The army's morale was greatly boosted, and they adjusted their tactics, shifting from defense to offense, and successfully resisted the attack of the Spike Army. In September, the Tang army regained Chang'an, and An Qingxu retreated to Luoyang. Soon Luoyang was also recovered by the Tang army.

With the successive victories of the Tang army, Li Tan's reputation in Taiyuan also reached its peak.Fang Gan, the leader of the martial arts alliance in Taiyuan, and Li Fuben, the ghost planner, were worried that Li Tan would have other plans in Taiyuan. After more than a month of investigation, the two decided to let Li Tan mobilize the troops of the Tang Dynasty in Taiyuan.However, some people far away in Lingwu are unwilling to let down their vigilance against Li Tan.

A victory report was sent to the Lingwu Hall, but Empress Zhang clenched her hands tightly, and her nails painted with bright red Danko were embedded in her flesh, and Empress Zhang didn't feel it.She still needs to have a joyful smile on her face, and congratulate the "sage is wise" loudly with the courtiers in front of the courtiers.A pair of eyes hidden among the courtiers swept across Queen Zhang's powdered face, and then fell on the face of the eunuch who was standing beside Queen Zhang. Empress Dao Zhang and Li Fuguo may have been relatives in the previous life, otherwise why would they have the same expressions?

After the end of the early dynasty, Suzong left Empress Zhang, Li Fuguo and Li Mi.The smile on Suzong's face gradually faded, he casually threw a stack of good news at his hand, glanced at Queen Zhang, then turned to Li Fuguo and said, "Decree."

Li Mi raised his eyebrows, listening to the anger and impatience in Suzong's tone, Li Mi thought that this decree should not be an imperial decree that should be rewarded.Li Mi guessed right, Suzong's decree stunned the usually calm and wise courtiers - Suzong wanted to kill Li Tan!

Li Mi frowned and looked at the victory reports that Su Zong casually left aside. Li Mi had read some of these success reports. These success reports were all submitted by Li Guangbi who was stationed in Taiyuan. In Suzong's view, these credits were all done by Li Tan in Taiyuan.Li Tan naturally understands what it means to be a high-achieving master, but he can't completely control the mind of an emperor.

Li Mi put away the jade card he was playing with, and stepped forward to beg for Li Tan's mercy, but Suzong's anger could not be dispelled, and with Queen Zhang and Li Fuguo fanning the flames, Suzong glared at Li Mi and said, "Do you think you can return it in your eyes?" There are monarchs and ministers?!"

Li Mi trembled, he was still clear when he persuaded Li Tan, but now he almost lost his position.Li Mi didn't dare to say anything more, Empress Zhang and Li Fuguo became even more arrogant, and hurriedly wanted to announce the decree.At this time, Li Mi said to Suzong again: "I feel that it is appropriate for Eunuch Gao to pass on the decree."

Empress Zhang and Li Fuguo glanced at each other, they knew that Li Mi was cunning, and he proposed to let Gao Lishi pass the decree, but he didn't know what he was planning.Empress Zhang looked at Li Mi warily, and asked why Li Mi asked Gao Lishi to pass the decree by name. Could there be something tricky about it?

Li Mi shook his head, and replied with a slight smile: "Gao Lishi has been at odds with King Jianning since the incident at Mawei Station, so send Eunuch Gao, and King Jianning will surely escape."

Li Mi was pleading for King Jianning a moment ago, but now he said this again. Empress Zhang and Li Fuguo didn't know what this old and cunning fox was planning, but they couldn't think of a better candidate, so they stopped talking to Li Fuguo. Controversy.

After Suzong entered the inner hall to rest, Empress Zhang ordered Li Fuguo to catch up with Li Mi. She felt that Li Mi had hidden something just now, and it might be inconvenient to say it in front of Suzong.

Li Fuguo caught up with Li Mi, first he saluted respectfully, and then asked Li Mi with a smile why he arranged for Gao Lishi to go to Taiyuan.

Li Mi stroked his beard, and said slyly: "The King Jianning who is in Taiyuan now has made great achievements. It is difficult for a saint to win the hearts of the people. Anyone who passes the decree will be reviled by the people. Do you want to take the blame for your father-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fuguo quickly waved his hands and said he did not want to.Li Bi nodded, and said again: "Gao Lishi is a coquettish man seeking power. Now the Supreme Emperor is far away in the middle of Sichuan, and the one who controls the world today is a sage. Naturally, he must firmly seize the opportunity to serve the sage, and will not treat Jianning Wang is merciful, and he still has the Shence Army in his hands, if King Jianning resists, he will have a way to contend with it. Eunuch, do you have an army in your hand?"

Li Fuguo shook his head again, but Li Mi has never been a member of Queen Zhang and his faction. Even though Li Mi said so, Li Fuguo still had doubts in his heart. In dealing with King Guangping and King Jianning, Lord Changyuan should not actively mediate on this matter, but now he wants to kill King Jianning, I don’t know who does Lord Changyuan really want?”

Li Mi squinted his eyes, turned his back to Li Fuguo, and walked down the steps step by step: "I, Li Mi, am a speculator. I will naturally rely on whoever is beneficial to me. Maybe one day, I will If I rely on my father-in-law, or... when my father-in-law loses power, I will also make trouble."

