Crown Tang emperor

King Luling, who was already approaching the battlefield, suddenly heard the stern roar. He was shocked and almost fell off his horse. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "The saint is actually in the battle? This, this..."

The voice trembled slightly, half frightened, half excited.Panic is naturally the subconscious reaction of being caught and raped on the spot, while excitement is the excitement that the target is close at hand and the master is within easy reach.

At this time, most of the armies of the two sides have already dispersed, and the so-called battlefield is already extremely narrow. If there is enough light in daytime, the two brothers who have been separated for many years may already be able to look at each other. night.

Following the emperor's proclamation, the Beiya soldiers naturally became agitated. Since the founding of the dynasty, it is not unprecedented for different surnames to become kings, but those lucky ones either have extraordinary backgrounds or have made great achievements. With an opportunity, can the soldiers have no greed in their hearts?

Not to be outdone, the King of Luling pointed to the front and shouted, "I'm returning to the country today, and my ambition is to rejuvenate! The strong men at home and abroad who can kill hypocrites and eliminate evil spirits will be crowned kings, and three generations of heirs will not surrender!"

As the two sides issued special rewards, the fight in Luobei became extremely tragic, and each was brave enough to die for the honor of the king.

In the political affairs hall of the imperial city, Wei Juyuan, who was sleeping lightly in the dormitory, was suddenly awakened by the shouts outside the door. He hurriedly pushed the door out, and saw several middle officials standing outside in a hurry. : "Wei Xianggong, the big thing is not good! The Beiya mutiny, the saint has left the palace for robbery, and is about to go to Hebei..."

Hearing this, Wei Juyuan felt as if struck by lightning, and his body trembled suddenly. When the middle official handed over the emperor's order for him to stay in the god capital, he shook his hand as if he had touched burning coals. After a while, Wei Juyuan Then he let out a long sigh, and said with a stamp of his feet: "The Tang family has never abandoned the country to go to the wilderness! Chen Yi will not be ordered like this!"

While speaking, he strode forward even more, and tore the flung order into pieces, holding the pieces tightly in his hands, and then said in a concentrated voice: "Run to the Yang Palace quickly, and ask the empress dowager to send a letter and call His Royal Highness King Yong enters the capital Dingding! The safety of the Tang family and the safety of Jin Ou are all here! Go, go!"

After the envoys were sent away, Wei Juyuan was trembling all over, and sat down in the straight hall weeping. After a while, he waved his hands and ordered all the officials in the hall to quit. In front of Tianmen, facing the north, he bowed and sighed: "The country is full of misfortunes, and the ministers dare not do good alone. The ministers cannot support the emperor, and the subordinates cannot prosper the government. They steal their salary all their lives and return it to the Tang family!"

After saying this, Wei Juyuan flipped his wrist, and the sharp blade from his sleeve shook out, passing through his throat, the surrounding guards rushed up vigilantly and waited for rescue, but Wei Juyuan's neck was already bleeding profusely, and he died on the spot!

Chapter 0769 where I am, where the tripod is

After recruiting Li Sixun and others in Tongguan and playing the imperial court, Li Tong did not continue eastward immediately, but sent the former Tongguan defender Li Zhan to lead [-] forwards first, and he stayed in Tongguan for another two days.

In the past two days, another 3000 troops rushed up from the back of Xingtai, of which [-] were led by Lu Wang Li Shouli and entered Tongguan, and another [-] were led by Hei Chi Changzhi, who had entered Beijing before, and directly crossed the river to settle in Puzhou. town water city.In this way, the waterway of the big river is sandwiched between the two sides of the river and controlled by Xingtai.

At the same time, King Yong's new slogan spread throughout the army.This is undoubtedly a great encouragement to the troops in Taiwan.It's not that they hope the imperial court of Shendu and today's saints will return to Guanzhong, but after such a slogan is put forward, the western army's eastward advance will no longer be as simple as inviting a war to wash and humiliate, but will directly seize the power of the country!

