The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 281
It is dusk in the north of Chu Palace, and the rain marks are passing in the west of Baidi City.

Returning to the river and turning over the stone wall, returning to the mountain village with clouds and trees.

Lung disease in old age can only sit back and relax, and close the door early when you are absolutely worried.

Don't leave jackals and tigers in chaos for a long time, there are indeed souls in the south that haven't been summoned.

——"Following Photos" by Du Fu

……

This person has a kind smile, like honey mixed with oil, it is Li Xiang Li Linfu.

"Aren't you sick in bed?" Yang Guozhong asked subconsciously.

Li Linfu coughed twice, and said with a smile: "The old man should be sick in bed, but this matter is too difficult, so I have to get up from the bed to help Master Yang."

Li Xiang's appearance was too sudden, Yang Guozhong was not mentally prepared, his mind was at a loss,
Xuanzong raised his head and looked at Yang Guozhong, his eyes were like lightning, and a cold light shot out.

Yang Guozhong was trembling and at a loss.

Xuanzong's voice was cold, and he said: "The ability is getting better and better, have you learned not to report what you know?"

Yang Guozhong went in without knowing, and replied tremblingly: "I don't know what your Majesty said?"

Xuanzong was furious, and shouted: "What are you talking about? You still have the face to ask me! I ask you, Nanzhao invaded the border, and Jiannan is in a hurry. How dare you lie and not report such a big matter?"

Yang Guozhong's eyes were darkened, he was dumbfounded, and said: "Your Majesty, I really don't know?"

"You don't even know about such a big thing? What use do I need you as a prime minister?" Tang Xuanzong was furious, grabbed a handful of chess pieces, and smashed his head and face at Yang Guozhong.

Yang Guozhong was so frightened that his hands and feet went limp, and he fell to the ground with a plop.From the corner of the eye, I caught a glimpse of the smile on the corner of Li Linfu's mouth, and I understood a little bit.

Yang Guozhong was about to defend himself, so he appealed for grievances.Hearing Concubine Yang cough lightly, Yang Guozhong immediately thought of his mother's reminder, understood it, kept silent, his head was pounding like garlic.

Yang Guozhong kowtowed while thinking: "This Li Linfu is old and cunning. Once he makes a move, he will have a follow-up. Whether he can survive today depends entirely on your majesty's kindness."

Thinking of this, Yang Guozhong shook his heart, his attitude of repentance became more pious, and he knocked on the floor.

"Okay, get up." Tang Xuanzong said.

Only then did Yang Guozhong get up.

Tang Xuanzong saw that Yang Guozhong was unkempt and embarrassed, with a lump the size of a pigeon egg swollen on his forehead, and blood slowly flowing from his cheek.

"It seems that he really knew he was wrong." Seeing that Yang Guozhong didn't deny or justify, Xuanzong kowtowed blindly, his anger subsided a little, and his face softened.

Gao Lishi observed Xuanzong's intention immediately, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's just a matter of scolding for this New Year's Eve. Lord Yang is going to host the dinner, and envoys from all over the world are here, so you have to show some dignity, don't you?"

The imperial concubine finally spoke, and angrily scolded: "Why do you want to be decent? He has made such a big mistake, if His Majesty doesn't dismiss him from office, it is already a great grace from God."

Speaking of this, Concubine Yang smiled at Li Linfu with a gentle voice: "Master Li, you are the prime minister, and I have to trouble you for tonight's toasting ceremony!"

Li Linfu hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted, and said with a smile: "I dare not do it, this is the job of a subordinate official. Let your mother worry about it."

Having said that, Li Linfu secretly sighed in his heart: "Oh, I thought that even if Yang Guozhong wasn't imprisoned this time, at least he would be dismissed from office.

Yang Yuhuan's three or two words, even slapping him, saved his brother's life.This woman is ice-snow and smart, no wonder His Majesty is so honored and favored.It's a pity that such a careful layout.

