Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- In Chang'an City, Prince Li Chengqian supervises the country, and Zhongshu Ling Changsun Wuji and Zhongzhong Wei Zheng assist him. This arrangement is sufficient to deal with any political crisis that arises. From this, we can imagine that Li Shimin had considered his northern expedition to Liaodong before making such arrangements for the personnel staying in Chang'an City to ensure that he could safely conquer Liaodong.
However, when the Liaodong Campaign reached a desperate situation, Chang'an City did not give him a stable rear area as Li Shimin expected, but instead revealed an abnormal atmosphere. It was quiet, too quiet. In the past, when the Tang Dynasty launched an army and was defeated or defeated, the people of Chang'an City would cry and be sad, or celebrate excitedly. But it didn't happen this time. The war situation in Liaodong was in a stalemate, and the frontline army was in trouble. Such news did not arouse the interest of the common people in Chang'an.
In the East Prince's Mansion, Li Tai was meditating alone in the study. Wang Gui has died of illness, and Cen Wenwen has become his chief adviser. However, at the moment, he is in Li Tai's Liaodong, supervising grain and grass, and is not with Li Tai.
Li Tai thought about the unusual quietness in Chang'an City recently, and he noticed something strange in it.
However, he was helpless about the strange atmosphere in front of him, and he did not have enough strength to find out what was going on.
Although, Li Shimin took away the army guarding Chang'an City, leaving only two defenders behind. However, Li Tai knew very well that Chang'an City was now under the control of Prince Li Chengqian, and the generals in the two remaining guards were his people. The palace also had six guards from the Prince's East Palace.
Li Tai suddenly felt very tired. When his father was here, he felt that as long as he had a firm foothold in the court, he could compete with Li Chengqian and Li Tai. Now that his father had left Chang'an City to conquer Goryeo, he felt that without an army to rely on, he was like fish on the chopping board and could only be slaughtered by others.
Suddenly, he thought of why his third brother Li Ke suddenly wanted to patrol the northwest when his father was marching north to conquer Korea. It turns out that he had already anticipated the crisis in Chang'an!
What should I do?
"We can't leave at this time without a reasonable excuse, and Li Chengqian may not agree to it. If I insist on going my own way, I am afraid there will be even more terrible consequences.
Li Tai was a little confused. For the first time, he felt powerless. For the first time, he realized how small he seemed in this huge capital city.
"Your Highness - are you looking for us?" Su Xu and Du Chuke interrupted Li Tai's contemplation.
Su Xu is the Sima of the palace, and Du Chuke is the chief historian of the palace. They can be said to be Li Tai's right-hand men.
Therefore, when his close ministers are not around, Li Taichang will find two people to discuss countermeasures.
"Did you notice anything?" Li Tai asked lightly.
"Chang'an City is too quiet!" Su Xu said, "The silence is a bit scary, as if a storm is brewing."
"The defense of Chang'an City has been strengthened a lot recently, and some of the city gates have been handed over to the Sixth Leader of the East Palace!" Du Chuke said, and the meaning of his words was self-evident.
The prince's personal guards of the Sixth Army in the East Palace each have nearly 3,000 people when they are full, and the Sixth Army is 18,000 people.
" However, Li Chengqian's six rate was only half of the people, which was nearly nine thousand people. If there are more than 9,000 people, plus the two guards and more than 40,000 people, if they want to control Chang'an City, it is definitely more than enough.
"What's going on with Wei Zheng?" Li Tai continued to ask.
In the Dongwang Mansion, Sima Duchuke was responsible for inquiring about the news.
"Wei Zheng is very busy now. Changsun Wuji has delegated all government affairs to Wei Zheng. He is personally responsible for the preparation of food and fodder for the Northern Expedition." Du Chuke continued to answer.
¡°This old fox¡ª¡ª¡± Li Tai scolded, ¡°I always feel a little uneasy. Tell me, why is this?¡±
"Your Highness, the situation on the scene in Chang'an, let alone you, is that the civil and military officials are very uneasy, and the people of Chang'an City are also uneasy." Du Chuke continued, "Because of this, Chang'an City has become so quiet."
"What should we do?" Li Tai asked.
"Stay behind closed doors and wait for the emperor's trainer to return to the court!" Su Xu suddenly said, "Most of the people in Chang'an City are uneasy because the emperor's departure has caused Chang'an City to lose the courage to support his majesty. Wait for the emperor to return to the court. , this uneasiness will be dissipated.¡±
"Can you wait?" Li Tai asked secretly, "My father swore not to destroy Goryeo and not to return to the court, but now the troops are blocking Baiyan City, making it difficult to advance, and there is not enough food and grass - "
Neither Su Xu nor Du Chuke spoke. They didn't know how to make suggestions now, so they could only remain silent.
"Is there any movement in the Beiwang Mansion?" Li Tai suddenlyRan asked.
"Back to Your Highness, there is nothing going on in the Northern Palace -" Du Chuke said, "It's just -"
"Just what?" A glint flashed in Li Tai's eyes.
"Beiwang Mansion seems to be calm as usual, but there is a faint murderous spirit inside-" Du Chuke was careful in his words.
"What do you mean?" Li Tai asked coldly.
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the North King had many Wolf Riders with him when he returned to Chang'an, but he did not take many people away when he left this time and left them at the palace." Du Chuke said carefully, "With the Wolf Riders Camp In terms of combat effectiveness, as long as there are hundreds of people, it will not be difficult for them to break out of Chang'an City without you having enough troops to stop them."
Li Tai did not speak, but the cold light in his eyes showed his anger.
"Also, there are many strange faces appearing in Chang'an City!" Du Chuke continued.
"Your Highness, I know a little bit about the rumors about the Northern King." Su Xu suddenly said.
"What?" Li Tai asked in surprise.
"I heard, I just heard that King Bei still has a secret organization in his hands!" Su Xu said carefully.
"Where did you hear this?" Li Tai asked coldly.
"A lot of people have been talking about this issue in the taverns in Chang'an City for the past few days!" Su Xu said, "It seems that this news has only spread in Chang'an City in the past two days."
The study is very quiet!
After a while, Li Tai suddenly said, "This is them building momentum. As the saying goes, dark clouds are threatening to destroy the city. Without these dark clouds, how could there be a storm?" Then, Li Tai showed a faint sneer. "Go and order the servants in the mansion to stay away from home if they are good, and to stay away from trouble¡ª¡ª" Li Tai continued, "The game of power has just begun. I would like to see who is the protagonist of the game and who is in the game." doll."
"Nuo" Su Xu bowed and replied.
Immediately, he and Du Chuke left the study.
Li Tai was the only one left in the study.
Suddenly, Li Tai said to himself lightly, "I can't choose my destiny, but I must fulfill my duties. If you want to play a power game, how can you be missing me, Li Tai? Wouldn't it be a lot more boring?"
