Li Shimin

Zheng Fu and Ma Xi spoke again.

"Confused!"

Li Xuan couldn't help but glared at the two of them, "You two old bastards only know how to fight and kill all day long, have you never thought about your family?

Moreover, you have never heard that the steel knife hidden in the dark is the most lethal?

Those veterans Qian Gui and Wu Tie used to be the secret hands of my Li family village, but now they can't hold a knife and gun, so they can only stay at home and take care of their grandchildren all day long.

The future dark hands of the Li Family Manor will be guarded by you veterans who have retired from the Prince Jin's personal guards! "

A trace of excitement flashed in the eyes of Zheng Fu and Ma Xi, and they said quickly: "The general and others thank you for your trust, and we will definitely not disappoint you!"

"Okay, let's wait and make arrangements!"

Li Xuan waved his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zheng Fu and Ma Xi saluted again and prepared to go out.

Li Xuan suddenly remembered something, and said again: "Xue Rengui and Cheng Zhijie have already gone to Qingzhou to suppress Goguryeo's rebellion, so it must not be safe to leave Princess Xiangcheng and her son alone in Xuejiazhuang.

You will send someone to inform Xiangcheng later, for the safety of their mother and child, please temporarily live in Lijiazhuang these days! "

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zheng Fu and Ma Xi responded again, then hurried out and began to arrange various matters.

It was the first time for them to see that their king was so serious, and they couldn't help but feel a little heavy in their hearts.

Inside the main house.

After Li Xuan stared at the map for a while, he couldn't help sighing.

"Just with Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang's two villains cooperating internally and externally, those aristocratic families should not dare to openly rebel.

For a family like theirs, only when they have enough confidence can they dare to do such a big thing.

Well, alas...

Hope it's not artillery and bombs!

Otherwise, Datang, who had finally regained his vitality, would have to go through another rebellion! "

"My lord, will my Li family village be in danger during this rebellion?"

Suddenly, a worried voice sounded from behind Li Xuan.

Li Xuan turned around and saw that Cui Mi, Wu Yan and others were standing behind him, and everyone's eyes were full of worry.

"You don't have to worry, even if there are rebels coming to attack Li Family Village, with this king around, they can be wiped out!" Li Xuan said with a light smile.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to lie to me. I have been married to Li Family Manor for more than ten years, and I have never seen Your Majesty worry like this!" Cui Mi looked in disbelief.

Li Xuan smiled helplessly, "That's true. Now there are 600 retired personal guards in my Li Family Village, and 1000 personal guards. In addition, there are more than 1000 young and strong, wearing armor, holding knives and guns. Can kill enemies.

If we add the nearly [-] personal guards and young men in Xuejiazhuang, I have [-] elite troops!

Relying on the fact that this king has been running Lijiazhuang for so many years, there will be no more than 2 rebels, and they will never even think about taking a step into the village.

The king is just worried that those rebels who dare to openly rebel should be in control of bombs or even artillery.If so, people will die again in my Li Family Manor! "

"Your Majesty is merciful, but this matter is the sin of those rebels, and has nothing to do with your Majesty. Moreover, as your household and personal guards, they have their own plans to die for your Majesty!"

Wu Yan opened his mouth to persuade.

"call……"

Li Xuan let out a long cry, "Okay, you don't have to worry, I will try my best to ensure that no one will die in the Li Family Manor!"

"..."

……

Chapter 864

Since the outbreak of the rebellion, another ten days have passed.

Li Chengqian suddenly sent someone again to invite Li Xuan into the East Palace.

When Li Xuan came to Xiande Hall, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Hou Junji and others had already been waiting with serious expressions.

Seeing Li Xuan, Li Chengqian said with a serious face after seeing Li Xuan.

"Uncle Wang, I just received an urgent report that hand throwing bombs appeared in the hands of those rebels in Goguryeo!"

"Hand throwing bombs?"

Li Xuan couldn't help but look shocked, "How many hands were thrown by those rebels, but did they also reveal other bombs and firearms?"

Li Chengqian replied: "Uncle Wang, those rebels only used their hands to throw bombs during the war, but the number of bombs they threw with their hands did not seem to be many. As for other bombs and firearms, they did not appear. However, according to Xue Rengui According to the report, the hand-throwing bombs in those rebellious hands seem to be twice as powerful as mine!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good, the bombs thrown by those rebellious hands are probably the gunpowder prescription they got from somewhere, but they didn't configure it properly!"

