Chapter 470: Following Suzong’s example, Lingwu ascends the throne
While walking, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves ahead, and then the sound of Yang Sanqiang sounded.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Fang is here, and he is accompanied by General He Zhen."
Zhang Yangquan ordered the carriage to stop and opened the curtain. After a while, he saw Fang Yuan and He Zhen coming outside the carriage.
"The last general, He Zhen, pays homage to His Majesty! The rebellion in Guangdong has been put down, and the rebels have been taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The last general is here to return his orders!"
Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work, General He. You all can get in the car and talk."
The two agreed and got into the carriage together.
Zhang Yangquan said: "Let's set off." The carriage drove slowly again.
When Zhang Yangquan asked about the counter-insurgency situation, He Zhen talked about the three battles lightly, and then said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, there is someone behind this rebellion!"
Zhang Yangquan's eyes widened: "Who is it?"
"King Liang of Yunnan!"
Prince Yuan was animated and said calmly: "Not yet?"
That afternoon, Prince Yuan summoned all the officials and ordered the generals to expand the area and lock it up. Guan Bao and other young generals were invited over, obviously to decide on some small matter.
Kuo Kuo said: "During the Tang Dynasty, Ha Cizhang fled to Shu, obviously giving up the country. Both the government and the public needed no one to stand up against the rebels, so when Suzong of the Tang Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he could gain the support of everyone!"<
/p>
The prince said happily: "That's right, everything depends on the marshal!"
"Why do I approve of your ascension to the throne?"
Zhang Yangquan nodded and said: "When we regain Yunnan in the future, we need to pay attention to the Duan family!"
Bai Suozhu suddenly said: "If we wait and see what happens, maybe the situation will undergo new changes!"
Prince Yuan's eyes flashed brightly again, and he said: "Maybe I am too relieved. Since Marshal Zhangjiu feels that it is suitable for him to ascend the throne, this matter will not be mentioned for the time being."
Zhang Yangquan's eyes flashed: "The Duan Gong he is talking about is Xiaoli Duan?"
"You're absolutely right!"
Ming Yuzhen whispered: "I would like to support you and ascend the throne!"
The corners of the prince's eyebrows twitched and he said, "Oh, tell me, what are the differences?"
Mu'er said: "Yes, when the Duan family usurped the power of Nanzhao and established Xiaoli, the country was destroyed by the Mongols. The first generation monarch Duan Xingzhi was named the first general manager of Xiaoli by the Yuan Dynasty, and Duan Gong was the tenth generation general manager!
”
The prince pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "That's true, I can only say that this person has no selfish intentions, but he is loyal to you, Xiao Yuan, and has seven hearts!"
"What did you find in the palace?" the first minister on the right asked.
Ming Yuzhen hummed: "Looking at it this way, this person is even more reusable! You see, Guan Bao is wrong. He cannot transfer military power to me in the future!"
Kuo Kuo said in a deep voice: "To be honest, when Your Majesty dealt with the rebels, it was not an accurate choice to appoint Prime Minister Tuotuo, my late father and others to suppress the bandits. It was a small mistake."
Another old official echoed: "It's wrong. Guan Piaoqing indulged in pleasure and appointed Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and other treacherous ministers, which caused chaos in the imperial court. The sky is peaceful, just like our majesty."
The prince interrupted: "I know this because I suspect that Marshal Kuo Kuo's military ability is inferior to that of Polo. In addition, he has no strength advantage. If we can use clever tactics to defeat this man and subdue my troops, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
?"
Mu'er said: "I heard news that Duan Gong was in love with He Zhen's man, Princess Agai. Before Duan Gong regained Kunming, He Zhen married Princess Agai to Duan Gong!"
The prince's face turned cold and he said: "He should also know what Polo did in Xiaodu!"
The prince said: "Ambition?"
Ming Yuzhen whispered: "It was the prince of the Tang Dynasty who ascended the throne in Lingwu and assembled a group of loyal ministers and generals who finally defeated the traitors!"
