Li Yan pondered for a moment, looked up and asked, "Can the two Qing families have the candidates for the Five Towns Festival?"

Lu Xie turned his head and looked at Tian Lingzi. He knew Tian Lingzi's surname. Although he was the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall, he was actually just Tian Lingzi's puppet. Most of all, he did not dare to easily propose his own candidate in such an important personnel role.

When Tian Lingzi saw Lu Xie's eyes, he certainly knew what he meant and was very satisfied with his duty. He immediately spoke: "I thought Cui Yunqing could be appointed as the governor of Funing Army, Li Zhen was appointed as the governor of Denglai Town, Gai Yu was appointed as the governor of the Andong Army of Jian'an Town, Jingxiang was appointed as the governor of Pinglu Army of Liaoxi Town, and Guo Cheng'an was appointed as the governor of the East Army of Hengqing Town."

Tian Lingzi quickly reported the candidate for the governor of the Five Towns, which surprised Li Yan and Lu Xie. However, in a blink of an eye, he understood that Tian Lingzi's candidate for the Five Towns Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Martial Arts Mart

The five towns of the Jieshou was not transferred from outside, and they were all promoted to Li Jing's old subordinates. In addition to Cui Yunqing being Li Jing's teacher and being transferred, Li Zhen, Gai Yu, Jing Xiang, and Guo Cheng'an were all old subordinates of Li Jing, and they were very trusted planners. They were senior leaders of the town and also served as governors. Tian Lingzi chose these five people as the Jieshou of the Five Towns, so he was naturally thoughtful. First, these people were either Li Jing's teachers or Li Jing's confidant planners.

Li Jing has no choice but to promote these people to become the commander of the ritual. If he opposes it, it means to cut off his future as a general. If he really wants to do this, then these important confidants will inevitably find it difficult to work hard for Li Jing in the future.

Secondly, Tian Lingzi did not have to worry that they would not obey the orders of the court. After all, the biggest weakness of civil servants to be the commanders of the court is that they do not have enough control over the army.

The town was divided into five towns, and the troops of the town were divided into five towns, and Li Jing's subordinates were promoted to the five towns. They separated Li Jing's subordinates and split the towns. As long as there was no army and territory, they would not have to worry about Li Jing.

"In addition to promoting Cui Yunqing, Li Zhen, Jing Xiang, Gai Yu, and Guo Cheng'an as the commander of the Jie, I also asked Your Majesty to agree that the old subordinates of Li Jing will be appointed as deputy envoys of the five towns, marching Sima, marching judge, and envoy. In addition, the positions of governors and superiors of the sixteen states were also promoted from Li Jing's old subordinates. In addition, some officials were transferred from the court to the five towns to serve as county magistrates, and six prefectures and other officials."

"In addition, there are eight seaports in Qingdao Port, Dengzhou Port, Dengzhou Port, Duli Port in Jinzhou, Qingni Port, Shiren Wang Port in Xiuzhou, Qinhuangdao Port in Pingzhou, Linhaidun Port and Anshi Port, a total of eight seaports. The Maritime Port was established at Dengzhou Port, and customs were also set up in the other seven ports, and the Maritime Port was sent to tax the Maritime Port." Tian Lingzi was obsessed with Dengzhou's maritime trade wealth. "According to my expectations, after the Maritime Port was established, the imperial court could collect at least five million taxes from the eight ports a year."

Li Yan was not too moved when he heard the number of five million coins. In his mind, money was just a number. Five million coins were just a number.

He did not object to the plan to split the town by Tian Lingzi and Lu Xie. After all, the town was indeed too powerful. The imperial court's Guanzhong capital was only 180,000 imperial guards.

Moreover, the Northeast is about to be pacified, and he also thinks there is no need to retain such a large army.

According to Tian Lingzi's plan, the 100,000 united soldiers and towns in the town were cut off, and then the 100,000 towns were divided into five and handed over to five towns. Each town was cut off half as united soldiers. In this way, each town only retained 10,000 permanent soldiers, and the remaining 10,000 united soldiers for training in autumn and winter can not only protect the local area, but also prevent the court from worrying.

There was only one thing that made Li Yan frown.

