Royal rice bug, worm worm!

Li Xi is reluctant to part with Wei Yu, how can Wei Yu part with him?

Mingming found the too-good-looking red box, but he was reluctant to throw him back. Instead, he stood silently by the side, and slowed down on purpose so as not to spoil his little golden bug.

It went on and on like this.

Wei Yu talked to Fig slowly, for example, the situation in Hebei Road, how to rescue the mountain due to heavy snow, Fig couldn't understand at all.

In fact, Wei Yu wanted to tell Li Xi to make him feel at ease.

Li Xi didn't understand either, but hearing Wei Yu's calm voice made her feel at ease.

The carriage swayed and swayed hypnotically, and I fell asleep without knowing it.

I hardly slept last night, and was extremely sleepy. After a full sleep, I found that I was no longer in the box.

Li Xi sat up happily, her eyes sparkling, "Are you in Hebei? Where's Brother Shuyun? Are you surprised?"

Fig had a bitter face, hesitant to speak.

Hu Jiao hugged the sword and looked at the sky and the earth.

Li Xi glanced at the furnishings in the room...

"Why did you come back?"

"It's revealed, it was revealed early in the morning!"

Fig sighed, "I just said don't use such a new box, Wei Shaoqing is so smart, he will definitely find it... A Lang, you don't know how good he was at that time, and Xiao Pepper and I believed it——Ah, A Lang, where did you go?"

Li Xi rushed out without saying a word.

Hu Jiao stopped him and sent him a letter in a daze.

"Written by Wei Shuyun?"

When angry, never sweetly call "Brother Shu Yun"!

With a stern face, Li Xi tore open the letter indiscriminately, and saw two lines of words written on the letter——

"Obey, wait for me to come back."

"If you don't behave well, the wedding in August next year will be postponed."

"Is he threatening me? Is he threatening me?" The little gold bug frowned, stared, and a small flame burst out of his head.

Fig took three steps back and nodded boldly.

"How dare you threaten me!"

"It's not because I like him!"

Li Xi grabbed the letter and ran around the room like a little bullfighting bull.

Hu Jiao felt distressed when she saw it, and said firmly: "Then don't like it, don't marry, marry someone else."

Li Xi paused, "It's not like..."

Hu Jiao: "..."

Fig:"……"

Can you fight me a little bit?

In the relationship, how do you live up to it?

The anger is gone, and the emotion is gone.

On weekdays, it seems that Li Xi is coquettish, domineering and explosive, but Wei Yu goes along with everything.In fact, when it comes to serious matters, Wei Yu still has to listen.

Like this time.

Of course, Wei Yu's original intention in making a decision was never for self-interest, so Li Xi had to accept it.

Another example is this time.

Li Xi knew very well in his heart that Wei Yu didn't let him go, and Li Hong didn't let him go because they all regarded him as the future prince. At least in the hearts of the people, he was safe and sound, and the future of the great cause was stable.

Li Xi was sulking for a while, and went to court the next day alive and kicking.

It stands to reason that the pilgrimage should be suspended after the small year, but this year's situation is special, the big pilgrimage has been cancelled, and the daily small pilgrimage has to go.

It was so cold, Li Xi didn't want to leave the warm bed at all, but for his brother Shuyun, he still struggled to get up.

He's going to keep an eye on those old men, lest they trip Brother Shuyun!

There are also some selfish clansmen who, in order to fight for power and profit, don't care about the foundation of the country. What if there are those black-hearted ones who harmed him, brother Shu Yun?

Also heartbroken.

The bad news came unexpectedly—East Turkic rebellion.

"Is that the flat-faced prince? The one I cut at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?" Li Xi asked.

"It's not just him, more than a dozen tribes of the East Turks have turned against each other." Li Hong's face was sullen and his brows were furrowed.

The snowstorm in Hebei Province was severe, and most of the northern border troops were transferred south to rescue the disaster. The Eastern Turks had long been rebellious, and it is not surprising that they rebelled at this time.

