Zheng Guanyin reminded the old things, every sentence was heartfelt, and his intentions were sinister, and Li Shimin's heart was bleeding.

However, he didn't do anything, just left Changle Gate with a pale face, but the old eunuch heard it clearly, and there were bursts of mournful screams coming from inside.

His Majesty Li Er did not make any orders, and the old eunuch naturally did not dare to make his own opinions, but he did not dare to take it lightly, so he had to order the soldiers of Yu Linwei to strictly guard this place and wait for His Majesty's orders.

But before the guards could stand at their posts, a change occurred, and a fire suddenly broke out in Changle Gate, and Zheng Guanyin set himself on fire.

His Majesty Li Er had already gone to Chengqing Hall at this time, and he didn't have the heart to care about these things at all, but the old eunuch didn't dare to take it lightly, this fire still has to be saved, and it's hard to say whether it can be saved, but this behavior must be done.

In any case, Zheng Guanyin was the crown princess of the year, His Majesty's imperial sister-in-law, if she was burned to death in the palace, there would be rumors. At this time, when Li You, the king of Qi, rebelled, and the world was in turmoil, it was better not to have such a situation.

It's just that the fire is being put out here, and there is news over there that Concubine Yin has taken the wine......

The old eunuch, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't sit still, and was a little flustered in his heart.

……

While the guards in the palace were busy, Emperor Li Shimin had already returned to the Chengqing Palace, no matter how much unhappiness and resentment he had in his heart, he had to calm down now.

A state-owned rebellion is the most dangerous time and must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Especially since this rebel is still his own son, he can't slack off.

In the Chengqing Palace, when the prime ministers and dignitaries of the dynasty have been waiting for a long time, the rebellion and departure is a first-class major event of the feudal dynasty, which can be described as a hundred thousand urgent. Therefore, the ministers were somewhat anxious, and they were quite uncalm when they stood in the Chengqing Palace. But when they arrived, they found that the emperor was not there, and they were dried for a long time.

This is ......

The world belongs to your Li family, can't you not be in a hurry just because it is your son who rebelled? In this situation, why is the emperor not in a hurry...... The minister is anxious.

What is this called?

Although everyone muttered a little in their hearts, no one dared to declare it, maybe His Majesty the Emperor had something to delay? Or are you angry?

It's entirely possible. The biological son rebelled, and the father and son turned against each other, this kind of human tragedy, the heartache of being a father is completely reasonable.

However, all the ministers were sure that His Majesty the Emperor should not be hindered by these matters in this critical situation. The rebel son is disobedient and no wonder others, why be sad, why pity?

The emperor is the world, and he must not be rash because of this. Anyway, in addition to Li You, the king of Qi, the emperor also has so many excellent sons. Li You is not the best among the princes, so why bother so much?

However, some people are very sympathetic to His Majesty Li Er, and the issue of royal harmony after the Xuanwumen Revolution has been criticized and concerned, and Li Shimin has been working hard to clear his name over the years. It's a pity that just when he was about to succeed, Li You suddenly came to such a play, following the murder of his brother and his brother. There is also a human tragedy of cannibalism between father and son.

In this way, there are more excuses to be attacked by people all over the world. Some people will even say that Li You's rebellion is retribution.

The so-called retribution naturally refers to the old things in Xuanwumen, which is the biggest stain in Li Shimin's life, and it can't be covered up no matter what. In addition, the special background of Concubine Yin, the mother of Li You, the king of Qi, is linked together, and it is indeed easy to become an excuse for others to attack.

Therefore, many ministers also felt worried and sympathetic for His Majesty the Emperor. At the same time, I feel that the current situation is too difficult.

What should we do?

It's a nuisance, but of course, it might be a good thing for some people. All in all, it may not be a ghost in each case, but it is true that everyone has their own intentions.

Just when everyone's thoughts were wandering. His Majesty Li Er finally came belatedly.

"See Your Majesty!"

"No need to be polite." Li Shimin waved his hand, the expression on his gloomy face relaxed slightly, and said softly: "I have a little delay, so you have to wait for a long time......

The emperor has something to delay, who dares to say anything? Can anyone say anything...... However, this so-called thing may also be related to the rebellion, maybe the emperor will go to the backyard to see Concubine Yin!

Everyone is clearly sure that the fate of Concubine Yin will not be good, and her son's rebellion against her status and even her life is in jeopardy. Even if the emperor can tolerate her, he is afraid that she herself will live without a word.

Alas, what a human tragedy!

