While the bright yellow paper was smashed, the Xuanzong voice from the building was clearly heard from the extremely angry voice of the Xuanzong on the building: "Half a day! I lost Jiuzhou in just half a day! These bastards actually didn't shoot a single arrow and then turned against him..." Because they were too angry, Xuanzong's mute tone turned into a low roar...

After hearing what Xuanzong said, Tang Li knew that there must be a new military newspaper coming. The news in the military newspaper should be that the Hebei Provinces surrendered and rebelled after An Lushan raised their troops. He picked up the Minghuang paper on it and walked upstairs step by step.

On the building of the diligent government affairs building, it was quiet and silent at this time. The old husband Chen Xilie, who was sitting in front of the imperial desk, had his beautiful longevity eyebrows tightly frowned together. His face, which was quite a bit of a childish face because of his proper care, also turned into bitter melon.

All upstairs, except for the old husband Chen Xilie, the other officials who were summoned were all standing, with their faces silent or expressionless. Apart from the heavy breathing of Xuanzong, no other sound could be heard.

After the Yu Yu case, the original gray face, which was originally a little decayed, stirred a faint dark red because of this huge anger. He, who has been advocating tranquility and inaction for nearly ten years, no longer had the calmness of the past, and was calm and quiet. Seeing that no one answered his words, he saw him sneered: "Why don't you talk anymore?! I think you are very good at speaking during the court meetings! You want rewards, be kind-hearted, and don't you say it well when you want titles? Why don't you say it now? Or do you only say peace for a hundred years, a prosperous era? Could it be that you don't know anything except these?"

I haven't gotten angry for many years, and once I get angry at this moment, Xuanzong's appearance becomes extremely terrible. As he spoke, he quickly walked to the standing officials and sneered like a poisonous snake, saying, "Who doesn't say that you are the pillars of the court on weekdays? Why don't you even say something when the court wants to use you? I'll receive the salary of the court and my reward every year. This is how you serve the court and serve me? Then what's the use of I support you? What's the use of it?!" As he spoke in a hoarse voice, Xuanzong's smile almost became a little cruel. "I know what you are thinking. You are like those bastards, and you just wait for An Thief to come and bend down to ask for surrender. At that time, the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty will be the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty, and the Minister of the Minister will be the Minister of the Shang Dynasty. You said, are I right? Is it right?"

Seeing Xuanzong so angry and listening to such heart-killing words, those who had originally wanted to speak became increasingly afraid. Wei Zhiyi, the Minister of Works of Xuanzong, was originally a timid person. At this time, he was frightened by the thunderous anger. He was sweating coldly on his forehead and said, "I am guilty! I am guilty!"

"You are not guilty, you are not guilty! It's me that I have been guilty. I have chosen you ministers to be the greatest crime!" After glanced at Wei Zhiyi who was kneeling down at his feet, Xuanzong sneered and said, "I have been guilty of heaven and have nothing to pray for!" While speaking, he actually raised his feet and kicked Wei Zhiyi hard on the shoulder. If there were no one behind him, I was afraid that the poor Minister of Works would immediately lie on his back.

Seeing that Xuanzong was in anger, Tang Li, who quietly went upstairs and hid behind the officials, was not going to go up to catch up with this bad intention. However, seeing that the situation was wrong, Xuanzong obviously could not control his emotions, so he could only go forward and say: "Your Majesty calm down. I think the matter of abdicating the rebellion in Jiuzhou, Hebei is not as unbearable as Your Majesty thought!"

As soon as Tang Li opened his mouth, he immediately attracted Xuanzong's gaze to him. At the same time, a slight but uniform sound of whimpering sound came from the building of the diligent government affairs office. Obviously, these officials who were responsible for the boundless anger of the emperor were relieved that someone would stand up to break the deadlock.

"explain!"

He didn't care about the anger in Xuanzong's words. Tang Libian, holding the Minghuang paperweight, walked forward slowly and whispered: "An Lushan has been in Hebei Road since he was appointed as the captor of the general. He has been in Hebei for more than ten years. It is expected that some of the provinces and counties will be affiliated with the rebellion at the beginning of this time. In addition, Fan Yang's troops are extremely powerful this time, and the states in Hebei are unable to resist and surrender with the flow. In history, this kind of situation will occur at the beginning of the rebellion at the beginning of the rebellion. Your Majesty does not need to be so angry."

