After hearing the Qin army's general's promise, the imperial edict officer retreated to the "Raole" city with the Qin army's brigade.
Such a major event is short in words, but it took nearly a day to complete it. After the army dispersed, thousands of Xu soldiers were left to clean up the battlefield. Seeing the warriors lying on the battlefield everywhere, they all felt great sadness and hatred.
He destroyed the family for his own selfish interests, even at the expense of the lives of many soldiers...
When the head of the Zhe family heard that thousands of his soldiers had become prisoners of the Qin family, he regretted his hasty decision. However, there is no regret medicine in this world. Seriously; if you steal a chicken, you lose a handful of rice, but if you lose your wife, you lose a lot of rice.
Soldiers! Now we can only try our best to implement remedial measures. How can we make Qin Wenyuan release so many soldiers who have lost their families?
In view of this situation, Zhe Chong no longer cared about any face, so he quickly reported his request to the emperor to rescue the Zhe family army to the imperial court. At the same time, he secretly ordered the Zhe army stationed in the Hexi Corridor to withdraw and contact the two soldiers still in Chang'an City.
Young Master, look for an opportunity to meet Qin Wenyuan, the King of Qi, so that he can rescue the eldest Young Master Zhe Zongben no matter what the cost.
In the palace of Chang'an City, Li Shimin received the memorials submitted by the proclaimer and Zhe Chong respectively. He learned that Zhe's army was captured on the "Raole" front line, and Zhe Chong begged the emperor to order Qin Wenyuan to release the prisoners.
The incident spread throughout the court, and Qin Wenyuan and Prince Li Zhi were summoned to the royal study.
When Li Shimin received the memorial, Qin Wenyuan already knew the battle situation on the front line and was thinking about how to deal with the captives. When he heard the emperor summoned him, he put on court clothes and went to the palace to meet him.
In the imperial study room, Li Shimin handed over the memorial to his family and asked Li Shimin to read it and said.
"How should his eldest son deal with the prisoners of the Zhe family?"
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and explained all the thoughts he had clarified in the mansion.
"Your Majesty, the eldest son thought that the Qin army was already suitable to continue to lead the Zhe family army, so why did he take this opportunity to make his second son Zhe join Ruan's army in frontier fortress, making it a barrier to the north of Xiaotang. Zhe followed Ruan, who was a versatile man in both civil and military affairs.
Although he ranked seventh in the martial arts competition in the second school, his overall ability was not superior to that of the first martial arts champion. What is rare is that, according to what the eldest son heard, the man who had been a hero for many years from Ruan Meizi, was young.
Even though I am an adult, I have already made my mark. I will definitely become a leader in the army in the future. If Zhe De is used as a hostage in Chang'an City, the eldest son can consider releasing the Zhejia prisoners, otherwise, there will be no need to discuss anything."
When Zhe Congruan Er heard Prince Qi's laughter and kind words, he felt free and easy and relaxed before speaking.
"General Zhe's words are serious! I intend to take the Zhe family under someone's command. Master Zhe will remember the oath he swore today. The Zhe family's army will still serve as a barrier to the north of Xiaotang and serve the country. In the current situation, he is in Chang'an City
Wait a few days for me to report to His Majesty. At that time, I will go to the Zhejia along with the decree. Where the Zhejia is stationed, my subordinates will contact him to ensure that the young master takes over the Zhejia smoothly."
On the upper floor of the city gate of "Fuzhou" where the Zhe family resides, the current head of the Zhe family, the Zhe army leads the Qin army with armor and stomach, and leads dozens of Zhe army generals to welcome the imperial envoys announced by the imperial court.
Zhe Congruan said goodbye. He left the "Prince Qi's Mansion" in a simple mood. He walked out of the small door, looked up to the sky and sighed out the turbidity in his heart. He looked at the clouds in the sky, which were constantly changing. At that time, he had no idea in his mind.
The lower-level members of the Zhe family who did not listen to the order were shocked and panicked when they heard that the Qin army had committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.
The concubine's decision was very concealed.
Poor Zhe Zongben was already mentally exhausted at this time. When he saw his seventh brother, he could not help but burst into tears.
I gave up long ago, thinking that I would be separated from my family, but I never expected to see the light of day again.
This is Li Shimin's wishful thinking. As long as the Zhe family's envoy Zhe De is pledged in Chang'an, the uncle is not sure that he will accept the ideas he has instilled. He has a grasp of the lifeline of the children of the Zhe family. With a little trick, how can he make the seven children of the Zhe family
The young master obeyed his advice and made it work for the Qin family.
Zhe issued the first military order to take charge of the Zhe family from Ruan Dang, the eunuch who delivered the order. It felt like a real thing. In the past, he had always stood and listened to his father's orders, but now, he was the master of the Zhe family.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shimin sent his personal guards to take Zhe Zongben out of the dungeon, and handed him over to Young Master Zhe Qi outside the palace hall.
In addition to the subtle atmosphere of depression, fullness and helplessness under the hall, there was no report from the defenders at the city gate.
That guy had no idea that things would change like this. With my decades of experience in the world, I knew that my son must have reached some kind of deal with the court.
