For the officials up and down in Luoyang, Li Xian was crowned King Yong by King Pei, and even if he was awarded the governor of Liangzhou and the general of Zuo Wuwei, it was not surprising. However, this famous prince in Luoyang suddenly ran to the desolate place in Liangzhou, and suddenly took over the important task of pacifying Liangzhou, which immediately made everyone dumbfounded.

Those scholars who had blocked the gate of King Pei were all beating their chests there, if they had known that Li Xian was really better at martial arts than Aiwen, what did they spend so much effort on? It's better to find a way to meet Li Jingxuan, the chief examiner, to be serious! As for those generals who had tried every means to seek a place in the vanguard army of the East through Li Xian, they were even more puzzled, didn't they hear that Li Xian wanted to go to Haidong, why did he go to the northwest all of a sudden?

"The so-called sound of the east and the west, but that's it."

When the old fox Li Ji met with those generals at home, he always used such a concise sentence to perfunctory the past. As for Li Jingye, he scoffed at his grandfather's statement that he was attacking the West - Li Xian's guy was obviously impulsive, where is there such a clever calculation!

Although he was angry that Li Xian didn't take him with him when he left, he is now calm. He is a general in the pro-mansion, but unlike Cheng Bohu and Xue Dingshan, it is absolutely impossible to rashly follow him to Liangzhou. And as Li Xian's companion for many years, the person who knows the other party's heart best, he has become more and more diligent in entering the palace these days, and he wants to inquire about a quasi-letter.

In the East Palace, Li Hong heard that Li Jingye and Li Xian were coming together, and he suddenly felt that one head and two were big. Li Jingye didn't care, but he probably came to ask him about the imperial court's strategy on the northwest issue; But his younger brother ...... Just because Li Xian slipped away quickly, the matter that promised Li Xian and Mrs. Rongguo to return to Bingzhou together to pay tribute to the sweep was gone, and now it is entangled with him. However, because of Li Xian's sneaking incident and Helan Yan's injury incident, Mrs. Rongguo's trip to the state was naturally in vain, what could he do?

"Just say I'm uncomfortable......"

"Fifth brother. Look what good stuff I've brought you! ”

Li Hong didn't finish a word, and a loud shout came from outside, followed by. A stocky young man rushed in like a gust of wind, and he was carrying a bird cage in his hand, which was a colorful and beautiful finch, who else was Li Xian?

"Fifth brother, you see, this is something I got so easily, it is very precious, and when I cry, it is better than a human singing. You are busy with official business all day long, and there is no shortage of leisure time to relieve boredom. Even if this brother of mine does his best! Li Xian carried the bird cage to show off, and his eyes scanned Li Hong's face, "Fifth brother, you can help me think of a way......

"Stop!" Li Hong knew what the younger brother was going to say next, and he felt more and more that his head was faintly swollen and painful. Quickly took a sip. Seeing Li Xian looking at himself. He couldn't help but sigh that it was all a good thing that Li Xian had done. But he had to comfort softly, "Grandma is just for Helan." Only then did the trip to merge the state be suspended. It is as little as ten days, and as much as half a month. She's going to go, so be patient and wait. I can tell you, the Father and the Queen Mother are angry now, don't talk nonsense to make them angry! ”

If the first sentence still made Li Xian discouraged, then the next sentence immediately made him tremble. After Li Xian ran away secretly, he still wanted to entangle something when he entered the palace once, but he was glared at by the phoenix eyes of the Empress Wu, and he immediately had a nightmare after he went back.

At this time, the crown prince Liangyuan Ah Fei happened to arrive, and seeing Li Xian's face full of frustration, he stepped forward to comfort him a few words, but I don't know if it was her gentleness or Li Xian figured it out, Ah Fei actually coaxed Li Xian to Xichi, which made Li Hong breathe a sigh of relief.

And Li Jingye arrived a step late, and he had been watching with a smile from the side just now, and then he came up to salute. Because of Li Xian's relationship, he and the crown prince Li Hong are also familiar with each other, so he quickly got straight to the point.

"Your Majesty has crowned His Royal Highness King Yong as the Governor of Liangzhou, and has increased troops in the Hehuang area, and even the Anxi Protectorate has been mobilized, what is going on in the northwest? Tubo wolf ambition, if he doesn't fight this time, Tuyuhun is only afraid of danger, so why let King Yong stay there? ”

Speaking of this, Li Hong could hardly find any other expression except for sighing: "That's just a method that the first mother was forced to find out helplessly, although my father agreed, but how easy it was to let him agree to the northwest to move troops!" Now the opinion of the officials in the court is that the envoy should be sent to Tubo to make a sacrifice, and now the focus should be on Goguryeo, after all, Quan Xiancheng has already arrived in Luoyang. ”

In other words, the Metropolitan Governor of Liangzhou is still just a name! Li Jingye couldn't help but mourn for Li Xian, but he still didn't give up in his heart. Although the crown prince is in charge of the country, Li Zhi, the son of heaven, is not completely indifferent, and after holding the military affairs in one hand, he actually has considerable decision-making power. Therefore, when he came out of the East Palace, he decided to go to the Great Ceremony Palace.

