What Yang Xi said made Li Heng stunned for a moment. Why didn't he understand the meaning of Yang Xi's words, that is, although he was the prince and the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, he had to deal with Yang Xi, the deputy marshal in charge of Tongguan military affairs.
But he has no qualifications. The emperor has the final say in everything. Only the emperor can punish Yang Xi if he thinks he has done something wrong.
Yang Xi's words certainly made Li Heng angry, but he had to admit that what Yang Xi said made sense.
Although he was a prince, he was not entrusted with supervising state affairs and handling court affairs on behalf of the emperor when the emperor was old and did not have much energy to deal with court affairs, and An Lushan rebelled. His father, who was the emperor,
Although there have been expressions of wanting to pass the throne to him, everyone knows that it is just a pretense. If the emperor really wants to pass the throne to him, then
He, the prince, had long been allowed to handle court affairs on his behalf, and he would not be allowed to interfere too much in court affairs when the world was in chaos. Over the years, his father, the emperor, had tried to transfer him to the throne several times.
The idea of establishing another prince as the crown prince was abandoned. If he had not been cautious, he might have followed in the footsteps of the previous crown prince Li Ying.
When he came to Tongguan, even if he wanted to deliberately embarrass Yang Xi, he did not dare to deal with Yang Xi privately, the deputy marshal in charge of Tongguan's military affairs.
If he dealt with it privately and blamed Yang Xi, it might make his father angry, and he would be severely punished, and the crown prince might even be deposed.
Li Heng guessed that Yang Xi understood this and dared to speak like this, ignoring his threats.
Li Heng was very angry. Yang Xi only dared to do this because Yang Guozhong won the trust of his father, who was the emperor. No one else would dare to speak to him like this, let alone go his own way and not treat Li Fuguo.
The supervisors took it seriously and openly treated the supervisors appointed by the imperial court as decorations.
However, Li Heng was also a little afraid that Yang Xi would take any opportunity to punish Li Fuguo's crimes. Bian Lingcheng was an example.
Bian Lingcheng, who had served as a military supervisor for many years and had made many military exploits, and was deeply trusted by Yang Guozhong, Yang Xi dared to list a crime and kill him in public, and he was not punished by the court. Li Heng was also afraid of his success.
Li Fuguo, who was easy to insert, was also dealt with by Yang Xi.
Yang Xi held the sky in Tongguan, and all the generals obeyed him. It was easy to accuse Li Fuguo. If he killed Li Fuguo in public, the court would not necessarily punish him, and there was nothing he, the prince, could do about it.
Li Heng, who understood that his current position was embarrassing, tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, and showed a calm look, and said in a cold voice: "Well, I just listened to Marshal Yang talk about the military affairs of Tongguan in detail.
I will talk to my father in detail when I return to court! I hope that Marshal Yang will talk to me about everything, no matter how big or small."
Seeing that Li Heng changed his attitude and did not use what Li Fuguo said to accuse him, or even continue to ask questions, Yang Xi felt relieved. It seemed that Li Heng was at a disadvantage in the fight with his father Yang Guozhong.
I am not strong-willed and have insufficient confidence, otherwise it would not be like this. I worry less and speak more calmly. I immediately agreed: "Yes, Your Highness, I will tell you the military situation at Tongguan in detail!"
As Yang Xi spoke, he immediately went on and on about how to repel the rebel siege, and what he had done after the rebel siege, including clearing the Forbidden ditch, repairing the two Tongguan City walls and passes, and sending out continuous reconnaissance.
He talked about riding out of Tongguan to inquire about the situation in detail. Of course, he also talked about the large-scale military training that was currently going on. However, the training in the special training camp was not described in detail, only briefly mentioned.
He did not mention the production of gunpowder and its preparation for military use. He did not mention it at all. He discussed this matter with his father Yang Guozhong. After Yang Guozhong reported it to Emperor Li Longji, Li Longji strictly ordered that the development of gunpowder should be kept a secret and not be disclosed.
, unrelated personnel cannot know the details of the development. With the emperor's secret order, Yang Xi can not tell the prince Li Heng about it.
After the general talked about the matter, Yang Xi ordered his subordinates Gao Shi, Wang Sili, Li Chengguang, Pang Zhong and other generals to come out to supplement. Especially Gao Shi, as a marching commander, he knew the military affairs of Tongguan best.
, many matters were reported and supplemented by him.
In fact, Li Heng didn't really want to know so much, he just wanted to make things difficult for Yang Xi, but Yang Xi and the generals reported, and he had to listen. The generals' reports were very detailed, and they talked for about an hour.
You know, these things are very boring. Li Heng was drowsy while listening and couldn't help but yawn. But with so many generals standing, he could only endure his sleepiness and listen.
Driving in a bumpy car was very tiring. Li Heng was already regretting that he should not have summoned the generals to discuss matters immediately after arriving at Tongguan. Instead, he should have rested before doing so. Alas, he wanted to give Yang Xi a slap in the face, but because Yang Xi
Xi's courage is as good as his
His lack of confidence made him feel useless, and Li Heng resented it. Finally, after the generals told the situation at Tongguan in detail, Li Heng praised the generals at Tongguan for being diligent in their duties and serving the country wholeheartedly. At the military meeting,
It's over.
Li Heng went to rest on his own because he was tired from the journey and asked Li Fuguo to accompany him.
Yang Xi also ordered the generals to disperse and go about their business.
The generals took the order and left. Marching Sima Gao Shi followed Yang Xi. After walking to a deserted place, Gao Shi cautiously asked Yang Xi: "Marshal Yang, just now you openly contradicted His Highness the Crown Prince, will His Highness be okay?"
I hold a grudge against you, so when I return to Beijing, I will make a strong statement about you in front of His Majesty the Emperor, right?"
Yang Xi led the soldiers to repel the rebel siege, defended Tongguan, and petitioned the emperor for absolution for the generals. In the following time, he did so many things for the defense of Tongguan. Gao Shi felt that Yang Xi
He is a person who has achieved great things, and he became a professional because of Yang Xi's guidance.
He is a military commander with a bright future, and he wants to rely on Yang Xi and the Yang family's power to further climb the ranks. Among the generals in Tongguan, he least wants Yang Xi to suffer misfortune. He also felt that Li Heng wanted to deliberately make things difficult for him just now, so he was very worried.
Instead of doing anything, he followed Yang Xi just because he wanted to talk about this matter.
Hearing that Gao Shi was so concerned about him, Yang Xi felt a little relieved. He turned around and said to Gao Shi with a smile: "General Gao, you and I both know that the main purpose of the prince's coming to labor this time must be to establish his own prestige and at the same time attack
Let’s take a look at the reputation of my deputy marshal. What he is doing today
It’s not surprising that he behaved like this, and it’s not surprising that he said something in front of His Majesty after returning to Beijing. We can’t stop him from doing what he wants to do. Now that the rebellion is not over, the most important thing we have to do is to train our troops well and strive to conquer him as soon as possible.
Once the rebellion is over, don’t bother thinking about anything else!”
"The marshal's large number makes the general ashamed." Gao Shi said a compliment from the bottom of his heart, and said with some worry: "It's just marshal, since you expected that His Highness the Crown Prince would criticize you in front of His Majesty the Emperor,
You should be prepared for a rainy day and take precautions early!"
"Thank you, General Gao, for reminding me. I understand." Yang Xi smiled and motioned for Gao Shi to continue walking with him. "Let's do this. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns to Beijing, I will also go back to Chang'an to report to the emperor.