Before meeting the emperor, the next day, Ruan went to "Fuzhou" with the eunuchs who were surrounded by dozens of forbidden troops to announce the edict. At the same time, Li Shimin sent an order to the garrison far away in "Songmo" City to escort the prisoners of war to the jurisdiction of "Fuzhou" and present the troops.
Lincheng launched a campaign to put pressure on the Zhe family.
A few days ago, the emperor summoned Zhe Congruan in the palace and talked about making him the leader of the Zhe family. He told him to send his son Zhe De to the capital and study in the "Guozijian" under special privileges.
The seven of them met in the hall and followed Ruan Xiaoli to pay homage to Li Shimin.
"All the generals will follow you to the city tower to greet General Zhe!"
Zhe Congruan's visit to Li Shimin today was exactly at the request of his father Li Qun. He wanted to take the opportunity to pay a visit to Li Shimin, so that Prince Qi made a condition for the release of the captive Zhe family army.
"Since ancient times, those who want to do small things should not worry too much, and they should be successful! Master Zhe Qi went back and thought hard about what I said today. If you want to understand, you can come here to find me at any time within seven days.
, if there is no difficulty, you can raise it, and I will settle it for him."
"This matter is complicated. Since Young Master Zhe Qi has made up his mind to take over the leadership of the Zhe family, I, of course, cannot help Young Master Zhe Qi establish prestige in the family. First, His Majesty must make an order for the young master to inherit the right to lead the army of the Zhe family.
Secondly, in addition to releasing the soldiers who were still captured by the Xu army, the young master Zhe has lost all his strength but is in danger of his life. The seventh master Zhe can be taken away and left to his disposal. After that, I sent a military order to Song Mo
The defenders are not well prepared to assist the young master in his dethronement. If the Zhe family is still subdued and coaxing, the Qin family army will certainly launch an action to put pressure on the young master when the master needs it. However, the king will have to put the ugly words behind him.
Before Young Master Zhe Qi takes over the small power of the demolition family, he must be ungrateful and become my enemy, otherwise, even if I can support him in his demotion, I will also put the young master into a situation of embarrassment on all sides."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Before Zhe Congruan left, Li Shimin did not pay much attention to this matter. From my point of view, although Zhe Congruan had too few interactions, he did not
Ambition, a talent without ideas, and a willingness to live an outstanding life.
That is; "Once you take power, you will carry out your orders!"
"A daughter should act without doing anything, and the most taboo thing about playing chess is to act determinedly. This is the mentality of a woman. She believes that the right thing in her heart should be done at all costs, even if she will be criticized, or even accused or something.
Life, of course, chooses its pros and cons. How can one's own thoughts, or ideals, be constrained by other people's opinions? I'm afraid that when I understand this truth, it will be too late! At this time, I am a hero.
My breasts are filled with tears and my eggs are gone. I can only blame myself while watching the sunset. The emotional pain is really desolate."
After taking a leisurely sip of fragrant tea, Li Shimin continued.
"Young Master Zhe Qi, please don't be polite. You showed off your talents in the school competition, and I admire you very much. I came here today because I know that I have nothing to give you. I am all ears."
"Young Master Zhe Qi is wrong! Today he spoke out his father Qin Jun's intention at my palace, but did he ever think about how he should deal with such a reasonable request from this king? It's difficult for him to make the seventh master Zhe Qin."
Have you ever thought of taking charge of the Zhe family? It's just a matter of hiding it from the Seventh Young Master. His eldest brother is now in my hands. It's a bad time for the Seventh Young Master to step down. If the Seventh Young Master has no such idea, I will have no choice but to release him.
He is a prisoner of the family, and he cannot leave his eldest brother at his mercy."
The seven days were up, and Ruan Guoren went to the "Prince Qi's Mansion" to meet Li Shimin again.
Seeing Zhe Congruan groaning in silence, the expressions on his face were ever-changing, as if he was struggling in his heart.
After a long time, Li Shimin finally guessed what the man was thinking. He had no intention of taking over but was afraid of being accused of filial piety and righteousness.
Li Shimin helped the guy up and said with a smile.
The Emperor and Li Shimin had a secret meeting outside the imperial study and reached a consensus. The Emperor ordered the Cavalry Division to look for the traces of Ruan Zhe, who had not accepted the official position from the imperial court before the martial arts competition, and brought him to the palace to see him. At that time, together with the court officials, he
And went to Zhejia to announce the decree.
Ruan Jiang kept Li Shimin's words in his mind over and over again, making it difficult to make a decision.
Li Shimin waved his hand and motioned for Master Zhe Qi to sit down and talk. When Zhe Congruan explained the purpose of his visit, he smiled and said.
In November of the 18th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, in the golden autumn season, flags were fluttering on the official road from the capital to "Fuzhou", but the imperial guards with bright armor and stomach surrounded the eunuch who announced the decree, followed Ruan and led a small team of dozens of guards to gallop all the way.
.
"Nah! I'm trying to find traces of that guy, but it's all a waste of time."
"The general has successfully taken over the Zhe family. He should remember the kindness of the prince, hold his whip and stirrup to give birth to the prince, and swear to be the prince's army!"
