Wang Zhongzhong is arrogant, above the court, he dares to openly threaten the emperor, how bold is this?

But seeing the court, the civil and military officials were indignant.

A few years ago, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Mutiny, killing the former crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji, forcing Emperor Gaozu to seize the throne.

The five surnames and seven clans are the main gate valves of the millennium, and naturally there is a lot of strength among them, but among them, the one who has made great contributions is the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

Although the Taiyuan Wang family, Qinghe Cui family and other family gate valves have contributed a lot, they are only auxiliary to them, but in the past two years, especially the Taiyuan Wang family has violated the holy will many times, and Li Shimin is not taken into account.

Li Shimin has long been dissatisfied with these gate valves, and knows that they are arrogant. But I thought that they dared to threaten themselves in court.

Li Shimin understood that Wang Zhong was asking Li Yun to blame, and he was simply giving Li Shimin a warning.

Warn him that although he is the Son of Heaven, he can't do whatever he wants, and let him know that the world is not his alone, but is jointly ruled by their five surnames and seven clans, don't break the rules, otherwise even if he is the Son of Heaven, he will not escape peace.

And Li Yun is just an excuse for the Wang family.

"Wang Zhong, believe it or not, I killed you!!"

In the face of Li Shimin's roar, Wang Zhong was not afraid at all, and said: "Li Shimin, I don't want to say it a second time, if you don't want to offend the Wang family, kill Li Yun, otherwise, you will also die an ugly death." ”

"You ......"

Li Shimin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth with hatred, but he didn't know what to say, he swore to eradicate these gate valve families, but now is not the time.

In the second year of Zhenguan, the situation in the court was still unstable, and only when the empire was truly strong was the real time for Li Shimin to show his ambitions.

"I understand, even if Li Yun doesn't kill people, you will definitely find an excuse to force the palace, right?"

The intention was seen through, but Wang Zhong was not panicked, it was strange that people like Li Shimin could not see through it, since he had said this, Wang Zhong was no longer angry.

In an instant, Wang Zhong's tone became tougher, and said: "Li Shimin, let me tell you the truth, if you kill Li Yun today, you may be able to spare your dog's life, but if you don't kill it, then I'm afraid you, the emperor, will also do it." ”

Hearing this, no matter how broad-minded Li Shimin is, he will be angry after hearing it, Li Shimin was furious, he stood up from the throne of the Ninety-Five Emperor angrily, and shouted: "Wang Zhong, do you really think that I am afraid of your Wang family?" ”

"Haha~~!"

In the Taiji Palace, Wang Zhong laughed wildly, coming today, it was expected to tear his face, their Wang family had long wanted to do this, and now Wang Yuanbo's death was just the fuse.

"What are you laughing at? Aren't you afraid that I will punish your nine clans? ”

Wang Zhong's harmless expression also became gloomy, and he said very unceremoniously: "Li Shimin, I'm afraid you don't have this opportunity?" ”

"What do you mean? Do you dare to rebel openly? ”

"An uncontrolled emperor, it's useless to keep you, if you knew this, you wouldn't have killed Li Jiancheng, at least he can make it difficult for you to sleep if he lives."

Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, he has deliberately disintegrated the power of the seven major families, and because the power of the five surnames and seven clans is intertwined, it has seriously restricted the development of the country.

Nowadays, many officials are members of the seven families, and few children from poor families enter the court, so Li Shimin will vigorously develop the imperial examination system and expand the number of enrollment places.

In this way, the power of the seven major families to enter the court as officials, select officials from the children of the poor families, and enter the court as officials by virtue of their scientific examination skills.

This is indeed a good thing for the children of the poor family, but for the people of the seven families, it is definitely an unallowed thing.

Now it is still the second year of Zhenguan, and there are more than 100 children of the poor family selected from the locality, if this goes on for a long time, the world will be out of control, and their seven families will be gradually put forward to the court as officials.

Therefore, they have long wanted to attack Li Shimin, and Wang Yuanbo's death is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only to save the face of the Wang family, but also to remind Li Shimin.

It is clear that Li Shimin has gradually lost their control and does not listen at all.

Wang Zhong said this, it was already a capital crime, terrible and fearless, and listened to Li Shimin say: "Come on, Wang Zhong openly provoked the imperial power, intended to rebel, took it down immediately, and beheaded it outside the noon gate to show the public, the Taiyuan Wang family does not respect the royal way, they are all unforgivable, pass on my order, and slaughter the Taiyuan Wang family." ”

Slaughtered all over the house, if it weren't for Li Shimin's extreme anger, he would definitely not say such a thing, the Taiyuan Wang clan is extremely powerful, if it is possible, it will not turn his face, but now, it is obviously impossible.

"Humph! Li Shimin, I dare to shout at the court, do you really think I am unprepared? ”

Yes, Wang Zhong is just the eldest son of the Wang family, even if the Taiyuan Wang family is terrible, he will never dare to threaten the royal family in public, let alone shout and denounce.

Originally, it was an interrogation of Li Yun's angry murder of Wang Yuanbo, but now it has turned into a-for-tat confrontation between Wang Zhong and Li Shimin.

This is such a dramatic change that people did not expect.

However, Wang Zhong's words are intriguing, according to the outside world's evaluation of this royal son, Wang Zhong has a conspiracy in his belly, and he is a terrible person.

