Shang Caiwei said angrily: "Li Zheng, why are you so uncompetitive and forget the suffering of the people in the world? First of all, regardless of whether the saint is a wise monarch or not, if you don't take this opportunity to seize power, will you let Sima and his son hold the power, or let Huang Chao sweep the world? The great change lies in this, you can't be a woman's kindness." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Li Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't do it, after all, he is my father", after all, he had already burst into tears.

Everyone immediately had no master, Li Zheng gave up like this, wouldn't he give up all his efforts, so how would it end!

Seeing this, Tang Xizong was overjoyed and said, "Come on, immediately plan to make a show, canonize Li Zheng, the king of Wu, as the prince, and announce it to the world." ”

Concubine E on the side suddenly said, "Holy can't, the throne belongs to your youngest son!"

Tang Xizong reflexively slapped him and scolded, "Get out!"

Immediately, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will never break my word."

Concubine E covered her face and didn't dare to speak.

Xie Tong kept staring at Li Zheng to see if he reacted.

I saw Li Zheng staring at the sky, but he didn't mean to speak, obviously acquiescing to this matter, Xie Tong knew that he was a person who valued affection and righteousness, and it was difficult to let go of the deep affection of this father and son, it seemed that it would be difficult to get his wish tonight, but he thought about it, although he couldn't let Li Zheng force Tang Xizong to give way, but right now, no matter what conditions he said, Tang Xizong would definitely agree one by one, thinking of this, Xie Tong smiled sheepishly. Shengshang, since the prince is already the prince, before the rank, it is bound to condense the imperial power, and now Sima Xuan's father and son are in command of the army, and they are the supporters of the concubine, hearing this, they are bound to raise troops to fight, and they have to be guarded, and the last general suggested that their father and son should be recalled to Chang'an immediately, hand over the military power, and change to the command of the prince, so as to remove the big trouble."

Tang Xizong said without hesitation, "Yes, yes, what General Xie said is reasonable, and he immediately drafted the decree and ordered Sima Xuan and Sima Xiangru to return to Beijing as soon as possible to obey the order!"

Xie Tong saw his flattering appearance, and felt sick in his heart, as an emperor, he was greedy for power, for his own selfish desires, he didn't even want dignity, he thought about it for a long time, Tang Xizong is a villain, he will change his hexagram at any time, he must have reservations, once Tang Xizong changes his hexagram, they will end up very miserable.

Without waiting for Xie Tong to speak, Lao Lai said, "Please issue an edict to remove Li Xuan, Li Yuan and others from their positions, and appoint the last general to guard the imperial city." ”

Tang Xizong smiled bitterly, now that the imperial city and his own life are all in the hands of the other party, don't talk about it, just let his concubine go to bed, he didn't hesitate, and nodded busily, "Quasi!"

Xie Tong glanced at Li Zheng, he was still at a loss, maybe he was really dead, not for anything else, but for his father's greed and selfishness.

The matter was easily resolved, and it was fought in the middle of the night, and it turned out to be such an ending, but fortunately, although he did not get the throne, he was also in power, and Tang Xizong could no longer set off any bee waves.

It was late at night, Xie Tong and the others left in a hurry after asking Tang Xizong for peace, Lao Lai was not polite at all, and directly lived in the imperial city, and now Chang'an and the imperial city are already Xie Tong's world.

Everyone slept comfortably, until the next day when they woke up, it was noon, last night everyone was very tired, continuous attack on Chang'an City and the Imperial City, and it was overnight, which in the past, were unthinkable, and now it has become a reality.

After everyone had eaten, they all gathered in Lao Lai's new office and the spacious room of the Imperial City Tower.

When Xie Tong walked on the city wall, the blood stains on the wall had not been washed away, showing everywhere that there was a fierce battle here last night, and the people in Chang'an City were also panicked, not knowing what was going on, and only heard the sound of shouting and killing in the sky last night.

The heralds had already left the city, and with the holy decree of Tang Xizong, they went to Tongguan and Luoyang.

That holy decree, Xie Tong read it five or six times, and only after confirming that there was no problem did he let it go, after all, he was very worried, lest there was any hidden secret in it, after all, they were only tens of thousands of horses, including the team in the city, and they were far from being the opponent of Sima Xuan's army.

Once Sima Xuan didn't listen to the order and changed his banner, he really had no choice, after all, their father and son had ghosts in their hearts.

Xie Tong brought everyone here to discuss this matter.

