Looking at Li Jiancheng's hopeful gaze, Wei Zheng's heart shook for a while, once upon a time, the high-spirited crown prince ended up in such a helpless state, Wei Zheng sighed and said: "Your Majesty, now the ministers in the court and the central government are not credible, they are all for their own interests, they must be unwilling to lead troops for Your Majesty to fight against Li Shimin, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were not involved in the dispute between the princes, only Li Jing and General Li Ji, can lead troops for Your Majesty, Your Majesty can call the two as a master, a deputy and two marshals, and lead troops to aid Tongguan, to relieve the Tongguan crisis! In fact, Wei Zheng has another best candidate in his heart, that is Li Haochen, but at this moment, Wei Zheng didn't dare to mention it, for fear of angering Li Jiancheng, so he could only sigh secretly in his heart.

After Li Jiancheng listened to Wei Zheng's words, there was a hint of joy on his melancholy face, and he hurriedly ordered the waiter waiting beside him: "Hurry, hurry, hurry up and go to Xuan's two Qing families to come to see me!" ”

The waiter took the order and hurried away, and after a while, the waiter took the two to see Li Jiancheng, and after the two saluted Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng hurriedly said: "Two Aiqing, please hurry up!" After Li Jiancheng saw the two of them get up, he said: "The two Qing families should also know that this traitor Li Shimin led 150,000 soldiers to Tongguan, and the battle in Tongguan was urgent, and it was in danger, if Tongguan was forced, Chang'an would be in danger!" I want to take the two Aiqing as the commanders and lead the troops to Tongguan to defend against the enemy! I don't know what the two lovers think? ”

Li Jing's face turned pale when he heard this, and he coughed violently a few times: "It is a matter of duty to share worries for the ministers and the king, but the old minister has occasionally felt the wind and cold in recent days, and I am afraid that he will not be able to share his worries for His Majesty, and I also ask Your Majesty to choose another merit as the commander, so as not to cause the war to be unfavorable due to the old minister's health!" After finishing speaking, Li Jing coughed violently again.

As soon as Li Jing entered the main hall, Li Jiancheng found that he was not in good health, but he was really unavailable for the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, so he also said what he just said. This is what Li Jiancheng didn't want to see, he sighed and said: "Old general, if you don't get sick sooner or later, you are sick at this time, this is really going to kill me!" Saying that, Li Jiancheng looked at Li Ji in the prime of life and said, "General Li Ji, your body should be fine, right?" Then please ask General Li Ji to lead the troops to the battle and break the enemy army before Tongguan, okay? ”

Li Ji hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty Xie trusts, the minister is still in good health, and it is no problem to lead the troops to the battle!" ”

Li Jiancheng laughed when he heard this, said hello, and then continued: "Qing Zhen is my God-given minister!" I am in Chang'an, I will set up a celebration wine for you, waiting for your triumphant return! You and I will drink together when the time comes! ”

After Li Jiancheng finished speaking, he saw that Li Ji's face was not happy, but his face was full of sadness, and he said with some puzzlement: "Why is Aiqing so sad?" You can rest assured that I will give you 200,000 troops, so that you have enough troops to defeat Li Shimin! Li Jiancheng thought that Li Ji was worried because he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat Li Shimin because of the lack of troops, so he hurriedly reassured Li Ji.

Hearing Li Jiancheng say this, Li Ji no longer concealed it, so he expressed his worries in his heart: "Your Majesty, you don't know, the minister is not Li Shimin's opponent, not because of the troops, but because of the lack of tactics and strategies!" If Mr. is the commander, it is only a matter of time before the ministers are supplemented to break Li Shimin, and now Mr. is not in good health, let the minister lead an army alone, I am afraid that it is really not Li Shimin's opponent, but Your Majesty can rest assured, the minister must act cautiously, and strive to drag Li Shimin's army in Tongguan and not let him have the opportunity to invade Chang'an! ”

In the early years, Li Jing had instructed Li Ji in the army to strategize the art of war, although the two had no master-apprentice status, but Li Ji had always treated Li Jing with the courtesy of master and apprentice, so he became Mr. Li Jing.

Li Jiancheng listened to Li Ji's words, his heart was gloomy and sad, two lines of tears flowed from his eyes, and he sighed: "Is this fate?" That's it! That's it! Tomorrow, I will send an envoy to negotiate peace with Li Shimin, and I agree to cede this throne to him, hoping that he can treat the people of the Tang Dynasty well! I don't want anything more! ”

"Your Majesty, by all means!" Wei Zheng, Li Jing, and Li Ji all knelt on the ground and said in unison.

"Your Majesty is the lord of all vehicles, ordered by the heavens, inherited from the emperor, is the orthodoxy of the world, how can you be arrogant and give up the great Zen to the small people! Your Majesty will trap all the people of the world in this way! Although Your Majesty is forced to be helpless because of the situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the criticism of the historian and become a mediocre lord like that Shang and Xia Wei! I hope Your Majesty will think twice! Wei Zheng kowtowed like pounding garlic, and persuaded with tears in his eyes. Wei Zheng was originally a minister of direct advice, and at this moment, seeing that Li Jiancheng was going to make such a mediocre move, he didn't care about any courtesy of the monarch and minister, and his words were fierce, which moved Li Jiancheng and almost couldn't control his anger directly.

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, Li Ji also hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be pessimistic, although the minister is not Li Shimin's opponent, but the minister is confident that he can defend Tongguan for His Majesty, please rest assured, your Majesty doesn't have to be so pessimistic, everything has not yet reached the end of the mountain, please don't give up first!" The minister will swear to protect Tongguan unharmed! Keep Chang'an intact! Your Majesty peace of mind! Although Li Ji's words were to persuade Li Jiancheng not to give up, after Li Jiancheng heard it, he became even more angry in his heart, and he only defended and did not attack.

Li Jiancheng thought like this, and couldn't help but snort coldly and said: "You let me shrink in Chang'an, waiting for Li Shimin to attack again and again, what are you to be me, are you a turtle?" ”

"Your Majesty is angry, and the ministers are guilty! Ministers are incompetent! Seeing that Li Jiancheng was furious, the three of them once again confessed their mistakes to Li Jiancheng in unison.

Li Jiancheng couldn't help but think of Li Haochen when he saw the three of them like this, if Li Haochen was here at the moment, he would definitely give him advice to solve the crisis, but where is Li Haochen now? Thinking like this, Li Jiancheng felt even more sad in his heart, and his body collapsed on the chair weakly, looking depressed.

Seeing this, Li Jing knew that the time was ripe, so he said: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes: 'The Lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the Lord is humiliated by the deaths of the ministers!'" Although the old minister is unable to bring illness for His Majesty anymore, the old minister is willing to guarantee one person with the head of the whole family of 129 people, and can retreat Li Shimin's army. ”
