"What??? How is this possible? Hou Junji returned to rebel? Besides, how long has he been in Luoyang? What means does he have to rebel? Who gave him soldiers?"

Du Shaoqing was so frightened by the thunder.

The old butler remembered sweating and said, "It's absolutely true!

Just now, one of the master's former proxies risked his life and escaped from Luoyang three days ago to report, saying that General Hou had taken Luoyang as the foundation and led the army. The number is no less than [-]. It is expected that tomorrow Arrive at the city of Chang'an.

Now the master urgently enters the palace to beg to see His Majesty and go down to report the warning.

But thinking of the friendship with General Hou in the past, the master wanted to save the life of General Hou, so he ordered the old slaves to report the letter separately, and asked the son-in-law to help speak in front of His Majesty for the sake of the eldest prince's family. "

Du Shaoqing was furious, and punched the door frame next to him, cursing: "Hou Junji is a traitor and rebelled, and he wants me to talk good words to protect him? Is your General Zhang Liang an idiot? He is helping Hou Junji Are you talking, or do you want to kill me?"

"My son-in-law calm down, my master is sure that General Hou was just confused for a while.

Conspiracy is a capital crime for punishing the nine clans, and the only one who can save him inside and outside the court may be you, the son-in-law, you"

"Enough! Huaiying, see off!"

After seeing off Zhang Liang's housekeeper, Du Shaoqing hurried to the palace.

In the Palace of Political Affairs, Zhang Liang had just arrived, and Li Er was furious. Obviously, he did not expect such a thing to happen.

The more I thought about it, the more irritable I was, the original plan was to lure the snake out of the hole, but now it's good, the snake didn't come out, and there was an oolong, but the loyal minister I trusted was the first to jump back, was it forced?Or did he already have objections?

"Oh? Your boy is here too? It seems that you are well-informed about Du's Chamber of Commerce, and you can't hide things that the imperial court Baiqisi doesn't know." Li Er raised his head and saw Du Shaoqing coming in, and laughed at himself slightly.

"It was General Zhang Liang who sent me a letter by the way. He thought of his fellowship with Hou Junji, and wanted me to find a way to save Hou Junji's life!" Du Shaoqing said without any concealment.

Um?Li Er turned his head to look at the embarrassed Zhang Liang.

But Zhang Liang secretly groaned, he didn't expect that the son-in-law would be so disrespectful, he didn't seem to come to help, but to make trouble, isn't this cheating me?

Du Shaoqing then said to Zhang Liang: "The general shouldn't look for me, you should beg Your Majesty, Hou Junji's life or death, His Majesty decides with one word, he committed a death crime, only His Majesty wants him to live, he can live."

Zhang Liang was startled, and quickly knelt down to beg, the reason was still the same, Hou Junji must have been confused for a while.

Chapter 556 Misunderstanding again and again (two in one)

"Enough is enough. Since the rebels will be at the city in one day at most, it's too early to argue over Hou Junji's life or death. First defend the city and retreat, wait until Hou Junji is captured, and then talk about other things besides the rebellion.

Come, order the generals to gather quickly, all the personnel of the Ministry of War return to their positions and wait for orders, the Martial Taiji Hall of the fourth rank and above will discuss affairs, and the curfew will immediately resume in Chang'an City. "

Li Er interrupted Zhang Liang, Hu Wei was shocked and ordered someone to pass the order.

Seeing that his son-in-law Du Shaoqing hesitated to speak, Li Er asked, "What's the matter with you kid? You won't do useless things to add insult to injury, just say what you have to say."

Du Shaoqing asked in a deep voice: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, can Chang'an City be defended?"

Um?Zhang Liang next to him was stunned. He never thought that Du Shaoqing would ask such a foolish question. Chang'an City has His Majesty sitting in it, and it is as solid as gold, so how could it not be able to defend it?

But Li Er hesitated, pondered for a moment and said truthfully: "At the time of spring farming, Chang'an City, together with the imperial army, has a maximum of 3 soldiers and horses, and Hou Junji has at least [-] soldiers in his hands. grasp.

And the time is too short to dispatch troops, so I can't guarantee you. "

What? ? ?

Zhang Liang even suspected that he heard it wrong. This is His Majesty who is invincible. When did he say something depressing when facing the enemy, but today he said that he is not sure of victory?

For a moment Zhang Liang felt chills down his spine, at this moment he finally understood what Du Shaoqing had done before, why he didn't let Hou Junji intercede.

Still begging for mercy?If the trouble is not good, you have to turn around and beg the guy not to kill the killer. It's really immoral, and the rule of not fighting in spring plowing is broken.

