"Jun's grace is as high as the sun, and he will be as powerful as a puff. The shadow is in the sky, how can you see the sun? Wang Zheng sighed when he saw it, he had been in the north court for many years, and he knew that the festival made the army, government, people, and financial power in one, and he could decide the life and death of thousands of soldiers and civilians under his account with a wave of his hand.

"I have lived in Chang'an for a long time, but I don't know that the situation in the border towns is so sinister, if the towns in the west follow the example of the thief, my family will be in danger in the world......" King Jianning forced his heart to be uneasy, and humbly asked: "Father-in-law, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers left in the hands of the thieves, he does not concentrate on defending the city, and frequently attacks and harasses our army, what is the benefit?" ”

"Tian Chengsi is old in the battle formation, and he knows that the defense of the city cannot be blindly retreated, and only by attacking instead of defending can it last."

"The wisdom of the thief is compared to His Highness and the marshal, but it is only the light of a grain of rice." Won Jae said with a smile.

"Father-in-law is not in a hurry to storm the city, is it not to ambush the enemy army in Youzhou to rescue Changshan?" Li Qi was so preoccupied with the battle situation that he didn't hear Yuan Zai's flattery at all.

"Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, if you can attack, you can attack, if you can ambush, you can adapt to the situation." Wang Zheng saw that he earnestly instructed: "Luoyang is lost, the rebels have all the arsenal of the eastern capital and Tingzhou equipment, our army has been unable to monopolize the advantages of the ordnance, and the difficulty of attacking the city has increased dramatically, and the counties of Hebei have anyway, righteousness has gathered, and a certain person has risen to besiege the city and ambush the meaning." ”

"Tian Chenghe's night attack on the Hebei Righteous Army......" King Jianning was stunned: "Could it be that he has guessed the strategy of the adults?!" ”

"The backbone of the Hebei Righteous Army is the county unity army, which seems to be outnumbered and powerful, but it has not been tempered by the war, and it is far inferior to the rebels. Tian Chenghei attacked it, with the intention of cutting off the wings of our army and forcing me not to divide my troops and set up an ambush. ”

"The field thief is treacherous and treacherous, how can the adult break it?"

"Using the soldiers of the North Court to help the Yan brothers and trapping Tian Chenghei in a dense cage is just an emergency measure; persuaded Pinglu Shi Siming to go straight to Youzhou, which was the aid to quickly quell the rebellion; Clarifying the power of the military and government, training the Hebei righteous army, eliminating its messy, preserving its elites, and training tens of thousands of elite soldiers loyal to the imperial court is the foundation of pacifying Youyan. "Wang Zhengjian has already had a belly case.

"It's a pity that the sage enshrined King Sheng as the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and the military power belongs to Li Xiang's party, and it is difficult for the marshal to have ambitions...... Yuan Zai sighed quietly.

"Yuan Judge, the sage reigns over the world, and the military affairs are arbitrary, how can a courtier talk about it." While King Jianning reprimanded Yuan Zai, he couldn't help but look at Wang Zhengjian's expression: "Father-in-law, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, Shi Siming and the thief have a good relationship, rather than waiting for him to send troops at both ends of the first rat, it is better to train the Hebei righteous army with his heart." Although he is not talented, he is willing to share his father-in-law's worries! ”

"A certain is the father of Scarlet, and he doesn't want to risk the arrow. However, as a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, I am very relieved to see His Royal Highness have such a responsibility. Wang Zhengjian said emotionally: "I only hope that you will always think of the people in the world, and don't forget your original intention because of selfish desires." ”

"Don't forget your original intention because of selfish desires...... Li Qi thought of the actions of his father and brother when he left Chang'an, and his heart sank: "No wonder Wang Zhengjian and his father are about to separate, they have always been different from the same path......

Unbeknownst to the two sons-in-law, who were chatting freely, on the long road from Gyeonggi to Jeongseongguan, several carrier pigeons pierced the night sky, and their slender feet were tied to the earth-shattering changes......

The Daming Palace is gloomy, and the white-clothed Qing is boundless.

