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

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was great chaos, warlords separated their regimes, and princes fought for hegemony. The land of Kyushu was in turmoil.

The Turks who were entrenched in the grasslands and the Tubo who lived on the plateau were all eager to bite off a piece of meat from the land of the Han family.

Youzhou was an important border area of ​​the Tang Dynasty. Once it falls, the Turkic cavalry can march straight in and wreak havoc in the hinterland of the Central Plains, with disastrous consequences.

Before Li Yuan ascended the throne, he sent Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to Youzhou many times to guard against Turks.

But in several confrontations with the Turks, they could not gain the upper hand.

Now that the Tang Empire was founded, all kinds of wastes were rising, people's livelihood was declining, and they needed to recuperate and recuperate.

After three years, he regained his glory and was no longer afraid of mere foreigners.

If Li Changqing is in charge of Youzhou, he can keep the border safe and buy valuable time for the Tang Dynasty to recuperate.

"Rumble——"

Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and rolling thunder seemed to explode in my ears.

Immediately afterwards, everyone heard shocking roars and shouts of death coming from outside Xuanwu Gate.

When everyone's expressions changed drastically, bursts of heavy and passionate war drums sounded.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Outside the city gate, war drums beat and horse hooves flew.

The elite white-robed army siege troops, under the command of Li Jing, conquered the imperial city!

The Xuanwumen defenders, the Nanya Army and the Beiya Forbidden Army, were all transferred away by Li Jiancheng. The prince's guard Chang Lin Bing was left behind.

Now, only half of the two thousand Chang Lin soldiers were killed by Li Changqing, and all of them were frightened and leaned against the city wall fearfully. The undefended Xuanwu Gate was quickly The white-robed army broke through.

The moment the city gate fell, three mighty generals rushed in.

One of the generals, with a face as black as coal, took the lead and shouted:"Yuchi Jingde is here, Prince, don't hurt my lord."!"

Beside Li Yuan, Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, turned pale with fright at the scene before him. He blocked Li Yuan with his body and shouted:"Guard you!"

Rows of forbidden troops immediately held horizontal knives and spears to protect Li Yuan.

The imperial city was breached, and a group of ferocious soldiers rushed into Xuanwu Gate. Li Yuan did not seem to be afraid at all.

After breaking into Xuanwu Gate, Yu Chigong and Cheng Yao When Jin, Qin Qiong and others saw the tragic and bloody scene inside, their hearts tightened. When they saw Li Changqing, who was standing straight and stained with blood on his white robe, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Cheng Yaojin asked in a loud voice Said:"General! Are you OK?"

Li Changqing looked at the white-robed army that had occupied the imperial city, as well as the few old subordinates in front of him who were willing to die in order to rescue him. He was very moved in his heart, but he still had a majestic look on his face and shouted:

"We are storming the imperial city and disturbing the Holy Master. Please retreat quickly!"

Yu Chigong and the others were startled, and then they saw Li Yuan wearing a dragon robe not far away.

They immediately understood that Li Changqing had passed the danger of being ambushed, and one by one they got off their horses and saluted Li Yuan.

Li Yuan said expressionlessly:" Without my permission, you led troops into the city, stormed the Xuanwu Gate, and occupied the imperial city. Could it be that you wanted to rebel!"

Yuchi Gong and the other three lowered their heads, and their voices were neither humble nor arrogant:"I don't dare, general!"

"Father! Li Changqing took a step forward, bowed and said,"Jingde and the others must have learned that my son was ambushed by the deposed prince, so they acted recklessly and led troops to rescue him." Please ask Father, for the sake of their savior’s eagerness, not to argue with them! Li

Xiuning, who was next to Li Yuan, also quickly stood up and said:"Father, the White Robe Army was founded by the sixth brother and his daughter. Jingde, Zhijie, and Shubao are the old generals of Tiance Mansion. They are loyal to the Tang Dynasty and are extremely loyal to the Tang Dynasty." No intention of rebellion!"

"Ha ha ha ha——"

Suddenly, Li Yuan burst out laughing. Everyone thought this was a sign of his anger, and everyone looked solemn.

