"By the way, I have one more thing to ask you. I wonder how Shuofang Jun is doing now?" It seems that he also thinks that these things that will make him sad should not be mentioned in front of Yong'an, so Ye Qingcheng immediately changed A topic that I have always been worried about.
As mentioned just now, even though thirty years have passed in the outside world, for him, it is really like a snap of a finger. The speech he made before leaving Shuofang Army is still vivid in his mind. At this time, he was really worried about the situation of Shuofang's army. If nothing unexpected happens, once An Lushan, who is the military envoy of Hedong, Pinglu, and Fanyang, rebels, Shuofang's army will encounter the biggest offensive from the rebels because of their close distance. Now the Tang Dynasty has put down the rebellion. I just don’t know what happened to Shuofang’s army?
"Shuofang Army? Why are you asking about this?"
"I have an old relationship with one of the generals in the Shuofang Army. I only heard about the An Lushan rebellion from you before. So the Shuofang Army is naturally the first to bear the brunt, so I am a little worried."
"Although I don't know what is going on with your old acquaintance now, the Shuofang Army can be said to be the most prominent frontier army among all the border towns, because their military governor is Guo Shuai."
"Guo Shuai?" Ye Qingcheng thought about it carefully. There were indeed many outstanding figures in Shuofang's army. Among them, the one who was most appreciated by Wang Shuai was probably a Khitan named Li Guangbi. Although he was a Khitan, But he is a handsome man, praised by Wang Shuai as his future successor. How come from Xiao Pianshui's mouth, he is said to be Guo Shuai? And it seems that Commander Guo is also very dazzling, and even Shuofang's army has followed suit.
"Ah, I forgot Ye Shijun, you don't know Guo Shuai. Guo Shuai's name is Guo Ziyi. Together with Li Shuai Li Guangbi, we are called the twin walls of our Tang Empire. The Anshi Rebellion was also put down by the two of them. Shuofang Army was the first They were commanded by Li Shuai and later returned to Guo Shuai. They performed extremely well in the process of quelling the rebellion and defeated the rebels all the way. After the rebellion was put down, the two of them were praised by Suzong for their outstanding achievements. The emperor's suspicion. Li Shuai just died of illness two years ago, and Guo Shuai, because of his old age, has long been wise to protect himself and stayed away from the center of power, and he is still alive and well."
"Emperor Suzong again?" Ye Qingcheng thought it was Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji who was commanding the counter-rebellion in Yizhou, but he didn't expect it to be Emperor Suzong. Based on his knowledge of Li Longji, how could this guy hand over his The throne? Otherwise, he died of a sudden illness, and the throne would naturally be inherited by his heirs.
"Emperor Suzong is the former crown prince Li Heng. Ye Shijun stayed in Chang'an for so long, so he should have some impression of this person, right?"
It's him? ! Ye Qingcheng couldn't help but feel very surprised.
A face full of insidiousness and cunning quickly appeared in his mind. When he was still Ye Sanlang, he had been quite dissatisfied with Li Heng. Apart from the insidiousness and cunningness he recognized, this guy had no other aspects. It's also difficult to evaluate. If you really want to say it, it can be understood as the young Li Longji. The two are simply a carbon copy. In addition, the most annoying thing about Ye Qingcheng is that he once hired Li Sihan to do some bad things, and he also had evil thoughts about Li Sihan. If Li Sihan was not quite famous at that time, his cultivation level It was okay, otherwise Ye Qingcheng would not have met Li Sihan.
With such a guy as the emperor, can the Tang Dynasty really be stable? Even though the rebellion has been put down for many years now, it is not Li Heng's credit after all, but the two commanders Xiao Shuishui said. Li Heng even killed one of them, which is simply unreasonable. The reason why Ye Qingcheng firmly believed that it was Li Heng's hand was because of the precedent of Wang Shuai and Wang Zhongsi. Back then, Wang Shuai was the Jiedu of the Four Towns and controlled most of the army of the Tang Dynasty. As a result, because of the rumors and this Li Heng got close, but was first demoted and then killed by Li Longji. Ye Qingcheng had just heard about this when she came out of Xiaoxumi Cave, and she could hardly suppress her anger at that time.
Li Shuai and Li Guangbi were obviously Wang Shuai's successors. He also played an important role in putting down the rebellion. I didn't expect that he would be eliminated like Wang Shuai, and the person who did it was Li Heng. This father and son are really good at it. ?
Seeing Ye Qingcheng's face turn cold, the Xiao family father and son couldn't help but secretly guess that the old friend Ye Qingcheng mentioned was Li Guangbi, right?
"But Mr. Ye, you don't need to pay too much attention to Emperor Suzong, because he also died of a sudden illness a few years ago..."
"He also died of a sudden illness?" At this moment, Ye Qingcheng was really confused. Although he knew that the Li family had always had various conflicts. It was common for fathers, sons, and brothers to fight each other. Emperor Taizong Li Shimin also passed the Xuanwumen Incident. He beheaded the prince Li Jiancheng and forced the great ancestor Li Yuan to abdicate, and then he became the emperor.
Let's not talk about it, let's talk about Li Longji. During the Kaiyuan period, because of the frame-up by Concubine Wu Hui, he even directly killed three of his sons, including the former prince Li Ying, which shows his persistence and cold-blooded ruthlessness for the throne. Li Heng and He was also on the road, but he died of a sudden illness? It couldn't have been done by his sons, right? Although Li Heng is not a good person, his sons are all very outstanding, especially the eldest son Li Shu of Guangping Palace, who is famous all over the world. There are even rumors that the reason why Li Heng was able to be the prince for so long is because Li Longji loved him very much. Because of Li Shu, the emperor's eldest grandson.
He didn't quite believe that such a King Guangping would poison his own father for the throne. He had been fortunate enough to meet the legendary King Guangping, and he was deeply impressed.
Even though time can change a person, Ye Qingcheng, a former legendary detective, has reservations about this.
"The current emperor of the Tang Dynasty is Emperor Daizong Li Yu, who was also the former King of Guangping Li Shu. After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, he fled to Lingwu with his father and prince Li Heng. After Li Heng became emperor in Lingwu, he organized troops and began to fight back. , and at that time, Li Shu was named the Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses, commanding the country's soldiers and actively suppressing the rebellion. Not long after the rebellion was put down, he was established as the prince. After Suzong Li Heng died of illness, it was logical that he He succeeded the throne of the Tang Dynasty, but his reign was really rough."
"It's because of the separation of the feudal towns, right?" Ye Qingcheng expressed his guess without even thinking about it.
The great chaos sweeping across the country is also an important opportunity for the feudal separatist forces. As long as there is some strength, they will madly expand their troops and occupy territory in the process of countering the rebellion. After the rebellion is put down, they want to use these feudal separatist forces. But it’s difficult.
