Chapter 427: Fatal Negligence
Along the way, Li Deyu always closed his eyes and did not say a word, until he passed the Tong Pass, and slowly opened his eyes.
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Presumably, Your Majesty will be able to appreciate your loyalty to the Tang Dynasty this time, and after this matter, I will ask Your Majesty to ......."
Before Li Zhen's words were finished, he saw Li Deyu waving his hand gently, and there seemed to be more melancholy in his eyes.
"You are young and smart, don't say such foolish words in the future!"
After hearing this, Li Zhen lowered his head gloomily, this was a word of comfort to Li Deyu.
I don't know that no matter how great Li Deyu's credit is, it is impossible for Aya to use it again, and being able to stay in the Eastern Capital without being driven to Yazhou is the biggest concession Aya can make.
The reason why Emperor Wuzong trusted Li Deyu was because he needed a capable assistant to make it a little easier for him.
Aya, on the other hand, did not allow himself to have the slightest leisure, he was able to remember the names of all the people he had met, and even the eunuchs and maids in charge of the palace who were in charge of miscellaneous servants, so that he could call them by their first names when needed, instead of the hundreds of years of "Come!" β
The person he imitated was Emperor Taizongwen, so he could only restrain himself with stricter conditions than Emperor Taizongwen, so for him, no matter how big or small, everything must be done in person, which is only the most basic requirement.
Therefore, such a son of heaven will never allow a strong minister like Li Deyu to appear in his court.
In the final analysis, this is not a question of trust or not at all, but a question of whether the strong monarch and the powerful minister can coexist.
Obviously, Aya needed to take control of the court herself, not her courtiers.
Li Deyu understands this truth, and Li Zhen also understands, but the truth is too cruel and no one wants to face it.
"There's another question you don't seem to have asked all along!" Li Zhen had no choice but to divert from this sad topic.
Li Deyu smiled and said, "Hehe, King Yan and King Qi are just losers in this game, no matter which side they stand on, the result is the same, so no matter who you choose, there is no difference!" β
Li Zhen nodded and said, "Actually, I just hope to delay it for a few more days, and when the reinforcements arrive, Qiu Shiliang will inevitably scatter his troops everywhere, and then we will have the opportunity to go to Lishan to rescue His Majesty and Uncle Xiao!" As long as His Majesty returns to Beijing, this crisis will be over! β
Li Deyu immediately looked at Li Zhen, and then looked at the silt on both sides of the official road after the snow melted, and said slowly: "The snow in the gate is not small, and I think this year's harvest must be very good!" β
Then, Li Deyu leaned back, re-covered the brocade jacket on his body, and sighed lightly: "If it weren't for Your Majesty's careful arrangements this time, I'm afraid you would become a sinner in the Tang Dynasty!" β
Li Zhen smiled bitterly: "It's true that the younger generation is thinking too simply, I didn't expect Qiu Shiliang to hide so deeply!" β
Li Deyu then said: "But with Your Majesty's temperament, sooner or later he will make a move on Qiu Shiliang, just because of your appearance, he had to advance the plan, but then again, without your calculations, Your Majesty would never have pushed Qiu Shiliang to death so easily!" β
"Light...... Pine...... Don't you think that's easy? Li Zhen pursed his lips, with a wry smile with some embarrassment.
"How?" Li Deyu glanced at Li Zhen and said, "If the old man had estimated before, it would have been impossible to do this matter without six or seven years of effort!" β
After hearing this, Li Zhen was suddenly relieved, and said with a smile: "Today's Qiu Shiliang has Shuofang and Fengxiang troops in the west, Heshuo coalition army in the east, and several defense envoys in the east and Jinshang defense envoys in the south, although he has 100,000 forbidden troops, but to disperse his forces to deal with so many large armies, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue!" β
"Hmph......" Li Deyu snorted coldly and said, "If you think so, then you are too underestimate Qiu Shiliang!" β
"Oh?" Li Zhen was a little surprised, in his opinion, in such a situation, even if there was no large-scale battle at all, it would end in the defeat of Qiu Shiliang.
"You only think of the most likely outcome, but you don't think that there is another outcome of things!" Li Deyu said softly.
After hearing this, Li Zhen's face changed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Qiu Shiliang does not divide his troops, but concentrates his troops to defend the capital and support King Yan to ascend the throne!" β
Li Deyu nodded and said: "Yes, as soon as King Yan ascends the throne, these Qin Wang's army will instantly become rebels, and Qiu Shiliang has every reason to recruit other feudal towns into Beijing to quell the rebellion!" β
"But ......" Li Zhen's mood instantly fell to the bottom, but he still said a little unwillingly: "But will the other feudal towns definitely obey the requisition?" β
"You're naΓ―ve!"
Li Deyu shook his head and sighed lightly, "As long as the territory of these rebels is arbitrarily divided into a few states as a reward, there is no suspense in transferring the troops of ten towns!" β
"But Your Majesty is still alive! It's in Lishan! All we have to do is save Your Majesty ......"
Li Zhenming knew that this was futile, but he was still arguing.
Without waiting for Li Zhen to finish speaking, Li Deyu preemptively said: "Your Majesty?!" Hmph, at that time, Your Majesty will only have the capital one! To put it mildly, in the face of absolute interests, who cares about a majesty who does not have a single soldier?! β
After hearing this, cold sweat instantly slipped down Li Zhen's forehead, his body was even more wet, and his heart was beating violently in his chest.
Li Deyu is right, under the huge pressure of the disparity in strength, this has almost become Qiu Shiliang's inevitable choice, and once this happens, his advantage will completely become a disadvantage, and he and everyone will be put in an almost mortal situation.
"This ......" Li Zhen became a little incoherent, obviously carried away by the victory at his fingertips, and had overlooked such a vital possibility.
"What? Scared? β
Only Li Deyu is still as calm as ever.
Li Zhen didn't speak, because he was still immersed in great danger and couldn't extricate himself, and his mind was rapidly rushing through one response after another, and finally vetoed one after another.
"Alas!" Li Deyu sighed, "You are still too tender after all, Qiu Shiliang has been able to live until now, and he has taken the position of lieutenant of the Shence Army again, do you think it is just a coincidence?" β
Although he was unwilling, Li Zhen finally admitted the fatal mistake he had made, he was familiar with everything about the Tang Dynasty, but only when he was really in it, he knew how ignorant he was.
He seemed to have forgotten one thing.
People are never static, and history is never static.
In front of these ancients who have been immersed in officialdom for decades and have already seen through people's hearts, once they are a little careless, they are still waiting for themselves.
Seeing that Li Zhen was in a trance and silent, Li Deyu reached out and patted Li Zhen's shoulder gently, and said quietly: "Do you remember a person?" β
