Chapter 76 The First Guest(1/3)
In July of the ninth year of Wude, the blood from Xuanwu Gate had not yet dried.
A murderous aura was revealed throughout Chang'an City.
The Tang Dynasty, this emerging empire, had just passed the baptism of war, and had just come to its major transformation as if it had just emerged from the Chaoyang.
Just a month ago, the second prince Li Shimin resolutely launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
He killed his brother and imprisoned his father, ascended the throne and became emperor, and changed his reign to Zhenguan, which was the Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.
However, before he could enthrone his ministers and reward them with titles and titles, he received urgent reports from the border.
The Turkic Jieli and Tuli khans in the northwest joined forces with 100,000 troops and headed south all the way to capture Jingzhou and advanced to Wugong.
They rode fast all the way, and they quickly attacked the heartland of the Central Plains and rushed to Jingyang.
It is only forty miles away from Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, the Tang army was all defending the four sides, and the central army was empty, and even the capital Chang'an had only tens of thousands of troops.
For a moment, the emerging empire of the Tang Dynasty was instantly in a storm.
If the Turks were killed in the capital, what would the Tang Dynasty use to defend Chang'an?
Wouldn't even the emperor be faced with the situation of being captured and killed?
Countless people even applauded, claiming that this was the retribution for Li Shimin's incorrect position.
And those aristocratic families were even more laughing at the side. The Li family was just a mere Hu Han bastard, and they wanted to occupy the Central Plains?
After receiving the news, Chang'an martial law was imposed.
Chang'an Palace, Zichen Palace.
Li Shimin sat in the first seat with a blue face. Below were the ministers of the Tang Dynasty, including Li Jing, Hou Junji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others.
They were old ministers from Qiandi who had been with Li Shimin for many years and were considered to be their confidants.
"Why did the Turks suddenly go south? What exactly are they going to do?"
Du Ruhui stroked his beard and showed a thoughtful look on his face, breaking the dullness in the hall.
"No matter what they want to do, just call it back and it's done!"
Cheng Yaojin said carelessly, his expression full of desire to try.
"The 100,000 Turkic army is not that easy to deal with!"
Qin Qiong shook his head, looked at the sand table in the hall, and showed a solemn expression.
It’s not surprising that everyone was furious. Before, they were all focused on seizing imperial power.
However, they did not expect that the Turks would actually send troops during the civil turmoil in the Tang Dynasty and aimed directly at Chang'an.
This is equivalent to someone who has put the knife on your neck and his life has been held in his hands by others.
If it is not good, then the Tang Dynasty will be over.
"Your Majesty, my Tang Dynasty treasury is now empty, and it is not the best time to start a war. Please think twice!"
After hearing Qin Qiong's words, Shangshu Zuo Pushe Fang Xuanling followed.
"Does the heaven destroy my Tang Dynasty? Is the heaven destroy my Li Shimin?"
Listening to the discussions of the ministers below, Li Shimin sighed with a deep sigh.
At this moment, he couldn't help but remember the rumors.
The Turks went south because of his great rebellious act of killing his brother and jailing his father, and God's punishment was brought to him.
If possible, he would like to kill all the Turks who went south!
To keep a close eye on the audio!
At this moment, a message came into Li Shimin's mind.
"Um?"
Feeling this message, Li Shimin immediately widened his eyes and showed an incredible look.
An inexplicable existence told him that there is a place to satisfy his wishes.
As long as he agrees, he can go to that place immediately.
"Your Majesty, what happened?"
Seeing Li Shimin's expression, Fang Xuanling felt aroused in her heart and asked.
As soon as the words were finished, all the ministers looked over.
Just saw Li Shimin's incredible look on his face, as if he had encountered something extremely incredible.
"Well, nothing happened!"
Li Shimin came to his senses, coughed lightly, and his face returned to normal.
He thought about it and maybe it was because he was too anxious that he had hallucinations.
Now is a critical juncture in the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no need to be any distracting intentions.
At this moment, the message poured into his mind again.
This time, it directly shows that if he could spend the price, he could drive away or even kill all the invading Turks.
Feeling this message, Li Shimin was shaken.
If there was an hallucination before, how should I explain it the second time?
Could it be that there is really such a place in the world? Can it help him solve the current dilemma?
"go!"
After gritting his teeth, Li Shimin had an idea and made up his mind.
"call out!"
Just as he had decided, an irresistible force swept him up and turned into a white light and disappeared into the sky.
"His Majesty!"
Seeing this scene, all the ministers exclaimed.
In an instant, a mess was in chaos in Zichen Hall.
...
"call out!"
A flash of light, Li Shimin felt a flash of sight, and he instantly came from Zichen Hall to an illusory place.
Looking around, there are endless white lights, hazy and unreal.
“Where is this?”
Li Shimin barely kept calm, swallowed his saliva and asked.
"Buzz!"
The next moment, the infinite light gradually condensed into a portal and appeared in front of Li Shimin.
Such a mysterious scene appeared under his nose.
"hiss!"
Li Shimin took a deep breath, full of shock.
He stepped across the door and walked in.
The line of sight changed, from endless white light to a room.
Above the room is an endless starry sky, gorgeous and dazzling.
Around them are rows of shelves with some incomprehensible things hanging on them.
And near the south wall, there was a cabinet, and behind it was a young man.
No, it doesn't look like a young man. He is wearing a hat, his face is invisible and his shirtless.
But judging from his appearance, he probably isn't very old.
"Welcome!"
Seeing the first guest entering the door, Liu Haizhu nodded slightly and said to him.
Just as the other party stepped into the weapon space, the message of this person automatically appeared in his mind.
