Chapter 261: The Loss of a Beloved Son

Li Shimin said, and at this time Zhang Qian hurriedly came in: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......"

Zhang Qian's face was obviously very unsightly.

He stumbled in and almost stumbled, so he staggered to Li Shimin, holding a note in his hand, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Yangzhou." ”

Li Shimin took it, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What does it look like to be so flustered." ”

As he spoke, he opened the recital, but at a glance, Li Shimin's face immediately turned blue.

He held his head up, and was silent.

Fang Xuanling felt the abnormality of the matter, and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened?" ”

"Yangzhou ......" Li Shimin took a deep breath before continuing: "Yangzhou Assassin Shi Wu Ming, together with the Yue King's left and right guards, as well as the Hussar Mansion, and the clans, it's the opposite!" ”

This news was like a bolt from the blue.

Li Shimin just wanted to cheer up and do something big, but who would have thought that this backlash would come so quickly.

As soon as he walked on the front foot, the back foot was reversed, obviously the rebels did not know that Li Shimin had returned to Chang'an, that is, these people were going for Li Shimin.

The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty advocates martial arts, and to put it mildly, whether it is a civil minister or a military minister, they are more ruthless.

The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, they won't eat it.

Since you Li Erlang let us not have a good life, we will invite you Li Erlang to eat the blade.

Li Shimin originally thought that with his prestige, these people would not be like this.

But who would have thought that these people would be so mad.

"Not good." Li Shimin suddenly showed remorse on his face, and he couldn't help but say bitterly: "I shouldn't have left Yangzhou in the first place, if I was in Yangzhou, these chaotic ministers and thieves, why should I be afraid?" At the beginning, I had secretly allocated the military horses of Qizhou, but now ......"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and continued: "Now Chen Zhengtai has only a hundred people in his hands, and this Yue King's left and right guards, plus hussars, and what other clans, the number of people is only afraid of more than 10,000 people, a hundred times the enemy, Chen Zhengtai will die." ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin's face was very ugly, while Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were confused, and they also felt that this was bad news like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

Once there is a rebellion, and His Majesty has just destroyed the Deng family, those dissatisfied forces in Jiangnan are bound to make a rebellion, and they killed Chen Zhengtai and kidnapped the king of Yue.

Although Fang Xuanling knew very well that the imperial court was still very confident in quelling the rebellion, the problem was that a war would be a huge catastrophe for the entire Jiangnan.

In order to destroy the Deng family, the imperial court will have to pay a heavy price.

It's just that what Li Shimin thinks is different, what he thinks about is Chen Zhengtai's safety!

Li Shimin said angrily: "Li Tai, Li Tai, this son of a!" It was Yue Wangwei who rebelled, and he could not escape the blame, and I would never spare him. It's Zhengtai...... I'm afraid that now, nine times out of ten, it has already suffered. ”

As soon as he said this, Li Shimin gritted his teeth, and he knew in his heart that he would not only lose his disciple, but also might encounter a huge crisis.

He knows very well that if his son is held hostage and causes chaos, then it will be a situation of cannibalism between father and son, and the war will consume the vitality of Datang. Not to mention, those ministers who were already disgruntled, would definitely take this opportunity to start agitating and planting all the rebellion on the Deng clan's extermination.

I don't know how many people want to see Li Shimin's jokes.

Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, you should immediately summon a large army to quell the rebellion......"

Li Shimin is surprisingly calm at the moment! Thinking of Chen Zhengtai's death, he couldn't help but be sad and inexplicable, there were tears rolling in his eyes, he took a deep breath and said: "Of course I want to put down the rebellion, I want to kill the traitors, and I want to drive the expedition in person!" Come on, find Li Jing and Cheng bite Jin......"

"Your Majesty......"

At this moment, a small eunuch outside hurriedly came in and said, "General Li, General Cheng, and General Zhang ask to see you." ”

Li Shimin: "......"

This is really Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived.

He had just put these names on his lips, where did he think of ...... And the man came.

Li Shimin didn't care about wiping the tears in his eyes, and only said coldly: "Xuan." ”

After a while, Li Jing and others came in, and Cheng Yanjin was the most anxious: "Your Majesty, it's a shame, Yangzhou is in rebellion." ”

Li Shimin: "......"

This is an express report from Yangzhou, which has just been delivered to Li Shimin's hands, although Yintai is there, it may delay some time, but after all, this is an urgent report, no matter what, it is impossible for you Cheng Yanjin to get the news first.

