Chapter 683 Loyal ministers

After Cui Huan finished speaking, the remaining five prime ministers all looked at him coldly.

If there are players here, they will probably shout "Little Heizi is showing his chicken feet".

Pei Mian knew that among his colleagues, there must be supporters of the crown prince, so Cui Huan jumped out at this moment.

It is not uncommon for Cui Huan to support the prince, but it is uncommon for the prince to have no supporters in the political affairs hall.

Just like Pei Mian fell to the King of Yue early on, the prime ministers in the Zhengshitang also have their own tendencies.

Li Lin belongs to the clan, he loves literature and likes extravagance, he has made great contributions to welcoming back the emperor in the middle of Shu, he has the most detached stand, he is the least concerned about the succession of the throne, and he is even the most slack about the government affairs of the government affairs hall.

Miao Jinqing had been in the Zhengshitang during the emperor's time. He was able to join the Zhengshitang from a poor family. He was smooth and never actively expressed his thoughts in the Zhengshitang.

However, Miao Jinqing is also a capable minister. He started as a county lieutenant and served in almost six ministries.

Miao Jinqing's position was to be loyal to the emperor, but he didn't care who sat on the throne.

He was a Jinshi during the Emperor's period, and he was also an important minister under the Emperor, but after the Emperor returned to Chang'an, he never visited Xingqing Palace once, and he never interacted with the Emperor's cronies.

Pei Mian glanced at Zhang Hao. This poor family prime minister has the most straightforward personality, but in political affairs, he has advanced and retreated with the prudent Miao Jinqing. Now the contradiction between the wealthy and the poor has appeared in the court. Pei Mian, who was born in a wealthy family, was quite displeased by Zhang Hao's frequent support of officials from poor families.

But if you don't like it, you don't like it. Zhang Hao is proficient in military affairs. Now Guo Ziyi's army's logistics matters are all prepared by him. Even if he offended the emperor before, Li Heng held his nose and invited him back for the sake of fighting.

After King Yue put forward the slogan of suppressing rebellion and rebellion, Zhang Hao was also the most supportive, but he was more loyal than himself as a traitor.

This is a threat!
Pei Mian thought secretly.

Finally there is Li Xian, Li Xian is a traditional Confucian minister.

When Li Xian was in charge of Dali Temple, he interceded for the minister who surrendered to the puppet Yan and opposed the harsh policy of Cui Qi, the imperial censor at that time.

Li Xian is generous in politics, and he is also a kind person in the Zhengshitang, so he has no position.

It seems that Cui Huan has no other accomplices, Pei Mian cleared his throat and said:

"Today, I am the Prime Minister of Bingbi. Your Majesty will not see me. At this time, you should stick to your duty and don't add chaos to Chang'an."

"Everyone is still living in the Zhengshitang today, first seal the seal of the Zhengshitang, and wait until the situation in the palace is clear."

Li Lin, Li Xian, Miao Jinqing quickly nodded in agreement, and Zhang Hao nodded after thinking about it.

Seeing the result of five to one, Cui Huan also knew that the situation was over, so he could only sit down sullenly.

In the Xiangzhou Camp of the Tang Army, Li Fuguo has been a little restless recently.

Now that the war in Xiangzhou is on and off, although the coach Guo Ziyi is unwilling to negotiate a peace with Shi Siming, Li Fuguo, through the Shence Army he controls, keeps dragging his feet in the army, which actually stops Tang Jun.

Although Guo Ziyi lost his temper in the camp, he had nothing to do with Li Fuguo.

Li Fuguo is very experienced in dealing with ministers like Guo Ziyi.

They have an almost stupid loyalty to the emperor, but this loyalty is only an appearance.

Guo Ziyi can prove her innocence by being self-polluted, and she was willing to give up her rights in the previous counter-insurgency, and even took the initiative to take the blame after the prince's random command and defeat.

To be able to achieve this step, it is better to say that Guo Ziyi is loyal to the evaluation in the history books than to say that Guo Ziyi is loyal to the Tang Dynasty and the emperor.

Commanding the Tang army to suppress the rebellion, this kind of credit is enough for Guo Ziyi to leave a strong mark in the history books.

The heroes of the founding of the country were too good at fighting, but Guo Ziyi didn't want to compete with them in combat effectiveness, and he couldn't compare with them.

The only thing that can be left in the history books is the word "loyalty".

So Li Fuguo understood Guo Ziyi's mentality very well. Although he fiercely opposed the peace negotiation, if the emperor ordered a peace negotiation, Guo Ziyi would not be able to go alone.

What's more, the Shence Army is also part of the anti-insurgency army today, and the Shence Army is in the hands of Li Fuguo.

Li Fuguo has followed Li Heng for so many years, so he naturally understands the emperor's thoughts very well.

The emperor will definitely accept Shi Siming's surrender.

Li Heng is definitely not a courageous monarch. When Lingwu ascended the throne, it was Li Mi and Du Hongjian who supported him, and Li Fuguo persuaded him to ascend the throne tremblingly.

After ascending the throne, Li Heng quickly sent envoys to Shuzhong to inquire about the emperor's attitude.

That is to say, after being the emperor for a long time in these years, it can be regarded as having some majesty of the emperor.

