Xue Ping's eyes erupted with fire, looked at Li Ze, who was a little shocked in front of him, and said word by word: "General Li, now that the emperor is vomiting blood and bedridden again, and the prince is crying in front of the bed, do you want His Majesty the Emperor to also die in Huguan, so that your heart is as you want?" ”

Li Ze was dumbfounded, and after a while, he said slowly: "Brother Xue, whether you believe it or not, I never wanted the queen to die." Even though I was saddened by the death of my mother, I really didn't expect it to be like this. ”

Xue Ping smiled: "Yes, you didn't do anything, you just didn't move under the garrison Luzhou City, you just guarded the old lady's spirit and refused to step into Huguan." What do you mean by force? Is it called forcing to stand in front of people with a knife? ”

Li Ze opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything more.

Xue Ping was right, he was upset, he was uneasy, and everything he did was indeed a demonstration to the imperial court. In other words, it is indeed forced.

Zhang Hui carefully read the letter in his hand, raised his eyes, looked at Xue Ping and said: "Xue Shilang, the matter has come to this point, it is irreparable, and the festival commander really didn't expect such a thing to happen." In fact, after I arrived last night, the commander was already preparing to launch an attack in Luzhou, if you don't believe me, you can go out of the account now, grab a random general and ask, isn't that the case? Of course, there are also records of the Chinese army scribes. ”

Xue Ping said dejectedly: "What's the use of talking about this now?" ”

"Xue Shilang is here, shouldn't it be just to smash a stone! I think what we need to do now is to deal with the aftermath and how to handle such a matter well so that the bad influence does not spread and affect the morale of the military. Zhang Hui raised the letter in his hand: "In the letter, the queen attached the prince Li Ketuo to the festival marshal, and even wanted the festival marshal to serve as the prince and teach the prince, so she also had this thought, right?" ”

Of course, Xue Ping knew the purpose of the queen's arrangement. The reason why I am angry now is because it is difficult to get rid of the blockade in my heart, and after being pulled back to reality by Zhang Hui, I finally slowly regained my senses.

"Before I came, I had already discussed it clearly with Tian Shizhong and General Qin, but I just said that the queen had a long journey and couldn't sleep at night because of taking care of His Majesty, so that her old illness recurred and she died." He choked up a little. "General Qin's soldiers and horses have completely blocked the Huguan, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"What does His Majesty the Emperor mean?" Li Ze asked in a deep voice.

"Before His Majesty fell into a coma, he only said one sentence, and dealt with everything according to the queen's wishes." Xue Ping said.

Zhang Hui nodded: "That's good, in this way, we also know Your Majesty's thoughts, and ask Xue Shilang to go back to Huguan first, and we will make some arrangements here." ”

Xue Ping raised his head and said, "General Li, at this moment, aren't you still entering the Huguan?" ”

"Xue Shilang, please come back first, and I'll be there later." Li Ze nodded.

Xue Ping's trip, in fact, one of the most important purposes is to let Li Ze enter Huguan, if Li Ze still doesn't go, it basically means that he has officially broken with the imperial court, and now Li Ze has promised, he has achieved his goal. No matter what he thinks in his heart, there is one basic fact that the current court, the emperor, and the crown prince are inseparable from Li Ze. Only Li Ze can barely maintain the already crumbling Tang Dynasty Miao descendants.

Li Dang followed closely behind Xue Ping with palpitations, when Xue Ping smashed a stone at Li Ze earlier, it scared him to the core, although a stone could not hurt Li Ze, but for him, it was already a dereliction of duty to let Xue Ping throw this stone out.

Li Mi followed closely and caught up with Xue Ping and his party at the gate of the camp, Li Ze asked Li Mi to come and send a cavalry to escort Xue Ping back to Huguan.

Li Ze's camp is more than ten miles away from Huguan, and now Huguan can be said to be extremely chaotic, and Xue Ping is riding alone, if something goes wrong in the middle of the road when he goes back, Li Zeke will really jump into the Yellow River and can't wash it, and he will really have to break with the imperial court.

In the big tent, Li Ze read the letter from the queen to him carefully, and sighed: "This woman is really not simple, they originally owed me, but now it seems that I owe them." This is a yellow mud horse falling into the pants, not but. ”

Zhang Hui glanced at Li Ze deeply: "Jie Shuai, deep down in your heart, you really don't want the queen to pay for the old lady's life?" ”

"At first, there were." Li Ze thought for a while and said, "The moment I knew how my mother left, I really had the intention of lifting a knife to kill the queen, but slowly, I also figured it out." At that moment, standing in the position of the queen, perhaps this was the most instinctive reaction. ”

After a pause, Li Ze said: "I asked Qiao'er, if I encountered the same situation, and Xia He happened to be on my side, would she push Xia He in front of me to block this knife." ”

Zhang Hui smiled: "What did Madame say?" ”

She didn't hesitate to say that of course she would. For in her eyes I am the heavens. Even if she has to pay a huge price for it afterwards, as long as she can save my life, she will do whatever it takes. Li Ze spread his hands and said.

