You could see the cavalry camp from afar, but Zhang Hui suddenly stopped the horses. Li Ze turned around and looked at Zhang and replied, "Do you have something to say to me?"

Zhang Hui nodded, but said nothing. Seeing this, Li Ze waved his hand, and Li Mi and other personal guards immediately scattered.

"So that's what Jishuai thought from the beginning?" Zhang Hui asked suddenly.

Li Ze looked at Zhang Hui: "What's the matter with the sir?"

"Pretending to confront each other, forcing the court to delay the time of resolving Luzhou, gave Zhu Wen an illusion, and then made him think that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. When Heluo, Guanzhong, was not yet firm, he sent a large army to counterattack. But you took this opportunity to defeat his counterattack plan in one fell swoop, so that he would no longer have the power to spy on Zhaoyi in a short time. But can you use this window of time to build the location of Luzhou, the portal, into a springboard to see the Central Plains?"

Li Ze shook his head: "Sir, I misjudged me. Could it be that Mr. Li Ze also thought that I, Li Ze, was the kind of person who had no affection and no affection in my eyes, only interests but no affection in my heart?"

Zhang Hui looked at Li Ze deeply: "Since ancient times, anyone who can accomplish great things can find the most favorable conditions for themselves from some seemingly unfavorable things, so as to use this as the basis, take advantage of the problem and expand their interests infinitely. Jieshuai, please be honest, I have seen the shadow of such a person in you from this incident."

Li Ze was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed and said, "Maybe. From the very beginning, when I received the news of my mother's death, I only had anger in my eyes, just like Qiao'er was about to pick up a gun to kill the queen. But when I arrived outside Huguan, I had actually calmed down."

"Are you really calm?"

"At that time, there was only sorrow but no anger." Li Ze sighed: "But it is hard to get rid of the heart. The resentment in the hearts of the emperor, the queen and others naturally still existed. At that time, the troops were not in front of them, just to let them see that you can only survive because of me. Whether the Tang Dynasty can still exist depends on my thoughts."

Zhang Hui nodded: "This is human nature."

"In the days when I was keeping my mind, I had more time to think about the future path." Li Ze looked at Zhang and replied, "Sir, maybe I don't believe it. Ze really didn't have the intention to force the queen to death. My mother has left, and forcing the queen to death may be a little happy for me, but fundamentally speaking, the disadvantages are greater for me."

"What Your Majesty said and did today has a deep meaning. I think Jieshuai also felt the hatred hidden in his bones." Zhang Hui said with some concern. "And this kind of hatred will lay hidden worries for Jieshuai in the future."

"Of course I felt it, but I didn't care much." Li Ze waved his hand. "Let's go back to the original topic. After the initial anger slowly faded, after Zhu Wen completely took Chang'an, the idea of ​​luring him to compete with me for Luzhou at this point in time emerged. Then he carefully considered the feasibility of this matter and how to implement it?"

"So, after this incident, it was actually Jishuai who did it intentionally! He wanted to give Zhu Wen an illusion?" Zhang Hui suddenly realized.

Li Ze nodded: "That's true. In order to create the authenticity of this matter, I was deliberately doing this matter, but I never expected that the queen would force her to death."

"Why not explain this to the emperor early?"

"If I had said it clearly, the atmosphere of opposition would not be so strong, Han Qi would not jump, and Qin Zhao would not have run from Le'an to Huguan. The atmosphere here is not strong, how can we deceive people like Zhu Wen?" Li Ze shook his head. "It's not bad now. The death of the queen will definitely make Zhu Wen more confident. He must have thought that the Luzhou army was dispersed at this time, and we had many internal conflicts. It was almost impossible to successfully capture Luzhou. If it weren't for this, how could he send troops?"

"But in this way, even if you win the final victory, the conflict with the royal family will be almost impossible to reconcile." Zhang Hui sighed: "The emperor's suspicion is already heavy, Xue Ping, Qin Zhao and others are indignant. Although the prince is young, he is finally sensible."

"Those who know me will naturally know me. If you don't know me, why do I need to change myself to satisfy them?" Li Ze suddenly sneered: "As for His Majesty the Emperor, don't care too much."

"Your Majesty's body has collapsed. Even if there is a good doctor prolongs his life, I'm afraid he won't live long. But the prince is young after all." Zhang Hui paused and said, "Does Jishuai really need to teach the prince carefully?"

"Why not?" Li Ze suddenly laughed. "Or, I need a wise and promising prince."

After hearing this, Zhang Hui suddenly shivered, as if he could see the bloody storm of a certain period of time in the future from Li Ze's words.

Yes, only a wise and promising prince can strive for strength, only a smart and precocious prince can remember the humiliation of Huguan, and only such a prince will constantly seek power in the future and fight with Li Ze.

But I am afraid that in Li Ze's eyes, the prince is like a mouse dancing his claws desperately in front of his old cat. After enough play, the time comes, he will wave his claws, slap the mouse to death with one claw and eat the bones.

Obviously, Li Ze is now doing this, but the prince can only bury his resentment in his heart and try his best to make his wings stronger.

But God knows whether some of the prince's wings will be the prince's helper or the prince's life-destroying talisman in the future.

"Sir, do you have anything else to ask me?" Li Ze turned to look at the thoughtful Zhang Hui and asked.

Zhang Hui shook his head.

"Since the general of Jie has been thought about it carefully, the minister must have been arranged in the military."

"It's almost done, not just military, otherwise Tian Bo and the others wouldn't have appeared here." Li Ze smiled and said, "The next big show is about to open."

"When the old lady is buried, I will go back to Wuyi."

"Of course, both Mr. and Xia He have to rush back as soon as possible. Mr. wants to control the overall situation in Wuyi for me. Xia He wants to dispatch money and food, but he cannot leave for a moment."

Huguan, which had been silent for a lot, finally started to move.

The first thing is to do is to hold two funerals.

The queen's funeral was very simple. Because the queen was not buried, she just placed the coffin in Wanfo Temple after the burial was collected. In Li Ze's words, it was necessary to wait until the army recovered Chang'an and then transport the queen's coffin back to Chang'an and buried it in the imperial tomb. It cannot be buried in a hurry. This reason is irrefutable.

But Mrs. Wang's funeral was held very grandly. All the civil and military ministers along Huguan and Luzhou came to attend the funeral. The cemetery was chosen on a mountain opposite to Wanfo Temple. The morning bell and evening drums were heard day and night. Mrs. Wang believed in Buddhism all her life and was buried here, which may be a comfort for her.

Prince Li Anguo of Zhending built a thatched cottage in front of the tomb, saying that he would live here for March.

However, Li Ze, who was supposed to be filial, only stayed here for three days before leaving in a hurry.

The Battle of Luzhou finally started on the fourth day after Mrs. Wang was buried.

The Wuwei army launched an attack from Xingzhou, Wuxiang, Rangyuan and Licheng at the same time. The Hedong army launched a direct attack from Changzhi and Tunliu under the command of Han Qi. However, Gao Lei, the governor of Hezhong, was ordered to lead his Hezhong soldiers to Le'an quietly arrived in Le'an. Qin Zhao took his Yuancong Guard and Li Hai's troops, and Jin Shiyong took Zhaoyi troops adapted from Le'an. When the war was in full swing, he left Huguan, and his whereabouts were unknown.
