Chapter 133 The Mother and Son Showdown
Zhenguan Hall
The negotiations between Wu Chengsi and the Tubo delegation had already come to a conclusion, and a written memorial was formed, and a copy was delivered to the Zhenguan Palace, Xi Neiyuan, and Zhengshi Hall.
During this negotiation with the Tubo people, the condition for Gong Ren was that the Tang Dynasty recognized the legitimacy of the Western Regions and the Tuyuhun territory belonging to Tubo, and withdrew the remaining troops in the four towns of Anxi. The two sides stopped their troops and made peace and would never violate each other.
After several days of negotiations with Luong Ren, Wu Chengsi reached an agreement with Tubo that Tuyuhun had been destroyed by Tubo, and the Tang Dynasty recognized the established fact that Tubo invaded Tuyuhun. As for the four towns in Anxi, it was not discussed that they belonged to the Tang Dynasty and were jointly managed by Tubo.
This peace talks have met the requirements put forward by Tubo to the greatest extent.
The acknowledgement of Tubo's invasion of Tuyuhun means abandoning Qinghai, the peripheral barrier in Guanzhong, and allowing Tubo to completely occupy the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
The four Anxi towns in the Western Regions are now under actual control of Tubo. The so-called common management means a disguised recognition that the four Anxi towns belong to Tubo, leaving only a layer of fig leaf and not formally ceding the land.
What Tubo has paid is nothing but a verbal promise that never breaks each other.
Peace between the two countries is achieved by balance on the battlefield, not a peace agreement. After Tubo embezzled the Western Regions and Tuyuhun and strengthened his strength, he would abide by any bullshit peace agreement. He would inevitably be greedy for Shu and continue to speak loudly.
In a short period of time, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo may be able to achieve peace, but in the long run, it will inevitably be a disaster for raising tigers!
What Wu Chengsi talked about was a treaty that was powerless and humiliating!
Yang Yao can see from this agreement that lost power and humiliated the country that Tiger Mother and Wu Chengsi and Tubo were eager to reach an agreement. Since Tiger Mother was eager to appease Tubo with a peace agreement that lost power and humiliated the country, there was only one reason, and the idea of first calming the country before fighting foreign countries was revealed.
Yang Yao put the peace agreement on the Long Case and said with a serious expression, "Xiao Dezi, is there any news about Xi Neiyuan?"
Wang De hurriedly reported the latest news to him, "The emperor, the empress dowager did re-trust Shangguan Cairen, and also adopted two suggestions from Shangguan Cairen, and divided the troops into two groups. First, the empress dowager mobilized Wang Xiaojie to lead 40,000 troops to Jianghuai, preparing to arrest Li Xian and Li Jingye."
Shangguan Wan'er was indeed the Infernal Affairs who was sent to Xi Neiyuan by Yang Yao privately. The so-called title of Wei Xiang'er and the incarnation of Shangguan Wan'er into the cold palace was just a show for the tiger mom.
Of course, it is not rigorous to say that it is the Infernal Affairs.
Shangguan Wan'er grew up in the Yeting Court, and her ears and eyes were full of intrigue and change of mind. She had been wandering and swaying among Yang Yao, the Empress Dowager, and even Li Xian, and never really belonged to Yang Yao. In history, she also wandered between various forces, which was also the way she had developed since childhood.
The mother Zheng is very important to Shangguan Wan'er. Zheng was detained by the tiger mother and keeping Shangguan Wan'er by her side is also a forced melon that is not sweet. It would be better to let Shangguan Wan'er "abandon the dark and turn to the light" and go to the tiger mother. Perhaps, it can really have unexpected uses.
As Yang Yao expected, Shangguan Wan'er made great contributions as soon as she left.
In the arrest of the game's traitor Li Jingye, Yang Yao was killing people with a knife. As the emperor, he could have issued an edict to arrest Li Jingye, but he and Pei Yan were on the same boat. He could not openly turn against him to arrest Li Jingye and turn against Pei Yan! It would be natural for Shangguan Wan'er to incite the tiger mom to take action. No matter the tiger mom, Pei Yan would not have any doubts.
Even if Li Xian cannot be arrested and Li Jingye is brought to justice, as long as Wang Xiaojie's troops arrive, Li Jingye will undoubtedly rebel. At that time, he can legitimately mobilize the army from Luoyang to suppress the rebellion.
