Great Tang princess

Chapter 793
Although the edict of enthronement made all the civil and military officials in the court look confused, but things have come to this point, so just follow along and salute.

After the entire court meeting was completed, many people were still in a dazed state.

But no matter what, now that the emperor is about to abdicate, the most urgent thing is to find a way to establish a good relationship with the new emperor first.

It was also announced in the court that Qin Tianjian was asked to find an auspicious day to hold the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor.

The Qin Tianjian side is quite good, saying that April 26 is an auspicious day, and he can be enthroned.

Hearing this news, the ministers also reacted. It was obvious that they planned to make this matter an established fact before Princess Taiping came back.

After all, she still has a lot of troops under her command. If she finds out that her brother has been forced into the palace after she returns, she doesn't know what she will do.

But if the new emperor ascends the throne before she comes back, then she won't be able to do any more unnecessary things.

Most of the courtiers still expressed their support for this idea. After all, there was just a coup d'état, so don't do it again.

……

During the coup d'état here, Li Chongrun on the other side also got a lot of information from Sun Wanrong in the past few days, and began preparations for the next war.

Since Sun Wanrong surrendered, he also understood the various benefits of surrender, so he almost knew everything.

Of course, Li Chongrun was not stupid enough to believe him completely, and he would make many comparisons with the information he described.

At the same time, Sun Wanrong has not yet been fully accepted. He is still a prisoner of war, so he can only live in the prisoner-of-war camp every day.

But I have to say that even if it is a prisoner of war camp, the living environment is not bad at all.

Although there are a lot of rules, it is so complicated that there are clear and specific requirements including the placement of the washbasin.

But I have to say that even so, these prisoners of war also experienced a life that they had never experienced in this life.

Although I have to do a lot of work every day, I will not be abused, and I can eat enough and sleep well.Although they lost their freedom, their living standards improved a lot.

This kind of life is not bad, and it would be great if it can continue like this.

As for Sun Wanrong, when he wakes up every morning, after having breakfast, the first thing he does is to go to Li Chongrun's office, answer his questions, and explain them obediently.

Wearing a brown wool coat, he entered the office after announcing the soldiers at the door.

As soon as I came in, I found that Princess Taiping was here today.

So he hurriedly saluted respectfully: "I have seen Her Royal Highness!"

"Well, no gift!"

Li Yuechen who was sitting next to him smiled slightly: "Actually, I still appreciate your rebellious appearance before."

"Your Highness was joking..." Sun Wanrong smiled a little embarrassedly, and couldn't help but blush when he thought of his performance a few days ago.

This is also normal, after all, a few days ago, he still had the attitude of "Khitan people will never be slaves", but when he saw that people provided food and shelter, he immediately gave in.

However, through these few days of contact, Sun Wanrong also discovered that this princess is different from the legend.

Because Princess Taiping once had a record of tearing people alive on the grassland, so here, her legends are all relatively cruel images.

However, after actually dealing with her, Sun Wanrong found that she was actually quite easy-going.

He has no airs or temper, and seems to be able to chat with anyone.

Many times when I talk to her, I even subconsciously forget her identity as a princess, and treat her as a good brother I have been with for many years.

Seeing his appearance, Li Chongrun subconsciously wanted to laugh.

But in the end, he still didn't laugh out loud. After all, he was going to be recruited as a subordinate, so he should act like a majestic boss.

Li Chongrun knew very well that he couldn't treat the people below as easy-goingly as his aunt, because he didn't have that strength.

The aunt is very easy-going. Apart from her own personality, the most important thing is that no one dares to slap her face in front of her.

After all, she is a living legend, but she is different, so naturally she cannot adopt the same method as her.

"Okay, I called you here today because Li Jinzhong has been dormant for the past few days, do you know why?"

Sun Wanrong thought for a while: "He has always been cautious. It must be because I failed, so he didn't dare to take the initiative to fight..."

Although he was reckless, fortunately he knew his brother-in-law quite well.

Li Chongrun thought for a while: "So, he intends to let me wait to take the initiative?"

"I think so, that's right." Sun Wanrong nodded.

