Chapter 85 Who Betrayed the Tang Dynasty
"Comrades..."
Outside Fan Tower, Li Chengdao strode out, and behind him were hundreds of excited men and women. None of the people who participated in the poetry meeting were left behind, followed closely behind Li Chengdao.
At this time, outside Fanlou, there were some iron-blooded soldiers covered in black armor and fully armed. Looking around, the entire street outside Fanlou was cleared. These black-breasted soldiers stood in two rows and lined up to the end of the street.
Each of these soldiers stood straight, motionless, without squinting, and their eyes were filled with fiery, madness and murderous aura.
The moment Li Chengdao appeared at the gate of Fanlou, everyone stood at the sight and turned to look at Li Chengdao. The uniform movements were like carved out of a mold. All of this shocked the hearts of the people behind Li Chengdao in all directions.
Why did a fully armed army come to welcome Li Chengdao? What is this person’s identity? This question once again appeared in everyone’s mind.
Li Chengdao rode on his horse and turned to look at the people behind him.
"You are the most precious wealth of my Tang Dynasty and the hope of the entire nation. You are different from them."
Lee Chengdao pointed at the iron-blooded soldier behind him.
"They have their responsibilities. They choose to use strong bodies, strict discipline, knives and guns to resist foreign invasions."
"And you have the smartest minds of the entire Tang Dynasty, your wisdom and you are knowledgeable. I hope you can use your wisdom to help our motherland realize its great rejuvenation."
Li Chengdao looked around the excited talented men in front of him.
"My name is Li Chengdao. I have established a university in the South Gate of Chang'an, called Qingyun University. I need you, and the Tang Dynasty needs you. I hope you, and more ambitious people, come to join me, join Qingyun University, use your mind to arm our motherland, and use your life to strengthen the roots of our nation!"
"Build a mind for heaven and earth,
Make a life for the people,
To inherit the unique knowledge of the past saints,
To bring peace to the ages.”
Li Chengdao shouted angrily, and everyone shouted when they heard his words. Everyone was crazy and excited. No one could calm down, and no one thought about why they were like this.
"I'll be waiting for you at Qingyun University!"
Li Chengdao turned his horse's head, the war horseman stood up, and then ran towards the end of the street. Su Dingfang jumped out, and also rode an empty horse that had been prepared at some point, following Li Chengdao.
And the soldiers, starting from the entrance of Fanlou, followed neatly, and chased Li Chengdao in the direction where he left.
Li Chengdao ran wildly out of Chang'an City until he stopped by the Wei River. Su Dingfang and the cavalry among the black-armored soldiers also followed him closely.
"My minister, Su Dingfang, see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
As soon as Li Chengdao stopped, Su Dingfang jumped off his horse and knelt on one knee.
When he first heard Li Chengdao's name report, Su Dingfang was suspicious, but because he was afraid of the name, he did not make any statement. When he saw the black-armored soldiers standing all over the street, he was 100% sure that the young man in front of him who took the initiative to win over him was the current crown prince, Li Chengdao.
Along the way, Su Dingfang was both nervous and frightened. He didn't know why Li Chengdao took the initiative to find him, his former enemy general. Logically speaking, a small person like him could not even catch the prince's eye.
Before Su Dingfang could figure it out, Li Chengdao turned around. The strong wind blew, blowing Li Chengdao's hair up, making him look even more wild.
"Su Dingfang, I am not as the prince, but as a Tang Dynasty man, here I ask you to do something for me!"
Li Chengdao's eyes shone with a strange light, his tone was very low, and he even had a tone of pleading together.
When Su Dingfang heard this, his mind exploded. What was it that could make Li Chengdao beg for him? What was it that could make the current crown prince, the crown prince who was below one person, let go of his attitude and beg for him, a worthless down man?
Su Dingfang could no longer think in his mind, and he replied in a dying voice.
"My memory, Su Dingfang, I will never refuse!"
...
Outside Fan Tower, Li Chengdao and the Black Armored soldiers had been away for a long time.
But the scene was still hot, with hundreds of people gathering together and their hearts surging.
"Li Chengdao, Li Chengdao..."
In the crowd, Cui Renshi muttered the name. Suddenly, he was shocked and rushed to Yan Fu.
"Teacher, Li Chengdao, Li Chengdao is..."
Cui Ren swallowed, and the excitement in his eyes became even more intense.
