In less than an hour, all the civil and military officials in the court hurriedly changed into their official robes and gathered in Taiji Palace with blank expressions.
Other than Yuchi Jing De and Li Jing who did not come, the rest of the State Duke were all in the court.
"Xuan Ling, what happened?"
The two prime ministers, Li Er's right-hand men, were also confused. Hearing Du Ruhui's question, Fang Xuanling shook his head.
The two of them did not know, and the others did not know either.
The palace attendants entered their residences with solemn expressions. When they saw people, they only said that the Emperor had ordered them to summon all the civil and military officials into the palace. They kept silent about other matters and did not mention a word.
"His Majesty has arrived-"
At this moment, a eunuch drawled.
All the officials and officials in the court subconsciously looked over and saw Second Emperor Li clad in golden armor. He looked at everyone with a cold and dignified expression and said in a deep voice,""Eight hundred li just arrived at the Imperial Palace. Luo Yi, who is guarding Jingzhou, has rebelled!”
Hiss…
Gasps rose and fell in the imperial court.
Luo Yi was originally a general and warlord at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he served as a general of Huben Lang and was stationed in Zhuo County. After returning to the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, gave him the surname Li. At first, he was granted the title of Duke of Yan. Later, he was granted the title of Prince of Yan in the Jin Dynasty. He helped the Tang Dynasty defeat Liu Heita and led the Tianjie Army to guard Jingzhou.
After Li Er ascended the throne, he was promoted to the third division of the opening ceremony, and his position was comparable to the three dukes.
Although Luo Yi's rebellion was unexpected, it was reasonable. After all, he was the confidant of the Hidden Crown Prince, Li Jiancheng.
"Your Majesty, please issue a decree to suppress the rebels!”
Du Ruhui said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, please issue a decree to suppress the rebels!”
All the civil and military officials said in unison.
"Zhen has already sent Yuchi Jingde and Li Jing to rush to the army at a speed of six hundred li and have them merge together to quickly intercept Luo Yi.”
Li Er sneered,"Once this matter is over, I will definitely grind his bones to ashes!"”
"Report-"
Suddenly, a hurried voice sounded,"" 800 li urgent, 800 li urgent..."
The hall suddenly fell silent.
There was a second urgent letter?
Immediately after, a posthouse guard stepped into the hall with a chicken feather letter in his hand and said anxiously,"Your Majesty, the urgent military news from 800 li is that King Lujiang Li Yuan has rebelled!!”
"Eight hundred li urgent-"
Suddenly, another figure arrived and said anxiously,""Your Majesty, we have urgent military intelligence for 800 miles. Prince Changle, Li Youliang, has sent troops to Lizhou!”
"Eight hundred li urgent-"
"Liang Shidu is leading troops to Yundu!"”
Hiss…
They were all the remnants of the hidden crown prince, Li Jiancheng!
The expressions of all the officials in the court changed drastically. After hearing the urgent military reports from the four hundred miles away, everyone realized that the first great shock of the first year of Zhenguan was about to begin!
"Luo Yi's intentions are despicable!"
Li Er's face turned ashen." I've treated him well. Not only did he openly rebel against the Imperial Court, he even colluded with Prince Lujiang Li Yuan and Prince Changle Li Youliang to rebel. This gave Liang Shidu the opportunity to lead his troops to Yundu!”
"Your Majesty, please issue a decree!"
Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and the other founding generals had solemn expressions. They knelt on one knee and said,"We will immediately lead the army to crusade against the rebels!!”
"Fang Xuanling, Hou Junji, Zhangsun Wuji, listen up!”
Li Er took a deep breath and suppressed his anger."Zhen wants to personally make a trip to Jingzhou to meet this traitor Luo Yi. You all follow Zhen!”
"What about the other rebels?"
"Your Majesty, these people are not ordinary people!" Du Ruhui said anxiously.”
"Li Ji, listen up."
Li Er continued," I will give you 30,000 troops to intercept Li You Liang and Liang Shi Du in the east. If you can force them to surrender, don't continue fighting!”
"Yes!"
Li Ji said calmly.
In an instant, the entire Great Tang Imperial Court was mobilized by urgent reports. Li Er, who could write and rule the world, immediately led Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, and Hou Junji to Jingzhou.
————
At this moment, 1,300 Brocade Guards stepped into Chang 'an.
Immediately after, urgent reports were brought to the Dragon Slaying Guard camp.
The 3,000 Dragon Slayer Guards felt that the storm was coming in Chang 'an. They were willing to double their daily training. Although the training process was painful, it helped them to re-mold their temperament and military discipline.
"So many people are rebelling?"
In the commander-in-chief's tent, Fang Jun sat on a chair, frowning as he looked down at the intelligence brought by the Embroidered Uniform Guards: "Looks like Luo Yi has been planning for a long time.”
Fang Jun's information about Chang 'an.
The Chang 'an Imperial Army did not seem to have any unusual movements, but Zhangsun Anye and the other two rebels had very strange behavior every day. They constantly placed people into the city defense. Although their methods were subtle, countless intelligence reports showed that they had begun to prepare to cooperate with Li Xiaochang.
But Li Xiaochang didn't do anything!
This didn't make sense!
Fang Jun immediately grasped the key point. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He looked at Zhu San who came to report and said," Zhu San, send three guards from the Brocade Guard, led by Zhu Yi, Zhu Er, and Zhu Si. Leave Chang 'an City 200 miles away immediately and monitor all the roads around Chang' an City. If you find any soldiers coming towards Chang 'an City, report immediately!”
"Yes!"
Zhu San cupped his fists in response. He then hesitated and said,"Then should the Embroidered Uniform Guards arrest these three people immediately?”
"These three masterminds are not ordinary people.”
Fang Jun shook his head." And even if the Embroidered Uniform Guards are taken down, we don't know how many rebels there are in this muddy water. You just have to continue monitoring their every move. I know what to do!"”
After Zhu San left.
Fang Jun stood up and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air as he walked out of the commander's tent. He looked up at the blazing sun in the sky. It was truly a storm brewing. He turned to Xue Rengui, who had been standing guard by his side, and said in a deep voice,"Xue Rengui, stop the Dragon Slaying Guard's 3,000 recruits from training and follow me into Chang 'an. It's time to prepare for a rainy day.”
