Chapter Seventy-Seven: Knowing Things Like God

Jingde praised: "Girl, it's rare for you to be so righteous, how can the uncle disagree?" There you go. ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Zixuan took the oil hammer and ran out.

When he arrived at the prison, he saw that Tang Jian was locked up in a one-person cell, Zixuan was very happy, so it would be easier to do. Tang Jian really didn't expect to meet Zixuan here, with a puzzled look in his eyes, "Miss Zixuan, why are you here?" ”

"I was captured by General Wei Chi." Zixuan took off the pearl hairpin on his head and handed it to the jailer, "Little brother, please drink this, General Wei Chi has allowed me to send some oil hammer to Lord Tang, so let us reminisce about the past." ”

The jailer went away happily. Tang Jian followed Li Yuan when he started his army from Jinyang, and of course he knew that Zixuan had been fighting with Shimin in the south and the north, but he didn't expect that she would also be captured, King Qin had always been very protective of her, how could he let her be captured? It can't be that King Qin is defeated, right? Tang Jian broke out in a cold sweat, "Miss Zixuan, why were you arrested, His Royal Highness King Qin?" ”

Zixuan said: "It's a long story...... and he told him about his experience of being arrested.

Tang Jian looked her up and down, and asked worriedly, "Wei Chi Jingde didn't treat you well, right?" ”

Zixuan replied with a smile: "Lord Xie Tang cares, and General Wei Chi is very good to me." ”

Tang Jian looked at the oil hammer in her hand, "The girl didn't come just to give me the oil hammer, right?" ”

"Lord Tang is smart, so he naturally has important things to discuss." Zixuan looked around, made sure that there was no one, and whispered, "Lord Tang, Dugu Huaien has rebelled." ”

"Huh?" Tang Jian couldn't believe his ears, "How is this possible." He's His Majesty's cousin! ”

"His Majesty is still Yang Guang's cousin!" Zi Xuan said, "His Majesty always sends edicts to blame him for not being good at fighting, and he has long held a grudge!" ”

"This ...... How does Miss Zixuan know? Tang Jian still didn't believe that Dugu Huaien would rebel.

Zixuan said: "Lord Tang forgot that I can pinch it?" ”

yes, how can this be forgotten? At the beginning, in the process of raising troops in Jinyang, Tang Jian could see Zixuan's ability, so he asked: "Then, what is Dugu Huaien going to do?" ”

Zixuan said: "Lord Tang, yesterday Wang Xing of Pusaka had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty under the onslaught of Dugu Huaien, and His Majesty was scheduled to personally go to Puban on the 17th day of the first month to surrender, and Dugu Huaien had already laid a net in Puban, and he had to wait for His Majesty to cross the Yellow River and start an incident. ”

Tang Jian was shocked. "That is what I said. Your Majesty's life is in danger! Does Miss Zixuan have a good plan? ”

Zixuan said: "For today's plan, someone has to go out and send a letter to His Majesty." Lord Tang, you are the only Tang Dynasty member here, and this matter can only be entrusted to you. ”

Tang Jian said solemnly: "For the sake of the Tang Dynasty." Tang Jian's death is not a pity. But how do I get out of this prison? ”

"I'll take care of that. Master Tang only needs to cooperate with me. Zixuan said solemnly, "It's just that it's the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, and His Majesty should choose to surrender during the day on the seventeenth." There is only a little more than a day left, and if Lord Tang gets out of this prison, he must hurry to the crossing of the Yellow River and stop His Majesty from crossing the river! ”

Tang Jian bowed, "If Tang Jian is out of prison, he will definitely live up to His Majesty and the girl's trust." ”

"Okay, without further ado, I'll figure it out now." Zixuan smiled knowingly.

Zixuan returned to Yu Chi Jingde and said, "Uncle Yu Chi, Lord Tang asked me to bring you a message. ”

"What?" Jingde asked.

Zixuan said: "Lord Tang said that please let him go back to 'discuss' with the emperor and persuade the emperor to give up the Hedong region." ”

Jingde sneered: "It's strange that I believe him!" ”

Zixuan said, "If you don't believe it, you can keep me here as a hostage." ”

"I don't believe that Tang Jian can come up with this trick if he wants to live, I don't believe that Li Yuan can give up Hedong!" Jingde Road.

Zixuan secretly complained to himself, this trick is recorded in the history books, why didn't this Wei Chi Jingde buy it? How far has history deviated? Yuan Junbao, who revealed the mutiny, was not there, Liu Shirang, who reported the news, was not there, and even the excuse to persuade Wei Chi Jingde was not right!

"Actually, Lord Tang also has his own selfishness." Zixuan began to make up, "Lord Tang's wife is pregnant, and the doctor said that she will give birth in two days." This Lord Tang is also old, and he doesn't have a son yet, so his wife is in a hurry. As the saying goes: 'There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater.' So Lord Tang is very worried about his wife's birth, so you can let him go home and have a look." ”

Jingde thoughtfully, "Are you asking me to fulfill his filial piety?" ”

"Yes, yes. Uncle, a gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and besides, Lord Tang is a civil official, and he can't lead troops to fight, so you have no loss if you let him go! Do you say, uncle? Zixuan continued to agitate him.

Jingde nodded, yes, he is still afraid of Tang Jian's civil official, "What you said has some truth." ”

Zixuan struck while the iron was hot, "Then uncle, you can let him go now, I went to see Lord Tang just now, and he was about to die." ”

Wei Chi Jingde came to the prison with Zixuan and said to Tang Jian: "Tang Jian, this general has fulfilled your filial piety, go back to see your wife quickly." ”

Filial piety? Madam? Tang Jian didn't know what Zixuan said about Chi Jingde, so he had to thank him sincerely.

