Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3498
Xiao Yu has experienced three dynasties and a lifetime of officialdom, experienced ups and downs, and knows the truth of planning for rainy days best.Right now, Fang Jun is not in Beijing, but Fang Jun's traces are evident in all aspects of this great battle. It can be seen that Fang Jun has already become a military leader today, and his strength is far stronger than others can see. Deep and thick.

It is conceivable that once this remonstrance ends with Donggong winning, the Guanlong alliance will completely dissipate, and the remaining clans, although they have the blood of Guanlong, will no longer be able to unite as closely as before and work together to seize power .

Then, the power group headed by Fang Jun will have an interest confrontation with the Jiangnan gentry, because as the only interest group that can compete with the Jiangnan gentry, the Shandong family is inextricably linked with Fang Jun and must stand On Fang Jun's side.

By that time, the situation of the Jiangnan gentry will be extremely passive.

Therefore, even if the blood flowed into rivers in the dark outside the imperial city, Xiao Yu still hit Fang Jun casually without any trace...

Then someone echoed.

Some of them naturally share the same opinion as Xiao Yu, thinking that firearms are too sharp, which can hurt others as well as themselves, and once they are obtained by rebels, it will lead to an unspeakable ending; Xiao Yu's remarks may not be able to understand Xiao Yu's intentions.

On the contrary, Li Chengqian pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "Song Guogong's words are wrong. Whether the weapons and equipment are sharp or not has little to do with the continuation of the dynasty. In fact, even if there is no firearms, with the strength of weapons and the strength of armor at present, It has already surpassed the Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han times by several times, but the turmoil in the world and the change of dynasties have never ceased. The reasons are, firstly, the frequent natural disasters and the people’s livelihood. Rebels with ulterior motives disrupt the court and even conspire to usurp it! As long as you work hard for the ruler and love the people like a son, so that everyone in the world has food and clothing, the dynasty will naturally last forever. , even with only a kitchen knife in hand, the common people will rush into the imperial city, blood spattering for five steps!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was completely convinced.

Li Daozong sighed: "Your Highness' words are the most reasonable in the world!"

Ma Zhou also said: "Except for a few ambitious people, people in the world are satisfied as long as they have a house to live in, a field to cultivate, and medical treatment for their diseases. Who would use their heads to do those stupid things of changing dynasties? Qingheyan lies in the sageness of the monarch and the cleanliness of the officials. Now the power of firearms is well known in the world. Xue Yantuo was overthrown by the imperial battle and deterred the surrounding barbarians. The sharpness of the firearms and the enemy's inability to fight each battle, so the losses are greatly reduced. It can be called a merit. Gai Qianqiu."

In fact, in recent times, Li Chengqian's performance has been enough to amaze everyone.

Although his character is cowardly and difficult to change, but he has the courage to take responsibility at critical moments, he dares to make decisions, and he is able to listen to advice, which is countless times better than before, and he is more and more supported by everyone.

Such a monarch who is soft and generous in nature and able to accept advice can let his subjects maximize their talents, which is what they hope for most.

A generation of heroes like the Qin Emperor, Han Wuna, etc. are powerful and powerful, but they are too headstrong. They treat civil servants and military generals as slaves, and kill them at every turn. It is really a disaster for their officials...

The defense of the imperial city is solid, and the casting bureau is also impenetrable, which makes the atmosphere in the Tai Chi Hall relaxed, unlike the previous tense situation.

However, before everyone could relax for a moment, there was another burst of rumbling gunfire, which made everyone's expressions change.

Because this time, the direction of the artillery sound was from the north...

Li Daozong quickly ordered the officials in the vicinity: "Go to Xuanwu Gate to investigate quickly and see if there are rebels attacking Xuanwu Gate!"

To put it bluntly, Xuanwumen is the gate of Taiji Palace. Once it falls, the rebels can drive straight in, and there is no need to fight this battle.

Before waiting for the officials to go, I saw a lieutenant general stationed at Xuanwu Gate has already rushed into the main hall, came to Li Chengqian, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness, just now, Zuo Tun Wei Qi reported to attack Right Tun In the camp of Wei, the guards in the right station are desperately resisting, and the fierce battle is in full swing!"

The ministers of civil and military affairs in the hall were all startled, and they were afraid that Zuo Tunwei would join the rebel army, but they still came!

Li Chengqian hurriedly asked: "Is Xuanwumen still safe?"

