Chapter 11 The Nineteenth Festival of the Long River Falls on the Sixth Day of the Eighth Month, in the afternoon, Liyang. Li Wei, the chief secretary of Nongqing, was in the dust, and galloped more than 100 miles to Liyang to meet the eldest princess.

Lu Bu welcomed him into the city,

"Where is Your Majesty? Is it safe? ”

"Your Majesty is in the camp of the Northern Army, and he is safe for the time being." Li Wei's expression was solemn, his eyebrows were full of worry, and his voice was slightly hoarse, giving people a strong sense of unease.

Lu Bu's face changed drastically.

"Temporarily unharmed" means that there are many dangers, especially when this sentence comes out of Li Wei's mouth, which shows the sinister situation even more.

"Where is the Northern Army? Has it been stationed in Chang'an City? ”

"Not yet." Lu Bu felt suffocated, he gasped a few times sharply, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Li Wei didn't speak, he was very tired, he didn't rest for two days and one night, and his horse galloped between Chang'an, Fenghao Daying and Liyang, his physical strength had been exhausted to the limit, and his body exuded an unpleasant smell of sweat.

When he was about to arrive at the palace, Lu Bu hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Can Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and other adults ...... this time?"

"No way." Li Wei turned his head to look at Lu Bu, his face was sad,

"You better try to keep yourself, don't forget that you still have a group of brothers, a group of brothers who will fight with you all over the world. You can only keep them if you keep yourself first, and the rest ......" Li Wei waved his hand weakly,

"You have experienced the Luoyang Mutiny and the Chang'an Mutiny, and you should be very aware of the cruelty of the court dispute. Now I'm in a harder situation than you, you know? I can't help you, I'm on your own. Lu Bu's hands trembled slightly, and his heart was extremely sad and angry.

He felt like a caged beast, watching the roaring weapon plunge into his body, but he had no power to resist.

Li Wei's power was very great, and the prime minister took advantage of the plan to attack him, and he immediately dragged the Yanzhou people into the whirlpool of struggle with his color.

The two sides killed each other, but they gave the Northern Xinjiang warriors a chance, a chance to catch them all. The people of Yanzhou can't keep it, and the prime minister can't keep it; Ding Li and Zhu Wei can't be saved, and Li Wei can't be saved.

The Prime Minister and Li Wei both fell, and the eldest princess lost her right-hand man who relied on to support her, and the eldest princess could not be saved.

The development of the situation in the court has become clearer and clearer. The timing of the mutiny was very well grasped by the warriors of Northern Xinjiang, who took advantage of the dissatisfaction of the generals in the army with the court's strategy of appeasement, and took advantage of the fierce contradictions between the various parties in the court because of the endless fighting.

In this way, they can not only get the support of the generals in the army, but also the support of some scholars in the court, who are already obviously at a disadvantage.

Now they threaten their opponents through the army that is ready to attack, and kill their opponents by plotting to assassinate the Son of Heaven, when the two major forces of the prime minister and Li Wei fall, the eldest princess will also face the fate of being banned in the deep palace.

Judging from the current situation, the Prime Minister will not be able to keep it. The reason for the mutiny was the mistake of the imperial court's strategy of appeasement, for which the prime minister would bear direct responsibility.

The Prime Minister fell, and so did the young Yanshi. I have a close relationship with the Qing Yanshi people, and if I don't want to try to get rid of the relationship with the Qing Yanshi people at this moment, I will be implicated.

His own life is nothing, but Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Li Feng and others who have followed him for many years will be implicated.

The trade-off between the two is self-evident. If he wants to be safe, he must desperately protect the eldest princess and prevent the eldest princess from being harmed, so as to wait for the general to come back to save the situation.

"Is there still time?"

"I'm trying to save myself." Li Wei smiled bitterly,

"I hope the general can also protect himself and those brothers who have followed you for many years." He Feng stopped Li Wei outside the hall with a murderous expression.

Tian Yu saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly found an excuse to slip away.

"Hehe......" He Feng gritted his teeth,

"Do you dare to come to Liyang?" Li Weijian raised his eyebrows, was furious, and grabbed He Feng's collar,

"What about your army? Where is your army? Li Wei is taller than He Feng, and he is burly, although he is usually gentle and easy-going, but this next power has a powerful aura, which immediately frightened He Feng.

