Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 889 March!rebuke!
"The emperor and the imperial court must not agree to the harsh conditions proposed by Xu Tian. Chai Rong led the army in Bingzhou to commit misconduct, and he has committed the crime of treason. In view of the current situation, the emperor might as well order all the soldiers and horses in the world to discuss the garrison at Niangziguan, and I want to see how Qin Wenyuan will deal with it, and whether he dares to lead the army to rebel against the court."

Yang Jixing, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, heard Xu Jingzong's report, and hurriedly opened his mouth, fearing that Li Zhi's head would get hot, and he ordered to make the situation worse.

"Your majesty can't believe the words of Master Xu, thinking that Fang Yiai, Chai Lingwu, Xue Wanche, Li Yuanjing, etc. have not yet completely settled their treasonous crimes. If the news leaks, Fang Yiai and others will fight back to Beijing. The army crusade against Niangziguan, if it attracted Qin Wenyuan to make Niangziguan rebels join Fang Yiai and other rebels, and send the Qin army in Northeast and Qizhou to help, wouldn't it cause chaos in the world? Now the situation, I think the emperor should choose Its priority is to agree to the conditions proposed by Qin Wenyuan, first remove the threat posed by the Niangziguan rebels and the Qin army, so that the court will have enough energy to solve the rebellion of Princess Gaoyang. After the matter is properly resolved, the court will then arrest Chai Rong It's not too late to ask the guilt."

Yang Jixing's remark was a wise move to avoid the court's simultaneous response to the rebellious military situation in the two places, and it was supported by many ministers in the court.

Hearing what the two confidant ministers said, Li Zhi was thinking about how to choose, when the Qianniu Guard sent to the "Qi Prince's Mansion" to arrest Qin Wenyuan's family members outside the palace, asked the imperial guards on duty to inform the emperor about the arrest of Qin Wenyuan's family members.

When the letter soldiers were allowed to enter the palace and reported to the "Prince Qi's Mansion" that Qin Wenyuan's family resisted the arrest, another letter soldier urgently reported that Wang Fangyi lost to Qin Xiaole and was seriously injured.

The successive news that displeased Li Zhi also aroused the clamor of the military generals in the hall who are now trusted by the imperial court.

Liu Rengui, who served as the leading general of the two dynasties of the imperial court, reported loudly under the golden throne with an angry face.

"Your Majesty, Qin Wenyuan's child has been rebellious since he entered the court. He has resisted the imperial court's heavenly army many times. His heart can be punished. I have requested an order to arrest Qin Wenyuan's family members in the Qi Palace. Let's see how capable the Xu family is. The old minister put it right."

"Old man Liu, stop talking nonsense. Since ancient times, wives and children have never been as bad as a disaster. Based on your monster words, this old man will swear to you never to give up."

Qin Shiji strode forward in front of Liu Rengui, with a look of disdain on his face, he pointed at this guy and shouted angrily...

Qin Shiji in the Taiji Hall suddenly attacked Liu Rengui, causing the emperor Li Zhi to slap the table angrily, and angrily reprimanded Xu Shiji.

"Qin Shiji shut up! You dared to be so presumptuous before me, did you think I was easy to deceive?"

The importance of these words made Qin Shiji quickly kneel down and speak.

"The emperor forgives the crime. The minister is not disrespectful to the emperor, but he disdains what the old man Liu Rengui said. If Qin Wenyuan is guilty, what does it have to do with his wife and children? Is it possible that the court must arouse Qin Wenyuan's anger and make the monarch and his ministers at odds? ?”

Hearing this, Li Zhi said angrily again.

"It was my will to capture Qin Wenyuan's family members. Qin Xiaole resisted the order and injured the court ministers. He has already committed a serious crime. Why should Old General Liu share my worries for me? Could it be that you also have the heart of rebellion!"

"Your loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon. What the emperor said, I don't want to argue. If I offend the emperor's prestige today, I will do whatever I want."

Although Qin Shiji has a heart of foolish loyalty, he also has a bottom line in his heart. If you think your royal family has the ability, you will ask Qin Wenyuan to question him. Capturing a wife and children is not a manly act. Moreover, Qin Wenyuan's heirs are the foundation of the old Qin family. Unfavorable, how could it be possible to ignore it and let the old man go underground to meet the ancestors of the Qin family in the future.

After Li Jing's resignation, although Li Zhi scolded Qin Shiji, the pillar of the Tang army and the hero respected by "Lingyan Pavilion", he still had to weigh Qin Shiji's influence in the Tang army. Dissatisfied with the court's words of arresting the family members of the Qin family, Li Zhi now knew that the decision he made in a fit of anger was indeed inappropriate.

"Qin Shiji got up to talk, and you tell me how to deal with this situation."

Qin Shiji got up, cupped his hands and said.

"I think that under the current situation, the emperor can send an order to withdraw the soldiers of Qin Wenyuan's family, so that the conflict will not intensify, and then send an order to Niangziguan to order Qin Wenyuan and Chai Rong to return to Beijing to be held accountable. The conditions proposed by Qin Wenyuan in General Cheng's memorial, the emperor may as well Temporarily agree to punish Chai Rong as a commoner and disband the Niangziguan garrison, etc. In fact, for Chai Rong, such punishment is already the biggest blow, why bother to kill them all and carry out the tyranny of the nine clans."

