After a while, Li Xiu 'er and Concubine Yang walked out together.
Li Ke stood at the door and waited for a long time. His legs were numb.
"Mother, Imperial Brother!" Seeing the two of them, Li Ke was overjoyed and hurriedly came forward to welcome them.
Looking at Li Ke, Concubine Yang suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Xiu 'er's hand.""Xiu 'er, if you can request to go to war, take Ke' er with you! You, if you can help me nurture him, I, I'll be eternally grateful!”
" Then how are you going to thank me?" Li Xiu 'er asked with a smile.
Concubine Yang moved her red lips and whispered in Li Xiuer's ear,""I'll devote myself to you and be loyal!"
" Hahaha…" Li Xiu 'er laughed proudly and nodded."Alright! Leave everything to me! Even if the worst happens, I can bring Brother Ke back!”
Listening to the conversation between the two, Li Ke felt as if he was in a painting, confused.
Concubine Yang told him about Luo Yi's rebellion.
Li Ke was a very smart child. He immediately understood that this was a great contribution!
Although he was very reluctant to get along with Li Xiu 'er, his brother who did not care about martial arts, he still agreed.
After letting Concubine Yang go back and rest, Li Xiu 'er left with Li Ke.
At the entrance of the harem, Li Xiu 'er patted Li Ke's thin shoulder and sighed,""A mother's love is great. For you, your mother endured hardships and fought with all her might. She was not afraid of danger or axes. I envy you for having such a beautiful, virtuous, gentle, and great mother! You must work hard and work harder. Don't disappoint her! She sacrificed too much for you! Her sincere love for her son could be seen in the sky, and the gods were moved!”
"Thank you for your reminder, Imperial Brother. I will! Li Ke clenched his small fist and said solemnly,""When I grow up, I will be filial to her and strive to let her live forever!”
If Li Ke knew that Li Xiu 'er's words had a hidden meaning, he would probably pull out his dagger and risk his life with him.
A white knife entered and a red knife came out. It was either you die or I live. Let's kill to our heart's content!
After telling Li Ke to return to the Wu Mansion to wait for news, Li Xiu 'er walked towards Xiande Hall, where Li Shimin gathered all the officials to deal with the military and political affairs of the country.
Not long ago, Li Shimin had succeeded the throne as the Crown Prince and became the second Emperor of the Great Tang.
Li Shimin set his own year title as Zhenguan, but in order to respect the founding emperor Li Yuan, the Zhenguan year title could only be used the following year.
He was still using the year title of Wude.
Li Yuan's naming of the year as Martial Virtue showed that he was very particular about Martial Virtue, and that was the truth.
Unfortunately, Li Yuan's second son, Li Shimin, did not care about martial ethics. He suddenly launched the Black Tortoise Sect Rebellion, directly killing the former Crown Prince, King Qi, and himself.
The ambitious Li Shimin had accomplished a series of feats without any regard for martial ethics, catching his opponents off guard and making them unable to turn the tables.
Inside Xiande Hall, Li Shi Min was furious.
Bang bang…
He picked up the Imperial Jade Seal and smashed it on the dragon table.
"Old thief Luo Yi is too much! I've just conferred him the title of the Third Secretary of the Opening Ceremony, and his position is comparable to the Three Dukes, and he openly rebelled! Isn't this slapping my face in public? I want to kill his entire family!" Li Shi Min shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, please don't be too angry!" Zhangsun Wuji cupped his fists and said. Luo Yi is just an old thing, not worth worrying about! As long as you give me 100,000 elite soldiers and one more general, I can kill Luo Yi and pacify the Yanyun area within a month!”
Zhangsun Wuji spoke, and all the officials pleaded.
"Why do I need 100,000? Imperial Father, give me 2,000 cavalry. In less than five days, I will capture the entire family of that old thief Luo Yi!" Li Xiu 'er walked in with her head held high and her chest puffed out.
"Nonsense! Luo Yi had 100,000 Heavenly Festival Army and 100,000 local troops. The former was a top-notch elite who had defeated Liu Heita, Gao Kaidao, Dou Jiande, and other forces several times. He also had 18 elite Yanyun Cavalry under him! You can destroy him with just two thousand cavalry? You must be joking!" Zhangsun Wuji scoffed.
Zhangsun Wuji had always disliked Li Xiu 'er, the eldest son of a concubine.
The day before, he had wanted to borrow Zheng Guanyin and the other women to get rid of him, but he had miscalculated.
If his first plan failed, he could only think of another one.
Li Xiu 'er, the eldest son of the royal family, was a huge threat to the Zhangsun family's position as the overlord.
It was like a sharp sword hanging above his head. He had to think of a way to take it down as soon as possible.
I'm not joking!"Li Xiu 'er saluted Li Shi Min and said loudly,""Imperial Father, I request to lead the army to capture the traitor Luo Yi. I am willing to make a military pledge!”
"Good!" Seeing Li Xiu 'er's firm attitude, Li Shimin felt relieved and nodded heavily,""You brat, although you don't look like me, you are very similar to me in military matters! Back then, when I was your age, I joined the army to protect Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, who was suddenly surrounded by the Turkic army when he came to the north to patrol! However, war is not child's play. I will give you another 100,000 soldiers.”
"No!" Li Xiu 'er shook her head and refused,""Your son said, only two thousand cavalry! Speed was the most important thing in war. It was too slow to bring a large army to kill the enemy from thousands of miles away. Moreover, the efficiency would be greatly reduced. The rebel army would be prepared early and would be heavily guarded. It would be difficult to attack! He could only follow Sima Yi's example and lead a surprise army to attack Meng Da, Gongsun Yuan, and the other rebels. He could run thousands of miles and attack as fast as lightning, ending the battle as quickly as possible!”
"Hehehe..." Li Shimin laughed,""I really didn't expect you to know so much about the art of war at such a young age! Alright, since you have such courage, I will give you 2,000 black armored cavalry. You can lead them to travel 800 miles a day and quickly reach the land of Yan to find an opportunity to capture Luo Yi and the other rebels!”
"This child will accept your orders!" Li Xiu 'er was overjoyed. She clenched her fists and nodded.
At the same time, Li Xiu 'er secretly gave Zhangsun Wuji a provocative look.
You old man, you're always trying to harm me. Don't think I don't know!
See if I don't play your Zhangsun Clan until it's miserable!
Of course, I'm even more determined to soak your Empress 'sister, Zhangsun Wugou!
Hehehe…
Li Shi Min then handed an eagle-shaped commander seal to Li Xiu Er.
In order to ensure the success of this rebellion, Li Shimin had ordered Yuchi Gong, Yuwen Shiji, and Hou Junji to follow Li Xiu 'er and protect him.
Under the disapproving gazes of most of the ministers, Li Xiu 'er left.
Zhangsun Wuji looked at Li Xiu 'er's back as she left and snorted in his heart,""Young man, I hope you will be killed by Luo Yi's Eighteen Knights of Yanyun as soon as possible! I can also get rid of your mental illness earlier…"
If it was Li Chengqian or Li Tai playing around like this, Zhangsun Wuji would have already tried his best to stop them.
Li Shi Min would most likely listen to him.
But this time, if it was Li Xiu 'er, he would never stop her.
