Li You never imagined that a few hours ago, he would be called "Your Majesty" by these people. A few hours later, they would all gather against him. They were so angry that they yelled: "You damn bastards! I treat you badly! I treat you badly!"
You are not weak! You actually turned your back on me, and I want to kill them with a thousand knives!"
Li Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard his confusing self-proclaimed words. The stimulation the child received was really too much.
"Xiao Youyou, although you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, you have committed a crime that will lead to death. I heard that you rebelled and have something to do with me. Now that we are face to face, how can you tell me how you offended me?
Didn’t you? Didn’t I just beat you up? You did something wrong, shouldn’t I beat you up? The matter has already passed, why are you so small-minded? "
"You fart!" Even though Li You was restrained, he jumped up when he heard this: "My dearest prince, who do you think you are, beating me?"
Li Mu raised his hand, and Li You quickly retracted it. Li Mu laughed loudly when he saw this, and said: "Come on, I won't deal with you anymore, let your father deal with you later. Don't worry, I'm not as petty as you, as long as you
Honestly, I will not give you poisoned wine, and you can eat whatever you want."
"You!" Li Mu said this. Li You originally thought of poisoning, but now that he has thought of it, he didn't dare to eat any more food.
Li Mu looked at Yin Hongzhi, took off the whip from his waist, and fired four whips with his bow left and right. Yin Hongzhi was beaten to pieces, but he was still very tough and didn't say a word.
"Well done!" Li Mu stopped fighting and said, "I just want to ask you, what are you trying to do?"
There was a sneer at the corner of Yin Hongzhi's mouth, and he said in front of Li You: "I couldn't kill Li Shimin, but I was able to kill Qi Wang Li You! Killing a son of the Li family can be considered worthy of my late father!"
After that, Yin Hongzhi looked up to the sky and screamed: "Father, I have finally avenged you..."
Before he finished speaking, he was slapped again, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. Li You looked at Yin Hongzhi and was in a daze. He had grown up with Yin Hongzhi since he was a child, and he had never thought that his uncle had no feelings for him at all.
He is really taking advantage of himself.
"take away!"
Li Mu gave the order, waved his hand fiercely, and immediately pounced on several people. After a while, one of the strong men suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist, laughed ferociously, and shouted: "Quan Changshi, you have a spirit in heaven.
My subordinates will avenge you!"
Before Li Mu could stop him, the man grabbed Yin Hongzhi's hair and stabbed his eyes hard with the dagger. Before Yin Hongzhi could react, he let out a cry of pain, and his eyes were already covered in blood and flesh.
The man was afraid that Li Mu and others would stop him, so he immediately thrust the sharp dagger into Yin Hongzhi's throat. With a swish, blood suddenly surged out like a fountain. The man looked up to the sky and laughed, his knees suddenly weakened again, and he knelt on the ground.
, burst into tears.
Li Mu knew that this person was an old member of Quan Wanji, so he sighed, waved his hand, and asked someone to take him down. According to the rules, killing should be punished with death, but this situation was different. Yin Hongzhi's crime was extremely heinous, and he deserved his death. There was no regrets in his death.
. This person was the person who had just followed him through fire and water. Besides, he was avenging his master. He was a loyal servant and a righteous man. It was not easy to criticize him harshly. Li Mu had already decided to find an opportunity to secretly let the person go when he returned.
At this moment, of course, there is still no 100% trust in the generals who have surrendered. Those people have just deserted their old masters and have no face to meet them, so they are happy to do so. As for King Qi’s family, although
He is the son of the emperor, but he is rebelling. No one is sure how the emperor will deal with it. Therefore, as the family members of the rebels, the princesses were also detained, and these people were sent by the generals.
People were in charge, and only one person, General Wang, was asked to take charge.
After that, Li Mu wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to Li Ji to inform him of the situation here. The person appointed was Jiang Zhen. Li Mu thought so. After what he had just accomplished, General Wang had made great contributions.
, but Jiang Zhen was outside the courtyard wall, catching nothing. When it came time to give rewards based on merit, Jiang Zhen, as the introducer of General Wang, did not get any merit, and his appearance was not good, so naturally he had to give him a share of credit, called
He went to show his face to Li Ji and share some of the credit.
Only in this way will things be considered complete.
After finishing these things, Li Mu went to rest. There were countless vacant guest rooms in the huge Qi Palace, and Li Mu didn't pick any of them. He just found a room and fell asleep. But he didn't know that what happened here has already been revealed.
With lightning speed, the news spread back to Chang'an.
…
In the city of Dezhou, Li Ji's army had just arrived. As soon as the army arrived, the city of Dezhou was immediately panicked.
