Chang'an City. The drums for summoning officials in Chang'an Imperial City rang several times. After the last drum sounded, all the princes and ministers who were in Chang'an City had already dressed in court clothes and arrived at the Chang'an Tai Chi Hall.
Although I don’t know why they were summoned, the rules handed down cannot be messed with. But just as everyone was whispering there and looking at what was going on around them, the sound of His Majesty's arrival shocked everyone.
His Majesty? Your Majesty has arrived? Now there is only one person who can be called your Majesty, and that is their wise and mighty Majesty Li Shimin.
When everyone was very surprised about what happened to Li Shimin, a familiar figure walked in from the rear door of Taiji Hall, accompanied by a group of eunuchs and maids, and came to sit on the main seat of Taiji Hall.
Seeing that it was Li Shimin they were familiar with, everyone here shouted long live. Li Shimin looked at them and waved.
"The ministers have been brought to justice." As soon as the ministers were brought to justice, they began to discuss state affairs. Let all officials start reporting on what is going on in the country now.
One problem after another was put in front of Li Shimin. Fortunately, Li Shimin now has plenty of money. He doesn't need money to solve any problems. He just uses the money he has collected from the treasury for several years.
Disaster relief is what needs to be done, relief is what needs to be done, just do what needs to be done. After a series of problems that can only be solved with money are solved, there will be chaos everywhere.
At this moment, Li Shimin made a thunderous move, and all the soldiers gathered and began to eliminate them. The generals from all over the country also had to do what they should do.
There are also those governors who are placed in prominent positions. They must also take action to prevent these little ones from causing trouble to the place.
But just after this matter was settled easily, and they were about to discuss the affairs of the Turks in the North, suddenly a eunuch rushed in from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, it's not good." Everyone was stunned when they saw that the eunuch actually wrapped the white sand around his head.
How is this going? Li Shimin couldn't help but admire the arrangements made by Changsun Wuji and others, looking at the servants beside Li Yuan.
Many officials know him. The eunuch he arranged came and asked curiously.
"What's going on with you? How can you be so flustered?" But as soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch hurriedly cried and said.
"Your Majesty! The Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Emperor has ascended to heaven!" After these words, Li Shimin suddenly stood up.
"What are you talking about? You are talking nonsense. Isn't my father a good person? I even went to see my father before I came here."
"Your Majesty, the Emperor was fine just now, but suddenly he fell from his seat and actually ascended to heaven." The eunuch was crying there, and Li Shimin couldn't help being shocked when he heard this.
"This... what should I do?" Changsun Wuji hurriedly stepped out.
"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor is the Supreme Emperor of our Tang Dynasty. If the Supreme Emperor ascends to heaven, then we must bury him. Let the Supreme Emperor rest in peace. But we cannot let the Supreme Emperor feel cold like this. He has worked hard for our Tang Dynasty all his life and we have to let him go in glory." The eldest grandson As soon as Wuji finished speaking, Li Shimin became a little angry.
"What are you talking about? Of course I know that my father has worked hard for the Tang Dynasty all his life, but there are Turks in the north. I was just about to mobilize soldiers and horses to conquer the Turks, and suddenly this happened. You asked me How to do it?" Li Shimin expressed his worries, but all the officials remained silent.
The death of the Supreme Emperor is a big deal. If a new emperor ascends the throne, the original emperor's death will make the new emperor's accession to the throne trump the emperor's death.
But now that the emperor is fine, the death of the supreme emperor is a bit outrageous. Such a thing has never happened before. Should it be a grand burial or a simple burial?
But just when they were worried here, suddenly there was another sound outside the hall.
"Good news! Great victory, great victory in the North." Following the voice, a general with a red flag on his back quickly rushed into the hall, ignored the eunuchs, stepped forward and knelt in front of Citizen Li.
"Your Majesty, there is a great victory in the North. Your Highness the Prince has defeated the enemy army and destroyed nearly 30,000 enemies in one stop." After the messenger said this, Li Shimin suddenly became happy.
"Okay! Very good! My father has just passed away. This is a time when the whole country is heartbroken. Now that the prince has sent such good news, I feel very relieved. I think it is very appropriate to send my father to heaven with this good news." Everyone was originally worried about the Turks in the north, but in this battle, Li Chengqian defeated the Turks, killing and capturing 30,000 Turks, and they couldn't help but feel very excited.
Li Shimin hurriedly waved his hand and brought up the memorial. Soon, the message came. After bringing up the memorial, Li Shimin read it over and said loudly.
"The Crown Prince is indeed my good prince. He has done a great job in supervising the country. Look at the prince's troops divided into three groups: left, middle and right. The middle group directly defeated the Turkic main force and wiped out 20,000 people, and the two wings were also good. Defeated the Turks who came to delay them, and captured another ten thousand. Now the remaining Turks are trapped in the city and defending the city. Don't worry about the vanguard of the Turks. I will gather the army and go north after the funeral for my father. The battle between the Turks will be decided." Li Shimin must bury Li Yuan. This is what he has to do in name, but he cannot see anything wrong there.
Only by letting Li Yuan cease to exist in name can Jinling be disapproved of. Just after Li Shimin gave the order, everyone complimented Li Shimin for his sage, and then discussed what specifications and model should be used for Li Yuan's funeral.
