Speaking of which, the person Li Xian is least worried about in the entire Li clan is probably Li Dan. Although this guy looks suspicious, it also shows that he is a person who understands current affairs.

From childhood to adulthood, Li Dan didn't have any outstanding features, but he didn't do anything wrong. Even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty might not be able to say anything bad about King Yu.

This fact and the fact that Li Dan had abdicated the throne three times in "history", even Li Huang's rebellion is more convincing than Li Dan's rebellion.

It was also because of this that when Li Xian got the news, his whole body was in a bad mood. He was stunned for a long time before he turned to Zheng Qi and said with a puzzled expression: "This can't be that the imperial court is messing with us?"

Zheng Qi looked at him coldly: "What do you think is the benefit of lying to you?"

Li Xian suddenly went crazy: "Where is this playing? Why did he suddenly turn the other way? Boiling water has entered his mind!"

Zheng Qi knocked on the table and said: "You have time to go crazy here, why not hurry up and write a letter saying that you will go back to the capital to stabilize the situation, so you won't go back to Luoyang."

After hearing this, Li Xian sighed and had to start to write the melody bitterly. While writing, he couldn't figure it out. What's wrong?Why did Li Dan directly oppose it?Could it be that Wu Zhao did something?

However, Li Xian had never received any news before, and he and Li Dan often communicated and did not hear Li Dan saying that there were any restrictions there, and they were not even emptied, and the military power was also in his hands. For himself, Li Xian felt that Wu Zhao must also think that Li Dan is a bun to be so laissez-faire.

Could it be that they both read it wrong?Li Dan really wants to aspire to the throne?If so, does he help or not?

There were one question mark after another in Li Xian's mind. He was thinking and writing the memorial at the same time, and he actually finished writing the memorabilia without any mistakes in the format when he was concentrating on two tasks. It really is practice makes perfect.

Seeing that he finished writing, Zheng Qi took it over and looked at it for a while, then said: "That's it."

So... it was sent out, and Li Xian looked at Zheng Qi with some confusion: "What if Auntie asks me to suppress the rebellion?"

Anyway, it was the younger brother he watched growing up, not the cold name in the history book, Li Xian felt that he would never be able to meet Li Dan in battle.

Zheng Qi looked at Li Xian for a long time before asking: "If you knew the situation before and could stop it, now... King Yu and the Emperor of God are in the same situation and can no longer be friendly. You... have to make a decision in advance."

Li Xian was in a bad mood. He asked Zheng Qi because he couldn't make up his mind. As a result, Zheng Qi not only didn't give him an answer, but instead talked nonsense. What he thought of Li Xian also thought of it, so he was a little entangled .

It will take six or seven days for a memorandum to travel from Lingnan to Luoyang, and Li Xian still has six or seven days to make a decision. He only hopes that Li Dan is really strong enough not to be caught in the past few days. Just kill it.

Li Xian was so worried that he didn't sleep well for several days, and he lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye. After Zheng Qi saw it, he tried hard to urge him to eat, but he didn't give any advice. Now Zheng Qi has learned not to be left and right Li Xian's idea was to let him make his own decisions, not to avoid being responsible, but because Li Xian's political literacy had already been cultivated. From the perspective of the political situation, Li Dan would definitely not be able to win this matter.

Yes, even if Li Dan raised his troops, neither Li Xian nor Zheng Qi thought he could win. At the beginning, the Turkic Ashina Dewen Fu led the 24 and state troops to rebel against Tang. What was the result?

Now Li Dan only has soldiers and horses from ten states, how dare he?In this case, according to the balance of power, Li Xian should be on the side of God Emperor Wu Zhao to attack King Yu, but the question is, will Li Xian choose this path?Even Zheng Qi asked himself that he didn't know how to choose.

After worrying for three days in a row, Li Xian still didn't have a conclusion in his mind. To be honest, even if his strength was combined with Li Dan's, he might not be able to defeat Wu Zhao. He had such a vague idea in his mind, but the time was not yet ripe. How can it be done so easily?

Before he could figure it out, Zheng Qi suddenly threw him another question: "Whether it's the Emperor of God keeping the throne or the King of Yu taking the throne, if they know that you have the Nine Tripods Map in your hand, what do you think... what will happen to them?" ?”

Then I will die.

Li Xian covered his face silently. He suddenly felt that Zheng Qi was very hateful these two days, and he always asked him some questions that he couldn't answer at all. Finally, he sighed and said: "Let's wait for the news and see why Balang reacted." .”

