Chapter 383: Family and Country (2)

Chapter 383: Family, Country, World (2)

"Eunuch Bian, do you still know me?" Chen Sangui saw Bian Lingcheng walk out of the camp gate, and then left his ankle and quickly met him.

Bian Lingcheng was shining directly at the sunlight and could not see his face clearly. When he approached, he suddenly realized that the person coming was Chen Sangui and Li Longji's deputy bodyguard team.

He seemed to be seeing a ghost in broad daylight, and he suddenly became panicked. Chen Sangui's arrival meant that Li Longji knew about his military training in Tian.

More than a dozen soldiers found that the situation was different and surrounded Bian Lingcheng, which also relieved Bian Lingcheng's nervousness slightly. He calmed down and asked, "Guard Chen, where are you from?"

Chen Sangui's smile remained the same, not moved by the vicious eyes beside him. He took out a letter and said leisurely: "This is written by your former master, do you want to read it?"

Bian Lingcheng's heart immediately jumped up with nervousness, "Dong!Dong!", and he looked around and said, "This is my old friend, there is no malice, you guys retreat first!"

He then stared at the letter in Chen Sangui's hand and said: "Guard Chen, please go to the tent to discuss in detail!"

"Eunuch Bian, do you know that the Supreme Emperor wants to make a comeback?" Chen Sangui just sat down and went straight to the point.

Bian Lingcheng was silent. Everyone knew about this matter in Chang'an, but he didn't know how he didn't know. For this reason, he hid in Fengtian County to train troops. One of the reasons was that he didn't want Li Longji to know that he had returned to Beijing, but they actually found him.

"Is that letter to me?" Bian Lingcheng's voice began to tremble slightly.

"Natural!" Chen Sangui smiled and handed the letter over. He seemed to be rough, but in fact he was extremely meticulous. He picked up the tea cup and sucked the tea carefully, but he took every subtle movement and every subtle expression of Bian Lingcheng into his eyes.

Bian Lingcheng's face turned extremely pale, and his whole body was trembling slightly. Li Longji severely scolded his betrayal in his heart and gave him a chance. If he led his troops to surrender, he would be appointed as the general of Zuo Yulin Army and the Duke of Fengtian County in the future. If he was obsessed with it, he would be used to warn the eunuchs in the future.

Although Li Longji did not say anything to warn the eunuch, Bian Lingcheng still guessed from Chen Sangui's knife-like gaze that he might have to peel himself.

One of Bian Lingcheng's biggest advantage over other eunuchs was that he knew Li Qing very well. As early as in Anxi, he clearly saw from the fact that Li Qing seized Gao Xianzhi's power and that he was a kind-hearted person, and he did not have any affection.

So now, although it seems that Li Qing takes charge of the court and the emperor is just a decoration, Bian Lingcheng knows very well that even if it is a decoration, Li Qing has chosen Li Yu. He will never allow Li Longji to be restored again. Li Longji's idea is really wishful thinking. Once Li Qing returns to shock, the conflict between him and Li Longji is inevitable. Although everyone supports Li Longji now, if there is no military power, there is no use.

After a long time, he finally raised his head and said word by word: "Guard Chen, please tell the Supreme Emperor that Bian Lingcheng will never dare to take the Lord!"

Perhaps he was confused by Bian Lingcheng's fear, Chen Sangui didn't hear Bian Lingcheng's words were ambiguity. He immediately stood up and bowed and smiled, "It's best for Eunuch Bian to understand the general situation! I'll reply to Your Majesty now, waiting for your good news!"

As soon as Chen Sangui left, Bian Lingcheng gradually kneaded the letter into a ball. He resolutely stood up and strode to the tent outsider: "I order my brothers to pack up immediately and follow me to the camp elsewhere!"

Li Yu was mixed in the carriage of Fang Guan, the Minister of Rites, and returned to the Daming Palace. Fang Guan did not ask much about the strange behavior of this powerless emperor. The Supreme Emperor knew that he went to various ministers' houses to win over support. Li Yu should be the same. I don't know whose mansion he went to last night. Fang Guan felt very glad that he did not come to find him, otherwise it would be difficult for him to balance the two. Since he didn't want to care, the best way is not to talk about the main topic.

