Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3457 The situation is critical

"Academy?"

"Xu Jingzong?"

……

There was an exclamation full of doubts in the hall.

Even Li Chengqian clicked his tongue and looked at Li Jing who made this remonstrance with resentful eyes...

It's not that they don't trust Li Jing. In fact, with Li Jing's ability and seniority, the East Palace can be regarded as a thick thigh that cannot be thicker. The army, and the rest have no such ability.

But where is the academy?
Together with Chongwen Hall and Hongwen Hall, it is known as one of the three highest institutions of learning in the Tang Dynasty, and because the academy is compatible with subjects such as Gewu, Mathematics, and Lectures, the scale is extremely complicated and huge. Every student studying here has The extraordinary talent can be called the pride of heaven.

Not to mention that each of these students is the treasure of the empire, and they cannot be easily caught in the battle. Even if they go all out regardless of casualties, how can these students who "only read sage books" resist the rebels like wolf and tiger?

Not to mention that although Xu Jingzong's qualifications are extremely high, he is a minister of His Majesty Li Er's hidden residence, and he is also known as one of the "Eighteen Scholars of the Qin Palace", but his ability lies in literature and history, and he has no strength to slander and flatter him, and his position is not firm Swaying from side to side, let him lead a group of student soldiers to face the menacing rebels, fearing that if they meet each other, they will have to abandon their weapons and surrender...

After all, Li Chengqian still respects Li Jing, so he couldn't refute it directly, so he coughed dryly and expressed his opinion as tactfully as possible: "This...is there another way? Although there are a large number of students in the academy, they have only experienced military training for a period of time. , has never really been on the battlefield, and his morale will inevitably collapse if he encounters a slight setback. As for Xu Jingzong...although he has outstanding literary talents, he is not a good general, and he may miss a big deal."

Li Jing said firmly: "The students of the academy have never been on the battlefield, but who has been on the battlefield since birth? Many new recruits who went to the battlefield for the first time performed better than the veterans. Besides, the students of the academy are all talented. Those who are well-known in reading can naturally fight well. As for Xu Jingzong, although he lacks military talent, he can stick to the foundry without needing to form troops, and he does not need much military talent. It's quite high, and with a call to Bainuo, it's enough to be able to calm down those proud and conceited students at critical moments."

The task given to Xu Jingzong was to stick to the foundry bureau, and it was not for him to defeat the rebels. In fact, he didn't have many opportunities to display his military talents. He only needed to sit in the foundry bureau and make all the student soldiers obey orders.

Some time ago, the entire East Palace had already made full preparations for today's situation. Not only did the Six Commanders of the East Palace undergo such a large-scale reorganization and training, but the academy also organized several military training sessions, which made the students All are proficient in handling firearms.

It has to be admitted that as long as it is a talent, it is a talent wherever it is placed.

These students who are well-known in the village and can be regarded as a hero can read the book well, and they are all brains. They are much easier to use than those elm heads of the soldiers, let alone all kinds of firearms. Manipulation, even some complex tactics can be understood by analogy and draw inferences from one instance.

If these student soldiers stick to the foundry, they will probably be able to hold on...

The rest of the ministers looked at each other and remained silent.

Although I didn't think Li Jing's remonstrance was a good idea, but the current situation was such that it was impossible to divide the troops to defend the foundry bureau. We couldn't let the foundry bureau fall into the hands of the rebels easily, right?Then let Xu Jingzong lead the academy students there, and be a dead horse and a living horse doctor...

Li Chengqian saw that no one objected, so he had no choice but to nod his head and said: "In this case, I will act according to the advice of Duke Wei."

"Here!"

It was Cui Dunli who arranged for scouts to sneak out of the city and go to the academy to issue the prince's edict.

The rest of the people surrounded the prince and walked out of Nanxun Hall, escorted by thousands of imperial guards, and moved to Taiji Palace.As for the concubines and family members of the Eastern Palace, they will be escorted a step later by heavy soldiers.

……

In the apse, Princess Changle and Crown Princess Su Shizi sat opposite each other, a little nervous.

Especially Princess Changle, how could she have imagined that she only entered the city once, and everything was fine before, but suddenly the situation changed, and Changsun Chong was caught and arrested, but the Guanlongmen faction turned up all the rebels and vowed to carry out military remonstrance, Dethrone the Eastern Palace...

