After Li Zhi finished speaking, Li Shimin was slightly distracted, in the end, it was father and son, even if Li You rebelled and betrayed, he still gave up this blood and family relationship.

Li Shimin also has every reason to believe that the reason why Li You rebelled must have been bewitched by others. Of course, he has to pay the price for the stupidity of the position, according to the law of the country, it is indeed a heinous and unforgivable sin.

But as a father, he has to kill his own son with his own hands......

It is probably the change in Xuanwumen that left too deep a shadow on Li Shimin, yes, Li Shimin is more sensitive in terms of family affection......

He was more sensitive to the attitudes of his other sons, Li Chengqian characterized Li You as a rebel from the beginning, and Li Tai was not so indifferent, but his attitude was not much better. Obviously, in their hearts, they have regarded Li You as a rebel, and they have drawn a clear line, deliberately ignoring the fact that they are brothers to each other.

Only Li Zhi, the king of Jin, is an exception, and only this son still calls Li You the fifth brother, and even pleads for him......

This move is commendable!

Li Zhi doesn't understand the law of the country? He should understand, and he still says this, which shows that he has a brother in his heart, even if this brother made a big mistake and betrayed his father.

Li Zhi still hopes that his father can forgive his brother to a certain extent, and this perspective is completely from the perspective of family affairs, while the other princes are completely only talking about state affairs.

In the court, Li Shimin has listened to too many arguments about the national law and discipline, and this is a family banquet, and he wants to enjoy the family affection and family happiness that are already a little broken.

The question just now, to a certain extent, also wanted to see the true temperament of the sons, and the result seemed to be obvious, Li Zhi was benevolent and thoughtful!

Of course, maybe other young princes also had this idea, but they didn't dare to say it, and the lack of courage was also the difference.

But other older princes. As the eldest brother, Li Chengqian and the smartest Li Tai are so indifferent......

Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, Li You's rebellion sounded the alarm for him, and the royal family was not so harmonious.

When you are still alive, someone rebels and dies? The princes are all excellent, in case ......

As the successful person of the Xuanwumen Change, Li Shimin can completely speculate on the hearts of the princes. His Majesty Li Er relied on killing his brother and killing his brother, and when it was his turn as an emperor and a father, he did not want the tragedy to happen again, but hoped that his sons could love each other and live in harmony.

But judging by today's moves. There are few princes who are truly benevolent and friendly brothers, and seeing this scene, Li Shimin suddenly felt a little sad. But fortunately, there is another one, in vain I have loved and taught for so many years, the pheasant slave is really a good boy, and it is a little more praise in Li Shimin's eyes when he looks at Li Zhi.

But this slightly strange gaze was clearly captured by Li Tai, and he was extremely smart, and he came back to his senses with a slight groan, and suddenly felt a little annoyed in his heart. Why didn't I think of this before, and I actually ignored the most important thing of this family banquet.

The opportunity has been missed. Especially if he opened his mouth before, if he changes his mouth now, then his father will definitely think that he is too scheming. So it's too late to change your tune, and the gains outweigh the losses. I can only watch my brother who is growing up snatch this great opportunity.

Is the young Li Zhi really simple-minded? At least Li Tai didn't think so, if he was only slightly wary of this younger brother before. Now, the level of vigilance has risen much, much.

Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, which is not bad at all. Li Tai sighed with emotion, thinking of an old man who was still in Qizhou......

……

Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty and the most well-informed place in the entire Tang Dynasty. In addition to the official channels of the imperial court. All the powerful families also have their own channels for transmitting information, the difference is only in the speed at which the message spreads.

The speed of the Xie family should be in the forefront, although the Xie family has only risen for a few years, and it cannot be compared with the Guanlong nobles who have hundreds of years of foundation. But the Xie family has a rapidly expanding commercial chain, and in the process, Xie Yi cleverly embeds the espionage model of later generations.

The Xie family's shops in each area are message collection stations and transmission stations, and there are people who transmit messages on each trade route, which can ensure that information from all over the country is continuously and quickly sent to Chang'an.

Usually, it mainly conveys commercial information, such as the price of food in a certain place has skyrocketed, and a certain place continues to transport certain goods, etc. But if it is related to the major affairs of the Hou Mansion, especially when it is related to the safety of the Hou Lord, the meaning is completely different.

