Loyalty Hou Tiansheng rebellious

In the second year of Yongjia, Dongyue.

In the past few months, Chang'an has handed over the Jiangnan affairs to the Marquis Zhongyi, and Jiangnan prefectures have been dispatched by him.

It's not necessary to do everything by yourself, the errands outside will be handled by the subordinates.Chen Hen nestled in the manor house of the fiefdom, looking at the documents every day and just doing the replying.

He Xing probably had been prepared for a long time, and he didn't know where he hid.

Recently, Chen Hen is doing deployment and investigation, and is going to catch him before he shows up on his own.

This morning the weather was extraordinarily cold, Chen Hen was afraid of the cold, even in the south of the Yangtze River, he lit the charcoal basin early.There was one at his feet, and another in his arms—it was the small hand stove that Li Yan had given him before.

He read documents in the room, and Li Yan practiced sword in the yard.

Chen Hen hugged the blanket and sat on the couch, not knowing whether the sound coming from outside was the sound of the wind, or the sound of Li Yan's long sword piercing through the air.

After a while, the sun gradually rose, and I don't know who drove the horse straight in.

It is probably a document delivery person. Recently, documents from all over the south of the Yangtze River are sent to him.

The sound of the long sword piercing the air stopped, Li Yan chatted with the messenger for a while, put the sword back into its sheath, and entered the room with the letter.

There was no cold wind blowing in, Li Yan approached, and put the letter in front of Chen Hen: "Su Yuanjun's letter to you."

The letter was not long, so Chen Hen glanced at it hastily.

Su Heng told him two things.

The first thing was to discover He Xing's whereabouts in the Japanese pirate camp on the southern coast.

Just because He Xing was on the side of the Japanese pirates, Su Heng didn't know how to deploy troops, so it was inconvenient to act rashly, so the second thing in the letter was to invite him to go.Su Heng was waiting for him in Jiangzhou not far away.

Li Yan sat beside him to read the letter, and quickly finished it, then turned to look at Chen Hen.

As soon as Chen Hen put the letter on the case, he thought that he and He Xing really had a destiny.

"You want to go?" Li Yan picked up the jade paperweight on the case, and pressed a corner of the paper.

"Someone has to go there. Su Yuanjun is alone, how can he handle it?" Chen Hen sighed, "Jiangnan restructured, he offended everyone who should be offended. If there is no one who can control the situation, he will not be caught. Alright, let's mess ourselves up first."

Li Yan didn't answer, Chen Hen turned to look at him: "What does the emperor think?"

Li Yan also nodded: "Someone has to go."

Chen Henman thought that Li Yan was letting him go, and was about to get up with the stove in his hands, and pushed Li Yan who was sitting next to him twice: "My lord, let me go."

Li Yan asked him: "Who told you to go?"

Chen Hen was taken aback, and sat back on the couch aggrieved: "The emperor himself said that someone should go there."

Li Yan only put his hand into his sleeve, and also covered his hand stove, saying: "You just send someone to go."

"This kind of thing..." Chen Hen thought for a while, "Bandit Shi is by Su Yuanjun's side, and his elm head can't handle it well; Mr. Zhang is too old, so he is too embarrassed to let him go; Xu Zhenmian is even worse. I am sorry to let him go, he is here to recuperate, not to help me with errands."

After much deliberation, the only option left is to go there by yourself.

Chen Hen tentatively said softly: "My lord, I'm afraid I'll have to go through this again."

"Have you finished thinking about everyone?"

"I'm done thinking about it." Chen Hen nodded, "I'm the only one left."

But Li Yan asked him again: "Have you finished thinking about it?"

Chen Hen nodded firmly: "I'm done thinking about it."

Li Yan touched his forehead with his forehead, and finally asked him: "Is it really over?"

Only then did Chen Hen realize what he meant, he was startled, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no."

"Why can't you? The Marquis can go, but the Emperor can't?"

"How can that work? If the emperor..."

"Except you and Su Yuanjun, who knows it's the emperor? The emperor is recuperating in Chang'an."

Li Yan stroked his head along his hair as if soothing, "It's inconvenient for Master Hou to go out, what's wrong with finding someone to take care of him?"

Chen Hen complained in a low voice: "Why is it inconvenient to go out?"

