Chang'an, the residence of the Grand Sima.

Thumb, thumb, thumb!

A crisp sound of footsteps came from far and near. Grand Sima Li Jue glanced at the two people walking in at the door, and then slowly stood up to greet him.

"It's rare to be Wenyou. Yuanzhong joins the Grand Sima Mansion to visit the Grand Sima Mansion. My mansion is full of glory!" Li Jie stopped and said with a smile on his face.

However, the words sound kind, but they are soft and hard, which is quite sarcastic.

Obviously, Li Jue didn't like Li Xuan and Li Ru, but because of etiquette and affection, he had to get up and act like a show to avoid losing the demographic.

"As a subordinate, how dare we ask the Grand Sima to stand up and greet him? Meeting the Grand Sima!" Li Xuan and Li Ru were not people who were bullied. While bowing and bowing, Li Xuan said respectfully without hesitation.

"Hahaha!" Li Jie's lips twitched slightly, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, but his smile did not change. He raised his hand and said, "We are not outsiders, and we can't write two Li characters in a single stroke. In the future, Yuan Zhong must not be so polite. Please sit down and speak."

After a little greeting, Li Jue gently put down the teacup and asked with a smile: "Both are important officials in the court, and they are busy every day. Why do you have time to come to my house for a discussion today? If you have something to discuss, it doesn't matter if you talk to me, and you don't have to worry about it."

Indeed, for a long time, the relationship between Li Jue, Li Ru and Li Xuan has been very subtle, neither far nor close, not familiar with each other, just a friend who is doing business and nodded. In the past half month, as Li Li was in danger was reported back to Chang'an, the relationship between the two sides had not violated the river and water before was broken, and there was a tendency to break up and face the tip of the head against the wheat. The relationship was very stiff, and they were guarding against each other. A quiet situation of opposition was formed.

It was precisely because the conflict between them was prominent that the atmosphere in the entire Chang'an City was extremely tense, so that all the officials in the court were silent and lived in silence, for fear that the person who was in trouble would cause a disaster to kill him.

At the same time, the internal internal troops of the county government stationed in Chang'an Imperial City were not calm. The deputy commanders of the county government troops, Hu Zhen and Yang Ding, privately mobilized troops to the east gate and the south gate. For this reason, the two generals Hu and Yang had a fierce dispute with Tietuo. If Li Xuan had not come forward to stop him in time, the two sides would have almost met and fought in an internal battle.

Therefore, Chang'an City has now become a confrontation and splitting situation. Hu Zhen, who had always been close to Li Jue, and the other generals Yang Ding led 20,000 county government troops to occupy the East Gate and South Gate. Although they did not dare to blatantly disobey the general's military orders, they tried every means to shirk their qualities and refused to retreat. The ten city gates including the West Gate, the North Gate, the Desheng Gate, the Arc de Triomphe were still in the hands of Tietuo. They were under the unified order of the General Guard's Mansion.

Now, this stalemate has lasted for ten days, and the situation is becoming increasingly tense. Both sides are trying their best to restrain themselves and brew, which is a sign of the storm coming.

The reason why the situation in Chang'an is so bad is that it is the source of Xiliang coach Li Li. If it weren't for the rumors that he had been killed, no one in Xiliang dared to act rashly, and no one dared to openly disobey the orders of the General Guard's Mansion. Fortunately, the major main battle camps do not know the news that Li Li was in trouble, or the leaders and generals of each battalion do not believe that the head coach Li Li has been killed, so they are all waiting and waiting. Responding to changes with the unchanging situation. If the main battle camps also participate, the entire situation in Xiliang will be really in chaos. A big melee is inevitable.

Just as the situation in Chang'an was tense, Li Xuan and Li Ru came to visit Li Jue with a god.

This move really surprised Li Jue and was full of suspicion. He didn't know what the two of them were trying to make.

Seeing the suspicious expression on Li Jue's face, Li Xuan and Li Ru looked at each other and smiled.

Immediately, Li Xuan stood up and bowed to Li Jue in the hall, and said respectfully: "Today, my subordinates came to apologize to Grand Sima. I had offended my subordinates before, so I would like to forgive him!"

"Oh? Why did Yuanzhong say this?" Li Jie pondered in surprise, his expression became more and more serious and he was full of doubts.

After a while, he waved his hand without waiting for Li Xuan to answer and said, "Yuanzhong doesn't have to be so polite. You and Wenyou are both confidant officials under Wenchang. They are responsible for heavy responsibilities. Why do you need to apologize for any matters under your responsibilities? Yuanzhong said bluntly, what are the important things you two have here?"

"Since the Grand Sima said he was asking for something, how could Yuanzhong dare not hide it or not report it?" Li Xuan smiled calmly and responded. Then he stepped aside and sat down without any rush, and said with a relaxed expression: "Yesterday, the Lord sent a letter to tell us that everything was fine and that we would return to Chang'an soon."

"Ah! Wenchang has nothing to do——" Li Jue was shocked when he heard this, suddenly stood up, and exclaimed in disbelief.

"That's right." Li Xuan nodded and continued: "The Xiahou brothers were determined to kill the lord and mobilized the family's dead soldiers to follow him and track him for a month. In the end, Xiahou Dun even sacrificed his life to die with his lord. Unfortunately, they did not expect that the lord was born with a dragon. When he got ashore, he was a tiger and a dragon. Even if the flood was surging, he could not help him. Therefore, although the lord suffered a great disaster, he was in danger and was not injured. A few days ago, the lord ordered the personal guard commander Li Zhi to return to Sili first. This morning, he had led the Jinqi Guard back to Chang'an, and was now outside the door."