The Xie family now has an unwritten rule that as long as there is a place where the family members are, there must be a special channel for messaging. Especially where Hou Ye Xie Yi is located, it was Chenzhou before, and now it is Qizhou, and in addition to the caravan on the surface, there are several hidden message transmission channels between Chang'an and Chang'an.

So as to ensure that Hou Ye's news, needs and orders can be delivered in a timely manner. In particular, it was transmitted back to the Gongchuan villa outside Chang'an City in time and handed over to Mrs. Zheng.

The Xie family's communication speed is not only fast, but also the confidentiality is particularly high, because others can't understand it at all, and there is no possibility of leaking secrets at all.

Mrs. Zheng even joked and directly made Hou Ye's secret letter public, but it turned out that there were only some inexplicable symbols on it, without a single word. They understood that this was supposed to be a secret letter, but they didn't understand how the message was communicated.

Even the big leader of Xue Yan, even Mr. Kan Ling can't understand it, so it can be seen that it must be the secret of the Xie family, and in the future, only the two Xiaolangjun can inherit and learn.

This time, at the same time that the palace received the Qizhou emergency military report, the Gongchuan Villa also received Xie Yi's secret letter, and there were still only a few symbols that others did not recognize. After Kan Ling received it, he sent it directly to Zheng Liwan, and after Mrs. Zheng went upstairs, the secret letter when she came back had been transformed into a homely letter.

The content is mainly to inform that there is a rebellion in Qizhou, and it needs to be delayed to quell the rebellion, but it is safe and worry-free. Then he told his wife and children to take care of themselves and wait for him to return to Chang'an. Of course, at the end of the letter, there was a sentence added about marrying Xu Hui in Qizhou.

Several ladies read the letter one by one, and understood their lovesickness a little, in addition to worrying about Xie Yi's safety, they also had to envy this new but unmet Mrs. Xu.

Wu Meiniang sighed: "As Sister Xijun expected, Xu Niangzi did not escape San Lang's palm after all......"

"Alas, you know who San Lang is, where can parry his rhetoric and methods?" Du Xijun chuckled: "But don't worry, the's appearance is not ......."

"yes. San Lang naturally can't be wrong. ”

"Well, I'm so envious of that Sister Xu......" Wu Meiniang looked at the eastern sky, and couldn't help but be stunned.

……

Dongping County of Yunzhou is an important city to the west of Qizhou, and it is also the only way to Chang'an.

After withdrawing from Qizhou, Xie Yi came here and took over the soldiers and horses of Yunzhou with the holy decree of acting cheaply, and then the soldiers and horses from nearby Zizhou, Puzhou and other places came to help after receiving the imperial edict.

Xie Yi was here for the first time to build the first line of defense. If he could, Xie Yi hoped that this was the last line of defense. A general who always retreats will be criticized, and the greater the scope of the war, the more ordinary people will suffer, which is a situation that Xie Yi does not want to see.

Fortunately, Xu Xiaode acted in time, and it was said everywhere that only a very small number of nearby prefectures and counties participated in the rebels, and most of them still resolutely supported under the banner of the Tang Dynasty.

Now the soldiers and horses of Dongping County are on par with the Qizhou rebels, the difference is only that the local garrison may not be as strong as the Qizhou army. Although it is a rabble. But there are many grass robbers from the green forest, who used to do business of robbing houses and houses, killing people and stealing goods, and they are all good at it.

However, Dongping's side is defensive. You can use the terrain, positions and cities, and the relative disadvantages are not so much. Moreover, Xie Yi has received news that Li Ke, the king of Wu, has led the soldiers and horses of Songzhou to support. And Hedong Li Ji will also serve as a backup.

In such a situation, how can there be any reason to fail?

At this time, it is only necessary to carefully defend Dongping County. It can successfully block the pace of the rebel attack, and as soon as reinforcements arrive, they can take advantage of the situation to counterattack.

So relatively speaking, Xie Yi is not under much pressure, even if he is on the front line of the rebellion, this mood is quite relaxed.

When the night was settled in the garrison and sentry, Xie Yi went back to rest with peace of mind, Yunzhou Assassin Shi had already vacated the official office as the front-line command post of Xie Houye, and Xie Houye had not arranged a comfortable residence.

Xie Yi pushed the door in, and was surprised that Xu Hui did not greet her enthusiastically, as if there was no figure of her in the house, only a small soldier.

What's going on?

