Chapter 206: Luoyang Defeat (1)
I went so weak that I fell straight on top of him.
A vague figure ran over from far and near, grabbed me and said to Chai Xiaohe, "Where is Mr. Xun?" "The person who spoke was Zimin.
Chai Xiaohe said: "Mr. Xun was sent out by the prince a few days ago, I don't know what happened? ”
Zi Min said: "Is there a letter back?" ”
Chai Xiaohe said: "No." ”
I reluctantly supported myself to stand firm, and Zimin whispered to Chai Xiaohe: "Let Tang Lin go and prepare a carriage, just say that the princess suddenly feels unwell." ”
Chai Xiaohe said "yes" and walked away.
After he left, Zimin touched my forehead and whispered to me, "Big brother, how do you feel?" ”
In fact, I have been staying in the prince's mansion all day these days and have not gone out, and I don't have time to go out at all. Daddy transferred all the official documents that were sent to Shangshutai to the Shizifu and asked me to help him deal with them.
For example, if there is a big chaos today, there are papers flying everywhere, and urgent documents are piled up on the bookcase like snowflakes, plus all kinds of reprimands from Jiangdu, after all, Yang Guang, who is far away in Jiangdu, will never allow someone to overstep his responsibilities when he is still alive.
I can't read this kind of document at all, so I worked in the house from morning to night for half a month, but I began to feel obviously unwell, and I don't know why.
I pretended to look at the direction in which Li Shimin left, and waited for a long time before I finally came to my senses, and Tang Lin also came to my side and said, "Shizi, the carriage is ready." ”
Zi Min nodded and said, "This matter is not allowed to be spread to the outside world." ”
Tang Lin and Chai Xiaohe both agreed, and then retreated.
Zimin walked side by side with me, looking like I was holding her, but in fact, my whole weight was almost on her, and I walked to the carriage step by step.
I finally got into the car, I took a breath, and fell into Zimin's arms.
After a long time, the carriage staggered all the way, and I had the illusion of riding in a carriage for the first time, and what I used to think was new, now I only felt uncomfortable.
In a daze, someone shook me gently.
Zimin leaned into my ear and said, "Big brother, the prince's mansion has arrived." ”
I opened my eyes, and Zimin helped me up, and it took me a while to stand still, still feeling a splitting headache.
Zi Min helped me back to the backyard room to rest, and Sanniang broke in and said, "Zi Min's sister-in-law is sick?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked straight to the couch and said softly, "Is it the eldest brother?" ”
I closed my eyes and felt someone touch my forehead.
It was Sanniang, and as soon as her hand touched my forehead, she lost her voice and said, "Sister-in-law Zimin, why is it so hot?" Why don't you ask a doctor to take a look? ”
Zi Min said: "Xun Yi has already gone to ask Dr. Xun Jian, and he should be back today." ”
I couldn't hear what Sanniang said again, I only felt my chest tightness in a daze, and I lost consciousness in a groggy state.
When I woke up again, the room was quiet, the dim candle flame was still on, but far away from me, my hand was held, and I turned my head to look, Zi Min fell asleep on the edge of the bed.
I moved slightly, and Zimin was awakened.
When she saw me wake up, she smiled and said, "Big brother, are you awake?" There was no worry in his eyes.
This means that I am fine.
"Dr. Xun has treated you, and said that it is because of the busy affairs of the Shizi Mansion recently, the eldest brother has been thinking too much, and the weather is cold, which has caused the recurrence of old injuries." As she spoke, she got up to cover my quilt and said, "Father has come to see me during the day. ”
I heard her mention her father, my heart was uncomfortable, I couldn't help coughing, Zimin helped me up, and said while feeding me tea: "Big brother, my father is now the king of Tang and a very popular minister, but my eldest brother refuted in public, so that my father couldn't get off the stage, if it weren't for the people of the world to take this matter over, how would the eldest brother end?" In front of the hundred officials, although you are father and son, you are also a monarch and a minister, since the eldest brother acts for the good of his father, he should also think more about his father. ”
Her words reminded me that I had completely forgotten about that.
I nodded, but I was still a little worried, and thought about it: "Li Shimin will definitely be defeated if he goes, how should my father deal with himself at that time?" ”
Zi Min said with a smile: "If he is really defeated, the people of the world will not be able to escape the blame, after all, it is he who asked for his life first." And the first person to oppose is you, big brother, what will the ministers of the Tang Mansion think of you? In this case, Father is still planning for you,"
I was stunned for a while before I reacted, and Zimin has always seen problems much more clearly than others.
It was late at night, and Sanniang walked in with a worried face outside the door.
Seeing me and Zimin leaning together and talking, he glared at me viciously before saying, "Big brother, you have broken Zimin's sister-in-law." ”
I looked at Zimin and smiled, "How about making amends another day?" ”
Zi Min smiled, but Sanniang said: "Zi Min's sister-in-law, don't spare him easily, his old injury also ......" She said half of it, feeling inappropriate, so she didn't say anything.
I held Zimin's hand and continued her words: "I also tossed Ruoxiu badly. ”
Zimin smiled again, and Sanniang exhaled on the side.
Now when you are so concerned in your heart, but you are no longer attached, you can really let go.
Early the next morning, I went to the Tang Palace, looking for my father.
There are not too many military newspapers from Luoyang, my father stood in front of the bookcase, followed by Pei Lian, who is now the prime minister, and shook his head while flipping through the military newspaper that had just come, and he did not hide the disappointment on his face when I was in the conference hall.
Chai Xiaohe's assertion is indeed true, and it is an obvious fact that the battle in Luoyang is unfavorable.
I stood in the conference hall, remembered what Zimin had said to me before, and arched my hand: "Father......"
Before I could say what I had to say, my father motioned for me to sit down on the couch on the side, waved his hand to let Pei Lin out, Pei Lin arched his hand at me, and withdrew.
Dad walked up to me, sat down with me, patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Completed, what you said is true, now it is a good strategy to capture Luoyang, the people of the world have been defeated and retreated outside Luoyang City, according to my father's view, I am afraid that I will withdraw my troops back to Chang'an in the near future." ”
I thought for a moment and said, "Didn't my father know that this was a doomed defeat?" ”
Dad shook his head, "Soldiers are taboo, greedy for merit, and my father was confused for a while." ”
As soon as the suspicion was gone, I became curious about the battle situation in Luoyang, got up and walked to my father's Zhuo case, looking at the Luoyang city defense map, the direction of Li Shimin's march and the retreat that my father thought of for him.
It turned out that I had been in a coma for quite some time.
I said, "When is my father going to let the people withdraw from the army?" ”
Daddy touched his beard and said, "Three days later." Xue Ju wanted to lead troops to attack Chang'an in the west, but his defense was unstable, and it was useless to advance eastward, so he simply withdrew his troops and cheapened Wang Shichong. ”
I pointed to the retreat route drawn by my father for Li Shimin and said: "If Shimin can't attack the city and pretend to retreat, Wang Shichong has always been conceited, and he will definitely send people to chase him. ”
Daddy smiled, "Just what I want." ”
