Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Four summers of innovation.

    It was an uneasy summer for both Li Tang and Zhao Guo.

    Zhao Guo defeated the Turks in the north and eliminated the troubles in the north. He also defeated Goguryeo and relieved the worries of the east. Now he can use all his troops to the west to deal with Li Tang.

    For Li Tang, Li Jiancheng was killed, Li Yuan was placed under house arrest in Da'an Palace, and Li Shimin became the prince of Li Tang. Li Tang in his hands faced a situation of internal and external troubles.

    There were Li Jiancheng inside, Li Yuanji and the rest of the party were in rebellion, and Li Chongjiu was persecuted by the Zhao State outside.

    After Li Shimin came to the throne, he massacred Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's remaining members.  This is different from the Xuanwu Gate Incident in history. At that time, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were dead, and there was no one in Li Tang to compete with him for the throne, so he could tolerate these remaining parties and use these people for his own purposes to gain a good reputation.  .

    At that time, Wei Zheng, Xue Wanche, etc. were all remnants of Li Jiancheng, and they were later reused by Li Shimin.

    But it¡¯s different now. Li Yuanji was rescued by Li Chongjiu and fled to Zhao State, which means that the remaining party of the prince still has the possibility of recovery.

    Therefore, Li Shimin had to implement the strategy of cutting off his flesh. Therefore, in the first month after he ascended the throne as the crown prince of Li Tang, Li Tang was in a bloody storm.

    The old generals Feng Li and Xie Shufang of the East Palace who rescued the prince outside Xuanwu Gate fled to Zhongnan Mountain, but were still captured and killed.

    At the same time, Li Jiancheng's sons were Li Chengdao, King of Anlu, Li Chengde, King of Hedong, Li Chengxun, King of Wu'an, Li Chengming, King of Runan, Li Chengyi, King of Julu, Li Chengye, King of Liang County, Yuanjizi, Li Chengluan, King of Yuyang, Li Chengjie, King of Pu'an, Li Chengyu, King of Jiangxia, and Yi  Li Chengdu, King of Yang.  Li Shimin sent people to kill him and expelled him from the Li Tang genealogy.

    In addition, there are thousands of people implicated.  Either killed or exiled.  Within Chang'an.  shrouded in terror.

    On the other side of Iron Blood, Li Shimin promoted meritorious officials on a large scale.  This is the person who helped him in the Xuanwu Gate incident this time.

    Li Shimin currently regards Yu Wenshiji as the crown prince Zhan Shi, Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui as the left concubines, Gao Shilian and Fang Xuanling as the right concubines, Hou Junji as the left guard, Cheng Zhijie as the right guard, and Yu Zhining as the middle she.  Among the people, Chu Liang was the one who gave up the job, and Yao Silian was the one who washed the horse.

    The former King of Qin and his old party were all reused.  He also gave the gold, silk and other utensils obtained from the confiscation of the Qi Prince's house to Hou Junji who had made great achievements.

    In order to alleviate the impact of previous killings.  Li Shimin also issued an edict on Li Yuan's behalf, granting one rank to the civil and military officers who had already reached the fifth rank but had no previous rank, and one rank to the sixth rank, which made the frightened officials feel slightly reassured.

    In addition, Pei Ji and Xiao Yu, Li Yuan's close confidants and veterans, Feng Deyi and Li Shimin who supported the prince, also gave him courtesy.  In addition, Li Shimin increased the number of households belonging to Shangshu Zuopushe Pei Ji from 500 to 1,500.  Everyone knows that Pei Ji made things difficult for Li Shimin many times when he was there.  He also supported Li Jiancheng, but Li Shimin treated him favorably, which made the officials in the court feel at ease.  You can also see Li Shimin's skills.

    Now in Wuji Hall, Li Shimin stood on the main hall with his hands behind his hands.  Li Shimin wears the crown of the prince.  But he already had the air of an emperor in every move he made, and all the officials of the Tang Dynasty bowed their heads aside.

    This month has been since Li Shimin took over the Wuji Palace.  All things planned and done are in order.  Not only did it stabilize the split between Li and Tang due to the death of Li Jiancheng.  Moreover, Li Tang's declining national power was also improving.

