Chapter 120: I Hope So
(2nd Update!) ――
But just when Yang Xi's hand trembled crookedly and stretched out to the half-propped up, Yang Yuhuan's chest, which was becoming more and more exaggerated due to the position, was full, and an urgent voice came from outside the house: "Niangniang, Your Majesty is coming this way!"
This was reported by Xiao Yu, the personal maid next to Yang Yuhuan, outside.
As soon as he heard that it was Emperor Li Longji who was coming here, Yang Xi was taken aback, and quickly got up, unable to help but panic.
Just now, he was only interested in flirting with Yang Yuhuan, why did he forget about other things?
This is the imperial palace, it is Li Longji's territory, in the Xingqing Palace, Daming Palace, Taiji Palace, Li Longji can come and go at will, it doesn't matter if he walks sideways, Li Longji wants to come to Yang Yuhuan, and he doesn't need to report it, he can break in directly. He and Yang Yuhuan were playing ambiguously in the palace, and it was okay not to be discovered. If someone finds out and is caught by Li Longji, how ugly it will be to die.
He was already observing the surrounding situation, preparing to escape from another passage when it was too late, and he must not be caught by Li Longji in front of him, he was playing ambiguous with Yang Yuhuan. To Yang Xi's surprise, Yang Yuhuan was very calm, she got up immediately, covered the spring light leaking from her chest with her hand, and immediately pulled back the collar that Yang Xi turned behind her back with her other hand. After pulling the placket of his clothes, he immediately stood up, walked to the bronze mirror on the dresser, straightened the placket of his clothes in front of the bronze mirror, and smoothed the wrinkled parts of his body with extremely fast movements.
When tidying up his clothes, Yang Yuhuan also told Yang Xi not to panic, the emperor would not come here so soon.
Fortunately, he didn't do too much action, except for the dress on Yang Yuhuan's body, which was a little messy, the hairpin on his head was still neat, and after a while, Yang Yuhuan returned to his usual appearance. Seeing Yang Yuhuan's calm appearance, Yang Xi immediately doubted. Does Yang Yuhuan often have such an experience, so that he is very experienced? It's just that he didn't want to think about everything, Yang Yuhuan instructed him again, "Shilang, you were discussing with your aunt just now that you are going to Shaanxi County to lead the army again, and your majesty will come over in a while, you have to tell your majesty what you think, aunt is here, and he has some requests, and your majesty will definitely agree." ”
I was more and more surprised by Yang Yuhuan's calm and calm Yang Xi. He could only nod vigorously and agree: "Yes, aunt, Shiro is talking to my aunt about the front line, and I still have something to ask Your Majesty for a while." ”
After the two of them packed up and stopped, they had just said a few words when they heard people outside calling for His Majesty the Emperor to arrive.
With a series of footsteps, someone came into the hall, and Yang Yuhuan immediately beckoned Yang Xi to go out with her.
As soon as the two walked out of the inner room, they saw Li Longji accompanied by the personal eunuch Gao Lishi. Walked into the Jiaotai Palace.
"The concubine has seen Your Majesty!" Yang Yuhuan stepped forward and saluted.
Yang Xi also hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Li Longji, and also saluted Gao Lishi beside Li Longji.
saw Yang Xi beside Yang Yuhuan. A trace of doubt flashed in Li Longji's eyes.
Yang Xi found the doubt in Li Longji's eyes, but Yang Yuhuan didn't notice it, but she still stepped forward in time to explain: "Your Majesty, Shilang will return to Shaanxi County to lead the army in a few days." Today he came to visit the aunt of the concubine, and by the way, he wanted to talk about some family matters, and he also wanted the concubine to relay some things that he was embarrassed to mention to His Majesty. ”
Listen to Yang Yuhuan say this. Li Longji didn't care about it anymore, looked at Yang Xi and asked, "Shiro, what are you embarrassed to say to me, and you still need to tell your aunt?" ”
"Your Majesty is busy with political affairs every day, and the minister is embarrassed to come to disturb from time to time, and he doesn't dare to mention some things to His Majesty, so I want to ask my aunt to help me talk about it," Seeing Li Longji's inquiry, Yang Xi hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, when the minister asked His Majesty to buy more horses for the Tongguan Town Army, His Majesty did not agree, and the minister did not dare to mention it to His Majesty again, and wanted to ask his aunt to help talk about it, and he came to talk to his aunt today." But my aunt said that she was a woman, and it was inconvenient for her to tell Her Majesty about court affairs, so she still let the minister tell Her Majesty herself, and the minister just wanted to ask His Majesty for this matter, but she didn't expect that Your Majesty happened to come to the concubine Niangniang. ”
"That's the problem!" Li Longji stroked his beard and thought about it, and immediately replied to Yang Xi: "Shilang, it's not that I didn't promise not to buy war horses for the Tongguan Town Army, it's just that the number of war horses that the imperial court can collect is really insufficient, and I can't help it." If the imperial court can recruit enough war horses, I will definitely consider what is needed to replenish the army of Tongguan Town first. ”
"Since Your Majesty said so, the minister didn't dare to ask for it anymore, and only hoped that the imperial court would give priority to the Tongguan Town Army when it could collect enough war horses," Knowing that the "dangerous situation" just now had passed, Yang Xi also breathed a sigh of relief, and said again: "Your Majesty, the minister is just worried that the number of war horses in front is insufficient, so that the counterattack on Luoyang plan cannot be implemented." ”
After the imperial edict was issued a few days ago, when Yang Xi and Li Jue, who was appointed as the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, were summoned by Li Longji, he proposed to Li Longji that after defeating Sun Xiaozhe's army, which was still stagnant near Kipshi Fort, he would prepare to attack Luoyang and take back the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty from the rebels. Speaking of war horses today, he also took the opportunity to mention it again.