"It's cold, don't you want to go out?"

"On the other hand, this matter..."

"You can't go." Li Yan said firmly, "I see that He Xing only wants to recruit you, and he has no good intentions."

"He..." Chen Hen thinks about it too, he has dealt with He Xing twice, one time not long ago, the other time in a dream, both times were very tragic, he still feels a little scared when he thinks about it now.

In fact, if he had to go, he was not very willing to go, but there were some things beyond his control, so he had to go.

Su Yuanjun had never led soldiers before, so he was probably in a hurry when he received a letter urging him.

There should be no hesitation.

"I... my lord..."

No matter how afraid he was of He Xing, because he made up his mind in just a moment, it was Li Yan's turn, but he couldn't make a decision.

Li Yan teased him: "Master Hou is reluctant?"

"Then..." I said I was reluctant, but it was actually a little bit.He had dealt with He Xing before, and the situation was chaotic at this time, so he really didn't want to let him go.Chen Hen turned his head and took out a pamphlet from the case, "I'd better tell the emperor about the officials in Jiangnan..."

"Good boy." Li Yan held his shoulders and pressed him into his arms, "You don't need to talk, I know all about it. At this time, why don't you give me a reward first?"

"My lord, sometimes I suspect that you are..." Chen Hen thumped him, "All the officials in the south of the Yangtze River hugged each other fiercely in private, and Su Yuanjun hadn't had time to change. Earlier, I asked Bandit Shi to follow me Around him, he has basically figured out everything, behavior and affairs must be checked and balanced everywhere, let’s not move their roots first, they won’t care about it. Wait until this matter is over, and then slowly remove them.”

It was he who dared to tell the emperor directly about his private interrogation of court officials, such outrageous things.

Thanks to him, whoever else will do this matter is obviously the preliminary preparation for the rebellion.

"Look on the road." Li Yan put the pamphlet into his sleeve, and said seriously, "Su Yuanjun is in a hurry, the person he sent is still waiting outside, I will go now."

"Or I also..."

"No." Li Yan got up and looked down at him, "I always feel that you and Jiangnan are at odds. If it was possible, I wouldn't have let you come earlier."

Consciously speaking too seriously, Li Yan added: "I have to have you sitting in the rear, so I can feel at ease."

Chen Hen put on his shoes on the bed, walked to the side of the clothes, picked up Li Yan's big cloak, and smoothed the small folds on it with his hands before putting it on him: "Then the emperor should be careful."

"Where's your carrier pigeon?"

"I don't know." Chen Hen smiled, and tied the belt of his cloak, "I'm afraid I'm still in Chang'an, so I didn't follow."

"You blow the bamboo whistle."

Chen Hen helped him fasten the belt, took out the small bamboo whistle from his belt, and blew twice suspiciously.

Outside the paper pasted by the window, two fat wings fluttered, and after they stopped, they stood on the window sill.

Li Yan pressed the back of his head and kissed his forehead: "Contact Pigeon, take care."

"Okay, take care of the emperor too." Chen Hen paused, and gave him the small hand stove that was always considered a treasure in his hand, "It's cold on the road, the emperor should take it."

Li Yan didn't refuse either, and put it away in his sleeves.

Chen Hen said again: "The emperor is not in a hurry, I am not in a hurry, and the way of heaven is not in a hurry. It will be the end of the fifth year of Yongjia."

"At the end of the fifth year of Yongjia, what can we do?" Li Yan chuckled, "I will hurry back to celebrate the New Year with you."

There was silence for a moment.

This matter came in a hurry, I sent a letter in a hurry, made a decision in a hurry, there was no time to make preparations, and there was no time to say goodbye, and I was about to leave immediately.

Everything is reasonable, in fact, both of them know that there are always times like this when Jiangnan suppresses the rebellion.

But suddenly, Chen Hen didn't know how to say goodbye to him.

It seems that there has never been a serious goodbye between the two of them.

In the past, when Li Yan went to the northwest to pick up Princess Changqing and returned to Chang'an, he bid farewell to Chen Hen quietly in Yeyouting; the last time Chen Hen ran out of the palace, he did not say goodbye to Li Yan solemnly; I didn't even see anyone.

The two of them were meant to be together, and they shouldn't have said goodbye.

