Li Ye looked at the three people sitting in the hall and ignored their words.

Ma Yin was at the age of prosperity in the Spring and Autumn Period, Liu Yin was only in his thirties, and Zhao Xingyuan was about the same. The statement that "he is old and cannot bear the drive" is ridiculous.

Li Ye knew very well what happened in the inn, and it was the only thing that shocked the governors from all over the country. If the order had not been issued long ago, the eldest son Siming would not have taken action to hurt others.

So Li Ye was not surprised by Ma Yin and others' uneasy attitude at this moment. However, when he saw the other party feeling uncomfortable, Li Ye still wanted to laugh. These people were overlords at least, and they were intimidated by the eldest son Siming and became like this. It was unbearable.

Li Ye thought boredly: "The so-called heroes are rising together, but in fact, there are no heroes in the Tang Dynasty."

Of course he knew that everyone was asking for resignation now, but in fact, retreat was to advance. If he really gave up their official position, it would be strange if they didn't get into trouble when they returned to the place. The dog was anxious and the rabbit bit people in a hurry.

In addition to Ma Yin, Liu Yin and Zhao Xingyuan, there was also a middle-aged man of similar age as Ma Yin. He was elegant and elegant. Seeing that Li Ye did not speak, he smiled and bowed to him and said, "Your Highness, what the three envoys said was also out of loyalty to the dynasty, not that he did not want to contribute to the court. Please do not blame him."

Ma Yin and others looked at the man strangely, not understanding what the other party said.

Liu Yin and Zhao Xingyuan did not know this person, but Ma Yin had seen it and knew that it was Qian Liu, the governor of Zhejiang West who was in Jiangzuo. He had many confrontations with Gao Pian before. Although he suffered a lot of losses, the vassal states were not annexed by Gao Pian, which was amazing.

From the moment he entered the hall gate and saw Qian Li, Ma Yin realized that this person was indeed a smart person. Zhao Xingyuan argued with Gao Ji in the inn. When he and Liu Yin were watching the show, Qian Li was already running over to pay homage to King An.

With one move, Qian Liu's expression was very relaxed and easy, and he was much better than those of them. This is the wise man who saw through the situation early on.

Ma Yin didn't understand the specific meaning of Qian Liang's words, but he also saw from the other party's face that the other party had no malice, so he had to turn his puzzled eyes to Li Ye.

He didn't believe that Li Ye would really agree to dismiss their official positions, but the attitude of surrender must be put forward first so that there will be a possibility of succession. If Li Ye is completely annoyed, Gao Ji's fate is a lesson.

The question now is how much power they can gain for themselves.

In Ma Yin's eyes, Li Ye seemed a little unhappy when he heard their words, and only heard him say lightly: "Do you think that the Lone King is cruel and unkind, and Your Majesty is so stupid?"

Ma Yin and others quickly apologized and apologized: "We have no intention of this, please make sure your highness clearly!"

Li Ye waved his hand and signaled Ma Yin and others to get up, and then said without rushing, "Huang Chao's rebellious soldiers plundered north and south, causing chaos in the world. Although this thief was killed early, the thiefs in the world took advantage of the situation to cause trouble in the chaos. As a military governor in a town, you have the merits of protecting the country and safeguarding the people, and they have no merits and hard work."

Speaking of this, Li Ye laughed: "Gao Ji is not wrong with this."

Ma Yin, Liu Yin and others looked at each other, not understanding the reason. But they also heard that Li Ye didn't seem to blame them.

Li Ye continued: "The war was going on for several years, and countless people were displaced. Now there is no war inside the pass, and most of the rioters have been executed. It is time to make the people stable. Just now, the orphans have already told Qian Lianzhi that since you were ordered to come to Chang'an to meet Your Majesty, it can be seen that you are still a little loyal to the court. If you can do things well in the future, the court will definitely be rewarded and punished strictly. Why worry about not being rich for life and being granted a wife and a son?"

Hearing this, Ma Yin and others were all overjoyed. It seemed that Li Ye had no intention of attacking them.

The meaning of not taking action is to preserve their current official position.

This is an unexpected good thing!

Li Ye's voice stopped and he watched everyone stop talking.

