Li Er of the Tang Dynasty: Ancestor Xie is here!

Chapter 156 Do you have the strength to fight with me, Li Shimin?

Of course Zhu Quanzhong didn't know what was waiting for him in Jiaodian Courtyard.

All he knew now was that the cooked duck was about to fly, and he was about to become the laughing stock of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Under the heavy siege of your heavy cavalry, you surrounded people like iron barrels, but in the end you couldn't even kill a king? Do you know how to play the game of beating one out of a hundred and getting counter-killed? Stop playing and go home. Why are you usurping the throne? Hello, Prince Liang of the Tang Dynasty!

At this time, Li Keyong, who was far away in Jinyang, just got up from the bed and prepared to eat.

The breakfast was rich, but the first thing he picked up was still his favorite millet porridge.

"The millet in Shanxi is good for people~" Li Keyong smacked his lips and sighed proudly.

Suddenly, the personal guards came to report.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be something strange in the direction of Chang'an..."

"What's going on?" Li Keyong was quite concerned about Chang'an. He had been having trouble sleeping since Li Ye was taken away by Zhu Quanzhong.

It's not that he was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but it was more uncomfortable to see Zhu Quanzhong proud than to kill him.

"I don't know, but at night, the light in the direction of Chang'an is as bright as day." The guard organized his words, and then said: "Indistinctly, it seems that the sound of dragons and phoenixes can still be heard..."

This thing sounds like just the same thing, but if you see it with your own eyes, it is very shocking.

For the first time, the guard felt that he was so uneducated and could only go around the world with one word.

"Is there such a thing?" Li Keyong nodded slightly: "I understand, please step back first."

Naturally, Li Keyong didn't know what was happening in Chang'an now, and even the people of Chang'an were at a loss.

Since last night, strange phenomena have begun to bloom in the direction of Zhaoling. There are thousands of rays of light and auspiciousness in the sky, and you can even vaguely see dragons and phoenixes shuttle among them.

"Could it be that Emperor Taizong couldn't bear it anymore and had a spiritual manifestation?" This question was lingering in the minds of the people of Chang'an.

It’s no wonder they hesitated, after all, when the capital fell six times and the emperor fled nine times, His Majesty Taizong didn’t show up. What's more, swine fever set fire to the city of Chang'an half a year ago, and His Majesty Taizong was not seen. The hearts of the people of Chang'an have long since died.

Naturally, Zhu Quanzhong would not know all this. He was now leading his troops and horses towards Jiaodian Courtyard.

Out of caution, he still ordered a thousand elite soldiers, all of whom were elites who followed him in the north and south.

Even if a bunch of people were secretly produced under his nose, Zhu Quanzhong didn't think there would be many.

I have a thousand people, can you beat me? If you, Li Ye, make some waves today, I, Zhu Quanzhong, will eat my armor on the spot!

Zhu Quanzhong was fully clothed, riding a tall horse, and walked to the gate calmly.

"Your Majesty! Open the door! It's me! Zhu Quanzhong is here to escort you!"

Zhu Quanzhong's voice was loud and his tone was extremely arrogant. While shouting, he ordered the soldiers to draw their bows and set arrows. As soon as Li Ye showed his head, they would kill him on the spot.

Highlight the one who shows up and dies.

"Zhu Quanzhong, you traitor! Rebel! Evil thief!"

Li Ye's voice sounded in the Jiaodian courtyard.

"I won't hide it from you! My ancestors came to save me! My ancestors know that you are a Jiedushi and are proficient in martial arts! But my ancestors think that your martial arts are just superficial! What if? You still cherish the honor of your Jiedushi, so you should quickly carry your weapons, walk out of your military formation, and come to a one-on-one duel with your ancestors! My ancestors guarantee in the name of the emperor that if I lose by your sword I will give up the throne to you!"

At the end, Li Ye felt it was not enough, so he added another sentence.

"Zhu Quanzhong, did you really hear that?"

"You bastard... shoot arrows for me!" Zhu Quanzhong's face turned purple with anger. He waved his hand and ordered to shoot arrows.

Just after shooting a round with his bow and arrows, the gate of Jiaodian Courtyard suddenly opened, and a group of strong and capable men that he had never seen in his life poured out.

These people were covered in armor, a style he had never seen before - as if the armor was made of a single piece of fine steel, and it reflected light brightly.

The so-called "elites" he gathered were nothing compared to this group of elites covered in armor. Not even swords, bows and arrows could harm them at all. Soon, all Zhu Quanzhong's elite fell beside him.