"How should the Prince Andong arrange it? Li Jing just made great contributions, but the court split the town **, I am afraid that Li Jing's heart will be disappointed." What if Li Jing refuses to agree, Li Yan doesn't know what to do? "Besides, the war in Liaodong is in full swing now, and Goguryeo is about to be destroyed. At this time, the soldiers will be unable to accept the division of the town **."

"Your Majesty, this matter is not unsolvable." Tian Lingzi said immediately.

"What's your method?"

Tian Lingzi hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "As long as your Majesty moves to the Eastern Capital, establishes a camp, personally commands the war in Liaodong, and then appoints a general to Liaodong, the affairs of Liaodong will be hindered. I recommend Zheng Cong-sei, the governor of Hedong, to be the commander of the Jingdong camp of Shence Army, and to recommend Cui Anqian, the Minister of Personnel, and Zhang Zimian, the General of the Left Guard, to be the deputy commander, and leads 20,000 troops into Liaodong to command the troops of the five towns of Liaodong."

Zheng Congxian, Cui Anqian, and Zhang Zimian were both prestige and capable of fighting. Although they had a good relationship with Li Jing, Tian Lingzi believed that they would not conspire with Li Jing. As long as these three generals led 20,000 troops into Liao and the emperor was in charge of Luoyang, they could control the five towns.

Of course, the most important thing is to transfer Li Jing from Liaodong. Otherwise, with Li Jing here, no matter how differentiated the strategy will not be of much use.

"For the Prince of Andong, I ask Your Majesty to issue an order to remove the position of Li Jing Town's ** Jiedushi and the Jiedushi of Pinglu Army, and to abolish the Andong Dadushi Prefecture and to remove the position of Li Jing's Andong Dadushi. The governors of Yingzhou, Dengzhou and Qingzhou prefectures served by Li Jing were also lifted."

Li Yan's face looked a little ugly. In his opinion, Li Jing was a meritorious minister and a great contribution. Although he agreed to split the town **, it was just for the sake of Li Jing's good and for the Li Tang people's country. But if he was just dismissed, wouldn't he treat Li Jing as a criminal minister? How could the people in the world agree, how would the soldiers of the town agree, and how would Li Jing agree? Even the emperor, it would be difficult for him to agree.

Li Yan waved his hand and shook his head and said, "Li Jing has made great contributions to the country and country of Li Tang, so he should treat him well!"

Lu Ji hurriedly answered: "I think that Duke Tian proposed to remove all the positions of Li Jing from the court, which was for the court to control the establishment of five towns. As for Li Jing, the court of the court should of course treat him well. I think it is better to add the throne of the Grand Tutor of Li Jing's third division, and give him the title of Lu Long, Chengde, Yiwu, Yichang, Weibo, Hebei Marshal of the Hebei Road, and the Hebei Road Observation Ambassador, and he still serves as the Lulong Army of Youzhou and serves as the Jiedu Governor of the Beidatong Army. He is also appointed as the Salt and Iron Transportation Envoy of Hebei Road and the Coin Crushing Envoy, and then serves as the Ambassador of the Tiandu Branch of the Hebei Road, and also as the Ambassador of the Foreign Tribes."

This series of official positions is actually all false.

The Marshal of the River and Daodao, the Ambassador of Observation, the Arrest of the Salt and Iron Transportation, the Cash and Cash, the Ambassador of the Battle of Tiandu, the Ambassador of the Bundesliga tribes, the Lulong Army and the Datong Army.

After all, Lu Xie's meaning was to drive Li Jing out of the Shandong Peninsula and Liaodong and Liaoxi.

After splitting the town, seizing Li Jing's territory, Li Jing was transferred to Hebei.

Although there are a series of names that sound very loud, such as the marshals of various military powers in Hebei and the ambassador of Hebei Observation. But in fact, even the governor of Lu Long's army and Li Jing, the governor of the Datong army, only had a name.

Since Tian Lingzi and Lu Xie drove Li Jing out of the town** and Liaodong and Liaoxi, they both threw Li Jing into Hebei. Hebei has always been an uncontrollable territory that the Tang Dynasty had. Now that Li Jing came to Hebei, how could the towns in Hebei obey the orders of a marshal without soldiers and power?

