In the typhoon shelter of the desert oasis, the carnival was still going on, and Tong'e and a group of Turkic nobles were also completely let go, they woke up and drank, drunk and slept, repeated several times, where can they still distinguish day and night, east and west, north and south.

There were originally vigilant Turkic scouts on the periphery of the typhoon shelter, but as the carnival progressed, these scouts also drank dizziness, plus there was a sandstorm outside, and the visibility was only a hundred steps. Where do you remember your mission? Even if someone came out to guard in order to deal with Shangguan, they were only standing on the edge of the oasis, and they didn't want to go deep into the sandstorm at all, let alone talk about any vigilance.

Tong'e drunkenly counted the days, judging from his years of experience, the Tang army had run out of food, and when the sandstorm stopped, he led all the Turks to kill them. Seeing that everyone was drunk, he decided to end the party and no one was allowed to drink again.

In fact, there is no need for Tong'e to order, and the Turks will not drink anymore, because this group of wine bags and rice bags have drunk all the wine for three days in a row......

The revelry finally came to an end, and the snoring in the typhoon shelter was everywhere, and the thunderous snoring even drowned out the whistling of the wind and sand.

Looking at the group of drunks sleeping soundly in the tent, there are also Turkic nobles who have not drunk a drop of wine and are still sober, and said to Tong'e worriedly: "Great Khan, these guys are drunk like this, I'm afraid that the day after tomorrow, the combat strength will not be able to recover!" ”

Although Tong'e is also good at the things in the cup, he has always remained sober, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "We are not in a hurry, why wait for a day or two?" Let those Tang Jun starve, and these guys also woke up. When the time comes, it's time to kill it out and see if there's anything cheap to pick ......up."

The Turkic nobleman suddenly said with a teachable compliment: "Sure enough, everything is in the hands of the Great Khan!" ”

"That's nature!" Tong'e was very comfortable when she was photographed, and laughed and said: "The old man is a character that Changsheng Tian is optimistic about!" ”

……

In Chang'an City, Xue Yantuo went south, Dingxiang was besieged, and the news that the prince was trapped has been spreading.

And at such a time of crisis, they learned that Li Mu first resisted the decree and did not hand over the right to the army, and then did not return to the aid after learning the news, but chose to continue to pursue Tong'e, the ministers were angry, and the six hundred officials wrote to criticize Li Mu for getting carried away with the victory by luck, and disobeying the holy decree and going deep alone, which was to bring the army to a dead end, ignore the prince and the country, and sell his reputation and reputation! Those officials continued to impeach the above, asking the regent to govern Li Mu for the crime of disobeying the decree!

Empress Eldest Sun looked at the boxes of folds that were carried in, and only felt that her head was about to crack. She already had a brain disease, and she committed it immediately, and she had to faint once or twice a day.

As for the people of Chang'an City, their emotions are much more complicated, and many people are affected by the current public opinion and begin to scold Li Mu for being rebellious and disobedient, destined to become sinners in the Tang Dynasty! There are also many people who think that Hou Ye didn't know that Xue Yantuo would go south, he chose to completely annihilate the Turks and Yongding the Western Regions, he can withstand the pressure of the imperial court, give up his personal honor and disgrace, and lead the soldiers to pursue for thousands of miles, he is a great hero and a hero!

There are also lovers of conspiracy theories, who spread that there are some people in the DPRK who can't see Li Mu making great contributions, so they urgently summon him back to Beijing under the pretense of a holy decree. But this statement was also refuted by another group of conspiracy theorists, who said that Li Mu made an agreement with Xue Yantuo and passed the news to them, which led to today's situation.

In the Lizheng Palace, Empress Changsun has been sick for a few days, and her body is very weak. But when I heard that there was an urgent military situation, I reluctantly got up and announced to the important ministers who stayed behind.

Fang Xuanling, Li Daliang, and Wei Zheng entered the hall, and Empress Eldest Sun glanced at them and said, "What do you have to report?" ”

"The queen should be mentally prepared," Fang Xuanling took a deep breath and said, "Now that Dingxiang has not heard from him for six days, it is likely that it has been ...... Now there are only 10,000 defenders in Chang'an City, and although the city walls are tall, they ......"

"You mean, Xue Yantuo is coming to Chang'an?" Empress Changsun sat up in shock, her face was like a blank piece of paper, sparing her as a heroine among women, but in the face of the collapse of the country and the death of the family, she still couldn't help but panic, and said: "Now that Your Majesty is not in the court, the prince is trapped in Dingxiang, and even the King of Wei is ......" She couldn't help but glance at Fang Xuanling complainingly, if it wasn't for Fang Xuanling, how could Li Tai 'run away from home'?

