The Turkic general's expression changed greatly, and he took a few steps back in panic. He then drew his Tang sword from his waist and looked at them warily.
At this moment, the crowd parted to form a path.
An eight-year-old child wearing a light golden robe walked over with his hands behind his back.
The Turkic general looked at him and suddenly remembered the Khagan's words.
The current Emperor of the Great Tang was the eight-year-old eldest grandson of the Emperor, Li Chengdao!
"You're Li Tang's little emperor?" the Turkic general cried out involuntarily.”
Li Chengdao gave him an appreciative look.
Meeting the child's gaze, the Turkic general knew that he had guessed correctly. He was even more terrified. Li Tang's little emperor had actually appeared here, clearly lying in ambush. He said in a trembling voice,"Where are my men?"
"Bury them," Li Chengdao said with a smile.
The Turkic general's eyes narrowed.”
"That's why it's very difficult to dig a hole," Li Chengdao said seriously.”
The Turkic general: "???"
Before he could react, Yu Huatian flew over and cut off his neck.
After the Turkic general fell to the ground, clutching his throat, Li Chengdao waved his hand and said,"Throw this into the pit and bury it too."
"Yes!" Yu Huatian and Ji Gang nodded before carrying the Turkic general and walking into the forest.
Li Shentong watched as the last Turkic general in the vanguard died and sighed."Your Majesty, your methods are still the best.”
The six thousand Turkic vanguard had been thrown into the forest and buried underground, but the vanguard had not disappeared. Li Chengdao had replaced them with Great Tang elites.
"Your Majesty, should we wait for the rest of the Turkic army to arrive?" Li Xiaogong asked.”
Li Chengdao nodded." Right, this is just the beginning. The Turkic Jie Li Khan has brought two hundred thousand soldiers. We have to think of a way to deal with them all.”
How was this possible?
The four Commandery Princes looked at him suspiciously. They were very impressed that the little Emperor could annihilate the enemy without expending a single soldier with six thousand people against six thousand people.
However, to say that six thousand people could deal with an army of two hundred thousand, this was even harder than ascending to the heavens!
Even if it was 200,000 pigs.
It would take a long time to capture six thousand people!
Li Shenfu stroked his long beard and thought of something else. He said,"Your Majesty, who will guard Chang 'an when we leave the palace this time?”
Upon hearing this, Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, and Li Yuan were shocked. That's right, the little Emperor had left the palace. Who was guarding Chang 'an?
The current situation in the court.
It was Li Chengdao who locked Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji into Prince Qin's Mansion and took the throne.
Although it was the coronation ceremony, it was a trap set by all the civil and military officials in the court. Even if Li Chengdao had better means, he broke this trap.
However, he had left Chang 'an Fortress.
Wouldn't that give all the civil and military officials a chance? If they took advantage of the little Emperor's departure from Chang 'an and went to Prince Qin's Mansion to fetch Li Yuan back, they would be able to escape.
Wouldn't the little Emperor's throne be lost?
Li Shentong and Li Shenfu started to worry. They were afraid that the Eastern Palace and King Qin's Mansion's aides would use this opportunity to cause trouble again.
Li Chengdao smiled and said in a childish voice,""Don't worry, I've arranged everything."
————
Meanwhile, in Taiji Palace in Chang 'an.
Early in the morning, the civil and military officials walked from the Gate of Heaven Influence to Taiji Palace and lined up in two shifts.
All the civil and military officials in the court had complicated expressions. After yesterday's incident, the four Commandery Princes had failed to enter the palace to help the Emperor. All of them had fallen at the hands of the little Emperor. They could only give up on their original plans.
But could the eldest grandson really be a good emperor?
He was only eight years old.
An eight-year-old child had the ability to govern a country?
When it was time for the court session, all the officials looked at the empty throne and sighed.
Look, it was only the third day of being the Emperor, and the little Emperor had already started to be lazy. He probably hadn't woken up yet.
This was clearly nonsense!
All the officials cursed in their hearts, but no one dared to leave the hall on their own accord, lest the little Emperor came and saw that someone had not come and questioned them.
Two hours later, the civil and military officials looked at the empty dragon throne and were a little dumbfounded. It was already late in the morning, and you still hadn't woken up?
"Eunuch Wang!"
Pei Ji stood until his legs were a little weak. Looking at Wang Yu who was standing beside the imperial table, he could not help but say,""It has been two hours since the court session. Why hasn't His Majesty come yet? Do you want to rush him?”
Xiao Yu said with a straight face," That's right. I still have a lot of official business to do in the government office. Who can bear the responsibility if it drags on?"”
Wang Yu glanced at the bright sky outside the hall and patiently said,""How long has it been? Everyone, wait a little longer!”
Hearing this, the officials could only helplessly wait for the little Emperor to go to court. What else could they do about the little Emperor they had chosen?
Another two hours passed.
The civil and military officials couldn't hold it in any longer. How long would they have to wait? It was already noon. Was this morning court or afternoon court?
Pei Ji held his waist and grimaced,"Eunuch Wang, is His Majesty still not up? How can he sleep so well?"
"Wait a little longer!" Wang Yu said in a weak tone.”
" It's not that we're not waiting," Xiao Yu said impatiently." We've been waiting for four hours. Look at the sun outside. If we wait a little longer, it'll be dark!"”
Pei Ji frowned when he heard this." Eunuch Wang, it doesn't make sense to leave the civil and military officials in the hall. If you don't invite His Majesty over, this old man will personally invite him over!"”
Finished talking, Pei Ji did not even glance at Wang Yu, turning around and walking out of the hall.
Seeing Pei Ji walk over, a royal guard standing guard outside the hall suddenly pulled out his saber and shouted,"Go back!"
“？？？”Pei Ji was stunned. He recognized the imperial guard as Li Chengdao's trusted aide, the Brocade Guard, who was guarding Prince Qin's mansion.
Pei Ji suppressed his anger and said,
"Don't you see what time it is now? No matter how much His Majesty likes to sleep, he should wake up. If he doesn't come to court today, are we going to keep waiting?”
"Who said His Majesty isn't coming?" the imperial guard said with a straight face. It'll be here soon!"
Pei Ji glared at him and said,"How fast is very fast?"”
The imperial guard thought for a moment." Tomorrow!”
Pei Ji: "???"
Suddenly feeling that there was something wrong with what he said, the imperial guard changed his words and said,"Or the day after tomorrow!"
Pei Ji: "???"
The imperial palace guard looked at the dumbstruck Pei Ji and couldn't tell the time. He said in a deep voice,""If there is no court session tomorrow or the day after, then it will be the day after tomorrow. In short, His Majesty will definitely attend court!”
“？？？”Pei Ji looked at him in shock. The little Emperor was definitely going to court, and he still had to f * cking tell him?
When the officials in the hall heard this, they looked at the imperial guard in confusion. You said it had been three days, and you call this fast?
With a swoosh, the gazes of all the civil and military officials in the court stared straight at Wang Yu.
At this moment, all the officials could see that it was not that the little Emperor did not want to come to court, but that he could not come at all!
Pei Ji came back to his senses and suddenly turned his head to glare at Wang Yu, shouting loudly,"
"Wang Yu, tell this old man and all the civil and military officials here the truth. Just what did His Majesty do?”
