Chapter Seventy-Seven: Misunderstanding and Ambiguity

"Your Majesty, the Ziqing camp is a good news."

In the imperial study, Li Yu was reviewing the chapters, and Lu Zhen quietly came in. Li Yu put down the recital and said:

"Oh, won the battle? Let's hear it. ”

Lu Zhen said:

"Back to Your Majesty, it's a big victory. Wang Zhixing, the commander of the 56th Army, led his troops to conquer Surabaya, and the eight counties of Yanzhou had conquered five of them. Wang Zhixing and Li Ting were advancing from north to south and attacking Yizhou. In addition, Li Guangyan reported that he broke the Ziqing Army in Jindi River Bay, Taiqian County, and pulled out Xiaohe City. More than 20 officers below the rank of lieutenant and above of Xiahou Cheng were captured. More than 2,000 were beheaded and more than 4,000 were taken prisoner. The Ziqing Xingying reported that the captured officers were about to be escorted to Beijing in the near future. ”

Li Yu nodded and said:

"I really want to escort these guys to Chang'an, let the government and the opposition see the heroic martial arts of my Tang Dynasty royal division, and also block the mouths of some people who are fighting for me. Oh, by the way, there are good news from the north and south roads, how is Wang Pei in the middle road? ”

Lu Zhen said:

The Ziqing Xingying reported that Wang Pei had already sent his troops to Caozhou. At present, our army has won a big victory on both sides, and the defense of Caozhou will inevitably be shaken, and I believe that there will be good news uploaded in the near future. ”

Li Yu stood up and said:

"That's the truth. Pei Du won a series of victories as soon as he arrived at the camp, which really earned me enough face. However, I want to remind Pei Du that as soon as Wang Pei's army comes out, Xuanwu will be empty, and you must be careful of Li Shidao's sneak attack on the camp, Li Shidao still likes to play this kind of ghost trick. Didn't it say that Li Shidao had gathered tens of thousands of troops near Yunzhou? Therefore, the camp must leave enough guards to defend it, and it must not be that Yunzhou has not been defeated, but something has happened in Bianzhou. If necessary, transfer Xue Ping over, I think he has been aggrieved for a long time. ”

Lu Zhen said:

"Your Majesty. Chen and Pei Yan also think so. ”

Li Yu nodded and said:

"And Li Yu's side should also pay attention. It's true that he's from the south, but he can't keep an eye on the south. Although Haizhou Yizhou Yanzhou Mizhou is important, it is only branches and leaves, and Yunzhou is the root. In Yunzhou, he has to put some pressure. Didn't he contact the Soviet rebels? Why is there no echo at all now? Send a secret text to urge him again. ”

Lu Zhen said:

"Yes."

Li Yu slowly walked to the huge sand table in the imperial study, and planted two small flags in the place of Surabaya and Xiaohe, and another near Caozhou. Road:

"The imperial court spent millions of dollars and grains, and I don't know when it will be able to pacify Ziqing and then pacify Hebei."

Lu Zhen saw that Li Chen's tone was sad, and he hurriedly explained:

"Your Majesty, within a few years, Hebei will definitely be pacified."

Li Yu knew Lu Zhen's intentions, so he smiled and said to Lu Zhen:

"If Lu Xianggong has nothing to do, he can go back first, I want to be alone first."

Lu Zhen didn't know why Li Yan's mood suddenly became so low. It was not his fortification to understand the holy will, and it was not his wish to please the holy lord, so he sang a promise and went down.

Li Yu was in a low mood because today was his anniversary. Thinking that this year has been the third year of Xingzhi, and it has been a full six years since the crossing, is your home okay? It's been so long, Li Yu doesn't expect to be able to travel back, but every time every year, Li Chen's heart will feel uncomfortable for no reason, although he always comforts himself and says:

"In this world, I already have a home, a well-behaved daughter, and a huge career that I couldn't think of before, I should be satisfied, and I should wish my family a long time."

