At the beginning, he will be divided by five horses of Tang Taizong

The faces of these people from the aristocratic and noble families changed drastically, their eyes widened, and their usual demeanor of an adjutant was gone.

Even Cui Yi, who was always calm in the past, turned pale and lost his composure. Shuangshan tremblingly looked at Li Ji who was reciting the news.

"Qin Shou, how is this possible, how is it possible"

Cui Yi finally muttered to himself, he couldn't tell clearly what happened next, if he got close, his pupils would be dilated.

His mind was also buzzing right now, as if he had been stunned by this "sky thunder".

5000 people murdered 5 people from the Guanlong lineage, something must have gone wrong!

Why they are involved with the Western Turks, a large factor is to identify the involvement of various ethnic groups in Guanlong, and they are willing to take the risk to participate.

It can be said that the Western Turks and the remnants of Guanlong are their "guarantees". With these two conflicts that can't wait to be resolved in front of them, Qin Shou will not take action against them.

In just one day, first the Western Turks, and then the remnants of Guanlong, were all wiped out.

How can this not make them feel depressed, how can it not make them terrified.

At this moment, a voice rang in his ear, "Master Cui, according to this situation, I am afraid that the war in the north will end soon, and your household department will no longer have to worry about raising money and food."

The Ministry of Household Affairs had previously reported that the treasury had insufficient money and food to meet the army's food and grass for half a month, and it was Cui Yi who wrote the memorandum.

"Uh, yes," Cui Yi said in a daze, the three words paused three times, obviously his mood was still in a turmoil and he had not calmed down.

Li Ji continued: "Lord Cui, Qin Shou will go back to Chang'an tomorrow and come with me, how about going to greet him?"

"" Cui Yi opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but his throat was blocked and he didn't speak out, his face was extremely stiff.

for a while

Cui Yi turned his sluggish eyes, and said to Li Ji: "General Li, I'm not feeling well today, so I'll go back first."

Cui Yi stood up tremblingly and bid farewell

Li Ji said in a calm tone: "Master Cui, the military newspaper said that the bags of grain eaten by the Western Turks came from our Central Plains. What do you think?"

Cui Yi's walking steps suddenly stopped and sluggish for a while.

But when he turned around, his face was already calm, and he looked at Li Ji, "How do I know that, presumably they robbed us of Datang's food?"

"It is normal for our family to allocate a lot of food to the disaster-stricken area, and some of it ended up in the hands of the Western Turks."

Li Ji remained silent, with a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, watching Cui Yi walk out of the gate.

But when Cui Yi walked out of the gate and went down the steps, his feet softened and he knocked on the steps, blood oozed from his knees, but he didn't stop at all, he got up and continued to walk outside.

Outside the door, the groom saw Cui Yi coming out and quickly helped him into the carriage.

"Quick, go to the Wang's Mansion in Taiyuan."

The news of the destruction of the remnants of various ethnic groups in Guanlong once again caused a sensation in Chang'an City.

On the west side of Chang'an City, in the previously hidden courtyard, a group of people ushered in again.

"Everyone should know, right?"

The people are still the same as before, but the atmosphere this time is completely different from the atmosphere a few days ago.

Wang Jingzhi: "Have all the people who should be dealt with have been dealt with?"

"It's been dealt with!"

"Processed"

The members of the family nodded one by one.

"Now people from the Guanlong lineage and the Western Turks can no longer be relied on, we can only rely on ourselves."

Those people from aristocratic families were all gloomy at this moment, with a serious look in their eyes.

"Next, what should we do?"

The remnants of the Western Turkic and Guanlong ethnic groups were all wiped out, and their aristocratic families were next.

As they said before, the history books are written by the victors, and they have no choice if they want to continue to be brilliant and maintain the home of Zhongming Dingshi.

Cui Yi said calmly: "Remove all our forces in Chang'an and make all preparations. He Qin Shou can control the troops in Chang'an, but he can't control the troops in the local area. We have all the money and food in our hands. Let's see what he can do?"

Wang Jingzhi's tone was also extremely serious: "My Taiyuan Wang family, except for women, children and the elderly, will not withdraw from Chang'an. I want to see if Qin Shou dares to make a move!"

It was they who colluded with the Western Turkic people, and secretly supported the refugees, gave them food and weapons, and made them gather into bandits. Now they are still talking wildly and rebelliously.

In the final analysis, they have enjoyed the sense of superiority for too long. They have been aloof for thousands of years, and even the royal family depends on their faces. How can their hearts be balanced?

Wang Jingzhi squinted his eyes, glanced at everyone, and said: "In this world, [-]% of the officials come from our family. As long as our family is twisted together, we can press the heads of the Qin Shou and Li Tang royal families."

In his opinion, the last time the Wang family in Taiyuan suffered a loss, it happened too suddenly, and because the major families did not reach an agreement, it was a fluke.

The members of several big families all nodded, they all understood that now has come to a critical moment, and only through concerted efforts can the prosperity of the family be maintained.

Everyone discussed for a while, and finally took a look at everyone, and said in a low voice: "Actually, there is one more thing, I think it is necessary to tell you."

Cui Yi and other members of the major families all looked at him with burning eyes, not understanding why he was so mysterious.

Afterwards, they heard Wang Jingzhi say indifferently: "Today, Li Zhi went to see Queen Wang, and he had some words with Queen Wang."

"What?"

The eyes of all the families looked at Wang Jingzhi in amazement. Hasn't the so-called Queen Wang been abolished?Are you in limbo?

