Chapter 504: The Dragon Chair in the Taiji Temple(1/2)
No Turkic person was surprised that He Lu had anger and killed Lu, even though Lu was once a celebrity in front of He Lu.
Because no one has ever regarded Lu as a Turk, he just thinks that he has some talent and can use it when he understands that the Tang people can use it.
Now that he finds that he is useless, is he wasted food without killing him? You should know which country does not have much food, how can one have nothing to do with him?
He Lu felt better after killing Lu, and turned around, looked like a wise bead was holding it, and said to the top of Fuyu City: "Li Chengqian, you are so sinister. You actually use yourself as bait to destroy the 100,000 troops of my Khan."
He Lu smiled and continued, "But you are also smart enough to set up a trap in the city, and then opened the city gate to make Ben Khan fall into his hands.
How could Ben Khan not see your tricks?”
He Lu's voice reached Fuyu City. Cheng Wu tried to hold back his laughter and dared not speak, for fear that he would not be able to hold back his laughter.
Li Chengqian said seriously, "He Lu, don't be afraid. There are indeed no ambush in the Guwang City, only a few thousand wounded soldiers. You bring a hundred thousand troops in boldly and come up to the top of the city to talk to Guwang about your rebellion many times."
He Lu was so angry that he came to the scene and shouted loudly: "Bah! You are still the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. Your face is not red when you lie. Now you still say that there are no ambushers in the city, and there are no ambushers. Who killed the 1,500 Turkic warriors?"
Li Chengqian still smiled and said, "You are thinking too much, it's just a few wounded soldiers... The Lone King did not lie from beginning to end.
He Lu felt that Li Chengqian was insulting his IQ, spitted heavily at Fuyu City, turned his horse's head, waved his whip, and ran away directly with his five hundred personal guards.
The Turkic army not far away immediately fled when they saw He Lu retreating.
The 100,000 cavalry galloped, allowing the sound of horse hooves to be heard within several miles of Fuyu City. The dust was flying like beacon fire and wolf smoke, and black dust was shrouded in a radius. The scene was quite shocking.
Standing on the top of Fuyu City are all elite Tang Dynasty soldiers who came out of thousands of troops. They would not have been shocked by this kind of scene.
But now everyone is watching the Turkic Helu tribe withdraw their troops, and everyone on the top of the city, including Li Chengqian, has an unreal feeling.
Li Chengqian felt even more mixed feelings, and he himself didn't know what he felt at the moment.
Is it the excitement that the plan works?
Is it a blessing for surviving the disaster?
Did you save eight thousand wounded soldiers and comfort me?
...
Finally, they all turned into a loud shout: "All the generals obey the orders, you must cut off He Lu's head for the Lone King in the future."
Li Chengqian's non-compliant order sounded like a thunderclap, and the hearts of the generals on the city.
Boom...
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty led by Cheng Wuting all knelt on their knees, roaring with tears of humiliation in their eyes: "I will obey the order!"
Li Chengqian did not look back at them, and limped down the city with a crutch.
When he went down the steps, Liu Kui wanted to help him several times, but he blocked him.
Although Li Chengqian was holding a crutch and limping a little, he walked steadily no matter what path he was, and he would never be greedy for speed.
Because Li Chengqian's goal this time was not a temporary residence in Fuyu City, nor the Tang army camp beside Yalu Water, nor the Sanhaiyuan in Yanjing City.
But Chang'an City, Tai Chi Palace, and Tai Chi Hall.
He was going to walk into the Tai Chi Hall and sit on the dragon throne that represents the supreme power of the world in the Tai Chi Hall!
Half a day passed, and he had been suffering from life and death in his heart. This made Li Chengqian extremely eager for the supreme power of the Tang Dynasty. He no longer had a reputation of benevolence and filial piety, and he would no longer cooperate with Li Shimin to govern the Tang Dynasty.
He wants absolute power.
Only in this way can he protect the people he wants to protect, and he can do what he wants to do!
......
......
April 7th.
Chang'an City, outside Mingde Gate, there are crowds of people.
Everyone's face was filled with sadness.
This day is not an outing festival.
It's not a day of spring outing.
If you have to say what kind of day this is, you can only say that this period is a busy farming day.
Without government organizations, the people in Chang'an City and the surrounding people put down the crops in the fields and the work in the shops, and walked out of Mingde Gate, the main gate south of Chang'an City, with a sad mood, just to welcome a group of people, who were relatives of the East Palace.
In recent years, thanks to the Dragon Shouyuan, the people in the entire Chang'an City and its surrounding areas have been much better. The simple and heroic Chang'an people think that today's good days were given to them by Li Chengqian.
They heard that Li Chengqian's son was killed by the demonic path that deceived Li Shimin, and the Crown Princess died because of this.
Their Crown Prince Li Chengqian led his soldiers to fight bloody battles with Goguryeo in Liaodong, which made the people of Chang'an City want to kill people angry when they think of it.
But Li Chengqian was not in Chang'an City, and they didn't know who they should support if they wanted to rebel.
The people of the Tang Dynasty who were worried about losing their current good days were very confused for some time. Today they finally hoped that Li Chengqian's family would return, especially here, Li Chengqian's legitimate son Li Bai.
So the people in Chang'an City were intriguing and used their practical actions to show that they had lost their place.
