Chapter 809 Under the City

"The old minister will see your majesty!"

It was past noon, but Zhang Jianzhi did not go to rest. He led a group of officials of the East Palace to be busy in the study. When he saw Li Xianda walking in, he quickly stood up, knelt on the ground, and saluted in a choked tone.

"Sir, you don't have to do this. I can inherit the great treasure. I am the first achievement. I have issued an edict to make you the Duke of the Protection of the country and join the government office. You and I have an encounter, and we must do a great job well. It is not easy to do a good beginning and end."

Looking at Zhang Jianzhi, who was so excited that he couldn't hold himself, Li Xian's mood inevitably fluctuated. Without it, the king and minister had been with him for more than ten years, and he had encountered countless disturbances. If it hadn't been for the help of such a loyal old minister like Zhang Jianzhi, Li Xian could not guarantee that he could live safely. Now, the fruit of victory is ripe. It's really time to be a meritorious minister. At this point, Li Xian has always been stingy, and it is even more impossible to do stupid things to kill donkeys.

"The old minister thanked Your Majesty for your kindness. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Zhang Jianzhi was only a Jinshi at the age of 40. He was a late man. He painstakingly supported Li Xian in order to be able to enter the phase one day in the future. At this time, he got Li Xian's personal promise, and he was so excited that he burst into tears.

"Sir, please get up. Although the overall situation has been decided, the aftermath is not over. I still need you to help me."

Although Li Xian's mood is excited, he will never miss the business. After all, although the matter of forcing the palace is over, the hearts of the people in Luoyang City are still uncertain. In addition, there is the army of the King of Yue coming. Li Xianshi has no time to sigh more about the difficulties of the past years, so he reached out to help Zhang Jianzhi up and said solemnly.

"Your Majesty's words are serious. The old minister thinks he is trying his best to think about it, and he dares not bear the holy grace."

Zhang Jianzhi is a wise man in the world. Although he is excited by the fulfillment of his wishes for many years, he will not delay the business. He took a small step back and replied with an excited expression.

"Well, that's fine. Sir, please sit down. Zhuang Yong will stay, and the rest will be busy."

Li Xian had some concern in his heart and didn't want to waste time, so he went to the back of the first copywriting. With a wave of his hand, he withdrew all the officials, and then sat down with the hem of his robe.

"Your Majesty, Zhuang Zhang always has an emergency military situation to report."

Zhang Jianzhi did not sit down at the lower end as usual, but bowed slightly, stood at the lower head, and reported cautiously.

"Well, let's say it."

At this time, Zhang Jianzhi was no longer as calm and casual as in the past, but was very restrained. Li Xian unconsciously frowned slightly, but at the end, he did not say much. He just secretly sighed in his heart that the gully of kings and ministers had been completed, and it was difficult to have the opportunity to sit and laugh in the past. He couldn't help but feel lonely. It surged up.

"Your Majesty, according to the Caizhou line, the Xiangzhou army has a total of 120,000. It has reached the territory of Caizhou and is rushing to Mengjin. Its front has a total of 5,000-step cavalry, led by Li Qian, the assassin of Caizhou. It has seized the Laohekou when the Yellow River is frozen. Tang Jian of Mengjinzhi County fled when the wind heard the wind, and Mengjin may have lost. In addition, according to Wei The mountain sent an urgent report, the mountain avalanche, the road was blocked, and our army in Hexi was blocked in front of the customs. General Lin had recruited the people to dredge the road. However, the disaster was serious, and it may take five days to dig the road. Then, the Ministry of officials ordered Pei Shoude to meet with more than a dozen ministers, including Jinwuwei Zhonglang and Lu Qisheng, who wanted to create chaos in the city to meet the army of the king of Yue. , my subordinates have sent people to closely monitor. For all the above, please inspect them.

The situation was urgent, and Zhuang Yong couldn't take care of much. He hurriedly bowed down and reported the summary news of "Mingyi" one by one.

Avalanche? Damn, it's a big trouble this time!

Hearing the avalanche of Laoshan Pass, Li Xian's heart couldn't help sinking, nothing else, just because Li Xian's hope of defeating the Xiangzhou army was all pinned on the arrival of the Hexi army. Now under the avalanche and the road closure, the journey of the Hexi army is doomed to be delayed. In this way, the pressure of Dongdu has suddenly increased a lot. Whether it can stick to the arrival of the Hexi army is really unknown - even if it is a five-day road, the Hexi army will travel day and night, and it will take ten days at the earliest to get to the city, while the Xiangzhou army crossing the frozen Yellow River is a matter of time. Even if it is slightly adjusted in Mengjin, it will not reach Luoyang City for more than three days. Come on, in the face of the siege of more than 100,000 troops in Xiangzhou, it is obviously difficult to defend the lonely city for seven days with the 12,000 troops in the city. In case the Hexi army can't arrive in time, the consequences are really unimaginable.

"What do you think of this, sir?"

After Li Xian frowned and thought about it, he had a problem in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to make the next decision, but quietly threw the problem to Zhang Jianzhi.

"In the words of your majesty, the old minister thought that those who are outsiders must first settle down. This matter should be scored four steps. First of all, your majesty must ascend the throne as soon as possible, change the yuan, and tell the world in the name of righteousness. Secondly, he should announce the rebellion of the king of Yue to the world, and should first cut off his wings in the city by means of peril; Third, declare the big Amnesty, to comfort the people, especially the hearts of the people in the post-party; fourth, the recruitment and strength of the people, especially the families of all prefectures, Ding Shangcheng to assist in the defense. As for the specific arrangement of the war, not the director of the old minister, I really dare not say it, and ask your majesty to arbitrarily.

