Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1121

July fifteenth.

On this day, Ling Jing got up very early, and it was difficult to fall asleep last night. There were too many things in his mind. When he was half asleep and half awake, all kinds of weird thoughts appeared and disappeared in his mind quickly.

Washing and eating, although Ling Jing has been restless, he has always remained calm. He thought in his heart that in the first half of his life, he had the freedom to travel around the world, and he had the chicness of singing poems and wine, but he also had times of being down and out.
It wasn't until over half a century and the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty that he, who had always been ambitious, was able to stand out. It's a pity that although King Xia has the appearance of a hero, he doesn't have the heart to accommodate all rivers, and he loses his soul after losing the final battle.

After that, Ling Jing, who had lost hope, only wanted to spend the rest of his life safely, but who would have imagined that various changes would follow one after another. After just a few years, he had become a member of the Tang Dynasty's official department, Wai Lang, and soon It is possible to become a prime minister in the future... and all these changes started in that small village five years ago.

While thinking about his own thoughts, Ling Jing observed carefully. This temporary palace of Shang Shu Sheng and Six Departments was located a hundred steps away from the front of Cuiwei Hall, and he could see anyone passing by at a glance.

Time passed bit by bit, Ling Jing never waited for any expected or unexpected changes, everything was peaceful.

Ling Jing couldn't help but murmur in his heart whether the news Huairen sent was accurate or not... He still couldn't understand, no matter who the mastermind behind the scenes was, how did Li Shan know the exact time to activate it.

"Mr. Ling."

Ling Jing saw that it was Du Ruhui, and was a little surprised. Among the staff of Tiance Mansion, this person was the least good at communication, or the most impatient with communication. "Is there something wrong with Keming?"

Du Ruhui showed a rare smile, "Seeing that Duke Ling is frowning..."

Ling Jing sighed secretly, reminded himself in the morning not to show any traces, but he was caught by others, and said with a smile: "It's nothing else, I'm just afraid that there will be changes in Yijun's warehouse."

"Fangzhou borders Jingzhao, and Phoenix Valley is only more than [-] miles away from Jingzhao." Du Ruhui shook his head, "If there is any change in Yijun's warehouse, you can immediately send a messenger south to Jingzhao, and go to Guan County and Huayuan County the next day. It will be able to transport food and grass to Renzhi Palace."

After a pause, Du Ruhui added: "If there is a change in Chang'an, Duke Ren and Duke Xiao will lead the army around Chang'an, and Duke Cao and Duke Guo will still be in the army."

Ling Jing was a little surprised. He knew that King Qin had prepared, but he didn't expect the arrangements to be so thorough. Moreover, in terms of the selection of generals, it was obvious that he had a tacit understanding with Li Yuan, and maybe even communicated with him.

Ren Guogong is Liu Hongji. In the former Sui Dynasty, he did the same thing as Zhu Wei. He conquered Liaodong with Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and deliberately killed cattle. He was arrested and imprisoned, but Zhu Wei had no one to protect him. Liu Hongji and the Li family were The family friend was protected by Li Yuan.

Therefore, Liu Hongji was the old team of Li Yuan's army. It was Liu Hongji who led the team when he killed Wang Wei and Gao Junya, the deputy left guards in Taiyuan. Later, when Jinyang raised troops, Liu Hongji personally beheaded Song Laosheng. Zhao, stationed outside the Jinguang Gate of Chang'an, was listed by Li Yuan as "first-class meritorious service".

At the same time, Liu Hongji was under Li Shimin's command from the very beginning. Although he was once defeated and captured in the battle against the Western Qin Dynasty, he made great contributions in the Battle of Baibi and then followed Liu Heitao, so he has always been regarded as a member of the Qin Dynasty. general.

Liu Hongji had been stationed in Longxi with Huai'an King Li Shentong since the eighth year of Wude, but he was recalled by Li Yuan to the middle of Beijing more than a month ago to serve as the General of the Left Guard.

The other leader, Xiao Guogong, Zhang Pinggao, is similar to Liu Hongji. He was a former lieutenant of Yingyang Mansion in Taiyuan Prefecture in the Sui Dynasty, and Li Yuan's old team. He ranked No.14 in the list of heroes in Taiyuan Yuanmou. of.

