Chapter 419: Fierce Fight

Wang Pu crossed the line and provoked a beating from Fan Zhen, and Li Zhongyi, the target of the attack, stayed out of the matter.

When Yang Jiong saw this situation, he couldn't help but sigh again and again in secret, what a deep Li Wuyi!

Li Zhongyi was still engrossed in admiring the tea in the cup, and he always turned a deaf ear to the big movements in the chamber.

When is this?

Li Zhongyi did not have the idea of fighting for power and profit with the ministers at all. He has a thought now, whoever dares to touch him to control the military power of Yulin's right guard will be his mortal enemy!

It is no exaggeration to say that even if he takes the means of assassination, he will rack his brains to kill that guy.

Chai Rong has already gone on the Northern Expedition, and in addition to military power, Li Zhongyi has no interest in administration, personnel and other aspects of government affairs, so to speak!

Don't look at the civil servants who are having fun now, it's really time to change the dynasty, and it is destined to be the gun's final say!

In the history books, it is clearly written: Zhao Lao Er, with the close cooperation of Shi Shouxin and others, slaughtered Han Tong's entire family, and then forced all the Zai Zhi to support Zhao Lao Er as the emperor with knives and guns!

The emperor, the strong soldier and the strong horse!

In the entire history of the five dynasties, the emperors of various countries have been exchanged like marquees, which has long proved the above truth!

"Well, what Envoy Yang said makes some sense." After Fan Zhen easily took back the dominant position, he stroked Chang [ beard, and said lightly, "Although Shu is rich, there is nothing to worry about. Lin Renzhao, a famous general in the Southern Tang Dynasty, raised 80,000 troops and had already broken through Yingzhou, which was the trouble of his henchmen. ”

Li Zhongyi put down the tea cup in his hand, he thought to himself, Jiang is still old and spicy after all. Fan Zhen is worthy of being the prime minister who has dominated the government for many years, and he has seen through the biggest crisis at the moment with extraordinary soberness.

Lin Renzhao. He is currently the Qinghuai Army Festival Envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he is the first general of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

It was this Lin Renzhao. He has been frequently writing to Li Jing, the lord of the Tang Dynasty, and strongly advocated finding the right time to make a northern expedition to the Great Zhou and recover the Southern Tang homeland in the thirteen states of Jianghuai.

In five days, in just five days, the 80,000 elite troops of the Southern Tang Dynasty led by Lin Renzhao had already broken through Yingzhou, an important southern town in the Great Zhou.

Lin Renzhao's city-breaking speed, before the siege equipment was not greatly developed, was simply outrageously fast!

"Li participates in politics, His Majesty has always praised you. He knows a lot about soldiers. Nowadays, the country is under enemy on three sides, I don't know what Li thinks about participating in politics? Fan Zhen's gaze swept over Li Zhongyi's body, and finally, he fell outside the door of the conference hall.

Yang Jiong nodded secretly, Enxiang deserves to be Enxiang, as long as he makes a move, he will force Li Zhongyi to have no way out.

Fan Zhen opened his mouth and brought Chai Rong out. Before Li Zhongyi finished listening to his words, he already knew in his heart that he had to speak.

"Fan Xianggong, all the ministers, cardinal envoys. The soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty came to attack, and Lin Huzi was a famous general, which should not be underestimated. I thought it was under that. The imperial court must send a tiger general to lead the troops to break it. Li Zhongyi slowly and methodically came up with his opinion.

Yang Jiong rolled his eyes. Looking at Li Zhongyi's back, hehe. It is true that this Li is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and his proposal is extremely correct, but it is also innocuous nonsense.

Now, the imperial court is under attack on three sides, and fools know that they must send generals to lead the elite south to resist the enemy.

The question is, who to send?

Most of the famous tiger generals in the DPRK followed Chai Rong's Northern Expedition, and far water could not quench their thirst.

The people who stayed in the capital were second to none and were Li Zhongyi, a famous general. followed by Han Tong, followed by Shi Shouxin and Murong Yanzhao.

If Li Zhongyi, who is in the class of the ruler, is sent to the battle, who else is the commander of the army? Whether it's Han Tong or Shi Shouxin, at best, he can only be a deputy marshal.