Long before Li Xian's return, Zhang Jianzhi had already figured out everything. At this time, he answered that he was very well-organized.

"Okay, what you said is very suitable for me. That's it. Mr. Zhuang Zhang immediately wrote to Lin Chengbin to speed up the speed of dredging. Be sure to get to Luoyang within ten days!"

What Zhang Jianzhi said is exactly what Li Xian thought - the post-party has no support of the Wuhou, and it has long been a leader. It's okay to clean up whenever you want. You don't have to rush for a while. First give him an amnesty to calm his heart. It's not too late to slowly calculate the general ledger in the future. If you want to add guilt, there is no need to worry about it. It's the first series of the Yuewang Mansion. Officials can't stay, and they have to deal with it quickly, so that they can deter the unfaithful people in the city, and then receive a big amnesty edict. The people who were originally panicked can also be stabilized. Once the interior is stable, the pressure to defend the city will be much less. In view of this, Li Xian does not hesitate much. As soon as he shoots the copywriting, even if he makes a decision... /P>

On the eleventh day of the first month of the second year of Yonglong, Prince Li Xian sacrificed heaven and earth in front of the Deyang Hall, told the world, ascended the throne as emperor, and changed its name to "Qiyuan". It was the first year of Qiyuan, and issued four imperial edicts in a row. First, the crown princess Zhao Qiong was the queen, the princess of the Mingyue was the de concubine, Shangguan Wan'er was the concubine Mei, and Yanhong was the concubine Rong; the second was Pei Xing. Jian led the funeral. Emperor Gaozong was appointed as the emperor of the Great Sage Hongxiao. The temple name was Gaozong. Third, he announced that Li Zhen, the king of Yue, was a traitor, and ordered the world to fight for it together. He also ordered Li Duozuo, the general of Zuo Yulin Army, to lead his troops to arrest Pei Shoude, Lu Qisheng and other traitors who participated in the rebellion of the king of Yue. Fourth, he announced that Luoyang would impose a curfew and entered the war. The imperial edict summoned all the princes, the Houfu's family and the people's strong to defend the city. Li Duozuo, the general of the Yulin Army, led 3,000 troops to guard the south gate, Pei Xingjian led 3,500 troops to guard the north gate, Cheng Wuting, the general of the Yulin Army, led 3,000 troops to guard the west gate, and Li Xian led the Donggongwei led 3,000 troops to guard the east gate.

At three o'clock at noon on the twelfth day of the first month of the first year of Qiyuan, more than 20 officials of the captured Pei Shoude and other Yue kings were taken to the head of the city, beheaded and sacrificed the flag, and hung their heads at the north gate to show the public. More than a thousand of the families of the criminals were not slaves. At the end of the official, the emperor issued an imperial edict to amnesty to the world. The people in the later party, except for Jia Chaoyin's imprisonment, all the rest were not investigated. With this edict, the people who were originally frightened were at ease, and all the preparations were in an orderly manner. At night, under the heart of all the people, the city defense has gradually been solidified.

"Your Majesty, it's already dawn. It's time for you to have breakfast."

In the gate building of the north gate of Luoyang City, Li Xianduan, dressed in a uniform, sat in front of the copywriting and was immersed in correcting the memorial. Ying Ting's face was full of fatigue, which made Gao Mi, who walked into the building with a food box in person, couldn't help but feel a burst of heartache. He walked close to the corners of his eyes and whispered him.

"Oh? Let it go first, and I'll use it in a while!"

Hearing the sound, Li Xian raised his head and looked at the bright sky outside the building. After casually ordering, he first stretched out his waist, and then reached out and rubbed his already stiff face vigorously, showing his fatigue.

Luoyang is known as Jiancheng, but in fact, in addition to the high wall, the city defense facilities can only be described by the word simple. There are only more than 20 people guarding the crossbows on the huge wall, and they are scattered on the four walls. Most of them are relics of the Taizong period. Although the warranty is good, the aging of the components is inevitable. In order to strengthen the city defense, Li Xian tried his best these two days to command in person. After two days and two nights in a row, he finally saw the first results. He finally got a chance to take a respite, but he had to correct the backlog due to the laziness of the post-party of martial arts, which really made Li Xian tired.

"Your Majesty, the Empress has explained that this porridge and cakes are used while they are hot, you see..."

Gao Miao has been loyal to Li Xian for more than 20 years. He knows Li Xian's nature. If he doesn't finish his business, he will definitely not eat. The thick pile of unapproved memorials on the copywriting is obviously not able to do anything for a while. He refused to give up. He smiled carelessly and raised the emperor. Later Zhao Qiong's big brand.

"Oh, slippery!"

Knowing that Gao Mi was pulling the tiger's skin as a flag, Li Xian was not surprised. He just laughed and scolded. He casually put down the red pen and was about to reach for the chopsticks. A sense of heart palpitations suddenly surged up in his heart, and his hand couldn't help but freeze.

"Woo, woo, woo, woo..."

As soon as he saw Li Xian suddenly move, Gao Mi was stunned. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he heard a sad horn sound, and his face turned white in an instant.

is coming, it's finally coming!

Waiting for Gao Miao to come to his senses, Li Xian's body only flashed and he was already standing at the city plate. At a glance, he saw that in the snow in the distance, the army of black crows was coming to Luoyang City, and his heart couldn't help sink...