Prince Yuan turned to Guan Bao and said, "What does General Guan think?"
Kuakuo was silent for a while, then performed a Mongolian etiquette and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. The situation in front of me is not the same as that of the Tang Dynasty!"
The private garden chapel was renovated, became narrower, and became a court hall for everyone to discuss matters.
Zhang Yangquan frowned and said, "Did Ming Yuzhen conquer Yunnan?"
This person is Tuo Tuo's eldest son, named Ming Yuzhen. He grew up with Prince Yuan and is now the most trusted person around him.
"Yes, there are several Tu tribes in Guangdong who migrated from Yunnan. The King of Liang used those Tu tribes to spread rumors and take the lead in provoking troubles, which triggered this civil strife!"
Fang Yuan interjected: "General He, Yunnan is located in a remote area, and an attack is of little use. At present, the Northern Expedition must be our top priority!"
The prince said anxiously: "As you said, my problem is selfishness. I am willing to fight with Polo, not worried about losing both sides and causing damage to my own strength!"
"To think that Duan was so loyal to Yuan Ting!" Zhang Yangquan touched his nose.
Prince Yuan said calmly: "No matter what, we can always stay in Jining. Marshal Kuo Kuo, I hope you can defeat King Polo Tie Liang and take back the small capital."
Ming Yuzhen advised: "Your Majesty, this is the time to employ people, so you must be too suspicious!"
Zhang Yangquan knew that Guan Piao was eager for his meritorious service and wanted to be knighted, so he said: "Well, General He, he will return to Guangdong immediately to collect information on Yunnan and survey and map the map. When you attack Yunnan in the future, you appoint him as the vanguard!"
The prince frowned and said: "Those two people came from Jiangdu Mansion, I am not worried at all!"
Guan Bao showed a firm look and said loudly: "The general is just a warrior, and it all depends on the palace!"
Kuai Kuo showed hesitation and said: "Your Majesty, you just said that both you and Polo will suffer..."
All the ministers said in unison: "I am not guilty!"
Guan Piao sighed secretly and said: "Yes, the general will know."
When Ming Yuzhen heard me praise her father, she didn't praise her anymore.
Kuo Kuo thought for a moment and said, "I understand. Tomorrow I will mobilize my troops to retreat eastward. As long as I find a flaw in Polo, I will attack with all my strength!"
"Yes, time is running out. Send people back to Xiaodu immediately, bribe the people around my father, and use words to instigate them to make my father and me fall out as soon as possible!"
Ming Yuzhen whispered: "Today, Your Majesty is licentious and has lost the hearts of the people. All the ministers are looking forward to the appearance of Lord Ming. What's the difference?"
Qin Lingjun suddenly said: "Didn't Ming Yuzhen lead the troops to attack Yunnan? Do you have any relevant news?"
Prince Yuan said: "I suddenly discovered that the situation in front of me is very similar to that of Ha Cizhang in the Tang Dynasty in his later years!"
Prince Yuan said: "This King of Shandong doesn't have any low opinion?"
……
Jining Road, Yangqu County.
He Zhen said: "That's not true. The King of Liang asked Duan Gong, the general manager of Xiaoli, for help. Duan Gong led 80,000 troops to support him and defeated the pursuing Xia army in Guantan. He came and marched straight in to recover Huideng Pass and Yixing Pass.
The Xia army suffered heavy losses, entered and exited Kunming, and returned to Qichuan."
He expanded and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Kuan Kuo said: "Your Majesty is too fond of Polo and too fond of the rebel army. If we have a small fight with Polo, even if we can win, it will be a miserable victory. Then we will be able to deal with the rebel army!"
"I am about to report!" He Zhen said in a deep voice: "Ming Yuzhen's troops divided into three groups and marched directly to Kunming. King Liang was defeated and fled to Weichu, and Kunming fell!"
This person’s name is Zheng Shen, and he is the prince’s Sinology teacher.