So far, nearly half of the troops in Xingtai have been mobilized, and there are still nearly 2 troops left in Chang'an and other key states in the pass.Before the situation in Shendu was under control, Li Tong did not plan to continue drawing troops from Guanzhong.

It is indeed important to go to the capital of God to aspire for power, and a stable Guanzhong is the source of Li Tong's strength next.Although in the past few years, many nobles from Guanlong have been expelled to the capital of God, but it does not mean that their power in Guanzhong has disappeared.

After all, although Guannei is the ancestral property of the Tang family, it is also where these Guanlong sects have been deeply managed for hundreds of years and generations.The rotten boat still has three catties of nails. Once the Xingtai troops come out in full force, King Yong's actions in the capital of God will repeatedly break through their bottom line.

Among other things, Xingtai, as a domineering institution based in Guanzhong and thus developed, cannot completely prevent the infiltration of Guanlong aristocratic families and noble families in terms of personnel structure.It can't be called infiltration, it should be what they need and what they get, as long as these people can agree with Xingtai's basic values ​​and political ideas, there is no reason for Xingtai to shut out all related time streams across the board.

The so-called Guanlong Group is just a broad and conclusive academic concept, a group of people in the era with similar backgrounds and political resources.Even Li Tong himself can be regarded as a rising star of the Guanlong Group if he uses this point of view.

Although Xingtai's acceptance of Guanlong Shiliu is orderly and well-controlled, it is also based on strong force.Once the Xingtai people come out in full force, the environmental situation will naturally change.

The reason why Li Tong dared to send troops to the east at such a season, and even his third uncle Li Xian, who was far away in the south of the mountain, rushed back to the country, is that the current strength of the imperial court in Shendu has been overdrawn to a limit, at least the entire In the capital area, it has been difficult to gather forces to control the situation in a short period of time.

Governing the country and the people is different from falling in love. You don’t have to worry too much about whether you are sincere to me, but you need to be careful not to test people’s hearts and humanity, and don’t provide people with betrayal conditions, unless it is for fishing.However, Li Tong's current fishing ground is in Shendu and not in Guanzhong, so the stability of Guanzhong needs to be fully considered.

What's more, when he went to the capital of God this time, he took advantage of the trend and was not a big gambler, so he didn't have to put all his eggs in one basket and go out with all his might.

When Li Shouli arrived at Tongguan, Li Tongcai set off again. Before leaving, he arranged for Li Shouli to be the general guard of Tongguan, and ordered: "Second brother's job is only at this gate. Never act rashly!"

After Li Shouli heard the words, he hurriedly patted his chest to reassure him, but he said worriedly: "The situation in the capital is already extremely chaotic. The Western Army has won [-] troops, but San Lang only led [-] to return to the East, isn't it..."

Li Tong smiled when he heard this, and just wanted to say that Dong Taishi only led five thousand Xiliang troops into Luoyang, and he still did something... no, he did a good job, the smile on his face froze, He turned his head and took a sip, still feeling a little unlucky, turned on his horse while spitting, and then three thousand soldiers rode away from Tongguan and headed for Shanzhou in front.

So some frustrating things really can't be said or thought casually. During the trip, the latest information from Shendu came. After listening to it, Li Tong immediately felt a sense of heaven and man, and a sense of destiny.

"A few days ago, in the turbulent city of Nanya, Beiya mutinied the inner city and hijacked the saint from the palace... His Majesty the Empress Dowager summoned His Royal Highness Prince Yong to return to the country immediately and take control of the situation!"

In just a few short sentences, the news revealed was so shocking that Li Tong couldn't believe his ears. After understanding the process a little, he was so angry that he couldn't help but want to scold his mother: "The sage is the great responsibility of the family and the country." , how dare you be so reckless and careless!"

He reprimanded his fourth uncle so unceremoniously. He really didn't get cheap and acted like a good boy. Although he had exerted pressure frequently before, he still hoped to maintain the basic integrity of the order in the capital, and ordered those who were above the fifth rank to participate in the ceremony. , and asked the court to provide food and fodder, it is hoped to maintain the court situation and maintain a basic ability to operate things.

