Li Tan was still struggling, but his eyes suddenly blurred, and he received a slap with a "pop" sound. When he looked closely, Li Heng was already in front of him.

"Grandpa."

"Henan and Hebei have fallen, the people are in dire straits, and the rebels are raging. Did you let them die?!"

"My son, I am ashamed, but..."

"Get out!" Li Heng shouted angrily.

Li Fuguo quickly led a group of imperial guards forward, pulled Li Tan, persuaded him kindly, and pulled him out.

"Your Highness, calm down."

They gradually walked away, and there was another "pa" sound outside, and someone was slapped.

When Li Fuguo returned to the hall, half of his face was red and swollen, but he lowered his head deliberately, not wanting Li Heng to see it, so as not to blame Li Tan. But how could Li Heng not see it? For him,

If a son dares to hit someone around him who is carrying out the holy will for him, he is slapping him in the face.

Li Chu went to support Prince Ye Hu and asked him to sit down again, saying, "My younger brother has been rude and disrespectful since he was a child. You don't have to pay attention to him."

Fortunately, Prince Ye Hu had a good temper and did not make trouble with them. He only wanted to rob the people of Chang'an.

The courtiers nearby did not dare to make a decision on this matter, and they all carefully observed Li Heng's face.

Li Heng was very embarrassed, pacing, thinking, and finally sighed.

"In this situation, when the Tang Dynasty was in danger, not only was Hu Ni wreaking havoc. Moreover, even my father and brother were deceived by the rebellion."

Having said this, his expression became solemn and his tone increased.

"You know, Xue Bai is not the son of my second brother Li Ying. He is undoubtedly the son of Xue Xi, pretending to be a clan member, deceiving the world, and intending to overthrow the Tang Dynasty. I have found sufficient evidence for this matter, but I am afraid that there is not enough time. He

We have lured Li Guangbi into Chang'an, annexed his troops and horses, and are about to collude with Hu Ni. I am incompetent and cannot guard the ancestral temple and the country."

Everyone here is Li Heng's confidant, he doesn't need to prove anything, he just needs to express his stance.

After the ministers sighed a few times, someone turned to Prince Ye Hu and asked, "How many troops can Uihe send?"

"Four thousand cavalry."

Prince Ye Hu answered very confidently. Although the number was small, Huihe cavalry often had three horses per person and were skilled in riding and shooting. Even if they had four thousand cavalry, they would still be a formidable force.

All the ministers shook their heads, feeling that selling the city of Chang'an for four thousand cavalry would be too despising the ancestral temple and the country. After all, this was a dirty business of betraying the country's people. For a while, all the ministers did not dare to speak, pretending to think.

.

Another important question is, how many more troops do they need to defeat Xue Bai and Hu Ni and take back Chang'an?

It was impossible for Li Heng to speak in person about this kind of thing. Seeing this situation, he frowned and waited silently.

It was Li Fuguo who knew Li Heng's intentions best and reminded everyone in a low voice: "Not only Chang'an, but also the imperial court wants to recover the two capitals. Can Huihe send 10,000 troops?"

"Two capitals? Ten thousand people?"

Prince Ye Hu didn't understand at first, but after chewing for a while he finally understood - Xue Bai was difficult to deal with, and the Tang Dynasty needed Huihe to send 10,000 troops. Correspondingly, Huihe could be allowed to rob Chang'an and Luoyang of the children of gold and silk from the two cities.

~~

"Brother, how was your conversation with the Uighurs last night?"

"Don't worry, my grandfather didn't agree to his request. Instead, he persuaded him to send troops, and he will be rewarded later."

Before dawn, Li Tan, who had not slept all night, found Li Chu and asked about what happened last night.

Li Chu's reaction was calm and he put off the matter of borrowing troops from Huihe in one sentence. After that, his face became more solemn and he said: "I have something important to tell you."

"Brother, that's all."

"It has been found out that Xue Bai is not my cousin, he is the son of the deposed Prince Ying."

Li Tan said: "Brother is in Lingwu, how did you find out?"

"Zhang Bian said it," Li Chu said, "Zhang Bian knew very well what happened back then. He had an old relationship with Princess Tang Chang, and Princess Tang Chang married Xue Xi. He always knew that Xue Xi had an extramarital affair, and he also

That's Xue Bai. In other words, Xue Bai has never left Zhang Bian's sight since he was born, and he has never been a member of the Tang clan."

"Then...how could Prince Qing recognize him?"

