Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 14 Lifespan
Li Mi continued: "Whether it's two or three years, or four or five years, I trust Guo Pingzhang's ability, but I don't trust whether the court can last until then."

This time Guo Ziyi was also silent.

The Lingwu court may sound like a small court, but it is actually a grassroots team.

Most of the courtiers in Xijing actually followed the emperor to Shuzhong.

Now the emperor doesn't know the news of Lingwu's ascension to the throne, and many people are still waiting to see which side they want to take refuge in.

Apart from Guo Ziyi who firmly supported the emperor, Li Heng didn't have many ministers he could rely on.

More importantly, Guo Ziyi's reputation in the small court is too high now, and he has already felt the emperor's alienation.

Guo Ziyi is not a straightforward general, on the contrary he is a seasoned politician.

He naturally understood where these estrangements came from, and he also knew what the Li Tang royal family was about.

The emperor is mean and ruthless, but in the blood of Lao Li's family, there are genes of father's kindness, son's filial piety, brother's friendship and respect.

The emperor Li Longji also relied on extraordinary means to kill many relatives of his own family.

This is true for relatives by blood. For a military leader like Guo Ziyi who wields great power, Li Heng's attitude can be imagined.

Although Guo Ziyi has repeatedly polluted himself to protect himself, Li Heng's fear of him is getting deeper and deeper.

Li Mi said: "In terms of military strategy, the crown prince is not as good as King Jianning. In terms of literature, the crown prince is not as good as King Jianning. The only thing the crown prince has is the status of his son for many years."

Guo Ziyi looked at Li Mi suspiciously and asked, "In this case, why don't you support King Jianning?"

Li Mi sighed and said: "Whether a virtuous person is a virtuous person or not, an individual has his own standard."

"Guo Pingzhang thinks that King Jianning is worthy, so others can also think that other princes are worthy. His Majesty's heirs are not too small. If everyone has their own calculations, can the Lingwu court still stand the toss?"

Now Guo Ziyi shut up, he didn't refute Li Mi's words.

Li Mi went on to say: "I know that the Crown Prince has a lot of bad things. He has a cowardly personality, is easily influenced by his close ministers, and is not good at martial arts. But as long as he sticks to the line of establishing a successor, then the Lingwu court will not be chaotic!"

"But if it is changed from Lidi to Lixian, it will be the source of disaster, and the Lingwu court can't stand such a toss."

Li Mi looked at Guo Ziyi and said, "Guo Pingzhang, do you know that His Majesty already knows about your closeness to King Jianning."

Guo Ziyi was taken aback.

Li Mi went on to say: "If Your Majesty is looking for you, you are so prominent for King Jianning, do you think Your Majesty can still sleep well?"

At this moment, Guo Ziyi also felt a chill down his back.

Today's His Majesty betrayed his father and ascended the throne in Lingwu.

Guo Ziyi knew very well that with the character of the above emperor Li Longji, he would never say any nonsense about abdicating.

If Guo Ziyi supported King Jianning, the emperor might have trouble sleeping and eating.

Li Mi continued: "I will report to Your Majesty to ask him to send King Jianning to Longyou, but His Majesty was unwilling at first."

"His Majesty intends to bestow the position of Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses to King Jianning, and let him lead the army to calm the rebels."

"But I told His Majesty about King Qin's past, and His Majesty listened to my memory and asked King Jianning to send troops to Longyou Dao."

The old affairs of King Qin are the old affairs of Taizong Li Shimin.

Back then when Li Shimin was granted the title of King of Qin and destroyed the Sui Dynasty to rule the world, King Qin made great contributions.

But later Li Yuan wanted to make his son a prince, and Qin Wang Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Change, killing brothers and brothers, and forced Li Yuan to abdicate.

Li Mi woke up the emperor with "the old things of King Qin", and he immediately changed his order, asking Li Yan to go to Longyou Road to dispatch troops to Yumen Guanqin King.

Guo Ziyi looked at Li Mi and said, "You are right about supporting the Crown Prince, but colluding with Uighurs to ambush King Jianning, has this been done?"

Li Bi shook his head and said, "I, Li Bi, did not do this. I just suggested that His Majesty transfer King Jianning away from the front line, and never said that King Jianning should be removed."

Guo Ziyi looked into Li Mi's eyes, only seeing the dusty look in the eyes of the other party, and could not see any fluctuations at all.

Seeing such clear eyes, Guo Ziyi sighed and said, "Since it wasn't done by the secretary, then we all misjudged someone."

Li Mi also sighed and said, "I didn't expect that Bi is underestimating the world."

Guo Ziyi clasped her fists and said to Li Mi: "I am proficient in physiognomy. When I first met King Jianning, I knew he was a blessed man."

"Oh?" Li Mi looked at Guo Ziyi, did not expect this old general to know physiognomy?
However, everyone in the world said that Guo Ziyi had a good understanding of people, and all the people he recommended and promoted were pillars of the country.

I didn't expect him to know how to do physiognomy.

Guo Ziyi said: "Auspicious people have their own celestial features. If King Jianning is safe and sound, can the Secretary and Superintendent take care of him?"

Li Mi hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes."

Seeing Li Mi's hesitation, Guo Ziyi knew that what she said was in vain.

However, Guo Ziyi also heard what Li Mi said today.

The Lingwu court cannot be chaotic, and the Tang Dynasty can no longer toss about.

Now Anlu Mountain has occupied the two capitals, and the emperor fled to Shuzhong.

The only one in this world who can fight against Anlu Mountain is Emperor Li Heng who organized Qin Wangjun in Lingwu.

Now that Li Heng has just gained a firm foothold, if there is trouble over the issue of heirs, then Datang will really be finished.

Although Guo Ziyi didn't like the crown prince, Li Mi's words also reminded Guo Ziyi that if Guo Ziyi still insisted on supporting King Jianning, it would be bad for both of them.

After Guo Ziyi left, Li Bi opened the alchemy furnace behind him.

Because the fire was turned off in advance, this furnace of precious medicine has turned into medicine dregs.

Li Mi looked at the medicine dregs in the stove, sighed and said, "I'm afraid this vow will shorten my life again."

Li Mijie developed the hairpin. He still had black hair when he was practicing Taoism in the mountains, but within two months after arriving in Lingwu, his hair was already covered with gray hair.

This trip to assist Li Heng took a lot of time and effort in planning, and Li Mi knew that his life was already at the end of his life.

Contaminating these causes and effects in the world of mortals is also a taboo for Taoism.

Li Mi sat on the futon, closed her eyes and read a poem:

"The sky overwhelms me, the earth carries me, does the heaven and the earth give birth to me?

Otherwise, the grains will rise to the sky, or Ming Ke will travel to the imperial capital. "

After reading a few sentences, Li Bi felt that there was no interest in poetry again. He looked at the extinguished alchemy furnace and sighed softly.

At this time, Li Yan, who was in Guazhou City, raised his head and looked towards the east.

He walked to the window and looked at the sun that was gradually setting. November of the first year of Zhide was finally coming to an end.

Li Yan also sighed, he finally passed the most difficult stage, and he will be able to summon new players next month!
