Tiantang

Chapter 402

Chapter 410
Facing the emperor's anger and questioning, Ge Shuhan was slightly ashamed and kept silent.

As a feudal town of the Tang Dynasty, he has a high position and authority, and he is also the prince of the county. The royal family of the Tang Dynasty treats him well.But at this moment, the Tang court's general situation is gone and irreversible. For the sake of the prosperity and wealth of his descendants, Ge Shuhan had to join forces with Yang Guozhong to embark on a road of forcing the palace.

However, in the eyes of many people, this is a bright road.

And follow the emperor all the way to the dark, can only be a dead end.

Ge Shuhan blushed and sighed.

Seeing that Ge Shuhan was shrinking back, Yang Guozhong couldn't help stepping forward and shouting loudly, "Your Majesty, now that the general situation is over, Yang advises Your Majesty to know the time to advance and retreat, and to abdicate to the virtuous, so that the blood of Li Tang's royal family can be preserved. If you resist to the end, it must be One way of thinking."

"As long as His Majesty abdicates to let the virtuous, Yang can keep Li Tang's royal line in front of Zhang Xuan, and even, His Majesty can also get the title of Tang King, guarding Hedong, and hereditary succession. In this way, the world is very lucky!"

As soon as Yang Guozhong's words came out of his mouth, Li Yu suddenly roared angrily, "Yang Guozhong, you traitor! You were originally a gangster in the market, if you hadn't been supported by the former emperor, the supreme emperor, and my grace, how could you be where you are today? The thief doesn't want to repay the country's favor, but conspires against me to force me to give up my position! Is it tolerable or unbearable, Yang Guozhong, I will smash you, a traitor, to pieces!"

"I regret that I should have kept you until today! I regret that I did not listen to the emperor's wishes and did not kill you, a traitor, so that it caused today's catastrophe!"

Yang Guozhong was scolded by Li Yu for being worthless in public, and he couldn't help but become angry with embarrassment, "Yang is a gangster in the market, so what are your father and son? Your father, Li Heng, murdered his father and usurped the throne. Everyone in the world knows it. And you—— Li Yu, how did you ascend to the throne? Your Li Tang royal family, the public occupation of the son-in-law, the brother-in-law, the brother-in-law, the fratricide, and the loss of Gangchang, have long been outraged by heaven and earth, what else can you say?!"

Yang Guozhong had a ferocious face, and his voice was hoarse and roaring.

Just as Li Yu said, he was originally a gangster in the city, and when it comes to bickering skills, ten Li Yus are no match for Yang Guozhong.Now that his face has been torn, Yang Guozhong is still willing to care about the face of Li Tang's royal family.

Yang Guozhong's words cut through Li Yu's heart like a knife's edge, making Li Yu feel enraged and trembling all over.

And all the ministers above the city gate stared at Li Heng, Li Yu, father and son, and a group of royal concubines in front of the palace gate with complicated eyes.

Li Heng almost turned his back in shame and anger, while many children of the royal family bowed their heads in shame and were speechless.

Although Yang Guozhong's words were presumptuous and harsh, they were all true.

Ge Shuhan sighed softly, and took a step back slightly.

Letting Yang Guozhong say this, it seems that Li Tang's royal family is really unbearable, unbearable...

"If you don't have the right to fool the king, if you don't abdicate to the virtuous, you will die without a place to bury!" Yang Guozhong looked down at Li Yu and shouted extremely arrogantly.

Li Yu was trembling with anger, and pointed at Gongsunliang, Pei Mian and others on the tower, "Gongsunliang, Pei Mian, you bastards, I treat you well, how dare you betray me from thieves, I will kill you nine clans by thousands of swords!"

Gongsun Liang and Pei Mian felt a little ashamed, and bowed their heads in silence.

These two were originally Li Heng's princelings, and they had always had trouble with Zhang Xuan, but now Zhang Xuan's general trend, in order to protect themselves, they had to turn against each other.If you go with the emperor, there is only a dead end.

Li Yu gritted his teeth downstairs in the city gate, but unfortunately he did not pose any threat to the people upstairs in the city gate.

Zhang Xuan's army is about to approach the city, and almost all the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have turned their backs. In this Chang'an city, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are under the control of Ge Shuhan. where to go
The so-called slaughter of the Nine Clans by thousands of cuts was just Li Yutu's speed.

At this moment, he has the heart but no strength.

"Li Yu, I'll give you a quarter of an hour to think about it. If you don't announce your abdication, we will have to take you down and send you to Zhang Xuan's army for disposal!"

Yang Guozhong's presumptuous and arrogant voice echoed in the palace.Li Yu was so angry that his eyes went black, and he fainted on the spot.The scene was in chaos, the court ladies and eunuchs ran wildly and fled in all directions, while many concubines collapsed on the ground crying, and Li Heng's children, including Li Yu's children, stood there dumbfounded, unable to move. Don't dare to move.

……

……

After a few days, Zhang Xuan's army occupied Guanzhong, Qinchuan, which is [-] miles away.

Zhang Xuan's army advanced slowly and pushed into Chang'an.However, the army marched all the way, but it did not offend the people, and the military discipline was strict. Therefore, wherever the army went, the people lined the road to welcome it, and the scene of the people fleeing to the deserted fields during the war did not appear.

It is less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an.

Zhang Xuan straddled the horse and walked forward slowly, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.It has been less than a year since I left Chang'an last time, and returning to Chang'an again has changed the universe.As a power minister of the Tang Dynasty, I am now stepping towards the summit of the imperial power of the dynasty, truly under the heavens and above tens of thousands of people!

