I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 72

Looking at the guard who was beaten half to death.

Changsun Wuji's face remained calm, but there was a different meaning in his eyes.

Looking at the gathering of the forbidden army outside, the tense situation.

At this moment, he had to compromise!
"Hu Guogong is righteous, the old man has been in this court for dozens of years, and he is getting old."

With a sigh, he took off his Taiwei seal, turned around and was about to leave.

Outside, the imperial army surged.

Qin Qiong suddenly turned her head, "Wait!"

"What does Hu Guogong mean? Could it be that I want the old man to kneel down and apologize to the former emperor for his gift?"

It was very rare that Changsun Wuji was angry!

"Master Changsun misunderstood, there are not many veterans left in the court, and you are leaving, who else can suppress this chaos?"

In an instant, Qin Qiong's complexion changed drastically.

Having controlled the court for dozens of years, the relationship with officials has long been deeply rooted. Now that Changsun Wuji resigned from office on his own initiative, many ministers wished this was the case.

Therefore, they naturally have no objections.

The question is, what's the face of the court if he left like this?

This is the Taiwei, or the Minister of Fuguo.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji cannot resign!

Not to mention, the eldest grandson's family is well managed in Qianzhou, who knows if there will be other plans.

It's better to be here than to leave!
"The old minister is ashamed of the former emperor. The crown prince can be assisted by his uncle Shen Guogong."

After speaking, the lonely figure left the court.

Since then, a generation of ministers who were most valued by the late emperor Li Shimin left.

Although Qin Qiong and the others had longed for him to leave, they couldn't do it at this moment, and they couldn't stop them.

Half a month later, Qianzhou.

According to modern planning, this place is Chongqing.

It can be said that the eldest grandson's family is the Emperor of Earth here, and even the emperor's imperial decree can only be carried out with their permission.

Before Li Shimin was in power, he seemed to be under the control of the court, but in fact, Changsun Wuji was behind it in order to maintain the emperor's trust.

That night, dozens of people gathered in Changsun Mansion.

"My lord, my minister."

"I'm no longer an adult, I'm just an old man!"

Before he could finish speaking, Changsun Wuji waved his hand.

"I know what you are going to say, there is no need for it, Li Tai's enthronement as the new emperor is a certainty."

"My lord, is there really nothing I can do?"

There are more than a dozen officials, the youngest of which are fourth-rank officials, and three of them are governors.

Changsun Wuji didn't answer this question, but turned to look at his son Changsun Chong!
"How are you preparing?"

"Father, everything is ready to act at any time."

Changsun Chong has always kept a low profile. Ever since he married Princess Li Lizhi of Changle, his voice was hardly heard in court.

As an official of the secretary supervisor, he knows more secrets of the imperial court than outsiders!
A few days ago, his father resigned from office, and he also left the court.

"Currently, we have an army of more than 50, all of whom are elite soldiers who have been trained for many years in various places, and there are also some ordinary farming stations. All the soldiers, including those farmers, are all ours. The total number of troops exceeds [-]!"

"All the people's livelihood and military deployment in the entire Jiangnan Road are all our people!"

Jiangnan Road is divided into three supervision areas, Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road, and Qianzhong Road, which can be said to include the most affluent areas in the entire Tang Dynasty except Chang'an.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Runzhou alone, which is a certain place in modern Jiangsu, can be called the lifeblood of the country's economy.

"Hmph, this old man has worked for the royal family for most of his life, and he ended up like this. I even knew that His Majesty had the idea of ​​reducing the title. If I didn't prepare early, I'm afraid my eldest grandson's family would have disappeared!"

Listening to his son's narration, Changsun Wuji was in high spirits.

At this moment, as if he was decades younger, he laughed loudly.

The surrounding officials all knelt on the ground, congratulating in advance!

for a long time
The laughter stopped, Changsun Wuji swept across the crowd, "Everyone has been planning with me for decades, just for this moment, I hope no one will get in the way, otherwise it should be very clear what will happen!"

"Don't worry, my lord, this subordinate is only loyal to you!"

"I wish my lord, the great cause of unification will be completed as soon as possible!"

"Well, go down and make arrangements, and don't make any moves until my order is issued."

"Yes!"

When everyone left, Changsun Wuji frowned slightly and looked at his son, Changsun Chong.

"How do you explain to Lizhi?"

"She washes her face with tears all day long, and I don't know how to appease her. What's more, what Dad is doing is the top priority of my eldest grandson's family, and no one can obstruct it!"

There was a flash of tenderness in Chang Sun Chong's eyes, and then he became firm.

Who in the world would not want to be an emperor?

Moreover, if the great cause is completed, his eldest grandson's family will be famous forever!
"You should handle this matter yourself. Remember not to overdo it. After all, you are a princess, and you have to build a foundation for your future prestige." Changsun Wuji said.

"Yes, Father! But how long do we have to wait?"

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji's eyes were deep.

"Wait, wait until Qin Mu attacks Chang'an!"

"Father, if he controls Chang'an, wouldn't we have no chance?"

As he said that, Chang Sun Chong became extremely anxious, "Then Qin Mu's army looks down on everyone. Although our 50 elite soldiers are numerous, they may not be able to resist!"

"madness!"

"Who told you I was going to confront him head-on?"

Chang Sun Chong was stunned.
"Then, dad, what do you mean?"

"In this world, one person can't eat it all. The place we are in is big enough, and it's okay to become a king on our own. Then in Chang'an City, since Qin Mu wants to be emperor, let him do it, but my Jiangnan Road , the Yangtze River Basin and other places, we will definitely not let him control it!"

Chang Sun Chong frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji explained: "To be the emperor, he only wants one thing, and that is stability. If the continuous war does not require us to take action, there will be countless people in the world against him."

"So, dividing and ruling the world is the best result, I'm afraid."

Changsun Wuji sighed, the thoughts in his heart were self-evident.

Naturally, I was afraid that Qin Mu would not agree!

After all, this is a lesson learned
At the beginning, Li Tai went to Lingzhou to find Qin Mu in person, but in the end he was kicked out of Lingzhou City.

"Father, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to do this." Chang Sun Chong naturally understood what his father meant, and he also had plans in his heart, "Our spies have been paying attention to the situation in Lingzhou, and it can be said that the changes have exceeded everyone's expectations."

"The muskets equipped by the Lingzhou army can kill people hundreds of meters away, and it is said to be a new type of gunpowder. No, it is now called explosives. It is said to be the latest research and development. It only needs tens of kilograms. The gate of the city is directly destroyed. Blast to pieces!"

"Also, there is a thing called cement. In the states controlled by Qin Mu, fences and cavalry blocking positions are being built extensively. It can be said that the current cities in several states are simply to die from the outside."

"Those artillery, with a range of several kilometers, can kill dozens of people with one shell."

The more he listened, the more frightened Changsun Wuji became.

Unexpectedly, Qin Mu, who has always been regarded as the future general, has come up with so many things since he was forced to rebel.

Moreover, all of them are used in war!
It seemed that he really cared about the world, so could he be the first emperor?
