Chapter 662: Sending troops

"Mother, is the Queen Yin Concubine really..." When she heard the news of Yin Concubine's plot to rebel, Princess Yuzhang kept rushing to find Lizheng Hall and asked Empress Changsun.

How could the Yin Concubine, who is so gentle and elegant, with a faint smile on her face, do such a rebellious thing as murdering her father? Yu Zhang, who has always been loved by Yin Concubine, cannot accept this fact and insist on verbal verification in front of Empress Changsun.

"Ru'er, the mother knows that Sister Yin Fei loves you very much, and the relationship between you mother and daughter is quite shallow." Seeing Yu Zhang's current appearance, Empress Changsun gently stood up, took Yu Zhang's little hand and sat down, and said warmly: "But, things have happened in the end and no one can change it."

"If the bowl of poisonous bird's nest porridge that Yin Fei sent to the emperor last night was exposed in public and no longer had any actions, the emperor might still remember the past love without caring about it." It seemed that he thought of the things that happened in the study room last night. Empress Changsun sighed softly: "It's a pity that Yin Fei did not repent at that time, and it became even worse."

After looking at Yu Zhang, Empress Changsun continued, "Indulging his subordinates to commit crimes and intend to murder the emperor and me is not something that can be forgiven in just one sentence. Last night, if your father had not been too cautious in his usual manner, and with the ability of Yin Chun, today, you would probably not have seen your father and mother."

Thinking about the tragic situation of Yinchun being shot to death by arrows last night, Empress Changsun, who had not seen blood for several years, had a sad face and was still somewhat scared.

"But why is this? OK, how could Concubine Yin..." Yu Zhang still couldn't believe it after being confirmed by her mother's queen.

"Who else can make Yin Fei so crazy except for the fifth King of Qi?" sighed lightly, and Queen Changsun whispered: "To be honest, Yin Fei is a pitiful person. She forced herself into such a situation for the sake of a rebellious son. It's really a sin."

Seeing that she has always been cold and careless about her son, she has given up on her son and doesn't care about her half. She doesn't want to be in her heart. She loves and cares about her son so much, and she does not hesitate to take risks for the mistakes her son has made, and she has taken her life in vain.

It is singing, pitiful, but unrespected.

Empress Changsun felt pity for Yin Fei's mother-son feelings, but Empress Changsun felt deeply hated for Yin Fei's crazy actions.

Although Yin Fei'er's greatest benefit in the end would be the prince Qianer, Empress Changsun was not grateful at all. If the emperor died and the important officials in the court died, can the entire Tang Dynasty be promoted with just Qianer's talent?

If not, what should we do when the Tang Dynasty is going to happen? What should we do if the thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty have to do? Wars are rampant and the people are lost, just for their own selfishness. Her Yin Concubine will definitely become an eternal sinner of the Tang Dynasty.

“…”

Yu Zhang Mo said that it was a heart-to-heart. For his son, Concubine Yin would do such an offensive act. Although it was unexpected, it was understandable.

But for the sake of the fifth brother, it is a pity for the Yin Concubine.

"What does Father mean?" Yu Zhang asked in a low voice.

"At present, your father can no longer be the decision of this kind of thing," Empress Changsun raised her hand and rubbed Yu Zhang's soft hair. Empress Changsun said softly: "The laws of the Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of Justice, and the officials of Dali Temple are all staring at each other. The sister Yin Fei has no way out. What your father can do now is the date of execution. When the fifth brother is brought to justice in the future, they can meet their mother and son for the last time."

"Father, merciful," Thinking of the Queen Yin who has always loved her, Yu Zhang's tears fell from his eyes. He hugged Queen Changsun's arm and begged, "Mother, I want to visit Queen Yin."

"Yeah, yes." Without refusing, Empress Changsun nodded gently and said, "Yin Fei is now detained in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. You go and hang up and accompany Yin Fei to relieve her boredom, it's fine."

"Well, thank you, Queen Mother!" He responded lightly, lifted the handkerchief to wipe away the tears from his face, Princess Yuzhang stood up and saluted Queen Changsun and slowly left the hall.

"This child, alas!" Looking at Yu Zhang walking out of the hall gate lovingly, Empress Changsun shook her head and sighed, turned her head to look at Xiao Dezi next to her, and told her softly: "Why haven't the Crown Princess been here in the past few days? I've made me miss the Emperor Changsun a little. You can go to the Eastern Palace and invite the Crown Princess and Emperor Changsun to come over and enjoy lunch with me."

"Yes, Empress, I'll invite you now." He bent over and responded, and Xiao Dezi stood up and withdrew.

In the 'Zhiqiu Pavilion', the autumn wind was bleak and the leaves fell all over the ground.

