Chapter 185: Quelling the Rebellion
"Impossible, how could you order the Sword of Life and Death. That's my sword. The Demon General's head was tingling, like countless thin needles interspersed, and he continued to sweat in pain. What frightened him the most was that the purple flames continued to burn the sword spirit, even if he tried his best to understand the sea of mind, it couldn't stop the purple flames, but made him more and more painful, and the yuan power in the sky and sea was consumed in an instant. Seeing Li Leng's sword of life and death slashing, he knew that he couldn't resist it, and the demon general smiled fiercely, "If you want to die, everyone will die together." "I actually used my right hand to block the sword of life and death. The craziest thing is that he reversed the Yuan Force in the Heavenly Sea, obviously wanting to blow up his body and die with Li Leng. Death will never make Li Leng feel better.
Seeing this, Zhou Wenbo's face changed greatly, and he exclaimed, "Your Majesty, retreat quickly." Shi Shiyong flew up desperately, no matter what, he had to stop the demon general from blowing himself up, and he had to protect the safety of the Son of Heaven. For Datang, Li Leng's safety is related to Datang's safety, so they would rather die themselves than protect Li Leng's safety. Shi Shiyong roared angrily and shouted: "Demon thief, dare to hurt my Tang Emperor, look for death!" When his body rushed into the air, he suddenly felt a powerful force striking over, and he flew back upside down, his feet fell to the ground, and he took a few steps back, Shi Shiyong looked at Li Leng in mid-air with a puzzled face, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty!"
"No one is allowed to fly up without my orders. Li Leng was bubbling with a strong purple flame all over his body, and he had a momentum that was not angry but powerful.
Zhou Wenbo took Shi Shiyong's hand and said, "General Shi, we have to believe Your Majesty." He told us not to interfere, and there must be a reason for him. Let's wait and see what happens. Also, order the Tiger Ben Army to prepare for battle, once Your Majesty wins, the next step is to eliminate the demons in Chang'an City and the remnants of Li Chengqian's troops. There was also a deep worry in his eyes, but for now, he had to believe in Li Leng and believe that the Son of Heaven had the ability to deal with the crisis in front of him. Since he began to pay attention to this young man, this son of heaven has continued to create miracles for them, allowing him to see the hope of Datang to unify the world in the future. He also felt that the Son of Heaven did not let them interfere, did not let them take risks, and at the same time let them spy on the enemy in the shadows.
Although Shi Shiyong was worried, he was deeply afraid that the Son of Heaven would make a mistake, and no one could afford to take this responsibility. However, the prime minister believes in the Son of Heaven so much, he is also willing to give it a go, believes in the Son of Heaven once, nodded, and said: "Prime Minister rest assured, my Tiger Ben army is on standby at any time, and none of the remnants of the demon clan and Li Chengqian's enemies can escape." There was a thick murderous aura in his eyes.
The demon general had already attacked, Li Leng looked very serious, and the sword of life and death in his hand cut off the right arm of the demon general without any resistance. The demon general screamed, suddenly grabbed Li Leng with his left hand, and laughed: "Let's die together!" Just as he was about to explode his body, he suddenly felt that the Tianhai in his body had no yuan power, and he couldn't form the power of self-explosion at all. In an instant, the demon general understood why Li Leng dared to fight him head-on. The purple flames not only incinerated his sword spirit, but also made him lose the ability to control the sword of life and death. At the same time, Tianhuo also burned his Tianhai's Yuan Force, making him a waste without Yuan Force for a short period of time. In this way, it would be easy for Li Leng to kill him. The demon general's face changed greatly, and he shouted in horror: "Li Leng, you can't die well!"
From the very beginning, Li Leng had made such a battle plan. How could a thoughtful person not think that he would use these few days to cultivate the Annihilation Sutra. As long as he cultivated the Annihilation Sutra, then his cultivation would definitely improve greatly, and that kind of sneak attack would not cause him much harm. Li thought of this, and the sneak attack was not to kill him, but to plant purple flames into his body, which was a deadly killing move. What a terrible scheming! Every step is calculated to the extreme, and if you were someone else, you would unknowingly fall for Li Leng's plan. The demon general laughed, admired Li Leng's scheming and methods, and said coldly: "What a terrible scheming! "Directly gave up resistance, the overall situation has been decided, he is fighting back, and he is not Li Leng's opponent, he will still die in Li Leng's hands.