He put the Minghuang paper on the imperial case, and Tang Li did not wait for Xuanzong to ask, and then continued: "For example, this follower has always been divided into several situations. One is willing to follow the thief; the other is that he has no choice but to follow the thief; in addition, there is a third type of strategy, which is the first and then the next! Today, Hebei has all three, but if I expected it, it should be two and three."

If the previous words were of little comforting effect, then Tang Li's later statement made Xuanzong feel energetic, "Tang Qing, let me explain it in detail!"

Seeing that Xuanzong, who was standing in front of the officials, wanted to return to the imperial throne, Tang Li quickly stepped forward and helped him walk towards the imperial throne, and said as he walked: "Actually, the truth in the middle is simple. Your Majesty is the true story of my Tang Dynasty. The so-called people's hearts are like mirrors and historical pens are like swords. In fact, if the situation is not really special, how many people would be rebels? The bad reputation of "rebels" is engraved in the bones and shameful descendants is not so easy to recite! This is one of them; the second is that An Lushan is only born in a 19th surname, and he is also ignorant. This is fine. According to me, An Lushan always looks honest and simple whenever he comes to Beijing. In fact, this person is cruel and bloodthirsty! Compared with His Majesty's generous and graceful manner, An Lushan is just a clown. For those Hebei officials, they are naturally more willing to be loyal to His Majesty."

Tang Li's words were sincere, and every word and every sentence was in line with Xuanzong's current thoughts. After these two words, Xuanzong's emotions, who had just been furious, gradually calmed down. Seeing this, Chen Xilie, the "old man" sitting on the side, immediately said with interest: "Tang Bieqing is worthy of being the top scholar, and he understands these two levels of experience." As soon as he spoke, the other officials who were silent just now also seized this rare opportunity to express their support. For a moment, the gloomy atmosphere on the diligent government office building seemed to have been swept away.

Tainted   Seeing the ministers at a glance, Xuanzong turned his head and said to Tang Li: "Tang Qing, please continue!"

The voices of the officials immediately became much smaller when they were eating Xuanzong's eyes. Seeing the current performance of so many officials who were so energetic on weekdays, Tang Li couldn't help but smile and then said: "As for the third point, Hebei Dao was a high-ranking Confucian family in this dynasty. Therefore, although the people's customs are strong, the word "loyalty and righteousness" is the most popular among the people. I have also read the appointment list of Hebei Dao officials, among which many of the prefectures are from aristocratic families who are well-read in poetry and books, such as the children of the Cui family, and Yan Qing, the prefect of Pingyuan.

Brother Yan Zhenqing, I may not dare to protect others, but these people will never rebel, but now they are also abducted by the thief. Isn’t this abnormal?" At this point, Tang Li’s eyes tightly met Xuanzong’s eyes and said: “I am now willing to use Your Majesty’s pen to make a military order. As the troops left behind by the Anthief Army weakened, the rear of the Anthief Road in Hebei will definitely smoke everywhere. Whether among the people or now these states and counties will rise up and regain loyalty to the court. I am willing to protect Xiang Shang’s head!"

Attention Tang Li, looking at his eyes that were extremely confident in peace, Xuanzong breathed a sigh of relief, and the anger that had just become completely calmed down, and even there was a little smile at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Tang Li struck the railway while it was hot: "Your Majesty has worked hard to govern since he ascended the throne, and he has become the world today. Although there are also accumulated problems everywhere, in short, it is indeed a prosperous era that has never been seen since Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. As the creator of such a peaceful world, the people in the world naturally have a gratitude and nostalgia for Your Majesty and the court. This gratitude would be fine if it was on weekdays, but once it was in battle, it would be truly transformed into the hearts of the people. Before Emperor Taizong had a lord's boat and the people were carrying boats and overturned the boats. The situation today is indeed the case. The four words "The people's hearts are in Tang" are enough to protect Your Majesty's country safety!"