Yang Jixing, Minister of the Household Department, heard that Xu Shiji's words coincided with his own views, and then made a statement.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Qin said, I think it is feasible, and I hope that the Emperor will implement it."

Liu Rengui was very upset after being contradicted and reprimanded by Qin Shiji in court, and now he is attacking again.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court is too afraid of Qin Wenyuan. Thinking about the former Sui Dynasty, Qin Changqing just took advantage of it. Taking advantage of the late emperor's lack of time to go east, he took advantage of Licheng and gradually segregated Qizhou. Although the Qin family used the banner of supporting Tang, But relying on military strength to develop his own strength, he was obedient to the imperial court, and he thought that the imperial court regarded the Qin family's power as unshakable, but in his eyes, he was nothing more than an ant. If the emperor's envoys led an army of one hundred thousand to threaten Qizhou, then Send an army to Youzhou to assist Master Wei, so that the Qin army in the Northeast will not dare to move rashly, and then they can attack each one to completely eliminate the threat of the Qin family to the court."

This guy is not ashamed of his words, if Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin and other veterans are in the hall at this time, they will definitely scold Liu Rengui bloody, but this guy's words at this time are Li Zhi's "Xianqing" year Gao Kan, Cheng Wuting, Lou Shide, Qibi Heli and other generals who served as military officers in the imperial court agreed with Liu Rengui, who was seconded in the hall, and they attacked Qin Wenyuan in groups.

Li Zhi was a little shaken in his heart. Why didn't he want to completely suppress the power of the Qin family? The emperor's young son sat on the dragon couch and meditated on what Liu Rengui and other generals said. After all, it was because of the case of Princess Gaoyang's treason and the yet-to-be-arrested Fang Yiai, Chai Lingwu, Xue Wanche and Zhibisili did not dare to act rashly. He didn't want to have a wave of ups and downs. Regarding Liu Rengui's wild words, based on his understanding of Xu Tian, ​​how could he dare to trust Liu Rengui easily? Has the ability to suppress the Xu family.

"Don't speak wildly about the Qin family. Although Qin Wenyuan behaved pervertedly and did not follow the rules, he was loyal to the imperial court. Today's palace talk about the Qin family's matter ends here, don't spread it outside the palace."

Li Zhi figured it out because he wanted to be unfavorable to the Qin family. Today is not the right time. Not only can he not put pressure on Qin Wenyuan now, but he has to use soft tactics. Qin Jiajiao's army has a chance to win.

Emperor Xinruyuan is not as simple as it is said. As Li Zhi has been on the throne longer, his overall control over the empire's military and politics has become more and more mature.

Considering the gains and losses and the current situation, Li Zhi finally held back his hatred for Qin Wenyuan's meddling in Chai Rong's affairs, and decided to accept Yang Jixing's proposal of a temporary compromise, leaning over on the dragon bed and opening his mouth.

"Qin Shiji went to Qi Wangfu to bring back the Qianniuwei soldiers, and ordered Qin Xiaole to come to the palace to meet me."

"Academic scholars went to the former Tang Army Barracks at Niangziguan to deliver an order, telling Cheng Yaojin to agree to Qin Wenyuan's terms of peace talks, so that Qin Wenyuan would bring Chai Rong to Beijing and do a good job in handing over the guards of Niangziguan. I will protect Chai Rong's life without any worries. Soldiers return to their hometowns and no longer gather crowds to make trouble."

"The Ministry of War has drawn up candidates for the new general of the Niangziguan garrison, so that he will lead the army to hand over to Chai Rong."

Li Zhi made three oral orders one after another, and the relevant ministers in the palace obeyed the orders. Liu Rengui and other generals in the palace felt very humiliated under Li Zhi's oral orders. When Qin Shiji quit the hall, he actually followed behind him, and when he was able to get out of the Taiji Hall, he said loudly.

"Lord Qin, everyone says that Prince Qi is mighty, but this general doesn't believe it. If this general wants to challenge King Qi to compete in martial arts, I wonder if you can tell me the truth."

Qin Shiji said with disdain in his eyes, sarcastically.

"You don't have the qualifications to challenge King Qi. Of course, if the general wants to seek death, I won't stop him. The general can go find King Qi by himself."

"Does Master Qin look down on this general?"

"It's not that I look down on you, but that I don't take you seriously at all."

Qibi Heli was so angry that he yelled "Wow", but he didn't dare to get rough with Qin Shiji in the palace, suppressed the anger in his heart, and glared at Qin Shiji's back as he slowly walked out of the palace.

……

In Niangzi Guan Chai Rongjun, Qin Wenyuan could not help but sneer when he received the letter from Lu Yueer who sent someone to the court to arrest his family members and Chen Laosan's report that there were rebellious emperors in Chang'an City.

"You don't know how to live or die! My lord, let's see what you can do?"

