Liu Yi walked out of the Immortal Residence Palace, and Shangguan Wan'er, who was waiting outside the hall, immediately greeted him and asked with a concerned face, "Yi'an, how is it?" ”

Liu Yi shook his head, gestured, and whispered with a smile: "It's okay..."

Hearing Liu Yi say this, Shangguan Wan'er was obviously relieved, showed a smile, and said to Liu Yi: "You go first, I'll go in..."

Liu Yi walked out of the hall, did not stop, and walked directly in the direction of the Lijing Hall where Princess Taiping lived.

The eunuchs and palace maids waiting outside the Lijing Hall saluted Liu Yi, did not stop or report, and directly let Liu Yi in.

This is Princess Taiping's special order, when she just moved back to the palace to live, she warned these people serving in the Lijing Palace, Liu Yi came over, let him come in directly at any time, and he must not be stopped, so every time Liu Yi came to see Princess Taiping, no one dared to stop him.

Hearing Liu Yi enter the palace, Princess Taiping, who was resting at the right time, greeted her with the support of Ping'er.

Princess Taiping let Ping'er let go of the hand holding her, grabbed Liu Yi's arm herself, and motioned for Ping'er to step aside.

"Husband, I heard that there is chaos in Anxi, and today I will urgently discuss whether to send troops, and now... What's going on? Princess Taiping asked softly with a little nervous face.

"Yue'er, why are you asking about this?" Liu Yi smiled and said that Princess Taiping had never talked to him about court affairs in the past, at least after getting married, she had not asked him about court affairs.

"The concubine is afraid that you will ask for your life to go on the expedition..."Princess Taiping said worriedly, "Is the imperial court ready to send troops?" ”

Liu Yi grabbed Princess Taiping's hand and patted it: "There is chaos in Anxi, the Turks have rebelled against my Tang Dynasty, how can the imperial court not send troops to quell the rebellion, of course, it is necessary to raise a large army to quell the rebellion, even your mother is fully supportive of sending troops!"

"Do you... Please go on the expedition? Hearing Liu Yi say this, Princess Taiping was even more anxious. She had just heard that there was chaos in Anxi, and that the imperial court had urgently convened the ministers to discuss whether to send troops, and she had an instinctive feeling that her husband must be a strong supporter of the use of troops, and he was likely to ask for orders to go on the expedition, just like the previous two times. Therefore, after she learned the news, she was also worried, afraid that Liu Yi would be assigned to lead the troops to quell the rebellion again.

"Yes..."Liu Yi deliberately hung his throat and glanced at Princess Taiping.

"Ahh You... You're still going to go on a campaign... You don't care about the concubine... Pregnant? Princess Taiping's face turned pale, and the hand that grabbed Liu Yi's arm tightened, "Why are you... No, the concubine can't let you go, and the concubine wants to find the queen mother, so I can't let you go no matter what!" Princess Taiping said and let go of Liu Yi's hand, turned around and prepared to walk out.

Liu Yi grabbed Princess Taiping, hugged her waist and said, "Yue'er, don't worry, I haven't finished my words!" Liu Yi scratched Princess Taiping's nose and said with a smile, "I asked for my life, but your queen mother didn't agree to let me lead the army to the battle... I didn't have a chance to go!"

"Really?" Princess Taiping's anxious face just now showed a look of surprise, and her face changed from pale to flushed.

"Of course it's true, your mother loves you, and now that you have a body, of course you don't want your husband to leave you and go to war... Alas!" Liu Yi sighed deliberately, "In this way, my husband has lost a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions!"

Princess Taiping snorted disappre一门ly, "Your contribution is already great enough, and no one will dare to say that you are not good if you don't go on an expedition in the future!" You don't want to go on the expedition in the future... You're here with us... Until the little thing is born," Princess Taiping snuggled into Liu Yi's arms and said yearningly, "I really hope that the concubine is pregnant with a boy who looks like you, and will be as handsome and brave as you in the future!"

"I wish you had a girl and looked as good as you!" Liu Yi grinned, "However, whether it is a boy or a girl, as long as it is our own child, I like it..."

"Then the concubine will give birth to a bunch of boys and daughters for you in the future!" Princess Taiping said with a happy face.

"Shame on you!" Liu Yi pinched Princess Taiping's plump breasts and quipped: "If you give birth to a group of boys and daughters, won't they all catch up with a little sow... Hee-hee, give birth to a litter of little piglets!"

"I hate it," Princess Taiping twisted a handful of meat on Liu Yi's waist and said hatefully, "Do you say that to others!?" ”

Liu Yi deliberately pretended to be in pain and shouted, "Murder your husband...", Princess Taiping laughed proudly.

The two sat on the couch together, Princess Taiping half-lay down and snuggled up to Liu Yi, and said softly: "Husband, stay in the palace every day and panic, the concubine wants to go outside for a walk, relax, you will accompany me to play outside one day!"

"Okay, it's mid-spring weather now, flowers are in full bloom, I should go outside to enjoy the spring scenery, when the weather is good for me, just when I rest, I'll accompany you, go around the city, or go to our manor, if your mother allows, we can stay there for a day or two and come back!" Liu Yi hurriedly agreed.

