Chapter 213: Li Zhi's Anger Pei Xingjian's ability is really good, it only took three days for him to complete the training of the entire 300,000 cavalry, and quickly recovered his combat effectiveness - of course, there is also the assistance of General Lin Nanling and other generals, he can complete this feat.
After personally executing Wang Se and a large number of other generals who refused to surrender, General Ling and others have completely surrendered to Li Zhen, although their loyalty to Li Zhen may not reach the full value, but they have also completely tied them to Li Zhen's boat, they are all smart people, and naturally understand how to choose.
At present, they will do their best to help Li Zhen, only in this way can the boat be made bigger and drive more smoothly, otherwise once the ship sinks, Li Zhen, the owner of the ship, will certainly be unlucky, but the passengers on these ships will also face the fate of being drowned.
Those who can achieve today's high position will naturally not be stupid, of course they understand the truth in this, so although Li Zhen and Lin Nan are unhappy to force themselves and others to stand in line, but in actual action, they did not drag Pei Xingjian back, but were very dedicated.
It is precisely with the help of these veterans who are familiar with the affairs of the army that Pei Xingjian was able to integrate 300,000 cavalry at such a fast speed and meet Li Zhen's requirements.
Three days later, Li Zhen officially opened, this time his number is no longer only a shabby 300,000, but directly soared to 600,000, although it is not as good as Li Zhi's more than 700,000, but at least in terms of momentum, the two sides are not much worse, which makes some people who were originally not optimistic about Li Zhen suddenly changed their attitude, but became full of confidence in Li Zhen.
After all, these 300,000 cavalry, but Li Zhi sent to attack Li Zhen, but Li Zhen did not die alone, but also incorporated these 300,000 cavalry, no one knows what has happened to them, they only know that this time is the first confrontation between Li Zhen and Li Zhi, and from the current point of view, Li Zhen is a complete victory.
This made Li Zhen's prestige among the people soar again, and some people who had some confidence in Li Zhen are now even more confident.
You must know that Li Zhen's reputation is not bad, not to mention his prestige, it can be said that he is powerful all over the world, and he is almost recognized as the next generation of emperors of the Tang Dynasty.
Although he has been smeared by the enemy several times, his reputation is still higher than that of the other ten princes combined, not to mention that Li Zhi, who was originally just a small transparent Jin king, cannot be compared with Li Zhen at all.
If it weren't for his sudden counterattack this time and forced the palace to usurp the throne, how many people in this world would know him, the Nine Emperors of the Tang Dynasty?
Not to mention the fame with Li Zhen, it is simply the gap between Firefly and the sun and the moon.
Therefore, in this confrontation, after Li Zhen's victory, his reputation immediately soared again, even in Chang'an City, which has been under martial law, many people talk about Li Zhen in private chats, and begin to criticize Li Zhi for his unfilial piety.
There are even bold gambling stalls that have set up a game to bet on who can win Li Zhen and Li Zhi, originally Li Zhen's odds were slightly higher than Li Zhi's, because they had no confidence in Li Zhen at first, but after this encounter, Li Zhen's odds immediately declined, and soon they were lower than Li Zhi, and as Li Zhen got closer and closer to Chang'an, the odds were still declining......
Just when Li Zhen began to march into Chang'an, Li Zhi, who was located in the Chang'an Palace, was beating things, and soon the entire palace was destroyed by him, but this still did not calm his anger even a little - he couldn't help but be angry, the efficiency of his intelligence system was too low, Li Zhen's side had already integrated 300,000 soldiers, and they were all heading towards Chang'an City, and he had just received the news on his side......
This kind of efficiency was so angry that Li Zhi almost drew his sword and cut off his intelligence chief.
Fortunately, he endured it at the last moment, because he understood that this was not to blame for his lack of intelligence, it was really Li Zhen's secrecy work that was so good that it was almost impossible to splash in, and this time if it wasn't for the secret agents he placed in the army desperately broke through, I was afraid that he would not be able to get specific information until Li Zhen drove outside Chang'an City.