Li Hong took precautions in advance, issued a secret order to the garrison of Sumohe early in the morning, and ordered Qibi Namu to lead 10 troops to guard Yuguan.

However, these forces alone cannot stop the East Turks from attacking in full.

Li Hong looked at the faction of the clan, and said in a deep voice: "You are all generals who lead the army. They also fought against the Turks back then. Now that the national crisis is imminent, are you willing to take command and go out?"

All the elites looked at the sky, and those who looked at the ground looked at the ground.

This one said: "It's not that the veterans don't want to lead the army, it's just that they are old and weak. They haven't held a gun for many years. I'm afraid I'll miss a big deal..."

The one said: "The sage also knows that the subject has suffered from a secret illness earlier, and his legs hurt when he encounters cold air. Let alone killing the enemy with a horse, even standing for a moment will kill half of his life!"

"Then you should sit down, lest you accidentally die." Li Xi said coolly.

"you--"

Li Xi ignored him, and said to Li Hong: "Let me go, I am young and strong, and my riding and shooting are no worse than these old men. I will definitely beat that flat-faced prince to pieces."

Li Hong looked at him, not very angry.

Li Xi was worried that the people in the northern border were true, and he was even more worried about Wei Yu. He was afraid that the Turks would invade and Wei Yu would be in danger.

"No." Li Hong flatly refused, not bothering to say the reason.

Li Xi was not convinced, "Why can't it work, maybe I'm better than you! These days I have been learning the art of war with General Xu, and I went to the big sister's camp to make gestures a few days ago-General Xu, you Say, am I doing well?"

General Xu Ji, who was born in a common family, fought with King Ding in the South and North, and had a natural affection for Li Xi who was raised under the name of King Ding since he was a child.

"That's right, the little prince is very smart, he can see through everything, and he can come up with a sneaky idea from time to time—hey, why are you pushing me?"

Next to him, another great general, Gu An, gave him an annoyed look - shut up if you don't want to be scolded!

Xu Ji wasn't very smart, but he was very self-aware. He recognized that Gu An was a smart person, so he caught him alone and listened to him. That's how he went from being a small soldier to a general.

"Ah, so what, the little prince is still young and doesn't know the dangers of the battlefield, so don't go."

Li Xi: Hehe.

"Grandfather, just let me go, even if you let me be a mascot, just by the side of General Xu, will it work?"

"Grandpa" was called out, which shows how great the sacrifice was.

"Xiaobao doesn't have to go, I will go." Li Xianzhi cupped his fists and gave a sergeant's salute.

It was Li Hongxuan who came here. It was an urgent matter, so there was no need to pass it on, and she went directly into the hall.

"Then I'll go with Sister, Sister will definitely protect me." Li Xi stuck to Li Xianzhi again, winking and begging desperately.

Li Hongchui looked at the map on the case, and said in a deep voice: "You stay in Chang'an and perform the duty of supervising the country. I want you to personally conscript."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

No one expected that Li Hong would make such a decision.

The courtiers objected, the queen mother was reluctant to give up, Li Xi blamed himself so much, was he too self-willed, and made the stinky father stupid?

Even the elite faction sincerely persuaded them that the reason why they put on airs to take Joe was to force Li Hong to bow his head and reuse them, but they didn't want to put Li Hong in danger.

Only Zheng Jiarou understood Li Hong.

Even though you were worried, you still said softly, "I know, you don't want the people on the border to suffer, and you don't want Xiaobao to lose his mind and do everything possible to escape. You want to boost morale and take down East Turk in one go, don't you?"

Li Hong held her hand and nodded slowly.

As a king, he is worthy of the common people; as a father, he is worthy of Li Xi, but only her.

Seventeen years ago, when they had just made a private decision for life, he left her and went to the northwest; now, after less than a month of marriage, he is going to leave her again...

"Go, I am not alone now, there is mother, Xiaobao, and countless people in Chang'an. We will wait for you here and return safely."

Zheng Jiarou smiled all the time without shedding a single tear.

"...Okay." Li Hong choked up and couldn't speak.

