Chapter Ninety-Five: A Broken Heart
Ziyi hugged his waist tightly, and her grievances and sorrows turned into strings of tears, "Mao Gong, thank you." Only you are really good to me, even my own sister betrayed me, only you don't abandon me......"
Li Shiyun sighed, "It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to come to see you often in the future, you live in this lively Jinghong Palace, it's not easy for me to come in, you have to take good care of yourself." ”
"I know." Ziyi looked up and looked at him with tears in her eyes, "You have to take care too." Mao Gong, are you willing to wait for me? When I get my revenge, I'll go with you! ”
Li Shiyun nodded with tears, "I'll wait for you, forever!" ”

In a blink of an eye, Zixuan had been living in the Baifu Hall for nearly a month. On this day, the people of the world came to visit Wan Guifei, just like when they were in Jinyang, the people brought a lot of clothes, jewelry, and food to honor Wan Guifei. Zixuan stood beside Wan Guifei and didn't dare to raise his eyes at him.
Wan Guifei said with a smile: "King Qin is still so polite, and now there is nothing missing in this palace, but this palace still has to thank you for your heart." ”
Shimin said respectfully: "What the concubine said is obvious, Shimin's mother went early, and it was my aunt who took care of our brothers, and honoring my aunt was what Shimin should do." ”
Shimin's aunt called Wan Guifei a lot closer, and the two talked about Li Kuan's diet and daily life, and Shimin was about to leave.
Concubine Wan naturally knew the purpose of his trip, so she called: "Zixuan, send King Qin to the palace." ”
"Huh?" Zixuan didn't expect Concubine Wan to make such a move, but she had no choice but to agree, "Yes." ”
Zi Xuan stubbornly followed Shi Min out of the Baifu Palace, without saying anything all the way, after passing the Baifu Gate, Zi Xuan felt that he had completed the task, "Zixuan will be sent here, His Royal Highness King Qin will walk slowly." ”
"The mother is in such a hurry to go back?" Shimin's cold voice was mocking and disdainful.
"What do you call me? Mother? Zixuan heard his sentence "Mother Concubine" like a lightning strike, his eyes were full of shock, and his body involuntarily took a step back.
Shimin snorted coldly, "Isn't it a matter of time before this concubine is sealed?" With your gentle temperament, coupled with the ability to pinch and calculate, it is very easy to win the favor of your father, and the people of the world are just here to congratulate their mother in advance. The concubine is also a mother, and the people of the world also ask the concubine to take more care of the people in the future! ”
"You...... That's what you think of me? Zixuan heard his heart crack little by little like a piece of glass, and finally shattered into fine slag on the ground.
Shimin hooked his lips and smiled, "Isn't it?" What can't be married here, what can't be told if you have a hard time, only I, a fool, believe you. You didn't choose me, nor the prince, because none of our trees were big enough. This is naturally the largest tree in the world, I can't see that you still have a pursuit! Now it's a wish! ”
Zixuan listened to his evil words, only to feel a burst of blackness in front of him, and a self-deprecating smile on his face, "Yes, I got my wish, thank you His Royal Highness King Qin for congratulating me in advance." ”
Zixuan's footsteps were vain, and he staggered and turned to leave.
She actually admitted it! She said she got her wish! These days, Shimin has been trying to find an opportunity for her to give herself an explanation, maybe there are other reasons, but she admitted that she was originally going to climb the dragon and the phoenix! Shimin only felt that he was like a broken string, and he didn't have the strength to think, and he didn't even know how he got back to the Qin Palace.
"Why? She taught me true love and then abandoned me? Shimin kept asking himself, "Why did she hurt me so much when I fell in love with someone for the first time in my life?" Why? Why? ……”

