"King Lanling, what do you want to do with your troops?" On the Chunming Gate, the Tang Emperor Li Longji shouted loudly, awe-inspiring and mighty.

Under the Chunming Gate, Xiao Qu bowed his hand and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister is not leading the troops to commit a crime, but he is forced to be helpless, there is a great grievance, and he wants to present it in front of His Majesty!"

I really don't know, what is the responsibility of my Tiance Army, and Your Majesty wants to kill my Tiance Army?

The rebels against Juan Lushan and Youzhou were deeply favored by His Majesty, but they did not want to repay the favor, but took revenge, and the wolf was ambitious, and rebelled, resulting in the shattering of mountains and rivers, the destruction of lives, and the killing of millions of Han people!

Why does Your Majesty want to forgive his sins, not blame the past, and let him attack my Tiance army inside and out? ”

Li Longji was depressed in his heart, no one has ever dared to question me like this, you are revealing the bottom of me, and many things are unspeakable, being questioned like this by a courtier, after this incident, even if this chaos is pacified, my authority will plummet!

But I still have to answer, I have been the Prince of Peace for more than 40 years, and I have never been forced to this point, if his eyes and anger can kill, he has killed Xiao Quzhi hundreds of times at this moment.

However, while being annoyed, Li Longji was slightly happy.

I didn't expect the Tiance Army to have such a strong combat effectiveness, and almost effortlessly annihilated 40,000 Youzhou rebels who went south in an instant, and also captured An Lushan alive.

But this political wisdom is so inadequate, it's just stunned. What he didn't want to do was to usurp the Tang Dynasty by force, but to run to Chang'an City like a child. Tell about grievances. Redress grievances and be reasonable.

"I have been deceived by villains. I was confused for a while, I was really ashamed, but fortunately God blessed the Tang Dynasty and did not make a big mistake. I know the grievances of the Tiance Army, and I also know the merits and loyalty of the Tiance Mansion.

Since the time of Taizong, Tiance Mansion has fought bravely and loyally for the Tang Dynasty. The king of Lanling made such a great contribution to the Tang Dynasty, how could I not reward the merit? I named the king of Lanling as the king of Yan, the captain, the marshal of the expedition, and the three divisions of the opening of the palace.

If the king of Liang is willing to be in the court, he should be the Zhongshu Order, the Wubu Shangshu (the military department Shangshu), the imperial historian, and the general leader of the court; If King Yan is willing to command troops abroad, he should be the envoy of the three towns of Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong. Hebei and Hedong Province interview envoys.

King Yan has made great contributions to the country, after the rebellion in Youzhou is quelled. Hebei is the fief of the king of Yan, and the king of Yan can open his own government, set up his own subordinate officials, hereditary replacement, and rest with the country! ”

Li Longji looked at Xiao Qubing under the city with blazing eyes, and secretly said in his heart, you should be satisfied with such a heavy reward, right?

At the same time, as soon as Li Longji's words came out, tens of thousands of people in the city were suddenly stunned, and the ordinary people and soldiers still didn't quite understand; More than a dozen ministers of civil and military affairs couldn't understand it anymore, this was clearly the king of the torn soil, and the hereditary title of King Yan and Hebei Province were packed and tied with a bow and sent to Xiao Quai's hands.

It depends on whether Xiao Qu's illness will accept it, or say that he will be fooled.

Xiao Quzhi sneered in his heart, and said that he was really reckless, and what was even more ridiculous was that you thought Lao Tzu was stupid!

In today's situation, Li Longji must have expected that I would definitely not be the prime minister of the DPRK and China, and I would definitely be willing to lead troops abroad. He named me the king of Yan, and the fief was the entire Hebei Province, and he opened his own government office, set up his own officials, collected taxes by himself, and retired with the country.

What is it? This was to separate Hebei Province from the territory of the Tang Dynasty; Also, the most important thing is that this is what Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Yang Jian, Li Yuan, etc. have done, and in the end these people (Cao Cao is his son Cao Pi) have all usurped the throne of the previous emperor.

