Crown Tang emperor

Li Tong originally planned to use Zhang Jianzhi as a breakthrough point, recall him to the court and give him a high position, and set an example for the governors of other Hebei states.But his order here has not been issued yet, Hebei has already raised the anti-flag, and Zhang Jianzhi, the governor of Huaizhou, was unfortunately killed.
Sun Quan, the governor of Xiangzhou, was the son of Sun Chuyue, the prime minister of the Gaozong Dynasty, and he had a good relationship with Dai, the in-law chosen by his fourth uncle for Li Chengqi. From the time point of view, the news of the shocking change in Luoyang almost spread to the state , Immediately raised the flag to rebel, which also shows that the current imperial court has almost no possibility of recruiting him.
News of a series of changes in Hebei had spread to Luoyang a few days ago, but in order to ensure that the situation in the capital would not be affected, Li Tong did not make it public. He waited until reinforcements arrived before sending troops across the river.
Heyang is located near the Taihang Xing Pass on the north bank of the Yellow River. It is an important passage connecting Shanxi and Hebei.
After Hei Chi Changzhi led his army across the river, there was no way to conceal the changes in Hebei.However, under Li Tong's bluffing, the courtiers generally felt that the imperial court had the strength to send troops to counter the rebellion, and they did not feel much panic because of it.
However, Sun Quan's rebellion, the governor of Xiangzhou, also changed the attitude of some courtiers towards Hedong.If the follow-up Hebei states generally use Li Chengqi as an excuse to stand on the opposite side of the imperial court, this is obviously unacceptable to the imperial court.
It is related to the safety of Dingye, and naturally there is no benevolence of women, so some courtiers advocated that the attitude towards Hedong should be tough. The crime of loyalty and unfilial piety.
However, Li Tong knew in his heart that although he would not condone the personnel forces in Hedong and Hebei to use Li Chengqi as a cover to make trouble outside, but right now he really didn't have enough power to order the army to go north.Especially as Heizhi Changzhi and others moved eastward, even Tongguan and Puzhou's defenses became empty. Although the follow-up pass continued to recruit troops, there would be a window of ten days.
Of course, the Hedong issue must be actively resolved, but sending troops directly is the next best thing to do.In fact, Li Tong already had a solution in his heart, and he had already made full preparations. Before that, the courtiers wrote a letter hoping to resolve it peacefully through negotiation. This is basically the same idea as Li Tong, except that Li Tong chose the target of contact. It was not his cousin Li Chengqi or a few generals who commanded the army, but a direct dialogue with the soldiers in the camp.
While the courtiers were still guessing, the government affairs hall of the imperial court finally expressed its attitude towards solving the Hedong problem in the form of a written order, "An Edict to the Generals, Officers and Members of the Heavenly Soldiers and Ways".
The imperial edict first affirmed and praised Tianbingdao’s feats in resisting the Turkic invasion this time. Although the battle itself is hard to describe, the [-] troops stranded in Hedong must always give a positive evaluation and statement.
The second is to reaffirm the court's attitude towards the Turks, that is, never discuss peace, and anyone who holds this tone to stand up and stand up will be accused of treason!The Turks will never be pardoned, and those who have resisted the battle in the Shanyudao Zhuzhou will be handed over to the first to third ranks, and each will be given the title of General Guiyi.
The imperial court made Yao Yuanchong, Minister of the Ministry of War, the commander-in-chief of the Shuofang Dao army, and then made the new army in charge of the crusade against the Turkic bandits. In addition to the meritorious service in the previous battle, the meritorious service is for those who can live the pawn, and the meritorious service is for the pawn who can live on his own.
At the same time, the imperial court began to transport money, grain and materials to the battalions along the Fenshui line from now on, so as to provide supplies for the marching of the army.Every camper who travels a hundred miles, that is, Jixun first turn, and Jixun turn [-], he will disarm and leave the army, exempt from three years of compulsory service, and will be given a field in his hometown, one hectare of land in a wide township, and fifty fields in a narrow township. mu.
If the military governors are able to survive thousands of members, they will be given the first rank, and the third rank will be given to Yin and one son, who will be added to the three prefectures.
