Chapter 848: Decadent middle-aged Li Shimin

Li Muhui chose to travel lightly and return immediately. also has his own abacus, and what he did in Miaojiang can be regarded as a prelude to the first and then the prelude. Although it is for the sake of the court everywhere, if there is that dog-gnawed imperial history who wants to join him or something, there are still pigtails to grab. Although he is not afraid, it is not necessary.

The matter of counterinsurgency was discussed by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the pot that was deducted from him, and he could not get rid of it. Even if he wanted to procrastinate, he couldn't procrastinate. Because it is obviously conceivable that Li You can't stir up any trouble. Let's put it this way, if Li Shimin can stand up to the rumors, regardless of Li You, just throw him like that, for a year and a half, he himself will stop.

Some people may be surprised, this is a rebellion, no matter what, I'm afraid that I will fight in Chang'an for a year and a half?

Most of the people in Datang who can have this kind of thinking are only those rotten Confucians who only know how to read. It was only about ten years since the end of the Sui Dynasty. Li Shimin's veterans who are all over the world are still in the army today. These people are scattered in the Zhichong Mansion and are the main force in the army at the moment. They know Li Shimin, but they don't know Li You. Even if he doesn't have this loyalty, one is the emperor who sits on the world, and the other is the prince who is in a corner of peace. One is Lao Tzu and the other is Dad. One is the invincible Tiance general, and the other is a hairy boy who has not dried up, do you still need to choose?

If you think you will live a long time, you can follow Li You to mess around.

Let's not talk about the soldiers and horses, the difference is too great. Speaking of logistics, Qizhou, the land of a state. Even if all the grain and grass are requisitioned, how much can there be? When there is a war, there is a bottomless pit of grain and grass, and there is not enough for much. Li Shimin gave an order, all businessmen did not dare to transport grain and grass to Qizhou, even if Qizhou had a bumper harvest this year, the grain and grass would only be enough for a few months at most, and they would not be able to hold on for half a year.

What's more, Li You doesn't know the art of war and tactics, and the talents under his hands - there are no talents at all, Wenchen, the one who can count is his uncle Yin Hongzhi, a son of an official eunuch from a humble background. What about the generals? Yin Hongzhi's nephews, Yan Hongxin and Yan Hongliang, are said to be 'brave and powerful', but compared to the court where the fierce generals are like clouds, these two things are at best a partial general.

To deal with them, the court sent Cheng Biting Jin, a notoriously brave and unscrupulous reckless man, who is a bully, if you have to wait for a while, Li Ji's personal soldier Wang Hu is the one who defends the city in Dingxiang with Li Mu and Li Siwen, and he is still more suitable.

This combination of rebellion corresponds to the very famous sentence on the Internet before Li Mu crossed: Give you a chance, you won't be useful!

According to the analysis of the Ministry of War, the best plan for the imperial court to suppress the rebellion is to treat it as if it was not seen. If you do, there are two outcomes. The first is that the king of Qi can't shrink out, and the food stops by itself. Another is that he chose to attack and fought all the way from Qizhou. If he had chosen so, perhaps the 'rebellion' would have ended earlier, because if so, the Ministry of War predicted that he would probably be defeated by the guards in a certain county after 'capturing' two or three counties, due to the consumption of some troops, the looting aroused public anger, and the local clans rising up to fight back.

This battle, fought, did not do any good, but it may be recorded in the history books and become a shame for his combat career. What general would be willing to do it in such a period?

Even if it is a reckless man like Cheng Biting Jin, he is unwilling, let alone Li Ji, Li Jing and others?

So Li Mu knew that he couldn't escape. Even if he drags it, it is very likely that the court will wait for him. You Li Mu can't never come back, right? Anyway, there's no rush here, are you slowing down?

