Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

The prince's personal guards who were stationed around shouted at the top of their lungs, spreading what the prince had said.

The soldier columns under the city wall quickly changed their slogans after being notified by their respective generals.

"Loyalty to the emperor, protection of the country, to ensure the safety of the country!"

"To seek welfare for the people and to bring peace to the world forever!"

When Li Chengqian heard the soldiers' shouts, a complacent smile appeared on his face.

The military appearance, military style and military might displayed here are quite good, and they are truly worthy of being the troops commanded by Du He!

Li Chengqian turned to look at Du He beside him, a hint of pride on his face as he asked, "Du He, what do you think of the soldiers' new slogans?"

"Is the scale suddenly enlarged?"

Du He looked at the complacent Li Chengqian, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

And expand the pattern?

Changing slogans...

The slogans he gave to the soldiers were aimed at the 76 princes who wanted to cause trouble.

It turns out that the content of the slogan is very simple, that is, if you dare to cause trouble in your fiefdom, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will be able to crush you.

Now that Li Chengqian has gotten involved, there is less murderous intent.

Du He looked at Li Chengqian's expectant expression and said, "The new slogan is ambitious and touching. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is truly a genius!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince is wise!"

After saying this, Du He sighed in his heart.

Hey!

In the future, I will have to inform Li Chengqian in advance about this kind of little surprise that is not in my tacit understanding.

The civil and military officials standing around changed their expressions slightly when they heard Du He's words.

Without any hesitation, they all bowed in the direction of Li Chengqian.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is wise!"

Hearing the compliments from the officials and the shouts from the soldiers, Li Chengqian laughed wildly in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm on his face.

After the voices of the civil and military officials died down, Li Chengqian gave orders to Lai Ji.

"Let all the clan members come over and watch the might of the soldiers with me!"

After Lai Ji received the order and left.

Li Chengqian continued, "Du He, Li Daozong, Xue Rengui, Cheng Yaojin, and Pei Xingjian, please stay around me."

"promise."

The five people whose names were called hurriedly bowed and saluted.

At the signal of the prince's personal guards, the other civil and military officials moved to the sides, leaving a small space.

Dozens of Li clan members came over with serious expressions, and upon closer inspection, their legs were trembling.

They all knew in their hearts that Du He and the prince were setting a Hongmen Banquet for them!

And it was an unprecedented Hongmen Banquet!

Li Chengqian stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the soldiers below, and asked the clan members around him.

"My dear uncles, are our Tang Dynasty soldiers brave and valiant?"

The expressions of the clan members changed slightly. They looked at each other and then responded in a low voice.

"Brave."

Hearing the fear in the clan members' voices, Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction.

Li Chengqian's lips curled up as he spoke, "Since the 10th year of the Zhenguan era, it has been exactly four and a half years. This group of warriors has already wiped out the ten foreign tribes surrounding the Tang Dynasty."

"The generals around me are Xue Rengui, the General of the Left Cavalry Guard, Xi Junmai, the General of the Left Military Guard, and Cheng Yaojin, the General of the Zhen Army. They are all capable of fighting ten thousand men."

"Do you think there are any traitors who can resist their attack?"

this...

The clan members frowned.

They felt the general's unfriendly gaze and heard thunderous shouts coming from below the city, and then they clenched their fists in response.

"No."

After the clan members finished speaking, they began to curse in their hearts.

"Shuzi!"

"How dare you be disrespectful to our elders!"

No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has become so cold-blooded now. It turns out that he has been influenced by the traitor Du He.

If the prince were to take power, would the Li clan still have a way to survive?

No!

Du He must be brought down!

As soon as this thought came to their minds, they looked at the densely packed and majestic soldiers under the city, and the thought immediately turned into ashes and dissipated.

With just the few men under their command, and without armor, how could they resist these 10 soldiers?

Prince Li Shenfu of Xiangyi County and Prince Li Feng of Guo County are lessons for us!

"Hey!"

The group of people sighed heavily in their hearts.

The countermeasures they had originally discussed were now disrupted by Du He and could not be implemented at all.

Li Chengqian did not continue to pay attention to these princes, but squinted his eyes and quietly admired the elite soldiers and generals below the city wall.

With such brave soldiers following us, why worry about not accomplishing great things?

Time passed minute by minute, and when they watched the last team leave, the sun had risen high in the sky without them noticing.

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Let's go back to Taiji Palace. Enjoy your meal, my friends."

All the civil and military officials and the Li clan members shouted in unison.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Although the civil and military officials and soldiers left, the people of Chang'an City did not leave, but instead swarmed onto Zhuque Street.

They discussed the scene excitedly, their faces full of surprise and emotion.

In addition, two fast horses left Chang'an and quickly headed towards Yuhua Palace.

...

Tai Chi Hall.

While Li Chengqian was entertaining civil and military officials, he was listening to reports on government affairs from the three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five academies.

There was no choice; the originally scheduled court meeting had to be postponed, and they could only report at the banquet.

More than half an hour later.

Li Chengqian turned to look at the clan members and said, "You previously wrote a memorial impeaching Du He and threatened to have him executed by the court. Tell us your reasons."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Taiji Hall fell into deathly silence.

The eyes of all civil and military officials were focused on this group of clan members.

The faces of these clan members changed. They winked at each other and the people around them, wanting others to stand up and speak.

How can we impeach Du He?

They have already sent out an army of 10 to attack Du He. If they continue to besiege him, wouldn't they be making things difficult for themselves?

Zhangsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others also winked at them, but these relatives did not dare to stand up.

Looking at this group of relatives who had become cowards, Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others became anxious and furious, and cursed in their hearts for being so disappointed.

"waste!"

"Are you frightened by this little show?"

They originally had high hopes for this group of clan members, but now it seems that this group of seemingly spoiled and arrogant clan members are actually a group of cowards who are strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

He was good at bullying officials and civilians in his fiefdom, but he was completely unable to handle the situation when he came to Chang'an.

After a while.

Li Chengqian saw that no one had stood up yet, so he said with a straight face, "No one is talking?"

"Since no one stands up, shall I call the roll myself?"

When they heard Li Chengqian was about to call out names, the clan members lowered their heads even lower, praying in their hearts that Li Chengqian would not call out their names.

After all, given the current situation, they can only give in temporarily.

But there is a skill to being submissive, and that is not to be the first one.

Li Chengqian's eyes fell on the young clan member with a broad build and a face full of flesh, and he said with a bit of disgust on his face.

"Prince Jiang, you speak!"
