Li Mu asked again: "Just just now, the general said that the prince and the three guards only obey the prince. How can I command it? Could it be that the prince will also go to suppress the rebellion this time?"

Hou Junji smiled bitterly and said, "It's true, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks. The prince's personal expedition is rare in ancient and modern times."

Hou Junji's words had profound meanings, and Li Mu also heard them. He glanced at Hou Junji and responded with gratitude. In Hou Junji's position, it was not easy for him to remind him that this step was not easy.

This matter is not as simple as it seems, but when I ask Li Shimin at this time, I will definitely not get any results. Li Mu thought about it, but I couldn't think of anything. The history he came into contact with was all about the competition for favor between Li Tai and Li Chengqian. The rebellion of King Li You of Qi was mostly a joke, and there was no detailed information in my memory for reference. In the original historical trajectory, Li You's rebellion occurred about half a year before Li Chengqian's rebellion, and the popularity continued very short. Later, Li Chengqian forced the palace and all his attention was attracted. Even the historian was too lazy to describe such stupid things.

The real situation still has to wait for Qizhou and adapt to the situation.

Leaving from the Ministry of War, Li Mu entered the imperial city. He wanted to say goodbye to Li Shimin, and then he was going to lead the army to fight. Li Chengqian was also here with Li Shimin, so Li Mu was relieved. At the time of parting, Li Shimin took out a set of armor and put it on Li Chengqian.

"This set of armor was worn by me when I was fifteen years old when I was leading the army in battle." Li Shimin stroked the scales of the armor, and the marks of swords were covered with swords. Every trace seemed to tell the story of the bloody storm at that time. Li Shimin woke up from the memories, patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder and said, "My son is thirteen years old this year, and he can wear my fifteen-year-old armor. It can be seen that my son is much stronger than I used to be."

"Father--" Li Chengqian's nose was sore, and tears were rolling in his eyes. In his memory, he never heard such gentle words since his father ascended the throne and became emperor. The father seemed to be much more partial, thinking about Qingque in everything. Li Chengqian once really thought that he was not valued by his father. He also believed that the officials in the East Palace had the intention of being easy to save. It was impossible to say that there was no pressure.

But today, Li Chengqian could really feel the rare love for Li Shimin. In Li Shimin's eyes, he cared about this son. The young man's heart was filled with passion and blood, and he rushed straight into his forehead: "Father, my son must return in triumph!"

"Don't be stubborn." Li Shimin took Li Chengqian's hand and put it in Li Mu's hand, saying, "Everything must be followed by your elder brother's arrangements, and do not act recklessly. Although you are the prince, you must defend the rules in the army. It is necessary to enforce orders. If you can't do it, you will never lead troops to fight again in your life."

Li Chengqian said solemnly: "My son must abide by the rules. In the army, there is only deputy general Li Yu, and there is no prince Li Chengqian."

"Okay," Li Shimin nodded, looked at Li Mu again, and said, "I have handed over all my two sons to you. Li Mu, go early and come back soon."

"I will definitely come back before the New Year." Li Mu promised, paused for a moment, and Li Mu said again: "I have passed by Luoyang when I went to Qizhou. I have not returned. Please pay more attention to the affairs of Miaojiang and the Foreign Affairs Office. Especially the affairs of Miaojiang are written in previous memorials. Although I am proficient in my life, I have no selfish intentions. They are all for Your Majesty and for the court. The matters about the Tang family are just a little bit of my opinion. If Your Majesty thinks it is inappropriate, you can discuss with you and decide again. If I am far away in Qizhou, I will not participate."

"I will finish these things before you come back." Li Shimin knew what Li Mu meant. If he followed his advice, after the Tang family moved to Miaojiang, it is very likely that the Tang family would become the king of southern Xinjiang and the local emperor. This is a matter of violation, but Li Shimin did not care much about it and said, "I have never doubted Tang Jian's loyalty. But I am a little unbearable. Although the Miaojiang area is not small, snakes and insects are everywhere and miasma is everywhere, which is incomparable to the Central Plains. I was confused for a moment and demoted Tang Jian there. Whenever I think about it, I feel that I have done a little too much. I want to rush for an opportunity to transfer him back. I will communicate with Tang Jian for this matter, so you can rest assured."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Li Mu said that, he wanted to take Li Chengqian away. When he walked to the door, Li Shimin suddenly called them.

He looked at Li Chengqian, silent for a while, and said, "If you are the pioneer and you have captured Qizhou City, what should you do?"

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and looked at it, obviously he had never thought about it. After all, he was told that he wanted to listen to Li Mu and be a deputy general, and he would not have the opportunity to be a pioneer. But since Li Shimin asked, he couldn't help but answer. He thought for a while and said, "First post a notice to relieve the people and appease the people..."

