Time Travel: Unrivaled in the Tang Dynasty

咣 咣 咣!

The bell rang throughout the entire Chang'an City!

The national mourning bells are ringing!

"His Majesty is gone!" Ye Haoran murmured!

"Everyone will have this day, it's nothing strange!" Chang Sun Yi drank the wine in the bowl and didn't take it seriously!

"You deliberately led me out of the city? If I'm not mistaken, the gates of Chang'an should have been closed now!" Ye Haoran looked straight at Changsun Yi!

"closed!"

"Why do you do this?"

"Li Zhi said that if he leads you out of the city today, he will give me the commander of the Imperial Guards!"

"It's not like your character to betray your friends in order to become an official."

"It's not really a betrayal! You came with me of your own accord!"

Ye Haoran opened his mouth, unable to refute!

It is understandable that the new emperor is eager to take back the military power and stabilize the court, but this is too hasty!

Forget it, it's out now! I won't worry about those troubles anymore!

The most important thing right now is to get this scoundrel on the opposite side drunk!

Bowl after bowl, after finishing one bowl there are still three bowls left!

"Will we become enemies?" Ye Haoran asked, both of them were already drunk!

"No! I don't care about anything else. I just want to stay by Mei Niang's side and watch her joys and sorrows! That's enough!"

"Alas! There is no cure!"

The sun sets, the sky is filled with morning glow, and it looks like blood!

In a blink of an eye, it was the next day, and the two of them drank in an inn outside the city for three days in a row!

Li Zhi took three days to control all the sixteen imperial guards in Chang'an! On the day when Li Shimin's coffin was transported to Zhaoling Mausoleum, all the old officials in the army resigned!

The new emperor completely took control of the military power! But the drawbacks also emerged! A large number of generals were replaced, causing the military to be unstable! Some people with ulterior motives began to spread rumors!

The border situation is also becoming tense! Vassal states from all directions are deploying troops on the border!

The gates of Chang'an are open! If it weren't for the people in the city who were hard to leave, Ye Haoran would have wanted to just leave. Out of sight, out of mind!

Chang Sunyi left without saying goodbye, and Ye Haoran went to Chang'an alone! The streets of Chang'an City were as lively as ever!

When he returned to the Ye Mansion, he saw the Jinwu Guards standing in front of the door! Li Xiuning stood at the door, at a loss!

"Your Highness! What's the matter?"

"Brother Ye! You're back! His Majesty invites you into the palace!"

Ye Haoran found it ridiculous for a moment. Three days ago, they were in a hurry to lure him out of Chang'an, and now they are in a hurry to recruit him into the palace!

"Then let's go!"

Ye Haoran glanced at Li Xiuning, who lowered her head and dared not look at him, and the Jinwu Guards on both sides of the street!

Ye Haoran and Li Xiuning came to the Taiji Hall. Li Zhi was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon throne. Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other civil officials had frowns on their faces. Among the military generals, except for Li Ji, there were several young faces, none of whom Ye Haoran recognized!

"Lord Ye! You are here! There are wars all over the border! The country is in danger. What should we do?"

"I will obey your majesty's orders!"

Li Zhi's face changed and he looked gloomy:

"General Ye, are you unwilling to share my worries?"

"General Ye, you are the Supreme Pillar of the Tang Dynasty and the General of the Cavalry. You are highly regarded by the late emperor. You must not think too highly of yourself and fail to be grateful!" The Prime Minister Changsun Wuji echoed!

"Your Majesty! Would you like to hear my humble opinion?" Ye Haoran ignored Changsun Wuji and looked up at Li Zhi!

"Tell me!"

"In the northeast, the Liaodong Grand Marshal Xue Li is in charge, so there is no need to worry in the short term. The remnants of the Eastern Turkic army in the east are not a concern, and the scabies in the south can be deterred by powerful generals! The real crisis comes from the Tibetan Empire and the Western Turkic in the southwest. They have been eyeing the Western Regions for a long time. Now the road to the Western Regions has been cut off by Tibetans, and the Beiting Duhu Mansion exists in name only! Although the Anxi Protectorate still has correspondence, it is also in danger!"

"Humph! General Ye, there is no need to exaggerate! Beiting Duhufu and Anxi Duhufu have 100,000 Tang Dynasty garrisons. The Western Turks live in a barren land, so how dare they invade with their skinny men and frail horses! Tubo and the Tang Dynasty have always been at peace. Although there are some minor frictions, they are unintentional. We can appease them by sending envoys with some gold and silk!"

Changsun Wuji pinched his beard, looked at Ye Haoran confidently and continued:

"General Ye is making alarmist statements because he wants military power!"
