Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4374

The Xuanwu Gate, which used to be an important place for the Taiji Palace, is now full of banners and flags, with the sound of war drums. Teams of guards from the right guard enter the city gate arrogantly, and after a short formation, they trot into the Taiji Palace. Fighting against the intercepted rebels, they slowly advanced towards the defense line of Wude Hall.

The sound of muskets one after another was like fried beans, and the battle was very fierce.

Because it is the commanding height of the entire Chang'an city, standing on the tower of Xuanwu Gate and looking south with the arrow stacks in hand, you can have a panoramic view of the entire inner garden, the gardens, trees, lakes and water promenades, which are beautiful under the reflection of the setting sun. The glazed tiles on the roof ridges of countless temples in the distance reflect the light and are resplendent.

Fang Jun turned around and returned to the city tower, and ordered people to unfold a map of the Taiji Palace to examine it minute by inch, and marked the rebels' arrangements in various places one by one according to the scout's report on the battle situation.

The battle situation in the entire Tai Chi Palace is clear at a glance...

When Yin Yuan was brought in by his own soldiers, he saw such a scene, but he didn't say much, he stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "The last general, Yin Yuan, plead guilty to Duke Yue!"

Not to mention that Fang Jun's status today is enough to bear such a big gift, but the Yin family in Liquan was forced to cross the Wei River to attack Youtunwei this time because of the Guanlongmen Clan, so they had to put down their figure completely. Bow down in front of the most famous person around.

Whether the emperor can accept the surrender of the Yin family in Liquan, and whether he can forgive the previous betrayal depends on Fang Jun's words...

Fang Jun put down the map, rubbed his eyes and turned around, took a step forward, put his hands on his shoulders and pulled Yin Yuan up, patted his shoulders with his palms, and said with a smile: "You and I are old friends, why are you so generous? Yes. It must be a very headache this time, right? Come, have a cup of tea to quench your thirst and calm your shock."

He dragged Yin Yuan to a table beside him, pressed his shoulders to let him sit down, and asked his soldiers to pour tea.

Seeing that Fang Jun was not angry at the attack by the right guard, but instead took the initiative to mention the past friendship, Yin Yuan felt a little embarrassed, took a sip from the teacup, and explained with a guilty face: "This time, it is not the Yin family from Liquan who sent troops. The original intention was that the Guanlong clan was deceiving people too much, and Dou Xi even went out in person to force them with the names of the Yin family in Liquan, so it had no choice but to do so."

Fang Jun nodded, and said: "It's understandable, who can not take the life of the whole family at heart? The Guanlong clan is extremely vicious, knowing that it will be liquidated by His Majesty, instead of introspecting and apologizing, it will intensify and lose all conscience. Let's kill them together!"

Yin Yuan was very moved: "Mr. Yue Guo is reasonable and reasonable. Please share one or two things for the Liquan Yin family in front of His Majesty. There will be rich rewards in the future."

With that said, he got up again and gave a big gift.

This time Fang Jun sat still and accepted it calmly. After Yin Yuan knelt down on one knee, he raised his hand to support him, and said in a deep voice, "You and I are old friends, so I can't bear to see you go astray. He will be punished by the law. But this time, you have sent troops across the Wei River to attack, and everyone can see it, so it is impossible not to give an explanation."

Yin Yuan hurriedly said: "Before we left, my uncle and his son told me to obey the Duke of Yue's order in everything, but if there is an order, I dare not disobey it."

Although the uncle didn't say it clearly, he could understand what he meant. The half sentence he didn't say was probably "I can do anything for atonement. Please order me to kill all the families of the Guanlongmen Clan." ...

After all, Yin Qinzhou didn't dare to do this kind of thing by himself, but it would be completely different if he had Fang Jun's order.

In Yin Yuan's mind, the biggest threat to the imperial power now is the Guanlongmen faction who is stirring up trouble everywhere. Although the right guard was defeated this time, who can guarantee that the Guanlongmen faction will not use various means to encourage the rest of the army to rebel?

From Fang Jun's standpoint, it would be great if someone cleaned up the Guanlong clan from top to bottom for him...

However, Fang Jun didn't seem to realize this at all, and nodded his head with emotion: "The nobles of the Guanlongmen Clan are really full of evil, treacherous and cunning. Back then, the late emperor regarded them like a humerus, and they trusted them so much that they poured their power over the government and overwhelmed the sky with one hand. Not only do they control the finances and become corrupt, but they also try to sway the candidate for the crown prince and shake the foundation of the country. A hundred deaths are not enough to forgive their crimes. This time, the Yin family in Liquan was coerced by him and had to go on the road of betraying His Majesty. The road is even more heinous. But rest assured, my brother, I will explain this matter to His Majesty, and I will also intercede with the Yin family in Liquan. Now that the rebels are rampant and they are still storming the Wude Hall, if the Guanlong Clan once again incites the rest of the army Come to attack, I am at a loss for resources, I hope you will go back and tell Uncle Chen Bing the north bank of the Weishui, and help me guard the front line of the Weishui, it will be a great achievement."

Borrowing a knife to kill someone?Think beautifully.

"Uh... that's all right?"

Yin Yuan was a little disappointed.

How can you handle it so lightly?In order to submit to His Majesty, my uncle took Dou Xi down on the spot and escorted him here, which means that the Yin family in Liquan and the Guanlong clan are already immortal, either you die or I die.

In the event that the Guanlongmen Clan revived in the future, the unlucky ones must be the Liquan Yin family.

