Li Yi pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Do the two Qing families have candidates for the five towns festival marshal?" ”

Lu Xian turned his head to look at Tian Lingzi, he knew Tian Lingzi's character, although he was the prime minister of the political affairs hall, but in fact he was just Tian Lingzi's puppet. In such an important personnel role, he did not dare to easily put forward his own candidates.

Tian Lingzi saw Lu Xian's gaze, of course he knew what he meant, and was very satisfied with his duty. Immediately spoke: "The old slave thinks that Cui Yunqing can be appointed as the envoy of the Funing Army Festival in Ziqing Town, Li Zhen can be appointed as the envoy of the National Army in Denglai Town, Gai Yu can be appointed as the envoy of the Andong Army in Jian'an Town, Jing Xiang can be appointed as the envoy of the Pinglu Army Festival in Liaoxi Town, and then Guo Chengan will be appointed as the envoy of the Zhendong Army in Hengqing Town. ”

Tian Lingzi quickly reported the candidates for the envoy of the Five Towns Festival, which surprised Li Yi and Lu Xie. However, in a blink of an eye, it is somewhat clear that Tian Lingzi's candidate for the marshal of the Five Towns Festival has one thing in common. That is, all of them are civil officials and marshals.

The new Five Towns Festival Marshal. There was no transfer from outside. All of them are old departments that promote Li Jing. In addition to Cui Yunqing, who is Li Jing's teacher and newly transferred, Li Zhen, Gai Yu, Jing Xiang, and Guo Cheng'an, all four of whom are Li Jing's old subordinates, and they are quite trusted masterminds, high-level leaders of the Zhenguo Army, and they also have the post of assassinating history. Tian Lingzi chose these five people to be the marshals of the Five Towns, naturally he was also thoughtful, and these people were either Li Jing's teachers. or Li Jing's confidant strategist.

Li Jing has no way to oppose the promotion of these people to be section marshals, he opposes them, that is, to cut off the future of his generals. If he really wants to do this, then these important henchmen will inevitably be difficult to give Li Jing their lives in the future.

Second, using these civil officials as marshals, Tian Lingzi does not have to worry that they will not obey the orders of the imperial court. After all, the biggest weakness of civilian officials as marshals is that they do not have enough control over the army.

Split the town national army into five towns. The soldiers and horses of the Zhenguo Army were assigned to the five towns, and Li Jing's subordinates were promoted to be the marshals of the five towns. Between Li Jing's subordinates, he split the Zhenguo Army again. As long as there is no army and territory, they don't have to worry about Li Jing.

In addition to promoting Cui Yunqing, Li Zhen, Jing Xiang, Gai Yu, and Guo Chengan to the five marshals, the slave also asked His Majesty to agree to the appointment of Li Jing's old department as the deputy envoy of the five towns, the marching Sima, the marching judge, the envoy and other important positions. In addition, the assassin history and the position of Shangzuo in the sixteen states were also promoted by Li Jing's old department. In addition, some officials were transferred from the imperial court to the five towns to serve as county commanders, and state six cao and other official positions. ”

"In addition, in Laizhou Qingdao Port, Dengzhou Dengzhou Port, Jinzhou Duli Port, Qingni Port, Xiuzhou Shirenwang Port, Pingzhou Qinhuangdao Port, Linhaidun Port, Anshi Port, a total of eight seaports, set up a city shipping department in Dengzhou Port, and also set up customs in the remaining seven ports, and sent city shipping envoys to carry out city ship taxation." Tian Lingzi is obsessed with Dengzhou's maritime trade wealth. "According to the minister's estimate, after the establishment of the Municipal Shipping Division, the imperial court can collect at least five million yuan in taxes from the eight ports a year."

Hearing the figure of five million, Li Yi was not too moved. Money is just a number in his mind. Five million is just a number.

He did not have much opposition to the plan of Tian Lingzi and Lu Xian to split the Zhenguo Army. After all, the strength of the Zhenguo Army is indeed a bit too large. The land of Gyeonggi in Guanzhong of the imperial court was only 180,000 forbidden troops.

Moreover, now that the northeast was about to be pacified, he also did not think it was necessary to keep such a large army.

According to Tian Lingzi's plan, the 100,000 united soldiers and township soldiers of the Zhenguo Army were dismantled, and then the 100,000 Zhenguo Army was divided into five and handed over to the five towns. Each town will be reduced to half of the united soldiers, so that each town will only retain 10,000 standing soldiers, and the remaining 10,000 united soldiers will be trained in the autumn and winter, which can not only protect the place, but also not worry the imperial court.