"Um……"

Hearing this answer, Li Chongrun thought about it carefully: "Do you know Li Jinzhong's daily life pattern?"

"Know!"

"Okay, come here! Let him describe it in detail and draw a map!" Li Chongrun directly gave the order.

It seems that this is planning to carry out a beheading operation?Li Yuechen on the side couldn't help but think.

It's not bad to think about it, after all, Li Jinzhong still has tens of thousands of Khitan troops in his hands.

If you fight head-on, although you are not afraid, it is not necessary. If possible, Li Chongrun also wants to reduce casualties as much as possible.

The beheading operation is different, and the greatest reward can be obtained at the smallest cost.

Of course, the premise is that there must be sufficient information as a support, otherwise it will be given away for nothing.

Li Yuechen thought about it carefully, beheading is also a good choice at this time, and he can't think of any omissions for the time being, so let him do it himself.

……

Another three days passed in a blink of an eye. During this time, Li Chongrun chatted with Sun Wanrong about various details every day, and at the same time let the scouts and the spies who had been placed inside the enemy camp pass on the news.

After comparing multiple sources of information, the map inside the Dongyi Protectorate's Mansion gradually became clearer.

And on the third day, as a hang glider landed, Li Yuechen also received news from the palace.

Li Xian's coup was successful, and the enthronement ceremony was held at the end of April.

After receiving the news, Li Yuechen also breathed a sigh of relief, it can be regarded as a deal.

So he also showed the sent letter to Li Chongrun for a look.

In the office, Li Chongrun was holding a teacup, looking at the letter in front of him with a complicated expression.

After carefully looking at it several times, I took out a lighter and lit it to ashes.

Then he couldn't help asking: "Auntie, did you do something wrong?"

"It's the last time. I hope so!" Li Yuechen nodded slightly.

I hope this is the last coup d'état of the royal family, and I also hope that the future royal family can get back on track and this kind of thing will not happen again.

"Okay, it's not long before the enthronement ceremony, you take it here as soon as possible, and try to catch up with me when I go back." Li Yuechen smiled.

Li Chongrun smiled: "Auntie is not suitable to congratulate Grandpa, is she?"

"Ah, it must be a little acting, let's just quarrel." Li Yuechen also smiled.

……

The intelligence has been clarified, so the next war is actually surprisingly simple.

A few days later, Li Chongrun directly ordered the beheading operation. At the same time, the army followed and went straight to the Dongyi Governor's Mansion.

On the night of April 21st, [-] scouts sneaked into the Dongyi Protectorate without anyone noticing, and directly captured Li Jinzhong and all the high-level officials in a daze.

After getting the news, Li Chongrun launched the attack at dawn.

The artillery directly opened the way, and after washing the ground, the infantry and cavalry advanced in unison, and entered the Dongyi Capital Protectorate without hindrance.

Originally, the enemy army was resting, and it was the time when they were most likely to get sleepy at dawn.

When the artillery came in, he was already confused, and it took a long time before he realized that he wanted to escape.

Although there were quite a few people who wanted to find the commander, all the high-level officials had been arrested, and the soldiers were naturally in a mess without a leader.

In this situation, coupled with the artillery washing the ground, a large number of Khitan soldiers were sent directly to the Hall of Hades to report before they realized what had happened.

There was a mess in the barracks very quickly. At this time, the well-trained cavalry rushed in, and the Khitan soldiers who were already in a mess were directly torn into scattered small groups, unable to gather together at all. .

In addition, the horses on the prairie were not used to the sound of artillery and grenade explosions, and were immediately frightened and ran around. Many Khitan soldiers were trampled into meat before they could get on their horses.

The horses of Li Chongrun's cavalry often participated in grenade and artillery training on weekdays, and they were used to the sound, and they were not out of control at all.

With so many favorable conditions, even if there is a huge gap in the number of people between the two sides, it is enough to smooth it out.

When the last infantryman with the big shield entered the arena with neat steps, the soldiers on the opposite side threw down their weapons and surrendered without shouting.

Occasionally, a few frightened insanity, took up weapons and came to try their best, but they were directly penetrated by the spears pierced from between the shields.