"Hmm!" Li Longji didn't say anything more after answering. At this time, Yang Yuhuan had already come over to hold his arm and sit down in the hall.
"Shiro, I hope to take Luoyang back as soon as possible to comfort the hearts of the people of the world!" After sitting down in the palace, Li Longji said with emotion: "The rebellion in An Lushan has lasted for more than a year, a large area of territory has been occupied by it, countless people have suffered misery, I am anxious, I hope that you can work with Yan Wang Jue, command the troops and horses, and after capturing Luoyang, work with other departments as soon as possible to completely quell the rebellion." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister will definitely live up to his mission, lead his soldiers to fight bravely, and will completely defeat the rebels, and return the people of the world to peace and tranquility, so as not to disappoint Your Majesty!"
Looking at Yang Xi, who was standing proudly, Li Longji's face showed appreciation, "Shiro, I hope to receive good news from you that the rebellion has been quelled as soon as possible, and I will definitely reward you at that time." ”
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will not fail in his mission!" Yang Xi answered the order loudly again, and took the opportunity to leave: "Your Majesty, the things that the minister wants to say today have been said, and there are still some military affairs to be disposed of, so I will retire." ”
Li Longji didn't hold back, waved his hand and said, "Okay, Shiro, you can go and get busy first!"
"Your Majesty, Niangniang, the minister retires!" Yang Xi bowed to Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan, who were dignified in the hall, and then turned around and strode away.
When saluting Yang Yuhuan, Yang Xi clearly saw the reluctance in this woman's eyes, and he also smiled secretly in his heart.
After leaving the palace, Yang Xi let out a long sigh. A gust of wind blew, and he felt the coolness on his back, and then he realized that he was sweating nervously just now. It's dangerous, it seems that cheating with other women is a high-risk activity, and if you are not careful, you will have a big accident, so try to avoid doing it in the future. Even if you do want to do it, you have to prepare in advance to avoid danger.
"Xi'er, my father doesn't want you to continue to lead the army to the battle, my father is afraid that if the battle is unfavorable when you continue to command the army and fight the rebels, then some people in the court who have prejudices against our Yang family will immediately jump out and accuse, asking Your Majesty to punish you, and Your Majesty may obey these people's wishes and punish you!" In the Wei State Mansion, in the study room used to discuss confidential matters, Yang Guozhong expressed his worries to Yang Xi.
Yang Xi understood Yang Guozhong's worries, but he didn't care too much, and immediately comforted: "Father, don't worry if you're not at all, Sun Xiaozhe's department has suffered heavy losses from the child's calculations several times, and it is completely not enough to fear, although Yin Ziqi's reinforcements will be added after the year, but the morale of the rebels has been greatly affected, and they are not more than us in numbers, and now there are more powerful general cannons and grenades equipped in front, how can they win?" The child is here, just to get more military merits. Father, you believe in the child, the child will definitely achieve more victories, and if he is rewarded by His Majesty, I believe that the father will also benefit from it. ”
According to the latest report, after Sun Xiaozhe, the chief general of the rebel army, was recalled to Luoyang by An Lushan and scolded him, he was magically not seriously responsible, and he was entrusted with the post of leading this group again. It's just that An Lushan stopped Yin Ziqi's military operation to attack Jianghuai, and ordered Yin Ziqi to lead the army to support Sun Xiaozhe, and defeat Yang Xi's troops first. Everyone knows that if Yang Xi defeats Sun Xiaozhe, he will immediately move his army east and attack Luoyang.
Today's Luoyang, there are less than 80,000 horses to defend it, if Sun Xiaozhe's troops fail in the battle, then Luoyang will be in danger, so An Lushan can only demolish the east wall to make up the west wall, and want to solve Yang Xi's department. To defeat Yang Xi's men and horses, the rebels will be well arranged next, one can immediately march west, capture Tongguan, and then take Chang'an, and the other men and horses can continue to attack Jianghuai.
Hearing Yang Xi say this, Yang Guozhong breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Xi's self-confidence made him worry a little less, but he was still worried: "Xi'er, my father believes that you can defeat Sun Xiaozhe, you have already won several victories against him, and his subordinates are already afraid of you." But my father is worried that you will be in trouble if you lead the army to attack Luoyang, if you fail to attack Luoyang, no matter how many military achievements you have made before, you may not be able to offset the responsibility. ”
"Father, it only took one night for the child to capture the 100,000 heavily guarded Shaanxi County, and the attack on Luoyang will definitely be after most of the rebels in other places are wiped out, then Luoyang City will gather more subordinate Wang Shi, An Lushan's remnants of the defeated generals, how can they resist? The imperial court also issued an edict to appease the rebels, when the rebels are about to go, there will be a lot of defectors, father, don't worry that Luoyang can't be captured!"
"I hope so!" The confidence between Yang Xi's words made Yang Guozhong feel a little better.
"Father, don't worry about anything, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's troops will definitely achieve results in attacking Fanyang, and Luoyang will definitely be recovered," Yang Xi became more and more arrogant, "The child will definitely capture An Lushan alive, sacrifice it to Zongmiao, and grow another face for his father!"