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "What is the current situation? Let's talk about it! ”

"Your Majesty, King Qi ......"

As soon as a minister spoke, Li Shimin said angrily: "What King Qi, what qualifications does that rebellious son have as my prince of the Tang Dynasty?" Now he is the anti-thief Li You. ”

"Yes, the anti-thief Li You raised troops in Qizhou, and there were many bandits in the nearby mountains and wilderness...... In addition, He Zhaolin, the assassin of Laizhou, has already attached himself to Li You, and is reorganizing his troops and horses to the west......"

"Well, what about the other states and counties in the land of Qilu?"

"Qingzhou and other places are still stable, according to the latest news, Xu Xiaode, the assassin of Qizhou, went to persuade in time, it is said that Huaiyang Marquis Xie Yi followed His Majesty's ......will," Prime Minister Fang Xuanling described the current situation in a deep voice.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "That's true, Xie Yi went to Qizhou at my behest, and I allowed him to act cheaply. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was still a slight commotion in the Chengqing Palace, although many people already knew the news that Xie Yi went to Qizhou. But when I heard the emperor admit it himself, especially Xie Yi, who still had the right to act cheaply, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

In addition to lamenting that Xie Yi had won the emperor's trust, more people realized that His Majesty the Emperor had already noticed the abnormality of Qizhou, but since this was the case, why did King Qi still rebel? What happened to Qizhou, didn't Huaiyang Hou Xie Yi do something?

However, listening to His Majesty the Emperor's tone, it seems that there is no resentment or even disappointment towards Xie Yi, it seems that things are more complicated, no wonder Xie Yi.

The eldest grandson Wuji also said a fair word: "Xie Yi's reaction is quite fast, and he has prevented several states and counties around Qizhou from joining the rebels, and mobilized troops and horses to meet the rebellion, but at present, many people have doubts about his identity and hesitate, and Xie Yi's power and responsibility seem to be limited......"

"That being the case. Then I will help him correct his name, and let Xie Yi be the same age as the deposed envoy of Henan Province Qilu soldiers and horses, and quell the rebellion......"

Li Shimin had a completely arbitrary attitude, and had no intention of consulting with the ministers at all, and said directly: "Publish the edict!" ”

Everyone was shocked, His Majesty the Emperor was really courageous. At the same time, he also sighed Xie Yi's luck. Although he had previously served as the deputy envoy of Hedong Province, it was when he accompanied the King of Jin, and it was more nominal.

But this time is different, the identity of this deposed envoy is real, and he can directly transfer troops and generals to exert real power. And counterinsurgency is different from others, as long as it is in a rebel area, as long as it is related to the pacification of the rebellion, and so on. The power is extraordinary.

And it is a great responsibility, if Xie Yi successfully completes it, it will be indispensable to return to success in the future, but I am afraid that this marquis will change again. Although he is young, he may not be able to be promoted to the prince of the country, but the prince of the county should be fine.

It's really envious, at a young age, in his twenties, he has already won such a high knighthood by virtue of his talent and merit. What the future holds......

Thinking about his own sons and nephews of the same age, the ministers of the court can't help but feel a little embarrassed in their hearts. At the same time, he was also quite envious of Xie Yi's luck, how could these good things be so easy for Xie Yi to encounter?

But then again, if you don't have the ability, what can you do even if you have the opportunity? Just imagine the surface of Xie Yi on the Heshuo grassland last year, and to this day, the ministers are not sure that they can have the ability to settle Ashina Simo......

The emperor made an order, and Prime Minister Fang Xuanling did not object. The text of the Chinese book Shilang Cen also responded. He is very appreciative of Xie Yi's progress now, especially Xie Yi's return to Chenzhou this time, and he has interacted with the Jiangnan Shi clan, who have been silent for many years, and now there are signs of recovery and rise.

So very good, very good......

Li Shimin asked in a deep voice: "Except for the reckless thieves." What else is happening in Shandong? ”

Other changes? This word is used very cleverly, Li Shimin did not ask very clearly, but everyone tacitly understands what His Majesty the Emperor is referring to.

Shandong family, the emperor refers to them.

That place in Qizhou is surrounded by Shandong families, and the things that happened in the past are basically related to the Shandong Shi clan, if there are their figures behind the rebellion of Li You, the king of Qi, the situation will be very bad.

It's not that bad, though......

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, rest assured, there is no abnormal ...... in Shandong."