With so many soldiers and horses appearing here, if the King of Qi comes to fight, then this is the battlefield!
Li Ji... thought so too, so as soon as the army arrived, he ordered all the soldiers and horses to immediately form horn-shaped stations to assist each other. At the same time, they dug trenches and blocked the horses, and the defense work was meticulous.
Li Jineng was the second person under Li Jing. How could it be due to luck? He never looked down on any enemy. He was both bold and cautious in his military use. This was his characteristic.
Immediately, Li Ji summoned the military generals from various states who had arrived to discuss the matter in the central military tent. However, everyone had just arrived. The local officials in Dezhou did not know how to stand because the rebel was the emperor's own son.
, the situation in Qizhou is not clear either.
In fact, even if they inquired, they really couldn't find out anything, because the King of Qi had sealed off the city from the beginning and cut off contact with the outside world. But they really couldn't imagine that someone would rebel like this, and they would inevitably be clever.
Wrong, I guess King Qi must do something shocking.
As a result, before everyone could come up with a solution, Jiang Zhen sent shocking news.
Li Mu has put down the rebellion——
Although it was expected, Li Ji was still surprised. Didn't he say a few days ago that he would wait for an opportunity to sneak in? How could he finish the matter so quickly?
The matter was over, and we were still discussing the matter. It was already dusk. It was too late to go to Qizhou today, so Li Ji dismissed his generals and told the three armies to break up camp early tomorrow morning and rush to Qizhou.
At night, the night falls.
A group of people arrived at Li Jizhong's army tent.
Unlike Cheng Yaojin and others, Li Ji's martial arts was not outstanding. He was a counselor and commander, not a general. He had a sword with him, but rarely used it. His personal safety mainly relied on the protection of his own soldiers.
Out of his cautious nature, Li Ji had three layers of guards outside his Chinese army tent. It was almost impossible to arrive at his Chinese army tent without disturbing the guards.
But someone came and did it.
Li Ji looked at Yuan Tiangang in the tent, was silent for a while, and then said with a smile: "I really don't know, Taoist Master's kung fu is so good. Why did the Taoist Master come to visit late at night?"
"Here is an imperial edict." Yuan Tiangang got straight to the point and handed Li Ji a box. Li Ji took it and opened it, and there was indeed a bright yellow imperial edict inside.
Unfolding the imperial edict, Li Ji read it through the moonlight, his face as gloomy as water.
"Whether this imperial edict is true or false needs to be confirmed."
Yuan Tiangang smiled and said: "Does the general also use such tricks? Is it because you don't recognize His Majesty's calligraphy, or do you not recognize the jade seal on it? Does the general want to rebel if he refuses to obey the order?"
"This general just wants to confirm the authenticity of the imperial edict!" Li Ji said in a deep voice: "As long as I send a messenger back and get your majesty's confirmation, Li Ji will definitely carry out the edict and dare not disobey it at all. Is it a false accusation if the Taoist priest said that I rebelled?
?”
"We will go to Chang'an here, and it will take at least half a month, and at most a month. Does the general want to send a message?"
"General, I don't understand what the Taoist priest is saying." Li Ji snorted and shouted: "Come here!"
The sound of uniform footsteps sounded outside the tent, and more than a dozen spears pierced the curtain, approaching less than a foot away from Yuan Tiangang. In this case, even if Yuan Tiangang had the ability to reach heaven, he would not be able to escape death.
Li Ji looked at Yuan Tiangang and said, "Taoist Priest, please stop forcing yourself. If Taoist Priest insists on showing no mercy, I will have no choice but to make a move."
"Will the general also come up with a strategy?" Yuan Tiangang asked with a smile: "Then I don't know what the strategy is?"
Li Ji said coldly: "If the Taoist priest is forcing you to fight hard, then I, the general, have never seen the Taoist priest, and I have never seen the imperial edict."
"The general is really ruthless." Yuan Tiangang understood what Li Ji meant. In short, it was four words: "kill people and silence them." Yuan Tiangang's order to Li Ji was a secret order, and no one could testify. And the soldiers outside the tent
, are all Li Ji's close confidants. It is impossible for them to betray Li Ji. After killing themselves, as long as Li Ji dies without seeing him, not even Li Shimin can do anything to him.
After understanding this truth, Yuan Tiangang did not struggle and just said: "General, I would like to advise you that the content of the imperial edict is what your Majesty has in mind. If the general insists on resisting the edict, the consequences will be -"
Yuan Tiangang didn't finish speaking. He turned around and followed the soldiers. He heard a message: "General, I'll wait for three days!"
