When the messenger runs month after month and day after year, he doesn't feel tired at all.
He is a very conscientious person and knows what his strengths are: he is courageous, can observe people's emotions, and is eloquent, but he is not very good at other things.
In today's world, it is not easy to find a well-paying and decent job, and he cherishes it very much.
Pingkangfang has been really undercurrent lately.
A few days ago, I met Jinzou Guan from Heyang Town in a wine shop. After a few glasses of wine, the two of them became brothers.
Heyang Town has no enmity with the Dingnan Army in the first place, and there is Hezhong Town between them, so there is no need to speak so openly.
Heyang's current position is rather embarrassing. The territory is occupied by Zhu Quanzhong, and his general Ding Hui leads his army to stay behind. However, the official Jiedushi is still Li Hanzhi, and Li Hanzhi is the governor of Zezhou appointed by Li Keyong.
He hid in Jincheng and "remotely led" the Heyang Jiedushi.
This official didn't know who to listen to. It didn't matter at first. Whoever paid him would listen to him. The problem was that no one paid him, so it became difficult.
At this time, the memorial officer also talked about how Meng Fangli's general Xi Zhongxin led an army of 30,000 troops to attack Liaozhou, but was killed and defeated. Xi Zhongxin was also captured and sent to Jinyang. Between words, he was probably still optimistic about Li Keyong.
I want to hear from Li Hanzhi.
Afterwards, I drank wine with the Jinzou officer from Western Zhejiang (Zhen Haijun) and talked about the war between Qian Liu and Zhang Xiong of Suzhou.
In fact, there was nothing to talk about. Li Hang was not very interested in any of this. He just habitually inquired for information so that he could reflect his own value when reporting to the commander after returning.
"Prince Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I want to congratulate you on your promotion." In a private house with an unremarkable appearance, Li Hang congratulated the eunuch Liu Jishu who was sitting inside.
"Brother Li, please take a seat quickly." Liu Jishu stood up quickly and greeted him with a smile.
Liu Jishu was originally the Imperial Food Envoy and had always been in front of the emperor. He was recently promoted to serve as the Youshen Ce Army Envoy and was in charge of military discipline. He could be said to have real power.
"Prince Liu, I want to inquire about something today. Recently, there have been rumors spreading among the towns in the memorial hall that the saint has been in bed for many days. Is this news true?" Li Hang asked directly after sitting down, without wasting any time.
"It's true." Liu Jishu nodded and said, "I get up and move around sometimes, so I don't have to stay in bed all day long."
Liu Jishu was the imperial food envoy before, so of course he knew everything about the emperor's situation.
"Why is this so?" Li Hang asked.
Liu Jishu was a little embarrassed and could only say vaguely: "I was frightened."
Li Hang stroked his beard, pondered for a while, and asked: "But that time in Zhaoyang Palace?"
Liu Jishu nodded silently.
Li Hang frowned and felt a little angry. The troubles caused by these middle-ranking officials could not ruin the important affairs of the Lingwu County Prince.
"There is no crown prince yet..." Li Hang added, while staring at Liu Jishu's face, as if he wanted to see something.
"It is indeed not established yet."
"Prince Liu, it's time now, so don't play riddles."
"King Bao of Ji is a long-lived and virtuous man, and all his ministers are expected to do so." Liu Jishu had no choice but to reveal.
Li Hang understood immediately.
Ji Wang Li Bao, who was older and had a reputation as a virtuous man, was highly appreciated by all officials in Nanya.
But the opinions of Nanya officials are useless, on the contrary, they will do bad things! At a time when the dispute between Nanya and Northern Division is intensifying, if Nanya wants to establish King Ji, then Northern Division will appoint someone else, such as Longevity King Li Jie, and Nanya is going against it.
"Thank you very much, Palace Supervisor Liu, for revealing the truth. I will report the truth to the King of Lingwu County. Please remember your benefits." Li Hang cupped his hands and said.
Liu Jishu immediately smiled brightly and said, "It's just a small matter, it's just a small matter."
"That's right." Just when Li Hang was about to get up and leave, he turned back to Liu Jishu and said: "Prime Minister Zhang Jun came to ask for a favor yesterday, and I have already agreed. This month's suburban festival, the four nobles of the Northern Division will not wear the prime minister's court uniform. The official uniform of the guard is enough. The Palace Supervisor Ximen has agreed to this matter. I don’t want to run away anymore, but I happened to meet you today, so I will tell Lieutenant Luo on my behalf. There is no such case in the country."
Liu Jishu hesitated, obviously he didn't know the news yet.
"Prince Liu!" Li Hang increased his voice.
"I will report to Lieutenant Luo." Liu Jishu was excited and responded quickly.
Li Hang nodded, feeling somewhat proud.
These eunuchs are tough but not soft, sometimes you have to scare them. The feeling of a fox pretending to be a tiger's power is really good!
After leaving this temporary meeting place, Li Hang made seven or eight turns and returned to the Dingnan Army Jinzouyuan.
After Zhao Guangyin passed the Jinshi examination, he did not even bother to serve as a court official. He was directly appointed as the Jinzou officer by Shao Shude. He just took office this month to replace his predecessor who resigned due to old age.
"Official Zhao, today I went to see Liu Jishu and learned that the saint was indeed ill. King Ji Bao was a virtuous man and was highly regarded by the people in the South Government, but this destined him to have no hope of becoming a great treasure. It is very likely that the officials in the North Division were Let Wang Jie be the crown prince. This matter is important and we must continue to pay attention to it." Li Hang sat in front of the stove and said.
A pot of wine was warming on the stove, and a few dishes of side dishes were placed on the table.
"What impact will this matter have on our army?" Zhao Guangyin is also a smart man, and he directly thought of the most critical point.