Although He Feng wanted to tear Li Wei to pieces, he had a weak heart, and if he wanted to get out of the predicament, he still needed to rely on Li Wei.

At this moment, he was yelled at by Li Wei, and immediately thought of the consequences of angering Li Wei, and his courage immediately disappeared. Although he sent troops to Liyang because he was deceived by Li Wei, he couldn't say this, not only did he lose face, but his head was about to fall off.

Li Wei is a great farmer, and he is a mighty general, one is in the court, the other is in the army, and he can't fight together with eight poles.

If you say that this time the troops were forced by Li Wei with the general's warrant, who would believe it? Even if someone believes it, the first person to be beheaded is himself, and he dares to do this kind of thing that violates the law, either rebellious or idiotic, and it is purely a disaster to keep it.

As for Li Wei, he will not admit that he has this warrant from the general in his hand, let alone that he has dispatched troops in violation of the law.

This is a capital crime for him, and he will not say anything even if he is put to death. This thing is a secret, a secret between private people, and whoever says it will be the disaster of the clan.

Now everyone thinks that before leaving Chang'an, the general was worried that something would happen to Chang'an, so he secretly left a warrant for himself to send troops to escort him at a critical moment.

This warrant is a secret agreement between the general and the two of himself, and it is within the general's power.

In other words, even if you misjudge the situation, you will not be killed, and at most you will bear the charge of incompetence.

However, this time, he not only misjudged the situation, but also exacerbated the deterioration of the situation to a certain extent, and put himself in a difficult situation.

What Li Wei said to himself in Chang'an was not wrong, this was the reason why he decisively decided to send troops, but Li Wei only analyzed the superficial things of the mutiny, but deliberately concealed the essence behind the mutiny.

The ultimate goal of Zhang Yan's mutiny was to seize the authority in the hands of the eldest princess, but once Zhang Yan controlled the authority, once he colluded with Yang Biao, Xun You, and Li Wei, did they still need a general?

It is very likely that with the help of the general's warrant and the fact that they sent troops to Liyang, they will put the responsibility for the mutiny and the responsibility of coercing the eldest princess to hand over her authority to the general and themselves.

The general was finally forced out of the desert, and the eldest princess was imprisoned in the deep palace, while she was killed and annihilated. Zhang Yan, Li Wei and others used the excuse of supporting Xiao Tianzi to hold power and do whatever they wanted.

Now Zhang Yan is still in the camp of the Northern Army, but he has rushed to Liyang with his men and horses to confront Lu Bu-for-tat, in fact, a mutiny has been formed.

If Yang Biao, Zhang Yan, Li Wei and others suddenly said that they had launched a mutiny at this moment, the development of the situation would be extremely unfavorable to the eldest princess and the general.

I can only gamble. Since the general handed over the secret order to Li Wei and asked him to decide whether to send troops to protect the eldest princess according to the development of the situation in the court, then Li Wei should be trustworthy.

What to do in the future, I can only listen to him. As for whether it is right or wrong, whether you live or die, you don't care.

If it's wrong, it's also the general's fault, it's the general who is blind and looks at the wrong person. He Feng grabbed Li Wei's collar with his backhand,

"Are you here to frame me? Say? ”

"What are you kidding? When is this time. Li Wei pushed He Feng away and scolded angrily.

He spoke in his hometown, and He Feng couldn't understand a word. But he knew that Li Wei was scolding him, and he was so angry that he was about to pounce again.

"You dare to fool me, Lao Tzu skinned you today......"

"Okay, okay......" Li Wei was weak, and shook his hand again and again,

"What a madman, you must bring the army in, you know? What's the use of you here? It's not enough for people to cut. ”

"I've been fooled and won't be fooled again." He Feng looked around, lowered his voice and said,

"If you dare to be unfavorable to His Highness and the general, Lao Tzu will split you now."

"What did you fall for? What nonsense? Li Wei said,

"If your army doesn't move, can I stop Zhang Yan from sending troops? If your army doesn't reach Liyang, can the southern army be threatened? You don't hand the general's secret order to the eldest princess, can the eldest princess dispel her suspicions about the general? ”

"Zhang Yan didn't send troops?"

