At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 185 Wei Zheng: Your Majesty, please kill relatives righteously
Yiyang City.

Li Shimin's letter to Li Jing asking for advice has not been sent yet...

Then I received a report from Li Jing analyzing the military situation.

Tell him to be prepared, it is very likely that there will be a protracted war for a long time in the future.

After receiving the letter, Li Shimin turned away from the left and right, leaving Changsun Wuji alone with his eyes facing each other with a wry smile.

"Auxiliary machine, the pharmacist said in the report that the troops guarding the two cities of Yiyang and Xin'an are all strong troops, and the leaders of the troops are well versed in the art of war. It is very likely that they will fight for a year."

Li Shimin now just wants to regain the "lost ground" as soon as possible.

Otherwise, he will always carry the blame.

After Changsun Wuji heard this, he couldn't help complaining: "If the five surnames and Qiwang hadn't provoked this matter, why would Your Highness have come to this!"

Li Shimin thought of Cui's group of people, and snorted coldly: "The aristocratic family is a cancer, if it wasn't for my Li family to start a family, I need to rely on them..."

It can be said that any force in the world can abandon the aristocratic family, but their Li family can't.

The rise of the Li family is largely due to the Guanlong Group.

In addition, there is the full support of the five surnames Qiwang and other aristocratic families.

In this Eastern Expedition, the aristocratic family contributed a lot, contributed money and food, and only then did they gather the supplies and food needed by the [-] army.

"Your Highness, the crown prince is currently guarding Puzhou, but Turkic is attracted by Dou Jiande, and the main force is in Hebei. He must have nothing to do. This is a great opportunity for His Highness to rise. Therefore, the attack on Henan must be successful, so as to attract His Majesty's attention. what!"

As Li Shimin's counselor and friend, Changsun Wuji spoke out Li Shimin's heartfelt feelings.

The reason why he served as the Generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition this time is mainly because... Li Jiancheng has a more important task.

He was assigned to the northern part of Jingzhao County, which is Puzhou north of Chang'an, to guard the Turks and prevent the Turks from invading.

Because the Turkic race is unfaithful and unrighteous, although they sent [-] cavalry to help, they often attacked the allies...

Sometimes the tribe ran out of food, so they went south to invade.

But this time, the Turkic main forces were all attracted by Dou Jiande, and Li Jiancheng was doomed to only defend Puzhou empty-handed.

So it is indeed a great opportunity for Li Shimin to rise.

If he can capture Henan County, the area occupied by Li Tang will directly double!
After hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help nodding, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said in a deep voice: "Didn't the Turks send [-] cavalry to help? Xu Shiji is guarding outside Yiyang City, or find an opportunity to attack his camp..."

He joined the army as a young man and knows a thing or two about the art of war.

Although not as good as veteran generals like Li Jing, I also know that as long as it is not a siege battle, in this kind of flat ground battle, the power of the Turkic cavalry...

Will be irresistible!
In a face-to-face attack, [-] cavalry are enough to crush an army of [-]!
As long as Xu Shiji shows his flaws, the defenders in his city will rush out directly, and it is very likely that they will regain the 32 states along the way!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin became more and more excited, and began to contact Li Jing, asking for advice on the possibility of success.

……

Changan.

Within four days, Li Shimin's deeds of losing 32 states in a row came back.

Then the whole Chang'an fell into silence.

No one is bragging about Li Shimin anymore.

Of course, many people figured out what Li Yuan wanted, and they didn't dare to make trouble at this critical moment.

After all, Li Yuan's appointment of Li Shimin as the Grand Marshal of the Eastern Expedition this time was to coat him with gold.

So that he can make some military exploits, otherwise, Li Jiancheng will be the Generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition this time.

In addition to being an emperor, he was also a father.

After choosing a successor, he still needs to leave some options for his other sons.

however……

Among all the ministers in Chang'an, there was only one person who didn't know what was good or bad, and continued to bombard Li Shimin indiscriminately in the early court, chasing after him.

"Your Majesty, I checked the history books all night, and I have never heard of the precedent of losing 32 states within four days!"

Wei Zheng prostrated himself on the ground and said sadly.

Li Yuangao sat on the dragon chair, staring at Wei Zheng coldly.

To be honest, he hates Wei Zheng more and more now.

Not at all human.

He actually kept staring at his second son to bite.

"Thirty-two state cities in a row, what is this concept? Your Majesty! If everyone in the Tang Dynasty is like this, then the foundation created by Your Majesty will be destroyed in less than a month!"

Wei Zheng had no self-knowledge at all, and fired at Li Shimin one after another.

Li Yuan looked at him coldly, interrupted him impatiently, and said: "Then according to Qing's words, how should I deal with King Qin?"

Wei Zheng raised his head slowly, his face was resolute and resolute, without the slightest fear, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please follow Shi Que's example and punish relatives righteously, and punish according to the laws of my Tang Dynasty, so as to set the sight straight, and to clearly reward and punish!"

Shi Que was a virtuous official of the state of Wei in the Spring and Autumn Period. His son Shi Hou and his son Xu killed the king together. Then he asked Chen Guo for troops and suppressed them.

Lord Chen Guoguo asked him how to deal with his son.

He said at the time that it would be done according to the law.

For this reason, Zuo Zhuan praised him: "It's true to kill relatives with righteousness!"

It means that righteousness destroys relatives, and it is such a person!

Li Yuan came from an aristocratic family and had read a lot of books, so he naturally knew the source of the allusions about righteousness and extermination of relatives.

Immediately his face turned cold.