The Crown Princess Su Clan is rather courageous, the enemy is present and the situation is urgent, but she is still calm and calm, she just sighed softly: "His Royal Highness is about to be named a Crown Prince, the world sees it and thinks it is the destiny, Good luck. But who can imagine how much criticism and pressure the crown prince has suffered over the years? Even today, there are still some rebellious officials and thieves who want to replace him... The throne holds the supreme power in the world, but it is also unparalleled in the world The poison, whoever gets it, will lose family affection and morality."

Princess Changle was silent.

Above the imperial power, the king and his ministers had to die. If anyone didn't want to live in this kind of crisis that could be taken away by an imperial decree at any time, he could only fight, put aside morality and etiquette, and sit down. Take that supreme position.

Today, it seems that the Guanlongmen faction is exercising military remonstrance, but who will benefit from it, and whose acquiescence will it be?

At that time, Uncle Li Jiancheng secretly murdered his father for the sake of the stability of the imperial power, and his father also killed brothers and brothers under the Xuanwu sect for the sake of the supreme position... Throughout the ages, the imperial power has changed, and the bloody competition from generation to generation has never stopped.

Now, I'm afraid that scene will repeat itself...

The bottom of my heart is tangled and uncomfortable, although I know that this day will probably come, but when it comes, I still feel unacceptable.

With a sigh, he stretched out his hand and patted the back of the princess's hand, and said softly, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, as you said, why haven't you experienced all these years of ups and downs? You have come through all the ups and downs, Ji People have their own nature. It is better to clean up quickly, take Li Xiang and Li Wei, and move to Taiji Palace as soon as possible, don't let the prince brother worry about it."

The Crown Princess Su held her slender hand with her backhand, and Princess Changle realized that the soft palm of the Crown Princess was already covered with sweat. It turned out that the indifference on her face was just pretending to be relaxed...

But that's no wonder.

The struggle for imperial power is naturally accompanied by bloody winds.Not to mention those stories in the history books, even in the change of Xuanwumen back then, after the father won, he not only killed his uncle Li Jiancheng and third uncle Li Yuanji, but also killed the whole family of the two families. Boys who are above adulthood cannot escape the massacre.

If the rebel army wins today, Li Chengqian will certainly die, and his two heirs will also die without a place to bury them. Even the crown prince and other concubines don't know how they will be punished.What kind of humiliation would it be if he was filled into any palace and served the enemy with his own body?
After all, there is a precedent of the father, and the sons of the father, one or two, worship the father, and imitate the father's behavior in words and deeds...

After a while, several concubines had already packed up their clothes and belongings, and brought Li Xiang and Li Wei's two children to the palace.

When the two children saw the crown princess, they immediately broke free from the concubine's hand and rushed forward. They didn't see Princess Changle until they were near the front. They hurriedly straightened their clothes like a young adult, bowed respectfully to the ground, and said in a respectful voice: "Nephew, see you!" Aunt Changle!"

Princess Changle looked at the two pink and jade-carved, heroic children, and felt a pang in her heart. She forced a smile and stretched out her hand to help: "Return the child, there is no need to be polite, please hurry up!"

"Thank you auntie!"

The two children got up and ran to the princess from left to right, each holding her arm. Li Xiang raised his head and asked innocently: "Mother, I heard that there are rebels outside who want to kill father and us. , is there such a thing?"

The Crown Princess did not punish those talkative maids, and now the whole city knows about such important matters, so there is no need to hide them.

She raised her hand to caress Li Xiang's cheek that resembled her grandfather, with tears in her eyes, and said with a forced smile, "Don't worry, Xiang'er, he is just some rebellious officials and thieves who have no ruler or father. Your father will naturally lead the soldiers in the court I will kill the bandits and bring order out of chaos!"

Being born in a heavenly family is a blessing from the ninth generation of cultivation. Since childhood, he has been clothed in rich clothes and fine food and is incomparably noble; however, being born in a heavenly family has not done anything good in his previous life. Enjoy a peaceful and peaceful life.

Thinking in his heart that if the situation collapsed, the two children would be decapitated by the thief with a knife, and his heart felt as if he had been slashed by a knife, and tears finally flowed down uncontrollably.