Fortunately, it's been a long time, and they should have a new life, right? My son is getting taller and taller now, right? Sensible will take care of his mother, right? Actually, they were quite tired of following me. After trying his best to make things develop in a better direction, Li Yu finally stopped the sadness in his heart and walked to the sand table again.

Life still has to go on. Sadness is nothing more than entertainment created for fate to see.

In this world, I am the strongest. The strong should not be sad.

So what happened to the fate that this strong man arranged for Tian Ji'an?

Looking at Weizhou, which was marked in dark red on the map, Li Yu fell into deep thought.

In the city of Weizhou, the Jiedu Embassy, with the deterioration of the situation in Ziqing and the improvement of Tian Xing's health, Tian Ji'an's mood turned depressed. Tian Ji'an is only thirty-one years old, but Tian Ji'an feels that his inner age is even more than fifty-one years old. In the evening, Mrs. Yuan hung a rosary and began to worship the Buddha as usual. Tian Ji'an rarely came in quietly. Mrs. Yuan thought that the maid was looking for something, so she didn't care, but unexpectedly, Tian Ji'an sent her subordinates out, sat next to Mrs. Yuan and said:

"Ma'am. Organized and published in àp.. cn”

Knowing that it was Tian Ji'an coming, Mrs. Yuan hurriedly got up, but Tian Ji'an held her shoulders and sat next to her. Mrs. Yuan knew that she couldn't struggle him, so she didn't move. Tian Ji'an sat still, sighed for no reason, and said:

"Madam, you worship the Buddha every day, and you are a kind-hearted person. And the husband is a sadistic person. We've been together for more than a decade, and I know you don't like me being brutal. Actually, I don't want to be so brutal. Well, who wants to bury someone alive? It's just that if I'm not harsh, how can I hold down the people below? These people are all bloodthirsty jackals, and only if they can be suppressed can they be domesticated into domestic dogs! ”

Mrs. Yuan closed her eyes slightly, as if she didn't hear what Tian Ji'an was saying, Tian Ji'an continued:

"These people, on the surface, are loyal and respectful to me, but who knows when they will slap their butts and take refuge in the court? The head of our family is the vote of their surrender. I couldn't sleep every night, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw that the person who was still patting me on the back yesterday was pointing a knife at me. If we are not careful, our Tian family will repeat the mistakes of the Ziqing Hou family and the Huaixi Chen family. Huaixi Chen Xianqi is loyal and righteous enough, and he is good enough for his subordinates, wasn't he killed by Wu Shaoyang? How many people like me are truly faithful to me? They are only greedy for wealth and fear of me. ”

"When Her Royal Highness Mother was alive, I also wanted to be a feudal town, a feudal town loyal to the imperial court, and wash away the rebellious color on my body, but no matter what I did, what I got was still the white eyes of those so-called righteous gentlemen. When I was seventeen years old, I went to Chang'an, and that trip to Chang'an made me know that the so-called Son of Heaven who is a herdsman on behalf of the heavens, the son of heaven who is benevolent and wise, is just a coward who is greedy for enjoyment, a bad person, and far away from loyal ministers, even loyal ministers like Lu Zhen were driven away by him. Under his rule, the common people were displaced and had nowhere to redress their grievances. Not even the worst of my governance of Weibo. And the reason why people despise me and respect him is only because he is the Son of Heaven, and I am the rebel of my ancestors and rebels. Since then, I have decided that I can only be me, the guardian of the Tian family, and I can't be the loyal and obedient person of such an emperor, even if I, Tian Ji'an, will always be despised and unwilling. ”

"Actually, I'm not afraid that people will disdain me. Aren't their Li family also courtiers of the Yang family in the previous dynasty? As long as I have strong soldiers, one day, our Tian family will be like theirs! ”

Yuan's eyes had already opened, she had never heard Tian Ji'an say so much in her heart, and after listening to him say so much in one go, Yuan's couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. Tian Ji'an knew that the Yuan clan was surprised, and said:

