Pei Sanniang was very worried. She had received the exact news from her husband that Tongguan had been lost, but her husband made it clear that he would never leave the court and escape privately, which made Pei Sanniang very anxious.
Suddenly seeing her son appear, Pei Sanniang was surprised and happy. She quickly grabbed Li Ye and asked, "Why is Ye'er in Chang'an?"
Li Ye smiled and said: "Of course I'm here to take you two out of Chang'an!"
Pei Sanniang was moved and turned back to glare at her husband, "Your father is such a stubborn old man. He refuses to leave. I really can't do anything with him."
Li Ye smiled and said: "I'm here to persuade dad, he will definitely leave!"
Li Dai smiled and said, "Did Ye'er bring any new news?"
Pei Sanniang quickly pushed the father and son, "This is not the place to talk. You two go in and talk!"
The father and son came to the study and sat down. Pei Sanniang came in with two cups of tea and sat aside, "You tell me, and I will listen!"
His mother sat aside, and Li Ye didn't know where to start.
Li Dai understood his wife's mood very well. He smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, please tell me frankly! Your mother is also very worried about the situation."
Li Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Does father know about the secret collusion between the prince and Chen Xuanli?"
Li Dai nodded, "I had doubts before, but now I'm a little confused. Chen Xuanli has been loyal to the emperor for decades, how could he betray the emperor?"
Even if he is thinking about his descendants, as long as he does not participate in the persecution of the prince and remains neutral, the prince will not treat him badly when he ascends the throne in the future. So you said that Chen Xuanli colluded with the prince, do I think Feilong is instigating it? "
Li Ye shook his head, "Feilong really didn't instigate it. Chen Xuanli did secretly collude with the prince. The main reason is that An Lushan rebelled and Chen Xuanli completely lost confidence in the emperor. The reason why I am talking about Chen Xuanli now is that I estimate that Chen Xuanli and the prince are likely to start a rebellion."
There was a mutiny.”
Li Dai's face changed greatly, "Is this just your guess, or did the Dugu family tell you some news?"
"Father, this is a rare opportunity. An Lushan rebelled, and everyone in the world lost confidence in the emperor. In addition, the rebels entered Guanzhong. This will damage the vital interests of many powerful people. It can be said that up and down
They are all extremely disappointed and even resentful of the emperor. If the prince replaces the emperor at this time, he will definitely be supported by everyone. Will the prince not see this? Will he not see this opportunity? "
"I also support the prince!"
Pei Sanniang couldn't help but said: "This emperor favors that vixen of Concubine Yang, and the Yang family's chickens and dogs have ascended to heaven. In the past few years, Chang'an has been in chaos, and the people of the world have been miserable. It is also his fault. He should have gotten out long ago!"
"Sanniang, we ministers cannot speak ill of the Emperor!"
Pei Sanniang muttered, "That's you, and I'm not his minister!"
Li Ye said quickly: "This is not important. What I mean is that either in Chang'an or when the emperor is retreating south to Bashu, the prince will definitely plan a mutiny and kill people, so my father must leave in time. If he doesn't leave,
He will be coerced by the emperor to retreat together. If there is a mutiny, my father will not be able to escape even if he wants to!"
Pei Sanniang's expression changed, and she quickly said: "Official, listen to Ye'er, let's evacuate immediately!"
Li Dai sighed and said: "To retreat at this time, I always feel that it is abandoning the court. It is too unkind and unkind. If the emperor leaves and we escape again, I feel that I have a clear conscience. Ye'er, there is nothing we can do
?"
Li Ye thought for a while and said: "If my father wants to withdraw at that time, it is not impossible, but he may not be able to evacuate to Xiangyang, so he can only retreat to the west."
Pei Sanniang suddenly interrupted: "Then go to Zhangye, I have a big house in Zhangye!"
Li Dai nodded, "Zhangye is fine too!"
Li Ye then said slowly: "First of all, my father has to move. He can't live here. He has to move to Qujiang Garden House outside the city. In this way, the emperor will not be able to find his father when he leaves. I will send people to monitor the emperor. Once the emperor leaves,
If you escape, my people will immediately notify father. You should go north to Xianyang immediately, and then retreat towards Yong County. It is best to go with Pei Min. You will also have someone to look after you on the way. He will come to find father later.
"
"Okay! I'll talk to him later."
Hearing that his brother Pei Min was coming, Pei Sanniang also got up and went out. At this time, Li Ye whispered: "Once there is a mutiny, the prince will definitely go west. There is no army in Longyou. He will not go to Longyou. I
It is estimated that he will either go to Hexi or Shuofang. Shuofang is more likely and he will definitely ascend the throne in Shuofang. At this time, my father and Pei Fang will lead an army to support him, and my father will become the right or left prime minister."
This was something Li Ye considered all the way. Although it would be safer for his father to go to Xiangyang, he would lose a lot of opportunities. There are only a few pitfalls for the prime minister, so go early to get there.
After a pause, Li Ye continued: "I will leave a hundred soldiers for my father. Don't worry about their loyalty. I protect their families and they will always protect my father's safety."
Li Dai was moved when he saw that his son had thought carefully, so he nodded and said: "The troubled times are coming. You should take care of yourself. I hope our family will be reunited soon!"
"Will do!"
"Moreover!" Li Dai asked again: "Your second mother, sister and Aunt Mu have gone to Xiangyang first. You must take good care of them. You must also arrange the family's mansion and land. You must make good use of Li Xun. He
I will be your right-hand man."
"Don't worry, father! I have arranged all these."
When he came out of his parents' house, he happened to meet Pei Min and his wife with their children. Li Ye asked them to talk on their own. He knew that Pei Min, like his father, wanted to leave at the last moment, so they went to Hexi together.
It's quite suitable.
Li Ye left a hundred soldiers with his father. They will escort his father to live in the garden outside the city early tomorrow morning. As long as they avoid the emperor's call, they will be safe and sound.
At this time, it was already dark, and Li Ye came to Chen Xuanli's house.
Chen Xuanli had just returned home and was about to have dinner before returning to the military camp. The failure of Tongguan was particularly stressful for him. In fact, there were only the last 50,000 troops left in Chang'an. Among the 50,000 troops, only part of the Longwu Army could actually go to the battlefield.
There are less than 10,000 troops in the army, and the other troops are all honor guards. They all look tall and mighty, but in fact they can run faster than anyone else on the battlefield.
It is simply impossible for these 50,000 people to resist An Lushan's tiger and wolf army!
At this time, one of his soldiers hurriedly came to report, "Li Ye, the governor of Jianghan, wants to see you!"
"Who!" Chen Xuanli was stunned for a moment.
"Li Ye, the military governor of Jianghan!"
Chen Xuanli was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Please invite him to sit in the guest room for a while. I will be here right away!"
Since the Feilong mutiny, Li Ye disappeared. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Li Ye appeared again. Chen Xuanli had to admire Li Ye's keenness. He would always seize opportunities at the most critical moments. No wonder he was able to fool around at such a young age.
to a high position.
Chen Xuanli thought for a moment, then got up and went to the guest room, where Li Ye was waiting for him calmly.
"I've kept Jiedushi waiting for a long time!"
Li Ye stood up and said with a smile: "The general must be very busy today. I do have a small matter, so why don't we get straight to the point!"
Chen Xuanli smiled and nodded, "I appreciate Jiedushi's frankness!"
