Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4404
After all, Cheng Yaojin has a "previous record". Since he was able to sway left and right before, who knows if he will backstab again at a critical moment?
Li Ji's comment of "being loyal to the country" is not bad at all. If foreign renters invade, Cheng Yaojin will not hesitate even if he is shrouded in horse leather, but now that His Majesty Li Er is gone, neither Li Chengqian nor Li Zhi has made Cheng Yaojin With Jin's prestige and ability to swear allegiance to the death, how can one expect Cheng Yaojin to follow him wholeheartedly?

Li Chengqian pondered and remained silent. When Li Xiaogong sent the message back, he believed that Cheng Yaojin must stand firm this time, but now that Li Ji and Fang Jun successively questioned Cheng Yaojin's "ethics", he also began to hesitate.

After thinking for a moment, Li Chengqian nodded and said: "In this case, then I will work hard for the Duke of Yue. The defense of the Wude Hall and my life and death are all entrusted to the hands of Ai Qing."

Fang Jun got up quickly, and knelt down on one knee: "This humble official is also responsible for his duties, and he should live up to the king even if he is so heartbroken!"

Li Chengqian said again: "Tell all the soldiers that I am not a benevolent person. Those who can still defend the country in the face of desperation are all loyal and righteous men of the Tang Dynasty. I will not hesitate to bring them to wipe out the rebels and stabilize the country. reward!"

"It is the bounden duty of a soldier to protect the king and protect the country. We honor His Majesty's order to cut off traitors and exterminate the rebels!"

Fang Jun's voice is like a bell, and his words are generous and heroic.

Li Ji on the side stroked his beard, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. The so-called emperor and courtier, after this mutiny, if the emperor can secure the throne, then the title of "No.1 in the army" must be Fang Jun, whether it is Neither Li Ji nor Li Jing can shake his unparalleled prestige.

Of course, not only did Li Ji not feel any jealousy at all, but he was very pleased, and he looked forward to the future.

He is not a person who is keen on power, fame and fortune, otherwise he would not be afraid of his status as the "No. And cause dissatisfaction in the heart.

Talents come out of Jiangshan, the waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead, Fang Jun has real skills...

What's more, Fang Jun's foresight and creativity over the years have brought great changes to the army, as well as the emperor's irreplaceable trust in him, and the Tang army will surely be able to make great strides forward on the road he envisioned.

Today, the equipment and strategies of the Tang army have far surpassed those of the surrounding countries. If Fang Jun is allowed to hold military power for 20 years, what kind of existence will the Tang army be arrogant and rampant in the world?

As long as Tubo is wiped out, it is foreseeable that in the next hundred years, there will be no more powerful border troubles around the Tang Dynasty...

Perhaps, it will usher in a century of prosperity unprecedented in Chinese history.

Not only did the heavy rain not stop, but the intensity of the rain intensified. The upstream flood flooded into the Weishui River, causing the water level to skyrocket. The Jingzhao government simply prevented the people from dredging the river and strengthening the embankment, so that there is no worry about the river flooding the embankment.

Yu Wenshi came out from Mei County and crossed the Weishui River. The boats and boats bumped and swayed on the river, and finally reached the other side.

Although his body was almost exhausted, the hope brought about by Li Huaiqin's rebellion suddenly increased, which made him extremely excited. His aging body seemed to regenerate a little energy, and his spirit was extremely vigorous.

After landing, Yuwen Shiji did not stop, but put on a horse in a coir raincoat, and galloped towards Yong County along the north bank of the Weishui River against the wind and rain.Li Huaiqin has already organized the army to set off for Chang'an, breaking the silence of all the troops in Guanzhong. Once this silence is broken, it will trigger an extremely violent chain reaction, and the entire Guanzhong will set off a mighty force!

When he arrived in Yong County, he passed the barracks outside the city gate but did not enter. He went straight into the city and arrived at a mansion with a large courtyard. Quickly walk inward.

When Yuwen Shi arrived at the main hall, which was five rooms wide, he saw more than a dozen powerful figures from the Guanlongmen Clan and Liu Keman, the patriarch of the house, standing in front of the gate and waiting in front of the building.

Seeing Yuwen Shiji coming, more than a dozen people bowed to the ground together: "I have seen Duke Ying."

Yuwen Shiji stood still and bowed in return: "All the sages are here to welcome you, I am ashamed to be old."

Liu Keman was full of emotion and looked sincere: "Mr. Ying is the leader of our Guanlong family. He dragged his old body around and tried his best for the family business of Guanlong and the future of his children. How can we and the other families in Guanlong do our best?" Don't you feel admiration and gratitude? No matter how great the etiquette is, you can afford it."

Linghu Defen, who hadn't appeared in front of people for a long time, was a little impatient, and his voice was old and hoarse: "This is not a place for talking, so please come in and sit down and talk."

Liu Keman hurriedly said: "This is the rectification, Duke Ying, please!"

Leaning sideways to get out of the middle, leaning slightly, swaying with his left hand, Yuwen Shiji nodded slightly, walked into the main hall without hesitation, changed shoes at the door, and stepped on the floor of the burned ground dragon.

After being humbled by everyone, he sat in the main seat, and looked at the posture of being surrounded by stars like stars and moons, and an indescribable sense of pride suddenly rose in his heart: the status of "Guanlong leader" that he has tirelessly pursued , it was not recognized by the Guanlong families until this moment, but it was just a desperate situation like an abyss...