"It will be Shuofang Town from now on." Li Hang said with a smile: "Shuofang Jiedu Envoy and Hexi Observer Envoy, the commander-in-chief's planning has taken another big step forward."
"The Northern and Southern Offices have been fighting over each other, but I don't know what the name of the fight is. Li Biejia used this skill of four or two thousand pounds, and he used it very cleverly, and he got the thing done immediately. It was obvious to him." Zhao Guangyin fell for Li Hang. I had a bowl of wine and advised.
Li Hang didn't refuse, picked up the bowl and took a big sip.
It was just asking the officials of the Northern Division to give up wearing the prime minister's court uniforms for commemoration in the suburbs. This seemed to him a very meaningless thing, but the officials of the Southern Ya government took it very seriously, as if it was a big deal. Maybe he was not a court official, I can't understand them.
"The matter of establishing the crown prince may not be that fast. The middle-ranking officials will not take any serious action until the last moment, lest King Shou become the target of the officials or something unexpected happens." Li Hang said: "As for the relationship with us, It's hard to say what the relationship is. I don't know Prince Shou either, so Zhao Di should pay more attention to him."
"You can save it." Zhao Guangyin replied.
"Zhang Jun, I think, is not a peaceful person. After chatting for an hour yesterday, I was able to tell some truths." Li Hang added: "This person is passionate about fame and fortune, talks big, and has an unruly personality. There was a lot of jealousy towards Wei Zhaodu for leading his army into Shu, and I felt that maybe he should imitate his example and lead his troops on an expedition."
Zhao Guangyin was a little surprised and asked: "Where can he conquer?"
"I don't know, but I just saw that there are signs of this. This person is extremely passionate about military power. How can he command the army if he doesn't go out to fight?" Li Hang shook his head and said: "As long as he doesn't be stupid and cause trouble in the pass. Others, even if he goes. The expedition against Zhu Quanzhong and Li Keyong has nothing to do with us."
Zhao Guangyin laughed when he heard this. The court officials should not be so stupid. They want to send troops to conquer Xuanwu and Hedong. It is difficult to deal with such a big town.
After chatting about the business, the two chatted about romantic matters and drank all the pot of wine, feeling very happy.
The next day, Li Hang wandered around Pingkangfang again, mainly visiting brothels. Don't get me wrong, this was for work, not for anything else.
Many of his news were obtained here. Officials from various towns who entered the imperial court liked to hold banquets here to entertain envoys from their towns. For example, he found out today that Zhu Quanzhong's general Zhu Zhen led his army Five thousand, he escorted Liu Zan, the governor of Chuzhou appointed by him, to his appointment. However, he was blocked by Shi Pu, the military governor of Wuning, and was not allowed to pass through.
Chuzhou, Huainan Town is also a state. Zhu Quanzhong was originally the military envoy of Huainan. He had been fighting Qin Zongquan before and had no time to deal with Huainan affairs. Now that he has withdrawn his troops, he sent one of his subordinate officials to take up the post to test the waters.
Zhu Quanzhong sent Li Fan, the shogunate's marching commander, to Huainan before, but was attacked by Shi Pu once, and was stopped again this time. However, Zhu Zhen was prepared and sent troops to attack, captured two counties, captured and killed more than 10,000 people.
This Guandong is too chaotic!
After Li Hang left Pingkangfang, he went to Datong Horse Racing and collected some information, and then returned all the way to Xiazhou.
On November 23, Shao Shude, who had just held a ceremony to worship heaven in Yinshan, met with Li Hang.
"Shou Wang Li Jie..." Shao Shude started pacing in the room again.
Of course he knew that King Shou was the future Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty. The pros and cons of King Ji becoming emperor and the pros and cons of Prince Shou becoming emperor must be carefully considered one by one.
What does he need the court to do most now?
The answer is: Let the imperial court commit suicide, which will be a great disappointment and a great loss of strength.
Is this useful?
The answer: It's somewhat useful, but it won't completely ruin the imperial court.
What will happen if King Ji comes to power?
The answer is: I don’t know, but King Shou has a strong personality, w;w;;;. He is very impulsive, and he seems a bit unable to see the situation clearly.
Will it cause fire and cause King Shou to target Lingxia?
The answer is: Of course, the imperial court must have a reason to attack a feudal town. It will not attack a feudal town without any reason when nothing has happened. At least there must be strong soldiers and horses from other towns to cooperate.
So, the matter is very clear. When King Ji comes to power, nothing may happen, and the court continues to stand half-dead. But when King Shou comes to power, with his character, it is likely to cause some trouble. After all, King Shou comes to power.
History has "proven" itself.
"Let's not interfere in the matter of establishing a prince." Shao Shude finally made up his mind and said.
To interfere with the succession of the throne, as far as outer towns are concerned, only the nearby Guanzhong vassal town is possible. If Shao Shude decides not to intervene, then given the current situation of Nanyabei Division, there is absolutely no possibility that King Ji will ascend the throne.
"Li Biejia, thank you for your hard work. The twelfth lunar month is approaching, so go home and rest first." Shao Shude said with a smile, "The imperial decree comes faster than you."
"The commander-in-chief is saying..." Li Hang guessed.
"Now a certain person has become the governor of Shuofang, and he is also observing the west of Hexi."
"Congratulations, Marshal." Li Hang immediately stood up and congratulated.
"Haha, it's something that was expected. The four towns have merged into one, but now there are three less official positions. Li, Song, and Sun. I don't know why they are slandering me." Shao Shude joked.
"The commander-in-chief can appoint him as deputy envoy, and he will still control the three places."
Shao Shude smiled and said nothing, already thinking in his mind: How will Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong react after hearing this? How will the soldiers and civilians in the town react after hearing this?
