Chapter 267: Don't Do Anything Stupid
It seemed that in just an instant, the originally rock-solid Tang Empire was crumbling. Wolf smoke rose from all directions, transmitting the news of rebellion from all over the country to Chang'an, the heart of the Tang Dynasty.
made Chang'an, which had become panicked because of Li Shimin's disappearance, suffered a fatal blow again!
If there are only two places that have not been affected at all in this matter. One is the Tang Royal Academy, where Lao Li Gang cut off all outside information in advance.
All the students are undergoing devil training under Li Jing's hands. The teachers of the academy should still eat and drink.
The students were even more tormented by the daily military training. The other is the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty sitting on the dragon chair of the Taiji Palace.
Returning to the dragon chair where he had sat for nine years, Li Yuan still looked like an old-eyed, dizzy and old-fashioned dragon clock.
It does not deal with any government affairs and does not give any orders. Every day, I sat quietly on the dragon chair during the court meeting and said nothing.
It seems to be just a mascot, an ornament. But it is precisely because of this old man in charge that there is no chaos in the court.
Is Li Yuan incompetent? Not necessarily! It depends on who you compare yourself to. Compared with the radiant Li Shimin, Li Yuan may not be so outstanding.
But if you are not outstanding, it does not mean that you are not capable. In fact, how can a person who can single-handedly build a huge empire be an incompetent person?
The court, which is still running smoothly today, is the best example. Even if he sits there and doesn't do anything and doesn't say anything, as long as he is there for a day, the court will not be chaotic.
"Report to the Emperor Taishang, Yunzhou, Daizhou, Shaanzhou, Shuozhou, Hedong Province; Qinzhou, Wuzhou, Lanzhou, Longyou Road; Shannan Road ...... Henan Province ...... Wait for fifty-six states, all of them are reversed! Fang Xuanling slowly spit out a string of place names in his mouth, all of which are places where the war has been ignited now.
"What, so many places are reversed, doesn't that mean that the whole north is in chaos?"
"This, what should I do......"
"The Emperor, you have something to say."
"Fang Xiang, now that the army of Chang'an is in your hands, you can quickly get an idea......" As soon as Fang Xuanling's words were finished, the court whispered.
Many people had a worried look on their faces. Now His Majesty's whereabouts are unknown, the crown prince is still in Lingnan and doesn't know when he will come back, and the emperor has no idea.
Many ministers couldn't help but look at Fang Xuanling, who now had more than 100,000 troops in his hands.
It can be said that half of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are all in the hands of Fang Xuanling. But Fang Xuanling was like an old monk in the country, but after saying the name of the rebellious place, he retreated into the ranks of civil officials.
Seeing this, the eyes of some ministers instantly dimmed.
"What does this mean?"
"Now that there are so many rebellions, shouldn't we send troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible?"
"Emperor Taishang, say something!" The courtiers had no choice but to turn their gaze to Li Yuan on the dragon chair.
Then they were doomed to be disappointed, and Li Yuan still sat on the dragon chair without saying a word. The courtiers who were close could even hear a slight snoring.
"British Duke, you are now the head of the generals...... Some courtiers turned their eyes on Li Ji in the ranks of military generals, but when they saw Li Ji's indifferent face.
The words he wanted to say suddenly stuck in his throat, so he had to pout, and then let out a long sigh. In just a few days, most of the entire north of Chang'an was in chaos, which cannot be said to be very similar to the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but can only be said to be exactly the same.
…… It's just that Chang'an is chaotic and has nothing to do with Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian, who are far away in Lingnan.
Rewind the clock to a few days ago. Li Chengqian was tightly pressed on the platform by Zhang Fusheng with one hand, in order to prevent him from moving.
After all, the platform on the rock wall was only temporarily put up, and Li Chengqian only resisted a little harder.
Immediately he stepped out a little. Therefore, Zhang Fusheng had to control Li Chengqian with one hand, and with the other hand, he tightly grasped a small bulge on the rock wall.
Zhang Zheng, who was standing on the ground, did not look back at him no matter how Li Chengqian screamed.
Zhang Zheng thought that he was a person who had died once, and even if he couldn't face death calmly, at least he shouldn't be so afraid.
But when he really faced death, Zhang Zheng realized how naïve his previous ideas were.
Look at the flood that is getting closer and closer to you. Regret, hatred, fear, and fear were intertwined in Zhang Zheng's mind.
In an instant, tears poured out of my eyes like a, and I couldn't stop it. Fortunately, under the cover of heavy rain, no one could find Zhang Zheng's abnormality.
Du Cong, who was standing beside Zhang Zheng, found that Zhang Zheng seemed to have something wrong. But in this situation, the only thing Chung can do is to get closer to Zhang Zheng.
"We're going to die, I'm sorry to have led you to a dead end." Seeing Du Cong approaching him, Zhang Zheng whispered.
It's just that his voice is a little choked. Du Chung was stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Zheng to apologize to him. replied: "What did Uncle say, who could have predicted such a thing as a natural disaster, Uncle has done a good job, really good." The flood finally reached Zhang Zheng's feet not far away.
Maybe it only takes one more foot to drown Zhang Zheng's instep. Waiting for death was not pleasant, so Zhang Zheng decided not to wait.
Anyway, sooner or later, the flood will flood up, and instead of being passive, it is better to turn passive into active. Zhang Zheng turned his head and smiled at Li Chengqian, who was still hoarse and tried his best to let himself go, and then nodded at Zhang Fusheng again.
There are no last words to tell. Zhang Zheng's gaze was resolute, and then in everyone's eyes.
Raising his feet, he stepped out of the rain curtain and walked towards the oncoming waves. There is no way to live, and Zhang Zheng thinks that he can't climb up the tall cliff.
As long as Zhang Fusheng can bring Li Chengqian back, he will have no regrets even if he dies.
"Uncle......" Chung Du shouted, wanting to say something. It's just that the words have just reached my throat, and I am relieved again.
It's just the difference between dying a moment earlier and dying a moment later, what's the use of talking about it. Under such a turbulent flood, Chung To never thought that he would survive.
Thinking of this, Du Chung turned his head to the other soldiers and said, "Dog day, brothers, I will go first, and I will explore the way for you on the Huangquan Road." After speaking, he followed Zhang Zheng out of the rain curtain and walked towards the fierce water Lingqu.
"Uncle, uncle!" The flood had already submerged Zhang Zheng's instep, and suddenly a shout came from afar.
As soon as Chen Yu came back, he saw Zhang Zheng walking towards the flood, and he couldn't help but be frightened, and hurriedly shouted: "Uncle, don't do stupid things, there is a shelter in front, go back quickly!" ”
