Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 26

Li Jiancheng naturally understands his father's thoughts, but now he understands, and the top priority is not to struggle with these.

"Aye, the spring ploughing into the ground, the people lack food to satisfy their hunger. If there is no relief at this time, the land of Gyeonggi will be uneasy."

This is just a euphemism, in fact, it is to remind Lao Li that if he doesn't do what they say, the Jihu thing is likely to happen around Chang'an.

Never underestimate your opponent, especially if the opponent has the power to subvert a dynasty enough to prepare them for the worst.

For example, admitting cowardice.

"Alas!" Old Li sighed heavily, he knew that he had neglected, otherwise he would never be so passive.

"Darang, go and tell Duke Dugu, I will let Yuanji come back immediately, but the matter of enthronement still needs to wait, even if it takes a while."

Up to now, Lao Li's rebellious period has been temporarily suppressed.

After all, dad is dad after all.

"Aye, does it make any difference?" Li Shimin was puzzled. Waiting for a day or two more and waiting for a day or two less, the results were not the same.

"Of course it's different." Li Yuan said: "Even if I want to be enthroned, I have to be fully prepared, otherwise it won't be that simple."

In his opinion, if he can't control the timing of his enthronement, he can only do his best to ensure the safety of his enthronement.

The Pingtian crown can only be worn with both hands, never by the hands of others.This is his last bottom line and his only stubbornness.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan then instructed: "Zhiyun, you go out of the city immediately, go to the military camp, and be sure to control the troops and horses in your hands. If you don't see my tiger talisman, you don't need to listen to anyone's orders!"

"Baby obey." Li Zhiyun sighed in his heart and clasped his fists in agreement.

"Shimin!" Li Yuan followed his gaze to the second son.

"The child is here."

"Around Jingzhao, magical powers, magical runes and others have already taken their places, and you are responsible for the center scheduling."

"As ordered."

Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly, Li Shentong and others had unexpectedly been in charge of troops around Chang'an. It seemed that his father's preparations were more complete than he thought.

The sound of hooves was as loud as rain, and Li Zhiyun led his subordinates out of the city on horseback.

The [-] troops currently stationed in the camp ten miles away from Gyeonggi belong to Li Zhiyun, led by Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shufang.

Although Li Zhiyun knew what would happen to Old Li in the future, he did not expect that Dai Sui's journey would be so dangerous.Or is it because of his existence that this process becomes dangerous?This, he did not know.

When they arrived at the camp, Li Zhiyun immediately summoned Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shufang, and ordered them to mobilize their army to prevent accidents.

"Chu Gong, is this going to go on an expedition? Beat Wang Shichong or Xue Ju?" Duan Zhixuan asked Li Zhiyun puzzled.

"Neither." Li Zhiyun shook his head and rubbed the hilt lightly, "It's better to be careful in everything."

Seeing that Li Zhiyun was unwilling to say more, Duan Zhixuan naturally did not continue to ask.However, the doubts in his heart still made him frown.

Duke Chu, generally speaking, he would not be so nervous.

It looks like something big is going to happen recently.

For three days in a row, Li Zhiyun's nerves were always tense.If the road to the emperor is compared to a single-plank bridge, then Li Yuan is undoubtedly walking on the 'fragile' section of the bridge.They didn't know if the Guanlong shareholders who supported the single-plank bridge would threaten them when Lao Li was halfway away.

There is no such possibility.

Fortunately, this kind of thing did not happen.Because soon after, Li Daozong came to deliver a letter on behalf of Lao Li and asked him to lift his guard.

Of course, there is another task.

"I'm afraid it won't be easy to go this time." Li Zhiyun put down the letter and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

Old Li promised Dou and Dugu to change Dou Gui to commander-in-chief of Pingji Hu, and at the same time transferred Li Yuanji back to Chang'an.

Normal people would know how upset Li Yuanji was when he heard the news.

"Tricky." Li Daozong commented, and immediately reminded: "The Prime Minister asked you to set off immediately, and be sure to return to Chang'an before May."

In May, as a result, the date of Lao Li's enthronement should be set in May.

"I see." Li Zhiyun sighed softly.

Li Daozong said: "There are still things in the palace. I, Qianniu, can't go away. I can't go with you this time. I met Yuanji and persuaded me not to cause trouble."

Having said this, Li Daozong looked around and saw that no one was around, so he whispered: "The Prime Minister and Dou Wei have had a quarrel recently, don't annoy him any more."

Li Zhiyun nodded knowingly, "I won't say anything polite. When the big thing is determined, you and I will rest when you are drunk."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you in Chang'an."

The task of recalling Li Yuanji fell on his own head. This was a path that Li Zhiyun never imagined.It seems that the eldest brother and the second brother are still more concerned by their father after all.

Before leaving, Li Zhiyun invited Xie Shufang and Duan Zhixuan.

"I'm going to Huayuan, you come with me."

"What about the army?" Duan Zhixuan asked.

Li Zhiyun's eyes closed slightly, "The Prime Minister's intention is temporarily under the jurisdiction of Uncle Shentong."

"This"

Duan Zhixuan and Uncle Xie looked at each other, full of worry, but didn't know how to say it.The army is not food, and most people are not willing to let go of this kind of thing.In particular, this army is still the direct line of the army that started with them in Jinyang.

Li Zhiyun didn't know what they were thinking, so he said: "All the soldiers and horses in the world belong to the prime minister. You must not mistake yourself."

Seeing this, Duan Zhixuan understood Li Zhiyun and immediately nodded, "I will obey at the end."

At this time, Xue Shou stood up and cupped his hands: "Chu Gong, you can go to Huayuan and be escorted by Uncle Fang alone. Your subordinate is willing to stay with Zhixuan and help Zheng Guogong."

Zheng Guogong, Li Shentong's current title.

Li Zhiyun's eyes fell on Xue Shou's face, and the latter's small eyes seemed to reveal a different look.

That is something called wisdom.

"What does Keming think?" Li Zhiyun looked at Du Ruhui again.

The latter has been accustomed to playing soy sauce, but the smart brain will not be distracted at this time.

"What Xue Gong said is very true."

Li Zhiyun nodded, "Okay, this time Zhixuan and Xue Shou stay. Uncle Fang, Keming, come with me to Huayuan."

"As ordered."

Du Ruhui sighed in his heart, this Duke Chu really doesn't treat himself as an outsider, and he can bring up everything in front of him without any scruples, which makes him feel inexplicably trusted.

This trip strives for speed, so Li Zhiyun lightly dressed and simply followed, and only brought eighteen horses on the road.

On the way, Du Ruhui rode up to catch up with Li Zhiyun.

"Mr. Chu."

"What's wrong with Keming?"

Du Ruhui considered his words and said: "Although Duke Zheng has no military exploits of Duke Qin, he is also one of the righteous actions of Chang'an. In addition, Duke Zheng is older, so it is not surprising that the Prime Minister values ​​more. Duke Chu, you must not have a quarrel with the Prime Minister because of this. Besides, Xue Shou and Duan Zhixuan stay in the army, so Duke Chu needn't worry."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun glanced at him unexpectedly and joked, "I thought Keming was going to learn from Xu Shu."

Du Ruhui laughed dumbly, "My subordinate is not Xu Shu, nor is Duke Chu Cao Cao."

"Haha."

Li Zhiyun chuckled lightly, in a very happy mood, jumped on his horse and ran into the distance.