If I accept it, isn't it telling the world that I want to be reckless, I will split the Tang Dynasty and persecute the king for my own selfishness; But Li Longji suddenly occupied the upper hand in public opinion, most people will think, no wonder the emperor wants to attack Tiance Mansion, it turns out that Xiao Qubing has long wanted to usurp the throne.

In this way, the problems that could have been solved in one day will take ten or eight years, and Guo Ziyi and the others will stand on Li Longji's side again, and millions or tens of millions of people will die!

This is Li Longji's thoughts, to save others with himself, throw out a big bait, and then reoccupy the righteous position, the trend of public opinion, not hesitating to kill millions of people, and keep this throne for ten years!

Again, the price is so big at once, it is clearly a plan to delay the army, and it is clearly to coax yourself; What's even more ridiculous is that he sealed everything that was previously given to Li Qi to me, which is obviously to separate me and Li Qi, but it is so obviously clumsy, when Lao Tzu is as stupid as a pig like Yang Guozhong?

Xiao Quzhi and Li Qi exchanged a look, the corners of their mouths pulled out a smile, Xiao Quzhi looked up at Li Longji, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister is the commander of the Tiance Mansion, and the Tiance Mansion takes it as its responsibility to protect the rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty, the peace and stability of the world, and the well-being of the people.

Those who seek by the ministers are only for Kuang Fu Sheji and stabilize the world! Since Tianbao, His Majesty has been tired of government affairs and has successively entrusted state affairs to Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong. Since Yang Guozhong became the right minister, he has monopolized power, squeezed out loyalty, misled the country, and corrupted the dynasty.

Nanzhao was defeated, and Yang Guozhong covered up the defeat into victory; All officials in the DPRK and China, some who are unwilling to attach themselves to Yang Guozhong, are all demoted; The rules of the court were completely corrupted by it; Yang Guozhong served as an envoy in 40 years, and in just a few years, he took advantage of his position to embezzle and accept bribes as much as 40 million; The drought and flood in Guanzhong, Yang Guozhong concealed it and did not report it, but collected heavy taxes;

Youzhou army rebellion, at this time of crisis, Yang Guozhong did not want to quickly quell the rebellion, but accepted a heavy bribe from Du Qianyun, recommended him as the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, resulting in the tragic death of 50,000 Hedong troops, Hedong was broken, Du Qianyun abandoned the city and fled, should have been beheaded; Yang Guozhong deceived His Majesty, accused Tiance Army, and continued to entrust him with important positions; After that, he should be jealous of the merits of the Tiance army, plot the wealth of the trading companies in the four seas, and bewitch His Majesty to get rid of the Tiance army as soon as possible.

One by one, the sins are unforgivable, and the minister implores His Majesty to issue an order to kill Yang Guozhong's extremely confidant henchmen; His Majesty appointed non-people, favored Lushan, led to the rebellion of Hu, the society was in decline, and he was guilty of himself at the moment; Your Majesty has been tired of political affairs for a long time. Why not pass on the crown prince. Enjoy with peace of mind. Isn't it beautiful! ”

If Li Longji's previous words were just dumbfounded, then as soon as Xiao Quji's words came out, everyone in the whole scene was instantly petrified, it was so stunned, fake and made people doubt their ears.

Time seemed to stand still, and everyone on the city wall looked at me, and I looked at you, and I was speechless in amazement. This is too bold and deviant.

After half a salary, the silence was broken by a thunderous shout, and there was endless anger in his voice: "Rebel and thief! Rebels and thieves! Xiao Quai, you keep saying that you are brave and loyal, but you say such a kingless and fatherless thing, it is simply a crime that cannot be punished! Shall I not kill you? ”

After a pause, Li Longji took a long breath and roared sharply: "The armies obey the order, Xiao Qu is sick and bullied the king, and it is a big rebellion. The crime of the clan was punished, and there was killing Xiao to get sick. reward 100,000 gold, seal the country; Whoever kills Li Qi, the king of Jianning, will be rewarded with 50,000 gold and crowned the prince of the county! ”

However, the 6,78 Tiance army has lined up in a phalanx two miles away from the Chunming Gate, and is ready for the battle, more than 10,000 defenders on the city wall, together with the Longwu forbidden army guarding Li Longji, more than 10,000 defeated soldiers under the city but none of them dare to move forward, Xiao Qu's reputation for 10,000 enemies is too loud.