"Poof......" The sword in Li Leng's hand mercilessly cut off the head of the demon general, and when he landed, the demon general's body fell. Li Leng's eyes widened, and the purple flames fell silently on the corpse of the demon general, and before the corpse of the demon general could land, it had been burned clean by the purple flames. Looking at the lively monks below, their faces turned pale with fright, and their eyes showed a deep sense of fear. Li Leng held the head of the demon general in one hand, and the sword of life and death in the other, fixed in mid-air, and tens of millions of monks under the proud world, one after another, powerful power, like a mountain, pressed everyone to kneel. Li Leng looked at the kneeling monk coldly, and said sharply: "Close the city gate and kill the enemy." "There is no mercy to the enemy, only the killing of Chiguoguo.
Zhou Wenbo and Shi Shiyong saw that the demon was about to die in the hands of Li Leng, and the new son of heaven raised the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty. "Order the Tiger Ben Army to close the city gate and carry out a frenzied slaughter of the remnants of the demon clan and Li Chengqian's troops.
For a time, everyone in Chang'an City was in danger, especially the remnants of the Demon Clan and Li Chengqian, who died in the hands of the Tiger Army. Three days later, the situation in Chang'an City stabilized. However, the scouts in the east, west, north and south have come with shocking news. The six major vassal states formed an alliance to form a situation of encirclement of the four places in the Tang Dynasty, and the situation in the Tang Dynasty suddenly became grim. The military situation from all over the country flew into the palace like snowflakes, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the will of the new emperor. However, the strange thing is that after the various pieces of music were passed into the hands of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven did not have a will. Without the decree of the new Son of Heaven, the civil and military officials did not know what to do. Some people even speculate that the Son of Heaven is still scared and is thinking about how to surrender to the six vassal states.
Rumors spread in Chang'an City, and everyone was rumoring that the new emperor had secretly begged for mercy from the six major vassal states, and was willing to cede a large area of land in Sijiang in exchange for the withdrawal of the six vassal states. This is a great shame for Datang. The Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty is the world that will be conquered immediately, so the monarchs and ministers are very tough. For thousands of years, no monarch has ever ceded the land of the Tang Dynasty in exchange for temporary peace. If this is true, then the prestige of the new Son of Heaven will drop to freezing point in an instant. The internal stability that Datang has won so hard will also be divided into two factions, and they will fight endlessly, directly damaging Datang's vital forces. Shi Shiyong was very anxious, he didn't know how much truth this news had, but now that the Tang Dynasty had reached the point of nine deaths, the new emperor had no clear will, which would make the ministers of civil and military affairs panic. He went to find Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo several times, but the Prime Minister's Mansion was closed, which made him even more uneasy and flustered, and he didn't know what the Prime Minister's attitude was. Could it be that the rumors are true?
After another seven days, the will of the new emperor suddenly came from the palace, and a court meeting would be held early tomorrow morning, and the discussion was about the alliance of the six vassal states to attack the Tang Dynasty. This greatly lifted the spirits of Shi Shiyong and others, and the new emperor finally had a clear will.
Early the next morning, Shi Shiyong stood at the gate of the palace and came to block Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo. Not long after, I saw the blue-slab stone road at the gate of the palace, and Zhou Wenbo's bronze beast car slowly approached. Shi Shiyong straightened his clothes, bowed down, and said respectfully: "The last general, Shi Shiyong, see the Prime Minister." ”
After being silent for a while, Zhou Wenbo in the car said lightly: "General Shi, you really have perseverance! ”
Shi Shiyong smiled and said: "Now, it is too difficult for the last general to see the prime minister, there is no way, the last general can only block the palace." Anyway, the prime minister must be in the early dynasty. ”
"You Shi Shiyong...... They say you're a reckless general, but I think you're smarter than anyone else. Zhou Wenbo smiled, and didn't mean to blame Shi Shiyong, this kind of person goes straight and doesn't have much scheming, very good, and said lightly, "There is still a little time, you can get in the car first......! We said in the car. Let Shi Shiyong get into his car.
As soon as Shi Shiyong got into the car, Zhou Wenbo made him a cup of tea and invited him to tea. However, Shi Shiyong still had the heart to drink tea, sat opposite Zhou Wenbo, didn't care about any etiquette, and said in a slightly anxious tone: "Prime Minister, rumors have spread in the past few days, saying that Your Majesty has surrendered to the six major vassal states and ceded a large area of land in the Tang Dynasty. This is ...... Is it true?" looked at Zhou Wenbo with a nervous face, very worried that this rumor was true.
Zhou Wenbo couldn't help laughing, he still thought that Shi Shiyong was looking for something with him? It turned out to be to verify a rumor! He looked at Shi Shiyong with a smile and said, "Do you think Your Majesty will do this?"
