"Tang Qiang, Tang Qiang, you still don't know how to repent. Do you think that since this king knows what you want, how can this king let you go free? Li Tai looked at Tang Qiang and said helplessly.

"Could it be, could it be that Tang Xiao was also arranged by you. Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, he is close to Huangquan. Tang Qiang said in disbelief.

"You overestimate the nearby Yellow Spring, this king can use your nearby Yellow Spring as a tea. and how could he hurt the king's subordinates? Li Tai said with a disdainful expression.

"Not only I, Tang Qiang, have underestimated you, but even the current Empress Wu Ze has underestimated you. Because of this trough, she is doomed to fail. ”

"Hahaha, it turns out that everyone in the world is playing with you alone. It seems that I, Tang Qiang, am really wrong. Tang Qiang said self-deprecatingly.

At this time, the right elder Tang Xiao walked into the Yin'an Palace. After saluting Li Tai, he said: "Lord Qi, according to Tang Qiang's list, his subordinates have already controlled all those who betrayed the lord. ”

"Since they chose to take refuge in Tang Qiang, let them follow Tang Qiang over there to make trouble. The king did not want to see them again. Li Tai said after waving his hand.

"Lord, if you kill Tang Qiang now, I'm afraid you will be startled. It's better to wait for all the dust to fall, and it's not too late to cut this Tang Qiang with a thousand knives. Xu Liang opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.

"The military advisor doesn't have to worry, I have always been in charge of the liaison with Tang Aoshan during this time. So even if Tang Qiang is dead, the other party may not find out in a short time. Tang Xiao opened his mouth and said to Xu Liang.

"The king doesn't have time to think about them right now. The most critical thing now is to save Xue Rengui's family. Li Tai said.

"What do you mean by this, Brother Xue's expedition to the west has lasted five years, and he is definitely called a great achievement. How could the emperor kill heroes so indiscriminately? Xu Liang asked Li Tai worriedly.

"I'm afraid that the emperor at this time can't take care of so much. Now the power in the palace is no longer the emperor, but the queen Wu Ze. ”

"In order to overthrow the emperor, he got great power from the emperor. Then people loyal to the emperor have become her biggest obstacle. ”

"Now Wei Chigong's military power has been taken back by Wu Ze. I'm afraid I'll have to go to the elderly after Cheng Biting Jin comes back. ”

And the king's uncle, the eldest grandson, has now risen and fallen out of the center of power. Therefore, there is no one in the DPRK who can balance the military rules. Li Tai said with a sigh.

Luo Song nodded and said, "Your Highness is right, the biggest obstacle for the queen now is His Highness and Xue Rengui, who has a heavy army. ”

"Now the queen feels that Her Royal Highness has been controlled by Tang Qiang, so the only one left is in serious trouble. It is Xue Rengui, the king of Pingliao. ”

"Lord, don't let Brother Xue have an accident. We've got to find a way to save him. Qin Huaiyu opened his mouth to Li Tai.

"You don't need to be in a hurry, it is estimated that it will not be long before this king will receive the holy decree. Summoning this king to Chang'an City, this king will naturally find a way to rescue Xue Rengui at that time. Li Tai said.

"My lord, I'm afraid it's not a wise move to rush to Chang'an City at this critical moment. If the queen really harbors evil intentions, the lord's trip may be dangerous. Liu Renliang said to Li Tai.

"If it's something else, this king can refuse. But how can this king refrain from the marriage of his son? Li Tai said.

The news of Li Tai's eldest son Li Xin's return has long been known to everyone. But I don't know whose girl Li Xin wants to marry.

"Lord, even if the little prince wants to get married, he should hold a wedding in Youzhou City. Why did the lord go to Chang'an City? Liu Renliang asked puzzled.

Now Li Xin has been named the king of Liaodong County by the emperor. And this kid just came back and fell in love with Xue Rengui's girl, and now the two of them are like glue. ”

And the emperor has agreed, and after the triumph, he will personally witness the marriage of the two. Therefore, this wedding celebration must be held in Chang'an City. ”

"However, what Liu Xiang said is also very reasonable, and this king feels that Wu Ze is very likely to take this opportunity to solve this king and Xue Rengui's family together." Li Tai said.

"It seems that this matter is really difficult to do, if the lord does not go to Chang'an City. It will definitely leave a handle for the queen, and when the time comes, people in the world will say that the lord has a heart of disobedience. ”

"will even splash a lot of dirty water on the lord's body, and those Confucian sects and five surnames and seven sects who have been against the lord will probably take the opportunity to stand up."

"If the image of the lord collapses, it will become a rebellion in Xiang Chang'an. At that time, I am afraid that the whole world will rise again. Liu Renliang said with a sigh.

If Li Tai is labeled as an anti-king, I don't know how many princes in the world will do the same. And I'm afraid that the five surnames and seven sects will also support the people they have chosen.

At that time, the world that has just been peaceful will probably return to war again. I'm afraid it won't even be less turbulent than the last years of the Sui Dynasty.

"So this king must go to Chang'an City, and only this king has the advantage in name. can deter those small nights. Li Tai nodded and said.

"My lord, in fact, there is nothing difficult, in the past few years, we have completed the mass production of front-loading smoothbore muskets."

"Now our army can be issued with new front-loading smoothbore muskets at any time. At that time, the combat effectiveness of our army will be multiplied several times, so why should we be afraid of the tens of thousands of defenders in his Chang'an City. ”

"If the queen dares to be unfavorable to the lord, it's a big deal that we will lead troops to capture his Chang'an City." Gao Ping opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.

"How much of a front-loading smoothbore musket is in stock today, enough to equip the entire army?" Li Tai asked after nodding.

Today, the number of Li Tai's army has reached more than 400,000. If the whole army is to be equipped with front-loading smoothbore muskets, even if the logistics baggage troops are excluded, at least more than 300,000 will be needed.

Hearing that Li Tai was going to equip the whole army, Gao Ping's face couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. So he spoke: "Some time ago, at the request of the lord, the production of front-loading smoothbore muskets has been stopped. ”

"Today, there are only more than 200,000 pieces in stock. Therefore, if you want to equip the whole army, I am afraid that the number is not sufficient. ”

"Then hand over the front-loading smoothbore muskets in the hands of the Iron Guard Forbidden Army to the army. Do your best to change the army's outfit en masse. Li Tai said

Hearing that Li Tai was going to equip the front-loading smoothbore musket to the army, Qin Huaiyu couldn't sit still a little at this time. Hurriedly opened his mouth and said to Li Tai: "Lord, give all the muskets to the army, then what do we use to protect the forbidden army?" ”

It turned out that two years earlier, the front-loading smoothbore musket had been equipped with the Iron Guard Janissaries. At that time, it made Lu Wanda's eyes red.

"The Iron Guard Forbidden Army is the king's personal guard, and its combat effectiveness should naturally be the strongest in the whole army. So this front-loading smoothbore musket is a little unworthy of you. Li Tai said to Qin Huaiyu with a smile.

"General Qin doesn't need to worry, the lord has already prepared new weapons for you. And it's definitely more powerful than this front-loading smoothbore musket. Gao Ping looked at Qin Huaiyu and said.
