Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 30

Li Mi, who was dressed in a white Taoist robe, passed through many servants and walked in front of Li Heng.

For this old friend, Li Heng respected him quite a lot. He directly waived Li Mi's visit etiquette, and asked directly, "Is there something urgent for Mr. Bi to come?"

Li Mi looked at Yu Chaoen beside the emperor, Yu Chaoen immediately understood what Li Mi meant, Yu Chaoen lowered his head and said, "Everyone, Yu Chaoen begs to retreat."

Unexpectedly, Li Heng pulled Yu Chaoen, and said to Li Mi: "Mr. Bi, Chaoen is my private person. If there is something to do, it's okay to say it."

Unexpectedly, Li Mi said with a stern face: "The emperor has no personal interests, and what the minister says is a major matter for the country. How can you allow people who have nothing to do with you?"

Now Li Heng withdrew his hand shyly, and said to Yu Chaoen, "Yu Chaoen, go check on the guards, and report back after Bi Gong leaves."

"The slave obeys!"

Yu Chaoen bid farewell, a gleam of hatred flashed in his eyes, but he quickly lowered his head to cover up the gleam, and left the yard obediently.

Now that there was no one around, Li Heng's attitude became more relaxed, and he said, "You can say it, Mr. Bi."

Li Mi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, King Jianning has not passed away."

Now Li Heng's face changed, and he blushed and asked, "My son is not dead!? Didn't it mean that King Jianning and the Yabing were wiped out by Uighur bandits?"

Li Mi nodded and said, "Saint, Zhang Mian, the governor of Guazhou, sent a letter saying that King Jianning led more than a hundred soldiers to escape from birth, and they are now in Guazhou."

Hearing that his son was not dead, Li Heng also showed a trace of sincerity on his face, he said happily: "My son is indeed a blessed person, quickly call King Jianning back to Lingwu!"

Li Mi stopped Li Heng and said, "Saint, no!"

"Why not?"

"King Jianning encountered Uyghur bandits near Yumen Pass in Longyou Dao last month. Has the saint ever thought about why there are still Uighur bandits in Longyou Dao in November, and how did the mere bandits defeat King Jianning? Guarded by the Dental Guard?"

Now Li Heng is sober. He has also been the prince for decades. This conspiracy is clear at a glance, and thinking of the close relationship between his prince Li Yu and Uighur, Li Heng understands what happened.

Li Heng's face changed. Obviously, the prince Li Yu colluded with the Uighurs to attack his younger brother, which had touched the emperor's bottom line.

Seeing Li Heng's expression, Li Mi immediately said: "Sage, the prince should not take it easy!"

This sentence awakened Li Heng. Now Prince Li Yu is the Grand Marshal of the world. Since arriving in Lingwu, Li Heng has handed over all the military preparations to Li Yu.

Now that Li Yu's wings are full, if the crown prince is easily replaced, the entire Lingwu court may be torn apart.

Thinking of this, Li Heng felt even more uncomfortable. At this moment, he could finally understand how the emperor treated him back then.

There is a powerful prince in the court, which also makes Li Heng feel like he is on his back.

Thinking of Zhang Meiren's whispering on the pillow yesterday, Li Heng felt even more uncomfortable.

Li Mi continued: "Saint, I think that King Jianning should stay in Longyou Road to guard against Tubo's invasion in the spring."

The emperor's eyes lit up. If he summoned King Jianning back to Lingwu, it might be useless.

It's better to keep him in Longyou Dao, which can restrain Prince Li Yu instead.

This method is good!As expected of Li Bi!

Li Heng took Li Mi's hand and said: "Mr. Bi, it's fortunate that you are planning for me, but I don't know when the world will be settled!"

Li Heng sighed, and then said: "The crown prince knows the soldiers and is loyal to me, Mr. Bi, you should help him more."

Li Mi had an exquisite mind, and he immediately understood that Li Heng wanted to make himself look after the prince, but since ancient times, the emperor and the East Palace have been jealous of each other, and the Li family has a strong tradition of fatherly kindness and filial piety.

