The romantic of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 616 Lifting weights lightly

"How can this be? Haven't I ordered to release food? Why do the disaster victims still come together? This, this, this..."

Even if the emperor is sympathetic to the people, the bottom of his heart is finally the string of the people's defense. Even Gaozong, a sageable monarch, is no exception. After a short shock, there is endless panic. Poor Gao Zong's body and bones are not very strong. When he is scared again, his whole body is already trembling.

"According to His Majesty's words, according to the slaves and maidservants, it was because of the rumor that the East Palace would open warehouses and release grain, a large number of disaster victims came to eat, but this number was really amazing. According to visuals, it has exceeded 200,000. General Xue and General Qiwei have led their troops to arrive, but the number of disaster victims is too large, which is difficult to stop. Special dispatch The maidservant came to complain in a hurry. I hope your majesty can make a holy decision as soon as possible.

Although most of the courtiers knew about the rumors circulating in the market, most of them did not know how the rumor came from. Since no one could answer Gao Zong's question, they could only stand in con'santically. On the contrary, the close servant who came to report the news was still a little bold and hurried to explain.

"Holyduan? Ah, come on, order the army to be transferred. Come on, pass on my order to transfer the army to calm down the chaos!"

Gao Zong was not a very bold person. At this moment, he was completely panicked. He couldn't think more about the reason for the incident and roared again and again.

"Your Majesty, please wait. Don't transfer troops at this time. On the one hand, it's not too late, and on the other hand, it may be a big disaster to stimulate the civil uprising. I think that this matter was caused by His Royal Highness, and I think that His Royal Highness must have a good solution to solve it. I respectfully ask His Royal Highness to preside over the matter."

Dispatching troops to calm down the chaos can certainly solve the problems at present, but there are many future troubles. Besides, if the troops are really transferred, won't it let Li Xian escape the disaster? Naturally, this is not the situation that the Empress Wu Party is happy to agree on. It is precisely because of such considerations. Without waiting to get close to the waiter, Jia Chaoyin is already in a panic. He grabbed it and rudely pushed the problem to Li Xian.

"Your Majesty, what Jia Xiang said is very true. You have to tie the bellman to untie the bell. At this critical juncture, let Xian's try it first."

Queen Wu set up such a big situation in order to cut Li Xian's prestige fiercely. She would not let go of such a good opportunity to stir up trouble, and did not wait for the ministers to react very much. She was already the first to affirm Jia Chaoyin's advice.

"Well, well, Xian'er, would you like to solve this crisis for your father?"

Gao Zong was originally a person with no big opinion. At this time, after listening to Wu Hou, he affirmed Jia Chaoyin's statement, and the idea of mobilizing troops to calm down the chaos was also given up. He was just worried that Li Xian could not cope with the crisis, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little. However, at the bottom, his worries about the situation still prevailed, so he looked at Li Xian with a sad face. He asked tentatively.

"To my father's words, I would like to try my best!"

Li Xian naturally knows what kind of situation he is facing, but he doesn't mind at all. In his opinion, the final result of the game set by Queen Wu can only be to lift a stone and hit his own foot. However, Li Xian doesn't want to speak too full, so he bows solemnly to Gao Zong with a solemn face and speaks cautiously. The ground replied.

"Well, well, be careful. If not, don't force it."

As soon as he heard that Li Xian agreed to this obviously difficult request, although Gao Zong's heart was a little relaxed, his guilt rose again, and he said a few words uneasily.

"Father, don't worry, the child will go back."

Although Li Xian was not afraid of the situation set up by the Empress Wu, he did not dare to be careless. It was only because once the blind victims really made trouble, the consequences were quite unbearable. He didn't want to delay more here, so he answered respectfully and quickly walked out of the gazebo and led dozens of relatives out of the East Palace. Go straight to the blockade line of the Yulin Army.

At the edge of the small square outside the East Palace Gate, Xue Rengui and the two generals of the Yulin Army, who were dressed in armor, stood in front of the front of each other. After them were 4,000 Yulin officers and soldiers in a neat arrangement. The knives were strong out of the sheath, and the bows and crossbows were in full swing. Although they were speechless, the murderous atmosphere was soaring up. The vigilance was not strict, but it was not bad. In this way, the two veterans are still full of tension on their faces, because what they have to face is not the enemy armed to the teeth, but the unarmed disaster victims, who can't kill and can't be killed, and it is difficult to persuade. This makes the two veteran veterans have a sense of bored with nowhere to focus, and they can only look forward to the saint of Gaozong helplessly. The purpose is to come.

"Report, two generals, the first line of defense has been broken through, and the disaster victims are rushing to the second line of defense!"

The imperial edict did not come for a long time, but a cavalryman rushed in front of him brought a bad news to the two veterans.

"Explore again!"

General Yulin's army said that it was an equal position, but Xue Rengui's military qualification was much higher than that of Qi He Li. Naturally, he became the commander-in-chief. The news from the whistle was extremely not optimistic. Xue Rengui's eyebrows were immediately locked, but there was no special instructions, but his face was gloomy. The hand sent the rider whistle away.

