Chapter 386 Emergency Response
第三百八十六章紧急应对
At this time, Li Mi was worried that it was not how to deal with Li Qing'an, but the Supreme Emperor interfered in politics. He had been a staff member of Li Heng for a while and knew Li Heng's desire for power very well. Logically, since his son Li Yu had ascended the throne, as a father, Li Heng should retreat behind the scenes and no longer ask about political affairs. However, Li Heng did not retreat, but instead interfered in the government affairs under various pretexts, especially when he seized the power to recruit soldiers, which was even more uneasy.
Of course, he is a father, and it is natural to care about his son, but Li Mi always feels that Li Heng's hand is too long, and Li Mi does not agree with his strategy of attacking An Xi first. He always feels that Li Heng has other plans.
"What about Your Majesty's thoughts?" Li Mi was not in a hurry to object. He wanted to hear Li Yu's thoughts.
"I really want to take back Hexi and block Li Qing'an in Anxi."
"But your Majesty has thought about it. According to the strategy of the Supreme Emperor, reset the Hexi Jiedu and appoint Guo Ziyi as the Jiedushi. This will not only cause a break from trust Li Qing'an, but at that time, His Majesty personally agreed to assign the four prefectures of Hexi to Anxi. Moreover, the court officials already knew that this would also cause a break from trust from court officials and the world, but Li Qing'an would get the sympathy of the people of the world. Your Majesty, you are unwise!"
"What can the master do to get me back to Hexi without losing my credit."
Li Mi was speechless. Li Yu was good at everything, frugal and diligent, worked hard to govern, not greedy for women, and did not get close to eunuchs. He was the lord of the revival of the Tang Dynasty, but he had one thing wrong, that is, he was unable to make up his mind on matters related to principles. Originally, they had decided to use the strategy of getting along with each other and attacking each other to win over Li Qing'an and take Hedong and Jingzhou first. However, under the instigation of his father, Li Yu changed his mind and wanted to weaken Li Qing'an and destroy the trust relationship he and Li Qing'an had finally established. This is a fatal weakness of Li Yu!
Li Mi wanted to persuade him again, but he also knew that too much would make him distrust himself. He could only use silence rather than blocking the emperor with insufficient political experience.
“陛下就这么想拿回河西吗?”
"Yes!" Li Yu's tone was very affirmative, "I really wanted to take back Hexi. I admit that I made a mistake at the beginning, but at that time it was also to appease Li Qing'an. But now Li Qing'an has been in Hexi and has made his Anxi silver dollar a Tang currency, so I can't sleep at night."
Li Mi pondered for a long time and said, "It's better to do this. Your Majesty will use the method of side attack to seize the real power of Hexi without moving the nominal system. Hexi splits the world to Longyou and Anxi. Since Your Majesty has dictated the world with oral instructions, there is no need to change it. Guo Ziyi doesn't have to serve as the governor of Hexi, but is changed to the commander of the stables, in charge of the Hexi Mazheng. The Hexi garrison was originally from Hedong, and it has not been long for the time being to submit to Li Qing'an, and Li Qing'an has not transferred them to Anxi. It can be seen that Li Qing'an is also suspicious of this army and dare not let them enter Anxi. Therefore, as long as Your Majesty promises their high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and with the prestige of the Old General Guo, it is not impossible to regain the military power of Hexi. And let Li Qing'an suffer a loss, but he is not easy to speak out. Your Majesty, this is the safe and effective method."
