Man Tanghong

Chapter 541 A Greater Crisis

"Let them be afraid if they are afraid!"

Li Yuan said arrogantly.

Pei Ji said with a bitter face: "Saint, it doesn't matter if you let them panic, but what if the state affairs are delayed?"

Li Yuan still wanted to speak, but Chen Shuda already understood what Pei Ji meant, and immediately said, "Now that His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness King Qin have been captured by His Highness King Qi, the officials under their command are probably already in a state of panic all day long.

If other officials also become panicked, then the political affairs of the ruling and opposition parties will be completely left alone.

Everything will be paralyzed.

This is not only a little harm to my Tang Dynasty, but a great harm, so the saint should think twice. "

Xiao Yu and Pei Ju followed suit, and even Li Gang, who was no longer ready to speak, couldn't help persuading him.

Finally, under the persuasion of several confidants, Li Yuan agreed to take a walk in the Tai Chi Hall.

Before leaving, Li Yuan handed over nearly [-] soldiers and horses to Li Shentong and Li Gang to take charge together, and told them to keep an eye on Anlimen, and they must not let Li Yuanji and his party slip away in this gap.

Li Shentong naturally patted his chest and swore that there would be no mistakes.

Although the [-] Zuo Wuwei soldiers stationed at Jiulongtan Mountain failed to stop Duan Zhixuan and his party, they fought to the last man and shed the last drop of blood.

Li Yuannian did not make things difficult for him because the three thousand soldiers of the left guards were still loyal and brave, so he escaped a catastrophe.

Being entrusted with an important task again is a manifestation of trust and recognition. He naturally readily agreed and promised to do well.

As for Li Gang, he simply agreed without much reaction.

After a brief explanation, Li Yuan took Chen Shuda and the others to the Tai Chi Hall.

Arriving at the Taiji Hall, after accepting the sincere worship and sincere comfort from the royal family and civil and military officials, he repeated the foolish rhetoric that he had given to Chen Shuda and others before.

The royal family and civil and military officials were shocked when they heard that it was the people from Youtunwei who rebelled. When they heard that it had been suppressed and all of them were killed, they breathed a sigh of relief, and then their faces were panicked. The expression on his face disappeared, and he began to accuse the Youtunwei people of crimes filled with righteous indignation.

As for the names of Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji, they didn't even mention them.

They are not stupid, how could they not know what happened in the palace.

After all, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji made such a big commotion and involved so many people. Li Yuanji even used all his troops to control several gates of Chang'an City. If they didn't know what happened,
They saw that Li Yuan was still able to go to court normally, and he was able to push everything that happened in the palace to the Youtun Wei, so they chose to believe Li Yuan's words.

From their point of view, since Li Yuan was able to go to court normally, and he was able to push everything to the right guards, it meant that everything was under Li Yuan's control, and there would be no major disturbances.

As long as there is no major disturbance, then they don't have to worry too much.

In this case, they believe whatever Li Yuan says.

The rest depends on how Li Yuan handles it.

Anyway, it's not their turn to intervene, and they are not qualified to intervene.

It was already midnight when Li Yuan finished appeasing the royal family and civil and military officials. After the royal family and civil and military officials left the Tai Chi Hall with satisfied smiles, Li Yuan asked Chen Shuda indignantly, "Why did you let Shall I wipe that traitor's ass?"

Chen Shuda bowed and said: "Saint, since you have pushed everything that happened in the palace to the Youtunwei, it means that you don't want people outside the palace to know what happened in the palace.

That being the case, you can't let people outside the palace know that His Royal Highness King Qi's mobilization of troops to control the various gates of Chang'an City is a private mobilization of troops.

Otherwise, it will contradict your words. "

Li Yuan stared and shouted: "Do you think they won't know if I don't tell you?"

Chen Shuda said seriously: "It's one thing for you to say it, but another thing for them to guess it."

One is official and one is unofficial.

As long as the official does not recognize it, even if the unofficial holds the truth, it is not the truth.

Li Yuan glared at Chen Shuda angrily, and didn't say anything more on this topic. Compared with what was still happening in the palace and what was waiting to be resolved, Li Yuanji dispatched troops to control several gates of Chang'an City, it was nothing at all. Count it.

"Go back to Anli Gate!"

Li Yuan flicked up his sleeves, and after saying these words, he rushed to Anlimen angrily.

When I arrived at Anlimen, I happened to meet Liu Jun who sent someone back to report the news.

"What did Liu Jun find out?"

Li Yuan asked people when he caught them, not like an emperor.

The person sent by Liu Jun is a young visitor next to him, whose surname is Yang, but he has nothing to do with the Yang family of the former Sui Dynasty. He is just a very ordinary eunuch.

