Chapter 122: I Liked You

Yu Chao En Ne didn't dare to speak, what else could he say, could it be that this slander was entered by him and other eunuchs? And there is also the acquiescence of Emperor Li Yu in it?

"What about Li Guangbi? And Guo Ziyi! Li Shimin was already angry at this time, and there was unstoppable killing intent in his eyes.

Li Yu and Yu Chaoen glanced at each other and didn't dare to speak at all.

"Now Li Guangbi is afraid of slander, hiding in Xuzhou and not daring to come out, resulting in damage to his reputation, and he will become sick with hatred in the future, and he will die depressed in Xuzhou." Li Qing sighed and said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was furious when he heard this, and looked at Li Yu and Yu Chaoen beside him through gritted teeth.

"After Li Yu ascended the throne, Cheng Yuanzhen thought that he had the merit of supporting the establishment, and was worried that the veteran would be difficult to subdue, so he repeatedly framed Li Yu in front of him, so Guo Ziyi was removed from the post of deputy marshal, and he was also relieved of his military power and was idle at home." Li Qing glanced at Yu Chaoen, who was trembling on his knees, "Later, Li Yu planned to reinstate Guo Ziyi, but Cheng Yuanzhen and this Yu Chaoen slandered in front of Li Yu many times, so he gave up this plan......"

"Thieves dare to hear!" Li Shimin roared and pulled out a long knife from the dragon case on the side.

Seeing that the opportunity was not good, Yu Chaoen ran away, faster than a rabbit.

"This is the thief slave you raised?" Li Shimin asked angrily.

Li Yu opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to speak.

What he can say, he doesn't dare to say anything.

"Look at your!" Li Shimin pointed at him angrily and scolded: "I originally liked you, who knew that you would give me such a big surprise!" Get up! ”

"Sun ...... The grandson didn't dare to ......" Li Yu wiped the sweat of the waterfall wildly, he was really afraid that Li Shimin would cut him down with a knife.

"Get up! The top priority now is not to pursue your problem, but how to defend Chang'an City! Li Shimin glared at him viciously: "Say, what do you think?" ”

"Grandchild wants to ...... Well, the thieves are strong, and Chang'an City can't be defended in a hurry, so it's better to leave Qingshan in the ......"

Li Yu wiped his sweat and said tentatively, but was interrupted by the angry Li Shimin.

"Shame! Disgrace! Back then, Jieli Khan led his troops to approach Chang'an, but I had no troops available, and I didn't dare to give up the national capital! ”

Li Shimin carried a knife, and his anger almost burned this hall to the ground.

"Hurry, hurry! This is it! It's this madman who is holding Your Majesty hostage! Yu Chaoen rushed into the hall with a group of armor soldiers: "See, he still has a knife in his hand!" This is to assassinate the king! What are you doing in a daze? Give it to me! ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Li Yu with an unkind expression.

Li Yu immediately shook, don't care what, he still needs this ancestor to help him guard Chang'an. Besides, even if he didn't have the matter of Tubo entering the Kou, he wouldn't be able to face Li Shimin with a sword.

He is not a dutiful son like his father.

"I thought you were a coward, but I never thought ......" Li Shimin looked at Li Yu with a cold expression, and didn't care about Yu Chaoen at all: "Okay, you Li Yu, dare to dance a knife and a gun in front of me?" Wow, it's not a little daring! ”

"What are you doing here? Hurry up and get out of here! Of course, Li Yu couldn't recognize it, he immediately pointed at the group of armor soldiers and ordered loudly.

The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing who to listen to.

"Give it all to me! Cut down that assassin for the prisoner! Yu Chaoen knew that he would definitely not be able to live, so instead of sitting and waiting to die, he should take the initiative to attack: "This prison will ensure your glory and wealth!" ”

On the other hand, Yu Chaoen is also betting that Li Yu, like Li Heng, will not be controlled by others, and will acquiesce to the so-called "Emperor Taizong" under the push of the boat.

Listening to Yu Chaoen's words, the armor soldiers couldn't help but be a little moved.

Unlike the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty held military power. The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were set up to check and balance the Chinese officials of the dynasty, and while mastering the secret agency of Dongchang, there were also Jinyi Wei to check and balance each other; In order to deal with the feudal towns and the civil and military forces in the court, the Tang Dynasty chose to use eunuchs to take charge of the forbidden army, which is the famous Shence Army, but there was no institution at the emperor's hand that could balance the Shence Army.

The result of this was that the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were completely dependent on the imperial power, and the emperor could abolish the eunuchs in a word; And the emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to abolish the eunuchs? I'm sorry, but buddy has soldiers, and you want to abolish me? I'll scrap you first!

So among the eleven emperors after Daizong, Tang Muzong, Tang Wenzong, and Tang Wuzong were established by eunuchs, and Tang Xianzong and Tang Jingzong were poisoned by eunuchs.