How did Ma Yin and others not know that Li Ye was giving them a chance to show their loyalty and hurriedly said: "We swear to be loyal to the court to the death and go through fire and water without hesitation, and we will never dare to have a second thought!"

Seeing this, Qian Liu couldn't sit down, so he followed him and said that he was also loyal.

Li Ye then nodded with satisfaction and continued: "There have been wars in various places and the people's livelihood is in decline, which is a misfortune of the dynasty. At present, the court must accumulate strength to calm the border and restore the dynasty's hegemony. In order to make the people of all prefectures and counties live and work more quickly, even though they are dull, they dare not do their best. Fortunately, there are some officials around me who can handle local military and political affairs, so let them assist you well. How about it?"

Ma Yin and others who were so happy just now were stunned when they suddenly heard Li Ye's words.

Li Ye understood what he meant very well. They could still be the governors or even the small princes in the country, but this was nominal, and the actual power must be controlled by the officials sent by Li Ye. Needless to think, the county chiefs will definitely be replaced, and many generals and schoolmen will come to the army.

The power of seizing power was a bit powerful, and Ma Yin and others were a little difficult to absorb for a while.

But I just said the words I had loyal to the court and Jue Wuerxin, so how can I regret it now?

After a moment of thinking, Ma Yin, Liu Yin and others realized that Li Ye’s failure to seize their position as governor was just a skill of power, in order to calm their troops and prevent them from becoming chaotic after they left the place.

Although Li Ye may not be afraid of this, as Li Ye said just now, now there are many troubles in the border areas, what he needs is rapid stability in the place, rather than busy going to quell the chaos everywhere.

Before Ma Yin could speak, Liu Yin said righteously: "Secret Guan Gong is the governor of Lingnan. He has always been worried that his virtues will not be cultivated, and that the people will not be able to live and work in peace. Now that King An sends good talents to help, it is the expectation of the people of Lingnan!"

Ma Yin's mouth twitched. The place in Lingnan was remote and there were border troubles in Nanzhao. He needed to rely on the power of the court. Moreover, the two of them had always been mortal enemies. As long as Liu Yin received the support of the court, he could suppress him.

Seeing Li Ye showing admiring eyes to Liu Yin and looking at the country's humerus, Ma Yin knew that he had no choice and immediately expressed his opinion: "The officials have the same idea as Liu Lianzun. As long as they can benefit the people and are good for the court, the officials will definitely not be willing to be the queen!"

It was not until Qian Liu and Zhao Xingyuan expressed his opinion that Li Ye said deeply: "There are good ministers like this in the dynasty who are so wise and wise, why worry about not being able to reappear in the prosperous era? What is needed most to govern the world is talents. If the people around you go to the place, the staff at the center of the court will appear embarrassed. As important officials of the dynasty, it is appropriate to recommend the wise. I wonder if you can recommend the good people?"

Ma Yin's body shook again. Could it be that Li Ye's words asked them to send their children to Chang'an as a qualifier?

This was originally a common method used by the imperial court to control officials from the border, which was really normal.

However, seeing Li Ye's eager anticipation and his open-minded look, Ma Yin knew that he had been wrong.

Li Ye did not ask them to send their children as a gift, but gave them an opportunity to expand the influence of the court. The person they recommended would naturally be their confidants. Once they reached the center of the court, their power would be able to respond to the court and the local area, and that would be stable.

This is an exchange, as an exchange for Li Ye to send officials to the local area to decentralize power. After all, it is to stabilize their hearts.

You don’t have to be polite at this time. The benefits are not available at any time. If you have them, you have to seize them quickly. Ma Yin hurriedly said: “Although Hunan is barren, the eight hundred miles of Dongting can also be called a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and a place with outstanding people and spiritual land. There are also a few wise men. I would like to recommend two to Your Highness.”

Unexpectedly, Li Ye shook his head and said, "The two are not enough. Although there are not many official positions in the imperial center, Your Majesty has recently planned to rebuild the Shence Army. In order to conquer the border areas and recover the Western Regions, the guards and horses must be re-summoned. You all have civil and military talents to recommend them, and neither I nor Your Majesty will be too many."