This is the most puzzling thing for Li Xian. As a result, the court's report did not come that afternoon, but a letter from Li Chongyi and Zheng Jin arrived, which said that they had strengthened the defense of Chang'an and the surrounding counties, and then asked Li for advice. Xian and Zheng Qi, what are we going to do?

Of course, the central thought of these two children asking this question is: Are we going against the law, following the suppression, or doing nothing?

In fact, if there were only the two of them, it would be best to do nothing, but what Li Xian was most concerned about was why Li Dan rebelled.

Then... Li Xian felt the greatest malice from the universe.

Li Chongyi said that Li Dan rebelled because... Li Xian disappeared, and he suspected that Wu Zhao used the Liuzhao rebellion to find ways to get rid of Li Xian.

At first, there was no news. Li Dan thought it was because of the long distance and inconvenient communication, but there was no news of Li Xian for more than ten days, not even Li Chongyi and Zheng Jin, and there was no news about Zheng Qi—it was a war. , who is in the mood to write a letter home.

So Li Dan broke out, because Li Xian is the chief of the army, and as the regent, he doesn't need to go to the front line at all, he just needs to sit in the rear. If he is really in danger, either the Liuzhao is unprecedentedly powerful, and even the Tang army can't resist it. If they can't stop their attack, or Wu Zhao has resorted to tactics.

Li Dan intuitively thought it was the last one. He didn't know the situation of Liuzhao, but there was always a comparison. Compared with Tubo and Turks, Liuzhao's troops were far behind. Li Xian had fought against Tubo before and won. Turkic has fought and won. With such a record, how strong can Liuzhao be?

Damn it, the traitor is actually him!Li Xian felt that he was not well, but he also had some doubts. Isn't it normal that there is no news for more than ten days when the troops are sent out?Why did Li Dan feel that he must be framed by Wu Zhao?

After reading the letter, Zheng Qi chuckled: "You have even less choice."

Li Xian looked at him deadly, dear, is it really okay for you to gloat like this?relative!

Zheng Qi put the letter on the table and said: "Once this reason comes out, plus it is under your banner, this is different from the previous concept of Xu Jingye and Li Chong's rebellion."

Yes, the relationship between Li Dan and himself is so close. Not many people think that this is at his instigation. If he is really dead, it’s fine. The problem is that he is still alive. Li Dan rebelled before him and went back to Chang’an. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a set.

Li Xian was pressing the table tightly with his hand, and Zheng Qi was watching the ten slender fingers stretched so hard that they turned green, and seemed to feel the torment in Li Xian's heart.

"Go back to Chang'an first." Li Xian said decisively.

"Don't wait for the book to be made?" Zheng Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"Under this situation, do you think you can wait? Anyway, you have already made a report, and the reason is reasonable, and I am worried... If you stay here, you will really have to confess here."

Zheng Qi didn't say anything, but just nodded: "Then let's go tomorrow, just go, leave the local school lieutenant of Zhechong Mansion to guard, take the king of Liuzhao away, and say that he is going to Beijing to see the emperor !"

In order to prevent Liuzhao from going back on his word after they left, Zheng Qi decided to capture the king first, take the king away and then take over the capital of Liuzhao. Although this may cause a backlash, it is the only way to do so.

After Li Xian sent the order down, he wasn't afraid that Wu Zhao's people would know that he was actually sowing doubts, making the people sent by Wu Zhao think that he really got Wu Zhao's approval, and his reasons were reasonable. , the king of the Six Edicts was also taken away by them. Although Li Dan rebelled, this matter has not been widely spread, or it is too remote here in Lingnan, that is, Li Xian often communicated with Chang'an. a little.

After arranging all the matters in Lingnan, Li Xian led the brigade directly on the road. He often received news along the way. It seemed that Li Dan's side seemed to be going well. However, the governors of two states voluntarily surrendered, which always made Li Xian feel a little problematic.

Li Xian was very tired along the way, he couldn't let others see that he was wrong, he had to go as fast as possible, he didn't rest if he could, and he had to plan the route. Fortunately, Chang'an belongs to the hinterland of the Central Plains, so The location is relatively central, and because the official road is not really well-connected, it is normal to pass by Chang'an.

So the question now is, what excuse will they use to stay when they pass by Chang'an?Luoyang should have gotten the news, right?What will Wu Zhao do?

When Li Xian was thinking about this question, he never expected to meet rebels on the way!Li Xian was in a bad mood when he was stopped by someone. He thought it was Li Dan's soldiers and horses, but when he thought about it, the location was wrong. Laizhou was in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty. A little to the southwest, if Li Dan has the ability to fight all the way here, Li Xian doesn't have to worry about it, he can win properly, okay?

