Chang'an, the residence of the Great Sima.

Wow, wow, wow!

A crisp sound of footsteps came from far and near, and Da Sima Li Wei glanced at the two people who walked in at the door, and then slowly got up to greet him.

"It's rare for Wen You and Yuan Zhong to come to the Great Sima Mansion together, and our Mansion is full of splendor!" Getting up and taking two steps, Li Dao stopped and said with a smile on his face.

However, the words sound kind, but they are soft and hard, and they are quite sarcastic.

Obviously, Li Dao didn't want to see Li Xuan and Li Ru, but because of the etiquette and affection, he had to get up and make a show, so as not to be truthful.

"As a subordinate, how dare I have Lao Da Sima stand up to greet him, see Da Sima!" Li Xuan and Li Ru are not easy to bully, and while bowing, Li Xuan said quietly and respectfully.

"Hehehe!" The corners of Li Wei's mouth twitched slightly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but the smile on his face did not change, and he raised his hand and said: "We are not outsiders, we can't write two Li characters in one stroke, in the future, Wen You and Yuan Zhong must not be so formal, please sit down and talk." ”

After a little greeting, Li Dao gently put down the teacup and asked with a smile: "The two of them are important ministers in the court, and they have every opportunity, why do they have time to come to our mansion today?" If there is something to discuss, the two of them are okay to talk about, and there is no need to scruple. ”

Indeed, for a long time, the relationship between Li Dao and Li Ru and Li Xuan has been very delicate, not far or close, not familiar with each other, businesslike, and just nodding friends. In the past half month, as the news of Li Li's distress returned to Chang'an, the relationship between the two sides that the well water did not interfere with the river water was broken, and there was a tendency to tear the face and the needle point to the wheat mang, and the relationship was very stiff, and they were wary of each other, and quietly formed a situation of antagonism with each other.

It is precisely because of the contradictions between them that the atmosphere in the entire Chang'an City is extremely tense. So much so that hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China were silenced one after another, and they lived in a simple place, for fear that they would be killed by making a mistake.

At the same time, the county soldiers stationed in the imperial city of Chang'an were not calm inside, and the deputy commanders of the county soldiers, Hu Zhen and Yang Dinger, privately transferred troops to the east gate and the south gate. For this reason, the two generals Hu and Yang had a fierce dispute with the main general Tie Tuo, if Li Xuan had not stepped forward in time to stop it, the two sides almost met each other and fought infighting.

Therefore, at present, Chang'an City has become a confrontation and separatist situation. Hu Zhen and Yang Dinger, who had always been close to Li Dao, led 20,000 county soldiers to occupy the east and south gates. Although he did not dare to blatantly disobey the military orders of the general's mansion, he prevaricated in every possible way and refused to retreat. The West Gate, the North Gate, the Desheng Gate, the Triumphal Gate and other ten city gates are still in the hands of Tietuo, and they are under the unified command of the Wei General's Mansion.

Now, this stalemate has been going on for 10 days. The situation is becoming increasingly tense, and both sides are trying to exercise restraint. It's like a precursor to the coming storm.

And the reason why the situation in Chang'an is so bad. Its source is in Xiliang coach Li Li. If it weren't for the rumors that he had been killed and killed, no one in the Xiliang generals would dare to act rashly, and no one would dare to openly disobey the orders of the Wei General's Mansion. Fortunately, the main battalions do not know the news of Li Li's accident yet, or the battalion owners do not believe that the coach Li Li has been killed, so they are all waiting and waiting. Respond to change with the same. If the main battalion also participated, the entire Xiliang situation would be really chaotic, and a big melee would be inevitable.

Just when the situation in Chang'an was tense, Li Xuan and Li Ru came to visit Li Dao in the Great Sima Mansion.

This move really surprised Li Dao. There are many suspicions, and I don't know what the hell these two are doing.

Seeing the suspicious look on Li Dao's face, Li Xuan and Li Ru looked at each other and smiled.

Immediately, Li Xuan got up and bowed to Li Dao in the hall and waved his hand, and said respectfully: "Today's subordinates have made a special trip to apologize to Da Sima. ”

"Oh? Why did Yuan Zhong say this? Li Wei groaned in astonishment, his expression becoming more and more solemn, full of doubts.

After a while, he didn't wait for Li Xuan to answer, he took the initiative to wave his hand and said, "Yuan Zhong doesn't have to be so polite. You and Wen You are both important henchmen under Wenchang, and they have heavy responsibilities, so why should you apologize for things within your duties. Yuan Zhong said bluntly, what is the important matter of the two of you here? ”

"Since Da Sima is bluntly inquiring, how dare Yuan Zhong conceal it and not report it." Li Xuan smiled indifferently in response. Then he retreated to the side and sat down without hurry, and said with a relaxed expression: "Yesterday, the lord sent a letter, telling me to wait for a while, and I can return to Chang'an in a few days." ”

"Ahh Wenchang is fine———" Li Dao was shocked when he heard this, got up suddenly, and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Exactly." Li Xuan nodded and continued: "Brother Xiahou deliberately wanted to put the lord to death, mobilized the dead soldiers of the family to follow him for a month, and in the end, Xiahou Tang even died with the lord at the cost of his life. It's a pity that they didn't expect that the lord was born with a dragon king, he was a tiger on the shore, and a dragon when he went into the water. Therefore, although the lord suffered a great calamity, he was unharmed. A few days ago, the lord had ordered Li Zhi, the commander of the personal guard, to take the lead in returning to Sili, and this morning he had led Jin Yiwei back to Chang'an, and he was outside the door at the moment. ”

"Zicheng is here?" Li Dao's complexion changed when he heard this, a look of surprise crossed the corners of his eyes, and his face showed panic, and he was already in a state of confusion. Immediately, he said sharply to the butler serving beside him: "Still stunned, please invite General Zicheng in!" ”

"Oooo

Under Li Wei's shocked gaze, Jin Yiwei led Li Zhi to stride into the lobby, and then arched his hand: "The last general Li Zhi pays a visit to Da Sima!" ”

"Zicheng has worked hard all the way, please sit down and rest!" Seeing Li Zhiyan's extremely cold face, Li Zhi was inexplicably stunned, and hurriedly raised his hand and said.