I don't know who Xu Tian is scolding, Chai Rong heard it from the side, and after asking his uncle why, he couldn't help kneeling and said.

"Uncle, it's better to lead the army into Chang'an and destroy Li Zhi's son. Wouldn't it be better for uncle to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor?"

"Hehe! You dare to think, if you have such an intention for my uncle, then there is the matter of Li Zhi sitting on the throne today. Don't mention it again. You should remember that there are only people with a thousand years in the world. There is absolutely no one like that." What we have to do is to ensure that the family is not bullied by others, so that it has a place to pass on from generation to generation.”

Chai Rong understood what his uncle meant, but he said again with worry.

"My nephew remembers what my uncle said. Now my nephew's uncle is on his way to Chang'an. If he is arrested, what will happen to my nephew?"

"You send your confidant soldiers to stop Chai Lingwu outside Chang'an City, and tell him in secret that he must not go to Chang'an City to throw himself into a trap. After he meets you, my uncle will arrange for him to go to sea at that time. Wouldn't it be more important to be a rich man than to be an official? good."

According to his uncle's words, Chai Rong wrote a letter in his own hand, summoned several confidantes under the account, and told them to stop him at a place outside Chang'an where Chai Lingwu must pass, and present the letter.

After a few confidant soldiers quickly left from the other side of the Niangzi Pass to avoid the soldiers of the Tang army led by Cheng Yaojin, they felt a little more at ease...

There is a saying: "If the King of Hades wants to kill you, even if he has all kinds of tricks, he will not be able to avoid it."

Fang Yiai, Chai Lingwu, Xue Wanche, Zhi Shili and others received the emperor's edict to go to Beijing, and because there was no news of Chang'an city warning, they did not suspect that there was it. Take this opportunity to go to the capital to have a secret meeting with Princess Gaoyang and other party members to complete the matter of usurping the throne and treason.

Several soldiers sent by Chai Rong to stop Chai Lingwu were dozens of miles away from the heart of Chang'an City, but they failed in the end, but it turned out that Chai Lingwu, Fang Yiai, Xue Wanche, Zhi Shili and others were picked up along the way shortly after leaving their fief. The officials and soldiers of the Yamen who came to the secret order of the imperial court were arrested separately.

When several sergeants met Chai Lingwu outside Chang'an City, they saw the scene of four of them being imprisoned in a prison car, and they wanted to rescue each other. Arrange for the master detectives who lead the four into the dungeon.

When Princess Gaoyang and all her followers who wanted to usurp the throne and treason were arrested, in Niangziguan army, Chai Rong had already ordered the veteran Li Zekun to lead [-] elite troops to protect the entire army's family members, old and weak soldiers, etc., and began to go to Rao Le direction entered Xu Tian's base camp "Dragon City" in the northeast.

Seeing that Chai Rong's army had changed, the lady shut down Xue Rengui, and wanted to get soldiers to stop him, but Cheng Yaojin's military order was obtained.

"General Xue, don't act rashly. This is the behavior of the garrison in Niangzi Guanzhong to withdraw their family members before the pass guards hand over."

Xue Rengui got the order to order the vanguard to get out of the way out of the formation. This guy still didn't give up, and sent dozens of scouts to follow Li Zekun's troops, wanting to know where he was going. The pity for these dozens of scouts along the way They were all beheaded and made headless ghosts.

As for the rest of Chai Rong's army in Niangziguan, after Li Zekun led the army to take action, they all had to be ordered to disperse and quietly leave the pass to hide in the Xu family's elite cavalry army led by Lu Qingling, hiding more than ten miles outside Niangziguan. The army has increased by tens of thousands.

At that time, Niangziguan had become an empty pass without garrisons, except for hundreds of Chai Rong's troops who pretended to be ordinary soldiers on duty on the pass tower.

When the new imperial army appointed by the Ministry of War to take over the defense of Niangziguan arrived, Gao Kan, the new garrison general at Niangziguan, saw Cheng Yaojin, Xue Rengui and other generals, all of whom sent orders to the front of the pass to envoy Chai Rong to switch and hand over.

After Chai Rong heard the order, hundreds of sergeants on duty on the pass were dressed in full body clothes, and Qin Wenyuan accompanied the sergeant team in Taoist robes.

Gao Kan, the new commander of the Niangziguan garrison, was so arrogant, pointing at Chai Rong in a show of force.

"You traitor, why don't you kneel down and pay respects to this general!"

Chai Rong replied angrily when he heard the words on his horseback.

"Since you are just an unknown person who got a military position by flattering you, what qualifications do you have for the young master to see you? Get out of here as soon as possible so as not to anger the young master, otherwise, the young master will cut off your dog's head."

Xue Rengui heard that Chai Rong still dared to be so arrogant under the current situation, so he couldn't help reprimanding him.

"Presumptuous! You are just a grassroots person now, and you dare to insult the imperial court officials. Could it be that Xue Mou dare not do anything to you."

Cheng Yaojin heard Xue Rengui reprimanding Chai Rong, and couldn't help but whisper.

"It's going to be bad!"

Sure enough, the voice of ridicule came from the ranks of the wife Guan Chairong's pro-army.
