Chapter 379: Modao Crossing Cliff (2)

This is Dai Zhide, an elder among several ministers, replaced by Hao Chujun or Li Yiyan, those ministers with impatient personalities have long stopped asking like this, but will jump up.

"I was wrong," Li Zhi said.

After this change, I don't know what to say, only these three words.

Wu Zetian pinched his hand, walked out from behind the curtain, and said: "Dai Xianggong, it's not that you don't say it, you look at these military reports, each has its own statement, the front line changes three times a day, even Your Majesty can't make a correct judgment." Don't you see what Your Majesty looks like now, today he is still in a slightly better spirit, and he has been sick for the past few days. Dai Xianggong, state affairs are important. ”

Hearing that state affairs were important, Dai Zhide was silent for a long time, but still said: "Your Majesty, the minister has always wanted to say that Li Jingxuan did not allow Pei Shilang when he was in the ministry, and he did not allow Liu Xianggong when he was in the ministry. For thousands of years, how can the army be the second marshal? ”

"Yes, I also thought at that time that Li Jingxuan had been transferred to Qinghai, and he had worked hard and made great achievements, so he couldn't be demoted to deputy marshal casually. Thinking that he was close to the prince, he was sloppy. I was wrong. ”

"What's more, Your Majesty, you not only used Li Jingxuan to restrain you, but also used an inner servant to restrain you. His Royal Highness is the crown prince, and the others are all ministers, even if Li Jingxuan has the same credit as Li Ji, why not be a deputy marshal? Dai Zhide unceremoniously exposed Li Zhi's excuse. It's just that he is an elder and speaks very politely.

"I was wrong."

"It's wrong, if it's just an ordinary prince, why did Qinling send an army of three or four hundred thousand to encircle and suppress it non-stop? Even a Tibetan can see it, Your Majesty doesn't know? In the past, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was just a child, His Majesty put it in the East Palace in order to carry the training, and asked the heroes and Confucians to teach carefully. When I grew up and became an adult, although there were many flaws in what I did, many measures made the ministers happy and the people happy. However, His Majesty suppressed it several times. even forced His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go hunting in Guangchengze and Lishan to Taoguang. Thinking about the past, how did Emperor Taizong treat His Majesty? Now he has finally made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and let His Majesty be sent into the tiger's mouth. Your Majesty no longer has any fears, no longer needs to be afraid. At most, there will be one less virtuous lord in the Tang Dynasty and one more faint lord. ”

This is Dai Zhide, and the letter written by Qin Ling has not yet been shown to him.

If it weren't for Wu Zetian's early resolution, and the Qin Ling suddenly poked out the truth, you can imagine the reactions of other ministers.

"I was wrong."

Li Zhi only said that I was wrong, and Dai Zhide couldn't think about it, could it be that he escorted Li Zhi to Qinghai and knelt down to the West to plead guilty?

Wu Zetian saw that her husband's face had become bad, and said: "Dai Xianggong, Your Majesty can't regret it now, can you say a few words." The matter has come to this point, and we should try to save it. The reason why I called you to come is that Your Majesty confessed his mistake to the subjects of the world and posted this edict in various states and counties. The second is to convene all the ministers and discuss how to rescue the prince. ”

"Yes," poor Dai Zhide, an honest man, was deceived. Posting the states and counties is not for the emperor to admit his mistakes, but to deal with the Qinling. Rescuing the crown prince is not easy to say, and it has already been discussed with Pei Xingjian.

"Your Majesty, what else is going on?" Dai Zhide was a little anxious, and had to immediately discuss with various important ministers, since the prince had escaped, he had to find a way to rescue him, and there was no time to delay.

"In addition, I also asked you to go to Qinghai, find out the original story of the matter, escort Li Jingxuan, Cao Huaishun, Wang Gao, and Wei Beiwei back to the capital, and then announce a holy decree for the emperor, so that Pei Xingjian will be the deputy marshal of the Taohe Road March, and Heizhi Changzhi will be the governor of Shanzhou. Qi Biming temporarily took up the position of acting for Li Jinxing. However, Hei Zhi Changzhi ignored the orders of his superiors and took the soldiers out of Chiling without permission, and he would be punished and fight a hundred battles. ”

This time, I finally got the right person, but it was too late.

