Chapter 631: The King of Yue forces the palace
Chapter 631: King Yue forced the palace
In the Yue Palace, a general of the family went straight through the gatehouse, through the numerous archways, and Yue Cave. Finally, he stopped in a side hall. After entering, someone brought a tea cup. He did not drink this time, but just waited anxiously.
This time, the blood on my body had not dried yet, and my eye sockets were sunken, making me look extremely tired.
At this moment, the King of Yue came over yawning, and was about to stand up immediately to salute. Li Gan pressed his hands and said, "What happened? Where is Li Dan?"
After asking this sentence, a trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of the general, and said, "Last night, the Shenwu Army was attacked by the Song army and its entire army was wiped out. Li Jun envoy...he...he was trampled to death by the Song army on a war horse."
This general was not tall, but his whole body was full of strength. He must have been a man of a long time. However, at this moment, a trace of horror and strong fear flashed in his eyes. Even when talking about Song Jun, his hands couldn't help but put between his knees, and he felt vaguely cowardly to seek protection.
Li Ganzheng couldn't help but be stunned, and his expression felt incredible: "Six thousand Shenwu Army soldiers were defeated by one thousand Song Army?"
The general of the foreign army took a deep breath and said, "The Song army was not injured at all, and the last general was captured by the Song army. He escaped by luck and more than 3,000 soldiers died. The envoy Li Jun was dragged out by the Song army with his hair and pulled it out directly to a wide area, trampled back and forth with a war horse, and wailed repeatedly when he died, and said that His Highness of the King of Yue would avenge him!"
Li Gan was slapped on the table with his hand, and his heart was filled with anger. Li Dan was his capable confidant. After his instructions, he provoked the Song army. He originally wanted to give Chen Ao a little more color and let him retreat. Who knew that this was the result.
Losing Li Dan, Li Gan Zheng was cut off his right arm.
"Damn the Southern Barbarian!" Li Ganzheng couldn't help but become afraid. Chen Ao dared to kill Li Dan, so why didn't he dare to attack him? This person was too dangerous. Looking back at this time, what was the Golden Prince? It was really not a threat. If Chen Ao was letting him become the prince of Xixia, Li Ganzheng would be unimaginable. What would happen next?
but……
Killing a sect king and three thousand nations, just this one is enough to make a fuss.
Li Gan squinted his eyes, paced back and forth in the side hall with his hands behind his back, and suddenly looked up and said, "Agitate the families of the Shenwu Army, let them go to the Ministry of War and make trouble at the palace gate. The bigger the trouble, the better. Someone in the country will take the lead. They have been suppressed for so many years and are now bullied again. This resentment needs to be guided."
Li Ganzheng paused and said, "Come here, go and invite all the princes of the royal family. I have important matters to discuss with them."
Longxing Mansion was still immersed in shock. The Shenwu Army was wiped out. One of the five once arrogant armies was destroyed overnight. If anyone had thought about it, the whole body would immediately become cold. The Song army was too terrible! Chen Ao killed more than 3,000 people overnight, and his methods were too cruel. As for the sect king Li Dan, he was such a noble person, and his death was so miserable, which made people feel too incredible.
When talking about the word Chen Ao, a trace of fear flashed in everyone's eyes. This fear came from the depths of his heart and was so overwhelming that it was breathless.
Don’t mess with this evil star. At least there is no doubt about this consensus among the public.
But the nation is already crazy. The Longxing Mansion has only a hundred thousand nations, most of which are organized into five armies, and more than 3,000 people died in one go. If relatives from afar, who has no dead people in their family?
At this time, some people had already taken the lead. Many people went outside the city to collect the bodies and came back, carrying the coffin. Teams of people behind them wore mourning clothes and did not go to bury them, and directly blocked the palace gate and the Ministry of War.
If a country does not give an explanation, the nation will never give up.
At the same time, King Yue also led more than a dozen blood relatives of the royal family to appear. Instead of meeting, they knelt at the gate of the palace. This meaning was quite a bit like he would not give up until he killed Chen Ao.
With the sect king taking the lead, even the imperial guards in the city were clamoring for a while, especially the Longnang Guard, where they were shouting everywhere to take revenge.
There was still no news in the palace, but at the congested palace gate, eunuchs came out from time to time and quickly went out to deliver messages. Then a person summoned them into the palace. The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Privy Council, the Five Army Division of the Governors, and the City Gate Division came over one by one. When passing by the palace gate, they saw the bustling and wailing scenes, but they didn't react. They just lowered their heads and asked someone to drive a way in.
Although in the warm pavilion, Li Ganshun's eyes were open, looking at the red beams, it was very cold.
The dozen ministers below had already knelt all over the ground, and no one spoke.
Li Ganshun suddenly snorted coldly and said slowly: "Is the Southern Barbarian bullying me, Xixia, no one?"
There are many Han officials below. This is the first time that Li Ganshun blurted out the words "Southern Barbarian", but the Han officials below were bitter, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Li Ganshun continued: "We must not let this matter go lightly. You all tell me what to do?"
