Chapter 470: Marriage Resistance 7 Seeing Li Chuan's angry appearance, Li Ju couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, my son, what are you brothers and sisters arguing about, whether Kong Sheng is dead or alive has nothing to do with us at all, the most important thing for us at present is how to get in touch with the East Palace, this king asked you to go to the East Palace to test Li Yu's movements, what is the result?"
Li Chuan and Li Yu's eldest son Li Shi, and his subordinates Li Kui and Ma Ping became friends, of course, this was also the result of Li Ju's instructions.
Li Ju has been an official in the feudal town for many years, and he has a lot of power, so naturally the family of the palace is very expensive, in order to make friends with Li Shi, Li Kui, Ma Ping, and others, and have a relationship with the East Palace, Li Chuan has spent a lot of money.
Two days ago, in order to test Li Yu's attitude, Li Ju asked Li Chuan to send a generous gift to the East Palace, ten first-class night pearls, a piece of Hetian jade, and thirty singers from the Western Regions who are as beautiful as flowers and are good at singing and dancing, which can be called priceless.
Li Chuan calmed down and said with a smile: "Father, the prince accepted our gift, and asked me to greet my father, treat me politely, and be commensurate with my brother." ” Li Ju is the same as Emperor Li Heng, so naturally according to the genealogy, Li Chuan and Li Yu are brothers of the same clan.
But one is the core royal family, the prince of a country, and the other is the side branch clan and the idle princes, the gap between the two is too big, Li Yu is polite, and Li Chuan dare to go down the slope Li Ju smiled when he heard this, he pressed the treasure on Li Yu's body, as long as Li Yu ascended to the big treasure in the future, the King of Yu family would have a chance to make a comeback.
In fact, maybe you don't have to wait that long, as long as the East Palace makes a statement to the emperor, Li Ju will not have the opportunity to continue to serve as a courtier.
When Li Ju's father and son were discussing the political direction of the future King Yu, the court meeting urgently convened by the emperor in the palace was being held.
The emperor chose to suddenly summon his ministers to the palace at this moment, which naturally sent some kind of signal and hint, making many people think that it was because of Kong Sheng's refusal to marry.
The so-called robbery while the fire is also the so-called falling into the well, and there has always been a market throughout the ages.
Kong Sheng dared to resist the decree and refuse to marry, disobeying the emperor's goodwill, which made many people who saw Kong Sheng's displeasure ecstatic, and made up their minds on the way to the palace, to push the boat down the river so that the emperor could take the opportunity to convict or even kill Kong Sheng.
The lights in the Lin De Hall are bright, more than 100 red candles are burning, and the air in the hall is filled with a strong smell of incense and candles.
Two rows of shadow guards dressed in the service of the dragon guard flanked the emperor, and this was the first time that the shadow guard appeared on a public court meeting since its establishment.
Anyway, the shadow guard is already an open secret, and once the secret power is revealed, there is no need to continue to hide behind the scenes.
The emperor did not sit on the throne dragon chair, but stood tall, stood on the Danqi, looked around everyone with a majestic and deep gaze, and accepted the kneeling of the civil and military ministers and the tsunami class, and then waved his hand and said loudly: "Everyone, Aiqing, be free of courtesy" Many people were eager to try, preparing to immediately shout as soon as the emperor opened his mouth to discuss Kong Sheng's affairs, and everyone rushed up to put Kong Sheng to death.
In fact, Kong Sheng did not have enemies in the court because of personal grievances, but because he was young and had great achievements, which caused the jealousy of many courtiers.
However, the crown prince Li Yu, who has always stood on the opposite side of Kong Sheng, does not have the idea and mind of "beating the water dogs" at this moment.
Of course, those henchmen under Li Yu, such as Li Kuan and Ma Ping, have always been on odds with Kong Sheng, and they are also ready to take the opportunity to play Kong Sheng's book.
Li Yu disdains to fall into the well, but he is also extremely angry at Kong Sheng's behavior of provoking the royal family and resisting the decree and refusing to marry, so he will not stop the courtiers under his command and the East Palace faction from besieging Kong Sheng.
However, to everyone's disappointment and surprise, the emperor slowly spoke, did not mention Kong Sheng half a word, but asked to discuss and agree on two things, one is the departure date of Princess Ningguo and her relatives to return to Hui, and the other is to send the above table to the joint name of Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi of Zhao Wang Li who commanded the troops in Luoyang, asking the imperial court to transfer 100,000 soldiers and horses from Hexi Longyou to the east of Hedong, form a two-way attack on An Qingxu and Shi Siming's rebels, and start the final encirclement and suppression decisive battle.
This is indeed a major matter for two countries.
Harmony and return to the country is a matter of friendship between the two countries.
The counterinsurgency war is related to the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty.
At the moment, there is nothing more important than these two things.
In comparison, Kong Sheng's so-called refusal to marry is just a trivial matter.
After Ning Guo and his relatives returned to the house, it was a foregone conclusion, so there was no suspense in the discussion of the date, Li Mi and Du Hongjian asked about the preparations of the Ministry of Rites and Rites of the Ministry of Transfer, and the two suggested that they travel in half a month, and the ministers had no opinion, and the emperor did not say anything, so it was quickly approved.
However, whether to transfer the soldiers and horses of Hexi Longyou to echo the soldiers and horses belonging to King Zhao and attack Shi Siming's department in Hedong from the northern front, the courtiers were controversial and could not reach a consensus at all.