"General Xue, it's not the way to wait like this. I'm afraid that the second line of defense will soon be unprotected. You and I have to take care of it. I'm afraid we have to prepare for the worst."

Compared with Xue Rengui's calmness, Qi He Like was relatively impatient. Seeing that Xue Rengui had not made a decision for a long time, he was anxious, so he lowered his voice and said something.

"Alas, wait a minute."

Xue Rengui doesn't know that the second line of defense is also difficult to stop the footsteps of the victims. He also knows that once the disaster victims have a riot/riot, the whole situation will be degraded to an impossible situation. However, before the holy order has been given, he does not dare or unwilling to order the slaughter. At this time, in addition to wait, he can't think about it. .

"Let go of food, we want food, give us food!"

"Let's go. The East Palace is about to arrive, and there will be food!"

"There is food to survive. Come on, guys, come on!"

......

Qiqi He Li's expectation was not bad at all. The imperial edict did not arrive, but the disaster victims rushed first. Countless yellow and thin disaster victims rushed along the South Street like a tide. There was a burst of roar. The Yulin officers and soldiers who had never been in battle were in a panic for a long time. If it weren't for Xue Rengui and Qi The two generals of Fu Heli have always stood in front of the battle like a mountain. I'm afraid that these old soldiers who have never seen blood have already fled in a swarm.

"The whole army is on guard, and those who dare to cross the street will be killed without mercy!"

In the face of the surging tide of disaster victims, even if Xue Rengui couldn't bear it any more, he did not dare to have much pity, just because behind him was the imperial city. Once the victims rushed into the palace, it would be a huge disaster. At this time, Xue Rengui could only grit his teeth and roared and issued a killing order.

"No!"

Since the general had already issued the order, the Yulin officers and soldiers were so scared that they trembled all over, but they could only respond in unison. However, the voice of the answer was not loud, and it was uneven, which obviously exposed the essence of the Yulin army's fierceness.

"No action, I'm here!"

Although the combat strength of the Yulin Army is not very good, after all, it is an army armed to the teeth. Once the action is started, the casualties of the disaster victims are probably not small. When a massacre was about to begin, it sounded like a bolt from the blue, and all the Yulin officers and soldiers who were nervously preparing for the war were He was so shocked that he couldn't help looking back and saw that Li Xian, dressed in a bright yellow robe, had led dozens of East Palace guards to the rear.

"The last general Xue Rengui (qi bi He Li) see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

As soon as they saw Li Xian coming at this critical moment, the two veterans couldn't help but be worried. They were afraid that Li Xian would make some mistakes in the chaos. However, Li Xian had arrived, and the second generals muttered to themselves, but they could only grab the front and salute in unison in unison.

"The two generals don't have to be polite, and please lead the troops and horses to withdraw into the palace gate, and it will be handed over to the palace to deal with it."

The tide of disaster victims is approaching, and the time is tight. Li Xian can't take care of much politeness, so he raised his hand and ordered firmly.

"Ah..., Your Highness, this..."

"Your Highness, this is critical, you..."

Hearing Li Xian's words, the two veterans became anxious. If Li Xian made a mistake in the disaster, the consequences would not be affordable for the two generals.

"It doesn't matter. I have my own way to deal with it. I will execute the order immediately!"

Although he appreciates the loyalty of the second general, there is no room for any delay. Li Xian can't explain much. He can only tighten his face and shout in a clear tone.

"No!"

Li Xian is the crown prince. Since he has made a decree, although the two veterans were worried and uneasy, they did not dare to go against it. They could only answered loudly and commanded a group of Yulin officers and soldiers to withdraw to the gate of the palace, but they did not strictly follow Li Xian's order to withdraw the whole army to the palace, let alone close the East Palace. The gate, but lined up in front of the palace gate, put on a posture that the deputy was ready to rush out to respond at any time.

"I'm here, Li Xian, and everyone will stop!"

The tide of disaster victims surged very fast. As soon as the Yulin officers and soldiers withdrew for a while, the tide of disaster victims at the far end of the long street had surged to a distance of less than 30 steps away from where Li Xian stood. It only took a few more breaths. Li Xian and others were afraid that they could not escape the fate of being submerged by the tide of refugees. Seeing this, Li Xian did not dare to neglect it. Go, he was full of breath and let out a thunderous roar. The sound was like thunder, with the ability to crack clouds and penetrate stones, which shocked the crowds all over the street in an instant.

"Look, that's His Royal Highness, what a prince!"

"Quick, kneel down!"

"His Royal Highness is here. I'll wait to be saved. That's great, that's great!"

......

Although a group of disaster victims were shocked by the sound of Li Xian's broken shouts, their footsteps also stopped. However, many people recognized Li Xian in bright yellow clothes. The ecstatic words instantly sounded around the crowd, and countless disaster victims knelt on the ground, and the tense riot/riot scene. The face seemed to be under control, but the two veterans, Xue Rengui and Qi Heli, still tightened their faces and did not dare to relax at all, because they all knew how fragile the so-called controlled situation was. If Li Xian could not come up with an answer to the satisfaction of the disaster victims later, the consequences would be unimaginable. The...
