On the fourth day after Lu Ben left, Zhang Guangsheng also arrived in Yongxian County with his entourage.

Zhang Guangsheng didn't want to take this errand, he felt guilty in his heart, and he had no shame to come to see his former colleagues, but Zhu Jun's death order was pressed here, and he had to come again.

Hearing that Zhang Guangsheng was coming, Guo Song personally came to greet him at the gate of the barracks.

"Zhang Dudu, long time no see!"

Guo Song still regarded him as the governor of Liangzhou, which made Zhang Guangsheng feel a little better.

"It's hard to say, I came to discuss with my brother on the order of the new emperor, and my brother doesn't object!"

Guo Song smiled and nodded, "How can you object?" Zhang Du Governor, please! ”

Guo Song invited Zhang Guangsheng into the lobby, the two sides sat down, and a personal soldier served them tea.

Guo Song saw that Zhang Guangsheng was a little hesitant, so he smiled and said: "Zhang Dudu doesn't have to worry, of course I know why you came, and I welcome you from the bottom of my heart, everyone is for their own interests, I, Guo Song, have never been a foolish and loyal person, let alone a hypocrite or a defender, my first consideration is interests, otherwise I wouldn't be waiting for Zhang Dudu here." ”

Zhang Guangsheng nodded, "Okay! Then let's get straight to the point, don't talk about so many twists and turns, Taiwei Zhu hopes that you can accept the canonization of Chang'an, and then the army will return to Hexi, under this premise, we will talk about the specific conditions. ”

Guo Song shook his head, "I can lead the army back to Hexi, but I will not accept any canonization from Chang'an, at least not for now, if Taiwei Zhu can destroy the imperial court in Chengdu and unify the world, maybe I will consider accepting it." ”

Guo Song's attitude was expected by Zhang Guangsheng, but Guo Song did not refuse, let him go back and explain, he muttered: "Can I understand it this way, you can accept the canonization of Chang'an, but the premise is that the imperial court in Chengdu perishes." ”

"It can be said that if Zhang Dudu feels that it is not easy to make a difference, then it is understood that I will not accept it for the time being, and I will talk about it later, the bird chooses a good tree to perch, I hope that Taiwei Zhu can become such a good tree."

Zhang Guangsheng nodded, "I understand, then Guo Yuanjun has other conditions, such as military salaries and the like?" ”

Guo Song smiled slightly: "This time, the Jingyuan army has been annihilated and a lot of wealth has been obtained, so there is no need for Chang'an to solve the military situation for me for the time being, but I hope that Taiwei Zhu will not restrict wine and other trade in Hexi." ”

"Guo Yuanjun's conditions are so simple?" Zhang Guangsheng was a little stunned.

"In fact, I have only one condition, that is, not to restrict trade in Hexi, and then I will close the door and guard the frontier, and the battle between Chang'an and Chengdu has nothing to do with me."

Zhang Guangsheng sighed secretly, in fact, Guo Song still chose to wait and see.

"I know, I'll go back and report to the captain truthfully."

Guo Song said again: "There is one more thing I need to remind Taiwei Zhu, Longyou's troops must not be empty, once Tubo seizes the opportunity, they will not hesitate to swallow Longyou, and Guanzhong will be in danger." ”

Zhang Guangsheng nodded silently, got up and said: "The conditions proposed by Guo Envoy Jun should be able to be done, as a special envoy, I can agree first, and I believe that Taiwei Zhu will also gladly accept it." ”

Guo Song smiled and said: "He will accept it, if he refuses to accept it, I will often come to Guanzhong as a guest, but whether he likes it or not, I will come uninvited, I believe he knows this better than me." ”

..........

Zhang Guangsheng left, Guo Song also reorganized his soldiers and horses, bid farewell to Yin Li Shuguang of Fengxiang Mansion, led the army to leave Fengxiang Mansion, and rode away to Hexi with loot.

Three days later, Zhang Guangsheng also returned to Chang'an and immediately rushed to Xingqing Palace to report to Zhu Jun.

"Interesting, you actually want me to be a good wood, of course I want to unify the world, who doesn't want to be such a good wood?"

Zhu Jun smiled, and after listening to Zhang Guangsheng's report, he turned back to Yuan Xiu, who was standing next to him, and asked: "Xiangguo thinks he is sincere?" ”

Yuan Xiu smiled slightly: "The humble position feels that his promise is still credible, this decision should be the most beneficial to him, he asked Chengdu to be famous, asked us to profit, this is called fame and fortune, compared to Cui Kuan to accept our canonization, the humble position feels that Guo Song is a little more clever, he is actually sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, who wins in the end, who is loyal to whom." ”

Yao Lingyan also said: "The humble post also feels that Guo Song is gradually moving towards the feudal town, he will no longer work for Li Shi, as long as we can ensure his interests, then we have no worries for the time being, we can concentrate on expanding our forces, and the humble position suggests that the four territories of Guanzhong, Longyou, Guannei, and Shuofang are firmly controlled, and then we will expand to the Central Plains and seize Li Shi's power in the Central Plains." ”