Li Tong has never been afraid or avoided killing, but it also depends on who the target is.Although the number of the [-] troops of Tianbingdao looks amazing, their actual combat effectiveness is so-so. Once the army in the pass is assembled in May, it will not be difficult to solve this threat.
But the vast majority of those sergeants are civilians who were newly registered last year. They are not veterans who have fought for a long time, and they are not highly organized and obedient. Li Tong was really reluctant to sacrifice these people.
In the past period of time, he has extensively cleaned Luoyang City, and a large number of pastoral industries around Duji have been returned to the government.Heluo is different from other realms. There is no need for large-scale official reclamation. The equalization of land and the establishment of households are of great significance to the stability of the order and governance of the capital.
Especially with the increasing land load in Guanzhong, it has become difficult to afford the huge personnel structure of the imperial court.Although Li Tong will also return to Guanzhong in October to complete the ancestor worship and enthronement ceremony, he will not completely move the court back to Chang'an.In particular, the future imperial court will focus on Hebei, and it is not known how long it will take to stabilize Hebei, so in the future Luoyang will still be the political center where Shengjia resides.
Regarding the water transportation in Guanzhong, Li Tong does not plan to make further reforms in recent years. He wants to save this part of manpower and material resources to dredge and develop the water transportation environment in Hebei.
In Hebei and Liaodong, he was not only satisfied with destroying the rebellious Khitan, he would never allow Liao to leave a Bohai state because of Khitan's rebellion, and the old place of the Three Hans no longer only maintained a state of Jiji rule, and needed to establish a real organizational system. household rule.
Of course, such a goal cannot be achieved in just a few years, and the current political center structure will naturally have to be maintained for a long time.
During the years of Chuigong and Tianshou, although the imperial court forcibly relocated hundreds of thousands of Guanzhong people to Heluo, but because the subsequent resettlement work such as household registration and land granting did not keep up with it in time, a large number of people who had originally moved out flowed back to Guanzhong again.
Previously, Xingtai and the imperial court were in a state of split, so Li Tong was naturally happy to see the results.But as he entered the imperial court, the vitality between Heluo and Heluo was also an unavoidable problem.
Even if there is no question of appeasement of the Hedong army, a large-scale compilation of households and even fields is still a must.Now that the two things are being done at the same time, there is no reason to allow those sergeants in Hedong to be coerced into chaos and become victims of domestic political struggles.
Moreover, the current timing is also very suitable. On the one hand, the imperial court has established a law of operation during the Yasukuni period. means of production.
On the other hand, if the Hedong issue is a little careless, it will intensify and become a war disaster between the same room. Before that, the courtiers generally hoped that it could be resolved peacefully.Jian Guo Yuansi made such an order to appease, which itself also contained a strong sense of human relations, and tried his best to avoid conflicts and wars with the heir king Li Chengqi.
So when the imperial edict was promulgated, the originally serious and heavy court atmosphere became more relaxed and harmonious.
On the issue of Hedong, the Yuan Si of Jian Guo was cautious in using troops, and his top priority was living people. Obviously, he was warmer than a majestic and harsh image, and it was more in line with the expectations of his subjects for a benevolent king.Although this benevolence is based on bloody killings, it at least indicates that the direction of the world has begun to change, which is reassuring.
Of course, the announcement of the imperial decree is one aspect, and whether the army stranded in Hedong can effectively receive the court's goodwill release and benevolent government is also a key issue.
Regarding this point, Li Tong also has a matching strategy, which is still to exert the power of the people as much as possible.Prior to this, the Ministry of War was busy counting the military registration of Tianbing Dao, gathering the military families around the capital, resettling them along the river and giving them subsidies.Next, the imperial court will organize some military family members to go northward with the imperial troops to provide supplies to the returning troops from the east of the river.
With the care of the court's benevolent government, the supply of money, food and materials, and the inspiration of the local voice and righteousness, Li Tong believed that the problem of the stranded troops in Hedong could be resolved to the greatest extent.
