Li Yuan was worried about the prospects of the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone knows that Li Longji attaches importance to military merits.

Therefore, all the literati of this era like to join the frontier, and a trend has also formed.

This is why frontier poetry is prevalent.

As an orthodox literati, Li Yuan was deeply afraid of this.

On the one hand, he was worried that the status of the military man would be greater than that of the civil officials, and on the other hand, he was worried that the military man would be respectful and threaten the Tang Dynasty.

Pei's specialization has long become Li Yuan's heart disease. It is not that he doubts Pei's loyalty, but that he is worried about the normalization of special cases like Pei.

Once other border commanders are like Pei, they can easily lead to weak external ministers.

Pei was the governor of the two towns and the Hexi Censorate, which made Li Yuan feel a little restless, not to mention that he is the current governor of Longyou, the commander of the field, the commander of the field, the commander of the field, the commander of the field, the commander of the Anxi Prefecture?

This order will mean that the western border of the Tang Dynasty will be the capital of Pei Jingyuan after leaving Guanzhong.

Li Yuan's objection was extremely resolute and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, this case cannot be opened. Although Duke Pei is loyal, he has made a contribution to one side, but in ancient times, the army has been separated and the army does not control the government, and the government does not involve the army. Now Your Majesty has entrusted all the Western military and political affairs to one person, setting a precedent. In the future, the commanders of the border will follow suit. What should Your Majesty do for it?"

"It is indeed an extraordinary moment now, and the crisis in the West is all about Duke Pei. But the more this happens, the less it cannot encourage this trend."

"I beg your Majesty to take back this life!"

He said, and even lay down on the ground.

Kneeling ceremony was not popular in the Tang Dynasty, and it was only like this when it was special.

Zhang said that Wang unexpectedly did not speak to refute.

Zhang said that Wang is a member of the hawks and has a close relationship with Pei. He has always supported Bians such as Pei and Zhang Shou, and believes that Bians should have certain sovereignty.

Otherwise, if you fight with your hands and feet, you will only cause casualties and easily lose the battle you could have won.

At the same time, it is also believed that the development of internal affairs that is too self-consistent will only lead to impetuousness and scattering, the world will be addicted to comfort, and do not know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

However, Li Longji gave Pei too much power. Even when he told Zhang from the military, Wang felt that it was a bit too much.

When Li Longji saw Zhang, Wang did not speak, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Li Longji's trust in Pei is far greater than that in history, and can even be compared with Li Linfu at his peak.

As an emperor who is very determined and even willing to hand over the power of the world to his confidant emperor for the sake of enjoyment, Li Longji had no worries at all and said, "I asked you not to come for discussion, but to ask you to know what I mean. As prime ministers, you have the right to reject my sage, but don't forget that I have the power to dismiss you here."

He said and left.

Zhang said, Wang and Li Yuan were stunned when they heard this...

Listen or not?

In the feudal era, emperors were always the greatest existence.

************

In fact, Pei also knew that something was wrong, after all, the lessons of the Tang Dynasty were right in front of him.

Separatist rule of the feudal states was the biggest drawback of the Tang Dynasty, but the current situation did not allow him to do so.

The war situation in the West has reached the point where one moves the whole body.

Once there is a mistake, the Tang Dynasty will completely lose the Western Regions.

This confrontation between the East and the West will be won by Arabia.

By then, as long as Arabs support Tubo and threaten Hexi and Longyou, the Tang Dynasty would not have much chance to retake the Western Regions in the short term.

At that time, this will be recorded in both Western history and Eastern history.

The first large-scale showdown between the East and the West ended with a crushing defeat in the Tang Dynasty.

Dignity is a kind of political capital. If dignity is lost, it will be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to command the vassal states of all directions.

Over the years, their efforts have been gone.

Pei will never allow this to happen.

When passing by Longyou, Pei and Geshuhan met.

Geshuhan was summoned by Li Longji and was rushing to Chang'an.

Ge Shuhan saw Pei from a distance and shouted excitedly: "Pei Shuai, Pei Shuai, it's great to be able to meet you."

His voice was loud, which attracted the attention of people around him.

This was suddenly summoned by Li Longji, and Geshuhan really had no idea.

He even wondered if he had done something wrong, otherwise why did he summon him to the capital?

Pei was not in Liangzhou and could not solve his doubts, so he could only go there with a tough bullet.

Along the way, he stared at the passers-by, just not wanting to miss Pei.

Sure enough, I met on the way.

Pei came and went in a hurry to Beijing without making any big fuss, so Geshuhan's call was immediately exposed.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no other person who could be called "Pei Shuai" except Pei.

Pei Zhengxiao also had something to say to Geshuhan, and went to a nearby station with him and avoided the crowd casually.

"Your Majesty suddenly summoned him. Could it be that the General of the Cong made some mistakes and was impeached?"

Geshuhan couldn't think of any major mistakes, but he also caught a lot of problems with his private life. After all, he was rich.

Pei doesn't care, maybe some people in the imperial court can't see it?

In short, it's seven or eight.

"You are guilty!"

Pei laughed and scolded, and told the truth: "It was me who recommended you to Your Majesty to Jiannan as the governor. Although Your Majesty did not agree, he said that he would settle down when he met you. But as long as you don't make any mistakes, this position will most likely be yours."

Ge Shuhan was overjoyed. This was the position that the general had always dreamed of. He excitedly rubbed his fists and said, "It's so unexpected. Xie Peishuai, if it weren't for your cultivation and your encouragement, my Ge Shuhan is still a villain and a rotten alcoholic. How could he be today?"

Pei Dao: "As long as you are given a new appointment, it will not be under my control."

Geshuhan immediately said: "Ship Pei..."

Pei waved his hand and refused to say it, saying, "You know my temper. I don't have any faction. You came from my Hexi Army. It doesn't mean you will always listen to me. You will make your own decisions in the future. Since I recommend you, I believe that you have enough ability to solve Nanzhao. The war in the south will be left to you."

Geshuhan was immediately sad when he heard this. The imprint of the Hexi Army had already been engraved in his heart, so it was not so easy to give up.

"But..." Pei Zuo looked at it and whispered: "I have a favor here and need your help."

Geshuhan said solemnly: "Pei Shuai, please speak."

Pei Dao: "If you really have the opportunity to be promoted to the governor of Jiannan, you should have a general under your command, his name is Xian Yu Zhongtong!"

The defeat of Nanzhao gave Li Longji a slap in the face.

In a rage, Li Longji punished nearly all the generals and officials of the Southern Expedition, even the Jiedushi himself was no exception.

Xian Yu Zhongtong and Wang Kezhao are the only two people who were not punished and were promoted because of their outstanding military merits.
