The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 390 Princess Pingyang, a heroine

Tang Capital, Chang'an

At this time, Li Yuan was calling all the ministers to organize a court meeting to discuss Li Yuanji's plan to attack the puppet Sui Dynasty without authorization in northern Xinjiang.

"My dear friends, now that my rebellious son is attacking without authorization, I wonder if you have a remedy?"

For a moment, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel that his face was dull. After all, it was his son who attacked without authorization, and he didn't take him, the emperor, seriously.

It should be known that in the imperial power career of ancient emperors, what those in power feared most was that their subordinates acted without their backs.

Now, if it weren't for the secret urgent report from his deputy Guo Ziyi, Li Yuan might still be kept in the dark.

However, this is not the most important thing, Li Yuanji's stupid approach, disregarding the overall situation, attacked the Sui army.

Just think about it, if the Sui army is defeated, how can Li Tang be alone, and he will face the Hu cavalry at that time.

At that time, Li Shimin, stationed in Tongguan, must send troops northward to resist the large-scale invasion of the Hu people, so as to capture Luoyang, the eastern capital, and his plan to seize the Central Plains will be shelved.

Therefore, what Li Yuan hated the most was not Li Yuanji's disobedience, but his interests that did not proceed from the long-term perspective, which made him start to think deeply, whether Li Yuanji could really stay in the appointment of Taiyuan Mansion?
…………

It's just that when the matter was still being discussed in the hall, the arrival of an urgent report broke the tranquility of the hall again!

A warrior in front of the palace heard the scout's battle report, rushed to the palace, knelt down to salute Li Yuan, and said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers under His Royal Highness Gangqi are reporting, and the north is urgent!"

"His Royal Highness King Qi led the army to attack the Sui court. The advance was very smooth, but he couldn't attack for a long time under the Yinguan City, and was finally defeated by Gao Qi who was galloping northward."

"Afterwards, His Highness felt unwilling and secretly planned to ambush Gao Qi in Tucheng, but at this time the Qi army reacted extremely quickly."

"His Royal Highness King Qi not only failed to ambush Gao Qi, but instead defeated the Qi army who came to help him, losing troops and losing generals. At this time, he is holding on to Loufan Pass with all his strength, waiting for death!"

Immediately, the warriors in front of the temple couldn't help but reveal all the information brought by the scouts one by one!

Hearing this, there was an undercurrent surging in the hall instantly, and all the ministers couldn't help but be puzzled.

On the other hand, Li Yuan was extremely furious at this time, very annoyed!

"Nie Zi, trash!"

At this time, Li Yuan's face was extremely gloomy, and he angrily reprimanded, saying.

In fact, Li Yuan was also very depressed at this time. After all, Li Yuanji attacked without authorization and attacked the Sui army. As long as he captured the entire territory of Yanmen, everything would be fine. mouth!
However, now Li Yuanji not only captured Yanmen, but his relationship with Gao Qi deteriorated.

It is conceivable that even if Li Tang reconciles with Sui and Qi this time, he has no proper reason to intervene in the war in northern Xinjiang again.

This will be extremely detrimental to Li Yuan's desire to annex the Puppet Sui in the future!

The source of all this is Qi Wang Li Yuanji.

Now, Li Yuan actually has the idea of ​​​​removing Li Yuanji's left-behind governor.

In fact, this is also reasonable. At this stage, Li Yuanji can be said to be full of tricks. If he continues to lead the Bingzhou army, what kind of troubles will happen!
Next, most of the ministers were from Guanlong aristocrats, so the family interests will be the most important considerations in their actions.

Now Li Yuanji has made a lot of tricks, seriously damaging the property of the Guanlong nobles in Bingzhou.

Immediately, all the courtiers of Guanlong could not help uniting together, begging Li Yuan to remove Li Yuanji on their knees, thus forming a threat!
In a split second, Li Yuan couldn't help being shocked on the spot, and suddenly, he seemed to realize something.

After a moment of silence, Li Yuan said with a golden eloquence, "Then I don't know who all the loves think, who in the imperial court can replace Yuan Ji and the governor of Bingzhou?"

Hearing this, the originally lively ministers suddenly died down as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them.

