Chapter 110: White Lotus Sect Rebellion!
It was a long walk, especially when I was dragged along, and occasionally I was thrown to the ground.
Luo Bingwang doesn't have the youthful chivalry of the day at the moment.
Although you can see the outside world through the small gap cut in the sack, it is very limited.
But he can find clues from the clues.
For example, the tree as tall as a canopy, and the horse-tethered pillar in front of the inn.......
The clue is the point, the thinking is the line, and after the point is threaded, what you get is the answer.
In Anyang City, only the county government mansion and the rice merchant Zhao Mansion have such big trees, and combined with all this, he easily came up with the answer.
The Incense Burning Sect has a secret passage leading directly to Anyang City.
They weren't in Anyang City.
However, before King Luo Bin could investigate clearly, three days later, the Incense Burning Sect and the Baiyang Sect rebelled, supporting 200,000 people.
No biological mother, vacuum hometown.
This slogan resounded throughout the land of China.
With Anyang in Xiangzhou as the central point, it has covered about the entire territory of northern Henan and is spreading to the south with an unstoppable trend. In addition to the slogan of the lifeless mother saving the world, the White Lotus Sect shouted the most about overthrowing tyranny and re-establishing the Tang Dynasty.
The Emperor became a bargaining chip in their hands.
Legitimacy is debatable all of a sudden.
Because the rebellion came too quickly, the other counties and counties took the identity of the Emperor Taishang and surrendered to the White Lotus Sect in an instant, and there were only a few state capitals that did not surrender, but to no avail, the White Lotus Sect directly destroyed it with the tactics of the sea of people.
However, the farther west, the closer to the prefectures and counties of Chang'an, the White Lotus Sect has been frustrated and unable to move forward.
Therefore, the White Lotus Sect decided to cross the Yangtze River, seize the south, and establish political power.
For a moment, the world was shocked.
Li Shimin immediately ordered Li Xiaogong, who served as the governor of Yangzhou, to lead more than 50,000 soldiers and horses from Yangzhou and other Kyushu to cross the Yangtze River and crusade against the rebels. However, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, had an ambiguous attitude, and only intercepted the White Lotus Sect, and did not besiege and pursue, preventing the White Lotus Sect's conspiracy to enter the south.
At the same time, Li Daozong, who was in Datong, as the head of the march, also led the army to be stationed in Luoyang to guard against the White Lotus Sect.
All the ministers of the imperial court understood that although the White Lotus Sect claimed to have an army of 200,000, the real army was probably only 30,000 or 40,000, and these armies were mixed, and their combat power was worth considering, how could they be the opponents of the Tang army in a hundred battles?
These Li Tang clans are in the Emperor Baotai.
Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, and Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, are all state ministers, and Wei Chigong, Hou Junji and other retainers are different, they serve the emperor Li Yuan, when the Xuanwu Gate changed, Li Shimin acted perversely, although Li Yuan was imprisoned, but they always made their family affairs, just don't make the plot of killing their father, they can bear it.
But now that the Emperor Taishang has fallen into the hands of the White Lotus Sect and the situation has reversed in an instant, why do you still have to listen to Li Shimin's orders?
As the emperor, Li Shimin's legitimacy is already doubtful!
Although Li Shimin has a share of the credit for fighting the world, there is no doubt that Li Yuan, as the emperor, is the most important.
Li Yuan is the uncle of Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong, and from the perspective of the family, Li Yuan is the patriarch.
Datang has reached the point of falling apart.
......
The Imperial Palace, the Hall of the Two Rites.
"Confused, they are forcing me, they should have been removed from their posts in the first place!" Li Shimin's face turned blue with anger, and he angrily threw the folds on the case to the ground.
"Your Majesty is angry, the king of Hejian County must have something to bear." The eldest grandson Wuji persuaded.
In the past, he had already attacked these Li Tang clans, but in the current situation, he couldn't.
If you are a little careless, the words will fall into the ears of those feudal officials, and it is difficult to guarantee that you will not have other thoughts.
The Li Tang clan is especially so!
In the ninth year of Wude, Li Shimin did not do it authentically, and after killing Li Ai, the king of Lujiang, his favorite concubines were all included in the harem.
Li Ai entered King Qin in Beijing because of Li Yuan's secret order.
Scold! Being such a person, how good can those Li Tang clansmen's impression of Li Shimin be?
The future princess Wencheng, Li Shimin didn't want his daughter to marry to Tubo, so he chose one from Li Daozong's daughter.
Weaken the clan and strengthen the center. This is what Li Shimin has been doing.
"Li Ji said that he was sick, Li Jing told the old man to return to his hometown, and there was no one in the court who could take command of the expedition." Li Shimin said angrily, he pointed at this group of civil servants and scolded: "Do you want me to personally put on armor and go into battle?" ”
Although Qin Shubao, Hou Junji and others can also be handsome, they are undoubtedly a grade behind Li Jing and Li Ji.
In vain, there was no handsome to send.
Li Jing and Li Ji are as good as monkeys, and when it comes to this kind of thing, they can avoid it.
Even afterwards, can Li Shimin still ask them about their sins?
"Your Majesty, the White Lotus Sect army has been frustrated in Yangzhou, and it has turned its edge and gone to Luoyang, as long as Luoyang is a moment, I am afraid it will be too late by then." Fang Xuanling said worriedly.
Since ancient times, if you want to become a national power, then you must take Chang'an, Luoyang, and Nanjing as the capital, if the White Lotus Sect captures Luoyang and Emperor Taishang re-ascends the throne as emperor, I am afraid that this long-maintained balance will be broken in an instant.
Moreover, the current Luoyang is not a small county town in later generations, but as the eastern capital, it is the accompanying capital of the Tang Dynasty, and its importance is self-evident.
The capture of Luoyang is equivalent to half of the country has been sent to the hands of the White Lotus Sect.
This importance is not comparable to Yecheng (Anyang).
"I know, but ...... Who is in charge now? Li Shimin sighed.
He wanted to go on the expedition, but he was afraid that he would be rebelled as soon as he left Chang'an City, so he could only sit in person, but if he sent other generals, it was easy to be recruited, and the old ministers of the Qin Wangfu In addition to these civil ministers, those generals who led the army to fight could not be called the top.
Before the ministers could start to suggest, an urgent report suddenly came from outside the court.
"Eight hundred miles of urgency, King Wu led more than 10,000 cavalry troops from Xiangzhou to the south, and has arrived in Luoyang City." The messenger knelt on the ground.
"Ke'er!" Li Shimin's eyebrows froze, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "Who asked him to send troops?" Have I made a decree? Unfilial son! Unfilial son! ”
His tone grew more and more intense.
"Your Majesty is angry, and misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking. King Wu guarded Xiangzhou, although he disobeyed the holy decree and sent troops south, but the matter was prioritized, and now His Majesty can rely on the people who can be trusted, but the princes, according to the minister's opinion, His Majesty should now order King Wu as the head of the march, Lu Guogong, Lu Guogong, Hu Guogong and others as the deputy head of the march, and lead the twelve guards to crusade against the thieves! ”
Du Ruhui coughed a few times, and his face was a little pale.
Since he was awakened by the Emperor Taishang's four sentences of Hengqu last year, he has cultivated for a few months and returned to the court, although his body is still very weak, but it is better than before.
"Send King Wu as the head of the march......" Li Shimin suddenly fell into deep thought.
The marching commander is roughly equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the three armies, commanding the three armies, and generally this position is held by the royal family.
When Li Shimin was crusading against Wang Shichong and others in Luoyang, he also served as the head of the march on the East Road.