But who knows, Li Yuan not only did not get angry, but looked at Li Changqing with admiration and said:"Since you led the army, Changqing, you have lived and died with the soldiers. In every battle, you have taken the lead and killed the enemy with blood.

You treat your subordinates Soldiers are like brothers, they are also willing to die for you, but they dare to storm the imperial city and risk treason and beheading to save you.

How can I blame them for such loyal and courageous soldiers who dare to die for the savior?."

At this moment, Li Yuan was very envious of Li Changqing.

Since the uprising in Jinyang, he has been surrounded by interest groups, with many schemes and intrigues among them.

He had never experienced the pure righteousness of Li Changqing and his soldiers.

With a wave of his dragon robe, Li Yuan turned around and walked towards Tai Chi Hall, while saying:

"With the order, the generals of the left and right guards of the Nanya Army and the commander of the Beiya Forbidden Army should be arrested, removed from their official positions, and the Tianlao should be scrutinized strictly! The white-robed dragon cavalry guards are temporarily stationed in the imperial city to protect the safety of the imperial city."

The Dragon Cavalry Guards are the elite cavalry in the White Robe Army. They are composed of 5,000 people. They are all brave and good at fighting. They are the real tiger and wolf divisions. The

Nanya Guards and the Beiya Forbidden Army that originally guarded the imperial city were actually killed by the deposed prince Li Jiancheng. Transferred.

Without a thorough investigation, Li Yuan would be terrified even while living in the palace. When the white-robed army stormed the imperial city to rescue Li Changqing, he would not feel threatened, but would only appreciate Li Changqing's way of leading the army more.

Because he knew in his heart , Li Changqing had no intention of rebellion.

But the Nanya Guards and the Beiya Forbidden Army guarding the palace were supposed to only obey his orders, but they were mobilized by Li Jiancheng, which made him shudder.

As soon as Li Yuan issued these two orders, Li Daozong was shocked and said quickly:"Your Majesty! How can the safety of the imperial city be left to the Dragon Cavalry Guards?"

Li Daozong is Li Yuantang's nephew and has a very good relationship with Li Shimin.

Now that Li Jiancheng has been deposed, it is almost certain that Li Shimin will be the next prince.

If the dragon cavalry guards are to be stationed in the imperial city, it is neither him nor Li Shimin's wish.

Who knows , As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuan became furious:"How can I allow you to question my words!

Li Daozong was frightened and quickly lowered his head,"I don't dare!" Li

Yuan flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, saying:"Jian Jiancheng, Shimin, is my most outstanding son." But what they are thinking about is the Ninth Five Supreme Throne!

Only Changqing, the adopted son, thinks of his family, country, and people. Half of the Tang Dynasty was conquered by him.

If he has the intention to rebel, who can stop the 80,000 white-robed troops outside Xuanwu Gate?"

……

Outside the imperial city, Li Shimin ordered the Xuanjia Army to retreat with a gloomy face.

"The sixth brother was so brave that even two thousand Changlin soldiers could not spare his life! Li Jing and others were loyal and brave to protect the Lord, but they dared to risk death to attack the imperial city! Auxiliary aircraft, now the city is full of white-robed troops. It's a pity that I missed the perfect opportunity to have a baby! Changsun

Wuji gently stroked his long beard and said very calmly:"King Qin, don't be upset, and there is no need to feel sorry." Instead, this is the time for us to clap our hands and celebrate.

Li Shimin frowned and asked,"What does the auxiliary machine mean by this?"

Changsun Wuji said:"Li Jiancheng was deposed, and the crown prince's position is vacant." Now, no one is qualified to compete with you, King Qin, for the throne.

Compared with the previous method of killing the prince and forcing His Majesty to abdicate, this method is gentler and will not be criticized by the world in the future.

After all, no matter how General Tiance wins His Majesty's favor, this Li Tang kingdom will eventually be passed on to the descendants of his bloodline. Congratulations to King Qin, after today, you will have no worries anymore."

Hearing Changsun Wuji's analysis, Li Shimin suddenly became enlightened, and the gloom between his eyebrows gradually dissipated.

He laughed twice and said:"King Qi died and the prince was deposed. At this moment, my father must be heartbroken and grieved.. Auxiliary machine, follow me into the palace to comfort my father."
