Chapter 238: Questioning (Part 2)
In the Taiji Palace, Tang Emperor Li Yuan fell into silence, and the atmosphere in the hall was even more cold and silent because of Li Shimin's words, and everyone understood the situation they were facing, unlike the united city a few days ago, in just a few days, they fell from heaven to hell!
The Tang Dynasty, which originally fell into the downwind, was a little weak in the face of the thriving Great Wu, and after receiving Xiang Yutian's support, the entire Tang Dynasty Hall, from Tang Emperor Li Yuan to the civil and military officials below, had a feeling of going straight from hell to heaven, even if this feeling was only built on an uncontrolled Xiang Yutian, but it was enough to make the Tang Dynasty ecstatic!
But this feeling didn't last long, and even most of the courtiers below only knew Xiang Yutian's identity in the last few days, and they just rejoiced for a few days, but they got such bad news, this feeling of falling from heaven to hell again is simply painful!
Among them, the most painful is the Tang Emperor Li Yuan and the crown prince Jiancheng, especially Li Jiancheng, who was originally forced by Li Yuan to deny Li Shimin because he brought Xiang Yutian and Ning Daoqi, and made him the prince, almost the most legitimate heir of the Tang Dynasty in the future, Li Shimin also fell into a predicament, and Li Jiancheng was proud of the spring breeze and was happy!
And then, and then there was no then......
When the results of the battle came, Li Jiancheng fainted in front of him on the spot, and now in this Taihe Palace, the news has been confirmed, and Li Jiancheng is even more unstable on his feet, if it weren't for the presence of hundreds of officials, I'm afraid he would have collapsed to the ground like Li Yuan......
Li Yuan fell into silence, all the officials felt the anger under Li Yuan's silence, the Son of Heaven was angry, bleeding and drifting, although Li Yuan was not a murderer, but the ministers at this moment all had a trembling feeling......
The silent Taihe Palace, which was like stagnant water, came from Li Yuan's faint sigh for a long time, "It's all gone, I'm a little tired...... " After that, the eunuch standing beside him quickly supported Tang Emperor Li Yuan to transfer to the apse, leaving the ministers who looked at each other, and the ministers looked at each other without saying a word, and they all came out speechlessly.

After the ministers dispersed, the eldest grandson Wuji and other staff and generals of the Tiance Mansion gathered in the Qin Palace, and they were still dull and speechless, even the hot-tempered Wei Chigong knew that the situation was critical at this time, and the newly surrendered general Qin Shubao and others were even more uneasy! These generals were the generals under Li Mi's command that Li Shimin received after he broke through Wagang, and among them, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Shubao, and Xu Shiji were the outstanding ones, and they were all entrusted with important tasks by Li Shimin, and they were all important roles in the Tiance Mansion.
"Now, the situation has deteriorated to this point, what do you think, let's talk about it, and I want to hear your opinions. Although Li Shimin is also uneasy in his heart, he is quite calm on the surface, compared to the panicked Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin is obviously more than a step stronger!
The eldest grandson Wuji is Li Shimin's chief military advisor, so he naturally knows that he must stand up in this situation, "Your Highness, now we seem to have fallen into an absolute inferiority, but in the end the foundation is still there! Even if the south wants to fight, it is not so easy! The top priority at the moment is, first of all, to stabilize the morale of the army and prevent civil strife! Now that the news of the war has spread all over the world, today in the court, the ministers can also see that many ministers have moved their minds, and the people's hearts are fluctuating. That's the real powerlessness!"
Under the turmoil, if no one stands up, I am afraid that the entire Tang Dynasty will fall apart without waiting for Kou Zhong to attack! After all, not long after the reunification of the north, many generals have not yet returned to their hearts, such as Wang Shichong, Li Mi, and others may not have the intention of opposing the Tang Dynasty again in this situation, and their old feelings are still there, if one is not good, it will make the results of Li Shimin's east-west conquest come to naught!
As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji said this, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Liu Wenjing and others agreed, and Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin, Xu Shiji and other generals were suddenly shocked, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said: "The last general has no dissent, and I hope that His Highness will be Mingjian!" Cheng Yanjin even yelled: "Your Highness, I will surrender to you if Lao Cheng descends, and there will be no objection, if His Highness hesitates, I Lao Cheng will crash to death on this pillar!"
Xu Shiji, Wei Chigong and others around him hurriedly pulled it up, to say that this Cheng biting gold, the power of the three-plate axe is indeed few people, it is a rare fierce general, fierce as fire, although it was not long after Li Shimin's account, but he and Yu Chigong smelled like a confidant, and became a close friend in a short period of time, and now after listening to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Yu Chigong hurriedly grabbed Cheng Biting Jin, and then knelt down and said: "Gong guarantees with the head of the Xiang, General Cheng's heart, every day can be seen!"
Li Shimin naturally did not doubt these fierce generals whom he admired very much, and personally went down to the palace to help Cheng Yanjin and the others, and said warmly: "The generals are all loyal and courageous, and they are lonely to death! Don't be suspicious because of Wuji's words, and what Wuji refers to is not a few generals......
The eldest grandson Wuji knew that he was scolding Huai, so he hurriedly remedied: "It's extreme, it's extreme! Wuji is speechless, Wuji is speechless! General Cheng, General Xu, General Qin, please accept Wuji!" After saying that, he really bowed deeply to the three of them.
Qin Shubao and the others eased their faces at this time, they were originally generals, if they were suspicious, I am afraid that the three of them would die without arguing......
Only then did Li Shimin say: "What Wuji said definitely did not refer to the three generals! However, it was an old saying, and now it is true that as Wuji said, internal stability is the top priority of the moment! Not every general is as glorious as the three of them, loyal and courageous! To put it mildly, for the three of them, Lone Nature is convinced. But when it comes to the prince and the secret duke, he has to guard against it!" Li Shimin is indeed telling the truth, the character of Qin Shubao and others, he Li Shimin is absolutely assured, but Wang Shichong and Li Mi and other politicians are by no means comparable to generals like Qin Shubao, their minds are complex, and the depth of the city government will never be newly thrown into the arms of the Tang Dynasty! Not to mention that it is a helpless move under the defeat of the army!
"Ladies and gentlemen, today my father suddenly lost his calm when he heard the shocking news, and when my father calmed down a little, he should enter the palace alone to state his interests to his father, with the strength of all of us, with nearly 10,000 Xuanjia troops, and with millions of armored soldiers, I may not be able to stop the southern offensive! When his sharp spirit is frustrated, and then he slowly plans to do it, he should have the strength of a battle! And this requires all of you to work together, help each other in the same boat, and rule the world together, and when you are alone, you will also find a way, and even ...... When the general trend has gone, I don't want you to sacrifice, and I hope that all the kings will stay here and do their best for the people of the world! After all, no matter who wins or loses, I believe that the world will usher in great governance! As for who will rule, it depends on the will of heaven!" )
