Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 850 Questioning the crime!Enter the palace!
Seeing this situation, Zhe Congruan knew that if he couldn't establish his prestige today, let alone control the Zhe family, even if he wanted to gain a foothold in the Zhe family in the future, he would not be able to.

This fellow Yu Shuai held the imperial decree in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Now a certain family is in charge of Zhejun under the emperor's order. I think my Zhejia has always been loyal. Is it possible that you want to resist the order today? This will lead to the court's harsher punishment on Zhejia. At that time, where will Zhejia go? Have you ever thought about it?" , the father commander is now being punished by the emperor to make him think behind closed doors. This is an expedient measure for the court to balance the forces of all parties. The assassination of the king of Qi has already brought eighteen warriors from the Luo family to death. It is the emperor's relatives who have not escaped punishment and have been demoted to common people. In this assassination, the imperial court regarded the Zhe family as a great favor from the emperor. Yu's father and brother only took away their positions and did not hurt their lives. With this appearance, the Zhe family is not far from being destroyed!"

Before Zhe Congruan came back to "Fuzhou", he had already calculated all the situations in which Zhe family members learned of the emperor's will and thought up all kinds of arguments. To give up is to break up with the Zhe family even if there is an unhappiness, he must pass this test today, otherwise, Prince Qi who stands behind will definitely change his mind about taking over his position because of his own incompetence, making the Zhe family in the middle of nowhere. It will be difficult in the days to come, and he will be gradually expelled from the family of the Tang Dynasty. Even if he finds a corner to linger on, it may be difficult.

Hearing what his son said, Zhechong thought that if his family dared to resist the order, what awaited him would definitely be the disaster of destroying the family. This old ghost finally did it for himself, for the sake of the kindness of all friends, and put the Zhe family into such a difficult and dangerous situation. regret.

Couldn't help but sighed a long time, and said to Zhejia all helpless.

"Now the Zhe family is taken over by the second son. The old man should follow the emperor's orders. You can help my son obey the orders, otherwise, the military law will be ruthless."

All the generals bowed their hands and saluted after being ordered by the master of Zhejia.

"I will follow the command of the commander-in-chief, and serve the Second Young Master as the master!"

……

Outside the city tower of "Fuzhou", Zhe Lixing and thousands of Zhe army soldiers had not been able to enter the city for a long time, and no one was there to greet them. Seeing that their hometown was in sight but they could not go back, they made a fuss for a while, expressing their dissatisfaction.

Zhe Lixing impatiently asked the guards at the city gate, what happened in the city that delayed Xu Jun's negotiation on the return of prisoners of war, and the guards had to answer.

"Report to the general; there is an imperial envoy in the city to announce the decree today, please be patient and wait for the general to be safe."

Hearing the words of the general guarding the city gate, he had no choice but to break up and stand up. He called Wu Ping, the chief general of the Qin army, and said.

"General Wu, let's rest. When the lord of a certain family receives the imperial envoy, he will definitely explain to the general later."

Wu Ping knew about the imperial court's announcement of the decree in the Zhe family. From Qin Wenyuan's military order, he could already predict that the Zhe family might rebel against the decree today. Otherwise, the prince would not let him escort the Zhe family's prisoners here. In the name of returning the captives, in fact, the soldiers of the Qin army came to the city to cheer for Zhe Congruan.

"No problem! I'll just wait."

The two were talking under the tower, and a large number of unarmed Zhejun were slouching around or standing or squatting, while the fully armed Xu Jun cavalry formed several formations, reining in their horses and standing in a stone's throw outside the city. His military power made the Zhejia defenders on the tower of "Fuzhou" not dare to underestimate them.

Zhe Cong Ruan finally led a dozen generals of the Zhe army out of the city to meet the repatriated defeated army. This fellow led the crowd to greet Wu Ping first, and then ordered Zhe Lixing to lead the army into the city to rectify and rest.

Zhe Lixing was surprised to see that Master Zhe Er was the powerful commander of Xing. When Master Zhe Er was negotiating with Wu Ping, he asked about the general of the Zhe family who accompanied him out of the city. He knew that Master Zhe Er was now the new leader of the Zhe family army. .

Hearing about the changes in the Zhe family, Zhe Lixing pondered for a while and knew how big a mistake the commander made in harassing Xu Jun this time. The assassination of the king of Qi by the eldest son put the Zhe family in a dangerous situation. Here, the purpose is memorable, I am afraid it is not as simple as returning the captives.

This old ghost is worthy of being a brave and resourceful man in the army. He squinted his eyes and squinted at the expression of Zhe Ergongzi talking with Wu Ping, and realized his conjecture that the second son had already agreed to some kind of request from Xu Jun. No wonder Qin Jun was so magnanimous. It actually released and returned thousands of sergeants without any loss.

"Zhejia's future prospects are worrisome, it's difficult!"

The fellow sighed inwardly, unexpectedly led thousands of troops into the city gate without warning.

