Liu Yi didn't expect Shangguan Wan'er to have nothing to spare in the future, and the time to invite her to a big meal had to be postponed again and again.

Due to the pill incident, the doctor Ming Chongyan was dismissed from prison and handed over to Dali Temple for trial.

After nearly ten days of interrogation, Ming Chongyan was speechless, unable to clear his charges, and was finally sentenced to death for treason, Emperor Li Zhi approved the case submitted by the Criminal Department in the fastest time, and Ming Chongyan was also taken to Xishi to be beheaded in a winter day with a light rain.

Hearing the news of Ming Chongyan's beheading, Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and that instinctive sense of danger suddenly disappeared.

Ming Chongyan didn't get rid of it, Liu Yi felt that he was going to be ruined by this person one day, and he was relieved to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Also, an important reason why Li Xian was suspected by Wu Zetian in history was because of Ming Chongyan's death, and now Ming Chongyan was convicted and killed by the Criminal Department, such a possibility does not exist, at least Wu Zetian has to find other reasons to convict Li Xian.

Another reason why Liu Yi wanted to get rid of Ming Chongyan was that he didn't want Ming Chongyan to "play" his role as in the original history, which led to Li Xian being suspected of being a murderer because of his death.

Liu Yi's methods can be said to be not above board, just in case, those animals and poultry used in the experiment were personally manipulated by him, but he was born as an agent, and he has done things a hundred times more indiscriminately than this in the later generations, in order to complete the task, for his own safety, it is normal to make some dishonorable means.

Ming Chongyan's death is also a practical verification of Liu Yi's ability to act secretly, which is something that makes him proud.

What made Liu Yi even more proud was that according to the treatment he provided, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian felt that their bodies were much better than before after a period of time, and some of the numbness, headache, and dizziness that had occurred in the past had been alleviated to a certain extent.

The time has come to the beginning of November, and it has been more than a month since the army of the Dingxiangdao marching department set out on the expedition, and after the rapid march of the various armies, except for the army that set out from Chang'an, which has just arrived in the Yunzhong area, the other counterinsurgency army composed of border troops has already encountered the enemy and there have been battles.

In the following days, from time to time, the situation of the war of the former army came back, and it was announced in the court meeting that in addition to the information known in the court meeting, Liu Yi also used other means to find out the progress of the war clearly.

Xiao Siye fought bravely, and the speed of the attack was beyond the surprise of the Turks, at the beginning of the battle one after another, the battle reports of the victory continued to be transmitted back to Chang'an, and later, from Chang'an, the right leading guard general Hua Dazhi, and the right Qianniuwei general Li Jingjia all had thousands of enemy annihilation reports, so that Liu Yi was very disappointed under the envy, this victory should have been his part, and his name should have been on the merit book, just because he was not in Luoyang, did not ask for war in front of the emperor and empress, so as to miss the opportunity.

Another court meeting said, Liu Yi on duty felt abnormal, Li Zhi, who seemed to be in good spirits during this period of time because of the victory of the war and the alleviation of some uncomfortable physical symptoms, was a little strange again.

When Liu Yi led his subordinates to meet him in the Immortal Palace, he also felt something strange from Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian also had a dignified look, which made Liu Yi a little surprised.

Hundreds of officials bowed, and the pilgrimage began.

Li Zhi, who didn't have a good face, stood up from the throne, waved a military newspaper in his hand and shouted: "Xiao Siye underestimated the enemy, was attacked by the enemy, and our army was defeated..."

Listening to Li Zhi's roar, Liu Yi was very surprised, the military report that came a few days ago was that the situation was very good, our army advanced in several directions, invincible, and the Turks were defeated, why did the situation reverse after only a few days?

Li Zhi continued to roar in the palace, the defeat of this battle was intolerable to him, before the army set out, he also specially told the two senior generals that they must be cautious, they can only win, not fail, but they did not expect to be defeated, which made the emperor Li Zhi, who was rarely angry in the court, also couldn't help but get angry.

From Li Zhi's roar, Liu Yi also understood the general course of the war, because our army won one victory after another, Xiao Siye was proud and did not pay attention to precautions, and encountered heavy snow in the course of the battle, our army did not continue to advance in the snow, and camped and garrisoned, but did not expect the Turks to attack our grain convoy and sneak attack our military camp at night.

Xiao Siye fled in embarrassment, the whole army was in chaos, and the army was not formed, because Xiao Siye led the elite border army dominated by cavalry to escape, Hua Dazhi and Li Jingjia led the infantry-based army to stay behind, Hua Dazhi and Li Jingjia were also brave generals, they still resisted stubbornly when the commander fled, led their infantry to fight and walk, and was able to retreat into the Shan Yu Duhufu, with the help of the city to resist the attack of the Turks.

The Turks did not bother to attack the city, and after several days of fruitless onslaught, they had to retreat.

When the ministers heard Emperor Li Zhi say about the defeat of Dingxiang Dao, they were all shocked.

A few days ago, the military newspapers that came back were all the news of the victory of our army, but I didn't expect that only a few days later, it turned into a rout on the whole front, and Xiao Siye, as the leading general, actually fled, and lost countless soldiers, which was undoubtedly a disaster.

Liu Yi was also dumbfounded after hearing this, he never thought that Xiao Siye, who belonged to the brave general in his mind, would be so cowardly, and when he was attacked by the enemy, he actually led his troops to flee and asked the infantry to cover them, which was too disappointing.

Xiao Siye, such an experienced general, led the troops to the battle, why did this happen, could Xiao Siye only be a general, not a handsome?

Liu Yi didn't know whether to be glad that he didn't participate in this expedition or what, he couldn't think of if he went out this time, the army would also suffer the same defeat, if it was really the same as now, not only would it not be able to make war achievements, but also be punished for the defeat, looking at the situation today, these generals who led the army could not escape the fate of being punished, Liu Yi was a little happy at the same time, but also felt sad for his former boss Li Jingjia.

After Li Zhi lost his temper, he also calmed down, looked at the ministers in the palace and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, tell me, how to deal with the aftermath of Dingxiangdao and how to deal with the defeated generals?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Dingxiangdao army has been defeated and Xiao Siye has fled, and the most important thing now is to stabilize the situation in the north and prevent the Turks from taking advantage of the chaos to attack our border towns!" Zhongshu ordered Xue Yuanchao to be the first to come out and say, "Xiao Siye is not enough to take charge of the overall situation, and other leading generals should be appointed to preside over the affairs of Anbei!"

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!" Shi Zhong pardoned Jun also followed the column, "Our army is newly defeated, and the harsh winter is coming, if there is no one who can take charge of the general situation and the prestige of the war generals in charge, not only can the rebellion in Anbei not be quelled, but also the governor's mansion, prefecture and county under the capital protectorate alone may be in turmoil!"

Shangshu's left servant, who already looked old, also stood up and played, "Your Majesty, the minister also seconded the proposal, Anbei can't be messed up, the minister is willing to go to Anbei and preside over the military affairs of Dingxiangdao!"

A large number of old people like Liu Renliang still stood up and asked for orders to go to the Anbei area with a harsh environment, and all the ministers, including Liu Yi, were very surprised and admired.

Emperor Li Zhi also looked at Liu Renliang, who had a white beard, with a complicated expression, and suddenly didn't know what to say...