There was just one thing that made Li Yi still frown.

"How does the king of Andong County arrange, Li Jing has just made a great achievement, but the imperial court has split the Zhenguo army, I am afraid that it will chill Li Jing's heart." In case Li Jing refuses to agree, Li Yi doesn't know what to do with the Daoist Imperial Court? "Besides, now that the war in Liaodong is raging, and Goguryeo is about to be destroyed, it is difficult for the soldiers to accept the division of the Zhenguo Army at this time."

"Your Majesty, this matter is not unsolvable." Tian Lingzi immediately said.

"What is the law?"

Tian Lingzi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "As long as Your Majesty moves to the eastern capital, establishes a camp, personally commands the war in Liaodong, and then appoints a general to Liaodong, then the affairs of Liaodong will be fine." The minister recommended Hedong Jiedu to make Zheng Congyan the commander of the Jingdong camp of the Shence Army, and then recommended Cui Anqian, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Zhang Zimian, the general of Zuo Weiwei, as the deputy commander, led an army of 20,000 into Liao, and was responsible for commanding the soldiers and horses of the five towns in Liaodong. ”

Zheng Congyan, Cui Anqian, and Zhang Zimian are all military generals who have both prestige and can fight. Although they have a good relationship with Li Jing, Tian Lingzi believes that they will not conspire with Li Jing. As long as these three generals lead 20,000 soldiers and horses into Liao, and the emperor sits in Luoyang, they can control the five towns.

Of course, the most important thing is to transfer Li Jing out of Liaodong. Otherwise, with Li Jing here, no matter how different the strategy is, it will not have much effect.

"For the king of Andong County, please ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to remove Li Jing from the post of envoy of the national army and the envoy of the Pinglu army, and abolish the capital of Andong, and remove Li Jing from the post of protector of the capital of Andong, and the assassination history of Yingzhou, Dengzhou, and Qingzhou held by Li Jing is also lifted."

Li Yi's face was a little ugly, in his mind, Li Jing was a meritorious man, and he had great merit. Although he agreed to split the Zhenguo Army, it was only for Li Jing's good and Li Tang Sheji. But if it is just dismissal, then it is not to treat Li Jing as a criminal minister. How can the people of the world agree? How can the soldiers of the Zhenguo Army agree. How can Li Jing agree? Even he, the emperor, is difficult to agree.

Li Yi waved his hand, shook his head and said, "Li Jing has made great contributions to Li Tang Jiangshan Sheji, so he should be treated well!" ”

Lu Xian hurriedly answered: "The minister thinks that Tian Gong's proposal to remove Li Jing from all his posts is also for the imperial court's control of the newly established five towns. As for Li Jing, of course the imperial court should be treated favorably. The minister thought that it was better to add Li Jing's three divisions to the position of Taifu. He was awarded the marshals of Lulong, Chengde, Yiwu, Yichang, and Wei Bo Hebei Province, the Hebei Provincial Observation Ambassador, and still served as the envoy of the Youzhou Lu Long Army and the Acting Beidatong Army. He also served as the ambassador of the Hebei Province Yingtian Duzhi and the ambassador of the Zhubo tribe. ”

This series of official positions is actually all false.

Marshal of the River Road, Observation Ambassador, Salt and Iron Transit Envoy, Coinage Envoy, Yingtian Duzhi Ambassador, Zhuzhu Tribe Ambassador, Holding the Lu Long Army and Datong Army.

Speaking of which, Lu Xian's intention was to drive Li Jing out of the Shandong Peninsula and Liaodong and Liaoxi.

After splitting the Zhenguo Army and seizing Li Jing's territory. Transfer Li Jing to Hebei.

Although there is a list of names, it sounds very loud. What is the marshal of the soldiers and horses of Hebei Zhudao, the ambassador of Hebei Observation. But in fact, even the festival of Lu Longjun and Datong Army made Li Jing just hang a name.

Tian Lingzi and Lu Xian both drove Li Jing out of the Zhenguo Army and Liaodong and Liaoxi, and both threw Li Jing into Hebei. Hebei has always been a territory that is difficult for the Tang Dynasty to control, and now that Li Jing is allowed to come to Hebei, how can the towns of Hebei obey the orders of a marshal who has no soldiers and no power?

