Chapter 137 Reappearance of the Xuanwu Sect, Li Shimins will!
at the same time.
At this moment, the south gate of Chang'an City has been fully opened.
Comrades from twelve cities in the south, the densely packed carriage team, although it looks shabby, with dark faces and dust, there is no confusion in the formation.
Under the leadership of the guard captains, we entered Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
Everyone, all the carriage teams, began to enter the city in an orderly manner.
The local soldiers of Chang'an City guarding the city gate looked at the panicked and frightened faces. The moment they entered the city, they all showed bright smiles, which touched their hearts.
I fled all the way north for more than half a month, struggling with hunger and cold every moment, and were often attacked by wild beasts.
Every time locusts attack, the sky is completely blackened, causing countless people to feel trembling and can only live in fear.
Every time the soldiers fought back, their arrows were shot to the point of numbness, and their swords were swung to the point of weakness. After the battle, everything as far as the eye could see was covered with sores.
The surrounding flowers, plants and trees died and withered under the fighting.
Although locusts do not harm humans, the pressure they exert casts a shadow on the sky, making people unable to forget their fear.
The people fleeing in the south all feel that they will die in the next moment, as if they are facing a constant death crisis, which has already made them exhausted, overwhelmed and full of despair.
But at this moment, at this moment when we arrive at Chang'an City!
Hope is rekindled on their faces and eyes!
Chang'an City was the capital of the Tang Dynasty. The people in the south would only choose to blindly believe in the soldiers of Chang'an. They believed that Chang'an City, with its outstanding people and outstanding people, would definitely be able to defeat such natural disasters!
At this moment, on the top wall of the city, the generals who had fled the army were also approaching. Including the man before, a total of eleven people came to the wall.
There was also unconcealable fear in their eyes.
At this time, from a barracks at the south gate of Chang'an City, which was closest to the city gate and on the line between the sea and the sky, the sound of vast footsteps suddenly rose up.
Even though they were hundreds of meters away, they could hear it clearly.
There, the figures gradually became clearer and the sounds became louder and louder. Finally, the local Chang'an soldiers with resolute faces appeared in front of them one after another.
Looking at their faces, there is no wave in the ancient well. They are like an army forged with iron and blood, illuminating the hearts of the desperate generals little by little, so that they will not despair and start to have full confidence in Chang'an City.
Likewise, it also brings an unprecedented sense of pressure to everyone.
It's getting closer, this army is getting closer.
Finally, under the field of vision and above the horizon, an extremely orderly and well-disciplined army appeared in front of everyone.
The strictness of this army is unmatched by other major armies in the south. It is an elite army that truly belongs only to Chang'an City.
All the soldiers guarding the south city wall nervously clenched their weapons and looked into the distance, their pupils contracted, they had difficulty breathing, and their mountain jumps accelerated.
Some timid soldiers even had their legs trembling and their faces turned pale.
Many of the young people of this generation in Chang'an City have never been on the battlefield, and those responsible for guarding the city walls are the new recruits among the new soldiers.
At most, they followed one hunting team after another and went out of the city to hunt rabbits around Chang'an City.
When have you ever seen such an iron-blooded scene?
Have you ever seen such an army with murderous intent on its face?
Even the generals of Chang'an City, Qin Shubao, Li Jing and others, looked slightly shaken at this moment, and their hearts suddenly accelerated.
They haven't taken action for too long, and their former enthusiasm has gradually cooled down due to their pampering.
But unlike them, all the generals who had escaped took a step together and looked at the endless empty land outside Chang'an City, as if there was something terrible there.
Only by experiencing the kind of battle that is almost desperate can one understand their mood at this moment.
Locusts that can darken the sky are sweeping in, and they can only fight!
That is the madness of not stopping until death, even to the point of biting a locust!!
In this kind of battle, death is ignored. When you are afraid, you might as well worry about not being able to kill a few more locusts to reduce the pressure of food being ravaged.
"locust!!"
A southern general roared wildly, his eyes were bloodshot, almost crazy, and his hatred was overwhelming.
He hates it so much!
His son, wife, and descendants all died in this silent war. They died on the road because there was no extra food. Only he, Xun Yan, survived.
Even to this day, he still clearly remembers the look in his wife's eyes when she was dying.
Those eyes are full of despair! It is the despair of not wanting to die, but can only die unwillingly!
This kind of look tortured him night after night, making him almost crazy and wanting to commit suicide.
