The Happy Prince of Tang Dynasty

---------

A sharp shout resounded between heaven and earth.

Immediately, it attracted two parties on the battlefield, and everyone looked at the top of the city in surprise.Everyone was stunned when they saw what happened on the top of the city.

Dou Jiande, who was wearing a dark purple five-clawed green dragon robe, tilted his head to one side, while a tall man was pinching his neck with his right hand.

The next moment, the corner of the man's mouth opened, revealing his white teeth, and he gave a sinister smile, and then he threw Dou Jiande's body off the ten-foot-high Leshou City wall. [

Everyone was killed by him, and he still treats other people's bodies like this, which shows that there is a great hatred between the two.

"Isn't that Yu Wenhuaji?"

Li Shimin couldn't help being taken aback when he saw the man on the city wall.He remembered that the two seemed to be in an alliance, so what was going on?

"Ha ha…"

Yu Wenhua, who killed Dou Jiande, stood on the city wall and laughed wildly, glanced at Li Shimin's direction, jumped up, tapped his feet, and the man disappeared on the city wall.

"That guy killed His Majesty, don't let him go!"

"The archers shoot him down!"

"Come on, avenge His Majesty!"

It took several seconds for the Xia soldiers to react, screaming to avenge Dou Jiande, but at this time Yu Wenhuaji had disappeared.

"The whole army moves closer to the center, pay attention to the enemy's movements, and retreat slowly."

The sudden situation made everyone dumbfounded. After a short period of thinking, Li Shimin decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops.

Some people may think that the other emperor is dead at this time.Isn't that the best time to attack?

Of course, this is true, but it depends on whether the opponent can organize an effective attack.The leader of the enemy is dead, and the leader of the group of dragons is easy to break through without someone leading; if someone waved his arms at this time.Venting the grief caused by Dou Jiande's death on Li Tang would not be worth the candle.

At least Li Shimin felt that Yuchi Jingde could do this, so retreating now was the wisest choice.

"The army assembled immediately and assembled four small troops. Each team had [-] cavalry, [-] shield soldiers, [-] spearmen, and [-] archers. Search from four directions, and we must capture the murderer who killed His Majesty. "

When Yuchi Jingde saw that Li Shimin was withdrawing his troops, he also assembled the army, but did not pursue Li Tang's army.

"The generals of the various armies will enter the city with this general. Discuss with the ministers about the appointment of His Majesty's heir to the throne."

Yuchi Jingde arranged all the armies and hurried towards the city with some important leaders.However, after he entered the city, he found out that Dou Jiande's family had been killed.

Regarding this, all civil and military officials looked at each other in blank dismay. [

"Now, His Majesty was killed and he was enthroned, what do you ministers think?"

A civil servant stepped forward, and he was one of the ministers whom Dou Jiande relied on more during his time.Liu Tiao who was appointed as Xia Guozuo Cheng.

"I don't know what Liu Zuocheng's great opinion is? We all follow Mr. Liu's lead!"

"Extremely, extremely. If Master Liu has any suggestions, tell them quickly."

Everyone urged Liu Tiao to speak out his thoughts.

"Since this is the case, Liu is not talented. Let me talk about my own opinion." Liu adjusted his official uniform, bowed to the top of the empty hall, and then said with a serious face: "Your Majesty passed away, and the heirs left behind .So now there are only two paths for us to choose.”

"I'm all ears!"

"First, to be an emperor, one should have both morality and righteousness. Therefore, whoever feels that he has enough morality and righteousness can lead us, and we are willing to regard him as the master."

The meaning of Liu Tiao's words is to choose one person from the crowd to become the emperor.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned!

"Master Liu's words are so rebellious, he is not a son of man!"

At the moment, there are some pedantic Confucian scholars who are yelling at Liu Tiao, and what's more, they want to roll up their sleeves and fight Liu Tiao.

"My lords, be quiet, and listen to me." Liu Tiao waved his hand to stop everyone, perhaps because of his previous power, everyone also fell silent obediently. "Your Majesty's heirs are left behind, and there are also collateral relatives. Now that Li Tang's army is out, if you don't make a decision earlier, do you think my life can be saved?"

Waiting for everyone to say something in one word, there are not many people present who are willing to give up their lives for Dou Jiande's loyalty, and it is enough to do their duty as a courtier.

Therefore, when it comes to their own safety, people continue to refute.

"Master Liu, what is the second choice?"

Cui Junsu, the waiter, saw that he was a little cold, and immediately stood up and asked Liu Tiao about the other option he had mentioned earlier.

Many civil and military ministers present, of course, did not say that they did not have some ideas, but they did not dare to say it out. If they were besieged, they would not get this position, and even lose their lives because of it, it would be a bit of a loss.

"The second choice is that we choose a faction to join!"

When he said this, Liu Tiao's eyes flashed. The reason why he said two choices was actually only one real purpose. Of course, everyone in the field didn't know what he was thinking.

Yuchi Jingde, who had been silent for a while and stared at the crowd, nodded thoughtfully.

