Chapter 666 Seizing Power
A wolf-toothed arrow, with a "Battle Letter", broke through the air and pierced on the head of Gaochang City. Seeing this, the Lang General who was guarding the city hurriedly took off the arrow and sent it to the palace and presented it to the Gaochang King Ju Zhisheng who had just succeeded to the throne.
Ju Zhisheng was unsure of his own mind, so he quickly sent someone to summon Prime Minister Ju He. When he arrived, he took down the letter on the arrow.
"Prime Minister, look at this," Ju Zhisheng said, and he also saw the content in the letter, his face turned pale, and then he said angrily: "How can the Tang people be so shameless? They actually said that this king colluded with the Turks to kill their father and seize power, how can he be so distorted by black and white!"
Ju He had to calm down a lot. He thought for a while and said seriously: "The person in charge of the Tang army should have changed."
"Um?"
"The old minister has studied Li Ji and Hou Junji. Li Ji used his military deceitfulness and was very cautious. He would rather not do anything that was risky and unsure about things. Hou Junji was originally a brave but not a strategy, but after learning the military tactics with Li Jing, he had strategies, but he could not change his nature of being very happy with merit. If this method was what the two of them thought of, they would not wait until night to do it. Therefore, the old minister boldly speculated that the Zhulu Hou in the Tang Dynasty might have escaped and returned to the Tang army camp!"
Ju Zhisheng was stunned and instantly remembered all the things Li Mu had done to him, and his face turned pale: "No, this is him, that's him! Why didn't he die? Is God going to destroy me?"
Ju He couldn't help but sigh when he saw Ju Zhisheng's appearance.
Ju He was dissatisfied with Ju Wentai and planned to establish a new master. He originally chose Ju Wentai's third son, but unfortunately he died under Usman's revenge. Now, Ju Wentai has only Ju Zhisheng, apart from four daughters, which makes him have no choice at all.
Ju He gritted his teeth and said, "Master King, are you so afraid of the Marquis of Zhulu?"
"The Prime Minister doesn't know that that person is too terrible. He is extremely sinister. He has no morality and no bottom line. He is not an individual! Have you heard of that? A censor impeached him. He fed manure into someone's sedan chair and into someone's well." Ju Zhisheng retching for a moment, remembering everything Usman had done to him, showing a painful look, and said, "He has too many methods. He is happy with this. If he surrenders and admits defeat, he will not let him go!"
Seeing that Ju Zhisheng was already in vain, Ju He felt that he had done something wrong again, but now it was over, and regret was useless, so he could only go all the way to darkness. Ju He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think you should no longer be afraid, because there is no way out. Now you should bravely respond to the enemy and face this Marquis Zhulu. The old minister calculated that the time was over, and the Turkic vanguard would definitely arrive in just one or two days. At that time, we will attack the Tang army in one battle and win. I, Gaochang, have made contributions to the Turks and deserve a letter of surrender."
"But now the country has no good generals"
"The king must lead the army in person!" Ju He said seriously: "The old minister assists the king ascend the throne and will live and die with the king. The old minister will stand close to the king. If he is defeated and dies, the old minister is willing to die before His Majesty."
"This..." Ju Zhisheng didn't expect Ju He to say this and couldn't help but burst into gratitude. He always knew that Ju He wanted to assist his third brother, and he also regarded Ju He as the biggest stumbling block for his ascension to the throne. Unexpectedly, today it was this situation, and the biggest enemy in the past became his greatest arm helper.
No matter how cowardly a person is forced into a desperate situation, he can burst out courage. Ju Zhisheng took a deep breath and said, "Prime Minister, things have come to this point. Even if we are a mantis arm, we have no choice. If we survive this difficulty, I will govern with you with you! I will send an order to the gate of Zhuluhou City at noon tomorrow and ask him if he dares to come!"
...
"Ask me if I dare to come?"
After sleeping well all night, Li Mu rubbed his eyes and looked at the letter Zhang Tianai had unveiled for him, and was still a little confused.
"What do you think of this guy as himself?" Li Mu sneered and said, "Did he think of himself as a character? Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang? The empty city plan? My god." Li Mu yawned, leaned on Zhang Tianai's shoulder, and asked lazily: "Madam, do I think I should go see him?"
Zhang Tianai was a wife and was in a mess. She didn't have any thoughts. She helped Li Mu press his shoulder and said softly: "Your husband wants to go, but if you don't want to go, you won't go. Ask me what I'm doing?"
"Isn't this respect for the wife? I can't beat her husband, and I'm afraid I'll be beaten."
"You still say?" Zhang Tianai's almond eyes stood up, Li Mu quickly went down honestly and shouted, and someone at the door responded: "What are the instructions of the marquis?"
"Is it Su Lie?"
"The humble position of Su Lie."
"Have you done what I ordered last night? Are you ready for the materials I asked for, my unreliable brother?"
"Report to the Marquis, Dingxiang City has sufficient reserves, and even if there are some, they are still being allocated. When the Marquis was not awake in the morning, General Li had already arrived. He said that he would not let down the Marquis' expectations and promised to be completed on time."
"Okay, this boy" Li Mu murmured, got up from the quilt, and Zhang Tianai served him gently to dress. Li Mu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Although this was a normal move for Bai Qiaoqiao, Li Zhien and others, Zhang Tianai did it, and Li Mu always felt that he would be beaten in the next second.
After dressing, Li Mu came to the tent. Hou Junji and Li Ji were already there. The two of them were stunned when they saw the sword in Li Mu's hand, and bowed one after another. Li Mu quickly helped the two of them up and the three of them sat down. Li Mu smiled and said, "I took the Shangfang sword to restrict the two generals. But the situation today is probably going to happen. The matter is all because of me. This responsibility will be borne by me. If I don't have a bad reputation in the future, I will naturally report to Your Majesty and will not take the credit of the two."
After hearing this, Li Ji said unhappily: "Li Mu, how can you and my father and son speak like this? In your eyes, I am a person who shirkes responsibility?"
"Why are you talking about me, I mean I." Hou Junji hurriedly grabbed the words, and he thought to himself, "You don't care. You don't have much responsibility, but I can't do it. If Li Mu had not led the tank and asked me to take the responsibility of poisoning the Lord Gaochang, would that be great?"