Shi Shiyong said without thinking: "I don't think Your Majesty is such a person. In the face of the invasion of the demons, he was very tough. Now in the face of the six major vassal states, it is not as serious as the invasion of the demons, I believe that Your Majesty will not do such a thing, it is self-destructing the Great Wall!"
Zhou Wenbo shook his head and said lightly: "General Shi, you have miscalculated the danger of the alliance of the six major vassal states. With such a killing power, the Son of Heaven could not deter the six major vassal states. That shows that the six vassal states are not joking this time, they are determined to send troops to deal with our Tang Dynasty. ”
Shi Shiyong was anxious, and said a little angrily: "Then you can't betray the territory of my Tang Dynasty! That is the ancestors who worked hard little by little with blood, we must not be buried like this." The more he talked, the more angry he became, and a table slammed into the thud.
Zhou Wenbo was speechless, patted his forehead, and said helplessly: "You still don't praise you! I just told you about the crisis that Datang is currently encountering, when did I say that the Son of Heaven would cede land in exchange for the temporary peace of Datang? What's more, the wolf ambition of the six major vassal states, the more you do this, the more they want. I believe that the Son of Heaven would not be so stupid. Do something like this that is not good for him. ”
Shi Shiyong was overjoyed when he heard this, and a bright smile couldn't help but appear on his face, as if he understood the intention of the Son of Heaven to do this, he lowered his voice and said, "Prime Minister, you mean that the Son of Heaven did this on purpose, isn't it!?"
Zhou Wenbo smiled, touched his beard, and said slowly: "I didn't say anything! All this is your speculation, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
When Shi Shiyong saw Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo's cunning appearance and look, he knew that he had guessed correctly, this should be a trick by the Son of Heaven to lure the snake out of the hole and lure out all the enemies in the dark.
To quell the rebellion of the demon clan and Li Chengqian, the enemies within the Tang Dynasty have basically been eliminated, but it does not mean that all the enemies have been eliminated. There are still a lot of enemies in the dark, eyeing the tiger, if the Son of Heaven has any weakness or incompetence, these latent enemies will fight back and endanger the society of the Tang Dynasty. He could see this, and he must have seen it with the wisdom of the Son of Heaven. If you see it, you will definitely deploy it.
However, Shi Shiyong thought of another thing, and said softly: "Prime Minister, the Son of Heaven is almost an adult, so his marriage should also be decided." I think that the granddaughter of the Prime Minister is the best choice. I'm sure Your Majesty will see it too. ”
The prime minister smiled bitterly and sighed helplessly: "Although our majesty is only sixteen years old, his mind and means are far superior to those of us who are old immortals. His Majesty has his own opinions, especially when it comes to the selection of the queen, and His Majesty has his own ideas. ”
Shi Shiyong said: "Your Majesty's thoughts and thoughts, we don't care about them for now, the key is what the prime minister's granddaughter thinks? If she doesn't want to, then there is really no way." ”
Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo sighed, looking even more helpless and sad, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "My granddaughter is very devoted to Your Majesty, and your Majesty will not marry in this life." General Shi, I'm really not afraid of your jokes when I say such a thing. ”
Shi Shiyong said: "What's a good joke about this." Your Majesty is a young talent, Miss Zhou is the first beauty in the Tang Dynasty, they are talented and beautiful, and they are very compatible!"
Zhou Wenbo said: "However, the Qin girl next to Your Majesty, she is not small, but she is a member of the Qin family. Moreover, she is the woman who has accompanied His Majesty the longest. I'm afraid...... Things will change!"
"Do you mean Qin Yanran? That's impossible. Shi Shiyong's face turned cold, and he said coldly, "We found out that this person is very close to the monk of the demon clan. We suspect that she is a demon saint, a very terrifying female demon. ”
"Oh, there is such a thing!" Zhou Wenbo said slowly, "Then it is necessary to let Your Majesty know about this matter, and you must not let the monks of the Demon Clan endanger Your Majesty." ”
Shi Shiyong nodded and said firmly: "Prime Minister, please rest assured, Shi Mou will not fight for his life, and he will never let this female devil sit in the position of queen." ”
Zhou Wenbo bowed and saluted, and said: "General Shi is loyal to the country, and the old man admires it." ”
Shi Shiyong hurriedly returned the salute, not daring to accept such a big gift from the prime minister.
When they arrived at the Qiankun Palace, many ministers had already arrived, and even some princes did not dare to hold it up, waiting for the new emperor early.
