"Your Majesty, the messenger from Xiazhou has already come from Chang'an, and it is estimated that he will be able to arrive in Huazhou tonight, do you need it. 35xs。。。 ”

Taking advantage of the break, Li Jian came to Li Ye's side and asked for instructions.

"No, you don't! I can't make it too obvious. Li Ye shook his head, "What's going on with Xia Sui?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the people inside Xia Sui are still a little hesitant, it is estimated that Li Sigong has been accumulating power for a long time, and those who have different intentions are a little undecided." Li Jian replied.

"Such a good opportunity, I can't make up my mind, and it seems that it is a group of people who are not useful." Li Ye sneered.

"Your Majesty, but Helian Duo has made some moves, according to the news from Yunzhou, Helian Duo has gathered 40,000 cavalry, and may intend to occupy the Tiande Army in one fell swoop."

"Helendor? I didn't expect him to be impatient, but it's okay, it's a good thing to let him disrupt the situation first. Li Ye smiled, and then instructed Zhang Wei beside him, "Go and call Pei Rong over." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Wei took the order and left.

"Since Helian Duo is going to move, the forbidden army must prepare in advance, so as not to be unable to react when the time comes." Li Ye said lightly.

After a while, Pei Rong came to Li Ye with some doubts.

As Li Jian predicted, that night, the messenger from Xiazhou arrived in Huazhou and met Li Siji.

After learning that his eldest brother was dying, Li Siji was taken aback, thinking of the current situation, he hurriedly met Li Ye in the middle of the night, hoping to rush back to Xiazhou immediately to see his eldest brother for the last time.

Li Sijian met the saint late at night, which meant that the news that Li Sigong was seriously ill could not be hidden. When they learned the news, all the officials accompanying them were a little shocked, of course, they were more curious about who would take over after Li Sigong died of illness.

Li Siji? Or Li Sigong's grandson?

"Li Aiqing, the Duke of Xia is the pillar of the country, and now he is seriously ill, and I can't sit idly by. Since Xia Guogong sent a message to ask Li Aiqing to go back and see him for the last time, I definitely can't stop it.

In this way, I asked the Jinyi Guard, the Ministry of Rites, and the Imperial Physician Department to send some officials to accompany Li Aiqing, one to protect Aiqing's safety, and the other to visit Xia Guogong on behalf of me and the imperial court, and let the imperial doctors see if Guogong's illness was misdiagnosed, and we must not let the quack doctors make me and the imperial court lose a pillar of the minister. Li Ye said seriously.

Li Sijian was a little moved, and hurriedly saluted, "Brother Chendai has thanked Your Majesty for your holy grace!" ”

"Li Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, I won't treat the loyal ministers of the court badly. It's getting late today, so let's let the people who come to deliver the letter rest and rush back to Chang'an early tomorrow morning. Li Ye said with concern.

"Obey the order!" Li Sijian didn't think much about it, it was indeed a little inappropriate to rush now.

After receiving permission from the Holy Lord, Li Sijian retired.

And after Li Sijian left, Li Ye instructed Pei Rong and Li Sizhou, "Immediately give an order to let the state soldiers of Guannei Dao, Hedong Dao, and Lingwu begin to assemble, especially the cavalry." 35xs

Secondly, give orders to the Zuo Shenwei Army and the Zuo Shenwu Army, starting from receiving the holy decree, enter the combat state, and ensure that Xia Sui can intervene in time when unexpected changes occur. ”

"Commandment!"

Pei Rong and Li Sizhou received the order!

。。。。。。

"Big brother, are you okay?"

Although the distance between Fengzhou and Chang'an and Xiazhou is not much different, Li Sijing rushed back one step at a time.

Especially realizing that the current situation in Xia Sui was not right, he also brought back five thousand elite cavalry, which was the strongest cavalry in his hands.

"It's okay for my brother!" Li Sigong coughed and stood up, but before he took two steps, the whole person began to cough violently.

Li Sijing hurriedly helped the other party, but found that his eldest brother coughed up not phlegm, but blood.

"Big brother, you are... Li Sijing said worriedly.

"It's nothing, but fortunately you came back in time." Li Sigong shook his head and motioned to the other party not to worry.

"Big brother, is it true what you said in your letter? Isn't your body good? How could this suddenly happen? ”

"I know best what my brother's body is. As long as you go back ... Come back, for... I'm relieved to be a brother! Li Sigong said weakly.

"Big brother, don't worry, as long as you give an order, I will take five thousand cavalry to level the mansions of those who are not subservient. Tell them that this Xia Sui is the final say of our party's Xiang Ping Xia Department!

Isn't it from Higashiyamabu? I knew that the group of mongrels in the Higashiyama Department liked to drag their feet, so they simply took the opportunity to destroy the Higashiyama in one fell swoop. Li Sijing said ruthlessly.

"Don't come nonsense!" Li Sigong hurriedly stopped.

"Big brother, at this time, what do you care about these people?" Li Sijing looked puzzled.

"What I'm worried about my brother is not the Dongshan Ministry, nor the assassination history of the states under Xia Sui, but the imperial court." Li Sigong sighed and said.

"The Imperial Court?" Li Sijing was stunned for a moment, thinking of what he had seen and heard before, he suddenly became silent, hesitated and said a little unconfidently, "No, we are loyal to the imperial court, and it is impossible for the imperial court to cross the river and tear down the bridge." ”

Li Sigong shook his head, "You don't have the confidence to say what you say, it can be seen that you also know the situation in the imperial court." Today's Shengshang is not a simple man, and it can be seen from his tactics towards the Uighurs and Shatuo that he will not tolerate our party being too close to Chang'an, especially since Xia Sui is too close to Chang'an.

Zuo Shenwei's army was stationed in Yanzhou, but it was not just to guard against our party.

The group of villains in the Dongshan Department are just clowns jumping off the beam, and only this court is the biggest enemy of the party's rise. ”

"Big brother, do we have to go up against the imperial court?" Li Sijing was a little hesitant.

Regarding the strength of the imperial court, Li Sijing knows better than Li Sigong. Because whether it was the attack on Weibo, or Chengde, or the operation to pacify the Uighurs, the Six Valleys, etc., the strength of the forbidden army had been deeply imprinted in his mind.

Moreover, the Han generals below them may not be willing to oppose the imperial court, if they really want to go against them, they can only suffer.

"Now it's not that we want to confront the imperial court, but that the imperial court wants to take the opportunity to annex Xia Sui and cut off the hope of our party's rise." Li Sigong was a little excited.

"Ahem, ahem... Ahem, ahem... ”

"Big brother, don't get excited." Seeing Li Sigong coughing suddenly, Li Sijing was scared, "Big brother, what are you going to do?" What if the imperial court really made a move? And this Xia Sui, who are you going to hand over to take care of? ”

Under the appeasement of Li Sijing and others, Li Sigong's mood calmed down a little, and he gasped and said, "Chang'er is still young and unable to take charge of Xia Sui. For the sake of the future of the party, Brother Wei plans to let the second child take over Xia Sui, and you will continue to be in charge of Tiande.

When the time comes, you two brothers will join forces, and you may not be able to strengthen our party.

Brother Wei has already sent someone to Chang'an to let the second brother come back, and you need to help Brother Wei stabilize Xia Sui's situation during this time, and don't let the court have a chance to meddle in Xia Sui's affairs.

As for Chang'er, I hope you can take good care of it! ”
