At first, although Jieli Khan was very happy, he did not completely believe what Zhao Deyan said.
He still hopes that Zhao Deyan can shine for the Turks in institutional construction.
But as more and more news came from Chang'an, Jieli Khan couldn't help but become more and more concerned about the intense political situation within the Liang Dynasty.
At this time, the Liang Dynasty's court had obviously been divided into two factions.
One of the factions was Liang Gaozu and the prince. These two people did not contribute much during the Liang Dynasty's conquest of the world. At best, they only sat in the rear and supervised the transportation of grain and grass.
But after the Liang Dynasty was unified, they were the two people with the highest status.
The other faction is the King of Qi and the King of Wei.
Although King Wei is older and has made great military achievements, in general, his main talent is fighting in front of the battle, and he does not have the talent to strategize and win thousands of miles away. Naturally, he is not suitable to be an emperor.
Although the King of Qi was young, he was very talented in the military. He was the number one leader every time he led troops to fight, and he had a very high prestige in the army.
The King of Wei was obviously closer to the King of Qi, probably because he was fighting in the north and south with the King of Qi.
The combination of these two people has many military generals tightly surrounding them, forming a force that cannot be ignored.
It can be clearly felt that the struggle between the two forces has gradually become more intense.
What's even more terrible is that these ministers who have made great contributions in the process of conquering the world are also divided into two factions.
Among them, the princelings were headed by the prince, assisted by Princess Pingyang, Wei Zheng, Yuchi Jingde, and Liang Gaozu stood vaguely behind to act as a counterweight.
This is very reasonable, because at the beginning, Princess Pingyang was cooperating with the prince in Juxiao Pass, and after Wei Zheng took refuge in the Liang Dynasty, he was immediately awarded the official position of Prince Xianma, and was the number one person under the prince.
Many people even speculated that the prince was aware of Wei Zheng's many vicious schemes and even participated in the planning.
Due to the influence of Princess Pingyang, Yuchi Jingde, who surrendered from Liu Wuzhou and Wang Shichong, also sided with the prince.
The King of Qi's Party was composed of King Qi and King Wei as the core, and was assisted by Yan Lide during the campaign in Chang'an, Cheng Zhijie who played an important role in the campaign against Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande, and Qin Shubao.
The two sides are evenly matched, as if they had been assigned in advance.
Of course, in addition to this, there were many outstanding civil servants and generals throughout the Liang Dynasty, but they either chose sides or remained neutral.
This situation is obviously more dangerous than the real Xuanwu Gate Incident in history.
In a coup, we are not afraid of unilateral defeat, but we are afraid of novices pecking each other.
Because unilateral hanging can end the coup quickly and minimize the harm to the country. Such is the case with King Qin's Xuanwumen Incident in real history.
But novices pecking each other will cause the two forces to continue to fight each other and continue to consume a country's national power.
But now the princelings and the Qi Wangdang are just like novices pecking each other.
More and more news reached Jieli Khan's ears. For example, the prince wanted to hold a banquet to poison King Qi today, but King Qi didn't go. Another example was that King Qi invited the prince to go hunting and secretly arranged for a fierce horse.
The horse wanted to throw the prince to death, but the prince was not fooled, and so on.
Putting this information together, even the ordinary people in Chang'an City knew that something big was going to happen.
Jieli Khan was naturally overjoyed. While asking Zhao Deyan to reform the system and concentrate his power at a faster speed, he also prepared his troops and prepared to go south for a big fight.
Finally, after months of anxious waiting, Jieli Khan finally got the news he wanted to hear.
The coup really happened!
Moreover, the results of this coup were quite tragic!
According to the intelligence from Chang'an, it was said that when the prince entered the palace through Xuanwu Gate, he was ambushed by King Qi and King Wei. However, under Yuchi Jingde's life-saving protection, he escaped from Xuanwu Gate and returned to the Prince's Mansion to launch an attack. Your own private soldiers.
