Chapter 284: Returning with the Army
The Ministry of Officials Examination Gong Lang Zhongcen Wenwen admonished Fang Xuanling: "Fang Xiang, now Hou Junji is having bad intentions, intending to control the only two guards stationed in Chang'an City, the capital of my Tang Dynasty, and harm my Tang Sheji. Fang Xiang, now that he is openly handing over the Zuo Qianniuwei army to Hou Junji's control, isn't this conniving at Hou Junji, messing with my Tang Dynasty outline, and harming my Tang Sheji? ”
Fang Xuanling smiled slightly, and said to everyone present: "Do you all think I'm old and confused? Take the initiative to send the army to Hou Junji? I ask you to think about it, if the Eight Guards army stationed outside Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, moves, and it is not the order of Zong Zhengqing and Cen Wencen, then who else do you think can mobilize the entire Eight Guards army outside Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty? ”
Everyone suddenly woke up and said in surprise: "Fang Xiang said that my Majesty the Tang Emperor has returned, and he mobilized my Eight Guards army stationed outside Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty?" ”
Fang Xuanling nodded slowly, indicating acquiescence.
Cen Wenwen suddenly said happily: "Fang Xiang, how are you sending the military power to Hou Junji, the second (er) minister?" This is clearly to send Hou Junji and his Zuo Qianniuwei army into His Majesty's hands. ”
Fang Xuanling smiled slightly and said: "Everyone, let's all get ready, once Hou Junji is captured by His Majesty, we will prepare to go out of the city to meet my Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." ”
In the hall of the Prince's East Palace, there was a burst of cheers.
Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Li Ke, the king of Shu, cried with joy: "My father is back, and I don't have to worry about Hou Junji, the villain, and I don't have to be afraid anymore." ”
The crown prince Chengqian is mixed, he is happy that his father and His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty have finally returned safely, but he is worried that his father-in-law and Hou Junji have been bold and reckless, and he has forced himself into a very dangerous situation.
Outside the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Hou Junji, the general of Zuo Qianniuwei, wore a black helmet. Wearing black armor and a horizontal sword, he shouted at Chai Shao, Cheng Yanjin, Zhang Gongjin, and Duan Zhixuan, who were at the forefront of the Eight Guards army on horseback: "You don't have an imperial edict, you dare to mobilize the army without authorization, don't you want to rebel?" ”
Hou Junji knew that in this counterinsurgency, he only had Zuo Qianniu Wei and a guard army in his hands. If you fight hard with the Eight Guards Army, you will definitely lose, but you don't have no hole cards, and you don't have no reliance, your reliance is the Tang Dynasty, and he represents the court to quell the rebellion. In his eyes, in the eyes of the entire Tang Dynasty, the Eight Guards Army, which is now slowly moving, is violating the edict of the Tang Dynasty. It's a rebel army, it's a rebel army. Hou Junji felt that he could not show weakness in his momentum no matter what, and he should use his momentum to suppress the Eight Guards army, and then as long as he killed a very small number of people who instigated and tried to rebel, the other coerced people would lay down their arms, and this rebellion would be completely put down by himself.
Chai Shao, Cheng Yanjin, Zhang Gongjin, Duan Zhixuan and others did not speak, originally in a brotherly relationship. Cheng Yanjin and Zhang Gongjin also wanted to secretly remind Hou Junji, but they didn't expect Hou Junji to be so arrogant. As soon as he opened his mouth, he even said that they were rebels. Cheng Yanjin and Zhang Gongjin secretly said in their hearts: "Bold Hou Junji, you don't want to think about it, how can the army personally mobilized by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty be a rebel?" Hou Junji's arrogance made Cheng Yanjin and Zhang Gongjin very unhappy. also made Cheng Yanjin and Zhang Gongjin very tacitly choose to keep silent.
Seeing that Chai Shao, Cheng Yanjin, Zhang Gongjin, and Duan Zhixuan did not speak, Hou Junji felt that he had suppressed the scene, and this inexplicable rebellion would also be completely pacified by himself, and he would soon control the situation in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. The crown prince was inherited and the Tang court was played between their applause.
And just when Hou Junji was daydreaming, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin slowly slapped his horse out, followed by Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, and Sun Wuji, the eldest of the Wenxuan Shilang of the Ministry of Officials. Tang Emperor Li Shimin held a horsewhip, pointed at Hou Junji, who was secretly proud, and asked loudly: "Hou Junji, why do you still want to be right with me?" Framing my army as a rebel? ”
Seeing the Tang Emperor Li Shimin suddenly appear, Hou Junji subconsciously got off the war horse, knelt on the ground, and said in a panic: "Minister, minister don't dare!" ”
After speaking, Hou Junji didn't say a word, knelt on the ground, trembling and trembling.
Tang Emperor Li Shimin showed a contemptuous smile, continued to point at Hou Junji with a horsewhip, and ordered the guards behind him: "Tie him up to me." ”
Immediately, a guard rushed forward and tied up the trembling Hou Junji and Wuhuada.
After that, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin raised his horsewhip and ordered loudly: "Enter the city!" ”
Lizheng Palace, the palace of the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty.
Empress Changsun sat on the throne, and the crown prince Chengqian and King Li Zhi of Jin stood on both sides of Empress Changsun.
The left servant of the Tang Dynasty Shangshu and the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu Xuanling stood on the floor under the head of the eldest grandson, and said to the eldest grandson queen with joy on their faces: "Queen Mother, the eight guards outside the city have moved and marched towards Chang'an City, the capital of my Tang Dynasty, and none of them have received orders from the major wealthy families. Lao Chen guessed that they were transferred by someone, and that person was His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty......."
As soon as the words were said here, Empress Eldest Sun suddenly burst into tears and said, "Fang Xiang, what did you say?" Do you mean to say that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has returned, has he really come back? ”
Fang Xuanling looked at Empress Eldest Sun and replied affirmatively: "Empress Niangniang, according to the speculation of the old minister, my Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty should be back." ”
Empress Eldest Sun was happy from the bottom of her heart, and said with tears in her eyes: "It's back, he's back." It's good to be back! Without him, the palace and these children, the entire Tang Dynasty court doesn't know what to do! ”
After that, Empress Changsun wiped her tears, cut her hair and sideburns and said, "Let's go, Your Majesty is back, let's welcome him." ”
Fang Xuanling dissuaded: "Queen Mother, please wait!" Zuo Qianniuwei general Hou Junji led Zuo Qianniuwei's army has been sent to the outside of the city, and when Hou Junji, a disloyal person, is cleaned up by His Majesty the Tang Emperor, the queen will let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lead a hundred civil and military officials to greet Your Majesty. ”
Empress Changsun was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was very inappropriate for her to take the crown prince Chengqian and lead the hundred officials to greet her husband, after all, she was the master of the harem, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and she could never show her face, take the prince Chengqian, and lead the hundred officials to meet the Tang Emperor, but only his own son, the Tang Dynasty Supervisor and the prince Chengqian led the hundred officials to greet him, which was the most suitable, and he could only wait for his husband's return in this palace. Because of his excitement, he almost made a big mistake, but fortunately, Fang Xuanling reminded him that he would otherwise have to suffer the impeachment of the entire Tang Dynasty.