But now, his fourth uncle directly broke the pot, took the initiative to provoke and set himself on fire, causing the order in the capital to completely collapse, and Li Tong was caught off guard and had a headache.

The situation in Shendu collapsed so completely, apart from being very surprised, Li Tong couldn't help but reflect a little bit. He really took it for granted this time, subconsciously ignoring his fourth uncle's subjective initiative.

His impression of his fourth uncle, apart from being a little bit smart in recent years, is still a benevolent and cowardly image of giving up his position. Letting his wife, brother, and son, and finally passing the flowers by fucking drums, and passing them to his nephew It exploded!

With such a sudden change in the city of God, the original plan is naturally insufficient. If the collapse of the order in the city of God can be slowly rectified, then the most terrible thing is that his fourth uncle cannot really be robbed into Hebei, at least not in the name of Enter Hebei as the emperor!

"Thousands of soldiers in the Chinese army gathered horsepower, and one man took three rides, and drove into Shanzhou! It was reported that King Lu of Tongguan sealed off the city, and no one could enter or leave without my warrant and all personnel! Be prepared and ready for battle at any time!"

After quickly giving orders, Li Tong immediately led the army to Shanzhou when the horses of the Chinese army gathered.Originally, it was expected that there were still two days to go. From the early noon trip, the troops arrived in Shanzhou at nightfall.

After arriving in Shanzhou, Li Tong immediately summoned Li Zhan, who had already arrived here, to ask for the latest information on Duji.However, Li Zhan only arrived in Shanzhou this afternoon after traveling for two days, and his knowledge is still limited.

However, Shanzhou has already fled here from the capital of the gods, and these people were quickly recruited to the state capital. After interrogation, the information was complicated. He has a comprehensive understanding, but there is still no definite news about the current location of the emperor he cares about most.

The only thing that could be reassuring was that in this messy message, his third uncle Li Xian was not involved too much.However, whether his third uncle's sense of existence is strong or not, Li Tong didn't care at all. Luling's return to the country is destined to be just a farce of soul-calling by the conspirators in Guanlong who are unwilling to fail.

After pondering for a while, Li Tong still felt that a layer of protection should be added to deal with the worst situation that might happen.So taking advantage of the meal, he summoned Li Sixun and personally dictated: "The Tang family started a business, made a fortune in Taiyuan, made great achievements in Chang'an, and became a grand capital of the gods. Today's saints do not worship their ancestors and abandon their country. It is a great misfortune for the family and the country! Born as a descendant of the Tang family, if the ancestral temple and the tripod industry have no trust, I will take care of it on my own.

The elders of Xianggong's family should understand my painstaking efforts. Please write on the case immediately, and pass on the gods, and all the officials and nobles will eat and pay. On the day they see the call, they will immediately pay respects and worship the king!Those who walk against the Tao, the thieves of Juguo are rebellious, where I am, where the tripod is, the day of holding the talisman, and the time to hunt for thieves! "

"W-Would this be...Your Highness has been cautious in his actions so far, and his words and deeds have never been out of order. If he goes straight ahead and strives so hard, he may have mixed reputation..."

Li Sixun couldn't help hesitating when he heard the words, Li Tong waved his hands after hearing the words and said: "It's too late, if the saint is robbed into Hebei, the river will become the gate of the country, and the country will be divided! The old disaster of Sui Yang may come back to the world! The saint is also my kinsman, and to remove his honor is also to remove his sins! Immediately write and declare the capital of God!"

Hearing that King Yong was so resolute, Li Sixun didn't dare to persuade him any more, and hurriedly drafted a text at his desk.

After traveling hundreds of miles in half a day, Li Tong was also physically exhausted. He bent over his desk for a short rest, his mind was still spinning, thinking about all the variables that he would face next.

Time passed quietly, and after nearly an hour, Li Sixun finally drafted and submitted the call to action.Li Tong went through it, and then picked up a pen to highlight and change some of the slightly euphemistic words.

