Chapter 478 Public Case
Most of the time, the first party to sue for peace must be the first to take the heavier side in the war, but if you really want to judge who is strong and who is weak by the matter of seeking peace, then you are wrong. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although Li Tang and Jin were defeated, and there were strong enemies on all sides, in contrast, Li Po, who had gradually become the dominant Jin land, was still weak, and all kinds of drawbacks brought about by rapid expansion would become the main problem that Li Po needed to face for a long time.
Li Tang, who has gained a firm foothold in Kansai, has been defeated one after another, even if his momentum is slightly weaker, but he is not comparable to Li Po.
For example, sending a messenger is easy for people to do, Li Po can't do it, sending a messenger to Chang'an, there is no suitable person to say, and he doesn't want to do it.
The initiative in political exchanges is also unobstructed at this time.
The envoy of Li Tang who came to Hedong this time does not need to ask, it is Li Xiuning, the princess of Pingyang, and the deputy envoy is Wei Jie, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, and the eunuch of the palace, Sima Dou Dan of the Qin Palace.
These two are quite interesting to say, they are both close ministers of the emperor, but Wei Jie is friendly with the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and has a personal friendship with Shi Lijing, the governor of Princess Pingyang.
On the other hand, Dou Dan is the Sima of the Qin Palace, after fleeing back to Beijing last year, he went with the Qin King Li Shimin to conquer Xue Ju, and it can be said that Li Shimin is a person who is very trusted.
Originally, he was also a figure in the scene of the crown prince Li Jiancheng, but in Jinyang, he was tossed by Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and even complained about the prince Li Jiancheng, so he switched to Li Shimin, the king of Qin.
And this person has a little personal relationship with Li Po reluctantly.
It can be seen from these three main and deputy envoys that Li Yuan has put a lot of effort into sending envoys.
The envoy came a little late, and it had been more than a month since the end of the Jindi War.
It stands to reason that there should not be a delay until the time is due.
But in June, when Li Xiuning was about to leave Beijing to envoy Hedong, a major event occurred in Chang'an, Xijing, which delayed Li Xiuning's trip.
Under the defeat, the hearts of Chang'an people fluctuated.
Li Yuan didn't say as people said, the thief is so powerful, it is difficult to compete, it is better to abandon the east of the river, hold on to the west of the Guanxi, or even panic so much that he wants to move the capital.
But he must also bear the consequences of defeat, and the first thing he has to do is to choose a good general and guard the ferries along the Yellow River, in case Li Po takes advantage of the gap to advance westward.
At this time, in the selection of generals, Li Yuan had already shown a little unconfidence.
Faced with the few people recommended by his subordinates, he hesitated again and again.
At this time, Li Shimin's letter arrived, and the recommended general to lead the army was Liu Wenjing.
And Li Jiancheng recommended Qu Tutong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the important ministers around him did not agree with each other, some recommended Tang Jian, some recommended Dugu Huaien, the secretary of the Ministry of Labor, and some wanted to use this to reinstate Pei Lianguan, or even re-command and lead the troops in front of the army.
Well, there are too many candidates, which makes Li Yuan hesitate.
Originally, when the foreign enemy was pressing the border, and everyone was in unison with the outside world, but for various reasons, Li Tang's internal strife broke out.
Li Shimin's recommendation of Liu Wenjing is not a matter of one sentence, and then naturally there are various means to follow, and a few days later, the voice of Beijing recommending Liu Wenjing to lead the troops became louder.
At this time, if Liu Wenjing was honest, maybe he would have led the troops out of Beijing, you know, since he returned to Beijing, because of his discord with Pei Lian, he was also disgusted by Li Yuan, so he stayed in Beijing until today.
But Liu Wenjing felt wronged, and at this time, he felt that he was about to lead the troops to the battle, and the rest of the people were all local chickens and tile dogs, and they were not enough to compete with him.
So, when he was feasting in his own hall, he made a lot of nonsense when he was drunk, in addition to complaining that Li Yuan treated him too thinly, and now his glory and wealth are not enough to compare with his merits, but also said that when the times are difficult, he still has to use him Liu Wenjing Yunyun.
By the way, he also scolded Pei Lin for being an incompetent and stupid person, and fled alone after defeat, but he was still valued by the emperor......
Well, he simply slapped Li Yuan here, where he was arrogant, few heroes since ancient times can be compared with him, even Shi Wansui and others back then, compared with Liu Wenjing at this time, they have to be admired.
Not only Li Yuan heard about this, but Pei Lin also heard about it.
As a result, a well-known public case in the history books later occurred.
At this time, Liu Wenjing's family was not very peaceful, Liu Wenjing's brother was suspected of being evil, and both of them worshiped Buddhism and believed in the Tao, so his brother Liu Wenqi started to do the law, it is said that he was a wholesale dance knife at night, patrolling between the mansions, like a god of night travel.
At this time, one of Liu Wenjing's concubines was bought, and she secretly accused Liu Wenjing's brother of cursing the Son of Heaven and having the intention of rebellion.
Speaking of which, Li Yuan is not a foolish person, this kind of nonsense, if it is a normal season, he will definitely laugh at it, and maybe he will tie up the person who told him, in order to appease the heart of the hero.