Wu Yuanqing, the boss of the Wu family, who learned the news, ran from outside the palace, and spoke with great thoughts at Wu Mei, one after another to persuade Wu Mei to change her mind.

"Mei Niang, why are you doing this?"

He personally handed Wu Meiduan a cup of hot tea, and Wu Yuanqing said in a voice: "Oh, why are you having a quarrel with the Prince? Men are not the same, isn't it just because of a woman? Even if you are jealous, you can't be so angry with the Prince."

“Where is this place?”

"Palace!" Wu Yuanqing replied: "Who is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? That is the future emperor. How could there be only one woman around the emperor? The beauties in the harem of three thousand. If you only have this kind of mind and become the queen in the future, how can you command the harem?"

"Listen to the elder brother, when the prince comes back, you will obediently admit your mistake with the prince. The couple, how can you have any overnight grudges? I and your sister-in-law all argue every day, have you ever seen them ignore your brother like you for several days?" Wu Yuanqing's tongue did not stop for a moment: "Your prince is generous, and the eldest grandson is waiting there, so I don't care too much about you."

"Ask a mistake and accept it, will this matter be over?" Wu Yuanqing spared no effort to persuade: "Apart from that, the emperor Changsun Nianyan cannot live without your mother, can you really bear to hand him over to those palace maids to take care of him?"

Wu Yuanqing was talking about reason and moved him with emotion. Unfortunately, from the beginning to the end, Wu Mei kept silent and let Wu Yuanqing nag there alone.

"Are you afraid that because of your younger sister, the prince will waive you and your second brother's current official position?" Wu Mei raised her eyes and glanced at her elder brother and said, "If this is the case, the eldest brother will not be too busy here. The prince is not the kind of person who goes against his word. He will never be angry with you for my business. Just put your heart in your stomach."

Not to mention anything else, even if Emperor Changsun was standing there, Li Chengqian would not make things too difficult for Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanqing to make the two brothers.

"And," Wu Mei paused for a moment, murmured to herself, "If you really lose your official position, it might be a good thing."

"What are you talking about?" The voice was too small, and Wu Yuanqing didn't hear it too clearly, so he couldn't help but start asking.

"Nothing," shaking his head lightly, Wu Mei said in a low voice: "It's getting late. If you have nothing else, you'd better go back first. This 'Zhiqiu Pavilion' is very quiet. I like it very much. I don't want to leave for the time being."

"When did you become so stubborn? You don't even listen to your elder brother's words?" Why did a girl who is very smart on weekdays get so horny now? Wu Yuanqing stood up from the chair, raised her hand and pointed at Wu Meidu for a long time, but couldn't say a word anymore.

Not a mother's child, the relationship between their brothers and sisters has always been somewhat alienated. If Wu Mei had not become the crown princess, their brothers would have taken advantage of the situation to enter Chang'an as an official, Wu Yuanqing would not have talked to Wu Mei so hard for so long now.

If it were normal, this girl would not listen to her words and, depending on Wu Yuanqing's little temper, she would have suffocated her with a slap. How could she, a little girl, be here Mo Mo?

But now, although Wu Mei was instigated to the "Zhiqiu Pavilion" by the prince, she was still the princess. Although she was a brother and sister, her status was completely different. Even if she gave Wu Yuanqing two courages, he would not dare to take action again.

"Listen to my younger sister, I'd better go back first. If you have nothing to do these days, don't always walk into the East Palace, so as not to get gossiped." Ignoring Wu Yuanqing's words, Wu Mei continued, "I'll tell my second brother when I go back, I'll stay at home these days, don't care about anything, don't do anything, if I'm really bored," said Wu Mei.

He looked up at Wu Yuanqing, and Wu Mei said, "In the past two days, the emperor will be fooled by the emperor. If the eldest brother and the second brother are willing, he might as well ask for his orders to go there. The King of Qi is just a tiger made of paper, so it is not to be afraid. You will not be in any major danger."

"Okay, okay, I can't persuade you, but you're trying to persuade your elder brother." Seeing that Wu Mei was determined to refuse to listen to the advice, Wu Yuanqing waved his hand impatiently and said, "I will consider your words, but you should think more about it, brother."

"I know you are annoyed and don't like to listen to my elder brother's nagging. I don't hate you here, so I'll go back first." After looking at Wu Mei, Wu Yuanqing shook his head lightly, got up to tidy up his clothes, and walked straight out.

"Brother, I'll not send you off." He nodded slightly, and Wu Mei signaled the maid beside him to take Wu Yuanqing out. While watching Wu Yuanqing go out, she inadvertently glanced at the spots falling in the bamboo forest in the yard. The bamboo leaves were yellow and autumn, deep.