But this appointment also means that the war has not stopped and continues to fight.

Later generations praised Wu Zetian's twelve words, which cannot be praised, such as thrift, after she became in power, she didn't see the word thrift at all. For example, the army was not used on the side, but the war was almost never interrupted, and most of them lost badly.

Dai Zhide left the harem in a groggy state, and then called several prime ministers, thought about it, it was not enough, and summoned all the servants of the ministry, as well as the Zhengqing of the Nine Temples, and took out Li Zhi's guilty edict and various military newspapers and said: "Everyone, something big has happened, you see." ”

At this look, immediately became boiling water, and there was no shortage of happy people, but there were a few.

Hao Chujun immediately asked to see Li Zhi, and this matter had to be made clear. But the reward was that the emperor had fainted again just now, and the imperial doctor was healing. At this time, I can't see it, at least a month or two months, and I can't see the minister until things gradually subside.

Hao Chujun had no choice but to look at Liu Renliang and said, "Liu Xianggong, why do you implicate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the dispute between you and Li Jingxuan?" ”

Liu Renliang said ashamedly: "Hao Xianggong, I don't want to. At that time, the war was imminent, Li Jingxuan was difficult and constrained everywhere, and I was sick from anger. Later, His Majesty asked the prince to go, and in my thoughts, this person can make things difficult for me, the ministers, and Pei Shilang, but not for the prince. Who would have thought that the consequences would be like this? ”

In my heart, I was glad and uncomfortable.

I'm glad I was lucky to be back, otherwise I don't know how I died in front of me. At least if he was trapped on that desperate ridge like the crown prince, with more than 200,000 troops around, he would never have thought of such a tragic way to break through. What is uncomfortable is to make the prince his scapegoat.

"Then you have to think of a way to rescue the prince."

"I'll take a look," Liu Renliang brought all the maps, and the other prime ministers just stared at him, only he knew the most about military affairs. So far, there are not many people who value Pei Xingjian, mainly Pei Xingjian has not personally presided over large-scale battles, and he has no big achievements to show his hands.

After watching it for a long time, Liu Renliang took the battle report and map to Pei Xingjian and said: "I'm upset, and I can't think of a good way, Pei Shilang, you can take a look." ”

"It's not that I see, there's a map, you didn't pay attention," he said, pulling out the map drawn by Li Wei from the battle report.

"That's a good plan," Liu Ren said after a moment's thought.

In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing went out to conquer Tuyuhun, and then the party asked for it to be attached, and Tuoba also resigned and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but the imperial court was obviously not interested in this area, so it divided 32 feudal states between Jishi Mountain and Xiluo Mountain, which was regarded as a subordinate to my Tang Dynasty. That's all, there are no appointed officials, let alone business, the people of the Xu Xiang tribe don't know about it, but Tuoba Yici took his people to move to the vicinity of Songzhou and strengthened his tribe.

In fact, it is not easy to operate, most of them are still pro-Tuguhun, and even many tribes do not agree to Tuoba Yi's resignation. Therefore, in a sense, these thirty-two fetters are equivalent to castles in the air. Or like Li Wei drew on the map, Siberia is China, Oceania is China, this is not right, if you draw, the whole earth is still Chinese. It can be regarded as a brief entry into this area by the Tang Dynasty.

In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Songtsen Gampo conquered Bailan and the party, defeated the two divisions, and the army met at the foot of Jishi Mountain to attack Songzhou. This is the Battle of Songzhou, and he went away in disgrace. That's it, the Tang Dynasty has not paid attention to Bai Lan and the party people.

Now that Tubo has annexed Tuyuhun, this position is very important.

There is a condition that can be implemented, the purple mountain is more difficult to cross, except for the relatively flat plateau in the northwest of Songzhou, to the south, the terrain has become complicated and treacherous, either from the Tangbo Avenue into Bailan, as long as the army is strong, these two can be locked up, cut off the road from Tubo to Tuyuhun. Moreover, after the exploitation of Tibet, the party members finally understood the benefits of sheltering under the rule of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, the first premise is that the entire river meanders must be captured, first locked up from the upstream, and then from the downstream, first the party members, and then Bailanqiang. Rather, the prince must come back alive.