Lao Lai took the lead and said, "Xie boy, you seem to have forgotten one thing, outside Chang'an City, there is another army, the number of 30,000 Xu, responsible for guarding the safety of the Beijing Division, we have taken Chang'an by skill, we can't be complacent, we must always be on guard against the army outside the city, otherwise it is easy to be the enemy in the opposite way, at that time, the brothers will not be here, they will have been sent to the guillotine." ”

Xie Tong pondered for a moment, and said, "This is easy, let the saint draw up a holy decree, and enter the city with the leader outside the city, as long as he enters the city, it is not up to us to have the final say, and then change Huo Xiaozi to lead the army outside the city, wouldn't it be beautiful." ”

Huo Zixin said happily, "This dare is good, Lao Tzu likes to be an official the most, thank you, boy, don't let the saint draw up the decree."

Lao Lai saw Xie Tong's trance-like appearance, knowing that he was greatly affected by last night, and said with a smile, "I'll accompany you! However, you are a general, at least you have to invite Lao Tzu to a drink!"

Huo Zixin said happily: "It's not a thing!"

The two of them went out side by side and headed towards Tang Xizong's resting place.

Xie Tong is in a bad mood, or not in a good mood, since he entered the WTO, he dreams of one day, to be able to realize the righteousness of the master, such as today's time and place, Tang Xizong in his hands, it can be said that the son of heaven is in order to order the princes, and the prince Li Zheng is also his brother in life and death, the righteousness of the master, those truths will have the opportunity to realize, remove Sima Xuan, defeat Huangchao Zhu Wen, he can implement the policy that is beneficial to the people of the poor family, now it seems that it is all in the bag, but he is not happy, I don't know why, it seems that everything is coming too fast, giving people an unreal feeling, or a kind of uneasiness, he doesn't know what is missing, forgot something, that feeling of uneasiness always ran through his heart, and at the end of this day, he was a little frightened.

Hong Shan saw his abnormality and asked with concern, "Brother Hitomi, how are you?"

Xie Tongqiang squeezed out a smile and said, "It's nothing, maybe I've been too tired lately!"

Hong Shan knew that he didn't want to say, so he had to stop asking.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Lao Lai and Huo Zixin returned with a smile, no need to ask, just look at their mental outlook, and know that things are going extremely well, and Huo Zixin became a general as he wished.

Wu Zhiting leaned up and said, "Huo boy, become a general!"

Huo Zixin said with a smile on his face, "Of course, Lao Tzu now has 20,000 horses under his command, all cavalry, and now he can be described as majestic." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone laughed.

Chang'an City finally fell into their hands, and the number of troops added together was sixty or seventy thousand.

Five days passed, and no news came from the front.

On this day, Xie Tong woke up early and called everyone to Lao Lai's territory to discuss the military.

Lao Lai was puzzled, "Xie boy, the situation is not good, after so many days, there should be movement ahead!"

Xie Tong said, "How far is our scout from Chang'an?"

Wu Zhiting was in charge of the scouts, and said busily, "The farthest is near Tongguan, but Tongguan is closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, as if it is isolated from the world, and there is no news!"

Huo Zixin said, "This is all a ghost idea made up by Sima Xuan, I think it is to block the news, hey, Brother Yuwen is very likely to be assassinated by him." If Lao Tzu knew that he dared to be unfavorable to Brother Yuwen, he would definitely cut off his dog's head. ”

Lao Lai said, "However, Tongguan is not far from Chang'an, and the news should have been delivered early, didn't Sima Xuan dare to resist the decree?"

Xie Tong hesitated for a moment, and said, "He doesn't have the courage to do so, it's not that he is disrespectful, it's likely that the front has won a big victory or defeat, if it's a big victory, he will definitely return to the dynasty with momentum, at that time, who dares to remove him from his official position and deprive him of his military power, as the saying goes, the general will not be subject to the order of the king outside, what he needs is a day or two! Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, he sensed something, and first secretly sent someone back to the capital to inquire about the news, and he moved slowly. ”

Hong Shan interjected, "The possibility of the second is relatively high, after all, there are hundreds of thousands of horses on both sides, and it is impossible to distinguish the winner in a short period of time, although Sima Xuan does not understand military affairs, he is also an old and serious person, and he will not rush forward easily, and Zhu Wen is even more unlikely to be defeated by their father and son, the only explanation is that he noticed something."

Huo Zixin said, "This is bad, something happened in Chang'an, although the news is blocked, outsiders don't know what happened, but the people heard the shouting and killing, this is a fact that cannot be concealed, Sima Xuan is cunning and cunning, he will definitely be able to guess."

When Xie Tong heard this, he immediately said, "Pass the order, from now on, Huo Zixin will lead the troops into Chang'an, block the nine gates, strictly check the personnel and personnel, and find suspicious people, etc., all of them will be arrested and brought to justice, but they can be cut first and then played, as for the princes and nobles and ministers in the Beijing Division, they must also be closely monitored, and if suspicious characters are found to have fornication, they will all be arrested, and this news must not be leaked out." ”

The order was quickly carried out, and Chang'an was completely transformed into an isolated city.

