Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

One night passed, Li Longji sat up from the bed and stretched his waist lazily.

Looking back at the sleeping Concubine Wu Hui, her brows furrowed slightly.

I wanted to ask her about her relationship with Fan Xin, but finally gave up the idea and put on my dragon robe alone and went to Tongzheng Hall.

This is his first year on the throne, so it is better to be diligent in everything.

"Your Majesty, Chen Xuanli has returned from Bianzhou and is asking for an audience outside the palace." Gao Lishi bowed and said.

Li Longji said without raising his head while reading the memorial.

"I lost 50,000 divine warriors, but I still have the nerve to come back and let him in!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Not long after Gao Lishi left, Chen Xuanli, holding armor in hand and wearing a plain white shirt, walked into the hall.

Kneel down on one knee and say.

"The criminal Chen Xuanli is here to see His Majesty!"

Glancing at him, Li Longji snorted softly.

"You claim to be a famous general in vain. You couldn't even defeat some rogue bandits, but instead they pushed you into the Yellow River."

"It has caused great losses to our Tang Dynasty, Chen Xuanli, you have disappointed me so much!"

Hearing this, Chen Xuanli shuddered and slammed his head on the ground, his eyes turned red.

"I will die if I fail to live up to your expectations!"

After that, he stood up and hit the beam. The force was so great that even Gao Lishi who tried to pull him was knocked down.

"enough!"

After all, he was his confidant general. Seeing that Chen Xuanli wanted to die to prove his ambition, Li Longji's heart softened again.

"There are not many generals I can trust to lead the army. Where can I find you if you die? Sit down."

Gao Lishi rubbed his shoulders and smiled apologetically.

"That's right, General Chen. Since ancient times, victory or defeat has been a normal thing for military officers. Your Majesty is just angry. Do you have to die to prove your ambition?"

Chen Xuanli cupped his hands in shame.

"To be honest with Your Majesty, Eunuch Gao, the general was indeed careless this time and the rebels took advantage of him."

"But the most fundamental reason is that he was dragged into Xiangzhou by the enemy general."

"That's why we didn't rush to Bianzhou in time."

Hearing these words, Li Longji suddenly became curious.

"After all, you are also a general who has commanded the army for many years. Who can make you so afraid?"

Under the curious gazes of the two people, Chen Xuanli said a shocking name.

"What, you said that the leader of the Wagang Army is Fan Xin's confidant?"

No wonder Li Longji was shocked. During the battle at Fuqi City, Fan Xin led more than a hundred soldiers to collectively jump off the cliff.

Fan Liuzi is one of them. He should be dead by now.

Why did he become the leader of the rebels again?

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Chen Xuanli smiled bitterly.

"Yes, if not for the powerful generals like Fan Liuzi, Jiang Ji, and Cao Wei who occupied Xiangzhou, the general would not have focused all his attention on this city."

"Now that the big mistake has been made, it's too late..."

As the sigh sounded, the Tongzheng Hall fell into silence.

Yoshihisa

Li Longji slapped the big case hard, with murderous intent.

"As a general of the imperial court, he led the rebels to massacre the city. What he did was despicable! He deserves death!"

"I must kill these inhumane evildoers!"

"Chen Xuanli, I appoint you as the general manager of the march in Henan Province, and lead an army of 200,000 to capture and kill this thief!"

"I want the world to see what will happen to those who dare to mess with our Tang Dynasty!"

Chen Xuanli looked solemn, knelt on one knee and said.

"The last general takes command!"

Boom, boom, boom! Rapid drumbeats sounded on the battlefield.

A dense crowd of sergeants in the capital camp poured out of the camp gate and headed out of the city under the leadership of Chen Xuanli.

At the same time, Fan Liuzi dug up the Yellow River and flooded the Tang Dynasty. His crime was also posted all over the streets and alleys by the court.

When two hundred thousand soldiers of the Tang Dynasty walked to the ten-mile pavilion outside Luoyang City, Chen Xuanli suddenly reined in his horse and hesitated for a moment.

He jumped off his horse and came to the pavilion to bow his hands.

"General, I will meet His Royal Highness the King of Yan. I wonder if you are sitting here under the scorching sun?"

Fan Xin seemed to have just woken up. He took off his straw hat and sat up from the bench, glancing at the Tang Army behind him.

"This is General Chen. Where are you going to fight with so many troops?"

"Go back to His Majesty King Yan. The general is ordered to go to encircle and suppress the Wagang Army."

Chen Xuanli said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone. Two hundred thousand troops were encircling and suppressing the Wagang Army. There was no way anyone could hide such a big movement, so he simply said it.

"This Wagang Army should indeed be encircled and suppressed. It dares to dig up the Yellow River. It is simply asking for death."

The more Fan Xin talked, the angrier he became, and finally he slapped Liang and stood up.

"General Chen, you must show no mercy. If anyone dares to resist, he will be killed on the spot!"