Since the speech is a call to arms, of course it is necessary to highlight the fighting nature. In addition to telling Yu Shendu Shimin emperor that he is unjust and unworthy of his position, the current imperial court ministers and other ruling team must also denounce it.Now that the gods are in chaos, there is no room for negotiation or compromise. Strong voices go first, followed by strong soldiers. Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish!

It took Li Sixun another half an hour to modify the call to action to barely meet King Yong's wishes.Afterwards, Li Tong didn't delay any longer, and summoned civil servants to copy dozens of copies of the proclamation, and convened [-] members of the armor to divide into several groups, each carrying the proclamation and galloping away to Shendu City overnight.

Not long after this group of people left, another small group of cavalry arrived in Shanzhou at night, and they were immediately led into the state capital after identifying themselves.Soon after these people entered the city, King Yong's military order was handed out again, and the people outside the city were divided into two parts, and one part controlled the gates of Shanzhou City.The other part, under the cover of night, bypassed the eastward post road in Shanzhou and went straight to the east along the small road.

Luoyang, the capital of the gods, has been the center of the world for a long time, with a permanent population of more than hundreds of thousands, and its prosperity and wealth are the most prosperous in the world. But when the order of such a prosperous city collapses and falls into a state of anarchy, what will happen? Also disastrous.

The chaos in the city is uncertain, and the life outside the city is also meager.The current season is late spring, although there are many new plants and trees in the fields, but the fields and sang are mostly abandoned, at least the output of the fields cannot support a large-scale personnel transfer.

The fields are not enough to make a living, and civil strife can still indulge in lust.There is no order in the city, and fierce chatter can satisfy one's hunger.Faced with such a situation, how many people can restrain themselves and serve the ceremony?On the first day, the Nanya was in a state of chaos, and the people in the workshop were frightened, making people inexplicably terrified and at a loss as to what to do.In the next few days, the turmoil in the city of Shendu just broke through the limits of what people can bear again and again. The people have no jobs to defend, and the thieves have nowhere to hide!

In the entire city of God, from north to south, there is no paradise.

In the innermost palace city of the Taichu Palace in the north, eunuchs and servants wandered aimlessly here, perhaps because the inherent majesty of the imperial power remained, and the gates of the palaces were closed, the rioters in the chaotic square city had not yet entered the palace. middle.However, these palace people who live by power suddenly lose their purpose in life after the master of the palace leaves, or they are still busy cleaning according to the old track, but most of them have empty eyes and blank expressions, like walking dead.

In the imperial city on the south side of Da Nei, there is a hundred bureaucrats, and the officials who are usually active in the office are nowhere to be seen, but occasionally the rebels who withdraw from the workshop come in and out between the bureaus to collect some utensils. , and even pried open the official warehouse, and moved all the valuable goods stored in it.The solemn and sacred center of the imperial court in the past is now like a village society, where city foxes and rats roam.

Shangyang Palace, located on the west side of Taichu Palace, is a bit busier than Da Nei.The gates of the palace were opened, and soldiers and people roamed about in disorder. Many people clamored to kill the demon queen and avenge their blood, and searched among the palace rooms. The scene became even more chaotic.

As for the Ganlu Hall where the Empress Dowager lived, it was fortunate that it was not lost for the time being. In addition to the [-] soldiers sent by King Yong to garrison here, when the emperor fled and the city was in chaos, there were also many officials who led servants to enter here to defend , to isolate the riots and personnel that spread into the palace.But if the turmoil continues like this, the situation will be worrying, and even the basic food supply will not be maintained, and the palace people have already started to salvage fish and crabs in the palace pond to satisfy their hunger.

The situation of the two major palaces was already like this, so one can imagine how bad the situation in the city is.Beishi, located on the north bank of Luoshui River, has been breached by thugs, and thousands of shops in the city have been looted.

Xintan in Lidefang, as a meeting point for the canal transportation in the city, has also been taken care of by the bandits, and even a few large-scale gangs have initially formed, not only ransacking warehouses around Xintan one by one, They even organized ships to continuously transport the looted proceeds out of Shendu for transfer and hiding.