He was shouting madly and furiously. Next to him, General Mingming from the south, also had overwhelming hatred and terrifying murderous intent, which almost blended into his soul, filling the air with crazy murderous intent.
…………
at the same time.
The fifth surname is Qiwang, Zheng family.
The city of Chang'an underwent great changes, and thirteen trumpets were blown. Perhaps ordinary people did not know what the real threat was.
But it’s impossible for the officials with five surnames and seven looks in high positions not to know!!
They had already sent the news back to the aristocratic family and informed the family head, letting them know that the threat to Chang'an City was just locusts, locusts that did not harm human life and only took food.
It's not some unfounded Turkic or Tuyuhun thing.
After hearing everything, the head of the Zheng family chuckled, "God helps me, God helps me!"
The representative of the Lu family frowned and asked: "Master Zheng, what do you mean by this? When the locusts attack, we can't protect ourselves."
Zheng Xun, the head of the Zheng family, glanced at the speaker and said calmly: "It is true that we cannot survive alone, but we can use the prestige of the locust to get His Majesty to hand over Qin Wenyuan!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this point, everyone present was shocked.
Zheng Xun did not whet his appetite. He looked at his personal bodyguard and said, "Ah Fu, let's talk to all the adults."
"clear!"
Ah Fu nodded and walked out from his original position, came to Taichung, met everyone's eyes, neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly: "Everyone, after investigation by our Zheng family, the food left in Chang'an City is enough to support Chang'an.
The city runs for about half a month."
"But...a few days ago, Yu Chigong took away a large amount of food, and today, your Majesty ordered General Li Jing to treat the southern refugees favorably."
"After such consumption of food, there is only less than half a day left."
"In other words, if we don't help today, Chang'an City will have a food crisis!"
After the words fell, everyone completely understood.
It turns out that Zheng Xun wanted to take advantage of this trend to make Li Shimin bow his head.
There is no food today, and with people in panic, who can still have the enthusiasm to deal with the locust disaster tomorrow?
When all the family heads thought about it, it turned out that it was just like what Zheng Xun said, everything was because of God's help!!
The representative of the Lu family laughed and said, "It seems that if His Majesty is united to deal with the locust plague, he will have to hand over Qin Wenyuan."
"However, we cannot sit still and wait for news."
"We also have to take some actions to speed up the time for His Majesty to compromise with us."
Zheng Xun raised his eyebrows, "How to do this?"
The representative of the Lu family smiled slightly. He did not answer immediately. Instead, he took the quilt tea and drank it, which really whetted his appetite to the extreme.
The next moment, he spoke: "First, spread rumors to let the people in Chang'an City and the people in the south know that there is no food left in the city, only among our aristocratic families."
"Secondly, publicize the notice to let the people know that as long as they go to the Qin Mansion and attack the demon doctor Qin Wenyuan, they will have food to eat."
After the words fell, everyone thought for a moment and agreed to the proposal.
Faced with the catastrophe, they all unanimously proposed to deal with Qin Wenyuan first!
In the eyes of the aristocratic families, locusts harm food and are indeed deadly, but they cost the lives of ordinary people.
But Qin Wenyuan wanted to kill the children of their family again!
They cannot tolerate that a person who is hostile to a noble family can gain the respect of everyone in the world.
If that happens one day, it will definitely be a devastating blow to their family.
The most important influence of the family was taken away by one person. This is something they absolutely cannot tolerate.
Qin Wenyuan, who is hostile to the family, has this potential, so they want to kill Qin Wenyuan!
…………
Two hours later, the palace.
"boom!!"
After serving the teacup, it was smashed to the ground, but none of the eunuchs kneeling below dared to look directly at the figure above.
They stood silently kneeling on the ground, looking at the ground, not daring to raise their heads at all.
Because, the one who is angry now is the former emperor, Li Shimin!
"These aristocratic families are really bullying people too much."
"Even though a disaster is approaching, you still want to protect the food!"
Li Shimin was so furious that he really wanted to pull out all these aristocratic families.
These people are really the cancer of Chang'an City!
Wei Zheng saw this and took a step forward, cupping his hands and sighing: "Your Majesty, how should we resolve this situation?"
"After all, now, all the notices in Chang'an City say that the treasury is out of food. Some people are already very panicked. If they don't want to come up with a solution, we will be completely in chaos before the locusts come."
When Li Shimin heard this, he kept taking deep breaths and exhaling. He was really extremely angry.
