Chapter 316: The Verge (1)
Li Ji also echoed: "Marshal, the last general also agrees with General Su Dingfang's analysis." Dashuai's report that Xue Yantuo's Zhenzhu Khan Yinan's attack on the Tang Dynasty has been handed over for some days, according to the previous efficiency of the imperial court, the content of the report is so urgent, Xue Yantuo's Zhenzhu Khan Yinan's army is coming in an instant, and His Majesty the Tang Emperor will definitely order Dashuai to organize an army to prepare for a counterattack, but it's been so many days, and his Majesty the Tang Emperor seems to have forgotten this recital, without any palindrome, I guess, His Majesty the Tang Emperor has noticed it through secret channels, The content of the recital was untrue, and he thought that the handsome man had deceived him. My Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty must have been suspicious of Dashuai and misunderstood. Therefore, the last general thought that General Su Dingfang's analysis was very reasonable, and the marshal entered Beijing at this time, and it must be more auspicious than lucky. ”
Li Jing fell into silence, and after some contemplation, he said: "But we didn't plan to rebel against Your Majesty, rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, we only did this in self-preservation, and used such a strategy to deceive Your Majesty." ”
Zhang Baoxiang opened his mouth and said: "Dashuai, we all know what is going on? But will His Majesty listen to us? Once the marshal walks into Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty alone, will His Majesty still give you a chance to explain? Hear from you? Now Dashuai, you made a mistake, that is, you lost everything. The death of the clan is annihilated, and there are many people. ”
Li Jing was taken aback and asked, "Then, how is that good?" ”
Zhang Baoxiang said: "The handsome can excuse himself and not go to Chang'an." ”
Li Ji and Su Dingfang also nodded in agreement.
"That's fine." As he spoke, Li Jing wrote a letter to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin on the table about the old injury and the inability to travel long distances to return to Beijing.
A few days later, when the Tang Emperor Li Shimin saw the fold, he angrily tore the fold to pieces and threw it on the ground. In his heart, he was even more sure that Li Jing had a second heart. is about to rebel, and now even his edict, Li Jing has refused to carry it out. The old injury attacked, and he couldn't travel long distances to return to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, who did he Li Jing lie? Some time ago, the 400,000 Northern Expeditionary Army, which was still alive and vigorous, defeated the Turkic Jieli Khan in just a few days. Is he too sick to walk? Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, felt that Li Jing had deceived himself again, Li Jing had deceived himself repeatedly, he had disregarded (wanggu) his kindness to him and his trust in him, and he Li Jing must have rebelled.
At night, black engulfs the entire sky. During the day, the scorching sun hides, and the cool breeze at this time makes people feel very comfortable, making the night look very charming.
Night sky. The large, round moon hung high in the sky, the stars were shining brightly (cuican), and the white moonlight was draped on the ground.
Under the stars, except for the occasional croaking of frogs, the whole world is silent and cool.
The Taiji Palace of the Tang Dynasty Palace was brightly lit at this time, as if it was daytime, and the generals looked hurried. Striding into the Taiji Palace.
These generals who entered the Taiji Palace were all the old subordinates of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin when he was the King of Qin. These generals included Sikong and the king of Huai'an, Li Shentong. The right Xiaowei general - Wei Chi Jingde, the eastern capital stayed, Luoyang governor - Qu Tutong, the left Tunwei general - Changsun Shunde, the commander of the Xuanjia Army - Zhai Changsun and so on.
In the Taiji Palace, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, and he was not wearing the dragon robe he used to wear. Instead, he wore a helmet and armor, wearing the golden armor he wore on the battlefield when he was the king of Qin.
The generals entered the Taiji Palace, and as soon as they saw the Tang Emperor Li Shimin dressed like this, they knew that something big had happened in the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is going to conquer in person.
The generals had calm faces, and they were speculating in their hearts, who is all the people of His Majesty the Tang Emperor? Who deserves so much attention from His Majesty the Tang Emperor? It is worthy of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
When everyone arrived and sat down, Tang Emperor Li Shimin said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I would wear this golden armor again today, it's been four years, since the Xuanwu Gate changed four years ago, I wore it, and I have been locking it in the treasury, but I didn't expect that today, I will wear it again." But fortunately, in the past four years, although my body has been slightly blessed, this armor still fits so well. ”
After that, he looked at the generals.
Sikong and Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, asked Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, is there anyone with bad intentions and is ready to rebel?" That's why His Majesty put on this golden armor. In fact, Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, although we, the old generals of Your Majesty's Qin Palace, have no worries about food and clothing, and enjoy all the glory and wealth after Your Majesty ascended the throne, but this martial arts and kung fu have not been pulled down for a day, just waiting for Your Majesty to summon and use it. As long as Your Majesty can tell the names of those rebels, we, the old generals of the Qin Palace, will put down the rebellion for Your Majesty and capture and kill the rebels. ”
The generals also responded, hoping that Li Shimin would tell them who the rebel was? They are willing to arrest and eradicate the rebellion for Li Shimin.
Li Shimin did not answer, but took out two copies of the recital written by Li Jing and let the generals circulate it.
After all the generals saw it, they were all confused, and they all said that they couldn't understand it.
Li Shimin said slowly: "These two notes are written by Li Jing, the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Tang Dynasty and the general of the auxiliary country. In the early part of the report, Li Jing lied to the news that the 200,000-strong army led by the Zhenzhu Khan of the Xue Yantuo Department invaded our Tang Dynasty; The late time was that I hoped that Li Jing could return to Beijing, but he refused on the grounds that his old illness had relapsed. ”
Wei Chi Jingde asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, why did Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary state, lie about the military situation?" His Majesty summoned Li Jing, why did Li Jing refuse? ”
Li Shimin did not answer.
Qu Tutong seemed to think of something, and said in surprise: "Your Majesty suspects that my commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary state, are going to rebel?" Li Jing disobeyed His Majesty's edict, was he really determined to rebel? ”
Wei Chi Jingde exclaimed: "Li Jing rebelled, this is impossible, right? Li Jing wanted to be cautious and had little contact with his ministers, how could he rebel? If he reverses, it's a problem. Now he has a full 400,000 elites of my Tang Northern Expedition? ”
Hearing that the person who rebelled turned out to be Li Jing, the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Tang Dynasty and the general of the auxiliary country, all the generals in the Taiji Palace gasped. Li Jing's magic in using soldiers, they are all deeply impressed, Li Jing is worthy of the name of the first person in the Tang Dynasty military, the god of war in the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that Li Jing now has 400,000 elites of the Tang Northern Expedition in his hands, it can be said that anyone who fights against him will be afraid, Li Jing is now an almost invincible existence in the world.