At this time, the sun was setting, Xiao Quzhi and Li Qi were standing under the city wall, the long shadow was dragging behind them, and the golden sun shone on the young faces of the two, looking so radiant and radiant, but Xiao Quzhi's words made everyone on the city wall feel indescribable horror!

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the crime of the minister? In the past, during the Taizong period, in the early period of Gaozong, the emperor was at fault, or the emperor did something wrong, and some ministers dared to speak out, and the emperor would correct the mistake in time.

Therefore, at that time, the politics were clear, the people were happy, the river was clear and Haiyan, the monarchs and ministers were united, and the army and the people worked together.

Breaking the Turks, destroying Tuguhun, conquering Gaochang, destroying Goguryeo, Xue Yantuo, pacifying Baekje, pacifying the Green Mountains, and opening up the Western Regions, which battle was not a few enemies, which battle was not a brilliant victory, but the lives of the people of the Tang Dynasty were not affected in the slightest, why?

It is because of the co-governance of the monarch and the ministers, all decisions are made by the emperor and the ministers, and they are the crystallization of the elite wisdom of the emperor and the ministers. The emperor's mistakes, the ministers will immediately correct, if there are traitors, the emperor and other ministers will not tolerate him, so the country rarely makes mistakes, so it can win a hundred battles with a very small force!

At the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, he was also able to achieve the co-governance of monarchs and ministers, so there was a prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the national strength was getting stronger, and the Tang Dynasty soldiers were flourishing, and the situation of being passively beaten in the post-martial period was swept away, which is the reason.

However, since Tianbao, His Majesty is not only tired of the government, but also more and more arbitrary and dictatorial, everything is decided by a word, Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, or jealous of the virtuous, or mediocre and frivolous, is really a rare traitor in ancient and modern times, but His Majesty has entrusted him as the prime minister, entrusting state affairs!

Why? Isn't it because these two people obey His Majesty's orders in everything? These two are obviously prime ministers, but in fact, they are the puppets and agents of His Majesty! At the same time, His Majesty is drunk and dreams every day, does not think about the government, and does not want the prime minister to be too virtuous and prestigious, why not? In this way, you can rest assured and control well!

Therefore, His Majesty knows that these two people are jealous of their abilities and squeeze out the loyal and good, and they know that these two people are bullying and suppressing the government and controlling the government, but they still listen to it, so that the government is not in trouble, and Your Majesty is too much!

Besides, the rebellion of the Youzhou rebels this time is because His Majesty is not loyal and traitorous, and was deceived by An Lushan's rebel, but everyone in the world knows that An Lushan wants to rebel, but he can only watch and sit back and watch the catastrophe come, why not? Your Majesty controls the power alone, and if you can't listen to your opinions, no one dares to disobey Your Majesty!

In this Youzhou rebellion, the mountains and rivers were shattered, the society was in decline, and millions of people were killed and injured, the biggest fault was actually Your Majesty. What is the sin of the minister?

Since Your Majesty has been tired of government affairs for a long time, why does he have to control the government to the death, so that the state affairs are becoming worse. His Majesty passed on the crown prince, and he was a carefree emperor, and the ministers paid His Majesty 10 million yuan of money every year. What is wrong with this suggestion?

The minister made a blunt statement today, but he was really worried about the Tang Dynasty, what is this not the minister's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty? Emperor Taizong is in the spirit of heaven, and he will also agree with what the minister said just now, please think twice! ”

"You...... You...... You ......" On the tower of the city gate, Li Longji was completely out of anger, his whole body trembled, his face was red for a while, white and scary for a while, iron blue for a while, black and purple for a while, pointing at Xiao Qu's illness several times and couldn't speak, and finally he didn't catch his breath, his eyes were black, and he fainted.

