When the emperor heard that Xing'er was talking about the important point, he suddenly stopped talking, raised his head, and saw Li Qizheng, the king of harmony, walking in, so he beckoned to him and said: "Qi'er, you have come at the right time, as the marshal of soldiers and horses appointed by me, I want to hear what good strategies you have for resisting the second large-scale invasion of foreign enemies?" ”

Li Qi saw that Lai Xing'er looked like a servant, and expected that he must have an urgent military situation to show the emperor, so he rushed back to Liangzhou in such a hurry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"My son has such ambitions, and I am very relieved." The emperor seemed to be infected by Li Qi's emotions, his eyes flashed, and he nodded in approval, "But this time, Tubo united with Tuyuhun, Turkic and other tribes, raising hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack, its momentum is menacing, but it should not be underestimated. Fang Xing'er came to Xing'er to convey Jing Yuncong's suggestion to me, and wanted me to transfer the main forces of Hebei and Hedong to quell the rebellion to the west to contain the enemy's situation, I don't know what you think? ”

Li Qi was overjoyed when he received the emperor's commendation, and replied with his fists clenched: "The remnants of the rebel army in Puer, under the siege of my army, are now in a situation of lingering, and it is no longer enough to worry. According to the opinion of the sons, the father can requisition Jingyuncong to return to Beijing to standby, and send an edict to Fu Yi, ordering him to pull out 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command and hand them over to the command of his sons, who will lead the army west out of Fenning and fight to the death with Fankou. If he could not recover Longyou and Hexi Prefectures in a battle, his sons would be willing to be punished by military law. ”

"Hmm." The emperor only replied lightly, did not say anything, turned to Lai Xing'er and asked, "King Mu invites the battle to go out, do you think you can have a chance of winning?" ”

Lai Xing'er didn't think about it, and blurted out: "According to the minister's opinion, the emperor can only transfer troops to the west, and there is no need to be handsome." ”

The emperor flashed a glance at Li Qi, and saw that his face was not good, so he opened his mouth to explain to him on behalf of Lai Xing'er: "You don't blame Lai Xing'er for being outspoken, Jingyun Cong has fought a hundred battles, and he still doesn't dare to take Tubo lightly for the second time, although you are a marshal, you have never led the army to the battle array, how can I easily entrust the Jiangshan Society to your hands?" I don't think you need to come and lead the army to the west, but there is another important errand that is very appropriate for you. A few months ago, I transferred Liu Wenxun back to Beijing to take up a post, because he was not on good terms with Fu Yi in the army, and the two often attacked each other, which was not conducive to the three armies. This time, Tubo united with the Five Route Army, intending to win the Central Plains, and I can't help but make arrangements for this. Now you are the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and the eastern capital is left behind, you can leave Beijing and rush to the eastern capital on the same day, and hand over the 20,000 soldiers and horses under Fu Yi's command to you to personally command, and protect the eastern capital for me, don't regenerate right and wrong with Fu Yi. ”

When Li Qi and Lai Xing'er heard the emperor's words, they still contained the intention of moving the capital to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and they couldn't help but feel anxious.

Li Qi didn't wait for Lai Xing'er to open his mouth, and took the lead in saying: "When this heavy army is pressing, the son only advises his father and the emperor not to move the capital again. The son entered the palace today, and he wanted to persuade his father to behead Lin Shu, a traitor who betrayed the lord for glory, and swore to go on an expedition to recover the lost territory in Western Xinjiang in one fell swoop. Although the sons have never been to the battle array, they also know that the anger can only be drummed up, and the truth cannot be leaked, even if they can't lead the army to the west, they also dare to ask the father to issue an edict to give the sons the responsibility of guarding the city, but so that the sons have a breath of air, and will never teach Chang'an to fall into the hands of Tubo again. ”

When Lai Xing'er heard that Li Qi persuaded the emperor to kill Lin Shu and come to sacrifice the flag to go on the expedition, he was anxious, and without waiting for Li Qi to finish speaking, he clenched his fists and pleaded with the emperor: "When the minister was in Liangzhou, he was edicted by His Majesty to appoint the minister as the capital of the Divine Crane. The minister returned to Beijing this time, and he did not make it clear to His Majesty, the minister was in Liangzhou for several months, gathered the remnants of the crane, recruited the righteous soldiers of Western Xinjiang, and had formed an army of more than 4,000 people. The minister risked his life to implore His Majesty, and ordered the minister to lead 4,000 strong men to serve as the vanguard of the anti-Tibetan resistance, and he would not let Tubo go any further. ”

In front of the emperor, one of them wanted to kill Lin Shu to sacrifice the flag, and the other wanted to lead the army to go to battle, exchanging his own military exploits for Lin Shu's life. The emperor was confused by them for a while, and asked Laixing'er with a pair of eyes: "According to the piece you brought back with the Flying Harrier Transmission Book before, it is clear that you used the captured Tubo master in exchange for the Tubo people to release the forest and trees back to the court. ”

Li Qi hurriedly interjected: "Father doesn't know anything. When Lai Xing'er was ordered to go to Liangzhou, it was his son who summoned him into the mansion and told him to try to save Lin Shu back to Chang'an and hand it over to his father. Now, although Lai Xing'er does not live up to the trust of his sons, he does not distinguish between right and wrong, loyalty and treachery, and openly shouts and pleads for the traitor Lin Shu, which is really a crime, and asks his father to issue an edict to cure Lai Xing'er for the crime of collaborating with the enemy. ”

Lai Xing'er smiled angrily, turned his face and asked Li Qi coldly: "A few months ago, when I was called by the prince and went to the mansion to receive the order, why did I only hear the prince talk about it, since I was a child, I was taught by Lin Shu, and the teacher's kindness was unforgettable, so I Yin Yin asked me to try to save Lin Shu to return to the dynasty when I went to Liangzhou on an errand?" ”

Li Qi saw that Lai Xing'er actually dared to expose his old background in front of the emperor, and he was angry for a while, and he was about to give Lai Xing'er a slap in the face, but Lai Xing'er dodged lightly, almost used too much force, and fell forward to the ground, so he shouted angrily: "The vertical son is rude, and the king will never give up with you." ”

Seeing that Li Qi dared to openly beat people in front of him, the emperor shouted: "Presumptuous." He turned around and sat down in front of the throne, and said to Lai Xing'er in a deep voice: "Lin Shu's rebellion is obvious, and there is no forgiveness for it. At the beginning, no matter what the king of Mu said, you tried to save him and return to the court, it was to make the court blame him and give the world justice as a courtier. My aunt thinks that you have worked errands, and will not pursue your intercession for the traitor for the time being, but will retire and rest for the time being, and listen to my will at any time. ”

Lai Xing'er never expected that he had tried his best to wait for Lin Shu to return to Chang'an, but it brought him death. I couldn't help myself for a while, so I ignored the emperor's stern warnings, knelt down, kowtowed to the emperor again and again, and pleaded again: "The minister used to go to Tibet with Lord Lin in the past, and he knew that Lord Lin was loyal to the emperor. Even if he agreed to stay in the Tibetan court as an official, it was only in exchange for the rest of the Tibetan delegation to return to Chang'an, and to report to the imperial court the urgent military situation that Tubo was about to send troops to invade our western Xinjiang, which was really an expedient measure. Now that the emperor wants to kill Lord Lin, wouldn't it make the relatives painful and the enemies happy? If the emperor finds out that Lord Lin has the real evidence of betraying the country and seeking glory, Lai Xing'er is willing to accompany Lord Lin to Huangquan. (To be continued.) )
