"Di Gongzi, can you inform Di Ge Lao, I want to see him!" Lu Xiaoxian asked with a smile.

"Don't report!" Di Guangyuan shook his head.

Lu Xiaoxian's smile froze on his face, and he said with some embarrassment: "Di Gongzi, why is this?" ”

Di Guangyuan glanced at Lu Xiaoxian, and said seriously: "My father has instructed that as long as Lu Gongzi comes to the house, he doesn't need to be informed, just go to see him directly!" ”

After listening to Di Guangyuan's answer, Lu Xiaoxian almost didn't go up and beat him up. This guy was originally quite honest, but now he has learned badly, and he has quietly teased himself.

It was rare to see Lu Xiaoxian eating deflated, which made Di Guangyuan very happy and laughed.

"Laugh at your size!" Lu Xiaoxian said angrily, "Hurry up and prepare, I'm going to go out with Di Ge Lao later!" ”

"Where to go?" Di Guangyuan asked in amazement.

Lu Xiaoxian rolled his eyes and said solemnly: "We are going to Longmen Mountain!" ”

"Longmen Mountain?" Di Guangyuan was a little confused, and asked, "What are you going to Longmen Mountain for?" ”

"Elder Di Ge said that in a few days he is going to resign as prime minister and go to Longmen Mountain with me to reopen the autumn wind break! So, we're going to go to the same place and discuss the opening of the restaurant! Lu Xiaoxian said solemnly, "By the way, Di Ge Lao said, when the time comes, I will take Di Gongzi with you, after all, you have experience as a shopkeeper!" ”

"What?" Di Guangyuan's face suddenly showed a bitter color, "Is this true?" ”

"Of course it's true! If you don't believe it, you can ask Di Ge Lao in person later! Lu Xiaoxian patted Di Guangyuan on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we are all old acquaintances, and the salary we will pay you will definitely be more than the original, and we will not treat you badly!" Alright, let's get ready for the carriage! We'll be off in a minute! ”

Di Guangyuan looked at Lu Xiaoxian suspiciously, and his heart was a little up.

Although Di Guangyuan felt that Lu Xiaoxian's words were a little unreliable, he didn't know the bottom in his heart.

With Lu Xiaoxian here, anything can happen.

Last time, Lu Xiaoxian successfully fooled Di Renjie to run the Autumn Wind Break together. If this is true, it will be fatal.

Seeing that Di Guangyuan's complexion kept changing, Lu Xiaoxian ignored him anymore, turned around and went to the main hall of Di Mansion.

While walking, Lu Xiaoxian was happy in his heart: Master Di, you want to play with me, you are still a little tender.

Lu Xiaoxian entered the main hall, and sure enough, he saw Di Renjie talking with an official in his fifties.

Seeing Lu Xiaoxian come in, Di Renjie showed a look of surprise on his face, and hurriedly stood up and greeted him: "Master Lu, when did you come back?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian saluted Di Renjie: "Xiaoxian has seen Di Ge Lao!" I arrived in Luoyang yesterday! ”

The official next to him saw that Di Renjie was so polite to Lu Xiaoxian, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Elder Di Ge, I don't know if this is ......?"

Di Renjie laughed and said: "He is my old friend, named Lu Xiaoxian!" ”

Ji Ji is tall, and likes to hold his head high when he walks, looking high and looking into the distance, so he is nicknamed "Wangliu Camel".

Although Lu Xiaoxian had never seen Ji Ji, judging from the figure of the person in front of him, he was Ji Ji.

"The grass people meet Ji Jaefu!" Lu Xiaoxian saluted Ji Xuan.

Ji Ji replied to Lu Xiaoxian with a blank face, he didn't know why Lu Xiaoxian was able to tell his identity in one bite.

"Come on, come on, Master Lu, please take a seat!" Di Renjie greeted Lu Xiao

Sit down.

After letting his subordinates serve tea, Di Renjie asked in detail about Lu Xiaoxian's departure from Luoyang in these days.

Lu Xiaoxian answered all questions, but only briefly introduced the situation to Di Renjie. If you really want to talk about it in detail, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it in two or three hours.

Despite this, Ji Shuo on the side couldn't help but be surprised when he heard it. He didn't expect Lu Xiaoxian to do so many things with a cloth coat, no wonder Di Renjie would value him so much.

After listening to Lu Xiaoxian, Di Renjie asked eagerly: "Lu Gongzi, you are from Yingzhou, what do you think of the current situation, and how should the imperial court deal with it?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Di Renjie: "Presumably Your Majesty has already made a decision, can you tell me about it?" ”

Speaking of the imperial court's final decision on the rebellion in Yingzhou, Di Renjie couldn't help but be a little worried.

The court proposed to send troops to quell the rebellion, and the ministers had no objection. But in the selection of the coach, there were some waves.

Wu Sansi naturally had a positive attitude, and the person he recommended was naturally his Wu family, especially Wu Youyi, the king of Jian'an, who was good friends with him, and even offered to be in charge in person.

Di Renjie became a ruler of the country, and also recommended several people, Xue Rengui's son Xue Ne, Liangzhou Governor Tang Xiujing, and even Wang Xiaojie and Lou Shide, who were demoted not long ago.

But Wu Zetian's attitude has always been noncommittal.

Di Renjie could see that the empress was very cautious and hesitant in appointing generals this time.

The side matter is urgent, and Wu Zetian and the ministers are not given too many opportunities to hesitate, although Wu Zetian is cautious, but he is by no means a forward-looking and hesitant character.

In the end, Wu Zetian made a quick decision.

After listening to Di Renjie, Lu Xiaoxian probably knew the final result of the court discussion: first, he changed the names of Li Quanzhong and Sun Wanrong; the second is to appoint Wu Sansi as the commander of the counterinsurgency army; The third is to send 28 generals to participate in the counterinsurgency.

