The situation has completely gotten out of control. Historically, Li Ke was slandered by Changsun Wuji as having the intention to rebel. The current situation is that he has to 'rebel', and he is also followed by a bunch of people from the Changsun family.
The line of history is messed up. Wu Meiniang appeared at least fifty years in advance, and gradually took control of the real power of Chang'an City. More importantly, she had two legitimate emperors and princes, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, in her hands. But now it was the king of Shu who raised the throne. The famous sword of anti-military righteousness.
Li Shimin walked on the road like a puppet, supported by Wu Meiniang. Now the Wu family could rely on the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but she also understood that this was a matter of life and death, especially to stabilize the current situation. The situation was suitable, and after repeated consideration, the military generals in the court obeyed the orders of the emperor in Chang'an City.
With the support of the Changsun family, the King of Shu has united many forces in Henan and Huaibei to form a military force that is about to enter Chang'an City. There are tens of thousands of troops and horses. It is not known how many people will join the King of Shu along the way. in the army.
"The emperor is fine, let's go to court!"
Li Shimin was so confused that he couldn't even walk. The establishment of the Li Tang Dynasty was based on King Qin's ability to conquer and fight. Such an embarrassing thing in front of the courtiers would only make people more suspicious of Changsun Wuji's revenge. Thief formula'.
The announcement stated that the current emperor was completely bewitched by the witch, and the royal family was in civil strife. The only one who could take on the important task was the King of Shu. As for the prince himself, he was still in prison, and he still didn’t know the reason for his imprisonment. .
Yuchi Gong was charged with "collaboration with the enemy and treason" and was deprived of his military power. Qin Qiong's family was killed. There was still Liu Shili in the court who could be appointed. The other generals who followed Li Shimin all acted noncommittal. After all, they were from the Xuanwu Sect. The tragedy happened again, but this time it was a battle between father and son.
"Liu Shili, I will appoint you as the General of the Eastern Expedition, and immediately lead troops to Qizhou to quell the chaos!"
This was a very pale statement. Li Shimin said it after being deceived by others. The name of the emperor was to recruit an army to deal with the King of Shu in Qizhou. On the surface, it was a war between the two emperors.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to shoulder this important responsibility!"
Liu Shili refused and was rushed into Chang'an City. Hearing the commotion in the court, he really didn't know what was going on. The most important thing is that both of them are famous.
Li Shimin used the banner of "killing the rebels" to order the army and horses. Li Ke of Qizhou used the excuse of "the devil is in power", which is similar to the Qing emperor's side, to win over all parties. The Tang Dynasty was only established a few years ago, and now the tragedy of father and son seizing power has been staged. .
In addition to the military generals who want to win over, there are also various local forces, especially the big families with money and food in their hands.
"Bold!!"
"General Liu, don't refuse!"
Wu Wuzhu was chased away by his cousin, and Wu Meiniang tried her best to win over Liu Shili to join her. She really couldn't find any other generals at the moment, and she also regretted killing the two generals Yu Chigong and Qin Qiong, which created a gap between the generals and the emperor. .
She made everyone retreat with a gesture, leaving Liu Shili and Li Shimin behind.
"This is a national event. You are just a maid who has just entered the palace. How can you discuss national events?"
Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were women who discussed politics, but they were all strange women like queens and queen mothers. The one in front of him was just a little girl. Liu Shili naturally believed it. The rumors seemed to be true. A confusing witch was harming the Tang Dynasty. He also Very cautious.
"Master Liu, the only people who can be trusted by His Majesty are you and me. I am just conveying His Majesty's wishes and taking care of you. You are different!"
"Yu Chigong and Qin Qiong were willing to assist Li Ke in his rebellion, so they were dealt with by our Wu family first, in order to preserve the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. If you still care about my origin, I can only say that your Majesty trusted the wrong person."
After speaking, Li Shimin nodded slowly, looking at Liu Shili with eyes that were also lifeless. Wu Meiniang had grasped the rightful emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He was not going to be murdered yet, but now he had to think about a key issue. , how to put down a rebellion, a rebellion she thought.
Liu Shili bowed and apologized, but this could not dispel his doubts. After all, this was someone close to the emperor who was assisting the prince in his rebellion, which was unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally.
After the announcement of the crusade against the witch was posted, Chang'an City was no longer as prosperous as before. As long as the eastern capital Luoyang was destroyed, it would really set the overall situation. Li Ke also rated the King of Pirates, proving that he was Li Shimin's son. , all forces are still waiting and watching.
"Miss Wu, I would like to have a private chat with His Majesty. Maybe..."
"No need, I'll let you do the work. I want to see Li Ke die, die..."
Li Shimin forced Liu Shili to attack the King of Shu. Now he could no longer refuse. The military commander barely had someone who could fight, but his position was very unclear.
Wu Meiniang didn't care what she was called at this time. What she had to do now was to stabilize the situation so that she could ascend the throne as the queen in the future. In her dream, she saw a phoenix standing on the dragon's head, presumably she could replace Li Tang.
"Miss Wu, I wonder what the prince is like?"
Liu Shili also had an extra thought. Among the princes born to the queen, Li Tai and Li Zhi were both taken to Qizhou to seek help from the King of Shu. If he wanted to win on the battlefield, he needed a prince to take charge.
"The prince was disobedient and is now in prison to think about his mistakes. I will give General Liu a letter of approval later!"
Wu Meiniang turned around and left, but she didn't say a word of truth. It was spread that the prince was imprisoned, but he was not in the prison, but was locked up in the cold palace by her, becoming a clown.
The always pampered prince was locked up in a cold palace and could only eat one meal a day. Li Chengqian was caught as soon as he stepped into the palace. Even though he was the eldest son of the emperor, no one was afraid because they were all strangers. .
"Bitch, let me out quickly, or I will make you go to the military camp to become a prostitute, and your family will become slaves, and you will never be able to turn over again!!"
But Wu Meiniang was unmoved and showed a very proud smile. This was a sincere ridicule. She had waited for a year for this opportunity to take revenge. Li Chengqian had defiled his friend, and his friend died a tragic end. But I didn't expect revenge to be so easy.
"I am the one who harmed you. Let me tell you, if you still want to live, then tell me honestly, who is the escaped servant? How can we find him?"
When Li Chengqian was arrested, Lin Changping, who was beside him, escaped successfully, but even after searching Chang'an City, no one was found. Wu Meiniang could not tolerate any mistakes, and she must 'see people alive; see corpses when dead'.
