Li Chengqian sneaked into Li Mu's tent quietly and saw him writing a letter. He glanced behind him, was startled, and said in a voiceless voice: "Brother, you dare to forge an imperial edict?"
"Shit!" After Li Mu finished writing the letter, he put the pen aside to dry the ink, called an archer, and asked him to shoot the letter onto the city wall. He turned around and said to Li Chengqian: "What does it mean to forge an imperial edict? It's just that.
Just a letter!”
"But you wrote it in the name of your father. Isn't this a forged imperial edict?"
"Oh," Li Mu suddenly realized, and said: "That's really it -" He smiled and said: "You are the only one who saw me pretending to preach the imperial edict. Otherwise, I will punish you for being disobedient."
If you kill the boy, won't His Majesty never know about it? If he asks, where did Cheng Qian go? I'll tell him that you were shot to death by the enemy's cold arrow, what do you think?"
"Uh-" Although he knew that Li Mu was joking, Li Chengqian still felt a chill on the back of his neck and said repeatedly: "Brother, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Isn't that okay?"
Li Mu glanced at him, pointed to the maza next to him, and motioned for him to sit down. There was no furniture in the military tent, and this portable maza was the most commonly used one.
Li Mu fell on the soft blanket and said: "It's so late, why are you still not sleeping, why are you coming here to me? The ugly talk is ahead, you can't even think about nagging me to plead for mercy, just say nonsense, I will send it back to you."
"
"Brother, I don't dare anymore." Li Chengqian said hesitantly. He sighed and said: "Brother, I do know that I was wrong. I will listen to you in everything. I just ask you not to tell my father what is going on here.
"
"What?" Li Mu glanced sideways at Li Chengqian and said, "Do you dare to do it or not?"
"I'm afraid that my father will never let me lead the army again." Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Brother, how old am I? I can't ruin my future just because of a small mistake, right?"
"Who ruined your future?" Li Mu thought in his heart, but said: "You are the one who caused the trouble. You don't have to let me tell you if you don't want to. You have to be punished!"
"It's a success!" Li Chengqian agreed without any hesitation and said: "You can punish me however you want, I'll punish you no matter what!"
Li Mu glanced at Li Chengqian up and down and said: "First of all, you must not leave my sight. If I call you and you don't respond within three times, it will be considered a breach of contract. If you breach the contract, I will tell your majesty everything. If you can
Can’t do it?”
Li Chengqian wondered: "Brother, people have three urgent needs. Look -"
"When there are three emergencies, you can ask for leave from me first, and I will send someone to follow you to solve the problem."
"Someone is looking at me and I can't pull it out."
"Then just hold it in!" Li Mu didn't give a single word. He originally thought that after being tempered as an urban management officer, Li Chengqian had transformed. But he was obviously wrong. It's easy to change a country's nature, but it's hard to change a naughty child.
Naughty kid. Li Chengqian's performance these days was beyond Li Mu's expectations, and it was also within his expectations. He still lacked exercise. He had to give him a little bit of training just like he did in the urban management brigade, and then he would get better.
Li Chengqian couldn't explain, he puffed up his cheeks and became silent.
Seeing that the beating was almost done, Li Mu said: "I won't let you participate in anything - if you don't mind, start as a messenger first."
"Really?" Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, like a green light, and said: "Brother! I don't mind it, you can do whatever you want with me!"
Li Mu took out two letters from his arms, handed them to Li Chengqian, and said: "These two letters are for Qingzhou and Zizhou respectively. Take them out and send a fast horse to deliver them. I will send them to you tomorrow at this time."
Saw the reply."
"Okay!" Li Chengqian agreed: "I will go in person!"
"Huh?" Li Mu snorted and said, "Did you forget what you just said in the blink of an eye?"
"Uh," Li Chengqian laughed dryly and said, "I'm going to go to the personal security office and tell you."
Li Mu waved his hand, and Li Chengqian ran out like a rabbit. Li Mu yawned, pulled a corner of the blanket next to him to cover himself, and dozed off in a daze.
…
In the city, the letter was delivered to the banquet.
When Li You heard that a letter had arrived, he climbed up from the lap of the Empress of Daqi and took the letter.
Yin Hongzhi stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, the origin of this letter is unknown. Let's have it checked before reading it." He actually wanted to stop it, but just now he had no idea. The letter was already in Li You's hands, so he couldn't grab it.
.
"What are you checking?" Li You glanced at the paint and font on the letter and said, "It's my father's calligraphy. You've been asking me to practice it since I was a child. You don't know it? What's so good about printing it?"
Yin Hongzhi's original plan was to let Li You compete for the heir apparent, so he wanted him to perform well and try to leave a good impression in front of Li Shimin. However, this idea only existed for a short period of time and was subsequently abandoned.
Empress Changsun was too powerful, and Concubine Yin was too soft-tempered, so she couldn't compete with her. He was outside the palace, and couldn't put in much effort even if he had spare strength.
Li You opened the letter as he spoke. When he saw the second line, Li You's expression became serious. After reading it from beginning to end, he handed the letter to Yin Hongzhi and smacked his lips.