Li Ji grabbed the imperial edict in his hand, sweating profusely.
…
When Li Mu woke up, it was already noon the next day. What he saw when he opened his eyes was the mountain-like Aunt Rong. Looking at the ax in Aunt Rong's hand, Li Mu was very frightened. He remembered that he and Aunt Rong
But I have a grudge. If I give myself such a blow while I am sleeping, will I still be alive?
"The lady is waiting for you."
Seeing that Li Mu had woken up, Aunt Rong lowered her eyebrows and said submissively. Regardless of any hatred, the moment Li Mu and Mrs. Lu recognized each other, Aunt Rong became Li Mu's slave.
"Oh," Li Mu responded and got up from the bed. Grandma Rong waved, and more than ten handsome maids walked in, each holding a set of clothes in their hands, and they were all scented. Li Mu was a little confused.
It took me a long time to realize that I wanted him to choose.
"This is too extravagant," Li Mu couldn't help but laugh or cry. Since arriving in Chang'an, he has had more than a million dollars, and he is someone who has never saved money. But seeing such extravagance, he still can't help but feel uncomfortable.
But in the eyes of Grandma Rong, it seems to be a normal thing. The reason is very simple, Mrs. Lu has this strength.
As the owner of Jisi Hall, Mrs. Lu possesses wealth that no mortal can even imagine. If she were willing, it would be effortless to put out a hundred sets of clothes every day.
Several large silk and satin shops in Qizhou City are all owned by Jisitang!
Li Mu picked a piece at random and asked the maids to dress it up. When they came to the small courtyard where Mrs. Lu was, Mrs. Lu looked at the handsome and handsome Li Mu and nodded with satisfaction.
The set of clothes Li Mu wore was exactly the style Li Jiancheng wore back then. Because Mrs. Lu missed Li Jiancheng and was worried that she would forget it, she made a set of all the clothes she had seen and worn by Li Jiancheng. The outfit Li Mu wore,
It's one of them.
"It's just a bit darker."
Mrs. Lu murmured to herself, and Li Mu looked at her strangely. Mrs. Lu covered her face with a smile and motioned for Grandma Rong to serve the food.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten plates of exquisite delicacies were placed on the table. Even though Li Mu had tasted some of them in Chang'an and had memories of his previous life, he still didn't even recognize the dishes placed in front of him.
He picked up a piece of meat, and it was so thin that the meat could be seen through. When he saw Mrs. Lu's face opposite, his eyes widened. This knife skill was too exaggerated!
"This is a big fish in the sea with delicious meat. Because it is extremely difficult to catch, sometimes you can't see it for a year. I specially asked people to pay attention and bring it to you to try." Mrs. Lu handed Li Mu a small plate and said
: "It is most delicious when eaten raw with this dipping sauce, but after cooking, it becomes fishy."
"Oh." Li Mu thought to himself, isn't this just sashimi? It's like I've never eaten it before. He dipped the meat slices in the sauce and put it in his mouth. As expected, the meat was delicious and tasted like nothing he had ever tasted before. Look.
In future generations, after the ocean is polluted, even sashimi will become unpalatable."
"What are my son's plans for the future?"
Li Mu raised his head and glanced at Mrs. Lu. He wanted to say not to bite the bullet, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out. He snorted, which was regarded as acquiescing, and said: "I plan to wait for my adoptive father's army to arrive.
When I arrived, I took over the affairs of Qizhou and turned around. I hope I can celebrate the New Year in time."
"The three children at home are all just born. I have been busy all year round and want to take a good rest." After a pause, Li Mu added: "If you want to see the children, then go back together to Luoyang.
, you are more familiar with me."
"Yes," Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Luoyang City is indeed very familiar - but I'm afraid I won't be able to go back."
Li Mu only thought it was because of Wang Ou, and said: "You don't have to be embarrassed, everyone can do their own thing——"
"That's not what I meant." Mrs. Lu shook her head and said, "Son, do you really think that Li Shimin will let us two off easily?"
"Huh?" Li Mu stopped his chopsticks and said, "What do you mean?"
"Did you ask the soldier surnamed Jiang to go out of the city to report the news early yesterday morning?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"There were three other people who followed them out of the city." Mrs. Lu reached out and took a note from Grandma Rong, handed it to Li Mu, and said: "Yuan Tiangang arrived in Dezhou two days ago. Last night, he sneaked into Li Ji's house.
Zhongjun tent."
"Now Li Ji's army is motionless. Since he has not come to Qizhou, Yuan Tiangang has not come out from the camp. Don't you think it's strange?"