"You and I have been married for more than ten years. I know that you are not very willing to marry me, but after entering my family, you can still abide by the way of women and teach your husband and children. I've worked hard for you for more than ten years. I have never said this to you for more than ten years, but now that the imperial court has changed the new monarch, he has worked hard to level the feudal towns one by one, pacified Huaixi the year before last, and began to attack Ziqing last year. When Ziqing is finished, it's time to take our Weibo next. Although I, Tian Ji'an, claim to be a bastard, but I am not afraid that it is false. But I can't say that to anyone else. We are husband and wife, and now that I want to come, I can only tell you what is in my heart. ”

Mrs. Yuan believed in Buddhism, and when she saw Tian Ji'an say this, she said timidly:

"Since your lord knows that the imperial court will take advantage of our Tian family, why don't you take advantage of the fact that the imperial court is attacking Li Shidao to ask the imperial court for peace? Adults are ambitious, but the Tang Dynasty is destined to be in the sky. If God doesn't bless your husband, why should your husband be persistent? Otherwise, when the court frees up its hands, the pressure will be all on our family. It is not a good thing to be in danger of being a soldier. ”

got up and walked to the window, Tian Ji'an said angrily:

"It's late. If my generals surrender, the court will treat them as good, and even reuse them, but if my Tian Ji'an surrenders, the court will not trust me, at most give me a good job, and keep me in the prison of Chang'an as a duke - besides, I am already a good product. Madam, am I, Tian Ji'an, a person who is willing to live this kind of life? ”

Mrs. Yuan wanted to persuade again, but Tian Ji'an had already gotten up and walked out. Mrs. Yuan also stood up, and seeing that Tian Ji'an was about to go out, Mrs. Yuan suddenly said:

"My lord, it's getting late, won't you stay here for the night?"

Tian Ji'an turned around, almost not believing his ears. Yuan Shi had already blushed and said in a low voice:

"It's getting late, don't you stay here for dinner?"

Tian Ji'an stammered:

"Stay, of course."

Yuanshi Road:

"Then I will have the food brought here. Then send someone to call Huai Zhi. Let's talk about the three of us haven't eaten together for a long time. ”

After that, he went out with all his money and watched Tian Ji'an stay there. Xuan thought again:

"It seems that the January period ordered by Doctor Zhang is coming soon, right?"

Tian Ji'an trusts Doctor Zhang because Doctor Zhang has cured many people's diseases, including diseases that are considered incurable like Tian Xing, and Tian Ji'an likes Doctor Zhang because Doctor Zhang only let him avoid sexual intercourse for a month to fix the kidney water for him, unlike other quacks, it will be at least three months and sixty days, and it will even take more than a year to instigate, and the efficacy is not guaranteed, which naturally makes Tian Ji'an, who is bent on spreading his leaves, dissatisfied. And Doctor Zhang scoffed at the quacks' talk of more than a year, not only packed the ticket to ensure that it would be effective within a month, but also mysteriously told Tian Ji'an that there would be good things to offer in a month. As for what kind of good thing it was, Doctor Zhang smiled lewdly:

"Nature is something that makes people immortal."

This can't help but make Tian Ji'an's ascetic life more than countless pink reverie. The worship of Doctor Zhang became more and more atmospheric. Who called Dr. Zhang Shen to be seventy years old, and there is no woman who is not so violent? Tian Ji'an exercised every day according to the requirements of Doctor Zhang, took strange medicines, and after more than ten days, he really felt that he was full of firepower, and he became more and more respectful of Doctor Zhang. However, when Tian Ji'an asked for the ban to be lifted in advance, Doctor Zhang blinked his eyes, which usually do not open easily, and said:

"Actually, if it were someone else, it wouldn't take that long, at most twenty days, but Tian Xianggong is not an ordinary person, and he has a beautiful wife at home, so it is inevitable that he can't hold it, so the mountain people said ten more days."

Excitedly, Tian Ji'an wanted to break the fast at that time, but was pulled by Doctor Zhang and said:

"Tian Xianggong, don't be impatient, the mountain people haven't finished talking about it yet-Later, looking at Tian Xianggong's recovery, the mountain people thought that after Tian Xianggong's kidney water was initially solidified, there would be another ten days to consolidate, so that the January period was just right, so, Tian Xianggong, you should bear with it for the time being!"

