"Emperor, we only heard that Luo Yi rebelled, but we don't know the exact situation. Please tell us so that we can give you some advice.”Li Jing said.
At the crucial moment, Li Jing was still the most reliable person to ask first.
Now, everyone only knew that Luo Yi had rebelled, but they did not know why Luo Yi had rebelled, what their military strength was like, or what the situation was like.
Li Shiming nodded and looked at Zhangsun Wuji." Fuji, you're the Minister of War. Tell me about it."”
"According to the spies, Luo Yi started the war three days ago. The excuse was that the emperor killed his brother and forced his father to take the throne.”Zhangsun Wuji said.
Three days ago, wasn't it the time when I was drinking with Qin Fang at the Qin Manor?
In this way, Qin Fang was not only right about Qin Fang's rebellion, but he was also right about the time.
Did he really have clairvoyance?
"This Luo Yi is really a dog. The emperor favors him, but he says such nonsense.”
"When I catch Luo Yi, I will definitely slap him a few times and ask him why his mouth is so smelly.”Cheng Yaojin cursed.
"Your Majesty, Luo Yi will definitely pass through Luoyang City when he starts his army from Youzhou. I think that the most important thing now is to strengthen Luoyang City's defenses and keep Luo Yi outside Luoyang City.”Li Jing said.
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the others did not speak.
Currently, most of the Great Tang's soldiers were guarding the border, and the soldiers in the Imperial City were no match for Luo Yi's Youzhou soldiers.
The reason Li Shi Min had favored Luo Yi so much was partly because Youzhou had a large army and partly because he wanted to use Luo Yi to resist the Turks.
He did not expect Luo Yi to bite him back.
How unlucky.
"I still have to consider this matter.”Li Shi Min said.
Li Jing was very surprised. This indecisive character was not like Li Shimin at all.
In the past, Li Shi Min would have sent his troops to deal with such a rebellion.
Now, not only did they not send troops, but they also wanted to stall for time.
"Emperor, speed is the most important thing in war. If Luo Yi's army breaks through Luoyang's defense line, then we will have to fight them head-on.”
"At that time, with Chang 'an's current military strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the Youzhou army.”
"Please give the order to quickly send out the troops.”Li Jing advised.
"All of you can retreat for now. I will make a decision later.”Li Shi Min said.
" Your Majesty…" The officials wanted to persuade him again.
Li Shi Min glared at him,"What's wrong? I can't speak?"
Seeing Li Shi Min's anger, the officials left the royal study.
"What do you think happened to the emperor? He had never been so hesitant in the past!”Li Jing said.
"Everyone, ever since the uprising in Taiyuan, which war did we not participate in? When have we not come up with strategies to win a thousand miles? Now that Luo Yi is rebelling, we are actually not needed. This is the first time.”Zhangsun Wuji was also puzzled.
……
After everyone left, Li Shiming immediately went to Empress Zhangsun's bedroom.
"Guanyin Maid, Qin Fang is really unpredictable.”Li Shi Min exclaimed.
"Second brother, why do you say that?" Empress Zhangsun asked.
"Qin Fang's guess was correct. Not only did he guess that Luo Yi would rebel, but he also guessed the time of his rebellion.”
"I just don't know if what he said about Luo Yi dying halfway is true.”Li Shi Min said.
Li Shimin said,"Tsk…" It would be fine if Su Yu was right. If he was half right and the other half was wrong, Luo Yi would enter Chang 'an Fortress. That would be troublesome.”
Li Shi Min didn't dare to gamble with his empire.
He had to make sure that nothing went wrong.
"Your Majesty, this matter is simple," said Empress Zhangsun.”
"How is it? Tell me quickly." Li Shi Min asked.
Empress Zhangsun said,"Since Qin Fang was right about Luo Yi's rebellion, he also said that Luo Yi died on his way." If that was really the case, then he would definitely know why Luo Yi died and when he died. We'll know if we go to the Qin Manor and ask.”
"Yes, if he can say it, then it's true. If he can't say it, then it's nonsense. We will gather our forces and prepare to resist Luo Yi's army.”Empress Zhangsun said.
