Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 287 Li Fei's Reliance

Prince Li Heng said in his heart that he was as angry as he was, and he was gnashing his teeth, wishing to cut Li Fei into pieces.Originally, today he led the imperial army's mutiny, punished Yang Guozhong, and forced his father to give Yang Guifei to death. The prestige of his prince has surpassed that of the emperor. Can no longer suppress him.

However, just because Li Fei forcibly forced him to back down in front of so many imperial guards, the prestige he had just established as a prince was knocked down by Li Fei in an instant. He regarded today as a great shame and humiliation.

Chen Xuanli and other soldiers of the imperial army were also angry at Li Fei's arrogance, feeling that Li Fei not only oppressed the crown prince, but also reprimanded His Majesty.

Li Fei didn't care what the crown prince, Chen Xuanli and others thought, anyway, he had already taken this step, and there was no turning back.

After entering the inn, Li Fei first saw Tang Xuanzong, and paid homage to Tang Xuanzong.

Tang Xuanzong only nodded his head and said nothing. Now that he is an emperor, he has no majesty. The prince and the imperial army mutiny. Although Li Fei is not part of the prince's party, he still gives him face as an emperor.

Tang Xuanzong's heart was complicated. He couldn't refute any of Li Fei's accusations against him. Perhaps the reason for Tang Xuanzong's difficulties today was really his fault.However, Li Fei is so rampant and domineering, he is so reckless, and treats the imperial power as nothing, which also makes him worry in his heart, whether Li Fei will eventually evolve into another An Lushan.

After paying homage to Tang Xuanzong, Li Fei continued to walk towards the place where Yang Guifei was led by the eunuch.

When Li Fei entered, he happened to see Concubine Yang holding Princess Yongping. There were obvious tears on Jue Shi's cheeks, which was heartbreaking.

Concubine Yang Gui had indeed cried bitterly just now, she thought she would say goodbye to her daughter forever.Her original heart was ashamed, but because of Li Fei's arrival, she was forcibly pulled back from the gate of hell. Seeing her daughter again, she was glad that she was still alive and had the opportunity to watch her grow up, so she cried.

"Godmother, Li Fei came late, let the godmother almost get killed!"

"Silly boy, is it worth it for you to endure so much pressure for the sake of your godmother?" This mutiny was launched by the crown prince and the forbidden army. From Li Fei's roar that resounded throughout the station, Concubine Yang Gui could resemble it. How did Fei force the prince and the imperial army to retreat, and how much pressure must be there? I am afraid that from today onwards, the prince will regard Li Fei as his mortal enemy.

Concubine Yang Gui didn't know that Li Fei even Tang Xuanzong had a painful meal, otherwise she would be even more worried about Li Fei.

"Li Fei didn't have his own biological parents in the Tang Dynasty. It was the godmother who always protected the child and gave the child maternal love. The godmother is Li Fei's own mother. Even if Li Fei risked his life, he would not let the godmother suffer any harm. " Li Fei said solemnly.

Originally, traveling to the Tang Dynasty was rather illusory. If Li Fei did everything again, considered whether it was worthwhile, and feared the consequences, then what would be the point of this experience.He is a person who values ​​affection, and if he regards Concubine Yang Gui as his biological mother, it is impossible to see death without saving him. He should be worthy of his conscience in life.

The Tang Dynasty is not the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the past. Without the support of the prosperous age, the crown prince and Tang Xuanzong are not so majestic, which makes him afraid!

"Is this the godmother's righteous sister? She's so cute." Li Fei reached out and slid his hand over the delicate face of Princess Yongping.

While Li Fei was accompanying Concubine Yang, the crown prince, Chen Xuanli and other imperial guards who surrounded the inn had also dispersed.

With the protection of Li Fei and [-] Anton cavalry, it is impossible for them to continue to force and kill Concubine Yang, and it is useless to surround the post station, but it seems to intimidate the emperor.

"Bang!" The prince returned to his residence, and angrily swept the cups and tea sets on a table to the ground.