Therefore, Fang Guan said the words "Be careful of your health and get a noble son early" and did not mention a single sentence of political affairs. It has been a good way to hide the following principles since ancient times.

However, Li Yu was really exhausted. The popularity of the military performance last night was over. Fang Guandong's rambling words made him even more drowsy. He dragged his tired body back to the imperial study room and immediately closed the door, ordering that no one should disturb him today.

But just after noon, Bian Lingcheng's urgent request for a visit drove his fatigue without a trace. The Supreme Emperor already knew that he was training the private army.

Li Yu paced back and forth uneasyly in the room with his hands behind his back. The room was very hot. He took out a veil from time to time to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead. Since Li Mi implicitly told him that the Supreme Emperor had regained his ambition, Li Yu no longer had the luxury of overthrowing Li Qing to seize power. How to preserve his throne is the top priority.

He also knew that if he wanted to save his throne, it was unreliable to rely on the Yulin Army. He had to have an army in his hands to save his life. Fortunately, Bian Lingcheng did not betray him, so he finally saved his only dependence.

"Your Majesty, Shangshu Li is here, waiting to see you outside the door!"

"Please come in!" Li Yu sighed secretly, and a hint of regret in his heart. Today he finally understood the true meaning of the master's support for him. Li Qing's autocracy was not scary. What was scary was Li Longji, who was unwilling to be lonely and a group of princes who hated him to the core. Only when he sat firmly on the throne and Li Longji went, could he consider the issue of regaining the imperial power.

"My Message Li Mi, please see Your Majesty!" Li Mi bowed respectfully to Li Yu and leaned on the ground without moving.

Li Yu's nose suddenly felt sour, and a strong sense of guilt almost made him kneel down, but Bian Lingcheng was right beside him, causing him to restrain his impulse.

"Master, please get up!" Li Yu gently helped Li Mi up, and personally moved an embroidery pier to ask him to sit down.

A 'Master' made Li Mi stunned. He looked at Li Yu blankly, and suddenly read a hint of repentance from his eyes. Li Mi felt a sense of sadness. He finally understood his painstaking efforts.

At this point, Li Yu didn't want to hide it anymore. His lips moved, but he didn't know how to speak. Finally, he had to bite the bullet and whisper: "Master, Bian Lingcheng has trained three thousand troops for me. I shouldn't hide it from my master!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Mi's eyes. He seemed to have thought of something, and immediately turned around and asked Bian Lingcheng, "Is it the army of Fengtian?"

Li Yu was stunned, "The master already knows?"

Li Mi smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "It's not an ant hidden underground, there are three thousand people. How could I not know that someone from the Ministry of War has reported this."

Speaking of this, Li Mi's face suddenly changed drastically, and his eyes stared straight out the window. He suddenly remembered that the Minister of War was Wang Changling. Since he knew, Li Qing must have known that Fengtian had been in the army for almost half a month, but Li Qing let it go, could it be?









Li Mi was already sweating all over. He suddenly realized that Li Qing left Li Longji in Mawei Slope, probably for today. Was he the one who set up this bureau? Otherwise, how would he explain that he personally led the Eastern Expedition?

"Master, what happened?"

Li Yu noticed that Li Mi looked strange, and he asked worriedly: "Does the Ministry of War want to accept this army?"

Li Mi frowned, and he shook his head slowly, "No, don't worry!"

Now things are getting more and more complicated. He found that even if he saw Li Qing's conspiracy, he could not break the situation. Li Longji was already imperative. This is a typical fight between cranes and clams, and the fisherman gained profits. But the problem is that he still can't see through Li Qing's focus? If he wants to change to establish someone else, he can just find an excuse to depose Li Yu. Why do he have to go around this big bend? Even if Li Mi wanted to break the head, he would never have expected that King Si Ning's legitimate grandson was just his grandson, the son of Li Qing.

"Master, the Supreme Emperor already knows Bian Lingcheng's military training and has sent someone to win him over. What should I do now?" Li Yu's Fangcun was in chaos, and now Li Mi was his only support.

