836 A companion is like a tiger

Li Shimin on the side frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he took them back, and he saw Li Yuan sitting on the dragon chair glancing at him.

Li Yuanji sneered again and again: "I'm spurting blood, hmph, we haven't forgotten how you played Wang Shichong and Yang Tong in the palm of your hand when you were in Baihualou!" ”

Li Jing on the side finally couldn't look past it, stood up and interjected: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that everything the third princess did in Luoyang was all for the world of the Li family, and it was the performance of the third princess who was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and the minister thought that the third princess would never do anything to be sorry for the Li family." ”

Li Yuanji retorted: "Since General Li believes what she said, then please ask her to tell us what the terrible weapon she refers to the Jianghuai army possesses, what is it, if she can't say it, can we believe such a false alarmist?" How do you know if she didn't collude with Zhen Mingku to win time for the Jianghuai army to prepare for war? ”

The hundred officials looked at Ling Shuang one after another, with questions in their eyes, in fact, they also wanted to know why Ling Shuang wanted to let Zhen Mingku go, she knew how much of a threat Zhen Mingku posed to the entire Tang Army, especially knowing that the mysterious Jianghuai King, who had always been obscure, turned out to be Zhen Mingku, and knew the terrible thing about Zhen Mingku, they would not doubt that his influence alone was comparable to Liu Heimin's 100,000 army.

Ling Shuang's delicate face, which had fascinated the men of Luoyang, no longer had a trace of blood at this time, and Li Yuanji asked her to tell what the weapon that Zhen Ming had painstakingly developed to deal with the Tang Army was, and how did she know? She glanced around at the many generals in the hall who had mastered the military power of the Tang Army, with the last hope in her eyes. Looking at Li Yuan, she asked like a helpless little girl, "Father, don't even you believe in your daughter?" ”

Li Yuan, who was usually talkative, was silent at this time.

Li Yuanji sneered on the side: "It seems that if you don't show evidence, you won't admit it to death." Father, please allow one person to be summoned to the audience, and the truth will be revealed! ”

"Let him in." Li Yuan sighed.

"Pass on Liu Wenjing, Chai Shao will see you!"

……

Liu Wenjing and Chai Shao walked in from outside the main hall.

As a witness, Chai Shao's appearance can be described as miserable, with bandages and crutches. In particular, the part under the crotch is tightly bandaged.

These injuries on his body are the result of the torture he used to torture Zhen in prison not long ago. When he wanted to use a red-hot soldering iron to prepare to burn Zhen Mingku into a eunuch to vent the hatred in his heart for taking away Ling Shuang, he was tortured by Zhen Mingku, who had already secretly untied.

Liu Wenjing in front of hundreds of officials, Ling Shuang privately released Zhen Zhen's life and suffering that day. The words that Zhen Mingku said on the dock were read out word for word in the main hall.

When he read in a strange voice, "Ling Shuang is willing to accompany you for the rest of your life". Chai Shao looked at Ling Shuang with his eyes full of jealousy and anger, and cried with a lost demeanor:

"Emperor Mingjian, this matter was seen by the minister with his own eyes, she had a secret tryst with Zhen Mingku in the room, Zhen Mingkun didn't wear a single piece of clothing, and she did things in the camp of the Tang Army! The minister wanted to bury this humiliation in his heart forever, but she made a traitorous act against the Tang Dynasty, and the minister could no longer hide it. I beg the emperor to allow the minister to break the marriage contract with her! ”

Everyone was in an uproar and looked at Ling Shuang one after another.

She is the founder of the invincible Women's Army of the Tang Army. Outstanding military achievements, prestige comparable to the king of Qin and the prince, and Li Yuan's beloved daughter, the princess of Pingyang, the perfect dream lover in the minds of many Tang generals, and when the Tang Dynasty takes the world, she will have a bright future, how could she have thought that she would be so willing to fall, fall in love with the enemy's generals, and do this kind of private thing.

Before Li Yuan finished listening to the two of them, he was already furious, slapped the dragon chair, stood up tremblingly, trembled his hands, pointed at Ling Shuang, and his lips turned purple with anger: "You, you...... Say! What they said is true, don't worry, if Liu Wenjing dares to frame you in the slightest, I will behead him all over the house! Just tell the truth! Have you ever said these words! ”

Ling Shuang was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

The hall exploded with a bang.

Li Yuan suddenly sat on the dragon chair as if he had lost all his strength, looking at Ling Shuang, who had given up resistance, and was speechless for a long time.

"What else do you have to say?" Li Yuanji looked proud.

Ling Shuang said in a low voice: "Father, my daughter admits that she likes Zhen Mingku, but my daughter just wants his Jianghuai army to surrender to my Tang Dynasty, and she doesn't have any rebellious heart, please ask my father to be clear!" ”

Li Jiancheng, who had not spoken, finally spoke: "This is really inseparable, hum, I have never seen you so attentive to a man!" ”

He asked mockingly: "Then is he willing to listen to your words and lead the army to surrender to my Datang?" ”

Ling Shuang shook her head blankly and muttered, "I don't know. ”

"Hmph, the general of the Lady Army, who has always been famous for his beauty tricks to lure enemy generals to surrender, was finally planted in the hands of a man who was not good-looking, and was deceived willingly, gave his innocent body to the other party, and sold his father and brother to the other party, should I say that you are stupid or have a problem with your vision?"