"Your Majesty, the last general asks to talk about Jianghou Junji!" Zhang Liang knelt on one knee and begged for orders.

At this moment, Du Shaoqing refreshed his views on Zhang Liang, never expecting that the other party would have such courage.

Li Er frowned and said, "Is Hou Junji the kind of person who can be said to surrender? Do you think it depends on your eloquence or your friendship?

Forget it, don't go to die! "

"Even if he dies, as long as the last general can delay his advance a little bit and buy an extra moment for Chang'an to deploy troops to defend, the last general will be worth it!" Zhang Liang insisted.

"Your loyalty, I have already understood, there are only tens of thousands of rebels, why should I cut off my feet to survive?

Let's go to the Taiji Hall and wait, we will discuss a countermeasure later, it's nothing more than a collection of Hou Junji, I can destroy it with a wave of my hand! "Li Er's domineering aura seems to have a kind of magic power, which makes people around him feel a strong sense of self-confidence instantly.

Zhang Liang was so moved that he retreated as he said, and turned to wait outside the Tai Chi Hall.

In the Palace of Political Affairs, Du Shaoqing had no intention of leaving. Li Er asked curiously, "Is there anything else? Could it be you who want to join the war? Don't make any trouble. Wu will be here soon. I don't have time to tell you more. If you are empty, go back and help the court appease the people."

Du Shaoqing remained motionless, as if he was in deep thought, and after a while, he had a flash of inspiration, clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "I thought of it, if someone is really bewitching General Hou to rebel behind his back, then the fish we have been catching all along will be hooked, it must be him !"

"Huh? You mean?" Li Er was also surprised, and then fell into thinking.

After a long time, he nodded and said: "That's right, it's not impossible, from being demoted from Cheng Qian to Hou Junji, step by step, the traces of my fishing are too obvious, and it's not easy for the other party to take the bait.

But it happened to be Hou Junji, he was a rebellious person, the pharmacist had said in the early years that he had great ambitions, now he has suffered a great grievance, and being provoked a little by others would only add fuel to the fire.

That person must be a member of the imperial court, otherwise it would be impossible to accurately calculate all of this now, and Hou Junji has only been in office for half a month, how can he gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses? It seems that the land of Luoyang was planned by someone . "

"Haha, it's not in vain that we searched hard. He finally showed his feet again. As long as we catch who is instigating Hou Junji, we can follow the clues to find out the real culprit behind the scenes." Du Shaoqing laughed loudly.

Li Er frowned and said: "It still doesn't work, it's too early to say anything, this Hou Junji has more success than failure!

If Chang'an City is really breached by him, then everything we talk about is a joke. "

The smile on Du Shaoqing's face froze, that's right, the opponent was not a straggler, but a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, Hou Junji, a good fighter.

"I remember hearing a story that Hou Junji once learned the art of war from the Duke of Wei, but Duke Wei only taught him half of the art of war in foreign wars. Hou Junji hated it because of this. Duke Wei expected that Hou Junji had great ambitions. , so the two broke up, I wonder if there is such a thing?" Du Shaoqing asked.

Li Er nodded and said: "It's true, the guarantor I made let the pharmacist teach the art of war, and they were also the two I mediated."

"That's right, no matter whether the soldiers and horses under Hou Junji's command are real or not, they will never be Hu people's army. They must be people from within our Tang Dynasty. Why don't you ask Ji Yu Wei, maybe this teacher and father left behind It's a trick to restrain the apprentice."

Li Er was puzzled and said, "How is this possible? Master and apprentice are like father and son, don't they all give each other their money to inherit the mantle? How could it be?"

"Didn't they break up with the master and apprentice? They are not serious masters and apprentices. Ask Wei Gong, maybe there will be unexpected gains."

"Yeah, hehe, you're still bad enough!" Li Er clapped his palms and said with a smile, "Is it true that your disciples also keep their hand?"

"Don't mention my few disciples. I want to teach them all, but they have to eat. In the end, it was my precious girl who showed me a little hope of being green and blue, otherwise I really worried about me. There is no successor for the Medical Association." Du Shaoqing complained repeatedly.

The two didn't chat for a few words, Du Shaoqing took the initiative to resign. Originally, Li Er wanted him to participate in the court meeting, but Du Shaoqing refused. He had other ideas, so he left the palace and came straight to Changle Square.

The headquarters of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce is also set up here. The Chamber of Commerce is no longer just a business organization. Its huge information network is comparable to the Baiqi Division of the imperial court in charge of intelligence.

Wu Zhao was not there, and Erhu stayed on duty at night. Du Shaoqing obtained information on a person, that is Hou Junji's son.
