Li Jiancheng naturally understands his father's thoughts, but he understands now that the top priority is not to dwell on these.
"Aye, when the fields are plowed in the spring, the people are short of food to satisfy their hunger. If there is no food relief at this time, the land of the capital will be unsafe."
This is just a euphemistic way of saying it. It actually reminds Lao Li that if he doesn't do what they say, what happened to Ji Hu is likely to happen around Chang'an.
Never underestimate your opponent, especially if the opponent has the power to subvert a dynasty, which is enough for them to prepare for the worst.
For example, give in.
"Alas!" Lao Li sighed heavily. He knew that he was careless, otherwise he would never be so passive.
"Dalang, go and tell Duke Dugu that I will bring Yuanji back immediately, but the enthronement will have to wait, even if it takes a little longer."
Until now, Lao Li's rebellious phase has been temporarily over.
After all, dad is dad after all.
"Aye, is there any difference in doing this?" Li Shimin was puzzled. Waiting a day or two more and waiting a day or two less would still lead to the same result.
"Of course it's different." Li Yuan said: "Even if I want to ascend the throne, I have to be fully prepared, otherwise it won't be that simple."
In his opinion, he cannot control the time of his ascension to the throne, so he can only do his best to ensure the safety of his ascension to the throne.
The Pingtian Crown can only be put on by oneself with both hands, never by the hands of others. This is his final bottom line and his only stubbornness.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan then ordered: "Zhiyun, you leave the city immediately and go to the military camp to take charge. You must control your troops and horses. If you don't see my tiger talisman, you don't have to listen to anyone's orders!"
"Baby, I obey." Li Zhiyun's heart skipped a beat and he clasped his fists in agreement.
"Shimin!" Li Yuan then turned to Er Zi.
"The child is here."
"Around Jingzhao, the magical powers, magical talismans and others have been positioned. You are responsible for the central dispatch."
"As commanded."
Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly. Li Shentong and others had unknowingly commanded troops around Chang'an. It seemed that his father was more prepared than he thought.
The sound of horse hoofbeats was as loud as rain, and Li Zhiyun led his men to ride out of the city.
The 20,000 soldiers and horses currently stationed in the camp ten miles away from the capital are under the command of Li Zhiyun, and the leading generals are Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shufang.
Although Li Zhiyun knew what would happen to Lao Li in the future, he did not expect that Dai Sui's experience would be so dangerous. Or was it because of his existence that the process became dangerous? He did not know this.
When they arrived at the camp, Li Zhiyun immediately summoned Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shufang and ordered them to organize the army and practice martial arts to prevent any unexpected events.
"Mr. Chu, are you going to go on an expedition? Are you going to fight Wang Shichong or Xue Ju?" Duan Zhixuan asked Li Zhiyun in confusion.
"None of them." Li Zhiyun shook his head and gently rubbed the hilt of the sword, "It's best to be careful in everything."
Seeing that Li Zhiyun was unwilling to say anything, Duan Zhixuan naturally did not continue to ask. However, the doubts in his heart still made him frown suddenly.
Mr. Chu, generally speaking, would not be so nervous.
It seems that something big is going to happen recently.
For three days in a row, Li Zhiyun's nerves have been tense. If the road to the emperor is compared to a single-plank bridge, then Li Yuan is undoubtedly walking on the 'fragile' section of the bridge. They don't know that the Guanlong shareholders who support the single-plank bridge are
Will he threaten them when Lao Li is halfway through?
This possibility is not impossible.
Fortunately, this kind of thing never happened, because not long after, Li Daozong came to deliver a letter on behalf of Lao Li, asking him to lift his guard.
Of course, there is another task.
"I'm afraid this trip won't be easy." Li Zhiyun put down the letter and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
Lao Li agreed to the Dou family and the Dugu family and appointed Dou Gui as the commander-in-chief of Pingji and Hu, and at the same time transferred Li Yuanji back to Chang'an.
Normal people will know how unhappy Li Yuanji was when he learned the news.
"Tricky." Li Daozong commented, and then reminded: "The Prime Minister asked you to set off immediately, and you must return to Chang'an before May."
May. In this case, the day when Lao Li ascends to the throne should be set in May.
"I understand." Li Zhiyun breathed softly.
Li Daozong said: "There are still things in the palace. I, Qian Niu, can't leave, so I can't go with you this time. When I see Yuanji, I will advise you not to cause trouble."
Speaking of this, Li Daozong looked around and saw no one around, so he whispered: "The Prime Minister and Dou Wei have been quarreling from time to time recently. Don't annoy him anymore."
Li Zhiyun nodded understandingly, "I won't say any polite words. When the big thing is settled, you and I will get drunk and rest."
"Okay, I'll wait for you in Chang'an."
The task of recalling Li Yuanji fell on him. This was a path that Li Zhiyun had never imagined. It seemed that the eldest brother and the second brother were more concerned about their father after all.
Before leaving, Li Zhiyun summoned Xie Shufang and Duan Zhixuan.
"I'm going to Huayuan, you guys come with me."
"What about the army?" Duan Zhixuan asked.
Li Zhiyun's eyes closed slightly, "The Prime Minister's wishes are temporarily under the jurisdiction of Uncle Shen Tong."
"this......"
Duan Zhixuan and Uncle Xie looked at each other, full of worries, but they didn't know how to express them. The army is not food. Most people are not willing to let go of this kind of thing. Especially, this army is the direct descendant of their army in Jinyang.
Li Zhiyun didn't know what they were thinking, so he said: "All the soldiers and horses in the world belong to the prime minister. You must not make mistakes."
Seeing this, Duan Zhixuan understood Li Zhiyun and nodded immediately, "General, I will obey."
At this time, Xue Shou stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Chu, we are going to Huayuan. Uncle Fang alone will escort us. I would like to stay with Zhixuan to help Zheng Guogong."
Zheng Guogong is Li Shentong's current title.
Li Zhiyun's eyes fell on Xue Shou's face, and the latter's small eyes seemed to reveal a different look.
That is something called wisdom.
"What do Keming think?" Li Zhiyun looked at Du Ruhui again.
The latter has always been used to making soy sauce, but his smart brain will not get distracted at this time.
"What Mr. Xue said is true."
Li Zhiyun nodded, "Okay, this time Zhixuan and Xue Rong will stay. Shufang and Keming will go to Huayuan with me."
"As commanded."
Du Ruhui sighed in his heart, this Duke of Chu really didn't regard him as an outsider and could bring up anything in front of him without any scruples. This gave him an inexplicable feeling of being trusted.
This trip was about speed, so Li Zhiyun packed lightly and only took eighteen riders with him on the road.
On the way, Du Ruhui caught up with Li Zhiyun on horseback.
"Mr. Chu."
"What's wrong with Keming?"
Du Ruhui considered his sentence and said: "Although Duke Zheng did not have the military exploits of Duke Qin, he was still one of Chang'an's righteous deeds. In addition, it is not surprising that Duke Zheng is old and is highly valued by the prime minister. Duke Chu must not have any quarrel with the prime minister because of this.
, Furthermore, Xue Shou and Duan Zhixuan remain in the army, so Duke Chu does not have to worry."
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun glanced at him unexpectedly and joked: "I thought Keming wanted to learn from Xu Shu."
Du Ruhui laughed dumbly, "This subordinate is not Xu Shu, and the Duke of Chu is not Cao Cao."
"Ha ha."
Li Zhiyun chuckled, feeling extremely happy, leaping on his horse and whipping his whip, and ran towards the distance.