Pei Shilang said: "It may not be pessimistic, this time the prince went to Qinghai, although his military ability is not as good as that of the Qinling, he can be well prepared." ”

Hao Chujun said: "So how do we do it? ”

"I have talked to Your Majesty that if the prince wants to get out of trouble, it is difficult to guess where he got out of the siege, we can guess it, and we can guess it on Qinling. Anything is possible, so from Wangzhou to Suzhou, all the assassins are ready to do the rescue work. I went to Qinghai to see if I could respond from the side and disperse the forces of the Tibetans. Direct rescue is unlikely, they can only contain their army, and the fewer the besieging troops, the prince will have a glimmer of life. In addition, I ask you to put aside your prejudices, put national affairs first, and do not hinder me. Zhang Xianggong, what do you say? ”

The eyes stared at Zhang Da'an together.

It was his idea to send an envoy to supervise the army in the first place.

"I won't," Mr. Zhang replied. In the end, my heart was a little weak, although I was very happy in my heart.

……

The news spread all of a sudden, and the entire Chang'an City was shocked.

In King Yong's mansion, Gao Zheng said: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Yong." ”

"I'm still worried," Li Xian said, but he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart, and his body trembled twice.

"What is Your Highness worried about?"

"Two days ago, Dali Temple searched Zhang Guidong's property, and I was worried that my father would find out."

"Look at Your Majesty's guilty edict, it is clearly written on it, it is about Qinling bribing this person, so that the court will find out, and flee to Tibet. Now no matter what this person says, no one will believe it. Besides, when the money was given to him, His Royal Highness's name was not clearly stated, and how it could be used as evidence. ”

This is not to cover his ears and steal the bell, but he didn't expect that the Qinling would take action against Li Zhi, and under persecution, he would fight back with his own edict. Li Xian took over the edict of the guilty himself, looked at it carefully, and suddenly believed and doubted in his heart, it was so smooth?

"Do you think big brother will he escape?"

"No, the prime ministers of the DPRK and China have discussed, but there is no good plan. Although Pei Shilang was used to replace Li Jingxuan, Pei Shilang only said that he would send troops to respond, but he did not dare to say rescue. If you look at the map, the prince arrived in Wuhai, and if he fled again, it was really in Tubo. Not to mention the plateau, what will happen if thousands of people flee to the hinterland of Tibet? ”

"yes, I'm ashamed."

"Your Highness, those who achieve great things are not informal, and you can't back down at this time."

"I want to retreat, can I do it?"

"Exactly, but there is no rush at this time, once the whereabouts of the crown prince are unknown, after a long time, His Royal Highness can gather the ministers and sit and wait for the opportunity. But right now, Your Majesty is seriously ill, and His Royal Highness still needs to visit, filial piety is the foundation. ”

"Okay, I'll go." Li Xian prepared the car and entered the Daming Palace. Soon after the ceremony, a eunuch issued a decree to let him in. knelt down, then cried, looked at Li Zhi and said, "Father, your body is important." ”

Li Zhi just didn't say anything.

Xiao Liu's hand also made his heart cold, it was too poisonous, he couldn't see it, he was usually a very docile person, but Xiao Wu was stubborn from time to time, and he actually did such a thing. But the qualifications of the seventh are a little worse, and the eighth is young. He had no choice in his mind.

"Father, let the retainers massage you," Li Xian knelt down and came to the bed.

"I don't."

Li Xian felt that something was wrong, Wu Zetian beckoned to him and said, "You come here." ”

Li Xian had no choice but to follow the past, disgusted with this mother, but filial piety is great, and he cannot openly disobey. Besides, the eldest brother is dead this time, so he has to be calm and endure everything.

followed Wu Zetian to a palace, the eunuch opened the door of this small palace, and the room was empty, but there were a bunch of things, many gold ingots, and jewels and jade. In the winter sun, it shines brightly. Seeing these belongings, Wu Zetian was furious, picked up the gold ingot, and smashed it on Li Xian's head and face.
