"The king hasn't woken up yet?"

"The doctor said that the throat was damaged, and the injury was not serious when he fell off the horse. I can't say when he woke up?"

"Go and invite me again. If there are good doctors in Luoyang City, I will invite them all."

Hearing such conversations in a daze, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel a little confused, almost thinking that he had entered the Jiuyou Huangquan, and then he heard the word Luoyang. Then he felt pain everywhere in his body, and he couldn't help but moan subconsciously, and then struggled to open his eyes. However, the feeling of discomfort from the darkness to the light made him unable to distinguish the figure who was rushing over. Until someone seemed to have used something to feed him with water on his lips, he gradually felt that his burning throat had recovered, and his eyes could finally see something clearly.

The two people in front of him were all dressed in white shirts. One of them was busy taking his pulse as if he was a doctor. The other was holding a porcelain bowl in his hand. He seemed to be familiar with him. At this moment, Li Zhi had no time to recognize him. After moaning again, he asked softly: "Where is this?"

"This is Luoyang. The king finally got lucky and escaped. As for the military and civilians in the south of the guards, most of the people who broke through the siege were safe and sound, and the people in the city were safe. Please rest assured."

When Li Zhi heard that this place was really Luoyang, he immediately showed an incredible expression and took a deep breath: "How many days have you been?"

"Eight days have passed since the Battle of Weinan."

Li Zhi was surprised to learn that he had been in a coma for eight days. He looked at the middle-aged man in white who was talking a few more times, and confirmed that he had definitely seen the other party, so he ignored the pain on his body and asked seriously: "Who dares to ask the Lord? Who saved me?"

"I am the right prime minister and the capital of Anbei. I remember that I had followed King Xin'an to attack Khitan in the north, and then replaced King Xin'an as the governor in Lingzhou of Shuofang. I almost came late this time. I am really sorry for the king and the soldiers who fought alone."

It turned out to be Du Shiyi

If it weren't for the serious injury, Li Zhi was almost shocked to sit up. The person who had just taken care of him like a follower was Du Shiyi for a moment. Li Zhi simply didn't know what to say, his face was subtle, and his heart was mixed. Unlike the royal family of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty did not have such a high power. Most of the people in the court would have idle positions such as Guangluqing, and outside, they were at most a governor. Such as Xin'an, Li Wei, who was a governor. Therefore, like Du Shiyi's current status, even if he was able to compete with the prince, let alone him.

He is just the great-grandson of Emperor Taizong, and his relationship with the throne is already very far from that of the emperor.

"It turns out it's Prime Minister Du, I'm rude." Li Zhi wanted to ask about the reason for the previous war, but then he suddenly remembered the most important thing, that is, what was in his arms, he instinctively wanted to raise his hand to touch it, but then he noticed that Yu Jing's robe had changed. He immediately looked tight and asked in shock, "Where is my armor and robe?"

Seeing Li Zhi suddenly asked this, Du Shiyi was a little surprised, but he still explained with a kind look: "The king was rescued from the rebels. At that time, there was no armor and his clothes were scattered. In addition, the king was seriously injured, so when the wound was treated, the military doctors in the army had already changed the clothes for the king, and the robe was still left."

"Things out there..."

When Du Shiyi heard Li Zhi's question, he immediately realized that Li Zhi had something extremely important. After seeing Cheng Qianli, the governor of Hedong, Cheng Qianli, the soldiers were sent to Xiuwu and rushed straight to Xinxiang of Jijun. After he and Guo Ziyi swept the vicinity of Luoyang, they had no time to return to Luoyang. They immediately divided the troops. He went to Xi to recover Xingyang County and Chenliu County and forced Tian Chengsi to surrender, while Guo Ziyi went south and recovered Linru County and Yingchuan County. Therefore, when he was in Chenliu County, he learned that the rebels in Lingchang County gathered together to attack King Li Zhi of Wu. He didn't even have time to go to Yongqiu to meet Princess Gu'an, so he immediately led his troops to rescue the siege.

However, the rebels besieged Weinan were numerous. If he had not ordered people to raise two flags of Du Guo, the other party mistakenly thought that he and Guo Ziyi arrived at the same time. In addition, the bravery of the front army, the rebels were a little panicked, and they were afraid that there would be a head-on battle to fight. In order to make the show realistic, he led the tail of the army to pursue it for a while before he withdrew his troops. The biggest gain was to steal King Li Zhi from the rebels. No matter how many talents this old Li Tang clan had, he could lead the troops to cut off the rear at a critical moment, and his courage was worthy of admiration.

He thought about it and finally shook his head and said, "Good King, after you were seriously injured, the rebels carried you away. When the soldiers in the army saved you, your clothes were scattered and there was nothing. I am afraid that all valuables such as jade would be taken away by the rebels."

When Li Zhi saw Du Shiyi thinking that he was worried about money, the corner of his mouth twitched. He was unwilling to say that Du Shiyi discovered the emperor's hand-in-hand mantra, so he used the excuse of the rebels to seize it and secretly destroy it. Otherwise, if it really fell into the hands of the rebels and was promoted by these monarchs and fatherless guys, then what kind of abyss will the son be pushed to today? He would not have to use loyal ministers and good generals, but he would have made himself a marshal, who was reluctant to take on the heavy burden. If the morale of the army is really in chaos, wouldn't the good situation be lost in an instant?

