In today's Yanying Palace, the heroes gather and gather the stars.

When Li Jing entered the main hall, the emperor had not yet arrived, and the generals in the hall stood together to greet each other.

Hedong Jiedu made Zheng Congyan, Heyang Jiedu made Li Zhuo, Zhaoyi Jiedu made Du Xiancun, Zhenwu Jiedu made Yu Xuan, Tiandejun Jiedu made Helian Duo, Xia Sui Jiedu made Tuoba Sigong, Yicheng Jiedu made Li Chong, Zhongwu Jiedu made Cui Anqian, and other seven marshals who had just triumphed from Daibei stood in a small circle and talked to each other.

Li Jing was outside and Xin Yan, the deputy ambassador of the Datong Army and the envoy of Jiedu, was talking under the medicine tree outside, and when he came in, Hu Shuai, Helian Duo and Tuoba Sigong, the two palaces, were closely following behind Zheng Congyan and Yu Xuan. Although they have also become the marshals of a town, their status in this Yanying Hall is a little embarrassing, and even the little eunuchs in that hall pay little attention to them.

As soon as they saw Li Jing coming in, the two immediately stepped forward to greet each other affectionately. Helian Duo was the first to see Li Jing come in, "Li Zhenguo is here!" His eyes lit up and he walked over. Since Helianduo entered Beijing, he has picked up his whole body fiercely, not only pulling up the messy hair, but also trimming the yellow beard on his face, which reminds Li Jing of his BMW that has just cut horsehair.

Tuoba Sigong also greeted him with a smile on his face: "I have gone to the Mansion of Qi several times these days to pay respects, but the door says that the handsome man is recuperating behind closed doors. It's great to see Dashuai today. I haven't seen him for many days, and I wonder I miss it. ”

Li Jing nodded. first greeted Zheng Congyan, Cui Anqian and others. Then he arched his hand towards Yu Xuan: "Teacher! ”

Yu Xuan didn't come over. Just nodded to Li Jing, and he glanced at Li Jing meaningfully. It was too late to say anything after the short meeting outside just now, but he was very satisfied with Li Jing's behavior of closing the door these days. I didn't lose my mind because of a momentary high position. What he is most satisfied with about Li Jing is that he is firm-minded, and in his opinion, this is more important than Li Jing being good at making money and even being very good at commanding troops.

Du Xiancun came over with a smile, and took Li Jing's hand very familiarly. "Come, the old man introduced a few friends to Qi Guogong, and everyone admires such a young Three Towns Festival Marshal."

When they came to a circle on the other side, they could see that Du Xianquan was still very prestigious here. Seeing him coming, everyone came to see the old prime minister.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Li Jing and Li Jiyu, the three town marshals of the Zhenguo Army, Lu Longjun, and Datong Army, who are now famous all over the world."

Everyone came up to salute one after another, and all of these people were Li Jing's well-known predecessors, and they all served as festival marshals. was the first one, without waiting for Du Xiancun's introduction. Xin Yan, who was beside Li Jing, immediately stepped forward and said, "Dashuai, this is Du Xian, the righteous brother of Yan." The former envoy of the Yicheng Army, the current defense envoy of the eastern capital of Jidu, the Yin of Henan Prefecture, the left guard of the eastern capital, the Tongping Zhangshi, and the prince of Runan County. ”

Xin Yan went to Sizhou regardless of Anran, for the sake of this righteous brother, and the love between Xin Yan and Du Yan has long been well known to the people of the Tang Dynasty. Especially at that time, Xin Yan persuaded Du Xian to evacuate Sizhou at the beginning, and Du Xian's words made countless people feel his loyalty. At that time, Du Xian said, 'How can there be a reason to enjoy the throne of the imperial court when it is peaceful, but abandon the city and flee when it is in danger?' I don't be such a person! And every people has his own home, and who doesn't cherish it? I survive alone, what will I rely on to serve the people in the future? I am determined to lead the soldiers to live and die with Sizhou City! ’

After hundreds of difficult and bloody battles in Sizhou, after the final victory, there is already a saying in the world, the heroes of the world are only hard, and the Manchu Dynasty is loyal and loyal. Since the Battle of Sizhou, Du Xian has inspected the Shangshu of the Ministry of Engineering, the History of the Assassin of Huazhou, the Observation of Zheng Hua, and the Righteous Army.

