readx;? After Wu Zetian set Qin Jing, the heavy task of suppressing the rebellion was of course pressed on Qin Jing's head, as for Qin Jing, he was very happy now, after so many years in the Great Inner Nest, Qin Jing felt that he should always have a bright future, and this suppression of the rebellion was a great opportunity for him to make meritorious contributions.

With this thought, Qin Jing was also very excited, that afternoon he took the 100,000 horses given to him by Wu Zetian, left Chang'an City in a mighty way, and went north to Bozhou to suppress the rebellion, Li Yao also personally sent Qin Jing out of the east gate, and told Qin Jingqian not to be careless, Li Chong is not so easy to deal with, but Qin Jing just nodded from Wu Yang, and did not take Li Yao's words at ease.
Li Yao was also quite helpless about this, and after sending Qin Jing away, Li Yao returned to the Yifu with a long sigh.
After Qin Jing left, everyone in Chang'an City was very worried, wondering if Qin Jing had suppressed Li Chong's rebellion, just like this, time passed in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, it had been a full ten days since Qin Jing led the army to leave Chang'an City.
At noon on this day, Li Yaoyi, as in the past, accompanied Dong Mingzhu and Rouge to play leisurely in the Yifu, just when Li Yao was playing, Cheng Lingwei's figure suddenly appeared outside the gate of the Yifu, she stood outside the gate of the Yifu, first stared at the two guards guarding the gate of the Yifu with cold eyes, and then broke into the Yifu directly, and the two guards guarding the door couldn't stop it if they wanted to.
As soon as she rushed in, she saw Li Yao leisurely in the front yard, glared at Li Yao and shouted: "You despicable and shameless villain, you actually cheated me?"
"Yo! Isn't this Master Cheng? What kind of wind is blowing today? It actually blew Master Cheng to me?" Li Yao stopped his movements, turned his head to stare at Cheng Lingwei and smiled, the expression on his face was pleasant.
She waited for Cheng Lingwei to come to him, she waited for more than ten days, today Cheng Lingwei finally came, Li Yao's heart is like a thousand miles away now, anyway, the more she looks at Cheng Lingwei's angry appearance, the more happy Li Yao's heart is, and she wishes that Cheng Lingwei would die of anger.
Cheng Lingwei saw that Li Yao was still pretending to be stupid, and she scolded again: "Before King Langya launched a rebellion, you sold all your properties in Chang'an City to us, and now the rebellion is together, everyone in Chang'an City is in danger, and no one dares to buy and sell land and commercial buildings, you say, you are not a pit for us, could it be that you knew that King Langya would launch a rebellion?"
"How do I know, I'm not a god, I was thinking of selling your personal favor, not fighting with you, you are good now, you actually bite Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people and came here to scold me for being despicable and shameless, Master Cheng, let's make it clear, when we talked before, we didn't force you to buy it! Li Yao turned his head to the side, and replied viciously to Cheng Lingwei in a tone that he was angry and did not pay for his life.
"You ......" Cheng Lingwei was choked by Li Yao's words on the spot.
The fact is indeed just like Li Yao said, the two sides are a fair deal, no one forced anyone, Cheng Lingwei came to trouble Li Yao at this time, it can't help but seem a little nonsense, but Li Yao is indeed a little bit of a fool of her, now Li Chong is in rebellion, business in Chang'an City is no longer as good as before, and the land and commercial buildings that Li Yao bought are now a hot potato, and they can't sell it if they want to.
If you think about it carefully, it is an industry of 50 million taels of silver! Once these properties are smashed into the hands of Cheng Lingwei and Xia Ling, the two of them will really have a hard time in the future.
The more she thought about this, the more angry Cheng Lingwei became.
At a certain moment, Cheng Lingwei, who was angry, directly raised her fist and jumped forward, and was about to punch Li Yao in the face, Rouge stood beside Li Yao, as soon as Cheng Lingwei moved, she blocked Li Yao's body violently, and her little hand just stretched out to block Cheng Lingwei's attacking fist, and then raised her little foot, and kicked Cheng Lingwei to her stomach, kicking her upside down and flying out.
Stared coldly at Cheng Lingwei, who was lying on the ground, and Rouge said coldly: "I can't beat you, you are not as good as me in terms of brains, you still run here to mess around, you are really asking for hardship, I advise you to go back and wait for the president quickly! β
"I won't let you go. Cheng Lingwei propped herself up from the ground angrily, and after throwing off such a cruel word, she quickly turned around and rushed out of the Yifu.
Li Yao also noticed that when Cheng Lingwei ran out, she kept reaching out to wipe the tears oozing from her eyes, Li Yao really wanted to say sorry to her, but when she thought of Cheng Lingwei's empathy and farewell, Li Yao swallowed it all back into his stomach no matter how sorry he was.
He just wanted Cheng Lingwei to know that it was wrong for her to choose Xia Ling at the beginning.
