Shannan.
As Bai Yuxian sent troops to confront Taiping Road again.
The situation in the world, which had just become more stable, suddenly became turbulent again, and countless people in the world couldn't help but look towards Shannan.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see the current situation in the world. The key to victory or defeat lies in Bai Yuxian, Li Su and An Lushan, and the three of them also represent different camps.
Bai Yuxian now clearly represents the Tang Dynasty.
Li Su represents the Tao of Peace.
Anlu Mountain represents the newly established Yan Dynasty.
As for the relationship between the three parties, on the surface there is no doubt that Taiping Dao and An Lushan are closer. After all, compared to the Tang Dynasty, both are rebels.
So at this moment, Bai Yuxian led his army to confront Taiping Dao and Li Su again, so the victory or defeat of both sides will undoubtedly determine the direction of the world's situation in the future.
If the army led by Bai Yuxian can defeat Li Su and pacify Taiping Dao, then the Tang Dynasty will undoubtedly have the opportunity to wipe out the world and quell the rebellion. As long as Li Su and Taiping Dao are solved, An Lushan and others will be left. The Yan Dynasty was established.
On the other hand, if Bai Yuxian was defeated by Li Su, then it goes without saying that the entire Tang Dynasty would be completely destroyed.
After Bai Yuxian appeared at the Shannan border, he also fought with Li Su again in cooperation, and then the confrontation ended in a draw again.
However, Bai Yuxian's performance made Li Wang, who was far away in Shuofang, very dissatisfied.
Because what he wants is not for Bai Yuxian to confront Taiping Dao, but for Bai Yuxian to completely pacify Taiping Dao and then send his troops north to pacify An Lushan and other rebels, thus helping him sweep across the world and pacify everything.
But now Bai Yuxian is confronting Taiping Dao again. What should he do if An Lushan takes the opportunity to command Shuofang? He can't really run away to Anxi.
If that were the case, he, the emperor, would no longer need his face.
He had just run away before his butt was even hot, and this would be another blow to his prestige.
He has just ascended the throne and his prestige is not enough. He needs to improve his prestige and stabilize his imperial power through a big victory. It is absolutely impossible to allow failure.
Why Li Wang named Bai Yuxian the king of a different surname was because he wanted to win over and appease Bai Yuxian to help him conquer Taiping Road and Anlu Mountain.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the results obtained by Bai Yuxian's troops in Shannan are definitely not satisfactory to Li Wang.
But he couldn't think of any solution for the moment.
"In this case, why don't your Majesty send a supervisory army to Shannan to urge King Jiannan to clear the Taiping Road as soon as possible. At the same time, he can also monitor whether King Jiannan has any dissatisfaction with your Majesty. If so, you can report to your Majesty at any time so that your Majesty can promptly Know."
After learning about Li Wang's troubles, Queen Zhang immediately offered advice.
Empress Zhang was Li Wang's wife. First she was Li Wang's princess, then she became the crown princess after Li Wang became the prince. Now that Li Wang became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, she naturally became the queen.
And because her surname was Zhang, she was called Queen Zhang.
After hearing Queen Zhang's suggestion, Li Wang couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Yes, I can definitely send a supervisor to supervise and supervise Bai Yuxian.
And not only Bai Yuxian, but also other military governors under the current Tang Dynasty can send supervisory troops there. In this way, he can also use the supervisory troops to control these military governors, which is more conducive to the concentration of his imperial power and control of power. control.
Otherwise, the hidden dangers of the previous Jiedushi system were too great. Those Jiedushi were completely independent of one party and were not controlled by the imperial court. Once they wanted to rebel against the imperial court, there was no way to restrain them.
The previous Jiedushi system itself must be modified, otherwise it will pose too great a threat to its imperial power.
The more he thought about it, the brighter Li Wang's eyes became, and he quickly summoned all his close friends and officials to discuss the matter.
After final deliberation, Li Wang decided to add the post of military watcher to the Tang Dynasty. His duty was to go to the army formations for the emperor to supervise the army. He had the power of imperial authority to kill first and then report, and to restrict the general of the army.
In short, the military watcher is a layer of supervision yoke placed by the emperor on the head of the army general.
It is completely foreseeable that the establishment of military envoys will inevitably be resisted and rejected by the major military envoys and army generals.
However, the major military governors and military commanders rejected this, but it was of great benefit to his emperor Li Wang, who could greatly strengthen the consolidation of his own imperial power.
Therefore, it is natural for Li Wang to observe the army and envoys.
After determining the responsibilities of the military observer, the next step is to select the military observer.
In particular, the military envoy who went to Shannan to supervise Bai Yuxian was a top priority, and he must be trustworthy.
Thinking of this, Li Wang couldn't help but look at the few close ministers in front of him and asked.
"Who do you think can be the envoy to observe the army in Shannan?"
Several people present looked at me and I looked at you, and then one person suggested.
"I think Master Yu is suitable for this position."