Li Chengqian looked angry, "Uncle Wang, after receiving the urgent report last night, Chengqian sent people to interrogate the military supervisor and the military supervisor. There were two thieves in each of the military supervisor and the general supervisor. Suicide in fear of crime, but fortunately these four thieves are just mere ninth-rank officials, and they have no access to the complete gunpowder formula!"

"The tentacles of these aristocratic families really stretch far enough!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan sighed softly, and asked again: "I don't know how these days, the prince can find the children of officials whose families have disappeared in the city? Can all the officials in Chang'an city find out the thieves who colluded with those rebels?"

Li Chengqian looked angrily, "Reporting to Uncle Wang, the officials' children of those disappeared families were not found, but a dozen rebels who colluded with those families were found.

It's just a pity that these rebels committed suicide in fear of crime the moment the guards broke in, and some of the favored heirs in their families had already disappeared! "

Li Xuan's eyes turned cold, and he said coldly: "It's okay, as long as they dare to show their heads, they can directly exterminate the family! Whoever dares to rebel against my Tang Dynasty, no matter where the remnants of their family escape to in the world, my Tang Dynasty will find them!"

Li Chengqian, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others all nodded slightly.

In this matter, they have absolute self-confidence.

The Tang Dynasty at this moment is not only a prosperous age, but also the strongest empire!Even the Great Han Kingdom of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, or the Qin Kingdom of Qin Shihuang, cannot compare!

Li Xuan asked again: "The crown prince called me here, what else can I do?"

Li Chengqian said: "Uncle Wang, although more than a dozen rebel officials have been found in Chang'an City, Chengqian always feels that these people are some scapegoats thrown out by those aristocratic families, and some rebels are hiding in secret, waiting for the right time !"

Li Xuan's pupils shrank, and after pondering for a moment, he said directly: "If you want to rebel, you must have internal support in the army."

The expressions of Li Chengqian, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but change slightly.

Li Xuan looked directly at Hou Junji at the side, and asked slowly: "Chen Guogong has been in the army for the past few days, what is wrong with him?"

Hou Junji was taken aback for a moment, and then with a solemn face, he hurriedly bowed his hands to Li Xuan and Li Chengqian, "Return to His Royal Highness, King Jin, I am ashamed of you, I have been strictly guarding the outside of the city for the past few days, and even neglected to hide in the army." There is rebellion!"

However, Hou Junji was ecstatic in his heart, he could use this as an excuse to eradicate dissidents in Chang'an's inner defenders and insert himself into his confidants!

"It's okay, this matter is also my negligence!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, "It's really embarrassing for you to guard Chang'an alone."

As he said that, Li Xuan turned his head and cupped his hands slightly towards Li Chengqian, "Prince, only Chen Guogong is the guard in Chang'an City, which made Chen Guogong weak, and I didn't think carefully.

Now, the Li family in Longxi has not rebelled. I suggest that the crown prince invite Duke Wei to come out of the mountain to eliminate the rebellion of the guards in Chang'an City and guard Chang'an City.

In addition, the prince needs to meet the generals above the twelve guards in Chang'an City, explain to them the current situation of our Tang Dynasty, and explain the prince's doubts.

Let them report to the higher authorities as soon as they find something wrong, so as not to mislead the country, but also avoid misleading them! "

Hou Junji's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help breathing more quickly.

However, Li Chengqian was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang, for your teaching!"

He has followed Li Xuan for so many years, and he is most familiar with Li Xuan's routines, and he also likes Li Xuan's routines very much.

As a king, he should be upright and majestic, facing all his subordinates and Xiao Xiao directly.

"What else is there for the prince?" Li Xuan asked.

"Go back to Uncle Wang, Chengqian has nothing else to do!" Li Chengqian said.

"That's it, I will go back to the manor first!"

"Accept Qian and send off Uncle Wang!"

……

After sending Li Xuan out of Xiande Hall, Li Chengqian discussed again with Hou Junji, Fang Xuanling and others for a while.

afternoon.

Li Jing, the Duke of Wei, was invited out by Li Chengqian, and at the same time followed Li Chengqian to the twelve guards in Chang'an City.

Seeing Li Chengqian and Li Jing, the generals, captains, school captains, and deputy captains of the twelve guards of Chang'an City were all excited.

After so many years, most of the deputy lieutenants, school lieutenants, captains, and side generals in the Twelve Guards came out of the lecture hall, and most of them respectfully call Li Jing a teacher.

As for Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, these dignitaries and military commanders who have studied in the martial arts hall also respect him very much.

