After Cui Huan finished speaking, the remaining five prime ministers looked at him coldly.
If there were players here, they would probably shout "Little Heizi shows his chicken feet".
Pei Mian knew that among his colleagues, there must be supporters of the prince, and sure enough, Cui Huan jumped out at this moment.
It's not unusual for Cui Huan to support the prince, but it's unusual for the prince to have no supporters in the political hall.
Just like Pei Mian turned to the King of Yue early on, the prime ministers of the Political Hall also had their own tendencies.
Li Lin was a member of the clan, he loved literature and luxury, he had great contributions in welcoming the Emperor back to Shu, he had the most aloof attitude, he was the least concerned about the succession of the throne, and he was even the least concerned with the government affairs of the Zhengshi Hall.
Miao Jinqing had entered the Political Affairs Hall during the emperor's reign. He was able to enter the Political Affairs Hall from a poor family. He was a smooth man and never took the initiative to express his thoughts in the Political Affairs Hall.
However, Miao Jinqing was also a capable minister. He started his official career as a county captain and served in almost six ministries. He was the most proficient in government affairs at the Zhengshitang and was considered a technical bureaucrat.
Miao Jinqing's position was to be loyal to the emperor, but he didn't care who sat on the throne.
He was a Jinshi during the emperor's period and served as an important minister under the emperor. However, after the emperor returned to Chang'an, he never visited Xingqing Palace once and never interacted with the emperor's cronies.
Pei Mian glanced at Zhang Hao. This prime minister from a poor family had the most straightforward character. In political affairs, he and the stable Miao Jinqing advanced and retreated together. Now the contradiction between the wealthy and poor families in the court has emerged. Officials from poor families are mostly replaced by powerful families.
Being bullied by officials from a wealthy family, Zhang Hao often supported officials from poor families. Pei Mian, who came from a wealthy family, was quite unhappy with this.
But if you don't like it, you don't like it. Zhang Hao is proficient in military affairs. Now he is planning the logistics of Guo Ziyi's army. Even if he offended the emperor before, Li Heng still held his nose and invited him back in order to fight.
After the King of Yue put forward the slogan of suppressing the rebellion, Zhang Hao was the most supportive, but he was more loyal than himself, the traitor.
This is a threat!
Pei Mian thought secretly.
Finally, there is Li Xian. Li Xian is a traditional Confucian minister.
When Li Xian was in charge of Dali Temple, he once interceded for the ministers who surrendered to the puppet Yan, and opposed the harsh policies of Cui Qi, the censor at that time.
Li Xian was a generous person in politics and a good old man in the political affairs hall. He had no position.
It seemed that Cui Huan had no other comrades. Pei Mian cleared his throat and said:
"Today I am the Prime Minister of Bingbi. Your Majesty does not see me waiting. At this time, I should still stick to my duty and not cause trouble to Chang'an."
"Everyone will stay in the Zhengshi Hall today. Let's seal the Zhengshi Hall seal first and wait until the situation in the palace becomes clear."
Li Lin, Li Xian, Miao Jinqing nodded in agreement, and Zhang Hao nodded after thinking about it.
When Cui Huan saw the result of five to one, he knew that the situation was over, so he could only sit down gloomily.
In the Tang Army's Xiangzhou camp, Li Fuguo had been feeling a little restless recently.
Nowadays, the war in Xiangzhou is raging. Although the coach Guo Ziyi is unwilling to negotiate peace with Shi Siming, Li Fuguo, through the Shence Army under his control, continues to hold back the army, actually causing the Tang army to stop.
Although Guo Ziyi lost his temper in the camp, there was nothing he could do about Li Fuguo.
Li Fuguo was really experienced in dealing with ministers like Guo Ziyi.
They have an almost foolish loyalty to the emperor, but this loyalty is only superficial.
Guo Ziyi could prove her innocence by committing suicide, and she was willing to give up her rights in the previous counter-insurgency, and even took the blame after the prince's reckless command of the army was defeated.
Being able to achieve this step is not so much that Guo Ziyi is loyal to the Tang Dynasty and the emperor, but rather that Guo Ziyi is loyal to the evaluation in the history books.
Guo Ziyi's contribution in leading the Tang army to suppress the rebellion was enough for Guo Ziyi to leave a mark in the history books.
Those heroes who founded the country were so capable, but Guo Ziyi didn't want to compete with them in terms of fighting ability, and she couldn't compete with them.
The only word that can be left in the history books is "loyalty".
Therefore, Li Fuguo understood Guo Ziyi's mentality very well. Although he fiercely opposed peace negotiations, if the emperor decreed peace negotiations, Guo Ziyi would not be able to go alone.
What's more, the Shence Army is also part of the current counter-rebellion army, and the Shence Army is in the hands of Li Fuguo.
Li Fuguo had followed Li Heng for so many years, so he naturally understood the emperor's thoughts very well.
The emperor would definitely accept Shi Siming's surrender.
Li Heng was definitely not a courageous monarch. When Lingwu ascended the throne, it was Li Mi and Du Hongjian who held him back, and Li Fuguo persuaded him before he ascended the throne tremblingly.
After he ascended the throne, Li Heng quickly sent an envoy to Shu to inquire about the emperor's attitude.
In other words, after being the emperor for a long time in these years, I can be considered to have some of the majesty of the emperor.
