"Giddyup! Giddyup! Giddyup! "
Just as Zhang Feng plunged into the veteran's lair of the Reclining Square …
Ten fast horses suddenly rushed into the gate of Mind.
When the ten fast horses entered the city gates, they did not show any signs of slowing down. From afar, everyone could clearly see the bright yellow flags on the backs of the horses.
They were messengers. Any citizen of the Tang Dynasty could not recognize the county magistrate or the city gate guards, but they had to remember the messengers of the Yellow Gate.
This was because these messengers were usually dispatched for economic and military affairs or important matters.
Under these circumstances, any citizen, no matter what they did, had to make way for them. Even if you were the crown prince, the Grand Tutor, or even a first-class official, you had to obediently make way for them to reach the emperor.
There was no choice.
This was the iron law of the Tang Dynasty.
At this moment, when everyone saw that there were actually ten small yellow flags at the city gate, they couldn't help but be shocked. They hurriedly made way for the city gate, and even the city guard opened the city gate in an instant.
"Giddyup!"
The shouting along the way resounded throughout the peaceful Chang 'an City.
The angry shouts continued all the way to the Vermillion Bird Gate without stopping. The leader of the Yellow Gate took out a strong crossbow that he carried with him. There was even a small bag hanging on the crossbow. He aimed at a wooden pillar on the city gate and shot it. Then, without stopping, he shouted, "Quickly open the city gate!"
"Economic and military affairs!"
The city guard hurriedly took off the brocade bag. After seeing the contents, he hurriedly shouted, "Open the gate quickly!"
In the muffled sound, the ten riders rushed into the imperial city without slowing down. Then, they rushed all the way to the Taiji Palace where Li Shimin was.
"Report! Economic and military affairs! Economic and military affairs! "
Before they reached the Taiji Palace, the leader of the Yellow Gate hurriedly took out a waist token. But here, they could not rush in like this. They would only face the strong crossbows of thousands of Jinwu Guards.
The leader was Yuchi Gong's son, Yuchi Baolin. He was a man built like an iron tower, and no one dared to say a word when he stood at the entrance of Taiji Palace.
Yuchi Bao Lin took the medallion and examined it. Then, he searched them and hurriedly brought them to the imperial study.
Without waiting for Yuchi Baolin to report, Little Guizi, who had been waiting here for a long time, indicated for him to leave. He then led the group through a small yellow door into the imperial study of Taiji Palace.
Li Shimin seemed to have long known about the matter of the Little Yellow Sect charging into the Imperial City. Such a thing had only happened once during his reign, and that was the time when the old thief Xieli had besieged the city.
For things to turn out this way, it was clear that things were not simple.
Li Shimin waved his hand with a solemn expression, stopping Xiao Huang Men from kneeling.
"Speak!"
Xiao Huangmen's cracked lips were covered in blood. He knelt on one knee and shouted hoarsely, "Reporting to the Emperor, Long You Dao has an urgent report!"
"Recently, the people we planted in Tubo have sent back a message. Please take a look, Your Majesty!"
As he spoke, Xiao Huangmen's hands trembled as he took out a letter covered in blood and handed it to Little Guizi.
When Little Guizi saw this, he did not dare to be careless. He hurriedly handed this blood-stained letter to Li Shimin.
Xiao Huangmen continued, "Your Majesty, at this time, the border between Long You Dao and Tubo has already erupted in chaos. Even Tubo's refugees have been raiding our Long You Dao for a long time. Even Tubo's army had raided a small town on the border five days ago."
"Even large scale civil unrest has erupted in Tubo's territory. At this time, the civil unrest in Tubo has faintly formed a huge force …"
Following Xiao Huangmen's introduction, Li Shimin had also finished reading the letter.
Actually, the contents of the letter were not much different from this. It was even more accurate. Rather than civil unrest, it was more accurate to say that it was a change caused by the famine caused by the plague of locusts.
What was mentioned in the letter was far more than what Xiao Huangmen knew. There were at least a hundred thousand people involved in the civil unrest.
Most importantly, from the initial lack of food, there was a phenomenon of cannibalism in Tubo. This was terrifying.
When faced with such a situation, Tubo could only do one thing, and that was to suppress it.
This was the cause of this tragedy. It was the same for Tuyuhun.
Li Shimin suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is there any news from Jiannan Dao?"
"Your Majesty, the envoy from Jiannan Dao is waiting outside the door."
"Come in!"
Li Shimin waved his hand.
In an instant, the remaining nine people hurriedly entered the imperial study. Once they entered, they hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Jiannan Dao. Yong Chang, Yaozhou, Kun Prefecture, and the neighboring Yazhou Prefecture have successively encountered an influx of refugees from Tubo. A large number of soldiers have even participated in the plundering!"
"Min Prefecture, Hezhou, Yaozhou, and the other places of Guannei Dao have also been plundered many times. The local garrisons have requested to go to war."
"There is a report from Youzhou that the Turks have recently made unusual military movements. It is suspected to be related to the civil unrest in Tubo …"
Listening to the reports one after another.
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly emitted a murderous intent.
He was also ambitious.
This was heaven's will!
If he could make use of this opportunity to take down Tubo and Tuyuhun, then …
