Li Longji couldn't wait to ask, "What is the method?" ”

"Linzi Wang Fa didn't find out that after the Tanglong coup, you have repeatedly been at a disadvantage, because Your Majesty and Cui Geng have joined forces."

"You've said it eight hundred times before, isn't that nonsense?" Wang Ju interjected impatiently.

Zheng shook his head and said, "It's not nonsense. Everyone, please think about it, now that the crown prince is weak, His Majesty and Cui Geng are bound to look like each other. But if the crown prince wants to expand his power, they will inevitably join forces again. Therefore, it is difficult for the prince to regain power.

Li Longji seemed to realize something vaguely, and said in a deep voice: "Go on." ”

Zheng Dao: "What if there is one less constraint? For example...... Cui Geng went out? ”

"Isn't that a return to the mountains?"

"No, no." Zheng shook his head and said: "As long as Empress Wei is in our hands, even if Cui Geng returns to Weizhou, he will not dare to raise troops and make trouble, and he will not be able to let the tiger return to the mountain." What's more, why should we let Cui Geng go back to Weizhou? ”

Li Longji muttered: "If Cui Geng doesn't return to Weizhou, it's not impossible...... However, if he is not allowed to return to Weizhou, where should he go? ”

"Jiannan Dao!"

"Why Jiannan Dao?"

Zheng Dao: "At the beginning, Emperor Gaozu once intended to pass on the throne to Taizong, and once said to Emperor Taizong that he was the crown prince and Jiancheng was the king of Shu. And told Emperor Taizong that if he was stable, he would be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life. If it is unstable, it will not be a big trouble. I don't know this allusion, has the King of Linzi heard of it? ”

"Of course I've heard of it. Shu is a trapped dragon's situation, and the road in and out is extremely difficult. As long as you take the road outside, no matter how talented you are, you can only sit in Shuzhong. ”

"That's right, the prince can send Cui Geng to Jiannan Dao. In this case, he will not be able to help His Majesty, and he will not be able to exert any influence on Wei Zhou, which can be called killing two birds with one stone. ”

"But ......" Li Longji still hesitated a little, and said, "Our plan is quite good, can my father agree to this matter?" Is Cui Geng willing to go to Jiannan Road again? ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, now that Your Majesty is safe, Cui Geng's entry into the South Sword Dao will benefit him and will not do him any harm, and he will never object. As for Cui Geng himself......"

As he spoke, Zheng took out an official document from his sleeve pocket and said, "Then Cui Gengren is called Cui Qingtian, and he has always taken the world as his responsibility, so he can't go this time." ”

Li Longji took the official document and read it, the more he looked at it, the happier he became, and finally slapped his thigh and said, "This official document came in time, God really helped me!" ”

What exactly is written on that official document?

In fact, it is not a good thing, but the barbarians of Yaozhou in Jiannan Province launched a rebellion, colluded with Tibet, and lit the sky lantern to Li Zhigu, the governor of Yaozhou.

Now, Yaozhou, Zhou, and dozens of feudal prefectures under its jurisdiction have all fallen into the hands of the barbarians.

This is nothing, the key is that this place occupies the main transportation route, and Queensland, Lizhou, Panzhou and other places south of Yaozhou have been cut off from the imperial court, and I don't know whether the officials and people of those state capitals are dead or alive.

In the eyes of ordinary people, isn't it enough to launch a large army to quell the chaos?

In fact, it is not that simple, this place is located between the mountains and mountains, and it is a miasma land, which is naturally not conducive to the movement of the army.

Besides, there is no army in the imperial court to dispatch.

This place is actually the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan in later generations, with Sichuan and Yaozhou in Yunnan. The road between Shu and the Central Plains is difficult, and the road to Shu here has to add the word "more". From a logistical point of view, the imperial court simply could not send many large troops to quell the rebellion.

Relatively speaking, the road conditions from Tibet to this place are much better. Datang can increase troops, and Tubo can also increase troops, and there will be no end in the fight. Now Datang is only barely maintaining peace internally, how can it afford to fight such a war?

And most importantly, the south of this place is also not stable, there is the land of the six edicts.

At the beginning, Tubo Zanpu Chidu Songtsan led an army of 100,000 to invade the land of the Six Edicts, and died of a violent illness on the occasion of a complete victory, and Tubo was forced to withdraw his army.

After this battle, the six edicts suffered heavy losses. However, relatively speaking, Mengshe Zhao suffered the least losses, and his remaining strength far exceeded that of the other five edicts.

Because the Mengshe edict is in the southernmost part of the six edicts, it is also known as the southern edict.

After so many years of development, the Southern Zhao almost has to unify the six edicts.

For Datang, Yaozhou and the state are so remote that they can't be more remote. But for Nanzhao, it is an unusually rich place, and he has long been involved.

The current situation is that Yaozhou and Zhou were originally the land of the Tang Dynasty, and both Tubo and Nanzhao had their hearts, and Tubo had already taken action, and the court did not know whether Nanzhao had actual action.

At the same time, the Tang Dynasty wanted to unite with the Southern Zhao to deal with the Tubo, and the Tubo wanted to unite the Southern Zhao against the Tang Dynasty, the situation was extremely complicated, and a powerful court official was urgently needed to deal with the chaos in Yaozhou.

Cui Geng used to be the envoy of Jiannan Province, and he had a lot of people in the old department of Jiannan Province, and he had both ability and political integrity, so he was simply the best person to deal with this matter.

For Cui Geng himself, this is not a bad thing.

Even if you don't talk about those complexes that worry about the country and the people, going to Shu to show your skills is much better than being under house arrest in Chang'an, isn't it?

Therefore, no one can refuse Zheng's idea.

Three days later, the imperial court formally discussed the issue of Yaozhou and Zhou, and Li Longji took the opportunity to propose that Cui Geng should be appointed as the pacification envoy of Jiannan Province, and use the power of Lingnan Province to deal with the barbarian rebellion in Yao Erzhou, as well as deal with the possible attacks of Tubo and Nanzhao.

Cui Geng thought about it and agreed, but he made a little request. When I went out of Jiannan Road this time, I didn't have to hang a false title of prime minister. As for his position as prime minister, Cui Lai can take over.

When Lee Long-gi launched the Tanglong coup, Choi was still the prime minister. After the coup was successful, Li Longji sent Cui to be the assassin of Huazhou in the name of embezzlement and bribery.

Cui Geng's move can be regarded as using himself to go out in exchange for Cui Weixiang. Li Dan thought about it, Cui was the concubine of Princess Taiping, and he still had to rely on Princess Taiping to balance Li Longji, so he agreed.

However, Li Dan took the opportunity to propose that since Cui, a big corrupt official, can be forgiven, can Xiao Zhizhong be forgiven?

It is true that Xiao Zhizhong was attached to Empress Wei before, but, on the whole, he is still a Qing official. Cui Geng had no opinion and agreed.

Seeing that Li Dan and Cui Geng had finalized Xiao Zhizhong as the prime minister, Li Longji was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

Without it, Xiao Zhizhong's son was killed by the rebels in the Tanglong coup. He doesn't hate himself to the core, unless the sun comes out of the west!

The father said casually, and arranged a counterpart for himself in the prime minister's team. The current members of the prime minister's team are: Yao Chong, Song, Liu Youqiu, Li Chengqi, Tang Xiu, Cui, Xiao Zhizhong, and his strength in it is almost incalculable.

He said loudly: "If Cui and Xiao Zhizhong can be prime ministers, I think that the other person should be even more prime ministers!" ”

"Who?"