Outside the noisy Zichen Palace, Hanlin scholar Li Mi looked up at the brilliant starry sky at midnight and was silent, as if he was in a state of mind.

"Although the Xingyao Palace is magnificent, it is not as natural as the moon is full of mountains and forests." Li Mi, who is half dressed in official robes and half cultivated, misses the inaccessible Zhongnan Mountain for no reason.

As soon as the thought came to him, Li Mi immediately realized that the thoughts that seemed to arise for no reason were actually due to a sudden coup frenzy that pierced his seemingly solid Dao heart.

"After more than ten years in the dynasty, he has won the world with his conceit and wisdom, and he has only one hand. Once the wind and clouds rise, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are full of sores, and they are smiling and generous. ”

There is a classic line in the movie "The Godfather": "People who spend half a second to see through the essence of things are destined to have completely different fates from those who spend their whole lives not being able to see the essence of things." Li Mi, who is rarely famous, undoubtedly belongs to the former, when his peers are still ignorant and do not know the height of the sky, the complicated bustling world has long been clearly analyzed by his seven tricks, black and white.

Through Li Mi's clear and clear eyes, the criss-crossing court is like a well-defined chessboard, and the chess pieces of all parties are intriguing and taking turns to fight, and what they want is nothing more than fame and fortune. If greed is like Li Linfu and others, the people who want to do it are naturally poor and extravagant; Those who are as loyal as the king's loyal heirs may not be in love with the name of history. The saints of the four seas of Yuyu give up the beauty of the country and the mountains; The prince who hibernates in the East Palace, diligently seeks to fly the dragon in the sky.

All kinds of people in the world can't escape the shackles of fame and profit, and if they take advantage of the situation, they will be unfavorable. Li Mi, who has seen through everything, takes mountains and rivers as furnaces, clouds and clouds as food, fog and lan as drinks, and pine stones as friends, refining the heart of the Tao in the endless world, cutting off the fetters of fame and fortune, and appreciating the mystery of the avenue.

However, Li Mi is not a passive hermit, he never thinks that the Tao is in the wilderness. The avenue is born with heaven and earth, and manifests itself in the earthly people. If you want to do it, you will fix it; If you want to be born, you must first enter the world. How to understand the mystery of the Tao without going through the wind and frost of the world. Therefore, the way that Li Mi seeks is first and foremost to protect the people of the world. He entered the court only to despise the authority of imperial power; took refuge in the East Palace, but because he was disgusted with the turmoil of the court, he was worried that it would affect the world.

What makes Li Mi helpless is that he can see through the hearts of the world's lovers, and he can also use the state of slaughtering cattle to swim in the whirlpool of court contention, but he is powerless to get rid of the greed of people's hearts. Li Mi tried his best to keep the crumbling East Palace from falling, but he couldn't stop the power-hungry prince from plotting against him by any means.

Concerned about the common people and supporting the prince, the East Palace is a thief in the world.

When it was learned that Li Heng had induced Yang Guozhong to set fire to King Sheng's granary in order to bring down Li Linfu, Li Yu's doubts and dissatisfaction with the crown prince reached their peak. He is not ignorant of the small actions of the East Palace party in private, but Li Mi was more willing to believe that the prince was deceived by Li Jingzhong and other villains, and Li Heng had to pinch his nose and endure some dirty methods in order to protect himself.

The flames in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an not only burned the grain of King Sheng, the livelihood of the victims, and the hope of Li Xiang, but also burned out the last trace of Li Yu's illusions. He suddenly realized that he was caught in the quagmire of power struggle, and his Dao heart, which should have been as white as a lotus, could not help but be contaminated with mortal dust, and committed the fallacy of sacrificing the original and chasing the end.

In the East Palace for a long time, the prince is almost obedient and respectful, and Tao Taoran's Li Mi occasionally forgets that the original intention of helping the prince is to be peaceful in the four seas and peaceful in the world.

Fortunately, Li Mi is by no means a mediocre person who is obsessed with power, once he finds that he is in a misguided path, he immediately responds to the opportunity, stays away from the Chang'an court, and jumps out of the mud in the name of traveling to the west of the city. The reason why Li Mi is so decisive is that in addition to remorse and avoiding trouble, it is also because someone in Beijing has taken the initiative to shoulder the burden of protecting the people.

