Chapter 545 Wei Renqing's crime

"Abide by the order!"

After receiving Wei Renqing's hint, Wei Erzhi was proud and walked towards the opposite side with a knife. He even thought about whether to kill any one to establish his authority.

But as soon as he left halfway, he heard a sound coming from the hot air balloon again.

"Gao Luxun, Wei Renqing rebelled and falsely passed the imperial edict to stop the triumphant army from returning to the capital. He was extremely guilty. Those who captured and killed two thieves were rewarded with 100 taels of gold and promoted to three levels of official position."

The two words just now were just heard by Zhao Shen and ordinary soldiers, and they no longer felt that Li Chengqian was narrow-minded and as straight as the sound of the sky.

However, Wei Renqing no longer cared about it now. His personal guards had returned to him. He wanted to defend Tongguan City with his original plan.

Wei Er was even less concerned. A family slave like him was only loyal to the Wei family and never had any awe of the Li Tang royal family. When he heard that Li Chengqian wanted to kill Wei Renqing, he just sneered and continued to move forward.

He wanted to kill people to establish his authority so that these soldiers would not dare to rebel.

...

Seeing Wei Er coming in a fierce manner, Zhao Shen pulled out his waist knife, shouted with red eyes: "Kill——! Kill Wei Renqing, and find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to receive the reward..."

The soldiers behind him also shouted with red eyes, raised their waist knife and rushed towards Wei Renqing.

Wei Renqing's personal guards could only fight with them when they saw this.

...

Liu Rengui exploded the gate of Tongguan. He did not encounter decent resistance all the way into the city. He drove straight into Tongguan City for two miles before meeting the defenders who were eating lunch in the city.

Because Liu Rengui and others had unknown origins (not wearing Tang army uniforms), the soldiers in Tongguan City resisted fiercely. Fortunately, the Flying Eagle Army launched a bombing in time, and most of the troops in the city went to the city to support him, and the number of soldiers who resisted Liu Rengui was not superior.

However, it is also difficult for Liu Rengui to quickly hit the west gate to the east gate and open the door for Li Chengqian.

It was at this moment that Li Chengqian's order was passed down from heaven.

Although it was a bit far away, everyone below heard it.

The soldiers guarding the city originally received the order: Li Shimin did not allow Li Chengqian to pass.

Although he was puzzled by this, the chief general Wei Renqing had obeyed the order, and Gao Luxing was the prime minister from Chang'an, so the generals recognized him.

But now, Li Chengqian's order was passed down by the world, saying that Gao would perform the false imperial edict and rebel with Wei Renqing, and the soldiers immediately hesitated.

Who can risk beheading and rebel with an insincere general?

Seeing this, Liu Rengui immediately shouted to the defenders: "I am Liu Rengui, the governor of Lingzhou who went to Chang'an to transport gold under the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He came to attack the city because this batch of gold was robbed by Wei Renqing halfway."

After Liu Rengui shouted, he ordered Wang Qun to bring his subordinates and shouted that this would soon spread throughout the battlefield in Xicheng.

This is a charge that Li Chengqian had prepared for Wei Renqing for a long time. Wei Renqing had no charges and Liu Rengui was a serious crime to break through Tongguan.

It is said that Wei Renqing stole the gold from Li Chengqian to compensate Huichang Jinzhan, and all those who saved the gold on Huichang Jinzhan would hate Wei Renqing and Gao Quan.

As for the reason why Wei Renqing robbed gold, of course, it was for rebellion. The soldiers of Tongguan City would make up for him.

Sure enough, the soldiers of Tongguan City became suspicious of Wei Renqing's intentions after hearing Liu Rengui's words.

Wei Renqing robbed the gold transported from Lingzhou?

What did he want to do when he stopped the crown prince's army?

As more and more soldiers defending the city became suspicious of Wei Renqing, the level of the battle was not as fierce as before.

Finally, the Tongguan Governor Shi Datian looked at Liu Rengui and asked, "Since it is said that the Grand Supervisor of Lingzhou is the Grand Supervisor of the Capital?"

"Hahaha..." Liu Rengui laughed loudly after hearing this.

...

...

In the east of Tongguan City, Li Chengqian stood tall in the carriage looking for the ceremonial guards, including civil and military ministers, wearing grand robes, and riding tall horses surrounded him.

Looking from the gate of Tongguan City to the west, there are colorful flags of ceremonial guards, bright armor, and majestic generals reflecting the sun in the west. The most conspicuous among them is Li Chengqian, wearing a luxurious purple robe, standing alone in the carriage, just like a god descending to earth.