Li Jing led his troops into Youzhou today, and he also took advantage of the civil strife in Lu Longjun's army, but he couldn't really control Youzhou, not to mention the current situation.

For Tian Lingzi and them, as long as Li Jing arrives in Hebei, no matter what the result, they are all winners.

If Li Jing can't fight the Hebei Domain, they will be happy to see it, anyway, as long as Li Jing leaves the Zhenguo Army, they will be a big step forward. Even if Li Jing really defeated the towns of Hebei, standing on the side of the imperial court, the imperial court first got five towns such as Liaodong and Liaoxi, and secondly cleaned up the towns of Hebei, so it was a big victory.

Moreover, Tian Lingzi and Lu Xi believed that the imperial court had not settled the Hebei Towns for more than 100 years, and they did not believe that Li Jing would be able to subdue the Hebei Princes if he went to the Hebei Towns.

"What if Li Jing refuses to hand over the Zhenguo Army?" Li Yi asked the most worrying question in his heart.

Tian Lingzi said with a dark smile: "The imperial court has made such a condition, if Li Jing still holds the Zhenguo Army and refuses to hand it over, then the rebellious heart will be revealed." If this is the case, then of course His Majesty must immediately destroy him while he is still in his fledgling. ”

Li Yi was still hesitating.

Lu Xian said loudly: "Your Majesty, think about how Emperor Xuanzong treated him favorably in An Lushan at the beginning, but how he treated Emperor Xuanzong and the Tang Dynasty in the end. ”

The Anshi Rebellion can be said to be an indelible scar in the hearts of every Tang emperor since Emperor Xuanzong. The prosperous Tang Dynasty, it was precisely because of the Anshi Rebellion that it took a sharp turn all the way. Because of the Anshi Rebellion, there was the rebellion of the feudal towns and the disaster of the eunuchs.

Today's Li Jing is indeed very similar to before An Lushan raised his army.

At the same time, he was born in a small end, he rose in the same short time, and he held heavy troops in his hands.

It is necessary to prevent it before it happens.

"As Erqing said, add Li Jing Taifu, Marshal of Soldiers and Horses of Chonghe Hebei Province, Observation Ambassador, Salt and Iron Transit Envoy, Coinage Envoy, Yingtian Duzhi Ambassador, Zhuzhu Tribe Ambassador, Lu Long Army, and Datong Army."

After the agreement, on the same day, the Son of Heaven once again convened the political hall and the eunuchs of the Northern Division to discuss the matter.

However, this time it was in the Xuanzheng Palace, and in addition to the important ministers of the Southern and Northern Divisions, there were also officials from the six departments of the three provinces and the Imperial Historical Observatory, and even the generals of the Shence Army also arrived.

As soon as Li Yi opened his mouth, he announced the matter of pro-conquest.

It was announced that ten days later, he would march in person and move to Luoyang. At the same time, the post of Li Jing, the king of Andong County, and the marshal of the soldiers and horses of Hebei Province, was added, and then the town army was split into five towns, and the commanders of each town were appointed and the following assassins. Then, it was announced that Zheng Congyan would be the commander of the Jingdong camp of the Shence Army, and Cui Anqian and Zhang Zimian would be the deputy commanders, leading 20,000 soldiers and horses into Liaodong, and was responsible for commanding the soldiers and horses of the five towns in Liaodong to conquer Goguryeo.

The emperor's order could not be refuted at all, and it was immediately handed over to his subordinates to draft an edict, and then the Chinese book was reviewed and sent to Shangshu Province for execution.

The edict was immediately publicized, and the officials from all walks of life immediately went to Taiyuan Prefecture, Henan, Hebei, Liaodong and other places to announce the edict.

The news that the emperor was going to conquer in person, the Zhenguo army was split, and Li Jing was transferred to Hebei immediately spread throughout Chang'an. And this news also quickly spread like the wind everywhere, and after continuous processing, the more and more mysterious, for a time rumors spread, Guanzhongshan, Henan, Hedong, Hebei.

Not long after, there was even news from Henan and other places back to Chang'an, began to spread that Li Jing, the king of Andong County, had conquered Goguryeo, and then some people said that Li Jing had rebelled angrily after receiving the holy decree of the imperial court, and now the army of 500,000 horses has entered the Guannei, taken Youzhou, and attacked Taiyuan.

There are even rumors that as soon as the emperor arrived in Luoyang, he was surrounded by Li Jing's army!

All of a sudden, the entire Guanzhong people were panicked, and rumors spread everywhere! (To be continued......)
