When Li Jing was young, he talked about the art of war with his uncle Han Baohu, who was a famous general of the Great Sui Dynasty, and once said to people that his nephew Li Jing would become a famous general in the future. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the age of sixteen, Li Jing became the Gongcao of Chang'an, and later served as the county commander. It can be said that when Li Jing was young, his career was still very smooth, but he never held a military position. It wasn't until he was nearly fifty years old that he became a Mayi county commander and became a general with troops.

Compared with Li Ji and Li Chao, who led thousands of armies and horses at a young age and were invincible, Li Jing was a late bloomer. He really showed his talent in military affairs after the Tang Dynasty. In a series of battles with Li Xiaogong to pacify the southeast, he showed outstanding talent.

It can be said that the Tang Dynasty pacified the southeastern half of the country, and it was Li Xiaogong who was in charge, but it was Li Jing who really commanded. After the Xuanwumen Rebellion, he sat in Hedong, and also won many impressive achievements in the battles with the Turks.

Therefore, in today's Tang military circles, it has the name of the god of war.

However, this military god of the military world was trapped in the dungeon of Dali Temple at this time.

At the age of 60, his energy and physical strength have greatly decreased.

He was escorted back from the front line of Xiangyang by Li Yuan, and after he came back, Li Yuan didn't see his face, so he was thrown into this dungeon and never saw the light of day. After sitting in prison for a long time, I learned that Li Chao had beaten Hanjing City, and then not long after the emperor returned, but he was still locked in this prison.

It's just that his identity has changed from a prisoner of Emperor Wude to a prisoner of Zhenguan Tianzi. 、

The crime of settling in his cell has also changed from fornicating with the rebels to conspiring against the rebels.

Life in the dungeon was hard, dark and damp. Especially now that the winter is cold, it is even colder in the dungeon. The cell where he squatted was not allowed to be visited by his family, and he was not even allowed to send quilts and food.

Lying on a pile of moldy straw, eating a frozen hard nest.

If it weren't for the fact that there were always rats in this prison, Li Jing could occasionally catch a mouse to replenish it, he would have frozen and starved to death here.

There was only one meal a day, so every time he ate, Li Jing drew a line on the wall, counting the ways on it, so that he could know how long he had been in this dark cell.

The scariest thing about staying here is not freezing and starving, but loneliness.

The jailer only came once a day to deliver the food, and then left. He didn't talk to him at all, and every time he tried to talk to the jailers, trying to find out from him about the situation outside, to know the news of his wife and children and grandchildren. But he suspected that the jailer was mute, because he paid no attention to him.

Such days made him crazy, and even thought about hanging himself.

But in the end, I still couldn't let go of my wife and grandchildren.

I may never be able to get out, Li Jing thought to himself, the emperor has been back for so long, but he is still locked up here, which means that the emperor hates him.

But his heart was full of bitterness, he didn't serve the emperor, he was just coerced.

The body is getting weaker and weaker, and maybe he will die here. He is not afraid of death, he is sixty years old, many people do not live to this age, he just doesn't want to die here in this capacity, he doesn't want his family to be implicated by him.

Who can save me?

He thought in his heart that his wife would definitely not be able to save him, and his brother-in-law Zhang Zhongjian was afraid that he would not have the ability. Unless he was willing to give up his fiefdom and sneak into prison to get him out, then they would have to wander the world.

Or, only Li Chao can save himself.

He had a special position with the emperor, and he was also his own family.

But why hasn't Li Chao come to rescue him yet?

Li Jing felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he finally passed out.

"Wei Gong."

Someone was calling him, Li Jing slowly opened his eyes, but what he saw was Li Chao.

"Wenyuan?"

"You've finally woken up, and Madame Li is worried about you." Li Chao said with a smile.