    The Lord of Innate Heroes.  Nothing more than this.  This is the person who hates Li Shimin the most, and he thinks so in his heart.

    Li Shimin turned around from the palace and said: "Now that the solitary prince is supervising the country, everything is in ruins and waiting for improvement. All officials can go to their posts to prepare for Chen Anren to manage the country."

    After Li Shimin's words, His Highness and his ministers all made suggestions one after another. They all wanted to do their best to show off in front of the prince.  In the past, when Li Yuan hired people, he paid great attention to family background and family background. At the same time, he treated Pei Ji, a meritorious official from Yuan Cong who followed him in Taiyuan affairs, and treated him favorably.

    Li Shimin is different, he only values ??talent and does not focus on family background, but on ability.

    The ministers all spoke one after another, and everyone in the court expressed their opinions. Li Shimin smiled and nodded when he saw this scene.

    "Report! Your Majesty, it's urgent from the Zhongshu Province!"

    "read!"

    "General Su Dingfang of the State of Zhao sneaked across Heyang and attacked Hanoi. Our general Li Shentong was attacked by Su Dingfang and Wang Mahan and lost Hanoi. Li Shentong was defeated for thirty miles and requested your Majesty for reinforcements."

    This news was like a ladle of cold water poured on the heads of the ministers of Li and Tang Dynasties who were discussing with great interest.

    The ministers couldn't help but think that this was the case again. Whenever Li Tang's situation improved slightly, Zhao's attack would come.  Li Chongjiu really did not give a moment of peace to Li Shimin, who had just succeeded to the throne of Li Tang.  Only then did the situation stabilize a little. Li Chongjiu, regardless of using troops against Yuan Gaisuwen and Lin Shihong at the same time, gathered people.Ma Lai attacked Li Tang.  It stands to reason that Zhao State has no spare power now.

    But Li Chongjiu attacked Li Tang and prevented Li Shimin from smoothly integrating Li Tang.

    "Your Highness, Cui Dunli came to report that the King of Lujiang, Li Yuan, is unwilling to obey the imperial edict and come to Chang'an."

    Li Shimin heard this and said: "Li Yuan, King of Lujiang, belongs to the clan and has no military exploits. However, he was trusted by his father and appointed a general. Now he actually refuses to listen to the announcement."

    Seeing Li Shimin's face full of anger, all the ministers present knew in their hearts that Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng had always been on good terms.  Now that Li Jiancheng is dead, Li Yuan is naturally worried about Li Shimin settling the score in the future.  I heard that after Li Yuanji surrendered to Zhao, he personally persuaded his uncle not to listen to the announcement of going to Chang'an. Li Yuan, who was originally a coward, had the courage to refuse Li Shimin's summons.

    Fang Xuanling said: "Your Highness, Li Yuan is an important general in Hedong. If the pressure is too tight, he may surrender to Zhao at any time. We can only temporarily appease him."

    "Let this go for a while."

    Du Ruhui said: "Your Highness, there is a good news here."

    "Du Aiqing, why don't you tell me soon."

    "Nuo," Du Ruhui said, "In May of this year, at the invitation of Li Chongjiu, the Western Turks sent troops to raid Kuozhou, Lanzhou, and Qinzhou. Li Chongjiu also sent Liang Shidu to lead Party Xiang and Jihu troops to attack Hezhou. As a result,  Our generals Yang Gongren and Chai Shao set up an ambush to defeat the Western Turkic army. They defeated the large army with a small number and surrendered tens of thousands of them. The Western Turkic leader Yehu Khan was defeated and had already sent people to Chang'an to sue for peace. And the Zhao army saw the west  The Turks were defeated and retreated."

    "Chai Aiqing, Yang Aiqing did a good job!" Li Shimin smiled and nodded.

    "Clowns like the Western Turks think that we can take advantage of the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, but they are asking for trouble. In the past, they would have been beaten hard, but now the Zhao State is pressing too hard. Since its Khan wants to seek peace, he will  Don't push too hard." Pei Ji suggested to Li Shimin.

