The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 110
"Li Yifu, what are you sighing for? Tell me, I will listen." His Majesty Li Er's eyes fell on Li Yifu.

Hearing the words, Li Yifu got up and went out, knelt on the side of the civil servants, held the Wuban in his hands, first saluted His Majesty Li Er, and then said: "I heard that Tubo confronted our Tang army in Hanzhou, and there were [-] soldiers on the way. Going straight to Longxi, the Ministry of War has received a report that the [-] troops of Tubo are going in the direction of Shicheng, why the Ministry of War concealed it and did not report it!"

"There is such a thing?" His Majesty Li Er narrowed his eyes.

"What? Such an important military situation, but it is concealed and not reported. What are the people in the Ministry of War doing?" Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin yelled, his son is now leading people to guard Shicheng, and the Ministry of War has made such a big mistake. Conceal and not report, what can those people in Shicheng do?

Before His Majesty Li Er could speak, a group of civil servants below had already started discussing in a low voice, some were discussing the matter of the Tubo army in Shicheng, and some were discussing the matter of the Ministry of War's omission.

Officials from the same poor family as Li Yifu were whispering: "This cat Li is usually very cautious, and he doesn't show himself. Why is he so active today?"

"That's right, his few words offended the Ministry of War."

"Let's stay away from him in the future, so as not to be dragged down by him."

Of course Li Yifu could hear their whispers, he sneered in his heart, he was not sure, he would offend the officials of the Ministry of War?Leaving aside the fact that Shicheng is guarded by Cheng Chumo, the eldest son of Duke Lu's mansion, there is another person who holds a lot of weight in His Majesty's heart. At this time, he is also in the Kunlun area of ​​Longxi.

The person Li Yifu was talking about was Xuan Shijing. He also happened to know that Xuan Shijing was going back to Chang'an, and now he is probably around Shicheng. Xuan Shijing and Cheng Chumo are good friends, and they will definitely go to Shicheng to visit Cheng Chumo. I understand, so he is in Bo, whether the weight of Bo Xuan Shijing in His Majesty Li Er's heart is still the same as before.

Immediately, Li Yifu said again: "Your Majesty Qizuo, not only Young Master Cheng is guarding Shicheng, but there is another person in the city. I don't know if Your Majesty knows."

"Oh? Who is it?" His Majesty Li Er asked curiously.

"Mr. Xuanwei, Xuan Shijing." Li Yifu said loudly.

Now Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and Li Xiaogong are all in a state of shock, and even His Majesty Li Er felt a thump in his heart.

"Xiao Jing'er sent a letter back home a few days ago saying that she was going back to Chang'an, and she probably arrived in Shicheng. Knowing that Chu Mo is in Shicheng, she will definitely go." Yu Chigong said.

"Who is in charge of the military department these days? Why, after that old guy Li Jing left, the military department has become like this? The servant of the military department will come out to this old man. If I don't beat you up today, I will feel sorry for Tieniu and Tie Niu who are far away in Shicheng." Little Jinger." With Cheng Yaojin's violent temper, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to hit someone in the hall, so frightened that the Minister of the Ministry of War quickly hid behind his colleagues.

Fortunately, Li Xiaogong and Qin Qiong kept holding Cheng Yaojin, otherwise, Cheng Yaojin would be really capable of beating people in the court.

"Okay, Zhijie, please stay safe and don't be impatient." His Majesty Li Er, who was sitting high at the head of the hall, said, "The most urgent thing is how to solve the matter in Shicheng. You are in charge of the Ministry of War, so tell me what to do about this matter."

His Majesty Li Er's words can be regarded as finding a way for the Minister of the Ministry of War. As long as he comes up with a practical solution, Cheng Yaojin will appease him.

The Minister of the Ministry of War straightened his somewhat wrinkled official uniform, came out with a black board in his hand, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I thought that Shicheng was far away in Longxi, far away from Chang'an. Now the [-] Tubo army has arrived in Shicheng for some time. No matter how Chang'an responds, it is already too late, why not send troops to the Yang Pass around Shicheng."

Although he knew that what the minister of the Ministry of War said was the truth, Cheng Yaojin's anger still could not be appeased: "Yangguan pass is dangerous, let alone how many soldiers can be dispatched, even if it is eight hundred miles to rush to Yangguan from Chang'an, it will not be too late." It will take three or four days, and it will take five days to send troops from Yangguan to Shicheng.”

"Maybe Shicheng has already gone to Yangguan to ask for help, that's not certain." After saying this, there was faint sweat on the forehead of the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Up and down the court, who doesn't know that His Majesty is very precious to Xuan Shijing, and all these years, Empress Changsun's body is safe and sound, and it is all supported by the precious medicinal materials that Xuan Shijing brought back from West Kunlun. If something happens to Shi Jing, His Majesty Li Er will go crazy if he fails to keep it together.

"Forget it, send a letter to Hanzhou in eight hundred miles, and tell Li Jing that the battle will be resolved quickly." His Majesty Li Er said, Cheng Chumo is also a general, and it is safe to hold Shicheng for a while, so the only way now is Li Jing Depending on the battle on the big battlefield, it will shock the entire Tubo. Li Er also believes that Li Jing has this ability.

"Dear dears, is there anything else you want to play?" His Majesty Li Er asked, he still has some thoughts about Shicheng in his heart, but he is helpless. Shicheng is not very important, but If it is not important, it is a commercial road leading to the Western Regions. If Shicheng is lost, the impact will not be said to be insignificant.

There was silence in the hall.

"In this case, let's go." His Majesty Li Er said.

Standing aside, Deyi shouted loudly: "Back to court~~~"

All the ministers bowed and saluted, and His Majesty Li Er got up and left Tai Chi Palace.

After retreating from court, Li Yifu walked out of the Taiji Palace with a smile on his face. Several colleagues beside him were chatting in low voices, occasionally looking at Li Yifu.

The two people who had made good friends with Li Yifu walked up to Li Yifu, and said with worried faces: "Li Mao, Li Mao, you have offended the Ministry of War badly, you should be more careful in the future."

In the imperial court, there are so many people who are mediocre. Although they are from a poor family, Li Yifu has a thorough understanding of this, but these two people are loyal, and they don't respect themselves like others, and they are in a good mood. Li Yifu also Just explained a few words to them.

"It's nothing to offend the Ministry of War, but you have to know the importance of Xuan Shijing in His Majesty's heart, as well as the few lords in the court just now, which of them didn't regard Xuan Shijing as their own descendant, you guys are still too young. "

Li Yifu's words were quite late, the two of them were taken aback for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it was really the case. Offending a servant of the Ministry of War, and the Minister of the Ministry of War is Li Jing. The favor of the Duke and His Majesty, this deal is worth it.

"Hey, let me tell you, you really didn't get the title Li Mao for nothing." One person exclaimed.

Li Yifu smiled and did not answer.
