Chapter 1309 Prisoners are sacrificed, and the forbidden army threatens
On the bank of the Weishui River, Li Xuan, dressed in red clothes and gold armor, walked down from the boat with a solemn expression, and then walked to Li Xian and stood still.
The other generals in the army also followed down one by one, standing behind Li Xuan on the dock, neatly arranged.
Li Xuan bowed his hand to Li Xian with a solemn expression, and said in a loud voice: "Minister, the head of the march of Luo Dao, Wang Xuan of Nanchang, see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness is safe and healthy." ”
"The ministers see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness is safe and healthy." Everyone bowed their hands at the same time.
Standing under the yellow cover, Li Xian looked at Li Xuan, who was dressed in red and gold armor, with satisfaction, and looked at the group of fierce generals behind him.
He knew that as long as he gave an order, Li Xuan would immediately command these generals to charge for him regardless of life and death.
For a while, Li Xian felt extremely relieved.
But then, a trace of absurd ridiculousness rose in Li Xian's heart.
This is Chang'an, what kind of men are needed to charge, and now these generals are his father's cronies, especially Li Xuan.
Li Xian even knew that every telegram sent back from the front line, if any, mentioned Li Xuan's work in front of the army, and he thought about the court and his father as much as possible.
The most fundamental reason why my father can let Uncle Wang lead 70,000 elite cavalry outside without worrying is that Uncle Wang never hides it from him.
Maybe Uncle Wang will still argue a few words about the official documents of the court, but for his father's order, Uncle Wang will absolutely and unconditionally implement it.
This is almost the same for Li Xian, the only difference is that the priority of his father is higher than that of him, the crown prince.
Li Xian immediately put this thought behind him, he was not as paranoid as his other two imperial brothers, and he was very comfortable with everything at the moment.
Because he knows that in addition to his father, in the eyes of Uncle Wang, the next thing is him.
Others, even the queen mother, have to be a little later.
Thinking of this, Li Xian raised his hand and said, "Uncle Wang, please get up, all the generals, please get up." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Li Xian, but at this time, Li Xian took out a holy decree with a smile.
Li Xuan immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed to the ground, and the other generals immediately knelt down.
The generals in battle armor were not good at their work, so they naturally didn't have to pay full courtesy, but Wang Dezhen, Yang Zhirou, and other civil officials all knelt down completely.
"Emperor Tang Dynasty order: Order Li Xuan, the king of Nanchang, to lead some Taoist generals, sacrifice Taimiao, the crown prince Li Xian, and hundreds of officials in the court, all of them are with him, and he admires this."
"Your Majesty has no borders." Li Xuan stretched out his hand and took the holy decree with an excited expression.
Offering the prisoner of Taimiao, although it is not as good as destroying the country, there are not many people in the entire Tang Dynasty who can do it.
Li Jing, Li Wei, Su Dingfang, Pei Xingjian, Liu Renliang, Liu Xianli, Hou Junji, etc., are all generals who have killed countless people.
Li Xuan officially squeezed into the ranks of these generals today.
Even if his ability to command the army is still insufficient, his combat exploits have really reached this point.
"Uncle Wang, please get up." Li Xian stepped forward to help Li Xuan up, and then said: "Let the others go in advance, where is the king of Tubo, Chidu Songzan?" ”
"In the back, there are a number of Tibetan princes and nobles." Li Xuan's expression became solemn, and said: "Do you want to change clothes, they have traveled all the way, although there is no shortage of food and drink, but other treatments are much worse, and the clothes have not been washed for nearly half a month......
"It's okay, that's fine." Li Xian sneered and said: "Lone still remembers that when he and Uncle Wang were forced to almost embarrass by the Tubo people in Changzhou, it was Uncle Wang who finally let Xian be on the city and see a hearty victory. ”
"Your Highness." Li Xuan leaned closer to Li Xian and said in a low voice: "The Tubo lord of the day, Bo Lunzan, is now my Tang Guogong, the general of the Right Wuwei, and now he is behind the minister, His Royal Highness ......"