Don't think it's impossible. In the final analysis, the entire power structure has been attached to the Guanlongmen Clan since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. To put it bluntly, the Guanlongmen Clan is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. It can be done in one day.

For example, it is easy to clean up those officials in purple clothes from Guanlong in the court hall, but what about the thousands of low-level officials in the entire Guanzhong?Do you want to arrest and depose all of them, and then let officials from Shandong and Jiangnan move into Guanzhong to supplement them?
There must be a gradual process.

But if the Guanlongmen clan cannot be uprooted, the Liquan Yin family might not be able to support the day when the emperor completely deposes the Guanlongmen clan...

But it’s not okay to let the Liquan Yin family directly fight against the Guanlongmen Clan. Let’s not say if they can’t beat them. The crime of "slaughtering meritorious deeds" has firmly taken the blame for His Majesty.

The best situation is naturally to be ordered by His Majesty or Fang Jun to wipe out those thieves who committed treason and to cut off their worries, and His Majesty or Fang Jun will be responsible for the consequences. After all, both of them can afford it. started.

But Fang Jun doesn't seem to plan to do that now...

Fang Jun raised his eyebrows: "Is this very simple? If you think it's easy, you can tell Uncle Ling to lead the army across the Wei River to the south of Chang'an City. Now the [-] rebels under King Jin are attacking Mingdemen. If Uncle Ling If it can be wiped out, then it is not only a meritorious deed, but also a great merit."

Yin Yuan hurriedly said: "This won't work, the right guard has suffered heavy losses, and it is difficult to take on the heavy responsibility of attacking the rebels head-on. The whole army is not afraid of death, but if your majesty's important affairs are ruined due to your own ability, you will be blamed for death." ah!"

Are you kidding me? There are nearly 20 troops fighting in the south of the city. The defeated generals of the right guards are afraid that they will be annihilated in an instant. They say they are going to fight the king of Jin, but they may be killed by someone. Do not know at all……

Fang Jun smiled, with a meaningful smile, and said calmly: "So, go to the north bank of the Weishui River and stay safe, and don't use those crooked brains."

Yin Yuan felt a little ashamed when his thought was broken, and he didn't dare to say more, so he quickly nodded in response: "It's still uncle's words, but there are orders, so don't dare to disobey!"

"Okay, I already understand the meaning of the Yin family in Liquan, and I will tell His Majesty about it. Go back and help your uncle gather up the defeated army and reorganize the army... Wait for a while, there is still one thing to finish before going back."

Fang Jun shouted to the outside: "Take Dou Xi to verify his integrity, take him to the Xuanwu Gate, and read the crimes and show him to the public!"

"what?"

Yin Yuan was taken aback, he escorted Dou Xi here, after he left, it was Fang Jun's business to deal with him no matter what, but if he didn't leave now, wouldn't he have drawn all the hatred of the Guanlongmen Clan on him?

Although the Yin family in Liquan had been fighting with the Guanlong clan, but Dou Xi was an authentic relative of the emperor. Who would dare to guarantee what the emperor and the clan would think?
This Fang Er is too wicked...

Fang Jun looked over with a smile that was not a smile: "Why, brother, you don't want to watch the punishment?"

Yin Yuan hurriedly said: "What do you say, what should I do!"

So far, what else is there to say?Now that you have taken this road, you can go all the way to the dark.

Escorted by soldiers, Dou Xi came outside the Xuanwu Gate. This one of the few surviving clan elders of the Daibei Dou Clan did not look as graceful and dignified as before. After Sima in the army counted his crimes, he raised his knife and dropped his head, rolling off his head.

Yin Yuan watched the entire sentence, sighed helplessly, bid farewell to Fang Jun, and rode back the same way...

……

The battle of Tai Chi Palace has come to the decisive moment.

Li Daozong divided his troops into two groups, one led by Yuwenshi and continued to storm Wude Hall, and the other led his troops from Ganlu Hall to Nanping. Because the guards in the palace gathered in Wude Hall and the defenses of all the palaces were empty, so The momentum was like a broken bamboo, and they successively captured Liangyi Hall and Taiji Hall, and reached the Chengtian Gate, only then did they encounter tenacious resistance from the city defenders.

The defenders are condescending and occupying a superior location, and they are all troops directly affiliated with Li Chengqian, so they are determined to fight to the death. As a result, Li Daozong was unable to attack fiercely, and was blocked here for a while, making it difficult to make an inch.

The city gates of Chengtian, Guangyun, and Yong'an were all firmly controlled by the defenders, and news could not come in or out. Li Daozong stormed Chengtianmen in the Taiji Palace, but he didn't know what was going on outside the palace, let alone how the Jin King in the south of the city would act now. Wang failed to give up the main force of the army and enter Mingde Gate to attack Chengtian Gate with great courage as expected, so the significance of dividing his troops to attack Chengtian Gate was greatly reduced.

After all, there is still a fierce tiger like Li Jing dormant outside Chunming Gate, and he can send troops from Chunming Gate to Chengtian Gate at any time to defeat him...

But the matter has come to this point, how can I go back on my word?He could only personally supervise the formation and storm Chengtianmen.

However, the defenders of Chengtianmen were extremely tenacious, and they stood firm as a rock in the face of Li Daozong's onslaught, even though the city was full of corpses, they remained unmoved.

Li Daozong was quite uncomfortable, should he continue to attack fiercely, or retreat and attack Wude Hall again?