The civil and military officials are not in a hurry, can Li Shimin not be in a hurry? As long as Li You rebelled for a day, it was equivalent to having one hundred and eighty strong men give him a big mouth with bows left and right. He sat on the dragon chair as if he were sitting on pins and needles! Since the news of Li You's rebellion reached Chang'an, Li Shimin resigned. He really has no face, facing the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military!

For three whole days, he sat in the Taiji Palace without eating or drinking, describing it as withered. Whoever told him anything, he didn't react at all.

Therefore, when Li Mu crossed the Minjiang River, he received a flying pigeon from the eldest grandson queen, telling him to speed up his journey. At the same time, he also asked him to write a letter to persuade Li Shimin. No matter what happens, you can't skip a meal.

Li Mu had no choice but to write a letter, and the flying pigeon passed the book back. He counted the days, and if nothing else, the pigeons flew to Chang'an in about two and a half days. Counting the time it took to fly over, it was a week before and after, and I don't know if Your Majesty can stand it, in case you can't figure out starving yourself to burp, your own butterfly that crosses, the strength of the flutter seems to be a little too strong.

Starry night, a month's journey. Half a month later, Li Mu drove straight through Vermilion Bird Street, and entered the palace gate non-stop. In the Manchu Dynasty, there were no more than three people with this honor, and Li Mu was the only one who dared to do this.

When he arrived at the gate of Taiji Palace, Li Mu dismounted. Gonggong Gao received the bottom of the steps, saw Li Mu, and quickly pulled his sleeve: "Master Hou, you can be regarded as coming back, if you are later, our family is really afraid of Your Majesty him-"

Li Mu's acting skills are also perfect, and he screamed sadly, saying: "It's me who came back late, and I deserve death, take me to see Your Majesty!" ”

Gonggong Gao led Li Mu and hurried to the palace gate. Gao Gonggong helped Li Mu push the door open, but he didn't go in, Li Mu glanced at him, Gao Gonggong gave him a look back, Li Mu suddenly handed over a yellow thing without leaving a trace, and flashed into the hall.

A smell of roast lamb shank permeated the Taiji Hall. Li Mu looked over along the taste, and saw Li Shimin sitting on a small stool, grilling meat on a copper stove.

There is a small table next to it, with spices, daggers, plates, and one roasted on the stove, Li Shimin is holding one in his hand, he eats very thoughtfully, he does not bite and eat with a big meal, but uses a knife to cut into slices, and then eats with chopsticks.

His expression was a little stunned, and his eyes were staring out of the glass window, as if he was thinking about some life problem.

Hearing the creaking of the temple door, Li Shimin turned his head. Li Mu saw Li Shimin's appearance at this time, his beard was unshaven and he looked like a man in a mid-life crisis, it seems that in the matter of decadence, men are really surprisingly consistent.

"You're back," Li Shimin sighed and smiled bitterly: "I read the Flying Pigeon Story, and I did a good job." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Li Mu was not polite, came to Li Shimin, sat on the ground with a butt, reached out to pick up the idle dagger, and cut a piece of meat on Li Shimin's leg of mutton, Li Shimin looked at him, Li Mu looked at the meat on the plate, hesitated, did not pick it up and eat, but snatched the half-cut leg of mutton from Li Shimin's hand, and gnawed it directly on his mouth.

Li Shimin smiled helplessly, dropped the dagger in his hand, stopped eating, and watched Li Mu eat by himself.

"You already know the thing, and it makes you laugh." Li Shimin sighed again and said, "The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all watching my jokes, and I am really faceless." ”

"Oh, what do you want to face?"

"Huh?" Li Shimin glared.

