Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 139 Reproduce Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin's Will!

at the same time.

At this moment, the south gate of Chang'an City has been fully opened.

The comrades from the twelve cities in the south, the densely packed carriage team, although they looked tattered, their faces were dark and dusty, but the formation was not chaotic at all.

Under the leadership of the captains of the guards, enter Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone, all the carriages, started to enter the city in an orderly manner.

The local soldiers of Chang'an City guarding the gate of the city looked at the panicked and fearful faces, and at the moment they entered the city, they all showed new sunny smiles, and their hearts were touched.

Fleeing famine all the way to the north, I fled for more than half a month, struggling with hunger and cold all the time, and wild beasts often attacked me.

Every time the locusts attacked, the blackness covered the sky and completely blackened the sky, which made countless people tremble in their hearts, and they could only live in fear.

Every time the soldiers counterattacked, the arrows were shot numb, and the swords were swung to the point of weakness. After the battle, as far as the eye could see, it was full of sores.

The surrounding flowers, plants and trees died and withered under the fighting.

Although the locusts did not harm human life, the coercion they gave covered the sky into a shadow, making people unable to forget their fear.

The people fleeing in the south all felt that they would die in the next moment, like a constant death crisis. Under the cover, they had long been exhausted, overwhelmed and full of despair.

But at this moment, at the moment of arriving in Chang'an City!
Hope ignited again in their faces and eyes!
Chang'an City is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the people in the south will only choose to blindly believe in the soldiers of Chang'an. They believe that Chang'an City, with its outstanding people, will definitely be able to overcome such natural disasters!
At this moment, on the top wall of the city, the general of the first army who had escaped from the disaster also approached. Including the man before, a total of eleven people came to the wall.

There was an unconcealable fear in their eyes.

At this time, a barracks at the south gate of Chang'an City, the closest to the city gate, on the line of sea and sky, the sound of vast footsteps suddenly rose.

Even if it was hundreds of meters away, they could hear it clearly.

There, the figure gradually became clearer, and the voice became louder and louder. In the end, the local soldiers of Chang'an with resolute faces appeared in front of them one by one.

Looking at their faces, there is no wave in the ancient well.It was as if iron and blood forged an army, illuminating the hearts of the desperate generals little by little, so that they would not despair and began to have full confidence in Chang'an City.

Similarly, it also brings an unprecedented sense of pressure to everyone.

Closer, this army is getting closer.

Finally, under the field of vision and above the horizon, an extremely neat and disciplined army appeared in front of everyone.

The strictness of this army is not found in the major armies in the south, and it is an elite army that really only belongs to Chang'an City.

All the soldiers guarding the southern city wall tightly clenched their weapons. Looking into the distance, their pupils constricted, their breathing was difficult, and their mountain jump accelerated.

Some timid soldiers even had trembling legs and pale faces.

Many young people of this generation in Chang'an City have never been on the battlefield, and those who are responsible for guarding the city walls are even more recruits among the recruits.

At most, they followed hunting teams one after another, went out of the city, and hunted rabbits around Chang'an City.

When have you seen such a bloody scene?

Have you ever seen such an army full of murderous looks?

Even the generals of Chang'an City, Qin Shubao, Li Jing and others, were slightly shocked at this moment, and their hearts suddenly accelerated.

They haven't done anything for too long, and being pampered and pampered, their blood has gradually cooled down.

But what was different from them was that all the generals who had escaped took a step together and looked outside Chang'an City, the endless empty land, as if there was some great horror there.

Only after experiencing that kind of almost desperate battle can one understand their mood at this moment.

The locusts that can blacken the sky are coming, they can only fight!
That is the madness of not dying, dying, but also biting a locust! !
Under this kind of battle, death is kept out of the question. When you are afraid, it is better to worry about not being able to kill a few more locusts to reduce the pressure of food being ravaged.

"locust!!"

A southern general roared wildly, his eyes were bloodshot, he was almost mad, and he was filled with hatred.

He hates it so much!

His son, wife, and his descendants all fell in this silent war. Because there was no food left, they died on the road, and only he, Xun Yan, survived.

Even now, he still clearly remembers the look in his wife's eyes when she was dying.

Those eyes were full of despair!It is the despair of not wanting to die, but dying with unwillingness!

This kind of gaze tortured him night after night, almost bewildered him, wanting to commit suicide.