His tone was a little uncertain, and he secretly glanced at Li Mu. Li Mu did not respond, so Li Chengqian had to say again with certainty: "Please the people."

"How to deal with the traitor?"

A trace of splendor flashed through Li Mu's eyes. Here comes the classic scene of palace fighting dramas, detecting people's hearts. He couldn't help but look at Li Chengqian and thought to himself, little brother, whether you can be the emperor depends on how you go back.

He wanted to help, but he couldn't help. First of all, he didn't know what the standard answer was in Li Shimin's mind. If he wanted to destroy the traitors, Li Shimin might say, do you treat your brother as a traitor? Do you want to kill your younger brother? You want to learn from your father-

Maybe he has a problem like this, but if he turns around, Li Chengqian said that I must advise my younger brother to treat him well, it is also a problem? The king and father are in front and the father are in the back. Rebellion is a great rebellion. What happened to his son, he cannot be exempted from punishment!

So no matter how you answer, it is a pitfall. Whether Li Chengqian can answer correctly or wrongly is just a matter of luck.

"This..." Li Chengqian was also a little panicked, but his thirteen-year-old IQ obviously couldn't imagine that much. After a brief silence, Li Chengqian said: "Is the son-in-law just a pioneer and can't make such a decision. Didn't the father say that he would listen to the arrangements of the elder brother?"

Li Mu raised his eyebrows unexpectedly and thought, this kid would turn the blame.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Then do it, you are the pioneer, and after you break the city, let your elder brother deal with the rebellion."

"Oh." Li Chengqian became happy, looked at Li Mu, and said, "Brother, I am a vanguard. You can't let me hide in the back."

"Your Majesty has the order, you should obey the order." Li Mu also responded. Li Chengqian was so happy that he jumped two feet high, saluted Li Shimin with Li Mu, and turned around and went out together.

Li Shimin watched the two of them walk away through the glass window. After a long time, he sighed slowly. He turned around and found that there was one more person in the hall, which was Yuan Tiangang who had returned from Luoyang's "Yunyou" at some point.

"Are I a little too hasty?"

"Your Majesty has been worrying too much. He has been operating for many years and has been shutting down the net once and has won the number of numbers in one go. There is no rush." ​​Yuan Tiangang only learned about Li Shimin's complete plan in recent days, and was full of admiration. He was able to make such a plan and be able to be as good as a rock. Li Shimin is worthy of being a hero of a generation. Everyone knows that he is a general of Tiance and has outstanding achievements, but he does not know that his plan is not comparable to ordinary people.

"The people in Jisitang thought they had succeeded in their plot, but they didn't know that they had fallen into His Majesty's trap. With the cleverness of the Luoyang Marquis, they would not let His Majesty down on his expectations."

"But after this time, there will be a crack between me and Li Mu again." Li Shimin sighed and said, "It's good that this is good. Doing things and conspiring are equally important. Ploting is often indispensable. Li Mu is not young anymore. It's time to learn these things."

"Your Majesty has done a good job."

Li Shimin looked at Yuan Tiangang and said, "My dear, can you tell me a divination?"

Yuan Tiangang's job is to do this, and he hurriedly said: "I wonder what Your Majesty wants to be?"

"Are you able to bear great responsibilities when you see the prince's actions?"

"This--" Yuan Tiangang's heart was shocked. How do you want him to answer this? He said yes, no, no, no, no. Li Shimin seemed to see his embarrassment and said, "How do you say the hexagram? How do you understand me? Just do it casually. I'll listen to it for now, it won't be considered a confusing word."

"Then I will be brave." When he said this, Yuan Tiangang could not refuse. He took out three copper coins from his sleeve and sprinkled them casually. The copper coins fell to the ground. Yuan Tiangang squatted down to check, picked up the copper coins, and said, "The hexagram is a bit weird, I dare not say it."

"explain!"

"As the hexagram says, the prince has no destiny for the emperor."

"Huh?" Li Shimin looked at Yuan Tiangang. Yuan Tiangang bowed in panic and said, "I just interpreted the hexagram according to the hexagram. This is indeed the case. Your Majesty, the royal family has extremely noble destiny. Most of my hexagrams are not accurate, and it is not enough to be a basis."

"Yes," Li Shimin smiled and said, "Whether the prince can succeed to the throne is entirely my final say. How can one assert it just because of a hexagram? If this is true, wouldn't it be human to conquer nature?"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Go and let the bad people sneak into Qizhou in advance. On the day the city was broken, no one of Yin Hongzhi's relatives could be let go."

"I understand."