There was a row of incense eucalyptus outside the yamen, and Li Qun led everyone in the family to push the jade pillar down from the golden mountain to pay homage to the emperor's decree. When the eunuch finished announcing the decree, Qin Jun's face changed slightly, and he glared at the second son with an angry look.
Zhe Congruan knew the emperor's intention, but his arm was twisted past his calf. If he wanted to achieve something, if he could even do that, then it would be necessary for me to hang out in the court, and it would be possible for me to control a force.
How did Qin Wenyuan know about Li Shimin's far-reaching thoughts? He thought that the eldest son was thinking about the country of Xiaotang, so he said sadly.
After the guy finished speaking, Li Shimin said with a dull expression before letting out a "haha" smile.
"Your Majesty, the general has decided to take over the Zhe family. In fact, it is not because of power, but because it is time for the Zhe family to change its thinking. However, it is not easy to achieve this. There is internal strife in the Zhe family.
The Zhe family is in turmoil at the turn of the old and new, but that is the outcome that the general wants to see. Such concerns, whether the prince can solve the general's doubts, and how to achieve stability, will damage the foundation of the family.
Let’s put this matter forward.”
On the city tower, the father and son of the Zhe family gathered together. Qin Jun looked at the eldest son, who was already a disabled person, and the second son, whose face was less solemn. His heart was very simple. Before seeing the eunuchs who had seen the imperial edict, he led a small team to retreat into the "Fuzhou" city.
Li Shimin laughed at the guy for being so indecisive, so he couldn't help but continue.
"Report...! Li Qun escorted General Zhe Lixing and several thousand others to the city tower, asking Zhe to meet Mr. Ruan."
Qin Jun also looked at his son without interest. I wanted to see how virtuous and capable the eldest son was, how dare he leave his father and brother alone.
Hearing these earth-shattering words from King Qi Li Shimin, Zhe Congruan was not only shocked, but also aroused the ambition that he had often thought about but never dared to express. He thought that in Zhe's family, he often failed to revitalize the family.
Pertinent advice, but because of the pressure from his father and brother, he was given the tools and all his cold blood was wasted.
The guy was a bachelor at this time. He stood up, knelt down on one knee and worshiped Li Shimin with military salute, and whispered.
"Your Majesty's words are true; you must kill the last general!"
Judging from the expression on the guy's face, Li Shimin already knew the answer, and he smiled and waited for the guy to speak.
Outside the hall, when the generals of the Zhe family heard Zhe follow Ruan's orders, they all looked at the commander Li Qun without making any move, and took the military orders of the Seventh Young Master Zhe seriously.
Li Qunhe said with a smile.
Speaking of this, Li Shimin actually wanted to wake up Zhe Congruan, make him understand his attitude, and see the bad intentions of that guy taking over the Zhe family.
When Li Shimin returned to his residence in the palace, there was no master who presented him with the name of the Seven Young Masters and asked for an audience.
The answer is: "When Jiang Taigong is fishing, sit still on the fishing platform! Just wait for the fish to take the hook."
According to the law of the Xiao Tang Dynasty, the father's title should be inherited by the eldest son. If the elder brother is wise, it would be better to pay off the younger one. It means that there is no successor in the family. However, the eldest brother insists on going his own way. He acts based on his own badness and is ruthless.
It's about getting other people's opinions, and then thinking about the consequences of what you do will bring to the family. That kind of personality is similar to that of his father.
Zhe Cong Ruan knelt down to worship Li Shimin, uu read a book
"Yes! Then he will implement his eldest son's idea. When the time comes, I will give the decree to reprimand the Qin army for not deceiving the emperor, using the second son to compete on behalf of the eldest son, allowing the eldest son to assassinate important ministers of the court, and causing the army to move without permission. He will be removed from the military post.
As a punishment, he was allowed to live in seclusion and think about his mistakes. Since Zhe Congruan, the second son of the Zhe family, is ranked seventh in martial arts this time, he deserves to be reused by the imperial court, so that he can control the Zhe family army and become the northern barrier of the imperial court."
"The last general will go from Ruan to see the King of Qi. The prince's reputation is like thunder and his family will be destroyed. If you see him today, the last general will be unlucky for the rest of his life."
Approaching the city of "Fuzhou", Wu Ping, the commander-in-chief of the Qin family's 70,000 cavalry, had already sent out scouts to get in touch with Young Master Zhe Qi.
Hearing the words of Li Qun and Enwei, Zhe Congruan was not surprised at all. I had already considered the price I wanted to pay for taking over the Zhe family. I knew very well that there was no one else in this world who would help me for a reason.
Put profit first.
At that time, Zhe Congruan had already accepted the order. It was up to him to control what the Zhe family thought. According to legal principles, he was the new head of the Zhe family.
Li Shimin had clearly seen what was going on in that guy's mind, and knew that he could make a decision right away. He thought that the guy was so impatient for what he said today, but it made people have no concerns about his character, and he was too courageous.
As a wise and reckless man, he felt at ease when he saw that the guy kept mumbling, exactly what he wanted to see.
Li Shimin was very happy and asked someone to bring the seventh son of the family to meet him in the hall.
