The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 920: Tianjie tramples all the bones of the prince

Hou Junji fanned the flames, fearing that the world would be defeated: "The Right Wise King said that he knew that these things were in the hands of the noble families in the Central Plains. If you are not willing to pay, he will personally lead a million Turkic cavalry to attack the Central Plains and confiscate the property and exterminate all the royal families and noble families who exploited the people."

"Then he would plunder all the property and distribute the land to the common people. Maybe he could gain the support of the people in the Central Plains and secure his throne."

"Hiss" Everyone gasped when they heard such remarks. Sure enough, the people who attack their own people the most are still their own people!
Everyone cursed the Right Wise King in their hearts for being unworthy of being a human being.

But from Hou Junji's words, it is still obvious that this Right Wise King who has fallen into the grassland has no good feelings towards the aristocratic families.

Seeing the fear in everyone's eyes, Hou Junji added fuel to the fire, saying, "The Right Sage King wrote a poem in his spare time to vent his anger at being frustrated in the Central Plains and forced to drift to other places without being able to return to his ancestral home."

"This poem is very long. As a warrior, I can't remember it very clearly. I only remember a few sentences that left a deep impression on me. I think sharing it with my colleagues will help them understand this Right Wise King better."

Everyone's eyes lit up. This Right Wise King has always been very mysterious. It is said that poetry expresses one's aspirations. Perhaps through some poems, we can understand what kind of person this Right Wise King is.

So, in the expectation of everyone, Hou Junji recited aloud:
". The southern neighbor walked in, the northern neighbor hid, the eastern neighbor walked out, the western neighbor avoided; the northern neighbor's wives all gathered together, and the outside was raging like wild animals. The world was shaking, and the thunder of thousands of horses surged from the ground; fire burst into Venus in the sky, and the twelve official streets were smoked. The sun set in the west, the cold light was white, and the God was speechless and empty; the dark clouds were like a siege, and the eunuchs were like blood-red meteors. The purple air followed the emperor's throne and moved, and the evil light shot the stars in the sky; blood was flowing in every house like a spring, and crying was shaking the earth everywhere. The dancers and singing girls were all secretly donated, and the babies and young girls were all abandoned. ; From all sides, there are many disasters, one bucket of gold is one bucket of millet. The kitchen still allows people to eat wood bark, and the rebel army cuts human flesh on the plane; the southeast has no food supply, and the gullies are gradually flattened and the people are dwindling. Outside the gates of the six armies, there are zombies, and in the seven camps, there are starving people; where is Chang'an now? The abandoned market and the deserted streets are covered with wheat seedlings. The woodcutters have chopped down all the flowers in the apricot garden, and the willows left in the ditches for repairing the camp have been destroyed; the luxurious houses and embroidered wheels have all been destroyed, and there is not even half of the mansion. Foxes and rabbits are running on the Taiji Palace, and thorns are everywhere in front of the Qiyun Palace; the inner storehouse has been burned to ashes, and the bones of the nobles have been trampled on the streets! "

Originally, everyone was more or less suspicious whether Hou Junji's words were exaggerated, and even Fang Xuanling secretly applauded Hou Junji's assist.

But when the title of this poem, which was taken from "The Song of a Qin Woman" and described the miserable scene of the Tang Dynasty after the Huang Xie Rebellion, echoed in the sky above the Liangyi Hall, the tragic scene of the end of the dynasty completely shocked everyone in the hall, and the entire noisy hall became as quiet as a ghost.

Everyone was silent, their eyes became extremely solemn.

Especially the last sentence, "The streets of heaven are full of the bones of dukes and ministers", made the hearts and courage of all the officials in the hall begin to break, as if there was a sealed nightmare hidden in this poem, which was released with the coming of the poem.

Everyone's heart began to tremble. A deep and deep haze shrouded their hearts, making them shudder.

Everyone was moved by the hatred towards the noble families and the resentment that wanted to destroy the world expressed in the Right Wise King's poems, and the brutal destruction of the imperial city after the war, which made every minister present feel cold in their hearts.

In an instant, the Right Wise King who was far away in the desert grassland suddenly turned into a devil-like existence, making the ministers on the scene feel fear from the bottom of their souls.

".Foxes and rabbits are running around in Taiji Palace, thorns are everywhere in front of Qiyun Palace; the inner storehouse is burned to ashes, and the bones of the nobles are trampled on the streets of Tian!"

In Chengqing Hall, Li Shimin finished reading the document in his hand and muttered the last sentence, his hands trembling slightly.

As if the dragon's reverse scale had been touched, Li Shimin's face turned ashen, veins on his forehead throbbed, and his eyes released an unprecedented cold murderous intent. The temperature in the imperial study dropped to freezing point.

"Jianzi, Jianzi"

Suddenly, Li Shimin threw the memorial onto the imperial desk, and with a swish, he drew out the Chihu sword hanging on the palace pillar and chopped at the desk frantically like a madman. Fang Xuanling was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, terrified.

After the court was adjourned in Liangyi Hall, Fang Xuanling returned to Hongwen Hall, copied down the poem, and then went to Chengqing Hall and handed it to Li Shimin.

Fang Xuanling had already guessed that Li Shimin would be furious after seeing this half-written poem, so he dismissed everyone in advance. At this time, only the emperor and his minister were present.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

Li Shimin, holding a long sword in hand, turned around suddenly, looking at the submissive Fang Xuanling with murderous intent, and was furious: "Calm down, how can I calm down?"

"Fang Xuanling, you and Li Jing both said that the Right Wise King had good intentions towards our Tang Dynasty, but what about now?"

"Outside Fengzhou City, an army of 800,000 is approaching, looking as if they are going to swallow up our Tang Dynasty. I don't believe you can't understand the meaning of this half-verse of poetry brought back by Hou Junji. It is clear that the Right Wise King hates our Tang Dynasty to the core."

