Chapter 48

Early in the morning, with the police drums of Chang'an and the drums of the palace, another day's life kicked off as usual. It's just that today is different from the past, there is a carriage on Suzaku Street that is running in the opposite direction of other carriages, followed by hundreds of soldiers, and on this carriage is the new Jiannan Xichuan Xuanfu Ambassador Yuan Zi, who will take the accompanying soldiers out of Chang'an from the Mingde Gate, and after meeting with other accompanying officials outside the city, he will go to the Shili Changting in the south of the city to receive the officials' farewell.

Because the two rivers are rich, since he knew that Yuan Zi was going to enter Sichuan to serve as the envoy of the Jiannan Xichuan Festival, He Xi found a way to follow Yuan Zi into Sichuan in an endless stream of people in the past two days, and almost broke through the door of the house, Yuan Zi was overjoyed but also annoyed, so Li Yu urged, and set off.

When they arrived at the Ten Mile Long Pavilion, Wei Zhiyi, Feng Yan, and Li Yuan were already waiting here, and Li Yu, the general of Zuo Jin Wuwei Zhonglang, who was a subordinate of Yuan Zi, naturally also came to pay tribute to the old chief. This trip was fat, so Yuan Zi was full of interest, talking and laughing, and several other people also persuaded him to drink again and again. The musician on the side played Wang Wei's "Yangguan Three Stacks" as usual, and Yuan Zi finished his bowl of wine, got up and said:

"It's not early, you adults have your own official business, and Yuan should also be on the road. Thank you very much. ”

Several other people also had their own business, so they didn't force them to stay, and after saying a few auspicious words such as "have a good trip" and "take care", they sent Yuan Zi to the car on the road. This went to comfort Liangchuan, Yuan Zi brought a lot of various rewards and goods, and there were many attachés, so there were also a lot of escort soldiers. Several people did not leave until Yuan Zi and his party were far away. Li Yuan Li Yu brothers were busy with official business, even if they met, they were in a hurry, just took this opportunity to get together, so they ordered someone to lead the horse, and the two brothers slowly walked to no one's place, and their own personal soldiers separated the idle people from the two of them.

"Fu Zhi, are you all ready?" Li Yuan walked forward casually, he was the eldest son of the eldest son, he was born with high hopes, the Tang Dynasty family was particularly strict with the education of the eldest son as the heir of the family, Li Yuan grew up and followed his father in the army, as a young marshal every word and deed are all in the spotlight, so there is rarely a time to relax, now with his younger brother, it is very casual, although he knows that the decisive battle is coming, he is still very enjoyable.

"Big brother, it's all ready. Just wait for His Majesty's order. Li Yu replied respectfully. Li Yu is the son of Li Shengshu, his mother's status is low, she died early, and was raised in the room by Li Sheng's wife, that is, Li Yuan's biological mother, so Li Yu is extremely filial to his mother, and when his mother died, Li Sheng also authorized him to guard the spirit with his son-in-law, and Li Yu has always respected this eldest brother, and he is very respectful. In history, Li Yu died of illness in the army because he led the troops for Li Yuan to go out on the expedition, at the age of 48.

"Yuan Zi has escaped this disaster." Looking at the direction in which Yuan Zi and his party were going, Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Yuan Zi is sleek, and he has a close relationship with Ju Wenzhen Yang Zhilian, if he stays in Chang'an, he will definitely stand still, and the first rat will be at both ends, so His Majesty thinks it is better to let him out." Li Yu said.

"Fu Zhi's talent is ten times better than his brother. I don't know what the odds are for this time? ”

"Brother Yu, for the sake of the generals, there is no last resort, and everything else is done to obey the destiny of heaven, and you can't be demanding. His Majesty also often said, 'Three points are destined, and seven points depend on hard work'. If you want the younger brother to estimate, the younger brother doesn't know how much he can say. But His Majesty can indeed be said to have a last resort this time. If there are no accidents, big things will be harmonious. ”

Li Yuan nodded and said:

"Brother thinks the same way. It's just that the closer you get, the more restless you become, Fu Zhi, do you know why? ”

Li Yu was silent for a while, and said:

"This time, Your Majesty trusts my brother and entrusts me with great responsibility, once the matter fails, I am afraid that my Li family will be wiped out, if it succeeds, my two brothers are Yuan Cong heroes, and my father has the merit of rebuilding the society, I am afraid that the merit will be high and the lord will be shocked, one day Your Majesty will no longer trust my brother and so on, and then there will be villains to sow discord, and my Li family is only afraid that there will be a disaster."

