205. The Turks are coming

Empress Changsun's post-sealing ceremony became a beautiful talk in Kyoto for a while, and her elegance that day, as well as the beautiful and harmonious picture of heaven and earth when standing with the emperor, have become a memory that cannot fade in the hearts of countless people for a long time.

Countless courtiers who have seen that picture suddenly understood why His Majesty has been in love with the queen for so many years, and any man with a little heart and insight will not cherish it if he has such a wife, right?

The men sighed that the emperor and queen fit like a match, and the women were moved by His Majesty's deep affection.

The dignified supreme emperor, in the edict after the seal, it was written that the outside can be transformed into the people, and the inside can be the same as the political king, and at the same time give the title Wende, what a beautiful compliment......

The emperor's Qin Se and Ming, and the flounder were used as models by the nobles of Kyoto, and they used them to ask their husbands: Have you seen it? His Majesty the Emperor is so wise and martial, and he still has such a deep affection for his wife, if you dare to spoil your concubine and wife, I will definitely go to the palace door in person, knock on the drum of injustice, and participate in you desperately.

The gentlemen who are constantly compared by their daughters-in-law are miserable, but the template of the emperor's affection is there, and everyone does not dare to refute his wife on the surface.

Only those who are more irritable are really forced to be anxious, so they will blurt out: You want me to be like Your Majesty, and have a deep affection for your wife, I don't want you to have the grace of today's queen, but you must at least learn from her virtuous and sensible?

“......”

Don't talk about the hearts of these people outside, but inside the palace, after Li Shimin canonized the queen, he didn't canonize other concubines at the first time, and his energy was quickly invested in court affairs.

Since the day Wei entered the door, he has positioned himself very clearly, and he has never had a heart to compete with the queen for favor, as for how the emperor treats herself, she does not force it, everything is natural.

The emperor and queen are really smart people, and they see the thoughts and performances of everyone in the harem in their eyes and keep them in mind, and they will not treat people who really abide by their duties, know how to advance and retreat, and know the rules.

For this reason, there is no resentment towards the emperor who only crowns the eldest grandson, and he is divided into peace, and he raises his daughter in his palace in a proper manner.

But it is impossible for everyone in the palace to be Webster, and those who have a good family background but are willing to enter the prince's mansion as concubines are impossible to have no ambitions.

This is the case with the Yin family, the Lan family, the Wang family and others, and even more so with Concubine Yang, who is a princess.

When the praise of the queen from outside continued to reach their ears, their hearts were both ashamed and unwilling.

The eldest grandson is the emperor's wife, and it is natural to make her the queen, and they have nothing to be jealous of, but everyone is an old person who serves in the Qin Palace, and the emperor has no reason to forget about them after the seal, and they don't even give them a title, right?

Li Shimin is not so affectionate, there are not many concubines in his house, they are all old people who have been with him for many years, although he does not have the same deep affection for them as he does for his eldest grandson, but he has been entangled with each other, and a few people have given birth to heirs for him, and the basic affection is still there.

The reason why he didn't care about them was because after the lockdown, his attention was immediately drawn by a hundred thousand urgent military affairs.

At the beginning of August this year, the Turks, who had just sent envoys to sue for peace, once again tore up the alliance and launched a full-scale attack on the Tang Dynasty without any scruples.

Jieli Khan personally led 200,000 iron horsemen, quietly bypassed the Yinshan defense line, and entered the Central Plains.

The peace quest in early August was just their trick, and Jieli Khan was tending to the change of the Tang regime, and in the case of domestic instability, he used the obstacle method of taking the initiative to seek peace, led an army of 200,000, and prepared to capture Chang'an and seize the Central Plains.

When Li Shimin received the urgent war report, it was already 24 August, the third day after the closure.

At that time, the Turkic army had already reached Gaoling, Gaoling was only a hundred miles away from Chang'an, and if the cavalry sprinted with all their might, they could reach the city of Chang'an in less than two days.

The current defenders of Chang'an are only more than 30,000 people, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to resist the 200,000 cavalry of the Turks.

If you change to the emperor who is a little less courageous at this time, I am afraid that I will be scared to pee my pants.

However, for Li Shimin, the emperor who has shed a lot of blood all the way to get to where he is today, no matter how difficult the situation is, it is impossible for him to be afraid of retreating.

Even he was not surprised by Jieli Khan's rebellion, let alone angry.

After all, after dealing with the Turks for so many years, the Turks have done more than one or two things that have gone back on their word, and their promises are no different from farting.

His face was as pale as water, not irritable or angry, and while urgently giving an order to Li Jing, who was in Liangzhou Road and about 300 places away from Beijing, he asked him to rush back to Chang'an with his troops, and at the same time summoned the military generals of Wenchen to discuss countermeasures.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Turkic army of 200,000 has arrived in Gaoling, and the soldiers are only a stone's throw away from my Chang'an, you must all know the military situation, I won't say much nonsense, I just want to state one problem, if anyone dares to say to me at this time, move the capital, flee or something like that, don't blame me for being ruthless and unsympathetic."

"Now, I'd like to hear what you can do." After everyone came to the Chengde Palace, Li Shimin's eyes turned on everyone, and he slowly spoke, as soon as he opened his mouth, he cut off everyone's intention to move the capital and escape.

The courtiers who had this heart choked on his words and did not dare to speak, and the others who did not have such things could not think of any good ideas for a while, so they could only remain silent.

At present, the defenders of Chang'an are only 30,000, while the Turks have a full 200,000 cavalry, and the combat power of the Turks is already above the Tang army.

But the Black Armor Army is only a few thousand people, and now half of them are in the field, and now in the Imperial City, there are only 3,000 Black Armor Army plus more than 20,000 Janissary Guards, and it is impossible to block the enemy's 200,000 troops with such a small number of people.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, we can first send a part of the troops and horses to Jingzhou Road, flank the Turks, and at the same time spread the flags in the capital, the more the number of flags, the better, it is best to spread the flags inside and outside Chang'an City."

"Let the enemy see that there are 100,000 troops hidden in my city, and it is by no means empty and vulnerable to attack as they think." Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, and seeing that no one spoke, Fang Xuanling took the lead in taking over the conversation.

"Yes, Xuan Ling's idea is very good, not only that, the main general sent to Jingzhou Road must use brave generals, the better the effect of this battle, the more the enemy will be jealous of us."

"Only when the enemy is jealous of us, will they hesitate in their hearts whether they can conquer Chang'an, and if the enemy hesitates, they can buy us time, as long as there is time, whether it is to negotiate with them, or wait for the reinforcements to come back, it will be beneficial and harmless to us." Du Ruhui said.