Ling Shuang was finally attacked and framed by these people in turn, and cried heartbroken, shaking her head and choking, "I didn't betray my father and brother. ”

Li Shimin couldn't bear to look at her anymore, so don't look away.

Li Yuan sighed and waved his hand at the guards of the main hall: "Take it down, take strict care, without my will, she is not allowed to step out of the gate for half a step!" ”

Ling Shuang was stripped of her armor and escorted down by more than a dozen guards in the hall, and all the generals in the hall knew that if Ling Shuang really wanted to escape, these dozen guards might not even be able to touch a single hair of her.

……………………

After Ling Shuang was escorted away, the hall was silent, and no one dared to stir up right and wrong in Li Yuan's angry anger.

Finally, Li Shimin took the lead in getting up and asking for resignation, and took a group of generals from Tiance Mansion out of the main hall, leaving Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji and others.

Li Yuan glanced at the departing Li Shimin quite meaningfully, sighed, turned his head to look at Li Jiancheng on the side, and asked, "Jiancheng, in your opinion, what should I do with your sister?" ”

Li Jiancheng bowed and replied: "In Jiancheng's heart, only the fifth sister is my sister, Lingshuang is just an adopted daughter of her father, she has been sent out of the mansion since she was a child, and she is mixed in Fireworks Willow Lane. ”

In fact, there was another reason in his heart that he didn't say, Ling Shuang turned into the Oiran of Baihualou and collected information from all over the world, but she had always only revealed these important information to Li Shimin, and she was desperate for Li Shimin, otherwise Li Shimin would not have been able to make such a great feat.

Li Yuan sighed: "I don't know, it's just that after all, she has made great contributions to our Li family, if you deal with her, I'm afraid it will cause the soldiers to chill." ”

"There is a plan to solve the worries of my father."

Li Yuan's heart moved: "Let's hear it!" ”

If her father secretly kills her, he is afraid that her subordinates will rebel immediately, so it is better not to investigate her guilt on the surface, and announce to the public that she has contracted a vicious disease and needs to recuperate, secretly remove the real power of her subordinates, let others replace her, and then demote her to a commoner and secretly put her under house arrest.

It is better to let the fifth sister take her place, the fifth sister's resourcefulness and courage are not inferior to Ling Shuang, with her in charge of the women's army, I believe that there will be no big chaos, in this way, the people of the Li family have full control of the military power, and also use this to weaken the impact of Ling Shuang's betrayal on the heart of the Tang Dynasty, killing two birds with one stone. ”

"The Women's Army was founded by Shuang'er, and if you want to replace Shuang'er's position in the Tang Army, how easy is it to talk about?"

"Since it can't be replaced, then completely erase her merits, tell the founder of the world's women's army is actually the behind-the-scenes command of the fifth sister, and reward and commend the women's army, appease the army, and in less than half a year, with the talent of the fifth sister, she will live up to her father's expectations."

Li Yuan hesitated: "I'm afraid that this method will give rise to rebellion." ”

"If she is rebellious, it proves the wisdom of her father's early disposition, and her sons naturally have a way to deal with it."

Li Yuan hesitated for a long time, and his face was helpless: "It can only be like this, don't hurt her life, after all, she has made immortal feats for the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Erchen understands."

Li Yuan sighed: "Go back, the widow is also a little tired." ”

……

Wude four years of May Dragon Boat Festival.

Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty announced to the world that the general of the Niangzi Army, the third daughter of Li Yuan, led the Niangzi Army to conquer the Quartet, made great achievements, pacified dozens of southeast cities, recruited dozens of generals, and unified the world in the Tang Dynasty.

………………

In June of the same year, Li Jiancheng, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, led the expedition to the generalissimo of the east, gathered 100,000 troops in Luoyang, went down the canal by boat, and reached Liyang 300 miles away to garrison the troops, build fortifications, build camps, and wait for Chen soldiers.

Li Jiancheng ordered the women's army to be the vanguard force, first to ten miles below Liyang City, provoked and called for war day and night, and sent people to sneak into the city secretly, spy on the military situation, and plot against the assassination.

The generals in the city frequently rebelled out of the city.

The defenders of Liyang City never held out, refused to fight, and secretly stepped up patrols in the city to prevent the Tang army from visiting the city late at night.

……

In the marshal's mansion in Liyang City, more than a dozen generals of the Jianghuai Army gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"Brother Zhen, as you expected, the third lady's women's army has infiltrated the city."

Pei Xingyan walked in from outside the door and explained the news of the investigation outside the city one by one.

Zhen Mingku, who was wearing a suit of civilian clothes at this time, was wearing casual flip-flops specially made for him by his eldest grandson Belle on his feet, and sat on a Taishi chair at the top of the left side in the most comfortable and natural sitting posture he thought.

Sitting on both sides of the hall are the core figures of the Jianghuai coalition army. (To be continued......)