Wei Chi Jingde looked at Zixuan and said: "Girl, I robbed you here just to escape for your life, and now that you have escaped, I also promised Li Shimin to send you back, why don't you go with Tang Jian." ”

Zixuan and Tang Jian didn't expect Wei Chi Jingde to do this, Tang Jian glanced at Zixuan and wanted to take her away. Ke Zixuan thought that Tang Jian was going to go and just wanted to rush to Li Yuan's side quickly, she didn't ride her horse well, and she could only delay time when she walked with Tang Jian. If Tang Jian can't reach the crossing of the Yellow River in more than one day, Li Yuan will have to move his head, history will be rewritten, and she can't be a sinner through the ages. So he shook his head at Tang Jian with a smile, looked at Wei Chi Jingde, and said, "I'm not leaving, but I promised His Royal Highness that I want to persuade you to surrender, but you haven't surrendered yet, let me go back How can I see His Second Highness?" ”

"Girl, don't make trouble, go back quickly, I'm afraid that Li Shimin's kid is worried about you!" Wei Chi Jingde teased Zixuan, and seemed to have seen that her relationship with Li Shimin was not ordinary.

Zixuan will make a plan, "Since you have seen it, then I will say it directly, Li Shimin took me on the expedition because he didn't worry about leaving me in Chang'an, and his wives and concubines were not easy to mess with." Now Lord Tang wants to go back to Chang'an, not to King Qin's big tent, uncle, do you think I can go back with me? ”

Jingde suddenly realized, "That's the case! Then stay and continue to persuade me! ”

Wei Chi Jingde prepared a fast horse for Tang Jian, and Tang Jian hurriedly got on the horse, and galloped away like an arrow.

On the morning of the 17th day of the first lunar month, Li Yuan set sail and was about to board a ship and sail to Pusaka to receive surrender. I only heard a person and a horse roaring, "Your Majesty, please stay, the minister has an urgent report!" ”

Li Yuan Dingqing saw that it was Tang Jian, who got off the ship, and asked in surprise: "Tang Jian, aren't you captured?" How did you get here? ”

Tang Jian got off his horse panting and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty...... Dugu Huaien...... rebelled, and the minister was in the prison of Wei Chi Jingde...... Miss De Zixuan helps...... Come back and send a letter to His Majesty...... Your Majesty must never cross the river! ”

Li Yuan broke out in a cold sweat, "What? Dugu Huaien rebelled! Is this true? ”

Tang Jian said: "Seriously! Miss Zixuan calculated, she asked the minister to bring a message to His Majesty, don't cross the river and surrender. ”

Li Yuan had a calm face, "This Dugu Huai'en dared to rebel, and I was almost killed by him!" Thanks to Zixuan, what about Zixuan? How could she be in the prison of Wei Chi Jingde? ”

Tang Jian told Li Yuan about Zixuan's capture, and Li Yuan said angrily: "Zixuan is now my life-saving benefactor, this Wei Chi Jingde actually attacked a woman of her, and I can't spare him!" ”

Having said that, the most urgent thing at the moment is to deal with Dugu Huaien first. Li Yuan canceled the plan to cross the river and surrender, and instead sent an envoy to pass Dugu Huaien across the river to meet him. Dugu Huaien didn't know that the matter had been exposed, so he crossed the river alone to see Li Yuan, was taken down by Li Yuan on the spot, and wiped out his subordinates, the evidence was conclusive, and Dugu Huaien had to admit his guilt. On 19 February, Li Yuan ordered the execution of Dugu Huai'en and his henchmen.

After dealing with Dugu Huaien, Li Yuan began to clean up Wei Chi Jingde. Li Yuan wrote a letter to Lu Chongmao in Xia County, claiming that as long as he killed Wei Chi Jingde, he would return to the Tang Dynasty and continue to garrison Xia County. Of course Lu Chongmao is willing, he is almost unable to support it, rather than being defeated and surrendering, it is better to take the initiative, not to mention that Li Yuan has offered such good conditions. So he wrote a letter to Wei Chi Jingde and invited him to come to Xia County to discuss military affairs.

On this day, Wei Chi Jingde came to Zixuan and told her: "Girl, uncle is going out for a few days, you can tell your subordinates if you need anything." ”

"Uncle, are you going to Xia County?" Zixuan asked him with a smile.

Jingde was taken aback, "How do you know?" ”

"What did Lu Chongmao ask you to do?" Zixuan did not answer the rhetorical question.

Jingde glanced at her warily, "This can't sue you!" ”

"As for me, I don't know in what name he invited you to go," Zixuan said slowly, "but I know what he actually invited you for. ”

"What...... What purpose? ”

"Take your head, so that you can return to the Tang Dynasty!" Zixuan put his hand on Jingde's neck, "Our emperor has already informed him, as long as he kills you, he will be considered to be obedient to the Tang Dynasty, and let him continue to garrison Xia County." ”

Jingde gasped, "Girl, is this true?" How do you know? You...... Why do you help me and not your emperor? Zixuan smiled and wrenched his fingers and said, "First, this is true, as for whether you believe it or not, it's your business; second, I can pinch and count so I know about it; Third, I'm not helping you and not helping our emperor, if such a rare generation of famous generals is killed by the emperor in anger, it will be a loss for the emperor, so I am helping the emperor, so as not to regret it in the future.
