"Your Majesty, the imperial court must not agree to the harsh conditions proposed by Xu Tian. Chai Rong led his army in Bingzhou to commit misdeeds. He has committed the crime of treason and should have implicated the nine tribes. How can he be punished by being demoted to a commoner?
Reduce major issues into small matters and place the dignity of the imperial court. In view of the current situation, it is better for the emperor to order the soldiers and horses from all over the world to attack the Niangziguan garrison. Instead, I want to see how Qin Wenyuan responds and whether he dares to lead his army to rebel against the imperial court."
When Yang Jixing, the Minister of Household Affairs, heard the report from Xu Jingzong, he hurriedly spoke, fearing that Li Zhi would get hot-headed and issue an order to escalate the situation.
"Your Majesty did not believe Mr. Xu's words. He thought that the treasonous crimes of Fang Yiai, Chai Lingwu, Xue Wanche, Li Yuanjing and others had not yet been completely resolved. Such news leaked, causing Fang Yiai and others to rebel against the decree and return to the capital. At this time, the imperial court ordered the world to
The army's crusade against Niangziguan led Qin Wenyuan to join the Niangziguan rebels with Fang Yiai and other rebels, and also sent an order to the Qin army in the Northeast and Qizhou for reinforcements. Wouldn't it cause chaos in the world? With the current situation, I think the emperor should choose
As for the priority, we might as well agree to the conditions proposed by Qin Wenyuan and first eliminate the threats posed by the Niangziguan rebels and the Qin army so that the court can have enough energy to solve the rebellion of Princess Gaoyang. After the matter is properly resolved, the court can then arrest Chai Rong.
It’s never too late to ask for guilt.”
Yang Jixing's words were a wise move to prevent the court from dealing with the rebellious military situation in both places at the same time, and were seconded by many ministers in the court.
Li Zhi heard what his two close ministers said, and when he was thinking about what to choose, the Qianniu Guards soldiers who were sent to "Prince Qi's Mansion" to capture Qin Wenyuan's family papers came outside the palace and asked the Imperial Guards on duty to inform the emperor about the capture of Qin Wenyuan's family papers.
.
When the letter soldiers were allowed to withdraw from the palace, and His Highness reported to "Prince Qi's Mansion" that Master Qin's family had resisted the order and resisted arrest, the letter soldiers did not delay reporting to Wang Fangyi that the enemy Xue Wanche had been seriously injured.
The news that Fei Xin was happy one after another also caused a group of military generals in the palace who were now trusted by the imperial court to make an uproar.
Qin Shiji, who had not served as the leading general of the seven dynasties of the imperial court, reported in a low voice on the golden palace with an angry look on his face.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Qin's eldest son has been unruly and docile since he entered the imperial court. He has resisted orders and resisted the imperial army on many occasions. His heart is to be punished. I requested an order to go to Prince Qi's Mansion to capture Mr. Qin's family papers. I would like to see the Xu family.
I don’t have much ability to dare to go against the old minister.”
"Old man Liu, don't talk nonsense. Since ancient times, it has been a disaster for your wife and children. Based on his evil words, I swear to give up on him."
"Why would that traitor of his kneel down and pay homage to me when he saw me?"
"How outrageous! He is now a commoner and dares to insult a court official. Could it be that he thinks Xue dares to do something to him?"
Li Zhi heard this and replied angrily.
Fei Xin said, and then said angrily.
…
When the new imperial army assigned by the Ministry of War to take over the defense of Niangziguan arrived, Gao Kan, the new general stationed at Niangziguan, met Fei Xinyou, Qin Wenyuan and other generals, and they all sent orders to Li Zhi to hand over the switch.
"Your Majesty, forgive me. I am not respectful to Your Majesty, but I despise what Qin Shiji said. Mr. Qin is not guilty and has nothing to do with his wife and children. Is it possible that the imperial court insists on provoking Qin?"
Does your anger bring harmony to your ruler and his ministers?"
Yi Ai, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, heard that what Xu Shiji said was consistent with his own views, and he went out to report it.
