August 15th, the fifth year of Qianfu.

August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion day, a grand festival of the Tang Dynasty.

Although it was wartime under the city of Liaodong, during such festivals, the Prince Andong still ordered the entire army to suspend military operations, and each army had three days off. The logistics department of the camp also sent various wine and meat rewards prepared early to each army and battalion. In addition to receiving wine and meat, all the soldiers also issued a set of military dresses for each person, plus 5,000 yuan of banknotes for each person. In addition, tea, fruit, canned food, mouth fat, facial fat, etc.

At the same time, the camp also ordered a military parade inspection ceremony to be held during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and a series of ceremonies such as flag awarding, medal awarding, promotion, and reward will be held.

These grand ceremonies were originally planned to return to Dengzhou after the conquering Goguryeo, and held a hundred years ago in the Victory Square of Xindengzhou. However, now, the camp suddenly ordered that it would be held under the city of Liaodong. The camp had sent dozens of cavalry to all the sixteen prefectures to send all the county magistrates, prefects governors, and six civil servants of the sixteen prefectures to come, and command officers above the camp of the war soldiers of each prefecture, unite the officers at the wing level and above of the military township army to attend the military parade and award ceremony as quickly as possible.

Since the early morning, in addition to a small number of troops responsible for the guards, 100,000 auxiliary soldiers from the battle near Liaodong City, plus more than 200,000 recruited civilians, began to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in a camp that stretched for fifty miles on the bank of the Liao River.

The military and civilians in the camp celebrated the festival, but the atmosphere was a little nervous in the camp of the central army.

After Zhang Tai announced the imperial edict to Li Jing and announced their new promotion and appointment to other civil and military generals in the town, the atmosphere in the entire Central Army camp began to become a little nervous, loose on the outside but tight on the inside.

Now Zhang Tai and his party of imperial envoys were all arranged in the tent of the Central Military Camp. Although Li Jing calmly accepted the order, Zhang Tai and others' actions were restricted. Except for Li Jing sent someone to invite them to have a meal together every day, he could only stay in the tent for the rest of the time, and could not go anywhere and no one could see him.

According to Zhou Dewei, the leader of the Jinjia Shengjie Army, the place is in a wartime state and is under the city of Liaodong, so they must protect the security of the superiors.

Zhang Tai knew very well that Li Jing did not kill him on the spot when he heard the edict. It was already the benefit of his cooperative relationship with Li Jing for several years. If Tian Lingzi had not said in front of the emperor that he and Li Jing were the best rebellion, he would be the most suitable to serve as the official of the imperial edict. He would not have been willing to come no matter what.

After cutting the vassal states, Zhang Tai sat leisurely in the tent while drinking tea and reading books. However, although he was holding the book, he did not turn the pages of the book in the morning. In fact, he had never read the contents of the book at all. He was calm on the surface, but his heart was overwhelming.

He was guessing Li Jing’s next reaction!

He never thought that Li Jing was a true loyal minister who was a patriotic country. In fact, he believed that no one with Li Jing's current power could easily give up the power in his hands.

Regardless of whether Li Jing himself wanted to do so, he had already reached such a delicate position now.

With such credit and power, Li Jing is now truly awesome.

Under thirty years old, he was already a noble minister. He was a king of a different surname, and he was a commander of Zhenjie, holding 200,000 soldiers. Seeing that Goguryeo was about to be destroyed by Li Jing, and he made such great contributions, what would the court give to rewards? Could it be that Li Jing was granted the title of Yizi King? But now Li Jing is less than thirty years old. If he is granted Yizi King, what would he give to rewards next?

Regardless of whether Tian Lingzi's advice or not, the court would inevitably reduce Li Jing's vassals, which is an inevitable result.

And at this point, he didn't think Li Jing had any other choice.

If Li Jing agrees to reduce the power of the vassal states and hand over the military rights, then Li Jing will not have a good end.

No matter how you look at it, Li Jing has only one way to go, that is rebellion.

Perhaps the emperor believed that Li Jing was loyal and would hand over the army in his hands and allow the court to move.

But when Tian Lingzi and Lu Xie proposed this plan, they must have known the next development. They knew that Li Jing could make and that they would still be so, so they would have made up their minds to force Li Jing to rebel.

Maybe Li Jing is very powerful, but they must have expected that the court will eventually destroy Li Jing.

The Shatuo people were also very powerful at the time, but they were also wiped out by the court. In addition, the three towns in Hebei, Huaixi Town, Shandong East Road, and Ziqing Pinglu, the separatist vassal states were all destroyed by the court.

Tian Lingzi asked him to come to Liaodong to issue an order, obviously he wanted to kill someone with a knife.

Although Li Jing received the order, it is impossible for him to leave immediately according to the current situation.

The court transferred Zheng Congxian, Cui Anqian, and Zhang Zimian to replace Li Jing's position, but they had to mobilize troops and horses, and then prepared food and grass. Calculated it, it took as fast as one month, and it took two months to arrive later.

During the past two months, Li Jing was still the commander of the entire town, and still commanded 200,000 troops.

