(1st Update)

Luoyang, the autumn rain continues. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Luoyang City, which is prosperous day after day, can vaguely see the shadow of Zhenguan Chang'an, even if the drizzle and cool breeze have not stopped, the BMW carved cars in the streets and alleys are also endless, not only the Han people walking on the streets, but also the alien races who decorate the skin color different from the Central Plains, the Khitan people in the East Market are leaning on the horse shed, the eyes of the people are shining in the shops to choose valuable things, the orchids with plump breasts and fat buttocks are holding the small wine jar, with the twin peaks that are squeezed more majestic and the seductive smile, charming to attract pedestrians in front of the wine shop.

The waist of the Tang people is straight, even the most ordinary people, may not have more than ten wealth at home, walking on the street will not bow their eyebrows to the officials, wearing official uniforms of the officials walk the streets and alleys, most of the people encountered along the way are familiar, they can't help but greet and laugh a few words, never face the uncle and never look at anyone as if they owe him money, when they meet the helpless children on the street, they will take the initiative to squat down in front of the children, show a most warm and cordial smile, pick up the children and help them go home.

The official temples of the various ministries in the imperial city were as silent as a rock in the rain, the courtyard and the courtyard were in order, the officials of all sizes who came in and out were agile, and there was no haze in their eyes that they were planning for personal gain all day long.

The owner of this prosperous and majestic city, the emperor who single-handedly created the image of the Tang Dynasty, is ending a day's heavy affairs at this time, under the service of the personal eunuch palace maid, dragging the tired body to step on the royal horse and slowly march to the harem, along the way the emperor is holding his fingers and closing his eyes to recuperate, and the slight morbidity on his face makes the eunuch extremely worried.

There are many palaces in the harem, and the most lively ones are only two places in ordinary times, one is the residence of Concubine Cao, and the other is the palace of Concubine Shu, Cao, who got a message from the eunuch, came to the gate of the courtyard early, and when the emperor Li Siyuan's royal palace arrived, he was busy personally holding an umbrella to welcome Li Siyuan into the palace, and the ceremony was tacitly omitted.

"It's been raining for days recently, it seems to have no end, if Your Majesty feels tired, let the prime ministers share more government affairs, and it's okay to relax occasionally, after all, your body is important." Cao Shi helped Li Siyuan, who coughed twice, to sit down on the collapse, his eyes were full of a virtuous wife's love and worry for her husband, "Yesterday, I followed Jing's letter, saying that the autumn rain is not good for your body, and you have a lot of old injuries in your life, and you are most prone to attacks at this time, so I ask my concubine to take care of your body more." ”

Li Siyuan, who was leaning on the sitting, took Cao's hand, although his face was full of exhaustion, he showed a gentle smile when he heard the words, "He also said something to me in the fold, the Jianghuai war is tight, and he still has this mind." ”

"You don't know your son's temperament, when he went out on expeditions in previous years, he was less worried about you as a father." When he said this, Cao's face had a mother's unique pride color, although the emperor didn't have to call himself in private from time to time, but the concubine who dared to talk to Li Siyuan like an ordinary family, and there was only Cao in the palace, "How is the Jianghuai war?" ”

"It's going fast, and it doesn't take long to get the big picture down." Li Siyuan asked Cao to open the window, the cold wind blowing in was a little frustrating, but it made people feel refreshed, and Cao quickly closed the window again.

The two talked for a while, and somehow Cao Shi talked about Li Congjing's young age and the white hair on his head, and he couldn't help crying, Li Siyuan sighed and asked Cao, "Do you blame me?" ”

Cao shook his head tearfully.

Li Siyuan smiled with satisfaction, and looked out the window again, as if the closed window had not blocked his vision, "I also know that he is suffering, so over the years, he has been arranging political affairs quickly, just to share more for him." Rectifying the rule of officials, leveling the feudal towns, and replacing the officials, there is nothing good to do, and it is impossible that no one will stand up and resist, and it is a safe policy to slowly try it, but I have never listened to his advice, and insisted on completing these things within three or five years, but the result was that the courtiers resisted, and the six departments were almost paralyzed. ”

"But I have to do this, whether it is a court official, or a local feudal town, most of those who are in power have been in contact with me in the early years, I also know a little about their temperament, and I have a good deal to deal with, and many of them are my former subordinates, or have been promoted by me, when I was on the throne, they jumped out to make trouble, I will start to solve it, it is easier to suppress them, even if it is to raid the family and exterminate the clan, others dare not say much."

"But from the Jing is different, if the rectification of the officials, the leveling of the feudal towns, the removal of officials and other things are left to him, in the future to treat my old and tribulations, he will inevitably be tied up, can have a high position to make trouble, are not good with the same generation, if they join forces, without me on the throne, they can use my name to pull the tiger skin as a banner, then the trouble is not small."

"Such a problem, you think I can leave it to Congjing? Of course not. I personally ordered the investigation of my old past, and I personally raided my family and exterminated my clan, and I can deal with them without hesitation if they complain or act against me. ”

"The troubles that should be solved have been solved, the people who should be investigated have been investigated, the world will be clean, the Tang Dynasty will be revived, there is still too long way to go, I want to give Congjing a road, and leave him a clean country, so that he can show his strength in the future...... As a father, for the benefit of my children, that's what I should do......"