"There will be no troops for the time being. Sending troops will intensify the contradictions and will not help solve the problem of the court. And Zhang Yan's purpose is to solve the problem of the court, not to harm the society and ruin the souls, so he will restrain himself at present. Li Wei said in a low voice as he walked,

"Lu Bu can't control the Southern Army. Zhang Yan took advantage of the opportunity of acting as a lieutenant to replace a large number of generals of the Southern Army. Several generals of the Southern Army, Guo Xun, Yang Yi, and Liu are all Zhang Yan's cronies, so don't keep your eyes on Lu Bu, but keep a firm eye on Yang Yi, Guo Xun and others, they are the biggest disaster in Liyang City. In these two days, you have to find a way to pull the army into the city, and don't waste any more time. ”

"How do you know that His Highness is suspicious of the Great General?" He Feng saw Li Wei walking faster and faster, and grabbed him,

"Go slowly, Lao Tzu has to ask clearly, and he can't be fooled again."

"What did you fall for?" Li Wei said angrily,

"That warrant is only known to the general and the three of us, and if the general doesn't believe me, he will give it to me? If I didn't believe you, I would risk being slashed by you to come to you? You should trust me and stop thinking nonsense. After this is over, you will have the absolute trust of the eldest princess and the great general, and the future will be very brilliant. He Feng stared at Li Wei fiercely, and said with a smile: "How can I listen to this coldly, and I feel uncomfortable." Li Wei didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued the topic just now and said: "The general recommended Zhang Yan as the teacher of the Son of Heaven, and won the trust of the Son of Heaven, so there is a crisis of this mutiny, if it were you, would you have no doubt about the general?" But your appearance at this moment, the general's warrant, is enough for the eldest princess to dispel her suspicions and continue to trust the general, which is extremely important for us to solve the crisis. He Feng didn't quite understand, but he didn't want to ask in detail, he just wanted to get himself out of trouble.

"My army can't get in now, you have to find a way for me."

"Begging the eldest princess, keep begging, let the eldest princess feel that danger is close at hand, let her doubt Lu Bu's intentions, doubt the loyalty of the soldiers of the Southern Army, let her worry about the safety of Xiao Tianzi all the time, and let the entire Liyang fall into a bloody panic." Li Wei approached He Feng and said quickly,

"We have to rush for time and solve the problem as quickly as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." He Feng suddenly realized, nodded again and again,

"Zhong Yuan, Lord Zhang Yan won't be unfavorable to the general."

"You don't always have to worry about the General. If the people of the Yellow Turban Department don't have a general, they will die immediately. Li Wei pointed to his nose and said,

"Why aren't you worried about me? Do you know how many knives are on my neck right now? I'm going to die soon, you know? ”

"It's good you're dead." He Feng sneered,

"I hope you are dead." The eldest princess, Prime Minister Cai Yong, Zhongshu supervisor Liu Fang and other ministers breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Li Wei's recital, but everyone knew that a bigger storm was coming.

If Zhang Yan fails to achieve his goal, this crisis will immediately turn from a plot to assassinate the Son of Heaven into a mutiny, and a grim situation will ensue.

The presentation of the assassination of the Son of Heaven was put on the table. The people involved in the case include Xiangyang's special envoys Cai Mao, Wang Lang, Hua Xin, Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Meng Jian, and others, as well as officials of the DPRK and China, Kong Rong, You Heng, and Chen Deng.

At present, there is evidence that some ministers such as Zang Hong, Zhang Miao, and Chen Gong are also involved in this case, and the great Sima Xu Rong has ordered the Tingwei Mansion to combine the two cases for trial.

Imperial historian Liu He Shangjuan, considering that he was a native of Qingzhou and had a close relationship with ministers such as Kong Rong and You Heng, took the initiative to ask for recusal and recommended the old minister Sima Fang to temporarily lead the imperial history platform.

Ting Weiqing Xian Yufu and Ting Weicheng Chen Hao played and reported the interrogation in detail. Zhishu Yushi Xi thought about playing, impeached Kong Rong, You Heng and other ministers, and begged the eldest princess to immediately issue an order to detain all the ministers involved.

In order to stabilize the prefectures and counties, they requested the replacement of 14 county officials and ministers who were closely related to the ministers involved, and asked these outgoing officials to return to Beijing immediately.