"this…"[

Everyone is a little embarrassed, it is no problem to take refuge in other forces, but what should I do with everything now?Will the force that he has taken refuge in let him continue to stay in his current position, and it does not rule out that the other party will kill the donkey.

Therefore, everyone was silent again.

"My lords, time is running out, and strong enemies are outside. If we don't come up with a decision sooner, and Li Tang breaks through the city wall, then everything we say will be empty talk."

Seeing that the crowd hesitated, Liu Tiao oppressed them psychologically.

"My lords, I have a proposal, I wonder if I can listen to it?"

While speaking in silence, a slightly rough voice, different from that of a literati, sounded.Usually when the civil servants discuss, the generals will consciously remain silent.This voice obviously belonged to the general, and everyone looked in the same direction as the voice.

"It turned out to be General Yuchi. I don't know what advice General Yuchi has, so feel free to tell me."

"General Yuchi is highly talented, I'll be all ears."

However, after seeing the person who spoke.All the ministers flattered and clapped loudly.

Now he controls Xia Guo's 10,000+ army, and it's not easy to deal with them, so no one dares to offend him, even if he looks down on this black-faced bastard in his heart.

"Master Liu said to take refuge in a certain power, so I think this plan is feasible." Yuchi Jingde first expressed his agreement with Liu Tiao's statement, and then went on to say: "Counting down the major powers in the world, I think there is a power that is suitable for us. .”

"Oh, I'll wait to hear General Yuchi's opinion!"

"I don't know who. It deserves the words of General Yuchi."

Yuchi Jingde twitched his beard and smiled lightly, his plain voice resounded like thunder in the hall. "This force is far away in the sky, and it's close at hand!"

All the ministers were taken aback for a moment, and then one of the more responsive ministers whispered, "Could it be Li Tang?"

"Shh!"

All eyes turned to Yuchi Jingde.He wanted to know whether what the minister said was true, and then he got a confirmation from Yuchi Jingde.

"This…"

Some ministers were stunned. Everyone had just fought a battle before, and now they are going to seek refuge with others. No matter how they think about it, they feel weird.

Liu Tiao's eyes on one side also brightened.Eyes full of wisdom swept across Yuchi Jingde's body.If no one was present, he would have rushed forward for a loud kiss.

This proposal really suits his mind too much.

"Your Majesty is a wise lord, but at the instigation of Li Mi, he started a war with Li Tang, and in the end he was killed by the Yuwen family of the same alliance. Fundamentally speaking, we have a deep hatred with Li Tang."

All the ministers who said this remark nodded in agreement.

"Li Tang selects talents regardless of their background, and appoints them on their merits. And when he announces reform policies, everything is based on serving the people. Isn't this the ambition of all the adults?"

Doing things for the people of the world, this is the idea that everyone once had in their hearts, but with the passage of time, some ideas have gradually been assimilated or changed, and now being mentioned by Yuchi Jingde, there is a feeling of awakening !

"Everyone is talented, but are you afraid that you won't be able to keep your status when you get to Li Tang?"

This sentence sounded pleasing to the ear, and some ministers nodded in satisfaction.

"In that case, let's discuss it later and send someone to discuss it with Li Tang."

There are ministers who act vigorously and resolutely, and they will start preparations immediately.

"My lord, wait a moment." Yuchi Jingde called to stop the minister, making the minister stunned, isn't it your opinion?Are you going to regret it now?

"Ministers, please listen to what I have to say."

"General Yuchi, let's talk!"

All the ministers respectfully said that Yuchi Jingde holds Xia's 10,000+ army, and if he joins Li Tang, he will definitely be reused by the other party. Now let's build a good relationship first.

"Although I will rely on Li Tang first, it can't be so simple." Yuchi Jingde stretched out two fingers and said with a serious face: "I will rely on Li Tang, then Li Tang must fulfill two conditions. "

"Oh? I don't know what the conditions are?"

All the adults were curious. Today's Yuchi Jingde seems to be very powerful, clear-headed and well-organized. He doesn't look like a general at all.

"First, Li Tang wants to avenge His Majesty, and remove Yu Huaji who killed His Majesty and His family's family. Only then can we truly take refuge in Li Tang; if the other party disagrees, or deliberately delays, then we can leave on our own. go."

This is what the ministers said. After a long time, maybe not many people remember Dou Jiande.

"Second, Li Tang wants to bury His Majesty with royal rites!"

"Uh…"

Hearing this sentence, the ministers were once again stunned.Is this condition too high?Now that you are relying on others, will they give you a king title casually?

"General Yuchi, isn't this condition a bit difficult? Why don't you change it?"

"No, there are only two conditions. If Li Tang agrees, then we will seek refuge. If not, we will choose someone else."

Yuchi Jingde said with a firm face.

Seeing this, the ministers had no choice but to agree. As for whether Li Tang would agree, they didn't have much confidence.However, Yuchi Jingde is the one who controls the military power, and everyone can only obey. (..)