And once the person in charge is cut, he can't find a more suitable replacement in a short time, even if there is a suitable candidate, after suddenly taking the position, he will not be able to integrate the intelligence organization in a short period of time, let alone play a role, and during this time, he will become a blind man in intelligence, and can only rely on the intelligence system of the family and other forces to obtain information, but for these people, Li Zhi actually doesn't believe much, even if they are grasshoppers on a rope now, but God knows if they will have a connection with Li Zhen?
After all, even his most trusted guard commander has rebelled, and no one knows whether the family and other forces will bet on both ends.
"Damn, damn it, they dare to betray me, I must let them die a good death......
Come on, push out all the families of the rebel generals and behead them, and I will raze all of their nine clans.
After Li Zhi smashed everything in the hall, he slashed around with his sword, and regarded all enemy ship targets as mutineers, and at this moment the hatred of the mutineers in his heart even surpassed the hatred of Li Zhen - he still didn't understand his hatred, and he was ready to arrest all the relatives of the traitors, and was ready to engage in the affairs of the nine clans.
"Yes."
The little eunuch standing outside the door trembled with fright, you must know that there are hundreds of general-level people who surrendered to Li Zhen, and each of them must not have more than a dozen direct family members, counting the nine clans......
There must be at least tens of thousands of people - tens of thousands of people will be killed at one time, is this still the humble and gentle His Royal Highness King Jin before?
However, this kind of thing is not something that a little eunuch like him can pay attention to, and he can only mourn in silence for the families of those generals on the way to the decree, this is already the only thing he can do, and he can't control it anymore.
"Wait a minute."
I don't know why, after hearing this voice, the little eunuch's heart suddenly relaxed, and he hurriedly looked back.
I saw a man dressed as a scribe walking over quickly, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, what happened to make you so angry that you want to destroy the Nine Clans?"
This doesn't match your character as a virtuous king. ” "Humph!"
Seeing the comer, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Li Zhi's eyes, he lived a very uncomfortable life for a while, or since he seized power and usurped the throne, he has not lived a day of comfort, the original imaginary king of the world, with a word to determine the life and death of ten thousand people, does not exist at all, from the day he ascended the throne, his bad things have not been broken.
Li Zhen is just that, the two sides are endless enemies, and the two of them will have to fight on the battlefield sooner or later, and it is natural to have all kinds of open and secret battles before this.
But the problem is that he hasn't even solved Li Zhen yet, and there is a problem within him.
As I said before, the forces under Li Zhi are divided into four forces, except for the people of the original Jin Wangfu who are still loyal to him, the remaining three forces are all with their own thoughts, not to mention uniting together to resist Li Zhen, and they can't even get along peacefully, for the interests that have not yet arrived, the three forces are arguing in the court, and they have moved their fists and feet several times, and they have almost completely broken - as for the unity and unity mentioned before the rebellion, the oath to resist Li Zhen is pure bullshit, facing interests, The so-called alliance of sea oaths and mountains have been thrown into the horns of I don't know which one.
Li Zhi has been on the throne for nearly a month now, in addition to making a little arrangement for Li Zhen in this month, the rest of the time is the three major forces quarreling, almost nothing serious has been done, and the backlog of twists and turns on the case is about to pile up, but no one pays attention to these, every day as soon as the court is the three major forces are fighting for interests, even if they go to the court, they will not let themselves have a good time, and continue to block themselves in the imperial study to quarrel.
If he were to be the emperor by someone else, I am afraid that these people would have been slaughtered a long time ago, but Li Zhi can't do it, and he can't do it, because the reason why he can sit on the throne is because these forces are behind him.
Therefore, he knows too well how powerful the three major forces are, and it can be said that overthrowing the Tang Empire is only between their waves.
Therefore, now the entire Tang Dynasty is nominally the emperor, but it is the three major forces that really control the empire, even if he Li Zhi, can only survive under their deterrence, without the approval of the three major forces, his decree will not even be able to leave the palace - it can be seen that the three major forces simply treat him as a puppet emperor.