Li Fuguo was stunned, looked at Li Mi's back, and felt that this person was so unfathomable and terrifying.

When Li Tan received the imperial edict, he was inspecting Taiyuan with Du Fu, a member of the Changge family who came to Taiyuan to help the Tang army.

The sudden appearance of Gao Lishi made Du Fu realize that the situation had changed. After the imperial decree was read, Du Fu was horrified that whether Taiyuan would be captured by the Spike Army or not, and that the recovery of the two capitals was due to King Jianning. Du Fu was unwilling to kill the heroes, and wanted to lead the Changgemen who were stationed in Taiyuan City to rescue Li Tan, but Li Tan stopped him.

"Mr. Zimei, don't panic. Since the saint wants to kill me, I can't resist the order. Please tell Mr. Li Guangbi that Taiyuan City is well-defended and there is no need to worry about it. Tang Jiangshan." After Li Tan finished speaking, he left with Gao Lishi.

Du Fu immediately entered Li Guangbi's mansion and told Li Guangbi that Li Tan was taken away by Gao Lishi. Li Guangbi was embarrassed when he heard this.Furthermore, this imperial decree is so decisive that there is no room for change.Li Guangbi persuaded Du Fu to follow Li Tan's order to guard Taiyuan. Du Fu saw that Li Guangbi was helpless, so he left Li Guangbi's mansion and turned into a courtyard full of pear trees next to Li Guangbi's mansion.

Yang Yifei came to Taiyuan one day earlier than Li Tan, but since Li Tan also came to Taiyuan, Yang Yifei did not meet Li Tan.Even though Yang Yifei knew that Li Tan tried his best to garrison Taiyuan, and skillfully regained Chang'an and Luoyang, his grudge against Li Tan did not diminish.Now that the Taiyuan war is about to end, Yang Yifei is planning to take Changge's disciples back to Qiandao Lake in a few days. At this time, he is discussing with Feng Xiyan, Han Feichi, Zhao Gongshang and others about the time to return to Qiandao Lake. Du Fu hurriedly walked into the courtyard, he was about to stand up and salute Du Fu, when Du Fu grabbed his wrist: "Yifei, King Jianning is wrong!"

Yang Yifei's face changed instantly, and his quiet heart suddenly beat violently, what will happen to Li Tan?

Yunxiu (2)

In the dark dungeon, there was a pungent smell of blood, Li Tan kicked away a corpse in disgust, and said to the person standing in the shadow: "I have seen your sincerity, please take the gift away .”

The person standing in the shadow gave a deep laugh, the candle shadow danced, and both the person and the corpse disappeared.

Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps in the quiet dungeon, and the person who was about to extinguish the candlestick frowned. He was only locked here for half a day, and there were quite a few people visiting him.

Gao Lishi looked at the quiet man inside the prison through the railing of the iron prison. The smell of blood wafted from the prison. Gao Lishi's expression darkened. The Lingxuege killer he sent did not succeed.

"Why didn't Eunuch Gao do anything?" The prison was dark, but Li Tan's eyes were full of Gao Lishi's expression just now.Gao Lishi wanted to take his own life secretly by the hands of Ling Xuege, and then said that King Jianning committed suicide in fear of crime, so that he would not be criticized by the people, it was really a good plan.

Gao Lishi gritted his teeth, but after a long time, he showed a flattering smile and said to Li Tan: "This old slave wants to make a deal with King Jianning."

Tonight, the sky was hazy and the moon was dim. Li Mi was standing on the tower of Lingwu City rubbing the jade tablet while letting out a big breath.The passing guards saw that Li Mi's eyelids were about to close together and advised Li Mi to go back to rest. Li Mi forced his eyes to open and said he wanted to watch the stars at night.The guards looked up and saw that there was no starlight on the pitch-black sky, they suppressed their laughter and stopped persuading Li Mi, and went on patrolling.

When the guards walked away, Li Bi let out another breath, and said to himself, "It's the best celestial phenomenon if you can't see clearly."

Li Tan didn't think about the deal Gao Lishi made with him just now, he was thinking about what Li Mi explained to him when he left Lingwu.Because of this, after Li Tan received Suzong's decree, Li Tan readily accepted the decree and went with Gao Lishi.

Li Tan was lying on the bed, the candle flame was beating, and the light was shining brightly and then dimly on Li Tan, the only sound in the quiet prison was Li Tan's breathing and the crackling of the candle flame.

"If the lower officials are unable to persuade the sage to take back the decree, the lower officials will ask Gao Lishi to proclaim the decree. If Li Fuguo or Queen Zhang's people are allowed to proclaim the decree, His Majesty will undoubtedly die. If Gao Lishi is allowed to go, there is still room for change. " Li Bi said to Li Tan that day.

"Although Gao Lishi is a person who is greedy for power, the saint doesn't believe in him. Besides, there is Li Fuguo beside the saint. It is impossible for Gao Lishi to be the same as before. He also knows his situation and urgently needs to join hands with powerful people. King Guangping is upright, he doesn't like him, but you, King Jianning, are the best opportunity for him to cling to him."

"If Gao Lishi wants to go back to the past, he must restore the Supreme Emperor, and the only person who has the ability to restore the Supreme Emperor is King Jianning. His Highness instigated the Mawei Mutiny, but the world only knows that it was the work of a saint. Emperor