The deputy general said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, even if the Zuo Tunwei attacks the Xuanwu Gate, it must be defeated after the Right Tunwei is defeated. Otherwise, the Right Tunwei will hold back and the Beiya imperial army will fight head-on. It’s hard to say how to attack Xuanwu Gate? Therefore, as long as the Right Guard remains undefeated, the Left Guard will definitely not attack Xuanwu Gate!”

Xiao Yu on the side asked, "How is the battle going?"

The lieutenant general said: "The battle is about to begin, and the situation of the battle is yet to be known, but my commander-in-chief asks His Royal Highness to rest assured for the time being, saying that the right guards are usually well-trained, well-equipped, and powerful in combat. Although the troops are at a disadvantage, they may not be able to fight back. hit."

Hearing this, all the officials in the palace breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Shigui is a veteran general of the empire, and his exploits are illustrious and well-known.

Li Chengqian let out a sigh of relief and said, "Investigate again and report again!"

"Here!"

The deputy general saluted, got up and quickly exited the hall and returned to Xuanwu Gate.

Xiao Yu pondered and said: "I just don't know whether Chai Zhewei has taken refuge in Changsun Wuji or has other plans."

Xuanwumen is the gate of Taiji Palace, as long as it is captured, it will be as long as entering Taiji Palace, and the imperial power that symbolizes the supremacy of the Tang Empire will be taken into your hands. Take the lead among them.

After all, not only the Guanlongmen faction invaded Chang'an City, but also the clan princes were ready to move.

It's a pity that the sixth rate of the Eastern Palace is currently trapped in the imperial city, almost cut off from outside news, it is difficult to know which side Chai Zhewei is on...

When mentioning Changsun Wuji, Li Chengqian was furious, and sternly set the table, saying angrily: "This beast disregards the holy grace, and does not hesitate to mess up the government for his own self-interest. More than a million merchants and people in and outside Chang'an have all fallen into dire straits. They deserve thousands of dollars." Cut to pieces!"

Thinking about this mutiny planned by Changsun Wuji, how could Li Chengqian not be angry?
In fact, although he belonged to his nephew and uncle, Changsun Wuji never looked down on Li Chengqian, but because Li Chengqian was the eldest son of His Majesty Li Er, he was registered as the prince together with Empress Wende, so Changsun Wuji did not directly be opposed to.

But after that, Changsun Wuji resorted to methods secretly, provoking Wei Wang Li Tai, and supporting Jin Wang Li Zhi, forcing Li Chengqian into corners again and again, almost severing himself in front of His Majesty Li Er.

If it wasn't for Fang Jun's help later on, Li Chengqian would have been deposed as the crown prince by now, and he would be thrown in any palace to die at will...

What kind of blood relationship, what kind of mother's kindness and righteousness, have long been wiped out in Li Chengqian's heart. He wished he could drink his blood, eat his flesh, and smash his body into thousands of pieces, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart!

"Mr. Wei..."

"See Duke Wei!"

"Pharmacist, how is the battle ahead?"

A series of voices awakened Li Chengqian from his anger. Seeing Li Jing striding into the Tai Chi Hall with white beard and hair and a helmet on, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Wei, please take a seat!"

Turning around, he told the servant behind him: "Make tea for Duke Wei quickly!"

Li Jing didn't dare to make mistakes, stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "The old minister has an audience with His Highness."

"Why does Duke Wei need to be so polite?"

Li Chengqian also understands the principle of courteous and virtuous corporals, so he stood up straight, stepped forward to support Li Jing with both hands, and then sat down with his hands. Seeing the water stains of melted snowflakes on Li Jing's hood and shoulder armor, he said with concern: "Wei Gong is old, he is very old. Back then, Gu Shang had to rely heavily on Duke Wei to defeat the enemy, so please take care of yourself."

Although this gesture is a little superficial and the traces of affectation are heavy, Li Jing, who has been excluded from the center for many years and has suffered from human affection, is still very heart-warming and moved: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I am old and ambitious. But this old bone vows to build a solid ladder for His Highness, and help His Highness overcome the danger in front of him!"

When the servant brought the tea, Li Jing took it with both hands and held it in his hands, then said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the fierce battle ahead is raging, but the sixth rate of the Eastern Palace relies on the solid defense of the imperial city, so the rebels can do nothing. It's just that the rebels are getting more and more powerful." The more there are, the inside and outside will be blocked, and this battle will be delayed for a long time, and the winner will not be able to tell for a while."

Although the East Palace Liu rate is elite, it is on the defensive, but its strength is too small to go out of the city to fight back.Although the rebel army is a rabble, there are too many people and they can be replenished at any time. Right now, they can only fight fiercely. Unless one of them is exhausted, it is extremely difficult to distinguish the result.