However, when he reached the ground, he pounced. Rongguo's wife Yang and Helan Yan entered the palace early in the morning

Then they went to the West Inner Garden!

Because of Qu Tushenruo's protection that day, Huo Huaien and others arrived in time, so Helan Yan's injuries were not serious. And these time-flowing supplements, and the best doctors check the pulse every day, and now she looks a little richer than before. However, her body was well raised, but there was no smile on her face. Li Xian, how could he leave her and run to Liangzhou!

"Smoke, smoke!"

A call from the side made her wake up suddenly, and she couldn't help blushing when she saw that Empress Wu and Mrs. Rongguo were all looking at her. And Mrs. Rongguo's Yang sighed lightly, and reached out to put her shoulder lovingly: "Xian'er also went all the way to Liangzhou for you, which shows his affection for you." As for himself, don't worry, there are soldiers and generals there, and he is not alone. ”

"Mother, you are still saying this at this time, he is refreshing to leave, how many things need to be dealt with after leaving behind?" Empress Wu couldn't help but snort at this time, her face was full of anger, "Your Majesty is naturally the first to be annoyed, and there are still Manchu civil and military forces in the remaining land." If Shangguan Yi hadn't been half persuaded by his rhetoric, this time the matter would be so simple! ”

"Mei Niang, Xian'er looks like she is slippery, but she is actually admitting death. But because of this, I was relieved to hand over the cigarette to him. Mrs. Rongguo disagreed, and then asked, "Although the governor of Liangzhou gave it to him, will the soldiers there be dissatisfied?" ”

Empress Wu smiled and said: "How can you not accept it, but it is just to calm down the situation and make this matter justified, is it possible that you are still going to let him fight there?" ”

"I heard that Liulang didn't catch that Qinling, and Tubo doesn't seem to be peaceful, in this situation, will he come back easily? I'm afraid I won't! ”

Yang frowned when he saw that he had said a word, and suddenly smiled again, and said meaningfully, "Mei Niang, you gave birth to your own son, don't you know his temper?" I don't know anything about military affairs, but if it weren't for the use of a large army to go on an expedition, it wouldn't be bad for him to be angry. When Qinling was in the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty and you were very kind to him, but he was so despicable, if he didn't teach him a lesson, wouldn't my Datang be disgraced? ”

Although Empress Wu is skilled in politics, she is not very proficient in military affairs, and when she heard her mother raise things to such a height, her brows turned into a knot, and she thought deeply about the gains and losses. At this time, Helan Yan opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but suddenly felt that her arm was twisted, and when she turned around, she saw her grandmother glaring at her, so she had to close her mouth temporarily.

"Mei Niang, think about it, have you ever been wrong in handling state affairs on behalf of Your Majesty over the years? Over the years, you have ruled the concubines of the inner palace, have you ever made any mistakes? You're so organized, and who better than you? However, there are still a lot of complaints about you among the court officials, why is this? ”

After a series of rhetorical questions from Mrs. Rongguo, she finally said solemnly: "Although Hong'er is the crown prince now, just one prince is not enough, besides, his body is too weak." Xian'er is the apprentice of Li Ji and Yu Zhining, I think there must be some means, you send another general to him, if the west can win, he will naturally gain momentum, but why not your glory? Xian'er and Hong'er have always been brothers and sisters, and they have been like this since they were young, so they shouldn't have to worry about that. ”

At the same time that Mrs. Rongguo lobbied the Empress Wu, the East Palace welcomed another visitor. According to the official position, the person who came could not be said to be a guest, Liu Renliang also had the official title of the prince's left concubine, and he could be regarded as the prime minister and the subordinate official of the East Palace. And the first thing he said when he saw Li Hong was to put forward his own views on Li Xian's presence in Liangzhou.

"Now that the Central Plains is leveled, there are occasional wars on the border, His Royal Highness King Yong has always been in harmony with His Royal Highness the Prince, if he goes to Liangzhou to make contributions, it will not only be harmless to His Royal Highness the Prince, but beneficial, so he should not be allowed to only bear the false name and no real power, otherwise, presumably King Yong himself may not be willing. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can make a statement to His Majesty, send a general to go at the same time, and then allow him to use troops, it will definitely make His Royal Highness King Yong even more grateful. ”

Li Hong didn't expect Liu Renliang to put forward such an opinion, he was stunned for a while, and only after a long time did he hesitate to ask: "My father has already sent the black tooth Changzhi, who is the general Liu Xianggong referring to?" ”

"Hei Zhi Changzhi is what I recommended that day, although this person has skills, but after all, he is a Baekje person, and the time to descend to the Tang Dynasty is too short, and the official position is not high, and his prestige is not obvious. What I'm talking about is Zuo Xiaowei's general Qi Bi He Li! ”

Thinking carefully about this arrangement, Li Hong also felt that it was feasible, but when he thought that Qi Qi He Li was the chief general of the vanguard army approved by his father, he was a little hesitant. However, Liu Renliang's words dispelled this last doubt. Liu Renliang said that he would personally return to the front line in Haidong!