"Your Majesty, when you reach this situation, not to mention the national hearts, the sect princes have started to make trouble. If you don't kill Chen Ao, it is not enough to calm the anger of the people. My subordinates think that you can immediately issue an edict to order the Huwei Army to kill all the Song people outside the city, take the head of Chen Ao, and calm people's hearts."
The person who spoke was a vassal official. In the past, these vassal officials might have intrigues, but at this time, their positions were surprisingly consistent. The other vassal officials yelled: "If Your Majesty ignores him, the Western Xia Kingdom will never have peace. Our Daxia nation is the foundation of the country. If their hearts are cold, who is willing to be loyal to the country? Please think twice."
Li Ganshun raised his eyes and said, "Are the people outside the palace still there?"
Yang Zhen said: "When you go back to Your Majesty, you are here, and there are more and more people, and the sect kings are kneeling outside."
Li Ganshun suddenly said, "Is it the King of Yue Qi the head?"
Yang Zhen pursed his lips and did not speak.
Li Ganshun said: "There are two major things now, one is how to deal with Chen Ao, and the other is how to purify the imperial guards. Chen Ao's affairs will be discussed later, but the imperial guards are also urgent." He stood up and continued: "It is said that the martial arts of the Song people are lazy. Today I realized that they are no longer Ameng, and if this continues, what will Daxia build a country?"
A vassal official said: "It was the Chen Ao sneak attack..."
Li Ganshun interrupted him coldly: "Sneak attack? The distance between the two battalions is only a few miles. How to sneak attack? Are the six thousand people all pigs?"
Zhu Lu, the Minister of War, took the opportunity to say: "It is said that the Song people built a martial arts school, which is what they look like today. There were Hu clothing, riding and shooting in ancient times. Today, the military system of our Daxia cannot be unchanged. Why not set up a school and set up the shelf according to the martial arts school."
"No, Song and Xia are different, how can they copy and imitate?" A vassal official immediately opposed it. He naturally knew what the consequences of this opening were. The martial arts school would inevitably be controlled by Han officials in the future, and scholars must be allowed to enter. The country did not like to study, but the Han scholars were like crucian carp crossing the river. At that time, the entire school was filled with Han people, which was equivalent to completely controlling an elite force.
Li Ganshun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Zhu Aiqing first writes a charter for me to see." He paused and said, "As for that Shen Ao, what are the great opinions of Yang Aiqing?"
Yang Zhen understood that Li Ganshun would definitely ask himself, and had already made up his mind and said word by word: "Your Majesty, Chen Ao's death was to blame for the death of last night, but if Chen Ao was killed, how should the Song State explain? The Jin people and I, Xixia, have already torn off their faces, and it is difficult to repair them anymore. Khitan and Tubo now follow the leader of the Song State. If a war is provoked because of a Chen Ao, will Your Majesty think it is worth it?"
Li Gan Shunhe nodded, and he was hesitant for a moment. Emotionally, he hated Chen Ao deeply and wanted to kill him so quickly. But as a king, he had to act rationally and kill Chen Ao. He knew what the consequences were.
This is the difference between Zhao Ji and Li Ganshun. Zhao Ji's emotions often overcome reason, while Li Ganshun will consider the overall situation in everything.
But now that the trouble is so great, if Chen Ao is not killed, what will happen to the nation? What will happen to the king of sects? This is also something that Li Ganshun needs to weigh.
Seeing Li Ganshun silent, Yang Zhen continued, "Why might as well stop Chen Ao and the princess's marriage and expel Chen Ao from the country, so that he will never be allowed to step into Xia Tu. What does Your Majesty think?"
What Yang Zhen adopted was the method of dragging the word. Regardless of whether Chen Ao had a backup plan or not, what he could do now was to delay time, and he would be powerless to do anything else.
Li Ganshun said with a face, "How should the nation appease?"
Yang Zhen said: "Thank you to the pension."
Li Ganshun shook his head and said, "It's not feasible!"
Li Ganshun sat down and asked someone to bring a cup of tea cup. If no one was provoked, it would be fine to be given a heavy pension. But now, thinking of the King of Yue and King of Sect kneeling outside the palace, Li Ganshun snorted coldly and said with a cold face: "This is not enough. I have to ask about this matter, I must judge the right and wrong, and be upright, and call both the King of Sect and Shen Ao to Chongwen Hall to explain it clearly. Others, just do what should be done. Only in this way can people convince themselves. Instead of making trouble in secret, it is better to explain it clearly in an open and honest place."
The four words "provoking trouble in secret" were said from Li Ganshun, which was a very serious word. Who was the person who secretly asked for trouble in secret? It was self-evident.
Yang Zhen thought to himself that the King of Yue was also confused. At this time, instead of taking the King of Sect into the palace and crying with the emperor, he ran to the palace gate to kneel down and confess his thoughts, which made people see his intentions at a glance.
Li Ganshun gritted his teeth and said, "If Chen Ao is truly unforgivable, I will never let it go. I will kill him and be quick. The person who comes will immediately pass an edict to Li Wannian, so that he can bring Chen Ao into the city alone."
A vassal official said: "What if Chen Ao doesn't enter the city?"
Li Ganshun smiled faintly and said casually: "Kill!"
