A month later, Chang'an City received a 800-li military report.

"Your Highness, the big thing is wrong. The army of King Wu has launched a rebellion from Jiangnan. Now it has reached Luoyang and is heading towards Chang'an!"

What??

Li Chengqian was shocked. Is this impossible? My third brother Li Ke raised an army to rebel?

"A slut, how could the King of Wu raise an army to rebel?

The official documents were taken to the Lone King to see. If there was any lie to report military information, they would be killed immediately!" Li Chengqian sternly scolded the person who sent the letter.

After taking the official document and looking carefully, Li Chengqian frowned and said, "What's going on? Why is it not the official document of Henan Dao Shaoyin?"

"Your Highness, Shaoyin was killed by the rebels. This was written by the officials of Henan Daoyao in the face of danger. I am afraid that Luoyang has been occupied by rebels at this time." The person who reported the news cried.

Is this unreasonable?

Li Chengqian was furious and threw the document on the table, "Come on, take him down to treat him, take him first to take care of him and then leave him.

Ask Li Shangshu of the Ministry of War to come here quickly.

By the way, Mr. Du is also invited."

Soon, Li Ji and Du Shaoqing came and read the expedited document. Du Shaoqing asserted that something was wrong. He would not believe that Li Ke had rebelled at this time.

But Li Ji, the Minister of War, did not think so, "Now the Tang Dynasty is in a crisis, with internal air defenses everywhere, everything is possible, and we cannot just guess.

The old minister thought that the first thing was to strengthen the city defense was to prevent it, and immediately sent a capable scout to Luoyang to inquire about the news."

Du Shaoqing retorted: "Li Ke cannot rebel.

This matter must be a conspiracy. I want to meet the messenger. Maybe it was a trap set by the five surnames and seven hopes to lure us out of Chang'an.

If you take a step back, even if Li Ke really raises an army, it wouldn't be for Chang'an. At most, he would raise an army to help the king. You must know that there are his parents in Chang'an City, so he can't ignore his parents' lives or death, right?"

Li Ji was silent.

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "What my brother-in-law said makes sense. Based on our understanding of the third brother, he will not rebel. I also think there is something strange.

I have already seen the messenger, Huaiying, take your brother-in-law to question the man."

Asking his follower Di Renjie to lead Du Shaoqing to investigate the messenger, Li Chengqian turned to Li Ji and said, "Now Chang'an is unable to send troops to the outside world. Before we get the truth, we also asked Shangshu Li to guard Chang'an City. My father has pacified the Wang family in Taiyuan. There will be no accident in Chang'an at this time."

"The old minister obeys the order, what's going on in Luoyang?"

"According to your wishes, sending scouts to inquire. Whether or not your third brother has entered this muddy water, something must have happened in Luoyang, otherwise this official document should have been sent by Henan Shao Yin."

Li Ji received the order and withdrew, Li Chengqian also went to see how Du Shaoqing asked the messenger who reported the message.

Along the way, Du Shaoqing was asking his apprentice Di Renjie about the situation.

"Do you think this matter is reasonable?"

Di Renjie frowned and said, "It's unreasonable. Jiangnan Road is far from Chang'an. His Highness, the King of Wu, shouldn't have received any news from the prince's reign. If he took advantage of the chaos to rebel, he would be counterattacking Your Majesty. Not only could he not stand up for justice, but his strength was not good. Just because he had practiced the navy for two or three years? He knew that it would be impossible to succeed.

What's more, His Highness, the King of Wu, is outstanding in both civil and military abilities, so he would not be so confused."

"Well, you are the same as I thought. This matter may be like last time, someone framed it." Du Shaoqing pondered, "When you interrogate the prisoner later, you may have to use your unique skills. It is impossible to torture a messenger of 800 miles."

Di Renjie hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Master, what if, what if, what if, what should I do?"

"It is impossible to have this if!" Du Shaoqing asserted.

Di Renjie grabbed his master and persuaded him: "It is related to the great treasure of the throne. No one dares to assert that a person's human nature can control greed. You can't be careless."

Du Shaoqing frowned, was silent for a moment, and said coldly: "If it is really this, Li Ke wants to kill his father, kill his brother, usurp power and seize the throne, then he is seeking death!"

After saying that, he walked forward with great strides and stopped talking. Di Renjie hurriedly followed.

In the imperial guard barracks in the side courtyard of Taiji Hall, the soldier who reported the news was eating and drinking. This was a treatment that was urgently available for 800 miles. Those who could report the news day and night were basically exhausted when they rushed to Chang'an.

Many people who have been expelled from the 800-li expedition before they finished speaking, and some even died after sending the letter. Therefore, this job is an absolute honor and the treatment is extremely generous.

"How many soldiers have come to King Li Ke of Wu?"

A voice suddenly rang at the barracks door, and the man subconsciously replied: "Thirty thousand elites!"

"Have you ever seen the King of Wu himself?"

"without……

Hum? Who are you?" The man finally turned around and found that it was not His Royal Highness, so he stopped the Q&A.

Di Renjie next to him stood up and said, "This is the young prince Du Fu. He is here to check Luoyang information with you on the order of the prince and ask you what you should not hide."

"Ah? Du, Du Prince Consort?" The man seemed a little scared of Du Shaoqing, and was very surprised.

This scene made Du Shaoqing even more suspicious. If it were his own people, there was no reason to be so scared. After all, he had a good reputation among the soldiers and the people. Those who were afraid of being afraid of the name like this were mostly enemies.

Du Shaoqing smiled and said, "Forget it, don't waste time, Huaiying, ask him for me, see who he is, who came from his orders, and what the situation in Luoyang is like."

The messenger wondered, this man named Du is so lazy, and he has to do something for someone else?