Li Jing led his troops into Youzhou and took advantage of the civil strife of Lu Long's army, but he failed to truly control Youzhou, let alone the current situation.

For Tian Lingzi and the others, as long as Li Jing arrives in Hebei, no matter what the result is, they will be winners.

If Li Jing could not defeat the Hebei vassal states, they would be happy to see him. Anyway, as long as Li Jing left the towns, they would have made a big move. Even if Li Jing really defeated the Hebei towns, on the side of the court, the court had won five towns including Liaodong and Liaoxi, and the secondly, they had to deal with the Hebei towns, which would have won a great victory.

Moreover, Tian Lingzi and Lu Xie believed that the imperial court had not settled the towns in Hebei for more than a hundred years, and they did not believe that Li Jing could subdue the feudals of Hebei if he went to the towns in Hebei.

"What if Li Jing refused to hand over the town**?" Li Yan asked the most worried question in his heart.

Tian Lingzi smiled sinisterly and said, "If the court has given such conditions, if Li Jing still controls the town and refuses to hand over, his rebellious intention will be obvious. If this is the case, then your Majesty must immediately wipe out his wings when he is not rich."

Li Yan was still hesitating.

Lu Zeng shouted: "Your Majesty, think about how Emperor Xuanzong treated him well at the beginning, but how did he treat Emperor Xuanzong and the Tang Dynasty in the end."

The Anshi Rebellion can be said to be a scar that cannot be erased in the hearts of every Emperor of the Tang Dynasty since Emperor Xuanzong. It was because of the Anshi Rebellion that the Anshi Rebellion that the Anshi Rebellion had taken a sharp turn. Because of the Anshi Rebellion, the riots of the vassal states and the disasters of eunuchs were caused.

Li Jing, who is today, is indeed very similar to An Lushan before the rebellion.

At the same time, he was born in a small way, and he also rose up in a short time, and he also held heavy troops.

It is necessary to prevent it before it happens.

"As the two ministers said, add Li Jing's Grand Tutor, serve as the marshal of the Hebei Road, observe the ambassador, salt and iron transfer envoy, coin minting envoy, ambassador of the Tiandu Branch, arrest the ambassador of the foreign tribes, hold the Lulong army and the Datong army."

After the agreement, on the same day, the emperor summoned the eunuchs from the Political Affairs Hall to discuss matters with the Northern Division.

However, this time it was in Xuanzheng Hall, and in addition to the important ministers of the Southern Yabei District, there were also officials from the Three Provinces and Six Ministry, the Censorate, and even the generals of the Shence Army.

As soon as Li Yan opened his mouth, he announced the personal expedition.

After the tenth day of the year, he personally expeditioned and moved to Luoyang. At the same time, he was given the position of Prince Li Jing of Andong, the Marshal of the Hebei Dao, and the appointment of the five towns, the commanders of the towns and the governors below. Then, he announced that the transfer of the Hedong Jieduan Zheng Cong-si was the commander of the Jingdong camp of the Shence Army, Cui Anqian and Zhang Zimian were the deputy commanders, and led 20,000 troops into Liaodong, and was responsible for commanding the five towns of Liaodong to fight against Goguryeo.

The emperor's order was not refuted at all. He immediately handed over to his disciples to draft an edict, and then reviewed by the Secretary of the Central Committee and sent it to the Secretary of the State for execution.

The edict was immediately announced, and officials from all walks of life immediately went to Taiyuan Prefecture, Henan, Hebei, Liaodong and other places to announce the edict.

The emperor wanted to fight in person, and the town was split and Li Jing was transferred to Hebei immediately spread throughout Chang'an. Moreover, the news spread quickly like the wind, and after continuous processing, it became more and more mysterious. For a moment, rumors spread everywhere, including Guanzhong Mountain, Henan, Hedong, Hebei.

Not long after, news even came back to Chang'an from Henan and other places. It began to be circulated that Prince Li Jing of Andong had already conquered the Goguryeo Kingdom. Some people said that after receiving the imperial edict from the court, Li Jing had already rebelled in anger. Now he has launched a large army of 500,000 horse-striking troops, and has entered the pass, captured Youzhou, and attacked Taiyuan.

There are even rumors that the emperor was surrounded by Li Jing's army as soon as he arrived in Luoyang!