Li Shimin couldn't help but say, "How do you know? ”

Cheng Yanjin sighed: "The minister listened to the news from the exchange, at first I thought it was fake, anyway, someone brought the news from Yangzhou, saying that it was sent by a fast horse, and I didn't believe it at first, but then I saw that many stocks began to plummet, and then I felt that something was wrong, and I heard that it was not only stocks, but also IOUs in hand, and there were signs of instability." ”

Li Shimin: "......"

Message, is money.

Aren't the merchants who have been playing with stocks for so long? So as soon as there was an abnormality in Yangzhou, someone immediately began to quickly deliver the news.

This news was no slower than the official report, and sure enough, the person who got the news first had already guessed that Chen Zhengtai would definitely die.

This Chen Zhengtai is dead, will the Chen family pay back the money?

That's not exact.

Coupled with the other industries of the Chen family, no one can say clearly whether there will be any problems in the future.

As soon as anxiety starts to occur in the market, there will inevitably be people who will start selling to avoid risk.

Not to mention, a large number of people will also begin to take the IOUs in their hands and go to Chen's house to exchange copper coins.

Even if the Chen family opened up the supply and allowed the exchange, this anxiety had spread, and everyone couldn't care about anything, and in fact, the entire Erpigou was now in chaos.

Chen's father, Chen Jiye, didn't pay it, so he went home directly and searched around for news.

The third uncle of the Chen family was quite calm, saying that this was all someone who wanted to slander the Chen family, and our Chen family was kind to others, and Chen Zhengtai would be fine.

It's just that the more you refute the rumors, everyone was still suspicious, but now they believe it, so the chickens and dogs jump, and the trouble is even worse.

Cheng Yanjin and others also felt that something was wrong, their stocks couldn't be sold for a while, and they thought that something big was going to happen.

Chen Zhengtai's dog thing will not die sooner or later, but he is going to die at this time, isn't this a pit man?

So they hurriedly ran to see the driver, and when they saw His Majesty's appearance, they immediately understood that something was really wrong.

Cheng Yanjin's eyes were suddenly filled with tears, and in a pair of big eyes, tears flowed out, and he couldn't help but hiss: "My money...... No, my nephew Chen, he is so young, why did he suffer such a hardship, he died this time, and I don't want to live. ”

He beat his chest and fell to his feet, grief-stricken, looking like he was going to die for Chen Zhengtai.

These words actually made people resonate.

Li Jing, Zhang Gongjin and others also had a bitterness in their hearts that they didn't want to live, they struggled for half their lives, killed so many people, and finally saved some money, so they ...... Nope.

According to this downward approach, God knows how much money is left in the end.

That Qin Qiong's body has recovered recently, and at this time, thinking of Chen Zhengtai treating himself, after all, it is a life-saving grace, and thinking of Chen Zhengtai's suffering, he was at a loss for a while.

"Please Your Majesty immediately send troops to fight the thieves, and the minister is willing to be the vanguard." Cheng Biting Jin seemed to turn his sadness into anger, gritting his teeth.

Now, those traitors can be regarded as hitting the iron plate.

They have offended people.

If you don't dismantle these dog things, I'll write them upside down.

"The minister is also willing to be the vanguard."

"I want to be the vanguard." Everyone took the initiative to ask for help, and for a while, this hall was full of killing intent.

"It's urgent." Qin Qiong said bitterly: "The minister is willing to take five hundred elite horsemen and set off immediately, day and night, but it is important to save people first." ”

It is not so easy to dispatch a large army, so the best plan is to send a team of elite horsemen first.

Of course, there is a problem here, if there are too few soldiers, it is tantamount to a sheep into the mouth of a tiger, after all, these rebels are not fuel-efficient lamps, if they are just ordinary troops and hussar soldiers, but there are thousands of Yue Wang Wei, these are all elite soldiers.

Everyone has not forgotten that Chen Hu, who led the troops, was personally selected by Li Shimin for the king of Yue, although it is impossible to compare with Li Jing and others, but he also belongs to a battle-hardened general.

Five hundred...... It's a bit of a risk.

In fact, Li Shimin was sad and angry, and it was very unexpected to see everyone so excited, he never expected that Chen Zhengtai would have such a good popularity.

Seeing that many people's eyes were red, and Cheng Yanjin was even more eager to shed tears, Li Shimin couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

He even thought of Chen Zhengtai's many benefits in the past, and couldn't help but shed tears again, choking up: "I lost Chen Zhengtai, it is like losing my beloved son, I must not make any mistakes, Uncle Bao's injury is not healed, let Zhijie take 800 horsemen first, and I will lead the army to arrive." These rebellious ministers and thieves are indignant and will not be spared. ”

Cheng Yanjin listened, as if he was afraid that others would rob him, without the slightest hesitation, and immediately said: "The minister will choose the people, prepare the bags, and set off before tonight." Your Majesty, the minister is gone. ”

He's in a hurry.