"His piece of shit is just a well-known person who got his military position by flattering, so he has no qualifications to be visited by the uncle. Go away as soon as possible so as not to anger the uncle. Otherwise, the uncle will behead him."
"Qin Xiaole, shut up! Will he dare to be so presumptuous after me? Do you think I'm a bad person?"
The gravity of those words made Qin Xiaole kneel down and speak.
Fei Xin issued eight oral orders in succession, and the relevant ministers of His Highness obeyed them. Fei Xin and other generals of His Highness felt that they were losing face based on these oral orders of Si Li. What was the contract with General Tie Le who had surrendered to Xiaotang before the Zhenguan period? When Qin Xiaole came in and out of the hall, Li actually followed him, and when he came out, he chirped in the Tai Chi hall.
Knowing who Fei Xin was scolding, Li Zhi heard it and asked his uncle why he had to kneel down and say it before.
"They can speak arrogantly about the Qin family. Although Mr. Qin behaves erratically and abides by the rules, he is loyal to the court. His Highness's remarks about the Qin family today will end here and will not be spread out of the palace."
"Does Fei Xinyou think he is General Qiben?"
"General Xue, please don't act rashly. This is the behavior of the garrison in Guanzhong, my wife, who wants to evacuate her family first after the guard of the pass has been handed over."
"My loyalty can be judged by the sun and the moon. Your Majesty said that I want to argue and offend the emperor's authority today. I will just let you do whatever you want."
Thinking clearly, you want to benefit the Qin family. Today is the opportunity. Now you can only exert pressure on Mr. Qin, but you have to use gentle tactics. Thinking of people at the peak of their pride will inevitably forget their appearance. This At that time, the imperial court had no chance of winning against the arrogant soldiers of the Qin family.
After Li Zhi heard the order, he led hundreds of sergeants on duty under the pass out of the pass in full robes. Mr. Qin, dressed in Taoist robes, accompanied the sergeants.
Qin Wenyuan heard from the sidelines that Li Zhi still dared to be so arrogant despite his current situation, so he couldn't even open his mouth to reprimand him.
"Your Majesty, the imperial court is too wary of Mr. Qin. Thinking about the Sui Dynasty, Qin Changqing took advantage and took advantage of the late emperor's free time to visit Licheng and gradually separatized Qizhou. Although the Qin family claimed to support him, The banner of the Tang Dynasty relied on its military strength to develop its own strength, and it was against the imperial court. I thought that the imperial court regarded the power of the Qin family as unshakable, but in front of my eyes, it was just an ant. In this way, the emperor's envoys led ten Wan Xiaojun threatens Qizhou, and then sends an army to Youzhou to assist Wei Xiaoren, so that Li Ze in the northeast must dare to act rashly. At this time, we can defeat them one by one and completely eliminate the threat of the Qin family to the imperial court."
Before Li Jing resigned, although Fei Xin scolded Qin Xiaole and other pillars of the Little Tang Army and the heroes worshiped by "Lingyan Pavilion" in court, he still had to consider Qin Xiaole's influence in the Little Tang Army. His Highness Xiao Le was full of words about the imperial court's arrest of the Qin family. Only then did Si Li realize that the decision he made in anger was indeed not the right one.
Li Zhi followed his uncle's advice and wrote a quick letter in his own hand. He summoned several of his confidants who were on the account and told them to stop him and hand over the letter when he passed by Feixin in Chang'an City.
"My uncle led troops to retreat from Chang'an and crippled Si Li's elder son. How can it be even worse if my uncle ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor?"
Chai Lingwu, Cheng Yaojin, Xue Rengui, Xu Tian and others received the emperor's order to withdraw from the capital. Because there was news of a warning from Chang'an City, several people actually doubted it. They all had luck in their hearts.
He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go to the capital to have a secret meeting with Princess Diyang and other party members, so as to further complete the usurpation and rebellion.
"Your Majesty, what Yang Jixing said is feasible, and I hope your Majesty will implement it accordingly."
"Fei Xin got up to talk. He wanted to tell me how to deal with this situation."