Li Jing had too many things to do. He had heard that Li Jing was going to parade military parades and award medals under Liaodong City, and even heard that various cavalry commanded the cavalry to go out everywhere.

What worries Zhang Tai even more was that until now, only Li Jing and other generals knew about the emperor's decree. The other military and civilians in the camp were completely unaware of the emperor's decree.

In Zhang Tai's opinion, just by looking at this point, it was already obvious that Li Jing had no intention of accepting the imperial decree. Otherwise, if Li Jing obeyed the order, he should read these edicts to the soldiers of the entire army and to the officials of the seventeen states.

It doesn't matter if Li Jing really wants to rebel, but Zhang Tai doesn't care.

He mocked Tian Lingzi and Lu Xie in his heart, thinking that Li Jing was a nouveau riche and it took only four or five years to build such a territory and army. Do you think Li Jing’s foundation is insufficient?

In his opinion, if the court wants to solve Li Jing, it is actually not the case that it should be dealt with now. The best way is to move the emperor to Luoyang first, then let Li Jing go to Luoyang to see him. When Li Jing arrives in Luoyang, he will directly detain Li Jing, or simply kill Li Jing directly, and then find an excuse to say that Li Jing died of sudden illness, etc. At the same time, the court sent elite troops into Li Jing's territory, and then publicly read out the emperor's edict, split the town, and then appointed Li Jing's general as the commander of the Wuzhen Jie, the governor and other officials.

At the same time, Li Jing's sworn brothers such as Lin Wei, Wang Chong and his disciples were directly transferred to other places. If there is any other person, they will directly capture them and kill them to warn them.

Only by taking so many measures can Li Jing's power be uprooted.

But as we are now, we just want to arouse Li Jing’s rebellion, but there is no precautionary measure at all. Tian Lingzi and others are just playing with fire.

They first hungry a tiger for a long time, but they had to open the cage. It was so stupid.

Should they say that they underestimate Li Jing too much, or they look down on themselves too highly?

"General, General Zhang Junjun Envoy asked for a visit." The guard reported outside the tent.

When he heard that his adopted son came to see him, Zhang Tai quickly threw down the book in his hand and stood up to greet him.

The Jinjia Army outside the tent did not stop Zhang Chengye and let him in directly.

Zhang Chengye walked in with two food boxes, looking a little haggard. It was obvious that he also understood the meaning behind the sudden decree from the court. The court began to suspicion about the prince.

Zhang Chengye has always been loyal to Li Tang. Since he became Li Jing's military supervisor, he has been devoted to the Tang Dynasty. However, after Li Jing for a few years, he actually believed in Li Jing very much. Although Li Jing has been rising all the way, not to mention the money Li Jing pays tribute to the emperor every year, just the court has transferred Li Jing to send troops. How could Li Jing not accept it? How could he not take it attentively?

On the behalf of Shatuo, Beiping, the Central Plains suppressed the thieves.

In recent years, we have relied on the power of the capital to expand our territory and regain Andong.

He is so loyal to the king's affairs, but now at the critical moment of destruction of Goguryeo, the emperor issued such an order, which really made the hearts of the soldiers.

He was very worried that Li Jing would make any fierce moves. For this reason, he asked Li Jing several times to meet and talk to Li Jing. He did not persuade Li Jing to accept the imperial decree, but also hoped that Li Jing could submit a statement to the court to explain the current situation.

"The prince has already ordered the county magistrate and above to be given civil servants, and the battalion commanded the officers above to come to discuss matters before the military parade and award ceremony." Zhang Chengye said a little heavy.

There are two possibilities for Li Jing to call these officials here at this time. One is to declare the emperor's will. However, if this is the case, it is enough to just write a document. If not, the other possibilities will be worrying. Summoning these officials at this time is an extremely bad omen.

Zhang Tai pondered for a moment.

Question: "How have Cui Yunqing, Li Zhen and others recently?"

Zhang Chengye looked up at his adoptive father, and of course he knew what this sentence meant.

The court dismissed Li Jing's position, but appointed Cui Yunqing and Li Zhen and other important counselors of Li Jing as the Five Towns' Legislative Commanders. This is a trick to separate Li Jing. If the five people have selfish intentions, they are likely to betray Li Jing and stand opposite Li Jing.

Zhang Chengye shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I don't know much about Cui Yunqing's understanding, but I know very well about Li Zhen, Gai Yu, Jing Xiang, and Guo Cheng'an. A mere position as a commander in charge of the rank of the commander of the rank of the rank of Li Jing will never let them go against Li Jing."

"Are you sure?" Zhang Tai asked in surprise. The position of the governor of the town is quite powerful.

"I have been with them for a few years, and I think I still know them very well." Zhang Chengye was very sure of this. Not to mention Li Zhen, Gai Yu and other people who Li Jing had the kindness of knowing them, Zhang Chengye. Although he has always firmly believed that he was loyal to Li Tang, he is still inclined to Li Jing at this time.

What's more, who are not Li Zhen, Gai Yu, Jing Xiang, and Guo Cheng'an, who are not favored by Li Jing?

No one knows better than Zhang Chengye. In fact, Li Jing has multiple military and people's hearts for the town.