Wu Ping heard that Zhe Cong Ruan had successfully taken over Zhe's family, and conveyed Xu Tian's instructions to this guy to send his son to study in the "Guozijian" in the capital as soon as possible.

Refusing Cong Ruan's invitation to a banquet in the city, Wu Ping returned with his army.

Looking at the cavalry of the Qin army galloping away in the field, many generals of the Zhe family sighed.

"Is this the cavalry of the Qin army that shocked the Northeast? The military capacity and equipment are so strong that only the elite Zhe family can deal with it. However, the elite troops of the Zhe family cannot compare with the Qin army! It is no wonder that the Xu family has so much financial resources. To be able to control the military and political power in Qizhou and Northeast China, two princes came out of one family."

Zhecong Ruan led the people back to the yamen, and then discussed with the people how the Zhe family should rule and strengthen the people and army.

Zhe Chong learned from many generals of the Zhe family that the Qin army's [-] cavalry soldiers were approaching the city, and saw the news that his son had just withdrawn. Blood flowed like a river...

This guy felt terrified, thinking that against such a powerful enemy, he dared to take the lives of his family members as a trifling matter, fortunately King Qi was safe and sound, luckily!Otherwise, the Zhejia Manchu may not escape the end of being buried with them.

After Zhecong Ruan Shunli took over the Zhe family, he vigorously rectified the generals in the army, so that those who are willing to serve under his command are in charge of the real power.

Zhe Zong, the eldest of the Zhe family, was naturally dissatisfied, and often told his father what was wrong with his second brother.

Zhe Chong looks at his eldest son who has lost all his martial arts skills, and intends to let him lead an army, but feels helpless because of his son Ying's weak body.

Since then, the father and son of the Zhe family have disagreed, and the brothers have fought against the wall, which often makes the military and political affairs difficult.

Zhe Cong Ruan sent his son Zhe Dejian to study in the "Guozijian" in Chang'an City, and asked Xu Tian to take care of him. This guy was originally grieved because his beloved son was controlled by the court in Chang'an. It can be seen that his father and brother did not take the overall situation of the Zhe family as the top priority, and they still It was because of the constant internal friction that he was so angry that he made the Zhejia army exchange blood to replenish his confidantes.

This matter was greatly helped by Qin Wenyuan, so that the Zhe family members living in the northeast could enrich the Zhe family army, and Zhe Cong Ruan selected people who studied literature and martial arts to replace the Zhe family's many generals who only obeyed the orders of their father and brother. Take control in your own hands.

Qin Wenyuan did good deeds to the end, played the book in the court, and counted the crimes of Zhechong and Zongben, so that the emperor Li Shimin ordered Zhe Congruan to be the governor of "Fuzhou", the general of Hedong, and restrain the Zhejia army and the generals in the territory of "Fuzhou". The soldiers of the Tang government completely drove Zhe Chong and Zhe Zongben out of the Zhe family's power center.

There is a saying: "The tree falls and the monkeys scatter!"

After Zhe Chong was dismissed from his military post and title, a large number of Zhejun generals who were loyal to him all turned to Zhejun to follow Ruan's command. Loyalty makes Qin Wenyuan more powerful than the situation under the rule of the Northeast.

So far, the incident of assassinating King Qin Wenyuan of Qi by martial arts in the martial arts school of the Tang Dynasty was completely over. Many ministers of the court were really admired by Qin Wenyuan's method of playing this matter in the palm of their hands. The demeanor of knowing and employing people already has the demeanor of a great sage.

Qin Wenyuan couldn't control how others talked about him, and he still taught in the Prince's East Palace as usual. He often talked with Yang Jixing, who was the crown prince's East Palace Zhan Shi, the champion of the new department, on state governance, which benefited Prince Li Zhi a lot.

Even in this peaceful life, there are fast horses galloping in Chang'an City, but they are envoys under the command of Ashina Simo, the Turkic Libi Khan newly granted by the Tang Dynasty, and they rushed to the court with several memorials.

But it turned out that the Zhenzhu Khan of the Xue Yantuo tribe sent his son Dadu to set up a coalition to rule the Tongluo, Pugu, Huihe, Mohe, Yu and other tribes with an army of 20 troops to invade the Turkic tribes in the south.

Turkic Khan Ashina Simo led the Turkic army to resist.

The two armies fought several times, but the Turkic tribe could not resist the attack of the 20 coalition forces of Xue Yantuo's tribe.

The Turkic army defeated Xue Yantuo's army. In desperation, the Turkic Khan led a large number of tribal people into the Great Wall, made the army retreat to "Shuozhou" and sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty for help.

……

The cause of this matter is also said to be caused by the emperor Li Shimin.

As early as the fifth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin sent Li Jing, a general of the Tang army, to lead his army to launch a counterattack against the Eastern Turks. Xue Yantuo, part of which was submitted to Qin Wenyuan's command, is still forming a new Turkic tribe outside the city of "Songmo".

Xue Yantuo's tribe won a large number of Turkic people, and its population increased greatly, making it the largest grassland force in the north of the Tang Dynasty and surrendered to the Tang court.