Prime Minister Cai Yong has a close relationship with many of the ministers involved, and implores the eldest princess to issue an edict, asking the prime minister to recuse himself temporarily, and the affairs of the prime minister's mansion are temporarily represented by the old minister Zhou Zhong.

General Zuowei, Wei Wei Lu Bu and many ministers involved in the case have a close relationship, and are no longer suitable to supervise the southern army, so it is recommended that the eldest princess issue an order to immediately order her to recuse herself, hand over the military power, and recommend the right general Yang Feng to temporarily supervise the southern army to guard the palace.

Da Sima Xu Rong played alone. Proceeding from stabilizing the current situation, the minister suggested that His Royal Highness should not issue an order to send troops and horses into Beijing when the northern army was not dispatched, so as not to repeat the disaster of Dong Zhuo's chaos in the past.

"Is General Zhao Yun still supervising the Northern Army?" The eldest princess was silent for a long time and asked in a low voice.

"Lord Zhao's situation, His Highness should be clear." Li Wei smiled bitterly,

"If Your Majesty forcibly orders Lord Zhao to send troops, Lord Zhao will bear the responsibility of initiating a mutiny." Li Wei looked at Cai Yong, who was sitting on the side with an angry expression, and shook his head,

"The Prime Minister must make a choice, either take the initiative to admit that the imperial court has made a major mistake in the appeasement strategy and bear all the blame, or Lord Zhao will ......" Li Wei paused and sighed softly,

"If something happens to Lord Zhao, after the general returns, the problem will become complicated, and Zhang Yan and others may take the opportunity to seize power, causing the situation to develop in an even worse direction."

"Now the Great Han is my ruler, not the Son of Heaven......" The eldest princess was a little annoyed and angry.

"If the prime minister refuses to bear the responsibility, he may be involved in the assassination of the Son of Heaven, and he will immediately be suspected of holding His Highness hostage. In this way, the authority in the hands of His Royal Highness will be gone, and the little emperor will govern with the assistance of the Minister of Gu Ming. At that time, Lord Zhao Yun was detained, and Zhang Yan's command of the Northern Army was not a mutiny, but a counterinsurgency, a rescue for His Highness, and a righteous act. ”

"How can this be reasonable...... Cai Yong sighed miserably,

"Is there any heavenly principle in this world?" Wei said,

"As long as the prime minister plays the Son of Heaven, saying that he was deceived by ** Yu in the strategy of appeasement, and almost fell into the disaster of overturning the society, and the responsibility is heavy, and he takes the initiative to accept the guilt and resign, then the mutiny will not happen, and the court will quickly restore stability, Chang'an is just an attempted assassination of the Son of Heaven."

"Zhong Yuan, tell me the truth, is His Majesty's assassination in Weiqiao true or false? Did Kong Rong, You Heng and others participate in the assassination? Cai Yong said excitedly,

"You tell me that as long as you tell me the truth, I will immediately resign as prime minister. Even if I die, I will die clearly. ”

"Your Majesty was indeed assassinated in Weiqiao." Li Wei said without hesitation,

The disappearance of Xiangyang's envoys Xu Shu, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian shows that the rebels did plan the assassination of the Son of Heaven. When His Majesty arrived in Chang'an, only the ministers of the DPRK and China know, so there must have been ministers in the DPRK and China who participated in the assassination. What is the purpose of assassinating the Son of Heaven, I believe you know better than me. The only heir of the first emperor was suddenly killed, what will happen to Chang'an? Chang'an will collapse. We will not be able to rebuild the imperial system for a while, the world will spread rumors that the great generals will kill the king, the states and counties will betray, the army will betray, the counterinsurgency will be far away, the great cause of Zhongxing will suffer heavy losses, the situation of confrontation between the north and the south will inevitably become a reality, and the Han will be divided, and may even be overturned. ”

"The rebels come to negotiate peace, which is a conspiracy in itself. Many ministers repeatedly wrote to warn them, but His Highness and the Prime Minister did not listen to them at all. Li Wei was heartbroken,

"Why do Your Highness and the Prime Minister insist on going their own way? Why? We all know the reason, and this is also an important reason for the crisis that broke out in the court today. ”

"The court has been hit hard by this, and it will take some time to recover, and the counterinsurgency campaign will have to be postponed." Li Wei said hatefully,

"The rebels' plan has succeeded, they have won a respite, the imperial court will pay a heavy price for it, and the great cause of Zhongxing will suffer a serious setback, isn't this crime big enough?" Cai Yong smiled bitterly.