"The minister lost his words." Li Mu made a gesture to give himself a mouthful, and begged for mercy: "The minister said it casually, but it was also a truth. Your Majesty, you think, since ancient times, those who have achieved great things, which one is all great, but there are many things for His Holiness to hide. History books are written by victors, and these are all small things, as long as they are solved quickly and accurately, after a few years, no one will mention them. ”

Saying that, Li Mu gave a sycophant: "Future generations will only see His Majesty's great achievements, small things, compared with His Majesty's achievements, what is the truth?" ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a while, his expression became much more lively, and said: "The truth is indeed a bit interesting, but what does 'Wei Guangzheng' mean?" I didn't get it. ”

"The great and righteous are great, bright, and righteous." Li Mu gnawed half of the leg of mutton and said: "It's not important, Your Majesty, this matter is handed over to the minister, you can give a sentence, if you want to die, you want to live, and other things, don't worry about Your Majesty." ”

"Dead or alive?"

Li Mu's words made Li Shimin fall into a state of decadence.

Li Shimin muttered to himself and said, "After this incident, Concubine Yin felt sorry for me, and she had already sought death twice." It is true that Yin Hongzhi deserves to die, and Li You deserves to die too. But Concubine Yin doesn't deserve to die in my heart. She is very good to me, and I can't say how deep and righteous I am with her, but I have also respected each other for many years. I really can't bear to see her find a short-sightedness, but if you want to give death to Yin Hongzhi, and Li You's rebel son, Concubine Yin will be better off than dead, and I am conflicted in my heart, and it is difficult to make a decision. ”

Li Shimin sighed, and said: "And Li You's rebel-" Li Shimin gritted his teeth: "How dare he, how dare he have such a mind!" He is just a concubine, how dare he think about the throne! Even if I am not satisfied with the crown prince, there is also the king of Wei. Even if the king of Wei doesn't make it, there are still childish slaves. Even if I don't use my son-in-law, he is not the longest among my sons-in-law. Why can't it be his turn, how dare he have such delusions? ”

"It's all Yin Hongzhi!"

Li Shimin scolded: "I shouldn't have softened my heart back then and persuaded my father to keep him." You should kill all the young and old men of the Yin family! should let him cut off his children and grandchildren! Raising tigers is a problem, and I have seen it today! ”

Li Mu secretly pursed his lips and said in his heart, after all, don't you want to excuse your son? Li You, even if he doesn't have such an uncle, it's not a good thing.

But looking at Li Shimin is so miserable now, don't tell this kind of truth.

Li Mu took the second leg of mutton, blew it, then gnawed it, and asked, "Your Majesty, is it alive or dead?" You make a decision early, and you should go to work early. ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Mu hopefully and said, "If I want him to live, can I do it?" ”

"What can't be done," Li Mu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor, and within the four seas, it is not the king's land, and life and death are all at your will." Whoever you let live, he can live. ”

"But the Manchu Dynasty is civil and militaryβ€”"

"Let them talk?" Li Mu said indifferently: "Selling fame and fame, with a straight reputation, they will follow their wishes, and killing a few people will stop." ”

"Nope." Li Shimin waved his hand again and again, and said: "This matter has become a laughing stock, Li You is innocent of his death, if I favor him, what should people in the world say about me?" No, absolutely not. Li Youneng rebelled, and he died innocently. ”

"Then you're going to die." Li Mu immediately changed his course: "If Your Majesty doesn't want to bear the name of killing your son, the minister will take the blame." It's just that His Majesty has to write a note to the minister, and if someone attacks the minister with this in the future, the minister has something to say. ”

Li Shimin glared at him, can he write this kind of note? If you write it, you might as well kill it yourself.

"Why don't you ......" Li Mu guessed his intentions and said, "The minister will find a way to let the King of Qi die from the loss, you see?" ”

"I don't look at it!" Li Shimin was annoyed and angry, "No." Li Shimin waved his hand again and again, and said: "This matter has become a laughing stock, Li You is innocent of his death, if I favor him, what should people in the world say about me?" No, absolutely not. Li Youneng rebelled, and he died innocently. ”

"Then you're going to die." Li Mu immediately changed his course: "If Your Majesty doesn't want to bear the name of killing your son, the minister will take the blame." It's just that His Majesty has to write a note to the minister, and if someone attacks the minister with this in the future, the minister has something to say. ”
