In the Imperial Palace, after Li Shimin left the morning court, he immediately went straight to the Li Zheng Hall. As a married couple for many years, whenever there was a major happy event, he would habitually share it with Empress Zhangsun.
"Father!"
Li Shimin had just returned to the Legislative Hall when he heard an anxious voice.
Li Shimin didn't need to turn around to know that it was his precious daughter, Changle. He couldn't help but feel jealous. There was only one reason for Changle to come to the palace at this time, and that was to find out news about Meton.
"A grown girl can't be kept at home!" Li Shimin looked up and sighed.
Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Changle's arrival naturally brought her news of Gao Chang's great victory. Naturally, she was in a good mood.
Princess Changle wasn't shy. She said generously, "Father, since Gao Chang has achieved great victory, then Meton should be fine, right?"
Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "What can happen to him? He doesn't have to be on the frontlines. Don't worry, this kid is very capable. He can't be quiet anywhere!"
Princess Changle's eyes lit up when she heard that. She immediately knew that Meton must have done something incredible in Gao Chang.
"Grandpa, please tell Sha 'er about father!" Mo Sha hugged Li Shimin's leg and said coquettishly.
Li Shimin's expression softened. He held Mo Sha in his arms and slowly told her about Meton's achievements in Gao Chang.
"Breaking the city in one hit." Empress Zhangsun and Princess Changle couldn't help but open their mouths wide. Although Mo Jiazi had already promised to break the city in one hit, everyone thought that it was just an exaggeration. However, when Mo Jiazi actually did it, everyone realized that the one hit that Mo Jiazi had mentioned was really breaking the city walls in one hit.
"Yeah! I knew that Father was the best! "Mo Sha exclaimed when she heard that her father was so powerful.
Li Shimin couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the past, in his daughter's eyes, he was also the best in the world. However, Mo Sha didn't know the significance of breaking the city walls in one hit. Mo Sha's words were no longer a daughter's worship, but a fact.
When he heard that the city walls were broken in one hit, even Li Shimin was shocked. For thousands of years, the city walls all over Huaxia had performed miracles after miracles. However, the city walls with the strongest defense had finally met their match.
"This is great news. In addition, Changle rarely comes to the palace. Let's have a good gathering today." Empress Zhangsun greeted gently. Ever since Meton went to war with the army, Princess Changle stayed in the Mo Clan. In addition, she was pregnant, so she rarely came to the palace. It was rare to see her today, so Empress Zhangsun was very happy.
"This is indeed a good thing!" Li Shimin nodded solemnly. In his opinion, it was even better that such a powerful weapon was in the hands of the Tang dynasty. If it fell into the hands of the neighboring countries, Li Shimin might not even be able to sleep well. After all, the Tang dynasty had too many cities.
Soon, Li Chengqian and the other siblings heard that Changle had come to the palace. Immediately, the Li Zheng Hall was filled with cheers and laughter. This time, Princess Changle and Mo Sha were undoubtedly the center of attention. And the reason for all of this was naturally Meton's shocking attack.
After the court meeting ended, the news of Gao Chang's battle quickly spread among the people. The originally calm people were like a stone that stirred up a thousand ripples.
"Mo Jiazi broke the city in one hit!" Everyone was speechless. Gao Chang's great victory was a matter of course for them, but Mo Jiazi's one hit shocked the entire Chang 'an City like thunder.
Although Mo Jiazi's legend was not new, this time it really shocked everyone.
"Is that true? That's Gao Chang City, the most majestic city in the Western Region. It is said that it was modeled after Chang 'an City. "Everyone questioned. After all, since ancient times, the city walls were the strongest defense.
"Of course it's true. I've heard that the Mohist's son blasted Gaochang's city wall into two like a piece of paper with a single order. Gravel and bricks scattered across a radius of several hundred feet," an insider said proudly.
Everyone couldn't help sucking in a breath of cold air. Since ancient times, it wasn't that there hadn't been a method to cause the city walls to collapse, and that was to flood the city. However, the conditions for success were extremely harsh, and it would take several months for the results to be seen. However, the Mo family's son only needed one attack to cause the city walls to collapse in an instant.
Since the return of the messenger, more and more details were spread. However, the more details were spread, the more shocked the entire Chang 'an City was.
"It is said that Gao Chang City may not be taken even if tens of thousands of people were sacrificed. However, Mo Jiazi broke the city in one hit. He alone can defeat tens of thousands of soldiers!" A Chang 'an City citizen murmured.
At this point, the rumor that Mo Jiazi alone could defeat tens of thousands of soldiers spread throughout Chang 'an City. This time, no one doubted it. It was recognized by everyone.