Li Mi's thoughts were pulled back. He pondered for a moment and asked Bian Lingcheng first: "Where are your soldiers stationed now?"

"I have led my army to leave Fengtian in the morning and are now in Gaoling County."

"Then you will bring the army back tonight, don't enter the city, circle the city and stay outside the Chongxuan Gate!"

After saying that, Li Mi hurriedly turned around and said to Li Yu: "Your Majesty will move the prince into the palace and live there immediately, and issue an edict to ask Li Qing for help. I will go find Li Fei Yuanli now and find out his tone first to see if he can help us!"

"Has things reached this point?"

When Li Yu heard that he wanted to move the prince to the Daming Palace, he finally began to have an ideology that was even more serious than he thought. His lips were bitten white, and his eyes were staring at Li Mi's eyes tightly and said, "Master tell me the truth, what step has the Supreme Emperor done."

Li Mi sighed softly, "Yesterday, Wei Jiansu has been to see him for the second time. He stayed in Xingqing Palace for half an hour. I think even Wei Jiansu has expressed his opinion, and his preparation is almost over. I originally planned that His Majesty would be better off going out to Tongguan to reward the soldiers, at least to save his life. Now that there is an army, the situation is different. We can definitely compete with him. Now the key is the attitude of the Yulin Army. If they can stand on our side...

Speaking of this, Li Mi's eyes gradually became fierce, and he said firmly: "Then we might as well take the initiative!"



Li Mixiang started to move around without stopping. He first found Li Fei Yuanli, the right central general of the Yulin Army who was responsible for defending the chaotic chamber. Now he has become the most critical piece in the entire chess game. If his guess is true, Li Qing will definitely explain something to Li Fei Yuanli in advance.

The base camp of the Yulin Army was in Xineiyuan, where there were lodges and official offices. Originally, the chief, marching Sima, judge, six Cao and other civil officials were all prepared. However, Li Longji's escape caused all civil officials to be lost. No one cleaned up the official office, and a man-tall weed had grown. In the middle of winter, the grass and trees were withered and deserted, and it was indescribable that it was sad and deserted. However, Li Fei Yuanli did not have so many literati's feelings of sadness in autumn. In his opinion, such a spacious and elegant house was thousands of times better than the cave he lived in when he was the leader of the horse bandit, than the military camp he slept when he was a Tang general. As for the artemisia, what would it be like?

Due to the lack of troops, most of the soldiers went on duty. Only the soldiers who came back from shift change last night were having lunch. A soldier pointed for a long time before Li Mi saw Li Fei Yuanli holding a big bowl, squatting in the crowd of soldiers like a bandit leader, digging rice with relish, without any majesty of General Zhongwu. At this time, he received a notice from the soldiers, poked up his huge head and looked here for a while, and suddenly saw Li Mi. He grinned, his expression as if Li Mi was a delicious dish.

"Let's have some together!" Li Fei Yuanli strode forward and smiled. "Thank you! I've eaten it. I've come to General Li Fei for the important matter."

Li Mi glanced at the messy scene and gave Li Fei Yuanli a wink, meaning that he would talk to another place. Li Fei Yuanli laughed and put on a pose of invitation, "Please talk to my official office!"

"Li Shangshu is in charge of the Ministry of War. Speaking of which, it is still our soldiers' superiors, but I have never visited him once. It is really rude!" Li Fei Yuanli said that he was rude, but he sat down with a big cup of tea, and never thought of pouring a glass of water for his "protagonist".

Li Mi didn't care about this. He pondered for a moment and then said straight to the point: "General Li Fei is responsible for the security of the palace, and the responsibility is serious. But the emperor said that there are often strange faces in the palace recently, which made him very worried. Moreover, in the past, the officials' carriages were not allowed to enter the Danfeng Gate, but now it seems that they don't care. Even those coaches and horses can step onto the important places of the court's military aircraft in a noble manner. It is really inappropriate. I wonder if it is because of the insufficient military strength of the Yulin Army or other reasons?"

