Li Zhi's face twitched violently. `

Just a few days ago, he also completed the great cause that has not been completed in the Central Plains since Emperor Yang of Sui, and even his father Tang Taizong Li Shimin stopped on the bank of the Yalu River, looking at Pyongyang and sighing, and finally Goguryeo was pacified by him!

Tang Xiujing defeated the enemy's three-kingdom alliance army of 450,000, beheaded 40,000 and captured more than 200,000 Goguryeo tribesmen, even the rebellious Liao King Li Xin, Goguryeo Da Lu Quan boy, Quan Nan San, Quan Nanjian three brothers were captured, as well as his eldest brother Li Chengqian, the fourth brother Li Tai's wives and concubines were all captured back to Beijing, before the Chinese New Year, Li Zhi in Chang'an huge prisoner ceremony, its scale even exceeded the year of the capture of the Turkic Khan.

In terms of cultural governance, the Tang Dynasty Chengping, out of the rebellion of Li Yuanjing, the king of Jing near Luoyang at the beginning of his succession, for more than ten years, it is also the great rule of the world, every household has surplus grain, waist has surplus money, and the family has new clothes, even if there is no rule of Yue Zhenguan, it is not inferior to this.

Li Zhi was almost intoxicated by this, and just three months ago, the ministers proposed to give themselves the title of emperor.

But just after everything has crossed the emperors of all dynasties, from the West, the news of Li Jie's proclamation as emperor has almost shattered all Li Zhi's pride, and there is no two monarchs in the country, whenever he thinks that in the West, the brother he once always looked up to has achieved the same rights and status as himself, and that kind of tormented psychology will tear his heart like a worm and snake.

Therefore, Li Zhi did not hesitate to refuse the request to recognize the establishment of the Min and Tang Dynasties and the establishment of the etiquette of the brotherly state, if it were not for the persuasion of the eldest grandson Wuji, I am afraid that he would have pushed out the envoys of the Min State on the spot and beheaded them.

But even if he went out with a strong decree and asked Li Jie to confess his guilt in the posture of a high-ranking emperor, Li Zhi was still not satisfied, almost like a demon, and he asked Tang Xiujing, who was still on the battlefield in Haidong, to immediately lead his army south and attack Fujian.

But this strategy of sending troops has not yet passed, Li Jie's second letter full of the king's domineering national letter has arrived again, looking at the flying rampant between the lines of the imitation of Emperor Taizong's calligraphy, the blood vessels on Li Zhi's head are bulging, just a moment, he threw away the national letter and scolded: "The slave son who has a backbone!" It's the other way around! It's the other way around! ”

After dropping the national letter and still being angry, Li Zhi almost roared angrily at the ministers with red eyes: "Move the Haidong army south!" Immediately, immediately! Slaughter the entire Fujian country, I want to get his Li Jie's head back! ”

"And! Shangguan Yi was able to get back such an insulting thing! Shelving the investigation! ”

"What are you doing with me? Don't go yet! ”

Li Zhi kicked Li Jie's national letter out again, kicking it right in front of the eldest grandson Wuji, a group of ministers were stunned by the sudden monstrous anger of their emperor, the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly picked up the national letter with both hands, and only at first glance, his face twitched violently. `

Li Zhi didn't know Li Jie's Damin, but he knew that as early as ten years ago, Damin's national strength was no longer inferior to Datang! The fertile Ganges Plain gave birth to the populous Tianzhu, and its war potential was terrifying, and at that time Li Jie was still fighting to the death against a fierce rival in the West called Baiyi Dashi.

Although he went straight to Beijing and seized Sheji's plan failed because of Li Jie's sudden return, this trip did make the eldest grandson Wuji gain insight, Li Jie gave him a map he went back to study more than a hundred times, each time he added a sense of awe of the world, the last time Li Jie hit Constantinople, he was already shocked, this time, Li Jie said that he would bring the whole world back to attack the Tang Dynasty, only the eldest grandson Wuji was convinced.

The scalp was numb, seeing the angry appearance of his nephew yelling and screaming on the Longting Dan Palace, the eldest grandson Wuji knew that Li Zhi, who was becoming more and more self-respecting, could not listen to any opinions at this time, and the audience would only backfire, but now that Li Jie was threatened with war, if he did not face it squarely, he did not dare to imagine that day, the Fujian and Tang generals who could not see the edge would also surround Chang'an.

After hesitating for a long time, the eldest grandson Wuji simply walked out of the court, and his already rickety waist bowed deeply again. `

"Your Majesty, there is no hurry to deal with Shangguanyi, why don't you call him to the palace and listen to the narrative of the Min Fan Xiaoxiao and how arrogant he is, and he will punish the crime according to the law!"

The word "according to the law" moved Li Zhi, so that he showed his supreme authority as emperor, and after calming down for a moment, Li Zhi finally nodded.

The eldest grandson Wuji almost immediately withdrew from the hall and went to find Shangguan Yi in person.

"Your Majesty, the eldest grandson Situ is so anxious to find Shangguan Shilang, I'm afraid it's not just for Your Majesty's sake!"

Just as the eldest grandson Wuji left, beside Li Zhi, a gloomy sound suddenly came, and Li Zhi, who was listening, turned his head in shock and asked, "Why do you say this?"