After that day, the people of the world fell ill and did not go to court for several days. When he went to court again, he saw Jiancheng and found that his eldest brother's face was as pale as himself.
Just when the two brothers looked at each other in a daze, Tang Jian stepped forward, "Your Majesty, I will destroy Xue Ju and Ping Liu Wuzhou in the Tang Dynasty, and the rear has been stabilized, and it is a good time to chase the Central Plains." Looking at it, only Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande are qualified to compete for the world now, and they have become a strong force with my Datang, and the two of them are constantly attacking each other for a period of time, and this is the best time for us to make a move. If we wait for them to decide the winner and the strength of the two sides merges, we will not be able to deal with it. ”
Li Yuan stroked the dragon's beard and nodded. Pei Lin saw the opportunity and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks what Lord Tang said is very true. At this time, we should first send troops to Luoyang to fight Wang Shichong, Luoyang is the eastern capital of the Sui Dynasty, and Wang Shichong thinks that he can stand out from the crowd by sitting in the eastern capital. If I take the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, then the two capitals of the original Sui Dynasty are in our hands, and the Tang Dynasty's domination of the world will be unstoppable! ”
The ministers agreed with Pei Lian's words.
Li Yuan looked at Shimin, who was silent, and asked, "Shimin, what do you think?" ”
Shimin heard his father call him, stepped forward and said: "Father, my son thinks that Master Pei is reasonable, and we should send troops to Luoyang." And the sooner the better, as Lord Tang said, if it is late, no matter who wins Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong, Hebei and Henan will be unified, and then the shape will not be good for us. ”
Li Yuan continued to look at Shimin and said, "Is my son sure to win this battle?" ”
Shimin said: "Father, it is the duty of the son to open up territory for the Tang Dynasty, but the son has been unwell recently. In order not to delay the fighter, he also asked his father to choose another good general. ”
Li Yuan was unhappy in his heart, what kind of physical discomfort, I think you are uncomfortable, but his face is silent, "Then Shimin, who do you think is the right person to be in charge?" ”
Shimin smiled strangely, "Father, the son thinks Yuanji is suitable." ”
"What? ...... "Before Li Yuan could speak, Yuan Ji couldn't hold it anymore, and thought: Li Shimin, are you trying to play me to death?" That Luoyang City is strong and thick, can I fight it? Li Yuan flew with a knife in the eye, and Yuan Ji realized his rudeness, and said curtly, "Father, the son doesn't have much actual combat experience, and I'm afraid that I will be entrusted by my father." ”
"The fourth brother is too humble." Shimin continued, "At the beginning, Jinyang raised troops, thanks to the fourth brother guarding Jinyang, so that we had no worries and took Daxing by chance." Jinyang has also repeatedly reported the news that the fourth brother is diligent in training, the fourth brother is brave and fierce, familiar with the art of war, the father should give the fourth brother a chance to show, and let the world see that our Li family brothers are all heroes! ”
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty hid their faces with their sleeves and snickered, this King of Qin said something really wonderful!
Yuan Ji slandered: Li Shimin, are you praising me? It's clearly scolding me!
Li Yuan's face was ugly, Li Yuanji guarded Jinyang and gave Jinyang to Liu Wuzhou; Li Yuanji's training, he had heard of it for a long time, it was a killing game; said that Li Yuanji was brave and fierce, familiar with the art of war, and even ghosts would not believe it; If the Li brothers are all heroes, then Li Yuanji, a bear, must be excluded first. Let Li Yuanji take command to fight Luoyang, that is to send the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to Wang Shichong to eat!
"I'll think about this matter again, let's retreat first." Li Yuan got up from the dragon chair.

On this day, Li Yuan took Pei Lin and two imperial doctors to the Qin Palace. Shimin let Wujian go out to greet him, and he lay on the couch in the Zichen Palace.
When Li Yuan arrived at the Zichen Palace, the people did not get up, but only saluted on the couch and said, "Please forgive your father's sins, my son's ministers are not in good health today, and I can't give my father a big salute." ”
Li Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to help him lie down, "My son doesn't have to be polite, my father is also worried about your illness, so he specially brought the imperial doctor to show you." ”
"Thank you, Father." Shimin let the two imperial doctors take the pulse.
Those two imperial doctors have finished taking the pulse, you look at me, I look at you, how do you say this? King Qin is not sick at all! If you say it directly, it means that King Qin is pretending to be sick, how can the two of them be offended by the two little imperial doctors? If you don't say it, it's a crime of bullying, how many heads do you have?
The two stared at each other for a long time, and one of them said in a slurching manner: "Emperor Qi, King Qin...... His Royal Highness King Qin is fine, it's just ...... It's just that the spirit is not good...... Maybe it's overthinking...... Poor sleep. ”
"Exactly, the Imperial Doctor is really skilled." Shimin said, "Father, Erchen has been having the same dream recently, dreaming that a thin woman is far away from Erchen, and Erchen should not call her, and Erchen can't see her face clearly. disturbed the sons and daughters who couldn't sleep peacefully every night, and had a headache all day. ”
Li Yuan said in his heart, why can't you see her face clearly? You can see it clearly, isn't it Yang Zixuan?
"Shimin, my father knows that you have been unwell lately. But the battle in Luoyang is not trivial, you said to send Yuanji, how can I rest assured? If he doesn't do anything wrong, he burns high incense, can he still be counted on? Shimin, you are the most capable son of your father and the emperor, and you are also the most outstanding marshal of the Tang Dynasty, this Luoyang War is related to whether the Tang Dynasty can dominate the world, and only by sending you to me can I rest assured. Do you think this will work, my father will send Yuanji as the deputy marshal to give you a hand, and bring a few imperial doctors to take care of your body at any time? Li Yuan said bitterly.
Shimin's face was bitter, "Thank you father for your love, but Shimin is not so remarkable." In fact, every time she goes to war, it is mainly Yang Zixuan, and Erchen relies on her ability to grasp the fighter and achieve victory. And the son is now sick, if he leads the troops to fight Luoyang, he is afraid that he will be entrusted by his father, and then the people of the world will not become sinners of the Tang Dynasty? In fact, it's the same to let Yuan Ji take Yang Zixuan there, as long as she is there, how can she not win? As long as my father is willing to cut his love......"
Li Yuan took a deep breath and stood up, "I understand, you have a good rest." I will reconsider the Battle of Luoyang. ”
Out of the Qin Palace, Pei Lin asked Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, why didn't the minister understand?" Why did the King of Qin strongly advocate that the King of Qi should fight this battle? ”
Li Yuan snorted: "What's so incomprehensible about this? He is asking me to 'cut love' and return him to Yang Zixuan. ”
"However, what he said was to let King Qi take Yang Zixuan to battle?" Pei Lin still couldn't figure it out.
Li Yuan said: "Isn't this obvious: just Yuanji's piece of material, it's useless to bring him eight Yang Zixuan!" ”R1152