"Yes, yes. Master Yu is loyal to Your Majesty and is both civil and military. If you are suitable for this position, you can serve as your Majesty's commander in the south of the mountain, King Jiannan."
The others immediately agreed upon hearing this, all looking at Yu Chaoen.
Yu Chaoen was originally just an ordinary eunuch, but after coming to Shuofang, he was appreciated and promoted by Li Wang with a series of performances. At the same time, his strength was also very outstanding, and his cultivation had reached the peak of martial arts Xuangang.
Today, Yu Chaoen can be said to be one of the celebrities around Li Wang.
When Li Wang heard this, he also felt that it made sense. Yu Chaoen's personal strength and ability were good. Judging from his performance during this period, he also tried his best for himself and could indeed be of great use.
"Since all of you have recommended it, what do you think of Yu Aiqing?"
Li Wang immediately looked at Yu Chao Endao.
Yu Chaoen was already scolding his mother in his heart.
Although he worked hard to move closer to Li Wang during this period, he only hoped to gain power through Li Wang.
But he didn't really want to die for Li Wang.
Who is King Jiannan Bai Yuxian? He is the most powerful person in the level of martial arts and supernatural powers, and he is also the most powerful person in martial arts and supernatural powers in the world. If he allows himself a small martial arts profound power to supervise the army of King Jiannan, isn't this looking for death?
Yu Chaoen didn't even know what Li Wang was thinking. He felt that Li Wang's brain had been kicked by a donkey.
Nowadays, whether the entire Tang Dynasty can be saved depends on Bai Yuxian. As a result, at this time, a military observer will be arranged to supervise Bai Yuxian to create obstacles for Bai Yuxian. This really doesn't worry that Bai Yuxian, the King of Jiannan, will directly rebel in anger. Kill him Li Tang.
Originally, Yu Chaoen thought that Li Wang had a clear leadership style, but now he feels that Li Wang is also stupid.
Although he could understand Li Wang's thoughts, he was eager to take power and conquer the world just after he took the throne, but he was too hasty and did not consider the situation at all.
There are also several other ministers present around him. They usually treat him as brothers and are very enthusiastic, but now they push him forward whenever something happens.
This is so damn true.
But the matter has come to this, and it is definitely not possible for Yu Chaoen to refuse at this time, and there cannot even be much hesitation, otherwise Li Wang's current trust in him may be greatly reduced in an instant, and he will hand it over immediately.
"I am determined to live up to His Majesty's expectations and will go through fire and water for Your Majesty without hesitation."
"good!"
When Li Wang heard this, he was immediately shocked and in a good mood, thinking that Yu Chaoen could indeed be trusted and reused.
With this matter settled, Li Wang immediately appointed Yu Chaoen as the military envoy to Shannan to supervise Bai Yuxian.
——
"Observe the military envoy."
Half an hour later, in the palace where Li Long was, Gao Lishi came to Li Longji and reported to Li Longji that General Li Wang had set up military envoys to supervise the army, especially the Shannan Jiannan Army and Bai Yuxian.
When Li Longji heard this, he couldn't help but show sarcasm and sneered.
"It's really stupid."
He could naturally understand Li Wang's thinking, which was that he felt that the Jiedushi's power was too great and was not subject to the supervision of the court, so he wanted to set up this military envoy to limit the Jiedushi's strength and strengthen the imperial power.
There is nothing wrong with thinking this way, but it is a big mistake.
As early as more than ten years ago, before the Tang Dynasty was at its peak during the Tianbao period, Li Longji had already realized the problem of Jiedushi and knew that the powerful Jiedushi was a hidden danger. However, at that time, he did not dare to act like Li Hope to do so now.
Why?
Because they were afraid of forcing all the governors to rebel.
As a result, Li Wang did what he didn't dare to do when the Tang Dynasty was at its peak.
In particular, they have to send military envoys to supervise Bai Yuxian, which is too long.
Now the life and death of the entire Tang Dynasty depends on Bai Yuxian's support. As a result, Li Wang sent someone to supervise Bai Yuxian at this time, making it clear that he was not worried about Bai Yuxian causing trouble for Bai Yuxian.
This is not seeking death.
Once Bai Yuxian is angered and starts a rebellion, then Li Tang and the others will definitely die.
But immediately, Li Longji's heart moved again.
Li Wang wanted to send Yu Chaoen to Shannan to supervise Bai Yuxian at this time, but this was not an opportunity for him.
If he can win over Yu Chaoen, he can immediately contact Bai Yuxian and ask Bai Yuxian to directly lead his troops to Shuofang in private to eradicate Li Wang and help him regain power.
As for Bai Yuxian, Li Longji also believed in him.
Li Longji believes that if there is one person in the world who is loyal to him, Li Longji, then this person must be Bai Yuxian.
Li Longji immediately turned to look at Gao Lishi and ordered.
"Go and send someone to send a message to Yu Chaoen and ask him to come see me at night."
"promise!"