The emperor was in poor health, and his greatest wish was to put down the rebellion in Hedong and leave a reputation in the history books that surpassed that of the emperor.
Li Fuguo knew the emperor's wish, and Shi Siming's attitude this time was considered humble, and even the prime ministers of the Political Hall should be able to accept it.
Now Li Fuguo's biggest wish is naturally to return to Chang'an City as soon as possible.
When he left Chang'an, Li Fuguo had a secret agreement with Empress Zhang, and Li Fuguo also kept many of his own people around the emperor, and they were very well-informed about the news of the inner and outer court.
When leaving the capital, the emperor only had Yu Chaoen by his side.
Li Fuguo did not have a high opinion of Yu Chaoen, thinking that he was a non-threatening dog and could not threaten his status in the emperor's heart.
Li Fuguo had been in the palace for a long time and had a good eye for eunuchs. It was also because Yu Chaoen did not pose a threat to him that he stayed in the palace to serve the emperor.
If Yu Chaoen was a threat, Li Fuguo would have brought him to the front line long ago.
But against all odds, Li Fuguo still allowed Mu Rong to take over.
Before Li Fuguo left Chang'an, Mu Rong was still a middle-level eunuch who couldn't even enter the palace gate!
Why did Li Fuguo rise so rapidly after leaving Chang'an, and is now a personal eunuch accompanying the emperor!
The emperor also gave a certain east factory to Mu Rong to take care of, and he managed it quite well.
Li Fuguo could tolerate the mediocre Yu Chaoen beside the emperor, but he could not tolerate Mu Rong beside the emperor.
Now that Li Fuguo was eager to return home, he wanted to return to Chang'an immediately and find a way to drive Mu Rong away from the emperor!
Let him build the imperial tomb?
No, isn’t this giving this boy an advantage? Let him go to Lingnan to purchase palace tributes!
The more Li Fuguo thought about it, the more he wanted to end the war on the front line as soon as possible and return to Chang'an with the credit of pacifying Hedong!
At that time, as a general of the auxiliary country, I should be able to take another step, right?
It should be better than the Duke of Gao Lishi, right?
Li Fuguo couldn't help but sneered. Just now he was thinking about Guo Ziyi and the emperor. Wasn't he also pursuing an evaluation in history?
The title of the most powerful eunuch in history.
Li Fuguo felt more and more uneasy, but now that the fighting on the front line has gradually stopped, and the prince and King Qi have left Chang'an, nothing will happen in Chang'an, right?
Maybe?
How about sending someone to Chang'an to investigate?
Li Fuguo called his godson and asked him to return to Chang'an immediately to inquire about the situation, and then continued to arrange the Shence Army to hold back Guo Ziyi.
Inside Bianzhou City.
Bianzhou and Chang'an are closely connected, and events in Chang'an can be reported to Bianzhou within seven days. This is why the prince chose Bianzhou to be sent abroad.
Similarly, before leaving Chang'an, the prince also planted many informants in Chang'an, especially Prime Minister Cui Huan, who was the prince's biggest supporter in staying in Chang'an.
This time the new money law was implemented in Bianzhou, and his father even wrote a letter home to commend him. Li Chu was in a good mood.
As for the complaints of Bianzhou merchants and people, Li Chu naturally couldn't hear them. During these days, he was constantly sending gifts to the surrounding generals in an attempt to win over these military leaders to be loyal to him.
The Bianzhou veterans who had fought with Zhang Wu and now returned home were recruited by Li Chu with money and formed a United Army in Bianzhou.
Li Chu didn't have any talent to lead the army. He also wore a decent armor and went to review the United Army in Bianzhou, but he no longer had any interest in going to the military camp.
However, Li Chu has been in a bad mood recently. He advocated for peace talks with Shi Chaoyi and personally sent someone to send Luo Yue to Chang'an. Seeing that the matter was completed and he was able to gain a lot of points with his father and the ministers, he was
Two warriors, Zhang Wu and Nan Jiyun, got into trouble!
They actually killed the messenger they sent to announce the decree!
After hearing the news, Li Chu couldn't wait to rush to Qingzhou and kill Zhang Wu and Nan Jiyun!
If you rebel, this is blatant rebellion!
Li Chu wrote to the court, asking the court to punish Zhang Nan and his two men.
But an envoy from the north came to Li Chu's house, and Li Chu no longer resented Zhang Nan and the two, but secretly felt grateful to them.
The envoy's name was Li Baochen, who turned out to be An Lushan's adopted son. Later, he and Shi Siming were sent to Hedong by An Qingxu.
Now Li Baochen is a general under Shi Siming, and this time he brought Shi Siming's personal letter.
In the secret room of the Jiedushi Mansion in Bianzhou, Li Chu read Shi Siming's secret letter and looked at Li Baochen dressed as a merchant and asked:
"Shi Siming, oh no, General Shi wants to help me seize my legitimate son?"
Although Li Baochen was a military general, he was known in Hedong for his cunning and scheming, so Shi Siming also sent him as an envoy to secretly collude with Li Chu.
Shi Siming's personal and secret letter stated that he was willing to secretly seek refuge with Li Chu and help him recover and seize the throne in the future if there were any changes in Chang'an!
This condition made Li Chu take a deep breath. Military power was what he lacked most as a prince. The temptation of Shi Siming's proposal was too great!