"Your Highness the Crown Princess, you rushed in without any information. The villain was rude." In a daze, when you heard someone shouting outside the door, Wu Mei raised her eyes and looked at it. Seeing that it was the eunuch chief next to Empress Changsun, she whispered: "So it's Xiao Dezi. This is the 'Zhiqiu Pavilion'. There are not so many rules, just come in directly."

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Princess." Hearing Wu Mei's response, Xiao Dezi responded softly, and then he stepped into the room with a regular step.

"Your Highness, are you?" Seeing the simple furnishings in the house, there were only one table, three chairs, and a set of dilapidated tea sets, not to mention that, why did the Crown Princess not even have a palace maid to serve, and there was no eunuch guard outside the courtyard, which was so shabby.

Usually, the Crown Princess treats them well. Seeing that the Crown Princess was in such a situation, Xiao Dezi couldn't help but ask softly.

"I had a little awkward relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince," said Wu Mei, smiling indifferently, shook her head lightly, and said, "Forget it, everything has passed, don't mention it again. But Xiao Dezi, why did you come to this 'Zhiqiu Pavilion' for nothing?"

"Oh, let me say to Your Highness," Xiao Dezi hurriedly looked straight and replied: "It's the Empress, she misses the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness Emperor Changsun. Seeing that it was noon, the villain came over to invite the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness Emperor Changsun to have a meal together."

"Your Highness, the villain has seen it. I heard that the Princess is in this 'Zhiqiu Pavilion'," he looked up carefully at Wu Mei, and Xiao Dezi continued, "The villain came all the way. Your Highness is ready. Let's go to the Lizheng Hall with the villain. The Empress is probably already waiting urgently."

"I'm worried about my mother, and I'm also tired of Xiao Dezi's hard work," said Weibing and bowing towards Lizheng Hall. Wu Mei said softly: "But Wu Mei is afraid that she will disappoint her mother."

"Wu Mei cannot take this step in the 'Zhiqiu Pavilion' without the permission of His Royal Highness. I hope my mother can understand it." Looking down at herself, Wu Mei continued to say: "And even if Wu Mei can come out of the 'Zhiqiu Pavilion', even if Wu Mei is dressed on her body, it is not easy to go to see her mother."

In one sentence, Xiao Dezi understood the intention of the Crown Princess. After a long time of trouble, he just wanted to make a passerby and report the situation here to the Queen.

I think that with the degree of love between the Empress and the Crown Princess and the Emperor Changsun, she would not stand by and bear to watch the Crown Princess suffer here and separate from the Emperor Changsun and his son.

"If this happens, the villain will take his leave first. Your Highness the Crown Princess is relieved. The villain will report the situation here to the Empress to know the truth." Wei bowed to the Crown Princess, and Xiao Dezi didn't say anything more, so he bowed and retreated.

He is worthy of being a celebrity around the queen. He is such a smart person. He looked up at Xiao Dezi with admiration. Wu Meiwen nodded with a smile and said, "Then it's a blessing for Xiao Dezi!"

"Emperor, since the situation is clear now, the hidden dangers in the court are not there, and it is really impossible and not appropriate to delay the matter of peace." When Li Shimin summoned several ministers to meet in private in the imperial study room, Changsun Wuji took the lead in saying: "The people are in panic and the morale of the army is unstable. After being delayed for a long time, it will harm all over the country, the people, and the king, but no benefit."

As he said that, Changsun Wuji took another step forward and bent over to ask for instructions: "I am willing to ask the emperor and immediately send troops to the ground to end this war."

"Well," Li Shimin murmured without saying anything after hearing Changsun Wuji's words. His expression did not change at all. After looking at Changsun Wuji, he turned his head to look at the other ministers in the study: "The auxiliary Ji has already expressed his thoughts, Xuanling, Zhijie, Jingde, Xuancheng, and Jingren, what are your opinions?"

As he said that, Li Shimin's eyes were all directed at Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Wei Zheng, and Cen Wenben, and softly asked about their opinions.

"Go back to the emperor," turned his head and looked around. Fang Xuanling was the first to stand up and stood up, bowed to Li Shimin, and said, "I agree with Lord Changsun's suggestion that it is better to send troops to quell the chaos than to delay, and then change will occur."

"I am also asking!" Cen Wenben stood up the second time and bowed and said, "It is related to people's livelihood, military power, court principles, and royal etiquette. I think that the matter of sending troops is urgent."

"I'm asking!" Without any extra words, Old Man Wei stood up silently and expressed his attitude.

"I'm going to discuss!" The remaining Cheng and Yuchi and the others saw that the literati present had the same meaning, looked at each other, and stood up at the same time, bowed to the battle: "I'm willing to lead troops to quell the rebellion!"