This can also understand why this group of Shence troops can obey Yu Chaoen's dispatch, after all, eunuchs are in control of military power.

"Didn't you hear me! Stand down! Are you going to rebel with Yu Chaoen? Li Yulongyan was furious, and directly buttoned Yu Chaoen with a big hat: "He wants to coerce Yu Me, do you want to rebel with him?" Whoever kills the head of the fish and the grace will be rewarded with ten thousand gold! ”

As soon as these words came out, the armor soldiers of the Shence Army instantly betrayed, and immediately rushed up and slashed the dumbfounded Yu Chaoen to the ground.

Yu Chaoen didn't understand until he died, why Li Yu, an emperor, would choose to be controlled by others.

"In addition to Yu Chaoen, there are also Li Fuguo, as well as Cheng Yuanzhen and other eunuchs." Li Shimin looked at Li Yu with deep meaning: "The level is not enough, it is okay to use eunuchs to check and balance, but you can't let the forces of all parties be unbalanced." ”

"Sun Chen understands......" Li Yu wiped his sweat, began to fulfill his promise, and rewarded the guards of the Shence Army just now one by one, Li Yu looked at Li Shimin and asked respectfully: "Old Ancestor, this Tubo army is about to approach Chang'an City, how can this be a good ......?"

"Don't worry, I have my own plans." Li Shimin looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom, and then said to him: "You go first to get Guo Ziyi back, this person I know, he is very worthy of your trust, and Li Guangbi, if you want to tell the world, just say that you have killed the eunuchs who have brought disaster to the country and the people, and issued an edict to punish yourself, first stabilize these two pillars of the court." ”

"As for Fugu Huaien's side, the main thing is to appease first, if you can't wake up suddenly, then the strong man will break his wrist." Li Shimin added.

Under Li Shimin's strong order, Li Yu chose a strong man to break his wrist. In fact, the appointment of eunuchs is also a last resort, and in his growth environment, he really has no sense of security.

Now that Li Shimin is here, he also has a backbone. After all, this ancestor still likes himself, and he doesn't mean to abolish himself. So he chose to believe in Li Shimin.

If you don't believe it, you can't believe it, the thousands of soldiers and horses that suddenly appeared in the palace are not vegetarians, and he even saw the legendary Duke Chi Gong of the Eguo Kingdom.

The question of feudal towns and state reform is not the main contradiction at present. The main contradiction is showing off their might outside Chang'an City, preparing to rush into this prosperous capital city that has haunted them for more than a hundred years.

Li Yuren took the heads of Yu Chaoen and Li Fuguo, and used the dry ice provided by his uncle to go to Xuzhou to appease Li Guangbi; He also asked people to tie up Luo Fengxian, take Cheng Yuanzhen's head, and go to Shuofang to appease the servant Gu Huaien.

Li Guangbi immediately said that even if he died, he was willing to lead the army to serve the king. And after Luo Fengxian Ling Chi, Fugu Huaien chose to send 10,000 soldiers and horses to Chang'an, but he did not act rashly.

In fact, he was a little afraid of death, after all, this time the Tubo people were inseparable from his instigation. If the court really investigates it, he will have to shed his skin if he doesn't die.

Li Yu reinstated Guo Ziyi as the deputy marshal of Guannei, and ordered his son Li Shi to be the marshal of Guannei and went to Xianyang to recruit troops.

Poor Guo Ziyi had been deposed and returned to the capital to live temporarily, and his troops had long since dispersed, and by the time he accepted the edict as the deputy marshal of Guannei, Guo Ziyi had only twenty cavalry under his command.

But his loyalty was unquestionable, and after receiving the order, he rushed to Xianyang to recruit troops and prepare to rescue Chang'an from danger.

He was still a little relieved by this, at least the emperor did not flee in a hurry like his grandfather, which is also a comforting thing.

But how did he know that if it weren't for Li Shimin, Li Yu's speed would probably be even faster than that of Hong Kong reporters.

Li Yu personally went to the city wall to appease his subjects, and vowed to live and die with Chang'an. Seeing the emperor's determination, the people expressed their willingness to die for His Majesty. Soon, a part of the team mobilized by the people of Chang'an to support the defense of the city wall was assembled.

However, the people didn't know that the two people who followed Li Yu, as long as he dared to say a word, would definitely be beaten.

On the third day, Tubo crossed Weishui and prepared to launch a strong attack on Chang'an City.

Li Shimin had already ordered eight cannons to be erected on the four city walls, although the accuracy was almost enough, but it was definitely enough to scare the Tubo people.

According to the information held by the Tibetans, Chang'an is an empty city, and there are no troops in it. However, after starting to attack the city, I found that I had been deceived, not only there were many defenders in Chang'an City, but also a strange "magic weapon", its sound was as huge as thunder, and the power was like a divine punishment from the gods, and the strange balls that spewed out were injured as long as they were touched.

