The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

Although Japan and Yizhou are overseas places, because they are close to coastal cities such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, their relationship with the Tang Dynasty is not good.

Firstly, it was because the Tang Dynasty regarded these two places as uncivilized barbarian lands, and secondly, because the other party often attacked and plundered coastal cities and passing merchant ships and fishing boats, and slyly hid when the imperial court sent troops to conquer them.

But it is undeniable that these two places are strategically important. If they can be captured as a springboard to attack the inland, then Li Shimin's move to build the Great Wall on the Yellow River can only be a joke.

"Your Majesty's strategy is very clever. If you use Yizhou and Japanese countries as a springboard, conquering Chang'an will be as easy as picking out a bag!"

After a little analysis, Li Jing agreed with Li Changqing's strategy.

Just as the ministers were preparing to discuss the specific implementation details, a guard suddenly entered the hall, kowtowed to Li Changqing and said:"Your Majesty, the commander of the Shadow Guard is asking for an audience outside the hall.."

Li Changqing was slightly surprised. As the Shadow Guard is his direct intelligence agency, and Shadow is his most trusted right-hand man, he actually asked for a meeting during the court meeting. It must be something very important.

"declare"

"promise!"

The guards followed the order and left. Not long after, Shadow entered the hall under the leadership of the guards.

The ministers looked at this thin man with an ordinary appearance with some curiosity. It was the first time for everyone present except Li Xiuning. Meet the Shadow Guard Commander

"Kowtow to Your Majesty."

After seeing Li Changqing, Shadow immediately said respectfully

"No need to be polite, why are you so anxious to see me?"

Li Changqing asked directly.

"The subordinate was entrusted by Lord Gao Shilian to hand over this letter to His Majesty. Lord Gao said that this letter is related to the success or failure of Your Majesty's fight against the false emperor."

Shadow took out a well-sealed envelope from his arms and handed it to Li Changqing.

After hearing this, the expressions of the officials in the palace changed slightly. Even Li Changqing became somewhat interested. He opened the envelope directly and read it carefully. Get up.

When Li Changqing finished reading the letter, his face turned solemn.

The officials saw the change in Li Changqing's expression and were very curious about what was written in the letter.

"All your lords, please take a look."

Li Changqing did not hide his secrets, and ordered the letters to be circulated to hundreds of officials.

After they read the letter, they all showed joy!

Fang Xuanling was the first to smile and said:"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty! With the help of Mr. Gao, crossing the Yellow River is easy!"

They couldn't be unhappy because this letter came so timely!

Gao Shilian said in the letter that he knew Li Changqing's predicament and wanted to help him.

He had a close confidant who served as Li Shimin's military general, and this man The general happened to be among the 200,000 troops Li Shimin sent to guard the Yellow River!

Gao Shilian made it very clear in his letter that he could make this confidant work together inside and outside to disrupt the army and create opportunities for Li Changqing's army to cross the Yellow River!

The so-called sleepiness comes In order to send pillows, the ministers were still worried about how to cross the Yellow River, but they did not expect that things would turn around so quickly!

"Those who have attained the Dao will receive many help, while those who have lost the Dao will receive little help. The ancients are sincere and will not be deceived by me! Your Majesty is able to receive all kinds of help only by complying with destiny!"

Du Ruhui smiled while stroking his palms.

"The false emperor was cruel and unkind, but Gao Gong was a noble and upright minister, so how could he help the false emperor?"

Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

In the midst of the celebration, only Li Changqing looked thoughtful and asked the shadow:"How did Gao Gong contact you? Why would he suddenly help me?"

"To report to the master, Duke Gao only asked his subordinates to tell His Majesty that he regards the Queen as his own child."

Shadow replied.

This sentence may not seem like much, but only those who know it can understand the sadness in it.

Gao Shilian was the prime minister who was re-appointed by Li Yuan. He regarded Changsun Wuji and Changsun Wuji as his own children and cultivated them carefully.

But Changsun Wuji committed suicide. One can imagine how big a blow this had to him.

If Li Shimin won the final victory, then both Li Changqing and his concubines would definitely be slaughtered. How could Gao Shilian watch helplessly? His niece died?

Everyone has selfish motives.

Li Changqing was silent for a moment and then said:"I know, I would like to thank my uncle for his righteous deeds."

The shadow took the order and left the hall.

"Since we have uncle Guo's help, we will cross the Yellow River by force!"

Li Changqing's expression was cold, with a tone of iron-blooded killing.

The generals felt their blood boiling when they heard the words. They had been disgusted by Li Shimin's various insidious strategies for so long, and they were already impatient.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan to solve the problem of food and fodder for the army, but I don’t know if Your Majesty is willing to implement this plan."

Du Ruhui stepped forward and cupped his hands, his eyes twinkling.

"In my opinion, it is not that officials in Jiangnan and other places are unwilling to help His Majesty, they are just afraid of the iron-blooded methods of the puppet emperor, but they still care for His Majesty.

In this case, why didn't King Wu order the removal of officials of all sizes in Jiangnan and send someone to take over the entire Jiangnan area?"

As soon as Du Ruhui said this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Why did no officials in Jiangnan dare to help Li Changqing? Is it because they felt that Li Changqing was not orthodox?

No, in the final analysis, it was just because they were afraid of Li Shimin's iron-blooded methods, but if they King Wu, who exercised power on behalf of the emperor, was dismissed from his official position. What could Li Shimin do to them?

"What a brilliant idea!"

Li Changqing praised highly that their previous thoughts were limited, and the strategy proposed by Du Ruhui was very clever.

Since Li Shimin wants to kill those officials who dare to obey King Wu's orders, then just remove them from their positions. What can you, Li Shimin, do?

……

After Li Changqing decided to adopt Du Ruhui's strategy, he quickly put it into action. He issued an imperial edict in the name of King Wu to remove officials of sixth grade and above from their official positions in Jiangnan and other places.

After the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar, and officials in Jiangnan and other places were stunned, and then they were sincerely happy!

Li Shimin hung a butcher's knife over each of their heads, making them sleepless and uneasy, for fear that they would be accused of treason and executed.

Although Li Changqing's move caused them to lose their official positions, didn't it save their lives and help them escape from this battle for imperial power?

……

He will soon cross the Yellow River to fight Li Shimin. Readers, please don’t panic, as the plot will not be delayed.

You can't go back to Youzhou and fight immediately. You have to prepare food and grass. Without food and grass, all talk is empty.

Moreover, Li Shimin knew that the protagonist was going to hit him, so he must be on guard.

We can't write Li Shimin as mentally retarded.

Due to the pressure from readers and the crazy subscriptions, the author had no choice but to revise the outline and write it according to everyone's ideas. It was simple and crude.