With military merits, he is still the disciple of the current King Jin, and the most important thing is that he can govern the world, with a calm temperament and no dandyism!

The lieutenant generals and academies of the Twelve Guards who came out of the martial arts hall are also the confidence that Li Shimin dared to indulge so much rebellion, and directly led a group of generals from the Tang Dynasty to fight with the army!

When all the school lieutenants, captains, and partial generals gathered, Li Chengqian didn't procrastinate, and directly began to explain his intentions.

"Everyone, the rebels from the aristocratic families who were ruled by my Tang Dynasty dared to take advantage of the father and a group of old generals to conquer the Dashi Thief Kingdom, wanting to avenge their favor and rebel against my Tang Dynasty.

This kind of ungrateful person is not worthy of being a citizen of our Datang, let alone being the lord of our Datang feudal kingdom and our nobles of the Tang Dynasty. Our Datang will definitely wipe out his family with the force of thunder!

However, although these rebels don't know the sky, they don't know the strength of my Tang Dynasty, and they want to hit the stone with an egg.

However, yesterday, Gu received a report from Xue Rengui, the deputy director of Qingzhou, that there were hand-throwing bombs in the hands of these rebels.

And last night, two small officials in the general prison and military weapons supervision also committed suicide in fear of crime.

In addition, in the past few days, the children of those rebellious families who were officials in the Tang Dynasty were not found, and more than a dozen officials were found in Chang'an City to be in collusion with those rebels.

Therefore, I have to wonder, not only those officials colluded with those aristocratic families to rebel, but also among the twelve guards who guarded our Tang Dynasty, some people lost their minds and secretly colluded with those rebellious aristocratic families? "

Hearing this, the expressions of the school lieutenants and partial generals of the twelve guards all changed. The monarch they were loyal to doubted their loyalty. For these generals, it was more uncomfortable than killing them!

However, Li Chengqian seemed to know what these generals were going to say, so he directly raised his hand and continued: "Everyone, don't be impatient, I don't doubt your loyalty, otherwise I wouldn't have come to say these words to you personally .

Regardless of your origins, you are all generals of the Twelve Guards of the Great Tang Dynasty, and students of the Emperor Father, who are the pillars of my Great Tang Dynasty.

Not to mention how powerful my Tang Dynasty is now, and how comfortable the lives of the people in the Tang Dynasty are, I will never believe that someone will betray the Tang Dynasty.

However, when people are alive, they will inevitably be subject to various constraints and encounter various involuntary things.

Although you are loyal, if someone threatens you with your parents and family members, or threatens you with other things, I can't guarantee whether any of you will abandon your relatives and choose Datang!

However, all of you are elite teachers guarding Chang'an and guarding Datang, only one of you is threatened to do something unwise.

Among you, even in Chang'an City, tens of thousands of people will inevitably be killed. This matter is too serious, and I dare not bet on it!

The rebellious forces of those families were weak, but Gu did not dare to underestimate the insidious methods of those families.

Therefore, please understand the helplessness of Gu! "

As he spoke, Li Chengqian bowed his hands slightly to the generals of the twelve guards with a solemn face.

"The safety of Chang'an City and the safety of the Tang Dynasty are entrusted to you. Please also pay more attention to some colleagues around you when you fulfill your duties. If there is anything wrong, please inform Gu or Duke Wei as soon as possible. , Chen Guogong!"

Hearing this, even though the twelve generals still had some disbelief that their colleagues around them would rebel and collude with those aristocratic families.

However, he understood Li Chengqian very well.

"His Royal Highness, please rest assured that the last general and others will never betray Datang, and swear to the death that those family rebels will not step into Chang'an City!"

Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction, "It's up to you all alone!"

Li Chengqian was very satisfied with the trip of the Twelve Guards. Seeing Li Chengqian's performance, veteran officials like Li Jing also nodded secretly.

Only such a prince can be the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

Similarly, when facing Li Chengqian, Li Jing and others, the Twelve Guards Generals had an expression on their faces that they would never believe that any of their colleagues betrayed Datang.

However, being a general of the Twelve Guards requires more than just having force, and no one is a fool.

In their hearts, they were thinking more seriously than what Li Chengqian said.

Everyone has selfishness, not to mention that among the twelve guards, there are still some people who have secret relationships with those rebellious families.

Therefore, returning to their respective barracks, a group of generals and school lieutenants directly summoned their respective chiefs and corps chiefs, as well as their respective confidantes, to arrange a series of secret orders.