"Okay, Zhong Yuan said it well, I am indeed guilty, I will resign, but I will wait until the general comes back."

"This crisis has exposed a problem that we have been worried about for many years, and that is the erosion and control of the government by the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army. In the past, Zhang Yan and the others had been hiding behind the general and hid deeply, but this time the general was gone, and they immediately jumped out. If nothing else, they will try to coerce His Highness to hand over power on the condition of His Majesty's life before the return of the Great General, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of controlling the government. ”

"This problem must be solved, and it is better to solve it once and for all at once with the help of this crisis, otherwise there will be endless troubles." Cai Yong sighed,

"Just imagine, if the authority is controlled by Zhang Yan and other ministers from the Yellow Turban, the eldest princess and the great general will be hollowed out, and the battle in the court will be even bloodier and more tragic." Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and then pointed out the hall, looking a little helpless,

"Prime Minister, please look at the current Southern Army, look at Huben and Yulin, how many soldiers are born in the Yellow Turban? Look at the court again, look at the army, how many ministers and generals from the yellow turbans are there? Settle? How to fix it? Aren't you the enemy of the whole court and the whole army? Prime Minister, the reason why the Han has been able to get to this point today is that these people from the Yellow Turban have made great contributions, they have no threat to the Han, they are the pillars of the Han's prosperity. What the imperial court has to solve now is not a question of origin, not a problem of factions, but a problem of Zhongxing strategy. The faces of the eldest princess and Cai Yong immediately became ugly.

Li Wei's words have already indicated his own position, and it can also be said that he represents the thoughts of most of the ministers of the Chang'an court.

Although the mutiny has not happened now, the reason for the mutiny is still there, and the mutiny can happen at any time.

In order to quickly alleviate the crisis and completely eliminate the possibility of a mutiny, it is imperative to eradicate this cause, that is, to revise ZTE's strategy.

To put it bluntly, it is to reduce and restrict the authority in the hands of the eldest princess. Although Cai Yong deliberately shifted the focus of the conflict to the Yellow Turban forces, trying to let the ministers of the DPRK and China clash with Zhang Yan and other Yellow Turban forces for the safety of the Son of Heaven, so as to delay time and wait for the general to come back to deal with the crisis.

But the ministers of the court were obviously unwilling to do so, and they couldn't wait to seize as much power as possible from the eldest princess before the general returned.

At the request of the ministers, the eldest princess issued a series of holy decrees, but the eldest princess was unwilling to let Yang Feng go to Liyang, which meant that the lives of the Son of Heaven and herself were handed over to the ministers of the Yellow Turban Department, which was equivalent to giving up all the authority.

The eldest princess did not give an order for Lu Bu to avoid it. Lu Bu has already sworn and said that she would rather hand over her head than the palace, what else can she do?

Thinking of Lu Bu's loyalty to her younger brother Emperor Xiaoxian in the past, the eldest princess regained her trust in him, but she was extremely jealous of Lu Bu's men.

She made an appointment with Lu Bu again, explained the situation in Chang'an in detail, and asked him to think about whether to let He Feng bring a part of the army into the city to defend the palace, but Lu Bu still refused, and there was no room for negotiation.

The eldest princess was so angry that tears rained down. She thought of the general, if the general was still in Chang'an, Lu Bu dared to say half

The word "no"? Zhang Yan and others still dare to force themselves unscrupulously? But it's too late to say anything now. Li Wei got into the carriage.

He was so tired, and after returning to Chang'an, it was an all-night meeting, and he wanted to sleep on the way back.

The carriage stopped before it could leave the palace. Xiao Lan opened the car door, jumped into the carriage, hugged Li Wei, and cried bitterly.

Li Wei sighed, gently stroked Xiao Lan's back, and whispered, "My body is too dirty, it already stinks." Xiao Lan hugged her tighter,

"Can you hold on?"

"I can still hold on." Li Wei smiled,

"Back then, you abandoned your glory and wealth, walked thousands of miles with me to the western frontier, and endured all the hardships, what is my suffering?"