Xie Yi frowned slightly, there is a difference between men and women, it stands to reason that Xiao Bing shouldn't go into his own room, right? Even this courtyard he couldn't enter. The guards in this courtyard are all the Xie family's own people arranged by Yebei, and if the guards don't allow them, others can't come in at all.

So how did this creep end up in his room? Just as Xie Yi was opening his mouth to ask, the little soldier suddenly turned around and showed a smile.

It was only at this time that Xie Yi saw that it was Xu Hui who was wearing a military uniform, pretending to be a soldier, and he was facing away from him, so that he didn't recognize it for a while.

"Why did you wear this?" Xie Yi asked in surprise.

"Today's Yunzhou Thorn Mansion is already a military camp, how can I go in and out casually as a woman." Xu Hui said leisurely: "In order not to affect the reputation of my husband, I wore this one...... In addition, Hui'er also wanted to experience the feeling of wearing a military uniform, so ......"

"Oh!" Xie Yi nodded, it seems that the Tang Dynasty military law stipulates that there can be no women in the army, and generals are not allowed to bring their families when they go out to fight, and Xu Hui's existence is indeed a little problematic. But it doesn't matter if the situation is special now, but it's a good thing that Xu Hui can be so sensible and meticulous.

"How? Do I look good in a military uniform? Xu Hui asked with a smile in a circle.

"Beautiful!" Xie Yi praised and said: "But if you just don't go out in the room, you don't have to do this, it's too tiring to wear a military uniform, even if it's for convenience, you only need to wear a Hu Ren Jin suit." ”

"Hmm!" Xu Hui nodded lightly and said, "That's good, but I'll wear it first...... The little soldier Xu Hui has already prepared a meal and invited the Hou Ye to eat. ”

A table of exquisite meals was already on the table, Xie Yi nodded with a smile, and sat down to eat. Xu Hui did it herself, and it was naturally very delicious.

"Yes, yes, it's really enjoyable to be able to eat such delicious food in times of war!" Xie Yi smiled, looked up at Xu Hui, and said leisurely: "There are also flower-like battlefield roses to accompany you, life has come to this, who in the world has such a blessing?" ”

Xu Hui smiled lightly, and wanted to take off her uniform to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but she was grabbed by Xie Yi and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you go, as for the rest...... It's also a different flavor. ”

Xu Hui's eyes widened at first, and then when she saw Xie Yi's eyes, she immediately understood, and her pretty face suddenly turned crimson.

The lights and candles went out, and there was a rhythmic sound from the armor piece in the room, and there were still some inhumane voices, and a battlefield rose became more and more delicate......

……

In the early morning, when she woke up from her sleep, Xu Hui saw the military uniforms and clothes littered all over the ground, and her face was flushed with shame. Especially when many of the dresses fell on the side of the side, remembering the situation in the back last night, his face was even more red with shame.

It turns out that you can still be like that, and you ......

Alas, it was clear that when the war was raging, I stayed by his side to take care of his daily life and let him fight well, so how could he waste his energy and be distracted in a daze? If this delays something, or if it spreads, it won't affect his reputation or even be criticized?

Thinking of this, Xu Hui couldn't help but feel very remorseful, and there was still a little self-blame in her heart. So he hurriedly got up, put on a shirt, and got up to help her husband change his clothes.

Xie Yi glanced at the delicate figure of the battlefield rose, and his palm slid over the smooth and delicate snow skin, and he couldn't help but shake his head secretly. If there is no war, who would want to leave in such a cold winter morning? No way, now is not the time to immerse yourself in the gentle country, and it is already good to be a little charming at night.

Man, don't be greedy.

Glancing back at the beautiful flower and patting the beauty's knee, Xie Yi reluctantly got up. Who knew that Xu Hui would be wrong, so she quickly pulled her clothes and wrapped her body tightly, and then said righteously: "Start tonight...... Let's sleep separately, and don't let that ...... until the war is over."

"What's wrong? How did things change overnight? Xie Yi was slightly surprised.

Xu Hui shook her head and said, "I made a mistake last night, and I will ...... in the future." These days, I can't let you waste your energy, or I'll be a sinner. ”

"Fool, you think too much, how can such a beautiful thing be related to wasted energy...... If I had to say it, it was also a catharsis of stress. Xie Yi smiled evilly: "You know, there is a lot of pressure on generals in wartime......"

"You ......" Xu Hui, who was teased, looked angry, and just wanted to refute, but someone outside the door reported: "Master Hou, His Royal Highness King Wu's men have arrived in ......" (to be continued. )