Wang Jing squinted his eyes, "Although Li Zhi didn't find out how he got the disease, all the clues point to Wu Mei, and Wu Mei had an affair with Qin Shou, and the news from the Imperial Medical Office, Wu Mei Mei has been pregnant for more than five months, but Li Zhi has never met Wu Mei."

what?

The faces of all the people present changed drastically, the boss who opened his eyes suddenly, did such a thing happen?

More than five months?

Five months ago, Qin Shou at that time hadn't left Chang'an and was shocked!

Wu Meihuai's child turned out to be a beast, it's so big!

"Good guy!"

"So, Li Zhi"

Everyone's eyes flashed wildly, looking at each other.

Chapter 376

On the second day, with the news brewing

The whole of Chang'an was festively decorated with lights and festoons. Outside the city gate, there were horse-drawn carriages surrounded by meritorious officials and court officials. The formation of horse-drawn carriages alone was dazzling.

Farther away, the common people are eagerly watching, and they can't see the end at a glance.

"Hey, when Qin Shou returned to Beijing, there were so many people here?"

"Isn't it? If it weren't for Qin Shou, how could the war in the north be won so quickly?"

"In the past, we have never seen such a formation in victorious battles!"

"In the past? In the past, we in the Tang Dynasty fought such a happy battle? And the remnants of Guanlong, they blocked the news and let the aliens slaughter our people in the Tang Dynasty, they should be killed!"

Without the court's definition, the common people have already described the remnants of Guanlong's lineage as remnants.

Ever since Qin Shou took control of Chang'an, the first thing he did was to stabilize things, which significantly improved the lives of the people. The people's concept is very simple, and they know who is the person who does practical things.

And less than ten miles away, groups of cavalry were marching towards Chang'an.

It was Qin Shou, Chen Jing and others. After the battle, they rested for a day, and then returned to the imperial court. When they came, they wished to exhaust the horses under their crotches, but now they came back much slower.

When everyone saw Chang'an City, they couldn't help being stunned.

That is?

Outside Chang'an City, sharp-eyed people saw people and horses in the distance, and couldn't help shouting: "Here we are, we are back!"

Whoa!

The originally lazy city outside Chang'an suddenly became lively.

Qin Shou froze for a moment when he saw this scene, while Chen Jing and other soldiers shouted excitedly: "Welcome us, welcome us!"

The joy of the ancients for making contributions and returning from a great victory is deep in their bones.

Qin Shou stabilized his mind, and said calmly: "Why panic, the more this is the time, the more we have to show our dignity."

"Arranging the army!"

"Go hand in hand!"

boom!

The cavalry formed a phalanx and moved forward neatly. Of course, these were not formed all at once, but after Qin Shou took over Chang'an's defense, they had to practice every day.

Chen Jing's face twitched. He had never understood why Qin Shou made the cavalry practice their formation crazily. He only knew the power of Qi when he went to the battlefield to charge.

Rumble

The earth trembled, the horses galloped, and there was a rumbling sound.

The nobles and officials of the imperial court watched the uniform horses galloping towards them, and their complexions changed suddenly.

Li Ji, "The son-in-law has returned from a great victory, and His Majesty is in poor health, so I will come to greet you!"

"Thank you, General Li!" Qin Shou rode his horse up to Li Ji, dismounted and saluted Li Ji.

Li Ji shook his head, and said in admiration: "I never imagined that the Twelve Guards would have such awe in such a short period of time!"

He knew the situation of the Twelve Guards, and he knew even more about the previous combat strength, which was really surprising.

Qin Shou and Li Ji exchanged a few polite words, then walked towards the city.

When leaving, Qin Shou glanced at the officials and frowned.

Li Ji caught a glimpse of Qin Shou's expression and said in a low voice, "Are you looking for someone from a noble family? They're not coming back."

Qin Shou narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Ji.

But Li Ji nodded helplessly, "As you said, it has something to do with them."

Qin Shou smiled, but said nothing.

Li Ji still couldn't help asking, "What are you going to do?"

"They are not like the Guanlong lineage. Their personnel are all in the military and government, officials of the Tang Dynasty."

Although I know that Qin Shou may not like to hear it, but what I should say is that the foundation of the aristocratic families such as Wuxing and Qiwang is not in Chang'an. Once they do too much, they will rely on their local influence to make everyone Don was in disarray.

Qin Shou shook his head, "What are you thinking, am I the kind of person who likes to fight and kill?"

The corner of Li Ji's mouth twitched, he was noncommittal.

In my heart, I complained crazily:

you are not?Count how many people died directly or indirectly at your hands?

Don't you have any clues in your heart?

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Qin Shou asked a question: "How are the refugees around Chang'an?"

Li Ji was a little overwhelmed by the sudden jump of the topic, and he replied after a long while: "It's not good, the number of refugees near Chang'an is still increasing, and countless people have died of starvation, and now it's just spring plowing, and many people don't even There are no seeds, let alone harvests."

"You suggested that the imperial court distribute the seeds, but they can't support the autumn harvest. I'm afraid they will be very hungry and will eat the grain seeds directly."

Qin Shou took a deep breath, then said with a light smile, "Well, in this case, our chance has come."

Opportunity?

Li Ji looked at Qin Shou in puzzlement, his eyes full of confusion.

Qin Shou said: "They are my weapons against the aristocratic families."

Hearing this, Li Ji became even more confused, "No, what exactly do you mean?"

Qin Shou smiled lightly, "I can't explain it to you for a while, so just wait and see!"

"I'll go home first!"

Qin Shou rode away laughing, leaving Li Ji frowning, unable to figure it out.

After Qin Shou ran away, Li Ji came back to his senses suddenly, and shouted to Qin Shou: "I forgot to tell you just now, Your Majesty let you enter the palace."