Before the court meeting began, all civil servants and generals came in. Only Guan Piaoqing followed the prince to the front garden.
The rest of the ministers came out one after another and voiced their support. However, the generals in the army all looked at King Kuo Kuo Tie Liang. When they saw me moving, no one said anything.
Ming Yuzhen hurriedly said: "Then go and select people! By the way, Bolo Shihua and Yahansha have just joined Your Majesty Shijiu, so they should be easier to win over. What do you think?"
"Xiaodu?"
Mu'er hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, since there is no Northern Expedition, why send troops to attack Yunnan? You only need to give the last general a hundred thousand troops, and the last general will definitely attack Yunnan for you!"
Yunnan is still under the control of the Yuan Dynasty. King Liang is a descendant of the fifth son of Kublai Khan and controls Yunnan.
Before retreating into the water pavilion, Ming Yuzhen said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, Kuanjiu is very ambitious and can be reused!"
The prince said: "What he said is right, let him arrange it. In addition, we can't start with the concubines around our father. Those men hate King Bolote Liang very much, and they are also bad targets to win over!" p>
Zheng Shen followed: "Old minister seconded the suggestion!"
Prince Rere said: "This person is so arrogant and has no taboos. He completely ignores my father. After a long time, my father will be able to tolerate me!"
Yangqu County is the administrative center of Jining Road. There is not a single garden in the county. It was originally the private garden of the largest wealthy businessman in Jining. After being noticed by Prince Yuan, he became my temporary palace.
Prince Yuan said anxiously: "During the An-Shi Rebellion, the rebels were so aggressive that they almost reached Chang'an and forced the emperor to flee. Do they know how the Tang Dynasty finally suppressed the rebellion?"
"That's right. I wanted you to ascend the throne. I didn't want to control you so that I could continue to grow my strength and prepare for future rebellions!"
Zhang Yangquan was stunned: "Is it him?"
Expanded silence is the word, the situation in front of you really makes people retreat.
"Your Majesty is wise, I will do it now!"
The prince said calmly: "You have no sense of proportion. Now that you can break the situation, you can hope to expand your horizons. You need to start from a young age!"
Guan Piaoqing's eyes lit up: "So we wait?"
Prince Yuan sighed: "I have been studying history books recently and wanted to know where the problem lies, and I accidentally discovered something!"
Prince Yuan was sitting under a newly built dragon chair. When he saw the civil and military officials gathered, he coughed and said, "It's Ning who is here today. There are seven bandits and soldiers. My father indulges in pleasure, appoints treacherous ministers, and the imperial court is in chaos, which has led to this.
The palace was exiled to Quyang County!"
Prince Yuan stared at Kuakuo and said hurriedly: "General Kuokuo, Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty has just continued the Li Tang Dynasty without the help of Guo Ziyi. Is he willing to be my Guo Ziyi?"
Mu'er was so happy that she cupped her hands and said, "The last general will take your orders!"
Ming Yuzhen held her head high and said loudly: "Yes!"
He expanded and said: "Your Majesty does not have the support of King Bolote Liang and has only 700,000 troops. Even if you ascend the throne, Bolote Guanpiao will join you, which will only make the court more united!"
Guan Piaoqing's eyes lit up and he said: "What the palace said is true. Xuanzong was in a coma in his later years, and that's when the Anshi Rebellion broke out, which is exactly the same as the Red Turban Rebellion before his eyes!"
Prince Yuan said: "King Polo Tie Liang is a rebellious minister and a traitor. Before I ascend the throne, my first priority is not to lead the troops to eliminate this person and eliminate the civil strife! Is it bad to concentrate on suppressing the traitor before that?"
Prince Yuan slapped the table and said: "You have come to Yangqu with me, and you are very loyal. You have not enlarged the marshal's profile, and locked up the generals and other generals who are good at fighting. How can you imitate the sages and ascend the throne in Yangqu?
