Han Shizu

Chapter 241
The days of autumn rain have stopped.Hezhong is more than 800 miles away from Tokyo and Guanshan.Even though from Tongguan to Tokyo, on the main road, the imperial court had specially perfected the post system, it took a whole day for the news of Li Shouzhen's rebellion to reach Kaifeng.

In July Xinyou (fourteenth), at the beginning of Chou, Liu Chengyou was called from the plump breasts of the imperial concubine Gao.For Concubine Gao, Liu Chengyou likes her plump and strong figure the most.

In the chilly autumn night, he kept his eyes on the hazy allure of the young woman's figure. Under Gao's service, she quickly finished dressing up, and Liu Chengyou walked away quickly without missing the tenderness.

Regarding Li Shouzhen's rebellion, Liu Chengyou seemed very calm, and his heart could even be described as calm.

When you are ugly, it is basically the most embarrassing moment for people.The Hanging Arch Hall is dotted with palace lanterns, and there are many candlesticks in the middle. The cold autumn wind blows around, and it is particularly clear in the quiet environment.

Yang Bin, Guo Wei, Shang Hongqian and other ministers of civil and military affairs were basically awakened from the bed and summoned to the palace. When they heard of the rebellion in the river, they had no complaints and rushed to the summons.

"That man Li Shouzhen has finally turned his back!" Li Hongxin, the uncle of the country, even expressed his emotion sincerely, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.

In the vertical arch hall, a map of the southwestern region of the Han Dynasty, which is not very detailed, is hung in the center. Several servants in charge of the candlelight illuminate it brightly.

"It's a pity that such a loyal and upright minister would kill the traitors like this!" Liu Chengyou said with emotion.With a flash in his eyes, he asked: "For the system of moving the town, you can send the dead to go there. Why bother, who sent it?"

Fan Zhi was on duty at the center, and came first. Hearing the question at this moment, he replied with a little hesitation: "It was sent by Mr. Yang."

The civil and military ministers who held important positions and held great power came one after another. Liu Chengyou didn't say much, just let the ministers take their seats.Until Wei Renpu, who had sorted out the military documents for consultation, was in place, Liu Chengyou returned to the case, and started the military discussion without talking nonsense.

"Your Majesty, Li Shouzhen blatantly conspired to rebel. Since he dared to cause chaos, the court must no longer be silent. We must send troops to destroy them! I am willing to lead the troops to capture the thief for Your Majesty!" As the commander of the guards and the commander of the imperial army, Shang Hongqian was the first Come out and express your opinion.

"Shang Qing has such great ambitions, I am so relieved!" Liu Chengyou first praised Shang Hongqian, and then signaled to Wei Renpu: "Wei Qing, please report the situation of the rebels in the river!"

"Yes!"

With Wei Renpu's seniority, together with Fan Zhi, he could only stand on one side and go out, first bowed, and then he said steadily: "According to the Tongguan Post News, at noon the day before yesterday, Li Shouzhen killed the envoy of the imperial court in the Yamen of Jiedu Mansion. , led the Pu army to raise the rebel flag to rebel, and called himself the king of Qin, and sent out to the world, wanting to hook up with dissidents. Afterwards, he ordered his son Li Chongxun and the tooth general Wang Jixun to lead [-] rebels to the south to seize Tongguan. Yang Ye has already led the army to Linfengling and set up a stronghold in Jintou to reject them. The follow-up military situation is still waiting for the front line to report."

"Although Li Shouzhen is a local dog in the river, he still has a little vision. As long as Tongguan is taken, the connection between Guanyou and Henan can be severed. If he takes advantage of the trend to coerce dissidents, it is really possible to strengthen the rebel army!" On the side, he said lightly, and he was also explaining to the ministers, especially Yang Bin and other ministers: "It's a pity that His Majesty has insight into his heart and the key points of Tongguan. A few months ago, he sent the forbidden army to garrison!"

After saying that, Yang Bin got up, his face became more serious, bitterness and hatred, even more than that of Liu Chengyou before, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there are only more than [-] troops stationed in Tongguan, and the guard Yang Ye is too young to do anything. For the rebels, the imperial court still needs to prepare for the worst to prevent the military situation from deteriorating."