Now in Chang'an City, there is not even a person to inherit the throne...... Empress Changsun glanced at Li Zhi in her infancy, and said in her heart, could it be that the country of the Tang Dynasty will perish in the hands of our mothers?

Up to now, Fang Xuanling is also ashamed, although he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with his approach, but after all, the matter is in a hurry, and at this point, he can't escape the blame.

In fact, he didn't realize it himself, and this was an inevitable result. In the past, 'Fang plotted to make a decision', and all major matters were decided by Du Ruhui. is because Fang Xuanling has no backbone. This time, when Li Shimin was leaving, he transferred Li Mu back to be the secretary of the book, just to let Li Mu be 'Du Ruhui' and make decisions for national affairs. Who would have thought that at this time, the Western Turks attacked, Li Mu had to lead the army to the expedition, and there was no decisive person in the court, so Fang Xuanling made several mistakes in judgment one after another.

As for Wei Zheng, he can help people's mistakes, but he is not a person who can break them. And it involves Li Mu, Li Mu is his son-in-law, he is already suspected of being biased, and he has no confidence to speak.

"This palace is a woman, and when the country is in danger, I really can't afford this responsibility......" Empress Changsun thought for a long time and said: "At this moment, when the emperor returns to the dynasty, he is in charge......"

As soon as Empress Eldest Sun's words came out, Fang Xuanling changed color in shock, and categorically interrupted: "No!" ”

What are you kidding, the rebellion of Tiance Mansion led to today's Zhenguan Dynasty, and now it has to be returned, isn't it restoration? Others don't know, but Fang Xuanling is very clear, the changes in Xuanwumen back then, Li Shimin's family actually did not have an absolute advantage. After all, this world was fought by Li Yuan, he is the monarch who founded the country, if you talk about the people's aspirations, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin can't compare to him. If Li Yuan is determined to punish Li Shimin, he only needs to order King Qin, and Li Shimin will definitely be defeated. Even if he killed Li Yuan, his emperor would not be able to do it.

And Li Yuan finally decided to pass on the throne, because he had three capable sons, and two of them had already died, so he had to pass on. The events of that year were not far away, the people loyal to Li Yuan were not dead, Li Shimin went on this expedition and took away all the team of the Qin Wangfu back then, if Li Yuan was restored at this time, whether Li Shimin, who was far away in Liaodong, could come back is two words.

Li Daliang is an honest man, and he has never been involved in such sensitive topics. Wei Zheng has already gained insight into Fang Xuanling's thoughts, he is not Li Shimin's descendant, after Li Jiancheng died, he was still an official, mainly to find fault and do something for the people.

At this moment, welcoming back Li Yuan is indeed the best choice. Relying on Li Yuan's old face, he will definitely be able to mobilize, and after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he dismissed the tens of thousands of veterans of the martial arts period who returned to their hometowns. With these veterans here, relying on the solidity of Chang'an City, it must be no problem to hold on.

For the sake of the millions of people in Chang'an City, of course Wei Zheng had to speak, he vented his resentment during this period of time, because Fang Xuanling framed Li Mu and vented his resentment, where Fang Xuanling was his opponent, he was so scared that he couldn't say a word, just said in a trembling voice: "No, no, anyway, it's not good......

Empress Changsun watched the two of them quarrel, her breath became more and more scattered, and on her pale face, an abnormal blood color suddenly rose, and she screamed miserably, and fainted straight back.

There was chaos in the Lizheng Palace, people turned on their backs, and they called the imperial doctor and the palace maid, and after a while, they finally woke up the people.

"Queen!" Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling have always respected the eldest grandson queen, and when they saw that because of their quarrel, the queen fainted, and they blamed themselves. The two knelt on the ground and said, "The ministers are guilty, please ask the queen to punish the crime." ”

"Both of them are the pillars of the country, each expressing his own opinion, what is the crime." Empress Eldest Sun's breath was already extremely weak, she calmed down, looked at Fang Xuanling, and said, "The matter that Fang Xiang is worried about, this palace knows it in his heart, and he has thought it through. But now that the situation is critical, do you have to ignore the safety of millions of people in Chang'an City because of this concern? I believe that even if Jiro was here, he would make the same choice. ”

Fang Xuanling saw that Empress Changsun called Li Shimin Erlang, and his heart moved slightly, when Li Shimin was not the king of Qin, he was also called like this when he was with his comrades. Empress Changsun was still very young at the time, and it was also hard to take the women and children to cook for the soldiers.

The past was vivid, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but have a sour nose, and shed tears: "I'm sorry Your Majesty, I'm sorry Your Majesty......"