To Li Mi's surprise, Wang Fei, who had high hopes for him, failed to stop the bloody storm set off by the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, and Chixian Shenzhou suddenly became a hell emptied by turbid waves.

The mountains and forests are lovely, and the common people are more precious.

After returning to Chang'an non-stop, Li Mi bypassed the old master and directly joined the saint and counsellor the military aircraft, not caring about the comments of the fools.

On the way to Beijing, Li Mi saw through Ge Shuhan's scheming and urged the sage to appease the Longyou army for the overall situation and ensure the safety of Luoyang. Although Feng Changqing and Wang Fei tried their best, they fell short and failed to hold the eastern capital, but the vanguard of the Longyou Army saved the Suye army after being broken on the bank of the Luoshui River in time.

Luoyang fell and the world shook, but Li Mi was not discouraged. After carefully checking the geography of the mountains and rivers and the military situation of Hebei, he was keenly aware that after the rebels occupied the eastern capital, not only did the swift attack faintly reveal the fatigue of the end of the strong crossbow, but the long grain road between Youzhou and Luoyang also became the fatal weakness of the enemy.

Gao Xianzhi, Wang Zhengjian, Li Guangbi and other border town generals coincided with Li Mi, under the push of everyone, the sage and King Sheng vetoed Yang Guozhong's stupid idea of attacking Luoyang, and adopted the strategy of "attacking the north and defending the south", gathering heavy troops out of Hedong, and Wang Zheng lived up to expectations, recovering Taiyuan, out of Jingcheng, and besieging Changshan, approaching the rebels' lair step by step.

At the same time, the soldiers and horses of the king of Xiqin arrived in Gyeonggi successively, the military situation in Chang'an was peaceful, and King Sheng went out of Huazhou to serve as the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, which made the people of Guanzhong feel at ease. For King Sheng, Li Mi didn't like it, and he didn't think he could be much stronger than Li Heng. But since the saint had made up his mind to set up another East Palace, Li Mi would not stop it, unless this move threatened the overall situation of counterinsurgency.

At present, the emperor's wrist is old and spicy, and in the light of understatement, King Sheng's reputation is rising, and the prince's party is bleak. Li Mi was convinced that once Wang Zhengjian or Li Guangbi conquered Youzhou, the day An Lushan was crowned would be the time when the East Palace would change hands.

Li Mi, who is deeply aware of the court pattern and people's hearts, knows that the prince is unwilling to lose the position of the East Palace, and will definitely wait for the opportunity to move. In order to prevent the Chang'an Dynasty from interfering with the front-line counterinsurgency war, Li Mi secretly communicated letters between Gao Xiangui and Gao Feng, and deployed Anxi soldiers and horses to the important places in Gyeonggi to defend the Huazhou camp.

The Qarluq people once betrayed the Tang Dynasty during their western expedition to Shiguo, and Feng Changqing and Wang Fei both reminded Li Mi to be on guard against the scheming plotter. Fearing chaos on the front line, Li Mi deliberately left it in the western suburbs of Chang'an, far away from Huazhou, and ordered the Shatuo Department of the Beiting Domain to be in charge of surveillance.

In the eyes of the world, Wang Zhengjian, who is powerful in Hedong, is one of the few generals in the prince's party. Li Mi and Wang Fei can be said to have forgotten each other, and he naturally knows that Wang Zhengjian and the East Palace are about to leave. However, even so, when Ge Shuhan asked Liu Poyu to guard Pu Jiandu to guard Wang Zhengjian, Li Mi still suggested that the sage allow Ge Shuhan to play.

It's not that Li Mi doesn't trust the Wang family and his son, it's just that the world is in danger, and he will never allow any more errands.

But even if you are as smart as Li Mi, there are times when the whip is beyond reach. The concubine and lady cried to the sage, and Li Mi, who was avoiding outside the palace, carefully sorted out and deliberated on the movements of all parties inside and outside Chang'an City before the coup, and it only took a moment to sort out the origin of the coup.