King Qi and King Wei also led their own private soldiers, and the two sides started a fight inside Xuanwu Gate.
No one saw the specific situation at that time. After all, they were in a deep palace, but two groups of men and horses rushed in wearing armor and holding weapons, and the shouts of killing were loud. There is absolutely no lie about this.
After that, he issued an edict handing over the crown prince's position and all political power to the King of Qi.
This means that this brutal fight ended with the victory of King Qi and King Wei.
This is also very reasonable. After all, King Qi and King Wei are the ones who conquer the world and are good at conquering. Even if the prince has the help of Yuchi Jingde, it will be difficult for him to come back.
However, the coup did not end there.
The prince seemed to have prepared a backup plan a long time ago. He took Yuchi Jingde and Wei Zheng to fight out of Chang'an City and ran to Luoyang.
Although Luoyang was captured by Liang Jun, Wei Zheng had been operating here for a long time and had a deep foundation.
With Luoyang as the center, the prince called on the diligent kings of the world. He said that King Qi and King Wei were treasonous and immoral, forcing their father to usurp the throne, and invited everyone in the world to join in the crusade.
Princess Pingyang responded first.
Princess Pingyang also made great contributions in the unification of the Liang Dynasty, but she was not in Chang'an City when the coup occurred, but was guarding Jinyang to guard against the Turks' attack.
She is a die-hard princeling. After hearing that the prince was driven away and her father was under house arrest, she immediately led her army southward, leaving the north empty.
Immediately afterwards, many generals from various places responded to the prince's call, and the army began to gather in Luoyang.
However, King Qi and King Wei did not panic at all. As emperors, they ordered the world to gather the elite soldiers from Guanzhong in Chang'an, obviously to show off their horses and horses to fight with Luoyang.
When it comes to fighting, King Qi and King Wei have experienced hundreds of battles, and it is obvious that they are fully qualified.
The tragic civil war is about to break out. Jieli Khan is thinking that the situation at this time should be a situation where the arrow is on the string and has to be launched, right?
As long as the two sides are really fighting, neither side will give in at this time.
There is no retreat in political struggle. After all, if you want to retreat, the political and military groups behind you will not be able to make you retreat. Everyone's wealth and life depend on it.
Of course, if there are risks, then they are.
What if the two sides are not really fighting?
But even Jieli Khan himself found this idea ridiculous.
Not a real fight?
Is it true that the conflict between the Crown Prince and the King of Qi in trying to unify the world is real?
Is it true that Liang Taizu tried to balance the forces between the two sides, causing the political struggle to become more and more intense?
The coup that took place in the palace is also true, right?
All this reality is supported by a very solid foundation, which is "interests".
There can only be one person in the world. The winner is the Nine-Five Lord, and the loser will be doomed.
Under such circumstances, the conflict between the prince and the king of Qi is irresolvable. How can they unite and perform a play? What's more, who is the play for? Can they be sure that the Turks will definitely go south?
You can't have such a big battle just to amuse yourself, right?
It's absolutely impossible when you think about it.
Even if one party has such an idea, how can the other party cooperate? It is simply a fantasy.
In short, Jieli Khan thought about it and felt that this was an excellent opportunity.
So he immediately summoned the leaders of various tribes.
"Send troops and go south to attack Liang!"
…
On the banks of the Weishui River, the Turkic army formed an array, with flags flying.
Jieli Khan looked at Chang'an City in the distance and just wanted to laugh three times.
He wanted to say: Who else!
The current situation is different from real history.
In real history, although Jieli Khan led a large army to invade, he also knew that the Liang Dynasty had a very capable King of Qin.
Because the King of Qin was so dazzling in the entire unification war that he could not be ignored at all. Therefore, even Jieli Khan could feel a huge sense of oppression when facing him, even if he was at an advantage.
But in this world, King Qin no longer exists.
Although during the unification process, King Qi and King Wei also had some outstanding performances, they were simply incomparable to the original King of Qin.