    "Pei Aiqing's words are wrong," Li Shimin rejected Pei Ji's suggestion in court. "If people like the Western Turks are allowed to take advantage of the situation, Tuyuhun and the other countries in the Western Regions will not be more outrageous in the future. I will let them know that they have offended Li  As a result of Tang Dynasty, ordered Yang Gongren and Chai Shao to pursue the victory!"

    Pei Ji's opinion was rejected by Li Shimin, his expression froze, and he immediately retreated in despair.

    "No!" Du Ruhui immediately accepted the order and retreated.

    "Hu Chenglang and others in Qianzhou killed Chang Shi and defected to Liangshidu. Liu Min, the governor of Qianzhou, led his army to pursue him, but Hu Chenglang escaped and has now arrived in Zhao."

    "In addition, Duan Decao is also unstable if we look at the rewards in detail. This person is Li Jiancheng's confidant, and the rest of the party is also supporting its troops and respecting itself. They are waiting and watching."

    News comes one after another, all about the recent rebellion.  Although Li Shimin had killed a wave of people vigorously and violently, the rebellions of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's remaining parties continued.  Although most of them have been suppressed, who knows whether they will revive again in the future.

    After retiring from the imperial court.

    The internal history ordered Xiao Yu to return home, and someone immediately reported: "Master Xiang, Xiao Deyan Xiao Shidu is here to visit."

    Xiao Yu nodded and said, "After I change my clothes, I will ask him to come to the inner hall to meet me."

    When Xiao Yu arrived at the house, he took off his court robe, put on his regular clothes and came to the inner hall.  This Xiao Deyan also came from the Lanling Xiao family, the great-great-grandson of Zuopushe Xiao Sihua, a famous official in the Southern Song Dynasty.

    There were not many children of the Lanling Xiao family serving as officials in Chang'an, so Xiao Yu was very close to this nephew, and they often visited each other.  Previously, Xiao Deyan served as the East Palace Attendant in Prince Li Jiancheng's palace. This was a very promising position, but now that Li Jiancheng died, everything changed.

    Xiao Yu met this nephew in the inner hall, but when Xiao Deyan saw him, he cried and bowed down and said: "Uncle, please make the decision for your nephew!"

    Xiao Yu sighed when he saw it: "I know you have lost your officialdom, so you can bear with this for the time being."

    Xiao Deyan said: "It would be fine if I lose my official position, but if I am humiliated by others, how can a seven-foot man endure it?"

    "Why are you being insulted?"

    Xiao Deyan said: "Uncle, since the former prince was killed by King Qin, the ministers in the East Palace have been trying to find a way out. I have also made the worst plan before. Since the prince failed, then as a close confidant of the prince, I will not be liquidated.  Even if the official career is interrupted, there is nothing to say. Who told me that I am on the wrong team. Butbut, the news came half a month ago. In the past, the East Palace officials have revolted and become officials, but I am the only one who has no news. "

    "At first, I thought the news was delayed. Later, those people with lower official positions than me in the East Palace were all promoted. I still didn't get the news. Of course, I couldn't sit still and went to the Ministry of Personnel to ask. How could I know that the officials in the Ministry of Personnel were interested in me?  After many prevarications, I was not allowed to see the Minister and the Minister."

    ??????????????????? Xiao Yu??: "This is something wrong with the official department. Even if the minister is not here, the boss is still there, and even the boss doesn't see you?"

    Xiao Deyan said: "Yes, I couldn't help but argue with the officials of the Ministry of Personnel. It was useless to argue. I had to go home and ask someone to inquire. Finally, I learned the news. It turned out that the officials of the Ministry of Personnel saw that I was from Lanling Xiao  I just want to say that the Lanling Xiao family is currently in high position in the Zhao State. If such a person is used, I don¡¯t know whether he will become a spy of the Zhao State in the future, so I simply won¡¯t be elected as an official. Uncle, you think this is irritating or not, but I am not  I am angry for myself, but for you, uncle. I am treated like this. Uncle, will your life in the court become more difficult soon?"

    "Does the Li family treat you as a confidant?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
