial edict, and he did not have an imperial edict in his hand. However, if Li Maozhen needed an imperial edict, Yang Fugong could definitely think of a way.  But that was not necessary. When he came to the capital to meet Yang Fugong, Li Maozhen also knew what was going on.  Yang Fugong was waiting for Li Maozhen in the study, and there was a thrilling cooperation between the two.  We basically understand each other, so after meeting, there are not so many polite words.  Not even beating around the bush.  After Li Maozhen sat down, Yang Fugong directly handed the letter addressed to Li Rupei to Li Maozhen.  Li Maozhen looked at it very carefully without much expression on his face. After Li Maozhen finished reading, Yang Fugong spoke.  ¡°I don¡¯t know how Mr. Li felt after seeing it.¡± Li Maozhen still had no expression on her face, but she spoke very quickly.  "His Royal Highness King Fu is very tough. It seems that General Yang needs to think of a way to deal with it. I heard that the emperor intends to abdicate. I don't know if this is true. I think General Yang must know about it." Li Maozhen  There was nothing strange about Yang Fugong's attitude. He quickly changed direction and began to touch on things that Li Maozhen really cared about.  "Li Gong is very calm. Our family knows that Li Gong is very prosperous in Fengxiang, and we sincerely admire Li Gong's ability. Our family cannot do this, but how long can this situation last?  , once King Fu decides to enter the capital, all Li Gong's efforts in Fengxiang will be in vain. Although our family will lose a lot in the capital, it is still possible to live a life without worries about food and clothing, but it is hard to say about Li Gong.  " Li Maozhen's expression changed slightly. Yang Fugong did say what he was most worried about. In fact, both of them understood that according to Li Rupei's acting style and the strength of the Iron-Blooded Army, once they enter the capital, the northern feudal towns will have trouble sleeping and eating, let alone continue.  It is difficult to develop and maintain even basic maintenance. It only took the Iron Blood Army more than half a year to regain the Longyou Road and return Tubo to the rule of the Tang Dynasty. How could such a powerful style be achieved?  Allow the northern feudal towns to exist.  ??In fact, the vassal towns in the northDuring this time, there were also many contacts, especially with 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.  They sent envoys to each other to predict the current situation, think about the next countermeasures, and had a vague intention of joining forces to fight against the Iron-Blooded Army.  Compared with these Jiedushi, Li Maozhen is a rising star, and it is difficult to integrate into the northern vassal towns for the time being. However, his strength has developed rapidly. After serving as Fengxiang Jiedushi, he relied on the foundation of the Shence Army to integrate with the local people.  Strength, constantly recruiting troops to expand the number of troops, the number of troops under his command has exceeded 20,000, and it is a force that cannot be underestimated among the northern vassal towns.  That is to say, before receiving the secret letter from Yang Fugong, the envoy of Hedong Jiedushi Li Keyong came to Fengxiang and had the first contact with Li Maozhen. Li Keyong's strength was the strongest among all the northern vassal towns.  , the Ya'er army under his command is extremely powerful, which cannot be competed by other Jiedushi armies. In addition, Li Keyong's extraordinary thoughts, especially after the success of King Qin in Beijing, were revealed. He once asked the imperial court  The request for a title of king and title has not been approved by the emperor for the time being.  This contact made Li Maozhen very unhappy, because Li Keyong was the most powerful, and the envoy he sent also showed a condescending attitude. Moreover, Li Maozhen was just a rising star. Compared with the northern vassal town, his qualifications were obviously insufficient.  , Li Keyong is willing to send an envoy to contact him, it is considered a gift.  This trampled on Li Maozhen's self-esteem. In fact, he, Li Maozhen, was not ambitious.  Under such circumstances, after receiving Yang Fugong's secret letter, Li Maozhen quickly came to the capital, and came to the capital in person. Under normal circumstances, this would be almost impossible.  Although Li Maozhen was worried and thought a lot, he was not willing to bow his head in front of Yang Fugong first.  "General Yang is joking. He is just the military envoy of Fengxiang appointed by the imperial court. Even if Prince Fu comes to the capital, he is doing things honestly in Fengxiang. Whatever happens in the capital, he will not be involved." Yang Fugong's face  The sneer on his face flashed away, and he quickly returned to smiling.  "If Mr. Li thinks so, we have nothing to say, but Mr. Li should know the situation in the south. The military envoys in the south have no right to command the army. They can only handle local government affairs. The army belongs to the southern road.  The Daxingtai Mansion is under unified control, and the Jiedushi is not allowed to interfere with the affairs of the army. If His Royal Highness King Fu comes to the capital, this will definitely be implemented. In this way, how can the Northern Jiedushi have an army? If he cannot have an army  How much power can that have? " Yang Fugong spoke slowly and in no hurry, but the truth he said was accurate, and these words were a huge shock and blow to Li Maozhen.  Li Maozhen finally couldn't bear it anymore. Yang Fugong wrote a secret letter, which must be to discuss important matters.  "If General Yang has something to say, just say it directly." This is the atmosphere that Yang Fugong needs. When it comes to playing power, Li Maozhen is not Yang Fugong's opponent. Yang Fugong has seen too many power games since he was a child in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.  No matter what he studies, Li Maozhen has always been in the army. He is very straightforward and does not have much skill or tactics. He does things straightforwardly.  "Don't worry, Mr. Li. Since our family has invited Mr. Li to come to the capital, there must be something big to discuss. Our family is sincere. Otherwise, we wouldn't have put so much effort into it. Mr. Li and our family have many ideas."  It is similar. It is a matter of time for King Fu to enter the capital. But if King Fu can easily enter the capital, it is impossible. The ancestral system of the court cannot be violated. For example, Jiedushi controls the local military and civil affairs.  Matters, even if the system has been established long ago, King Fu cannot violate it. However, now that King Fu is so powerful, Mr. Li and our family cannot compete alone. Even if they join forces, it will be very difficult, so the only way is to use the ancestors of the imperial court.  He came to compete with King Fu according to the requirements of the system. " Li Maozhen stared at Yang Fugong. He didn't know what Yang Fugong could think of. Fengxiang was very close to the capital. If Li Rupei was the first to be purged after entering the capital, he would be the first to be purged.  It is possible that if he, the Fengxiang Jiedushi, was unable to make sufficient preparations and wait for the disaster to come, then he, Li Maozhen, would never be willing to do so.  "Our family believes that everything is on the emperor's behalf. In any case, the emperor is the master of the Tang Dynasty. As long as the emperor is in power, Prince Fu, who is a descendant of the Li Tang royal family, will not dare to mess around, even if he enters the capital.  He can't get the status of orthodoxy, so controlling the emperor is the best way to deal with it. " Li Maozhen took a breath. What Yang Fugong thought of was to use the emperor to order the princes. This method was once used by Tian Lingzi., but it was covered up and not completely exposed. It seemed that Yang Fugong might just ignore it.  Soon, a smile appeared on Li Maozhen's face. Yang Fugong really did this. He, Li Maozhen, could get a lot of benefits from it, and he could occupy a high position in the shortest time, which Li Keyong and others did not dare to underestimate.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