The rebel army was very polite when they intercepted them halfway. They shouted and killed them before they came up, and the leader of the rebel army came to see him in person.

Li Xian deeply felt that his news was too far behind, and it was impossible not to be in Chang'an. However, seeing that there were a lot of people on the other side, he didn't say anything more and met the other party directly.

The other party was Ba Chuan, the governor of Wuzhou. Of course, he was the leader, and other governors from three or four counties around the governor of Wuzhou participated in the mutiny.

Li Xian was very puzzled. He saw Ba Chuan because he didn't understand why these people rebelled, but to be honest, if they wanted to fight, Li Xian and his side really wouldn't necessarily lose. Although Li Xian and Zheng Qi didn't have enough guards, But the guards of the six kings are enough, and all of them are brave and good at fighting.

Yes, he has surrendered, but that doesn't mean he is a prisoner, okay?After all, he was also the king of a country, so he still had to have some ostentation, so the car guards were within a similar range, and Li Xian agreed, and these kings also brought some tribute items.

Li Xian met them at the post station. Needless to say, the station officials must have taken refuge with them. A dozen or so people, headed by the governor of Bazhou, knelt down when they saw Li Xian and said, "I pay homage to the regent."

Li Xian frowned when he saw them saluting. Although these people said they were paying homage to the regent, they were saluting as they would when meeting the emperor. If he hadn't confirmed that the entire inn was under his control, Li Xian felt that he might not survive tomorrow morning.

Moreover, he was forced to death by others, not by himself. I am very tired, but I feel that I can still hold on.

"Do you know that treason is a serious crime against the Nine Clans?"

These people are not from poor families. The family may not be a big family but it has developed well. After all, to be the governor of a state, first of all, IQ and EQ must be no problem. Then in this case, five or six states dare to rebel. Li Xian couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with the imperial court, resulting in a lack of control over the states?

However, although Wu Zhao has been killing people since he came to power, he has also promoted many people. Otherwise, the reform of the imperial examination has won the hearts of many people. There is no close relationship, which is very interesting.

Ba Chuan said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, we naturally know that treason is a serious crime, but now... no matter how we go, we will die, so we might as well give it a go!"

Li Xian was a little surprised: "A dead end? What's going on?"

If it was a dead end for one person, Li Xian would not be surprised, but if so many people are involved at the same time, they don't even care about their families, then this so-called dead end is really a problem.

Ba Chuan saw what was going on and said quickly: "Some time ago, the God Emperor ordered hundreds of thousands of households to be moved to Yongzhou, Wuzhou and other seven prefectures to realize Luoyang. Now that the number of households is insufficient, it seems that they will be accused. There is no other choice."

"Insufficient number of households?" Li Xian thought for a while and said, "How about resettling the refugees?"

He knew that the so-called insufficient number of households mentioned by the governor of Wuzhou was actually to ensure a certain population in the prefecture before making statistics, at least to ensure that the arable land in the prefecture and county was cultivated by people, right?So Li Xian felt that if the beggars and refugees were resettled, or if there were black households arranged there, they should be able to get together, right?

Where is the rebellion?

The Governor of Yongzhou smiled wryly and said, "Refugees... In recent years, the weather in the Tang Dynasty has been smooth, where did so many refugees come from?"

Huh?Li Xian was stunned for a moment before he realized that in the past, refugees usually appeared because of disasters or wars, their homes were destroyed, and there was no land to cultivate, so they became refugees. Nowadays, wars are usually at the border. There are basically none in the customs, plus the weather is good, everyone can eat enough, who would go to be a refugee, and it is not without difficulties to create difficulties.

Li Xian wiped his sweat silently, vaguely felt that this was his fault again, but it seemed useless to say who was right and who was wrong in this matter, could it be that he didn't care about the lives of the people and refused to sacrifice because of this?Obviously impossible.

So Wuzhou governor and the others didn't have much malice towards Li Xian, just because they couldn't meet the target, and when the time came, they would count as one, so don't even think about it.

Li Xian pondered for a while and said, "Although the Emperor of God is a little harsh at times, he won't wait for your life because of this matter."

Ba Chuan, the governor of Wuzhou, said indignantly: "It is not the Emperor of God, but the King of Wei who wants my life!"

King Wei?Wu Chengsi?After hearing this, Li Xian didn't find it strange at all. After asking around, he knew in his heart that these people had conflicts with the Wu family, and Wu Chengsi's gang didn't know anything else. Good hands, without Zhou Xinglai Junchen, they did not framing people less.