"In addition, although An thief is powerful at this time, its foundation is only one. If you want to fight against the entire Tang Dynasty with one force, it is a dream. Not to mention anything else, the supply of logistics supplies alone is enough to crush it. The current situation is that without the military rations allocated by the court, it will definitely be difficult to support the cost of the 200,000 army with the power of Hebei. Since Hebei cannot support it, the only thing An thief can do is to use war to support the war and loot. Not to mention whether he can grab it in Hedong now, the more he grabs it, the less popular the people. Compared with the Fanyang rebels, I

The Tang Dynasty's capital was ten times more than ten times the population was hundred times more. When he got a pound of grain, the court could collect ten pounds; when he made an arrow, the court could create ten pounds; when he raised a soldier, the court could recruit hundreds of people. With such consumption, even if An Lushan's army was extremely sharp at the beginning of the uprising, it would definitely not last long. I think that the An thief should take the lead in the early stage of this battle to combat the rebellion. Then, when his troops were weaker, the court fell into a short stalemate with him. From then on, the court's advantage gradually became obvious and became increasingly stronger, while Fan Yang's strength was weakened in an inch and would eventually be destroyed."

When Tang Li finished his words, the entire diligent government office building was silent. Xuanzong and all the officials looked at Tang Li with a strange look. The news of An Lushan's uprising was less than a day in Beijing, but Tang Li had predicted the overall direction of the war at this time, and this prediction was reasonable. Not to mention whether this prediction was accurate or not, the overall view of the overall situation shown by Tang Li at this time was enough to be surprised. Often, people with this ability are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, but Tang Li is now under twenty years old and is even more famous for his literary words. How can these convincing words of analyzing the war come from him? For a moment, in addition to lamenting that there are really people in the world who can "be born to know it", some people secretly guessed that Tang Li's mansion must have a very clever adviser.

"What Tang Qing said is very consistent with my heart!" After a long time, Xuanzong, who withdrew his gaze from Tang Li, praised softly and said: "I have ordered Chen Aiqing and Yang Qing to take charge of this war. Since Tang Qing has become a Hanlin scholar, he should also participate in it to praise the paintings as a counselor."

"I obey the order!" Chen Xilie and Yang Guozhong were also responding to the order at the same time as Tang Li. At the same time, the officials standing could not help but look at the new Hanlin Bachelor with a stingy look.

"I have decided to rebel, and I have decided to quell the rebellion. You must not be lucky. From now on, if anyone dares to comfort or surrender, you will definitely be killed without forgiveness!" Xuanzong, who was calm and calm, looked at the ministers and glanced at the prince Li Heng, "The Tang Dynasty is not only my Tang Dynasty, but also the Tang Dynasty of the Qing family. Now that the court has committed this traitor, it is the time when you work hard to serve. You should also eat and eat to quell the rebellion early, but it will be your merit to make the people of our Tang Dynasty suffer less of the suffering of swords and weapons. When the rebels are given the head in the future, if you don't let the court down, how can the court fail you?" Speaking of this, Xuanzong was silent for a moment and waved his hand and said, "Now, you guys are all retreating and doing the job!"

When Tang Li, who was standing not far from Xuanzong, saw him saying this, and saw that look again, he knew that Li Heng must have mentioned the matter of appeasement and surrendering in the gap when he returned to his house just now. He was not surprised that Li Heng would make such suggestions. If the inherent direction of history remained unchanged, the prince named Li Heng would use Mawei mutiny to become "Suzong". This Suzong was the initiator of the Tang court's "tolerant" strategy for the vassal states. Then, after his son "Daizong" further promoted, the tolerance of the vassal states was greatly promoted in the court. It was during the Su Dynasty that the four towns, such as Pinglu and Wei Bo, were not controlled by the court, that were officially stabilized, thus opening the prelude to the vassal states in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

He was thinking about these things in his mind. Tang Li, who was about to retreat, heard Xuanzong call and said, "Tang Qing, stay."

As the officials retreated, for a moment, the diligent government affairs building was the only one left in the building except for the palace servants who served them. Even the prince Li Heng, who was lingering and did not want to leave, was sent back by Xuanzong.

"I'm sorry for you!" Emperor Xuanzong's sudden sentence made Tang Li stunned, and then he realized that what he was talking about was the Dali Temple two days ago.

"I'm old, so old!" After saying this, before Tang Li answered, Xuanzong sighed and said this sentence without any beginning or end.

"Your Majesty..." The atmosphere in the building was really strange at this time. Tang Li was about to praise the sage according to the convention, but he was stopped by Xuanzong as soon as he opened his mouth. "The army of the states in Gyeonggi Province can go to Hedong tomorrow. The candidate for commander Yang Guozhong and Xue Longxiang is Li Guangbi. What do you think?"