It is estimated that only Li Zhen dares to fight with them, and even wants to completely destroy the existence of the family, but Li Zhi will definitely not be able to do it, and he will not dare to do it.
It is estimated that once Li Zhi really dares to show even the slightest intention of wanting to unload the mill and kill the donkey, I am afraid that these three major forces will immediately unite, eat Li Zhi alive, and then replace him with another person to succeed him......
Of course, Li Zhi is not easy to get along with, although he is just a mascot now, but his resistance has never stopped, but at present, he is more accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity.
It's just that at present, if you want to fight against Li Zhen, you still need their strength, and once Li Zhen is completely solved by him, then he is ready to take action against the three major forces.
And for Li Zhi's small actions in secret, the three major forces were not unaware, so at a court meeting, they rarely did not continue to tear up, but jointly passed a resolution - Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities every day, and there are many things to deal with every day......
Therefore, they decided to follow Li Zhen's example and send some people from their respective families to form a think tank and a team of assistants to assist Li Zhi in handling official affairs......
This resolution took effect completely after they discussed, without Li Zhi's consent at all, which shows that they didn't take Li Zhi to heart at all, but just used him as a puppet, and it is estimated that if the timing was not right, they would have killed Li Zhi and established himself as emperor.

"Wang Ping?
What are you doing here?
Seeing the person in front of him, Li Zhi was very unhappy, because the middle-aged man in front of him was one of the assistants arranged for Li Zhi by the three powerful middle families.
Of course, nominally this is an assistant, but in fact it is a spy specially used to monitor his every move.
Regarding Li Zhi's displeasure, Wang Ping only smiled flatly: "The minister is naturally here to let His Majesty retract this order that makes relatives painful and enemies happy." ” Wang Ping is a distant relative of the Taiyuan Wang family, but he is also a little capable, so he became the head of the assistant placed by the family next to Li Zhi, and competed with the people placed by Li Zhi, the two major forces of Buddhism and Confucianism.
"How does my order make the relatives hurt, and the enemies are about to die?"
When Li Zhi heard this, he was even more unhappy, and lost his temper and said, "Are you my assistant, or are you an opponent who came specifically to oppose me?"
In the past half a month, I have issued a total of 12 orders, but all of them have been intercepted by you, and none of them have left the palace......
What's the point of me being an emperor?
” This time the tantrum was deliberate, with Li Zhi's city, he naturally would not easily express his true thoughts, the reason why he did this was purely to confuse people, including almost smashing the entire hall just now, and there was also an element of drama - you must know that before he did not usurp the throne, no one knew who he was, although not having a reputation was not a good thing for him to succeed to the throne, but it also led to the fact that others did not know much about him, in fact, until now, The family didn't think highly of him, otherwise they wouldn't blatantly treat him as a puppet.
If the family knew his true ability, I am afraid that he would not have chosen him to be the emperor in the first place......
"Your Majesty, don't be angry, there is a reason why the minister is against it."
Although Wang Ping looked down on Li Zhi in his heart, he did a good job on the surface, and he was still polite: "The minister admits that the minister does have a little selfishness when he waits by His Majesty's side, but this time I can guarantee that I am really thinking about Your Majesty." ” However, Li Zhi didn't believe it at all, and sneered: "Yo, you are so sincere?
That's a real rarity. ” "Whether Your Majesty believes it or not, what the minister says is true, and there is absolutely no selfishness."
Wang Ping still had that expression: "As the saying goes, anger is not chaotic is a gentleman, Your Majesty, you were so angry just now, are you sure that the order you gave is the most reasonable?"
You must know that there are hundreds of rebellious generals, and their nine clans add up to at least tens of thousands, and you can kill tens of thousands of people at once......
Your Majesty, you already have a bad reputation, but I'm afraid that this time it will really stink completely. ” "......"
Li Zhi was speechless, when Wang Ping said that he had a bad reputation, he actually wanted to refute that his reputation was very good, but it was okay to say this to others, but the person he faced was a family, and he really couldn't say it - of course, when facing others, people didn't dare to blatantly tell him that his reputation was not good.