Taking a deep breath, Yuwen Shiji looked at Liu Keman: "The old man just came from Mei County. Nanyang Hui Wang Li Huaiqin has sent troops eastward to Chang'an. Nephew, you should also prepare troops to join us immediately. As long as you two When the troops arrive at the city of Chang'an, the whole Guanzhong will be excited, and if we gather the strength of Guanzhong, we will be able to turn the world around and calm the world!"

Liu Keman's father, Li Shili, was the Duke of Xiangwu in the Tang Dynasty, the general of Youwuwei, and the governor of Qizhou. In the ninth year of Wude, when His Majesty Li Er launched the "Xuanwu Gate Change", the ten generals who followed him to charge into battle One of them died two years ago, and his posthumous title was "Su".

In the early years of Zhenguan, Liu Shili served as the governor of Qizhou, assembled troops and horses to prepare for the battle against Tuyuhun, and recruited Tuoba Chici to surrender.At that time, the Pochou clan of Hexi Dangxiang often invaded the border and prevented other tribes from coming closer to the imperial court. Liu Shili led an army to attack, but before the army arrived, the Pochou clan fled in fear.They also fought against Tuyuhun in Xiaomomenchuan, defeated the Tuyuhun cavalry, forced them to retreat to the south of Qinghai Lake, and did not dare to harass the territory of the Tang Dynasty without authorization.

As a result, Liu Shili took root in Qizhou and began to have close contacts with Guan Long... But in the end, Liu Shili was from Shangqiu Yucheng, not Guan Long.

When Yuwen Shi came out of Chang'an City, he arranged for people to deliver letters to various families in Guanlong, asking these people to gather in Yongxian County and persuade Liu Keman to send troops. At first, there was little hope, but now Li Huaiqin thinks that the clan king will take the lead. Liu Keman has no scruples, and he must be willing to fight...

Liu Keman showed embarrassment, wondering: "My family has been honored by the emperor, and it has become rich and prosperous. I am willing to wrap Li Tangzhi's body in horse leather and spare no effort, even though I will kill him with a knife and axe! But now Emperor Taizong has passed away. What difference does it make to us ministers which son comes to sit? As long as it is the blood of Emperor Taizong. As a minister, it is not appropriate for us to rashly participate in the battle for the throne."

The rest of the people were about to speak, but Yu Wenshi waved his hands to stop them, looked at Liu Keman, and said bluntly: "After this battle, no matter the winner or loser, each family in Guanlong will collect enough for ten thousand mu of fertile land in Guanzhong and one hundred thousand guanb of money and silk. First, to compensate you for the loss of the county, the reward of His Royal Highness King Jin is not included, how about it?"

It's all just excuses, if you really don't have the intention to raise an army, how can you allow so many Guanlongmen faction people to conspire and discuss in their mansion?

It's nothing more than benefits. The Guanlong Clan is at a critical moment of life and death, and if they can give up anything outside of their body, then they will raise enough chips at once to make it difficult to refuse.

Sure enough, when these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Throughout the ages, Guanzhong has been a "Land of Abundance" from generation to generation, and the population has continued to increase, and the fields have gradually become barren. It is precisely because the output of the fields has become less and less that they can no longer feed so many people in Guanzhong, so the water transport was opened without hesitation. Supplying Guanzhong with the whole world, what's more, there has been a proposal to move the capital to Luoyang since the former Sui Dynasty...

There are fewer and fewer fertile fields in Guanzhong. Even though the Guanlongmen faction occupies almost [-]% of the land in Guanzhong, it still feels heartache to take out [-] mu of fertile land all at once.

In comparison, one hundred thousand guanqian is not bad...

Liu Keman himself was also shocked. He really wanted some benefits to balance the risks, but he didn't expect Yuwen Shiji to say such a number when he opened his mouth. Then he should be stretched again, maybe some can be stretched out, but he immediately suppressed this thought.

From the time of his father Liu Shili until now, the interests of the Liu family and Guan Long were inseparable. If Guan Long fell, the Liu family would definitely have a hard time. Therefore, Yuwen Shiji not only used benefits to win him over, but also threatened him.

Either everyone prospers, or everyone loses.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Keman said with emotion: "Since the Liu family entered the Guanzhong, they have received countless cares from you sages. Although a certain person is not talented, he is definitely not an ungrateful person. A mere amount of money can indeed make up for the loss of the family. , but even without the money, how can someone stand by and stay out of the matter? Of course, there is no evidence for what we say, we should still prove it with words..."

This turning point almost gave everyone a flash, thinking that Liu Keman's shameless demeanor is not the same as his father's back then...

Linghu Defen is now completely immersed in the life achievements of writing books and talking about it, and he is extremely impatient with these power struggles. Hearing the words, he immediately asked someone to offer a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a contract on the spot, and everyone present signed it Draw a note, then lost the brush, got up and left: "The manuscript at home is placed on the desk, lest it will be soaked by rain. Since this matter is over, I will go home and deal with it. You can handle the rest."

After saying that, he went to the door, put on his shoes, put on a coir raincoat when he went out, and walked away.

All the people in the hall looked at each other...

Is it so free and easy?
