In Taiji Palace, Li Heng listened to Li Fuguo's detailed narration and learned that Chen Xilie had attempted suicide, and he couldn't help but be angry and laugh. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this old guy is getting older and more confused, not only whimsically taking the opportunity to seek to open the house, but also thinking that he can exonerate the whole family by committing suicide after the defeat, if he really wants to investigate his guilt, how can he not cut the grass and eradicate the roots?

"Chen Xilie is not dead, and it is also considered God's mercy, I hope he can do it for himself in the future. ”

Li Heng's voice was very low, and his mood was still very depressed.

"The soldiers are still fighting bloody battles on the city walls, and instead of helping them, I am dragging their feet...... It is my fault not to notice it. ”

"A saint must not be arrogant, loyalty is the duty of the courtiers, the saint is the son of heaven, how can he owe his subordinates?"

Regarding the frustration of the Son of Heaven, Li Fuguo slowly persuaded him, while thinking about how not to let the Son of Heaven link himself with Chen Xilie. However, after sighing for a while, Li Heng actually changed the topic again.

"Where's Li Mi?"

In the past, Li Heng would call Li Mi Mr. by his name, but today he actually calls him by his name, which has never happened before. After Li Fuguo heard this, he trembled, he knew that he was a eunuch, without the reputation and foundation of the ministers of the outer court, the reason why he was able to call the wind and rain in the inner court and the outer court was all because of the favor of the Son of Heaven, if he was suspicious of the Son of Heaven, he would be swept out of the house one day, then he would be beaten back to his original form.

"The slave is going to send someone to summon him!"

Lee Hyung-do:

"Slow ......"

But after changing his mind, he waved his hand again.

"Go, summon him to the palace, I have something to ask him. ”

Half an hour later, Li Mi knelt on the hall, Li Heng allowed him to be exempted from courtesy as before, and his attitude was always gentle, but Li Fuguo, who was standing on the side, felt that Li Mi was going to be unlucky. Because usually Li Heng only puts on a gentle mask for those who are suspicious and jealous.

Li Fuguo could feel it, and Li Mi naturally felt it, although he sat down, he felt uncomfortable, but he wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth a few times, but he couldn't say anything.

"How's the big battle going out there?"

Li Mi said embarrassedly:

"There is a system in the army, and you can't go to the city without an order, and the minister doesn't know the inside story yet. ”

Li Heng sighed, got up from the imperial couch, and slowly paced in the hall.

"Mr. has been by Li Heng's side for ten years, right?"

"Your Majesty remembers well, the minister has been by His Majesty's side for ten years and seventy-one days. ”

At this time, Li Heng was so emotional that he took off all the disguises on his body.

"Back then, Li Linfu planned to use Wei Jian to attack me, causing Concubine Wei's family to be ruined, if it wasn't for Mr. always giving advice, how could I be where I am today? Later, Yang Guozhong replaced Li Linfu, and suppressed me in every way, or Mr. ......."

Li Heng spoke slowly, one by one, talking about old things one by one, and Li Yu had already burst into tears, and he cried before he finished speaking.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

After recalling for a while, Li Heng came to Li Yu and sat down.

"Looking at the government and the opposition, the person who has been with me for the longest time is Mr., and the person I trust the most is also Mr. At this time, the court was forced internally and externally, and I was emaciated, and only Mr. could be entrusted to ......"

"Your Majesty, don't say it again, the minister knows the mistake, and the minister knows the crime. If Your Majesty gives the minister another chance, the minister will definitely ......"

Li Heng sighed lightly and interrupted Li Yu's plea.

"Sir is not guilty, how can I punish him? I only have one request for him, as long as he agrees, it is too late for me to be happy. ”

Hearing this, Li Yu knelt in front of Li Heng and burst into tears.

"Your Majesty has orders, and the ministers obey their orders!"

"It's good to have Mr. this sentence, my request is very simple, from now on, no matter when and where, I hope that Mr. will not target Qin Jin again!"

Li Mi was stunned, he made many assumptions in a blink of an eye, but what he never expected was that the Son of Heaven actually made such a request.

Suddenly, grievances and tears flowed together, Li Mi asked himself where to target Qin Jin everywhere, everything he did was not for Li Heng. However, in Li Heng's view, everything he is doing now is dragging his feet, and he doesn't know what to say for a while.

"I know that I have wronged Mr., but now looking at the world, who can solve my crisis except Qin Jin?"

Li Mi was also silently counting the characters he knew, and there was really no one who could match An Lushan. Those who were famous all over the world at the beginning are now buried in the loess, or they have no news, or they are long gone. Since the birth of the Shenwu Army, the Anshi rebels have been defeated repeatedly.

Now it seems that with Qin Jin here, the worst situation is just one more powerful general, and once this person is gone, let the Anshi rebels invade Chang'an, and since then the Tang Dynasty has been cut off, haven't they all become lonely ghosts?

"Your Majesty......"

Li Heng smiled helplessly and asked:

"Can you find it, sir?"

Li Mi shook his head in shame, and finally said:

"The minister understands His Majesty's deep meaning, and he will never be embarrassed by Qin Jin again from now on!"

