"I write letters to children, but in the eyes of others, I am writing letters to the queen, so I can't write them." Tang Yuan sighed and said, "Forget it, even if this kid doesn't have me in his heart, I don't care." ”

Tang Yuan's words were sad, and Miss You stopped talking.

At this time, there was the sound of Zhang Ga's footsteps outside, and this man seemed to be hesitating about something.

"Is Zhang Ga outside?"

"Can the general hear this?" Zhang Ga probes his brain.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Zhang Ga grinned: "The imperial court issued a military order to remove Zhang Yunlong from the position of marshal." ”

"Oh, go on."

"It's gone."

"Gone?" Tang Yuan was puzzled: "Could it be that Zhang Zhikui is temporarily taken over as the second deputy marshal?" ”

"Not at all." Zhang Ga also looked puzzled.

"Huh?" Tang Yuan stood up and muttered, "What kind of medicine is sold in Empress Dowager Cao's gourd?" ”

Just when Tang Yuan was in thought, Zhang Zhikui, the deputy commander of the commandery, ordered Tang Yuan to withdraw his troops for a hundred miles and camp near Guozhou City. Tang Yuan asked the herald why he wanted to withdraw the army, but the herald did not know.

Tang Yuan came to a high place, looked in the direction of the enemy camp, couldn't see the clue, and asked Feng Feima to investigate, and the result of the investigation was that the enemy army was also withdrawing. At this time, Tang Yuan understood that it was the two envoys who reached an agreement to withdraw their troops together. And these news, when they reached him, only military orders remained.

Since this is the case, Tang Yuan didn't say much, and the army was pulled out.

But at this time, he received a secret order from Tang Qi not to come back for the time being.

Tang Qi's letter was very short, the content was wide, and she couldn't understand what she was going to do for a while, and the person who sent the letter didn't know anything, he really didn't know, not pretending.

Nalan said: "I guess Tang Qi means not to let us go back to Jingzhou. ”

"I thought we wouldn't be allowed to go back to Guozhou," Tang Yuan thought for a moment, "It seems that this is just a coincidence." ”

The troops walked back less than ten miles, and Tang Yuan suddenly changed his mind and said, "Go back." ”

"What for?" Nalan Xin was puzzled.

"Fighting." Tang Yuan said decisively: "Take advantage of the enemy's withdrawal and chase for fifty miles." ”

"Why?"

"The Empress doesn't want the war to end."

"How do you judge?"

Tang Yuan smiled evilly: "With my understanding of Tang Qi. ”

Tang Hu was the vanguard and led the cavalry brigade to gallop away, Chen Bao's Chinese army followed, and Tang Yuan left his baggage and light equipment to follow up.

The enemy never expected that the Liang army would rebel, Tang Hu rushed over, led his troops to rush left and right, and captured Guan Jinghong alive.

Guan Jingcheng led his troops back to save his brother, but was forced to retreat by Chen Bao.

After reaping the benefits, Tang Yuan withdrew his troops again and returned to the Guozhou camp.

Zhang Zhikui's face was puzzled, he came to find Tang Yuan, and when he entered the house, he asked: "Tang Yuan, what are you doing, why did the enemy envoy come before you arrived?" But I sued you, and I heard that you captured Guan Xiong's three Taibao, is this true? ”

"It's true."

Zhang Zhikui's face was blank, and he suddenly couldn't get out of his stomach for some reason, he looked at Tang Yuan suspiciously, and asked, "Why do you want to do this?" ”

"Because I have a personal vendetta with the third wife." Tang Yuan's face was expressionless.

Zhang Zhikui shook his head and said, "This is not a reason. ”

Tang Yuan said: "But that's the only reason I have." ”

"Tang Yuan, don't be arrogant, where does this matter stab the Queen Mother, do you know what the result will be?"

"No matter what the result is, I will bear it, you just have to report it truthfully, I don't blame you."

Zhang Zhikui nodded and said, "Okay, in that case, I can't save you." Where is the Santaibao now, I want to take it away. ”

"Okay, hand over the body of the Third Taibao to Zhang Shuai and let him take it away."

"What?! You killed the three Taibao? ”

"If you have revenge, you don't take revenge, it's not a gentleman!"

"You don't have to come with me." Zhang Zhikui glared at Tang Yuan: "What is the reason for you to disobey the military order, I want a real reason." ”

"I have a personal vendetta against him."

Zhang Zhikui didn't say anything and sat quietly for a while.

Tang Yuan said: "Don't think about taking my military power, you can't take it away." Unless we have a fight. ”

"You're trying to rebel."

"On the contrary, I will never rebel voluntarily."

Zhang Zhikui shook his head and said, "I don't understand, everyone supports the emperor, but now, what does the emperor have?" It seems that there is no army except you. Now that you have suddenly made it clear that you are working against the Queen Mother, didn't you push the emperor into the fire pit? ”

"Actually, I don't understand, but...... Anyway, I did. Tang Yuan couldn't understand why Tang Qi asked him to do this, but since Tang Qi let him disobey, it was clear that she was ready.

——

Luoyang, midnight, pouring rain.

Lightning and thunder roared, bean-sized raindrops beat the earth unscrupulously, the mist was hazy, and the air smelled of moisture.

Tang Qi changed into a guard suit with a knife and left the palace late at night to see the old prime minister Tang Zhen.

Tang Zhen was already in his last years, fell weakly on the bed, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone in the room to retreat.

The old man's voice sounded: "How did you get out?" ”

"I let Hu Orchid sleep in my room." Tang Qi was wet.

Tang Zhen's voice was low and depressed, "In the palace, there are eyeliners all over the place, and you will definitely be exposed." ”

Tang Qi stood in front of Tang Zhen, lowered his head slightly, stared at Tang Zhen's eyes and said, "They must not have thought that I swam out of the water." ”

"And how do you get back?"

"Tomorrow, the emperor will come out of the palace to pick me up."

Tang Zhen, who was old, sat up, "You are too bold." You still have to do what I gave up. ”

"My father-in-law is just old, if you were ten years younger, you wouldn't give up."

"It's a pity that I can't be ten years younger, Tang Su and Tang Xiao can't give me a 'life'."

The so-called continuation of life is not to renew Tang Zhen's life, but to renew the life of the Tang family, Tang Zhen is very disappointed in his two sons, the fifth son Tang Su wholeheartedly supports the emperor, and the seventh son Tang Xiao is brave and unscrupulous, and he is blind to that handsome good skin, and the experience of serving as a marshal twice has exposed Tang Xiao's shortcomings, which made Tang Zhen very disappointed, Tang Zhen has prepared for the worst, and at the same time lost the confidence to continue fighting with the Empress Dowager Cao. But at this time, Tang Qi suddenly appeared again.

"Your father Qi Dongyang has already betrayed the Tang family, although you later changed your surname to Tang, but now you are also a person in the palace, do you think I will still trust you?" Tang Zhen said with a solemn expression: "Tell me your plan first." ”

Tang Qi frowned, and before he could speak, Tang Zhen said again: "First of all, I want to know who else is your person besides Tang Yuan." It's important not to hide anything from me, and that's one of the things I can do to help you. ”

"It's Cao Sheng."

"Cao Sheng?"
