Chapter 169 Wagang Hongmen Banquet, Tang Xuanwu Gate

Luoyang City, the eastern capital, which had been besieged for more than a year, finally slowly opened the city gate in front of tens of thousands of Tang troops.

Wang Shichong, who took off his former gown, exposed his upper body, and tied his hands with ropes, was full of sorrow, led the civil and military officials behind him, and staggered to Li Shimin, who was sitting on a high chair, and knelt down to offer the seal of Zheng Guo that he was biting in his mouth.

The soldier carrying the coffin behind him lowered his head and wept with the civil and military officials.

The remnants of the soldiers of Luoyang City slowly left the city, unloading their armor and waiting to be dispatched.

Qu Tutong, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Li Jing, Xu Shixian, Hou Junji and other military generals were listed on the right side, and Wang Shichong and others bowed.

"Why didn't you lead the sheep?"

Wen Chen Fang Xuanling, who was standing on the left, asked.

According to the ancient rites, all the monarchs who go out of the city and surrender need to be clothed, tied, and ranked, leading the sheep on the left and the grass on the right, and walking forward on their knees.

Wang Shichong, who was biting Zheng Guoyin's ribbon, couldn't open his mouth, and his face was full of shame and humiliation.

The official behind him kowtowed and pleaded guilty, and replied in a trembling voice:

"Back to King Qin, there are no live sheep in the city!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he sighed, "It's been like this." ”

stood up and took the seal ribbon presented by Wang Shichong, put it on the tray brought by the soldiers behind him, and then personally untied him, and ordered someone to destroy the coffin he carried.

To show the forgiveness of the Tang Dynasty to Wang Shichong, the lord of Zheng State.

Du Ruhui saluted and asked: "Your Highness, please behead the ministers and generals of Zheng Guo to calm the hearts of the army!" ”

The people who followed Wang Shichong out of the city, and many of them who were tied up, trembled.

It has already been decided who should be killed, and Li Shimin only needs to nod in agreement.

Du Ruhui ordered: "Take Xue Deyin, Zhu Cang, Duan Da, Yang Wang, Yang Gongqing and others into custody, and take the head of Luoshui to sacrifice the souls of the deceased soldiers!" ”

The soldiers of the Tang Army stepped forward and escorted all the people with ropes on their bodies, and some of them began to curse, so they waited with their fists and feet.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's official positions are not high, and they are only officials of the Qin Palace.

However, all the soldiers of the Qin Palace, and even the princes, princes and military generals of the Tang Dynasty, had no objections.

The two were trusted by the King of Qin and were in charge of many affairs in the army.

After the surrender of the personnel was taken away in a batch.

Li Shimin noticed Li Mi, Wang Bodang and others who were also kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help laughing:

"Duke Wei, I haven't seen you for two years, I don't want to meet again outside Luoyang City!"

"Hahahaha!!"

The soldiers under the Qin Palace, and all the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty laughed.

Li Mi defected and took refuge with Dou Jiande, who was defeated and captured, and he went to seek refuge with Wang Shichong.

Going around and around, Li Mi actually returned to Datang!

"Qin, King Qin, please forgive the sins below."

At this moment, Li Mi just wanted to grab the ground with his head and die here!

Wagang's old generals Xu Shiyun, Cheng Yanjin and others only looked at this scene coldly, and had no intention of interceding for the old lord - they had followed King Qin for nearly two years, and had fought with Li Mi many times, and their former love was gone.

Li Shimin ignored Li Mi's pleas for mercy.

Riding on a horse, leading everyone, and Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, they entered Luoyang City together.

Li Shixun rode his horse to Shan Xiongxin's side and whispered to him: "Fortunately, Brother believed me that day, otherwise I could only watch you being escorted down today, and watch your head fall to the ground in a few days." ”

Shan Xiongxin, known as the "flying general", looked at Li Shimin's back and said in a low voice: "I also said it earlier, it's not that I don't believe in the king, but I don't believe in that ...... In today's situation, isn't it Zhai Gong and Li Mi that day? ”

Li Shiyun couldn't help but ponder.

They followed the king to capture Dou Jiande and demote Wang Shichong, with great achievements, and the world has been owned by the Tang Dynasty.

But the prince of the Tang Dynasty is not Li Shimin.

The person who led the army to pacify the world was not Li Yuan.

……

A few days later.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were invited to the banquet by Wei Chigong.

After the two entered the door, they found that although it was Wei Chigong who came to invite, most of the people present were old Wagang generals, plus several generals from the Qin Palace.

Both of them vaguely saw that tonight's banquet was not simple.

But he didn't take the initiative to speak, kneeling on the couch and drinking and chatting with them.

Everyone first commented on the world, praised the king's exploits, and reviewed the events of the battlefield.

After chatting about this, Li Shichang repeated what he said a few days ago to Shan Xiongxin, praising him for his vision, otherwise there would be no opportunity for the old Wagang generals to sit and drink together today.

Shan Xiongxin brought up the old story of Wagang.

The topic gradually led to Zhai Gong and Li Mi.