Empress Changsun looked at Wei Zheng and said, "I'm tired of Duke Wei, go and invite the Emperor Taishang to come to the court." She coughed and said, "I should go to this palace, but it's ......."

Wei Zheng hurriedly said: "The queen is recuperating in peace, and the minister will go and invite." ”

Fang Xuanling wanted to say something more, but Empress Eldest Sun had already closed her eyes, and seeing that people were already like this, she could only hold anything in her heart.

……

In the Xiaoyao Valley, the green shade and the moonlit lotus pond seem to be disturbed by the outside world, and they cannot be transmitted to this closed and quiet world.

Li Yuan squatted in a flower shed, which was a new type of peony he had cultivated, with all white petals and no variegation. He admired it for a while, and then came to the back of the table and splashed ink, trying to record the beauty of the flower.

Xiao Chen's father-in-law, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but applaud: "The Emperor Taishang's Danqing is chasing after the national hand!" The crane I drew yesterday was like wanting to fly to the sky. Today, this peony looks like it is alive, and when the painting is finished, there will definitely be bees to collect honey! ”

Li Yuan glanced at him and said, "Lao Tzu hasn't painted yet, you know?" You bastard, after leaving Lao Tzu's side and becoming the governor of Dongchang, you have become more and more hypocritical, obviously you are watching Lao Tzu, saying these flattering words all day long, disgusting or disgusting! ”

Xiao Chen's father-in-law was used to being scolded, and he was not angry, and said: "Where is the emperor, the slaves and maids are ordered to serve." ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw a little eunuch rushing in with a gust of wind and shouting, "Governor! Oh no, Wei Zheng is here! ”

Let the little eunuch scream, Li Yuan's hand shook coldly, and a drop of ink dripped on the drawing paper, and he couldn't help frowning slightly. Xiao Chen's father-in-law blackened his face and scolded: "Little beast, do you still have some rules, see if our family doesn't pick your skin!" What can Wei Zheng do when he comes? What are you afraid of what he will do? ”

said that he confessed to Li Yuan, and was going out to see Wei Zheng. But Wei Zheng had already rushed in, and bumped into him head-on, Xiao Chen's father-in-law was just about to speak, Wei Zheng slapped him with a big mouth, Xiao Chen's father-in-law's kung fu was not weak, but he didn't expect Wei Zheng to make a move, and he was beaten all of a sudden.

Wei Zheng knelt on the ground, presented the 'Destiny Treasure' with both hands, and said: "Emperor Taishang, Dingxiang is surrounded, Xue Yantuo is about to go south in the near future, there is no one in charge of the court, and Chang'an City is in danger. The queen was overwhelmed and fainted several times a day, which was really unsustainable. The special ministers serve the great treasure and respectfully invite the emperor to come to the court. ”

"What?!" When Xiao Chen's father-in-law heard this, his legs and stomach turned tendons, and his eyes widened and he screamed: "You're not talking nonsense, are you?!" How is this possible? ”

"The dragon is outside, you won't see it yourself?"

Xiao Chen's father-in-law hurriedly ran outside, and sure enough, he saw Long Xuan. This can't be faked, even if Wei Zheng does something, he can't make a dragon fight! He secretly said in his heart, during this time, he was not less scolded, if the emperor came to the court, I was afraid that the head of his three-surnamed slave would have to move.

Li Yuan was unmoved, and still maintained the posture of lifting the pen. After pondering for a moment, he looked at Wei Zheng and said: "The great position has changed, that is, the mandate of heaven has changed, and I, the emperor, will come to the dynasty again...... Not suitable, not suitable! ”

"This," Wei Zheng was stunned and said urgently: "The situation is critical, Emperor Taishang!" ”

"How can there be so many whys," Li Yuan is idle every day, he has long been accustomed to this kind of life, and he doesn't want to break this life. He frowned slightly and said, "Just say I'm sick and can't get out of bed, just reply!" ”

"Do you want me to say it a second time?" Li Yuan snorted coldly, Wei Zheng opened his mouth, and it took a long time before he said, "Emperor Taishang, now is not the time to be angry!" ”

Wei Zheng told the situation outside again, how critical, how urgent, what was the situation of Li Mu, Li Chengqian, and Li Tai, and after finishing the book, he said that his mouth was dry, but Li Yuan was still unmoved: "Which eye of yours saw me angry?" If you don't go, you don't go, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, what do you care about me as an old man? After saying that, Li Yuan ignored Chen Wu and focused all his attention on the painting, wanting to see if there was a way to remedy the ink spot.

Wei Zheng was really smoking, and seeing Li Yuan's resolute attitude, he had no choice but to turn back to the palace to resume his life.