Li Zhi didn't move when he heard this, and said with a calm face: "Thank you Da Sima for your love, I will come here to convey the Lord's warrant, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time." ”

"Oh?" Li Wei looked at Li Zhi with a stunned expression, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know what Wenchang said in his letter?" ”

"According to the order of the lord general, Zhonglang will promote Hu Zhen to Jinwu, Zhonglang will promote Yang Ding to Chang'an City Gate Order, and the second will lead 20,000 county soldiers to defend the defense of Gyeonggi City from now on, which is subordinate to the Great Sima Moderation. The commander of the county government soldiers led the Tietuo Department to withdraw from the imperial city, and the garrison of Yiwu only needed to maintain the law and order of Sanfu County. From now on, the military and political affairs of Chang'an City will be in charge of the Great Sima, and the General Wei's Mansion will issue food and salary once every six months, and all the civil and military forces of the Xiliang Army shall not interfere in the military and political affairs of Chang'an! ”

After speaking, Li Zhi took out Li Lixin's silk from his arms and handed it to Li Dao, and whispered, "Before leaving." The lord asked the last general to tell the big Sima: The uncle and nephew are blood relatives, and the lord can do everything he should do, and he hopes that the big Sima will manage the imperial city well, and there will be no mistakes. ”

After speaking, Li Zhi bowed and waved his hand, turned around and strode away.

As soon as Li Zhi left, Li Xuan and Li Ru immediately got up to say goodbye, only Li Zhi was still sitting in the main seat in a daze, and his eyes were dull.

After leaving the Great Sima Mansion, Li Ru and Li Xuan drove to General Wei's Mansion in the same carriage.

"The lord still remembers the love of his uncle and nephew. This time, instead of blaming Da Sima, he handed over the entire Chang'an City to him. Doesn't the lord know that Da Sima has different ambitions? Inside the carriage, Li Ru whispered to Li Xuan quite worriedly.

Li Xuan smiled indifferently when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wen You doesn't have to be angry. In fact, the lord's plan is far-reaching and well-intentioned!

For almost two years. Da Sima has always wanted to regain military power, and he has worked hard to do so. Small movements are constant. The lord knows this. But he never asked, and turned a blind eye. This time, Chang'an has the tendency to be in turmoil again, and the situation is worrying, but the lord directly sent Hu Zhen, Yang Ding and other old generals to serve under the big Sima account at this time, which seems to be a last resort, but in fact it is not.

Hu Zhen and Yang Dinger will be safe and sound as long as they learn that the main party is safe. They didn't dare to make trouble at all, and when the lord returned, the two of them would definitely take the initiative to go and ask for the guilt. Now the lord not only did not blame them, but gave them promotions and powers. Render good for evil. In this way, the two of them dare to have different hearts, how can they not serve their lives! ”

Speaking of this, Li Xuan said softly thoughtfully: "The generals that Da Sima secretly contacted this time, in addition to Hu Zhen and Yang Ding, there must be other generals in the army, and it may even be the commander of the main battle camp. It's just that none of these people acted rashly, only Hu Zhen and Yang Dinger couldn't help but take the lead. Now that the lord is safe and sound, these generals will naturally dispel their thoughts, and the two generals Hu Zhen and Yang Ding were not punished, but were appeased by the lord. In fact, the lord appeased not such people who committed rebellion, but other generals in the army who were friendly with Li Dao. ”

Li Rushen nodded approvingly, and sighed lightly: "In this way, the two of us are too anxious, and the methods are too intense, so that Da Sima is afraid that we will be unfavorable to him, so he hurriedly summoned Hu Zhen, Yang Ding and others to seize the city gate. It's just that this matter will be resolved sooner or later, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and Xiliang can't accommodate two people who give orders. Now Da Sima is in charge of the court and sits in Chang'an, although the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and our army know that the lord is the lord of Xiliang, and the discerning people can naturally see the reason, but the ordinary people do not know what it is! In the long run, Da Sima's prestige will become higher and higher, and the lord will become a foil, which will inevitably cause a catastrophe sooner or later! ”

Li Xuan shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Wen You still doesn't know enough about the lord. The lord attaches great importance to family affection and has always respected Da Sima, so he will repeatedly accommodate Da Sima. However, Da Sima went too far this time, exposing his ambition to regain military power, which made the lord extremely annoyed.

At the beginning of the battle in the southern suburbs, the lord and the big Sima had already made an agreement, the lord was in charge of the troops, and the big Sima sat in the court. Over the years, the lord has been fulfilling his old promise and has never crossed it, but Da Sima has reversed his word, is hungry for power, and is still ambitious, trying to regain control of the military and government and dominate Xiliang. He regarded his lord's respect for him as cowardice, and his lord's trust in him as a bargaining chip, and became more and more unscrupulous. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xuan sneered: "Hehehe, people know it!" If Da Sima really has the ability to dominate Xiliang, how could he lose to the lord. In other words, the lord pacified Xiliang in a few years and took charge of the land of Xiliang Sanzhou, with great achievements and high prestige, which is incomparable to Da Sima!

You cannot live if you have done your own iniquity. Next, it depends on what Da Sima thinks himself, if he can understand the good intentions of the lord, then there is still room for redemption, otherwise 、、、、、、"