"Well, okay, I understand what you mean." Li Shimin closed his eyes lightly with some distress and unbearableness. He waved his hand to signal the few people to retreat, and said, "I will make a decision tomorrow morning. Please step down first, my dear friends."

"Yes, the emperor!" Several ministers in the study looked at each other. Knowing that the emperor was so reluctant to say anything, he didn't say anything more, and stood up and raised his sleeves, bowed and left.

"Oh," Seeing them all retreating, Li Shimin picked up the tea bowl on the table and sighed: "Li Ran, tell me, should I take this soldier, or not?"

"When you go back to the emperor, the villain is frightened and dare not discuss political affairs!" Li Ran's body was so scared that he was trembling. Such a military and national affairs, how could he, an eunuch, be able to get into the mouth?

"Haha, even if you don't say it, I know it." Ignoring Li Ran's words, Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "Yu Li, Yu Fa, and Li You are not forgiven. Even if you kill him ten times, it is not an exaggeration."

"But Yu Qing, after all, is my biological flesh and blood. I really feel a little unbearable in my heart, especially..." Especially after experiencing the incident of Yin Concubine last night, she sighed again, and Li Shimin finally said nothing about it.

Li Ran bowed and stood upright, with a solemn expression, and was dedicated to his duty. He did not dare to follow Li Shimin's words.

"Forget it, what should come is coming eventually. If the matter is on the head, what can I do if I can't bear it in my heart?" After a moment, Li Shimin shook his head lightly, no longer thought about it, turned his head and looked at Li Ran, and said, "How is Liu Yi there?"

"Back to the emperor," Li Ran's body, which had been tense just now, relaxed and bent down and said, "According to the emperor's instructions, Mr. Liu was still living in the guard camp of Lizheng Hall last night. This morning, he went to Qin Mansion to treat Duke Yiguo with Commander Feng."

"Well," Li Shimin took a sip of tea to calm his mind. Then he asked, "How is the condition of Duke Yi Guo, now? Is there any improvement?"

"After Mr. Liu's 'fog therapy' yesterday, Duke Yi's complexion improved a lot, and he had no symptoms of coma all day long." Li Ran replied in a voice: "According to the Order of the Imperial Medical Office, Duke Yi's pulse is weak now, but there is a hint of vitality in the weak. If he is well recuperated, he should have hope of recovery."

"Where is Liu Yi, what did he say?" Hearing that Li Ran's reply, he wanted to avoid the important and take the minor, Li Shimin then started asking.

"Return to the emperor, Mr. Liu's words are a little strange," he looked up carefully at Li Shimin, and Li Ran replied softly: "Mr. Liu said that medicine is not a dead disease, and Buddha is destined to save people. Duke Yi's tuberculosis may be cured, but he cannot guarantee the body of Duke Yi."

"Huh?" Li Shimin's expression changed slightly and he said, "What does he mean?"

"The villain didn't understand at the time, so he continued to ask Mr. Liu," Li Ran said: "I heard Mr. Liu say that dead trees produce insects, and insects can be removed, but dead trees have difficulty growing new branches."

"Ah?!" He was shocked, and the tea in the tea bowl in Li Shimin's hand splashed lightly.

It is hard to see the dead trees in spring. When the oil is gone, how can the lamp be destroyed? Qin Engong is really old.

"Also," Seeing the emperor's expression, Li Ran hurriedly finished Liu's words: "Mr. Liu said that even if it is a dead tree, he can keep it safe for two years and dry up."

"Two years of happiness?" Hearing this, Li Shimin's expression relaxed a little and murmured to himself: "It's better to have two years of happiness, it's better than Qin Engong's suffering like this now."

"Let Liu Yi let go of the treatment," Li Shimin spoke to Li Ran with a little clarity: "If you have any needs, try to satisfy them."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Ran replied in a word.

"Have Luo Tong come back quickly?" Thinking of Liu Yi's role, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of his promise to Liu Yi: "Have you received it?"

"The news that just arrived this morning," Li Ran bent over and said, "General Luo has seen Liu Laoshi's family and is on the way back. It is estimated that in another five days, he will be able to arrive in Chang'an safely."

"Well," he nodded slowly, Li Shimin took a sip of tea and savored the first new tea after autumn. Li Shimin couldn't help but think of Liu Yi's ability besides medical skills. He raised his hand and blew it gently, blew away the tea foam in the bowl, and said in a low voice: "Send some more people to secretly guard Liu Yi's side. I don't want him to have anything wrong in Chang'an City."

"Yes, the emperor!" It was rare that the emperor would attach so much importance to a commoner commoner. Li Ran couldn't help but admire Liu Yi in his heart.
