Ji Tang

Li Shimin's face became increasingly ugly, but this was not the time to think about this. In any case, the army outside was real, and they all looked elite.

Although he was completely sure of destroying it, he couldn't be careless. If it dragged on for a long time, it would really be over.The aristocratic family that has been suppressed by him for so many years will not let go of this opportunity.

"Yuchi Gong!"

"Chen is here!"

"You immediately take over the defense of Chang'an City and must keep the enemy out of the city. You are not allowed to leave the city to fight without my order!"

Yuchi Gong said dullly: "I accept the decree!"

After saying that, he turned around and left. This made Li Shimin feel very uncomfortable, but as a king, he did not need to explain to them.

Even though the families in the Guanlong Noble Military Group have been very stable in recent years, he knows better than anyone else what they are doing secretly. He must remove this cancer in his lifetime, otherwise he will not be able to rest in peace!
"Li Ji!"

"Chen is here!"

"You, Li Ji, secretly went out of the city to contact Ji Song and asked him to immediately take my tiger talisman to lead the Guanzhong army and put an end to the rebellion!"

Li Ji was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "He is the Duke of the State of Xi."

Everyone knows that Ji Song went to the rebel camp. Now that Xue Wanche is in prison, who knows what the situation is now, whether he can be found, whether he is alive or dead, how can he find him?

"Don't worry, I believe him. If the little rebels can't be quelled, then he is no longer the general of the Tang Dynasty. Just go find him. Youwuwei is next to the Iron City among the Four Davids of Chang'an. Now The news about Chang'an must have spread, and as long as he is still alive, he will definitely go to Tiecheng to wait for my will."

"The minister is going!"

Hearing this, Li Ji said nothing more. Judging from the current situation, everything is under His Majesty's control. Even Ji Song's departure from the city was probably indulged by His Majesty.

Otherwise, there would be no such coincidence in the world!
"Cheng Yaojin!"

"Chen is here!"

"You should also follow Li Ji. Ji Song has trouble with his legs and feet, so you can become his lieutenant!"

"The safety of Chang'an is left to you!"

"promise!"

Looking at the people under His Majesty Dan, when they saw Liu Hongji's cowardly behavior, they immediately became furious.But now is not the time to deal with him. Let's wait until the dust settles before talking about anything else.

"The other ship, Ji Qing, is going to Tiecheng to wait for orders. Gao Kan, Pei Renji, you guys are going too!"

"promise!"

After a few people left, he turned to look at Ji Run, who had been silent beside him, and his tone became gentle and said: "Go to Duke E and become a captain under his command!"

"Sir, take the lead!"

Ji Run responded expressionlessly, and then walked out of the hall without looking back.

Then he waved the others to leave, and in the end only Fang Du, Changsun Wuji, and Prince Li Chengqian were left.

"Finally wait for this day!"

Li Shimin sat on the dragon throne and breathed a long sigh of relief. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. After he ascended the throne, the Turkic forces went south, and the Guanlong nobles sat and watched, which was deeply buried in his heart.

Not only that, he also had to comfort him and provide him with many conveniences and rights. Who knew the frustration he felt at that time?At that time, he swore that he would pay them back ten times, a hundred times, or a thousand times in the future. He wanted to avenge his shame!
After decades of forbearance, these forces hidden in the dark were finally brought out through the matter of disarmament, because they knew that once disarmament began, their power on the surface would be greatly weakened, and they would even be unable to recover.

Without the power to check and balance the emperor on the surface, no matter how much power they have secretly, it will become a thing of the past.

The two phases are complementary to each other and one cannot exist without the other. Therefore, they thought about cooperating with Ji, but failed.The emperor's obvious lie made it clear to them that if changes were not made, life would become increasingly difficult for them.

Until the news of disarmament came out, they couldn't sit still at all.

disarmament?What kind of military reduction?

Will it not be up to the emperor to have the final say then?At that time, they will be meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by others!
Therefore, they spread rumors and incited mutiny. After careful consideration, they finally targeted Xue Wanche, who had a close relationship with Ji Song.

At first glance, this person has no scheming, and has no merit except for his bravery. Secondly, as long as his relationship with Ji Song is dragged down, Ji Song and even the Ji family will be dragged into the water. What choice will the Ji family have then?