Li Xian subconsciously looked over, and sure enough, he saw Brenzan Blade bowing his head a little ashamedly.
"I haven't seen it for many years, but the changes are really not small." Li Xian sighed lightly, waved his hand indifferently, and said: "The things of the year have passed, and the Duke of Sa Guo should serve the country in the future." ”
"The minister will do his best to repay His Highness's great kindness." Brunzan immediately knelt down on one knee, bowed his head in a deep voice, and spoke with great excitement.
"Alright, get up." Li Xian raised his head slightly, and then Bren Zan Blade stood up respectfully and stepped back into the generals.
Li Xian looked back, Li Xuan stood on one side, waving his hand at more than a dozen official ships at the same time.
The next moment, one by one, boxes of prisoners of war, all of them were escorted from the official ship by the guards and carried down.
Li Xian's gaze fell directly on Chidu Songzan, who was ten years old, dressed in black plain clothes, and was held in his hand by a plump thirty-year-old lady.
Standing on both sides of the Chidu Songtsan and the Wulu clan were Zhou Qian and Su Baotong.
The two Qianniu Weilang will be escorted in person, and they will naturally be the lord of Tubo.
Li Xian smiled with satisfaction, then turned to look at Li Xuan and said, "Uncle Wang and Gu took the chariot together and went to the Taimiao together. ”
"Whoa!" Li Xuan solemnly bowed his hand, and then turned to bow heavily to the hundred officials of the court and the central government a little farther away.
With Li Xian in front, the ministers could only stand a little later.
For these people, Li Xuan didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, not to mention his own uncle and father-in-law.
……
The prince's chariot drove slowly past the ministers, followed by the generals of the army on tall horses.
Qianniuwei Jin Wuwei followed the generals, followed by the Wulu clan and Chidu Songzan, who were sent to the cart, followed by a large group of Tibetan nobles.
The black-clothed and black-armored cavalry of the right guard followed closely, followed by the left guard, the right leading guard, the right tun guard, the left Xiao guard, the right Xiao guard, the right military guard and other cavalry, heroic and chic, and the wind was long.
The ministers finally got on their horses and slowly headed towards Chang'an City.
The long Chang'an Avenue was crowded with hundreds of people.
Even the minister, who looked old, nodded with great satisfaction at this time.
The Tubo people, since the Zhenguan period, have always been a threat to the Tang Dynasty.
Even if Princess Wencheng married Tubo far away, it was also out of the threat of Songtsen Gampo and Tubo, coupled with the fact that she wanted to conquer Goguryeo in the east and the Turks in the west and the Turks in the west, which made Tubo and Songtsan Gampo take advantage of the loophole.
Songtsan and Emperor Xian died at about the same time, and after that, the conflict between Tibet and the Tang Dynasty became increasingly intense.
The demise of Tuyuhun made Tubo directly threaten Ganliang Longxi.
The defeat of Dafeichuan caused 100,000 Tang Dynasty men to be buried in the territory, most of whom were children of Guanzhong.
Now in Chang'an City, there are many families of soldiers who died in battle.
At the beginning of the Tibetan prisoner of war parade on the long street, the people of Chang'an still had restraint, but when they got to the back, they couldn't help but throw eggs and vegetables directly.
Some people even cried directly on the long street.
Great revenge is avenged, great revenge is avenged.
……
Li Xuan sat in the prince's chariot, and the yellow curtains on both sides were lifted, and everyone could see Li Xuan's appearance.
In fact, Li Xuan should have ridden a horse by himself and followed Li Xian's prince's chariot, but Li Xian was obviously looking for him to have something.
And it can't be talked about anywhere else.
"King Cao's matter, I think Uncle Wang already knows." Li Xian's expression was a little gloomy.
"Since Xie You, the governor of Qianzhou, is dead, then the case of King Cao will be over." Li Xuan reminded in a low voice.