"The concubine went to tell the queen mother, presumably the queen mother will definitely agree!" Princess Taiping's eyes rolled a few times, "When the concubine arrives, call Wan'er too, and let her stay there with me for a few days, we can talk about poetry together, beautiful spring, we should leave some poems down!"

Seeing Princess Taiping's meaningful eyes, Liu Yi didn't dare to say anything about Shangguan Wan'er, so he quickly changed the topic: "When I stay in Zhuangzi, I still have some things to discuss with you... Let's talk about it later!"

Seeing Liu Yi's somewhat evasive eyes, Princess Taiping had a special smile on her face, put her mouth to Liu Yi's ear, and asked quietly: "Husband, have you called Xiaoyun to sleep... Hee-hee!"

Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, glared at Princess Taiping, and said loudly: "No!" If you have such a wife, you openly let yourself find another woman, really!

"Then how did you come here at night!" Princess Taiping said with a smile still on her face.

"I lived like I did for more than ten years!" Liu Yi couldn't stand Princess Taiping's appearance, and stood up, "I'm leaving, I still have something to deal with, I'll come and see you again tomorrow!"

"Husband, I'm thinking about you..."Princess Taiping was a little nervous when she saw Liu Yi like this, sat up, and took Liu Yi's hand, "You must not ...... suffocated body..."

"Okay, I see, I'm leaving!" Liu Yi got up, broke away from Princess Taiping's hand, and walked out, and when he walked to the door, he stopped and turned his head, "Yue'er, don't think about these miscellaneous things, take care of your body, and know how to do it for your husband!" Hey, hey!" ——

Liu Yi left the palace and did not return to the house, but went directly to Pei Xingjian's house.

The housekeeper of Pei Mansion let Liu Yi in without informing.

Pei Xingjian lay in the room to rest, and several other generals who escorted Pei Xingjian back, such as Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianqiao, had already left, and Liu Yi came directly to Pei Xingjian's room.

Mrs. Pei was also in the room, talking to Pei Xingjian, and after Liu Yi stepped forward and saluted, Mrs. Pei immediately withdrew.

Pei Xingjian, who was lying on the couch on his side, motioned for Liu Yi to sit next to him and asked, "Yi'an, what did Niangniang tell you?" ”

"Regarding why Wang Fangyi was recommended as the commander of the army, there are also some matters related to the generals..."Liu Yi also immediately told Pei Xingjian about the matter, and even Wu Zetian did not agree with him to go on the expedition.

Pei Xingjian listened to what Liu Yi said and pondered. Wu Zetian's attitude towards Wang Fangyi was not surprising to Pei Xingjian, this is exactly what he was worried about, now there is no general in the court who can stand alone, Wang Fangyi is also lacking, and his prestige is even more insufficient, coupled with Wu Zetian's distrust of him, even if Wang Fangyi is entrusted with the position of general manager of the march, commanding the war may not be smooth. Originally, Pei Xingjian thought that if Liu Yi could lead tens of thousands of horses into Anxi as the deputy chief administrator, then with Liu Yi's reputation and prestige, coupled with his Pei Xingjian's training, he should be able to assist Wang Fangyi very well, so that the command and battle would be much smoother. But now Wu Zetian categorically rejected Liu Yi's request to ask for war, and Pei Xingjian also thought of the fact that Princess Taiping was pregnant, knowing that Liu Yi would go to war again, it would be useless, so he sighed and said: "This matter is really far more complicated than thinking about the teacher!"

Liu Yi is very confident, "Teacher, the apprentice thinks that the queen of heaven will definitely agree to appoint Wang Fangyi as the chief of the march, this is the best general who can be appointed at present, and the other generals who have been appointed as deputy should also be selected among the few people recommended by the apprentice, these people have a good relationship with the teacher, they lead the army to Anxi, and the teacher will ask for an order, presumably they will definitely follow the instructions of the teacher, and work together with Wang Duhu to quell the rebellion!"

"If that's the case, that's good!" Pei Xingjian looked thoughtful, "I think that among these people, Li Zhishi and Tang Xiujing are the most suitable, you can find a time to talk to the queen of heaven again!"

Liu Yi was a little puzzled, "Teacher, why isn't it General Cheng Wuting?" ”

"This general is arrogant, coupled with the fact that he has achieved good results in several battles in a row, and has made a lot of military achievements, he must be unwilling to obey Wang Fangyi's dispatch and let him go, it will only make things more troublesome!"

"Teacher, apprentice understands!" Liu Yi thought about it, what Pei Xingjian said was indeed reasonable. Cheng Wuting and Wang Fangyi were both recommended by Pei Xingjian, and they also learned the art of war from Pei Xingjian, so they still know a little about them, plus Pei Xingjian is good at recognizing people, it will not be wrong to say this, "The disciple said that he would face the queen of heaven again tomorrow, and suggested this matter!"

"It's good!" Pei Xingjian nodded, "Regarding how this battle will be in the imperial court, the division will think carefully in the past few days, you also go back and think about it carefully, and then the two of us will discuss and discuss, and submit the battle proposal before the army sets out!" You go first..."

"Yes, I understand! That apprentice went first," Liu Yi got up, and after saluting respectfully, he strode out of Pei Xingjian's house!
