"Did you come back from the direction of Dengzhou?" Zheng Yu suddenly stood up from his chair and continued to ask, "What about the news, where is the news?" ”

The little guy directly opened the small bamboo tube tied under the pigeon leg in his hand, and took a few steps forward and handed it to Zheng Yu.

Zheng Yu laughed and opened it, but when he saw the content of the letter, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed wildly.

Everyone present is not blind, naturally saw the change in the expression on Zheng Yu's face, Zheng Changsheng 'groaned' in his heart, and the only daughter Hi had an ominous premonition: "Yu'er, what's the matter?" ”

"It's over, it's all over!" Zheng Yu didn't speak, and the whole person became depressed, "The matter was revealed, the people of the imperial court interfered with our business, and Zheng Rong and the people of Goguryeo were arrested red-handed...... It's over, it's all over......"

"What?"

Everyone present stood up, only to feel a cold wind 'swishing' into the body, and the back bones were even cooler all the way to the root of the tail.

"Patriarch, how is this good?"

"The people of the court will never let us go."

"This matter was not done by our Zheng clan, the patriarch has to contact the other major clans quickly!"

Everyone in the hall panicked, and for the imperial court, they were deeply afraid, especially for Li Yuanba, because the soldiers and generals of the Shenwu Guard were famous for their murder.

……

Regarding what happened last night, because of the problem of time and Li Yuanba's secrecy work was in place, except for the people who participated in the operation that night and those who secretly observed, outsiders really didn't know that something big had happened in Dengzhou.

Of course, for Chang'an City, it was not affected by this incident at all, and even the news of the Tang Dynasty's attack on Goguryeo Bihua City did not reach Chang'an City.

However, yesterday's events were too important. Just after returning to the Governor's Mansion to interrogate Zheng Rong, Li Yuanba personally wrote a secret letter and sent it to Chang'an in an urgent manner for 800 miles.

……

At noon the next day, the secret letter arrived in Chang'an County.

Yi Cheng sent this secret letter directly to the imperial city.

At this time, Li Shimin was dealing with some more urgent government affairs in the palace, and he didn't even have time for lunch.

"Your Majesty, in the direction of Dengzhou City, eight hundred miles of urgent secret letter!"

Because of the heavy government affairs of the imperial court recently, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and the eldest grandson Wuji and other important ministers of the court served in the three provinces.

Today's duty is Fang Xuanling. After receiving the 800-mile urgent secret letter sent by the post man, he came to the Liangyi Hall almost without a moment's stop.

"Oh? Is it news from Yuanba? Li Shimin mentioned the cinnabar imperial pen with some surprise, and said with some differences.

"Yes, there is a new situation in Dengzhou!" Fang Xuanling said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Your Majesty, you better take a look at the secret letter first!" ”

Liu Sanshui walked down from the side of the dragon chair and presented the secret letter to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin opened the superstition and looked at it with some confusion, and his face became more and more solemn from the indifference at the beginning.

"Smack!"

After a while, Li Shimin slapped the secret letter in his hand heavily on the dragon case, and roared angrily: "How dare you." How dare they? ”

Fang Xuanling was silent for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, before cleaning up Goguryeo, it's time to move the five surnames and seven looks!" ’

"Originally, I was going to keep them and give them a way to live. Since they are looking for their own death, they can't complain! ”

Li Shimin's expression became hideous, and he said, "Sanshui, you quickly go and take Li Jing, Eldest Sun Wuji, and Du Ruhui ...... Please come into the palace! ”

"No!"

Liu Sanshui lowered his eyebrows and responded pleasantly. Go down and arrange it.

……

In just half an hour, the eldest grandson Wuji and other important ministers of the court all appeared in the Liangyi Palace.

"Sanshui, show them Fang Cai's secret letter!" Li Shimin had a gloomy face. Pointing to the things on the dragon case, he said.

Like Li Shimin's reaction, almost everyone's face changed.

"Damn, these people with five surnames and seven hopes are really dead!" Cheng Yanjin roared like an angry lion.

Niu Jinda's face was not good-looking: "It's just a few grasshoppers that can be pinched to death by the court at any time, and they dare to jump out and shout!" ”

"Your Majesty, we have been preparing, do you want to do something to them?"

Li Jing was much calmer than everyone else, but what he said was more ruthless than anyone else.

Li Shimin patted the dragon case and said, "I called you to come here just to discuss this matter!" ”

"Great, I've waited too long for this day!" Cheng Yanjin was the first to jump out and agree, "Your Majesty, you must let me be the commander!" ”

"Okay, just your ability, although you are from a family, you can't write, and your martial arts can't compare to His Royal Highness King Wu, what kind of general should you be?" Niu Jinda did not hesitate to mock, "Your Majesty, let the last general go this time, right?" ”

Well, this is not even talking about the war against the five surnames and seven wangs, they themselves are fighting.