The Luoshui waterway that passes through the city is full of sundries. In addition to many fragments of utensils, there are also many cattle, horses, livestock, and even human corpses drifting in the river.

On the wide sky street, there are traces of fighting everywhere, or dried blood stains, or ashes burned by the fire, and all kinds of broken cars are scattered on the street, and people are constantly searching along the street, hoping to be lucky enough to pick it up Some valuable leftovers.

But even if it is really picked up, it is hard to tell whether it is luck or misfortune.Around these scavengers, there are constant thugs patrolling on horseback. Once they find something, they immediately rob it without any discussion.

In today's Divine Capital City, it cannot be said that there is no order at all. No matter how chaotic the situation is, as long as it is maintained for a period of time, some laws will naturally form.And one of the easiest rules to form is that those who are fierce and brave are the best, and those who are lonely and lonely can only be mermaids.

In a very short period of time, several violent gangs also formed in Shendu City, and each of them delimited a sphere of influence.Among them, there are not only the original Imperial Guard soldiers, but also the wealthy families in the city, and some foot soldiers, each of which is large or small, and there is constant friction with each other.

Among them, there is a special group, that is, a group of strong soldiers who are entrenched in the former career of King Yong in Luxinfang.This group of people kept promoting the slogan "Longlin hides in the mansion, gathers virtue and energy", and called on the lonely and weak people in the city to seek refuge.

Although due to the turmoil in Hecheng, the influence of this group of people cannot cover the whole city, but the momentum in the southeast of Shendu City is also not weak. Many lonely and helpless people take shelter here, and the scale is also growing rapidly.

Even due to the concentration of forces in this area, the chaos in the southeast areas of Shendu City was much lighter than that in other areas.Even if some strong men passed through the square, after hearing these slogans, they did not dare to invade and invade, but some people tried to join.

But even with the existence of such a group of people, it still doesn't improve much the turmoil sweeping the city.Especially as several sensational rumors began to spread in the market, such as the current saint has fled Hebei, the saint has died in Beiman Mountain, etc., which undoubtedly added fuel to the already chaotic city of God. .

The turmoil in the public is no longer limited to civil disorder. Some people have raised various banners, and even propagated various prophecy songs such as the end of the Tang family's destiny.More and more people have been involved in great panic. Not only are their personal and property threatened, but even many deep-rooted concepts formed in the past have gradually collapsed.

Finally, a call to arms descended from the sky and were posted on the gates of the cities, saying that the sage abandoned his country and King Yong carried the tripod!The Tang Family Sheji is strong and reliable!

This proclamation exploded like a thunderbolt throughout the entire Shendu City, immediately making the situation in the Shendu City change even more violently.Those who hated the turmoil wept with joy and ran to tell each other. Many people fled to the west of the city, hoping to accept King Yong's protection as soon as possible.

However, some people who got along well in the turmoil were unavoidably terrified. Even without considering the restoration of order after King Yong returned to the capital and the severe punishment and punishment, just the people they gathered during the turmoil and the wealth they plundered , is enough to make them reject the re-establishment of order.

Therefore, some violent gangs began to actively chase and block the gates and roads to the west of Shendu. At the same time, the biggest change in this turmoil also occurred. Qi Lianyao, a Sihu in Luozhou who joined the army and claimed to be the emperor of Dayong, gathered thousands of people in an instant. , Appointed officials and assistants, Guangxi famous people were full of false posts, and sent troops directly to the imperial city to steal Duanmen.

However, when this group of people rushed to the Zetian Gate on the north side of the imperial city, they were greeted by soldiers of the Western Army who had already formed a clear formation and guarded the gate.King Yong, who claimed in the call to action that he was still on his way, suddenly appeared on the Zetianmen tower, his armor was bright, he stood with his sword in his arms, and stared coldly at the crowd of soldiers in front of Zetianmen, drew his sword out of its sheath, pointed forward, and immediately drummed Qiming, arrows falling like rain!