When it comes to strategy, he will definitely not lose to Wei Zheng, and he is even more arrogant: "Guan Zhong Zhang Lianger, but if so, how can he compare with me? ’

Since Wang Zhong said such a thing, he came prepared, but what is it?

Just when Li Shimin and his hundred officials didn't know what Wang Zhong was prepared for, and actually forced the Tang Emperor to the palace, an urgent report suddenly came from outside: "Report~~, Your Majesty's major affairs are not good, and the war is urgent." ”

When Wang Zhong saw the urgent report, he also showed a rare smile on his face, and sneered: "It's really time to come." ”

Li Shimin also realized that something was wrong, and immediately asked: "What happened, you should tell me quickly?" ”

The messenger did not dare to delay, and he didn't care about panting like a cow, and said: "Your Majesty, the Turkic Jieli Khan led an army of 200,000 troops to line up on the north bank of Weishui and approached Chang'an City. ”

"What!!"

Li Shimin's tiger body was shocked, like a big thunderbolt on a sunny day.

"This is impossible, if you want to reach Weishui, you must pass through Jingzhou Road, how can the Turks of Wei Chi Jingde Town guard Jingzhou Road spare this place?" Li Shimin said.

Wang Zhong answered this question for him, and said, "How can such a trivial matter be difficult to live in our Wang family?" ”

"Sure enough, it's your royal family."

"Li Shimin, if you are a puppet emperor, maybe this Turkic army has already retreated, since you insist on opposing our Wang family, then I can send you to death." Wang Zhong said proudly, "Now that the Turkic army of 200,000 has arrived in Weishui, is your time of death coming?" ”

Wow!!

As soon as this news came out, the entire court was completely boiling, everyone was panicked, Weishui was only more than 40 miles away from Chang'an City, once the war started, Chang'an was in danger.

Li Shimin looked at Wang Zhong angrily, he finally knew where Wang Zhong's confidence came from.

"Okay, you are a royal family, colluding with foreign thieves and leading the Turks into the Central Plains, since you want to fight, then I will accompany you to fight to the end." At this point, there is no other way but to fight.

"Someone! put Wang Zhong on death row, beheaded him on a certain day, and sacrificed his head to the flag. ”

"Li Shimin, you dare to kill me!!"

"I will not only kill you, but also destroy you, and after I put down the Turkic rebellion, it will be the death of your royal family." Li Shimin said angrily.

……

Subsequently, Wang Zhong was put on death row, and once the two armies went to war, it was time for him to be killed and sacrificed to the flag, and Li Shimin, who was furious, couldn't care so much.

After taking down Wang Zhong, Li Shimin immediately said: "Spread my will, whoever dares to publicize this news in Chang'an will be killed!" ”

If the people knew that the Turkic army was approaching Weishui, it would definitely cause panic, so the right thing now is to block the news to prevent the spread of good deeds.

After the order was finished, Li Shimin asked: "What good plan can you have?"

"Your Majesty, right now, Jieli Khan has broken his alliance and raided Chang'an, and I ask you to come up with a foolproof plan to protect Chang'an." A minister said.

In that year, the Xuanwumen mutiny, Li Shimin and the Eastern Turkic Jieli and the Turki two khans formed an alliance, but now, Jieli reneged on the covenant, united with the Taiyuan Wang clan, sent troops to Chang'an, and wanted to replace it It is really hateful.

Now, when Chang'an's troops are empty, and the foreign army is far away from quenching the thirst, perhaps, Jieli Khan knows that Chang'an is empty, so he will do this.

"Why don't I want to keep Chang'an safe, but now that Chang'an's troops are empty, what can I do to fight the Turks? Even if we gather troops from outside, it will be too late. Li Shimin said.

The Turkic army lined up on the north bank of Weishui, only 40 miles away from Chang'an, such a short distance, the army was afraid that it would not take half a day to arrive at Chang'an City, and put their butcher's knives on their necks.

Li Shimin, who has always been brave and strategic, is also in a predicament, after all, the soldiers are pressing, even if he is the emperor, he can't help but panic in his heart.

"Wei Zheng, you have always been the best at strategy, but what is the strategy for retreating from the enemy?" Li Shimin asked.

"The incident happened suddenly, the Turkic army was menacing, and it was difficult to retreat from the enemy, and the minister had no solution for a while." Wei Zheng shook his head and said.

"Eldest grandson Wuji, what about you?"

Li Shimin turned his gaze to the eldest grandson Wuji again, wanting to get an answer from him, but unfortunately, the answer he waited for was: "The minister is stupid, even Wei Xiang is helpless, how can the minister have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Li Shimin's face sank, and he said unhappily: "Hmph! Usually, when you impeach a minister, you open your mouth, but now that the empire is in great trouble, you have nothing to say, and you slap yourself ten times. ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded again and again and slapped himself.

"Du Ruhui?"

"Hou Junji?"

"Zhang Liang?"

"Li Ji?"

……

After asking around, these people are Li Shimin's right-hand men, but the results are without exception, and in the end, his eyes fell on Fang Xuanling, and Li Shimin no longer had any hope.

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling, only to see an indifferent smile, and said: "The minister can recommend one person, or he can solve the difficulty of Chang'an." ”

Kindness?

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and once again rekindled the flame of hope, and he hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”

"This person is far away in the sky, close in front of him, he is His Royal Highness the Cloud King."

Swish!

For a while, everyone looked at Li Yun.