Fortunately, I still have a second hand, so it depends on whether Yang Zhao has such a good luck and can escape this series of tricks! "

Sure enough, Xuanzong scolded him a few times for the sake of the imperial concubine and empress, and then he didn't pursue the matter any further.

Xuanzong summoned Prime Minister Chen Xilie, Minister of War Lu Zhihuan, Minister Cui Mingfu of the Ministry of Officials, and Jiannan Jiedu envoy Xianyu Zhongtong, and said: "The Nanzhao rebellion is very powerful. Discuss who should be in command in the court and lead the troops to go out." ?”

Jiannan Jiedu envoy Xianyu Zhongtong, like Yang Guozhong, only knew about the Nanzhao rebellion at this time, so he stood with hands hanging down, not daring to say more.

Left Prime Minister Chen Xilie, who once served as Minister of War, was the first to speak, saying, "The imperial court has many generals who are accustomed to fighting. Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, and Ge Shuhan are veterans who have experienced many battles. It is not a problem to choose candidates, but if you choose Properly ending this battle as soon as possible will save the court a lot of money and food."

Li Linfu said: "Zi Ming is right. The key to quelling the Nanzhao rebellion is not just to wipe out these barbarian rebels. The key is to combine kindness and power, and promote peace through war. Just like Zhuge Wuhou who crossed Chishui in the south before the Northern Expedition , Seven captures of Menghuo. Not only to win the war, but also to win the hearts of the people. After this battle is over, it is necessary to ensure the peace and stability of the Nanzhao area for 50 years."

Xuanzong was greatly relieved, and praised: "Li Xiang is old enough to seek the country, and this statement is very much in line with my wishes. Then, do you have any consideration for the candidate?"

Lu Zhihuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, said: "Nanzhao is a barren land, densely covered with forests and full of miasma. A leader must not only understand military affairs, but also be familiar with the local mountains, rivers, terrain, customs and customs. This is the only way to be safe when marching in formation."

Cui Mingfu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, fetched the album, flipped through it quickly, and said to Xuanzong: "According to the reference range given by several adults, combined with the assessment and evaluation of the officials on the list by the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War over the years, the humble official believes that it is rarer than Lord Zhongtong. Having worked in Bashu for decades, he is familiar with the local conditions and customs of Nanzhao. Especially in recent years, he has served as Jiannan Jiedu envoy and commanded the Jiannan Army. Knowing oneself and the enemy, judging from the current situation, there is no more suitable candidate than Mr. Xianyu Zhongtong. "

Xianyu Zhongtong scolded angrily in his heart: "Bashu and Nanzhao are thousands of miles away, how come I am familiar with the local customs and customs of Nanzhao?

These people clearly discussed it early on, and today they will join forces to make a game.He even shook his head and performed a show, acting for His Majesty, it's really hateful! "

Left Chancellor Chen Xilie waved his hand and said, "No! Mobilizing the three armies is not a joke! Mr. Xianyu Zhongtong is still inexperienced, and it is okay to be a vanguard officer. If it is about being the commander-in-chief, commanding the three armies, and controlling the southwestern states, I still have Recommended by one person!"

Xuanzong said impatiently: "Ziming, don't be a fool, tell me quickly."

Chen Xilie stroked his gray beard with his hands, and said with a smile: "This talented general who conquers rebels is far away in the sky, but close in front of us!"

Everyone glanced at each other, all staring at Yang Guozhong.

Yang Guozhong was taken aback for a moment, then he came back to his senses, and said in his heart: "No, I was tricked!"

Cui Mingfu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, slapped his forehead, and said with a smile: "Master Chen is worthy of being the Prime Minister of the Left! The old man is dim-sighted and forgetful, yet he left Master Yang behind! Shame and shame.

Master Yang was a member of the Jiannan Army back then, and now he is a general and prime minister, commanding hundreds of officials.There is no more suitable candidate than Master Yang for the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty! "

Yang Guozhong was shocked, his hands shook, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground.
