Chapter 67: The Prince's Grandson

"Zhang Xun, do you know what you're talking about?"

Li Longji's eyes were cold, and he couldn't wait to behead Zhang Xun immediately.

Zhang Xun straightened his official robe, then took off the hood on his head and placed it in the hall, and finally said to Li Longji in an extremely solemn tone: "Sage, the minister Zhang Xun is willing to guarantee the head of the head, and what he said is true!" ”

Silence, the entire hall instantly became silent, and almost all the ministers were silent.

In fact, it is almost an open secret that the people of Hebei and even the entire Shandong are not happy, and it is almost an open secret, and it is hidden from the current sage, because the sage has become very happy since he passed the age of 50, and since Zhang Jiuling resigned as prime minister, no one has dared to mention these bad things in front of Li Longji.

Therefore, Li Longji has always believed that in the past 20 years, Datang has been a country and a people's peace.

But now, this fig leaf was finally torn apart by Lu Tianshi and Zhang Xun.

Li Longji felt a burst of blackness in front of him, although he was old, he did not have Alzheimer's, of course, he could see that Zhang Xun was not alarmist, and Lu Tianshi did not need to smear him.

Because Lu Tianshi really wants to mess with him, there is no need for such trouble.

But as an emperor, it is impossible to make Li Longji admit his mistake.

The superior knows his mistakes and corrects them, but he never admits his mistakes, he is not wrong.

At the moment, Li Longji said: "The people's livelihood is difficult, and the life of the people has always been difficult, even in the prosperous era of the Han Dynasty, which was praised by historians as the rule of Wenjing, there were still people starving to death, so I don't think that the people of Hebei and even Shandong will turn their backs on the imperial court because of the lack of food in the disaster year, and then fall to the thieves and rebels." ”

Regarding Li Longji's words, Lu Tianshi agreed.

"That's right, whether it's the Tang Dynasty, the strong man, or all the other dynasties, the people's lives are not easy, and it is the norm to starve people to death in a large area in disaster years and famine years."

It was only in New China that we finally got rid of the tragic phenomenon of a large number of starving people in the disaster year.

Prior to this, no dynasty had really solved the problem of food and clothing for the common people.

"Therefore, the hunger of the people in Hebei and even Shandong is indeed not enough to shake the hearts of the people."

After a pause, Lu Tianshi continued: "It is true that the hearts of the people of Hebei have not fallen to the rebels, and the common people in many prefectures and counties have even risen up one after another to organize the rebels to assist the imperial court in quelling the rebellion. ”

Speaking of this refers to Zhang Xun, and then continued: "Zhang Xun and Yan Zhenqing and Yan Gaoqing brothers, respectively, organized a rebel army in Hebei to assist the imperial court to quell the rebellion, Zhang Xun and his subordinate named Lei Wanchun, and with 7,000 rebels to hold Suiyang for ten months, dragged 180,000 rebels for the imperial court, and also saved Yangzhou, a land of heavy wealth, from military disasters. ”

Zhang Xun was stunned when he heard this, there was such a thing? I have been alone in Suiyang for ten months?

Li Longji's gaze also fell on Zhang Xun and asked, "Heavenly Master, what happened to Suiyang in the end?" ”

"Captured by the rebels." Lu Tianshi said, "Zhang Xun and his general Lei Wanchun were martyred, and the seven thousand righteous troops and the people in the city were all killed. ”

"It's so heroic, and it's a righteous man!" The ministers were amazed.

"But it didn't work." Lu Tianshi said, "No matter how strong the people are, they can't resist the fierce beasts raised by you Li Longji himself, first An Lushan, then Shi Siming, hundreds of thousands of Youyan rebels turned Yan Zhao Heluo upside down, in order to suppress this rebellion, your son can only transfer the Anxi, Shuofang, and Longyou armies to the Guanzhong battlefield." ”

"My son? Guanzhong battlefield? Li Longji's eyes were cold again.

Li Wan, Li Heng and other princes looked at the crown prince Li Heng in unison.

"Yes, it's Li Heng." Lu Tianshi said, "After the rebels broke the Tong Pass, you fled to Shuzhong with Yang Guifei in a hurry, and when you walked to Makuipo, the forbidden army suddenly mutinied, hanged Yang Guifei and divided Yang Guozhong's body with a knife, and then Li Heng left you and ran to Lingwu with a few cronies to ascend the throne, and Ling became the emperor. ”

Lu Tianshi's plain words frightened the four people present.

The crown prince Li Heng hurriedly left his seat, ran to the center of the hall and knelt on the ground.