"The emperor always gets together less and leaves more." Chen Hen sighed, raised his arms to hug his waist, and leaned on him with his whole body, only leaning his head on his shoulder, rubbing the edge of his cloak Fox Hair, "Your Majesty has worked hard."

Li Yan rode his horse all the way south, only the hand stove in his sleeve was still warm, it was so hot.

He was originally prepared, ready to go through this experience on Chen Hen's behalf.

Jiangzhou is not far away, and it will take half a day's horse journey to arrive.

It was already late at night when we arrived, and Su Heng was staying at the mansion of the governor of Jiangzhou. When Li Yan arrived, someone went in to report.

When he got off his horse and was invited into the hall, he heard Su Heng complaining: "Why didn't he come by himself? He even sent someone here on airs. What if I missed something?"

When Li Yan was unwilling to untie the cloak that Chen Hen had put on him, he stood at the threshold, shaking the snow all over his body.

Candles illuminated the hall, Su Heng raised his eyes, and when he saw Li Yan clearly, he was startled.As crazy as he is, he almost knocked over the teacup.

"Master Hou asked me to make arrangements." Li Yan ignored him, and stepped across the threshold on his own, "Bring me the map."

Su Heng hurriedly got up, gave him the seat in front of the case, dismissed all the officials in the hall, and asked someone to bring over the silk map.

The officials had never met Li Yan before, so they couldn't figure out who this person was, they only thought that he was someone who was particularly eye-catching in front of the Marquis of Zhongyi.It was getting late at this time, and I wished I could go back to sleep under the hot quilt, so I bowed and went down.

He just came from Ye Xuetian, and the waiters brought hot water and towels. Li Yan didn't need the waiters to wash his face and hands, so he waved his hand and let them go down.

Only Li Yan and Su Heng were left in the hall, Li Yan took a sip of hot tea, turned to look at the map: "Let's talk, what happened to He Xingtong and those Japanese pirates."

God knows why the emperor who is still in Chang'an came here?Or did Chen Hen send him over?Could it be that they have misremembered the identities of these two people?Su Heng was full of doubts and didn't dare to speak, it was rare for him to say things in a proper manner.

After hearing what he had said, Li Yan knocked on the table first: "Let three hundred people go north to Qingpi first."

"What?" Su Heng's eyebrows twitched, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong with the Liting fief?"

"No, I brought some people with me when I came here. Now that I am not by his side, I always feel that it is not enough. I want to send more people to protect him."

Li Yan said these words very solemnly, and no matter how serious he was, he couldn't hide the two bright words - Hunjun.

After finishing this matter, Li Yan can rest assured to make arrangements.

It is also his first time to come back to Jiangnan, but he has played it many times in the art of war and on the sand table.

He has been making deployments on military books and sand tables since his previous life, and in this life he has been deducing it every day. He has in mind the terrain deployment of Jiangnan, and there are thousands and hundreds of situations in Jiangnan that can be attacked and defended. Hundreds of ways to deal with it, he has to make sure nothing goes wrong, and—

We also need to pull Chen Hen out of this deadlock.

In fact, he also knew all the things recorded in the pamphlet that Chen Hen gave him, and he didn't want to do what he wanted, so he didn't tell him.

It is not difficult for Li Yan to suppress the rebellion. Although the matter this time is different from the previous life, it is something he has been thinking about day and night after all.

It is not difficult to say, but it is also difficult.

Every soldier, every step, every deployment was difficult. The difficulty was that Li Yansheng was afraid that one of the rebels would go north and disturb the people he was protecting.

He wants to block every variable.

When dawn broke, the sky was twilight.

Su Heng went down to deliver the order and arranged a room for Li Yan to rest.

Li Yan was not in a hurry to go to sleep, he stood in front of the porch and watched the snow fall for a while, it snowed all night last night.

When the wind blew, he suddenly remembered that when he came, Chen Hen hugged him and said to him: "The emperor has worked hard."

He knew that what Chen Hen meant was that from the first year of Yongjia to the present, the emperor had worked hard for Jiangnan's restructuring, the liquidation of the Xu family, and the suppression of the rebellion for the crown prince.

But Li Yan only felt that he was just doing what Chen Hen did in his previous life, that's all.
