Chapter 309 Chaos!
Outside Chang'an City, in a market square.
Chang'an City has a population of one million, and there are residential buildings and markets everywhere outside the city.
It was already dusk, and a group of workers by the canal had been working for a day. They sat around, eating noodles and chatting.
Although this wharf is not too big, there are still thousands of workers who transport materials shipped from the south into Chang'an City every day, and these workers also make a living.
It was getting dark now, and several pots and stoves were rising on the pier. Chickens and mutton were stewed in the pots. The fire under the stoves was burning brightly. Steam was rising from the pots, and the aroma of chickens and muttons came to my nostrils. People can't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva after smelling it.
Tang Kui is the leader of these workers. If you want to find work on the dock, you have to go to Tang Kui first. Of course, the wages paid by Tang Kui have changed from ten cents to the most Six or seven articles, the rest went into Tang Kui's pocket.
"However, Tang Kui was cruel and evil, and he had dozens of brothers under his command. Most people really didn't dare to provoke him, so they could only hand over their share obediently.
But today, Tang Kui had a rare hemorrhage. He set up a few large stoves, cooked some tender lambs and fat chickens, and invited the moving workers to drink and eat meat.
Because of Tang Kui's methods, these workers had no money in their stomachs, and all of them were so greedy that their mouths watered, so they all came to Tang Kui to eat.
After a while, several tender sheep and fat chickens were put on the table, and Tang Kui let the workers drink wine and eat meat.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the workers were drunk and dizzy.
When Tang Kui saw that it was almost done, he immediately slapped the table.
Everyone was startled, stopped eating and drinking, and looked at Tang Kui blankly.
Tang Kui crossed his waist and said, "I summoned everyone here today because there is something to discuss."
"Everyone also knows that King Jin's army is about to invade Chang'an City. I wonder what you think?"
Someone said: "Tangtou, we are just long-term laborers who only want to earn a living, so what ideas do we have?"
Tang Kui shook his head and said: "This is wrong. I heard that King Jin has already said that if Chang'an is broken, all the chickens and dogs will be killed!"
"ah?"
"What should we do?"
The workers were not in the mood to eat any more, and all of them were worried.
Tang Kui said: "Don't panic, His Highness King Jin also said that whoever opens the city gate to welcome King Jin will be rewarded with gold and silver that can't be used up in a lifetime."
"Open the city gate? Tangtou, that's a rebellion! They want to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan." A worker said.
"Searching the family and exterminating the clan? If you don't welcome King Jin into the city, you are really waiting to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan!"
"Either confiscate the family and exterminate the clan, or strive for a lifetime of wealth, which one do you choose?" Tang Kui said in a cold voice.
The workers looked at each other in shock and did not dare to answer.
Tang Kui said: "I will show you a way of life. If you don't leave, then disaster will happen in the future, and you won't be able to blame me!"
"Who wants to compete with me for a lifetime of wealth? I will take you into Chang'an and into Chang'an City. Whoever grabs what belongs to whoever grabs it. Let's open Chang'an City and welcome the soldiers of King Jin!"
Hearing what Tang Kui said, the carefree man gritted his teeth and said, "Tangtou, I listen to you. We will welcome King Jin with you and strive to be rich for the rest of our lives!"
"Yes, listen to Tangtou!" Tang Kui's men made a noise. Seeing this situation, these drinking men were so drunk that they rolled up their sleeves one by one, gearing up, and wanted to fight with Tang Kui.
Of course, there are also those who are timid, but they don¡¯t dare to leave when they see the crowd getting excited.
At that moment, Tang Kui drank all the wine in the bowl and said, "In that case, then compete with me for wealth and let's go to Chang'an City for a walk!"
At this moment, thousands of workers followed Tang Kui and headed towards Chang'an City.
The same scene appeared in many places inside and outside Chang'an City. Under Fang Yiai's secret arrangement, the whole of Chang'an became chaotic.
Many rioters entered Chang'an City, vandalizing, looting, and even setting fires. For a while, Chang'an was in chaos.
Li Shimin was discussing countermeasures with the ministers in the palace. At this time, a young eunuch ran over outside the door and said breathlessly: "The emperor is not good, Chang'an City is in chaos!"
Li Shimin couldn't help being surprised and asked: "What on earth is going on?"
The little eunuch said: "Dozens of groups of rioters appeared inside and outside Chang'an City, beating, smashing, burning and looting everywhere. They said they were going to open the city."The door welcomes the king of Jin. "
"boom!"
Li Shimin slapped his palm heavily on the dragon chair, gritted his teeth and said, "This is unreasonable! This is rebellion!"
Li Ji on the side said: "Your Majesty, this must be the rebel spies taking the opportunity to cause chaos in the city. These rebels must be put down immediately, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
At this time, Li Zhi's army is less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an. If it is cavalry, it will be able to arrive within a day. If Chang'an City cannot quell the chaos in a short time, the consequences will be disastrous.
Li Shimin immediately said: "Order the Nanya guards to put down the rebellion immediately. No matter what you say, there will be no chaos in Chang'an!"
"Your Majesty, all the guards in Nanya have been mobilized. In the entire imperial city, only the Yulin Guards are the elite ones. But if they are used to counter rebellion, who will guard the palace?" Li Ji said.
"We still have tens of thousands of troops stationed in Chang'an, and we can immediately mobilize the troops to quell the rebellion!" Fang Xuanling said.
"Except for the Yulin Guards, the other tens of thousands of people are mostly remnants of soldiers who were defeated on the battlefield. If we send them to put down the rebellion now, I'm afraid the situation will be even more chaotic." Li Ji said.
"Now, the only way is to mobilize these troops to put down the rebellion immediately." Li Shimin said.
"Report! Your Majesty, what's wrong, the garrison in the city is in chaos. Some of the garrison mutinied. They opened the city gate privately and let in the chaos, preparing to welcome King Jin into the city!"
"Report! Your Majesty, Jin King Li Zhi's vanguard is only thirty miles away from Chang'an!
"What?" Li Shimin suddenly stood up.
The next moment, he understood that it must be Li Zhi's people who had mixed into the rebel army and incited the rebel army to open the city gate. In this way, Chang'an would really be in chaos.
What adds fuel to the fire is that Li Zhi's prophet has arrived near Chang'an. If they take the opportunity to attack Chang'an, Chang'an will fall directly.
The ministers on the side looked at each other in shock, and Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, Chang'an can no longer be defended. Please go to Luoyang to avoid the limelight for a while."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the situation in Chang'an is out of control. Let's go to Luoyang and rely on the natural barrier of Tongguan to block the rebel attack."
Li Shimin shook his head. Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty. He occupies Chang'an and is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If he goes to Luoyang, Li Zhi will definitely proclaim himself emperor in Chang'an, and then the Tang Dynasty will definitely split.
¡°Moreover, if I don¡¯t have any soldiers or generals, what¡¯s the point of arriving in Luoyang?¡±
I¡¯m afraid that by then, all the ministers will join Li Zhi, and I will end up alone!
Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh, he missed Li Zhen very much in his heart, and thought that if Zhen'er was still alive, no matter what, the situation would not have reached this point.
"Your Majesty, it's better to leave." Fang Xuanling said.
Li Shimin shook his head and said: "I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and I will never leave Chang'an!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