……

After nightfall, a full moon rose into the sky, sprinkling a place of brilliance, about the dusk, His Majesty the Emperor and the King of Lanling a city gate tower up and down a conversation, His Majesty the Emperor was the King of Lanling angry fainting news, like thunder spread in Chang'an City.

All the people talk about it in a loud voice, or in a whisper, or in a flickering speech, or in a deep voice, and talk about it. I don't understand Xiao Quai's words, in most people, I actually don't understand it, I only know that King Lanling knocked His Majesty the Emperor against him, and he fainted with anger, and King Lanling is so bold.

Then there are some old people who have read some books, or some old people who have heard a lot of stories, will talk with great interest about how Zhang Jiuling or Song Jing fought on the basis of reason and made blunt admonitions when they were prime ministers, and at that time, the emperor was always able to accept correct opinions with an open mind.

There are also some students, as well as the children of official eunuchs, quietly discussing the truth of what Xiao Qubing said, and some are excited and inexplicable, the so-called co-governance of monarchs and ministers, doesn't it mean that courtiers have more power, and Li Longji has been using traitorous ministers for a long time to crowd out virtuous people, Xiao Quai's words said what he wanted to say but didn't dare to say, and he secretly exclaimed in his heart;

Of course, there are also those who say that Xiao Quai's illness is too blind, bullying, deviant, and bullshit. But most people are still talking about how this thing will end.

Many students who thought they were clever, such as Liu Zhi, Li Yi, Deng Jingshan and others, just couldn't help but shake their heads secretly, and Liu Zhi, who compared himself to Yiyin, Guan Zhong, and Zhang Liang in the world, couldn't help but sneer - this Xiao Quzhi and Li Qi are famous, but they turned out to be just two stunned young people with empty blood, it's ridiculous!

All the way to Chang'an City, in order to make a direct admonition, just to tell the emperor such a big truth, and then the emperor was stunned, and then the Tiance army was besieged, and as soon as Shuofang, Hexi, and Longyou troops arrived, it was difficult to fly.

Isn't this stupid? His Majesty opened such good conditions at the beginning, but he didn't accept it, and he had to put forward his opinion, but His Majesty was annoyed and angry, not to mention the previous King Yan, Yongzhen Hebei is gone, and now he has become a chaotic minister and thief, and everyone has to be punished.

Liu Zhi really wanted to open Xiao Quai's brain and see if it was water.

At the same time, Zichen Palace.

Li Longji, who was still furious, was still angry and scolded Xiao Quzhi at this moment: "...... This Xiao Quai, this rebellious minister and thief who deceived the king, I didn't know how to lose my mind at the beginning, and I actually used it so heavily for him! I was suddenly relieved of him...... Knowing this, he should have stayed in Chang'an and imprisoned him strictly...... This rebel thief, from the very beginning, has never surrendered to me, and he has been waiting for this day for a long time to commit rebellion! ”

Beside him, Gao Lishi looked at this master who had been with him for more than forty years, and just secretly thought in his heart: "King Lanling is not wrong, didn't Yao Chong and Song Jing often say nothing to you during the Kaiyuan period, don't you still have special respect for him?"

Speaking of which, you have been the emperor for a long time, and you are self-controlled, you can't listen to different opinions, and you can't tolerate the slightest disobedience from others......"

And beside Li Longji, Yang Guifei just couldn't help sighing, she didn't understand the affairs of the court at all, and she didn't care about it at all. She only knows that one is her husband and the other is her brother-in-law, and the two are now in trouble, and it is not right for them to help either side, and they will be sad in the end if they win.

If Saburo wins, according to Saburo's temper and the fact that he just kept saying "I will kill you" to get sick, it will be more auspicious and less auspicious; If he wins the disease, San Lang will pass on the crown prince if he can't say it, San Lang is so a prince, San Lang controls the world, and he has been strong for more than 40 years, how can he accept it.

How good is that?