In Yang Bin's words, the meaning of belittling Yang Ye is obvious.Liu Chengyou was really curious whether he deliberately ignored Yang Ye's previous performance.With a calm expression on his face, Liu Chengyou said directly: "Yang Ye is my favorite general. I know his ability very well. If the thieves go south, they will be blocked at Tongguan. It is even a question of whether they can cross Fenglingjin!"

His words were full of trust in Yang Ye.Immediately afterwards, Liu Chengyou said: "Li Shouzhen tried his best to plan a rebellion, but I also planned it a long time ago."

This time it was Fan Zhi who stood up and announced solemnly and loudly: "Li Ni's rebellious intentions have been revealed early, and His Majesty has already prepared for the contingency. Jingzhao Baigong, Yaozhou Song Concubine, Jinzhou Wang Yan, Shanzhou Zhao Hui , have already received a secret order from His Majesty, as long as there is a rebellion in the river, we will lead the town troops to encircle and suppress them, so as to suppress the bandits!"

Hearing Fan Zhi's words, Yang Bin couldn't hold back his surprise. Of course he knew that Liu Chengyou was prepared. After all, in the past few days, Tokyo has been in full swing to select soldiers and prepare food and equipment.

Regarding this point, Yang Bin was very angry because he was excluded before.But now I know that Liu Chengyou has already arranged four routes to suppress the rebellion, and Bai Wenke and Song Yanwo are fine. After all, Yuan Cong, even Wang Yan and Zhao Hui have secret orders, and he, as the prime minister of a country , things are completely unknown.

Even Fan Zhi knows it!

Anger, shame, disappointment, unwillingness... All kinds of negative emotions rushed through Yang Bin's heart, and his fists were clenched tightly under the sleeves of his robe.Looking sideways at Liu Chengyou who was always calm, Yang Bin felt chills in his heart.

"Guanyou is barren, and the troops in the towns are insufficient. Li Shouzhen occupies the fertile land in the river, and a few officers and troops may be able to suppress his momentum. If he wants to destroy it, he will not be able to do so. Besides, if Tong and Hua prefectures are the tiger's minions, the situation will be It may be in danger. Therefore, in order to put down this rebellion, the imperial court's forbidden army is still needed to attack!" Liu Chengyou said calmly.

"How about preparing for the imperial army?"

This time, Guo Wei reported: "The Privy Council and the Department of Guards have agreed to send a total of [-] horse infantry soldiers to Beijing Xiaodi, Longqi, Xingjie, San Commander, Sanyuan, Sandutou and the left chamber of the guard. Generals, soldiers The horses have all been mobilized, the armor has been distributed, and we can leave the camp to the west at any time!"

Liu Chengyou had always believed in and was satisfied with the Privy Council's ability to handle affairs. He nodded slightly and looked at Wang Zhang.

Knowing this, Wang Zhang got up and said: "With the help of the officials, [-] shi of grain can be exported from Tokyo in the early stage for the purpose of countering the rebellion. Among them, [-] shi has been transported westward with a batch of ordnance. In addition, Xijing will also send [-] shi to the west. There are tens of thousands of stones of summer grain, which can be used by the military. The follow-up grain and equipment are still waiting to increase the people's strength and transport them!"

"Wang Qing is a true minister!" Liu Chengyou expressed his satisfaction with Wang Zhang's work.

"Your Majesty, who do you want to be the commander of the Forbidden Army when they go out to battle!" At this time, Yang Bin suddenly interjected in a cold voice.

Liu Chengyou was about to mention this matter, when he heard his words, he couldn't help but look at him.Yang Bin, do you have any other thoughts about this or something you shouldn't have?

Thoughts flashed, Liu Chengyou's eyes were bright and deep, and he said slowly: "The situation of the big man is not optimistic. Once the suppression of the rebellion is postponed, the enemies of the four realms will surely move. The suppression of Li Shouzhen requires a quick battle, so , I propose that the royal conquest be personally led by the army, and march west into the river!"

After saying this, the whole hall was silent, including Fan Zhi and Wei Renpu, they couldn't help looking at the determined young emperor.Before this, there was no rumor about the private conquest.

Regarding this discussion, the ministers had different expressions.After being silent for a while, Yang Bin was the first to be unable to sit still. No matter what, he had a fair heart and cared about the country, and he would never let the little emperor act recklessly. He stood up and said directly: "Your Majesty, no!"

Even though it was expected, Liu Chengyou still couldn't help feeling angry when he saw that Yang Bin really stood up in front of the court and objected.
