Chapter 379 Zhang Xuan's Three Children

Chapter 387 Zhang Xuan's Three Children
Li Heng's expression changed.

Immediately shook his head and said, "Zhang Xuan is cunning, he will definitely not return to Chang'an."

Li Guangbi raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.In fact, he also knew that this was almost impossible to succeed, but other than that, what else could the emperor do?
Li Heng's expression changed for a long time, and he finally made up his mind.He decided to take a gamble, but he didn't believe that Zhang Xuan's subordinates were all soldiers and horses of the imperial court. Could it be that they had no loyalty to the imperial court?
He waved his hand slowly and said, "The decree... the rebellion was initially decided, and the court is really employing people. Canonize Zhang Xuan as the Grand Master, Zhongshu Ling and Minister of Rites, and return to Beijing to assist me in governing. There must be no mistakes Canonized Li Yu, the King of Chu, as the Chief of the Anti-Insurgency March, Li Guangbi as the Deputy Chief of the Anti-Insurgency March, and the Governor of Fanyang. For the crime of defeat, he canonized him as the general manager of the Henan march, and restrained Henan soldiers and horses to guard Tongguan and Henan. Order Zhang Tong to lead the Yulin guards to return to Chang'an as soon as possible to defend me."

Li Guangbi was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him.

It's just that Li Guangbi was slightly worried. The emperor directly issued an edict to take away Zhang Xuan's military power and let Zhang Xuan return to Chang'an to be slaughtered. Will Zhang Xuan be captured without a fight?
However, in Li Guangbi's view, the emperor's edict was issued publicly, and unless Zhang Xuan immediately rebelled, he could not resist the edict.

And even if Zhang Xuan raised troops, Li Guangbi did not believe that all 15 soldiers and horses would follow the thieves.As long as half of them are willing to accept the dispatch of the imperial court and be controlled by him, Li Guangbi, he might not have a chance to fight Zhang Xuan.

More importantly, if he could quickly enter Fanyang to gather the remnants of An Lushan's rebel generals, Li Guangbi felt that he would gather a powerful force in the shortest possible time, and he would have the capital to fight against Zhang Xuan in the future.

Li Guangbi immediately left the palace and led his troops to gallop to Tongguan.

However, Li Heng's edicts were sent out of the palace and went to the towns.

Chen Xilie, who stayed at home to recuperate, got the news that the emperor was going to publicly take away Zhang Xuan's military power, and he couldn't help but sighed on his back.

Li Heng is forcing Zhang Xuan to rebel ahead of time!
Chen Xilie had already vaguely felt that with the deterioration of the relationship between Li Heng and Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan's usurpation of the Tang Dynasty was already unstoppable.And as a political veteran, he knew Zhang Xuan's energy and means well. If Zhang Xuan was determined to compete with Li Heng for the world, how could Li Heng be Zhang Xuan's opponent.

Therefore, Chen Xilie resigned from office and went into seclusion, not planning to get involved again.If Zhang Xuan succeeds in the future, he will definitely have a comeback one day; and if Zhang Xuan fails, he will not accept being implicated.

When Yang Guozhong found out about this, he burst out laughing wildly in the mansion.

Yang Guozhong wanted to see if Zhang Xuan dared to turn against him?The emperor's edict is actually equivalent to pushing Zhang Xuan to the edge of a cliff, and putting a knife across Zhang Xuan's neck-will Zhang Xuan kill him with his neck stretched?
Yang Guozhong is looking forward to it.

And if Zhang Xuan raised his troops to break with the imperial court and took the same path as Anlu Mountain, the world of Tang Dynasty would really be completely chaotic.After this war and chaos, I am afraid that there will not be ten years in the world that cannot recover.

Li Heng's imperial decree went to Luoyang.But at this time, Zhang Xuan ordered Guo Ziyi to guard Luoyang, and the army rested on the spot, instead of going out of Hulao Pass to attack Fan Yang.Of course, before that, Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun, and Li Siye were ordered to lead the Shence Army and the Shenwu Army to pursue An Qingxu, and successively captured Linzhang and other counties. one place.

And Zhang Xuan himself led [-] guards westward to Yongzhou to meet Su Hudong and Li Tengkong's female army.

Su Hudong and Li Tengkong protected Zhang's family members and relatives of some trusted generals around Zhang Xuan arrived in Yongzhou, preparing to leave Tongguan and go to Luoyang.

In fact, Feng Changqing had already sent an army to meet him, but Zhang Xuan was still a little worried, so he led the army over in person.

There is no other reason, because Cui Ying and Yang Sanjie's due date has arrived, and Zhang Xuan doesn't want to make any trouble.

Yongzhou City is now controlled by Zhang Xuan, and the Zhang family is naturally safe and sound in Yongzhou.

Zhang Xuan led his army to gallop into the city gate of Yongzhou, and went straight to a merchant's mansion where his family lived temporarily.Governor Wei Mingbo of Yongzhou led Yongzhou officials to meet him at the gate of the mansion. When he saw Zhang Xuan galloping on horseback, he went forward with a dignified face and shouted, "Your Majesty Wei Mingbo, I pay my respects to your lord!"

Zhang Xuan dismounted from his horse, waved his hand, and more than a hundred soldiers dismounted solemnly.

Zhang Xuan took a step forward, smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wei, for your care. My family is in Yongzhou, and I have caused trouble for Mr. Wei."

"I don't dare. My lord, the two concubines are about to give birth. I have already ordered someone to find the best midwife in Yongzhou and send them to the mansion... My lord, if you need it, please order me down. I will do it right now." Go do it." Wei Mingbo said respectfully.

