Chapter 144: Mutiny (1)

Countless people in the Northern Tang Dynasty were waiting for Li Zenan to give that will, and the tens of thousands of people outside Chang'an City were even more urgent.

Because they had defeated Guan Zhengxing not long ago, they were heroes, and if they wanted to continue their heroic deeds, it was best to break through the first army of Jinling, which was them.

Subsequently, their commander, who was also the commander of all the previous Northern Tang Army, Zhenwu General Wang Du, entered the palace, and they were all convinced that Wang Duhui would be appointed by Li Zenan, and then led them south.

But what they were waiting for was the news that Wang Du failed to assassinate Li Zenan and was executed.

It was a bolt from the blue.

A few months ago, on the night of the death of the first emperor, Li Xianyue, the king of Jin, was accused of "rebellion" and died, so the Northern Xinjiang army mutinied.

Among the tens of thousands of people outside Chang'an, there are also 10,000 or 20,000 Northern Xinjiang troops who rushed to protect Chang'an because they cared about the rise and fall of the country. For the soldiers of the non-Northern Xinjiang Army, it was they who finally experienced what it meant to be unforgettable, so that they suddenly understood the psychological state of the Northern Xinjiang Army mutiny.

First Li Xianyue, then Wang Du, and then who else will it be?

Dan's heart is still there, but it is folded in the hands of power.

This is a true portrayal of Wang Du.

As a result, the tens of thousands of people who were suppressed by the black, instigated by a certain prestigious general, besieged Chang'an City in one fell swoop, and wanted to ask His Majesty the Emperor for an explanation.

Chang'an was besieged, but it was not the Southern Wu army, but the Northern Tang army, which was really dramatic.

……

……

The dragon robe was flying, and Li Zenan was standing on the top of the city looking down.

On that bright yellow body, there was not the slightest trace of blood on that day.

Yes, it has already been changed, and many times, for the ruler, he only needs to change his clothes to push away the blood that was once stained on his hands.

Seeing that a large area of troops below was outside the city gate, he didn't look nervous, nor angry or anything, his gentle smile was like a spring breeze for ten miles.

He raised his eyes and looked at the sky in the distance, blue sky and white clouds, and the sun poured thousands of miles.

Today is a good day.

Beside him, there were dragons and forest sculptures, but there was no big celebrity Xu Jingyi.

I heard that Xu Mengshan, the second beauty of the Northern Tang Dynasty under Li Xiyun, is about to marry Liu Yinian of the Guogong Mansion soon, so Lord Xu is planning some necessary things.

This is his rhetoric, in fact, Li Zenan understands what this old guy is thinking, but he just pretends not to know.

Although the mutinous army obviously had no chance of killing Li Zenan, Xu Jingyi still had to be careful, he had to think about all the results, and he didn't want to stand by Li Zenan's side and become the target of public criticism.

Li Zenan doesn't care what he thinks, he only cares if that person can use it.

Wang Du is very useful, he can kill it when he runs out, Xu Jingyi, Long Jihe, Lin Diao, and everyone else is the same, as long as it is temporarily useful.

The city is full of crossbowmen, and the forbidden army in the city has long been ready to fight at any time, and the troops outside will not put their majesty in danger, and they will return to Chang'an anytime and anywhere to save the car, with more than 100,000 people who have no leader after the death of the king outside, it is impossible to easily capture the heavily guarded Chang'an City.

Standing at the forefront of the army was the general with high prestige, although the army held a grudge against Wang Du for being killed, but his instigation still played a leading role.

He hugged his fists towards Li Zenan from afar, and his voice was loud:

"Your Majesty, nothing else, I think, this matter, people here understand, people inside and outside the city understand, everyone in the whole world understands, I just want to ask General Zhenwu the ending: Why?"

"Why did he suffer such treatment, he is a hero who protects the country, he is brave and loyal, but in the end, it is such an ending?"

This is not only what he wants to ask, but also what the people of the world want to ask, and even those who are using bows and crossbows towards his capital forbidden people want to ask.

Li Zenan smiled, his expression was very natural, and he was not pretentious at all.

"Isn't it a matter of course to assassinate me and be executed?" He asked rhetorically.

"That's right, General Zhenwu is a hero, I admit that I will reward him and admire him, but his assassination of me is another matter, and it has nothing to do with how much credit he has."

He stood at the head of the city, facing the golden sun, his dragon robe fluttering, and he looked really high-sounding (although he used it on purpose, but I always felt that this word was so awkward to use here).

"Your Majesty, I don't believe it!"

"There must be some misunderstanding here, General Zhenwu is not such a person!"

"Something must have gone wrong!"

……

There was a large noisy voice below, those soldiers who surrounded Chang'an, respected Li Zenan, and also respected Wang Du, and were very conflicted in their hearts, but they just wanted to ask for an explanation, shouting one after another, hoping to find out the facts, not one-sided.

"So, am I wrong?" Li Zenan asked at them.

Although he has done a lot of things, his prestige still exists, he is still the one with the highest voice except for Li Xianyue, the king of Jin, and now he has also become His Majesty of the Northern Tang Dynasty, and his authority is beyond doubt.

So, under such conditions, how many people can shout at him: Yes, you are indeed wrong?

He's threatening his prestige and making a bet.

See if the soldiers below believe him or Wang Du when he and Wang Du are on opposite sides.

It was a tough choice.

Many soldiers were confused, they didn't know who to believe, their admiration for Li Zenan was absolute, but they also firmly believed that Wang Du was a good general who was loyal to the monarch and patriotic.

Just then, a voice shouted:

"Don't be deceived by him, that's how he treated His Royal Highness King Jin at the beginning, and now he is General Zhenwu, who is next!?"

It was a general of the Northern Xinjiang Army, he guarded Chang'an for the sake of this country, and he was no longer the emperor Li Zenan, because after the night in Chang'an, he was already desperate for Li Zenan.

The high-prestige general who instigated the mutiny of more than 100,000 people raised his hand.

Here, he is the backbone, so his voice gradually lowered, and they all expected that this backbone could talk about something to Li Zenan and get some results.

"Your Majesty," he arched his hand again, but it seemed that his respect for Li Zenan was not profound, probably because he was one of the very few people who were more sober here, and he had already seen Li Zenan's face clearly, "I think, this is not enough to convince the public, you better talk to us about something else." ”