"You can't get out, why are you so stupid that you have to come out like this?" Xiao Lan sobbed in a low voice and choked up.

"If I don't come out, Ding Li and Zhu Wei will die." Li Wei said bitterly,

"The Prime Minister has fallen, and it will be my turn next. It will be some time before the generals return, and they have enough time to put me to death. The Prime Minister and I have fallen, who else will protect the eldest princess? The eldest princess fell, the general controlled the government, and the Han reenacted the scene of Dong Zhuo in charge. The warriors and warriors in Northern Xinjiang were completely opposed, and there was no buffer force in the middle. When the contradictions between the two sides broke out, that is, the day of the defeat of Sheji, and the life of the general was in jeopardy. ”

"I want to save myself first. In the past few years, I have been too sharp and have too many enemies. ”

"Before the Luoyang War, the court already felt the crisis of the northern Xinjiang warriors about to enter the court. If the warriors of Northern Xinjiang enter the dynasty, the adjustment of Zhongxing's strategy is inevitable, and it will definitely not be conducive to the interests of the gate lord clan. In order to prevent this from happening, it is first necessary to crack down on the people of northern Xinjiang and split the forces in northern Xinjiang. The Prime Minister and some foreign ministers persuaded the eldest princess to use the proposal of increasing troops and moving the capital to make a false impression that the eldest princess had to revise the official system, which to a certain extent played a good cover role for the eldest princess and me to deceive the general into agreeing to revise the official system. The official system was revised, the decision-making power was also concentrated in the Zhongshu Supervisor, and the warriors and scholars in Northern Xinjiang were also divided. ”

"The eldest princess played a decisive role in the division of the forces in the northern frontier, but the general did not know it. Although I knew that this was a trap, I had to jump because I was powerless to stop the eldest princess, nor to prevent the division of the people of Northern Xinjiang, let alone to prevent the accumulation of various contradictions in the process of advancing the great cause of Zhongxing. Taking a step back, even if I told the general about the consequences of revising the official system, what method would the general have to solve the problem of increasing troops and moving the capital? Do you use a knife? I offended the general and the warriors of Northern Xinjiang because of this. At the same time, because I partially controlled the middle secretary, I also had a conflict with the eldest princess, but the eldest princess covered it up very well, so that everyone in the court felt that I was in control of the government. I didn't dare to serve as the supervisor of the middle book, because I was afraid that I would be on the cusp of the storm and completely break with the general. ”

"Luckily, a general is a general after all, and he still believes in me. But at this moment, Luoyang has been defeated, the pace of martial artists entering the dynasty is getting faster and faster, and the conflict in Zhongxing's strategy is becoming more and more intense every time. ”

The eldest princess and the prime minister immediately decided to take action, and their strategy was very simple, to plunge the court into chaos, to put the great cause of Zhongxing into crisis, to force the general to surrender his military power, and to delay the pace of the warriors entering the court. However, the general retreated into advance, and gave up part of the military power in exchange for the entry of the warriors into the court, which angered the eldest princess and the prime minister, who made a wrong choice and fell into the trap of the Xiangyang people. ”

"The court was in chaos, the court made a wrong decision, and the great cause of Zhongxing quickly fell into crisis, and the Yellow Turban Department finally couldn't help but launch a military admonition. But have you noticed that it is impossible to launch a military admonition by relying on a yellow turban alone, which has the acquiescence and connivance of the general, and the help of Taifu Yang Biao and Taiwei Xun You. ”

"The general is too far away from Chang'an, and when he comes back, Zhang Yan will quickly control the government with the help of Yang Biao and Xun You, and the eldest princess and the general will be set aside. I, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu will all be killed, the people of Northern Xinjiang will suffer heavy losses, the warriors of Northern Xinjiang will kill each other, and in the end, it will be very good if the general can keep the three states of Hebei. ”

"Taifu Yang Biao is an old minister of the Xiaoling Emperor Dynasty, he has experienced the disaster of the party, the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Luoyang Mutiny and the two Chang'an Mutinies, with his rich political experience and outstanding intelligence, it is not easy to take advantage of this rare opportunity to control the overall situation? He also has many helpers who have rich political experience like him, such as Taiwei Xun You, Guanglu Doctor Zhong Xuan, old ministers Yang Qi, Xu Shao, Sima Fang, Zhou Zhong, Zhang Xi and so on. The strength of these Guan Luo and Ying Rushi people is too strong, and the young Yanshi led by Prime Minister Cai Yong and the older generation of scholars in Northern Xinjiang led by Taichang Guo Ce cannot be compared with them at all, whether it is political experience or ability to deal with court crises. ”

"When I heard that Zhang Yan had entered the camp of the Northern Army with the Son of Heaven, I was very frightened, and my first thought was that I was going to die." Li Wei's hands kept shaking.