In fact, this is just the cleverness of the ministers, and it is just a prudent act to protect themselves.

After all, Li Yuanji had repeatedly encountered obstacles in northern Xinjiang, but his status was still unmatched by all the ministers!
Therefore, none of the ministers is a shrewd person, so how could they go forward to offer advice.

After a long time, no one stood up, while the chief executive, Chai Shao, stood up slowly and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go north to succeed King Qi and lead the army against the enemy!"

Obviously, Chai Shao also saw that Li Yuan did not want to hand over the military power to someone other than the clan, so he took the initiative to invite Ying.

In fact, the most important thing is Chai Shao's position. After all, Chai Shao fully supports Li Shimin.

It hopes that Li Shimin can finally inherit the Datong and ascend to the throne of God!

But now, Li Shimin has controlled the [-] troops in the east of Guanlong to defend the Central Plains.

Chai Shao knew in his heart that as long as he volunteered to go north, he would gain military power in Bingzhou.

At that time, Li Shimin will be able to completely crush Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji with the prestige of the military and an overwhelming advantage.

However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is always cruel!

Hearing this, Li Yuan pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Sichang, you should stay in the capital, when the King of Qin will lead the army to march east."

"I still need your great assistance, so please pass on the news about going north to others!"

Hearing this, what Chai Shao never expected was to be politely rejected by Li Yuan.

For a moment, Chai Shaoxin felt a little unwilling and had no choice but to go back slowly.

In fact, the fundamental reason why Chai Shao was allowed to assist Li Shimin was to let him supervise.

After all, Li Yuan has to guard against Yang Guang's actions in the past, the lessons learned from the past, and the lessons learned from the past!

Due to the rejection of Chai Shao's request to fight, the main general has not yet properly resolved it at this time.

Afterwards, Shang Shu Pei Ji walked out slowly, walked into the center of the hall, clasped his fists in salute, and recommended: "Your Majesty, I recommend a person who will definitely be able to stay in Bingzhou."

Hearing this, Li Yuan was overjoyed, and immediately asked, "Who is it?"

"Ha ha!"

"Actually, this person is far away in the sky, but close in front of us!"

"It is the eldest daughter of His Majesty, the wife of Chai Consort, and Princess Pingyang!"

As the person recommended by Pei Ji spoke slowly, the faces of the officials couldn't help but gradually changed.

In an instant, a woman who looked like a woman entered the minds of the ministers.

Princess Pingyang, Chai Shao's wife, the two have been living in Chang'an.

After Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan, Chai Shao received his secret letter and asked him to leave secretly.

Finally, under the persuasion of Princess Pingyang, Chai Shao went north alone to meet Li Yuan's flag of righteousness, and stayed in Chang'an alone.

Afterwards, Princess Pingyang returned to Li's manor, disguised herself as a man, and called herself Mr. Li, and sold her property to help the victims.

Soon, after Li Yuan raised his army, Princess Pingyang expanded the strength of the Li family in order to recruit more troops.

In just a few months, various anti-Sui rebels, including He Panren, Li Zhongwen, Xiang Shanzhi, Qiu Shili, etc., were brought under his command.

Subsequently, Princess Pingyang successively led the army to capture Huxian, Zhouzhi, Wugong, and Shi on an equal footing, and almost swept Guanlong.

It almost provided strong support for the Li family to start their troops from Taiyuan and go south.

It can be said that Li Tang was able to capture Guanlong quickly, and Princess Pingyang's contribution during this period can be said to be indispensable!

It is a pity that, according to the records of the old Tang book and the new Tang book, there is no record of Princess Pingyang's surname.

Therefore, such a heroine who made great military exploits for the Tang Dynasty will gradually disappear in the long river of history and become unknown to everyone.

Not only that, but the subsequent Princess Pingyang even sat in Taiyuan, the land of Li Tanglong Xing.

I have to say, this is indeed a great misfortune!
…………

Therefore, after Pei Ji recommended Princess Pingyang, after some consideration, Li Yuan agreed to use Princess Pingyang to go north and lead the Bingzhou Army.

As for Li Yuanji, he was ordered by Li Yuan to return to Kyoto.
