Tian Wenxiu returned to the official office angrily and came directly to the official room of the chief historian Cui Wenjing, the matter of his alliance with Cui Wenjing had already spread all over Hexi, and they no longer needed to hide it.

After Pan Liao submitted his resignation, Guo Song adjusted the functions of the Governor's Office, and handed over most of the government affairs that originally belonged to Changshi to Zhang Qiu'an, who was a member of the army, and the other part was taken back by himself and handed over to several staff.

After being busy, Cui Wenjing still didn't get any power, and he was still being hollowed out, which made him extremely depressed and secretly scolded Tian Wenxiu for being incompetent.

It stands to reason that Tian Wenxiu, as a supervisor of the army, has the right to remove other officials of the Governor's Office other than the Jiedu Envoy, and also has the right to dispose of the generals in the army, but the premise must be that the Jiedu Envoy approves and cooperates with him in exercising power, if the Jiedu Envoy does not recognize the supervision power of the supervising army, then they can only go to the Son of Heaven to fight a lawsuit.

Tian Wenxiu walked into the official room and said to Cui Wenjing: "We want to impeach Guo Song and ask the Holy Lord to remove his envoy of moderation!" ”

Cui Wenjing stopped her pen and said in amazement: "What happened?" ”

Tian Wenxiu said with anger on his face: "He disobeyed the decree, did not agree to send his wife and daughter to Chang'an, and openly disobeyed the holy will of the Son of Heaven!" ”

"And what reason does he have?"

"He said his wife was six months pregnant and couldn't afford to travel long distances."

Cui Wenjing shook her head, "Unless it's postpartum weakness, but six months of pregnancy doesn't seem to be a reason!" ”

"So our family wants to impeach him, we have endured him for a winter, seen through what he did, and didn't take the Son of Heaven in our eyes at all."

Cui Wenjing took out a report from the drawer and handed it to Tian Wenxiu, "This is what Lu Xiangguo sent to me before the snow closed the road last year, Luo Yu's second son sued Guo Song in Chang'an for forcibly occupying the Luo family's property, and asked the court to uphold justice, Lu Xiangguo asked me to find out the truth, I checked for a winter, basically I have found out, the situation is true, that is, the winery and vineyard of the Hexi Army are now the property of the Luo family, and the Luo father and son were beheaded by him for the crime of collaborating with the enemy." ”

Tian Wenxiu hurriedly took the investigation report and asked, "What's the problem?" ”

"The problem is that this crime of collaborating with the enemy is too vague, as far as I know, many Sogdian merchants do business with Shatuo, and the Luo family is just one of them, and he used this crime to kill Luo's father and son, which is really far-fetched, and it is clearly to forcibly occupy Luo's family property, of course, he did not take it for himself, but used it as a military industry to solve the problem of military affairs, but this practice is too bad, the imperial court absolutely does not allow it, and the prison can be used as a reason for impeachment."

Tian Wenxiu was overjoyed, he fabricated a lot of accusations, but there was always a lack of evidence, and now that he has this report, it is much more convincing.

Cui Wenjing reminded him again: "Last time, the prison army told me that the Hidden Sword Pavilion was also spying on Guo Song, so you had better cooperate with the Hidden Sword Pavilion, so that the content of your impeachment is supported by the report of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and the credibility will be much higher." ”

Tian Wenxiu nodded again and again, "Thank you Changshi for reminding me, I will discuss with them!" ”

.........

Tian Wenxiu was intensively planning the impeachment of Guo Song, this was his first report on the supervision of the army, which was particularly important, Tian Wenxiu carefully prepared for three days, and met Cui Wenjing twice, and then he wrote a 10,000-character report on the supervision of the army, and he immediately sent his henchmen to Chang'an on a fast horse.

At the same time, as a cooperation with the report of the supervising army, the Zangjian Pavilion also wrote a secret report at the intelligence point in Zhangye, and the buddy Mao Saburo took the initiative to ask Ying to send it to Liangzhou.

It's just unexpected that as soon as Mao Sanlang left the city with this secret report, he was presented to Guo Song by Wang Yue.

"You can really make it up!"

Guo Song sneered: "I actually said that my wife stuffed a pillow in her clothes and pretended to be six months pregnant. ”

Guo Song used ink to erase the previous paragraph, leaving the words 'six months pregnant', and he imitated the other party's handwriting and added the word 'certain' to it, so that it became 'confirmed that he was six months pregnant'.

