Chapter 364: Reducing Li Tai’s Military Power

"Your descendants are really helpless when they meet your ancestor." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Father."

"It's too early to say that."

"What if I can live for hundreds of years and live forever, what will happen to my descendants?" Li Zheng said with a smile.

Double entendre.

Immortality.

This was an extravagant dream for other emperors, but for Li Zheng, it was a chance to win.

"Just keep blowing." Li Shimin said angrily.

"However, you boy is really good this time."

"Once Kong Xian died, Confucianism no longer had a leader. But today, the scholars call you their teacher, and according to their praises, your prestige in the hearts of the scholars in the world will reach its peak in the future, and you will win over the hearts of the scholars. It's of great use." Li Shimin said happily.

"Ah."

Li Zheng smiled slightly and was very surprised to see Master Li's name.

Come back to your senses.

"Father, I will leave for Luoyang tomorrow." Li Zheng said, his expression returning to seriousness.

Hear the sound.

Li Shimin's expression also became serious.

After a moment of silence.

"Keep him alive and bring him back."

"If it was really him who did it, I want to ask him personally why." Li Shimin said solemnly.

"Do not worry."

"Since I promised you not to kill those brothers, I won't kill them."

"I'll bring him back."

"And the man behind the poisoning, the Taoist priest in green." Li Zheng said solemnly.

"That's good."

Li Shimin nodded with relief.

……

Outside Luoyang Mansion.

Hundreds of bad guys quickly rode towards Luoyang Mansion.

In addition to the bad guys, there are also a dozen generals in armor.

Arrived at the city gate.

Wang Hao directly took out the token and shouted loudly: "Bad people are on an errand, get out of here quickly."

Seeing the word "Emperor" on the token, the city gate guards immediately dispersed and knelt down.

Wang Hao and his men quickly rushed into the city and ran directly to Prince Wei's Mansion.

And this moment.

In the palace of King Wei.

Xie Zaixing, the commander of the Luoyang Army, walked quickly towards the main hall with a heavy expression.

"Your Highness."

"The bad guys are coming to town."

"Wang Hao is here again in person."

"Did the Emperor make any moves again? What should I do?" Xie Zaixing looked at Li Tai with a serious face and reported.

Li Tai's expression remained unchanged, and his heart felt slightly cold.

"Don't panic, don't be confused."

"I haven't done anything, so why should I be afraid of bad people?"

"Let's go, follow me to greet you." Li Tai slowly stood up and said very calmly.

"Yes."

Seeing Li Tai's steady look, Xie Zaixing felt a little relieved.

"What is your father sending Wang Hao to do again?"

"Could it be that Nanzhao assassinated Li Zheng?"

"This is impossible. None of those dead soldiers will be alive. Even if my father is suspicious, there is no evidence. Are you going to take me to Chang'an for interrogation this time?"

Li Tai looked calm with his hands behind his back, but he was very uneasy in his heart.

The last time Wang Hao came.

He directly brought his wife and children back to the Chang'an confinement. This time Wang Hao came again. If it wasn't a big deal, it would definitely not be Wang Hao's turn to come in person.

soon.

In front of the palace.

The bad guys quickly dispersed and surrounded the palace.

Wang Hao sat on the horse and did not get off. "Commander."

Liu Lin immediately walked out of the palace with his bad guys. Since receiving the surveillance mission, Liu Lin did not dare to slack off for a moment. Hearing Wang Hao's arrival, he immediately greeted him.

"Ah."

Wang Hao nodded, but his eyes were fixed on the door of the mansion.

Under his gaze.

Li Tai walked out slowly with a group of servants.

"Commander Wang is here again at Prince Wei's Mansion. What's going on?" Li Tai walked out and looked directly at Wang Hao and asked.

His expression was calm, without any trace of panic.

This courage alone shows Li Tai's character.

"Of course I came here on the emperor's order." Wang Hao said indifferently, holding up the imperial edict in his hand.

Li Tai's expression changed, and he was secretly frightened. Seeing Wang Hao's unkind appearance, Li Tai became even more panicked.

He knelt down quickly and respectfully welcomed the imperial edict: "My son, Li Tai, respectfully welcomes the imperial edict from my father."

"It is destined to be carried by heaven, the emperor decreed."

"The Jinyang Army under the jurisdiction of King Li Tai of Wei, all the generals have worked hard and made great achievements in defeating the Turks in the past. Today, I specially inform King Li Tai of Wei that the generals of the Jinyang Army under his command have gone to Chang'an to report on their duties. They have other purposes."

"Xu Yi, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyang Army."

"Li Qing, deputy general of Jinyang Army."

"Pan Yuanshao, deputy general of Jinyang Army."

"Fifteen people including Xu Zhijian, deputy general of the Jinyang Army, have all been transferred to Chang'an to report on their duties."

"I hope that after Wei Wang Li Tai receives the order, he will immediately hand over the military symbols, and his generals will immediately prepare for Chang'an without delay."

"Other."

"The commander of Jinyang Army will be Li Sheng, the deputy general Feng Cheng, and the other subordinates will be appointed by the two generals."

"Appreciate this."

Wang Hao read loudly.

Hear this decree.

Li Tai's expression suddenly changed as he was kneeling on the ground.

My heart was tumbling wildly.

This imperial edict was like hitting a snake seven inches, directly hitting his vitality gate.

The Jinyang Army is something he has devoted countless efforts and sacrifices to, and is someone he truly relies on. Xu Yi and other generals are his confidants and have been trained by him over the years.

Although others are in Luoyang, the Jinyang Army is controlled by people like Xu Yi, which is as reliable as his own control.

Recently, he plans to transfer the Jinyang army to Luoyang little by little for other purposes.

But this is an imperial edict.

Directly transfer these confidant generals under his command away from the Jinyang Army.

This move simply gave him a blow.

He handed over the Tiger Talisman, transferred his confidants, and replaced Li Sheng, the son of the King of Jiangxia, as the commander-in-chief of the Jinyang Army.

There is also Hou Junji's general Feng Cheng as deputy general.

Both of these two men were absolutely loyal to the emperor and absolutely loyal warriors.

Let them take charge of the Jinyang Army. It will be impossible for him, Li Tai, to take charge of this army again in the future.

In this way, the Jinyang Army, which he has always relied on, will have nothing to do with him.

"Father, you...you are so cruel."

"This move."

"My son really didn't expect it."

"You are truly worthy of being the father who launched the Xuanwu Sect revolution."

"First it was government affairs, and now it's military power."

"Now, except for the title of vassal king, all my rights have been taken away by your will."

"You are so cruel."

Li Tai was trembling all over at this moment, and there was a despair that he could not resist.

This imperial edict completely put an end to Li Tai's thoughts and abolished his military power. He will be unable to do anything in the future.

and.

His wife and children are still imprisoned in Chang'an. He dare not make any move. If he dares to move, his wife and children will suffer.

of course.

Even if his wife and children were still in Luoyang Mansion, he would not dare to move. The person who now controls the huge empire of the Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin, the wise emperor who started his career in rebellion.

No matter how confident Li Tai was, he didn't have the confidence to go against his father.

All the preparations he made were to deal with his elder brother Li Chengqian.

Even if Li Shimin stood in front of him, he was afraid.