Ma Yin and Liu Yin couldn't help but look at each other.

The court re-summoned the sixteen guards, wasn’t it just to cut off the power of the vassal states?

Yes, since the establishment of the vassal states, they have divided the powers of the imperial court, and the rebellious soldiers have never stopped. The former military governors of the three towns in Hebei cannot ask about the court. How could Li Ye tolerate this?

The kings before could not change the situation, but now it is different. King An is in power, with all his powers under his command, many strategic men and women, and countless good generals and warriors. How can he not eliminate the current shortcomings?

Direct action against the vassal states will cause local dissatisfaction and inevitably lead to disasters. The most appropriate means are to use the title of rebuilding the Sixteen Guards and strengthening the central imperial guards to achieve the goal of strengthening the trunk and weakening the vassal states step by step.

Ma Yin and Liu Yin, two mortal enemies who had fought for several years, had a deep understanding of the links in an instant and understood the importance of expanding their influence in the Central Plains.

Before the court could make a news report, Li Ye told them that among the governors of the world, they would have the advantage. If the situation really develops like this in the future, they do not want to be mediocre in the local area and intend to serve in the court, then the foundation laid now will provide them with great convenience.

Thinking of this, the two of them felt a little grateful to Li Ye and quickly bowed and said, "I will definitely recommend more talents!"

Li Ye smiled and said with satisfaction: "You are really a pillar of the dynasty. If you support the country, why worry about not being able to revive the Tang Dynasty? Gu doesn't want to let the two return to the vassal states. How about assisting His Majesty with Gu in Chang'an?"

My heart skipped a beat, and Ma Yin, Liu Yin, Zhao Xingyuan and others immediately stiffened their limbs, as if they were falling into an ice cave.

Although they planned to serve in the central government in the future, that was the future! If they were not allowed to return to the vassal states at this time, the genius believed that they could gain real power in the court!

After all, Li Ye still has to "skin and cramp" them!

Ma Yin and others even wanted to cry.

Just as they were on their backs, Li Ye sighed and said solemnly: "There is now almost stability in all directions, and the court still needs to use your prestige to suppress Xiaoxiao. Although Gu really wants to work together with you to assist Your Majesty, his personal relationship is small, and his country is big, so you still have to return to the vassal state. Gu can only continue to fight alone."

Li Ye's words were quite melancholy, and they fell into the ears of Ma Yin, Liu Yin and others, but they were no different from the sound of nature.

They all wanted to nod and agree immediately, praising Li Ye's wise mind, but when they felt the sadness in Li Ye's words, they had to show off their helpless and sad appearance, lamenting that loyalty and righteousness are difficult to achieve.

Li Ye said again: "It is said that a tiger father has no dog son. You are so virtuous. I believe that the children and nephews in the family must be virtuous. I can't fight with you day and night. If you have your sons and nephews help you, you will definitely be much easier."

King An said so, what else can they say? They can only say that although they need to be in charge, they must not let King An fight alone for the country. Although the children in the family are not virtuous, it would be a blessing if they can work hard for King An for their sake.

So, the matter of protons was decided.

It’s not just that the men in the family are all appointed to Chang’an!

Because Li Ye said that he planned to report to His Majesty and appointed everyone as the Tongpingzhangshi. Having this title means that he is the prime minister and has no use in the local area, but if he thinks of Chang'an in the future, it will be very important.

——What reveals the secrets of weakening the vassal states in advance? It turns out that it is to lay the groundwork for this matter!

Ma Yin, Liu Yin, Zhao Xingyuan and others didn't know how they ended the matter and came out of Prince An's mansion.

It was not until they saw the bright sunshine outside that everyone realized that they had walked out of the door.

Thinking back to the result of paying a visit to King An today, I didn’t hand over my life, and it seemed that nothing had happened.

But they were all voluntary and reasonable, and no one could blame King An for bullying others with his power.

"You are so talented and wise!" Liu Yin sighed to the sky, and slowly walked towards his horse, with his back bleak.

Ma Yin shook his head, dispelled the dark clouds on his forehead, smiled bitterly, and followed him down the stone steps.

Zhao Xingyuan was confused and seemed to have not yet woken up.