"It's just greed." Li Chu said: "According to the envoy who returned from Fan Yang, Shi Siming also said that Xue Bai and An Lushan had colluded for a long time. I have asked Zhang Bian to hand over more evidence to the Emperor."

Li Tan said: "Brother, I have never been on Xue Bai's side, but guarding Chang'an is now..."

"I know." Li Chu patted his shoulder and said, "I know you want to put the overall situation first, but do you know that the country left by your ancestors may be usurped and subverted at any time?"

Li Tan was speechless.

Li Chu said: "The only plan for now is to hope that the Supreme Emperor will wake up soon and no longer be deceived by Xue Bai."

"Then, you really can't rob Chang'an?"

"Don't you still believe me?" Li Chu said, "Since childhood, have I ever lied to you?"

"Brother Xin."

After the two brothers discussed the matter, Li Tan left.

Li Chu watched his back, turned around and headed towards Prince Ye Hu's residence.

As soon as he arrived at the place and entered the door, he heard someone calling: "Brother!"

Li Chu turned around and saw that Prince Ye Hu was rushing towards him. He then showed a smile and said, "I was worried that you would forget about me as a brother when you wake up."

"I won't forget it!"

Prince Ye Hu stepped forward, hugged Li Chu affectionately, and said: "I have a half-brother named 'Yidi Jian'. Although he is my brother, he has always wanted to kill me. But my brother and I

Although you are sworn brothers just last night, our friendship is closer than that of real brothers!"

Li Chu was silent for a moment and patted Prince Ye Hu on the back.

"Me too."

"Brother, don't worry, I will go back to Governor Yu's mountain to gather troops and horses immediately to help you ascend the throne."

"Good brother..."

Shu County.

Li Longji took a deep breath, raised his head, sighed happily, and murmured: "You said you wanted to have a child for me."

Fan Nu was stunned for a moment and remembered some past events... She had actually worked hard. Once, she secretly summoned Xue Bai in front of her during the Tai Chi Palace Spring Banquet.

"The slave family is useless and has disappointed the saint."

"No, it's not too late." Li Longji murmured: "The old man is helpless, but his ambition is a thousand miles. The martyrs are ambitious in their old age."

Recently, he wants to have another child more than ever, even though he already has hundreds. What he wants now is not inheritance, but to prove himself.

Fan Nu then looked overjoyed, prostrated herself and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the holy scripture."

"Tell me, what you saw and heard in Lingwu, when Li Heng ascended the throne, were you glad that I passed away?"

"The slave family has been detained and doesn't know much." Fan Nu said, "It's just that King Zhong gave His Majesty a temple name."

"Oh? What is it?"

This matter is very unlucky. Others have always avoided it and dare not tell Li Longji. But Fan Nu is different. She is a pillow person and can whisper in private.

"I don't know what those things mean. I just say what I heard and ask the saint to forgive me."

"Tell me." Li Longji was also curious about what kind of temple name he would have behind him.

"Dai...Daizong." Fan Nu whispered: "They say that the achievements of the saints in the Tang Dynasty are like that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The temple name of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was Shizong, so the saints should do the same, but to avoid the taboo of Emperor Taizong's name, the temple name

Dai Zong."

This is a very high temple title, but Li Longji frowned slightly and sneered.

He never liked others to compare Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with him, because the courtiers always liked to use the incident of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to force the crown prince Liu Ju to death in his later years to admonish him, which made him very disgusted. And he believed that the achievements of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were not enough to compare with him.

He is comparable.

"Li Heng still wants to ridicule me for being harsh on him, and that's all he has to offer."

Fan Nu said: "Prince Zhong did not agree to use the word 'Dai'. He said that His Majesty's martial arts can only be demonstrated by temple names such as 'Jing', 'Xuan', and 'Sheng', but...the officials refused,

King Zhong was also helpless, so he put the matter on hold for the time being."

Li Longji said calmly: "I am still alive and well, and he dares to give me a temple title."

Having said that, he could still feel a trace of Li Heng's filial piety towards him. In fact, he knew in his heart that Li Heng still maintained his achievements from the posthumous name.

"I don't know what happened next."

Fan Nu actually doesn't care who she wants to say good things to, and now she only lives for herself. Li Heng promised her many benefits; but over there, Xue Bai rejected her last time and rescued Yang Yuhuan in Chencang, but he didn't

After saving her, the original kindness finally turned into a faint resentment, but it is not important anymore, and there is no possibility of seeing her again in the future.

"Which one is going to be used?" Li Longji murmured to himself, still curious.

Within two days, all the kings and ministers from Chang'an arrived.