Under Li Yuan's questioning, he lowered his head and recounted what Liu Jun had found, and when he was done, he handed over the detailed documents to Li Yuan's side.

After listening to the narration and reading the documents, Li Yuan beat his chest and roared.

"The beast! The beast! The beast!"

After Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, Pei Ji, Pei Ju, Li Gang and others finished listening to the narration and reading the documents, their faces were more ugly than ever.

After more than half a day of investigation, Liu Jun finally found out part of Li Shimin's arrangement outside Chang'an City.

This includes part of the military situation in Eastern Shaanxi Province and Duji Province.

After understanding the military situation, Li Yuan, Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu and others understood what kind of situation they were facing.

It can be said that what is happening in the palace now is just a part of Li Shi's people's plan.

Even after all the dust settles in the palace, this matter is not over yet.

Because Li Shimin's plans outside the palace and the power he gathered were far greater than those inside the palace.

Once it erupts in one breath, it will be earth-shattering.

At this juncture when the Turkic envoy was killed, no one dared to let this force break out.

This is also the reason for Li Yuan's chest-thumping roar.

"What do you think should be done?"

After learning about Li Shimin's arrangement outside Chang'an City, Chen Shuda and others no longer expected to wait for Li Yuan to make a decision, because they knew very well that Li Yuan couldn't come up with a perfect solution when facing this situation.

Li Yuan's chest and head were filled with anger now, and he didn't have the heart to think of a surefire solution.

So they had to think it over and tell Li Yuan that it was up to Li Yuan to judge whether it was feasible.

Facing Chen Shuda's question, Xiao Yu frowned and said, "Is it too late to send people to divide and win over?"

Pei Ji sighed, shook his head and said, "It doesn't work at all."

Pei Ju nodded and said: "It's really not going to work, and they may startle the snake. They don't know the specific situation in the palace yet, so they won't act rashly.

Once we send people to contact them, they will definitely guess that His Royal Highness King Qin has fallen into the next title.

At that time, they will definitely take action. "

Li Gang nodded approvingly and said: "We can divide and win over those who are attached to His Royal Highness King Qin for the sake of power, and those who are loyal to His Highness King Qin will not give us a chance to divide or win them over without hesitation. The incident caused me to mess up Tang Dynasty."

Chen Shuda said in a deep voice: "Is there any other way? Send troops to prevent and suppress it?"

Xiao Yu and Pei Ju were silent for a while, then shook their heads together.

Certainly not.

The soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty who were good at fighting were all in the north, and the vast majority of the soldiers and horses who were good at fighting in the north were Li Shimin's people.

Now they are the ones who are going to endanger Datang. Datang doesn't have enough soldiers and horses to wipe them out in one fell swoop, and it is difficult to send soldiers and horses to various places in Shandong and Duji in a short time.

More importantly, Datang can't even find a suitable leader now.

"Then what should we do? Just do it and watch?"

Chen Shuda asked anxiously.

Xiao Yu and the others looked at each other with bitterness on their faces.

What else can you do if you don't do it?

They couldn't think of a good way.

"You guys are talking!"

Seeing that a few people were silent, Chen Shuda urged them anxiously.

Xiao Yu and the others hesitated for a moment, then shook their heads together.

Chen Shuda stared and said: "Are we going to sit and wait like this, what does the saint want us to do?"

Xiao Yu said with a bitter face: "It's not that we want to sit and wait for death, but that we can't think of a good way even if we try our best."

Pei Ji stroked his beard and sighed, "His Royal Highness King Qi should have known about this earlier, otherwise he wouldn't have asked the saint to investigate this."

Chen Shuda and the others were taken aback, and Chen Shuda asked: "You mean His Royal Highness King Qi may have a solution?"

Pei Ji hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Although I don't want to admit it, since His Royal Highness Qi dares to ask the saint to investigate, he must have a way to deal with the worst situation."

"I'll ask him!"

At this time, Chen Shuda didn't care about the danger anymore, so he rushed towards the Anli Gate in a hurry.

When Li Yuanji heard the report from his subordinates, saying that it was Chen Shuda who asked to see him, he was slightly taken aback, and then laughed, "It seems that father has already found out the arrangement of the second brother outside Chang'an City."

Li Yuanji smiled and said something to Li Shimin, and ordered people to invite Chen Shuda to the top of the city.

As soon as they met, Chen Shuda couldn't wait to say: "His Royal Highness, did you find out everything already?"

Li Yuanji didn't hide anything, nodded his head and said, "Not bad!"

Chen Shuda hurriedly said again: "Then do you have a way to deal with it?"

Li Yuanji said truthfully: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say."

Although he has made a lot of arrangements and preparations, he may not be able to cope with the worst ending, and he can't say it well.

Because he never thought of letting things develop to the worst point.

"Is it there or not?"

Chen Shuda shouted anxiously.