Zhang Xuan cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Lord Wei. Lord Wei, I'm going to visit Jing Zhuo first, excuse me."

Zhang Xuan left in a hurry, he was anxious to see how Cui Ying and Third Sister Yang were doing, and naturally he didn't want to continue the pleasantries with Wei Mingbo.

Zhang Xuan entered the mansion and, led by several female soldiers, entered the backyard.

Coincidentally, just as Zhang Xuan stepped into the courtyard, Cui Ying, who was joking and chatting with Sanjie Yang, Li Tengkong, Su Hudong, and Hua Nuer, suddenly felt an unbearable abdominal pain, as if she was about to give birth.

The government immediately entered a state of emergency.The midwife and some experienced maids and maids who had been waiting in the mansion rushed over and invited Zhang Xuan and others out of the room.

Cui Ying groaned and screamed in pain in the closed room, and the maids and midwives in the room were constantly busy.

Mother Liu Shi also helped in the room.

Zhang Xuan walked around in the courtyard anxiously, while Su Hudong and Li Tengkong smiled and comforted him, telling him not to worry.And Sanjie Yang was caressing her high protruding belly, also looking a little anxious.

Anxiously waiting, I don't know how long it has passed.

A loud and powerful cry of a child suddenly sounded, echoing in the courtyard.Zhang Xuan was waiting to come forward, a midwife came out with a smile, bowed to Zhang Xuan and said, "Congratulations to the lord, happy son, mother and child are safe, you are a little lord!"

Zhang Xuan was ecstatic, looking up to the sky and laughing loudly.

And Su Hudong, Li Tengkong and other women were also laughing and laughing, and they rushed to the door of the delivery room and were about to go in to visit Cui Ying's mother and son, but Liu blocked the door with a smile, "You girls, don't be so busy! Come in, Ying Er has just given birth, she is tired and can't bear the shock, so come in later."

Mrs. Liu glanced at her son, and Zhang Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects, "Mother!"

Liu Shi smiled, "Xuan'er, mother congratulates you. Now you are a father..."

……

……

Cui Ying gave birth to a son.In fact, for Zhang Xuan, it doesn't matter if they have children, as long as they are his children, he will love them and treat them equally.But for Cui Ying, giving birth to a son is fundamentally different from giving birth to a daughter.As the Zhengfei of Yongning Wang, she gave birth to a son, which is of great significance to her and the Cui family.

This is Zhang Xuan's eldest son.

Zhang Xuan sat quietly on the edge of the bed, leaning over to look at his son who was still unable to open his eyes, and lovingly staring at Cui Ying who fell asleep because of extreme exhaustion and exhaustion, with a strange tenderness floating in his heart.

Two days later.Third Sister Yang has also entered the countdown to giving birth. Compared with Cui Ying, Third Sister Yang is older and has experience in giving birth, so she is not in a hurry.

In the afternoon, the third sister Yang gave birth smoothly, and it turned out to be a pair of twin daughters.

Standing in the courtyard, Zhang Xuan was a little stunned when he got the news from the midwife, and then burst out laughing happily.

In a few days, Zhang Xuan became a father in a blink of an eye. Wouldn't it be a great joy to have a son and two twin daughters!
Third Sister Yang was slightly disappointed.She thought she could give birth to a son for Zhang Xuan, but in the end she gave birth to two daughters.Although his son and daughter are his darlings, they are still somewhat different after all.Especially Cui Ying just gave birth to a son.

Zhang Xuan grabbed Third Sister Yang's hand with a smile, leaned into her ear and said softly, "Daughter is better, daughter is well-behaved and sensible, and she will be more considerate when she grows up."

Third Sister Yang sighed softly, "Xuan Lang, the slave family actually still wants to give birth to a son for you..."

"It doesn't matter, I'll be born later..." Before Zhang Xuan could speak, Li Tengkong walked in from the outside, smiled narrowly, and took over the conversation.

Third Sister Yang blushed and closed her eyes in silence.

……

……

The news spread that the King of Yongning had a son and a second daughter. Yongzhou Inspector Wei Mingbo led his officials to congratulate him, and some prominent figures in the upper echelons of Yongzhou also sent posts to congratulate him.

Zhang Xuan was in a good mood and hosted a banquet for everyone.

After drinking for three rounds, a soldier hurried in and whispered something in Zhang Xuan's ear.

Zhang Xuan's complexion changed, and the corner of his mouth immediately condensed into a cold arc.

He suddenly got up and clasped his fists to Wei Mingbo and the others, "I'm sorry, everyone, I have urgent military affairs, so I'm not going to accompany you first. Brothers, entertain everyone for me!"

Zhang Huan and Zhang Ning quickly responded.

Zhang Xuan left in a hurry, left Yongzhou an hour later, and returned to Luoyang.

Zhang Xuan had to go back, the emperor's edict had already arrived in Luoyang, and Li Guangbi also led an army of [-] to Luoyang at the same time.

Zhang Xuan was somewhat surprised by Li Heng's public edict to seize power.He did not expect that Li Heng would have such courage and courage.However, the accident was an accident, but it didn't make Zhang Xuan confused.

***********************************
Luoyang.

Li Yu and Li Guangbi entered the city together, but Guo Ziyi, who was guarding the city, did not stop them.After all, Zhang Xuan is still a court official in name at this moment. When the emperor's edict and imperial envoy arrive, he cannot stop him as a guard.

While walking, Li Yu lowered his voice and whispered to Li Guangbi, "Shuai Li, this time I'm waiting to come to Luoyang, I'm afraid I have to be careful, lest..."

Li Yu glanced at Guo Ziyi and others not far away, with a deep worry floating between his brows.