Wang De continued to report, "The Empress Dowager also sent another group of people, and urgently summoned King Han Li Yuanjia, King Yue Li Zhen, and Li Xiaoyi, the chief of the Grand Governor of Yizhou, to Luoyang within a month to discuss political affairs and prepare to depose the emperor!"
Yang Yao knew the origin of these three Li Tang royal families well.
King Han Li Yuanjia was the half-brother of Emperor Taizong and a respected elder of the Li Tang royal family; King Yue Li Zhen was the eighth son of Emperor Taizong and Yang Yao's uncle, and a royal family close to the emperor.
Li Xiaoyi was the son of Li Shentong, the cousin of Emperor Gaozu of Tang, and was nominally the chief of the Grand Governor of Yizhou. However, the Grand Governor of Yizhou was one of the four chiefs of the Tang Dynasty. The position of the Grand Governor of Yizhou was either a confidant prince or a loyal minister or a posthumous title after his death. The military and political power of Yizhou was usually controlled by the chief of the Grand Governor of Yizhou, so Li Xiaoyi was the most powerful in the Li Tang royal family.
These three people are representatives of the Li Tang royal family.
The deposed emperor is already in a hurry!
However, Yang Yao still let out a light voice, and then he lost all his thoughts.
Wang De looked worried and couldn't help but ask, "Master, how likely can you win the destruction of the emperor be defeated? Will you be trapped in your own cocoon?"
Wang De is one of Yang Yao’s most important confidants. Once Yang Yao falls, he will definitely die. It is normal for him to worry and hesitate in his heart.
However, this drama of deposing the emperor was also deliberately urged by Yang Yao to instigate Shangguan Wan'er.
Why are the tiger mothers all Yang Yao's biological mothers, and they are assisting the government in accordance with the will of the late emperor. Yang Yao attacked Tiger mother for no reason, and was very passive in terms of emotion and reason, and it is easy to give people a handle. If the tiger mother takes action to depose the emperor first, then Yang Yao's counterattack will be natural.
Of course, the tiger mom was willing to carry out this act of abolishing the emperor, not because she was completely instigated by Shangguan Wan'er, but because she was unwilling to miss such an opportunity to decide the overall situation in one fell swoop.
Emperor, you can’t just want to destroy it!
Since the tiger mom took the initiative to summon the Li Tang royal family, Yang Yao happened to have a final showdown with the tiger mom. It seems that he, the emperor, was deposed, or the empress dowager, was driven back to the harem!
Even if the showdown ultimately fails, with the fierce general Xue Chuyu and the five thousand tiger and wolf army guards, at most, they can fight back to Chang'an. The two sides will know the real swords and guns on the battlefield!
Yang Yao said slowly, "Little Dezi, I am the true emperor! I will win!"
Just shouting loud slogans, Wang De was obviously worried and asked tentatively, "What is the solution for the Lord?!"
Yang Yao's mouth raised slightly, throwing the letter of the peace agreement with Tubo aside, and asked without answering, "You can still use the eyeliner that Yunzhu left in Shangdian Bureau before!"
Wang De hurriedly said, "Master, yes, as soon as I return to the palace, I will connect with the eyeliner of Shangyi Bureau. There is no way to say what the Master is good to his subordinates. They are willing to serve the Lord."
Yang Yao had bribed the hearts of the people in the palace before, but it was indeed effective at the critical moment. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "I originally had the blessing of the Three Pure Ones. I will go to Baima Temple to fast for five days tomorrow, and invite the Buddha to protect me. With the Supreme Laojun, the Buddha Tathagata stood behind me together, I will never lose!"
After hearing the emperor's response, Wang De was immediately dumbfounded when he went to White Horse Temple to pray to gods and Buddhas. He was immediately stunned. What the hell is this? He dragged his whole family to play with the emperor. Is this a cheating father?!
Seeing him crying, Yang Yao looked depressed and looked like the whole family was in trouble, he couldn't help but laugh, "Before the final showdown with the Empress Dowager, I must first deal with Wu Chengsi, who is accomplice for the tiger. I want to go to Baima Temple to ask for a heavenly fire to extinguish Wu Chengsi!"
