Chapter 167: The Emperor is Ruthless

Lu Zhaoci, who was on the march, didn't know everything that happened in Chang'an City. Maybe Gai Suanbei knew about it. He didn't care about anything. After all, he was no longer the same person at this time. Whether it was Lu Chengzu or Lu Ke, maybe in the future

It would bring endless trouble to his father and even this empire, but not now. His main task now is to pacify the world and realize his great ideal as soon as possible.

The official road from Chang'an to Luoyang is very neat. This is an important official road. Although it was interrupted for a long time due to the war between Datang and Wang Shichong, as Xu Shiji surrounded Luoyang, Datang occupied Luoyang again.

After gaining an absolute advantage, this official road gradually became prosperous. Along the way, you can see businessmen traveling north and south. However, when these people saw the majestic Imperial Guards, they were frightened and hid on the roadside to let the Imperial Guards pass by first. Although

It was impossible to guess who was leading the army, but when they saw this situation, they knew that the leader was extraordinary, and everyone started talking about it.

"Your Majesty, is Xu Shiji waiting for Your Majesty at Huangguan?" At this time, Gan Chong, who was acting as a front-line soldier, rushed over.

"This guy has already arrived at Huangguan to welcome you. He is so bold. Isn't he afraid that Wang Shichong will come and attack him secretly?" Lu Zhaoci laughed and scolded.

"Your Majesty, Wang Shichong has been beaten by General Xu at this moment and has no power to fight back. Does he still have the energy to sneak attack General Xu?" Zu Ming said with a smile: "It's a pity, this time we can only fight a smooth battle.

."

"Why, boy, don't underestimate any of your opponents. This is because our army has the upper hand. Otherwise, how could it be so easy to defeat Wang Shichong!" Lu Zhaoci lightly whipped Zu Ming with the whip in his hand.

"Your Majesty, look, General Xu Shiji is waiting in front to greet the Holy Emperor?" At this time, Gan Chong pointed to a group of people in the distance and said.

"Let's go! Don't keep the general waiting." Lu Zhaoci looked at the towering Huangguan in the distance. Looking at the group of people in the distance, he nodded with satisfaction. In unofficial history, it is said that this Xu Shiji is

They were Li Jing's apprentices, but in history, although they did not have the name of master and apprentice, they were actually master and apprentice. Li Jing had given Xu Shiji guidance more than once, and in Lu Zhaoci's opinion, Xu Shiji might be able to fight in the war.

He cannot be compared with Li Jing. But there is one thing that is not much different from Li Jing, and that is prudence. Not only is he cautious in fighting, but he is also cautious in life. You will know it when you see him coming out of Yinghuang Pass.

"Your Majesty, Xu Shiji, pays homage to you. Long live your Majesty." Xu Shiji saw Lu Zhaoci wearing golden armor from afar. He quickly knelt down. Behind him, Luo Shixin, Cheng Yaojin and other generals bowed down.

"General, all generals are exempt from courtesy." Seeing this, Lu Zhaoci was overjoyed and jumped off his horse, helped Xu Shiji up, and said with a smile: "General, Lian is here to take credit this time.

That’s it.”

"Your Majesty is joking." Xu Shiji stood up and cupped his hands and said: "The merits I have achieved today are actually due to Your Majesty. If it weren't for Your Majesty's reputation, how could Wang Shichong be forced to stay in Luoyang City and not dare to come out.

"

"Yes, yes." Lu Zhaoci nodded repeatedly. This Xu Shiji was very powerful. No wonder he became Li Shimin's trusted minister in history. Although these words were a bit flattering, they also showed that this person was not arrogant about taking credit.

"Your Majesty, now Qin Qiong is under the command of Luoyang City, and General Li Junxian is commanding the army. Come to think of it, Wang Shichong and others cannot break through the defense lines of the two generals. They must be trapped in Luoyang City. I think your Majesty might as well rest in Huangguan for a while and go back tomorrow.

It won't be too late in Luoyang." Xu Shiji said as he welcomed Lu Zhaoci and others into the Huangguan Mansion Office.

"Soldiers are valuable and quick. General, I think it would be better for your majesty to arrive in Luoyang as soon as possible. I heard that Wang Shichong is extremely cunning. God knows if he has other methods. Once he breaks through General Qin Qiong's defense line, and reaches Yanshi, Hu

Prison. Then hold Hulao Pass and rely on the forces of Guandong. I'm afraid the joy will be in vain again." The speaker was Gan Chong.

Lu Zhaoci frowned, and soon said with a smile: "General Qin Qiong is so powerful. After following General Zhang Xutuo, he became a good soldier in marching and fighting. Although Wang Shichong is powerful, in this situation, Gan

Lang, do you think Wang Shichong still has the strength to fight back? General Xu Shiji is so cautious in doing things. How can you not understand the reason? Since he asked Lian to rest here for a day, it is naturally the principle of the general. You are just a junior, and

If you have the right to doubt the decision of the general, you can just rest for a day in Xuguan."