He picked her up and placed her gently on the dragon bed.

But the movement was very hard, as if to give up the next few days.

The curtain swayed lightly, lingering all night.

Li Hong was not considered smart, nor did he have very clever methods. Since he took the throne, he had been walking steadily without any outstanding achievements. This made many people think that he was a mediocre monarch.

Also, the Turkic blood in him would be brought up by the orthodox Qingliu family from time to time, and the common people would inevitably be affected.

The decision of Yujia to personally conquer reminds people that he once wielded a horse and wielded a sword and killed all directions; he ascended to the throne with the blood of his brothers, not to mention mere Turkic blood?

He can kill the Turkic rebels.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Hongyu drove in person.

Li Xianzhi and several generals from the imperial court were also on the expedition. Only two generals, Xu Ji and Gu An, stayed in Chang'an, and they were also the two with the best relationship with Li Xi.

All the people in the city came to see them off.

Li Xi was wearing an apricot-yellow robe, standing on the tower, watching the figure in the golden helmet gradually walk away, turning into an unrecognizable dot.

"Father, you can really rest assured that if you give me the power to supervise the country, you won't be afraid that I will toss Chang'an City for you."

Li Xi complained mercilessly, but his heart was sour, and he desperately begged Guanyin Bodhisattva, Queen Mother, Empress Da Luo Jinxian, and sister to bless Li Hong, bless Wei Yu, bless the soldiers who went to war, and bless the border people.

"Although it's a little too much, but I will definitely offer it sincerely, so I'll leave it to you."

Seeing the way his eyeballs were rolling and messing up, the Empress Dowager and Zheng Jiarou both smiled, most of the sadness of parting disappeared unknowingly.

Meanwhile, outside the city.

Standing on the slope, Haoyue sneered: "Everyone who should go has gone, and the next thing will be easy to handle."

On the official road, an inconspicuous carriage drove quickly, someone lifted the curtain and looked around cautiously.

Haoyue's smile deepened, "The one who should come has also come."

He strode forward and walked towards the green tented carriage.

When the people in the car saw him, their eyes widened, "Why are you?"

Haoyue raised her eyebrows, "I didn't expect you to still be playing dumb? Didn't you come here after seeing my token?"

"I thought you were dead, so I came to collect your body!" The eldest prince looked angry.

Haoyue chuckled: "When I die, someone will collect the body, so it's not in vain."

"Crazy." The eldest prince cursed in a low voice, and angrily lowered the curtain of the car, "Go home!"

The coachman didn't move, but held his hand respectfully towards Haoyue, "Subordinate Kosan, come and report back."

Haoyue waved her hand, "Go down!"

The eldest prince was dumbfounded, "He, he, when was he bought by you?"

This person is his most trusted secret guard!

Otherwise, they wouldn't have brought him out alone today!

"It turned out to be my person, why would you buy it?"

The eldest prince was so angry that he grabbed the reins and was about to run.However, before he could finish running, he was dragged from the car by Hao Yue, who hooked his waist.

"Bastard! Scum! Let me go!"

The eldest prince was half a head shorter than Haoyue, and he was thin. He was held in Haoyue's arms like a little chick who was powerless to resist.

Haoyue hugged him and walked into the valley, "The matter is over, I will naturally let you go."

The eldest prince became impatient, and said indiscriminately: "What a fart! Let me tell you, put away those fancy things of yours as soon as possible, and the great cause of the country will not change its surname, let alone fall into the hands of a person of unknown origin like you!"

Haoyue's complexion changed, and she said coldly: "Did you really hear that day?"

"I, I, I, I just heard it, otherwise why do you think I broke up with you? Even if I like men, I don't like... like me..."

The following words are hard to say.

The eldest prince closed his eyes, "Anyway, I won't be used by you anymore, you can kill me now!"

"Alright." Haoyue pulled out the dagger and gesticulated on his neck.

"Ah, no!" The eldest prince immediately softened in fright.

Haoyue sneered, lifted the man on her shoulder, and dragged him away.

New Year's Eve.

