"Congratulations?" After hearing this, Li Zhen hurriedly looked around. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What are you looking for?" Princess Yanqing asked in surprise.

"Congratulatory gifts?! Where's the gift? Your Highness shouldn't come to congratulate empty-handed! Li Zhen was surprised.

Seeing this, Princess Yanqing immediately laughed and trembled, and said: "Hehe, you are obviously an eight-sided exquisite heart, but you can say such shameless words, I really don't know what you think in your head all day long!" ”

"Okay, this palace is here to congratulate you, and to remind you of one thing!" Princess Yanqing said.

"Your Highness won't want to harm me again!" Li Zhen frowned and said.

"This palace harms you? You touch your conscience and think about it, since you hit the main palace and met you, which time has you not been calculating the main palace everywhere? Now you dare to bite back and say that this palace hurts you?! Princess Yanqing said angrily.

Li Zhen grinned when he heard this, and said, "Then I don't know what His Highness came to remind me of?" ”

Princess Yanqing thought for a while, and then said with a solemn face: "The people of the Eastern Capital are not so simple, and your errand as the deputy envoy of Henan Province is not easy to do!" ”

After hearing this, Li Zhen and Liu Yu glanced at each other, and the previous smile on their faces was also put away, and they became extremely solemn.

"Your Highness means that someone is manipulating behind your back?" Li Zhen hurriedly asked.

"I don't dare to say whether anyone is manipulating behind my back, but one thing is certain, that Henan Yin Wang Ning didn't tell the truth!"

"How so?"

"The mutant people are besieging Luocang, but he is asking for Heyang soldiers and horses, don't you think it's a little strange?" Princess Yanqing asked rhetorically.

Li Zhen looked dazed.

On the contrary, Liu Yu immediately reacted and said: "Your Highness means that although the soldiers and horses of Heyang are the closest to Luocang, it is quite inconvenient to have a big river (that is, the Yellow River) separated from Luocang, but the soldiers and horses of the Xuanwu Festival who are a little farther away can go directly to Luocang from the official road, so Xuanwu is undoubtedly the best choice!" ”

After hearing this, Princess Yanqing cast a touch of approval on Liu Yuan, and then said with a smile: "Yes, Wang Ning is so reluctant to seek the near and far, don't you think it's weird?" ”

Princess Yanqing continued: "And what is even more intriguing is that Wang Ning did not mention the matter of appeasement in his recital, there was a civil uprising under his jurisdiction, and the first thing he had to do as Henan Yin was to appease the people, but he did not mention anything about it in his recital!" ”

Li Zhen thought for a while and wondered: "Since this is the case, then Your Majesty and the courtiers didn't think of these many doubts?" ”

"It is precisely because of these thoughts that His Majesty will give you the talisman!" Princess Yanqing immediately replied.

"Then this is even more wrong, since Your Majesty has thought of this, how can you hand over the talisman to me? As for the matter of commanding the army, any of these courtiers is much stronger than me! Li Zhen was even more suspicious when he heard this.

When Princess Yanqing heard this, she looked at Li Zhen in surprise and said, "Where did your brain go when you calculated the palace?" Why is this a stupid question? Since the Anshi Rebellion, all generations of His Majesty have been jealous of military generals, do you still remember why His Majesty Suzong did not use Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi when he recovered Chang'an, but used Fang Xuan, who had never led soldiers? ”

When Li Zhen heard this, he remembered the past of the year, when the Anshi rebels invaded Chang'an, Xuanzong fled to Shu, and the crown prince Li Heng went north to Lingwu to stand on his own and ascend the throne, and then his intention was to recover Chang'an, but Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and other famous generals of the dynasty did not use, but only used Fang Xuan, who could only talk on paper.

As a result, 40,000 soldiers of the Tang army died in Chen Tao's oblique battle, and since then the confidence that the Tang army had just established collapsed again.

Mengdong Ten Counties Liangjiazi,

Blood made Chen Tao Ze in the water.

There is no sound of war in the wilderness,

Forty thousand rebels died on the same day.

The group of Hu returned to wash the arrows in blood,

Still singing and drinking in the city.

All the people turned back to the north and cried,

Day and night, I look forward to the arrival of the officers and soldiers.

Undoubtedly, the culprit of the defeat in this battle was Su Zong, and it was precisely because of his jealousy of Guo and Li that it directly led to the failure of the first battle to recover Chang'an. However, in the end, it was the veteran Guo Ziyi who regained his strength a year later and regained the lost territory of the two capitals in one fell swoop.

However, the shadow of the Anshi Rebellion has not been erased from the hearts of the emperors since then, but has become an indelible nightmare, making them no longer trust the generals in the past.

Just like the Divine Forbidden Army, these emperors would even rather reuse the eunuchs around them than let Wu Li lead the forbidden army, so the eunuchs had the opportunity to officially appear on the stage of history, performing scene after scene of tragicomedy in this stormy late Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhen knew this very well, but he also knew that another meaning of his father's move was nothing more than to let himself use this opportunity to earn some military merits, but even so, Li Zhen still felt that his father's move was too risky.

"No, I want to meet Your Majesty!" Li Zhen said and walked out.

"Wait, aren't you asking for trouble when you go to see Your Majesty?" Princess Yanqing immediately stopped.

"Why?" Li Zhen said in surprise.

"Now that the edict has been issued, wouldn't it be a shame for your Majesty to let Your Majesty take back your destiny in public, and you are now deeply trusted by Your Majesty, you are purely looking for scolding, how can Your Majesty believe you in the future? Even the good impression you have just made among the courtiers will be ruined! ”

Although Princess Yanqing is not involved in court politics, she is well versed in the way of being a minister and understands the heart of a king, otherwise there would not be so many vassal courtiers.

After hearing this, Liu Yu nodded and said, "What Her Royal Highness the Princess said is good, Shao Langjun should not go to see Your Majesty!" ”

"That'...... Isn't it dangerous for me to go? Li Zhen said with a bitter face.

Seeing this, Princess Yanqing couldn't help but smile and said, "How come my first genius in the Tang Dynasty has become so timid and afraid at this time?" You didn't have the guts to calculate this palace so little! ”

Li Zhen smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Your Highness, don't make fun of me, it's okay for me to calculate and harm people, but this time is different, I always feel that this time things are more terrible than they seem on the surface, and even I think all this is just a conspiracy!" Knowing that you have to jump into the fire pit, this is not a wise move! ”

"Hehe, the edict has been given, even if it is a fire pit, you have no room to turn around! This palace advises you to explain what happened after death, so as not to be caught off guard when the time comes! When Princess Yanqing saw Li Zhen's sad face, her face suddenly bloomed.

Li Zhen sighed again and again as if frost had hit.

"You don't have to worry too much, maybe it's not as complicated as we say? And that Zheng Ya's son Zheng Jin, who is not under you, is not under you, and he is well versed in the way of commanding the army, this time he will definitely be able to help, in addition, this palace will give you another big gift! Princess Yanqing smiled mysteriously at Li Zhen.