Du Shiyi also noticed that Li Zhi seemed to be in a mess. After thinking about it, he did not continue to talk to the seriously injured prince. After comforting him, he planned to leave and go to find Li Zhi's surviving personal soldiers and servants to interrogate what the King of Wu was so concerned about. But as soon as he walked to the door, he almost bumped into the Pugu Huaien who rushed in. He took two steps back and looked at the military general who was no longer young, and scolded him angrily: "Huien, why are you so frivolous?"

"Master, look at this"

When Du Shiyi saw Pugu Huai'en handing over a piece of paper with a dark face, he couldn't help but take it suspiciously. After scanning, his expression also solidified. He glanced at Pugu Huai'en again, then glanced at Li Zhi on the sick bed there, and after thinking about it, he turned back.

"King, this is something that the rebels sent around before retreating into Hebei. If you can hold on, please take a look."

When Li Zhi saw Du Shiyi's solemn expression, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. Seeing that the thin piece of paper was placed in front of him, he recognized the words that he had seen countless times, had been struggling countless times, and sighed countless times. He couldn't help but sighed to the sky: "It's all my fault. I didn't expect that when the matter came, this thing actually fell into the hands of the rebels."

When he heard Li Zhi admit it with pleasure, Pu Gu Huaien couldn't help but feel angry. He rushed to the bed in three steps and stretched out his hand to pull Li Zhi up. It was Du Shiyi who saw the opportunity and almost blocked him. Then he had to take a step back angrily, but he couldn't help it anymore.

"As the emperor, the tyrant king left Chang'an and only cared about running for his own life. If the general had not arrived quickly, he might have known whether he was dead or alive. Now he is at the critical moment of suppressing rebellion. However, he only knew what kind of imperial power tricks he was using. He would not be afraid of the hearts of the soldiers in the army. Now the rebels in the thief made such a big statement that he said that his Majesty did not believe in the general, suspected the general, and the soldiers and the people were unstable. Who would still work for him, the emperor?"

Li Zhi opened his mouth, and wanted to accuse Pu Gu Huaien of not slandering the king and father, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't say a word. Seeing Du Shiyi tucking the quilt for himself, he suddenly grabbed Du Shiyi's sleeve and said with a pleading face: "Prime Minister Du, in this national crisis, please put the overall situation first, Li Zhi was incompetent. It was just because people's hearts were already in chaos, but this was just recommended by everyone and led the banner of righteousness. But I really had the talent and ability, so I had no face to call myself as a marshal and beg for Prime Minister Du..."

Before he finished speaking, Du Shiyi smiled and held his hand and said, "The king doesn't need to say anything. This matter has nothing to do with the king. On the contrary, the soldiers and civilians of Heluo admire the king's loyalty and courage. I also want to personally write a letter to ask for the king's merits and ask the court to praise the king's courage to cut off the rear. Those warriors who fought from the king should also receive praise and rewards. After I ask them, I will personally ask them. Those who are willing to join the army will be organized into the army according to the original system. Those who refuse will return to their homeland. I will engrave plaques to praise the government."

Li Zhi didn't expect that Du Shiyi not only did not mention the edict that the rebels proclaimed everywhere, but instead said that he wanted to ask for merit for him and for his soldiers under his command. His eyes suddenly turned red. He completely forgot the pain on his body, clenched Du Shiyi's hand tightly, and said in a choked voice: "Captain Du, thank you, thank you.

"The king has not recovered from his serious injury, so let's take a rest first. Don't think too much about these troubles. It's just a conspiracy of the rebels to disrupt our army and the people. It's not worth getting angry about it."

When Pugu Huaien came out of the room with Du Shiyi, he was so angry that he couldn't help it. He stopped Du Shiyi and asked, "Chang'an has done such shameless things. Why are you so cheap, Grandmaster?"

Du Shiyi asked leisurely: "Who is it cheaper for me?"

"Who is it cheaper? Then Li Zhi has only fought a few battles, why..."

"No matter how many battles he has fought, he can choose to resist under the rebel army's military and civilians, rather than surrender or leave the whole city to escape, and strive to protect the city. What's more, he also recruits military and civilians to fight back? Faced with the rebel siege, he ordered the main force to break through and cut off his back. For an old man of this age, he does not admire or praise, and he must be harsh. It is not him who issued the order, and he has never even declared this to his soldiers, which shows his idea. Therefore, if I pass on my order, I say that the rebels deliberately cheated and shake our army's morale. It was completely fabricated and then sent this copy to Chang'an, so that our Majesty will have a headache."

Pugu Huaien suddenly realized. He smiled and slapped his head, carefully took the wrinkled paper, and then folded it carefully, then he smiled and said, "I will go to the army to inform the people so that they will not make a fuss. When the general wrote to Chen to report this matter, he would add a joint letter from the army to give it to him, which would say that the army was very indignant of the rebels so slandering His Majesty."