It was supposed to be brightly lit and the reunion was festive, but urgent reports came from the Taiji Hall——

"Haoyue regards herself as the descendant of Prince Li, raised the banner of 'spoofing and supporting the orthodox', and raised troops to rebel!"

"His private soldiers gathered outside the gate of Tonghua, taking the king of Ruijun, 33 family members of officials and dozens of people as hostages, and demanded that the prince open the city gate."

"The deputy general of the Anhua army rebelled and killed General Li. He is leading the Anhua army towards the imperial city, and will approach Kaiyuanmen in half an hour."

"The Turkic people in the city are making trouble, claiming to be bullied by the Han people, and unite thousands of Hu people to seek justice. According to the investigation of Dali Temple, the leader should be the nail buried in Chang'an by the Eastern Turkic people."

"..."

In the main hall, everyone was looking at Li Xi.

The panic of the palace people, the expectations of the officials, the worries of the Empress Dowager and Zheng Jiarou, and those dark and contemptuous gazes all fell into Li Xi's eyes.

He was only 16 years old, his cheeks still had unabated baby fat, his shoulders were thin, and the apricot prince's suit was a little empty on his body.

When the eyes were lowered, the slender eyelashes trembled slightly, immature and innocent.

The queen mother was very distressed, and it was rare to lower her tone: "This is not about King Fu alone. All the ministers are far older than him, have more knowledge and experience than him, why don't we discuss it together!"

But Li Xi raised his face, his eyes were firm, "Grandmother don't have to worry, my father gave me the power to supervise the country before he left, and it is my duty to guard Chang'an and protect the people."

"I take this responsibility."

"I have this responsibility."

His father, his brother, the man he loved, fought far away.His grandmother, mother, and sisters are behind him and need his protection.

How can he escape?How can you back down?

The Empress Dowager paused for a moment, and there was a flash of water in her eyes, "Okay, okay!"

Her books, grown up.

Zheng Jiarou looked at Li Xi and nodded slightly.

At this time, she was no longer that gentle and docile appearance. She was three points less kind and seven points more majestic in the queen's court dress.

Li Xi became more determined, "What do you think, let's talk about it!"

Cui Yuan was the first to come out, and he said succinctly: "Haoyue chose to be under the city today, so he must have made perfect preparations. He said that he wanted to enter the city for peace talks, and he did not know what kind of tricks were hidden behind it."

The most treacherous thing is that he did not directly attack the city, but used the orders of the First Prince and the people to force Li Xi to open the city gate, and kept saying that he did not want to hurt the people in the city, and wanted to talk to Li Xi calmly.

He said all the good things, and the responsibility was pushed to Li Xi's head.

If Li Xi doesn't open the city gate, he doesn't care about the life and death of his subjects, he doesn't care about brotherhood, and he doesn't want to talk peacefully.

In this way, Haoyue would have enough reasons to kill the eldest prince, and then push it to Li Xi, and would attack with force under the slogan "failed in peace talks, forced to do nothing".

However, once the city gate is opened, it is tantamount to attracting wolves into the house. The common people will not understand Li Xi's difficulties. They will only remember that he was weak and surrendered, which brought them disaster.

There will be only a few pens in the history in the future, and what will be recorded will be "Fu Wang did not keep Chang'an", not his worry about those hostages taken by Haoyue.

He can't recite this infamy.

Therefore, Cui Yuan said decisively: "The gate of the city cannot be opened, people can think of other ways to save it."

"What can we do? Cui Zhongcheng's family members are not among them, so don't worry, right? Didn't you hear the thief say that he will kill someone a quarter of an hour later!"

The jumper was an official from the household department, and his whole family of a dozen or so members was detained by Haoyue.

Like Cui Yuan, the Hubu Shangshu thought for Li Xi's sake, "If the city gates are opened, how will the thieves cooperate with the hidden piles in the city? At that time, if there is a disturbance and more people are injured, will you bear the responsibility?"

Li Xi thought silently, if Brother Shu Yun was here, what would he do?