The Tibetan people are timid, in fact, they are originally running for the attitude of having dates and not having dates. Since Chang'an City was well prepared, they chose to retreat after weighing it.

In fact, the history is also like this, the Tubo army burned and looted in Chang'an for a total of fifteen days, and then Guangluqing Yin Zhongqing led two hundred cavalry to directly cross the shovel water, which caused the Tubo to be frightened, thinking that Guo Ziyi's main force was coming, so he led the army to retreat.

Guo Ziyi brought a total of 4,000 people, and after hearing that Tubo had fled, he led the army to march to Chang'an City with drums, making a huge appearance. Yin Zhongqing took advantage of the situation to enter the city in one go, scaring all the remaining Tubo soldiers away, and it can be said that the two changes of hands in Chang'an this time were very dramatic.

Immediately afterwards, Tubo was caught up by Li Guangbi and Fugu Huaien's subordinates, and joined forces with Guo Ziyi, who had raised 3,000 cavalry, and captured more than 20,000 people.

Li Shimin didn't plan to send his Tiance Army out, he was here to help, and Li Yu didn't have no way to solve it by himself.

Fortunately, Li Yu's era is not like the reign of the emperors after him, and the feudal towns have not yet formed a tail-to-tail trend, and they are still within the controllable range. Li Shimin also had a headache about the problem of the feudal town. In his view, the military conquest of feudal towns is only a symptom rather than a root cause, and if the system is not thoroughly reformed, the problem of feudal towns will be like pressing a gourd to float up the scoop, destroying one side and rising there.

Seeing that Brother Li was having a headache, Li Qing couldn't help but ask with concern: "Brother Li, what's wrong, look at you covering your head, you have a head stroke?" ”

"Well, aren't you thinking about the future?" Li Shimin held his forehead with his hand: "From his Li Yu's era, I can infer how the feudal town could not be lost under the rule of the emperor of later generations!" ”

Immediately after that, he suddenly put down his hand and looked at Li Qing with sparkling eyes: "Does the virtuous brother have a good plan?" ”

When Li Qing heard this, he took out an electric drill: "It takes 10 million." ”

“?” Li Shimin looked at the sizzling electric drill in puzzlement.

Seeing that Li Shimin couldn't pick up this stalk, Li Qing spread his hands and said to him: "I can only show you the problem, and I can't give you substantive suggestions to solve the problem, otherwise what would you do as Tang Taizong?" ”

"It's for my brother Meng Lang." Li Shimin sighed, every time he thought of those feudal towns, he couldn't stop having a headache.

Seeing that Li Shimin was uncomfortable, Li Qing couldn't help but say: "In fact, the most profitable way is to be able to completely consume these feudal soldiers like consumables through major victories in the outside world. Then by absorbing these veterans of a hundred battles, using them as the backbone to strengthen the imperial forbidden army, and strengthen the backbone step by step. ”

"It's easier said than done." Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh: "Wouldn't it be better if the feudal towns could listen to the tune and let them go to a tough fight with the Tubo people?" ”

"In the final analysis, it's a matter of price, and then again, in fact, the Tang Dynasty should also move the capital," Li Qing opened the map and pointed to the location of Chang'an: "You see, due to climate change and the increase in population burden, Chang'an is actually not suitable to continue to exist as the capital, and the resource supply of such a huge capital in the Guanzhong region is also stretched, so the emperors of later generations after the Tang Dynasty chose the land of Heshuo, the capital of Heshuo." ”

"How can the bitter cold border of Heshuo become the capital?" Li Shimin couldn't help but frown subconsciously.

"You may not know that from the later Yuan Shizu to the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, it has been the capital for almost 700 years." Li Qing smiled and continued to say to Li Shimin: "Generally speaking, the capital of the country is set at the center of gravity. This center of gravity refers to the center of gravity of the country's resources, population, and interests......"

"Then according to your theory, the capital should be set in the Jianghuai region." Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he pointed to the Jianghuai region on the map and said: "Since the two Jin Dynasty, the Jianghuai region has gradually become the center of economic gravity, why not choose to be the capital here?" ”

"Brother Li, this is already the economic center of gravity, and you still want to make him a political center of gravity, so don't you want the north?" Li Qing smiled: "Of course, the capital should be constantly changing with actual needs, the Tang Dynasty set the capital of Chang'an at the beginning, on the one hand, because Chang'an is surrounded by mountains and easy to defend and difficult to attack, on the other hand, because the sphere of influence of the meritorious old nobles is in Guanzhong, and they need to unite to fight against the wealthy families in the Central Plains." ”

"Since the fall of the Tang Dynasty......"

As soon as he said this, Li Shimin's face darkened.

"Under the multi-dimensional blows of various generations of emperors, the Anshi Rebellion, the Huangchao Uprising, etc., the Hao clan gradually dissipated, and the internal threat of the Central Plains Dynasty was gone, and the contradiction became a contradiction in the relationship between agriculture and pastoralism......"