Chen Xuanli took a deep look at Fan Xin and cupped his fists.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's a matter of court law, and the general will never be merciful in the slightest!"

After saying that, he rode away.

Watching the army leave, Li Lang brought a carriage.

"Your Majesty, there are so many rebels in Wagang Village. Can it be okay for just the two of us to go?"

"Why don't you bring a team of Qianniu Guards with you so that you can have someone to look after you on the way?

Fan Xin shook his head and said solemnly.

"It's too late, we must catch the Liuzi gang before the imperial army arrives!"

"Otherwise, with Chen Xuanli's character, there is absolutely no way for them to survive!"

"set off!"

……

Wagang Village, Crouching Tiger Hall.

At this time, there are many swords and guns here, war flags are displayed, and thousands of tall and tall sergeants are standing in the mountain stronghold.

In front of them, a dozen generals stood solemnly, their eyes moving as Fan Liu walked.

"Old Fan, it seems that the imperial court is serious this time and has sent an army of 200,000 to conquer us!"

Jiang Ji shook the notice issued by the court and motioned for the six sons to take a look.

"Don't look any further. The imperial court must have blamed us for all the sins Wu Yong and his gang of animals committed."

"Tell the brothers to pack their bags and prepare to go to Lingnan to hide from the limelight."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sergeant from Wagangzhai hurriedly came to report.

"Reporting to General Fan, there are two fishermen calling by name outside the camp who want to see you. They tell you to get out quickly or you will not wait until the time comes!"

The faces of the generals changed slightly and they shouted loudly.

"How presumptuous! How dare you insult the big boss, you are so impatient!"

"Hmph, no one dares to jump on top of our Wagang Village and act wild these days."

"I, the general, will cut off the heads of these two people and present them to the big boss!"

Waving his hands to signal everyone to shut up, Liu Zi frowned and said to the sentry.

"Did you see clearly that those two are really fishermen?"

For some reason, he had a vague illusion that this tone seemed familiar.

"Back to General Fan, that's what the person who came here really said. He also said that he is the only one in the world who can save you!"

Liuzi didn't listen to a word of the sentry's next words.

The four words "everywhere under heaven" kept echoing in my mind.

Looking at the Tang Dynasty, there is only one person who is qualified to say such things.

That is Fan Xin.

That's right, General Longhu, who was so powerful in the Tang and Zhou dynasties, is back!

Thinking of this, Liuzi could no longer hold back the excitement in his heart and said with a trembling voice.

"Jiang Ji, Cao Wei, Zhang Huan, come, follow me to meet an old friend, he is not dead!"

"Old friend?"

Zhang Huan and Cao Wei looked at each other, their bodies trembled, and they hurriedly followed.

They wanted to see urgently whether the fisherman was the one.

The entrance to the village.

Fan Xin lay on the carriage with his hands behind his head, and Li Lang led the horse for him.

They were surrounded by Wagangzhai sergeants holding long spears.

Suddenly, a loud shout sounded out.

"Put down your weapons!"

The armies separated, and the burly Liuzi walked to the carriage and looked at the figure in the carriage, his eyes immediately turned red.

Kneel down on one knee and say with a trembling voice. "Master, you are still alive!"

However, when faced with his sincere question, Fan Xin was completely indifferent.

A faint inquiry came from under the straw hat.

"Did you order the Yellow River to be dug?"

Feeling the anger contained in Fan Xin's words, Liu Zi felt ashamed.

"It has nothing to do with the humble position. It was Wu Yong and the others who secretly dug up the Yellow River behind the backs of his subordinates."

"madness!"

The straw hat was lifted, Fan Xin sat up and said with a dark face.

"If you become a criminal, I won't say anything. Even if you kill a few corrupt officials, it won't be a big deal."

"But you should never go to Wagang Village to lead an uprising."

"Don't you know the relationship between Wagang Village and Emperor Taizong?"

"Those who have dared to rebel since ancient times will die! What's more, Wu Yong used your signature to dig up the Yellow River!"

The more Fan Xin talked, the angrier he became and threw the riding crop directly to Li Lang.

"Slap this stupid thing for me!"

"Your Majesty, this..."

"Huh? If you don't want to smoke it quickly, why don't you let me do it myself?"

"Yes! I will obey your orders!"

Seeing Fan Xin getting angry, Li Lang sighed and clasped his fists at Liu Zi.

"I'm sorry, Lao Liu, don't think my brother is cruel!"

"Come on! As long as the young master can vent his anger, the sixth son can be whipped as many times as he likes!"

Liuzi was also a man. He took off his clothes and knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Snapped!

Snapped!

After a few whips, Liu Zi's back became bloody and bloody.

Cao Wei and Jiang Ji were seen muttering.

"Your Majesty was so cruel. Fortunately, he didn't hit us."

Unexpectedly, Fan Xin's voice came.

"Hmph, you guys are even more hateful. Li Lang, give them a hard spanking!"

