The Tang Dynasty was experiencing the biggest crisis since its founding. It was unimaginable under the prosperous Tang Dynasty. No one would have thought that the Tang army, which was known as the invincible in the world, would be beaten to pieces by Gerdonzan. It can be seen that strong soldiers and horses are of great importance, but the most important thing is to have a wise commander. This is the truth that a thousand troops are easy to get one general.

During this period, Li Shimin was at ease to recuperate. All government and military affairs were managed by Li Zhi. With Changsun Wuji and his ministers, he could barely support it. However, the Tubo army was coming in full force, and the court lacked available generals, and no one could stop Geerton's edge. Several veteran generals in the court volunteered and were rejected by Li Zhi. After several years, Li Zhi now has some understanding of the ministers in the court. In terms of military talent, Li Ji is now the head of the court, and Su Dingfang is second. As for the others, it is not that these veterans are not good, but they are too old. Some veteran generals shaking their way through armor. How could Li Zhi feel assured to let them fight Geerton's battle? The Tang Dynasty seems to be strong, but it is actually experiencing an era of incompetence.

In desperation, Changsun Wuji suggested that Li Jing, the Duke of Wei who was recuperating at home, would take action. After hearing this advice, Li Zhi couldn't help frowning. He heard that Li Jing was very sick, almost paralyzed in bed, and had to take care of his daily life. In this case, how could he let him fight Gerdongzan? However, the situation is critical and the Tang Dynasty is in danger. Although Li Zhi was unwilling to do so, he decided to visit Li Jing's house first and then make plans.

During the reign of Prince Li Zhi, he first encountered a major flood and a destruction of the country. Moreover, he had to take charge of the overall situation personally, which was a very huge test for him. He also became much more calm from the chaotic boy at the time, so when he asked Li Jing to take action, he was particularly steady. He first went to check on the condition of the illness and then made a decision. On the afternoon of the same day, Li Zhi took a group of guards out of the palace in casual clothes and went to the Duke of Wei Li Jing's mansion to visit Li Jing.

Li Jing suffered from rheumatism, a very serious type. Rheumatism is difficult to treat even in the future world. What's more, in the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing's rheumatism has been going on for many years and is getting worse now. More importantly, he is old and is 78 years old this year and cannot resist this powerful disease. In this era, 78 years old is definitely old, otherwise how could there be a saying that it is rare in the seventy years old. Rheumatism is said to be indestructible, but any disease, when it is strong enough and the patient is too weak, may cause death.

I don’t know if I sensed something. Today, Li Jing asked his son to move him out of bed, put on a moon-white robe, and pushed him to the front yard with his hand, which was in the center of the yard, and then let everyone leave, leaving him alone there. From the morning, he has been there without eating or drinking, and he seems to be waiting for something.

Finally, the concierge came to report, and Prince Li Zhi came to visit and handed over a message.

Li Zhi took the call, but did not read it, but just sighed softly: "It's finally here, please invite the prince in."

Li Zhi brought a group of guards into the mansion and came to the front yard. When he saw Li Jing sitting in the front yard, he was obviously stunned and quickly stepped forward and asked, "Duke Wei, aren't you... bedridden?"

Li Jing smiled slightly, raised his hunched hand due to rheumatism, and bowed: "My minister Li Jing met His Highness the Crown Prince. My subordinate was sick and could not perform the full tribute. Your Highness the Crown Prince forgives his crime."

"Duke Wei, you are so serious." Li Zhi hurried to him and said, "Duke Wei, how are you sick? Look at your complexion today, it seems to be pretty good."

The gray-bearded Li Jing laughed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness and the Emperor's Hong Fu, the subordinates will not die for a while."

Seeing that he was in good spirits, Li Zhi showed joy and said, "Your Duke Wei, it's good that you are fine. Today I will come to find Duke Wei to discuss important matters and disturb Duke Wei."

Li Jing nodded and said, "I know why the Crown Prince came. Li Fu, please recommend me to the service pavilion."

Li Fu is the gatehouse on Li Jing's mansion, and the Baoguo Pavilion is a small pavilion in the side courtyard of his mansion. There are tables and stools in the pavilion, which is a good place to chat. He planned to chat with Li Zhi there.

Li Zhi raised his hand to stop Li Fu and said, "Come on my own." He said, and went forward to hold the push chair and pushed Li Jing to the side courtyard. Li Zhi came to Li Jing's house when he was a child. At that time, Uncle Li shouted at him one by one, but it was so sweet. Now that Li Zhi has grown up, Li Jing's hair is white and is about to be tidy. Even for the sake of etiquette, he has to change his title. In the face of time, human power is really too small.