Volume [-] Wang Tianxia

Chapter 0770 The survival of the country, destiny returns

As the setting sun slanted, the killing in front of Tianmen was coming to an end. A large number of rebel soldiers were shot and killed in front of the palace gate and among the streets of the imperial city. The survivors either fled and hid, or abandoned their weapons and surrendered, but the killing continued.

In fact, as early as when the rebel army saw the figure of King Yong appearing at the Zetianmen tower, their morale was already shaken, and they were about to collapse.But then many strong soldiers rushed out from the palace gates on all sides, blocking their retreat, and many of their own troops turned against each other. Under the situation of losing ground, they had to fight fiercely in the imperial city, hoping to survive from death.

As armies from all walks of life converged in front of Zetian Gate, the last part of the rebels who were stubbornly resisting under the palace wall were also wiped out, and there was already a mass of bloody corpses in front of Zetian Gate.

"His Royal Highness King Yong returned to the country to put an end to the chaos, and the officials waited for the help to come late, please forgive me!"

The soldiers who cut off the retreat of the rebels did not belong to King Yong's army, and Li Tong returned to his country to lead only garrisoned Zetianmen, which numbered less than 2000 people.The sudden surge of these troops is naturally the force organized by the honorable courtiers of the city of God.

At this time, the rebellion was pacified, and the leaders of the team came forward to salute, and Li Tong found many people, such as Guan Guogong Yang Jiaben, and even the little slippery Zhang Shuo, who were also criticized at this time. The armor fits very well, and there are quite a few bloodstains on the armor. Just now on the top of the city, Li Tong also saw Zhang saying that he fought bravely, and even beheaded several rebels himself.

All the members kowtowed again in front of Zetian Gate, and Li Tongcai walked out of the palace gate surrounded by armored soldiers, looked around for a week at all the people who were helping to calm the chaos, and finally his eyes fell on the dozen or so people in the front, pressing his sword with one hand , sighed with emotion: "The hostility is soaring to the sky, the gang of thieves are disrupting the country, the great misfortune of the family and the country, the honest and upright see this, it will be heart-wrenching! If the crime is judged on the basis of urgency, neither I nor you are innocent. The heinous evil, It has not been clarified yet, the most urgent thing is to uphold justice, regardless of the details."

While speaking, he took a step forward, bent down to help Guan Guogong Yang Jiaben, and then continued: "The fate of the country is difficult, and the situation is difficult. Although strict punishments are required, there is no need to delve into the merits of the meritorious. The princes will help each other. It is a great achievement to keep Chenju from being stained by thieves. Kuang Xiwen declared that we should have met in the western suburbs, but the thieves were so hot that Xiao Wang had to sneak across in a hurry. I think you all have the same heart as me, not Deliberately neglecting the call of the call."

"The thieves messed up the capital, the sage abandoned the country, and the ministers were in a hurry without a plan. Fortunately, His Highness returned to the country in time, and the people at home and abroad have something to rely on. Under the authority of the decree, the evil spirits and the thieves will be wiped out! "

Hearing King Yong's words, Guan Guogong looked a little embarrassed, and quickly bowed his head and said in a respectful voice, and pointed to Shiliu's family and their respective healthy soldiers behind him and said: "Today, there are many guards in the two yamen in Jinnei who have died. So much so that the thieves dared to attack the imperial city. The ministers and other families hastily gathered relatives and disciples. Although there is no order to go out, there is indeed a deadly country. They must be strictly guarded here, respectfully inherit the king's teachings, and wait for the army of the king from all directions Arriving in the capital one after another."

Following the direction pointed by Duke Guan, Li Tong looked up and saw that although the disciples of the various families had different banners and numbers, they were gathered together at this time, and the scale was still considerable. In fact, it is much more than the troops he brought in his hasty eastward journey this time.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help feeling that these big clans were so damn tough, after several days of riots and baptisms, they were able to gather such a powerful crowd.

