Yang Fugong never dreamed that Li Rupei ascended the throne in Chang'an, the capital, and became the emperor.

The kidnapped Emperor Li Yan to Fengxiang should have been a success, and 20,000 soldiers of the Shen Ce Army retreated together. Not only did they achieve the goal of holding the emperor to order the princes, but they maintained the appropriate military strength. This was the most satisfactory ending. It should be said that other negligences do not matter, so Yang Fugong, who arrived in Fengxiang, was still very happy.

Li Maozhen, who was waiting in Fengxiang, went to the city to greet him personally and arranged a place to station for the soldiers of the Shence Army. When the two met, the atmosphere was very harmonious and happy. Maybe they would start to prepare for some major things in the shortest time. These major things would give them a lot of benefits and benefits.

But the emperor actually left a decree for abdication.

After the news of the capital Chang'an came, Yang Fugong and Li Maozhen were stunned at the same time.

Li Yan actually left abdication edict for the Empress and abdicated the throne to Li Rupei. This led to Li Rupei's support from civil and military officials in the capital, ascending the throne directly, becoming the legitimate emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Fugong left the prince and prince in the capital in the first year of the empress, with the purpose of making Li Rupei embarrassed, making Li Rupei unable to deal with these people, or killing many people in anger, so that Li Rupei could be in a very unfavorable situation. Then the northern vassal states could unite Li Rupei in an absolutely unfavorable situation in morality. However, unexpectedly, the abdication edict left by the emperor instantly solved all the problems, making all the matters discussed by Yang Fugong and Li Maozhen feel like they were in a waste.

At this time, it was obvious that it was a bit unreasonable to stand up and scold Li Rupei for usurping the throne. The key was that the empress and many princes who stayed in the capital supported Li Rupei, and they agreed or accused of Li Rupei's ascension to the throne and become the emperor.

This Spring Festival is a huge torment for Yang Fugong and Li Maozhen. Yang Fugong vaguely felt that he was trapped in a trap designed by Li Rupei. Perhaps he had taken the emperor away from the capital to create conditions for Li Rupei. Otherwise, according to Li Rupei's strength, he could quickly surround the capital Chang'an, so that he would not have so much time to do everything. Besides, the Shence Army soldiers who came to Fengxiang sporadically. He had already told the courage of the Iron Blood Army, leaving behind 20,000 Shence Army soldiers who fought against the Iron Blood Army, and under the powerful attack, he had no power to fight back.

Fengxiang is not very far from the capital Chang'an, and the Iron Blood Army can take advantage of the victory to pursue it. Why did Li Rupei not do this? Why did Li Rupei write a letter to the emperor and himself after the Iron Blood Army occupied Lin Tongguan.

The Jiedushi's yamen and wing room.

Li Maozhen's face turned pale. Walking around the room, Yang Fugong sat aside. The peaceful atmosphere when the two met had just disappeared without a trace. At this time, they all felt danger and fear. Li Yan, who had already abdicated the throne, became a potato that spread his hands. Not only did it have no effect, but they also didn't know how to deal with it.

Li Maozhen, who was irritated, almost went to teach Li Yan a lesson. If it weren't for Yang Fugong's dissuasion, Li Yan might have been imprisoned at this time. Since Li Yan had already written the abdication edict, it would have no effect. Li Maozhen also thought that Yang Fugong and 20,000 Shen Ce Army could flow down, which was equivalent to greatly strengthening his own strength. However, Yang Fugong was in great trouble. Since Li Rupei became the emperor with justification, Yang Fugong's identity had undergone subtle changes. No matter what the Left Shen Ce Army Lieutenant or the Left Privy Councilor are, they are not valid.

Besides, Li Maozhen was also clear about the news from the capital Chang'an. Li Rupei had cast iron monuments and the imperial palace, which clearly stated that eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics. In this case, all of Yang Fugong's identities disappeared, and he brought an abdicated emperor. This was a huge trouble. Maybe this move just gave Li Rupei the reason, so that Li Rupei could attack Fengxiang with justification.

Li Maozhen didn't want to be the first military governor to be attacked, so he needed to make a decision in the shortest time. How to treat Yang Fugong and Li Yan, who had already abdicated, of course, make these decisions, and Yang Fugong could not be noticed. This is easy to do. Fengxiang is his territory of Li Maozhen, and controlling Yang Fugong is easy.

Yang Fugong didn't think so much about it. He was still thinking about letting Li Yan come forward and scolding Li Rupei for usurping the throne. As for the abdication edict in the hands of the Empress, it was just something that the Empress forged in order to save her life. This is a step that there is no way. First of all, it must be done. After all, the jade seal is still under his control. As long as it is operated quickly, perhaps this move can muddle the water.

