Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 394 The Compromise of the Court

"Li Fei's ambitions are obvious, and he is becoming more and more undisguised." Guo Ziyi is worried. Li Fei's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and he can almost crush Shi Siming's rebels and the court. Besides, Anton's political system and so on, what does Li Fei want to do in the end? , even if it does not replace Datang, I am afraid that Anton will be separated.

What made Guo Ziyi even more distressed was that the imperial court collapsed thousands of miles in the face of Shi Siming's anti-army attack. Yingchuan, Nanyang, Yanzhou, and Jianghuai were all lost, and they were helpless against Shi Siming's anti-army.

However, he can only watch all of this, and there is no way to change it.

The news that the Huihe people were attacked by Anton's iron cavalry and suffered heavy losses and their vitality was severely injured spread from Huihe to Guanzhong and Chang'an City after more than ten days.

There was an uproar in the Tang court, and Suzong Li Heng's face turned black.

Not long after, the news that Bohai Kingdom was completely destroyed by Li Fei also came. The civil and military officials and Suzong Li Heng were too angry to speak.

"Rebellious ministers and traitors! Rebellious ministers and traitors!" Suzong Li Heng cursed angrily.

Faced with the rebellion, the imperial court was defeated and retreated steadily. Once again, it was the moment of life and death. All the armies were desperately resisting the rebels. However, Li Fei of Anton did not help the imperial court put down the rebellion, and he still had the energy and strength to attack. Huihe people and the destruction of the Bohai Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, the King of Beiping, Li Fei, possesses great strength. As a general of the Tang Dynasty, he would rather attack Huihe and Bohai than send troops to attack the rebel army in Hebei. Take him and his family back to Chang'an City, and send another general to take over as Anton's envoy, and lead the Anton army to participate in the suppression of the rebels." This official must be a stunned young man who has not been in the court for a long time, so he dared to say such words .

All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty looked strange, and no one dared to stand up and second.

There was more than one stunned young man, and someone else had his eyes on Li Fei's father-in-law, Lin Siming, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and threatened to dismiss Lin Siming as well.

Lin Siming closed his eyes and meditated, he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. He finally stood up after all these people had finished speaking.

"Your Majesty, Guo Ziyi, the Duke of Dai, and Li Guangbi, the Duke of Zheng, made great achievements in military affairs, but they were framed in the end. Your Majesty did not even conduct a thorough investigation, but convicted the two Dukes. How many generals were disappointed, and I heard that His Majesty withdrew the concubine. The quality of life of Concubine Tai Gui and Princess Yongping has been reduced by a few court ladies, Concubine Tai Gui is the foster mother of the King of Beiping, with the filial piety of the King of Beiping, the King of Beiping is also chilling."

"If you want the king of Beiping County to send troops to Hebei, it is not difficult to participate in the suppression of the rebels. As long as your majesty respects the concubine Taigui, you can make the king of Beiping County the king of Beiping, lead the world's soldiers and horses, and command all armies. The king of Beiping County will be able to quickly wipe out the rebels military."

"Nonsense words, Li Fei's self-respect, disorderly ministers and thieves, are no different from An Lushan back then and Shi Siming today, and sooner or later he will rebel. Handing over the world's soldiers and horses to him, isn't it really going to ruin the Tang Dynasty? Jiangshan?" Li Fuguo stood up angrily and accused Lin Siming.

"That's why the imperial court always suspected that the king of Beiping County was going to rebel. That's why he pushed the king of Beiping County to the point where he is today. Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi are not famous generals in the world, but they are not trusted by the court. In the battle of Xiangzhou, if Guo Ziyi or Li Guangbi If one person is the commander, he will never be defeated. The rebel army should have been destroyed long ago. I believe your Majesty, all civil and military men know the reason for today's situation. It is no different to talk nonsense. The Tang Dynasty has reached the most dangerous stage. At the critical moment, after Shi Siming captured Yanzhou, Jianghuai and other rich places, he frantically recruited troops, which reached nearly 50 rebels. At that time, 50 rebels will attack Tongguan again, will they still be able to hold it?" With Li Fei's powerful Anton army As a backing, and he is Li Fei's father-in-law, it is Li Fei's man who is shining in the court, and it is useless to cover up. Lin Siming has the psychology and temperament of a treacherous minister.

"Lord Lin is right. At this point in the Tang Dynasty, don't you still want to trust the king of Beiping? Who else can extinguish the growing rebellion? Wang, the general who leads the world's soldiers and horses, presides over the extermination of the rebels!" This is Lin Siming's growing party.