"Li Fei! I remember the shame of today, and you will regret it in the future!" The crown prince roared. At the beginning, Li Fei had a kindness to him, but what Li Fei has done today has made the original kindness disappear. , he only had anger and shame towards Li Fei!

In the post station, Li Fei accompanied his godmother Yang Guifei for nearly two hours before returning to the station of Anton Iron Cavalry.

Wu Sheng, Lu Xin, Mao Youde and other Anton cavalry generals were all waiting for Li Fei to come back.

"Hahahaha, Lord Jiedushi is really domineering, the crown prince and His Majesty can't refute it!" Wu Sheng laughed and said to Li Fei with great admiration.

Although Wu Sheng used to be a mid-level general in the Forbidden Army, and Chen Xuanli was his immediate superior at any rate, Wu Sheng originally came from the frontier, unlike most generals in the Forbidden Army who came from the sons of high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an City. Sheng very much looked down on those old-fashioned soldiers in the Forbidden Army who bullied the weak and feared the hard.Besides, when he clashed with the Hu generals under An Lushan, the court treated them unfairly and did not blame those Hu people at all, but just blamed him with a rod without asking why, almost beat him to death, and then drove him out. The imperial army was left to fend for itself, and it was Li Fei who 'picked up' him back for treatment. He had long been chilled by the court, and now that this life was given to him by Li Fei, he had already made up his mind to swear allegiance to Li Fei to the death.

"Although Lord Jiedu is domineering, he is the prince after all, and Lord Jiedu has scolded His Majesty. I am afraid that in the future, whether it is the prince or His Majesty, he will have a grudge against Lord Jiedu. Development is unfavorable." Lu Xin frowned.

Li Fei glanced at Lu Xin lightly. Although Lu Xin had such an attitude, he was already very satisfied, because Lu Xin was not accusing him, but blindly defending the imperial power. A little more than facing the prince and Tang Xuanzong.

"Mao Youde, what do you say?" Li Fei didn't respond to Lu Xin's words, but asked Mao Youde, his dog-headed military advisor.

Mao Youde thought for a while before speaking.

"I think Master Jiedu's overbearing is just right, and there is nothing wrong with it. Master Jiedu attaches great importance to love and righteousness. Since the use of soldiers to suppress the prince and compromise with the imperial army is inherently coercive, even if Master Jiedu has a gentle attitude. Some even bowed their knees to the prince to "plead" to let the prince have a "face" to step down, but they still forced the prince, and the prince would still hate Master Jiedushi and regard it as a great shame. On the contrary, Master Jiedushi In order to save the noble concubine, he was so overbearing and reckless, let alone the crown prince, even His Majesty was hurt. Although the crown prince and His Majesty hated Lord Jiedu Envoy, on the other hand they also felt that Lord Jiedu Envoy was too reckless and reckless, no? The character of making great things happen, on the contrary, he will be less wary of Lord Jiedushi."

"Furthermore, when Tongguan was lost, His Majesty and the Crown Prince abandoned Chang'an City. Guanzhong was already in the possession of the rebel army. After losing Chang'an City and Guanzhong, the Tang Dynasty was really at a critical moment. Under such circumstances, the Crown Prince and His Majesty would not Will give up any force that can help Datang resist the rebels. As long as the Lord Jiedu is not aware of the rebellion, the prince and His Majesty will rely on the Lord Jiedu. My lord, do it."

Sure enough, Mao Youde was a dog-headed military strategist who had been 'trained' in a complicated place like Jing Zhaoyin, but he had two brushes, and he almost guessed Li Fei's thoughts.

Li Fei nodded: "Indeed, the crown prince and His Majesty will not touch me until the rebel army is completely wiped out, and even if the Anlushan rebel army is wiped out in the future, the Tang Dynasty has been so scourged by the Anlushan rebel army, and it is already full of vitality Injury, coupled with the ills accumulated by previous political corruption, the extreme character developed by the prince who was suppressed and framed for many years, he will not be a good successor anyway. Datang will not be able to return to the past. I also said that I am overbearing, and I, Li Fei, am not made of mud, some things I just don't want to do, and if I am really determined to develop it, the court may not be able to do anything to me."

