Chapter 562 The two armies confront each other

When Li Chengqian came out of bathing and changing clothes, Du Zhenglun, Chu Suiliang, Xu Jingzong, Liu Shi and other civil officials had already entered the Tai Chi Hall and were arranging a group of eunuchs to set up thrones on the Danbao in front of the Tai Chi Hall.

The Tang Dynasty held a grand dynasty, and officials and nobles in Chang'an City had to participate. There were usually thousands of people, and they could not be laid indoors, so they were all outdoors.

The specific method is to set up a throne on the Danba in front of the Tai Chi Hall, and the emperor sat on the throne, and the ministers lined down from the steps, and lined up from top to bottom according to the size of the official position.

The official is standing on a high place, while the official is standing on the square of the Tai Chi Gate.

Seeing Li Chengqian coming out, Xu Jingzong hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Your Highness the Crown Prince should ring the Jingyang Bell and summon all officials to court."

Li Chengqian was silent after hearing this and shook his mind, "Wait for a while, there is no news from Xiang'er and General Su."

Today is July 12th, not the day when all officials go to court. If Li Chengqian wants to do something big, he must ring the Jingyang Bell to summon all officials.

After saying that, Li Chengqian walked leisurely on the corridor in front of Tai Chi Hall with a cane. Li Chengqian stood up and down the corridor and saw that there were soldiers wearing armor holding sharp edges standing around Tai Chi Hall, five steps, ten steps, and a whistle. Some people held torches all the way to the Tai Chi Gate.

Li Chengqian didn't know if these people were enough, after all, his opponent was Li Shimin... He looked at the empty square of His Highness Tai Chi at this time, and thought of the fierce conflict that was about to happen here today, Li Chengqian ignited another fighting spirit.

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Liu Rengui walked from behind.

Li Chengqian turned around and said calmly: "Liu Qing's family is peaceful."

Liu Rengui bowed again, stood up and said, "I have brought Changsun Wuji and his gang of traitors to him."

Li Chengqian knew that the time for the battle was up, so he looked solemn, raised his chest and looked up, looked at the deep blue sky in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Presist outside Chengtian Gate, today the Lone King will exchange their heads for a hundred years of stability in Guanzhong."

Liu Rengui felt that Li Chengqian's body instantly exuded endless power, so he hurriedly bowed and bowed and said, "Abide by the order."

After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Li Chengqian still looked at the white sky and the gradually fading big stars, and after a while, he said, "Wu Ting to ring the Jingyang Bell and summon all officials to the court."

"Abide by the order!" Cheng Wuting gave a solemn greeting, turned around and walked downwards.

Li Chengqian stood here for a while before walking back to the entrance of the hall.

At this time, the Danbu was almost arranged. When several ministers in the hall saw Li Chengqian walking in, they hurried to Li Chengqian. Just as they were about to speak, they heard bells coming from outside.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong..."

Knowing that Li Chengqian had ordered people to ring the Jingyang bell, a minister would enter the palace in at most half an hour, so he hurried out to prepare again.

...

...

The sky is just bright, and the melodious bells spread throughout Chang'an City.

The officials in Chang'an City didn't sleep all night last night, waiting for news of which side's victory at home, and then they could enter the palace to worship the winning side.

People in Chang'an City, especially officials, have felt gloomy in their hearts recently. Officials in the court have seen that Li Shimin and Li Chengqian can no longer coexist.

Many officials who have no interest in the thought of this and sighed in their hearts. They said in their hearts: Why bother to the death between father and son? It seems that this is the wrong place for his ancestors to the Li family, so unfilial descendants have emerged from generation to generation...

If you know Li Chengqian a little, you will feel that Li Shimin is a bit too much. He is old and seriously ill, but he wants to live forever. How good is it to learn from Emperor Gaozu to abdicate and give way to the wise!

The father dies and the son succeeds to the truth, and you cannot live forever.

Of course, some people think that Li Chengqian did not obey Li Shimin's edict, which was unfilial...

...

...

In short, the officials in Chang'an City all think.

However, no matter what I think, after Du He and others arrested Changsun Wuji's accomplices last night in Chang'an City, there is no one who dares to stand up and support any other party today.

The Tang Dynasty has only been established for 32 years. Many officials in Chang'an City have served as officials from other dynasties. Some of them came from the Sui Dynasty, and some families surrendered from the Southern Dynasty. They have seen more of this kind of change of dynasty.

