Chapter 317 The son wants to get a wife
Li Zhen asked herself that she is a person who holds grudges, especially for those villains who have harmed her, and she will never let them go.
Fang Xuanling was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, a veteran of Tiance Mansion, and the humerus minister that Li Shimin relied on. Not only did he not help him put down the rebellion, but he harmed him behind his back many times.
"If I hadn't been smart and lucky, I would have been a victim of the sword a long time ago. How could I have spared him?"
Li Zhen understands the principle of beating up a drowned dog. If he doesn't take this opportunity to kill Fang Xuanling, when Fang Xuanling gets over it, he will definitely come back to bite him.
Therefore, Li Zhen¡¯s last request to Li Shimin was to execute Fang Xuanling.
If Fang Xuanling does not die, Li Zhen is afraid that he will stab her in the back, and she will not feel at ease leading the troops outside.
Li Shimin understands Li Zhen¡¯s thoughts. If he were in Li Zhen¡¯s position, he would also make such a request.
However, after all, Fang Xuanling was a veteran of Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion. Fang Xuanling was an important minister in his Zhenguan rule. The famous Fang Mou Du Duan was talking about Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. It can be seen how much Fang Xuanling had a crush on Li Shimin. importance.
And Fang Xuanling is the head of hundreds of officials, the prime minister, and has a high and powerful position. More importantly, he has been Li Shimin's think tank for so many years and has established a deep relationship with Li Shimin.
Li Shimin is nostalgic. If Fang Xuanling is executed in this way, Li Shimin really can't bear it.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin looked at Li Zhen with pleading eyes and said, "Zhen'er, can you"
"Your Majesty!"
Before he finished speaking, Eunuch Gao hurried in from outside the palace.
"What's the matter?" Li Shimin asked.
"Your MajestyFang Xuanling" Eunuch Gao hesitated and did not dare to say it.
"what happened?"
"Your Majesty, Fang Xuanling heard that the prince committed suicide after subduing 100,000 rebels."
"What?"
Li Shimin and Li Zhen were shocked at the same time.
Li Shimin has mixed feelings in his heart. Fang Xuanling was his mastermind when he came from Tiance Mansion. Over the years, they have had an irreversible friendship. They are known as monarchs and ministers, but they are actually good friends. Now that his best friend for many years has hanged himself and died, Li Shimin is worried. Still can't bear it.
Li Shimin immediately said: "Fang Xuanling has hanged himself, so let's send his body back to the Duke of Liang. Although he is guilty, he is not as guilty as his family. In view of his past achievements, let him be buried with the courtesy of a minister." "
Li Zhen nodded. To be honest, Li Zhen did not expect that Fang Xuanling would hang himself, but that was fine. Fang Xuanling was a sensible person and knew that if he hanged himself, the emperor would still remember his merits. No. Sin and his family, since the person is dead, there is no need to hold on to him to avoid being accused of being narrow-minded.
No, I heard that Fang Xuanling's two sons still have some talents. We must not give them a chance to take revenge. Just drive them out of Chang'an and exile them to Lingnan.
Thinking of this, Li Zhen expressed her thoughts. Li Shimin nodded and immediately ordered that Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yiai be separated from each other. All the Fang brothers were sent to Lingnan, and Fang Xuanling was buried with the same courtesy as a minister.
At this point, Li Zhen eliminated all worries and immediately asked people to open the inner treasury, take out money and materials, and then sent people outside the city gate to appease the 100,000 surrendered troops.
In the next two days, Li Zhen reorganized these surrendered troops, eliminated some die-hard rebel elements, and then divided these troops into several guards.
Because Li Shimin wanted to weaken Li Zhen's power, he sent Li Zhen's most capable men Wang Fangyi, Cheng Chuli, Xue Rengui, Zhou Qing, and Xue Xingtu to serve as officials in distant places. As a result, Li Zhen did not have any capable generals.
Therefore, Li Zhen decided to use veteran generals and put the newly formed four guards under the leadership of veteran generals such as Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Su Dingfang, and Yuchi Gong.
Li Zhen still trusts these veterans. Although they are older, they have rich combat experience. Let them go to a distant place to serve as officials. They may not have the physical strength and energy, but let them use their remaining troops to guard Chang'an. City, they can still do the job.
"After gaining military power, these veteran generals burst out with great enthusiasm in a short period of time. In just two or three days, they had completely controlled these armies.
However, the situation facing Chang'an at this time is still very serious.
Li Zhi had more than 200,000 troops under his command, but the Chang'an garrison totaled only 100,000, and most of them had surrendered from the rebels. In the end??How much fighting power there is is questionable.
More importantly, the most elite troops of the Tang Army, the Central Army of more than a dozen guards, are all in the hands of Li Zhi. This is also the core force of Li Zhi's rebels.
With them around, it would be difficult to hold Chang'an.
No one is optimistic about holding Chang'an, not even Li Shimin. However, Li Shimin knows that he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty and has huge political significance, so no matter what, he must not evacuate Chang'an. , so as not to lose political advantage.
To defend Chang'an, Li Shimin had the backbone of an emperor, but he had no confidence.
As the commander-in-chief of the Chang'an garrison, Li Zhen was under great pressure.
It was at this moment that another bad news came.
Li Zhi's main force advanced again after resting and was less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an.
They have been threatening the young and strong along the way, and their number has snowballed to 400,000, known to the outside world as one million, and they are preparing to launch a full-scale attack on Chang'an!
Hearing the news, everyone was shocked. Chang'an's garrison numbered only 100,000, while Li Zhi's troops numbered 400,000. The difference in ratio was too great.
More importantly, Li Zhi's army was the most elite Central Army in the Tang Dynasty, while the Chang'an garrison was mostly composed of surrendered troops, and its combat effectiveness was far from that of Li Zhen's army.
For a time, almost everyone lost confidence in victory. All officials asked Li Shimin to move the capital to Luoyang, relying on the Tongguan natural barrier to block the attack of Li Zhi's army.
However, Li Shimin was very determined and said loudly: "This country is my country, and Chang'an is my Chang'an. I will never leave. Anyone who tries to persuade me to leave again will be executed immediately!"
The officials looked at each other in shock, not daring to say another word.
At this moment, Li Zhen walked out.
In the Ganlu Hall, all the officials lowered their heads and remained silent, no one dared to say a word.
Li Shimin sighed. These civil and military officials usually talk freely, but now that the country is in trouble, they have no idea.
At this moment, Li Zhen stood up.
Li Shimin¡¯s eyes lit up and he said, ¡°Does the Crown Prince have a way to retreat the army of traitor Li Zhi?¡±
Li Zhen nodded and said: "Father, don't worry, as long as your sons and ministers are here, the power of the Tang Dynasty will be there. Chang'an must not be abandoned!"
"That's good! Zhen'er, how do you deal with it?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Zhen smiled slightly, with a nice arc at the corner of her mouth, and said: "Father, my son wants to get a wife" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