Either he will be jealous of the emperor, and he will be liquidated at some point.Either raise an army to rebel and completely capture the emperor.They even made concessions secretly. In order to make Ji's family completely fall over to them, they even did not hesitate to let Ji Song sit in that position when the time came. As long as their status and power could be guaranteed, they didn't care who sat in that position!

But what happened was beyond their imagination. Who would have thought that Su Lie would intervene, wake up Xue Wanche in time, and go find Ji Song before they were ready?
When they heard the news, they knew they couldn't wait any longer!

Who is Ji Song?He was a recognized wise man in the Tang Dynasty. Once he knew about it, their actions would inevitably be hidden.

Sure enough, before they made a decision, Ji Song left the city. The moment Ji Song left the city, they had no choice.With Ji Song's prestige, Linghu Duan they planned could get an advantage in his hands.

Therefore, they resolutely raised their troops.

Even Li Shimin did not expect that in just half a day, the other party would pull out tens of thousands of troops, half of whom looked around at the soldiers of the Sixteenth Guards.

This made him angry and happy at the same time!

Because, in this way, all the opponent's trump cards are revealed.Only hidden trump cards can make people fearful, and trump cards that are exposed are no longer trump cards.

As long as they are annihilated in this battle, the threat of the Guanlong nobles will most likely be gone, and there will no longer be any trouble.

As for Ji Song leaving the city, he was also surprised. What was even more surprising was that he went to the rebel camp with two guards.But he was not very worried. He had been full of confidence in Ji Song for a long time.

I also know this guy's temperament, and he won't take risks easily without being completely sure.

When a series of explosions came from the direction of Youwuwei outside the city, he knew what Ji Song's trump card was.Gunpowder, he actually brought gunpowder with him.

Now he felt relieved, so he decided to let Li Ji go find Ji Song!

He is not worried about the rebels at all, and even the louder and larger the better, because he can solve these problems at once.As for what kind of harm it would bring to Chang'an and Guanzhong, these were not among his considerations.Even if Guanzhong is destroyed, he will still do it without hesitation as long as he can eradicate this cancer that has taken root in the Tang Dynasty.

He knew that doing so would chill or even disappoint many people. Just now Yu Chigong's attitude, Cheng Yaojin's attitude and Ji Run's attitude already explained the problem.

He doesn't care about any of this!
"Xuanling, you are in darkness!"

"I have finally waited for this day!"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were among the few who knew the true situation back then. After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the prince and his party rebelled, and the Tang Dynasty, which had just been founded less than ten years ago, was about to be in turmoil.

This allowed Jie Li from the grassland to see an opportunity, and 20 cavalry went south. Such a momentum was for the purpose of destroying the Tang Dynasty.

If His Majesty had not been the emperor immediately, after he ascended the throne, he reactivated many of the generals who had fought with him in the world, controlled a lot of military power, and came to the rescue quickly after the Turks moved south. His Majesty even boldly ordered people to go north to cut off the Turks' retreat and let the Turks retreat. Jie Li saw the danger and the fierce resistance in Guanzhong, so he retreated, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

But were there really no armies in Chang'an and Guanzhong at that time?
No, not only that, there are many.

But those people were controlled by the Guanlong nobles. After His Majesty forced the Crown Prince to abdicate and the Crown Prince was killed, they had already turned against each other.

The Guanlong nobles supported Li as the emperor, and the prince was also the next emperor they recognized. They devoted too much resources and efforts to Li Jiancheng.But a Xuanwumen incident completely wiped out all their investments.

Can they help Li Shimin at this time?

At that time, His Majesty came to visit and requested, but was undoubtedly rejected.One can imagine His Majesty's mood in this situation.

Fortunately, the crisis was over, otherwise it would be hard to tell who exactly is in this world. Even Ji Song doesn't know much about this matter, although he has some guesses.

However, after so many years, the Guandong family was suppressed by His Majesty and had to leave overseas. The Guanlong family just had a ghost in their hearts back then. In the past few decades, they have been working hard and staying safe, even for fear of being caught by the emperor. very.

In addition, the Tang Dynasty joined the mainland, the eight wastelands surrendered, the people were rich, and the military strength was strong.In their opinion, even a fool would not do anything at this time.

Even the Guanlong nobles could only bow their heads and not dare to have the slightest ambition.

But they were right about the Guanlong nobles, but they were wrong about His Majesty!
Who would have thought that the Guanlong forces would pull out tens of thousands of troops right under their noses, and this was only part of it.You must know that everything in Guanzhong is under His Majesty's control.