These aristocratic families will release food as long as Qin Wenyuan dies.
As the king of a country, he knew why as long as Qin Wenyuan died.
Because Qin Wenyuan can bring an end to the era of the aristocratic family!
Whether it is a plow or a strategy for governing the country, once it develops, it will definitely make the influence of the family weaker and weaker.
Therefore, it is because Qin Wenyuan is so powerful that it is even more impossible for him to hand over his son-in-law Qin Wenyuan.
But……
If we don't hand it over, the city of Chang'an, which has stood firm for several years, will be thrown into chaos due to panic.
For a moment, Li Shimin couldn't make a choice.
At this moment, even Wei Zheng, who had always spoken for Qin Wenyuan, began to prefer handing over Qin Wenyuan.
Qin Wenyuan is indeed powerful, but Chang'an City is the capital of the country and attracts the attention of all people in the world. There must be no chaos!
Once chaos breaks out, some rebellious ministers and traitors will take action, and they may directly rebel and raise troops. Protecting Qin Wenyuan is equivalent to pushing the five surnames and seven hopes to oppose the royal family.
When rebellion occurs, it is bound to happen that they abandon the Li Tang royal family and choose to support the rebellious officials and traitors.
This is inevitable!
Because Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty fell like this.
The impact of this incident is really too bad.
Li Shimin also understood the stakes of the matter. If he didn't handle it well, his throne would be in jeopardy.
After a while, he breathed out heavily, "I still choose not to hand over to Qin Wenyuan."
"Your Majesty, this..." Wei Zheng was a little stunned.
Li Shimin smiled helplessly, "I have been an emperor for so long, and I have learned the art of checks and balances, as well as how to handle national affairs, but I have never been a qualified father."
"Today, just think that I am willful once. I owe that girl Li Zhi a lot. This time, just think that I will help her for the last time."
At this point, Li Shimin's soft eyes suddenly became cold and silent, and he said deeply: "Wei Zheng!"
Wei Zheng didn't dare to ask for help, so he took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty is here!"
Li Shimin said seriously: "We have no control over the notice in Chang'an City. The people also know that there is no surplus food in Chang'an City, so they are unlikely to attack the Qin government."
"Go to the Qin Mansion quickly and inform Qin Wenyuan, asking him to lead Li Zhi away immediately, leave Chang'an City, and leave this... place of right and wrong."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "After you left, I decided to summon Shu Bao and others to wipe out the five surnames and Qi Wang one by one!"
"From now on, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to take a good look at the beauty. Let Qin Wenyuan treat the beauty well and never let her down."
Li Shimin's sinister eyes flashed, he knew that the Xuanwu Sect incident was so cruel in the past, and he was ready to start it again for the sake of his daughter!
Since chaos in Chang'an City is inevitable, he doesn't mind adding to the chaos and completely eradicating the five surnames and Qi Wang who are always trying to get in trouble.
Then seize the food, just like destroying the seedlings and encouraging them to grow, and solve the immediate crisis first.
After saying this, Wei Zheng hesitated and did not dare to step forward to talk.
Li Shimin's move completely pushed Wu Xing Qi Wang into his opposition.
When the locust plague is over, he will have no time at all.
Because there is no way to solve the locust disaster, even if Li Shimin solves the problem of five surnames and seven hopes and obtains food, Chang'an City will not have enough food, hundreds of thousands of people will starve to death, and Li Shimin will lose his heart.
At that time, having lost the support of the people, he not only had to deal with the counterattack by the children of the other families of the Five Surnames and Qiwang, but also had to deal with the possible rebellious officials and traitors who were about to appear.
The Tang Dynasty will eventually fall into war again.
He... indeed has no time to see his daughter Li Lizhi!
Because at that time, he will put on the long-lasting war robe and conquer the world again!
Only this time, he is protecting his own world!
"Wei Zheng, can you obey my order?" Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng with eyes like an eagle.
Looking at this look, Wei Zheng suddenly understood Li Shimin's determination.
He had served Li Shimin for many years and already knew his habits and personality well.
This look means that the order cannot be changed!
"My lord, I understand."
Wei Zheng cupped his hands and bowed.
This bow was extremely long, just like sending off the last emperor.
After bowing, he didn't dare to look at Li Shimin, and turned around and left without looking back.
At this moment, facing the food disaster in Chang'an City, Li Shimin may not be a qualified emperor, but he is definitely a qualified father.