Zhang Huan...

Jiang Ji...

After the whip came off, Li Lang was sweating profusely and faced Fan Xin.

"Your Majesty, each of these guys received twenty lashes!"

"What to do next?"

"Of course I will take them all back to the house. I will personally kill these three traitors!"

Fan Xin glanced at the three of them and ordered the remaining soldiers to carry them to the carriage.

Then he dispersed the Wagang Army, which was composed of farmers, and gave each of them two thousand yuan of resettlement allowance.

Just when Fan Xin was about to leave with his six sons, a menacing wolf cavalry came closer and closer, surrounding the group.

He stared at the Liuzi and the others on the carriage with unkind eyes.

The person who came was none other than Chen Xuanli, who noticed something was wrong. When he discovered Fan Xin's intention, he led two thousand Qingqi to Wagang Village without saying a word.

Sure enough, I saw Liu Zi who was about to be taken away.

"What do you mean, Your Majesty? The Sixth Son is the leader of Wagang Village. He dug up the Yellow River and flooded the entire Henan Road."

"What he committed is a heinous crime. Could it be that you want to protect him?"

Fan Xin smiled slightly and said calmly.

"Who said that I want to protect them? Didn't you see the scars on their backs?"

"I just want to take them back and deal with them."

Hearing this, Chen Xuanli shook his head.

"I'm afraid this cannot be done by your Majesty. The Sixth Son is a key criminal named by His Majesty himself and can only be dealt with by the Internal Guard."

"Others have no right to interfere. I advise the prince to hand them over to the general."

"Otherwise His Majesty will be furious and you won't be able to bear it!"

Facing the aloof Chen Xuanli, Fan Xin said calmly.

"What if I don't hand it over?"

"Then the general can only be rude. Come here, take away these important criminals for me!"

As soon as the words fell, thousands of Tang soldiers drew their swords and moved forward.

At the critical moment, Li Lang drew his sword to protect Fan Xin.

"How dare you to be rude to General Tiance and even think about your own life!"

"Li Lang, get out of the way."

Pushing Li Lang away, Fan Xin stood with his hands behind his back and said to the soldiers.

"I want to see who dares to touch Liu Zi today!"

"let's go!"

In the fearful eyes of all the troops, Fan Xin shook the reins and left slowly in the carriage.

Wherever they passed along the way, the sergeants moved out of the way.

Fan Xin was a highly respected minister, with overwhelming power and a large number of troops. Naturally, soldiers like them did not dare to stop him.

Seeing that no one under his command dared to step forward to stop him, Chen Xuanli's face turned livid with anger.

snapped.

"Fan Xin, you must think clearly that these key criminals are the ones His Majesty wants to arrest personally."

"Aren't you afraid of attracting Thunder's wrath?"

Unfortunately, the only answer he received was the sound of horse hooves...

"The general is about to commit a crime, what should we do?" several lieutenants asked in a low voice.

"What else can we do? Of course we have to report it to His Majesty. Let's go!"

"drive!"

……

Tongzheng Hall.

"What are you talking about? Fan Xin rescued the Sixth Son in public?"

Li Longji stood up suddenly and looked at Chen Xuanli in shock.

The latter lowered his head and said.

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent. None of the thousands of soldiers present at the time dared to step forward to stop him, so he took them away."

boom!

Kicking down the chair, Li Longji laughed angrily.

"Okay, okay, I really don't pay attention to the imperial court anymore. I even dare to save the people I want to arrest personally."

"Come here, let the officials come to the palace. I'm going to hold a grand meeting!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

As the big bell of Daming Palace rang leisurely, civil and military officials rushed to the hall one after another.

When Li Longji wore a yellow robe and ascended to the Golden Palace, all the ministers bowed and saluted.

"I see your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

"Be flat."

Li Longji said with a sullen face as his eyes swept over the ministers.

"The national law is like a mountain, which is the foundation of governing the country. If even the law can be abandoned, how can we talk about the advent of a prosperous age!"

Speaking of this, Li Longji suddenly looked at Fan Xin.

"Prince Yan, tell me, you openly took away rebellious officials and traitors like Liuzi and Jiang Ji, disregarding the laws of the Tang Dynasty and putting my face at risk?"

As soon as these words came out, the main hall of Daming Palace exploded.

No one expected that the leader of Wagang Village would be Fan Liuzi, let alone Fan Xin who would dare to rescue him.

Facing the pointing fingers of the ministers, Fan Xin took a step forward and said calmly to Li Longji.

"Your Majesty is unaware that the Sixth Son was previously a personal attendant of a minor minister. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the master has the right to deal with such persons."

"This guy was taken advantage of by Wu Yong. Although he didn't know anything about it, he still committed a heinous crime."

"So I personally went to Wagang Village to bring him back and prepare to cut off his head!"

Li Longji was startled, and the anger that he wanted to roar out was suppressed again.

Frowning.

"So, you plan to deal with him personally?"