His actions attracted the attention of people around him. Some of the sensitive people were already shining with hope in their eyes, looking at Yan Fu.
"Yes, he is the current crown prince, the crown prince of our Tang Dynasty!"
Yan Fu's turbid eyes flashed with a strange divine light. Like Su Dingfang, when he saw the Black Armored Army lined up to the end of the street at the entrance of Fanlou, he confirmed that Li Chengdao was the current crown prince! (Li Chengdao was very low-key before, so Yan Fu and Wang Tong had never seen him)
"Crown Prince, current crown prince..."
After hearing Yan Fu's words, Zhang Erhe felt that his whole body was soft and he sat down on the ground with a thud.
"I actually hooked up with the prince... I also stole the poems made by the prince... Haha, hahahahaha..."
Zhang Erhe smiled like a neurotic.
With Zhang Erhe's laughter, the atmosphere at the entrance of Fanlou became even hotter. Everyone knew that the person who gave a speech with them just now was the prince of the Tang Dynasty - Li Chengdao!
This is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the future emperor.
I never expected that today, more than 600 people here will become comrades with the future emperor.
The prince also said that these people were the wealth of the Tang Dynasty, that these people were the wisest people in the Tang Dynasty, and invited everyone to join Qingyun University and follow him to fight for the rise of the Tang Dynasty.
When I thought of this, the crowd who had calmed down from the passion just now became even more excited.
"Mr. Jijiu, in what His Highness the Crown Prince just said to us, he mentioned that there were evil evils on the side of the king, he begged, colluded with the Turks, disrupted our court, deceived the emperor, plundered the wealth and ointment of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and offered it to the barbarians in the north, but this is the case!"
Just as everyone was excited, a voice suddenly appeared. After this voice appeared, the atmosphere of the whole crowd began to become weird, and gradually became angry from excitement.
Yan Fu's eyes had not yet faded, but he was in a high position and was used to political struggles in the court. He knew that if he told the secrets of the past and was already angry at the moment, he would know what unpredictable consequences would be caused. He didn't know how to speak for a while.
"this……"
Yan Fu hesitated for a moment, and more than 1,200 pairs of blood-red eyes stared at him, waiting for his reply.
"It was the prime minister of the current dynasty - Pei Ji! The inner historian - Dou Wei! The Minister of Rites, the Chief of the Tiance Prefecture - Tang Jian! The Minister of Works - Wen Daya!"
If Yan Fu had a little bit of rationality, Wang Tong beside him was completely angry.
Wang Tong can be said to be the number one scholar in the Tang Dynasty. Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, Li Mi, Wen Yanbo and others are all prides of heaven taught by him, and his achievements are comparable to Guiguzi.
But he had never entered the political struggle in the court, so he was not particularly sensitive to the answer that could cause a major earthquake in the court. Even though he knew that some unexpected things would occur after he said these four names, he was upright and upright. His upright personality made him unable to help but tell the truth. As for the consequences, this innocent old man thought that he would die at worst.
I saw Wang Tong's hair rushing to the crown, his gray beard kept flying, and he shouted loudly.
"These four traitors! They secretly occupy high positions and deceive the holy hearing! It's really outrageous!"
After hearing Wang Tong's words, an angry shout erupted from below!
"How dare you do old thief Pei Ji like this!"
"Dou thief sold his country and colluded with the enemy, and he should be killed!"
"The two thieves in Tang and Wen control the government. No wonder we were defeated in the war in the north! This time the Turks went south, these two thieves must be colluding with the enemy!"
"Yes! These four thieves are high above the temple, with snakes and rats at both ends. Now that the 200,000 Turkic army is heading south, our Tang Dynasty is in danger!"
...
Everyone changed from excitement to anger to panic! They had already truly put themselves in the position of the master of the Tang Dynasty in their subconscious mind. They wanted to solve their problems for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and use their own strength to save the precarious Tang Dynasty.
"No, we must stop these four old thieves!"
"The Tang Dynasty cannot be destroyed in the hands of these traitors!"
"I know, now that these four old thieves have entered the palace, they must be slandering and lying about military information. If they hear it, let's go to Xuanwu Gate to block them!"
"Yes! Just as the prince said, it's time for us to do something for our motherland!"
"Will we be arrested?"
"We will serve the country with death. As long as we are apart from these four old thieves, I, Cheng Dong, will have no regrets even if I die!"
"Let's go! Let's go together!"
...