Wu Zetianxia changed Li Quanzhong's name to "Li Wanzhong" and Sun Wanrong's name to "Sun Wanqi".

It seems that when Ashina Gulu established the Later Turkic Khanate, Wu Zetian was helpless against it, and renamed it "Bu Zulu" to vent his anger.

As for whether Wu Sansi is in command or not, Lu Xiaoxian doesn't bother to ask at all, he knows that this battle will be lost, so it doesn't matter who is in charge.

As for sending twenty generals, it is estimated that Wu Zetian thought of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai.

The twenty-eight generals of Yuntai are the twenty-eight generals under the command of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, who helped him dominate the world and rejuvenate the Han dynasty.

According to folklore, the 28 Nakshatras of Yuntai will correspond to the 28 Nakshatras of the heavens, which are the reincarnation of the 28 Nakshatras of the heavens.

Wu Zetian made up such an auspicious figure, which shows that his determination to quell the rebellion in Yingzhou in one fell swoop is very firm.

It is said that Li Qiao, a member of the Fengge House, wrote 28 letters of the general system one after another with his wonderful pen, and the text was completed in one go without adding points.

Now, Lu Xiaoxian is most concerned about who the twenty-eight generals are.

Zhang Xuanyu, the general of Jinwuwei on the right, Cao Renshi, the general of Yangwei on the left, Ma Renjie, Sinong Shaoqing, and Li Duozuo, the general of Taowei on the left......

Most of them are the third and fourth rank members of the imperial court, and the specifications of this expedition are not low.

Zhang Xuanyu, the rebellion of the Lingnan Fang people two years ago was quelled by this person.

Li Duozuo, who has lived two years in the winter, is the leader of the army, and this person has been guarding the forbidden palace for many years, although he is a native of the Forbidden Palace, his qualifications are very profound, and he is trusted by the empress.

Cao Renshi, these years are big Thursday

When using soldiers, you can always see their names in the book.

Of course, some of them are also used to make up the numbers.

For example, Lu Xiaoxian's old acquaintances Chen Xuanli and Guo Zhenran are also among them.

Chen Xuanli returned from Taozhou and was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general of the Yulin Army from Sipin.

Guo Zhen is the main guest of the Ministry of Rites on the fifth grade, and now he has also become the right guard of the fourth grade.

The generals and lieutenant generals of the Sixteen Guards, the Shaoqing of the Fusi, the Lang Zhong of the Six Divisions, plus the local governors and guards, are simply a hodgepodge.

Twenty-eight generals.

This made Lu Xiaoxian a little headache, if there were Mr. Wang's people among them, how could he screen them one by one?

"Elder Di Ge, what is the movement of the Khitan now?" Lu Xiaoxian retracted his mind and asked Di Renjie.

Di Shijie replied: "Ten days ago, Chongzhou was broken by the Khitan, and the deputy envoy of the Longshan Army was captured. Five days ago, the Khitan attacked Danzhou again and was repelled by Zhang Jiujie, the deputy head of Qingbian Province. ”

"I didn't leave Yingzhou for a long time, I didn't expect there to be so many actions?" Lu Xiaoxian took a breath and hesitated: "It seems that the Khitan has a lot of appetite!" ”

Seeing that Di Renjie and Lu Xiaoxian both had sad faces, Ji Ji couldn't help it, and said loudly: "Old Di Ge, are you looking too highly at those Khitans, more than 20 generals and hundreds of thousands of troops, they will definitely be like Mount Tai crushing eggs, and the Khitan rebels will definitely be wiped out!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Ji Xuan, shook his head slightly, and did not speak.

Not only Ji Xuan, but also the ministers who estimated that Wu Zetian and the central center still didn't think that the Khitan rebellion would have much impact.

In their opinion, when Afugu united with the Xi people to make a rebellion, it was not easily suppressed, but it made Xue Rengui's martial arts famous.

The Khitan rebellion was at most larger, but it was not enough to make the Great Zhou court like a great enemy.

After all, the Khitan is not Tibetan, and it is even far inferior to the post-Turks who were defeated three years ago. It is normal for Wu Zetian and his ministers to have a heart of contempt.

The little Khitan actually worked with so many famous generals and such a huge army, it was inevitable that there was some fuss, and it was also used to kill chickens!

Di Renjie didn't answer, and looked at Lu Xiaoxian: "Master Lu, what do you think?" ”

"It's not a question of the number of generals and troops at all!" Lu Xiaoxian shook his head slowly, his eyes filled with melancholy: "A slogan will hit the sore spot of the court situation, you really can't underestimate the other generation!" ”

Di Renjie and Ji Ji were silent.

Since the Tianzhu Revolution, the issue of the succession of Sheji has always been the main contradiction within the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Wu Zetian spared no effort to purge and weaken the "anti-military" forces, but inside and outside the government and the opposition, there have been no fewer people who miss the old Tang Dynasty.

More people have set their eyes on Wu Zetian a hundred years later, and about the heir, the emperor and the courtiers have entered a state of "tacit understanding".

Now, under the banner of supporting Li Xian, the king of Luling, the Khitan has really stirred up the nerves of some people, and directly picked out the contradictions hidden under the surface.

Di Renjie was quite worried about this, and he asked cautiously: "Young Master Lu, do you think Your Majesty will ...... to King Luling?"

Under Wu Zetian's suspicion, will he make a move on Li Xian or even Li Dan because of this?

Di Renjie was worried about the turmoil in the court, and he was even more worried about Li Xian's safety.

Li Xian's death, even after more than ten years, is still vivid, how can it not make people feel palpitations.
