The Lone Star of the Tang Dynasty

He was deeply worried, and in the face of the threat of the extremely vicious family and foreign enemies such as the Turks and Goguryeo, Li Chengqian, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, was afraid that it would be difficult for him to deal with it. Once it is not handled properly, Datang may follow in the footsteps of the Western Jin Dynasty and the country will be unstable.

Li Er continued: "But Ge'er is completely different, and during this period of time, the pressure from inside and outside the imperial court has almost entirely come from people from all walks of life, who have been constantly pressuring me because of the reform of the imperial examination, and the Turkic and Goguryeo on the border are eyeing me, making me feel exhausted and helpless. However, when I went to talk to Ge'er, in less than half a day, he came up with a few strategies that were lightly proposed, and all the problems that plagued me were solved one by one. "

"All the problems have been solved, how is this possible?" exclaimed the eldest grandson, she never expected that Ge'er would have such a means. At the age of sixteen, she should have the impression of a carefree youth, but Ge'er showed wisdom and determination beyond her years, just as magical as Li Er once went up the mountain to seek advice from a high monk and hermit.

"Guanyin, this matter is true. Li Er responded calmly, "Think about it, if Cheng Qian is faced with such a complicated situation now, and officials from all walks of life join forces to exert pressure, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to deal with it." Cheng Qian's heart is soft-hearted and lacks decisiveness, and those so-called people who are good at disguise and are actually no different from vassal kings, once they join forces and exert pressure in various ways, villains like Cui Zhengde are afraid that they will be able to escape punishment long ago. "

"That's true. Empress Changsun nodded in agreement, knowing the importance of the royal family's punishment of traitors, and at the same time, she also understood that Cheng Qian's personality traits could not cope with such a thorny problem. As soon as Cui Zhengde was mentioned, she thought that if it weren't for Li Er's tough hand, this person would have been at large.

However, what surprised Empress Changsun even more was that Ge'er not only had unique insights into internal affairs, but also gave a convincing strategy to defend against foreign enemies.

"He's also proficient in military affairs," Li Er continued, "and even the veteran Li Jing is full of praise for his opinions." The new type of bow and crossbow he designed, a weapon made according to the drawings, was far more powerful than a one-stone crossbow that ordinary soldiers could operate. Ge'er's crossbow can fire arrows with three or four stone power!".

This news shocked Empress Changsun, even if she was not familiar with military affairs, she knew that it meant a huge improvement in the equipment of the Tang army. I was secretly glad in my heart that such a genius was actually his own flesh and blood, otherwise if he fell into the hands of the Turks and other enemies, the safety of Chang'an City would probably face a huge threat.

Her

curiosity drove Empress Changsun to ask, "How did Ge'er solve these family problems?" You know, even a generation of virtuous ministers like Wei Zheng, and even the emperors of all dynasties, were troubled by the problem of vassal kings. "

Li Er smiled mysteriously and sold a pass: "The plan proposed by Ge'er is not very mysterious, the key is that his insight is far-reaching, which is different from ordinary people's facts. Tomorrow morning, we will know what it is, and when the time comes, I will see how these families can make waves!"

Empress Eldest Sun stared at Li Er, although her heart was full of curiosity, she could see at a glance that Li Er had indeed unloaded a lot of burdens at this moment. The long-lost youthful evil and crazy aura loomed in him, as if he had returned to his carefree youth. She couldn't help but be in a trance, and the hearty laughter and peaceful and sweet sleep of Li Er in her memory seemed to have been lost for many years. All these changes, starting from the appearance of Ge'er, have happened quietly.

Empress Eldest Sun's heart was surging, and she originally did not agree with the change of the prince.

Although Li Changge is talented, as a mother, she naturally does not want to see her two sons, Cheng Qian and Li Changge, because of the struggle for the throne and fell into contradictions, and then caused a tragedy like Xuanwumen.

However, as the situation evolved, she gradually realized that perhaps Li Changge was the one who was more suitable to sit on the dragon chair, and his qualifications and talents were made in heaven. At this moment, she had a hint of hesitation in her heart about changing the reserve, and planned to listen to Li Er's opinion.

The night fades, the morning light fades, and a new day arrives as scheduled.

The Imperial City of the Tang Dynasty stands majestically, and the Vermilion Bird Gate is eye-catching.

Throughout the ages, the imperial city has followed the pattern of sitting in the north and facing south, the Vermilion Bird belongs to the fire, and the direction is south, therefore, the south gate of the Imperial City is not Hanguang Gate, not the door of An, it is the Vermilion Bird Gate that symbolizes the imperial power. All decrees were issued by Simen, reflecting the will and authority of the emperor.

At this moment, outside the Suzaku Gate, a group of ministers dressed in official robes were neatly arranged, and the number was huge, accounting for more than two-thirds of the total number of officials in the Tang Dynasty, and they were all from the strength of the family.

Seeing that the time of the early dynasty had come, they did not set foot in the imperial city to participate in the court meeting, but stood here silently and solemnly, their eyes were different: some were as fierce as knives, some were fearful and restless, and some were fanatical as fire.

When the people saw this, they were terrified and avoided it.

After all, the changes in Xuanwumen have not yet gone away, and now seeing such a formation, it is inevitable that people will speculate whether there will be rebirth in the palace. This abnormal atmosphere naturally can't escape the eyes of many people.

Qin Qiong frowned, he also stood outside the Suzaku Gate, but deliberately kept a distance from those officials, he looked at the eldest grandson Wuji beside him, and asked suspiciously: "Auxiliary machine, what's going on, why don't these officials go to court, but gather here?"

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and sighed, and after being silent for a long time, he explained to Qin Qiong in a low voice: "These are all factions controlled by various families, Shubao, you are also a close confidant of Your Majesty, and you must also know that Your Majesty has encountered some ......difficulties recently."

When Qin Qiong heard this, his expression changed suddenly, and he eagerly asked: "Then what do they intend to do this? Is Your Majesty in the palace now? Also, what does General Li Jing think about this?"

The eldest grandson Wuji was about to answer, but Qin Qiong couldn't hold it anymore and was about to go to the barracks outside the city.

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly reassured: "The general is calm and don't be impatient, the matter is not serious to that point." "

Qin Qiong was stunned for a moment, and then understood that if there was really a coup d'état, he was afraid that he would not be able to chat with him safely.

But he was still puzzled: "Brother Auxiliary Machine, what happened, what did they want to do?"

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed helplessly and continued to explain: "It's not because a few days ago I executed a person named Cui Zhengde, who is a disciple of the Qinghe Cui clan. The Qinghe Cui clan was not convinced by this, and united all the families to find trouble with His Majesty. "

"Trouble with Your Majesty? It's really bold!" Qin Qiong was indignant, and suddenly found that almost all the officials in front of him were gathered by the Qinghe Cui clan, and the number of people was staggering. Such a scale of pressure, even if it does not involve a coup d'état, just asking His Majesty to give an explanation, I am afraid that it will make Li Er, who has just been on the throne for two years, bow his head.

At this time, it was the second year of Zhenguan, if he bowed his head to the family at this time, then how could Li Er stabilize the throne and maintain the stability of the country in the future? Qin Qiong knew very well that if this situation was allowed to develop, the world would be in turmoil.

The eldest grandson Wuji saw Qin Qiong's doubts and further revealed the inside story: "Actually, this incident is not just because of Cui Zhengde alone, the key is the ......imperial examination edict issued by His Majesty a month ago."
