Du Ruhui inhaled sharply." You mean there are still two hundred thousand Turkic soldiers on the bank of the Wei River?!”
The civil and military officials also paled in panic. The two hundred thousand Turkic soldiers had already reached the bank of the Wei River? It was not far from Chang 'an Fortress. Wouldn't the army arrive soon?
"Listen to this old man, don't interrupt!"
Li Shenfu glared at him and continued,
"At that time, His Majesty asked us to cross the river first. He stood alone on the bridge to deal with the 200,000-strong army.”
Thinking of the scene at that time, Li Shentong looked at Li Chengdao with reverence.
Zhangsun Wuji clicked his tongue and said,
"No way, His Majesty is only eight years old!”
"Your Majesty is born with divine strength!" Li Shenfu said solemnly.”
"His Majesty single-handedly blocked an army of two hundred thousand, making it impossible for a single one of them to cross the river.”
"When Tuli saw Your Majesty's invincible bravery and knew that he could not defeat the Great Tang, he fled in panic.”
"At this time, I, Li Xiaogong, and Li Yuan will lead six thousand elite soldiers to pursue!”
"Beat them until they can't be turned into soldiers!"
"It's just that Little Khan Tuli is too good at hiding. We almost captured him alive!" Li Divine Talisman said regretfully.”
Around him, a pin drop could be heard.
The civil and military officials listened with fascination, as if they were in that moment and felt the danger of the situation.
6,000 men against 200,000 soldiers, they would only be annihilated at any time. How could they possibly win?
The officials 'gazes toward Li Chengdao changed again and again, linking up the little Emperor's actions. It was clear that he had long since begun to plan for the conquest of the Turks.
When did he start?
Three days ago?
Three days ago, he had just passed the coronation ceremony and sat on the throne, and he had already planned so deeply?
Was this still an eight-year-old child?
It was not too much to call him a thousand-year-old fox!
At this moment, after Li Shenfu had finished his story, Li Chengdao looked at the civil and military officials and grinned. He said in a tender voice,
"This time, it's all thanks to you guys."
"If you hadn't endured humiliation in Chang 'an, I'm afraid the Tang Empire wouldn't have achieved such a result.”
Immediately, the officials felt ashamed. What humiliation? They were clearly dragging Li Chengdao down.
If it wasn't for the fact that they were bent on rescuing King Qin's Residence's Li Yuan and the three majesties and wanted to secretly go against the little emperor, they would have been killed.
Why were they locked up in Taiji Palace?
Moreover, they were in Taiji Palace, so they could not eat or sleep well.
But the little Emperor had disregarded his own safety and risked being killed to lead the four Commandery Princes to attack the Turks.
Even if Li Chengdao hadn't 'informed' the Turks, they would have known sooner or later that the Great Tang had changed emperors.
At that time, Jie Li Khan would still gather 200,000 troops to attack Chang 'an City.
At that time, the army would arrive at the city.
Who could stop the iron hooves of the Turks?
In other words, even if it was not the eldest grandson of the Emperor, Li Chengdao, who sat on the throne, but one of the three majesties, who won the throne through the struggle between the two factions.
Would the Turks think that this was an opportunity to attack Chang 'an?
The more the officials thought about it, the more afraid they felt. At this moment, they realized a problem.
If there was no little Emperor.
The Great Tang was truly in danger!
Thinking of this, all the officials became more and more solemn. They looked at Li Chengdao with reverence and felt ashamed of what they had done.
"Your Majesty, I know my sins."
Pei Ji was the first to understand. He bowed in shame and said,
"Your Majesty has planned far and wide for the sake of the Great Tang, but we have been dragging you down.”
He wasn't the only one. Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Zhangsun Wuji, Li Gang, Dou Gui, Pei Ju, and the others all lowered their heads in shame and bowed to Li Chengdao.
"We know our sins."
Li Chengdao shook his head and walked over to help them up one by one. He smiled and said,
"What crime have you committed?"
"If there's a crime, it's this Emperor's crime. You're right. You're not this Emperor's servants, but pillars of the Great Tang.”
"The governance of the world depends on you.”
"And I locked you in Taiji Palace. For my own selfish reasons, I made you endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens. If you want to talk about sin, it's my fault.”
As he spoke, Li Chengdao took a deep breath and took a few steps back. He bowed to them and said in a tender voice,
"I'm here to apologize to you!”
All the officials in the court looked at him and hurriedly bowed again.
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly." Your Majesty's thoughts and concerns are not something we can fathom. We are already extremely excited to be able to contribute to the Great Tang's crusade against the Turks. We have failed Your Majesty. How can Your Majesty be guilty?”
Li Gang looked at Li Chengdao with a complicated expression. He raised his head and said,
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the monarch is wise and the subjects are upright. Your Majesty is wise and returned with a great victory. We have been dragging you down all this time, and we are ashamed of this subject.”
"From today onwards, this subject has no second thoughts. Together with Your Majesty, we will do our best for the prosperity of the Great Tang.”
Pei Ji looked at Li Gang of the Eastern Palace Faction and Fang Xuanling of the Qin Emperor Faction. They had already expressed their stance.
Clearly, after capturing Jie Li alive, they saw that the little Emperor's abilities were not inferior to Li Yuan, the Crown Prince, the King of Qin, and the King of Qi.
Thinking of this, Pei Ji respectfully said,"
"Your Majesty, in the future, we will obey your orders.”
Li Chengdao raised his head and looked at the respectful gazes of the officials. He asked,"Then let's forget about what happened before?”
The civil and military officials looked at each other and laughed out loud."Yes!"
When Li Shentong and Li Shenfu saw this scene, their hearts were filled with mixed feelings. They suddenly thought of Li Yuan, who was locked up in King Qin's Mansion, and sighed secretly.
Cousin, you'd better enjoy your life in King Qin's Mansion. Your good imperial grandson is much more capable than you!
"Oh."
At this moment, Jie Li, who was lying in the cloth bag, opened his eyes with a hum. A trace of confusion flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Why did I fall asleep?
Oh right, Benhan was caught…Jie Li's entire body shook. He hurriedly looked around and saw hundreds of pairs of eyes.
Jie Li's eyes widened and he said in a trembling voice,""Where is this?"
"Taiji Palace." Pei Ji strode over and said with a smile,"Khagan, do you still remember me?"
"You are Pei Ji…"
Jie Li recognized him, and his face turned even paler. In other words, this was Chang 'an Fortress of the Tang Empire?
Pei Ji laughed, and the civil and military officials all smiled. Jie Li, who was once insufferably arrogant, probably didn't expect that one day he would end up as a prisoner.
"Your Majesty, how should we deal with him?" asked Li Shentong.”
Li Chengdao tilted his head and looked at Jie Li. He thought for a moment and said,"I'll send you to a place."
Jie Li's expression changed greatly, his voice trembling,"You want to send me to hell?"”
"Not to that extent." Li Chengdao shook his head and said seriously,""That place is much more peaceful than the Yellow Springs.”
Jie Li: "???"