"The minister seconded——"

There are always nearly [-] civil and military officials standing behind Lin Siming, and these are Lin Siming's followers.

Suzong Li Heng was furious. God knows how much he wanted to kill Lin Siming and cut off Lin Siming's party members. However, he repeatedly grabbed his fists, but he didn't dare to do it. After he grew up, he no longer had the confidence to deal with Li Fei, and now he dared not offend Li Fei at all.

"Retire!" Suzong Li Heng held back his anger, and failed to make the decision to use Li Fei.

The anti-army is terrifying and needs to be wiped out, but Li Fei is also rebellious and ambitious, so he is nothing but a good thing to drive tigers and wolfs away.

Facing the current situation, Suzong Li Heng only felt powerless and didn't know what to do. After much deliberation, the entire Tang Dynasty could no longer find a general like Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi. Should he really not doubt Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi?
However, how can Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and the whole family disappear without a trace?Isn't this a sign of ambition?The father trusted An Lushan too much, which led to the decline of the Tang Dynasty to where it is today. He suspected Guo Ziyi, and what was wrong with Li Guangbi!

Faced with embarrassment, Suzong Li Heng firmly believed that he was not wrong.

Li Fei was ambitious, and he also believed that Li Fei was no different from An Lushan and Shi Siming. Although he didn't rebel now, he would definitely rebel in the future, and he couldn't bear to hand over the world's troops to Li Fei.

The Tang court was still helpless against Shi Siming's rebellion.

In July, Shi Siming's anti-army broke through the Huai River, entered Huainan, and quickly swept half of Huainan.

In August, Shi Siming tried to break through the Yangtze River moat, but failed.

He returned to Luoyang in mid-August, and also summoned the Ashina Chengqing rebels who were attacking Jiangling City. Hundreds of thousands of rebels gathered in Luoyang. I am afraid that Shi Siming will try to attack Tongguan again and enter Guanzhong.

When the news spread to Chang'an City, all the court officials and ordinary people were panic-stricken and despaired.

The strong pressure of the anti-army made Suzong Li Heng almost out of breath, so he could only frantically increase his troops to Tongguan, and he must defend Tongguan no matter what.

"Your Majesty, if this continues, the imperial court will not be able to wipe out the rebels. It will only make the rebels bigger and bigger, and finally reach the point where they cannot be wiped out." Li Fuguo is also under great pressure. If Shi Siming's rebellious army breaks through Tongguan and enters Guanzhong this time, the Tang court is over, and he will not be much better off. The Tang Dynasty must be preserved.

Suzong Li Heng didn't know that if the rebel army continued to grow like this, sooner or later they would still attack Guanzhong, and the Tang Dynasty would really be over by then.

"What can you do?" Suzong Li Heng valued Li Fuguo very much, he would discuss almost everything with Li Fuguo, and subconsciously felt that Li Fuguo had a solution.

"Your Majesty, if you don't follow Lin Siming's proposal, let Li Fei be the King of Peking and the Generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and preside over the suppression of the rebels." Li Fuguo gritted his teeth and suggested.

"How can this work!" Suzong Li Heng was shocked. He never thought of Li Fuguo's proposal. If Li Fei is allowed to control the world's soldiers and horses, with Li Fei's ambition, even if he can wipe out the rebels, isn't Li Fei the next rebel? The army is even more terrifying than Shi Siming, but Datang Jiangshan is still dangerous.

"Your Majesty, Li Fei is far away in Andong, and the rebel army has already reached the Yangtze River. Even if Li Fei is made the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses, how can Li Fei control the world's soldiers and horses? Let Li Fei be the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses, isn't it just a matter of His Majesty's words? Li Fei is a tiger, and Shi Siming's anti-army is also a tiger. It happens that the two tigers will fight. , Destroy the two tigers together!"

Suzong Li Heng frowned and thought.

Now the anti-army cannot be contained, and Li Feiyuan cannot be contained in Anton. Both of them are tigers. If Li Fei is allowed to lead the Anton army into Hebei, Shi Siming will not have the energy to continue attacking Tongguan. Guanzhong Wuyou will also wait for Li Fei and Shi Siming When both sides suffer, the imperial court can benefit from——
The more Suzong Li Heng thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible. This was the only way to weaken Li Fei and the rebels at the same time.

Suzong Li Heng compromised, and the next day he promulgated the imperial decree, announced it to the world, and sent the imperial decree to Anton quickly.
