In the past three days, Li Yao has been coaxing Dong Mingzhu, after these three days of soft grinding and hard foaming, Dong Mingzhu, who was originally very angry with Li Yao, was in a much better mood, and a smile appeared on his face again, Li Yao could finally breathe a long sigh of relief, he didn't want Dong Mingzhu to mess with him at home all day long.

And just when Li Yao felt relieved, the time to come was still here.

In the morning of this day, when Li Yaoshang was still leisurely enjoying the cold in the mansion, Yan Hong and Ling Hong rushed to the courtyard to find Li Yao, and shouted to Li Yao anxiously: "My lord, the queen mother has an urgent matter, and I told the two of us to come and invite you to enter the palace quickly." ”

"What's so urgent?" asked Li Yao in surprise.

"You'll find out when you go. Yan Hong and Ling Hong didn't say anything to Li Yaoming, but just urged Li Yao anxiously.

Li Yao saw that the two of them were so anxious, and he also had some foundation in his heart, and he could probably guess why Wu Zetian invited him into the palace in such a hurry, it is estimated that Li Chong from Bozhou finally couldn't help but do it, if not, where would Wu Zetian be in such a hurry?

Thinking about this, Li Yao didn't say much, and immediately got up and left the Yifu with Yan Hong and Ling Hong, and headed towards the palace, this time, Wu Zetian did not choose to summon Li Yao in the Palace of Eternal Life, but invited all the important ministers of the court to the imperial study to discuss things.

When Li Yao arrived in the imperial study, as soon as he walked in, he saw that the imperial room was already full of people, including Lou Shide and Dong Yan and others, which made Li Yao want to laugh the most, at this moment, Tang Ruizong Li Danzheng was sitting behind the imperial desk with an expressionless face, without saying a word.

Wu Zetian sat next to him, and when he saw Li Yao coming, Wu Zetian opened his mouth and said to everyone in the imperial study: "Ladies and gentlemen, the mourning family has summoned all of you to the imperial study this time, because there is one thing to discuss with all of you, and I hope that you can solve problems for the mourning family." ”

"I don't know what the Queen Mother said?" Lou Shide was the first to ask.

"The mourning family has just received reliable news that Li Chong, the king of Langya, has launched a rebellion in Bozhou, and a large number of troops are fighting all the way from Bozhou to Chang'an City, and the morale is high!" Wu Zetian gritted her teeth and told everyone the worst news for her.

When she said this, everyone opened their mouths in shock, and they were dumbfounded for a while, and they didn't dare to say a word when they stood there.

Who would have thought that Li Chong, the king of Langya, really launched a rebellion, and this rebellion came so quickly, almost without any preparation on the side of Chang'an City, Li Chong had already gathered a large number of troops, and had already fought all the way from Bozhou to Chang'an City.

This simply stunned everyone.

Li Yao secretly thought in his heart, who told Wu Zetian when he got the news of Li Chong's rebellion, or did she have already planted spies around Li Chong?

Thinking about this, Li Yao didn't ask much, but hurriedly said to Wu Zetian: "Queen Mother, according to the lower officials, the only way to do this is to send someone to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion, otherwise, let Li Chong come over with the army like this, it is likely that in less than half a year, he will be able to come to Chang'an City." ”

"Queen Mother, Lord Xue is telling the truth, King Langya's rebellion must have been raised in the name of crusading against the Queen Mother, and now all the forces in the Tang Dynasty are almost responding to King Langya's rebellion, if the Queen Mother does not send troops to suppress it, I believe he will soon be able to take people to suppress Chang'an City. Lou Shide nodded in agreement, and opened his mouth to drink Li Yao.

Wu Zetian was silent for a while.

She admitted that Li Yao and Lou Shide were very correct, but now she has no suitable generals to use, who to send to suppress Li Chong's rebellion?

In desperation, Wu Zetian could only ask: "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what general you think can lead the army to suppress Li Chong's rebellion in the Tang Dynasty today?"

"This ......" and the crowd stood up.

"Don't you think anyone can suppress Li Chong's rebellion?" Wu Zetian slapped on the imperial desk, glaring at everyone and shouting.

The people in the imperial study all lowered their heads in fright, not daring to say more.

Everyone understands in their hearts that if they recommend the general and take the soldiers to suppress Li Chong, then Wu Zetian will definitely be happy in his heart and will not blame them, but once the general loses the battle and has not killed Li Chong, I am afraid that the people who recommended him to suppress the rebellion will not have a good time, based on this, who dares to talk nonsense?

When Lou Shide, an old man who was not afraid of heaven and earth, he saw that everyone did not dare to speak, he immediately took a step forward, hugged his fists and said respectfully to Wu Zetian: "Queen Mother, according to the old minister's opinion, I think that Cheng Bo is more suitable to be the commander of the suppression of the rebel army. ”

"Cheng Boxian?" Wu Zetian muttered in a low voice.

"Queen Mother, I object. Li Yao suddenly raised his head and stared at Wu Zetian, and directly refuted Lou Shide's statement.

