Your Majesty, Bao Xiyuan asks to see you. " After Lu Tiansuo left, the eunuch whispered outside the door.

Li Tong was rubbing his eyebrows, and the continuous arrangement made him feel a little tired.

He didn't expect that at this juncture, Bao Xiyuan would come to see him.

Bao Xiyuan is more stubborn than Lu Tiansuo, and it is also more annoying to Li Tong.

But now is the time to hire someone, and let's hear what he has to say.

" Declare. " Li Tong adjusted his state and said.

Soon, Bao Xiyuan walked into the imperial study.

" Wechen knocked to see His Majesty. " Bao Xiyuan clenched his fists and bowed deeply, not kneeling directly on his knees like Lu Tiansuo.

Li Tong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

" Aiqing sees me. What is going on?" Li Tong asked.

" Wechen wanted to ask His Majesty for two holy decrees. " Bao Xiyuan said bluntly.

Li Tong's eyebrows furrowed even deeper.

" Say. "

" The first holy decree, Weichen wants to make His Majesty wary of Wangbei Tower, and it is best to let a part of the Royal Forest Army directly defend Wangbei Tower. At the same time, Weichen also has a special army in his hands, and he hopes that His Majesty can correct the name of this army. "

Li Tong's face changed suddenly:" How can you hold an army?"

Bao Xiyuan said without changing his face:" This was the arrangement of the former emperor. "

" Father?? " Li Tong's fingers were trembling slightly. He found that he still didn't know enough about the emperor after all, how much deployment did he make? There was even an army hidden in Chang'an City that he didn't know?

Bao Xiyuan said:" In fact, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much, this army is not as strong as His Majesty thinks, because this is an army composed entirely of black rats. "

Li Tong's eyes widened. I feel like I've heard the book of heaven :" Black rats?>

Bao Xiyuan explained:" Every city has black rats, and Chang'an City is naturally no exception, but has Your Majesty noticed that the black rats in Chang'an City are not very troublesome, and the security in Chang'an City is much better than that of other countries' capitals. The reason is very simple, all the black rats in Chang'an City have been integrated by His Majesty to form a special army, and Weichen is the commander of this army. It's just that they usually have their own rules of operation, and Weichen hardly interferes. "

Li Tong swallowed his saliva, the information that Bao Xiyuan said was a bit subverted his three views, and he finally realized that he was still too tender, thinking that the peace of Chang'an City depended on his own majesty, but he didn't expect that the emperor had already taken care of everything for him, including even the most disgraceful black rats. "

Bao Xiyuan continued:" The army composed of black rats really has little combat effectiveness, and that is not what they are good at, but black rats also have their own advantages, that is, sabotage, obstruction, and interference. Once Wangbeilou is reversed, these black rats can play a big role, and they know every grass and tree in Chang'an City very well, which is enough to ensure the stability of Chang'an City. "

Li Tong took a deep breath to calm his mind, he was indeed shocked by the news, but as an emperor, his mental endurance is not comparable to others, and he quickly accepted this fact and said:" I disagree. "

Now it was Bao Xiyuan's turn to be surprised," Your Majesty, why?"

" Very simple. Chang'an City will not be chaotic, and Wangbeilou will not be reversed. " Li Tong said with a cut of iron.

Bao Xiyuan said:" I don't know where His Majesty's self-confidence comes from. When the emperor was there, there was never a day when he gave up his vigilance against the North Tower. Why did you get to Your Majesty, but you are sure that Wangbeilou will not rebel? The temple has already participated in the war, even if Wangbeilou is under the control of my Tang Dynasty, but they belong to the temple after all! Once the temple has issued an edict to them, Your Majesty can guarantee 100% that Zhu Haoyun will not rebel?"

Li Tong said:" I don't need you to remind me! I said that Wangbeilou will not be opposed, then it will definitely not be opposed! Don't think about this will, let's talk about the next one. "

Bao Xiyuan opened his mouth, but in the end he only turned into a sigh. And then continued:" The second insistence is that His Majesty will transfer an army in the true sense of the word to me. "

Li Tong asked:" What are you going to do?>

Bao Xi Yuan Road:" Wechen is going to the south. "

" You're going to help Tao Chuankai?" Li Tong said:" Do you think that this war can be reversed with a small army? I don't want to give up the southern border, but I can't help it, the national strength of Qi is strong, second only to the Tang Dynasty. Unless Marshal Meng is transferred, the southern border will inevitably be lost. Even if you bring troops to support, you are just a moth to a fire. "

Bao Xiyuan said:" Wechen naturally knows. However, Weichen still wanted to ask His Majesty to issue an edict and let Weichen go to support Tao Chuankai. "

Li Tong's voice was already a little cold," Give me a good reason, or get out right away. "

Bao Xiyuan sighed. said:" Weichen just didn't want the people in the south to feel cold, and Weichen just wanted them to know that Datang didn't give up on them. "

Li Tong's body shook.

This is a heart-wrenching thing.

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he took the initiative to abandon the people in the south. However, Bao Xiyuan, a courtier, wanted to lead the troops to die calmly, just to tell those people that Datang did not give up on them.