Li Fei Yuanli laughed and said bluntly: "Shu Li asked frankly. I like it. It's not like Shangshu Fang. Shangshu Pei asked so much that he couldn't say anything for a long time. It's so annoying. It's not that I have enough troops. These thousand people have to take care of the front palace and manage the inner palace. They have to be divided into two shifts. It's really a bit difficult to catch the elbows, so some places are relaxed a little, but the emperor's personal safety will not be problematic, and as long as the general comes back, this situation can be solved. Shangshu Li please tell the emperor, it's soon! How many more days can I endure it?"

"Is there news from the Prime Minister?"

Li Mi suddenly heard the clues in Li Fei Yuanli's words. Li Qing led his troops eastward, but there was no news yet, and he didn't know what the war was going on? Only some merchants said that the army arrived in Zhengzhou and Heyang, but these were all rumors in the city and could not be true. According to the principle, the Ministry of War should control the movements of the army at any time, but there was no news yet. It is obvious that Li Qing specially blocked the war situation, and Li Fei Yuanli was Li Qing's confidant, so he should know something.

Li Fei Yuanli's eyes flashed, and he bowed forward slightly and lowered his voice: "I just got some news, but I'm not hiding it from the Shangshu. Li Xiangguo has taken Xiangzhou and is on his way back to Beijing. As for where he is now, I don't know."

The anxiety in Li Mi's eyes was undoubtedly revealed, and he was a little restless. Li Qing returned to Beijing, which means that Li Longji's actions were about to begin.

The guard's big red and black stick was fast and fierce, falling like raindrops. Chen Sangui gritted his teeth and slapped the stick hard. His face turned pale, and beads of sweat were already flowing all over his face. Li Longji's gaze next to him was terrible. If his eyes could kill people, Chen Sangui had already died many times.

Since he decided to restore the throne, all the plans have been smooth. Except for military power, all the plans have been implemented one by one. Even the hardest-to-kill Di Wuqi expressed his neutral position with silence. But in the easiest part, he unexpectedly recruited Bian Lingcheng. Fengtian's soldiers disappeared, but Bian Lingcheng appeared in the Daming Palace. In this way, his plan was disrupted.

Li Longji stared at Chen Sangui fiercely. All this was caused by this idiot. He did not stare at Bian Lingcheng, but came back first. Li Longji was extremely upset. He just received the news that Li Qing had taken Xiangzhou five days ago. Although the army was walking slowly, he should have arrived in Luoyang. He had no time anymore. Chen Xuanli's soldiers have not been prepared yet. In his words, the military discipline has been abandoned for a long time and it will take at least three months to form an army.

At this time, Luo Fengxian walked quickly to Li Longji. He secretly glanced at Chen Sangui who was already dying, and reported the report with a little fear. "The Supreme Emperor, General Chen is here!"

"Take him to my quiet room!"

Li Longji glanced at Chen Sangui coldly, made an unforgivable gesture, and turned around and walked towards Jingshi.

After a moment, Chen Xuanli was taken into the quiet room. His face was quite haggard and exhausted. This was because he had not slept for two nights. Li Longji ordered him to complete the army within ten, but these Yulin troops used to be deserted for training, and now they have been lost for nearly a year and are no different from the people in the city. He recruited them in the form of a private army. The soldiers thought they had given too little money and food, and the officers were not satisfied with getting the title of false title. He worked as if he was exhausted and rushed for several days before he could barely calm them down.

It has only been less than ten days of training, and Li Longji ordered him to form an army within three days. Now he is asked to come again, so something may have happened.

Before Chen Xuanli could sit down, Li Longji went straight in and said, "Your son may use it tonight?"

"Tonight?" Chen Xuanli felt the darkness in front of him, and he was almost shocked. He took a deep breath and hurriedly said, "The Supreme Emperor, they have been wasted for too long and have almost no combat power. Give me another five days. In five days, I will definitely pull out an army."

Li Longji's face suddenly sank, and he snorted heavily, "If you wait five days later, Li Qingqing has already come back early, so you can't wait any longer. I have decided to do it tonight!"