Xiao Lan hugged him, deeply feeling the intense fear that welled up from the bottom of his heart.

"I want to save myself, but I need troops to save myself. When I saw Zhao Neng, I thought of Zilong, who was in danger, He Feng, and that warrant. Back then, when the general gave me this warrant outside Jinyang City, I knew a secret from the general. Whenever he was not in Jinyang, there must be someone holding the general's warrant for troop transfer. It should be Xianyufu-sama before me, so who should be after me? ”

"Zitai?" Xiao Lan said without thinking.

"Yes, it must be Tian Chou, he must have the secret order of the general in his hand. In the past, the general needed to protect the eldest princess, but now, he wants to protect the little Son of Heaven, so the person who protects the Son of Heaven must be Zitai. In other words, Zhang Yan and Yang Feng actually did not control the Northern Army at all. As long as Zitai took out the general's secret order, Zhang Yan and Yang Feng would be dead. ”

"You mean, the person who started this mutiny was the Great General?" Xiao Lan sat up straight, and her face turned pale in an instant.

"Yes, yes......" Li Wei was sweating profusely, and his eyes became extremely confused,

"The general has struck. Before leaving, the general inspected all parts of Guanzhong, that is to say, Zhang Baiqi, Liang Baiwu, Pang De, Wei Jun, Hua Xiong, Li Yun, Zi Shu and others all saw this secret order, as long as Zhang Yan ordered the transfer of troops, as long as the eldest princess ordered the transfer of troops, they would be dead. ”

"Eldest princess?" Shinoran's eyes widened in disbelief, and her lips kept chattering.

"Mobilizing troops at this moment is to rebel, to kill the king, to disrupt the country, whoever transfers troops will kill whom, there is nothing wrong with this, the general has always been like this." Li Wei suddenly laughed nervously,

"The general still believed me, told me this secret, and made me desperate."

"You've transferred troops, you've transferred troops......" Xiaolan's tears suddenly rolled out,

"You let Madman He go to Liyang ......"

"I asked, before the general left, he didn't summon He Madman, He Crazy didn't know this secret order at all, haha......" Li Wei hugged Xiao Lan quite excitedly and kissed her fiercely on the face,

"I saved the big Han, I saved Sheji, I saved the idiots in the entire Chang'an City, I saved the eldest princess, I want to be the prime minister......" Xiao Lan was frightened, pulled Li Wei's beard hard, and slapped him several times in the face,

"What's wrong with you? What happened to you? Don't scare me...... Don't talk nonsense......"

"At the beginning of the year, the general said to me, you should be prime minister. I was frightened, scared out of a cold sweat, I thought I had offended the general, and I thought about it at home for several days, but I just couldn't remember, I didn't offend the general? Now I know that he wants to rectify the court, kill those who should be killed, rush those who should be rushed, pave the way for me, and make me prime minister. Li Wei excitedly kissed Xiao Lan on the face again,

"I'm really going to be prime minister, not a dream." Xiao Lan looked at him in surprise,

"Don't you have a long life? You were still saying just now that Lord Yang Biao and Lord Xun You are strong, and this prime minister can't do it in your turn. Even if you become prime minister, the days you live in this world are numbered. ”

"Won't I do it?" Li Wei sighed bitterly,

"Who dares to disobey what the general said?"

"I persuaded He Feng to transfer him to Liyang, forming a de facto mutiny, forcing all parties in the court to quickly adjust their strategies. Zhang Yan didn't dare to move, and wanted to take advantage of the situation. Yang Biao, Xun You and others didn't dare to move, they didn't expect the general to give me the right to transfer troops. In other words, the general may have a more powerful backmove, and they are worried that they have made a bird, and they cut off a piece of the general, and immediately retract their heads. The situation is now under my control.
