Zhang Wensu touched his beard, shook his head and smiled: "Now that the matter is over, why should His Highness have too many scruples? It is better to personally lead a large army to attack, and at that time, with Liyang as a basis, there is a better chance of victory. ”

After Zhang Wensu finished speaking, I understood what he meant, he actually hoped that I would adopt the second countermeasure and directly make enemies of Chang'an and Luoyang. I have always understood what Zhang Wensu was thinking, although he had never had the worldly idea of fighting for power and profit, but he hoped to assist a Ming monarch to revive the world with full of enthusiasm in troubled times, and I was the person he chose from the beginning.

In fact, with my performance over the years, he can be regarded as not knowing people, I am still just me, and I have not saved the people of the world, on the contrary, the people of the world have suffered a lot of disasters in my indecision.

Zhang Wensu saw that I was silent in thought, and continued: "Wensu understands what His Highness is thinking, so he only wants to ask His Highness a few questions. ”

I said, "Sir, excuse me." ”

Zhang Wensu said: "In front of the Xuanwu Gate that day, did Li Shimin ever care about the brotherhood with His Royal Highness? In Luoyang City, has His Majesty ever remembered His Highness's life-saving grace in the past? They didn't take these things into account, and if His Highness was still alone in his defense, why should he fight for the world again? It's better to go back, otherwise, it has just begun, and His Highness has already lost. ”

When I heard this, my heart moved, and I shook my head and said, "Although what Mr. Zhang said is not bad, but I still have thoughts in my heart that are difficult to give up. After speaking, he arched his hand at him, "I want to go back to Chang'an, and I will ask Mr. and Li Jing and Xu Shiyun to preside over all the affairs of Hebei." ”

Zhang Wensu let out a long sigh and nodded.

Back in the army, Zimin and Du Shu sat opposite each other, with a chessboard in front of them.

I knew that Zi Min couldn't see anything, and I was wondering what they were doing, so I heard Zi Min laugh softly: "Du Kill girl, you lost." ”

When I heard this, I walked to the chessboard, and when Du Shu saw someone coming, he raised his eyes and looked at me, but he didn't answer, only took a white piece and fell, and then lowered his head and frowned and thought for a long time. I looked closely, and most of the chess pieces were already placed, and it was obvious that white had won.

Du Shu thought for a long time before picking out a sunspot from the chess box, hesitated for a long time, but did not fall.

I saw it clearly on the side, knowing that although Zi Min couldn't see it, he dictated it, and then Du Kill helped set up the chess, and seeing that Du Kill was very embarrassed, he smiled and said: "Sister Du Kill, you have already lost, let's play another game." ”

Du Kill sighed as if nothing was happening when he heard this, and pushed the chessboard.

Zimin heard my voice and stretched out her hand, and I quickly reached over to support it and stood beside her.

Seeing this, Du Kill got up to leave.

I stopped her and said, "Kill my sister and stay here." ”

After she came back with Zhang Wensu, I haven't said a word to her properly.

Hearing this, Du Kill stopped, turned around and asked lightly, "What's the matter with my brother?" ”

I said, "What's wrong with the Seven Don't Kill Villa?" ”

When Du Kill heard this, his expression darkened, and he shook his head and said, "A plate of loose sand." ”

In the short four words, I already know it very clearly in my heart, looking at Du Kill's reaction, most of the people in the Seven Non-Killing Villa must have died and scattered, leaving only the name of the Villa.

I pointed at Zi Min and said: "Du kill my sister, Zi Min was designated as the first swordsman of the villa by the owner of the Qiu Zhuang back then, if the seven do not kill the villa and make a comeback, I don't know if this title is counted?" ”

Du Kill was stunned for a moment, and then said coldly: "Naturally." ”

I thought about it and nodded.

After Du Kill left, I put away the chessboard, and said beside Zimin: "I want to go back to Chang'an, can you rest assured?" ”

When Zi Min heard this, his body trembled, and then he smiled: "Why did you suddenly think of going back?" ”

I said, "I want to ask my father a word." ”

Zi Min said: "Does it have anything to do with the current situation?" ”

I nodded and said yes.

Zimin shook his head and said, "Big brother still wants to go back to Chang'an at this time, isn't that death?" ”

I said, "Zimin, you know, if I don't ask, I'll never know what I'm supposed to do." ”

Zi Min said: "I know what the eldest brother is thinking, but there has been no news since Sanniang and Chai Shao left, I thought this must not be a good thing." ”

I hugged her in my arms and said, "Yes, that's why I'm going to go." ”

Zimin took my hand and said: "The eldest brother has a noble status, and he is so rash to enter and exit the dangerous situation, not only are we suspenseful, but also the tens of thousands of soldiers outside the tent, I am afraid that they will also be afraid." They are actually not stupid, the reason why they follow the eldest brother is nothing more than thinking that they can become famous in the future, and the rumors are terrifying, in case there are any variables, Chang'an is far away, how can the eldest brother control the overall situation? ”

Her words reminded me, and I said, "How can I ...... with my father?"

Zi Min said: "Why don't you write a letter and let Tang ......" She said the word "Tang", and suddenly stopped, realizing that Tang Lin had left us long ago, which naturally touched Zimin's heart, and was silent for a moment before continuing, "Let Feng Li or someone else send it, so that the eldest brother doesn't have to take risks." ”

It's not that I've never thought of this method, but in a piece of paper, many things are difficult to explain and distinguish, and I can't guess what Daddy really meant.

Ke Zimin's worries are indeed very reasonable.

She leaned on me, I hugged her, somehow thought of a lot of the past, thinking of the first time my father raised the army, I was tired of the war and killing, only for my father, I reluctantly trained in the army, and followed my father all the way south to seize Chang'an.

After my father became emperor, although I had no intention of being the prince, my father still ignored my resignation and named me the crown prince. As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I didn't think too much about it, all I thought about was the trivial things that came out of the palace, but I myself had never looked at the world.

It's different now, and I have to think about so many things.

Thinking of this, I said to Zimin: "Since you are worried, I will not go." Mr. Zhang suggested that I attack Liyang, would you be worried? ”

Zimin shook his head and said, "I'm very relieved about this." ”

I smiled and said, "There is one more thing, Mr. Zhang thinks that I am now occupying Hebei, and my name is not right, so it is better to establish myself as the king, what do you think?" ”

Zi Min smiled when he heard this: "The eldest brother can do whatever he likes, but Chang'an still has a father." Oh yes, Sanniang has been gone for half a year, why is there no news? ”

I don't know why, but seeing that Zimin was worried, I had to comfort: "I'll send someone tomorrow." ”

On the second day, I was going to let Feng Li go to Chang'an, and in the Chinese military tent, someone came to report that there was an envoy from the king of Sui outside the camp who asked to see him.

When I heard this, I wondered, but I knew that it was useless to ask too much, so I ordered the messenger to be brought in.

When the envoy walked into the Chinese military tent, not only me, but even Zhang Wensu, Feng Li and Xu Shimo on the side were also shocked, it was Ding Cheng who had helped me come to Chang'an again in Jinyang.

Ding Cheng saw me and arched his hand: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I have a few words that I want to talk to His Highness alone." ”
