Chapter IX Open Declaration of War
Guli Pei Luo saw Pei's wink, and he didn't even look at Li Wan, the so-called marshal of soldiers and horses, and turned around and shouted the soldiers and horses out of the city.
The surrounding people originally fled in scattered due to the harassment of the Uighur soldiers.
But because of Pei's appearance, most of them were watching from a distance, watching the dramatic transformation. Seeing Pei protecting himself in this way, he also domineeringly subdued Guli Pei Luo and gathered up again.
There was an excited shouting in the crowd, "Long live the prince!"
Then the mountains and the seas were thundering!
"Long live the prince..."
"Long live the prince..."
"Long live the prince..."
Excited shouts are endless.
Li Wan's expression was a little ugly. She was obviously the result of her military marshal, so how could Pei be so virtuous?
But thinking of Pei's reputation, Li Wan didn't dare to show her face and bowed, "I've seen the prince!"
Pei had no good feelings for this young man who had just rushed out to stop him, nor had he seen him. However, seeing his appearance that was three-point similar to Li Longji, he could guess that he was the Grand Marshal of the Army appointed by Li Heng, and sneered in his heart: Li Heng is Li Heng, and even at this point, he still did not change his suspicion.
Li Wan, a naturally delicate royal family member, may not have read many books on military books, so let him become the Grand Marshal?
Do you really think that the person with the surname Li is Li Shimin?
Pei Huili said, "I have met King Rong."
Li Wan said intimately: "It would be great if the prince comes back. I am not talented and knowledgeable. I am appointed as the emperor's brother's trust and serve as the Grand Marshal of the Military and Horses. Many things are a bit absurd. If I get the prince to assist him, I will not be able to capture it. I want to submit to the prince as the deputy marshal of the military and horses and wipe out the rebels together. What do the prince think?"
Pei didn't respond, but looked at Li Wan seriously and said, "Whose order?"
Li Wan's face changed slightly and said, "Of course it's the third brother. The fourth brother has abdicated. The third brother ascended the throne in Lingwu and changed his lunar name to Zhide."
Pei Li said, "As far as I know, Your Majesty was forced by a mutiny, so he chose to abdicate. How to do it? If there is this precedent, just come up with a cat and a dog and make a mutiny, and find a descendant of the royal family to be the emperor. Wouldn't this supreme saint be the one who becomes a scattered existence? In my eyes, there is only the Pure Treasure Emperor, and there is no new emperor."
Emperor Chunbao refers to Li Yan.
There are generally three ways to call emperors, such as Taizu, Taizong, and Gaozong, which belong to the temple name, and the posthumous title is like Emperor Minghuang of Tang, and the one that is least often called is the year name.
Because the previous emperors liked to change the year names blindly, not many people called the year names.
However, Li Yan had no temple name or posthumous title, and the year name became the most direct name.
Li Wan said angrily: "The prince is a traitor. My third brother thinks that his talent and knowledge are not as good as the fourth brother, so he became arrogant and attacked Chang'an and gave way to the wise. That is, it is orthodox and righteous, how can the prince be doubted?"
Pei didn't want to say too much to Li Wan, and said directly: "I was entrusted by the late emperor to be the orphan and personally ordered to be the minister of the regent. Who is qualified? The late emperor asked me to assist Emperor Chunbao. Now Emperor Chunbao has forbiddenly forced his abdication for the riots. No matter what the reason is, it is not an excuse... Moreover, what happened today is the biggest shame since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. The king of a country does not want to protect the people, so it will be even worse, and use them as bargaining chips?"
"I don't know what Emperor Taizong said, "The reason is that the rebels are boating and people are watering? The rebels are not scary, but what is scary is that they lose the hearts of the people. I don't think that a person who betrays his people as soon as he takes office can become a wise monarch and holy lord."
He said as he pointed at the people on Zhuque Street and said sternly: "Even if I recognize the new emperor today, why don't King Rong ask all the people in Chang'an? Ask the people of the Tang Dynasty who sold him to the Uighurs as slaves. They agree or not..."
Li Wan's expression changed drastically.
The people from all over the world were originally cheering for Pei.
But he found that Pei and Li Wan had a quarrel in public, and everyone was inexplicably frightened.
What Pei and Li Wan said are not very clear to ordinary people.
But in the end, Pei's words meant that it was simple and clear.
At first there was a silence, then a man sneered: "Don't agree!"
The shouting was right next to Pei, the girl who was rescued by Pei and almost gave to the Uighur general.
One person started, and one after another, the courageous people shouted.
The momentum is getting stronger and stronger, almost the same as before.
Li Wan took a few steps back in horror, looking at the people shouting left and right, without any blood.
Pei looked at Li Wan resolutely, saying that he was openly declaring war on Li Heng's court.
This is also Pei's determination and attitude. He incited the people of Chang'an to oppose Li Heng, but he did not leave any room for Li Heng, nor did he leave any room for himself.
He wanted everyone in the world to know that he, the minister of the regent and prime minister of the dynasty, and the chief official who held the troops of the four towns, did not recognize the emperor Li Heng: Li Heng's throne came from incorrectly.
He didn't plan to give Li Heng a little way out: either handing over the throne to Li Yan, or a traitor with an incorrect origin, and there is no third way to choose from.
Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Li Wan didn't dare to stay and left without shook her sleeves.
The civil and military generals who came with Li Wan hesitated again and again, and some of them left with each other, and half of them chose to stay.
Changes occurred one after another, and Han Xiu, He Zhizhang, and Xiao Song, who were originally welcoming the king, were all at a loss.
Until Li Wan left and Pei arranged for soldiers to take over Chang'an City.
He Zhizhang asked worriedly: "Will Jingyuan's move be too intense? I am worried that the rebellion will not be successful, and that will lead to division of the court, which is not good."
Han Xiu and Xiao Song both mean this, but they are not convenient for them to speak.
Pei shook his head and said, "Brother He, I originally had a gentle mind. I expected to take five years to handle the affairs of the temple and eliminate bad policies. Then I led my troops to Arabia to fulfill His Majesty's wishes." He laughed and said, "But there is no need to say much about the current situation. The situation in the world is so decayed that I have more or less responsibility. I thought I had enough time, but I ignored the fact that I had the plan and the success of the heaven. The longer the time delayed, the more variables. I returned to Chang'an this time to flatten all the ghosts and monsters, and I would not give Xiaoxiaomen any chance. At this point, I can only break without destruction or establishment, and if I am cruel to remove the rotten meat, where will the injury be healed? And..."
He paused and said, "So far, Prince Xin'an, Du Xian, and countless loyal and righteous heroes of the Tang Dynasty sacrificed their lives for the country and did not avenge them. How can we be worthy of them?"
He Zhizhang, Han Xiu and Xiao Song couldn't help but shivered when he heard this.