According to Li Shimin's original idea, he still wanted to leave these guys alive, but now it seems that there is no need for this at all.

Li Shimin was very annoyed by the five surnames and seven hopes, and in his opinion, he let go of these guys again and again, but they didn't cherish them, and they really wouldn't die if they didn't die.

Li Shimin did not answer the discussion of the crowd, but got up from the dragon chair and walked back and forth on the high hall platform a few times.

Later, he suddenly turned around and said to the ministers in the Liangyi Hall word by word: "You don't have to fight, I want to drive the expedition in person!" ”

"Your Majesty, never!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Fang Xuanling was the first to stand up and object:

"Your Highness, those five surnames and Qiwang are no longer like our Tang Jian. It was so powerful at the beginning of the country, but after more than a year, it has become extremely fragile, and it can even be said that it is a little lingering, and there is no need for Your Majesty to go out in person! ”

Du Ruhui couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and opened his mouth to persuade:

"Xuan Linggong's words are good! Your Majesty, you are a golden body, although the imperial expedition can boost the morale of our Tang Dynasty soldiers, but at the same time, it will also bring a certain amount of pressure to the soldiers. If the five surnamed Qiwang people jump over the wall in a hurry, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary losses, so ......"

When he said this, Du Ruhui bowed to the end and begged: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”

Other Wenchen, Li Jing and some military personnel also followed suit, bowed to the end, and shouted:

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Regarding the reaction of the ministers, Li Shimin also obviously expected it, after all, it is not a trivial matter for the Son of Heaven to go out of the capital and drive the expedition in person, if the ministers do not object, he should think about it carefully.

"Xuan Ling, Keming, get up!"

Li Shimin waved his hand to the ministers and said, "My royal expedition is mainly due to two considerations! This first point, as Keming just said, is to boost the morale of the soldiers; Another point is to tell the surrounding small countries that I can still move, and I am not old yet! ”

When he said this, Li Shimin exuded a sense of power all over his body, making people feel that he was not facing a person, but a son of heaven, but a fierce beast ready to attack.

Datang established the country by force, it can be said that one-third of the land in the entire Datang was led by Li Shimin to fight down, and dealing with the five surnames and Qiwang who have passed the gas is like playing for Li Shimin.

So after figuring this out, everyone fortunately stopped persuading, but the eldest grandson Wuji jumped out and said:

"Your Majesty, there have been many political affairs in the imperial court recently, if you leave Chang'an City, how should these many political affairs be decided?"

"I will keep the prince in charge of the country, but the prince is not too old, let him have some local affairs in the next few days, let him be familiar with some political affairs, and then see the situation."

When Li Shimin said this, a rare smile appeared on his face.

Let the prince be familiar with government affairs, it seems that the emperor wants to see the prince's ability, after all, the prince's age has also arrived, and now when His Majesty is as old as the prince, he has already begun to dominate the party.

In fact, this is also the smart side of the eldest grandson Wuji, he did not force His Majesty to express his position, but just said a fact.

Now that people have already expressed their position, the eldest grandson Wuji naturally has to behave.

Originally, Li Chengqian was his nephew, and it was reasonable for him to stay and help his nephew deal with political affairs.

But he thought of it, and someone was moving faster than him.

As soon as Li Shimin's voice landed, Du Ruhui stood up and said:

"Your Majesty! However, the old minister is old, and his health has deteriorated in the past two years, and he can no longer endure the suffering in the army, so please let Your Majesty allow the old minister to stay in Chang'an! ”

After pondering and understanding the intention of the Son of Heaven, Du Ruhui immediately stood up.

After all, although Li Shimin said that he had left Chang'an, if there was only one prince in Chang'an, he would still have to be a little thin first.

Even if you add the Empress Xian's eldest grandson, she is somewhat uncapable. The palace cannot interfere in politics, which is the iron law of the royal family of all dynasties since ancient times.

Therefore, Du Ruhui chose to stay, with him, the prime minister of the court, at least in terms of political affairs.

"The last general is also willing to stay in Chang'an and assist the prince wholeheartedly!"

Li Jing is not a fool, after Du Ruhui finished speaking, he also stood up.

There are people in charge, but what about the military?

Only when both the military and the government keep people in Chang'an City can they ensure that there will be no chaos in the city. After all, Li Jing is known as the existence of the 'God of the Army', with him and 30,000 right guards stationed in Chang'an City, who dares to mess around?

Seeing that the two important ministers of the Tang Dynasty in the court, Wen Yiwu, all came out to express their attitudes, and the eldest grandson Wuji's face was as black as a charcoal.

With these two masters, it is completely superfluous for him to come out again.

Compared with the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, for these smart courtiers, there are many things that don't need to be explained, they will understand it on their own. (To be continued......)
