Chapter 19: The Fall of Ningzhou

Two days after King Qin handed over the sick fold, a great event happened, and the government and the opposition were shaken, and the person who started this major event was not a big man, he was Yang Wengan.

Xiaoxiao, who was not in Li Yuan's eyes, really jumped out of the sky, and this person actually pulled the flag of the Son of Heaven and captured Ningzhou in one go.

The banner of the Son of Heaven, when today, only Li Yuan is alone, and the prince Li Jiancheng does not even dare to covet it, at this time, a little person who was raised by the prince to rebel actually committed the great shame of the world and the taboo of the Son of Heaven.

However, General Zuo Wuwei failed to win the expedition, he was already seriously wounded, and there was absolutely no possibility of going to the battlefield, and the strength of Yang Shidao, the governor of Lingzhou, was by no means comparable to the combat strength of Yang Wengan who occupied the land of the two states.

The court was shaken, and when the country was fundamentally attacked, the Qin Wang Party and the princelings had already put aside their prejudices and jointly recommended the King of Qin to go on the expedition.

Li Yuan knew in his heart that his second son was actually in good health, but his connivance with the prince at that time really hurt the second son's heart, and he said that he was sick and did not want to hurt his heart as a father, and Li Yuan was also very moved.

But now that Ningzhou has changed, whether it is time to reactivate the second son has also become an indecidable choice in Li Yuan's heart.

"Report!" Just when Li Yuan hesitated in his heart, an urgent report of the eight-hundred-mile war came.

After several confrontations with the rebel Yang Wengan, the governor of Lingzhou was killed under the iron hooves of the rebels.

Yang Shidao died in battle! There is no one on the front line who can stop the rebel Yang Wengan! All of a sudden, the needle drop in the Jinluan Hall could be heard.

"Your Majesty!"

"Speak!"

"Please give your Majesty's order, all states and counties will make every effort to intercept the rebels, and order Your Majesty to order the King of Qin to go on an expedition." Fang Xuanling bowed his head respectfully, his face did not change, even in the face of today's saint, he was also calm, "First, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has made great achievements, and the King of Qin will definitely be able to make the rebels fearful, and second, His Royal Highness the King of Qin will be able to defeat the enemy and return peace to the world!" ”

"Please give your Majesty's order, King Qin will go on an expedition!" After listening to Fang Xuanling's words, the subordinate officials of the Yiying Tiance Mansion headed by Wei Chigong immediately knelt in front of the hall to ask for Li Shimin's life.

"Please give your Majesty's order, King Qin will go on an expedition!" At this time, even if the prince is a subordinate official, he can only ask for the life of King Qin, helplessly, if he visits the people, they will naturally have to fight for the prince, but in terms of war, the prince does not have this talent, and the prince's daughter's body, if there is some accident on the battlefield, it is not what they want to see.

Above the court, including in the heart of the Son of Heaven, it has always been clear, the prince is the main text, the king of Qin is good and martial, the prince governs the country, and the king of Qin is Anbang. The two complement each other, and Datang can also prosper incomparably.

But in fact, the crown prince is the main text, and the literature can determine the country, but he does not know that the Qin King has the inherent ability to secure the country, and he also has the talent to stabilize the country.

After receiving the news that Yang Wengan had captured Ningzhou, Li Shimin sent someone to invite Chen Feng, and asked him to wait outside the palace gate for the ministers of the Tiance Mansion. Fang Xuanlingfu told the King of Qin about the court, and the holy decree of the King of Tang arrived at the palace of the King of Qin.

Needless to say, it was to summon Li Shimin, the king of Qin, into the palace to discuss the suppression of the rebellion.

Discuss counterinsurgency!

These words fell on Chen Feng's ears, and naturally they smelled of political conspiracy. At such a critical juncture, instead of ordering the army of King Qin to go on the expedition, he actually wanted to enter the palace to discuss the counterinsurgency!

"After entering the palace, please pretend to refuse." Taking advantage of the fact that King Qin went to change his court clothes, Chen Feng whispered in Li Shimin's ear, and when Li Shimin cast a puzzled gaze, he nodded firmly.

Along the way, Li Shimin was thinking about Chen Feng's real intention of asking him to pretend to refuse, but he didn't know why.

As soon as Li Shimin entered the upper study, he was grabbed by Li Yuan's hands as soon as he entered the upper study, and earnestly expected him to serve as the commander and send troops to quell the rebellion.

Li Shimin was full of thoughts in his heart, his face was as calm as water, and he was about to respond, but he remembered what Chen Feng said before entering the palace, and he said: "Yang Wengan is arrogant and ignorant to raise troops in the state capital, and the capture of Ningzhou is only forced by the situation to fight against the water. ”

Yang Wengan was arrogant and incompetent, the capture of Ningzhou was already extraordinary, as expected, he should have been captured, even if he was lucky not to be captured, sending one of the lieutenants Chi Gong and Qin Qiong was enough to quell the rebellion, and he didn't need to deign to deal with an incompetent person at all.

The implication is that even if the prince chooses to rebel, he can only choose this kind of incompetent person, and any general under my command can capture and destroy him, on the one hand, he rejected Li Yuan's will, and on the other hand, he quietly belittled the prince, which can barely be described as killing two birds with one stone.

"No!" Li Shimin's words were conclusive, but Li Yuan retorted, "This matter involves the prince, I am afraid that it will be very widespread, my son will go to the battlefield with his sick body, wait for you to triumph, and make you the prince!" ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin understood what Chen Feng wanted to let him pretend to refuse. However, he did not respond immediately, after all, the man's fate had not yet been decided.

Seeing Li Shimin's hesitation, Tang King Li Yuan sighed heavily, "Even if he is wrong in a thousand ways, he is also my son and your brother, and his father will never kill him, so he will be appointed as the king of Shu at that time." ”

Shu and Chang'an City are far apart, and the terrain is remote and difficult to change. If Li Yuan really promised to kill the crown prince, Li Shimin would have to be more careful.

On the day Li Shimin led the troops to go on the expedition, he appointed Chen Feng to accompany the army, and for the common people, it was a great blessing to be able to go out as the military advisor of the King of Qin, which was also a strong proof that Chen Feng entered Li Shimin's political circle, and he was only one step away from becoming Li Shimin's confidant.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is allowed to take the position of the crown prince?" After pondering for a long time, Chen Feng finally asked.

Hearing this question, Li Shimin immediately shouted "Godman", and there was a lot of mystery in his eyes when he looked at Chen Feng, "Sir, does he have the ability to predict the future?" He expected that Chen Feng had already known that this would be the case that day, so he opened his mouth to persuade him.

"Your Highness." Chen Feng arched his hand and said.

"Neither is it an unknown prophet, how did the gentleman know?" He also did not believe that there was a person in this world who could predict the prophet, could it be that this person should be as wise as God?

"General Yang died in battle, His Majesty was in chaos, but I just guessed one of the possibilities."

Sure enough, there must be a person in this world who has a mind like a god, fortunately, the prince has eyes and does not know that gold and jade are mistaken for pearls, so this person can come by chance

In his own camp, if the prince reuses this person, he is afraid that if he wants to win the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he will have to work hard, and it will not be known who will kill the deer at that time.