The more than 20,000 troops and horses were handed over to Li Guangbi's army, but he could not understand the meaning of Xuanzong's words, so he answered in a proper manner: "General Li has been through the battle formation for a long time..."

"I'm not asking about this," Xuanzong was a little irritated and waved his hand, "The Qing family guarded the Jinzhou with him that day. I want to ask you is this Li Guangbi reliable?"

Only then did Tang Li realize that after experiencing the rebellion of his favorite general An Lushan, Xuanzong is now subconscious and full of suspicion of these generals. "After General Li, and when he worked with him in Jinzhou, I dare to guarantee that he will not be trusted by the court and His Majesty."

"That's good!" After looking at Tang Li for a moment, Xuanzong nodded and fell into silence.

The silence was very long this time. Just when Tang Li felt the atmosphere was extremely solemn, he heard the voice of Xuanzong coming from the faintest: "Not long ago, the prince asked to go to Tongguan to supervise the army. What do you think?"

"Supervisor?"

"According to the steps of serving the kings from all directions, the court will soon gather an army of about 180,000 people in Tongguan. I have intended to order General Gao Xianzhi to lead his army. The matter of supervising the army that the prince said will come from now on."

At this point, Tang Li realized that the purpose of Xuanzong letting him stay was actually this issue. Tongguan is the gateway to the capital. As long as Tongguan is not lost, Chang'an will be as stable as Mount Tai. The importance of this pass to the Tang Dynasty is self-evident. It is also because this pass is too important that Xuanzong, who is full of doubts about the generals leading the army, cannot help but feel completely at ease with Gao Xianzhi. It is precisely because of this worry that he was extremely moved by the prince's suggestion.

However, although Xuanzong recognized the prince's suggestion, he was unable to feel at ease with the candidates for military supervisors. In the Tang Dynasty, since Emperor Gaozu established the capital Chang'an, the competition within the royal family was extremely fierce. From the struggle between the three brothers of Emperor Taizong of Tang, to the usurping of the throne of Emperor Wu of Gaozong, to the throne of Empress Wei, and then Emperor Wei, the Taiping rebellion and then Xuanzong ascended the throne, the competition within the royal family has never stopped in these dynasties, and it always ended with bloody killings. It is precisely because of this that Xuanzong set up a house of sixteen kings in the Kaiyuan Dynasty and moved all the princes and grandchildren into it. The prince did not allow him to live in the Eastern Palace, but placed it near his own bedroom. It can be said that since the Qin and Han Dynasties, if the emperor with the strictest control of the princes and grandchildren, it is Xuanzong. From this point of view, Xuanzong was really unwilling to let the prince leave the capital at this time, and he directly interfered in the military.

The current situation is that Xuanzong is not at ease with the commander of the army and Gao Xianzhi who occupied Tongguan, so he wants to send a military supervisor; at the same time, he is not at ease with the prince who volunteered to serve as a military supervisor. The entanglement between the two sides made his heart full of contradictions.

After understanding this, Tang Li thought for a while before he said cautiously: "After experiencing the incident of Anzhe, it is not an exaggeration for Your Majesty to intend to send a military supervisor, but I think it is inappropriate for the prince to take on this fact."

"oh?"

"One, the crown prince is the important weapon of the country, and it is not suitable to face the battle in person. In addition, the crown prince is respectful. If he is in the army, it will be difficult for the commander-in-chief to maintain his position. If he is not careful, the two lords may become a joint force in the army. In this way, our army will be defeated before the battle!" Tang Li's words made Xuanzong nod slightly to respond, and asked again: "According to your wishes, is it that I want me not to send a military supervisor?"

The military supervision system of the Tang Dynasty was first born out of Xuanzong, especially in the current situation. It was impossible to let Xuanzong dispel this idea. Even though he knew his thoughts, Tang Li did not make useless persuasion and said calmly: "I am willing to recommend one person so that Your Majesty can get the benefits of military supervision and stay away from his harm."

"Oh! Who do Tang Qing wants to sponsor?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Li smiled slightly and said softly: "I am willing to recommend His Highness Li Rui, King Liang, to serve as the military supervisor of Tongguan!"