But at this time, Li Yuan was already extremely disgusted with Li Wenjing, and his second son Li Shimin was not in Chang'an, and under the exchange of letters, he made the ministers speak in unison and recommended Liu Wenjing to lead the troops, which made him faintly uneasy.
So, on only a trumped-up charge, he asked Liu Wenjing's mansion to be raided, found some "evidence", and by the way, Liu Wenjing's brothers were all imprisoned.
As soon as Liu Wenjing fell, whether Li Yuan wanted to or not, the people involved would not be one or two.
Liu Wenjing's subordinates in Beijing were convicted one after another, and even with the help of well-intentioned people, Fang Xuanling and others in the Qin Palace's mansion were implicated.
At this time, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, became a pioneer.
Li Yuanji and Li Shimin were not very harmonious, and when he was defeated and fled back to Beijing, he immediately went to serve in the Northwest Army.
However, even if Li Shimin was not in the army, Liu Wenjing and other army commanders did not take him, the king of Qi, in their eyes, it can be said that he stayed in the Northwest Army for a few months and was greatly wronged.
When Li Shimin returned to the northwest, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, immediately returned to Beijing in a bad mood.
When Liu Wenjing's general trend was gone, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, called an active one, not only repeatedly talked about Liu Wenjing's dominance in front of Li Yuan, and wanted to put Liu Wenjing to death, but also united with Pei Lin and others to clean up Liu Wenjing's old department.
When Fang Xuanling of the Qin Wangfu was also implicated, Li Yuanji was overjoyed, and he personally rushed into the Qin Wangfu with people to get people.
The frightened Fang Xuanling and others walked over the wall, and escaped from the Beijing division in embarrassment to complain to Li Shimin in the Northwest Army.
This turmoil involves too many things, and this matter can be said to be the result of Liu Wenjing's conspiracy to rebel, and Li Tang's internal contradictions accumulated to a certain stage and violently erupted.
Li Yuan's three sons revolved around the attack and defense of the crown prince's position, the disagreement between the civil ministers and military generals, the emperor's suspicion of the meritorious heroes and the children of the gate lords, and the defeat of the outside army, etc., all of which combined to create such a terrifying situation.
Not only was Li Shimin's Qin Palace, but even Li Xiuning's Princess Mansion was also affected.
Some people took the opportunity to send Shi Li Jing, the head of Princess Pingyang's mansion, to secretly accumulate the dead, plotting against his son-in-law, and so on.
The document for the arrest of Li Jing this time was not issued by Li Yuan, but was issued from the Wei Mansion, and it was obvious that Emperor Li Yuan had also lost some control of the situation in Chang'an City.
There are two hundred Xiaoguo, and two thousand cows are ready to lead, wanting to enter the princess's mansion to capture Li Jing.
It is worth mentioning that these two Qianniu Beishen and the concubine Chai Shao are good friends, and they are both the children of the gate lords in the eastern capital of Luoyang, and the ones who implicated Li Jing are actually the old departments that were collected when Chang'an County raised troops.
Like Liu Wenjing's rebellion, the reasons for this are very complicated, and some people don't want to see such an existence as Princess Pingyang's Mansion, which can influence the emperor's life, plus some personal grievances, or even hot abacus, wanting Princess Pingyang to make enemies with some people, so there is also the matter of the Wei Mansion sending troops.
At this time, like many major events, it is difficult to say what the reason is, and the speculations of later generations have little basis, and a calm reader of history will not believe any words and sentences said in the history books, nor will he delve into the details in the meantime, but only know that there is such a thing, and the result will be over.
After that, according to your own needs, when you talk about it, just use your imagination a little.
The person who came to capture Li Jing chose the wrong time and the wrong place.
Princess Pingyang's Mansion is not the Mansion of King Qin, it can be said that it is the strongest fortress in Chang'an City except for the Imperial Palace, and the owner of Pingyang Princess's Mansion, Princess Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning, has not yet been edicted out of Beijing.
Hearing that someone was going to come to arrest Li Jing, Li Xiuning, who was already worried about the upheaval in Beijing, and was about to enter the palace to persuade his father, was immediately furious.
What kind of bullshit Wei Mansion, the military order from her house is no less than Wei Mansion, even if it is the emperor's order, if it is not in line with her wishes, she can also let the emperor's order go around the door again, Shangshu and other provinces, when it is sent to her, it will definitely be changed beyond recognition.
The military order of the Guard? In her eyes, it is a piece of waste paper, she can listen to it if it is suitable, and if it is not suitable, no one dares to say anything if she tears it up for you directly.
Undoubtedly, she is the most special one among Li Yuan's children, the identity of the princess, coupled with the emperor's favor, and military merits, Jianya opened the mansion and did not let her brothers, it is really not so easy to move the Pingyang Princess Mansion in a bright and bright way.
This kind of private sending troops to besiege the government is almost impossible again.
Of course, this can also slightly show the chaos in Chang'an City at this time.
So, when the soldiers who captured Li Jing came to the princess's mansion, the palace gate was already wide open, and Li Xiuning, the princess of Pingyang, was dressed in military uniform, riding a horse and standing in front of the mansion gate.
The people who came immediately stopped, and the two leading people looked at each other, and the souls of the dead were in danger......
