Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xiao Yu didn't speak after hearing this. He was silent for a while and said: "Even you are under suspicion. It seems that I, Xiao Yu, am really in a place of suspicion. I can't keep this Li Tang."

    "Uncle, what do you mean?"

    Xiao Yu waved his hand and said: "I think I, Xiao Yu, am the son of the Emperor of the Liang Dynasty, the younger brother of the Empress of the Sui Dynasty, the current minister Zuopushe, and a relative of the Emperor, and I also ended up in this situation. Since Li Yuan, Li Shimin doesn't want me  I went to the State of Zhao. I heard that the people in the Zhao State Department begged me for more than a day or two, and Queen Xiao also wrote to me many times, urging me to surrender to Zhao and ensure that I would remain prosperous throughout my life. How about it?  Nephew, are you willing to come with me?"

    After hearing what Xiao Yu said, Xiao Deyan said immediately: "Uncle, my nephew has exactly what he wants. Now that Li Tang is in decline, it is really difficult to expect Li Shimin to turn things around. Although this man has Xiang Yu's courage and Liu Bang's strategy, but  Li Chongjiu was also a hero at that time. What's more, now Zhao Guolian has defeated the Turks and Goguryeo, and has relieved the worries in the north and east. Now as long as Lin Shihong is leveled, the world will have two out of three points. Now it's time to use all its troops against Li Tang. I see this  The first battle between Li and Tang will bring disaster and disaster."

    Xiao Yu stroked his beard and said: "That's right. In this way, my betrayal makes sense. I just want to see Li Shimin's face when he learned that Zuopushe, the minister of the imperial court, defected to Zhao. This is also the reason why the Li family and his son did not take me seriously.  as a result of."

    When Xiao Yu said this, he showed hatred.

    That night Xiao Yu made a decision, and the next day he asked for leave from the court and went to the outskirts of Chang'an to visit graves.  On the way, Xiao Yu was picked up by people from the Fengwen Division and suddenly left Chang'an for Zhao.

    The news of Xiao Yu's rebellion against the Tang Dynasty was not concealed for long. The first person to discover that Xiao Yu was missing was a scribe from Shangshu Province. After learning that Xiao Yu had not returned to Chang'an all night, this person immediately reported it to Li Shimin.

    Li Shimin was immediately furious after hearing the news. While blocking the news, he sent people to arrest Xiao Yu.

    ????????????????????? But how could the news about the disappearance of Zuopu She, the minister of the dynasty, be concealed?  Grapevine news continued to break out, especially after Chang'an sent people to the Weishui River and captured people along the Yellow River, the news leaked out.

    Many officials in Chang'an have already heard the news that Xiao Yu rebelled against Tang and surrendered to Zhao. Even the prime minister and minister of the dynasty rebelled against Zhao. This matter is really no small matter.  The more they concealed it, the more they couldn't hide it. The shock in the court was as if one of the three of Zhao State, Wen Yanbo, Wei Zheng, and Wang Gui, had surrendered to Li Tang.

    The shock in Li Tang's court was considerable, not to mention that Xiao Yu, as the prime minister, had a lot of secrets about Li Tang, so he surrendered to Zhao.  Li Tang's domestic situation was revealed in front of Zhao Guo without any concealment.  Now everyone in the Li Tang court must be in panic. After Xiao Yu surrendered to Zhao, who among Li Tang's officials can be trusted? Everyone is in danger at this moment.

    With the addition of Li Yuanji, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Deyan's surrender to Zhao, the officials in Li Tang Dynasty did not know who else would announce the surrender to Zhao tomorrow.  The officials were spending their days in fear, but on the surface, Chang'an City still maintained a peaceful appearance under Li Shimin's maintenance.

    Just when the government seemed to have stabilized the situation, the trigger of the Xuanwumen Incident, Yang Wenqian himself, officially declared a rebellion in Gyeongju.

    This news, like firewood lit by fire, immediately ignited the situation in Litang and Hexi.