The emperor's health is not good, and his greatest wish is to put down the chaos in Hedong and leave a reputation in the history books that surpasses that of the emperor.

Li Fuguo knew the emperor's wish, and Shi Siming's attitude this time was considered humble, even the prime ministers of the Zhengshitang should be able to accept it.

Now Li Fuguo's greatest wish is naturally to return to Chang'an City as soon as possible.

When leaving Chang'an, Li Fuguo had a secret agreement with Queen Zhang, and Li Fuguo also kept many of his own people by the emperor's side, and he was very well informed about the news of the inner and outer courts.

When leaving Beijing, only Yu Chaoen was with the emperor.

For Yu Chaoen, Li Fuguo didn't think highly of him, thinking that he was a non-threatening dog and could not threaten his position in the emperor's heart.

Li Fuguo had been in the palace for a long time, and he had a good eye for eunuchs. It was also because Yu Chaoen was not a threat to him, so he stayed in the palace to serve the emperor.

If Yu Chaoen was a threat, Li Fuguo would have brought him to the front line long ago.

However, Li Fuguo made a lot of calculations and let this guy Mu Rong take the position.

Before Li Fuguo left Chang'an, Mu Rong was still a middle-level eunuch who couldn't even enter the palace gate!

How come after Li Fuguo left Chang'an, he skyrocketed like this, and now he is the personal eunuch accompanying the emperor!

The emperor also handed over a so-called East Factory to Mu Rong to take care of, and it was managed quite well.

Li Fuguo could tolerate a mediocre Yu Chaoen by the emperor's side, but he could not tolerate Mu Rong by his side.

Now that Li Fuguo is ready to return, he wants to return to Chang'an immediately, and find a way to drive Mu Rong away from the emperor!
Let him repair the imperial mausoleum?

No, isn't it cheap for the kid?Let him go to Lingnan to buy court tributes!

The more Li Fuguo thought about it, the more he wanted to end the war on the front line as soon as possible, and return to Chang'an with the credit of pacifying Hedong!
At that time, as a general of the auxiliary country, I should be able to give it another mention, right?

Should be able to surpass the Duke Gao Lishi, right?
Li Fuguo couldn't help sneering, he was still thinking about Guo Ziyi and the emperor just now, didn't he pursue an evaluation in history?

The title of the most powerful eunuch throughout the ages.

Li Fuguo felt more and more uneasy, but now that the frontline fighting has gradually stopped, the crown prince and King Qi have both left Chang'an, so nothing will happen to Chang'an, right?

Maybe?
Or send someone to Chang'an to inquire?
Li Fuguo called his godson and asked him to return to Chang'an immediately to find out the situation, and then continued to arrange the Shence Army to hold Guo Ziyi back.

In Bianzhou city.

The relationship between Bianzhou and Chang'an is very close, and the news of Chang'an can reach Bianzhou within seven days, which is why the prince chose Bianzhou to release.

Similarly, before leaving Chang'an, the prince also planted a lot of eyeliners in Chang'an, especially the prime minister Cui Huan was the prince's biggest backer in Chang'an.

This time the new money law was implemented in Bianzhou, and his father even wrote a letter from his family to commend him. Li Chu was in a very good mood.

As for the complaints of Bianzhou merchants and common people, Li Chu naturally couldn't hear them. During these days, he was constantly giving gifts to the generals around him, trying to win these military leaders to be loyal to him.

The Bianzhou veteran who once fought with Zhang Wu and now returned to his hometown was recruited by Li Chu with money and formed a united army in Bianzhou.

Li Chu's subordinates didn't have any talents to command the army, so he also put on his armor in a decent manner, and went to the Bianzhou United Army to inspect it, and he no longer had any interest in going to the barracks.

However, Li Chu was in a bad mood recently. He insisted on negotiating peace with Shi Chaoyi, and personally sent someone to send Luo Yue to Chang'an. The two warriors Zhang Wu and Nan Jiyun were messed up!

They actually killed the envoys they sent to proclaim the decree!
Hearing this news, Li Chu wished he could rush directly to Qingzhou and kill Zhang Wu and Nan Jiyun!
On the contrary, this is a blatant rebellion!

Li Chu wrote to the court, requesting the court to punish Zhang Nan and his wife.

But an envoy from the north came to Li Chu's house, making Li Chu no longer resent Zhang Nan and Zhang Nan, but secretly grateful to them.

The emissary's name was Li Baochen, who was originally An Lushan's adopted son, and was later sent to Hedong by An Qingxu together with Shi Siming.

Now Li Baochen is a general under Shi Siming's command, and this time he brought Shi Siming's personal letter.

In the secret room of the Bianzhou Jiedu Mission Mansion, Li Chu read Shi Siming's secret letter, looked at Li Baochen who was dressed as a merchant, and asked:

"Shi Siming, oh no, General Shi wants to help me win the heir?"

Although Li Baochen is a general, he has always been famous in Hedong for his cunning and cunning, so Shi Siming also sent him as an envoy to secretly collude with Li Chu.

Shi Siming's personal letter stated that he was willing to secretly join Li Chu and help him recover and seize the heir in Chang'an in the future!

This condition made Li Chu take a deep breath. Military power is what he lacks the most as a prince. Shi Siming's proposal is too tempting!