But this is also normal. The vitality and ability to survive and resist pressure of the aristocratic family far exceeds that of ordinary people.Not to mention that the turmoil in Shendu this time only lasted for a few days, the chaos in the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms lasted for hundreds of years, and the people were devastated, but these big families from the north and the south are getting stronger and stronger.

Putting aside these miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, Li Tong quickly showed a look of relief, and said again: "Don't say that there is no way out, loyalty is pointed out, and Taoism is the trend. Weijiayu Nei, the prosperity of the government lies in the fact that the loyal and powerful families of the Manchu Dynasty have a large number of talented people and are active in doing things. Gifts from famous nobles, gifts from salary materials, three generations of grace, today we can rely on this strength!"

Speaking of this, he paused again, pointed to the tragic scene on the battlefield in front of Zetianmen, and then said: "Today's contribution is for merit, and the merit is in the country. After the new rules and regulations, there must be a reward." Sheng to. Under justice, before entering the capital, I have heard of all the personal favors of people in Jinai. A few days ago, Huang Kao’s family temple and Guanyu were preserved from chaos, and they were not disturbed by bandits. I don’t know how many donations were present. Help me with strength and righteousness, and save me from the pain of loss and chaos?"

As soon as these words came out, several figures flashed out from the crowd, they walked forward and crossed their hands together and said: "Your Highness is responsible for the task of governing the country, working hard in Shaanxi, and occasionally loses his composure. The ministers are ashamed of their humble position and weak strength. Unable to extinguish the catastrophe, public and private sense of responsibility, not daring to hide from the world to live on their own, to contribute with all their strength, to protect the ancestors from being disturbed..."

Before the few people had finished speaking, Li Tong's face became serious, and he went forward to give these people a deep salute, and said in a deep voice: "The misfortune happens suddenly, and the fortune will inevitably be in trouble. If you lose your position, I hope you will give me your strength." , so that my filial piety and righteousness will not be lost, and my ethics will be kept! I thank you with courtesy, and there must be a generous reward for this deep affection!"

Seeing that King Yong was so dignified and courteous, several people quickly responded to each other, not daring to bear it, but the joy in their eyebrows and eyes could not be restrained.Now that the order of the gods has collapsed, it is already an obvious fact that after King Yong returns to the capital, he will definitely hold great power. They have performed first in the turmoil, and they will definitely be rewarded.

At this time, Guan Guogong and others who were standing aside saw King Yong talking intimately with these people, and their expressions were more or less uncomfortable.It's not just that King Yong's attitude towards them is closer, but also that King Yong has created a rift in the fragile alliance between them through this close attitude.

Li Tong kept everyone's expressions in his eyes, but only sneered in his heart.Qi Lianyao's rebellion happened suddenly and was extinguished quickly, but the meaning behind it was extremely profound.

Even without discussing the long-term cause and effect, just looking at the fact that Qi Lianyao's rebellious army just entered the imperial city, and then the surviving families in the territory came to block and calm the chaos, which shows that there must be a subtle connection.

Li Tong returned to the capital in a hurry, and he didn't have much armor, and the situation in Shendu was too complete, so he had to make use of the remaining personnel forces in Shendu, otherwise, in a short time, at least people from the back would arrive Before the capital of God, they have to fall into a certain passivity.

Qi Lianyao's rebellion, at a small level, was just the unrealistic and arrogant ambition of the mastermind involved, and at a high level, it was a blow to him by the current sects of the gods. Through connivance, this rebellion was even facilitated Happened, pointing out a possibility of the next development of the current situation, that is, the destiny may not belong to the Tang family alone!

In Li Tong's proclamation, he directly ordered the removal of his fourth uncle's honor based on the old calamity of Sui Yang's loss of the country. Even if a rebellion broke out in the city of Shendu, no matter how large or small it was, it would definitely be a danger The ultimate signal, those who understand have probably started to make the Wang Qi at home!

Such a situation is already difficult to resolve by force alone.That's why Li Tong was very angry at his fourth uncle playing so risky before. If there is still a little order in Shendu City, no matter whether it is his fourth uncle or his third uncle who will have a conversation next, it will be easy to solve.