    In the Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin was sitting next to the dragon chair. There was no one on the side of the dragon chair, but everyone knew that it was impossible for Li Yuan to come back and sit on the dragon chair at this moment, so Li Shimin beside him was already the helmsman of the Tang Dynasty.  .

    The lights in Liangyi Palace were brightly lit, and Li Shimin's closest officials were reporting to Li Shimin.

    Fang Xuanling said to Li Shimin: "Duan Decao, the general manager of Yanzhou, and Li Yuan, the king of Lujiang, refused to obey His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's edict, and the news of returning to Chang'an was quietly spread in the court. However, these two people are good friends. Although they are against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you  , but did not publicly express his intention to rebel. But Yang Wenqian openly raised his troops to rebel. The banner he raised was to raise troops to kill His Highness the Crown Prince, avenge Li Jiancheng, and welcome His Majesty to take charge of the Tang Dynasty!"

    Li Shimin said: "Yang Wenqian is an ignorant man. I have nothing to say to such a person. I sent an order to go down and pay homage to Hou Junji as General Zuowuwei. He sent troops to attack Yang Wenqian. He then sent Lingzhou Governor Yang Shidao to attack from Lingzhou on both sides."  Attack from both sides. I want to use my force to defeat Yang Wenqian and kill him as a warning to others!"

    Du Ruhui said: "His Royal Highness, Yang Wenqian's rebellion is completely unwise. The land of Qingzhou is no better than Qingzhou where Duan Decao is located, and Hedong where Li Yuan is located. The power of Zhao State here is beyond the reach. If this person rebels, if he can be wiped out quickly  , This is also a shock to Duan Decao and Li Yuan."

    After Fang and Du finished speaking, Gao Shilian pinched his beard and said: "His Royal Highness, there is one more thing. At present, many people in the clan have accused you of killing your brothers during the Xuanwu Sect incident. Although Your Majesty has tried his best to save it,  But there are still many people in the clan who resist."Only Li Shimin¡¯s half-uncle Gao Shilian dared to say this to him.  No one else dared to mention Xuanwumen in front of Li Shimin, not even Fang Xuanling or Du Ruhui.

    Li Shimin said: "My father learned from the lessons of the previous Sui Dynasty and refused to trust outsiders. He only valued the clan as generals, so he promoted Li Shentong, Li Shenfu, Li Daoxuan, Li Xiaogong, Li Yuan and others. This is nepotism. These few people  Among them, apart from Li Xiaogong, who is really capable, and Li Yuan actually opposes Gu. In such a clan, I don¡¯t want Gu!"

    Hearing what Li Shimin said, Fang Xuanling and others advised: "Your Highness can't say that. No matter what, these clans are His Majesty's relatives. If you don't trust them, who else can you trust?"

    "I don't trust them alone," Li Shimin said. "In Tiance Mansion, there are people like Hou Junji, Changsun Wuji, Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Liang, Cheng Zhijie and others. If any one of them is not ten times better than them as a general, I won't mention them."  In the Tang Dynasty, there were famous generals such as Chai Shao, Yang Gongren, Liu Hongji, and Zhang Gongjin. Their talents were ten times better than theirs. Why should they control the military? Employ people based on their ability and never nepotism.  , we should all get rid of them and let talented people serve as generals!"

    Li Shimin said this and all the generals present in the Tiance Mansion expressed their gratitude. This is the monarch they deserve to be loyal to, and he will live up to their strong support in the Xuanwu Sect.

    Fang Xuanling praised from the bottom of his heart that this was a good strategy. Li Yuan relied on reusing the clan to maintain the present of the Tang Dynasty. Now that Li Shimin came to power by usurping power, he couldn't use Li Yuan's team. Of course, he had to use the Tiance Mansion that he trusted.  A general is a general who takes over military power.

    That¡¯s why Li Shimin planned to eliminate the military power of Li Shentong, Li Shenfu, Li Daoxuan, Li Xiaogong, and Li Yuan.  Although among these people, Li Shentong also strongly supported Li Shimin's rise to power, Li Shimin was determined to replace him and let his trusted generals take over the military power.  r1152