Thank you, Your Majesty.

"Xu Shiji glanced at Gan Chong lightly. Although he knew that Gan Chong was Lu Zhaoci's disciple, a disciple is a disciple and cannot be compared with the master. What's more, the disciple in front of him looks unruly and unruly.

, with an extremely arrogant look on his face, probably someone who had made great achievements. However, Xu Shiji was not optimistic about this man. However, he still raised his hand and asked, "This general has extraordinary knowledge. May I ask his name?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare." Gan Chong returned the courtesy and said, "The last general is your Majesty's disciple Gan Chong."

"Gan Chong? But Gan Chong who follows General Pingnan?" Xu Shiji asked in surprise: "Is there another general Zu Ming here?"

"Last General Zu Ming pays homage to General Paoqi." Zu Ming, who was waiting on the side, quickly stood up.

"Yes, yes." Xu Shiji said to Lu Zhaoci with a smile: "Your Majesty, our Tang Dynasty has a successor! The two generals are extraordinary and heroic, and I am very pleased to be passed down by your Majesty!"

"Thank you, General, for your compliment." Gan Chong quickly said with his hands after hearing this. Seeing this, Lu Zhaoci frowned even more, but did not speak, but turned around calmly and entered the government office.

"The alliance is exhausted, so don't disturb the alliance. General, be prepared and leave for Luoyang tomorrow morning." Lu Zhaoci's voice was faint and soon disappeared from everyone's ears. Xu Shiji's face changed slightly when he saw this, but

He didn't say anything. Only Zu Ming vaguely knew what was going on. He glanced at Gan Chong and frowned slightly.

"General, your Majesty only rests for two hours every day. I'm afraid he is really tired, so it would be better for you to rest for a while." Eunuch Cheng on the side carefully explained.

"Okay!" Although Xu Shiji was quick-thinking, he didn't know the reason at this time, so he had no choice but to nod his head and arrange for Lu Zhaoci's guards not to mention it.

"Your Majesty is dissatisfied with the general?" He Chong on the side said uneasily: "The general just saw that your majesty's brows were furrowed, and his expression looked displeased."

Contrary, the general has great merits, but he wants to arrange a residence for your majesty and plan your itinerary. This is the crime of borrowing from Vietnam. Your majesty just pities him for his great achievements, so it is inconvenient for him to attack." Gan Chong sneered and said: "Master Zulang,

What do you think?" He was thinking, "Who knows?" Zu Ming felt relieved and understood, but he didn't come out.

"General Zu, Your Majesty has called the general in to discuss matters." At this time, Eunuch Cheng suddenly led several eunuchs out and said to Zu Ming.

"Oh!" Gan Chong looked unhappy and said with a smile, "Eunuch Cheng. I wonder if your Majesty has any other orders?"

"As for General Gan, Your Majesty only summoned General Zu." Eunuch Cheng's face was full of smiles and he still looked respectful, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Zu Lang, since His Majesty has summoned you, go in!" Gan Chong said calmly.

"Okay." Zu Ming nodded, cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, father-in-law."

"Okay!" Eunuch Cheng's face suddenly smiled like a flower, nodded repeatedly, and led Zu Ming in.

Gan Chong, who was looking behind him, turned pale, and said with a cold snort: "I'm just a eunuch, what's there to be so arrogant about? Zu Ming is the same, he's your majesty's disciple, he has a distinguished status, and he actually treats a eunuch with contempt. It's simply embarrassing."

His Majesty's face. I would be ashamed to associate with this person, what about you?" Gan Chong glanced at He Chong, Ge Ming and the others fiercely. The cold light in the sun shone with a gloomy look.

"Second senior brother, Eunuch Cheng is your Majesty's confidant. I heard that he also made contributions during the Xuanwu Sect Revolution. It is appropriate to be respectful to those who have made contributions to this." Ge Ming showed a look of embarrassment on his face.

Come. Although they are also Lu Zhaoci's disciples, due to their talents and other reasons, the gap between Lu Zhaoci's thirty disciples is now widening. The number one is of course Qin Yong, who has followed the general and has an official position.

It is also the highest, followed by Gan Chong and Zu Ming who led the southern expedition. Gan Chong fought bravely and decisively. He could not tolerate other people's opinions. His relationship with Ge Ming and others was more like that of senior brothers, while Zu Ming fought calmly.

, is also widely influential in the army. Although Ge Ming and others are brothers, they also know that military merit is the most important in the army. However, these two people are similar, but they don't know who to help.

