Chastity Layman

"Please make Concubine Wei Huangchen the empress."

Zhongshu Ling Li Yifu's memorial is well known in Luoyang, but what Luoyang soldiers and civilians are talking about is that the disgraced left servant who was just impeached by the censor not long ago shot Xu Jingzong, this time he also went up The table echoes and please make Webster as the latter.

As for the other four phases Cui Yixuan, Xue Yuanchao, Dou Dexuan and Wei Xuanzhen, they naturally agreed earlier.

I only listen to new people laughing, and sometimes old people cry.

In Luoyang Palace.

"At home, the commanders of the Privy Council have arrived."

Li Yin didn't raise his head, "Whose memorial?"

Now the Privy Council and Zhongshumen are called the Second Mansion and are in charge of military affairs. There are five chambers under the Political Affairs Hall, and twelve chambers under the Privy Council, which are even divided into upper and lower chambers, which are respectively led by the Privy Envoy and the Privy Council Affairs, and there are also Privy Council Deputy Envoys and Tongzhi Privy Council Affairs, and signed Privy Council Affairs and Colleagues. Several people who signed the Privy Council were deputy officials.

Li Ji was the privy envoy and led the upper court, Cheng Yaojin was the judge of the Privy Council and led the lower court, and Su Dingfang, Niu Jinda, Li Sheer, Li Heli, Qin Guozhong, and Li Sili were all deputy second.

"The privy envoy Li Ji, who knows the affairs of the Privy Council Cheng Yaojin and other commanders all have memorials."

Li Yin looked up.

"Present."

Open Li Ji's memorial first, it is indeed a memorial to the abolition of Su Liwei, Li Ji still has the same attitude, "This is the emperor's family business!"

Then look at Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Yaojin also expressed his attitude, saying that he supports the saint and obeys the will.

Looking at what Su Dingfang said, it was almost a rhetoric.

Li Yin put together the memorials of Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, Su Dingfang, Qin Guozhong and Li She'er, looking at this and that.

After a long time, he chuckled twice.

"It seems that Grand Master Qin has backed down again."

As military commanders, these five people are all of high military merit and high prestige in the army. Niu Jin Dajiu is in Liaodong, Cheng Yaojin has been guarding Youjin, Su Ding Fangyuan is in Mobei, and has been guarding the Korean peninsula all these years. .

Qin Guozhong and Li Sheer, the two Turkic county kings, were both the sons of Luo Khan in Turkic Chu. Although She'er doesn't call Qin Lang brother or brother, but there is that level of relationship, which is also a good relationship.

After generals such as Li Jing, Zhang Shigui, Duan Zhixuan, Yu Chigong, Chai Shao, Li Daozong, Xue Wanche, and Li Simo all died of old age, illness, or were imprisoned for being involved in rebellion cases, now there are more powerful fighters in the court with high qualifications and prestige. That's a dozen or so.

Five of them were closely related to Qin Lang, so Li Yin naturally did not dare to underestimate them.

He has been waiting for the military's statement, just like when he liquidated Changsun Wuji before, only when the military officially expressed its full support and support, did he really start.

Now, public opinion has almost been created, just waiting for the military's attitude.

The attitude of Li Ji and others was beyond his expectation, but the attitude of Cheng Su and the five handsome men surprised him a little. I thought that based on their relationship with Qin Lang, they would definitely fight after the abolition of Su Liwei, but they were so decisive.

After thinking about it for a while, he realized that Qin Lang probably had secretly communicated with them, and it might even be Qin Lang who persuaded them to make such a statement.

Abandon the pawns to save the car or a strong man cut off his wrist?

Qin Lang wanted to show his attitude, he had no intention of disobeying the emperor, and he didn't want to interfere in the big event of abolishing the empress or even Yi Chu? Even showed that he had no intention of being above the court?

But Li Yin didn't relax, and even frowned even tighter.

"Grand master, grand master."

Li Yin shook his head.

Qin Lang's influence was too strong, especially how he could have such influence over the military commanders, how could he make Li Yin feel at ease.

Su Dingfang was Qin Lang's protégé, Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda were Qin Qiong's life-and-death friends, Qin Guozhong and Li She'er brothers had a close relationship with the Qin family.

Let’s go down a little bit from these generals, those generals who can fight in those years, such as Cheng Chumo, Niu Jianhu, Xue Rengui, Liu Rengui, Liang Jianfang, Gao Kan, Xi Junmai, Wang Xuance, etc., are all called Qinmen’s disciples .

Even though Qin Lang had been away from the center for many years, Li Yin felt uneasy when the memorials of the generals came up.

"My Li family's world, is the grand master in charge?"

Previously, Li Yin succeeded to the throne, but Changsun Wuji was the real head of the family. It took him more than ten years to completely wipe out Changsun Wuji's party, and finally regained power. Unexpectedly, Qin Lang was not in the court. However, it still has such influence.

"At home, the Privy Council has submitted another memorial."

"Um?"

Li Yin looked at the memorials in front, what else?

The servant once again presented the Privy Council Memorial.

The one at the front is that of Su Dingfang, who was a member of the Privy Council and was also in charge of the North Korean Economic Strategy Propaganda Envoy. Su Dingfang's memorial just now expressed his loyalty and support for the emperor, but this is a resignation.