As for his cousin Li Chengqi's attitude and reaction, he didn't really care. As long as the Hedong army disintegrated, the Guanzhong army must have been assembled. , Wipe them all out!
In fact, Li Tong secretly hoped that his cousin would not accept the arrangement of the court too submissively, and that he was willing to keep a few boys from his fourth uncle's family.If he wanted to kill them immediately just to eliminate hidden dangers, he would feel that he was too cruel.
But Li Chengqi is not the case. Although he has been out of the cabinet for a short time, he has already had a considerable degree of connection with the personnel in the court, and he has also been in charge of the army. Not easy to deal with.
Chapter 0785 Jian Guoyuan heir, benevolence and generosity
The name of the land in Hedong is the Biaoli Mountains and Rivers, the mountains are naturally the Taihang Mountains, and the rivers are the water system network centered on the Yellow River, Fenshui River, and Qinshui River.As the largest river in Hedong, Fenshui connects the states and runs through the whole territory. The area it flows through is the most essence of the entire Hedong Road.
Last year, the Turks invaded Hedong, which caused great damage to the livelihood of the people in the states of Hedong. The local pressure is equally great.
Especially in Jinzhou, Qinzhou, Fenzhou and other places, the cost of supporting the army even exceeded the losses caused by the Turkic invasion.This is also something that can’t be helped. Last year, in order to cheer up the military power, the imperial court prevented the Western Army from entering Hedong, and the capital was poor and the surrounding troops were poor. Although the army was gathered in a hurry, the preparations for supporting supplies did not keep up. Provided by the states along the way.
The national crisis is imminent, if the Turks cannot be driven out successfully, then the Hedong states will inevitably be invaded and looted, so there is nothing to worry about in terms of raising money and food.The geographical location and environment of Hedong Road are relatively superior, and the states also have a lot of money and food reserves, but they have provided considerable supplies to the imperial army.
But with the development of the situation, the situation gradually became worse.Not to mention what the war was like, the [-] soldiers eating horses, coupled with the collection of civilian husbands and livestock, soon became a huge burden, and the departure of the army was far away, making people miserable .
The so-called banditry is like a comb, and soldiers are like a grate. No matter who you are, you probably don't want such a large army to be stationed in the countryside for a long time.In particular, the imperial court has undergone many changes, and the situation of the army of the heavenly soldiers and roads has become subtle and embarrassing. If the local government does not provide supplies, it is worried that the army will cause disaster to the local people.
Therefore, people in the various prefectures of Hedong Road are now very anxious, and both the military and the civilians are eager for a good turnaround.
The [-] troops of Tianbing Dao are not gathered together. In order to obtain more supplies, they are distributed along several major rivers such as Fenshui and Qinshui. They are divided into Shangdang in Luzhou, Xiangling and Fen in Jinzhou. The number of troops stationed in Fenyang, Bingzhou, and Taiyuan, Bingzhou also ranged from several thousand to tens of thousands.
Before the imperial court was in chaos, it originally intended to hold peace talks with the Turks and retreated the army to the capital, but a series of subsequent changes were triggered. King Yong led his army eastward to protest, and Di Renjie, who was ordered to go north, also died in a post in Fenzhou. In the museum, the peace talks naturally fell through.
As the general manager of Tianbing Dao, Yu Wang Li Chengqi had already arrived in Fenzhou after hearing the accident from the south. A series of military adjustments has temporarily formed such a pattern in Hedong Road.
Among them, there are more than [-] troops in Xiangling, Jinzhou, with Maren Jie, General You Yulin who originally belonged to Beiya, as the marching commander.Xiangling is located here as the hub of the Fenshui River, from which the downward water transportation is developed, and the south of the territory is closely connected with Guanzhong. The biggest function of the Maren Festival stationed here is to prevent the original Xingtai forces from penetrating to the east of the river.
There are [-] troops stationed in Fenyang, with Wei Wei Shaoqing and Fenzhou Sima Jinghui as the chief marching officers.Luzhou also had a garrison of over [-] troops, which was temporarily restrained by Wang Xiaojie, the deputy chief of the Tianbing Road Marching Army.
