The old poisoner didn't pay attention to Sun Simiao anymore, but what Sun Simiao said was right. Although the food he baked was not unpalatable, it couldn't be compared with what Luo Zhang baked. At this time, he and Sun Simiao missed Luo Zhang a little. .
Among the army hundreds of miles away from Luoyang City, Luo Zhang was leading a group of men and horses towards Luoyang City.
He did not go with Li Jing's army. If he had gone with them, it would have taken another month to reach Chang'an City.
The reason why he set off early was because of the letter Luo Shiba gave him. After being ambushed in Liujiazhuang, Luo Shiba did not dare to conceal it and passed the news to Luo Zhang on the same day.
After receiving the news, Luo Zhang was naturally furious. Dare to touch his people, which was like pulling out a tiger's beard. How could this be tolerated? Luo Zhang immediately told Li Jing about the matter.
When he heard that General Gao Gouli who was sent to Chang'an was attacked, Li Jing was also shocked. He told Luo Zhang to be careful and asked Luo Zhang to go back quickly.
After all, these people were assassinated. Obviously, the situation in Chang'an is not optimistic. Luo Zhang can help His Majesty if he can return as soon as possible.
As for Li Jing himself, he can't leave. He is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. If he leaves, the three armies will be in chaos. When the hat is pulled off, he will not be able to eat and walk away. Luo Zhang is different. Now that he is a popular figure around His Majesty, no one would talk about him without opening their eyes.
However, Luo Zhang and Li Jing underestimated His Majesty. With Your Majesty's methods, why were you not prepared? Changsun Wuji was prepared. Li Shimin's preparations were more, not less. They just kept looking at the face of the deceased Empress Changsun. Li Shimin just kept silent.
But being patient, being patient, and being patient any longer is not the character of Li Shimin, and people are going to overthrow you, so how can you endure it? Naturally, he was uprooted. At this time, he no longer looked at whether Changsun Wuji was his uncle or not.
The road to the emperor is a bloody road without a heart of iron and blood. Why did he kill his eldest brother and third brother, put his father under house arrest, and ascend to the throne?
However, after that, Li Shimin wanted to restore some of his image because of what he had done before, so he showed gentle methods, but this did not mean that he did not dare to take action or kill people.
Chang'an City was in turmoil due to the mobilization of the Jinwu Guards. All the major families were in turmoil, and the streets were completely blocked. They could not send people to the streets to inquire for information. This made every family remain silent and extremely nervous, for fear of those who defended the city. Si's people would break into their homes with a large number of people.
Mainly, some families who had a close relationship with Changsun Wuji were in danger of disaster.
The list Li Shimin gave to Yu Wenyue, the commander of the City Defense Department, was also screened, and the targets of this screening were to separate business matters from conspiracy to rebel.
If we generalize, then all the slightly famous families in Chang'an City will suffer. In comparison, Changsun Wuji's property is extremely huge, and there are many people doing business with him. All major families have more or less contact with him. Li Shimin is also very clear about it.
Therefore, except for those families who participated in the rebellion, most of the others were let go. If they were all arrested, wouldn't he, the emperor, become a polished commander? Besides, these families are not vegetarians. If they were really pushed into a hurry, If we unite, I'm afraid it will become Changsun Wuji's wish.
Outside the city of Chang'an, hundreds of miles away, the royal family's chief elder, who was hurrying and rushing, finally caught up with Changsun Wuji's team when the sun turned west.
Seeing the smoke and dust billowing from behind, not only Changsun Wuji was a little nervous, but the offerings were also nervous.
I originally thought I had escaped, but I didn't expect that there were still pursuers. Those who dared to pursue them at this time must be someone easy to get along with. They must have extremely strong confidence in themselves and feel that they can stop them. , and only those who catch them dare to take action, otherwise with the strength of these people, they will surely die.
As the smoke and dust got closer and closer, Changsun Wuji knew that this was not possible. He opened the curtain and said to the elder who was following him: "Tell Mr. Ma and ask him to lead someone to stop him for a while. This is a favor to me, Changsun Wuji." take note of it!"
The great elder also knew that now was not the time to say more, and that Changsun Wuji was right to do so, so he nodded and rode forward.