Jieli Khan in this plane did not know the existence of King Qin, but he had eyes and could see that neither King Qi nor King Wei was a big threat to him.
At this time, in Jieli Khan's view, he was in the right place at the right time and with the right people.
At the right time, he took the initiative to attack with the Turkic army, while the Liang Dynasty was passively defensive, and it took a lot of time to mobilize the army.
Due to the favorable location, he approached the city of Chang'an and attacked and left whenever he wanted. The cavalry came and went like the wind.
There is also the most important person and Liang Guo. At this time, the Liang Kingdom is fighting furiously. The country was originally weak, but now it is still strangulation.
Jieli Khan was very sure that as long as he stayed outside Chang'an for a few days, he would not need to attack the city. The King of Qi would obediently send all kinds of gold, silver, treasures and beauties to him.
If Chang'an is empty, he can even capture Chang'an.
Or when Zhao Deyan completes the reform of the Turks in the future, he will lead the Turkic army to unify the Central Plains and become the Khan of the Turks and the emperor of the Central Plains people at the same time...
Jieli Khan said proudly: "How is it? Has King Qi replied to your letter?"
At this time in Chang'an City, it was King Qi who controlled the situation. Although Liang Gaozu was still there, everyone knew that he had been completely eclipsed as emperor.
As for the King of Qi, he had already asked Liang Gaozu to issue an edict to make him the crown prince, but of course Jieli Khan still habitually called him King of Qi.
The messenger reported back: "Khan, the King of Qi said that he will come to the bank of the Wei River in person later to pay homage to the Khan."
Jieli Khan couldn't help laughing: "Very good, very good!"
In his opinion, his guess was obviously correct.
The King of Qi must have been weak, so he came to the bank of the Wei River in person to pay homage and admit his defeat.
Moreover, this King of Qi was the one who led the troops in the war after all. He was a bit brave and did not just hide in Chang'an City and dare not come out.
But it doesn't matter whether you have courage or not. In the face of absolute strength, it's all vain.
In this plane, Jieli Khan has not suffered five or three severe beatings from King Qin, so he is still very confident.
Just then, the city gate opened.
Two fast horses ran in front, namely King Qi and King Wei.
The Turks also have good eyesight. Anyone who knows these people will report to Jieli Khan as soon as possible.
Jieli Khan smiled slightly, these two people were the core figures of the Liang Dynasty and were inseparable.
Although King Wei was good at fighting on foot, it was indeed a bit strange to have his legs come up in this situation, so he came on horseback with a sword in hand. If there was a fight, he could still dismount.
But then, someone else appeared from behind.
Two powerful generals, Cheng Zhijie and Qin Shubao, were on the left and right.
People around me reported again.
Jieli Khan nodded: "Yes."
These two fierce generals are the confidants of King Qi, so it is understandable that they would come out at this time.
But then, something seemed wrong.
Because Wei Zheng and Princess Pingyang are here too!
When he heard these two names, Jieli Khan was stunned for a moment.
What's the situation? Why are these two people in Chang'an City?
Immediately afterwards, Yuchi Jingde, the prince and many important ministers around the prince also arrived.
Finally, the soldier pushed a small car to the bank of the Weishui River. Others got out of the way and allowed the small car to stop in the middle.
The man above is wearing an imperial robe. You can tell without asking that this is Liang Gaozu.
This time, Jieli Khan was completely shocked.
Why do some people who are completely impossible to appear here in theory appear here!
The prince failed in the struggle, so all the princelings should have fled to Luoyang, right?
Liang Gaozu was under house arrest by King Qi. Why did he come out at this time? And he seemed to have a higher status than everyone else?
Seeing Liang Chao's dream team ahead, Jieli Khan felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He didn't know what to say and was at a loss.
Meng Yuan, who plays Liang Gaozu, smiled slightly in a wheelchair, oh no, in a luxurious car like a dragon chariot.
"Jie Li! You have come from afar, and I have not come far to welcome you. I am very rude.
"Well, to apologize, just say whatever last words you have!"
