Chapter 694 Wei Zheng is seriously ill
"Xuantu is bright at the beginning of the month, and the clear light shines on Liaojie. The light reflected in the clouds is temporarily hidden, and the flowers are like embroidered flowers across the trees. The soul is full of osmanthus branches, and the wheel is lost. Everyone, stop and watch the demon atmosphere go away."

After Gao Qixiang’s defeat, Liaodong City’s foreign aid was lost, and the Liaodong City was destroyed the next day, and the entire Liaodong City was only two strong cities, Liaodong and Anshi. The destruction of Liaodong City meant that half of Liaodong City fell into the hands of the Tang army. De'an City, from now on the entire west of the Yalu River is the land of Tang Dynasty.

However, the strength of Anshi City is not as strong as Liaodong City. After all, it was not Anshi City that blocked the 40 troops of Emperor Sui Yang, but Liaodong City. In this case, Li Shimin even felt that Anshi City was already in his pocket. Things, Liaodong is about to be in hand, and it is only a matter of time before Goguryeo destroys the country.

So that when Li Shimin settled in Liaodong City that night, looking at the night in Liaodong, he composed this song "Liaocheng Watching the Moon" complacently.But just when Li Shimin was full of ambition and aimed at Pyongyang, Li Ke in Luoyang City at this time encountered difficulties.

Luoyang, Ziwei City, East Palace.

"Your Highness, just now came the news from the front line of Liaodong." Wang Xuance said to Li Ke in the inner hall of the East Palace, delivering the news that the Tang army had broken through Liaodong City to Li Ke.

Li Ke looked at the battle report sent by Liaodong, and said with a smile: "Rengui has been the guard of the palace for many years, and the world thinks that benevolence is not as good as a tiger's idiot. From now on, I am afraid that it will become famous all over the world and change the world's view."

The tiger idiot in Li Ke's mouth is Xu Chu of Cao Wei. In the same way, Xue Rengui is no different from Xu Chu in the eyes of others.

But this is only the opinion of others, but Li Ke himself knows very well that Xue Rengui, who "generals three arrows will rule the world, and a strong man enters Hanguan with a long song", how can his upper limit be just a guard commander, and he should be on the battlefield. A place of great fame.

Wang Xuance said: "This is also the crown prince's blue eyes. I strongly recommend Rengui to go eastward with him, so that he can have today."

Li Kedao: "Rengui added officials and worshiped him with this battle, and named him the governor of Andong, but the governor of Andong has not yet been set up. It seems that the father is determined to win Liaodong."

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been only two Protectorate Houses. One is the Anxi Protectorate established after Hou Jun set up Gaochang and opened up the Western Regions, and the other is the Anbei Protectorate established after Li Ke pacified Xue Yantuo. , but so far there has never been any talk of the Anton Protectorate.

However, it is not difficult to guess the functions of the Anton Governor's Mansion. As the name suggests, most of them are responsible for the control of Liaodong and Northeast Zhuhu.

Li Ke and Wang Xuance were talking about Liaodong, at this moment, suddenly a guard from Donggong walked out of the hall.

"Reporting to the crown prince, someone from Wei's residence is holding a greeting card to urgently ask to see the crown prince." Dong Gongwei hurriedly walked to the gate of the palace and asked Li Ke.

"Wei Mansion? Which Wei Mansion?" There were many officials surnamed Wei in the imperial court. Li Ke didn't realize what was going on for a while, so he asked Wei Shui.

Wei led back: "It's Zheng Guogong's Wei residence."

Wei Zheng!

When Li Ke heard Wei Shui's words, his heart skipped a beat, and there was a flash of uneasiness. For a moment, Li Ke also knew why Wei Shui was in such a hurry.

Ever since Li Shimin agreed to conquer Liaodong, Wei Zheng, the servant who was ill at the time, had already learned about it.

Wei Zheng has always valued literature over martial arts, and opposed the use of swords, let alone Goguryeo, which had suffered a lot in the previous Sui Dynasty. As soon as Wei Zhengfang knew about this, he hurriedly wrote a letter to argue about it, asking Li Shimin to withdraw his order, but Li Shimin did not agree. In this matter, he insisted on going his own way and still sent troops to the east.