Li Mi cupped his hands and said, "Bi Zunzhi."

Seeing that Li Mi agreed, Li Heng said in a good mood: "Then let the Zhongshu decree that King Jianning will open a mansion in Longyou Dao, lead the spring defense affairs of Longyou, and control all the towns in Longyou."

"Abiding by the order." Li Mi said, cupping his hands.

Promoting Li Yan is also the emperor's balancing hand, which is also beating Prince Li Yu.

After this set of actions, the prince must restrain himself a little.

However, Li Heng has already moved Prince Yichang's mind, but just as Li Mi said, Prince Yichang has to come slowly, if he is too hasty, he may suffer disaster instead.

Li Heng coughed violently for a while, decades of life as a crown prince had exhausted him too much energy, and after ascending the throne, he was reserved for his career, Li Heng only felt that his health was not as good as before.

At this moment, his desire to restore the two capitals is particularly strong.

Li Heng still couldn't stop holding Li Mi's hand and asked: "Chang Yuan, when will I be able to return to the two capitals!"

Changyuan is Li Mi's cousin, and Li Heng called Changyuan instead of Bi Gong, which is also a rare expression of the emperor's true feelings.

Li Mi also understood Li Heng's thoughts, but Bianqiao was defeated, and the Lingwu court could not gather enough manpower to attack the two capitals.

Now the only way to continue going south is to wait until the Shuofang army who attacked Hedong returns, and it will take spring plowing.

Li Mi said to Li Heng: "Saint, my minister said that day that it is easy to pacify the bandits, but it is difficult to pacify the feudal towns. Going east to Hebei and completely pacifying the Hebei feudal towns is a century-old strategy!"

Li Heng nodded. He naturally understood what Li Mi meant. An Lushan went deep alone, leaving only Shi Siming to defend his hometown in Hebei.

If the imperial court can eliminate Shi Siming who is entrenched in Hebei, Anlu Mountain, which has lost its logistical supplies, will soon collapse.

But now the imperial court's war in Hedong is not going well, not to mention that Li Heng is not very worried about Guo Ziyi who led his troops to the expedition.

For Li Heng, the land of Hebei can be given up. The best strategy is to defeat Anlu Mountain entrenched in the two capitals as soon as possible, and then welcome back the emperor.

Li Heng made a haha ​​and said: "I saw the people of Liangjing fall into the hands of the bandits, and they can't sleep or eat! The ancestral temple is in Liangjing, so it can't be destroyed by me!"

Seeing that Li Heng moved out of the ancestral temple, Li Mi knew that the emperor was playing hooligans, and the emperor was still determined to recover the two capitals first.

Just when Li Mi was about to continue persuading him, suddenly a very ugly eunuch walked in.

As soon as Li Bi saw this eunuch, he immediately shut up.

I saw that the eunuch was wearing a red-purple official gown that could only be worn by court officials, and he walked briskly at every step. When he saw the emperor, he knelt down and said:

"Saint, I have an important military report."

He knew that this eunuch must have something important to report, but Li Mi is not the prime minister, and according to the rules, he cannot attend such important matters, so Li Mi cupped his hands and said, "I will leave."

After saying this, Li Bi turned around and left the palace.

Waiting until Li Bi left, the official in red purple robes said:
"Everyone, Guo Ziyi was defeated in Hedong, and his troops were lost. Li Fuguo participated in the performance of Guo Ziyi's eagerness for success and treachery against the enemy. Your Majesty, please come down!"

Hearing the news of Guo Ziyi's defeat in Hedong, Li Heng couldn't help showing joy on his face!

Don't you advocate going east and going north?But you also suffered a defeat!
Now that Guo Ziyi has lost the battle, the court's strategy can be adjusted.

Thinking of this, Li Heng immediately said: "Guo Ziyi has worked so hard, he is the pillar of the country, how can he be easily punished. However, our army was exhausted in the Battle of Hedong, and this year's bitter cold may not be enough to attack the land of Hebei. I ordered Guo Ziyi to lead his troops back to Shuofang as soon as possible!"

Li Fuguo immediately said: "Observe the order!"
