Chapter 324: Prepare to Fight!
The next day, Li Yunxiao went to the palace and chatted with Li Xian for a long time.
It's a pity that even if Li Yunxiao used some side tapping, he didn't ask anything useful.
But he could sense that the kid was lying, and there must be something hidden from him.
A few days later.
After Li Chong was instructed by Li Xian, he hurriedly returned home and handed the letter to his father Li Zhen.
"What's wrong with you, why are you panicking, you don't have to be so anxious to see your father, right?"
"Oh, father, I came back from the palace, you hurry, read the letter first, Your Majesty gave it, I haven't read it yet."
"A letter from Your Majesty? What are you researching? ”
Li Zhen opened the envelope as he spoke, and after reading a few lines, his brows furrowed.
"Father, Your Majesty's side..."
"Shh!!h Come in with the Father! ”
Li Zhen pulled Li Chong back into the house, closed the door tightly, as if feeling inappropriate, and the two came to a secret room again.
The meaning of the letter is similar to what Li Xian and Li Chong said, that is, to take this opportunity for the people to completely take back their rights at one time!
Then Li Xianhui imprisoned Wu Meiniang and restored Li Tang's glory!
Li Zhen paced back and forth in the secret room, frowning and contemplating.
I have to say that what Li Xian said makes sense, and he can't bear to watch the country being taken away by Wu Meiniang little by little, but he is afraid that he will not be able to raise troops and burn himself!
Li Chong looked at him and frowned, and snatched the envelope: "Father, the national disasters and disasters are all caused by Wu Meiniang, don't you think that it is because of her participation in politics that there are always natural disasters?" ”
Li Zhen frowned and said, "Confused, how can natural disasters be done by manpower?" ”
Li Chong replied: "Okay, let's not talk about natural disasters, let's say now, you may not know, Your Majesty, he actually has enough wisdom, and he has endured for many years just for this time!" ”
"Now that there are many wars along the border, it is just right to cooperate with Your Majesty inside and outside, and if you don't raise troops quickly, will you go after the outside is calmed down!"
Li Zhen smiled bitterly: "Chong'er, you are still a general, you see this battle too simply." ”
"Your Majesty obviously wants us to be the ones who started the army, so that he can add fuel to the fire and make a good reputation."
Li Chong said with a look of surprise: "Isn't that just right?" What's the problem? ”
Li Zhen shook her head: "That Wu Meiniang's court soldiers are far superior to ours, if we raise troops in a hurry, how can we be her opponent?" ”
When Li Chong heard this, he knew that his father also had the intention of raising troops, and hurriedly said: "Father, take a closer look, who is in the Central Plains today. ”
"Although the Li family is nominally the emperor of the world, everyone knows that he is about to be set aside!"
"What she Wu Meiniang did was Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew it!"
"As the son of Taizong and the brother of Gaozong, does my father only care about his own safety, sit idly by, and let the Wu clan completely seize the Tang Dynasty?!"
Li Zhen was choked by her son's words, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
"It would be good if my Tang Emperor was here, and if he raised troops in his name, the people would be like a tide."
"Father, don't think about any emperors, he has gone into hiding, saying that it is ugly, he may be dead, if he has a spirit in the sky, he will bless our Li family!"
Li Zhen took a deep breath and muttered for a long time before nodding.
"Good! Since His Majesty has the intention, we naturally can't sit idly by, but Yuzhou is too close to Luoyang, let's start troops today, I'm afraid, Wu Meiniang will know tomorrow. ”
"If a large army comes one after another, how will we resist when the time comes?"
"I'm still waiting and seeing, since Your Majesty said in the letter that you will help, there must be others involved, and we will act when the opportunity arises!"
Li Chong hurriedly waved his hand: "My father's words are wrong, and it has been a great righteousness since ancient times to raise troops to rebel, how can you wait and see?" ”
"Now how many people are hiding their strength, if the father and the king are righteous and the hearts of the people are appeased, then everyone will be united, the kings will follow, and we will gather in Heluo, and we will definitely be able to compete with the Wu clan!"
"Even if we are defeated and die, we still do not lose the name of loyalty and filial piety, why worry about it, we will not live up to the ancestors of the first emperor, why be afraid!!"
Li Zhen looked at Li Chong's death-defying appearance and sighed deeply.
It is easy to sacrifice one's life for righteousness, but who in the world is not greedy for life?
Li Chong guessed his mind when he saw his father's expression, so he simply let it go.
"Father is thinking that Wu Meiniang is not bad to our family, even if the government of the Qing Dynasty is purged, it will not implicate us, right?"
"But have you ever wondered if there are no eggs under the nest? Even if you save your life, what dignity do you have in the future? ”
"You are loved by the people here, and you have the name of a virtuous king, if you delay like this, your reputation will not be ruined!"
"Alas!" Li Zhen waved his sleeves and turned his head: "Then the people are doing well, how can my father let them go on an adventure with them?" ”
Li Chong hurriedly came to the other side: "Father!! ”
"How do you know that the people are willing to live under the rule of the Wu Clan, are they really happy?"
"Don't delay, you have forgotten that Li Yifu falsely accused others before, causing many officials to be dismissed."
"How many people like him are there in the imperial court today? If another Li Yifu comes out and jumps out to falsely accuse us of a false crime, we won't be able to escape death after all! ”
"Now it's rare that Your Majesty has the heart, and wants to join forces with us to overthrow the demon woman, Kuang Fu Chaogang, my father knows the plan and hides the army, if you go down, what face do you have to see your ancestors and ancestors, and what face do you have to stand here to face today?"
Li Zhen was shocked when he heard this, yes, if this is the case, how can he face the ancestors and ancestors when he goes down?
"Son... You... You're right. Li Zhen sighed: "I am not as good as my son thinks about my age!" ”
"That's it! Well, for my father who is over sixty years old, there is nothing to care about, and it is for your sake to think about it repeatedly, since my son is willing to do this, if my father is doing something to stop it, isn't it confused? Let's do it! ”
"!"
Under Li Chong's persuasion, Li Zhen finally fell into the definition.
He then wrote a letter himself and gave it to his confidants to send to His Majesty.
Since Li Xian advocates this matter, then he must have prepared a backhand!
In the imperial city, after Li Xian received Li Zhen's letter, the corners of his mouth lifted a curvature, and he began to write an edict.
[I am imprisoned, the king and others, ready to take this opportunity to send troops to save me! 】
This edict was secretly sent to various places, and many of the sons of the late Dao kings and some of the reigning ministers responded.
Their approach is very unified, that is, they are silently stationing troops, ready to rush to Luoyang in one go!
More than ten days have passed.
Li Chong saw so many people responding, and he had a bottom in his heart.
But Li Zhen's brows never relaxed.
It's quite fierce now, and if it really starts, how many people will come forward by then.
Moreover, although there are many clans mobilized, there are few who are really powerful, and they are all echoed by the addition of officials and lords guaranteed by Li Xian.
In the end, it may be up to them, the kings, to decide the winner!
