Chapter 907 Counterattack
"Cousin, why are you hesitant to speak?"
After having a meal at the Duke of E's Mansion, Li Cun looked at Li Qingxia, who seemed to want to say something but didn't.
Li Qingxia gently stroked her belly, which was not yet visible, and sighed.
"How do you plan to accommodate Wu Zetian?"
Her eyes flickered a little.
"Li Bin and Li Jiao came to see me. They said that if Wu Zetian hadn't died, you would have made her the Supreme Emperor sooner or later."
"They also said that King Xia was just a transition."
"What you really want to do is to make Wu Zetian the emperor."
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the name Wu Zetian has rarely been mentioned.
All the civil and military officials were in tacit agreement and did not disturb Queen Wu Zhao of Xia's rare later years.
But even so, there are still people who have not forgotten some of the things that Wu Zetian did in the past, such as the Li clan and Zhang Jianzhi.
The Li clan suffered persecution from Wu Zetian, and countless people died. It was natural for them to hate Wu Zetian. The conflict between the two sides could not be resolved unless the culprit Wu Zetian died.
Zhang Jianzhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was much simpler and clearer. He wanted to cause trouble for the Imperial Guard.
Although Li Cunxi had clearly pointed out that the Internal Guard had undergone a complete transformation and had begun to serve as intelligence personnel, Zhang Jianzhi still did not intend to let these people go.
All the civil and military officials in the court were silent except Zhang Jian. Li Cunxi could guess what the officials were thinking.
It's just to let Zhang Jianzhi be the first to take action.
In fact, a large number of officials wanted the Internal Guards to be destroyed in history.
However, the Internal Guard Bureau was just a small fry, and the focus of their hatred was still on Wu Zetian. The real purpose of these officials was to target Wu Zetian.
Li Cunxi's eyes fell on Li Qingxia's face and he smiled.
"What does my cousin want from me?"
"Do you want me to agree with Li Yan and the others and kill my aunt?"
He picked up the teacup and took a sip, his expression indescribable.
"Brother Li Xian and Brother Li Dan sacrificed the lives of almost everyone in their family to help me snatch the inheritance. If I kill her, it would be against the rules."
"I won't kill my aunt, but I can't let her become the emperor."
"I even have reason to believe that if I make her the Emperor Emeritus today, my two brothers, Li Xian and Li Dan, will come to my dreams and beat me to death tonight. And this new Emperor Emeritus will definitely not survive this night. My eldest nephew will let her die quietly."
"I made her a king to silence the people of the world."
The corner of his eye twitched.
"It is also to shut up future generations."
Having said that, Li Cunxi sighed softly.
The two generations of Xia kings had completely different endings. Doesn’t this just confirm what the prince said before his death?
"So, what about the inner guards?"
"Well... Huang Shengyan is currently serving as the Grand Councilor temporarily. He will be replaced by Wulezhi soon. After the Turkic War, I will be deploying troops against Tubo and other Western Regions countries. Daleha is very familiar with Tubo and the Western Regions and could be of use."
"It seems that Huang Shengyan is in great danger..." Li Qingxia felt a little sorry. There were many talented people in the Inner Guard Palace, but they just followed the wrong master.
"He won't do that either. I'm going to ask him to do something else right away." Li Cunxi leaned sideways. "But this needs to be kept secret for now. His position is extremely special."
Ma Rong, who was slacking off, subconsciously looked at Li Cunxi.
Since Li Cunxi ascended the throne and became emperor, the only special organization he set up seems to be Da Shuihe.
Talents like Huang Shengyan must be assigned to specific people, and it is indeed a good idea for him to go to Da Shuihe.
But in this case, the future of good brother Long Feng... is a bit uncertain.
It can't be that he was transferred to the capital.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Li Qingxia sighed, returning to the beginning of the conversation. "I believe time will tell us the answer. After Wu Zetian dies, the feud between the two families will be resolved."
"I think so too. The hatred between the Li and Wu families has lasted for so long that it's difficult to erase it with the efforts of two generations. It will take the efforts of future generations!"
"Then...how about your Majesty's prince?"
"Stop rushing me, stop rushing me, my head is about to explode!"
Li Cunxi fled in panic, taking Ma Rong and Xiao Mei with him.
He now went to his minister's house to sit and drink tea, and always mentioned the matter of the prince at the end.
Xiao Mei's belly was still not moving. What could he do? He had tried hard from the age of seventeen to nineteen. Now that she was almost twenty years old next year, Xiao Mei's belly was still not moving.
Is it his fault for not working hard?
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. It's better to be restrained." Xiao Mei saw that Li Cunxi was depressed after getting into the carriage, and hurriedly comforted him.
"Empress, I am not angry. Please wait for me in the bedroom tonight."
Li Cunxi is ready to go.
There was no movement in Xiao Mei's belly, maybe he wasn't trying hard enough. If he tried hard every day, maybe the baby would be born.
Xiao Mei complained bitterly: "Your Majesty, please exercise some restraint..."
……
The next day, at the hour of Yin!
Chongzhou City, an important border town!
Today in Chongzhou City, the army responsible for fighting against the Turks are all dressed in uniform and holding weapons.
From yesterday afternoon till now, they have been gathering their strength.
Now is the time to go to battle!
The time now is probably a few minutes after three o'clock in later times. The soldiers, who have had a full meal, are dressed in armor and armed with sharp weapons, looking murderous.
Under Wang Xiaojie's command, except for the 20,000 Right Guards guarding the city, the remaining 80,000 troops all went into battle!
Accompanying him were 100,000 troops of the Right Dragon Guard. Daleha, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Hebei Road and the general of the Right Dragon Guard, led the 100,000 troops as the vanguard and took the lead in the attack.
After killing the Turkic scouts, several reinforcements that approached quietly have arrived at the designated location.
Two thousand Qianniuwei cavalrymen, led by Wang Jinghui and Li Yuanfang, had left the city half an hour ago and began to eliminate the hidden troops planted by the Turkic army.
Ulezhi, who was familiar with Sieg's combat steps, had left Chongzhou with the Wind Rider earlier and has not returned yet.
At one o'clock in the morning, the Right Dragon Guard army set out, the gates of Chongzhou City opened, and the black-armored cavalry, led by Liu Qi, were the first to leave the city.
Amidst the clatter of horse hooves, the black-armored cavalry sank into the endless darkness.
Afterwards, the Right Dragon Guard army left Chongzhou City in battalions and headed towards the Turkic camp ten miles away.
The Turkic camp was stationed facing Chongzhou, and it was the Golden Horde Guards who were at odds with Ziger. Duoduo was not sleeping at this moment. He was dressed in armor, and all the generals of the Golden Horde Guards under his command were wearing armor.
"Pass on my order, all members of the Golden Horde must prepare for battle. I let you sleep all day yesterday, you wolf cubs, don't embarrass me today!"
"General, don't worry!"
"General, don't worry!"
Duoduo drew his sword and said solemnly, "We, the Golden Horde Guard, have never been Helu's soldiers!"
"Today, we will avenge Jili Khan!"
"Under the command of the Wolf God, Jili Khan will recognize us as the pride of the five tribes of Nushipi!"
