Chapter 1137: Troubled Waters
Li Yao asked Zuo Yiming: "What news does Li Qian have over there, and what is his plan?"
The scout on Zhao Xiao's side said that the governor of Jiangsu and the prefect of Huai'an took the initiative to welcome Li Qian into the city, but he didn't believe it.
Whether it is the governor of Jiangsu or the prefect of Huai'an, they have all been colleagues with him, and these two people are old treacherous and slippery people. It is not so much that they took the initiative to welcome Li Qian into the city, but that they saw Li Qian's soldiers and horses approaching the city, knowing that they could not defeat them, and they were unwilling to live and die with the city, so they simply pretended to be confused, and regarded Li Qianqin's affairs as a personal grudge between Li Qian and Zhao Xiao, and stood by in order to find a way to live.
Li Yao believed that Li Qian must have his own plans to enter the city in this way.
Zuo Yiming is Li Qian's in-law, and the two should communicate with each other.
Who knows that Zuo Yiming smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know what the prince has planned? At least not now." ”
Li Yao's face suddenly turned solemn.
He can understand Zhao Xiao's last resort, and he can also understand Li Qian's embarrassment at this time, but they can't be like a player, using people from all over the world as chess pieces, which is too irresponsible!
Li Yao asked Zuo Yiming: "In your opinion, what will Li Qian do next?"
"I can't guess!" Zuo Yiming looked honest and said sincerely, "I sent someone to greet the county lord of Jianan, but there is no reply!"
If you want to know what Li Qian's plans are, of course, it is best to ask the county lord of Jianan.
This is a phrase that circulates privately in northern officialdom.
Li Yao's face became even more grim.
Zuo Yiming smiled bitterly in his heart.
Before Li Qian set out on the expedition, he sent someone to send him a letter. Li Qian said that he wanted to clear the king's side. Although this was said tactfully, it was actually telling him that Li Qian was going to fight Zhao Xiao endlessly.
What else could he say?
At this time, Zuo Yiming didn't believe anyone, even if Li Yao asked him, he also put the words in his heart.
Li Yao couldn't ask anything from Zuo Yiming, so he lost his spirit. Zuo Yiming didn't want to talk to Li Yao about Li Qian anymore, so he hurriedly changed the topic and asked about what Zhao Xiao said in the imperial study before, which can be regarded as understanding the war. Li Yao is one of the few civil officials who is well versed in warfare. He didn't know Li Qian's plan, and he didn't know which wind he was better to stand in at this time, so he was in a big mess for a while, and he didn't want to think about it anymore, so he simply became Zuo Yiming's teacher and told him some experience in war.
The two chattered, but they also talked in the middle of the night, and when they woke up the next day, both of them had dark circles under their eyes. Fortunately, Yao Xian and the others were no better than them, and no one paid attention to them. Zhao Xiao even came up with several combat plans overnight, requiring the coordination of the six departments of the three academies.
Zhao Xiquan was counting on Li Qian to win, and was not interested in Zhao Xiao's arrangement at all, just sat there crookedly and listened to him.
Fortunately, Zhao Xiao didn't expect Zhao Xi to support him at all, and after seeing that everyone said that they would support his approach, he "escorted" the emperor back to the palace.
Zhao Xi was furious and asked Queen Liu: "Does he want to confine me in the harem?"
Empress Liu couldn't help sneering in her heart, and said "You only know at this time", but her face didn't show it at all, but said with a smile: "It's not that there is a saying that 'the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be obeyed'." I think the Hou Ye should be afraid that the emperor will oppose his opinion!"
Zhao Xi thinks not. Hearing Liu say this, he took a deep look at Liu.
Liu was frightened by him, but he still stabilized, his expression was still gentle, and he said: "Jinghai Hou is only afraid that he will be angry at this time, why should the emperor bother with him at this time? ”
Zhao Xi snorted softly, worried about Li Qianlai.
If Li Qian hadn't sent anyone to contact him from beginning to end, Li Qian would definitely want him to die. So what should he do?
The more Zhao Xi thought about it, the more he felt that he had a point.
When Empress Liu snuggled up in the middle of the night, although his heart was hot, he thought of his current situation and the eldest son of the emperor who he had finally decided to poison, so he coldly pushed Empress Liu away.
Empress Liu was cold in her heart.
What else don't you understand!
Zhao Xi will never have a child again before he is out of danger.
So what hope does she have?
Empress Liu turned around and silently shed a few tears with her back to Zhao Xi.
Li Qian's side was discussing how to cross the river.
Liu Li was temporarily borrowed by Jiang Xian and sent to Li Qian's side.
Li Qian felt that he would just have Xie Yuanxi by his side.
Liu Li had no choice but to touch his nose and said: "I also think that my coming over is of little use, but the county lord sent someone to send me over overnight as soon as he wrote a letter from the county......
He also found it boring!
Li Qian left the willow fence behind.
He knew what Jiang Xian meant.
Although Xie Yuanxi is loyal, he has always lacked the pattern of Liu Li, and at the critical moment of competing for the world, some things still have to be handed over to Liu Li.
Li Qian asked him about Li Changqing's daily life.
"All is well, sir. Liu Liang smiled, "I just hope that the county lord can bring the prince back to see him." ”
In some ways, Li Changqing is more paranoid. Just like the same junior, Li Dongzhi's children haven't seen Li Changqing for several years, but Li Changqing is obviously more worried about Brother Shen.
Li Qian also knew about his father's problem, so he didn't ask more, but talked about Jiang Xian: "Does the county lord have something to tell you?"
"No!" Liu Liang sighed, "I was suddenly carried into the carriage by the boss, and I didn't even have time to sort out my luggage, and all the things were bought on the road." "I didn't even have time to take the teapot with me.
Li Qian nodded, let him go down to rest first, and looked at it in front of Yutu for a long time, thinking carefully about the battles that crossed the river in the past.
Jiang Xian knew that Liu Liang had met Li Qian in Huai'an, and he settled down, and his heart was settled. I can't help but worry about Brother Shen, who is following Li Qian.
At this time in previous years, Brother Shen's friends had already gathered at home, ready to give Brother Shen a birthday. Against the backdrop of today's exceptionally deserted home. She and Li Dongzhi sighed: "I don't know if Brother Shen is used to being around his father? Jiangnan is warmer than ours, I only brought him four boxes of autumn clothes, I don't know if it's enough to wear?"
Li Dongzhi didn't dare to tell Jiang Xian, Li Qian quietly reduced Brother Shen'er's cage from four boxes to a small baggage, and the rest of the things were still in the lover's house, and no one could take them back.
"What do you have to worry about when you are with your big brother. She had no choice but to comfort Jiang Xian and said, "Why don't we go to my sister-in-law's temple to worship the Buddha in the next two days?"
Meng Fangling and others were there, drinking tea, eating vegetarian snacks, and the day passed. Jiang Xian said that if you think about it, your mood will be much better.
Jiang Xian thought that this idea was good, so he asked the little maid to bring the yellow calendar over, chose a day suitable for traveling, sent someone to ask Bai Su and others, and decided to go to the sister-in-law's temple to play for a few days.
The sister-in-law's temple got the news that it was naturally from the Jing Temple, but it couldn't be too obvious, for fear that people would know that there were distinguished guests in the temple and someone would disturb them.
