Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 13

While the players were still developing in Guazhou, at this time Lingwu, which is also the companion capital where the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty now resides, an old general in armor walked into a mansion.

The old general was furious, it was Guo Ziyi, Shuofang Jiedu envoy Guo Ziyi, who was hastily recalled by the current emperor Li Heng.

And this big house was originally the house of a rich family in Shuofang. After Li Heng and his party arrived in Shuofang, this rich family donated the house.

This house was bestowed by the emperor on Li Mi, the most trusted military counselor.

Today, Li Mi's official secretary Jianling and military adviser, although Guo Ziyi has the title of prime minister under the same Zhongshumen, all officials in Lingwu know that Li Mi, the secretary supervisor, is in the eyes of the emperor today. status.

Legend has it that this Li Mi was invited from the mountains immediately after arriving in Lingwu today. The officials and people in Lingwu now call this Li Mi the prime minister in white.

Although Li Mi was not the prime minister, he had considerable influence on the emperor.

Many major national policies were planned by the emperor and Li Mi.

Shuofang Jiedu envoy Guo Ziyi, who holds a heavy army in his hand, is relied on and feared by the emperor.

But for Li Mi's talent, the current emperor appreciates him very much, and often summons him to carry out palace planning.

Therefore, Guo Ziyi didn't have any contempt for Li Mi, the young secretary supervisor. He solemnly sent a message, and walked into Li Mi's house under the leadership of his servants.

Unexpectedly, Li Mi didn't meet the guests in the study, and the servant dressed as a Taoist boy brought Guo Ziyi to the back garden.

Guo Ziyi saw an alchemy furnace as high as a lobby, and Li Mi was sitting in front of this alchemy furnace, meditating.

I heard that Li Bi loves to practice Taoism before, but I didn't expect that he would also practice alchemy at home.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Li Mi opened his eyes and said with a smile on his handsome face:
"Guo Pingzhang, why are you looking for me, a foreigner, who is so leisurely and elegant today?"

An outsider is Li Mi's self-proclaimed.

The emperor repeatedly wanted to grant him the high position of peace and worship him as prime minister, but Li Mi insisted on refusing to accept it.

In the end, Li Heng had no choice but to ask Li Mi what kind of official he was going to be.

Li Mi pointed out that he had worked as a young supervisor in the secretary supervisor during the Kaiyuan period, and now he only seeks the position of a secretary supervisor.

Li Heng had no choice but to grant him the position of secretary and supervisor, but he was promoted to be a member of the secretariat, and he was granted the inner court position of Zhizhi, so that Li Mi could participate in the important affairs of the court.

And Li Mi is also a person with personality. The secretary supervisor is one of the nine imperial court supervisors, and he controls the imperial court's large library.

This position can be said to be a high position but light power. In the past, it was used to accommodate senior ministers who made great contributions but were about to resign.

So this Secretary Supervisor is a high-ranking official of the second rank, a senior official who can wear a red-purple official robe.

But Li Mi never wore official robes, and every time he appeared in the court, he was dressed as a Taoist priest.

He also claimed to be an outsider, and declined Li Heng's many gold and silver rewards.

Everyone in the Lingwu court believed that Li Mi had deliberately pretended to be like this for the sake of fame, and even thought that he was grandstanding.

But Guo Ziyi knew that this Li Mi was capable, and that Li Mi really didn't care about being rich.

If it weren't for the Anshi Rebellion, Li Mi might still be practicing Taoism in the mountains and be a free person.

But Li Mi's appearance couldn't make Guo Ziyi let go of her anger.

Guo Ziyi sat down directly and said, "How much did you participate in the matter of King Jianning?"

Li Mi waved the floating dust in his hand, and the Taoist boys who were busy in the yard retreated one after another.

The fire in the alchemy furnace went out, Li Mi sighed and said: "Guo Pingzhang, you broke my good pill."

Guo Ziyi stood up and asked, "Li Jianzheng, let me ask you, do you know anything about King Jianning?"

Li Mi sighed and said: "Of course I know about it, not only about knowing about it, I also suggested that King Jianning go to Longyou Dao."

"You!" Guo Ziyi stared at Li Mi with wide eyes.

"Your Majesty relied on King Jianning to assist and protect him from Maweipo to Lingwu. Everyone in the army said that King Jianning had Taizong's martial strategy! Why did you let him go to Longyou Road?"

Li Mi stared into Guo Ziyi's eyes and said, "I asked King Jianning to go to Longyou Road for the crown prince."

"For the sake of the crown prince? You claim to be an idler, and you want to get involved in this kind of thing? Now that the court has moved to Lingwu, do you want to play some drama of seizing the throne first?"

Guo Ziyi was full of anger. When the current emperor was still the crown prince, he took the position of Marshal of Shuofang Bingma.

Although he was only a remote leader, Li Heng never left Xijing to go to Shuofang, but he sent King Jianning to Shuofang to practice.

Guo Ziyi likes King Jianning very much, and once taught Li Yan the strategy of war, it can be said that he treats him as his nephew.

And King Jianning is also the bravest among the Li and Tang royal families. The army said that he looks like Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, and he is proficient in everything.

It is still an important time to crusade against the bandits, shouldn't princes like King Jianning be reused?

But Li Mi actually suggested that the emperor send King Jianning to Longyou.

According to the latest news, King Jianning and his subordinates were attacked by Uighur bandits, and their lives and deaths are uncertain.

That's why Guo Ziyi came to Master Li Bixing to question him.

Li Mi still had a faint smile on his face. He completely ignored Guo Ziyi's coercion, but said slowly:
"It is precisely because King Jianning has the appearance of Emperor Taizong that the events of Emperor Taizong cannot be repeated."

Li Mi looked at Guo Ziyi and said, "Guo Pingzhang, how sure are you of killing the security bandits?"

Guo Ziyi straightened her back and said, "Of course I'm very sure!"

Li Bi said with a smile: "I'm very sure, how many years do you want?"

"It's two or three years if it's broken, and it's four or five years at most!"

Guo Ziyi naturally has this self-confidence. The rebel army in Anlu Mountain is the elite of the imperial court, but Guo Ziyi is also very good at leading troops to fight. He led the Shuofang army before, and he was about to fight the third town of Pinglu Fanyang, the old nest of Anlu Mountain.

If the emperor hadn't urgently ordered Guo Ziyi to return to Shuofang, Guo Ziyi might have broken through An Lushan's lair.

But Li Mi said with a smile: "Guo Pingzhang, I believe you have the ability to put down the bandits in two or three years. But this can only be done when the soldiers use their lives and the court supports it. If the court is not peaceful, the soldiers don't need it." Ming, may I ask if you can suppress the thief?"

Guo Ziyi was stunned.

In the battle of a large army, the commander and soldiers are very important, but the logistics and the emperor are also very important.

Before Ge Shuhan stationed troops in Tongguan, he had a chance to consume An Lushan to death.

However, the emperor Li Longji kept ordering micro-management and asked the army to attack, and finally buried 200,000 elites of the Tang Dynasty.

It can be seen that in war, it is not only the commander who can decide whether to win or lose.

But what does this have to do with Li Mi's suggestion that King Jianning go to Longyou?
