"Returning to the Queen of Heaven, His Royal Highness the Prince, according to common sense, there is a certain reason for what Imperial Physician Qin said, if His Majesty's illness is really like what Imperial Physician Qin said, using acupuncture and moxibustion to bleed is a good strategy, but it is just ...... After all, Your Majesty is my Tang Emperor, the Ninety-Five, which involves not only the safety of the family, but also the stability of my Tang Dynasty. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Pei Yan finally made a decision.

It seems that Pei Yan's remarks are bland, and he can be described as an old man seeking the country, but unfortunately, for a clear-eyed person, this is no less than showing his heart, that is, he abandoned Li Xian, the prince, and turned to the queen of Wu Meiniang. Of course, it is not that since then, Pei Yan has really surrendered to Wu Meiniang wholeheartedly, but in this matter, Pei Yan feels that this is the most in line with his own interests, as for Li Zhi's entrustment and instructions just now, it is no longer in Pei Yan's consideration, the so-called 'people go to tea and cool', it can be said to be the most obvious way to express it in officialdom.

"What Pei Aiqing said is good, what Imperial Doctor Qin said is waiting first, the imperial doctors are discussing it carefully to see if there is any better way to treat Your Majesty." Regarding Pei Yan's interest, Wu Meiniang looked quite proud, and her tone of voice was much better.

"The ministers receive orders." Many imperial doctors bowed down and replied.

In the middle of the night, Li Zhi finally stopped breathing, and he was in the sky.

Meteorologists once said that an occasional flutter of a butterfly's wings in the Amazon rainforest could cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later. This is a classic 'butterfly effect'.

And in this world, I don't know if it is because of the birth of Duan Jian, a little person who should not have come out, has led to a lot of changes, Xue Rengui, a generation of famous generals who should have died in March, but he survived until July, although his body occasionally had a small illness, but he was still alive and well, and the Jiangnan Tiandao rebellion, which had not happened in the first place, was in full swing for a while, and Li Zhi, who should have died in December, died more than half a year ahead of schedule.

It's just that I don't know if the power of Duan Jian's little butterfly flickering wings is too weak, or the inertia of history is too strong, and the repair ability is too strong, resulting in the fact that although this world has changed slightly, the trajectory of history is still the same.

In 683 AD, the second year of Yongchun of the Tang Dynasty, the first year of Hongdao, July 17

The third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi finally relapsed due to an old illness and died in the Zhenguan Hall of Luoyang, the eastern capital, at the age of fifty-six.

The crown prince Li Xian was embraced by the ministers the next day and ascended the throne as the emperor, and the queen of heaven Wu Meiniang, in accordance with the edict of Gaozong Li Zhi, listened to the government, and since then, the entire Tang Dynasty, or the whole world, has opened a new chapter.

............................

In the land south of the Yangtze River, the next battle of Yangzhou City, the 60,000 army of the Heavenly Taoist Sect was wiped out by the Tang Army in one fell swoop, and the general Li Minghe committed suicide and died.

August 13, there is only one day before the Midyear Festival, according to the customs of the past, at this time all over the country must have begun to hold various celebrations, but this year, the whole Tang Dynasty is strangely quiet, not only there is no laughter, even the once brilliant and dazzling colors have become plain white.

Within half a month, the news of the death of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi spread throughout all the places of the Tang Dynasty, east to the coast of the sea, north to the far north, is it a wild land, the west road Gaoling Desert, all the places where the Tang people lived, everyone wore filial piety, and every household mourned.

Even the tens of thousands of Tang troops located under the city of Suzhou put a layer of white cloth on the outside of their armor to show their mourning.

"Di Yushi, Duan Dudu, we have been in a stalemate under this Suzhou City for ten days, I don't know when to attack, now the enemy is weak and I am strong, those Heavenly Taoist rebels in the city are less than 10,000, and the people are scattered, just these days there are hundreds of soldiers who have secretly escaped, in this case, we only need a charge, we can capture Suzhou City, kill the bandits, but, why stop here?" In the barracks tent, a lieutenant asked.