At dusk on the third day, Xie Tong and others were drinking and discussing, and the scout suddenly came to report that a large group of people came from the direction of Tongguan, and it seemed that there were as many as 20,000 or 30,000.

Everyone immediately became alert, Sima Xuan came back, and brought so many people, it seems that the comer is not good.

Lao Lai immediately said: "Investigate again, report again!"

Not long after, the spies came to report that "Sima Xuan's father and son have entered the city, only bringing more than 100 guards, and they did not return to the house after entering the city, but went directly to the imperial city!"

Huo Zixin patted his thigh and said with a smile, "This old Wang Ba is not small, such a person dares to enter the city, this time we will come to an urn to catch turtles, so that he will not return." ”

Lao Lai said, "Sima Xuanren is old and sophisticated, and there are times when he is fooled, but we can't be careless, tell the brothers to get ready." ”

Xie Tong nodded, the anxiety of many days has gone, replaced by a surging mood, victory is finally close at hand, he smiled and said, "Tell the brothers not to do it first, and wait for Sima Xuan's father and son to talk after they enter the palace."

Immediately, he continued, "Go and inform the Holy Lord and the Prince, and then he will go to the Jinluan Hall immediately, let's go, we will also go to the Jinluan Hall and wait for Lord Taiwei." ”

Everyone cheered, and they all followed Xie Tong to the Jinluan Palace.

When Xie Tong arrived at the Jinluan Palace, Tang Xizong was already sitting high, and after Xie Tong and the others symbolically greeted Tang Xizong, they stood aside, quietly waiting for the arrival of Sima Xuan's father and son.

Not much. The guards shouted, and the captain asked to see him.

Tang Xizong said embarrassedly, "Let him come in." ”

"Lord Xuantai. ”

Sima Xuan's father and son walked into the hall side by side, Xie Tong saw it clearly, the two of them were very embarrassed, and their faces also leaked tiredness, which was far from the big man who could not be seen at the beginning.

For the first time, Xie Tongshang faced his opponent with the high posture of a victor, and the important minister who commanded the power of the empire was in an indescribably happy mood.

Sima Xuan's father and son saw Xie Tong and the others standing on both sides of the main hall, their bodies were shocked, obviously they couldn't believe such a fact, and they couldn't think of why Xie Tong was here, but he was old and serious, and he didn't show too much surprise, but kowtowed and said, "Long live my emperor, long live."

Tang Xizong said: "Lord Taiwei, please get up." ”

Sima Xuan did not get up, but continued to kowtow, saying, "The old minister is guilty, please punish the saint."

Everyone present was stunned, what kind of routine was this Sima Xuan playing, he had not yet surrendered his guilt, so he pleaded guilty first, what was the reason! Logically speaking, there should not be such a thing, could it be that he admitted defeat, disarmed and surrendered?

Tang Xizong frowned and said, "I don't understand now, what is the guilt of Lord Taiwei."

Sima Xuan continued to kowtow, "The old minister is guilty." Immediately he said with tears in his eyes, "After the old ministers arrived at Tongguan, they planned to use the advantage of troops to wipe out the thieves in one fell swoop, and fought with the enemy in Luoyang, which was originally an advantageous situation, but unexpectedly fell into Zhu Wen's treacherous plan, and was broken by the thieves digging the water of the Yellow River, our army suffered heavy losses, only less than 50,000 horses fled back, unable to resist the enemy, and now, Tongguan has also been lost, and General Yuwen, the general of Tongguan, has been martyred, and the enemy has opened Chang'an. ”

"What?" Tang Xizong stood up in astonishment, not only was he surprised, but everyone in the hall was shocked, the Tang army was actually defeated, and even Tongguan was lost, this is a fact that no one can predict.

It is foreseeable that Huang Chao will definitely wave his army to attack Chang'an, but with the current situation of Chang'an, what is the stubborn defense!

Datang's elite troops have been depleted.

Tang Xizong's face became very ugly, it was a kind of fear from the heart, he was afraid of Huang Chao even more than he was afraid of Xie Tong, after all, Xie Tong did not have a deep hatred with him, and Huang Chao was a demon who killed people without blinking.

The Tang Dynasty is about to fall, this is a question that everyone is thinking about.

Xie Tong's joy was swept away, and he was full of joy to welcome the expected victory, but now, an astonishing news broke this situation, making the results of his multi-day operation come to naught, and an even more unimaginable picture poured into his mind. (To be continued.) )