Zhang Pinggao's ability is not easy to evaluate, but he has nothing to do with the East Palace and Prince Qin's Mansion, and is Li Yuan's direct descendant.

Let these two people lead the army, and once the Chang'an Incident occurs, they can quickly put down the rebellion, but the two lieutenants are both direct descendants of the King of Qin. Cao Guogong Li Shiji and Guoguo Gong Huang Junhan are both from the Wagang lineage, and they both joined the Luoyang Tiger Prison with Li Shimin , Luoshui and other battles.

Ling Jing nodded, "That's much safer."

It is indeed very safe. On the one hand, it is aimed at the possible rebellion of Prince Li Jiancheng who stayed in Chang'an to supervise the country. On the other hand, it is also prepared for the possible turmoil of Yi Chu. After all, three of the four generals are direct descendants of King Qin.

However, Ling Jing was lamenting in his heart, maybe it was because Qi Wang Li Yuanji was too useless that Li Yuan, Li Shimin and his son focused their attention on Li Jiancheng who stayed in Chang'an.

The task of Liu Hongji and Zhang Pinggao is to keep an eye on Chang'an, do they have the guts to lead the army to Fangzhou?

To put it bluntly, even if Li Jiancheng rebelled, as long as he did not leave the outer city of Chang'an, Liu Hongji and Zhang Pinggao would just block the city gate and wait for Li Yuan to deal with it.

Without an edict, Fanshang's soldiers could not enter Chang'an, let alone leave Jingzhao.

What's more, according to the news sent by Li Shan, Liu Hongji and Zhang Pinggao may not be able to get news of the Renzhi Palace incident in a short time.

While Ling Jing was thinking, he chatted with Du Ruhui for a few words. Both of them were regarded as candidates for the prime minister after King Qin ascended the throne, and they might serve as provincial servants one after another or even at the same time.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Ling Jing wondered in his heart whether Li Shan's news was wrong, and the whole morning was very peaceful... But at this moment, the continuous sound of hurried footsteps made him and Du Ruhui turn their heads to look at the same time.

Unrest has come, and it is very uneasy, persistent unrest.

"Huo Guogong?" Ling Jing squinted at Chai Shao who was already trotting all the way, "Who is that person behind him?"

Du Ruhui was also a little ignorant. He and Fang Xuanling were known as the right-hand men of King Qin, but their abilities were reflected in strategy and government affairs... To put it bluntly, he could be Zhang Liang or Xiao He, but he was not Chen Ping.

The role of Chen Ping...in Tiance Mansion, was played by Changsun Wuji and Feng Lun.

Du Ruhui and Ling Jing stood by the window and waited, both of them pondering what happened in their hearts, and a quarter of an hour later, someone from the palace came to summon King Qin to have an audience.

Li Shimin glanced at Changsun Wuji, and the latter also saw the man behind Chai Shao, who was placed in the East Palace of Qiaogong Mountain, who suddenly rushed to Renzhi Palace, and met him immediately, maybe something happened to Chang'an , and something happened to Donggong.

Therefore, after entering the Cuiwei Palace, Li Shimin, who was well aware of it, was not surprised to hear Chai Shao talking about... Donggong School Weiqiao Gongshan sued the prince for treason.

Li Shimin felt a little uncomfortable, he was sure that he did not, and Changsun Wuji did not order Qiao Gongshan to sue the prince for rebellion, but the sudden appearance of Qiao Gongshan made Li Shimin suspicious...whether it is good or bad for him, but He faintly sensed that things seemed to be out of his control.

After pondering for a while, Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan whose face was sinking like water, "Father, this matter should not be trusted."

"The prince sits in charge of Chang'an and supervises the country, why is he seeking rebellion?"

This is easy to explain. What did Li Jiancheng use to start a rebellion?
Take the three thousand Changlin Army?
Besides, Liu Hongji, Zhang Pinggao, Li Ji, and Huang Junhan are all ready to go. Li Jiancheng can't even get out of Chang'an. What is he doing for rebellion?
Li Yuan waved his hands with a cold face, and Chai Shao said in a low voice, "The East Palace sent Qiaogongshan to transport armor and ordnance, so that Yang Wenqian, the governor of Fangzhou, raised troops to plot rebellion."