The emperor——Zhang Xuan's mind was agitated. He didn't want to go on the road of today, but the trajectory of fate still reversed and overlapped little by little, so that he was powerless to resist.

Since fate dictates it, then let it be as it is.

Take control of the power of the world, give full play to your ambitions, and build the most powerful and vast Chinese empire in the world.When Zhang Xuan thought of this, he was full of pride, and felt that his whole body was full of endless power.

Beside Zhang Xuan, Tian Kexin was still wearing a well-fitting armor and a veil, which had become her signature as a female military adviser.

She stared quietly at Zhang Xuan on the horse, and felt an incomparable mix of self-confidence, arrogance and awe-inspiring aura emanating from Zhang Xuan. She sighed secretly in her heart: It really is the combination of the world's luck. The real dragon emperor, the destiny belongs to him, who can stop him?

Zhang Xuan waved his hand abruptly and said, "Pass down the order to set up camp here today, and enter Chang'an later in the day!"

The marching Sima, Gongcao, Canjun and other military assistants waiting by Zhang Xuan's side at any time hurriedly sent orders, and the army stopped and began to set up camp.

Tian Kexin looked up at the sky, seeing that it was still early, she was a little surprised that Zhang Xuan suddenly proposed to camp.

"My lord, it's still early in the sky, why don't you march your troops to the city of Chang'an with such vigor as a tiger, and then make a decision in one fell swoop, and the world will win!" Tian Kexin said softly, her voice was very gentle.

Zhang Xuan glanced at Tian Kexin, and said calmly, "Chang'an is the meat on the chopping board. When to cook it is my business. Today I am exhausted, so I will camp here for two days."

After Zhang Xuan finished speaking, he stopped explaining and rode away.

The corner of Tian Kexin's mouth twitched slightly behind the veil, knowing that Zhang Xuan had other plans, but she didn't look for the bottom line, so she also chased after her.

Anyway, the current Chang'an is like what Zhang Xuan said, a dish in the palm of your hand, you can put your chopsticks down at any time, and there is no need to rush for a while.

Zhang Xuan guessed that the city of Chang'an was already in chaos, and [-]%——Courtiers like Yang Guozhong would coerce the emperor to abdicate, and then the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would welcome him into the city to proclaim himself emperor, so as to avoid a senseless killing.

If so, Zhang Xuan is happy to see it.If Li Yu wanted to resist to the end, he had no other choice but to use force to capture Chang'an, slaughter and kill Li Tang's royal family.But with Wan Chun around, Zhang Xuan was unwilling to do so unless it was absolutely necessary.

Because it would give him a reputation for brutality.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan decided to wait for two days to see what happened in Chang'an.

……

……

Zhang Xuan stood in front of the handsome tent, staring in the direction of Chang'an.The autumn wind was bleak, and the entire military camp was strictly disciplined and silent, except for the whistling of the Lie Lie army flag in the wind.

Nan Jiyun led [-] burly military men striding forward.These eighteen soldiers are all about the same height, all wearing the black armor of the personal guards, holding Mo Dao, majestic and majestic, they seem to be carved out of the same mold at a sudden glance.

"My lord, these are [-] warriors carefully selected by Nanba from the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Shence Army. They are all highly skilled in martial arts, powerful, loyal and courageous. In the middle, it is enough to protect the safety of the lord." Nan Jiyun clasped his fists, and immediately glanced at the Eighteenth Army Han.

Hearing the words, the eighteenth army man stuck the Mo knife in his hand on the ground, and his movements were uniform.They knelt down on the ground together and said with emotion, "We are willing to die for our lord!"

Zhang Xuan stared at the eighteen men in the army, nodded slightly and said, "What's your name? Come one by one!"

"Villain Li Wu!"

"Villain Sun Bao!"

"Villain Chen Shangbao!"

"The villain's grandson is a master!"

……

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, waved his hand abruptly and said, "From now on, give Er and others the surname Zhang, and follow me as the Eighteenth Iron Guard, named Yongwu Xiaowei."

The [-] soldiers kowtowed to the ground with tears of gratitude.

Zhang Xuan glanced at everyone, turned his head and entered the handsome tent.

Nan Jiyun wanted to select a few highly skilled soldiers to serve as his personal guards, so Zhang Xuan was understandable.It's just that Zhang Xuan didn't expect at this moment that the eighteen iron guards beside him would become the mighty Eighteen Taibao in the future, championing the three armies bravely, and each of them would be the enemy of ten thousand people.

Nan Jiyun waved his hands and said, "Get up. I'll tell you to wait again, stay by the lord's side, be careful, do your duty, and swear to protect the lord's safety. If the lord makes any mistakes, be careful and wait for the dog's head! And vice versa Said, if you swear to be loyal to the lord to the death, the lord will not treat you badly in the future, do you understand?"

"We swear allegiance to our lord to the death!" Eighteen iron guards bowed down and shouted loudly.

Nan Jiyun nodded in satisfaction, turned around and left.These eighteen people were carefully selected by Nan Jiyun from tens of thousands of soldiers. Each of them is outstanding in martial arts, and more importantly, they are innocent and loyal.In a sense, the most important thing for the confidant guards who stay by Zhang Xuan's side is loyalty.

Originally, Nan Jiyun led the guards to protect Zhang Xuan, but as Nan Jiyun's military rank became higher and higher, he could no longer stay by Zhang Xuan's side as a guard, so he selected the eighteen iron guards to replace him .