Shan Xiongxin showed sadness on his face, took a big sip of wine, and then said hatefully: "That day, Zhai Gong trusted Li Mi, gave him all the military power, and let him lead Wagang, who knew that Li Mi was ungrateful and actually designed to kill Zhai Gong!" ”

"There is such a thing."

Fang Xuanling pretended not to have heard of this.

Du Ruhui also asked them: "Back then, in Wagangzhai, why did Li Mi and your Zhai Gong have such a quarrel?" ”

"It's not because of Li Mi's great achievements!"

Cheng Yanjin said in a loud voice.

"What about Gongda?"

Wei Chigong asked with a wine jug.

Li Shiyun said: "When Wagang rose in Dongjun, although there were a group of heroes gathered in Wagang, there was no one who was good at leading the army and giving advice. ”

When he said this, all the old Wagang generals, Cheng Biting Jin, Qin Qiong and others were all red-faced.

But for the sake of the purpose, I can only grit my teeth and admit it.

Li Shiyun continued: "After Li Mi came, Wagang rose rapidly, conquered the east and west, and defeated Chang'an with 7,000 elite soldiers! ”

"What Chang'an, brother, I'm afraid you're confused."

Shan Xiongxin said with a smile: "It's Xingluocang!" ”

"Oh yes, it's Xingluocang!"

Li Shichang changed his words, saying that Wagangzhai opened a warehouse to help the people, and more than 100,000 people flocked to take the grain in the Xingluo warehouse, so as to collect tens of thousands of people, and the momentum was greatly boosted.

Li Mi was promoted by Zhai Rang as the Duke of Wei, and Shan Xiongxin and Li Shichang were the left and right Wuhou generals, respectively, and followed Li Mi to continue the crusade against the Sui Dynasty.

Under the leadership of Li Mi, the Wagang army grew stronger and stronger, and gradually gained the momentum of capturing Luoyang and winning the world.

"There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the country!"

Shan Xiongxin said: "Although Zhai Gong has no idea of becoming an emperor, Wang Ruxin, the subordinate general who followed him, Zhai Kuan, the elder brother of Zhai Gong, and others, encouraged Zhai Gong to regain the military power of Wagang from Li Mi. ”

"It doesn't make sense!"

Wei Chigong put down the wine jug and said, "Although you Zhai Gong is the old master of Wagang, you can have the world, but you are Qin... Wang, yes, it was Li Mi who beat it down! ”

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui pretended not to hear it.

Shan Xiongxin sighed, nodded and said: "It is true that it should be so, but the fight between the two kings can only be ended by the death of one of them." ”

"What happened at the banquet that day?"

Luo Shixin asked curiously.

Li Shixian, who went to the banquet in person, opened his mouth to tell about the situation that day.

After Li Mi secretly learned of Zhai Kuan and Wang Ruxin's conspiracy, he set up a banquet to see the bow and arrow as bait, and when Zhai Rang pulled the bow, Cai Jiande slashed and killed him from behind, and the rest of the people were also hacked to death.

Lee was stabbed in the face and was captured after rushing out of the door.

Shan Xiongxin had to kneel down and surrender to save his life.

"The Hongmen Banquet has never been so dangerous."

Du Ruhui commented.

Cheng Yanjin couldn't help it and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Qin Qiong.

Hou Junji, Du Junhui and others continued to drink.

Every sentence says Wagang, but every sentence is not on Wagang.

A moment later.

Fang Xuanling smiled at everyone: "The overturning of the car in front and the clarity of the car behind, Your Highness doesn't know much about the old things in Wagang, so I'll write down this matter another day and report it to Your Highness." ”

Du Ruhui also smiled and said: "It should be so." ”

When the goal was achieved, Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Chigong and others stopped mentioning this matter and continued to drink happily.

Two days later.

Fang Xuanling recorded the old things in Wagang and personally sent them to the study of His Royal Highness King Qin.

Li Shimin saw it, but he never spoke, and was silent for a long time.

Fang Xuanling proposed: "Your Highness, the world has been decided, it is better to let some generals return to Chang'an and let them guard the palace city." ”

“…… Need not. ”

Li Shimin refused and ordered him to go back.

Fang Xuanling had no choice but to retire.

After he left, Li Shimin looked at the old things in Wagang again.

Zhai Rang had no intention of seizing power, but his subordinates were ready to move.

Li Migong is high, Zhai Rang takes the initiative to Zen, and the two have been in Wagang for a long time.

But what if Zhai Rang doesn't have a Zen position?

Even if Li Mi doesn't say it, his generals will still push him forward and fight with Zhai Rang for power.

“……”

Li Shimin's thoughts were flying, but he could only suppress it, not to be Li Mi, nor to be Zhai Rang.

A month later, Li Yuan, who learned the news of Luoyang's great victory, sent Zhang Jieyu, Yin Defei and several others to Luoyang to select the Sui palace people and collect the treasures of the treasury.

Three months later, Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, and the night before he left, he finally heard Mr. Chu's call again.

Li Shimin selected a few treasures of the Sui Dynasty that were not given to Zhang Jieyu and others, wrapped them in silk, returned to the dormitory and took out his mobile phone, and waited to go to the next generation.

This time, he decided to take the initiative to talk about Xuanwumen!