In addition to these key locations, there are also some troops patrolling between states and counties to raise money, food and supplies for the army to search.Li Chengqi, king of Yu, led an army of [-] troops to stay in Taiyuan City. After the news of Luoyang's great change and King Yong's supervision of the country by Yuan heir spread to Hedong, the number of troops stationed in Taiyuan has also been increasing. shrink.
Not to mention where the army will go, when the imperial court passed the book-making order issued by Yu Wang Li Chengqi, the Xiangling garrison, which is the most southerly, undoubtedly endured great pressure, especially the chief general Maren Jie was even more worried.Regardless of whether the Tianbingdao army rebelled or surrendered, Maren Festival's troops were undoubtedly the first to bear the brunt and took the greatest risk.
"Is there any report from Taiyuan?"
In the past few days, Maren Festival can't remember how many times he asked his subordinates like this. Seeing his subordinates shaking his head, he asked again and told him: "Is there any abnormality happening in the south? We must strictly control the water, land and Jin." If you find traces of the Western Army's activities, report them immediately without delay!"
Most of the Beiya government uses Hu generals as the guards, and the Maren Festival is no exception.
He was a descendant of Baekje and was born in the Fuyu tribe of Dongyi. This kind of background left him with little room for political choice. The general of the forbidden army, before the king of Yu in the rear expressed his position, he did not dare to express his attitude to the court privately, so he could only wait passively.
This kind of waiting with an uncertain future is undoubtedly the most tormenting.Calculating from the time, Taiyuan should have received the relevant urgent report long ago, but it has been a long time since there was any order to convey to the troops.
Of course, Maren Festival also understands that in the face of such a situation, no matter who is in the position of King Yu, it may be difficult to calculate the pros and cons clearly and make correct judgments and decisions.
But it is difficult to make a decision. The most important thing right now is to make a decision as soon as possible. No matter whether the decision is right or wrong, it should be the first time to point out a direction for the hesitant army. The longer the delay, the more morale the army will have. of slack.
Especially since the entry of the unified army, the Maren Festival can clearly feel the influence exerted by Daxingtai of Shaanxi Dao on Hedong Dao, which far exceeds that of the imperial court. His Royal Highness was full of praise.
Moreover, as the army stayed in the border and the consumption of materials gradually intensified, the officials and people of Hedong Dao expressed their disgust towards the Tianbing Dao army more and more straightforwardly.
Although the farming in Xiangling is not well-developed, but because of the superior geographical conditions and the abundance of salt and iron, the state is quite rich.The Maren Festival is stationed here, and it also undertakes a task of raising money and food for the army and transporting it to the north.
But with the development of the situation, this task has gradually become more difficult.First of all, the prefectural and county governments no longer cooperated with each other. Although they dared not reject the envoys demanding money and food due to the might of the army, they also used various excuses to shirk.
As for the folks, there is no need to say more.Although the Tianbingdao army has the power to take supplementary money and food on the spot, the resistance between the towns and villages has become more and more fierce.In the beginning, the peasants stopped and fled, but when the news of Yuan Si's supervision of the country spread to China, the atmosphere among the villages and towns had intensified to the point of armed confrontation, and the teams going out to search for things were frequently blocked and even attacked.
On this day, while going out to patrol the camps, Maren Festival found that there were many emptiness in the camps, especially the few camps on the outskirts of the big camp were more short of personnel, and some camps were even scattered.
Of course, this is not a good phenomenon. In order to deter the soldiers of the battalion and avoid large-scale dispersal of the soldiers, Maren Festival ordered the elite soldiers of the army headquarters to patrol the surrounding countryside, search for the fleeing soldiers, and capture the fleeing soldiers. The pawns were all beaten to the bloody shackles for public display.
Under such severe punishment and intimidation, the public sentiment was slightly deterred to a certain extent, but the situation did not improve much.The soldiers were all controlled in the camp, making the barracks almost completely isolated from the outside world.Without the sergeants going out to demand supplies, the officials of nearby counties completely cut off the delivery of supplies to the army, and the food stored in the camp was rapidly consumed.
"General, we can't go on like this anymore. The battalion is resentful towards the superior, and the depression can't be resolved. I'm afraid it will endanger itself!"
Although the battalion soldiers did not dare to flee anymore, their grievances were also accumulating rapidly. Ma Renjie's lieutenant general and his relative, Ma Sizong, remonstrated worriedly.
Hearing what the clan said, Maren Jie couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and said helplessly, "How could I not know this? But first, the King of Xiang put me in the humble place, gave me a military opportunity, and now suddenly died If I just give up my heir and entrust my life to the imperial court, and disobey loyalty and righteousness, even if I can do it for a short time, I am afraid I will not be able to stand in the Chinese court for a long time. If the people of ten thousand lose the protection of the imperial court because of my own decline, although the world is big, where can they send their lives!"
Ma Sizong was still waiting to be persuaded, but seeing Maren Festival's sad face and unwillingness to talk deeply, he could only sigh and shut up.
After dealing with many fugitives, within a few days, many vehicles and boats began to appear on the Fenshui River and on both sides.When Maren Festival heard this, he couldn't help being even more shocked. While asking people to set up fences on the river to prevent the boats from continuing to travel, they also sent messengers to deliver the news in the direction of Taiyuan.
The transport ships coming from the south did not carry many troops, the imperial flag was hung high on the bow, and the cabin was full of goods.After approaching the military camp stationed in Linhe, the soldiers on the boat began to draw their bows and shoot towards the shore.
"Jianguo Yuansi, benevolent and benevolent, stop the army and march, feed along the river, reward the army, force to stay guilty, and return to the country to be meritorious!"
In addition to shooting books to the shore, the officers on board were also shouting slogans loudly, conveying the imperial court's will to both sides of the river bank.Not only that, the big boats put down small boats, loaded with food, and let these small boats flow to the river bank.
"All camps keep their camps, beware of fraud, and don't go out without authorization! Those who disobey orders will be killed!"
Hearing and seeing Maren Festival on the bank of the river, he was also surprised and uncertain, but subconsciously ordered and restrained his troops.
However, after hearing all kinds of shouts in the river, the soldiers of the battalions were already very excited, and moved closer to the river bank regardless of the obstruction, and some even took the initiative to go into the water to pull the small boats containing food.
"Yuan Si's benevolence is generous, and the livelihood of the soldiers can be seen. Please don't stop the general!"
When Ma Sizong saw that Maren Festival was still busy issuing orders to stop him, he couldn't bear it any longer, so he stepped forward to persuade him again, but Maren Festival just roared and cursed: "Zhuzi wants to trap me for injustice..."
"One thief who is foolish and loyal will kill the lives of all! Morality and righteousness are gathered together, and everyone sees it. Now it is for the thirsty soldiers to kill this evil thief. All the battalions are ordered by the imperial court to return to the south!"
Seeing that Maren Festival was still stubborn and loyal, Ma Sizong simply drew the knife in his hand, gritted his teeth and chopped it down, yelling loudly in his mouth, and then fell to the ground and burst into tears after the knife fell.
Chapter 0786 wants to rejuvenate, benevolence is hard to admire
Taiyuan was originally the land where the dragons of the Tang family prospered, and it was promoted to the northern capital during the Wu Zhou period.
Last year when the Turkic invaders plundered the territory, people from all over the world swarmed into the city to avoid disasters. After the Turkic siege for many days, they failed to conquer the city. As the Tianbingdao army marched northward, the Turkic bandits had to retreat regretfully.
Now the season has come to April, and several months have passed since the war disaster, but Taiyuan City and the surrounding border areas still haven't been able to get out of the shadow of the war.
One of the most obvious phenomena is the rural villages around Taiyuan City. It should have been a scene of continuous nurseries and diligent farming and picking mulberries, but now it is a scene of wild grass and dilapidated villages.Many people who fled to the city before are still stranded in the city and have not been properly repatriated and resettled.
After the Bing Dao army entered Taiyuan that day, they took over the military and political affairs of Taiyuan.At the beginning, it was worried that there might still be thieves and thieves in the countryside, so the villagers were not allowed to leave the city privately.In addition, the Tianbingdao army itself did not have enough labor rations, so the villagers who had fled into the city were conscripted on the spot to serve as military personnel, built various fortifications to prevent the Turks from making a comeback, and transported and produced various materials.
The civil affairs measures during the war period are different from those in normal seasons. Although there are officials in the army, the scope of their duties is quite different from that of the prefectural and county officials, and the management of civil affairs must be more rough and tough.After all, they came to fight, not Xingzhi to persuade farming.
If it only stopped here, the current political situation of Taiyuan City would not be so dilapidated. After all, there is still a Bingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to pick up the omissions, which can come forward to govern the places that the marching shogunate did not care about.
But it is a pity that with the entry of Li Chengqi, the head of Tianbing Dao and Yu Wang, all the officials under the command of the former governor of Bingzhou, from Chang Shi Su Weiwei, were directly imprisoned by Yu Wang.
From the point of view of King Yu, Su Weiwei and others were undoubtedly guilty. They were incompetent in defending the land and caused the Turks to invade the states in Hedong, so that the imperial court had to send a large army into the state to defeat the enemy.Although the city of Taiyuan was barely kept, the main reason was the arrival of the Tianbingdao army, which made the Turks retreat in fear.
Even if they don't ask for guilt, Su Weiwei and others are also not clean.Although he holds the official position and salary of the imperial court, his butt has been sitting on the side of Xingtai and King Yong, and he often obeys the imperial court's orders.
King Yu was young and energetic, new in power, and he didn't rub the sand in his eyes. Naturally, he couldn't tolerate a double-faced person like Su Weiwei who could survive in the government and continue to poach the corner of the court.Especially after the army entered the country, the Taiyuan government treasury reserves were far less than imagined, so the army did not get replenished in time, so they continued to pursue the Turkic bandits in Monan.
Counting down, if several major crimes were punished together, Su Weiwei would simply deserve to die.Originally, King Yu really planned to kill Su Weiwei directly, but under the persuasion of all the members of the army, Su Weiwei's life was temporarily saved. Digging deep.
Because King Yu felt that Guanzhong alone was far from enough for Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province to support such a huge army and carry out conquest plans. It was gradually difficult for the imperial court to restrain Xingtai.Although he worked hard this time to no avail, his past military exploits were not glorious either!
Although this time failed to snipe the Turks in the country, if we can use this to clean up the entire Hedong Road officials, solve the personnel affairs that colluded with Xingtai, and restore the smooth flow of the imperial government's government orders in Hedong Road, it will undoubtedly be a big deal. A great achievement.
So driven by King Yu's mentality, the original administrative structure of Bingzhou Metropolitan Government was almost wiped out, and the civil and military officials of Bingzhou who were actively organizing the defense, resistance and relief a moment ago were soon reduced to prisoners.As soon as it responded to civil affairs, it naturally fell into a state of suspension.
Especially after the news of the peace talks with the Turks was leaked, and after the death of Di Renjie and King Yong's eastward journey happened one after another, King Yu felt that King Yong's penetration of Bingzhou and even the entire Hedong Road was so pervasive that almost all his schemes were There are no secrets.
Previously, the court of Shendu urged King Yu to return to the middle school of the teacher's country several times, and King Yu originally planned to give up the things he was doing in Hedong for the time being.However, after the news of the peace talks with the Turks leaked out, the reputation of the Tianbingdao army in Hedong fell to the bottom in an instant, and it was almost protested by the soldiers and the people.
Such a large-scale military dispatch would be disastrous without the cooperation and defeat of local states and counties.In view of the indignation of the people in Hedong, King Yu could only stay here temporarily under the persuasion of all the members of the army, hoping that the imperial court would give orders to cooperate and provide supplies.
With this stop, the entire Hui army should come to a standstill, and the news from the south changed three times a day, all kinds of rumors grew, people panicked, and morale was hard to boost.
The state city located in Taiyuan City is where King Yu's tent is located. At this time, a fierce quarrel is taking place in the festival hall where there are many soldiers stationed.
