Chapter 529: Foregone Conclusion
Mountain top.
Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang were killed one after another, and the Zuowei rebels quickly collapsed under the joint attack of the remaining Zuowuwei troops and the new force Shenji Battalion. As groups of soldiers camped on the left and right moved up to the top of the mountain, the sudden rebellion was quickly put down.
Cheng Yaojin was attacked by Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang and almost lost his life. He was originally filled with hatred and wanted to crush these two men to ashes in order to relieve his hatred. But at this time, when I saw Hou Junji lying on the ground, he was already stunned, but his eyes were still wide open. His body was stabbed with spears, leaving dozens of bloody holes, and his flesh and blood were blurred. On the other side, Li Yuanchang's body was missing. I couldn't help but feel a little sad that the rabbit was dead and the fox was dead.
Thinking back then, we were all brothers working desperately in the trenches. Seeing that we were in such a miserable situation due to a mistake, we suddenly felt unbearable.
At the same time, I also had some doubts in my heart. What did Hou Junji mean by what he said before he died?
Which of the Shenji Camp and the left and right camps that came quickly is the backup that His Majesty has arranged in advance?
But even though he was muttering in his heart, it didn't show on his face.
Cheng Yaojin is a bit of a fool, but most people can't live without him. No matter how the clown dances and dances, as long as he hugs the thigh of His Majesty Li Er, there is nothing wrong! It is this seemingly simple but actually wise strategy that has allowed him to never make any team mistakes!
Chai Zhewei, the general of the right camp, was dressed in military uniform and walked over with a tall and straight figure. His Majesty Li Er came forward and knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, the rebels Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang have been killed. All the rebels from the left guard have been wiped out. Surrender to custody! Your Majesty will punish you for being late for rescue!”
His Majesty Li Er nodded: "What is the situation in Chang'an City?"
No plan can be absolutely perfect. This time, although he had made arrangements in advance, he ordered the left and right camps stationed outside Xuanwu Gate to keep an eye on the situation at the top of Lishan Mountain. If something was wrong, they would immediately go to the mountain to help the king.
There are elite "Hundred Cavalry" guards around him, enough to withstand the arrival of reinforcements.
Unexpectedly, it was the Shenji Battalion, which was originally included in the rebel formation by His Majesty Li Er, who took the lead in counterattack and defeated Hou Junji's left guard, which was regarded as the first achievement...
Could it be that Changsun Chong was not involved in the rebellion?
His Majesty Li Er was confused for a moment.
Everything was His Majesty Li Er's guess, but the facts proved that his guess was correct. Hou Junji rebelled, Li Yuanchang rebelled, but Changsun Chong...
Perhaps it was precisely because of his hostility to the prince that he did not participate in this rebellion?
Putting it this way, it makes sense.
Chai Zhewei said respectfully: "After receiving the news of the rebellion on the top of the mountain, the general immediately set off to escort him. At the same time, he notified the Jinwu Guards and the left and right Yi Guards in the city to immediately close the city gate and strictly guard the palace. I don't think there will be any rebellion by the rebels."< br>
Chai Zhewei was very excited.
Although Chang Sun Chong took away the first victory in pacifying the rebels, he was not too disappointed.
Being able to be arranged by the emperor to come to the rescue at the most important moment is enough to prove the emperor's trust in him. As long as there is this trust, why worry about not having the opportunity to make meritorious deeds?
Looking ahead, there is a bright future!
His Majesty Li Er breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he looked away from the brightly armored Forbidden Army and looked at the common people and merchants wailing in a pool of blood, his heart felt a little heavy.
These people are innocent...
Originally, this was just a grand gathering about the super sky lantern. It was Li Shimin who chose to connive in order to test who secretly wanted to rebel against him and support the crown prince, and thus implicated these people.
In the melee, these unarmed ordinary people and ordinary businessmen naturally became the most tragic targets.
However, it is His Majesty Li Er after all.
Li Shimin, who has gone through blood and fire, dared to fight three thousand against one hundred thousand in front of Hulao Pass, and was able to kill brothers and brothers under the Xuanwu Sect. His will has been tempered to be as hard as stone!
My mood only became slightly heavier, and then returned to normal.
For the stability of the Tang Dynasty, what could not be sacrificed?
At the mountain pass, there was another commotion, but all the civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty who had received news of the rebellion on the top of the mountain rushed over.
Led by Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, a group of ministers hurriedly came to His Majesty Li Er and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Emperor was safe and sound. Just looking at this mountain of corpses, everyone shuddered again!