The eldest grandson Wuji guarded the last authority of the Guanlong family, and the eunuchs had long looked at him unpleasantly, listening to Li Zhi's inquiry, Li Fuguo lowered his voice and whispered slander: "The Guanlong family has long been dissatisfied with His Majesty's power, and they always miss the political situation when the **** family covered the sky with one hand, and they always think about the restoration of Daquan, and now that the Fujian Domain is rising, the eldest grandson Situ is still the father-in-law of the King of Fujian, so actively sending the official servant to contact the Fujian Domain, it is not a joint Fujian Domain, to suppress Your Majesty's intentions."

"Your Majesty, the old slave is worried about you!"

Li Fuguo's words turned into Li Zhi's ears like a yin wind, and when he heard Li Zhi, his face immediately turned gloomy, and he looked at the ministers of the family below, and filled in a little disgust.

But at this moment, the eunuch at the door suddenly screamed loudly: "Shangguan Shilang has arrived!" Li Zhi subconsciously raised his head, and then his brows furrowed.

Shangguan Yi was carried in, running sleepless for three consecutive months, and the prime minister of Shangguan, who was originally known for his demeanor, was gone, replaced by a skinny little old man who was now like a mud monkey, if it wasn't for familiarity, Li Zhi almost didn't recognize it.

Li Fuguo's slander weakened a lot at once, and Li Zhi hurriedly greeted the dragon court in person, and asked in shock: "Why is Doctor Shangguan so down?"

Finally drinking saliva to relieve his strength, Shangguan Yi turned over anxiously and fell to the ground, shouting in his hoarse and eager voice.

"Your Majesty, Min and Tang are powerful, so you must be on guard early!"

As he spoke, Shangguan Yi coughed violently again, causing Changsun Wuji to hurriedly pat him on the back again.

"Don't worry, speak slowly!"

After a few more breaths, Shangguan Yi eagerly described what he had seen and heard in the Min and Tang Dynasties.

"Your Majesty, the greatness of the Min and Tang Dynasties has been imagined, from Tianzhu, the country of Buddhism, to Persia at the other end of the Silk Road, and even the Western Great Qin State, which dominated the East and West together with the Han Dynasty, was also destroyed by the King of Min, as the King of Min said in the edict, the King of Min seized the throne of the Western Great Qin State, and now the capital of the Min Domain is on the capital of the Western Great Qin State!"

At the mention of the emperor's throne, Li Zhi's face immediately became gloomy, but before he could interrupt, Shangguan Yi had already narrated a more practical threat in a more urgent tone.

"Kou Tianzhu, the king of Fujian, has no less than 600,000 soldiers in Tianzhu, enters Persia, and has more than 200,000 Persian people, levies white clothes and food, 100,000 desert iron cavalry for its use, breaks the Western Great Qin State, and has 300,000 people, plus the government soldiers established by the defected Tang people abducted by the King of Min from the Central Plains, the Sixteen Guards Army, and the King of Min has no less than 2 million troops!"

As soon as this number came out, whether it was the eunuchs, the prime minister, or the ministers, they all gasped.

When Cao Cao's soldiers were many generals, when the Chibi War attacked Eastern Wu, he was known as a million, when Emperor Yang of Sui swept the ground as a soldier, 960,000 troops invaded Goguryeo, and it was also known as a million, and now the King of Min has quietly formed an army of two million, just the number, has crossed the emperors of the Chinese dynasties.

It's not that there are no ministers who suspect it, and Xue Huaide, the right attendant of the door, stood up suspiciously, and said suspiciously: "The emperors of all dynasties are so deceitful, and the king of Min is deceitful, I'm afraid it's not credible!" Besides, I've never heard of a rich place in the West, a small country with few people, I'm afraid that there are no two million soldiers in the whole country, right? ”

This sentence made Li Zhi finally come back to his senses and finally regain some confidence, but immediately, Shangguan Yi's words shattered Li Zhi's confidence.

"This was not revealed by the King of Min, but the minister passed by the military mansion of Min and Tang all the way, and the Zhichong Mansion estimated it himself!" Shangguan Yi didn't argue too much, and after explaining a sentence, he recounted it more urgently.

"When the minister left, the king of Min was already calling for his allies to gather in the city of Scytha north of Constantinople, the capital of Fujian, and the minister had also looked at it when he passed by, among which the barbarian Vikings in the north gathered 30,000 people, the nomadic Turkic Magyars, the Bolgars had a total of 50,000 cavalry, the Western Roman Empire sent 80,000 troops, the Goths sent 10,000 troops, the Caucasian kingdoms came with 60,000 troops, plus the 400,000 troops that were not dispersed when the king of Min attacked Constantinople, the king of Min has prepared 630,000 troops for the eastward expedition!"

"And the minister returned to Chang'an along the Silk Road all the way, the nomadic barbarians on the Black Sea coast, the Tocharian ten surnames, the Zhaowu nine surnames and other small countries are also responding to the order of the King of Min to rectify the soldiers and horses, if the minister's estimate is good, the King of Min will finally conquer Guanzhong, and there will be at least one million troops!"

Listening to Shangguan Yi's analysis, the eldest grandson Wuji's ears were buzzing, it turned out that what Li Jie said about leading the whole world to attack was really not bragging! Imagining the overwhelming army of Fujian, he was dizzy for a while.

The dizziness is not only the eldest grandson Wuji, the courtiers are all shocked, even if Li Zhi himself, the blood vessels on the brain are also one by one.

A real army of a million! How to resist?