But now, the topic of "the fate of the Tang family has been lost" is on the table, and the affiliation of the great position is no longer determined only within the clan. What needs to be solved may be the careerists who will emerge one after another in the future.

If Li Tong didn't return to the capital in time, allowing this rebellion to continue for even a quarter of an hour would be fatal to the life of the Tang family.If he returns to the capital quickly, he will face the situation in front of him, that is, his strength is not enough to deter the whole city.

But if this proclamation is not sent out, his fourth uncle will be robbed into Hebei, which will also put the country in danger of splitting.And if he intensifies the conscripting of armor in the pass, he will face the danger of being stolen. After all, their Li family took advantage of the emptiness in the pass to make a fortune.With such a role model in front, it is really necessary to engage in it no matter what.

It was originally a favorable situation that the general trend was trending, but it turned out to be like this. Li Tong's aggrieved heart can be imagined.But fortunately, he has not been in vain these years. Even though the court has repeatedly eliminated his influence in the capital of God, there are still some remnants.

During the turmoil in Shendu City in the past, someone had already made a bet and stood up for him.Another thing that is more fortunate is that he has many fathers, which makes it easy for people to place bets.

In the past few years, although Li Tong was not in Shendu, he still did not disappoint the goal of devotion.For example, the Temple of Filial Piety to the Emperor in Congshanfang, and the Hongdao Temple in Xiuwenfang. The former is a temple in memory of his stepfather Li Hong, and the latter is the former residence of his father Li Xian.

Although Li Tong was outside the city before, through inquiries about the time when Shendu fled to Shanzhou, and the report from Tian Shao'an of Luxinfang, he learned that a considerable number of people in Shendu City gathered around these places to communicate with Yong. The place where the king has a deep relationship, because of this question.

The result did not disappoint him. Among the first wave of people who followed the rebels and arrived in the imperial city, several people participated in protecting the memorial site of his two fathers.It's just that after seeing the identities of these people, Li Tong still felt somewhat indescribable.

Among them, Zhang Shuo, Yang Zhiyi, and Jiang Tian Guidao, who participated in the protection of the Congshanfang Temple of Filial Piety to the Emperor, and Nanya Zuowei Zhonglang.It's okay to talk about these three, although Zhang said that although he is young and his official position is not high, he has always been good at dancing, and his family is originally a local tyrant in Luoyang.Yang Zhiyi also has some old friendships, as for Tian Guidao, he is the younger brother of the official Tian Guinong.

However, the identities of the two people who participated in the protection of Hongdao Temple suddenly became strange. One of them was named Chen Mingzhen, and the other was actually Xu Junchen!To be honest, when Li Tong saw these two people going out, he couldn't help but be surprised. He really didn't expect that these two ghosts lived so long, and they even got mixed up in the speculators team.

No matter what happened in the past, since he used such an event as an entry point to communicate about God and people, now he can only greet him with a smile on his face.

When everyone gathered to talk, the soldiers brought into the imperial city by each family had already started to clean the battlefield.As the front of Zetianmen was cleared, Li Tong also began to arrange the next affairs to fix the chaos.

In the past period of time, there were more than one riots in Shendu City. The Beiya mutiny, the hijacking of the emperor, and Wei Chengqing's collusion with Wei Chengqing and others to privately welcome Luling King to abscond and return to the country are worthy of further investigation.But these few incidents are all behind the Qi Lianyao rebellion case that happened just now.

Regarding Qi Lianyao's rebellion, Li Tong's attitude is to kill them all!Therefore, when setting up tasks, it is also full of murderous intent. Once it is verified that the personnel related to Qi Lianyao and the fake jobs he has given him will be killed without mercy!

As soon as Li Tong finished speaking, Yang Jiaben, the oldest person present, said: "The country is seriously ill, so we need to be cautious. Besides, there is no order, the country has no righteous destiny, and the army of the kings of the four directions has not yet entered the capital. Extensive punishment, fear that the situation will become turbulent again!"