This Wei Zheng actually took this matter to such a high level.

One is lost land, the other is rebellion, can this be the same?

And this time the lost ground...

Even he felt wronged for Li Shimin.

Although the aristocratic family presented the city of 34 states and attached the seal of the city of 34 states, but...

Who would have thought that within four days, Sun Ying would actually recover her!

This seems to be a great achievement, but it is actually a disaster!

Li Yuan stood up abruptly, staring straight at Wei Zheng, and sneered: "It seems that Wei Qing is determined to let me judge the king of Qin!"

Wei Zheng's body trembled, but his eyes were still extremely firm, and he said in a deep voice: "The people cannot stand without trust, and the country cannot survive! If the laws are not followed, the country will not be a country! Tai Shigong said that the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people , what about His Royal Highness King Qin?"

Wei Zheng was upright, and when the officials were silent, he was the only one who bombarded Li Shimin crazily.

And his fighting power is still exceptionally strong...

The persecuted Li Yuan had no choice but to pay attention, snorted coldly, and looked at Huangfu Wuyi.

That's right, it was Huangfu Wuyi.

After Wang Shichong forced Yang Yu to abdicate and become emperor, he abandoned his wife and son, went to Chang'an, and took refuge in Li Yuan.

Li Yuan also thinks highly of him.

He was appointed Minister of Dali Temple in Chang'an.

"Master of Dali Temple, please tell me how to deal with King Qin according to the law?" Li Yuan looked at Huangfu Wuyi coldly.

Cold sweat broke out on Huangfu Wuyi's forehead.

He glanced at Wei Zheng complainingly.

This Wei Zheng really doesn't know what's good or bad.

Your Majesty has made it clear that he does not want to punish King Qin!

Also deal with it according to the law...

For the crime of losing land, all meritorious officials in just one city will be cut off and handed over to a judge.

As for the 34 states...

Huangfu Wuyi didn't even dare to think about it.

This is no different from the criminal responsibility of defecting to the enemy and treason.

Swallowing, he didn't dare to answer, so he just lowered his head and said nothing.

"Huangfu Aiqing, I'm asking you!" Li Yuan urged in a deep voice.

Huangfu Wuyi gave a wry smile, and said hastily: "This incident happened for a reason, and it can't be punished simply as the crime of losing land. After all, it is a family offering the city, and it is not inherent in my Tang Dynasty—"

Before he finished speaking, Wei Zheng sneered: "Then, according to Dali Temple Secretary, King Qin is not only innocent, but also meritorious because he occupied the two cities of Xin'an and Yiyang?"

When he asked, Huangfu Wuyi was confused.

Does he dare to claim merit?

After all, the whole of Henan almost belonged to Datang.

Because of Li Shimin's ineffective takeover, he lost 32 states in a row.

"Master of Dali Temple, I want to ask you something!" Wei Zheng stared at him coldly, his tone quite unfriendly.

Huangfu Wuyi swallowed his saliva, gave a wry smile, ignored the big troll, and cupped his hands towards Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, this matter is complicated and rare in ancient times. Rong Chen will go back and investigate the regulations in detail, and he will definitely give His Majesty a satisfactory answer." reply."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

At the same time, he glanced at the courtiers.

Finally, there is someone who can share his worries.

When Wei Zheng, a big troll, made trouble, all the ministers chose to sit on the sidelines, which really disappointed him.

In fact, if he hadn't smelled Huangfu Wuyi, Huangfu Wuyi would also have planned to stand by and watch.

After all, Wei Zheng represented Li Jiancheng, and they dared not stand in line against the King of Qin.

If the gods accidentally fight, it will bring disaster to Chi Yu.

Wei Zheng still wanted to speak, but Li Yuan walked away directly, announcing his resignation.

It prevented Wei Zheng from continuing to attack.

If the court meeting continues, Wei Zheng, a person who doesn't know how to read words and expressions, may really let him kill the King of Qin...

……

Yiyang City.

Li Shimin soon also received news from Chang'an.

Knowing that Wei Zheng actually... wanted him to die, he was so angry that he drew out his sword and slashed at the air.

"How unreasonable! One day, this commander will kill Wei Xuancheng!"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth with hatred.

Wei Xuancheng, also known as Wei Zheng's name.

He thought that all of this came from Li Jiancheng.

However, in fact, Wei Zheng had just returned to the Tang Dynasty and was assigned to the East Palace. Li Jiancheng was sent to the north to guard Puzhou, and he was completely unfamiliar with Li Jiancheng.

He just expressed his own opinion according to his own position.

"Your Highness, the pharmacist is here." Changsun Wuji shook his head and gave a wry smile while reporting.

Li Shimin calmed down his anger, put his sword back into its sheath, straightened his beard, hair and clothes, and began to meet Li Jing.

Li Jing's coming this time was precisely for the counterattack he had proposed earlier with the help of the Turkic [-] cavalry.

"What does Pharmacist think of this strategy? The Turkic cavalry was secretly borrowed from Tang Dynasty. Sun Ying must not know about it. With the help of this cavalry, can Pharmacist be sure to defeat the two powerful armies of Yiyang and Xin'an?" Li Shimin pulled Li Jing hand, asked very excitedly.

Li Jing frowned slightly after hearing this.

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with Li Shimin's strategy.

The Turkic cavalry was secretly borrowed by Datang, and neither Wang Shichong nor Sun Ying knew about it.

Relying on this strange soldier, he can definitely win a battle, but...

Thinking of the army guarding outside Xin'an City, for some reason, Li Jing suddenly felt a little unconfident.