How did Li Shimin see Xue Yantuo's power, so he obtained the consent of Xue Yantuo's great khan, Yinan, and ordered that Yinan's sons, Bozhuo and Jielibi, be made little khans. On the surface, it was the court's respect for the tribes led by Yinan. However, in fact, they want to increase the disputes between the Xue Yantuo tribe for their own interests due to the dispersion of power, so that they can disintegrate Xue Yantuo's strength from within.

These tricks will be seen through after a long time, which makes Xue Yantuo's department already have distrust of Datang.

In the 14th year of Zhenguan, after the end of the war between Datang and Gaochang, Li Shimin's strategy against grassland forces led to the deterioration of the relationship between Datang and Xue Yantuo. The Turkic people who belonged to any force were forcibly placed within the borders of the Tang Dynasty, but the imperial court did not set up yamen to strengthen management and let them be lax until the plot of Ashina's association to assassinate the emperor was revealed. Ashina Simo, an Eastern Turkic aristocrat of the Tang Dynasty, was the new Eastern Turkic Khan. He led his tribe to settle in Monan, making it a buffer zone between the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo's tribe.

Although Yi Nan Khan was very worried about Datang's decision, he could reluctantly accept it in desperation, but it caused constant turmoil in this area, and there was no day of peace.

With the support of Tang Dynasty, Ashina Simo finally built the tribal king's tent in the "Dingxiang" city on the back of the Great Wall.

The Yinan Khan of Xue Yantuo's tribe was very dissatisfied with this matter, and sent envoys to contact the Qin army stationed in "Songmo" and "Raole" many times, trying to drive the two armies away from this Turkic area.

However, due to the development situation in the Northeast and the time of the "Korea" war, Qin Wenyuan had time to take care of such trivial matters, but for Princess Minmin's sake, he sent the army to warn the Turkic Khan Ashina Simo , not to continue to expand the territory and infringe on the interests of Xue Yantuo's tribe, and advise them to live in harmony, so that the situation in the grassland that was originally tense with swords can be temporarily peaceful, and it has remained the same until now.

After the scientific research in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin wanted to go to "Taishan" to enshrine Zen on a whim. Not long after the matter was discussed and decided at the court meeting, Yi Nan Khan got the news but had other ideas. , thinking that Li Shimin wanted to use the tour "Taishan" as an excuse to make the Tang army unite with the Turkic tribes, which would be detrimental to Xue Yantuo's tribe.

Zhenzhu Khan is a lord of the grasslands. He knows the truth that it is better to strike first, and then to be repelled, so he ordered his son Dadu to lead an army to launch an offensive against the new Eastern Turkic tribes under Ashina Simo. Before the main force of the Tang army merged with the Turkic tribes, it destroyed the forces under Ashina Simo's command, so that Xue Yantuo's tribe could reduce the threat from the Turkic people.

Li Shimin received the report of Ashina Simo's memorial and felt that the situation was serious, so the Tai Chi Hall called a group of ministers to discuss countermeasures.

Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, said.

"Your Majesty, the son of Zhenzhu Khan's Yinan envoy Dadu set up an army of 20 troops from the Tongluo, Pugu, Huihe, Mohe, and Yu tribes to attack the Turkic tribes under the command of Ashina Simo. His intention was to mobilize the main force of the Tang army with the imperial court. It is related to the fact that the escort saint went to Mount Tai to confer Zen. This is because Zhenzhu Khan of Xue Yantuo was afraid that the Tang army would join the Turkic army and take advantage of the situation to invade its territory. In view of the fact that the coalition forces included Tongluo, Bugu, Huihe, Mohe, and other tribes and King Qi Under the rule of the Northeast and other ethnic minorities, there are many connections. With the prestige of King Qi among these tribes, if the Yinan Khan wants to retreat, the minister recommends Prince Shaoshi and Qi Wang Qin Wenyuan to lead the army to quell the chaos. It should be a quick battle. "

After Li Jing finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin went out of the main hall to report.

"Your Majesty, Qin Shiji, the British Duke, has returned to Beijing now, why not let him lead the army to pay off his merits!"

"Xuan Qin Shiji enters the palace!"

When Li Shimin heard that Qin Shiji had returned to Beijing, he was pleasantly surprised that he had already let go of Qin Shiji's seal and left without saying goodbye. He thought that there are not many veterans who followed him, dead and old, and now there are not many left. In the eyes, I am eager to see it.

When the eunuch preached an edict outside the hall to summon Qin Shiji, another minister came out to report in the hall, but it was Zhang Gongjin, the commander of the imperial army.

But I heard what this guy said.

"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate for King Qi to lead the army. It is well known that King Qi's side concubine has Xue Yantuo's family, the princess of the Wei family. If King Qi leads the army to quell the chaos, the Turkic tribe may think that the court is partial to Xue Yantuo's tribe, making the situation more complicated. In my humble opinion, it is better to make Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, the leader of the army, and lead the army to appease and intimidate the Xue Yantuo and Turkic tribes, so that they can retreat and live in peace."