Yang Guozhong was also so shocked that he sat on the ground, I was actually dismembered by the forbidden army?

Yang Guifei was tearfully pulling Li Longji's sleeve, a saint?

Li Longji hurriedly whispered to comfort, don't be afraid, concubine, this is just the original appearance.

"Yes, I'm doing the math as it is." Lu Tianshi said, "However, at this time, the fate of this Heavenly Master has been completely mixed with the luck of the Tang Dynasty, and it is bound to change, so what will become of this rebellion, this Heavenly Master is also unclear, so what I just said may not still happen." ”

Hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Only the crown prince Li Heng still knelt in the hall.

Li Longji ignored the crown prince, and asked Lu Tianshi again: "Heavenly Master just said that the rebels broke the Tong Pass?" ”

"It's not just breaking the Tong Pass." Lu Tianshi said suddenly, "The rebels even beat Chang'an, the prince was not stable after Lingwu succeeded to the throne and became the emperor, because you sent Yongwang Li Xuan out of the town of Jiangling, so as to balance the prince, in order to stabilize his throne, the prince launched the battle to recover Chang'an at all costs, and finally buried the elite of the hundreds of thousands of border troops of the Tang Dynasty in the battle of Xiangji Temple, and since then the Tang Dynasty has been unable to suppress the surrounding barbarians, so that the Hui and Tubo have fallen into Chang'an, There are also local feudal towns that have grown strong in the counterinsurgency, and they no longer listen to the dispatch of the Tang Central Committee, forming a separation. ”

"This ......" There was a sudden sound of inhalation in the hall, it turned out that Datang was so declining?

Li Longji was unconvinced: "Is there no one with ambition among the descendants of my Li family?" ”

"I'm sorry, but not really." Lu Tianshi said abruptly, "You Li Longji is the last promising king of the Tang Dynasty, since the emperor after you, whether it is the quality of the will to endure hardships and stand hard work, or the strong physique, or the ability is not as good as you, and even far behind, in a word, it is a group of waste, four of the emperors were even killed by the eunuchs, by the way, the eunuchs' interference in politics began with Li Fuguo, which is also the reason why I killed him." ”

Hearing this, Li Heng's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed.

Because of Lu Tianshi's words, his lineage has nothing to do with the throne from now on.

Li Longji really moved the idea of abolishing the establishment, and his eyes wandered among the many sons.

Lu Tianshi said abruptly: "Li Longji, I advise you not to move the idea of abolishing the establishment. ”

"Huh?" At this moment, not only Li Longji, but also the crown prince Li Heng was also extremely stunned.

The ministers in the palace were also stunned, and the other princes, especially Yongwang Li Lan, were extremely disappointed.

"Because it's useless to change people to be emperors." Lu Tianshi shook his head and said, "The emperor's selection is too small, and it is too difficult to select an emperor like you who is strong-willed, physically strong, and capable. ”

Hearing this, a whisper suddenly sounded above the main hall.

Everyone was speculating about what Lu Tianshi meant by this?

Li Longji was both happy and worried when he heard this, and he was happy that Lu Tianshi affirmed him, and he was strong-willed, physically strong, and capable, which was undoubtedly a very high evaluation.

At the same time, Li Longji was also worried about Lu Tianshi's true intentions.

But the face needs to be faced after all, and there is no escaping from it.

At that moment, Li Longji frowned and said, "What does Lu Tianshi mean to expand the selection of materials and screen them from the children of the clan?" ”

"Screening among the children of the clan?" Lu Tianshi said abruptly, "Your princes and grandchildren have all received a good education, but what will those clan disciples do besides being lustful and doggy?" ”

Li Longji said: "What do Lu Tianshi's words mean? ”

Lu Tianshi said: "I just deduced the Anshi Rebellion just now, what's the point?" If you have to say something, then I can only say that although the crown prince Li Heng is far inferior to you in all aspects, especially in order to stabilize the throne, he was in a hurry to recover Chang'an, and directly buried the elite of the border army of the Tang Dynasty, and then because of his lack of energy, he reused the eunuch Li Fuguo and buried the hidden danger of the eunuch's disorderly government, which is really stupid, but he is already the best of your many princes, and the others will only be worse. ”

Hearing this, the princes and grandsons present were all indignant and wanted to stand up and refute it.

Li Longji felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, only he knew that what Lu Tianshi said was true.

Ever since he deposed Li Ying, he had been observing his more than twenty living princes.

And the result is as Lu Tianshi said, there is no material to make, Li Heng is good.