"Qin Xiaole went to Prince Qi's Mansion to bring back the Qianniu Guards sergeant, and ordered Xue Wanche to withdraw from the palace and see me."
"It was my order to capture Mr. Qin's family. Xue Wanche resisted the order and injured a court official, which is already a serious crime. There is nothing wrong with Old General Liu sharing my worries. It's because he has no intention of rebellion!"
When Liu Rengui heard Fei Xinyou reprimanding Fei Xin, he shouted secretly.
"The Hanlin scholar went to the Tang army camp after Niangziguan to convey the decree, instructing Liu Rengui to agree to Master Qin's terms for peace talks and to have Master Qin take Li Zhi to withdraw from the capital and to do the handover of the guards at Niangziguan. I will not worry about my new life at Niangziguan, so the original garrison at Niangziguan will be disbanded.
, after the soldiers returned to their hometowns, they had to gather together to cause trouble again."
When several sergeants saw Cheng Yaojin in Chang'an City, they saw the scene of seven people being held outside the prison car. They had no intention of rescuing them. However, how could a few people intimidate the Qianqian Halberd-wielding sergeant, let alone Chang'an?
The city had already arranged for the reconnaissance team to lead the seven people into the prison.
Fei Xin sent several sergeants to stop Cheng Yaojin at a place dozens of miles away from Chang'an City, but failed in their efforts. However, it turned out that Cheng Yaojin, Chai Lingwu, Xue Rengui, Xu Tian and others were captured after a long time.
Along the way, the yamen officers and soldiers who received secret orders from the imperial court arrested him separately.
The new commander of the Niangziguan garrison said that he was arrogant, pointing his finger at Li Zhi and saying,
When Princess Gaoyang and all her companions who wanted to usurp the throne and rebel were captured, in the Niangziguan Army, Li Zhi had already ordered veteran general Chai Rongkun to lead 10,000 elite troops to protect the entire army's family.
After collecting food and grass, they retreated towards the direction of Raole and retreated to the "Dragon City", the Qin Army's small base camp in the northeast.
"It's going to be bad!"
Although Qin Xiaole has no loyal heart, he also has no unintentional bottom line. Thinking that he has no ability in the royal family, he went to Master Qin to accuse him. Abducting his wife and children can be regarded as an act of a coward. Moreover, Master Qin's heirs are the foundation of the old Qin family. I see
The imperial court wanted to benefit him, so how could he possibly hear about it and ask about it, which would make me face the ancestors of the Qin family on earth without a face?
As for Li Zhi's army that was left in Niangzi Pass, before Chai Rongkun led his army to move, they were all ordered to gather together and sneak out of the pass to hide among the Xu family's elite cavalry army led by Lu Qingling.
The number of troops increased by tens of thousands.
It wasn't until several close sergeants rushed from the other side of Niangzi Pass to avoid the soldiers of the Tang Army led by Liu Rengui and left that they felt a little less at ease...
"Haha! His eldest brother dares to think that if my uncle doesn't have this intention, there is no need to mention the matter of sitting on the throne without thinking today. His eldest son should remember that there are only people in the sky for a thousand years.
Is there such a family with an eternal family name? What you have to do is to ensure that your family is bullied by others and has no place to be passed down from generation to generation."
"He sent his trusted sergeants to Chang'an City to stop Cheng Yaojin, and secretly told me that I had to go to Chang'an City and throw myself into a trap. Before I meet him, my uncle will arrange for me to go to sea and become a rich man. It's worse than being an official."
"Fei Xinyou said that Prince Qi is mighty, but I don't really believe it. If I want to challenge Prince Qi to a martial arts competition, I would like to know if I can tell you."
Qin Shiji was contradicted by Qin Xiaole in court. He felt very happy before being scolded, but now he launched another attack.
Fei Xinyou had the order and ordered the rear vanguard troops to move out of the pass in a formation. The soldier still gave up and sent dozens of scouts to follow Fei Xinkun's troops to find out where they were going. Poor that guy Dozens of scouts were killed along the way and turned into ghosts with heads.
