Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 224 Lin Siming's Worries

Before Tang Xuanzong made his decision, Lin Siming stood up.

"His Majesty!"

Tang Xuanzong's words were interrupted as soon as he reached his mouth, and he felt uncomfortable no matter what.He stared at Lin Siming below. He used to be smart and talented, but why was he so blind?
"What do you have to say?" Tang Xuanzong asked coldly.

Lin Siming smiled wryly in his heart, he knew that at this moment, Tang Xuanzong began to tire of him.I couldn't help complaining to Li Fei in my heart, my son-in-law, your old father-in-law, I put my future on the line just to help you.

"Your Majesty, there is no further news from Anton. Where should the troops be transferred, and how many troops should be transferred? The King of Dongping County just pacified the Khitans last year, but the King of Dongping County also wrote to the court. Because of the battle with the Khitans, the King of Dongping County The army's weapons and armor have been damaged a lot, and they have been waiting for the supply from the imperial court. Now it has only been a few months, and the imperial court has only supplied a small part. And the food and salaries of the soldiers, etc., is the imperial court prepared? Everything is complicated, and we should wait for the Ministry of War , the Ministry of Households will check, and wait for further news from Anton before making a complete decision. At most, it will take three or two days. The sky cannot be guarded, if not, I implore the Jiedu envoy Li Fei to investigate and behead him, and I will never tolerate it!" In order to help Li Fei win the three days that Li Fei wanted, Lin Siming really said all he could say at once up.

When Lin Siming said this, Tang Xuanzong was happy.He knew the relationship between Lin Siming and Li Fei very well, but Lin Siming said that if An Dong made a mistake, he begged Li Fei to be investigated and beheaded.

Tang Xuanzong nodded. He also wanted to see if Li Fei had ruined the relationship with the Bohai Kingdom and forced the Bohai Kingdom to raise troops against the Tang Dynasty. Could it be that he couldn't even defend Anton for a few days? It is not a pity to die.

"Your Majesty, if you want to transfer the army under the King of Dongping into Andong to meet the army of the Bohai Kingdom, you must first supply the King of Dongping with weapons, food, etc., otherwise the soldiers will have no weapons and armor, and five enough food and grass. How can we fight!" Said by the officials bought by Lushan.

Originally, one of the purposes of Anlu Mountain was to take the opportunity to ask for enough weapons, food, grass and so on.An Lushan not only wanted Anton, but also wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail the court in order to further strengthen his own strength.

"Yes, Your Majesty, to transfer the army under King Dongping, you should prepare weapons, food and grass in advance, so that King Dongping can defeat the army of Bohai State as soon as possible and maintain the prestige of the Tang Dynasty." These people can be regarded as helping Lin Siming and Li Fei .

An Lushan didn't know, because of his greed and underestimation of Li Fei, he didn't think that Li Fei had the possibility of defeating the [-] army of the Bohai Kingdom. Sending troops instead made him miss the opportunity to turn the Anton Governor's Mansion into his own territory.

Tang Xuanzong thought about it too, he couldn't just give nothing, let Lu Shan take his soldiers who didn't have enough weapons and armor to fight.

Lushan has meritorious service and is a pillar of the Tang Dynasty, and he will continue to fight for the Tang Dynasty again, so he cannot be treated badly.

Soldiers are precious and fast, Tang Xuanzong didn't think it really took two or three days to make a decision.

"The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households started counting overnight, and everything will be ready by tomorrow afternoon at the latest!" Tang Xuanzong only gave one day, and asked the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households to check clearly overnight and make all the preparations that should be prepared.

Seeing Tang Xuanzong's decision, Lin Siming sighed. Li Fei asked him to fight for three days, but his influence was minimal, and there was only so much he could do, one day?Hehe, what can we achieve in such a short time?
Lin Siming didn't understand what was going on with Anton, and he didn't understand how shocking the situation was. He tried his best, and the only thing left was worry.

All officials are fools. In the past, when Li Linfu was in power, they followed Li Linfu. Now that Yang Guozhong is in power, they follow Yang Guozhong. They do what is beneficial to them.

Almost all the officials have already seen that Yang Guozhong and Li Fei are not dealing with each other. As Li Fei's father-in-law, Lin Siming is inevitably excluded and ridiculed by those officials who follow Yang Guozhong, but in the end he has also mixed up to the current fourth rank, barely counting Being a senior official is enough to show that Lin Siming is an old fritter.

"Master Prime Minister, Li Fei completely lost his Sacred Heart after going through this incident, and can no longer continue to be right with you." An official complimented Yang Guozhong.

"Li Fei committed suicide, even Li Linfu couldn't fight against the truth, how could he dare to fight against the truth?" Yang Guozhong laughed.

Although he knew that Tang Xuanzong had already thought about the punishment of Li Fei in his heart, but tomorrow afternoon he would make a start in the court to confirm Li Fei's 'crime' in front of the court. This official was prepared by Yang Guozhong Tomorrow afternoon in the courtroom, the person who will charge Li Fei with a 'crime'.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households worked overtime overnight, checking and counting, etc., to prepare the necessary weapons, armor, food and grass for An Lushan to send troops into Andong to meet Bohai.

In fact, even if the imperial decree goes down, it will take more than half a month, or even more than a month, for the weapons and food to be in place.However, Li Fei was afraid that An Lushan would lead the army into Andong as soon as he got the imperial edict, so he was so anxious.

In the afternoon of the next day, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Finance basically completed the check, and Tang Xuanzong reopened the court meeting.

At the first meeting of the court, it was determined that An Lushan would be the commander-in-chief, and he would command the [-] troops under his command to enter Andong, meet the Bohai Kingdom, and even defeat the Bohai Kingdom.

Although An Lushan has 20 troops under his command, the mere Bohai State does not need to dispatch all 20 troops. According to Tang Xuanzong and Baiguan, [-] versus [-] is enough, not to mention that there are local soldiers in Anton Well, the combined strength is enough to crush the [-] troops of the Bohai Kingdom.

Weapons and armor, food and grass, etc. have also been determined.

The few officials bought by An Lushan were very happy when they saw that the matter was confirmed, because most of the benefits promised by An Lushan were given after the completion of the matter. The benefits are gone!

Next is the main purpose of Yang Guozhong's design of this incident, to accuse Li Fei of "crimes" and bring Li Fei down.

"Your Majesty! It has now been confirmed that the king of Dongping County will lead the army into Andong to meet the invasion and the army of the Bohai Kingdom. The Bohai Kingdom's military campaign against us in the Tang Dynasty was really caused by its misconduct, and it must be punished!" The officials arranged by Yang Guozhong stood up and reported that they wanted to confirm Li Fei's charges in court, and it was also for Tang Xuanzong to follow the law. Li Fei was punished in court.

Seeing this scene, Lin Siming felt nervous and worried about Li Fei.

Above, Tang Xuanzong nodded.