And after Cheng Lingwei left, Li Yao was not in the mood to stay in the house anymore and relax, Li Yao originally wanted to go out for a walk, but at this moment, Yan Hong and Ling Hong came to tell him again, saying that Wu Zetian summoned him to the imperial study to see him, and Li Yao was in a good mood, and suddenly disappeared.
In desperation, Li Yao had to reluctantly enter the palace.
When he came to the imperial study, in addition to Wu Zetian and Li Dan, the puppet emperor, there were also Lou Shide and Dong Yan and other important ministers, which was similar to when he first came to the imperial study ten days ago to see Wu Zetian, anyway, they were all those people.
As soon as Li Yao came in, he hurriedly saluted Wu Zetian and Li Dan, and Wu Zetian waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, this time the mourning family called you over to tell you that ten days have passed, and news has just come that Qin Jing led the army north to Tongzhou when he met the rebel army, and the two sides fought in Tongzhou for five days and five nights, and finally ended with Qin Jing's defeat and capture, and now Tongzhou has been occupied by Li Chong's rebel army." β
"What? Qin Jing was captured?" Li Yao exclaimed in surprise.
He couldn't believe that Qin Jing was actually captured by Li Chong in Tongzhou, which was simply beyond Li Yao's expectations.
Wu Zetian shook his head and said coldly: "According to the news from the front, Qin Jing did win the battle, but he was too arrogant, if it wasn't for his arrogance and being captured by the enemy generals for a while, I'm afraid the army would not have been defeated in Tongzhou so quickly." β
"Which enemy general captured Qin Jing?" asked Li Yao.
"The horse's own brother, Xue Yi. When Wu Zetian said this, her face was extremely pale.
Everyone in the imperial study closed their mouths in interest, and no one dared to say more.
Everyone knows that Wu Zetian married his own daughter Princess Taiping to Xue Shao, Xue Shao and Princess Taiping have been happy in recent years, and Princess Taiping has just given birth to a son to Xue Shao recently.
But Xue Shao is his daughter's husband after all, and it is impossible for Wu ZenaΓ―ve to execute Xue Shao ruthlessly.
The crowd was silent, and the angry Wu Zetian slapped the imperial desk again, glaring at the crowd in the imperial study and shouting: "Is the criminal department still available?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, Weichen Zhang Ling is here. As soon as Wu Zetian's words fell, Zhang Ling, the secretary of the Criminal Department standing in the corner, hurriedly stood up and bowed his head.
"You immediately take someone to copy the Xue family to the mourning family, except for Xue Shao, you put him in the prison, and everyone else will be beheaded, and no one will be left. Wu Zetian didn't think about it, and directly gave such an order to Zhang Ling.
Zhang Ling's body trembled on the spot, and he didn't dare to admit or persuade him.
Lou Shide, who was standing on the side, said to Wu Zetian in a timely manner: "Queen Mother, now the rebel army led by Li Chong is in a state of overwhelm, if the Queen Mother kills Xue Yi's family again at this time, I am afraid it will backfire and make the rebel army even more imposing!"
"The next city in Tongzhou is Jingzhou, you convey the meaning of the mourning family to Di Renjie, if he must defend Jingzhou to the death, he can't be defeated within half a month, if the mourning family wants to send someone to lead the army to suppress the rebellion, it will take at least half a month to reach Jingzhou. Wu Zetian didn't care about Lou Shide's advice at all, he just analyzed the current situation by himself, and asked Lou Shi to convey such an order to Di Renjie.
Li Yao was stunned on the spot.
After a long time, the next city in Tongzhou will be Jingzhou! According to this, if the Tang Dynasty does not send a general who is resourceful and capable of suppressing Li Chong, I am afraid that Li Chong will directly lead his troops to defeat Jingzhou, and advance all the way to the hinterland and directly Chang'an City, so Jingzhou must not be lost, and once Jingzhou is lost, Wu Zetian will really be finished.
Thinking about this, Li Yao hurriedly said to Wu Zetian: "Queen Mother, Huaiyi invites troops to the Queen Mother, I am willing to lead the army to Jingzhou to suppress the rebellion, after all, Jingzhou still has my Brother Di here, I can't be ruthless and unjust, I have to save him from fire and water." β
"You have never led troops into battle, what are you going to do?" Wu Zetian asked rhetorically.
"Then the Queen Mother will send a person with combat experience to accompany me, and that will be it, with his combat experience and bravery, coupled with my resourcefulness, I believe that Li Chong's rebellion will be suppressed. Li Yao clenched his fists and made a sonorous request for Wu Zetian.
Seeing his determined appearance, Wu Zetian looked up at Lou Shide again, but Lou Shide didn't say a strange word this time, Zhang Ling, the secretary of the Criminal Department who was stunned over there, saw that Wu Zetian insisted on killing the Xue family, he had no choice but to leave Wu Zetian and take someone to Xue Mansion to arrest people.
And Wu Zetian was stunned and thought about it for a long time, and she finally responded: "Okay! You have never disappointed the mourning family, and this time the mourning family also believes you, so you will take Cheng Boxian with you, and the two of you will lead the troops to Jingzhou to suppress the rebellion." β