Du Xian and Du Xianquan are both Jingzhao Du clans, but they are not the same clan, although the two families have the same ancestor, but they are two different branches. Du Xian's family background is higher than Du Xiancun, his grandfather is the famous minister Du You, who has gone through the five dynasties of Su, Dai, De, Shun and Xian, and the elder of the five dynasties. Du Xian's cousin Du Yi was the prime minister of the Yizong Dynasty, and a cousin, Du Mu, was a famous poet in the late Tang Dynasty.

The two greeted each other and admired each other.

Later, Du Xian and Du Xianquan introduced several people to Li Jing, respectively, the largest and richest feudal town in the Tang Dynasty, Huainan Jiedu envoy, and Liu Ye, Tongping Zhangshi. and Xuanwu Festival envoy Mu Renyu.

Later, Li Jing also met Chen Jingxuan, who lost the last polo match, but got the position of deputy envoy of Lu Longjun.

After chatting with everyone, the eunuchs in Li Jing's palace lined up and found their place and just sat down. A strange eunuch in a purple robe walked over, but when he saw a person behind him, Li Jing's face immediately sank.

The eunuch said to Li Jing with a smile on his face: "Yang Fuguang, the military envoy of Shatuo, has seen Li Zhenguo!" ”

Li Jing had already guessed the identity of this person just now, although he was dissatisfied that he was mixed with Li Guochang, but he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person. What's more, this Yang Fuguang is also a loyal eunuch who is extremely loyal to the Tang Dynasty in history.

"Hasn't the Shatuo Army gone to Xichuan yet?" Li Jing said lightly.

Li Guochang's face was still a little pale, and this painful experience was not so easy to linger. He took two steps forward, bowed his head to Li Jing and said, "Li Guochang has seen Qi Guogong, he was confused for a while before, and he was offended, please forgive me." ”

"It's all for the court, and I can't talk about forgiveness." Li Jing said without being salty or light.

Li Guochang looked at this guy who was close at hand, and he couldn't wait to pounce on him and tear him apart. If Li Jing hadn't sent troops to the north, the outcome of the matter would definitely not be the situation in front of him, but he knew that he couldn't offend Li Jing. "Qi Guogong, I have a reluctant request below, I hope Li Zhenguo can agree."

Li Jing snorted in his nostrils, which was an answer.

"Guochang was gracious to His Majesty, allowed meritorious service to atone for his sins, and sent troops to Xichuan. At present, the dog is still wandering in Mobei, and he hopes that the handsome man can open the net and let the dog return to the Central Plains. Together, they made meritorious contributions to the court. ”

Li Jing smiled. "You're looking for me to find the wrong person for this matter." After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Li Guochang and Yang Fuguang. For Li Keyong, Li Jing has no good attitude. The hatred between them is greater than that of Tian Lingzi, Li Jing has now sent an elite killer team into Daibei to look for Li Keyong, eager to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, how can he easily let him come back. Even if you can't kill him, you have to let him suffer a little more in Mobei.

"The emperor has arrived!" A eunuch shouted loudly in front of the hall.

The generals in the palace immediately took their places, although the Yanying Hall was not as good as the Xuanzheng Palace, and there were no celebrant officials. But today, most of the people in the hall are local feudal towns, so the atmosphere is still relatively grand.

The first to enter were the ministers of the political hall and the left and right lieutenants of the Shence Army, the left and right privy envoys of the Privy Council, and the envoys of the Xuanhui Yuan of the north and south who were also in charge of the eunuchs. These people almost controlled the entire government, and it was only at this time that it was obvious that they had already discussed it together just now and reached some results.

After these people arrived, it was only a moment before the emperor entered the Yanying Hall with the guards on the left and right.

"The old practice in the Yanying Palace, there is no need to be polite, everyone will sit and deliberate. Speak up. As soon as the emperor came in, he directly waved his hand to stop the courtiers.

To Li Jing's surprise. The first to speak out was not Lu Xi, the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall, but Zheng Jin, who said loudly, "Recently, there have been illegal salt dealers in the territory of the Tianping Army who have gathered to loot the prefectures and counties, and they are wandering around. Moreover, he has merged with Wang Jingwu, a rebel general in Ziqing Prefecture, and has successively defeated Xue Chong, the envoy of the Tianping Army, and Li Chong, the envoy of the Taining Army, and now he has entered Songzhou and felt the canal trough. This incident was shocking, Xue Chong, Li Department, and Song Wei were all guilty of dereliction of duty, and the minister suggested that the three should be dismissed. ”

Many generals in the palace were very surprised when they heard the news for the first time. However, there are also many people who have already known the Tao and are expressionless.