"Is Zicheng here?" Li Jue's expression changed when he heard this. A look of shock flashed across his eyes, his face showed panic, and he was already in a state of chaos. Then he sternly said to the butler who was serving beside him: "I'm still standing still, please ask General Zicheng to come in!"

"Dang thump!"

As Li Jie looked at him in surprise, Li Zhi, the commander of Jin Qiwei, strode into the lobby and bowed: "Last general Li Zhi pays homage to Grand Sima!"

"Zicheng has worked hard all the way, please sit down and rest!" Seeing Li Zhi's extremely serious ice face, Li Jue was inexplicably scared and quickly raised his hand and said.

Li Zhi remained motionless when he heard the voice, and his face was calm and calm, "Thank you for your love, I will only give this to convey the lord's order, so it is not convenient to stay for a long time."

"Oh?" Li Jie looked at Li Zhi in amazement and asked in a low voice: "I don't know what Wenchang said in his letter?"

"According to the order of the lord general, General Hu Zhen of the Central Army was promoted to Jinwu, General Yang Ding of the Central Army was promoted to Chang'an City Gate Order. From now on, the two generals led 20,000 county government troops to guard the city defense of the capital, and were under the jurisdiction of the Grand Sima. The county government troops led Tietuo's troops to withdraw from the imperial city and stationed troops in Meiwu. Only need to maintain the public security of the Sanfu County and County. From now on, all military and political affairs in Chang'an City will be controlled by the Grand Sima. The General's Office of the General of the Guard will pay food and pay once every six months, and all civil and military officials of the Western Liang army shall not interfere in the military affairs of Chang'an!"

After saying that, Li Zhi took out Li Li's letter from his arms and handed it to Li Jue, and whispered: "Before leaving, the lord let the lord forward to the Grand Sima: his uncle and nephew are closest relatives in blood, and he has done everything he can do. I hope the Grand Sima will manage the imperial city well and do not make any mistakes."

After saying that, Li Zhi bowed and bowed, turned around and left with great strides.

Li Zhi had just left. Li Xuan and Li Ru immediately stood up to say goodbye. Only Li Jue was still sitting in the main seat and was stunned, with a dull look in his eyes.

After leaving the Grand Sima Mansion, Li Ru and Li Xuan drove to the General Wei Mansion in a carriage.

"The lord still never forgets his uncle and nephew's relationship. This time, not only did not blame the Grand Sima, but instead handed over the entire Chang'an City to him. Doesn't the lord know that the Grand Sima has a different ambition?" Li Ru said softly to Li Xuan in a worried manner.

Li Xuan smiled indifferently when he heard this and whispered: "Brother Wenyou, don't be angry. In fact, the lord's plan is far-reaching and has good intentions!

In the past two years, the Grand Sima has been trying hard to regain military power, and has been doing a lot of effort and has made small moves. The lord is aware of this, but he never cared about it and ignored it. This time, Chang'an has been in a state of turmoil again, and the situation is worrying, but at this time the lord directly sent Hu Zhen, Yang Ding and other old generals to the Grand Sima's tent to serve. It seems that it is a last resort, but it is not.

As long as the two generals Hu Zhen and Yang Ding learned that the lord was safe and sound, they did not dare to make trouble. When the lord came back, they would definitely take the initiative to take the initiative to apologize. Now, the lord not only did not blame them, but instead promoted them to power and repay their grievances with virtue. In this way, how could they dare to have a strange intention? How could they not die if they did not succeed!"

Speaking of this, Li Xuan said softly: "The generals who were secretly contacted by the Grand Sima this time, besides Hu Zhen and Yang Ding, there must be other generals in the army, and they may even be generals in the main battle camp. However, these people did not act rashly, only Hu Zhen and Yang Ding could not bear to take action first. Now the lord is fair and safe, so these generals will naturally give up the idea. Hu Zhen and Yang Ding were not punished, but were appeased by the lord. In fact, the lord was not the one who committed the rebellion, but the other lords who were friends with Li Jue."

Li Ru nodded with consent and sighed: "In this way, we were too anxious and the method was too fierce, so that the Grand Sima was afraid that we would not be good for him, so he hurriedly summoned Hu Zhen, Yang Ding and others to seize the city gate. But this matter will be resolved sooner or later. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and Xiliang cannot accommodate two people who issued orders. Now the Grand Sima is in charge of the court and is in charge of Chang'an. Although all the civil and military officials of the court and our army know that the lord is the lord of Xiliang, a discerning person can naturally see the whole story, but ordinary people do not understand the truth! In the long run, the Grand Sima's reputation will become a foil, and sooner or later it will cause a great disaster!"

Li Xuan shook his head slightly and whispered: "Wenyou still doesn't know much about the lord. The lord values ​​family affection and respects the lord for the lord, so he repeatedly accommodates the lord. However, the lord was too much this time, revealing his ambition to take over the military power, which made the lord extremely annoyed.

During the war in the southern suburbs, the lord and the Grand Sima had a long agreement that the lord would take charge of the troops and the Grand Sima would sit in court. Over the years, the lord had always fulfilled his promises and never surpassed them. However, the Grand Sima went back on his word and was obsessed with power and was still ambitious, trying to regain military and political control and dominate Xiliang. He regarded his lord's respect for him as cowardice, and his trust in him as bargaining chips, becoming more and more unscrupulous."

Speaking of this, Li Xuan sneered, "Haha, people are more important to know! If the Grand Sima really had the ability to unify Xiliang, how could he be defeated by the lord? In other words, the lord pacified Xiliang for several years and took charge of the three prefectures of Xiliang. His great achievements and high prestige were not comparable to that of the Grand Sima!

It’s hard to survive if you commit sins. Next, it depends on what Grand Sima himself thinks. If he can understand the lord’s good intentions, then there is still room for recovery. Otherwise,,,,,,,”
