The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

With the strong assistance of the Zheng family in Xingyang, the recruitment process has been put on the right track.

In just a few days, considerable progress has been made.

Because the pay offered was relatively high, and the soldiers were recruited in the name of Li Chengdao's grandson.

Therefore, young adults from Xingyang and even surrounding counties came to Kaifeng to take part in the recruitment.

On this day, Li Chengdao went to the recruitment office and then returned to the military camp.

"Your Highness, I have something to report to you." It was Feng Li who entered the camp.

"General Feng sits down and talks." After Feng Li sat down, Li Chengdao smiled and asked, "What's the matter with General Feng?"

Feng Li paused, organized his words, and said:

"Your Highness, it's like this. General Mo contacted Wang Gui privately and brought him to Xingyang to assist His Highness in dealing with the rear.

Now that Wang Gui has arrived in Kaifeng, he begs His Highness to see him. "

After finishing speaking, Feng Li looked at Li Chengdao nervously.

I was very worried, fearing that Li Chengdao would refuse.

When Li Chengdao heard this, his eyes widened instantly, and he was filled with ecstasy.

Who is Wang Gui?

After Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, he sent Wang Gui to Li Jiancheng to join the army and serve as the crown prince's successor.

It can be said that Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng highly valued him.

His status in the Prince's Mansion was even higher than that of Feng Li and Wei Zheng.

Over the years, the battle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin has become more and more fierce.

Wang Gui once made suggestions and recruited ministers to Li Jiancheng's command to confront Li Shimin.

However, last year, Yang Wenqian, a subordinate of Li Jiancheng, rebelled and was finally pacified by Li Shimin.

Wang Gui was also implicated in this.

Li Yuan believed that he joined the army as the prince's servant and did not persuade the prince, which caused the brothers to be at odds.

Finally he was exiled.

When people in later generations talked about the Xuanwu Gate change, they often felt that if Wang Gui was in Chang'an at that time, it might not be Li Shimin who launched the mutiny, but Li Jiancheng who took the initiative to attack.

Later, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, in order to show his magnanimity and broad-mindedness, he deliberately recalled Wang Gui to Chang'an.

Wang Gui also relied on his true talents and knowledge to successfully become prime minister from an exile.

Known as one of the four famous prime ministers in the early Tang Dynasty.

Now that Feng Li has invited such a capable person to Xingyang, how can Li Chengdao not be happy?

"See, Lord Wang, such a talented and learned person, how could you not see him?

General Feng, please quickly invite Mr. Wang. "

When Feng Li saw that Li Chengdao, instead of blaming him, was so excited, a stone suddenly fell in his heart.

He said extremely excitedly: "No!"

After saying that, he hurriedly ran out of the camp.

Not long after, a Confucian scholar in blue shirt came in.

This Confucian scholar in green shirt is over fifty years old and nearly sixty years old.

But he has the temperament of a scholar.

Once you reach that station, you will know that you are not an ordinary person.

After seeing Li Chengdao, he bowed to the end and said, "King Gui of the common people, please see His Highness Taisun."

Li Chengdao quickly stood up and personally helped Wang Gui up.

"Master Wang, please get up quickly."

Seeing Li Chengdao being so polite, Wang Gui was extremely pleased.

After sitting down at the table, he sighed:

“I haven’t seen you in a year, and His Highness has grown so much.

General Feng told the old man about His Highness's deeds of fighting out of Chang'an from the East Palace.

After hearing this, I felt frightened and at the same time sincerely admired His Highness's bravery and decisiveness. "

After the two exchanged greetings, Li Chengdao said seriously:

"Master Wang, I am in urgent need of manpower.

I hope Lord Wang can return to the East Palace and serve as Taisun Sheren.

Assist Lone in managing the rear. "

Li Chengdao was so courteous and virtuous, and Wang Gui already had feelings for Dong Gong.

Although he was exiled, he was also angered by Li Yuan.

Prince Li Jiancheng still trusted and valued him very much.

It's a pity that the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin made Li Yuan furious.

In a rage, he vented all his anger on Wang Gui and exiled him.

Now Li Chengdao has become the master of the East Palace and the emperor's grandson.

He naturally hopes to return to the East Palace.

Immediately he stood up quickly and said: "Thank you for your trust, His Highness Taisun. How dare Wang Gui refuse to die?"

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and laughed loudly.

Feng Li, the rough man on the side, also laughed very happily.

Returning to the East Palace again, Wang Gui, who was once the prince's wife and now the grandson's wife, asked: "I wonder what your highness's next plan is?"

Li Chengdao said: "Go to Youzhou!"

"what?"

Wang Gui was completely stunned for a moment, wondering if his ears had heard it wrong.

"Your Highness is going to Youzhou?!"

Wang Gui was completely unaware of the imperial edict issued by Li Shimin in the name of Li Yuan, so he hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, Youzhou is definitely not a good place, you can't go there!

Not to mention that Youzhou is located on the border and is often plundered by Turkic barbarians.

It is said that Wang Junlang, the guard of Youzhou, was a strong general who followed the King of Qin in the south and north in his early years, and was a direct confidant of the King of Qin.

On the contrary, the Zheng family in Xingyang is the mother clan of His Highness. With the help of the Zheng family, His Highness can quickly take root and grow in Xingyang.

Your Highness must not give up Xingyang and go to Youzhou. "

Wang Gui was afraid that Li Chengdao was young and didn't know the huge difference between Xingyang and Youzhou, so he persuaded him earnestly.

Li Chengdao was very satisfied with Wang Gui's reaction.

With a smile on his face, he said: "Master Wang, you understand these orphans, but this is an imperial edict, so Youzhou orphans have to go."

"Imperial edict?" Wang Gui said with disbelief: "Since Your Majesty has consecrated His Highness as the grandson of the Emperor, how could you issue such an edict?"

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and his eyes suddenly widened.

"King Qin! Is this a false edict sent by King Qin?

Yes, since King Qin dared to launch a mutiny, he must be sure to control the imperial city.

Now your Majesty is under the control of King Qin if you think about it.

It would be easy for him to issue an imperial edict in His Majesty's name.

After all, what he is most worried about now is that His Highness will take root and develop in Xingyang. "

Li Chengdao clapped gently, becoming more and more satisfied with Wang Gui.

Just by reading an imperial edict, he could figure out what was behind it.

He even concluded that this imperial edict was a fake edict by Li Shimin.

With such ability, it is no wonder that he can become the prime minister, no wonder he can become one of the four famous prime ministers in the early Tang Dynasty, and he has left a mark in the history books. ..