Zhao Shen, the deputy general of Tongguan who went out of the city to surrender, only glanced at it and said in his heart: How could such a fairy figure be able to compete with Wei Renqing?

At that moment, he closed his mind and lowered his head to move forward, not daring to look at it again, for fear of blaspheming the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengqian looked at the three people coming out of Tongguan. They all took off their armor, put down their weapons, and walked slowly towards him with their upper body naked, lowered their heads.

The two soldiers in parallel each held a box, and it seemed that the box was the heads of Gao Luxing and Wei Renqing.

Seeing that things were all moving towards their own design, Li Chengqian's heart had half of the big stones.

The remaining half is under Chang'an City.

As long as he entered Chang'an City, Li Shimin would have no room for anything except abdicate.

...

"Sinner Zhao Shen, come to the crown prince." Zhao Shen walked to Li Chengqian's carriage and knelt on the sun-burning bluestone floor.

"But Zhao Shen, deputy general of Tongguan?" Li Chengqian looked at Zhou Gan and asked expressionlessly.

"When you go back to the crown prince, you are the criminal minister." Zhao Shen did not look up.

Li Chengqian knew that when Zhao Shen walked out of Tongguan City, there was no other way to go except to rely on himself.

Li Chengqian could only appease him and use him. After all, he killed his immediate superior and surrendered to him.

However, we still have to criticize such a person, so as not to regard himself as a hero after Li Chengqian ascended the throne, and his desires would be unsatisfactory.

"Have Gao Luxing and Wei Renqing brought the heads?" Li Chengqian's tone was so stern, and murderous intent appeared.

Zhao Shen was so scared that he didn't dare to breathe and said, "I brought it, I brought it."

Zhao Shen said, the second servant holding the box behind him hurriedly put the box in his hand on the ground in front of him.

The two eunuchs walked forward, opened the box first, then picked it up, walked towards Li Chengqian's car, raised the heads inside, and watched it for Li Chengqian to see.

When Li Chengqian saw the bloody heads, one of which was Gao Luxing, and he knew him. The other one didn't know him, so he asked everyone: "Who knows Wei Renqing, see if this is Wei Renqing's head."

As he said that, Wang Fangyi and Du He walked out by horses, glanced at the head in the box, turned around and bowed to Li Chengqian, saying, "Go back to the crown prince, it is Wei Renqing's head."

Li Chengqian nodded after hearing this, then looked at Zhao Shen and said, "You did not deceive the Lone King."

Zhao Shen was so scared that he saw sweat on his forehead that he didn't dare to say anything. Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian didn't believe him so much.

After a while, Li Chengqian said lightly: "Zhao Qing's family is peaceful."

Zhao Shen didn't hear clearly for a moment, and still knelt on the ground, not daring to move slightly. The eunuch walked up to him and said to him: "General Zhou, Your Highness the Crown Prince has ordered you to calm down."

"ah!"

Before Zhao Shen could react, he was helped up by the eunuch.

As soon as he stood still, he hurriedly bowed and said, "The guilty minister thanked His Highness the Crown Prince."

When Li Chengqian saw this, he finally smiled and laughed: "Zhao Qing's family killed Gao Luxing and Wei Renqing to make trouble. King Yu Gu and the Tang Dynasty were both meritorious people, so why did they still call themselves criminals?"

Seeing that Li Chengqian changed his face so quickly, Zhao Shen didn't dare to wait slowly, so he lowered his head and said, "I don't dare."

When Li Chengqian saw this, he stopped making things difficult for him and directly ordered: "Previously, the Lone King ordered that only those who killed these two thieves would be promoted to the third level and be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. Since you have killed Wei Renqing, you will be promoted to the position of the General of Tongguan and continue to guard Tongguan."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Long."

Seeing that Li Chengqian not only promoted him to the office, Zhao Shen ordered him to continue to station in Tongguan and become a general with military power. This was really a huge trust, and even his tone of speaking was different.

"Okay! Go back quickly and transfer all the soldiers from Tongguan City. The Lone King wants to review the soldiers from Tongguan City in front of Tongguan City."

Although Zhao Shen killed Wei Renqing and Gao Luxing and led the soldiers of Tongguan to surrender to him, Li Chengqian was still worried about the soldiers in Tongguan City. If Wei Renqing's confidant did not die and suddenly attacked Li Chengqian after entering the city, it would be troublesome.

In the name of proofreading, the soldiers from Tongguan City were transferred out and they would talk about it when he passed Tongguan City.

"I obey the order." Zhao Shen did not doubt that he had, so he immediately took the order, turned around and walked towards Tongguan City.