In the rebellion of the four towns that year, Wen Lai Lu Zhen, Wu Lai Li Sheng. At that time, the situation was dangerous, the Jingyuan soldiers rebelled in front, and Li Huaiguang, who rushed to the rescue, rebelled in the rear, so that Dezong almost thought that the Tang dynasty was not guaranteed, but fortunately, Li Sheng led the army to turn the tide and restore Li Tang Sheji. "The trust in Li Shengzhi was unmatched for a while, and he was successively named the king of Xiping County, Zhongshu Ling, and Taiwei, and he was a general.

Unexpectedly, in the future, Dezong was suspicious of the heroes, and Li Sheng and the prime minister Zhang Yansheng were not in harmony, and Tubo discussed, "The famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, but Li Sheng, Hun Xuan, and Ma Suier", so he designed to invite the three generals to come in the name of peace talks, and set up an ambush to kill the three generals. Zhang Yanxiang communiqué personal vendetta, regardless of Li Sheng's opposition, instigated Dezong to agree to Tubo's request for peace talks, as a result, more than 3,000 ** loyal and brave soldiers were ambushed, the whole army was annihilated, and the participants were seriously injured, snatched a horse and fled back.

Afterwards, Zhang Yansheng naturally received the punishment he deserved because of his small size, but Li Sheng, Hun Xuan, Ma Sui and others were also disheartened. Whenever Hun Yang met Dezong's edict and reprimand, he happily said: "The upper authorities do not doubt me." When Ma Sui was the envoy of the Fengxiang Festival, Hao Wei went out to patrol the border, and found that a certain place could be attacked and defended, and a city could be built to curb the plundering of Tibet, and he came back to report to Ma Sui, and Ma Sui was about to send someone to build a city, so someone persuaded him:

"Your merits are already so high, and you are so enterprising, don't let people think that you are not satisfied."

So Ma immediately canceled the plan to build the city, which has not yet been built. As for Li Sheng, he even asked to subordinate the army to the Shence Army and completely handed over the military power. The trees in Li Sheng's house are full of green cages, and there are people who are good at looking at qi who say that this is the appearance of the emperor, so frightened that Li Sheng hurriedly cut down the trees in the courtyard.

At this time, when the two brothers said this, they immediately remembered the bare scene of the bare courtyard after the tree was cut down at home, and they had nothing to say for a while, but they quieted down.

After a long time, Li Yu said:

"My father has always been loyal, and he taught my brothers with loyalty. My brother doesn't know what will happen in the future, but he only knows that His Majesty now regards my brother as his heart. His Majesty is a benevolent monarch, and his benevolence to the people is only experienced by Taizong and Gaozong. Ju Wenzhen, Yang Zhilian and others took high positions and mistook the country and disabled people, His Majesty said that this is a thief. Your Majesty has great ambitions, how can those with great ambitions be intolerant? Therefore, even if the matter does not work out, my brother and I are not willing to ignore His Majesty's kindness and righteousness, and lose my father's reputation. It's a big deal that this matter is over, and my brother will go to work and live idlely to protect my Li family. ”

When Li Yuan heard Li Yu say this, he couldn't help but be moved:

"Fu Zhi is worthy of my family's good son, and he has nothing to say for his brother. In this way, our brothers will make meritorious deeds tomorrow and tomorrow! My brother should do his best to do the king's business, and don't fall into the name of the family! ”

Li Yuan stretched out his hand, Li Yu also stretched out his right palm, and after the two brothers exchanged palms, they turned over and galloped away, leaving a string of hearty laughter echoing in place.