After Li Shimin's imperial conquest, Li Ke was in Luoyang to supervise the country. Originally, according to Li Ke's intention, he wanted Wei Zheng to recuperate in Chang'an, but Wei Zheng resolutely rejected Li Ke's kindness and insisted on coming to Luoyang with Li Ke.

Wei Zheng was unwell and sick, so it was impossible to assist the government, but Wei Zheng was the prime minister, the prince was in Luoyang to supervise the country, and Fang Xuanling had stayed in Chang'an, Wei Zheng had no reason to stay in Chang'an, so Wei Zheng also He came to Luoyang dragging his sick body, not to mention that Wei Zheng was worried about Li Shimin's Eastern Expedition, and thought that he could get news about the Eastern Expedition earlier in Luoyang.

Wei Zheng was not seriously ill this time, he was recuperating at the mansion, and he never went to court.Wei Fu's sudden request to see Li Ke at this time is obviously due to some accident in Wei Zheng's body, and Li Ke also sent the imperial physician to see Wei Zheng a few days ago, the imperial physician's result was not good, obviously Wei Zheng's illness wanted to The recovery will not be so fast, and the only possibility is that Wei Zheng's condition has deteriorated.

When Li Ke heard the words, his face showed worry, he exchanged a glance with Wang Xuance, and immediately said: "Quick pass."

"No." Hearing the words, Wei Li immediately complied.

This time, it was Wei Zheng's second son who was anxious to see Li Ke in the palace, Wei Shuyu, a Fang Langzhong in the Ministry of War. As soon as Wei Shuyu entered the palace gate, he said to Li Ke: "My minister, Wei Shuyu, pays homage to the prince."

Li Ke said hastily: "Sijin (Wei Shuyu's name) please hurry up, Sijin came in such a hurry, but what happened in the house?"

Wei Shuyu looked at Li Ke's appearance, knowing that Li Ke probably guessed the reason, Wei Shuyu replied: "Father suddenly became seriously ill at noon today, and the water and rice did not go in. The imperial doctor has seen it. I am afraid that time is running out, my minister. I was ordered by my father to enter the palace to ask to see the prince, my father is looking forward to seeing the prince."

What Wei Zheng really wanted to see was Li Shimin, not Li Ke, but now that Li Shimin was marching eastward, he naturally couldn't see him, so he could only say some things to Li Ke, the heir apparent, or pass them on to Li Shimin through Li Ke's mouth.

Wei Zheng was born in the second year of Daxiang in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and now he is sixty-three years old. He was already old, and he was sick, and it happened that Li Shimin was going to the East, and he was depressed. It was less than two months since he arrived in Luoyang, and suddenly seriously ill.

Wei Zheng was not an ordinary courtier. In the past, when Wei Zheng was sick, Li Shimin would often come to visit him in the mansion, not to mention Li Ke.

Li Ke immediately said: "Sijin goes first, and my palace will arrive in a while."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he was about to change clothes and get up to go, but at this moment, Wang Xuance suddenly grabbed Li Ke.

Wang Xuance said to Li Ke: "Mr. Xuan Cheng has an upright temperament, and he has always opposed the use of force against Liaodong. This time, His Majesty has not followed his words, but insisted on going his own way. I am afraid that Mr. Xuan Cheng's words will inevitably be out of proportion. I hope the crown prince will be patient and do everything he can. That's it."

There are two reasons for Wang Xuance to say this. One is that Wei Zheng is highly respected. This time he is critically ill. If Li Ke had any disputes with him, it would be detrimental to Li Ke's reputation. Another reason is that Wang Xuance himself respects Wei Zheng very much. Wang Xuance is good at vertical and horizontal ways, he is naturally tactful, he thinks he can't be as upright as Wei Zheng, but he still admires Wei Zheng and his man, Wang Xuance.

Li Ke nodded and said: "Xuance don't worry, I have my own discretion."