Maybe it was because Li You, the king of Qi, raised his troops too suddenly, and the Shandong family was unprepared, or the Shandong family was not optimistic about Li You, or was still in a wait-and-see state. At least so far, there is no obvious sign of support for Li You, of course, it cannot be ruled out that there is something secretly going on now, but the imperial court has not noticed it.

Li Shimin nodded lightly, what he was most worried about was this problem, what he was most afraid of was the Shandong family, as long as these people did not participate, there would be no problem. In the more than ten years since they ascended the throne, these people have been dissatisfied with themselves, and there are many oppositional moves, which are to some extent the most unstable factor in Datang.

However, now it seems that he has made two eastern tours, and Li Ji's town guard in Hedong has played a certain deterrent role, and so far it is still peaceful. If they still don't participate in Li You's rebellion this time, it should be much easier to deal with in the future......

"Your Majesty, it's just that the Marquis of Huaiyang is judging in Qizhou alone, and he is only afraid of being ......weak," Prime Minister Fang Xuanling reminded in a deep voice, obviously a little worried about the current situation, at least the absolute counterinsurgency is not enough.

Regarding this question, Xiao Yu, Cen Wenwen and others also agreed, and the eldest grandson Wuji also nodded lightly, and the ministers immediately reached a consensus.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said: "That's true, Xie Yi doesn't have serious troops in his hands, even if he is transferred from the surrounding states and counties, it is difficult to rectify and immediately exert his combat power."

In this way, a decree was sent to Songzhou to Li Ke, asking him to mobilize Songzhou soldiers and horses to support Xie Yi, but the front-line battle was commanded by Xie Yi. ”

Everyone's hearts suddenly moved, and the Chengqing Hall was full of first-class people in the Tang Dynasty, and they suddenly realized that the emperor's arrangement was of great significance.

Songzhou is not very far from Qizhou, and there are a lot of soldiers and horses stationed there, from a military point of view, it is most reasonable to transfer to judge. This is a complete set of soldiers and horses, and well-trained, Wu Wang Li Ke has been training there for a lot of time, I believe that he can deal with the rabble in Qizhou.

That's right, it's a rabble, even if Li You can gather the soldiers and horses of all the states and counties in the region to unite together, it's just a rabble.

The Tang monarchs and ministers didn't take them seriously at all, and they never thought that they could pose any threat to the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and it would be a big joke if they could succeed.

Now all he fears is that the rebellion will affect stability, cause the people to live in misery, or cause unnecessary turmoil and trouble, so he must be put down as soon as possible.

It was most appropriate to mobilize the soldiers and horses of Songzhou, but the emperor Li Shimin specially emphasized that Li Ke, the king of Wu, should lead the troops, but the command of the front line was handed over to Xie Yi, the Marquis of Huaiyang, and Li Ke, the king of Wu, was not allowed to lead the troops and horses.

This arrangement is very intriguing, it is obviously arranged by the emperor, and it is not necessarily that Xie Yi is more suitable for leading troops than Li Ke, the king of Wu. Xie Yi's reputation over the years is mainly for talents and work ability, but his talent in the military field is very limited, but Li Ke, the king of Wu, is known for his heroic martial arts, and his military talent is known all over the world.

When Xue Yantuo threatened Chang'an in the south last year, it was Li Ke, the king of Wu, who came to the aid with troops from Anzhou, although there was no war in the end, but the ability of the king of Wu to lead the troops is obvious to all. This time there was chaos in Qizhou, and it must be easy for Li Ke to transfer troops to quell the rebellion, it should be no problem.

However, the emperor deliberately ignored this matter, ignored the military talent of Li Ke, the king of Wu, and did not let him lead the troops, but handed over the military power to Xie Yi, whose military talent was not clear.

Why is that?

The Tang Dynasty spirits present all grasped it to varying degrees, His Majesty the Emperor really loves his son, who does he love?

Love Qi King Li You? It seems to have this meaning, if Li Ke goes into battle, Li You is afraid that he will lose very quickly and die miserably. In Xie Yi, the situation may not be so miserable, but the final result will not change, and the emperor will not want Li You, the head of the rebellion, to be safe and sound......

So this beloved son is obviously not aimed at Li You, what he really loves is Li Ke, if Li Ke leads the troops, although he will have merit after success.

But who are the rebels? It was Li You, his own brother Li Ke, and there was nothing wrong with quelling the rebellion, but it would inevitably fall into the fact that he had defeated or even killed his own brother.

In the future, Li Ke will have to bear such an infamy that is not infamy, and he will have to be attacked by others, obviously Li Shimin does not want this.

Why does the emperor love his son so much? (To be continued.) )