Coupled with Mo Jiazi's creation of the Merton Hat, traveling in the snow, skiing, and even creating the Wind Mill at Jade Gate Pass, the concept of transforming the power of heaven and earth was verified once again. Even the news of Mo Jiazi carrying a waterwheel to save 100,000 soldiers in an emergency was spread. For a moment, the news of Mo Jiazi in Chang 'an City overshadowed the great victory of Gao Chang.
Some people even said that with Mo Jiazi and Gunpowder, it would be strange if they lost.
On the surface, Mo Jiazi's news was a hot topic in the city. However, in the dark, Mo Jiazi was moving in the dark.
In a secret room outside Chang 'an City, a weak candlelight flickered. Three pampered figures flickered in the candlelight.
"With Gao Chang's great victory, Mo Jiazi will probably be back soon. Everyone, let's discuss!" a middle-aged man suddenly said.
"Once Mo Jiazi returns to the Tang dynasty, the Mo family, which has so many Mo skills, will certainly expand again. Now that the Mo family has become a force to be reckoned with, if we don't take action, I'm afraid it will become a disaster in the future," an old man said viciously.
The rise of the Mo family had violated too many interests and even set off a new round of Esoteric Debate. There was a faint trend of reshuffling the cards in the Tang dynasty. This made many vested interests extremely uneasy. However, Mo Jiazi was extremely tenacious. Even after being suppressed repeatedly, he was still tenacious and even grew rapidly. With Li Shimin's support behind him, Mo Jiazi was allowed to stir up trouble.
"In my opinion, Mo Jiazi has contributed a lot to the Mo family's success today. Without Mo Jiazi, the so-called revival of the Mo family would be nothing but a dream," a young man said coldly. Anyone could see that Mo Jiazi played a key role in the revival of the Mo family and even in the Esoteric Debate.
The three men were silent for a while. Suddenly, they said in unison, "Mo Jiazi must die!"
"But Mo Jiazi can't die in the Tang dynasty. Otherwise, none of us will end well. We will all face the end of being punished by His Majesty," the middle-aged man said with a frown. Mo Jiazi was the leader of the Mo family and the prince consort of Princess Changle. Not to mention, he had made significant contributions to the Tang dynasty and was highly valued by Li Shimin. Once Mo Jiazi died, it would immediately cause a great uproar. It might even lead to the revenge of the Mo family and Li Shimin's revenge. The best result would be for Mo Jiazi to die in the Tang dynasty. In this way, they could clear themselves of the blame.
"Damn it! Who would have thought that the Firearms Supervisor would be so powerful? They managed to pacify Gaochang in such a short period of time. Otherwise, we would have had plenty of opportunities to kill the Mo Family's son in the battle of Gaochang." The old man lamented. Swords and spears had no eyes on the battlefield. If Mo Jiazi died on the battlefield, no one would have any evidence.
The young man sneered. "Don't worry. Lu Dongzan has already sent a message. As long as we create an opportunity to kill Mo Jiazi, Tubo will definitely kill Mo Jiazi outside the Jade Gate Pass."
If someone else was here, they would definitely be in an uproar. No one would have thought that the people of the Tang dynasty would collude with the enemy and betray the country, intending to murder their own people for their own selfish reasons.
As for why Lu Dongzan was so eager to kill Mo Jiazi, they naturally knew very well. It was they who told Lu Dongzan that Mo Jiazi was cracking the secret of altitude sickness. Secondly, it was for the secret gunpowder technique in Mo Jiazi's hands.
These people were so crazy that they did not hesitate to destroy the interests of the entire Tang dynasty for their own power.
"It's not difficult to kill Mo Jiazi! It's impossible for 100,000 soldiers to return in triumph at the same time. Firstly, Gao Chang's situation is not stable. He still needs to leave some people behind to intimidate the Western Turks. Secondly, the 2,000-mile Gobi Desert will not allow 100,000 soldiers to return at the same time. "The middle-aged man analyzed.
"As long as we leak out the news of Princess Changle's pregnancy, I believe that there will naturally be people who will advise the son of the Mo family to be the first to return. As for what we need to do, we need to do our utmost to facilitate this, allowing the son of the Mo family to be the first to lead the Firearms Division back in triumph." The elder spoke viciously.
"Wouldn't it be easy for Tubo to take down Mo Jiazi's Firearms Supervisor with only a thousand people? This time, Mo Jiazi will not be able to escape," the young man said casually.
The three nodded slightly and disappeared into the night.