Di Renjie stepped forward slowly and smiled at the other party. The commander's face was a little unnatural and wanted to smile with him, but the moment he touched Di Renjie's eyes, he seemed to be trapped in endless chaos and was stunned.

"Who are you? Where are you from? Who are you obeying orders? What is the situation in Luoyang? Is it really that King Li Ke of Wu rebelled and seized the city?" Di Renjie asked.

The man didn't even hesitate and replied directly: "I am the chief of the army in the Luoyang Shoucheng Army. I came from the Zheng family in Xingyang and obeyed the orders of the family."

What???

Zheng Family in Xingyang?

OK, there is something wrong! Du Shaoqing and Di Renjie looked at each other.

At this time, Li Chengqian also chased after him and happened to see this scene. He was about to have an attack, but was pulled by Du Shaoqing and then watched the show.

"Luoyang had been taken down by us, and the young emperor of Henan wanted to send a message and was killed by us. Unexpectedly, in less than three days, the army of King Li Ke of Wu, the Jiangnan Road, came from the southeast. We were defeated and were taken back by them.

The patriarch ordered me to rush to the court for eight hundred miles, asking them to send a large army to bite the dog with the King of Wu, so that we can take the opportunity to benefit..."

Before the man could finish his words, the furious Li Chengqian kicked him: "What a thief, he's so vicious!"

Hi, Hi, I haven’t finished asking yet... Du Shaoqing can’t even pull it.

The man had been woken up by kicking, looking at the prince kicking himself in a daze. Who am I? Where am I? Didn’t he treat me to a meal?

"Master, do you want me..." Di Renjie asked.

"No, you already know what you should know. If this guy dares to argue, he will be sent to the prison for punishment!" Du Shaoqing didn't want to spread the details of Di Renjie's hypnosis and questioning.

Li Chengqian, who calmed down, asked: "Brother-in-law, what should I do now? This guy's family information is about Luoyang?"

"We were caught by them in Luoyang, which was indeed a big loss. Fortunately, Jiangnandao's support was taken back.

It is also a surprise. Let’s wait and see if the King of Wu sent troops from Jiangnan to serve the king. Since he arrived in Luoyang, he must come to Chang'an." Du Shaoqing comforted him.

Sure enough, the next day, a cavalry came down from Chang'an City, under the banner of General Yunhui Du.

"The chief of the Jiangnan Governor's Office, General Yunhui, and Prince-in-law Du He, are ordered by His Highness the King of Wu to enter the palace and ask for your Majesty to see him, and open the door quickly!"

"General Du is afraid that he doesn't know that His Majesty is in charge of the army. Now Chang'an City is the prince's supervisor.

People come, open the city gate and let General Du come in." The city gate guard was very polite to Du He.

It is not because Du He is from the Du family, but because Du He once commanded the battle to destroy the country and was both a general, which is an admiration for the strong.

Du He met Li Chengqian and Du Shaoqing in the Political Consultative Hall. When asked why Li Ke did not come to pay a visit in person, Du He explained: "His Highness of the King of Wu stayed in Jiangnan and asked Senior Brother Su and I to bring 30,000 elite troops back to support him.

It’s not that he is not in a hurry, but because something happened last time, he was afraid that a prince would lead his troops privately without ordering the imperial edict, which would cause unnecessary trouble again…”

Li Chengqian sighed with relief: "The third brother is obviously too concerned, but my brother-in-law and I have always believed in his character."

Du Shaoqing explained: "Wei De (Li Ke's name) is not against us. He doesn't know that Your Majesty is in charge of the army, so he is responsible for his duties as a minister.

It was also the last incident that scared him and he had to be cautious, so you see, he sent Qinglian and General Su, and the court could tell what it meant at a glance."

"Hey, they are all their own brothers. It's really not worthy of making the third brother worry about it. When he comes back in the year, I'll talk about him well." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Du He asked, "We took Luoyang and found that it was the mastermind behind the Zheng family in Xingyang, so we suppressed their rebellion. What should we do next? Please give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince instructions."

"Okay, Qinglian, you are my brother-in-law, we don't have to be restrained in this relationship, sit down and discuss it carefully.

Your 30,000 troops will definitely rain in time. Otherwise, the imperial court would have to defend Chang'an in the face of this rebellion. It would be really frustrating. With your troops to help, the father would have withdrawn his troops earlier."

The three of them set the attack direction in the hall. Since the emperor went north to take over the Wang family, the Cui family of Boling, and the Li family of Longxi, Du He's 30,000 troops started from Luoyang and headed northeast to take over the Li family of Zhaojun and the Lu family of Fanyang.

In addition to the Zheng family in Xingyang, which had been taken down, the five surnames and seven hopes were all together. The Cui family in Qinghe had long surrendered to the court and did not participate in the rebellion.

Just as Du He set out again, Emperor Li Er had turned around from the Wang family in Taiyuan to attack the Li family in Longxi.

Before he could reach the territory of Li family in Longxi, he encountered a group of people on the way and almost had a misunderstanding with the Xuanjia Army.

"Your Majesty, there are people blocking the road ahead, with a large number of people of about 10,000. It seems that the visitors are not good. Please dismount and avoid it for a while." Li Junxian, deputy general of the Xuanjia Army, came to report.

Li Er said in a deep voice: "What's the origin? We haven't reached the territory of the Li family in Longxi yet. Did they set up an ambush in advance?"

"I don't know, General Zhang went to investigate and see that the other party's clothes seemed to be Hu's style. He couldn't say he was Hu from outside the border." Li Junxian frowned.

"Who? Hu people? Where did the Hu army come from within the Tang Dynasty?" Li Er emphasized his tone.

"Maybe, maybe it was attracted by someone's collusion inside and outside..." Li Junxian said worriedly.

"A bastard! If this is true, these people will not be jealous of death.