Li Tong's mood suddenly became very depressed, and he turned around and didn't want Bao Xiyuan to see his face," I have no more soldiers at my disposal. "

" Wechen only needs five hundred horses. " Bao Xiyuan said.

After another long silence, Li Tongcai said:" I will allocate 500 Xuanjia troops to you, and the rest will be done for yourself. "

Bao Xiyuan knelt in front of Li Tong for the first time:" We're thanking for the will!"

Li Tong closed his eyes, his expression slightly painful.

??

About 300 miles west of Chang'an City, there is a mountain called Xuni Mountain.

The mountain is not very high, the altitude is about four or five hundred meters, there are several villages at the foot of the mountain, and it is quite lively on weekdays, but now there are wars everywhere, and there is almost no laughter in the village. As soon as the sun set, there was no light in the village.

However, on the back side of Suni Mountain, there is a piece of light.

Meng Zhulu led his 2,000 personal soldiers and set up camp here.

The central location of the camp is the big tent of the Chinese army of Meng Zhulu.

The military doctor was diagnosing Meng Zhulu's pulse.

Several adjutants stood aside, nervous.

As the time went on, the doctor's face became more and more ugly.

Finally, someone couldn't help it anymore and took the initiative to ask:" Doctor, what is the marshal's health?"

The doctor let go of his hand:" The marching for days has done a lot of damage to the marshal's body, and the old man can only prescribe a few pills to help recuperate, the key is to depend on the marshal himself. "

Meng Zhulu put down his sleeves and said lightly:" Just say it, how long does Ben Shuai have to live. "

The doctor didn't dare to speak.

Meng Zhulu said with a smile: " Do not worry. Let's just say it. "

The doctor licked his lips and said:" Conservative estimates, three months. "

The other lieutenants were immediately furious, and one of them rushed over and grabbed the doctor by the collar," What nonsense are you talking about?"

Meng Zhulu scolded:" What to do, let go of the doctor. "

The adjutant then loosened the doctor's collar.

Meng Zhulu motioned for the doctor to leave, and then said to the adjutants: " Okay, why are you all sad, isn't there still three months? Ben Shuai has lived long enough, and he can still do something for Datang before he dies, this life is enough. Let's all go out and call Jiang Ziyi in. "

The lieutenants departed, and a moment later a hairy boy ran in," Dashuai, are you looking for me?"

Meng Zhulu patted the position next to him:" Come and sit. "

Jiang Ziyi walked over and sat down," Dashuai, are you feeling better?"

Meng Zhulu said:" Don't talk about me, have you learned all the things you were taught a few days ago?"

Jiang Ziyi nodded: " Got it. "

" Show me. " Meng Zhulu said.

" Okay. " Jiang Ziyi jumped up after speaking, and began to use the things that Meng Zhulu had taught him in the house.

Meng Zhulu looked at it and bowed his head.

This kid was discovered by him by accident, and he was shocked when he met for the first time, this kid's talent was unmatched among the people Meng Zhulu met in his life, even Zhou Fei had to be soft in front of Jiang Ziyi.

So Meng Zhulu took him in and taught him carefully.

According to Meng Zhulu's plan, he is going to hand over this son to the master when he returns to Chang'an next time, and let the master educate him. It is a pity that the master has passed away, and the academy has also turned against the court, and it has become almost impossible to send this son to the academy.

Therefore, Meng Zhulu could only teach him more attentively, and strive to teach all the things he had learned in his life to the other party before he died.

The entire Meng Jiajun knew that Jiang Ziyi was very likely to become Meng Zhulu's successor, and he hated and loved him.

What I hate is that Jiang Ziyi's appearance has accelerated the decline of Meng Zhulu's body, and what I love is that Jiang Ziyi has an infinite future and can smoothly take over Meng Zhulu's class.

" How handsome, I'm learning very well. " After Jiang Ziyi's demonstration was completed, he said a little proudly.

Meng Zhulu shook his head:" It's still the same fault, too casual. This is your strength and your fatal weakness. In the face of the average enemy, this disadvantage is an advantage. And against opponents who are stronger than you, this shortcoming will kill you. "

Jiang Ziyi scratched his head and said:" I made a note of it. "

" I'm not a teacher after all. " Meng Zhulu said self-deprecatingly:" When I returned to Chang'an, I pulled down this old face and begged Mr. Da to teach you. Mr. Big has a calm personality and can just train you. "

Jiang Ziyi leaned over and said: " Dashuai, is the academy really as good as you say?Isn't that Zhou Fei really the son of the Demon King?"

Meng Zhulu frowned and said: " Who told you all about this?"

" That's what they all say. said that the master died just to save the demon king. That Zhou Fei was a sinner of the Tang Dynasty and should be put to death. " Jiang Ziyi said.

Meng Zhulu pressed Jiang Ziyi's shoulders and said word by word: " Don't mention this kind of thing in the future, you can question anyone, including Ben Shuai, but you must not question the academy or the master. The academy is the cornerstone of the Tang Dynasty, and the master is the patron saint of the Tang Dynasty. Do you see the red moon in the sky? Even if the Master is dead, he will hang above the nine heavens, illuminating the way ahead for my Tang Dynasty!"