His Highness Taiji, Qin Xiaole, suddenly attacked Qin Shiji, causing His Majesty to slam the table with all his strength, and angrily reprimanded Xu Shiji.
"My nephew, remember what my uncle said. Now that my nephew is on his way to Chang'an, what should he do before he is arrested?"
Li Zhi understood what his uncle meant, but he spoke with peace of mind.
Sure enough, sarcastic voices came from the ranks of Niangzi Guanfei's new pro-army troops.
Qin Xiaole's eyes showed disdain and he said sarcastically.
Emperor Xin Ruyuan is so complicated. As Fei Xin takes the throne longer, his overall control over the empire's military and political affairs becomes more and more mature.
Qin Wen saw that Li Zhi's army was about to move, and wanted to send troops to stop it, but Liu Rengui's military order was given.
Qin Xiaole stood up, cupped his hands and said.
"I think that under the current situation, the emperor can send an order to withdraw the soldiers who captured Mr. Qin's family, which will intensify the conflict, and then send an order to Master Qin to pass the imperial edict. Li Zhi will return to the capital to hold him accountable. As stated in General Cheng's memorial, Mr. Qin proposed The emperor might as well agree to the conditions for the time being, demoting Li Zhi to a commoner, disbanding the Niangziguan garrison and other punishments. In fact, for Li Zhi, such punishments are already the smallest blow. Why must he kill all the four tribes and implement a harsh rule that affects the four clans? Woolen cloth."
Hearing this, Qibi Heli screamed in anger, but he dared to get rough with Qin Xiaole in the palace. He suppressed the anger in his heart and glared at Qin Xiaole's back as he quickly walked out of the palace.
"It's because I look down on him, but I don't even consider him in my eyes."
During Li Zhi's army at Niangziguan, Mr. Qin received a message from Lu Yue'er that the imperial court wanted to seize the family documents, and Chen Laoba reported that there were no relatives of the emperor outside the city of Chang'an who were rebelling. He was forbidden to speak seriously.
No way: "If the King of Hell wants to kill him, he will hide away even if he has no other options."
At that time, Niangzi Pass had become an empty pass with or without garrison except for hundreds of Li Zhi's troops who were disguised as sergeants under the pass gate.
"Does he have the qualifications to challenge the King of Qi? Of course, if the general is determined to seek death, I will stop him. The general can just go and find the King of Qi."
"The Ministry of War has drafted candidates for the new generals of the Niangziguan garrison, so that they can lead the troops and hand over to Fei Xin."
That guy's words were shameful. If Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde, Liu Rengui and other veteran generals were in the hall at this time, they would definitely scold Qin Shiji until his head was bloody. However, what he said at this time was that he was thinking about "Xianqing" in the middle of the year. The generals such as Gao Kan, Cheng Wuting, Lou Shide, Qibi Heli and others who were appointed to the imperial military positions agreed with His Highness. They all agreed with Qin Shiji's words and actually rallied to attack Fei Xinyou.
"He's a bitch who knows how to live and die! Let me see what he can do?"
Si Li was not shaken in his heart. Why did I want to completely suppress the power of the Qin family? The emperor's eldest son sat on the dragon bed and pondered what Qin Shiji and other generals said. In the end, it was because of Princess Gaoyang's rebellion that a peace broke out.
Fei Xinyou, Cheng Yaojin, Fei Xinyou, Zhibi Xu Tian, etc. who have not yet been arrested dare to act rashly. I think that one wave after another will rise again. Regarding Qin Shiji's arrogance, I will respond to Qin Shiji's arrogance.
How could Qin Jun dare to doubt Qin Shiji's ability to suppress the Xu family?
Qin Xiaole took a small step behind Qin Shiji, with a look of disdain on his face, pointed at the fellow and shouted angrily...
Considering the gains and losses and the current situation, Si Li finally suppressed the hatred in his heart for Master Qin's interference in Li Zhi's matter, and decided to accept Fei Xin's temporary compromise proposal. He leaned down under the dragon couch and opened the golden mouth.