After Zheng Zheng proposed, Lu Xian immediately stepped out, "Your Majesty, although Xue Li and Song have been derelict in their duties, this is not the time to pursue responsibility, the top priority is to calm down the thieves first." Otherwise, Cao Yun will not work, and Chang'an will also be turbulent. ”

Li Jing sat down and listened to the words of these two prime ministers, although he was not ashamed that Lu Xian and Tian Lingzi were in the same stream, but in terms of facts, Zheng Jing's opinion was not a good way for the Chinese people, and at this time, the withdrawal of the commander from the battle undoubtedly made the entire three towns of Tianping, Taining, and Ziqing even more chaotic. Lu Xian's proposal was to the point.

"The political hall has just received the 800-mile rush of Song Wei in Ziqing Town, Song Wei knows that he has failed in his duties, and now he has heard that the thief army is threatening Caoyun, and has proposed to the imperial court, please lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to attack, and ask the imperial court to allocate another 5,000 foot cavalry, and then set up a special envoy to control the suppression of the matter. The minister thought that Song Wei had great seniority and prestige, and he had suppressed Pang Xun's rebellion with Kang Chengxun six years ago, and defeated the Nanzhao army in southern Xinjiang a few years ago, which was enough to take on this important task. The minister proposed to appoint Song Wei, the envoy of Ziqing Pinglu Jiedu, to recruit grass thieves for the Zhudao camp! ”

Lu brought Song Wei out as a solicitor, and it was also discussed with Tian Lingzi for a long time. After Li Jing proposed to lead his troops to fight the thieves yesterday, Tian Lingzi was already looking for a suitable general to replace Li Jing and prevent Li Jing from making any more great contributions. After thinking about it, I didn't come up with a result for a while. At this moment, Song Wei's excerpt arrived. Song Wei is a capable general, and the key thing is that Song Wei is a person who worships under Lu Xianmen, and for Tian Lingzi, they are all their own people. Moreover, Song Wei is still Li Jing's father-in-law and can contain Li Jing. And because the relationship between Li Jing and Song Wei was not very good at the beginning, and Dengzhou was separated, there is no need to worry about them uniting with each other.

In the end, Tian Lingzi finally chose Song Wei as the envoy.

"In order to quickly exterminate the grass thieves and Wang Jingwu's rebels, the ministers asked for 3,000 infantry and 500 cavalry from Song Wei to strengthen their military strength. In addition, please ask Du Xiancun to lead the Zhaoyi Army, Li Zhuo to lead the Heyang Army, Du Xian to lead the Dongdu Army, Li Chong to lead the Yicheng Army, Cui Anqian to lead the Zhongwu Army, Mu Renyu to lead the Xuanwu Army, Liu Ye to lead the Huainan Army, Li Jing to lead the Zhenguo Army, and Xue Neng to lead the Reform Army to send troops to encircle and suppress. Xue Chong was allowed to lead the Tianping Army, and Li led the Taining Army to make meritorious service on behalf of the crime. The soldiers and horses of the twelve towns jointly encircled and suppressed the thief army, and all the soldiers and horses were led by Song Wei. ”

Hearing this encirclement plan, Li Jing couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. The 12 routes of soldiers and horses were mobilized at one time, and it can be said that the troops east of Luoyang, north of the Huai River, and south of the Yellow River were all mobilized, and even the east of the river also transferred soldiers and horses from two towns to participate in the war. It's completely surrounded on all sides, but Li Jing couldn't help but shake his head secretly, the soldiers are expensive but not expensive, it seems that the scene is huge, but the more so, I am afraid that the most disappointing result will be.

Tian Lingzi also came out of the column at this time: "The minister asked to award the right privy envoy Ximen Sigong as the military envoy of the Zhudao camp, and Yang Fugong, the lieutenant of the right Shence Army, as the military envoy of the Zhudao camp!" ”

Hearing this invitation, Ximen Sigong and Yang Fugong, who were originally standing at the foot of the jade steps, changed color at the same time, their eyes opened violently, and they glared at Tian Lingzi angrily. This recital was so unexpected that they had not been discussed at all in the previous proceedings. The most relentless Houtian Lingzi wantonly mobilized the Gyeonggi soldiers and horses, and even carried out purges, and they had already taken a step back. But he never thought that Tian Lingzi would take this opportunity to drive them out of the capital. I'm afraid that as soon as they leave the capital this time and come back, the entire Chang'an will be completely controlled by Tian Lingzi.

The two were about to step forward, but Emperor Li Yi had already waved his hand and said lightly: "Quasi-play!" (To be continued......)