However, the people did not wait for the Crown Princess' coffin, but they waited for bad news. Li Chengqian and the eight thousand disabled Tang army were surrounded by 100,000 cavalrymen from the Helu tribe of the Turks in Fuyu City, and Li Chengqian was in danger.
This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the people of Chang'an who were looking forward to Li Chengqian's return to Chang'an to clear the demonic atmosphere. For a moment, hundreds of thousands of people outside the city became quiet.
I don’t know who couldn’t help but cry bitterly first, and then I heard crying in the crowd. In less than a quarter of an hour, the crying outside Mingde Gate was already shook the sky.
Many Chang'an people who had not come out also came to hear the news and burst into tears at the city gate.
In this regard, the officials and generals who are still in Chang'an City are mixed with emotions. Faced with the surging public opinion, they really dare not look at them directly.
Li Shimin and Li Zhi and his son in Tai Chi Palace were in a complicated mood when they heard that Li Chengqian was in danger and was very likely to die.
These days, Chang'an City has been surging. It seems that it will win one after another, but Li Zhi, who is only one step away from the position of the prince, is becoming more and more frightened.
It was only then that he clearly realized that compared with Li Chengqian, he was not comparable to Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.
Li Shimin is not omnipotent. Even if he forcibly passes the throne to him, as long as Li Chengqian is still there, it will be possible anyway.
At this time, looking at Li Shimin with a dark face, Li Zhi did not dare to show up.
"Everyone in the world said that Chengqian was a 'wise king', but he was not as brave as me. If he encountered such a situation, he would be lifeless." Li Shimin's tone was calm, as if he was talking about the most ordinary little thing.
When Li Zhi heard that Li Shimin also ruled that Li Chengqian would die, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The next moment he saw Li Shimin stand up suddenly and roar with all his strength, "Can my son, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, be able to kill someone like He Lu?"
Li Zhiru was struck by lightning and looked up at Li Shimin in horror. He saw that Li Shimin's eyes were red at this moment, and his thin face looked like a beast that wanted to choose someone to eat.
"Transfer my order, the troops stationed in various governors' offices in the northern Tang Dynasty will march into the grassland from now on, and He Lu will not withdraw their troops until they are destroyed."
"Abide by the order!"
The eunuch in the hall knelt on the ground to receive the orders.
When Li Shimin watched the eunuch go out, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. His chest fluctuated violently, and finally he sat on the dragon throne in depressed manner.
Seeing all this, Li Zhi finally felt relieved. Now the three legitimate princes only took advantage of him, and there was no need to worry about Li Chengqian raising an army to attack Chang'an.
Thinking of this, Li Zhi couldn't help but look at Li Shimin and secretly thought: When will the father die? When will I sit on the dragon throne in the Tai Chi Hall?
Li Shimin sat for a while but shed tears again, holding the news he had just put down. It was a farewell poem written by Li Chengqian:
Be a hero in life, and be a hero in death.
......
Why do you need to bury your bones? Life is full of green mountains everywhere.
...
...
The delicate clouds are tricked, the flying stars are circulating, and the silver man is far away from each other. Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, it will be better than countless people in the world.
Tenderness is like water, good time is like a dream, I will be patient and look at the road back to the magpie bridge! If the love lasts for a long time, how can it be with you day and night?
Wang Liangdi looked at the lyrics written to her by Li Chengqian, and tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls with broken threads.
"Miss Liangdi, Queen of Liangdi..." When the six-year-old Li Bai saw Wang Liangdi crying, he didn't know what happened, so he was afraid and called her childishly.
Wang Liangdi lowered her head and saw Li Bai with a childish look on her face. She felt sad and picked up Li Bai and cried sadly. Li Bai was also scared to tears.
"Empress, Your Highness the Crown Prince is very dangerous at this time. Empress must cheer up!" Liu Shi's voice came from outside the car.
Compared with Li Shimin and the people of Chang'an City, Wang Liangdi's mourning team was the first to get news that Li Chengqian was in danger, and it was precisely because of this that the team stopped to discuss countermeasures.
A group of ministers who supported the Eastern Palace in Chang'an City were sent to Luoyang by Li Shimin to meet Wang Liangdi. Liu Shi disguised himself as Wang Liangdi and returned to Chang'an with Wang Liangdi in order to give Wang Liangdi ideas.
Li Chengqian was in danger, and Wang Liangdi, who was a lady from a noble family, was already in vain. Even the letter Li Chengqian wrote to her was directly handed over to Liu Shi and asked him to make an idea.
Hearing Liu Shi's voice, Wang Liangdi suppressed the grief and wiped away the tears, coaxed Li Bai, and said to the outsider: "If something happens to your uncle and the crown prince, I don't want to live anymore."
"Empress must not have such an idea. His Highness has issued an order in the letter to make the Empress the Crown Prince's Concubine. If something really happens to the Crown Prince, the two emperors will still need the Empress to take care of him."
After hearing this, Wang Liangdi looked at Li Bai in her arms, and she really showed a look of indulgence on her face. After a while, she said: "I have been deeply kind to the Crown Prince. Your Highness entrusts her to the orphan. Naturally, I will do my best to raise Li Bai adults, but the King of Yan was still locked in the clan's mansion..."
"What the Empress said is that the Third Emperor is young, so he must rescue His Highness Yan as soon as possible."
"Oh!" Wang Liangdi heard something strange from Liu Shi's words.