He said, "Uncle, if we don't give up, we won't be able to do it anyway. My father said that if we surrender now, he will forget about it."
"How can your Majesty increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige?"
"That's right, Qizhou has strong soldiers and horses, so we may not be afraid of them."
Li You looked too lazy to respond and just looked at Yin Hongzhi. He was not a fool. Even if he was a fool, he knew that this matter would not succeed. But why did he still do it? Because of the sense of rebellion in his heart.
There is no child who does not yearn for father's love. The same is true for Li You, but because he is a commoner and has a background in the Yin family, he has hardly received any attention from his biological father. Later, Li Mu appeared, and Li You's heart became even more
It's unbalanced. I can't even compare to an outsider? This thought kept swirling in his mind and couldn't be dissipated.
All kinds of miscellaneous stimuli combined, he finally listened to Yin Hongzhi's words and rebelled.
But what kind of rebellion is this? He wouldn't dare to really rebel! His ultimate goal is just to attract Li Shimin's attention.
Li Mu's letter had an unexpected effect. In Li You's heart, he was satisfied to see such a letter. This at least shows that in his father's heart, he, a concubine, still has a status.
Yes, this way he feels much more balanced.
It's not that Li You didn't know how serious the crime of rebellion was. He knew that he would definitely be punished, but he thought in his heart that he would not die. The relationship between father and son is endless, and this letter is proof of it. Also, why not pay it back?
Is the mother and concubine here? The father and the mother and concubine have a very close relationship, and he will still listen to her mother's words.
Yin Hongzhi could see that Li You had the intention to retreat. But how could he retreat now that the matter had come to this? If he retreated now, Li You would not die, but he would definitely die. Risking the annihilation of the Yin clan
The risk, for him to achieve this step, is that he has to shoot when the arrow is on the string, and it is absolutely impossible to retreat. Hearing the words of Yan Hongxin and others, and seeing their reactions, it further strengthened Yin Hongzhi's thoughts. It seems that everyone
He is not stupid, he is now a grasshopper on a rope, and Li You can no longer take charge of matters in Qizhou.
"You're confused, kid!" Yin Hongzhi said in a deep voice, "Did you really believe the content of this letter?"
Li You didn't expect Yin Hongzhi to have such a big reaction. He was stunned and said blankly: "Uncle, there is no need for my father to lie to me. He said that bygones are bygones, and bygones are bygones -"
Suddenly, he understood and said: "If uncle and you are worried that you will be punished, then you can rest assured. The letter has already stated that you will not be punished."
Everyone thought, it is true that father and son have a heart-to-heart relationship, and you two want to go together. If you were not involved in the whole process, everyone would think that it was a plan that the father and son had discussed. Surrender is absolutely impossible, and everyone turned their attention to it.
He turned to Yin Hongzhi and thought to himself, you are the leader, you should come up with an idea!"
Yin Hongzhi sighed and said: "Silly boy, you are still too innocent."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's eyes were a little strange. Even if everyone was already a grasshopper on the same rope, no one would think that Li You had anything to do with the word "Chunliang".
"I won't hide it from you now." Yin Hongzhi said, as if he had been carrying a secret for many years and finally got the chance to tell it: "The soldiers and horses of the imperial court have already arrived outside the city."
"Impossible!" Li You was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Uncle, you can't talk nonsense. Look at this letter, my father is still trying to persuade me, how is it possible that the imperial troops have already arrived? You
You must be lying to me!"
"I lied to you!" Yin Hongzhi sneered and said, "My uncle was worried about you, afraid that you would get angry, so he didn't tell you. Do you know who the general is leading the army? It's Li Mu!" Yin Hongzhi!
Gritting his teeth, he said: "Your father used Li Mu to suppress the rebellion. What do you mean by this?"
Li You showed a struggling look, but still said: "No, my father will not be so heartless."
"You are a bastard!" Yin Hongzhi reminded with a gloomy voice: "For ordinary people, a bastard is worse than an animal or a long-term worker. How about you? Furthermore, don't you know Li Shimin's temperament?
Do you think he would like a son who surrendered in battle? Even if you regret it now, at least you have to win against Li Mu for a while, so that you can show your ability and not be looked down upon by Li Shimin!"
Every word was pierced into Li You's seven inches. Li You gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle is right, I have to fight no matter what to show my ability. Especially against Li Mu, I am even more
We have to fight, and it’s best to kill him in order to relieve the hatred in my heart!”
As he spoke, Li You suddenly stood up and said: "Pass on my order and immediately urge all the prefectures and counties under Qizhou to send additional soldiers to Qizhou City and write a letter of war to Li Mu. Three days later, the east gate will
Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!" Li You showed a struggling look, but still said: "No, my father will not be so heartless."
"You are a bastard!" Yin Hongzhi reminded with a gloomy voice: "For ordinary people, a bastard is worse than an animal or a long-term worker. How about you? Furthermore, don't you know Li Shimin's temperament?