After receiving Li Yu's assurance, Li Heng's tightly knit brows suddenly relaxed.

"I know that Sir will definitely be on my side!"

It was only at this time that Li Fuguo understood that Li Heng did not want to dispose of Li Yu at all, but to be kind and seducing, hoping that Li Yu could change his attitude towards Qin Jin. Knowing the deep friendship between this pair of monarchs and ministers, he even felt a little faintly sour, and the relationship between himself and the Son of Heaven was definitely difficult to reach this level

At this time, he thought about the relationship between the Emperor Taishang and Gao Lishi, and whether the relationship between himself and Li Heng could be comparable to theirs. This made him very frustrated and a little unwilling. Li Fuguo asked himself that he would not lose to others no matter how he reused, but after seeing Li Heng's treatment of Chen Xilie and Li Mi who were completely different today, his heart was mixed and difficult to calm down.

Li Heng's words were not finished.

"Mr. Chen Xilie's matter has already heard about it, right?"

Li Mi replied:

"The minister has already heard on the way here that Chen Xianggong took the blame and ruled himself, but fortunately he failed, otherwise His Majesty would be criticized. Ministers, ministers are also to blame, and I am willing to ask Your Majesty to resign to serve as an example!"

Chen Xilie's suicide attempt gave Li Mi a great stimulus, and he planned to get rid of Qin Jin's influence in the imperial court, but in the end it was still in vain. Although he learned well this time and did not openly turn his face with him, the conspiracy in the secret room was known to the Son of Heaven, and it was a shameful failure, which made it difficult for him to face the Son of Heaven Li Heng with the calm state of mind in the past.

Although Li Heng said that he was not to blame for the past and only looked at the future, Li Yu felt that he couldn't pass his level after all.

Finally, Li Mi made up his mind that he planned to go to all official positions, but after Chang'an lifted the siege, he would no longer implicate the world, and would return to the mountains and forests to practice wholeheartedly.

However, how could Li Heng let Li Yu leave?

"Sir, where did you start with this? I have never meant to blame Mr., Chen Xilie is for his own selfish desires, but Mr. is dedicated to the public, how can he say the same thing? I will not mention it again in the future, not only can I not remove Mr. from his official position, but also entrust Mr. with important responsibilities, Mr. Wanwang should not refuse!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

Li Mi burst into tears again and choked up.

Li Fuguo looked at the monarch and ministers with tears in his eyes, thinking that since Li Heng knew all about Li Yu's plots, he must have known about his own deeds. Thinking about this, he couldn't help but sweat. remembered that he had behaved in front of the Son of Heaven before, pretending that everything had nothing to do with him, and he didn't know it, such an exaggerated performance, if he provoked the disgust of the Son of Heaven, would he end up with the same tragic fate as Chen Xilie?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, but there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only wait quietly for the verdict of fate.

Finally, Li Mi stopped crying, and the two of them began to discuss the current city defense matters.

"No, it's not good, it's not good!"

saw a eunuch rushing into the hall in a panic, covered with bloodstains.

"The slave maid has just returned from Kaiyuanmen, the rebels, the rebels attacked the city, the soldiers failed to counterattack, and the thieves occupied a large section of the city wall!"

Li Hengden trembled, he had to report that the rebels had launched a strong attack on the Daming Palace, but out of trust in the Shenwu army and the private army, he didn't take it too seriously, but at this time, when he saw the tragic situation of the eunuch and the military report he heard, he immediately sat still.

"Where's the Imperial Doctor, take me to see him!"

This eunuch is a eunuch sent by Li Heng to various doors to understand the situation, and he only has the authority to understand military affairs, and he cannot insert half a finger into the orders of the battalion commanders.

"Doctor Yu Shi personally led people to kill the city, and life and death are unknown at this time!"

At this point, Li Heng was also dumbfounded, he could be calm about the life-and-death struggle between his subordinates, and everything could be controlled with a little means, but he was helpless against the siege of the Anshi rebels and the decline of the defenders in the city.

Li Fuguo suddenly got hot-headed and said:

"The private sector in the city is responsible for most of the city defense, and they have always been brave in fighting, and today's situation must be caused by Chen Xilie's rumors!"

Lee Hyung-do:

"Rumors are fiercer than thousands of troops, this is my negligence, and such a situation will never happen again in the future. However, at this moment, there is no point in pursuing the past, the top priority is to hold Chang'an, and the rebels must not be allowed to set foot in Chang'an!"

"Spread my order, gather all the guards in the palace, and send them all to the gate of Kaiyuan, and guard the city gate incomparably!"

Li Mi persuaded:

"The private army has 100,000 troops, and the short-term disadvantage must be reversed, if the imperial city is not guarded, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not make people with different hearts have evil thoughts, it is better to send seventy percent, and stay thirty percent, just in case!"

Li Heng thought about it and felt that Li Yu's words were reasonable, so he nodded in agreement.

The number of guards in the Imperial City is not large, there are only about 5,000 people in total, and the guards in charge of the Imperial City and the Taiji Palace are sent out to 5 to 3,000, but new problems soon arise again.