They would be really stupid if they didn't understand at this time. Without the emperor's secret indulgence and indulgence, even gods would not be able to mobilize so many troops.

"Your Majesty, why are you doing this? With the power of the Tang Dynasty, why should we be afraid of them? Why should we use such drastic measures?"

Fang Xuanling ignored Du Ruhui's obstruction, stood up slightly tremblingly, and said bitterly: "How can I, the people of Guanzhong of the Tang Dynasty, deserve it? How can I, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, deserve it? Go out and take a look. Among the tens of thousands of troops, I only need an imperial edict from you. Most of them will lay down their weapons and surrender. They are just being coerced and are just trying to survive. If you do this, they will have no choice but to resist desperately, and then all life in Guanzhong will be in ruins."

"say no more!"

"No, I want to say, are you not afraid of being infamy in the history books by doing this?"

"Yes, you can revise history books and imperial edicts, but can you block the world's mouth?"

Ignoring Li Shimin's cannibalistic look, he sighed: "Your Majesty, I would have never dared to say these words when I was young, because I was afraid!"

"Dancheng is old now, and I don't know if I will be able to see the sun tomorrow if I sleep tonight. It is said that people are good at words when they are about to die. Even if I am killed by your majesty today, I must finish my words!"

"Every generation has its own affairs. Your Tang Dynasty has been glorious enough for all generations, and your achievements have been enough to be passed down to future generations. Why should you harm your reputation for those people?"

He glanced at Li Chengqian and said: "The prince is a virtuous man, everyone knows that, although he is not as talented as your majesty, it is enough for the Tang Dynasty to continue to be glorious."

"I know you want to take revenge, but how can the people deserve it? Once the rebels ravage Guanzhong, Guanzhong, which has been stable for decades, will be hit hard again. You..."

"Bang~"

"I asked you to stop talking. Stop talking. Do you hear me clearly?"

Li Shimin was furious, this was exposing his old roots!

"minister"

When Li Chengqian saw that something was wrong, he quickly pulled Fang Xuanling and begged: "Prime Minister, please stop talking!"

"Let him go, let this old guy talk. I want to see what other treasonous words he can say and let him say it!" Li Shimin was furious. If he didn't have a trace of reason, he would have hacked this old man to death on the spot. thing.

"Here, the prime minister is feeling unwell. Take him to the imperial physician for treatment immediately. Hurry!"

Li Chengqian didn't know that he couldn't continue like this, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.A large army is besieging the city outside, and the emperor and his ministers are confronting each other inside. If this goes wrong, there will probably be big trouble.

But the people outside the door looked at each other. They only took orders from His Majesty, but the prince was the crown prince, and they did not dare to offend him, so they all looked at the emperor.

"What are you looking at? If you don't hurry up and take Fang Xiang down, you are stupid!"

Du Ruhui scolded quickly, and then the guard suddenly realized!

Li Shimin didn't stop him, and he didn't really want to do anything to Fang Xuanling.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is also thinking about your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty. He was just making quick remarks. Please forgive me!"

Seeing the white-haired Di Jinhui kneeling on the ground, everyone was shocked, and Li Shimin couldn't sit still.He quickly got off Danbi, helped him up, and said, "Ai Qing, what are you doing? I don't want to do anything to them. It's just that this old thing is really annoying."

He gritted his teeth and said: "Am I such a cruel king in his eyes? I have already made preparations. They cannot make trouble, and everything is under control!"

Du Ruhui opened his mouth, but finally swallowed it.

Everything is under control?Do you believe this yourself?
When armies clash, the most indispensable thing is variables.With tens of thousands of troops, who can guarantee that they will all be annihilated?Once it escapes, Guanzhong will face a disaster.

However, he knew that he could not persuade the emperor, especially when it had already begun, it was meaningless for them to continue to persuade.The only thing that can be done now is to clean up the next mess for the emperor and minimize the losses.

He looked at the prince and felt a little relieved. At this time, the prince could keep calm and help the old man regardless of his majesty's reproach. He had to remember this kindness.

He looked at the prince, then at the old emperor, and an idea came to his mind.But he quickly suppressed it, and he was even more frightened. How could he have such an idea?
Afraid of being seen, he quickly lowered his head.Li Shimin thought he was still worried about Fang Xuanling and didn't think much about it.But if you knew what the other person was thinking, you would probably be angry to death. (End of this chapter)