Li Siyuan's voice gradually became quieter, and he didn't know when he stopped, he leaned back on the couch and fell asleep.

Cao Shi had already burst into tears, but she desperately endured it without crying, until Li Siyuan fell asleep, her wrinkled hands gently caressed Li Siyuan's face, and whispered: "You father and son, what do you concubines say...... It's too bitter. Then she smiled again, "There are blessings too." ”

That day and night, the autumn rain was heavy.

Li Siyuan suddenly had a high fever.

In the following two days, his condition did not improve, but worsened, so that he could not stay at all.

The imperial doctors tried their best, but they couldn't let Li Siyuan's body recover.

After tossing and turning for two days, the courtiers were terrified.

The next day, Li Siyuan was a little clear, and dictated an edict, ordering 800 li to be sent to Chuzhou urgently.

Edict: Summoning the King of Qin to return to the dynasty immediately!

......

Chuzhou.

Before it was dark, Feng Dao, who had already said goodbye and left, went and returned, and he was chased back by Li Congjing. At the same time, Wang Pu, Sang Weihan, Wei Dao and others from Chuzhou were also called.

Li Congjing explained the news that he needed to return to the court immediately, and then began to make some arrangements for Jianghuai affairs, and the civil affairs were naturally handed over to Feng Dao to preside, and Wang Pu helped him, Feng Dao should also go back, but Li Congjing left Jianghuai, and he needed an important minister to sit here, and Feng Dao's qualifications and weight made him the best choice.

Civil affairs are not difficult to handle, and the key is still military. After Li Congjing returned to the court, who would preside over the Jianghuai War became the most important issue at present. In this regard, Feng Dao proposed to let Li Congke temporarily take command, but as soon as the words came out, he was vetoed by Li Congjing.

Li Congjing is not disbelieving in Li Congke's loyalty, but he does not trust Li Congke's ability, "There is no doubt that the general of King Lu is undoubted, but he wants to command the three armies to dispatch the overall situation, but he is not enough, Jianghuai's Huainan army is indeed not much of a threat, but although Wang Hui is defeated and retreats to Jiangnan, his troops and horses still have some combat power, Yangzhou, Shouchun has not been conquered, Huainan is bound to be a battle of trapped beasts, this Jianghuai land Huainan has been operating for a long time, it is good that nothing goes wrong, once it goes wrong, it is difficult to recover." ”

Since he thinks that Li Congke is difficult to take on the big job, Li Congjing has to come up with a candidate.

It's not difficult to find this candidate, he just can't leave.

At noon on the same day, Li Congjing set out from Chuzhou and took the guards to the north.

Mo Li, who received the news, left Shouchun one step earlier and went to Zhengyang to wait for Li Congjing, who would cross Huaishui from here.

The two met on the side of the road.

"The overall situation of the battle of Jianghuai has been decided, and the only ones left are Shouchun and Yangzhou, but if these two places are not overcome, they must guard against the counteroffensive of Huainan." There is a drizzle in the sky, there is a breeze on the ground, Li Congjing is wearing a bright light armor, Mo Li is dressed in a white robe, and the road is Huaishui, "after this battle, Huainan will launch a large-scale counterattack in the short term, which is already powerless, and what we must guard against is that Huainan will send elite landing, infiltrate deep into the Jianghuai, and disrupt the rear of our army. With Yangzhou, Shouchun is difficult to support alone, and it is slightly easier. ”

After listening to Li Congjing's words, Mo Li bowed slightly, "Jianghuai is half in the bag, it will inevitably affect the battle situation in Chudi, as long as Jianghuai's results can be maintained, the king of Chu will be able to find an opportunity to counterattack. ”

Li Congjing sighed and encouraged: "The Jianghuai war will be handed over to Mo Ge'er, and the military order will be issued by the General Staff Office, even if King Lu will be dissatisfied, he will also know the severity, I transferred Meng Ping to the south, you and others will work together, I will wait for good news in Luoyang." ”

On the occasion of parting, Mo Li bowed deeply, and it was inconvenient for him to say much about Luoyang, everything was silent.

Li crossed the river from Jing.

Leaving Mo Li in Jianghuai to preside over the overall situation, with the help of Wang Pu and others, Li Congjing was not worried.

Only he knew that his expectations of Mo Li were no better than Meng Ping's. For the Tang Dynasty to conquer the world, that is the battlefield of Mo Shenji, and at the moment, it is just a crucial first step.

......

Chudi, Langzhou.

When Guo Wei arrived in Langzhou, he was accompanied by 5,000 soldiers and horses led by Meng San. Instead of arriving in no particular order, there were also 10,000 palace troops under Li Congzhang's headquarters from Liangchuan and the east of the river.

Seeing that Langzhou had regained some of his strong momentum, Li Congrong felt a little relieved, but only slightly.

Because he also learned the news that Li Siyuan was seriously ill, but he did not receive Li Siyuan's edict to let him return to Luoyang.

Looking north, Li Congrong muttered repeatedly: "Father, brother, ......"