Please resign Tongzhi's post in the Privy Council. The reason is that it is impossible to take care of the Privy Council's duties while guarding North Korea, so please resign. At the same time, Su Dingfang also thought that North Korea was now stable, so he believed that there was no need for the imperial court to continue to set up Xuanfu economic strategy envoys, and asked to withdraw them.

Looking at the memorials of Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda, they are also rhetoric.

"Advance by retreat, or use this as a threat to me?"

Li Yin stared at these memorials, pinched his chin and pondered, the rhetoric of several Privy Council commanders was of course unusual. If there is no previous supportive memorial, Li Yin will be furious just looking at these few rhetoric, thinking that they are taking the opportunity to blackmail them.

But now, he is also a little puzzled.

But there was one thing that made him sure, that is, the seals of the five of them were delivered at the same time, revealing that they acted in unison, which must have been connected in advance.

This is taboo.

However, Li Yin has to deal with these military commanders with high qualifications and prestige carefully. This is no better than dealing with Laiji or Cui Dunli. Even if they are prime ministers, it is not too troublesome for the emperor to deal with them. Privy secretaries are in power, especially the border commander who is still leading the army on the frontier, so he has to be careful.

"Call Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong to come."

Li Yin did not call the other four prime ministers, because although they were more obedient, they were not as capable as Li Xu.

The two entered the palace.

Li Yin threw the two batches of memorials before and after the Privy Council to the two of them.

"how?"

Li Yin asked while holding a teacup.

Xu Jingzong chose his words carefully, "Your Majesty is wise, and all the generals in the army will support him."

Li Yin looked at Li Yifu.

"I think so."

"Cheng Niu and the other commanders really guarded the frontier when they came here, and they really can't take care of the affairs of the Privy Council because they are away from Beijing for a long time. They are not competent, and it is normal for them to resign."

But the emperor just shook his head.

Li Yifu hurriedly said again, "The war in the east is over, why don't you call a few generals back to the court, and return to the Privy Council to take charge of the military affairs."

The emperor still shook his head.

At this time Xu Jingzong spoke up.

"First accept the resignations of several marshals, remove their posts in the Privy Council, and then transfer to other less peaceful border areas, for the stability of the Tang Dynasty, and continue to play a pillar role."

As soon as Xu Jingzong said this, Li Yin nodded.

If it is just the dismissal of the Privy Council, then these commanders are still at the border and still commanding the army, which may irritate them, just in case.

But if he is removed from the post of border commander and recalled to the Privy Council, Li Yin is not at ease.

Now Xu Jingzong proposes to remove them from the Privy Council first, and then make a big switch, leaving the border area that these marshals have been guarding for a long time, and switching to other border areas. In this way, the soldiers will be separated from their old subordinates , even if they still have some ideas, but after leaving the old confidants and going to the unfamiliar new frontier area, it will be difficult to pose any threat.

The most important point is that North Korea, Youjin, and Liaodong are all located in the northern coastal areas, and Qin Lang, the grand master whom the emperor fears the most, whose Lu Song is in the South China Sea, is all coastal areas. Time, then they can be connected from north to south and echo each other, which is what the emperor is most worried about.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, always be afraid of just in case.

"Duke Cheng Yaojin of the State of Jialu moved from the first-rank hussar general to the left guard general, and was transferred to Qinghai Road Xuanfu economic envoy."

"Jiayue State Bull Niu Jinda is the second-rank assistant state general, moved to the position of Zuo Wuwei General, and transferred to Guizhou Zhongdao Xuanfu Jinglue."

"Jiaxing Guogong Su Dingfang started from the rank of general of the second-rank town army, and Zuo Xiaowei was the general of the army. He transferred Shuofang Dao to Xuanfu Jinglue."

"Li She'er, King of Guide County, Jia Fuguo General, Youwei General, Tiaonan Dao Xuanfu Jinglue envoy."

"Qin Guozhong, king of Huaihua County, plus General Hushi, General You Xiaowei, Tiaomengchi, Kunling Xuanfu Jinglue envoy."

······

From North Korea, Liaodong, Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Mobei to Qinghai, Guizhou, Shuofang, Hunan, and the Western Regions, even the positions have changed. Duties such as the governor or the governor of the governor's office guard one side.

Now it is awarded the title of Xuanfu Economic and Strategic Envoy, which is far from the title of the chief executive of the camp during the war, or the title of the chief governor when he was stationed.

"What if they don't follow the edict?" Li Yin asked again.

Although this possibility is very small, Li Yin knows that it is not impossible. Before issuing this transfer order, he must consider any possible consequences and make a plan in advance.

Li Yifu gritted his teeth.

Qin Qiong and Qin Lang are his benefactors, but now that they are in this official position, there are some things that must be chosen.

"If you dare to resist the order and don't obey it, you are planning to commit crimes. You can kill them on the spot, cut them first and then play them."

Li Yin turned to look at Xu Jingzong.

"Your Majesty can first send envoys in the name of condolences to the border town, and first announce the secret decree to one or two generals in the border town who are loyal to His Majesty and the court, and then call Cheng Niu and others to read the official transfer order. Directly order the generals who accept the secret order to behead him or arrest him and send him to Beijing."

Li Yin nodded.

Xu Jingzong was indeed more sophisticated, and he had thought of everything and made all preparations.

No matter how prestige Cheng Yaojin and others are in the army, they can't be all his confidantes in a town. As long as they are prepared in advance, there is no room for Cheng Yaojin and others to resist in case.

"Okay, let's do as you please."
