After Zhai Changsun left, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin confessed his failure to Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, and this time he wanted to test the loyalty of the ministers, but he didn't expect that the result was really disappointing to him. He thought to Li Xuan and asked: "King Yong'an, now Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is only guarded by the left and right Qianniuwei armies, and most of the army is the old department of Hou Junji, a rebellious minister, King Yong'an, you are resourceful, what do you think I should do?" ”

Li Xuan said to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, now, Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, we must not go back rashly." If you go back rashly, once Hou Junji has two hearts, this will put Your Majesty in danger, and it will also put my Datang Sheji in danger. ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin said a little anxiously: "King Yong'an, but now in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the situation is tense, Hou Junji may control the left and right Qianniuwei army at any time, control the imperial court, if I don't go back, I'm afraid that Hou Junji really dares to hold the prince hostage, in order to order the world, and now the major wealthy families have a situation of imminent movement, once I don't return for a long time, my Tang Dynasty court is bound to be divided and chaotic, and my Tang Dynasty will also fall apart and fall into war again." ”

Li Xuan smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the minister just said that Your Majesty can't go back rashly, but didn't you say that we won't go back immediately?" ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin looked very confused.

Li Xuan explained: "Your Majesty, the political competition is strength. If His Majesty returns to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty single-handedly, His Majesty will inevitably be afraid of Hou Junji, who has two guards in his hands, but if His Majesty leads the army back to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty controls much more troops than the army controlled by Hou Junji, then why should he be afraid of Hou Junji? ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin asked: "The army? An army under my command? Where did the army come from? ”

Li Xuan pointed to the place on the map where the Tang Dynasty's Eight Guards Army was stationed ten miles outside Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Emperor Li Shimin suddenly realized: "If I control the army of the Eight Guards, why am I afraid of him Hou Junji? If Hou Junji dares to resist, I will lead the army of the Eight Guards to quell the rebellion. Destroy Hou Junji, a rebellious minister. ”

At dawn on the second day, Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty dressed in casual clothes of the Tang Dynasty, led Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, who was dressed as a bookkeeper, and Sun Wuji, the eldest of the Wenxuan Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, to the military camp of Duan Zhixuan, the general of the Right Jinwuwei, who was stationed ten miles away from Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Now the most elite Twelve Wei armies of the Tang Dynasty, the left and right Xiaowei armies led by Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde, are in Bingzhou, and they patrol the borders of the Tang Dynasty and Bingzhou together with Li Jing to prevent the invasion of the Turks; The left and right Qianniuwei army is in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. There are many old departments of Hou Junji in the army; The rest of the Eight Guards army was stationed in the suburbs ten miles outside Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and among the Eight Guards army, there were the left and right Weiwei armies controlled by the Li royal family of Longyou, the left and right Wuwei armies controlled by the Long nobles, and the left leading army and the left Jinwuwei army that had just been pulled over by Concubine Yang. Without any background and no involvement with the major wealthy families, only the army controlled by the Tang Emperor Li Shimin is controlled by Zhang Gongjin, the general of the right army, and Duan Zhixuan, the general of the right Jinwuwei.

And Zhang Gongjin, Duan Zhixuan, and Tang Emperor Li Shimin trusted Duan Zhixuan more. Duan Zhixuan was the personal guard of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin in his early years, and was promoted to general by Li Shimin when the Emperor Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan. commanded 2,000 people, and Zhang Gongjin was originally the old department of Wang Shichong, the puppet king of Zheng, before Wang Shichong was exterminated, he took refuge in the Tang Dynasty, the then King of Qin, the general of Tiance, and now the Tang Emperor Li Shimin. Moreover, Duan Zhixuan was born in a commoner, and he relied on the appreciation and promotion of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty to achieve his current position. It can be said that if there is no Tang Emperor Li Shimin. There is absolutely no Duan Zhixuan today, and in the same way, if the Tang Emperor Li Shimin encounters anything unexpected now, then Duan Zhixuan will inevitably be squeezed out of the Tang Dynasty by the major wealthy families and squeezed out of the high position of the right Jin Wuwei general; Zhang Gongjin was born in the Guanlong Hao Group, and his identity experience is not as innocent as Duan Zhixuan. And just after experiencing the betrayal of Hou Junji, Li Shimin first came to the camp of Duan Zhixuan, the general of the Right Jin Wuwei, and he felt that Duan Zhixuan's camp was more secure and safer.

Inside the tent, Duan Zhixuan was pacing back and forth. He was very upset inside. As he and his army were transferred out of Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, he didn't know the situation in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, compared to the other seven generals, Duan Zhixuan was even more lonely, he didn't have any big forces behind him, and no force was willing to tell him about the situation in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. His only support is the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, but Li Shimin's whereabouts are still unknown and he is in danger. He felt very lonely and helpless, he didn't know how the situation in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, would develop? He didn't know what he would do if His Majesty the Tang Emperor really suffered an accident?

At this moment, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin led Li Xuan and the eldest grandson Wuji slowly into Duan Zhixuan's camp.

Duan Zhixuan was secretly distressed, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted the Tang Emperor Li Shimin: "Minister Duan Zhixuan greets Your Majesty!" It's great that Your Majesty is back safely! ”

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty helped Duan Zhixuan up and said: "Zhixuan, when it comes to the Eight Guards army stationed outside Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, in my heart, the most trusted person is still you." You are my personal guard, you followed me in the former Sui Dynasty, accompanied me in the southern and northern wars, and saved my life many times, and blocked many swords, guns and arrows for me. No, as soon as I returned to the vicinity of the Tang Imperial Capital, I found you, hoping that you could assist me, and the army under your command could be loyal to me! ”

Duan Zhixuan carefully wiped his handsome position with his sleeve, and then, after inviting the Tang Emperor Li Shimin to sit down, he knelt on the ground and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the ministers can have today's status, all of which are given by Your Majesty." Everything in the minister is also rewarded by His Majesty, and now that His Majesty believes in the minister so much, the minister is willing to sacrifice all the troops of the Right Jin Wuwei. The minister only hopes to be able to follow His Majesty's left and right and do things for His Majesty. ”

After that, Duan Zhixuan handed over the talisman and commander order of the Right Jin Wuwei Army.

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty smiled slightly, took the talisman and command: "Zhixuan, I know your loyalty and bravery, and I also trust you very much and reuse you." Now, in your name, you have summoned the other generals of the Seven Guards to your tent, and I think it is time to meet them. (To be continued......)