Yuan Tiangang left, leaving only Li Shimin, who seemed a little lonely in the huge hall.

He picked up his pen and walked on the rice paper.

The ink traces are blown dry, and four large characters appear: Isolated.

Those who are kings are destined to be lonely.

...

The military order was ordered and the order was prohibited. After receiving the order, the three guards of the prince received the order and saw the tiger talisman in Li Mu's hand and Li Chengqian himself, they immediately accepted the fact that Li Mu was the commanding general. This is also the benefit of the government military system. The soldiers of the government military system are loyal to the Tang Dynasty rather than to a certain general. As long as there is a tiger talisman, there will basically be no problem of being unable to be transferred.

It was also the first time that Li Mu had seen the so-called Three Guards of the Crown Prince and Three Guards of the Crown Prince, which were divided into the Crown Prince’s personal guards, the Crown Prince’s Xun Guard and the Crown Prince’s Yi Guard. Their candidates were not selected from the imperial guards. Like Chongwenguan and Hongwenguan, they chose to choose the children of ministers in the court and serve as the Crown Prince’s Three Guards of the Crown Prince. The difference is that Chongwenguan wins over civil officials, while the Crown Prince’s Three Guards win over military generals. Everyone here has a background, and those without background cannot enter, which determines that the number of people in the Crown Prince’s Three Guards will not be large. This is also deliberate. After all, the Crown Prince’s Three Guards are too close to the palace. If the number of people is too large, it exceeds the palace guards, what if the crown prince rebels? There are only 1,500 people, which is not on the same order of magnitude as tens of thousands of palace guards, and it cannot cause any storm.

Usually, there are about 800 to 1,500 people in one guard. Each of the three guards of the prince has only 500 people. The three guards together have only 1,500 people. It is obviously a bit too much to rely on these 1,500 people to attack Qizhou. Therefore, Li Mu's tiger talisman actually has the authority to dispatch nearby Zhechong Mansion. After arriving in Qizhou, he can allocate troops, horses, food and fodder nearby. These 1,500 people are used as the central army.

The overall quality of the "second generation" in the early Tang Dynasty was still good. Li Mu stood on the platform and pointed the troops. The queues he saw were horizontal and vertical, which was no different from the real imperial guards in the palace. The equipment of the three imperial guards of the prince was all "full of woven", with bows, arrows, horizontal swords, and horse spears, and their overall combat power should be slightly higher than that of ordinary imperial guards.

After Li Mu ordered his troops, the army set out and came out of the east gate. The last time the army left the city, it was a decisive battle with the Turks and went out to the west gate. This time it was a departure from the east gate. In addition, there were all kinds of rumors in the market, which attracted the attention of the people on both sides of the road. As the vanguard, Li Chengqian was at the forefront of the team, enjoying the C position, and his entire hormones rose slowly.

If he hadn't been afraid of accidentally revealing his identity, Li Chengqian really wanted to shout out and vent his emotions. God felt sorry for how long he had been waiting for this moment. This was a serious battle. It was not his long-cherished wish in the East Palace and going to fight to kill the enemy. Wouldn't it be a long-cherished wish for him to get it done?

At this moment, Li Chengqian had forgotten that it was his younger brother who went to suppress the rebellion. Even if he remembered it, he would not care. Born in an imperial family, he understood the difference between legitimate and illegitimate since he was a child. If the opponent was Li Tai, he might have cared a little, but Li You had no contact at all, so what should I worry about?

Li Mu hid in the car, looked at Li Chengqian's powerful appearance, and called someone over to call Li Chengqian over.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Li Chengqian rushed to the front of him, his excitement had not yet faded.

"Call General, have you forgotten His Majesty's instructions?"

Li Chengqian scratched his head and said, "Yes, General, the last general knows that he is wrong. I wonder what the general has to give?"

"Don't ride a horse, get in the car and take a seat."

"No, General, I won't be tired." I have time to ride a car, but there are not many opportunities to be a general. This time the situation is special. Li Shimin can allow him to lead his troops, although Li Mu will go to war, I don't know when next time? He doesn't want to waste every second.

Li Mu said helplessly: "You are not safe outside, so you should come into the car. The car has been reinforced. If you pull up the window, you can't even shoot the bow and arrow. Do you see this grid? It's made of ironwood and very hard."

Li Chengqian only thought Li Mu was worried about his comfort and said, "General, the last general has pierced his armor. Others don't recognize me, and they won't deliberately want to kill me."

"It's not the one who killed you, it's the one who killed me," Li Mu paused for a moment, and said again: "Maybe it's not necessarily the one who killed you and blamed me. In short, come into the car."

"General, last general-"

"Military orders are like a mountain! Or you go back!"
