The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

As early as the reform of the imperial examination system, Li Changqing began to be wary of these aristocratic families.

The reform of the imperial examination will inevitably shake the fundamental interests of these aristocratic families. For these aristocratic families who value interests above all else, harming their fundamental interests is tantamount to fighting to the death.

However, they did not take any drastic measures afterwards, as if they had suffered a big loss. This seemed normal, but in fact it was very abnormal.

After becoming the emperor and shouldering the entire Tang Dynasty, Li Changqing had a more intuitive understanding of the power of these aristocratic families, and became more determined in his idea.

The hands and feet of these aristocratic families... have gone too far.

There must be a break between him and them. He had intended to get rid of them after the war between the two emperors ended.

It was just that the civil strife had just subsided at that time, the country was unstable, and the wealthy families did not reveal their flaws, so the idea was suppressed for the time being, but the vigilance was still there.

As a result, in the past two years, there have been several changes in the Tang army. Some veterans retired and new recruits entered the army.

This seems to be a replacement of old and new troops to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, but no one pays attention to whether it is really necessary for these veterans to withdraw, and where they go after they withdraw.

These veterans were all quietly arranged by Li Changqing into the Royal City Guards. The thirty thousand guards were all veteran soldiers who had retired from elite armies such as the Dragon Cavalry Guards and Modao Army!

This time Li Changqing sent the army to counterattack the five countries, which was also the best bait for these wealthy families to lure them into action.

Li Changqing's calm eyes swept over the faces of the officials in the palace, and said in a deep voice:"There are few people who are in charge of Chang'an, and Chang'an is an unbreakable city!"

"Don’t forget, everyone, I am the King Wu of the Tang Dynasty!"

The voice was sonorous and powerful, exuding incomparable confidence and domineering, which made all the ministers feel trembling and immediately fell down.

Yes, they had all forgotten that the emperor in front of them had another identity - King Wu of the Tang Dynasty!

……

One day later, when many aristocratic families led 100,000 troops to Chang'an City, they faced a militia team of 10,000 young men from Chang'an City.

These young men were holding weapons such as iron forks, hoes, and poles in their hands. Facing a hundred thousand well-equipped troops, although their faces were pale and there was fear in their eyes, no one flinched!

Seeing these young and strong militiamen, the Li clan leader rode out into battle and shouted:"We are here to kill the thief Li Changqing, why don't you retreat quickly!"

"Nonsense! You are the real rebels!"

"Your Majesty is an enlightened and holy king who allows us and the people to live and work in peace and contentment. You traitors can't even think of harming Your Majesty!"

"That's right! If you want to enter Chang'an, step through me first!"

"You traitors and traitors will be punished by God!"

……

As soon as Chief Li finished speaking, these militiamen cursed loudly and looked angry.

All the things Li Changqing did for the Tang Dynasty were seen by the people, and they supported him from the bottom of their hearts. Otherwise, there would not be so many young men forming militias to stop the enemy today.

"What a bunch of damn pariahs!"

Clan Chief Li cursed in a low voice, then looked at Chief Wang next to him and asked,"What should we do now? A hint of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the

Wang clan leader, and he said coldly:"The people have been deceived and deceived by the false emperor Li Changqing. If persuasion fails, then they will be killed!""

Clan leader Li immediately understood and stopped trying to persuade him. He coldly ordered:"The army is ready to charge! Attack Chang'an! Kill the false emperor!"

He actually wanted to charge these 10,000 ordinary people!

At this moment, the city gate of Chang'an City opened again, and countless Imperial Guards in heavy armor filed out, forming an array under Chang'an City, and attacked 10,000 ordinary people. Guarding behind him.

On the city wall, there were also many imperial guards swarming up the wall, and there was also a bright yellow figure.

This sudden change caused the expressions of several family heads to change drastically, especially when they saw the man wearing the emperor's robe and crown. Behind the tall and straight figure, there was even a look of horror.

"Li Changqing!"

Zheng's clan leader said in shock. At the same time, he turned his attention to the imperial guards who looked extraordinary, and said in confusion:"Didn't all the armies be sent out? Where did he come from?"

"Why are you panicking? They are just the imperial guards of the imperial city!"

The head of the Wang clan looked cold. They have a well-equipped army of 100,000 people. Are they still afraid of a mere 30,000 Imperial Guards?

When many people saw Li Changqing, they all cheered.

"Your Majesty comes out to plunder the formation and will definitely kill the rebels!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Kill the rebels!"

……

Hearing these simple voices, Li Changqing felt warm in his heart and said with a smile:"No one knows what you are thinking. Please go back to the city. Mere rebels are nothing to worry about."

In response to Li Changqing's orders, the people followed Li Changqing's orders. He quickly returned to the city, leaving only the two armies confronting each other.

"The clan leaders gave me a big surprise. I didn’t know it yet, but it turns out that our Tang Dynasty has an army of 700,000."

Li Changqing looked at the army under the city, his face had returned to coldness, and he said calmly.

The sarcasm and murderous intent in his voice were obvious.

The Li clan leader sneered:"Li Changqing, it was you who forced us to take this step. If I had known this, We should have fully supported Li Shimin's rise to power from the beginning, instead of letting you, a man with a different surname, take over the world!"

"But it’s not too late now. The Li family of Longxi and the Li Tang clan share the same origin. I, the Li family of Longxi, can also sit on this throne!"

Hearing this, Li Changqing sneered:"I have been waiting for you for a long time to take this step, otherwise there is really no reason to uproot you."

"Today, I will completely dig out the cancer of the Tang Dynasty like you!"

The faces of the family heads were ugly, and the head of the Lu family said angrily:"Arrogant! A mere 30,000 Imperial Guards want to stop an army of 100,000 like me? Shuzi suffers death!"

With an order, the 100,000-strong army officially launched the attack!

Li Changqing waved his imperial robe and crown, and now he seemed to have become the Martial King who commanded thousands of armies. With eyes like lightning, he drew out the sharp sword from his waist and shouted:"Datang cavalry, charge!"

Tens of thousands of Imperial Guards roared in unison:

"kill——！！！"