"It's human nature! Putting aside the identity of the emperor and empress, just the love of husband and wife, the queen's move, the world will not be too sick. ”

"So, now it's time to roast me on the fire." Li Ze said helplessly: "Originally, I had already thought about it, as long as the emperor was willing to make some amends to me in other aspects, this matter would be put down like this." But now that something has happened, everything is naturally in vain. ”

"It's not going to be a bath." Zhang replied: "I'm afraid that there are more than the festival marshal imagined, after experiencing this incident, whether it is internal or external, I know the power of the festival marshal better, of course, the bad side will also be reflected, although this matter can be sealed, but if the mouth of Yoyo is completely blocked?" Don't talk about it openly, there are always discussions in secret, which has some impact on the reputation of the marshal. ”

Li Ze nodded.

"Second, whether it's the marshal and His Majesty the Emperor, or the crown prince, I'm afraid I'm going to have a dislike for this." Zhang Hui analyzed: "Now the emperor is under the fence and has to be wronged, but after this incident, he is only afraid that he will be more thirsty for power and power." Xue Ping, Qin Zhao, these people are people who are naturally on the emperor's side, and they can't be bought by us. And people like Han Qi are afraid that they will also move closer to the imperial power in the future. In this way, their strength is not weak. ”

Li Ze said lightly: "I don't care about this. Even if they add up, there's nothing to fear me. Wanting to threaten me with strength is delusional, but if the queen dies like this, or Xue Ping carries a stone to hit me like this, it makes me more scrupled. ”

"That's exactly what happened." Zhang replied: "Selfless people are always admirable, and pure ministers are always helpless. On the contrary, people like Han Qi are easier to deal with. ”

"The queen died, let me carry a big black cauldron, don't say it, forget it, it's not a black cauldron, I can only carry this matter, but she also put a set of shackles on me, and if I want to untie this shackle, I'm afraid it will take longer." Li Ze raised the letter in his hand and said, "The emperor's health has always been bad, maybe it will be gone at some point, but the crown prince is still young." Sir, tell me, such a doll who is only afraid of me and already has hatred, but I have to take it with me all the time to teach, is there a meaning of raising tigers? Do you say I'm giving it to you? Or do you raise him like a pig? Let him be a humanoid stamp? ”

Li Ze said a little unscrupulously, any of these words would be a big rebellion when it was spread, but Zhang Hui didn't care.

"Now Your Majesty must not have another accident." Zhang Hui shook his head and said: "Jie Shuai now wants to do everything possible to let him live longer, as for the prince, even if you don't teach, Xue Ping won't teach them?" Rather than this, it is better to take it with you more comfortably. As for whether it is a gift, it depends on you! ”

Li Ze thought for a while and nodded: "Mr. is right, but I will have more, let me pick one, it will be enough for our Royal Highness the Crown Prince to study for a lifetime." ”

The words were very arrogant, but Zhang Hui thought so.

"Jie Shuai, now Luzhou is going to move quickly." Zhang replied.

"Of course, I will give the order immediately, but if this happens, sir, you can't go back to Wuyi for the time being, and stay with me to help me deal with these things first, as soon as Luzhou starts, I will turn my attention to the battlefield and can't take care of Huguan here."

"Let Chun Yuyue and Yuan Zhou go back first." Zhang Hui nodded.

Li Ze's camp moved quickly, and Li Ze himself, who was also a light car, only brought the chapter back, Li Yu and several people entered the Huguan, as Li Ze stepped into the Huguan, the original guard that was heavily guarded and did not allow anyone to enter and leave the Huguan was relaxed, and the news in the pass was finally sent out.

Gao Lei, the envoy of the Hezhong Jiedu who stands in a triangle with Huguan and Li Ze's camp, is with Han Qi of the Hedong Jiedu at this moment, Han Qi came to visit him last night, and he didn't expect that this morning, Huguan was actually closed, even Han Qi couldn't enter. The anxious two didn't know what was going on, and it was only then that they finally got the news.

Han Qi was stunned.

Gao Lei's face turned pale.

After a long time, Gao Lei bowed his hand to Han Qi and said: "Han Shuai, all the things that Gao promised you yesterday are nullified, Li Ze, I can't afford to provoke him, I advise you not to mess with him." ”

In Gao Lei's view, of course, the queen was forced to death by Li Ze, and when the queen died, Li Ze stepped into the Huguan, which in itself has already explained a lot of problems.

Han Qi stood stunned, didn't seem to hear Gao Lei's words, just muttered, "Vertical Zi'an dares to do this!" Shaft Ann dares to do so! ”