He was coaxing madly, beside him was a general from the south, Mingming, who was also full of hatred, and the terrifying killing intent almost melted into his soul, filling the air with mad killing intent.

…………

at the same time.

The five surnames are Qiwang, the Zheng family.

The city of Chang'an changed drastically, and thirteen horns were sounded. Maybe ordinary people didn't know what the real threat was.

However, it is impossible for the high-ranking officials of the five surnames and seven Wangs not to know! !
They had already passed the news back to the aristocratic family, and informed the Patriarch, letting them know that the threat to Chang'an City was only locusts, locusts that did not harm human life and only took food.

It's not some unnecessary Turks, Tuyuhun or something.

After hearing everything, the Patriarch of the Zheng family laughed lightly, "God help me, God help me too!"

The representative of the Lu family frowned and asked, "Patriarch Zheng, what do you mean by that? The locusts are coming, we can't be alone."

Zheng Xun, the Patriarch of the Zheng family, glanced at the speaker, and said calmly: "We really can't be alone, but we can use the prestige of the locusts to make Your Majesty hand over Qin Wenyuan!"

Speaking of this, everyone present was shocked.

Zheng Xun didn't whet his appetite either, and looked at his bodyguard, "Ah Fu, let's talk to you adults."

"understand!"

Ah Fu bowed his hands and nodded, then walked out from his original position, came to Taichung, and met everyone's eyes, neither humble nor overbearing, said lightly: "Everyone, after investigation by our Zheng family, the food left in Chang'an City is enough to support Chang'an The city runs for about half a month."

"But...a few days ago, Yu Chigong took away a large amount of food, and today, His Majesty ordered General Li Jing to treat the southern refugees favorably."

"With such consumption of food, there is only less than half a day left."

"In other words, within today, if we don't help, there will be a food crisis in Chang'an City!"

After the words fell, everyone completely understood.

It turned out that Zheng Xun meant to take advantage of this general trend to make Li Shimin bow his head.

There is no food today, and when people are in panic, who can have the blood to deal with tomorrow's locust catastrophe?

All the Patriarchs thought about it, and sure enough, everything is just like what Zheng Xun said, God helped me! !
The representative of the Lu family laughed, "It seems that if His Majesty is united in dealing with the locust plague, he must hand over Qin Wenyuan."

"However, we can't sit still and wait for news."

"We also have to make some moves to speed up the time for His Majesty to compromise with us."

Zheng Xun frowned, "How to do this?"

The representative of the Lu family smiled, but he didn't answer immediately, but took the tea and drank it, which really whetted his appetite to the extreme.

The next moment, he opened his mouth and said: "First, spread rumors to let the people in Chang'an City and the people in the south know that there is actually no food in the city, only our aristocratic family has it."

"Secondly, spread the notice to let the common people know that as long as they go to the Qin Mansion and attack the demon doctor Qin Wenyuan, they will have food to eat."

After the words fell, everyone thought for a while and agreed to the proposal.

In the midst of a catastrophe, they even unanimously suggested that Qin Wenyuan must be dealt with first!

In the eyes of the aristocratic family, locusts are indeed fatal to food, but it is the lives of ordinary people.

But Qin Wenyuan wants to kill the children of their family again!
They can't tolerate a person who is hostile to the family and can gain the respect of the whole world.

If there is such a day, it will definitely be a devastating blow to their family.

The most important influence of the family was taken away by one person, this is something they absolutely cannot tolerate.

And Qin Wenyuan, who is hostile to the family, has this potential, so they want to kill Qin Wenyuan!

…………

Two hours later, the palace.

"boom!!"

The good teacup was smashed to the ground, but none of the eunuchs kneeling underneath dared to look directly at the figure above.

They stood and knelt on the ground, staring at the ground, not daring to look up.

Because, it is the emperor of one dynasty, Li Shimin, who is angry now!
"These aristocratic families are really deceiving people too much."

"The disaster is imminent, and you still want to protect the food!"

Li Shimin was furious, he really wanted to pull out all these aristocratic families.

These people are really the cancer of Chang'an City!
Seeing this, Wei Zheng took a step forward, cupped his hands and sighed, "Your Majesty, how should we resolve this situation?"

"After all, Chang'an City is now full of notices that there is no food in the treasury. Some of the people are already very panicked. If they don't want to come up with a solution, we will be completely confused before the locusts come."

Hearing this, Li Shimin kept taking deep breaths and exhaling them again, it was true that he was extremely out of breath.