Li Shi Min thought for a moment and said,"Yes, this is a good plan." If Su Yu really knew that Luo Yi would die, then he would definitely know when and why he would die.”
"Exactly." Empress Zhangsun nodded.
"There's no time to lose. I'll set off now.”Li Shi Min said.
Li Shimin and Li Junxian sneakily rode through the back door toward the Qin manor.
He quietly left the city without disturbing anyone.
In the Qin Manor, Qin Fang was teasing Xiao Die.
"Young Master, is that enough? Why is it taking so long today? I can't take it anymore." Xiao Die said coquettishly.
"How long has it been? Continue dancing. You're still growing, so you have to exercise more.”Qin Fang laughed.
Qin Fang was supervising Xiao Die's rope skipping.
This girl had been getting lazier and lazier recently. She rarely exercised.
In order to keep Xiao Die healthy, Qin Fang could only insist on Xiao Die skipping rope for an hour every day.
Xiao Die held the rope, panting, her face flushed.
Now that the food in the Qin manor was good, Xiao Die had also grown fat. Those who should have grown up had all grown up.
Although this was not bad, as Qin Fang's personal maid, this was not enough.
"Young master, Xiao Die is exhausted. Please stop, I can't take it anymore.”Xiao Die couldn't jump anymore.
"Dance a few more times, persevere." Qin Fang lay on the rocking chair and supervised Xiao Die.
" Young Master, I can't take it anymore. It hurts," Xiao Die said coquettishly.
"Alright then, that's all for today's exercise. Go wash up.”Qin Fang laughed.
Xiao Die was drenched and immediately went into the room to take a shower.
At this moment, Er Niu walked in. "Young Master, Manager Li is here."
"Let them in. They can be considered old friends.”Qin Fang said.
"Erniu, where is Qin Fang?" Li Shi Min asked Er Niu as soon as he entered Qin Manor.
"He's sunbathing in the backyard." Er Niu replied.
"Old Li, what brings you here today?”
"Aren't you busy in the shop?" Qin Fang asked with his eyes half-closed as he lay on the rocking chair.
Li Shimin didn't mind, and Li Junxian was used to it.
Li Shimin pulled over a chair and sat beside Qin Fang.
"Old Brother Qin, you really have divine foresight and are unpredictable. That old fellow Luo Yi has really rebelled.”Li Shi Min suppressed his emotions and pretended to be calm.
"What? Oh, that's it? There's nothing strange about it.”Qin Fang closed his eyes and basked in the warm spring sun.
Li Shimin moved his chair closer to Qin Fang."Brother, you don't know, but the Imperial Court is in a mess right now, and everyone is arguing over whether to send troops. Li Er is having a headache."
Li Shimin said the word "Li Er" very smoothly, as if he was not talking about himself.
Li Junxian exclaimed in admiration.
Qin Fang smiled." Old Li, didn't I tell you before? Luo Yi couldn't reach Chang 'an City. He died on his way." There's no hurry."
Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief after Qin Fang's confirmation.
"Young Master Qin, where did that Luo Yi die? When did he die? Can you explain?" Li Shi Min asked.
"Old Li, why do you care about this?" Qin Fang smiled. In any case, Luo Yi is dead, and the Imperial Court is not at war. Don't even think about making a fortune from the national disaster.”
"I'm just curious," Li Shi Min hurriedly explained.”
"We businessmen like to get together and brag." Li Shimin laughed. You don't know that when the news of Luo Yi's rebellion reached Chang 'an, those grain merchants came to talk nonsense. We told him that Luo Yi died halfway and that this war could not be fought, but no one believed us. You even said that we were talking nonsense. I'm so angry.”
Qin Fang rocked his rocking chair and said slowly,""Luo Yi rebelled, but the officials of Youzhou did not want to rebel. Let me count the days."
Qin Fang counted the time with his fingers. He was just like a fortune-teller, a charlatan.
"Counting the days, Zhao Cihao of Youzhou and Yang Ji are plotting to kill Luo Yi.”