One side has no leader, and the other side is orderly, so it goes without saying which one has a better chance of winning.

After only half an hour or so, the fighting completely subsided.

It was almost dawn at this time, and Sun Wanrong came out from behind, bypassed the neat infantry phalanx, and came to the front.

The first thing I saw was the corpses all over the floor, most of them were incomplete, piece by piece, and some were even mushy.

This is caused by the frightened war horses running around. Human flesh and blood cannot remain intact under thousands of war horses running wildly.

And those who were still able to move were carried to the temporary tent next to them, and someone checked them.

Medics with red crosses on their arms carefully inspected every enemy soldier.

Those who were slightly injured should be brought to the side for treatment by the people behind them, and those who were seriously injured should wave their hands to let the soldiers behind them give him a good time.

This is also something that can't be helped. Now there are no extra resources to treat those seriously injured soldiers.

But what Sun Wanrong saw was a terrifying discipline that he had never imagined before.

Every soldier knows what to do, and that's what makes this unit really scary.

In the temporary office, a few gangsters were also brought in.

The leader was Li Jinzhong, and next to him was a group of other counselors and subordinates, all of whom were leaders of various Khitan tribes.

Before Li Chongrun could ask questions, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the door.

Looking up, I saw Sun Wanrong walking in.

The first sentence after entering the door was: "My lord, my sister..."

"Don't worry, the person has been brought back, nothing happened!" Li Chongrun smiled.

Hearing this sentence, he finally let go of his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sun Wanrong! You bastard who eats inside out!"

Seeing this scene, of course the people present have already realized that he must have betrayed.

One of them immediately cursed: "It's useless for me to worry about you, I didn't expect you to betray..."

Sun Wanrong just glanced at him and didn't refute anything.

He also knew in his heart that he had indeed betrayed, and no matter how he explained it, it would be useless, so he simply didn't explain it.

He turned his head and said, "My lord, I want to visit my sister first..."

Li Chongrun nodded, raised his hand slightly, and signaled him to be casual.

After he left, he said to Li Jinzhong and the others: "Now that you are defeated in the battle, I don't bother to talk nonsense. It is best to explain all problems obediently, and wait to be dealt with when you return to God."

"Presumably you are aware that even sitting has been abolished now. If wives, concubines and children do not participate in this matter, they can be exempted from guilt. So I hope you can cooperate obediently and don't ask for trouble..."

Li Chongrun's words directly blocked the mouths of those who wanted to curse.

After all, the matter has come to this point, they no longer have any capital to negotiate, the only thing they can do is to cooperate well, try not to let their children go to the execution ground, and continue a bloodline for themselves.

After listening to his words, Li Jinzhong sighed helplessly, and then said softly: "Don't worry, my lord, we will know everything!"

……

Now that they cooperate, things are much simpler.

Li Yuechen didn't even listen in, but was thinking about things after going back.

First of all, Li Chongrun's performance this time is worthy of recognition. He no longer needs to stay here and can be promoted.

After all, his father is the emperor now, and there will definitely be many people around him in the future. It's time to go back and exercise.

In addition, he is only now, and it is still a critical period of growth, and he is still by his side. It would be better to have him teach him.

In addition, on the old brother's side, he himself does not have the two brushes of his father, and he needs to be by his side to take care of many things.

So it's better to go back early, otherwise I'm afraid my brother won't be able to restrain those old foxes in the court.

That night, Li Yuechen came to the office and chatted with his nephew.

"Auntie wants me to go back?"

"What? How long do you plan to stay here?" Li Yuechen asked with a smile.

Li Chongrun thought for a while: "It doesn't matter if you stay all the time, it's fine in the barracks."

Speaking of this, he immediately added: "But my nephew understands that my royal family has its own responsibilities. Auntie can rest assured that after the affairs here are arranged, my nephew will go back."

"Yeah!" Li Yuechen nodded in satisfaction, "This time, everything has been done well!"

"It's as good as not embarrassing my aunt." Li Chongrun replied with a smile.

Li Yuechen took the airship back that night, and now that the matter here is over, he can handle the rest by himself, and he can't wait to go back to see his mother.
