Chapter 84 Convergence
Li Heng saw that his left and right hands could continue to follow him to Chang'an City to make suggestions, and Li Longji was already on the way, and soon he would arrive at Fengxiang Palace to meet him. He was overjoyed.
That night, in order to celebrate Li Mi staying by his side, he summoned his brothers and Li Mi to have a hot pot in the palace.
During the meal, Li Mi refused to let go of the meat because he could not eat meat when he practiced immortality. Li Heng specially roasted three pears for Li Mi on the fire beside him. Most people don’t know whether the thing is delicious or not, but Li Heng didn’t let his brothers touch a few pears at that time.
Seeing that Li Longji's car was about to arrive in Fengxiang, Li Heng became nervous again. After all, the last time he met his father, he was still the emperor and the prince.
And under normal circumstances, the old emperor is still there and the crown prince becomes the new emperor, which is a bit unpleasant to say.
"Sir, if my father comes back, I'd better give the throne to my father! My father's current health can handle such troubles when he comes back from Shu, so there will naturally be no problem with handling government affairs."
When Li Longji was about to arrive in Fengxiang, Li Heng began to worry again.
"Your Majesty, you are the one who took back the two capitals, not the Emperor of Heaven. The throne was also given by the Emperor of the Supreme. It was not taken from the Emperor of the Supreme. If Your Majesty gave the throne to the Emperor of the Supreme, it would really damage the Emperor of Heaven's reputation in this life!"
In fact, Li Heng didn't want to give up the throne again, after all, he was not young at this time.
According to his own prediction, if there is a situation of more than ten years, he will have to give up his position to Li Yu. If Li Longji comes back and sits in this position for ten years, wouldn’t he have no time for him?
"Okay! Since that's the case, as long as my father doesn't mention this, I will let my father enjoy his old age in Xingqing Palace!"
"The Supreme Emperor was wise and even though he had mistakenly believed Li Linfu and An Lushan, if there was no Supreme Emperor, my Tang Dynasty would not have had the prosperous era during the Kaiyuan period, and he would not have affected His Majesty."
After Li Mi gave himself two reassurance pills in succession, Li Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down and waited for Li Longji in Fengxiang. But what he had no idea was that what he should have thought but did not think about was that his third son had already done it.
Li Neng took Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun to meet with Li Guangbi. No one in the Tang Dynasty knew about this except Guo Ziyi.
Although Guo Ziyi knew, his mouth was quite strict. He knew that if he spread this matter in Chang'an City, if he let the rebels do it carefully, this raid would not be considered a raid.
Not only Guo Ziyi said that, the other generals focused on Li Heng and Li Longji who were about to return to the court. Of course, they did not care about Li Qing's return to Sui Yang. In the hearts of many people, Li Qing's return to Sui Yang was still a good thing. It was of course a good thing to be missing from the court for credit.
Just as they were all looking forward to it in Chang'an, Li Neng and Li Guangbi had already led their troops to Luzhou not far west of Xiangzhou.
The territory east of Xiangzhou is still in the hands of the rebels. Luzhou is relatively close to Xiangzhou and has been controlled by the Tang army. It is a good place for the two of them to meet.
When Li Qing brought five thousand cavalry and ten thousand infantry to Luzhou, Li Guangbi had arrived a few hours ago.
"It's okay to leave!"
As soon as Li Qing saw Li Guangbi, he quickly walked up to him and bowed happily.
Although Li Qing was the prince and the King of Jianning, since Li Guangbi made several great contributions, Li Heng praised him for his joy and had already named him the governor of Hedongdao and the Minister of Revenue, and was the Minister of Revenue. He was the Minister of the Central Secretariat.
No matter what official position it is, as long as you take this matter with the Secretary of the Central Committee, you will be the prime minister. The governor and the prime minister will naturally be the prime minister. Although these two words are not very nice to put together, their status is there.
Li Guangbi was puzzled while replying the gift, thinking that although King Jianning had a little fame before, he was a person with a higher heart and straightforward heart. He was very different from the young man with a warm smile now.
"King Jianning is so brave. All the other generals are seeking credit in Chang'an City, but King Jianning dares to go to Xiangzhou alone to fight the enemy. It's no loss for the fact that His Majesty is determined by his Majesty who can persuade him at Mawei Post!"
Although Li Guangbi's surname is Li, he is a Khitan in terms of bloodline. Not only that, he is also a second-generation official. He is the fourth son of Li Kailuo, the Imperial Guard Zuo Yulin General.
These two attributes have also caused Li Guangbi to be a little outspoken. While praising Li Feng, he also derogated the generals in Chang'an City.
"I am joking. Xiangzhou is indeed an opportunity, but Chang'an and Luoyang cannot be guarded without a large group of troops. Moreover, An Qingxu and Yan Zhuang have become frightened birds, and you and I are enough!"
Li Neng's words revealed his strong confidence. When Li Guangbi saw it, he concluded that what Guo Ziyi said to him in the letter before was really not fake.
In fact, Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi, as the two generals with the greatest power to suppress the rebellion, are somewhat competitive with each other.
The reason why Li Guangbi dared to bring his troops to cooperate with Li Qing without receiving the order was that Guo Ziyi and his men successfully recovered the two capitals, and he was just guarding one Taiyuan Prefecture here, at least it seemed a little pale.
If Li Guangbi really cooperated with him this time, he could drive An Qingxu out of Xiangzhou and take back all the Tang territories except some places in Hebei Road, Li Guangbi could have made a comeback.
And what Li Neng didn't know was that what he was thinking about was to drive An Qingxu back to Fanyang strategically and then watch an internal drama in peace, but Li Guangbi didn't think so completely.
What Li Guangbi was thinking of taking An Qingxu directly and taking him back to Chang'an City to give it to Li Heng, so that he could truly show his ability, right?
After the two met, they almost said nothing nonsense. They all knew that although there were not many people gathered in Luzhou, they could not be guaranteed to be exposed after a long time. Once An Qingxu knew about it, they would not achieve their goals.
