Chapter 283: The army moved
Soon, Chai Shao, Cheng Yanjin, Zhang Gongjin and the other generals of the Seven Guards Army came to Duan Zhixuan's military camp together.
Chai Shao, Cheng Yanjin, and Zhang Gongjin did not come alone, but each with a retinue of 300 guards. Now is the time when the country is unstable, everyone has to be cautious, even if Duan Zhixuan has been their friend for many years and has fought together on the battlefield, they don't dare to take it lightly.
As soon as they entered the camp, everyone saw that Chai Shao, the dignified general of the Tang Dynasty's Right Jin Wuwei, was not sitting on the handsome seat in the camp, but standing on the side of the handsome position. On the handsome seat in the tent, there sat a middle-aged man about thirty-two or three years old dressed as a wealthy businessman of the Tang Dynasty.
When everyone saw the face of the man who was about thirty-two or three years old, they couldn't help but be shocked that person turned out to be Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who had been missing for many days.
Tang Emperor Li Shimin smiled at the generals.
The generals knelt down and bowed and saluted, "Wait for your majesty!" ”
Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty did not immediately let the generals get up, but coldly glanced at each of Chai Shao, Cheng Yanjin, and Zhang Gongjin.
Chai Shao, Cheng Yanjin, and Zhang Gongjin also lay on the ground respectfully, not daring to move. They know in their hearts that at this time, whoever dares to get up without permission will be rebellious and powerless, and there will be no genius, then the loyalty of the person who gets up will be questioned by the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, and in the future, that person will completely leave the position of the general of the Twelve Guards Army, and will also face the deep jealousy of His Majesty the Tang Emperor at any time, and there will be a catastrophe of death at any time.
After staring for a long time, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin believed in the loyalty of the generals and asked them to get up.
The generals also breathed a deep sigh of relief, and they were all glad that their loyalty was finally trusted by the Tang Emperor Li Shimin. Now His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty only controls the army of the Right Jin Wuwei and the First Guard. It is the weakest time, and these generals, who also hold a large army, will threaten His Majesty the Tang Emperor, and it is also a rare time to coerce His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and it is the easiest time to think carefully, but from the front of the eyes. There are indeed benefits, as long as you want it, His Majesty the Tang Emperor will inevitably satisfy it in order to win him over. But in the long run, it will inevitably do more harm than good, if today's Tang Emperor Li Shimin is coerced and has to meet his own requirements, then in the future, His Majesty the Tang Emperor will have more opportunities to settle accounts after the autumn, and will inevitably repay the shame of being coerced today. Back in the day. Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin in the Han Dynasty, was in his own strong soldiers, and when Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty begged for himself, his attitude was disrespectful, and he took the initiative to ask to be the king of Qi, and Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty was forced to meet him helplessly, but since then Han Xin has aroused the deep jealousy of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and finally Han Xin ended miserably and was beaten to death by a stick.
Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty asked all the generals to stay in the tents. Always at your disposal. After that, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin ordered: "The Eight Guards army stationed outside Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, will be drawn together." Target: Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. ”
With the issuance of the order of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, the Eight Guards Army stationed in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, quickly assembled and marched towards Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
In Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the East Palace of the Prince.
In the hall, the crown prince Chengqian, the king of Wei Li Tai, the king of Shu Li Ke, the king of Jin Li Zhi, the king of Zong Zhengqing Li Xiong, the left servant of Shangshu shot Fang Xuanling, the servant Liu Xun, the secretary and supervisor Xiao Yu, the imperial historian Wei Zheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites Cui Gan, the secretary of the Ministry of War Lu Chengqing, and the Ministry of Officials Examination Gong Lang Zhongcen Wenwen all sat upright on the Huanghuali high-backed chair, with a contemplative face.
The news that the Eight Guards army stationed outside Datang City had moved. Let the hearts of all the ministers be heavy, in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Hou Junji, the general of Zuo Qianniuwei, is gathering the old department, preparing to make waves, and now the army of the Eight Guards outside Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, has also moved. Isn't this a house leak that happened to rain overnight? Why are all the bad things coming to Datang?
Prince Chengqian was the superintendent of the state and the nominal supreme ruler of the Tang Dynasty, so he had to open his mouth and asked Fang Xuanling: "Fang Xiang, what do you think you should do now?" The Eight Guards army stationed outside the capital of the Tang Dynasty had all moved without the edict of the imperial court, were they preparing to rebel? Fang Xiang, do you want to give an order to summon the people of Chang'an and the garrisons in various places to quell the rebellion? ”
Fang Xuanling looked pensive, and after pondering for a long time, he rebuked Li Xiong, the chief of the Guanlong nobles, and Zhongcen Wenwen, the chief of the Southern Shi Clan, with a stern attitude: "Can you give an order to the army under your control and let them go to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty?" I know Hou Junji's reckless behavior, you are worried, but the overall situation now is that my Tang Dynasty court cannot be chaotic, my Tang Sheji cannot be chaotic, you ordered the army under your control to enter Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, this is not to add chaos? Mess with me Datang Sheji? If you do this, you will mess up the country and the society, and you will have to bear the infamy of the ages in the future. ”
Zong Zhengqing Li Xiong and the Ministry of Officials Wen Xuan Shi Lang Zhongcen Wenwen stood up at the same time, bowed and saluted: "Fang Xiang, will we not know the situation in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty today?" Since we know that Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, needs stability, how dare we order the army under our control to attack Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, without authorization? Don't we know that it was a matter of chaos in the court and society? ”
Fang Xuanling looked at the two of them in surprise, showing disbelief.
Li Xiong and Cen Wenwen said in unison at the same time: "Please believe us, we will not do anything that is angry and resentful, and may cause my Tang Dynasty to overturn." ”
Fang Xuanling confirmed again: "Isn't it really your order? ”
Li Xiong and Cen Wenwen said: "We will never dare to give such an order, ordering the Eight Guards Army stationed ten miles outside Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, to open and attack Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty." ”
Fang Xuanling's face was pensive, he was wondering, who mobilized the Eight Guards army stationed outside Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty? If Li Xiong, the head of the Li clan of Longyou, and Cen Wenwen, the head of the Southern Shi clan, had not given an order. Suddenly, Fang Xuanling thought of a possibility, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but that glimmer was quickly hidden by Fang Xuanling.
Immediately, Fang Xuanling bowed to the crown prince and said: "The minister feels that although the Eight Guards army stationed ten miles outside Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, has moved, many generals are afraid that they have been coerced and instigated by others, so there is such an abnormality. The minister implored His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to order that the army of Zuo Qianniuwei under the command of Hou Junji, the general of Zuo Qianniuwei, would be put down as long as the people who coerced and instigated the generals were killed and the thieves were captured. ”
Today, Prince Chengqian is very dependent on Fang Xuanling's trust, and he is also obedient. He immediately ordered: "Order Hou Junji, the general of Zuo Qianniuwei, to lead the army of Zuo Qianniuwei to quell the rebellion!" ”
Soon, under the order of Hou Junji, Zuo Qianniuwei's army quickly assembled and drove out of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. (To be continued......)