Of course, there are also some smart people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to see if they can show off today so that the new winners can remember themselves.

When the Jingyang bell rang in the palace, all the officials knew that the winner was summoning the ministers. The officials living in Chang'an City put on their official uniforms, stepped on good horses, and went to Tai Chi Palace as usual.

But when these officials walked out of Fangqu, they saw many civilians walking towards the imperial city on the street. When they looked closely, they were dressed much cleaner and neatly than usual, and they knew that they were also going to participate in major events.

I couldn't help but feel a little confused. What are these ordinary people doing on such an important day today?

What can they do?

...

...

Once the sound of the Jingyang bell in Tai Chi Palace can be heard several miles away. Not only the officials and the people in Chang'an City heard it, but also Su Dingfang, who was stopped five miles away from Chang'an City, and he led the victorious army.

Su Dingfang led the army yesterday and was stopped by Zhang Shigui's army just after crossing Baqiao. Because it was too late at that time and it was about to rain heavily. For the safety of the army, Su Ding did not forcibly attack Zhang Shigui's army.

First, he ordered the army to find higher terrain nearby to camp and camp. Zhang Shigui knew that the army led by Su Dingfang was all the meritorious soldiers who destroyed Goguryeo, and did not order an attack on them. Both sides set up camp and camp, and they were all safe all night in the stormy night.

At dawn, the weather turned clear. Li Xiang and Su Dingfang were awakened by the sound of birds in the wilderness. They hurriedly ordered the army to get up, bury the pot and cook, and after breakfast, they were ready to leave for Chang'an.

Zhang Shigui, not far away, also woke up at this time.

Zhang Shigui, who was white in his hair and hair, sat half on the tiger skin couch, his joints were sore that he didn't want to move slightly. His face, which was covered in age spots, had no expression. He just stared at his hands covered with pussy, thinking about what happened to the court this year.

After a long time, he felt that the stiffness in his hands and the soreness in his joints had been relieved a lot. He sighed and called out to guard the guards outside to come in, serving him in dressing and armor.

...

...

When the bell of Jingyang reached outside the city, Su Dingfang had already put on his helmet and armor, stepped onto the war horse, holding an iron halberd, and behind him were tens of thousands of troops standing by.

Su Dingfang faced Zhang Shigui, who was also wearing a helmet, armor, and armour, and there were also 30,000 troops behind Zhang Shigui, who were majestic in arrays.

"Zhang Shigui, I have always respected you as an old senior. I don't want to ruin your reputation. Do you have to stop me from entering Chang'an City today?" Su Dingfang opened his eyes wide open, his bearded hair was opened, and he pointed the iron halberd in his hand and shouted angrily.

Seeing this, Zhang Shigui said calmly: "General Su, I am just following the order to act and stop you for only one day."

"Zhang Shigui!" Su Ding Fang Hu opened his eyes wide and shouted, and then said, "What if a family and these 50,000 soldiers had to go back to Chang'an City today?"

Zhang Shigui was still not surprised or angry after hearing this, and advised calmly: "General Su had the merits of destroying the country during his expedition to Goguryeo. Even if he returned to Chang'an City one day later, he would still have great achievements. Your Majesty still knows how to reward merits and reward me. When he was promoted, he would not lose his glory or wealth..."

"Ha ha……"

Su Dingfang was angry and laughed when he heard this. He lowered his head and shouted loudly: "Why is Su a real man standing in the world for glory and wealth?

His Highness and the Crown Prince went to the bitter and cold land with us, and there was no fault. He wanted to do the destruction and establishment just because of his Majesty's selfishness. Is this in line with the principles of heaven and man?"

Speaking of this, Su Dingfang raised his voice and asked, "Zhang Shigui, do you think this makes sense?"

Although Zhang Shigui and the soldiers behind him were loyal to Li Shimin, they had nothing to say when facing Su Dingfang's questioning. However, Zhang Shigui was also a person in his seventies and would not be convinced by Su Dingfang's words.

However, the soldiers behind Su Dingfang heard these words, but they felt that they followed Li Chengqian all the way to go to Goguryeo, and they had long regarded Li Chengqian as a god. At this time, they heard that His Majesty was going to be unfavorable to Li Chengqian, and they couldn't help but burst into anger and screamed and rushed forward.

"Zhang Shigui! Old man! If you don't say anything, you won't give in, Su will be polite."

After saying that, he roared, raised his iron halberd in his hand, and rushed towards Zhang Shigui.