"Ah? This..." Zhu Quanzhong felt as if he was on a roller coaster. Just now, he felt that victory was within his grasp and victory was in sight, but Li Ye was just a turtle in a urn. But less than a quarter of an hour passed, and the outcome changed hands instantly.

It's broken, and I'm a turtle in a urn.

Li Shimin walked out of Jiaodian Courtyard, followed by Li Ye. He came to Zhu Quanzhong and sneered.

"Do you know who I am?"

Zhu Quanzhong shook his head with difficulty.

He just had a guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to confirm it yet.

"This is my ancestor! Emperor Taizong Wen of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Ye introduced to Zhu Quanzhong very proudly.

His mood was like drinking Sprite in the dog days of summer, his heart was chilled and his heart was soaring, and he couldn't be happier.

You know that when you are being bullied, it feels like your ancestors suddenly appear to help you fight back! many! Cool! !

I have ancestors, and my ancestor is Bai Yueguang of the Tang Dynasty! If you don't accept it, why don't you let your ancestors come?
  Zhu Quanzhong's legs were trembling and he couldn't stand at all, as if he was sifting chaff.

He wanted to call him ancestor, but his ancestors didn't know where to dig the land in Li Shimin's time.

"Is there him?" Li Shimin reached out and patted Zhu Youliang's helmet next to Zhu Quanzhong, causing the helmet to tilt.

Zhu Youliang stood in a small pile and did not dare to resist.

"Yes." Li Ye nodded hastily.

Zhu Youliang bullied him a lot because he was Zhu Quanzhong's eldest nephew.

The anger towards Zhu Youliang over the years has also accumulated to a critical point. But Li Ye is not in a hurry. Zhu Quanzhong and his family have become turtles in the urn, and he is not in a hurry to take revenge.

"What's the matter? I heard you mean that you want to come to Jiaodian Courtyard to kill the king?" Li Shimin crossed his arms and looked at him: "Isn't it over? Do you really think that my Li family is easy to bully?" "It seems that you really want to fight with me. All of a sudden?"

Li Shimin looked down at Zhu Quanzhong with disdain on his face.

"Do you have the strength to compete with me, Li Shimin?"

Zhu Quanzhong trembled three times and did not dare to speak at all.

"Now I'll give you a chance." Li Shimin reached out to the guard behind him, took the spear in his hand and handed it to Zhu Quanzhong, "Take this spear and fight with me with a real sword and a real gun. You win." , I will let you go, as well as your brothers."

Zhu Quanzhong panted violently and wanted to hold the spear, but he did not have the courage.

Just kidding, who knows if you are a human or a ghost? Originally it was a matter for the three Yi tribes, but if I take action, I am afraid that it will become the ninth Yi tribe.

"I'll give you three counts of time." Li Shimin stretched out his hand and made a sign of three: "Three, two, one..."

Zhu Quanzhong's hand softened, and the spear fell to the ground with a clang.

Then, his legs softened and he knelt on the ground.

"I thought you were a person at first, but I didn't expect you to be worse than a dog." Li Shimin sneered and commented on Zhu Quanzhong: "I can't believe that the great country of my Li family has been usurped by a rat like you."

"If you can still carry a weapon and fight with me, I can still look up to you."

"Did you see that? The so-called King of Liang you are following is a rat that doesn't even dare to move a gun in front of me." Li Shimin raised his head and said to the soldiers who were still alive.

"Since you are so aware of current affairs, I am a little embarrassed to take action." Li Shimin lowered his head and looked at Zhu Quanzhong: "Well, I won't hold you accountable. If you are a member of the Yi clan, it won't be too difficult for you, right?"

"Today I can be considered acquainted with Quanzhong. All of you present are witnesses." Li Shimin said to the soldiers around him: "I don't have to pursue you, but you must explain it to me carefully when you go back. Ah, I will He was given the opportunity to Zhu Quanzhong because he didn't know how to grasp it, and he was a coward, do you understand?"

All the soldiers immediately nodded hurriedly, as if they had taken some stimulants.

"Go to Chang'an tomorrow and chop him up." Li Shimin pointed at Zhu Quanzhong in disgust and said to the people around him: "If you dare to burn my Chang'an, I will let you know that the people of Chang'an still have someone who can make decisions for them!"

……

On that day, under Li Shimin's strong integration, nearly half of Zhu Quanzhong's power was in his hands.

After a little integration, Li Shimin moved to Chang'an with the basic base of Li Ye and Zhu Quanzhong.

Regardless of whether Chang'an is suitable to be the capital or not, it should be moved back now - the original move of the capital to Luoyang was a last resort forced by Zhu Quanzhong, a rebel. Now that the chaos has been rectified, everything must be restored to Chang'an.