The courtiers led by Li Mi and Du Hongjian believed that the imperial court should dispatch troops in a timely manner, attack from the northern front, and decisively form an encirclement with Guo Ziyi and other troops, so as to end this protracted rebellion that damaged the national economy and people's livelihood and shook the foundation of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible, so as to let the people of the Tang Dynasty recuperate and recuperate and create a glorious and prosperous era.
However, Li Yu's faction insisted on opposing it, believing that the Luoyang front line had 300,000 soldiers, accounting for two-thirds of all the current forces in the Tang Dynasty.
If the Hexi Longyou soldiers and horses are transferred to the east, it will cause the rear of the Tang Dynasty to be empty, in case the alien race is ready to wait for the opportunity to attack the Tang Dynasty, the situation will be very dangerous.
The public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, and above the court, the two factions did not give in to each other and quarreled.
The emperor was a little irritable.
In fact, because he couldn't make up his mind, he convened the ministers all night to discuss and wanted to hear the opinions of the ministers.
However, this time, the emergency court meeting was as usual, with few constructive proposals, and it was completely mired in partisan strife.
When the quarrel was fierce, it became an attack by two factions, and some of them were emotional, and even shouted in front of the hall almost like a fierce woman scolding the street.
Kong Sheng's matter was enough to make the emperor irritable, and the courtiers chattered and quarreled over whether to send troops, which made the emperor's heart burn with anger.
If they really do it from the perspective of maintaining national stability, then it would be fine, but unfortunately, the purpose of these people's disputes is nothing more than partisan disputes, and each has its own small abacus.
The vein of the East Palace is actually worried that all the military power of the whole country will fall into the hands of King Zhao, and King Zhao will become famous in the future, posing a fatal threat to the status of the East Palace.
In fact, in Li Yu's view, the rebellion was put down a day earlier or a few days later, and the latter was more in line with his political interests.
It is best if King Zhao is defeated or the rebellion is not effective, and then he will be in command of the expedition, which is the best.
As for the loss of national interests and the displacement of ordinary people, they are just trivial matters and are not in the consideration of the East Palace.
The emperor knew the East Palace's calculations.
It's just that the emperor is helpless, Li Yu, the prince of the East Palace, has both civil and military skills, has accumulated military exploits, and has a high prestige in the court, which is unmatched among his sons.
Li Yu ascended to the top and shouted, and there were many followers.
The Emperor threw a deep glance at Li Mi.

Li Mi knew that there was no need for the emperor's mind to continue this court meeting, and there would be no result anyway.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Mi immediately made a decision to convey the emperor's instructions, and he went out of class and shouted: "Your Majesty, since the imperial court has no dispute over whether to send troops or not, it is better to put it on hold for the time being, and discuss it later."
At this moment, it is late at night, Your Majesty is working on state affairs, the dragon body is tired and needs to rest, it is important to take care of the dragon body. ” When the courtiers, who were still arguing, heard this, they were immediately speechless and closed their mouths one after another.
The dragon body of the emperor is the most important, who dares to raise objections The emperor was just about to push the boat down the river and end the court meeting, but he heard Li Yu slowly walk out of class and bow down to the emperor: "Father, the son has something to say."
The emperor frowned and said in a deep voice, "If the emperor has anything else to say, let's talk about it." ” Li Yulang said: "Father, there is no need to continue to discuss the transfer of soldiers and horses from Longyou and Hexi to enter the customs.
At present, most of the soldiers and horses of our Datang have gathered on the front line of Hedong in Henan, and the rear air defense is weak.
There are only soldiers and horses left in the west of Longyou River, claiming to be 100,000, but in fact there are only 78,000 people.
If the various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, the Hui Hui, and the Mobei barbarians do not have a large army in charge, once they are ready to move, or take advantage of the fire to rob and harass our northwest border, the Tang Dynasty will be in danger. ” "Longyou and Hexi soldiers and horses resolutely cannot move.
And under the command of the second brother, there are 300,000 soldiers and horses.
The remnants of An Qingxu's defeated army were only 20,000 or 30,000, plus Shi Siming's troops in Hedong, a total of less than 200,000.
With the 300,000 elite soldiers and strong generals of our Datang Dynasty, if we can't exterminate the remnants of the rebels, this can only be said that the commander and the chief general are incompetent, regardless of anything else.
Erchen asked his father to the emperor, and Erchen was willing to lead the Donggong Guard to lead 3,000 people to reinforce Luoyang, command my 300,000 army to attack Hedong, and exterminate the traitors in one fell swoop.
Li Yu's words are generous and imposing.
The ministers were taken aback, and they all looked at Li Yu with complicated and shocked eyes.
Li Mi and Du Hong quickly exchanged a complicated look, and couldn't help but shake their heads secretly.
Li Yu directly questioned King Zhao's ineffective command of the army and tried to regain military power, if he was allowed to get his wish, the consequences would be unimaginable.
On the other hand, the DPRK and China also have a lot of complaints about the counterinsurgency of the Zhao Wang Li family for a period of time.
Many people believe that King Zhao commanded an army of 300,000 troops, and there were famous generals such as Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi under his command, which can be said to bring together most of the military strength of the Tang Dynasty, and did not form an effective encirclement and suppression of the rebels.
It's just that because King Zhao is the second son of the emperor and His Royal Highness King Zhao after all, even if the courtiers criticize it in their hearts, it is not easy to pierce this layer of window paper.
Li Yu publicly pierced this layer of window paper this time, which undoubtedly aroused the echo of many people.
Anyway, it was the crown prince who blamed it, and they just seconded it. oshow7 t1706231537:
