Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Changsun Wuji knew that he had made such a big mistake and would definitely die without support.

The civil and military ministers in the court were not stupid, and they roughly guessed the other party's intentions.

Previously, because of the reign of Empress Changsun and Prince Li Chengqian, the civil and military officials in the court were afraid of the power of the Changsun family, and even avoided Changsun Wuji, not daring to compete with them in anything.

But now, the life and death of Queen Changsun and Li Chengqian are unknown. Li Chengqian had already lost his position as the crown prince before he was captured. Their family, the Changsun family, is in decline.

Li Shimin was still here before, so the ministers in the DPRK could still give him some face.

But now, the life and death of the Queen and the Prince are unknown, and His Majesty the Emperor is trapped in a tight siege, and his life and death are precarious. Therefore, no one can give Changsun Wuji any face.

He even sneered at his desire to lead troops to reinforce.

After all, the lessons learned from the past are there.

The opponent held absolute power in his hands, but he watched helplessly as Cui Yingying led the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes coalition forces away and occupied two roads south of the Yangtze River.

Such a serious crime would not have been decided unless His Majesty the Emperor was absent, and it would have been impossible for his eldest grandson to be punished for it.

The previous accounts have not yet been settled. At this time, the opponent still wants to lead troops, and wants to make meritorious deeds and hold military power. This is simply a fantasy.

So, after some debate and discussion, everyone agreed that Changsun Wuji was no longer suitable to lead an army.

But trying to find another person in the court who could lead the army and go to rescue him really stumped the minister of civil and military affairs.

After everyone discussed it day and night, they still couldn't come up with a person who was worthy of the big job.

And just when everyone was in a stalemate, Changsun Wuji appeared in front of everyone again with Wei Wang Li Tai.

He also made a blunt request to let his uncle, Changsun Wuji, serve as the commander of the reinforcements and go to Shaanxi Guoguan to rescue his father Li Shimin.

This time, the civil and military officials were shocked.

You know, when Li Chengqian was still the prince, the reputation of Wei King Li Tai was comparable to that of Li Chengqian.

Later, after Li Chengqian was deposed and captured by Chu Mo, Li Tai became the best choice for the crown prince.

You know, Li Zhi was only 6 years old at this time, and he was still not in the eyes of ministers.

And Li Tai, the concubine of Empress Changsun and the fourth son of Li Shimin, became the favorite in everyone's eyes.

Since Li Chengqian lost power, the reputation of Wei King Li Tai has increased, and the calls for him to be crown prince have never stopped.

If there had not been an incident in Chang'an, and Li Shimin's imperial chariot was out on the expedition, and Empress Changsun was captured, it would be impossible to say that Li Tai would have achieved the position of crown prince at this time.

Therefore, when Changsun Wuji pulled his nephew out to support him, all the civil and military ministers in the court were silent and did not dare to compete with him.

Naturally, the mission of supporting Shaanxi Guoguan and rescuing His Majesty the Emperor fell into the hands of Changsun Wuji again.

And Changsun Wuji is also a ruthless person.

In order to silence the ministers in the court, he went directly to the mansion of Qin Qiong, Duke of Yi State, hoping to invite him to come out and take command to rescue Li Shimin.

However, Qin Qiong has always been brooding about Li Shimin's murder of Shan Xiongxin, and because he did not play much role in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he has always been jealous of Li Shimin.

Therefore, after so many years, he gradually stayed away from the court, no longer participated in the disputes in the court, and was gradually forgotten.

He thought of spending his whole life like this, but he never thought that one day, the powerful Changsun Wuji would come to ask for help.

However, Qin Qiong, who had suffered too much criticism before and had not used force for many years, was now in a much worse state than before.

Changsun Wuji's request was flatly rejected.

Changsun Wuji was not surprised at all when Qin Qiong refused.

At this time, he just wanted to find someone who could silence the courtiers and lead the expedition.

The reason why he targeted Qin Qiong was because he was a marginalized person.

Even if something unexpected happens during the other party's expedition, he won't have to pay too much.

After all, the purpose of his expedition this time was not to rescue Li Shimin, but to deal with Li Shimin.

He had made so many mistakes before, and now he had Changsun Chong and his troops outside, feeling full of threats.

Without the protection of Queen Changsun and the prince, if he really welcomes Li Shimin back to Chang'an.

I'm just afraid that the other party will attack him as soon as he comes back.

Therefore, in his plan, Li Shimin could only die on the battlefield, and the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty could only be his nephew Li Tai.

In order to achieve his own goal, and to silence the courtiers and the world, he set his sights on Qin Qiong.

Although Qin Qiong rejected Changsun Wuji's request, Changsun Wuji did not give up.

He first promoted Qin Qiong's son Qin Huaidao to the vanguard of the rescue army, and then sent people to give a large number of rewards, hoping to force the other party to submit.

However, at this time, Qin Qiong was already disheartened and did not even look at Changsun Wuji's overtures.

In the end, in desperation, Changsun Wuji had no choice but to use his trump card, and included the descendants of Yuchi Baoqi, Fang Yiai, Du He and other civil and military ministers into the ranks of King Qin's army this time.

Not only that, he also incorporated all these second generations into the command of Qin Huaidao, who had just been promoted to the vanguard officer, so that they could rush to Shaanxi Guoguan to rescue him as soon as possible and gain merit as soon as possible.

As a result, Fang Xuanling and other ministers could not sit still.

You know, these are all their descendants. If they become the vanguard, wouldn't they just rush to die?

As a result, the originally deserted residence of Lord Yi Guo Qin Qiong suddenly became lively.

Those officials did not come to the door themselves, but asked their wives and family members to come to the door every day to cry.

Qin Qiong was asked not to watch their children die on the front line for the sake of past friendship.

Qin Qiong, who had originally made up his mind and refused to compromise, was now one of the top two.

What made him collapse even more was that Changsun Wuji brought him another news.

That is, his good brother Yuchi Jingde fell into the enemy's trap on the way to round up the five surnames and Qi Wang. At this time, his life and death are unknown, and he may have fallen into the hands of Da Zhou.

If they are not rescued in time, they may be separated from each other.

After hearing the news that Yuchi Jingde's life and death were uncertain, and that his son Yuchi Baoqi was about to die on the battlefield, Qin Qiong finally couldn't sit still.

After he expressed his deep condolences to the eighteenth representative of Changsun Wuji's ancestor, he reluctantly accepted the banner of the commander of the rescue army, and then led the hastily assembled 70000 miscellaneous troops to fight with Changsun Wuji left Chang'an together and went directly to Shaanxi Guoguan.
