Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3505
Hearing that the Right Tunwei showed great power and beat the allied forces of the Zuo Tunwei and the royal army to the ground, Li Chengqian could not help clapping his hands in admiration, and let out a long breath.

It's not that his city mansion is insufficient, and his happiness and anger are reflected in his colors. It's really that Xuanwumen's strategic position is too important, and there is absolutely no room for the slightest mistake.

In the ninth year of Wude, Xuanwumen changed. At that time, he was young and didn't have deep feelings. In these years, few people dared to talk about the old events, but occasionally someone talked about it, but it also made Li Chengqian know about the past events. In detail, knowing that the father was seized by the Xuanwu Sect, he took the throne of the emperor step by step.

Now those rebellious officials and thieves hope to copy the footsteps of their father, how can they not frighten him?
Fortunately, You Tunwei is not only loyal to him, but also powerful enough to fight against Qian Kun!
At the same time, it was inevitable that my heart would be filled with gratitude to Fang Jun.A right guard, half of them followed Fang Jun out of the town of Hexi to defeat Tuyuhun's raid, and then traveled thousands of miles to the Western Regions to fight bloody battles with the big cannibals, half of them stayed in Beijing to defend Xuanwumen for themselves... Whether it is for the empire or not Or for him, Li Chengqian, Fang Jun's actions can be described as benevolent and righteous.

Letting out a breath, Li Chengqian restrained his mind and envied Li Jun: "You Tunwei is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness. He can be regarded as a model in the world. How can he be stingy in rewards? When Zuo Tunwei is defeated, it is better for General Li to join Jiang Xia The king of the county went out of the Xuanwu Gate together, and rewarded and rewarded the orphans."

Li Junxian is the commander-in-chief of the "Hundred Riders", representing the imperial power; Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, is not only a minister of the Ministry of Rites, but also the most famous general in the clan except Li Xiaogong, and a staunch supporter of the Eastern Palace.The comfort and reward from these two people is enough to show Li Chengqian's attention and heart.

Li Junxian nodded and said: "This is the honor of the last general, and I will go to contact the King of Jiangxia to work together later."

Having said that, he paused.

Li Chengqian saw that he hesitated to speak, so he asked: "The general is my father's confidant, and Gu also has a lot of trust. If you have something to say, you may as well speak up."

Li Junxian then said: "How does Your Highness plan to deal with Chang Sun Chong?"

Li Chengqian was silent, thought for a while, and asked, "What advice does the general have?"

Li Junxian said: "Changsun Chong is a minister who conspired against him, and there are still sea arrest documents that have not been revoked. Although His Majesty once said that he could return to Chang'an after committing crimes and meritorious deeds, he did not complete the task. Returning to Chang'an, he urged all the families in Guanlong to carry out a mutiny to bring about chaos and chaos. It is already too much to atone for their sins! If you don't send a message to Changsun Wuji, if he can lead the troops back and eliminate the chaos, then he will release Changsun Chong and return to his family. Otherwise, push it to the Suzaku gate, and show it to the public, so as to scare everyone else!"

Li Chengqian remained silent.

Everyone knows that the elder grandson's family has had a bad time these years, and the sons of the eldest son have died one after another. Prosperity and wealth.

If there is an outstanding son, he can be cultivated slowly, and in the future he will directly enter the center to take charge of power, so why take such a risk?
And Changsun Chong is the most valued son of Changsun Wuji. If he can save his life, Changsun Wuji may not consider eliminating this mutiny.

Otherwise, if he forced Changsun Chong to death with his own hands, it would not only lead to further divisions within the Changsun family, but would even cause the Guanlong families to complain that Changsun Wuji was cold-blooded and ruthless, and then divorced...

But Li Chengqian understood that Li Junxian's intention was not to use Changsun Chong to coerce Changsun Wuji to retreat. Now that the matter has come to this, how can his eldest Sun Wuji retreat if he wants to?It's just that Changsun Chong was publicly sentenced to death by such means, which severely hit the morale of the Guanlong rebels.

After pondering for a long time, Li Chengqian slowly shook his head and sighed softly: "Although Chang Sun Chong is a big treason, he deserves death, and he is even more guilty of his father, but after all, he grew up with the orphan since he was a child, and he used to be a brother and sister. To this day, Gu will definitely not disregard the law of the country for personal reasons and exonerate him, but he can't bear to push him to the top of Suzaku's gate to show the public. Let's keep him, and we will deal with it when the overall situation is settled."

Li Junxian was helpless, this Highness was stubborn and paranoid in the past few years, and he did many ridiculous things. Everyone thought that his heart was violent and not like a king, and he slandered him a lot.However, in the past few years, he has gradually secured the position of the crown prince, but his personality has become gentle and forgiving, as if he was in the opposite direction. I really don't know which one is his original personality, but if he has been like this all the time, he is more suitable to be an emperor. ...