These aristocratic families will release food as long as Qin Wenyuan dies.

As the king of a country, he couldn't understand why as long as Qin Wenyuan died.

Because, Qin Wenyuan was able to bring the era of aristocratic families to an end!
Whether it is Quyuanli or the strategy of governing the country, once it develops, it will definitely make the family's influence weaker and weaker.

Therefore, because Qin Wenyuan is so powerful, it is even more impossible for him to hand over his son-in-law Qin Wenyuan.

but……

If it is not handed over, Chang'an City, which has stood firm for several years, will become chaotic due to panic.

For a while, Li Shimin couldn't choose a choice.

At this moment, even Wei Zheng, who had always been speaking for Qin Wenyuan, began to prefer to hand over Qin Wenyuan in his heart.

Qin Wenyuan is certainly powerful, but Chang'an City is the capital of the country, and it gathers the attention of all people in the world, so don't mess it up!
Once there is chaos, some rebellious officials and thieves will make trouble, and they may directly rebel and raise troops. Keeping Qin Wenyuan is tantamount to pushing the five surnames and seven Wangs to the opposition of the royal family.

When rebellion occurs, they abandon the royal family of Li and Tang and choose to support the rebellious officials and thieves, which will definitely happen.

It's a must!
Because Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty fell like this.

The impact of this matter is really too bad.

Li Shimin is also clear about the stakes of the matter. If he doesn't handle it well, his throne will be in jeopardy.

After a while, he let out a heavy breath, "Zhen, I still choose not to hand over to Qin Wenyuan."

"Your Majesty, this..." Wei Zheng was a little stunned.

Li Shimin smiled helplessly, "I have been the emperor for so long, I have learned the art of checks and balances, and I have also learned to handle major national affairs, but I have never been a qualified father."

"Today, let's treat it as my self-willedness, that girl Lizhi, I really owe her too much, this time, let's treat it as the last time I help her."

Having said this, Li Shimin's soft eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said deeply: "Wei Zheng!"

Wei Zheng didn't dare to trust him, so he took a step forward, "The subordinate is here!"

Li Shimin said earnestly: "Chang'an City announced that we cannot control it, and the common people also know that Chang'an City has no surplus food, so it is guaranteed that they will attack the Qin government."

"You go to the Qin Mansion quickly, tell Qin Wenyuan, and ask him to lead Lizhi away immediately, leave Chang'an City, and leave this... place of right and wrong."

"After you left, I decided to summon Shu Bao and others to wipe out the five surnames and seven Wangs one by one!"

"From now on, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to take a good look at Lizhi, let Qin Wenyuan treat Lizhi well, and don't let her down."

Li Shimin's sinister eyes flashed, the Xuanwumen incident in the past has become fierce, and he is going to start it again for his daughter!

Since the chaos in Chang'an City is inevitable, he doesn't mind adding more chaos to completely eradicate the five surnames and Qiwang who are everywhere.

Then seize the food, just like pushing the seedlings to encourage growth, first solve the current crisis.

After saying this, Wei Zheng hesitated, not daring to speak up.

Li Shimin's move completely pushed the five surnames and seven hopes to the opposite of him.

When the plague of locusts is over, he will run out of time.

Because there is no way to solve the locust disaster, even if Li Shimin solves the five surnames and Qiwang and wins food, the food in Chang'an City is not enough, and 10 people will starve to death, which will make Li Shimin feel lost.

At that time, he, who lost the popular support, not only had to deal with the counterattack of the children of other families with five surnames and seven Wangs, but also had to deal with the possible rebellious officials and thieves that might appear soon.

Datang will eventually be caught in the flames of war again.

He... really has no time to see his daughter Li Lizhi!

Because at that time, he will put on the battle robe that has been dusty for a long time, and fight the world again!

Only this time, he is protecting his own world!
"Wei Zheng, will you obey?" Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng with eagle-like eyes.

Looking at this look, Wei Zheng suddenly understood Li Shimin's determination.

He has served Li Shimin for many years, and he already knows Li Shimin's habits and personality well.

This look means that the order cannot be changed!
"Sir, I understand."

Wei Zheng cupped his hands and bowed.

This bow took an incomparably long time, as if sending off the last emperor.

After bowing, he didn't dare to look at Li Shimin, he turned around and left without looking back.

At this moment, facing the food disaster in Chang'an City, Li Shimin may not be a qualified emperor, but he is definitely a qualified father.