Then, Doctor Zhang specially emphasized:

"Remember, you can't miss a day. If Tian Xianggong does not follow the instructions of the mountain people, and if something happens to him and causes any other symptoms, the mountain people cannot guarantee that he will be cured. ”

bluffed Tian Ji'an, both large and small, stunned. Doctor Zhang intermittently talked about many precautions, and the other Tian Ji'an didn't care, except for remembering that the prostitute and the five girls were not allowed.

It's really getting harder and harder in the end. Originally, this matter was not a big deal, if you can't touch a woman, you can't touch a woman, but Tian Ji'an didn't dare to say it to the outside world. What are you kidding, isn't it ruining your prestige to say such a thing? It's been almost a month, and Tian Ji'an has spent the night in the government office under the pretext of being busy with official business, but the New Year has been spent in the back house for a few days. In the past few days, Tian Ji'an has the feeling of burning all five times every day, but he doesn't dare to do anything, and he doesn't even do anything that hurts Tianhe like burying people alive according to Dr. Zhang's instructions, and Tian Ji'an has nowhere to vent. The news of Li Shidao's defeat in a few battles made him more and more irritable, today he went out to ride a horse and ran in the cold wind for almost an afternoon before he calmed down, and when he came back, he saw the flowers in the house, and heard the warbler Yanyan, Tian Ji'an couldn't stand it anymore, so he came to the Yuan family's room that he hadn't come to for a long time, thinking that the Yuan family had always worshiped the Buddha, and he didn't get along, so he could come to the Yuan family to calm down. Unexpectedly, the Yuan family, who has been cold on weekdays, suddenly appeared so charming, and Tian Ji'an was about to explode.

After walking back and forth in the room for a few times, Tian Ji'an decided to take advantage of Yuan's absence and quickly slip away, but before he was discharged from the hospital, Yuan's had already come in:

"My lord, what are you doing out here, it's cold outside."

Yuan's expression returned to his cold appearance, Xu went out to be cold, Yuan's cheeks were flushed, but Tian Ji'an couldn't move his steps anymore, and it was easy to follow Yuan's into the room, so he didn't care that the maid was still beside him, and hugged Yuan's up, and Yuan's shouted:

"What are you doing, my lord? The girls are still there! ”

After seeing the maids running out of the room with red faces and bringing the door up, Yuan's voice became quieter:

"My lord, it's not dark yet!"

Tian Ji'an was in a hurry and had no time to answer.

(A few words are omitted here.) )

Tian Huaizhi rushed over in a thick mink coat, but saw his mother's maids smiling under the porch with red faces. Tian Huaijian walked over with a smile and asked:

"Sisters, what are you laughing at, is there anything funny?"

Startled the maids, pulled Tian Huaiji, and said:

"Living Ancestor, be quiet!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the main room with his hand. Tian Huaizhi was confused and said:

"What's wrong?"

The maids didn't know how to explain to Tian Huaiji, Tian Huaiji had no teacher to say:

"Are my mother and father in the room?"

The maidens nodded. Tian Huaiji said with a look of disdain:

"What's embarrassing to say, look at you."

The maid didn't know what to say, so she nodded. Tian Huaiji's face changed suddenly, and he said:

"Didn't they say wait for me? How did they themselves go first? ”

The maids are petrified en masse. Seeing Tian Huaiji's appearance, he was about to rush into the house, and hurriedly grabbed it. Fortunately, an old man inside heard the sound of rice outside, so he came to his senses and asked Tian Huai:

"Son, are you saying that the prince and his wife are going to wait for you to have dinner together?"

Tian Huai admonished:

"Of course, it's not waiting for me to have dinner, it's waiting for me?"

The maids couldn't help but feel ashamed and complained to each other. Or the old maid said:

"Hey, Son, I'm in that room! It's not there yet. ”

Sure enough, one by one the food boxes were mentioned outside the courtyard gate, and the maids went out with red faces and brought the food boxes in. When Tian Huaiji saw the food box, he didn't make trouble.
