Year 626.
Chang 'an City, Prince Ning's Mansion.
Li Rui pushed open the door and stretched his back. He said casually,
"System, sign in!"
Ding! The sign-in was successful! [Reward: 10,000 Snowy Dragon Cavalry stationed in Xuzhou!]
This sudden voice did not surprise Li Rui. Instead, he said with some distress,
"Another 10,000 Snowy Dragon Cavalry. There are so many soldiers that I can't even keep track of them. It's better to reward them with gold and spend them casually.”
Even the most elite Snow Dragon Cavalry was despised, all because Li Rui had too many forces under him, some of which he had even forgotten where they were stationed.
All of this started three years ago.
At that time, Li Rui had transmigrated to the Great Tang and became the sixth son of Li Shimin, who did not exist in history.
At the same time, it also awakened the system.
As long as they signed in, they could obtain all kinds of rewards, such as horses, weapons, money, power...
This was the first time he had signed in to Quicksand. The laws of heaven and earth were executed without slacking!
The second time he signed into the net, the inescapable net was everywhere!
These two of Great Qin's strongest killer legions were currently hidden in the Great Tang and were under Li Rui's command.
The third time he signed in for ten thousand taels of gold, Li Rui had experienced the happiness of the rich ever since.
The fourth time, he signed in ten thousand tiger leopard cavalry and stationed them in Yizhou.
The fifth time…
Great Qin's faction, the generals of the three kingdoms, heavy rations, gold and silver…
After signing in for three years, Li Rui's subordinates included almost all the characters and forces of the era.
However, he was rewarded with more grain and gold, which was exactly what Li Rui wanted.
Without provisions, how were they going to feed those soldiers?
Without gold, how could he feed himself?
Just half a month ago, Li Shimin launched a mutiny in Xuanwu Sect and ascended the throne.
All the princes were conferred the title of king. Li Rui was conferred the title of Ning King and his fief was Qingzhou.
However, they were still in Chang 'an. Li Rui ordered the empty courtyard,""Men."
"Your subordinate is here!"
A smokescreen appeared, and a black-armored man slowly walked out. His posture was very respectful.
Li Rui tidied up his robe and lightly ordered,""There are ten thousand cavalrymen in Xuzhou. Remember to inform Han Fei and ask him to make arrangements.”
Cover the sun!
Network Heaven-level assassin!
It belonged to Yue Ba's sword!
However, when he faced Li Rui, he replied respectfully,"
"Understood!"
"Go down and do it." Li Rui walked out of the courtyard. He thought of something and ordered again,"Go get some gold and give it to Dian Wei. I'm going to listen to music today. If there's nothing important, you don't have to report to me.”
Masked Sun took his leave upon receiving the order, but he soon appeared at the entrance of the mansion and handed a heavy bag of gold to a burly man.
Not long after, Li Rui brought his two followers, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, to the Illusionary Sound Workshop.
As soon as he entered, Li Rui threw the gold away and shouted,"Prepare a private room, this king wants to hear sister Long Yin sing!”
For Li Rui, a beautiful day started from listening to music.
……
Half a day later, in the royal study of the Great Ming Palace.
Li Shi Min, who was wearing a dragon robe, was reading the memorial. His brows were often furrowed, and it was obvious that he was not satisfied with the contents of the memorial.
This was because the moment Li Shimin ascended the throne, the Turks had led their army to attack, and they had charged straight for Chang 'an.
He had already sent Yuchi Jingde to lead the troops, but it was clearly not too optimistic.
"Your Majesty, Duke Lai requests an audience."
The chief eunuch said carefully.
Putting down the brush in his hand, Li Shimin relaxed his sore arm and ordered,""Summon him in."
The Duke of Lai, Du Ruhui.
He planned the Xuanwu Gate incident and was the most meritorious person. He was Li Shimin's right-hand man.
Soon, Du Ruhui, who was dressed in official robes, walked into the royal study and immediately kowtowed when he saw Li Shimin.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Beloved minister, quickly rise. Didn't Zhen say that we don't usually need to kowtow?”
Unexpectedly, Du Ruhui did not get up. Instead, he said in grief and indignation,"Your Majesty, you must seek justice for this old minister!”
"My son, Du He, had an argument with His Highness Ning Wang when he was listening to the song. Now, he was beaten up by His Highness Ning Wang's attendant and can't even get off the bed. If it wasn't for him stopping me in time, I'm afraid…I'm afraid my son would never be able to stand up again.”
"Presumptuous!“
Li Shi Min was furious after hearing this.
The dignified Prince Ning actually got into an argument with someone because of listening to music.
He even dared to beat up the son of a meritorious minister. This was simply a disgrace to the royal family.
When Li Yuan was in power, he liked Li Rui, which was why Li Rui was ignorant and often went to the dance studio.
But what they didn't know was that ever since Li Rui was replaced by the soul of the 21st century, the song and dance studio had become a place for listening to music.
Li Shi Min stood up and personally helped Du Ruhui up." Duke Lai, quickly stand up. I will definitely punish Prince Ning severely and give my beloved minister justice."”
"Du He has also reached the age of marriage. I wonder what Duke Lai thinks of Princess Cheng Yang?”
Du Ruhui immediately understood what Li Shimin meant.
"Your Majesty, Princess Chengyang is a daughter of a wealthy family. She is well-educated and reasonable. I'm afraid my son is…" he said in fear.
"Duke Lai, what are you saying? Zhen has decided on this matter. We will choose an auspicious day to let them get married.”
Du Ruhui was halfway through his sentence when Li Shimin gave the final word.
Seeing this, Du Ruhui was secretly happy and quickly thanked him." Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."”
At this moment, a young eunuch ran in in a panic and knelt down.""Your Majesty, there's an urgent report of war!"
Li Shi Min quickly asked the eunuch to hand it over.
As soon as he opened the letter, Li Shiming's face changed. He couldn't suppress his anger anymore and slammed the letter on the table.
"Order all the ministers to hold a meeting in the Political Announcement Hall!”
Du Ruhui saw the drastic change in Li Shiming's mood and his heart trembled. He asked tentatively,"Your Majesty, what happened? Could it be General Yuchi…"
Li Shimin's eyes were filled with anger and a trace of panic." Jingde's army was defeated in Jingyang and has retreated to the Wei River. Chang 'an is in danger.”
Hearing this, Du Ruhui turned pale with fright.
The Wei River was the last pass of Chang 'an. If the Wei River was breached, Chang' an would have to face the two hundred thousand Turkic soldiers.
But now, there were less than 40,000 people in Chang 'an who could go to the battlefield.
How could they defend against the two hundred thousand Turkic soldiers?
Half an hour later, in the Political Announcement Hall.
All the officials were present. Li Shi Min sat on the throne with a gloomy face, not saying a word.
Du Ruhui read out the secret letter to all the officials.
The entire imperial court was silent. No one had expected that Yuchi Jingde would return with news of his defeat after only three days.
Li Shi Min looked at the silent minister and scolded loudly,""I've only been on the throne for half a month, and I've already been beaten to Chang 'an. Do you not want me to be the emperor? What were the border scouts doing? Are all the people raised in the Great Tang trash?”
Li Shimin was really in a mess. He had led the army from the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty and had made countless military achievements.
However, he had never been forced into such a desperate situation. This was the moment of life and death for Chang 'an.
The civil and military officials knelt down in fear.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Kneeling and begging readers for flowers in their hands, giving rewards and evaluation tickets
