Chapter 34 On the eve of the Great War, it was a mess

"This ......" the corners of Lao Li's mouth twitched, and he sighed deeply, "It seems that the same problem is also in the people who are officials like us!" Old Sun, I should encourage myself! ”

"Huh? Yes, yes! Brother Li said yes! Lao Sun's face twitched, and his expression was very uncomfortable, "Now the ministers, most of them have left behind the profligacy and criticism of the previous dynasty, and it is indeed time to rectify it!" I will exhort myself! ”

"Lao Li, Lao Sun, give you a word!" Li Ce smiled indifferently, "If the court is extravagant, the people will be extravagant, and if the court is honest, the people will obey the law!" Law-abiding people, honest and honest officials, so, why is Datang not strong? ”

"Makes sense, it makes sense!" Lao Li looked excited, and with a big hand 'bang', he slapped it on the table, "If the officials in the court are rotten, the people of Datang will be rotten!" Since ancient times, how many imperial courts have perished because of extravagance and corruption? I'm waiting, we should go to the emperor and make a decision as soon as possible! ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Li, you're right!" The fat on Lao Sun's face twitched.

"Even so, the two of you still have to pay for this table full of good food!" Li Ce's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled.

"This ......" the corners of Lao Li's mouth twitched, and he sighed deeply, "Lao Sun, you go and call two subordinates, so many things, the two of us will definitely not be able to eat them, let them help us bring them into the palace!" ”

"This ...... Not quite right? ”

"What's so bad? Since we want to admonish the emperor and shape the style of honesty and honesty of hundreds of officials, we should start from ourselves and from this moment! Lao Li frowned, and his face was angry, "Unless, you have also embezzled a lot!" ”

"No, no!" Lao Sun hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, "Brother Li, I'll go now!" I'll go! ”

During the conversation, Lao Sun strode out of the store!

"Little shopkeeper, I have always had a question in my heart, I want to ask you!" Lao Li's expression changed instantly, his eyes were bright, "Are you really surnamed Li?" ”

"Look at you, nervous, scared me, I thought something was wrong!" Li Ce smiled indifferently, "If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname, my surname is Li Mingce!" Lao Li, this is not a confidential matter! Why do you want to know so much? ”

"No, it's nothing, it's just that the little shopkeeper helped me three times and twice, I want to know the name of the little shopkeeper!" Lao Li smiled, but the expression on his face became more excited, "Last time, little brother Pei Qing, said that you fled from Taiyuan, is that really the case?" ”

"That's right, we originally lived in Taiyuan, what's wrong?" Li Ce frowned slightly, his eyes were like eagles, "What do you want to ask?" Do you know anything by asking? ”

"Huh? No, there are a lot of Taiyuan Li surnames! Lao Li's cheeks twitched, "I have been in Taiyuan for a while, and I have some understanding of the surname Li in Taiyuan, so I will ask casually!" ”

"Just ask?" Li Ce frowned and asked.

This guy, when he answered, was vague, and when he asked, he was so detailed!

What the hell was he trying to ask?

He asked like this, as if he were asking about my background!

Does he, know my background?

How is this possible, I don't even know my background myself, how can he know!

"It's really just a casual question!" Lao Li smiled innocently, picked up a mung bean cake casually, put it in the final chew, "Well, this mung bean cake, soft but not dense, melts in the mouth, sweet and mung beans get a fragrance, delicious, it is so delicious, last time Princess Lizhi was right, this is more delicious than the pastries in the palace!" ”

"Stop!" Li Ce's face sank, and his brows tightened, "Don't you want me to enter the palace as a cook, I don't have that kind of thought!" ”

"Huh? Of course not! How can such a talented shopkeeper be a chef? Old Li Wan'er smiled, "The little shopkeeper ......"

Before Lao Li could speak, Lao Sun returned to the store!

"Old Sun, where did I ask you to find a helper?" Lao Li frowned tightly and looked displeased.

"Brother Li, the helper is outside the door!"

"How fast?" Lao Li looked out of the door, but saw two guards standing outside the door, "You...... Get two patrolling janissaries? ”

"Yes, Brother Li, if you go back to the palace to find the eunuch, the journey is far away, and it will take at least half an hour, so it is better to ......"

"Forget it!" Lao Li was stunned, stood up, "Old Sun, pay the little shopkeeper, bring the food, let's go back to the palace!" ”

"Yes! Brother Li! ”

During the conversation, Lao Sun stepped forward to pay for the food and the tray, and then motioned for the two guards to come in and remove the tray!

When the four of them left, Li Ce lay on the rocking chair and watched the sun move west!

There are still five days left until the Weishui Alliance!

Within five days, can Li Yi arrive in time?

In this battle, in fact, whether Li Yi can appear or not is very crucial!

Even if Xue Wanche, Feng Li, and Xie Shufang were the three of them, with ten thousand arrows and gunpowder, with the wolf ambitions of the Turkic army, they would definitely not want to escape at the first time, but launch a general attack!

At that time, Li Shimin had less than 10,000 people around him, how would he deal with the 200,000 Turkic army?

I hope everything goes well with Li Yi!

……

On August 26, the Turkic army was like a bamboo, and the army reached Weishui!

On the 27th, the Turkic envoys lost their minds and entered Chang'an, and in the palace, they were arrogant and rude, and they were arrested on the spot!

On the 28th, Li Shimin laid out suspicious soldiers on the south bank of Weishui, personally led Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling and other six horsemen, came to the edge of Weishui, talked with Jieli Khan across the river, and accused Jieli Khan of losing the contract!

Twenty-nineth!

Chang'an City!

People are panicking, and the wind is rumbling!

The rumor that the Turkic million-strong army was about to attack Chang'an flew everywhere!

Almost all the people are packing up their belongings and preparing to flee south at night!

However, Chang'an City is under martial law, only enter and exit!

Hundreds of people are being barred from the gates of the city!

The city gates are flooded!

The first moment of the unitary time!

Anhua Gate in the south, Kaiyuan Gate in the west, Yanxing Gate and Chunming Gate in the east, there are military and civilian conflicts!

Caused 5 deaths and 63 injuries!

It's time to do it!

Li Shimin ordered that the eldest grandson Shunde, Gao Shilian, and Zhang Liang go to the south, west, and east of Chang'an to lobby, and let Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Cheng Yanjin, and Li Xiaogong enter the palace immediately!

Sub-hour!

Li Ce is still not resting, and Pei Qing is not resting either!

If it was ordinary, Pei Qing would be snoring like thunder at this moment!

However, this is a time of survival!

How dare the horseman sleep soundly?

The door is empty, and there is no night outside!

Correct!

Noises, cries, shouts, scolding, pleading...... It's as bright as the day!

The Praetorian Guards shuttle back and forth with torches!

The entire Chang'an City, with a population of three or four hundred thousand, at this moment, seems to have walked in front of the gate of the underworld!

Emotional sorrow, like a flood of beasts, hit the people's psychological defense line again and again!

The big war is not terrible, what is terrible is that in the face of the big war, the first chaos is to mess up!

Three or four hundred thousand people, excluding the ordinary elderly, children, and ordinary women, there are still 70,000 or 80,000 men!

Seventy or eighty thousand men, as long as they each defend their homeland, how can they not withstand the Turkic army?

Just as Li Ce sighed, there was a sound of troops stepping in the distance!

"Bang Bang Bang ......"
