Li Jie didn't close his eyes much for a day and a night, relying on his current body that was only fifteen years old to not look too tired.

But when I thought of the 600,000 troops outside Chang'an City, I generally felt uneasy, and I became nervous at the slightest hint of wind and grass.

At this time, there was a noisy crowd outside the hall, which couldn't help but make him think that Huang Chao was planning to attack the city at night and catch the Tang army off guard.

Seeing that Li Jie's face changed greatly, Lu Jiping, who had been by his side, immediately comforted: "Your Highness, don't worry, Huang Chao came in a hurry with his troops, it is impossible to build siege equipment in a short time, I am afraid that there is something else." ”

Li Jie nodded.

And so it is.

It is indeed impossible for those various siege equipment with all kinds of tricks to be pulled from Tongguan by Huang Chao, and they can only be used and made.

Even the simplest siege ladder is difficult to build in such a short period of time.

"Come out with me and see, what's going on?"

He opened the door and looked out, but saw dozens of people scuffling together in front of the Taiji Palace, among which the most arrogant were actually more than a dozen purple-robed ministers!

When he came out to work, he saw a sixty or seventy-year-old man knocking the newly appointed Prime Minister Pei Che to the ground with a punch, and shouted: "Our Li Dingguo has also made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, why is it that we are old and useless now, so we will demolish our house?" You call that little rabbit Li Jie out for me! ”

"What are you shouting, this is Tai Chi Palace!"

Li Jie understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, but he didn't expect this group of guys to really make trouble with him.

Pei Che, the prime minister, only took office temporarily yesterday, and he has no prestige at all.

As soon as he saw him come out, one eye was covered with dark circles, and he got up like an angry little daughter-in-law, and bowed to him.

"His Royal Highness King Shou, in the afternoon, you ordered the dismantling and return of the mansions of the ministers who privately transferred timber and stone to guard the city, and now Chen Guogong, Wei Guogong, Suyang Hou and more than a dozen other marquis have found here to judge..."

Li Jie waved his hand and didn't let this person continue, because this group of people had already surrounded him, "King Shou, the old man has made a lot of efforts for the country, why don't you just take a little stone and wood, and you can't bear it?" ”

Among these people, it seems that this old man is the leader, and Lu Jiping, who is next to Li Jie, immediately briefly explained the origin of this person in his ear.

Although he was so angry in his heart, he still said patiently and in a deep voice: "Li Dingguo, Duke of Weiguo, originally you were surnamed Zhou, and you governed Jiangnan Province well, after you said goodbye to the old man, you were given the surname Li by the grace of the emperor's grandfather, and this is how you treat the Li family?" ”

Li Dingguo hugged his fists in the direction of Daming Palace, "The emperor treats us well, but you can't help but say it, just demolish the courtyard of our government's mansion, don't say anything about bad feng shui, where will my old face go?" ”

"Old face? Hehe! ”

Li Jie didn't care about the cold on the ground, he sat on the stone steps with his hands on his knees, which could also make him sleepy.

"Datang is already in danger, you still want to save face? Will the Yellow Nest attack give you face? The heads are gone! ”

Raised his head and swept around,

"Everyone's small family, which is more important, you know better than me, face? Although this king is small, he is also a prince, so he is always older than yours, right? I sealed the city gate and forcibly tied the people to live and die in Chang'an, how many people are scolding me for being vicious? Many of the eunuchs killed in the palace may be innocent, but I must also kill them, just to deter those dishonest eunuchs in their hearts, and let them know that there is no good fruit to eat in power, and they don't hate me? You are all old ministers of the Tang Dynasty, do you still need this truth to be told to you by a child of this king? ”

After speaking, he clasped his hands,

"The face is saved by yourself, not given by others, if Chang'an is lucky to be preserved, this king will rebuild your house beautifully!

But now, it must be demolished! ”

The people around him were silent, but their eyes flickered.

"Ajie, as far as I know, your Shouwang Mansion was not less useful back then, right?"

A voice burst out, and a young man in his twenties came out of the crowd.

"Sixth brother, why did you come here to join in the fun, my mansion has also been used? How did I not know? ”

Li Jie was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Zhao Jian, a member of the Ministry of Labor.

Seeing that he was evasive, he knew that this person had erased the name of Shouwangfu on that list without authorization.

The one who spoke was the sixth among their brothers, Li Bao, the king of Ji.

When Li Yi was about to run away yesterday, he didn't expect his sixth brother, but he could imagine what the relationship between them was.

And subconsciously, under the influence of the third brother Li Ji, the king of Shu, he is also very uninterested in this person.

This person is like a poisonous snake, usually hiding quietly in the corner, jumping up and biting you without knowing when, and it is deadly!

Li Bao probably heard about last night's incident at this time, and his heart was naturally very resentful.

At the same time, Li Yi actually used this young seventh man so much, but ignored him, which made him feel extremely unconvinced.

In the afternoon, when the sixteen princes' mansions were sulking, I happened to see many princes and ministers scolding Li Jie because of the demolition of their homes.

He took advantage of this excuse to run to find trouble and let out this evil breath in his heart.

Li Jie rolled his eyelids and glanced at him, "Then it's demolished, it's okay to demolish it all, anyway, I'm already planning to live in the city gate tower!" ”

"You..."

Li Bao was still waiting for the other party with mocking words, but he didn't want Li Jie to be so simply that he was so suffocated that he couldn't speak, and stood on the spot staring dryly.

Everyone else was stunned.

Everyone has taken the lead in demolishing it, what do you still want to do?

After all, this misappropriation of city defense materials itself is not only wrong, but also guilty, King Shou did not mention a word about this, and promised to rebuild it later, which is indeed very generous.

At this moment, a clear voice came abruptly.

"I've also used a lot of Keju Field and Horse Racing Building, so let's demolish them together!"

As soon as the ministers heard the voice behind them, they knew that Li Yi had arrived, and they were so frightened that they immediately knelt together.

Li Yi actually came a long time ago.

He stood on the periphery and listened for a long time, and he was so angry in his heart, what else could this group of guys expect? But they are all old ministers of the former dynasty, and they can't be punished for such a small thing.

Fortunately, the eunuch Zhang Bingchen on the side came up with this idea, he felt very good, although he was a little reluctant, but at this time he could only lead by example.

didn't let these people flatten, and deliberately let them kneel for a while, but pulled Li Jie up,

"Ajie, the Yellow Nest army is already besieging the city, take me to see it, it can also cheer up the army."

Li Jie himself understands that what kind of excitement is this, it is nothing more than the greasy taste of staying in the palace and curiosity.

When is this all the time, don't make a mess.

"Your Majesty, it is dark at this time, and those thieves have set up camp two miles away from the city, but I am afraid that they will not see anything, or tomorrow. In addition, I don't see enough chariots and horses in the city to transport ordnance, earth and stone, and you still have 300 horses in the Flying Dragon Prison, for your ministers?"

The three hundred horses were all paid tribute from all over the country, but I am afraid that each of them can be calculated in a thousand gold, where is Li Yi willing to let them pull the cart.

He rolled his eyes, and immediately said, "Then you and I go back to Daming Palace and tell Fifth Brother how your divine power came from?" In the past, you couldn't even lift a stone lock that weighed less than 50 pounds! "

Li Jie looked at the emperor with a thief's eyebrows and rat eyes, and knew that the matter of asking for horses was yellow.

And, sure enough, he began to ask himself about the great changes in the day.

So, how do you talk to him?