Then Li Jing saw his wife Hongfu girl coming over with a cup, "Drink some honey water, you are at home now, it is all thanks to Wen Yuan, he rescued you." You've lost weight, and you're no longer human. The red whisk twisted to the side to wipe away tears. She once thought that her husband would never be able to come out again, and she ran around begging countless people, but it was useless.

"Gong Wei, drink some honey water, and drink some porridge later. Today, I have one more important thing that I need your help with. ”

After drinking some water, Li Jing felt that his body gradually regained some strength.

"You saved my old life, what do you need me to do, just say it." Li Jing said.

"Your Majesty." Li Chao sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Your Majesty hasn't been sleeping well lately, and you always have nightmares, so ask me for medicine." I gave His Majesty a prescription, which required Duke Wei, as well as my father-in-law, as well as Duke Mao and General Jingde. The five of us will stand guard for Your Majesty tonight. ”

Li Jing chuckled.

"Heart disease still needs heart medicine, your prescription is really unique, but maybe it really works."

After sitting for a while, Li Chao said goodbye to Li Jing and his wife, "Wei Guo will rest first, Mrs. will prepare the armor for Wei Gong, I will go to meet my stepfather and them first, and I will come over to pick up Wei Gong into the palace later." ”

After saying goodbye to Li Jing, Li Chao went to Qin Qiong's house.

In fact, letting the general stand guard for Li Shimin is just to make the emperor feel safe, which is a kind of psychological therapy, which seems to be quite mysterious, but in fact, it is like this.

Li Shimin also did this in history, but only Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong were used to guard the door, and as a result, these two became door gods. Li Chao originally only needed Yu Chi Qin Qiong to stand guard, but this was also an opportunity, just to save Li Jing.

Li Jing's matter is actually not a big deal. It's just that Emperor Li Shimin is in a bad mood now, and Li Jing wants to be neutral and not support the emperor when he is in Xuanwumen, and this time he promised the reward of the Emperor Taishang and received the soldiers, although Li Jing was obviously negative and let himself be imprisoned, but Li Shimin will not be satisfied.

If no one intercedes for Li Jing, then it is very likely that Li Jing will be cut. If Li Chao wants to intercede for Li Jing, he has to find an opportunity. This is just an opportunity, and it is also an attitude to let Li Jing stand guard for Li Shimin.

"Congratulations to my father-in-law on being promoted to deputy privy envoy, and I am given the title of military aircraft of the Ping Zhang." As soon as Li Chao came in, he smiled and congratulated Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong was originally the governor of the left army of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, this time he raised troops to the king of Qin, was made by the envoy of the Longjie Festival, and followed the emperor to fight Tongguan and then Luoyang, and worked hard. After returning to Beijing, he has replaced Chai Shao as the privy deputy envoy, and also added the title of Pingzhang Military Aircraft, which can be regarded as the assistant of the three courts of the imperial court.

Of course, Qin Qiong is still the king of Qi County of the Tang Dynasty.

"Standing guard for Your Majesty tonight?" Qin Qiong listened to Li Chao's intentions, although she was a little surprised, she still nodded, "Of course it's no problem." ”

I heard that Li Jing will also go, "You did a good job, Wei Gong is actually quite wronged, you can help him speak, you are doing a good job." ”

Li Chao said with a smile, "Whether we can help Duke Wei or not depends on whether we can let His Majesty sleep well tonight." ”

Qin Qiong asked, "Is it really useful for the five of us to stand guard for Your Majesty?" ”

"Of course it works." Li Chao said, but what he didn't tell Qin Qiong was that it was of course not enough to just stand guard, and he also prepared a special cup of tea for Li Shimin. In fact, tea is what really makes Li Shimin fall asleep, but tea alone is not enough. The tea just made Li Shimin fall asleep, but with the story of the five generals' guards, Li Shimin woke up and felt that the five generals' guards had played a role, so that he could remove the pressure in his heart and really get better.

Two things are indispensable. However, those don't need to tell Li Shimin and Qin Qiong about them.