Lin Renzhao of the Southern Tang Dynasty had 80,000 elite soldiers, and after winning Yingzhou, his military strength would definitely expand even more.

In the face of such a strong enemy, even if the Great Zhou State is poor, it will have to send at least 80,000 troops.

Since his accession to the throne, as long as it involves the conquest of heavy dà, it has always been a royal conquest.

Yang Jiong sighed secretly, what he was most worried about today was that the military power would fall and be gathered in the hands of a certain heavy general.

In the past six years, the generals who accompanied His Majesty on the expedition have at most more than 30,000 forbidden troops. Chai Rong's most trusted confidant, Han Tong, is nominally the supreme commander of the more than 100,000 forbidden troops of the Guards and Pro-Military Division, but in fact, there are less than 40,000 soldiers and horses that can really be mastered.

Now, with a sudden entrusting of nearly 100,000 heavy troops to one person, how can Chai Rong feel at ease? How dare Fan Zhen be this master?

Wei Renpu narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Zhongyi carefully, he knew very well in his heart that since Li Zhongyi had mentioned that the imperial court had sent heavy generals to meet the enemy, he obviously did not want to be the commander of the army in order to avoid suspicions.

Those who know the times are Junjie, and in Wei Renpu's opinion, Li Zhongyi's behavior of taking the initiative to take himself out is extremely wise.

The commander of the army, which is close to 100,000 soldiers and horses, is majestic and indispensable. In fact, it is already sitting on the top of the dangerous building, and it may occur anytime and anywhere, and the building will collapse and the people will be wiped out.

Fan Zhen glanced at Li Zhongyi, and asked Wang Pu lightly: "The Privy Council is in charge of the army, and the cardinal envoy Wang must have a good plan?" ”

Li Zhongyi secretly applauded, Wang Pu wanted to provoke the infighting in the political hall, Fan Zhen's heart must be unhappy, no, the account in June has to be really fast!

The corners of Wei Renpu's mouth showed a mocking smile, and it was precisely because of the bad habit of liking to seize power that Chai Rong demoted Wang Pu to the Privy Council.

The so-called country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, after Wang Pu arrived in the Privy Council, he still likes to seize power. As a result, several privy deputy envoys had very big opinions on this Wang Qiwu.

Li Zhongyi entered the political hall very late, and he may not know the inside story of Wang Pu's demotion

Wei Renpu is the old prime minister, and he knows very well in his heart that in the process of Wang Pu's demotion of the prime minister, Prime Minister Fan played a vital role.

There is only a one-word difference between the prime minister and the prime minister, power and status, but there is a world of difference!

Wang Pu hesitated, hesitated for a while, and in the face of Fan Zhijiong's blazing gaze and everyone's silent urging, he had to swallow his saliva dryly, and said cautiously: "Why don't you ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to personally lead the army to meet the enemy?" ”

Ridiculous! Wei Renpu rolled his eyes silently, and let the seven-year-old baby lead the troops to fight, but he Wang Pu could think of it?

However, Wei Renpu thought about it carefully, but suddenly realized that Wang Pu's construction seemed absurd, but in fact, it was extremely reasonable.

Now that he is not in the capital, the prince has been authorized to supervise the country, which is justified.

The crown prince is still young, and even if he leads the army to fight, it is just a name, and it is impossible to increase the power of the army and endanger the current throne.

Li Zhongyi also felt that if he hadn't seen through Chai Rong's thoughts, Wang Pu would never have come up with such a clever "rancid" idea.

After many years of officialdom, Li Zhongyi has an extremely important truth: the more critical the moment, the less valuable the so-called right and wrong, and the correctness of politics is the most important magic weapon to protect the family and maintain power.

Wang Pu's construction not only reassured Chai Rong, but also curried favor with the crown prince Chai Zongxun, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

However, in Li Zhongyi's view, Wang Pu's statement is also very obvious: Chai Zongxun, the crown prince, is only seven years old, if he dies on the way, who would dare to bear this kind of responsibility for the collapse of the sky? (To be continued......) R1292
