Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Regarding the relationship between Furong Garden and Li Daozong, it is not easy for Li Qiu to refuse this kind of matter.

You can only go to the banquet.

When he arrived at Li Daozong's mansion, Li Daozong greeted him personally warmly.

"Prince of Peking, I really forgive you."

"I invited you here in this way."

"It should have been that I took the initiative to pay a visit to your house."

"But you also know that I dare not go out in this situation."

"So I can only wrong you and come here in person."

As he spoke, he pointed to his eyes.

The last time since Yuchi Jingde played drunk and accidentally injured Li Daozong.

Li Daozong's bruised eye circles never healed.

I don't know how much strength Yuchi Jingde used at that time.

Li Daozong has always been known as a royal family member and a Confucian general.

He is very concerned about his own image and face.

So since the accident, he really never went out, and never saw outsiders.

Li Qiu is also quite aware of his secrets.

Chapter 744

After the rather sumptuous banquet was seated, Li Daozong and Li Qiu chatted while drinking.

"Li Qiu, I heard that the Liaoren in Lingzhou rebelled."

"The court wants to send an army to attack?"

Li Qiu was not surprised that Li Daozong knew about this.

He is the top level among the generals of the Tang Dynasty.

He is not only a member of the royal family, but also has made great achievements in military affairs.

Seeing Li Qiu's confirmation, Li Daozong then said: "For this army, you should not appoint others."

"I'm afraid no one is more familiar with the Lingzhou area than me."

"It's just right for me to lead the team."

Hearing this, Li Qiu couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

"My lord, with your status and qualifications, you are allowed to bring [-] soldiers and horses to suppress the rebellion of some bureaucrats?"

"That would be inappropriate."

Li Daozong waved his hand at this time.

"What is appropriate or not?"

"I'm not going to hide it from you."

"It's almost the New Year's Eve."

"If I continue to stay in Chang'an City, there will be many activities and court celebrations inside the royal family."

"No matter what, I can't shirk it."

"At that time, people will inevitably look at it and watch it as a joke."

"So I have been following the developments of the Ministry of War for a long time."

"Today I finally got this great opportunity."

"Li Qiu, you have to help me with this matter no matter what."

Seeing Li Daozong said so, this favor has to be accepted no matter what.

As for Feng Li's side, it's not a big problem.

Just in time to have a good year at home.

So the next day, Li Qiu reported the memorial of sending troops to suppress the rebellion of Liao people in Lingzhou.

Li Shimin saw this memorial and Li Daozong's candidate, and immediately understood what was going on.

No objection, just play directly.

Li Daozong was ordered to lead [-] soldiers and horses to Lingzhou to suppress the rebellion immediately.

On the other side, in Da'an Palace.

The samurai Xun came here to pay a visit.

Originally, he planned to come yesterday.

But he was shocked by what happened in the Furong Garden at night.

It was changed to today.

It was a long time before seeing the face of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, and the warrior Xun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, feeling very sad.

The current Supreme Emperor has all white hair and beard.

With the naked eye alone, one can see that his legs and feet are not very agile, and his body is obviously old.

Only the spirit head is still very sufficient.

In the eyes, the clarity and depth of the past have also been restored.

"Zixin."

"When did you come back?"

"For a while now, I'm only looking forward to your return to Beijing for the New Year."

As soon as he saw the warrior Xun, the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan was very enthusiastic.

A knowing smile appeared.

And the warrior Xun also hurriedly saluted the Supreme Emperor.

"Your Majesty, I came back the day before yesterday."

"I originally planned to visit you yesterday."

"Unexpectedly, something happened, so it was postponed until today."

"Looking at your spirit, it's quite enough."

"I don't know if your old man is in good health recently?"

Regarding the attack on the Furong Garden at night, the warrior Xun did not dare to tell the Supreme Emperor, for fear that he would be worried.

Hearing his concern, Supreme Emperor Li Yuan sighed softly and smiled with emotion.

"The mental head is okay."

"On the contrary, this body is getting worse and worse."

"Even I can feel old."

"It's useless."

"Even the legs and feet are far less flexible than before."

"This person, once the body is broken, it will be difficult to rely on medicines to keep it healthy!"

"Come on, Zixin, it's hard for you to come back."

"Drink tea with me and have a good chat about your affairs."

Immediately, the samurai Xun told the Supreme Emperor carefully about what had happened in Jingzhou, Yuezhou, and Fuzhou in the past year.

Especially with the help of Cheng Mingzhen, the warrior Xun successfully controlled the military power of these three states.

He also talked about the promotion and reuse of Xi Junmai and other generals from Youzhou.

The Supreme Emperor was very satisfied after hearing this.

And said it wasn't enough.

You are currently only in control of the situation of the three-state army.

Next, you have to continue to worry about it, and firmly hold the general power in your own hands.

Immediately, the samurai Xun said again.

This year, thanks to Cheng Mingzhen.

I was able to relax a lot.

Compared with the previous days, it is simply a heaven and an underground.

So much so that he has leisure time, going to visit the mountains and rivers, raising some flowers and birds and playthings and so on.

Speaking of Cheng Mingzhen, the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan smiled.

"Zixin."

"This Cheng Mingzhen was the right-hand man of Dou Jiande's men back then."

"A rare all-rounder in civil and military affairs."

"His military strategy is much more powerful than government affairs."

"Even at the beginning of Wude, he has made many achievements."

"It's just that he was affected by the turmoil later, and he has not been reused."

"Having him to assist you in handling the military and political affairs of these three states is actually a bit overkill."

"By the way, this Cheng Mingzhen, how is his relationship with Li Qiu?"

At this time, the warrior Xun smiled and said: "It's between him and Li Qiu, is there any need to talk about it?"

"Back then, in order to save Cheng Mingzhen, Li Qiu almost cost his entire fortune and life."

"This great kindness, he once told me in private."

"This life is hard to report."

"And Li Qiu, this child, is also a person who loves talents."

"Cheng Mingzhen is also reused."

"Otherwise, Cheng Mingzhen couldn't have been sent to me at the beginning."

"Cheng Mingzhen is even more grateful for Li Qiu's kindness."

"When you do something, you do your best."

Hearing this, Supreme Emperor Li Yuan nodded.

"Now the major events in Li Qiu Youzhou and Liaoxi have basically come to an end."

"A few days ago, this kid found time to come to my place for a while."

"Ask me about the situation on the grassland."

"It is very likely that Youzhou will stop using troops on the Turkic Grassland after the New Year's Eve."

"In this way, many people will be idle on his side."

"At that time, you can definitely transfer some to your Jingzhou side for gold plating."

"Get ready to serve in the imperial court in the future."

"As for Cheng Mingzhen, it's a pity to stay with you."

"We should find a way to get him above the court."

"With such a person who knows the basics, it will be easier for Li Qiu to take the position of the right servant and sit firmly."