Li Zhi pushed Li Jing to the paying pavilion. Li Zhi sat down face to face with him. After Li Fu brought hot tea and pastries, he stepped down. Li Zhi's guards were guarding the gate of the yard, and there were only their uncle and nephew in the yard.

"Uncle Li, your illness... is it really okay?" Now that they were the two of them, Li Zhi couldn't help but call Uncle Li because of his past affection.

Li Jing seemed to have been reminiscent of infinite memories when he heard this. He stretched out his hand that was stiff due to rheumatism, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and smiled faintly: "Everyone will die. Your Highness, don't be persistent. Such illness and pain are torture all day long. Death is just a relief for me, but... I can't die yet..."

Li Zhi is no longer the ignorant boy who didn't know anything at the time. Naturally, he knows what he meant by not being able to die. Li Zhi said worriedly: "Uncle Li, you are in this way, how can you still..."

Li Jing raised his hand and interrupted him, and said leisurely: "I, Li Jing, have never been defeated in my life, and have always been a regret in my life. I didn't expect to meet an opponent like Lu Dongzan on my dying day. It would be enough to comfort my life. If I can fight with you, I will die without regrets."

When Li Zhi heard this, he looked at Li Jing's white beard and white hair that looked like frost and snow, and his heart suddenly felt sore, and his eyes began to turn red.

Li Jing continued: "However, the country and country of the Tang Dynasty are so important, and you must never be a bargaining chip for me, because we can't afford to lose this battle. Your Highness, have you ever heard a poem written by a wonderful man."

Li Zhi raised his head and tried his best to prevent himself from crying, and then squeezed out a smile and asked, "Uncle Li might as well recite it to see if Zhier had heard it."

"Okay." Li Jing smiled slightly, raised his head slightly, and said sadly, "Thousands of years sigh, eternal sorrow, who secretly replaced the passing years? He became old and his beautiful head was white."

Li Zhi casually replied: "Health and courage are shining, dreams are not old, laughing and talking about the way we came, and the feather fan and the scarf are never short of their grace."

Li Jing turned around and smiled at him: "So your highness has heard of it."

"Well." Li Zhi nodded seriously, "This is Mr. Shi Kuang's "A Sorrow for the Eternal Sorrow". I have read every poem by Mr. Shi Kuang."

"He is a wonderful man." Li Jing smiled and said, "This poem is lonely and asks forever sorrow. The first chapter says something like me. The hero is old and the beauty is white. The second chapter shows him Li Shikuang, feather fan and silk scarf, and his graceful appearance is just in his prime. Why did Your Highness come to invite me instead of going out of Qiongnan?"

Li Zhi gradually frowned when he heard this, and said with a sad face: "I also want to ask Mr. Shikuang to come out. With him here, I will definitely be able to deal with Lu Dongzan, but... the court officials will not agree, nor will the father."

"Have you tried it?"

"No." Li Zhi shook his head, "You don't have to think about it, they hate Mr. So much."

"There is no absolute in the world." Li Jing smiled, "You haven't tried it, so how can you know the result? There are too many surprises and surprises in this life."

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this. He could feel that Li Jing was teaching him a very important life principle. Yes, how could he say nothing before he tried it? However, he shook his head and said, "It's still not possible. The sir is far away from Qiongnan. Even if he is asked to do something, he will not be able to arrive in Chang'an in less than three months."

Li Jing heard this and smiled indifferently, "Your Highness, Li Jing is not dead yet. As long as Li Jing has a breath, he will be the military god of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Zhi was shocked when he heard this. This was the first time Li Jing had ever called himself a military god in his life. Such a proud aura emanated from an old man who was about to die. His powerful aura was as strong as his father, which shocked him. After a moment, he realized that Li Jing agreed to help guard Chang'an and hold on until Li Hao came to support him. He stood up in surprise and gave a big gift, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Li!"

Li Jing smiled and said, "Military is like fire, and it is imminent. Your Highness hasn't returned to the palace to try it?"

"Yes, I'll go back now." Li Zhi was a little excited at this moment. Li Jing had already agreed and helped him stay in Chang'an, trying his best to hold Gerdonzan until Li Hao arrived.

After saying that, Li Zhi bowed again, turned around and left happily.

Looking at Li Zhi's back as he left, Li Jing showed a satisfied smile on his face. This was the future monarch chosen by Li Hao. Although he was not as wise as his father, nor was he as arrogant as his father, he was clear-headed and respectful in his heart, elegant and solemn, calm and reliable, and would definitely become a good monarch. With the help of Li Hao, a civil and military genius, he no longer had to worry about the future of the Tang Dynasty.