"He intends to personally lead the army, trample upon the Central Plains, and bring disaster to the Tang Dynasty."

"It's only half a poem, but the desolate and tragic scene of the end of the dynasty contained in it makes me, as an emperor, feel cold all over. Every family is bleeding, there are cries everywhere, people are eating wood bark, cutting human flesh, and there is also the Taiji Hall, the Qiyun Palace, and the bones of the ministers."

"Hahaha, how much hatred does the Right Wise King have for our Tang Dynasty? Could it be that his ancestors' graves have been dug up by our Tang Dynasty's rulers and ministers? From the princes and nobles to the common people, women and children, he doesn't want to let any of them go. He wants to capture them all and completely destroy this country."

Fang Xuanling, who was kneeling on the ground, was also very helpless. Just by looking at the literary talent in this half of the poem, he knew that the Right Wise King was by no means an illiterate commoner. On the contrary, he was very talented. If it were not for the fact that the poem expressed the expectation of the demise of the Tang Dynasty.

Fang Xuanling would definitely give a thumbs up.
"Your Majesty, I am your subject."

"Okay, stop talking!" Li Shimin threw his sword to the ground and said angrily, "I have made up my mind. I will do my best to win over Xueyantuo and fight to the death with this Right Wise King. Immediately convey my decree to grant Princess Ankang to Yinan as the Khetun and to make Yinan the new Khan of the grassland."

"Announce that this Right Wise King assassinated Jie Li and attempted to usurp the throne of the Turkic Khan. Call on all tribes on the grassland to jointly fight against this Right Wise King."

Fang Xuanling frowned and was about to persuade him when the door of the imperial study was knocked open and Wang De ran in with a panicked look on his face: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report?"

Li Shimin glanced at Wang De with murderous intent. Wang De was so scared that he knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Princess An Ankang, something happened!"

When Li Shimin heard that his beloved daughter was in trouble, he was anxious and asked quickly, "What happened to Ankang?"

Wang De glanced at Fang Xuanling in the palace and saw that Li Shimin had no intention of avoiding the question. He just stared at him with an urgent look on his face, so he said, "Princess Ankang was unwell a few days ago and had signs of nausea and vomiting. I thought she just had an upset stomach."

"The princess also strictly ordered her maids not to spread the news. Until today, when she was walking with the queen in the imperial garden, the princess fainted."

"The queen hurriedly summoned the imperial physician, but after the diagnosis, the imperial physician..."

Li Shimin was anxious. Ankang was not only his most beloved daughter, but also related to the upcoming marriage. Seeing Wang De hesitating and hesitant, the anger aroused by the Right Wise King surged up again: "You murderer, hurry up and tell me, what did the imperial physician say?"

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that the princess is pregnant."

"What the hell."

Li Shimin stepped forward and kicked Wang De, making him grin. "The princess is still waiting to be married, how could this happen? Who is this quack doctor who took my pulse? How dare he ruin the reputation of my royal family like this? I will kill his entire family."

Since he had already said it, Wang De didn't hesitate. He hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground again, saying tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I am just delivering the message. The Empress also knows that this matter is serious. She has summoned several imperial doctors, and the diagnosis results are all the same."

Li Shimin suddenly thought of something and his face changed.

He was too indulgent towards Ankang. This girl went to a merchant's house in Chang'an all day long in the name of learning piano. It was said that she was hanging out with a young man named Mu Yikuan all day long. Could it be that she really did something immoral?

The Tang Dynasty was not like the Qin and Han dynasties. It was a mixed society of the Han and the Hu people that had experienced hundreds of years of moral decay and social disarray. It had an open-minded atmosphere and did not have overly strict etiquette.

In the mansions of wealthy families, all kinds of troubles are not uncommon.

But when such a thing happened in the royal family and to his most beloved daughter, Li Shimin couldn't bear it.

He immediately called Ma Xuanliang in.

"Ma Xuanliang, take your men and put all the people of the Dou family in Chang'an in jail. No one is allowed to contact them without my order."

"Yes, I will obey your command!" Ma Xuanliang agreed and left.

"Xuan Ling, such a scandal has happened in the royal family. I am really ashamed. I have to deal with it immediately."

With misfortunes for his family, internal and external troubles, Li Shimin looked even more embarrassed: "As for the Turkic issue, you should draft an order according to my wishes. No matter what Yi Nan asks for, I will agree to it. I must make him stand on the side of the Tang Dynasty and jointly deal with the Right Wise King."

"As for Ankang's matter, it must be kept strictly confidential. Before Yi Nan knows about it, the overall situation in the north must be stabilized."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, without waiting for Fang Xuanling to say anything else, he flicked his sleeves and went to the harem angrily.

Thousands of miles northwest of Chang'an, in Lingzhou City, Li Daozon's Grand Marshal's Office was located.

Li Daozong was originally promoted to Minister of War after the Battle of Dingxiang, and his title was changed from King of Rencheng to King of Jiangxia. He had been serving in Chang'an, because the Turkic war came quickly and suddenly, especially in Lingzhou, where 300,000 Xueyantuo cavalry were stationed on the west bank of the Yellow River.

Li Daozon, who had served here for a long time and was familiar with the situation, was appointed to be the Grand Commander of Lingzhou, in order to control the northwest and suppress the Xueyantuo.

At the same time, he was responsible for reorganizing the second line of defense in Lingzhou, Yanzhou and Xiazhou in the middle section of Guannei Road. In the event that Li Ji's Yellow River defense line was lost, the Tang Dynasty could rely on Dingxiang Road to continue blocking the southward advance of the Turkic cavalry and guard the capital.