Li Xian nodded lightly, and then said: "King Cao's matter is naturally nothing, but just a few days ago, someone mentioned that the imperial brother should be sent to Lingnan. ”
Li Xuan's face suddenly became solemn, he looked at Li Xian seriously and said, "Who mentioned it, when did it mention, and how did His Highness deal with it?" ”
Seeing Li Xuan's nervous appearance, Li Xian smiled with relief, then waved his hand and said, "This matter was not mentioned by someone here alone, but by someone at my father's place." ”
Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said solemnly: "If someone mentions this matter privately, His Highness should only not know, but if someone puts it on the table, or even wants to ask for the opinion of the East Palace, then His Highness must refuse strongly and leave no room for anything." ”
"Uncle Wang is worried that someone will not only harm Brother Wang, but also frame the lonely head." Although Li Xian's face was annoyed, his voice was not heavy.
"It can be seen that His Highness has already thought about this matter before." Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Erlang is now deposed as a concubine, and it is best to be able to be confined in the palace for a lifetime, so that under the nose of His Highness, he can not only survive, but also have no worries about food and clothing, but if he is released, if there is nothing to do, it is fine, once something happens, he will immediately become a pawn used by people with intentions, threatening His Highness, and the outcome will be unpredictable." ”
Li Xian nodded gently, the most worrying thing in his heart is the same, the most important thing in this world is the person with a heart.
"The matter of King Cao is a precedent." Li Xuan sighed softly, and then said: "King Cao was demoted to Qianzhou, and there are countless surveillances inside and outside, how can he collude with the rebels in Changzhou thousands of miles away, it is nothing more than a series of people with intentions, and the people who are in tandem with each other have never been King Cao's ...... who really scheming."
"It's the royal brother." Li Xian immediately gritted his teeth fiercely.
Li Xuan said this, how could Li Xian still not understand, there are people outside who want to count Li Xian, so some people want to get him out of the palace.
"Erlang must not leave the palace, but His Royal Highness can't go to see him, and he can't even have any contact." Li Xuan stared at Li Xian deadly.
Li Xian was slightly stunned, and after a long time, he nodded heavily.
There was a complete silence in the chariot.
Li Xian has never been stupid, how can he not see the entanglements in this clearly.
Whether it is suspected of murdering Li Xian or sympathizing with him, it is not a trivial matter, but what Li Xuan really pays attention to is that Li Xian must not talk to Li Xian.
At least they can't let Empress Wu know that they had a conversation.
Li Xian's incident, what people can still care about today is the root cause of Li Xian's abolition in the first place.
It was the persecution of the Empress Wu and the calculation of the Empress Wu that finally led to Li Xian's abolition.
The details of this were known to Li Xian, which would inevitably affect his opinion of Empress Wu.
Once Empress Wu knew this, she would immediately be extremely suspicious of Li Xian.
Li Xuan even had some doubts that Li Xian was later deposed, whether he had talked to Li Xian.
After all, he became an emperor, and it was common for him to come and go at will in the palace.
It is precisely because he knows some details of Li Xian's deposition that Li Xian became so radical.
wanted to make his father-in-law the prime minister, and finally provoked public anger and was deposed.
"Your Highness, what's going on?" Li Xuan's voice suddenly woke Li Xian up.
Li Xian subconsciously raised his head, and suddenly saw that everyone had come to the Suzaku Gate.
Under the Suzaku Gate, a general in red clothes and gold armor was solemnly guarding, and that person was not Cheng Chubi, who Li Xuan was familiar with, but Cheng Wuting.
Li Xian cleaned up his expression and said in a low voice: "The grassland war is over, and the right military guard general Cheng Wuting has been transferred back to the forbidden army to serve, and now he is the left general of the forbidden army. ”
Li Xuan's somewhat gloomy face quickly calmed down, and then said, "Your Highness still remembers the matter of Wenxi County Prince." ”
Li Xian nodded solemnly and said, "Uncle Wang wrote to say that it is not a good thing that the generals in the army and the ministers of the DPRK and the central government are too close. ”
"Not to mention the Forbidden Army."