Zhu Jun took a few steps and said to everyone: "I received a letter from Zhu Tao yesterday, he suggested that I fight for the three towns of Hebei and Li Na and ** Lie, his implication is to give power to the five families again, and then strive for them to accept the canonization of Chang'an, what do you think?" ”

Yuan Xiu applauded and said: "This letter is too timely, Your Highness can immediately send someone to the five families to deliver the letter, and ask them to send an envoy to Chang'an to discuss the overall situation." ”

Zhu Jun laughed, he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Zhu Jun immediately agreed to Guo Song's conditions, and in order to win over Guo Song, he specially ordered that in order to save grain, it was strictly forbidden to use grain to make wine, and restaurants in various states and counties were only allowed to sell fruit wine.

At the same time, Zhu Zhu sent envoys to Hebei, the Central Plains, and Jianghuai, and asked the five major feudal towns to send envoys to Beijing to discuss the overall situation.

..........

The largest Yangxin Hall in the Chengdu Palace was renamed the Qinzheng Palace, which became the place where the imperial court held court meetings, and although the arrow wound in Li Shi's back had not yet healed, he could no longer lie down.

All kinds of problems that are difficult to solve are piled up, such as the problem of food, taxation, officials, officials, families, etc., and of course, the number one problem of recovering Chang'an.

In particular, the Chang'an court announced tax cuts and tax reductions, confiscated the manor land and confiscated houses in the Guanlong area, and distributed them to soldiers, landless peasants and young houseless officials, which has won great popular and military support, so that the entire Guanlong region except Hexi, all prefectures and counties have expressed their allegiance to the Chang'an court.

On the one hand, the people in Bashu asked to follow Chang'an to reduce taxes and taxes, and the voices of appeals came one after another, on the other hand, the wealthy and powerful people who fled to Chengdu stomped their feet and scolded, and their land and real estate were divided, which undoubtedly infringed on their core interests.

Therefore, the call for a counterattack on Chang'an in the imperial court is getting louder and louder, and the reason is that these wealthy and powerful people are behind the scenes.

A small-scale court meeting is being held in the Qinzheng Palace, which is limited to the participation of court officials above the third grade, Li Shi has re-restored the multi-phase system under the strong request of everyone, and set up the left and right ministers and three deputy ministers, Xiao Fu, the secretary of the ministry, replaced Lu Qi and served as the right minister, Jiang Gongfu was the left minister, Lu Qi was demoted to the deputy minister, and there were also Liu Congyi, the head of the household department, and the new secretary of the military department was isolated in the autumn, and the five people formed a new political hall.

In addition to the five foreign ministers, there are Jingzhao Yin Wang Hong, University Scholar Lu Zhen, Ministry of Rites Shangshu Xue Xun, Ministry of Industry Shangshu Guo Shu, Military Department Shilang Wei Gao, Jiannan Jiedu Envoy Du Xiquan and several generals, Hun Xuan, Li Sheng, Li Guan, Zhang Xiaozhong and so on.

Li Shi slowly said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, my injuries are still relatively serious, I can only stay in bed, and it is difficult to even lift a pen, but all kinds of crises are piled up, and many crises are imminent, and I am not allowed to recuperate and heal, and I can't do both, so I thought twice and decided to canonize King Shu as the prison country and share my worries, what do you think?" ”

The canonization of the Son of Heaven Li Shi has deeper intentions, the crown prince Li Yu illegally ascended the throne in Taiyuan, maybe he was coerced, but his behavior is extremely bad, the impact is too bad, Li Shi has issued an edict announcing the abolition of the crown prince Li Shi, this decision has been unanimously supported by civil and military officials, so who will the new crown prince be?

Now the Son of Heaven has decided to canonize Li Yi, the king of Shu, as the prison country, and his intention is self-evident, although Li Yi is the son of Li Miao, the king of Qi, but his house is benevolent and more enlightened, he is the prison country, and everyone has no opinion.

At this time, Lu Qi got up and said: "Your Majesty, the current cumbersome court affairs are not very much, but there are many major military affairs, although King Shu has outstanding ability, he is still too young, he is the prison of the country, I am afraid it is difficult to make correct decisions on various military affairs, the court still needs Your Majesty to preside over the overall situation, please think twice." ”

Of course, Lu Qi wanted to oppose Li Yi, the king of Shu, and in the process of retreating south, Li Yi unabashedly showed great dissatisfaction with him, which made Lu Qi very worried, once Li Yi took power, he would definitely be the first to clean himself up.

Li Shi pulled the pain in his back when he spoke, and he waved his hand impatiently, "I have already decided on this matter." ”

Jingzhao Yin Wang Hong still wanted to help Lu Qi, but the Son of Heaven said so, he had to continue to be silent, Lu Qi touched a nail, and he had no choice but to sit down.