After learning that His Majesty Taizong had appeared and personally set things right and killed Zhu Wen, the people of Chang'an supported the old and the young and ran to the city gate to greet His Majesty Taizong with tears in their eyes.

The common people sang the traditional song "We hope that His Majesty the old Emperor Taizong will come back", remembering the good days passed down by their ancestors orally, and looked at the man with tears in their eyes.

"That's the man with the beard who was awarded the title of General Tiance!"

Li Shimin rode on the horse, feeling that the people of the Tang Dynasty were still loyal to him hundreds of years later, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

After retaking control of Chang'an, Li Qing mobilized engineering teams from Zhenguan time and space to renovate the Daming Palace and Taiji Palace, as well as the burned-down houses in Chang'an City.

Li Shimin appointed Li Xiuning as the Grand Marshal of the Tiance Army, and Li Ji and Li Jing as the Deputy Marshals of the Tiance Army. They led the army to attack the Jiedu envoys who did not obey the imperial orders.

Of course, Li Xiuning was not the kind of woman who could talk on paper. Coupled with the pressure of generations, she was almost invincible and ran rampant throughout the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, it is also inseparable from Li Qing's escort. This is the case for an army without logistical worries.

I think this is a kind of confidence.

In just over two months, many Jiedushi envoys surrendered their military and political power to the imperial court. Under Li Shimin's iron-fisted integration, Datang, an old man in his twilight years, regained his vitality.

In a sense, we have to thank Huang Chao. It was his killing and killing that allowed the current court to redistribute land resources without any hindrance.

The people who got the land thought about the good things of the imperial court and rushed to join the army to serve the imperial court.

As a result, the Shence Army was reorganized and expanded to [-] people.

This time, the army was not led by eunuchs, but by clan members.

After the last Jiedushi announced the surrender of military and political power, Jin King Li Keyong also announced his return to the rule of the imperial court, and said that he would personally take his children and grandchildren to live in Chang'an.

Li Shimin also gave him face. Not only did he not take back his title of Jin Wang, but he also allowed him to inherit it without lowering his title for three generations.

Li Keyong happily expressed his willingness to obey all instructions of Emperor Taizong, but he had a small request - could His Majesty Taizong personally announce that he, Li Keyong, would be the Li Tang clan member from now on.

Of course, Li Shimin was very happy about Li Keyong's knowledge of current affairs. He recognized such a descendant on the spot and promoted him to a higher level, asking Li Ye to recognize him as the emperor's uncle.

Li Keyong was so moved that he knelt on the ground and burst into tears. Emperor Taizong really gave him too much face.

After that, Li Keyong and Li Shimin talked about the ambitions of the northern Khitan Yelu Abaoji.

Li Keyong had always known about Yelu Abaoji's ambitions. In history, after his death, he gave his son Li Cunxu three arrows. One arrow asked to destroy Zhu Quanzhong of the later Liang Dynasty, and Li Cunxu did it; the other arrow asked to beat up Yelu Abaoji, and Li Cunxu also did it; the third arrow asked to kill Liu Rengong, Li Cunxu still did it...

Every time he achieved a small goal, Li Cunxu would definitely bring arrows to the Ancestral Temple to sacrifice. However, after completing these three main tasks, Li Cunxu seemed to have lost his goal, and his corruption rate was comparable to that of a primary school student who heard "Timi" after vacation.

Future generations also feel sorry for him and are also making fun of him. If Li Ke had left a few more arrows, perhaps the entire history would have been different.

Li Shimin always followed his advice. Of course he readily accepted Li Keyong's proposal and led his army to Youzhou, preparing to act as a mediator between the two.

Of course Yelu Abaoji will not give in. You said you are Li Shimin? Can you prove it to me first? Who wouldn’t brag about empty talk? Besides, these brothers under me have to rely on me for a living. Let him talk to me about Li Keyong!

After a few words of oral gymnastics between the two sides, Li Shimin decided that he could no longer hesitate and had to hit hard! Watch me send out the Tiance Army to send you Khitans to heaven one by one!
  The result was that the Khitan immediately became a fan under the Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty, and Yelu Abaoji also became a fan in a physical sense.

After the last area of ​​disobedience was defeated, Datang truly had no opponents in the surrounding area.

As for the Western Region, let Li Ye handle it himself. If you can't handle the Western Region where there are no tigers in the mountains and monkeys are kings, then you, the emperor, should stop doing it as soon as possible and abdicate the throne as soon as possible.

After handling the affairs at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin asked Li Ye to work diligently and not harm the people. With his reluctant eyes, he left this plane.