How could Hou Junji act like this if he has lost his mind?
Fortunately, he was killed on the spot. If his rebellion was successful, I can hardly imagine what the Tang Dynasty would be like tomorrow!
"Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, and we congratulate him!"
All the ministers bowed and saluted, shouting loudly.
"Gather the people on the top of the mountain and make statistics. Regardless of the casualties, all must be compensated accordingly. We must stabilize people's hearts. I don't want to hear any rumors that are detrimental to the imperial court." His Majesty Li Er sank. Xi Shui said in a deep voice.
"No!" This kind of thing is naturally the task of the prime minister Fang Xuanling, and Fang Xuanling quickly agreed.
His Majesty Li Er asked again: "Is there any change in the prince?"
All the ministers were silent.
Everyone got the news that Hou Junji and Han Wang Li Yuanchang rebelled in the name of protecting the crown prince's accession to the throne. Now that Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang have both been killed, how can the prince be safe?
But the problem is that these words were only spoken by Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang, and there was no movement from the prince. How should we deal with this?
No smart person would say anything about this kind of thing.
And during the Zhenguan Dynasty, there was never a shortage of smart people...
Therefore, no one dared to answer His Majesty Li Er's words.
No one can guarantee that the prince is really innocent, and no one dares to say that the prince is really involved...
At this time, a military general reported: "Some soldiers claimed that Zhao Jie, the son of Princess Changguang, was in collusion with the King of Han Li Yuanchang. He had previously been ordered by Li Yuanchang to go to Fangjia Manor to capture His Highness the King of Wei..."
His Majesty Li Er was shocked: "Zhao Jie? He deserves death! Has King Wei ever fallen into their hands?"
The general shook his head and said: "The surrendered soldier doesn't know the details."
His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "Even so, why don't you send someone to Fangjia Manor as soon as possible?"
"No!" The military general took the order, ordered a group of people, and hurried down the mountain road.
His Majesty Li Er couldn't stay any longer and immediately ordered to go down the mountain.
In the Fang family manor, there is not only Wei King Li Tai, but also his three daughters! If the rebels really attack the manor, the group of forbidden troops he sent to Li Tai may be outnumbered! If the children of King Wei, Changle, Gao Yang, and Jinyang all fall into the hands of the rebels, the consequences will be unimaginable!
At this moment, His Majesty Li Er was no longer interested in strategizing, and his panic was no different from ordinary parents worrying about their children...

Princess Changle turned around lightly, looked at Fang Jun with her bright eyes, and said softly: "Being born in an emperor's family, it seems that you are well-dressed, well-educated, and have a noble status, but in fact there are many unavoidable difficulties. Marriage is the most helpless one among them. One thing.”
Fang Jun nodded slightly to express his understanding.
Not to mention that in this feudal era, it is a new century that is known to smash all feudal dross. In order to consolidate interests, marriage is still the most basic method for some wealthy and senior officials.
The orders of parents and the words of matchmakers are not just words!
The more prominent a family is, the less they can decide on marriage. Since you have been blessed by your family since you were born, you must always be aware of dedicating yourself to the family, even if it means your life, let alone marriage?
Princess Changle's smile was a bit bitter, but her tone was still calm and gentle, just like her clear and beautiful temperament, without any fluctuations.
"In comparison, Shu'er is lucky. Do you know? Every time he talks about his marriage, Shu'er will be very happy to be able to follow his father's will and marry a minister in the court, and the partner is the one he likes. , what could be more perfect than this? You risk your life to save Shu'er at Jingshui Bridge, and Shu'er will be gone. Don't worry, it's all about you. This girl is a bit unruly and willful, but she is extremely stubborn. Even her father cannot easily change what happened today, even if she goes through it again, I believe her. I will still push you away without hesitation and take the arrow myself!”
Princess Changle's eyes were very bright, her eyelashes were thick and long, and her voice was clear and sweet: "Shu'er has no other intentions for Master Bianji. It was just a misunderstanding in front of Ximing Temple that day. Because of that incident, Shu'er secretly cried Several times. Did you know that this stubborn girl would not hesitate even when she was punished by her father? Wouldn't I shed a tear to win sympathy? If I didn't show my deepest affection to you, I would never do this. I just want to let you know that in Shu'er's heart, you are the only one, even if I go there for you. She is willing to die. But what else can’t you let go of?”
Today I went to remove a traffic violation and was deducted 29 points and fined 4,300 yuan. I was also drunk...