In fact, what His Majesty said was exactly what Cheng Biting Jin's mind was. The loss of Chen Zhengtai is like the loss of a beloved son, no, I Cheng Biting Jin has many sons, which is closer than my beloved son.

He didn't delay for a moment, and hurried away.

At this time, Li Shimin said: "Summoning the ministers to discuss matters must not be delayed." ”

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling again: "The Ministry of Civil Affairs must urgently allocate grain and grass, and it cannot be delayed for a moment, no matter how much manpower and material resources are spent. ”

Fang Xuanling listened to it, his chin bowed, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the old man has followed His Majesty for so many years, and Cheng Yanjin and others are also old acquaintances, how can he look at it...... It seems that he has lived in a dog in this life, and his popularity is not as good as that of Chen Zhengtai, who is a teenager, to reflect!

After a while, someone came again: "Father...... Father......

But it was Li Chengqian who came, before the person arrived, the sound arrived, and in a moment, he ran in panting, and he didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, at this time Li Chengqian was still wearing an ordinary cloth clothes, he also heard the news in Erpigou, he shouted loudly: "Outside it is said that Yangzhou is reversed, tens of thousands of troops surrounded Chen Zhengtai, and Chen Zhengtai only has hundreds of guards around him, isn't it?" ”

Li Shimin did not give Li Chengqian an answer.

But Li Chengqian only saw his father's eyes red, and he suddenly understood.

Li Chengqian suddenly felt dizzy and his limbs were weak!

The people who were still alive in front of him a few days ago are now ...... Say no, it's gone?

He gritted his teeth, he had already lost his previous rebellious appearance, but leaned on the pillar of the temple in despair, looking dazed, and finally, he let out a long sigh: "Don't they all say that good people don't live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years?" It's all a lie, it's a lie......"

He felt like a pinprick in his heart, and the pain made it difficult for him to breathe.

In the past, I didn't seem to expect Chen Zhengtai to go to Yangzhou, it was life and death, I only felt that there was a senior brother by my side, which was the most common thing in life, and I felt that this person would always accompany me, but it was gone all of a sudden, and he ......

Li Chengqian was unwilling to accept this result, as if he had finally regained some strength, and said miserably: "Will you really die?" ”

He looked at Li Jing.

Li Jingnai is a general and knows everything about the war.

With Li Jing's insight, he is bound to be able to roughly calculate Chen Zhengtai's odds of winning, so ......

Li Jing just sighed at this time, and saw Li Chengqian looking at him pitifully.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very magical on weekdays, but Li Jing likes it very much, he likes such a high-spirited man, but the current appearance of the prince is something he has never seen before, Li Jing just sighed: "Your Highness mourns." ”

Li Chengqian's heart twitched, and he suddenly understood something, his face turned pale all of a sudden, and he suddenly whimpered and cried: "There is only one brother who is lonely......"

This cry is poignant.

Li Shimin naturally knew what Li Chengqian meant.

Among the princes, the only elders are Li Chengqian and Li Tai, and the rest are still young, the age gap is too big, it is difficult to cultivate feelings, and the discord between Li Tai and Li Chengqian is a well-known thing, and there is only one Chen Zhengtai, who is like a brother and sister to him, but now he is ......

Li Shimin did not blame Li Chengqian today, but only ordered Zhang Qian to help Li Chengqian out to comfort him.

For a moment, there was a sadness in this Xuanzheng Palace.

"He Chen Zhengtai didn't even have an heir left." Li Shimin suddenly remembered something, which made his heart even more painful, the bloodline of the Chen family was about to be cut off!

Li Shimin couldn't help but begin to fall into deep self-blame again, he knew very well that if he didn't leave at the beginning, maybe the situation would be different, because of his laxity and leaving, after leaving Yangzhou, he would meet with the military horses of Qizhou, and the military horses of Qizhou would naturally return to Beijing with him, if he was still in Yangzhou at that time, it would be enough to hold on to the military horses of Qizhou to enter Gaoyou.

Li Shimin sighed: "If there is really something, you must give Chen Zhengtai a son and inherit the incense of his Chen family." Originally...... I should match him with a good marriage, Wuji has proposed Chen Zhengtai's marriage several times, but I didn't take it to heart, I really regret not listening to Wuji's words. ”
