Chapter 207: Luoyang Defeat (2)

Except for the curiosity when I first came into contact with the army, I have never been as fanatical as Li Shimin.

After Daddy's secret order to withdraw the army was sent to Li Shimin's army in an expedited manner, there was no military report from Luoyang for several days.

When Li Shimin led his troops to Turkic to pick up his father in Jinyang, he had already upset his father because he didn't take his father's orders seriously, and he didn't know how to learn a lesson.

While I was secretly anxious for the 100,000 army under Li Shimin's command, I sent Tang Lin to the Luoyang army immediately to see what the situation was.

The day after I returned to Shizifu, the news of the defeat of Luoyang by Li Shimin, the governor of the right leading army, had already spread in Daxing City without listening to the orders of the Tang King and defeating Luoyang.

Because my body had not yet recovered, I drank a bowl of extremely bitter medicine under the supervision of Zi Min, and lay on the couch in the backyard to listen to Zi Min caressing the qin. Dad also sent Pei Lin over to preside over the affairs of the Shizi Mansion, I don't have to worry about anything, just wait for Tang Lin to come back.

When Chai Xiaohe hurriedly broke into the house, the sound of the piano in Zimin's hand just slipped to the highest feather note, and I didn't hear what Chai Xiaohe said at all.

Seeing that Chai Xiaohe was anxious, Zimin put away the sound of the piano, and the Yashe calmed down, and then asked for me: "Mr. Chai, what happened to be so panicked?" ”

Chai Xiaohe held the bamboo curtain and rested for a while before repeating: "Shizi, someone leaked the secrets of the army, and now almost everyone knows that the second prince disobeyed the order and refused to return to the division, and was defeated in a fierce battle with the Sui general Duan Da outside Luoyang City, and returned defeated, and now only half of the 100,000 army is left." ”

There was an abrupt "fight" in the house.

Zi Min ignored the pressure of the strings with her hands, and got up suddenly, but her little finger was scratched by the strings, she snorted lightly, turned her head and looked at me suspiciously, and it took a while to regain her composure, and said, "Big brother, this matter is ......."

Before she finished speaking, she turned to say, "Has Tang Lin ever come back?" ”

I felt a headache, closed my eyes and shook my head.

Zimin walked up to me and sat down, and said in a low voice, "Father's secret order, only the eldest brother knows. Now that everyone knows this, how can the eldest brother prove his innocence? ”

I got up from the couch, looked at Chai Xiaohe and said, "Mr. Chai, go and invite Mr. Chen Changshi and Mr. Xun to ......."

He turned around to leave, but I stopped him again and said, "Invite Dr. Xun Jian as well." ”

Chai Xiaohe replied "yes" and withdrew.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight.

Zimin looked at me, but I pressed the scratched place on her little finger, took her in my arms and said, "Do you remember that when you married me, you had three chapters with me?" ”

She nodded, her frowning brows stretched slightly, and she smiled: "How could you forget?" ”

I asked again, "Did the big brother ever disobey?" ”

Zi Min smiled again: "The eldest brother is a humble gentleman, a gentleman is a promise, more important than a daughter, naturally he will not break his word." ”

I laughed and said, "You think highly of me." ”

Zimin shook his head and said, "Zimin is not the only one who thinks this. ”

I said, "When you married me, you didn't want to, but now I'm a little scared." ”

Zimin's eyes darkened, and he said, "Big brother, what are you afraid of?" ”

I sighed and said slowly, "I'm afraid you'll regret it in the future." ”

Zimin looked at me suspiciously, and said word by word: "No matter what happens in the future, with the eldest brother here, Zimin has no regrets in this life." ”

I said, "Won't you really regret it?" Today, the eldest brother also made an agreement with you in three chapters, and if you agree, the eldest brother will believe you. ”

Zimin pursed her lips and was about to cry, but I stopped her and said, "The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it." You don't have to worry too much about this matter, the agreement between the eldest brother and you has nothing to do with today's events. ”

Zimin thought for a moment before saying, "You say." ”

I hesitated for a moment and said, "No matter what happens in the future, my eldest brother doesn't want you to have today's doubts......"

Before the words fell, Zimin said: "I don't ......"

She looked at me and didn't finish her sentence, just nodded and said, "Hmm." ”

I said: "As a son of the world, the eldest brother can't do everything, if there is anything that can't stand you in the future, I hope you don't blame me...... Even if you complain, it doesn't matter. ”

Zi Min was stunned for a moment before he said: "Big brother has always acted reasonably, if he really can't stand me, there must be a reason, I don't blame you." ”

I smiled and said, "The third thing...... I haven't thought about it yet, so I'll tell you when I'm done. ”

Zimin also smiled: "Big brother will also be tricky." ”

I didn't speak for a long time, but I thought that if I did, she would probably not be at ease again.

It's better not to say it.

I shifted my attention to all the possibilities of a military order being leaked.

Daddy's secret order for Li Shimin to withdraw his troops was indeed only told to me, he knew Li Shimin's heart very well, and he must be unwilling to return in vain, so except for Xu Shixu, who went to deliver the letter, he never told anyone else.

And after I returned to the Shizi Mansion, only Zimin and Tang Lin knew about it, and Tang Lin went to Luoyang for nearly ten days and there was no news.

Chen Yanshou and Xun Yi had actually been waiting outside the Yashe for a long time, and I forgot to tell Chai Xiaohe to let them go to the Ink Saving Hall.

I don't want this little piece of pure land to be disturbed by mundane affairs.

Zimin and I walked out of the house hand in hand.

In the Ink Preservation Hall, everyone looked serious, and Chen Yanshou looked at me with distrust.

Xun Yi spoke first: "Shizi, now that the second son's disobedience is known all over the city, what is going on?" ”

He spoke in a serious tone, obviously questioning me, and he was still haunted by the fact that I almost killed Li Shimin more than ten years ago.

Chai Xiaohe glanced at Xun Yiyi: "General Xue has to be polite when talking to the prince." ”

Xun Yi snorted coldly.

What I didn't expect was this stubble, the people who had always been regarded as my cronies in the Shizifu were now suspicious of me.

Chen Yanshou also said: "Shizi, as far as I know, the secret order of the Tang King, only the prince knows, and now that the secret order has been leaked, it is so unrighteous and embarrassing to His Royal Highness the Tang King, the prince must be cautious when he does it." ”

I didn't say a word, I stood silently in my study, or rather, I didn't know how to speak in front of them.

Chen Yanshou's relationship with his father is extraordinary, and his words actually represent his father's opinion.

Zimin leaned lightly against me, one hand on my waist, as if trying to give me a little comfort.

Originally, I was going to discuss this matter with them, but Xun Yi and Chen Yanshou's questioning made me a little disheartened, so I smiled bitterly and waved my hand to signal them to go out.

Chai Xiaohe stopped: "The prince, if His Royal Highness the King of Tang is held accountable, the prince will have to think about how to deal with it early." Although he is also full of wealth, he looks down on this kind of means of fighting for power and profit.