Li Xian was silent for a while and didn't know what to say. He asked directly: "So what do you want to do now?"

Although these people have already turned their backs, they haven't made much noise yet, or because they are still waiting and watching, they just contacted each other secretly, and are ready to send troops in one fell swoop.

Ba Chuan and the others glanced at Li Xian and said, "Please also ask the Regent King Kuang to restore the country!"

Oh shit!Just knew it was so!Li Xian was rather weak, he looked at Ba Chuan and the others and said, "What if I disagree?"

"If the regent disagrees, please stay in Yongzhou for a while, and I will go and persuade the king of Yu." The governor of Yongzhou said very frankly, he has already decided to rebel, what is there to be afraid of imprisoning a regent?

Li Xian looked around and said with a sneer, "You guys have to think about it carefully, the God Emperor once wanted to keep me in Luoyang, and now you want to follow the example of the God Emperor?"

The faces of the governor of Yongzhou and others changed. They also knew that Li Xian dreamed of going to Chang'an overnight. No one doubted that he had this ability, but...

Ba Chuan gritted his teeth and said, "It's true that Your Highness can escape the danger alone, but His Highness has always been benevolent and righteous, so how could he disregard the people around him?"

Li Xian looked at them with a sneer after hearing this, got up and left, the governor of Wuzhou and others also followed Li Xian, at this time Zheng Qi came over and asked: "What do you want to do?"

Sitting in front of the table, Li Xian was a little dazed: "How did the matter develop to this point?"

Wasn't it fine before?He just went to Lingnan to fight a battle, why did so many things happen when he turned back?Li Dan rebelled, and Wuzhou Governor and the others will also rebel. Although there are only 24 states in total, the scale of these 24 states is not comparable to that of Ashinad Wenfu and the others. After all, the so-called Turks The [-] prefectures are all in remote places, and some of them have even gone beyond the Great Wall, and the population is not large, but now... they are all prefectures and counties in Guanzhong!

It shouldn't be, isn't Wu Zhao firmly seated on the throne?Zheng Qi is not surprised. Even the previous God Emperor took a long time to secure the throne. The so-called Empress Shengming only started to work hard after she secured the throne. When facing the invasion of foreign enemies, they negotiated peace and did not directly fight with each other.

It's just not that time yet, especially with Li Xian as the regent, maybe it will be a little later?

Zheng Qi reached out and hugged him in his arms, kissed his forehead and said, "Don't worry too much, you can leave as long as you want."

"How to leave?" Li Xian smiled wryly, do you have to rely on the troops of King Liuzhao?

Zheng Qi smiled and said nothing, Li Xian always felt...something strange was going to happen when he saw his smile.

The next day Li Xian knew what Zheng Qi meant by saying that he could leave if he wanted to.

He Lanmin is here!

I don't know when Zheng Qi notified him, anyway, He Lanminzhi rushed over to pick up Li Xian with someone--He Lanmin came to win the battle later, although the title was promoted, but the position was not promoted, but was transferred to another Zhechong Mansion is the captain of Zhechong, and it happens that he is not far from Wuzhou.

When he brought people here, the governor of Wuzhou and the others wanted to give it a go, but Li Xian said at a critical moment: "You guys go to Chang'an with me, and we will talk about it after we have found out the matter. With me here, I will surely keep your family safe and sound! "

After hearing this, He Lanminzhi looked at Li Xian with a perverted smile: "Your Highness, are you still dreaming?"

Li Xian:? ? ?

He Lanminzhi slowly took out a few pieces of paper and said: "The names of the people on it are all court ministers killed by the God Emperor after King Yu's rebellion. Take a look."

Li Xian's heart was filled with flames of anger as soon as he came over and glanced at it.

Li Xian could see Zheng Jin's handwriting on it, but Li Xian would rather not understand the content on it.

Fengge Luantai Pingzhangshi Fu Youyi, Fengge servant Li Yuanyuan, Xiaguan servant Sun Yuanheng, Jizhou governor Lu Baoji, Si Liqing Ouyang Tong...

The deaths of these people were involved, and many others who had been on Li Xian's side were sent to prison and killed by Wu Chengsi and others. After looking at the lists, Li Xian's heart became cold after being angry.

In fact, many of these people are straight ministers. They don't form cliques for personal gain, they only do things that are in line with the righteousness in their hearts, but so many upright people are framed to death like this!

He Lanminzhi looked at Li Xian's cold expression and added a sentence: "This is just the beginning. After Xu Jingye's rebellion, time has changed and many courtiers have been implicated. I'm afraid this time..."

Li Xian: Damn, it’s reversed!
