Chapter 103: You've Died Eight Times
He said, "Fang Xuanling, come and talk about it." ”
Fang Xuanling had already learned the details of the matter with Bai Hu, Gao Yong and others in detail, but he felt that it was better to let Li You and these parties say it more convincingly.
He said: "Your Majesty, let's let His Royal Highness King Qi come to the story, they know the situation better." ”
"Your Majesty, I have asked to speak." Gao Yong hated Quan Wanji, and he had words in his heart, like a bone in his throat, and he didn't vomit or be unhappy.
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Gao Aiqing, you say, I believe in you." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gao Yong said gratefully.
He pointed at Quan Wanji and said, "Quan Wanji, you are really shameless." ”
Quan Wanji said angrily: "Gao Yong, how can you scold people? It's rude. ”
Gao Yong said: "I scolded you for being ungrateful and a villain. You still have the face to impeach His Royal Highness King Qi here without shame.
Do you know that if it weren't for His Royal Highness King Qi, you would have died eight times ago?! ”
He didn't bother to wait for Quan Wanji to answer, and then said: "Your Majesty, this matter, the minister alone can't say it clearly, can you let His Royal Highness King Qi's guard Bai Hu say it first, and the minister will add it later?" ”
Li Shimin said: "Yes." ”
Soon, the white tiger who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time was announced.
The white tiger was entering the Taiji Hall for the first time, and he was very curious and a little timid. He trembled and passed through the civil and military officials, and when he saw Li You standing in front, he suddenly became bolder.
After he finished saluting, Li Shimin said: "White Tiger, tell me about how Li You went to Tuyuhun." ”
The white tiger said: "Weichen obeys. ”
He bowed to Li Shimin again, turned his head, looked at Li You, and saw Li You's encouraging smile. Twisted his head and said:
"Your Majesty, the matter has to start more than a month ago, my prince heard from his friend Persian merchant Hamid that the political situation in Tuyuhun is unstable, and he is worried about the safety of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, and he is determined to go to the rescue.
At that time, the minister said to my prince that His Royal Highness the King of Shu was not very good to him, so why should he risk to save him.
My prince said that His Royal Highness the King of Shu is still good to him, and there is only a small friction between him and His Royal Highness the King of Shu. His Royal Highness the King of Shu is his brother after all, no matter what, he must go to the rescue. ”
Quan Wanji interjected and said: "It's a bunch of nonsense, and it will really put gold on the face." ”
The white tiger was interrupted by Quan Wanji, and he was in a daze for a while. He felt very aggrieved, and was about to refute Quan Wanji when Li Shimin spoke, and he said very unhappily:
"Quan Wanji, shut up."
was reprimanded by Li Shimin, Quan Wanji's face was pale and dumbfounded.
As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, the ministers all looked at Quan Wanji with pity.
Li Shimin said to the white tiger with a pleasant face: "You go on." ”
The white tiger said, "Yes, Your Majesty. At that time, Chen Guogong and the prince of Dongping County were in the palace of the king of Qi, and the prince of my family asked them to enter the palace to see His Majesty, so he took his ministers and set off directly. ”
Li Shimin said: "Yes, there is indeed such a thing. You go on to say. ”
When the ministers heard Li Shimin's words, they were all shocked and looked at Li You in surprise.
Baihu said: "Chen Guogong and the king of Dongping County both believe in my prince, and sent their own righteous son Hou Cheng and nephew Li Duan to follow our prince.
When Su Guogong and General Wei Chi heard about it, they also sent their sons Cheng Chuliang and Wei Chi Baoqi to chase after them.
There is also my prince's friend Hamid, who also set off with my servants. ”
There was a slight commotion in the main hall again, and the ministers didn't know that Hou Junji, Cheng Yanjin and others were so bold that they dared to let their sons and nephews follow King Qi to take risks.
Cheng Yanjin said: "I believe in His Royal Highness King Qi. His Royal Highness King Qi dares to take risks, and so does my son!"
Wei Chigong puffed up his chest and said, "So is the minister's son!" ”
Zhang Liang didn't speak, but when he saw his son standing there well, his heart was happy.
Baihu said: "When my prince arrived in Tuyuhun, he heard that a coup had taken place in Tuyuhun, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu was arrested.
The prince of my family sent Cheng Chuliang and Yu Chi Baoqi to Fuqi City first, and then took his ministers directly to Annoying Giant City to find Murong Bo.
The prince of my family promised to give Murong Bo 1.5 million guan and 300,000 quintals of grain, and Murong Bo promised to help rescue His Royal Highness the King of Shu, and after defeating Murong Zun, he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. ”
There was another "buzzing" commotion in the main hall. People were amazed that Li You was rich, and they were also amazed that he was able to reach such a favorable condition with Murong Bo.
Li Ke and Quan Wanji were a little dumbfounded.
Bai Hu continued: "My prince had no money, so he borrowed 1.5 million taels from his friend Hamid and entrusted him to send 300,000 quintals of grain to Murong Bo. ”
He was not stupid, he heard the chatter of the ministers, and hurriedly added.
Then, he continued: "Later, the prince of my family took his ministers and others to Fuqi City.
Behind...... The things behind are a bit messy, and the minister can't say it clearly. ”
Li You said: "Father, let the sons and daughters come to it." ”
The white tiger stepped aside, and Li You stood in the middle of the main hall, and he said: "Father, the son-in-law judged the situation at that time, and thought that Tuyuhun Murong Zun's rebellion was behind the Tubo people's instructions.
After carefully analyzing the situation, Erchen believed that the Tang army was far away in Longyou Road, and the troops were insufficient, and relying on the Tang army not only could not solve the predicament at that time, but would rush to send troops to push Murong Zun even more to Tubo, thus harming my third brother and their lives.
Erchen believed that Murong Zun was in a wait-and-see mentality at that time, and on the one hand, he hoped to get the support of the Tubo people. On the one hand, when he saw Hou Junji's army Chen Bing's border, he was also worried that the Tang Dynasty would support Murong Bo.
Erchen decided to seize his hesitation and first rescue my third brother and General Xue Wanjun and the Tang army under his command.
Therefore, Erchen sent Zhang Guigui, Hou Cheng and Li Duan with their generals to the city of Fu and Longde, intercept and kill the Tubo people, and cut off the connection between the two places. and spread the news that Murong Zun had taken refuge in the Tang Dynasty. ”
"His Royal Highness King Qi, let the ministers talk about the next thing." Zhang Guigui saw that there was such an opportunity to show his face, and hurriedly said.
Li You stretched out his hand and signaled for Zhang Guigui to speak.
Zhang Guigui said: "Your Majesty, my brother Youyou sent his ministers and others to intercept and kill the Tubo people, and told the ministers and others to intercept the Tubo people who came from the direction of Longde City, kill the strong men among them, and put the old and weak women and children back, and let go that Murong Zun took refuge in the Tang Dynasty. None of the Tubo people who came out from the direction of Fu Qi City could be let go.
The ministers carried out my brother's order, wore the military uniforms of the Tuyuhun people, and successively intercepted and killed several groups of Tubo people from the direction of Longde City. He also intercepted and killed a group of Tubo people who came from the direction of Fu Qi City.
Later, a large group of Tuyuhun people came out of Fuqi City, and they escorted the Tubo envoys to Longde City.
The army escorting the Tibetans was an elite army at first glance, and the march was extremely orderly and vigilant. There were more than 200 of them!
Chen, Li Duan and Hou Cheng only have a total of thirty people!