However, before the reasons were discussed, the imperial court's will was already announced to the world. Your Majesty is fine, but the Supreme Emperor has passed away.
Soon, Chang'an City was filled with many white sails for funerals, and interested people began to spread the news, but the more the news spread, the more unimaginable it was.
Li Yuan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Jinling. This is very shocking. Which one of these things is true and which one is false?
Public opinion soon fell into a war of words. The people in Jinling said that Li Shimin in Chang'an was a fake and that Li Shimin ascended to heaven. But Li Shimin said that Li Yuan in Jinling was a fake. Li Yuan had already ascended to heaven in Chang'an City. How could he go to Jinling to ascend the throne and become emperor?
In addition, on the Chang'an side, Li Jing personally ordered troops and dispatched manpower to conquer Jinling. As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar.
This is really unexpected. Who is real and who is fake can only depend on Li Jing's battle. As long as Li Jing defeated Chang'an City, it would be true. If Li Jing lost, then Jinling would be true.
No matter who he is, who is real or fake, in the end, only one can be left. In Jinling, Li Yuan soon received the news that Li Shimin was fine, and sent General Li Jing to dispatch troops and horses to conquer Jinling.
No one can understand the expression on Li Yuan's face now. He is both happy and a little annoyed. He was happy that his prince was fine, but he was upset that he finally ascended the throne as emperor again and really had a lot of real power.
The Xie family also intended to let him have some power so that their Queen Xie could give birth to a son for Li Yuan.
Only in this way can we legitimately occupy the Li Tang kingdom. Although Li Yuan also knew these things, this son was really his, and he could ascend the throne and become emperor.
Li Yuan was worried and happy, while Li Shimin was also a little unhappy. Zhang Liang has already reported that his two stupid sons have been controlled by others. It is definitely not his two sons who spread the news, but the identity of his sons. However, under such circumstances, Li Shimin has no choice. , had no choice but to issue an order to demote King Wei and Li Tai to common people and remove their clan status.
However, after Li Shimin did this, Li Yuan actually restored Li Tang's identity for the two of them.
Moreover, the kings of Wei and Wu did not even have any changes in their fiefdoms and treatment. This suddenly made those aristocratic families even more proud. As for Luoyang Zhang Liang has become a rebel.
Of course, this aristocratic family has taken refuge in Botang. However, Zhang Liang still stood unswervingly against Li Shimin. However, just as these aristocratic families were complacent, they became careless again. This time they were serious about attacking the rebels for the Tang Dynasty. As long as they broke through Luoyang. Chang'an, after occupying Chang'an, you can go to Chang'an.
In this way, the Qin Dynasty formed the trend of the Warring States Period, and then went out of Hangu Pass in the east to devour the world. But just when the situation was getting more and more confusing, Wang Huan saw Zhang Liang next to him and asked cautiously.
"General Zhang, the current situation is so unclear, we..." Before Wang Huan could finish speaking, Zhang Liang looked at him and smiled.
"Don't you believe that your majesty, your majesty, is safe and sound? The emperor also passed away in Chang'an. Don't you believe this? Instead, you want to believe that these rebellious ministers and traitors, the emperor of a noble family, proclaimed himself emperor in Jinling, and you are going to Jinling to follow the emperor's orders?" Zhang Liang just teased Wang Huan, and Wang Huan hurriedly shook his head.
"How could I do such a thing? I definitely believe in your majesty, but General Li will definitely be victorious when he goes out to conquer." As soon as Wang Huan finished speaking, Zhang Liang nodded.
"Of course, who is General Li? The destruction of the country is just child's play for him, not to mention that there are not many strong troops stationed in Jinling, and the generals have followed His Majesty's orders and have begun to assemble towards General Li. Yes." As soon as Zhang Liang finished speaking, Wang Huan nodded.
"In this case, why not wait until General Li breaks Jinling before we head out of the city. After all, these men are all the sons of the Tang Dynasty. They have been fighting for a long time for that little news, and the sons of the Tang Dynasty are constantly dying. I think I can't bear it in my heart!" Wang Huan said this, and Zhang Liang looked at him and smiled.
"You are kind-hearted, but we are waiting for them. If they really train into a powerful force and attack Luoyang City, won't they still be dead or wounded in the end? We should not take advantage of them before they are fully trained. Are you going to defeat them with a surprise move?" After saying this, Wang Huan didn't know what to do for a moment, Zhang Liang patted him on the shoulder and spoke seriously.
"I also know that Governor Wang wants to retain part of our strength for the Tang Dynasty. However, the current situation is not that we will be safe and sound by retaining our strength. It should be for the sake of our Datang Dynasty, and even more so that our Lord can go north to solve the Turks with peace of mind. How can you be so benevolent as a woman when you are fighting? If His Majesty's march to the north is delayed, or His Majesty has not gone north to the Turks to move south on a large scale, how many people will be in trouble at that time?" Wang Huan was taught a lesson by Zhang Liang. Nothing unpleasant, just looking at him.
"I understand, then I will mobilize Luoyang's food and grass manpower as soon as possible to prepare to receive them and treat them." Zhang Liang smiled happily when he saw Wang Huan say this.
"Then I will wait for Governor Wang. I will send troops tonight to let these people know what price they will pay for daring to act recklessly here."