"Humph, there are snakes and rats." Upon seeing this, Gan Chong glanced at the two of them coldly and left without looking back.

"Hmph! Taking credit and being arrogant. How can I behave like a minister." He Chong snorted coldly and said: "Sooner or later something big will happen. Your Majesty summoned the third senior brother in instead of calling him. He was jealous in his heart, but he was looking for us to take out his anger."

"Forget it, He Lang, this kind of thing is not something we can discuss.

Ge Ming shook his head and said.

"Brother Ge, don't you know that when I had a drink with my senior brother last time, he told me that when Gan Chong went to Chang'an to report the news under His Majesty's order, he didn't even dismount when he saw King Liang?" He Chong suddenly said

broke the news.

"Is he so rude?" Ge Ming's expression changed when he heard this. Who is Prince Liang? Who in the entire Tang Dynasty doesn't know Prince Liang? Although he is not the emperor's biological brother, he trusts him more than his biological brother. One sect and two kings

, as a clan member, he has a lot of troops to protect Chang'an. Really speaking, is Lu Zhaoying still everyone's uncle? When he was in Qianshuiyuan, he educated everyone a lot. Gan Chong was actually rude to Lu Zhaoying. This is

Something no one expected.

"Let's go! Let's go!" He Chong suddenly felt that he had made a mistake and quickly shut up, urging everyone to say. Everyone also nodded. These people were unwilling to get involved in the overt and covert fights between Qin Yong and the other three.

The city guard's mansion temporarily served as Lu Zhaoci's palace. In the back garden, Lu Zhaoci was sitting on a chair under the tree, while Zu Ming stood opposite, looking uneasy. "Your Majesty." After a while, Lu Zhaoci was nowhere to be seen.

Without saying anything, Zu Ming couldn't help but speak out.

"Gan Lang, how is he in the army?" Lu Zhaoci suddenly said quietly.

"Gan Lang has a high prestige in the army. His military achievements are outstanding. When it comes to marching and fighting, his disciples are not as good as him." Zu Ming's heart moved, his face changed slightly, and he lowered his head even lower and said cautiously.

"In terms of marching and fighting, you are not as good as him. But you also have your advantages." Lu Zhaoci said calmly: "Since you think you are not as good as him, then stay with him and learn! Learn how he controls troops.

How to march and fight. How to deal with the lieutenants."

"Ah!" Zu Ming's expression changed when he heard this, and he looked at Lu Zhaoci in surprise. He saw that Lu Zhaoci's expression was as calm as water, and his eyes were as calm as water. He couldn't see anything strange in it, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

"What?" Lu Zhaoci's eyes flashed with cold light, Zu Ming turned pale with fright, and fell to his knees on the ground.

"Lian heard that when he was dealing with Li Da'en, Lian ordered Gan to rush back to report the news to King Liang. He sat on the horse and lowered his head to talk to King Liang." Lu Zhaoci said quietly: "He did the same thing today.

General Fat Cavalry is speaking. He seems to have forgotten his former identity. A man must not forget his roots. Lian has told you this sentence many times, but he seems to have forgotten it. Zulang, I wonder if you remember it.

"

"Reply to the teacher, your teachings will be remembered in my heart every time." Zu Ming's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. Although he had just vaguely guessed the reason why Lu Zhaoci was angry, at this moment, it was Lu Zhaoci who passed by him.

I was even more shocked when I said it myself.

"So Lian Rang you are here." Lu Zhaoci said quietly: "You have a calm temperament and have worked with Gan Chong for many years. He still trusts you. From now on, you will be by my side! Be a deputy general."

"Teacher, although Gan Lang is ignorant of etiquette and unruly, he was trained by the teacher. He is still loyal to the teacher. Teacher, please give him a chance!" Zu Ming couldn't help but say.

"Haha, Lian did not say not to give him a chance." Lu Zhaoci laughed and said: "Lian has given each of you the same opportunity, it depends on whether you can grasp it. Qin Yong is the same, you are the same

, the same is true for Gan Chong. It’s just that he may be able to grasp this opportunity, but whether he can grasp it with his heart, Lian doesn’t know. Even you yourself may not know. But now, Lian knows that Gan Chong may

You can't control your own true intentions. In this case, Lian needs you to remind him at any time and let him not do wrong things. Isn't it good for the king and his ministers to know each other? "

"I understand." Zu Ming gritted his steel teeth and nodded lightly.

"Stay back!" Lu Zhaoci waved his hand and said calmly: "As long as you are loyal to the king, the teacher will never forget you. Work hard! The empire needs young people like you."

"Disciple, please retire." Zu Ming's eyes turned red. He slowly retreated. If you want to know what happened next, please log in to the muscle chapter for more chapters and support the author. Support genuine reading!