"The last will obey!"

Li Junxian nodded and took the order, seeing that Li Chengqian had no further explanation, he got up and left. Li Chengqian sent two servants to follow.

When they came to the Taiji Hall, Li Daozong, Ma Zhou and others still gathered in the hall, discussing and making decisions based on the news gathered by all parties, but Xiao Yu was a little tired, and went to the side of the Yanming Gate to rest in the Sheren Courtyard.Li Junxian stepped forward and explained Li Chengqian's meaning to Li Daozong carefully.

Li Daozong saw that there were servants from the Eastern Palace following him, so he was naturally not worried about him, but the battle at Xuanwumen was not over yet, so he asked several servants to find Wang De, the chief servant, to withdraw money, cloth and silk from the palace treasury.

Although the rebels who besieged the imperial city continued to attack, the Liu rate of the East Palace had already taken precautions, and the situation was not too bad.One side is heavily besieged and violently attacking, but there is nothing they can do about the fortified imperial city; the other side has more than enough defense, but too few troops to counterattack... The battle situation is so anxious and deadlocked.

Li Daozong sighed softly, took a sip of strong tea to refresh himself, and said in a low voice: "If the Xuanwu Gate is not lost, and the firearms in the foundry are not captured by the rebels to attack the city, then this stalemate is likely to continue. Unless there is a sudden change on both sides."

Although Ma Zhou is a civil servant, he also knows a little bit about military affairs. He nodded and said: "You Tunwei has defeated King Jing, Chai Zhewei and others' disobedience. It depends on whether the Foundry Bureau can stick to it. The situation is completely different, and I am afraid that the Forge Bureau will be difficult to hold on. Once the rebels get a large amount of gunpowder in the Forge Bureau and use it to blow up the city wall, the situation will take a turn for the worse."

The biggest danger before was the Xuanwu Gate, but with You Tunwei showing great power, the biggest danger is now impenetrable, so the most worrying thing is the casting bureau.After all, there is no regular army stationed in the casting bureau, and Xu Jingzong, who rushed to the rescue, has no military skills. Although each of the thousands of students is an outstanding man, they have limited experience after all. It is really unknown whether it will be able to fall under the siege of the army.

And once the large amount of gunpowder and firearms in the warehouse of the Foundry Bureau were seized by the rebels, the imperial city would face a bloody baptism.

If the strong city walls were blown down by gunpowder and the rebels swarmed in, with the strength of the East Palace Liu rate, the battle situation would be reversed in an instant...

Li Daozong said helplessly: "At present, the rebel army is besieging the imperial city. The sixth rate of the East Palace can try its best to keep the gates of the cities intact. .”

The reason for the current dangerous situation is due to the insufficient estimation of the situation before.After successively capturing Chang Sun Chong alive and placing Hou Mo Chen Qianhui under house arrest, he once thought that the Guanlong dragons had no leader, and that this mutiny was bound to run aground and be unsustainable.

Unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji had already sneaked back to Guanzhong and presided over everything in secret.

Now that I think about it, Changsun Chong and Hou Mo Chenqian are likely to be chess pieces thrown by Changsun Wuji to paralyze the East Palace, and after the East Palace was negligent, they suddenly launched a mutiny...

*****
Just when the officials of the Eastern Palace were worried about the safety of the casting bureau, the casting bureau was being besieged by more than ten thousand rebels.

Since dawn, several rebels have come to reinforce and continue to besiege the foundry bureau. The naval guns that were originally capable of killing and deterring the rebels besieging the foundry bureau have also gradually turned off.

General Xin Mao led the academy students to launch the ships in Kunming Pool to bombard the rebels with artillery. At first, the effect was really good, causing great damage to the rebels.However, the battle in the imperial city was gradually at a stalemate, making the rebel generals realize that without external forces joining, it would be as difficult to break through the imperial city with the strength of the rebels alone, so they completely focused on the casting bureau.

As long as the gunpowder in the Foundry Bureau's warehouse is seized and used to blow up the walls of the imperial city, victory is within easy reach, so more troops are sent to besiege.

The ships on the Kunming Chishang were only used for training, and the training had already stopped due to the ice on the water, so there were not many prepared shells.They blasted for two hours in a row, during which time they had to blast the ice on the water surface with thunderbolts, so as to prevent the rebels from attacking the ship after the water surface was frozen, which would consume a lot of ammunition.

Under the violent attack of the rebels regardless of casualties, Xin Mao will realize that something is wrong. If he continues to fight, until the gunpowder and thunder are exhausted, he will be completely defeated.