After the first battle of Yangzhou City, the main army of Tiandao Sect was wiped out, and the Tang army from all over the country counterattacked the rebels of Tiandao Sect, after annihilating the rebels in their respective territories, according to Di Renjie's order, everyone gathered outside Suzhou City, wanting to completely annihilate Tiandao Sect in one go, therefore, in the past month, the army that came to Suzhou City was endless, and there were armies from all states and counties, more than thousands, less than 100 people, gathered together, it was as high as nearly 100,000 people, which looked extremely spectacular, This also led to the reason why the Heavenly Daoist rebels in the city kept fleeing.

'There are a thousand members of the family, and one person is in charge. Although there are many troops coming, they are still dominated by Di Renjie and Duan Jian, after all, Di Renjie is the Qincha of the imperial court, representing the imperial court, while Duan Jian is the highest official position, and the troops in his hands are also the most powerful.

The words of this captain have aroused the echo of many generals, if they did not attack Suzhou City before, it was because of insufficient troops or other reasons, but now, whether it is strength or morale, the Tang army has the upper hand and has not attacked, how can they be willing to work here to waste.

Looking at the noise of everyone, Di Renjie and Duan Jian were indifferent, at this time Duan Jian's injuries had improved greatly, and he was barely able to move slowly, sitting there, and after exchanging a helpless look with Di Renjie, both of them were a little crying and laughing.

In fact, if you want to take Suzhou City and annihilate the Heavenly Taoist Sect the most, the two of them must be at the top of the list, whether it is to settle this matter as soon as possible so that they can return to the imperial court and prepare for a new round of changes in the court, or Duan Jian, who hopes to quell the rebellion in Jiangnan as soon as possible and realize their plan, they are eager to take Suzhou City immediately.

But the facts do not allow them to act recklessly, although they can easily capture Suzhou City now, but they cannot guarantee the stability of Suzhou City, from Su Xiu'er's mouth, they know that Ding Mian is an extremely crazy person, if he knows that he is a dead end, the most likely thing he can do is to drag more people to die together, and even burn the entire Suzhou City together.

In this situation, how dare Di Renjie and Duan Jian act rashly, it would have been a great achievement to quell the Jiangnan Dao rebellion and exterminate the Heavenly Dao Sect, but if Suzhou, a thousand-year-old city, was destroyed because of this, they would have more than they gained.

"Extraordinary, you see how to deal with this matter, what the soldiers said is good, we have been working here all the time, and it is useless, we can't worry about the bandit going crazy for the first time, so we have to stagnate, do you see if you are thinking of other ways, it is better to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, the first emperor Bintian, the new emperor ascends the throne, if we can put down the rebellion as soon as possible, it can be regarded as an explanation to the first emperor and the new emperor." Di Renjie asked.

"This ..........."

Hearing Di Renjie's question, Duan Jian hesitated a little, after all, what Di Renjie said was indeed good, how could an army of 100,000 people spend a long time here doing nothing, not to mention anything else, just the granary consumed every day, that is an unimaginable number.

"Teacher, forgive me, this matter is too complicated, please let the students consider it, and then give the teacher an answer."

...........................

"Da Lang, have you heard, Duan Dudu seems to be secretly gathering people in the past two days."

In the camp belonging to Ma Cao, a group of people looked at Ma Cao with strange expressions on their faces.

"Convener, what does the convener do, is there any task that cannot be accomplished, and what does this have to do with us." Looking at the strange appearance of this group of people, Ma Cao asked suspiciously.

"I heard that Duan Dudu summoned people to quietly sneak into Suzhou City." The iron head who had just spoken spoke again.

"Sneak into the city, what's the matter, could it be that Dudu Duan has decided to attack Suzhou City, but, what does this have to do with us, what, can't you want to go." Ma Cao asked a little puzzled.