In the lobby, Li Chengqi stood behind the desk, dressed plain and haggard, with an extremely sad expression on his face, his eyes were red and swollen, he beat the desk with his fist and roared angrily: "The treacherous people in the country are making trouble, my father died in Henan, As a minister and son, I can't be loyal and sacrifice my life, I am already going to be ridiculed by the people of the world! Now I only order all the troops to mourn and submit, and you still want to stop me!"
More than a dozen civil and military officials in the lobby bowed deeply to the ground, and responded silently to Li Chengqi's roar.After a while, another official knocked on the ground and said in a shy voice: "The ministers are shocked to hear the bad news, and they are also deeply saddened. However, now that the commander of the army is away, there are indeed many inconveniences, and he cannot follow the etiquette...Please mourn, Your Highness..."
"My condolences, my condolences... It's not you who died and your father and grandparents, I feel a little heartbroken... It's just, it's just that you mediocre people blocked me before, so that I couldn't return to the capital as soon as possible, otherwise, how could my father... an ordinary person Hu Ding and Zhuangyao are all crying for misfortune, today is the death of the emperor, aren't you a royal minister? Dare to serve the decline of the times!"
Li Chengqi was in distraught at this moment, unable to listen to any explanation, he threw his clothes on the floor, beat his chest and wailed.
"How dare you wait... However, the march of the Tianbing Road is hasty, the winter clothes are scarce, and the spring clothes are unprepared. They are stranded in the state, and many soldiers have been lying in the wild to drink the dew... Although the situation is sad, but the materials are not enough. In the ritual of wasting, it will be more difficult to pay for it..."
Seeing Li Chengqi's disfigurement in grief, the subordinates were all moved to tears.But when the army is outside, there are many more realistic and urgent things to consider, and it is really impossible to indulge in false rituals.
"I don't care, I don't care...I want to go back to the capital, I want to...don't care what kind of army he is, what a strange world this is, to force people to lose their filial piety!"
Li Chengqi's face was full of tears, he staggered and fell to the ground, his body curled up in grief.
Finally, a gray-haired old man among the courtiers couldn't hold back anymore. Before entering, he mentioned Li Chengqi and pressed him on the seat. Where to go, look up to His Highness for one thought, how can you indulge in arbitrariness! The crime of ministers and others is extremely serious, but the internal and external hidden dangers will never be released just because a few people are injured! , Also need to be brave!
Back then when the Dao was difficult, King Yong's tooth age was almost the same as that of His Highness today, and he had already dared to praise the Ding Ye, so it was important at home.Now that the survival of the heir is at stake, His Highness is heartbroken, and there is no way to make up for the disaster in the court..."
Hearing this, Li Chengqi's face froze with grief, and after a while, he suddenly opened his teary eyes and glared at the old man.Someone at the side secretly thought that something was wrong, hurriedly came forward and kowtowed: "Pei Changshi couldn't bear His Highness to indulge in sorrow, and lost his words in a hurry, it was definitely not..."
"Shut up! Let him say... the old thief pretends to be loyal. Since his trip to the north, he has repeatedly hindered me in things. He has already had prejudices in his heart. Hearing bad news, I am afraid that he is already secretly happy!"
Li Chengqi got up angrily, raised his hand and knocked the man's head off, his face changed from sadness to anger, and his teeth were clenched.Seeing this scene, the others were silent for a while, not daring to speak casually.
"My minister is guilty, my minister... only the sage, the emperor of Daxing entrusts me with my affairs, forgets his own words, and will assist His Highness..."
The old man's expression was a little gloomy after receiving this rudeness, he just fell to the ground and bowed again, not without grief, he said: "Since I have lost my faith, I dare not speak again. However, the situation is now very serious, Your Highness sincerely has no way to bring order and chaos to order." Wei, if you stay outside again, you may be in danger of losing yourself..."
"Shut up! Dog thief...Come here, get this dog thief out for me, before the first battalion!"
The samurai outside the hall rushed into the hall after hearing the words, threw the old man to the ground, and then dragged him away with a stick.