Li Fei's words were really treasonous. If they heard people who were stubbornly loyal to the Tang court, Li Fei would not be inferior to the rebellious rebel An Lushan.

After saying this, Li Fei quietly observed the expressions of Wu Sheng, Lu Xin and other people present.He said that on purpose, with some tentative elements included. He wanted to know whether all the generals of Anton's iron cavalry were completely loyal to him, and whether anyone thought he was a traitor and strongly wanted to oppose him.

Once he embarked on this path, he could not turn back. He had to be careful everywhere, and one mistake would lead to eternal doom.

For a while, no one stood up to oppose the accusation. Although some individuals hesitated, they remained silent in the end and did not choose to stand up to accuse him. I'd rather be on his side.

Of course, compared to the attitude of ordinary generals, Li Fei cares more about Lu Xin's attitude, because even if some of those ordinary generals are loyal to the court and stand up against him, it will be difficult to influence the entire Anton Iron Cavalry, but Lu Xin is different, He had actually controlled the Andong Protectorate Mansion for several years. Lu Xin had a certain prestige in the Andong Protectorate Mansion. At least a quarter of the Andong Iron Cavalry listened to Lu Xin. If Lu Xin opposed him, it was very likely that he would Caused the division of Anton Cavalry.

What makes imperial power truly dreadful is its majesty and the supreme power it represents.

Since the Anlu Mountain rebellion, the Tang Dynasty has been defeated, not only losing the eastern capital Luoyang and Tongguan, but now even Chang'an City and Guanzhong are about to fall into the hands of Anlu Mountain. The prince and Tang Xuanzong fled in embarrassment. It's gone.

Those who are really stubborn and only think about being loyal to the imperial power are more likely to be a slightly old-fashioned literati like Du Fu who grew up studying Confucianism.If Du Fu were here, maybe he would stand up and accuse Li Fei of treason.

Leaders and generals valued reality and friendship more, and there were not many loyal to the imperial power. Just look at the history that the Tang Dynasty entered the separatist regime after the Anshi Rebellion, and the central government could not continue to command the soldiers and horses of those feudal towns.

The reason why there are vassal towns is not only because the Tang Dynasty gave Jiedu envoys too much power in the local area, but also because the imperial authority of the Tang royal family has disappeared.

Moreover, due to the long distance and the repeated barriers of the Khitan and Xi tribes, the Anton Protectorate's Mansion has almost become its own country for decades, and the influence of the imperial power on the Andong Protectorate's mansion has always been the smallest among all the border areas.The people of the Anton Protectorate Mansion have long been used to obeying the words of the local rulers.After Li Fei came to Andong Governor's Mansion, he brought about unimaginable changes to the Andong Governor's Mansion. In less than three years, the people were rich and well-off. The people in the government formed the habit of only knowing Li Fei, but not the Tang court.Li Fei is the real "king" in the hearts of the people of Anton.

The Andong iron cavalry, from the generals to the ordinary soldiers, all came from the Andong Protectorate. Their whole family is still in the Andong Protectorate. In the meantime, of course they turned more toward Li Fei.

As for Lu Xin, he also saw the corruption of the Tang court, and watched the Tang court come here step by step. He has long been disappointed with the Tang court.Coupled with Li Fei's kindness to him for saving his life, and Li Fei's various "miracles", his choice of silence is actually a disguised choice to face Li Fei.

Seeing the reaction of the generals, Li Fei was completely relieved.

The so-called political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. In such an era, if you have soldiers in your hands, you will have confidence in your heart.

In addition to mastering a strong team, Li Fei's confidence also comes from his advance prediction of the general trend of history.After the Anshi Rebellion, even the Khitan and Xi clans who had lost their elite were helpless. Li Fei determined to plan for himself and develop his own power. What can you do with him! ——