For Ma Cao, he really didn't pay attention to these things, you know, it seems that Ma Cao and the others are now wearing military uniforms, holding weapons, and mixing with the Tang Army, but he will not forget that they are not really Tang Jun, just a group of people who have made meritorious contributions, and now when they pacify the Tiandao Sect rebels, they are still useful, and after the Tiandao Sect is pacified, it is the time for them to settle accounts after they take a break, although with this period of time for meritorious service, as well as his understanding of Duan Jian, wait until the Tiandao rebels are pacified, The imperial court will definitely not punish them too severely, but this is not what Ma Cao wants, what he wants is not only to make meritorious contributions, but also to take this opportunity to make meritorious contributions and leave a name in history.

Therefore, for a period of time, he has been thinking about how to show loyalty to Duan Jian, hoping to be accepted by Duan Jian, as long as Duan Jian accepts them, with Duan Jian's ability, he will definitely give them a reasonable arrangement.

Looking at Ma Cao's indifferent look, Tietou said with hatred on his face, "Hinder, Dalang, why are you so stupid, what are you busy with during this time, we all know, but now such a good opportunity is placed in front of you, why didn't you see it, you don't want to think about it, Duan Dudu has always wanted to take Suzhou City safely, if we help him do it this time, do you think he will ignore our credit, after the fact, even if we don't say it, how can he treat us badly." ”

"Uh-huh........"

Hearing Tietou's words, Ma Cao was a spirit, and his brain was stunned, and he figured out many things in an instant.

Although Ma Cao has not read a book, he knows that the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, and now Duan Jian is like a person in the snow, if they can help him successfully take Suzhou City, it will be no less than sending charcoal in the snow, wouldn't it be much better if he didn't take the trouble to think about it.

.........................

"You have thought about it, you really decided to take a risk, in case of failure, I am afraid it will cause a strong counterattack from Ding Mian, that madman, and I want to regret it, but it will be too late." In the big tent, Su Xiu'er said softly while sorting out the album on the desk for Duan Jian.

Rubbing his swollen head, Duan Jian looked up at the beauty in front of him, and with the beautiful form of the beauty's gestures, Duan Jian's tense mood also relaxed a little.

"It's not a question of whether it's good or not, but now, hesitation is on the line, I have to send it, more than ten days, 100,000 soldiers have gathered here, and we can still maintain stability for the time being, but over time, there will always be unnecessary chaos, besides, just like the teacher said, we can't stop for fear, so not only will it not play a good role, maybe it will boost the arrogance of traitors and bring us unnecessary trouble." Duan Jian said.

After packing up the album on the desk, Su Xiu'er came behind Duan Jian again, kneaded his shoulders and backs for him, and said, "That being said, the longer the time, the more fully prepared, and the hope of victory will always increase a few points." ”

Enjoying the extremely comfortable kneading behind him, Duan Jian closed his eyes and said lightly, "Why don't you want to do this, if you don't want to do this at another time, it's nothing, just drag it out, but now it's different, the first emperor Bintian, the new emperor ascended the throne, everyone is worried, I don't know what will happen next, I hope to be able to win a battle at this time, so as to add a good impression to myself in front of the new emperor, at this time, you are procrastinating, that is against everyone, you don't want to become a mouse, Let's shout and fight! ”

"I don't know what people you are going to shoot to carry out the mission, maybe it's not the people you selected, although those people are the elite of the army, but they are all rough men who fight on the battlefield, let them fight hard against the enemy, they are good, but let them sneak into the city quietly and do that kind of secret thing, I'm afraid they won't be too used to it!" Su Xiuer said.

"I also know that this is what I have been worried about, although I have always wanted to let Le Buping train some people who can be flexible and changeable, but for various reasons, I have not started now, if there are a hundred people who are the same as Le Buping, or only one-tenth of his ability, those heads of Ding Mian dog thieves, they are not worried at all." Duan Jian said.

"It's a pity that Aunt Xia and the disciples of Xuanwu Hall are not here, otherwise, if Aunt Xia and the elite disciples of Xuanwu Hall take action, even if Ding Mian hides in the mouse hole, he can be caught." Su Xiu'er also said with some sighs.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone outside the big tent say, "Qi Yu Governor, Ma Zhuang asked to see the Governor, saying that he had something important to see." ”