"Mr. Li, our family thinks that since Li Rupei can forge abdication edict, the emperor can come forward to reprimand. As long as the emperor comes forward to reprimand Li Rupei for usurping the throne, there will be a chance in everything."

Li Maozhen obviously did not have much interest in Yang Fugong's words. He had long thought about this. Not to mention whether this move was successful, according to Li Rupei's strength, he, the Fengxiang Jiedushi, could not compete at all. Moreover, Li Rupei occupied the entire south and now occupied the capital Chang'an, the eastern capital Luoyang and Henan Prefecture. As long as these places are slightly stabilized, they can start to launch a large-scale supply to the north.

At this time, Yang Fugong was still making trouble and asked Li Yan to criticize Li Rupei for usurping the throne. Wouldn't that be completely offended Li Rupei? It would be equivalent to sealing off his own retreat. Perhaps when Feng Xiang came forward to scold Li Rupei for usurping the throne, it was when the Iron Blood Army began to attack Feng Xiang in large quantities.

Li Maozhen was not stupid enough yet. Li Yan and Yang Fugong had no value in use. At this time, he would not completely spend his life. There are so many powerful vassal states in the north. Who knows what Li Rupei would be? Although Li Rupei transformed the Tang Dynasty into thirteen roads, the Guanzhong Road, Hebei Road, Henan Road, Hedong Road and other places in the north did not appoint the governors, which means that Li Rupei's approach may change.

"What General Yang said makes sense, but since Li Rupei ascended the throne, doing these things requires consideration of whether the many military governors in the north will support him. I think General Yang will contact the many military governors in the north to see what their opinions are. If they do not support this matter, it will be useless to do so."

Yang Fugong's face turned slightly pale, and he glanced at Li Maozhen.

Li Maozhen's proposal caught him off guard. It was time for this time. How could he leave Fengxiang and contact many vassal states in the north? Isn't that a vassal state in search of death? Any vassal state can arrest him, send him to the capital, and hand it over to Li Rupei. That would be a great contribution. Now in Fengxiang, there are still 20,000 Shen Ce Army firmly in control. This is his own life-saving straw. Although Li Maozhen also has 30,000 troops under his command, the two of them cannot take action in Fengxiang for their own interests.

Besides, the soldiers of the defeated Shence Army were still coming to Fengxiang continuously. If the Shence Army could all come to Fengxiang, the number of troops controlled by Yang Fugong could exceed Li Maozhen in terms of number.

Yang Fugong would never let go of these 20,000 soldiers of the Shence Army.

An official from the Jiedushi's yamen entered the wing room and handed Li Maozhen a memorial.

After reading the memorial, Li Maozhen clasped his fists at Yang Fugong, saying that there were some things that needed to be handled a little, and then turned around and left the wing room.

After Li Maozhen entered the military room, his face was filled with excitement. He was still worried about the 20,000 Shence Army soldiers brought by Yang Fugong. He thought that it would be too difficult to swallow the 20,000 people in one breath, and it would be very likely that if he was not careful, he might disrupt Feng Xiang's stable situation.

Li Maozhen spoke to a man in black in the military room.

"The information you received is accurate. Has the Shence Army stationed outside the city already started to have a commotion?"

"Reporting to the Jiedushi, the news is true. After the news of Li Rupei ascending the throne in Chang'an, the capital, and some defeated Shence Army soldiers entered the military camp, brought a lot of news, which made the Shence Army unstable. The subordinates who were stationed in the military reported that many officers and soldiers were already preparing to leave the military camp and scattered."

Li Maozhen's expression became serious. He still didn't want all the more than 20,000 Shence Army soldiers to scatter. However, under the current situation, if the Shence Army soldiers stabilized their morale, it would undoubtedly help Yang Fugong. This is something he was unwilling to do. Besides, Li Maozhen was still a little prepared and afraid of Yang Fugong. After all, Yang Fugong had contacted the most powerful vassal states in the north to go to Beijing to serve the king. If there was any direct connection between Yang Fugong and these vassal states, it would be difficult for him to deal with it.

The man in black was still waiting for arrangements, and Li Maozhen thought for a moment.

"Continue to pay close attention to the movements of the Shence Army. If there is a fleeing incident, report it quickly. In addition, be careful and try to help cover up the news and do not let the news leak out."

The man in black bowed and saluted.

Li Maozhen fell into deep thought, and a bold plan appeared in his mind. The overall situation of the capital Chang'an was decided. Under such circumstances, futile struggle was not very meaningful. The most critical issue was self-protection. Of course, it was necessary to contact other vassal states in the north. After all, in the edict issued by Li Rupei, the commander of the Jiedushi was not to control military and political affairs, which was the most deadly matter for the vassal states in the north.