Guo Song changed an envelope, sealed the letter and re-painted it, and handed it to Wang Yue, "Let him continue to deliver the letter!" ”

The advantage of this kind of stealing beams and changing pillars is that the other party cannot check it, and the two sides each take a report route, and finally summarize it into the hands of Li Shi, the son of heaven, so that there is a situation where the two sides have different arguments, which weakens the credibility of Tian Wenxiu's report.

By the time Tian Wenxiu's impeachment report and the daily report of the Hidden Sword Pavilion were delivered to Chang'an, it was already mid-February.

At this time, the situation in Hebei and the Central Plains underwent major changes.

At Li Na's suggestion, Zhu Tao of Youzhou, Wang Wujun of Zhaozhou, and Tian Yue of Weizhou agreed to form an alliance to establish their own countries and jointly fight against the Tang Dynasty.

Li Na took the lead in making trouble, established the state of Qi in Qizhou and proclaimed himself the king of Qi, followed by Tian Yue, established the state of Wei in Weizhou and proclaimed himself the king of Wei, Wang Wujun established the state of Zhao and proclaimed himself the king of Zhao, and Zhu Tao worshiped the sky in Youzhou and established the state of Ji and proclaimed himself the king of Ji.

They all called themselves lonely, built a royal palace, established a court, and opened the curtain of a formal rebellion, and the news quickly spread all over the world, shocking the entire Tang Dynasty and the public.

And at this moment, ** Lie wrote to Li Shi, the Son of Heaven, imploring the Son of Heaven to restore his lord of Nanping County.

The great changes in the situation in Hebei and the Central Plains made Li Shi restless and haggard for several days.

In the imperial study, Li Shi said to Lu Qi and Li Yu tiredly: "I didn't expect ** Lie to be very good at picking time, and he actually wrote at this time, asking me to restore his position as the king of Nanping County, if I remember correctly, he has not withdrawn his troops from Tangzhou, Chuzhou and Anzhou!" He did not abolish the feudal offices he had established. ”

Li Mi bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, this is a typical robbery while the fire is burning, we must not agree to his rude request, before he has not withdrawn his troops from Tang, Chu, and Anzhou, we will never agree to any of his requests, let alone the prince, at this point, the attitude of the imperial court must be tough." ”

Lu Qi shook his head, "Weichen disagrees with Li Xiangguo's opinion, ** Lie must have received an alliance request from the four traitors, but he couldn't find a reason to betray the Tang Dynasty, he wrote to His Majesty at this time, hoping that we could refuse, and he would have an excuse to participate in the rebellion against the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Mi sneered and said, "Lu Xiangguo's idea is too naïve!" **Rebel Tang still needs us to give him a reason? He was testing the attitude of the imperial court. ”

He said to Li Shi again: "Your Majesty, we must not be weak in this matter, we must increase troops to Xiangyang, Weichen suggested that Liu Qia's army can go south to the Huai River to prevent ** Lie from going north to support Li Na, and at the same time order Chen Shaoyou to gather troops in Yangzhou to prevent ** Lie from sneaking up on Yangzhou." ”

Lu Qi sneered and said: "Li Xiangguo himself admits that even if we refuse to be ** Lie, he will also rebel, in this case, what should he do in the court, just rebel directly, do you still need us to be vigilant?" ”

Lu Qi said to Li Shi again: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that ** Lie actually doesn't want to rebel, the four traitors are called kings, but he didn't respond, it can be seen that he is still hesitating, he wants the court to pay the price, compensate for the loss of his rebellion, Wei Chen thinks that at this time we should appease ** Lie, not only to crown him the king of Nanping County, but also to crown him the title of Ping Zhangshi and Prince Shaobao."

In addition, as long as he does not rebel, the imperial court can even subsidize him with some salt taxes, Your Majesty, we must severely punish the rebel feudal towns, but also appropriately reward those feudal towns that have always stood with the imperial court. ”

"Lu Xiangguo, standing with the imperial court has made a lot of festivals, so why don't they have a reward? You are appeasement and compromise, showing weakness to the ambitious, and it is not a good policy! ”

"That's it!"

Li Shi interrupted them unhappily, "I have a headache, don't quarrel, step back first, and let me decide this matter!" ”

The two Xiangguo retired, Li Shi paced back and forth in the study with his hands, he felt that ** Lie's request was not too much, but he just asked for the restoration of the prince, if the least price can be paid to make the southeast peaceful, of course, it is the best result.

Li Shi looked at the map on the wall and sighed, when it is time to give in, it is better to give in appropriately!

In the afternoon, a decree came out from the imperial study, and the world agreed to restore the title of the king of ** Lienanping County, and crowned him as Pingzhangshi and Prince Taibao, but Li Shi did not mention the matter of appropriate compensation for salt tax.