Everyone in the imperial study immediately turned their eyes to him.

Wu Zetian also asked curiously: "Do you think Cheng Boxian is not suitable to be the commander?"

"Queen Mother, with my understanding of Cheng Boxian, although he has experience in fighting and has rich combat experience, if you want to talk about tactics and strategy, he is still a little worse, and he is too upright, if he is allowed to go, as long as Li Chong plays a little trick, it is estimated that he may be tricked, so I personally recommend not to send him. Li Yao said what he thought in his heart.

Cheng Boxian is a person, Li Yao knows too well, he is afraid that Cheng Boxian will lead troops to fight Li Chong, but if he is overshadowed by Li Chong, then he may not recover, and another is that Cheng Boxian and Wang Ling'er have a well-behaved son, and Li Yao doesn't want Cheng Boxian to take this risk.

If he dies in the war of this rebellion, won't Wang Ling'er have to be widowed alive? This is what Li Yao does not want to see, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Li Yao tried his best to prevent Cheng Boxian from becoming the commander of the rebel suppression army because of his own selfishness, but Li Yao's selfishness was definitely for Cheng Boxian and Wang Ling'er, and he had a clear conscience.

After Wu Zetian listened to Li Yao's words, she was silent for a while, and then she said to Li Yao: "What you said is also true, Cheng Boxian is indeed very upright, and he will not be careful, since ancient times, the battlefield is about soldiers who are not tired of deceit, if he is sent to suppress the rebellion, I am afraid it is not appropriate." ”

"The Queen Mother is wise. Li Yao hurriedly clenched his fists to compliment Wu Zetian.

"Then tell me, do you have a suitable candidate?" Wu Zetian asked Li Yao again.

Li Yao tried his best to prevent Cheng Boxian from leading troops to suppress the rebellion, then he must have a suitable candidate in his heart, Wu Zetian thought so.

This is indeed the case, as soon as Wu Zetian's voice fell, Li Yao replied solemnly: "Queen Mother, I recommend Qin Jing, the commander of the inner guards, he is the same as Cheng Boxian, and his own strength is not worse than Cheng Boxian, and his mind is much better than Cheng Boxian, so I recommend him, as long as it is him, I believe that he will definitely be able to suppress Li Chong." ”

"Old Lou, what do you think?" Wu Zetian asked Lou Shide's opinion.

"Qin Jing has been in the palace for many years as the commander of the internal guards, and his actual combat experience is much worse than Cheng Boxian, and he is not as practical as he is talking on paper, so the old minister still resolutely recommends Cheng Boxian. "Lou Shide doesn't know what's wrong today, it's just that he and Li Yao are screwed to the end, Li Yao wants to recommend Qin Jing, he wants to recommend Cheng Boxian.

Li Yao stood aside, and there was a big scolding in his heart when he listened.

Wu Zetian saw that both of them had their own opinions, and she said coldly: "At the beginning of the Bozhou rebellion, the court is still arguing about which general to send to lead the troops to suppress this rebellion, and the mourning family is really disappointed in you." ”

"Queen Mother, if you don't do this, I'll just lead the troops to suppress Li Chong. Li Yao saw Wu Zetian so distressed, and he suddenly said this to Wu Zetian.

As soon as he said this, everyone in the imperial study was stunned again.

Everyone wondered if there was something wrong with their ears, and they misheard what Li Yao said just now, Li Yao actually recommended himself to Wu Zetian, and everyone really didn't know that Li Yao still had the ability to lead troops to fight, so it was not surprising that everyone would be surprised at this time.

Wu Zetian also glared at Li Yao in surprise and said, "You want to lead troops to suppress Li Chong's rebellion, the mourning family heard it right, right?"

"Queen Mother, you heard me right, even if I can't argue with Lord Lou, then there is no need to argue, I can recommend myself directly, Lord Lou, do you still want to fight with me, or you will also lead your own troops to suppress the rebellion!" Li Yaogang was a little angry, so he deliberately said this, the purpose was to anger Lou Shide.

Lou Shide has been arguing with him, which makes Li Yao extremely annoyed, Li Yao is going to take Lou Shide into the army now, and see how Lou Shide, the old bastard, reacts.

Seeing Li Yao's provocative appearance, Lou Shide had to smile bitterly and said to Li Yao: "You kid, you still have that temper, okay, you have recommended yourself, and the old man won't fight with you so much, but it all depends on the meaning of the Queen Mother, who finally decides who will lead the troops to suppress the rebellion, and who will be the commander." ”

"Please let the Queen Mother decide. The ministers took over Lou Shide's words and respectfully shouted to Wu Zetian.

"Then set Qin Jing! Let him lead 100,000 horses and horses to the north to meet Li Chong. Wu Zetian didn't want to dwell on this issue, and immediately set Qin Jing as the commander of the army to suppress the rebellion.

Everyone in the imperial study, seeing that Wu Zetian had set Qin Jing, everyone didn't dare to say much, only nodded in response.
